Post by bunniefuu »

So..

You wanted to catch me to end
the w*r Dolat declared on you.

However, that w*r will happen.

You will die here while there
will be a blood bath there.

Take off your helmets.

I said, take them off!

Where is Salahuddin?

Guards did not search us thoroughly.

Bernard might be tricking us.

Karategin will be at the
wedding square no matter what.

Let the Serhad Ghazis continue.

And we will strike Bernard
where he will least expect it.

Bismillah.

Salahuddin.

Bernard will come after us, come on.

-After them, now!
-Run now!

-You are mine now, my treasure!
-You lowly man, let go!

-k*ll them!
-I will k*ll you myself!

I will come back to you Bernard!

Catch him!

Come on, this way! After him!

I will make you pay for
this you bloody dastard!

Come with me!

This way!

You knew they enter Jerusalem!

They trashed everywhere and got away!

They can not escape anywhere. I will
have their heads and gift them to you!

Elisa! Take your men and search everywhere!

-Come on, move!
-Be quick!

Salahuddin will not leave Quds alive! Move!

Salahuddin!

This bloody dastard put his
men everywhere, let us run now!

Bernard will come after us.
I will not leave without taking him.

How will we take him?

Karategin, you draw Bernard to the gates.

We will set up an ambush there.

And you will wait outside, come on.

Come with me!

I will send your life to the red hell!

Catch them!

Karategin will draw Bernard to the gate.

We should hurry. Come on.

Attack!

They're here!

There they are! Catch them!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Let's draw the bloody dastard to the
gate! Salahuddin will be waiting there!

Hurry up! Otherwise, we'll
become holey cheese here!

There they are! k*ll them!

Move.

You two go that way! Hurry up!

Sir, Salahuddin and his men
are at the street in the north.

Well.. Now I got you, Salahuddin. Move!

My Amir, Bernard got informed! What now?

We were supposed to
draw Bernard to the gate!

Our plan got ruined!

Search everywhere!
Check every corner!

Find them!

Hey. Well...

Salahuddin couldn't make it to the gate.

The bloody dastard stopped chasing us.

We can't wait any longer.
We have to get out of here.

Salahuddin told us to
wait outside. Let's go.

We're leaving Al-quds. Come on!

Go check over there! You come with me!

We saw them in this street, sir.

Hey.

What happened here?

We tried to catch Salahuddin
and his men but they escaped, sir.

-Do you know where they have gone?
-Yes. That way, sir.

Show me.

There are no footprints around.

Are you sure they have come this way?

We are! We are!

There they are!

Karategin.

My game starts where
you think it ends, Bernard.

My Sultan, our spies have sent a
message. Melik Dolat left the headquarters.

That's why they haven't
started the attack yet.

But why would he leave the headquarters
just as the w*r is about to start?

-Do you have any information?
-No, my Sultan.

He must be up to something.

Everybody should be cautious.

My game hasn't ended yet, Salahuddin.

Hey! What is this?

Break it! Break it! Just break it!

Tell Dolat to stand ready in case
Salahuddin plays a trick to draw me out.

-I'll throw Salahuddin into his arms.
-Yes, sir.

I'll shed your blood before
my son's blood dries up.

I will take my revenge here.

Your son's k*ller is Bernard.

Why would I work so much to catch
him otherwise? You are making a mistake.

Your enemy is standing right beside you.

The one right beside me is my ally.

My enemy is at the end of my sword.

Now your head is halal
to me for my vengeance.

Melik Dolat hasn't come back to
the headquarters yet, my Sultan.

This is not good.

There might be a game
behind this, my Sultan.

He is probably trying to do something.

Making a move before we
learn what he is trying to do...

..will be a mistake.

Shirkuh. Take a few soldiers with you...

...find out what Dolat is trying to do.

Yes, my Sultan.

You are making your son feel
pain with what you are doing.

You are being deceived by the same game.

Your m*rder*r is standing by your side.

Dolat's son and his soldiers
were going to protect Gaza.

Why would I k*ll them?

I'd expect smarter lies from a
smart man like you, Salahuddin.

Bernard is right. Zengi soldiers were
at the place where they were attacked.

Those who attacked you before
were wearing Zengi soldiers' clothes.

You are being lured into the same game!

You were standing next to my son!

Because I found out that Bernard was going
to attack and tried to arrive in time.

Wouldn't I be able to
k*ll Bernard if I wanted to?

I brought him here to reveal the truth...

...and prevent others from
shedding brotherly blood.

Why don't you understand?
-How long are we going to hear your lies?

Salahuddin k*lled your son.
He ruined my wedding day.

k*ll him.

I rained disaster on your wedding!

I will take the red pike
from you as well, don't worry.

I tried to bring this dastard here
for your revenge, for your son.

Now you are going to
k*ll me because of his trap.

And you are not even going
to do it with your own might.

Men k*ll their enemies bravely.

But you are going to k*ll me
here and leave without bravery.

I will not k*ll you here.

I will take you to Nureddin
Zengi and k*ll you in front of him.

Why aren't you going to
k*ll him here? We captured

him against all the
difficulties, cut his head off!

Stay out of it! This is my revenge.

I did not call you here for this.

I will k*ll him if you
are not going to k*ll him!

I have the right of blood.

I will take him and k*ll him in
front of Nureddin Zengi and others!

Everyone will see how brave...

..and honest I am.

Melik Dolat surrounded Damascus, my Melik.

The w*r is at our door. -Really?

But I told my Agha Sultan. I told him that
he wouldn't be able to deal with Dolat.

Now this is the result. They
surrounded the city of throne.

Not everyone's mind is as
sharp as a tiger, my Melik.

It would be different if it was you. But...

...what can we do? They
took everything from us.

I am still the heir of this state.

And it is my duty to do what
is necessary for the state.

It is time for tiger to show itself.

Walk.

Tulparma... My horse, who was as fast as
the wind... I feel sorry for him the most.

-Why is that Karategin?
-It is our tradition.

When a man dies, they k*ll
his horse and bury it with him.

For his soul to arrive in
heaven on his horse's back.

What a shame.. He is
going to die because of me.

He will leave without
having fun with a mare.

Where there is life,
there is hope, Karategin.

Salahuddin! -Uncle!

Let him go, Melik Dolat.
-I will, Shirkuh!

