03x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

You'll either give Bayezid to
us or pay taxes, beg pardon...

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

Make your choice, Mehmed.

Your son or your country?

What if I don't give up either?

Then my duty is to tell you
what will happen to you...

...and all the
Ottomans one by one.

You fool! Who do
you think you are?

If you weren't a messenger here,
these words would cost you a life.

But today, I won't
k*ll a brother.

With the offense your shahzade Bayezid
committed, the brother ended, Sultan Mehmed.

If you don't deliver his
head to us, shed my blood.

Because I can't go back to
my Sultan with empty hands.

Bayezid is on his
way to the capital city.

First, I'll hear him and
then give my decision.

Sultan...

Now that the brotherhood has ended, you are
a guest just because you are a messenger.

Don't make me teach how a
guest should respect the host.

You did your part as
a loyal weapon, Pedri.

Now I it's Karamanoglu
Ibrahim's turn.

According to my experience with Turks, Sultan Ibrahim
must have turned Julia's death into a point of honor...

...and sent his messenger
to Constantinople by now.

You know Turks, your majesty.

They will demand
blood for blood.

I know Mehmed very well too.

He won't deliver his shahzade.

It means the w*r
is really soon, Pedri.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to
wash my sword with their blood.

While Turks k*ll each other,
we will have greater duties.

I'm sorry to say this, your
majesty. But I don't agree with you.

What do you think
will happen in Anatolia?

The stone you moved by
sacrificing your own blood...

...has give some space to Karamanids
nursing a grudge against Ottomans.

But I think Sultan Mehmed
will act cautiously, your majesty.

I mean he will avoid
shedding the blood of Muslims.

What about Karamanoglu Ibrahim?
You think he won't demand a price?

You think he won't set his
eyes on Mehmed's land??

My Hunkar, shahzade Bayezid
wouldn't k*ll someone unfairly.

Especially if it is a woman.

Why would there be
smoke without fire?

Do you believe them, my Hunkar?

This is not about
believing, Sehabettin.

How could Bayezid get his name
involved in such a terrible incident?

How could he cause a messenger to
come here and make me talk to them?

If you think it didn't happen,

...we should send
the messenger back.

That would be a diplomatic
response, my Hunkar.

The best thing to do is
waiting for shahzade Bayezid.

Responding without asking him about
the truth would damage the justice.

Does grand vizier Pasha doubt
that shahzade committed the offense?

It's possible that Pontus
are behind this setup.

Do you think there
is another fact?

My Sultan, settling this matter too fast
would do nothing but driving Karamanids mad.

You once sent an edict to Karamanids
that Turks should never k*ll each other.

What Pasha said would do nothing
but turning Turks against each other.

What should we do then, Pasha?

What should we do
then, grand vizier Pasha?

Should our Sultan k*ll our shahzade while
we try to make Turks not k*ll each other?

The state should prevail forever so this matter
shouldn't be studied through individuals.

It should be investigated and
the offender will be found out.

And when it's time to decide, the
best for the country should be done.

Grand vizier Pasha cares
about the others, my Hunkar.

But as you know, the
state should have justice.

Are there any
rebelling statesmen?

What do you think, Sehabettin?

Not the statesmen, my Hunkar.

Janissaries.

As you know, some Janissaries
support shahzade Bayezid.

If our shahzade is harmed due to
this incident and Janissaries rebel,

...what will happen then?

Deceased Murad Hudavendigar Khan established the
hearth with the law 'the hearth exists for the state'.

If the hearth forgets the law, the
state should remind them, my Sultan.

The weather is so foggy...

...that there is lie in truth
and treason in innocence.

And distinguishing them is only
possible with the sword of justice.

When shahzade Bayezid arrives,

when he arrives,

...we'll see whether the enemy or
my son will taste the sword of justice.

Well... what was his Lala Ishak
Pasha doing while it was happening?

That's another question.

You're right, my Hunkar.

-My Hunkar.
-My Hunkar.

Don't, my shahzade.

This will end up terribly.

Don't disobey Sultan's orders.

What do you mean, Lala?

My shahzade, I believe you.

-I know there is something wrong, but...
-But what, Lala?

Do you doubt me?

Estaghfirullah, my
shahzade. But...

This man is just your servant.

Don't be mad, Bayezid.

Anger will blind your mind.

Sultan needs to be convinced
about your innocence.

For this reason, leave
your weapons and give up.

Ottomans has clear laws.

We should leave immediately
and go to the capital city.

Don't you know the wrath of Ottomans
whose law you know very well?

That demon...

...slaughtered my
beloved in front of my eyes.

I'm not going anywhere
before I take revenge.

I won't find peace before
the heathen called Pedri dies.

You're still wearing
the black scarf.

It is not like you took
revenge to restore our honor.

Don't get mad now.

This is a state business.

The state business
is done with greatness.

It is done with might.

Not just standing
around like this.

Hatun, watch your mouth
and know your place.

And you know your state.

Know your might, Ibrahim Bey!

If I didn't convince
you back then..

...you wouldn't face
against Murad as well.

Now, the shahzade of Ottomans..

...has hurt your bride.

He has destroyed our reputation!

Isn't it enough that you've
already become this small?

Why is the drums of
w*r still stay silent?!

Why does the banners
of w*r still not rise?!

Do you think w*r is
like a wedding, Hatun?

Especially in these times
where tension is high?

So long as your sword shines, all
darkness will unveil, Ibrahim Bey.

Why are you staying silent?

Why are you not shouting?

If you led your armies..

...and put a banner of w*r, Pontus
and others would come to our aid.

Why are you staying idle?!

We've sent a messenger
to Sultan Mehmed.

We're waiting for his
arrival, don't you know?

What can the messenger
possibly bring me?

The life of my bride?

The freedom of my son?

Or the reputation we've lost?

He will bring the justice.

Now, justice lies
within our swords.

Understand that well.

Understand what you are doing.

This is not a matter of joke.

Either you take Bayezid's head..

...or Mehmed will
take your state.

That Mehmed.. We
couldn't find peace, since..

...we sent our
daughter Gulsah to him.

My Sultan.

What is it?

Our Hunkar will come to dinner..

...why are you walking around?

I brought news
regarding that, my Sultan.

Our Hunkar will not be
coming to the dinner today.

