03x11 - Episode 11

[bunniefuu]

As long as we keep
our heads, we never die!

The red apple is on
the tip of our swords!

-Ya Allah!
-Ya Allah!

Let the gates of hell be open!

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Protect Sultan!

Protect Sultan!

My Sultan, they are holding all
the exits and entrances of the valley.

Dogan Agha! They'll make a move
from the slopes. Take measures.

We shall show effort!
Allah shall show grace!

We will be martyrs or ghazis!

-Ya Allah! Here we go!
-Ya Allah!

For glory and
honor! Allahu akbar!

They are dying one by one.

They can't survive this hell.

We're ready, sir. We
blocked the exits of the valley.

Captives are also ready.

Keep sh**ting arrows
until you k*ll them all, knight!

Make them taste hell! Come on!

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Tell Pedri to let the emperor
know about our victory.

Yes, sir.

You people will make
your Sultan taste hell.

Knight, cover them with oil.

Then burn and send
them to Mehmed.

Come on. Faster.

Yes, sir.

Fire from us. Water
from your friends.

Let's see how
much they love you.

You will be next one, Kurtcu.

I will burn whoever attempts
to burn my brother Kurtcu.

-Knight!
-Run, brothers!

Your majesty.

Tell me the light in your
eyes scream victory.

Not light.

But fire, your majesty.

The fire that burned Mehmed
and his armies at the valley.

Did you k*ll them all?

The hell of fire bales..

...the terror of
exploding gunpowder..

...and our relentless volleys of
arrows has turned everything red.

And they drowned one by one.

So, history is
true again, Yorgo.

Every army that tries passing that
valley is doomed to be destroyed.

Come on, let us welcome
Draven and our heroes.

Kurtcu Agha!

-What happened to you, Agha?
-I think I see my brother!

Kurtcu Agha!

-I also see him, Agha, he is there!
-Sahan!

-Are you alright?
-Thank Allah, I am!

My brother.

Mehmed.

-Sahan!
-Kurtcu brother!

Stay vigilant!

-My Sahan!
-Kurtcu Agha!

Am I dreaming?

Don't turn my joy into sadness.

It is me, my Agha.
Your brother Sahan.

Alive and well.

My beloved!

My Sahan!

Time for revenge, Kurtcu Dogan.

The revenge of
Giovanni Giustiniani!

And who's here?

The lesser blondie has come!

Revenge, Kurtcu! Revenge!

An eye for an eye
and tooth for a tooth!

He is mine!

Archers!

Shields up! Protect the Sultan!

Llyas!

Llyas!

My Sultan! We're stuck here!

They are the ones stuck.

Muhsin!

Make way. Saruca!

Close it up!

We lost the men at the gates.
We need to draw back, sir.

-I won't go anywhere before I k*ll Kurtcu.
-We need to go, sir.

I won't go anywhere
before I k*ll Kurtcu!

If something happens to you, all the knights
will scatter. We need to draw back, sir.

Kurtcu, get up! You're
wounded. Stay back.

-I won't stop before I take revenge
from that dastard! -Kurtcu!

I said stay back! You're wounded! If you
go after him, you'll spoil Sultan's plan.

We took an oath for
brotherhood! Don't break it!

Go back. Sahan, take
care of Kurtcu. Here we go!

Sir, we need to go!

Sir! Come on, sir!

Keep resisting, warriors!

We shall hit! They shall be hit!

Victory for us! Death for them!

-Come on! Ya Allah!
-Ya Allah!

The architect of
the victory is coming.

Open the gate!

And that's what is
left from the army.

Welcome, brave knight.

Now tell us how you
reached the glorious victory.

Speak, Draven.

Your majesty.

I crossed mountains and went
through valleys of death for you.

Trabzon, surrounded by beauty.

Assalamu alaikum, o, shahada.

We are here.

We captured them
all in that pit of hell.

But Mehmed's plan
ruined everything.

We were going to turn that valley into their
grave but they brought mountains down on us.

What is done is done.

It is time to grow our
faith, not the enemy.

And that faith will
be Mehmed's hell.

You understood everything I said, right, Satilmis?
-Don't worry about it my Hunkar.

Good then. There
is no need to wait.

You make sure that the cannons we
brought with the Navy are moved near not ya.

As you order my Hunkar. I should go.
-Go.

My Sultan. As you requested, we
came here before Uzun Hasan, but...

I made the necessary
plan about that.

Don't worry about the Akkoyunlu.

Inspect the positioning of
our army and visit our veterans.

A tough w*r is
coming for everyone.

Zaganos. Kurtcu and
Vlad. What is their situation?

A fox got stuck in a bush.

His hands, face, and
eyes were covered in blood.

He was miserable.
He was asking for help.

And a vulture was
circling above him.

It said, "'the prey is wounded.
It is in my fate to take my share.”

"Let it lose a bit
more strength...

...so I can take my share.”

But a wolf was also hiding
there, waiting for the fox.

The vulture said:

What are you
doing, wolf brother?

Let it die.

So we can take our
share. You know wolves.

He jumped in and saved the fox.

He sewed his wound nicely.

He healed him.

Look at the wolf... doctor wolf.

Just like me.

When mad wolf saved the fox...

...the fox was surprised.

He said: "Wolf, why
did you save me?"

And the wolf said: "Anyone
can hunt a wounded animal.

