Adham finds Maham hiding and gets stunned, Jalal is going towards Maham, but Adham stops him and takes him to the other side.
Maham along with Chand runs from there, Adham says to Jalal that there are foot steps here, maybe this is the way to the secret place, Jalal goes with the soldiers, they see some wall, Jalal says I think there is something behind this wall, he asks the soldiers to break the wall, they break it. Jalal comes into the secret place of Maham, Jalal thinks that there is a big secret place near my Palace and I didn’t know? He recalls how Jodha once heard noise in the jail, it was from the secret place.
In Court, Jalal ask Atgah did you find anything? Atgah says no, we didn’t find any lead, Jalal says I can’t believe that my mother is in prison from many years and I didn’t know of it, I am helpless. Todar says don’t be sad, this happens, people make secret places to hide themselves, Jalal says I can’t get peace by these words, they are my own.
Sharifudden says but she tried to attack you, you should not be lenient. Jalal says I don’t want anything, but Chand begum is my mother and Nigar is my sister and I will find them, he ask Atgah, Adham to search every nook and corner!
Jalal is with Jodha, Jodha says don’t worry, you will find Chand begum, Jalal says when, my every minister is searching but I cant find her, my sister was living here, but she didn’t even talk to me, you supported her, but she attacked you and me, Jodha says it’s all a misunderstanding, by the time this clears up, everything will be fine, it’s the rule of relations,
remember when I got to hate you, it was my misunderstanding that I thought you are bad, then remember when you doubted my character, It was your misunderstanding, same way Nigar has misunderstanding that you captured her mother, the only difference is that we got time to sort out our misunderstanding but Nigar couldn’t even talk to you.
Jalal says I wish I could tell her that I didn’t kidnap her mother, do you remember when we went to jail of the Palace, you heard something from the otherside of the wall, Jodha says yes, Jalal says I feel like that Chand begum was captured in that place (otherside of wall/secret place of Maham).
Jodha says yes, I remember the noise in jail, Jalal says I feel like Chand was captured there because I got to know that there is a secret hut there, but when I went there, Chand was not present, I don’t know where she is, I don’t know why God is punishing me.
Maham is with Chand, Adham ask how many secret places you have Maham? Maham says this room is beside my room, she ask him to open the gate, he opens it and sees her room in the Palace, Maham says I told you this so you can be aware of it, Maham says soon, Nigar will attack Agra, then everything will be sorted!
Nigar is with Abul Mali, she ask Abul Mali did you send letter to Jalal? He says yes, Nigar says I wait for the day when I will fight with him with my sword, she ask what if he ignores my letter? Abul Mali says relax and go and rest, she goes, Abul Mali thinks that my soldiers have gone to Agra, and soon, jalal will get to know!
In Court, Jalal is being told that Punjab is attacked and it’s snatched from the Mughal Saltanates, all are stunned, Jalal ask whose force was that? The soldier says don’t know. One soldier reads the letter by Nigar that;
She will soon attack Agra and she asked to answer this letter!
Jalal says I will answer back after thinking.
At night, Jodha ask Jalal what he’s thinking? Jalal says my sister hates me, she wants to fight with me. Jodha says she didn’t talk to you and if she thinks that you captured her mother, this means someone is making her go against you, someone is filling her ears, Jalal says I feel suffocated by these family fights, in my childhood too, my Paternal Uncle used to fight with my father for throne, my father tried to explain to him, he loved him, but today as well, these things are being repeated.
A soldier comes and informs Jalal that Agra is being attacked, Jalal goes with him. Atgah and Jalal comes to Agra’s main street and sees goons killing common people and putting their houses on fire. Jalal, Todar, and Atgah starts fighting with them, they kill all.
Jalal says they attacked us today, we can’t be quiet now! Atgah says Nigar has attacked Agra, we can’t sit quiet against her now. Jalal says no, someone is using her, Atgah says she killed innocent people, how can we sit quiet? Jalal says no, I will not do anything to my sister, people call me AKBAR, I can’t kill my sister, he leaves from there.
Todar tells Atgah that whether Jalal accepts it or not, but we will have to fight against Nigar soon.
Jodha comes to Jalal and says whether you agree or not, you will have to fight, Jalal says no, I can’t start a war.