I will. But... I will k*ll him
in front of Nureddin Zengi...

...and I will drop his
dead body before you.

I will not let you hurt my
feelings unless you k*ll me!

Then I will k*ll you first!

Stop! Uncle!

Stop! Uncle!

Drop your swords!

We are doing all this to prevent
shedding blood, drop your swords.

He is talking about k*lling you in
front of the Sultan, my nephew!

You will inform our Sultan about this.

Do not draw your swords..

...even if it is going to
cost my life. Try negotiating.

Revenge cannot be negotiated.

If you are going to do it before
the Sultan, fulfill the custom.

Our laws require revenge and w*r.

Our laws require revenge and w*r.

You cannot expect him to obey
the traditions and laws, my nephew.

Let us be the ones to
carry out the traditions...

..even if it means death.

Do as I say, uncle.

Our Sultan will understand me.

How could you hand over Salahuddin
to Dolat instead of k*lling him?

I wanted him to be
k*lled right there and then!

But he insisted that he would
k*ll him in front of Nureddin.

We will soon hear the
news of Salahuddin's death.

The w*r will begin. Let's
just complete our wedding.

As if it wasn't enough that...

...they entered our capital, raided
the wedding and destroyed everything...

...the Zengis and Seljuks
still haven't waged w*r.

How can you stand there and
say let's complete our wedding?

Your mother k*lled our father.

But we protect your throne as we promised.

Don't exceed your limits.

Actually, you are exceeding
your limits. Keep your promise...

...and marry Bernard.

Otherwise...

..we will leave..

...and you will have
no throne left to sit on.

You will say goodbye to Jerusalem
and your legendary beauty.

I think that's clear enough, my Queen.

Let's just complete the wedding.

That Dolat took Salahuddin c*ptive...

...why didn't you cut his head off?

Salahuddin stopped us, my Sultan.

What do you mean he stopped you?

He wanted no bloodshed or w*r to break out.

He said, "Our Sultan should negotiate."

They are waiting for
you in front of Damascus.

Dolat lit the fuse of this w*r.

But I will burn him to ashes!

My unfortunate Yusuf...
He is in a dark well again..

We cannot let Dolat keep my brother.

Then what are we waiting for?

Let's go and raid Dolat's
headquarters, then we will take him out.

Let alone dark wells, even
if they hide him seven layers

underground, we will take
Salahuddin out of there.

Calm down first. Who starts
up in anger sits down with a loss.

I will go and talk to our Sultan.

We will find a way out.

How are you going to leave, father?
Dolat's soldiers surrounded our tribe.

I will take my Alps and
leave with my father.

We will get rid of his guards and leave.

If you k*ll his soldiers..

...Dolat will get even
more furious, won't he?

What if they k*ll my
Salahuddin because of this?

Don't worry mother. We are not
going to shed our brothers' blood.

We will put the guards out and leave.

Come on. Hurry.

Salahuddin.

The enemy fools you

and you keep attacking
the wrong side, Dolat!

This was the last straw.

That sword will cut your head in the end.

My intention is to cut Salahuddin's head.

I wanted to fulfill the tradition

even though you don't deserve it.

Instead of using swords,
let's negotiate, my Sultan.

Negotiate what, Salahuddin?
He detained Melike Hatun.

He took you as a hostage,
from now on, his heedless head

will only come to his
senses with the sword.

Should we ruin all of our efforts, my
Sultan? Let us be the ones to compromise.

Let's not make the enemy
happy by shedding blood in vain.

Tell me. What do you want

in exchange for Melike and

-Salahuddin's lives?
-And for Karategin.

-Salahuddin's lives? -And for Karategin.

My Sultan, ask him what he wants
in exchange for Karategin's life?

I have only one condition

honor my son's soul and
appease my vengeance.

You will obey me and
you will pay blood price

for the life of my son.

I do not obey anyone, I've told you before.

Don't be an opportunist.

If you refuse now,
then Salahuddin will die.

With my death, not only me but
thousands of Muslims will be dead.

There will be a battle
between Seljuks and us.

Accept Melik Dolat's offer.

Stop this bloodshed.

How could you say that, Salahuddin?

We established this state with hard work.

You have witnessed this up close.

How could you tell us to obey
because of an enemy slander?

To crush our enemies and
reveal the their slanders, my Sultan.

We need time.

I already want to k*ll Salahuddin.

If you want him to live, make
up your mind, Nureddin Zengi.

I accept it.

I will obey you.

I will also pay your blood price.

How precious is Salahuddin.

You let your state be subjugated for him.

Very well, show your allegiance.

It concerns the state.

I need to summon the heads of state.

I need time.

I give you time until sunset,
if you don't pledge allegiance

and pay your price, Salahuddin will die.

And the w*r will begin.

Karategin was also captured
what were you doing?

Why weren't you with your Bey?

My Bey didn't tell us that he will
go to Quds with Emir Salahuddin.

Otherwise we would
be with him, Ismet Hatun.

The tribe is empty, we don't
know what Dolat would do.

He might raid.

Go to the tribe and
take all the precautions.

-Ilbuke, you too.
-Yes, sister.

I can see that you're still
trying to put your tribe in order.

Karategin was captured.

Of course I'll deal with it.

Our state has the same problem.

As a Hatun of Sultan, shouldn't
you dedicate yourself to this place?

Don't you always say that Sultan
deals with the state matters?

Here it is. He went to meet Dolat.

If one part of my body is here,
the other part is in my homeland.

I'll do whatever needed for my
brother and for my homeland.

I won't let anyone else deal with it.

Isn't that Emir Salahuddin, Melike Hatun?

Salahuddin?

Salahuddin, what happened?

Did Dolat take you as hostages as well?

Our Sultan has negotiated, we
will be saved soon, InshaAllah.

-Is there anything I can do for you?
-Yes.

Talk to your brother
and have him set us free.

-Better be safe than sorry.
-It's not the right time.

Dolat is out of control, I
know what to do to him.

Come on, move.

Why did you say it
is not the right time?

It is always the right time
to be saved, Salahuddin.

You will get it soon.

Salahuddin must be up to something.

Otherwise he wouldn't have
behaved that way. He would never

let me pledge loyalty.

Dolat gave time until
the evening. My Sultan

what if Salahuddin's plan fails?

