Look at me.
Patriarch Effendi.
You're not cheating, are you?
If I do, that's fine. I'm a weapons dealer.
But this act is not appropriate for you.
You're a cleric.
Allah sees, I can't.
Do you see the Patriarch for the first time?
Everyone is talking about the Patriarch.
Of course, they should.
He is a miserable, burned body.
No, Mr. Zaharoff, it's not like that.
A lot of people say that they have seen Patriarch Effendi.
In the church, at the inn, and in the bath.
Here and there.
It's argued that he is a saint.
This one?
It's very serious.
The Greek Patriarch is about to declare...
...this İzmirliyan Effendi a saint.
He's thinking about organizing the rituals outdoors.
Night rituals are organized for me.
I have to be there.
But if you show up...
...you may be a miracle in yourselves.
If God wants, everything may happen.
Miracle, he says!
Look at me.
You're not going to go and do some flips there.
Don't even try profiting from this saint thing.
Otherwise, I'll ruin you.
They'll realize you're alive.
And that will ruin the whole plan.
Why did you summon me, my dear Lord?
The raid will end.
How so?
But we're at the end of it.
You've come to the end.
And Abdülhamid has finished the matter from the beginning.
England is humid.
Go talk to those who joined the raid.
The Queen's destiny...
...is in the hands of Abdülhamid, Sir Vincent.
If the nightingale didn't prick his heart...
...with the rose's thorn for the sake of his love...
...would the rose be so precious?
If tulip seed...
...did not turn into Ferhat's tears...
...who destroyed mountains for the love of Şirin...
...would his glory be heard all around the world?
Why are you so sad, my Sultana?
Compared to the pain in my heart...
...the flames of seven hells would be spring.
Tell me your troubles, my Sultana.
If necessary, I'm ready to sacrifice my heart for you.
It's about Naime Sultana, Pasha.
Naime is in love with you.
I put the message...
...that you gave to me to Naime's bedside.
She thinks that you too...
...have strong feelings towards her.
What are you saying, Sultana Hatice?
Our Sovereign is aware of the issue now.
He thinks you want to marry Naime.
Why did you do something like that?
That letter was meant for you, not Naime!
I know.
But I wanted to see if you would fight for your love or not, Pasha.
I will fight, my Sultana.
I'm going to fight.
I'm not going to talk.
My Şehzade.
Sabahaddin told me.
You are throwing your future into the fire.
What fire, Pasha?
Abdülhamid Han gave you a hint.
But you said you weren't going.
How can you do that?
What's wrong with you, Pasha?
You both want me to go so much!
Of course, we do, my Şehzade.
Think about it. I mean...
The sword is unsheathed.
It is at the throat of our State.
Our State asks and hopes for your help...
...but you...
How can you not go to help the State...
...and turn your eye away from what's going on?
Mahmud Pasha!
Quit these fake behaviors.
I'm not going.
All right.
Don't go.
Burhaneddin Effendi...
...wants to go even though he has no responsibility...
...risking everything.
But you're not going.
Then don't complain about Abdülhamid...
...for putting Burhaneddin Effendi on a pedestal.
Is Burhaneddin going?
Herzl.
Every time I look at you, with all my sincere feelings...
...I feel deeply saddened for your situation.
You weren't a person who wastes his time...
...with things like this before.
I'm suffering because of my ideas, but it's enough.
I am a world-renowned writer.
I've been involved in these issues a lot, I'm aware of that.
Your awareness of some things...
...is quite a satisfying thing.
You know, I lost all the savings of Jews in the stock market.
I'm afraid that Zionists might dismiss me from the chair.
Have you heard any news related to this?
Something that might attract your attention.
I only talk about the money you've lost...
...with people who ask about you.
I just can't talk about the rest.
You might go down in history...
...as the first Jew who lost money in the stock market.
Please shut up, Carasso.
I'll get back everything I've lost.
I was at Yıldız today.
Mahmud Pasha invited and gathered...
...the editors and announced a declaration.
About the news you published in the newspapers.
-What did he say? -He said exactly like this.
"Those who publish things that I didn't say in the papers...
...claiming to be writers...
...are ignoble filth."
But of course, don't consider it as a personal insult.
Herzl.
