While the Crusaders and Muslims are fighting
on the b*ttlefield to destroy each other...
...they weigh their faith in the eyes
of their enemies with a shining belief.
This actually forms an invisible
bond between them and us.
Today, I have...
...dipped my pen in ink for the sake
of that invisible bond between us.
Emir Shirkuh El Mansur.
Under his command, the Muslim
army achieved great victories.
in the w*r history, he was known as
the fearless and talented commander.
His soldiers loved him with a devotion
that not every commander could receive.
Like every soldier, he was extremely
generous and always kept his word.
I don't know If what I
write will last for the future.
My duty was to deliver justice.
Shirkuh El Mansur...
...Who made everyone stand up in respect
when his name was mentioned, passed away.
Sultan Nureddin...
...after the death
of Emir Shirkuh...
...sent a decree to appoint...
...Emir Salahuddin
to the throne.
Great Sultans come from those
who possess wisdom and courage.
However, this is not enough
for their fortune to shine.
Many people who have been
hoped for fall apart in the wheel of fate.
Whoever has God's wind at
his back, no one can stop him.
What will be
Salahuddin's destiny?
Only God knows that.
BismillahirRahmanirRahim.
This letter is from Salahuddin, the vizier of Egypt and
deputy of El Melik-ul Adil Sultan Nureddin Mahmud Zengi.
I inform you that...
...my throne stands
on these rules.
Mistakes are personal...
...but calamities are common.
Our Allah tests us with a
difficult trial and commands us...
To hold tightly to the
rope of Allah all together.
Do not fall into separation.
I grew up on the frontiers.
I learned the depths of this world
through the shoes of my horse.
I have no intention of
wearing out robes in a palace.
My throne is only the
saddle of my horse.
Wherever there is a mujahid
standing against the infidels...
...he will forever
be my brother.
Do not think that we are
limited by time and space.
The sound of the one
who has faith in his heart..
...reaches everywhere
from east to west.
The horizon of our efforts...
...will continue until there is no land
where His blessed name is not mentioned.
Showing respect to His subjects
is showing respect to Allah.
May peace and
blessings be upon him.
When the Holy
Prophet was greeted...
...he would turn around with
his whole body and respond.
Whenever I see a
broken-hearted person...
...I will keep my face and direction turned to
them until their pain is healed. This is my oath.
The way we walk
on is one of hardship.
Whether I am humiliated or praised
as a vizier, I will never forget my oath.
Al-Quds is my lifeline, and
Masjid Al-agsa is my goal.
Fight against them until there is no more
persecution, and devotion will be to Allah.
If they stop, let there be no hostility
except against the aggressors.
The oppressed are under my wings, and the
oppressors are under the shadow of my sword.
These words are my
promise to the Ahlu Islam...
...and my warning
to the infidels.
My Allah...
...I seek refuge in You
from the throne and...
...Sultanate that will
make me forget Your Truth.
Vizier Hadhrat...
Your vizier brought
joy to all of Egypt.
As usual, the state officials
are present in your presence...
...before the Court of Justice.
We are waiting for your orders.
Was food distributed
to Shirkuh's soldiers?
Yes, my Sultan.
As you ordered, we made
those who he left behind happy.
Shirkuh...
...had been my
confidant since Aleppo.
I still cannot recover.
Only a few mujahids who keep their
promises like him come to these lands.
May Allah grant
him a high place.
He...
...gave us Egypt
as a gift and left.
We've taken brave and important
steps to maintain order in Egypt so far.
Now it's time to maintain
order in the palace and army.
Qadi Fazil.
From now on, he's
both chief clerk...
...and chief justice...
...and my regent.
Atsiz Bey.
He is the chief of the staff.
Bey of a Bey.
Urfali.
He's in charge of the
order and security of the city.
He's also the
head of the cavalry.
Bozok.
The commander of the archers.
Also, he'll collect all the
intel coming from our spies.
Idris Bey will
lead the infantry.
Ibrahim.
You're responsible of
the security in the palace.
The head doctor
of the palace is Latif.
Halil.
He's the head
aide and vice-vizier.
Look at that.
No titles for me.
Bey of Boru Tribe who
has always supported us...
...and has been my confidant...
...IN several situations.
Karategin.
He'll again lead his
own infantry and...
...cavalry as always.
Apart from this,
...he's both the treasurer...
...and the tax collector.
Well...
Tax collector?
Treasure?
Look at this title!
-May Allah help you succeed.
-Aameen.
Get the papers of titles
prepared as soon as possible.
As you order, Mighty Vizier.
Let's not keep people
waiting, Qadi Fazil. Let them in.
Let the council
of justice begin.
Be patient.
Shortly, Mighty Vizier will let you in
one by one to hear your complaints.
May Allah be pleased with him.
We may start with your
permission, Mighty Vizier.
Speak. I'm all ears.
Mighty Vizier, I'm a sl*ve
working in the field of sugarcane.
My family and I
have been starving.
Our master isn't feeding us but
torturing the ones who seeks their rights.
We're sick of this.
Please help us.
What's wrong with the masters?
Why do they
maltreat their sl*ves?
-Do you work less than enough?
-No.
We never leave the
field except the sleep.
Everyone is sick, yet
they still show no mercy.
We're out of patience.
Everyone's waiting for a spark.
I'm afraid nobody can stop
the fury when the fire starts.
Who owns the field?
The nobles of Egypt.
The competition in the
sugar trade has got harsh.
There's no rule.
So...
...sl*ves suffer from that.
You may leave. Go
back to your work.
I'll personally deal
with this matter.
And take care of your
friends until the investigation.
Semse.
Mighty Vizier.
I'd like to express my
complaint with your permission.
What news from Cairo?
The regulations Emir Salahuddin
made after he ascended the throne...
...have been appreciated
in Egypt, my Sultan.
But that's not enough.
What is to give
Egypt the lifeblood...
...is Damascus.
They attacked the Muslim caravan
on the way to Kerek for a reason.
They intend to break the trade
route between Damascus and Cairo.
Who did it?
-The looters? Or Crusaders?
-Does it matter?
Nothing happens without
Kerek's information on that way.
To be able to keep
Cairo standing,
...we need to get
rid of this obstacle.
Will we set our eyes on
Kerek after Harim, my Sultan?
We have to do this to be able
to keep Egypt fully secured.
