No animal was harmed during the making of this show.

For centuries, many empires were built...

...in Asia, where the Sun rises from.

And in the 11th century, history was recording...

...the saga of a great Turkic empire...

...the Seljuks.

Your eagle gave us the sign of charge, Sultan Alparslan your majesty.

Look closely at that castle, Melihşah, my son.

The blow that we stroke upon the Byzantine in Malazgirt...

...opened our way for the western conquests.

Now, when we take Berzem Castle...

...we will open our way for the eastern conquests.

When the day comes and you ascend to the throne...

...don't confine yourself to what you have.

Our laws order us to carry our banner further from where our fathers leave.

It's my oath to expand our borders to the end of the world, for you and our state.

If I break my word...

May I be carved with my own sword...

...be dispersed like soil.

My valiants!

My lions!

A glorious victory awaits us behind these walls!

Today is the day of the sharpened swords...

...strong arms and brave hearts that fight without fear!

It's the day of leaping like a wolf...

...clawing like an eagle...

...for Allah's approval.

Today is the day of becoming a martyr...

...or a ghazi.

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

Allahu Akbar!

Many children, many valiants were losing their lives...

...for a holy cause.

While many lives were fading away...

...many others were coming to the world.

My son.

Light of my eyes.

Blood of Melikşah.

Thank Allah for blessing us with your healthy birth.

Inshallah, he will be a worthy child for his mother's milk and father's blood.

Thank you, Doctor Hayyam.

Is Melikşah informed?

Allahu Akbar!

Inform the other states about our victory at once, Nizam al-Mulk.

The messengers will take the news to Baghdad, Egypt, Constantinople, China...

...Frank realms. The news will spread everywhere so that...

...whoever thinks of treating us as an enemy...

...will know what is waiting for them.

As you wish, my sultan.

My sultan.

If you give the order, I want to take the news of the victory to the capital.

It's appropriate for Melihşah to give the news to our capital.

You have proven that you are worthy of your sword.

May your sword never return to its sheath without victory.

Don't be deceived by thinking that this field of victory is a product of humans.

Always wish for Allah's approval, so that he will grant you victories.

May you always bring the news of victory.

Bring me the commander of the castle.

We have a bone to pick with him.

One day later.

You have a healthy son.

What about...

...Başulu?

She worsened after birth.

No matter what she did, the midwife couldn't save her.

Sorry for our loss.

Başulu went to a place where there is no return.

But she left you...

...a heart from both your hearts...

...to protect.

As he kept our love a secret and hid it...

...he should hide our child as well, she said.

She said that you both wanted him to be named 'Ahmet'.

My son.

My Ahmet.

Your mother.

Went to the place with no return.

But...

...she left you to me.

For now...

...you are the light of my eyes...

...and the secret of my heart.

Where does Başulu lay now?

You accepted exiles for me.

Your motherliness burned with the longing of your son, Tapar.

And she passed away...

...before she could embrace Ahmet.

Atabeg.

I couldn't protect her.

You protected her at the stake of throwing yourself into the fire.

Now is not the time for grief but to stand tall, Melihşah.

Why? Have the army returned from the campaign?

Sultan Alparslan his highness...

I'm not afraid of you, Alparslan!

He gave the commander of the castle a chance to be pardoned...

...by the war ethics.

You can't discourage me!

But he insulted our sultan.

-Take him away. -His aim was to draw our sultan upon himself...

...and he attained his goal.

While our sultan was returning to his throne, the traitor pulled out...

...his hidden poisoned arrow. And he shot him from the deadly wound he had on his back.

-On his last breath... -It's not the time to think about me but the state.

Get on-road at once.

Ascend my son, Melikşah, to the throne.

Even if the head falls, the banner should stand.

My sultan...

Protect Jerusalem.

Protect the Maqqa and Madina.

From now, move to Constantinople alongside with Melihşah.

He will extend a hand to the oppressed.

He will swing the sword to the tyrants.

It's time to hand over the throne...

...that Allah has commended to us, to the one who deserves it.

Eşhedü en la (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah)...

...ilahe illallah ((and I bear witness that Muhammad is)...

...ve eşhedü en la muhammeden abdühü ve resuluhü. (the servant and Messenger of Allah)

My father!

-It's not the time to mourn, Melikşah. -Father... Father...

-If the throne stays empty, there may be revolts. -Father... Father...

You need to get to the throne as soon as possible.

No.

No... No...

No... No...

Melikşah! Melikşah!

This is the day that you need to be shrewd!

You are no longer the Melik or the Sultan!

You have to take off at once.

My son.

Ahmet... What will happen to him?

Just because Başulu is the daughter of the Kypchak khan...

...many slanders were thrown onto her.

Even though she was your wife, you couldn't stop her exile.

Now if people get to know that you have a son from her...

...both the dynasty and the state will be damaged.

Ahmet's existence must be a secret.

You know that a child from an exiled woman...

...won't be seen legitimate by the dynasty.

Melikşah.

Give him to me.

You have two paths in front of you.

You have to choose one.

A child can blow out the fire of your heart but...

...he will throw many into the fire.

Now tell me...

...your child or your state?

If you leave this sword at open, not me but your enemies will take it.

Then, there won't be any state nor any children left.

Remember the oath you took on the battlefield.

