[bunniefuu]

Common era,


We should leave, general. There is no hope..

Khahd Ibn al-Walhd!

Vahan!

This is the end for you.

There is no end for the brave..

You're saying your last words,
anyway. Speak as you wish.

You look so brave...

You too.

Here stops the march
of Romans, Vahan..

-Allah-u akbar!
-Allah-u akbar!

-Allah-u akbar!
-Allah-u akbar!

-Allah-u akbar!
-Allah-u akbar!

Muhammad PBUH
heralded this years ago.

Today in Yarmuk, the first
castle of heathen Rome falls.

Inshaallah, the lions of Allah will never stop
until they capture the last castle of Rome..

-Allah-u akbar!
-Allah-u akbar!

-Allah-u akbar!
-Allah-u akbar!

-Allah-u akbar!
-Allah-u akbar!

The lions of Allah will never stop until
they capture the last castle of Rome.

Hadhrat Khalid Ibn al-Walid [R.A.],
the sword of Islam, once said so.

In the valley of Yarmuk.

The lions of Allah will never stop until
they capture the last castle of Rome.

First, we destroyed
the Byzantine empire.

It was the first Rome.

And now...

It's time for the second Rome.

Pontus.

The last Rome is another story.

There will be a time to attack
it, with Allah's permission.

Is that right, Mahmud Pasha?

Let's hear it from
grand vizier Pasha.

How does the wind
blow from the west?

The heathen English are
having a fight of power.

The dynasty of York and Lancaster
are shedding blood on the whole island.

People are suffering.

Just like in Kosovo, it's
impossible for them to challenge us.

What about the French?

The heathen French are no
different from the English, my Hunkar.

Although King Louis
defeated the English,

...he cannot maintain
Serenity in his country.

Does the land of Hungary
have the same Serenity?

Bahadir Pasha knows better.

They are tough people.

The land of Hungary is
getting more powerful.

But everybody knows
that we are in peace.

Obviously, they are
trying to buy time for power.

Well.. That's for sure.

So where is the
problem, Mahmud Pasha?

The origin of the problem
lies in the black sea.

The English, French and even Hungarians
cannot raise any problems for us.

So who can even raise problems
in the black sea, Mahmud Pasha?

Our commercial ally Venice?

Or Genoese that
we took Galata from?

Neither.

The real trouble and problem is
David, the Roman emperor of Trabzon.

So you say the campaign of
Pontus is sooner than I thought?

Who is David Komnenos to
even challenge the Ottomans?

Don't underestimate
him, Sehabettin Pasha.

According to the intelligence we
got, Pontus is after a huge alliance.

If they make a deal, we
will have tough days to come.

The council of Hunkar
is the chamber of truth.

Let us know with whom that heathen
Komnenos is having an alliance with.

My Hunkar.

Finally, we made it.

Saruca, did you find it?

An alliance, huh?

A holy alliance.

You know how hard
that is as well, Komnenos.

I am here to pay the
price, your holiness.

We have no other choice
but to have empire of Pontus..

...live as its successor.

You can be the
emperor of Pontus.

I want you to form a
crusade more than you.

However, you are
mentioning the impossible.

Mehmed will walk towards us.

That is no secret.

If the world of Christians do
not support us, our end will be..

...the same as Constantinople.

I commend you, emperor.

You do not hold back,
like your father Alexios did.

You are outgoing and brave.

Besides, it is a great move
that you wed your daughter Julia..

...with Karamanoglu
Ibrahim's son, Suleyman.

This will win us time
while Turks eat each other.

However, this will not
unify the world of Christians.

That's why I'm here.

Europe is drowning
in blood for years.

That is not possible while English
and French are at each other's throats.

Your holiness.

I can give you something..

...that will stop the w*r among Christians.

Jesus Christ will have
to rise from the dead.

The holy relics, your holiness.

If you can have
those, you can revive..

...the world of Christians.

Whoever has those holy
relics, the world of Christians..

...will bend their knees to him.

Those relics were
but a holy dream to us.

The new owners of
Constantinople are Turks.

They were buried in a
tomb beneath Hagia Sophia.

It is only a matter of time
before Mehmed finds them..

...and show them to the world.

And this possibility
made my days sleepless.

Hagia Sophia.

My Sultan...

I understood everything,
however, how did you know that..

...the tomb is beneath
Hagia Sophia?

The infidels..

Call it Hagia Sophia, but we made
it the great mosque, Ayasofya.

The holy wisdom.

I've heard the stories about
it in my years as shahzade..

...from Cyriacus of Ancona

My Italian mentor.

I was after it since that day.

It seems the protective
charm has been removed.

Evelallah, my Hunkar.

As Hadhrat Rasul [PBUH]
Said: "The wisdom starts.."

...with the fear of Allah".

Are you ready?

We are ready, my Hunkar.

Then, lift it up,
with bismillah.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Help here.

Astazubillah. Astaghfirullah.

This is it, my Hunkar.

A box most strange.

It won't have any signs on it.

A strange box.

Do you know what this is?

No, my Hunkar.

It has a password.

Bismillah.

My Hunkar.

There are 12 pieces.
-13.



It doesn't say
anything, my Sultan.

Even if Mehmed reaches the
tomb, he will not have the relics.

I am certain of it.

Why not?

Because, the holy relics
are not in Constantinople.

That is a lie.

Where are they then?

In Pontus.

You force us to an alliance.

Do you have them?

If I had them, I would've
brought them with me.

Where are they then?

At Sumela monastery.

At the hands of a couple monks
who call themselves "the silent".

