Original subtitles

The laxity of my eye is getting worse every time you treat it

Your Majesty, your eye won't heal until you cut the excess off your eyelid

Abdelkarim! What are you doing, man?

I will not let you near my eye with your scissors!

I swear I won't cut it till it goes blind

As you wish, Sultan

May God hasten your healing

God willing

God willing

Are you disobeying my orders Younes Agha?

The Sultanate needs a warrior to restore order

And no one could restore the order...

But the one who roots out turmoil

I will never give up my throne to anyone as long as I live

I will never give it up!

I fear, your Majesty...

That you have no choice

Bring me Salim I want to speak with him

I will name him Sardar on the entire Ottoman kingdom

With that, I would have...

I would have... Solved everything for you

Come ahead

to take your position as Sardar

and lead all the Ottoman army

Excuse me, your Majesty

Being Sardar now is not enough for me

Are you dethroning me and I am still alive?

No father, God forbid

But these men won't obey me unless I was their Sultan

And as you know, our enemies are lurking in every corner

What enemies?

What enemies?

You do not care about the enemies!

You only care for yourself!

May God forgive you, Padishah May God forgive you

You've been prejudiced against me ever since I was a young child

But you're my father, after all

and I must be dutiful, benevolent and obedient to you

Duty and obedience?

You! You're the one talking about duty and obedience?

- And you're dethroning me? - Think hard, father

Think

If you were going to abdicate the throne, inevitably

Then abdicate it to the one who deserves it

To the one who deserves it, father!

Or we will all watch our kingdom fall apart over our heads

I will camp outside the castle So you can make up your mind with peace

and wisdom

Come on!

Come on!

Cairo and the Levant are delighted by your visit, Nouri

- Thank you - Please

We should've met before your son married my daughter Ward, Husseini

But God wanted it, and did as willed thank you, daughter

You have spoken truly, your daughter is the best daughter and wife, thank you

And uncle Al-Nouri is indeed the best of men, father, God bless

Well done, Ward

I didn't come to Cairo only for trade and check up on you and Ward

But to inform you and Tuman Bay...

that the situation in the Levant has deteriorated severely

- And is it worth you coming yourself? - Rumors have spread...

about the Sultan's illness and isolation

It is said that he might abdicate the Sultanate to his son, Al-Nasri

I know nothing of this

This has caused panic and rabble and some Mamluks to violate the order

and cause agitation and commit burglaries with no deterrent

The situation has deteriorated severely

And when we complained to the vicegerent Sibay...

His Mamluks fought with the Mamluks of Janbardi Al-Ghazali

And the two parties are now fighting over our dead bodies

I will inform Tuman

- and he'll undoubtedly find a solution - I hope so

Before things get further our of control

If you may, your Majesty I think this is a huge mistake

We have been very strict financially on people, treasurer of Cairo

- Isn't it time to loosen up a little? - And lose our prestige in the markets?

If our prestige is from taxes then what hideous prestige it is!

- Zaini, I will not increase the taxes - Your Majesty...

We will lose more than 40 thousand Dinars!

In exchange for what, Barakat? The prices of goods have increased

It is being sold for twice its price and no one can deter the sellers

And how will the kingdom pay the expenses of its Princes and its needs?

Its Princes and its needs This is what's important!

You are spending money on Princes from the money of the poor!

Instead of the opposite! People are praying against us in the streets

End all injustice

Whoever has a complaint let him come to you

As you wish, your Majesty

- Congratulations, Salim - Korkut

Is it from the bottom of your heart?

My heart is still scared so I came to ask you...

Am I safe?

Of course, you're my older brother

You will remain the Governor of Antalia for the rest of your life

I will also grant you... Sparta as a gift of my inauguration

- Is this enough? - I don't want to rule anything

And you know this very well, Salim

But we are Ottomans

the descendants of the Sultan, Korkut

We are born to rule, come on

You shouldn't let our father wait for you longer

People were envious of me when they knew I will marry Tuman Bay!

The Sultan's nephew and his Dawadar

Personally, I was over the moon with joy

I even said God must be rewarding me for something good I did

- I've never done you any harm - But you don't love me, Tuman

You don't even stand looking at my face!

And did you love me? When?

When? We haven't even met by chance before the marriage

If you wanted to face the truth then I don't mind

I didn't choose to be a reason for your pain

Go ahead

I want to spend the rest of my days in Edirne

- Stay with me here, in Istanbul - No

I will be comfortable there

And I only care for your comfort, father

But you will be more comfortable staying here

As you wish, Sultan As you wish

There is no trace of Prince Ahmed

- And his sons? - We arrested three of them

Maybe the rest escaped with him

But we found another precious loot

Mustafa Pasha

Happy to see you!

