I am at your service, majesty.
He gave this gun to you as a present.
He also informed us about where they will attack.
Where they will attack?
Ottoman bank
The English will give this incursion as an excuse for the invasion of our country.
This information will change everything, admiral.
Nicely done.
I don't want to betray your trust.
Why are you surprised, Admiral Tahsin?
Did you think that I would dismiss pasha Osman because of a slander?
Admiral Tahsin
Admiral İzzet
You may take your leave.
He will conspire you.
Conspiracy?
They are trying to convince us that you collaborate with the English.
No-never.
Never, majesty.
I wonder if / I didn't believe.
We didn't believe.
But we want to learn their intention.
How will we learn, majesty?
You will betray me.
How?
You will pretend that you betray me.
Everyone will believe it.
Those who have done this to you are those who plan to attack.
We are in a war, admiral.
You have to pretend that you are the traitor until we learn where they will attack.
Yes, majesty.
Make best of the sword that I gave back to you.
Admiral Osman
What measures do you want us to take, majesty?
Accompany the soldiers to the bank if we aren't late, admiral Osman.
Protect the people when you kill the traitors.
Yes, majesty.
Admiral Tahsin
And we will start the operation to block off the English.
Which coffin belongs to your brother?
I don't know.
He confessed everything before he died. Look at what's happening now.
Time is up.
All right. / Freedom!
What are you staring at?
Shout slogan!
I'm saying to you, girls.
Come on.
Don't you hear?
We will be free!
Take of these rags!
What are you doing? Don't do it!
This way!
This way! This way!
Go to the back.
Constables will come here soon.
Brother!
Stay still or I will kill you.
To the bank!
People would live and die tranquilly if there wasn't war.
And the life would be unbearable for you.
Wars
give life even death.
Great!
Listen to the voice.
I think we will succeed this time.
Abdülhamit will be overwhelmed by this demonstration.
It keeps snowballing.
We will deal capital city a death blow.
Majesty will be ruined.
The English are also ready for the invasion.
Ottoman Empire is surrounded.
Khalifa Abdülhamit will be blown up by his own bomb.
And it will affect the whole world of Islam.
I hope so.
You will see what will happen when we bomb.
Sarah
Give us the good news, please.
I will, Herzl.
But I have got a bad new, as well.
Sarah
Firstly, give me the good one.
And kill me before you say the bad one.
Don't worry guys.
I always think carefully before I do something.
Admiral Osman is OK.
He went to the palace fast.
So Admiral Osman is going to where he will die.
Admiral Osman is really a brave man.
I think he will kill Abdülhamit and pacify us.
Guys
You haven't seen the bravery of admiral Osman yet.
You will be surprised when you see.
Impossible.
I thought admiral Osman had gone to the palace.
But
he is here with his soldiers.
What's going on here?
We fell into Abdülhamit's trap again.
Abdülhamit
He always stands in our way.
Don't worry, admiral Mahmut.
We never give in.
We haven't shot our bolt yet.
Where are the bombs?
They must have taken them.
Bombs work.
Move on!
When will they stop, majesty?
When we abandon our faith, admiral.
We we become like them.
I mean never.
How will we stop the incursion?
By detaining the ones who did it.
Go to the telegram.
Type, admiral.
To Ottoman Embassy London
Armenians made an attempt to attack to us.
London Embassy shouldn't get flurried.
Armenian patriarch was dismissed.
The new patriarch will quell the continuance of the riot.
Majesty
Will we quell the continuance of the riot and detain the English by this move?
Type, admiral.
Type and wait.
Soldier!
Cover me!
Keep out of my way.
They are gathering for attack.
They are going to the bank.
Crouch down!
Look at me!Don't do something wrong or I will kill you.
Crouch down! Come on! Come on!
For example this man! He was moving slowly than I wanted.
This bank has been occupied for the freedom of the Armenian.
This occupation is the first front of the Kingdom of Greater Armenia.
We won't show mercy the ones who don't obey us.
Everybody will die if things continue to happen like this. Did you understand me?
We don't want to deal with him, right?
How cautious they are
I think occupation will carry its objective.
What if they get in?
Don't worry. I have a surprise that will make them stay out of the bank.
Come here! Come here!
I will kill the hostages one by one if you don't lift the siege.
Gareth hunt!
Keep calm!
They can do whatever they want.
If we act impulsively, we will regret it. Don't do that!
Retreat immediately! Lift the siege! Or I will kill all of them!
We often have come across with you Serçe, right?
Be careful.
Those who often come across with me dies.
Only Allah knows when a human will die.
Think about your own life!
We'll see.
Peace be with you, soldier!
Peace be upon you!
Soldiers!
We will surround the bank.
Keep your head on a swivel!
We will get out of a scrape, God willing!
We can be out of a tight corner if we give of our best!
Amen!
Acquaint me with the situation, soldier.
They succeeded in the occupation, admiral.
There are many hostages inside.
We don't know the exact number of them.
What about streets?
Demonstration is going on, admiral.
I caused it.
What did you cause?
To that situation of the streets.
I am the first who fired the gun.
I couldn't stand.
They
Thay had desire to defile our women's honour.
They wrenched Zeynep's headscarf away from her.
It made my blood boi and I shot him.
It's a bit much!
How dare they have desire to defile our women's honour?
You
saved our women's honour.
The capital city is very important for our empire. Likewise, the headscarfs are very important for our women, Osman.
You have done what is necessary.
All right.
Why do they want to dishonour our women? What did this empire do to them?
Don't worry, Yusuf.
We will pay them back sooner or later.
Admiral Osman deceived all of us.
It didn't befit his dignity.
This betrayel's result may ruin one of us.
But
we will go on in the same way.
We had a great deal of trouble.
We desire the victory.
If I deceive Abdülhamit with admiral Mehmet, he can't understand who is he even if he gets suspicious.
I can get around him.
The English should stand behind this demonstration.
We can't succeed otherwise.
Don't worry. The English have to stand behind us.
They reverse their decision as soon as they understand they can't profit from us.
Mr. Zaarof
There is something that will shape India's, I mean England's future in that safety-deposit.
The Ottoman Bank's director is an English.
But the safety-deposit's director is Turkish.
