From Makbule.
"My Sultana.
I struggled a lot not to write this letter.
I had promised Mother Sultana.
But the secret that I carry is very heavy on my conscience.
I bless everyone in this palace.
Except for one person.
My power is not enough to punish him in this world.
I wrote this letter so that justice may be served.
The person who tried to kill me is M. H."
Who? Who tried to kill her?
M. H. There is no other letter!
Who?
What happened, my Sultana?
M. Mehmet... Mahmud...
Who? Who is this criminal?
-Get out! -Cautiously!
Drop your weapons! Hands up!
Surround them!
-Get over there! -Drop the weapon, drop it!
Don't put your hand down!
Pasha, Allah bless you!
You have taken the bank back!
May Allah be pleased with our Padişah!
This is thanks to his intelligence!
The devil has escaped!
Look, don't say I didn't tell you!
Ömer loves you madly!
But the important thing is whether you love him or not.
Come Ömer, come!
Come to the voice of the angel of death!
The Patriarch gave up on declaring İzmirliyan saint.
Come Ömer, come! Come to my voice!
I think you shouldn't shoot before you open that door completely!
What?!
Drop that weapon.
Look!
The chair under Melike is attached to this chair.
If I fall...
...or stand up...
The weight on the outside will pull this chair.
And thus the chair under Melike will slip as well!
If you're thinking you're going to run from here to catch her in time...
...I think, don't!
If you notice it's wired.
That wire would cut her neck in an instant!
Now drop your weapon!
What a dishonorable man you are!
Don't be afraid Ahsen, I'll save you.
-You'll be safe-- -Stop!
Don't move, Hiram!
No approaching!
Now.
Give me the notebook you took from the safe!
Look, I will stand up...
...and Melike will die!
Give me the notebook you took from the safe!
Don't, Ömer!
Don't.
I will take back this notebook...
...but I can't get you back!
There is always hope, but for how long?
Now you're going to put that notebook on the floor.
I told you put it.
All right.
Nice.
Now I'll get up from here.
If you move fast...
...you will save Melike.
Deal?
All right.
You are madly in love with each other.
Next time I'll kill you both!
I do not want to part lovers!
Don't talk, man, come on!
You are now finished!
What are you thinking?
When the ritual begins...
...I will go up to the window of this house.
You will point to me from below, saying Patriarch Effendi.
Then, even if the Greek Patriarch does not declare me a saint...
...I will be a saint to the Armenians.
I do not understand.
Why is it so important?
There is nothing the Armenians will not do...
...for a saint who appears every now and then.
Plus, no one can actually kill a dead man!
I'm Iftin.
I'm before you now representing the Greek Patriarch.
For the rites which we shall first arrange in an open space...
First, declare İzmirliyan a saint!
-Yes! -Then we will join your rites!
The Greek Patriarch did not give me such an order.
I did not hear such a Statement.
Şehzades of His Majesty Sultan Abdülhamid Han...
...Abdülkadir and Burhaneddin Effendis, attention!
Look at these sheep!
Even they obey the Ottoman Şehzades!
-We have to act at once. -Wait!
You, two aides!
Come with us, and you stay!
What are you doing?
The orders I have been given are different.
Patriarch İzmirliyan!
He has come to show you his miracles!
Pledge allegiance!
Patriarch Effendi!
Do you look forward to breakfast time before you even have sahur?
The situation is important, Pasha!
No need to joke!
When were the ritual?
It must have started!
Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no!
Open!
A disaster, my Sovereign, a disaster!
We received very important intel!
What happened, Pasha?
My Sovereign, how can I say such a thing? O Allah!
Speak, Pasha!
My Sovereign!
They have set a trap for our Şehzades!
In the chaos that occurred during the Armenian ritual...
...I think our Şehzades were martyred, too!
My Sovereign, the Patriarch is not dead!
He was preparing to appear during the rites!
They will kill him among the rebels...
...so the people attack our Şehzades.
My Sovereign, let's send the army!
Let's send the army so that there are no rebels left!
Let's destroy them!
Nothing will happen to our Şehzades, Pasha!
Those who hope for bloodshed, will be hoping in vain.
My Sovereign, the intel is certain!
They are going to betray us!
We take precautions in all our actions, Pasha.
And then we trust in Allah!
Patriarch Effendi!
Do not worry!
The intel you received came to us, too.
We took precautions.
The Şehzades are the sons of this nation!
We have trusted them to Allah first, and then to our nation.
The trap was not set for my Şehzades, but for our nation!
Our nation is like a storm in foiling those traps, Allah willing!
They think that this nation is lesser.
But when we unite...