What should we do now?

I will take Ahmet under my protection.

Nobody will know that he is your son.

And you won't see him again...

...nor will you ask about him.

After all, you will be the sultan of the Seljuks.

Everything you do will be followed by others.

If you see Ahmet...

...it will be known one day.

Then, both Ahmet's life and the state's wellbeing...

...will be endangered.

Don't worry.

Your son is a part of this dynasty.

We will prepare a document...

...showing that Ahmet is your child.

If someday, the dynasty faces the threat of extinction...

...we will do what must be done.

If the wellbeing of my state and my child...

...is depending on that...

...even though it burns my heart...

...I will bear it.

My son.

Light of my eyes.

This is not a separation.

I will keep you in my heart.

As you get far away from me...

...we will get closer.

Heirloom from his mother.

His name being Ahmed will remain unknown.

From now on, a fresh life, a fresh name.

So that you can grow up to be a mighty Valiant...

... pierce your enemies like a spear, like an arrow...

... your name shall be Sencer.

The Valiant son of the Seljuk blood.

The grandchild of Alparslan, the father of conquests...

... the son of Sultan Melikşah... Sencer!

To seek your destiny means to break the surface.

Knowing without touching...

... seeing without looking...

... and walking on the edge of death is seeking your destiny.

This path is full of cliffs.

Those who look will fall down these cliffs.

Those who see... ... will go beyond.

This path is not for those who don't know how to see.

Every wrong step pushes you to death.

Bless those who walk in these thorny paths and not complain.

Bless those who don't give up.

Those are the ones who reach the award of destiny.

You saw without looking.

You overpassed one of the most important positions of our cause.

For our esoteric cause arising from our imam İsmail.

... to destroy the fake caliphate of the Baghdad Khalifa...

... and to be victorious against his evil protector, the Seljuk Sultan...

... are you determined in this harsh path?

Until death!

Stand up.

This waistcloth, red like blood, shall represent the blood you shed for our cause.

This waistcloth is the symbol of our leader who lights our path.

You became our friend by wearing this.

When will I be able to appear before our leader?

You just became a fellow today.

You have a long way ahead. You'll go through harsher tests and be a Fedayeen.

Be loyal like steel, patient like a rock...

... brave like an arrow so that you can appear before our Leader.

My Sultan father Alparslan...

The situation calls for divine approval.

I always fought for this cause.

And I kept what I've promised to you years ago.

While I was still a young boy, I took our country's borders...

... and carried them the end of the world.

I brought these sands from oceans at the edge of the world.

My vow shall join your dirt.

Rest in peace.

The darkness of the devil will end.

The sun will rise.

By the devil, they mean the Sultan Melikşah.

They will harm him.

My valiants!

The shadow of the banner my father planted in Manzikert...

... is about to reach Constantinople!

The hearts beating to be honoured by the gospel of that beautiful prophet...

... are ours! - Ours!

We are the ones who swore to save Jerusalem from the traitor Fatimids...

... who formed an alliance with the Byzantine heathen!

We are the ones who swore to keep the Caliphate flag in Harabeyi waving forever!

Our purpose is to believe in the truth and to live nicely.

Our purpose is to bring people truth and beauty!

This sword, even if it doesn't see every victory...

... will pave the way of our generation!

Remember! As long as there are hearts which beat with faith in this world...

... the faithful will be victorious and the faithless will perish!

Long live our Sultan! Your sword shall touch the Ninth Heaven!

-Long live our Sultan! -Your sword shall touch the Ninth Heaven!

So you are the spy of the devil!

Come quick, fellows!

It's already melted. Let's get out of here.

It's melted, Sencer!

How do you know my name?

From whom we were named by.

He called me Arslantaş.

Nizam al-Mulk

Were you able to figure out the signs?

I got what I needed. Let's get our of here.

Sencer!

A naphtha well! They filled the bottom of the castle with naphtha!

They will destroy this place!

Mother!

Where have you been, Mahmelek? Our Sultan is about to come to the palace.

Forgive me. I had to prepare.

I married into this palace when I was your age.

You must not be late for anything. You'll see and wake up before anyone else.

This is what a Hatun of a dynasty does.

You will not rely upon being the Hatun or the daughter of the Sultan.

Real dignity is gained by showing that you're worth it.

Beware!

Head Hatun Seferiye Sultan.

Mother Hatun.

Our Sultan will be at the palace. We've come for your orders.

I'll give my orders from my meeting room, Terken Hatun.

Was the chief chef informed?

Did they prepare the meals our Sultan likes?

Everything is ready, my Sultan.

Our Sultan is coming back from a voyage.

I want him to see his palace nicer than before.

Don't worry. I've dealt with the preparations myself.

You have enough things to worry about as the Head Hatun. You shall rest.

The Head Hatun deals with the state like her stove, and the palace like her eye.

You only the Sultan's Hatun today.

If you become the Head Hatun of the state, you'll understand.

Your duty is to safely give birth to our Sultan's child.

It's my biggest desire.

Bring the documents to be sealed.

You're illuminating our palace with your knowledge.

May Allah protect you and my Sultan father.

Amen, my daughter.

But you can't acquire knowledge with gold.

You must be heedful.

And for that, you must be blind to those who mislead...

... deaf to those who show empathy.