Is it..

...because of the messenger
that my father sent?

Is my Hunkar putting distance
between him and me because of this?

Do not be sorrowful, my Sultan.

No matter what happens
between Karamanoglu..

...our Sultan won't
face away from you.

It seems, this change is
about our shahzade Bayezid.

What is this have
to do with Bayezid?

He has disobeyed.

They say he committed
acts that may lead to a revolt.

That is why our
Hunkar is in sorrow.

May Allah help them.

If Bayezid stumbles,
my Mustafa will rise.

Forgive me, my Sultan
I couldn't understand.

Clean this up.

Don't be so curious
about everything!

Some are none of
your business! Come on!

La ilahe illallah.

Mashallah.

Many unknowns lie right here.

Sultan Mehmed Han has
fit the whole world in here!

I wonder what other
conquering ambitions he has!

You will get to know him.

There are many states lie
deep inside Mehmed's heart.

Lutfi..

Still, being a pilgrim of
books sounds better to me..

...then being the conqueror
of the world, hace.

I've left Tokat, but you opened
such doors for me that, it was worth it.

-Let me kiss your holy hand..
-Astaghfirullah!

No student of mine
shall kiss my hand!

Don't do anything rash here.

Our Sultan himself
has allowed this.

You can work in this library..

...until holy relics
matter is solved.

Look here!

I am your guarantor.

Don't embarrass me.

Don't worry, hace.

Now I need Rabbula gospels.

Do you have it here?

You are here to find
what is searched.

Farewell.

Eyvallah hace.

Wisdom is calling you.

The mind is raising its voice.

Allah Allah.

Traveling with him is
making me hear his voice.

Advice and sound judgment
are unique only to me.

Tawbah Tawbah, I
keep hearing him.

I like those who like me.

Whoever seeks me with
effort will find me in the end.

Where did you come
from like a ghoul?

I've found it, instead of you.

Is this how you thank me, Molla?

Here.

If I sought a pupil, I couldn't
find better than you, Voivode.

And you're not even aware
that you've found a master.

Here now.

Now it makes sense.

So you're a master
at finding masters.

It seems so as the grand
Sultan has sent you..

...to call for me.

Maybe he thought that you can't
find your way in secrets alone.

You only know the
secrets, as secrets.

And I am searching in the
ocean behind that single word.

Know that well.

To surface Jesus Christ's icon
from the bottom of that ocean?

How do you know that?

Just learned from you.

-Look here.
-Rabbula gospel is the first..

...miniature one,
the source of icons.

What good will it other than to
look for Jesus Christ's lost icon?

If I would ever need a pupil, I
can't find anyone better than you.

May you find what
you're looking for.

Farewell..

Eyvallah.

Deli Lutfi.

And don't burn down the library.

He even says eyvallah.

Speaking the name
of Allah without shame.

Did the information
reach Karatugs, Ali Bey?

As you ordered, I sent news by assigning
Bali Bey, Shamil Bey, and Akinji Mustafa.

Excellent. How many
of them will come here?

Five special Akinjis will come.

But I have a
concern, my Hunkar..

Tell me, all Bey.

We choose the Karatugs
from all Akinji guilds...

...with special tests
for tough duties.

Their number is always 99.

So?

They are our eyes in the
infidel lands of Europe...

...our hands reaching to
the towers of the infidels.

The Venetians will
cause problems.

The Hungarian land is in chaos.

Beyond Slavic lands, there
are disobedient German rulers.

I wonder if we should give this
duty to another ordinary unit?

Of course not.

The duty we will give to
the Karatugs is a secret duty.

It is such a secret that
when the knots are solved...

...and we have the knowledge,
all the infidels will be cornered.

Not only Hungary,
Venice, and Germans.

All Europe will kneel before us.

The duty is in Pontus.

But the end of the rope is
in the hands of the Pope.

When we succeed, its echo
will be heard in Vatican as well.

In short, Ali Bey,
this is a difficult duty.

Tell me who you chose.

The first one is in
the Hungarian land.

He has been working
in a church for years.

Everyone thinks
he is a bell ringer.

But he is actually
Kanturali from Karatugs.

The second one is
from the German land.

An Akinji who gathers intelligence
by walking street by street.

Everyone thinks
he is just a musician.

But he is Korkut from Karatugs.

Our third man is in
the land of the Franks.

A warrior.

A fist wrestler.

No one can know how
merciless he can be.

Come on! Come on!

k*ll him! Come on!

Come on! k*ll him!

k*ll him!

That's it!

That's it!

Salur from Karatugs.

The fourth Valiant
works in the Serbian land.

Everyone thinks he
is a talented cook.

But he is not only talented in cutting
meat, but also in cutting enemies.

He is Bogac from Karatugs.

In every five-man cell of the Karatugs,
there is always a doctor, my Sultan.

Our last Akinji works
in the Polish land.

A doctor who can even enter
the castles of the Polish rulers.

Basat from Karatugs.

He received your
blessed call as well.

Soon...

...all the Karatugs will arrive in Payitaht
to carry out the secret mission, my Hunkar.

Wolves sneaked in the herd.

Those why try
wearing a fur will regret.

As you ordered, I informed your shahzade
Bayezid of the situation, my Sultan.

But...

Shahzade Bayezid disobeyed your order,
stood against me and left the sanjak.

We are looking for our shahzade
around the sanjak and nearby villages.

When we find him...

...if he surrenders and wants
to face your great justice...

I will bring him
alive to Payitaht.

But if he...

...chooses to continue being a rebellious
shahzade instead of surrendering...

...then the same thing
we do to rebellious ones...

...will be done to him.

One of your eyes looks like Sultan
Mehmed, the other looks like father Mehmed.

Are you thinking about which one
you will act like towards Bayezid?

What would you do?

I don't have a son.

I don't have a child.

But I have a brother I love
more than my life. Mehmed.

I would want him to do the
thing that would make him glad.

Because my brother Mehmed...

He has big dreams.

There are secrets...

...that he needs to know.

And he wants to rule all Christians
by learning all these secrets.

In short, he has big dreams.

How do you know
those secrets exist?

The letter I took to deli
Lutfi was written in Aramaic.

Jesus Christ spoke Aramaic.

But even the Pope was not
as excited about this as you.

Mehmed...