That place is full of steep
rocks, my brother Sultan.
It's hard and tough.
We should make the
hard easy, Mevdud.
And we have a good
leverage for that.
Countess Mila.
She is the key of Kerek.
What is your complaint?
I complain about
you, Mighty Vizier.
I'm not pleased
with your decision.
They say Mila, the m*rder*r
of Gulcehre, will be released.
Is that true?
I wasn't expecting that either.
The judge passed such judgement
as she wasn't the perpetrator.
And you preferred keeping
silent against the injustice.
Is that so?
Justice isn't always the same
with what our hearts say, Semse.
With the condition that she
will never enter Egypt again,
...she'll be released.
I don't listen to the
law but my conscience.
You disappointed
me, Vizier Salahuddin.
Using your intimacy with Salahuddin,
you got me put in this dungeon.
-It was Chatillon. But you put the blame on me.
-Don't deny it!
You told him about our location.
If you claim this,
...put your evidence forward.
A spy disguising as a
Muslim is saying that
Why are you in Egypt?
Answer me.
For another reason.
It's between Salahuddin and me.
But Salahuddin won in the end.
And you Countess...
...as you deserve, you
will be punished by him.
You really let me down.
I was expecting to see her being
punished and relieve my suffering a bit.
-She didn't commit a crime openly...
-She's being rewarded!
You know what? You should
escort her to Kerek as well!
This is how justice
works, Semse Hatun.
Do you expect me to disobey
the law of Islam as a vizier?
That woman came
here to k*ll you.
She couldn't find
a chance, though.
But she hasn't given up yet.
How could you release
someone who attempts to k*ll you?
Salahuddin is holding
the countess of Kerek.
If we use this leverage smartly,
...we'll be sure about the
non-aggression of the castle.
So the road of hajj and
trade will be secured.
I ask you to write a letter
to Salahuddin in no time.
Sure, my Sultan.
What do you order me to write?
Tell him to send Countess
Mila to me immediately.
She will stand trial in
the court of Damascus.
High crime requires
long interrogation.
By the court decision, we
will drive Kerek into a corner.
If you are to
keep the injustice,
...why did we get rid
of Dirgam and Saver?
You have a harsh
tongue, Semse Hatun!
-Do you think I'm like those demons?
-I don't.
But the clean sheet you opened
will be stained with this judgement.
I'm doing what
my title requires.
You need to know figh and law
before questioning the judgement.
Of course.
How could a Christian
know about justice?
-Right?
-I didn't say that!
I understand, Vizier Salahuddin.
Religion of the
state is justice.
I hope you understand
that one day.
The papers of Countess have
been prepared, Mighty Vizier.
She will be released
with your call.
I will see her.
-We'll go after the council.
-As you order.
The man who the prince saw in the marketplace...
William couldn't find a trail about him yet.
Every moment I see Guy's
face, suspicion eats my heart out.
Balian.
Now I know how it feels
to want to k*ll a person.
Since I came back, these lands have taught
me several feelings that I was a stranger to.
I don't want to run away
from anything anymore.
The future of Ibelin
is still uncertain.
Whatever King Amalrik decides,
...I will never give
up fighting for Ibelin.
The army is disciplined now, your
majesty. There are no rebellions.
Happy to hear that.
I couldn't tolerate an
internal disturbance now.
The defeat in Egypt
and the castle of Harim...
And Salahuddin's
accession to the throne.
All these must have increased
Sultan Nureddin's appetite.
We can't make any more
mistakes, your majesty.
It's not enough that only
Jerusalem is powerful.
All our allies must be
powerful and deterrent.
You intend to talk
about Ibelin, don't you?
That the count of Ibelin hasn't been appointed
yet is a huge security gap in this condition.
And I think Knight Chatillon
is the right man for this title.
Sir, we should remember
that Balian is the lawful heir.
I don't need those who gained
privilege with blood relation...
...but those who deserved
the throne, William.
Come on, work!
Work harder!
Faster!
Come on!
So what? Did
anyone listen to you?
I talked to Vizier personally.
-Let's see if he can solve this.
-Work!
Work harder!
It seems Prince Baldwin
doesn't avoid fighting either.
Excuse me.
Prince Baldwin.
Your sword should
join your body.
-Like a organ of yours.
-How can I do that?
You should forget.
Forget that you're
holding a sword.
The sword needs to
be a part of your body.
Prince Baldwin.
I guess...
...you need a real chevalier
for the sword training, huh?
You are the last person to
talk about the rules of chivalry.
Is the person who can't stay
away from Muslims saying this?
Sir, the first rule is...
You have to look your
enemy in the eve...
...and you must see fear there.
Just like I see fear in
your eyes now, Balian.
Did you see that, my Prince?
He is shocked and scared.
Is this the best
you can do, Balian?
Sir, one of the sl*ves has complained about
you and the other owners to the Vizier.
How did he find
a way to go there?
Which one of them went
there? Stop! Stop, all of you!
Everyone, come here! Line up!
Move!
Which one? Which one
of you went to the palace?
Who are you to
complain about us?
I know how to make you talk.
Come here!
Maybe I can finish the thing I left
half-done in Cairo here, Balian, huh?
It will be hard for you.
Because there's no
woman here to hide behind.
Enough.
How can you disrespect
the Princess like this?
I was showing our Prince
what a real fight looks like.
There is no reason to fight.
Because Ibelin now
belongs to you, Chatillion.
King Amalrik...
...decided to give
Ibelin to Chatillion.
Is this true?
Do you think I would lie to
stop your stupid fight, Chatillion?
Lord Guy, then we
should celebrate this.
My Prince.
Balian.
Please don't do
anything crazy, please.
Balian, please.
Salahuddin.
I hope you don't really think the Vizier of
Egypt would k*ll a defenseless woman in dungeon.
What if that woman kills
the Vizier in dungeon?
Why have you come?
Wasn't the decision
of the court delivered?
You will be released on the condition that
you never set foot in Egyptian lands again.
You will spare my life and set
me free with your own hands.
Is that so?
It's not a trap, don't worry.
That's what crusaders do.
We keep our words.
I wish I had the chance to
explain this to Count Miles.
Don't you say my husband's name.
It's my right to mention my
enemies as well as my friends.
Count Miles...
...threw me into
a well mercilessly.
He then confronted me
with his sword in Egypt.
