My Sultan, it would be
wise to hasten the process..
...in case of a
rebellion, if you wish.
I warned you.
However, you did
not listen, Ali Bey.
This is no Constantinople.
And I am not Konstantinos.
Do not worry, Aleksandros.
Your end will not be so
different from Konstantinos!
Take them to prison!
At once!
The price of this villainy
will be severe, emperor!
Your crown will fall for it!
Take them out!
Take them all!
We're nearing the shore. What
do you command, my Pasha?
Wake up!
Wake up, all of you!
Akkoyunlus are also turk men.
They may unite and
grow enmity towards us.
Also, they are relatives
to the Ottomans.
The fight for land is
such a devious thing..
...that it can make
brothers enemies.
Don't worry, Uzun Hasan
will also favor this situation.
What do you think you're doing?
Forgive me, emperor.
It is important.
The Ottoman Navy is here.
How?
How many are there?
Around thirty, your excellency.
Hurry.
Mahmut Pasha.
I should've known it was you.
What do you want from us?
Everything that belongs to us.
This is Pontus.
We go by with trade.
It depends on
what you will give.
I'm not here to
give. I'm here to take.
Your biggest Akinji
beys are in my hands.
You are acting
a little too brave.
This castle that you hide
behind consist of three parts.
You live inside the keep.
And this is the
center of the empire.
Built on top of a rock.
These walls that protect you is three
archine thick and twelve archine long.
However, the material
is not that strong.
Just some limestone
and some basalt.
So?
It would collapse in
the first bombardment.
Just beneath the keep..
...there is a secret gateway.
However, do not even..
...think about
escaping from there.
As the ships have already
surrounded this place.
You can't get close to
the sea walls as well.
Meaning, neither your tunnels..
...nor your escape paths will
save you from your destiny.
You will give me the
Akinji beys until sunset.
What if I don't?
Then, you will be history.
You will be the first emperor
that Ottomans hang from the walls.
As per your command, we've sent
some of our Navy and Sipahis to Pontus.
You asked to have your
shadow be on top of them.
Is there a quarrel?
From what we heard, Mahmut
Pasha is leading the Navy.
He took our Navy and
Sipahis towards to walls.
However, we do not know why.
I do.
If Mahmut Pasha's news has
come, his arrival will not be long.
Make preparations.
Do you have any other
command, my Hunkar?
It seems the conquest
of Pontus is near.
Make sure the Navy is complete.
Take care of everything.
As our grand Sultan command.
Pontus.
I thought you would go
to w*r against Hungarians.
I do not wish to make those
wait who seek my wrath.
Pontus.
They called their own doom.
May your grand
vizier Zaganos Pasha..
...be well on the grand
eastern conquest of Ottomans.
First, we need to see
why he deserved it.
He played tricks on you.
Supposedly to uncover
Candarli's secrets.
Will you give him what
he wants, despite that?
This here is a lion's den, Vlad.
Anyone can get a promotion. As long
as they know I have the utmost power.
However, as I've just said. He
needs to prove that he's worth it.
How?
Now, there will be rebels
when Candarli is in prison.
The troublemakers, revolters.
If Zaganos can overcome
this difficult matter..
...then he will be fit for it.
What if he can't?
Then, we can find
someone who can, of course.
If it was Candarli,
instead of Zaganos now..
...he would've beheaded all..
...those who revolted.
And he wouldn't bother
you with these matters.
- However, now..
- What do you want to say?
What I mean is,
Zaganos is our Lala.
We love and respect him.
Even if he succeeds in this
trial, he will fail at the next.
For the future of the state..
...Candarh hall
Pasha must live.
Knowing that, will
you still make him rot?
Are you reading surah
of Yusuf, my Pasha?
Yes.
Well done.
Bismillah. Put it
somewhere high.
It would fit to read the reprisal of
Hadhrat Yusuf at madrasah-i Yusuf.
Why do they call this place
madrasah-i Yusuf, my Pasha?
Listen.
What does surah
of Yusuf start with?
Tilke ayatul kitabil mubin.
"I've told you the greatest
of reprisal and tales.”
"I did so, so that you
may learn from them."
Meaning.. Hold.
Do not hurry.
I am still talking.
It is about those who are free
and c*ptive, hungry and the full..
...meaning, this reprisal..
...is about all these conflicts.
As humans only
think after falling.
Either in a well or a cell.
Astaghfirullah, my Pasha.
Besides, you will get out of
here with Allah's permission.
I believe that.
Inshaallah. Inshaallah.
I am thinking, if my rabb
would send me a Valiant..
- ...to send word to Atmaca..
- My Pasha, of course.
If you have a command,
I can carry the word.
Really?
Then tell Atmaca to remind him..
...of the Wells we dug
together with Ishak.
Tell him to say,
Candarli Halil..
...has been pushed into
the well by jealous brothers.
Make him throw a rope.
As you command, my Pasha.
Come on.
"Pour out your tears
so that he can help you."
They took Halil Pasha to
the streets like a criminal.
In front of everyone.
WAIllahi my heart
burned when I saw him.
The great grand vizier,
Candarli Halil Pasha.
He didn't deserve this.
Why are you silent, Aghas?
When the head gatherer said you were
useless, didn't he help you, Huseyin Agha?
That's true, my Agha.
Today, aren't you an
Agha thanks to Halil Pasha?
That's true.
During the siege, you
were stuck at the gate.
Didn't our grand vizier come
and help you, Davut Agha?
Didn't he save your head?
That's true.
When your brother was sick,
didn't he bring him to the capital and get
him treated by reputable doctors, Ayaz Agha?
That's true, my Agha.
You are right.
Silence does not suit us.
Let's talk to Dogan Agha.
Let's say we need to stand behind
the grand vizier and speak up.
Good morning, Kurtcu Agha.
Sit down, Aghas.
Did you sleep well, Dogan Agha?
How could I sleep?
What are you implying,
cihangir Agha?
I'm not implying
anything, my Agha.
I know you
couldn't sleep either.
But staying silent is like
sleeping in ignorance, isn't it?
Does disloyalty
suit Janissaries?
Is it right to do this to
a man hike Halil Pasha?
Are we going to stay silent?
Aren't we going to do something
I know Halil Pasha
better than all of you.
We all walked in
his shadow for years.
But this guild didn't survive all
these years with what we felt...
...it survived on the
foundation of rules.
I will go to the palace.
I will speak to our Sultan.
I will tell him
about our problems.
But whoever draws a weapon or
causes rebellion without my permission...
...will pay the price.
Even if it's my own brother.
The Sultan said
to hide, so you hid.
Since that day, we haven't
heard your name or your duty.
What did you do? Where
have you been, Pasha?
I carried out the
Sultan's will, Ali Bey.
Are you talking about the
secret great east duty?
Our Sultan wanted us
to prevent any disasters...
...that could follow while
he faced Constantinople.
He ordered me to do this through politics,
without dividing the army's strength.
Since you managed to pull us from the mouth
of the Greek jackal alone, you succeeded.
Thanks to Allah, we turned those
who could follow us against each other.
