02x33 - Episode 33

[bunniefuu]

They wanted to take
my life, they lost theirs..

They put stones in my way,
they got crushed under them.

Now tell me Ali Bey, what
should we do about this?

We need blood for blood,
life for life, my Sultan.

Just like we did with Agamemnon.

And what about the
darkness behind it?

What should we
do to enlighten it?

Cut the tongue of the one who speaks, cut
the hand of the one who draws a sword...

...cut the head of
the one who rebels.

Then go to the
Pontus Greek empire.

Show our power,
declare our rule.

Let them know we
have sent a letter.

They must bow to our
call and ask for forgiveness.

What is your order for those
who don't ask for forgiveness?

Either the sharp sword or the
whistling arrow. Death, for sure.

As our glorious Hakan orders.

Bali Bey will accompany
you in this duty. Go safely.

Sahabettin Pasha.

My Hunkar.

Bring Candarli to me.

Let's listen to his confession
and make our decision.

As our glorious Hunkar orders.

Come on Atmaca, where are you?

Where have you been?

- My Pasha.
- Tell me.

What did you do, Atmaca?

Tell me you found Notaras.

He wasn't in his
mansion, my Pasha.

We asked around, but
no one had seen him.

I think he escaped, my Pasha.

How did he escape, Atmaca?

If someone else catches Notaras
before us, then they will k*ll us all.

What does Notaras know
to have us k*lled, my Pasha?

Don't talk as if you
don't know, Atmaca.

Who gave us the
name of Agamemnon?

Who knew everything
from the beginning?

If eastern Rome is going
to rise again from Pontus...

...and its light will shine on
Constantinople, I will do what you say.

So, for Rome, huh?

What did you expect me to say?

No, no. I don't expect
anything from you.

But you spoke so convincingly
that even I believed you.

But when I think about
who you really are...

Let's go to Mehmed.
I'll tell him everything.

No.

Don't you do that.
You won't tell anything.

You will not even say a thing to
yourself, unless I let you, Notaras.

What do you want me to do?

In exchange for your life, you
will help me get rid of Zaganos.

This is very dangerous.

At the end of this...

This is very dangerous, right?

At the end of this, you
might lose your head too.

So you have to do as I say.

Do it well so I won't be watching
your execution from the front row.

For your political future, you
really do everything Candarli.

But if Sultan Mehmed finds out what happened,
you'll lose not only your future but your head too.

Do you think I'm
like you, Notaras?

Am I a statesman who
has lost his power like you?

I choose the
leader of this state.

I let the Hakan
sit on the throne.

I replace the sultans.

So don't worry about me,
worry about your own life.

Alright then.

Safely, my old friend.

If Sultan find
Notaras before us...

Then, we will scatter
like these beads.

They will tear our
bodies into pieces.

Then what we will do, my Pasha?

What do you command?

Halil Pasha?

Sahabettin?

Didn't you learn
to ask permission..

...when going into my room?

Our Hunkar is calling you.

Halil Pasha.

At once.

Let none stand, Nikola.

Bend each of their heads.

And don't take those out.

They will stay impaled here.

Alright?

Sir, this is a road.

The smell of rotting bodies..

...will lure animals here.

I have two stakes to spare.
Would you like to be my guest, Nikola?

Do as I say.

A painting made with
paint may be forgotten.

However, those
drawn with blood..

Will echo for eternity.

No matter who it is..

Everyone will bow
down to my Sultan.

Sir.

Mara Hatun is here.

Mara Brankovic.

Our Sultan did not want this.

We've made those who
does not want to bow down..

...remember that
they need to obey.

You seem to be
bragging about this.

A forgotten power is
no power, my Sultan.

Fear that is reminded
bear no power.

I only freshened their memories.

As per my duty.

Then go and refresh your memory.

Sultan Mehmed Khan is
waiting for you at the capital.

As my Sultan commands.

Don't you know that the
throne doesn't want discord?

Don't you know that the
rule does not accept shadows.

Don't you know that sultanate
is not for sharing, Candarli?!

I do, my Hunkar.

I do, however, I do not know
why you are saying these.

Since you know, why did
you allow my shahzade..

...to go with him, then??

Why did you allow it?

How can you act without
or knowledge, Candarh?!

Revealment of Agamemnon
was a delicate matter.

I did not want to miss out on
this opportunity by revealing it.

Was your plan revealed
just by telling us?

Wasn't Zaganos Pasha
already on this matter?

Why did you hide it from him?

I was worried he would
not be able to do this job..

...as he could not before.

Pasha!

Who are you to
question my command?!

My Sultan.

I understand Halil
Pasha's caution.

Matters like these
require secrecy.

No matter how he cast
shadow on my duty..

...and made a mistake,
he succeeded in the end.

Just because his methods are
questionable, it would not be..

...wise to punish our grand vizier
who thinks the best of our people.

Enough, Zaganos.

Then..

Tell me, Halil Pasha.

Who did you bargain with
to get Agamemnon's name”?

Did you look everywhere?

Are there any news from Notaras?

I've checked every
west and north parts.

We've asked to our spies
as well, but to no avail.

And what did you do, Hasan?

Any tracks?

I've checked the rest
of the city and the gates.

No one saw or heard him.

Now, there'll be no
breaks nor sleep, Aghas.

If Notaras is not found,
only eternal sleep awaits us.

No matter what you do, find
Notaras before Sultan does.

Come on.

We have eyes and ears
everywhere, my Hunkar.

I do not ask about everyone.

I only ask who did
you bargain with.

My Hunkar, exposing
the name here..

You are ordered to answer!

This here is the
council of Hunkar!

A while ago, I was
suspected that..

...Platon and Notaras
saw Agamemnon..

...a couple of times.

Then..

...let us ask Notaras
if what you say is true.

Yusuf!

Yes, my Hunkar?

Notaras.

Forgive me, my Hunkar.

We have not found him yet.

However, the search continues.

Door.

We called you
Atik [quick] Sinan.

Not Tez Canli [restless] Sinan.

I long for them, Hizir Celebi.

Who knows what
that tyrant did to them.

There is no tyrant
nor his fear left.

Father!

My children!

My dear children!

Only you and your family left.

May you live in peace now.

How are you?

I hope they didn't
do anything to you.

We're alright.

How are you?

They say that accursed
man is k*lled, is that true?

