[MEHMED: SULTAN OF CONQUESTS]

The story and characters in this series are
inspired by history and have been dramatized.

No living creature was harmed
during the filming of this series.

O Allah, the Opener of Doors,
open for us the best of doors.

Amen.

"EPISODE 68"

In the name of Allah, we open
the Shura Council session.

The key to all doors,
and the origin of all goals, is prayer.

So what do we need to overcome the rough
paths and solve the problems we face?

My Hunkar...

The words you mentioned all stem
from one root, which is conquest.

Therefore, there must
be a clear opening...

And there must be a Fatih
who holds its reins.

This world is but a long road.

The conquests on this
path are a noble goal.

And love beats in our hearts.

How many hardships and
trials we faced on this path!

Some of them were from our
lineage and followed the path of vice,

And some of them were from
our blood and betrayed their origin.

Attack!

Allah is great!

Have we not made them taste
the consequences of their actions?

Thank Allah.

Those walls that the armies
of the world were unable...

To breach, and the seas
that were bound by chains.

Peace be upon you, O martyrdom.

I have come.

Did we not subdue the barren land and shake
the blue sky with the passion of conquest?

Those remaining ruins
of ancient Rome...

And a swamp of unbelief that
overflows with darkness.

Brother!

Oh Allah!

Didn't we place the seal of the Muslim Turk
on it and fill it with the light of faith?

They say that whoever has a great mountain,
his battles with foxes never end.

The mountain we rely on
is our supreme cause.

But...

The high mountain peaks
are always filled with clouds.

Our case is similarly
difficult and arduous.

And the meeting point
of those rugged paths...

It is Bosnia.

It's a knot that's getting
more complicated.

Day after day, the oppression is
tightening its grip on the oppressed.

Day after day,
the oppression becomes worse.

It is a knot that bleeds the wound of
brotherhood in our hearts day after day.

And now, only one key will
untie this knot: the sword.

The Shura Council session has begun
and the doors have been closed, Ali Bey.

I have come to the Sultan
with important news.

This is extremely important news
that opens all closed doors.

If the sword cuts only once...

The mind cuts off a thousand times.

This conquest destroyed the enemy
with sharp intelligence and sound judgment.

The upcoming conquests will be those
in which the sword will have the final say.

Insha'Allah.

My Sultan, Evrenosoglu
Ali Bey requests to appear...

Before you, for he has
brought important news.

Let him in.

-I hope it is for the best, Insha'Allah.
-Insha'Allah.

Excuse me, my Sultan, if
the matter were not important...

I would not have stopped
the Shura Council.

-What's up, Ali Bey?
-The news came from our spies in Bosnia.

The Hungarians...

The Hungarian King Mattias.

He sent an army to support Bosnia.

A vast army, too numerous
for the earth or the sky to contain.

And a force that crushes
mountains to pieces.

Here are all the details
about their numbers...

Their strength and equipment.

It appears that the
great crusading alliance...

Established by the Pope has borne fruit.

The Hungarians have united
with the Bosnians.

My Hunkar, our plan was limited
to Bosnia alone.

But now we are facing
a formidable Crusader alliance!

Our path was difficult, and now it has
become thousands of times more difficult!

He is right, my Sultan.

"BOSNIA CASTLE"

I convey to you the greetings
of the King of Hungary,

Hunyadi Matthias, and
his wishes for friendship.

Your king's gesture of friendship
is truly magnificent.

But I hope it's not limited to that.

There are tens of thousands
waiting outside.

King Matthias will receive
a full reward for this friendship.

And when we defeat Mehmed, he will have
avenged his father Hunyadi Janus as well.

Our going to w*r depends
on your fulfilling the agreement.

You must provide for all
the needs of our soldiers.

The Pope has given assurances
to our king in this regard.

Don't worry, you will receive
enough money and provisions.

As for shelter, you
will settle in the villages...

That were evacuated
by the Bogomilians.

There are no more
Bosnians here anymore.

There are no Hungarians.

There, only...

Christian heroes whose hearts beat
for one goal and one goal only.

This goal is to uproot the Ottomans
from the heart of Europe.

And this will happen.

With our swords, which were
blessed by the Most High Pope.

Long live the Pope!

Long live the Pope!

Long live the Pope!

Didn't we crush those Crusaders
and the Pope...

In Varna and Kosovo?

What kind of audacity is it that drives
them to stand before us again?

It appears that King Matthias
is seeking revenge for his father.

But revenge blinds the eyes
and leads one to a deep abyss.

That abyss into which they are
blindly rushing in their vengeance...

Will make them a lesson for
those who would learn from it.

-Insha'Allah.
-Insha'Allah, my Sultan.

Excuse me, my Sultan...

If we had gone out for the
campaign at the right time,

What was mentioned
would have been easier.

And how do you know, Pasa?

Perhaps every day we wait for brings us
one step closer to a triumphant victory.

Forgive me, my Hunkar.

But they are concentrating in Bosnia
in large numbers day by day.

They are taking all necessary
defensive measures.

We are talking about tens of
thousands of Hungarian soldiers.

And how will they support
those thousands of Hungarians?

Wouldn't it require
tons of gold and supplies?

Yes, my Hunkar.

In my estimation, the Kingdom of Bosnia
has the connections to secure that.

They have it. They must have it.

But we are not oblivious
to our measures either.

Thank Allah, our insight and strength
are sufficient to suppress the enemies.

All the jars are full, my Bey.

Well done, my hero.

You will be held accountable for this.

Oguz, close her mouth!

Beware!

Beware!

Ali Bey.

Praise be to Allah we have dealt
another blow to the infidels.

-Our Sultan's intuition was correct, Pasa.
-Yes.

At the same place and time.

Allah forbid, if all this
gold fell into the hands of the infidels,

Our situation would become very difficult.

Pasha, we have the gold, but...

What are we going to do
with this infidel woman?

Our Sultan Mehmed is the one
who will hold her accountable.

In summary, Queen Katherina, Queen of
Bosnia, was captured by Bahadir Pasa.

My Hunkar, while we struggle
to resolve a knot here...

You had delivered a blow
that took their breath away.

Since the gold and Katherina are in
our hands, they have lost their lifeline.

Yes.

What we need to do now is clear.

Patience and waiting.

Patience?

My Sultan, their wings
have been broken and...

They are helpless, so why should
we be patient anymore?

The fire of revenge that burns
in your chest shows in your eyes.

But...

Beware of falling into the blindness
of revenge as King Matthias did.

Ishak.

Yes, my Sultan.

The passion for victory burns
brightly in your heart.

I know it is the passion
of the first victory...

You will achieve in the position
of Grand Vizier, but...

If you don't learn to curb that passion...

It will lead to defeat.

Allah forbid, my Hunkar.

-Dogan Pasa.
-Yes, my Hunkar.

I see the longing to the edge of
the sword stirring in your heart.

It longs to be a fearless wolf
in fierce battles, but...

If you rush in before you see the
wolves disguised in sheep's clothing,

You will become the prey.

The gold and grain they
have will not be enough for them,

And they will turn against each other.

While we sharpen our swords,
they will destroy each other.

Insha'Allah.

Time will pass and bring them misfortune.

The rope they tied to hinder us will
be wrapped around their own necks.

And when our time comes, we will deliver
the final blow with the swords of conquest.

Over their heads!

"BOSNIA - BOGOMILIAN VILLAGE"

You will settle in the house
we point out to you.

Since these villages have been allocated
to us, we will settle wherever we wish.

Do as you are told.

Get out of here!

The Hungarians have already
started to disturb our peace.

We will wait until the time comes
for our w*r with Mehmed.

The gold and supplies
have not yet arrived.

And if we do not feed them,
we will not be able to restrain them.

Queen Katherina is almost here.
Don't worry.

I hope so.

Otherwise, these men we have called
upon for support will bring about our end.

Don't lose hope.

We have forged a strong alliance.

We will eliminate Sultan Mehmed
and his army in the mountains of Bosnia.

Where did Katherina stay?

"ISLAMBOL"

Did you come here to stand
there so silently?

Speak up!

What's wrong with you?

You must have heard about the
ship that sank the Archipelago, brother.

What next?

That ship was
carrying spices for us.

When the storm turned it upside
down, we were left helpless.

We became empty-handed.

We put all our money
into that merchandise.

In conclusion, our
situation is deplorable.

What is your intention?

Say that.