We silenced the rebels
by cutting their heads off.
So your duty wasn't just Pontus?
No, it wasn't.
From Akkoyunlu to Timurlu, from Karaman to
Morea, we built political networks everywhere.
We established order
through our spies.
We can see the wisdom and strength
of the Valiant our Sultan has chosen.
Mashaallah.
Live long with your
name, Mahmud Pasha.
Mashaallah. Mashaallah.
- Satilmis.
- My Pasha.
The Sultan wants at least one
well to be dug in every street.
He says the people
must reach water quickly.
Don't worry, my Pasha.
We will work from all sides and fulfill
the Sultan's command, with Allah's help.
Good, good, mashaallah.
Selamun aleykum my Pasha.
May it be easy Aghas.
Aleykum selam Atmaca.
You still haven't finished
digging Satilmis Agha.
How many Wells have you built?
As long as our Sultan wants us
to, we will keep digging, Atmaca.
If the Sultan said it, alright.
You should not trust
beys or pashas...
...and dig a well.
Satilmis, get back to your work.
Atmaca, it's clear you learned the art
of speech well from Candarli Pasha.
But cut it short.
I didn't even like listening to long
stories when the Pasha told them.
My Pasha said Ishak
doesn't like stories.
He likes playing instead.
What are you
talking about Atmaca?
Which one should
I tell you, Pasha?
The Karaman battle?
The Sultan walking under swords?
The ambush on the Sultan?
Or shahzade Ahmet's death?
Don't tell any of them,
don't tell any of them.
Someone might hear us.
I don't even need to tell
you. You already know.
The grand vizier made the
plan, and you played it well.
- The Pasha says...
- What does he say?
He says we'll either go into
this well together with Ishak...
...or climb out with
the rope Ishak extends.
But how will Ishak's
rope reach this well?
Turkmens' cloth is
strong. Their rope is long.
"He should go to them and
tell them about my situation.
He will learn the
answer there." He said.
Good. Good.
Ah Candarli.
Ah Candarli.
I was waiting for you
to lead the Akinjis...
...you became the commander
of levents, Bahadir brother.
Mountain or sea, what difference does
it make? Everywhere is the b*ttlefield.
Everywhere is the b*ttlefield.
Welcome.
You finally joined us.
The levents brought fresh fish
from the sea. Do you want some?
I would eat anything
from your hands.
Eyvallah.
But now is not the
time, Bahadir brother.
May it be good.
We'll see if it is good or bad.
You must have heard what
happened to the grand vizier.
When I was at Enderun...
...the Janissaries used to
call Halil Pasha ' "'our father".
"Our father".
If they didn't give up their father,
the cauldron must have started boiling.
You are right.
You are right, but
what can we do?
I thought about going
to the janissary corps.
But I hesitated because going
alone wouldn't be appropriate.
You thought well. If you go
alone, you will only grow the fire.
Even your presence
there could cause rumors.
Right.
Our reputation is not
very bright these days.
Bahadir, if you want to go there,
don't go alone. Let's not get into trouble.
My relationship with
Dogan Agha is different.
- Captain.
- Don't worry.
It would be better if I go alone. Otherwise,
his nafs might not be able to stand it.
I hope bad things
stay away from us.
Sit down.
When did you come?
I've just arrived.
When the state is big, thanks to
Allah, there's always something to do.
Captain!
Ah Candarl!
Ah Candarli!
Candarh ah... first you dig a well, then when you
fall in it, you cry out saying you're like Yusuf.
Ah Candarl...
What about the things
that will happen to me?
The things that
will happen to me...
Ishak, Ishak.
Your name is neither
Ibrahim nor Ismail.
If you fall into the fire, it won't cool you,
if you're sacrificed, no ram will come down.
Of course, they didn't name
you "Ishak' for no reason.
Wait for your turn,
stay where you are.
This is not the time
to complain, Pasha.
Will we go to the turkmens
or not? We must decide.
We must decide.
If it were easy to decide,
would I be struggling like this?
I and Candarli have
done at least forty things.
Forty things.
Let's say we are
granted with mercy.
But from how many
things? How many?
If we don't get punished for
setting a trap for the Sultan...
...then we'll get punished
for Ahmed's death.
If not one, then the other.
You see, Ishak, you
will lose your head.
If we don't do what Candarli says,
won't he tell the Sultan about us, Pasha?
Right.
Right.
If we don't go, the well is deep.
If we go, the dungeon is cold.
We must find a fine path.
A fine path. We must
please Candar ill...
...and also make
the Sultan happy.
What if we do this, Pasha?
Tell me.
If we whisper the rumors to the
turkmens and fill the well this way...
...we do what Candarli says
without drawing attention.
My Hunkar.
How is your wound, Dogan?
Are you feeling better?
Thanks to Allah, my Hunkar.
You said the
matter is important.
You said you couldn't
wait for the hearing day.
I came for grand vizier
Candarli Halil Pasha, my Hunkar.
Will you ask mercy
for that cruel man?
Cruel...
...or loyal?
Everyone calls
him different things.
But I cannot deny my old
friendship and loyalty, my Hunkar.
Loyalty is not always right.
Sometimes it blinds
your eyes, Dogan.
Do you know what dark things
that cruel Halil was involved in?
What he did?
I know, my Hunkar.
So Dogan?
If you know, why do
you ask for mercy?
What I ask is not
mercy, my Hunkar.
I only want to remind
of the scale of the past.
The sake of it.
You once punished me
with sticks, my Hunkar.
You took off my clothes
and threw me out of the corps.
But thanks to the help of the
ak sheikh, I returned to myself.
I returned to my
corps and my state.
You gave me that chance,
my Hunkar. You granted it.
I say Halil Pasha
deserves the same chance.
You have the power to give.
Don't hold back your mercy.
Look Dogan.
That Halil took my
brother Ahmed from me.
That Halil made many plans to
make us give up the conquest.
Are you defending
Halil to me now?
I would never, my Hunkar.
- Don't you...
Don't even speak to yourself
about this matter, Kurtcu Dogan.
Don't, so you
don't get hurt too.
We follow whatever decision
you make from your heart.
But some decisions
echo as big as conquest.
May Allah protect our
state from such disasters.
Come Dogan. Come. Come closer.
Come. Come all
the way here. Come.
Sit. Sit. Sit.
You know, Dogan. I like you.
But what you said
sounds like a threat to me.
You know my past, my Hunkar.
I don't threaten.
I don't know how
to threaten either.
I am only telling you which way
the wind blows around your throne.
The wind only takes
dust from the rock.
Don't forget.
Get up Dogan.
You may leave.
If you are a straight arrow, they throw you far. If you
are a bent bow, they hold you in their hands. Right?
Welcome, my Pasha.
Why didn't you tell
us you were coming?
Thank you... thank you.
Why would I need to send word or
a messenger to visit our brothers?
I just wanted to see the
foundation. The foundation...
To see its state...
My Pasha, we both improve the
foundation and we train as much as we can.
Good, good. Good.
The sooner our children learn to
use swords and bows, the better.
