Sabahaddin.
Let's find you a good tailor.
For the wedding.
I'm very serious, son.
Whether you like it or not, this marriage will come true.
This marriage nonsense has been going on for too long.
I don't want to talk about this issue any more.
For the comfort of our home and our ruling family.
This marriage will take place, Sabahaddin.
Aren't you tired of saying the same thing, mother?
Sit down, don't annoy me.
You left me no other way.
And what is your way?
What will you do?
Instead of entering into a marriage I don't want at all...
...I will flee to Europe.
And you will handle the rest.
Flee, Sabahaddin, flee.
Don't wait, what are you waiting for?
Go to the Europe you love and stay without money...
...be miserable until you're back to your senses!
You will be done, son.
You will be consumed in foreign countries.
Go see with your own eyes how hard life is.
Mother.
All right. Don't get angry right away.
But don't you have to understand me a little?
This marriage will take place, son. There is no other choice.
Fine, fine.
I agree.
I will marry Makbule.
But she can never be my wife.
Never.
I have to solve this issue no matter what.
What is it? Of course, if it is not a State secret.
We took the people in the Ottoman bank hostages, but...
...Abdülhamid took the Queen of England hostage.
How?
Our Queen couldn't wake up this morning.
Despite all attempts.
But she is alive.
I could not relate this to Abdülhamid.
There is such news in the newspapers.
The company by the name "Payitaht"...
...which found the drug for our Queen's insomnia...
...is promoting for a new drug.
This advertisement is in all newspapers.
Even in our newspaper.
The medical prescription for insomnia for the royal family.
The secret is 300 years old.
-What is this? -Do not you understand?
A royal family drug becomes an advertisement for the newspapers.
These are secrets hidden in the royal palace.
And the name of the company...
...that submitted the advertisement is "Payitaht".
Abdülhamid captured all the English people.
And in one move.
Don't speak as if there is no other heir to the Queen.
The United Kingdom has never experienced such a threat.
Don't forget that our Queen is not only a monarch.
In our colonies there are those who worship her...
...and even those who think that she is immortal.
We have to go to the palace immediately.
England wants us to do whatever Abdülhamid wants.
What Abdülhamid will ask is clear.
The bank raid will end and the streets will calm down.
Your Queen means nothing to the Russian Empire.
I don't know about the bank raid.
But street rebellions will not stop.
Russian ships will not return.
They will be in the strait at the first violent move.
If you do one move without us knowing...
...if you command your ships while we are in a difficult situation...
...we are the ones who will blow up your ships before Abdülhamid.
Sultan Abdülhamid...
...while sitting in his palace...
...is making two super powers fight in this room.
And you both fall into his game.
You must know what's going on.
I know that the revolt of the Armenians was caused...
...by the provocation of the English and the Russians.
No matter how hard I try...
...to keep the Greek community away from these issues...
...there are those who believe these lies, my Sovereign.
We need your loyalty to your State more than ever.
The Ottoman Empire is our State, my Sovereign.
You appointed me to this job.
I will not betray your kindness.
I wish Patriarch İzmirliyan was like you, too.
But he chose treason.
Even if the newspapers say...
...he got what he asked for...
...I don't believe that you've done such a thing, my Sovereign.
I know you.
And I called you here because you know me.
I appoint you as the acting Armenian Patriarchate.
And until the Armenian community elects...
...you will control the matter.
As you command, my Sovereign.
And also there is this "saint declaration" in Christianity...
What is it, Patriarch Effendi?
We proclaim the great people of our religion saint after their death.
But when they die, they must die in pain.
So you will say that you will declare Patriarch İzmirliyan a saint.
But this man has done all the bad things in his life.
How can we declare him saint?
You have valid reasons.
Did you not say that he must suffer when he dies?
The people know that İzmirliyan died like this.
But this is not enough.
He must show miracles after his death as well.
Don't think about that.
This campaign will save our State from the situation it is in.
If you say so, our job is to follow all of your orders, my Sovereign.
I will announce that he will be declared saint.
