I heard what you were talking about.

Why didn't he see me? Why didn't he see me?

We were also in the same situation years ago.

When I decided that day, I decided despite all my pain.

I held on to my state I held on tight.

I soothed the pain...

...of my son's absence.

And today, I need to do what I'm supposed to do, too.

The day the secret is revealed surely will come one day.

That day, when both of us are sure...

...no power can stand against it.

The power and experience cannot be separated.

And the thing suits you is protecting what I entrust you.

Just like you protected my son.

Have no worries in your heart.

Your father did the right thing.

You're right.

That he wanted to see me after all these years, healed my wound on my heart slightly.

My father did the right thing.

And before the state reaches safety, it's impossible for me to come together with him

Now it's time for duty.

your blessing.

Stop.

won't leave you alone.

The sword is useless with the pen.

We need a man of knowledge surmounting over Batinis in the field of wisdom.

I'll go Yusuf Emedani for this.

Batinis increased their precautions.

This time you'll have a hard time to infiltrate. Don't forget.

We face a great danger.

The men I sent to examine the ones ambushed you, didn't come back, too.

We have some information about Batinis.

You need to know so you can infiltrate by using this information.

Where is it?

Selemzar.

If I see him around my daughter, especially in Selemzar, I'll execute my own order!

I see your concern.

Because it is Emir llteber's lands, it will be hard to act without being seeing by him.

This is the most appropriate way.

Because it is where the Batinis are densely populated.

Emir llteber has no importance for me besides such a duty.

There should be no signs that it is you. Leave your horse at the tribe.

You will go there with a new horse.

When you get there you will attract their attention.

In this way, they will let you in among them.

How will this happen?

We found out the tribe where Alexius' murderer lives.

We can slaughter all of them with one raid, Yorgos.

We have to be sure the murderer is there.

Therefore we'll join the and find that murderer first

Then, I'll kill him slowly by looking him in the eye.

Is this the man you suspect, blacksmith?

Yes.

But first, well take care of the ghosts chasing us.

KINIK TRIBE

Perhaps they have important mission until today, brave men.

It's such a mission that it's up to us to prevent our

brothers' death and protect the state from collapsing.

These men are different from any other enemy.

In this mission our minds must be sharp as well as our swords.

Arslantas and I will '! infiltrate among them.

You will support us from the outside.

You will stay in the tribe for precaution, Balaban.

This issue is a burden on our shoulders.

Welcome, Korkut Ata.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

If our brave men gather around the fire and take

out their swords, it means we'll have a war.

But this is a harder war than the wars we go with an army.

Our enemy uses the devil's tricks.

We have such a castle in front of us that either

we will take it or it will destroy us all.

Hayber Castle was a strong castle like that,

but the faith that caused to take it was much stronger.

What do you mean, Korkut Atar .

Hayber Castle was on the way to Makkah, Medina and Damascus.

The Muslim army surrounded it.

There were over two thousand martyrs.

But the castle didn't fall anyway.

Prophet Muhammad PBUH said on this... (On the day of the battle of Khayber)

"Tomorrow I will give the flag to somebody who will be given victory

(by Allah) and who loves Allah and His Apostle and is loved by Allah

Allah will make this conquest possible by his hand.

Then he called Hadhrat Ali RA.

Our Prophet Muhammed PBUH gave the J flag of Islam to Hadhrat Ali RA.

He tied Zulfiqar around his waist himself.

And he said, "Fight until Allah grants you this conquest and don't ever give up."

Hadhrat Ali RA got on his * horse and went to Khayber.

The faithless ones in the castle were surprised to see that he was coming alone.

"With what kind of courage can you come in

front of Khayber alone like this?" they asked.

And Hadrath Ali said this "I'm the shah of the brave

ones, strongest in fights, son of Abu Taalib, Ali"

I'm here to take this castle from you."

"This sword I'm carrying is named Zulfikar and

this sword has been the doom of all infidels."

"And my bravery comes only from my faith."

Infidels were afraid of Hadhrat Ali's courage.

Merhap came forward amongst them, the strongest of them.

Hadhrat Ali defeated the strongest of the infidels in a duel, with his Zulfikar.

p When the army of Islam saw it, they were encouraged.

His bravery and courage gave strength to everyone.

The army of Islam attacked.

It was such a battle that, Hadhrat Ali opened the gates of

Khayber alone, which was said that it could never be broken down.

With Allah's help, the castle was conquered.

In short, the strongest weapon brave ones have against the enemy, is their faith.

When you are covered with it, there is no one you cannot defeat.

Every brave one who fights for the name of Allah, is an Ali,

and every sword they strike the enemy with is a Zulfikar.

So fight with your bravery, which you take from your faith.

And do not turn back.

Terken Hatun scares me.

If only we could escape from this palace quickly...

Do not let fear in your heart.

That's the most powerful thing they have.

We won't make mistakes after showing weakness to their empty threats.

We will find the way to save my , brother and leave this castle.

Will we be able to do it । without losing our lives?

If necessary, we will die fighting.

I'm in this palace for one reason, and that is to save my brother Kilicarslan.

Until I learn where he is, I won't let Terken hatun wear me out.

KUVEL CASTLE

Here is Kuvel, my Sultan.

We took our precautions secretly, but still...

..I wish you didn't risk yourself.

This castle belonged to us recently and hyenas hold it now.

In order to get rid of all of them, we need to know them better.

If there wasn't a trade agreement between Seljuk and Byzantine...

I wouldn't let a single muslim merchant here.

They all have their permissions, right?

Yes, sir.

Let's inspect them a little.

Wheat look big and fresh, where do you bring it from?

It's the produce of here, we don't buy from outside.

We harvest a lot every year.

Nice work.

Thanks.

Why did you ask about the wheat, my Sultan?

Since they harvest wheat every year like this...

...there is a water source that comes here, which we don't know of.

If the wheat is plenty every year...

...there must be a source we do not know.

We have to cut it off during the siege.

The nephew of Emperor Romanos. He wants the revenge of...

...his father being captured by my father in Manzikert.

But if he insists, he will live the same fate as his uncle and get in jail.