Tell me what you want from me.

If you can send some people
that can decipher the esoteric halls..

...of the monastery,
the relics will be yours.

And that devil Mehmed
will find his end.

When those holy relics
rise in your hands..

...the world of Christians
will forget their clashes.

The marching of Turks will halt.

We will send them back
to their fields, to their hell..

...and get rid of the trouble
of Mehmed once and for all.

You ask for a great
sacrifice for your empire.

I wish I was worrying
only for myself.

That devil head of Mehmed
has three Rome's, your holiness.

First one fell at
Constantinople.

We are the second.

We will fall, if you
do not support us.

When we fall, Mehmed will
be alone with the third Rome.

The real Rome.

The envoys that went to
Mehmed's palace at Constantinople..

...talk about a golden ball, on top
of his throne at chamber of petitions.

Turks call this golden
ball 'red apple'.

Mehmed's last target is
not Pontus, your holiness.

It is that globe Saint
Peter is holding in his hand.

Vatican!

Assist me and we shall
find the relics together.

You must help me, your holiness.

Not only for Pontus.
But for Vatican..

...or the third Rome,
as Mehmed sees it.

This paper cannot be blank.

But it is, my Sultan.

Nothing is written on it.

Maybe we don't know
how to look at it, Pasha.

We need some light
to reveal this secret.

I wonder if...

Careful, Pasha!

Here...

It is now visible.

Do you see, my Pasha?

But this does not look like
the languages we know.

Hizir Celebi, do you
understand what it says?

Come and see.

It looks like the language of
ancient Arhami, my Hunkar.

I know that.

Do you know how to read it?

It's a difficult language
to learn, my Sultan.

Unfortunately, there is no one in Payitaht
who can read what is written there.

Despite the many schools
and madrasahs we founded...

...and the scholars and teachers we brought from
distant places, is there no one who can read this text?

There is, but he
is not in Payitaht.

Where is he then?

In Tokat.

In the famous
Yagibasan madrasah.

Is he a mudarris?

I wish he was just a mudarris...

He is a crazy man.

He was my student.

I also don't know...

We can call him a mudarris,
an astrologer... even a doctor...

He is interested in
many other fields.

But...

He does not have one thing.

What is it?

Sanity.

Good then.

Our madman
better than the wise.

Now tell me... what is
the name of this man?

Tokatli Lutfi.

Mudarris Lutfi.

Astrologer Lutfi.

Molla Lutfi.

Doctor Lutfi.

He is sometimes called
"Valiant" as well, my Hunkar.

He is known as deli Lutfi.

If Allah allows us to survive,
you will write it down, Danisment.

I will tell you to write,
and you will do so.

Why did he invite us here?

Why did deli Lutfi call us here?

Now you will ask me..

Deli Lutfi, why did
you bring us here?

It is now time to take care of
our gardens and fields, right?

Bring it here, Danisment.

Have you started
going out to the garden?

Have you seen a
huge snake there?

Did it bite your leg?
Did it release its venom?

Where will we go after that?

What is he doing?

To imam Efendi..

Essalatu Vesselam.

Funeral prayer
will be performed...

Then goodbye...

Eyvallah.

But it won't happen again.

You wonder why?

Because deli Lutfi
has found a medicine!

Medicine?

Danisment.

Until when?

Until nine, my Efendi..

Until nine.

Yes my Efendi..

Now watch me.

Let's see what happens
when a snake bites a man.

Oh no...

Deli Lutfi lost his mind.

Don't do it! Don't do it
for a medicine, deli Lutfi!

You are going to die!

It is going to k*ll you Lutfi!

Lutfi!

Don't, deli Lutfi!

You must not hurt yourself!

Please, my son!

Don't.. Don't k*ll yourself...

k*lling yourself on purpose...

...is forbidden!

Imam Efendi... it is forbidden not to
pursue knowledge after reading the Quran.

No, my son.. Don't!

Watch, people!

What is he doing?!

Don't!

Don't! You will k*ll yourself!

Don't!

Don't!

It really hurts!

He will die for sure.

Danisment!

Start counting!

One, two, three...

Four...

...five, six...

...eight...

...nine...

-My Efendi... -Yes.
-Here.

-Has 9 seconds passed?
-Yes my Efendi.

Bismillah.

What is he doing?

Deli Lutfi k*lled himself!

Stupid...he k*lled himself!

He is dead. He died.

Vallahi he died. He passed away.

My Efendi..

What is happening?!

Alhamdulillah! Alhamdulillah!

Eyvallah!

That's perfect.

Here we go! Bismillah!

Danisment, write this down.

Well... first,

...the world span over.

Then my breath slowed down.

I sweat blood.

Then, my heart was moved.

I was breathless.

And then I got the
cure. Alhamdulillah.

Thanks to Allah. Alhamdulillah.

I'm telling you, people!

Whoever is to work hard
should get the cure here.

Take care! Eyvallah.

Did you write? Come on, come on.

Send my orders to
Tokat, Mahmud Pasha.

The teacher called deli Lutfu shall be found
immediately and brought to the capital city.

He's not a man who would come here
just because he's invited, my Sultan.

Who invites him
isn't an ordinary man.

This is Sultan's order.

You either obey or be beheaded.

The fear of death is for
reasonable people, Pasha.

We're talking about deli Lutfu.

There is always a way to
make people come around.

As I said, my Sultan,
fear is useless against him.

If we try to treat him with
reason, he isn't like other minds.

What else can make a
mad man come around?

Diamond cuts
diamond, Hizir Celebi.

Another mad man can
make a mad man come over.