And there is a list of the list of Indian Muslims who contributed to the tender of the railway in it.
When the list is taken, all of them will be killed.
All of the Indians who are on khalifa's side will die.
Indian's resistance will come to an end.
Typical plans of the English.
If I hadn't employed Sarrafoğlu Hasan as director of the safety-deposit, none of the English wouldn't have gotten the list.
Your are right. It helped a lot.
If admiral Mahmut was the partner of me, he would make all the world battle.
But I am scared.
Everybody would die in that war.
It would be our last trade.
Mr. Herzl
I prefer being partner with you and starting a business.
All in all, everything depends on economy .
Yes.
Where are you going admiral?
To the palace.
I will learn what Abdülhamit thinks and plan.
We will learn what Abdülhamit thinks.
Don't worry.
Armenians got into the clover field.
They are slundering there.
Don't worry. They can't do anything.
But their mothers are English and their fathers are Russian.
What do you think Agof ?
What can I say?
God damn them.
They create social unrest.
But it's clear that they are planning something again.
Patriarchate didn't racketeer in vain.
We had warned you before!
You didn't obey.
Now
If you don't pay tribute to us, we will kill you.
I won't allow you even if you kill me.
Then we will kill you.
This place belongs to Armenians. If you don't want to die, get out of here!
We came to chasten you.
We will chasten you, diversionists!
Stop!
I'm England Embassador, Richard.
What's going on here?
What is happening in the country is also happening here.
What you did is barbarity.
We are not the ones who have guns.
Won't you arrest them?
Injured Armenians need to go to hospital not to the station.
What about them?
Do you want to me arrest the ones who try to save their lives?
Come in.
Tell me.
Majesty
I traced İram.
I saw the guns which were placed in the coffins.
I got into the coffin when I noticed I had limited time.
I sent a message to you.
But we don't have enough time.
What happened in the incursion area?
Not the Greeks but the Armenians were prepared.
They took their guns and it took place for an armed fight.
Everything had been planned before.
We couldn't stop them and they get into the bank.
We are late.
It's too late.
Majesty
They took Ahsen and Yusuf's sister Zeynep hostage.
Admiral Osman came with his soldiers.
But they had taken the bombs from Armenian school.
Their bombs were so effective that they couldn't approach.
It's clear the reason of abduction now.
While we show mercy to the children, they had bombs carried.
This Ottoman Bank is important.
It's capital belongs to the English and French so they will think that they have a right to interfere in the internal affairs of Ottoman Empire.
More importantly
there is the list of the Indian Muslims who helped us about railways in that safety-deposit.
If the English get that list, they will kill all of them to put an end to the Indian Resistance
While we are fighting above the ground, you will fight below ground.
Come here.
You will dig a tunnel from this home to the bank.
That tunnel will take you to the strong room of the bank.
Their opening the safe will last long.
You will get into the room before them.
So you will annihilate the names even if we aren't succeed.
Go with Söğütlü, the soldiers and some engineers.
Don't draw attention.
Yes, majesty.
Traitors could fight a circle saw.
Watch your step!
We can lay down our life for our country, majesty.
Good bye.
Everything will happen in the way I want.
Everything
What kind of news can make you so happy?
The only thing that makes me happy in a war is knowing my enemy's move beforehand.
Do you mean that you know the Abdğlhamit's move?
Zarof will know who Abdülhamit sent a telegram hereafter.
Can you control the Abdülhamit's telegram?
You should do your best if you will fight, right admiral?
It's the real move.
Abdülhamit fell into my hands with his all secrets.
Is that what Abdülhamit can do?
He will change the patriarch.
And he will put an end to the incursion.
You made too much of this man.
No, Zarof
I think you shouldn't underestimate Abdülhamit.
What is he getting at by changing the patriarch?
Herzl
I want you to report as news immediately.
Kızıl Sultan who captured patriarch terrified the Armenians.
Armenians are horrified.
So, there is no point waiting more.
I will go to the palace and learn what's going on.
See you, Mr. Zarof
Is there a problem Sultana Seniha?
Yes, Bidar.
There is.
I'm listening to you.
You know the relationship of Hatice and Kemalettin.
Of course.
How can you say to our majesty that you want Naime and Kemalettin to marry?
It's none of your business.
Why are you interested in this issue?
Hatice belongs to my harem.
And I am responsible for her.
Naime is also my daughter.
It's my duty to marry both of them.
Don't think about it, Sultana Seniha.
Nidar
Hatice is my niece.
Of course I have a right to speak.
If Hatice is your niece, who is Naime?
I'm also aware that you want to put me in an awkward position.
What are you talking about?
I'm saying that you have some plans.
Moreover, your husband also knows it.
Look at me, Bidar.
Don't speak without thinking.
I don't know what you are talking about.
Then let me tell you.
I'm listening to you.
You slandered admiral Osman and let me hear because you didn't want me to allow this marriage.
Firstly I didn't allow.
But later, I remembered who was the admiral Osman and he wouldn't betray his country.
Moreover, I thought that even if he had betrayed his country, our majesty must have wanted him to do so.
Stop lying to me, Seniha Sultana.
I don't lie to you, Pidar. I don't lie to you.
Stop pretending that you know everything. Make people peaceful!
That's enough.
You are preoccupied with your own troubles even in this situation.
The capital city is in danger.
People kill each other on the streets.
You still stick your nose up in the air.
You can't give advice to us, Mrs. Fatma Pesent.
I don't give advice to you.
I'm saying the
Are you OK?
The Ottoman Bank was occupied.
Armenians took the innocent people hostage but you are still
We didn't know.
We haven't heard it.
Have a seat.
We didn't really know.
Inform the doctor immediately!
Yes.
Necktie is important.
It's a gift from our ambassador.
I don't know whether you are aware of it or not but we occupied your bank with Armenians.
If you are the one who shoot, you don't need to be afraid of the bullet.
I learned that your old safety-deposit director had died and somebody else was employed.
Yes, it's true.
Where is he?
Call the safety-deposit director forth.
What's going on? There isn't any problem, right?
We occupied the Ottoman Bank. We took many people hostage. Some of them died.
What kind of problem are you talking about?
