Post by bunniefuu »

Salahuddin.

While the soldiers you
brought here are dying...

...are you running away and
leaving them behind, Lord Judas?

I will make you pay
for all of it in Ibelin.

Unfortunately, you will
not have that chance.

You hid behind women and
set your eyes on Damascus.

The treacherous moves in
Damascus were not enough...

...you also tried to k*ll
my soldiers at the bridge.

Salahuddin, stop!

Let him go.

-Take me instead.
-I don't have to make a choice.

Before you is not the old Salahuddin.
And you are not the old Balian.

The trust between us is
dead. The mercy is dead.

Only sharpened
swords are between us.

Swords that will take the rights of
the oppressed from the oppressors.

This is your teacher's
last lesson for you.

Learn your lesson Balian.

Judas was the wise
man of Jerusalem.

I will make you pay
for the cruelty you did.

A real wise man works for good.

This evil man came to al-Quds
to cause fitna. And he succeeded.

But he could not see
the approaching end.

I was of course going
to take Idris' revenge.

If you had not come against me,
everyone would have been safe.

You set your eyes on Ibelin and
destroyed the bond between us.

-You even made your own brother your enemy.
-That traitor is not my brother.

Occupiers like you and...

...people who leave their da'wah
like him will share the same fate.

You are the one
who left the da'wah.

Your ambition made you blind.

You will pay the
price for ignoring me.

You unaware fool.

You shield yourself for
the enemy, is that true?

Are you not ashamed of
your father, your ancestors?

The truth will be revealed soon.

Balian protected me.

I will never leave him alone.

If you go further, I will not
be afraid to die or to k*ll.

Let's go, Balian.

-We will square accounts in Ibelin.
-There is no need to wait.

Here we are, face to face.
Let's fight one on one...

...and finish it here.

Do not let him trick you.

He is pulling you into a trap.

This... this is not right.

To be honest, I admire you.

Catching Lord Guy unprepared...

...who tried to k*ll Boru.

It was a smart plan.

But things like this happen.

It is god's game, William.

Every perfect plan
needs god's approval.

You are saying crazy things.

Denying is also a choice.

But you should know,
if you choose to deny...

...I will go to Lord
Guy from here and...

...tell him everything
I know in detail.

Princess.

I understand you
the best, as a woman.

Also, I assure
you, Guy's life...

...means as little to
me as it does to you.

Then you ask why
I saved him, right?

His life let us keep
a secret together.

We, secret keepers...

...are the most reliable
supporters for each other. Right?

What do you want? Tell us that.

I just wanted you to know
that your secret is safe with me.

Now that we are
keeping a secret...

...we have to help each other.

We will meet again
when that day comes.

Salahuddin is right, Boru.
There is no need to wait.

I will take Judas revenge
where his blood was spilled.

You made a good
decision, Balian.

I would not want you to see
your castle being conquered.

Do not do it, Balian.

This is not the
place for revenge.

Are you hiding
behind Boru, Balian?

Save your anger for the castle.

Your people need you.

My Sultan.

Chatillion's forces moved into
the village. May Allah forbid...

-...they might hurt the people.
-Their turn will come too, Halil.

First, I have to
finish my work here.

You cannot touch count Balian
unless you walk over our dead bodies!

My Sultan, we don't have
much time. We have to hurry.

Wait for your time.

We will end this in Ibelin.

Now what?

We'll do whatever Maria wants.

For now, we have to.

While trying to get rid of Guy,
we fell into Maria's clutches.

Princess, this is
hard. I know that...

Yet I'll figure something out.

Maybe, I should have never asked
you to help me about this, William.

Princess, I am...

Damn it.

Marcus.

Lord Judas was my teacher
in the school of Bologna.

He's a great source of law and
logic. I learned a lot from him.

I had hundreds of students.

But if you ask me
how many I remember,

...I remember only a few.

Balian is one of them.

You're embarrassing me.

Balian!

My count, are you alright?

My grief for Judas
will never be gone.

He sacrificed himself
to show me the truth.

I understand that.

But now we have to move
on the path he showed you.

Ibelin needs you.

Old man is right.

We have to take action to
reinforce the defense immediately.

I think we have more
important things to do.

You knew it.

You knew everything
from the very beginning.

You betrayed us.

You don't know what you're
saying. Pull yourself together.

Judas died because of you.

You're blaming the
wrong Guy, Balian.

-My count, calm down.
-You stay out of this, Marcus.

Boru will pay for this defeat.

Boru Bey restored trust
by saving Balian's life.

Inshaallah, he did.

Boru Bey is walking
on the edge of a knife.

We were prepared during the ceremony.
Balian will get suspicious about that.

No matter how suspicious
he is, he won't give up on Boru.

Judas' death demoralized Balian.

My brother will get over
this trouble with his mind.

He'll work inside and
we'll do the same outside.

With Allah's will, we'll
conquer Ibelin soon.

Inshaallah.

Aameen.

When the attack begins, it
will be like hell, my Sultan.

How can we protect Boru and
Sayra Hatun during that chaos?

We'll make our moves
without putting them in danger.

My Sultan, what's your order?

Perform a harassing attack
on the castle with scouts.

We'll make the biggest move after
seeing the preparation in the area.

Just confess, Boru.

Tell me how you fooled
us and caused Judas to die!

-Come on!
-What do you want me to explain?

Everything happened
before your eyes!

I brought you information
and warned you.

I said Salahuddin wouldn't be
unprotected even during the ceremony.

- I told you to give up!
-Maybe, that was a part of the game!

Yes, I drew you into a trap
and then risked my life for you.

You think so?
You lost your mind.

I don't need mind anymore!

You first whisper
and then move over.

You are evil!

It hurts your heart.

But I'm not the one to blame
for your teacher's death. It's you.

It was your decision to attack.

My count, don't do this.

Is this how you
return my sacrifices?

Keep him under control, old man.

He doesn't know what he
is saying due to his grief.

The enemy is at the gate.

We can't protect
the castle like this.

Judas was the only person who
really looked after me in this life.

-I couldn't save him.
-For god's sake...

Don't be so hard on yourself.

If you have some
rest, you will feel better.