I have someone in my mind.

Pull!

Please take me up! Let me go!

Voivode!

You can't catch a big fish here.

Come here, captain.
You bring good luck to me.

Let me go!

I'm begging! Please!

You don't need to beg.

Just answer my questions.

Where are your pirate friends
in the river of tuna hiding?

My brother Mehmed
trusted me for Walachia.

But your friends
damaged that land heavily.

You will help me catch them.

I'm not collecting those
spikes to burn in the winter!

I don't know where
they are. Let me go!

You can catch no fish with
this useless bait.

You have much more to learn.

You embarrassed me in front of
my friend. You are useless to me.

You can be useful for the fish.

Drop!

Stop!

Alright!

I will tell you everything.

The fear of death can help
you catch any kind of fish.

Sir.

-What?
-Our Sultan wants to see Vlad Tepesh immediately.

The biggest chance
is at the gate of Sultan.

Let's see what you find there.

Drop!

My brother Mehmed
likes me so much.

He can't stop
seeing me everyday.

Come in!

Vlad, come here, brother.

You wanted to see me, my Hunkar?

What are you waiting for? Sit.

What's the matter?

I need you for
an important duty.

You miss the days in the school?

A mutual dis... something
starting with 'dis'.

-Discussion.
-Discussion.

Discussion, but not with me.

With a mad man.

Maybe not a discussion.

But an argument.

In short, you need
to go to Tokat.

Tokat?

Don't worry.

Not to the dungeon, but to
the castle of Tokat this time.

To the madrasah of Yagbasan.

Find the teacher
called deli Lutfu there.

And bring him here
as soon as you can.

Teacher?

Forgive me, my sovereign. But
couldn't you find anyone else for this?

He is stubborn and mad.

Who else but you
can bring him here?

-Nobody.
-Then...

It's a tough way. Take a
good companion with you.

What is behind this?

We'll see when we dig.

My brother's trust is my armor.
And my companion is obvious.

Attention!

Vlad, won't you say goodbye?

Stay safe.

Your head scarf's
embroidery is beautiful.

It suits the shah of
roses, my Gulsah.

Your attention made my Rose blossom
in Autumn, it brought spring, my Hunkar.

I thought you would not
not ice it among all these things.

How can you say that?

When I look at your face, I
see the thought in your eyes...

...the feeling in your heart,
even the shadow on your face.

Does a lover not
know the one they love?

Come in.

Can I come in, my Hunkar?

Mustafa... is it allowed in Oghuz custom
to come to the table after your father?

My courage comes from the
value you give to knowledge.

Forgive me, my Sultan.

While completing the task
given by my Lala Mahmut Pasha..

I didn't notice
how time passed.

Being lost in knowledge
hides many mistakes.

Still, do not come to
the table after me again.

Come on.

Come here.

Come sit.

Bismillah now.

What was the task
Mahmut Pasha gave you?

I classify what Khwarezm
wrote about algebra, my Sultan.

I heard you have great
interest and skill in algebra.

What is the truth behind this?

The history lessons I took from
Ashik Pashazade, my Sultan.

What is the connection
between history and algebra?

The wars fought by my ancestors
and my glorious father point to one thing.

On the b*ttlefield, just courage
and strength are not enough.

What else do we need?

The power of wisdom and weapons.

To make the firearms I desire,
I need to be a skilled engineer...

...and to be a skilled engineer I
need great knowledge of algebra.

Mashaallah to you.

May Allah make your mind
broad and your intelligence strong.

As you stand tall and strong, your Sultan father
will always be your supporter and pray for you.

My brother Bayezid
also says the same.

He says that I must be a
shahzade talented in engineering.

My son, your mind and intelligence
make your Sultan father happy.

You are a shahzade who will carry
your father's sanjak further away.

Follow our Sultan.

Follow his footsteps.

Do not pay attention to what
your brother Bayezid says.

Come in.

My Bahar Sultan.

Tell me Daye.

There is a letter from Payitaht.

From our Sultan Mehmed Khan.

Daye, you have
given me great news...

Make your wish!

Serving you is my
biggest wish, my Sultan.

But... if you find it appropriate,
I wish to share your joy.

It is something I have wished for a
long time for my shahzade Bayezid.

Our Sultan has chosen a
suitable Hatun for him to marry.

He wants him to marry Gulperi, the
daughter of Ispendiyaroglu Kasim Bey.

Gulperi Hatun's manners and
beauty are known by everyone.

Allah accepted your
prayers, my Sultan.

Is my Bayezid in his room?

No, my Sultan.

He left the sanjak
with Ishak Pasha.

No one knows why they
left or where they went.

So my eyes were
blind, until I saw you.

I did not know.

My ears were deaf.

Before hearing you, Julia.

Bayezid.

Julia.

My mouth was mute.

Until I talked to you.

I didn't know.

Never.

While I am this in
love with you, Bayezid..

...i am like this rock on
this necklace, chained.

In truth..

I belong in here.

Soon, you will be free of those
chains and find your throne, my Julia.

Do you really
believe it, Bayezid?

You will also believe it.

The light in your
eyes will never fade.

-You two, come with me!
-It must be my father.

-Come on, through here!
-If he's here..

...Ishak Pasha
will send the news.

The only heir of east Rome, the
emperor of grand Pontus, David Komnenos!

Yorgo.

Your majesty?

It seems the winds of Vatican..

...has filled your sails.

You must've found what
you sought in Pope's lands.

As long as my ship is intact..

...i can face my sails
to any wind, Yorgo.

