[bunniefuu]

You fool!

Are you denying everything...

...when all this
blood has been shed?

Sultan Mehmed...

You are making a big
mistake. I am innocent.

I am innocent.

Please, let me explain. Please.

Look.

I am really innocent.

I can prove you
that I am innocent!

Stay alive cursed one!

You will not die easily, Platon.

Take this demon away.

First, he will be questioned,
then, he will be tried.

Platon can't have
done this alone.

Find out what happened.

Do your own investigation.

As our glorious Hakan orders.

Enough of being sad, Bali Bey.

Dogan Agha...

...will find our daughter
Fatma for sure.

Saltuk...

...wanted something
for the first time.

And look...

...what happened when he
wanted one single thing, Ali Bey.

His father was martyred
next to you, wasn't he?

I brought his blessed body
to his village on my back.

Saltuk was a child then.

He met us at the
entrance of the village.

Without knowing that the martyr
on my back was his father...

"" Bali Bey.

You used to come back with my father. Why
did you come back alone now?" He asked.

I could not save
his father but...

...protecting Saltuk...
- My Bey...

My Bey..

What happened Mustafa?

My Saltuk Bey...

They k*lled my
Saltuk Bey, my Bey.

What do you mean, Mustafa?

What did you just say?

What do you mean
they k*lled him?!

Who k*lled Saltuk?

Mustafa!

He endured all
that pain, Mustafa!

He didn't die in w*r,
did he die in peace?

Did he die in peace, Mustafa?!

Tell me you are lying
Mustafa! Tell me you are lying!

Bali Bey! Bali Bey!

Apparently they have laid
treacherous traps on our way.

Apparently, another Malkocoglu
has joined the martyrs' caravan.

We need to be strong.

My daughter...?

My Fatima...

Are you alright?

My daughter is gone...

My heart is gone...

Where is she?

I want to see her.

Take me to my daughter.

Any news, my Agha?

Not yet. Let's see, we will hear soon
inshaallah. We are waiting.

Bismillah.

Dogan Agha is coming.

We must have received news.

My Saltuk brother acted wisely
and made the right choice...

...by choosing me
as his best man.

Now I will have the drums played
for forty days and forty nights.

I will plan the best wedding.

What happened, Dogan Agha?

Satilmis.

Saltuk.

Did he get her back?

Is he waiting for me?

He can't do anything without me.

Listen here, Satilmis.

What happened, Dogan
Agha? Don't make me worried.

Saltuk..

...and Fatima..

...have become martyrs.

This is not the place
for jokes, Dogan Agha.

Where is that big man?

He should prepare for his
wedding instead of making fun of me.

Satilmis.

We're supposed to give him the sherbet
and congratulate him, Dogan Agha.

Satilmis.

Saltuk has become a martyr.

Don't do this.

You don't do this, Dogan Agha.

He was going to come to my
house in kastamonu after this.

- He was going to..
- Saltuk has become a martyr, Satilmis.

He has become a martyr.

Dogan Agha.

My brother.

My brother!

Where did my brother go!

Where did you go!

Now I'm done too!

I'm done!

How can that happen, Dogan Agha?

How can my brother go?

How can he go?

Saltuk!

Brother!

My brother!

Brother.

Does his mother know?

She doesn't.

I will go and tell her now.

I'll tell her.

I'll tell her that I couldn't
protect my brother.

Here is my heart.

I'll tell her to
take this instead.

I'll tell her, Dogan Agha.

I'll tell her.

How pretty they are.

I made these myself
for my daughter Fatima.

You are very talented.

And Saltuk's father gave
this to me during our wedding.

How pretty.

My orphan child.

If only his father was
here to see his wedding.

If only.

Come, son.

Is my daughter found yet?

Mother.

They found my brother Saltuk..

...and my sister Fatima.

Don't say that, son.

I can't even say it to myself,
how should I say it to you, mother?

My Allah took the ones
he loves to his side early.

My brother Saltuk..

...and my sister Fatima.

My son!

My son!

My son, my Valiant!

My dear!

Hold on!

Stop! What are you doing?

I am under Sultan
Mehmed's protection.

You're making a mistake.

Mistake?

You and Platon made the
mistake by betraying the Sultan.

What betrayal?

What do you want from me?

Notaras.

Speak! Who helped you
in k*lling Fatima and Saltuk!

Fatima?

Notaras!

Cut the show.

That is slander.

You also know that I saved..

...Fatima and
Saltuk's lives before.

If I wanted them dead, would
I have waited until today?

Stop with the lies.

Stop with the lies.

If you are on one side of the dagger,
Platon must be on the other side.

If you have something
to do with this..

I already told you, Candarli.

However..

...if you want to take revenge
because I had Sultan..

...put you on a test by force..

...it's your call.

k*ll the justice.

Have your revenge.

Maybe your heart will cool off.

If it was up to me, I would have
you hung and rip your heart out..

...however, Sultan will think
that I am making it personal.

This ring belonged to Platon.

It has the mysterious scale.

I know that you are
somewhere on this scale.

Wait for my next visit.

My Bey, my brother
does not fit into the coffin.

He does not, my Valiant.

Bring the four-armed.

Do you want me to
clean the blood-stain, sir?

Blood.

Why do humans
belittle blood as a stain?

Blood and sword is the
start and the end of honor.

It is not possible
to clean this city..

...before washing it down..

...with Turks' blood completely.

However, now, let us honor
the soul of our first victim..

...with wine and bread.

To your health, Platon!

Master, do not bother.

Allow me to do
the funeral prayer.

I spoke in many sheikh funerals.

I gave consolation
to many families.

However..

...now it is our destiny to
be the father of a martyr.

May Allah never
let our banner falter.

May our homeland live long.

Aameen.

My daughter Fatima.

My son, Saltuk.

They grew up with this cause..

...and gave their lives.

The test of sacrificing their
lives was presented to them.

And the test of standing
strong against this pain..

...was presented to us.

They..

...passed their test.

Now, it is our turn.

This..

...is a burden that
is more difficult..

...and heavier.

However..

.Alhamdulillah, our faith
is stronger than our test.

May our rabb help us all.

Aameen.

Please.