The real skill is to hunt
it while it is still alive.”

Molla.

Neither you are a
wolf, nor I am a fox.

It is a good story.

A good one.

Once I get up, I
will tell you the...

...actual version of that story.
-You will.

You will tell me.

First, let's save your life.

May it be shifa, my Agha.

Have you done your last duty for
llyas and the other martyrs, Serhat?

We have, my Agha.

We buried them
according to our laws.

May Allah let them be
neighbors of our prophet [pbuh].

Aameen.

May he let us drink
the sherbet of shahada.

Aameen.

What did you do, my Valiant?
Is that how you dress a wound?

I told you to dress it tightly.
The wound will not close this way.

I will come to the guild...

...and teach medicine to
Janissaries. They need to learn.

Alright, Serhat. You go back
and take care of our soldiers.

My Agha. Didn't I tell you that
your brother would save your life..

...and treat your wounds?

You made me really upset, Sahan!

I told him to tighten it up a
bit, I can loosen it if you want.

Who allowed you
to join the Akinjis?

They saw you and sent you back.

And despite that...

... you became their
tail and followed them.

How dare you do that?
-Everyone treated me like dirt!

And my Kurtcu Agha
did that the most!

And I wanted to
do something brave.

So that my Agha
could be proud of me.

Did I do something wrong?

You become a man
and earn respect...

...dy listening to the elders.

You did not listen to me for once,
and you were about to lose your life!

And you made fire
surround our heart.

A man's star of luck
does not always sparkle.

Sometimes you fall
into the darkness...

And no one reaches
their hand to help.

Do not make me suffer the
pain of losing a brother again!

Do not make me
beat my chest again!

Do you understand?

I understand, Agha. If you beat
your chest the way you hit mine...

...I ..Will never
disobey you again!

What is this? My lungs are still not
back in their place. -Get lost!

I am leaving.

Alright my Agha.

Sahan... Sahan...

Faster! Faster! The
enemy won't wait for you!

Come on, come on!

You let Kurtcu slip through your fingers, Draven.
You won't get such a chance again. You know that, right?

I made him taste the
cold face of the death.

Every moment he breathes,

...he will feel the cold.

Are you saying prayers
instead of fighting, priest?

Praying to god is
also a strong shield.

Yet we need hands to swing
swords and sh**t arrows.

You.

Why do you carry
those strong arms?

To wait aside while
your friends fight?

Ha?

And you?

Won't you be a brave woman who
fetches water and food to our soldiers?

You kid?

Why are you afraid?

Perhaps, your
father and brother...

Perhaps, your fathers, brothers,
sons and children will fight to death!

You should fight like them.

Do you know what kind of
hell Turks will create here?

We will all taste the hell.

Most of us may die.

But this city...

...will be saved thanks to
the struggle of the survivors.

This city will be saved thanks
to the struggle of the survivors.

Soldiers!

Cannonballs!

sh**t arrows!

My Hunkar, as you ordered, our
army took the formation of a Crescent.

And we blocked all
the ways to Pontus.

My Hunkar, Janissaries are
deployed in the center of the army.

Volunteers and Azabs have taken place in
front of Janissaries for the first charge.

Food enough for at least two months
has been prepared for the army, my Hunkar.

It won't take two
months, inshaallah.

-Inshaallah.
-Inshaallah.

We will start the attack
without wasting time.

However, we should first send a
messenger and perform the w*r tradition.

We aren't fighting Constantinople
who abode by the w*r tradition.

We're fighting a m*rder*r
who k*lled his own daughter.

He probably won't
respect the traditions.

We shouldn't waste time
by sending a messenger.

Pasha, if we disrespect
the traditions like the enemy,

...we won't be
different from them.

We do what we must do.

However, you are right
about what you said.

The city of vile Komnenos
has been besieged.

He must be seeing red now.

I mean, the messenger
may not come back.

So, the person to go there...

...may be the first
martyr of this attack.

Now you tell me.

Who wants to take...

...this duty of martyrdom?

Thanks to Allah.

My Sultan.

I have joined
many battles for far.

I buried many brave men
who got reaped like crops.

I've always wandered feeling
the breath of death on my back.

However, I just couldn't
become a martyr yet.

With your permission,

...]i want to take this duty
who may lead to martyrdom.

May you prosper, Ali Bey.

Farewell.

We've aimed the cannons at
the place Ottoman army will attack.

Do you know what will happen
if you don't tie this with a chain?

It will lose it's..

...trajectory after firing once.

Tie it with a chain, now.

Knight, tie this with a chain.

-Come on.
-Come on, this way!

Hold.

Coat these cannonballs
with tar and gunpowder.

It must set a Blaze
where its landing.

-Come on, knights!
-As you command.

Ready the boiling
lime at all times.

When Ottoman
soldiers reach the wall..

...they'll see that hell
will be waiting for them.

-Emperor?
-Mehmed has put up camp outside our walls.

How are the preparations going?

Our weapons are stronger than
Mehmed has ever witnessed.

And our knights are more faithful
than Mehmed has ever seen.

What's with the lime? Isn't
boiling oil more effective?

Boiling lime goes
into armor more easily.

And it burns more effectively.
Besides, we need the oil.

Both our soldiers and our people
should not starve during the siege.

You make your
weapons out of nothing.

I knew you were a great warrior.