I hope that wind does not sink
us in the future, your majesty.

So you're back from the home
of wicked treachery, Komnenos.

If he's back, where
is our deli shahzade?

I am the daughter of
the emperor of Pontus.

And you are the son of
the Sultan of Ottoman.

Besides, our fathers
are mortal enemies.

You are more
than my heart, Julia.

The strong beauty enemy lands.

Even this enmity
will not be enough..

...to separate us.

You cannot escape your destiny.

This is destiny.

Leaving the palace of the Greek and
being Haseki at the palace of Ottoman.

My shahzade.

What is it, Lala?

Did Komnenos come
back to the port?

He did, that infidel.

I mean..

There will be a lot of
guards, my shahzade.

That is why, we need to leave
Pontus before we get noticed.

Alright, Pasha.

Be careful, Bayezid.

And I shall go to the palace
before my infidel father does.

I will be back, Julia.

As you've commanded, my
Hunkar, the envoy that will go to..

Isfendiyaroglu Kasim Bey,
has departed from the capital..

...before dawn.

Alright.

Kasim Bey will not
reject our offer, Pasha.

As he knows that if he
agrees on the alliance..

...forged by marriage, if
he opens his ports during..

...our Pontus conquest, if he
brings strength to our army..

...he will get his share
from the conquest.

From the information we've received,
Komnenos has the same idea, my Hunkar.

He was planning to wed his
daughter to gain allies against us.

With who?

With Karamanogullari, my Hunkar.

He will wed his daughter to the
son of Ibrahim Bey, Suleyman.

Those Karamanogullari,
who plans mischief..

...beneath fellowship.

It seems we will wrestle
under same conditions.

Komnenos.

Then, here is the field, Pasha.

That spy..

...my Bayezid brought
from Pontus was telling him..

...every secret he knows.

However, it seems he did
not know about the wedding.

It seems so, my Hunkar.

My shahzade.

What is it, Lala?

You seem to have trouble
since we left Pontus.

No, my shahzade.
I have no troubles.

However, I just wonder that
is there any reason that we..

...enter Pontus at midnight
other than getting information?

What are you implying, Lala?

Ask directly.

Princess Julia.

Is she more than a spy?

For you, I mean.

I always take good
care of my spies, Lala.

That is why we've been
traveling to Pontus for a while.

Of course.

My shahzade.

Everything she says
turns out to be true.

I have no word for that.

It is one thing that she gives
information, and another that losing..

What, Lala?

Losing your heart to
a Princess of Pontus..

...and sneaking in infidel soil
at midnight, my shahzade.

This will not end well.

If our Sultan hears it, may Allah protect,
you will fall from our Sultan's grace.

Come on, Lala.

Or you will answer to my
mother as to why I'm late.

Of course.

As if the father wasn't enough,
now we're dealing with the son.

Now, it is time to deal with
the troubles of deli shahzade.

Ishak.

Pity you, Ishak.

Take this fire out!

Empire of Pontus

father?

You have no idea how
much I've missed you.

Is that why you do not
greet me at the gates..

...but greet me in
my hall after me?

I was waiting for
you at the docks.

But we were late.

Have a seat, dear.

Accompany your father.

Because, I fear that this
longing will go on for years.

I don't understand
what you mean _

Even though parting with
you pains me, it is time.

You've grown up.

Soon, you will wed the
Suleyman, son of Ibrahim Bey..

...the Sultan of Karamanogullari.

But, father!

With this wedding, you
will start your own family..

...and provide great
service to your empire, Julia.

The alliance we will form
with Karamanogullarl..

...will make us strong
against Ottomans.

Pontus will not only
be saved thanks to you.

East Rome will also
be reborn from its ashes.

Don't cry.

Don't cry, dear.

You will often visit Pontus
with your new husband..

...and my new ally, Suleyman.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Soon, when our daughter joins..

...our feast will
be more plentiful.

Not only our feast, mother.

When we ally with Pontus,
our lands will also expand.

It will befit the Karamanogullari,
the successor of Seljuks.

We will rule all of Anatolia.

While trying to get rich,
we can stay empty like this plate.

While trying to gain more lands,
we can lose everything we have.

Where did those bad words come from
while we were talking about the good?

Mehmed is planning to have a campaign on Pontus.

And we make friends with his enemies.

If his swords turn against us,

...the bad words may come true.

If we are afraid of Ottomans,
how can we even reach our high goals?

Watch your words!

Too much bravery can throw a man off the cliff!

And bravery not shown in time
can destroy a man.

If they say Sultan Ibrahim make friends
with his son-in-law Mehmed's enemies,

...and if that causes a w*r,

...our reputation will be destroyed then.

Do we have to take permission from Mehmed for new
marriages
just because Mehmed married our daughter?

Did we gain this power thanks to
being the friend of Ottomans?

Did we grow bigger thanks to Ottomans?

If we like to grow much bigger,

...we will grow despite the Ottomans
if we have to.

We should arrange a convoy and
bring Princess Julia from Pontus.

Both the allies and enemies should see
the power and bravery of Karamanogullari.

No way.

Tell them to send her with her dowry.

-But..
-Enough


the great Karamanogullari cannot
even bring their own bride?

We shouldn't violate the traditions.

The son of great Karamanogullari is marrying their girl
and will let her join the dynasty.

We won't go there together.

If you want to show the greatness of Karamanogullari,
we will do it this way.

No need for more.

Your majesty.

As you ordered, I tracked down the spy
leaking information from the palace for Ottomans.

-I wish there were another way to say this.
-Cut it short, Yorgo.

