This time you can't
escape Salahuddin.
Alhamdulillah.
Kerek has fallen.
Now I need to go to my
brother. There's still no news.
I'm coming with you, brother.
Count everyone who
entered the towers.
Seal the food in the shelters.
We will not have taken complete control
of the castle until every door is opened.
Be quick! Come on!
Hurry up!
Come on, you go.
We will handle everything here.
Come on Karakus.
God...
God, what am I doing?
Salahuddin...
God, please don't let
anything happen to him.
Please...
Push... push...
Breathe!
Her bleeding doesn't stop.
Bring a cloth here, hurry.
Breathe in and out.
Please, just a little more.
Hang on. My Sultan, please.
My Allah... you
say 'be' and it is.
You are the one who
creates from nothing.
May you give strength to this
young girl, my daughter-in-law who
I see as my daughter, who has
been granted with your name hayy.
Give her power to resist.
Do not take away
your mercy from us.
The bleeding doesn't
stop, bring a cloth here.
Protect my son, my Salahuddin...
...the lion of the b*ttlefield
and those with him, my Allah.
May you be their shield.
May you be their armor.
Aameen.
Come on. Almost
there. Almost there.
Some more effort.
My Sultan, please.
The broken sword of Islam...
You will gain nothing
but defeat, Salahuddin.
Because you are saracens.
Because you are
the banished ones.
I know you are
eager to go to hell.
My sword will be your
compass to it. Don't worry.
Come out from behind
that tree, come on.
Do you recognize this dagger?
Doctor Latif's dagger.
I will k*ll you...
...with this dagger.
Go for the sake of the holy
cross and find your target.
Salahuddin...
Salahuddin!
Mila.
Damn it!
Mila.
Mila.
Mila.
My count!
Troops are coming from behind, my count.
We need to retreat! My count!
Mila.
Damn it Mila! Mila!
We need to retreat!
-Let go!
Mila.
I'll k*ll you myself,
Salahuddin!
My count, there are some coming.
We have to go.
Come on.
Let's go, my count.
We should go, my count.
Let's go.
Salahuddin.
Mila, why?
Because...
...god wants so.
Salahuddin.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Welcome, Ali.
May he has a fruitful life.
May he bring along
many conquests.
May he provide pride
and peace for people.
Aameen.
Semse, my beautiful dear.
I said it would be
hard and tough...
...but everything
would be alright.
See? It's alright,
alhamdulillah.
Thanks to Allah.
Thankfully.
Salahuddin.
I failed in my every
attempt to take revenge.
But it's soon, Balian.
Very soon.
I will take great
revenge from him.
Damn it.
What's that supposed to mean?
You'll see what it means if
you look at the castle walls.
You god-damned Salahuddin...
Did you take my castle too?
I won't let that happen, Balian.
Enok, gather the soldiers.
We're going to the castle.
-Come on.
-Chatillon.
If you want to save your few soldiers
left, you have to accept the defeat.
Lord Guy and templars...
It seems Lord Guy faced
the same fate with us.
-Mila, why?
-Because...
...god wants so.
Did you deal with
Mila's funeral?
As you ordered, brother,
she got buried beside her aunt.
Mila's aunt led a miserable
life as an oppressed person.
And so she died.
Inshaallah, Mila will...
...find a place for herself in the convoy
of the oppressed who are forgiven.
With the victory in Kerek,
...we took one step closer to
al-Quds which is our final target.
May Allah let us see the day
the gates of al-Quds are opened.
-Aameen.
-Aameen.
-Aameen.
-Now...
We have much more to
do and a harder way to go.
First, we will go
back to Damascus...
...and start the preparations
immediately for the siege of al-Quds.
While the enemy are stumbling,
...we won't let them stand
up but deal the final blow.
Your failure...
...has left me no options but
begging for mercy from Salahuddin.
I can't believe what Mila did.
It's your choice, my King.
But it's obvious that Salahuddin
won't want a treaty in this situation.
Salahuddin must have already
left for Jerusalem, my King.
That's exactly why I
have to demand a treaty.
Your majesty, I don't think Salahuddin will
accept the peace under these circumstances.
I'm sick of the same
things being said repeatedly.
My King, still, you
should consider...
There is nothing
to consider, William.
Send a letter to Damascus
which states I demand a meeting.
Well... it's a child King.
Did you say
something, Chatillon?
Your majesty, I
didn't say anything.
What did you say? Say again!
My King, I didn't...
I didn't say anything.
Bring my whip!
My King.
On your knees.
Your majesty...
This is an order! On your knees!
Look at my face and say.
What?
What did you say, Chatillon?
A child...
Finish your words, Chatillon.
Well... it's a child King.
If there isn't anyone
who has something to say,
...finish the preparations for
my meeting with Salahuddin!
I knew it.
I knew I would see her
again before I passed away.
How could you believe
such a slander, Fazil?
You knew my brother would
never touch the state's treasure.
I know.
But all the current evidence and
testimonies are against Mazhar, Zeynep.
So should we give up?
They set him up.
Why aren't you trying
to reveal the truth?
You think I didn't try?
But the one who set this up
planned everything elaborately.
Look, Fazil.
The judge appointed you in this
case to investigate every detail.
He'll make his final decision
according to your report.
It's a hard duty, Zeynep.
Yet, my hands are tied up.
Both the evidence
and the law are clear.
Alright, Fazil.
Do what the law requires then.
But you should know that
the justice won't be served.
By doing this, you
won't only ruin a man...
...but lose me forever as well.
Zeynep.
My Allah, help me.
Let my suffering end.
Please reveal the
right and the wrong.
I knew you would come.
I didn't want you
to end up here.
But you forced me to do this.
I've been in a dungeon since
we got separated, Zeynep.
I'm not upset with
you for this situation.
Just...
Look into my eyes for once.
Even if your complaint
ruins me, I don't mind...
...as long as your
heart is relieved.
I wish you had
said that years ago.
Nothing has changed for me.
-When I look at you, I still...
-I'm not here to talk about the past.
To me, bygones are bygones.
I just want my brother's
honor to be restored.
The judge will make
the decision about you.
I just...
...want to be acquitted
in your heart, Zeynep.
It's too late for that.
Your name is Ali.
Your name is Ali.
Your name is Ali.
Be the excellent in Islam so you shall have the
honor of raising the sanjak of Islam higher.
You let me have the
greatest pride as a mother.
May al let you
have even more, son.
Aameen, mother. Aameen.
Thankfully, Allah gave
me a healthy child.
You gave light in my house,
Semse Hatun. Thank you.
Ali was born with a miracle.
May the conquest
of Kerek be mubarak.
-What about Mila?
-May she rest in peace.
She sacrificed her life against the
ambush the heathens laid to k*ll me.
The arrow shot to k*ll me...
...hit her.
How?
If she hadn't been there...
May I come in, brother?
Yes, Boru.
Congratulations, brother.
Sister-in-law.
May Allah let you
raise him healthily.
-Thanks, Boru.
-Mashaallah.
-What is this brave boy's name?
-Ali.
My nephew, Ali, became a martyr.
Another one took his place.
May Allah give him a long life.
Aameen.