Our Sultan took his life.

Now, the storm has ended.

Why are you upset?

Aren't you happy
to see your father?

I am, but he took
my necklace from me.

Look.

He didn't and couldn't
take anything from us.

Here you go.

We've sent word from Rumelia
to Anatolia, from Pontus..

...to Mora, my Pasha.

Any news?

Not yet, my Pasha.

If Notaras has aimed
to put you in a tight spot..

...against Sultan, we
would've already talked.

Life is like chess, Atmaca.

You can't win with luck.

A wise move is always needed.

If they find out that I
planned it all with Notaras..

...to get rid of Zaganos
and Sahabettin..

- However, Pasha..
- On top of that, if they find out..

...that we put Bali Bey, who
is filled with vengeance..

...also..

On top of that..

Janissaries.

Find Notaras, Atmaca.

Find him, or they
will checkmate us.

Our Sultan won't punish you
with Notaras' words, Pasha.

You are correct.

Our Sultan won't believe
Notaras' words without proof.

However..

...Zaganos will.

Now, look here.

I've set all the pieces here.

I made sure there
was balance, Atmaca.

As balance is the key.

You make your move based
on your enemy and gather allies.

That way, those who set
the pieces always move on.

However, the scale
is not balanced now.

We are alone, and
they are against us.

What do you command, Pasha?

The last I want..

...would be a vizier
that stands against me.

And who is that?

Zaganos.

Find Notaras before
anyone else does, Atmaca.

Before anyone else.

As you command, my Pasha.

You look disappointed.

Or did our men make
you swallow your tongue?

Last time you touched me, Sultan Mehmed
took the grand vizier position from you.

Now...

Things changed.

When our Sultan took
you under his protection...

...the dirt you were
involved in was not known.

If I handed you over to our
Sultan now, he would reward me.

But you didn't take me to him.

Since I'm in here, it means you
want something from me, Zaganos.

I don't know.

What is left of the powerful
Notaras of Byzantium?

What could I want from
you? What can you give me??

Especially in this
state. You tell me.

What can you give me?

- Information, Zaganos.
- Information.

Yes.

Candarli knew about
Agamemnon long ago.

But he waited to
damage your reputation.

I can tell everything I know
to the Sultan if you want.

Do you think our Sultan would punish the
grand vizier based on the words of someone

like you who lost everything?

With your confession,
you'd only lose your life.

Then what do you
want from me, Zaganos?

I don't need what
you can say now.

I want what your ears
will hear from now on.

Keep working, my lions! Go on!

My Sultan, as you ordered, the big bear
and shakaloz reached our cavalrymen.

They also started their training, alhamdulillah.
- Excellent.

This is our first galley completed
in our shipyard, my Sultan.

Mashaallah.

But Bahadir Pasha, this
galley is longer than the others.

There won't be any
trouble at sea, right?

On the contrary, my Pasha,
our galley is long but light.

That's why it can maneuver
better and move faster.

So Bahadir Pasha...

Will you only put six
cannons on such a big galley?

Some of our galleys will have
fewer cannons and more levents.

Because after the other
galleys fire their cannons..

...our high decks will let our levents
get onto the enemy's ships more easily.

So you're saying we'll move fast and close
to the enemy ships and fight hand to hand.

Correct, my Sultan. I
fully trust my levents.

They will rip the hearts of the enemies
and defeat them, with Allah's help.

With Allah's help.

Then the other galleys should
also be sent to sea quickly.

As you know,
Pontus is our target.

After that, the Vatican.

We will not stop until we bring
the whole world to its knees.

As long as I have strong, skilled and loyal
pashas like you, I fully believe this.

Now...

...we will write "the true religion
is Islam" even in the pupils of birds.

Inshaallah, my Sultan.

So what I want from you
is actually very simple.

You will fall into Halil's trap that
he will plan to execute you. That's it.

This is a plan made by someone
who knows nothing about politics.

Don't talk. This is not Halil, do
not tell me meaningless things.

Save what you will say for Halil,
who will come to catch and k*ll you.

Save it so he
brags and talks a lot.

Let's say I make him
talk. What good will it do?

Who am I organizing
this play for?

You still don't
understand, do you?

A wolf like you should have already guessed
who the guest of honor in this game is.

Think a little.

The Sultan?

The Sultan, right.

I'll bring him with an excuse.

While you make Halil talk,
our Sultan will hear everything.

Do your part well so our Sultan
hears everything he needs to hear.

And what if I don't
agree to help you?

Halil kept you alive until now because
he thought he might need you in the future.

But I...

If you are no use to me now,
I can k*ll you any moment.

What would stop me?

Anyway, won't either you, Halil,
or Mehmed k*ll me in the end?

They only promise you death.

But I give you death in
one hand, life in the other.

Your pregnant daughter and...

...your grandchild.

Is my daughter pregnant?

Either give me Halil and return to
your family or stand against me and...

...say goodbye to your family.

The choice is yours.

I threw my son into that fire with my
own hands, Gulsah. Can you believe it?

Shame on Mehmed. How can a
person do this to his own child?

What did he do, Bahar?
Stop complaining and explain.

You know Bayezid was
going to Fetih mosque.

With his teacher, Agamemnon.

So?

It turns out Agamemnon was the
traitor who k*lled Saltuk and Fatima.

Agamemnon?

He was the traitor.

He planned a game using
Bayezid to expose him.

When I think about it,
I feel like I am losing my mind.

Bahar.

Your heart is a mother's heart.

I understand your fear.
But you must understand this too.

Osmanogullari wear the
shirt of fire from birth.

I know.

I can convince my heart too,
but this matter is different, Gulsah.

All matters of the
state are one, Bahar.

That is to keep the religion and
state strong and the nation prosperous.

Do you remember the houses
we visited during the siege?

Sure I do.

Some were children without
mothers, some without fathers.

Mothers and fathers
longing for their children.

All of them marched without
blinking for this da'wah.

Those who went saw themselves as Ismail
so their Hunkar could become Ibrahim.

If a Sultan holds back the knife he uses
saying "bismillah” to sacrifice others...

...from his own son,
who will stand behind him?

You are right.

Many brave young men had henna
on their hair as a sign of sacrifice...

...and many Hatun with henna
not dry on their hands for marriage...

...died for this cause.

You are right.

If we are the hatuns of the state, we
must know our duty and how to stay strong.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Are you still complaining Dogan?

