Please come in.
Son.
Maşallah.
Are you alright, son?
Thank Allah, my Sovereign. I pray for your health.
Thank you.
-Son. -At your service.
If they wake you up from your bed one night...
...and tell you that your father is dead, what would you do?
Allah forbid, my Sovereign.
What would you do?
My Sovereign.
You are the pillar of our State.
Our pillar will collapse.
Your father dies, the column collapses.
The roof is about to break down. What would you do?
I would bear it, my Sovereign.
I would bear the burden...
...of our State, our people and the whole Islamic world.
They will attack you. They'll unleash their hyenas.
They will load their depravity...
...and their cruelty in a gun, and shoot you.
What would you do?
I'd stand up to them, my Sultan.
As the guardian of morals...
...as the friend of the poor I'd stand up to them.
Your loved ones will turn their back on you.
Even your children won't be there.
You will be alone.
What would you do?
I'd share my troubles with Allah, my Sovereign.
How would you bear...
...all this burden, son?
I will bear as much as Allah allows me, my Sovereign.
Allah bless you.
All done. The newspaper is on the way.
What happened?
I have concerns.
Will we be able to take the weapons from Abdülhamid?
Mr. Herzl.
Toss your concerns...
...off a cliff like an eagle and let them go.
I'll swimmingly take the weapons back.
Abdülhamid won't let the weapons go.
Abdülhamid will think the weapons are forever gone.
How is that going to happen?
The weapons will sink in the middle of the Black Sea.
And then...
They will arrive in the hands of the Armenians...
...and explode.
Abdülhamid will be very surprised.
Then we'll see...
...of the mighty Sovereign's grandeur and pomposity...
...that shake the world?
I hope so.
Mr. Herzl.
You'll get the weapons...
...I'll get the Ottoman State.
And the naive people...
...will get Abdülhamid.
Don't worry.
The date is the day after tomorrow.
We thought there would be an attack...
...but they took photos of our soldiers.
"The Bloody Sultan distributes weapons to his Muslim people...
...to kill the Armenians."
"And the weapon dealer is..."
Very interesting.
..."the Ottoman Sultan's only Şehzade Abdülkadir Effendi."
And this is...
...the proof that the weapons belong to Abdülkadir Effendi.
They also sent a note, Pasha.
If we don't release Herbert...
...they will print the newspaper in two days...
...and announce that to the entire world.
MY Sovereign.
Şehzade Abdülkadir and Sabahaddin...
...are involved in fabric trade.
Mahmut Pasha comes here and tells us where the weapons are.
Suspicious.
Suspicious, suspicious.
If we take decisions and judge on the basis of suspicion...
...we would be unjust, Pasha.
We shall judge with evidence.
Suspicions are like a fire in a volcano, Pasha.
If it erupts, it also burns the innocent people around it.
We cannot risk committing that sin.
My Sovereign.
If they knew you...
...they wouldn't be your enemy.
If they knew your justice...
...they would wish to bask in its shadow.
If they knew your compassion...
...they would wish to be your friends.
Those who cannot see those will see my fury instead.
We'll release Mr. Herbert.
He can go if he wishes.
But if he leaves...
...he would choose death.
Good morning, gentleman.
My benefactor.
Revered Mahmut Pasha.
Welcome.
-How is work? -Thank you, Pasha.
Thanks to you, I make a living.
Are you happy with your job?
I am, Pasha.
Thank you.
Excellent.
You're aware.
I am the one who assigned you here.
And I can also remove you when necessary.
What do you command, Pasha?
Will the weapons be transported on these boats at night?
We are nearly done, Pasha.
This is the ship that will sail to the Black Sea.
You will drill a hole in the middle of this boat.
-The boat will sink, Pasha. -It won't.
You will fill the hole...
...with this wax paste.
Pasha, the saltwater will melt down this paste in three or four hours.
Good, we want it to melt down.
This boat will sink with our State's soldiers, Pasha.
How dare you? Don't I know that?
I am the State here!
A pasha of the State has come to you...
...and given you an order.
Do you think that Pasha won't think of our State's soldiers but you will?
Forgive me, Pasha.
Your wish is my command.
Our State knows best, Pasha.
Excellent.
Now, your name has been added to the promotion list.
That's an honour, Pasha.
It is. Now get to work.
I will honour you.
But my word is not valid in the grave.
Sultan, here are the locations I found in London...
...of the English agents in the territories of the Russian Empire.
Those in Siberia.
11 in Moscow.
Around 25 in Petersburg.
There is a total of about 3000...
