My Sultana, don't.
Stop, my Sultana.
Stop.
Sultan, are you alright? You've turned pale.
I was worried you'd get burnt.
I know you don't like fire.
If only you open up to me about the fire burning you up inside.
Sultana Ulviye...
She was my first child.
Her curly hair.
Her pink cheeks.
How clever she was.
How sweet.
Back in the day...
...I used to go swimming in Sarıyer.
They sent word from the palace...
...asking me to return at once.
I returned immediately.
My brother Murat greeted me.
He told me Sultana Ulviye was very unwell.
He took me up to her room.
What happened to your daughter?
While everyone...
...in the palace was distracted...
Ulviye...
...was playing with matches.
All of a sudden...
...her hair and her clothes caught fire.
They took me to her room.
There was a blanket covering her.
I pulled it up.
She said...
"...Father."
Then she flew to heaven.
They found a name for the child...
...who lost his mother.
They call them motherless.
They found a name for the child who lost his father.
They call them orphan.
But they couldn't find a name for the father who lost his child.
Don't be upset, my Sovereign.
You shall meet again in heaven.
İnşallah.
May Allah never test a father...
...with losing his child.
Does something else trouble you?
Troubles are numerous.
But there is no one to share them with.
I can share your troubles.
My son Abdülkadir...
He got involved into something way over his head.
Does he trouble you...
...as your son or as your Şehzade?
That's the issue, my Sultana.
When a son errs against his father...
...it can be discussed and forgiven.
He is a son.
But when a Şehzade...
...errs against his State and his Sovereign...
...it may never be forgiven.
Mahmut Pasha gave us this location.
In the woods.
At the entrance of the hunting grounds.
It is an exposed area.
We should predict an attack of any kind.
You'll go and bring the weapons.
You will go in numbers.
Place a man everywhere.
Make two circles.
If a shootout starts...
...remember that they may have heavy weapons.
My Sovereign.
Mahmut Pasha...
He come out of nowhere and said he knows where the weapons are.
That is why we are wary.
Those who will give us the weapons...
...aim at getting Mr. Herbert back.
I am afraid...
...they may try to capture one of you as hostage for an exchange.
Don't worry, my Sovereign.
We'd rather die...
...than fall hostages.
I know.
My Sovereign, is that why you tore the document Mr. Herbert signed?
Those who will give us the weapons...
...want to get Mr. Herbert back.
But I don't know how.
Since the weapons are more important than Mr. Herbert...
...that it doesn't really concern me.
Save your lives.
And get the weapons. That would be enough.
As you command.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Ömer...
Ömer brought me here.
I am his guest.
When I left the palace...
Are you that girl from the palace?
Well, I was there for a while.
What is your relation with Ömer that he brought you to our house?
Are you his sister?
No.
But we grew up together.
Asiye Teyze raised us.
May her soul rest in peace.
Ömer told me.
Asiye Teyze entrusted us to each other.
Did you get to know each other?
We were doing that.
Ahsen.
Zeynep.
Did you sleep well?
Where are you coming from, Ömer?
We put mattresses in the soup house...
...and slept there.
Ahsen.
Stay here for a while longer.
This is what is appropriate.
Those who killed Samir...
...may be after you.
It's dangerous outside.
It's better for you to stay here.
I don't have elsewhere to go anyway.
Zeynep is like my sister.
She will keep you company.
Goodbye.
My Sovereign.
How was your night, Pasha?
Was it the cat who drank the milk...
...or was it the wind that spilled it?
I followed the Şehzade.
Unfortunately, he delivered the flower.
I reckon the Şehzade's heart is captivated.
He is following his heart.
Is it Ahsen?
Unfortunately, my Sovereign.
He met Ahsen.
He gave someone the flower.
They were returning to the palace together.
But for some reason...
...Ahsen left.
The Şehzade waited.
Then I went and picked him up and brought him to the palace.
My Sovereign
I think we lost...
...both Sarah and Ahsen.
Sarah will return, Pasha.
We'll take care of her.
There is no doctor in the capital who can turn a flower into medicine.
What do you command in regards to the Şehzade?
Summon him to the interrogation room. Let him wait for his turn.
As you command.
My Sovereign.
As for Şehzade Burhaneddin...
...the preparations are ready.
He will arrive, inşallah.
Excellent.
I fell in love, mother.
But...
This love brings me nothing but sorrow.
Oh my Şehzade.
You shall master the science of love before you fall victim to it.