I don't know if
you have all of that.

But we need a lot of money.

Slow down a little, wanderer!

The money we have is not
owned by Nisanci himself.

How many coins do you need?

Tell me that.

We need a thousand coins, brother.

Consider it done, gentlemen.

But...

Your debt will be to me...

Two thousand coins.

Isn't this too much, brother?

Stop complaining.

It's up to you.

We are finding a solution for the ship
that was battered by the winds...

And you're crying in front of me.

Okay, brother.

You can have whatever you want.

When will we receive the money?

I will send you news.

Then you come to collect it.

Go on, leave now.

Keep the matter secret.

Okay.

What did you do, Maksud Agha?

You came like a storm
that sweeps away ships,

But where would we
get a thousand coins?

We don't have it, but...

Someplace has it.

Let's send news to the Legion.

Let Irfan come.

What does Irfan have to do with this?

Just listen to me.

We're going to make
a lot of money, gentlemen.

A lot!

Let's see then.

Is this how life goes on, Rustem Agha?

We were born in the Legion.

We grew up in the Legion.

And we will die in the Legion, too.

Human destiny must change.

One must strive, Agha!

If there is no luck in the outcome,
then there is no benefit in striving.

Here comes Huseyin's follower.

Huseyin Agha says that the supplies
have not reached the kitchen.

The novice boys did not
attend the training.

Your battalion was the one
that took care of these matters.

These things were going on in
the Legion even in your absence.

It'll proceed in your presence as well.

I'm not in a good mood to begin with.

Don't force me to discipline you!

Go!

I wish you hadn't said that, Agha.

He will now go quickly
to tell Huseyin Agha.

Then I will discipline his Agha...

And I'll stomp on this tail, too.

As I told you, Rustem Agha.

Human destiny must change.

It should change, but it doesn't.

Stop complaining and get up, come on.

This was sent by Maksud,
one of the old brigade commanders, sir.

He would like to meet you.

What does Maksud
have to do with you, sir?

It is Maksud.

He wouldn't have called me
if it wasn't important.

Take good care of the guard.

Don't let anyone notice my absence.

Perhaps our fate
will change, Rustem.

The white dove from Bahadir Pasa.

Victory sign.

Queen Katherina has been arrested
and the gold confiscated.

Great.

Bahadir Pasa knows
what he has to do now.

What about the black dove?

It seems to be bad news.

We have martyrs.

May their souls rest in peace.

It seems we have lost our knights
who went to the port of Luca...

The grain had also fallen into
the hands of the enemy.

We cut off their arms
by confiscating their gold.

But the pills will give
them some breathing room.

It is only enough to feed the Hungarian
army for a few months, my Hunkar.

But they will find the opportunity
to secure their needs until then.

Therefore, they should not
be given this opportunity.

The snake's venom is in its tail, Ali Bey.

We cut off that tail.

But the tail grows back.

So what can be done to eradicate it
from its roots?

The snake's head must
be crushed, my lord.

"BOSNIA PALACE"

You have seen how strong the
Hungarian army is, haven't you?

This is it.

This is the great alliance
I told you about.

Bosnia.

It will be Mehmed's cemetery.

-You will see it.
-Sir...

But there is still no news
about gold and grain.

I told you it's on the way.

Don't spoil our joy
with unnecessary worries.

Your Majesty.

Has Queen Katherina arrived?

Sir, Queen Katherina...

What happened?

Tell me.

It fell into the hands of
the Ottomans along with the gold.

What are you saying?

How?

How did that happen?

Bahadir Pasa and the Akincis
set up an ambush.

If they had set a trap...

So what were our soldiers doing?

Were they asleep?

Unfortunately, they were
unable to stop them.

A great queen and all that gold.

Do you realize what it means to lose them?

Immediately sent soldiers after them.

Find out where they went
and what they are doing, quickly.

It's clear they didn't take the grain.

Don't despair immediately.

How long will the grains last,
even if they arrive?

We must find a solution.

Let's go to the Pope and ask for help.

We have already given assurances
to the Pope regarding the Hungarians.

Are we going to expose ourselves?

Then, there is only one thing we can do.

Going to Sultan Mehmed.

Let's save ourselves
by making peace at least.

Otherwise we will get into trouble
with the Hungarians.

Are you thinking of going to
Mehmed in submission from now on?

So there's no point in living your life.

Beware, King Stefan.

If you k*ll him, you will make enemies
of all the feudal lords.

I am the king here!

Our support is what makes the king a king.

Without us, even the Pope wouldn't be
able to keep you on your throne.

Get out!

Congratulations, little dragons.

You have done a great job.

I haven't shed Ottoman blood
in a long time.

I have recovered.

Thanks to your sharp mind, Voivode.

Thanks, Karamanoglu.

Keep the grains waiting.

Should we keep it?

What do you mean?

Shall we not take it to Wallachia?

We will take her to Bosnia.

So that they may know our worth.

Let us have contributed something
to this alliance as well.

Masha'Allah, my Shehzade.

Masha'Allah!

One of your throws is worth a thousand.

Your skill is dazzling.

If only my destiny...

It had received a share of
the light of my skill, Lala.

What is it, my Shehzade?

What is casting a shadow
over your heart?

On the eve of the campaign...

Here I am, practicing in a remote
corner, doing nothing, Lala.

Aren't the implications of this
matter enough, Lala?

Don't do that, my Shehzade.

Don't do it.

I persuaded the cavalry and took
them behind you for the campaign.

I pulled the soldiers out
from the midst of the fire.

You perform every duty that falls
upon you to the fullest extent.

There's no need to be sad.

There is, Lala.

There is.

In order to gain the favor of our Sultan...

I must show more courage and strength.

I must not allow my star,
which shone in Pontus, to fade.

You also know...

That w*r means victory.

Victory means fame and glory.

The Janissary wants...

That his shehzade should triumph, with
his shield and his sharp sword in his hand.

But...

If I fail to participate in the campaign!

My Shehzade...

My Shehzade.

Give your heart a rest.

Just as one of my hands
holds the reins of the Diwan...

And the state in my capacity
as Grand Vizier,

My other hand will always be on
your shoulder as your Lala.

Truth always watches
over our paths.

And I will be your guide.

Now, my Shehzade...

"Come on, Irfan, there's a campaign."

"Come on, Irfan,
there's training."

Oh you, here and there,
but what does Irfan's heart desire?

How is he?

Is anyone asking about him?

We said we wanted to
check on the situation.

Please, Mr. Irfan.

This is the master of meat.

Deer meat!

Thank you, Maksud Agha,
thank you, but...

You look absolutely stylish.

Where does the money come from?

In the Legion there was one pot
for a thousand soldiers.

But outside, if you're smart, there are
a thousand times better for one soldier.

The wolf will not be
satisfied with this division,

Agha, no matter how
insignificant the lambs may be.

What work have you started?

Are you asking about grapes?

Or is it about generosity?

I am asking about the
owner of the generosity, brother.

I am on duty.

In addition to the soldiers
who left the Legion.

How is this work progressing?

We give to struggling merchants...

One grape...

We take two.

Why did you invite me?

I know you like grapes, too, Irfan Agha.

But this time they didn't ask
for a single grape.

Instead, they asked for a thousand grapes.

So?

Money is plentiful in the Legion
from the spoils of the campaign.

Between the tradition of plate loot
and distributing money...

The bags were full and overflowing.

Do you mean that I should
go and gather my friends...

To establish a vineyard so
that our grapes will never run out?

Is this true?

Soil is our blanket...

And the stone is our pillow.

I spent my life in those rotten
Legion rooms, brother.

And I want you to win, too.

So that you may rest and be
pampered, and your blanket...

Will be made of silk and
your pillow of ostrich feathers.

Will you share this path with us?

Yes.

-Great.
-Great.

Don't let it get cold, brother.

It's for you.

Thank you, brother.

Did you like it?

May Allah bless your wealth.

It tastes very delicious.

Didn't you say that
lands that are difficult...

To hold by the sword
are held by treaties?

If you take Princess Rosa as your wife,
all hardships and troubles will disappear.

Mehmed.

Dear Gulsah.

Did something happen?

Get up, woman.

We have something to talk about.

Get up.

Let's perform our prayers first.

Then we will set off on our way.

What?

Which way?

Let's go so we don't miss out.

Are the roses of the garden picked
without the owner's consent?

My Hunkar, there is in your
heart such piety that you...

