02x12 - Episode 12

[bunniefuu]

Don't waste yourself by letting your
ambition overwhelm you, Tradesman Rakif.

Make your choice.

A merchant records his loss.

But one day he comes
back to settle the account.

There are some sounds
outside, Mighty Vizier.

Won't you check it out?

The palace of Caliph...

It's burning, Fazil.

You burned that
palace, Mighty Vizier.

Inform the firefighters.

Yes my Vizier.

There might be something suspicious
behind the fire. Guards will come with us.

Let's go.

This is just the beginning,
Vizier Salahuddin.

This fire...

...will burn your throne.

Step back!

I said step back!

Why are you holding us here?

We didn't start the fire!
Don't you understand?

You set the palace
on fire. Surrender.

Lower your swords.
-Stop accusing us. Why would we cause a fire?

We were trapped in the smoke.

That's not what they're saying.

All of them were caught
fleeing with barrels of naphtha.

They confessed that they
received the order from you.

They all admitted it.

I will cut your tongue off now!

I am the chief
of tax collectors!

We came here to collect
taxes. Don't you understand?

If we came to burn this place, you'd be
collecting ashes right now. Move aside!

How did we end up In
such a situation, Atsiz?

Thanks to Allah,
they put it out.

What is happening here?

My Vizier...

...they're slandering
us. They claim...

...we set our eyes
on the treasury...

...and set the palace on fire.

What are you doing here?

They came to loot.

What loot are you talking
about Mighty Caliph?

My soldiers would
never do such a thing.

Don't be so sure, Vizier
Salahuddin. Your men...

...got into my
palace by force...

...attempted to steal
my possessions...

...and take them by force.

How can you lie like this?

Didn't I catch you
In the treasury?

When I resisted the chief tax
collector and his commanders' robbery...

...they set my palace
on fire using sl*ves.

The chief tax collector?

Where is Karategin?

Karategin!

He was just here. Karategin!

I'll avenge you for the
game you're playing!

Their escape is enough
proof of their guilt.

Catch them immediately
before they get away.

You two, take the
other units and go now.

Understood.

I swear, we came here to move
the treasury to the Vizier's Palace.

Cevher called us.

-They are slandering us.
-Why did you call them?

Me?

Why would I call you?
I didn't invite you here.

Tell me the matter
from the beginning.

Tell him Cevher.

Tell him so Vizier Salahuddin can
see how dishonorable his men are.

Let's go Inside.

Invite Merchant
Rakif too. Let's go.

Unless we capture Kerek...

...the conquest of Egypt
will remain incomplete.

We need intelligence
about the castle.

If you can inform us about everything
In Kerek, even a bird in the air...

...I will grant you the
trade privileges you want.

Are you asking
me to spy for you?

No.

I'm offering cooperation.

Because, like me, you
know very well that..

...your chance to govern
Ibelin as you wish...

...depends on the
situation in Kerek.

For my people, I destroyed
the sugarcane, but...

...now that I've been exposed...

...I can't make a move In
either Kerek or Jerusalem.

If you could come
here, Balian...

...you must have found a
way to overcome that obstacle.

I'm looking for one.

Actually..

...there is a way.

But would you accept it?

I don't know...

What is it?

There he is! Faster!

-This way!
-There he runs!

-Don't be crazy, Karategin!
-Catch him!

-Run faster!
-Hurry up!

I'm In trouble! Send someone
for me for the sake of glory!

Faster!

You two go that way! Faster!

Tax collector Karategin
and Atsiz Bey...

...raided the palace in the
daylight with the soldiers.

To enter the treasure room,
they threatened everyone.

My soldiers would never
do that without my order.

Mighty Vizier, isn't it obvious
that they did it with your orders?

Isn't it you who gave
Mighty Caliph two days...

...to carry his personal
treasure to your palace?

It's you who burned this palace.

If it were me, you would
be the first to see the torch.

Neither I nor my
men burned this place.

But I assure you that I'll be the
first to burn whoever planned this.

If Mighty Caliph hadn't resisted In time
when those looters attacked the treasure,

...we would be all wasted now.

-I'll cut off your lying tongue!
-Riza!

Idris, leave him.

Idris, leave him!

Idris!

They threatened us
with death just like this!

As they couldn't succeed, they
made their sl*ves burn the palace.

Shame!

You think you can rule
Egypt with those looters, huh?

Obviously, there is a mystery
that needs to be solved.

There is h* mystery.

There is an organized setup.

If there is a setup,

...why did your tax collector
run away, Mighty Vizier?

Cemsid!

Karategin, what's going on?

You are one and only! You
are great! Greatest of greats!

Who are you talking to?
Don't scare me, Karategin?

I asked my Tengri to send
someone for my trouble.

-And he's sent you, Cemsid!
-What?

Tell me properly. Who are
you running away from and why?

I'm In trouble. It's
a terrible situation.

-You need to hide me.
-What do you mean?

You are the head tax
collector! Pull yourself together!

-There he is! Catch him!
-Don't let him run away!

Go back!

Go back! I didn't burn It.

I say I didn't burn it! Go back!

I wish I had burned it!

Be careful about him! Careful!

Go back!

Stop!

What...

Karategin!

What have you done?

You're slandering my soldiers with the words
of a man who was both Dirgam's and Saver's dog.

Testimony of this trickster
Isn't valid in my land.

What about the testimonies of the
sl*ves who confessed their crimes?

Do their words mean
nothing either in your land?

You'll take me and Ibelin under
your protection. Do I get it right?

I'll get a paper written providing
commercial immunity for you and your people?

So you can trade freely In
both Al-quds and the ports.

This...

...will be perceived as treason.

They'll take it as Ibelin's
joining the Zengi State.

I don't know If it is
treason for the kingdom.

But with no doubt, it will be
loyalty to your people and principles.

Decide, Balian. There
are two ways ahead of you.

You'll either care about
Ibelin and your future...

...Or vanish with your people
under Amalrik's oppression.

After raiding the
caravan, Vizier's soldiers...

...said they were our masters and
we had to do whatever they said.

They said nobody in Egypt would be at ease
before the Caliph's palace was destroyed.

Get off! Get off!

I'm already walking!
Don't push me!

Get off! Stop pushing!

Well...

We shouldn't be
surprised about this.

If you make a bandit the tax collector,
he will attempt to steal the Caliph's treasure.

