What happened, Thoma?

Did we win?

The Sultan is dead

Let history record...

That Sultan Salim Ibn Othman

Did not conquer the castle of Aleppo very easily

Without war or fight

But who conquered it was a weak Janissary

Crippled, carrying a simple weapon

The castle is yours, your Majesty

Well done, Khair Bay, well done

We support who serves Islam and Muslims

And God-willing, we won't leave you your Majesty

Till you raise the glorious Ottoman flag flapping over every Arabian land

Long live Sultan Salim!

Long live Sultan Salim!

Long live Sultan Salim!

Long live Sultan Salim!

Long live Sultan Salim!

Long live Sultan Salim!

Did Al-Ghuri empty all his cabinets and brought them here?

What is this?

Was he this certain that he will defeat me?

He was scared, Padishah

And the scared doesn't win

Carry all these trophies to Istanbul

- Who is this? - Al-Mutawakkel Ala Allah

The Caliph of Muslims

Where are you from?

Baghdad

The Caliph of Muslims

And those are the judges of the 4 doctrines

Perfect

We will also take them with us to Istanbul

Sinan Pasha

Tend to their needs and treat them with excellence

We need these crafty minds in our country

What shall I do, my friend?

What shall I do?

The preachers didn't pray for the Sultan's today on the platforms

And then?

There is no Sultanate without a Sultan

And we don't know anyone that everyone agrees over but you

Did you see?

And what should I do and the army is defeated on the borders?

What should I do and the country is in turmoil?

What should I do when we're not ready for tomorrow?

You sitting on the throne will be the scale that controls all these issues

The Sultan can't do that alone

The Sultan needs an entourage that helps him with fairness and victory

And here we are with you

Are you sure?

Excuse me

I fear that not all the wounded...

Will manage to return with us to Cairo

Hadn't that traitor Khair did what he did

We would've been chasing Ibn Othman and his army to his home now

Al-Ghuri

Al-Ghuri is the reason behind our defeat

Calm down, Allan

Calm down

What's important...

Is that we need to stand behind a Sultan that can align our ranks

This is what we should think of

Tuman is the next Sultan

We don't have time to be greedy for the Sultanate

We should get ready to learn the Ottomans a lesson

Tuman is a courageous warrior and everyone loves him

And he's the Sultan's nephew

May his soul rest in peace

Allan

Don't let your feelings of guilt control your decisions

I'm the one who should be the Sultan

If you support me, I will make all the Mamluks stand behind you

It's too soon to make such a decision

- It's too soon - And when should we decide?

But where should we decide?

The throne of the Sultanate is in Cairo

We can't make such a decision without the Princes

It's very sad news

He was a noble man

And he loved you deeply

I disagreed with him a lot but I loved him

I wish he was still alive

God has decreed it and what He willed happened

May his soul rest in peace

- He left me with a heavy burden - But you're up for it

This throne tempts who sits on it

Except you

You're my brother and I know you well

That chair won't bend you

Watch out, I've never been a Sultan

Take your place then, Sultan

Sultan?

Go

They minted the coins in your name today, Padishah

And they prayed for you and named you the ruler of the Two Holy Mosques

Perfect

Perfect

And you, Younes Agha

Are your Janissaries waiting for the distribution of the war prizes?

God protect us!

God have mercy on us

God have mercy

Come, come, come it's time to leave

Our Sheikh

You came personally

Some things shouldn't be delayed Prince Tuman Bay

So you came to talk to me about the Sultanate

- I was told that it was asked of you - And I refused for reasons

And will you tell your Sheikh why you don't want to be Sultan?

And don't you know?

What Sultanate are they talking about and the treasury is empty?

What Sultanate are they talking about and the invaders want to defeat us

and those are unwary of them?

What Sultanate are they talking about and people are praying against them

for their cruelty and tyranny?

Weapons? It hadn't been renovated since long time

Poverty? It is filling the streets

The corruption is widespread in the country

What Sultanate are they talking about?

And do those agree to go to war without food, salary and clothes?

What do you want to do to me, Sheikh?

- I guarantee them with my life - You're the best guarantee, Sheikh

But you don't know them

Betrayal for some of them is like water and air

They will swear by the Holy Quran that they won't betray you

And that they will support you in hard times

They will swear?

And they won't be unjust with the people

That's what's most important

And I will announce how I took charge of the country

And in what condition

Till the Judgment time and we will all be judged

These are my conditions and God help me

As you wish

This letter is dowered by the seal of the Caliph's father

On behalf of the Caliph, may God protect him and bring him back safe

We delegate you to be Sultan of Egypt and its appurtenances

Sultan Al-Ashraf, Tuman Bay

- What's wrong, Padishah? - Nothing

Some pain, nothing more When I finish what I came for

and go back to Istanbul I will see the doctors

And when do we finish what we came for?

I won't hide my worry, Sinan

I won't hide my worry

Do I move forward to Cairo as I intended or settle for what I got?

Cairo, that no army dared to come near since ages

Has become so near for conquering

So we will carry on towards Egypt

I'm still thinking

What do you say?

- The East needs us, Padishah - But we're in the East

Here we are in the East for real

It's your decision, your Majesty

It's your decision

I will think of this

Peace be upon you

Is this a dream or have I lost my mind?

You're right, it's been a long time, Prince

What princedom are you talking about?

And you're the one who threw me here in jail and forgot about me?

And what's the punishment for betrayal, Prince?

The betrayal should be punished by death

So the Sultan spared your life

What... What do you need from me, Sultan?

Listen, if it was up to me I would've left you here all your life

But the country is at war the Ottomans will invade Egypt

We need every Mamluk to face them

Do you accept to remain alive and we're defeated?

Do you trust me in spite of what happened between me and your uncle?

