My Hunkar...
Why are we here while the
army is attacking? I am curious.
Wait, Lala. Wait.
I brought you to the place
where fate and history meet.
Wait...
...and witness.
I know the questions
on your mind.
You wonder about the fire matter.
-Right...
To make Konstantinos think...
...there Is a general
attack and not notice...
...that we split the army,
every soldier lit two fires.
To deceive them, even the glorious
Shahi fired at the least expected wall.
Of course, this is
a part of the plan.
Because I want Konstantinos
to think they have time...
...until the Shahi is
ready for another shot.
Why, my Hunkar?
What do you have
In mind, my Hunkar?
The key to Constantinople is...
...the Golden Horn.
The Golden Horn.
You know, the Golden Horn
walls are not very strong.
But Zaganos Pasha tried to pass those walls with
his troops twice but they could not succeed.
It's wise to take
precautions considering this.
Also, It Is Impossible to pass
the chain in the Golden Horn.
Because Konstantinos is a clever emperor
who could even chain the Golden Horn.
This is impossible.
We don't even have any
plans to get past this chain.
What are we doing here?
Stop seeing yourself and the civilization
you belong to helpless and incapable, Lala.
You will see, victory
will belong to Islam.
Now...
...If they are clever enough
to chain the Golden Horn...
...] am crazy enough to
walk the ships on land.
These cannon sounds are
the sounds of our victory.
These footsteps are our glorious marches
trampling the infidel's chest, Lala.
First, Constantinople, then the whole
world will kneel before us, you will see.
Possibilities grow stronger when
they unite with faith, my Sultan.
I am a witness to your faith.
But what about the means
to cross the Golden Horn?
Come. Come, let me show you what valiants
can achieve when they unite. Come, come.
See it yourself, Halil Pasha.
Do not allow them.
Bismillah.
Bismillah.
My Hunkar.
As if...
...as If it's a lion's den.
As if it is a wolves' tent.
SubhanaAllah.
A shipyard has been
established here, my Hunkar.
Every detail has
been considered.
With Allah's permission,
no place is impassable.
Come.
Very strange.. Very bizarre...
May MashaAllah...
May MashaAllah...
All this effort, all this food, and all these
materials... when did you transport them, my Hunkar?
VAllahi I am amazed.
The soldiers we have gathered
are warriors of the army of faith.
We say "cross" and
they cross the deserts.
We say "pass' and they
pass the steep mountains.
Without question, they
throw themselves into duty.
Come, come, it's
not over yet, come.
VAllahi, I have never seen
or heard of such a thing.
Lift, lift, Lift.
Pull, pull, pull!
I know, you are tired.
I see, you struggle, but...
In return for your efforts, there
Is such a great reward that...
...none of your
efforts will be In vain.
Go now.
My Pasha.
What is the situation?
How is the work going?
All skilled craftsmen, masters, and
apprentices of the Ottoman State are here.
They work tirelessly, my Pasha.
Make sure there are no mistakes.
Or we cannot answer either
to the Sultan or to Allah.
Do not worry, my Pasha.
Come on, keep working.
-Is this a shipyard, my valiant?
-My Pasha.
The issue Is not just building
galleys. It is moving them over land.
That is why the knots must be
loose at the start and tight at the end.
In harsh movements, they may break, may
Allah forbid. Your efforts would be wasted.
That's why they must be
flexible to avoid trouble.
-Now go and tell all the levents to tie the
masts as I said. -As you order, my Pasha.
-Everything is ready, my Pasha.
-Good.
Kurtcu, some torches have
gone out. Light them quickly.
The infidels will witness hell.
Light them, so that our
secret is not exposed.
As you say, my Pasha.
Zaganos Pasha...
I still cannot understand
It. You say the galleys...
...will move over
land, that's one matter.
You say dozens of galleys,
that's another matter. My Pasha...
...with which time and
what power will this happen??
Our Sultan ordered us to
work tirelessly, day and night.
If you ask with what power, with the power of our
unity, with the power of our faith, InshaAllah.
Alhamdulillah.
This place is important. It is
entrusted to you, my Pasha.
Do not worry, my Pasha.
Safely.
-May Allah protect you.
-Aameen Ishak Pasha.
If we can enter from the Halic side,
the walls there are weak, my Hunkar.
I understand that this
dream you have is glorious.
But its challenges are
also great, my Hunkar.
Why do you say this, Lala?
If we are In love, what
hardship can there be?
Like Ferhat, we will pierce through
the mountains and pass through them.
You are right, my Hunkar.
Love comes together with its beloved one for
sure. Even a mountain cannot stand in its way.
But what about the
sound of Ferhat's pickaxe?
What I call difficulty is the
noise we will hear, my Hunkar.
Love Is a da'wah.
Suffering is the witness.
If you have no witness,
you lose your da'wah.
I told you, we have
considered every detail.
I assure you, while I keep them busy In
front of the walls, they will not even be
able to lift their heads to look this way.
Excellent, my Hunkar,
excellent, my Hunkar.
I see that your plan is great.
However, you may have
thought of this as well, but...
I must express another
concern, my Hunkar.
Speak, Pasha.
Tell me your concerns, whatever
you see as lacking, so that...
...we can think about
it and find a solution.
Yes, my Hunkar.
Let's assume we keep all these
efforts hidden from Konstantinos.
But how will we hide it
from the Genoese in Galata?
Surely they will see it.
Then won't all the preparations we made
In secrecy become exposed, my Hunkar?
This is what I want to ask.
I don't know that either.
But I will find out.
Now, we cannot learn anything by
asking each other questions, Lala.
Let's go and ask the question to the
right person so we can get answers.
How, my Hunkar?
-Are we...
-Call the Galata Podesta, Gio.
He has all the answers we want.
Let's ask him.
May Lord Jesus
protect you and the city.
May Lord Jesus
protect you and this city.
Hurry!
These stones must be
broken and carried up faster!
-If necessary, pull in pairs!
-May Lord Jesus protect you and this city.
-Look, go check the walls. If there is the slightest
movement, come and inform me. -Yes, sir. -Faster!
Is the Grajuva ready?
Platon put all of it
under our control, sir.
