[MEHMED: SULTAN OF CONQUESTS]
[End of 626 near Medina]
-Peace be upon you. -And peace be upon you.
Aren't you ready yet?
We've got this stuck in this rock.
Is there any news about infidels?
They are several days away.
They will be here soon.
We must hurry, Abu Ayyub.
Everyone in the city is worried.
The Messenger of God is coming!
Messenger of God!
O Muslims!
Don't be discouraged!
The Messenger of God has given good news in the trench a little while ago.
I swear to God who sent him and the holy book...
I believe in what he says.
My brothers, the Messenger of God said...
He said: "From Kisra's palace in Medan to Yemen and Damascus,"
"Every land will belong to the believers!"
-God is great! -God is great!
Then he announced another message.
May today, maybe centuries later...
The good news of our Prophet is:
Constantinople will be conquered!
How beautiful is the commander who conquered it,
What a blessed army that army is!
Abu Ayyub! Who is that commander?
God knows.
We are ready, sir.
Shall we begin the attack, sir?
Wait.
Saruca.
What is this now?
This is the new magic of our young Sultan.
We have other guests too.
Orhan didn't come alone.
There are Byzantine knights in the front rows.
Our scouts didn't tell us this, my sultan.
Science is never wrong, Candarli.
Judging by the equipment, these are the emperor's Vareg guards.
Shahab ad-Din.
Pull back the raiders.
Janissaries will be in the front.
Sir, we get the raiders to meet the rebels.
If we only had rebels, it would have been true.
They are an organized unit.
Only the Janissaries could fight.
-What about Zagnos, sir? -Nothing has changed.
He'll move when he gets the signal.
Candarli, come with me.
Hold it tight, that'll keep you alive.
Where are the Crazy's?
They won't come unless their name is told.
Crazy's!
What is he doing?
Too bad for you, Candarli.
You become the today of a child who calls him self Sultan.
Being a Vizier to the Ottomans is not like being a wand to Byzantium, Orhan.
We know who you came here with.
Powerful Vizier!
This boy cannot be a Sultan.
I have come to take what's mine.
And you know this, too.
But let's follow the rules.
Tell me your terms.
There isn't...
any.
You will resort to the justice of Sultan Mehmed Han.
You'll kiss his hand, and consent his judgement.
When I give up, you know exactly how I will die on the gallows.
No one dies without my will in the Ottoman Empire, Orhan.
Your father said the same thing to my father.
Kasim Celebi did not trust my dad,
rather, his own ambition.
But we both know his fate.
So let what you know be an example to you.
And not what you know, to you, Candarli.
That Mehmed you hide behind, will be your end one day.
Brave knights of the invasion!
My heroic army!
Those who couldn't Stop us with the Crusades...
They are trying to stop us with an enemy of ours and our blood.
With Orhan, who is colluding with the infidels!
As we seek to elevate the word of God in order to achieve world order,
They want to hit us with the hands of our relatives.
My brothers!
Do not be complacent because the enemy is like us!
The hypocrite is worse than the infidel!
Traitors are more villainous than the enemy!
The talk is over now!
Today is a day of effort.
Today is a diet day!
Today is a martyrdom day!
May your conquest be blessed!
-God is great! -God is great!
Archers!
Attack!
Allah is the greatest!
Shahab ad-Din.
Now!
Let's go.
It's battle time, Pasha!
Draw your sword!
O Allah!
Allah is the greatest!
From here! Come on, hurry up!
Byzantine ship.
You are wounded, sir.
It's a small scratch, it's not important.
The wounds of the sword are severe.
The soldiers must not see it, it.
There's a Greek village behind us, I know a Doctor, let him examine it.
Oh guide.
Oh God, oh Muhammad, oh Ali.
It's over, Mr. Dogan.
Dogan. I remember his first day at the Janissary Corps.
Now I bury him with my hands.
It is a battle that leads to martyrdom, sir.
Everything happened because of that Shahab ad-Din!
Don't think about it, don't bother yourself.
This has it's future.
Sultan put us in the front for a reason, Pasha.
Don't hide this from me.
You...
-You couldn't do it, right? -Not this time.
I told you it's not the right time.
I can't go back to Constantinople anymore.
But I'll hold them accountable.
Don't worry, we'll go back to Morea together.
When the time is right, you'll be the Ottoman Emperor.
And I'll be the Byzantine Emperor.
Captain!
Crew! Sails!
Here.
-Let's be careful. -I'll wait.
Is Tatios here?
-Mr. Zagnos? -Our Sultan has a wound, Tatios.
Pardon my astonishment, sir. Please, come in.
[HUNGARIAN PALACE]
Does the little king know the facts?
Surely he would know eventually.
But when he does, I would have been a king long time ago.
No one would forgive the leader who betrays his father.
This isn't important.
I don't think he'll live long anyway.
Don't be delirious, János. It's still too early for it.
Or does the Vatican not trust me?
We're at the same side right now, but the issue does not concern us.
Who is it concerns, then?