Wait until a leaf falls with
permission and satisfaction.

You know, my wife...

For the sake of the state, it may be
necessary to give up many things.

And sometimes even about love.

The position and the sultanate...

A robe that is too tight
even for sultans, and makes...

Them stand helpless before
the prestige of the regime.

The system is run by
custom and tradition.

That is what we were taught
and how we were raised.

You knew that, but...

Sometimes...

A person wants to listen to the
voice that lies within their heart.

My heart only beats in your name.

In my dreams, my imagination,
and in the very essence of my being.

I also have good news for you.

What is it?

Mehmed...

I am pregnant.

Insha'Allah, I will bless
you with another son.

What are you saying, woman?

Is what you're saying true?

You are a blessing from Allah to me!

You have made my heart happy!

You have delighted my heart!

It's good that you came, Molla.

I would like to talk
to you about something.

The pregnancy of Gulsah...

It made me think again about
the issue of marriage with Rosa.

At a time like this, I cannot bring
her news that will sadden her.

Have you backed down, my Hunkar?

Tell Reyhan Agha
to prepare a new palace for Rosa.

You spend nights and months
working towards this goal.

And you waste your days on it.

My words may sound harsh...

But it's the words of a friend,
and a friend is always truthful.

So that all these efforts
do not go to waste,

Your marriage to Rosa Hatun is a must.

Allah forbid that it should be
my place to order you...

That your heart should incline towards
her, that is not within my limits.

But your marriage to Rosa Hatun...

It will be a gateway of hope for the
future of thousands of oppressed people.

Weren't you...

Who gave me the example of Mara Hatun
reminding me of the loyalty of the Serbs?

Allah knows best.

Perhaps all these troubles and hardships...

And the knots...

It will be solved through
this door, my Hunkar.

I see that the hospitality has ended.

I didn't want to burden the ladies
with some simple things.

You've also gotten used
to our language, Masha'Allah.

Isn't this too much for a two-day stay?

It isn't even enough for
those who have provided,

All this assistance
to me and my people.

Especially Sultan Mehmed Han.

What did you say, Daya?

Our Hunkar is extremely protective
of the princess and the subjects.

That's what I meant.

Mehmed Han is unlike
any ruler I have ever met.

He sheltered us under his wing
without caring who he might face.

Our Hunkar is a supporter
of everyone, Rosa.

Whether the wronged person is a
princess or a sl*ve, his mercy is vast.

Excuse me, I'm going to rest for a bit.

These documents contain information
about the organization that you,

My Shehzade, have established
for the Bureau of Records.

During the reign of Mahmoud,
every little thing concerning...

The Ottoman state was
recorded by the officials.

As our ancestors say,
"Words fly away, but writing remains."

Okay, but why are you sharing all
this information with me, Lala?

Even a father doesn't give
his son all these secrets.

If I had a son, I would love him
only as much as you, my Shehzade.

All these worries and trials will pass.

My prayers and hopes are
pinned on you, Mustafa.

You are putting in a lot of effort for me.

Insha'Allah, I will not
let you down, my Lala.

Insha'Allah, my Shehzade.

Oh Pasa!

My Shehzade.

What is this hurry, Atmaca?
Did you see a monster?

Speak up, man!
Is our shehzade a stranger to us?

Tell us.

You were right, Pasa.
I did track down Maksud Agha.

They have created a secret
and dangerous organization.

They impose their control over
merchants, craftsmen, and markets.

They lend to one person and
receive back double the amount.

-Whoever refuses, they cut off his breath.
-Look!

And also, my Pasa,
Irfan, that Janissary soldier...

He joined this organization.

The wound is getting bigger,
and this boil must be blown out, Pasa.

Beware, for Allah forbid that we should
be touched by the spray of their filth.

They will think that we are plotting
against Ishak Pasa.

So what do we do, Pasa?

We will not do anything,
but our Shehzade will.

-Me?
-Yes, you, my Shehzade.

Are we going to waste
all these efforts in vain?

Let Atmaca tell the details, and you should
inform our Sultan of the information.

Since hyenas howl around us
and crows circle,

Let the lion appear in the field!

The enemy has transformed
into a gigantic monster.

And the head of this monster
is definitely the Pope.

Its parties are the Hungarians
and the Bosnia.

His leg is Vlad, but...

But its backbone lies in...

Ragusa.

These Jewish merchants, since
they were unable to establish a state,

-And may them not, Insha'Allah.
-Insha'Allah.

Insha'Allah.

They always wanted to hold
the reins in their own hands.

And they did so with the power of money.

They reside in a fortified
castle in Ragusa.

No one has yet dared to raise
a sword against them.

Rather, they always persuaded
their opponents with their...

Political language and
achieved their goal, my Sultan.

He who possesses a strong tongue
is able to direct others as he wishes.

We need someone exactly like that.

My Sultan, would you like to
send a messenger to them?

As I said, Pasa, they are
the backbone of the enemy alliance.

They might help them.

Therefore, that source must be
completely cut off.

You are right.

Who do you think is appropriate
to entrust with this task?

His political tongue must
be sharp and flexible.

And to strike with the sword forcefully
those who do not understand.

And it must be someone
very close to you, my Hunkar.

So that they may realize
the seriousness of this matter.

Say what's on your mind, Ishak.

Allah forbid, my Hunkar.

Speak up, Ishak, don't prolong it.

I mean Shehzade Bayezid, my Hunkar.

In such a difficult mission,
and in the heart of the flames,

Do you want me to send my shehzade?

Because it was a particularly difficult
task, I said, Shehzade Bayezid, my Hunkar.

If your shehzade goes today to warn...

Will they not fear tomorrow
the wrath of the Sultan?

My Sultan, these merchants have humiliated
many nations with their twisted tongues.

I don't know if our shehzade's shrewdness
will be enough to convince them or not.

His management of the Amasya
brigade honed his skills in this regard.

Don't worry, Zaganos Pasa.

I am a witness to that, my Hunkar...

For Shehzade Bayezid is
exactly the man you want.

He possesses a flexible
tongue for those who understand,

And a sharp sword for
those who do not understand.

However...

The order and decree are
from our Hunkar, the Sultan.

"BOSNIA PALACE"

Have your soldiers settled in
the villages, Commander Gabor?

What is the point of housing
them in empty houses, King Stefan?

What does this mean?

The village stores only contain
enough provisions for a few days.

What will we feed our soldiers?

I told you that enough grain
was on the way.

What we are seeing is not reassuring.

Don't forget that you are
talking to a king, Gabor!

And do not forget your promise
to the Pope and to King Mattias.

-If you do not resolve it by evening...
-Your Majesty!

Vlad Tepes! What are you doing here?

Hungarians!

As the Turks say:
"I have good news," my King.

I brought the grains you ordered.

See? I told you the grain was on its way.

That's how your problem is solved.

I hope such a problem will not
be repeated, King Stefan.

Hungarians!

Hungarians are eccentric.

They are like Turks.

I did not tell you that in
front of the commander.

The gold and Queen Katherina
fell into the hands of Bahadir Pasa!

I know that, Stefan.

Do you?

You had said that you were close to Bahadir
Pasa, so were you able to save the gold?

Tell me.

Are the men tired, Bali Bey?

The Akinci soldiers do not tire,
but narrow valleys will begin ahead.

We wouldn't be able
to rest even if we wanted to.

So let's pause ahead for a moment.

Rado betrayed us, Stefan.

Queen Katherina and the gold fell into
the hands of the Ottomans because of him.

What do you mean by saying
that Rado betrayed you?

-How could you not have realized that?
-It's not that I didn't...

But I'm the one who sent him there.

My suspicions turned out to be correct.

What do you think you're doing, Vlad?

How could you throw the queen and the
gold into the fire before our very eyes?

Calm down, Stefan.

If his secret isn't revealed
now, he will cause us...

Bigger problems in the future. Calm down.

What harm could
be greater than this?

I tell you that Queen Katherina
has been captured!

The gold is lost!

Don't pretend to me that you
care a lot about the Queen.

In fact, deep down
you are pleased.

Stop this nonsense!

After she left, didn't the queen's
fate fall into your hands?

Do you regret your foolishness now
that you have committed it?

What you call foolishness...

He will save us from great calamities
in the future, understand that.

The only thing I
understand is that we got into...

This mess because of you
and your damned brother.

If we don't have gold, we won't
be able to feed the Hungarians.