You are struggling because
of such a small wound.

Sit down. Sit.

Were you training or fighting? Nobody
knows. You're always bleeding somewhere.

There were three of
them. That's why my Efendi..

Do you have a problem
with being alive, Dogan?

Come on, turn around
so I can clean your wound.

No, my Efendi...

Why are you calling
me Efendi, Dogan?

We are brothers in
this world and the next.

But you are the grand
vizier's son. You're his heir.

So what? You are also a son
of a man. We are the same.

Turn around now, turn.

One day you might be the one who
protects me. You'll treat my wound.

Who knows?

I open my eyes and I see you.

I close them and I
see you again, Pasha.

Kurtcu Dogan, the grand vizier treats
your wound and you're still not happy.

They named me Dogan,
and they called me Kurtcu.

Let's call it my nature.

So you say "'even if I lie down,
I'll still show my claws" is that it?

You should see this
wolf when he gets up.

Tell me, Pasha.

Did you cut the heads of
those who spilled our blood?

Kurtcu Dogan,
everyone knows this.

I scratch the eyes out of those who
dares set his eyes on Candarli's friend.

If they raise a hand,
I break it.

Alright? Come on!
Get up!

Get up, the victory sherbet is
boiling. Get up, let's drink it together.

Come on! Come on!

Bismillah!

Get up. Mashaallah.

- Selamun aleykum my Pasha.
- Aleykum selam.

Half for you, half for me.

Thank you, I don't want
it. I don't feel like eating.

You're upset.

Of course I am.

Don't we both have a
revenge to take from Notaras?

While he's not around,
why are you so happy?

What are you so angry
about? Tell me that first.

I had everywhere checked. It's like the
ground opened up and swallowed the man.

If we lose him again, we'll be
completely disgraced, know that.

Did your men search properly?

They did.

Did they check everywhere?

I said they did, they checked.

Good. Then tell them
to stop looking for him.

It's not possible for them to
find what they are looking for.

What do you mean it's not possible?
They will find that man one way or another.

They can't because the man
they are looking for is in my hands.

What are you saying, Pasha?

Then why aren't you
taking him to our Hunkar...

Why are you eating an apple
and telling me stories like Candarh?

Wait... don't get mad.

I'll tell you everything.

But you should know...

What I'm going to
tell you is a big secret.

Come in!

My Pasha.

Yes, Ibrahim?

These are the complaints
of Timar owners, Pasha.

Alright.

Pick one and read it for me.

Let's see what
troubles they have.

Ibrahim?

What are you doing, son?

I'm reading it, Pasha.

You're reading it.

Why are you not
reading it aloud?

So that you may not
get angry, my Pasha.

They will complain now
and you will get angry.

Hasbin Allah wa Ni'mal Wakeel.

Ibrahim.

Give it here.

Stop being a loudmouth.

Here, my Pasha.

Allah Allah!

Didn't we put them
there to resolve issues?

They're sending the
same issues back to us.

Take this. Give another.

Here, my Pasha.

La hawla Wela quwwata
illa billahil-Aliyyi i-Azeem.

Look, we gave the man Timar.

He feeds a soldier and
complains about brigands.

And here, he
can't get his taxes.

If we were to resolve this
for them, then why are we..

...putting them there?

Take these, Ibrahim.

Take these and leave. Come on.

As you command, Pasha.

Let me take those.

La hawla Wela quwwata
illa billahil-Aliyyi i-Azeem.

My Allah Grant me patience!

My Pasha.

What happened, Ishak?

Welcome, Pasha.

Thank you.

What are you angry about?

How should I not be, Pasha?

Timarlis.

They keep complaining.

Come, sit.

Money is an enemy
and a friend to people.

After seeing the comfort
of Timar, coming from w*r..

...the soldiers keep complaining.

They want no wars
to be made after that.

Yes.

You're correct, Pasha.

Well said.

They complain about what
they lost in the conquest.

And what is it about?

Kapikulu took payment.

"We both gave our lives,
raised soldiers and couldn't..”

""..Take our taxes!" They say.

There, Ishak, there.

Then, you're done for good.

Really, Pasha?

Really.

What is it?

Now, our Sultan will
attend the council himself.

I believe that he wishes to walk
to Pontus after what happened.

-Really?

What about the construction?
The state of the treasury?

Many of our men lost
their lives in the conquest.

They seek support from me.

Right?

That's what I'm saying.

However, you know the Sultan.

He does not like excuses.

He wants everything to
be done as he commands.

Yes.

May Allah prevent, if he asks me,
"how many Timarli will you bring?"

And what will I say?

I can say it, but the
numbers would not be good.

Don't think about it.

You won't be the
one to think about it.

It is easy to say.

What will I do, then?

Halil Pasha..

...you are an experienced man.

Tell me how will
I get through this.

Let me tell you, Ishak.
Make an edict and dismiss..

...all the timars you can..

...before the council.

Then what?

The newcomers will wish to expand
their timars, to prove themselves.

And present them to the council.

I will approve it myself.

Alright, Pasha.

Anything else?

There is no need for more.

Those who think
their Timar is coming..

...will ask you how many
soldiers will you need..

...before you even ask.

May Allah make
you prosper, Pasha.

As there was a saying.

A mind can be
greater than the other.

No, astaghfirullah.

I do have one too, but still.

I am sure of it.

Still, I owe you.

Are you hungry?

Let us eat something.

Really?

Let us eat, then.

Ibrahim!

To keep it short..

...when our Sultan
sees what he has done..

.Our Sultan will see
Candarli's real face.

My heart doesn't accept
what you said, Zaganos Pasha.

As making plans
behind our Sultan..

...would only fit to Candarl..

Clashing with our enemy in
open field wouldn't fit us either.

Aren't we doing just that?

Thank Allah, we have the courage
to face our enemy face-to-face.

Still, shouldn't we
make the pincer move..

...to surprise our enemy?

This is w*r.

That is what I'm saying.

w*r, argument and politics
are all different things.

We always clashed
behind the lines with Halil.

And we always lost.
Why do you think?

Why?

The field of politics is different.
That's why.

Now I understand that
defeating Halil at the council..

...is to be just like Halil.

If we are to turn into a more
fierce demon while fighting one..

.What would make
us different, Pasha?

If the era of Halil will end like this
I am ready to turn into anything..

