[bunniefuu]

Ya Fattah!
[The opener]

Ya Fattah! Ya Fattah!

Mehmed.

What are those noises?

Guards!

Guards!

What is happening? Guards!

Can't you hear me!

Guards!

Guards!

Where are you?

Platon!

Notaras! Francesco,
where are you!

Platon, where are you!

What are those noises?

It is the end of the
road, Konstantinos.

Are you looking for this?

Come and get it.

As sitting on this throne..

.Without fighting and winning..

...won't suit me..

...dying without a
fight wouldn't suit you.

Come on, emperor.

Come on.

I will give you the
chance to die with honor.

What if I k*ll you, Mehmed?

Then, you are free.

Don't k*ll me!

I told you, Konstantinos.

Hand over the city, so
that no one may get hurt.

However, you did not listen.
-How could I have known!

How could I have
known this would happen!

No!

No! That throne is mine!

That throne is mine!

That throne is mine!

Mine!

Thank the lord.

Guards!

Guards!

Yes, your excellency.

Find Platon.

Tell everyone to
come to the bridge..

...over at theodosius
gate, at once.

With Allah's permission,
other ships will be..

...finished tomorrow, my Sultan.

Tonight..

...the ships will sail at Halic..

...before dawn..

...and start attacking the
walls of Constantinople.

My Sultan.

When sun rises,
most of our soldiers..

...will be at the walls..

...that which will hinder
the works, that is why-

send my command to
Velukat-i Erbay and Solak.

May they come at once.

Wouldn't it be more suitable..

...if we waited the
night for it, my Sultan?

Victory..

...only favors those
who are quick..

...and those who are late become
lost among the pages of history.

If we become late, we
do not only lose time..

...we lost Constantinople.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on my lions!

Prepare the
cannonballs, come on!

We will not stop, come on!

Everyone, go behind the
walls! Everyone! Hurry!

Hurry! Everyone!

Do not waste time! Come on!

This way!

My Pasha. -Dogan Agha.

We made so much effort
to lower the galleys...

...to the golden horn, Pasha.

So you are saying...

-...if Shahi opens a breach, what will we do, right?
-Yes.

Our Sultan gave a strict order.

At dawn...

...the conquest will happen, Dogan Agha.
-Inshaallah.

Each of us has taken a position.

Now, whoever is destined
to enter Constantinople first...

...will enter the city.

When will this Shahi be fired?

Dogan Agha... you go and
perform ablution for the noon prayer.

Who knows, by the afternoon,
we might be in Constantinople.

Inshaallah.

Hurry! Everyone inside! Everyone!

Take care of the injured ones!

No one will stay
in the inner walls!

Everyone behind the
retaining walls! Come on!

Close the gates!

Haven't you found a solution for the
mortar cannonballs yet, Francesco?

-I have a plan. But..
-But what?

After the volunteers withdrew, our
number of soldiers decreased significantly.

Stop making excuses
and tell me your solution.

Here is the solution.

Bismillah.

Abdurrahman!

Abdurrahman!

You crazy man.. Where are you?

Who knows where he went?

My Bey!

You heard doctor Efendi...

Why do you tire yourself?

Lie down and sleep. Lie
down and sleep. Until when?

I opened my eyes, and
Abdurrahman was not around.

Give me a shoulder.
I will go outside.

He must have gone to relieve himself,
my Bey. Don't, come here and lie down.

Tell me whatever you need.

Don't talk too me as if I am a
child. I told you to help me get up.

Doctor Efendi said if the
pus flows, it will cause illness.

If it turns into an illness, you won't recover, my Bey.
Last time, you forced yourself and joined the attack.

Look at your condition now. Don't do
this, this wound is not like the others.

Do you not fear death?

Who doesn't fear death, my lion?

Of course, I fear death.
But do you know what I fear?

I fear dying...

...like an old, useless horse...

...being defeated by my heart...

...collapsing from
illness or an accident.

But dying for my
faith, my state...

...the things I believe...

I never fear that.

I am fighting with my mind
Dundar. Understand me.

If I don't fall...

...as a martyr, fighting
on the b*ttlefield...

...i will not die in peace.

Eyvallah my Bey.

I said that for you, but
I couldn't think like you.

My bevy.

Leave all this and
tell me why you came.

When I saw you like
this, I lost my mind.

I almost forgot what
I was going to say.

Guards sent word.

The Byzantine emperor's
brother and wife are here.

-They want to enter the quarters.
-Demetrius?

I can't say his name
properly, but yes, my Bey.

Let them in.

Inform our Sultan immediately.
-Eyvallah, my Bey.

Come.

While the mortars are fired, our soldiers
will wait behind the retaining walls.

So that when a breach is opened,
they can enter more easily, Francesco?

No.

So that our already small number
of soldiers doesn't decrease further.

If you allow me,
I will tell you.

When the mortar attack stops, we
will know that Mehmed will attack.

We will quickly move our soldiers
to the inner walls to meet Mehmed.

This way, we will face them at
the same place without losses.

But...

...we need more soldiers.

We can move some of the soldiers
from the watchtowers to the inner walls.

That way, we will have more
soldiers to fight. What do you say?

You say you know Mehmed, but
you underestimate his intelligence.

Why wouldn't a genius who makes precise strikes
between the walls, hit the retaining walls?

His conscience will not
let his mind make a move.

His mercy for the
people will prevent this.

So, our fate is left to the
mercy of our enemy? Is that it?

-We will no longer fight for you.
-Fools!

Do you think the Turks will
have mercy on you if this city falls?

Don't worry, we will be in a
better situation than we are now.

Take your swords and
return to your positions.

We don't care about
your orders now!

This is all because
of that old Genadius.

Watch your words!

Since we are here, the
things they say about you...

Will you ask if I am a traitor working
for Mehmed and betraying Rome?

I didn't mean that, but...

It is true that I serve Mehmed.

But I never betrayed Rome.

-Now you will ask, "how is that possible?".
That...

your rebellion is not against Rome,
but against Konstantinos, a vile m*rder*r.

Then what are you curious about?

When the Turks enter the city,
they will destroy Hagia Sophia.

They will plunder all our
wealth and k*ll everyone.

Despite that..
-You don't know Mehmed.

-If he wanted, he could have done all those things.
-How?

