03x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

- All together.
- Come on.

Our Sultan didn't
stay in Bursa for long.

Do you know why we are
setting up the camp here?

A true man should rise where
he has fallen, Zagnos Pasha.

Ankara is the place where we
went through the interregnum.

A Mehmed had
revived the state then.

Now another Mehmed is
starting the era of conquests.

In a week, our horses will be in
front of the palace of Karaman.

Who told you that the campaign
would be on Karaman, Bali Bey?

Blood.

Blood calls a raider.

And we have answered
the call, Pasha.

Aren't we going to have a campaign on
Karamanids who shed shahzade Bayezid's blood?

Tell us if you know something.

A state cannot be ruled with
blood feud, Zagnos Pasha.

Otherwise, we would be having a campaign
in the west not east to avenge Belgrade.

Everything has a
time. Remember that.

I think the campaign
will be on Pontus.

If it were on Pontus,

...the way wouldn't go
through the Cubuk valley.

If it were on Karaman, we
wouldn't have such a long way.

Attention!

Sultan of ghazis!
Sovereign of time!

Sultan Mehmed the conqueror!

Welcome, my Hunkar.

The tent of the free
ones is outside the camp.

Why is that?

As we won't stay long here,

...we built the tents in a spot where they
wouldn't impede the marching route, my Sultan.

Do you even know how
long we will stay here?

My Hunkar, every day
we don't reach Pontus,

...the threat of
Pope is approaching.

Who told you that the campaign
would be on Pontus, Pasha?

-I said the campaign would be on
Karaman, my Sultan, but... -Look.

Look, pashas!

Even a single hair of my
beard knew my intention,

...I would rip it off!

You are my closest ones.

Even if you are confused,

.it means I
succeeded in my goal.

Mehmed won't
stay long in Ankara.

He'll set up his tent here soon.

At least a hundred
thousand soldiers with him.

If Mehmed were going to
come here, your majesty,

...we wouldn't be keeping
his army in Ankara.

He is going to
chase his vengeance.

Besides, if he marches here,

...the army of Karamanids
are going to follow him.

I don't think he would take the risk of
being stabbed in the back, your majesty.

Why is he in Ankara then?

Why is he keeping
his army there?

Why isn't he marching
towards Karaman?

Who knows?

Even the devil
himself can't predict...

...what Mehmed is thinking of.

Yet I need to remind you, your majesty, that
Pope is sending a great Navy and weapons to us.

Absolutely.

Besides, Karamanids, Esfendiyar dynasty and even
Akkoyunlu are going to support us, your majesty.

This battle will be the biggest
battle Mehmed has even seen!

Or the last battle we have seen.

They have no chances against
Mehmed's enormous cannons.

We have taken measures
on the way, my Sultan.

Mehmed won't be
able to make it here.

Mehmed brought his
army to Ankara so fast...

...that you can't even
imagine the things he can do.

His grandfather Bayezid was famous
for marching his armies like a lightning.

Yet he faced a
disastrous ending.

And now his
grandchildren will pay...

...the price of confronting you.

If he wants to confront us,

...why is he waiting in Ankara?

Why is he not coming?

Everyone has only one chance
to make mistakes in the sea.

You know that.

When the storm comes..

...you won't even
know what happened.

The storm does not come
from the sea this time.

It is waiting in Ankara.

Only Allah knows
whether it will blow to us..

...or to other states.

Sultan Mehmed's troubles
are with Karaman and Pontus.

Why should he trouble
with us, my Bey?

When storm comes..

.It will not see where
it is wreaking havoc.

Let us pray that Mehmed
will not march to Pontus.

Otherwise, his first
stop will be here.

My Bey. Your brother
Ismail Bey is here.

He is waiting for you inside.

Now we have more
than one thing..

...to worry about.

We have been appointed to jihad.

It doesn't matter whether
it is infidel Pontus..

...or Karaman against us.

We will do what we
were appointed to do.

We wish to know what this
waiting will earn us, my Hunkar.

We are not waiting
here only to strike fear..

...to our enemies.

We are waiting for Pope's move.

Is it Pope's
reinforcements, my Sultan?

If Pope's reinforcements arrive, we
will spend the whole winter in Pontus.

Mahmut Pasha speaks
true. That is why..

.It is important to know whether
reinforcements will arrive or not.

If Bahadir Pasha can
prevent the upcoming fleet..

Pontus will resist our
siege for only one month.

My Sultan, may Allah
prevent, however..

...what if Bahadir Pasha
does not succeed?

Then we will face our
horses to Karaman..

...and march towards there.

How is the Pope has the courage
to stand against us, my Hunkar?

Out of fear, Pasha.

Pontus is the last
stronghold of Rome.

I believe Pope is having
nightmares of the fall of Pontus.

As fear turns a cat into a hon.

Do not forget. The
greatest fear of the Pope is..

...Pontus.

Your highness.

I am asking for one last chance.

One more chance to
bring the holy relics to you.

Do you know how
vandals plundered Rome?

Rome sent general Flavius
against vandals again and again.

Even though he was defeated.

Flavius lost a trait of
his with each defeat.

First, his honor.
Then, his pride.

And the last, land.

I do not wish to lose these.

Luck is a flying bird.

It does not come
back to the same spot.

Will you let the
relics just stay there?

What do you plan on doing?

I heed someone who
does not know defeat.

Someone who does
not flee after defeat.

Someone who will fight..

- Until the last
drop of his blood.

So, you are insisting
on sending Draven.

Yes. Bring me Draven at once.

Grand names are needed..

...for grand objectives.

Only he can do this task.

They told me I
would find you here.

However, they didn't tell
me I'd find you in this shape.

Whoever you are
looking for, he is not here.

Aren't you the one k*lling senor
Paviloya because of his tyranny?

The one who took
the state against him?

Aren't you the one who
buried tax collector Alexandro..

...along with his unjust money?

Sorry, I am not the
one you are looking for.

You are the one who lost
his brother at Constantinople..

...went to Pope to avenge him..

...and came back..

...to this silent place..

.Draven Giustiniani.

Aren't you him?

If it is not you, then Giovanni
Giustiniani's blood is not avenged yet.

From what I've heard, the k*ller
of your brother, Kurtcu Dogan..

...is still the head of
Mehmed's armies.

Do not forget about me.

Where I come from, one
does not called a wolf..

...unless there's a dog
barking behind him.

You don't forget us as well.

Blonde man.

I came to you numerous times.
And you always ignored me.

Everyone at Vatican knows that..

...glustinianis do not work
with anyone but themselves.

Other than their blood.

Your brother's blood
has not been avenged yet.

Either take your
brother's revenge..

...and honor his soul..

...or step on it..

...and continue vanishing here.
It is your call!

My Sultan.

What is it, Yusuf?

- Sahabeddin Pasha wishes for your audience.
- I'm busy.

I've told him, my Sultan.
However, he is not leaving.

Let him in.

My Hunkar.

We made you the
head of stewards.

What is it, Sahabeddin?

Did you botch that too?

You deranked me as
you did not trust me.

You had right to
do so, my Hunkar.

- However..
- However?

However what?

However what, Lala?

Should I give you
the ropes of the army..

...and you shall do
as you wish again?

Should I take you
under the dome again..

...so that you shall sow discord?

Do not forgive me, my Hunkar.

Behead me, because
of my mistake.

Or, allow me to have a chance..

...to redeem myself.

You made my head
bow out of shame.

It doesn't matter if yours fall.

If you are still in my presence,
you owe it to Zaganos.

The same Zaganos, who
was exiled because of you.

- My Sultan, I..
- You, Lala.

You are nothing to me anymore.

Now go and do the duty..

...that Mahmut
Pasha sees you fit of.

Get out, Lala. Get out.

My Hunkar.

- Hasn't Vlad come yet?
- I shall call him, my Sultan.

Come and see, its fresh!

Have a look at the wares!

Are we going to go to Pontus or
Karaman, grand vizier Hadhrat?

