02x28 - Episode 28

[bunniefuu]

Since your head is held high
and your tongue is silent...

...then...

...that head will be taken...

...that tongue will be cut.

It is time to pay for
your actions, Candarli.

If my head is held high...

...it is because of the grand
vizier's position you blessed me with.

If my tongue is silent...

...it is because there are no more words left
to say against the accusation of betrayal.

Cut it short Halil.

Did you kiss Orhan's hand when
he reached it out to you, or not?

I don't want much from you.

Kiss my hand, pledge
allegiance, and stay alive.

Orhan, did you really think I'm the kind of
man who kisses a hand when he's falling?

Even if you cut off my head and put it on
a spear, I still wouldn't kiss your hand.

When Mehmed...

...cuts your head off, I hope you
won't regret being late inshaallah.

Inshaallah.

The only thing I'll regret being late for is not
being able to put the bowstring on your neck.

I have never done anything
to disgrace your name.

I never would.

Everything I have done until
today, I did for your benefit.

Is what he said true?

What he said is true, sir.

He didn't bow to
Konstantinos, nor to Orhan.

But...

...how do we know this
Notaras infidel is not lying?

Ishak Pasha is asking you
a question. Didn't you hear?

Forgive me, my Sultan.

We have nothing
left but this dry bread.

Eyvallah.

If you wish, I can
go outside and...

Stop.

Sit.

Alhamdulillah.

You stabbed Evrenesoglu
in the back before.

Ali Bey can find you
just by your smell.

And when you're caught...

...you'll pray to die, but your
prayer won't be accepted.

But how long can we stay
here hungry and thirsty?

Let Notaras...

...convince Mehmed first.

The rest is easy.

What if he can't convince him?

If I had wanted..

...i could've kept my private
meeting with Candarli...

...a secret.

Or I could've hidden
that I took him to Orhan.

But...

...] Want you to know that I
stayed loyal to the promise I made.

And I repeat...

Candarh told the
truth in your presence.

What would Konstantinos
do if he were in my place?

His biggest enemy
was doubt, sir.

If he had doubted
Notaras or Halil Pasha...

...even one of them..

...he would have
had them k*lled.

And this is the biggest
difference between us and you.

You know how to k*ll.

But we know...

...how to give a chance.

Don't ever lie to
me again, Halil.

Pasha.

Even if it's for my own benefit.

As our glorious Hunkar orders.

The council is over.

Ishak Pasha.

You stay.

We have things to talk about.

...

The silhouette of Jesus
Christ is behind you.

While the document
you are preparing..

...for the Sultan of Muslims in front of you.
-Tell me, Gennadius.

Can't you see the
mistake you're doing?

What do you expect me to do?

We have no other choice but
to submit to Sultan Mehmed.

Can't you see, Gennadius?

Constantinople is
becoming no longer ours.

And this won't change if we
keep submitting to Muslims.

Our church answers
to Mehmed now.

Not to mention what
happened to Hagia Sophia even.

We have to accept this truth.

We need to leave this city.

Never!

This city belonged to
orthodox for a thousand years.

Even the occupation of
Latins did not change that.

Certainly Muslims
won't change it too.

I will speak to Sultan
Mehmed myself if heeded.

And I will tell him
all of our concerns.

Let us just stay here.

At our home.

Our home is wherever
we are, Gennadius.

However, not this place.

Me and the Christians who
follow me will leave this city.

Pity.

So much pity.

Where is Maria?

While there is so
much chaos going on?

Find her.

We did the necessary calls
for the Muslims living in the city.

That's good, son.

What about those who
would like to join Islam?

Father.

Fatma?

My Fatma.

Father

My dear daughter.

So you've come.

I came, father.

It's over.

I'm here now.

Thank our rab, you're well.

You are with us again.

You are like us again.

My brave girl.

You did the duty..

...where many
valiants would fall..

...and many woman
would be afraid of.

You are to Islam..

...and the cause is in
love to you, my Fatma.

My father.

Whatever I did..

...is all because of
what you taught me..

...and the prayers of
you and your valiants.

I've learned that love..

...and the mission..

...from you.

Alhamdulillah.

Ishak Pasha.

My Sultan?

Come closer.

Now, Pasha. Hear me well.

Whoever swung their sword..

...in the name of Hakk..

...will have their land expanded.

Whoever stood back..

...shall lose their land.

You will see to it.

As you command, my Sultan.

Also..

...if you allow me..

I will go to Bursa..

...to do Beylerbeyi duty.

Stay a little longer.

The council will be gathered.

New duties will be given.

Just in case.

You stay.

As you command, my Sultan.

Take this.

It is my seal.

To the east and the west..

...south and north..

...to Mediterranean,
black, yellow and red seas..

...send news of conquest..

...with this seal at once.

As you command, my Sultan.

Our Tatar cavalries are ready.

I will send them at once.

Alright.

Good.

Come.

What a beautiful city,
right, Zaganos Pasha?

Mashaallah.

It really is.

It is a beautiful city.

All those wars and trouble.

It really was worth it.

May Allah reward..

...our martyrs, inshaallah.

Aameen.

However, if it was to Candarli..

...we wouldn't even see this city
in our dreams, Zagonos Pasha.

Don't say that.

He fought at the
field, just like us.

He even became a veteran.

You don't know what
happened, Zaganos Pasha.

What happened?

While we were fighting..

...and having
martyrs at the field..

...Candarli went to our Hunkar..

...and told him to fall back.

What are you saying?

Seeing a state man..

...like Halil Pasha,
saying this..

...is unheard of, Zaganos Pasha.

He knows that we would..

...have more martyrs..

...if we were to turn back.

And the infidels would come
to our doors at the capital.

I do not wish to raise
suspicion, however..

...is he cooperating with
Byzantine, you think?

He might be.

You raised my suspicion.

You saw how Notaras..

...defended Candarli.

What do you think?

Are they cooperating?

I do not know.

They're both wolves.

I do not know what kind of..

...plan they set, however..

...we will find out.

What do you say, Zaganos?

Should we go to our
Hunkar and tell him all that?

We cannot do that.

Why not?

We've just ended the w*r.

If we have an audience
with Sultan about this..

...he would think we lost
ourselves to our nafs.

Let us wait.

We would observe
in the meantime.

Stand up, Gennadius.

You are representing a religion
which innocent people believe in.

You can say whatever
you want on your feet.

First of all, I am aware
of the effort you showed..

...to not harm civilians
during the conquest.

That is why, I would like to..

...show our gratitude.

Neither me nor my ancestors..

...have removed the
freedom, livelihoods..

...prayers..

...and lives..

...of non-Muslims
in our conquests.

I accept the orthodox and
other non-Muslim people..

...as my people in my city.

However..

...there will be some terms..

...as there was before.

Orthodox are ready to stay
in the borders you've set.

Hadhrat Sultan.

Then, do not worry about
your life or your livelihoods.

As long as you submit to
my justice without question..

...you will be the most
prosperous and the safest..

.Non-Muslims..

...in the world.

Anything else?

Also, some clergy priests..

...who think orthodox
have no protective shield..

...wants to leave the
city with your permission.

If they want to
leave this city..

...who will write history
with the power of Turks..

...then so be it.

-Thank you for..
-However, I will only allow this once..

...for a umber..

...of people.

I will have a ship prepared..

...to Mora, to my
friend Demetrius.

Tell me the names of
those who will depart.

They will go with that ship.

However you see
fit, Hadhrat Sultan.

You always wanted
this, Gennadius.

You got what you want.

Now, it is my turn.

What can I do for you?

What do you want from us?

Hear ye!

People!

We have good news!

People!

Hear ye!

What happened?

Good news, people of Edirne?!

Our Sultan, our Hunkar,
Sultan Mehmed Han..

...shall now be known as, Fatih
[Conqueror] Sultan Mehmed Han!