Not a single mortar cannonball has hit the
city despite all the attacks. Do you know why?

And why hasn't Constantinople
struggled with water shortages until now?

If he wanted, he could have
cut off the water channels.

He could have even poisoned
the water. But he didn't.

Because his goal is not to
destroy Rome or punish its people.

But your brother Konstantinos...

He is a sick madman
obsessed with power.

The blood of so many
innocents on his hands...

...is no thing but a
curse upon Rome.

Attention!

The ruler of the world,
Sultan Mehmed Khan Hadhrat!



Bring me the head
of Gennadios, Platon.

Your majesty, this will not to anything
but to just cause more chaos.

What more can happen!

How can he pull
the church guards..

...out of their posts!
What impudence!

Don't we endure this
trouble so that they may live?

You are correct, your majesty.

However, the death of your
brother is not something..

...that can be easily swallowed by the church.
-My brother is a traitor!

Demetrius is a traitor!

And traitors are k*lled!

Which part they do
not understand, Platon?

The church does not
believe he is a traitor.

They see this as a
fight for the throne.

-Besides- -besides what?

Do I have to explain
every decision I make..

...to everyone in detail, Platon?

Look, Platon. I did
not take this dark road.

I was pushed into it.

If Gennadios went
to this road as well..

...if he wants to fight with me..

...then he will die as well.

This..

...will be a start of deaths
that will not have an end.

Then..

...convince Gennadios!

Aren't you the grand
Duke of this city?

If you can't stop the
revolt he has started..

...Francesco will stop
it with his swords.

I will do my best,
your excellency.

Gennadios.

Gennadios.

What about Notaras?

-Why did he help you?
-If my father..

...hadn't lost his hope
about Constantinople..

...he would have..

...k*lled both Demetrius
and me himself.

The trouble you went through..

...was tough.

I thank you for all the
heroic deeds you did.

However..

...from this point on..

...no one should
know you are alive.

Even though
Notaras is my enemy..

...he must not pay the good
deed he did with his life.

That is why..

...i will Grant you
a house in Edirne.

Of course, all of
your spending..

...will be provided by
my personal treasure.

Now, get some rest.

You can get on the road after.

Thank you for letting Anna..

...have a peaceful
life in Edirne.

However, I want to stay by
your side until the end of this w*r.

Eyvallah Demetrius.

However, as I've said..

...no one should
know you are alive.

I do not need of your
services here anymore.

However..

...when east Rome
meets with its conqueror..

...you may do as you wish.

Safe travels.

Sultan Mehmed.

I know a way for you
to get into the city.

The biggest channel of the
city goes to the basilica cistern.

I will not test the
innocents with thirst.

That is a dark stain to
both Islam and Turks.

You do not need to
shut down the channels.

The channels that go
there are quite wide.

I know the water ways there.

Tens of soldiers can pass
through some of the wide channels.

What about the guards
around the cistern?

Konstantinos must've
taken precautions there.

That is true.

However, I saw it when
they were taking me to prison.

After your Cannon fire..

...most of the guards there..

...were sent to theodosius walls.

The rest are
volunteers of the church.

Those volunteers who thought..

...you were dead must've
put, their swords down, right?

Tell me everything
from the start.

I am listening.

Lift it up.

Lift it up more.

Alright.

That's it.

Now go, tell all the valiants..

...all ships will have
exactly this angle.

As you command, my Pasha.

My Pasha, I didn't
see you coming.

I did not want to distract you.

You see that, right?

What humans can achieve..

...with a little desire and
a little faith in their hearts.

Thank Allah..

...the minds and hearts of
our valiants are with conquest.

They do not want to
fail Allah first then Sultan.

They work like ants.

Mashaallah, mashaallah.

May Allah Grant them strength.

However, my Pasha, aren't
these cannons a little too small?

They may seem so.
However, when they fire..

...they abolish the stones
of infidels, evelallah.

Halic is a narrow
part of the sea.

As our ships may suffer damage..

...from the explosions
of big cannons.

Good.

You thought of everything,
may Allah make you prosper.

My Pasha, our Sultan..

...is calling you
and Bahadir Pasha.

Inshaallah it is not
bad news.

Fire!

-Saruca.
-My Pasha.

Why does these big cannons..

...are not being fired?

It is our Sultan's
command, my Pasha.

We will wear down the
walls with small cannons first.

-Then, it will be Shahi's turn, inshaallah.
-Inshaallah.

We are wishing to open a hole..

...with the shots we are taking..

Until night, if Allah
allows it, my Pasha.

-Inshaallah.
-Ishak.

How are the soldiers who will
charge through the hole first?

Are they alright?

Do not worry.

All of them are filled..

...with the joy of conquest.

-Thank Allah.
-Thank Allah.

-Hadhrat grand vizier.
-Yes?

Our Sultan is waiting for you..

-...and Ishak Pasha at once.
-What is it?

Is anyone else
summoned beside us?

Messengers were sent to Bali Bey
and Kurtcu Dogan as well, my Pasha.

Zaganos Pasha, who
is stationed at Halic..

...and Bahadir
Pasha were invited.

-Is there trouble?
-I do not know.

May Allah Grant
strength to you all.

Come on, ready!

Didn't they receive the
command of the emperor?

Scouts were meant
to stay on the ground.

Send some of the
scouts to the walls at once.

As you command, my Sultan.

Even if you put a hundred
robes on top of you..

...your eyes will give you away.

-He only has fear in his eyes.
-Not only him.

Everyone we think
that are supporting us.

It is very honorable of you to..

...stay here and fight
despite of that, sir.

There are no cowards, Javi.

There are only those who
are tamed into cowardice.

-The art of w*r, by sun Tzu.
-True.

Your ancient
enemies, the Chinese.

They are quite
skilled in this regard.

They have learned from us.

I have tied all my
hope and vengeance..

...to this city, Orhan.

To this city and its people.

About your question..

...the people of this
city believe in fear.

And I am here to
introduce them to courage.

And I will succeed in doing so.

How alike we are, aren't we?

The last hope for both of us..

...is tied to the
survival of this city.

Did you find the k*ller
who m*rder*d Demetrius?

We had him followed.

-And we found the inn he went.
-And?

I've sent father Bernist.

They will have our vengeance.