The shopkeepers of
the army keep asking us.

You, as guild chiefs, should
provide supplies for Pontus.

As you order, my Pasha.

What happened, Zaganos Pasha?

My Pasha...

My Pasha.. I am checking
the shopkeepers' counters.

I am trying to see if everything will
be enough for the battle in Karaman.

But they are providing
supplies for Pontus.

If we go to Karaman...

...what we have will be more
than enough. Don't worry my Pasha.

My Pasha... our Sultan
assigned Sahabettin Pasha...

...for provision matters.

Did you take the duty back...

...after getting mad
because of that matter?

You were quite tolerant
and forgave him...

...and I forgave both of you
although you both made mistakes.

My Pasha...

I am not sure if you are
holding a grudge against me.

But if you do... do not
let it make us enemies.

We are bowing our heads to the state
and we are kissing the state's hands.

Zaganos Pasha... don't worry.

Whatever I do to you,
I do it for the state.

What I don't understand is...
If the issue is not personal...

...why are you threatening me??

Why are you trying to stop me
from being assigned in the state?

For unity, Pasha. For unity.

Unity?

How is making
two pashas argue...

...unity?

You argued in
Belgrade in the past.

My politics brought you
together again, Pasha.

I am not surprised that you
didn't understand, Zaganos Pasha.

Or else, you would have the
seal of the grand vizierate, not me.

Go safely now.

Safely, my Pasha.

May I, my Sultan?

Come in.

You called me. -True.

Considering your
nervous expression...

My timing is bad. I
should come later.

Stop.

While I am marching
towards my enemies...

...the ones that are close
to me are making me upset.

The things my Lala
Sahabettin did...

The mistakes of the
man I call "'my brother"...

What mistake are
you talking about?

Do not even start
with that, Vlad.

You couldn't take
those holy relics...

Since you failed, the Pope is
now sending an army to Pontus.

If you hadn't failed...

I wouldn't have been nervous, and we
wouldn't have been talking about this.

It's true that I couldn't
take the holy relics.

But we found out that it's in Pontus.
If we didn't have this intelligence...

...you would be making a different plan now.
- Are you a messenger?

You were not there
to gather intelligence...

...you were there to
take the holy relics!

You did not come back with Karatugs.
You did not come to me. Why?!

Why?!

I did my best. Don't
you trust me, Mehmed?

I do, brother! I am mad
because I trusted you!

But for the first time..

...you let me down in
such an important task!

Was there someone more
talented than me for this task?

Yes! You know that madman...

I was going to give that duty
to him. But you volunteered.

Maybe he would
succeed, who knows.

That madman... Mehmed...

Brother...

Look, Vlad.

We are not kids anymore.

You are my brother. I
am your brother, but...

I am also your Hunkar.

You made a big mistake.

You made such a big mistake that
your brother cannot even defend you.

Now think. Think.

Think.

Mehmed! -Vlad?

Mehmed...

Sultan Murad is
exiling me to Tokat.

Can't you talk to your father?

Can't you do something?
Tell him not to send me away.

Vlad... forgive me.

I cannot.

What?

What do you mean,
Mehmed? Aren't we brothers?

I warned you, Vlad.
But you made a mistake.

You made such a big mistake that
your brother cannot even defend you.

No... I did not make
a mistake, Mehmed.

Listen to your brother. I
did not make a mistake.

Mehmed, listen to your
brother! I didn't make a mistake!

I didn't!

Mehmed!

Listen to your brother, Mehmed!

I did not make a mistake.

You are still being stubborn.

Will you never change?

You never change! You were
thinking the same back then...

...and now you
think the same again!

What is it? Have you been...

...holding a grudge
against me for years?

Unburden yourself.

- Unburden yourself!
- You unburden yourself!

You get mad whenever
I do something wrong!

How can you forget
everything I've done so far?

We are talking about the state!

Do not make it personal!

Do not make it personal!

If this state is yours...

...I've been just a loyal
servant of yours to this day.

I made my great voivodeship
pledge allegiance to you!

You did nothing!

We granted that voivodeship
to your father and to you!

And you are still talking..

You keep calling me brother...

Don't you see the state
that your brother is in?

They shed my son's blood!

Karaman shed my Bayezid's blood!

My heart is burning in flames!

I cannot look at my son's face!

I have to take my revenge. But
since you couldn't take the holy relics...

...now Pontus is
standing in our way!

I am ready to pay the price.

You already paid the price.

By letting me down...

...you already paid the price.

So that I put my
brother in this situation..

...it is my duty to save him.
- What does that even mean?

To gain your trust again..

...I Am ready to pay the price.

But you, Mehmed...

Are you ready to see that price?

Look at me...

I never pay a price.

I just make others pay it, Vlad.

I just make others do it.

Do it, brother.

If I can't take
those holy relics...

...if I let you down again..

...make me pay
the heaviest price.

Maybe so many
people will get hurt...

...I am sure they will
get hurt, but I, for you...

...am ready to pay
that price, brother.

My glorious Hunkar.

Go.

This is the hamam of our
Janissaries, my shahzade

this is where our
soldiers take a bath.

They get all clean here.

For the headquarters, the cleanliness of
the soldiers is as important as their order.

You did well by
building it right away.

Our Sultan orders...

...cleanliness, supplies, sleep.

Janissaries must be
given all these three.

They will be strong
in the b*ttlefield.

Evelallah my
shahzade. Don't worry.

And this is the
quarter of hearts.

Before the Belgrade
w*r, your brother...

...disappeared for a while.

We kept looking around in fear.

We found out that
he went to the...

...quarter of hearts...

...to listen to Molla
Gurani Hadhrat.

I wish my brother was
here too, right, Kurtcu Agha?

What did you say, my shahzade?

Everyone in the world knows
that you support my brother.

If he was here, it would
make you happy the most.

My shahzade... we do
not do politics in the guild.

We never discriminate shahzades.

We do not respect names...

...we respect their positions.

I will go to Mahmud Pasha.

You will keep showing
me around later, inshaallah.

My Agha.

My Agha... they saw your
brother in the quarter of hearts.

That's not all! Ishak Pasha...

...Zaganos Pasha...

Sahabettin Pasha, and me!

The field of Varna...

...the army was in
a difficult position!

A soldier came to me... he said
"commander Sahan! Commander Sahan!”

I said "what is it?"

The soldier said "they our defeating
our army, commander", in fear.

Come on! Go!
Attack them! k*ll them!

Cut them in pieces!

Cut their heads off! Hurry up!
- I said, "'stop, pashas.”

"Prepare my horse!
Bring my horse!”

I got on my horse, and I
got down there like a thunder!


I k*lled all of them!

You did well to those infidels!

You must've been born
with a sword in your hand!

Everyone was yelling!

They were saying
"commander Sahan' altogether.

Commander Sahan!
Commander Sahan!

I am a humble man.
Do not say that here...

Sahan!

My Bayezid... you should've
kept your bandages for some time.

I couldn't have gone to
my sanjak in that state.

But your wounds
will not heal properly.

Besides, you are
not eating enough.

May Allah forbid, I am afraid
you will lose your strength.

You should at least
have some soup.

Besides, they said our
Gulperi daughter cooks well.

If you wish, she
can cook for you.

I can cook it right
away, inshaallah.

Do you like yogurt
soup, my shahzade?

Thank you Gulperi Hatun. I don't
want it, do not bother yourself.

How would it bother me, my
shahzade? If it is going to help you..

...it would only make me happy.

You should have some
rest. I will go and cook it now.

Speak! Come on!

Whose spy are you? Who ordered
you to sneak in the quarters?!

I will make you cry in pain!

You will beg me to die!

Speak! Come on!

Attention! Fatih Sultan
Mehmed Khan Hadhrat!

Zeynel Agha.

Why are you upsetting
this man? Who is he?

A spy among the volunteer
battalions, my Sultan.

Yet he isn't telling
us which unit it is.

Which enemy is
holding this vile dagger?