Because...
The invasion of love leaves no atom intact in one's brain.
I can't overcome this love no matter what I do.
I find myself struggling in this game of love.
I blundered again last night.
What have you done, son?
Ahsen sent me a letter.
She asked me to bring her a flower.
I did.
What is wrong with that, son?
She wanted the flower for that woman named Sarah.
The flower contains...
...both a poison and the antidote.
But...
...I learnt that my father had a plan.
Sarah was poisoned by that flower.
She needs to return to the palace to take the remedy.
Abdülkadir, what have you done?
I did it to bring Ahsen back to the palace.
I didn't betray my father.
I made a plan.
But I did not succeed.
I thought Ahsen would return to the palace.
I was mistaken.
None of my wishes came true.
If I tell that to my father...
...he won't believe me.
Of course, he won't.
What have you done so far...
...to gain our Sovereign's trust and confidence, Abdülkadir?
The closer he got to you, the further you ran away.
He built towers of trust for you...
...and you destroyed these towers one by one, Abdülkadir.
What will I do, mother?
Please show me a way.
Son.
First of all, you should know this.
Worldly desires make one suffer.
Keep your love only to Allah.
And be a slave only to Him.
His slaves are always free. Don't forget that.
It is hard.
It certainly is.
But this is the only way to have peace of mind.
My Şehzade, I am here to lead you to the interrogation room.
This is our Sovereign's order.
Father.
I wonder.
Is there a disaster in the world that could spoil your appetite?
Listen to me, Sabahaddin.
A good palate...
...is the noble duty of a nobleman.
I am not a mindless man...
...who could spend his life eating bulgur and onions.
Look at those people with terrible taste.
Look at them.
For years...
...they have been putting that tasteless man like Abdülhamid...
...on a pedestal.
Down with those people and their Sovereign.
Sabahaddin.
What angers you so much...
...is that chubby girl, isn't it?
Please, father!
That is not my problem.
It is for you and my mother to handle.
What is that?
What?
Mother?
What is that?
Bidar Kadın has sent Makbule’s trousseau.
Congratulations.
Are you two out of your minds?
I devoted my life to civilization and freedom.
And you are talking to me about trousseau.
Sabahaddin.
If we have this chubby girl run around a little...
...if we stop her from eating bread and bulgur...
...if we show her around London and Paris...
...she could certainly be your wife.
-Mahmut. -Father!
I swear...
...I'll escape to Europe without hesitating.
I swear I'll do that.
You think about the rest.
You could explain everything to Uncle Abdülhamid then.
Imagine the scandal.
-Sabahaddin. -Mother.
You got me into this mess.
You clean this up, please.
Well...
My dear Seniha. Sabahaddin is right.
He sees his father.
He sees me married to a beautiful woman like you.
Seniha.
He wouldn't want to marry that girl.
Enough, Mahmut!
My Sultana.
Where did we go wrong...
...while raising our child?
My Sovereign, this is my responsibility.
Despite all the state affairs you run...
...you have taken care of our children more than enough.
Naime Sultan is also your child.
If you had failed as a mother...
...she would have been the same way.
Rest assured.
The problem is bigger than that.
My Sovereign.
I accept any punishment.
But Abdülkadir would not voluntarily betray you.
He took those flower out of love.
The issue is not only the flowers, my Sultana.
Is there something else?
There were weapons...
...brought to the capital...
...from the customs by illegal means.
Without being searched?
They couldn't search it.
...because the boxes were landed with a document...
...indicating that the goods belong to Abdülkadir.
Our son has made a trade.
Abdülkadir...
Son.
My Sovereign.
He took the money from me.
He took your youth as a role model.
He wanted to trade as you did.
He did all this to impress you.
Honestly, my Sultana...
...I don't know if our son is unlucky...
...or if he's foolish.
But he destroys everything he does.
Or...
...it is not misfortune or foolishness.
I don't even want to think about it...
But perhaps he is betraying me.
My Sovereign.
If Abdülkadir is betraying you...
...the judgement is yours.
I won't say a word.
But I know Abdülkadir's nature.
He doesn't betray.
İnşallah.
İnşallah, my Sultana.
But all I ask from you...
...is to let me know...
...of whatever Abdülkadir asks you.
Of course, my Sovereign.
My Sultana.
Forgive me.
I didn't mean to bother you.
No, please.
Yes, Pasha?
I have long wanted to speak to you about a matter.