You are Mr. Hasan, the new safety-deposit director who was employed by the Grand Vizier, right?
You're wrong.
My name isn't Hasan. I'm Abdullah.
Strange
I guess I remember wrong.
Anyway
Tell me the combination to the safe.
Your name isn't important.
It's not possible.
Our state has obligated me to protect the safe.
You've got another think coming.
I don't need to think about it again.
I may die if necessary but still I won't tell you the combination to the safe.
I appreciate you.
But I also have to do what is necessary.
Attention!
Majesty Abdülhamit
Each of the sandglasses symbolizes a different important event.
Time is passing. It may result in our favor or it may result against us.
Our Armenian citizens were deceived.
They made a move that they can't pay its price.
Majesty
They can't do it by themselves.
Of course they can't.
The English, French
Russian, Italian, all of them stand behind Armenians.
What is their purpose, majesty?
They want to interfere in the internal affairs.
Moreover, they want to occupy our country.
Admiral Ahmet Tevfik
Did you hear something about the effects of this event from the ministry of foreign affairs?
Majesty
The English and French
are closely interested in this issue.
Of course they are.
All the people wonder whether they achieve their aim or not.
It will become clear what Europeans will do later on, majesty.
They made their move.
Turn down all of their requests.
Admiral Mehmet Memduh
Have something been done in the the ministry of interior about lost people?
Majesty
Nearly 120 soldiers died a martyr.
We have 250 martyrs in total.
We also have many injured soldiers.
May God rest their soul. / May God rest their soul.
Nearly 30 Armenians raided the bank.
Most of them didn't join the raid although they are more crowded.
The news which our majesty sent out worked.
400 Armenians were killed because they shot Muslims and artisans shot back at them.
Killing the Armenians will bring trouble on us.
What could they do, admiral?
They attacked our people with bombs and bullets. What could they do?
Majesty
English war ships from Mediterranean and Russian war ships from Black Sea are coming towards to the capital city.
It's time to dance with the wolves, admirals.
Do you know the wolves' dance?
The wolfpacks which are stuck in a difficult situation start to dance, admirals.
They create a death circle
and turn around each other.
They turn around each other for hours.
They turn all night.
One of them gets tired and falls down.
The wolf which falls down first becomes a prey to other wolves.
We won't be defeated.
We won't be the ones who fall down.
We will fight.
The ships that are coming here want us to be defeated.
But they forget the fact that
a wolf will kill itself when it understands that it will be killed.
It won't surrender at the cost of its life.
Did you inform our majesty?
Don't worry, Sultana.
I will inform him.
Immediately, Esma.
Immediately.
Leave the room, please.
Of course, Mrs. Fatma Pesent.
I wish you get well soon.
Please, Sultana Bidar.
Take care of her.
Majesty
Why did they attack to the bank?
They want to threaten us.
The capital of the bank belongs to the English and French.
They think that they will reach them by doing this.
And also there is something that concerns both the English and us in it.
Majesty
I adore your intelligence.
You did well by letting an English direct the bank and consigning the safe to a Turkish man
None of our secrets are in danger thanks to you, majesty.
But we didn't find your offer which is about the safe director, Sarrafoğlu Hasan acceptable.
Is that so?
We owe him. So if we employed him, we would make a wrong decision.
I informed our majesty about the situation.
He paid our debt.
So we got rid of both the debt and the sin.
Mr. Abdullah who our majesty employed keeps under his hat.
May God bless you, majesty.
You duly perform your duties.
May God bless you, too.
Our empire having a rough time of it, admirals.
You may take your leave.
Your majesty
Ambassadors wants to talk to you.
Let them come in.
Admiral Tahsin
Say to the patriarch that he will be our guest for a while.
May God bless you.
Clear the way!
What happened?
Nothing. There is a little problem. I will deal with it.
Karakin
The child looks bad.
Just do your thing.
You are not a doctor.
You are supposed to kill the ones who don't obey us.
Keep calm. Please. Nothing will happen to us. We will get out alive. I promise.
This mission is very important.
We won't stop until we annihilate the names of the Muslims even if the occupation ends.
All right, Ömer.
Firstly, we will take the document from the safe.
Then we will save the bank.
Can we dig this tunnel?
Don't worry, Yusuf.
Gos help us.
All right.
I will get furious as you don't say the combination to the safe.
I'm an angry man.
Now
Don't tire me
and say the combination to the safe.
I have nothing to tell you.
You have.
It you say me the combination to the safe, I will spare your life.
I am entrusted with a task at the cost of my life.
You can kill me but you can't learn the combination of the safe.
Look at me Abdullah
Your worth is the same as the safe.
Be aware of it. OK?
Don't go anywhere. I will come back.
You may take your leave
Sultana
How are you?
I'm fine, majesty.
Sit down. / I'm OK.
I couldn't bring you here otherwise. Excuse me.
Sultana
What happened?
Majesty
I learned that our empire is in a difficult situation.
Don't worry.
Our empire will be out of a tight corner.
I hope so, majesty.
But
Nobody is aware of this situation in your harem and they are preoccupied with their own troubles.
This trouble may contribute to a good result in your harem if they know it.
Your harem needs to your words.
Excuse me, majesty.
I wouldn't want to disturb you in this situation.
You talk sense for a meaningul purpose.
Esma
Yes, majesty
I want you to gather my harem immediately.
Yes, majesty.
Armenians occupied the Ottoman Bank this morning.
Many people died.
They are still taking people hostage in the bank.
How?
I'm really surprised.
I'm surprized at your confusion. You have planned everything.
Let me get on with my duty again.
Let me call the Armenians in order.
Of course.
Call them to order when you go up to the rostrum
and distribute guns when you are out of the church.
Our state learned everything.
We know how you armed your community and how you persuaded Armenians.
I don't accept it!
Nothing will change for you whether you accept it or not.
We won't carry out your exile sentence for a while. You will stay here.
Armenians will get angry if I stay here.
It's clear.
There are reports in the newspapers that your community worry about about your life.
You have many people on your side.
But
Those who are on your side today
may kill you tomorrow.
Because your relationship is based on the mutual interests.
Admiral Tahsin
I want to talk to the patriarch if you let me.