...English spies in the Russian Empire.
Son, you did such a great thing.
We are still making use of it.
If it wasn't for you and our martyrs...
...I couldn't have succeeded, my Sovereign.
What are your commands?
Tahsin Pasha.
Yes, my Sovereign.
Send this document to the Russian Embassy.
As you command.
If there are so many English agents in the Russian lands...
...there has to be some in the embassy, too.
Write this below.
"A gift from Sir Herbert the Undersecretary of Colonies...
...to Russia in exchange for his asylum in Russia."
As you command.
I suppose the English won't forgive this treason.
My Sovereign.
I studied for many years in the school of politics.
But I have never seen a teacher like you.
The science of politics cannot be taught in schools.
You have to experience it.
For example...
...tell me why we handed the weapons over to Zaharoff?
The weapons belong to Zaharoff.
We could have said we have no weapons.
But we delivered the weapons to his boat.
So he understands that he cannot sell illegal weapons in this State.
Back to your duty.
Brother.
Wait for me here.
Selamünaleyküm.
Ve aleykümselam.
Pig tripes have been polluting the streets for the past few days.
You're the only one raising pigs around here.
I raise pigs for non-Muslim subjects.
Have you sold a large quantity of pigs lately?
A one-eyed man came.
He bought many pigs.
Do you know that man?
Do you know anything about him?
Does he come here often?
He came by a couple of times.
I hadn't seen him before.
Did you ask him...
...why or for whom he bought all these pigs?
We don't ask such questions here.
He came, bought them, and left.
He didn't speak much.
He doesn't have to speak.
Now we understand.
The mark I'd left on his face...
...exposes him everywhere.
Goodbye.
Any information?
That cur Hiram.
He came here and bought some pigs.
I'll bury him with the pigs.
Come in.
Welcome, dear. Come.
Come, Fehime.
I have important news for you.
Really?
What is the important news?
Aunt Seniha came today.
She spoke with my sister.
What did they speak about?
The affinity between Kemalettin Pasha and Hatice Sultan has developed.
They spoke about marriage.
Marriage?
Yes.
Come, dear. Sit next to me.
Aunt Seniha wanted to take their marriage upon herself.
She said she would take care of it.
Look at your Aunt Seniha.
But she set a condition.
Would Sultana Seniha...
...do anything outside her interests?
What is her condition?
She had my sister promise her to delay the engagement for a while.
That way, Makbule and Sabahaddin's marriage will be delayed.
She said this would prevent you from achieving your goal.
She knows the traditions of the palace.
It is appropriate to celebrate the two weddings at once.
When a marriage is delayed, so will the other.
That will buy Sultana Seniha some time.
That's her wish, my Sultana.
I will not sacrifice the future of my brother and my son...
...for Sultana Seniha's desires.
Saffet?
Yes, Pasha.
I'll ask you to do something, but do it exactly as I say.
What is my reward?
If you do everything properly...
...we’ll go out and do sleuthing on the streets.
Really?
Can I be a spy?
Sure.
You are a brave man, maşallah.
You are also clever.
Finally, someone took notice of my skills.
Tell me, Pasha.
I am at your command.
It's a deal.
Naime Sultan fell ill.
I want you to take her a present.
Of course.
As soon as she recovers.
Don't be curious and open it.
Saffet knows that a spy should keep secrets.
What's in it?
You weren't going to ask.
It's a vinyl.
But don't open it anyway.
Soldiers, start loading.
As you command!
Come here, I want to talk to you.
I did something.
I have to consult you.
I did something, but I don't know whether it's right or wrong.
Celal, calm down and tell me.
Naime Sultan.
I love Naime, Kemalettin.
Well well, brother.
I gathered my courage today...
...and sent her a present.
With the present, I wrote a letter...
...expressing my feelings. -That is great.
But what if I did something wrong?
She is the Sultan's daughter.
I revealed my identity.
Don't worry, brother.
How can I do that?
I am just a simple captain.
Can I be worthy of Naime?
A simple captain?
Hold it there.
Dear Brother.
Do you think you are an ordinary captain?
On the contrary, you carry out...
...the most important duties our Sovereign assigns.
What is a pasha, Celal?
Which Pasha has served as you have?
I am upset, Pasha.
Don't worry yourself.
If I don't receive a positive response from Naime...
...I'll leave.
Celal.
Why are you upset for what hasn't happened?
Let's go and fulfil our duty adequately.
When we return, we will see about it.
Fine, you are right.
You don't have to come.
We'll leave the weapons and return.
No. We'll go together.