What happened in Varna is still very recent.
No one thinks we can defeat the Turks.
The English and even the French, as well.
The English and French are all cowards.
Do you think I'll ignore Turk's occupation because of their cowardice?
No.
But you have to prove yourself to Papacy first.
How so?
Even though you were defeated in Varna, you have an army.
If the Orthodoxy emirate accepts fighting with you...
The Vatican will convince other Christians.
So, our only cure is Serbs.
Serbs or Vlad? It doesn't matter.
Time passes quickly János, hurry up.
The cut is deeper than I thought.
Your hand is shaking, Tatios.
My good old famous doctor days are long gone.
I'm getting old.
My hands will tremble, and my eyes will not see.
It must be sterilized.
Daughter, Eleni.
Take a look at the wound.
-I didn't know you had a daughter, Tatios. -Eleni is not my real daughter.
But she is no different than the one I lost.
Does she know these things?
She is better than most of the doctors. Herbs speaks when they see her.
Nice.
It's irritated under the armor. If we don't clean it, it'll collect pus.
What is that?
I read it in my father Tatios' library,
in a book by a Muslim doctor named Akshamseddin.
It's called "Madda-tul Hayat".
It says that sickness are caused by small germs we can't see.
I want to cleanse those germs with vinegar.
Hold on, sir.
Did it hurt you?
No.
Just a little.
Thanks.
I'd appreciate it if it didn't leave this room.
Your command, sir.
There is no reward for serving our Sultan, Pasha.
Give this gift for those who need it, please.
[BURSA]
Don't cry, my dear Ahmed.
Look, your father is working, don't disturb him.
Leave my son alone, Halime Hatun.
He's a baby.
Sometimes he cries and sometimes laughs.
So as not to disturb your concentration.
He wouldn't, on the contrary, he'll inspire me.
Listen.
Children are the nectar of the hearts of parents.
A good son removes trouble.
"Who is the son?"
"If the father had a cane field..."
"The place where it is found is in his spaciousness nursery."
It's nice, is it for my Ahmed?
For Ahmed.
And for the late...
Aladdin.
But I haven't been able to finish it yet.
It needs another verse.
Come in.
Sir, messenger came.
Sultan Mehmed Khan defeated Orhan in the Yenice.
The rebellion was suppressed.
May God perpetuate the sword of our Sultan always sharp, God willing.
Hopefully.
"Who is the son?"
"If he were to take prayers..."
"He is the pride of his country."
My Mehmed succeeded in a great matter, Karaca.
And sir, you said, when we get a letter from Huma Hatun, get me.
"Sir, my bliss."
"And my two eyes, my Murad Han."
"While you are in contemplation in Bursa..."
"Since I knew that your health is nice..."
"I feel healed, too."
"And I understood that my illness is your sadness."
"And my time is your happiness."
[EDIRNE]
Your resistance to the rebellion made your father proud, my lion.
Only thing my father cares about is you, mom.
And I got you.
If he didn't believe that the doctors here had cured my illness...
You know he won't keep me here.
Stop bragging.
However, let's keep us between that you are cured, okay?
While we talk about cures...
-Show me your wound to see. -Just a small wound, not important.
I didn't know that Zagnos had skills like this.
His hands are too rough for fine work.
The threads are ingeniously embroidered.
Who is this skilled lady?
Her name is Eleni.
Since she had you smiled...
She didn't just treat your wound.
Thank God.
My conversation with my mom made me happy. I'll definitely smile.
Door!
[SERBIA]
Finally, the Turks expelled you, Princess Mara.
I stayed with them for 20 years. I've never seen them betray on a friend.
I haven't heard of it.
Your husband left his throne to a child and run away.
And you are here because you are scared of him, right?
Here is a question, Brankovic.
Why do you think I don't cut your,
beautiful daughter's neck and shed her royal blood looking at your eyes?
Because, I won't let anyone who has loyal to me before,
get harmed.
That's why...
There is no need to fear my army positioned at your door...
Or from me.
Fighting with Ottoman Empire was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
And I paid for it alone.
I won't do it again.
You won't be alone this time.
But don't rush your decision.
But when I come next time...
Know that I won't be this friendly.
Sultan Mehmed Han has news for you, János.
If I let you out of here, it's because of the mercy of the Sultan.
Sultan Mehmed Han says:
If you turn back quickly, your innocent people won't pay the price.
This is his final warning to you.
Tell your Sultan...
Our Sultan won't listen to a devil.
He knows what you do and who you meet.
I hope you insist on your mistake so that I can see your head cut off.
[EDIRNE]
Give it to me. Thank you.
Will the artisans be inspected?
Yes.
What an progress junkie.
He really likes new weapons.
He's so excited.
He talks about the Hungarian.
You talk about youth...
But it's hard to see what he'll do.
What is he thinking?
He left Orhan's family.
I think he wants to go to Hungary with powerful cannons.
Doesn't this scare you, Pasha?
He thinks that...
He can achieve anything with new weapons.
