- Did you deliver the message? - Of course, my Lord

So, the sacrifice is the only thing remaining

We fulfilled our first glorious steps

The fulfilling of the prophecy has begun

Lord of the words

Owner of the Day of Judgment

Show us the straight path

The path of those whom Thou hast favored

Amen

Look

This is God's punishment Murderer of your sons

Salim, kill me like you killed my sons

And may be...

you might've killed your mother too

I will kill you, Salim!

I will kill you like you killed my sons!

Leave him

Prepare a funeral that Trabzon has never witnessed before

Order all the soldiers to attend

And who does not attend will be whipped 20 times

No... 50... 50 whips!

My love

Haven't you slept?

I couldn't

I see him everywhere

I can still hear his laughter

No one can escape his fate, Qansuh

No one

God wanted him to join him while he was still young

There is no power nor might save in God

There is no power nor might save in God the Almighty

Shah?

I cannot stand living in this place anymore

We will move to live in the fortress

And I will give this house to Tuman

Every time you come later than the previous time

- Every time I see you waiting for me - Don't test my patience

Leave me then, or I will leave you and go back to my master

Why didn't you leave?

I had to realize that I was just a maid

And you are an important man Prince Tuman Bay

An important man Tuman Bay

I don't even like the life of princes nor the castles

Do you want to convince me that you don't like living in castles?

And that you're not happy you're the first man after the Sultan?

And you're the decision maker?

I don't want to convince you of anything

This is the truth

I don't care but to serving people

This is my only happiness

And me?

This necklace is the most precious thing I own

My mother gave it to me when I was young

Keep it well

Forgive me your Majesty I don't want to bother you

I am here to take care of you

- There is no one like my mother - True

No one as strong and wise as her

I am here in your arms

I can see what you see

- And what do I see? - The throne

It doesn't suit anyone but you

Where did you see her before?

We arrived together in the slaves caravan when we were young

- How did you make sure it was her? - It doesn't matter

What matters is that you put the proper price and I will pay it

- What is her name? - Do you see?

You don't even know her name

and maybe you don't know how she looks like too

And you don't have a shortage of maids

- My maids are not for sale, Tuman - My friend

I never let go of my possessions

Possessions?

How can you enslave people and their mother gave them birth free?

If it was up to me I would've set them all free

- Tuman - Don't forget you're a Mamluk too

This is not a competition to win or loose, think well

Tuman

Nalbay

Nalbay!

Everyone left to their homes, boy

I am finishing some of tomorrow's work

- Are you going out tonight? - No, I don't like to stay up late

I see, your friendship with the Mamluk the relative of Al-Ghuli...

Is forcing you to do things you don't like

You will open your closed heart to me one day

and you well tell me everything in it

Stop, boy

Take me back to the Diwan

You asked to see me, Prince

A long time has passed since the death of our mother the Sultana

And we didn't send condolences to Padishah

I am aware of that

Write a condolences letter to the Sultan

And what do I write in it?

You know what you should write, Sinan

And close the letter with my seal

You will go to him yourself

And there, try to know what did the Sultan decide

regarding Sebinkarahisar Province for Suleiman

I knew that Younes Agha has become the leader of the Janissaries

- And he is an old friend of mine - Perfect

Invite him to come to our Province

Let him see how the Janissaries of Trabzon have become more powerful

Tuman

- How is your uncle doing? - He is still mourning

It's hard to loose a son

I want to show you something

Something bad

So the Sultan was right in his doubt

They are exchanging letters to overthrow the Sultan Al-Ghuri

Tell him Tuman, tell him

The Sultan doesn't deserve to be betrayed like the Sultans before him

You will come with me and tell him yourself

- Me? - Put on your clothes

- But... - Put on your clothes!

Isn't it about time for these plots to end? What do they want?

Behead me or hang me at the door of Zwila

May God protect you from all evil

We should strike first

Let's go and ouster the castle of Aleppo

and bring back Sibay and those with him

Allow me, let's wait

Sibay has allies for sure we should know them all first

- Tuman, I want the head of the snake - Sibay isn't fit to be the snake's head

I will send after him and ask for his return to Cairo

And we will see what he will do and I will handle the head of the snake

Do you allow me?