If the Hungarians are not with us,
we will not defeat Mehmed.

Do not think with your anger,
but with your mind.

The supplies we have now will only
last us for a few months.

That is, it will run out before Mehmed
goes out on his conquest.

Then the Hungarians will withdraw.

Then we will have to drag Mehmed
into the w*r quickly.

And how will we do that?

We k*lled Shahab ad-Din Pasa,
that is, his Lala.

However, Mehmed was not
defeated by his anger.

If you want to defeat Mehmed,
you must think like he thinks.

I don't think he's thinking about anything.

After he seized the gold and the queen...

He is now enjoying
the blow he dealt us.

When Mehmed took
the gold and jewelry from us,

Did he know that it was important to us?

-He knows.
-Yes.

He did what was necessary.

But it's not complete yet.

What was left after that?

Do you know what Mehmed
does first before starting a w*r?

What does he do?

First, he cuts off and dries up
the sources of his enemies' power.

His next step will be the same.

What are they?

Merchants of Ragusa.

Come in.

-My Sultan.
-Come here, Bayezid.

I haven't seen you so patient
in a long time.

The enemy is strong, son.

Yes.

The Hungarians, Bosnia, and the Pope...

They are all thorns.

But the Jews of Ragusa are the root.

Now is the time to uproot that root!

Are you thinking of besieging
Ragusa before Bosnia?

Should we solve every problem
with the sword first?

That varies depending on the enemy.

Some Ragusa Jews were merchants.

And in the merchant's scales,
blood is not heavy.

They tend to talk and agree first,
my Sultan.

But...

Not everyone has the
shrewdness and quick wit...

To talk to them, soften them up,
and reach an agreement.

A man speaks only
to the extent of his power.

And with that same power, he
convinces whoever stands before him.

In the end, he who makes
good use of his strength...

Guides his opponent to
the right path, my Sultan.

What if they do not come willingly?

Then the blood becomes heavier.

For those who do
not understand...

The language of the tongue,
the sword is enough.

That is why, son, I have
decided to send you to Ragusa.

I?

Why are you surprised, son.

Your words made me make my decision.

Bali Bey, Samil Bey, and the Akinci
knights will greet you on the way.

You'll show the people
of Ragusa the strength...

Of your mind and the
power of your tongue.

If they do not understand
and are not guided to the right path...

Then I'll do what I have learned from you.

Your path is long
and your task is enormous.

The worry for the son is
unbearably bitter, Bayezid.

Your father will always
remain like a sheath.

He will protect you.

Is it conceivable that Mehmed would
be preoccupied with a few merchants?

A few merchants?

These few traders control Europe.

Wouldn't we have solved the problem of the
Hungarians with the gold we take from them?

If he kills them...

Our entire balance will be overturned.

I know Mehmed very well.

He must have delegated the
task to someone some time ago.

We will eliminate them.

Eventually, his patience will run out,
and he will go out to invade.

Every human being has
a breaking point, Stefan.

I will wait there like a dragon.

Who are they?

Perhaps a few Akinci knights.

What if we k*lled them?

Will Mehmed go to w*r for their sake?

Mehmed's political intelligence
is no less sharp than his sword.

He will send important figures
for this mission.

Perhaps Zaganos,
or Ishak have emerged recently.

Or perhaps it is the person I expect.

Who is it?

One of the shehzades.

If those heading to Ragusa
is one of the shehzades...

So, will we k*ll Mehmed's shehzade?

We will k*ll Mehmed's shehzade.

We will send his blood-stained
robe to his father.

He will want blood, like every father.

He will not be satisfied
to leave one stone...

On top of another, nor
one head on a shoulder!

He will attack with all his might.

And what about Rado?

Since it happened because of your plan
and Rado's betrayal...

Will you show the same
cruelty towards your brother,

As you will show it towards
Mehmed's shehzade?

For me, loyalty comes
before everything, Stefan.

If the matter reaches that point,

After that, I don't know
a brother or a mother!

Why did Kurtcu Dogan Pasa do this...

With so many experienced people
in positions of authority, son?

What did he do?

He entrusted us with such a noble task.

Why didn't he entrust it to Serhat
or Devran, and assign it to us?

Because we are smarter and more astute
than anyone else in the capital.

However, you are a little smarter than me.

That's why great tasks are
entrusted to strong men like us.

Say Masha'Allah, so that we are not envied.

Masha'Allah!

What is this noble task that
has been entrusted to you?

Brother, I beg you and by
Muhammad, His prophet...

Do not interfere like a snake
and meddle in matters.

Please, be silent!

Satilmis Agha, the last word is yours.
Please, go ahead!

Crazy Lutfi is getting married.

Dogan Pasa said, "Go to the
market and buy a house gift."

Did he say that? To you?

Such sacred tasks are usually assigned...

Either for Evrenosoglu Ali Bey,
or for Malkacoglu Bali Bey.

If this responsibility is entrusted to you
both, then you must truly be great men.

Who else could it be?

Sahan Agha is a blood
brother to Malkacoglu!

He also has experience
in some sword tricks.

Isn't that right, brother?

Indeed.

What will you buy as a gift for him?

Let's buy a beautiful, purebred horse.

We want its saddle studded
with diamonds and rubies.

With this money,
we can't even afford a horse's hoof.

It should be shiny, bright.

Anyone who sees it will salivate.

So let's buy an apple from
Amasya, a beautiful apple.

Apples alone are not enough.

Then...

Because of my sharp
intellect and my obligation...

To give good answers
to every question,

We'll buy a basket of
the finest pears. Pears!

Yes, it can be a pear.

We won't find anyone
in this world who is more...

Skilled than you two
at pears, Masha'Allah.

May Allah reward you.

Masha'Allah.

It has become clear that Dogan Pasa
did not make me pursue you both in vain.

Come on, follow me, we will buy
what the Pasa recommended.

Let's go.

He says a pear!

Don't come with us anymore, Bali Bey.

Go ahead and get on the road.

Let's get this task done first,
then we'll go, Pasa.

Bali Bey is right, my Pasa.

We will not leave you alone.

There's no need for that.

We have approached the
borders of the Sublime State.

Let the horsemen come with you.

Ambush!

Raid!

Move!

Hurry up, come on!

[ISLAMBOL]

Is this distraction of yours
from the night?

Or is it from overthinking?

From the inability to act
and being content with waiting.

You saved your people from
the quagmire of injustice.

Don't you deserve a little rest?

How can I rest while my land is
trampled under the feet of the oppressors?

No.

So let me relieve your distraction
and give you some information.

Queen Katherina is now a prisoner
of the Sublime State.

Get up, move, to the cart.

Rado!

Katherina, we have to leave immediately.

Where were you?

We'll talk later, hurry up.

He was injured!

Rado!

Hurry! Hurry!

Run!

Please, allow me to go out
and greet my mother.

I have accounts with her.

Control your anger, but don't forget...

That anger will give you strength
when the time comes.

Why not now?

Because Katherina won't be coming here.

Or will they k*ll her?

She will not be k*lled.

But she is a part of my catch.

And thanks to her, I will devise a
great scheme in the swamp of injustice.

For this reason, I allowed her to escape.

With an opportunity like this...

Why release her?

May the evil of the alliance
they hope for be a calamity for them!

Daya!

Daya!

My Sultan!

Daya, you didn't hear me.

Why are you so distracted?

No, my Sultan, I am not distracted.

But there is something else.

You have a problem. Speak up.

Look at me closely.

Are you not interested in Lutfi Effendi,
or do you have another concern?

No, my Sultan, there is no
problem with Lutfi Effendi.

So why did you treated
Princess Rosa that way?

If you have a worry, tell us so
we can find a cure for it, Daya.

Nothing, my Sultan.

Tell me, what's bothering you? Come on.

When I met Lutfi Effendi...

A word slipped out of his mouth.

So?

Don't increase my curiosity,
Daya, just say what you have to say.

Lutfi Effendi said that our Sultan...

He will take Princess Rosa as his wife.

Therefore, she was brought to the harem.

Is anyone coming?

No, brother.

Okay.

So keep an eye on
things and be vigilant.

Yes, brother,
have you made up your minds?

What is the final decision?

That's a nice statement, but...

What if Huseyin Agha
found out about it?

Didn't you close the Grand Vizier's
file just two nights ago?

And who was he?
It was the great Mahmoud Pasa.