We need to find out
what Salahuddin will do.

We will move accordingly.

Let's try to put our spies in
Dolat's outpost, my Sultan.

They can learn what he
will do from Emir Salahuddin.

Not spies. Dolat must
have taken precautions.

If it is revealed, Salahuddin's
life will be in danger.

Who else from us

can enter Dolat's outpost?

Hadhrat Omer Melia.

Only Hadhrat Omer Melia
can enter Dolat's outpost.

Why did you capture Salahuddin?

Here, take a seat, sister. Let's eat food.

Why did you capture Salahuddin?

He took part in Iltutmus' death.

-Don't talk like you don't know about it.
-I'm tired of your stubbornness.

You let enemy fool you and you
make Iltutmus turn in his grave.

I talked to Nureddin Zengi.

He accepted to pledge loyalty
to me and pay blood price.

Then this matter will be settled.

How did Nureddin accept obeying?

He realized that he doesn't
have the power to fight me.

He will pledge loyalty after he discuss it

with his state officials.

Nureddin is not someone
who would accept obeying.

If he doesn't and if he tries to make plans

then Salahuddin will die
and there will be a w*r.

My Emir.

How did Sultan Nureddin
accept obeying Melik Dolat?

-He realized what I wanted to do.
-What do you want to do?

Dolat obviously wants w*r.

My intention was for Dolat
to bring us to the outpost.

We bought time by negotiating.

Well... We're in the
headquarters. What now?

We'll break Dolat's w*r force
and stop the fight before it begins.

We should get rid of these ties first.

Then we'll destroy Dolat's siege weapons.

So his w*r force will be broken.
We'll also save Melike Hatun.

So Dolat will have nothing
left against our Sultan.

Then we'll reveal the truth.

Melik Dolat wanted to
make us fall into the trap.

But he himself fell into it.

Be ready. We'll take action shortly.

Smile a bit.

Today, you're going to be my wife.

Commander Bernard.

While there are wedding preparations
inside, how dare you come here?

I have important news.

Melik Dolat didn't k*ll Salahuddin.

The w*r hasn't begun.

How come?

Sultan Nureddin made an
agreement with Melik Dolat.

He wanted to consider about
pledging loyalty till the evening.

Get out! Out!

I told you. We can't be at
ease before Salahuddin is dead.

You wanted to make them
fight but they're getting united.

I won't let them do this.

Everything you said you
wouldn't let has happened.

You couldn't keep any
promises that you gave me.

You couldn't achieve anything!

But remember this. If
my throne isn't secured

...you can't marry me or get the throne.

-There must be a game up.
-What will we do, sir?

We'll prevent Dolat from making
an agreement with Nureddin.

We'll get Salahuddin k*lled and
start the w*r as soon as possible.

My Sultan, Melik Mevdud is here.

Let him in. Let him in.

What are you doing here?

Our throne city is besieged.

I came to ask you how you managed
to make Seljuks turn against you.

You have no rights to ask anything!

This matter will be settled soon.

What are you still waiting for?
Salahuddin got taken c*ptive by Dolat.

Are you worried about Salahuddin's life?

You attempted to execute even
your brother without hesitation.

Is Salahuddin's life more
important than the state?

Both Salahuddin and the
state have been slandered vilely.

The one who k*lled Dolat's son...

...and attacked him previously was Bernard.

Salahuddin got caught by
Dolat while trying to reveal this.

Of course, I'm worried about his life!

And I will do the necessary for the state.

Was it Bernard..

...who performed the
attack on Dolat earlier?

How could I know? I'm not Bernard's aide!

But you were his ally!

If it gets revealed that it was
Bernard who performed the attack

...it'll also be revealed that it
was him who k*lled Dolat's son.

If you know

...just tell me, Mevdud.

I know nothing.

When I settle this matter

..I will take care of Bernard.

I will reveal that it was
him who did everything.

If you know something
but keep silent, Mevdud,

...I will cut off your head this time.

My tiger!

My dear mother.

Are you here to support your
brother in these hard times?

That's what would suit you.

I came here to support but...

...my brother rejected me, mother.

I told him to let me handle the matter with
Dolat. I said I wanted nothing in return.

But he treated me like an enemy.

He despised me.

-Why would he do that?
-He's just too arrogant, mother.

He never wants me to succeed.

Even at the cost of the state collapsing.

Just tolerate him. You know...

-He's been going through a lot.
-No, mother.

I'm heir to the throne. I will do my part.

My tiger, don't drive your brother
mad by doing things on your own.

I'm out of patience.

I don't care who goes mad. I told you.

I said he can't save the state from Dolat.

From now on, everybody will
see who the Tiger of Mosul is.

Your great grandfather
Suleyman Shah, son of Kutalmis

...and your grandfather Kilicarslan...

...made this country grow bigger...

...by struggling with the heathens.

But you're being deceived by the enemy...

...and lending support to them.

You're expected to show adherence.

But you provide sufferings.

Is this worthy of Seljuks?

I both appreciate and respect
you, Omer Melia Effendi.

But you're being unfair to me.

The Zengis gave us much worse sufferings.

I lost my son. What should I have done?

Should I have acted as
if nothing had happened?

If your eyes weren't blinded by anger,

..you could see the truth.

The truth is just obvious.

Besides, this matter will be settled
when Nureddin Zengi pledges loyalty...

...and pays the blood price.

EyvAllah.

I want to see Salahuddin before I leave.

-Why do you want to see him?
-He's your c*ptive, after all.

While I'm here, I want to ask...

..about his health and how he's been doing.

...about his health and
how he's been doing.

Uncle Dervish.

What is it, our Effendi?

We came to see the good in bad.

Here, Uncle Dervish, did you
bring the dark boys as well?

Did you make an arrangement of some sort?

There must be something arranged by now.

We will leave here and
destroy Dolat's siege weapons.

Then, we will save Melike Hatun. That
way, Dolat will not have an advantage.

-Enough of this!
-Do not yell at Uncle Dervish!

He is the man of God.

He can just pray and
bring illness to all of you!

You just stay patient and keep
your heart clean, that will be enough.

Our Sultan will do the rest.

Salahuddin is a part of our life as
well. However, The State is also a topic.

Would the Sultan of Zengis bow down
to anyone he wants when he wants?

Salahuddin must have a plan, mother.