I ask another
permission from you.

To include the
people into this w*r.

What does that mean?

The clergy is gathering
people into churches to pray.

They are making rites.

A similar mistake was made
in Constantinople as well.

Asking help from god is
another form of defense.

You can do that with a
sword in your hand as well.

Believe me, emperor.
Including the people into this w*r..

...will be the greatest weapon
that will scare our enemies.

Come on, I told you to be quick!
The hearth was about to go out!

Come on, don't
stand around! Pour it!

Salamun alaikum.

Alaikum salam, Akinji
Aghas. How can I help you?

Do you have swords to be forged?

We don't have business with you.

So you took the
iron as an excuse.

-Leave me alone.
-Why are you wasting yourself?

-I have work to do.
-Your work is not to forge that sword..

...but to fight alongside
us with your own sword.

My hand can hold a sword.

And how can I
fight with this leg?

Leave me be.

I am here..

...to aggravate my wounds.

There is no healing
for me anymore.

Look here.

Is this the Kanturali who is
renowned for his skills in foreign lands?

You are..

Is this our brother who
told us to fight until the end?

Kanturali is this! Yes!

Look at me!

What you said was true
when I was not crippled.

I am no longer a Valiant!
No longer a soldier!

-Don't do this, brother.
-Look well!

Valiancy, courage, bravery.

They are not for me anymore.

Go away.

From now on..

...i will forge myself..

...into a new purpose!

I'm trapped in a hopeless
plight. Any help is naught.

Now, go away! Come on!

It won't be long until the
door is broken, be ready.

Come on, valiants! To the gates!

Do not leave the walls!

My brother.

Give me your pardon in qiyamah.

May you as well, brother.

Mehmed's Pasha Ishak is
coming here with a big army.

Let them come.

They will find
lifeless Bayezid..

...and a ruined castle
when they arrive.

We are not here for your personal
revenge but to help Akkuyunlus!

Do not forget who
you are speaking to.

Emperor gave you under
my command. Now, come on.

You are stepping out
of the orders, Suleyman.

Look at me.

The castle is about to fall.
We cannot go anywhere.

Take the castle
alone, if you can.

We are leaving.

Come on. The gate
is broken, let us go in!

-Soldiers! We're falling back!
-To where?

When the black
horse's mane stood up...

The breath of gaza
blew over our heads..

Ask them, where is
the sl*ve of Pontus?

Can his head stand
against Zulfiqar?

Eren.

Why are you standing there? You seem surprised.
-My Bey. The enemy's castle is right there..

And they are
singing a song here.

This is the custom of Akinjis.
It excites them for the conquest.

And it scares the enemies.

If you want to
become an Akinji..

...then you have to learn well, my Valiant.
-Yes my Bey.

Is the path clear, my Bey?

Thanks to Allah.

Whether we return
or become martyrs...

...it will be our
symbol of honor.

Becoming a martyr?

Eren. Karadeniz
tribe's brave child.

His heart beats
like the wild waves.

I was your age when I
took the oath of Akinjis.

To reach the highest rank...

...i spent my life on this way.
-The highest rank?

Aren't you the Bey of Akinjis anyway?
-For us...

...the highest
rank is martyrdom.

That's why we see it
as our symbol of honor.

I want to become an Akinji as well.
But I haven't even taken a step yet.

How am I going
to reach that rank?

How am I going to
reach that highest rank?

If you want to become an
Akinji, you have to be brave first.

You have great bravery
and effort in your heart.

The mother who gave birth to you
should say that she gave birth to a lion.

Thank you my Bey.

My Bey.

Give me your pardon.
-It's yours.

Give me your pardon.

May it be halal to you, my Bey.

Give me your pardon, valiants!
-It's halal to you!

Lala.

My shahzade.

My shahzade.

We tried to rush like winged horses as
soon as we could, but... please forgive me.

You showed great
effort in limited time.

Thank you, Ishak Pasha.

You are fine, thanks to Allah.

-Come with me, Lala.
-My shahzade.

Our Sultan sent a message.

Scouts of Akkoyunlu will
arrive in Koyunhisar at night.

I have to go and stop them.

Let's go then, Lala.

I can't let you go,
my shahzades.

What, Ishak Pasha?
Don't you trust us?

Of course I do, my
shahzade. But it

but it will be a tough
and bloody fight.

I can't put you and
our future in danger.

Without Ishak pashas, what
would the condition of the state?

Let us go. We owe you a life.

Let us go.

Eyvallah, my
shahzades. Eyvallah.

Here we go! Let's do our
final duty for our martyrs!

Come on!

Do you want anything else, sir?

-Is Sultan in his tent?
-As far as I know...

Sit down, sit down.

You're wounded. Sit.

How is your wound,
Vlad? Are you alright?

I'm talking to you, Vlad.

I'm fine, my
Hunkar. Don't worry.

Just a dagger cut.
It's not my first wound.

I will be fine in two days.

What about the
wound in your heart?

Will it be fine too?

I used to say it wouldn't.
But now I say it will.

I'm used to...

...being abandoned.

And not being preferred.

Don't do this, Vlad.
We are brothers.

If you have
heart grief against me,

...don't keep it inside.

Right. We are brothers.

When I was just a little kid,

...when I was sent to
the dungeon of Tokat,

...my brother kept
silent. We are brothers.

Wait.