Let us start with the prayer
of our daughter Fatima.

They only taught
you how to eat fish.

But I will teach you
how to catch fish.

Alright.

Tomorrow we will go to
the Bosphorus together.

Thank you, sister.

Come, come, sit down here too.

Couldn't you teach your husband Hristo that
a family must sit at the table together?

Where is he? Why isn't he here?

Four Turks were
k*lled in the city.

He was going to the
funeral, that's why. Come on.

It seems your husband gets along
very well with the ones who took his hand.

You don't think the
same way, right?

Brother...

Is there something
you want to tell me?

After you came to the
city, chaos came with you.

Those Turks who were k*lled...

Kids, did you hear that?

Your mother is talking
about death next to you.

Are you afraid of death?

Look. You see?

Your children with our blood in their
veins are not afraid of the chaos of death.

Whose blood flows
in your veins? Whose?

I'm afraid the angel of death
will visit my children, brother.

Please. Brother, please.

I don't want you to
stay here anymore.

Do you think I'll leave
these children here if I go?

Do you think I'll leave them with
someone as cowardly as you?

Then what do you want from me?

We can start with your husband
Hristo, who left us alone at the table.

Or maybe, with
his good friend ♪.

But...

Who knows...

Maybe...

...both.

He was not like a
lion, he was a real lion.

Look...

He didn't even
fit in the coffin.

Saltuk became the leader
of the martyrs' caravan.

As long as there are brave
men like Saltuk and Selcuk...

...the sanjak of Turks
and Islam will never fall.

Some are blessed with martyrdom
in peace, others at the wall.

Why did the Sultan make everyone perform
the funeral prayer in the unfinished mosque?

He wanted...

...the first takbirs in
the Fatih mosque...

...built in his name...

...to be said for the martyrs.

To be recited for the martyrs.

I want revenge, my Hakan.

More than I ever did.

It will be taken.

It will be taken.

Now tell me.

How did you set up...

...all these traps?

Who was behind
you? Who helped you?

Halil Pasha.

I already told everything.

All of this was an accident.

Accident?

Accident.

If you don't want an
accident to happen here...

...speak.

Some old Roman soldiers...

...wanted to take
revenge on Fatima.

And they used me for it.

That's the situation.

But I see they succeeded.

Even though I showed my loyalty to
Sultan Mehmed, you don't believe me.

Did you think we are like the
Genoese that you played with?

I was with the emperor because
I could make that comparison.

Maybe you're here
because you couldn't.

Halil Pasha, Halil Pasha, look.

There is no need for
meaningless words.

Now tell me!

How was Notaras
involved in this?

Notaras had nothing
to do with this.

Even if he did...

...he would have waited for
Fatima to die before he left.

So that his name
wouldn't be involved.

Believe me, I only went
there to be a light of hope.

What light of hope, you fool?

You caused the death of our
children like Fatima and Saltuk.

In your own house.

Do you think...

...we are stupid?

So that you were innocent...

...why did you
try to k*ll yourself?

You will get what you wanted.

Take him to the Sultan.

In short, he is not saying
anything, my Hunkar.

What do you think, Pasha?

WAIllahi my Hunkar, I say
that they are hiding something.

If he stays silent even
at the cost of his life...

...then what they are hiding
must be dark and powerful.

That's why I brought him to your
feet, thinking it would be better.

Let him in.

You begged for mercy,
and we spared your life.

We asked for your word
of loyalty, and you gave it.

If there were old soldiers seeking revenge
in the city, why didn't you tell us before?

Sir, please have mercy.

I told everything
to Candarli Pasha.

You fool! You dishonest man!

Four of my companions
died in your house.

Sir, everything was
just a bad accident.

My loyalty to you is
endless. Please spare my life.

Don't you know?

Sultan Mehmed Khan would burn
the whole world for a single martyr.

Sir...

I don't want to hear your lies!

Look.

I am asking you
for the last time.

Either confess the
darkness behind you..

...or drown in the
power of my wrath.

Now we also need
a sacrifice, Platon.

For what?

For Mehmed to take his revenge.

Who is that?

There must be a
price for losing the city.

Right?

Speak, Platon.

Speak so that you may be saved.

Everyone who was an enemy to this
city was as arrogant as you, Mehmed.

And all of them
died the same way.

The same fate
is waiting for you.

Your end will be the same.

When I came in front of these
walls, I was Murad's son Mehmed.

Now I am Sultan
Mehmed the conqueror.

I am not like your
other enemies.

Halil Pasha.

Take this demon to the square.

All of my people, Muslim or
non Muslim, will gather there.

Everyone will see the
cost of not bowing...

...to my power.

As our glorious and
strong Hakan orders.

Don't hold yourself,
Fahreddin Effendi..

Don't cry inside.

Heart gets upset.
Tears come out.

Your daughter has passed.

Don't distress yourself.

My heart burns, Ali Bey.

It is in pieces.

Since we couldn't die for them..

.From now on..

...we will live for their cause.

That will be our efforts.

Eyvallah, Ali Bey.

Eyvallah.

Qadi Celebi?

Investigation is over.

And verdict has been made.

A reprisal has been decided.

You will carry
out the execution..

...as it is right for Hakk.

When?

Justice is not served late..

...at the state of Ottoman.

It will be delivered quickly.

Everyone scattered
around after the funeral, sir.

However..

...they had the lust of revenge
in their eyes instead of tears.

Good.

Very good.

Lust allows for mistakes.

With that opportunity..

...we will enter Mehmed's heart.

How will that happen, sir?

Leave that to me.

That Qadi...

...Hizir, any news from him?

He went with the leader of
Akinjis after the funeral, sir.

Let him go.

Let him go, then.

This broken justice..

...and the scale
of Hizir of theirs..

...will soon be toppled.

People!

Our Sultan Fatih Mehmed han
tells everyone to drop everything..

...and come to the square!

Hear, people!

Come on, Dimitri.

Let us be with our friend
when he gives his last breath.

- Let him suffer.
- That infidel.

O, the people of Constantinople!

Listen!

Today, not only a man but
a treachery will be judged!

That man did not carry
himself only but the disorder..

...darkness, lies and
bad deeds with him!

He betrayed both
our Sultan and you.