For a while, the communication
between us and Ibelin has been off.

I want you to go to Ibelin quickly
and find out what is going on.

Whatever you wish, your majesty.

My King, count Chatillon
wants to appear before you.

Let him in.

Right in time.

He's the Guy who will tell
us what is going on in Ibelin.

Your majesty.

Lord Guy.

I'm happy to see
you here and healthy.

What's going on in
Ibelin, count Chatillon?

We haven't got any
messages from you for a while.

Unfortunately, I have bad
hews for you my mighty King.

Count Balian's mistakes...

...caused Lord Judas to
be k*lled by Salahuddin.

-Is Lord Judas dead?
-Yes.

Yet there is more.

Count Balian trusts Boru
and is working with him.

-But this will...
-Boru?

What would he do in Ibelin?

Did Balian imprison him?

No, he isn't a prisoner.

Boru is in Ibelin as
count Balian's ally.

We don't have much
time here, Sayra.

We inside and my brother outside
will need to make this castle fall quickly.

Where do we start?

First, we need to find a way to
communicate with the army camp.

We have to place a man
in the tower of pigeons.

I'll get rid of the man in the tower.
Can you find someone we can trust?

I have someone in my mind.
He also has his own pigeons.

Good. You go out
and make preparations.

When I get rid of the man, Balian will
certainly bring a new pigeon's master.

I'll take care of the man on the
way. Our man will take his place.

Be cautious. When I find out the route,
one of bedouins will bring you the message.

-What if Balian gets suspicious?
-He's shaken with Judas' death now.

We have time until he
pulls himself together.

Come on.

Your majesty, please
forgive me. Please.

They told me you were
informed about Boru.

What does that mean?

Balian can't make such
an obvious mistake.

It isn't a mistake.

We should call it betrayal.

Mistake or betrayal...

You and count Chatillon
will go to Ibelin immediately.

Of course, your majesty.

Boru will appear before me here.

Of course, your majesty.

Besides, I will be expecting a detailed
explanation from count Balian about what happened.

Your majesty.

Scouts are the
devotees of our army.

The burden of the conquest
falls on their shoulders first.

They face the
enemy's wrath first.

Be careful about
any kinds of traps.

-As you order, my Sultan.
-As you order, my Sultan.

Scouts are ready
to move, my Sultan.

Waiting for your orders.

Go safely and return with
good news, inshaallah.

Castle gates, weak spots
of the walls, water Wells...

Transportation ways...

Do not ignore anything at all.

Alright, my Sultan.

No matter how much they are prepared,
we will find a way to get over, inshaallah.

Then your target is Ibelin.

May Allah bless your fight.

If you are eating, it
means life is going on.

Tell me. Do you still have
the same opinion about me?

If so, I have no place here.

I said those words
due to my grief.

But I had to think
of all possibilities.

What's your decision how?

We will keep working
together against Salahuddin.

We shouldn't fall into despair.
I have to do this for Lord Judas.

I'm happy that you
made the right decision.

I'll follow you in
this fight to the end.

Sir, I carried out the
duty you gave me.

What news about the enemy?

My count, unfortunately,
I don't have good news.

It seems what count Balian
did didn't make you angry.

Balian acted foolishly about Boru and offered
me a great chance on a silver platter.

You don't think I'll
be angry, do you?

Then we should use the
opportunity and take Boru.

And Ibelin, of course.

Lord Guy.

Actually, I wonder what makes
you so happy about Ibelin.

Count Balian and his mistakes.

What mistakes are
you talking about?

Doing business with
Salahuddin's brother Boru.

How come?

What business?

We're going to
Ibelin to find it out.

But we're sure of something.

Balian made the mistake of
his life and will pay a heavy price.

Now excuse me, Maria.

Maria.

Balian.

I hope you aren't making a mistake
that you can never make up for.

Sultan Salahuddin's
scouts have set out.

They have spread in
different spots of the castle.

They intend to spot the
weak points of the castle.

It means there is only a little
time until the big attack begins.

Does the castle have weak spots?

Sultan Salahuddin and his soldiers won't
be able to even get close to my castle.

How?

Come with me.

And see for yourself how brilliant
Lord Judas' mind was, Boru.

Everyone will be careful.

Shields must be ready
for a sudden attack.

Remember, we will find the blind
spots and weak parts of the walls.

Valiants...

...we will be the first
to attack this castle.

May our gaza be mubarak!

I cannot see any
defense preparations.

Even if you don't want to reveal your defense move,
your archers' must push the advance forces back.

Why don't you give an order?

Don't worry. Just watch
what is going to happen.

-Something is strange.
-They are almost at the castle walls.

Still, there is no defense
move on the walls.

When they come into
range, they will all show up.

It is obvious.

Damn it. This is a trap.

They hid traps under the ground.

They put traps all the
way to the castle walls.

What is this?

What kind of trap is this?

Balian!

What did you do?

How did you think of this?

We will take our injured soldiers!
We are retreating! Come on!

This is the proof of
Judas' unique intelligence.

It was his idea to strengthen the castle
defense with big traps hidden under the ground.

May god's mercy be on him.

You didn't say anything.

This is really smart.

This is how a wolf trap is made.

Salahuddin will have to make
huge effort to get past this trap.

My Allah, give me
strength to stand this.

You heard it right Maria.

Count Balian made a big mistake
by trusting Salahuddin's brother Boru.

Our holy King, as you can guess, count
Balian would not make such a mistake.

When Lord Guy brings Boru to
Jerusalem, everything will be understood.

I am sure there is
something else behind this.

Whatever the reason...

...while the defense of Ibelin is so
important for the future of Jerusalem...

...what Balian has
done is not acceptable.

Count Balian must have a
convincing explanation about this.

I hope so.

Otherwise, he will pay a very
heavy price for what he has done.

Come on!

Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry!

Come on!

Help! Come on!

What happened,
how did this happen?

The infidels blocked all the
roads with traps, my Sultan.

Go and tell the
doctors to come here.

-As you order my Sultan.

My Sultan.

I have never seen a trap like this.
Once they fall, they cannot get out.

My Sultan. They can't have done this in
a day. They must have made it long ago.