No.
No need to worry.
I control him.
You say that, but...
This is not the same man whose mother left you years ago.
His strength is increasing day after day.
Strength...
It is custom and tradition.
It's information.
Strength...
Strength isn't being able to put a lens on a stick and seeing 100 meters ahead.
It is being where you are not...
And knowing what will happen 100 years ago, Isaac.
And Mehmed will see that.
Okay then, Pasha.
Ready!
Hazrat Sultan Mehmed Han!
Will we succeed this time? Tell me.
The drawings are done.
If we can't control the mine, it'll work my Sultan.
Why is it not homogeneous?
Because we make it from forged iron, my lord.
Except for the barrel, we could only use a linen clamp.
Is there no other mine?
Does it have to be iron?
To be easy and light, sir.
So they say so.
I said that so it will be transported easy to the battlefield.
It does not matter how light the ball is when it cracks during the shot.
Why not try bronze?
Isn't it easier to pour?
It cost four times more, sir.
But it's benefit will be forty. Do it bronze.
We tried it already, sir.
Their openings swell at the first shot.
That isn't caused by the bronze.
It is related gunpowder.
But these cannons are small.
The destructive power needs to increase at least fivefold.
That's not possible, sir.
Why?
It hasn't been done before, sir.
No one could do it.
Except one man, from Hungary...
An infidel man.
I heard that...
He did it with a texture he discovered.
If the infidel can do it, we will succeed, too.
"Knowledge is the lost property of the believer, not of the infidel."
The Messenger of God.
Of course, sir.
I talked about possibilities.
Let it be strong.
Empowerment comes with faith.
[CONSTANTINOPLE]
I was sure that...
Orhan will succeed.
I warned you, Your Excellency.
At the throne...
While there is a young sultan...
We had no choice but to try.
Thanks to you, that young Sultan...
He earned a reputation he couldn't have earned in 10 years.
Congratulations, Your Excellency.
I heard that Orhan has escaped.
Your brother Constantinos...
He saved himself from death at the last minute.
-He is in Mora. -Mora?
I wanted to tell it's bad, but...
I know that...
My mom Helena gave him this courage.
I wish courage and talent could be given to everyone, Your Excellency.
I wanted to see him...
on the Byzantine throne.
This isn't important, Your Excellency.
My only fear...
How much more daring the Turks can be.
Forget the Turks now.
Come here.
Do you want...
A recommendation?
My mother.
Helena.
Don't trust her.
I'm aware that...
Both want Constantinos on the throne...
After I'm gone.
And I...
I won't let you do it.
I won't!
No one can predict what your younger brother Demetrius can do.
Do you think...
Someone's this unstable taking the throne...
Let that...
Emperor think about it.
Notaras.
Not you.
[MORA PENINSULA]
You know what I wonder?
Was it worth the risk for a Turk?
Hunting rabbits again?
Actually, we haven't seen you do another thing yet, little brother.
Calm down, calm down!
Calm down.
I'm a hunter who makes his dogs listen, brother.
You're hunted again, right?
Don't meddle where you have no business, Demetrius.
Not because of that...
Rather, I speak for my right to the throne.
Constantinos.
You'll never be Emperor of the Byzantines.
Prince.
You honored us by coming.
Let them take you to your room, you must be tired.
While the Ottoman derives its strength comes from unity...
The heirs of our throne can't evens talk.
Are we going to unite with an Ottoman prince, mom?
Our empire's survival depends to making Orhan a Sultan.
His sitting on the throne in Edirne...
will divide Ottoman. Get this.
Well, and get this, mom.
The dogs of our enemies make us prey, not hunters.
Emperor will decide this when the time comes.
Don't worry.
When I become emperor, I'll make you all pay.
[EDIRNE]
Viceroy of the Hungarian Empire János is right here.
In the south of Budin Castle.
But he is not sitting still.
He is silent.
What is its purpose?
According to our spies' information...
He works with the Vatican.
I think he wants to make an alliance.
If we act immediately and go to Hungary...
We'll attack them before a new Catholic unit is created, sir.
After the defeat at Varna, it'll took years for a alliance to be forged.
Let him try.
Aside from Catholics, there are Albanians and Macedonians, sir.
Bogomils, Armenians and the Orthodox...
The sectarian divide deepens every day.
It is difficult for them to unite.
The infidels...
only care about profit.
We've seen that many times, right?
We saw what happened when they allied.
Yes.
But we can't be sure.
The Serbs alone are enough for János to mobilize.
I took the precautions.
Don't worry, Ishak Pasha.
Without a doubt...
Of course, sir.
But...
This is the most appropriate time to attack Hungary.
The timing is right.
And attack, too.
But the direction is wrong, Pasha.
As we move to the West...
They stab us in the back.
Is that so?
We saw that in the Orhan rebellion.
They wanted me to stop with someone of my blood.
They might come again, is that possible?
Yes, it is.
Why?
Because there are Byzantines who live like a disease inside Ottoman lands.