You treated all non-Muslims with
justice and tolerance in your state.

I think you can understand
my sincere religious feelings.

Right...

Sometimes I forget that
you are a Christian Voivode.

A secret that would affect all
Christians would also excite me.

Mehmed...

If knowing this secret would
affect the whole Christian world...

...I would be proud.

Because your brotherhood is much
more important to me than being a Voivode.

Eyvallah.

May it be good inshaallah.

What happened Mahmud Pasha?

Evrenesoglu?

Shahzade Bayezid.

Attention!

Mehmed Khan the conqueror!

My Sultan. Will we make
a decision about Pontus...

This is not a w*r council.

This is a
Meshveret[Consultancy] Council.

My shahzade Bayezid
disobeyed the order I sent him...

...stood against his Lala
Ishak Pasha, and even...

...left his sanjak.

My Hunkar...

Our shahzade would never
think of standing against you.

Read this!

What if this is not true?

If shahzade
Bayezid chooses to...

...continue being a rebellious
shahzade instead of surrendering...

Louder!

...continue being a rebellious
shahzade instead of surrendering, then...

...the same thing we
do to rebellious ones...

...will be done to him.

Now you tell me.

What is the fate of a
rebellious shahzade?

It's your turn! Speak!

Justice does not distinguish between a
Sultan, a shahzade or servants, my Hunkar.

The fate of the one who
commits this crime is always bad.

The punishment for bad acts
is clear in the customary laws.

Is there anyone who has things
to say against grand vizier Pasha?

It is hard to make a decision before our
shahzade comes here and is tried, my Hunkar.

This is rebellion.
Do we need proof?

Why would we need a trial?

Sometimes what is seen and what is
unseen are completely different, my Hunkar.

There might be good things
behind things that look bad...

...and bad things behind
things that look good.

Sir.

What?

Shahzade Bayezid is after you.

And he promised people that the one who finds
you will be rewarded with chests of gold.

Where is he now?

In the Haldizen mountains.

With Greek bandits loyal to you.

Send news to Komnenos.

Tell Karamanoglus that we caught
Bayezid and that we will give him to them.

Won't we k*ll him, sir?

If Karamanoglus take Bayezid,
they will k*ll him anyway.

Then a w*r will
start between Turks.

Then, the age of
Pontus will start.

We agreed about the gold.

Now bring that demon Pedri here.

Don't worry shahzade Hadhrat.

This is not our first
cooperation with you.

Do not forget how we helped
you about Pontus before.

I don't know about that.

If you want the gold, Pedri
must be here before the sunrise.

We are not doing this for gold.

We are doing this for your friendship
and might, shahzade Hadhrat.

Then don't forget.

Ottomans never forget who
helped them and who betrayed them.

They might give some their
gold, and show some their furor.

Aghas, our mentor
Haci Bektasi Vell..

...has cooked soup with his own
hands at the first day of the guild.

Why are you refraining
from this tradition?

Come on, dig in.

Are you making fun
of us, Zeynel Agha?

The state has lost its balance.

We're in no shape to drink soup.

Word is, our Sultan..

Will hurt our
shahzade Bayezid.

This is not the time, while
the guild is waiting for a w*r.

Hurting the shahzade
is not that easy.

Let us wait and see
what our Hunkar will do.

It is not fitting to show
wrath with only rumors.

The fate of a rebellious
shahzade is certain.

Even if Bayezid goes away,
Mustafa will follow after.

Lions are plenty in the
state of Ottoman, Aghas.

Of course, lions are plenty
in the state of Ottoman.

However, lions are also not
sacrificed to the games of hyenas.

Salamun alaikum, Aghas.

Alaikum salam, Pasha.

What is it?

Is there a w*r?

Is there a disaster?

Or foul things happened to us?

May Allah prevent it.

Then, what are you
doing here at this hour?

I'm here to have a sip of
your Haci Bektasi Veli soup..

...and have a few words.

No.

Our soup is tasteless.

The matter of shahzade Bayezid
has made us lose our hunger.

As you know.

I wanted to have a few
words about this, Aghas.

Did our Sultan
come to a decision?

Will the string be
brought to the square?

Our Sultan is in a difficult position,
between his state and his son.

It is apparent what he will choose,
for the prosperity of the state.

You should know that
now and act accordingly.

These words are not well,
while shahzade Bayezid..

...is still facing
judgement, Pasha.

Everyone is so keen to
throw a stick into this fire.

The cauldron must not boll.

Everyone will carry
their own wood, Agha.

That so?

However..

...if cauldron boils, let those
who stand beneath think, Agha.

Farewell.

Enjoy.

Eyvallah.

Amen.

The eternal protectors of this grand
shrine, and the secrets lie within.

The silent guardians of Sumela.

Do you know what I just
wished from our lord?

To have you help me
against Sultan Mehmed..

...whom caused so much harm to
east Rome and the world of orthodox.

You know what I want from you.

The grand majesty knows that
the council of the silent is sworn.

They won't point out the
holy relics until it is time.

And when will that time come?

When Turks come to our gates?

This monastery is not enough to
protect you, without me and my army!

Where is he going to?!

You cannot scare the silent
with death, your excellency.

How can he leave
my presence like that!

They don't allow the holy
relics to be used for w*r..

...even if it costs
them their lives.

Your excellency.

When Pope's men comes to Pontus,

...neither your secret nor the seal
of your tongues will help you survive.

Your majesty.

It's from commander Pedri.

Sending Bayezid to
Karamanids as a gift, huh?

Good, Pedri.

Thanks to you, we will save
Mehmed from a huge dilemma.

My shahzade.

-Still no news from Pedri.
-Our men got some news.

Very soon, Pedri's blood will be on the
edge of your sword you're sharpening.

Tell them to be faster.

Go ahead.

Pedri hasn't arrived yet.

He will come in a minute.

As soon as he arrives, we
will deliver the shahzade.

If shahzade realizes the
trap, it won't be good for us.

Agop!

Who are they?

Who are they?

We're under attack!

Under attack!

k*ll the shahzade!

Bayezid!

Bayezid!

Ishak!

You have come earlier
than I expected, Sehabettin.

Take a seat.

Are you here for asking
questions or giving advice?

Why are you here?

Let's say I'm here for asking
questions, Mahmud Pasha.