May Allah let him grow up with his mother
and father. May he make him a good child.
Thank you, Sayra Hatun.
Mother, Sayra Hatun and Boru
deserve to be congratulated as well.
What are you talking
about, Salahuddin?
Because of our difficult situation, I
couldn't get your approval, mother.
Sayra is now...
...my honor, my wife,
and your daughter-in-law.
Good news is raining on our home.
May Allah protect you from the evil eye.
The difficulty of your situation does
not excuse ignoring our traditions.
Without the
approval of elders...
Mother, if you are going to get
mad at someone, get mad at me.
I'm the one who helped them
marry at the headquarters.
Kiss your Valide Sultan's hand.
Mother.
Forgive our mistake,
Valide Sultan.
My Sultan. There is
an important matter.
My Sultan.
King Baldwin.
He is waiting for you near
Damascus with his delegation.
What do you think
he wants, brother?
We'll see, Boru. But in
their current condition...
...the only thing they
can ask for is mercy.
Salahuddin and
his unit are seen, sir.
Get me on my horse.
Your majesty, you might
not be able to ride it.
I'm representing the Jerusalem
kingdom here, William. God will help me.
Bring his majesty's horse.
You look tired, King Baldwin.
I wish we met somewhere
closer to al-Quds.
Even though I have
some problems, I'm alright.
The illness does not tire
me, Sultan Salahuddin.
This never-ending w*r does.
Then I am sorry for that.
Because as long as the crusaders
don't leave our lands, this w*r won't end.
I was born in Jerusalem, and
luckily, I will live and die there.
No one can take
this right from us.
No one is trying to do that.
Under our rule, you
can live freely in al-Quds.
Sultan Nureddin
said the same things.
But he didn't live long enough
to make those dreams come true.
You should learn
a lesson from that.
What is your request, King
Baldwin? Why did you call me here?
I will fulfill the peace dream my
father King Amalrik left half-finished.
The King gave up early.
I didn't think they
would be so helpless.
Peace happens
between two tired powers.
We still have strength
and power, thanks to Allah.
After Ibelin and Kerek,
we will march to al-Quds.
And...
...there is no reason that can
stop us from reaching that goal.
Do you think the w*r
will end when you...
...the muslims achieve the
thing you desire so much...
...I mean praying again
in al-Aqsa mosque?
The actual w*r will begin then.
If Jerusalem falls, the Franks
will invade the eastern lands.
I have to do what I need to do.
No result will turn me
away from this cause.
Don't think we are weak and alone.
We will not give up on Jerusalem.
Right now, you may see
yourself stronger than us.
But after the w*r, you may
lose everything you have.
The one who gives and the
one who takes is only him.
The season of peace
is over, King Baldwin.
There is no need
to talk about it.
You can't turn your back on
the King, Sultan Salahuddin.
We are done talking, Princess.
We are not!
-The shadow of the sword has fallen on us.
There's no turning back now.
I will die soon
Sultan Salahuddin.
I want to give peace to
this holy land before I die.
Don't reject my
offer without thinking.
I don't want to insult you in
this condition, King Baldwin.
But your offer is a
sign of weakness.
Victory and defeat, like death, are
decided by Allah, the owner of all worlds.
He will make the
decision between us.
What will we do
now, your majesty?
Don't lose hope, Baldwin.
We can always find a solution.
My god, why did you abandon me?
-You paid the price for losing your control.
-That cursed boy will pay the price.
Not yet.
What are we waiting for, Lord Guy? For King
Baldwin to convince Salahuddin to make peace?
Baldwin is now at
the edge of the cliff.
A small breeze will be
enough to make him fall.
If needed, we
can be that breeze.
Breeze or storm, I can't
stand it anymore, Lord Guy.
My wife died in front of
my eyes for Salahuddin.
And when I came back
here, I saw I had no castle left.
Enough.
I can't stand to see either Salahuddin
or that little King Baldwin alive.
Stop blaming yourself
for Mila, Balian.
I still can't believe it.
I've never seen
Baldwin like this.
What he did to Chatillion..
Chatillion already
deserved all of this.
Baldwin's anger comes
from his helplessness.
And considering his illness
gets worse every day...
He's trying to gain time by convincing
Salahuddin to make peace as a last hope.
But if I know Salahuddin
even a little, this is impossible.
That may be impossible
for Baldwin and the others.
But remember, no one knows
Salahuddin better than you.
-That doesn't change anything.
-Think carefully, Balian.
Salahuddin's weakness.
If you can find it...
...you can be the one who convinces
him to make peace and saves Jerusalem.
The caliph wants us to take the necessary measures
to ensure the safety of the pilgrimage route.
Does he doubt that we
will do what's necessary?
The pilgrimage season is close.
It's normal for him to be worried.
This is a big test for us.
If we can overcome this, we will have proven the power of
the Ayyubi state in the eyes of the caliph and all muslims.
My Sultan, you are right but when
the crusaders are begging for peace...
-...can they still be a threat?
-During Sultan Nureddin's era...
...the attacks on pilgrimage
caravans are known.
In this state, we cannot ignore
the importance of this duty.
We can expect
anything from the infidels.
Maybe they're pretending to
be weak to make us lose control.
They will look for a
chance to strike from behind.
GokBoru, Karakus, Atsiz, you
will take care of the road's safety.
I don't want mistakes. May Allah
forbid, if something bad happens..
...not a single Muslim from Mosul or
Aleppo will join jihad under our sanjak.
As you order, my Sultan.
Still no news from Qadi Fazil?
Not yet, my Sultan.
-My Sultan.
-Karategin.
-Where is Qadi Fazil?
-My Sultan. Kaymaz.
He didn't keep his promise. He
broke the promise he made to you.
He threw Qadi Fazil
into a dungeon in Mosul.
Salahuddin is aware of our
helplessness. He won't stop.
Unfortunately, this is just
stating the obvious, your majesty.
And...
...the result of the defeats
you caused at Ibelin and Kerek.
Your majesty, if you allow me...
The severity of our
situation is clear.
We lost most of our
army at Ibelin and Kerek.
Also, these defeats have
shaken the people's trust in us.
The city is full of fear.
We must k*ll the cowards before
Salahuddin does. They deserve it.
Trying to intimidate the people in this condition
will destroy our last chance to defend the city.
Thank you for your realistic
inferences, William. But...
...we don't need inferences,
we need a solution.
Actually, there is a
solution, your majesty.
As you know, after Kerek, Salahuddin announced
his state as the Ayyubi state instead of Zengi.
The islamic caliph
recognized this state.
So Salahuddin also got
what he wanted on that side.
Not exactly, your majesty.
He may have done this
in Damascus and Egypt.
But other cities and Emirates
haven't pledged allegiance to him yet.
It may not be as easy as Salahuddin thinks to
make the rest accept his state and leadership...
...especially those under the rule of
Zengi's descendants in Mosul and Aleppo.
His victories at Ibelin and Kerek
must have increased the trust in him.
What do you have to prove this idea, William?
-Mosul's Emir, Kaymaz.
We have a history
of good relations.
Most importantly,
he has a weakness...
...for power and money.
So he is the man
we are looking for.
