Congratulations, Sultan

And to you, Crown Prince

I can't believe it happened so fast

Believe it, mother of the next Sultan

- and current Governor of Amasya - I'll finally leave Kayfa

But you have to prove your competence first

But he is old and unarmed, father

The Sultanate is more important...

than any man, no matter his age go ahead

Did he do it?

Yes

Well done, well done!

I left you a Prince

and now I return to stand in front of you as s Sultan

We congratulate ourselves for you Padishah

Welcome back

What took you so long?

The mission that your father assigned to me, may he rest in peace

Wasn't easy, your Majesty

And did you acquire good information from Egypt?

From the corridors of the castle

to the platforms of Mosques

And from Diwan Al-Insha to the couches of the commoners

And from the bliss in the Princes' castles to the homes of the poor

and the bastards

I memorize it now as if I was one its people

I heard the conditions there are not well

People are rioting and complaining and asking for salvation

And there is no difference between Mamluk and free

- Is this true? - It's true, your Majesty

But there are Mamluks who take care of people, and the situation is volatile

But maybe people need salvation to who relieves them from the Mamluks

and their instability what do you say?

But in danger times they follow one man's heart

I thank you for the news you brought us Ibn Kamal

Go and rest, you must be tired from the travels

And we'll have a long talk about Cairo

Thank you, your Majesty

How did you enter?

Do you remember your grandfather's dream?

How did you enter here?

That's not important, no one saw me

The dream

Do you know what's been said about your grandfather's dream, or not?

It's been said, that a tree came out of this chest

And it covered the land with its branches till it threw shade on Anatolia

And many rivers flowed from its trunk

And its leaves transformed into swords that the wind took to Constantinople

Why?

It's a story that set the path for your grandfather to conquer Constantinople

after tens of years

The effect of visions and dreams on the hearts of men

- is what creates kingdoms - I don't get it

This is what your men should spread we will say...

Our Sheikh Noureddine Sari had a vision

About the East, the country of Mamluks

About what's more important than the East and more divine in Mamluks' country

He will say that the Prophet Peace be upon him

Gave him a letter that says...

"Let your Sultan come to the Two Holy Mosques"

And is that enough?

- Is this enough? - Visions spread amongst people

and it sets the path and people don't fight against the visions of the Prophet

You want me to invade the countries of Muslims

- Based on a myth - But the myth has its origins

If you don't find an excuse to invade you have to create it

You're right, Al-Kamel

History isn't but people who rule and people who are ruled

Nothing fills its gaps but stories

And who has the story holds the truth

Now you understand what I'm saying

And you path will be paved by the death of those closest to Al-Ghuri

Sheikh Sari

If a Muslim leader wanted to fight the enemies of the religion

And a group stopped him from this war

Is it permissible to fight this group and seize their money?

Do you mean a specific group, Sultan?

I'm talking in general, Sheikh

If it was in general...

Then the religion's view and religious scholars is clear in this matter

- And what is it? - Yes

Fighting this group is permissible and seize their money

Great

Sinan Pasha

Send a messenger from me to the Sultan of Mamluks

And let the army get ready to march towards the East

Ibn Othman came to us

that's why I asked to meet with you

Tuman

Ibn Othman asks of Sultan Al-Ghuri

to join forces in his war against the Saffavid, that's the topic

Is he asking for financial

or military support?

No Kurtbay, and I would've supplied it if he asked

If so, why did he inform us?

I feel deception in his letter

This is not farfetched, Inal Salim loves to cause turmoil

He also showed greatness in addressing the Sultan

And he referred to himself by "Our Holy stature"

And referred to the Sultan by "Your high stature"

How does he dare, that lowlife?

We should send him a reply that suits him and his disregard

No, Allan

His war with the Saffavid is commendable and not rejected

That's if his he wasn't using the Saffavid as a trick to get back at us

Do you mean he wants to march towards us if he prevails over the Saffavid?

Of course!

Both of them, Inal, want to expand and conquer

Ibn Othman claims he supports the religion but at the same time he uses it

The army is ready, your Majesty What do you say?

No

Let's wait

I want to see the results of this raging war

Your majesty, your soldiers sent me to you

There's an acute shortage in supplies and water

And they endured the road from Istanbul till here for so long

And they want to rest even for a few days before continuing the march

Prince Alaa Al-Dawla Prince Thee Al-Qader

- Won't the Prince invite us in? - No

What do you want?

I am the messenger of the Sultan, Prince

and he'll be mad if he knew you weren't hospitable towards us

Your foot won't step on my land, Sinan tell me what you want

The Sultan sent me, may God protect him

He's asking you supplies, munitions and men

Our grandson asked us so we sent him food and water

What more does he want?