If I hadn't k*lled him,
he would have k*lled me.
No matter what you say...
...you k*lled him.
That's the truth.
You're wrong.
Those who sent him to me
and left him alone k*lled him.
He was left alone, yes.
But that doesn't mean
the king is our enemy.
Miles' blood is on your hands.
To see the truth, you must get
rid of the grudge in your heart.
Think carefully.
If you realize that you still want to
k*ll me, come and stand before me.
Just as I deliver
justice in Egypt...
...I will also do
justice to the sword.
Vizier Hadhrat.
Countess Mila will be accompanied
by the Guard Unit as she leaves the city.
Of course. However,
there's a more urgent matter.
What the sl*ve said
at the council was true.
The news from the
watchmen are not good.
Let's go.
Balian.
I understand your anger,
but you must be patient.
You already have enough
enemies. If you also oppose the king...
It's not the time for patience
but for questioning them, William.
Prince Baldwin, about
the man he saw there...
I learned some new
things about him.
If you stay calm now...
Sorry, William.
King Amalrik!
Balian!
I see you've heard my
decision about Ibelin.
But I don't understand
why you stand before me.
I am here to tell you that I do
not recognize your decision.
Come here!
Come on! Go and
complain about this!
Balian.
I wish you had shown this
courage against Salahuddin in Egypt.
Maybe then Ibelin
would have been yours.
I accepted that you conditioned what I
rightfully deserved because I trusted you.
But I see I made a big mistake
by believing you would bring peace.
Now, by pushing my limits, you are
about to make an even bigger mistake.
Before you push your luck...
There are no more limits for
me anymore, Your Majesty.
Know that I will do my
best to take what's mine.
Bring him here!
Stop!
They are innocent!
I went to the palace!
Take them away!
Bring him here!
So you were the one who went to the palace
and complained about your owner, huh?
What did you expect?
For him to come here,
free you and everyone here?
No, I just asked for
what we deserved...
This is what you deserve!
This is what you deserve!
This is what you deserve!
Courage is a virtuous feeling.
But there is a very thin line
between courage and foolishness.
And you...
...are on the wrong
side of that line, Balian.
Guards!
If you are facing a king...
...you should always
respect the limits, Balian.
Take Lord Balian to the dungeon.
Let go! Let go!
-Your Majesty! What is happening here?
Lord Balian is learning how to
speak when facing a king, my daughter.
Your Majesty, whatever
happened, please forgive him.
I have done nothing to
be forgiven for, Princess.
Please do not
apologize on my behalf.
His anger comes from his loyalty
to his land, please, Your Majesty.
For my daughter...
...and for the dear memory
of your beloved brother...
...I will do you one
last favor, Balian.
You will appreciate
this favor...
...and return to where
you came from, to Europe.
Immediately.
Otherwise...
...neither my daughter nor the dear
memory of your brother can save you.
And this time, the place
you enter won't be a dungeon.
Look carefully.
Look carefully
and take a lesson.
You exist only to work!
To serve the people of Egypt!
Get this through your heads!
Come here!
Complaining is betrayal to your existence
and the owner of that existence, to us.
Who are the owners
of that existence?
Dear Vizier, what an honor.
You dirtied your feet
with mud and came...
Answer my question.
Whom have these people betrayed?
I am just the guardian of the
property of Egypt's prominent people.
My duty is to ensure that
these people work properly.
You said it yourself. They
are human beings. in my city...
...under my vizier...
...they are defenseless
and helpless.
Aren't you ashamed of torturing
people who work for you? How dare you?
Vizier Hadhrat, of course, you do
not know how things work in Egypt...
...nor who the invisible
owners of Cairo are.
True.
We do not know.
But we know very well...
...what an oppressor deserves.
This place belongs
to Caliph Hadhrat.
We are here with his orders.
The land belongs to the Caliph.
Those who manage this land are
sugar merchants, and soldiers...
...are the ones who
escaped from Shaver's army...
So...
...everything...
...is rented like this field.
-Bozok.
Put all of them in the dungeon.
As you order Vizier Hadhrat.
I knew you'd come
Vizier Hadhrat.
May Allah lighten your burden and
give you happiness in both worlds.
Aameen.
Ibrahim.
Treat his wound.
Come with me.
Find out who this Caliph
works with in detail, Qadi Fazil.
Let's see who these
important people are.
Ibelin matter is solved.
But Kerek is really important.
We will drag the
Countess to our side.
Amalrik must be
surrounded from all sides.
Chatillion.
Take the Countess
and bring her here.
I don't want a slightest
problem to occur.
Do you hear yourself Yaruki?
How can you say that you do not
recognize Salahaddin's vizier?
What is the reason for that?
Emir Selahaddin shows too much
mercy to both friends and enemies.
Governance
requires a strong will.
And he lacks it.
We do not pledge allegiance
to someone who lacks that.
Just when we need unity...
...when we need your help in this
land we are not fully familiar with...
...why do you burn
bridges, Yaruki?
I did not grow up in
a madrasa like you.
I can not say long and
different words like you.
But I follow the path I know.
And that is where
I draw my strength.
I did not just meet
you, Selahaddin.
From the beginning,
you followed your plan.
While thinking this...
...I cannot be a
hypocrite and stay here.
I think that the wide privilege given to the
Ayyubids has no legitimate equivalent, my Sultan.
There is no apparent equivalent
for your concerns, Yaruki.
I have complete
trust in Selahaddin.
But...
...I am aware of your servitude.
For this reason, I
want you to rule..
...the Harim Castle, Yaruki.
We know that they
freed Chatillion.
Apparently, Amalrik will use
him for his hit and run plans.
At such a time, you and your
soldiers will be perfect for Harim Castle.
Forgive me my Sultan.
But I cannot accept this offer.
I don't think I am the
suitable person for Harim.
Besides...
...you will find an Ayyubi Emir
who you can entrust that castle...
...for sure. If you allow me.
Emir Yaruki.
Don't forget.
My son Melik Salih Ismail..
...is still entrusted to you.
Not only those poor sl*ves, but almost
all the people of Egypt is miserable.
Cairo is in a mess.
It will take a very
long time to repair it.
Shaver just cared
about his own pockets.
When I ascended to the throne all I
saw was that the poor got poorer...
...and the rich have
added to their wealth.
Shaver on side, the
Caliph on the other side...
