03x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

Allahu mm a salli ala Muhammad.

No my rabb who opens doors.
Open auspicious doors for my state.

Sultan gathered the
Janissaries and pointed Karaman.

However, we've done our
preparation according to Pontus.

Now, the verdict
has changed, Pasha.

If the banner of conquest is planted at
Bab-1 Sade square, there's no turning back.

Of course not.

However, there are still
matters to be discussed.

Saruca Pasha speaks true.

We gave all of our cannons
to the Navy for Pontus.

Meaning?

Meaning, now the
conquest points to Karaman.

We need to decide..

...which ones and how many..

...weapons we should take.

Of course.

However, Hadhrat grand vizier
Mahmut Pasha hasn't come yet.

Make way!

Hadhrat grand
vizier Mahmut Pasha!

Didn't our Sultan dismiss you?

What are you doing?

Your kavuk, Pasha.

I know it is kavuk.

There is no need for it.

My duty is over.

Bring the other one.

Where to, Ishak?

To Bursa, my Sultan.

To the late Murat Han.

Why?

I've been dismissed
of my duties.

Besides, gossip go around every
second I stay here, my Sultan.

Wear your turban!

Wear your robes and
go to the council, Ishak.

Pasha.

I don't understand, my Sultan.

It is my pardon as Sultan.

You have been forgiven.

What did I do to deserve this?

It was my desire.

Besides, a Hunkar must hold
mercy and wrath even on a scale.

My pardon to you comes from
my hope of your betterment, Ishak.

Thank Allah.

Do not ever put
me to shame again.

You were a companion of my father
Murad Han and a comrade to me.

Who knows, maybe you will
still stand after I pass away.

May Allah Grant you
long life, my Sultan.

Aameen.

Do not let anything
stain your kavuk, Ishak.

If you still insist on
making mistakes..

...your Hunkar will Bury you
with your kavuk, know that.

Come on, to your duties.

And take off that hat.

I'm asking you, what are
you doing here, Ishak?

I've been under this
dome for thirty years.

Mahmut Pasha.

You forgot all that you
learned in three days it seems.

It seems..

...things shift a lot
here thanks to you.

Pasha.

You can not enter the council
without grand vizier's permission.

Especially when
you're dismissed.

It seems, our Sultan
still could not find..

...that insightful and mighty
state man he was looking for.

Maybe there is no need
to look far away, maybe.

Right, Mahmut Pasha?

If you've listened to our Sultan back then, all
this would not have happened
and shahzade Bayezid..

...would be safe and sound, Ishak.
-Mahmut Pasha!

I am not here with shahzade
Bayezid's wounded body..

...in my arms! Know your place!

And what happens if I don't?

Do you dare oppose
the grand vizier?

What is the meaning
of this, pashas?

What is our Sultan
trying to say?

The arrow shot to the red
apple is a Turk men tradition.

Those who know, know.

Our Sultan calls
everyone to his audience.

To make everyone answer.

My Valiant.

My dear son.

Just as I was waiting
for your prosperity.

My Sultan.

We need to go.

I swear to Allah that I will chase
down everyone who did this to you.

Do whatever you can
to heal my son, healer.

How are you, Bahar?

How is Bayezid? Is he alright?

Will he be alright?

What do the healers say?

Why are you here?

What do you mean, Bahar?

Bayezid is my son as well.

Drop the small talk.

Mustafa's only obstacle
for throne is Bayezid.

Your brother Suleyman
hurt my Bayezid.

Now you tell me.

Are you here to finish
what you started...

...or to intimidate me??

Look, Bahar.

I see your anger. 1
see your grief, but...

But you should pray
for Bayezid to live.

Otherwise, I will make your brother
Suleyman mourn for his sister.

Even Mehmed Khan
can't stop me then.

For your information.

Pashas!

Don't you know I always keep my
eyes on you in the tower of justice?

How dare you do
this in my council?

While I worry about my family
and prepare for the next campaign,

...how could you be so careless?

If that happens again,
I will show no mercy.

For your information.

There is no need to
do that before the w*r.

Kurtcu Agha.

Did my Janissaries get trained
for the conquest last night? Tell me.

Sure.

All Janissaries are ready and
set for the conquest, my Hunkar.

Good. What about the Navy??

How is the condition of my
imperial Navy, Bahadir Pasha?

All the preparations have been made
for the campaign of Pontus, my Sultan.

Yet considering that the route
of the campaign has changed,

...we need wider ways for the transportation of
the huge cannons like Shahi with your permission.

We should make
preparations accordingly.

No need.

Haji Yusuf Pasha, what about
the transportation and the food?

How many stops do
we have on the way?

I'm asking you. Answer.

Only grand vizier Mahmud
Pasha can know that, my Hunkar.

You have to know that now!

My Sultan.

That duty requires to be
done by the grand vizier.

-So I am...
-Did you even carry out your own
duty? How dare you speak now?

Ha, Mahmud?

-My Sultan, my duty is...
-You, Mahmud!

You came back empty-handed from the land of
Esfandiyar where you went to perform a wedding!

Then you brought my shahzade
in blood who I trusted you for!

Do you still expect
duties from me??

No armor can stand against
an evil sword, my Sultan.

I investigated.

With your permission, I can capture a castle in the
land of Karaman for every
drop of our shahzade's blood.

And I can totally destroy the
land of Esfendiyar, my Sultan.

You just wait, Mahmud.

Raise your hands to
the sky and just pray...

...for my first child and
shahzade Bayezid to wake up.

Otherwise, Reyhan Agha will
suddenly knock your door one night.

And your robe will
be painted dark.

For your information.

Council is over!

Prepare my horse immediately!

I feel really suffocated.

Shahzade's fever
hasn't gone down.

On the contrary,
it keeps going up.

The infection penetrated
into his abdomen.

Look at this pus.

Give me some ointment.

Give me.

-Give me.
-What now?

No cure for the fever.

We have to wait.

Well... Shepherd's
herb may work.

-Inshaallah.
-Go bring some.

No the power I'm chasing!

No the fate running after me!

Which one of you
should I deal with?

Am I driving you or
are you driving me??

Why is this heart so
exhausted among the victories?

Whenever I win, I
lose a part of mine.

In every conquest,
one side of me falls.

Is this the price of my fate...

...or the ransom of my power?

What is making my future
and throne rise like a palace?

And what is ruining my heart?

Is the power carrying
me or is it my burden?

No heart! I know you can't carry
the power and fate on your own.

Don't drive me crazy.

My Allah!

I know and believe
that you are the power.

Don't let me down.

Don't let me down.

What are you doing?

Mermaid...

I wrapped your wound
with great difficulty.