What gives, Sencer?

Our cover was blown, Bozkuş.

They will assassinate our Sultan.

We must go to İstifhan!

Arslantaş! A Nizam al-Mulk valiant.

Aydoğdu! Bozkuş! These are my real fellows.

They were waiting in case we needed help.

The horses are by the reefs. There are also clothes in the pillions.

Let's go!

Excuse me.

- Your highness? - Sadık?

Welcome!

We've been waiting for two years!

We devoted our whole lives to our state, Sadık. We'll stay that way until death.

The unbeatable conquerer of the east and the west!

The ruler of the world with claws in the sky!

Fair and ruling!

Celâl üd-Devle!

His-majesty Melikşah!

- Long live our Sultan! - May your sword touch the ninth heaven!

- Long live our Sultan! - May your sword touch the ninth heaven!

Assassination! Protect the Sultan!

Sencer!

Protect the Sultan!

- My Sultan! - Protect the Sultan!

My Sultan!

Hasan!

My Sultan!

We shall go to the palace.

Kamaç! Brind that valiant to me.

Wait!

Give me your name. I want to know who I'm in debt to.

Over here, valiant!

Sultan Melikşah wants you in his presence.

Where are they?

Just like us, the people missed our Sultan. They'll be here shortly.

That's this rush about?

You need to go inside, mother Hatun. There's been an assassination attempt.

Father...

Is our Sultan okay?

He is in good condition.

Then why isn't he here in the palace?

Tell me! Where's our Sultan?

Terken Hatun! Get a hold of yourself. You heard them. Our Sultan is okay.

Taj al-Mulk. Increase security in the palace.

Everyone to the palace!

Everyone, I said!

Melikşah!

Mother!

Mother, come.

Weren't you with your father, Tapar?

Where's our Sultan?

They left the square before us. They said they would come to the palace.

Will our Sultan come to the tomb?

Not every tomb has a dead body in it.

Some tombs are where people come in to leave this earth.

- Why did we come here? - You'll see your father.

Are you joking?

Not a joke, but the truth.

It's time you find out who you are.

I don't believe you. You said my father became a martyr.

We wanted you to think that until today.

You shall know that he's alive and live accordingly.

Who's my father then? Who was I supposed to think was dead?

You're about to find out.

The magnificent man on that horse.

Is Sultan Melikşah my father?

I don't believe you. Then why am I not with my real father?

My father was the man who ruled the world and there was no room for me?

Come on. They're waiting for you.

How dare you return to Isfahan before informing me?

How was I supposed to do it? You were with the sultan.

And why is this anger?

And you are asking?

Did you not see what was did you cost at the square?

Sultan knows you now.

He will want you at his side now.

What was I supposed to do?

Should I have let them kill the sultan?

You revealed the assassination.

That's enough.

You should've vanished after that.

I guess you forgot, Haji.

He isn't only my sultan.

I didn't forget.

But you need to forget it right away.

Why did I give you this secret?

Why are you saying this now?

Know it, find it, become it.

You know who you are.

You found yourself.

You will be who you are. You will train yourself accordingly and protect yourself.

You can't go further away from yourself.

You will forget your father.

I taught you many things until now.

Now it's time to get the greatest lesson in your life.

You will repeat the secret until...

...you seal it in your heart...

...Sultan Melikşah...

...isn't your father.

-He is your sultan. Tell me...

Why did I?

For me to know that I'm a Melik...

...and protect myself accordingly.

But what did you do?

You put yourself and our secret at risk.

He is both my sultan and my father.

Of course, I would put myself at risk for his life.

Now, I have to inform you about an important danger.

What danger?

So, you are valiant who saved our lives?

My life was honored to be at risk for yours, my sultan.

You have the eyes of a hawk, and wrists of a pars.

What is your name?

Sencer.

Sencer.

You pierced the traitors...

...like a spear and arrow.

You are worthy of your name.

What family are you from, Sencer?

Who is your father?

Sencer is among our particular valiants, my sultan.

When he was a little child, his father was martyred.

We took him under our protection and made him a warrior.

Orphanhood is hard. I know.

Even if you are a world sovereign...

...you carry the absence of your father for your whole life.

Where the father is absent is always cold, my sultan.

But thank Allah, our state keeps us warm.

The state...

...don't forget its children who made a sacrifice for it.

Come with me.

They say ''A mad valiant and a bay horse is always better.''

He is of the bloodline of my grandfather Selçuk Ghazi's own horse.

And he is the son of my horse.

The horse works, the soldier brag.

It is the beneficence of your valor.

It's the share of your sword.

May you be honored in many missions.

Thank you, my sultan.

From now, he is my pride.

If he is of a sultan's lineage, I want to name him 'Cihangir'(World Conqueror).

''Cihangir''

Cihangir is yours.

Coming here as a precaution was a good idea, Haji.

Let's leave now.

Let's find who is responsible of this treachery.

Sencer.

Be careful.

We will be needing you a lot.

World Conqueror.

Your father is with my father and you are with me, huh?

From now, you are better than my brother, World Conqueror.

You are my arms and wings.

You are my confidant.

I could tell my father...

...that the cold freezes me is your absence.

But I couldn't, Cihangir.

Even though this secret cauterize my heart...

...it won't be revealed before its time.