You slanderer!
You are the bandit!

-I will cut off your nose! Get off!
-Well...

What did they want from you?

That man gave us naphtha and
torches and told us to wait for his call.

That man? Which man? You?

When did you say that?

-Who said?
-Goodwill triggers the evil, they say.

Shame on you! We saved your
lives and you're doing this in return?

No more words are needed.

We have clear
evidence and testimonies.

Clearly, there is a setup!

My Vizier! Talk to my Vizier.

Qadi [judge] will decide.

Until then, these looters
will be held in the dungeon.

I will never let that happen.

Nobody can touch the men
under my command in Egypt!

You are under my
command, Vizier Salahuddin.

Remember this!

You're to follow my orders.

I obey only Sultan Nureddin!

I have to protect my fellow
soldiers and friends for his sake!

I will never leave them to you.

Mighty Vizier, the truth will
be revealed sooner or later.

But in this situation,
you should keep calm.

Otherwise, there will a huge
fire that even we can't extinguish.

What should I do, Fazil?
Just leave my men to them?

Guards!

Haven't we shed
enough blood for years?

We got united and peaceful after a
long time! Will we break apart again?

For Allah's sake, put
your swords down!

Say that to Mighty Vizier!

Obviously, we are in a
great setup, my Vizier.

Remember Saver's game.

If you shed blood now,
that will be better for them.

Although Caliph looks weak,
he is still respectable to people.

What should I do, Fazil?
Just surrender my men?

No surrender! Until
everything is revealed,

...they will be In custody
In the palace of Vizier.

I demand guarantee
from Vizier that...

...they won't run away like him.

Guarantee is
written in my warrant.

As long as judges
provide justice.

Put the swords down.

Put them down.

This paper is the
salvation of Ibelin, Marcus.

We can go back to
Jerusalem safely now.

Are you sure, my Count?

King Amalrik will
get much angrier.

He caused this. If he had supported
me, none of these would have happened.

If the king reaches out for Ibelin now,
he will find Sultan Nureddin against him.

This is It, your majesty.

Balian died as a true traitor
who was working for the enemy.

Both he and his
dreams burned to ashes.

I've never seen otherwise.
Rebelling results in serving the enemy.

Balian deserved
death long time ago.

You forced him
to do this, father.

If you had given him what was his,
he would have remained loyal to you.

His loyalty was tested.

And he failed.

You're too sensitive, Princess.

Unfortunately, Balian
caused his own death.

First Giyom, then Balian...

It seems you will leave a
bloody throne to Baldwin, father.

Sibylla.

Urfali.

Weren't you leading the sl*ves?

How did those men enter
Caliph's palace freely?

-You're right.
-Tell me what happened.

After we seized the caravan,
we took the sl*ves to a safe Inn.

You can't hold us here unjustly!
I want to see Vizier Salahuddin now!

Don't you understand
our language?

You'll be held here
until further notice.

You can't treat
traders like this.

Why are the sl*ves walking
freely and we're here?

Because they are free.

You are prisoners.

You can't both seize my
caravan and take me c*ptive?

You can't get away just because
you are traders. Stop the noise!

Don't disturb people anymore.

This is not fair! Release us!

-I will complain about you!
-Stay where you are, fancy trader!

Don't raise difficulties or I
will cut off your ornaments!

If Elyasa has returned,
It means there is a game.

He can solve the
knot, Qadi Fazil.

He must be
questioned immediately.

Yes, I will cut that
Elyasa's tongue off.

If you hadn't run away, perhaps
everyone would have been silenced as well.

What should I have done, my
Vizier? What should I have done?

I, Karategin...

...the treasurer and chief tax
collector, was accused of theft.

A plan was made against me.
What else could I have done?

You should have waited for us.

What's done is done.

Now we will focus
on how to fix it.

What will happen
to us, my Vizier?

Orderly, you will be imprisoned.

What? Imprisoned? My Vizier!

We were all there, weren't we?

That cursed Cevher
came and called us.

He said, "Come, take the
treasury.” And you also said it!

You ordered the treasury to be
moved to the Vizier's Palace, didn't you?

That Cevher came and told us to
take it. What was I supposed to do?

I gathered everyone
and went there.

I have no doubt
about your innocence...

...put it is clear
you were unaware.

Before going to
the Caliph's Palace..

...you should have consulted
me. Especially you running away...

It made things much
harder, Karategin.

Now, to reveal their plan...

...we must follow the procedure.

Otherwise, they will
use this as an excuse...

...and cause other fitnas.
-Yes my Vizier.

Yes my Vizier.

My Vizier...

My name is Kara [black].

But my face is Ak [white].

They played a game against me.

They slandered me.

I couldn't stand
It and I ran away.

I couldn't bear
how I fell for that...

-...cursed Cevher's plan.
-Don't worry.

Your innocence will be proven
soon and you will keep working.

Don't worry.

I will not find peace...

...until I strangle that
Cevher, my Vizier.

Your return has
strengthened me, Rakif.

Without you, none of
this would have happened.

We were raised under
your wings, my Caliph.

I owe a great
debt of gratitude...

...to Egypt and to you.

With your support, we
have taken the first step to...

...disgrace and
Isolate Salahuddin.

Now it's time..

...to destroy the Vizier's
reputation among the people.

Cevher, take your men
and go to the marketplace.

Spread the word that...

...the Vizier's soldiers...

...have gone so far as to
burn the Caliph's palace...

...and set their
eyes on his wealth.

Yes my Efendi..

By the way, we have started...

-...settling the Bedouins sent by Nizar into the city.
-Very good.

Cairo must now...

...boll from the bottom.

You are always getting
your feet on the ground, Rakif.

The people will see the newcomers
as oppressed victims seeking

refuge in your mercy from
the cruelty of the Crusaders.

While everyone
envies your mercy...

...when the time comes,
these refugees will act...

...Just like the sl*ves
who set the palace on fire.

Our next move...

... will be for...

...Al-Azhar Madrasa...

...which I know is a big
wound in your heart my Caliph.

Azhar...

...Is the foundation the Fatimid
state built upon its own creed.

Those who threaten its order...

...is willing to stir up a...

...hornet's nest.

Vizier Salahuddin...

...will pay a heavy
price for this.

The final blow...

...to Salahuddin will come
from his leaderless army.

There are still
soldiers loyal...

...to Shaver among
the Vizier's troops.