...for the good of the state.

We saw what we saw.

And heard what we heard.

Now tell me.

Are you with me?

Or not?

I hope we didn't
tire you, my Hunkar.

My sheikh.

Our duty has finished.

The entrusted is now
within it's rightful owner.

Now, the road awaits us.

Your admission has helped
us up whenever we fell.

We were in flames and
found relief in your shadow.

Astaghfirullah.

The cause in our hearts
bloomed thanks to you.

May you prosper, my sheikh.

If we had any hand in it, we
are most pleased, my Sultan.

You grew as you put effort.

Your roots has
reached everywhere.

Your branches has
hugged the world.

Now, it is time for
them to bear fruits.

Eyvallah.

Still, where will
we find relief..

...when we are in flames now?

Instead of making
this city Islambol..

...why are you departing
to Goynuk, my sheikh?

Our duty ends here, Mehmed.

Our duty has ended after
the walls are breached.

You do not fall back
from your cause.

Follow Allah's
cause with fidelity..

...so that he may send you
faithful soldiers to aid you.

Aameen.

Now, Islambol is in your hands.

And you are in
your brothers' hands.

May Allah aid you in your cause.

Eyvallah, my sheikh.

Eyvallah.

Eyvallah.

Samil of Chepnis, you say?

I've known his
father, Kara Mursel.

After he became a martyr,
his son took his legacy.

If he is as Valiant as his father, he
will overcome every hardship evelallah.

If we go to Samil
before Pontus port..

...he will accompany us.

He will not accompany us alone.

As you know.

He has ears everywhere.

Some information is needed.

Like what?

If Aleksandros intended to
kidnap a shahzade in city square..

...he must've gotten support.

Who do you suspect, Ali Bey?

I do not wish to
blame anyone yet.

That is why, I will ask
Samil of the situation here.

Who is the ally of Aleksandros.

He must've heard something.

Let us learn that and
report to our Sultan.

This is the work of Turk men.

They are ahead
of us, to be honest.

When you wear the hilat..

.We will admit they're
ahead of politics as well.

Do not rush it.

Will you not wear the hilat?

Whether I do or not will
depend on Agamemnos.

If he brings Bayezid,
there will be no need.

If he cannot, the only
thing that will ensure my life..

...will be that hilat over there.

If that happens, then we will sit
back and watch Turks eat each other.

So, I want your
swords to be sharp..

...and your horses to be ready.

Let our ships to be ready
and full of ammunition.

That is what I say.

Because I gave a command.

Because I gave a punishment.

And if Aleksandros does not
bow down to my punishment..

...the w*r will be nigh.

My Hunkar, if you see it fit,
I would like to have a few words.

As you may now, we just
got out of a difficult w*r.

Some time is needed for
us to prepare for a new w*r.

And that time will be years.

We know you, Pasha.

You are a cautious man.

Whenever we talk about w*r,
you keep on babbling about caution.

However, everyone
saw how wrong you were.

I know, my Hunkar.

I know that you no longer
trust me after the conquest.

However, any w*r against
Pontus will unite Greeks..

- ...with Akkoyunlu, and that will be..
- Enough, Pasha.

Enough.

Whenever I see a colorful
dream, you paint it black.

My Sultan

forgive me.

However, Halil Pasha is right.

You know the state of the
treasury, it is getting few.

Thanks to our grand vizier Pasha,
he sacrificed his own treasury..

...to city's construction,
so that soldiers do not.

What are you trying
to say, Zaganos?

Are you holding
back from w*r as well?

Of course not.

What I am trying to
say is that, Halil Pasha..

...speaks the truth this time.

Hurrying now will
put us into trouble.

That is what I say.

So you tell me to make
peace with those who..

...threatened my
shahzade in my city?

Chepni beys are here, my Bey.

Talk about w*r to the
Chepni, then sit and watch.

Welcome, my Bey. Welcome.

Thank you.

Is Shamil Bey not here?

He had a duty, my Bey. He said he
will arrive in time with Allah's consent.

He also ordered us
to host you tonight.

Eyvallah.

I don't recognize you,
my Valiant. Who are you?

My name is Selami, my Bey.

We joined the beys
to reach martyrdom.

I fight with Shamil Bey.

Selami. May you reach martyrdom.

Aameen my Bey. Inshaallah.

Come on now, without wasting time,
lead the way and show us the rooms.

This way, here, my Bey.

Then I am asking you.

Should the blood of valiants like Saltuk
martyred in the city we conquered...

...and hatuns like
Fatima who were...

At the age of getting married and who died
covered in blood be left on the ground?

So that you are bowing your heads and if
your hearts burn, then why do you resist?

Tell me Ishak. Do you
say the Timar holders resist?

Never, my Sultan, never.

If a Timar holder resists you,
it means he does not deserve his Timar.

Then listen carefully.

My will is that preparations
for the w*r start immediately.

First, the preparations
will be complete.

And our sword will not only be drawn toward Pontus,
but also to unite the east before turning to the west.

When the time
comes, it will strike.

From now on, the age of conquest
has started for us in both west and east.

To stop, rest, or get
tired is Haram for us.

Now let's talk
about your duties.

- Ishak Pasha.
- My Sultan.

I want you to...

...prepare all the roads and Bridges for my
army in that direction without missing a point.

I don't want any
problems on land.

Also, prepare the number of
cavalry from the Timar holders.

Don't worry, my Sultan.

Not even a single stone will touch
our horses' hooves, with Allah's consent.

Bahadir Pasha.

I expect the same
care from you at sea.

You will personally prepare the
shipyard to surround Pontus from the sea.

All the levents in our shipyard
are working, my Sultan.

We will add 60 new
galleys to our fleet.

Good.

- Zaganos Pasha.
- My Sultan.

You will sit with the treasurers and
calculate all the expenses of the battle.

What is needed?
Where can we find it?

I want a detailed
report about all this.

As my Sultan orders.

Don't worry.

Sahabettin Pasha...

I will give your duty later.

Now, the duty of
the grand vizier.

Managing all this including the
w*r preparations is your duty.

You will lead the whole process.

I want no trouble, no mistake,
no delay, and you must know this.

As our great Hakan commands.

w*r is at the door.
I wore my armor.

How is it? Do you like it?

If you knew who was coming,
you wouldn't be so calm.

Who is coming?