Welcome to the camp of dogs!

Ahmed Ibn Bayezid is on the borders asking refuge

- And what do you think? - The decision is yours, Ruler of Aleppo

Mamluks don't close their doors in the face of a seeker of help

We shall show him hospitality

And then we ask the Sultan what to do with him

- Sultan Al-Ghuri? - Al-Ghuri is our only Sultan, Janbardi

- Or do you have another opinion? - Of course Al-Ghuri is our only Sultan

Unless you have another opinion

What do you see in your cup, Padishah?

Chahardah

Welcome, Prince Ahmed

The Sultanate of Mamluks is honored by having you here

Welcome, welcome

Honored to meet you, Khair Bay

- It's been a strenuous journey - Come and rest from the long travels

Do you know your brother Sultan Salim asked me to return you back to him

before you arrive?

Really?

And what did you answer him?

With what pleases you

This is a huge trust

And I can't find anyone better than you to carry it, Tuman

This is the Prophet's sword May God honor him and grant him peace

and this is his gown

May God honor him and grant him peace

But this is a trust that the next Sultan should hold

- Don't you have ambitions to that? - No

Listen to me, Tuman

You have to carry this trust even if your were not the next

Who knows what the next Sultan holds for Muslims?

If you were this worried why don't you send it to the Caliph?

What Caliph?

I want this to be kept by someone whom I trust with my life

Your Majesty, this is a heavy trust to carry

Of course, and you're up for it, Tuman

Speaking of Caliph

I want him to come to me so I can apologize to him for what I've done

To his father Al-Mustamsik Bellah

- I have wronged him a lot - Isn't it better that you go to him?

May God honor him and grant him peace

Sultan Al-Ashraf, Qansuh Al-Ghuri

Welcome, Caliph, welcome

I came to check on you and on the health of your father, Al-Mustamsik Bellah

And see if there is anything you need

We are in better conditions under your ruling, Sultan Al-Ghuri

Bless you, Prince, bless you

You know my door is always open to you whenever you wish

Peace be upon you Caliph's deputy

Welcome, Caliph's mother I was honored by meeting you today

Where is the trust that the Caliph has entrusted you, Sultan?

Did we upset you with something Caliph's mother?

Not me, but the people who pray to God to be redeemed

And you don't listen to them Bagdad has fallen in similar situations

And when Bagdad has fallen into the hands of Mongols, Caliph's mother

Who brought you here to Cairo honored and taken care of?

Excuse my mother, Sultan

You're the Caliph

You!

So do what your place deserves Al-Qurashi Al-Abbasi

It's true that some people think that the Caliph's a just ruler in title

And that the Sultan is the real ruler of the Sultanate

But, Caliph's mother I never forbid the Caliph...

from expressing his opinion in any subject, as he wishes

Anyway, excuse me the affairs of the Sultanate can't wait

Stay with your mother

Why, mother?

The Sultan honored us with his visit, why?

People are exasperated from all the taxes imposed on them

And you sit in front of him like a statue?

You're the Caliph!

And do you believe that I'm the Caliph for real?

I have no authority

I can't even leave the castle alone without the permission of the Sultan

Don't be like your grandfathers in Bagdad

They only cared for their castles and their maids

So they left the country for a thousand Prince

and a thousand greedy

Son... Redress the injustice of the Sultan

Before Egypt falls as Bagdad has fallen

And then, there will be no salvage again for the country of Islam

Mother!

God, forgive my people

For they do not know what they're doing

You did it

You did it, Salim

Relax, father

You can rest now forever

The throne is in capable hands

In the name of God, the Merciful

In the name of God, the Merciful

In the name of God, the Merciful

And peace be upon His most honored messengers

From Khair Ibn Milbay Governor of Aleppo

to the esteemed Sultan Salim the first Ibn Bayezid Ibn Mohammed Ibn Mourad

And after congratulating you for sitting on the Ottoman throne

I would like to inform you...

that your brother Ahmed Ibn Bayezid Ibn Mohammed Ibn Mourad

saught refuge with us in Aleppo

demanding us to provide him and his family protection

So we must inform you

and the response will be with what pleases your high and esteemed post

The two Sultanates are but one

And Mamluk, may God bare witness loves your philanthropy

and prays for you waiting your generous charities

And Khair Bay, Governor of Aleppo...