-What about the oils we need?
-They are bringing them.
Before Shahi fires its second
shot, everything will be ready.
May Lord Jesus
protect you and this city.
May Lord Jesus
protect you and this city.
You continue.
May Lord Jesus
protect you and this city.
I'll come soon.
May Lord Jesus
protect you and this city.
May Lord Jesus
protect you and this city.
Hurry! Do not
stand there! Hurry!
I heard what Latins did
to you. But don't worry.
They will pay for it.
-It's not important. What is done is done.
This is not just done to you. It is an
attack on all our churches and beliefs.
No one can do this
to the soul of this city.
There will be a price for sure, but
not now. Mehmed is behind the walls.
This fight would mean handing
over the city to him ourselves.
Besides, If we needed to do something,
the Emperor would have done it.
The power behind the churches is not Konstantinos,
It Is me. They have challenged my power.
And they will get their answer.
What are these
silvers for, my Hunkar?
To please their eyes.
Now, first Gio's eye
must be pleased...
...SO that he considers our
offer with positive thoughts.
But what if he is not aware of this, my
Hunkar? Have you taken precautions for that?
Take Gio In.
This w*r has worn you out, Gio.
But we are used to seeing the Galatians, famous for
their bloodthirstiness, well-fed in times of w*r.
Rome's situation is obvious.
They have nothing left to give. But you
tend to handle everything on your own.
The wolf's neck is thick
because it takes care of itself, Gio.
However, I see that
you ask for our help.
Otherwise, the strongest weapon of
w*r would not be displayed so openly.
It Is true that we
ask for help from you.
But this is for your benefit.
How will it benefit us to stand
against Byzantium, Sultan Mehmed?
You will survive, Gio.
You will survive.
Because the Rome you stand
against has only one breath left.
But we, the Turks, will be on
these lands for centuries more.
Is the help you mentioned
for the operations on the hill?
The shine of silver has brightened the
darkness before your eyes, right, Gio?
What do you want?
For you to be blind today so you can see tomorrow,
for you to be mute today so you can hear tomorrow.
As long as my plan there remains a secret,
the opportunities I will offer you tomorrow...
...Will be far greater
than these silvers.
Let's say you
don't keep It secret.
You told them
the things you saw.
Then the last thing you and your
lineage will ever see will be my power.
I will get over those walls anyway.
I will take Constantinople anyway.
But this time, I will take it along with
the heads of those who oppose me today.
Now...
...the decision is yours, Gio.
Either you will be
pleased with these silvers...
...or with dark so ill.
It will be like as you wish.
This secret...
...will remain...
...between the Ottoman
State and the Galata Consul.
So, my Pasha...
I wonder, do they love living more, or
the silver? I do not understand it. Do you?
Is this how you apply the oil?
You must apply
the oil like this.
Thinly but evenly everywhere.
Too much makes it slippery.
Too little accelerates decay.
My valiants!
My valiants!
There are still dozens
of galleys to be made.
The oil we have is just enough.
But if you use it carelessly, it won't be
enough for even one galley, let alone ten.
That's why you must apply the oil
thinly and make the wood absorb it.
Use the oil carefully.
Come on! Come on!
No battering ram will break
this door. Do you hear me?
We will make it stronger.
Among so many soldiers, was it
your duty to do this, Francesco?
I had to let out my anger
somehow, Your Excellency.
What anger is this?
I saw your brother
Demetrius talking to Genadius.
So?
I gave him the duty of protecting
the churches to keep him occupied.
That means he is doing
his duty, Francesco.
I told you how well
I know Mehmed.
If he wants to take a city, he sends
his shadows before himself into that city.
I'm afraid that...
...your brother
Demetrius is a traitor.
Mehmed...
...Just as he stole
my brother from me...
...he stole your
brother from you.
There is a vast difference between
talking to Genadius and being a traitor.
If you think I would harm my
brother based on an accusation...
...you are wrong, Francesco.
Then give me a chance.
Let's see if it Is an accusation
or the truth, Your Excellency.
Hay MashaAllah.
Come on my valiant.
Come on.
Come on.
Ya Bismillah. Come on.
Pull it pull it.
Now turn it, let's Bismillah.
-My Pasha.
Saruca.
Alright. Lets rest now.
Allah Allah?
Saruca..
After these cannonballs are
fired, they first rise to the sky, then...
-...they fall as far inside as where they land, right?
-That is right, my Pasha.
If we adjust the range, it
can hit a flying bird in the eye.
Oh MashaAllah.
So, it will pass over the walls
and strike from above, right?
Yes my Pasha.
Good, good. What were
these called? Mortar, right?
Mortar cannon, my Pasha.
That's what our Sultan decided to call them.
-Excellent. Excellent. So?
When will we
fire the first shot?
We are waiting
for Zaganos Pasha.
He said our Sultan
would decide the time.
The cannons are
beating the walls.
Excellent.
As you ordered, the cannon fire
continues at intervals, my Sultan.
As you ordered, the
fires are also burning.
The screams of the cannons...
...the smoke of gunpowder
from the barrels...
...and the smoke of
the fire I had them lit...
...all hide us from
the enemy's eyes.
Therefore, follow my
orders word by word.
I am carrying out your orders
word by word, my Sultan.
We are seeing
its benefits. But...
What is your concern?
For now, the night covers what
happens like a veil, my Hunkar.
But what will happen at sunrise?
At sunrise, won't Rome wake up and realize
what is happening just like everything else?
We will not sleep so
that they do not wake up.
What do you mean?
At sunrise, you will take
the army to the b*ttlefield.
You will line them up
in front of the walls...
...So that when
Konstantinos sees that...
...he will not doubt the
fires we have lit here.
My Hunkar, if you are
considering a general as*ault...
...more than half of our
soldiers are exhausted and tired.
Leave it to me, Lala.
Tell Saruca to prepare
the mortar cannons.
I will be there at sunrise.
My Hunkar, all this time, your struggle was to
conquer the city without harming the people.
As far as I know, mortars
are used to sh**t from above.
Are you.. -Lala.
Neither the city nor the
people will be harmed.
I will never change my
decision, you know that.
As you say, my Hunkar.