...we become more than a lot!
I trust the wisdom of my nation, Pasha.
When they see their Şehzades, hypocrisy will end.
My Sovereign, excuse me.
Abdülkadir is still inexperienced.
As for Burhaneddin, he is too young!
My opinion is to send the army.
When my grandfather the Conqueror...
...ascended the throne, he was 12 years old, Pasha.
When Murad Han IV...
...came to Edirne to attack the Polish at the age of 22...
...the Polish people surrendered without a war out of fear!
Do you know why this nation value the Ottoman dynasty...
...do you know Pasha?
Because they are the founders of the State.
No.
Because they paid a price.
In which State's history there is a martyr padişah?
Which ruler sacrificed his family for the survival of the State?
My Sovereign, those people are blinded with anger.
They will kill our Şehzades.
Allah forbid!
If the Armenians have given up being subjects of this State...
...to the point of killing our Şehzades...
...neither we can stand on our feet...
...nor this State will stand on its feet, Pasha!
Effendis!
We came here by the will of our Sultan...
...his Majesty Abdülhamid Han.
We left our soldiers behind and came...
...because we know that you are members of this nation!
You are its soldiers!
We want the Patriarch! We want the Patriarch!
Allah bless our State! Allah bless our State!
As you can see Patriarch Effendi is alive!
Patriarch Effendi and his accomplices...
...set up this game to incite you.
But their trap was foiled!
We are the Şehzades of the Ottoman Empire!
The power of the State is enough to stop the rebellion with weapons!
But we do not see you as different from us!
The life and religion of everyone in the capital is safe!
Now.
You can go home.
Don't let them deceive you!
If you don't see the roof of the State...
...above your head when you look up...
...do not forget that nothing else will protect you...
...from torrents and misfortunes!
Long live our Padişah!
Long live the State a thousand years! Long live our Padişah!
Ahsen.
-Ahsen. -Ömer.
I have to catch Hiram.
My Sovereign!
The rebels in the bank have surrendered!
And the street rebellion is over.
Thank Allah!
My Sovereign.
There is another good news.
Our son Ömer is not dead.
Thank Allah!
What came to your heart was true, my Sovereign!
Do you know why all this happens to us, Pasha?
Because of my brother, Murad Effendi!
Forgive me, my Sovereign!
Pasha!
If Murad Effendi...
...had not encouraged the infidels...
...they wouldn't attack our State with such audacity at all.
My Sovereign.
How can the English still hope for help from your brother?
Mahmud Pasha knows very well.
In the period when we were Şehzades...
...we went to London.
Yes!
They hosted us very nicely there, Tahsin Pasha.
Yes!
They treated my brother Murad Effendi respectfully.
Banquets were arranged in his honor...
He was the heir to the throne.
He was the future of the Ottoman Empire.
But they deceived him.
He entered the Masonic lodge.
He thought...
...that when he ascends the Ottoman throne...
...he will challenge the world with the English!
He didn't know.
The moment he was about to destroy our State...
...fortune opened my way and I ascended the throne.
Thank Allah!
They are still hoping for help from him.
Tahsin Pasha.
Call upon the presence of the Sheikh of Islam and the Mufti!
Sheikh of Islam?
We need a fatwa, Pasha!
As you command, my Sovereign!
If you didn't get the notebook, I'll smash your face, Hiram!
We couldn't take the money in the bank, but...
...this must be more important.
Finally! Finally we got something tangible from Abdülhamid!
However, be careful.
The enemy is Abdülhamid.
Your head might get hit with a cannonball while trying to slap!
Protect this with your life. This is my life insurance!
Because the Padişah will give his life...
...but he will not sacrifice his nation.
What about me?
You will disappear, Hiram!
Don't come out before I call you.
I'm offended.
Where are you going, Herzl?
To the English. Let's see the value of this notebook.
In this notebook there are...
...things that will make the English possess all of India, Herzl.
Talk to them on this basis!
I will tell them to take India and give me Israel.
Of course Abdülhamid in between.
Let's take our money from the English...
...for the names listed in this notebook, Sarah.
And let's establish this bank.
After that we will start our campaigns...
...that will end the Ottoman Empire economically!
We will give the money to the Sultan who needs it...
...and we will buy Israel!
Mr. Zaharoff, all the promises you made...
...came to nothing.
Life has returned to normal in the capital.
No war, no chaos, no occupation, no unrest!
Because Abdülhamid exists!
But you made us believe...
...that England would fight the Ottoman Empire...
...and that Russians will escape from this chaos...
...and add strength to their strength!
We can't fulfill every dream of ours, Mr. Ambassador!