He said that he was alone. That
he did all those evil deeds alone!

However, we know that
a traitor cannot be alone.

A traitor is the leader
of an army of cowards!

Cowards now stay silent.

However, our Sultan's power is
enough to bring light to that darkness..

...to unveil all those traitors!

Here, Platon!

Your end..

...will be a warning
to the people!

Did Notaras not speak or
you just couldn't make him?

If it was appropriate..

...I would've made
him sing like a bird..

...however, I thought you
would see the matter personal..

...because of the
matters before that.

- However, if you see fit..
- No, Lala.

If you push it, you won't
see far. You'll be tired.

Sometimes, you have to let it be relaxed.
So that you can see the matter from inside.

We did not only get
revenge with Platon's death.

We showed those
devils in the dark that..

...we ended the
matter with Platon.

Meaning..

...Notaras and the others..

...will think that they are free.

That way, they will
not be as cautious..

...and move freely.

What is your command, my Hunkar?

Make your command, so
that your justice may light..

...even the darkest places.

Do what you do best.

Lala.

Walk in the snow.

And don't leave any tracks.

As our grand Sultan commands.

Our workers now work
between maghrib and isha..

...to finish the work
faster, Qadi effendi..

Good.

However..

...pay extra to those..

...who stay up this late.

Also, the work in the day..

...and the work in the
night are very different.

Be wary.

As you've commanded..

...extra payments are
placed, Qadi Effendi..

It is stated here.

We pay the half of what they
get in the day, at night as well.

That is how I managed
the night works.

Good, then.

Is Atik Sinan not here?

Where is he?

He comes early before everyone.

And he works all day.

So, he gets tired a lot.

I could barely convince
him to go in the evening.

Tell him the..

...good news..

.When he comes, then.

Our Sultan has granted..

...extra payment, to not
let the works slow down.

They deserved it.

Thank Allah, Qadi effendi..

I will tell him the
good news, inshaallah.

Inshaallah.

Come on then,
strength to your elbow.

Thank you.

Come on, son.

Come on!

Come on, valiants!

Come on!

Would you look at this.

They left all these wood here.

Not even tried to cover it.

They will get wet.

Send word to Saruca.

Have him cover all this wood.

They are redwood.

They harden after getting wet.

I believe the architect
wishes to soak it wet..

...before using them.

They shouldn't be covered.
- Who are you?

What are you doing here?

That won't do, Aghas.

We failed.

We couldn't find..

.Saltuk and Fatima on time.

Still, Agha, we did our best.

What more should we do?

Now, the time is not to act..

...but to wait.

Forgive me, Agha. I
couldn't understand.

Soon, either the shadow of our
Hunkar or Bali Bey will fall upon us.

They charged us with the duty.

And we failed.

What will we say then?

They will make
us answer for this.

And..

.It will be a tough one.

However, my Agha..

...you also know it..

...we checked everywhere..

...we flipped every stone.

We even checked the papers
of those who entered the city.

We wrote their names.

However..

...bad news struck
before it was finished.

Did you write everything?

Don't you have anything
that catches your attention?

We did, my Agha.

Bring the records.

As you command, Agha.

You know details.

Do you work here?

No, I do not work here.

However, I know you.

You are Hizir Celebi..

Since you know me..

...give me yours..

...so that I may know you.

Why are you wandering around..

...the construction site
where you don't work?

I just came to the city.

My father was an architect too.

My grandfathers
had built those walls..

...that you crushed.

We've listened enough of you..

...ancestors..

...your work..

...and your family.

However..

...you still haven't said..

...why you are here.

Who are you?

Sorry, that was unnecessary.

The head architect Hristo..

...is the husband of my sister.

I came to visit him,
but I couldn't find him.

My name is agamemnon.

Hristo you say?

We thought Hristo..

...was dead.

How?

Hristo.

That name is dead..

...in our books.

From that..

...a Muslim named..

...Atik Sinan was born.

Since..

...you know an architect..

...like Sinan..

...may our rabb..

...Grant you prosperity.

Welcome.

Do you have any wish from us?

I actually do.

My ancestors have
served this city for years.

After coming back to the city..

...I understood that..

...I belong here,
like my ancestors.

I would like to stay here..

...and serve this new city..

...like my ancestors, like Sinan.

What do you mean..

...by 'serve'?

Since I came, I saw that..

...Sultan wishes for a new city.

The city is being renewed.

It is reviving.

Me and my family..

...were the soul of this city.

We touched the walls, palaces..

...and the streets.

Now allow me.

So that I can touch..

...to the soul of this new city.

What you want..

...is a grand..

...dream.

I alone cannot Grant this.

However, I'll ask our Sultan.

Vasilios, who came for silk.

We've confirmed this with
Byzantine records also.

He comes in the
city every month.

A merchant.

Ahmet of persian lands,
who came for spice.

We personally know him.

He used to give
goods to Edirne as well.

These..

...won't do any
good, Settar Agha.

Whatever, continue.

Aga..

.Agamem..

Agamemnon.

Who is he?

What kind of merchant?

He is no merchant, Agha.

A stonemason.

A stonemason used to visit
Konstantinos during the siege.

Why did he come
here after the conquest?

I had it investigated.

That head architect,
who became a Muslim.

He is a relative of his, Agha.

Did you send anyone after him?

I did, Agha.

They saw him with Notaras a
couple of times at the bazaar.

Notaras you say.

Call the soldiers.

Call them in.

As you command, Agha.

Tell me, Hizir Celebi.

How is the construction going?

My Sultan, thanks to the
income from the new foundation..

...the construction
works of the city..

...has gained speed.

Prioritize the rooms
of single workers..

...who came for the housing work.

Most importantly,
make these rooms..

...outside and far
away from the streets.

Do not worry, my Hunkar.

We've discovered a spot..

.That is far from the center
and close to the walls.

What about the walls?

Have their repairs begun?

We've supplied the
necessary materials..

...and the workers, my Sultan.

The work has begun.

However, in order to make them..

...as strong as it was before..

...we need people
who knew the old ways.

Do you have someone in mind?

There is someone
skilled, my Sultan.

Not with the walls.

He says that he knows
about the renewal of the city.