-Thank Allah!
-That is wonderful!

For the conquest, today..

...five hundred lambs
will be butchered!

All people are
invited for the feast!

Now, tell me.

Can you make me a Patrick?

I would've loved to.

However, as you know lit..

...the orthodox of Constantinople
did not have a real Patrick..

...for a long time.

However, Latins have a Pope.

Isn't that right?

Greeks have been separated
as the state grew weak.

Now, everyone
tells a different thing.

Since you love the orthodox..

...and your duty this much..

Would you like to..

Unite them under one roof..

...and revive the patriarchate..

...at Constantinople..

...to lead it?

I wouldn't see such a dream
without your permission.

I can't even guess what would..

...confessing such a thing to
you might mean, Hadhrat Sultan.

As you know..

...reviving the patriarchate..

...and erasing orthodoxy
from this city lies in my hands.

However, that is
not my intention.

I won't touch your beliefs.

I allow your clergy.

I do not meddle with..

...your tradition
and your families.

I want one of my people
to represent such a thing.

My wish is to have you
continue your duties..

...as a Patrick, the
leader of orthodox.

Not only in
Constantinople, however.

I wish you to continue as the
leader of all the orthodox in the world.

Emperor Konstantin was not
brave enough to do such a thing.

He was scared of us.

He wanted to suppress us.

Those who do not
trust their power..

...will be scared of everything.

Gennadius.

Every soul..

...that are suppressed, are
bound to explode one day.

Hearts find peace at a
place where justice rules.

That is why..

...we will be your protectors.

We will not force
you to join our religion.

What I expect you to do..

...is to not allow mischief..

...both in and outside
of your people.

Write my words.

Allah Allah. Where is the declaration
of conquest that will go to Karaman?

Here, my Pasha.
You've just sealed it.

Alright, alright.

The way our Sultan speaks is so
beautiful that it took my mind away.

It can make a
person lose his mind.

Look.

Listen carefully.

This is the one going to
the land of the Mamluks.

We, who received
the help of Allah...

...are the Sultan of veterans and
mujahids, the sanjak carriers of religion.

Mashaallah.

Mashaallah my Pasha.

While we achieved this conquest
in one of the biggest cities on earth...

...we served the
true religion of Islam.

Now Rome is the land of Islam.

We wanted to share...

...this news of conquest with our friends
and brothers with Allah's permission.

Celebrate this great
victory and pray.

And know that this conquest is an honor
for Islam and a defeat for the infidels.

-Thanks to Allah.
-Thanks to Allah, my Pasha.

Did our Sultan temporarily
give his seal to you, my Pasha?

Ishak...

Ibrahim asked you a question.
Why don't you answer him?

We didn't know you
were here. Forgive us.

There is much to forgive, but...

I don't understand, my Pasha.

Mehmed bin Murad
Khan El Muzaffer Daima.

It means Mehmed Khan, son of
Murad Khan, will always be victorious.

Sure, my Pasha.

Just because they
entrusted you a seal...

...don't think you are
an important man, Ishak.

Victory belongs to the Sultan.
Don't bring shame upon yourself.

What is missing from this seal
is this... always remember this.

If the Osmanogullari
are always victorious...

...it is because the Candarogullari
are always by their side.

You should choose
your words wisely Pasha.

All mujahids know
where you stand.

Isn't that right?

Where am I standing?

You tell us where you are...

...and whose skirt
you hide behind.

While the army of Islam was fighting with
swords in the streets of Constantinople...

...we all know well that you stood against
the mujahids, not beside the Sultan.

Look at me, Ishak.

You look at me.

Thanks to your father...

...and grandfather's honor...

...no one has ever
touched you, right?

But until now, you never
believed our Sultan's dreams.

You said this city
would not fall...

But it did.

You said the walls could not be
passed. But now we are here, Halil.

Pasha.

Do you realize who
you're talking to like this?

I know very well.

A man who always stands
against our Sultan's...

...goal of conquest.

But...

...i also say, do what
you should with honor.

If not, we already
know what will happen.

You'll only hurt yourself.

Halil.

Pasha.

You suggested Mehmed...

...k*ll me and Halil, so
everyone he suspects.

That was a big risk.

But our gain was big, too.

Mehmed still doesn't trust us.

If you had given him Candarli,
we wouldn't have this problem.

Candarli is someone we can make
an agreement with, and he is cornered.

No one else can help us but him.

You are wrong, Notaras.

Then what?

Candarli is an experienced
politician, yes, but...

...his reputation is not
as strong as before.

For him to be useful to
us, we need more than this.

You know Candarli
well, but not Mehmed.

Mehmed will soon k*ll his grand vizier
who let him down during the final attack.

On this path that leads to his
death, we don't have to do much.

Yo I

...the others who want to
become the grand vizier...

...will take him to the edge
of the cliff instead of us and...

...push him, right?

And I will be the last branch Candarli will
try to hold on to as he falls from the cliff.

Or at least Candarli
will think that.

Attention!

Sultan Mehmed
Khan the conqueror!

...

Tell me Hizir Celebi..

What works were done?

What was completed?

The direction of the qibla has
been determined, my Sultan.

The carpets are being woven to
show the direction of the Kaaba.

A mihrab will be built on the qibla
side, and a minbar on the right side.

For now, our head carpenters will
prepare this minbar for tomorrow's prayer.

We did not make a decision
about the Hunkar Mahfili...

...because we thought you
would want to choose it yourself.

But this place is suitable.

However, there is another matter
we would like to ask for your opinion.

What is it?

My Sultan, the
paintings on the walls...

What is your order for them?
We couldn't decide.

Should we scrape them off
completely and remove them...

...or should we cover
them with a cloth...

...or plaster?

Why don't we do what my
ancestor Orhan ghazi did...

...in the Hagia Sophia of
Iznik, in Constantinople here?

What keeps you from
following the usual way?

You know.

What al-Quds means to us...

...to the orthodox...

...Hagia Sophia means the same.

If one day it needs to be
opened for knowledge...

...it must be covered properly.

So?

What is your opinion?

What is your advice?

The matter is sensitive.

What I say may not
be enough, my Efendi...

That's why it would be more suitable
for the ulamas and scholars to gather...

...and make a
decision, my Sultan.

Let them gather
then. But be quick.

I will perform
Friday prayer here.

And...

Akshamseddin Efendi...

Where is he?

You know...

Ibrahim bin Ethem Hadhrat
was the son of a Bey in Khorasan.

He turned away from worldly
wealth and turned toward divine love.

One day, his sheikh
sent a dervish to him.

And he said "Ibrahim bin
Ethem is in a mosque...

Go there and slap
him on the neck.

Then come and tell
me what he says."

The dervish did as told.

He went to the mosque.

He slapped Ibrahim on the neck.

Ibrahim bin Ethem turned
around and looked at him angrily.

But he did not slap him back.

He just said...

"If I were still in my
old days of sultanate...

...you would see
what would happen.”

The dervish returned..

...and told his sheikh
what happened.

The sheikh said, "it is
good he didn't fight back...

But he still misses
the days of sultanate.

Such a pity.

If a servant seeks to
be a Sultan in the world...

...he cannot be a Sultan
in the world of meaning.”

My children...

Those who warm themselves
with the fire of palaces...

...who are enlightened
with their light...

...and who are used to join
the gatherings of sultans...

...cannot easily be sultans
in the world of meaning.

That's why...

...as soon as possible...

...we will set out with
iron shoes and iron stick.

Dervishes need
to walk on a path.

They need strength.

My sheikh, isn't there also a need for
the knowledge and words of the Sultan...

...of world of meanings
in the palaces?

We know that our Sultan values
your words. Isn't that a blessing?

It is a blessing, but...

...if a blessing is repeated
too often, it becomes a test.