There is a thick layer on it. It
cannot be noticed from a distance.

If we do not take precautions, many soldiers will
die while walking to the castle, may Allah forbid.

Why did Boru not
know about this?

Apparently they hid it
from everyone, my Sultan.

It is impossible to
attack the castle this way.

There is no such thing as impossible,
Karakus. We must find a solution quickly.

Won't wheeled towers work?

The ground is rocky, the traps are
sharp, wheels cannot move on there.

Hurry!

Start working on the
solution without wasting time.

As you order, my Sultan.

You take care of the
wounded immediately.

Even if you set traps or dig Wells, you
won't be able to escape from me, Balian.

Just like you said in my dream.

Mother, I found the
mercy of the worlds.

And I became the wife of a
Valiant who follows his path.

I have good news for you.

Your daughter will soon
become a mother too.

Will I be able to
be a real mother...

...like you who shows
the right path to her child...

...even with her absence, and
hugs them with compassion?

You will.

Sit, my daughter.

A child takes color from their
mother's ink, my daughter.

You too, inshaallah,
will be a good mother.

You will be among
the best mothers...

...and color your child with
the color Allah will Grant you.

Inshaallah, my Valide.

Drink this.

My count, you called me.

The letter I had written earlier will
be sent to Jerusalem, to King Baldwin.

Yes my count.

This letter going
to Jerusalem...

I thought it would be better to wait before
informing King Baldwin about your presence here.

What is your purpose with this?

Remember, Boru, I am
the one who trusts you.

King Baldwin and the others still see
you as the brother of our greatest enemy.

What about now? What will happen
when Baldwin learns I am here?

Why do you think Chatillion went
to Jerusalem without looking back?

Baldwin would eventually learn everything
anyway. I could not hide it anymore.

Do not worry, you are
under my protection here.

But if you ever do something
that breaks my trust...

...I will punish you with my
own hands before Baldwin.

Hurry, ell. We are
going to Ibelin, to Balian.

Yes my Queen.

This visit must be kept secret.

Choose a few of your
most trusted men. That's all.

Balian...

Balian... your future in Jerusalem
depends on successfully defending Ibelin.

But you are about
to face King Baldwin.

Balian may have set
other traps, my Sultan.

If you order, our advance
forces can continue to explore.

It is dangerous but
necessary for caution.

We will not act without learning
Balian's next move, GokBoru.

If another bad incident happens,
the soldiers will lose hope.

Then we will follow the plan and
wait for news from Boru Bey. Right?

Boru must do his best
and take the pigeon tower.

If we manage to communicate with
the castle, everything else will be easier.

This was written to Salahuddin.

Sir.

What does this mean?

I...

The whole castle is surrounded
by hidden traps underground, huh?

Except for our exit point,
there is not a single way.

With the extra troops
coming from Jerusalem...

Salahuddin will be
stuck between two fires.

Good.

My count, I have bad news.

What happened?

I found this letter in the pigeon master's
room at the communication tower.

He is working for Salahuddin.

He wrote a letter informing him
about the preparations inside the castle.

Where is he now?

He is waiting to be
brought here for questioning.

You are making a
mistake. Let me go!

My count.

So, you are working
for Salahuddin, right?

My count, I swear to god, I...

This letter was
found on your desk.

This... this is not mine, sir.

Someone must have put it there.

Salahuddin.

That's what he does.

He knows very well how to buy men
from inside the enemy he will fight.

I did not betray you. My count.

Believe me, I do not know
Salahuddin or his men.

I swear to god, I did not do it.

Sir, we found this
in the master's room.

Damascus dinar.

So, this was my worth for you.

My count, that
not mine. Believe me.

I swear to god,
those are not mine.

Put him in the dungeon!
Both him and his helpers!

Believe me, they are not
mine! Please my count!

Salahuddin. No matter what you
do, you will not achieve your goal.

-Marcus.
-Yes my count.

Find a pigeon master who will take
charge of the communication tower.

Make sure of their loyalty this time.
-Yes my count.

Alright.

Is that the trap?

What kind of trap is that?

And you think you
are an engineer.

Look at the well
he is drawing...

Stop it Karategin..

Those are not ordinary traps. An
engineer must have made them.

It seems so.

It is difficult to get past
them with another tool.

Oh well... why are
you not listening to me?

There is no need
to think for hours!

Let's go and take the
animals of the villagers!

Let's send those
animals to the field first.

Let the animals die rather
than our soldiers get hurt.

The lives of the animals are entrusted to
us too, Karategin. How can you say that?

Iron...

Boots.

Iron boots!

Iron boots!

Qadi, Karakus, listen to me!

I found it! Let's
wear iron boots!

Let's wear iron boots on our feet
and go out into the field like that.

Iron boots?

Let's assume you
found iron boots.

How will you escape from the
enemy's arrows with all that weight?

Oh... then you find a solution.

You don't like anything I say.

Look at him... Qadi:..

Is he going to find a way? Is
he? He says he is an engineer...

Is he an engineer? He
cannot even draw a well!

He cannot draw anything!

Come on. Use your brain.

I will if you allow me!

You did not keep quiet for a
second! I cannot even think!

You cannot think? As if
your thoughts are smart...

Alright then, I am quiet... let's
see if you can find something.

If we depend on Karakus...

Lord Guy.

Balian trusts Boru too much.

And he believes that he can defeat
Salahuddin thanks to his information.

What do you think, Chatillon?

Is Boru really against
Salahuddin now?

-It seems so, but...
-But he carries the same blood with Salahuddin.

That won't matter
anymore after I get him.

What if Balian doesn't
want to give Boru away?

I hope Balian isn't so mad that he
will turn against King Baldwin for Boru.

Lord Guy, what if he is?

My count, as you ordered,

...I have found a
new pigeon's master.

He's on the way.

He will be in the castle soon.

Sir, Lord Guy and
count Chatillon are here.

They want to appear before you.

Chatillon is back from
Jerusalem with Lord Guy.

Let them in.

Lord Guy.

Even I was almost
worried about you.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

But you had better be
worried about yourself.

I don't think I'm not in a situation
I should be worried about.

