THE JOURNEY OF LOVE

Catch him!

Catch him!

Run.

Catch him.

You slipped through our fingers, did you not?

Find that killer.

Find him and bring him to justice, officer.

Turn Nallihan upside-down...

...and find the killer.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

Old man!

Peace be with you.

And peace be upon you.

Are you still walking?

What about you? You are a great Judge.

Haven't you got a slow-gaited horse?

Just take a breath.

There is no one, my lord.

Leave no stone unturned at the bazaar!

Officer Hasan.

What kind of a sin has Pulpit-Maker Hasan fallen into?

We’re getting to know him.

We just know law and order, Bayram Agha.

I found the killer, I saw him on the way.

But your civil servant let him out!

You say that he is certainly the killer.

If I don't believe what I see...

... what can I believe in, old man?

Among the things that I believe, few have been seen with my own eyes.

And even less...

...with my lusterless eyes.

There is no reason for a divorce between the defendant and the plaintiff...

...It has been adjudicated to continue the marriage with Ayse, the daughter...

...of Munevver and Numan, the son of Yoruk Ali Pasaoglu.

I beg you, Judge!

Do not leave me with this cruel man for God's sake.

I beg you, please!

What you have done is to...

...ignore the law and the sharia.

Save me, Judge, I beg you, please, save me.

Please save me, Judge!

I beg you, save me.

That Pulpit-Maker, where does he live?

He is in the village of Beyobas.

He lives with his aged mother.

Okay, Mesut Agha.

That is enough.

I am sorry to trouble you.

You can leave.

Officer.

Yes, Master judge.

Take four civil servants with you.

We are going to the village of Beyobas in civilian clothes.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

Do not tell anyone about this matter...

...including your civil servants.

The walls have ears.

I want the killer to be alive.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

Go around the house.

Dogan, Adem!

Adem, you go to the other side and Abdi, this way. Hurry up!

Is it you, son?

We are looking for him, mom.

I got it, you are not my son. There are many horses outside.

Have you come a long way?

Are your horses thirsty?

They are not, mom, no.

If you let me, I want to ask a few questions inside.

Sure, son, come in.

-Are you hungry, son? -I am not, mom.

I hope that God gives you more.

We are looking for your son, Pulpit-Maker Hasan.

Why are you looking for my son?

I am the Judge of Nallihan.

Your son killed two people, mom.

What! that is a slander, Master judge.

My brave son is scared of God.

If you don't believe me, ask his Sheikh.

He never leaves the dervish lodge.

Where is the dervish lodge?

Who is his Sheikh?

Who is Sheikh Tapduk Emre?

He is a well-known Sheikh Efendi among the folk.

Do you know him?

There is no one who doesn't know him in Nallihan.

Many people including the tradesmen are his students.

Do you know where his dervish lodge is?

Everyone knows that dervish lodge in Nallihan, my lord.

The men who are educated built...

...a dervish lodge and give education...

...to the folk, ah?

What a pity!

We are going, Officer.

We are going to raid that Tapduk Emre's dervish lodge.

They'll notify him, my lord.

Is there a problem, Hasan Agha?

Master judge wants to ask a few questions.

Are you Sheikh Tapduk Emre?

No, I am not.

Hopefully, we can be like him.

We called him.

Where is he?

He is praying to God.

It is not proper to divide this process.

Fine!

There is a killer who's hiding in the dervish lodge.

Bring him to justice as of today.

Pulpit-Maker Hasan.

Bring him to justice, right now.

I said that our Sheikh is Praying to God.

I cannot give you...

...a stone from this lodge...

...let alone man who took shelter here, without his permission.

We are going to search this dervish lodge.

-Master judge. -Look everywhere right now!

If someone protests against us, suspend him from here.

What is done is done.

They died. What is done is done, they died.

What is done is done, they died.

I did not kill anyone.

I did not kill anyone.

I am not a killer.

I am not a killer.

I am not a murderer.

I am not a murderer.

I am not a murderer.

Whoever commits a sin...

...know that there is justice...

...in Nallihan from on now.

Know that...

...there is a Seljuk Judge here.

Whoever thinks himself superior to the law...

...shall be doomed to the dungeon or the dead henceforward.