Do not move and hurt yourself.

How did you find me?

You were on the
shore like dead fish.

You were caught by my rod.

What about my brothers?

Where are my brothers?

Tell me, mermaid...

Tell me. Are my brothers dead?

Tell me so I can take
their revenge! Tell me!

Calm down.

If they had died, it would
have been heard by now.

The emperor would hang them on the
Pontus gate and show them to everyone. -Then...

My brothers must
be their prisoners now.

I have to save my brothers.

Stop... your wound
will bleed again!

Didn't you sew this wound?

Do you think I know
how to sew a wound?

I just pressed a cloth on it and
stopped the bleeding, that's all.

What a shame...

I really feel sorry to see a
warrior like you in this state.

We have been through even worse.

Your torment
feels like a fly bite.

Is that so?

Then you want more.

I have greater
methods of t*rture.

But of course, if you tell me
where the papyrus is, you'll suffer...

...none of them.

Congratulations, Pedri!

Your sword deserves
to be blessed.

Right, priest John?

I think you should not
hurry, your majesty.

Shahzade Bayezid will die
and Turks will get in a fight.

Then our father in
heaven will bless us.

What if he does not die?

Then wouldn't everything
you said be in vain?

What mattered was that
blood was shed, your majesty.

You know well that
Turks clean blood...

...with blood.

Go and have some rest.

All the things you said will
come true until you get some rest.

I hope.

Yes sir.

Your majesty...

Vasil wants to see you.

Let him come.

Your majesty.

Come, get closer.

Here is another man who
deserves to be blessed as well.

You did a great job by making
Turks fall into our hands, fisherman.

Tell me... do you
want more gold?

Sir... Vlad tepee is in Pontus.

Did he come here to be the
envoy of his friend Mehmed?

He is a traitor who
betrayed his religion.

He said he came
for the holy relics, sir.

Besides... he said that he has
the thing you are looking for.

And... the Turks you captured...
He said he gave them to you.

As a goodwill gesture.

Goodwill?

What does he want?

He was apparently not
betraying his religion.

He wants to unite with
us and see those relics.

Where is Vlad?

He is waiting at
the harbor, sir.

He only wanted
priest John to know.

And he just wants
to talk to him.

Why is that?

He said he wants
to ensure his safety.

If he is going to give us what
we want, then we will not...

...hurt him.

Why does my shahzade
still have fever?

My Sultan, it seems the disease that entered
the body through the wound has spread deep.

Thus... -Cut it short!

When will my shahzade recover?!

Tell me that.

Move! Move! I need
to see the Sultan!

Our Sultan is really busy.

Besides, do you think this
is a proper place to see him?

Look, you chief guardian...
Or whatever you are called.

Look, this is really important.

I need to talk to our Sultan
and tell him that I have the shifa.

Look at me you crazy Molla.

You didn't know about the rules
we have the last time you came here.

Our Sultan did not get mad at
you for your behaviors but...

This time, you will
lose your life. Go now.

Listen to me
carefully, handsome.

That's why I am here!

You keep standing in my way!

I need to see our Hunkar!

Attention!

My Hunkar...

It's not the right time.

My Hunkar... my Hunkar,
your shahzade Bayezid..

I heard about his situation.

I heard that his fever does
not go down. Allow me...

How will you make it go down?

With Sabuncuoglu Serafettin Efendi's...
-La hawle...

My Hunkar, trust
me. Let me do this.

Go and talk to the
doctors. Consult to them.

If you can convince them, you
can do whatever you want. But...

...if something happens
to my shahzade...

...you will pay its
price with your life.

As you command.

My Allah, help me please.

Bismillahirrahmanirahim.

Open the door! Open it!

Did you betray me? Do
you serve the emperor?

I swear, I am not
working for the emperor.

Believe me.

Don't be stupid enough to
not know you're being followed.

Did you talk to him?

I talked to priest John.

He said he will meet you.

Only the priest knows.

The emperor did
not hear you, right?

Sure. I did everything
as you told me.

If there is a trap in this...

I don't think so.

Whatever you have in your hand...
Priest John really wants to see it.

I know.

I also really want to see
it and looking forward to it.

Priest John is waiting
for you at the harbor.

Alone, as you said.

Let's go.

It's a tough duty but I
completely trust you.

Hit the road
without wasting time.

As my Khan orders.

Well... go ahead.

You think they
will arrive in time?

Inshaallah, my Hunkar.

Why are you bending
your brows then?

What makes you worried?

I'm worried about what happened
in the council today, my Hunkar.

Are you worried
about Mahmud Pasha?

Mahmud Pasha is
the fire, my Hunkar.

He will definitely make someone
pay for the words he heard from you.

I don't know whether Ishak Pasha
or I will take a share from his fire.

I'm just worried that he
might harm our campaign.

Mahmud Pasha failed in his duty.

So he will face
my wrath for sure.

Yet, remember this. Mahmud
Pasha brought order in the state.

You're the one who
brought order, my Hunkar.

Certainly, he took
the power from me.

Yet, we fixed the issues
in the army thanks to him.

Our trade is flowing perfectly thanks to the inns,
marketplaces and social complexes he got built.

You also know his contributions.

You said right, my Hunkar.

I know you can't ignore his right
sides because of only one mistake.

-And?
-Yet balance is required in the imperial council.

Without the balance, days
of Candarh will come back.

Grand vizier will act like the Sultan himself
and turn against whoever speaks of his mistakes.

Who should we put against Mahmud
Pasha to provide the balance?

Tell me what is in your mind.

Everybody knows who
is in my mind, my Hunkar.

It's the same person with the one in
your heart but you can't speak of his name.

Where is he?

What is he doing?

He was in Balikesir.

He was dealing with mosque
and construction things.

Yet I've heard that he has come
to Makrikoy for some business.

If you wish, I can
meet him and...

I haven't decided yet.

If someone has to meet
him, I will do it personally.

Well, as you see...

I intend to build a mosque in
the name of myself in Karesi.

May Allah accept your
offering, my Pasha.

May Allah be
pleased. Inshaallah.

We coated the outer walls with the
face stone and built the foundation.

We placed the central dome here.

And we added four
corner domes around it.

Yet these domes should
be covered with copper.

Why copper instead of lead?

Is the lead more appropriate for a
Pasha who worked as Lala for a sovereign?

I'm not a Pasha anymore.

It's harder to cover with lead.

Harder to shape.

There are many
curves in the mosque.

And as you know...
Copper looks nicer.

Whatever. You know the
measures. What do you say?

I want it to be done until
Ramadan. Can you do it?

Don't worry. I'll make preparations
and visit the land of Karesi.