Boru, brother of Salahuddin,
who tried to k*ll me.

I've heard that he is here.

You lied to me, Balian.

King Baldwin doesn't
even know about that.

It doesn't matter.

King Baldwin expects a detailed
explanation from you about Boru.

I've sent a message to our
King which explains the situation.

-What else?
-Count Balian.

I think you don't understand
the severity of this situation.

I want Boru immediately.

You want me, huh?

You should have k*lled
me when you had a chance.

You'll regret you didn't.

I will make you have
such great grief...

...that every day you
live, you will pray to die.

-Same words, always.
-Enough.

Boru.

Calm down.

Count Balian is showing effort
to defend his valuable friend Boru.

King Baldwin and I want Boru.

You have to give
him away, Balian.

Well, Qadi...

What a man you are!

Look at this engineer! He
brought ink here from Damascus!

That's my job, Karategin.

Alright, but wasn't
a bottle enough?

Why did you bring
so many bottles?

As if he would write a legend!

All of these have a
different place in the council.

This one, for example.

-Hajji ink.
-Hajji?

Why? What? Did it perform hajj?

Experienced calligraphers hang
the bottles on the camel's hump.

On the way to Hejaz, the bottle
shakes and the ink thickens.

It becomes a hajji.

When calligraphers come
back to their homelands,

...they write their most
valuable works with that ink.

It's very precious because only
the experts know it and it's rare.

For example, I write Sultan's
orders only with this one.

Well...

Give it to me.

Give me. Give it to me.

-Give it to me.
-Be careful.

Well... look at this.

Hajji, huh?

Good. I'll send my sword
and shield to hajj too.

I'll wash them with zamzam
water and sell it as the hajji sword!

Great idea, huh?

Engineer, you see?

You see my business mind?

Are you really an engineer?
You can't even draw a stream.

Give me Patience, my Allah.

Do no drink that! It's not like
the perfumes of countess.

Then promise me, Qadi.

You'll write a warrant
for me with this ink.

A shiny one for me.

-You promise?
- I promise.

-You promise?
- I do.

-You promise? Or I will drink this!
- I do!

Engineer, you heard
him. He promised.

Look at me.

Oh no...

What have you done, Karategin?

Hajji is gone.

-Help me keep my mind, my Allah.
-Well...

-All his efforts have gone to nothing.
-No.

I knew that was coming.

-It's alright.
-I knew it.

-No.
-I knew that was coming.

-No, not at all.
-All my efforts...

Thank you, my Allah.

Thanks for
inspiration, my Allah!

I swear this ink is a hajji!

-What?
-Well done, Karategin!

-What happened?
-Well done! Well done!

-What is it?
-I know, Qadi Fazil.

I know how to get rid of snares!

Thank you, my Allah.

You want Boru so much?

And you have to give him to us.

Maybe, you are right.

But I won't give him to you.

Because Boru isn't my
prisoner but my ally here.

Pull yourself together, Balian.

The man you call your ally...

...is Salahuddin's brother.

My decision is final. And I'll
take the whole responsibility.

I have to remind you that
King Baldwin gave strict orders.

That's between the King and me.

I told you, Lord Guy.

Count Balian is so blind that
he can't even see the truth.

The truth is that there is hostility
between Salahuddin and me.

But I don't need to prove
that for you or your King.

If you insist on taking me, draw
your sword if you have courage for it.

My decision is final.

Boru will stay here with me.

-Balian!
-Chatillon.

With this move, you put both
yourself and the whole Ibelin in danger.

Soon, we will meet again.

You got in trouble
because of me.

You are here because we have a common
enemy not because you are my friend.

Don't forget that.

The idea seems reasonable.
But how will it be possible?

Leave that part
to me, my Sultan.

First, we have to
find enough naphtha.

Then we'll turn into tar with
composite and pour it on the ground.

When tar gets cooler and hard,

...the snares will be useless.

Exactly.

If the composite can be
prepared in a short time,

...we can achieve this
before the enemy realize.

My Sultan, it's thanks to me.

-Tell him, Karakus.
-That's right, my Sultan.

I inspired them.

We lost the hajji ink
but the gift was greater.

Then it's your duty
to find naphtha.

Don't be worrying, my Sultan.

I will.

It won't be like the hajji one.

But it will be fine.

I know a place near
Hasran, my Sultan.

Send a message to Elyasa.

Tell him to buy all the
naphtha in the villages around.

As you order, my Sultan.

Let Balian think he stopped us.

We will make our own way.

I'm really sorry about
Lord Judas' death.

May god reward him with heaven.

I don't think you came here
from Jerusalem only to say this.

Lord Judas and
I had an alliance.

I want you to ascend the
throne instead of Lord Guy.

Just like Lord Judas wanted.

You're talking as if there weren't
already a King in Jerusalem.

Let's be realistic.

Sooner or later, his disease
is going to k*ll Baldwin.

-And then...
-All I care about right now...

...is protecting Ibelin
against Salahuddin.

Is that why you trust
Salahuddin's brother?

That's up to me.

Balian, the whole Jerusalem
is shaking with this news.

You should pull
yourself together.

-King Baldwin...
-I know Baldwin wants Boru too.

Before you, Chatillon and
Guy came here to take him.

What did you tell them?

That I wouldn't
give Boru to them.

You have to act smartly.

Guy will make use of this and
provoke King Baldwin against you.

You shouldn't let that happen.

Thanks for the advice.

Now excuse me. I
have a castle to defend.

I have to take care of that.

Look, Lord Guy.

I think...

...we should take Balian and
Salahuddin's brother from Ibelin.

Calm down, Chatillon.

We can't enter a castle of crusaders by
drawing our swords while it's under siege.

That won't do nothing
but helping Salahuddin.

So what now?

Will we go back to Jerusalem with
empty hands? What will we tell the King?

For now, we wait calmly.

We can't touch Boru
inside the castle.

You say we will crush
him when he goes outside.

Your men should stand on alert.

We should know when
Boru leaves the castle.

Henok, you heard
Lord Guy. Come on!

You go with him.

After we take Boru,

...I'll tell the King about Balian's
disobedience with great pleasure.