My Melik your majesty.

Guards increased the measures all around the palace.

And protocol order is taken by your command.

The protocol is for the glory of the sultan...

...the people will hear it so that it will be known that our sultan came upright.

We sent guards to take measures along the way to the palace.

Inshallah it isn't like the measures taken in the square, Tâcülmülk.

Our sultan fought in many places before coming here.

But you couldn't protect him in the crownlands!

Whoever responsible for this treachery, will surely pay for their crimes, my Melik.

Not only the traitors, Tâcülmülk...

...the unwary, as well.

Beware! Sultan Melikşah his highness!

My sultan.

Inspect the dead.

I will punish those who showed weakness, personally.

My sultan, thank Allah, you returned safe and sound.

So, you returned from your mission as an envoy.

Your sacrifice at the square is applaudable.

We are here for you, my sultan. I would give a thousand lives if I had.

The real hero who saved you was the valiant at the square.

Everyone expected him to come to the palace but...

That matter is closed.

Everyone had done their jobs.

My sultan.

They may be people wanting to stir up trouble.

Investigations should be done carefully, so that...

...we can find the hidden hand under the apparent.

Get down to the vault right away, Haji. Don't miss any details.

-Selamünaleyküm. -Aleykümselam.

I need vinegar and olive oil, herbalist. I will tend my wound.

Give him aloe, herbalist.

Vinegar and olive can't heal that wound.

How do you know?

How did you recognize me?

I'm a wound tender.

I don't forget an eye that I saw once.

And your wound on your arm.

Turna Hatun is a capable healer.

-Herbalist, come here. -I'm coming.

Give me.

Someone who understands the language of the plants can't be from the city.

Where are you from, then?

I'm from wherever has flowers and leaves.

My home is Şelemizar.

I'm the daughter of Teber Bey.

You are a daughter of an Emir, then? Your father's power is well-known.

Why are you a healer?

For the victims, the oppressed, the destitute.

If Allah put the healing in herbs and the knowledge in us.

It's our job to help the ones in need.

And your talent saved Sultan Melikşah's life.

You guaranteed yourself from now on.

I'm sure the positions you want are opened for you.

Is there a better position than serving the state?

Leave aside getting positions, I can sleep in nameless graves too.

I don't think anything else than doing my duty.

Herbalist. Give me a cloth for the wound.

-I'll go get one. -No need, herbalist.

This will do.

Give me.

You are right.

You are a wound tender.

I should leave.

Aloe burns...

...but heals fast.

Great Seljuk Palace

Sultan Melikşah his highness!

Mother Hatun...

Fortunately, you're here safe and sound, my Sultan.

Allah granted you to our state.

How is your health, Terken Hatun?

Our first support is Allah, the second one is you, my Sultan.

What is this disaster, my Sultan? Who'd dare do this?

Those who can't fight us, disguise as us and try to stab us in the back.

We were so scared that you'd get hurt.

I myself will find who attempted this.

None of this would have happened if you took measures.

You're the ruler of the world. The beam of the State of Seljuks.

If you fall down, the world would shake.

The state doesn't exist just for us, mother.

The head might fall, but the banned will stand. Don't worry.

My father Alparslan, after he fell, left us behind.

Our sons we'll leave behind will maintain the state.

Their arrows, daggers, clothes... All belong to our army.

They must have marks.

We'll search thoroughly.

There's a mark here.

What did you find?

Double-headed eagle.

That's the mark of the Turkmans in Anatolia.

What a shame.

They eventually attempted to take the Sultan's life.

They think they're trying to avenge Kılıçarslan who was imprisoned!

Is that how deep your investigation goes, Taj al-Mulk?

We can't give orders unless we're completely sure.

Everything is apparent, your-highness.

This mark is theirs.

What you're talking about will cause a war among brothers.

Is that what you want?

What would the state's dignity be if we don't make them pay?

Even if this seal belongs to them...

... I won't allow anything before I go over it with a fine comb.

You're the wisest of our state.

But the Grand Council will make the decision.

What happened, valiants? Where's our Bey Kılıçarslan?

They were victorious.

Sultan Melikşah imprisoned Kılıçarslan.

First, they killed Süleimanşah, now they took our Bey Kılıçarslan.

It's time to avenge our Beys!

- Revenge! - Revenge!

Alps!

Put the swords down!

What's going on here?

Where's my brother Kılıçarslan?

He was imprisoned by Melikşah.

We resisted. But... We failed.

Melikşah swore to exterminate us, Elçin Hatun!

Will we now defend ourselves like lambs?

We were connected until today. But its time to revolt!

- Revenge or death! - Revenge or death!

Swords to the sheaths!

To the sheaths, I said!

Will we not avenge our Beys, Elçin Hatun?

Anger sweeps one's mind away.

And a mindless head doesn't stay on the body.

We can't tolerate any more losses.

Don't you know that everything has a time?

These swords left their sheaths once, Elçin Hatun!

We can't be valiants if we don't avenge our Beys!

Even if you're scared, we don't back off from our cause!

Revenge is on this sword of my ancestor Süleimanşah!

And the sword is in my hands!

I decide when and for whom to draw it. Understood?

My word is my brother Kılıçarslan's word.

If you disobey my order, you're disobeying his order.

It's time to sharpen the swords with patience.

