I'm sorry.

Salim.

- Get him, go.

- Go, Pawan.

I'll have to break the arrow off, Tulaja.

Just be brave, okay? Be brave.

Sonubai? Sona.

Wife! Sona...

Sonu?

What you had asked for is done...

- my queen.

- It is done?

Yes.

My king, I'm queen.

- Udaji.

- Father.

- What happened?

- The king is deposed.

- He's dead.

- Who killed him? Raoji?

Yes. Raoji.

- I must go back.

- Get her in.

I must go back to the queen.

James. James.

Charlie.

That's from Governor Hornby.

Oh, aye.

Colonel Egerton has seized the day.

There's been a coup in Purandhar.

The king?

Assassinated.

We have to get there post-haste.

"Upon completion of this mission,

you shall receive 1,000 gold sovereigns?"

Well, Massachusetts here we come!

- Maybe. Joost!

- Sir!

Have the men strike camp.

Desai, we leave at once.

Well...

your father will be pleased that we have

Captain Stewart to escort us to Pahadpur.

Does Captain Stewart know

you're in love with him?

Dolly, enough! Enough!

- Tulaja, it's too soon.

- Udaji, I need to do this.

Yes, but you haven't fully

recovered yet, Tulaja. Please.

We need a spy at the palace.

You said so yourself.

Let me come with you.

Stay here and help your father, Udaji.

That is your duty and I must do mine.

Goodbye, my friend.

In every breath of wind,

there's a word and that word is shame.

I can hear it in the rustle

of every leaf.

- Can you live under the rule of a coward?

- No!

Because we will all be cowards if we fail

to avenge the murder of our king!

Twenty years I served

as chief minister to his father.

I, Mudhoji Kiledar

will destroy the usurper Raoji,

I swear it!

The palace is called the Rajwada.

- Magnificent, isn't it?

- Is that where we're going to stay?

- Does the king have a harem?

- I don't think so, Dolly.

But doubtless she'll ask him.

My Lord...

I know you fear that your enemies

will rally around the dead king's heir.

Why don't you let me give... you an heir

of your own. They can rally around him?

We must kill the queen.

Now, you're king...

next, you'll be emperor.

- Queen.

- What are you doing here?

Highness.

Not so high anymore. You're wounded.

No, Highness, I'm fine.

They mean to kill me.

They can't.

No one can do anything to you.

No one's going to hurt you.

They mustn't know I'm pregnant.

I swore to them I'm not.

Go! Go!

It is usual to stand

when a queen enters.

When a queen enters, I will stand.

I've brought peach oil for your hair...

after we've washed it.

Just like old times.

Have you put weight on?

I think so.

My husband says we must

take great care of you.

He's a king now.

And a king's disapproval is worse

than a husband's disapp...