Salahuddin sent his closest man Qadi
Fazil, to the islamic cities to make them
accept his state and to be
the leader of other muslims.
And Fazil was captured
by Emir Kaymaz of Mosul.
He is now keeping him in prison.
-For what reason?
-No matter what the reason is. It doesn't matter.
Fazil's situation will give us the
chance to cause the chaos we want.
If Mosul's Emir Kaymaz gets
support from other emirs and beys...
Salahuddin will have to delay his
dream of marching to Jerusalem.
William, go to Mosul immediately
and make an alliance with Kaymaz.
There must be a chaos in
Mosul and the other Muslim cities.
I will do my best, your majesty.
The future of Jerusalem
is on your shoulders.
The only thing that will save me
from being crushed by this weight...
...is the love I feel for this
holy city, your majesty.
Go there safely.
Your majesty...
...if you allow me, there's a matter I
want to talk to you about in private.
What does he think he is?
From whom does
his take this courage?
There must be another reason.
You're right.
We should hear what
happened from Fazil too.
That's unbelievable.
Kaymaz found a way and already
started to fanning the fire of unrest.
Didn't the fool take any
lessons from Gumustegin's fate?
My Sultan, Qadi
Fazil is in trouble.
We need to take
action immediately.
What will we do?
We'll respond to Kaymaz
the way he deserves, but...
We should do this without
upsetting the people of Mosul.
We should gather
the soldiers then.
Will we take an army
to Mosul, my Sultan?
It's an important issue that
they arrested Qadi Fazil.
They intend to tell us
something by doing that.
For this reason, we will
establish our army camp in Mosul.
But I pray to Allah that we won't
run out of words and draw our swords.
We should extinguish this fire
of unrest before it grows bigger.
If we can't provide unity
with Mosul and Aleppo,
...our dream of al-Quds
will burn to ashes.
Qadi Fazil.
In the case of
Mazhar, son of be rat,
...the court consulted
your opinion as the expert.
You informed the court in writing
that you thought Mazhar was guilty.
As you said, judge.
Although I believed
the otherwise,
...I had to act according to the
evidence and the accounting reports.
Zeynep Hatun claims that
you didn't do your duty properly.
She is an honest and
respectable woman.
I never intend to hurt her.
But in those circumstances, I had
to judge by the current evidence.
Besides, if I misconducted,
...I would be expected
to have some benefits.
On the contrary, with the grief of the
incident, I renounced my duty in Mosul...
...I moved to Alexandria.
This is a personal
matter, though.
He's blamed for misleading
the court deliberately.
I didn't mislead anyone.
I just reported what I
saw in the documents.
We stand bail for him, judge.
Qadi Fazil is a virtuous man.
Besides, I have to remind that he's
the Sultan regent of the Ayyubi state.
-Those title don't matter in the court.
-Of course they don't.
They just stated their
personal thoughts.
Zeynep Hatun.
I want to convict the
ones who set Mazhar up...
...at least as much as you do.
But I'm not sure...
...if blaming me is
the right way to do that.
But still, if this is going to
help the truth be revealed,
...I won't mind any
kinds of hardship.
Well, Balian... I'm all ears.
What is the important matter about
which you want to talk to me in private?
Your majesty, we all know
that William is a smart man.
His plan is quite impressive,
but I want to warn you about something.
What is it?
Salahuddin.
He'll be the leader of the
whole Islam world sooner or later.
What William is going
to do can only delay that.
But it can't stop.
You think I don't see that?
Every second we gain in
this pity we have fallen into...
...is very precious to us.
You're right.
If William turns out to be lucky, he may
delay Salahuddin from turning to Jerusalem.
But we need a leverage to
force him to make a treaty.
-If only we had such a leverage...
-We can.
How?
What reason could even force
Salahuddin to have a treaty?
You will set out again before
you can have some good rest.
I'm afraid that
you will fall sick.
Be at ease.
The hardship on this path
would heal and cure me.
Not only your wife but also
your child will be waiting for you.
That will make me much stronger.
Al and I shall have many journeys
and many conquests as well.
May Allah let us see those days.
Aameen.
Do you have anything
else to say, Qadi Fazil?
This case is my case too.
If you give me a
chance and time,
...I want to do what I
couldn't back then...
...and find out who did
those things to set Mazhar up.
Well...
You said you gave such a decision as you couldn't
find any evidence in favor of him back then.
How do we know you won't
cover the new evidence?
Your clerk can accompany
me in every step of mine, judge.
What do you think about
this offer as the claimant?
-If he can what he claims...
-Pardon my interference, judge.
What should be
done before that...
...is opening the old court
books and reviewing them.
That will be already done.
And Qadi Fazil's offer will be considered
if no deliberate intervention is detected.
Don't you agree, Zeynep?
Emir Kaymaz is right.
Everything should be by the book.
So be it.
I offered that to conduct
the case quickly, judge.
The old court books including
the case will be reviewed.
And Qadi Fazil will keep staying
in the dungeon in the meantime.
It's been decided.
Unbelievable.
Sorry for you, Qadi Fazil.
This case has got complicated.
It will be settled
soon, inshaallah.
-Inshaallah.
-Karategin has left for Damascus to inform Sultan.
Soon, everybody will see
that you aren't unprotected.
Don't you think I'm
against you, Qadi Fazil.
I just want the
justice to be served.
Eyvallah.
The truth will be
revealed sooner or later.
It will be.
We know the things she did.
How can you be very sure
that Sayra has changed?
I recognize the love, mother.
Her love for Boru
cured her heart.
Risking her life for us...
...and asking for forgiveness
from me by ignoring her pride...
...is the biggest evidence.
Even if you are right,
...I don't feel comfortable.
They got married
without consulting me.
Come, Sayra.
We apologize for
upsetting you, mother.
We just wanted our marriage to be
a special memorial of the conquest.
How much did you set the dower?
Boru gave me his share from
the Booty of the Kerek conquest.
Besides, he promised me to
carry out a special demand of mine.
What is it?
I want to join the
siege of al-Quds.
Women can join the campaigns
to serve behind the fronts, but...
If you want to swing
swords in the field...
Not behind the
fronts, mother. I am...
Mother, can we talk
about this in a larger time?
You know better, but...
Weren't there female
fighters who joined the battles?
Besides, our Sultan let
Boru decide about this.
My girl, did you lose your mind?
Who do you think you
can compare yourself with?
I think I couldn't
express myself.
Excuse me.
You pushed her too hard.
Sevbek, the outpost of Kerek.
If we manage to
capture the castle,
...we'll have the most important
passage of the hajj road.
Is that possible, my count?
It's impossible to capture
Kerek and Ibelin for now.
But we can find a
way to capture Sevbek.
My count, if we succeed,
...if Salahuddin make Mosul and Aleppo
follow him and maintain unity in Islam,
...we will lose, anyway.
I know.
If that happens, we will have
to draw back to Jerusalem.
But if we capture Sevbek and William
manages to cause unrest in Mosul,
...Salahuddin will have
to make a peace treaty.
Your visit has pleased us a lot.
And King Baldwin's
generosity is praiseworthy.
Friendships are made of
generosity, Emir Kaymaz.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yet I'm curious about the
reason of this sudden visit.