Gentlemen.
How do you give a statement...
...on behalf of me to the newspapers without my knowledge?!
Mahmud Pasha.
Leave these worn out fears and this mindset.
Trust us.
Everything will be fine again.
Have you lost your mind?
In the newspaper...
...I say that we, as a State, will kill the Armenian demonstrators!
Have you gone crazy?
When Abdülhamid heard about it...
...he took me to his carpentry like a piece of oak!
He is about to carve me up!
Do not worry.
The English took the world behind them.
And they are coming to occupy the Ottoman Empire.
Mahmud Pasha, Abdülhamid can no longer even slap you.
Have you lost your mind?
How cruel you infidels are!
You threw me into the cage in front of the lion.
And now you are watching with great fun and laughing.
But you never knew Mahmud Pasha.
Never.
I will go and report this Patriarch...
...sitting here stuffing food in his mouth.
I will say he is alive.
And the Armenians who would feel deceived would raid this place.
And they will kill you all.
Enough, Mahmud Pasha!
Sit here.
Let's talk quietly.
Mahmud Pasha, Mr. Zaharoff is right.
Would you sit down please?
We didn't want to leave you in trouble.
Just with that statement you made...
...we have spread the news that the Armenian protesters...
...will be dispersed by the State by force.
Even those far from the rebellion...
...go to the region in groups.
And what do I do?
I got caught between two fires.
Abdülhamid wants me to refute my statement at once.
Yes, we know.
You called some journalists to the palace.
But I have not yet refuted, Mr. Herzl.
That news...
...will never be refuted.
Mr. Zaharoff.
It's easy to escape to the bottom of a cave like you.
...and giving a speech to the armies in the arena.
As a result, you are not the one at risk.
It's me!
There is no bargaining, Mahmud Pasha.
You will tell reporters that you will demonstrate...
...the violent of the State...
...again and more frighteningly.
Otherwise, we might be done.
But you will definitely be done.
It's taking too long.
And we haven't talked about anything until this time.
Calm down, we're almost done.
When that safe is opened...
...we'll have the power we have never dreamed of before.
If the British did not send out a fleet to the capital.
...we will not have gained anything.
The money and the bonds in that safe won't do us any good.
Money is not important.
The money and the bonds will go to Herzl for his bank.
But if we get the names of the Indian Muslims...
...that are in that safe...
...then we make the bargain we want with the British.
-I'm going downstairs -No Ahsen, gangsters are everywhere.
They will kill you.
I have to find the safe.
Calm down, don't worry, wait for me here.
You bear all this hardship.
You must have a great profit in these matters.
I don't care about money, women, or position.
I am nourished by blood and death, I find life whenever I kill.
It is a way of live.
Who do you think you are?
Like I'm burning with your love!
Your father tried to kill me.
Should I accept that I become your wife?
Just like my mom made.
Mom!
Only you can save me from this hell.
You are the only solution to my problem.
Makbule!
My daughter!
What did you do, my daughter? Makbule, what happened?
Makbule!
Call the doctor right now, right now!
What have you done, my daughter?
You said you would like to see our Padişah.
Yes, at once if possible.
Did you come to say your new terms?
No, I came to apologize.
I would like to meet him immediately, if possible.
Unfortunately, our Padişah is a very busy person.
I can't see your clerks with you.
Clerks?
Based on the friendship established between us...
...our meeting took place without the clerks until today.
But things have changed.
First of all, you'll bring your clerk with you.
Each meeting will be recorded.
I will call him immediately.
No need to hurry.
But there is a reason for us, Pasha. Please.
Unfortunately.
Wait.
I was reading this book.
It's about an incident in the era of Köprülü Mehmet Pasha.
About what?
Köprülü Pasha, who heard the encrypted...
...communication of a French ambassador from Venice...
...and summons him.
Even if the ambassador stalls and says he didn't do it...
...he gets a good beating.
Then they imprison him in the cells of the Seven Towers.
Read.
You are the one who made me spoil my repentance...