...Saw Egypt as a honey hive.
But...
Now that hive has dried up.
We will cure that dried-up hive.
Go to the Caliph.
Tell him that I want to talk to him immediately.
-Sure.
But...
...what are you thinking?
I will learn how he ignored
this cruelty towards the sl*ves.
-I don't think he will care.
-He will.
Those who turned Egypt
Into this must carry the burden.
And the Caliph will do that.
Salahuddin...
...proved to be ready for
the duty, Mighty Caliph.
He changed the
hodjas of Al-Azhar.
He wants to make Ahlu
Sunnah settle in here.
He dismissed the statesmen who had
worked for the Fatimi State for years...
...and appointed the new ones.
He took charge of the army and chose
the commanders from his loyal men.
And he wants to execute the Fatimi
commanders who objected to him.
He...
...openly ignores
you, Mighty Caliph.
And what he has done recently...
It's worse than anything.
He broke into your property
and slaughter your sl*ve guards.
He planned well
what to do and how.
Sultan Nureddin makes
me feel his breath in my back.
He interfered with the
appointment of the vizier.
So I had to approve it.
Actually, that Emir Yaruki left
Egypt decreased our power.
I thought...
...we could use of Salahuddin's
youth and inexperience.
Seeing what he did,
...I think he's
worse than anyone.
-Qadi Fazil wants to appear before you,
Mighty Caliph. -Stay!
Don't be afraid.
You're under my protection now.
Will you obey King's Amalrik
order and go back to Europe?
We aren't going to
Europe, but Ibelin.
That's...
...son of Barissa,
Count of Ibelin.
Everybody will know.
I will fight to the last drop of
my blood to get what is mine.
Mighty Caliph.
Everybody knows how
this man damaged Egypt.
It's a must to surrender
him to the justice.
Like I didn't surrender
you to Saver,
...I won't give you Cevher.
Cevher...
...is under my
protection in Cairo.
I was innocent,
Mighty Caliph. But...
...it'd take a long life to count
the crimes this man committed!
You also have a part of the
new vizier's offense, Qadi Fazil.
I heard what you
did in my property!
Mighty Caliph.
-sl*ve owners...
-Keep your excuses to yourself!
I know what is done and why.
And I won't ask the Zengis who
I can take under my protection.
Mighty Caliph.
Vizier Salahuddin wants
to meet you in a good time.
I'm here to inform you.
We'll meet.
We'll meet.
It's time to talk face to face.
Mighty Vizier.
From Nureddin Mahmud, Sultan of
Zengi, to Salahuddin, Emir of Egypt.
The new target of our swords
after Egypt is the castle of Kerek.
For this reason, for the preparation
and success of the conquest,
...It's a divine gift that we have
Mila Hatun who rules the castle.
So I have decided that she should
stand trial in the court of Damascus.
So I'm asking you to send Mila
Hatun to the land of Zengi in no time.
My Sultan...
Should I do what my
viziership warrant requires?
Or do what this letter
which invalidates It requires?
Mighty Caliph accepted
meeting you, my Vizier.
What's the matter?
Is the a problem?
Sultan demands Mila.
Your challenge begins
now, Mighty Vizier.
Are you Emir or Vizier?
Emirs obeys the
orders unconditionally.
But a vizier decides himself.
There are two ways
ahead of you now.
You'll either
obey the justice...
...against even a non-Muslim
woman who attempted to k*ll you...
...Or obey Sultan's order and imprison
the person who you said would be free.
It's a tough challenge.
But at this point, it's all
your choice and decision.
I got no exhibition
punishment! No!
No exhibition
punishment! No! Leave me!
I got no exhibition punishment!
Let me go! Leave me!
Behave, woman!
This is the rule!
First, you'll face the people
you disturbed then you'll leave.
Bring them.
No.
I won't be like my aunt. No.
I won't be humiliated like her.
This woman...
...who attempted to harm
the state, Emir and Muslims...
...and worked as a spy
by concealing her identity...
...will first appear before Muslims
and then her guilt will be announced...
...in accordance with the law.
After that, she will be
dismissed from the lands of Islam!
k*ll her! k*ll her!
Forgive me, Countess.
Oh Rayiha...
She'll leave but
her smell stays here.
What a pity. She
was a pretty woman.
All wasted now.
k*ll her!
Take her.
Stop!
My Sultan.
Obviously, Yaruki's
ambition shadows his mind.
So he doesn't know he broke
the unity with careless actions.
There's no explanation for his
hatred and anger against Salahuddin.
I brought him up!
I fully trust Salahuddin
in any conditions.
You do, my brother Sultan.
Yet Yaruki also demands the
trust you show for Salahuddin.
Your affection for Salahuddin
is too heavy for Yaruki.
I should talk to both of them and
settle the matter in a good time, Mevdud.
Yet Salahuddin needs to send
Countess of Kerek to me first.
Countess Mila will
be exiled from Egypt.
But she won't parade
before people like this.
I don't approve this
as Vizier of Egypt.
She'll be taken out of Egypt
safely. Now disperse the crowd.
-Come on! You heard him! Go home.
-Go!
Let's go.
Urfali, Bozok.
Escort Countess to
the outside of Egypt.
-You may go.
-As you order, my Bey.
You should also bring
a palanquin for her!
Why are you doing this to me?
Doing what?
Protecting me.
I'm not protecting
you especially.
No woman should
be treated like this.
I wish there had been someone
who did this for my aunt.
I don't get it.
The man who I
came here to k*ll...
...is giving me a life.
God's mysterious plans...
Stay safe.
Countess.
We can go.
Rayiha!
Good day, Leon.
Old man.
Long time no see.
They say you're following
the coward called Balian.
That's right.
You... Lord Balian.
You made the finest sword
for my family for years.
Right.
Because both your father and brother were
brave counts who deserved the finest swords.
And I'm a coward, huh?
Didn't you just tell Marcus so?
-The coward called Balian...
-You disappeared during Ibelin's hardest times.
Now you desperately
look to King Amalrik.
You're right to think so.
But I'm here now.
And for Ibelin, I
need Ibelin people.
I'll be waiting in the
old inn outside the city.
Soldiers, merchants,
the unemployed...
Bring everyone there who
can speak for me in Ibelin.
By the way,
...your swords
are still the best.