Salahuddin Ayyubi.
He's a fire growing bigger.
He has to be controlled.
And don't think that
the fire will burn us only.
You know I have ears everywhere.
Salahuddin is both trying to make
you recognize the state he established...
...and intends to the
leader of all muslims.
He won people's favor with
the conquest of Ibelin and Kerek.
And caliph declared his support.
Salahuddin removed the state of
Nureddin Zengi who you highly respected...
...and he established
his own state.
In this way, he's trying to inherit
what he couldn't inherit with blood.
It's true that this situation
causes some displeasure.
But the one holding
the power sets the rules.
Salahuddin doesn't have the
power yet but he's about to.
If things get harder for him,
...the state he established
may be ruined suddenly.
How is that going to happen?
Qadi Fazil.
I heard that you put
him in the dungeon.
A personal matter of the past.
Besides, I don't have solid
evidence to keep him in the dungeon.
Then we will make
up the evidence.
I don't even care about
the case of Qadi Fazil.
But Fazil is
Salahuddin's right arm.
If we make him turn out
to be guilty before people,
...Salahuddin will also get
his share from Fazil's quilt.
I see your intention.
But I don't know if it is
possible to practice it.
Leave that to me.
Just do what I say.
As you said,
...friendships are
made of generosity.
If you help us
against Salahuddin,
...you will know...
...what you see isn't even a
tiny piece of our generosity.
Why fight while we
can live as friends?
-Right?
-Exactly.
I will review Fazil's
case elaborately.
You gather a committee
made up the nobles in Mosul.
Send an invitation.
You should sow the first seeds
against the threat of Ayyubis...
...without scaring
them but decisively.
They can't dare to
attack Kerek, right?
They know how safe it is.
But this place... I mean Sevbek.
It took too much damage.
May Allah protect us. It'll fall without
resistance against a strong attack.
That means they
will attack here.
Most probably.
What will we do?
We'll take reinforcements from Kerek
and make scout troops if we have to.
And they will deploy at
certain spots along the way.
Most of the trading
convoys use the hajj road.
If we secure them, we will
also secure the hajj convoys.
We have ruined crusaders. It
would be crazy for them to attack us.
A wounded lion, Bozok.
It would be more dangerous
because it has nothing much left to lose.
As you said, I will
be quick, William.
Your offer is quite generous.
But we need to discuss every
detail about our collaboration.
Mighty Emir.
Didn't I tell you
not to interrupt?
It's an urgent matter.
Sultan Salahuddin is
coming to the palace.
Salahuddin?
I wasn't expecting
him this soon.
It was obvious he would do that
as you were holding Qadi Fazil.
-If he sees you here.
-Don't worry.
Find out what he wants.
Take the chest.
Go and welcome him.
-As you order.
Welcome to Mosul, Sultan Salahuddin.
-I am not glad to be here.
With what authority did you
throw my deputy into prison?
It was the Qadi
Efendi's decision.
There is a serious
accusation from the past.
Karategin explained
everything in detail.
How can you do such a thing
based on one person's words?
My Sultan.
Clearly he has a grudge against Qadi Fazil
because of the things happened in Egypt.
That's why he acts this way.
No. I closed that matter
with Gumustegin's death.
Then why do you t*rture
a man like Qadi Fazil?
There is no cruelty.
Old cases will be investigated
with the Qadi Efendi's order.
If no crime is found, he
will probably be released.
No matter what...
I will not allow my head deputy, who I sent
as an ambassador, to be treated this way.
Take him out of
prison immediately.
No! I cannot go against
the court's decision.
That would be insulting
the people of Mosul.
I won't say it again.
Bring Qadi Fazil out of
prison and bring him here.
Yes, Emir Hadhrat.
This illness that rots my skin
every day is about to defeat me.
I know. I am aware.
I will leave behind a city
that is about to fall apart.
Even though I accepted
my disease as my armor...
My god, why did you abandon me??
Why did you take
your armor from me?
I'm sorry, your majesty.
But god was never on your side.
-How dare you?
-Forgive my courage.
But someone needs
to tell you the truth.
What you call armor
was your disaster.
And I'm afraid that disaster
is about to knock on your door.
Your people, everyone,
say death is at your door.
Listen to them.
You will hear it.
If I can, I want to go on
hajj this year, Semse.
May it be blessed, my Valide.
Then let's say may
Allah let you go there.
Aameen, my daughter.
Actually, I wanted
to go with Ayyub Bey.
But he won't come.
My grandchild was
born safe and sound.
Salahuddin has turned
his face toward al-Quds.
We must thank for all of this.
I wish I could come with you
too, but my baby is too small.
My Allah will let you
go too, my daughter.
-I will pray a lot for you.
-Thank you.
Then don't waste time here.
Start getting prepared.
I told Zumrut.
Preparations have started.
I'll go and see how
things are going.
Mother, I am sorry.
I am bothering you.
I wanted to ask how we should
prepare the wedding meal.
You know better
than me, my daughter.
You know what is best.
Semse. Please help me.
How can I fix this situation?
-We will fix it.
Don't worry.
My Sultan.
Thanks to the one
who brought us together.
What you did was not
right, Sultan Salahuddin.
You talk about islamic unity,
but you disgrace us here.
We saw your answer
to our call for unity.
I conquered Kerek and you didn't even
send a single letter to congratulate me.
Now I want to march to al-Quds,
but instead of supporting me...
...you put my most loyal man who
came with a message of unity into prison.
You established the Ayyubi
state and caused division.
We have been loyal to the
Zengi Sultan since the beginning.
Let's not deceive each
other, Emir Kaymaz.
The only thing you care
about is your own future.
Forgive me for keeping you busy with this
situation in a difficult time, my Sultan.
You did not do anything shameful
to lower your head, Fazil. Don't worry.
Now I will take Fazil
and leave this place.
But I won't leave Mosul.
The court will take place.
If Fazil's guilt is clearly
proven, I will punish him myself.
This is not the right
way, Sultan Salahuddin.
But let it be as you say.
Let's see what the people
of Mosul will say about...
...your call for unity when
they see you favoring someone.
In the end, Damascus, Mosul, and
Aleppo will unite for the same cause.
And no one will be
able to prevent it.
Know that, Emir Kaymaz.
You better put a
bandage on your hand.
Right now, the only thing that can
make me feel better is revenge, Lord Guy.
I will...
...take revenge on
that Salahuddin...
...and our little
King, Lord Guy.
I was with Baldwin.
I wanted to help him
remember his weakness.
He also knows he is
getting closer to death.
So why am I, Renaud of
Chatillon, still waiting for god?
That's your weakness
Chatillion... your anger.
It stops you from
seeing the next step.
What is the next step?
What happens if I k*ll Baldwin and
take the throne before peace is made?
What happens?
I will go down in history as
the King who lost Jerusalem.
So peace must be made first.
After we grow stronger during
that time, we must get rid of Baldwin.
Lord Guy, I admire your wise
thinking about the next step.
But...
... will not be easy to control this
anger inside me and the bloodthirsty beast.
Then that beast I inside
must remember this.
After getting so close to the
final stage of my detailed plan...