I know.
I still...
...cannot understand this.
Where do you think Konstantinos
will set up his defense line against us?
Previously, they stopped us
between the inner and outer walls.
They will wait
for us there again.
That is their strongest
defense point.
Now that you know this...
...you must have figured
out what I want to do.
Byzantium will face us
In the same place again.
If we manage to sh**t the
mortars between the two walls...
...neither the people nor
the city will be harmed.
But the problem is that it is
difficult to make precise shots.
Do not worry, Lala. Trust me.
I have done my calculations.
Don't we have the rules of
mathematics for a reason?
By adjusting the right amount of
gunpowder and the right angle...
...we will make the cannonballs land exactly
where we want them, as if we placed them by hand.
Do not fall
Do not fall Satilmis.
Pull yourself together.
Selamun Aleykum brother.
What happened? You seem tired.
Aleykum Selam brother.
What happened Saltuk?
-Is there anything to eat here?
Wait...
What are you doing
here? Did you miss me...
...or the tunnels
brother? What happened?
Look at yourself.
Look at this tunnel. Who
would miss you, huh?
Where is Bali Bey?
He went to Payitaht.
Why didn't he take you?
-He left me to protect weak and helpless ones like you.
-Allah Allah!
You are a sapper now. That's
why they don't take you there.
You are not Akinji brother.
They do not consider you worthy of being an Akinji.
Accept it and understand it. -I am not an Akinji?
Am I not an Akinji? Have you
ever seen such an Akinji in your life?
If I had gone on that
duty with Bali Bey...
...who would have protected and watched
over such an important duty while our
Sultan was moving the ships over land, huh?
Bali Bey trusts his brother so much that
he assigned him to such an important duty.
Moving the ships?
Yeah sure!
Yes, didn't you know?
I was too tired to laugh
but you made me laugh.
They mocked with you. They deceived you. You are
talking about a ship! How is it going to move on land?!
WAllah brother, ships
will be moved on lands.
Our Sultan personally sent me
to call you because of this job.
That is the reason I'm here.
He wants to talk to me? -Yes.
Sultan? -Yes.
Ships are moving on land.
The Sultan wants to see me.
Look Saltuk, if there's something different
about this, If you are mocking with me...
...no matter your size
or strength, we will fight!
You think I'm going to take revenge on you and
fool you and you will realize it, is that so?
It's impossible, come on!
The ships... Towba astaghfirullah! Mehmed!
-Yes my Agha!
You will take care of others. Keep working, alright?
-EyvAllah!
Do not waste time!
-EyvAllah, don't worry, I will handle it!
We were all waiting
for you, my Bey.
Thanks to Allah, you are here.
Are you feeling better Ali Bey?
Alhamdulillah.
I feel better now after
seeing my valiants.
Where Is Alperen?
There is an attack preparation,
my Bey. He is with our valiants.
Hey MashaAllah.
A wolf's son becomes
a wolf, Ali Bey.
Right.
Mustafa...
What are the preparations outside
for? Is there a general attack?
There's a greater attack, my
Bey. Almost the entire army is there.
I wish the dervishes did not bother.
-Astaghfirullah.
The action is beyond the
thought and dhikr, Bahadir Bey.
And they say there's
mercy in bother.
Then, come and see mercy.
Well well well...
Come on, you are
wasting my time. Tell me.
Just waow...
WAllah my Pasha, when I first heard
It, I thought Saltuk was joking with me.
But you are really doing this.
You were serious. -Why is that?
Now, I've been thinking for a while, my
Pasha, could something like this be possible?
Actually, I thought of it.
But I couldn't even
convince myself.
MashaAllah, our Sultan has convinced
not only himself but also the whole army.
VAllahi halal to you.
Wait, stop talking,
don't waste Pasha's time.
My Pasha, we can make these ships,
but how are we going to move them?
You cut the wood,
we'll figure out the rest.
My Pasha...
...you should not
trust this Saltuk.
Let me just tell you that.
Don't mind the fact
that he looks like a bear.
His strength is just noise.
He can't pull these ships.
Let me tell you, he can't.
-Are you serious or joking?
-He can't.
Siyirmis, I'll make you sit...
My Pasha, give me permission.
With the name of Allah, Al-Qawiyy
[The All-Strong], let me test him.
I'll make him sit on it and pull it with my
own hands, and let him see it, my Pasha.
-You can't pull it.
-Come on, let's go. Let's not waste time.
Come on, work. Go.
What are you saying in front
of my Pasha? I can't pull it?
VAllahi he cannot.
-Come on! Come on!
You can't pull it.
You say I cannot, huh?
What is it Pasha?
-Are you still surprised?
-My Hunkar...
...there was shock before, but now
the matter is different, my Hunkar.
What's the matter?
You know...
...like my ancestors, my life has been spent in
peace in the palace and in battlefields during w*r.
Because of this, I have
many enemies and...
...respected friends.
As you know, I've
spent time with...
...many books and
writings in Kalemiye.
Now I understand that real sovereignty is not
about conquering empires, castles, and cities.
What is it about then?
My Hunkar.
You had a dream. You made us
believe in the conquest of Rome.
Now the matter is...
...you made so many believers and Janissaries
believe In this conquest. Besides...
...you convinced us that you
would move these ships on land.
My Hunkar...
I looked at your eyes.
I saw true sovereignty
and sultanate there.
May you always be with us.
However...
...It's not just my efforts.
But also your efforts.
From my Shahzade
years to my sultanate...
...you, my Lalas have
showed me the way.
Thank you.
Thank you our Sultan.
Thank you, my Hunkar.
Now, the work is entrusted
to you and Bahadir Bey.
Don't worry, my Hunkar.
My valiants!
My lions!
Don't think you are
just making galleys.
Don't think you're chasing
an impossible dream.
If you succeed, then
not only ours but also...
...the fortune of future
generations will change.
Constantinople, which will be lightened under
the shadow of the crescent, will be the
homeland of the Turks for thousands of years.
Long live our Sultan!
Qadi Efendi, Mara
Sultan is here.
She wants to see you.
-Let her In.
Welcome my Sultan.
Why are you here?
As you know, Qadi Efendi, we
are going through hard times.