-Master Tugrul! Master Tugrul!
-My Allah, give me patience.

Go head.

We're all done here
anyway. Sit down.

You should've allowed us, son.

Tell me, what is it now?

I'm coming from
the north of Bakirkoy.

There is an issue with the
well in front of my house.

My mother says that it
needs to be coated in copper.

Make a plate for me
so I can go down there.

Coating the well
is a tough work.

How will you do it?

Some are lucky enough to
grow up in one day, Effendi..

We can start with Allah's name.

Only Allah knows if
I will succeed or not.

I'm telling you
that it is a hard job.

Don't you have a father?

Why do you have to do it?

My father became a martyr at
the conquest of Constantinople.

It is just me and my mother now.

Works like these are
for the man of the house.

Your discernment can
be read in your eyes.

What is your name, son?

My name is Mehmet Zaganos.

My father used to fight under
Zaganos Pasha Sultan's Lala.

I was born after the
news of his martyrdom.

And my mother gave
me Sultan's Lala's name.

What are you surprised about, effendi?
Turks gave their children names of heroes.

Mash Allah.

Do you wish me to help you?

I know a thing
or two about this.

If you be my apprentice,
we can do it quickly together.

I will come by in evening
and meet you by the well.

And we can get to it quickly.

What do you say?
-If well was inside the house, it would not be right.

But it is outside,
so that is alright.

A man does not let any
other man enter his house.

That is how my mother told me.

May Allah let your
mother prosper.

Then, it is settled.

I will come by the evening.

We will meet by the well.

I'll find you.
Don't worry.

I'll take my leave then.

Come back again, my Pasha.
-Thank you.

Master Tugrul, who is this man??

Why does he want to help me?

Do you know him?

Of course I do.

He is the Lala of our Hunkar,
who was the leader of Akinjis..

...whose bravery is widely known.

The comrade of your father.

Zaganos Pasha.

The wall is destroyed!

Come on, my valiants!

Do not hold back!

Hold your positions!

Notaras.

Long ago, Karamanoglu
Mehmed Bey held back his forces..

...and marched toward Ottomans.

Just as he was about to claim
their throne, Celebi Mehmed came.

Neither I will turn back from my
aim, nor Mehmed is his grand at her..

...Celebi Mehmed, in my eyes.

Our march starting at Karaman
will end at Constantinople if needed.

Give us news from your
shahbaz cavalries, beys.

Give us news of our armies.

The field of battle is not
about swords now, my Sultan.

Ottomans have cannons..

...that shake the grounds.

Hasibe Hatun has convinced
Akkoyunlu Uzun Hasan.

He will send
soldiers and cannons.

Even if Akkoyunlu soldiers aid us,
the Anatolian Sipahis of Ottoman..

...is greater by number.

Isfendiyeroglu Kasim Bey has
turned Ottomans away from his door.

It means he is on our side now.

Do not forget about Pontus also.

Now, tell me.

How can Sultan Mehmed
stand against all these forces?

Our aim is apparent.

However, we need to get
rid of the trouble near us first.

And that is Beysehir.

Beysehir is the most valuable
border castle of Ottoman.

We can not march
without claiming it.

Then, let our cavalries..

...march to Beysehir.

Aim our bows against Beysehir.

Let all Karamanoglu know that
Beysehir will be our first step.

As our Sultan command.

Do you know the condition
of shahzade Bayezid?

Did your dagger
send him to grave?

No, no.

That is not right.

Not right, no.

What you offer is madness.

What if that causes
more harm than good?

La hawla wa la quvvata.

Do you know how many soldiers
did Sabuncuoglu Serafettin..

...heal with this method?

Do you know what the Sultan will do to
us if something happens to the shahzade?

I do.

We are talking about
shahzade here, Effendi..

Grand healer,
don't you know that..

...a sickness does not discriminate
whether it is shahzade..

...Sultan or a villager?

Everyone carries the
same heart after all.

Besides, you will also wait for
the fever to go out, which will not.

Then what if our shahzade's
condition gets worse, may Allah prevent.

Tavbah, tavbah.

What will happen to you then?

Then it will be very bad..

...for you all.

Allow me now, I will
be held accountable.

If something bad happens to our
shahzade, let them behead me instead.

Inshaallah this method will
be useful for our shahzade.

However, like you said,
you will be held accountable.

Yes.

Now allow me.

He is in critical condition.

I can do it.

Alright.

How are you going to
sew your own wound?

We don't have
medicine as well...

It doesn't hurt more than
the sword wounds we got.

You made me collect all
these herbs from the forest.

Are you sure they will heal you?

You are the girl of the sea,
I am the boy of the earth.

I know well where the
cure will come from.

You should not have
forced yourself to get up.

No.

I need to find Vlad
and save my brothers.

Vlad?

Vlad,

have you heard this name before?

Have you heard it, mermaid?

I heard it when he was
talking to my uncle Vasil.

What did they talk about?

I don't know, I could
not understand.

But it was secret.

Secret.

A secret that he kept from us.

A secret meeting with
Artolos hidden from us, huh?

Traitor Vlad.

Traitor Vlad! He even fooled me!

Stop, your wound will bleed now.

He betrayed us! He betrayed us!

I don't understand anything..

Why are you in Pontus?

Who betrayed who?

Cloth... give me the cloth.

You will understand when I
get up and take my revenge.

Keep pulling..

Here it is.

This is for you, father!

Hey! Whose is this?
Hey! I am asking you!

Damn it!

Look!

-What happened?
-Look!

Vasil...

Betrayal is like a sword.

It turns and stabs
its owner in the end.

Vlad tepee.

Help the poor.

Priest John is waiting
for you at the harbor.

As you said. Alone.

Good.

Little fish...

May god forgive your sins...

Bahar Hatun, I
will visit my brother.

Apparently, you are
coming from his room.

You love your
brother so much, right?

Sure I do.

He is my brother.
My older brother.

But if he survives, he will be
the regent of the throne, Mustafa.

He will be the only
obstacle in your way. Right?

How can you say
that, Bahar Hatun??

May a thousand thrones be
sacrificed for the life of my brother.

Be honest.

You came to finish the job your
mother and your uncle left half-finished.

Right?!

I would never, Bahar Hatun.

Bayezid is my brother.

I would never hurt him.

You set a trap against my son
because you wanted that throne so much!

But may Allah be my witness, if
anything happens to my Bayezid...

...I will k*ll you
and your mother!

Who do you think you are
threatening in my property?!

My Sultan...

Bahar!

Reyhan!

Reyhan, take her away!

Or I will hurt her badly!

Badly!

Come here.

We made a mistake by not
trusting Vlad, your majesty.