It has happened. Let's find a solution.
The most expensive thing for the British...
...in the bank raid is the book.
Let's say I found the guy and took the notebook.
What is the value of this for Russia?
If that notebook does not come, our work with you will be over!
If we're done with you, you'll never be able to sell weapons again!
If you have a bird that flies in the Black Sea, we will shoot it!
If Basil Zaharoff cannot sell weapons, he will die!
My Sovereign, we have sent our daughter Makbule...
...in order not to separate lovers from each other.
Well done, my Sultana!
Let the poor girl be happy.
If we could be happy, too.
Why aren't you happy?
The attacks against our State...
...the misfortune of our children...
Luck is a bird, my Sultana.
You have to run to catch it.
If you put too much pressure on it when you hold it, it will die.
And if you leave your hand loose, then it'll run away!
Have you caught that bird before?
I did.
The day I married you.
Even if you squeeze your hand...
...or leave it loose...
...that bird will never fly out of your hands!
That bird is fond of the smell of your hands.
My sultana! Makbule has left the palace with her family.
Esma.
We have to know where Makbule went!
As you command, my Sultana!
Ask around without letting anyone know!
Never let Bidar Kadın and Sultana Seniha know.
And don't tell anyone about this message!
What's written in that letter that we have to hide it?
This letter will burn either Seniha or Bidar!
Our Sovereign must see this letter.
Of course, there is the issue of Naime as well.
Just Naime?
Hatice.
Fehime.
Abdülkadir, it's time for them all.
You are right.
What should be done?
Kemaleddin is loyal.
May Ramadan go well.
My Sovereign.
Excuse my question, but why are you so busy?
Let me write the last sentence.
The deserted lover of the world
Do not think he is at ease
This heart suffers a lot
If I tell, it will be complaint
Tell our Sovereign I came.
Our Sultana Bidar is inside.
I didn't ask you who's inside.
Tell our Sovereign that I came!
My Sultana. It's Bidar Kadın's order.
She ordered that no one enters until she exits!
Then tell Bidar Kadın to meet me when she comes out.
Disaster!
We're toast! We're finished!
What's the matter, Mahmud? What happened?
How can I tell you?
Abdülhamid Han asked to call Sheikh al-Islam!
On top of that, the Mufti too!
I swear they will kill!
Kill who, Mahmud?
If it was my father, there would be no need for the fatwa, mother!
You idiot!
Keep talking nonsense like that!
Your uncle Abdülhamid is about to request...
...a fatwa to kill your other uncle Murad Han!
The State is shaking from its roots!
And you are still after useless banter!
What are you saying, Mahmud?
What killing? What fatwa?
My dear Seniha!
Please, hear me well without fainting!
Abdülhamid Han talked about Murad Effendi tonight.
Then he asked to call Sheikh al-Islam.
I am absolutely sure...
...after he takes the fatwa from Sheikh al-Islam...
...he will remove Murad Han from existence!
My dear Seniha.
Dear Seniha!
Father, is that possible?
Is it permissible?
When it comes to the survival of the State...
...and the future of the whole nation...
...and if there is a fatwa...
...he will lose his head even if he is the son of Abdülhamid's father!
Sultan Murad means hope!
He means struggle and future!
We have to do something, father.
The only solution...
...is to kidnap Sultan Murad Han!
What kidnapping, Mahmud?
This can't happen!
We have no other solution, my dear Seniha!
This is the only solution!
Sultan Murad Han is not only your brother.
He is one of the main pillars of the State as well.
If Abdülhamid Han destroys one of those pillars...
...the destruction will be great!
And we will all be buried under the rubble!
Think about it!
If anything happens to Abdülhamid...
...will Şehzade Abdülkadir run the State?
All right, father. But is what you're saying easy?
Of course not.
Of course it's hard!
Hatice.
She has to convince her father Murad Han.
Next we have to make the person...
...in charge of Murad Han and the Çırağan Palace...
...that is, Vasfi Effendi side with us.
How are we going to make him side with us?
It is impossible without a few extra things.
She'll have to make a promise!
What will she promise him, Mahmud?
Marriage!
Don't be delusional, Mahmud!
My Hatice loves Kemaleddin Pasha. This is impossible!
My dear Seniha, the State is about to end!
And you are still talking about love!
Hatice.
Tell her to make promises to Vasfi Effendi.
Let her tell him things!
And we will kidnap Murad Han during that time.
After that, I'll get rid of Vasfi Effendi one way or another.
Come on, this isn't going to happen on it's own.
Let's go to the palace quickly, so we can get things under control.
Come on, let's go.