What I fear is that...

...if we stay here any longer, a
shadow will be cast over the "kut".

They will say the Bayram is and
Semsis are trying to infiltrate the state.

We do not want that. Never.

We do not, my sheikh, it's true.

We came not to seek
help, but to serve.

May Allah be pleased
with our Sultan.

Aameen.

We are setting out tonight.

Goynuk is waiting for us.

Isn't this area too big
to build a madrasa?

Our Sultan is not having
this built as just any madrasa.

He is having it built as the heart
of Ottoman higher knowledge.

What do you mean?

These madrasas will accept
students from all over the world.

Not only students.

Mollas will also be scholars
well-known for their knowledge.

Excellent.

Sultan Mehmed is getting
ready for a big move.

What about the teachers? Will
they also come from other states?

Of course.

Whoever comes with knowledge from Persia,
maghreb, Samarkand, or Greek lands...

...will surely have a place here
with the permission of our Sultan.

Excellent.

Didn't our Sultan also keep
you here for this reason?

I am grateful.

Master, the described direction
passes through the root of this tree.

There must be a mistake. We
cannot lay a foundation here.

How could there be a mistake?

If the direction passes
through here, it must be correct.

It means the road
must pass through here.

No, no, if I know Molla Gurani,
there must be a mistake. Let's ask him.

What will you ask me?

Molla Efendi..

If there is no mistake about the
direction of the road for the madrasa...

...we need to cut
this beautiful tree.

Who drew this? Who planned this?

Is the master telling the truth?

I drew it, my Hodja.
He is telling the truth.

If the road doesn't pass here, it won't
match with the one on the other side.

They won't look alike.

If they don't, then what?
Won't it be beautiful?

Yes my Efendi..

We are trying to make it
look like a beautiful road.

Is this tree beautiful?

It is beautiful.

Is one half of the tree the same as
the other half? Are the branches equal?

No, they are not.

Sure they are not.

Beauty is not only about balance,
being equal, or looking the same.

Saruca Efendi, you have
knowledge of geometry.

But you have no
knowledge of life. None.

Can there be a kind of knowledge
that kills something living arbitrarily?

Move the line. The roads
don't have to be equal.

Make sure the students will be
able to come to school, that is enough.

Alright, my Efendi..

Also, place a few
logs under the tree.

The students can
rest in its shadow.

Understood, Molla Efendi..

May Allah bless you my Hodja.

We've spared the people.

We did not destroy the city.

However..

...everywhere looks ruined.

Many houses are empty.

Tell me, Hizir
Celebi. Why is that?

Most people left the city..

...before we conquered
the city, my Hunkar.

There are many empty
houses left in the city, my Sultan.

Why is that?

Those who had the
means, the rich people..

...has left Constantinople after it
lost it's former glory, my Sultan.

The rest of the poor people..

...have sold everything
while they could.

My Hunkar.

The city is dying.

We conquered this city with
many hardships, Hizir Celebi.

If it is dying..

.Then we will revive it.

The skill lies within reviving.

You're right, my
Hunkar. However..

...how will we do that?

...

He's telling him to catch him.

The other says 'run, run!'.

Just like that, Hizir Celebi.

The children of Turks
will run in these streets.

They will scream 'run, run?

Adhan will be heard.

Elderly, children, everyone will
go to the mosque from their houses.

The smell of lokma from
houses will roam these streets.

Then, both of
us will know that..

...this city will be happy.

This city lives.

What is your command, my Hunkar?

Send word to the Qadi of Bursa.

It is my command to the people.

Let them come and settle here.

Let us make this place Istanbul.

My Hunkar.

Turks are fond of..

...vales and hills.

Won't they have
a hard time here?

Hear me well, Hizir Celebi.

Unless there will be a
neighbourhood here..

...no matter how
many sanctuaries..

...schools we make..

...this city will
not be complete.

Buildings, palaces
are the soul of a city.

However, the heart lies
in the neighborhoods.

You're right, my Hunkar.

I will send your word to
the Qadi of Bursa at once.

Do not worry.

I spoke with Sultan Mehmed.

I told him all of our concerns.

Sultan Mehmed told us that..

...we can live our
religion, as it was before.

What about those who
want to leave the city?

No matter what Mehmed
promise us, we want to leave.

Sultan Mehmed said that he
will allow it, for one time only.

However, I believe that..

...no one should leave the city.

Why is that?

Because Sultan Mehmed gave us..

...what emperors could not.

A real patriarchy.

The new orthodox patriarchate
that will be built in Constantinople..

...will be the spiritual center
of the world of orthodoxy.

Can that really happen?

Then, you will be the Patrick.

That is a great blessing.

I do not think so.

Mehmet..

...is only giving you a taste.

Even if you become a Patrick..

...do you think sl*ve
will listen to you?

What about Georgians?

Russians?

I do not think so.

No one would listen to a patriarchate
whose strands are controlled by Mehmed.

Then..

...why did Mehmed
do such a thing?

Why?

Mehmed, who has conquered Constantinople
has became a real conqueror..

...in the eyes of
Turks and Muslims.

The respect he receives
will only grow more.

Along with his power.

However, he will want more.

He will want a more
magnificent empire.

And what is the greatest obstacle
he has that is preventing him?

What is it?

A Christian unity.

Mehmed is not only
a magnificent general.

He is also a very smart
King. Beyond of our era.

He is giving the
orthodox patriarchy..

...so that Christians
won't unite.

And Gennadius, who has been telling
that he was fighting for orthodoxy..

...is falling for this trap.

These are pretentious words..

.From someone who let
Catholics crush our sanctuaries.

You are not aware of
what is happening, are you?

This was the tactic of
the great Roman empire.

Divide and conquer.

Mehmed has divided us..

...by taking our city.

Now, he is talking
about patriarchate.

Now I see that, he
has conquered already.

You know the rest of the story
now, are you not, Gennadius?

The Sultan, whom you
bent your knee for..

...will conquer all of us.

I know what you and
Notaras want to do.

We will see if Mehmed..

...will swallow me..

...or you. We will see.

Mother.

My shahzade.

Have you heard?

Our father has invited
us to Constantinople.

No, my shahzade.
I haven't heard.

Where did that come from?

He heard from me.

The messengers sent word.

Our Sultan is inviting us..

...to Constantinople.

Bayezid wanted to tell..

...after hearing from me.

Yes, mother.

I wanted you to
hear from me first.

My Valiant shahzade.

Mother, will we see past
those walls you've talked about?

Yes, my shahzade.

Since your father has..

...conquered those
impassable walls..

...you can now see the inside
and outside of those walls.

Yes, I already have a key.

My father sent me.

I can get in,
even if it is locked.

Come on then, my shahzade.

Since you are curious about..

...what lies beyond those walls..

...let us start the
preparations for the road.

Alright?

Make way!

Sultan-Ul Guzat,
Padishah-u Alem Abu'l-Feth..

...Hadhrat Fatih
Sultan Mehmed Han!

In the name of Allah who is
ar-Rahman and ar-Raheem..

...i am opening
the first council..

...in the Constantinople,
which was conquered by us.

Undoubtedly, the only one
truly worthy of love is Allah.

Aameen.

Aameen.

Ishak Pasha.

Come to my right.

Those who stayed with us during
trouble may stay with us during victory.

It is the tradition of
the state of Ottoman.

My pashas, my advisors..

...my state men.

Thank Allah, we have
realized our dream.

Constantinople is and
forever will be a land of Turks.

Everyone is aware of the
troubles state of Ottoman endured..

...the obstacles it has crossed
and the victories it has gained.

We have established a beylik..

...that struck the infidels from the heart
with my ancestor Kara Osman ghazi.

We have become a ruling state
with my ancestor Murad Han.

Now, we are the owners of the thousand
year capital of Rome, the Constantinople.