Even a grand vizier should
hear the suffering ones.

Tell me.

Everybody knows what you're doing to
shahzade Bayezid for your own good.

My good is our Sultan's life.

I don't buy it, Mahmud Pasha.

You're sending our shahzade
to death to keep your position.

Do you remember
Belgrade, Sehabettin?

The fire in your eyes
tells that you remember.

Remember Zagnos too.

Or Candarl.

They would show mercy, right?

If they were me right now, they would
calm our Sultan down to dissuade him.

Is that right, Sehabettin?

But I show no mercy.

Shame on you, Mahmud.

Shame.

-You'll make a father k*ll his son.
-Rebelling has a price.

I heard your history.

I know you better than you do.

This isn't like the house of
Candarli you once raided.

And not like the house of
Ishak that you infiltrated into.

Especially not like
the house of Zagnos.

I have what I know.

I also have what you don't know.

If you enter my house without permission
again, I will choke you, Sehabettin.

In the whole world, only Sultan Mehmed
Khan the conqueror has the power to rule!

Now...

Take your sword out.

We're going to the capital city.

I need to talk to my Sultan.

Move aside, Ishak.

Bayezid, don't force me to do
anything that I will regret later.

Attention!

My mother.

I am...

I hope you don't die in
that place you are going, kid.

Because I will be your death.

My Hunkar.

When you did not come to dinner,
my heart was filled with sadness.

Thanks to Allah, you let
us see your blessed face.

Let me wake him up.

There is no need. Let him sleep.

The Padishah of the
world is here to see us.

How can his shahzade sleep?

Our Hunkar is
being merciful but...

...too much mercy brings
betrayal, even if it's our own child.

If you allow me.

My shahzade.

My son...

Come on, wake up.

Look, your father is here.

Wake up, son. Come on.

We still haven't heard from
our messenger, my Sultan father.

Those lawless Osmanoglus
might have k*lled him.

We sent our word.

We should wait for its answer.

We must take precautions.

We must consider every
possibility and plan our battle order.

Shahzade Suleyman is right.

But the Osmanoglu army has spread from the
Rumelia borders into the interior of Anatolia.

Given this situation, the w*r we
will get in must be carefully planned.

Our strongest weapon is our law.

Even if there were a thousand
Osmanoglu, it would defeat them all.

The Osmanoglu gained all its
strength with Turk men support.

But when they got strong, they
forgot the law and turned away.

Will those Turk men beys who
care about the law not stand with us?

The Turk men beys are commanders
who gained many victories.

How can we convince them
to gather under our sanjak?

We will fly our sanjak to save the
honor of our law, my Sultan father.

And no Turk men Bey will hesitate to
k*ll and die to save the honor of our law.

As long as we stay here, the lawless
Osmanoglu will never respect us.

And they will never
secure the justice.

Especially if we
don't take measures.

May Allah forbid, we might see their army
on our borders when we wake up one day.

Only you have the power to gather the scattered
turkmens under your sanjak, my Sultan.

Inform 23 Oghuz beys.

Karamanids have waved
their flags against Ottomans.

Riders and swordsmen
should catch up.

Today is the day of honor.

For their information!

Don't they treat you kindly?

Why do you insist on seeing me?

I heard that shahzade
Bayezid ran away.

Shahzade Bayezid's runaway will
delay his arrival here only a few days.

-And you as a guest...
-I'm not a guest anymore, Sultan Mehmed.

By running away, shahzade Bayezid
confessed that he committed an offense.

Unfortunately, Sultan Ibrahim
demanded justice from you.

Obviously, swords
will provide justice now.

Even if swords are to provide
justice, I'm the one to decide that.

And you should wait until
Bayezid is brought here.

It's all obvious.

There's no need for waiting.

You couldn't even
bring a shahzade here.

So now it's our duty
to find him and judge.

Look.

You entered here with
your Sultan's words.

But you can't leave
without my orders.

For this reason, go
back to your room now.

So you won't taste the sword
of justice before Bayezid does.

My Hunkar, why would shahzade Bayezid
run away while there was a blame on him?

Instead of believing the visible,
we should investigate the invisible.

Messenger has said true words.

Even if shahzade Bayezid is
innocent, running away made him guilty.

We seek to spread
justice in the world.

But our justice is failing.

Bayezid gave this so-called
messenger an opportunity to speak here!

He dishonored my state!

Wherever he is, find and
bring him here immediately!

Dead or alive!

Thanks to Allah, we
launched another ship.

The Quran we traditionally hang
on the mast shall be an armor for us.

In time of a voyage, we shall have
a safe journey with a straight route.

Although my tongue didn't say,
my heart said amen, captain.

After traveling with me, does
the land suffocate you too?

A journey invites me, captain.

A journey which is
as vast as the sea,

...full of secrets which
are as deep as the sea.

The depth of the
sea is full of secrets.

That's right.

There are pearls and
corals inside, but...

...you can't go up from the depth
if you swim in the unknown waters.

That's why I came
to you, captain.

You should guide me in the
sea, which is full of secrets.

The matter of deli Lutfi...
Don't you ever wonder?

I never sail in the
unknown waters.

It's important to us if
it's important to Sultan.

If we need to dive into the sea
for our Sultan, won't we dive?

I would sail for the seven
seas with Sultan's orders.

But without his orders, I
won't sail even in a smooth sea.

Look at the sea.

It's smooth.

It's tempting.

It's inviting.

But it's not a journey to
start only with a desire.

Because there may be
swirls in the unknown waters.

And it pulls you deep down.

Then you sink
and get devastated.

Sticking a dagger into the mast
is a tradition of asking for wind.

Swirl is a trap so the
wind should be helping us.

Mustafa?

Mother.

Come here.

Come, my dear.

Why are you sulking? Why
do you have a sullen face?

They say my brother is coming
to the capital city, mother.

You love and respect your
brother so much, though.

Are you upset for this?

Not because he is coming.

I'm sorry that they're
hiding why he is coming.

Whoever I ask, they don't tell
the truth but turn their eyes away.

Tell me, mother. Is he
coming for a good reason?

Yes, my son.

It's for a good reason.

It's for your good, inshaallah.

You have become our eyes and ears among the
heathens and proved to be useful so far.

Your new duty will be
different and harder.