Pulpit-Maker's case is...

...going to be examined today, Bayram Agha.

Complete the preparations.

Your wish is my command, Master judge.

-But... -I know, officer, I know.

But...

...it's not the right time to deal with the case of inheritance and money.

My almighty God, forgive me.

Help me.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I repent.

Did you put it inside the bucket, Kasim Agha?

I put it there, mom.

The piebald's milk is going dry.

Also, he stopped eating.

It means that the cows are having problems.

If grass-feeding is a problem, they don't produce milk, Bayram Agha.

What did Sheikh Efendi say about the Judge and the officer?

I told my Sheikh everything in detail but...

...he kept mum.

Didn't he say that we comply with shariah?

He did, mom.

He said he is the State Judge. Everything he said is true.

What did Molla say again, mom?

What did he say, daughter?

The Judge beleaguers the dervish lodge. What else did he say?

You are so inquisitive, daughter.

Is it your business?

Pulpit-Maker Hasan, suspected for murder, and the son of Mahmut and Aybuke...

...from the village of Beyobas, is here.

We witness that aforementioned person's guilt is suspended...

...and the suspect, Pulpit-Maker Hasan is mentally unstable.

It has been approved of by me.

I witnessed that the suspect, Pulpit-Maker Hasan...

...killed Ilhan and Halil...

...the son of Candaroglu near the lake of Delice...

...and my testimony has been...

...confirmed by other witnesses.

In case...

...there is no evidence to change the truth.

I didn't kill anyone, God.

You are in court!

If you have proof to deny this, then tell us!

But if you don't...

...don't occupy the court.

While the truth points in this this direction under these conditions...

...we ask you to respect this.

Have you got proof to deny this?

I swear by every breath I take...

... by the reason for the creation of the universe...

...and our prophet...

...I didn't kill anyone.

I saw you with my eyes, Efendi!

I just wanted to help.

I made the carvings of the mosque in Sarıcalar. I was on my way back.

When I went near the lake to perform ablution...

...I saw someone who was having death throes.

I did everything to save him but...

You intended to save someone, not kill them...

...then why did you run away when you saw me?

I was scared, Master judge.

I have a lonely mom.

I didn't want to leave her alone by getting in trouble.

I didn't kill anyone.

Forgive me.

You do not have a witness.

You do not have evidence.

Common knowledge can't be erased...

...with doubt.

Because the two victims, you killed...

...were seen by me...

...and If I pronounced you innocent with...

...your defense, it would be unfair to...

...justice and...

...the truth.

It has been...

...adjudicated!

It has been resolved that the suspect, Pulpit-Maker Hasan...

...killed Ilhan and Halil...

...the son of Candaroglu in an attempt to rob them...

...near the lake of Delice...

...before the witnesses.

That's why...

...Minberci Hasan who has...

...no evidence to save himself, is sentenced to...

...death.

My God, forgive me, please.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I am sorry, I am sorry.

Saying Allahu Ekber.

Fairness, my almighty God.

Fairness, my God.

Fairness, my God.

Hey people! Hear me! Hear me!

Pulpit-Maker Hasan, the son of Mahmut...

...is sentenced to death in Beyobas village.

Hey people!

Hear me, hear me!

Alincak Noyan, Mogus Commander demolished the province of Divrigi.

Father Sinan, the khalifa of Ahi Evren and his envoys...

...are put to the sword.

Does the Judge think him important?

I think Hasan couldn't kill anyone, my lord.

Mind your own business!

That's nonsense. Who saw, who knew?

Took it easy, Shahin.

Does Azmi Agha tell a lie?

That's Mogus Judge at the most.

Complete the preparations for his execution.

Ask the guilty man what is his last wish?

Accept it, if it is allowed by the shariah.

Your wish is my command, Judge.

Officer...

...the decision is justice's, not the Judge's.

Whoever doubts it...

...has a suspicion of the court, not of Judge.

Never, his Judge, never.

Tell me, Aghas. What is the matter?

What is the matter, ha?

How does he know that Hasan is the killer?

You are right. How does he know?

This decision is the Judge's, not the shariah's.

What kind of a Judge is he?

Well, where is his evidence?

You are right.