He is not speaking, my Sultan.

Yet he will give up. We'll take the
words from his mouth somehow.

Catching the spy...

...won't make up for
the security weakness.

Would like them to hit us in our own
camp even before the battle starts?

Never, my Sultan.

I've taken necessary
measures about that too.

What is it?

The spy was among the
volunteer battalions, my Sultan.

For this reason, I got the tents of the volunteer
battalions moved away from you and the viziers.

What about security?

I increased the number of Janissaries around the
sovereign's tent and the tents of the viziers.

- They will have a sharp lookout.
- Good.

Good measures, but...

...remember that you have
taken a serious responsibility.

Even a single mistake
may make it fall over you.

Attention!

Speak! Speak!

You have to speak!

Your father Antonio Giustiniani,
your uncle Mateo Giustiniani...

...and your brother
Giovanni Giustiniani...

...fought heroically in
many missions for this city.

Now it's your turn, Draven.

-In Pontus... -They say Kurtcu Dogan
is still the commander. Is that right?

Yes.

When am I leaving?

Now if you like.

No need to wait.

Well... ten galleys are waiting
for you in the port of Varna.

With weapons and knights.

Remember, Draven.

You need to fight for not only
yourself but also christianity.

I'm sure our Sultan
has a plan, but...

...is dividing the Navy into
thirty a good move, Pasha?

This is the vast black sea.

We don't know what route the
heathens coming from Varna will use.

There are no
other ways for this.

Galleys with high
boards are coming.

You know our boats.

Let's say we come
across a heathen.

How can we fight them, Pasha?

Our boats are smaller.
That's right. But it's good for us.

How so?

That means we
have better mobility.

When they see us, our cannons
will send fire like a dragon...

...before they even know.

And then?

Galleys running away from the heavy
cannonballs will gather like a small island.

And with our fast ships,
we will attack the galleys.

For this reason, all the boats sailing
in the black sea must be cautious.

With a mistake, you lose
your head. For your information.

Everybody get to work now.

Food or whatever it
is, I don't want. Get out!

I said I don't...

- Stand up.
- Mother.

Look at you. Shame on you!

Say that to those
who did this to me.

A Karaman shahzade should stand upright
like a mountain even in the dungeon!

Look at me, mother.
Look carefully!

Is this a Karaman shahzade?

If it were, I wouldn't
be in this dark dungeon.

That's why I'm
here to take you out.

You didn't put me
in here, mother.

I took permission
from your father.

How did he let you?

Mother, did you beg to him?

If you did, I don't want this!

Karamanoglu Suleyman would never get out
of the dungeon with his mother's begging!

Go away, mother. Go.

Look into my eyes!

Would your mother
beg to even a Sultan?

Why did he let me out then?

Sultan Mehmed has come to
Ankara and set up his army camp.

So inner conflicts would make
us weaker against the enemy.

I could hardly
convince your father.

You will kiss his hands
and ask for mercy.

- I will never...
- Shut up!

This is the only way
for you to get out of here.

Then what, mother? Then what?

Will I live as a
maltreated shahzade?

Tell me.

When the storm ahead
of us calms down,

...the wind will certainly
blow in favor of you.

Brother.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

The question is... what
are you doing here?

Didn't I tell you to go back
when we were in the capital city?

I decided to become a surgeon,
brother. You know I'm good.

- What surgeon?
- Surgeon? Did I say surgeon?

I meant to say
traveler. A traveler.

You can become
just a funny storyteller.

You can only make
people laugh at you.

Brother, didn't you tell me to stop
lazying, have a job and start a family?

- I did.
- I couldn't.

You stupid... give
me patience, my Allah.

The army will have a campaign.

During a campaign,
duty never waits.

I'm Kurtcu Dogan's brother.

I would never avoid a campaign!

- Stop babbling!
- Babbling? Don't you know me, brother?

Death is my armor!
I volunteered!

Army needs brave warriors.

Sahan!

Listen to me. Go back home.

If I see you here again,

...I will plant you like a tree.

I don't want to see you
on the ground in this army!

As you order, my Pasha!

What Pasha? What Pasha?

You're going to
ruin me too! Get out!

What Pasha?

You didn't manage
anything yourself.

Both you and your father
became voivodes thanks to us!

I'm ready to pay any
price to gain again.

But you, Mehmed... are
you ready to carry the price?

Emperor David Komnenos.

Sultan Mehmed is
about to reach Pontus.

Even Pope's Navy can't
defend you against his army.

The only way to
survive is the relics.

If you give them to me,

...I will prevent Sultan
Mehmed's campaign on Pontus.

Vlad Tepesh.

May I come in, Voivode?

Yes!

They say a madman
brings good news.

What is it, madman Lutfi?

You have the news
these days, Voivode.

They say a book in
the relics is missing.

Barnabas gospel.

I said what I'm required to say
to people I'm required to speak to.

Leave me alone now.

Look.

Are you trying to decrypt the
secrets of barnabas gospel?

Who knows what mystery
lies behind those dark eyes?

Ha?

Yes. The darkness of
death lies in my eyes.

If you aren't careful,

...you may get lost in the dark.

- What are you doing, Voivode?
- Stop!

I won't say that again, madman.

Oh madman... are you alright?

- Fine.
- Are you alright?

His name is Vlad Tepesh but you
have just met Voivode the impaler.

Insane.

Of course.

What is this?

Sect of dragon.

Well...

Voivode.

Vlad the second.

Vlad the second. His father.

He is Vlad the third.

Vlad Dracula.

His son.

Lala, are you
disturbed? What is it?

Don't you like the table?

This is the campaign meal.

We need to eat the same
food with the soldiers.

Astaghfirullah, my Sultan.

This isn't the first time I'm
eating in a campaign table.

It's Sehabettin Pasha then.

That I gave the salary job
to him bothered you, didn't it?

If it's your decision,

...we should never
question, my Sultan.

Actually, what makes me
disturbed is about Mahmud Pasha.

Mahmud Pasha?

Why?

Aren't you satisfied with his
knowledge of politics in this matter?

I can say I didn't know
what you knew, my Sultan.

Do I have permission, my Sultan?

Come in.

Enjoy your meal, my Sultan.

Join us.

Sit.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Mahmud Pasha.

Are you well?

Alright.

Zaganos Pasha speaks concerning
of your knowledge of politics.

My Sultan..

...I respect his experience
as a former grand vizier.

Did he see a fault in
our doings I wonder?

His way..

...is speaking plainly.

Yours is the
mastery of metaphor.

However..

...because he is a victim regarding
Sahabeddin Pasha's matter..

.It is only just that
your way is practiced.

My Sultan..

...you know how
Sahabeddin Pasha..

...tried to blame the
defeat of Belgrade.

That is why, the return
of Zaganos Pasha..

...has worried me a little.

If the reason is Sahabeddin..

...why would Zaganos'
return would worry you?

Because, one can repeat
a mistake, my Sultan.

Sahabeddin Pasha..

...might've wanted to..

...tackle Zaganos Pasha
to cover his mistakes.

Are matters of state
handled on mere suspicion?

Still, as you may know..

...prudence comes before
reliance in the matters of state.

And that is why I wanted
to take such a precaution.

I did not want
uncertainties among us.

Thank Allah, it turned
out to be what I hoped for..

...and peace came between pashas.

How would it be peace then..

...if Zaganos Pasha has spilled
the blood of Sahabeddin Pasha?

And that would not be possible
because of Zaganos Pasha's..

...awareness of unity, my Sultan.

As he is an experienced Pasha.

One that would crush
his nafs for the state.

Do you have anything
to say, Zaganos?

Our Pasha has planned in
accordance with his rank, my Sultan.

It is only fit for us
to say 'eyvallah'..

...once you say it is alright.

Then, let everyone act
based on their duties.

We will act based on
Bahadir Pasha's information.

Enjoy.

My Sultan, will our
march be to Pontus..

...if Bahadir Pasha
inshaallah succeeds”?