Understand me.
I want to be alone out at sea.
I think it will do me good.
Well well!
Tough-eyed, stone-hearted Celal...
...will daydream in the world of reveries.
All right, go alone.
But it is open water. You'll get cold.
-Take this. -No need.
Take it.
-Come. -O Allah!
Well, Pasha, well!
Celal Pasha!
Sir, our agent in the Russian Embassy sent this.
This is a disaster.
The locations of our cells and agents...
...in the Russian territory have been exposed.
What are you saying?
No such disaster has happened in our entire history.
This is Sir Herbert's doing.
He gave this information to the Ottoman State.
The Ottomans sent it to the Russian Embassy...
...saying "It concerns you."
We have to inform London at once.
Yes, sir.
Don't go anywhere.
I think this will fall upon you.
-Everything ready? -Yes, Captain.
Take care.
Well well!
Celal Effendi.
Abdülhamid's favourite man.
It's such a shame.
May Allah give our State patience.
Naime.
My daughter.
The source of my happiness.
My beautiful daughter.
The apple of my eye.
The sun of our house.
May Allah protect you.
Allah, please don't test me with the pain of my children.
Allah, bless my daughter with health.
Tell me, my daughter.
Tell me what your remedy is.
Tell me what will give you your health back.
Kemalettin.
Daddy. -Rest, dear.
Don't hide what troubles you.
Don't keep it in.
Your fever burns my heart.
Hatice?
I was looking for you, dear.
Yes, my Sultana.
I heard...
...there is an affinity between you and Kemalettin Pasha.
Why does that concern you?
Everything going on in my Harem concerns me, dear.
It would have been more proper if you had told me.
Why would I?
I shared it with our Sovereign's sister, my aunt Sultana Seniha.
Moreover...
Why this accusatory tone?
Is it wrong that I desire marriage?
Come with me.
Sarah.
I couldn't do it, Sarah.
No matter what I did...
...I couldn't take that flower from that hospital.
Abdülhamid is such a gentleman...
...he kills a woman with a flower.
Herzl?
Hiram? Mahmut Pasha?
Where are all those useless men?
Well...
They don't need anything from you anymore, Sarah.
Mahmut Pasha has become an English Governor.
As for Theodor Herzl...
He is after getting money with the armed Armenian gangs
Fools.
Without me...
...they cannot take down Abdülhamid.
You cannot even take down his photo from the wall.
To take down Abdülhamid...
...you first have to corrupt the people who keep him standing.
We have to change the young generation.
I will do that.
The writer Samir is dead.
Now!
All the young Ottomans...
...will think that Abdülhamid killed Samir.
They will lift his coffin.
And that is our army.
Those young people...
...will become teachers.
They'll become doctors.
They'll become soldiers.
They'll become journalists.
Then...
They will sit on the chairs wherefrom the State is ruled.
They will grow up...
...dressing and eating like Europeans.
And at the end...
They will turn into an invincible army.
At that moment...
...twill infiltrate the houses...
...the hearts...
...the community...
...the veins...
...and the blood of religion of the Ottomans.
And chaos will begin.
It's impossible to defeat Abdülhamid any other way, Sarah.
Wake up.
Come on.
Come with me.
Where?
To Abdülhamid.
Are you out of your mind?
I run away from him and you tell me this?
We are only hurting ourselves...
...by fighting against Abdülhamid.
If you want to live...
...you have to pledge allegiance to him, Sarah.
Come on.
Come.
My Sovereign.
The weapons have been loaded.
They will be delivered to Zaharoff's ship in the Black Sea.
Sign the document of our delivery.
Our soldiers are aware of the delicacy of the matter, my Sovereign.
Do not worry.
Thank Allah, we have overcome this, too.
Now it is time to go and question our Şehzade.
Let's see if he has anything to tell us.
Look at my daughter's condition.
Yes.
I see.
She had been standing in the rain for a while.
I hope she recovers in a few days.
It is not because she stood in the rain.
My daughter is in this condition because of you, Hatice.
You are the one who threw my daughter into this fire.
My Sultana.
Why do you say that? I don't understand.
Do you know why Naime stood in the rain that long?
To put out the fire in her heart.
How is this related to me? I don't understand.
Kemalettin.
Kemalettin?
Naime is in love with Kemalettin, Hatice.
So much that she fell ill.
Sarah.
I love you...
...with all my past...
...and all my future.
Like this?
I don't like power like you do.
I leave my soul in the dungeon of the woman I love...
...even at her weakest moment.
Come on.
