My Sultana.
Are you okay?
I'm not, Esma.
It's happening because I’m expecting. I know that.
What happened, Sultana?
I became ugly.
No, my Sultana.
You are still so beautiful.
I was a princess before coming to this palace.
I saw our Sovereign, I fell in love with him.
I'm now fighting Bidar's feint.
Anyways.
Any news about Makbule?
I asked a few girls in the Harem.
But no one knows where she went.
My Sultana.
What is written in that letter?
Makbule wrote about who tried to kill her.
She wrote a name at the end.
But the letters are missing.
It is either Mehmed or Mahmud.
Mehmed Pasha.
What have you done, Esma?
Why did you write Mehmed Pasha's name?
I did what should be done, my Sultana.
You'll get the value you deserve in this palace.
Sultana Bidar will not feint for her brother...
...and you'll be the only ruler of this palace.
Brother.
No need for your effort to win my father's favour.
Once again, you misunderstand, my beloved brother.
I don't want to win our Sovereign's favour...
...but be an eye for our State.
I want to be her eye, ear, hand and leg to go forward.
Ahsen.
My Şehzade.
Finally you're back.
Thanks to Ömer. He saved my life.
Thank you.
I hope you come back here...
...and you will find the peace of your life.
Everyone is his own grave, my Şehzade.
The place is not important if you were a wreck.
Whether you are in a palace or a desert...
...you won't find peace.
Of course, there are people who ruin our peace, as well.
Keep your peace, my Şehzade.
My Sovereign, our son Ömer and Ahsen are here.
Let them in.
We didn't lose hope on you two.
May your return be blessed.
We have a lot to talk about, my dear.
If you came, that means that you're completely trusting us.
I saw lies and lived the truth, my Sovereign.
I ask for your forgiveness.
I was always accepting you as my father's killer.
The regrets of the past...
...will make your future as solid as a rock, my dear.
Efrahim Effendi is our secret.
We'll solve it together.
Until then, you can get some rest.
Tell me, my son Ömer.
My Sovereign.
I heard just one voice coming from underground.
Your voice.
Was it real or a dream?
It was a real dream, son.
When I woke up, I continued digging to fulfill my duty.
I found the notebook. -Good.
You saved lives of our Indian Muslim brothers.
Unfortunately, my Sovereign.
Hiram has the notebook.
How so, son?
The filth hanged Ahsen on a wire.
In exchange, he wanted the notebook.
And you gave it to him.
The important question is...
...would you give him the notebook if it wasn't Ahsen?
Didn't I tell you to control your feelings?
I meant, who knows the country's secret mustn’t have weaknesses.
I said who has weaknesses cannot exist.
Forgive me, my Sovereign.
What is the answer to the question, Tahsin Pasha?
If she was someone else, he would give him the notebook.
-Because? -Because...
...even if this notebook has the names of our Muslim Indians...
...there will be a chance to save them.
But there is no time to save a person hanging on a wire.
That is, you did the right thing, Ömer Effendi.
But you should have done it because it was the right thing...
...not because it was Ahsen.
Now go and find Hiram.
I'll find Hiram and get the notebook, my Sovereign.
The notebook is probably not with Hiram anymore.
But you can learn who has it when you find Hiram.
As you command, my Sovereign.
My dear Hatice.
What happened, Hatice?
Why are you crying?
It's nothing, Auntie.
Nothing.
Listen, my dear.
I have things to tell you.
Sit down.
-What happened? -Listen to me carefully.
My dear.
Your uncle Abdülhamid thinks...
...that our troubles are because of your father.
Why?
What's it got to do with Father?
He says that Murad Effendi's politics spoiled the European countries.
If your father didn't spoil them...
...they wouldn't able to create anarchy within our State.
All right.
Maybe my father's politics were different.
But all in all, he worked for the State's interests.
Of course he did, my dear.
But our Sovereign is worried that his throne will be in danger...
...as long as Sultan Murad is alive.
He also mentioned again...
...that your father is a member of the Masonic lodge.