His ancestors were architects.

However..

...I wanted to ask you first.

Do you..

...mean agamemnon, Kara Hizir?

Yes, my Sultan.

Do you know him?

He looks like a skilled master.

He has grand dreams.

So, he has rich envisagement.

I like those who have a
broad perspective, Hizir Celebi.

However, we first need to see
if his feet is firm on the ground.

Yusuf.

Send word to agamemnon.

Tell him to come here.

As you command, my Sultan.

Our soldiers..

...heard that Notaras..

...and agamemnon infidel
saw each other, Aghas.

Speak up.

It is correct, my Agha.

We do not know his name.

Your soldiers
showed them to us..

...and told us to keep
our eyes fixed on them.

- And after seeing him with Notaras..
- Where did you see him with Notaras?

I can't say we
saw them together..

...however, they
greeted each other once.

Are you making fun of me?

Did you see him, or not?

Make way!

Grand vizier
Candarli Halil Pasha!

My Pasha.

Back to your work.

Atmaca!

Agamemnon stood up.

Agamemnon, whose face was red with anger, filled
with dark furor, and whose eyes were full of sparks.

He said that if the Archer god was sending troubles,
it was because he didn't want to free the girl.

Yes, I really want to keep that
girl with me, said agamemnon.

You have read homer.

Then...

Did you know that the King you are named after wanted to sacrifice
a girl to the gods he believed in, just to defeat the trojans?

Homer did not write that.

Agamemnon, in his desire to get revenge on the
trojans, did things that should not be done.

Yes.

Revenge is like this.

Revenge.

So your family gave you this name because they still believe
Nemesis represents justice, even though they are Christian.

Do you think like your
ancestors too? Is revenge justice?

On the contrary, I believe my
ancestors were poisoned by this idea.

I get my strength not
from revenge but from art.

I do not k*ll. I keep alive.

That is why I want to
serve the city and you.

So that my art can live.

What about the trojans?
Their revenge? What about that?

The trojans' revenge
was taken twice.

Are you sure?

Yes.

The first was by homer, who wrote a story
that would make people remember Troy forever.

Like an artist.

The second was by you, by entering a
Greek city not with tricks but with honor.

And you chose to keep
people alive, not to k*ll them.

You are clever. And knowledgeable.
You may be useful to me.

But I do not trust things
that come suddenly.

Like that wooden horse
sent to the trojans.

Now tell me, why
should I trust you?

What if you, like the others who
served me before, like Platon...

...choose betrayal?

Well well Kurtcu, would
you say "my Pasha"?

Astaghfirullah my Pasha.

We thought you were a wolf. We believed your
claws were strong and your eyes were sharp.

But you could neither catch nor see the man responsible
for the death of my two children in this city.

Fatma and Saltuk were
not the only martyrs, Pasha.

I also buried my two
children, my two companions.

I buried them with these hands.

Now tell me.

Is it because of your carelessness
or because of your age?

I and my soldiers
did what we could.

We did everything, we
turned the city upside down.

We watched everyone entering and leaving the
city and followed the ones we did not trust.

We investigated.

But...

...before the investigation
was over, the bad news came.

Any news?

Hristo's brother-in-law.

They saw him greeting
Notaras. That's why...

Hristo's brother-in-law.

Agamemnon?

Yes, it's him, Pasha.

Who saw him?

The shopkeepers who just left.

Good.

Tell them to come
to me right away.

My only goal is to
serve this city and you.

And to live in peace in
the last years of my life.

Allow me.

I may carry the name agamemnon.

But believe me,
my soul is homer.

You are too old.

If you try to draw my
dreams, your hands will shake.

If you go out to the square, you
will be in pain because of your back

I can give you what you want.

What about you?

What can you do
for me at your age?

I heard you are building
a big madrasa in the city.

I may look old, but
my mind is fresh.

I can draw everything
you dream of.

So what do you want? Do
you wish to build the madrasa?

No my Sultan, but...

I want to raise students there
who I will teach everything I know.

I want to leave a Mark in this city with
the works they will make, like my family.

Look agamemnon.

This city is not Constantinople
built by your family anymore.

It is Islambol, a land of Islam.

But I will think about
your offer and your words.

Now...

Now you may leave.

Mashaallah, subhanallah.
We started a few days ago but...

The rebuilding of the city is
happening fast, my Pasha.

So much blood was shed,
so many lives were lost.

Of course, the Sultan would give
special care to the Jewel of the world.

But...

But?

This is not the only city
of the Ottoman state.

Who knows from which lands the
goods now growing here are missing.

What happens if they
are missing, my Pasha?

The strength of our state will
provide for all lands, with Allah's help.

Sure. Sure.

We are strong enough. But...

...every craftsman, every
tradesman has their own balance.

When they learn that their products
are being used to rebuild this city...

...I fear there may be unrest.

What should we do?

When everything is moved to Istanbul,
the city's wealth will grow quickly.

But anything that grows without
heed prepares its own end.

We need to take measures.

My Pasha, they are waiting
for you for the council.

Let's go to our Sultan and report
the situation. We will find a solution.

With Allah's permission.

Forgive me.

Saltuk.

Fatima sister.

Forgive me.

I did not want this to happen.

I did my best,
my Saltuk brother.

But...

What are you doing here, Kurtcu?

Have you come to pray for
whom you could not protect?

Don't, Bali Bey. Don't.

You might be angry..
You might be upset.

I can understand.

Look, my Saltuk lies here.

Because of whom?

You cost me a son, Dogan. A son.

Are you looking for a son?

Here!

They are all our children!

They are all our loved ones!

Do you think my heart
is not burning, Bali Bey?

Do you think I didn't suffer for
every companion I buried, Bali Bey?

I am not mad at you Dogan Agha.

I am mad because I
couldn't protect the trust.

Because I could
not protect Saltuk.

But... I promised his
mother and father.

I was going to take
good care of him.

Tell me Dogan Agha.

Does this pain go away?

It does not, Bali
Bey. It does not.

You just get used to it.

You get used to it in time.

But it never leaves.

Your brother... isn't he here?

No.

Hristo.

I need to tell you something.

- My brother...
- Eleanor...

You can tell me that later.