...if it makes one mistake, it will even
miss the mouse hole I took it out of.
It must never forget that.
Are you sure this will work?
-I am certain.
I just gave birth. I can't
go on such a journey.
But you can accompany
our Valide on the way to haj;.
And you say this will help
me make peace, right?
Right.
Maybe I am the one who needs
to visit the sacred lands the most.
I don't know how else I can
cleanse myself from so many sins.
Why are you worried?
Soon, there will be
a battle in al-Quds.
I don't want to leave Boru
alone on the b*ttlefield.
The decision is yours of course.
But if you ask my advice, I
say don't ignore this matter.
Let me tell you a secret.
If you want to be happy with your husband,
you should also make his mother happy.
My count, your request for a meeting
was delivered to Sevbek castle.
What about the other matter?
That's also handled but...
I know it's very dangerous.
Can you offer
any other solution?
We must force them to surrender the
castle. This is the only chance we have.
I hope everything goes
as you planned, my count.
I hope so.
Bozok, have you increased
the number of soldiers?
We did, Atsiz Bey. We did.
From the old count
of Ibelin, Balian.
What does he want?
He says he will
siege the castle.
First, he wants to meet with us.
With what will he siege the
castle? With which soldiers?
He didn't marry Maria for nothing,
Atsiz Bey. She has many loyal soldiers.
We said only a madman would attack
us in this state, and here we have one.
We must be cautious. Let's
see what he says in the meeting.
I wouldn't think Salahuddin would bring his
army to the gates of Mosul for Qadi Fazil.
This is not good, William. By
giving Fazil, I lost my chance.
We both know he didn't
bring the army just for Fazil.
Actually, Salahuddin
gave us a great chance.
What kind of chance is this?
We will tell the people that the Ayyubis
see themselves superior than other muslims.
We will tell them that...
Salahuddin taking
Fazil was just a test.
If you don't resist him, in the end, Mosul
and Aleppo will be taken by Salahuddin.
That's the truth anyway.
Then you must send a
letter to the emirs of Aleppo.
Especially Emir Tuman...
...must come here to Mosul with
Sultan Ismail, the son of Nureddin Zengi.
If he comes, he'll
come with his army.
Good then.
If needed, you will
resist with your swords.
You must show him that the Zengi state and
its Sultan are still standing and strong.
You have no other choice.
We did well by building the
headquarters here, my Sultan.
As long as we are here, Kaymaz
can't make a treacherous move.
Be understanding
towards the people.
We must solve Fazil's
case as soon as possible.
My Sultan, they might use this case as an obstacle
against the unity you are trying to build.
If that happens...
I don't want to slow you
down on the way to al-Quds.
How can you say that?
We do not leave those
who set out with us behind.
With Allah's permission, we will solve
everything without moving the army and...
...return to Damascus.
Inshaallah.
Who was the woman
who made this complaint?
Zeynep Hatun.
Her brother was slandered with a
plan while working in the treasury.
In that day's conditions,
I couldn't solve it.
And Zeynep Hatun felt offended.
Apparently she's still angry.
She both blames and
feels sorry for Qadi Fazil.
I'll talk to Zeynep
Hatun as well.
As you deem
appropriate, my Sultan.
First, we need to find
out if Mazhar is alive.
If we find and bring him,
my innocence will be proven...
...and the real guilty
ones will be exposed.
Inform Karategin and Albiz.
Finding Mazhar is their duty.
As you order my Sultan.
My Sultan.
Elyasa, with Maes...
...you will listen carefully to what's
going on in the marketplace and inns.
As you order my Sultan.
Everyone will be on alert.
Kaymaz holds a
grudge against us.
Without giving a chance to fitna,
we must keep people on our side.
Otherwise, I will be forced to do
something I really don't want to.
Listen to me carefully.
You'll say Salahuddin doesn't care
about anyone but his own followers...
...and he wants the treasures of Mosul
and Aleppo after Egypt and Damascus.
-Is that clear?
-As you order.
To provoke people, do
whatever you have to.
Let me be proud.
The brother of the
claimant, Mazhar.
We have to find
him before they do.
Maybe, he's already dead.
I take actions by certain
information not possibilities.
I recommend you to
do the same, Kaymaz.
I shouldn't have let
him go in the first place.
Everything is clear.
What should I say, Emir Kaymaz?
You should keep quiet.
What?
Should I act against the Islam law
while the deficit in the account is clear?
You have to do it.
Either you will pretend
dead about this...
...of your sister
Zeynep will be dead.
You will pay for what you did.
One way, somehow, the
system you set here will ruin you.
Did you send him away?
The case had got complicated.
I had to do it to stop
things from getting worse.
I assigned a man to find him.
Look, William.
If Mazhar is still alive and
Salahuddin finds him before we do,
...our plan will fail.
You just keep provoking
people against Salahuddin.
I'll deal with
Mazhar personally.
There are a thousand cunning
foxes wandering in your mind, right?
To be able to survive in
the kingdom of Jerusalem,
...you need to have
more than one plan.
Mother, can we
talk if you have time?
We should have consulted
you earlier about the marriage.
We made a mistake.
But...
I grew up without a mother.
I got raised like a boy.
I know only a little
about manners.
Please forgive me.
And accept me as your daughter.
Teach me what I don't know.
I spoke too harshly.
I'm sorry.
Estaghfirullah.
What is it?
The only keepsake
from my mother.
As you are my mother now,
...I'll be honored
if you accept it.
Beautiful.
I accept.
But you should keep it.
What is done is done.
You are my daughter now.
I feel envious, though.
Mother, I want to accompany
you on the hajj road if you approve.
By performing hajj, I want to
crown the new page I opened.
Of course, I approve.
I will be very pleased.
May your relationship
be mubarak.
This matter touched you in
your sensitive spots, I guess.
Zeynep isn't an
ordinary person to me.
If that disaster hadn't
happened to us,
...she and I would...
She was the reason of the
never-ending sorrow on your face, huh?
You two never stopped
loving each other, huh?
I couldn't take her out of
my mind and heart ever.
And now I see how she felt.
Heart affairs aren't
like state affairs, right?
They aren't, my Sultan.
The knot the fate makes
cannot be untied with a mind.
Sayra Hatun and I were great
enemies but we came together.
Inshaallah, so will you.
I'm sorry, Boru Bey.
I forgot to congratulate you
while dealing with my own matters.
-May Allah make it mubarak.
-Eyvallah.
It's too late for us to
come back together.
I just want to ruin the set up
and pay my debt to Zeynep.
The fate must have brought you
together after a long time for a reason.
Whatever Allah
does, he does nicely.
-Stop. You can't pass.
-Inform him. Don't you hear?
I have to see the Sultan.
Zeynep.
My Sultan.
Claimant Zeynep Hatun is
here. She is a little hot tempered.
She wants to see you.
My Sultan.
I can talk to her
first if you let me.
No need.
Let her in.
As you order, my Sultan.
Come in, Zeynep Hatun.
What makes you so angry?
I head that you
were a just Sultan.
But I got disappointed.
What is Qadi Fazil doing
in your tent, mighty Sultan?
You can't even protect
your own castles.
How do you think you
can take Sevbek from us?