Aghas!

Please, calm down.

This here is the privy council.

Not the council of rebellion.

My sheikh...

...Ahis is right.

This decision should be taken to a court of an appeal.

It has been seen, he wouldn't hurt a fly. Who says he killed a man?

It's true.

The Mogus and highwaymen slaughter and...

...poor fellows wait for an execution in the dungeons.

That's not justice!

That's homicide, not justice.

Aghas, you are right but...

...the sword of shariah has no scabbard.

The shariah has remained on Judge's lips since when? My Sheikh.

Money talks. If you have some, Judge is your serf.

If you don't, hell is your destiny.

Take it easy, embroiderer!

Are you listening to yourself?

If it's lie, tell them that it's lie.

Where there is a poor man, he is crushed. Where there is weakness, it is strangled!

Where a large nomad tent is looted.

Where a villager is scattered in front of the government office.

I've had it! Landlords, that's enough.

He is right.

Azmi Agha is right.

This clergies have always pleased Ahi teams and...

...the villager, like us.

There has been Mogus's cruelty in the country.

While there is a Seljuk Judge, we don't need Mogus.

There is no such Judge.

He is right. There is no such provision, there is no such Judge!

Okay, Landlords, okay.

He who starts up in anger sits down with a loss.

This empty talking doesn't do anyone any good.

Also, the Ahi community is not a political sphere...

Now tell me...

...what is your request?

What we should do?

Is there anybody who wants to say something?

There is, my sheikh.

There is.

Master judge has been adjudicated, my Sheikh.

The sentence is different, the decision is different.

Tell me? What did he decide?

I said execution. Broke the pen!

He hasn't been listening, not even to Minberci's defense.

Well, he is a great Judge...

...if he says that happened, it happened. He says die, he dies.

My Sheikh...

...we comply with shariah...

...we are, but...

...Master judge has been told that I have a witness.

He has been but...

...even If he is Judge, does he need to bring the witness?

He didn't give even name his witness.

I am the witness.

Finalize the preparation for execution.

The guilty man's last wish has been asked.

He wants to see his mother in the flesh.

Sure, sure.

Give him some time.

He'll see his mother.

Then the shariah will be applied.

Peace be with you, Judge!

Peace be with you, Mesud Agha. Why are you in such a hurry?

The sentence...

... given by Nallihan Judge's...

...is wrong and it should be cancelled...

...in the light of these reasons.

Who has been given this fatwa, Bayram Agha?

Sheikh Efendi, Judge.

I am Nallihan Judge of the Seljuk, Judge Yunus!

I ask, what is the name of the person who gave this fatwa?

The owner of the fatwa is our Sheikh Tapduk Emre, Judge.

Have sheikhs, who don't know to write and read...

...and have never seen a madrasah, attended...

...to the shariah and justice, Bayram Agha?

Judge, please save me, divorce me...

...from that guy for God's sake.

I'm tired of life. He drinks, gets drunk and beats me.

When he is angry, he beats me.

Stop, go down.

Go!

Stop!

-Peace be with you. -Peace be with you.

My Sheikh is waiting for you, Master judge.

This way.

You're welcome, Master judge.

Thanks.

Sheikh Efendi.

The reason for this visit is clear.

Take a breath. You are in the council of friends.

It's obvious that we are in the council of friends, friends.

That's why... You know that I am Judge...

...although you object to justice.

Far from it, Master judge. We object to this decision, not to justice.

These are state affairs, Sheikh Efendi. Stay out of it.

I guess that the sentence is different. It is also justice.

How does the objection of the decision mean to object to justice, Master judge?

So, either you know who is Judge or you don't.

I am not here to argue. I request that you...

...change the declaration which you gave to Ahis...

...with regards to my sentence being wrong.

That would be easy.

If the truth changed.

We can change the declaration. That's all.

How is your scar, Master judge?

It's obvious that you're accustomed to walking.

Is the wound spreading inside?

We are doctors, Master judge. We can only see the outside.

Sheikh Tapduk Emre can just see the outside and inside.

It healed with your favor, Mikel Efendi. Thanks.

You are welcome, Master judge. The thing I gave you is an ointment.

The healing comes from God.