...and my great oath, Asım Usta.
Repentance is for sin.
The oath is for the sake of truth.
But whoever spoils it...
...and takes penance behind his back...
...is the torment of the cruel.
Welcome, Fırtınalı.
There is a mountain to climb, are you ready?
We are ready to go where Allah commands us, Ferman Agha.
We're ready to roar, but why does the weather change like this?
We want comfort in our home and with our neighbour.
But the infidels do not stop.
Armenian rascals have gathered the dogs, gangsters, and thieves...
...and they are coming.
And the masters of the cross provoke them more and more.
The danger is much greater now.
They became our neighbors, brothers and friends.
And now they are coming to war with malice.
We don't know from where, how and by whom will this enemy emerge.
But our religion, our Caliph, and our State...
...is under threat.
Show us the way.
Let's go.
Great.
Armenian demonstrations in the capital continues at full speed.
The flame of the capital burns from Anatolia, Herzl.
Anatolia.
Yes, its turn will come too.
Herzl.
You Zionist Jews...
You always complain about injustice.
But I have never seen you rebel.
We are the head of the war.
And not its feet.
The wind changed direction, gentlemen.
We'll stop blowing on fire.
Abdülhamid cornered the Queen of England.
We are about to be checkmated.
I don't understand chess, Sarah.
Speak clearly.
The bank raid is about to end.
We'll collect our stuff and withdraw.
How is this? How did this happen?
The Queen is on her deathbed.
And her life depends on Abdülhamid.
If Abdülhamid grabbed the Queen's horns...
...we cannot breathe.
It's all over, so it's over.
What is this nonsense?!
Will all this planning go to waste?
What is my business with England and its Queen?
I want Israel!
Come on, Herzl.
You are not child in a toy store.
We are talking about England.
And the honour of England is its Queen.
A woman who can't even stand on her feet.
She can't be my honour and my matter, Sarah.
My issue is clear.
Money, the Bank, and Israel.
Everyone started moving the way they want.
And I'm going to make my own move.
What is his move?
Hiram.
History is the science of lies, Sarah.
The Zionist Theodor Herzl.
Who knows how they will make him a hero in history.
Miserable.
Humanity wants a story.
And we narrate, Zaharoff.
Forgiveness of Allah.
-What do you see? -Patriarch İzmirliyan.
He is alive on the wall.
Forgiveness of Allah.
Show a picture of İzmirliyan on the wall of churches...
...in the special areas.
What do we hope from this plan, my Sovereign?
A miracle.
The safe is about to open. Go and tell Hiram.
Stop, what are you looking for here?
You.
My Şehzade.
Come in, please, please.
Our Sovereign said something, Pasha.
It keeps ringing in my ears.
What did he say, my Şehzade?
Either the State makes it, or we become a carcass for the ravens!
He implied something.
But that is not about you.
Rather, it is related to Abdülkadir Effendi.
Pasha, I know.
The job was referred to my brother.
But I'd like to go.
To end the raid on the Armenians.
Even if I don't end it...
...to show that I'm not afraid to sacrifice myself.
I'd like to go.
My Şehzade.
You know that even if you have a rank...
...you are a student.
And your teachers in your school are responsible for you.
I know, Pasha, I know, but...
...my brother refuses to go.
In that case, it's his test.
But if our sultan wanted you to go...
...he would have said it in another way.
Do not worry.
Your concern is great, Abdülkadir.
I'd walk with you too...
...but I like to deal with the issue in desperate moments.
What happened, Sabahaddin?
I'm getting married.
Is that what you mean by dealing with the issue?
It can be said that I am running away.
This is what my mother wants.
But that Makbule would never be my wife, never.
Anyway.
I'm going to solve my problem somehow, but...
...what will you do?
Didn't we talk?
I'm not going.
I think you should go, brother.
You weren't thinking my going was right.
What changed your mind?
When I spoke to my mother...
...I realized that their grief was unnecessary.
Standing in front of them is useless.
And what will happen if you don't go?
Can't our Sovereign order his pasha?