I told him that I will bow
down to earn him some time.

What if Salahuddin's plan does not work?

-What will we do then?
-Karategin is Dolat's c*ptive as well.

Should I go and speak to him?

Where did that come from, Ismet Hatun?

Borus are the Beylik of Seljuks as well.

If I talk to them through this bond, maybe
our Sultan would not need to bow down.

You are not a Hatun of Borus
now. You are a Hatun of Zengis.

Sultan is the one handling
these kind of issues..

..in Zengis.

Hadhrat Omer Melia was going
to go to learn Salahuddin's plan.

We will move accordingly.

We will either handle
everything until sun dawn..

..or we will draw the swords.

The soldiers guarding the siege
weapons has lessened, time to move.

Bernard is here, my Emir.

What is this infidel doing here?

It seems he is worried
since the w*r hasn't started.

What is it, you couldn't find
what you hoped for, Bernard?

What I hope is to take
your life, Salahuddin.

And that is as easy as a sword's length.

Do not worry, that is as
easy to you as it is to me.

You will see that once I abolish your trap.

Bernard fell into our hands. Some
of you will draw Bernard out with me.

Others will destroy the siege weapons..

..and rescue Melike Hatun.
-Here.

Give those hounds to me. I
can handle the siege weapons.

I will save Melike Hatun. You
handle this bloody dastard..

..and let us k*ll him before
he marries the Red Pike.

Bernard has a doing in Iltutmus* death.

Maybe he is the one who k*lled him.

How can you say that?

Did that infidel Bernard..

..try to assassinate Dolat
under Zengi cloak? He did.

Is there a reason for him
to not to repeat that? No.

If you say no, then it is no. However
what is that have to do with us?

If Bernard is held and talked in any way..

..it will be apparent that we had a
hand at the assassination of Dolat.

-Then, we can not save ourselves.
-You are right, however..

What will we do?

Bernard must not be captured, Baybora.

Did I give you Salahuddin for this? So
that you can make a deal with Nureddin?

My intention was to take his head
as well. However, Nureddin Zengi..

..agreed to bow down.

Our aim is to destroy Zengis.
You are giving them a chance.

Try to learn some politics, Bernard.

We will have them in our hands.

It is better than destroying them.

Did he signed to bow down to you?

He will, with the authority from his State.

You keep thinking that. They
will never bow down to you.

They only earned themselves some
time. There is a trickery behind this.

Salahuddin is in my hands.

They can not dare to trick me.

That is why they just can.

You put Salahuddin into your
encampment with your own hands.

He will find a way to get free
and delay the w*r preparations.

Be sure that Nureddin knows about this too.
That is why they earned themselves time.

Both of them will destroy you.

You will neither have your
son's vengeance nor fight for it.

Then, I will take the
necessary precautions.

I will put Salahuddin away
from the encampment.

If they are after some
tricks, they will not make it.

What are we waiting for while
Salahuddin is still under captivity there?

For Dolat to k*ll him?

It is apparent that Salahuddin
has a plan to escape.

Or Dolat would've already k*lled him!

Even Salahuddin has a
plan while being tied up there..

..and The State does not?

If you are asking me this, Eyup..

..your forty years in the
State was for nothing then!

We have a plan of ourselves, of course.

My Sultan, Hadhrat Omer Melia has come.

Let him in.

I've talked with Salahuddin, my Sultan.

His aim was to earn some time.

So that he can destroy..

..the siege weapons inside the encampment..

..and break Dolat's w*r force.

And he will rescue Melike Hatun from Dolat.

This is a very dangerous work.
Salahuddin might act at any time.

We will go as well. Come on.

-Take them.
-What does this mean?

We will take you somewhere
else under Melik Dolat's command.

This place was good. What
will we do at somewhere else?

Shut it, come on!

Destroy the siege weapons.

Rescue Melike Hatun.
We will handle Bernard.

Come on!

Salahuddin is escaping.
You go after Karategin.

-We are ready, my Sultan.
-We will go to the encampment as well.

Salahuddin and those who
are with him are escaping.

They are up to something.

If Salahuddin escapes, he won't obey
you and you can't avenge your son's death.

Have all the soldiers take action!

You can't escape Salahuddin!

They are running to the
forest again, catch them!

We'll ignite the fire bales
and burn the siege weapons.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

Pour the bales.

Lift it up.

Pour them.

Pour them, pour them.

Pour them, pour the bales.

Come on.

Pour them, come on.

Don't pour like that.

Pour it sideways.

Move.

You've been captured, Karategin.

Drop that, what were
you going to do with them?

I got the ruling gift from the Gok God.

He whispered it to me.

He told me to turn this
place into Red Tamu.

Well done!

That's it. Come on.

Let's turn this place
into Red Tamu. Come on!

Throw them, throw them.

I told you to k*ll him there!

I told you that you cannot
stop Salahuddin any other way.

My Melik!

Karategin burned the siege equipment.

If the siege equipment burns,
my whole battle plan will be ruined!

Salahuddin! You go and stop
Karategin. I'll capture Salahuddin.

Bernard has taken the bait.

This way.

Come on, hurry up.

Run, run, this way.

What's going on, what's this smoke?

Melike Hatun, you need
to return to your tribe.

This place is dangerous.

Karategin, what have you done?

We have turned this place into Red
Tamu, we'll take you from here, come on!

Dolat will k*ll you.

He will if he catches
us. Will you come or not?

-Come on.
-Come on!

Come on

Check all the traces.

Salahuddin will not
survive this circle. Move.

Be careful. Check everywhere.

Come on, brave boys.
It's time to corner them.

Come on, come on.

Come here, run.

Come, come.

Look at you. Saying that
my sisters are in Damascus

you stopped Bernard and ruined everything.

And now you burned my siege equipment

and you're trying to kidnap my sister.

Do you think I'm more
coward than you, Karategin?

If Melike Hatun is your sister

she is Sultan Nureddin's wife.

A wife is needed at home.

Dolat, let us go and put
an end to this hostility.

Don't talk, sister. You
listened to this tribesman

and you let your brother down.
I'll make you pay for this later.

Tribesman? When you have a state

first thing you did was
despising tribesmen.

I won't stop even if you k*ll me.

Then you will die!

Move, move!

Capture them! Go after them!

Let's part our ways here. Come on!