Now, we will become
the Ottoman empire..

...with Constantinople
as the capital.

However, Constantinople is far
from the city that was in our dreams.

Tired and neglected.

Drowned in the darkness
of infidels and withered..

..Like a flower.

Now..

...what is expected of us..

...is to rebuild this city.

As you may understand,
a difficult duty awaits us.

However, the
fruits of this effort..

...will be plenty, inshaallah.

Inshaallah.

However, as you know,
difficult efforts require changes.

The troubles we've
went through..

...has strained us all.

That is why, I wish to..

...make changes in the state..

...including..

...this council.

What's the situation, Notaras?

Any news?

Of course.

Good news, even.

Candarh?

Candarli is done.

He will help us, help you.

Good.

He is finding the
right way finally.

Still..

Can we trust Candarh?

Zaganos Pasha.

The people of Rome
are now our responsibility.

You take care of their troubles.

As our Sultan command.

Sehabettin Pasha.

My Hunkar?

You will take care of
the rebuilding of this city.

The building of
fountains, roads..

...and the preservation of
them are in your responsibility.

As our Hunkar command.

Hizir Celebi..

...you will be the
sehremini of this place.

Paint this city..

...with the light of Islam.

I wish from you..

...to build mosques..

...on the ruined
temples and churches.

However, don't
just build mosques.

Build schools
around it for research..

...healing places
for the people..

...guest houses for guests..

...imarets for the poor..

...libraries for scholars..

...and for the most
important value..

...for the clean
religion of Islam..

...hamams.

The Fetih mosque
you will build..

...Fatih mosque..

...may shine with
the glory of Islam.

Of course, Hagia Sophia will
remain as a mosque for the sign..

...of our conquest.

However..

...the first signature
Muslims have in this city..

...will be Fatih mosque.

As our Sultan commands.

Everyone will do their
duties temporarily for now.

I will think for a while..

..And assign new pashas..

...and new duties.

I will announce
these duties tomorrow.

Including the position..

...of great importance.

Meaning..

...including the
position of grand vizier..

...all positions..

...remain empty..

...for now.

Since we can
not trust Candarl...

...what will we do then?

We will trust you.

To your skilled archery.

Let's say Mehmed has died.

What will happen then?

They won't get me
on the throne at once.

Yes.

First, grand vizier Candarli..

...will temporarily
sit on the throne.

Then, he will draw the
soldiers, the people..

...and the state men..

...on his side..

...and put you on the throne.

And you..

...will allow us to
live freely, right?

Of course.

Deal.

Deal.

Do not forget.

You only have
one chance at this.

If you miss, you die.

Let the preparations start for
Constantinople, Reyhan Agha.

I want everything
to be complete.

Do not worry, my Sultan.

I will have them all prepared.

However, I can add anything
if something's on your mind.

Whatever we have here,
we will have the same there.

The city has just
been conquered.

If our Sultan has called
there, it is to end the longing..

...and to assist with
the preparations.

That is why, we may
need to be ready at once.

Tailors, cooks, hairdressers..

...and all the others..

...who work for harem..

...shall come with us.

They do work, won't
they, Gulsah Hatun?

Mara Hatun is right.

Alright.

Then, let the
preparations begin.

Everyone to their duties.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah.

May Allah accept your
prayers, my Pasha.

May you prosper, Atmaca.

Clean the table.

I've lost my appetite.

I've had circassian
chicken prepared, Pasha.

Just as you liked.

We would've eaten it
before revenge in the past.

Now, who shall we get mad
at to have revenge, Atmaca?

Tell me.

You know our Sultan, my Pasha.

He is angry at you today. However,
he will forget about it tomorrow.

Besides, it is hot seen before to see the position
of grand vizier being taken from Candarli by force?

Nothing will be the same now.

The state's tolerance will change in
accordance with an empire's tolerance.

Many heads will fall.
Much blood will be spilled.

It is the same for us too.

Whatever befalls on us.

The state change.

Pashas change.

However, as far as I know, Halil
Pasha is the unchanged state man.

Besides, Halil Pasha never
turns down from a fight.

He won't be defeated
without a fight.

What are you saying, Atmaca?

Who will we fight with?

With the grand Fatih
Sultan Mehmed Han?

It is in the past.

What if we search
for allies, Pasha?

Zaganos, Ishak, Bahadir Pasha.

Look at the names
you're counting.

They are all on
the road of Hakk.

They are waiting
for my body to swing.

Nothing can come out of them.

I do not understand..

...politics my Pasha.

Only thing I know is that..

...Halil Pasha does not give up.

He will not go down without
a fight whether it is Sultan..

...or the..

...Hadhrat Azrael himself.

The order of our Sultan...

...and his decree
is clear, beys.

You are commanded to settle in
Constantinople to help rebuild it.

Don't do this, Qadi Efendi..
We cannot live there.

If we leave our homes and lands,
what are we going to do there?

Is what you say fair
and right, Qadi Efendi?

Firstly, it is right.

According to Islamic law...

...if the Sultan's order is for the benefit
of the people, then obedience is a must.

And Allah commands in the


"O believers! Obey Allah...

...and obey the messenger and
those in authority among you".

We have so many
animals and properties.

Besides, we are used to the
mountains, highlands, and plateaus.

Constantinople is a
city surrounded by walls.

How can we live in such a place?

I understand. But...

...the matter is important.

So much blood was shed, so
many martyrs were sacrificed.

Even in the time of
Rashidun caliphate...

...Muslims were settled
in conquered lands.

Why?

So that Islam
could spread there.

So that it could rule there
and touch people's hearts.

Besides...

Isn't this the goal of both
the state and the Muslims?

Our ancestors graves and our
relatives are all here, Qadi Efendi...

Is it easy to leave and
settle in the infidels' land?

Besides, maybe we won't even live
long enough to see that city prosper.

When our prophet Efendi...

...peace be upon him...

...migrated from
mecca to Medina...

...he and his Sahabas
left their homeland.

But they turned Yathrib...

...into Medina.

They established
a hew order there.

You can also...

...build a new life in
Constantinople, make it Islambol...

...and turn it into a prosperous
place for the Muslims.

You say words full of
hikmah, Qadi Efendi, but...

...we do not want to leave
all our work and efforts behind.

If the Sultan and viziers force us
to move, then that's their decision.

But as I said, we do
not want to do that.

Then what can I say?

In Islam, there
is no compulsion.

Free will is essential.

But...

...we must also consider
the affairs of the state.

So I suggest you reconsider it.

Stop.

You cannot enter.

Do you know who I am?

We do. You are
Mehmed, son of Murad.

We know very well.

Then why won't you let me in?

Who is inside?

Ayyub al-Ansari [R.A.] Is in there.

But he does not
want you to enter.

I will give up my
crown and throne.

Just... just let me see the friend
of Muhammad Mustafa [PBUH].

Let me kneel before him.

Wait here.

If you are called, you
can enter, inshaallah.

Doctor, how is his condition?

Not good.

We are doing our best, but you
know the weather conditions..

The cold of Constantinople made
Abu Ayyub very weak and he fell ill.

Abu Ayyub....

Are you alright?

It is time...

My only wish from Allah...

...is to be the wonderful commander
our Prophet [PBUH] spoke of....

...is to be the wonderful commander
our Prophet [PBUH] spoke of....

...and to be buried in
front of the city walls.

My brothers...

...bury me in front of the walls of Constantinople.

Let my grave become the
entrance gate for the Muslims...

.....who will one day
conquer this city.

Our Prophet [PBUH] entrusted
the Muslims to one another.

Do not fear the power of the infidels.

Do not be tricked by
the beauty of this world.

If you don't want to be
weak and disreputable...

...fight and work for
jihad in the way of Allah!

Allah blessed me
with the honor of....