Who is the traitor who I will k*ll myself?

Tell me.

The spy is your beloved daughter Princess Julia.

What?

Are you hearing yourself?

If this information is wrong, Yorgo...

...I won't only k*ll you...

Please let me, sir.

Let her in.

The person who gave me the information
is your daughter's nanny, your majesty.

Is what Yorgo said true?

The spy leaking information for Ottomans
is my daughter Julia?

Yes, your majesty.

Princess is in a relationship with shahzade Bayezid.
I tried to stop her but I couldn't.

Actually, we couldn't come to welcome you
because we were with him.

Yorgo, bring Pedri.

Now!

They are together, you know.

What's going on?

Come with us.

Come here! Shut up and move!

Come on!

Come on, get up!

Come on!

-Why did you do it?
-I needed it.

If we hadn't taken it,
you would have taken it all.

And we would be empty-handed again.

Life...

...and death.

Close to each other like
two sides of a medallion.

I won't join your filthy game.

Game?

-You re lucky.
-Please, Pedri. Forgive me.

Death.

When you run out of luck,
your death comes.

Have fun!

If it's a snake bite, keep going ahead.
You can find the cure in the madrasah.

See you.

La Ilahe Illallah!

I said if it's a snake bite, you can find
the cure in the madrasah.

What snake?

We are coming from Constantinople.

Constantinople?

And you found this house
to be a guest?

You will be the guest. Not us.

We're here to take you to Constantinople
with Sultan Mehmed's orders.

Aren't you Lutfi?

Deli Lutfi.

Well...

Did you even get prepared for this?

They call me mad because of
my fondness of science.

I mean... I'm not mad enough to believe you.

What could the great sovereign
have to do with me?

Go, make fun of someone else.

You'll see what he has to do with you
when you go.

Pack your things now.

A good sovereign goes consult a scholar.

A bad scholar goes to sovereign to give counseling.

If the sovereign's business is so urgent,
he should come here to consult Lutfi.

I told you, captain.

Such a wise man shall
never be found in Tokat.

Look! The city of Tokat is
home to scholars.

This is Aramaic language.

Aramaic. Nice.
You know how to read.

What is behind this?
Are you treasure-seekers? Tell me the truth.

I said it is Sultan's order.

Don't you hear?

If it's a Sultan's order,
I won't leave Tokat.

-I would give you a good beating, but..
-What did he say?

I won't leave Tokat's kebab, geese lake and people.

I'm called mad.
But no reasonable men would leave Tokat.

My Allah, give me patience.

In my hometown, in Walachia,
there is a famous story.

One day, two man walk on a road.

One of them is wise and
the other one is lucky.

They get tired.

The lucky one lies down
in the middle of the road.

The wise one thinks a carriage may run over him.

And he lies on the roadside.

It gets late and dark comes.
Ominous dark.

A carriage that is in a hurry obviously...

...sees the lucky one and says 'oh no.'

'there is a man in the way.
I shouldn't run over him.'

and he turns left.

When he turns left, he runs over the wise one.

And the lucky one stays safe.

Which one are you, mad man?

The wise one?

Or the lucky one?

Eyvallah.

Yes, my shahzade, it is time
for the most difficult lesson.

Our subject is
the order of the state.

The state exists
on two foundations.

There are two important
reasons for its existence.

One of them is bread.

Blessed bread.

The other is the
sword, my shahzade.

Brave companion.

Now I have a question
for you, my shahzade.

Tell me.

The state exists with
bread and the sword...

...but which
one keeps it standing and protects it?

With bread or with the sword?

The sword protects it, Lala.

Once the
sword is dull, the future gets darker.

You are wrong, my shahzade.

A strong sword
defeats the enemy.

But it also
falls from the hands of hungry soldiers.

Order exists with
bread and the sword.

But it is protected and
strengthened by bread.

Bread keeps the body
holding the sword alive.

So does the sword
have no importance, Lala?

I would never say that... that would insult
our ghazis who did everything for jihad.

If the state stands with bread, what is
the sword for?

The sword
is for distributing bread with justice.

It scares those who want to steal the
bread and protects order for the bread.

Is that understood?

Remember, my shahzade.

The one who shares and distributes bread
with justice...

...becomes a
Bey, a Khan, a Sultan.

Excellent.

Nanny.

Julia.

My beautiful
girl, do not do this.

I cannot live without Bayezid, nanny.
I cannot breathe.

-If I have to marry someone else, I will...
-Do not continue that sentence.

Julia, do not, my daughter.

-But I...
-I told you.

I warned you many times.

I said you cannot
have a future with your father's enemies.

You did not listen to me.

I will have a future with him.

Did you send the letter
I gave you to am as ya?

So you are the man who is called mad,
but is an ocean in the world of knowledge.

Astaghfirullah my Hunkar.

Why?

The man who
called you mad is here, in my presence.

So what are you saying?

Did Hizir Celebi lie to me?

Astaghfirullah.

I would never say that...

My words
are not about madness, my Hunkar.

I have madness
in my soul for sure.

But being
an ocean in the field of knowledge...

Qadi
Efendi was being kind, my Hunkar.

Good.

Vlad, Bahadir.

You brought Molla
Lutfi just in time.

Thank you.

Now...

This is the
reason why I asked you to Payitaht.

This paper.

Stop. What are you doing?

They will stab you now. What are you doing?

Tell me, what do you see when you
look at this paper?

My eyes say they see
nothing, my Hunkar.

But my mind...

Here it is.

Do not burn the paper!

My mind says that behind everything
invisible, there is surely a truth, my Hunkar.