We should not have set this trap
when we were going to meet him.

Vlad must have watched from
somewhere and laughed at us.

Didn't you look for him, Pedri?

Unfortunately, we could
not find him, your majesty.

But I assure you,
he will pay for...

You are still letting
your anger control you!

You do not understand that
catching or k*lling Vlad will not help us.

What do you expect us to do? How will
we get the papyrus from him? Tell us then!

We had a chance.

But we lost it.

If Vlad left Pontus, it is impossible for
us to get the papyrus and the holy relics.

And it is impossible for you to make an alliance
with the Pope and save your city from Mehmed.

Did you like the food?

Good for you.

Eat well. More will come.

I just left a basket there.
Why are you doing this favor?

Do you have a home to stay? Do
you have a family that feeds you?

I don't have any of them.

You are alone.

Like me.

I am all alone.

But I love loneliness.

From now on, if we protect each
other, neither of us will be alone.

Understood?

Eat.

Innkeeper.

Listen to me carefully now.

My little friend will
never starve again.

You will give him a warm bed.

Arrange a room.

I will pay the bill.

If he starves, if he feels cold, if he
is hit by a thunderbolt accidentally,

...you will pay for it.

As you order.

Eat.

Come closer.

From now on, we are together.

Little bat.

I know your favorite shahzade
is my brother, my Sultan.

I'm not offended.

Allah is my witness that
my intention wasn't bad.

Don't say such things, son. I
never discriminate my sons.

Both you and your
brother are my favorites.

I appreciate that, my Sultan.

If you say so,
that must be true.

Come here.

It's time for you to show the
whole world what a lion you are.

You'll be registered in the
hearth of Janissaries tomorrow.

First, you will grid yourself with a
sword at the gate and then swear the oath.

As my Hunkar orders.

Sword, you should be with
me while I destroy the land
of Karamanoglu Ibrahim Bey.

Mustafa!

Sit down.

I'm going to take Zagnos Pasha.

You should look
after this place, son.

The troops of Akkoyunlu have
approached our lands, my Sultan.

Nice.

You are my helper in hard
times, my shelter in battles,

...and my solution for
any problem, my Hatun.

Our soldiers have lined
up, my Sultan father.

I'm waiting for your
order to raid Beysehir.

You aren't going to Beysehir.

I'm going there personally.

Why are you leaving my
behind, my Sultan father?

You're to welcome
the troops of Akkoyunlu.

I need you there.

It's not appropriate that a
shahzade isn't joining a raid.

Is this because I
got a sword wound?

It's because you can't
control your sword.

I intend to capture
Beysehir without blood.

You think Ottomans will
surrender a castle without a fight?

What will they do when
they are surrounded?

They, of course, will trust my words, a
Turk men Bey's words, and surrender the castle.

You once said tooth for tooth,
blood for blood, my Sultan father.

There are only
Turk men in that castle.

If we directly swing swords and
shed blood, our names will be cursed.

Let Mehmed think that
he's the Sultan of conquests.

With a word, I will do what
a thousand swords can't do.

You are doing weird
things to beat Mehmed.

Let's say they didn't surrender
the castle. How would
you carry the shame of coming back empty handed?

If they don't listen to words, I
will give them something else.

My Allah.

Ya shaft! [The one who heals]
Ya Hakiki! [The absolute truth]

This poor servant of yours is called
sovereign in the land of Ottomans,

...yet he is weak
in your presence.

He is deprived.

He is in need.

He needs your power.

Begging for your grace.

No the true owner of the worlds!
Let my shahzade Bayezid be healed.

Doctors says there is no cure.

My Allah who cures the ones that cannot be cured.
My Allah who helps the ones that cannot be helped.

Please give me patience
and my son a cure.

Ya shaft!

Healing of the herbs, science of the doctors
and the effect of the medicine are all from you.

Please provide joy for my son's heart,
health for his body and peace for his soul.

Please provide grace and protection.
Spare my shahzade's life for me.

Aameen.

Will you pray for my
sick mother, father?

Of course, son.

May god be with you.

God has accepted
your prayers, father.

You will get the papyri if
you come to Karacam forest.

This time, come without..

...the sword of treachery.

Did you start writing musqa
like Turks, father John?

When people see me, they
want me to pray for them.

There is still no
word from Vlad.

Like you've said..

...he might've left Pontus.

There is no need to let
the captives live anymore.

Do not hurry.

Vlad may still be in the city.

Even when Vlad himself doesn't think
about them, what use will they be to us?

Negotiation.

Not us.

Sultan Mehmed wishes to
throw us into an endless pit.

He will be our rope.

Is the torch enough, my Pasha?

Should I lower it more?

It is enough.

You be careful.

Is it here?

Yes, my Hunkar.

Knock the door first.

Who are you, effendi?

Why did you come?

We've heard that Zaganos
Pasha is here, son.

Where is he?

Show us.

What will you do with him?

Are you his relative
or something?

How should I know?

He is the grand
Sultan Mehmed Han.

First it is Zaganos and now
Mehmed Han in front of me?

Then I am Sultan's other Lala..

.Sahabettin Pasha.

That is me, son.

Pick yourself another Pasha.

Mother!

Bring me my sword!

What is it, son? What
are you angry about again?

These men here use our
Sultan's and his lalas" name.

Their punishment is apparent.

My Sultan?

It is Hadhrat Sultan.

How lucky I am.

I saw you at Edirne.

No need for
formalities, sister Fatma.

You too, son.

Where is Zaganos Pasha?

Tell me.

Zaganos!

My Sultan?

My Sultan.

My Sultan.

How did you know it was me?

There is no one in this world that
calls me Zaganos but you, my Sultan.

Sultan Mehmed Han
went to get Zaganos.

Who is behind this..

Sahabettin...

And if you give me Ishak's
name, he is quite away from us.

Sultan Mehmed Khan
always does what he says.

You know what he said.

Raise your hands
and start praying!

Pray for my first child, my
shahzade, my Bayezid's health!

Or else, the harem's Agha Reyhan
Agha will come at your door one night...

...and the caftan he wears
will be darker than the night!

You should know that.

Tell me Atmaca...

Which is the best
way for us to follow?

We are in a time when both wealth
and hardship are a test, my Pasha.

Right... right...

We are companions
for these days.

Tell me Atmaca.

What would Candarli do
if he was in this situation?

If it was my Candarli Pasha...

He would say "first the companion, then
the way", and look for an ally, my Pasha.

That's why he didn't live long.

I am not like Candarli.

I never had a family, a tribe, or
someone that would protect me.

We lived this life to this day and always said
""Allah is enough, the rest is just desire.”

But my Pasha... it
will get even harder.