There, Atgah and Todar are planning to start the battle, Atgah says our soldiers are out in search of Nigar, so we are weak. A soldier comes and tells him that it’s not the force of any person, and the force which attacked was of Mah Chuchak, which was sent from Kabul, Atgah is stunned and ask are you sure? The soldier says I am sure.
Jodha tells Jalal that you can’t be soft with her now, you have to fight and if you don’t, then your people will be killed, it’s King’s duty to save his people, you are given that name AKBAR by people, so you have to fulfill your duties for your people, sometimes, you have to take hard ways to make someone understand, Krishna ji also fought with his
Uncle, so you have to take this hard way to make Nigar understand. You are a King and you have to protect your nation.
Jalal says don’t tell me my duties, I know what is best for my people, just leave me alone for sometime! Jodha sadly leaves.
Mirza says today, I am ashamed that Mah Chuchak is my mother, I knew my mother doesn’t like Jalal.
Ruqaiya ask Hoshiyar to play with her chess, she says you are playing like a child, Jodha comes there, Ruqaiya thinks what is she doing here? Jodha comes to Ruqaiya and greets her, Ruqaiya taunts her that it’s not Jalal’s room that you can come in anytime! Jodha says Jalal is tensed, Ruqaiya says so what? You are enough for him! Jodha says it’s not the time to taunt, I need your help, Jalal thinks that Nigar is his sister and he will not fight against her, but Nigar has attacked Agra. Ruqaiya says so what? Go to Jalal and pacify him!!
Jodha says you are not understanding, you are Jalal’s friend and his first wife, you understand him better, you can make him agree, Ruqaiya says no, these days, you are understanding Jalal more, you can make him agree, Jodha says no, try and understand, Jalal doesn’t want to do war against Nigar and she on the other hand has attacked Agra. Ruqaiya says so you want Jalal to fight against his Sister? Jodha says no, I just want Jalal to fight against the people who are using Nigar, who are taking advantage of the situation, you know Abul Mali has also attacked after seeing the chance, I just want Jalal to save his nation, do you want that Mughal Saltante to suffer, and even if Jalal goes to battle field, he will fight with half his heart but you can make Jalal understand, Ruqaiya thinks and says Jalal is there to see to the matter of the Saltanate, I want to sleep, you go, Jodha dejectedly leaves.
Ruqaiya calls Hoshiyar and ask him to tell Jalal that I want to meet him in human chess room, Hoshiyar ask did Jodha came to tell you to play chess with Jalal? Ruqaiya says shut up and do what I said! He leaves.
Ruqaiya meets Jalal and tells him that we didn’t play chess for so many days now, Jalal says Agar is being attacked and you are asking me to play chess with you? Ruqaiya says exactly, this is not the time to play chess nor to get emotional, you are not just a brother but a King too and a King is King first, then brother or a son, the King’s relation with the throne is the biggest, I know you have got the heart but now, the throne doesn’t want a soft hearted loving brother but want Jalal who used to fight like a warrior, the Saltanates needs that Jalal who used to win all wars, who took sword in his hands when he was just nine years old, go Jalal and wear your uniform, think Jalal, what if they finish Mughal Saltanate, can you see your special wives wiping utensils in your enemies Palaces??
Jalal says I can’t do this, I can’t fight against my Sister. Ruqaiya says she is not your sister right now, she tried to kill you, okay maybe she doesn’t kill you, but her force can destroy everything, think about your father, you have to take the sword in your hands against the people who are using Nigar, where is that Jalal who punished his Sister (Bakshi bano) his Mother (Maham Anga), wake up Jalal, go fight with enemies, you have to fight for your nation!
Jalal recalls Jodha’s words that you have to take the hard route for your enemies, he thinks.
Hamida offers Namaz and prays to God that give Jalal strength that he chooses the right path and win every war, Atgah and Todar comes to meet her, Todar says I don’t know how to talk to you, but I have to tell you about the war, Atgah says we got to know who is helping Nigar in this war, it’s none other than MAH CHUCHAK, Hamida says I knew that she doesn’t like me and Jalal, but she can’t go to such extent, now I know who is probing Nigar against Jalal, she is starting war against Jalal, it’s betrayal, Jalal cant bear this.
Todar says that Jalal said no when we asked to do war against Nigar and now, if he gets to know about Mah Chuchak, then… Hamida says I know he will be broken by this news but King Jalal have to answer to this act!