The obstacle that I thing there is...
It is here.
If we want to become Ottoman Empire to become stronger...
We must go here.
The city heralded by the Messenger of God.
Our ultimate goal.
Constantinople.
We have seen from bitter experience that this is impossible.
Humanity could not muster an army to breach these walls.
I will create such an army that...
That old city, would have never seen such one!
History tells us many things.
Everyone from Avar Khans to Ottoman warriors tried.
32 times.
All these states and warriors could not break down those walls, why?
Because there was no cannon to destroy those walls.
Moreover, this siege will ruin our budget.
-Pasha! -All these soldiers, equipment, and fleet.
May God protect us, we won't overcome it.
-Pasha! -And there is Janissaries.
-Pasha! -Soldier wants to go to Hungary.
Furthermore...
Even your great father Sultan Murad Han...
who stopped Crusades, couldn't do it.
-No. -Enough!
I am Sultan Mehmed, not Sultan Murad, Pasha!
Don't confuse me with my dad.
Because I don't walk with those were persuaded...
I walk with believers.
I want to conquest Constantinople because it is an obstacle to me.
Do not hinder me, Pasha!
I have no other goal but to fulfill God's prophets word.
I'll be that glory commander.
My soldier will be those soldiers.
Treasurer.
Yes, sir.
Gather your writers and work detailed.
Let's see what Constantinople will cost.
Yes, sir.
I sensed your change.
I did, but...
I didn't except this much, Pasha.
The blind has opened his eyes.
If we broke his staff before...
All this because of Shahab ad-Din and Zagnos.
They influenced Sultan with their toxic thoughts.
You still don't know him.
Do you think he'll listen to them, while he doesn't listen to me?
You say so?
You say this, but...
What about ​​Constantinople?
How did it become the topic, while we await for Hungary?
He grew up on me.
I raised him.
He thinks that the conquest of Constantinople is a nice dream.
But he doesn't know that it is nothing more than a nightmare.
Oh, great Sultan Murad!
Who did you left us, come and see.
[BURSA]
Come in.
Daughter.
Get this to Karaca Bey.
He'll take this to Huma Hatun.
Yes, sir.
Come on, you can leave, boys.
Don't be late for the lesson.
Let's go.
Well done.
Well done, boys.
Children are happy.
Tell me, Zagnos.
Who made my son's face laugh?
On the way back, we stopped by a village to have his wound treated.
A lady there who assisted the doctor.
She's clearly a clever girl.
You know best, my Sultan.
Did she do something that didn't please you?
Of course not!
On the contrary...
She was a polite girl enough to refuse...
a pouch a gold that we gave her.
But...
After all, she's from a lineage that isn't good for our Sultan.
She is just a doctor's assistant bought as a slave.
We too originally was a slave.
What are you trying to say, Zagnos?
Forgive me, Sultan. I've crossed my limit.
That's not what I wanted to say.
Tell me.
In which village does this doctor live?
"My soul, my happiness."
"My paradise, Huma Hatun."
"Even if doctors find a cure for my health..."
"The cure for your absence is your beautiful face."
"And the healing of my heart is in your heart."
I've heard my lion's Mehmet Han's courage like the whole world.
What are you waiting for to come to Bursa as soon as possible, to heal my soul?
He invites Huma to here.
Enough of being ignored!
What did you do, my Sultan?!
What will you say to Murad Han now?
While Huma reigns at Hasbahce...
I shared his concerns.
While he was mourning for Aladdin...
I was the one beside him, me!
Get out.
Get out!
[EDIRNE]
Come in.
Sir, Shahab ad-Din is here.
Waiting for permission to enter.
You asked for me, sir.
Sit down, Lala.
Don't make me feel the shame of a student who makes his teacher stand.
You know what it is?
My Sultan knows better.
Experienced people answer that it is using the right stone for the right sword.
Sapphire.
It is a stone of courage and victory.
Just like you, Lala.
You've done a lot for me.
Your value is clear.
But I'm sure your star will shine in a better place.
But...
The sword I'll decorate its body is a little difficult.
It's your call, sir.
You'll go to the Janissary Corps.
What is your purpose, sir?
See what are their opinion about the siege.
I see you're hesitating, Lala.
You know the Corps relation to Candarli, sir.
What is your wisdom now?
Use the correct stone.
In the right sword, Pasha.
Sir.
[BURSA]
You planted all the seeds, right, Dilaver Agha?
Murad Han wants to see roses looming on the prince's grave in all seasons.
I planted them, Karaca Bey, don't worry.
But daffodils and tulips are bulbous plants.
They only grow up when it's their time.
You should see them..
When they bloom.
Murad Han is coming.
Does our Bey come here regularly?
The pain of losing a son is difficult, sir.
The great Murad Khan abdicated the throne after the pain of prince Aladdin.
He comes here constantly.
You should have on your way to there.
What are you doing here, Karaca?
Sorry, sir?!
I'm saying the letter I sent you, man!
Why are you still here?