Evrenosoglu Ali
and Malkocoglu Bali.

And Shamil from Chepnis.

If they sent an envoy... I thought
Agamemnon would succeed.

What about Yorgo? Is he dead?

Yes.

So, you defeated another rival on
the way to becoming the Megaduke.

You don't understand how serious this
is. We know the intention of the envoys.

Either they will tell you to bow
or they will cut your head off.

To tell me that, they
need to stand before me.

But they won't live long
enough to stand before me.

Things are already complicated.

Will you drag the empire to the
edge of the abyss by k*lling an envoy?

Yes, they will die.

But neither I nor anyone
from our side will k*ll them.

Since they took Shamil on the
road, they are coming from Kerasus.

True.

They will land at the
port of the Candarogullari.

Our soldiers will follow them.

And at the right place,
they will k*ll them.

They will die, and the
Ottomans will gain a new enemy.

Did you start learning Latin
and we didn't know about it?

I was wondering why
I didn't understand it.

Look at you. You even
got a thumb ring made.

Allow me, my shahzade,
let me help you.

Yes, now they said I will sh**t arrows
with the thumb method and use a thumb ring.

Why is that, did they tell you?

They said this is the Turk men way,
but I don't understand the difference.

Come then.

This is the method for
sh**ting arrows faster.

Our ancestors used this way to defeat
many armies and conquer many castles.

And there is also the
Hunkar's sh**ting method...

...but that will be taught to
you when the time comes.

My Sultan, Ishak
Pasha wants to see you.

Let's see what
my Pasha will say.

What happened
at this hour, Pasha?

My Sultan, my shahzade.

I really don't
know how to say it.

Pasha, sometimes I think you
are no different than my Bayezid.

Since you came all the way here,
will you leave without saying anything?

It's about the turkmens,
my Sultan. Turkmens.

What happened to the turkmens?

They say they came to Constantinople
and just sat down doing nothing.

They want to work.

They say, forgive me, "we were
nomads, but we have become old maids".

Turkmens need a Turkmen's duty.

Let them come to the place I tell
them tomorrow. You too, go now.

As you order, my Hunkar.

What will we do now?

Let's look for
something new, come on.

They say the heart of a
Turk is relieved in two ways.

First with the tawhid...
- Then with a turku [song].

And if they are
playing the kemenche...

Do you know the kemenche?

We know everything that
belongs to Turks, my Valiant.

What we call "kabak kemane' in the Tengri mountains
is called "kemenche'" in the black sea highlands.

They carved the gray wolf into it as
well. When a man hears this sound...

...he draws his sword and
walks alone toward the enemy.

That's why its
sound is so powerful.

Sometimes it brings a
storm, sometimes a flood.

Does a flood await
us too, Ali Bey??

You mean Akkoyunlu?

Maybe not today, but
tomorrow the real flood will come.

Do you think our Hunkar set up a tent
for valiants like you here for no reason?

When the flood comes, you will be the first
to stand against it, with Allah's help.

Eyvallah Ali Bey.

Candarli Pasha
ordered his arrest.

You may leave. Wait for my word.

As you order, my Pasha.

Selamun aleykum.

Ve aleyna aleykum selam.

Come, sit.

What happened my Pasha?

Did your birds bring news?

Candarli is searching for Notaras using all
his trusted men up to the Serbian border.

He is checking all the inns.

He ordered him to be arrested
and reported immediately.

If he is making such noise, then this time Candar
hi doesn't want to leave anything to chance.

He wants to k*ll Notaras
with his own hands.

Looks like it. Right.

Then let's give
Candarli what he wants.

What are you thinking, Zaganos?

Is the inn near the lake on
the Simre road still there?

Yes.

Good.

Then let's not make
the old wolf tired.

A spy near that area will
give the news he wants.

When he hears it,
he will go to the inn.

Do you think he will go?

As soon as he hears Notaras
is there, he will fly there.

You said it yourself,
he is an old wolf.

But would such a man
fall into such a trap?

Why do you think I kept on the
right side of him at the council?

I made him feel good.

He is not expecting a
game from us. Don't worry.

Inshaallah it
happens like you say.

We can enter his
den, Zaganos Pasha.

But once he turns around, no
one knows who he will attack.

We'll see. We'll see.

In the morning, you said
you were strong like a lion.

Now you take one step
and stop for three minutes.

We can place you in our
Mehter band if you want.

Do you never forget
anything, Pasha?

I don't. I don't
forget confessions.

I don't forget revenge or blood.

What about the
blood of Agamemnon?

When did you set
your eyes on him?

You have bitten him
and struck your claw.

I followed my prey.

The Sultan caught
him and cut off his head.

That man must have been brave,
since he stood against us alone.

It's not as you think, Kurtcu.

He had Pontus behind him
when he came to face us.

Pontus?

Right.

Pontus.

And this Agamemnon
demon caused a w*r now.

The treasury is empty. The soldiers
are tired. But the Hunkar insists on a w*r.

Our Hunkar doesn't
know how to sleep or rest.

He always wants to fight.

I cannot say I'm surprised.

Kurtcu Dogan, what do you
say? What do the Janissaries say?

That is what we
are curious to hear.

Why are you asking me, Pasha?

If the Janissaries are
pleased, it is thanks to you.

If you had not donated your wealth, they
wouldn't have got their share of the spoils.

That is why, from now on, the
words they speak will be your words.

Whatever you say, they
will say the same thing.

Astagfirullah.

We just fulfilled our duty
of greatness, Kurtcu Agha.

You were already a great man in the eyes
of Janissaries, how, you are even greater.

Wherever they look now, they will see
only you. They will hear no one but you.

As I said, for me,
this was a duty.

We just showed our greatness.

There are only two roads
the Ottomans can follow, sir.

Since Chepnis are with them, they will
come through the northern forest road.

That means they
cannot come here soon.

You should start placing your
soldiers in position right away.

As you order sir.

And tell your soldiers. For every Turk who
is k*lled, they will get a pouch of gold.

Yes sir.

May you prosper, Selami Bey.

You've become
a kin to our cause.

Eyvallah all Bey.

Which direction will we head to?

There are two ways, my Bey.

South road will take longer.

That is why we will head north.

Northern road is shorter.

However, it is a
little bit more tough.

We will head through that
road even if it is difficult.

We do not seek comfort.

You've heard
Selami Bey, Alperen.