-Peace be with you, mom. -Peace be upon you.

What did Judge say? Why did he come again?

-You're welcome, daughter. -Thank you, mom.

-Mom, I asked why the Judge came? -How should I know that, daughter.

Is that my thing?

-Are you hungry, daughter? -Thank you, I am not, mom.

Daughter, if you are free, light the fire...

...then we will set the kettle to boil.

We don't have donuts for tonight.

I'm sure it was about his sentence. He was so angry, didn't you see?

Did you see him face? Sultan sister?

Why is Judge angry at your Sheikh father?

My dad objected to the death sentence.

Is it possible to work and talk at the same time, ladies?

Thank God.

Tell us, Confidant. Why did Judge come into Sheikh's presence?

What did he say, Guyende Can? He said to take back the objection.

-I don't know. -Didn't you hear them while talking.

Didn't you know what Dervish Agha said?

Tell us. Don't keep us in suspense.

Aghas!

What's wrong, Aghas?

Judge Yunus. He came into Sheikh Tapduk's presence. We are wondering about that.

Curiosity killed the cat, landlords!

Why did you prevent Confidant Yunus' business by wondering about it?

Ah?

The weather is too hot. The people are waiting for the water in the street.

So, The act of the tradesmen is to...

...dish on Judge...

...Mesud Agha.

He came into Sheikh's presence without permission.

If you say that, respect. He doesn't listen to you.

Even so, our sheikh didn't badmouth him.

Yes.

Our Sheik...

...stops this unrefined behavior by talking?

Thinking of it is even a fool's errand.

Dervishes don't talk with anybody.

Dervishes sit and talk in the council of dervish...

...if there is a topic to talk about.

Bolulu, didn't we say not to bring that crazy person into the kitchen?

Shameless!

Ah, if there is a penalty to fine...

...it is fined in the council.

It fines as such...

...if you're a Shah in Persia not a Judge, this throne will drop onto your head.

Make way!

Peace be with you.

Peace be upon you.

Oh Shaafi.

I boiled tomatoes and sweet red pepper, my Sheikh.

Do they come from here?

Sheikh Recep Efendi sent them to us from Afyonkarahisar, My Sheikh.

Send to the apples from our gardens to our Sheikh Efendi.

Know that it was sent with the first caravan.

So, Sheikh Efendi gives a lesson on one hand.

Efendi said that he sent that gift to keep in touch.

Oh Shaafi.

Doesn't bulgur wheat come from here?

We have it in our storage room but...

... Sheikh Edebali sent it from Karaman.

Send apples to Sheikh Efendi.

Look. Everything reproduces by helping.

What do you say, Molla Kasim? Is the hadith lesson given like this?

Not having a conservation obstructs the tradition...

...which is stated in the hadith.

It's wrong for the sunnah to obstruct increasing goodness.

And it's also the sunnah that doesn't slander anyone.

Complaining over someone’s swears Is worse than the swear itself.

And it decreases the talk. Don't be like someone who prevents the traditions.

Come here, old man.

That's easy.

If we change the declaration...

...will you change the truth, too? It's okay.

Everything is ready, Master judge. We can bring him into your presence.

Didn't we pronounce judgment, officer? Why do you bring him into my presence?

The old man has usurped with the suspects, my lord.

Forgive, Master judge, forgive.

Forgive my son. My son can't kill someone. You're great, forgive.

Far from it, mom, far from it.

Only God can forgive.

Here is not a place to cry, mom.

My valiant son couldn't kill anyone.

He can't hurt a fly which sucks his blood.

Forgive, forgive my son.

Forgive, forgive my son. He can't kill anybody.

Okay, mom. Let's go.

Mom...

Mom, I... I can't overstep, I'm not authorized.

We are aides.

Forgive my son.

It's obvious that you are statesmen. My son is bizarre.

Ertegun Efendi, you said those guys usurped me...

...but you do not have evidence and a witness.

Hah, look at my neck. Master judge.

This old man is a looney, Master judge. He sees what he wants.

I was in the village of Beldibi at the time.

Here! Gokhan, helper in the bazaar, is my witness.

It's right. Master judge.

I went to that village to visit my relatives before.

-I saw this brother there. -They are lying, Master judge.