What?
What are you saying, auntie?
Unfortunately, our Sovereign invited the Sheikh al-Islam and the Mufti.
I'm afraid that he wants approval to execute my brother Murad.
Calm down, my dear.
Calm down, Hatice.
My daughter.
Hatice.
Come and sit down.
Hatice!
Pull yourself together! Hatice, come on!
We don't have time to lose.
What to do?
-What to do? How do I save him? -Take this, my dear.
Listen, darling.
Calm down. We don't have time to lose.
You have to go to Çırağan right away! Do you understand?
How... How can I go out of here?
I can't do that, Bidar won't allow me.
If she does, the Sovereign won't! How can I go out?
My dear, we will definitely find a way, don't worry.
Now, you have to persuade your father to ran away...
...and ascend the throne.
Okay?
Listen.
If your father is ready...
...there are soldiers in the army ready to obey their former Sultan.
The European Countries...
...and the minorities in the capital are already willing.
If you succeed to persuade him...
...your father will conquer, darling.
Sabahaddin.
When your cruel uncle...
...kills your innocent uncle...
...it'll be our turn.
The wings of birds are always wet where there is no freedom, father.
They always fall.
Sabahaddin.
We're escaping death here.
Please, let's not bore each other now.
Here is death, here is his fatwa.
Revered Sheikh al-Islam Effendi.
Welcome. Selamünaleyküm.
Aleykümselam, Pasha.
Well-received.
Revered Sheikh al-Islam.
May I ask the reason why you came here?
Our Padişah invited us. We don't know anything.
If he invited you...
...he will definitely ask for a fatwa.
What else can it be?
Fatwa derives from the absolute justice.
Not upon Padişah's order, Pasha.
Every look of Sheikh al-Islam Effendi is like a sharp sword.
And every single word is like a knot wrap around my neck.
Okay, dear. Stop crying, please.
Never speak about this matter with anyone.
We'll definitely find a way.
What is this?
Mehmed Pasha!
Thank Allah, Hatice.
Thank Allah. -What happened, Aunt?
It is such a wonderful news...
...with this letter we can make Bidar do anything we want.
Whose letter is this? What is written in it?
Look, it's Makbule's signature.
She wrote it was Mehmed Pasha who tried to kill her.
What is it Sheikh al-Islam Effendi?
What did Sultan ask you inside?
He wanted me to counsel him on a private issue.
Is that so?
Is it possible for a fatwa to be private.
Allah forbid. It's like rejecting the religion.
Fatwa must be general.
The issue was private, Pasha. Not the fatwa.
For short...
...it doesn't concern you.
Sabahaddin.
Everything became crystal clear.
Abdülhamid will chop his brother Murad's head off.
What do we do, father?
He who keeps silent against oppression is a mute devil.
We won't keep silent.
I've never seen such a religious anarchist like you, father.
Well, when you plan perfect plots...
...you have to do minor devilries as well.
Come on, let's go.
My Sultana.
I wish you wouldn't fast.
It's not a danger for me or my baby, for now.
I don't eat too much, Esma Kalfa.
What did we do?
Don't worry, my Sultana.
We made a very big mistake.
No, my Sultana.
We did the right thing.
Or we wouldn't able to weaken Bidar Kadın anyway else.
She deserved that long time ago.
Mehmed Pasha took refuge in the German Embassy...
...even before anything happened.
It's obvious that Mehmed Pasha is the culprit.
But our Sovereign did not have the evidence.
Did Seniha find the letter?
She must have.
Don't worry.
Who would know that we did it?
They'll never think about us, while they fight each other.
And you will get the value you deserve in the Harem.
The first lady of Sultan Abdülhamid.
The Princess of Tatars, Fatma Pesent Hanım.
And if a Şehzade is born...
I can't wait long, I'll try one.
Pashas.
Off the record, I can't understand our Sovereign at all.
Today, if we knocked any door in the capital...
...we would have a richer sahur table than this.
We're ruled by a Sovereign who doesn't like extravagance.