My count.
Boru.
What is it, GokBoru?
GokBoru!
A Muslim trading convoy
on the hajj road got attacked.
How do we know it's true?
I can wait for you
to get it confirmed.
But remember this.
Every day you don't
surrender the castle,
...I will turn that road
into hell for muslims.
Think wisely. Season
of hajj is coming.
And not only your trading
caravans will use that road.
Right?
It's not as it seems.
We can explain everything.
You can't explain taking a
convict out of the dungeon.
Have a seat. Let's talk calmly.
I got slandered many times too.
I know how a person feels
suffocated against that immoral attack.
I'm sorry for your brother.
It's my duty to find the perpetrators
of the slander put on him.
-You disobeyed the court's decision.
-For a reason.
You think Fazil is a suspect
but he's also a victim of this case.
Everything was going to be revealed
after the books were reviewed.
It will be.
If Fazil has any
guilt in this case,
...I will punish him personally.
How can I be sure of that?
If I had another intention, I
would leave the city with Fazil.
Yet I'm here for the
result of the case.
I'm not running away from the
court's decision, Zeynep Hatun.
Sultan of Damascus always
keeps his words, Zeynep Hatun.
If we don't keep our words,
then you can bring us to account.
Emir Kaymaz...
...is trying to prevent the unity I'm trying to
establish with the excuse of your brother's case.
I advise you to be
careful about him.
And remember this, Zeynep Hatun.
Neither Qadi Fazil
nor I is your enemy.
I have no grudge
against anybody.
I just want my
brother to be acquitted.
Gold never loses its value
even if it is covered with mud.
Justice will be served
sooner or later. Be at ease.
Thank you. Excuse me now.
Thank you, my Sultan.
Her anger towards you is
because of her great love for you.
You should show effort to
repair the broken heart, Fazil.
Excuse me, my Sultan.
As you all know,
...Sultan Salahuddin
ignored the judge's decision...
...and took his regent Qadi Fazil out of
the dungeon with the threat of swords.
These holy lands who raised
many great and mighty sultans...
...have never seen and suffered
anyone disrespecting the laws of Islam.
This is unacceptable by both
Islam laws and state traditions.
Sultan Salahuddin is disrespecting this state
which is a legacy from our great Sultan Nureddin...
...and even has established
a state in the name of himself.
He can dare to do that even now.
I'm asking you.
What kind of tyrant will he be when he
becomes the leader of the Islam world?
His hands touching
our court today...
...will touch our properties, then our
lands and finally our lives tomorrow.
He's right. Emir
Kaymaz is right.
For this reason, as
the nobles of Mosul,
...we should warn people against
Salahuddin before it's too late...
...and call them for getting
united against Salahuddin.
Zeynep!
Why did you come after me?
I said what I said.
But I didn't.
-No need to talk anymore.
-Don't do this, Zeynep.
We both suffered for years.
We can talk at least.
Every night, to hear you
forgive me in my dreams,
...I explained myself to you.
But it never worked.
I can't describe the pain of waking up from
those deep sleeps into a world without you.
I thought you might
find me one way...
...and share my grief even if you
couldn't manage to save my brother.
And the emptiness I
fell into would be gone.
But I didn't hear any voices
at all from the other side.
My whole life is an
answer for you, Zeynep.
I always remained
faithful to you.
And so will I, to
my last breath.
Both loyalty and
love require proof.
I have no proof but the wrinkles
on my face and my lifeless eyes.
If they aren't enough,
...give me a chance
to satisfy your heart.
You heard the Sultan.
He will investigate this case.
And then?
Then what?
Then we will heal our wounds
just to spite our wasted years.
Too late for us, Fazil.
It's all history now.
The ornament of my heart.
Don't go.
It's for you.
While the ornament of my
heart is standing in front of me...
...my eyes see neither
embroidery nor lace, Zeynep.
Time makes
everything old, Fazil.
Ornaments will
fall apart one day.
When that day comes, let the embroidery on
this handkerchief speak for our feelings.
Then I promise.
It will be on my heart forever.
This on the outside...
...you in the inside.
I kept my promise.
I swear to the owner of my life.
I never took your
handkerchief out...
...I never took you out from my
heart, not even for a moment, Zeynep.
You are still the
ornament of my heart.
And this handkerchief
is the symbol of that.
The loss of Kerek and the
worsening illness of King Baldwin...
...have caused great worry and
fear among the people, my Queen.
What do they say
about Salahuddin?
The victories he had
in Ibelin and Kerek...
...made him an invincible commander
in the eyes of the people of Jerusalem.
They are sure that an ill King like Baldwin
cannot defend Jerusalem against Sultan Salahuddin.
The crowd called "the
people" is like a mindless choir.
The sound they make is ugly
enough to make us nauseous.
But this time,
unfortunately, they are right.
Baldwin.
How are you, Baldwin?
Are you feeling better?
Look at my face.
I can see you're trying
hard not to look away.
There is a hidden expression
of pain and disgust on your face.
No.
That's not true.
I saw this illness that eats my
body as armor gifted to me by god.
This armor..
...helped me find the holy grail
that everyone said could not be found.
It helped me defeat Salahuddin,
who was said to be invincible.
What will happen now, sister?
Why did the scales of this
armor gifted by god start to fall?
No, don't talk like that.
You will get better.
No.
I will die.
And I will die very soon.
No.
I know.
Everyone is talking about this.
Now I want to rest a little.
Alright.
But despite everything...
...until the last scale
of my armor falls...
...I ..Will not stop defending
my kingdom and my city.
His majesty is getting
worse every day.
And you can't do anything.
That must be very painful.
I don't need to hear
the truth from you too.
I'm not the only one
telling the truth, Princess.
Outside the palace, the whole
city is talking about this truth...
...and that his majesty cannot defend Jerusalem
against Salahuddin because of his illness.
King Baldwin is still on his
throne. And he will get better.
You must see
the truth, Princess.
Baldwin... your brother will die.
And after him, the throne will..
...belong to your
husband, Lord Guy.
I am talking about Lord Guy, the man you
tried to k*ll by cooperating with William.
It is clear that a man even his own wife
tried to k*ll does not deserve an honorable
position like the
kingdom of Jerusalem.
There is nothing
I can do about it.
Actually, there is.
You can finish the job
you started with William.
Of course this
time, I will help too.
I never thought I would
regret saving his life so much.
What will happen after that?
You will be the only
heir to the throne.
And then you can
choose the best person...
...to defend Jerusalem
against Salahuddin.
We both know very well that no one but Balian
can defend this city against Salahuddin.
Are you saying this
as Balian's wife?
I say this as someone who sees that Jerusalem
is on the edge of a cliff, Princess.
The only way to save Jerusalem is for
guy to die and Balian to defend the city.
This is our only chance.
All units must be
sent out quickly.
Balian's eyes are
blinded by furor.
The first unit has left the
castle to secure the road.
I also learned how
they planned the attack.
They attack from far and in a scattered
way. That way, they mislead their enemies.
It is clear they don't have many men.
They have no other choice but hit and run.
We must hurry up.
May Allah forbid...
...if the caliph hears about this,
our Sultan will be in a difficult position.