Or, if he does not succeed..

...then we will spill
Muslim blood..

...at Karaman?

Food is getting cold.

My Sultan.

Am I allowed?

You.

Have you ever seen someone..

...that is not yet a
man sit on my table?

I am aware now, Sultan father.

And sultans are not mighty
with their wrath, but their mercy.

That is why..

- ...I am here to seek your mercy, my Sultan.
- If I forgive you..

...will you stand by your
word with your greed?

My only greed is..

- ...for my state and my people.
- You're still talking about the state!

Did you call yourself
'Sultan' for your state?!

Did you try to step
on me for your state?!

My Sultan. This is not
the time to show wrath.

Our shahzade has
come to apologise.

While w*r is coming..

...the best thing to do
would be to forgive him.

He is the future..

...of our state as well.

Sultan father. Allow
me to kiss your hand.

Grant me that honor.

I forgive you, so that they won't say
I k*lled my own son before the w*r.

However..

.It is only for now.

You will be dealt with later.

The soup of our shahzade
is ready, my Sultan.

Hold it. Put less spice in it.

As you know, our shahzade
has just started recovering.

Make some fish too,
although he only wanted soup.

His appetite will be in place.

- Daye Hatun.
- Yes, Gulperi Hatun?

Can you bring some green
onions to put aside the fish?

Girls.

Let me fetch it.

You can't put salt in a
boiling soup, Gulperi Hatun.

Welcome, Gulsah Hatun.

There goes the soup.

This is beautiful.

Is it for our shahzade?

They used to put
poison in these rings.

Do you still have the
same tradition, Gulperi?

Do you know?

You made a mistake by allowing
that infidel Pedri into your presence.

Do not make a second
mistake by cooperating with him.

Since when do you
make the call, Ismail?

Know your place.

It seems you forgot the
turk men brotherhood.

Turk men tradition too.

We do not act before
discussing on it.

Discussion..

...is made within bounds.

Look, brother. The
situation is dire.

However..

.It is more dire with those
who are of the same blood.

Ottomans and us are both Kayis.

We both come
from Candarogullari.

If you will make a decision..

...put this fact on your scale..

...and then calculate.

Let Pedri in.

Kasim Bey.

You've lost some weight
since I last saw you.

Thinking too much makes
one sick, or so they say.

That must be why.

However, do not worry.

I am here to rid you
of these thoughts.

That is, if you
continue to support us..

...against Mehmed and
continue cooperating with us.

We do not cooperate
with infidels.

You must be Kasim Bey's brother.

Is that right?

Your brother has not mentioned the
other cooperation we had it seems.

The ambush we planned
to Mahmut Pasha..

...or how we wounded..

...that beautiful child
shahzade Bayezid.

That was necessary back then.

There is no future for it.

Are you sure?

Then, I ask you.

Do you think Mehmed
will pardon you..

...after he marched to Pontus..

...or march on you as well.

Good.

I have my answer.

Our offer is this.

If you facilitate the
passing of Pope's fleet..

...we won't tell
Mehmed what we did.

However, you know otherwise.

You have time to think about it.

Not much, however.

With respect.

You are not thinking
of supporting Pontus..

...and having Mehmed
against us, right, brother?

Pedri speaks truth.

We cannot stay outside..

...when new order
is being formed.

Does the new order means
standing alongside infidels? -No.

Not staying outside the game.

We have to choose a side.

We do not have the strength..

...to act alone. We need
to make new alliances.

This alliance wishes for..

...Turks' blood to be spilled.

Do not fall for this trick.

Do you wish for
anything else, Pasha?

Thank you, Yusuf.

How are you?

We haven't been able to find
a chance to ask for a long time.

I am praying for your
well-being, my Pasha.

I always pray for all the things
you did for me with all my heart.

Astaghfirullah.

Now let's come to the
point, my shahzade.

The ways that lead
to Pontus are here.

This map will be our guide
before we go to the w*r.

It is drawn in detail, Lala.

Because w*r starts
with the map first.

If you know which ways to follow,
you won't have tired your army.

If you know where to
fight, you won't lose the w*r.

And you will gain a victory
on the table before the field.

Did you draw this map?

Attention! Fatih Sultan
Mehmed Khan Hadhrat!

Is my shahzade going
beyond our targets...

...and dreaming of other lands?

My Lala fit the world on this
leather and put it in front of us.

That's why I am surprised.

You are the child of a nation that
cuts continents like a piece of cloth.

Fitting it onto a piece
of leather is something.

But you will fit it under
the shadow of your sword.

And as you have talented
pashas by your side...

...you will hold the
whole world in your hands.

Astaghfirullah my Hunkar.

Without your will, our
talent means nothing.

If you allow me..

I want to take the map
and study it, my Sultan.

I want to learn the places where we will ride
our horses and where we will sh**t our arrows.

But remember, my Mustafa...

Our red apple is the whole world.

Do not limit your dreams...

...with what you
see on this map.

Go now.

Shahzade Mustafa is like
a sapling of a plane tree..

...whose shadow
covers the world.

Right. Sit, Pasha.

The seed belongs to us...

...but the actual talent
belongs to those...

...who water it,
who take care of it.

My Sultan...

You did not entrust
your shahzade to me...

...you granted me a dream.

People want to have children
to leave someone behind...

Children who will
keep their dreams alive.

I was not granted with a
child from my own blood.

But... I was granted a
child on the way I walk.

When I got happy
with his happiness...

...when I felt sad
with his sadness...

...I understood that he was
more than a shahzade to me.

If one of my desires is the well-being
of the state in this mortal world...

...the other one is seeing shahzade
Mustafa succeed before I die.

Do not say it, Pasha.

You will stand
right next to him...

So my Mustafa will walk
on his way without hesitation.

You will see many other days.
Do not even mention death.

Inshaallah. But...

The sun will certainly
set, my Hunkar.

We were born today,
we might die today.

And only Allah knows
what tomorrow will bring us.

Eyvallah. Eyvallah.

Come on now.

Mahmud Pasha.

Attention!

Strengthen the walls!

Make all men in Pontus
work if necessary!

Your majesty.

No matter how much
we strengthen them..

...it is going to
be really difficult.

Even Constantinople's walls...

...could not resist
Mehmed's cannons.

We will resists with our
own cannonballs, Yorgo.

But... we have a
few of them, sir.

I know.

I am waiting for the
Navy that Pope sent.

That Navy and the
weapons they'll bring...

...will be our salvation.

Your majesty. This
letter was sent for you.

Holy relics are the only
way to your salvation.

If you give them to me...

...I Can stop Sultan
Mehmed's march to Pontus.

Vlad Tepes.

How can he think
that we'll trust him?

Because he has
a great advantage.

It is being Sultan
Mehmed's friend.

He has the strength
to do what he says.

How can we know
he is not lying to...

...take the holy relics?

We made an
agreement with the Pope.

He sent the Navy to us
in return for the relics.

We do not need Vlad.

Even Mehmed who
made his ships...

...move on the ground won't be
able to stand against that Navy.

Varna.

The Pope sent Draven...

...and the galleons under his
control to Pontus from here.

But we don't know
which front they will take.

That's why...

Our fleet of three
hundred men...

...was divided into ten parts.

Ten galleons of knights
are not important but...

...if Pontus gets hold
of those weapons...

We might need to
besiege Pontus all winter.

And it will cause
many disasters.

That's why we are
still in Ankara, Pasha.

But we made a tough plan...

...with Bahadir Pasha.

The waters in the black
sea are pitch black...

...but our eyes are the stars.

No matter what wind the
unbelievers set sail with...

...our breath and power
are enough to catch them.

Every lamp of ours is an
eye, every lantern a heart.

Our fire, which
turns night into day...

...will burn them all.

Vira bismillah!

Fire!

Come on, warriors!

Don't disappoint me before Sultan!
Don't disappoint Sultan before the state!

There they are! sh**t the
cannons! Don't leave the deck!