Kemaleddin Pasha.
My Sultana.
Were you here? I did not see you!
Really?
Who knows how many issues concern you!
I hope our marriage is one of those issues!
It is, isn't it?
Why are you silent?
My Sultana.
Our marriage is not destined.
Wasn't it you who declared his love to me, Pasha?
Wasn't it you who swore to fight for this love?
Of course, if you marry Naime, your future will not fail at all.
Sultana Naime has nothing to do with this issue.
My love is so deep that it can't be snatched and thrown away.
Why then?
I do not want to stir up strife in my State!
If necessary, I will bury my love in my heart for the sake of my State!
From now on I will be mute...
...about this love.
My eyes are blind and my ears are deaf!
Have you no pity at all, Kemaleddin?
You have brought winter to a flower that has not yet seen spring!
You show me the oasis in the desert, and then you say it's a mirage!
Don't do it, don't Kemaleddin.
Your father has become an ember in this State!
And I can't fuel this strife.
Theodor Herzl!
Where are you?
You lost all the money you took from the Jews to Abdülhamid!
Since you came to this capital...
...you've been mingling with murderers, scammers, and sinisters!
And you fail in every move you make!
Bury yourself in history!
Everyone should know a different Herzl.
A different Herzl...
Herzl.
Mr. Zaharoff.
Look at this!
I took the notebook from the bank with a thousand hardships...
...and went to the English to negotiate, but...
Have you been deceived, Herzl?
Unfortunately, I couldn't even find a man to deceive me.
Abdülhamid made the British Ambassador resign.
And the man went to London and is glad that he escaped.
So there is no customer for the notebook.
In fact, it might be even better.
Herzl, give me that notebook.
I don't even see the need to ask you why.
Because I won't.
Don't get me wrong, Herzl.
According to my business ethics...
...you will give me what I ask for.
Otherwise...
...you'll die.
I want to remind you that I am a Zionist leader.
And the weapon you point at me...
...is aimed at all the Jews at the same time!
And even in this case, you will not take the notebook.
You hid the notebook.
I definitely hid it.
I'll shoot your heels.
I'll shoot your knees.
It will feel so painful...
...before I get to your head...
...you'll tell me where you hid the notebook, Herzl.
Probably.
But if you kill a Jewish leader...
...all your business relationships will end!
All the arms dealers you are connected with are Jews.
The Jews are at the head of the banks that you asked money from.
You are our prisoner, Mr. Zaharoff.
You are right.
Wherever there are weapons, money and power, you're there.
The only person who can point that weapon at a Zionist is Abdülhamid.
But he can't kill us, either.
Because he is a very lonely man.
Don't be so sure, Herzl.
I'm finally done with the capital.
Mehmet, Mahmud...
Well, you asked for me.
I did not ask, Bidar Kadın.
I just requested you to come.
Who are you to summon me?
What you did is audacity.
You were with our Sovereign.
And put your Kalfa at the door.
And you gave her orders not to let anyone in.
You made me do this.
I am the one who commands in this Harem.
And my orders get fulfilled.
Don't do what you did again.
When you want to see me...
...you will move according to the system of this Harem.
I can go and see my Sovereign whenever I want.
You can't prevent this by putting a guard on the door.
I understand you.
You have to learn the rules of this Harem again.
I'm the daughter of the Tatar prince and the Avas princess, Bidar Kadın.
I am a noble princess.
I was born into these systems.
What about you?
Your family?
Were you slaves or farmers?
What were you?
After becoming Egypt's Sultana, no one asks what you are.
My two brothers are Ottoman Pashas.
And they serve their State with honor.
I have a son equivalent to your whole lineage.
I am a mother who gave birth to a Şehzade, Fatma Pesent Hanım.
Pull yourself together.
And avoid conflicting with me.
I got your news.
I congratulate you two.
These medals...
...represent our State's pride in you.
We have done our duty.
You honored us.
May Allah keep the medal of faith in your heart.
Forgive me.
But I don't want to accept it.
Why?
Even if I went there...
...I did not think that their demands of freedom are unjust.
This medal you awarded to me...
It would be better not to accept it.
Freedom.
A freedom request that fights justice.
They ask for freedom, but...
...they kill people.
They ask for freedom, but...
...they shout for the collapse of the just system.
Blow out the candles. Come with me.
Let's say...
...you are defying fire and want to be free.
Were you able to challenge the freedom of fire?
I may not be able to challenge with my hand...
...but who wants to take my freedom from me...
...I can blow him out.
And now you're in the dark.
If you ruin our State's system to be free...
...the world will become a prison for you, Abdülkadir Effendi.