It is God who created the seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them

Command descends among them

So you may know that God is above all things competent

And that God has encompassed all things in knowledge

It is near, the end is nearer

- Peace be upon you - Peace be upon you too

- Come in, Prince - Thank you

Judge, I am the only reason why you are still alive

If you wanted to stay alive tell me who wrote this letter

I don't know anything about the context of the letter nor where you found it

I will give you till tomorrow

May be you will come to your senses

A respected judge like yourself deserves all hospitality

They say that hospitality stimulates the memory

No! No Prince Tuman Bay!

What you're doing is not your method

Would you torture an old man like me?

- Do you accept that, Prince? - I don't accept it

But I don't speak for the torturers

You know them, they don't understand the language of reason

But they understand hospitality

You conspired to put me on the throne Masr Bay

- And now you are conspiring against me - It was you who put me in jail, Qansuh

After we made you Sultan You thought you were above us

You put me on the throne

Because you thought I am pliable and easy to get rid of

I begged you that day not to kill me

And I wouldn't have minded at all if you removed me

- But betrayal runs through your veins - Sooner or later...

You will be betrayed by those closest to you

Sultan, he wants to make you angry

Stand up!

Do you know, Masr Bay? I was wrong to imprison you

I was weak

But you?

You're weak now

You're no longer a knight The throne made you weak

I am weak, Masr Bay?

- Your Majesty - Step aside, Tuman

What a sad stupid spy you are!

How much did they pay you?

I brought you here to question you

But with your silence it seems you don't deserve to live

Had we left him alive we would've benefited from him more

Take him

Tell Al-Ghuri I won't let my daughter be married at this young age!

And I will not leave the castle of Aleppo even if it costs my life

Are you disobeying an order from the Sultan, Prince Sibay?

And I am not alone in this, Mamluk

Here come the rat the snake's messenger

You are a strange man, Grand Vizier

You harbor so much hatred for Prince Salim and his followers

because I know how evil Salim is

He is very different than his brothers

Why don't you admit that your bias to Prince Ahmed

is what made you hate Salim?

My hatred for Salim is what made me bias to Ahmed

He is the closest to his father as you know

And since he is the closest to his father, what are you afraid of?

I am afraid of the friendship of Salim and that rat Sinan with the Janissaries

May God reward you, Sultan in your misfortune and ours...

with the death of the mother Sultana Aisha Khatoun

May she rest in peace

This is sad

And he couldn't send a messenger for condolences...

Until weeks after her death?

Did sadness stop Salim, or was he busy with the Province's affairs...

so he was late to send his condolences?

He was stopped by sadness and grief no man can handle, your Majesty

Loosing the mother and the sons at once is heartbreaking

It melts the heart

And does Padishah know that his grandsons are dead?

- Is Suleiman ok? - Is it true what he's saying?

- And has the Grand Vizier busy with... - Shut up!

- Answer, Sinan - Suleiman is fine

And you know your Majesty, that the sons of Aisha Jiray were born sick

They were barely breathing

- He killed them? - Your Majesty...

Salim has always had...

a contamination of love for father the Conqueror

And he was amazed when he knew that the Conqueror...

killed his infant brother

Salim, hates the weak

Since he was a child he punishes the weak by killing him

I will send him a condolences letter for his two sons

And I will send it with you No... No, no...

You hate each other

I don't want this war to start

Go Sinan, and you too

You too, Ali

Go and inform Ahmed as it is accustomed

Go on

Have mercy on yourself and speak

- I didn't do anything - You didn't do anything?

You conspire against the interests of people and the country

And you haven't done anything?

- I'm loyal to Sultan Al-Ghuli... - And these letters between you...

And Sibay?

And these names of High Princes? What does it mean?

Don't force me to do what I don't want to do

Don't torture me, Prince

Don't torture me, Prince!

- You are better than that - You are better than that?

It does not concern me It concerns the people

If the interests of the country requests that I torture you, I will do so

I will come by later

Don't torture him, just threaten him

Always remember that he is here to talk and not to die

Understood?

I don't see the Janissaries in their best shape, Younes Agha

The Sultan did not follow the footsteps of his father, the Conqueror

Did he abandon you after the Janissaries put him on the Ottoman thrown?