- Gather all the galleys! We'll repel them together.
- Don't do this.

We have to do
this. More will come!

- We can survive only if we gather.
- That's what they want.

Archers, get ready!

Lift the shields!
Repair the holes!

- Come on! Hurry up!
- Come on, come on!

After Bahadir Pasha makes
the heathen galleys gather,

...our Levends
will start attacking.

Heathens who will have
to fight in close combat...

...have no chances
of surviving our wrath.

My Sultan, you said Draven
is Giustiniani's brother.

Obviously, he's seeking
vengeance. He won't give up easily.

Our galleys managed to split up!

But we got late.

The attack on the other
galleys is much harder!

We won't wait for the death.

We should break
through the Ottoman Navy!

How?

Tell the weapon-carrying
galleys to loosen sails sooner!

What? No.

No, Draven! We
can't sacrifice them.

We'll sacrifice them
so that we can live.

Do as I say!

Come on, warriors!

Come on, fighters!

Load the cannons!
Come on, fighters!

Come on, faster!

Come on, warriors! Faster!

Come on!

- They're hitting our ships, Pasha.
- Send the small boats.

Tell the ships waiting in
the other spots to come here.

We can beat them
like this, Pasha.

Galleys are trying to
break through, Pasha!

They cannot go anywhere!

- Tell the ships to follow them!
- Right away, my Pasha!

No!

As you said, all the Navy
units are in the same spot.

In case of an attempt
to break through,

...they can run off.

They cannot go anywhere. And no
Navy can defend them in the black sea.

Come on, come on!

All the Levends in the ships that the
galleys crashed became martyrs, Pasha.

- Come on!
- Turn the ships immediately.

We'll follow the runners.

- Pasha, but...
- Do as I say!

Do as I say! Sails!

Come on, warriors! Come on!

To back! To back!

Come on! Come on!

Nobody can survive
our wrath tonight.

They are following us.

More will come!

They are here!

Here they are.

We cannot run away.

We will die honorably then.

Give it to me.

They are not Ottomans.

Komnenos.

It seems he managed
to convince Isfendiyar.

- Good. I think we're saved.
- Did you hear? We're saved.

- Did we lose anything but the weapon galleys?
- No.

But what Komnenos
wanted was the weapons.

Row, fighters!

Come on, fighters! Faster!

Harder, fighters! Harder!

That's the Navy of Isfendiyar.
What are they doing?

My Pasha, we can't go further.

Or we'll be in the
range of Isfendiyar.

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

My Pasha, if we go any further,
we won't be able to see Sultan again.

Don't do this.

We'll be called martyrs then!

No going back!

This is suicide not
martyrdom, Pasha!

Besides, it's not you but Sultan
Mehmed who owns all these boats.

You cannot...

Remember Baltaoglu Suleyman.

Remember the price of standing before
Sultan with the shame of the defeat!

Pasha, you did what
our Sultan ordered.

First Allah then
we witness you did.

It won't work even
if we follow them.

You know that too.

The plan is perfect, my Sultan.

However, something feels off.

What is it?

Isfendiyeroglu Kasim.

As you know, his strength..

...comes from his fleet.

He has became rich..

...because of the tax he
took from every passing ship.

So you say that,
if he betrays us..

That is why he
does not want us..

...to march against Pontus.

As you know,
his trade will halt.

I fear that he will
make a mistake.

I do not think that Kasim
Bey will betray our Sultan.

He does not have the courage.

He spoke ill of our
shahzade as well.

He made up for it, Pasha.

Besides, our Sultan..

...has granted him the
honor to be his relative.

No business can be made
with relatives, Zaganos Pasha.

Our Sultan's brother-in-law is
Karamanoglu Ibrahim Bey also.

What he did is apparent.

Do you have any other relative of mine
that you'd like to address, Mahmud Pasha?

Astaghfirullah, my Sultan.

Isfendiyar Kasim.

If he fell into that
pit of treachery..

...he will burn in that pit.

If my brother-in-law
Karamanoglu Ibrahim..

...his turn will also come.

It will.

Everyone shall know that..

.It doesn't matter
if it is my relative..

...of even my
pashas that seek ill..

...their end is apparent.

The fleet of Ottomans..

...that even chains
could not best..

...has fallen..

...against our wrath.

Isn't this a victory..

...fit for the rulers of seas,
Isfendiyarogullari, brother?

Sometimes, a Victor is a
soon-to-be defeated in this road.

- Brother.
- What does that mean?

We just became
relatives with them.

Not only we refused
their alliance..

...but we also ambushed
them and allied with infidels.

Politics does not have..

...infidels or muslims.

If we had not defeated them..

...they would've defeated us.

And now what?

Is this better now?

We are the same blood.

You call this politics..

...however, this will
be seen as treachery.

That's enough!

We are in the fog.

You either be a hunter
or be hunted here.

We chose to be hunters.

And when hunters decide to act..

...they do not count
those in the herd.

Ismail.

Ismail! I am calling you!

What are you doing here, Gulsah?

I was waiting for you.

Come, sit.

How is our shahzade? Is he well?

Yes, thank Allah.

What about Gulperi Hatun?

They are well, inshaallah.

They're well.

Are you here to
question me, Gulsah?

It seems something troubles you.

What I am about to tell
you will not make you happy.

What is that?

It belongs to Gulperi.

And why do you have it?

I saw her at the kitchen today.

She was making a
soup for our shahzade.

I watched her from afar.

She was putting some
things inside the soup.

It must be salt
or spices, Gulsah.

She was preparing
soup for my Bayezid.

I wouldn't be
here if it was salt.

She spilled the whole
thing after seeing me.

I think she put..

...poison in it.

Poison, you say.

The soup is ready, my Valide.

Did you put enough
poison, my daughter?

If there is something
poisonous here...

...it's only your words, Gulsah.

You are trying to cause fitna
between me and my daughter in law.

I will assume you
did not do this.

But do not do it again.

Suleyman!

Didn't I tell you to be
careful about this task?

"Infidels never show mercy...

Do not give them a chance.”

Didn't I tell you that?!

Forgive me, my Sultan...

Do you think you
can be forgiven?!

Do you think you can expect
mercy after what you did?!

May your gaza be
mubarak, Bahadir Pasha.

Can it be mubarak...

...if we fail, Kurtcu Agha?

Our Hunkar will appreciate
your efforts, of course.

Captain Pasha Baltaoglu
Suleyman also made an effort.

But he could not stop the
galleons coming to Constantinople.

What he received in return
was not appreciation...

It was furor.

You let me down, Suleyman!

Our sail mast was broken.

The wind did not help us.

Our ship was damaged.

A big storm is waiting for us.

Only Allah knows
what will happen.

My Sultan...

We have placed a fleet that can cross the
seas and move over land at your disposal.

Now answer me.

How did the enemies corner
you in the sea, Bahadir?

Nothing was wrong
in our order, my Sultan.

We even sank two galleons
loaded with ammunition into the sea.

You sank two galleons.

But eight galleons of
knights have defeated you.

Eight galleons of knights...

...defeated you and passed!

Couldn't I give you a fleet
that's able to stop eight galleons?

- Am I in the wrong?
- I would never say that, my Sultan.

Were levents not brave enough?

They also did nothing wrong.

What happened then,
Bahadir? What happened?!

My Sultan... we
all did our best.

But... we couldn't know...

...how they would to
their treacherous moves.

What does that mean?

We were about to
k*ll all the knights...

...but we were attacked from
a place we never expected.

Who would do
that, Bahadir Pasha?

Who would attack our
fleet in the black sea?

Isfendiyaroglu Kasim Bey.

The fleets that set sail from the
port of stoop stood in our way.

The galleons of knights saw
that as an opportunity and passed.

As he was given the
chance to be your relative...

...he said he did not
want to be on a side but...

...what he did is not being
on a side, it is betrayal.

Lift your head.

Lift your head.

You are not the one who
needs to bow his head...