Are you afraid of Huseyin Agha now?

Sir, the Grand Vizier
works with a pen.

As for Huseyin Agha's pen,
it's at his waist!

Don't talk, man!

Pay attention,
and speak a little.

Are you with me or not?

If we have to wait,
I have no objection.

It may not occur to you, but the biggest
problems are still haunting us, gentlemen.

What if Ishak Pasa heard about it?

If this matter is pursued and attacked,
what will we do then, gentlemen?

If the Grand Vizier were as he was
during the reign of Mahmoud Pasa...

I'd have understood your fear
of the position of Grand Vizier.

But with Ishak Pasa,
this part is the easiest to do.

Do not underestimate yourselves, gentlemen.

Ishak Pasa owes us.

In the Sublime Ottoman State, power
was not based on the limit of weapons.

It is neither strength nor greatness.

We have spent our lives
in this legion, gentlemen.

Our fate is known when
our lives run out in this legion.

I am not inviting you
down a dark, endless path.

I promise you
wealth and comfort.

Now tell me, are you with me?

Or not?

We'll pay a thousand currency to
receive a thousand two hundred, right?

Yes, that's right.

We are with you.

-We are with you.
-We are with you.

Come on then, gentlemen, let each of
you bring out what coins are in your bag.

-In the name of Allah.
-Let's begin, in the name of Allah.

-Let's go.
-Let's go, in the name of Allah.

In the name of Allah.

Attention!

His Majesty Sultan Mehmed.

How is our little one?

If there were a reverse situation,
I would have noticed it, my Hunkar.

Take care.

Then..

There isn't much time left
until the marriage ceremony.

Which marriage?

-So quickly?
-What is it, Gulsah?

I mean the marriage of
Lutfi Effendi and Daya.

Yes, that's what you mean!

As the bride's family, we have
completed all the preparations, my Hunkar.

I hope nothing is missing.

My Hunkar.

Speak, my shehzade.

I have important news. I am coming
from my Lala Mahmoud Pasa.

Didn't I tell you not to mention
his name in front of me?

Look into my eyes!

Didn't I tell you?

Stop, stop, stop!

Rado!

Leave me alone and continue
on your way, go on!

No, Rado!

-Are the Akincis still chasing us?
-We haven't seen them, sir.

But they won't leave us alone easily.

You will be caught because of me.

-You continue on your way, come on.
-No, Rado.

We started this journey together,
and we will return together.

But you have to tell me where
you were at the time of the raid.

I withdrew with my soldiers
as soon as I saw the attack.

So that I can come back and rescue you.

I don't know why I feel like you're lying.

Because if I had
attacked at that moment,

Perhaps none of this
would have happened now.

Perhaps you too could be part
of this game, couldn't you?

Rado.

He lost consciousness.

Let's lift him up.

Lift him up.

-Quickly.
-Come on.

May you remain safe, brothers.

This money will come
back to you many times over.

It will be ready in a week, won't it?

The money will come back, won't it?

It will return, brother.

Let's get our work done first.

It will return with
boxes and caravans.

Irfan Agha, Ishak Pasa is coming!

Stop, gentlemen, stop.
Don't get flustered.

Peace be upon you, gentlemen.

And may peace be upon you.

Welcome, Pasa.

Welcome.

Thanks, but...

Irfan...

Tell me why you collected this money?

Some of our brothers'
goods sank in the sea.

Their situation has worsened
and they are in great distress.

-So?
-So...

It is not right to expect
everything from a capable...

Pasa like yourself or
from our exalted state.

We thought we should also take
the initiative and lend a helping hand.

I understand. Okay, Irfan...

Who told you to lend a helping hand?

Where do we get the money from, my Pasa?

From the battlefields,
while we fight for the homeland.

And what we take while we are
at w*r for the sake of the homeland,

We saw that it was right to share it with
our brothers for the sake of the homeland.

Great.

Well done, brave men.

May Allah bless you.

My Pasa, why did you come?
We are at your service.

I came to see Huseyin Agha, Irfan.
Do you know where he is?

Dogan Pasa came and they went up
together to the gentlemen's room, Pasa.

Dogan Pasa?

Tell me, Irfan.

Since when have old enemies
become such friends?

My Pasa, we do not know who is the
adversary and who is the ally.

Our place is by your side.

Our path is your path, Pasa.

You are the command,
let us be as quiet as the earth.

You issue your order.

Let us overflow and become
as vast as the seas.

Well done, my hero.

Well done, heroes.

Okay, I bid you farewell.

My Pasa, why don't you drink
the soup with us since you came?

What soup is it?

We have cow's foot soup, sir.

Omer!

As soon as my father heard your name,
he became angry, Lala.

What did you expect, my shehzade?

Since you know that,
why did you send me to his presence?

Do you want me to fall from his favor?

Allah forbid, my shehzade, Allah forbid.

However, showing that you are doing
the work is just as important as doing it.

These are the subtle points in politics.

What do you mean?

My shehzade, even if
our Hunkar listens to you,

He would not have dealt
with the irregular soldiers himself.

Of course, I would not have
been unaware of this.

And now, thanks to your courage
and boldness in addressing the issue,

The truth will be revealed.

And that will make it clear to everyone.

That was the first chapter,
so what about the second chapter?

But this is the courage
that runs in your blood.

And the insight that
looms on your horizon.

This means placing these
irregulars before the Sultan.

While the Sultan orders me to move away,

While the Grand Vizier was
dismissed from his post,

How can I accomplish this?

With your Ottoman
might, my shehzade.

Proceed with this matter boldly,
and you will see the result.

The rest will be solved gradually,
like untying a knot in a thread.

We have passed the night of innocence.

Innocence is not a
decree that descends from heaven,

Nor is it merely a name
for a passing night.

Innocence is the removal of
a person’s sin from their shoulders.

But for the sin to be
removed from the servant,

He must first admit
that he bore this guilt.

Is forgiveness easy?

Having your sins forgiven
and pardoned is easy.

The difficult thing is for a person
to accept that he needs forgiveness.

We said that innocence is the removal
of the servant's sin from his shoulders.

What happens when the
burden of guilt is lessened?

A person feels light.

For this reason, the
Night of Innocence is...

Considered the gateway to
the holy month of Ramadan.

Those who have removed
their sins from...

Their shoulders will enter
through that door.

They reach the blessed
month of Ramadan.

On the night of innocence,
the path appears.

During the holy month of Ramadan,
the road is traveled.

Acquittal heralds pardon.

As for the holy month of Ramadan...

It teaches us how to be worthy
of this forgiveness.

We hope to be among those
who learn that, Insha'Allah.

Insha'Allah.

Insha'Allah.

My Pasa, even if my blood flowed like
this sherbet, I would not rest one iota.

Thanks.

Congratulations.

What Mahmoud Pasa said...

It tore my heart to pieces, but...

There seems to be some
truth in his words, Pasa.

Where did you start
your service, Huseyin Agha?

In the Sanjak of Bursa,
my Pasa, but why?

I started in Nallihan.

In the village of Candarli.

Then that great man nicknamed Kara Halil.

He had a flock... what a flock!

It was a commotion
that filled the world.

Sheep and lambs are everywhere.

We learned how to keep
an eye on the wolf so that...

It wouldn't invade the flock
while we waited for it to come.

At that time, we learned
the nature and customs of wolves.

Do you know what hungry wolves do?

They set up a feast for the wolves.

They circle around
each other in a loop.

They spin endlessly, without stopping
or ending. They spin until they die.

Then one of them collapses
from exhaustion.

His vision becomes blurred.

His energy is waning.

His resolve weakens.

He falls to the ground.

And what's next, Pasa?

Wolves...

They eat the wolf that fell!

In the law of wolves,
eating the fallen is the law.

Kurtcu Pasa.

Which is the wolf
and which is the lamb?

Tell me.

Who owns this flock?

The owner of the flock...

He is the Sultan.

As for the lamb,
it has absolutely no value.

But when it comes to the wolf...

Herein lies the mystery.

Who stopped the soldiers from looting?

It is Ishak.

Consider that the feast of
the wolves had been set up.

And the one who ousted
Mahmoud Pasa from his position was...

Ishak.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

How pleasant your gathering is, gentlemen.

Oh, Pasas.

Allah forbid, Your Excellency
the Grand Vizier.

Let me sit here.

I said to myself,
"I will visit the Janissaries."

