The series concludes with the resurrected shah. Nasir al-Din stands weak and exhausted, adorned by the white coat he was assassinated in, and gesturing towards the very wound that killed him. Yet the shah’s marvelous return brings the series back to where it started, at the unique moment in which the ruler is bound to repeat the mistakes from his past that took him to the point of his death in the first place, returning to the shah’s alleged deathbed statement that “I will rule you in a different manner, if I live.”