Informing them that
the winds have shifted...

...is your task, Cevher.

Gladly, my Efendi..

This will be a flawless
scheme from start to finish.

We don't have an axe.

Instead, we place
our worms into...

...the trunks of the trees.

Your victory in Egypt that you
gained by the Grace of Allah...

...has increased the
prosperity of the Islamic lands...

...and relieved the
heart of the Ummah.

Sultan Nureddin...

Our ears in Egypt...

...haven't heard our
names in khutbahs yet.

The allegiance of Vizier Salahuddin,
who has been appointed to Egypt...

...is It pledged to us, the
stronghold of Sunni Islam...

...Or to the Fatimi Caliph?

It Is essential for the unity of the ummah
that you provide a clear statement explaining..

...your Vizier's
position on this matter.

The Caliph..

...asks about
Salahuddin's allegiance.

The Abbasi Caliph has every
right to expect allegiance.

It Is clear that the Fatimi Caliph has
cooperated with the Crusaders, my Sultan.

Allah knows, the fire
in the Caliph's Palace...

...is a hidden sign that their
rule has come to an end.

It Is our duty...

...to make this
hidden sign evident.

For the establishment
of order...

...the strengthening
of Zengi power...

...and the
foundation of justice...

It is essential to have the khutbah delivered
In Egypt on behalf of the Abbasi Caliph.

May your decision be blessed for all the
Islamic world, especially Egypt, my Sultan.

Look at the state
we have fallen into.

The dungeon does not hurt me...

...but making our Vizier
bow down hurts me.

Brother...

This is the consequence
of taking collections...

...without the
Vizier's permission.

What is that?

What are you whispering
like mice between yourselves?

What are you talking about?

Are you talking about me??

Yes, I am. What will happen?

You are talking
about me, huh? Look!

You are talking to
the chief tax collector.

I am not the kind of man who can't go to
the toilet without the Vizier's permission.

I don't follow the
Vizier like a duck...

...saying "my vizier, my
vizier" everywhere. I take action.

I went to transfer the treasury
on the Vizier's command.

Did I commit an ill*gal
act, did I sin, what did I do?

The result of your stubbornness and
not asking for permission is this dungeon.

And as If that's not
enough, you ran away.

This is the consequence!
May it be blessed!

Yes, sure!

They accused me,
the chief tax collector!

What should I have done? Of course,
I ran. If it happens again, I'll run again.

I won't stop until I make them
pay for this. Do you understand?

I can't stop. Understand? You camel!
-Enough!

Stop it!

Don't test each other's patience.
-What? Why are you staring?

Why are you opening
your eyes like that?

Stop, stop Bozok!

Let him come! Let him come!

Don't hold me! Stop! Don't!

Let go, I'll tear you apart! Come
on, come on! Bozok, let me go!

Bozok, let go! I
will tear you apart!

Let go, alright, let go!

Well...

Calm down Karategin. Alright.

Go and tell him.
Archer. Go and tell him.

Tell him to calm down, pull
himself together. I'll tear him apart!

He doesn't know
me, tell him. Tell him.

He relies on his
size. Look at him.

I will slap him so hard with my
palm, half of it will be wasted.

Look at him!

It's clear that the Caliph
and Rakif are behind this.

But...

...without evidence,
we can't go after them.

Of course, they'll make a
mistake. It won't stop here.

We must learn their next move.

How will that happen?

We don't have enemies
on the b*ttlefield to fight.

Our enemy is two shadows
hiding behind the curtain.

Just like In a shadow play.

If we pull the curtain in the middle,
the real guilty ones will be revealed.

Is Elyasa one of them?

We will see.

You didn't mention the
sugar canes in the cave...

...where Balian
died, Count Chatillion.

Your Majesty, the
goods there were...

...burned and turned to
ashes along with Balian.

Didn't you know half of the
goods belonged to Merchant Rakif?

I knew, but...

Majesty, from Egypt.

The news from Cairo is good.

Merchant Rakif has already started shaking
Salahuddin's throne with his arrival.

Good.

Then the new Vizier
is about to face his end.

He wrote that he
would visit Jerusalem.

He wants to form an
alliance against Salahuddin.

We can take back Egypt...

...which we lost
on the b*ttlefield.

Cairo, you are the
mirror of your name.

Cairo the destroyer.

Even the problem of Cairo destroys
a man. But we will not give up.

We are aware of
the city's difficulties.

Let's deliver this khutbah, we
will have solved all the problems.

With Allah's permission, the division
within the Ummah will end, my Melik.

One caliph, one shadow.

If we can overthrow
Vizier Salahuddin...

...All-Quds and Damascus...

...will act to
place the person...

...they want on the throne.

We need to agree
on a powerful name...

...that will prevent
their intervention.

I have no doubt that you will
choose the most appropriate person.

My Caliph.

The new vizier...

...must be powerful...

...smart...

...be loyal to Egypt,
and most importantly...

...to Me.

There is no one...

...with these
qualities in Cairo.

Except for you, Rakif.

That's very kind
of you, my Caliph.

My Vizier.

This fate that turns
a sl*ve into a vizier...

Only God could be the
owner of such a story.

Finally, I surrendered.

Thanks to you, I am starting
to believe in God again.

A lot has changed
since that day.

But you have not changed.
You are still deceiving sl*ves.

I assure you, it is slander.

Since you prohibited fighting at the
feasts, we are just bringing workers.

Do you work with Rakif
only for trade-related things?

What else could it be?

-I know very well that you gave the order to
the sl*ves who set the palace on fire. -Never!

Merchants don't deal with such matters,
especially when they are suffering like this.

My Vizier, you have taken the sl*ves I
gathered with great effort over the months.

I was brought here before I
could understand anything.

I will not allow you to
send them to their deaths.

I will also not allow
you to work with Rakif.

My Vizier, how can we be involved
In the fire that broke out in the palace?

-Those sl*ves were under your control.
-Maes is right.

We have no
involvement in this matter.

We are miserable here.

For the sake of the
old days, release us.

Since you say we know each other,
don't put yourself in danger for Rakif.

Think carefully.

You will stay here...

...until the truth is revealed.

God is punishing me for the
days when I was away from him.

This can't be explained
in any other ways.

Mighty Vizier.

I don't know why you
seized the caravan, but...

...when I look at the view,

...I see workers
around remaining idle.