Collaborating with the enemy and
betraying the kingdom of Jerusalem.

Poor Balian. Poor...

Won't you eat?

-How much further?
-We'll be in Ibelin in an hour.

-We can take some rest if you're tired.
-No need.

I should appear before Lord
Balian and pledge loyalty in no time.

And I should present
the birds I trained for him.

Then I will rest.

Stop!

-Surround them!
-Come on!

What do you think you are doing?

Do you have a death wish?

You seem very tired.

You go have some rest.

We'll keep going for you.

The invitation
of Ibelin's count.

Take this and
change your clothes.

And enter Ibelin
as the new master.

Boru Bey is waiting for you.

You'll pay for this
with your lives.

You two.

Take the clothes of crusaders and
escort the bird man as his escorts.

Lock them somewhere remote.

They will be our
guests until Ibelin falls.

Stir well. Come on, harder.

Sulphur water.

Fish oil.

And then red-bud tree resin.

Stir from the deep.

Bring oil.

Here.

Oil...

Bismillah now.

My Allah, let us
achieve our goal.

You, Karakus. You Karakus
there... you Kara, Karakus.

You made us look like you!
Look at us! Come on Albiz!

I have a terrible backache!

What are those?

-Here.
-Mercy to your ancestors!

It's easy to say that! I understand
every blessing of my Gok Tengri but...

I still don't understand
what this black water is.

Yes, my Bey, I don't
understand it either! What is this?

Every born one dies, but what do you
think happens to their bodies Karategin?

What?

What remains of the creatures is this
water. It is both a fitna and a blessing.

The infidels made
Greek fire with it.

-They set the seas on fire with this. -They set
the seas on fire! But it just made my back hurt!

I carried all of these! I could
not ask our soldiers to carry them!

I carried all of these
to keep everyone quiet!

I carried... of course I carried all of
them! Who else was going to do it?

Do not complain, Karategin.
This naphtha will take us to Ibelin.

My Sultan, I don't know about that...
But I wish you put me on those traps...

I wish they stepped all over me and get past those traps.
It would be more comfortable for me. -Don't say that.

Look at you. You really
are kara[Dark]Tegin now.

He is laughing at me...

Do not laugh. Do not laugh or I'll
cut your comb, you Caucasian rooster.

How is it going, Karakus?

The mixture is almost ready, my Sultan.
We have boiled these cauldrons as a sample.

The real load of naphtha will come
with Elyasa and Maes' caravan.

-Once they arrive, we will quickly fill the barrels.
-Is there any news from the caravan?

-It is about to arrive the quarters, my Sultan.
-Hurry up, Karakus.

-When the naphtha arrives, we won't have much time.
-As you order, my Sultan. Karategin, come on.

I have a terrible backache!

Karategin... they keep calling
for Karategin! Ouch, my back!

I'm pouring it! -Come on.

My count...

-This is our hew pigeon master.
-My great count.

Welcome to Ibelin.

You know we are going through
difficult times. The castle is under siege.

In times like these, communication is more important
than anything. I hope you are successful in what you do.

He is reliable. I called him based on the advice of an
old master. He is quite skilled in his work as well.

I have been training pigeons
since my childhood, my count.

You can be sure that I
will do what is necessary.

Your loyalty is as
important as your skills.

Now go and do your job.
-Yes sir.

My count.

There is news from the scouts.

Salahuddin is going to send a large
supply of naphtha to the quarters.

His goal might be to destroy the
walls like he did in bayt-al Ahzan.

It is possible that he will use catapults to
launch high-impact shots inside the castle.

Get ready.

That naphtha won't reach the
quarters. I will go there myself.

My count.

If you leave now, you will
become an open target.

Order us, and we will handle this.
-No, Marcus, I will come with you.

As I learned from
my teacher Judas,

anyone who doesn't swing his sword more than
his soldiers should give up hope of victory.

You are right, Balian. Every victory against
Salahuddin will strengthen the castle's resistance.

Then, I'll go and take
care of the preparations.

My Queen.

As you ordered, I informed them
about your request for a meeting.

Princess Sbylla and
William are waiting for you.

I hope this meeting will
be favorable for Balian.

-Will they listen to you?
-They have no other choice.

Just as Balian has none.

I wish I could have convinced
him to hand over Boru.

Tell me Eli.

Why are men so stubborn
in following their nose?

Perhaps it's in their
nature, my Queen.

Just like how a sword
cuts or fire burns.

She will use the advantage she
has until the day she cannot, William.

Calm down Princess. Let's
hear what she has to say first.

She won't say anything but threaten
us when our fate depends on her.

Princess.

Yes. I am listening to you.

What is the matter?

The matter is...

Balian.

I went to Ibelin to talk to him.

The news are not good. -Hold on.

Who do you think you are to go and see Balian?
-I am the chief advisor of the King.

This meeting happened by
his majesty's command then.

He did not order
me to do that, but...

It was a meeting entirely held
for the interests of our King.

Your duty is to advise Baldwin,
not to make decisions on his behalf.

Princess.

We all want the same thing.

We don't want Guy to take
the throne after Baldwin.

And for that, Balian
needs to get stronger.

But he is acting the opposite.
-Then...

What do you want from us?

I will make the right move at
the right time to strengthen Balian.

But I need your help for this.

This letter needs to reach
the quarters immediately.

Alright.

Are you sure it will
reach the headquarters?

Don't worry, Sayra Hatun.

Each of these birds is trained to
fly towards the sanjaks of Islam.

-How will it return from the quarters?
-Each of these pigeons has a mate here.

While his beloved mate is
here, why would he stay outside?

The conqueror of my sorrowful
heart, my Sultan, my Efendi..

May I sacrifice my head
for your love, my dear Efendi..

Your dreams make me lose strength,
the longing within me never fades.

My eyes have lost their spark,
my knees their strength, my Efendi..

Al-Quds is as sorrowful as I
am, waiting for the day of reunion

every part of my soul is torn
by your longing, my dear Efendi..

If we are destined to
come together again...

Please come and help
me, my dear Efendi..

The pigeon master under our
command reached Ibelin safely, my Sultan.

Good. Now it is Boru's turn.

He will untie the knot.

