Original subtitles

Not only did Prince Salim ask emperor Akbar,

to construct a grand tomb for Anarkali within the empire,

but he also demanded an apology from emperor Akbar.

Will the emperor apologize for a concubine?

We may have several differences, but I understand prince Salim's emotions.

I believe these demands are fair.

He will not settle for peace until

all accusations against Anarkali aren't dismissed.

The empire will never agree,

to the terms of a bloodthirsty prince.

Even we have blood on our hands.

Care to elaborate Man Singh?

We have not just killed on the battlefield,

but we have secretly executed several conspiracies that weren't fair.

We murdered innocent people.

We did everything that was never justified.

To call prince Salim a murderer is to ignore our own hypocrisy.

We have never killed a Prince.

Prince Murad's death wasn't as simple as you explained it.

Also Prince Daniyal's death.

My queen we do not have time for wild accusations.

We must deal with the matter at hand.

Tell Salim,

his demands will not be met.

And the only way he will avoid,

further bloodshed is to crawl,

on his hands and knees and beg to Akbar for mercy.

This kind of message means an invitation of war.

This is not the way our emperor, was dealing with the matter Queen.

The emperor's methods are no longer effective.

To teach Salim a lesson,

we must resort to the old barbaric methods.

There is no scope for mercy.

Arjumand for your father.

What happened?

Passing on these notes is causing my father tremendous strain.

He fears there are too many eyes watching him, Aunt.

Tell your father not to worry.

He will definitely get the reward,

for his loyalty very soon.

Leave all these things.

Tell me, Have you found a suitor yet?

Father is very selective.

Only the best for you.

Aunt.

Are you fine?

Yes. I am fine.

Go. Pass on the message before it is too late.

Yes.

Oh Lord!

Not his.

Salima.

We should tell the Emperor what Ruqaiya is doing.

You have seen the state he is in?

As such, he won't understand.

And even if he understands, he won't be able to cope with it.

Prince Khurram.

I was...

How is he?

Sometimes when I talk to him,

I sense his hands' movements.

Like he can hear everything.

I never imagined that one day I would see him in this condition.

Age is such.

It doesn't see whether it's Taimur or Genghis.

Had father seen him in this condition,

I am sure he would have made truce with him.

My father is not the devil.

That he would...

Your father might have innumerable vices.

But he had faith in only one thing.

What?

Love.

This empire snatched even that from him.

Will he destroy everything for something which no longer exists?

What kind of revenge is that?

Its not revenge he wants.

But justice.

Sometimes a question arises in my mind.

If father really comes here to murder grandfather,

will I let him do that?

Or will I fight with my father?

What answer do you get?

I simply want to protect both of them.

We will have to keep a close watch on these meetings,

between Mehrunissa and her brother.

They might be sending all news to Salim.

Possible.

Mehrunissa will be dealt with accordingly.

At present, we will have to focus on getting rid of Salim.

He has humiliated the emperor and this kingdom enough.

Salim may not be breathing for long.

He has enemies everywhere.

The governors of both Lahore and Srinagar,

are particularly vexed by his recent actions.

And do you suppose one of these "enemies",

could bring forth his demise sooner rather than later?

Not them Queen.

At present we cannot take the risk of a civil war in the empire.

So then we need to find someone

with no allegiance, no obvious motive,

no way of being traced.

I think that could be arranged.

What happened?

Wounds have started healing.

When I was alive, I was imprisoned by a king's obstinacy.

Now after dying you have imprisoned me.

In grief.

Let me go now.

So that you are also free.

Salim love doesn't inflict wounds.

But it acts like a panacea.

I pray that you also experience this kind of love.

I could never ask you before.

But now I want to ask...

Permission to leave.

So our story is over.

Not story.

It's the saga of our love.

A saga that will be immortalized by history.

Everything will be fine.

And yes.

Here.

I have what you were looking for

Drink plenty of water after consuming this.

It helps with the pain.

Stay calm and stick to the story.

All I need from you is an audience with Prince Salim.

Nothing more.

But Prime Minister,

Prince Salim will have my head for such a deception.

Why? The bandit prince may be difficult, but he is not a monster.

You also desired to bring peace to these lands.

You did not see

how his soldiers slaughtered my men.

Halt.

Who is he?

Don't worry.

We have come with a message of peace for Prince Salim.

But I don't know anything...

- Hail the Goddess! - Hail the Goddess!

- Hail the Goddess! - Hail the Goddess!

Amar Singh, perfect timing.

I would not have missed this for the world.

Prime Minister, what is the meaning of all this?

We are going to beat Prince Salim at his own game.

But this is not what we agreed.

A plan works best when those involved only know their part.

I have seen how you and your sister work.

Keeping him one step ahead of our decisions.

It was you who sent the assassin?

And it will be I who kills Prince Salim,

when the negotiations fail.

You do not intend to negotiate, do you?

You are right.

But the history books will believe I did.

[Jodha] Stop it!

How could you do this to Salim, Ruqaiya?

Do what?

Don't feign ignorance.

Sending Abul Fazl will only make matters worse.

This is what you believe.

A capable man like Abul Fazl,

may be able to work his magic.

Your move won't work.

Whether it's peace or war,

this matter will be resolved.

Akbar would not approve of this.

At present the king cannot feel,

happiness or sorrow.

Now it's only the Queen.

Goodbye Salim.

Mehr! Mehr!

Do you know what the Queen has done?

Prince Khurram!

You must wake your grandfather, now!

I am only doing what should have been done a long time ago.

I am ending this war for the emperor.

Not for the emperor, for your own sake.

You are afraid of Salim because you feel slighted by him!

That ungrateful runt of yours has cost this kingdom more than,

all our other enemies combined.

Everything he has done, he has done for a noble cause.

Sleeping with his father's whore is hardly noble.

Ruqaiya.

Jodha!

How dare you raise your hand on me?

I am the Queen.

You must be.

You are not my Queen.

Then I will bury you next to Salim.

Nobody will be buried Ruqaiya.

Your Highness!

Should you be moving around?

I know.

Ruqaiya!

How dare you threaten the life of not only my son,

but of Jodha too.

I was angry, I didn't mean to.

You do not rule with anger. It solves nothing.

- I am sorry. - No.

This is the last decision you shall ever make on my throne.

I would sooner spend my last few days,

healing wounds than opening more.

You are very timid, Asaf. Keep moving.

Where are all the guards?

Drunk probably.

This is not a true kingdom.

These are nothing but idle bandits.

Are you ready?

So the weasel finally climbs out of his hole?

Yes, it has certainly been a while.

Not long enough Abul Fazl.

Well fortunately,

this is the last time our paths shall cross.

Goodbye, Prince Salim.

Hail the Goddess!

Thank you for warning me Amar Singh.

There is no need to thank me Prince Salim.

I owed it to you

as a friend.

I knew I never should have trusted you.

Remember to put that in your Mughal chronicles.

And what of this one?

Prince Salim!

Mercy!

Prince Salim!

Mercy!

Asaf Khan.

You are a useful man.

Mercy, Prince Salim.

I made a grave mistake Prince Salim.

Pardon me.

I can help you gain the throne.

I know all of Akbar's secrets.

Prince Salim!

Do you know where Anarkali was buried?

Yes. Anarkali...I...

You don't know.

Cut him into so many pieces that,

even history will get tired of counting.

No.

Thereafter I will write Akbarnama with his bones.

Prince Salim.

Goodbye Abul Fazl.