When I look at the view,

...I see people who got
saved from your oppression.

Oppression, huh?

At least, I don't make them get involved
In dirty business like your soldiers did.

Don't try to hide yourself
by covering your guilt.

Saver tried the same methods.

I'm used to the games of Egypt.

You're behind this setup.

You're responsible for the trade route and
the reputation of the traders in the city.

You can't stain me
without evidence.

You think you can do anything
and I keep my eyes closed for that?

Mighty Vizier.

I'm really sorry
not for myself...

...but Egypt.

My God.

I'm carrying Giyom's baby in my
belly and grief for Balian in my heart.

What's going on?

Forgive me If this is treason.

Balian?

Is this a dream?

I'm as real as your
tears, Princess.

Thank God!

It seems Lord Guy told us to
follow the princess for a reason.

Balian is alive.

But shortly, he's
going to really die.

Go let him know now.

I was deeply
afraid that I lost you.

I'm here. I'm here.

Balian!

Hide somewhere safe!

These people are being held here
for no valid reasons, Mighty Vizier.

On two unbiased complaints,

...you can easily blame a tradesman
who devoted his life to Egypt.

I don't want to say this, but...

Are you really so immature?

You see mercy as immaturity.

As you were the partner
of the ones before me,

...you're used to your
sins being covered.

You left those people to
death as they were sick!

Isn't this betraying
the humanity?

I said I'd improve the
conditions, Mighty Vizier, but...

...you decided hastily.

What will you promise
those people now?

Living freely and humanly.

If you say so,

...let's let them decide.

Freedom with no certainty?

Or sl*very where you
are fed under insurance?

Marcus!

Stop!

Your survival skills
are appreciated, Balian.

You should congratulate
God for this, Guy.

Let's see what our king
decides about you now.

I'm waiting for your
answer, Mighty Vizier.

It's your decision.

But I don't think
this is needed.

Accepted.

Let's ask them to decide.

I paid a fortune to
Elyasa for each of you.

I'm your lawful master.

But Mighty Vizier seized all of you
saying a terrible future awaits you.

Now he promises you freedom.

As I said earlier,
I promise you...

...a roof under you can stay and income
with which you can feed yourselves.

It's up to you.

Your former master
Is trying to delude you.

But you should know this. In the fields where he'll
make you work, people are in terrible conditions.

Don't think I brought you here
to negotiate with the traders.

I just want to stop the
oppression that you'll have to face.

I'd like to offer each of you a
humanly life where you will be free.

Egypt got burned down.
We're reconstructing the city.

And we need workers everywhere.

And I intend to make you work
for the state with some salary.

But I need some time to
provide the necessary conditions.

It means you will have
to be patient for a while.

Well... Whoever
slanders me will be ruined!

I'm strong.

I'm powerful too.

Everybody knows
how strong I I am.

Everybody knows how
strong I am while fighting!

I'm a rock!

What am I?

Sure, a rock.

I'm a rock! A rock!

Wind can only dust me!

Sateen never keeps hair on it!

Enough, Karategin.

Take this.

Eat some food.

- I feel dizzy.
-I can't stop, archer! I can't!

Why?

Whenever I remember Cevher's
face, I feel suffocated here!

They slandered a
head tax collector...

...like me, archer.

I can't wait.

I can't wait for revenge!

Trust our Vizier.

-He will acquit us.
-Well...

Another one can't
take your own revenge.

I will handle my own matter.

Go ahead if you can.
What can you even do?

Stop nagging here.

Archer.

-Did he say that to me?
-No.

Did he say that to me??

-No, he didn't.
-Don't be afraid. Say it.

Tell me. Did he say that to me?

I'm being nice to people here. I don't
mess with him, but he messes with me.

You see that, right?

-Did you say that to me, camel's nail?
-Yes, I did.

-So what?
-Look at me!

Well...

I don't clearly remember whether
you ordered to burn the palace or not...

I have some doubts...
I already suspect you.

Don't drive me mad or I
will choke you to death!

Stop that for Allah's sake!

We're all exhausted here!

You're all exhausted? Exhausted?

We'll rot in this dungeon!

We don't know
when we will get out.

And you all care
about your stomachs!

Like we're in the
Inn! Look at them!

He's been eating
since we came here!

Give me patience, my Allah.

Look at me, you dwarf
dark fox! I will eat you alive!

I will eat you alive! Did you
set your eyes on my food?

I'm not watching your food!

Eat! Eat while you can!

Look at him! He ate everything.

We're in the dungeon! He
should have no appetite...

...but he can't stop eating!

Eat!

The whole Egypt can't feed you!

Give me patience,
my Allah. Brothers...

-I can't contain myself.
-Stop that.

Eat! Eat me as well!

Eat everything you find.

He's feeding his beard too!

Well...

In advance...

...Or on credit.

Just hike the world
and the afterlife.

To reach divine peace, ignore
the deceiving in advance...

...and tend to the
permanent and humanly.

You will have some difficulties at
first but in the end it will be great.

It's your choice now.

Forgive us, Mighty Vizier.

They preferred
the one in advance.

I seek mercy from you
in the name of them.

From now on, I'm at your
service with my life and blood.

Actually, what you promised
has happened, Mighty Vizier.

You offered the sl*ves
freedom to make decisions.

And they chose sl*very again.

People always react like this
when you approach them with mercy.

One drop of blood.

A thousand concerns.

We believed that there would
be peace in Egypt finally, but...

They attempted to burn
Mighty Caliph's palace!

That's unacceptable!
They must be crazy!

-How could they do that to Caliph?
-You're right.

Whoever did this
will lose their heads!

-Wait a second...
-They said Vizier's men did it.

-But I don't know what to believe.
-Well... It's not easy. He's still new here.

It's not easy to maintain order.

You know It better than I do.

Well... Whoever caused this
should be found immediately.

-InshaAllah.
-InshaAllah.

Think of the good
and good will happen.

-InshaAllah.
-Good.

The seeds I sowed In the
market have started growing.

Now it's time for
Vizier's soldiers.

Mighty Vizier.

-Mighty Vizier?
-What is the matter, Qadi Fazil?

One of the spies I
placed among Bedouins...

...sent terrible news.

They planted lots of expl*sives
somewhere outside Cairo.

And they will transport
them to other parts of Cairo.

They are going to burn Cairo.

This situation Is more
terrible than we thought, Fazil.