I think you should go, brother.
I will not stand against freedom lovers, Sabahaddin.
You know that.
Come on, come on.
Come on.
Ahsen?
Ömer!
Where is Patriarch İzmirliyan Effendi?
Did they not burn him?
But he told me in my dream to come.
He said come to church.
The great saint.
I am grateful that you accepted to meet me, my Sovereign.
The reason for your visit?
Queen Victoria.
She is in a difficult situation.
Is she now?
What is her status?
She couldn't wake up this morning.
She must have been very tired.
Of course.
Although it is not her job...
...her interest in the internal affairs of other countries tires.
We believe you can find a cure.
Newspapers write that a company in the name "Payitaht"...
...has discovered a drug to wake up those who in deep sleep.
But we could not find such a company.
Perhaps in these lands...
...where scholars such as Avicenna, Al-Razi, Hızır Pasha were raised...
...there are different treatment methods than yours as well.
Now that the company's name is "Payitaht".
However, you must stop the Queen...
...from activities that exhaust her.
You will withdraw your hands.
Otherwise, sleep leads to death!
I do not know what to say.
I will say and you will obey.
The raid will end.
The hostages will be released.
Your ships will return to where they came from.
The Armenian rebellion in the street will stop.
As you command.
But we do not control the Armenian rebellion--
So you accept that you have something to do with the bank raid?
Record it.
You finish the raid...
...and we will solve the issue of rebellion.
Let him sign.
When the incident ends...
...you will let London know that you resigned.
I swear in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...
...thta my father saw Patriarch İzmirliyan in the church.
My grandfather saw him, too.
He appeared on the wall and then disappeared.
I knew he was different while he was alive.
He turned my husband into a good man after he talked to him.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Sultan Abdülhamid Han said that...
...he appointed the Greek Patriarch...
...as the representative of Christians...
...after the death of Armenian Patriarch İzmirliyan.
This will continue until a new Patriarch is elected.
Without waiting, the Greek Patriarch will organize rites in an open space.
Just as you Armenians will meet in those rites...
The Armenian Patriarch İzmirliyan will be declared as a saint.
Patriarch İzmirliyan will have his status back.
Saint İzmirliyan.
My Sovereign.
The journalists came at the invitation of Mahmud Pasha.
Be with him.
Pay close attention to what he will say and not say.
My Sovereign, did Mahmud Pasha really say that?
Since newspapers are distributed...
...it doesn't matter what he said or didn't say.
The important thing is whether he is going to refute it or not.
My lord.
Also, Burhaneddin Effendi wants to go to the Armenian district.
What about Abdülkadir?
I guess he won't go.
If he's running away from the field when his country needs him...
...he will not be able to find his State next to him...
...when he needs it.
Don't talk to Abdülkadir Effendi.
If he goes...
...he will remain a Şehzade.
If he does not go, then we will wipe him from the State's book.
How is she?
She is bad my Sultana, the burn affected her veins.
We must be careful.
My daughter.
Do you have a request?
Mom.
Say, my daughter.
I had told my mom.
She and my brother were coming from the Caucasus.
They were staying with my relatives in Eyup.
I want to see them a lot.
Don't worry, my daughter.
I will bring your mother here.
Find Makbule's family at once and bring them to the palace.
Move quickly.
And here comes the executioner's guard.
Where are you, Sabahaddin?
Pasha.
Will you start?
Abdülkadir, will you go or not?
Dear friends.
Welcome all.
I greet you.
The reason why I invited you here is...
Is...
Yes.
Our country is in a difficult situation, that's right.
I mean, certain problems...
...and some chaos.
Pasha.
This country...
...is in difficult circumstances...
I mean...
Chaos...
Pasha.
Before this talk, there is something we all wonder about.
It is said that the Ottomans will suppress this rebellion by force.
And it's you who stated it.
Yes.
In a newspaper...
And I will address the issue of freedom of thought...
...in the newspaper later.
İnşallah, we will all explain it separately...
Pasha.