They lured us into a trap.

Once we leave this forest...

...we will have saved ourselves.

Karategin!
-They are here! Come on!

Come on!

Look at them! Are you bringing an army...

...against a handful of men?

You have no courage left!

You came just in time.

Now you will..

...always be on my side, Melike. But...

...we are always struggling with problems.

Take Melike Hatun to
the palace, Imad. Soldiers!

Salahuddin... was going to
drag Bernard and capture him.

But I don't know where he set his trap.

Come on. We will go and find Salahuddin.

Our soldiers are getting
k*lled one by one, sir!

How are we going to survive in this trap?

Now it is time to take him.

Who are they? -k*ll them all!

k*ll them all! Catch them! Attack!

We came here to save you.

Who are you?

You will learn where we take you.

Go after Salahuddin!

They burned our siege equipment!

They destroyed our entire battle formation!

You could not defeat them!

They hit your Melik...

...you could not catch
them and cut their arms off!

Melik Hadhrat.

We were about to catch Karategin
and bring Melike Hatun here...

...but Sultan Nureddin attacked
us with his army and saved them.

Any news from Salahuddin?

We haven't heard anything
about him or Bernard, my Melik.

Salahuddin caused all this!

No one will find peace in these lands...

...before we find
Salahuddin and k*ll him...

...and we fight against Nureddin Zengi.

Who are you and
why did you save us?

They are my men.

And I saved you. I
don't let my friends down.

You saved me from a very
difficult situation, my friend.

Why did you do this?

For our alliance to continue.
-Don't worry.

Our alliance got even
stronger with this move of yours.

That's what suits us.

Tiger treated its wounds and stood up.

From now on, we will
go even further with you.

What do you want from me?
-To survive, for now.

What if Salahuddin and Nureddin
find out that you saved me?

They won't know. I took measures.

Even if they do, I will ask
you to do the necessary.

Who are those, my Amir? Why
are they saving Bernard from us?

My Amir, these are Mevdud's soldiers.

How come?

I know from the tiger
figures on their arms.

It seems Melik Mevdud
couldn't k*ll the traitor inside him.

-What now, my Amir?
-We'll go to Sultan Nureddin.

And tell him Melik Mevdud
keeps collaborating with Bernard.

As this matter gets deeper, the traitors
among us will find more chances. Let's go.

No trails from Salahuddin!

Where are they?

We destroyed their w*r weapons.

If Salahuddin had caught
him, he would be here now.

Split up in the woods!
Leave no rocks upturned!

Check every tree hole and under every bush!

Don't come back without Salahuddin!

Well... My duty ends here.

I'm already in enough trouble.

A tribe man should be in his tribe.

Let's go!

And we should be in Damascus while
Dolat is under my nose with his army.

InshaAllah, Salahuddin caught Bernard.

You saved your valuable
life from your brother, huh?

What about the dignity of our state
that you left there, Melike Hatun?

I went to Dolat for the
welfare of our state.

It's not my fault that
he didn't listen to me.

Your fault is disobeying.

You did things on your own.

You put both the life of the sultan's
hatun and the state into danger.

How could I have known that
Dolat would hold me c*ptive?

The ruling women should have foresight.

They use predict every
possibility. This is enough.

You won't get out of the
palace until further notice.

You can't do this to
me. You have no rights.

I'm the head hatun in this palace.

If you think you are the head
hatun, act accordingly then.

Just obey and stay in the palace.

-Mother Kutlu, but...
-No buts.

I gave the order. And
you will obey the order.

From now on, Melike Ha tun
won't take a step out of the palace...

...without my knowledge.

Is that clear?

Salahuddin is alive, my Melik.

-Where is Bernard?
-We don't know, my Melik.

Send a message to Konya. Tell
them to send reinforcements here.

Tell Bernard to send us new siege devices.

Even if my son rises from the dead,

...the w*r will happen
and Salahuddin will die!

Thanks to Allah, you are back alive.

By destroying Dolat's siege devices

...you damaged him hard.

And you helped us buy
some time, Salahuddin.

But the trick he fell into will
make him more dangerous.

I also attempted to catch Bernard
my Sultan. But they saved him.

-Who?
-We checked the bodies.

The proof points out
Melik Mevdud, my Sultan.

-Are you sure, Salahuddin?
-I am, my Sultan.

I asked him if he had any
information about whether

it was Bernard who
performed the attack or not.

That's why he didn't
want Bernard to be caught.

If he had said he knew, his
life would have been in danger.

Let me bring Melik Mevdud here, my Sultan.

He will resist against you.
I'll go catch him personally.

And I will make him
confess what Bernard did!

Sirkuh, prepare the soldiers
immediately. We're going to Ashkelon.

We'll take Melik Mevdud.
Make preparations accordingly.

As you order, my Sultan.

What's the situation in the tribe,
father? Dolat had placed soldiers around.

Turanshah beat some of the soldiers.

I'm going back to the tribe, my Sultan.
We should be cautious against Dolat.

I'll be waiting for your call. If
Melik Mevdud says what he knows,

..we will do the necessary.

We'll raid Ashkelon. We
may face some resistance.

-Prepare the troops accordingly.
-Sirkuh!

What's that supposed to mean?

-Raiding Ashkelon?
-Our Sultan's orders.

-We're making preparations for that.
-Why?

Our Sultan knows the details.

We'll move as soon as Sirkuh
prepares the soldiers. I should be ready.

-As you order, my Sultan.
-Nureddin.

Is it true? Are you raiding Ashkelon?

-Yes, mother.
-Why is that?

You forgave Mevdud short time ago.

He couldn't deserve my mercy.

What did he do to fail you, son?

What makes you so furious
that you're raiding Ashkelon?

He did things not against
me but against the state.

When I bring him to account

..you will see.

If you attack him unfairly, you'll
violate my motherly right on you.

Unfairly?

He has collaborated with the enemy again.

Just as we were about to catch our
biggest enemy, he helped him escape!

Mevdud asked for forgiveness
son. This might be a mistake.

Mevdud wouldn't
collaborate with the enemy.

We have proof, mother.

Salahuddin found out the proof personally.

I forgave him for the sake of you.

But now nobody can save him from me.

I saved..

..Nureddin Zengi's wife, and
instead of bringing feast to me..

..look at the food he
put in front of me. Here.