I will go personally check it out. We need
to intervene before they reach the city.

Halil, prepare the horses.

You said you'd visit the
dungeon. They are waiting for you.

I'll do that when I return,
InshaAllah. This is an urgent matter.

As you order, my Vizier.

Just say it quickly, Cevher.

If Mighty Vizier knows that we
talk to you, this will be our death.

Alright. I will cut it short.

Vizier's army commander and his beys
In important positions are in the dungeon.

So?

Salahuddin will be
overthrown soon.

With your help, of course.

I know you are still
loyal to Vizier Saver.

We will take action with
Mighty Caliph's order.

Mighty Caliph,
Salahuddin has left Cairo.

Good.

Do away with his men
before Salahuddin comes back.

Go!

And read Qadi's
decision to their faces!

Let's see what Salahuddin will do
when he's back and can't find his men.

There is a chest
here, Mighty Vizier.

Open It.

He's the man who
brought the note to me.

Obviously, he got exposed.

May Allah accept his martyrdom.

Aameen.

Where did they
take the expl*sives?

Maybe, they are
already in the city.

Surround them!

It's time for you to be buried like
the spies you placed among us!

Attack!

We made a good move by bringing
the expl*sives here, my Efendi..

If we hadn't noticed that traitor Yasir, we
would have lost them to the Vizier by now.

Will we take action, my Efendi?

It's time for our battle
cries to echo in Cairo.

Everyone will see that
the Caliph is not alone.

Where do we start, my Efendi?

From where Salahuddin began.

From the Al-Azhar madrasa.

-Take care of the wounded immediately.
-Come on, take care of the wounded ones.

So you accepted
my invitation, Yaruki.

It is not your invitation I accepted.
I obeyed the Sultan's command.

The matter between us remains.

We can't let it go any further.

If there's something I need to do, I came
to let you know I'm with you, Salahuddin.

Welcome, Yaruki.

Why did they bring us here?
Why did they take us to the square?

-Has Vizier Salahuddin come?
-Move! Move!

Why did you bring us here?

Wait! Why did you take us out here?
What have we come to the square for?

We'll understand now.

Head Commander Atsiz Bey.

Commander of the
Cavalry Unit, Urfali Bey.

Chief of the Palace
Archers, Bozok Bey.

Commander of the
Infantry Unit, Idris Bey.

Commander of the Palace
Guards, Ibrahim Bey.

Finally...

The Palace Treasurer and
Chief Tax Collector, Karategin.

It has been decided that,
for disrupting the city's order...

...attempting to
k*ll the Caliph...

...and attempting to
seize the treasury...

...they are exiled from Egypt.

The court has not
been established yet.

When did you make this decision?

They made the decision
when we entered the dungeon.

Does Vizier Salahuddin
know about this?

Qadis are not required to inform
anyone when securing the justice.

This is unacceptable. Vizier
Salahuddin will never allow this.

Wait!

You cannot move us an inch
before Vizier Salahuddin arrives.

This is not justice,
It is Injustice.

Watch your tongue.

Otherwise, you'll not be
exiled, your head will be gone.

I'll cut your tongue off. Come
here. I'll cut your tongue off.

In addition to the judgment...

...you also have the
penalty of public display.

This is the price
for the crime...

...you committed
against the Caliph...

...the true ruler of Egypt's Fatimi State,
whom these people hold dear. -Traitors!

Move!

Stop! Stop! Alright, alright!

My Allah

We cannot find peace.
Show mercy to us!

As you can understand, Salahuddin fell into his
own well while trying to send us away from Egypt.

You know, he's
familiar with the well.

As far as we know, Vizier Salahuddin
Is also used to getting out of the well.

My chief advisor, William...

...is very sensitive when it comes
to underestimating our enemies.

Of course, when it comes to
Salahuddin, I cannot disagree with you.

Soon, Salahuddin will
see he cannot control Cairo.

And we...

...will ask for your military support
when we deal the final blow to him.

As the Kingdom of Jerusalem,
our support is with you.

Of course...

...I have no doubt that our trade will
continue stronger than before, Merchant Rakif.

Speaking of trade...

...Count Chatillion, I had
offered you my friendship.

Being my friend comes
with certain responsibilities.

I hope you won't repeat the mistake
you made with the sugar cane matter.

Look at them! Look!

Look at that grandfather! I
saw you, grandfather! Look!

Look at that grandfather! I'll
make you eat this, grandfather!

Alright, we're exiled, but
where are they taking us?

There's something behind this. If our
Vizier knew, he wouldn't leave us alone.

It will be revealed!

The truth will be revealed!

It would be more accurate if you extended
the tail of this letter. -Alright.

My Hodja, with your permission, let me continue
with the classification of the ones we brought.

Your lessons are
over. Now it's our turn.

Let him go.

-When this place explodes, everyone in
Cairo will gather here anyway. -Stop!

What are you doing?

We will correct the mistake Vizier
Salahuddin made, Hodja Efendi..

Get up!

If they brought the
expl*sives into the city...

...our task is very difficult, Vizier Salahuddin.
-Let everyone know and be alert

Halil, control the entrances and exits of the
city. Start searching in the central area as well.

Yes, my Vizier.

My Vizier.

They exiled Karategin,
Atsiz, and the others.

How were they
exiled? By what order?

They came while you were out of
Cairo and read the orders to their faces.

Then they quickly pushed them through
the crowd and expelled them from the city.

This is part of their plan.

They waited for the time when I wasn't in the city
because they knew I would not allow this. They won't stop.

What do you have
In mind, my Vizier?

We will go and take them from
their hands. Quickly, to the horses.

My Vizier! My Vizier!

Bedouins attacked the Al-Azhar Madrasa.
They took my Hodja and friends as hostages.

They won't stop. They have
surrounded Cairo from all sides.

If you allow me, I will go after
our valiants with my warriors.

You go to the madrasa.

EyvAllah, Yaruki, thank you.

Count Chatillion's negligence in
the sugarcane issue is evident...

...but he punished the one who committed this
Insolence, the so-called Count of Ibelin, Balian...

...as he deserved.

Of course, Your Majesty.

Please forgive me for
Interrupting, Your Majesty.

But I have brought
someone to you.

Soldier!

Balian..

It was clear that things
would reach this point.

Zengi's Vizier has crossed
that line long ago, very long ago!

You're right!