Patriach
How are you?
How do you expect me to feel in Abdülhamit's cage?
I'm not a patriach, as well.
Don't give way to dispair.
You will the patriarch again when we take over the reins of the capital city.
I'm waiting, admiral Mahmut.
I'm waiting.
Of course.
Don't obey to Abdülhamit until that day.
I will get you off the hook.
Be patient. Be patient.
Majesty
The newspaper
Many events is taking place and news also travels fast, admiral.
Majesty
Armenians worry about patriarch's life.
Armenians won't stop until they are sure about patriarch's life.
Invite the admiral Kemalettin in.
Admiral Kemalettin. Our majesty is inviting you in.
They sabotaged the telegraph line.
The news was about patriarch, majesty.
They want us to set patriarch free to invalidate our move
as I predicted before.
Control the line.
Yes, majesty.
You had asked me how I would stop the English with the patriarch move.
Come with me.
We sent an empty telegraph to London to be sure whether they control our line or not.
And you have become sure when you read the newspaper.
If we made our move at that time it would go for nothing.
We communicate with our spies in different code.
Note down, admiral

Send these codes to London via a line that you trust.
Here is where you send it.
You are surprised, admiral.
We make our move behind the scenes.
What do these codes mean, majesty?
Our secrets are in a safe, admiral.
But the key is also in that safe.
You will let the key to open the safe.
Yes, majesty.
And we will solve the mystery.
I'm going to harem.
We will release you, Sir Wilson.
When did you arrest me?
Armenians have some demands from Ottoman Empire.
You will convey them to the man in charge.
Say them to the clerk.
1
The high commissioner who will be appointed by 4 states will be the administrator of the Armenian.
He may be commisser Mahmut.
But don't write it for now.
2
Armenia will a be self-governing state.
Ottoman Empire won't levy taxes from the state.
Make a request about the Muslims, as well.
Exile them for example.
Don't worry.
If they accept these, we will exile all of them.
Anything else?
3
Armenians will have their own gendarmerie and constabulary.
Bravo.
It's a very important move, Mr. Karakin.
4
Armenians will choose their patriarch without consulting the majesty.
Patriarchate will be located in the capital city.
Demand them to open a school to educate your children in your mother tongue.
Education is important.
We have already these types of schools.
Freedom of worship?
Yes.
Actually we have all of them but we pretend that we haven't.
I'll convey your demands to the ambassadors.
What will happen next?
What will happen, Sir Wilson?
Abdülhamit will accept all of the demands.
But the riot won't end until the English, Russian and French war ships occupy the capital city.
You should convey the importance of the issue.
Of course.
If we kill some of the hostages, they will understand the importance of the issue.
Kill them slowly so that we can gain time.
Savouringly
Our majesty is coming.
Our state is in danger.
Armenians raided a bank.
There is a riot in the the capital city's streets.
What do they want from us, majesty?
It's clear.
They want to destroy the state.
This state is based on 4 principles.
1
It's religion is Islam.
They attack our women's headscarfs on the streets.
They throw droppings in front of the mosques.
They dare to put cross to the Hagia Sophia Mosque.
They kill the Muslims.
They attack Islam.
2
It's government is Turkey.
Turkish people have governed our state for 9 centuries.
The English, Russian, French and Italian set their eyes on our government.
Turkish government is in danger.
Enemy won't stop.
But they don't know that we also won't stop to protect our country.
We also represent Oghuz Tribe here.
They want to transfer the management to a governor.
3
Our capital city, Istanbul is in danger.
The English war ships are coming towards our city.
They will shell the capital city.
These 3 principle are in danger.
What is the forth one?
The Ottoman dynasty
Some of the dynasty are here.
I mean you.
Once upon a time, when Islam was in danger, Turkish people tried to protect their religion.
Turkish order was in danger.
Our capital city, Istanbul saved it.
When they attacked our dynasty, we were saved by our religion.
Now, we have only our dynasty principle.
But you are preoccupied with your own troubles ignoring all of these.
You will do what is necessary.
Don't be afraid and be strong.
You will pray.
You will pray to Allah for our state.
We can't protect our country if you don't do what is necessary.
Now
One of you will lay down his life for the freedom of Armenians.
Who wants to lay down his life?
I think nobody wants.
Thank you for letting me choose.
You!
Stop! Let go of her!
Garof!
What's happening?
I will kill her.
Look
Her life is very important. Did you understand? It's enough to have her to reach our goal even if we let everybody go.
She has to stay with us even if we let everybody go.
It's not important who will die for me.
Süslü
Come here.
What about him?
All right.
Don't do it.
Don't do it please.
Do you want us to kill you?
You don't need to kill anybody.
I can tell everybody how serious you are in this issue.
All right. Deal.
But if you can't succeed we will do what we want.
Is it over?
The quin must have read the newspaper.
Good.
But, it's not enough.
What else do you want?
Occupying the capital city isn't easy, Sarah.
We need valid excuses, hazardous events and incidents to reach our goal.
Tell us what you think, Mr. Zaarof.
Do you want me to play Chopin on the piano?
Maybe you can get your head together.
You have bigger fish to fry than playing the piano.
Go to the English ambassador and say him that Armenians have another wish.
What do Armenians want?
They worry about the patriarch's life.
They will rage if they see him.
I will send Richard to Abdülhamit but what will do with the patriarch?
He is a nasty piece of work. You are right.
But a patriarch's death is important.
What are you thinking?
Chopin's funeral march.
Attach to cover!
Tell them or I will kill him.
Release our children. Release our children, please. / Tell us how our children are, please.
Don't worry. All of them are fine.
Talk! Tell them!
Armenians have some demands.
They will release the director of the bank to convey their demands to the majesty.
There are many children and innocent people inside.
If these demands isn't accepted, all of us will be in danger.
My son is there. Arif is ill. He dies if doesn't take his medicines. Save him, please.
Director of the bank will go to the embassy first.
Then the demands will be conveyed to the Star Palace.
I will set this guy free because you did this.
Take him!
Did you hear the gunshot?
We heard.
They shot 2 times and stopped.
I hope there is nothing important.
Our duty is digging this tunnel.
Don't think about anything else.
Come on.