Let's visit the blacksmith. Find out what kind of iron they use for their weapons.

You!

I've never seen you before.

Who are you?

In Selemzar, you will be disguised as traders and act as though the enemy of the state.

There are men everywhere. You will get their attention.

And I will set the necessary “ arrangements in the bazaar. O

You've visited every seller in the bazaar but you don't look like a buyer.

Are you a trader or are you inspecting here?

You should've realized I was a trader...

...when I only visited the stands and didn't buy anything, commander.

Because us eastern traders don't buy before looking and haggling.

Show me your permission paper.

"Trader Abdusselam"

The stamp and the ink is fresh Like a few days old.

But these permissions are annual.

You've created your own document to inspect the place.

This paper is durable.

However, you'll see that it eroded on a small impact.

The paper is soft because we've come from sun-scorched roads.

In short, because it is softened, it looks like it is fresh.

You are a smart man, Abdusselam.

No other response would've convinced me.

Do not just bring the products of Kuvel Castle to where you go...

...also bring Commander Andreas' genius.

Especially to Isfahan.

Commander.

The meaning of my name is "the servant of Allah, Who is to be praised"

I will work out what a smart man you are in Isfahan.

And in my next visit, I will bring Isfahan's regards to you.

Sable coat worthy of Sultans.

We brought these for noble people like you.

How much dinar you want for it?

It is worth 3 dinars, but 2 dinars is okay.

Take this 1 dinar, and work nicely.

Is 1 dinar enough?

Say something.

Use it on good days.

Work nicely.

EyvAllah.

The rules of the state are known.

It costs 5 dinar to trade in this bazaar.

What are you doing, sir? Don't you know how hard it is to earn 5 dinars? \

This is just cruelty, it has no place in our religion, or our tradition!

These taxes are found suitable for tradition with

Seljuk firmans and with judge rulings for religion.

You have no place to question it!

Is this Allah's will, or benefit I of the Allah's servants?

Look, I don't want disorder here, you either pay your taxes,

or get the hell out of here.

Here.

Use it well.

Only our life left, which you didn't take.

You will be our Azrail too, if it contiunes!

This cruelty will end one day, too!

Have a nice day.

Thanks.

"I fell into the trap of love when I was young."

"I fell into the trap of love when I was young."

"I fell into the trap of love when I was young."

The fur of the fox that wanders in the bazaar should not touch my lover

It's not a state, but a bunch of bandits.

We came from all that way, and they took our money.

Can I sit down, brave ones?

Sit down.

We heard about the unfairness you experienced.

We are having the same problem.

Your goal is right, but you cannot I fight against Seljuk Empire like this.

Go away, you are their man too, don't try to trick us.

Don't get mad immediately, if you knew opportunity

that came to you, you wouldn't act like this.

What opportunity are you talking about, Efendi?

Look, brave ones

The issue of the oppressed people is that they

don't have an united voice against their oppressors.

No one from my tribe in Herat will come here, that's for sure.

What is your problem.

I want us to be united, we should speak against them together.

So that our voice should shake the oppressors.

We are good like this, you can go away.

Wait a moment.

Tell us, what's it about?

We started a cause with people that are oppressed like you.

Both the sharia and the tradition's truth lies in that cause.

What cause is this?

You cannot convey the beauty of a flower with words, son.

You need to smell its essence.

You have some skill, what I want is to bring you to that essence.

How can we know that essence will be the solution to our problems?

Don't you want to get back what is yours?

What is there that you can lose in this path?

We have nothing to lose.

But this road has thorns on it, it might cut your feet.

It cannot be worse than their cruelty that cuts our hearts.

Then don't waste your time here anymore.

Come on. Come with me.

Commander Andreas.

As you command, I asked the traders.

That two men were so interested in iron and wheat.

The most important things a spy would want to know in a castle is equipment and food.

We can catch them before they leave the bazaar.

We have an agreement with Muslims, don't forget that.

Emperor doesn't want to break the agreement with Turks.

I can't get his rage upon me.

After they leave the bazaar, send men after them.

Let them catch them.

Make sure they learn who they are and what they want.

- Then let them kill them. - As you command, sir.

Stay where you are. Dismount your horses.

What is it? Why have you crossed our way?

We have questions to ask.

Now we have something to catch up.

Keep your questions for our next visit.

You either answer our questions or you can't go one step ahead of here.

Obviously, Andreas won't stop until he clears his doubts about us.

Send words to our force unit around the castle.

There might be an ambush.

For your commander wonders who we are...

...make sure he looks at your corpse carefully.

Because the last thing remains on your fearful faces...

...will be the figure of Sultan Meliksah.

Why did we stop?

You played it good, brave ones.

But it's over now.

Now it's our turn.

My lonely falcons.

My strong warriors, you have been on duty far from your home.

You have slept on rocks, as if it was “your bed and the sky as your blanket.

Don't worry, when the time comes, we will conquer Kuvel Castle.

And you are the pioneers of this goal

When we volunteered for this hard task, we made an oath saying that...

"We accept even to be buried without tombstones, we just want our state to prosper...

...and our Sultan to live long."

Yalman, my brave one.

We gave this name to you when you took your sword in your hand for your duty.

It means the sharp edge of a sword.

You didn't embarrass us, you have always been the sharp edge of our state.

Don't worry now, your family is my family, your children are my children.

May Allah protect you, my brave ones.

What playing are you talking about?

A play of pigeons.

Some hunters send trickster pigeons amongst the pigeons they want to capture.

And those tricksters lure the pigeons to the trap of the hunter.

In this game, the hunters are the oppressors.

We are the pigeons that the l hunters cannot capture.

And you are the Seljuk tricksters to lure us to a trap.

You are the one that invited us.

If you think we are Seljuk spies, why did you invite us?

So the cruel hunters can see that we cannot be tricked and trapped...

...and to make an example out of you.

ends here.

If you have a doubt, come.

While there are oppressors, I won't clash swords with you.

If you have no doubts, ga get out of our way.

We can fight against the oppressors without you, too.

If you are this determined.

Come with me then.





Now, we will learn who you are.

Let's see if you are really from Herat.