He sent me to request more supplies that barely suffice our men

and he's demanding you to send what you can of ammunitions and men

Salim knows that Dulkadir barely covers the needs of its people

And he also knows that its army is very small to help him

Is this why you don't want to lend a helping hand to the Sultan?

- Or are you afraid of Mamluks? - I follow the Sultan of Mamluks

I don't follow Salim, he asked and we supplied because of our kinship

But he overstepped his boundaries and let him know...

That Sultan Al-Ghuri is my Sultan!

You know the Sultan very well, Prince He doesn't take no for an answer

in response to his requests

And I say this to you as an advice

Go

Go before your head reaches your master ahead of you

Go!

I'm but the Sultan's messenger, Prince

And the messenger has to convey the message

Janissaries!

You must be whispering among each other why the Sultan killed these soldiers?

I want you to know

That the leader of Janissaries won't accept betrayal from a leader or soldier

I know you're tired

I know you're tired but we're at war that decides our fate

And I want you to know that the Sultan values his soldiers in times of peace

But in war, I want you to be patience

and I promise you I will increase my offerings to you all

As much as you fight hard in war

My grandfather refused to send me support

As you expected, your Majesty and he threatened me with Mamluks

Haven't I told you? I know grandfather very well

But he didn't experience my anger yet

And what about Al-Ghuri? Any news?

He sent to tell you...

That your war against the Saffavid is commendable

Commendable?

What a silly old man!

After we finish what we intended to do

We will accuse Al-Ghuri of making alliance with the Saffavid against us

And so we must fight him as Sheikh Sari decreed

We should

Your Majesty

Where were you? I've missed you

Saffavid is defeated

- And what did Ibn Othman do to him? - We don't know yet

Some say he was killed and other say he was taken captive

I will receive confirmation soon

Allan, take these letters to our allies in the themes

Khan Uzbek, and Prince of Dulkadir

the war is raging these days close to their Beyliks

I want to reassure them that they are under our protection

As you wish, your Majesty I know the importance of these letters

God be with you

Your Majesty

I asked Sibay about the situation in the Levant and waiting for his response

And Khair Bay, the deputy of Aleppo informed me that Ibn Othman is still

And he doesn't intend to move

Are you thinking of doing something your Majesty?

Let's wait and see, Tuman

The situation is changing rapidly these days

In a glimpse of an eye

God changes the situations

Excuse me, your Majesty

You came to occupy Dulkadir, Salim?

No grandfather, God forbid

It's a family visit, nothing more

You visit me with 30 thousand soldier?

I came to visit you and reproach you grandfather

Don't you accept the reproach from your grandson?

We received news of your victory, yes

Yet you didn't decorate and organize celebrations

As if you were counting on my defeat God forbid

I celebrate when you take your soldiers and leave

I won't leave before we settle the reproach between us, grandfather

I tell you I came to reproach you and you didn't ask me why

It's clear

You're reproaching me for not fulfilling your request when Sinan Pasha came

No! The issue is much bigger than fulfilling a request, bigger!

You turned your back on me in my hour of need

When you asked, I sent you all I had

And when Sinan Pasha came I didn't have anything

And as you know Beylik of Dulkadir is small

It wasn't enough!

You could've made more effort

But you thought I was weak

And for that, I am removing you from Beylik of Dulkadir

- What? - You've become old, grandfather

You've become old and you can no longer differentiate between right and wrong

But the Mamluks won't accept that I would be removed from my Beylik

I know, and I'm waiting for their anger

Watch out, Salim

Watch out of the Mamluks' anger

Haven't I told you that you've become old, grandfather?

You should rest

Wait here

It's an honor that you come to me without intensive protection, Sultan

I didn't see any harm from you

But this doesn't mean that I fully trust you, Al-Kamel

It will be full, one night as the moon is full on the night of the 14th

Jihardia

It's the talisman of the universe

and the full hidden mystic knowledge we are digging up the secret

in the mine of the Holy Quran and extract it a verse for the spectators

- And have you found me? - Your name in the science of number

means 14, and the whole secret is in the Holy verse

"And we already have written in the Book of Psalms after the mention"

"That the land is inherited by My righteous servants"

- What secret? - The secret of the Levant

To which you came marching, Sultan

The letter H in Holy Quran refers to the hurricane, and winter is coming

And what will happen in winter?

The land of Egypt will be invaded

and the land in the verse has the letter of the reign that points at it

And me?

You're in the title's pronunciation

Your steps are protected and lead with the blessings of Jihardia, Sultan

And this is another gift

A Mamluk spy

Bring him

What do you say, Sinan?

Do we hang him, burn him or put him on the pole?

Or we behead him?