Tell the valiants.
It is time to move.

Time to move!

Prepare yourselves!

Come on.

We shall leave.

What did you do, Julius?

Is everything ready? -Yes, sir.

I've placed the scouts.

Good.

They'll be here soon.

I do not want any mistakes.

Nor any prisoners.

If you do not wish Pontus to
be the same as Constantinople..

- You'll k*ll them all}

do not forget. Each head
is worth a sack of gold.

You know innkeeper Hasim.

I do.

He is a trustworthy man.

He saw your goodwill too.

Was Notaras at his inn?

Yes, my Pasha.

The news just came.

That is the road
to Brankovic's land.

Why would Notaras
flee to Serbians?

Notaras' strength on orthodox
Serbians is strong, my Pasha.

- It seems..
- Mara Hatun is with her father.

Brankovics will
not host Notaras.

No way.

It seems he does not have
any other choice, Pasha.

I would've head to
Pontus if I were him.

Or to Mora.

Atmaca.

Maybe there is
something else about this.

If you wish, I can send a man
to confirm the news, Pasha.

Candarl.

You think he believed
the news we sent him?

What do you think he'll do?

Will he take the bait?

Of course, he will
first stop and examine.

Then, he will fiddle
with it. See what's inside.

He will think about it.

He needs to smell it too.

However, he cannot be sure..

...without biting it.

That is why, he will
go and see for himself.

What if he sees, suspects
and does not open his mouth?

It doesn't matter
what Notaras says.

What's important is
what Candarh will say.

If things don't go
in Candarli's favor..

...he'll be as silent as a mouse.

However, if things go his way..

...you can't make him shut up.

Then he'll be a loudmouth.

Here, we have the feast.

Everything's here.

It's just up to him
to come and eat.

Right, Sahabettin?

Come on, eat.

It's not like we'll
just eat apples.

Enjoy.

The road is as difficult
as you said, Selami Bey.

Very rough.

You sound like you had a
comfortable life on the hills, Bali Bey.

You shouldn't have heard this place
as your duty lies elsewhere, my Bey.

However, you must've
heard of Aleppo.

Of course, Selami Bey.

There is a place
like that there.

A big mountain to rest
under the shadow of.

The name is "mountain of
Turk men" as turkmens live there.

This place is just like that.

Hard, rough.

A grave to many valiants.

However, a beacon of hope
to many oppressed as well.

Our ancestors
said it right, selam..

No shortage of evil on this
earth and valiants from Oghuz.

Let infidels unite and
rain upon us like rain.

When our bent swords leave their
sheathes, we do not change our road.

Eyvallah, my Bey.

No.

Half a day's trip.

The man will go, see it
for himself then come back..

That cannot happen.

We will lose Notaras by then.

No.

Then allow me to cut
his breath myself, Pasha.

A wolf's hide is thick as it
gets his hands dirty, Atmaca.

I have not grew old yet.

Horses sweat, lions roar!

- However, Pasha..
- Besides, Notaras..

...is a valuable enemy.

His position was equal
to mine at the time.

There is a tradition
to enmity as well.

We need to obey lit.

Do not do this, Pasha.

Allow me prepare some valiants.

Let them accompany you.

What is it?

Do you think I can
not best Notaras?

Hold on, my Valiant.

Hold on! I tell you,
I have not grew old.

Astaghfirullah, my Pasha.

- I only wish to..
- Just get me someone to prepare my horse.

I will be there until sundown.

And be back until sunset.

Just make my
absence not noticeable.

As you command, Pasha.

Atmaca, I will get out
from the gate of Basileus.

Handle the guards
there. Try to make..

...my absence..

...as less noticeable
as possible.

As you command, my Pasha.

Farewell.

Do we have a long way?

Only a few road will
be left after this forest.

Evrenesoglu Bey.

What happened, Bali Bey?

Are you tired?

Of course not, Ali Bey.

I don't know. You
look like you are.

If you wish, you can stay.
We'll come back for you.

Of course, you found a
patient person like me.

Go ahead, make
your fun, Ali Bey.

Now!

Stay sharp!

Ambush!

Take your guard!

Protect yourselves!
Keep your eyes peeled!

Who are they, Selami Bey?

Candarogullari's men?

We will walk soon, my Bey!

Come on!

Come on, don't stop!

They will all die soon.

Attack!

Repeat the last sentence.

The beauties of life
complete with friendship.

When friendship is no more,
no joy in life is complete.

So, Cicero..

...does he mean, the
meaning of life is friendship?

What do you say?

You know the best, my Hunkar.

My Hunkar.

Hold on.

My Hunkar.

Yes, Yusuf?

Vlad Tepec wishes
for your audience.

Don't make him wait.

Let him in.

You may leave.

Alright, leave.

The great Hunkar, the Sultan
of the world, ruler of Rome..

...conqueror of Islambol, grand
conqueror, Fatih Sultan Mehmed Khan!

Hadhrat.

Hadhrat!

What are you doing, Vlad?

Get up.

A brother gives a hug now.

So after all these years.

Forgive me, brother.

I couldn't come.

Let us catch up.

Cicero.

You haven't changed
a bit, Mehmed.

Always books.

It seems you also
haven't changed.

You used to not
like books as well.

Correct.

Are you hungry?

Yusuf!

Like a wolf.

I know.

My Hunkar.

Have a feast prepared.

Sarmale.

With meat stew.

My Vlad likes it.

As you command, my Hunkar.

Hold on, my valiants!

Come on!

Come on, valiants!

Hold on, valiants! Few left!

I will hang your head
to the gates, you devil!

You will die like the rest!

Do not try.

You infidel!

I am not afraid of death!

Selami!

Selami. Selami!

I've come and went, Evrenesoglu.

Hold on.

Hold on, my Valiant.

You will be alright.

I've had one life.

And I gave it to
the cause of Allah.

Ashadu an la..

Pasha.

Atmaca.

I thought of Atmaca [hawk]
And here is Dogan [falcon].

Can't even recognize
birds in this age.

However, I know you, Pasha.

Whenever you wear this uniform..

...then you go to
do business alone.

Who told you that I
am going on the road?

Not Atmaca.

Which bird sang?

I've heard from my cranes.

They've heard that you
will exit from this gate.

They told me.

Are you heading alone?

Tell me, Pasha. To where?