It is enough to have those
get away with what they do.

We will not stop until we get
our vengeance from everyone.

Do you think about getting
revenge from me too, Gennadios?

Yes, if you stay in
our way in this w*r.

Let us speak alone for a bit.

We also need to hear..

...whatever you will say.

I will not punish you
for your impunity..

...as you've saved
my life before.

However, if you
cross your line again-

leave us alone with
grand Duke Notaras.

How long are you planning
to keep up with this nonsense?

Until Konstantinos,
who declared this w*r..

...upon our church,
gets off of his throne.

While there are enemies outside?

The enemies outside
are more merciful..

...than those who are inside.

And we have the
power to defeat them all.

There is a time for
everything, Gennadios.

Now is not the time.

You were there when
Demetrius was k*lled.

You didn't do anything.

You have no value
in my eye anymore.

Now, if you have any sense,
stay away from our way.

-You will not give up, will you?
-Never.

You know how..

...Jesus resurrected
a dead person.

What if I made the same
miracle? For example..

...resurrected Demetrius?

Will you not hear me still?

What nonsense are you
talking about, Notaras?

I will tell you everything.

Innkeeper, fill it up.

Let this be the last one.
You don't seem okay.

These are paid upfront.

Here.

There he is.

Do you think you can
wander around freely..

...after k*lling Demetrius?

Stop! Stop!

Is it okay to k*ll an
innocent orthodox..

...just because a
catholic wanted it?

-You will pay for it!
-Stop!

The end of Demetrius'
k*ller will be same as yours.

Stop, Demetrius did
not die! It was a scheme!

Do you think you can
escape death with these lies?

Believe me, we planned
it all with Notaras!

It was all a scheme!

Notaras, who sold out
the church will pay too!

Return to your church..

...and I will spare your lives!

Get out!

Now.

You will tell me what
you did with Notaras.

It..

...was all a lie.

When you pull out the dagger,
the flowing blood will k*ll you.

And I will watch you die
while sipping on my drink.

If you tell me the truth, I
will pull out the dagger again.

However, I will
stop the bleeding.

Your choice.

Let's say what
you said was true.

Why did you do all this?

Konstantinos is going mad.

If I have to k*ll him..

...someone else will
have to sit on that throne.

What do you want from me now?

I want you to not forget the greatest
defender of this city being Notaras.

I want you to remember
that in this city..

...only those who I want may
live and those I want may die.

If you stop the revolt, latins
will come at us more fiercely.

I will never allow that.

However..

...if you do not
stop the revolt..

...Konstantinos will k*ll you..

...and the others.

Even I cannot prevent that.

If that happens..

...Hagia Sophia will stay..

...as a catholic church forever.

Let it be this way, then.
I will stop the revolt.

Is the reason why
you let Demetrius live..

...because he is wed
to your daughter?

Do you want to have a half
Notaras sit on the throne?

For now..

...let us succeed in
keeping Rome alive.

We will decide who will get
on the throne together later.

Make some way. I want to get in.

Make some way. I
will get to the council.

Council will start,
Satilmis Agha.

Hadhrat Sultan is also coming.
Don't show your face around here.

Look at these words.

So I am not worthy, you say?

Where I'm from, they let the
biggest ox plough the fields.

Why would I come here
if Sultan didn't call me?

Do you think I have no
business? Now, make some way.

Make way!

Satilmis.

Satilmis.

What are you doing here?

Did you leave
your duty position?

My Pasha, our Sultan called me.

-I came here running.
-Satilmis.

You won't cause a problem
here, right? What did you do?

You messed up this place
with your muddy shoes.

What can I do, Pasha?
The Sultan called me here.

-Attention!
-Move. Move.

Sultan-Ul Guzat ell-mujahideen, ruler of the
world, Sultan-Ul Salahuddin, Mehmed Khan Hadhrat.

In the name of Allah, the most gracious,
the most merciful, I open my council.

All praise belongs to Allah.

-Aameen. -Aameen.
-Aameen.

My viziers, my lalas...

...my victorious
soldiers, veterans.

With the honor and wisdom
given to us by our almighty Allah...

...and the strength that Islam has placed
in our hearts we have placed the seal of the...

...Islam on Likya and Dimitrya, then Stodio castle
and finally the prince islands, alhamdulillah.

-Alhamdulillah.
-Alhamdulillah.

We have cleared the obstacles before us and prevented
the possible aid of other infidels to Byzantium.

Now, there is no barrier left between
us and the city of Constantinople.

Now...

...it is time for the final
strike over the golden horn.

Zaganos Pasha.

What is the situation of the galleys I
ordered for the golden horn operation?

With the determination and will of our Bahadir Pasha
and the efforts of the soldiers of Muhammad [pbuh],
dozens of galleys have been completed, inshaallah.

Only the placement of appropriate cannons on the
decks and the raising of sails on the masts remain.

With Allah's permission, when
we move our fleet at night...

...we will have defeated infidels.
-Excellent. Thanks to Allah.

But, a single strike on the
golden horn may not be enough.

What about the theodosius walls?
What about the situation there?

As you ordered, other
walls and infidel towers...

...are being attacked at intervals,
both with the mortars you invented...

...and the smaller cannons shaped by
the efforts of Muslim engineers, my Sultan.

Again, as you ordered, we will launch a general
attack with the firing of the Shahi Cannon.

Of course, for this, we are waiting for
the sunset, my Hunkar. -Excellent.

Satilmis Agha will
open the gates for us.

And he will do that
with his muddy boots.

Move. Move.

Hurry, come on!

Run, run!

May Jesus Christ bless you.

The number of soldiers in
the watchtowers worries me.

If there is an infiltration into the city, not only will
they not notice, but they won't even be able to send a word.

Genadius' influence over the
people is greater than we thought.

I don't know if he is working for Mehmed,
but his moves are definitely useful for him.

Mehmed has the talent to
benefit from every situation.

As for us...

The Ottomans will carry
out a general attack.

We don't need
watchmen to see that.

For now, having guards in
just a few towers is enough.

We do not need soldiers
as guards in the towers...

...we need them as
warriors on the walls.

Javi...

...place the
soldiers accordingly.

As you command, sir.



So I am saying that, due to
the Greek people's rebellion..

...the number of guards placed at Byzantium's towers
and other city gates has significantly decreased.