I hope you know what you're doing Mahmud Pasha.
This is going to come to an end.
Vacate the bank.
What are you saying?!
I spoke to the English Ambassador.
The decision is conclusive.
Look at me.
I didn't come here with the order of the English.
And I'm not quitting because they say so, okay?
Mr. Parvus has agreed to the situation.
The bank will be vacated. There is no other way.
Did you hear, Karakin?
They left us alone again.
Aren't you going to say anything?
I have nothing left to do.
What the English say will happen.
The lives of the Armenians will be saved.
And we're going to get out of here safe and sound...
...and leave the Ottoman Empire.
You never had a plan other than running away.
No.
In my opinion, it is possible.
We can take you by my personal boat.
I'm going to go talk about this matter with the Sultan.
I am saying this to both of you.
Make the necessary preparation right away...
...and put an end to this matter.
Come on.
Read all about it!
Herzl.
If you apply your smart plans to all your life...
...maybe you'll be able to establish a State!
The second plan has begun.
Go and check if they have opened the vault.
Now things are starting to get fun.
I talked to those at the bank.
They accepted to end the raid.
It's good for them that they woke up...
...at the last breath of their lives.
But they have a condition.
What is it?
Because they think their lives are not safe in the capital...
...they want to apply to take refuge in France...
...and appear in court there.
If a fair judgment will be given to them in France...
...I accept.
This agreement has pleased us a lot.
Our Queen was getting worse and worse by time.
Your order in this regard--
We will do what we have to do.
We'll find the company named "Payitaht".
Do not worry.
The English State is grateful to you, my Sovereign.
Thank you.
I thank you on behalf of all the English people.
I do thank you.
There's one last thing.
Name it.
There's a man called Hiram...
...among the rebelling Armenians in the bank.
Although the Armenian gangs...
...have accepted the agreement...
...Hiram insists.
Therefore, I'd like to note that we completely disclaim...
...all responsibility for whatever he might do.
Hiram.
Tell me, what's your request?
Pasha, Makbule sent me.
We have a problem.
What is it, what's the problem?
We'll do everything we can. Sure, tell me.
Makbule had an accident.
What happened? How did it happen?
She poured a hot sherbet on her arm.
Sultana Seniha called us.
I hope she'll get better soon.
How is her health?
Fine, thanks to Allah.
But that's not all.
So what is it?
Then tell me the important point.
Don't be shy.
Tell me your problem so we can find a solution.
Pasha.
Makbule is my fiancée.
What are you saying?
It was a while ago.
They came to enroll me for my military service.
I was to go to a battlefield near the Caucasus.
Makbule heard that.
She registered herself as a maid in the palace.
She claimed me as her brother.
You know, brothers of people who serve at the palace...
...are not enrolled for military service.
We're not siblings.
She was afraid that I might die and not come back...
...so she made such a plan.
What does it mean to run away from the military service?
Aren't you the son of this nation?
Pasha, I wasn't aware of this matter.
I heard about it later.
When I went to enroll, they didn't take me.
If I had known, I wouldn't let Makbule do such a thing.
I'd sacrifice a thousand lives to my State.
All right!
What do you want from me?
They want to marry Makbule to a son of one of the Pashas.
She doesn't want this marriage.
She is helpless.
Makbule wants you to talk with Sultana Bidar about this issue.
You can't convince me with well water.
Quit pretending you're a saint.
Herzl!
Have you finished your job?
The bank raid is about to end. But we'll come out with a profit.
I gave Hiram the necessary orders.
He's going to get out of there...
...with the money and the list of insurgents in India.
And as long as we have that list...
...we can enter any type of bargaining with the English.
Let's see, then.
And I've heard extraordinary stories about the Patriarch Effendi.
Please close this topic.
Don't let him feel special. He might run away.
He might give us trouble to be declared saint.
Basically, he can't stay here any longer.
Mahmud Pasha refuted his statement in the newspapers.
Armenian rebellion may end any moment.
Well well, Mahmud Pasha.
So has chose his side and sold us.
In my opinion, let's not exaggerate it.
We don't have time to mess with each other.
That's the point, Herzl.
That means Mahmud Pasha manipulates both sides.
The cause of all the failures you've experienced till this day...