No one get me that, sir.
If I had known...
Halime!
Sir.
The woman who bandaged Sultan's wound,
There is a doctor called Tatios Effendi. She might be his assistant.
A little further on, by the fountain, the one with the brown cloak.
Hey ladies.
I'm coming from a long way.
I see there's a queue, but let me drink a glass of water.
Since you came from a long way, sit down, I'll get you some.
Thank you, daughter.
Move away, Mina.
-Come on, Eleni, we're waiting. -Come on, Eleni, hurry!
We waited since morning.
Come on, girls! Shouldn't we give her a glass of water?
Forgive them.
Our water is beautiful but it flows poorly.
They have waited for a long time.
No problem, daughter.
You said you just came.
Drink slowly, it's very cold.
It'll even crack a stone.
In the name of God.
There is a doctor called Tatios, I'm here for him.
Do you know where he lives?
Of course, he is like my father.
I'll take you to him.
Oh!
How could I not notice this?!
What is it, daughter? Did something happen?
The saddle hurt his back.
Carrying load like this will be a torment.
What will you do now then?
I'll have to carry that.
I am strong and healthy, thank God.
It won't hurt.
You take it.
Come on, come on.
Oh God, Oh God!
What is the matter?
What brought you here?
This isn't something to speak here, Dogan Agha.
There are no rules in random work.
Tell it.
It is a state matter.
Let's go to the Agha room.
This is the states corps as well.
The Agha room is not available, Pasha.
When will it be available?
Whenever Candarli Halil Pasha comes.
I'm not a young man who doesn't know customs.
I came here by order of the Sultan.
The Sultan asks how Janissaries are before the great siege.
We're fine, thanks to God.
Our only wish is from the Sultan, may his health be fine.
But let's assume we have a problem.
We won't reveal that to anyone who comes in this room...
We will tell Candarli Halil Pasha whose ancestral blood is in this corp.
[BURSA]
Where is the answer you sent to the capital, Halime Hatun?
Not to the capital, to Huma.
How do you dare interfering with my work, woman?!
I dare it because of you, sir.
When you lose a son, when you lose your sovereignty, I was there for you.
I didn't force you into anything.
Huma, whom you long...
She doesn't even leave her son.
You envy her!
You are unfair.
But I gave you a prince to hold on to in your worst days.
You are also a mother.
She is a mother.
She is an innocent woman.
She played the role of mother to Aladdin, without separating him.
When will you see me, Murad?
When will you realize I'm burning for you?
I've had enough of the poisons you spewed hiding behind the prince.
You'll collect your stuff and go back to your dad.
You no longer have a place by my side.
Will you separate me from my son?
Women!
No!
Take the prince and take him to his wet nurse.
Ahmed! I won't leave Ahmed!
I won't give me to you.
Don't do this!
Do not separate my son from me!
Ahmed!
Don't take him!
Sir!
Mercy me, for God's sake!
The late prince Aladdin grown up an orphan, too.
Don't let Ahmed remain without a mother!
Let this be a lesson.
This time, for the sake of Aladdin...
I forgive you.
But if it happens again...
I promise! I promise, my Sultan.
This is the last.
I can't live without Ahmed.
Forgive me.
Door.
You have tired yourself, sir.
Welcome, Mara Hatun.
You've come a long way.
-Are you fine? -Thanks, sir.
I received the news that you sent about János.
I'm glad your father didn't make the same mistake again.
Still, János won't remain calm.
I know.
Efla visited after you.
I don't think Vlad will support him.
Let go of these things.
How was the trip?
It was not good until I heard that Huma Hatun had recovered.
Let's keep it a secret from my dad for a while.
Okay?
How long will you stay?
I'll stay for a few days.
After that, I have to go to Bursa.
Of course.
You know Halime Hatun.
She won't be calm.
-Mom will be very happy that you came. -By the way, where is she?
I thought she would be the one to meet me.
Couldn't you put a load on the healthy part of the animal's back?
No.
They are God's mute servants, entrusted to us.
Even if we do, if it hurts...
He wouldn't be able to tell.
Even if I got tired...
I didn't betrayed my trust.
You are right, daughter.
Every soul given by God is precious.
At least, get a break. You are tired.
It's rosemary, I'll gather some since we found it.
It is a medicine for wounds and a pain reliever.
If I take it's oil and apply it, it'll be good for its wounds.
I tell you to sit down, but you work hard.
God bless! You know herbs and treatments.
Tatios Effendi has taught me.
I'm good at these, he says.
That's clear, that's why I came.
-Have you heard of Tatios Effendi's skill? -No.
I mean your skill.
I saw your skill on the bandage of the hero you healed last night.
Forgive me, ma'am, but...
How do you know who came last night?
It's because he's my kid.
Forgive me, my Sultan.
I didn't know who you were.
If I had known...
I don't like to talk too long.
You are a compassionate, skilled and decent person.
If you wish, I'd like to take you to the capital.
That's very kind of you, my Sultan.
