The Prime Minister informs Gangadhar that the medals for British officers are made by Jhansi's goldsmith, Samir Chandra. After Samir Chandra reads the initials on the medal, the Prime Minister says that it belongs to Marshall. Gangadhar asks the Prime Minister to give the 8000 gold coins to Lallan's wife. Gangadhar refrains from telling Laxmibai about Marshall for he fears she would ruin herself in flames of vengeance. A harried Sleeman denies that Marshall is in Jhansi despite being shown the medal by Gangadhar. A furious Sleeman orders Marshall to leave Jhansi immediately. Meanwhile, Lallan's wife is grateful for the gold coins, and thanks Laxmibai for being so understanding in spite of Lallan betraying her family at the behest of a British officer. When Laxmibai asks her who the officer was, Lallan's wife tells her that the British officer had one gold tooth. A shocked Laxmibai then recollects Prachi shouting out to her about Marshall at the procession.