May it be good, Pasha.
When the days of w*r pass and the enemy is
defeated, then the fight in politics begins.
At that time, only those who are connected to the
state by blood remain, and those by reason too.
The ones connected by blood are
the turkmens. And the ones by reason?
The devshirmes, as you know.
Our Hunkar favors
them these days.
But all of them together are not worth
one Candarli Pasha or one Ishak Pasha.
Sure. Sure.
But how can I fight alone?
Why would you be alone, Pasha?
The grand vizier is with you.
Sure... you
haven't heard, right?
They blamed Candarli Pasha for a
few crimes and threw him in prison.
How is that possible? No. We
won't let them keep our Pasha there.
If needed, we will go to the Hunkar. We
will say Halil Pasha is our soul, our blood.
We will.
He won't listen.
If he doesn't listen,
we'll leave the city.
If we stay here, we stay only for
Halil Pasha. Not for anyone else.
That's what you say...
Well, if I take you
to the Hunkar...
...will you say the
same things there?
Of course, we will.
If we are brothers, if we
carry the same blood...
...this sword will not cut
this sheath, we will say.
Well done.
He saved us all from
a storm all by himself.
When he got into the duty..
Those who know him..
...doesn't even ask questions.
He used to bring death
everywhere he went.
Now, he got old.
However, a lion is still a lion.
Such a grand Valiant,
from our homeland as well.
How did we not
heard of him, Bali Bey?
He doesn't like fame.
He only does his duty
and goes dark again.
Two of the three towers in Rumelia
was taken by Mahmut Pasha.
However, only a
handful know his name.
How can you mediate for
Candarli before our Sultan?
Didn't I tell you that you will
consult to me about Candarh first?
All of Janissaries
are uneasy, Zaganos.
Candarli is a sturdy brick
at the wall of the state.
If it is pushed without a
care, it will crumble upon us.
Aren't you the Agha?
Isn't your duty to burden those
falling stones and lead them all?
How can you be an Agha if you
can't even make your Janissaries listen?
You don't know
anything about the guild.
You are too focused on Candarl..
...to care for anything else.
There is chaos swarming.
May Allah protect, if there would be
a fire, it would burn the whole state.
And I wish to prevent that fire.
There is not need for
quarrel, Zaganos Pasha.
If Dogan Agha went to the
Sultan, it must be needed.
Pashas, not only Ceri but
turk men are also uneasy.
They say that they will leave
if Candarli Pasha is ex*cuted.
And you are afraid of turk men?
Subjects cannot dare
show teeth to the Sultan.
We only saw the merciful
side of Sultan, until now.
Now it is time to see his wrath.
Those turk men you belittle is the
foundation of this state, Zaganos.
The foundation.
If everyone burn as they commit,
all this would be for nothing.
We wish to bring water
before the fire grows.
I do not belittle anyone.
And no one will be given water.
Those who burn themselves
will lose their heads.
That is your duty.
Since they speak to you..
...you will behead
those who rebel.
Do you hear what
you're saying, Pasha?
However, I know
you. That is not politics.
That is stubbornness.
Stubbornness is all.
However, know that
you are in the wrong.
I said what I said.
You can answer
to Sultan tomorrow.
It is up to you.
It will be apparent
that day, Pasha.
Let us leave, Kurtcu.
If it was up to Zaganos,
neither turk men..
...nor guildsmen would live.
Do you hear what they're saying?
Turk men and guildsmen united..
...showing teeth to our Sultan.
Maybe they do, maybe
the don't, Zaganos Pasha.
However, if it was up to me,
we should not push against it.
Do you think like them as well?
We need to go say our piece..
...before they start
with, "we told you so."”
There is no need to add wood to the
fire that can be extinguished with words.
Sahabettin, I represent
Sultan here, can't you see?
My burden is heavy.
How can we bend, while
our Sultan stands tall?
Our Hunkar does what
is expected of his position.
You fear of bending
before having the position.
Tell me now, what will you
do when you have the position?
How will you be
different than Candarl hi?
Ucuktepe is in our
Sultan's mind all the time.
That is why, he will
change his command.
Forget about it, Agha.
The conquest is over.
Our Sultan has no need
for us nor Halil Pasha.
Now, he is seeking revenge.
Cihangir Agha speaks truth.
It will be the guild
after Halil Pasha.
Kurtcu Agha is here.
Let us see what he
has returned with.
Why do you gather here?
Off to your duties.
My Agha, any news
from our Sultan?
Will he forgive?
Our Sultan's decision
is determined.
He will not change his
decision, no matter what.
And what did you do?
Did you just stay silent
and accept it, Agha?
Which tradition allows
going against Hunkar?!
What about leaving men behind?
Which tradition has it, Agha?
Why don't you tell us?
Cihangir Agha speaks the
truth. Candaroglu built the guild.
They took the
strength from Ottomans.
Stop the babbling.
You forgot about brotherhood
and companionship, Agha.
If it was old Kurtcu, he would
save Halil Pasha no matter what.
Shut it!
Hold.
There.
The apple of the people of
Muhammad [pbuh], Istanbul.
Mahmut Pasha.
Mash Allah, mashallah.
It is in Ottomans hands now.
Mash Allah.
Is that the Hagia Sophia mosque?
Welcome, my Bey.
You took the whole Navy
with you, they can be seen.
It was needed, my Valiant.
Please, my Pasha.
Bismillah.
Welcome, my Pasha. We
didn't know you were coming.
Isn't Bahadir Pasha here?
He is at the palace, my Bey.
- What?
Bahadir Pasha was saying
he couldn't leave the sea?
Is he a man of the palace now?
He still can't. But the situation
is complicated, my Pasha.
What is complicated?
Candarli Pasha is kept in the
prison. He has a court to attend.
What is it, Bahadir Pasha?
Did you come to visit..
...or to seek consultation?
Let us go to your room,
Dogan. We'll speak there.
Me and the guild is one.
One ear.
Go ahead.
You know what happened.
There is no need
to say it again.
You know I love and respect you.
Get to the point, Pasha.
You were a brother
and a father to me.
You accepted
becoming my relative.
There were many hardships.
You showed guidance.
However, now it is my
turn to show guidance.
It seems the
Janissaries seek to revolt.
However, this fire of revolt
will burn the whole guild.
Are you advising to our
Agha, Bahadir Pasha?
Cut it.
We are not
degenerates, evelallah.
However, we are not
unfaithful also, Bahadir Pasha.
Look, Dogan Agha.
My intention is
not to advise you.
I only tell you to
take care of the guild.
Or you will burn.
If you burn,
sorrow will find me.
No.
It seems you are
here to show teeth.
However, know this well.
We are the fire.
And the wood.
That will feed the fire.
Didn't we discuss this among
ourselves, Ishak Pasha?
Why are you
bringing it to Sultan?
Zaganos, you did
not resolve the matter.
You didn't even think on it.
If you had listened to me, I
wouldn't come to ask to Sultan.
Alright then, hear what you've
heard from me from our Sultan as well.
Maybe then you
will be convinced.
Alright.
Attention!