When the day of revenge comes, my sword will shed the first blood!

Now mind your own business!

This much revenge will end you, Melikşah.

Not the infidel's rule, not the devil's order...

This world needs you, mighty İmam.

The solution is in your absence.

It's time to rule this world with your magnificence.

There are people who don't obey the Batıni cause.

They will fall.

The Seljuks will crumble.

From the destroyed homelands...

... Fatimid's glorious banner will rise.

Leader İbn Attaş, your-highness.

I've burned the bad luck smeared into me in the lands of devils.

I came to your presence pre and clean.

We spread terror into the head of devils Melikşah for our cause.

Our fedayeens became martyrs.

Order and I will become a martyr just like them, dripping every drop of my blood.

You're needed on the ground. Hasan Sabbah.

You entered the devil's lair for our cause.

By the name of İmam in the seven skies. For our innocent Khalifa...

I'm sealing it with our blood and prayers.

Your head is sacred like a sacrificial animal.

Hasan...

I ordered you to train yourself and train other men for you.

But you infiltrated Batınis.

I had to, Haji.

The men I trained fell into their practices right in front of my eyes.

I knew something was going on.

What did you find out?

In their councils, they not only teach science.

It's the exposed face.

They're behind the assassination.

What's the base for your claims?

I saw a messenger arrive while I was there.

He came with a brown belt and left with a different belt.

I learned that they'd harm the Sultan after I found the belt.

Did you leave any traces behind?

It's all in the ground.

Don't worry. Except for your man.

How did you get out of there?

You taught us to fly like the birds and swim like the fish.

The attackers attacked disguised as our soldiers.

We found marks belonging to the Anatolian Turkmans on them.

What they did could cause a war.

They're trying to make us fight.

I had a suspicion about this being a trick from the beginning.

And with your words, it's obvious that Batıni's are responsible.

They're the real danger.

They can be disguised as anything, anywhere.

- Were you able to take the belt? - They destroyed it.

That belt could have been strong evidence.

Explaining this is the Grand Council will be difficult.

Your scar is a war medal. Treat it that way.

As it aches, it doesn't hurt. It makes you proud.

The deeper our scar, the deeper we're in this, your highness.

Our goal was to enhance both the Sultan's and the Nizam al-Mulk's trust in us.

You'll rise as you gain their trust.

From the inside.

It's time to harvest the fruit of your actions.

They'll decide to declare war on the Anatolian Turkmans in the Grand Council.

This will make them fight each other.

We will rise as the Seljuks fall.

The holy İmam's cause will rise and spread in these lands.

I won Sultan's favour.

We paved the way for those devils to fight each other as well. But...

There something else which worries me.

What is it?

Our Fedayeens posed as Seljuq soldiers.

It was impossible that anyone except for me knew that.

However, someone stood up and revealed our assassination attempt.

It can't be someone from outside.

It must be someone that infiltrated in us.

This person can ruin our trap to set Seljuqs against each other.

I will let my people know. They will question Fedayeens.

If that person infiltrated in us...

he will reveal himself somehow.

GREAT SELJUQ PALACE

Tell me...

Who betrayed us?

Signs show that it's Turkmen's in Anatolia.

Do they want to take revenge for Kilij Arslan and Suleiman ibn Qutulmish?

Suleiman ibn Qutulmish...

We commanded him for the Anatolian conquers.

But he betrayed us. We didn't want him to end up like this.

However, if he didn't make him pay, everyone would betray us.

And we detained his son Kilij Arslan so that...

Anatolian Turkmens wouldn't gather up and try to rebel.

So that brothers don't clash.

How dare they try to attack?

In return for thıs attack, we have to punish them with our state's glory.

Whoever the guilties are, they have to be example of betrayers.

What do you think, Haji?

The ones who know about the problems between Anatolian Turkmens and us...

try to pass the buck on them. Their aim is to set us against each other.

If we go without a clear information, we'll be trapped.

I respect Haji's opinion, he is trying to be cautious.

But, we have evidences, my Sultan.

Taj al-Mulk says the pray is obvious.

You say it's unclear.

Then, who causes it to be unclear?

I suspect Batinis.

What do they have to do with this?

Isn't this attack is bigger than what they can do?

They can be small to our eyes, but they have deep connections inside.

I suspect that they have connection with Fatimids.

Hajı is our state's prominent person.

Then he shall reveal his evidences in front of Sultan so that...

there is no unclarity left.

The information I recieved is hidden for now, Taj al-Mulk.

A hidden secret that state protects.

If there are hunting dogs around...

There should be a hunter also.

We need the hunter.

We didn't detain the brother of Kilij Arslan.

We will bring him here and question him.

If this is done by Anatolia, he knows that.

Then there is no unclarity left.

And we can see everything.

They are going stand up to keep Kilij Arslan's brother.

I'd like to carry the duty if you command.

It will be fitted for good warriors to accompany Tapar.

Yes, my sultan.

Sencer.

I want that valiant to accompany Tapar.

He has proved himself...

...both with his fists and his wits.

He is capable enough to do this mission.

As you command, my sultan.

You aren't doing anything else than putting blocks on my way.

But in the end, everyone will listen to what I say.

Emir your highness...

...your door was opened. When I heard that you are angry, I got curious.