Traitors who have stained
their honor must bow their heads.

You showed your bravery.

Now our duty...

...is to cut those stained
heads off with our swords.

It is to crush them
with our mace.

It is also good that we sank some
of their ammunition, my Sultan.

With the ammunition they have...

...they cannot defend
the city of Pontus.

Now the golden doors
for the w*r are open.

You are right, my Pasha. But...

...we must take eight galleons
of knights into consideration.

Especially when Draven
is commanding them.

Now..

...even if they send all the soldiers they
have in their lands, they won't have a chance.

Groom our horses...

...sharpen our swords...

...tell our valiants
to get ready.

There is no obstacle on
the way to the b*ttlefield now!

Tomorrow, our blessed
march will begin.

And with Allah's permission...

...our swords of conquest...

...will Pierce the
gates of Pontus!

Inshaallah.

How could you fall for
Ottoman fleet's trap?

How could you let them sink all
the cannonballs and weapons?

Do you see those
knights, emperor?

They are the merciless, the
strongest warriors of Europe.

Do not be upset because
of the weapons we lost.

Sultan Mehmed...

...has the strongest
cannonballs.

Can you tell me? How
are you going to stop him...

...with only these knights?

The power we have is enough...

...to protect Pontus and
to repel Mehmed's army.

As someone who
was defeated before...

...you are really
confident, dear Notus.

The weapons and the
ammunition were important for us.

That's what we agreed
on with the Pope.

But you...
- I don't care about your agreement with the Pope.

I am here to
protect your city...

...and take my brother
Giustiniani's revenge.

And everyone will see
how I am going to do that.

I have never heard
you lost a w*r, Draven.

I hope it is not going
to be different here.

Trust in people who
know what w*r is, emperor.

The result will bring victory.

Your majesty. Why?

Why do you trust him so much?

Why are you so worried?

Sir... once Sultan Mehmed learns that
the cannonballs and the weapons are gone...

...he will attack us.

You see the knights...

These are not ordinary soldiers.

Sir... Sultan Mehmed...

...defeated many warriors
like them in Constantinople.

And that great city fell because it couldn't
resist Mehmed's weapons. Did you forget?

What do you
expect us to do then?

We cannot ask for new weapons
and ammunition from the Pope.

We just...

...nave one weapon.

Although it does
not feel right..

...it's Vlad Tepes.

- Do you think we should send the holy relics to him?
- Sir..

He is the only person who can
convince Mehmed for a w*r in Karaman.

And he is our only chance.

My shahzade.

Come, vizier.

Mehmed's armies
are behind that hill.

They can attack anytime.

And Karamanoglu lands..

...are on duty of fear.

It is not fit for us to be
in this situation, vizier.

If they listened to me, this
wouldn't have happened.

I'm asking you. Tell me.

You're right, my shahzade.

Our hope lies with you.

- However, you mentioned yourself as Sultan..
- Was that bad?

Ibrahim Bey..

Her..
..My fat

...is no longer a Sultan
fit for Karamanoglu.

He is on the throne
for nearly forty years.

Ottomans has expanded
all around in forty years..

...and we couldn't
even take forty steps.

You speak truth.
We need a leader.

A bent bow can
not sh**t straight.

We need to break the bow first.

Do you plan to
overthrow Sultan Ibrahim?

It is not about throne.
It is about the state.

Now, listen to me well, vizier.

If this order continues..

...our home will be
stepped on by Ottomans.

May Allah prevent, we
will draw Ottoman banners.

This state will either
prevail with me..

.Or it will be destroyed
by my father's hands.

You have my support.

However, will the
soldiers listen to you?

My valiants!

Our grandfather Oguz han..

...has seen the skies as his
tent and the sun as his banner!

He swore to defeat
everyone who stand in his way!

His own father tried
to stop him at times!

However, he drew his sword..

...against his father
for their grand goal!

I am Karamanoglu Suleyman!

Now, I ask you..

...are you ready to
follow me to where I go..

...for our future and
our grand goal?!

You wanted to see me, my Khan?

Samil Bey.

- Cepnis live close to the land of Isfendiyar, right?
- Right, my Khan.

Our honorable ancestor
Kasgarli Mahmud,

...in the book of divan-I
Lugatut turk, states...

...that Cepni means the
one who hits the enemy.

- We live to be worthy of that, my Khan.
- Good.

Your heroic actions in Rumelia, the black sea
and all the others parts of the Ottoman state...

...are kept in my
heart and mind.

But now it's time
for another one.

Order is for you.

Reputation is for Cepni.

And victory is for Allah.

Then prepare the best warriors
and the strongest horses, Samil Bey.

Take wings for your horses
and Valiant fighters with you.

- Strike as a lighting and be a storm!
- As you order, my Khan.

Which enemy will
we hit this time?

The land of Isfendiyar.

Kasim Bey will face the same
fate that the traitors should face.

Go ahead.

As mighty Hunkar orders.

Are you able to read, Yorgo?

Your majesty, not
everyone can read this.

But I thought their
holiness could help us.

Its power doesn't
come only from reading.

Owning it gives us
enough power as well.

And that they are
going to go to Pope...

...offends me, your majesty.

For such a little support.

Maybe it would be better to send them to
someone who can provide us enough power.

Vlad Tepesh?

Yes. Unfortunately, he
seems to be our only option.

However, a part of
my heart is so uneasy.

I mean... giving all of these
to muslims instead of Pope...

It's valuable only if it
can protect my city, Yorgo.

It doesn't matter whether
Pope or muslims have them.

How can we reach him? I mean...
Vlad is in Mehmed's army camp.

You will reach him, Yorgo.

You are going to the camp.

Forgive me, your
majesty. I don't understand.

You are going to appear
before Mehmed as a messenger.

You are going to present
our former taxes and gifts.

If Mehmed isn't convinced,

...you will contact Vlad then.

Soldier of Walachia!

You can't drop the sword!

Get out of my sight!

If you disgrace me during
the campaign like this,

...I will impale all of you!

I will impale you!

Is the desire of battle making
you so ambitious, Voivode?

- Welcome, captain.
- Thanks.

Well... you made Pope's knights
sink in the sea and got the taste.

I envy you.

Well... tradition says we
should never avoid the fight.

First move is yours. Come on.

Sultan Mehmed got
furious about the relics.

I can cool him
down. Don't worry.

I told you not to sail
into the unknown waters.

You have got dragged in the
storm but are still trying to row.

My ship isn't
sinking yet, captain.

I have a long way to go.

This ambition of
yours will capsize you.

Just give up.

Otherwise, you will lose
both yourself and your friends.

I never avoid being capsized
for my friends, captain.

If I'm to do something, I will do it
for my friends despite my friends.

The flood of the bloody
up rise will be too harsh.

Not swords but fate
decides who drowns.

I'm sure, mother.

The minds of my white-bearded
viziers are with me.

I also have the
prayers of my mother.

And I'm holding my sword
that has taken many lives.

Now I hope the wind of my fate
will make my flag wave in the air.

And the crown of the state
will land on my head like a bird.

So I can teach impertinent
Ottomans their place.

Give me your pardon in
this world and qiyamah.

May Allah help you, son.

An Ibrahim will die...

...and a thousand
more will be born.

Just to make the state prevail.

Attention!

This is the land of Ottomans!

No non-muslims
can ride a horse here.

And nobody can appear
before Sultan with a sword.

Only you.

But we have brought the taxes
and valuable gifts for the Sultan.

If our Sultan desires,

...he will order you to bring.

Only you.

Messenger of Pontus is
here, mighty grand vizier.

Welcome, Yorgo Amerutses.

Angelovic.

Is this how you
welcome your cousin?

Mahmud Pasha.

Grand vizier of
the Ottoman state.

Regent of Sultan Mehmed Khan.

Being a grand vizier for a
sovereign like Sultan Mehmed...

I'm happy for you.

I hope you are a
competent messenger.

Because the sovereign you're going to
see shortly is like no other sovereigns.