My Sultan.

It's no problem for us who feel
the blade of death over our heads.

You appointed us to
a sacred duty, anyway.

Hardship shall be a
gift for us in this duty.

There is a hidden
treasure in Pontus.

I want you to locate and bring it to
the capital city as soon as possible.

I was a bell ringer, my Sultan.

I know a lot about the
holy things of heathens.

That will be useful.

But it's a deep secret
that even they are seeking.

We'll feel how the
wind blows there.

We'll find the ones
who know the secret.

We'll become wolves disguising
as sheep and take the secret.

You should disguise as
sheep when you need to.

But you should know this.

You will confront
dogs not sheep!

That means we will need to
hunt a pack of dogs, my Hunkar.

We'll hold our swords and
become hunters when we need to.

Your minds are as
sharp as your swords.

A mind is used to know,
learn and comprehend.

They do all properly.

But an intelligence is needed to make
your minds work better for this duty.

As you know, my Hunkar, only
I can read Aramaic language.

And I can untie
this knot very easily.

Evelallah.

Mahmud Pasha, what do you think?

You spoke truly, my Sultan.

This intelligence should
know beyond the known...

...and see beyond the seen.

He should enlighten the minds.

Bahadir Pasha, speak.

Such an intelligence that it
should never loses the way.

His mind shouldn't be too
timid so he won't anchor.

And it shouldn't be too reckless
so he won't sail towards the storm.

First, you are bringing news that you caught
Bayezid then you stand here empty handed!

Even if your plan was flawless..

...you failed, Pedri.

If we had sent Bayezid
to Sultan Ibrahim..

...the w*r between Ottomans and
Karamanogullari was inevitable!

Your majesty..

Even though Bayezid
slipped through my hands..

...he went to Constantinople like
a rebellious prisoner in chains..

...not like a shahzade.

They think that he is guilty.

They will surely hand him
over to Karamanogullari.

And you think that will
do us any good, Pedri?

Yorgo hakli.

If Mehmed hands Bayezid
to Karamanogullari..

...then they won't have a
reason to fight anymore.

Let us pray to the lord that
Mehmed does not abandon his son.

In this duty, finding
is just one part.

Knowing who to
find is also important.

That is why, someone who
knows will accompany you.

Molla Lutfi is right with
his reasons, my Sultan.

I believe he will make
the best companion.

And does deli Lutfi,
sorry, Molla Lutfi..

...knows who he is looking for?

For example, that this is a
Christ Pantocrator painting?

A famous icon of Christ where
he holds a Bible in one hand..

...and a gesture of blessing
on the other, my Hunkar.

However, that icon is
found nearly in all churches.

True.

However, the hidden one is the first
one. And what makes it important is..

...what is written on the
Bible that Jesus Christ holds.

If you knew all this, why
didn't you tell us before?

You called for
wisdom, my Hunkar.

We've made an inference
based on research.

Whatever.

Pardon me, my Hunkar. No great
mind was needed to solve this.

I didn't get through
Rabbula gospels for nothing.

Most honorable Voivode.

Molla Lutfi is right.

Even if he has information
missing, he will complete it with yours.

Is this a mission that will be carried
out with information alone, my Sultan?

Maybe Molla Lutfi doesn't
even know the road to Pontus?

You will disguise yourself
when needed also, valiants.

You will fight
when it is needed.

Those who does not
understand this tough duty..

...will they be a burden
or a support to you?

Only I can read Aramaic..

...that alone is enough
reason for me to go!

Most honorable Voivode.

Molla Lutfi speaks
the truth, my Hunkar.

We didn't bring him here all
the way from Tokat for nothing.

I was talking about
that, our grand Sultan.

Only our valuable
Molla knows Aramaic.

May lord protect, if something
happens to him, it would be disastrous.

What you say is true.

You spoke of things
that shouldn't happen.

Now speak to me
what will happen.

Who will be the
man who will shine..

...with his wisdom?

The wisdom of our grand
Hunkar is above all of us.

Only he can find
the right person.

We cannot know that.

We've sent to twenty
three Oghuz beys.

Our strength will
increase, inshaallah.

The arrow left the bow.

May your intentions
and the situation be well.

I say we shouldn't forget
all about Pontus, father.

Even though we are not wed yet,
he is still somewhat my father-in-law.

I wish to go and
offer my condolences.

Besides, our relations
would get stronger.

Only Pontus will not do.

Go to Isvenderoglu
Kasim Bey as well.

If we are heading to w*r,
let our allies be strong.

Will he come to our side?

Mehmed wanted his
daughter for Bayezid.

However, what Bayezid did..

...must've touched
his reputation.

While he is mad at heart,
he will not think ill of us.

However, go after
consulting with Turk men beys.

Why is that, father?

Let us convince them first.

And let us be seen as father and
son like an arrow drawn from a bow.

That impudent man

Noyoda Musveddisi...
...Kampokrator... ... Isa ikonusuymus.

There he was
standing acting all like..

Like I wouldn't know what it is.

That sly..

He took the duty from me.

I cooked it all..

...and he ate in a moment!

Lutfi.

My Hunkar.

I was packing my things my Hunkar.

To return
-for what?

If I was not worthy of the
duty, I need to go back.

If you go, who will solve the
information coming from Pontus?

Who will cook it and
ready it for us to eat?

Do you think I put
you here for nothing?

Do you mean it, my Hunkar?

Am I staying inside this
treasure, my Hunkar?

You gave me the
world, my Hunkar.

What good is reading..

Reading meant, one knowing
haqq. Said great Yavuz.

Do these shine light to..

...Hakk and justice?

It is tied to the scale you put
in order to find Hakk, my Sultan.

State on one hand
and son is at the other.

Then let the
experienced tell us.

Bring the book of
the Ottoman dynasty.

Let's see what
our ancestors said.

Did the state or the son..

...weigh more.

As you command.

Voivode.

Captain.

You are leaving as if
the wind is carrying you.

Weren't you going to
say goodbye to me?

Sure, you got used
to my friendship.

I was coming to
see you, captain.

Please.

Would I ever leave before
saying goodbye to you?

You know, Voivode...

Whenever you lie, or whenever you are doing
things you shouldn't, your eyes change.

I cannot see my
own eyes, brother.

I do.