You know why you went to Tokat.

Don't bring this up again.

Don't you poke your
own wound or mine again.

Your courage shocks me!

You both know why you were
sent to Tokat and dare to do this!

I did everything for my
loyalty, Mahmud Pasha.

You weren't sent to Tokat due to your loyalty but
because you attempted to k*ll shahzade Alaeddin.

Remember, Vlad. Remember!

Didn't you set fire to the school
while the students were inside...

...to k*ll Sultan Murad Khan's favorite Alaeddin
who was Sultan Mehmed Khan's elder brother?

In that school, the most valuable students
for Sultan Murad Khan were being taught.

Each of them was going to
be a branch of the state tree!

You were going to k*ll
maybe a grand vizier,

...maybe a governor
and maybe a Pasha, Vlad.

You were going to
destroy a human treasure.

You were a kid like them too!

How could you k*ll your friends?

You aren't loyal but sick, Vlad.

You're obsessed.

Sultan Murad Khan was
going to k*ll you just there.

But he showed mercy
and sent you to Tokat.

Now you are talking here
as if you were blameless!

I did everything for my brother.

You are telling me this
in a blaming manner..

...however, I am honored to
listen to it, Mahmud Pasha!

Is it honorable to k*ll the brother
of the man whom you call 'brother'?

Or to endanger the
welcoming Sultan's shahzade..

...in his own palace?!

Brotherhood is more
than a word, Pasha!

Brotherhood is
facing death if needed!

It is to be prisoned
for years when needed!

It is to have your
body become frail!

The compass of loyalty and treachery
is has gone wrong in your book, Vlad!

How can you know that?

Have you called anyone
"brother' in your life?

To someone who
is not of your blood?

Did you embrace him?

To us, a brother..

...a father and a
mother is the state!

The same state who
fed you, who raised you..

-...and made you a Voivode!
-The state!

To me, the state only
exists if Mehmed does!

If Mehmed does not, than the
state does not as well, Pasha!

I envy your loyalty to Sultan,
however, it is also very frightening.

I think that you will
not have mercy..

...to those around him if
you start seeing red one day.

I k*lled his brother.

What are you talking
about, Mahmud Pasha!?

I will destroy whoever
gets in between him and me.

And I will not leave my work
unfinished, you know it well.

So, it seems I am the only
one whom you left unfinished.

The treachery you call 'loyalty'
has clouded your mind, Vlad!

And take that as the last advice from
Mahmud Pasha, whom you're about to m*rder.

You do not know
Mehmed, nor Murad.

Candarli was with Sultan Murad..

...and they would
forget and forgive.

However, I am with
Mehmed here! I am!

I do not forget!

You! You stab from the back..

...and leave your
work unfinished.

And I stand in
front of my enemy..

...and stare right
into their eyes..

...to stab him in his heart..

...not from the
back like a coward.

I do not forgive, Vlad!

I choke.

And leave without looking
back. Know that well.

If Mehmed does not
exists, then so will the state.

Do not let him
in! Take his head!

You have come to
the empire of Pontus.

As we are treated when we
stand before your Hunkar...

...you will be treated
the same way.

Therefore, I will keep
you waiting for some time.

Waiting or keeping others
wait do not bother us.

But every breath you
take while I wait here...

...will just shorten your life.

Clear the way!

Alright.

Guards! Take their weapons!

We have never given
our weapons to the enemy.

Abdurrahman.

You stay here. If they make a
treacherous move and attack you...

...fight until your boots are filled and until
your caftans are covered with with their blood.

As you order my Bey.

Come with me.

Do you know that old man?

Yes your majesty. His
name is Evrenosoglu.

As known as Mehmed's Azrael.

Mehmed sends him to the enemy
fortresses before he sends his armies...

...so that he can fill the
hearts of people's with fear.

So? -So...

Do not let him do that, sir.

Your majesty.

Is he here?

I can cut his head off and send it to Mehmed
without letting him see you if you like.

I want to know what he
is going to say. Let him in.

As you order.

Come in!

I am here for the ruler of
the lands and the seas...

The Hakan of the Turks...

The Sultan of muslims,
the ruler of the world...

Fatih Sultan Mehmed
Khan, to announce...

...his orders!

That coat you placed
on the ground...

I know what that is.

It was also placed on the
ground in Belgrade, right?

You suffered
such a defeat that...

...you couldn't even
take that coat back.

Now, if you have something
other than the coat, tell me.

If you don't, leave.

Who will you take
your revenge from?

Komnenos?

Komnenos?

Mehmed left you
alone. Not Komnenos.

For whom? For his Mahmud Pasha.

I think we should drink
Mahmud Pasha's blood.

If you were a bit more brave, we could maybe
drink the blood of a more noble person but...

...never mind.

Mehmed's blood?

You might drown in
that blood, Dracula.

Is that what you think about the
man who let you worship freely...

...and gave you the voivodeship?

In nature...

...there is no right or wrong. There is
the strong and the one who attacks first.

If you think it's too soon to shed
Mehmed's blood, I can understand.

But Mahmud...

Dracula... enough.

He is right.

Mehmed can even sacrifice
his children for his state.

It's normal for him to choose
Mahmud Pasha over me.

Always the same nonsense.

You will see that I am
right but it will be too late.

I believe Mehmed.

He will not leave
us like our father did.