Feeling of waiting for a pretty woman...
I haven't experienced this for years.
This feeling used to make me
feel hungry. Give me an apple.
Apple is good.
Never a rose without the prick.
It seems he didn't get enough of
the punch he got in the b*ttlefield.
Pretty countess.
We've been waiting for you.
I hope those barbarians
didn't dare to maltreat you.
Barbarism is what
your people do.
I've recognized you.
Robert was one
of my best soldiers.
Come fight me if you
have courage right now!
Knight Chatillon...
I want to go back to
Kerek as soon as possible.
This is your lucky day.
But next time, neither you nor
Salahuddin will be this lucky.
Don't mention my Vizier
with your filthy tongue!
We should go.
Send my regards to your vizier.
He and I will meet soon.
Come on!
Come on!
My Countess, I feel ashamed
that I couldn't keep my promise.
But I swear on the
honor of my knighthood...
...that I will bring
Salahuddin to you one day.
You must be exhausted now.
Your home awaits you.
We will have plenty
of time to chat, anyway.
My Sultan, it's from
Vizier Salahuddin in Cairo.
Bad news, my Sultan?
Salahuddin...
...obeyed the decision
of the judges in Egypt...
...and exiled Mila.
We don't have the countess?
How could he do that...
...While her presence was so
important for the conquest of Kerek?
It seems he obey the court.
He could have objected to the
decision and exile her to Damascus.
Maybe,
...he wanted to draw her on our
side by obeying the law, my Sultan.
Mevdud, go to
Egypt in no time...
...and learn the truth.
Of course, my Sultan.
But wouldn't this overshadow
Salahuddin's viziership?
If Melik Mevdud goes to Egypt right
after Salahuddin's accession to the throne,
...that will encourage
the unrest-makers there.
Don't let this happen. He's
still Inexperienced, my Sultan.
I let him be the vizier thinking that
he gained experience as an Emir.
Then... Take Imad with you...
...and go to Kerek.
Catch Countess before she enters the
lands of Crusaders and bring her here.
As you order, my Sultan.
I sent a letter to our Sultan
saying that I freed Countess Mila.
What do you think our
Sultan's reaction to this will be?
Our Sultan will understand.
Vizier Hadhrat, we received
news from our spies in Ibelin.
Lord Balian...
...is gathering soldiers to reclaim the
throne King Amalric gave to Chatillon.
Such an action would
be a disaster for Balian.
Chatillon...
...becoming the Count of Ibelin.
This is not good.
Guy and Chatillon want power.
They want to take Ibelin
and eliminate Balian.
What are you thinking of doing?
Until we achieve the conquest of Al-Quds, It is
best for Balian to have the throne of Ibelin.
Can we do this?
The jackals in silk clothes whose
guards you defeated sent these.
So, they were finally
convinced to pay their taxes.
Those who want to keep
their heads on their shoulders...
...will not set their eyes on the
rights of the state and the people.
If there are other taxes
to be collected, tell me.
I like this duty.
Tax collection is
better than being a Bey.
You never give, you always take.
Get ready then, Karategin.
I know someone else
who needs a tax collector.
Let us handle the other
collections, Qadi Fazil.
As you command.
The true owners of
Egypt are at this table.
Dirgam, Shaver, and all the viziers of
Egypt knew this truth and ruled accordingly.
But, the new Vizier Salahuddin,
unfortunately, seems unaware of this.
What about the taxes he has
Imposed? It's unacceptable.
He thinks he cannot
collect money from the rich.
He wants to increase his income.
He might even take our wealth
under the guise of serving the people.
Vizier Salahuddin will surely learn
that things work differently in Egypt.
What will you teach me??
I attribute your silence to
your tiredness, my Countess.
But do not worry, we are
very close to Kerek Castle.
She is with that
demon Chatillon.
Isn't that better, my Melik?
We will face our Sultan with the Countess
in one hand and Chatillon in the other.
Attack valiants!
Attack!
Take positions!
Protect the Countess!
Countess!
Protect the countess!
So, tell me, what
will you teach me?
Vizier Salahuddin.
Since you are new in your
position, you do not know us.
Do not worry.
I am aware of the things you
do under the guise of trade.
We are merchants who trade
according to justice and Islamic law.
Do not mention justice and
Islamic law with your dirty tongue.
When has trading honestly and earning
accordingly ever been a crime, Vizier Salahuddin?
Trade is not a crime.
The real issue is violating
the rights of the poor.
Will you claim the rights of the
poor by k*lling our guards in the fields?
From now on, everyone in
Egypt will live in a just order.
They will get what they deserve...
Their life, blood, and property...
...will be superior
and precious.
And one more thing.
From now on...
...you will pay your taxes...
...without missing
a single gold coin.
Vizier Salahuddin.
You are not in Damascus,
you are in Egypt.
The customs and
trade here are different.
The justice of Islam is
the same in Damascus...
...and in Egypt.
If you don't do as I say...
...let alone trading in Egypt...
...I will not even let
you breathe here.
Many viziers like you have
come and gone from here.
Vizier Salahuddin, we
have always been here.
We will continue to be here.
Let it be my advice to you.
For those who can take a lesson, the heads of the
viziers placed at the entrance of Cairo say a lot.
They are there for you to
look, see and take a lesson.
We are the ones who took those
heads and placed them on the city walls.
I am Vizier Salahuddin.
If it's about protecting
the banner of Islam...
...I will take each
of your heads...
...and place them
on those walls.
Baybora!
Countess will not be hurt!
I promised Lord Guy...
...but you are forcing
me to break that promise.
Red hyena!
Supporting units are coming
from the Castle of Kerek. Hold on!
Take cover!
-Let go!
-What are you doing, my Melik?
I promised the
Sultan! Can't you see?
Arrows are raining down!
We are retreating!
My Countess...
Are you alright? -I am. I am.
No one can hurt
you when I am here.
They freed me with
their own hands.
Why would they want
to take me back now?
So Sultan Nureddin couldn't
make his new vizier listen.
How? I don't understand.
Did Salahuddin release me even
though Sultan Nureddin didn't want him to?
Apparently so.
Henok.
Entrust the Countess
to the soldiers of Kerek.
And make sure she
reaches the castle. Come on.
Because I am going to Ibelin.
Why?
His Majesty made his decision.
After the ceremony, I will
become the Count of Ibelin.