Something must be done!

Whoever suffers here today, the
one responsible is Vizier Salahuddin.

What are you doing?

Release the mudarris and his
students immediately. Let's talk.

There is nothing to talk about, Vizier.
There is no need for meaningless words.

What do you want?

Leave the throne of the vizier. Hand Egypt
back to its rightful owner, the Caliph.

My King, I brought him to you thinking that
you would personally give him the punishment.

God, please.

I had warned you, Balian.

I had given you an
opportunity to go to Europe.

Don't be so hasty In
punishing me, King Amalrik.

Who will stop me from sending
you straight to hell here, tell me?

If you allow me.

If anything happens to me or
anyone from Ibelin, prepare for w*r.

I am the rightful ruler of this city as the
deputy of the mighty Sultan Nureddin.

Is that so? Then tell me...

Why are the mudarris you
placed here in my hands?

It won't take long, don't worry.

When I'm done with you, those hands
will never harm anyone innocent again.

This is betrayal.

While you had brothers on our lands, did you
go and make an agreement with our enemies?

My brothers on my land have attempted to take
the title of count, which is rightfully mine.

They prohibited me from trade
and wanted to starve my people.

What I did is not treason.
You forced me into this.

How did you escape
from that cave?

I admire your courage as the
owner of the burned sugar canes.

However, I must warn
you about something.

Don't trust that Sultan
Nureddin Zengi too much.

If no one else has any warnings,
I want to return to my lands, to Ibelin.

My King...

Don't.

From now on, you can't even give
an order to a fly, Vizier Salahuddin.

Ruling only belongs to Allah.

Then let's see
what His decision is.

Get out! Now! Hurry!

Go there.
-My students. They're inside, my Vizier.

-Don't worry, we'll take them as well.
-Thank you.

Get well soon. Get well soon.

The madrasa will
explode! Retreat! Now!

Fazil, go to a safe place.
-Salahuddin. -Go!

My Vizier.

The attack has started
at Al-Azhar, my Caliph.

Everything goes as planned.

Everyone will see that the hands reaching
out to the Fatimi State will be broken.

Mighty Vizier, are you alright?

By looking at my eyes, Fazil...
They almost destroyed Al-Azhar.

Tell soldiers to take the expl*sives
and come to Caliph's palace quickly.

Soldiers.

Let's take you somewhere safe.

Will it always be
like this, Salahuddin?

When will this chaos stop?

Everything will be alright
soon. Don't worry. Come on.

Where are you taking us?

We need to know
where we will be exiled.

-Speak!
-Well... Soldier! Stop, soldier!

I need to pee!

I'm almost suffocated
here! Stop, soldier!

-We can't stop. We have orders.
-Stand still.

Look at this! Is this goat?

Do you carry a goat on
your back? Look at this!

The plant you don't want
grows under your nose!

But this isn't a
plant but a tree!

-A pine tree!
-Karategin.

Keep silent, Karategin.

-You've been nagging since the night!
-Soldier!

Who am I talking
to? I will pee here!

I will pee here now!

-We can't stop. We have orders.
-Fine. I'm peeing here.

Your choice. I'm peeing here.

-Stop! Stop It!
-Stop!

-Thank commander for this.
-Alright. Open it. Come on.

Take me out. Take me out.

Go pee over
there or I'll k*ll you.

Help me. I can't jump. Carry me.

Come on, carry me.

Pull me. Get me
up. Carry, carry!

-Carry!
-Come on, Karategin! Go pee!

Should I go like
this? Just untie me.

NO.

-Stop. Come on, do It fast.
-Where?

Pee here? You want to
pee together? Turn around!

Protect the carriage!
Don't let them run away!

My Albiz!

Come on, open
It. Open It, Albiz.

Draw back!

Sorry, beys!

It's our revenge! Don't worry!

Karategin!

-You fox!
-Draw back!

I will eat you. I will eat you!

-They're running off. We need to follow.
-Only one Is gone.

If others run away too,
we can't explain that.

We should continue!

-Come on!
-Let's go! Faster!

Didn't they teach the manners
in Damascus, Vizier Salahuddin?

How could you enter
like this to see Caliph?

How could you get these put
where scholars and students were...

...and attempt to k*ll people?

I was sorry to hear
what happened.

Were you also sorry
to exile my men...

...by making use of my absence?

Qadis made a
decision about them.

But you should
know this, Salahuddin.

Your men became
victims of your ambition.

I'm afraid your ambition's
fire will burn the whole Egypt.

The fire has spread
all around you.

What happened in
Al-Azhar proves that.

Did you think the ones
who are loyal to us...

...would keep silent against
what you did against Fatimis?

I know who did it.

And you will see
how it hits you back.

My Emir.

Those are Caliph's soldiers.

And the others are
from Karategin's tribe.

Did they save Karategin?

Even if Karategin
has been saved,

...the number of the dead bodies
shows that the rest are still prisoners.

This way leads to Kerek.

It seems they have
taken the alps there.

Let's go.

As the first result of our
agreement with the Zengis,

...the basic needs of people
have been met, my Count.

Good.

We're doing all this to
be worthy of their trust.

The matter of Kerek...

Complete our
preparations to go to Kerek.

I need to fulfill the terms of our
agreement with Sultan Nureddin.

What is your plan, my Count?

-While Chatillon is there...
-While we have a warrant from Sultan Nureddin,

...Chatillon can't
do anything crazy.

And we need Countess Mila
to get the information we want.

My Bey.

They must be looking
for you everywhere.

It's too dangerous for
you to enter the city.

Let's go back to our tribe
until things calm down.

A wolf likes foggy
weather, Albiz.

It's not time to run away...

...but make them pay for
the slander they put on me!

Let's go.

Cairo smells like
Zengi, Baybora!

It will be even better, my Bey!

EvelAllah.

As Melik Mevdud is here too,

...things will get
more complicated.

They are taking our men
Inside through the gates.

It's Impossible
for us to get inside.

-We can't leave them to Chatillon.
-What will we do?

We will figure
something out, Bahadir.

Figure something out.

Finally, our guests are here.

We should take care of Tradesman
Rakif's gifts better than the sugarcane.

Red devil.

Brothers, our exile
place is obvious.

I knew this red devil
would come out of this.

Calm down, calm down.

Welcome to the castle of Kerek!

The house of Count Chatillon!

I will host you very
well. Have no doubts!