I think you should be thankful, Pasha.
Revered Sheikh al-Islam.
I'm curious, what did our Sovereign ask you when he summoned you?
Can you keep secrets, Pasha?
Of course, I can.
Me, too.
Attention! Revered Sultan Abdülhamid Han!
Always the victorious!
Please be seated.
Welcome you all.
Allah let us live to witness another Ramadan.
May our sahurs bring us mornings in the hereafter.
Amin.
Please, enjoy.
Revered Sheikh al-Islam.
Could you find an answer to our question?
The Fatwa consultant is working on it, my Sovereign.
The answer will be positive.
I'll check the Fatwa in the morning.
I’ll sign it if it's appropriate and come to you.
About the Fatwa, my Sovereign. If you allow me...
Revered Sheikh al-Islam.
If a very speedy vehicle was invented...
...so we could have our sahur in Bosnia...
...then go to Baku by the same vehicle...
...and have our iftar there...
...would our fast be accepted because of duration has shortened?
Don't go that far, Pasha.
If you travel all that distances, it means you're a traveler.
So you're allowed not to fast.
It's obvious that Mahmud Pasha is in search of a Fatwa...
...a suitable fatwa to his appetite, revered Sheikh al-Islam.
Yes.
There's no cleric in the Ottoman State who'd issue that fatwa, Pasha.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Allah of this night and the sahur that will be eaten soon.
Let us witness the iftar.
Let us break our fast purified from our sins, O Allah.
May Allah accept.
-May Allah accept. -Let's go.
Pasha.
Let's break our fast now.
A lot of time shouldn't pass.
So that Allah doesn't record more sins.
Patriarch Effendi, do you meet your visitors that way?
Look at your face. There is neither mercy nor light.
And you're supposed to be a clergyman.
If the reason for your visit...
...is the possibility of me selling you out to the Sultan...
...don't be afraid.
I wouldn't ask anyone something he can't give.
You'll sell me out.
Haggle with the Sultan, sell me out.
Tell him that Zaharoff is behind everything.
And take this with you.
What are you saying, Zaharoff Effendi?
I need to be in a safe place...
...which is beside the Sultan...
...while they play their game.
What are doing here, Mr. Zaharoff?
Nothing, Pasha.
One my men ended up here because of his gambling debt.
I thought I should get the punk out of here.
I was looking for him.
Even it was for good...
...you shouldn't hang out with these punks, right?
Allah forbid, you may be infested with lice.
You're right.
But it was out of mercy.
You'll meet our Sovereign for the last time, Patriarch Effendi.
God is great.
Maybe one day, the Sovereign may want to meet me.
Listen.
I neither have the manners nor the mercy of our Sovereign.
Don't anger me, or no one can save you from me.
Move.
My Sovereign.
Come in, my daughter.
I missed the smell of the place, my Sovereign.
No one cleaned it up since you left.
I feel ashamed.
Because I couldn't even fulfill my duty here.
The place is cleanable, dear.
But have you been able to clear your heart?
That is the most important part.
I did, my Sovereign.
I saw the truth.
I saw that who slander you were my father's killers.
Your father Efraim Effendi was a loyal person to me and his country.
We shared a secret with him, my dear.
Did he say anything to you before he died?
He did, my Sovereign.
Just some numbers.
This is the secret your father left for us.
Do you remember them, dear?
Write them down.
Your father raised a child.
That child entered the Vatican.
If he isn't caught or killed...
...he is a cardinal now.
Do you know who he is?
No.
Only your father and that child knew as a precautionary measure.
He was going to tell us when the time came.
The time came, but he was murdered.
Is that why they killed my father, my Sovereign?
Write what you remember, dear.
The secret your father gave you will lead us to our spy in the Vatican.
Write it down, dear. Try to remember.
Seven, forty...
I can only remember these, my Sovereign.
Try again, darling.
I can't, my Sovereign.
But...
But what?
I gave Sarah everything that belongs my past before I came here.
I had a notebook full of memories.