What is it, Ishak?
Why did you wish to see me?
My Sultan, the
turk men who heard..
...Candarli is put into prison..
...is uneasy with the situation.
Do you think that
he did not deserve it?
Get to the point, Ishak.
Yes, my Sultan.
They basically say
that, they will leave..
...if Candarh leaves.
Didn't you say that to Zaganos?
Didn't you go together
and made their hearts?
Zaganos.. I did.
My Sultan, I did.
Zaganos Pasha's judgement
seemed a little harsh to me.
That is why I wished to
come to you for consultation.
And what did Zaganos say?
Pasha asked for no mercy.
He wished for all turk men to be
beheaded who wished to leave.
Is it true, Zaganos?
Is that what you exactly said?
Yes, my Hunkar.
I wished to express your
seriousness of the matter.
So that they may know what
will happen with a wrong decision.
Do we behead anyone
who makes mistakes?
If we beheaded those who did
mistakes at the time, my Hunkar..
...they wouldn't dare making one.
If I beheaded everyone
who made a mistake..
...you wouldn't have your head.
- My head was also..
- However..
...we will make this
place a home for the turk.
We will make this place
turk Istanbul, we said.
If we behead everyone
who makes a mistake..
...can we make this
place turk Istanbul?
Forgive me.
I was too furious against
those who defy your command.
Justice, Zaganos. Justice.
Now, send word to turk men.
I will personally visit them.
I am informing the guards now.
There is no need
for preparation.
I am just visiting my relatives.
Don't let the guards come.
I will go alone.
As you command.
Dogan Agha, I am here
because you are dear to me.
However, there is nothing more dear
to me than our Sultan and the state.
Do you know what that means?
I may come here
for peace today..
...but tomorrow, I may come with
different intentions, if it's commanded.
Are you threatening us?
Bahadir.. Pasha.
No.
I do not threaten
you, Dogan Agha.
However, I will do the
same as you would do..
...to those who revolt.
I do not threaten. I only
tell what would happen.
Come on!!
Pack up faster!
We should've listened
to Hunkar first, my Bey.
What about the houses
that was given to us?
Sultan can fill them with the
strangers he loves so much.
If there is no place for turk men,
then there is no soldier to Sultan.
Sultan is coming, my Bey.
My Hunkar.
Where is it seen before..
...that turk men turn
their backs on Sultan?
We wish to leave
before our turn comes.
What turn?
The turn for sacrifice.
It eats turk men Candarli,
whom we rested on his shadow.
Those who sacrifice Candarli
will not show mercy to us.
Why should I not?
What is your crime?
We do not fear you, my Sultan.
However, we fear
the words we hear.
What words?
Who said what?
Zaganos Pasha said that turk men
should be beheaded, did he not?
There is Ishak Pasha.
Let him speak the truth.
Do not speak as
if you do not know.
No one can be punished..
...without my command in my land.
If not today, then tomorrow.
Those who seek to k*ll us..
...will surely get
what they want.
Since Halil Pasha's death is
near, it will be foolish to wait for it.
You may grow the
state with strangers.
However, do not forget that your
first steps started with turk men.
Eyvallah, my Valiant.
Enjoy, my Agha.
What is the situation, Atmaca??
The situation is apparent, Dogan
Agha. They seek to execute..
...our Pasha tomorrow.
What does Candarli wish from us?
Revolt.
No revolting.
No, my Agha.
My Pasha does not want revolt.
He only wishes
the pot to be spilled.
And he wishes for his janissary
sons' voice to be as loud..
...as a thunder
when the court starts.
So that Sultan and Qadi may
know who they're facing with.
The pot cannot be boiled
with kindling, Atmaca.
It is boiled with
anger and strength.
Don't mind the cherry inside.
When it is spilled, that
cherry will turn into blood.
Then, it will not be apparent
where the blood will flow.
That is why, tell Halil Pasha..
...that it cannot happen.
You shouldn't have
decided in a rush, Agha.
At least think about it.
Agha speaks the
truth, Kurtcu Agha.
Let us think.
It is Candarh Halil Pasha
that will be ex*cuted.
Besides, we are not a handful
naives that doesn't know tradition.
Farewell, Atmaca.
We will discuss.
Eyvallah.
You have the right.
You started this cause.
You built the first tents.
If the banner waves,
it is because of you.
It may be, however, is it not because
of Candarh Pasha, my Hunkar?
How can you execute
a turk men Bey?
If the state he seeks to harm is a turk is state.
The shahzade he harmed is a shahzade of Turks.
If the army he broke
is a Turkish army..
...then I will punish
without thinking twice.
Now you tell me, is Candarli who you call
"your Bey" and care so much about a turk men...
...and was my brother
Ahmed a complete stranger?
Are Ottomans who welcomed you and stood
with you in hard times, foreigners to you?
Tell me.
Hasn't our tradition continued
since our ancestor Oghuz Khan?
Isn't the head of the
rebel always cut off?
Now tell me, how many lives have
been lost in this cause on the bowstring?
Not only by our tradition.
Isn't it also a crime in our religion
to rise against the given orders?
I do not make
decisions in this matter.
Our tradition will make the
judgment, in the light of sharia.
I saw you as my brothers. I gave
you foundations, I gave you lands.
I believed that this city would
become turk Islambol thanks to you.
Now, whoever wants may leave. We
have much to do with those who stay.
We will turn the sound
of bells into azan,
Mark the Latin stones with the Oghuz seal and stamp
the domes of Byzantium with the turk men sign.
But when your grandchildren
return to this city one day...
...let them not gather the
broken pieces of a lost dream.
That's why I say, come, let's
build tomorrow's Istanbul together.
Are you standing
against your Agha?
We are not standing against you, Agha. But we
say, either stand with us or get out of our way.
Open your eyes, Dogan Agha. Don't you know
our Halil Pasha? Would he do such a thing?
Clearly, someone has
set a trap against him.
What we should do is stand
behind our Halil Pasha, my Agha.
Are you telling me
what to do now?
Do you know Halil Pasha better
than me? Do you love him more?
If the cauldron's fire burns
once, we burn a thousand times.
How will you stand the
loss of so many Janissaries?
Remember the day you were punished
in the janissary square, my Agha.
You lost your clothes and your honor.
Still, you didn't betray Halil Pasha.
The same reason you didn't betray
Halil Pasha is the reason we won't either!
Companions! Brothers! Aghas!
We know the
rules of Janissaries!
We never leave companions
behind, we never give up on them!
Shut up!
Get lost!
If he committed so many crimes
and confessed it, let alone Candarli...
...if Oghuz Kagan stood before Mehmed
Khan, it wouldn't make a difference.
He will be ex*cuted soon.
You are right.
But the end of this
is misty, Ali Bey.
I'm afraid this will not
end without bloodshed.
It's old Halil Pasha who
is going to be ex*cuted.
Bali Bey, you are right.
Send word to Sahabettin
Pasha, my son.
We will host him
here if he is available.
If he is not, we will go to him.
As you order, my Bey.
How many of you are left here?