My Sultan, the news we
waited from the castle arrived.

There is a letter from Boru Bey.

Balian learned about
the naphtha caravan.

He will set an ambush.

My Sultan, if you order...

We can immediately send a unit from
the quarters to support the caravan.

We cannot know what
kind of move they will make.

Even if we are more in number, there
is still a risk of being caught unaware.

We need the naphtha's.
We cannot risk them.

What will we do, my Sultan?

We will send another caravan
full of empty barrels on the road.

Balian will go after that one.

We will change the
actual caravan's route.

Load the barrels
immediately, Atsiz.

You will follow Elyasa's
old route with your unit.

As you order, my Sultan.

Isfahani.

Semse Sultan.

I was coming to you.

Can you send this to our Sultan?

Of course, Semse Sultan.

Is there any news from the
siege? What is the latest situation?

Mashaallah we are getting good news.
But the news of victory has not come yet.

It will come soon, inshaallah.

Inshaallah.

Send the fastest
messenger, Isfahani.

Don't worry.

Alright. Precautions have
been taken for the naphtha's.

-Where is Boru, Marcus?
-I did not see him, my count.

Let's go and destroy the naphtha's.
-Where were you?

We were preparing
for the attack.

Why did it take so long?

What is it, Balian? Are
you questioning me?

The attack we will make is important.
The preparation had to be done carefully.

We will make the
attack as fast as possible.

Salahuddin's men must be defeated before
they understand what is happening. -Yes sir.

Countess.

Tell me, what is new
in Ibelin and Jerusalem?

The situation is a bit
complicated, countess.

Sultan Salahuddin
surrounded Ibelin.

He asked for support
troops from Jerusalem.

But it is not known if
they will send or not.

Also...

Sultan Salahuddin's
brother Boru..

What happened to Boru?

He is fighting against his
brother with count Balian.

This is weird. Why
would he do that?

Because Sultan Salahuddin
ordered his death.

You do not even tolerate
your own brother Salahuddin.

This much honesty is
too much for this world.

Too much.

I should tell you!

My Sultan made his
plan like a poet again!

He knows how to make a plan.
We should not let these be forgotten.

It must be recorded. I will
tell Qadi Fazil to record it.

He will write the Diwan of plans.
He will write about me as well!

These are very heavy,
Karategin. What did you put inside?

Bathwater.

Albiz and I cleaned ourselves.
We put all the water in those barrels.

The water is all
black! Like tar.

-We scrubbed for two hours to get clean.
-Such dirt came out from Albiz that...

If he steps on the scale,
you'll see he lost weight.

You hear what he
is saying, Ibrahim..

Your dirt will not disappear
by just washing it, Karategin.

Stop it Atsiz Bey!

I am not all dark like
you. I am pink, bright pink.

My face is bright like the moon.
Those who look at me look again.

Be silent. The
situation is serious.

My brother is in a difficult position.
He risks his life in Ibelin for us.

We must act accordingly.

GokBoru is right, brothers.

We must set a good ambush.

We will act according
to Boru. Our goal is clear.

We will capture count
Balian dead or alive.

May Allah help us.

-Aameen.
-Aameen.

How much time is needed
for it to harden, Karakus?

My Sultan.

After we pour it on the traps, it
will be ready to walk on after a day.

Prepare the carts and
load the barrels, Halil.

The armored and shielded
soldiers will approach the castle...

...with these carts and pour the
substance in a straight line formation.

As you order my Sultan.

If you allow me, my Sultan.

Come on!

Prepare all the boilers!

Hurry!

It's me, my Bey.

Stop moving.

I thought it was a snake.

And I started itching now!

Where have they been?

They must be on the way...

They will come soon.

We will surround them once they come here.
-Then we will leave them here and run away.

By that time, our brothers...

...will have already transported the
real barrels of naphtha near the castle.

Inshaallah.

There hasn't been anyone
coming or going for a long time.

Since the guards haven't changed,
the others must be taking a break.

Should we attack, my count?

We will set the naphtha on fire and
move away. Everyone will be very quick.

Once they move toward
the cart, we will k*ll Boru.

What about Balian?

If he resists, you
can k*ll him too.

Henok.

Boru and Balian left
the castle, my count.

This is the opportunity we've
been waiting for, Lord Guy.

Why did they leave the castle?

Sultan Salahuddin will bring naphtha
to the quarters. They left to destroy it.

Good.

Get ready for the attack.

I thought you were not
going to say it Lord Guy.

Well... it's beginning.

Wait until Balian
gets on the carriage.

Prepare the torches.

What are they doing here?

Boru.

Calm down. Don't
do anything wrong.

Well...

What? Why did they stop?

As they have stopped,
we should move then.

You're right, Atsiz.

If they aren't
moving, we should.

Wait.

There is something wrong.

Guy.

Heathen Guy isn't dead!

We should k*ll him then.

We should k*ll them all.

-And avenge Ali!
-No.

If we show up now,
we will expose Boru.

What if Boru is in danger?

What if Balian takes
Chatillon and Guy's side?

Well... GokBoru is right.

If Boru is in danger,

...then we will beat them all.

It's time to avenge my nephew.

I'll make you meet
your poor nephew.

What are you doing here?

I said I wouldn't
give Boru to you.

And I said the King
gave strict orders.

Damn it! Stop that!

The palace is shaking with
what happened in Ibelin.

Is that so? What do they say?

That Balian is collaborating
with Salahuddin's brother Boru.

They tell the truth then.

Balian, you know...

...Balian will never betray you
and Jerusalem no matter what.

You have to know.

This is from Balian.

He explains why he
keeps Boru beside him.

You believe him, don't you?

I don't doubt
Balian's good will.

But he started something wrong.

So... what is your
decision about him?

Firstly, I will wait for Lord
Guy to bring Boru to me.

After that, it will be possible to
make a clear decision about Balian.

If you don't stop,
I'll order to attack.

I said stop, Boru.

I won't stop before I
slaughter this vile man.

Well... look at Boru!

Like he is really on Balian's
side! Look how good he is fighting.

Because he sees nothing but red.

This isn't good.

Apparently, Guy and
Chatillon want Boru.