Don't you have a weapon?

Here It is.

Cevher.

You jump off once. You
jump off twice... But in the third,

...you are in my hands.

You demon! You ominous rat!

You shouldn't have
set up that game.

Now what? Look.

You are dead now, Cevher.

Aren't those Salahuddin's men?

This is the just the
beginning, my red star.

After his men, I will chain Salahuddin
too and put him under your feet.

Go on!

Well... They have no
limits for evil actions.

-What should be done...
-What should be done...

...is getting a khutbah recited in the name of
Abbasid Caliph with Sultan Nureddin's permission.

-There is no point in delaying it.
-This...

...is like nothing else
that has been done so far.

It will affect not only Egypt...

...but also the
whole Islam world.

I wanted to
handle it in peace...

...but they forced
me to do this.

Sultan Nureddin sent Mevdud
here for a reason, Rakif.

He clearly sent him to get a
khutbah recited, Mighty Caliph.

I knew this would happen
after the incident in Al-Azhar.

If we had managed to destroy
the place with the people inside,

...things would
be different now.

-Speak.
-Mighty Caliph.

-They left this at the gate.
-Open it.

Salahuddin!

I don't think this
Is Vizier's doing.

Tradesman Rakif might
be right, Mighty Caliph.

According to the message that came from your soldiers
that we assigned to take Vizier's men to Kerek,

...head tax collector
Karategin escaped.

-It means it was him who did this.
-Don't worry.

His impertinence
actions will be returned.

Tell your men in the city to take
action in the morning tomorrow.

They will march to
Vizier's palace directly.

It's time to handle this
matter permanently.

Whoever helps and
supports Salahuddin...

...will burn to ashes.

Good, Albiz. This is good.

My Bey, what if they blame
Vizier Salahuddin for Cevher too?

What can I do, Albiz?

Whatever I do, they
blame Salahuddin.

Everybody is ready to
put the blame on him.

Even if chickens went extinct,
they would blame Salahuddin.

What can I do? He deserved this.

Let them blame Salahuddin
again. One more one less.

How long will we stay here?

Until we take care of that demon
called Rakif who called me a thief.

Yaruki is a great tracker.

-He will definitely find a trail about the alps.
-InshaAllah, he will.

If my beys are
harmed even slightly,

...I wouldn't care about
my throne or Caliph.

I will crush them all.

The khutbah to be recited In
the name of Abbasid Caliph...

...will be a good response.

Who will recite the
khutbah, Salahuddin?

Our scholar who was threatened
with a knife on his neck today.

He deserved the glory by
defending at the cost of his life.

How dare you come inside
even without knocking?

Because I'm your husband in the
presence of God, Countess Mila.

Mila.

Look. Look.

You are so beautiful.

Your beauty...

...can make a man
do impertinent things.

Get out. I will sleep.

Yes, we should sleep.

That's why I'm here.

Well... I've had
such a tiring day...

...that I need to
sleep immediately.

I said get out!

I think you should be aware
of the situation, Countess Mila.

Because you are talking
to your husband right now.

If you come closer
one more step,

...my bed will be stained
with your dirty blood!

Alright.

My red star...

Should I shorten my beard a bit?

What do you think?

As you wish, Countess...

But for now!

Look at the view.

Don't feel confident because
you are the host here.

One day, the place where you
are the host will become your grave.

I will bury you
here, red infidel.

Know this.

Will you do that?

Or your Vizier?

I am not seeing a Vizier
here. Do you see one, Enok?

We don't need our Vizier
for a dastard like you!

Untie our hands! Then
we will handle this!

Look, the guests...

...Obey the rules of the house
that they are hosted In, right??

I think this is
enough conversation.

Let's get to work now.

Come on. Come.

My Vizier.
-What happened, Halil?

The people have gathered as a
large crowd at the palace gates.

What do they want?

Forgive me.

I cannot say it.

What do they want, I said.

Forgive me.

They say they want
the Vizier's head.

Wait, Salahuddin.

How can I wait, Melik Mevdud?

-Didn't you hear him?
- I did.

That's why I say, don't even show your
head from the window to these rebels.

Melik Mevdud is right.

For your safety, this is
more appropriate, my Vizier.

We will show them
what it costs to...

...standing at the palace gates
and asking for the Vizier's head.

Don't stop! It's time to attack!

Place the palace soldiers.

They will maintain order
under any circumstances.

EyvAllah my Melik.

Where will we
position our units?

Use them to guard the inner circle. They
will not let anyone through. -Soldiers!

Let's go!

Let's go!

The seeds of fit ha sown by the Caliph have grown like
an invasive vine and wrapped around the palace gates.

That vine's root is In
the Caliph's Palace.

We will destroy its roots, InshaAllah.
-EvelAllah.

Do you hear the sounds, Rakif?

It's time to accustom our ears
to the victory cries, my Caliph.

They will not be able
to deliver that khutbah.

Push the crowd back! Come on!

Where are you going?
Didn't you hear the order?

We are soldiers of Vizier Shaver. If he's
gone, we will stand with the Caliph. Let's go!

Didn't you hear the order?

Traitors!

Even his soldiers
abandoned the Vizier!

This is the sign of
victory. Come on!

Soldiers are changing
sides, my Melik. I am afraid...

Let them go Baybora.

We need the devoted
ones, not the sold ones.

Let's go!

I thought about the
situation throughout the night.

We have no choice but to
attack the castle from the north.

As you order, my Emir.

But we are very
few. Such an attack...

If you have another
solution In mind, say it.

If we go to Cairo
to ask for support...

We will handle this ourselves.

I will take Salahuddin's
Alps and return to Cairo.

Prepare the warriors.

My Emir, someone's coming.

It's Balian.

Salahuddin's Christian friend.

They are entering the castle.

We'll wait.

Let's see if he can prove worthy of the
throne he sits on thanks to Salahuddin.

Traitor!

The Vizier's head is at the
edge of our spear! Come on!

Their numbers are
increasing, my Melik!

On the path we've taken for
Haqq, Haqq will protect us, Baybora!

When has He ever withheld
His blessings that He would how?

For Vizier Salahuddin!

Merchant Rakif's
treachery was revealed!

We have come to fight
for Vizier Salahuddin!

For Vizier Salahuddin!

Damned poor sl*ves!

Those men...

It's my Allah's help! It's
my Allah's help, Baybora!