You heard what our majesty said.
What will you do?
What can we do?
We are sultan's sons.
We belong to the dynasty.
But we don't only belong to the dynasty.
We are also soldiers.
We are Muhammed's soldiers.
There are more capable commanders than us for managing the military.
They are more capable than us.
We can't help.
You are right.
But we have to do something.
It's enough that we don't make any other trouble.
I have no hope.
I shared my ideas many times.
He didn't listen to me.
This is the result of it.
You reckon!
Do they want to occupy the balkans for their freedom?
What about Egypt?
Did they want freedom?
That's the point.
Neither you nor our majesty didn't understand the freedom issue.
Freedom isn't the point.
Our generation is the point.
They think they're sons of Christ.
But Christ isn't their father.
Because they don't obey what Christ said.
You will also understand sooner or later.
These are their demands.
They released me to convey their demands.
If these demands are accepted, the bank raid will stop.
But Armenians worry about the pariarch's life.
Mrs. Sarah is right.
If Abdülhamit has guaranteed the life of the patriarch,
he has to relieve Armenian people's anxiety.
They won't stop otherwise.
You want them to stop.
Did your tsar order something?
The Russian are the protectors of the Armenians.
Tsar Nicolay warned sternly.
The Russian war ships will come to the capital city if he doesn't limit the bloodshed.
He said that he wanted to dethrone Abdülhamit.
We will get rid of Abdülhamit with this faith.
Can we stop them if we perform an operation to the bank?
We can stop them in 15 minutes.
But
But innocent people will also die.
Unfortunately.
Come in, admiral Tahsin.
I sent the telegram, majesty.
Well.
But I have bad news.
They killed an old man in the bank.
They also released the director of the bank for e deal.
Embassador will come with his committee.
They are flocking.
Majesty
Let us raid them. We can stop them by fighting.
If they admit the defeat without fighting it will be a big win.
We don't want to detain only the ones who are in bank. We want to detain all of the enemy.
But hold yourself in readiness.
Yes, majesty.
Abdullah
I didn't noticed you were a hero.
Someone else couldn't endure.
I'll ask you for the last time.
What is the combination of the safe?
I won't say.
I will never say the combination of the safe to you.
All right.
What did you do?
How will we open the safe?
He wouldn't talk.
Waste of time.
Go to the safe. Open it in some way. Did you understand?
Come on.
It was clear that that man wouldn't talk.
You can understand whether somebody is coward or not by looking at his eyes, Mr. Karakin.
Each of the hourglasses symbolizes a different important event.
We run out of patience as the time goes by.
Talk.
Because we won't have anything to talk when we run out of patience.
Majesty
English government thinks that we lead to the incidents because we didn't accept their suggestions about law.
Are the ships which are in Mediterranean a result of this thought?
Why does it bother you? The English ships are in the international coastal waters.
They will see what will happen when they come to Çanakkale.
Our bastions in Çanakkale is for your ships.
The French government believes that we can resolve this problem via walls.
Armenians who raid
Partisan Armenians!
Yes.
Partisan Armenians have some demands.
Sir Wilsont
Majesty
I'm the director of the Ottoman bank, Sir Wilsont.
They released me to convey theri demands.
And you came to the embassy immediately.
But they weren't the places where you can resolve the problem.
We came together with the ambassadors to talk about the demands.
Tell me what they want.
I submit, majesty.
The high commissioner will be appointed to the places where Armenians live.
Armenians will manage the districts where they live and they won't toll.
Those who have tax debt will be remitted.
Armenians will have their own gendarmerie and constabulary.
They will stand trial in their own court.
Armenians will choose their patriarch without consulting the majesty.
Patriarchate will be located in the capital city.
That's enough.
None of them will be accepted.
Majesty
We can stop this incursion with
Are you aware of what they want from us?
There are also Turkish and Kurdish people where Armenians live.
What about their rights?
We have only one demand.
Partisan Armenians will surrender.
Majesty
This issue isn't only about the bank anymore.
Some of the Armenians who were killed on the streets are the citizens of French government.
Muslims killed them.
We can't keep quiet about it.
We think that you gave these orders.
Come with me.
These are Armenian's guns.
All of them are English gun.
Muslims were killed by these guns.
And these are the woods which are cut from my country's forests.
Armeanians had English guns.
But Muslims fought with these.
Now
You said that I gave an order to kill the Armenians.
If I gave the order, Muslims wouldn't go there with these.
If I gave the order, you wouldn't come to complain.
But I didn't do that.
Armenian people are loyal to Ottoman Empire.
But it's different this time.
Why?
Did we hurt their people?
They have their own schools.
You don't allow people to speak their mother tongue in the places where you have oocupied.
We know that.
English is spoken in Africa.
French is spoken in Algeria.
You demolish the people's sanctuaries and construct churches in tha places that you have occupied.
But my grandfather turned only one church to a mosque when he conquered Istanbul.
He didn't demolish the other ones.
Which of the churches of Armenians did he demolish?
Didn't Ottoman Empire create the patriarchate?
What do you want from me while innocent Armenians live in peace?
We don't want anthing else but the peace of Ottoman Empire.
Then you won't do anything.
Keep away from my state, my nation and Armenian people.
If the Ottoman Empire is destroyed, everything will change.
You will fall out with each other.
You will be greatly distressed although you think you live in peace.
You will be ruined.
Sir Wilsont
Say to the bandits that none of their demands wasn't accepted.
Say them to surrender immediately.
Yes, majesty.
At least, send the patriarch to Armenian people with your soldiers to settle them.
Tranquality will be good for our country.
My dear mother
You should sit down or you will feel dizzy.
I can't sit, Sabahattin.
I'm out of sorts.
I hope Mahmut haven't a hand in this event.
Of course, my father don't do something like that mom.
I don't know. I hope so.
But your father can do everything if he obtains personal benefits.
Anyway.
Don't go out of the house.
Outside is dangerous.
What do you mean by stay at home?
It's time to fight for our state.
Do what I say, Sabahattin.
I will go to the palace. You will also come there.
All right, mom.
I will stay at home.
Sultana
Yes
A woman came and she wants to see you.
Who is she?
I think she is your old employee. She wants something from you.