Again, your eyes are telling me that
you are doing things you shouldn't.

Remember I told you the sea
bottom has pearls and corals...

...one side is also death.

Then, captain... does the sea being deep make
the treasure at its bottom less valuable?

You are right.

You are right but one might
also lose his life and the treasure.

Anyway.

Go safely.

Eyvallah captain.

Safely.

I brought Tevarih as
you ordered, my Sultan.

But...

...if you ask me, I think you
should listen to your conscience...

...rather than the
echoes of history.

Whose conscience?

Sultan Mehmed's or
Mehmed's who is a father?

Which Mehmed holds
the scale, my Sultan?

Once my great grandfather Yildirim
Bayezid Khan lost his older son Ertugrul.

One day he heard a
Shepherd playing his flute sadly.

He said 'to Shepherd,
why are you sad?

Did your castle in Sivas fall
or did your son Ertugrul die?"

Eyvallah.

Sometimes I even
admire a Shepherd.

Does a Shepherd ever worry about
having to choose between a son or a state?

Is the Sultan's kaftan not
heavier than a Shepherd's coat?

But for our religion, state, and country we
said eyvallah to wearing this shirt of fire.

Now tell me.

What did those who entrusted us with this shirt do
when they were between their state and their child?

I asked Tevarih about it.

Tevarih talks about...

...Murad Hudavendigar
Khan, my Sultan.

Murad Hudavendigar Khan left his son Savci
Celebi as deputy in Bursa while he was at w*r.

But Savci Celebi fell into carelessness
and rebelled against his father.

Murad Hudavendigar Khan showed patience so his son would
correct his mistakes but Savci Celebi did not listen.

Seeing that thousands of brothers' blood
would be shed because of this rebellion...

...he caught his son...

...and had him
ex*cuted by bowstring.

Murad Hudavendigar Khan,
for the safety of the state...

...endured this pain.

Come in.

My Sultan.

Shahzade Bayezid is
approaching Payitaht.

Set up the tent
in front of the wall.

As you order, my Hunkar.

My palace must not get dirty.

My Pasha, you used to say that the
state's religion is not mercy but justice.

Right, right, Omer.

But we must see whether it
is about the state or justice.

Everyone knows our
Sultan's anger, my Pasha.

But they also know his
mercy is greater than his anger.

It is all because of me.

Inshaallah our Sultan will take my life instead
of our shahzade so the fire in me will go out.

Do not lose your hope, my Pasha.

Would our Sultan
ever k*ll his child?

Inshaallah he does not, Omer.

Inshaallah he does not.

Don't upset yourself.

You did the right thing.

You did what you had to do
as someone in the dynasty.

Do you remember
the first time...

...we went to Payitaht
from Manisa, my Valide?

I was so excited.

We were going to see
Payitaht... we were...

...going to see my
grandfather Murad Khan.

Then I understood that every visit
to Payitaht causes someone's death.

Huma Hatun.

My grandfather Murad Khan, and now...
-My Bayezid...

My son... do not
upset yourself, my lion.

Our Sultan will listen to you
before he makes a decision.

You are his child.

Do you think your Bayezid
is afraid of death, my Valide?

I can sacrifice myself a
thousand times for our Sultan.

I am just mad at myself.

I could not even
take my revenge.

A brave shahzade
would take his revenge.

Thus... whatever our Sultan
does, it is permissible and deserved.

Our Sultan had his tent
set up in front of the walls.

He will face our shahzade there.

Apparently, they
will k*ll our shahzade.

What are we going to do?

What can we do?

Can we go there and
stand against our Sultan?

If we did that though,
everything would be so different.

You are right, but
we are not enough.

We need a leader
who will lead us.

Graves are filled with men who
thought they could be leaders, Aghas.

You better not take
a single step outside.

Or let alone being an Agha...

...you won't even have
the chance to come here.

Stop there!

Who are you saying
these words for?!

I am not saying anything, Agha.

I am just saying that there has
never been politics in our guild.

Shahzade Bayezid's
situation is not our concern.

We just obey our Sultan.
That's what I am saying.

And I am warning the Aghas.

Is it your duty to warn them?

This guild has its reputation.

It has honor.

And it has a past, Agha.

When I noticed you were into
politics, I thought this would be my duty.

Zeynel!

If you are that interested in politics, tell
our Sultan to have caftans sewn for you...

...tell him to make you
a vizier, Dogan Agha!

How dare you?!

If you say a single
word after me...

...this time your face will not be
slapped, but your throat will be slit!

Come on now!

Keep blowing...

Hay mashaallah Bogac.

You ate all the pastrami under the
saddle on the way but you are still hungry.

Do you know how far
we have to go to Pontus?

That pastrami would not even be noticed in my stomach.
-Hay mashaallah to you.

That Vlad tepee seemed
weird to me, Kanturali.

You think so?

What were you
waiting for, Korkut?

Please.

He is a great Voivode.

Did you think he would assume we were brothers on
the first day?
-Not that, brother...

His eyes are different...

He speaks differently...

My lion... he is from Wallachia.

Come closer.

Come.

The men of Wallachia are...

...cold-blooded like a crocodile, intelligent
like a fox, and predatory like an eagle.

Don't look at me like that.

That's what we
need for this duty.

Don't get stressed.

Don't, my lion.

Don't.

Don't let me down.

Why did we stop?

You know why, my Valide.

My lion..

My son, I told you not to
worry for a thousand times.

My Pasha.

You don't have to
accompany them anymore.

Now the shahzade
will be under my watch.

Mahmud Pasha... where
will you take our shahzade?

Are you questioning me about the order of the state, Ishak?
-Astaghfirullah my Pasha.

If you could question things before, maybe
we wouldn't be going through this now.

But since you
asked, let me tell you.

There is not a single person who can stand
against our Sultan's will in this world.

And the fate of those who
attempt doing so is clear.

Either obedience, or death.

Our Sultan is waiting for his
shahzade in his tent in front of the walls.

Don't, Mahmud Pasha. Don't.

You are a man of the state.

You spent decades here.

Allow me..

...to explain the situation to our Sultan.
-Explain?

You cannot bend the justice of
the state with explanations, Ishak.

Sending word to Sultan
is not your place anymore.

Then, take me first.

Let him take my life.

Maybe..