What will you do then?

I don't make alliances.

I destroy alliances.

Martyrs go to their
mansions in heaven.

And the families they leave
behind are entrusted to us.

They are blessed heirlooms.

They cannot live under
these bad conditions.

The glorious state would
never let that happen.

As of today start doing what is
necessary, Sahabettin Pasha.

Make sure this little Mehmed has a
document that shows he is a martyr's son.

Inform Soubashi about my orders.

Take good care of this family.

As our glorious Hunkar orders.

Zaganos.

My Sultan...

You wonder why
we are here, right?

I do, my Sultan.

You brought Halime Hatun as a
bride to my father Murad Khan.

Isfendiyar's Bey Kasim
likes you, he respects you.

I asked for his daughter for
Bayezid but... we faced a problem.

This marriage will stop a dirty
alliance being made against my state.

Therefore, my
orders are certain.

Take my daughter-in-law, bring her to the
place she belongs, to harem-1 Humayun.

My Sultan... what if
Kasim Bey doesn't...

...want to give his daughter
to me and close the doors?

What should I do then?

Falcon is the most vicious bird.

We are not the ones who
are called Zaganos [falcon].

You are, Lala.

Do what is necessary.

Do what Mahmud
Pasha couldn't do.

As you order, my Sultan.

Who is it at this time
of the night, Atmaca?

Reyhan Agha?

Did you...

May it be good Reyhan Agha... why
are you here at this time of the night??

I had to bring a
trust to you, Pasha.

Why did you come to my door
before the sun had even risen?

My shahzade!

It's me, Lala...

Why did you bother yourself and
come here at this time of the night?

You could have given an order.

Astaghfirullah Mahmud Pasha.

An arrogant shahzade
calls his Lala to his presence.

A wise shahzade
goes to his Lala himself.

I came here to
ask you a question.

Order me, my shahzade.

I heard I will gird on
a sword tomorrow.

It's true, my shahzade.

At the square of Babussaade.

It's a tradition.

Our shahzades show their manliness by
girding on swords at the Babussaade square.

I know... I know... but wouldn't it
be better if I did that at the guild?

Do you want to put on your
sword at the janissary guild?

The sword makes its
decision at the guild.

Don't Janissaries take an
oath with their sword my Pasha?

Besides, I think it
will be more suitable.

You are right, my shahzade.

My Pasha...

Can you convince our Sultan?

I hope he accepts my
request, my shahzade.

Your servant Mahmud has been
waiting for this day for so long.

I will convince him inshaallah.

Mashaallah.

Mashaallah.

-Hey! Hey!
-What's going on?

Who put me here?

Look here! Who am I talking to?

-It's so cold.
-Thanks to Allah.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
My shahzade!

-Shahzade is awake!
-My shahzade! Thank you, my Allah!

Who are you?

So ill drinks the fever.

Night swallows the suffering.
Are you alright, my shahzade?

You are alright!
Thanks to Allah!?

Who are you? Answer me, man!

Mashaallah! Are
you hearing that?

Know nothing about
torment and turn into a rock!

You speak mysteriously.

Are you insane?

We can't say I'm not.

But I have to say
this, my shahzade.

Even a thousand councils cannot
say what only one mad man says.

Are you alright?

Get me out of here.
What are you waiting for?

You are angry, which
means you are alright.

That's great!

May Allah show grace for you!

What are you waiting for?
Get shahzade out of there.

Mashaallah. Mashaallah.

Come on, come on! You
are alright. You are alright!

What is this mess?
Didn't you take care of it?

After the disaster in Belgrade, nobody
thought Zagnos Pasha would be back, my Pasha.

Zagnos Pasha raised his banner, my Pasha.
We're waiting for your orders to attack.

Zagnos' plan is imperfect.

We'll wait for a while.

What is your order, my Pasha?

My Pasha?

-What?
-Janissaries, especially Dogan
Agha, will be pissed off.

Should we take measures
around the mansion, my Pasha??

How did we end up like this?

You have to pay for this
terrible defeat, Zagnos!

Watch your words, Kurtcu.

My twenty brothers became
martyrs because of you!

-Kurtcu!
-Every plan of yours failed!

We lost the battle
because of you!

My battle plan was perfect, my
Sultan. But some troops didn't arrive...

Every troop at your command
attacked! What failed, Zagnos?

Troops didn't move at
the same time, my Sultan.

-So my plan didn't work properly!
-Enough! Stop talking!

Say no more! We're drawing back from
Belgrade because of your failure, Zagnos.

It seems that you aren't
suitable for being the grand vizier.

Give me the seal.

Now get out of my sight.

With my respect for the
history, I'm sparing your life.

Now go and live
in exile in Karesi!

Get out! Out of my sight!

-Get out!
-My Sultan.

I said get out!

As my Sultan orders.

Get out of my sight!

Go!

There can be no vacant
positions in the state!

From now on, the grand vizier
and my regent is Mahmud Pasha!

May this bring good luck!

May this bring good luck!

You get out too! Out!

Go!

You too! Out!

Get out!

Wait here.

My Hunkar.

Our shahzade's
fever has gone down.

He has gained his
consciousness. Alhamdulillah.

So I've heard.

My shahzade is
saved, thanks to you.

May you prosper, Lutfi.

Astagrufullah my Hunkar.

It was our Allah's grace.
I didn't do anything.

You acted in his means.

With your bravery and wisdom.

Now ask of me whatever you wish.

I will do anything you wish for
your services to my shahzade.

Without working?

You healed him by
working, did you not?

That is why, wish
anything you want.

Do not hold back.

My Hunkar.

I ask of your pardon.

If you could see me fit for a
position near you, I would be honored.

Which position do you wish?

Which station?

I shall Grant it to you.

I wish for his position.

You want to be has Odabasi?

Yes, I do.

However, there are customary
rules of being has Odabasi.

They start their
education from childhood.

First the Enderun, the inner pages hip,
and then the position of Perde Cavus.

Making you has Odabasi
would be against these rules.

Wish for something else.

The mighty Sultan..

...Mehmed Han.
Doesn't your authority..

...extend to these rules?

Towbah.

Then..

...be hafiz-1 Kutup.

You will be tied
to Yusuf as well.

And he will teach
you the palace rules.

Right, Yusuf?

As our Hunkar command.

...

Come on, Yusuf.

Now, it is time to
talk, Sahabettin.

It is my turn to talk now.

Come on Aghas!

Check your gear!

Careful, Aghas. The smallest
mistake can take us to the rope.

Salamun alaikum, Zeynel Agha.

Alaikum salam, Atmaca.

What are you doing in the guild?

Mahmut Pasha sent me.