Certainly, if you'll allow me.
Of course.
I have a secret in my heart.
It needs no name.
It needs no fame.
It has...
...no words.
It cannot be revealed.
Is there someone your secret addresses, Pasha?
There is.
You, my Sultana.
I only want to reveal...
...this secret to you.
Tell me.
I am all ears.
You are the source and the cure of my ailment, my Sultana.
My heart...
...is as desperate as spring that has shed everything.
The flames in my heart cannot be put out.
If...
If the sun knew my love...
...it would rise untimely.
My eyes have seen you.
My heart has fallen in love, my Sultana.
Where is my sin here?
Forgive me, my Sultana.
But this love has lifted the curtains of my heart.
Pasha.
In two days, in Goksu.
Naime?
My daughter.
What is wrong with you, dear?
Why is your temperature so high?
My will, my mind, my body have all shut down.
My entire body is lovesick.
Why do you upset yourself so much, dear?
I can't help it.
I have put my faith in fate...
...and I am waiting.
Love is good, dear.
But you are sailing this boat of love to the wrong destination.
You cannot reach the port by devastating yourself.
Kemalettin...
He doesn't see me.
My existence means nothing to him.
I opened my heart to him.
He didn't even reply to the letter I wrote.
Don't worry about it now.
Try to recover as soon as possible.
Has autumn ever not been followed by spring?
Your mother will solve all your troubles...
...my beautiful daughter.
Brother.
Selamünaleyküm.
Aleykümselam.
How are you?
How did you get permission to come?
Our Sovereign got the permission.
He wished to see me.
He must have missed his son.
It's not that he missed me.
When his other son hurt him...
...he wanted to see me...
...to be sure whether or not he made a mistake...
...while raising his children.
What do you mean?
I will directly tell you what I mean.
I have heard about what you do.
Sneaking out of the palace.
Starting fights.
And weapon trade.
What weapon trade?
There were weapons in the crates you thought contained fabrics.
What?
I didn't know that.
I swear I didn't know.
You have learned now, brother.
It was only trade.
I had made the calculation.
A Şehzade doesn't make calculations.
He brings others to account.
Don't worry.
We'll bring those who deceived you to account.
I can't believe that you are giving the weapons to Abdülhamid.
Don't worry.
We are not giving up anything.
We'll take them back.
A complete camouflage.
It is impossible for them to see us.
Come.
Get into the wolf trap, little lambs.
There is no one around.
This is not normal.
Soldiers, watch out.
We found them.
A Mauser rifle.
Five bullets.
Good machines.
O bismillah!
You will die like pigs.
Hatice?
What makes you sing like a nightingale?
Auntie.
I have news that will please you.
Tell me. What is it?
Come.
Auntie.
I found what my heart wanted.
I fell in love.
He loves me, too.
Really?
Who is this lucky gentleman?
Gazi Osman Pasha's son.
Kemalettin Pasha.
Hatice.
I am very glad.
I am sure it'll be an appropriate marriage...
...for you and our dynasty.
However...
...I don't know the formalities of such matters.
To whom should I speak?
How can I tell this to our Sovereign?
Don't worry, dear. I will take care of this.
Really, auntie?
Of course.
It is my duty.
But under one condition.
I accept whatever condition you set.
This means...
...we have to delay your engagement for a while.
-Why is that? -It is tradition.
If two marriages coincide...
...they are held together to decrease the expenses.
If your engagement is delayed...
...I can delay Sabahaddin and Makbule’s engagement.
Bidar Hatun is pressuring us.
I knew you were up to something...
...when you proposed to Makbule on behalf of Sabahaddin.
Look at you.
You knew?
Auntie.
Take care of my request properly.
I can wait.
Don't worry, dear.
Ömer Abi!
What is it?
-The Armenians... -What about them?
Tell me.
They've thrown pig heads and tripe...
...in the house gardens and mosques.
There is chaos on the streets.
That cur Hiram again.
He wants to drive a wedge between the Muslims and the Armenians...
...and wreak havoc.
Ömer Abi.
Be careful. Shall I come, too?
You stay.
et me first find out what's going on.
I'll call you if I need help.
Yes.
This is proof for the exact time Abdülhamid's men took the weapons.
This is the document that proves...
...that the weapons were brought to the capital by his Şehzade.
You say these are all enough to shake the world, right?
Absolutely.
Good.
Let's still make a proofing mockup at the print house.
Then we will send it to the palace.