.... having the Prophet
[PBUH] as a guest in my home.

Now, InshaAllah...

....I am going to be his guest.

Ayyub Sultan is not well.

He just wants...

...to be buried here.

If we Bury him here, no one
will know where his grave is.

No one from the ummah can come
and recite a 'fatiha' at his grave.

Surely one day, a lion of Allah
will come and conquer this city.

Allah will surely let that conqueror
find the tomb of Ayyub Sultan.

...

Look.

Allah Allah.

Aren't they the murids
of Akshamseddin Efendi?

At this hour of the night...
May it be good inshaallah.

Astaghfirullah. Astaghfirullah.

My sheikh...

Don't leave without
praying for us.

You made a big effort for
the conquest of this city.

My pardon is halal to
you my Valiant. As you did.

You also give us
your pardon, huh?

It's yours, my sheikh.

Eyvallah.

My sheikh.

Where are you going like this
at night without telling anyone?

Will you go and leave
the city without scholars?

The time has come, Dogan
Agha. Our duty here is now over.

One duty ends, another begins.

Now we must go to Goynuk
and take care of our work there.

My sheikh, you know...

Many Janissaries and
companions became martyrs.

Our hearts burned.

You are an ointment
to burning hearts...

...a cure to those who
have lost their beloved ones.

How can we heal our
hearts without you?

Stay a little longer.

No Dogan Agha.

When it is time for a dervish
to go, it is not right to stay.

As long as valiants like you
protect the towers of this city..

...Allah will send many waits...

...and Awliyahs to this city.

Look here.

Look.

Your companions.

Your brothers.

They are here..

...to have your pardon in Qiamah.

Come on.

Give them your pardon.

Give me your pardon in Qiamah.

Give me your pardon in Qiamah.

Sheikh effendi, let
us kiss your hand..

...with this mad man here.

Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah.

Maybe we will have a good
prayer and have our minds straight.

Astaghfirullah.

What are you talking
about with sheikh here.

My sheikh, he is
the maddest of men.

He is getting the courage
from you to say those.

Whatever, let me kiss your hand, my sheikh.
-Astaghfirullah

-Yusuf.
-My Hunkar.

Send word to
Aksemseddin Effendi..

Tell him we're coming.

We will go to him.

My Hunkar.

Sheikh effendi was supposed
to go to Goynuk today.

What do you mean he is going?

Are you telling me
this now, Yusuf?

My Hunkar..

...i could not say it as
there was the council.

-Then you went to rest..
-Yusuf!

Pray that..

...he hasn't left yet.

As you command, my Sultan.

Pray.

Do you approach
this silent usually?

I always start to every story
that ends with blood like this.

Lucas Notaras.

Mehmed will lose his
blood at the end of this story.

Do you have the courage for it?

My teeth are still as
sharp as a wolf's teeth.

However..

...Mehmed's claw
is a lion's claw.

Yes.

He has power in his blood.

However..

...this blood is not
in Mehmed only.

With your help, that is.

Mehmed did not share a
small apple garden with me.

He shared the whole empire.

Even if Orhan manages this, the
only thing he can share with me..

...is a small grave.

You wouldn't come to me..

...if you had any other choice

True.

However, there is another way.

Now, I can go to Mehmed
and tell him that you are..

...cooperating with Orhan.

Kurtcu is skilled
in making one talk.

What I am saying is..

...if I give Mehmed
a traitor shahzade..

...and a grand Duke..

...who is trying to
re-conquer Rome..

Then go do as you say.

If you wanted..

...Mehmed to live..

...you would've done it already.

What do I want, then?

The same thing all of us want.

Ruling.

The state lied in between
your lips when Murad was alive.

However, I believe it was still like this
until Mehmed conquered Constantinople.

However, everything
has changed now.

Now, Mehmed is a powerful
emperor, even if you're not there.

However, if Orhan
sits on that throne..

You have my pardon.

You have my pardon.

Eyvallah my sheikh.

Make way!

Hadhrat Fatih Sultan Mehmed Han!

Aksemseddin Effendi..

Has your duty ended?

Where are you going
to, leaving us here alone?

My Hunkar..

...we came here..

...for the conquest.

Thank Allah, conquest is done.

Now, we need to leave..

...and continue serving you.

Both us and the people
of Constantinople..

...have a lot to learn from you.

Has your service
to the city ended?

Will you leave the
city without guidance?

Even if our duty has ended..

...yours continue
in a different way.

Do not worry.

Faithful sultans, who will be
loyal to this graceful cause..

...will accompany you.

Many others will also come.

As every century has
a leader and a state.

What if there are matters that
need attendance until then?

It cannot wait, my sheikh.

The person that
gets in my dreams..

...that does not
allow me to his side..

...is such a person that..

...he does not wait.

I haven't been sleeping for so
long. I can't sleep, my sheikh.

Ayyub Sultan doesn't
allow me to see him.

I wish to enter
and see his face...

...but he doesn't allow me.

But he says, "if I
die, protect my grave.”

I don't understand.
What does he mean?

Peace be upon the friend
of the prophet [PBUH].

Upon the glorious sahaba who
does hot come to us but comes to you.

There are many Muslims who would
give up a thousand nights of sleep...

...for that dream that
keeps you awake my Sultan.

I can sacrifice a thousand
nights, my sheikh.

But what does it mean?

Who knows?

Maybe because you came all the
way here but never visited his grave.

If you wish, let's go
visit his grave together.

Do you know where...

...he is buried?

This neighborhood on the border of
Galata. You have to bring Mehmed there.

Why would Mehmed come here when
he is dealing with all other things, Lukas?

You will find a way, Halil.

That's the only thing
you have to do anyway.

Let's say I succeed in
bringing Mehmed here.

With Dogan Agha and
the others around him...

...no one can get close to
Mehmed, especially not Orhan.

Those Varangian
guards who survived...

...will be waiting for Mehmed here
disguised as the people of the city.

And when he arrives,
they'll cause a chaos.

They still can't get close
to Mehmed. Besides...

I'm aware of that, Halil.

Then?

There are a few
tall buildings here.

Orhan will be waiting on the top
floor of the house with the blue door.

He'll wait for his prey
with his bow and arrow.

He has proven many times
how skilled he is at archery.

I hope he makes his best shot.

Otherwise...

This is the place, my Sultan.

The glorious mujahid,
who guided us years ago..

...and whom we followed
in this sacred conquest...

...lies in this grave.

I knew it.

He was here, with us.

Eyvallah.

He was with us
during the conquest.

I knew it, my sheikh.

O, the sanjak carrier of Allah's Rasul
[PBUH]. We followed your footsteps.

We came here to be a loyal ummah of the
prophet [PBUH] Whose Rose-like face you saw...

...to rule with
justice like you...

...to carry the sanjak.

We came to carry the trust.

Do not deprive us
of your intercession.

Aameen.

My sheikh.

Saltuk, Satilmis. Mark
the location of the grave.

-As you order, my Hunkar.
-We'll do it, my Sultan.

My sheikh.

Attention!

My sheikh.

Did we find him?

Eyvallah.

Thanks to Allah.

There's a question eating at my
heart, but I don't know how to ask.

Ask, Zaganos Pasha.

Doubt is the seed of was was a.

Rather than letting it disturb you,
ask, so we can solve it together.

With so many graves
close to the walls...

...how did the
Byzantine infidels...

...never destroy or
remove the grave of him?

That's what confuses me.

Brothers...

Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari...

.....wasn't just a good Muslim
who hosted the Prophet PBUH]...

....he was a warrior of jihad.

In his eighty years of life, there
wasn't a single jihad he didn't join.

Although he was old, weak and sick...

...he came here to wave the sanjak of Islam in Constantinople.

Let his dedication to jihad and his
Muslim morals, be an example for us all..

Aameen.

I came here on
behalf of the Emperor.