So, in fact, Countess, you
are looking at a count right now.
I was curious about Leyla and
you, Semse. Do you need anything?
We don't need anything,
Qadi Fazil. We are alright.
Right, Leyla?
You keep sewing. I'll be back.
Alright Semse sister.
You're still angry at
Salahuddin. I know.
I wish...
...he could have done something.
He could have shut his eyes
to that woman's punishment.
This way, Gulcehre's
k*ller was saved.
No matter what he does,
I will never be relieved.
What Chatillion did never
leaves my mind, Qadi Fazil.
Neither Leyla nor I are safe.
Let's take you to the palace.
And For Leyla...
Alright.
Is there anything
I can do for you?
Arrange a sword
master for me, Qadi Fazil.
After all that has happened, I understand
that I need to learn to protect myself.
I will send someone to you.
When I look at your faces, I
can see your anger toward me.
You are right.
You think I abandoned you and
Ibelin in your most difficult time.
That's exactly what
we think, Lord Balian.
Your brother Hugh, may
God accept him in heaven...
After he was gone,
we were miserable.
I am aware of everything.
That's why I'm here before you.
After everything is over?
Ibelin has already been
given to that demon Chatillion.
It is true that King Amalric
gave Ibelin to Chatillion.
But I do not
recognize this decision.
They are strong.
They are greater
in number than us.
But Ibelin is ours.
Yours, all of ours.
I turned my back on
these lands and you once.
This time, I will not.
If Chatillion wants to sit on that throne,
he will first have to step over my dead body.
Sir...
On this path, I and the
soldiers loyal to your brother..
We are with you.
Chatillion will have to step
over more bodies than he thinks.
Has Karategin set out?
He has, my Vizier.
I just wonder...
...If Karategin's
unit will be enough.
And if aid is needed?
-It won't be.
Inform me If there's any news.
As you order, my Vizier.
Your Majesty.
We are ready to go to Ibelin.
Good. Let's go then.
-Can I talk about a matter before
we set out, my King? -What is it?
The discomfort among the people of Ibelin.
-I'm listening.
From what I've heard, the people
are unhappy with Chatillion's County.
It's better than
being leaderless.
Of course, our King knows best. My only concern
is the possibility of internal conflict in Ibelin.
So the situation
is that serious.
Unfortunately, my King.
If someone who will make people
uncomfortable comes to power...
...It could also
damage your power.
My decision is final,
William.
Ibelin belongs to Chatillion.
It is too late for Balian now.
The west side is the
weakest spot of the castle.
The walls are lower and the
communication of the other parts is weaker.
If our plans works and we go
beyond the walls in the west,
...the secret passage will
lead us right into the palace.
But there is an important point.
We should go inside
as silent as possible.
We have to infiltrate before
the other soldiers notice.
Don't worry, my Count.
Everything will go as planned.
How does It look? Good?
How is Countess doing?
Well... I can say the castle of
Kerek welcomed her countess.
I hope you're
keeping your promise.
I kept my promise but a few Zengi
dogs confronted me on the way, of course.
Not a big deal.
They wanted to take Countess Mila
but they didn't know she was with me.
Nureddin Zengi
wanted to take Mila...
That means he set his eyes on
Kerek after the castle of Harim.
Commander Guy, Mila
is in safe hands now.
SO how...
...let me enjoy the throne!
You honored me by
supporting me. But today...
...you will fight neither for me
nor for my brother's heritage.
What you will fight for
today is your own city Ibelin.
My Lord, the convoy
of King is almost here.
Here we go then.
Let's go take what is ours
before the King arrives.
Now it's time to fight.
God, Christ, Messiah.
For the sake of the sacred
blood shed in Calcutta,
...bless your servant
Renaud de Chatillon.
His reign shall be a loyal
guidance that arouses in you.
Amen!
-Watch out!
-We're under attack!
Stop!
-You".
-Yes.
-But why?
-Never mind.
If you want the throne,
hurry up. Come on.
Send my regards to Salahuddin.
Come on, come on.
Albiz.
Mighty Caliph is available for
the meeting that you demanded.
InshaAllah, I return
with a good solution.
What's your
Intention, my Vizier?
The nobles have started paying
the taxes as they were ordered.
But we need more resources to find a
permanent solution for Egypt's problems.
Mighty Vizier,
...I need to tell you...
...about another
Important matter.
You respectable priest...
You keep doing this.
But I don't like washing up
much. So keep it short, please.
Don't you think this
is too hasty, Chatillon?
For Ibelin!
Leon!
While you're so willing to die, you'll
get what you deserve this time, Balian.
The castle is under attack!
-Hurry up!
-Protect the castle!
-Come on!
-Faster!
What's going on here?
I'm afraid that Balian is here to take
what belongs to him, your majesty.
Balian...
Follow me.
Stop this disgrace now!
Put your swords down.
Didn't you hear the king?
Drop your swords
Immediately and kneel!
How dare you k*ll
your coreligionists?
Is this what your
faith commands?
Balian betrayed your
orders, your majesty.
He became a part of a huge
treason by attacking Ibelin.
This is not treason.
But an honorable struggle
to take what is mine.
And I'm ready to pay the price.
I'm here for the training.
They say you want
to swing a sword.
And among all people in Egypt, you
wanted to do this job, Mighty Vizier?
Every job matters
to me, Semse Hatun.
You must have more
important jobs. Thank you.
You aren't so bad.
Rule number one.
You should know who
you are fighting against.
I know both my
friends and enemies.
Like I know who loves
me and who doesn't.
Rule number two.
Ambition blinds a sword.
You can't distinguish
your friend then.
The enemy must
be punished instantly!
Mila's release was
the judge's decision.
I told you this.
Was stopping the exhibition
punishment his decision too?
Never kick the
one on the ground.
Are you sure you
didn't train before?
Your sword seems sharper.
What sharpens my sword...
...is the K*llers wandering
around this city.
Balian.
I had given you one last chance.
I spared your life in
return for your departure.
But you chose to stay...
...and prepared your
own death yourself.
What's going on?
What is that sound?
Your majesty, there is a
great crowd in the yard.
Ibelin is ours!
We don't want Chatillon!
Ibelin is ours!
Chatillon can't have
the throne before we die!
Ibelin is ours!
Chatillon will be
punished sooner or later.
What about Mila?