The wretch on the street eats these.

Here, everyone at the palace
eat what their people eat.

-Be thankful and dig in, come on.
-Alright.

At least there is chicken.

You made us proud too, good job.

Why can't you just be more like this?

Look at my Sister Hatun.

Here I thought you would be angry at
me. Since I rescued Melike Hatun and all.

-Why would I get angry to you?
-Isn't she your rival?

You were the only wife when she
was gone. Must've been pretty good.

However, she has come again.

Stop babbling, come on.

I took refuge in Salahuddin's tribe.

I fell in Dolat's captivity. Sister Hatun..

..you didn't go to our
tribe once. Shame on you.

I did what is needed.
I sent Ilbuke there too.

You are not Ilbuke though, Sister Hatun.

You are the mighty Ismet Hatun.

You should've gone to our
tribe. Claimed our throne.

And I should've said that
there is nothing to worry.

I am a wife of Sultan. I
can't just leave the palace.

On top of that, Kutlu
Hatun is on us as well.

Babbling of the mother-in-law you say.

Look at my Ismet Hatun here.

The mighty Ismet Hatun.

Look at the Hatun who
ruled Boru and other tribes.

Hearing babbling..

..sitting beside Nureddin Zengi's.

-Divorce him.
-Tawba astagfirullah.

I am telling you, divorce
him. This is enough.

Other wife on one hand and
the mother-in-law on the other.

About Nureddin Zengi, here.

Look at the food he gave.
You will be hungry here.

Let us go back to our
tribe. Let us rule our own.

-Come on.
-Come on, stop talking and eat.

Where is the food?

Is this it? Enough.

I am full anyways. I will go.

I will gather my thing and go
away from Salahuddin's tribe.

Alright. Let me send you off then.

I made your brother forgive you in my name.

You bring only shame
to your mother, Mevdud.

What are you saying, mother?
Where did that come from?

You made a deal with the enemy.

You saved them as they
were about to be caught?

That is slander!

How can you believe that?

There is evidence.

Salahuddin discovered your men.

Sultan Nureddin is coming here.

Hold all of Mevdud's soldiers.

Melik Mevdud must be
in inner castle, my Sultan.

I will tear him apart myself.

We will get out of
Ashkelon at once, Baybora.

Stop, don't run away. It
will be worse if you do.

If you surrender, maybe
your brother will forgive you.

I will not surrender,
nor ask for forgiveness.

Mother?

-Where is Mevdud?
-He ran off after hearing you coming.

What are you doing here, mother?

I couldn't keep myself after
hearing what Mevdud did from you.

-I wanted to come and hear for myself.
-How can you do such a thing, mother?

If you didn't tell him, maybe
he couldn't have ran off.

My intention was not to make him run off.

You forgave him in my name.
He did harm to me as well.

Mother.

He will get out from the
passages. Tell soldiers to seal them.

We will go as well.

My brother Sultan must be after
us. We need to get out at once.

Move!

-Door sound.
We will go from here.

Come on. Be quick they are after us.

-Do not move!
-Stop!

Surrender, Melik Mevdud!

Come on, open it up.

Attack!

We need to leave, Baybora!

I will protect you!

-Where is Mevdud?
-He got away, my Sultan.

Shirkuh, send soldiers after him.

We will find him no matter what.

As you command, my Sultan.
Scatter around, come on!

If we were a little bit more late,
we would be in Sultan's hands.

Now, he will come after
us with all of his soldiers.

It went out of control now.
There is no going back.

We've lost Ashkelon as
well. What will we do now?

We will go to Gaza.

They will see the tiger's claw then.

I hope our Sultan makes Mevdud talk.

If what Bernard did becomes apparent..

Dolat will be gone.

I hope it gets revealed
until Dolat starts the battle

Even if you delayed their preparations..

..they will continue preparing.

Atsiz, give Serhad Ghazis duties.

Let them learn what
Dolat is doing for the w*r.

As you command, my Bey.

You came back, but...

...I am afraid that trouble named
Dolat won't stop coming after you.

Soon, we will get rid of
that trouble, don't worry.

The tribe was surrounded
and you were not here.

We protected ourselves again.

Good, alright.

You showed your talent with your
hand, not with your tongue this time.

But... this will not keep happening.

Dolat apparently holds you responsible...

...for his son's death.
You can save yourself...

...by going to those places in the future.

But what is going to happen to this tribe?
-Don't worry.

We will get rid of that
trouble named Dolat soon.

And I will help you get
rid of that worry of yours.

Good.

Melik Dolat asked for siege
equipment, what are we going to do?

Apparently, the fire that burns
for w*r in Dolat got even stronger.

And we will fuel it. Send
news to Jerusalem now...

...the Queen will send some of
our siege equipment to Dolat.

Sir. Melik Mevdud came.

What is he doing here? Let him in.
-Yes sir.

What happened to you, Tiger? You seem mad.

My Agha raided Ashkelon.
-Why did he do this?

They understood
that I saved you from

Salahuddin. If they hadn't
told me beforehand...

...I would have been caught.

What are you going to do now?
-I saved you!

Now you will open the doors of Gaza to me!

From now on, I will live in Gaza.

Are you insane?

Taking refuge in Gaza clearly
means that you are opposing Nureddin.

It means risking your life.

They're taking everything
from me! I don't need such life!

But... if I settle in Gaza, my
reputation will increase again.

I will gain my strength back.

How is that going to happen?
You don't even have soldiers.

I will gain my reputation
once I settle in Gaza.

And my soldiers in my Agha's army...

...will come to me after hearing this.

And this will be useful for you.
My Agha's army will be split in two.

In the end, you are a Zengi Melik.

While I am trying to protect
Gaza from Nureddin...

...Zengis will enter Gaza
because of you again.

I cannot let this happen.

I am not related to my
Agha or the state anymore.

From now on, I will be a
free and independent Emir.

If I get stronger, Sultan
Nureddin will get weaker.

Now... will you open
the doors of Gaza to me?

My Sultan... We received
news from our soldiers.

Melik Mevdud went to Gaza.

That dastard took refuge in the
shadow of Bernard who he saved.

Therefore, he has exposed
that he worked with Bernard.

The important thing is to get him to
confess what he knows about Bernard...

...and get rid of the Dolat trouble.