They have moved most of their soldiers to the front
of the walls because they are scared of our attack.

Among the soldiers Konstantinos
has placed on the walls for resistance...

...there are also those responsible for
the security around the water cisterns.

This means the places around the water
channels are suitable for an infiltration move.

My Hunkar, this could
be a game of Demetrius.

I don't know if we
should trust him...

I trust Demetrius, Lala.

Even if he puts himself in danger, he wouldn't put
his wife at risk, the daughter of Megaduke Notaras.

What is your plan, Satilmis?

Satilmis Agha.

I am talking to you.

My Sultan, you are saying that we can pass through
the cisterns and reach the infidels' square.

And I must say, these
cisterns lead to tunnels.

The tunnels are
filled with water.

Some water reaches a man's waist, some to
his chest, and some even above our heads.

Get to the point.

For the waters that go
above our heads, my Sultan...

How will we cross such a
distance while holding our breath?

We will drown there, my Sultan.

Then listen to me carefully.

You will widen the water channels
so the water flow slows down.

The soldiers passing through there should have
reeds in their mouths. Those will help them.

It should take you to
the basilica cistern.

The nearest gate
to that place is...

...the Kalagros gate.

If Zaganos Pasha and I can lower the galleys into
the golden horn and fire the first cannonball...

-Inshaallah.
-Inshaallah.

With Allah's
permission, my Sultan.

Inshaallah.

Ishak Pasha will carry out a general attack with the firing
of the Shahi Cannon, which is the second phase of our plan.

After that, when Satilmis
Agha opens the Kalagros gate...

Under the command of our Halil Pasha, the brave valiants
of Bali Bey and Kurtcu Agha will raid that place.

This is the third
phase of our plan.

Just as we have besieged Constantinople
from the sea, from the air with mortars...

...and face-to-face in front of the walls,
we will also surround it from underground.

So I am saying that...

...either I will take
Constantinople...

...or Constantinople
will take me.

The future of this move depends
on your success, Satilmis Agha.

If you succeed, you can
ask for whatever you want.

Can I really ask for
whatever we want, my Sultan?

Once you are granted my glorious
favor... what do you have in mind?

What will you ask for? Tell me.

I had a house built in my
village, in kastamonu, my Sultan.

But glorious favor is
not like service pay.

It is abundant. It is more.

Then it can be a
two-story house, my Sultan.

Satilmis...

Why did Genadius gather us here?

-Did he say anything?
-He did not.

But what he will
say is very clear.

He will say that we should not
bow to the emperor's tyranny...

...and that we must
continue our uprising.

Here he is.

You know the meaning of
this handkerchief, don't you?

A miracle of lord
Jesus. A relic.

Just like this city is a
relic from our mother Mary.

I thought you came here to make
the k*ller emperor pay for his actions...

...and to take
Demetrius" revenge, but...

If the Turks enter the city, Demetrius'
revenge will be left unfinished.

After we send the Turks away from
our city, we will handle this issue.

But not now.

Then when?

When Mary's city belongs
to her children, Maria.

Now tell me, would lord Jesus
want us to surrender our city?

Or to open the
gates to the Turks?

I don't ask you to believe in the
emperor, the Megaduke, or the senators.

I only want you to believe in
me and not leave me alone.

What about the people?

How will we convince them??

By speaking the
language of love, Maria.

Now return to your duty and
explain the situation to the people.

And convince them
to fight for their faith.

Children, where is your mother?

She went to the neighbor.
She will come soon.

Why does she
refuse the allowance?

She may not care about herself, but
does she not care about her children??

Either she has lost her
mind, or she is irresponsible.

We will talk and see.

If she does not come to her senses, we will
take the children under the state's protection.

You said well,
Bahar. You said well.

Here, eat some
candy. It is very sweet.

Welcome. What
are you doing here?

We are the Sultan's harem.

We learned about your situation. We were
curious why you did not accept the allowance.

My Sultan, we are alive, our state is
powerful, and we get our daily bread.

But if you insist that I
must take my share...

...then give it to our
soldiers in the siege.

I will be pleased then.

The soldiers in the siege
have food and water.

Think about your
children first, woman.

My children will be fed anyway.

But if our soldiers in the siege starve so that my children
can eat, how will I answer for this on the last judgment?

What do you mean?

This army, this state, sheds
blood in front of the walls.

Some are hungry,
some are thirsty.

They deserve every bite that
passes through my children's throats.

Now tell me my sultans, while the siege continues, how
can I take this allowance and look at my children's faces?

Is this why you
refuse the allowance?

What other reason
could there be?

Our state came to our
door and protected us.

How could we refuse?

Do not think that I want to keep my
children away because I have lost one life.

I am raising them after
their father so that...

...when a sacrifice is needed,
they will apply their henna and go.

But these children
also need to eat.

Thanks to Allah.
They eat enough.

Once our Hunkar
conquers Constantinople...

...the horses that carry victory
in their hooves enter the city..

...our soldiers conquer the city and gain a victory,
then I will come and take what my martyr deserves.

But not now, my
sultans. Not now.

Not how.

If the well we are entering is
about twenty arschin deep...

...then we need a strong rope.

From the bottom of the
well to the exit point...

...if the distance
is four acres...

...then we need men
with strong lungs.

I am going to drown,
take your hand off!

I am trying to lift my head,
and you are still pushing it down.

Do you have to test
everything on me, Satilmis?

Even Saltuk, the dragon of men, can hold
his breath only for this long in water...

...this plan will not work.

What does it have to
do with this? Am I a fish?

I am an Akinji! It's a human
lung, we need another lung for this.

-What do we need?
-I am saying...

...this is not enough,
we need another lung.

You are the genius of our army.

Of course!

We need two lungs, right!

We need two lungs!

You got beaten in the
morning, and you started...

...getting ideas again,
huh? What is your plan?

I found out how we
will go underwater.

How?

We will use the reeds
in our hands to breathe.

Once we add a
sheep's intestine inside...

...we can go all the way to the cistern
underwater without being seen, evelallah.

Yes, you are right.

Here is our second lung.

What will the second
Reed in our hands be?

It will be our second
lung. What a plan!

-How do you think my mind works?
-Sheep intestine, huh?

I will give you
buffalo intestine.