Let her come in.
Excuse me, sultana.
Ayşe
Was that you? Come in.
Sultana
They took my son hostage in the bank. Save him. Please.
Calm down.
Come and have a seat.
Tell me what happened.
My son and his father went to the bank.
They went there to receive money.
We have received money a few times.
Partisans occupied the bank and took my son hostage.
All right, Ayşe. Don't upset yourself. We should learn what's heppening there first.
They took also other children hostage. But my son is ill.
He is disabled. He can't walk.
He becomes miserable if he can't take his medicines.
I understood, Ayşe.
It's a difficult situation.
But I will look for a way to do. Don't worry.
You will come together with your son.
We should also prey for the other children.
May God bless you, sultana.
Not at all.
Have some rest here.
The bank is under blockade.
Moreover, there are many hostages inside.
Yes. If we attack them, many people will die.
We should make Armenian gangsters go out.
They never go out.
At least
May it be easy, admirals.
At least we can open fire on the enemy to finish their ammunition.
No.
They can bomb us.
Our soldiers may keep away from them so they aren't affected.
Our majesty is planning a move to protectthe namesin the safe.
What is that move, admiral?
They will dig a tunnel.
So they can get into the strongroom.
I mean we should protect the ground.
Well.
It's a great plan.
They will get in the bank and kill the Armenians.
It's funny that you imitate the sound of a bomb although you haven't seen a battle field.
Is that so?
Or course. I'm a politician.
But I also bombed a few times.
Believe me. Bombs can be fatal.
Go on, please.
I brought water.
Thank you.
Why are those names in the safe?
They contributed to our railway.
They continue to help.
May God bless them.
The English is struggling for preventing these contributions.
If the English took that list, they will kill the Indian.
All of them will die.
Come on.
You are right. We should be quick. We completed half of it.
We are digging this tunnel. Will we succeed?
My grandpa told me that there used to be miners in the Ottoman Empire.
Did they dig tunnels like us?
Yes
Miners digged a tunnel to the walls when Fatih the Conqueror conquered Istanbul.
They say that miners have a great impact on the conquest of Istanbul.
Do you need something else?
No, thank you.
Moreover, the most capable miners were Armenians.
Their ancestors were loyal to the state but they betray this country.
What did you do?
It's impossible to open the case without its combination.
We can't open it in this way.
All right.
Now that you can't open the safe, I don't need you anymore.
This safe will be opened!
We will try.
Come on.
Amen.
May Allah accept our prayers, Bidar.
Amen.
We have many troubles, Sultana Seniha.
But thank God that we can ask for help.
Thank God that we can pray.
Thank God, bidar.
I wish we could do something other than praying.
I want to say something to you.
I had an employee before, Ayşe.
She came to me today.
They took his son hostage in the bank.
They don't show mercy even to the children.
May God save our state and nation.
Amen.
The child was in bad condition. He was ill.
His mother said that if he didn't take his medicines, he would die.
There were many children hostages inside.
May God save them. I hope we will get through this situation.
Amen.
I think it won't be easy.
Why do you think so?
Ambassadors came.
They said the demands of the partisans.
Our majesty rejected all of them.
They say that it will lead a more desperate situation.
If so, we will have open house.
What are you saying, Bidar?
Who will you host in this situation?
Make preparations immediately. Invite the wives of the ambassadors.
They sabotaged the line as you said, majesty.
Could you learn who did it?
Unfortunately, majesty.
But we have installed a new line.
And we have mounted guards.
Admiral Kemalettin
Yes, majesty.
I didn't suspect your father's loyalty.
I don't suspect your loyalty anymore.
You went through the hoop.
You chose your state.
You didn't disappoint us.
Thank you.
Shyness is good.
Never change.
Come with me, admiral.
Catastrophe, Mr. Zaarof!
Abdülhamit
rejected all of the ambassadors.
Sarah told me. I knew.
What do you think? What should we do?
I'm confused a little. I had my hair cut.
We will find a way.
Mr. Zaarof
We learned that all of the admirals were planning a move.
They may attack us suddenly.
The rot set in.
Don't flurry.
Abdülhamit will send the patriarch to Armenians.
Good.
Well
What do you expect from this?
I'm planning something. Do you have any idea?
Mr. Zaarof
Of course I have a good idea.
But we should discuss a problem.
Abdülhamit wanted his men to dig a tunnel.
From one of the homes behind the bank
They will get in the strongroom of the bank via this tunnel.
They will take the documents.
We should learn the route and demolish it.
You heard me, right?
Learn the route of the tunnel from the soldiers behind the bank and draw it.
I will cut your ear if you do something wrong.
I don't know any other advice.
Mr. Zaarof
You really have principles.
What was your opinion, admiral?
My opinion is that...
What will happen if patriarch is killed?
Armenian people will get angry.
Things will go wild.
All the Armenians will riot.
They will create trouble.
And Ottoman Empire will invite the English to stop the disorder.
When the English come to the capital city, Abdülhamit can't survive here and they will have to run away.
Goodbye, majesty.
Mr. Herzl
We have good news.
A journalist like you wants to hear these news.
What is that, admiral Mahmut?
Abdülhamit will run away to Egypt with his family.
It is such a gossip that even those who obey their majesty will be alienated from Ottoman Empire.
Don't try to take off your ring.
It's not important for us anymore.
I can change everything, majesty.
We gave that chance to you when we appointed you as the patriarch.
But you forgot justice.
But we treated you fairly.
Admiral Cemalettin
Create a troop which consists of the soldiers whom you trust.
Take the patriarch to Armenians who worry about his life.
Don't exceed your authority.
You will be exiled when Armenians becomes sure about your life.
You can't come back to the capital city.
Beg pardon from your God for what you did.
But I'm not sure whether your sins will be forgiven or not.
Sultana
Your guests came.
Let them come in.
Here you are.
Sultana
Your invitation honoured us.
Welcome.
Welcome, ladies.
Thank you.
Our daughters can take care of your children if you wish.
Gladly. We can talk easily in this way.
Of course.
They will take a walk and have fun. They are innocent angels of this world, right?
If they become happy, everybody in the world can live in peace.
Do you want to see the garden? There are many trees and birds.