That kid is giving false testimony.

Let us that decide that. Ertegun Efendi.

Adjudicated.

Ertegun Efendi, the son of Hacidemiroglu,...

...couldn't submit evidence or a witness concerning that...

...Yalcin Efendi, the son of Kerimoglu usurped him.

The son of Kerimoglu, Yalcin's innocence has been decided...

...as himself and his witness express.

I am right, Master judge.

-This brigand usurped me. -Aghas, the lawsuit is over.

Don't keep the office busy.

Hasan Agha, Hasan Agha.

What's wrong, Mesud Agha? What's your hurry?

Aghas, what does it mean?

There is no other solution for Master judge, Hasan Agha.

We took our Sheikh's permission, Hasan Agha.

You speak well but...

...how do we explain it to Master judge?

What is this large order, Hasan Agha?

What do Aghas want, officer?

They want to appeal to the superior court so that the...

...the death sentence you pronounced for Pulpit-Maker Hasan, is dismissed.

So, you will appeal to the high court so that my decision is cancelled Landlords?

Who gave this order to you?

Your Sheikh?

What is wrong, Master judge?

Are you going to raid our poor house again?

I wanted you to change your declaration, Sheikh Efendi.

I didn't want my decision to be appealed

at a high court through the organization of your Ahis.

The sentence is changed by appealing, Master judge, not justice.

Justice is a pole star.

When everything is turned around, justice remains stable.

Why should my decision be changed? Is it wrong or a failure?

I saw the killer with my own eyes.

Justice is in eyes of the Judge?

What If the Judge is blind?

I hope you help justice with your testimony...

...not prevent justice with your fancy words.

I didn't see a killer, Master judge.

So, I'm telling a lie while I witness you.

Don't mention it, Master judge.

I am afraid of telling a lie in order to corroborate you.

You are enough of a believer to tell a lie but...

...how do you cast a shadow on justice by not testifying?

Who am I...

...what is my size? How I can cast a shadow on a great star?

I am not here to argue with you, Sheikh Efendi.

Justice works with evidence.

We decide with our science, not with conscience.

If decisions were made with fancy words and logic games...

...then poets and philosophers would judge in the court, not Judges.

You are right. A Judge should decide according to science.

We will talk about science, written in books, now that...

...my witness is not valid, according to the shariah.

What is that?

A blind witness is not valid in the sharia law.

You bring a lawsuit then. Do you adjudicate on your behalf?

Do you want a source?

Kuduri's fatwa is there.

You don't know how to write and read.

But you don't need to know read and write to...

...memorize the name of books.

Efendi has declared the situation...

...on page of 387, first paragraph.

You speak well.

But his Kuduri has mentioned that...

...the blind can't testify on his fatwa. Are you blind?

It's obvious that you got nice training in Karatay Madrasah, Master judge.

We need to talk about logic in that case.

Little is much evidence.

Now If there are two sacks of sugar...

...and you give this sugar to me then...

...won't we believe in the existence of the sugar by looking at it?

What about my eyes? Now am I completely blind?

But is there blindness in my eyes?

There is, I see less.

But can I see? I can.

Well, but are my eyes completely open?

They are not.

They are less but I can see. I see. I am not blind.

Now, divide your doubt into ten...

...if nine pieces say that this man is guilty and one piece says he is not...

...that person is not guilty.

But nine pieces say that he is not guilty...

...and one piece says he is guilty, that person is guilty.

-Good evening, Mehmet Efendi. -Have a good evening.

-Good evening, Mehmet Efendi. -Thanks. Come on, we are going.

Come on, we will be late.

Haven't you glaze it yet? Bayram Agha.

We did, we did.

We shouldn't be late. I couldn't attend our Sheikh's conversation.

When Mesud Agha comes, we will go.

Ah, Mesud Agha came.

-Peace be with you, Aghas. -Peace be upon you.

Come on, we are going.

I am going to perform ablution.

Let's go, come on.

Change your clothes. Go home! Come on.

I am coming, my workman.

Forgive me, my lord.

-I didn't know that you were here. -You know, now!

Leave me alone!

Do you have any wish or order, my lord?

It's enough to leave me alone, Officer.