...is starting to be clearer.
Where are you going?
Basil Zaharoff...
...decided to dig a grave for Mahmud Pasha.
I'm going to Abdülhamid.
Patriarch Effendi.
Open your eyes.
And listen to Basil Zaharoff.
Don't go after that nonsense of becoming a saint...
...and try to escape.
I'll catch you...
...and shoot you in the head...
...right in front of your community.
Mr. Zaharoff!
Where are you going?
To Sultan Abdülhamid.
Excellent.
Then you'll have coffee together.
After telling him about the weapons you took off the boat...
...and the intrigues you've started...
...and the fires that you ignited...
...our Sultan will probably offer me with something.
But, Mr. Zaharoff.
Aren't we friends?
Does a man do this to his friend?
After you refuted the statement in the newspapers...
...you've made your side clear, Pasha.
From now on, you're the enemy of Basil Zaharoff.
Mr. Zaharoff.
This is the difference between you and me.
You're two steps back.
I am always two steps ahead.
Can I tell you something honestly?
I love myself so much.
The Sultan will measure your steps.
And your height, too.
But don't do this, Mr. Zaharoff.
I have something to tell you,
While you want to crush me under your feet...
...you're going to put me on your head as a crown.
Come on, let's go inside.
If you're going to tell me a story...
...I'll shoot you!
Don't complain later.
Come on, Mr. Zaharoff.
Is there any news, son?
We're still digging, my Sovereign.
But until this time--
Your brother...
Hamza.
And now our son Ömer.
These traitors are hungry...
...for the blood of our children raised by our State.
They are fed with blood.
Do you know the weasel Hiram?
I know him, my Sovereign.
Soldier!
Take this gun.
It's got binoculars.
Hiram's at the bank.
You're going to shoot him on sight.
You will calculate the wind's direction very well.
As you command, my Sovereign.
The bullet is a dangerous traveler, my son.
You can't know where its journey will end.
It could hurt an innocent soul.
Pulling the trigger is easy.
But what's important is controlling the bullet.
Practice.
Don't kill any innocent.
His brother was a soldier in the Söğüt regiment.
He was honored with the rank of being a martyr.
His mother told him not to stay there.
She sent him right after his brother.
She sacrificed one of her two sons for the State.
She did not hesitate to send the other.
She gave half her heart.
And she handed the other half over to us.
Only...
...for our State, that has ruled for ages...
...not to be crushed by oppressors.
Abdülkadir, my son.
I'd like you to understand this story well.
Understand it with your heart and soul.
Herzl.
Where's the Patriarch?
I don't know, he was here.
-Not here. He was tricked. -What trick?
Now he will appear as a saint.
And Abdülhamid will make them arrest him.
The buffoon thinks he is going to be a saint.
Perfect news.
Actually, even people fleeing from us...
...make moves that benefit us without realizing.
What's your plan, Pasha?
Talk, either I'll calm down or I'll go completely crazy.
Mr. Zaharoff, Mr. Herzl.
I refuted my statement to the newspapers...
...about the State eliminating Armenian rebels by force.
So you bungled the job.
Quite the opposite.
This is going to cause the English, French and even the Russians...
...to come here and occupy the Ottoman Empire.
How so?
The thing is that...
...Abdülhamid sent his two Şehzades to the demonstrations.
When Armenians see the Şehzades next to them...
...they're going to soften.
This move will impress them.
But the Patriarch will also go to the rituals that night.
When they see that the Patriarch is not dead...
...the Armenian rebellion will be over at the same moment.
Won't it?
Imagine that carefully.
Şehzades will go to the rituals to night.
And the Patriarch appears there.
And he declares his sainthood.
The soldiers who see this will arrest the Patriarch.
And this will be ended, as they will be believing.
So?
Yes, Mr. Zaharoff.
Think about it. Think deeply.
If an Ottoman officer sees the Patriarch Effendi...
...if he sees and kills the Patriarch Effendi...
...what will happen?
It's going to be great.
Absolutely.
It's going to be great.
And the Armenians who'll witness the murder of their Patriarch...
...will lynch the Şehzades.
Just like they did to the soldiers.
No one will find their bodies. -Absolutely.