Do not speak to me
like this in front of people!

This part is important.

It is very important for
the ships to move safely.

Let us talk with the volunteers.

And get to work at once.

They are very tired, my Pasha.

We told them to rest for now.

Let them catch
their breath at least.

The upcoming victory relies on..

...the breath in their lungs.

We are racing with time.

Both the sails and the
road must end quickly.

We have so much work to do..

...may Allah grants us strength.

They can give their lives
on my command, however..

...they are almost
completely drained.

Let them rest
just a little, Pasha.

There is no strength
left in them to get up.

I am telling you, we do
not have time, Pasha.

I was seeking solution for my trouble,
alas, my trouble was my solution.

Maybe the strength they seek..

...are hidden
somewhere inside them.

May I?

Of course, please.

Salamun alaikum.

-Alaikum salam.
-Alaikum salam.

I know, you are very tired.

And paid a great price.

Some of you spilled their
sweat, some, their blood.

Maybe you do not
have the strength..

...to get up.

However..

...you have the gem to..

...have people of
Muhammad [pbuh] Prosper.

What is that gem, you may ask.

That gem grants aameen to..

...the prayers of those..

...who wet their prayer
rug with their tears..

...those white beards..

...those white curls..

...and white brows.

That gem..

...carries us to a threshold.

Now, we are at that threshold.

Either we miss the chance..

...and as those who
came before us did..

...walk away from
Constantinople..

...or..

.We try..

...wash up..

...and leave a
gospel of conquest..

...to these lands..

...that our martyrs
spilled their blood on!

Inshaallah.

Those who are brave..

...may they get on the field.

May they not stood aside.

Those who have the skill!

Bismillah.

How good faith is, my Allah.

Notaras.

I knew you would
convince Gennadios.

You did a great job.

How?

How did you manage
to convince him..

...while he lost his
temper, Notaras?

Will you tell us too?

I gave some promises to him.

I swore loyalty.

For what?

I asked him to put aside..

...the troubles he has with
you until Mehmed is defeated.

And I swore to be beside him..

...to bring solutions
to those problems.

Will you keep that
promise, Notaras?

We will see it together..

...after defeating
Mehmed, your excellency.

Now, Aghas. You will put this..

...inside the stick well.

So that your breath
may not run out.

Don't just stand there!

If this is not inside this..

...you will get your breath
from somewhere else.

-Master Satilmis.
-Yes?

Won't they see this?

Look.

Brother, if they
look, they will see.

You will take measures.

We will take measures.
We will not show lit.

What measures will you take?

You do your digging and
all that. Let me come instead.

I am here.

You got in the guild
of sappers in haste..

...Saltuk, and you are still
talking about precautions.

Brother, who else got in
Constantinople more than me?

Who else knows
inside better than me?

Let me be beside
you just in case.

And stay with you,
will that cause issues?

Let me just come
for that reason.

Now you are..

...talking nonsense,
Saltuk. Come here.

You get back to work.

You understood what
I said, right? Good.

Come.

Come here.

Tell me, big man.

Are you coming to
Constantinople for me..

-...or for Fatma Hatun?
-Look here, madman.

Didn't I tell you not to
open that matter again?

That is done. It is
done before it started.

That is a lot of empty words.

Don't beat around the bush.

What is your heart telling you?

Tell me that.

We have taken all the measures.

Even if Mehmed's armies
pass the outer walls..

...we will get to the
inner walls before them.

Even if they get past there..

...we have put Greek fire..

...and boiling oil..

...on top of retaining
walls. Besides..

...the word you've sent to the
Pope must've reached him.

The Pope?

What Pope?

We've asked for naval
support from the Pope.

Hungarians have
readied their armies too.

Meaning, while Mehmed
thinks he has sieged us..

...we will siege him
from the outside.

The Pope only sent
death and evil to this city.

How much more do we
have to experience this?

The only evil in this
city are latins, is that so?

That is our internal matter.

You do not have the
right to speak. Now, shut it.

You are right.

I am not the one who
should be speaking.

The one who should be
speaking is his m*rder*r friend..

...who ex*cuted Demetrius.

Your majesty.

Someone who is seeking
audience with you awaits outside.

If you allow it.

Guards!

My Pasha, all the
ships are ready.

-They are all finished without any mistakes.
-Thank Allah.

May you prosper, my valiants.

Now, let that infidel
Konstantinos think.

He will lose all of
his remaining hopes..

...after seeing
Ottoman ships at Halic..

...when he wakes up.

There are only
these trees left now.

If we start now, it will be
finished until isha prayer.

Or not.

All those noise, falling of
trees will draw attention.

If they see this from
Constantinople..

-...all of our work and hopes will be for nothing.
-However..

...if we do it at night,
it will take time.

We manage the
army at night better.

We will call more soldiers.

It will end.

It will end.

If I didn't do as he said..

...Notaras would've k*lled me.

I had no other
choice, your majesty.

I will k*ll you..

...not because you
let a traitor escape..

...and not because you
saved your daughter's life..

...but because..

...you have betrayed..

...my trust, Notaras.

What about the disappointment..

...of those who trusted you?

I did everything
for them, Notaras!

But you did it for
your own future!

For a son that you
daughter will give birth to..

...so that he can sit
on this damned throne!

I have not shown mercy ever.

Nor will I show now, Notaras.

I am..

...the empire itself.

If you k*ll me..

...you would be k*lling yourself.

No one can know
what will happen..

...before k*lling you.

Atmaca.

We've surrounded
Constantinople from three sides.

It is in our palms.

The ships will get on Halic
from the ground, that is one.

We are waiting here..

...for gate of Kalagros
to open, that makes two.

What about the third?

Ishak and Saruca are waiting..

...in front of gates of
theodosius with Shahi.

They will get inside with the
hole they will make, inshaallah.

When will be the time
to strike, Halil Pasha?

When will you give the signal?

The signal will not come
from me. But from Shahi.

What do you mean?

When our Sultan
drops the ships to Halic..

Shahi will fire.

And that expl*si*n
will be a signal..

...to Ishak, Satilmis and to us.

And then..

...our swords..

...will do the talking.

When our swords start talking..

...all tongues will be cut!

I know that, however..

...we don't know what is inside.

We don't know what
awaits us. That is why..