Come, Hasan.

I hope it's not a calamity that makes you mad.

If there is something that we can do, we are at your command.

It's over your level.

It's about the assassination of the sultan.

I hope those traitors are found?

We found evidence but Haji Nizam al-Mulk says someone else did it.

Then, Haji his highness must've found evidence about those others.

He has but it's a secret.

So, they must be big people. Haji his highness must know some things.

It's just a little sect. What can they do?

I know his intentions. He has a grudge on them.

Our sultan is just. He will follow evidences.

That's right.

Firstly, we are waiting for the sibling of Kilij Arslan. Then everything will be apparent.

Kınık Tents.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

Atsız Bey gathered all the valiants...

...instead of living like timid birds, I rather die as a wolf, he said.

Firstly, he conquered Jerusalem and raised the Seljuk flag.

Then, he raised the flag in the East.

From Damascus to Egypt, he conquered many lands.

After all, when Atsız Bey became a wolf...

...the lands he stepped on became home.

Our tents are his tents.

Now, you listened to it and you know it. You will understand it well...

...so that you can be wolves like him.

-Sencer. -Korkut Father.

Sencer brother. Sencer brother.

Oh my valiants!

You are getting your lessons from our Korkut Father, as we did, huh?

Inshallah, our tents will grow bigger and stronger with you.

Kids, move out.

-Sencer. -Korkut Father.

-Balaban. -Brother. We awaited your arrival.

-Ayaz. -Brother. Welcome.

Thank Allah, we see you better than we left you.

My lions, my shrewd valiants!

Welcome back to your tents.

Thank you, Korkut Father.

Our cause and paths are together with Aslantaş.

We didn't want him to be separated.

From now, our place will be together as well.

May you live worthy of your name, Aslantaş, my son.

You should know that we embrace you as one of us.

May you all live long.

Sencer!

If people find out that Melihşah is hiding you here and he'll have a child from you..

I left my son, Tapar, in the palace. Don't separate me from the child in my belly.

If the Kypchaks find you and get you, and if you have a son...

...they will claim the throne.

Melikşah will be responsible for this. This may cause his execution.

-What about my child? -If Melikşah thinks you are dead...

...he can't take the kid to the palace.

But you know that they will kill the child from an exiled woman.

For that reason, Melikşah will give the child to my protection.

And I will bring him to you.

A child is a treasury for the dynasty.

Even if not now, the day of his value will surely come.

If you die, you all will live.

But if you live...

...both your child and the man you love will be in danger.

Mother.

My dear mother.

My most precious son. My son that I bred with halal milk.

My heart hurt ever since you left.

Now that I hugged you, the pain is gone, my son.

But if you await me like this in every duty I go to, I'll be thinking about you.

Even when I'm with you, you look at me as if I'll get lose.

You are my only pride, my only assurance...

...and my only foundation.

I'm scared to death that a stone might hurt your feet.

Look, after all, this is your day.

Let's go to our tent.

I'll give you food to fill your tummy. I'll give you ayran too.

Let's go.

Welcome.

How is my homeland? I missed it very much.

Thank you, my sultan. Our lands are prosperous.

May Allah protect Karahanlı dynasty.

When you sent news, we came right away.

When I lost a son of mine...

...I started to lose my faith in the midwives of the palace.

I didn't want to leave myself or my baby to their hands, with this uneasiness.

You are of the same ancestry as me. I wanted to see people I can trust.

Be at ease, my sultan. We are at your command.

You are my guest here. Don't abstain from anything.

Beware! Seferiye Sultan!

Who are these women supposed to be?

They are midwives, Khatun Hanım. As you know birth is soon.

I invited them from my own lands for the birth.

While everyone is at your command in the Great Seljuk Empire...

...why are you inviting people from Karakhanids?

I lost a son before.

I want to be warier now.

Stop this nonsense. Many children were born in this palace.

My health, life of your grandchild, are they not important?

Of course, they are. But this is Seljuk lands.

We have the best of the midwives and science.

And a midwife who doesn't carry Seljuk blood can't deliver the sultan's child.

Don't bring new customs to the palacce.

The child will be delivered by the palace midwives.

And send these women back to their homes.

Kınık Tents

Look, you are hiding it. I see it on your eyes.

Tell me the truth, what happened?

At the square of Isfahan...

...they attempted to assassinate our sultan.

I got the wound while fighting them.

Son, why did you risk yourself?

What if something had happened to you?

I had to, mother.

If I hadn't, something would've happened to our sultan.

Who we are talking about is not only my sultan...

...but also my father.

Son, why did I hide our secrets for so many years?

I suffered many things to protect you from danger.

Look, I left one son of mine at the palace.

Who knows what a shrewd valiant he is now?

He doesn't know me.

Don't let me lose you too, son.

I don't have any other foundation than you in this world.

Don't worry, mother.

Before the time of death, nothing can happen to a man.

And only Allah can know the time of death.

We trust in Allah.

Isfahan

Melihşah.

Terken.

You never give up on fumes, herbs...

The calamity we had is apparent.

I'm so afraid that our enemies may hurt you...

My crown. Don't expect any good from those things.

Only Allah can write or change destiny.

If we were the only ones concerned, we can surely resist it.

But we have a child to born.

I know your concern. You want to give me a healthy child.