With the Sultan's order,
Malkocogullari returned to the frontiers.
We don't have many men here.
Deliler also began raiding
the Hungarian border.
We don't have much time.
That's not important but... the
enemies are wearing our own clothes.
We will stand tall, Aghas!
We will stand strong!
May Allah accept it, my Pasha.
Atmaca...
Thank you.
Now tell me. Tell me, what news
do you carry under your wing?]?
I was just at the
guild, my Pasha.
As you estimated, Kurtcu
abstains from making a move.
But the other Aghas
are like flames.
All it takes is a spark for
them to burn everything.
Did you cause that spark?
With Allah's help.
They are all burning
in flames, my Pasha.
Good.
What about the turkmens?
Turkmens have also rebelled.
They said "'we will leave if
Halil Pasha is not released".
What about Zaganos?
As you said, my Pasha...
He ordered the execution
of the leaders of tribes.
But our Sultan
did not allow him.
He went there to talk to them.
So we got what we wanted.
Our Sultan has seen that
Zaganos cannot be a grand vizier.
He has no other
candidates around him.
The Aghas will handle the rest.
- My Pasha, and...
- Tell me. What?
Mahmud Pasha.
What happened to Mahmud Pasha?
He is back, my Pasha.
Has Mahmud Pasha returned?
Yes, my Pasha.
If Mahmud is back...
...then it means our
sala is already recited.
There is not a single state left in the north
where your shadow has not fallen, my Sultan.
The only pebble in front of
you is Pontus, as I mentioned.
It will live as long as
you allow it to live...
If you allow me...
You have accomplished a
great duty, Mahmud Pasha.
But we will not
get in a w*r now.
Surely, it will be
Pontus' turn soon.
What is your order, my Sultan?
I want you to be in my
council, under my shadow.
As our glorious Sultan orders.
This is a path that has been
carefully thought out and planned.
We have a long way to go.
The burden of the
da'wah is heavy.
But our faith is
greater than all of them.
That's why we want brave hearts
and tough wrists like you by our side.
Welcome.
You brought joy.
Now let's move on
to the other issue.
What does Zaganos Pasha
think? Does he have a plan?
He is doing his best.
But Evrenesoglu is right.
If something is to be done,
we in this room will do it.
Who is making these
treacherous moves, my Pasha?
Is there anyone you suspect?
If Dogan Agha stands strong, I do not think
anything will come out of the Janissaries.
But you also know the
Janissaries well from Bucuktepe.
What else?
From Sekban to Ilmiye, from Sipahis to
pashas, Halil Pasha has men everywhere.
It is impossible to predict who will stand
behind him and who will stand against us.
But we can guess
what they can do.
We will take
precautions accordingly.
If the Janissaries overthrow the cauldron, the
first place the rebels will go is the palace.
Is there anyone among the palace servants
who will join the rebellion, my Pasha?
I am afraid...
Candarli's shadow
is bigger than himself.
He has people who have sworn allegiance
to him and served him everywhere.
Then I will go to the palace.
I'll fulfill my duty there.
You will handle the rest.
What was done to the Serbian
despot Brankovic and my father...
...Sultan Murad Khan's wife Mara Hatun is not something
that a few principalities can handle on their own.
You are right, my Hunkar.
The infidels in the west
began to make moves.
Obviously the Hungarians
are provoking them.
The leash of the principalities
is in Hungarian hands.
But the Vatican also keeps
the Hungarian on a leash.
If we do not establish trust
in the west while we can...
...it will be difficult for us to establish the unity
we dream of in the east for the future, my Sultan.
But this will be difficult.
As you know, Hungary is always one step ahead
of us due to its position in the region.
If we want to continue our rule there,
everyone should feel our shadow on them.
Right, my Sultan.
But how can order be established
without defeating Belgrade...
...or without taking
a large army there?
Just as I made this last conquest
possible and with whom I fought.
Vlad!
My glorious Hunkar.
The ruler of the world!
Caesar of Rome!
Holy Hakan!
Fatih Sultan...
Enough...
With the effort you showed and success you achieved in
your duty, you were appointed as the Voivode of Wallachia.
You will protect my power
and represent me in that land.
Long live my Padishah!
I have no doubt.
I know that you will take the dagger from
the one who wants to stab me in the back...
...and break his wrist.
Now let's talk about
the boil in the east.
Pontus.
My Sultan, the King of
Pontus, Alexandrios...
...has already faced enough shame
by returning Bali Bey and Ali Bey.
But clearly, that does
not cool your anger.
It is not enough.
We must give a strong answer so
no one ever dares such a thing again.
Mufti Enam Efendi..
My Sultan.
Prepare declarations to announce that we
have declared a w*r on Pontus in the east.
Let all muslims who
want to join know about it.
As our strong Hunkar orders.
But as you know, my Sultan...
...the grand vizier also places
his seal on declarations of w*r.
Will you appoint a new grand
vizier before that, my Sultan?
What is happening here?
This is the Candarli mansion.
What is going on
here, head of Sekbans?
We are carrying out
the order of the Sultan.
Our Sultan? What
did our Sultan order?
He assigned the mansion to Mahmud
Pasha. That's why we are clearing it.
After the trial this evening..
...i ..Will appoint the
new grand vizier.
The seal is the last
thing to handle...
Because I already know
who will be the grand vizier.
This w*r is more
important than the trial...
...because the disrespect Pontus showed to
Evrenesoglu Ali Bey and Bali Bey cannot be accepted.
Mahmud Pasha.
From what you did in Pontus,
it seems you know them well.
What gives them the
courage to act like this?
Pontus has no strength to
resist our power, my Sultan.
But I believe they rely on
the caftan given by Akkoyunlu.
How can turkmens
kidnap children?
Aren't Akkoyunlus turkmens?
Do they support the
shameless act of Pontus?
My Sultan, if it is about power,
we cannot trust the turkmens or
Uzun Hasan. We must be careful.
Zaganos Pasha is right.
Mahmud Pasha, you know
that region and Pontus well.
From now on...
...you will follow the preparations for the
battle that Candarli was taking care of.
As our glorious Sultan orders.
Excellent.
Everyone must hold tighter
to the orders I gave before.
Your concern and effort should not
be about who will be grand vizier...
...but about who will be
on the front lines in the w*r.
Because in my mind, the grand
vizier has already been decided.
We know what Halil Pasha
wants from us, Aghas.
He wants us to overthrow the cauldron before
the trial starts and stand behind him.
We can do it, but what
about the Sekbans, the Akinjis?
Won't they stop us?
Most of the soldiers went to Edirne.
The Sipahis also went back to their units.
Only a few Sekbans and a few Akinjis
are left. We are the largest group left.
And one of us is worth
a thousand of them.
So what will we
do, cihangir Agha?
The fire of rebellion
will start in the streets.
I will take two units and
go out into the streets.
We will march loudly
all the way to the court.
Davut Agha.
You'll take a unit and go to Mahmud Pasha,
who moved into our Halil Pasha's mansion.
Eyvallah.
Are we going to k*ll
Mahmud Pasha, Aghas?