...those who are skilled with
their swords, will survive.

This plan is the
grandest in the conquest.

We gave lives, and we took them.

We shared bread and destiny.

Even though our
mistakes makes us bow..

...our history makes us rise.

Now, I give you my
pardon in Qiamah.

It is not my place..

...to give you my
pardon, however..

...i give you my pardon too.

-May you prosper, Dogan.
-Eyvallah.

What about you, Bali Bey?

I cannot deal
with you in afterlife.

Giving you my pardon
would be the best.

Then..

..Give me your swords.

Put it.

Now, let us swore
as with tradition.

If we stay, we are veterans.
If we die we, are martyrs.

Take our swords.

We will either wake up at
the morning of conquest..

...or heaven.

Inshaallah.

Inshaallah.

Your excellency!

Don't do it.

Don't do it, your majesty.

If you k*ll Notaras..

...you would make the
biggest treachery to this city.

No matter what it is, the
cost of treason is death.

That is what you
taught me, Platon.

Notaras will pay for his
treachery. He must pay!

However, not now.

Mehmed is preparing
for a grand attack.

If you k*ll Notaras..

Gennadios will revolt again.

-Then we will k*ll Gennadios too, Platon!
-We will!

Then we will k*ll
those who support him.

-We will!
-No!

I will not listen to
you this time, Platon.

Your majesty!

Don't do it.

Your excellency.

The destiny of Rome lies
in your hands right now.

If..

...you k*ll Notaras..

...you will be the last
emperor of Rome.

Everything will be over.

If you let Notaras live..

...you will be the
supreme emperor..

...of Rome in history.

Make your choice.

Everything lies in your hands.

Make your choice.

Now..

...you are no grand Duke!

I am seizing your wealth
in the name of Rome.

You may leave the
city, I will not prevent it.

However, know that
you will be the most..

...vile grand Duke..

...of Rome in history.

Now get out!

Get out!

Shahi is ready
to fire, my Pasha.

Good, good.

It got cold, huh, Saruca?

This will be a long
night, dress warmly.

I said Shahi is ready
to fire, my Pasha.

We'll wait Saruca, we'll wait.

If we are going to wait for
the galleys to be lowered...

...we will have to wait until
the morning, my Pasha.

We will unite all our efforts,
Saruca, all our efforts.

At dawn...

...we will start
attacking altogether.

How, my Pasha?

Candarh Pasha..

Kurtcu Dogan, Bali Bey...

Where are they?

Have you seen them
at the quarters recently?

I haven't seen them for
a long time, my Pasha.

Because everyone pushes
their own door of fate.

We will enter
Constantinople from all sides.

And they will attack
the Kalagros gate.

When and how will we
use Shahi my Pasha?

Wait for news from me, Saruca.

Don't worry about the rest.

Eyvallah my Pasha.

Come on!

Bismillah!

Fire!

The letter clearly shows that
Konstantinos has fallen into our hands.

Constantinople has also
fallen into Mehmed's hands.

The orthodox can go to hell.

But we cannot abandon the Jewel
of Rome, Hagia Sophia to its fate.

We cannot drive
Rome into the abyss.

The Hungarians are
waiting for news to attack.

We can handle this
without involving Rome.

This is a historic opportunity.

If we extend the helping hand that Constantinople seeks,
tomorrow a whole new era for christianity might begin.

You are right.

But by the time we send this help,
Constantinople may have fallen.

And we will have gained
an enemy for no reason.

For this reason, this is not a
decision I can make on my own.

Invite all the cardinals.

We will establish a senate.

Allow me.

Aameen.

The galleys and the cannons
in them are ready, my Sultan.

If you allow us, we can Pierce holes
and make a sled path to carry them.

We are ready my Sultan!

My lions!

My valiants!

Brave servants of
the Ottoman state!

Just as you made these
galleys here in one night...

...you will succeed in making them
move on land with Allah's permission.

I trust you!

Muslims are people who...

...when they rely on Allah, know
that the impossible will happen...

...and that what would not happen in
forty years can happen in just one night.

Now...

Now, raise your axes in the name of Allah and strike
them down with the himmah of our prophet [pbuh]!

Come on my lions!

Long live Sultan Mehmed!



Thanks to Allah, my Sultan.

If we continue working like this, it will
be finished before the morning prayer.

It must be finished, Lala.

All our soldiers are
waiting for a signal from us.

When the galleys
enter the golden horn...

...our soldiers will enter through the gates.
-Inshaallah.

Inshaallah they
will be finished.

That infidel Gio...

What if he makes a
mistake, my Sultan?

What if the infidel Konstantinos has taken his
precautions and is waiting for us? What will happen
if all that effort, all that hope goes to waste?

What is it?

-Are you afraid?
-It's not fear...

I am wondering whether we did the right thing by not
telling Konstantinos this, or whether it was a mistake.

Mehmed built dozens of galleys.

And now, he will carry them on land
and bring them to the golden horn.

What do you think would have happened if
Mehmed's plans had been ruined because of us?

Let me tell you.

Mehmed would make
us pay for all this.

Maybe...

...we might not have
a city in the end, but...

There is no but, Samuel.

Mehmed can protect us
against all Christian states.

But even if all
Christian states unite...

...they won't be strong enough
to protect us from Mehmed.

I am worried, I think we
cannot trust infidels, my Sultan.

Gio is on a fine line
between life and death.

Now, he will choose his side.

Will that be our
side, my Sultan?

The world knows that those
who are allies with us will prosper.

Those who are our
enemies will perish.

Our swords strike for justice...

...but they show no
mercy to our enemies.

Alright... we are here. Now...

...this is the place where
we will struggle, Aghas.

From this point, we will use
our breaths wisely to stay alive.

We will hold our
breath, pass this tunnel...

...and get in.

And we will open that gate for
our army, with Allah's permission.

May my almighty Allah help us!
-Aameen!

Come on Saltuk Efendi..

You said you were a
strong and a brave Valiant.

Come on now, you'll go first.

I will be the last to come!

What does it have to do with me?

You are the Agha,
you are the leader.

Don't play with words, Saltuk!

You will get in the water first!

Astaghfirullah my Agha.

How can I compete with an Agha?

You are the leader.
Come on.

Am I the Agha, brother? -Yes!