Do you want to go boating? You can see the fish.
Hatice
Welcome again. Come and have a seat.
Zülfet
You can serve the coffees.
Yes, sultana.
We heard some bad news today. Armenians occupied the bank. We are sorry.
It's not an important issue. It's just a demonstration which is held by some traitors.
Anyway. Let's not talk about politics.
I heard that you just came back from Paris. Did you miss there?
How can you expect me to miss Paris which is crowded? Its air is also polluted.
I'm happy in my mill says Alphonso Daudet.
I missed this place at least as much as him, sultana.
İstanbul is an invaluable city. It's unique.
These are the words that our poet Nedimi said.
How a weird city Paris is. It can't even please his own author.
I want to host you in Paris. If you accept my invitation, you will honour us.
Actually I love Istanbul very much and I'm not interested in Paris, London, or Moscow.
What happened?
None of your demands were accepted.
What will we do?
We should tip the scales in our favor in any case.
We have no time.
Herzl
Don't do it. Ambassadors don't want anybody to die. We should wait.
Why should we wait? We have no time. Let's kill all of them.
What will happen if you kill them? Nobody will stand behind you. You will wait.
We can wait. But our men are hugry and we don't have enough supplies.
If we knew this would happen, I would demand supplies and they had to accept it due to the hostages.
At least we could get something.
What is that, Mr. Zaarof?
It's the route of the Abdülhamit's tunnel.
But it will be a grave for them. It has an entrance but it hasn't got an exit.
These bombs are the last pieces of my private collection.
Then we shouldn't waste them.
We won't.
We will demolish it with a bullet and a bomb.
Ömer
I hope we will go there in time and save the document.
It's not enough, Osman.
There are also many hostages.
Zeynep is there.
Ahsen is there.
You are right.
Did you meet Ahsen in the palace?
No.
Not in the palace.
I first saw her in Sirkeci Train Station.
She wasn't traveling to the capital city by that train, she was traveling to my heart.
When she got off the train, I felt like a new sun rised.
She got in my car. I was taking her to Pera I didn't want that little trip to end.
I wanted to look back but I couldn't because of my shyness.
I lost track of time that day.
Anyway. I started talking incessantly. Come on. We should be quick.
Maybe you couldn't tell me your exact feelings but I saw how you looked her.
Did you rest?
Yes. We rested, Yusuf.
Thank you.
If we make an error in...
There isn't still any news, majesty.
Is the line out of order?
I think it's not, admiral.
I wonder how we will get the English under control by a telegram, majesty.
Don't be curious, admiral Tahsin.
Maybe one day curiosity turns into a sin.
God forbid, majesty.

The telegram has been delivered, majesty.

You are right, majesty.
Publish this in English in the newspaper .
When the newspapers are ready send them to London with spies.
But I don't want them to distrubute the newspapers without my order.
We won't be hopeless as long as you are with us, majesty.
Magnificent! Magnificent!
What's going on, admiral Kemalettin?
Patriarch will meet with the Armenians. We are preparing for it.
Magnificent. Magnificent.
But I don't understand why the ungrateful Armenians don't obey our majesty.
Why are they so impudent?
Admiral
We will make a deal with Armenians in some way.
But there are also such disrespectful people that they don't respect their parents.
Only God can help us.
May God help us.
Amen.
Anyway.
I don't want to hold you, admiral Kemalettin.
Those who are in charge in the palace can go.
You know that the Ottoman Bank was occupied.
Armenians have gathered on the streets. They are worried bout their patriarch's life.
They say that they won't go anywhere without being sure his life.
You are responsible for this carriage which will carry the patriarch.
It will go to the neighbourhood in which Armenians live by driving through the Lime Grove.
You will choose three man from the Armenian people and let them to see the patriarch.
If they do something wrong, kill them.
There will be also our soldier while they are meeting with the patriarch.
If he does something wrong, warn him if doesn't obey you, kill him also.
These are our majesty's orders.
Never do anything else but what I said to you.
I'm proud of you.
I'm really proud of you.
I mean, the majesty who has a soldier like you can't be overcomed.
I'm proud of you.
I don't want to hold you anymore. Mat it be easy.
Thank you.
Goodbye. / Goodbye.
Enjoy your meal, ladies.
Believe me, you should have seen the opening of the Eiffel Tower.
All French people were there.
I don't understand why people love Eiffel Tower. It's just an iron block.
I think it's like a big street lamp.
Is that so, ladies?
Eiffel is an excuse.
The people who come to Paris Fair make a night of it.
Yes. We also lay on many entertainments in the capital city.
We missed then.
No.
People are having fun outside even now.
Shall we go?
You can't go.
Because if you go, you may die.
The capital city is in danger, ladies.
The Muslims and Armenians kills each other.
The Ottoman Bank was occupied and innocent people took hastage.
Your husbands are responsible for all of these incidents.
What do you mean?
What do you really want?
Do you want us to kill each other? Don't you want us to hold weddings? Don't you want us to live?
What do you want from the innocent people?
Let's go.
You can't go.
I didn't give you the permission.
Deploy there with two soldiers.
Protect the lines.
Yes, admiral.
Look at the bank, admiral.
I heard that you didn't take our demands serious.
We will send you a hostage to show our goodwill.
Doctor!
Undignified traitors!
You can catch the smell, right?
Gunpowder smells.
I hear the gun reports.
But I can't see.
What do you want to see?
The new Ottoman Empire.
New Ottoman Empire?
How will it happen?
Without blood and gun.
We should get Abdülhamit out of the way with a silent revolution, Sabahattin.
Herzl
and my father have their opinions and they are fighting.
You also have an idea but you don't do anything else but watching.
You reckon!
I'm establishing, Sabahattin.
What are you establishing?
I'm establishing the committee which will dethrone Abdülhamit.
I'm planning the the young ones who will help me about the committee.
Promise me, Sabahattin.
For what?
You won't forget me when we dethrone Abdülhamit and you come to throne as a member of the dynasty.
I can promise you.
But how will it be?
By thinking
We will produce ideas.
We will raise a youth who will be enthusiastic and excited.
We will start with the schools.
It will be a revolution without gun.
There will be our men in the government.