I want to see the
desires in your basket.
Maybe there are weaknesses
we haven't seen or heard.
In the Ottoman state, both the Sharia and
customary law are as strong as the sword.
Where the Sharia rules,
there is no weakness.
Like the examples you see,
we solve many problems. But...
Yes, I'm listening.
There is something, my Sultan, it's an issue, but
we don't have the right or permission to intervene.
I didn't understand.
There is a martyr's wife, the wife of the
martyr who drank the sherbet of shahada
In front of Constantinople, my Sultan.
-Her neighbor told us.
-What is it?
Does she have a problem or a
need? Let's do whatever is necessary.
I wish that was the
case, my Sultan.
We would help her
without telling you. But...
...Hatun refuses
the state's allowance.
Does she have a resentment against the
state? We can send help from another source.
I went there myself and
spoke to her. It didn't work.
I sent someone else.
Perish the thought...
...She doesn't have a resentment against
the state. But she's very honorable.
She is stubborn
and doesn't accept it.
Does she have children?
Are they In trouble too?
That's the most important thing. She
has the right to choose her own fate.
However, her balance of sanity is
disturbed, and her mental state is not good.
The children are
In misery, hungry.
If the neighbors didn't leave a note
In the basket, we wouldn't even know.
I understand, Qadi Efendi..
Tell me where she is. I'm worried
now. I want to go and see for myself.
Attention!
Hadhrat Sultan Mehmed Khan!
-Are the mortars ready?
-Yes, my Sultan.
The cannonballs are
made as I said, right?
Yes, my Hunkar.
We reduced the amount of bronze and
Iron so that it can go higher and lighter.
Good.
Now it begins.
Are you scared?
No, you?
Yes I am.
If I wasn't scared, I
would have died long ago.
He is fighting hard to win.
Because he is more
afraid than any of us.
And because of
that, he will win.
Today, glory belongs to us,
and fear belongs to them.
Shake the ground you step on!
Make the stone walls they
sought refuge In their grave.
InshaAllah.
My Allah
Do not let infidels
humiliate us.
Fire!
sh**t!
Bismillah!
Ya Allah!
Ya Qayyoom! [The
Sustainer, The Self-Subsisting]
Fire!
Saruca. -My Hunkar.
Two turns back.
Two turns back.
Half turn forward.
Half turn forward.
My Allah
We believe only in You,
and fight for Your Name.
May You grant us victory.
My Allah, may
You grant us victory.
You will fail.
Good.
MashaAllah.
MashaAllah.
How is this possible?
How did he do this?
If they fire the Shahi
now, we cannot stop them!
Step back!
Everyone retreat!
We will meet them
behind! Hurry up! Everyone!
Now...
...It's Shahi's turn which shakes the sky and
strikes fear into the heart of the infidel.
Shahi is ready my Hunkar.
Then fire, O,
artilleryman! Fire...
...SO that the infidel's chest will
be filled with fear of the Muslims!
Come on!
My valiants!
My valiants!
Now it's time to bring torment to
the infidels. Come on! Ya Allah!
We have turned our Beylic
sword into a cane for ourselves.
Hey Ali Bey, hey.
My Bey, If you had
called, I would have come.
Before lying in the grave,
Evrensosoglu never seeks help.
-Don't you know, my valiant?
-Astaghfirullah my Bey.
Has Alperen returned?
General attack has
started. Not just him...
...Bali Bey Is also there.
All our army is in the
b*ttlefield evelAllah.
So you say our bravery
Is now left to legends...
Prepare my horse.
Since there is fight, It is
time to show our bravery.
But my Bey...
Do as I say. -EyvAllah my Bey.
All our preparation
went in vain.
All our plans were made to face
Mehmed's army between two walls.
What will we do now?
If Shahi opens another breach..
...the Turks will attack
with all their strength.
This will not be done by
waiting behind the walls.
What will we do, Francesco?
What is your suggestion?
Mehmed's entire army is
In front of Theodosius walls.
They are waiting for
Shahi to open a breach.
If I and the Latin warriors exit from
the Romanos gate and try a break out...
This is madness! Besides...
Demetrius is right.
Fighting the Turks outside
face to face is not easy.
We will wait until tonight.
The goal is not to
destroy their armies.
It's to disrupt their order
and break their faith.
You heard Francesco, brother.
Assign the soldiers from Morea where the Latins
are. This will also gain us time to prepare again.
-I don't want any problems.
-But... -We have no time.
Hurry, Demetrius.
If your brother is Mehmed's spy, he will
soon deliver this false message to him.
My Hunkar...
Our cannonballs made
infidels lose their minds.
They would have taken it
If they had any, my Pasha.
They say, if the infidel had a mind,
he would have become a Muslim.
Now while they are busy with our cannons, we
will take our work further on the Cifte Sutun.
My Hunkar, rest for a moment.
It's not time to rest, Lala.
You need sleep.
I know your work is hard,
every moment is precious.
But if you fall, there
will be no value In it.
Good then.
If I fall, you will
hold me, Pasha.
-You are our Grand Vizier for a reason.
-EvelAllah.
Come on, we have
many things to do.
Come on, little bird.
What do you think you are doing?
How dare you draw
your swords against me?
I am the Emperor's
brother! Drop your swords!
Francesco.
To Sultan Mehmed Khan.
A sudden raid will be conducted with two striking
units coming out from the Kalagros and Romanos gates.
And your army will be cornered around Reishin
. This is a matter of life and death for Rome.
Your army must be prepared for this. There
will be no defense of the walls this time.
Catch this traitor!
How dare you draw
a sword against me?
From whom did you
get this authority?
-Take him away!
-Let go! Let go!
I am the Emperor's
brother! Let go!
Isn't it Emperor's brother Demetrius
dragged by the Latins? -I said let me go!
Let me go!
They are taking
Demetrius. Come with me.
Your Excellency.
The cannonballs fired by Mehmed's hew weapons
are increasing our losses every minute.
We are trapped.
How long can we resist
with our existing methods?
This Is what he wants anyway.
He wants to wear us
down and make us give up.
Maybe he will strike at Hagia Sophia,
maybe the churches, everything, everywhere!