It's me, right?

Then you will go first!

You are still wasting time!

The emperor said that a traitor
cannot take anything with him.

Hurry up!

Who do you think you are?

I am Megaduke Notaras!

You are nothing now!

And all those things in that
chest belong to the empire...

...not you. -Soldier.

What belongs to the empire
belongs to the emperor.

No one can touch on
things that belong to Notaras.

Get out.

Thank you Platon.

I am not doing you a favor...

...i am doing
Notaras family a favor.

Otherwise...

...such carelessness
does not deserve any favor.

I don't expect you
to understand me.

Because it's impossible for you to understand the
righteousness of doing something for your child.

I told you when
you got in politics.

I said that the one who
has weakness will lose.

But you did not listen to me.

You became a father.

First, your wife left you...

...now, look at what happened
to you because of your daughter.

What a shame...

There is no benefit to discussing
these things for either you or me.

For everything...

...thank you again.

There is one last
thing to do, my Sultan.

Moving the ships
on land, inshaallah.

One last thing.

It's the last one, but it's
the most difficult one, Lala.

You made us believe that
we can do this, my Sultan.

The sails of the galleys
are gathered, right?

Don't worry, they are gathered.

Excellent.

Some of the torches
will be put out now.

Check the ropes
one last time, Lala.

They will be checked,
my Sultan. Bahadir Pasha.

You, put out the torches. You
check the ropes. You go to the galleys.

Come on, my lions!

Pull the rope!

Come on, my valiants! Come on!

O, my heroic soldiers...

My valiants...

My strong soldiers...

Tonight, the seas will turn to
land, and the lands will turn to seas.

Come on my lions!

Come on my valiants!

Come on my valiants!

At dawn...

...Constantinople will wake up to its
in fortunate destiny. -Inshaallah.

Come on!

Go!

Go there and write an epic
that will never be forgotten!

To change both the history of the world and
the fate of a nation, show one last effort!

Ya Allah!

Ya Allah!

Now, bismillah!

Come on my valiants!

Come on my lions!

Ya Allah!

Ya Allah!

My Sultan!

-Saruca.
-My Pasha.

Shahi...

-It is ready for fire, right? -It is ready, my Pasha.
-Good, good.

When our Sultan succeeds, and when
the signal comes, we will fire inshaallah.

Don't... don't you make a mistake.
-Yes my Pasha.

Come on then.

Let's give fire to the enemy's
chest and fear to his eyes.

Let's not make
Constantinople wait.

-Saruca, fire all the cannons.
-As you order, my Pasha.

Come on! Ya Allah! Bismillah!

The cannons are ready!

Bismillah!

Fire!

Bismillah! Fire!

Don't worry.

These walls will
never be destroyed.

The Turks fired the
Shahi in the morning.

-After that, there was no shot, right?
-No, sir.

Shahi must have
already cooled down.

But they still haven't fired.

I wonder why they are waiting.

They are after something..

You said you knew Mehmed, but looking at your
state, it seems you don't know him at all.

He wants to test us with
fear, to test our patience.

Because the moment we take a
step back, those cannons will fire.

Looking at your state...

...it's clear that you
are afraid of Mehmed.

Not as much as
he is afraid of me.

Quiet.

Where are we now?

We will know now, brother.

You get the rest here quietly.

I will look around a little.

To see if anyone's
coming. Be quiet.

Did you come, brother?

-Is there any trouble, brother?
-What trouble?

Did I come here for nothing?

The real trouble is here.

We are inside now, what will we
do? I wish to soak my sword in blood.

Let us go outside and clash.

Shush, sit now.

Sultan's command is certain.

We will wait here..

Until Shahi Cannon is
fired. Don't move around.

Come on now.

I know this place..

...let me have a
look around at least.

Get some bread and jam too.

We are hungry, right brother?

We are quite available too.

Let us have a picnic here.

-And just lay around.
-You're right, we're hungry.

Stay there. Don't
disrupt the plan.

All of you, go wait
at somewhere.

No place to put this one too.

Still no news.

What is our Sultan
doing, I wonder.

The signal is surely
about to be sent, Bali Bey.

Let us be cautious.
That will be enough.

Always, my Pasha.

Halil Pasha.

-Something gets on my mind.
-Yes, Dogan Agha?

Will those ships really
move from the ground?

If Sultan wishes, the
ships can fly and walk.

Look, even Satilmis
became a fish.

Staying underwater
for that long.

What is he doing now, I wonder.

Did he get in safely?

They must've.

However, I don't know if
Saltuk will just stand around.

My Allah!

-My Sultan!
-Get up! Come on!

-Get up!
-Get up!

Get up on your feet!

Come on!

Get up!

To the ropes!



-My Sultan!
-Get up!

Get up!

Give us strength!

Do not fail us!

Yardim edin!

Help us! Carry the wounded!

Get him out!

Help us!

The ship got off the
supports! It will fall down!

Come on!!

Bring the support beams!

No one is coming.

Let me have a rest.

The city is under siege..

...the commander will come soon
and you are talking about sleep?

It's nothing. I
will be back soon.

Someone's coming. Hide.

Come on.

Pull!

-Hold it!
-Come on!

Pull!

Hold it tightly! Everyone pull!

-You need to put it back to the supports!
-Come on!

My Sultan!

Don't push yourself!

Thinking and planning is not
enough! Sweat is needed as well!

Come on!

We will break as much
sweat as needed, my Sultan!

-Come on, valiants!
-Come on!

More strength!

Come on, valiants!

Pull it!

Who is there?

I said who is there?

Who do you think? Your death.

Wait.

Saltuk, what will we do now??

Do you understand
why I'm here now?

You go to your places
and wait for my signal.

Come on.

Slowly!

We don't need any more trouble.

Son, you will get your
hands stuck. Be careful.

We are ready to give our lives
to our Sultan and his cause.

A hand is nothing.

Don't let your hand nor
the conquest be harmed.

-Be a little slower, that will be enough.
-Alright, my Bey.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Do you remember,
Lala? Years ago..

...while I was a child..

...i told you that we will
come to the walls of this city..

...and get past these walls.

Of course I do, my Hunkar.

Of course I do.

As if it was yesterday.

How the time flies.

Now..

...you've become a grand ruler.