W This fuse is determined ; by my questions.

Jh t . 14 ; fnf IJ If you hesitate, you I'lr W'H be late to answer.



Then this fuse will burn the ground you sit on, and you will be impaled.

KVVCL KALGL KUVEL CASTLE

This man has the duty of questioning the merchants that come to the castle,

But I am the one who understands the merchants are actually spies, not him.

Look at this, look at this well.

Put it in your minds what will happen to the ones who don't do their duty well.

Aren't these the soldiers I sent after the spies?

We ran into them while patrolling around the castle, sir.

They were all dead.



Spies!

Spies!

How could these two spies kill many of JJ our soldiers all by themselves, sir?

It's not easy to be able to kill many soldiers for ordinary spies.



Turks did this right under our noses!

I'll respond to this on their own lands and it will be a harsh one!

There are many steel stratums around Herat.

But your sword is made of Indian steel

Why would a man from Herat uses a sword made of Indian steel when there is steel in his homeland?

You're right. It's Indian steel.

In our lands, Herat steel is mined not to forge but for sale.

For this reason, the tribesman in Herat make their swords from Indian steel.

From which mountain does the river in Herat come out?

Which crops does it water? Tell me.

That river does not water any crops. Because it's water is salty.

The rivers' water are never salty.



What kind of river is this? It's water is salty, my eyes are burning.

Not all rivers have freshwater. You should know that.

To understand this, you have to look at the tributaries of the river.

If it passes through salty soils, the water would also be salty.

Why should I know this?

In this world no knowledge is learned for vain.

A piece of knowledge that you think is not a useful one may save you from death one day.

You're wrong.

Not all rivers have freshwater.

If it passes through salty soils, the water would also be salty.

Since this river passes through salty soils, no crops can be watered with it.

I believe that you are from Herat.



We test everyone because the Seljuks are trying to infiltrate spies amongst us.

You passed the test.

It is time to take you ,'v where you deserve to be.



Get the doctors to take care | of the injured immediately.

Gumustekin, Uner, Mecidulmuk, Taculmulk...

 and then you are next Nizamulmulk.

Sultan Meliksah is back in the castle, messenger.

He is in disguise and one of the soldiers with him is injured.

He was gone for two days, he must've gone somewhere far.

Go to that soldier and find out what happened and how he got injured.

This road goes to Selemzar. Are we going there again?

Selemzar is a desert of cruelty.

I am taking you to the oasis in the desert: To the Batini zone.

It is a heaven.

You called for me, Hatun Ana.

I saw your discussion with Elcin Hatun.

You've been a Sultan Hatun for many years. Don't

you know how to treat a guest in the palace?

Especially a guest from a member of the dynasty.

You've disappointed me, Terken Hatun.

Our Sultan has forgiven Elcin Hatun.

You don't agree with the decision of our Sultan?

How could I dare? I only want greatness for our Sultan and our state.

However, as you said, I've been Sultan Hatun for many years.

In these years, I've seen many ill-willed people who wanted to hurt our state.

I've found out that an enemy who rebels once... .

...never bends the knee again.

They want to infiltrate us in many ways and poison us.

| We keep people by our side to win them, Terken Hatun1,

It is not your duty to be concerned about state affairs.

If you have a concern, every hatun in the palace comes to me. You talk to me.

You only have a duty: make sure the baby in your belly is healthy.

I've warned you about Elcin Hatun before.

If you keep this up, I'll have to take precautions.

We have prepared the gifts you ordered, Seferiye Hatun.

Take them to Elcin Hatun's room.

This is our area.

The Seljuks like to pretend as though they are leaving us alone and not oppressing us.

In reality, they want to keep us in somewhere specific.

We want to live a peaceful life with victims like you escaping from oppression.

Our way of trade works here.

Good luck.

How does a trade work without money?

The evil money of this fake world cannot divide the brothers.

The purpose of traded here is not to profit...

...but help brothers to get what they need.

We cannot let the blood i money divide us.

Why are those people waiting?

This is a brotherhood. The poor can get food whenever and however much they like.

Nobody can ask who they are.

There is no "you" or "me" here. There is "us" fighting against oppression.

A place of happiness.

Please, come with me.

Show us the way, oh great faith...

...in this dark place

This is the place where soiled souls purge.

This is the place shattered hearts come for shelter.

These people are knowledgeable.

This family asks for help from the great faith.

Let us taste this. Let us drink from this fountain.

It will be trouble for you if you drink it before your time comes.

You have to know about the manners.

You have to go through a lot to reach that level.

And how do you reach that level?

With patience and loyalty.

The seeing eyes are blind to everything except for the Allah's voice.

The ears have to be deaf so that voice can influence the hearts.

Here, every level requires a sacrifice.

You've tasted this joy just by walking through the door.

Do you see that door?

There are many doors behind it and they are narrower.

Behind every door, you will feel a thousand times more joy than you feel here.

You've seen many beauties here. We have been honored by your beauty.

But now it's time to leave.

Can't we stay here?

Patience is a gate.

First, you need to open that gate.

You know us, you learned our ways.

Our door is open to everyone that waits patiently in front of it.

HEMEDANi LODGE

Peace be with you, Dervish.

Peace be upon you, too, Hace Hadhrat.

May you have good luck, and may your purpose be our state's well being.

May your coming bring peace, and your destination be blessed.

EyvAllah.

I wanted to speak with Hemedani Hadrath.

Is he available?

He has a private guest inside, please sit down, let us serve you something.

Since I need to wait, then it means it's an important guest.

It's Imam Cuveyni's successor.

Cuveyni called him "a sea without a shore".

"A sea without a shore"

One question burns me, it bleeds my heart for years, like a dagger.

It wavers my heart like a hidden sin.

What can it be that you couldn't find the answer

on the desks you studied, in the books you read?

while I was going back from Gurgan...

...bandits attacked our caravan.

One bandit took all the notes and books I had from Gurgan.

When I begged him to give my books back,

he said something, it stabbed my heart like a dagger.

"So when I take away your books, nothing is left from all the things you have read."

"So it's knowledge that a bandit can steal from you?"