I want to tell you something
when your brother is not here.

What is it?

I don't know how...

...to tell you that but...

I do not believe the religion
of our ancestors now...

I believe Hadhrat
Muhammad's [pbuh] Religion...

Islam.

I became a Muslim.

I am not Hristo anymore.

I am Sinan.

I heard that you became
Muslim from Qadi Hizir.

Brother.

You don't need to
explain anything.

Mehmed...

...said this is the
land of free people.

And you are a free man.

You can do anything you want.

And I can only respect that.

Aren't you mad?

Soon...

...I might have to...

...leave this city.

If, in my absence, your wife and your
children eat at the table without you...

...then...

...we will have a problem.

Don't worry, brother.
I will never leave them alone.

I should go. I have to work.

I'll leave this here.

Brother.

You are not going
to do anything, right?

This is the state
of free people.

Anyone can do anything.

They can even...

...change their religion.

But...

...of course, everything
comes with a price.

Isn't that right, sister?

May it be good inshaallah.

Our Hunkar is quite late.

I hope nothing bad happened.

May it be good inshaallah.

Halil Pasha is also not around.

True.

Halil Pasha is here.

Now we'll find out
what happened.

Now...

...a very one pay attention.

Ulamas to my right side...

...pashas to my left.

Move, so the council may start.

What do you mean, Halil Pasha?

Are we going to stand against the
rules and make our Sultan angry?

Ishak...

Sultan is not here.

I am.

Attention!

Sultan Mehmed the conqueror!

Turk Istanbul.

With the grace and
elegance of our nation...

...this is our Istanbul,
the one that belongs to us.

This is the dream I had, the
dream I wished to become true.

May Allah help this dream to
come true just like the previous ones.

- Aameen.
- Aameen.

In this city I dreamt of...

...I want a school for children to
be built in every neighborhood.

Schools that carry our ideals
in every stone and every wall.

Inshaallah.

They will keep our children clean and
fresh like water flowing from a canal.

But it is not enough only for
our children to be well-raised.

We must also make
the city prosperous.

What is your order, my Hunkar?

We need to build fountains. Maybe
ten, maybe twenty, maybe forty.

Because Ottoman civilization
starts and ends with water.

But this is not the time
of fountains anymore.

We will surround the city with aqueducts
and bring water to every neighborhood.

Satilmis.

What was the
name of that source?

Kirklar, my Hunkar.

Kirklar.

The water coming to the city is
important not only for the living...

...but also for our dead.

We will build a cemetery
in every neighborhood.

So that the land under the
ground also belongs to us.

We, Turks, live
together with our dead.

Right, Beyatli?

Of course, my Sultan.

While our cemeteries
stay quiet and calm...

...our marketplaces and
city will be full of glory.

Before one trade caravan leaves
the inn, another one will arrive.

We will build great marketplaces,
unique inns and stores.

The ones who control trade control the
rules and become leaders of the world.

That's why we will not only
trade through land but also by sea.

We will build many ports.

This city was conquered with the
hard work of our veterans and martyrs.

Now with everything,
it should represent us.

Until that happens,
we will never stop.

Who are they?

They are veterans who fought in the
siege of Constantinople, my Hunkar.

They were treated.

They have packed their
things and returning their lands.

Good.

Yusuf.

My Sultan.

Effendis!

From today, our Sultan has
chosen me to manage the council.

Let this be known.

Now don't wait and
follow the protocol rules.

This is our Sultan's order.

From now on, he will only
join certain council meetings.

This is the new rule.

If a new rule is made...

...then why do we hear
it from you, Halil Pasha?

Because the Sultan
wants it that way, Zaganos.

From now on, you will
hear everything from me.

If you have a complaint, you can speak
to the Sultan on the days of meetings.

If not, be quiet so I
can start the council.

Alright. Then let's hear
the council's subject.

Let's see what we
are going to talk about.

First, we have the matter
of rebuilding Constantinople.

Workers and craftsmen will be
brought from both Rumelia and Anatolia.

You will be informed how many people
and materials are needed from each land.

Halil Pasha, these are
already under our control.

Each city can handle
what and who to give.

Since you are leading the council, you must
know that there are more important matters.

Yes.

What you are talking about can
even be solved by the Kazasker.

Everything in the state is
important, Zaganos Pasha.

But since you mentioned
it, you tell us then.

What did we miss
that you noticed?

Tell us.

Every coin in the treasury is
spent on rebuilding the city.

Of course, we must rebuild the city.
But we also need to take precautions.

The Janissaries need
spoils to be pleased.

They want battles.

As long as I am the grand vizier,
don't worry about the Janissaries.

Just like we put effort into
rebuilding, they will be patient too.

You know well that Janissaries are not
like us. We have witnessed that many times.

Even if we can't satisfy the Janissaries'
eyes, we must satisfy their ears.

Then tell us.

Do we know the
name of the KizilEIma?

You know the tradition.

First we settle, then
we move forward.

First, we must be strong here,
then we can go on conquest.

Don't worry about the Janissaries. As
long as I am grand vizier, they will wait.

Weren't you the grand vizier
during the revolt in Bucuktepe?

Yes.

Why didn't you stop
the Janissaries then?

Or... did you not want to?

Sahabettin Pasha...

I know Janissaries
better than you.

They are my children, but this is
not the subject of today's council.

Now let's get
back to our subject.

Everyone knows how much Halil Pasha
loves his children Sahabettin Pasha...

He was almost going to prevent the
conquest from happening to protect them.

I am leading this council
by the order of the Sultan.

The Sultan is one, I am
one, and our word is one.

This is not the
subject of our council.

If you are worried and concerned,
you can go and talk to our Sultan.

We will talk to you.

Aren't you the grand vizier?

I would like to have a word
with my turk men brothers.

I brought ayran for the road,
would you like some, my Hunkar?

Of course.

That's enough.

Alhamdulillah.

Thank you.

What is your name?

Hasan, my Hunkar.

Hasan, such a beautiful name.

Where are you from?

Kutahya Sevindikli, my Sultan.

From Germiyanids.

Good.

You lost your arm.

Don't you ever
complain about me?

We had a part in prophet's
[Pbuh] Good news, alhamdulillah.