Did you say what was published in this newspaper or not?
Are you not a lawyer, mister?
In fact, I wondered a lot why you were interested in this issue.
Mahmud Pasha.
Let's leave the discussion, and move on to your statement.
Okay.
Yes.
As for the words in the newspaper...
It's, it's...
It is...
Dear friends.
This news published in the newspaper...
...is completely a lie!
Slander!
Conspiracy!
Those who think...
...they are journalists by spreading fake news...
...are a disgrace to this profession!
Whoever published something I have never said...
...those who wrote and published what I've never said...
...are despicable, ignoble filth!
Our State...
...has never thought of taking military action!
The Ottoman Empire embraced the Armenians...
...with compassion and love...
...and always stood by them, and will continue to do so.
Those who published these fake news...
...and those who print them in newspapers...
...they must deny this immediately!
And they must post it tonight...
...and announce the facts to the people!
I make it clear once again...
...that I have nothing to do with these false statements...
...and thank you all for coming.
Tahsin Pasha.
Come inside, come inside.
Where have you been, son?
I almost accepted my statement.
I could hardly come, father.
Come to kiss you on your forehead, come.
You did well.
You were able to convince Abdülkadir then.
Unfortunately, I could not.
-You could not! -I could not.
No! If you weren't my son...
...I knew what to do with you, but...
My ears are about to go off, father.
As long as you couldn't convince him...
...why did you signal me at the conference, as if you did?!
Father, I couldn't convince him, but I thought you would.
I took the initiative, and I acted.
You trusted me!
I trusted you.
I will convince him.
If I can't, that means I'm dead.
Then you will be without a father and bear the responsibility.
You will see when you have support the family!
I don't understand father, I don't understand.
Why do we want Abdülkadir to go there to such a degree?
We want.
But I can't tell you.
Because you will try to stop me.
I will convince Abdülkadir.
But one last parental advice from me to you.
Did you take what Abdülkadir owes to you?
No, I didn't take it.
Take it, my stupid son, take it.
Take it.
My ears hurt.
Sultana, how is my daughter's health?
She is not okay.
My poor daughter.
Doctors don't talk hopefully...
...but we have to act with caution.
We did what was needed.
Now we have to wait.
Allah bless you.
My Sultana, how did it happen?
An accident.
Come on, we can see our daughter Makbule.
Please, go in.
Baby girl, my soul.
Don't get up, lie down.
My dear daughter, my precious.
Would we meet like this? In this situation?
Mom, don't worry, I'm fine.
It's good that you came, I missed you so much.
-Welcome -Thank you.
How is your health?
I am fine, thank Allah.
What happened, my little girl? How did you get burned like this?
I did it myself.
They will marry me to the Pasha's son.
They will marry you?!
At first I thought it wouldn't happen.
But even have a trousseau prepared for me.
The matter is very serious.
And I couldn't stand it.
I boiled water and burned my arm.
I couldn't find a solution other than this to see you.
And what are we going to do?
We have to find a solution.
Whom do we go to, from whom do we get help?
There is a Pasha named Mehmed Pasha.
I got sick some time ago.
When I was lying in the hospital, he waited at my bedside.
Find him and tell him the situation.
Okay, don't worry.
Mehmed Pasha is the brother of Sultana Bidar.
He will tell her about it.
Nobody but Sultana Bidar will help us.
Mom.
Why did you enter this poor world of mine?
Why did you spoil my calm, Ahsen?
Why do you look like that? Are you going to say something?
No, I thought I heard a voice.
Your tongue does not speak.
What about your heart? Does he also not say anything, Ömer?
I can't bear to see your beauty, Ahsen.
Don't stand near me.
The fire of my heart scatters sparks.
My heart is completely open, Ömer.
Look carefully if you like, I have no weapon, no trap.
Come when you wish to the one you want the most.
Ahsen.
Say Ömer.
Your religion will be your lover, your State and your nation as well.
There will be no other love.
Only they will enter your heart.
Come on, you go upstairs.
If your absence is noticed, they will come here.