When Abdülhamid learns his Şehzades have been killed...
...he will destroy all the Armenians.
He will wipe them off.
Even grass will not grow in that neighborhood.
Then, welcome the English!
You're a special man among men.
And the king of all Pashas.
Come on!
With this plan, the spirit of the Crusades will rise up again...
...and hit its deadly blow.
Then, goodbye Caliph.
Very clever! Very!
What is the status of the Patriarch İzmirliyan?
We're waiting.
What are they waiting for?
When's the night of the ritual?
This evening.
It seems the Greek Patriarch...
...gave up on declaring İzmirliyan a saint.
What's up? Was his sainthood a lie?
It was just a fabrication of the dreamy Armenians.
I wasn't really convinced...
...that İzmirliyan Effendi would be a saint.
I agree. He was a no good man.
I have to show up before my sainthood goes to waste.
Strike while the iron is hot.
What are you doing, Patriarch Effendi?
You're going to ruin us all?
My lambs are waiting for me. I'm a saint!
Come on, go!
Pasha.
My Sultana.
I hope you're alright and your health is fine.
Thank Allah, I'm fine.
I wanted to talk to you, too.
I'm listening, Pasha.
The issue of marriage.
I mean... My Sultana.
This issue is quite vague for me.
What do you mean by that, Pasha?
Why did you answer my letter then?
Why did you give me hope?
I opened my heart to you with that letter.
I revealed my true feelings.
And you answered.
What's wrong with you?
However...
What's up, brother?
You're so anxious.
I'm afraid to ask you what it is.
But tell me. İnşallah it is good.
No, sister.
I don't know if it's good or not.
The issue is a little different this time.
What is it?
Tell me, and let's hope it'll be good.
Makbule.
What about Makbule?
She poured a hot sherbet on her arm and was badly injured.
My poor daughter.
How is her health? -She's fine.
Sultana Seniha called her family.
Both her mother and her brother came.
She thought well.
They must have fulfilled their longing.
Her brother came to me.
So?
Actually, he's not Makbule's brother.
He's her fiancé.
What are you saying, Mehmet?
What fiancé?
He is.
He told me that in order to keep him home...
...and prevent him from going to the military...
...Makbule made a plan and entered the palace...
...so that he would be exempt from military service.
No. This is Seniha's game.
I understand she can't get rid of the marriage,
So, she found such a way out for herself.
That Seniha!
Do your games never end?
I don't think so, sister.
In my opinion, he's telling the truth.
If that's the case, tell that young man I want to talk with him, too.
Father.
We're going to get the bank back, complete the preparations.
As you command, Pasha.
Father.
There's something.
It's very important to me.
And I'm trying to find a solution...
...as much as my mind can.
But I can't find one. I'd like to tell you about it.
Tell me, son.
What's on your mind?
Our Sovereign thinks I want to marry Sultana Naime.
Our Sovereign heard a wrong version of the subject.
Besides, Sultana Naime wants this marriage.
But my heart wants Hatice.
I can't find my direction at this crossroads, father.
Both roads are dark.
And I can't see what's ahead of me.
Listen, son.
You have to choose a route.
Either you turn away from your Sultan...
...quit your job as a Pasha.
...and get married with Sultana Hatice...
Or bury your love in your heart...
...and never show it to the face of light again...
...and marry Naime.
Then you won't fail to serve the State.
As a good pasha, you'll do your job.
But why, father?
Son.
If you have a job as Pasha...
...and if you're my son...
...if you get married...
...with Murad Effendi's daughter Sultana Hatice...
...it will cause trouble in the State.
Everyday, you'll hear gossip...
...about you wanting to see Murad Effendi on the throne again.
They'll imply that you're planning to overthrow our Sultan.
And you can't handle that.
Who knows, maybe in the future, even if you don't want to do so...
...you might do something like that.
-Father. -Son.
Either you'll turn your back to your Sultan...
...or accept your destiny.
Tell me, son.
It was said that you were Makbule's fiancé.
Let me hear about it from you, too.
My Sultana, Makbule and I...
...loved each other since childhood.
We were about to get married.
Allah is my witness...
...my only wish in this world...
...is to make Makbule happy.
But I received some news.
They called me for my military service.