Our Empperor orders the immediate removal of this grave next to our walls!
- What if we don't?

If you don't, the Emperor said he
will have the body torn apart by dogs!

Know this first...

Muslims take orders from no one but Allah and the Prophet PBUH]

Then remember this.

We buried such a good man by the walls of Constantinople that...

......the moment you touch his grave, no Byzantine will ever find peace again in this world.

If you have the courage, try it!

Lets go back.

That's how it
happened, my Pasha.

That's what we've been told
and what has become clear to us.

It seems they didn't have
the courage, my sheikh.

Come on, place the stone,
what are you waiting for?

Put it down, come on.

Brother, everything's alright but how
do we know this is really his grave?

It's maybe a bit to the right,
maybe to the left, maybe over there.

How do we know?

Look, Siyirmis [madman].

I buried my brother with my own
hands. And we're here, beside a grave.

Don't speak like a fool
and make me angry now.

Not today. Not today, brother.

Do as our sheikh told us.

Did we dig it up and see? I'm
not saying the body isn't here.

I'm just saying it might've moved
a little. We can try if you want.

What are you going to try?
You really lost your mind.

Are you going to dig this
grave too, you sapper?

Look, if you
disturb that body...

...may Allah forbid, you
might cause us to be struck.

You're already struck,
don't make me a part of this.

Don't make me part of your sin.

Stop! Am I saying that?
Why are you getting mad?

Then what are
you saying? Say it.

I'm saying let's
move these stones...

...about a grave or two away.

Let's say we did. Then?

You know, sheikh Efendi found Ayyub
al-Ansari's grave like a compass right away.

No matter where we place the
stone, he will come and find it anyway.

Hasbunallahu wa Ni'mal
Wakeel [Allah is sufficient for us]

A wali came and
said this is the grave.

Are you saying he is lying?

I'm not saying he's lying.

If the grave is near the wall...

...he'll come no matter
where you place the stone.

This is a blessed grave.

After all these years, is it
easy to find the exact spot?

Look.

Let me...

...see the hikmah of
waits with my own eyes.

Alright then, brother. I'll step aside.
If you're going to get struck, get struck.

Don't involve me or
make me part of your sin.

Do whatever you're going to do, alright?
-So this isn't your unstruck state?

How much more can you be struck?

I'll crack your head
with this stone.

I'm placing this stone here.

He says we can be struck.

Ayyub al-Ansari Hadhrat.

And if you are here...

My Allah, don't
strike me please.

Now, bismillah.

How do we know it's
here? Maybe it's over there.

My Hunkar, Halil Pasha
wants to come to your presence.

Let him in.

My Hunkar.

What happened Lala?

My Hunkar, I heard that...

...the grave of Ayyub
al-Ansari has been found.

You heard right.

My Allah blessed
us with this as well.

Thanks to Allah.
Thanks to Allah.

Is there anything else?

Sure, my Hunkar.

I walked around the city in
disguise, among the people.

The people are very
pleased with your generosity.

But other neighborhoods
of the city also wait for you.

They want to hear your promises.

If you agree, after the grave visit,
let's go to the Studo neighborhood...

...and sacrifice forty sheep
and distribute them to the people.

Let the people witness how
generous your hands and heart are.

You are right. We will go.

Let everyone see who is who.

The order is given by our glorious,
blessed, and mighty Hunkar.

Candarh will take care of it.

He will bring Mehmed
alone to the place we told him.

Will he be able to convince
him? What do you think?

He wants to regain
his old power.

So he will convince him.

Once I take the
throne that I deserve...

...i will give him the power he
wants in his grave. In his grave.

Do whatever you want
after Mehmed dies.

But for now, we need him.

Mehmed will go to the neighborhoods
at the Galata border in the evening.

He will pass the street before
the house we prepared for you.

Now go and make your plan.

This might be your last chance.

Don't worry. I will
leave soon, Notaras.

Don't forget. Your last chance.

I've been itching and hurting all over
from wearing that armor for so long.

Vallahi, I've understood the
value of the caftan, Bahadir Pasha.

That's the b*ttlefield, Pasha,
even the clothes are tough.

Right, right.

But I think you should not
get too used to this caftan.

Why do you say that?

Does the Sultan have
another conquest in mind?

No my Pasha, no, but...

I heard that you sealed
the conquest decree.

So?

So, they say whoever holds
the seal is Suleyman [ruler].

So... your new caftan will be waiting
for you at tonight's duty assignment.

Congratulations on your
grand vizier position.

Bahadir Pasha, at least
you don't make fun of me.

Astaghfirullah my Pasha.

I say what I see.

Your height, your attitude...

...your hair, your beard...

Can we find a better
grand vizier than you?

At least don't mention the hair,
Bahadir Pasha. I lost half of it.

No, my Pasha. Where did you
lose that hair? In the hamam?

You lost it on the b*ttlefield for
the well-being of this great state.

Alright, let's not waste
any more time. Let's go.

Bring the turban.

Here, my Sultan. Mehmed
will pass through this street.

He will come. He will.

Like Candarli, like
ulubatli, like Kara Mustafa...

...let him also take his share from
Sultan Orhan's arrow, right Ihsan?

Inshaallah my
Sultan. Inshaallah.

The Varangian guards
will be on the street too.

May Allah forbid, in case
something goes wrong.

Do you think Candarh will bring
Mehmed here? What do you say, Ihsan?

It's fear of death, my Sultan. He
will do whatever it takes to bring him.

As soon as you sh**t the
arrow, the guards will attack.

These are the Varangian
guards, right, Ihsan?

Allah Allah.

Allah Allah.

My sheikh, did something
happen? Why did you stop?

It was night time.

It seems they
marked wrong place.

Even though these
stones are here...

...the place we came
last night is here.

You are right. This is
where we prayed last night.

Satilmis.

My Sultan.

Are you sure you
marked the right place?

My Sultan, it was dark.

We might have missed
it by a step or two.

But sheikh Efendi finds the right
place like a compass, mashaallah.

Then learn it well
during the day.

The tomb will be where the
sheikh Efendi showed us.

Let its magnificence be worthy of the
spirituality of this sahaba of the prophet[PBUH].

Saruca, did you hear that?

Don't worry, my Hunkar.

You can be sure that we will build a tomb
worthy of Ayyub al-Ansari Hadhrat [R.A.].

You made the right
decision, my Sultan.

Placing the Muslim seal on the
city by having the tomb of such a

glorious man at the center of the city's
construction is surely the most blessed choice.

Molla Gurani.

My Lala.

Yes my Hunkar.

Sheikh Efendi found his grave.

And you should pray for him.

I want the two scholars of Islam like you and
him, to have a share in this blessed duty.

Of course, my Sultan.

O, our greatest Allah, who is the
owner of the earth and the skies!

O the most merciful and compassionate,
in whose presence no creature is forgotten!

As you know, we entrusted
to the soil of this grave...

...a sahaba of the prophet
[PBUH], a symbol of conquest.

This grave is not just
a place for a body...

...but a place of purpose,
a symbol of conquest.

My Allah, we came to you.

We followed the pure faith...

...the spirit of gaza you
granted Abu Ayyub al-Ansari.

My Allah, make this city blessed
for your servants who follow his path.

Let his soul be in peace, his
position high, and his da'wah eternal.

Aameen.

My Allah...

Let us be...

...also among those who seek your consent like him, those
who leave a Mark, those who carry your trust rightly.

Aameen.

Velhamdulillahi rabbil alemin.

Al fatiha.

Mashaallah, there is
enough for everyone.

You continue.

Strength to your elbow.

So took the nun outfit.

Everything returns to
it's original, Gennadius.

Your confusion is for naught.

Confusion?

You are my greatest
disappointment.

Of course.

Everything advances beyond
your mind and thoughts.