What is your order?
-Place soldiers around Gaza.

As soon as Mevdud
shows up, we will catch him.

Take it off, take it off my Albiz.
Take our lion, then we will leave.

A wolf must rest in its nest.

Albiz! Look! Look at the gazelle!

She is changing her way
to see me! You see! Girl!

You're hopping like a gazelle...

...and ignoring me.

Aren't you going to say goodbye to me?
Won't you pour water after me or something?

Go safely, what else can I say?
-Look...

Look at the beauty of this phyllo.

I must say... I will...

...miss the meals you cooked for me.

It was healing for both
my stomach and my heart.

I am glad. I have to go now.

Will you cook food for
me and send them to me?

Why would I?

I will be alone in the
tribe. I have no one.

I don't have my Sister Hatun. I don't
have my little sister. I am all alone.

Who else can I ask? Albiz? Don't come!

Don't come, Albiz. You come every
time I call your name. Stay away.

If I tell him to make ayran, he cannot.

As you see... What can I do?

Being single is difficult. Being single...

..is hard. It makes a man..

..feel miserable.

But... if one has hands that..

...give him food and phyllo...
-Rabia!

Mother...
-What are you talking about here?

Come on! Walk!

What were you talking to Karategin about?

He is leaving the tribe,
mother. He told me that.

In front of everyone!

Why are you talking to men who
you don't know in front of everyone?

Mother, I didn't say anything to him.
-Walk! Walk!

Oh my... my shy phyllo.

This place is filled with
Crusaders, my Melik.

We need to have at
least as many soldiers...

...so that we do not remain
in the shadow of the infidels.

The soldiers my Agha has taken
from me are more than sufficient.

But first we need to
bring them to our side.

Send a letter for the army. Our soldiers
must know that we will settle in Gaza.

Then all of them will start leaving
my Agha Sultan and start coming here.

Yes my Melik.

Whatever you have taken from me...

...I will take them all back
with my claws, one by one.

My Emir, we have received news
from Serhad veterans in Al-Quds.

They are preparing siege equipment.

According to the information we
received, he will send them to Dolat.

If he gets those siege
equipment, there will be w*r.

He also does not know
about the Mevdud issue.

If our Sultan made him
speak and revealed the truth....

...all this would end.
Can I come in, my Emir?

Come in.

We received important information.
Melik Mevdud settled in Gaza.

How?
When Sultan Nureddin went to Ashkelon...

...Melik Mevdud ran away.
And then he settled in Gaza.

The soldiers will come together
with him now, our army will get weaker.

We wanted to end the Dolat issue,
but now he will have an opportunity.

I have to talk to our Sultan now. Come on.

We sent news to our
soldiers in the army, my Melik.

We told them that we settled in Gaza.

Did you say "Melik Mevdud entered Gaza,
which even Sultan Nureddin could not enter.

He will announce his Emirate."?

Sure we did, my Melik.

They all started moving
to change their sides.

That's what suits them.

They will gather in front of Gaza tomorrow.

We will announce our
emirate once our soldiers arrive.

The siege equipment are taken out of
Jerusalem and they are on the way, sir.

Melik Dolat will have them tomorrow.
-Good.

Everything is going the way we want.

When your soldiers come here
tomorrow, Nureddin's army will get weak.

When Dolat has the siege
equipment, the w*r will begin tomorrow.

Nureddin will be destroyed as
his military power will weaken.

-Are you upset?
-For what?

Nureddin is your brother, after
all. And his state is your state.

If my brother had been a
brother to me in the right way,

I'd be swinging swords for him and I'd
be planting the banner of conquest for him.

But he didn't value me at all.

Also, I'll establish my own Emirate here.
Even if the Zengi name destroyed there,

it will live with me.

To the glory of us all.

Bernard is getting ready the siege
equipment we wanted, my Melik.

-They all will be here tomorrow.
-Great.

As soon as the siege equipment
is here, the battle will start.

We will destroy every place
and we will k*ll everyone.

-May I come in, my Melik?
-Come on in.

My Melik, Sultan Nureddin
attacked Ashkelon.

Melik Mevdud ran away and settled
in Gaza, he will rule there from now on.

What do you mean he will rule in Gaza.

It was under our protection.

Does Bernard give
Gaza to Mevdud now?

It seems that way, my Melik.

While I'm dealing with
the enemy, those who I

think were friends are
stabbing me behind my back.

They will see the price of
making plans behind my back.

Any news from Mevdud? Did he leave Gaza?

-No, he didn't my Sultan.
-Come on in.

Unrest broke out within
the army, my Sultan.

The soldiers who had previously
been loyal to Malik Mevdud

want to join his side.

That dastard Mevdud did this.

He played dirty tricks inside the
army to gather soldiers by his side.

Melik Dolat will receive
siege equipment from Quds.

If our army divides

Our battle against Dolat will be tough.

We'll go to the barracks right away.

I won't let a single soldier go to Mevdud.

I'll hold them by force if needed.

My Sultan, I've heard
what Melik Mevdud did.

I'm here to talk to you about it.

There's nothing to talk about
Salahuddin. Mevdud's soldiers

are trying to go to his side,
we need to stop it right away.

-Let's not stop it, my Sultan.
-Should we let the army divide?

Also Dolat is bringing siege equipment.

While there's a battle ahead...

If we stop them,

the battle might start and we might lose.

We will hit them in such a spot that

we will ruin Bernard and Mevdud's plan,

and we will prove everything to Dolat.

You took care of Gaza very well.

From now on, it will be a more
beautiful city under my control.

Don't forget that you won't
be the only ruler of Gaza.

We will still be here.

Sir, Melik Dolat is here.

Did you think the eagle's wings were broken

that you are making
sneaky tricks behind it.

We agreed that Gaza would be under my
protection, why did you give it to Mevdud?

-Listen.
-Why would I listen?

While I'm trying to fight Zengis there,

You two were united and
playing tricks against me.

If I wanted to play tricks against you,

why would I give you the
siege equipment for battle?

What does Mevdud have left that

you gave him Gaza.

What did you negotiate

in secret?

You haven't even met the tiger.

The soldiers my brother took from me
will come and be by my side tomorrow.

When my brother's army gets weak

you will get an easy victory tomorrow.

Mevdud will declare his Emirate here.