As you know,
we are on the brink of w*r.

I saw, by Allah's will,
each one of them looked like a lion.

It seems you came
to comfort these lions, Ishak...

Pasa.

That's right, my Pasa.

May Allah protect our Pasa.

For some reason, he has recently
been frequenting the Legion a lot!

What's wrong?
The soldiers are our soldiers.

And the heroes are our heroes, aren't they?

So why does my visit
to the soldiers bother you so much?

Then, didn't Sultan Mehmed
grant me power of attorney on...

His behalf and hand me the
seal of absolute authority?

As I am the Grand Vizier...

Isn't taking care of this flock
my responsibility?

Yes, my Pasa, but...

So what then?

The shepherd who doesn't
know the basics of his job...

He will either destroy his
subjects through his ignorance,

Or he begs for safety from the wolf.

Really?

Masha'Allah, Lutfi.

One meeting was enough
to convince Daya Hatun.

I seek forgiveness from Allah.

This means that I have
a place with her, thank Allah.

Absolutely, of course.

But have you ever thought
about where you will live?

-In the palace.
-Yes, the palace!

We have married you to
a bride from the palace,

And you want to live there
as a son-in-law as well?

Allah forbid.

I never thought about it, my Hunkar.

How will you secure your livelihood?

Of course, you hadn't
thought of that either.

I did not think, my Hunkar.

My work here...

Are you expecting money in return
for your sincere friendship?

I seek forgiveness from Allah.
Allah forbid, my Hunkar.

The palace is ready, my Hunkar.

Since our friend Lutfi Effendi befriends us
without expecting anything in return,

Let us show our friendship
to him through our giving.

This palace is for you and Daya Hatun.

In addition, you will be allocated
a salary from my own treasury.

Congratulations.

May you remain safe, my Hunkar.

May you live a long life,
Allah bless you, my Sultan.

May Allah bless your home,
and fill your house with peace.

May Allah perpetuate the affection between
you and grant you a long life, Insha'Allah.

Amen.

Amen.

You have done a brilliant job, Irfan Agha.

Give us our share on time
as you promised and...

We will accomplish more
work for you, Maksud Agha.

Don't worry!

Give my warmest regards
to the Janissaries...

And tell them that Maksud
Agha will make them all rich.

Don't worry, Agha.

Anyway, I'll leave quietly
before someone sees me.

You'll tell me, Agha.

Is it conceivable that
I wouldn't tell you, Irfan Agha?

Thank you, goodbye.

Goodbye, Agha.

Now let's look for three large palaces.

And above it is a memory
as firm as the mountains.

What have you done, Agha?

Do you think we would
buy a mansion just...

Because a few pennies
went into our pockets?

Just a palace for now,
but tomorrow we might build a sultanate.

Don't dream too much, Agha,
this job will be finished soon.

How so?

Is there anyone who suffers during
the reign of Sultan Mehmed?

However, several such offers
appear from time to time.

That's right, prosperity has come
with the arrival of our master the Sultan.

But…

What if a warehouse suddenly
caught fire or a shop was flooded…

Or bandits attacked
and the caravans were robbed.

So what could Sultan Mehmed
the Great do about that?

-You are right, Agha.
-You are right!

Go immediately to the
soup kitchen for the poor.

Put some coins in their pockets
and bring them.

I will see whose warehouse will burn,
and whose convoy will be attacked.

May you be safe.

I'll begin the marriage
contract according to,

The Book of Allah and the
Sunnah of His Messenger.

Through the diligence of scholars
and the testimony of witnesses.

Masha'Allah.

-The same fate awaits the rest, hopefully.
-Amen.

Daya Hatun, daughter
of Abdullah, do you...

Accept Lutfi, son of
Ahmed, as your husband,

In exchange for a deferred dowry
of ten thousand gold pieces?

-I accept him.
-Do you accept him?

I accepted him.

Did you accept him?

I accepted him.

And you, son of Ahmed,
Lutfi, would you accept...

Daya Hatun, daughter
of Abdullah, as your wife,

In exchange for a deferred dowry
of ten thousand gold pieces?

I accepted her.

Did you accept her?

I accepted her.

-Did you accept her?
-I accepted her.

Do you two bear witness to this,
Sultan Mehmed Han and Ishak Pasa?

I bear witness to that.

I bear witness to that.

So, the marriage was
concluded with the help of Allah,

And after hearing the
testimony of the witnesses.

May Allah make him
blessed and happy.

Amen.

Amen.

What's happening? It's a raid!

Attack!

I told you before that if I started
talking, this would be the end.

I wish all conversations ended like this.

But it is not the end,
it is only the beginning.

It is a beginning in the name of
Allah towards a long life, a shared...

Journey towards happiness, and
a launch towards unforgettable joy.

Now you can lift the bride's veil,
if you wish.

Excuse me, is it reasonable
to lift the veil before...

The bride is given the
gift of seeing the face?

I am Lutfi the crazy one anyway!

A head covering suits your forehead, just
as a twisted bracelet suits your wrist.

It may look a little thick,
but it's an authentic Tokat bracelet.

In the name of God, the most
gracious, the most merciful.

Masha'Allah.

Lutfi Effendi!

"BOSNIA CASTLE"

The queen!

We thank the God that He did not leave
you in the hands of our enemies.

Has the Lord forsaken you, Stefan?

I didn't understand.

I wished to be rescued
by the king of my country.

And of course, his desire
to save is also important.

It seems that captivity has
worn you down, Your Majesty.

Rest a little.

And let the soldiers carry the gold inside.

What gold is it?

What do you mean by this question?

I mean the gold that you brought
from Ragusa, wasn't it also rescued?

Bahadir Pasa took all the gold.

You mean the gold is lost,
but you have survived, Queen.

That's right, Vlad.

I know for certain that the Ottomans
do not covet gold much.

You are more important to them.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm just
happy to see you safe and sound.

But I know Bahadir Pasa very well.

I know him too well, too.

How could he let something as precious
as you slip through his fingers?

And how did you survive?

Rado!

Move!

Order meant everything to my father,
Sultan Murad, may Allah have mercy on him.

He used to say that order
begins with discipline.

We made our enemies organize
and line up in one row.

We did that so that we
would throw a bone among,

Them that would make
them devour each other.

Was Katherina that bone?

Katherina was just someone
who would hinder Stefan.

The dispute between them will
disrupt the rest of the work.

With this move, Rado returned to the enemy
ranks again after he had been excluded.

But also as one of our affiliates.

And to be a hand with
which we can plunge...

The dagger into whomever
we wish, whenever we wish.

I have never seen you
like this before, brother.

Helpless and weak.

My dear brother!

Dear Rado!

You are fighting for your life!

If they hadn't hit you…

I would have k*lled you myself.

Because you hurt me so much, Rado.

You hurt your brother a lot!

You betrayed your brother.

But he did not betray us.

I tested him and told no one else
about the port of Luca.

If he didn't betray us, then who did?

So how am I here?

If Rado was a traitor, he wouldn't have
saved me from Bahadir, or risk his life.

Your brother is not a traitor, Vlad.

You can trust him now.

What about the Hungarians, my Hunkar?

How will they get
their share of this trick?

Hungarians…

Hungarians love the sparkle
of two specific things...

One is the gleam of the sword
and the other is the gleam of gold.

If the Hungarians knew about
the gold we had seized...

They will stand against Stefan first,
and then they will stand against Vlad.

Those who unite with each other
now will inevitably k*ll each other.

What about the Jews of Ragusa?

Are we going to turn a blind eye
to their support for them?

No.

I personally entrusted this
matter to shehzade Bayezid.

He will surely do what
is worthy of my name.

You have come earlier than
we expected, my Shehzade.

You are right, Bali Bey.

Have all of Ragusa's
roads been examined?

All necessary measures have been
taken in the roads and forests.

We planted our spies near the city.

Amazing.

Come on then, this is not the time to stop.

The knights of Akincis are
waiting for us on the road, my shehzade.

Tell the heroes to return.

There is no need to go with
a large group.

Why are we going to Ragusa, my Shehzade?

Isn't it to destroy there?

We will not go to w*r, Samil Bey!

Rather, our Sultan wants us to solve the
problem through politics, not bloodshed.

What if we cannot solve the problem?

What if they do not understand and insist
on rebelling against our Hakan?

Then the swords will be drawn…

Everyone gets what they are entitled to.