But the doctor has made a lot of efforts on me.
Your offer is very generous.
But I can't leave him and come.
My affectionate girl, if you wish, we won't make him sad.
Don't think about it.
Conclusion...
This is the incident, Pasha.
Look at the Sultan we called young.
He thinks he is shining Shahab ad-Din.
No.
His intention isn't Shahab ad-Din.
What is it then?
Mehmed know that, since I got the corps behind my back,
Constantinople won't be anything more than a dream.
What do you think of this, Dogan Agha?
This battlefield made us know the thing called human, Pasha.
There was no worry or concern in his eyes.
He obviously secured it.
I can't say it, but, I think Shahab ad-Din...
What?
He tries to be Grand Vizier.
This is Hasbahce.
Here you only see Sultan and the little princes as men.
The rest are odalisque, blacks and whites.
Everyone has a duty in the harem.
Here people are busy with all day long.
Or learn science.
Like what, my Sultan?
Speaking with grace, and reading with recitation.
The open-eyed account, the honest the law.
Those who can, how to sing.
And you'll learn the art of medicine.
Midwife Besile.
Eleni daughter, whom I told you.
-You are welcome, my Sultan. -Thanks.
You're welcome, too, daughter.
I can personally vouch for my daughter Eleni's skill.
I hope she becomes skilled in medicine like you.
Be her guide.
Yes, my Sultan.
Don't worry about it.
Teach her the medicine you have prepared for me.
Let her bring it from now on.
She is first Gods, and then your trust.
[BURSA]
My lady.
My lady?
Are you fine?
You didn't make a sound for several hours.
My lady, please say something. Say that you're okay.
I'm not.
I'm not okay, Didar.
Let's call the doctor.
Would you like that?
Order it and they'll come.
Maybe they will find a cure for your problem.
Should we call them?
Do it.
But call Vesile.
The cure for my problem is Vesile.
She is in the capital, my lady. We'll get someone else.
Write a letter to Vesile, Didar.
Since they put me in this position with a letter.
You should write a letter, too.
If Murad Han hears, this time he'll..
Hush!
Do what I tell you.
Tell Vesile...
It's time to pay her back for all the efforts I've given her.
Do you order something, Pasha?
I'll do my prayers and sleep.
Rest easy, too, Bahadir.
In the name of God.
Sultan Mehmed...
He gave me this apple, but...
I like Amasya apples more.
How did you get in?
Don't change the subject.
I'm saying something important.
Sit down.
Listen.
Amasya apples are thick, and delicious.
When we are students...
We used to eat them a lot.
The Amasya's people call it "marble".
Do you know it?
Marble.
It's crunchy and delicious.
It is juicy.
However, it is light.
Why did you come here?
I came to show you that I won't share anything but my apple.
Don't touch the men at the door.
They were raised by me.
Look, daughter.
Two dirhams of white amber and dry rose.
And four muskals of sandalwood and galangal.
-Did you understand? -I did, Mother Vesile.
Nice job.
God bless.
You learn quickly.
Look.
Whether I'm by your side or not...
You'll prepare the medicine for Huma Hatun as I showed.
Then...
Shake it.
And be sure to seal the bottle with red wax.
Let's see.
Now take her this.
Okay, Mother Vesile.
My Sultan.
If you'll excuse, I'd like to give you this ring made by Serbian craftsmen.
Thanks, Mara Hatun.
Thank you.
Nice.
It's a skilled craftsman.
Sapphire is difficult to work with.
Yes.
Where I come from, they believe that sapphire,
is the stone of heaven and sky because of its color.
And for some reason, it protects lovers.
You both know that, I haven't had any love to protect.
But you don't get tired of talking about it.
God knows when that will be.
Come in.
Your medicine, my Sultan.
Here you go, Huma Sultan.
Put it, daughter.
My Sultan.
Bring the books of Rajab and Dhu'l-Hijjah.
I will look at them again.
Your Grand Vizier, I was distracted, I'm sorry.
Siege calculation...
It seems difficult, treasurer.
There is dust everywhere.
We took out the books that has never been out, Pasha.
But we're almost there.
Okay.
What is the situation?
Will the treasury allow the siege?
God willing...
Even if it is difficult, Pasha, it will bear this burden.
Are you sure?
This is the siege of Constantinople.
It's not like trapping Orhan in front of Yenice.
Accounts don't lie, Pasha.
If you like, let's check it together.
No.
I won't.
Because...
In these notebooks...
It does not write about the mansions in the Meric countryside
and the shopkeepers in the bazaar where you bought their sons.
Come on, Pasha. No way.
It will, it will.
We already know that pen doesn't write it all.
We know it all, but... We write it aside, not in public.
I think, you should...
Close this notebook.
Open a new notebook.
Open a new one...
That is I'll close your old notebooks.
Okay, Pasha.
But, what will we say to our Sultan?
Treasurer!
What is the state of my treasury?
Where do all these taxes and revenues go?
My Sultan.