...his anger would subside and
show mercy to our shahzade.

It would be a shame to Bayezid.

What shameful is that
the state still hesitates.

The sentence is apparent, Ishak.

Shahzade will be taken.

What will we say to Bahar
Hatun, Mahmud Pasha?

Do not worry.

Everyone will bend the knee
to the decision of the state.

Am I allowed, my Sultan?

Come in, Pasha.

My Sultan.

Why did we stop?

I gave the order, my Sultan.

Why?

However, our Hunkar
gave me the order.

You will continue with the
cart and arrive at the city.

Our shahzade will come with us.

No.

My son will come with me.

I cannot give him to
you, Mahmud Pasha.

My Sultan, please do not make
this hard. The order is given.

No, Mahmud Pasha.

My son will come with me.

You go, mother.

Son, my Valiant, don't go.

Let me come with you then.

I'll talk with our Sultan.

I'll tell him to take
my life in your stead.

Our Hunkar wants
our shahzade alone.

No.

I cannot give you my son!

Mother!

Our paths diverge here.

Take care of yourself, so
that I won't have to worry.

They've sent Bali Bey from
the capital, my shahzade.

He seeks your audience.

What does our Sultan com mm and?

He calls our shahzade..

...to the capital at once.

My Allah, Grant mercy
to our Sultan's heart.

Hear me, ya rabb.

Bahar, don't do this.

Don't fall into sorrow.

What are you saying, Gulsah?

My son's life is
on the line here.

What if your son Mustafa
was in the same situation?

May Allah prevent it.

May Allah prevent our sons
from this dark end, Bahar.

Don't say that.

Our Hunkar loves his son..

...more than his life.

Don't you know that?

My Allah, help me.

My Allah, don't make
me endure this pain.

My Sultan.

Why are you turning your eyes away,
Reyhan Agha? What did our Sultan say?

Our Hunkar is leaving
the palace, my Sultan.

He won't see you.

No, no.

No!

-No! No!
-Don't do this, my Sultan!

-Get out of my way!
-Don't do this, my Sultan!

-Get out of my way!
-No. You can't leave.

They re going to k*ll my
son! Get out of my way!

Bahar, it's alright. Come here.

It's alright, Bahar.

Sultan Mehmed is
going to get his son k*lled.

Don't do this, Bahar.

If the son and the state stand
on two sides of the scales,

..which heart won't shake??

Grieving over a son and
the future of the state...

Which one would hurt more?

Which one would make you live?

Whose fate is the death?
Whose fate is the k*lling?

Is the young lion
always after the old lion?

Blood is either for
the son or the state.

But every drop, every single
drop is too heavy for the heart.

Guards stand
sharply at the gate.

Yet the one to pass is
the decision of the state.

The state power should
stand as sharply as the guards.

It shouldn't bend.

It shouldn't be broken.

What I like most about
this bird is right here.

It's good.

Where have you been?

-I was going to almost eat your bird too.
-Forget about the bird now.

I've seen Vlad in the woods.

He sent a pigeon.

-To whom?
-I don't know.

I got suspicious, though.

I got suspicious.

Obviously, he's doing
things behind our backs.

Didn't I tell you that
he is a weird man?

I don't suspect
anyone for no reason.

We're making a mistake.

It's a mistake to trust him.

There is something
evil about this.

The best way to get to know
a man is traveling with him.

But you got to know me wrong.

You sent a pigeon
secretly, Vlad.

Why didn't you tell us?

You watch me secretly.
Why didn't you tell me?

We did that for a reason, Vlad.

Who did you send the pigeon?

Are you blaming me, the person
who Sultan Mehmed calls brother,

...for treason?

Sultan called you brother.

We don't.

We aren't brothers, anyway.

We're just companions
for a duty. That's all.

Companions without
trust can't travel together.

Right. That's your tradition.

First the companion,
then the road.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't introduce
myself properly.

I'm Voivode Vlad...

."Tepesh.

My Sultan.

I told you to come here with a
firman. Why come here as a rebel?

-My Sultan...
- I raised sons!

So they would spread
my orders in the world!

But my son disobeyed my
orders and disgraced me!

Answer, Bayezid!

I didn't k*ll Julia.

They slandered me.

Why did you get
involved in that incident?

Did they slander
you for no reason?

Bayezid!

I said answer!

I loved her.

I loved her, my Sultan.

Hearing that she was going to be
made to marry Karamanoglu Suleyman,

...i wanted to save her.

How could you be so careless and
impertinent?! You fool! You impertinent!

We sent you to that sanjak so you
could ruin the game of our enemies!

But were you so careless that you
could not understand their game?

And that is even after I let you know about
the marriage with Ispendiyaroglu's daughter!

I could not make my
heart listen, my Sultan.

Is that...

Is that why you disobeyed me?

To find and catch the
ones responsible for this.

To prove that I am
innocent, my Sultan.

Did I ever tell you that you were
guilty? Why did you run away from me?

Did you think that if you came
to me I would give up on you?

Then why are you questioning
me here, my Sultan?

If I am innocent, what is
the reason for this furor?

It's because you have stained
your innocence with rebellion.

It's because you disobeyed
me and disgraced the state.

Your father Mehmed might have
said "'he is my son" and tolerated it.

But you were not standing against your
father, you were standing against your state.

Sultan Mehmed Khan's
decision is definite.

It is certain.

My Sultan..

Don't k*ll me...

Don't, my Sultan...

Don't k*ll me...

My Sultan!

Don't k*ll me!

I did not do something wrong!

Spare my life, my Sultan!

My Sultan, do not k*ll me!

I never betrayed you!

Don't k*ll me...

I did not betray you...

My Sultan...

My Sultan!

Forgive me!

My Sultan! My Sultan!

Forgive me!

My Sultan!

I did not revolt against you!

Forgive me!

I went after my fate!

Would k*lling an
innocent fit you, my Sultan!

My Sultan...

My Sultan!

I did everything
for you, father!

My Sultan, forgive me!

Forgive me!

Father!

Stand up.

Stand up!

Why?

You didn't understand
words, Bayezid.

I wished for your to see.

To show you what kind of torment
would you inflict upon yourself and me..

...if you defy my words.

Do not forget, Bayezid.

Do not forget whose son you are.

Do not forget what a moment
of anger would cost you.