Listen, Prince

Everyone is in danger No one will survive

I hate the Ottomans!

- Those bastards! - Fine

Sultan

If you were looking for a courageous Knight

To stand by you against Ibn Othman in this Makshara...

There is a Knight as strong as one thousand

And do you know him?

Come

Come

Shadbek

Shadbek

Come, come here

Do you want to get out of here?

That your remaining eye sees the light?

In exchange of what?

- And why is the Sultan here? - This is worth a thousand?

That was before I rot in prison

But now, I am worth a hundred

I told the Sultan that Shadbek might be able to help him

- In his war against the Ottomans - The price of betrayal this time

will be beheading you both open for him

Get this chair out of here and melt down its gold

But your Majesty, where will you sit to take decisions of the reign?

Decisions of the reign?

And does this chair take those decisions? What's the reign?

To sit on gold and rule over the poor?

The sick? Is this the reign? The reign is being just

Bring the wooden chair, enough luxury and people are hungry in the streets

As you wish, Sultan

You asked to see me, Prince

The Prince has become the Sultan Zaini Barakat

Forgive me, it's by habit your Majesty

It's not important, I asked for you to announce that as of tomorrow

That all the current market dues are void

And every person imprisoned because of debts will be released

And his debts are settled by the Sultan

But in doing so, your Majesty

You're giving commoners more than they deserve

More than they deserve? You're in a position you don't deserve

After you do what I ordered you to you're fired

But Sultan, excuse me

Who is more capable than Zaini Barakat as an accountant?

Me, I will add it to the Sultanate duties, go to work

Bring the wooden chair!

Did you come to congratulate me for invading Aleppo?

Conquest, it's called conquest

- It's not an invasion - There is no difference for me

- It's mere words - Words are secrets

And the numbers are secrets too

And what did words and numbers tell you this time?

Should I go and fight in Cairo?

By entering the Levant

You control the third holiest place

Jerusalem...

And when you enter Egypt you will own the two Holy Mosques

Hejaz

- Mekka and Medina - If you march towards Cairo

After you get your army ready

You will reach it at the beginning of 1517 AD

Do you know the sum of these numbers?

One

Five

One

Seven

Jihadria

Fourteen

Give me what you have Give me what you have!

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

- What are you doing? - Those traders are on Ibn Othman's side

And when our master died they mocked him

And this is how you act? Don't we have judges?

Report them to the judges and they'll decide what to do about them

If every strong man took his rights with his own hand, we'd be in a forest

Those are not warriors, and it's not a crime if they were Ottomans

Understood?

As you wish, your Majesty

God is the greatest

I testify there is no God but Allah

I testify there is no God but Allah

I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of God

I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of God

Come to prayer

Come to prayer

Come to prayer

Come to prayer

God is the greatest, God is the greatest

There is no God but Allah

God protect our Caliph Al-Mustamsik Bel Lah

And protect his deputy, Sultan Al-Ashraf

Aba Al-Nasr Tuman Bay

God protect our Caliph Al-Mustamsik Bel Lah

And protect his deputy, Sultan Al-Ashraf

Aba Al-Nasr Tuman Bay

Thank God for your safe returns

Thank God for your safe returns

I'm happy that you returned safe

I see you've become Sultan

As if you were certain of our death or you're more worthy of it

I swear, I did not want it

And if they hadn't insisted I wouldn't have accepted it

And if anyone of you wants to become Sultan, let him take it

I leave it for him

- Janbardi - This is what it is, enough

- Are you really conceding? - To whoever wishes it

And owns wisdom, and courage

And strength

And efficiency

And justice

Are you up for it, Janbardi?

I'm not talking about myself

Are you up for it, Kurtbay?

Are you up for it, Allan?

We all pledge loyalty to the Sultan

I pledge loyalty to you, Sultan

Stand up, Mamluks

It's not the time for bending the knee it's the time for work

I want opinions and advice

I don't want hypocrisy

The hypocrisy will lead to my end and the end of the nation

Jamal

Jamal!

Uncle Nouri

What's this lovely surprise? Come in

Stop! Stop!

Stop! You have no mercy?

Untie him

Haven't I ordered you not to assault any Ottoman trader?

- What's you problem? - Your Majesty, he's not a trader

He's a spy for Ibn Othman

Your Majesty

It is dowered with the seal of Ibn Othman

Furthermore, God has inspired me to own the land and the countries

From the Levant to the West, as Iskandar Dhul-Qarnayn owned it before

And I took your kingdom by sword with the death of your master, Al-Ghuri

You're nothing but a Mamluk that can be sold and bought

and you can't even own a province

And I am a king the son of a king to 20 grandfathers

So if you wanted to escape the power of our fear

Mint the coins in Egypt under our name

And let them call in the Mosques that the Sultan is...

And now?

What do you say?

Keep him in your house

No one hurts him till you bring him back to me tomorrow

- Alive? - He's your responsibility

Inal, go and leave him to Allan

All the warriors enjoyed it

Sibay

This is Tuman

Welcome Jamal, who are those?

This is my uncle, Al-Nouri

And those are men who came from Aleppo

Homs, Hama, Damascus

Nazareth, Jerusalem and Gaza

They all want to fight Ibn Othman the invader with you

and under your command, Sultan

Welcome among your family

God will grant us victory with you God-willing

- Amen - Welcome, Nouri

- Welcome - I wish we'd met in better conditions

Me too, your Majesty

- Come - Come

You only fulfilled one mission

He is stronger than I thought

That wound should've been enough to kill any man

And then?

Send me back to him

And I will be lucky this time

Get ready and go back to finish it

Those two men will help you

Should we bury them, master?

Losers don't deserve burial

Leave them for the scavengers of the sky and land

Get ready to leave

We have a more important mission in Egypt