But we will resist!
Calm down, Your Excellency.
I don't think he will do that.
If Mehmed can enter this city, he wants to see a
loyal people and an undestroyed city in front of him.
Do you think I care about
what Mehmed wants, Notaras?
We will resist until he loses
all his power and gives up!
I don't care about his
wishes or his abilities.
The only thing I
care about is us.
No...
We can't resist with
our current methods.
We need to find something new.
Inform everyone.
Galata Podesta Gio...
...Venetian Bailo
Ciro Lomobarto...
...and the representative of Ahgona, Lorenzo
Di Pietro will be informed immediately.
But this is a bigger madness.
We are giving our city to vultures in order
to save it from wolves. -Do as I say!
Not only them, but we will also gather the council
of twelve, and this issue will be discussed there.
Coco, don't forget to
inform Coco as well.
Will Don Francesco attend
the meeting, Your Majesty?
I have given Francesco
an important duty.
When he finishes, he will
accompany us in the senate.
This is the situation, my Pasha.
Even if we build the galley, it will be
difficult to lower it to the Golden Horn.
Is there no way to solve this?
There is, my Pasha.
But it will take a long time.
First, we need to determine the water
routes that are leading to the swamp.
Then, we must block them.
Of course, we also have to wait
for the water in the swamp to dry up.
How long will this take?
It will take a long
time, my Pasha.
Can't we take the galleys
through another way?
We can, my Pasha, but the other areas
are steeper and covered with denser trees.
Even if we do that, it
will still take us ten days.
We must find a way, my Pasha.
There must be another way.
Let go!
Let me go!
You cannot do this to
me in this city! Let me go!
You are a traitor. And you are
going to pay for your betrayal!
Let him go!
Let Demetrius go!
Listen to me carefully! The
punishment for betrayal is certain.
Now, If anyone else has the
courage, let them try to take him.
Step back!
Or you will pay the price!
Come on!
-Take him to the dungeon.
-Let go! Let me go! Let me go!
Do we have martyrs
or injured ones?
How did this happen?
My Pasha, both oils and naphtha
and pitch were In this warehouse.
And a torch...
How can naphtha and pitch be in the same warehouse?
Didn't I tell you to place the pitch elsewhere?
My Pasha, when the rain suddenly came,
we got scared. We thought it would soak.
Did that make it better?
Did that make It better?
Were all the oils in this
warehouse, Bahadir?
All of them? -Yes my Pasha.
What am I going to
tell our Sultan now?
He entrusted this place
to me before he left.
My Pasha, our Sultan has left
the quarters and is on his way here.
What am I going to say?
We need to quickly evacuate
the churches close to the walls.
-Why?
-Haven't you heard?
Mehmed's new cannons have passed
the outer walls and fallen directly inside.
Do you know what that means?
It means he can strike directly
Into the city like this if he wants.
But he didn't do that.
Why do you think
he didn't do that?
I think he couldn't
calculate It.
But it won't take long for him to
destroy the city. Let's hurry up.
Do you think our enemy, Mehmed, who can strike between
the inner and outer walls, might not have calculated this?
Mehmed's concern is
not to destroy this city.
Do you believe this?
The only thing I believe is that we are
paying the price for our mistakes and sins.
That's all.
-What mistake, what sin? What are you talking about, Maria?
-Genadius!
Genadius!
Konstantinos threw his brother Demetrius
Into prison because of the Latins.
It's being said that
he will be k*lled.
I was talking
about our sins, sir.
Sins.
The cannons fired at
Eastern Rome today...
...will fall on your
cities tomorrow.
The wise Venetian Bailo...
Cirolo Mubarto.
The respected
representative of An con a...
Lorenzo Di Pietro.
And his brave sons.
And the brave Genoese warrior...
Coco Alesta.
And you..
...all our precious allies, I am grateful to you
for not ignoring my invitation and coming here.
Your Majesty.
It is an honor for us to serve
this city with our swords.
And, Galata Podesta Gio
Nicolo. Thank you for coming.
We have managed to repel
all of Mehmed's attacks so far.
But this time...
...everything is very different.
So you want help
from us again, right?
Yes.
But not just for my own city.
Mehmed will not stop
this time. If we don't unite...
You are already in debt that you cannot
repay. Moreover, this w*r is not our w*r.
Rome has never owed
anyone until today.
You know this best.
You owe us all the
wealth you have.
If you have no gold to pay us,
talking about the past is pointless.
These and the other
jewels in Hagia Sophia...
...and the gold that
adorns my throne.
These are all I can offer you.
But I have something
I can promise.
Are you with me?
Kogo.
There is no greater honor for us
than to fight as a man from An con a.
Your Majesty.
Gio.
The things I know are priceless.
Attention!
Hadhrat Sultan Mehmed Khan!
It looks like there
IS a problem.
It seems so my Hunkar.
Why did they stop working, Lala?
The oil warehouse, my Sultan.
Because of the
rain, all the naphtha...
...has been put
Into the warehouse.
Naphtha.
I entrusted this
place to you, Lala.
I know, my Sultan.
Bahadir Bey.
Come closer.
Come closer.
What happens when fire and
gunpowder come together?
They must not be placed
next to each other, right?
So, don't you know this?
How much oil do we have left?
All the oil is
spoiled, my Hunkar.
If you wish, we can send
news to all your lands.
The oil caravans will
set out immediately.
How long will it take for the
caravan to arrive here, Bahadir?
Bahadir Bey is right, my Hunkar.
Instead of waiting...
My Sultan, while the galley ships are being
built, we will send word to everywhere.
In two nights, at most
three, the oil will have arrived.
How many days do you think the
galleys will be completed, Zaganos?
At most two days, two.
My Hunkar, it's not possible to build dozens
of galleys in two days. -It is possible!
They will be completed!
They will, if you believe!
If you believe it will be finished in 2 days. But if
you don't believe it can't be completed in 2 years!
How much longer will
we trust this infidel Gio?
Does the infidel wait that long?
I wish this never happened...
I don't know If the information I
have is enough to defeat Mehmed...
...but what I will say will give you
a chance to breathe for a long time.
I'm listening to you.