That is what confuses
the most, I believe.

I couldn't have guessed that..

...Sultan Mehmed would put..

.-.A spy woman near me.

These women.

I am not the only
one you couldn't see.

They all accompanied me..

...in my difficult task.

They are all Muslim women..

...who devoted themselves..

...to the future of Islam.

The era of conquests..

...has just began, Gennadius.

You will get used to
the ruling of Muslims.

Also..

...the patriarchate that Sultan
Mehmed has offered, is a great gift.

I hope..

.You'll know it's worth.

I do not intend to..

..Oppose Sultan's orders.

That would be right.

As there is no
victory to be won..

...in these lands
against Sultan Mehmed.

Qadi effendi, this has
come from the Qadi of Bursa.

After hearing that you're here.

This Qadi..

Won't he know his duties?

Doesn't he know..

...what the command..

...of Sultan is?

What is it, Hizir Celebi?

Do you have bad news?

The Qadi of Bursa
has sent an answer.

We told him to send the Turks..

...and he sends
a list of excuses.

What did he write?

Is he opposing..

...the command of our Hunkar?

Not opposing, however..

...the Turks does
not want to migrate.

The fields, the hearth..

...the graveyard..

...all kinds of excuses.

What are you
smiling for, Ali Bey?

Turks has done what is
expected, Qadi effendi..

Don't get mad.

The things you've listed
are the heart of Turks.

They do not know the city.

To understand what kind of
command our Sultan has given.

I do not get mad
at them, Ali Bey.

I am mad at the..

...Qadi of Bursa himself.

As if we're asking about his
opinion. He did not get up..

...but wrote an answer instead.

We are Turks as
well, Qadi Effendi..

You forgot how Turks acted..

...when you became a Qadi here..

...as well.

You cannot make
them do this by force.

Difficulties..

...makes it worse, Ali Bey.

All these efforts
will not go to waste..

...just because a couple Turks
did not want to come here.

Those who come by force..

...come against
their will, Hizir.

You cannot build a city..

...with them.

You do not only need stone..

..But faithful hearts as well.

What shall we do?

Shall we go and beg?

Tell them that Hadhrat
Ayyub Sultan's..

...grave lies here.
Then let us see..

...if they are
coming here or not.

Welcome, Gio.

Thank you, Hadhrat Sultan.

I congratulate you, sir.

I bring good wishes..

...from my people..

...and my senators.

Thank you.

Thank you, Gio.

I wish you to accept these..

...as a gift of conquest,
Hadhrat Sultan.

However, we both know that
you didn't come here just for this.

Your trouble is to learn
what will happen to Galata.

Isn't that right?

All of the people of Galata..

...did everything they
could through the conquest.

They will do what they can from
now on as well, Hadhrat Sultan.

Yes.

As people of Galata
know my wrath well.

That is why they had to do that.

However..

...let them know how
loyal I am to my word.

Galata and your council
will not be touched.

You can do your
trade as you wish.

We are grateful, Hadhrat Sultan.

However, you will only be
independent in domestic affairs.

For all of the works outside,
my command applies.

However you see
fit, Hadhrat Sultan.

Good.

...

We would love to host you
at Galata, Hadhrat Sultan.

Inshaallah.

Inshaallah.

My Hunkar.

This deal you've
made was a good one.

They couldn't act
their own anyways.

-However..
-What are you uneasy about again, Candarli?

My Hunkar.

We allowed people of Galata.

This neighbourhood that I
mentioned we should go to..

...is a Venetian neighbourhood.

Now, if they hear
about this deal..

...they may get
offended, my Hunkar.

Let us not make them wait, then.

As our Hunkar command.

Saruca.

Let them put the fences widely.

There may be other martyrs.
Let us find each of them.

As you command, my Pasha.

Not from here,
wider, my Valiant.

Alright. -Wider, through there.

Alright, Agha.

Align it.

Ayyub Sultan, who has
hosted many refugees..

...will host many Muslims now.

Thank Allah.

He has united us.

Alhamdulillah.

Aameen.

You were supposed to
send two men after Notaras.

What's the situation?

I've assigned two guards.

However, he is constantly
erasing his tracks.

I am saying right now.

This infidel Notaras
is up to something.

I have a bad feeling
as well, Sehabettin.

If it was up to me, I would've
cut his breath at once

however, you know how
important it is for our Sultan.

Our Sultan knows the best.

Yes.

Dogan Agha.

My Hunkar.

Isn't there too many soldiers?

Some of them will leave
in advance, my Hunkar.

To secure your road.

Alright, then.

My Hunkar, allow me.

Just as how you want to..

...trust the people, the
people would like to..

...trust you as well.

What I mean is, if
we go this crowded..

...we cannot have their trust.

This is not the
capital, my Pasha.

And we just got
to know the city.

Candarli is right.

-My Hunkar..
-You stay here.

Salamun alaikum,
my Bey. You called me.

Alaikum salam, Saltuk.

Come here.

After seeing that grand
person while checking the area..

...i thought of Hasan.

-I was sad at first.
-Of course, my Bey. You weren't there.

You weren't there. Thank
Allah you weren't there.

My Bey, don't get me wrong,
if you saw our brother like that..

...i know you, my Bey.

Your heart would've burned.

You know that I loved
Hasan like a brother.

My Bey, he is on
my mind every day.

Just as I get close to forgetting about
it, I remember him soon afterwards.

My eyes water, my Bey.

As long as I've known myself,
I am fighting alongside you.

No one's more used to
seeing martyrs and the dead.

However, this brother of
ours is different, my Bey.

Our brother is
different, my Bey.

When I think about it..

...i go to a corner and cry
to hide it from everyone.

I cry hiding.

Valiancy..

...brotherhood is
just like this, Saltuk.

You cry here..

...and he..

...would want you to smile..

...even when he becomes a martyr.

How does he want
me to smile, my Bey?

I gave a promise to
Hasan about you, Saltuk.

It is his will.

It wouldn't be
right to wait longer.

I do not understand, my Bey.

Did Hasan include
me in his will?

Calm down.

Would Hasan want
something bad done to you?

No, my Bey.

However, did my brother
include me in his will?

Hasan said that..

...may my Bey always smile.

My Bey has fallen for someone.

If the woman he has
fallen feels the same..

...then show him the way..

...so that he may reach her.

I know my Saltuk
Agha. I know him well.

He can't say his
troubles to you.

This is w*r, after all.

I have a feeling.

If I die..

...the secret of my Saltuk Agha..

.Dies with me.

So, you should know.

So that my Saltuk
Agha may always smile.

Look here.

Look at my brother here, my Bey.

My Bey..

...i buried that love..

...in my heart.

I didn't want anyone
to know, however..

...everyone knows it, I guess.

You kept silent..

...however..

...my brother Hasan did not.

Now..

...for my brother Hasan..

...do you still love Fatma Hatun?

Yes, my Bey. He
even put it mildly.

I do.

Then, the will of
my brother Hasan..

...will be realized.

One of our faces..

Will smile..

...as Hasan said.

My Bey.

My brother.

May you always smile.

May you prosper, my Bey.

Inshaallah..

...the building of the
city happens at once.

Right, Pasha?

Of course, my
Hunkar. Inshaallah.

Inshaallah.

Still, the most important
part is to have people trust us.

As you know, trust is important.

As no enmity..

...nor treachery can come
from those whom you trust.

For example, you and me.

What we ve become
divided for can happen.

However..

...you know that
I fully trust you.

-Because no enmity can come from you.
-Stop, my Hunkar.

What happened?

Orhan is waiting at
the place we are going.

He wishes to take your life.

Are you taking me to my death?

My Hunkar, let
us drop these now.

Let us turn back.

Where is Orhan?

Tell me.

My Hunkar.

I wished that...

...mo one would
leave this city.