Why are you here?
To make another cut in
the wound that you opened?
I don't intend to make wounds...
...but heal them.
Rule number three.
Only the sword taken out in
the right time will hit the target.
Everybody will get
what they deserve.
-This is the place where I first saw you.
-Where I first heard your voice.
You were a prisoner
then but a vizier today.
You, who I saved
with my voice that day,
...released a woman who
attempted to k*ll you, Salahuddin.
Maybe it's you who
wants to k*ll me, Semse.
My Vizier, Karategin is back with
his troops. Mission accomplished.
We've trained enough today.
Your majesty, if you
make a decision otherwise,
...we will have to
slaughter people of Ibelin.
And this will make things
more complicated for us.
Your majesty.
Let me break the
crowd in the yard.
With great pleasure,
your majesty.
You can enjoy the throne
you want so much, Balian.
Because you won't
have much time to do that.
Mighty Caliph.
It seems you didn't think elaborately how
a great state like Fatimis ended up here.
Your people are living in hard conditions
but it was you who first left them.
The fight between
the viziers caused this.
A Caliph should be benevolent.
But you seem to care
about your wealth only.
Just spill the beans,
Vizier Salahuddin.
What do you want from
me? What's your problem?
Your majesty.
I can understand that...
...you let Balian rule Ibelin temporarily
to prevent an internal disturbance.
Lord Guy, it was a
mistake to listen to you.
But Balian is a living dead now.
I don't doubt
that, your majesty.
But there is a problem that
we should solve urgently.
What is it?
Chatillon. He's got angry as the chance of
being the count of Ibelin got stolen from him.
It's hard to predict what
a angry Chatillon can do.
His leash is in your
hands. Stop him.
Remember that Chatillon
has many followers in the army.
Are you saying you
can't deal with him?
On the contrary, I'm offering
you making use of Chatillon's fury.
How?
I want some of your
legendary fortune from you.
I Inherited the
fortune from my family.
And so far, nobody
has dared to touch it.
It means they didn't dare...
...to remind you that you
should sacrifice for your people,
...Mighty Vizier.
I made the biggest sacrifice...
...by accepting an Emir who is subject to
Abbasid Caliph as the vizier in the Fatimi State.
As you know, there
isn't still a count in Kerek.
On her way back from Cairo, Countess
Mila got attacked by Melik Mevdud.
That means Nureddin
Zengi's new target is Kerek.
And considering the pilgrimage
and trade routes going through Kerek,
...I think it will be useful for us to
use a power like Chatillon in Kerek.
The money will be for
people's wealth completely.
The new hodjas of
Al-Azhar issued the fatwa.
This is the only way of
providing wealth for people.
You don't need to worry. From a
pocket of yours to another pocket of yours.
What if I don't accept?
The khutbah will be recited in the name of
Abbasid Caliph in all the masjids in Egypt.
And all the imams in Egypt
will pray for Abbasid Caliph.
And they will invite Muslims to
worship with his orders and guidance.
You have two days to carry
your fortune to the palace.
You crossed the
line, Salahuddin.
You created a
trouble for yourself.
Do you think I
haven't thought of this?
But convincing
Countess Mila will be hard.
I don't think she will dare
to go against your orders.
Has your investigation about Balian's
attack on Ibelin come to a conclusion?
What you will hear about that...
...will make you even angrier.
What is it?
During the attack
on our walls...
...a wounded soldier heard that
Balian received help from Salahuddin.
-What exactly did you hear?
-As I said...
Count Balian asked his men to
thank Salahuddin when they left.
So his friendship with Salahuddin
is stronger than we thought.
Do you think Sultan
Nureddin knows about this?
Sure he does.
Salahuddin wouldn't even breathe
without his Sultan's knowledge.
But he will regret what he did.
If he dared to interfere in our internal
matters, the price must be heavy.
-Very heavy.
-Actually...
...we have a good opportunity...
...to respond, Your Majesty.
How?
Sultan Nureddin...
...had his newborn Melik...
...moved from Mosul
to Aleppo for safety.
Now we've learned that they
will take him somewhere else.
Sultan Nureddin...
It's time to teach you a
lesson you won't forget.
You showed great foresight...
...IN this move regarding
Ibelin, Vizier Hadhrat.
There are some
matters, Qadi Fazil.
Once you solve that matter,
you get rid of many else.
Undoubtedly,
this is one of them.
Our Sultan is aware that we intervened
in our enemy's internal affairs...
Right?
While our Sultan was
accusing me about Mila,
I couldn't have explained the
necessity of such a delicate move to him.
Once Balian ascends to the throne
and we succeed in our Intentions..
...then I will give him
a detailed explanation.
Then...
...how was your sword
training, my Vizier?
She still questions me.
I think by teaching her how to use a
sword, we made a big mistake, Qadi Fazil.
We shouldn't have lost Mila,
Mevdud. We shouldn't have.
Since they've also added that
dastard Chatillon to their ranks...
...it means Amalrik has decided
to fortify Kerek against us.
The caravan raid
is a sign of this.
My Sultan, we have news
from the Ayyars in Al-Quds.
The old Count of Ibelin, Hugh's
brother Balian has taken the throne.
That's good.
We need brave enemies as well.
Besides, he did this with
the help of Vizier Salahuddin.
How?
Why didn't he
inform us about this?
He must have
had to act urgently.
Still, where is the Salahuddin
who thinks about every step...
...and consults
me for my opinion?
What he did...
...is a direct intervention in Al-Quds'
internal affairs. -That's true.
They might retaliate.
Ah Salahuddin ah!
Imad!
Order me, my Sultan.
Send news to Salahuddin. He
will come to Damascus immediately!
As you order, my Sultan.
My Emir...
Sultan Nureddin
has entrusted you...
...with his most precious
treasure, his only child, his Melik.
What greater honor
could there be?
Of course, he would
entrust his son to his relative.
However, Sultan Nureddin sees
Salahuddin as a relative as well.
One day, he will understand
that this is not true.
Attack!
Archers! sh**t!
Protect the Melik at all costs.
Protect the Melik.
Protect the cart!
Hurry!
Hurry! Faster!
Faster! Hurry!
Hurry!
Come on! Don't stop!
Attack! Now!
Don't let any of them survive!
King Amalrik left Ibelin to me for now,
since he did not want to provoke people.