I went home and learned everything I had for the last 3 years by heart.

I thought I was protecting the knowledge against all the plunders.

Such a mistake.

I read from our master Cuveyni.

Our master has passed away.

While everyone was sad for his passing away.

I'm being sad that I couldn't take over his place.

All that knowledge could not stop me from my desires and delusions.

After that bandit, my desires now stole the knowledge from me.

Tell me, master, is there a way to the truth, that is truly mine, which cannot steal from me.

Come, son.

Let's take a walk in the garden.

Welcome, Hace Hadrath.

Thanks.

I was chatting with Abu Hamid Gazali, Cuveyni's successors.

We wanted to go to the garden so our hearts could be opened.

The stage is left to the Batinis and fake scholars that tell lies.

The backbone of scholarship, Cuveyni has passed away.

Now, they are confusing the mind of the folks even more.

And I came here to speak with you regarding this matter.

We have a well, of which water cools us down.

Come, let us offer you that and drink together.

Can you pull the water from the well, son?

If the bucket has been in the water as much as water has

been in the bucket, it would keep us all cooled down.

Now, it left itself, i and us without water.

Our wisdom and religion are just like this bucket.

We are in Islam.

But is Islam in us?

The thief is guilty, but is the homeowner innocent?

If the doors are closed, and then locked...

When the doors are closed and our hearts are filled with faith.

Let me ask you. Who can steal it?

The death of the wise is like the death of the realm.

However, the realm is not unprotected, Hace.

You're looking for a pen to keep religion alive...

...and Gazali is looking for his life source.

That source is healing to the heart that beats with faith,

power to a pen that writes with faith and a sword that rises with

Are you crazy, Yorgos?

I can't prepare a fake merchant document on your behalf and send you to Kinik.

I'll be in trouble.

Why? Aren't you the Christian merchant manager?

You are both in charge of the Christian

merchants and the ambassador of our empire here.

We will get in that 'tribe as a merchant.

Do what you need to do.

I can't. If they learn, the Seljuk won't keep me alive.

Yorgos. Don't.

won't let the Seljuks do it.

But if you won't do what I told you...

you'll see your wife's and children's dead bodies when you get home.

Do you understand?

Yes.

So he injured in the combat?

Since he was in disguise, he didn't fight at

the Seljuks lands. Otherwise we would know it.

They went to Kuver Castle.

What does that mean?

If there was a combat there, he would have guessed

that the commander of the castle would respond to this.

Therefore, before the commander does anything,

he'll send a messenger to the castle to stop them.

I should be that messenger.

Everything was just as we wanted.

I entered their terrains, I approached to the door.

Once a door closes, the other opens.

We don't have time to try every door, Hace.

How are the preparations for war?

Taculmulk gave the instructions for manufacturing the swords.

Soldiers started to prepare.

How are you so calm then, Hace?

We need to infiltrate among them before the war starts and reveal everything.

They used a technique to endear themselves and gain your loyalty before.

We will do what they want.

We will start a new game.

There will be a fair in Salemzar tomorrow.

Batinis will definitely be there to express themselves.

It is a great opportunity for us to get among them.

That snake Elcin Hatun's venom has paralized everyone already.

Seferiya Hatun is threatening me with her words and the gifts she sends to her.

Shouldn't we take care of her before it's too late?

It would be a mistake to do that before it's time for it.

Seferiya Hatun is a cautious about us.

Sending Elcin Hatun is impossible when she is under her protection.

And I want to stop that woman for the safety

of our Sultan and state too, not just for me.

What are you thinking?

We'll cover up our tracks.

Well start by drawing the people around her to our side.

Be friends with Elcin Hatun's maid and gain her trust.

We'll have her in our pocket when it's time.

Salemzar

Do you think they would believe this?

We don't have another choice.

Bozkus will provoke the people against the Batinis when he gets my sign.

We'll save the Batinis from them then.

You go that way

Okay, okay. The show will start when you take your seats.

May Allah always make our children laugh.

They are the joy of our lives.

Welcome, healer.

Thank you.

It's nice to see you here.

Have some candy.

Here you go, take some.

Don't be shy.

Are these the children that you wanted to heal?

Yes. Allah bless you.

They are fine thanks to your science.

I wanted to visit you. What you said z to me that day still makes me think.

You told me that Allah gave life to many herbs.

That you need to understand them, feel their breath, look them in the eye.

And I want to understand them, feel their breath, look them in the eye.

Turna Hatun, intent is the key to everything.

Your heart is in the right place. Science will try to find a way to flow into you.

I Come to me whenever you want. I would like to answer your questions...

...help you speak the language of nature.

However much I can, of course.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Easy, Bozyele. We have a long way to get to Sirdagi.

And these roads are very dangerous. Passages that wait us are very narrow."

"You naughty boy. I won't let you take these dangerous roads.

I am very tired, get off my back. Or I'll drop you myself."

"I thought you were a brave horse but you are just a chicken.

The mighty Bozyele is scared of a mere mouse."

Really? I'll show you now."

"Why did you drop me?"

"You shouldn't have called me a coward, you naughty boy.

"You can be more cautious when the danger is all around us.

Only the madmen go to certain death."

Brother.

Come to the Kuyu Street Tuma."

Why are you here? What are you doing in Salemzar?

I'm here for the bazaar like everyone else What is wrong with it?

Why are you so mad?

My father did not threaten them, he threatened you specifically.

He told you not to come to Salemzar ever again.

sorry, Turna Hatun

I'm not one to listen to threats.

- Is your life worth nothing? - Is it not my life?

Why are you so worried? - Of course it is your life.

I care not. I just don't want to see blood spilled.

Nobody would endanger their lives to come to the bazaar.

Tell me the truth, why did you come? And why are you dressed like this?

Should I have worn my usual clothes and let Emir llteber see me?

Oh no.

Go now or you'll lose your life.

The Great Seljuk Palace

We will hit the road before the winter when the

necessary preperations for the war are done, my Sultan.

This is how we mapped the roads for campaign.

What news are there from our spies in the area?

The last winter was harsh, my Sultan. This winter is supposed to be harsher.