I'm here to ask if
you need anything.

Send our regards
to Mahmut Pasha.

We are full and ready.

We have everything
we need, alhamdulillah.

Eyvallah, Dogan Agha.

I will tell it to my Pasha.

Your name, Atmaca [hawk].
You have a sharp nose.

We know you for years.

It seems, you have
something else to say.

Right, Atmaca?

No, Dogan Agha.

I have nothing else to say.

However, Zaganos Pasha
is returning to the capital.

I was going to tell you that.

However, you must've
heard it already.

I didn't understand
at first either.

Our Sultan has
sent him to exile.

However, he called him back.

I am talking about Zaganos.

You went to call him?

Zaganos Pasha is
my longtime friend.

It is only natural..

...that I wish for
his well-being.

I do not think so.

What do you mean, Pasha?

You are underestimating
Mahmud, Sahabettin.

What is secret to
you is apparent to me.

What do you seek to achieve
with these cryptic words?

Cut to the chase.

Alright.

What is this?

A mirror.

Hold it to yourself.

I was not the one who sold your longtime
friend Zaganos that night in Belgrade.

What are you
trying to say, Pasha??

Speak plainly.

You have the answer
here, Sahabettin.

What happened that day
has already been discussed.

Zaganos Pasha's
plans were wrong.

It was not the plans
that were wrong.

It was what you did.

I was at the field of
battle with Sipahis.

Everyone saw lit.

They did, a little
late, however.

As you did not attack on time.

The soldiers that were late that
day were under your command.

Are you trying to slander
me, Mahmut Pasha?

I do not get baited so easily.

I saw everything with my
own eyes that day, Sahabettin.

And I've confirmed it with the
nearest commander as well.

And you did not speak
the truth to the Sultan.

While your longtime ancient
friend Zaganos was being punished..

...you did not
admit your mistake.

And you are still
cowering behind denial.

Now, put that mirror against you.
And count how many faces you have.

Sahabettin.

Who else know of this?

How do you feel, son?

Do you have any pain?

Thank Allah.

I am alright.

I do not have any
pain, my Sultan.

You took a dagger, son.

It will take some time
before you fully heal.

It aches a little bit, however, 1
have my strength, my Sultan.

-I could've come to your audience.
-Rest now.

Get rest.

Besides, Mustafa's oath
ceremony will be held tomorrow.

I will be there.

Mustafa's oath ceremony?

Yes.

He will first pick up his sword
to come to conquest with us.

You already know this.

I do.

I do, my Sultan.

Of course you do.

Come on, rest now.

My Agha, shahzade Mustafa
intends to join the hearth.

He's ready at the gate.

He demands admission.

Does he have permission?

With the favor of the
wise, he does, inshaallah.

Aghas, this candidate who intends
to share the little and show modesty...

...wishes to join the battalion whose
cauldron Haji Bektash Veli heated first.

Does he have permission?

Allah Allah! No Allah!

Bismishah, Allah Allah.

The order of the graceful,
the sacrifice of Halil,

...the evidence of
Cebrail, takbeer of Ismail.

La 1lahe i1llallah.

Allahu akbar!

You've come to the council of love.
Stand towards the council, candidate.

Allah Allah! Hu!

Eyvallah! Allah Allah! Hu!

Candidate, the hat you intend
to wear is the hat of Janissaries.

The hearth you intend to join
is the hearth of Haji Bektash.

We have easy
rules and solid laws.

You shall have
takbeer in your heart.

You shall control your
arms, your pants and tongue.

Allah Allah! Hu!

We divide the world
into two, candidate.

Muslims and heathens.

We divide the human
into two, candidate.

Janissaries and
those who are not.

Do you swear to
join the hearth...

...and see every member of
the hearth as your own brother?

I made a promise, Agha.

And I will devote
myself with all my heart.

With the name of almighty Allah and
the prayers of Hunkar Haji Bektash Veli.

For the most powerful, the most helpful,
the creator of the day and the night!

For the brave
warriors, for Allah!

For the lives of all the fighters of
Islam! With love! Say it loud! Allah!

-Allah Allah!
-Allah Allah!?

For the fighters of the past and the future! For
the good of Allah! For the favor of the wise!

For all the ghazis wandering
in the world! Say Allah!

-Allah Allah!
-Allah Allah! Hu!

Hu!

Thanks to Allah. May you have
good years and positions here.

Present his registry
to our Hunkar.

Make the preparations. Our
shahzade will gird himself with a sword.

Don't hurry, priest.

Let's see if hyenas or
jackals are following you.

I swear to our father in the
sky that I didn't tell anyone.

Good.

You are one of the priests
who deceive in the name of god.

Good.

Why do you want to
see the relics so much?

Maybe not as good as you, but
I'm a good Christian too, priest.

The most important thing I know about
you is that you are Sultan Mehmed's friend.

Yes, I am.

I'm even his brother.

Not a brother in
religion, though.

-Papyrus.
-Papyrus.

May he has a good
future there, my Hunkar.

I'd like to see our shahzade
girding himself with a sword, but...

...duty never waits.

There is much to do as a judge.

Justice never waits.

Thank you, Hizir Celebi.

When I go on a campaign,
you will rule the city again.

As you order, my Hunkar.

With all my respect, but...

...I want to ask.

There is still no news
from Vlad tepee.

If the Vatican finds the relics
while we are on the Karaman battle...

All the Christians will unite
and gather around the relics.

A crusader alliance will be formed. And they
will attack us from behind, you say. Right?

They rely on a few
relics with drawn images.

We rely on Allah.

May the one with
the stronger help win.

Besides, I fully trust Vlad.

Those relics will never
be taken by Vatican.

Safely.

For these, I left the emperor and
you sacrificed your friends, Vlad.

So someone had to be
sacrificed, priest Efendi..

Finally, the two pieces of the single
holy papyrus are coming together.

They complete each other.

You will pay for your
betrayal now, Vlad!

You shed my brothers' blood!

Calm down! The priest ran away!

His turn will come
too. But first you, Vlad!

You ruined the game, you stupid.

The only game I ruined is
your betrayal game, Vlad.

Is everyone in
the right position?

Yes my Agha. We don't have
anything missing evelallah.

What about the sugar
candy? Are they ready too?

Yes, my Agha.

This is the oath ceremony of the throne's future,
of shahzade Mustafa, the favorite of our Sultan.

Everything is
complete, evelallah.

No one can decide...

...the fate of the throne or the future
of the state, including our Hunkar.

It will be the one who is
given permission by Allah.

You are right, my Agha.

Trying to guess Allah's decision
and standing against the Sultan...

...taking sides among the shahzades is neither
the duty nor the right of the Janissaries.

