Delhi, 1529:
Hari Bazz tracks down the key to the ruins of the Indraprastha region. But he finds he is too late, it has already been retrieved by Pratap Rao, a minor subedar. He tails Rao to a brothel, where he is enjoying a grand dance by Akhtari Begum. Eliminating all opposition , Hari enters the bed- chamber and asks the Begum to leave. As Rao hurtles into the room lustfully, Hari holds the blade to his throat and asks where the key is. In due course, it becomes clear that Rao is part of a secret organization left behind by Ashoka the Great, entrusted to find the devices of salvation that can shape the world. But now they plan to use those devices to cripple the Mughals and drive them out of the country. And they are so well hidden in the Mughal administration that they have obtained Babur's permission for their own decimation. Hari debates what is the best way forward and in that delay, Rao raises a cry for help and then impales himself on the blade. Guards come rushing, and Hari is helped by the Begum in hiding and subsequently escaping the city.