It was written there.
But that notebook is with Sarah now.
Ahsen, my daughter.
Get ready.
You'll be Melike.
You'll continue your father's work.
You'll lead us to our spy in the Vatican.
-Selamünaleyküm. -Aleykümselam.
Agha, will this coffeehouse be cleaned up?
It'll be cleaned.
But I’ll look for a new place.
We're packing undamaged stuff.
I hope to see you in the new place.
Good luck, agha.
Thank you, Söğütlü.
Kelleci Ferman Agha's coffeehouse.
I saw the newspaper.
I looked good.
Agha, the Armenian gangs are scaring their sleepless children...
...by saying: "Ferman is coming".
We are a nightmare who betray our State, Yusuf.
But we smile to children.
What did you do? What is going on?
The traitors are in the prison, agha.
But ignoble Hiram is absent.
The State supports you.
Go inside.
Ask and you definitely will get the answer.
Those who betray the State will betray everyone.
Let's ask, agha.
But be gentle or you will get a bad reputation like me.
What is it, Mahmud Pasha?
My Sovereign.
They said working while fasting has a great reward.
So I decided to work till iftar.
On what?
I was trying to figure out the relation between...
...the event caused by the minorities and the railroad routes.
These minorities on the railroad-- -Pasha!
The routes that we ordered not to be changed...
...were planned with issue in mind.
But it failed because of your incompetence.
MY Sovereign, I am asking for your forgiveness by working more.
My Sovereign.
We brought Patriarch İzmirliyan.
Really?
Is he going to tell us anything important?
If we promise to exile him safely...
...he will tell us the name behind everything.
It means, he is asking for exile.
Let's go and see what he is going to tell us.
May Allah give you long live.
Kemaleddin Pasha.
Whose name will this tactless Patriarch İzmirliyan give you?
I don't know, Pasha.
I think he will say the names of who made him do it.
Kemaleddin Pasha.
The ring doesn't come off your finger, does it?
It doesn't.
The stain of betrayal doesn't come off either.
The only thing I ask you is to exile me.
You will be exiled.
Until you leave the capital...
...and until you reach the desert, you will be safe.
But we don't know what would happen afterwards.
Now tell me. Who?
Bring me, Zaharoff now!
That cur Hiram, is he more precious than your own life?
This is Osman.
He is an official solider of the State from the Söğütlü regiment.
Now, he might draw his gun and blow your head off.
But the country will be responsible for it.
Ömer Effendi is a coachman.
I may get you out of here, then say you ran away.
But Ömer Effendi will blow your head off outside.
Your filth won't contaminate the State.
I swear I could risk being jailed.
I will suffer my punishment.
My life in prison would be great...
...because I rid the State of your filth.
You are free to go, if you want.
You are free.
No, don't let me go.
Don't.
Tell us, then.
Come on!
Hiram is the Vatican's man.
He has a safe place.
A house.
There's a telegraph line.
He is messaging the Vatican directly.
He'll definitely go there.
Once...
...an imam said something that I never forget.
What did he say?
He said...
..."These infidels will try to eat Muslims first.
When they fail, they will eat each other.
He was right.
Look.
This whirligig patriarch has sold you out.
And he gave your name to the Sovereign.
I asked the Patriarch to do that.
I had to meet the Sovereign.
And this was the easiest way to meet him.
I also secured myself.
What are you going to do now?
How will you be free from the Sovereign?
I will sell Theodor Herzl out.
Is that your plan?
Are the greatest tactics we have against Abdülhamid...
...is selling each other out?
Russians want the notebook and I will take it.
Couldn't you have asked for it properly?
If he didn't give you, shoot him.
Pasha.
If I shoot Herzl...
...I will incite the anger of all Jews in the world.
All banks are theirs.
Of course. Weapons trade is under their control.
They will end me.
I can't shoot Herzl directly.
Abdülhamid Han will take Herzl.
And you will take the notebook.
You will take it, Pasha.
Me? Why me?
Because you are a pasha.