Go, become the sultan's captive.
And I'll go devise a plan to make the Sultan mine.
Come on.
I came to our Sovereign.
My Sovereign.
Our Sublime State has a special habit, my son.
We fulfil the wishes of those who demand their rights.
And cut off the heads that rise in objection.
-My Sovereign. -Be quiet!
I allowed you...
...to bring newspapers that insult me in my palace.
I tried to explain it to you.
You ran away from the palace.
You provoked a disaster.
A girl was going to die.
The situation is still vague.
We made a plan.
We waited for the traitor to come and take the flower.
And catch whoever takes it to Sarah Hedaya.
However...
...my son appears before me.
My Şehzade Abdülkadir Effendi.
Do you have an explanation?
My Sovereign.
Betrayal could not be further from my mind.
But you took that flower.
I did.
Samir Effendi came to take the flower.
We drank coffee.
I told him to bring Ahsen...
...and take the flower.
He brought Ahsen and I gave him the flower.
I also left a note.
In the note, I told Samir that I poisoned him.
I told him that the remedy...
...will only suffice for one person.
Sultan.
I didn't betray you.
If what you said had happened...
...Samir would have used the flower's remedy.
And Sarah Hedaya would come here now.
Believe me, I don't know.
I wanted to bring Ahsen to you.
That way, I didn't destroy your plans...
...for Sarah Hedaya.
However...
...Ahsen left me.
Why didn't Sarah show up?
Maybe Samir...
...sacrificed himself for Sarah.
My Sovereign.
Yes, Pasha.
Sarah Hedaya is here.
She looks terribly worn-out.
You haven't given an explanation about the illegal weapons, Şehzade.
Look.
Yes, sir?
Bring me very a strong cup of coffee.
Yes, sir.
I have to stay awake until I leave Abdülhamid's country.
There is a hole in the boat. It is taking in water, Captain.
Give me the flare gun.
Quickly!
Close the hole. Come on!
Sir, I brought your coffee.
Sir?
Sir.
Oh my Allah.
The man died.
Attention! Sultan Abdülhamid!
MY Sovereign.
I don't want to die.
Help me.
I'm begging you!
I said you would return...
...Sarah Hedaya.
I underestimated your power.
We all did.
We all underestimated your power.
I don't want to die.
Help me. -You will not die.
No need to be afraid.
If you speak, you won't die.
Tell us everything you know, Ms. Sarah.
My Sovereign.
Tell us such valuable things that can keep you alive.
Think about it.
What information do you have to share in exchange for your life?
Yes, Pasha.
Sultan, terrible news.
A flare gun was fired from Celal's boat.
It is red.
The boat is sinking, my Sovereign.
We are sinking, help us quickly!
We are here!
Come here!
Come here, we are sinking!
Our goods are heavy. Take them first.
Hurry! Hurry!
Move there.
We cannot take you. Our load is heavy.
The weapons.
I have to swim.
I have to take the weapons.
Come on, young men.
Send a yellow signal so we understand you're safe.
Come on!
Tell me, son.
My Sovereign, unfortunately, the boat...
...sank.
What?
Nobody survived.
No matter how it appears...
...this, too, will pass.
I am in fact very sorry, Mr. Herzl.
I'm devastated. -Why?
How many more will die...
...because of this Abdülhamid?
Look.
Our son Celal...
He was a lion.
Mr. Herzl.
If it weren't for Abdülhamid...
...our son Celal would be alive.
It is all Abdülhamid's fault.
I admire the way your mind works, Mahmut Pasha.
You are always able to see things from different perspectives.
And each perspective has a pure, innocent Mahmut Pasha.
Mr. Herzl.
Are you saying I am not innocent?
I gave the weapons to Abdülhamid.
If Abdülhamid could not keep the weapons with him...
...why is it my fault?
Although I find these metal piles far away from delicate...
...they are still the best way to solve problems.
These weapons, Mr. Herzl...
When the Armenians take these weapons...
...you will see the real chaos then.
The Armenians will invade the capital.
I'll get our money.
And...
...I will stop the bloodshed...
...and end the invasion in the capital.
Do you think...
...they will call me "the conqueror", too?
The Bank Conqueror Mahmut Pasha.
The Bank Conqueror?
Come on, Mr. Herzl.
You can do better.
Dig.
Dig deeper.
Bury!
The bullet that pierced a hole in a brave man's coat.
Bury.
Now that brave man doesn't even have a grave.
Bury it.
Now you're burying a coat.
If you don't become a proper man...
...you will bury our State some day.
Bury it.