So if we take these roads before the winter ends...

...our army perishes.

We raid in the most ideal time, not the earliest time possible, Taculmulk.

If the snow drops, our catapults, our animals...

...and our equipments will perish, my Sultan.

See? What do we have now?

Are we facing defeat before we reach our target?

Raids are not done with soldiers alone.

You need to communicate with scholars who know about the weather conditions...

...with guides who know about the terrain.

Organize the campaign from scratch.

We have to solve Anatolia problem as soon as possible...

...so that we can reroute our forces to Kuvel first...

...Constantinople next.

Prepare for hunting lessons, Tapar.

As you order, my Sultan.

We need to be sure before Andreas tries to do something in our lands.

Bring an suited ambassador that we will send to Kuvel Castle.

As your order, my Sultan.

O my brothers.

Madams' (teachers) and scribes just make us read the Quran.

But we need not only to read, but also to know it.

And to know it, we need to dwell more into it and learn it.

Only then we can save our world and our afterlife.

You unwary man!

How can a poor man like you represent the words of Allah better than scribes?

Who do you think you are that you are trying to guide these people?

O Muslims, 0 Muslims! This charlatan wants to damage our religion.

Let's not allow him to do so!

Attention!

What kind of words you utter and create a commotion among my people?

I'm trying to save the faith of these people.

Where did he come from?

I'm inviting them to learn the truth.

We gave you a place here.

Live your faith in your own place.

Do not try to confuse the minds of my people with your heresy.

I won't allow it!

The real heresy is to deny the truth we are telling.

I advise you to listen to it as well, Emir llteber!

The path you follow, is not Allah's path!

You damn dog! The real path is to cut the heads of heretics like you!

Enough with your cruelty and murders!

Catch those bastards!

Who threw these? Catch them!

Work nicely, ambassadors.

Thanks.

We are going to send an ambassador to Kuvel castle.

You went before to the lands of Byzantine.

What information do you have on Kuvel?

Since it's on the border, they have many soldiers and many merchants go there.

We can make preparations and depart in 3 days.

That will be a door for us to go into Anatolia.

But Byzantine sees it as a lock.

There are people amongst the ones here that won't die before

witnessing the strong evidence of the existence of God.

From Gospel of Mark, a sentence that talks about the foreseeing of the Messiah.

On every Sunday of the Holy Cross, Kuvel's people gather and read this...

...and start their sacred day called "Sunday of the Holy Cross"

What does that mean?

On Sunday of the Holy Cross, Kuvel's people do whatever that gives them happines and joy.

On days like that, it is easier to inspect that place, and get information from the people.

And this sacred day just began, we need to depart immediately without waiting 3 days.

Come with me Hasan.

You saved us from those evil ones with your bravery.

Show us your face, so I can know who you are.

You...

You risked your life for us, now they will track you down.

You are the carriers of the banners in the battle against the oppressors.

Our lives are not important.

Live long, brave one.

But one of our men is captured by that cruel llteber.

They also have my brother, we need to do something.

We won't be seen until things calm down.

Go to Huri cliff and wait for me there.

We will find a solution.

Cruel llteber’s men, they are after us.

You go into the woods, I will make them follow me.

See you at the cliff.

Stop!

Come to me!

We will show our strength bends your weapons!

We have been following you since Selemzar.

We made it on time before we lost your track, thanks to Allah.

What did you speak with Behran, did they accept you amongst them?

Not yet.

First, he will decide what to do with Arslantas and other captives.

He told me to wait near the cliff.

Don't go alone, we should come with you, too.

We will protect you secretly.

Don't worry about me, if they understand you are following us, everything will be ruined.

Aydogdu, tell everything to Hace.

We need to meet with him.

Wait for me in the forest.

I will come after I meet him.

Come on

My Sultan.

So you are suited for the task of being an ambassador, Hasan Sabbah.

You showed up in the most crucial moment.

If you command my Sultan...

I would command only with intelligence and wisdom.

Tell me the news about the Kuver Castle.

Over five-thousand soldiers protect it.

Their needs like supplying and swords come from Constantinople.

The ships bring them to the coast of Black Sea and then they carry them to Kuver.

This transportation path r is very crucial to them.

You didn't have anything to do with Kuver until today. How do you know these so well?

No, I personally didn't. But my state did.

I know that the Kuver Castle is the main target for our great cause.

The messengers should always have information about crucial matters.

Tell me then. Do we always need to frighten the Kuver commander about us to stop him?

Not always, my Sultan. Just when we need to.

The strongest trump we have is to provoke him against his own state.

His uncle, the Emperor Romanos, made a peace agreement

with our deceased Sultan Alparslan after Malazgirt.

They promised each other.

However, the Byzantines killed Romanos.

As we remind the castle commander what happened

to his uncle, we increase his hatred of the empire.

This can be our advantage

Our messengers should have knowledge of politics just like you.

It's your duty Hasan Sabbah.

Go to the Kuver Castle and show them our state's power.

How should I do it, my Sultan

Who took Behram from me?

How can we know that. If you don't know, we can't know it, either.

Are you still not going to talk?

But I know how to make you talk.

I will go to heaven.

I'll cut you in peaces in Salemzar square for it to be a lesson.

They killed a valiant partner of our cause.

For his head, for our cause, I swear to take revenge on them.

The time will come when we take revenge on that cruel llteber.

But first we need to save the life of our friend Rustem.

He is the most reliable one among our men.

Also, he is the one who knows our most crucial secrets.

Even if our friend Rustem dies, he won't tell our secrets.

However, it's not clear which method llteber will use to make him talk.

He will try everything to make him talk.

I went to llteber's mansion once in the past.

It's protected like a castle.

The surrounding walls are strengthened.

The inside is like a labyrinth, it's full of tunnels with no exit.

The person that goes there should be brave and smart.

There was a brave man who rescued me from llteber, he came here to support our cause,

but I sent him away to test his patience and loyalty.

His friend is captured with our friend Rustem.

His talents are enough for this duty.

If he gets caught, they'll think he's there for his friend. So, we wouldn't be in danger.

Give him this duty.