Right.

But don't worry.

There is no dishonest man
who would do such things.

There is none.

Attention!

The glorious Sultan, the conqueror
Sultan Mehmed Khan Hadhrat!

Move.

Wait here.

Why did you come here?

For trade or the shipyard?

We can call it a trade.

We have something
to take from Kasim Bey.

Kasim Bey does not
owe anything to anyone!

Who do you think you are?!

Do you ask my name
or my reputation?

Just tell me who you
are, that's enough.

I am coming from
the lands of Ottomans.

My name is Mehmed.

But they call me Zaganos.

Did you come here
to get yourself k*lled?!

Let me pass, soldier.

Take me to Kasim Bey.

For the sake of bread and salt.

Bismisah!

Allah Allah!

Hu!

My path is your path!

My arm is your arm!

My sword is your sword!

My religion is your religion!

My head is sacrificed
for your path...

...my life is for your sake...

...my wealth is
for your tradition.

May my words resemble
the words of our Erens!

I have seen salt, water, bread!

If I deviate from the path, may
the sword you hold cut my head off...

Along with the truths,
with the power of the Pirs...

Ya Ali, hu!

No, the nation of disbelievers, the
enemies of Muhammad [PBUH]...

You are of disbelief,
we are of gratitude...

You on one side, we on another.

May it get in clean
and come out in blood!

May it get in clean
and come out in blood!

May I be cut with
my own sword...

May I be shaken
like the ground...

May I be scattered like soil...

Bismillahirrahmanirahim.

May it be good and
fortunate, my lion.

Selamun aleykum.

Aleykum selam, Pasha.

After the defeat in Belgrade, you
disappeared from sight, Zaganos Pasha.

But the years have
not changed you.

The years have not changed
you either, Kasim Bey.

Thanks to Allah, you still
respect the sake of salt and bread.

Years ago, it was you who came to take
my niece Halime to Murad Khan as a bride.

You are reputable because
you know the traditions.

If we are reputable, it
is thanks to our Sultan.

I also brought you
our Sultan's salaams.

The salaams he sent before
was returned from our door, Pasha.

Now he sent you, knowing
the door would open to you.

But your visit will not go
beyond than this greeting, Pasha.

You took my niece Halime Hatun
to Mehmed's father in the past.

But you cannot take my
daughter Gulperi to his shahzade.

We talked about traditions.

Does breaking a
promise suit our traditions?

What about what
Bayezid did, Pasha?

Does going after the Pontus Princess while
engaged to my daughter suit our traditions?

When men are young,
they can be blinded.

At that age, which one
of us was not like that?

Then truth lifted the
veil from our eyes.

Shahzade Bayezid has also
understood that, don't worry.

Blood was shed, Pasha, blood!

And it is on
Bayezid's hands too.

That matter has been judged.

It was understood that
it was Pontus' game.

Do you doubt our
Sultan's justice?

Our honor was harmed, Pasha.

Our daughter's honor and
our own honor were trampled.

Honor is important.
You are right.

But will not giving your daughter
save your honor, Kasim Bey?

""He was tricked by Pontus'
game and broke his promise.”

Isn't letting them
say that worse?

Will your beylic not
get harmed by that?

Our Sultan says the honor of
our brother Kasim Bey is our honor.

Therefore...

Therefore, he wants us to eat salt and bread,
make promises, and complete the marriage.

The rest is left to your honor.

The marriage will be completed
for the sake of salt and bread.

And in the w*r between the
Osmanoglus and Karamanoglus...

...the Isfendiyaroglus
will not take sides.

Why wouldn't you take sides against
an enemy while being a relative?

You were relatives with the
Karamanoglu, now you are enemies.

So the state comes
before kinship.

And I will not let my state be
ruined while lions fight, Pasha.

Now if you accept, here is salt
and bread. Here is the agreement...

...here is the promise.

Are you alright?

So...

...you were going to take
the papyrus, the priest...

...and then we were going to save
our brothers from the dungeon, huh?

Basat. Are you stupid or do
you have another problem?

How many times should I tell you?
-Vlad...

How could I know
you had this plan?

Why didn't you tell
me in the beginning?

My brother Mehmed has a
very important saying. He says:

If even one strand of my beard knew
what I was thinking, I would cut it off.

It's a good saying.

A good one.

But he is the Sultan.
Are you a Sultan??

I am a Voivode. If I were the Sultan,
you would've been dead by now.

Who is this?

I don't know.

Vlad! Vlad, stop!

Did you betray us
like your traitor uncle?

She is not a traitor!

How do you know that? - I do!

No, please, believe me...

If I wanted to betray you, I would
betray Basat before you came along.

Right.

Don't make a sound.

Now this is a guest
sent by god for sure.

I promised I would not put
on the sword of betrayal, Vlad.

I came here because I
am loyal to my promise.

We could have gone with priest John,
but now we are playing with pieces here.

That's what I expect from someone
who doesn't understand strategy.

We could hunt Vlad
like a bird, your majesty.

We didn't need as many
soldiers as this map has.

We tried at the harbor.
Did we succeed?

But now we know where Vlad is.

He cannot go anywhere.

You have four men from
Mehmed's special unit.

And you couldn't
even make them speak.

Do you think you
can make Vlad speak?

Maybe that demon has
already hidden that papyrus.

He might have taken measures.

With this plan, priest
John will get inside.

Even if he hid it, he will
find it and bring it to us.

Do you think Vlad
will trust priest John?

He will.

He will trust him so much that he will give
the holy relics to us with his own hands.

And when we take them...

What is it..

Zaganos...

Pasha?

You look like you
have seen your enemy.

Are you invading my home or
looking forward to my return?

Think of it as, looking for
your return with grudge.

Think of it as I invaded
your home for revenge.

Look at these words.

Speak like a man.
What do you want?

You remember..

...the twenty companions
I've had to put into graves..

...in Belgrade, right?

Dogan Agha.

If our Hunkar did not
exile you in a hurry..

...I was going to settle..

...with you.

However, you still could
not escape it seems.

You still came here.

Do you think I planned alone?

Didn't I..

...personally discuss with you?

Didn't you agree to it?

Now, you blame
me for everything?

You were the grand vizier.

You planned it all.

Is this how you affirm yourself?

By blaming me for everything?

Is this how you douse
the flames in your heart?

You have to carry
the same weight..

...as I do.

Any news?

No.

The mermaid is on the
lookout while fishing.

Who?

Mermaid.

Irena.

Do you believe me now?

If I wanted to, I would've come
here with an army of knights.

Why didn't you do so?

Why did you not
inform your emperor?

Komnenos is a dastard.