Do not forget what a moment's
mistake would crumble a life.

Now, get out of my sight.

My son!

My son!

Thank Allah who granted me you!

I do not wish for anything since
you came through that door!

Thank Allah for him as your
Sultan father forgave you!

He only forgave my life, mother.

Not me.

My dear.

My son.

The mighty beys of
Oghuz. My brothers.

Let us feast for our council.

Ay Han.

Yildiz Han.

Gok Han.

Dag Han.

And Deniz Hanogqullari

the mighty Bey
of Avsars, Guralp.

The undefeated
leader of Kiniks..

...Bayindir Bey.

And my mighty brothers
of all Oguz beys.

Welcome to our council.

Today, we are here to
follow Turks' tradition..

...and for the
prosperity of Oguz.

The Beylerbeyi of Oguzs are six.

Gunhanogullari comes first.

And their leader is Kayi!.

We couldn't see their banners.

Nor themselves.

Those who defy the tradition
has no place in the council, beys!

We've heard what happened.

We know what you
mean by defying tradition.

First of all, our condolences.

Eyvallah!

Now, I ask you, beys.

Would one do what Ottomans did..

...to their brothers?

-Never.

If Ottomans have
broken the tradition..

...what does Karamanoglu
wishes to accomplish with tradition?

Our wish is to show the wrath of Turks to
those who doesn't know rights and justice.

The Ottomans not only
crushed our reputation..

...but also defied the
tradition of all turkmens.

Valiant beys, the sword
that touched us today..

...is bound to behead
all of you tomorrow.

Do not forget that.

You ask all turkmens to
draw swords against Ottomans.

Wouldn't that cause
disorder in Anatolia?

If Ottomans sought order..

...what we did could
be called treachery.

Yet keeping those maintaining order in
order is the never-ending duty of Turks.

You Guralp Bey,

weren't you looking for fertile lands to make home
while coming to Anatolia with your 5.000 horsemen?

You, Bayindir Bey.

Will your herds remain away from
the fertile plains of Ottomans forever?

At the end of this path, summer pastures
of Saruhan, winter pastures of Bursa...

...and all the Ottoman lands in
Anatolia will be a home to all of you.

Isn't that enough to get united?

-My Hunkar.
-Yes?

The messenger of
Karamanids wants to see you.

Where does that impertinent
take this courage from?

Considering he's
daring to challenge us,

...Karamanids must have sent letters to all
Oghuz beys and finished his preparations.

-Maybe in that council, they already...
-Well...

The council in which they did politics
about our blood, our flag and even my son...

...is doomed to be cursed!

Let him in!

Let's talk.

Sultan Ibrahim and his shahzade Suleyman are pointing
out a bright future for us with the lands they promise.

They show a good future at the
end of the way starting with evil.

Evrenosoglu. Bali Bey.

Selamun aleykum.

-Aleykum selam.
-Aleykum selam.

Welcome, Evrenosoglu Ali Bey.

-Take a seat.

We never take a seat in a council
that hasn't the glorious flag of Kayi.

Obviously, we aren't talking to
glorious Turk men Bey Evrenosoglu Ali,

...but the messenger
of Sultan Mehmed.

Speak! We're
listening to your Sultan.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

I am powerful Sultan Mehmed Khan,
from the Oghuz tribe and the house of Kayi.

I'm talking to Turk men beys who joined the
council with Sultan Ibrahim's invitation.

I'm making efforts to spread the reputation of Turks
and the words of the almighty Allah in the world.

Am I your enemy? Why did you
meet in the council against me?

Sultan Ibrahim says
Ottomans shed his blood.

He says they violated the
morals. Can you answer that?

It will be answered.

I'm talking to Sultan Ibrahim who is
my sincere brother and even my own kin.

Were you looking for an
excuse to fight against me?

Why are you crying out for a w*r even before
the messenger you sent to me comes back?

Sultan Mehmed can't say they didn't do it but
he's trying to deceive us with fancy words.

Sultan Mehmed would never make a decision
before he was sure like you did, Sultan Ibrahim.

Shahzade Bayezid will
be brought to Payitaht.

This matter will be investigated and
everything necessary will be done.

Let's say they pay the price for
what Karamanoglu suffered from.

Does Sultan Mehmed have an answer to
give for the suffering of all these beys?

Because of his passion to rule all of Anatolia,
he left neither pastures nor land to the beys.

Sultan Ibrahim is
speaking the truth!

Now the aim of this
meeting is revealed.

All of you gathered under the guise of laws,
but you are just trying to cause fitna.

What are you saying?!

If any of you are not
satisfied with what you have

and try to take Osmanoglu's lands, there
will be land he will take from us, of course.

But...

Know that this land is not under the
sky, it is seven layers below the ground!

The Ottomans know how to be a
brother to those who wish it,

and an executioner to those
who wish otherwise.

It has become clear that no good
will happen at the end of this matter.

Shahzade Bayezid left this tent
on his own feet, not on shoulders.

We saw and understood that Sultan
Mehmed decided to give up on his state.

I have not given up on
either my state or my child.

Now...

You will hear the truth and...

...go tell Karamanoglu
Ibrahim Bey.

It was not Bayezid who k*lled
Princess Julia as you claimed.

It was her father
Komnenos's men.

Bayezid's only fault was
being there when it happened.

He paid the price by being
removed from his sanjak beylic.

What was shahzade Bayezid
doing with Karamanoglu's bride?

Tell me that Sultan Mehmed.

I told you that
the price is paid.

My Sultan said ""either
his son or his state.”

If he does not give one of them...

Your ambassadorship is over now.

From now on...

...you will be responsible
for every word you say.

Know that.

I will take them
both'', he said.

Aghas!

Do you remember what
else our Sultan said?

Once Osmanoglu Mehmed
started wearing Greek clothes..

...he turned away from
the Turkish law, he said.

We have nothing to say to someone
who turned away from the law.

You came to me as a
messenger and disrespected me.

In my eyes, your evil
tongue is dead now.

Your sinister words are buried.

Now...

Go and tell
Karamanoglu my words.

Those who think cruelty is law, those
who stain brotherhood with treachery...

...those who stand against us as
enemies despite the blood relation...

...will not have a single
inch of grave in this land...

...nor a handful of
soil to cover them!