You are right. It is
written in Aramaic.

But it is written
with a secret way.

I need to work on it.

Good.

Have it completed
as soon as possible.

As you order.

Go!

Do not turn your back.

Step back. Back. Back...

Back... back... back...

Step back... back.

Now get lost.

Come in!

My shahzade, your mother
Gulbahar Hatun is here.

She wishes to see you.

Let her in.

Mother.

My dear son.

The light of my eye.

My Valiant shahzade.

Mother.

Welcome.

Here.

What is it, mother?

What are you so happy about?

You know how I tell you every time
that you've grown?

It is time, as I told you.

And I keep tell in you
that there's still time.

It is time for me to
have experience in sanjak.

Stop with the marriage talk.

Alright then, my Bayezid.

You can now say those words
to your father Sultan.

Our Sultan command now.

He thought of a
great fit for you.

He wishes for your marriage.

He points to
Ispendiyaroglu Kasim Bey's daughter.

We will first go to the capital
and then to land of Ispendiyar.

In Pontus.

Lutfi, thank you for the grace.
In Pontus.

When zeal's see and deaf ears hear..

...the mute entrusted ones..

...will be revived from
Pontus monastery.

Are the relics we look for in Pontus?

Is that what it says?

However, there are many
monasteries in Pontus?

Where did this papyrus..

Tell me.

Now, this mute entrusted
ones, my Hunkar..

...are the monks that
orthodox's call ""'the silent".

They are all located
in Sumela monastery.

Sumela.

Where it is in Sumela
monastery, then?

All these riddles not
point those out too?

Yes. I didn't understand
at first too, my Hunkar.

However, this mysterious paper..

...has another piece.

What are you saying?

When we get the
other piece, my Sultan..

...when we combine the two of
them, then it will be apparent..

...where the relics are..

...inside Sumela monastery.

If Komnenos knows
the relics are in Pontus..

.It may be the reason
why he went to the Pope.

Do you think he convinced
the Pope for alliance with this?

The Pope would never provide
support without promises, Pasha.

Now, we have another
reason for a conquest to Pontus.

Quick, send word to Serhads.

Call Mahmut Pasha
and Evrenesoglu here.

While I am this much in
love with you, Bayezid..

...i am like this rock on
this necklace, chained.

It actually belongs in here.

My shahzade, it is from Pontus.

Is it?

Did she hear about
my father's wish?

My father is after forming
a hew alliance, Bayezid.

The price of this alliance is me
marrying to Karamanogullari's son.

The caravan taking me to
my grave will depart today.

Know that I will never love..

...anyone other than you.

Do not let me walk
to my grave, Bayezid.

Do not let them pull me
away from where I belong.

No.

That can't be.

Quick! Prepare my horse!

Where to, my shahzade?

We should've prepared first.

You will not come.

Move, Lala.

I won't, my shahzade.

I won't.

Are you opposing..

...my command?

I only serve Sultan
Mehmed Han's command.

My shahzade, we will
depart to the capital tonight.

You cannot go anywhere else.

Look here, Pasha.
I will crush you.

Move.

Bayezid!

My shahzade.

What did it say in the paper?

Is it coming from Pontus?

Komnenos is giving
Julia away by force.

She is to wed to
Karamanogullari's son.

Still, our Sultan's command..

...is to be followed,
my shahzade.

You cannot leave.

Even if my ancestor Murad
Han wakes up from his grave..

...let alone my father's command, no
one can take me away from this road.

May Allah help me. Don't
do this, my shahzade.

There will be
consequences for this.

You say with your own mouth
that she is to wed to someone else.

If you are scared, don't stand
in front of me, nor at my back.

Pasha.

I will take what is mine.

I will let none have it.

Either I have it, or the ground.

Don't you know that, Lala?

I do.

My shahzade.

However, my fear is that, while
we are preparing for Pontus..

...having Karamanogullari
as enemies..

...will put the state
in a troubled situation.

The prosperity of the state is more
important than you and your love.

My shahzade.

How can a soldier who
does not protect his love..

...can protect his state, Lala?

Your majesty.

Her nanny has sent Princess'
letter to shahzade Bayezid.

And I think Bayezid won't leave your
daughter's cry for help unanswered.

He'll definitely confront them.

And when he comes, Yorgo, he'll
face my most deadly weapon Pedri.

Don't worry, your majesty.

Bayezid will regret that he
got close to Princess Julia.

He'll face the sufferings that
he has never experienced.

Don't worry.

Is Julia's convoy
ready to leave?

Yes, your majesty.

Then it's time to say goodbye
to my daughter, my only one.

Attention!

Mighty Sultan Mehmed Khan!

My Hunkar.

All the cannons are
ready, alhamdulillah.

Good.

Since you pointed out to Pontus,
we have kept producing Cannon ba*ls.

Good.

Nice words, Pasha. But how can we
carry those heavy cannons to Pontus?

Let me explain, my shahzade.

We will either make horses pull
the cannons with the help of wheels.

...or the drag Cannon
shafts with sledges.

That works when it's a
short distance in a plain field.

What if our Sultan wants to march towards
Pontus through the narrow ways in the mountains?

My shahzade, the last man who made his army move
through
those mountains was Alexander, the King of Macedonia.

And there were no
cannons at that time.

If our might sovereign wants to march
towards Pontus through the mountains,

...then we will need to
transport the cannons by the sea.

We'll send them
all by the sea then.

What if they attack the boats?

What will our army without cannons do
in front of the Pontus walls then, Saruca?

Light or heavy...