"BOSNIA PALACE"

We are ready to go to Ragusa.

What about Rado?
What will happen to him?

What do you suggest
should happen, Commander?

That what happens to traitors
will happen to him.

Rado has a matter with the Lord now.

First, he should decide
what he will do with it.

Then it will be my turn.

Voivode!

What's wrong, little shehzade?

Why didn't you wait by the horses?

Because I have brought you important news.

Speak.

The messenger whom the Sultan's
brother-in-law sent to Ragusa…

Is it Zaganos or Mahmoud?

None of them.

Rather, Bayezid.

Your soul has sunk into darkness, Vlad.

Darkness has completely enveloped
your mind and heart.

Until they turned into completely
black stone.

In this state you are capable
of doing anything.

But I will break
this black stone, Vlad.

Great.

There is some work I haven't finished
with my nephew, and I will resolve it.

Let's not make Sultan Mehmed's
gift wait any longer.

"ISLAMBOL"

Gulsah?

Sit down.

I asked the servants about you
and they said that you are resting.

What kind of break is that at this time?

And also that bridal veil...

What is it doing here?

Sit down, my Hunkar.

Do you know when I came
to know you, my Hunkar?

On the night of our
seclusion after the wedding.

When you left me wearing my wedding dress
and went to Constantinople that night...

I learned that I had married a
man who loved no one but himself.

Gulsah!

Why bring this up now?

It was just opened.

Because once again,
new flowers are blooming...

On the horizon of
your ultimate goal.

Until the whole world
gets rid of the swamp of...

Injustice and escapes
to a paradise of roses...

This situation will continue.

Did someone say something?

What need is there for words for someone
who understands the woman's situation?

I understand your situation
and circumstances, my Hunkar.

Now that I am your wife...

As long as it is written on my flawless
forehead that I am a woman of the state...

Therefore, it is my duty to
bear whatever befalls me.

Marry Rosa, my Hunkar.

Gulsah!

If your love in the past
was Constantinople...

Your love today is Bosnia.
I know that.

Just as your feet walk
along this path without...

Paying attention to
the thorns and stones...

I will submit and accept that marriage even
if my heart aches and is wrung with pain.

Are you sure?

A sacrifice so that my
husband's and sultan's...

Purpose may flourish
and be fulfilled.

For his sake, I am content to be dust!

You are a woman who
deserves to have the stars...

In the sky placed as
a crown on her head!

Why didn't you go to Judge Hidir Celebi,
since they put you in hardship, Effendi?

Do you not trust the justice
of Sultan Mehmed?

Far be it from me, my Shehzade!

So why didn't you go?

They are Janissaries.

Outwardly they appear
to be only three people,

But in secret they are more
numerous and powerful.

So I was scared.

Is there anyone else besides
you who has been afraid of them,

Submitted to them,
or fallen into their hands?

Adem Effendi, the spice merchant,
had his warehouse flooded with water.

Ibrahim Effendi's caravan was looted.

-Do you think Maksud did it?
-I didn't see it, but...

Allah is my witness, and I believe
they are the ones who did it.

They will meet with Maksud and those
with him at the hostel located in the port.

All the Ottoman kings and their lives
are under the protection of our Sultan.

Don't worry, we will uproot and
eliminate all the corrupt people.

May Allah grant you a
long life, my Shehzade!

Allah forbid, Effendi!

What are you doing?

What did our Prophet Muhammad say?

"The leader of a people is their servant."

Good-bye.

Do you know, Rosa?

I and Sultan Mehmed
held our marriage ceremony,

This was done to end the w*r between
the Ottoman and Karaman families.

You...

You never told me that before.

These are some of the words.

Swords are silenced,
and hearts are compelled to speak.

Bosnia, where blood flowed
like rivers for years...

Won't it need this peace?

But...

You?

There is no place for me or you, Rosa.

But here it is about the oppressed.

And the elders...

And young children.

Wouldn't you like a shield to descend upon
them to protect them, by your permission?

And that a cloak be draped over
their shoulders to warm them?

Listen, Rosa, I know that your
heart might not allow you to do this...

And perhaps it never will be.

But this marriage is
subject to a path far greater...

Than the happiness
of our individual hearts.

Your marriage to Sultan Mehmed...

It will be a remedy for the
unhealing wounds of Bosnia.

Now tell me, Rosa.

Do you agree to and accept this marriage?

Dogan Pasa!

Are you saying that the
reason for the rebellion...

And corruption in
the capital is Ishak?

Even if Ishak Pasa’s
intentions in establishing...

The Masters’ Fund were
good and pure intentions.

But it was quite clear that this
was how it would turn out, my Hunkar.

If the soldiers start to profit in
the city, then their swords will rust.

At that time they are not preparing
for invasion or for the enemy.

He then sees that sitting in
his place is a gain and a profit.

Okay, what about Ishak?

Is he completely unaware
that the actions...

He has taken will lead to
corruption and chaos?

I heard that investigations
are being conducted,

Regarding the actions of
the rebellious Janissaries.

At first I thought that was
the work of Ishak Pasa.

But...

But?

It became clear...

The one who is pursuing this matter is
your heroic shehzade, shehzade Mustafa.

My Mustafa?

How does he know about it?

Is the son of a wolf to be questioned
about the actions of wolves, my Sultan?

Atmaca, where have you been all this time?

Are you getting water from the market?

Come on, come on.

Come, let us perform ablution
and purify ourselves.

In the name of Allah, the most
gracious, the most merciful.

And what about our souls, Pasa?

Can we also purify our souls in this way
and cleanse them quickly?

I struck the water with a sword, Pasa.

The sword grew tired...

And the arm got tired...

But the water did not get tired.

I did not realize
the preciousness of water...

And its purity...

And its power that can shatter
stones and mountains.

I did not succeed in the one
who guided my own actions.

I couldn't submit to it.

But now I submit with all
that I have to it.

Despite all the heartbreak
and misunderstandings between us...

And tiredness...

Will you be able to pardon me, Pasa?

Forgiveness is in the hands
of Allah alone, Huseyin.

It's almost time for you to get up.

So perform ablution and wait for your turn.

Don't tire yourself, my Hunkar.

Let me punish everyone who has
committed a crime in this matter.

When was it ever reported
that a sultan returned from,

His journey after arming
himself with his sword, Dogan?

Didn't we say that the head
of anyone who rebels will fall?

And that even if our patience runs out,
our covenant will not end!

Now either the bloods comes out,
or the iron goes in!

Come in, gentlemen.
Please, come in, don't hesitate.

-Enjoy it.
-Thank you, my Agha.

Let's resolve this matter so we can
return to our business as soon as possible.

-How much money did you need?
-A thousand coins.

We will give it to you.

But..

Two other merchants came after you.

They said, "Maksud Agha,
give us a thousand coins."

"We will return it to you for
two thousand and five hundred."

What do you mean?

I will give you a thousand.

And I'll get three thousand.

If you like it!

Don't do this, Agha!

What you are saying is usury and interest!

Don't talk nonsense, you!

You have fallen into hardship and we
are helping you, but you call that usury!

And also, when you take that money,
what will you do with it?

You will buy the goods
and sell them at a profit.

What do you mean?

You will earn money.

So now, are you a usurer?

I am a merchant, Agha, this is my job.

I add the profit according to
the rules set by the judge and sell.

So when I add the
profit and give it to you,

Why do I become a usurer, brother Adem?

We add the profit at a rate of one-tenth,
but you want three times that!

Are you not also afraid of
the justice of our Sultan?

The Sultan?

Where is the Sultan, brother Adem?

And do you think our Sultan will care
about you amidst all his other concerns?

My Shehzade.

If the Sultan is absent,
his shadow is here, Maksud Agha!

My Shehzade!

Walk in front of me,
we're going to court.

You will be held accountable!

We love and respect you, my Shehzade!

But...

If you overstep your bounds...

This will never benefit you.

How can you speak
to your shehzade like that?

O heedless one!

We have made up our minds, regardless
of the consequences, Shehzade Mustafa.

If you don't want to die
in a corner of a hostel...

Get out now and leave!

What will you do if I don't leave,
Maksud Agha?

The most likely scenario is...

My hand will get stained
with a shehzade's blood!

-Come on!
-My arm!

My arm!

My arm!

And then I will cut off that hand!

Akincis!

Bahadir Pasa!

What do you command, my Shehzade?

Our sultan is the one
who will rule over them.