Mahmud Pasha is innocent.
He has just come here.
Wasn't there any other mansion in the city?
Why did he move into Halil Pasha's mansion?
Clearly, he also wants
to be grand vizier.
But, Agha...
No buts! This is not a game.
If needed, we will even give our
lives for Halil Pasha's well-being.
Ayaz Agha, you will take a
unit and walk to the palace.
If the Sultan does not hear
our voices, he will hear you.
We have brought down a Sultan
before and brought a new one.
We will do it
again if necessary.
Eyvallah my Agha.
What about our Dogan Agha?
What does he say about this?
Don't mind that he's saying no.
His heart is with us,
but he cannot admit it.
Even if he doesn't stand with us,
I know he won't stand against us.
But don't worry. I will go
and talk to him one last time.
I've asked mercy from
our Hunkar for Halil Pasha.
However, he did
not listen to me.
I also implied the Janissaries are
uneasy, however, it is for naught.
I had hopes for turk men as well.
However, it all failed when
Sultan went there alone.
O Candarli. You had to insist..
...that you will lead
alone! And now what?!
There, see what happened?!
Stop squabbling, Pasha.
Everything happens for a reason.
Our Hunkar will not give
up his command now.
Yes, he won't.
However, if he adds
another command to that..
...then both of
our heads will roll.
Do not forget that..
...Candarli did not
do those things alone.
While he went to the palace to
put shahzade Ahmed on the throne..
...i was waiting in
ambush on the way back.
What about you?
Didn't you put
Sultan under swords?
We did what we did!
There is no need to
keep on complaining now!
Dogan Agha.
It is only our lives, Ishak.
You wish to swim, but not get
wet. However, that can't happen.
We will pay the price.
Do you think I care
for myself now?
What about the Janissaries?
Will you be able to stop them?
Will your command
have any weight?
Do not worry about
the janissary, Pasha.
I will tie myself to
the door if needed.
You speak the truth, Dogan Agha.
I mean..
...hanging of Candarli
would benefit you.
You would get revenge in
one way or another, right?
What do you imply, Pasha?
Get to the point.
I do not imply anything.
I am talking about the
revenge of Baltaoglu.
What are you
talking about, Pasha?
Didn't Sultan tell you?
Is that so?
Get to the point, Ishak. Speak!
The person who k*lled
Baltaoglu and your man..
...is Halil Pasha.
Do you hear what
you are saying, Ishak?!
I do, Dogan Agha! I do!
Get your hands off of me!
I thought you knew that already!
O Candarl.
You wrongs are not just one..
.It is too much
for us to save you.
My grand Hunkar.
Does the Candarli
matter occupy your mind?
Sometimes, I do not
understand you, brother.
Why do you stall the matter while
it has apparent consequences?
What do you mean?
The matter of
Candarli is apparent.
It is apparent that Janissaries
will feed the fire also.
However, you show
mercy and wait. Why?
Of course, my
strength is enough..
...to suppress all the sound
and the growing of fire.
However, this matter will show
me who will I walk with tomorrow.
You want to get rid
of the cracks now.
Kurtcu is being tested too.
You didn't tell him
Candarli k*lled Baltaoglu.
If I had, Kurtcu would've
been mad and seek revenge.
However, I wish my
Agha to be discernment.
If his discernment is
sharp, he will be on my side.
If his sword is sharp..
...may he stand against me.
Halil Pasha.
How can you do this?!
How can you harm him?!
Did you say something, Agha?
My Agha!
What is it Davut?
What's the rush?
Ayaz Agha and cihangir
Agha. They will revolt.
They went to the forest
with those who followed them.
What are you saying?!
Didn't I tell you no one
will leave the guild?!
Hurry, my Agha.
Or they will spill blood
during the time of court.
That cihangir.
That Ayaz Agha.
I will break you two..
...and feed the fire with it!
- My Agha, let me get some men with us.
- We do not have the time!
I know that look.
You are valued, because you
speak what you have in mind, Vlad.
What do you think,
brother? Do not remain silent.
Let us say Kurtcu's
discernment is not sharp.
Let us say he started a revolt.
Won't you regret it as
you will be late, brother?
The dragon does
not play with fire.
It is the fire itself.
Every step is taken in my watch.
They will see me in
every plan they make.
You calculated everything.
You thought of it all.
You are two steps
ahead of everyone.
You know everything
before it happens.
I do not need to
know everything.
However..
...every matter in my land is
shaped with my command.
What is it, Dogan Agha?
You dogs!
What are you doing?!
We do what you could not!
You dogs!
Drop your swords, Dogan Agha.
Treachery to me?
Not to you. Because of
our loyalty to Halil Pasha!
You are making a mistake, Aghas.
Think about what you're doing!
The Sultan is making
a mistake, Agha.
He will harm our Halil
Pasha for nothing!
What will we do then?
Sit around like you?
Should we turn our backs to the
one who aided us, Dogan Agha?
Halil Pasha did many wrongs!
He k*lled Baltaoglu Suleyman..
...and made Akinjis and
Janissaries fight against each other!
Baltaoglu was our brother!
We grew with Halil Pasha
together in the same house.
We had feasts on the same table!
We fought together on many wars!
However, our Hunkar is right.
Halil Pasha has many wrongs!
Do not believe him, valiants.
That is slander.
Halil Pasha would not do
such a thing to Janissaries.
Didn't he donate all of
his wealth for Janissaries?
This is one of the tricks of
Sahabettin and Zaganos Pasha!
They want to k*ll our Pasha!
We will not allow
that to happen!
I didn't want this
to happen, Agha.
Forgive us.
Move, Agha.
Move away!
Let us leave if
you're ready, Pasha.
The court is about the start.
- I am ready, son, let us go.
My Pasha.
What are you doing?
Forgive me, Pasha.
No, don't get mad at him.
He's doing the right thing.
Even if you have a Sultan or a
Pasha here, always follow your duty.
Let us go.
Make way!
Hadhrat Fatih
Sultan Mehmed Khan!
Come on, Candarli.
Look here now.
Our mighty Halil Pasha.
Is he tired now?
No, my Hunkar. My strength
is in place, thank Allah.
However, I was thinking if it was right
to do this while we have all this work.
What should've we done?
You could've taken
banners of sanjak beys.
Just because they were against
the conquest of Constantinople?
My Pasha.
My Pasha.
If you allow me, Halil
Pasha has some heirlooms.
I came to get those, my Pasha.
Are there many?
They are few. However,
they have a past.
You may take them.
However, help me have
ablution first, Atmaca.
As you command, Pasha.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
How long have you
been serving Halil Pasha?
For around twenty years, Pasha.
For twenty years?
How did you survive?
With loyalty, Pasha.
I like a loyal man.
However, there are few
as loyal as you, Atmaca.
You even came all the way here to
see if I will be dead in the assassination.
My Pasha.
Don't tell me what
assassination now, Atmaca.
I like a loyal man..
...as much as I dislike
a dishonest one.
Pour it.
I need someone
like you. However..
...you can't even hold
this right, Atmaca.
How will we do this, then?