Going to the Kuver Castle as a messenger as Meliksah ordered

is a good opportunity for you to have a higher position.

Become a bridge between the devil Seljuk and the fatihless Byzantium.

In this way, we can direct them both.

Increase the Seljuk hatred Commander Andreas has in his heart.

So, he will have to oblige to us.

Behram.

When you talk about the issue with that brave man, wait first. He should seek the duty himself.

If he hesitates to fulfill the duty, kill him.

Nobody should know that we will enter the mansion.

KINIK TRIBE

Basulu Ana.

You've just healed Basulu Ana

You should rest, I'll take care of this.

I'm healthy now, thank you.

Those who come to purchase are important merchants. Be nice to them.

Have a good day.

Thank you. Welcome.

Basulu Hatun.

Have a good day.

Thank you, Korkut Bey.

Who is this important merchant?

He didn't come before. But, Dukas, who is responsible for Christian merchants, sent news.

They're wealthy merchants, obviously.

Inshallah the sale will be good so that you can get through this winter.

Inshallah.

I will talk about the summer and winter issues with the Oguz Beys, son.

You'll take care of them

Don't worry, my Bey. I'll earn a lot of money for our tribe.

Inshallah, son.

They're coming.

Good luck.

- Welcome. - Thank you.

I am the bey of this tribe, Korkut.

We work with Anatolia and Constantinapolis.

We could not find the goods in the quality we seek.

When they recommended you, we wanted to see your tribe.

Good, I'm glad.

Our furs are derived from weasle, our leather from buffalo.

Our rugs are made with original Turkmen process

It will be a very lucrative trade when we find what we are looking for, Korkut Bey.

-Inshallah. No doubt

But it would be very good if you can provide us with a blacksmith.

What is it?

Here.

My horse's shoe is broken. I need a new one.

For a horseshoe, I cannot find a better place than a Turkish tribe.

That's true. Then, my son Togan will accompany you.

You can visit the blacksmith and look at our stands.

Come with me

Sorry.

You know...

...we have to hear the sound of an ant.

No need to apologize. You are admirable.

Here you go. A small prize for your favor.

Don't get into more trouble.

Give this to the poor.

I don't seek gold, I only seek to help the cause.

What will happen to our jailed brothers in ***

- Are we leaving them to the cruel? - I will try to save them myself.

What can you do?

Peace be upon you, brave soldier.

I will save them.

We need you for the cause.

I threw myself into fire once. Either I get out of it with my brethren...

...Or I die in that fire.

If you get out the fire alive by dawn tomorrow...

...you will have our utmost respect, you brave man.

- My Hace. - My Meliksah.

You are always beautiful.

But today, you have a different light on you.

The midwives say if will most likely be a boy.

We will have a son.

Inshallah, our son will wear this cap I made with my own hands.

My Terken, you have given me such good news...

...my heart is about to leave my body.

May you live a happy life.

May I live by your side

May all my lives be yours.

I heard you are going hunting. Don't worry.

May your arrow find its target like a shooting star.

Thank you, Terken.

If I have a son...

...I will make his crib with the pelt of a wolf I hunted down.

Have a good journey.

I've sent the news to Is she coming here?

If we need to meet in Salemzar...

...we can meet in the forest first.

Whistled arrow.

Hace.

What is happening? Arslantas is in jail and this is not good.

They arrested Arslantas when I was saving Behram.

Emir llteber's soldiers are chasing me.

I told Behram I would be saving the prisoners.

- He gave me time till morning. - Why did you take on this responsibility?

It was the only way to earn their trust.

Their offer was a test. If I didn't accept, they would've killed me.

Good. Good thinking.

But going there means endangering your life.

I will talk to llteber and take the prisoners. Wait to hear from me.

If you take them, how will Sencer take the Batinis?

He will save them from my soldiers.

It is harder to save them from Nizamulmulk's soldiers than llteber's palace.

This will put Sencer in a better place for Batinis. |

We make our own food, own drink, own clothes.

We even mine the iron ores from the black mountains.

I've never seen such strong arrows.

Does the hole tribe hunt with these?

They are not for sale, trader.

The arrows are for our own soldiers. They are not for everybody.

The shoe is ready.

It looks like it was broken by a hammer and not a rock.

I've never seen such horseshoe before.

You steppes are hard places.

My horse's shoes are weak for this area.

What are you doing, Balaban?

Why are you asking him such questions?

Don't you want us to make any money?

Then, let him look at what he wants to buy.

And you show him what you want to sell.

This tribe has special places and secret information.

Can we stop keeping an eye on the strangers?

I accompany the trader.

He's under my responsibility.

You don't involve the things bigger than yourself.

Are you going to only hunt animals on the ground, Melik Hadrath?

We'll hunt birds, too, of course.

I thought it because all the arrows are long.

As you know, short arrows are much more suitable for bird hunts.

And only talented hunters are capable of hunting birds with short arrows.

Obviously, you are a skillful hunter, Elcin Hatun.

I went hunting on the hunting grounds among our mountains.

I shot so many animals both flying on the blue skies or running on the black earth.

I've been longing to hunt for a long time.

I couldn't hold myself when I saw the hunting equipment. Excuse me.

Our hunts are not for hunting.

But to check our hunters.

It will be a more enjoyable hunt for me with skillful hunters around me.

Bring one more horse, Kamac. Take short arrows, too.

I don't know how the hunting grounds in Anatolia are.

The mountains are harsh in these lands

And hunting grounds are like traps.

It's better to be careful, Elcin Hatun.

So, you won't be a prey instead of hunter.

Don't worry, my Sultan. My arrow knows its target.

What does it mean?

This Hatun has gone too far.

Too far...

She crossed the line by even going hunting with Sultan.

It must be handled as soon as possible. As soon as possible...

Hace Nizamulmulk Hadhrat.

Welcome, Hace Nizamulmulk.

To what do we owe this honor?

Rage is the biggest enemy of your position, Emir llteber.

Especially, a man in your position should be much more careful.

What does it mean taking a man's head in the middle of the square?

He was not an ordinary man.

He was one of the deviant Batinis.

He disrespected and got what he deserved.