He will stain the holy relics
with his own dirty intentions.

Isn't this treachery
against the Pope?

Unfortunately not.

They are playing the
Pope by their rules as well.

However, I wish only to
not stain the holy relics.

Just like you, Vlad.

I just want to see them once.

You are the only person
who can understand me best.

I will not believe anything
before seeing papyrus.

Do you believe me now?

Do you see the Aramaic writings?

The language of
our Jesus Christ.

He calls us, Vlad.

He calls us.

Yes.

Papyrus is not empty.

However, father, you
are no longer needed.

You are empty.

Ayvaz.

Yes, my Sultan?

Go to the commander Tolga Bey.

If he surrenders the
castle, I will spare their lives.

If they choose to resist,
they will be responsible..

...for the bloodshed.

Inshallah, he will
choose to resist.

So that I can k*ll him myself.

Come on.

As you command, my Sultan.

As you ve commanded, my Sultan..

...the Sipahis at Saruhan has
made their way to Bursa fronts.

What about the
Sipahis at Germiyan?

Some are at Gelibolu
fronts, protected by the sea.

And some will be appointed to..

...Anatolian guard
duty, my Sultan.

If you wish, we can send Sipahis
to Karamanoglu borders as well.

We are marching already, Ishak.

Why should be send Sipahis?

I mean, just in case
Karamanoglu attacks..

...he will first
attack our borders.

-So that before we go..
-Do not worry.

I already took precaution.

You did?

Yes.

How, my Sultan?

Now..

Bali Bey.

Our Sultan values
envoys greatly.

He knows how to welcome guests.

However, his wrath is
as sharp as his mercy.

Our Sultan has ignored..

...every mistake of this devil..

...just because he was an envoy!

However, I will
not, Ibrahim Bey!

Now, your end is settled!

A thousand Akinjis wait outside!

Come and take it if
you have the courage!

Are you tired, my dear?

A little.

Your room is being prepared.

You can rest once it is done.

Besides, my Bayezid
will come soon.

He can show you your room.

However you see fit.

No need for formalities now.

I am like your mother now.

And you are my daughter.

Thank you.

Do not worry..

...just because you are far away
from your mother and father.

This palace will be
your new home now.

Come to me first if you
have a problem, my dear.

Bayezid will never
leave you alone, anyway.

Bayezid is here.

My Sultan.

Our shahzade said he won't be coming
because he has some important job to do.

What do you mean, Reyhan?

That's what I'm told to say, my
Sultan. I don't know anything else.

Where is he now?

As you ordered, we succeeded in bringing
Gulperi Hatun, your daughter-in-law to be.

She joined the harem.

Good.

You didn't disappoint me.

You didn't disgrace me.

Our relationship harmed by
the hostility of Karamanoglu...

...will be reinforced with
the relation of Isfendiyaroglu.

Yet, my Sultan, Isfendiyaroglu Kasim
Bey avoids carrying out the relative duty.

What?

He wants to stay
neutral in the fight.

I couldn't convince him anyway.

His being neutral is for one time
only for our fight against Karamanoglu?

Or will he be always neutral?

We need his help for
the campaign of Pontus.

If he is going to be neutral all
the time, we will be in trouble.

Kasim Bey is an old wolf.

As the weather is foggy, he wants
to see who the predator and prey are.

Yet those who stay neutral in our hard
times will be eliminated when it's time!

For sure.

You've come a long way
from a tough duty, Zagnos.

Go rest now.

With your permission, my Sultan.

I want to rest in Balikesir.

My duty has been
finished. I need to go now.

Don't bother, Bayezid. Sit.

Why didn't you come,
Bayezid? Are you disobeying me?

My wound is still hurting.

That's why I didn't come.

Don't lie to me, Bayezid.

Just say you
didn't want to come.

Say you disobeyed
me. But don't lie to me.

Did you ever ask about my heart?

Gulperi left his parents and homeland
behind and came here for you.

What will happen to
that girl if you do this?

And me?

What will happen to me?

I lost my blood for Gulperi.

Then what happened?

Even Sultan ignores that and is taking
Mustafa with him for the campaign.

He just left me here.

My boy, that's not the case.

-You have a wound so...
-It's just an excuse, mother.

It's just an excuse.

I lost his favor.

So don't push me.

Is there a grace period
for the state service?

A life ends but serving the
state never ends, my Sultan.

Yet I did my part.

Is the part of Zagnos Pasha
staying back from the fight?

Does he prefer the cotton
mattress to a horse back?

Is holding a shovel better
than holding a sword, Zagnos?

The day when I rode a strong
horse and held a sharp sword...

You know...

Maybe, since Belgrade, I'm
not a fighter anymore, my Sultan.

After a battle, our
prophet [PBUH] Said...

We finished the little jihad.
Now it's time for the great jihad.

The great jihad is our nafs.

It's harder to fight against it.

It seems you defeated
the great jihad.

We can't have our
fight without you.

You always belong with me.

Thank you, my Sultan. Thanks
for complimenting on my nafs.

Yet my arrival may be
too heavy for other nafs.

Who do you mean,
Zagnos? Speak clearly.

There is always good in
consultancy, my Sultan.

I just want to ask the opinions
of the council members.

I should know if my presence will
harm the peace in the state or not.

Sol can make a decision.

Well... grand vizier Pasha. Is the presence of
the successor too heavy for the predecessor?

Is the desire for titles heavier
than the welfare of the state??

My Sultan, if there are any concerns
in my poor head, it's not for the title...

...but only for the state.

If Pasha is to be
useful, he is all welcome.

Those who know him more closely
than we do must have better ideas.

You tell me, Sehabettin.

It's you who most
wanted Zagnos to be back.

Say your opinion so
Zagnos Pasha can hear you.

My Hunkar.

Zagnos Pasha's talents in
duty are praiseworthy, of course.

As he said, we should care
about the balance in the state.

Yet the balance of the
state is not only about us.

I'm asking your opinion, Sehabettin.
Why put forward the others?

My Hunkar, the ones you call the others
are the cornerstones of the state too.

If they fell uncomfortable with
Zagnos Pasha's coming back,

...the building can
shake from the corners.

For this reason, Zagnos Pasha's
coming back is not appropriate.

-Sehabettin.
-My Hunkar.

Are you playing with me?

Never, my Hunkar.

Wasn't it you who offered Zagnos Pasha's
return for the balance in the state?

By

it's not the same person
who said those words.

Whose leash is around your neck?

With whose tongue are
you speaking, Sehabettin?

Either you will speak
without the leash...

...or both the hand
that placed the leash...

...and the head
carrying the leash...

.Will fall.

They will fall.

They will fall.