All the cannons will be
moved through the mountains.

To lift the cannons,
we need to strong reels.

As my Hunkar orders.

Satilmis Agha.

You'll examine the
landscapes on the route.

As my Hunkar orders.

From which spots we
should lift our cannons.

From which spots we
will take them back down.

Where and how much
equipment we need.

You'll explain these
to Saruca Pasha.

As you order, my Hunkar.

Attention!

What's the matter, Julia?

My father will never
forgive me, nanny.

Let's not keep the
emperor waiting.

Today, Pedri will stick the
dagger into the future of Ottomans.

Why do you look so pale?

You aren't angry with
your father, are you?

No.

Just going to Karaman,
so far away from you...

Do you remember?

My mother's necklace.

When I was a little kid, she
gave it to me before she died.

Now I don't know the
place where I am going to.

What if I can't see you again?

You keep it.

Don't say such things, dear.

One day, we will come together.

You also put the
silk from Bursa, right?

We put five of them, my Sultan.

Good, you did well.

Put the best of everything, make
sure we have more than enough.

Remember, this is not just a gift, it is the honor
of the Osmanoglu and also Sultan Mehmed Khan.

Come on. Come on.

Daye.

I also told you to get the embroidered
Turk men clothes. They are not here.

My Sultan..

Do not waste time with
explanations. We will set out.

My Sultan, our
shahzade is not here.

He must be busy with preparations.
Bring me the clothes I mentioned.

Our shahzade is not in the sanjak
either. No one knows where he is.

Forgive me my Sultan.

Stop what you are
doing and leave.

Send scouts now.

When the caravan
approaches, they will inform us.

As you order, my shahzade.

My shahzade, we came here without
our Hunkar's permission. I am afraid..

I have nothing to do
with men who are afraid.

If you want, leave.

Brothers!

Looking is not
enough, companions!

Janissaries must
know how to see!

The sword must feel
light on your strong wrist!

You must sense not only
your enemy but yourself first!

Come on, valiants! Come on!

Attention!

The great Sultan, the glorious Victor, the
conqueror, Sultan Mehmed Khan Hadhrat!

My Hunkar.. My
shahzade... welcome.

Thank you Dogan Agha.

I have things to
talk to you about.

Our soup is ready, my Hunkar.

Come, let's go to the Agha room.

Wait for me, Mustafa.

As you order, my Hunkar.

Come with us, my shahzade.
Let's serve you our soup.

Thank you.

I will drink from the
same bowl with the Aghas.

Let's eat, Aghas.

Bismillahirrahmanirahim.

Our soup is always fresh.

You know, my Hunkar.

Allow me, my Hunkar.

Stop there, Yusuf.

I am in the safest place.

I am with my companions, the men who have different
mothers and fathers but who are my brothers in heart.

Thank you, my Hunkar.

Come on. Bismillah.

Bismillah.

How are my Janissaries?

They are strong and
untroubled, my Hunkar.

Good.

My Hunkar, forgive me...

But...

We heard about our
shahzade's marriage.

May Allah bless their marriage.

Are you curious about Bayezid's marriage or do
you wonder if the marriage will lead to a w*r?

You know our name is Kurtcu.

My Hunkar, I would
not say no to that.

Tell me, are the
Janissaries ready for a w*r?

Thanks to Allah, we treated our wounds which
we took in Belgrade because of Zaganos Pasha...

-Thanks to you...
-I am asking about the condition of the Janissaries,
Dogan Agha.

Do not tell me
history like a mudarris.

As you commanded, marching
exercises are increased.

Some Janissaries were sent for
climbing exercises on rough fields.

From now on, we will make sure we have a strict
and courageous order for the battle march.

I do not understand, my Hunkar.

But how...

Drink your soup.
Do not let it get cold.

Now. Listen to me carefully.

The soup is very tasty, Aghas.

Yes my shahzade.

Soup is not only food, it is
a code for the Janissaries.

This boiler, entrusted to us by Haci Bektas hi
Veli, is the heart of our guild, my shahzade.

The meal we take from one boiler is our oath of
tradition, order, and brotherhood, my shahzade.

If a soldier forgets this, then he
loses his share of soup, my shahzade.

I mean, he is thrown
out of the guild.

Don't, my Agha!

You will pay for this!

My Agha.. Don't!

You stole it!

It was not someone
else! You did it!

Please, my Agha!

If you allow me, my shahzade...

You did it... -Sure.

I didn't do it!

Please my Agha!

Don't, please!

What is happening here? Tell me.

I noticed the kitchen's flour
has decreased, my Agha.

Half a sack of flour was
hidden under his bed.

This traitor was
selling it to the bakers.

My Agha... my Agha, I
swear, I did not steal it.

You'!

Come here!

His hands and nails
are covered in flour.

He is the thief!

You traitor...

Forgive me, my shahzade..

I made a mistake, forgive me!

There is no place in this guild for the greedy
or the one whose hand reaches for forbidden!

Throw him out immediately!

May Allah bless
you, my shahzade.

May Allah always
keep you with us.

Mashaallah to him.

Attention!

No one is coming, my shahzade.

They will come.

They will be here soon.

As I said, Julia
will not get hurt.

Everyone must be careful.

They are coming,
my shahzade.

Get ready.

Your majesty.

Your majesty.

Are you alright?

Yorgo.

Come, sit.

Your majesty...

When you could have k*lled
your enemy's son Bayezid...

...why did you pay this
price with your own blood?

Because, Yorgo...

Bayezid's death would
not separate Turks.

On the contrary, they
would unite against us.