You should also
believe this, Dracula.

The arrow in my hand is
the symbol of an invitation.

So that we can spare your
life and your people's lives.

This is your last
chance to save yourself...

...from the furor of Fatih
Sultan Mehmed Khan.

Sultan Mehmed has come
to our walls with his armies.

And we know he will not return
before he fights and sheds blood.

Why would we accept his request?

For the peace of your people
and the safety of your city!

Does Mehmed want my
people to be in peace?

The same Mehmed who surrounded my
city with his catapults and cannonballs?!

If you were a fair,
a just emperor...

If you have not been
two-faced towards our Hunkar...

...this would not
happen Komnenos.

Stop talking about this.
Say your last word and leave.

Our Hunkar orders David Komnenos
to open the gates of the city for him..

...and become honored with
Islam and kneel before him.

What if I do not accept?

The arrow in your hand...

...will not bring mercy,
it will bring furor.

And it will hit the empire
and the emperor...

...right from the heart.

How much time do I have?

Be quick,and make your decision.

Before our army
beats the w*r drums...

...stand before our Hunkar.

Or else... the head and
the body will be separated.

Tell Mehmed that
I will think about it!

Look at this coat on the
ground very carefully, Komnenos.

This is your lesson.

As it reminds us the Belgrade...

...it must remind you the
Constantinople, Kosovo...

...and Varna.

You will either see this coat as your land
and save your life by taking refuge in it...

...or it will be your shroud.

You will be crushed
under the feet of our horses!

My Sultan. Grand vizier
Mahmud Pasha wants to see you.

Let him in.

My Sultan. -What happened Pasha?

Do you have important news?

Yes my Sultan. About Vlad Tepes.

Same issue again?

What did you see
that I couldn't see?

I saw the dagger stabbing
me from behind, my Sultan.

The one who stabbed
me was Vlad Tepes.

What do you have in your hand
as evidence? How can you say that?

What a person has clone is an
indication of what they will do, my Sultan.

Remember your brother
Alaeddin Ali, my Sultan.

Vlad wanted to k*ll him for you.

He never regretted it.
He still doesn't regret it.

I saw the ruthlessness that would
k*ll everyone for you in his eyes.

Wouldn't what you
said count as betrayal?

Would he betray
despite his loyalty?

My Sultan...

Vlad thinks everything he
does for you is an act of loyalty.

When you scolded him
because of the holy relics...

He found them as if he placed
them there and brought them to me.

Were you aware...

I am aware of everything, Pasha!

Forgive me, but..
Why did you wait then?

He was brought to your
presence for many times.

Have we ever done
anything without evidence?

Why would we do that now?

Then... how will that
happen, my Sultan?

For evidence... we
need to make a plan.

Vlad is a wolf, Pasha.

We cannot wait like
sheep and find evidence.

Invite him to the council.

Let him hear the
plan of our attack.

If he tells Komnenos about it...

...with our actual
attack, the city will fall...

...and his betrayal
will be exposed.

My Sultan... let me make
the plan of our attack that...

...we will carry out
with my experience...

...and let me expose
Vlad's betrayal.

It is not going to be easy to
handle this betrayal issue...

...on the b*ttlefield, Pasha.

Will you be able to do it?

Evelallah my Hunkar.

Then the burden and the
responsibility are yours. Know that.

Go now.

We will drag Vlad
to the table of wolves.

Come on valiants! Our
Hunkar expects us to finish this!

Come on! Come on my lion!

Come on! Come on my lion!

Yes, like that. Here we go.

Satilmis Agha.

Why do they call this drag?

Is this what bothers
your mind, Sahan?

We drag the soil outside with
this. Like they say, you know...

Dragged out meaning
tired, you know. That's why.

-You understand?
-I understand.

Forget about this now.

Tell me again. Who told you about the
shortcut leading to the castle tunnels?

It drew your attention, huh?

-My friends of disaster on my days of captivity.
-Move, move.

I was saying something.

-What was I saying?
-Captivity.

My friends of disaster
on my days of captivity.

My doomed friends.
My friends in dungeon.

They must be moles, huh?

Thieves.

-Oh Sahan...
-Whatever. Come on.

Alright. I keep quiet.

Welcome, Ali Bey.

I was worried about you, but...

...you came back alive.

Inshaallah, you have good news.

I told Komnenos about
your terms one by one.

He asked for time to consider.

Did you manage to observe
the preparations in Pontus?

We're under strict
measures, my Sultan.

As far as I could see, the whole
city was devoted to defense.

It seems it will
be a tough fight.

My Sultan, it's Akkoyunlu
support that encourages them.

They will keep resisting
until they get the support.

That's why Komnenos
asked for more time.

He intends to stall us until
they get support from Akkoyunlu.

However, we don't have
any time to give the enemy.

As he didn't embrace
the honor of Islam,

...he will be treated
according to the Islam law.

And when Suleyman wanted to..

-...follow his ambitions..
-What do you mean 'his ambitions" Yorgo?!

What do you mean?!

Where are they now?

How can you try to
use the whole army..

...for your personal
revenge, Suleyman?

Emperor, if they
followed my commands..

...we could've had
Mehmed's both shahzades.

-And that would be more than enough..
-Enough!

I gave you enough chances!
You've failed every time!

Your majesty, when shahzade
Suleyman went outside your orders..