If my tongue says anything
but prayer, I will cut it off.

Now, my hand and word is yours.

You may how wander
in the state of Ottoman..

...as a friend of Sultan.

Do not bow down in anywhere,
as infidels could not made you.

The valiants, who gave their
lives instead of kneeling down.

The valiants, who
left their mothers..

...their children, their
Hatun to come here.

Now, you go back home..

...some leaving their lives..

...and some their arms and legs.

What you had
lost is of this world.

However, know that what you've earned,
will be your witness in the afterlife.

You came to the w*r, without
expecting treasures, I know.

And you turn back now
without requesting treasures.

Our ancestors say that
a Valiant is shy of praying.

That is why, we will
give you, before you ask.

Now, I bid you all farewell.

However, I expect you to return with your
families to make this place turk Istanbul.

That is why, the
decree that I hold..

...is the declaration of your
companionship to Sultan Mehmed han.

Alright, my son.

My Valiant son.

Alright.

Alright, my son.

My Valiant son.

Come on now, time to sleep.

May you be a grand
shahzade, my Valiant son.

What happened, Bahar?

Our Sultan will
dine with us tonight.

We've been waiting for long.

You're right, Bahar.

The sons long for their father
and the father long for his sons.

What should we have prepared?

What does our Sultan want?

I am having sea bass prepared.
You know, our Sultan likes fish.

I do.

If it was before, he wouldn't
eat the fish he didn't catch.

However, times have changed now.

Why doesn't he catch fish how?

A grand Sultan does
not catch fish, son.

Let me catch fish then.

Am I not the son of my father?

You grow up first,
then you'll catch some.

If my father did, so can I.

I wish Mara Hatun would be here.

She also liked fish.

Yes.

I wonder if she had arrived.

Sultan Mehmed han has
conquered Constantinople..

...and became Fatih
Sultan Mehmed!

He got past vicious
seas and walls!

The cornerstone city of the
world has become a home of Turks!

This decree..

...is the conquest declaration..

...of our grand
Sultan Mehmed han..

...to the Serbian
King Brankovich!

Our Sultan has more to say.

Now..

...the envoy of all orthodox..

...is Fatih Sultan Mehmed.

Against every
trouble you encounter..

...against every power..

...that stand against you..

...the person whom
you will seek shelter in..

...is the Sultan of Ottoman!

Let this be known.

Candarli now has
representation power..

...for the council..

...as if taking grand vizier
position was not enough?

I don't understand how our
Sultan values this man so much..

...after all that happened?

Come on, Ishak Pasha. What
power are you talking about?

Can't you see?

He comes to the council
with unimportant matters.

Did you see how he avoided the
matter when important matters came up?

Meaning, our Sultan..

...is keeping Halil
on his good side..

...with restricted
power, Zaganos?

Still, why would he do that?

What good can that do?

I do not know.

What I really wonder..

...is how Halil Pasha
convinced our Sultan.

What if our Sultan
had planned it himself?

What if he wanted it himself?

Wouldn't he make us answer then?

No.

no, no. It must not be, Sahabettin. It
must not be. I believe, Zaganos is right.

It is Halil's doing.

He must've convinced our Sultan.

However, after a couple
more council meetings..

...our Sultan will
understand the situation.

Yes.

You saw it too, right?

How his expression changed
after getting his answer.

You spoke harsh too, Zaganos.

You're right.

How his expression
changed after asking him that.

I will go to our Sultan
as soon as possible..

...and speak about the
matter when he is available.

Then, we will learn
about the truth..

...of this representation matter.

That's good.

It would be good to hear
the truth from our Sultan.

Biznillah.

Let us hope for the best.

When will the fish be ready?

The cooks are not
here yet, my shahzade.

The head cook wishes to
present fresh fish to our Sultan.

Are they catching it
from that far away?

No.

However, bass
has a time of catch.

That is why they're late.

If it was my father, he
would've caught it by now.

Did you know..

...he used to catch his own
fish before he became Sultan?

Of course I did, my shahzade.

He was a little older than you.

When he was a child.

He used to go out the
palace any way he could.

We searched everywhere in
harem but it was for naught.

And where was he?

He went to catch fish.

Did my father
Murad han took him?

No.

He went by himself.

He asked for permission a couple
of times. But it has been refused.

Then, he got out
himself and came back.

Didn't my grandfather
get mad at him?

He said that a Valiant
writes his own story.

He didn't get mad.

Writing his own story, you say.

I followed Notaras for a while.

Just as you thought.

There is a janissary
following him constantly.

Platon is dead.

Now, we can't act
as freely as before.

What is your plan, sir?

Nemesis..

...is hot the goddess
of revenge only.

But the goddess
of justice as well.

Even Rome knew her strength.

Her face was on the first
coins they manufactured.

Because, states
live with justice.

And people..

...seek shelter in
those who are just.

Just like Mehmed's state.

Isn't that so, Dimitri?

Yes, sir.

However..

However, if the scale of justice
is moved to somewhere else..

...then, Nemesis takes off..

...the mask of justice.

There will only be the
face of revenge then.

A new sacrifice.

Qadi Hizir..

...his end..

...will be our beginning.

All eyes will be on us.

We are hunters.

Our hunt is ready.

There is only one thing missing.

And that is a good bait.

Hristo.

Hristo?

However, he is the
husband of your sister?

He is a person who
sold Jesus Christ..

...to build a prayer
place for muslims.

Even if he is my own
son, I won't show mercy.

When Mehmed sees
Hristo k*lling Hizir..

...he will not act with justice..

...but with anger.

After that..

...even the orthodox..

...who accepted Mehmed's rule..

...will be with us.

And that is exactly
what we want.

There will be chaos.

Also..

...get rid of this, Dimitri.

They will get me by
the door, Daye Hatun.

You can return
to your duty then.

I wish Reyhan Agha
accompanied you, my shahzade.

As you know, there is a garden between
the door and harem. I cannot enter there.

Do not worry, I am old enough
to get through the garden myself.

When will your rhetoric
lessons will end?

It will end around dhuhr.

You can come and get me then.

If Reyhan Agha will be
available, let him come and get me.

You do not bother.

You can return to your duty.