Pour it.
Go ahead.
Hold, Aghas!
What are you doing?!
Stand back, Valiant. We
don't have quarrel with you.
We will take Mahmut
Pasha and leave.
I will not warn you again!
Look here you dogs!
Drop your swords!
Do not stand in our way.
There will be many more
Janissaries from the guild soon.
Don't waste yourselves, Aghas.
Aghas!
Valiants!
The state lesson, number one.
Continuity is the key in state.
Valiants!
Aghas!
I was raised at the
guild, just like you.
I was not-blooded like you.
It still does, however..
...i spoke with my
Sultan about you before.
Whoever drops their
sword now will be spared.
Whoever does not
will be dealt with.
Do not believe them,
valiants! Aghas, they fear us!
That is why they
are saying this.
Look here in my eyes.
Do I look afraid?
Come on, drop your
swords and go back.
What are you waiting for!
Get back!
To your guild!
Come on!
Did they go to get Kurtcu?
Bahadir Pasha did.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Defendant, grand vizier..
...Halil, son of Ibrahim
of Candarogullari!
This not the time for quarrel.
You are in the
audience of sharia.
Bend your knees, Halil Pasha.
Bismillah.
The scale of justice..
...has been set.
It defies tyranny so
that Hakk may continue.
The helmet that protects..
...the state is
the justice itself.
The council here
does not follow..
...Hunkar's nor grand
vizier's command.
It is only hit by
the light of Hakk.
Neither the service made..
...nor the lineage matters.
Justice is delivered
everyone equally.
Whoever came to our
council for a trouble..
...will be judged with
the scale that we put.
We know Sultan as a human.
We do not think of grand
vizier as more than a human.
Defendant Halil, son of Ibrahim.
Claimant Mehmed, son of Murad.
Defendant Halil, son of Ibrahim.
The claims that was made
against you is not only a matter..
...of these lands, but the
whole believers of Islam.
I am opening the court, with
the permission from Allah.
First, the matter of..
...Baltaoglu Suleyman.
Candaroglu Halil.
You k*lled Baltaoglu
Suleyman Pasha..
...during the conquest
of Constantinople..
...trusting your position..
...and submitting to your nafs.
During the conquest,
when our Hunkar..
...asked you about this
matter, you stood silent.
Standing silent
means you admit it.
Explain yourself.
This is a slander!
Sit down, you shameless man!
Qadi Efendi, it was my ancestors who
first laid the foundation of this state.
Our honor is not written in the book in front
of you, but it is written in the tradition.
When the seal of the grand
vizier was given to me...
...it was not only the burden of representing
the Padishah but also the burden of the ummah.
I was aware of that.
Don't talk about the
details, start explaining.
It is claimed that I k*lled
my son Baltaoglu Suleyman.
But everyone here
knows the truth.
We all wear these turbans on our heads and these robes
on our shoulders to sacrifice ourselves for the state.
Don't try to hide your current
betrayal behind your past loyalty, Halil.
If there is anything worse
than an eye used to darkness...
...it is an eye
used to sunlight.
Because the eye blinded by light
cannot see even what is in front of it.
Our Hunkar who saw Constantinople as a light
of hope, has become blind because of it.
Speak properly,
you miserable man.
But only those who are
not miserable can see this.
Only they can understand it.
Then why did you k*ll Suleyman?
The grand vizier sacrificed his own son to
stop the army from falling off the cliff.
I did not decide that, and I was
not involved in this. But I know this.
My son Suleyman, who started serving the
state as a janissary, died for the state..
Suleyman was a
victim of your politics.
Now that same politics will
wrap around your neck like a rope.
The politics I followed gave
Ottomans two centuries of life.
Two centuries.
I was born with tradition, lived with
tradition, and will die with tradition.
If death comes on
this path, it is welcome.
They stain the name of the
Janissaries" spiritual father, Halil Pasha.
They chain his freedom
and want to k*ll him.
Tell me, when we judge our janissary brothers in our
own corps, would we hand over our father to strangers??
They are setting up a fake court tonight for
our Pasha who gave us all his wealth and mercy.
Their intentions are clear.
Do we forget someone
who did good to us?
We don't!
In short, it is time to
go to the b*ttlefield.
Let's go, destroy that court
and take our Halil Pasha.
Where is Kurtcu Agha, Cihan
Agha? Why doesn't he tell us this?
Our Kurtcu Agha
has returned to Edirne.
He said he trusted us
and left it to us, Aghas.
Bismisah! Allah Allah!
Dervishs, Makbulans.
Bare-headed, bare-chested,
eyes full of blood...
Those who made
Yazid vomit blood,
those that save heads
from the lion's paw,
many heads are severed in
this field, no one asks why.
Our leader, our Hunkar, Haci
Bektas-i Veli, shah of Khorasan...
...let's say hu for all!
Silence!
Defendant...
...Halil, son of Ibrahim, you
deny the matter about Baltaoglu.
You say you were not
involved in the m*rder.
What about the Janissaries and Akinjis
fighting each other after the m*rder?
Were you not
involved in that either?
The fight between Janissaries and Akinjis happened
because of the disorder and lack of tradition in the army.
I gave no order or
command. I was not involved.
You talk about tradition, but tradition
is measured by loyalty, not betrayal.
You talk about order, but your order is
just an order built by your own shadows.
Mehmed.
It is an order where the
orders of Hunkar has no power.
Brothers fight each other,
and kut [royal] Blood is spilled.
That is your order.
Mehmed, son of Murad, we haven't started
talking about the blood of the shahzade yet.
Since we started talking about it, let me
explain about the death of our shahzade Ahmed.
When our Hunkar sat on the throne, he prepared to conquer
Constantinople, even though it brought all threats toward him.
He did not care about the Karaman in our
back or the European powers in front of us.
As someone who saw the state nearly fall apart during
the time of interregnum, everyone close to me...
...knows that I thought a change in ruler would be
better for the state. And everyone knows that...
...i did not k*ll shahzade Ahmed, brother
of our Hunkar, but Evrenesoglu Ali Bey...
...who was brought to the
capital by the Sultan did it.
Are you putting the blame of your
evil plans on Evrenosoglu now?
If you hadn't tried to bring my brother
Ahmed to the throne for your politics...
...Evrenosoglu wouldn't
have done such a thing.
Maybe my brother Ahmed
would still be alive today.
My Hunkar...
- Leave everything aside, Halil...
Even the kut blood you spilled for
your politics is enough for your execution.
Are you the one who gives the decisions
here, or is it the Hunkar, Hizir Celebi?
Sharia makes the judgment,
I declare the decision here.
Mehmed, son of
Murad, do not interfere.
What happened, Chamberlain?
Mahmud Pasha is here.
He wants to attend the trial.
Now we move to the final stage
where the ruling will be announced.
Aghas!
Go back!
The road you are
on leads to darkness!
Move aside, Dogan
Agha! We have set out.
Let alone darkness, even if it
leads to death, we will not return.
You are my brother...
I am saying this
for the last time.
You are on the wrong way.
I don't want to shed
blood for no reason!