You will be the greater power

that keeps Gaza under control, don't worry.

We will weaken Nureddin with this move.

When the siege equipment
arrives, start the battle tomorrow

and destroy Nureddin.

If everything is ready for battle,

then tomorrow it is time to swing my sword.

Tomorrow, we will capture Mevdud at the
point where he will meet with his soldiers.

In exchange for his life, we will make
him admit every tricks that Bernard played.

Thus, Dolat will calm down and
change his mind about the w*r.

Will Melik Mevdud admit?

His life should be more precious
than Bernard. He will definitely admit.

The proofs are clear, why would
he run away from our Sultan?

Melik Dolat will start battle as
soon as the siege equipment arrives.

Our time is limited,
Salahuddin, if you can't succeed

both our army power will get weaken
and we won't be able to stop the battle.

I know, my Sultan. That's why I want you to

stop Dolat until I bring Melik Mevdud.

While Dolat wants the battle so bad,

it will be tough. But if you
think this is the only way,

I'll do my part.

I'll immediately take action, my Sultan.

Salahuddin, Mevdud will
have many soldiers there.

How will you surpass
them and capture Mevdud?

Don't worry, my Sultan. I'll
make the necessary plans.

Tomorrow I'll make him fall
into the pit he dug himself.

Our soldiers are on
their way to take our side.

Great. Let's go there.

-Let's welcome the soldiers near Gaza.
-Why do you welcome them near Gaza?

-Let them come here.
-Soldiers must see us first.

Otherwise they won't trust and come Gaza.

Take some of my soldiers with you.

The battle will start as soon as
Dolat gets the siege equipment.

This will be a victory day for all of us.

Come on.

My Emir, Melik Mevdud will
soon come to the meeting place.

We will get him as soon as he arrives.

The siege equipment has arrived
at Melik Dolat's outpost, my Emir.

Sultan will go to talk to him. We need
to take Mevdud as soon as possible.

Here's the siege equipment you wanted.

It is more than enough to destroy Zengis.

Don't worry, it won't be until tonight.

The news that Zengis are destroyed
will reach to Quds and Gaza.

Everyone get ready.
Archers get in position.

Have the siege equipment
ready for the attack.

It is time for battle.

Siege weapons have arrived
Dolat's encampment, my Sultan.

We need to catch up before the attack.
Are there any news from Salahuddin?

Not yet.

InshaAllah, he brings Mevdud
on time or the w*r will break.

Melik Mevdud is coming.

Come on.

My tigers!

The Gaza, which even Sultan
Nureddin could not conquer..

..has become our home!

Everyone saw our strength!

We are not bound to anyone now!

From now on, all victories are ours!

Long live Melik Mevdud!

What does this mean?

You fell into your own trap!

Salahuddin.

We will keep Melik Mevdud's soldiers here.

My Serhad Ghazis will
go there in their stead.

When Melik Mevdud comes,
we will ambush and capture him.

A tiger is not a prey!

It hunts those who comes to hunt!

Attack!

-Is everything ready for the attack?
-Yes, my Melik.

What about Mevdud's soldiers? Are
they separated from Nureddin's army?

According to the
information we got, they did.

Now Nureddin has fallen into my hands.

Then, let the fires of w*r be lit!

-Am I allowed, my Melik? -Come in.

My Melik, Sultan Nureddin is here.

Let him in.

Are you here to stop
the w*r, Nureddin Zengi?

Even if you bow down now, it is no use.

Your head must fall..

..and this will be over.
-I came, Dolat..

..to give you the real k*ller of your son.

This is the end. The hunt is over.

What is your purpose? k*lling me?

-I need you alive.
-What do you mean?

The Tiger of Mosul does not
fall into captivity by an Emir.

Let us fight one on one. To the death.

Keep your blood in you.

I need the secrets in you.

-What do you mean?
-I will take you to Dolat.

You will tell him that Bernard
was the one who attacked him..

..who k*lled his son.

Stop this slander.

I do not have a thing to say.

This is the end, Melik Mevdud.

You will either talk or die.

You are the real K*llers of my son.

That is why I declared w*r
on you. What is there to talk?

The k*ller of your son is Bernard.

I told you many times.
However, you did not believe me.

However, I came here to prove that today.

-How?
-Mevdud..

..knows all the secret things Bernard did.

Salahuddin went to catch Mevdud.

He will bring him here..

..and make him confess in your presence.

I won't buy the lies coming
out of your snake tongue!

I'm getting my own brother
caught and brought here, Dolat.

Just to reveal the truth!

Just to stop brother's
blood from being shed!

You'll wait until Salahuddin comes.

I won't.

I already set the fire or w*r!

Then the fire will burn you first.

Sir, bad news.

-What is it?
-Salahuddin caught Mevdud.

How come?

He disguised as one of the
soldiers coming to Mevdud.

I told Mevdud to send those soldiers here!

He'll ruin us too
because of his own failure!

-What now?
-Salahuddin must be taking Mevdud to Dolat.

He's going to make him
confess everything we have done.

If he does that, they will
all get united against us.

The Zengis and Seljuks
were about to fight each

other. But they'll point
their swords against us now.

I won't let that happen.
Prepare the soldiers.

We'll k*ll Salahuddin and save Mevdud.
-Yes, sir.

Don't. If you harm me

..you can't survive this.

If I wanted to k*ll you, Dolat

...I could have k*lled you
a thousand times by now.

But despite your hostility

..I won't shed brother's blood.

You already shed brother's blood.

There's no brotherhood
between us since that day.

Why did Bernard promise to
give Gaza to Mevdud, Dolat?

Because Mevdud knows it was Bernard...

...who both attacked
you and k*lled your son.

That's why he ran away from
me and took shelter in Gaza.

That's why Bernard helped him!

Don't you see?

Now... Either you'll wait for
a while to avenge your son...

...or I'll shed the first blood here.

Ready.

What is that sound?

The real hunt begins now.

We'll take Melik Mevdud to Dolat's
headquarters through the known road.

Bernard will certainly come
after us. You take positions behind.

We'll make him fall into the trap.

You're trapped, Bernard!

Neither Mevdud nor Dolat
can save you from me now!

Attack!

-Why are you sh**ting him, sir?
-To keep him silent.

You protect me.

Protect Mevdud!

You can't run away from me, Bernard.