I am sorry for being late.
But I had to handle some things.
We thought you ran away.
On the contrary...
I was handling the things
you couldn't do until now.
What is that?
I was busy cutting a tumor
In the heart of the empire.
I saw that your brother Demetrius
Is a spy working for Mehmed.
Dear Podesta...
Since even the emperor's brother turned out to be
a traitor, we cannot trust anyone in this hall.
I think you should give up.
Let's leave this
Insignificant detail aside.
Gio, what is the important
information you will give us?
The only thing I know is that we have no chance
except being defeated in front of Mehmed.
Just know this.
Mehmed took the life of
Justiniani first, then Salvador.
Especially, by k*lling the head of your guard
unit Salvador, he openly challenges you.
Only us?
Mehmed is challenging the world.
So, won't you do anything?
Mehmed has been flying over Constantinople
like an eagle for a long time.
I don't know If we can stop him.
We will definitely win this w*r.
Sometimes I start thinking.
All the way to Constantinople.
I'm thinking of Hagia Sophia.
And I suffer greatly.
I'm afraid the Cross will
be defeated by the Crescent.
The shadow of the Crescent
will fall upon Hagia Sophia.
Which problem has been solved with tears,
why do you think you can solve this by them?
The man I loved
was taken from me.
Now, the cruelty done to my husband Demetrius...
What else can I do but cry and pray?
Stand up.
-And help Demetrius who saved you.
-How?
There is only one force in this city that
can save Demetrius from the emperor.
And that is your
father, Notaras.
My father... Why would he go
against the emperor for Demetrius?
Because he owes Demetrius.
And Notaras doesn't
like owing to anyone.
Holy Christians!
Centuries ago, our city
was invaded by the Latins.
Our churches were destroyed.
Everything valuable was looted.
This church we are In
was completely destroyed.
We, Romans, managed to send
the Latins away centuries ago.
But now, Demetrius, who rebuilt
this church, is waiting for his execution!
We must shed this dirty
blood from Christianity.
For this, those who come in front of us will
be the anvil, and we will be the hammer.
But Demetrius will not be the iron that gets
crushed in between. We will not let Demetrius die.
Are you aware of
what you are doing?
I do everything for you!
You are an insane emperor!
We will not let
you k*ll Demetrius!
Demetrius is a traitor.
You k*lled everyone who
had a right to your throne.
Even your own mother!
You are a m*rder*r!
-Do you think...
...I care about the throne?
I do everything for this city!
When will you understand this?
Then release
Demetrius, Konstantinos!
Otherwise, it will not be the Turks
who k*ll us, but your Latin soldiers.
I promise a life to those
who stay by my side.
An honorable life.
But, to those who defend
a traitor like Demetrius...
...there is only
death in this city.
Emperor, stop this
madness immediately.
Jesus Christ...
For what I believe In, I
share the same fate with you.
But no matter what, I will never
give up on what I believe In.
Lord Jesus...
Help me.
My Sultan.
No one will get
In my tent. No one.
Halil Pasha, I have an
armor of failure on me.
It is even heavier
than this armour.
Don't worry, Zaganos. We cannot
prevent what's meant to happen.
Our Sultan knows very
well that you are not guilty.
Don't worry, when our Hunkar
calms down, you will talk to him.
May what is best
happen. Let's go.
Your dinner is ready, my Hunkar.
You haven't eaten anything for a while.
I'm afraid you might get sick, my Sultan.
I will not eat, Yusuf.
But my Hunkar...
I said take it away, Yusuf!
Stop.
Come closer.
Closer.
My Hunkar...
-Didn't you like it? Is it not good, Hunkar?
-Yusuf!
Call the Head Cook of
the quarters! Right now!
Did something happen, my Sultan?
Alhamdulillah.
I am just curious
about one thing.
What did Mehmed
promise you to deceive you?
Deceive me?
Deceiving Is your thing.
-Mehmed just gave me the truth.
-What truth?
He made you a low dog who
would sell his city, Demetrius.
Why did you have my son k*lled?
What about my wife?
You knew that 1
loved her so much.
You k*lled her and blamed it on Mehmed
because you knew I would do anything for her.
Just so I would
join this vile w*r.
Rome is bigger than your wife
and your son. Even bigger than me.
The death of your son
was ah accident, Demetrius.
And you forced
me to k*ll your wife.
Just like our mother.
You can't win this w*r.
Even if you win with all this
blood on your hands, you will lose.
So you trust Mehmed so much.
You are a madman who lost
his mind because of this city.
There is not a single
Roman who supports you.
Everyone who defend and
support you are the Pope's men.
Understand this, Konstantinos.
This city threw you up.
You do not belong to this city.
My death will be
Mehmed's victory.
I will be the greatest guardian
this city has ever seen!
And you Demetrius, you will be remembered
as a traitor lower than even Brutus!
Father.
Why did you come?
How did you let this happen?
Demetrius saved my life.
And no matter what,
he is my husband.
It is the Emperor's
decision, my daughter.
You are the Mega
Duke of this city.
The Emperor trusts
you. If you want...
This matter is not about me.
Besides Demetrius is a
traitor serving Mehmed.
It's not about you?
Demetrius is the
heir to the throne.
If you save him, your lineage will
be the Emperor of Rome in the future.
Besides, he is a part of our family now.
-Our family..
I can sacrifice even
our family for Rome.
I just want this city to live.
I just want this
empire to be saved.
Do you know? I sometimes
understand why my mother left, father.
Because you have no
idea about what family is.
You keep doing things
saying 'For Rome'.
But you are just...
You are just Konstantinos' dog.
O companions.
O Muslims.
Wasn't it a ship that saved Prophet
Noah and those who believed in him?
O Molla Gurani...
...tell us the story of Noah.
Tell us, so we
can learn a lesson.
O Muhammed's Ummah!
One day, Hadhrat
Noah Aleyhi Salam...
...warned his people.
Only pray to Allah...
...and do not be
deceived by your idols.
But they didn't listen to him.
They mocked with him.
They insisted. But in fact...
...torment was close.
Allah, ordered Noah
Aleyhi Salam to build a ship.
A ship at the foot
of the mountain.