I think it's better you send him to his Sultan, your Majesty

To let him know we uncovered his plot

But he'll know if we sent him his head

We have a head that sends a better message

Now we need a tongue that speaks

You're right

- Who is this? - Alaa Al-Dawla, my grandfather

My grandfather and the ally of your Sultan

Tell your Sultan that we're not afraid of deceit and we don't hold secrets

If he had an ounce of fervor and some of the chivalry

and a particle of manhood He shouldn't hide in fear

Let him prepare his Mamluks

And doesn't runway from the wound of the arrow and ax

On land or in sea

Put him on a horse and return him to his Sultan

Tomorrow isn't too long to wait

It is better if you kill me

Because if I went back...

I will kill you for sure

You will kill me?

Aleppo is safe, as you can see, Sibay

Even if it was in danger my men and I are ready to defend it

- How are you doing in Damascus? - How am I doing?

It's not different than you bad situation here, Khair Bay

The prices are very high and the crops were not harvested

And the livelihood is deteriorating

I'm talking about security

And what's the use of security if people are hungry?

Sibay, what's wrong with you? Do you still care for Plebs more than your own?

Janbardi, we came to this country to protect its people

and defend them in hard times not to add salt to their wounds

Times change, Sibay

And these times, either you drown with those drowning

or you save yourself

Answer to the Sultan's question reassure him about the situation here

And don't increase his doubts he has enough to worry about

And think of yourself more than the Plebs

and the Sultan

Your intelligence is the only thing that can protect you

Are you well?

Yes, yes

Thank God for your safe returns

This reckless crossed all the limits

Is it possible that he brags by sending his grandfather's head?

Allan was right when he said that we should've answered with austerity

Today he dared to attack our allies in Beylik of Dulkadir

They are calling his name in the Mosques and he's become famous

Tomorrow he will dare to attack Aleppo then the Levant

Till we find him here in the castle and we are standing idle?

It is war then

I will order troops to head to Aleppo

to protect the country and defend the people from the invaders

And I will lead this attack

Spread the word

And all of you swear by the book of God

that you will not disobey me in the open or in secret

and the traitor will be judged by God

- Do you need anything, Sultana? - No, thank you Nalbay

Thank you

Maid

I haven't seen you face before

The trader brought me today your Majesty

Without my knowledge

Who ordered you to set the bed?

Get out!

Go to your home and rest now my friend

I will, but I have to warn you from Ibn Othman

- No need for that - Thoma

I saw a man who's dead inside

His temper is like monsters

Tell me about the group who took you captive

Veiled Knights, their leader puts a mask on his face

He was talking to Salim in talisman and riddles I understood nothing of

but he's not one of his men

because Salim was treating him with respect and caution

I didn't see him behave like that with his men

I heard a lot about this group

but you're the first who saw them and describes them to me

I will send my men to check them up and you?

Go home and rest and we will talk later

Jihan

Jihan!

Jihan!

Jihan!

Bring the doctors! Hurry!

No!

What's wrong?

Sultan Al-Ghuri is coming

Al-Ghuri has become old his days are numbered

Do you want to become Sultan?

Every time has its country and men

The smart one is who knows the direction of the wind and doesn't stand against it

Will we fight Ibn Othman, Janbardi?

May be war won't happen

And if it did?

Are we up for it?

It is You we worship and You we ask for help

Guide us to the straight path

The path of those whom You have bestowed favor

not those who have evoked Your anger or of those who are astray

God help you, your Majesty

Sibay's expedition came back

And is he reassuring us too that security is stable?

And confirms that if there is an enemy on the move, he will defeat him

Listen well, Tuman

I love you my son

Like I love my kids

I see good and strong will in you

If I'm as you say, and I hope I am

Why don't you discuss issues with me?

Why do you surrender to doubt in those closest to you?

Do you blame me, Tuman? And you know best those who are around me?

Every one craves my place

Every one craves the reign

The reasons for the end of the reign are known

The one who follows his own reasoning will be lost

And who settles for his opinion we make mistakes

If this is what you think of me

Why did you stay with me?

Why?

I wasn't seeking glory nor wanting a position

But I imagined that I'll protect the weak

And give back the oppressed his rights

The years have passed and I discovered that injustice never dies

And behind every oppressive another oppressive

And people, people got used to oppression till it's become natural

I don't know what's my place here

You will be my deputy

And if you showed justice in Egypt while I'm gone

I swear by God, The One and Only

I will make you the Sultan in my place as soon as I return

Come back victorious and handle your Sultanate

When I come back, I will leave my post and leave the country

And here I thought you will bury me here one day

May God prolong your life

Come on son, the affairs of the Sultanate can't wait, let's go

The convoy of the Sultan is coming!

The convoy of the Sultan is coming!

The convoy of the Sultan is coming!

The convoy of the Sultan is coming!

Move away