Then
we will have a new Ottoman Empire.
We will have a new people and a new religion.
We should do something, Zeynep.
How?
What can we do?
They have guns. They can kill us.
Will we wait without doing someting?
It is dangerous, Ahsen.
Don't be afraid. We will be saved.
Don't be afraid, please.
Don't you see how he is? Let me inform the doctor.
Shut up!
If you talk I will blow his brains out.
There is a fish. / Yes.
Do you want to catch? Are you afraid?
Motherhood suits you.
Really?
Of course.
By your leave.
You can't go.
Your daughters and ours are taking a boat tour right now.
They can come if we call them.
If we don't call them, they can't.
The bandits whom your husbands support took many children hostage in the bank.
Moreover, one of these children is disabled.
If he doesn't take his medicines, he may die.
Listen to me carefully, ladies.
If you don't persuade your husbands of releasing those children, maybe I can't see my children anymore.
I also can't see my nieces anymore.
You can't see your children, as well.
They may get lost in the sea. The boat may capsize.
It's natural, right?
Don't do it, please.
We will do whatever you want.
Don't be afraid.
We don't hurt innocent people like you.
Your children are just taking a boat tour and having fun.
Of course.They will come back.
We become upset when we see a crying mother and a child.
You will come together with your children today.
But maybe the children who were taken hostage in the bank won't come together with their mother.
We want you to talk to your husband.
Say them to release the children.
We don't threaten you.
We're just asking for something.
You are right.
This cruelty will stop!
If you have a question you will ask me.
I paid the price.
What's happening in the capital city? What do Armenians want?
Do you have something to say?
God damn western states.
Why are you angry with the western states?
They don't stand behind us, Christian Armenians.
Right.
Cruel khalifa Abdülhamit kills everybody every day.
He is right.
My wife is lost.
My mother is wounded.
My father is in psychiatric hospital.
Why don't western states do something?
Are Christians unscrupulous?
Do something!
Help us or God damn you.
Stop the cruel!
Are you liar or the people who we call loyal Armenians?
Get out of here! We don't believe you!
You captured our patriarch, hindered our weddings, had desire to defile our families' honour, killed our people. But you are still talking!
Shut up, pander! I will kill you.
Aren't you ashamed?
Haven't Armenians become the merchant, architect, director, soldier in the country?
Didn't our state trust you by calling "the loyal people"?
Haven't the Muslims been your guests, friends, neighbours?
Do you want help from them who try to profit from you now?
Nobody can defend his honour by asking for help from the enemy.
You are my friends and neighbours.
I will plow through. You can kill me.
But I promise I never ask for help from our enemies.
Magificent new and document
Turkish decapitator spat blood among the Armenian rioters. He took along the heads in his sack.
My dear daughter
You know what you will do, ladies.
Don't worry, sultana.
Then goodbye everybody.
Children will be saved thanks to you, Mrs. Fatma Pesent.
I hope so.
Thanks to you.
We woke up to ourselves thanks to you. Thank you.
Gentlemen
I have good news.
Abdülhamit will exile the patriarch.
But patriarch will meet the Armenians before he is exiled.
Dead patriarch will be the real news.
It will rage the Armenian people.
Nobody can stop the Armenian people if they see the dead patriarch who is sent by Abdülhamit.
Our men are ready.
When it happens, they will construct a barricade.
They will pile up the stuff to the roads.
Soldiers won't enter.
The neighbourhood will be announced as an Armenian neighbourhood.
There are also Turkish people in that neighbourhood.
They will die.
Dead people don't exist.
Will you do all of them by killing the patriarch?
Is there a problem?
It's not possible.
You can put the blame on Abdülhamit today. But history doesn't lie.
The English, Russian and Armenians will pay pay us back in the future.
Come off it.
They shot the Muslims until today.
They didn't do anything.
Will they get angry when a patriarch dies?
The more value you see in your own country, the more other countries will value to you.
He is right.
Abdülhamit didn't value us. So we can't want other countries to value us.
The patriarch should die.
The English settled down.
We need some good news.
There is no other way to terrorise. The patriarch should die.
Abdülhamit ruined all of us.
He know politics better than all of us.
We can't struggle with him in politics.
But
But the children should be released.
Why?
This order is a must.
Who gave that order?
The French ambassador's wife, Russian ambassador's wife, and my wife exercise influence over all of us.
They don't want us to endanger the children.
It is really a must this time.
But they may not do what I say.
Say them that the English war ships are coming.
It won't be good for them if they don't obey them from day one.
Listen to me carefully.
Don't become suspicious.
This order is crucial.
If one of the men who will meet the patriarch does something wrong, kill him without hesitation.
There will be a man from us with the patriarch certainly.
If he does something wrong, you will warn him but if he doesn't obey you, you will kill him, as well.
Yes, admiral.
Get in the carriage, patriarch.
You shouldn't have done it to a man of god.
It will cost you dear.
You know that Ottoman Empire has respected your religion for years.
But your people shouldn't make trouble.
You are not a good man of god for your religion.
You can't talk to me in this way.
Pull yourself together.
I wonder which religion allows raising cain, killing people and betraying his own country?
Impertinent
Good night, admiral.
Don't forget.
You will put the bomb at the end of the tunnel.
Lie in ambush,
alm
shoot!
They dug the tunnel.
The grave is ready.
You will bury them. Come on.
What do you do when a person dies?
We pray.
We pray, too. We don't swear.
There is something else.
Surah al-fatihah
Pray.
All the best!
Mr. Zaarof
Let's go. Armenians are waiting for us.
They have to wait. Their future depends on us.
We are starting an operation for them.
We will make them a self-governing state against the Ottoman's authority.
They will take it from here.
They may become fully independent if they make the correct decisions.
If they can't, they will die.
Nobody can do what we did to Armenians.

I'm an Ottoman admiral, Mr. Zaarof.
I don't follow the wrong carriage.
You are tired.
Have a rest.
You should rest, Yusuf.
No. I will go on.
Come on. You will faint.
All right.
What about you? / I'm fine, Ömer. Don't worry. I feel better if I go on.

Patriarch is coming.

Open the door so that we can see the patriarch.
Patriarch! They immolated him.