But learning that Julia, my daughter,
who went as a bride to their brave son...

...died because of Bayezid
would make the Turks...

...turn against each other in a
way they could never unite again.

Trap!

It's a trap!

Protect the Princess!

Come on, my lions!

Do not let me down!

I will conquer Pontus
one way or another.

The whole world
knows this, not just me.

If you do not want to destroy the
Bridges built by our kinship and blood...

...do not stand in my way.

Because the fate of the pebble
stone that stands in my path is certain.

To be destroyed.

Your brother in religion and
blood, Sultan Mehmed Khan.

Mahmud Pasha. Send this to Karamanoglu
Ibrahim Bey with a reliable sergeant.

Are we going to stop Ibrahim Bey
from forming a kinship with Pontus?

We are not against them forming a
kinship with the emperor of Pontus.

But if they try to use
this kinship against us...

...we will do what is necessary.

They must not make the mistake they
once did by taking advantage of our mercy.

If all Turks and the Islamic world
unite, we can stand against all of them.

And this world has
enough place for all of us.

Let them know this.

As our glorious Hunkar orders.

Good.

You may leave, Pasha.

You called me, my Agha?

Are you this loyal..

...in every command, Zeynel Agha?

Do you act alone,
is what I am asking.

Of course not, my Agha.

Our stance is what
Haci Bektas tradition is.

Did you also do the same
near shahzade Mustafa?

You seemed very caring.

Shahzade Mustafa
knows the way of the guild.

I wished that he saw
gratitude, as he deserved it.

I haven't seen you show the same
decency to shahzade Bayezid too?

What was his great doing?

Tell me.

Talking of janissary is
not to the age or the Usher.

It is to the heart, Agha.

A Valiant lion lies withing
shahzade Mustafa's heart.

And a lion befits to
the throne of Ottoman.

The lion is sentenced
by another lion.

The crane has no words in it.

Did Bayezid give up his turn?
Why are you close to Mustafa?

Agha, has victorious Mehmed Khan
died that you are turning to Bayezid?

Is that why you don't let
anyone speak about him?

Do not speak to me as if you
do not know me, Zeynel Agha.

Choosing shahzade
is not up to us.

We know that you root for
shahzade Bayezid, Agha.

However, do not forget.

A heart is not something you
can hold like a shield in the battle.

It is not a spear to throw.

No one can rule the heart.

It is apparent that Janissaries
root for shahzade Mustafa.

It is plain truth.

Agha.

I do not know about
that, Zeynel Agha.

I do not want politics
inside the guild.

I do not want a w*r
other than conquest.

I'm warning you here.

Do not test my patience.

Hold on. Wait.

You will not k*ll the shahzade.

However, k*ll everyone
other than him.

Are you alright, my Valiant?

Thanks to you, my shahzade!

Bayezid!

Julia!

Princess!

Princess, get inside!

Bayezid!

Archers.

Julia!

Bayezid!

Get inside!

Let me go!

-Bayezid!
-Julia get inside!

Where did they come from?

They must've set the real trap
knowing you would come, my shahzade.

We need to leave!

Together.

Attack.

So you are the Bayezid,
the shahzade of Ottomans.

Rig ht?

And you are the
Komnenos' dog, Pedri.

Right?

I would've loved
to have your head.

However, it won't
be enough for me.

I will do much more to you.

-Who are you?
-Get down!

I told you to let go!

Let go!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Bayezid!

-Julia!
-Bayezid, are you alright?

Julia! Julia!

Julia! -Let go!

Come in.

Any news, Daye?

Where is he? Is
my Valiant alright?

No news yet, my Sultan.

I've brought you some food.

Let go of Julia..

...and face me like a man!

They say one can do everything
for their loved one, my shahzade.

Is that true?

You might even die
here if I wanted to.

I will k*ll you myself, dastard!

Don't.

It's me who you want.

Let Julia go.

You will be the next,
shahzade. Don't worry.

But I want you to see
something else before you die.

And I'm honored to
present this to you.

Julia!

Julia! Julia!

Julia!

k*ll him.

Julia. Julia...

My shahzade.

What have you done?

What have you done, my shahzade?

Speak, Pedri.

What was my
daughter's last word?

Don't ask me questions whose answers
you wouldn't want to hear, emperor.

What about her body?

Didn't you bring the body?

Her body?

Her lifeless body
was useless, emperor.

I left it to Bayezid.

But if you want so much,
her blood is still in my hands.

A part of me has passed away.

Don't worry, emperor.

Ancient gods are generous.

Thanks to your sacrifice, Turks
will turn against each other.

While Ottomans and
Karamanogullari fight,

...Rome will revive
again in your hands.

Then this is my vow, Pedri.

Just like I sacrificed today...

When Rome revives, when the great day
arrives, I will sacrifice all my enemies!

Ayvaz Bey, messenger of
Karamanoglu Ibrahim Bey!

Hey.

We never put down
the heads of Muslims.

Come closer.

I've come to the land of Ottomans in
the name of great Sultan Ibrahim Khan,

...the carrier of
power and strength,

...the chief of Turk men
and the heir of Seljuks.

And I will say his words
on the soil of Karaman.

You know what happened, Mehmed.

Your son Bayezid attacked a convoy like a
bandit and k*lled the bride coming to Karaman.

He embarrassed
us against Pontus.

Now there is feud between us.

You will either give Bayezid to me
or pay taxes, ask for forgiveness...

...and accept the superiority of
Ibrahim Khan, Sultan of Karaman.

Make your choice, Mehmed.

Your son or your state?