Makbule got worried.
And she made a plan.
I was going to enroll, of course.
It is our duty to the State.
It is above all love and affection.
After that... -Okay, okay.
Okay, that's enough.
Did Sultana Seniha send you?
Forgive me, my Sultana.
But I couldn't understand.
My son.
Son, prepare yourself...
...and go back wherever you came from.
As you command, my Sultana.
Come, my beautiful daughter.
What happened, daughter? Why are you sad?
What that young man said was real, mother.
He was speaking quite honestly.
He was saying every word with his heart.
Love is unconditional, mother.
And that young man spoke accordingly.
The decision is yours, of course.
But breaking up the lovers...
...for your own ambitions is a big sin.
You're right, my beautiful daughter.
Maybe...
But the decision is made.
But it's not too late for anything, mother.
You may open the door to a very good deed.
What if I was in that girl's place?
Your words are true, my beautiful daughter.
You're right.
My Sovereign.
Şehzade Abdülkadir is getting ready to go to the square.
He will be leading the soldiers.
My Sovereign.
Burhaneddin Effendi said...
...that he wanted to be leading the soldiers...
...even if it cost him...
...losing his chance at the school.
Both Şehzades are getting ready to go to the Armenian district.
Thank Allah.
In the end, our Şehzade Abdülkadir remembered his duty.
They'll both move with their units.
They'll be there at the ritual time.
However, as you imagined...
...even if the Patriarch goes there...
...how are they going to find him?
Will our Şehzades recognize him?
My Şehzades job is to appear in the square, Pasha.
In that case, let's do our job, too.
What's the situation? Did they accept our terms?
Yes.
The agreement is finalized.
We're pitting an end to the plan.
Your plan is ending, not mine.
You'll stay with me.
My ritual is beginning now.
And we shouldn't keep God waiting, should we?
What is it, Sabahaddin?
Father.
What is it, Sabahaddin?
Peace, father.
Peace.
Freedom.
How great you are!
What kind of freedom is that? Put that leg down!
Father.
I'm getting rid of marrying Makbule.
The girl has a fiancé, and she's going.
Really?
The chubby girl is not that naïve at all.
She's not.
What are you doing here?
What is it?
Abdülhamid called me for the Teravih namaz.
Will you go?
Of course not.
I'll perform the sunnah namaz and leave.
Exactly at 10:00, there'll be a big chaos, very big!
There's a big mess, and I don't know about it! What's it?
You know... Your father the Pasha...
...has planned something again.
Did you say goodbye to Abdülkadir?
Don't talk in riddles, father.
Tell me, so I know what's going on.
Şehzade Abdülkadir is no longer among us.
Think like this.
Imagine Şehzade Abdülkadir...
...as deep fried meat or a delicious chicken leg.
And the angry Armenians like starving hyenas.
Now, when this hungry clan of hyenas...
...see the delicious chicken leg...
...can they refrain from attacking?
They can't.
What are you saying, father?
Şehzade Abdülkadir will go to the ritual.
The Patriarch will be there at the ritual.
At that very moment, an Ottoman soldier...
...maybe because of his heresy...
...or his enmity for Christians, or for any unknown reason...
...will kill the Patriarch.
Armenians will see their Patriarch killed.
Will they hold back?
Of course not.
So, they will attack Şehzade Abdülkadir.
At that point, I feel very sad for Şehzade Abdülkadir.
We are fighting for a free Ottoman State.
Abdülkadir is the only freedom loving member...
...of this dynasty.
Stop, Sabahaddin.
Don't get mad that fast.
Listen.
All great ideas...
...entail great prices to be paid.
That's necessary.
Every great scholar has to suffer...
...materially or morally for his great idea.
Abdülkadir can't be the price of this.
I won't let anything happen to him!
It's too late for that.
Plus, get your hands off, too!
Don't make me angry.
I'll go and stop him.
I'm not going to let him be food for those hyenas.
Sabahaddin!
If your life is important for you, you won't go anywhere.
Because when I go to Abdülhamid and tell him his Şehzade is dead...
...Abdülhamid will be enraged and will send his armies!
And those armies will burn that place down!
At that moment, you wouldn't want to be there.
Not at all, Sabahaddin!
