only to satiate their hunger.

(Tribal language)

That means death.

Bakar Zokaar will not survive now.

Zokaafl

Sarman... Sarman...

This is the meaning

of your coming here Sarman!

You are the savior of Mohenjo Daro!

And if the people

were to learn who you are...

they will stand by you!

You are the only hope, Sarman...

or else the future generations

will never know...

the truth or the goodness

of Moherfyo Dare.

Moonja.

You are to be the next

Senate Chief of Mohenjo Daro!

But I can already

sense defeat in you!

I will not let my son be defeated

without spilling any blood.

If you want to live in

a garden of flowers...

you must first

weed out the wild plants.

The Priest?

The Priest... and Chaani!

We no longer have any

use for the two of them.

No father...

Chaani is not to blame,

Sarman is!

He has misled Chaani!

His neck was in my hands,

only if-

Now the fire in my body

will only be doused by his blood!

Chaani is mine!

Open your eyes, Moonja!

Love will make you weak, Moonja!

Do not focus on love,

rule instead!

Soon, Mohenjo Daro will be yours...

the entire Sindhu Land

will be yours...

any girl you set

your eyes on, will be yours!

But first, make use of

these weapons, Moonja!

And spill the blood

of that Chosen One...

of the Priest...

of Sarman...

let none of them

see the next sunrise.

Moonja!

Father!

Father!

Run!

Father!

If not to me,

then you belong to no one!

We must tell them

the truth, Sarman!

Everyone listen!

Sarman has a very deep

connection to Mohenjo Daro.

My father had learned this...

and that is why,

before the test of Bakar and Zokaar...

my father told Sarman the truth.

- And what is that, Chaani?

- The truth is...

that Sarman is the son

of the Senate Chief, Srujan!

I knew it!

This youth of Amri

was born on this very land!

Duflan?

And my father was confident that when

the people would learn the truth...

then they would come together

and stand behind Sarman!

Yes!

Maham blinded us by creating an

illusion of a great Mohenjo Daro...

but now,

our eyes have been opened!

We made a mistake once...

not again!

O son of Srujan...

we are ready to fight!

Show us the way...

we are with you, Sarman!

Right!

First of all...

we must heal the wounds

that run deep.

All those people who gave

their lives for Mohenjo Daro...

we will honor their sacrifice.

We will give their remains

their last rites.

Yes, Sarman!

You are right! Let's go!

First, we must give him peace!

Senate Chief Srujan!

He had always spoken the truth!

My father!

So many monsoons have passed!

Why did you not

tell me about my past?

I was afraid, Sarman.

I had already lost Srujan...

I was afraid

that I would lose you too.

Forgive me, Sarman.

I was weak.

I did not have your father's courage!

Forgive me!

We were always worried

about your well being...

back then and even now.

Forgive us!

We cannot change the past, Aunt Bima.

We can now only look to the future!

Make preparations for

the last rites of my son!

According to Harappan tradition...

we will put his body

in flowing water.

You and I have no

relation to Harappa!

We are related by birth!

That relation was broken

many monsoons ago!

Who broke this relation?

You betrayed them!

For what do you seek revenge?!

And till when will

you keep seeking it?

These weapons will not

bring your son back!

This yellow metal cannot

give you your revenge!

Laashfl

The cause of every problem in

Mohenjo Daro... is your greed, Maham!

The death of my son is

also because of your greed!

Do you know who Sarman is?

He is Srujan's son!

You put his father on a staff

and he killed your son!

This is the justice of the Sindhu!

You are responsible

for the death of your son, Maham!

Now whatever you do, you cannot

stop your own destruction!

Srujan's son?

Sarman is Srujan's son?!

Many monsoons ago the Sindhu river

used to flow through here.

Quickly...

Work quickly!

Before the sunrise tomorrow...

we have to dispatch

the bullcarts to Dholavira.

Let's g0!

Work quickly!

Load the sacks of Gold

onto the bullcarts!

Sarman, despite knowing everything,

I continued to serve Maham.

Now I want to serve Mohenjo Daro.

Tell us, what must we do?

The traders from Sumer have left

with their carts full of Gold.

We must stop them!

This is our only chance

to expose Maham's betrayal.

- Right! When do we leave?

- Now!

Ishme-Dagan!

This path will lead you

straight to Dholavira.

I thank you.

What is the matter?

- I am only a trader!

- You are a smuggler!

The next time you smuggle your

weapons into Sindhu Land...

you will have to face me!

Bhanu!

Listen carefully!

Go to the dam and wait there,

keep your eyes on the water.

If you see any signs of trouble,

come and tell me.

Right? Go!

- Right.

Senate Chief!

Sarman and his supporters

have taken the Gold!

What?!

They have also taken Kulka prisoner!

Now, they are bringing him

in front of the people!

How could this have happened?

Before the sun reaches the top...

Kulka and Sarman,

should not be left alive.

' Go!

Let's go!

Listen!

Inform all the Chiefs...

the Senate will

assemble immediately.

Till now, Maham had you believe

that in exchange of Gold...

we will get goods, which we can

use in the upkeep of the city.

But this was not the case!

In exchange for this Gold, Maham was

trading this with the Sumerians.

Weapons of Copper!

And on the strength

of these weapons...

he was going to launch

an attack on Harappa!

He wants to take revenge

for his humiliation.

And this is the reason why Maham

had proposed to build the dam.

The time has come for us to raise

our palms and turn them into fists.

Yes!

Let's charge towards the Senate!

Everyone knows the truth

about you, Maham!

No one stands with you anymore!

Your crimes end here and now.

Who will end me?

Who has the courage to...

You have invited death, Sarman!

Whoever opposed me was killed!

I put even Srujan on the staff!

The blood that you have spilled

the same blood runs in my veins!

I am your end, Maham!

Kill him!

Strike him!

In exchange for his head,

you will get Gold!

He has nothing to give you!

The people have taken over everything,

your gold rig and your weapons!

You are alone, Maham!

Completely alone.

No!

Do not be misled by him!

I am still the Senate Chief

and you work for me!

We do not work for you, Maham,

but for gold!

It is clear to me that you have

nothing left to offer!

So now that you have gold,

you consider yourself powerful?

Your greed to rule is making

you do this, Sarman!

What then is the difference

between me and you?!

There is a difference, Maham!

You want to rule

over Mohenjo Daro...

and I want to serve it...

like my father used to do.

This is my city, Maham!

This is my father,

Srujan's city!

Chiefs of the Senate...

the ones who stand by Maham,

raise your palms...

but those who oppose,

show your fists!

The new Senate Chief of

Mohenjo Daro, will be Sarman!