Our rabb has granted us
a sight of this, alhamdulillah.

With Allah's permission,
may Constantinople..

...be the Jewel of your throne.

Inshaallah.

Inshaallah.

Despite all of our efforts..

...I've sent word to our spies..

...for a possible attack
that can come from..

...the Pope and
Hungarians, my Sultan.

If the Pope is willing to carry the
burden of Byzantine, he is welcomed.

However, the Pope knows that..

...if he gets involved in this..

..We will have a rest at Rome..

...and put our three Crescent
banners at the palace in Vatican.

That can happen too,
if you wish, my Sultan.

Evelallah.

I was hesitant
about helping first.

However, the offer
of Hungarians..

...and the fact that fire
will not spread to Rome..

...has relieved me.

While our holy temple,
Hagia Sophia is in flames..

...our hearts
wouldn't stay silent.

You did the right thing.

Is there anyone who
will speak against the..

-...call of Konstantinos?
-We should help.

Constantinople can
not be left to its destiny.

We need to make the
cross powerful again.

We are not afraid of Turks.

Since all of you
think the same..

...what is suited for me to..

.Answer to this call..

...and aid our
Christian brothers.

Send word to Hungarians.

Didn't we tell you that
no one's allowed in?

I wouldn't have bothered
you if it wasn't important, sir.

What is so important
to disrupt our meeting?

The Sultan of Ottomans,
Mehmed, has sent a messenger.

Mehmed understood what will
happen to him. He seeks peace.

However, after all this blood..

...it won't happen if
he does not kneel.

Just send him away.

However, he is not
a normal messenger.

One of Mehmed's viziers.

From what I understand..

...he seems very furious..

...and did not come for peace.

Who is this insolent?

Let him in.

I am Sultanu'l-Berreyn
and -Bahreyn..

...padishah-i Alem pena..

Sultanu'l-Islam
Sultanu's-Seladdin'e Sultan..

...the ruler of Turks..

...Sultan Mehmed han's vizier..

...sehabettin Pasha.

I have heard that a decision is to be made...
I am here to declare verdict.

Why did you k*ll the man?

Now we'll have to deal with it.

Saltuk, what will
we do with this one?

The tiger has to
taste blood, brother.

Now, everyone will
do what they do best.

It has been five minutes,
he hasn't come yet.

Now if commander comes here..

Franklin! Franklin!

Go, go.

Franklin!

Franklin, I'm calling you!

Are you still
sleeping? Franklin!

Did you die, you sleepyhead?

Franklin!

Franklin!

So we came across..

-...the wise one of infidels.
-Who are you?

Come on, next to your brother.

Satilmis.

Look. The situation has changed.

They will keep coming, they will
all come one by one out of curiosity.

Now I will go up and face
them there to protect you.

We cannot do that, brother. What are you going to
do against that many soldiers alone? -Satilmis.

Now I am in charge, the
situation has changed.

Just like you gave us orders
there, now you will listen.

You will stay here
until Shahi Cannon fires.

If I survive until the duty
starts that will be enough for me.

-After this, even if death comes, I will say eyvallah
to everything Allah sends. -Don't do it, brother.

How can you say that?

Will the great hero Saltuk
let a few infidels defeat him?

Brother, this is not about
Satilmis' or Saltuk's life.

We are here for conquest
Satilmis, we are here for conquest.

If necessary, we will let them k*ll us. If necessary,
we will give our lives without hesitation.

Come on.

My Valiant.
-Still, be careful brother. Alright?

Look, we will organize
your wedding soon.

I promise, if not here,
it will be in heaven.

Pray, brother.

-Pray.
-May Allah protect you.

Valiants, give me your pardon.
-It's yours.

-I expect your prayers. Pray for me, my Valiant.
-Be careful there.

We didn't know that our power
would scare Mehmed this much.

What does Mehmed promise us
so that we don't stand against him?

If you don't want our bloody swords
to come out of their scabbards...

...you won't stand in front of us.
-How dare you?

Know your limits.

Let's cut off his tongue and send it to
Mehmed. They deserve nothing but that.

Since your mind and experience
are greater than those around you...

...you were probably
elected Pope.

-What do you want from us?
-We don't want anything.

We command.

Even if you help
Constantinople...

...or not...

...we will gain a victory.

This conquest, which is promised
by the prophet [pbuh] Will happen.

After this conquest...

...you will decide...

...where...

...our horses will go.

It might be Vatican...

...or another place.

You will decide.

Our galleys are being lowered
to the sea one by one, my Sultan.

Alhamdulillah.

When all the galleys
are on the sea...

...start firing the
cannons, Bahadir Pasha.

As our glorious Hunkar orders.

Konstantinos will wake up this
morning to a terrible nightmare.

It's not a nightmare.

Konstantinos...

...will wake up to his fate.

The sun is about
to rise, my Pasha.

What if something bad happened?

Patience, Saruca. Patience.

Our Sultan knows what to do.

Inshaallah.

My Pasha.

My Pasha, our Sultan
has succeeded, my Pasha!

He succeeded,
Saruca! He succeeded!

Thanks to Allah!

Alhamdulillah!

O valiants of our great state!

O soldiers of victory!

The ones against you...

...can't love death
more than you.

They only hold
on to their fears.

But we swore to victory.

Our flag will never
fall to the ground.

Our swords will be
covered in blood.

We will place Islam's seal...

...on every stone!

Allah is the greatest!
Allah is the greatest!

My Allah, let us be victorious.
I am begging you my Allah.

Fire now, Saruca.

Our Sultan succeeded.
Thanks to Allah, my Pasha.

-Yes, thanks to Allah.
-I wonder if Satilmis has received the signal...

The sound of Shahi Cannon
must've been heard from the Payitaht.

Now it's Satilmis's turn.

The time is ours.

The gate! The gate
is opening my Pasha!

Draw the swords!

O Constantinople!

Either the banner of Islam
will be raised on these walls...

...or this body...

...this soul, in a way
worthy of a turk...

...will be wrapped in a shroud.

This city is our destiny.

With Allah's permission, these walls will be
destroyed. Constantinople will rise with us.

Neither the Pope's prayers...

...nor Rome's armies...

None of them will be
able to stand against us.

We came here for victory.

We will conquer the city, and
the victory will belong to Allah!