But we don't know
what they will do.
That's why we must
double the precautions.
Don't worry, my Count.
I am personally
handling the measures.
As for Amalrik...
Your determination
left him no other choice.
We are facing King Amalrik
and Commander Guy.
We can't know what they will do.
-My Lord...
You have a visitor. The
Countess of Kerek, Mila.
If you allow me, my Count.
Balian.
You need to take
me to Salahuddin.
Right now. -Why? What happened??
Chatillion.
You will marry Chatillion, Mila.
How? My King, how
could that happen?
That's not a
choice. It's an order.
Muslims' eyes are on Kerek.
We have no other choice.
-I would never accept..
-Mila!
Mila.
Mila.
It is better for us to be torn apart
than for our kingdom to be torn apart.
Right?
Death...
...OF marrying
Chatillion, Countess?
Damn it!
They could not give Ibelin to him, now
they're trying to give Kerek to that devil.
We don't have time, Balian.
Check the wounded ones!
My Emir.
This was found on
one of their clothes.
Sultan Nureddin.
Like wheat, a
child is also a seed.
Protect the seed and
withdraw your hand from Ibelin.
Ibelin?
Salahuddin...
Let's see what Sultan
Nureddin will say to this.
Get ready,
we are leaving!
Hurry, hurry!
What happened Qadi Fazil?
Sultan Nureddin sent
this, Vizier Hadhrat.
As soon as this letter
touches your hand...
...get on your horse, use your wings and
come to my presence, Emir Salahuddin.
Apparently, the time has
come to explain what happened.
Let's seek refuge in
Allah from his anger.
You must set off
as soon as possible.
We received news from
Balian, Vizier Hadhrat.
He is near Cairo.
-He wants to meet with you to discuss an
Important issue. -is there a problem?
We must be cautious.
How do we know there's no trap?
If you allow me...
His messenger sent this.
Count Balian wanted this to be given to
you so that you wouldn't have any doubts.
I did not expect Mila
to accept it so quickly.
It has nothing to do with you.
Mila's life depended on
her marriage with you.
That's all.
Mila.
Mila.
Are we sure that the note
reached Salahuddin, Marcus?
Of course, my Count.
Don't worry.
Count Balian.
Thanks to you, I am now the
Count of Ibelin, Salahuddin.
Can I learn the reason for
such a secret and urgent call?
I was not the one
who called you here.
Mila.
With Amalrik's order, Countess
Mila will marry Chatillion.
Without your consent?
I think my thoughts about
this marriage are predictable.
Chatillion and Guy will be in the wedding
caravan which will leave Jerusalem tomorrow.
It won't be good for you
If Chatillion takes Kerek.
If you attack the
caravan on the road...
How will I know
this is not a game?
How can I trust you?
You are the one who set up a
game for us in the middle of Cairo.
Things have changed now.
Nothing has changed. The
enemy is the same enemy.
You are wrong, Vizier Hadhrat.
Our enemy is common. Chatillion.
Also...
...I Will never forget how you
pulled me out of that crowd...
...eager to insult
a woman in Cairo.
By giving you this news, at least I
will have paid my debt even If for little.
There is no trap, Salahuddin.
Trust me.
Still no sound.
There isn't even a
shadow on the horizon.
He will come for sure, my
Sultan. He must be on the way.
My Sultan, Emir Yaruki is here.
He wants to see you
urgently. He doesn't seem well.
-Are the preparations done, Atsiz?
-Yes, Mighty Vizier.
- I don't feel good about this.
-I have to, Qadi Fazil.
You know better than I do what
Chatillon's settlement in Kerek means.
Of course.
But you didn't accept Sultan
Nureddin's invitation and...
I will go.
I will go to Damascus
with Chatillon's head.
We'll go this way!
Isn't this the usual way?
Yes, it is. This is my beautiful
Countess Mila's request.
Well... It's a tradition
of Kerek, I guess.
If the groom goes through this
way and reaches the castle of Kerek,
...he will prove how
much he desires the bride.
Look at Chatillon who
is famous for brutality!
-This way!
-Come on, Lord Guy! Come with me.
How could they
know about it, Yaruki?
Who but you and your aides
could know what you were carrying?
What if you couldn't get rid of
them? What if our Melik got k*lled?
My Sultan, don't doubt I
will also investigate that.
If Salahuddin hadn't pried into the domestic
affairs of the Kingdom of Al-quds...
...to support the man
called Balian in Ibelin...
Listen to me carefully, Yaruki.
Damn these traditions!
We would have
reached Kerek by now!
Stop complaining, Chatillon.
You're on the last way
guiding you to be the count!
Right?
Yes!
I march to the Castle of Kerek!
To be the count of Pretty Mila!
Now let's gallop! Gallop!
Let the world see
Chatillon arriving!
I march to the Castle of Kerek!
To be the count of Pretty Mila!
Now let's gallop! Gallop!
Let the world see
Chatillon arriving!
Oh Mila...
I can see how
hard this is for you.
I'm sorry.
The wedding convoy is
approaching to Kerek, Countess.
Alright. You may leave.
Faster, Salahuddin. Faster.
I march to the Castle of Kerek!
To be the count of Pretty Mila!
Now let's gallop! Gallop!
Let the world see
Chatillon arriving!
I will make the wedding convoy
come through a steep way.
If you ambush in the narrow
pass leading to the castle,
...you'll save both me and
the pilgrimage and trade route.
This is the way Mila mentioned.
We'll go through here and take
position in the narrowest spot.
Let's go.
Come on, Salahuddin.
Please arrive in time.
Those who are coming...
Did they set us up, my Vizier?
That's Yaruki and his soldiers.
What are you doing here, Yaruki?
It seems this is my lucky day.
I don't have to ride
to Cairo to take you.
I called Salahuddin over
and but he didn't come.
Now go find him wherever
he is and bring him here.
This trouble won't end
before we meet face to face.
As you order, my Sultan.
What are you
talking about, Yaruki?
Sultan Nureddin's strict orders.
I will take you to
him, to Damascus.
For what reason?
Sultan will tell you that.
-Don't raise any difficulties.
-Yaruki, I have no time to lose.
I will finish my job and then
appear before our Sultan.
You can't do things
oh your own now,
...Emir Salahuddin.
You have to step on me
and my Yilpaguts to go further!
Try me if you have courage!