-...we had to fall back.
-We lost both of them because of you!

Even the gate was broken!

-Do not forget that Ishak's army was coming!
-Enough!

Our only hope is Akkoyunlus.

I hope they will succeed.

My shahzades. Are you alright?

-We're alright, Lala. How about you?
-I'm alright.

Thank Allah, we've
ruined Komnenos' plans..

...with Uzun Hasan's plans.

Now, we need to get on the
road and let our Sultan know.

Come on! Come on!

Are the preparations made
for the plan, Mahmud Pasha?

Yes, my Hunkar.

My Hunkar, the three
walls that protect Pontus..

...and six gates
have been checked.

We also got necessary
information from our spies.

The strongest ones..

.Are Pili Esoteriki
and Pili Oksidentaris.

The thick walls.

It seems you wish to
attack to the other wall.

Yes, my Hunkar. And the
most viable wall to attack is..

....the Notia walls.

And how is that one different?

My Sultan, Pyxites river runs..

...in front of Notia
walls. And the river bed..

...goes near the walls.

That is why, you say that..

.It is weaker beneath
walls as it is wet.

-Yes, my Sultan.
-And what do you say, Sahabeddin?

Mahmud Pasha knows the area
better than any of us, my Hunkar.

He has done
preparations as well.

We need to follow
his plans, my Hunkar.

Bahadir Pasha.

Mahmud Pasha's
plan is impeccable.

However, the infidels
are unpredictable.

It is your call, my Sultan.

Lala.

I agree with Bahadir
Pasha, my Sultan.

First, we need to prepare.

Then attack.

You are the only one who entered
and left Pontus alive the last.

Vlad.

What do you say about this plan?

Mahmud Pasha is
dreadfully wrong, my Sultan.

How so?

Pontus has already
dried up the river.

And they repaired Notia
walls. It is now quite strong.

A whole river is not a
well to be dried, Vlad.

My Hunkar. I am
telling what I saw.

In that case, the whole army to a certain death...
-There is a lot of uncertainty.

The questions we have in our minds
must be answered. You also stated that...

...the last person who
saw the region was Vlad.

We cannot ignore his
words. That's why...

...i think we should attack
after practicing enough.

I trust my deputy, my
grand vizier Mahmud Pasha.

The order will be
established based on his plan.

This case is closed.

Attention! Ya hu!

Assalamu alaikum.

Ve alaikum salaam ve
rahmatullahu ve berakatuhu.

You may sit.

Salaam to those who set out on the way for
the glorification of the word of Allah...

May our conversation be long, our
nights magnificent, and our lives blessed.

Aameen.

To those who leave their wives, friends, and loved
ones for the sake of jihad, may your time be blessed.

Aameen.

Let's say hu, Erens.

Come in.

You called me.

Come, sit down.

That's barnabas.

I heard that it was burnt
in the snake castle.

Yes... barnabas.

And this will be
our little secret.

Understood?

The b*ttlefield is the
first Mark of bravery.

The final Mark is reached only by cleaning
yourself from bad intentions coming from the nafs.

w*r does not bring you peace...

...unless you step into the
field with the name of god.

If you stray from the
path of god's unity...

...prophets will certainly be
sent to show you the right way.

That prophet who will be sent is equipped with
the spirit of understanding and consultation...

...the spirit of
wisdom and power...

...the spirit of
fear and love...

...and the spirit of
reason and moderation.

He is many times more merciful and patient
than the prophets who came before him.

God's light will be perfected on
earth only under his protection.

Do not forget that...

...without the beloved servant of Allah,
without Hadhrat Muhammad Emin Mustafa...

...peace be upon him...

...everything is
lacking and incomplete.

The beginning, the end...

...and the direction of the matter is our
Sultan of prophets, our dear prophet [pbuh].

His trace must be in
every particle of our lives...

...both in life and in death.

He first conquered hearts,
and then conquered cities.

He approached hearts, castles,
and cities with light and affection.

Let's not forget that
we are his ummah.

Whatever intention we walk with, the scent of
that intention reaches all the way to the throne.

O, the blessed time when
Muhammad will come to the world.

Believe me...

Since those who saw his
soul are given the prophecy...

...I, like every prophet,
also saw him and...

...respected him.

When I saw him, my
soul was filled with relief...

...and I said: "O
Muhammad. O Muhammad.

O Muhammad.

May god be with you.

And may he make me your helper.

By achieving this; I, too,
will be a great prophet...

...and a holy servant of god.

And Jesus...

...said this and thanked god.

Enough!

I heard enough!

Close that book!

Look...

No one will hear this.

No one will hear this!
Do you understand?

Today, you are going
to w*r physically.

But spiritually, you are going
to unlock the lock of your heart.

And know that...

...you are going there to expand the shadow of the sanjak
of praise belonging to the Sultan of prophets [pbuh].

By Allah's grace,
thanks to you..

...and through the strength of our
swords, we have succeeded, my Sultan.

My Mustafa.

I sent you to
Amasya to stay there.

To learn to rule.

Why did you get into the w*r?

I allowed him..

I am asking you,
Mustafa. Answer now.

My brother said no.

However, I insisted.

Go.

What about you? Were you
able to protect your brother?

Did you look after him?

I allowed him to enter
the battle, my Sultan.

Why is that? Did you lack
soldiers, commanders?