Then we will be disgraced and
not be able to go back to Damascus.
Right.
My count, no matter how hard we try,
Salahuddin's commanders will not give us the castle.
I am aware.
They also know we
are few in number.
Even the few men we lost in the last
caravan raid were very wearing for us.
-Did their troops leave the castle?
-They did, my count.
But you are not going
to do what I think, right?
We will do that.
In Kerek, we were strong.
They pulled us outside.
Now they are strong.
-We found a way to pull them out.
-My count...
-...you may want to reconsider it.
-Tell the soldiers to get ready, Marcus.
We are marching to Sevbek.
We will fight.
Yes, my count.
The news is not good, my Sultan.
The opinion leaders of the
city have come to the palace.
They complained because you
took Qadi Fazil out of the dungeon.
This is the opportunity
Emir Kaymaz was waiting for.
As you guessed Sultan Hadhrat,
he wanted to grow the fire.
Thus, everyone is very negative
towards the Ayyubis in the marketplace.
The emirs of Aleppo
will not stay silent either.
It is certain they will
side with each other, but...
But they know that
will not be enough.
It is also certain they will
ally with the crusaders again.
Infidels are involved in this.
The court will take place.
If Fazil's quilt is clearly
proven, I will punish him myself.
This is not the right
way, Sultan Salahuddin.
But let it be as you say.
Let's see what the people
of Mosul will say about...
...your call for unity when
they see you favoring someone.
Brother.
When we went to the palace, I think
someone else was there in the room.
While Kaymaz was talking, he
kept looking that way secretly.
We don't know what they
are trying to do. Stay alert.
As you order my Sultan.
We must stand against
the chaos they caused.
Or else, if the people get
angry with us, it will not be good.
There is news from the scouts. Balian
is marching to Sevbek with his army.
That traitor saw the army
leaving the castle as a chance.
-Let's go out.
-Ibrahim is right.
Let's k*ll them in the field.
If we face them when they don't
expect us, we can destroy them.
Then let's not
waste time. Let's go.
This might be our
last battle, Marcus.
I must fight for Ibelin and
Jerusalem until my last drop of blood.
But if you want, you can return.
My count, I will also fight
for you until my last breath.
My count!
-Who sent it?
-Someone very important.
Is it bad news, my count?
Depends.
We are going back, Marcus. A more urgent
and important duty is waiting for us.
Sultan Salahuddin trampled
down the honor of Mosul.
He didn't recognize
the court's decision.
If Emir Kaymaz was wise, he
would be on the Sultan's side.
Sultan Salahuddin is fighting
against the infidels alone.
-You are a spy of the Ayyubis.
-Watch your words.
I don't serve anyone! I
say what I believe is right.
Shame on you! Traitor!
Attention! Our Sultan is
coming! Pull yourself together!
Instead of hurting these people,
come and tell me. Here I am.
We do not recognize those who do not
recognize the decision of the Zengi state.
You talk about Muslim unity
but only work for your own benefit.
Watch your words
or I'll shed your blood.
I know who is
holding your leash.
Of course, there are
sincere people among you.
But when a fight breaks out, the innocent
will suffer along with the guilty ones.
Know that.
Know those who whisper
bad things in your ears...
...and cause fitna
among the believers.
There is no fight
in the Islam world...
...where crusaders
are not involved.
Yo I
...Salahuddin is not satisfied with
the treasures of Damascus and Egypt.
He did not have enough after sucking my uncle Sultan
Nureddin's and my father Melik Mevdud's blood.
Now he wants Mosul and Aleppo,
which are under our control. Is that right?
Everything happened
just as I told you, my Melik.
He used Fazil as an excuse
and brought the army to our gates.
-His intention is clear.
-My name is Izzeddin Mesud.
I will not leave the Zengi legacy to
a traitor who is not of Zengi blood.
Apparently...
...we need to remind Salahuddin who the
real state and true leader of the ummah is.
It won't be easy to remind this to
someone who established a state...
-...despite the Zengis.
-Salahuddin used your father Melik Mevdud..
...and your uncle Sultan
Nureddin only for his own benefit.
My brother Yaruki
was also his victim.
The Zengi state and the Zengis
who will keep it alive are still alive.
I built a headquarters across Mosul
with troops loyal to Sultan Ismail.
It is time to show the Ayyubis
who the real leaders are...
...and under which sanjak's
shadow these lands rest.
Do you know who is the
man sitting in this table?
The chief consultant of the King of
Jerusalem. The archbishop, William.
He is the main reason of the
fight between the brothers here.
On the contrary.
Sultan Salahuddin is trying to acquit himself
by blaming the others as he always does.
He wants to get rid of the price
of his quilt by misleading people.
Stop nagging and...
...explain why you are in Mosul.
Neither Mosul nor
Aleppo is my enemy.
If you had accepted our peace offer,
Damascus wouldn't be my enemy either.
Our King wants peace.
I'm here to convey his
good wishes to Emir Kaymaz.
Don't let him deceive you.
Emir Kaymaz is
collaborating with this heathen.
I have no secret agenda.
I'm among people.
Besides, I'm not hiding myself.
But you, Sultan Salahuddin,
always look for enemies.
You intend to make Mosul and
Aleppo to be subject to your own state...
...destroy the name
of Zengi completely.
William is right.
You are the enemy of Zengi.
Our enemy isn't
crusaders but Ayyubis.
How can you be so vile?
Didn't they crusaders attempt to
harm our lives and honor for a long time?
I'm doing nothing but continuing
the jihad of Sultan Nureddin.
I'm trying to
continue our cause...
...not to remove his name.
Your ambition and obstinacy
will bring disasters to all our lands.
The day the heathen kingdom of Jerusalem
leaves these lands, people will be peaceful.
Jerusalem is too precious to leave
to the warlike people of both sides.
My holy city will always belong
to the one who loves it most.
Do you claim you love al-Quds
that you turned into a bloodbath?
I'd never avoid sacrificing
my life for a single rock in it.
And I assure you...
...that I know Jerusalem better than
you which you are risking everyone for.
Let's have a debate.
So we can find out which of us is
more familiar with the holy temple.
And people will decide who is
the friend or the enemy accordingly.
Come on, warriors!
Stop.
One of the scouts is coming.
What happened?
Balian has gone
back with his soldiers.
What's that supposed to mean?
A new plan?
Maybe, he intends
to draw us into a trap.
It can be anything.
Some of you follow them.
Send a message to the
castle if anything comes up.
Be careful.
-As you order.
-Come on, come on!
Let's say you realized your
dream and captured Jerusalem.
As a Muslim, which gate
would you use to enter the city?
Hadhrat Jesus entered
through the golden gate.
That's why your
kings prefer that one.
I highly respect Hadhrat Jesus,
who was a messenger of Allah, but...
...I don't want to keep the
tradition of your cruel kings.
I'm the successor
of Nureddin Zengi.
I'll enter from Damascus
with the minbar he got built.
The one who knows
the golden gate...
...should also know the church of resurrection
that god blessed and is the center of the world.
How can you rule Jerusalem
without showing respect to it?
I learned respecting to people's
beliefs from the main source.