We should inform our Sultan.

Stop this.

Remember what you were told.

I'm offering you one last chance
to make up for your mistake, Boru.

Balian!

Give us Boru and
settle this matter here.

Balian, you are
making a huge mistake.

Now we'll go back to the castle.

If you come after us, I'll
order all my men to k*ll you.

Let's go, Boru.

You will pay for this, Balian!

Balian!

What happened? I don't
understand anything.

Balian took Boru away
instead of taking the naphtha.

So our plan worked somehow.

They wasted time
with each other.

Let's go let our Sultan know.

Those heathens
intend to harm Boru.

-Let's go.
-Come on.

-Let's go.
-Easy, easy.

Well... my leg is
completely stiff.

Come on, come on.

Stay low.

-Come on.
-You will lead the cart.

Just reach the snares
without any troubles.

Armored soldiers
will do the rest.

As you order, my Sultan.

I hope we won't disappoint you.

I'm sure that you will
achieve completely.

You always came for help
whenever I needed you.

I still remember what
you did in bayt al-Ahzan.

-I owe you.
-Estaghfirullah, my Sultan.

You owe me nothing.

I've spent my life looking for facts
on the way which are worth dying for.

And finally, I've found it.

What have you found?

I met you, my Sultan.

I need no more.

I've witness justice and
mercy under your command.

I feel grateful for god
who let me witness this fact.

Mighty Sultan, master Elyasa said that he would
devote himself to god when you captured Jerusalem.

May Allah lead
vyour way to the good.

It means...

The way to both al-Quds and
the truth goes through Ibelin.

May you have a safe way.

You did things on on your own
although I warned you several times!

It was them who attacked.

Besides, that demon called
Guy is my nephew's m*rder*r.

This isn't a good time
for vengeance, Boru.

I'm containing myself not
to put the kingdom in danger.

But you both took refuge in my
castle and ignore Ibelin's interests!

I don't have to
do what you want.

You are raging here
instead of supporting me.

I don't want to pay
prices anymore.

There is only one thing you
should keep in your mind.

You're under my
command in Ibelin.

Look at me. I'm
not your servant.

I left Ayyubi properties behind
while coming here. I owe nobody!

We're fighting for the
same purpose. That's all.

If you aren't pleased with our
alliance, I will leave with my men.

We set up the defense line.

Are you threatening
me with your absence?

All of our nerves are shot.

It's not good time or
place to discuss this.

You're being unfair
to Boru, count Balian.

He took Judas out
of the army camp.

He didn't avoid any duties.

He risked his own
life to save you.

You can't ignore these.

It was me who protected
him against Guy and Chatillon.

Have you ever consider what
rumors that will cause in Jerusalem?

I'm in a great
w*r in every front.

This is my last warning.

Stay away from actions
to damage my trust.

Count Balian.

Salahuddin found a way
to get over the snares.

-How?
-They're pouring naphtha on them.

Damn it!

They used the naphtha
to cover the snares.

They drew us outside and
brought the naphtha here.

We have to take new
measures immediately.

Don't worry. I will
do the necessary.

Marcus, come with me.

Lord Guy, I can't see Boru.

I hope he is in the dungeon.

Count Balian clearly disobeyed
your orders, your majesty.

Your majesty, he preferred
even fighting us to giving us Boru.

How could he disobey his King?

What does he think he is?

In short, Boru is
stuck, my Sultan.

People in al-Quds know about
his presence in Ibelin how.

Even if Balian keeps Boru,
Lord Guy won't give up.

We we waiting for the
great news about his death.

But the demon came
back in a worse way.

Allah gave him time.

Let him live.

When it's time, Boru and
I will avenge Ali together.

-Inshaallah.
-Inshaallah.

My Sultan, Elyasa
and Maes are here.

Let them in.

Mighty Sultan, as you ordered,

...the snares got
covered with tar.

Thanks to Allah. Allah didn't
let our efforts go for nothing.

Did we lose any men?

We lost four men, my Sultan.

May their place be heaven.

-Aameen.
-Aameen.

We thought the naphtha
ink would make the way.

But what was shed was
the blood of mujahids.

Remember where you step.

May Allah bless our martyrs.

Aameen.

We can't wait any longer.

We have to help Boru.

My Sultan, I can't wait.

The army is ready to
move with your permission.

Take attack formation.

At dawn tomorrow, we
will attack, inshaallah.

Drawing a sword against two noble
men who were there with my orders...

...means drawing
a sword against me.

Your majesty, we can't leave
Ibelin's defense to Balian.

That would mean leaving
Jerusalem's fate to a madman.

Your majesty, I completely
agree with Lord Guy on this.

Because count of Ibelin
either lost his mind...

...or he's betraying us.

There can't be any
other explanations.

No matter what,

...count Balian's loyalty
to your throne is inarguable.

Remember how he
defended bayt al-Ahzan.

Even without knowing that the army
of Jerusalem would come for help,

...he risked his life
against Salahuddin.

Yes, and we owe this glorious
victory to our mighty King.

Otherwise, Balian would
have faced a defeat there.

Wasn't it you who said
Jerusalem would fall if Ibelin fell?

Why are you
defending Balian now?

Because we have to stand united.

While Sultan of Damascus is
conquering our castles one by one,

...how can we
stop him otherwise?

Your majesty, if you
talk to Balian personally...

I won't talk to someone who clearly
disobeyed my orders, Princess.

Lord Guy.

Gather the army of Jerusalem.

And march to Ibelin.

You will lead the
castle defense.

Your majesty.

Forgive me for
overstepping my bounds.

But you have to
revise your decision.

Sending your army to a
castle under the siege...

Wouldn't that
demoralize the soldiers?

Not more than their count
collaborating with the enemy.

I guess you got
the answer, William.

If you don't have
any other questions,

...carry out my
orders immediately.

Now you may leave.

-Your majesty...
-I said you may leave, Maria!

I guess you didn't hear.

Finally, it's time.

Tonight, we'll poison the
patrols holding the passage.

And at dawn, we
will take action.

I took the poison from bedouins.

We should hurry, Sayra.
Balian's attitude has changed.

It means our time is limited.