The road is a secrecy.

However, I am not alone.

If you take your men as companions,
that would count as being alone.

Don't you know that
traveling alone is dangerous?

Even if you have the most
goodwill, only bad things come..

...to those who travel alone.

If you do not trust Kurtcu,
trust my worried heart.

I need to be on my way.

Get out of my way,
so that I may leave.

Don't do this, Pasha.

Listen to the word of a friend.

Listen to the word of an Agha.

Even if you don't listen to
any of them, listen to a brother.

Stop where you are going.

Stay where you are.

Get out of my way, Kurtcu Dogan.

Come on!

So I was destined to see
the end with you, Ali Bey.

May our lives be sacrificed to
the owner of this cause, Bali Bey.

Hepsini oldurun.

Shamil!

That is Shamil!

The world is one day!

And that day is today!

Time to get on the field!

Attack, my wolves!

Attack!

Now, we are death
and the edict, attack!

Mustafa!

Get that dog!

Mercy!

Mercy, don't do this.

Mercy is given to
those who deserve it!

You only deserve..

...justice.

Justice!

It's been a long time
since we came together.

Thank you, my Valiant.

You came just
in time like Khidr.

My Bey...

Bali Bey.

I guess we are a bit late.

I am sorry, Ali Bey.

You came right on time, my
Valiant. If you hadn't come...

Selami.

Where is Selami, al
Bey? I can't see him.

Selami.

Brother...

Selami.

My Valiant...

My brother...

Which infidel caused this?

You must have missed the yahni.

This is not yahni. This
is Sarmale. Sarmale.

You took our yahni, changed
its name and called it Sarmale.

Brother...

Anyway.

You are the Sultan now.
No one can oppose to you.

If someone does,
I'll cut off his head.

I know.

We used to fight a lot
about this, Mehmed.

I still think the same.

We heard that you followed our order
and what you did to the Voivode of Bogdan.

Mara Hatun is
precious to both of us.

I know very well what
she means to you.

Any wrong done to
her is done to both of us.

I only did what was
necessary, brother.

Good.

Don't worry about the
princes in Rumelia anymore.

They will not
dare to unite again.

Thank you brother.

My Hunkar, Zaganos
Pasha wants to see you.

Tell him to come later.

He says it's urgent.

I missed my Lala. If you
allow me, I want to see him.

Alright.

My Sultan.

Welcome, my most
mischievous student.

Thank you Lala.

You have aged since we last met.

And you have gained
weight at a young age.

Tell me, Lala.

What is this urgent matter?

My Sultan, we found
the trace of Notaras.

Then bring him to me
quickly. Why are you waiting?

He is not in our hands yet, but
we know where he is, my Sultan.

If you order, we will reach
him before Halil Pasha.

Why, Zaganos? If Halil Pasha is
after him, why should we go after him?

Forgive me, my Sultan.

I have been following
Halil Pasha for some time.

I felt that he wanted to find
Notaras before me. I wondered why.

Tell me Lala.

What did you learn that makes
your heart worry so much?

We stopped the spy
who came, my Sultan.

We read Halil Pasha's note.

If he wanted to bring Notaras to
you, he would have sent someone.

But he didn't. Clearly,
he has another plan.

Look, Zaganos... we must not doubt
about him if there is no reason for that.

Maybe he is worried about his safety.
He waits so the guards can bring him.

In the end, this is
also a precaution.

No, my Sultan.

I also wished that was
the case, but it is not.

But after he sent the spy, he went out
of the walls himself with his two men.

He is going there, my Sultan.

Are you sure, Zaganos?

What could be his goal in this?

Clearly, there is an
unfinished issue between them.

Something that cannot be
written in a note or told to someone.

Dogan Agha.

Imagine that Candarl
Pasha is dead.

And you are putting his
belongings into that chest.

May Allah forbid, Agha.
Why would you say that?

We say what we
feel, not what we wish.

If you don't want my feelings to come
true, tell me what you know, Atmaca.

Tell me. Where did the Pasha go?

I know nothing, Agha.

You are like the Kiramen on his
right and the Katibin on his left.

You hear and remember
everything he says.

Are you saying you do
not know this, Atmaca?

That book only opens in the
afterlife. Don't insist, Agha.

Listen to me well. Carefully.

There is a feeling in me.

It can break a mountain.

There is a worm inside me.
It is eating my heart slowly.

I am telling you that there is
something wrong in this matter.

Tell me what you know so we can pull Halil
Pasha out of this before he gets hurt.

Why did you ambush us?

Speak. Or else...

Alexandros sent us.

Infidels...

You were going to k*ll us in Candaroglu
lands and make us enemies, right?

So you could make the turkmens fight each other and
continue your evilness that lasted for centuries, right?

My Bey, the intentions of this
infidel Aleksandros is apparent.

You stay behind. I'll
go with the valiants.

We do not wait for
death, Samil Bey.

We walk towards it!

Aleksandros will
soon learn that.

Stop!

Don't do it!

Hold on!

Stop, I've told you everything!

It seems you forgot what you
taught us as you grow older, Lala.

Remind me if I do.

What is it that I forgot?

Patience first.

You can't stay still.

If you were to worry this much,
you should've faced Candarli..

...instead of seeking
our Hunkar's audience.

Do not talk as if you
do not know Halil.

No one but Sultan
can stop Candarli.

Yes.

However, he can be k*lled.

With Candarli's ways as well.

About ways, you've failed
being respectful again.

You did not give us the
lesson of respect, Lala.

You also gave us the lesson
of knowing our enemies.

You attack your
enemy using his ways.

Sultan Mehmed is
aware of everything.

I fear that you can
lose your own head..

...while trying to
get Candarli's.

I like you.

You have taught me well.

Look here, Vlad.

Make way!

Hadhrat Fatih
Sultan Mehmed Khan!

Are there any news?

Not yet.

However, ♪ should
come with heads soon.

Let him come.

Why did we do this on Candarlioglu
lands instead of Akkoyunlu lands?

Akkoyunlus are our allies.
It would've been easier.

If we had done so,
we would've used..

...Akkoyunlus.

Uzun Hasan would not want
that and withdraw his support.

Mehmed, Mehmed.

Now, deal with
turkmens around you.

The envoys of Sultan
of Ottomans, Mehmed.

Hadhrat emperor.

Emperor Aleksandros
is waiting for you.