Tell me, Halil Pasha.

How was the council?

My Sultan, I represented
the council as you asked.

However, this
representation matter is not fit.

Why do you say that, Candarh?

Does my council
reject my decision?

My Sultan, they do
not reject your decision.

They reject what I speak.

My weight of words was tested,
the state matters were not discussed.

Didn't I give you
authority, Candarh?

Why didn't you put your
weight on the matter?

I understood that the weight of a
representative is nothing compared to Sultan.

If the throne is empty,
so are the words.

You still think that you
got the duty from me.

Lala.

That is why you are wrong.

That is why they
do not listen to you.

How, my Hunkar?

You didn't take the duty.

I gave it to you.

Do you know..

...why I gave it to you??

Why?

Why, my Hunkar?

I wanted you to understand..

...that how the little shahzade..

...whom even you didn't listen..

...grew up and made
the council respect him.

I wanted you to see my
absence as you saw my presence.

I wanted you to understand..

...how it is like to be..

...the Sultan.

I understood the value of your
presence, and the lack of it..

...my Hunkar.

However, I also understood this.

There can't be
representation at the council.

There can be, Lala.

There will be.

As long as your
throne remains still..

...your word is above most.

Since the word itself is not enough,
that they need to see me there..

...there is also a
solution for that.

How, my Hunkar?

- How can I be there when..
- Make a caged window to your council.

It would be such a window that,
outside cannot be seen from inside..

...however, inside can
be seen from outside.

As you command, my Hunkar.

However, make a room that can
only be accessed from my harem.

I will is ten to the
council when I wish.

Let them know that the
shadow of Sultan is always there.

Yes, my Hunkar.

As you wish.

As our Hunkar command.

Let's bring those
baskets and leave.

Will we return before
morning prayer tomorrow?

We'll set out with Allah's
permission, then see when we return.

Why did this fall?

We probably didn't place it
firmly. Lift it up and let's go.

I am Sultan Mehmed's son.

These are the
Bursa carpets, right?

Yes, my Sultan. They are
very precious and very valuable.

What do you think, Bahar? Would
this carpet suit the dining room?

Yes.

They say red makes
people hungry.

Maybe it will bring back
Bayezid's appetite too.

Gulsah, let's put this in
your room. Did you like it?

It's beautiful.

Thank you Bahar.

Then let me choose one for you.

Thank you, but you know
Bayezid will want to choose lit.

I just called Daye, he will
then come and choose.

Of course. Whichever my
shahzade wants, let it be that one.

Come, my son.

Where is the shahzade, Daye?

He went to the selamlik
for a rhetoric class.

Didn't you know?

But he doesn't have class today.

Will it take long?

It'll be done soon. Be patient.

When he returns...

...I'll make him tell me one by one
what he learned in the rhetoric lesson.

Since he convinced Daye Hatun, our shahzade
must have become a master of rhetoric.

Unless he meets our
Hunkar in the selamlik.

Then he will realize his
mistake and get so scared.

If our Sultan finds
out about this...

...he will make me
suffer for this, Gulsah!

Alright, I said nothing
will happen, Bahar.

Don't worry.

Reyhan Agha.

Yes my Sultan.

Go to the selamlik, find
our shahzade and bring him.

Tell him his mother missed him very
much. He'll come back quickly anyway.

Alright, Bahar. Alright.

Don't worry.

He'll come now.

Do not upset yourself.

Bayezid...

Ah my son...

Alright.

Reyhan Agha will find
him and bring him here.

How is he not here, Reyhan Agha?

WAIllahi I don't know.

How and where did he go?

Did no one see him?

How could our shahzade get lost?

Daye Hatun was the
last person who saw him.

And he left her saying
he had a class to join.

Wait here.

I'll inform our Sultan.

Stop, Yusuf Agha! Stop.

If our Sultan hears about it, may
Allah forbid, his furor will burn us alive.

Our shahzade is
lost, Reyhan Agha.

Shahzade.

Allow me.

I will check the selamlik.

He might be there.

You wait here.

I'll go and check.

Today I will catch
the fish for my father.

No matter what happens,
you must learn to survive.

Knowing the sea is
important so you don't starve.

You must definitely
learn how to fish.

But for that, you need
a good fishing rod.

Will I also have a good rod?

Yes, yes of course.

But...

...you are too young to be here.

This land belongs to my
father. I can go wherever I want.

Who is your father?

Sultan Mehmed Khan.

Yes Zaganos.

I am listening to you.

You said it was urgent
and wanted to see me.

What is the matter that could
not wait for the hearing day?

My Sultan.

The goods and materials brought
for the rebuilding of Istanbul...

...have caused tension between the
soldiers and the people in some cities.

May Allah forbid, while we
try to strengthen the conquest...

What is your
advice? Tell me that.

I suggest that...

...we increase the number
of soldiers in those cities.

Let's reconsider the decision and do our
best for the treasury to grow carefully.

I really wonder, Zaganos...

Aren't these matters discussed in the
council? Why couldn't you reach a decision?

Or do you have an objection or a
disagreement with what the grand vizier said?

My Sultan.

You are aware of the differences of
opinion between Halil Pasha and me.

But I fear he'll take what
I say as a matter of nafs.

Let's say he doesn't see
the things I do, do you?

I would not...

I was the one who gave
that seal to Candarl..

I was the one who had the word representative
written on the Ferman he had in his hand.

His word is my word.

But if my word is not enough...

...then listen to me carefully.

Let alone my word, even if my
shadow falls upon you, you will obey.

Otherwise, you will not even
see my shadow again, Zaganos.

Now...

I am having a window opened in the
council hall. Look well at that window.

My shadow will always be there.

Did you understand?

I did. I did, my Sultan.

But, forgive me...

Why do you withhold your face from
us, and make us look for your shadow?

We are entering a
new era, Zaganos.

Our future is getting better,
our state is getting stronger.

I am seeing such majesty that...

...neither time nor our lives will be enough
to cross it from one end to the other.

That's why even our
shadow must rule.

Our majesty must manifest
in every one of our deputies.

What happened, Yusuf?

My Sultan.

Your shahzade Bayezid.

What happened to my shahzade?

We heard it from Reyhan Agha.