You haven't been thinking about the rules of the state these days.

You know Batinis have privileges.

You can't take heads like a performing a show.

I want to make you remember the words you said in that tribe, Hace Hadrath.

l have the authority in Selemzar.

Our state allowed them to live in a separate region.

Yeti, their deviancy has I spread in my lands.

The state's balance has been | quite sensitive these days.

And we don't want to disturb it.

And you are obliged to obey this balance.

Now, to bring the balance back, I want you to give me the two prisoners you captured.

They disrespected me in my own lands.

As you know, our state doesn't involve...

...in the internal affairs in Selemzar.

It's beyond your internal affairs.

It affects all the Seljuk lands.

We don't want to break the peace

And the thing increases the crime is your execution.

Give them two prisoners so we close this case.

Did the Great Hace Nizamulmulk...

...come here just for | two ordinary Batinis?

Is the peace of our state, which doesn't hesitate to take heads...

...going to be broken because of these two ordinary Batini?

What is the reason of your insistence, Hace Hadrath.

When the subject is the peace of the state...

...Nazamulmulk goes anywhere.

Set aside two Batini, even for a little ant...

...he can go anywhere in the world

The matter is obvious.

They are my prisoners.

Moreover, the matter has been devolved to the the judge.

I'll judge the ones, who rebelled against me in my lands, before the law.

This is under my authority.

This rises the waters so much.

And you will be the first one, who will drown on those waters, Emir llteber.

I don't want to only save them but also you.

Act reasonable by controlling your rage.

I've said what I need to say, Hace Hadrath.

I'll hang that man, who raised his hand to

me, to send a message in the square of Selemzar

Okay.

You want to respond to the disrespect, which was done to you.

Know this well

I The state also responds to the disrespect, which was done to it...

...without hesitation one day.

I warned her.

Yet, she always did whatever she wanted.

It will work out.

You'll pour this liquid into the lamp.

After a while the lamp is lit, it takes the ones around it under its effect.

And slowly make them lose their minds.

And no one wants to be with someone crazy.

But don't worry. After she leaves the palace...

...she'll be healthy again.

She left me no other option.

Go quickly and detain the girl called Burcak.

Detain her so that.

...I can enter her room.

Kids.

Your combativeness amazed me.

Tell me. To whom you are aspire that you fight this well?

I aspire to one of our old beys of our

tribe, Atsiz Bey. I want to be just like him.

Good.

And who is the bravest one in your tribe now? Don't you aspire to him?

The bravest one in our tribe is Sancar brother. I aspire to him.

There is no one, who can use sword and bow like him.

Even his horse is the best of the horses.

Which one? The one on the right?

Yes.

Turkish horses are famous all around the world. I want to take a closer look.

Here.

For kids praised him this much, Sancar must be an important person.

He's just a wanderer and his only quality is bringing trouble to our tribe.

I see.

Especially, its nails is strong.

So, it runs so fast even in harshest lands.

This is where Akeksios died. Why did you want to see here?

I'll start to track my revenge from here.

It's the horse tracks of his killer.

What's is the situation, Erbatur?

Was that man, who raised his hand to my father, found?

Not yet, Turna Hatun. But our soldiers are after him, don't worry.

And what won't return without catching him.

Who are you Sencer?

Who?

Emir's daughter...

Now I will also have to make an explanation to you.

Everyone will learn the truth.

I'll show her true face.

Even if I die, they shouldn't give up on

their goal of saving my brother Kilicarslan.

Whoever stands in front of this goal, is our enemy.

They should not refrain themselves from getting rid of these enemies.

Traitor!

Traitor!

I knew it

I knew it!

I knew you were a treachorus snake!

I'm going to kill you with your own venom!

KUVEL CASTLE

On the Sunday of the Holy Cross, only taking

revenge from our enemies can make us happy.

We will make Seljuk pay for the death of our soldiers!

You are my death angels that carry blood in their palms.

Infiltrate their lands like ghosts, haunt them like nightmares.

I Kill their soldiers without any trace, and put fear in their hearts.

Put out this fire of vengeance that burns us, with blood!

Seljuk ambassador is here

Call them in.

With regards of Sultan Meliksah

I'm here to talk with you, as his representative.

Commander of the castle, Andreas.

So Sultan Meliksah remembered us.

Sultan Meliksah never forgets his neighbours.

And I was wondering why your famous bazaar is closed.

So you invited all the soldiers and merchants

here to celebrate the Sunday of the Holy Cross.

We live pain and the sacred days together.

Like how we share our happiness and rage.

Let's get inside.

We already cornered the game, Sultan Meliksah.

I told you that you couldn't find it there.

I must have cornered it here!

We almost cornered it.

It was impossible for it to reach your side, how can that happen?

The skill is not about running after it and catching it.

It is managing to lure it to your trap.:

I moved in a manner that your moves made it come to me.

And you didn't check your surroundings when you were after it, Elcin Hatun.

You were also trapped, too.

There are a lot of wild animals here.

Before they get the smell of blood and come around, let's go back to the hunting tent.

The soldiers will bring the deer.

You didn't leave the poison there, my lady.

It was not necessary Fridevs.

I found something that, Elcin Hatun won't be able to stay here long.

When our Sultan reads this will, he will believe me.

He will see that I was right to suspect her.

The seal on it.

It's the seal of that woman's execution.

Head Hatun Seferi Sultan.

Hatun Ana..

I heard that you were prepared to go to the hunting grounds.

What made you take this immediate decision?

I think the air of the mountains will be healthy for me.

There is no other reason.

You thought well, but it's better for yourself to

search for health by resting, instead of mountain air.

I have not been outside of the castle for a while.

Being at the hunting grounds with my Sultan, will be good for me, too.

We all think about you and your child's healt.

But the road is long.

It won't be good for your pregnancy.

The death of your child before, has made us all sad.

You wouldn't want the same thing to happen, right?

I wouldn't, Hatun Ana.

Pick up these things.

Sherbet was made, Fridevs, go tell them to bring some.

It will be good for Terken Hatun.

I'm so hungry.

There is nothing to hunt around...

It's not the time to think about food.