A ship in the dry lands.
The people saw him and laughed.
They said, "This crazy man
IS making a ship in the desert.”
Noah Aleyhi Salam
worked with patience.
Because he...
...had submitted
to Allah's com mm and.
What is suitable for a believer is not
to focus on the afterlife or the plans...
...but to say "We
heard and we obeyed.”
Then the gates
of the sky opened.
When Prophet Ibrahim Aleyhi
Salam was thrown into the fire...
...Allah, Who said, 'O fire!
Be cool and calm for Ibrahim”...
...this time
commanded the water.
Everything outside the ship would be
engulfed by the water, burned and destroyed.
Every drop of water
fought like an Akinji.
The earth thundered.
The seas and oceans swelled.
The disbelievers searched
for a place to escape.
But it was too late.
Noah Aleyhi Salam took the believers
and a pair of every animal onto the ship.
However his son...
His son climbed a high mountain
and thought he would be saved.
Who could escape
from Allah's punishment?
A great wave hit, took
him, and swallowed him.
Allah punished the
disbelievers this way.
And finally, the rains stopped.
The waters receded.
The ship settled
on the mountain.
Noah Aleyhi Salam and
those with him were saved.
Allah saved the believers.
But the disbelievers...
...were destroyed. -EyvAllah.
May Allah be pleased
with you, Molla Gurani.
Then, effort is from us...
...and victory is from Allah.
We will be patient
towards our fate...
...and work hard so that there is a
difference between us and the disbelievers.
Remember that those on the
right path are those who are patient.
And Allah is with those who are
patient. He never leaves them.
Since now is the time to show effort,
we cannot stop. Let's go, Bismillah.
Come on. Faster. Come on.
First, they bowed to
the Pope's demands.
They even baptized Hagia Sophia.
It wasn't enough, they brought the Latins, who had
previously burned and destroyed our city as hope.
Then they cooperated with
those Latins and k*lled us.
-We should have resisted and opposed earlier.
-But with Demetrius' capture, we realized this...
Konstantinos is not on our side, he is on their side.
-What will we do?
What can we do?
They are stronger now. They
even gathered the Council of Twelve.
Neither the Pope, nor the Latins, nor their councils
are stronger than our people or our holy religion.
What do you have
In mind, Genadius?
If they try to accuse Demetrius
of various lies and punish him...
...we will stand against the Emperor.
-But...
But this could
cost us our lives.
Are you afraid of losing
your life? Understand this!
It is not Demetrius who is threatened
with death, but our Church and religion!
Moreover, a city with so much oppression may
Indeed be In need of conquest. Who knows?
Then Konstantinos
will decide this.
They will either
release Demetrius..
...or we will not just withdraw our support
In the city, we will stand against them.
If you did not like our food...
Do you cook enough for my soldiers, Head Cook?
-Yes my Sultan.
As you ordered, our pot always
boils, and we always cook meat.
I serve everyone with plenty of food,
and I do not make any distinctions.
You won't, of course.
Now, tell me. How many small
cattle do we have in the quarters?
Actually, there were
five thousand, my Sultan.
But since the siege might take
longer, we brought two thousand more.
Now, listen to me carefully.
Half of the animals will be
slaughtered immediately.
Their meat will be
distributed to our soldiers.
The fats should be separated
and stored, they will not be wasted.
The skins should be salted and preserved,
and the intestines will not be wasted.
As you order, my Hunkar.
Forgive me, my Sultan.
We can slaughter half of the animals, but the
siege Is still ongoing. If this continues...
It will not continue.
Very soon, the walls that were
thought to be impassable will be crossed,
and Rome, which was thought to
never fall, will kneel before our power.
I'm going to talk
to the Emperor.
Where is he?
Believe me, you wouldn't
want to talk to him right now.
Tell me Platon.
Should I be afraid
of Konstantinos...
...or Turks outside?
Which one is scarier?
The Turks outside have
a saying I really love.
They say, "He who gets up In
anger, sits down with a loss".
So first, get rid of your anger,
and then we will discuss what to do.
The time for talking has passed.
Tell the Emperor that if he
doesn't release Demetrius tonight...
...we, Romans, will destroy
this palace while he is In It.
Genadius.
Stop.
I have proof that Demetrius
Is a spy working for Mehmed.
Take this.
We caught him while he was
trying to send this to Mehmed.
The nonsense of an emperor
trying to protect his throne.
Your false evidence is gone now.
What will you do?
Are you going to rebel?
Do you want to tear apart the Eastern Roman
Empire like you destroyed the evidence?
-What do you really want to do?
-Which Rome?
The one whose temples
were baptized by the Pope?
Even the Turks wouldn't do this.
Constantinople.
The holy city of
our Mother Mary.
While we thought the enemies of the city
were the Muslims In front of our walls...
...we didn't realize that
our real enemy was inside.
First, the Pope's envoys came.
Then they baptized our sacred
temples with their dirty hands.
Now, they want to k*ll Demetrius
to break all support for Orthodoxy.
Will you protect the
heritage of Saint Paul?
Or will you remain silent and watch the
actions of the Orthodox-m*rder*r emperor?
Now stand up!
Stand up and take an oath.
We will fight for the
Holy Rome, for our faith.
We will fight! We will fight!
We will fight! We will fight!
And whoever stands in our
way, we deserve k*lling them!
Come on!
If Herodotus saw you, do you know how
he would describe you In the history books?
He would say "What a
shame.” "What a shame."”
"My book has never
been so stained.”
You still don't understand that you are being
used for Konstantinos' evil purposes, do you?
He is trying to remove the last
obstacle in his way to the throne.
Understand this, Platon.
Rome, in its thousands of years of political
history, has seen bloody and ruthless events.
It has seen emperors, commanders, and
senators who died as a result of intrigues.
They all had one thing In
common, serving their empire better.
But you are not
serving your empire...
...you are serving those
who want to swallow it.
You got old Platon.
I think that's why
you can't think clearly.
When the truth comes out, I will
forgive you only for this reason.
Everything is as
clear as the sun.
You cannot deny it.
So why are you here?
I want you to...
...Serve your
empire one last time.