Go back!
If you take one more step,
you will pay the price of it.
If you don't want blood to be spilled, then
why do you let them spill Candarli's blood?
Get out of my way, Agha!
- Don't brother!
Go back!
Those who stand
against our Hunkar...
Whoever draws his
sword will lose his head!
I won't care even if you are my
brother or companion, I'll k*ll you!
Now...
Bow down and ask for mercy!
Brother...
Brother...
I told you not to come...
I told you to stop...
I told you to not do it...
You did not listen to me...
Finally, by forgetting the fact that you are not
the owner of the state but the representer of it...
...using your grand vizier
seal for your own plans.
What do you say to the accusation that you
tried to disrupt the order of the Hunkar...
...through domination?
I learned from my father and grandfather that; If the
Sultan who ascends to the throne is inexperienced...
Our duty is to take
the reins of the state...
...and bring the state
to the nearest port.
And in the ages when the Sultan
proves himself, it is to be a shadow.
It is staying in the back.
Now I am asking
the attendees here.
Have I ever rebelled
or caused an uprising...
...after Mehmed
became the conqueror?
This is exactly what I meant by
saying 'i am the owner of the state.”
You said that you became the grand
vizier to an inexperienced Hunkar.
But you were nothing but
a chain to a powerful state.
With the lust for power that you
hide under the caftan of grand vizier...
...you tried to dedicate
this property to yourself.
Look, Candarl..
Listen to me carefully.
You are my Lala.
You are my heirloom
from my father.
I've been watching
you since I was a kid.
I learned many things from you.
I followed every step you took.
You had wisdom.
You had cautiousness.
You had power.
But you were never fair, Halil.
Where there is no
justice, tradition is just a lie.
Order is oppression.
Loyalty is ash.
And I will not leave even
your ashes in these lands.
This is not the
place to say that!
We listened to both the
claimant and the defendant.
Now it's time for the verdict.
Mehmed.
Look into my eyes.
You neither asked nor listened
enough to make a judgment Qadi Celebi.
You don't even have witnesses.
The judgment of sharia
is always fair, Candarl..
Despite all this experience,
you are still in a hurry.
Mehmed, son of Murad, did you bring your
witness who gave you information about...
...all these crimes?
I did, Qadi Efendi.
I did.
You underestimated both
my wisdom and my power.
And that is because...
You never wanted to
see me, Lala Pasha.
You never believed me.
I warned you many
times. I told you not to do it.
You never loved me, Halil.
I did, but...
You tried to hide what you did
even from your own shadow, but...
You couldn't hide
them from my shadow.
Chamberlain Efendi..
Bring the witness.
Atmaca.
Do you testify about
the matters for which...
...you have previously
been given information?
In the m*rder of Baltaoglu Suleyman,
the death of shahzade Ahmed...
...and the fight between Janissaries
and Akinjis... was Candarli involved?
Yes.
By the order of our Hunkar, I carried out a
special duty next to Candarli like his shadow.
I shared the details of this
duty only with my Sultan.
Candarh Halil Pasha is
guilty in these matters.
O Halil, son of Ibrahim.
This court has not judged the
title given to you, but your actions.
The statements heard here
have been taken into account.
It has been seen that you measured the
well-being of the state by your own influence...
...and turned the seal of the grand
vizier into your personal seal.
The reason...
...for this judgment, in the
name of sharia, under the shadow...
...of the quran and the sunnah,
the ruling about you is clear.
For the safety of the world's order, the establishment
of justice, and the removal of political fitna...
...i will declare the verdict.
Justice can only rule
with the one who is just.
The death of Candarli Halil, son of Ibrahim,
is rightful, and his execution is permissible.
The trial is over.
I have carried these words in my
heart for years like an oath, like a vow.
I learned the same words
from my father at school.
I taught them to
my son at school.
Whatever I did, I did it for
the tradition of the Oghuz.
Now, even though I am facing death I
repeat the same oath, the same words:
Either a leader, or a kneeler.
Mahmut Pasha.
Have you come?
I have come, Pasha.
Since you've come, then
it is time for me to leave.
Mahmut Pasha, the
state is entrusted to you.
There will be those
who will seek to harm it.
Do not let them.
Do your politics not for
yourself, but for your state.
So that the sultanate of our
Sultan may be long and strong.
We will do as we
saw from you, Pasha.
Our Sultan is grand.
Do not withhold your qualities.
He is bold.
Watch his steps.
So that he may not fall.
Otherwise, may Allah prevent,
the state of Ottoman will fall.
Aren't we all here for that?
There is no past.
We're here today.
And tomorrow is
uncertain, Pasha.
We are here for a
reason, as statesmen.
Only our names change.
Halil one day, Mahmut the other.
However, they are all the same.
Their duty is to keep the
state standing, Pasha.
You've spoken
well, Mahmut Pasha.
You made me happy.
May you prosper.
I, Halil.
Halil of Candarogullari.
Ir, Hahl.
Halil of Candarogullari.
My grandfather Kara Hayreddin Pasha
clashed alongside Hudavendigar Murad Khan.
He went to victories.
My father Ali Pasha helped
Hunkar Yildirim Bayezid.
He walked with him.
I learned from them.
I saw from them.
The name of the state was
whispered to me on the cradle.
My first words
were "the state.”
They said that my time has come.
I was a helper than a
brother to Hunkar Murad.
Without sleep and
rest, we've worked to..
...prosper our state.
We know that there were only
us and the infidels in this world.
And that is the
cause of our w*r.
Attack!
I am the grand
vizier of this state!
My duty is to protect
you, even from yourself!
My Hunkar!
Protect the Hunkar!
No!
However, caution was needed.
I was patient at times.
I spat fire at times.
I did not falter.
I did not give up.
I stood strong.
We did many, together.
We fought many, together.
There were rivers of blood.
Mountains made
from blood and bones.
Those who fell did
not give our name.
We did not give any
names when we fell as well.
We became brothers in this world
and at other side with our companions.
That is why we refrained from
those who broke their oaths.
We held scorpions
when facing them.
We crushed snakes
when encountered.
We may have died, however..
...we lived long enough
to see our enemies die.
You.
Every step I took
was for my state.
I do not regret any of it.
My prayer is that..
...may Hunkar Mehmed Khan
be victorious against his enemies.
May he continue the
strength of Turks for centuries.
Salamun alaikum, gallows.
Alaikum salam.
So you go now, my turk men Bey.
We are now left
without arms and legs.
Farewell, Pasha.
Give me your pardon in Qiamah.
Hangman Agha.
Allow me.
Let me fulfill the
last duty of my state.
Give me your pardon in this
world and qiyamah, Pasha.
My Allah.
My Allah, may
your protect Oghuz.
May you protect my state.
May our state prosper.
May a thousand Candarl
be sacrificed for it's sake.
Come on, Halil.
The time has come.
Stand tall.
Be brave.
We came from Allah,
and we go to Allah.
Bismillah.
I bear witness that there is none
worthy of worship except Allah...
And I bear witness that muhammad[Pbuh]
Is his servant and messenger.