All your efforts are for this.

I can put effort, I can...

...but my power isn't enough for some things.

What, for instance?

Because of the grief of losing a child, I invited personal midwives as a precaution.

But Seferiye Hatun didn't allow it.

Why?

Because they are Kharanid.

She doesn't want them in this palace.

Seferiya Hatun thinks about the laws and customs of the dynasty, no doubt.

But, would I invite people that shouldn't be hosted at the palace?

But I still can't defy Seferiya Hatun.

She is the Head Hatun of our state, after all.

My mother wants to the measures for the palace, and my wife for our child.

May Allah give you both long lives.

Lift your head.

Your midwives will stay.

What about Seferiya Hatun.

-I don't want her to be offended at me. -The order is mine.

Thank Allah for the day your name was written in my heart.

You rule the world but...

...I rule your heart which is better than thousands of worlds.

I need to take care of something. You go on.

It must be important.

May it be easy, herbalist.

-Are you all right? -I'm fine, I'm fine.

Go, go.

Why are you following me?

I didn't know you rule the streets of Isfahan, daughter of the Emir.

Sencer. You asked my name.

My name is Sencer.

What do you want from me? Why are you coming after me?

I don't go after anyone.

But you always come in my way.

-Who, me? -Of course.

-Why? What would I have to do with you? -That's for you to tell.

Let me tell you, then. Listen well.

I don't know you. And you are the one following me.

Now, step back.

You dropped this.

If you listen and look first, you will understand that not everyone is trouble.

Haven't you left yet?

-Why are you still in the palace? -We were told that we would stay here, my sultan.

Who gave this order?

Who spoke over my decision?

Will of our Sultan Melikşah.

What does that mean now?

Have you taken my decision to the sultan?

I wouldn't dare that.

Our sultan asked about the midwives, and I explained him.

So, the great sultan asked about the midwives among all the trouble?

You are the one who will give the birth, do what's necessary, he said.

Understood, Terken Hatun.

Our neck is thin for the orders of the sultan.

After all, customs says, the neck that knows how to get thin for the orders...

...of its superiors, gets bent.

But the thick one gets broken.

Tell us, our ear and eye from the enemy lair. What have you seen there?

The council gathered. The marks we left on our martyr fedayeen have worked.

They saw it as evidence that it was the Turkmens' doing.

But that wolf named Nizam al-Mulk...

...suspected that a small sect may be behind this assassination.

It might be us.

The fedayeen had nothing related to us on them.

How did he suspect us?

He said ''a secret'' in the council. He must've got secret information about us.

News from our secret place in Deylem. Our fedayeen there were martyred.

Who did that is unknown.

This is a work of spies.

It must be someone Nizam al-Mulk infiltrated among us.

There is no other way that they could find out this assassination.

What's important?

Kilij Arslan's sibling's interrogation is decided.

Sultan will interrogate her and make his final decision.

It is apparent that this is a trap. Why are we still messing around with them?

Contrariwise, we are trying to clean their names.

If we take Kilij Arslan's sibling, everything will be a complete mess.

Can't the state see that?

Hear what you say!

If everyone could've understood what the state can think...

...everyone would form their own states.

Tell me the good side of doing this, then.

I was among them, I saw everything.

Or, can't the state see anything behind the walls of the palace?

It's apparent. I need to teach you well what seeing means.

Move.

Increase all our precautions in every place.

Whoever gave information about us to Nizam al-Mulk...

...we will find him.

Inside the palace, Hasan. Outside, you.

Our cult leader, if devils start to come at us...

...with your order, we can kill both the sultan and Nizam al-Mulk with our daggers.

Melikşah and Nizam al-Mulk should live...

...so that our Hassan Sabbah can rise in the palace.

Our aim is the wheels of the state.

We haven't run out of arrows yet.

We have one more chance to make a move.

What is this place?

The world that we hold in our hands.

Come.

Read it. What does it say?

What artisans speak at the marketplace in İznik.

Come.

Read it.

The Uneasiness of Byzantine soldiers in Constantine.

You think our state looks outside from the inside...

but our state has many eyes outside.

Come.

Provide the unity in the east.

Then walk to the west.

Protect Jerusalem from the enemy.

Give stability to the Caliphate.

Then open up the roads of Constantine for the conquest.

That's the secret of the aim which will rule the world.

You taught me all of these.

Anatolia is the sword that we'll thrust to Byzantine.

Whenever this sword goes to the west...

a hand tries to get us back.

This hand belongs to Batiniyya.

Divan-ı Ala (the council) helps them.

That's what I'm mad at.

What you've told has been our aim for 40 years.

You want to act through what you saw today.

But the statelooks 100 years back...

it acts through 100 years later.

How will the fire in the Anatolia blow out?

When Kılıçaslan's brother is interrogated...

we'll understand whether it was them.

We should bring him here alive.

It's the only way we confront Batiniyya.

Sultan Malik-Shah I charged Tapar to bring him.

You'll go with him.

I told you he'd remember you.

See?

When you try to move me away...

my destiny makes me closer to my brother and father.

You won't get closer to them.

Because this will be your last duty here.

Or else, we'll live on our nerves.

They'll interrogate Kılıçaslan's brother to learn what's right.

If you let us, we should make a move.

What do you think?