What do we owe this visit
of yours, Count Balian?

To our common enemies,
especially Chatillion.

If Salahuddin had kept his promise,
we wouldn't have these problems now.

I have witnessed many times how faithful
Vizier Salahuddin is to his word, Countess.

I am sure he would never have allowed Chatillion
to marry you if he didn't have a reason.

What can I do for you, Balian?

I made an agreement
with Sultan Nureddin.

I need every bit of information
that could weaken Chatillion.

I don't understand.

Do you want to cooperate with the
Muslims and hand over my castle to them?

See the truth, Countess.

Amalrik has already
sacrificed you.

And unfortunately, your castle
is no longer yours but Chatillion's.

At least for now, neither you in Kerek nor I in
Ibelin can survive without Sultan Nureddin's support.

So, any information you provide
will be a step to get rid of Chatillion.

Think carefully.

Where were we?

Come on.

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Shout! Louder!

I am waiting for you to beg me!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest! -Louder!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Bravo Atsiz...

Allah is the Greatest!
Allah is the Greatest!

They keep making
moves. But we will not stop.

We will deliver that khutbah.

If we take a step back, we will
have encouraged the Caliph.

We cannot let this happen.

The Caliph always attends
Friday prayers with a ceremony.

Due to recent events,
the people are worried.

I am worried that something
bad might happen again.

Then it Is necessary to make a
change in the Friday ceremony.

He ruined all our moves. I am losing
the things in my hands day by day!

Sometimes, one person can do
what large crowds cannot, my Caliph.

Vizier Salahuddin's insistence on
delivering the khutbah will bring his end.

My Efendi..

Tell me.

We found where Karategin,
the k*ller of Cevher, is hiding.

Blessings!

Vizier Salahuddin and Melik Mevdud managed to
stop the rebels marching in front of the palace.

Well well!

That throne and Vizierate...

Everyone attacks from all sides.

Rakif on one side,
the Caliph on the other.

As I said, my Bey, their
plans and betrayals never end.

They will end.
They will end, Albiz.

So the slander thrown at us
was the first step of their plan.

It is boiling like water
in a cauldron outside!

And I am sitting here like a
Diwan. What am I doing here?

Please, my Bey.

The fire of that cauldron
will keep burning. Please...

The caliph's soldiers are
looking for you out there.

Be patient.

Congratulations on
your counts hip, Balian.

What are you doing here, Yaruki?

I am seeking a solution for the troubles of Vizier
Salahuddin, thanks to whom you became a Count.

Then we share the same trouble.

Aren't you here to
save Salahuddin's men?

How do you know about this?

What happened,
Vizier Salahuddin?

What is the reason of
your visit on this Friday?

I came to inform you that
you cannot attend the prayer.

Why?

As the Vizier of Egypt, I have indefinitely
prohibited you from leaving the palace for worship.

Who are you to forbid me from performing
the prayer Allah made obligatory for me?

In Figh, Friday prayers depend
on the state's permission.

You left me no
choice to prevent fitna.

I will never forget this...

...captivity that you made me experience
on my own land, Vizier Salahuddin.

I will obey the decree.

But know that...

...It Is not out
of fear of you...

...but for the
well-being of my people.

You can have your own reasons,
but this is the right thing to do.

The Muslims in Egypt need
peace, and you cannot prevent this.

You understood
everything well, didn't you?

Don't worry, my Efendi..

They cannot save
him from my hands.

Countess Mila said Salahuddin's
men were In the dungeon In their castle.

She's the only one
to help them get out.

Isn't Mila Chatillon's wife?

Why would we trust her words?

Mila was forced
to marry Chatillon.

Now she wants to get rid
of him so she will help us.

If you betray me in
this, remember this.

I'm not merciful like
Vizier Salahuddin.

Don't worry. I will remember.

How will we get inside?

There are tunnels under Kerek.

One of them leads to the
most hidden dungeon...

...where Salahuddin's
men are being held.

Where is the entrance exactly?

Listen to me carefully now.

All praise is due to Allah.

We salute the last of the
prophets, Hadhrat Muhammad...

May Allah's blessing
and peace be upon him.

...Who is the leader of mujahids
and his family and followers!

O believers!

In the name of Emiriu'l-Mi'minin, el-Mustazi bi Emr
I'l-Lah who is the Abbasid Caliph, we shall have jihad!

Protect the vizier!

My Melik!

My Melik!

My Bey! My Melik!

Open your eyes!

-Melik Mevdud.
-Open your eyes.

Latif, do something.

My Melik! Open your eyes!

My Bey!

Open your eyes!

-Who sent you?
-Tradesman Rakif says hello.

The Islam world
has only one Caliph.

He says both you and Sultan
Nureddin should look what happened to...

...his brother who he sent to get the khutbah
recited and you should watch your steps.

Open your eyes!

Where is that dastard?

Salahuddin will
come for me. He must.

If Salahuddin
dies in the mosque,

...this will make the Zengis
heroes in the eyes of people.

Salahuddin must be
k*lled by Crusaders.

Collecting so many
enemies will bring death fast.

You will gallop to
your death, Salahuddin.

Everybody you trust
will vanish one by one.

A lonely and silent death
will be waiting for you.

-My Vizier, we have caught him finally.
-He can't run off this time.

-We should be careful, my Vizier.
-It's too late for that, Halil.

I need to take his
arrogant head now.

Right in time.

Come to me, Salahuddin.

The army of Al-quds who came
to help you can't save you from me!

Crusaders...

Or Bedouins or Egyptians...

I have all the
armies of the world.

You lost because you
couldn't comprehend this.

Lord Guy, loyal ally of Egypt.

I'm grateful that
you are with us.

I'm grateful to you.

This is a historic day.

Like Israelite's who
got driven out of Egypt,

...this is the end
for you, Salahuddin.

Only Allah knows whether
I it's the end of the beginning.

Allah gives both life and death.

He will either let me
be a martyr or help me!

And victory comes only from
Allah, the Almighty, All-Wise.

They will leave us
between two fires, my Vizier.

This is not fire,
but Allah's grace.

Allah heard us, my Vizier.

I swear to Allah who supported
Moses with Ha run and Jesus with John...

...Salahuddin
Ayyubi is not alone!

I'm Boru, son of
Necmeddin Ayyub!

I'm here to shed blood of
those who want to k*ll my brother!