The reign is now in the hands of the statesmen and politicians

And Prince Ahmed is just like him he uses words...

rather than swords and blood

And Prince Korkut isn't better than his brother

He is busy with books

There is no one like the Sultan the Conqueror

Other than Prince Salim

Prince Salim?

In Trabzon, you will find what makes you happy, Younes Agha

People!

By the orders of our Sultan

Qansuh Al-Ghuri, may God protect him

Taxes for the fighting duty

against the masters of the Mamluks of Aleppo

And any default in payment

will be considered a huge sin similar to escaping the duty to fight the enemy

- Damn you! - Damn you!

What's going on, uncle?

You hate the Julbans, so you make an army of them for yourself?

You hate taxes, so you take 10 months of people's sustenance?

You hate injustice, but the Mamluks of Prince Qait hit people in the market?

- 10 months, Qait? - We spent the money on the Julbans

And you ordered me to collect as much money as I could to build an army

And what army is it, without tools and equipment?

This is true, but 10 months is too much injustice, Qait

Return 5 months of taxes to the people this is enough

And send them a caller to inform them

And what about hitting people in the streets?

Don't worry, Tuman, we will whip some of Qait's Mamluks

And people will forget about the pain of paying taxes, right?

Come with me

I wished our first meeting was in better circumstances than this, Prince

This is the best occasion for a visit

So we don't draw suspicions Leader of the Janissaries

You still don't know how much I cherish warriors like you, Younes Agha

And Janissaries value you and feel hopeful with you

I consider myself a Janissary

I have good news for you too, Prince

I think that the Sultan is about to grant to Prince Suleiman...

- The Province of Bolu - Bolu?

And do you think Ahmed will let this be?

The decree has already been written

The only thing left is the seal of Sultan

Perfect

If we received the decree sealed...

You shall be rewarded greatly for carrying this good news

May God always make me the carrier of good news to you, Prince

Now I have a friend in Istanbul

Are you kidding, Hadim Pasha?

I am only reporting the truth I saw first hand, Prince

We object on him giving Suleiman a Province close to Estonia

- So he gives him one even closer - The Sultan doesn't see things like us

What I see is that he's offering Salim an easy path to the throne

by giving his son this Province

Did he have a change of heart towards me and my sons?

The health of the Sultan is deteriorating

And maybe the end is near As for Salim, he grew stronger

We should watch Salim now

He is aware that I am the Crown Prince

and he will do whatever it takes to get to the throne, whatever it takes!

Don't be afraid

I have men who infiltrated his troops in Trabzon

I will inform you of every news and you alone

This is good, good

Now, we have to think...

of how to take away Bolu Province from Salim and his son

"Calling the evil soul to righteous hopes"

Well done, well done my son

I am looking forward to reading it

It seems like you didn't waste your time in Antalya

I wrote it in the hopes of salvation your Majesty

Salvation? Salvation from what?

From everything, I do not find in Antalya but inescapable misery

All of you want to be near Istanbul

To protect myself from my brother's swords, father

I mean, Padishah

I know I am less fortunate than my brothers to reach the Sultanate

Because I am the only one who did not have sons to govern Provinces

Nevertheless, I wish to protect myself if anyone one of them sits in your place

Enjoy your life, son I don't intend to die anytime soon

- I don't intend to - May God prolong your life, Padishah

But we will all eventually die we can't escape that

And there is no way to escape this bloodline curse

Let me engage in my religion, father and allow me to go to pilgrimage

Later, later

Later

"Calling the evil soul to righteous hopes"

Are you willing to talk now?

I will talk, I will talk

Sibay bay

And Qait Bay, they are conspiring...

Your Majesty, Ibn Muzher finally spoke

- Who? - Qait, Qait Al-Ragbi

He will join Sibay's forces as soon as he reaches the Levant

Then they will all come to Cairo to isolate you

Qait?

Impossible!

Tuman

I want Al-Ragbi here

Bring him to me!

I don't believe this

Move away, Kouka

We will make a delicious soup

Kouka, go and hide there

- Who are you? - It's been a long time

It's you then, I recognize you

- What do you want from us now? - Sultan Qansuh Al-Ghuri sent me to you

- The Sultan? - Yes