However, I see that you all have
the stubbornness of Saint Gregor.

However, do not forget
that Constantinople..

...is the city of orthodoxy.

Do not forget.
This is your home.

May god help you all.

May god help you instead.

You are the one under the
command of enemy, Gennadius.

Where is he then? No one's here.

I swear, my Hunkar.

Notaras..

...did all the planning.

I wanted to show you both of
them after waiting a little more.

Notaras!

You've called me, sir.

This, Orhan.

How many lives did he take
from Evrenesogullari, Ali Bey?

Five lives.

I've lost the last one..

..On my arms, my Hunkar.

What about
Malkocogullari, Bali Bey?

I didn't count..

...after Hasan, my Sultan.

All I've counted was..

...the time of revenge.

Where is that dog Orhan?

I've just learned
his hiding spot, sir.

If you wish, I can bring him..

...dead or alive.

He will serve me one
last time before dying.

Now, open your ears..

...and hear well.

Did you bring me
to have me k*lled..

..Or give up Notaras..

...and Orhan.

Of course not, my Hunkar.

If my intention was ill, I wouldn't
have put you in this house.

You did not mislead me.

You did not betray my trust.

May you prosper.

May you prosper, my Hunkar.

What about Orhan?

Where is he, did he escape?

Who can escape my wrath..

...let alone Orhan.

We are leaving this city.

Unfortunately.

We will come back, Hagia Sophia.

We will come back,
Constantinople!

These are Varangian
guards, right?

That's right, my Sultan.

These are Varangian guards,
Notaras himself sent them.

Since when does an infidel knight
wear a zihgir [thumb ring] Ihsan?

These... these are
Jannisaries, my Sultan.

We were lured
into a trap, Ihsan.

A trap.

Candarh is a wolf,
Notaras is a fox.

They want to turn us into
a lamb at this table, Ihsan.

Then what will we do now?

The ship that carries
the priests to Morea...

We will get on it
and leave the city.

If you hadn't noticed, we would've
already been caught, my Sultan.

Right, right.

Once we reach Morea safely...

We will gather the tribes
and the beys around us...

We will come again next spring.

There is no other
spring for you, Orhan.

You escape, my Sultan!

Evrenesoglu...

Saltuk!

Right, Saltuk!

Would I ever let
you go this time?

Get up! Get up!

Do you think I don't
know what you did?

How many times
have you escaped us?

Do you think I don't know
what you did to my brother?

Where? Where are you going?

Who will save you
from me this time?

Don't, Saltuk. Don't.

Don't, huh?

Did my brother
beg you like this?

Did Hasan ever
say don't" to you?

Every breath you
take is Haram for you.

Saltuk, he will be
punished by our Sultan.

Hasan was really young, Saltuk.

One never knows when
death will come, right?

My Hunkar, I am really curious.
Why did you play such a game on me?

If you wanted, you could have
taken my life with just a word.

I lost hope in you
a long time ago.

But I was wondering.

Did you lose hope in me or not?

I served you for a long
time. I made many mistakes.

But whatever I did, I did it according to my
own morals, for the benefits of our state.

I considered the state more sacred
than my own life, even more than your life.

Maybe today is my last day
wearing this grand vizier's turban.

In the past, I would give my head fighting
against someone not worthy of wearing this turban.

I wouldn't let go of the
seal of the grand vizier.

What about now?

Since you lost hope in me...

...neither this turban
nor the head under it...

...nas a bit of value.

I can sacrifice my life
and my wealth for you.

Now if you allow me...

...before you dismiss me,
asking for your forgiveness...

...i wish to give
up on this position.

Come in, Lala.

My Sultan.

Is what I heard true?

What did you hear?

Candarli.

They say he was leading you
to your death, may Allah forbid.

Don't get upset
right away, Zaganos.

It is not as you think.

I know everything.

I tested Halil Pasha.

I pretended not to
know to see his loyalty.

But he is not loyal, my Sultan.

There was a plan in another plan.
He should have informed you first.

And how do we know he didn't
change his mind on the way?

If he had told us before he left,
we would have taken precautions.

And Orhan would have learned
and taken precautions too.

Candarli did this to destroy
both Notaras and Orhan.

-But my Sultan..
-Zaganos.

No but, Lala.

Don't make your own
plans and act on your own.

Candarh passed
the loyalty test.

And you know well that I
see and know everything.

I will not open the book of
betrayal until the right time comes.

That is why, don't act
based on your judgement.

When the time comes..

...i will have everyone
pay one by one.

Do not worry.

As you command, my Sultan.

What about..

Orhan?

Where is he now?

The disgrace of the
Ottoman empire, Orhan.

Orhan, the servant of Byzantine.

Because of the
servant hood you did..

...the state of Ottoman has taken the
same goal in forty years, instead of five.

And for what?

For the hope you
got from the infidel.

Because you became
a puppet for the tyrant..

...and showed enmity towards us.

I did not hope
anything from anyone!

I've fought to get the
throne that is my right..

...Mehmed!

Are you looking for your right..

...at the lap of infidels?

You unwary.

You dog.

You grew on our
back like a plague.

You overburdened us.

Now..

.It is our time
to walk straight.

Neither you..

...nor someone else..

...will stop my might!

Now..

.It is time to get rid of this
problem once and for all!

The last eyes you will see..

.Will be mine.

Yours too!

Let this be a lesson
to all the world.

Every man who betrays me...

...or stands in my way...

Vallahi...

...will share the same fate.

We were not blessed with
martyrdom again, ghazi dervish.

We were not Evrenos Bey.

Our prayer and our wish
are both for Shahadah.

Next time, inshaallah.

Inshaallah ghazi
dervish, inshaallah.

"Indeed, Allah showers his blessings upon
the prophet, and his angels pray for him.

O believers! Invoke Allah's blessings upon him, and
salute him with worthy greetings of peace.' [33:56]

Since we are in a
masjid of conquest...

...the first khutbah
suits a conqueror.

Here.

O, the soldiers of prophet
Muhammad [PBUH]!

O, the victorious army of Islam!

O valiants honored with the
praise of our prophet [PBUH]...

...those blessed with the
title of the "wonderful army'"!

May our victory be blessed,
may our conquest be mubarak.

Aameen.

This sword is the sword
of the Ottoman state.

It is not drawn to take lives,
but to stop oppression...

...and stand against oppressors.

This sword is drawn to protect
the rights of the ummah...

...and to glorify
the name of Islam.

This holy place...

...Hagia Sophia.

The one and only of Constantinople
that we turned into Islambol...

...is how a house of
prayer for Muslims.

It is now a grand masjid.

And it was deserved by
the swords of the Muslims.

This masjid will remain a mosque until the qiyamah and
our grandchildren will continue to pray here forever.

O brave mujahideen!

You gained this blessed city with
your sweat, your tears, and your blood.

But know that the
real victory lies here.

The real victory is in the
heads that bow before Allah.

Every breath that stands for
the haqq is a pillar of this masjid.

From this blessed place,
the justice of Allah will rise.

As long as we are fair, as long as we
are strong, the oppressed will be happy
and the world will be filled with peace.

The oppressor will not be able to
find a chance. Oppression will end.

The conquest of
Constantinople is not the end.

On the contrary,
it is the beginning.

Our march of conquest will continue until
Constantinople becomes the only capital of the world...

...and the Ottoman state
becomes the only state.

I swear to my
glorious ancestors...

...who made the sky their
tent and the sun their flag...

...i swear to holy Qur'an
for which we fight...

...i swear to the
word of Allah...

...the march of the mujahideen will not stop
until the last oppressor's life is taken...

...and the da'wah of Allah
will defeat the falsehood.

Truth has come and
falsehood perished.

Allah is the greatest!

Allah is the greatest!
Allah is the greatest!

Allah is the greatest!

Allah is the greatest!