It would not befit the son of
Sultan Mehmed to stand back.

Our way is the
way of our father.

We only did what
we learned from him.

They say a son is
the secret of a father.

We see everything
that lies in our hearts..

...in our sons.

-Thank Allah.
-Thank Allah.

Seeing such successors
will take the torch after us.

A Sultan cannot
wish for a better state.

A father cannot wish
for a better prosperity.

Especially with
pashas like you..

...a state cannot wish
for a better treasure.

We take every vocation we have..

-...from your strength, my Sultan.
-Alright.

However, as Mahmud
Pasha knows, Uzun Hasan..

...will not stand beneath
what has been done.

Yes, my Sultan. He
will attack with twice..

...of each solider he lost.

From now on, Uzun Hasan
will choose his own path.

Dursun Bey.

Write our noble
decree to Uzun Hasan.

Aren't you too
old to drink milk?

Goat milk.

It's alright.

Mahmud Pasha sent
it. Would you like some?

Would you like some?

He was our childhood.

-I will miss him.
-Do not speak!

Write what I say.

Sword sheath.

'Respected emperor Komnenos.'

'i am the real successor
of house Dracula..'

'..the real protector of..'

'..order of the
dragon, Vlad Tepes.'

'I've decided to conclude
my business with you.'

you know that you are
about to betray Mehmed, right?

-There is no turning back from this.
-Not Mehmed.

He is our brother. It will
be to Mahmud Pasha.

Sultan Mehmed will see that..

...Mahmud Pasha is a useless
man. He will experience it..

...in a very harsh manner.

However, no more will be done.

Suits me.

'Mehmed will aim for inside
the city walls with his cannons.'

'then, Mahmud Pasha..'

"..will attack Notia walls
with all of his power.'

-Notia?
-Notia.

'Vlad Tepes Dracula.'

Dracula.

'While our swords are
drawn towards the infidels..'

'..do not draw your
swords towards us.'

'as if our swords clash..'

'..both of them will be doomed.'

'however, if they
support each other..'

'..both of them
will be sharper.'

'if you intention is
to clash with us..'

'..know that two swords
cannot fit into a sheath..'

'..and two rulers can
not fit into a world.'

Mark it with my seal and
send it to Uzun Hasan at once.

Do you think he will stay away?

We've said what
needs to be said.

After that, Uzun Hasan
will either take heed..

..Or he will be an
example for all..

...like our other enemies.

My Pasha.

So, our infamous
Balyemez Cannon.

-Is it ready?
-Yes, my Pasha.

Mash Allah to it.

Our Hunkar had it
made just for this siege.

-However, it will be useful, inshaallah.
-Alright.

Balyemez cannons will not be
fired the same time as Shahi, alright?

Why is that, my Pasha?

-Are Janissaries in their place, Atmaca?
-Yes, my Pasha.

What about the towers?

My Pasha, we put
delis in the first floor..

...fire archers in the middle..

...little bear and cannons will be put
on the top, as you've commanded.

However, you know that the
enemy will use Greek fire to stop us.

That is why put camel
hides on top of these as well.

As you command, my Pasha.

My Pasha, Saruca.

-Is everything ready, Ishak Pasha?
-We await your command.

Saruca, do not forget.
First, Shahi will be fired..

...and then smaller cannons.

Wallachian soldiers will
attack with volunteers as well.

However, Pasha, why don't
experienced soldiers attack first?

-Come on, faster!
-As you command, my Pasha.

Be quick!

Saruca, why is Mahmud
Pasha making such a plan?

He told me not to fire with the
culverins and cannons at the same time.

I don't know what he intends.

Oh really?

Why is that?

Come on, pull them up!

You think your life will be
spared when you bow to Mehmed?

It's better than
fighting him and dying!

We should choose Mohammad's
religion and stay alive.

You think you can live after you sell
your honor and religion against Turks?

-They will behead all of us!
-Enough!

Mehmed and his army are at
our gate with all their strength.

Remember. Not those who turn against each
other but those stand united can win the w*r!

How can we stand united with
those who betray Christ's religion?

If we want our children to live, we
should do whatever Mehmed says.

-No!
-Nobody will give up on their religion!

-Not in this world!
-We don't accept this!

It seems we can't find the
unity we expect, your majesty.

We don't need anyone.
We have soldiers. See?

-From Vlad.
-Vlad?

He tells all the details
of Mehmed's plan.

Why did he do that?

Your majesty,
we can't trust him.

Should we trust those?

-Selamun aleykum.
-Aleykum selam.

-Are mortars ready?
-Yes, my Pasha.

Good.

Come on then.
Let's say bismillah.

Pardon my curiosity, my Pasha.

There aren't any food and weapon
stores or knights where we will sh**t.

-Why are we sh**ting that spot?
-It's Mahmud Pasha's plan.

With the Cannon shots,

...we will both trigger the
chaos among heathens...

...and make them transfer
soldiers to empty fields.

So we can both spread
fear in their hearts...

...and divide their forces.

Here we go.

Give it to me.

Ya Allah.

Bismillah.

Second Cannon! Fire!

Fourth Cannon! Fire!

Reload!

Vlad was right.

The first step of Mehmed's
plan was the mortars.

Come on! Get on Notia walls now.

Today, the enemy is a rock
and we are thunderbolts!

Today, the enemy is a
rabbit and we are wolves!