We have brought the taxes
and valuable gifts for the Sultan.

As well as the wish of alliance
from the emperor of Pontus.

And I'm sure that the grand
vizier, who is my cousin,

...will help me.

Both of us are required to do
the best for our own countries.

As you know, love for no human beings can
be greater than the loyalty for the state.

Accompany the messenger.

Get his head down.

You will keep your head
down before our Sultan.

You cannot look
into Sultan's eyes.

My Sultan.

Yorgo Amerutses, the
messenger of Pontus empire,

...wants to appear before you.

Let him in.

I salute your grand audience..

...with all my respect..

Sultan Mehmed han.

It is 'Fatih Sultan Mehmed han'.

Hadhrat Fatih Sultan Mehmed han.

Be done with the salutations.

What does that
infidel David wants?

Our emperor David
Komnenos wishes for peace.

What does he want again?

Peace.

We always wish
for peace as well.

Then, let us hear it.

I present valuable gifts
along with our delayed taxes.

- Alright.
- Also..

...our good intentions
are a sign of peace.

If you see fit..

Hold it there.

I do not want to hear the rest.

We do not have
trouble with Ottoman.

Our intention is
not to show enmity.

- The terms of the agreement..
- I told you to hold it.

Didn't you hear?

Do you think we are blind
and our state is a fool?

It seems you not only
inherited history from Byzantine.

But also trickery.

I know the tricks you've
played and the traps you've set.

The secret alliances
you've made..

...will only delay your end.

Your end will be
no different from..

...the decayed and
treacherous Byzantine.

You will fade away..

...like Constantinople.

Pontus is not like Byzantine.

We have mighty
mountains, narrow passages..

...strong castles and walls.

Also, Hadhrat Pope..

...will support us.

Just like that,
get to the point.

All christians..

...will be one single fist.

There were other turk sultans
who wished to take Pontus.

However, they all failed.

Quit using the tongue of
threat, Sultan Mehmed han.

I am not powerless
to threaten you.

Our might is well known
all across the world.

I am speaking with the tongue
that turned 'Iconium" into 'Konya'..

"And'sangafios' into 'Sakarya'.

Don't tell them I
didn't warn you.

I am coming, like a storm
that sweeps everything away.

Make your preparations.

If you have the honor..

...get out on the
field when we come.

Just as how Constantinople
became 'Islambol'..

...1rapezuntios
will be 'Trabzon'.

Now, you are with Pontus.

It will be a land of Turks.

Trabzon will be a fearless..

...bold land of Turks.

And about you.

You will fall and leave.

As when Turks wear the storm..

...not even the world can stand..

...in their way,
let alone Pontus.

So you're leaving, brother.

Sultan commanded personally.

I wouldn't have left otherwise.

The emperor of the world.

Sultan of sultans.

Hadhrat Fatih
Sultan Mehmed han..

- ...what did he say?
- To hold the borders.

To stand firm..

...if infidels attack
from behind.

Wallah our Sultan spoke truth.

So, it is an important duty.

Very important.

If Sultan's duty is
the most important..

- ...my duty comes second.
- Allah Allah!

Sahan. You drink some soup..

...and tell people like
you've had a steak.

You're not telling people..

...that Kurtcu Agha
kicked you out..

- ...and just making stuff up.
- What making stuff up?

If you do not
believe, ask Sultan.

To the Sultan?
Look my brother here.

He does not accept anything
but Sultan's word, mashallah.

Don't do this Sahan.
We're both Muslim here.

Didn't Ishak Pasha kicked
you out of his troops?

Not only that.

My brother told me he did not want to
see me again, at least above the ground.

What did he say?

He told me he did not want to see
me again, at least above the ground.

Then you will get
under the ground.

Am I going to die? -You are not.

You are going to live...
But if you can call it a life.

You are in trouble, Sahan...

May it be blessed.

Nothing except the shadow of the cross that
you are trying to get rid of will save you.

Besides...

...didn't you come here to
take shelter in our shadow...

...Kasim Bey?

You wanted co-operation,
and I did as you said.

I did not stand against Mehmed
to hear your sarcastic words.

We cannot say that you
did it for our own good.

Right?

A wise politician saw
what was coming...

...and found himself an ally.

That's all.
- So that you admit we are allies...

...then you will stand next
to me against Mehmed.

He is about to send
his troops on me.

The Janissaries?

No. His Akinjis.

You failed in your
last duty, right, Notus?

I am giving you another chance.

I hope you will
succeed this time.

Don't worry.

You can be sure
that I will do my best.

Of course, if a sword like
Draven comes with me.

You see, Kasim Bey...

We are doing our
best to help you.

Don't worry. We
will hunt Mehmed...

...when he is out hunting.

After we cross the river,
we will get in Zigana.

Then until we reach
Trabzon, we will never stop.

Inshaallah.

May I come in, my Pasha?

Come in, Atmaca.

As you ordered, I
brought Basat, my Pasha.

If you allow me,
I will let him in.

You, as anatolian Qadiaskers...

...you will take the
necessary measures.

You called me,
grand vizier Hadhrat.

Come. Come closer.

Come, my Valiant.

We were talking about the w*r.
About the route we will follow.

And you have been looking for...

...the holy relics in the lands
of Pontus for a long time.

I will tell you
all the things...

No. Thank you, my Valiant. We
handled everything about the route.

Tell me what you know
about the holy relics.

As I told our
Sultan, my Pasha...

Vlad Tepes found the holy
relics, but he fell into their traps.

I guess you spent a lot
of time with Vlad there.

Have you ever suspected Vlad?

At first, I have.

I have, but then he
showed his loyalty.

He never showed me
otherwise until the task was over.

Good.

Good. Good.

What about you?

Are you as loyal as
Vlad in your tasks?

Forgive me, grand vizier
Hadhrat. I don't understand.

There, you fell in love
with martalos' niece. Marta

I am asking you if you can keep
two things in your heart, my Valiant.

I mean, what if you get stuck in
between your companions in a duty...

...and your loved
ones in the future.

Of course... of course I would choose
my duty and my companions my Pasha.

That's what we were raised for.

But you cannot always make
your heart listen, my Valiant.

You saw the situation of
our Sultan's shahzade...

...and what he did for his love.

If I could not make my heart
listen, I wouldn't be here.

I would stay there
to save Irena.

That's the issue.

A smile of a woman
in the b*ttlefield...

...defeats the glow of a sword.

A weakness of a Valiant might
put the army in a hard situation.

We cannot let that happen.

That's why you will stay
here, at the quarters...

...under Evrenesoglu's
command, Basat.

Grand vizier Hadhrat... -Go now.

Go. Go.

Valiants, who become
mountains when they gather...

...and who become
sanjaks when they get up!

It is time to wake up from
the sleep of carelessness.

From now on...

...until the fate belongs
to Karamanoglus...

...and the throne belongs
to Karamanoglu Suleyman...

...we will all
protect each other.

And now our swords will speak.

Our swords will
make the decisions.

Our swords...

...will rule.

May it bring luck.

What is happening?
- It's a trap, sir.

Who are you?

Where are you?

- Vlad?!
- Yes, Vlad.

Why are you so surprised?

I saw your message and
came to the place you told me to.

Why are you surprised?

Why are you
k*lling the soldiers?!

Bad habit. I do not
leave witnesses.

Since you're here, it means
Komnenos has accepted my proposal.

- Yes.
- Holy relics?

Is this?

Pantokrator is here.
And barnabas?

You will have it once
you keep your promise.

Are you playing games with me?

I will stop the whole march.

Is this the only
thing you're giving?

You will have them all..

...once you keep your promise.

If we played trickery,
you wouldn't get this.

Are you aware of the holiness..

...of the things you will get?

I am cooperating with you..

...against a man..

...whom I call brother.

Am I being clear here.

Because you are
a Christian, Vlad.

And you should not be
under Ottoman shadow.

You should rise along
with these holy relics.

However, you must do..

...what we say for that.