We have fedayeen in the Turkmen tent in Anatolia

We should let them know.

They should set a trap for the soldiers who is to take Kılıçaslan's brother.

Anatolian Turkmens are mad already.

Our fedayeen will find alliances from them.

Malik-Shah I will be sure that the assassination is done by them.

There's more.

Maliktapar will be with the soldiers.

Sultan Malik-Shah...

was cold against the assassination.

Let's see if he is cold when his son dies.

Wolf made a move.

But...

his paws will be empty.

Our Sultan trusts you...

as he sends you for this duty.

Did you think the opposite?

No.

But people are anxious about you being ahead.

They try to drive a wedge between you and our Sultan.

Terken Hatun charged you for the attack.

How dare her...

She says you weren't cautious enough.

Don't listen to her. Her words are nothing.

What matters is that my father believes in me.

Don't underestimate her.

She's after the power even when she hasn't got an heir apparent.

She'll choke us if she'll have a son soon.

She'll get in return if she dares that.

She'll have an order soon...

not something else.

First emirship, then Sultanate.

May Allah give a long life to our Sultan.

We'll do whatever we can when it's time.

You'll be a Hatun then.

Come, Maliktapar.

When I kill you, I'll be serving Batıniyya well.

They're here, my Sultan.

The guards will come with you.

They are led by someone we trust.

Your command. Don't worry.

Your duty is hard.

But you're able to deal with it.

Yes, my Sultan.

I'm ready for the harder duties.

When the tree bear fruit...

we won't let it rot.

May Allah help you.

- Are you the guard? - Yes.

Let's go. We can't lose time anymore.

We'll continue the road when it's morning. Get ready for it.

Your command.

Your horse.

We came a long way, he's fine.

He's noble.

His name is Cihangir.

Cihangir?

Having a horse like it isn't everyone's chance.

So is guiding me.

You have our Sultan's trust.

How did you do it?

We work for our duties.

We do whatever necessary.

The rest is up to our Sultan.

You don't like to boast.

When I was a kid, my father would take me to hunting with my brother Berkyaruk.

He taught us everything.

Did your father teach you hunting?

My father...

he taught me everything.

And the state.

When he died, the community became my dad.

Our state community) is big.

It becomes both our father...

and mother.

Is your mother alive?

Thank Allah, she is.

I was raised by the state.

I grew up there.

I became Malik but...

I always felt a need.

A need for a mother.

I wanted to know how she smelled.

She died when I was a kid.

When I sense a smell of soil...

I think it as my mother's smell.

I memorize it as hers.

May Allah protect our state which protected us.

What can a son do when the father leaves nothing...

what can someone do with father's belongings when there's no state.

If you excuse me.

Isfahan

There was something you wrote in your political treatise.

The best rulers lighten with knowledge.

They show the right way with this light.

What if that light blew out?

I've fought in many wars for 20 years.

But I felt the death the first time.

So...

what if it blew out...

what'd you do?

As long as it has a flame to keep it revived...

it'll never blow out.

I thought it when I ascended the throne.

You were right that day.

My Sultan...

who's the right one today?

My sons will show when it's time.

Tapar and Berkyaruk's skills...

you see them for years.

My all sons.

Son.

Son!

Anatolian Seljuq tent.

I'm Maliktapar.

I'm here with the order of Malik-Shah.

What happened?

You don't come here for a good reason.

We're here for Kılıçaslan's sibling.

Where is he?

He killed his father.

He took his brother, isn't it enough?

We have no one to give you.

Why are they still talking, your highness Malik?

Don't give us a rough time.

Or you'll pay for it.

You'll kill us too?

What do you think you're doing?

Stand back, Hatun.

We're here to take Kılıçaslan's sibling.

Know your place.

I'm Kılıçaslan's sibling. I'm his sister.

Elçin, daughter of Suleiman ibn Qutulmish.

Why does Sultan Malik-Shah want me?

You know.

He'll jail you too.

Elçin Hatun...

There are some people who have tried to kill our Sultan in Isfahan.

We think they are the soldiers of Suleiman ibn Qutulmish.

So, our Sultan wants to interrogate you about this.

What kind of slander is this?

If we wanted to kill him, we'd fight him then.

Doesn't he know that?

Does he want to start a war against us?

Elçin Hatun...

you should know that...

if you don't come, there'll be a war for sure.

Even our Sultan has proof...

he wants to decide after your interrogation.

There's something big, Elçin Hatun.

If you go there, you can't come back.

Talk again and I'll cut your tongue.

Our Sultan doesn't want a war, Elçin Hatun.

That's why you should come.

If you're not guilty, it'll be obvious then.

No one wants blood anymore.

I'll tell Sultan that we aren't in this assassination.

I hope he believes.

If he doesn't, it's his fault if something happens.

Wait in the tent.

No one follows me.

Burçak, come with me.

This is our point of honor now.

They'll come at us when we stand still.

They took everyone from us.

Then we'll write our own edict.

It's a trap!

Protect Elçin Hatun!

Trap!

My Sultan...

you summoned me.

- They ran away! Follow them! - Your highness, Malik!

My Allah, give us all good.

Protect all of us.

What's this?

Down!

Look at me.

We'll keep going...

Or we'll burn alive.

I'm burning inside.

Where is my son?