Tell our people that the emperor ex*cuted
you for your treason with your last breath.
Tell them so that you won't be mentioned
In our history books as a disgrace.
What a shame.
Do you think Demetrius
did all this for the throne?
Only God and Jesus
know what he did it for.
What I know is, If he dies...
-Not even Jesus can save him now.
We, as the mind and heart of this
city, must now make plans for the future.
It is Impossible
to buy Genadius.
Moreover, he is right
about his concerns.
As you know, the
winners are always right.
And we will win.
If Demetrius dies, the spirit
of our churches will also die.
After losing our temples,
what is the meaning of winning?
What is it Notaras?
Are you afraid of a
handful of priests?
Demetrius will be k*lled
In front of everyone tonight.
Whoever opposes
this will also die.
But Your Excellency... -No buts!
If I don't k*ll Mehmed's spy
because he is my brother...
...If I bow to the churches...
...Mehmed will have won.
And I don't want that, Platon.
My Hunkar...
...we slaughter animals for the
Janissaries every day anyway.
Some is used for food, some for
supplies, some is kept and preserved.
So why are we doing
this, my Hunkar?
Are you now meddling with the food that will
pass through my soldiers' throats, Lala?
No, I would never, my Hunkar.
I didn't mean that.
What I meant was...
...Since the siege is not over yet,
I thought we should use our supplies wisely.
Halil Pasha is right, my Sultan.
The galleys' transportation
seems to be delayed.
The siege will last even longer.
The transportation of the
galleys will not be delayed.
All the fat we have
Is spoiled, my Sultan.
Also, drying the swamp
will take time, my Sultan.
Are we going to slaughter all these
animals for nothing, Bahadir Pasha?
We will separate the fat of the animals and
use it in the construction of the galleys.
Of course, the skins
will not be wasted.
As you know, leather absorbs
water and does not sink easily.
You are right, my Hunkar.
We will cover the swampy areas with the skins and
pour the fat we obtained from the animals over them.
-Thus, we will easily pull the galleys.
-Right.
Leather workers will work to empty
the intestines and turn them into ropes.
This way, the siege will not be extended and the
galleys will be transported, my Hunkar. -Right.
My Hunkar...
...maybe today Constantinople,
tomorrow the Western Roman Empire.
But I am sure that
before your wisdom...
...the whole world will bow
down before your command.
EvelAllah.
No one will move until
the Emperor comes!
Coward!
Emperor, do not
take them seriously.
I am Emperor Konstantinos.
Whoever betrays my city and empire
will meet the same end as my brother.
Since you don't believe me, hear
the betrayal from Demetrius himself!
Do one last favor for
your empire, Demetrius!
Hey, brave valiant Saltuk! Hey!
What are you trying
to say to my bravery?
You are messing with me again.
Famous Porter Saltuk Bey.
Look, Siyirmis.
I'm not a porter, I'm an Akinji.
Be careful, alright? Be careful.
-Don't make me angry.
-Then I'll ask you a question.
Ask me.
Where are the Akinjis?
-At the w*r.
Where is Bali Bey?
-At the Jihad. -Where are you?
I'm helping you.
-You're working here like a porter.
-A porter?
Isn't this Jihad the same Jihad?
Brother, of course,
this is Jihad...
But going to the battle with
swords suits to a valiant like Hasan.
You can only work
like a porter here.
Look, I just thought about lit,
when was the last time I beat you?
Can you think?
I'll squeeze your throat.
Maybe my Bali Bey thought, "You're not
leaving us any man to k*ll, stay here and
we'll k*ll some people too'" and left me here.
Let go! Let go!
If there's anyone who has betrayed this city,
It is none other than Emperor Konstantinos.
True. -He is right.
The emperor who k*lled my brother
with my mother's help to dethrone him...
...cut off my hand, and finally k*lled his own
mother, is the greatest traitor in this city.
I won't listen to this
nonsense anymore, Platon.
Get ready.
Whoever betrays my
city and empire will meet...
...the same fate as Demetrius.
Let him go!
No!
You cannot do this!
You need to leave, sir.
Emperor.
Won't you stop them?
Everyone lives the way
they deserve, Platon.
First, pour some soil, then
put the skins on top of it.
As you order, my Sultan.
Come on.
Get out, you too.
Hurry up, clean this place.
Sir.
Calm down.
It's me, Notaras.
Come on, tell me imperial
fairy tales and leave.
I don't know what
they've told you so far.
But what I'm going to say
will be very simple and clear.
Anna begged me
to spare your life.
That's why I will
save you from here.
How?
How it will happen is
not important for now.
You will promise me.
You will leave this city with my daughter
and not return until the w*r is over.
Why are you doing this?
Mega Duke Notaras
never owes someone.
How will you save me then?
Now listen to me carefully. I will fix
the rope on your neck to two hooks.
Don't be afraid. Your
neck won't break.
But you need to act well.
Death is walking
around the city.
Be quick and don't
let anyone see you.
Anna, where is she?
She is waiting In the
tunnel you will exit.
How did Mehmed convince
you to betray the empire?
It wasn't Mehmed, it was the dirt
of this city that pushed me to do this.
Don't you see what's
happening in this city, Notaras?
There are cannon sounds, ruins, and
the screams of people k*lling each other.
Do we deserve this city?
Mehmed just showed me this.
You must come with me, Notaras.
I won't leave this city.
Alright.
I won't forget this
favor, Notaras.
Hadhrat Suleyman wrote
Allah's Name above all things.
Now...
It is time to place our Holy Quran on top of
the pike, the highest point of our banner.
Without the permission of our Allah,
no wind blows and no wave rises.
O my powerful Pashas!
O my brave Beys!
My brave Janissaries!
Know this...
This state, this nation, will follow in the
footsteps of the Rasulullah [PBUH] step by step...
...under the shadow
of the Islam banners.
We declare it...
...by raising our sacred book
high on the top of the sail.
We just want His consent.
With every step, we
walk with His permission.
Turks are the ones who fight on Earth to be granted with
Allah's consent, and those who give their lives for it!
O those who are ready
to sacrifice themselves!
O mujahideens!
Let your swords pierce the sky!
In the name of Allah!