Take them!

My hand!

"RAGUSA"

Welcome to Ragusa, my Shehzade!

Who is the head of this place?

-Why won't he receive us?
-Here's the application door.

Hence, the newcomer comes by himself
and does not receive anyone.

We didn't come to ask...

Rather, we came to take what we want.

Whoever your leader is,
take us to him, come on.

Only two people can enter with you.

Did you think that our
shehzade, for whom you...

Prepared a feast of hyenas
inside, was prey for you?

This is our city and our rules apply here.

Just as we respect the rules of your lands,
you should respect our rules, too.

Bali Bey, Samil Bey,
you two come with me.

Let the others stay outside.

Show us the way.

Open the door!

Open it!

Open up, gentlemen!

Guys! Friends! Brothers!

-What is it, Irfan Agha?
-Draw your swords, Aghas!

-What's up, Agha?
-Today is a day of chivalry!

They have violated
the honor of the Janissaries!

-What happened, Irfan Agha?
-Is everything alright, Agha?

The Akincis have united and are
k*lling our brothers and comrades!

I saw it with my own eyes!

How is that possible?

Today is Union Day, brothers!

Today is a day of brotherhood!

Today is a day of honor, brothers!

Whoever considers himself a man, let him
draw his sword and follow me, gentlemen!

-Let's move! He's right!
-Stop, gentlemen! Stop!

Don't let your anger flare up!

Let's wait for Huseyin Agha and
let's not do anything until he comes.

This is not the time to wait
and be patient, gentlemen!

We will tighten the capital on the Akinci!

We will not let the spilled
blood of our brothers go to waste!

Let's go!

-What are you doing, brothers?
-Stop it, gentlemen! Don't do it!

Do nothing until he returns!

-Come on!
-Don't do it, gentlemen, stop!

My Sultan?

Where are we headed, brothers?

The knights of Akincis gathered
and shed the blood of our brothers.

You know the Janissary Legion.

We and the Legion are one.

The legion and we are one.

We will not let our blood
be spilled on the ground.

Step aside now, and don't stand
in our way, Sultan Mehmed!

You have rebelled against Huseyin Agha.

I have forgiven you.

You have wronged Dogan Pasa.

I forgave you.

While all this is happening...

Did you think I neither see nor hear?

But...

The fire of my anger has exceeded
the limit of my patience.

Life has taught me something.

In the face of rebellion...

No forgiveness, no mercy!

Only strength...

Only determination!

As for those who were deceived
by the claim of manhood...

And goes after the shedding of
brothers' blood, I know you very well.

I will not say anything.

-Huseyin Agha.
-My Hunkar!

Gather all those who disobeyed
and were arrogant,

Those who thought that
we neither see nor hear,

And plotted against us
behind our backs, one by one.

They will be held accountable.

The order is that of my master, the Sultan.

"RAGUSA"

Dear Mustafa...

Thanks to you, we cured a great
disease before the campaign.

What I have seen and what I
have learned is from you, my Hunkar.

Now we come to the most
difficult part of your task.

The ruler has anger in one hand
and mercy in the other.

And the true ruler...

He is the one whose scale
of justice is never unbalanced.

But when the need arises, he
knows how to inflict punishment.

Which one does your heart
incline towards, my Hunkar?

This time it's your turn, Mustafa.

You are the one who will make the decision.

The rebel soldiers were brought
to Bab al-Saada Square, my Sultan.

Come on, my lion.

The arena is yours.

"RAGUSA"

Welcome, Shehzade Bayezid.

We are pleased to see an Ottoman here.

We hope this will be our last meeting.

Give us what we want,
and we will never come back.

Then both parties will be satisfied.

What can we do for you?

We are on the brink of w*r with Bosnia.

And you, by supporting
our enemies with gold...

You have already declared your position.

The merchants have only one side.

It is money.

We did what was necessary for our business.

And we did what was necessary as well.

We confiscated the three million
pieces of gold that you sent to Bosnia.

What does it mean?

Do you have them all?

Do you think w*r is a game?

Do you think you control
the strings from this table?

The w*r is fought on the b*ttlefield.

So we entered the field
and cut off your support for our enemy.

We broke their arms and wings.

What do you want from us?

I have come to you with
the mercy of Sultan Mehmed.

We did nothing to deserve mercy.

On the contrary, by showing loyalty to
them you have committed a crime against us.

And now...

You will pay in gold as much
as was confiscated from you.

Our merciful Sultan will not
pardon you except on this condition.

Okay.

We will give you as much gold
as you ask for.

But from now on,
countries that are indebted to us...

They will not send a single
merchant ship to Constantinople.

Not a single merchant will
pass through our caravan routes.

All the world's wars are fought
with our gold.

No w*r ends without our consent.

What gives you the power
to address us with such arrogance?

Don't be fooled by what you see.

Yes, we do not have a country.

Nor great armies.

But we have a power that no one sees
and no mind can comprehend.

Your sultan knows that
whoever fights us loses.

Attention!

Your Highness Shehzade Mustafa!

Manliness is not just
about brandishing a sword.

Manliness is about
controlling yourself.

And control your desires.

And do not extend your hand
to the rights of the people.

But you in this legion did not
want to be sl*ves...

Rather, you wanted to be masters.

You preferred a handful
of silver to the state system.

Today, you are not the only
ones being tried before me.

The one convicted in this arena...

It is passion that violated
the covenant of the legion.

But the state also lives by its mercy.

Mercy is not about taking lives...

Rather, it is first and
foremost an invitation...

To the straight path
that lies before you.

My Shehzade, our souls have been stirred.

Lust blinded us.

We made a mistake.

Show your generosity, and forgive us.

We have seen the right path,
my Shehzade!

Have mercy on us!
Have mercy on us!

You are right, brothers!
We are humans.

He makes mistakes,
and his desires overcome him.

But let it be known that...

Mercy, if it opens the door to betrayal,
turns into injustice.

If it pardons those who
disrupt the state's order...

And disturbs the peace of the people...

Justice is lost!

You have set your
sights on the rights of the people,

And tarnished the shadow of the state.

Therefore, my judgment is final!

"RAGUSA"

And you know that...

There is no one whom
our Sultan cannot fight,

And no one he can't win against.

Do not speak words that are beyond your
capacity for the sake of a handful of gold.

Otherwise...

Those golden pieces will be placed
one after the other in your throats,

And you will suffocate!

It seems the Sultan sent you too
for that handful of gold.

Let him stop chasing money
and do what he does best.

-Let him go and fight.
-We are not after gold.

We live only for the sake of Allah,
and we fight for Him.

The punishment we imposed on you...

This is the price you pay
for helping the enemies of Islam.

We may pay the price with our lives...

As for the price you will pay...

It will destroy your country completely.

As long as you don't understand words...

We will address you
in the language you understand.

I'll put your heads,
which the world cannot contain, in bags...

And throw at the feet of Sultan Mehmed.

Peace be upon you, my nephew.

I told you that we have hidden powers.

What is this, Vlad?

What brought you here?

Bayezid!

When I heard that you were coming here,
I came to visit you.

After all, I am your uncle.

Half of a father.

-What betrayal are you plotting now?
-No betrayal.

On the contrary, I came to help
Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror.

What help?

Bosnia has brought
your father great problems.

And I will eradicate those problems
from their roots today, Bayezid.

And how will you do that?

I'll explain it in detail
so that those around you...

Can hear it clearly, so
listen carefully, Bayezid.

You will die here today, Bayezid!

And your dear father will come out...

In that long-awaited campaign.

Now show me...

Are you truly the son of Sultan
Mehmed the Conqueror...

Or not?

And may your end...

Be a lesson for the Janissary corps!

Masha'Allah.

Masha'Allah.

Such a son is a pillar of the state.

It was raised by a statesman
like you, Mahmoud.

Nothing else can be expected
of him in any case.

The credit is not ours.

Every plant that grows under
the rule of someone like you...

It must take root.

The lion cub is a lion.

Especially if that lion
has a friend like you.

Without any delay,
take your place in the court.

You quickly won my heart, Mahmoud.

Therefore, I appoint you as a minister
from among the ministers of the dome.

Forgive me, my Hunkar.

But how did you find out about all this?

The state does not work alone.

I draw the way...

And I know who walks in it.

They think that...

Someone else will take that step.

But...

Before a stone moves from its place...

The game has been
around for a long time.