I will stop the march
before you return to Pontus.

However, if I
sense any trickery..

If we sense a
trickery also, Vlad..

.It will not be good for you!

Sure.

The tents of Sipahis
are gathered, my Hunkar.

- Tents of volunteers will be done by morning.
- Alright.

I do not wish for any
shortcomings, Pasha.

Do not worry, my Hunkar.

My Hunkar..

...maybe we should leave some of
the men here, for a while at least.

Why is that?

Zaganos Pasha speaks true.

The danger of
Karaman is not over yet.

It is not certain if they
will attack us from behind.

My Sultan, the messengers of Karaman
are here. They want to appear before you.

Just like you said, Pasha.

What should we do?

We should host the messenger is a tent.
He should see you tomorrow, my Sultan.

The later he finds out that the campaign
will be on Pontus, the better it is.

You're right.

- Tell them to take care of him.
- As you order, my Hunkar.

My shahzade.

Don't shed any brother's blood.

Arrest him.

Do not k*ll.

- What's going on, my shahzade?
- Move aside.

Vizier, this way.
Come on, fighters.

Sultan is sleeping
in his chamber.

He has never wanted to wake up.

Vizier.

Fighters, you wait here.

This is a fight
between father and son.

You'll wait in this tent.

We have important things to say.

Why do you keep us waiting?

As you see, we're on a campaign.

For this reason, you will see
our Sultan when he is available.

Glory be to you.

There is no god except you.

Protect us from the
flames of hell, my Allah.

- My Allah...
- Ibrahim Bey.

Ibrahim Bey.

What are you doing, Suleyman?

I'm looking for
my fate in the dark,

...my crown with stars...

...and my golden throne.

They are not for sale.
So you cannot buy.

Things are different now.

No exchange, father.

Are you so blinded by the ambition of power
that you want to drink your own father's blood?

If my father sets his eyes on
the future of my nation and state,

...I will even set
my eyes on his life.

Even as a kid,
you were reckless.

Yet you knew
nothing about politics.

You are still the same, son.

You never think of
the consequences.

Like father like son.

Well...

This is the fate my father
has prepared for me.

Don't worry.

If this world isn't ruled
with swords but politics,

...I can keep up, evelallah.

Did you think you
would be successful...

...just because you exchanged letters
with Pontus and greetings with Akkoyunlu?

- I did more. Don't worry, Ibrahim Bey.
- What did you do?

Did they give you
an army and soldiers?

They gave me life and blood.
What more can I expect?

Whose blood? What life?

Julia.

- Julia?
- That's right.

Just to be able to have
good politics with me,

...Komnenos k*lled his own
daughter with his own sword.

Didn't Bayezid do that?

You don't see what is
in front of your eyes...

...but try to teach me politics.

Father, Pontus
did it and I knew it.

And you bought the story.

At times, I suffered.

At times, I made
the others suffer.

In the cradle, I heard the
lullabies about the politics.

I witnessed many betrayals.

And many traitors.

Yet I never thought...

...my own son
would confront me...

...with such an evil plan.

What are you doing? This is
about the welfare of the state!

As Dede Korkut told the story,
the door lock never works...

...when the traitor is inside.

You will pay the price of setting me
up and collaborating with Pontus...

...with your life, Suleyman.

I'm your only heir.

You can't k*ll me.

I'd rather my kin would vanish than grow
bigger with the blood of such a demon!

Mehmed's army are at your gate.

You need me and my mind.

You can't k*ll me.

I knew about your
treason long ago.

My messengers already told
Mehmed about the situation.

The peace has been provided.

This is the end
for you, Suleyman.

I know it's urgent but
Sultan won't see you.

Our information is more important
than what he's dealing with.

We have to see them immediately.

- He's sent me.
- We have information for Sultan not you.

Alright then.

As you wish. My Sultan..

...will march to Karaman
tomorrow morning, we will learn.

Hold on!

Our Sultan wishes to
make peace with you.

As all matters came
under the doings of..

.Shahzade Suleyman and
Pontus emperor Komnenos.

That is why he does not wish for
turk and Muslim blood to be spilled.

And he accepts to give Sultan
Mehmed the head of his own son.

Respect.

Truly, your ruler is a
Sultan of remarkable insight.

My Sultan will be glad
to hear these news.

And I am certain that
he will change his mind.

Inshaallah.

Now, you go on your way. I
will tell the news to my Sultan.

However, without
knowing the answer..

Your work here is done.

I can handle the rest.

Fatih Sultan Mehmed han
will not march toward Karaman.

Wait for my news.

You Karamans..

...really have the skill.

You make great daggers.

And I accept this as a
token of our friendship.

Be on your way at once..

...and send good
news to your ruler.

Your swords are outside.

Are Akinjis on their way?

Yes, Pasha.

Alright. What about Basat?

- He didn't go, did he?
- He didn't, my Pasha.

He is with Evrenesoglu
and Bali Bey.

Alright. One matter dealt with.

Now, the second.

What is it, my Pasha?

Politics on our backs
and w*r on our front.

Who knows, Atmaca.

I do not understand, my Pasha.

Go to Sahabeddin Pasha's
tent. Tell him to come here.

Let no disturbance stay
among us at the time of w*r.

As you command, my Pasha.

- May Allah accept your prayers, Pasha.
- Aameen, inshaallah.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Yes, Basat?

Come here, sit.

What troubles you?

It will burn more as
you hold it inside you.

Say it, so you may relieve.

My brothers are
heading to duty, Ali Bey.

And here I am sitting.

Tell me..

...does an Akinji have a
lover other than his sword?

I am not a child
to not know that.

These two are
different things, Basat.

Mahmud Pasha is not wrong.

A pair of eyes can separate..

...where a sword can't.

You can't understand
unless you see it.

Whether your
lover is your wife..

...of your wound.

Don't do this, Ali Bey.

It is already done.

There was a Valiant among
us, we called him 'Yalman'.

Forty enemies could
not bend his wrist...

...and a hundred infidels
could not defeat him.

Time passed and...

...he fell in love
with a beautiful girl.

For the one he loved
he travelled roads...

...and crossed mountains.

I must be honest, he would
not stand back from w*r...

...or be afraid because
he loved someone. But...

But?

In one raid we suffered a heavy ambush.
The enemies surrounded us on all sides.

We thought it was
the infidels' plan.

For a while we talked about
how we had fallen into that trap.

In the end it turned out the
matter was entirely different.

- Did Yalman betray you?
- It was neither betrayal...

...nor treachery. He had
been defeated by love.

They had taken the girl
hostage and made Yalman speak.

Are we men who would do such a thing,
Ali Bey? Would we make such a mistake?

Have we not fought together in Nemce,
in the Balkans and in many other battles?

Then go to Mahmud Pasha...

...and tell him.
Let him see your determination.

I should go to Mahmud Pasha.

Or I will not be able to
put the fire in my heart out.

If you allow me, Ali Bey.

My Pasha!

Come in! -My Pasha!

Come in!

Vlad, what is happening?!
- Come, keep your hand here!

Keep your hand here!

Vlad... my Pasha!
Vlad, who did this?!

Karaman did this.
- Karaman?! Who would dare doing this?!

You k*lled him! You k*lled him!

My Pasha! My Pasha!

Everything is for my Sultan.

Mahmud Pasha...

Can I come in?

Mahmud Pasha!

My Pasha...

My Pasha...

Mahmud Pasha?

Basat?

Mahmud Pasha'!

My Valiant... my Pasha!

My Pasha! My Pasha!

Mahmud Pasha! Help!

Help Aghas! Help beys!

They stabbed Mahmud Pasha!

My Pasha! Mahmud Pasha!

Mahmud Pasha!

They stabbed Mahmud
Pasha! Be careful!

Most of the tents are packed, my Sultan.
- Good.

What is happening?

My Sultan! My Sultan!

How dare you?!

My Sultan... grand vizier
Mahmud Pasha and...

...Basat from Karatugs...