If we build a fire, our location will be known.

Hace is coming.

Did you manage to save them?

He is being so stubborn.

He didn't give them to me.

He said that these are lands his rule is final.

And he brought the matter to the judge and he is right.

He is angry that we were against him in the tribe.

I will solve it in a different manner.

We have no other choice, Hace.

They gave us time until morning, it's our last chance to infiltrate them.

If you go save him, it means you will risk your life.

llteber's took great precautions.

If necessary, we will try another way to infiltrate them.

We cannot, Hace, there is no other way left.

Didn't you say he is being stubborn?

Ilteber will execute Arslantas, too.

I have no other choice but to save them.

I need to infiltrate them in order to stop the campaign to Anatolia.

Okay, but go alone.

You cannot go all together.

Aydogdu, ayaz and Bozkus should accompany you and take precautious outside.

I will do what's necessary.

The reason of our visit is written here.

Our Sultan is glad that you are honoring the trade agreement.

And we will continue to protect the Byzantine merchants,

bankers, folks and everything that belongs to Byzantine.

He wanted you to know that we all know where

they are, what they do with all the details.

We are grateful to your Sultan.

If our relationship continues like this, we won't even need the Empire for agreements.

Your uncle emperor Romanos made an agreement with our deceased Sultan Alparslan.

But it is obvious what our Sultan did in Malazgirt, when he did not keep his promise.

If you are done talking, my soldier will take you out.

Boil the grudge Commander Andreas has in his heart against Seljuk.

Do it, so that he will be in need of us.

What I'm going to say is that, choose who you want to be a wolf against...

...and who you want to be a sheep against, Commander Andreas.

We speak, with regards of our past.

Do not forget the past.

Meliksah's words, what do they mean?

He knows the death of our soldiers, too.

If we do anything against them, he will pay us back with the Byzantine people in his lands.

That's why, he sent an ambassador to scare us.

What are we going to do, sir?

Keep the special task force on hold that was preparing to attack.

We are going to do everything through Yorgos.

The things this ambassador said made my grudge against them even greater.

We need to be on good terms with Batinis.

We will need them.

Enemy of our enemy is our friend.

Let's rest here a little.

As your order, ambassador Hadrath.

I will feed my horse, f so you can rest.

What is it, ambassador?

When we look at the arrow marks on the trees, the fight happened here.

When we look at the arrow marks on the trees, the fight happened here.

But, it's obvious they were not 5 people, they had reinforcement.

There is a secret reinforcement force stationed around Kuvel Castle.

If we can can manage to find them, the opportunity to damage Seljuk will come to us.

A mound near the forrest, and a well here.

The rope is wet.

So it means that someone drinks regularly from here.

Peace be with you.

Don’t look at the well too much, traveler, you might fall into it. Ms

And peace be upon you, too

Thanks to Allah, I saw the bottom of the well, I won't fall into it.

What about you?

Aren't you afraid of being a shepherd in borderlands?

We are safe here with the sheep.

We only have some sheep and our lives, who would harm us?

And looking at your clothes, you must be ' state officials, what are you doing here?

We had a task in Kuvel.

We are here to feed our U, horses and drink some water.

Thanks to Allah, nature has given us what we wanted.

Then have safe travels.

That mound is where Meliksah's men sleep, this well is where they drink from...

...and that guy is one of them.

SELEMZAR

That's the blind spot.

I will go in from there.

At down, the guards eat.

I will go to the kitchen and get into a disguise.

I will put some herbs in their food to make them sleep.

Did you bring what I want?

This is the herb.

And this will make your work easier in there?

Be ready, if a commotion occurs, you can enter.

Ayaz.

You, come here.

Who? Me?

Yes, why are you playing Kopuz at night?

I just wanted to have some fun, come, have some fun, too.

I will show you fun, stay in the dungeons for one night and...

Are you sure that he is the killer?

The marks on the horseshoes of his horse and the

tracks near my brother's dead body are the same.

His coming and leaving the tribe are not regular, he is a troublesome guy.

That guy Sencer must be a special warrior.

I found Sencer's tent.

He lives with his mother, but he is not here yet.

What are we going to do? We managed to stay for

tonight, but we need to leave in the morning.

If he is not here, then we will make him come.

Then we will make him come to our feet.

- Who are you? - I'm new here. Is this for the guards?

I don't know anything about this.

Now you do.

Where have you been? We are starving.

We have never seen you before. Where is Yasir?

He was taken ill. I'm the new help. Enjoy.

Thanks.

This will mean rebelling against the state.

We have to let Hatun J Ana know about this.

Elcin has tricked Seferiye Hatun's mind.

She would not beleive us if she sees this will.

We will take care of this.

We will catch up before our Sultan goes to hunt.

Emir Taci sent news. Everything is in order, Terken Hatun.

Today, we have hunted together.

But I wish that one day, we will fight against our enemies together...

...and be victorious. When Anatolia meets with peace...

...you will be the most important link in this union, inshallah.

You are very kind, my Sultan.

That is my whole goal.

May Allah show us those blessed days.

My Sultan, there is news from Isfahan.

Ebul Kasim, who was the proxy for Anatolia...

...is near Isfahan. He wants to come before you.

Tell Ebul Kasim to not wait in Isfahan and come here.

As you order, my Sultan.

If we keep devious people like Ebul Kasim among us...

..it will be hard to keep us as one, my Sultan.

Think your words carefully, Elcin Hatun...

...because it leads to wrong places.

That man has plotted against Kutalmis' son so many times.

We know he was always after his place.

Anatolian reign is for those who are blessed sons...

...not for those who are devious.

How dare you vent to us?

You and Ebul Kasim both answer to our Sultan.

If there is injustice, our Sultan will provide the justice.

You are supposed to be k content with your share.

We sat down wishing union, health and fortune.

Should you try to question our power, spill out words of hate...

..then you will not like what you get from our justice system...

...Elcin Hatun.

It's almost morning, sleep already.

It's morning. The road gets longer and longer.

We're almost there. Don't worry, we'll get there.

Yasir?

Faster, Cartwright. Faster.

Mother!

My Sultan!

Turna?