Today, they are in fear and
we are the picture of bravery!

-Saruca.
-My Hunkar.

-Are all the cannons ready?
-Yes, my Hunkar.

After the attack of our army, the
sh**ting will start with your call.

-Do you remember the battle of Constantinople.
-I can never forget, my Hunkar.

Thanks to your
ability of geometry,

...we destroyed so-called
indestructible walls.

Estaghfirullah, my Hunkar.

Ability and victory
belong to you.

We just try to lighten
the burden on your back.

Now it's time for Notia walls.

What a beast!

It's time to meet Pontus.

Bismillah.

Jesus Christ.

I've always lived
as a true Christian.

To serve you and
god, I did my best.

However,

...I now believe in the last prophet
that you also believed in and heralded...

...prophet Mohammad [pbuh].

From now on,

...I ..Will live to serve
him and his religion.

-Is it ready?
-Yes.

Good.

Keep working, come
on! Don't give up!

These cannonballs aren't
enough! Bring more! Come on!

Keep working! Keep
your eyes wide open!

Do not leave your positions
before dying no matter what!

Come on! Faster!
Take your positions!

Come on!

The scouts to bring death to
the enemy are ready, my Pasha.

Good. Good.

Are we waiting for the
call to attack, my Pasha?

We're waiting for
our Sultan, Atmaca.

You are the scouts...

...who will perform the first
attack with the volunteers!

What is this, grand vizier
Pasha? I don't understand.

What don't you
like this time, Vlad?

You placed my troop on the
front line without my knowledge.

This is a b*ttlefield, Vlad.

I'm the grand vizier and the
commander. I have full authority here.

Should I have taken permission
from you about a small troop?

Not at all.

Small but an effective troop.

Did you have another plan?

I only answer to god
and Sultan Mehmed.

May god make us victorious.

Soldiers of Walachia!

Soldier of Walachia!

-Come on!
-Everyone get to the gate of Notia!

Come on, come on. Faster!
Everybody get to the gate of Notia!

-Move!
-Faster!

Hurry up! Come on!

Come on, come on! Move! Faster!

What's the news, Pedri?

Knights and the most of the cannons
have reached the gate of Notia, sir.

The rest are going now.

Good. If we manage to
repel the Ottoman army there,

...Akkoyunlu will
arrive in time. Come on.

-We have a city to defend.
-Your excellency.

I know Vlad sent useful
information to us before.

And he was never wrong.
But if he is wrong this time,

...Pontus will be
a graveyard for us.

So some of the knights
should stay here.

I gave you many chances, Draven.

And what did you do? You
failed over and over again.

Do you want me to trust
you instead of Vlad now?

Only one thing helps you
live in the art of w*r, emperor.

Measure.

This is my city. My
plans will be carried out.

Now act like a true knight.

Or move aside.

Come on, lions of Allah!

I completely believe
in you and victory!

With Allah's permission,

...Pontus will have
fallen by the sunset!

-Inshaallah.
-Inshaallah.

Aameen!

My Allah! Don't make this
army lose against the heathens.

Aameen!

My Allah, let these sanjaks of
Islam wave from the east to the west!

Aameen!

My Allah! Make your servant
Mehmed and his army victorious always!

Aameen!

-Aameen!
-Aameen!

Play the drums of
charge, commander!

So the hearts of heathens
shall be shaken with each hit!

Allah Allah!

Mehter band, stand upright!

Time for joy and bliss!

The head of Mehter!

Hey! Hey!

Jaleel'Ul Jabbar, Muinus
Sattar, Haliqul Layli wan Nahar,

la-yezal [endless, eternal],
Zu'l-Celal [the glorious],

Allah is one! For
the oneness of time,

for our prophet Rasul-u Kibriya,
Ahmed-I Mahmud-u Muhammed Mustafa!

For the souls of our
Rasulullah's [pbuh] Family,

for the health and
peace of all Islam,

for the eternal existence
and continuation of our state,

for the ongoing
victory of our armies,

the three, the seven, the forty, those who
passed away, for breaths to be taken and fate,

-let's say "hu!"
_"hu!"

Give it here.

Then, fire the cannons.

May they reach our enemies.

May Allah grants us strength.

Allahu akbar! May
our army be victorious!

Help your friend! Help!

Do not surrender! Everyone
to the walls, come on!

-To the walls!
-Come on, get up!

-To the walls!
-Get up!

Get up!

Yorgo?

You seem light headed. Is
there anything I should know?

Come on, be quick!

To the walls! Faster!

Get up!

We're attacking them towards
their strongest walls, my Hunkar.

Notia.

Don't you have any hope, Vlad?

There is hope, as
long as you're here.

However..

..Mahmud Pasha's
plan was faulty.

You're correct.

The plan was imperfect.

However, there is right..

...in every wrong.

We have a traitor
among us, Vlad.

That infidel knew all my plans..

...and sent them all to Komnenos.

However, there is something..

...that Komnenos doesn't know.

My mighty Akinjis..

...are waiting at
Oksidentaris walls.

Satilmis Agha has dug tunnels
towards Oksidentaris walls.

He will explode the
tunnel and the walls.

Come on, valiants of Allah!

There is no standing back now!

For the might of the turk
and the grace of Islam!

Attack!

Will you tell me
who the traitor is..

...or should I say it instead?