We wish to see him as well.

Follow me.

- You brought honor, my Pasha.
- Astaghfirullah.

Thank you, Hasim Effendi...

However, we've heard that a
great illness befell to your wife?

May she rest in peace.

Thank you, my Pasha.

Take this. I know you
have many to feed.

Spend this for them.

This is not sadaqa, effendi..

We are great because we share with
those who make heroic deeds happen.

If you need any
more, do not hold back.

Did Notaras eat?

He didn't eat
anything, my Pasha.

It seems he does
not want to be seen.

How is he?

Why did he come here?

He is worried and scared.

It seems he waits for someone.

Whatever, we do not
need who he is waiting for.

Where is his room?

Left side upstairs.

On the left room.

Check around the building.

Then come back to
prepare him for questioning.

We will stay here
with Hasim Effendi..

Did you hear?

The left room.

Don't make any sound.

The ruler of land and seas,
the conqueror of Constantinople..

...the ruler of Turks,
the Hunkar of Islam..

...Fatih Sultan Mehmed
Khan's edict is here.

What does Mehmed want?

To end what
Agamemnon has started.

To behead the ones
who thought of this.

Agamemnon tried to do something
by himself and failed at the end.

What does that
have to do with us?

Agamemnon is related, as
much as the ambush happened..

...in Candaroglu lands.

Do you think we are
blind, Aleksandros?

Watch your words.

Do you think this is the palace of
Constantinople and I am Konstantinos?

Ali Bey?

To us, a jackal..

...a dog and a fox is the same.

If you do not wish to share the same
faith with Konstantinos, bend your knee.

Ask forgiveness and obey.

We only obey to
Akkoyunlu Uzun Hasan.

The hilat I'm
wearing is his hilat.

If you have a word to say to
us, it is his ear that will hear it.

We have a promise.

And we won't turn back.

Your lying tongue
will not hold promises.

There is a nest of
lies in your mouth.

We know that.

We understand that you set a trap for us and
tried to make us enemies with the Candaroglus...

...with the help of Akkoyunlus.

But we are not
afraid of anything.

Not just you, even if all
the world stands against us..

...we will not take
a step back in fear.

Then what are you waiting for?

For you to come to your senses.

And accept to pay tribute and become
our vassal because of what you did.

You either accept this and survive..
- Or?

Or you die by the
string of this bow.

Come closer.

You are in the presence of
the Sultan. Bow your heads.

Is Halil Pasha downstairs?

I am asking you. Answer me.

He is downstairs.

He is waiting for us to get
Notaras ready for questioning.

My Sultan, what is your order?

Go downstairs.

Tell Halil Pasha that
there is no problem.

If he finds out that I am here, I
will hang you with your own guts.

Go.

Stop, Evrenesoglu.

You cannot leave this
palace with such disrespect.

If you do not
stop, you will die.

Did you say I'd die?

The turban on our heads
carries our shroud, emperor.

Stop him! Catch him!

Come on, Shamil
Bey! Protect Ali Bey!

Guards! Guards!

Drop your swords..

...or Evrenesoglu will die!

I told you not to compare
me with Konstantinos.

It's like we are keeping you waiting
here, my Pasha. Would you...?

No, Hasim.

The fewer people see us,
the better. I am good here.

Who is this?

My middle son, my Pasha.

Mashaallah.

What is your name? Tell me.

Mehmed.

A beautiful name. Mehmed...

Mashaallah.

You named him
after our Sultan, right?

The eldest is Halil.

Really...

Bismillah.

Mehmed, may your
life flow like water.

Thank you.

Tell me.

Is he ready?

He is ready, my Pasha.

Good. You stay here.

I'll come back soon.

Mehmed, my lion. May your
life be longer than your brother's.

This much, this.. And this...
And all the way to the roof.

Mashaallah to you.

We didn't agree on this, Halil.

You weren't supposed
to run away either.

Since you lied and ran from
me, how you will pay the price.

We both know I'm here not because I
ran away, but because of what I know.

Wrong.

What you know is not a danger to me. What
will bring your end is what you don't know.

Like not knowing politics.

If you are the grand vizier,
I was once a Megaduke.

Tell me, what do you know
that you can advise me?

Or what do I not know?

Megaduke Notaras.

Even on the edge of death,
you don't know your limits.

You play games with everyone.

But you can't
play with everyone.

I told you before.

Playing with the
wolf ends with blood.

You want to take your revenge from me because I
secretly worked with Sultan Mehmed behind your back.

Revenge?

I am not you.

I don't seek revenge, but I look
for two things in those around me.

Loyalty and foresight.

Like I said, you're making
me pay for my disloyalty.

I said two things,
Lucas Notaras.

You don't have foresight either.

Do you know what foresight is?

It is seeing the
truth behind things.

Your end has come because you could not
see that I am the true owner of the state.

The true owner, huh?

Even though you shed so much blood, you
could not make Mehmed give up the conquest.

You are just a cruel man who stains
his hands with blood for his ambitions.

Is the k*ller of an emperor talking
to me about shedding blood?

Even I, who risked k*lling an emperor
for the state, am not this arrogant.

Tell me, what did you do to
become the owner of the state?

Lucas...

Do you know what it
means to lose a child?

You don't!

You even sent your daughter
away to not feel that pain.

But I sent my own children
to death with my own hands.

Who?

I k*lled my son, my Suleyman, and
made my innocent children k*ll each other.

Do you think the blood of those poor ones are
the same as the blood of nobles, Candarli?

Lucas Notaras...

I cut the tongues of those who
say bad things about my children.

I am not telling you that
you are blind for no reason.

You have forgotten how to
rule because you kept k*lling.

The blood of the nobles, huh?

Let me tell you a story...
Let me tell you one. Listen...

A year or two ago, while Mehmed was away
for the Karaman battle, I raided the palace.

If Evrenos Bey had not arrived in
time and k*lled Mehmed's brother..

Ahmed was going
to be the Sultan.

Do you know what would have
changed if that had happened?

Nothing.

I would control him as well.

This is the difference
between us Notaras.

Even if you k*lled people,
you never knew how to rule.

Are you going to k*ll me just because
I couldn't see this, Candarli?

With all the things you know,
goodbye Notaras.

Who else did you k*ll Halil?

My Sultan.

The game is over.

So are the words.

You will pay for all
the things you have done.