We will set the date of the newspaper two days later.
So that the Sultan comprehends the threat.
Either he releases Sir Herbert...
...or this newspaper will be printed.
When Abdülhamid sees this...
...he will release Sir Herbert immediately.
He cannot risk facing a scandal like that.
Mr. Herzl.
Dear Mr. Herzl.
You really are a very talented journalist.
I think when all this is over...
...you and I should publish a new newspaper in Europe.
It is possible.
Will this newspaper stand for a certain idea?
It will, for sure.
I am a friend of the Jews, thanks to you.
That piqued my interest.
There has been no acts...
...of antisemitism against the Jews in the Ottoman Empire.
But in Europe...
...antisemitism has always been prevalent.
Yes. Get to the point.
We can publish a newspaper...
...with the goal to eliminate this antisemitism.
If my father had come up with this...
...I'd kill him without blinking, Mahmut Pasha.
You didn't say that.
Mr. Herzl.
Have you broken the wings of your mental faculties?
I have made a very friendly offer.
Look, Mahmut Pasha.
The Jews' only strength...
...is the hatred of other nations towards them.
I understood this...
...in France when I saw the Christians humiliating the Jews.
I based all my ideas on this.
Our main goal as Zionists...
...is to feed that hatred.
Otherwise we would be no different from other nations.
It would be the end of us.
This is the hard part of it.
Europeans hate the Jews.
But the Jews in Ottoman lands...
...are always protected by Abdülhamid.
If only this was our problem.
We'll let Zaharoff to take the weapons.
Then we'll take them back from him.
When we start to kill the Armenians in the capital...
...we can warn the Jews and tell them they are next in line.
My Sultan.
Welcome, Zaharoff Effendi.
İnşallah you are feeling well.
Actually, there should be wars in the world...
...for you to be in a good mood.
I am content with small conflicts.
If it weren't for your peace policies...
...our work as weapon merchants...
...would be better, my Sultan.
You are direct.
I am a merchant.
The more a merchant runs his mouth...
...the more he earns.
Forgive me.
Winchester.
1895.
American rifle.
You don't have to put the bullets one by one.
3.5 kilograms.
The barrel is 50 centimetres.
The Americans call it...
..."The Boss".
People used to hide behind trees to avoid bullets.
Now they won't be able to.
Because this gun...
...is strong enough to bore a tree, my Sultan.
If you have this weapon, my Sultan...
...your enemy has nowhere to run away.
Would you like to try it?
It is an honour for this weapon to be handled...
...by an excellent marksman like you.
Money.
Money, Zaharoff Effendi.
Money.
Are you here to sell weapons, Zaharoff Effendi?
No.
This is my gift to you, my Sultan.
I came here...
...to buy weapons.
I had a ship in the Black Sea.
One of my men stole my weapons.
The fool sent them to the capital.
Now...
...he must be lying...
...at the bottom of the sea with bullets in his belly.
Your conflicts do not concern me.
What is your goal?
My Sultan.
You have the weapons that have been stolen.
You can keep them if you wish.
We want nothing to do with unregistered guns.
Celal Effendi
Locate Zaharoff Effendi's ship.
Take him to his ship.
Make sure that the weapons don't return to the capital.
As you command, my Sultan.
If a bullet fired from your weapons hurts anyone in my nation...
...all your ships in the sea will sink...
...Zaharoff Effendi.
Thank you for giving me...
...my weapons, my Sultan.
Money.
The streets are in chaos again, Ömer.
This does not bode well.
Someone keeps disturbing our peace.
Aghas.
It is our obligation to do something about this.
Many citizens will be hurt.
May Allah give us strength. -Amin.
That dog Hiram has connections with the Armenian mobs.
I think he is behind all of this.
That filth is now friends with the angel of death.
He won't die in an easy way.
Yusuf.
He will pay for everything he did.
We should find out where he bought the pigs.
We can trace him from there.
There is a farm outside the town.
You can't find pigs anywhere else.
He must have bought them from that farm.
What are we waiting for?
Let's go ask.
Let's go and trace the pigs.
-My Sovereign. -Come in, Pasha.
My Sovereign.
I brought you Abdülkadir's seal, as you ordered.
Let's break it, Pasha...
...so that this seal won’t compromise our safety again.
Let's break it...
...so that our Şehzade understands that now things won't be the same.
My Sovereign.
Şehzade Burhaneddin has arrived.
He is waiting to appear before you.
Send him in.