Lord Guy got the chance finally that
he had been expecting for a long time.

It's certain that he will take Ibelin
from Balian with the King's support.

Balian's obstinacy drew
Baldwin's fury on him.

There is nothing to do.

There must be, Princess.

Remember.

What Guy wants
isn't only Ibelin.

This is about Balian's life.

Lord Guy will march to
Ibelin with a great army.

To be honest,

...Balian can never
stand against him.

What if a conflict comes
up in that great army?

How come?

Lord Guy is a true
hero to templars.

But the soldiers of Jerusalem
haven't accepted his presence yet.

William.

To the soldiers of Jerusalem,

...you are a Saint whose
orders have to be obeyed.

If you can turn them
against Guy and templars...

That would make our sons
and christians fight each other!

I can't accept that.

You shouldn't say
big words, William.

Remember.

The secret of your
attempt to k*ll Lord Guy...

...is still safe with me.

Princess, you should know this.

Balian's life depends on
William's accepting my offer.

Hello.

Come on, eat. Eat and cheer up.

It's forbidden to eat
and drink on duty.

What a nonsense rule!

In my tradition, soldiers eat and
fill their stomachs before a fight.

Enjoy it.

Eat... and get stronger.

Warn the archers. They
should stall Salahuddin's troops.

-We need to buy time.
-What for?

Are you expecting something?

You don't know...

The army of Jerusalem are
approaching Ibelin to help us.

What? Don't you like the news?

Just the opposite.

We're happy to hear that.
But they shouldn't be late.

Marcus, let's check the archers.

We need to inform
the army camp quickly.

Or our people will be caught unaware.
They don't know about the army of al-Quds.

You wait here. I'll go. Balian
shouldn't get suspicious.

I took care of the guards. You open
the hidden passage. I send the message.

Dastards.

Our attack plan is clear.

Atsiz Bey and his unit will use
the naphtha route to the walls...

...and begin the first
attack on the castle.

While the enemy waste
their time by defending there...

...emir GokBoru and his unit
will use the other naphtha route...

...and head toward the secret
passage Boru described on the letter.

We have worked in detail on the map,
my Sultan. Our preparation is complete.

Good.

In case something happens, the
other unit will go to help those in need.

Soon, we will perform our al-shukr
prayer in al-Aqsa mosque, inshaallah.

May Allah let us gain a victory.

Aameen.

My Sultan, the letter
is from Semse Hatun.

Where is this man?

Balian learned everything.

Balian.

Are you inspecting the
defense line here, Boru?

What were you writing
in the letter? Keep writing.

Write to your brother that the
Jerusalem army is on its way.

I trusted you until
the caravan raid.

I got suspicious when you
first disobeyed the orders.

Then I just had to
catch you in the act.

Boru.

I'm sure that Salahuddin
sent him to Ibelin.

How?

Lord Judas had vouched for Boru.

It seems he tricked us all.

If you're sure about
this, before it's too late...

Not yet, Marcus,
there's still time.

Before we make our move, I
will put him through one last test.

But I must congratulate you...

You played your game
very well from the start.

Especially, taking the
tower was impressive.

But it doesn't change the fact that
you tried to take this castle despicably!

w*r is trickery, Balian.

We did what we had to do to the
invaders who occupied our land.

For every lie you told me, I
will cut a part of you off, Boru.

Then I will send a letter to your
brother, written with your blood.

Your plan has failed.

Hurry up.

They are dead.

There was a feast here.

Where is Boru?

He will join us. You stay here and
guide those who come from behind.

Valiants, follow us.

Hurry up.

Come on!!

Henok!

The army is ready to move, sir.

Good. Then let's make our move.

I guess you'll need to say
goodbye to the Princess, Lord Guy.

Come on.

I'm not saying goodbye
to you, Princess.

Let's say it's a short separation
which will end in a great victory.

From what I see, you're
sure of victory, Lord Guy.

Like every great commander
who trusts his army, Maria.

Balian has no chance against
me. He will pay for his rebellion.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Lord Guy... there is a sword aimed
at its commander in every army.

It waits for the right
moment to show itself.

Hurry up, brothers!

Hurry up! This way! -Let's go!

Come on!

You lost, Balian.

You lost!

Even if you k*ll me, the
result will not change!

Ibelin will belongs to muslims!

Only your dead bodies
can stay in Ibelin!

My count, the units of
Salahuddin have entered the castle.

The situation is getting worse.

Damn it!

Do not let him get out, Marcus.

I will settle accounts
with him later.

Do not stand in my way, old man.

You will stay here.

Soon, I will get rid of Balian.

What will happen then, Lord Guy?

We will have a castle to defend.

That's exactly what
I want, Chatillion.

To be a commander defending
Ibelin against Salahuddin.

This success will make me...

...the King of Jerusalem after
Baldwin in the eyes of the people.

Stop!

We will talk to Lord Guy!

Move! Everyone calm
down! To your positions!

What is happening there?

Soldiers of Jerusalem.

What happened to them?

What happened is, Lord Guy...

As soldiers of the
glorious Jerusalem army...

We do not want to
go with the templars...

...and shed the blood of our brothers
from the same religion in Ibelin.

What are you saying?
What does that mean?!

We will not shed the blood
of our believer brothers!

We will not shed the blood
of our believer brothers!

What you're doing is rebellion.

Right now, you are standing
against King Baldwin's orders.

If you do not turn back
from your mistake...

...the consequences will
not be my responsibility.

God.

Forgive me for causing your
sons to fight against each other.

You can all come here!

You won't be able
to take my castle!

There!

My count, the castle has fallen.

We need to leave now!

The castle has not fallen!

I will protect my brother's
trust to the last drop of my blood.

Do you understand?
The castle will not fall!

k*ll them!

The first place the sanjak of the
Ayyubi state will fly is Ibelin, my Sultan.

May your state be ever-lasting,
and may your sanjak's shadow grow.

-Aameen.
-Aameen.

My Sultan.

Where is Balian?

We do not know for now.

They are still fighting inside.
They are looking for him.

It is time to raise
our sanjak in Ibelin.

Salahuddin. I will not
give my castle to you!

Allah is the greatest!