Just for this reason, Hadhrat Omar refused
performing salaat there when he entered al-Quds.
Now you answer.
Do you show respect to al-Aqsa
which Allah forbids for hon-muslims?
Sure.
Is that why templars keep their horse
there although we warned several times?
Get this into your
mind, William.
Only we can provide peace
in al-Quds as we did before.
If you mean the
reign of caliph Omar,
...caliph's conditions
wasn't a gift.
But just small opportunities
for those who bowed.
We call it 'eman',
which means insurance.
The guarantee of different
religions to live in Harmony.
But when you came there,
the guarantee was ruined.
The history will never forget the bloodshed in
the streets when you entered the city in 492.
I'm asking you.
Which holy water could clean
the innocent blood shed that day?
-Long live Sultan Salahuddin!
-Long live Sultan Salahuddin!
What happened then was
god's wrath to end the invasion.
God's wrath?
Or people's wildness?
"Blessed are the merciful.”
"Because they will find
mercy, the Bible says.
You claim you will show
mercy to non-muslims?
You don't understand because you don't
even show mercy to christians, do you?
Did you ancestors even show mercy to orthodox
christians when they entered al-Quds?
Or did they drive them out of al-Quds and turned the
city into the one where only catholics could live?
Yes.
It was temporary. It
was reformed afterwards.
When the byzantine emperor intervened and
brought them back with political pressure, right?
We aren't like you, William.
It's our duty to protect
people's lives and honor.
Everybody living in al-Quds,
both muslims and christians,
...will live in peace
under my command.
These are just good wishes.
I can never believe you'll bring peace
in Jerusalem after what you did in Mosul.
I don't intend to convince you.
Everything will be
revealed soon, anyway.
Al-Quds is a gift, William.
The question isn't owning
it but being worthy of it.
We're running out
of time, my Sultan.
If we can't find Mazhar, I can't
keep my promise for Zeynep.
We gave the promise together,
Fazil. Don't be hopeless. We'll find him.
No news from Karategin.
There is always hope.
Inshaallah.
My Sultan.
We've got informed that Izzeddin Mesud, son
of Melik Mevdud, is approaching the army camp.
He's with Emir Kaymaz and
Yaruki's brother Emir Tuman.
Any news from inside the city?
What we feared happened.
People got divided.
The followers of Ayyubis and the followers of
Sultan Ismail have turned against each other.
It's hard to say but even
some blood got shed.
No matter what, I will talk
to them for common sense.
If this fire grows bigger,
we can never stop it.
What if they insist?
Sir, a guest wants to see you.
-Who?
-Not giving a name.
Let him in.
Finally.
I hope you are
here with good news.
Melik Mevdud became
a martyr in my arms.
And now it's sorrowful that
I'm treated like a stranger...
...in this city which is
a memorial from him.
Everybody is treated the way
how they come, Salahuddin.
You are the one who established an army camp
in this city I inherited from my father.
And it's your faithless steward who collaborated with
crusaders and turned brothers against each other.
Is that true?
This is clearly a
slander, my Melik.
I just hosted William who
came for a visit of courtesy.
Sultan is saying those
words to cover his own guilt.
If you had hosted my messengers as you
hosted William, we wouldn't be here now.
This matter is beyond
Qadi Fazil now.
This is about the
future of the Zengi state.
You intend to capture our
cities with the excuse of unity.
If I wanted to
capture you by force,
...I could do that
easily, as you know.
I do not intend to show my power,
fight or shed the blood of my brothers.
I intend to gather muslims under
one sanjak against the heathens.
If you say you are sincere
about your claims and wishes,
...give me Qadi Fazil then.
Leave the decision
to the Zengi state.
My Sultan.
My boots have still the
mud of Kerek on them.
I risked my life for jihad.
You can't evaluate my
sincerity through this matter.
Then I will make a decision by
seeing your actions not your words.
But you should know
that this won't end up well.
I invite you one last time
to brotherhood and unity.
They say building it takes a lifetime,
destroying takes a day. Don't destroy it.
Don't waste the efforts of Sultan
Nureddin and Melik Mevdud.
Don't break our
bond of brotherhood.
We also warn you one last time.
Stay away from Aleppo and Mosul.
If you don't stop being stubborn,
our Zengi army is outside.
If blood is shed, don't think
the w*r will be over here.
I won't hesitate to march to Damascus
to take back what my ancestors left.
Don't trust the caftan
given by the caliph.
Know your limits,
Melik Izzeddin.
Who are you to
threaten the Sultan?
He is your Sultan.
He is not a Sultan for us.
William did better in
Mosul than we expected.
Muslims have already set the
fire of rebellion against Salahuddin.
So now will Salahuddin die by the fire
set by people believing the same religion?
If that happens, we will get rid of
Salahuddin without getting tired.
My Sultan.
It was clear they would
bring it to this point.
Please listen to me. I can't accept
people losing their lives because of me.
Even though you know
I it's not because of you..
...why do you keep saying
the same things Fazil?
Maybe it's not actually
because of me, yes.
But we faced a knot
because of this issue.
Give me to them.
Let the swords stay in
their sheaths, my Sultan.
When your feelings got involved,
your sharp mind got cloudy.
Do you think if I give you
to him, he will be satisfied?
They can't do more than that.
Maybe they will learn a lesson.
Maybe some good will come
from this evilness, who knows.
We are friends
with you right here.
Even if you stop protecting me
now, it won't change anything.
Sometimes friendship
means giving up.
But sometimes we are tested
with what we will give up or not.
Those standing against me are the children
of Nureddin Zengi and Melik Mevdud...
...who I loved
more than my life.
The last thing I want is to
draw a sword against them.
That's why.
Give me to them, let the swords
stay in their sheaths, my Sultan.
I will not give
you to them, Fazil.
That is my final word.
The troops are waiting for your
order to attack, Melik Izzeddin.
Today is the day of
victory for the sons of Zengi..
I would sacrifice my
life for you, my Sultan.
But please reconsider this.
I said my final word, Fazil.
-My Sultan. In Sevbek..
-My Sultan!
Balian is here.
He wants to talk to you.
-Balian?
-Did he come here with his soldiers?
-No, my Sultan.
He says he came to
make peace, not to fight.
So you stopped hiding
and sh**ting arrows, Balian.
Did you come to water the
seeds of fitna that William planted?
On the contrary...
...I came not to
cause a fight...
...but to stop you from shedding
the blood of your own brothers.
How can you do that when you
don't even have the power to stop...
...the blood in your own
veins from being shed?
I see two Muslim armies standing
against each other because of Qadi Fazil.
And I have the only proof
to prove his innocence.
Cut it short, Balian.
Salahuddin, anyone who knows
you even a little knows that...
...the last thing you want is
to fight against your brothers.
I offer you a chance to both
prove Qadi Fazil's innocence...
...and save yourself from
shedding the blood of your brothers.
In return for what?
In return for accepting
our King's peace offer.
Take the sack off his head.
Mazhar.
I have the Mazhar you've
been looking for everywhere...
...and the evidence that will
prove Qadi Fazil's innocence.
Think carefully, Salahuddin.
Peace with the crusader kingdom
or w*r with your own brothers?
Choose.