To be able to build 55 small ships with 80 decks and the 12 pullers you wanted...
it is necessary to build a slipway in addition to the shipyard building.
Their debt is big.
Give my order to the Sanjak Bey of Gallipoli.
Let him do everything that's needed for this.
And?
Cannon building workshops which you ordered, my Sultan.
It's expensive.
However, taking them to Constantinople,
We need lots of horses, mules, camels and other animals.
In the current circumstances, the state treasury can't cover it.
Why, Agha, why?
My Sultan.
Prince Orhan's rebellion, Janissary salaries, and soldier salaries...
The treasure is almost empty.
For such high expenses...
We need time.
Enough of the excuses, Agha!
Will such excuses come between me and the goal I want to achieve?
Either give me a solution...
Or I'll find someone to find the solution.
My Sultan.
There are two ways to cover these costs.
Tell me, man, what are they?!
The first is taxation.
And to reap its fruits...
-It takes time, maybe years. -Time is short, Agha.
Forget that.
I can't wait that long.
-And the other one? -For the other...
Even if it'll create inconvenience among your people...
Reducing the amount of silver in the coin.
Will that work?
Yes, my Sultan.
If we pay the pending salaries like this,
Leftover silver will be left to the treasury.
With this way the treasury will be ready for campaign in no time.
If we succeed, the treasure will be filled with spoils.
There is no mercy without hardship.
As long as it's fast...
So the road is clear.
Get started right away.
Peace be upon you.
Thank you.
Is our dagger ready?
Yes, it is.
Here you go, brave one.
You won't be able to find anything sharper or stronger than this.
Nice.
It's really what you say.
But you need to give 2 more coins.
We said 10 coins.
Yes, but...
These are newly minted coins.
It is the same coin, what is it?
This coin is low on silver, my brave.
That's why its value is low.
Vesile Hatun, the candlesticks you asked for, came from the bazaar.
There is also news from Bursa.
It's time to pay off your debts.
From now on, you will be a pain to your patient, not a cure.
Your bride and son who lives here are our guest, until we hear from you.
Their lives are in your hands.
Solve this as soon as possible.
I will consider your debt paid.
Are you okay, Vesile Hatun?
Let go off it!
I'm fine.
Did something happen?
Did you receive bad news?
It's fine.
Mind your business.
Don't interfere in everything.
I think people make the same mistake Which we probably fell into, my Sultan.
They too are incapable of understanding our purpose.
Also...
Finish your word, Pasha.
Also...
There are grumbles from the Janissary Corps.
It is the work of the ignorant who don't know what they are doing.
Sorry, I'm very sorry...
But they question your decisions.
What are they talking about?
You know, they love us and respect us.
I went and talked to them.
I did, but...
They didn't listen to me.
What is your concern, Pasha?
Honestly...
I fear that they'll get provoked and rebel.
I say that...
Either you obey the Janissary Corps...
Or the corps will obey you.
You know, Pasha.
Judgment is riding on the back of a tiger.
Everything will be fine if we held on tightly.
But if we don't...
That tiger will tear us apart.
The Janissaries are tigers.
We shouldn't get off their backs.
Tell us, there is no stranger.
There is news from Halil Pasha, Agha.
He said that Sultan won't back down...
and that he won't be an obstacle on our way...
and whatever the custom is it should be implemented.
The talk is over, Aghas.
Not it is up to our swords.
Janissaries!
Soldiers!
Comrades!
The Sultan who intentionally harmed us during the Orhan rebellion...
He now ignores our issues and problems.
While we expect great campaigns and spoil in the Hungarian...
He manipulates the value of our coins and makes fun of our minds.
While some of people like Shahab ad-Din filling their wallet,
our comrades cannot find coins to spend in the market!
Briefly, it's time for war!
Go out, burn and destroy!
Take what is yours with your claws!
Let the whole capital see the power of the Janissary!
We want our coins!
In the name of God.
Allah!
-Hu! -Hu!
Dervish!
O acceptable!
The owner of the order and acceptance.
The one who made Yazid vomit blood.
His chest is shield,
and saving the people from the lions.
Many die here, and no one asks.
That who provides miracles and generous!
We obey him!
Our Pir, our saint, Haci Bektashi Veli Shah-ı Khorasan.
For the sake of him, let's say "Hu"!
Hu!
Either our coins or death!
Don't forget Shahab ad-Din.
The Janissaries are coming! Run away!
What is it, Bahadir?
I think you missed your mother.
I see you do chores when you are alone.
No, Pasha. It's my mother's advice.
She always said: "Don't let God's word get dirty."
When I saw its cover...
I have prepared your horse, Pasha.
You stained your handkerchief.
Isn't that what your mother made and sent me?
Yes, Pasha.
Albanian work.
As you know, my mom sees you like one of his children.
Yes.
Is there any news from her?
I received a letter from my brother yesterday.
He says she isn't good, Pasha.
Soldiers!
Stop, Aghas! This is the Pasha's Palace!
What's going on?
How could you enter my palace like this?