Your shahzade
deceived Daye Hatun...

...and went to selamlik.

But...

Yes?

But?

We could not find
him, my Sultan..

You go home. I'll come later.

See? You have a good rod now.

May luck be with you.

Reyhan!

How did that happen?

Where is my shahzade?!

Tell me!

My Hunkar...

He told Daye Hatun he
was going to selamlik.

But we could not find him.

But it's not possible for our
shahzade to leave the palace.

If something happens
to my shahzade...

...that lock which cannot
be placed on doors...

...will be put on your foot as a chain,
and on your neck as an axe. Know that.

Search everywhere!

Find my shahzade!

As you order.

Pray that they find him.

Pray.

Were those kids your kids?
- They were my niece and nephew.

Don't you have kids?

I don't.

You have one there!

But it is too small. It
should not be eaten.

His parents might miss him.

He is still a baby.

A fish is a fish.

Even if it's small.

But this small fish is
not going to be useful.

Small fish is a bait.

You can only reach the big
fish by catching the small fish.

Alright?

We need to catch
it until tonight.

I'll take it to my father.

But fishing requires patience.

Look. I've been waiting
for it for a long time.

For what?

For having a fish in my hands.

Where? Did you catch it?

I did.

But I cannot see anything.

I do.

Neither birds will fly,
nor caravans will pass.

Find the shahzade, Dogan Agha.

As you order, my Pasha.

Either they are beys,
pashas or state officials...

All houses are
going to be searched!

Don't show mercy...

...to anyone!

If we cannot find
him, may Allah forbid...

...our Hunkar will put us
into a boiler and burn us alive.

Find the shahzade, Kurtcu.

Come with me.

Listen.

Have you seen the shahzade?

No.

Let's go out.

Have you seen the shahzade?

He is not here.

He is not here.

Come on Aghas!

There are still many places
to check! Keep looking!

Come on! We will
check the ports!

Come on Aghas!

It's clean.

Our shahzade is not here.

My shahzade!

My shahzade!

Where are you?

He is nowhere to be found!

He is not here! I guess
we won't be able to find him.

We will find him if we want our heads
to stay on our shoulders. Come on! Walk!

I'd notice if I saw him...

He is not here.

This place is clean.

Thanks to Allah.

Our shahzade is not here.

Have you checked everywhere?

We checked every jug,
every chest, everything.

But we couldn't find him.

Send them back!

Bring the next one!

The fire is growing.

Kurtcu, the fire is growing.

We sent all the
Janissaries but...

...there is no news...

...there are no
tracks, my Pasha.

No buts.

He will be found.

If we cannot find him...

...this fire will burn the corps and
the Janissaries, Kurtcu. Know that.

I am afraid something bad
might happen to him, my Pasha.

I remember Saltuk
and Fatma Hatun.

Don't...

May the wind take away your
words, bite your tongue, Kurtcu!

WAIlahi, even when you
say it, I get goosebumps.

If that happens...

...Walllahi, I swear, Sultan
Mehmed Khan will burn this city down.

What house are you
talking about Dimitri?

Wouldn't it be better if
we come in day light?

As you know, Hristo I am sleeping on a
hard below in the barn for many nights.

Besides, the landlord is
leaving the city tomorrow.

That is why he'll
give it away cheap.

Good.

Buy it then, why
are you taking me??

Yes, but, house has been
damaged under the siege.

He told me that I would
repair it after buying it.

However, a skilled architect..

...like you needs
to see the house.

Alright.

Please, come in.

Good.

So where is the damaged
locations? Let us check them out first.

Sure, we will.

Is he dead?

He is alive.

Take him.

Did the guy who
will bring Hizir left?

Yes, sir.

Good.

Do not forget.

We will be fast and silent.

Have you checked the store?

No, we haven't.

Look here.

You, check those stores.

Did you see that?

Did you see?

What did you do?

Any tracks?

Only that street left, my Agha.

We've searched every
part of Constantinople.

You check those houses..

...and we will check those.

Alright, my Agha.

If you see any
trouble, let me know.

Alright?

Soldiers!

This is about our shahzade.

Know that well.

Come on!

Ibrahim, Mahmut! Come with me!

Come on!

As you command.

As you've commanded, we've
let other Janissaries know..

...and put on duty, Qadi Celebi.

You did well.

Inshaallah, we
will find them soon.

If we cannot, then
we will be in trouble.

Qadi effendi!

What happened, son?

Someone! They k*lled someone!

Who? Where?

Right there!

Some janissary k*lled my friend!

Let me call those on duty.

We do not have that much time!

They took the man upstairs!

They may Bury and
hide the body until then!

He is right.

Let us not wait.

Move.

We've checked every
village around, my Sultan.

However, there are no tracks.

Evrenesoglu.

Are there no news on your side?

I've sent my men to
every direction, my Sultan.

However..

My Sultan, every caravan, carriage
and even sack was checked..

...that went in
and out of the city.

There are no tracks.

Apparently, he is
not behind the walls.

Where is my shahzade then?

Where?!

You couldn't find him!

The sun has set,
the moon has risen!

My shahzade is still not here!

Don't worry, my Hunkar.

With Allah's permission, we will find our
shahzade safe and sound and bring him to you.

Inshaallah.

Sahabettin, inshaallah
it will be as you said.

Pray.

All of you must pray.

Let's hope, bismillah.

My Hunkar...

Is this the place?

Yes, here.

Sinan!

Son!

Sinan!

Trap, Qadi Celebi! It's a trap!

k*ll them!

My Sultan...

My shahzade?

Have you found him, Lala?

Tell me!

Unfortunately, we
could not find him.

But...

But?

Agamemnon...

Agamemnon did.

Aghas!

Stay there!

You found my shahzade.

Thank you!

Did you think you could save
yourself from the claw of Kurtcu?

Dogan!

My son!

Catch that dog!

My son! My Dogan!

I couldn't protect you, my son

My Agha! My Agha!

His wound is here.

I have no one, my sheikh.

Who would send me something?

The sender is the one of those who
have no one, Sultan Mehmed Khan.

Dogan! My son!

My Agha!

My Agha!

My son!

My Agha!

My son!

My son...