You will give the Sovereign...
...the name Herzl uses to enter the capital.
You will gain his trust.
After that, you will make your move.
Mr. Zaharoff.
Mr. Zahar--
Mr. Zaharoff!
I'm glad you came, Kemaleddin Pasha.
I was about to poke his eyes with my finger.
I was so livid.
Don't waste your anger, Pasha.
You may use it later.
Our Sovereign wants to see Zaharoff Effendi.
Infidel!
They said you are behind all these problems.
My Sovereign, reaching you was too hard.
I have very important news.
I wanted to tell you about it...
...but they didn't allow me into the palace.
What is your relation with this?
Why did the Patriarch give me your name?
My Sovereign, I thought you would interrogate the Patriarch...
...so I asked him a simple request as we share the same religion.
I asked him to give you my name.
If you don't believe me, he has a note with my signature.
You can see it.
If your news isn’t worthy...
...even if you endure twice the trouble you endured coming here...
...you won't get out of the dungeon.
There is a notebook with names of the Indian Muslims, my Sovereign.
And the English are after it.
The notebook is now with Herzl.
Theodor Herzl.
Yes, my Sovereign.
Herzl is in İstanbul since a long time ago.
And now, he is trying to escape with the notebook.
Pasha.
Let them hold Sirkeci and the ports.
Find photos of Herzl in the archive.
We will also report his name so he cannot pass from passport control.
He must have changed his name to enter, Pasha.
Do as I say.
As you command, my Sovereign.
My Sovereign, I found something very important.
What is it?
I met Mr. Zaharoff inside before he meet you.
When he told me about Mr. Herzl...
...I did my research.
If you allow me...
Give it to the passport officers immediately.
My Sovereign, I want to stay in the palace...
...until the suspicions around me disappear...
...and everything return to normal.
To make it obvious that I have nothing to do with these incidents.
Finally, we are going back to Vienna.
I will give the names in the notebook to the English...
...and get a huge amount of money in return, Sarah.
You are returning to the starting point, Herzl.
With all the blows you suffered on top.
Yes, I learned a lot.
In the past, I was walking toward Israel. Now I'm running.
Goodbye for now, capital.
When I come back, you'll be our captive.
Your Caliph will go and we will be your religion and faith.
Disbelief will eat you up.
Dear husband, I forgot all my jewellery in the hotel.
We have to go immediately.
What jewellery? Are you okay, Sarah?
I say jewellery and you still ask?
Move! Are you thick-headed, dear husband?
We are going, coachman.
If an officer saw you, you would be done.
What happened, Sarah?
Your photo was in the officer's hand.
They are looking for you, Herzl.
I have been sold out.
Who?
Who do you think? Either Zaharoff or Mahmud Pasha.
My Sovereign, we learned where we can find Hiram.
Where?
In a secure house.
It has a telegraph line with a communication network...
...with the Vatican.
Hiram goes there and take orders.
We'll go there and catch him. -No.
But my Sovereign--
You will detect the telegraph line of that house.
You will instal a line next to it.
We must know what he is talking about with The Vatican.
What about the notebook, my Sovereign?
Won't we find out who has the notebook?
We know where it is.
Do as I say.
As you command, my Sovereign.
Son.
If I want, Hiram will no longer be able to breathe.
However...
Hiram will take us to the owner of this coin.
You go and solve the encryption.
After that, you will do as I command.
First, we will solve this secret.
I am listening, Sultana Hatice.
If you allow me, I want to go to the Çırağan Palace...
...to see my father.
Are you going to ask him about Kemaleddin?
No.
When you came here, you knew you wouldn't go back to Çırağan.
Let's not talk about this again.
No.
I will go to Çırağan.
Okay.
Go then.
However you are going to go...
I forgive everyone in this palace.
Except for one person.
And that is Mehmed Pasha who tried to kill me.
This is the letter that Makbule wrote before she left.
It has her signature.
Now, my request from you...
...is to help me get permission from our Sovereign to go to Çırağan.