Had to inform your Majesty about that and peace be upon you

Despite the procrastination that is clear in the response

- It's that, Khair... Khair, right? - Khair

This Khair is sending a lot of messages between the lines, Sinan

I don't think he will surrender Prince Ahmed to us

Without the approval of Al-Ghuri Padishah

Forget about Ahmed

For he is finished

I'm talking now about Khair

About Khair and Al-Ghuri

And what about them, Padishah?

The East, Sinan

The East!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

- No for injustice! No for injustice! - Have mercy on us!

- No for injustice! No for injustice! - May you be damned!

- No for injustice! No for injustice! - Mercy! Mercy!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

Enough taxes! Enough taxes, Sultan! No for injustice!

- What? - Thank God!

Your eye healed with cutting it your Majesty!

Look! Look, your Majesty!

That's true!

I feel a light pain

Thank you, Abdelkarim thank you

Thank God for your healing your Majesty

Welcome Zaini, what brings you?

People are still complaining about the taxes

Why? Haven't I spared them from new taxes?

What more do they want?

- You know my opinion about this - You might be right

Listen, I will increase the taxes

And let's demand those who still have remaining confiscations

with the late payments

You must have no mercy nor pity for those who disobey the decree

- Do you understand? - Wise decision, your Majesty

They should only be treated with sternness

No for injustice! No for injustice!

- No for injustice! No for injustice! - Close the doors!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

- No for injustice! No for injustice! - Have mercy on us!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

No for injustice! No for injustice!

Did Barakat convince you to reimpose the taxes, your Majesty?

Al-Zaini is a loyal man, Tuman

He cares for the country

He always thinks about the future

and the benefit of the treasury and the increasing expenses on us

But I don't always abide to his opinion and I don't abide to your opinion

You've been keen on making it easier for the people, so what happened?

Tuman! The people!

People have let me down nothing pleases them

I give them my palm they ask for my arm

People!

And what's the need for additional taxes on wheat and crops?

I need more Julbans

Aren't those enough who we are unable to feed and dress

So they burglarize the markets whenever they want?

Security is expensive I know that

In spite of the presence of all those Julbans, I don't feel safe

Because there's no safety but with justice

No, no safety but with power

The public only hails the strong

The lurking army only fears the strong

It's a fake safety, you Majesty on the expense of people

Strength might make others fear you

There is no safety in subduing the people

Don't say things that will ruin my mood, Tuman

Excuse me, your Majesty

- You've become skillful, Salim - Here is the reunion!

- The Ottoman family, finally! - What will you do to us, Salim?

And what do you think I'll to to you, Korkut?

And who are you to do anything?

You're not the rightful heir

But like always, you cheated till you got to the throne

I told you, what's important is winning by any means possible

- But me, Salim... - He won't listen to you, brother

Salim has already made up his mind

because now, he is executing the Conqueror's law

Do you think you can keep the order of the world?

Here you are now, killing your brothers

killing the legitimate heir

And you think you're keeping the order?

- What order is this? - You who rebelled against the Sultan

- are talking to me now about order? - I wasn't willing to kill as many

And I wasn't willing to rebel on the Sultan but to protect my right

- and the rights of my children! - What rights are you talking about?

What rights?

The greatest heritage Mohammed the Conqueror left us

is that the throne can't be given

but rather taken!

You always wanted to hide your hate behind the words of the ancestors

and find a justification to everything evil inside you

Great words but evil deeds

Great words but evil deeds

- Great words but evil deeds - Salim

You've always been blinded by jealousy, you idiot

- Salim! - But I'll relieve you from this disease

- Salim! - Salim!

- Salim! - Salim!

I'm your brother, Salim

Spare my life I'll be a servant in your castle

Don't worry

You lived worthless begging to go away

and now you died worthless begging for your life

Sinan

He doesn't hear me?

Do you hear me?

- Is it over? - In progress

Any male remains alive from Ottoman family

is a threat to you and your son Suleiman over the throne

I know that

Any male, whatever his age

What do you mean?

You know what I mean your Majesty

No

No, I promised him

Forgive my impudence, your Majesty

Even little snakes look harmless

But if it grew, it will poison us

Shahanshah never hurt me

On the contrary

He was good to me and I promised to protect him

And you have an obligation towards your son to protect him and take care of him

So who is more important?

Him or the other?

Mohammad

Uncle Salim!

- Why are you crying? - They want to kill me

Men don't cry, nephew

Men don't cry