Pasha, let's get you out the back.
Will a brave man run away from war, Bahadir?
Pasha!
Bahadir!
You traitors! You lowly!
Janissaries!
You obviously have a death wish.
We want our coins!
Even if it is Sultan Mehmed...
He'll come and give Janissaries right!
Give us our rights! Give us our rights!
If Sultan Mehmed doesn't come and give us our right...
We'll bring the Sultan of Constantinople!
Either our coins or death!
Aghas!
O brave ones!
The looting is over.
We'll give Sultan Mehmed one last chance.
We'll go to Alatepe with what we took.
Come on, brave ones!
Edirne.
Belgrade.
Constantinople.
Come in.
Sir, there is something very important.
What is this concern, Kazim?
Sir, they rebelled.
The Janissaries rebelled, and ruined the market.
They destroyed everywhere.
What do you say, Kazim?
Kurtcu, middle Agha's, did no one stop them?
Sir, Kurtcu Dogan himself started the rebellion.
There is no safe place anymore.
If a fire occurs, it will not stop.
And since they lit a fire in the capital,
God knows who will burn after this time.
What is it, daughter?
I'll prepare Huma Sultan's medicine, Mother Vesile.
I was looking for the jars.
I prepared it.
You take this to the Mother Sultan.
It's color looks a little different, mother.
-Is it fine? -It's her medicine, daughter.
Come on, take it without wasting any time. Don't distract me either.
Be careful, Mother. Let there not be a mistake.
Leave it, I'll get it.
You just came and trying to teach me my job?
Pasha, it might hurt a little. Hold on.
God is the healer. In the name of God.
I didn't expected them to exceed their limits, sir.
Forgive me, I couldn't stop them.
Don't blame yourself in vain, Pasha.
It's not your fault, none of us could see that.
But they will see.
They'll see the price of rebellion against the state.
What's your order, sir.
What is your decision?
The decision is clear.
The state will not obey the corp, the corp will obey the state.
Tell my raider soldier to come to the capital.
Is it right to make brothers fight brother, my Sultan?
A lot of blood will be shed.
Even if my hands and feet don't obey orders, they will be cut off.
Please come in, midwife Vesile. She is available.
My Sultan.
Are you okay, Vesile? You look tired.
I am fine, my Sultan.
But I couldn't sleep much last night.
I told that daughter Eleni to prepare my medicines from now on.
Where is she?
I looked for her, but I couldn't find her, my Sultan.
I brought it so that we won't be late.
You look for Eleni, but couldn't find her, is that so, Vesile Hatun?
No, Mara Hatun, I just said that.
We saw that a lie came out of your mouth.
Tell the truth now.
Mara, what's going on?
Eleni says there is something wrong with this medication.
And I say, there is something else in it. What do you say, Vesile Hatun?
I swear nothing is in it, my Sultan.
I added a few things to make it more potent.
It should be fine.
Since there is no harm in it, you should drink it first.
Please leave me alone, I am innocent.
Tell us, who is not innocent?
Your bride and son who lives here are our guest, until we hear from you.
Their lives are in your hands.
Forgive me, my Sultan.
True, it's true.
We differed on the Hungarian campaign and the siege of Constantinople.
I too, had mistake.
But who knows...
Maybe...
Maybe I felt bad because he sent Shahab ad-Din instead of me.
Yet, we could have prevented all the shame which happened from the beginning.
But I couldn't.
The Janissary Corps is my son, I thought I knew their character.
I left you as Mehmed's guardian so as not to make any mistake.
Now you stand before me and say: "The Janissaries have rebelled!"
I didn't want that to happen.
But things got heated.
Our Sultan is stubborn.
Especially after this time, he will never back down.
If we don't take precautions, blood of brothers will spill.
What do you want from me?
Forgiving!
Even if not to me...
To your state, which has the effort of many martyrs.
I know the traitors among you, one by one.
All the tyrants who spit at the doors of the state whom they eat,
They'll feel my wrath!
But now I am addressing the innocent among you.
You have all sworn allegiance.
You acknowledged this when you entered Shah-i Khorasan gate.
Is this your favor? Is this our reward?
I swear by God who holds my soul in his hands...
Everyone will know the price for destroying my capital!
Now...
I give you one last chance, a piece of mercy from the Sultan.
Drop your weapons down, and surrender to my justice!
I think they'll surrender.
Here!
The Sultan of security and prosperity, the leader of the invaders...
His Eminence Sultan Murad Han.
Look at the state I left you.
This will have a price.
Go to Manisa.
And wait for my decision.
I seek refuge with God from the accursed Satan.
In the name of God.
"Didn't we not open your chest for you?"
"And we have removed your burden."
"Which whom broke your back."
"Did we not raise your glory?"
"For with hardship comes ease."
"Indeed, with hardship comes ease."
"If so, after you finish one, start another."
"Only turn to your Lord and supplicate."
It's all over, Aksem.
It's not over yet, Mehmed.
Everything is just beginning.