Atgah says if you make Jalal understand, then it will be good, Hamida agrees to talk to Jalal.
Jalal comes to Court and ask Hamida that why did you call all people to talk to me? Hamida says I don’t want to talk to my son but I want to address King Jalal, we got to know who is helping Nigar in war, MAH CHUCHAK is doing this, she wants your throne, all are stunned. Atgah ask Jalal to order us what to to do, Jalal says my mother, my sister wants to do war against me, my God!
Todar says they don’t respect relations, if it was only Nigar, we could say that she is angry but now, they are attacking your Saltanate, Hamida says if we stay silent against these betrayers, then people will think that the King is not able to protect them, you have to take decision! Atgah ask to give permission for war.
Jalal says being King, I have the duty to protect my people. Jalal says I always respect my relatives, but my relatives didn’t reciprocate it, if my Mother and Sister is a threat to my nation, then King Jalal’s sword will not sit quietly!! Mirza tensely looks at Jalal.
Jalal says enough! Now, I can’t stay silent, what do they think that I will not do anything? They can kill me, but I won’t let them kill my people, King Jalal is announcing war against them!! All the Ministers takes out their swords except Mirza.
Abul Mali and Nigar comes to meet Mah Chuchak, they greet her, Mah Chuchak says to Haider that I want to be alone with Nigar, Haider says but I am your… Beg says it’s her order and she doesn’t like to listen to no, Haider angrily leaves.
Maham says to Adham that this war is not going to be easy, the little I know Mah Chuchak, she will put her 100% in this war, this is going to be dangerous, Adham says I have to go to this war, I have to fight from Jalal’s side, strange, the King I want to kill, I have to fight for him, what if something happens to me? Maham says no, nothing will happen, Jalal has decided to leave some soldiers in the Palace, I will try that you stay in the Palace, Maham says if Jalal wins or loses this war, in both cases, we will win.
Mah Chuchak says to Nigar that congrats, you started a war in Agra and came safely here, she shows her blood and says this blood is of people who were loyal to Jalal, someday, you will sit on Agra’s throne, Nigar says it’s my wish, Mah Chuchak says you have to fight till the end, Nigar says you trust me and I will not let you down, she ask Beg to take Nigar to her room, she ask Abul Mali that my Sister and your Wife is waiting for you, he nods, Mah Chuchak says I am waiting for the day when Nigar will win Agra and will give it to me, I will be the Queen!
Jodha says to Salima that I am sad for Mirza, he was very sad when Hamida told everyone in Court about Mah Chuchak, Salima says Mirza loves Jalal and his mother, so he must be sad, Salima says I don’t understand why Mah Chuchak is doing this, she is going against Humayun too.
Jalal comes there and says I don’t have much time, I am very tensed about Mirza, he is very sad, Jodha says we were talking about it, Jalal says he loves his mother a lot, he must be worried to choose between a brother and a mother, Jodha says it’s same situation for you too, Jalal says yes, but I am the King, he leaves.
Atgah gives report to Jalal about the Mughal force and their weapon, Atgah says that our soldiers are spread in different regions so our force is less in numbers than Mah Chuchak, Jalal says yes, it is, but our power is much more, if we use our soldiers wisely, then we will win it. Atgah tells him about Mah Chuchak’s force, he says that they are coming to Agra.
Mirza comes there, Mirza says my Saltanate is being attacked, so I will fight, Jalal says but she is your mother, Mirza says she is your mother too, but you are also dong war, you are protecting your nation and I will do the same, I will bury my mother after she dies, but now I have to fight against her. Atgah says there is one problem, to protect the Harem women, we have to leave some soldiers here too.
Jalal says so we have to keep the soldiers here too but I don’t have force, so it’s my decision that the Harem will come with me. Todar says it can be dangerous for them, Jalal says Harem can be attacked when I am not here, so it’s safe that they come with me.
Jalal comes to the Harem women, he says you all know that I need force with me to fight in battle and to protect you, I can’t leave you alone in the Harem, so you all will come with me, Hamida says is it safe for women? Jalal says Shehnaz knows this Palace very well, she can attack the Palace, so you all have to come with me, Salima agrees with Jalal. Jalal says to all women that your protection is my responsibility, you all have to leave the Palace as soon as possible, and Maham anga, it’s your responsibility to take out all wives of the Harem from the Palace, Maham nods.
