Yildiz Palace
Let the sheet be blood red, Saffet Bey.
And change this dinner set.
Use the special set of Yildiz ceramics produced by Imperial Factory.
My sultan. As you know, one knife of that set is lost.
I know. I know.
We're looking for the one holding that lost knife, anyway.
Did you handle it?
I did, my general.
I did. I informed Hiram.
Tonight, he will come to linden grove.
He will, but..
Come on, ask it. Ask.
Hiram.
He will come tonight.
But..
All the roads of the capital are being watched.
How will we get him out of Istanbul?
In a big chest.
My general. Don't speak as if you didn't know.
All the suitcases and chests are being checked.
There is such a chest that..
..nobody can dare to open it.
Which chest is it?
The chest on which there is our sovereign's seal.
Nobody can touch it.
The train to get Hiram out of Istanbul..
..will leave from the palace.
-It looks amazing, my sovereign. -Yes.
General Tahsin.
After it dries up, put it in the chest and seal it.
-It will go to emperor Wilhelm. -Yes, sir.
My sovereign. Will the Germans accept the offer of building the railway together?
The real question is.. General Tahsin.
Will we give this job to them even if they accept our terms?
Germans also compete to rule to the world like the British.
Let them run. The field is long.
But the hands holding the halter have to be ours.
But some people want to capture our halter these days.
Celal.
Stop following him after Hiram leaves the hotel.
He may notice you and give up..
..on going to the general who we're after.
What if he runs, my sovereign?
The revenge on infidels is our right, boy.
Hiram's time will also come.
The important thing for us is the traitor.
Did the generals get our invitation?
-Imminently, my sultan. -Good.
Whoever attempts to get Hiram away..
..instead of coming to dinner,
..the traitor is that.
My general.
-What? -An invitation from the palace, sir.
Abdulhamid Khan is waiting for generals for the dinner at exactly 8pm.
It says important.
Alright. You get out, girl.
Dinner?
What dinner?
As if it's the right time for a dinner.
My son is sick.
He chained my hands and feet..
..and kept me in a vault for a year.
I don't know what to say.
Years ago..
I wrote about Jewish state..
..on the wastepaper.
But I didn't collect it in a book.
He collected my ridiculous ideas..
..into a book himself.
Did you write that book?
Little bird.
You have wings, but can't fly.
Like me.
I don't have anywhere to go..
..but my heart doesn't wanna stay.
Come.
Come on, drink a little.
You'll be fine. Please, drink.
Please come in.
Come on, drink.
It's bad.
We did our best.
Why do you give so importance? It's just a bird.
The twist of fate. We're in the same palace.
If it lives,
..it can also give me hope.
Don't worry.
It will live.
Don't get upset anymore.
Vienna
Did you prepare your speech, Herzl?
I was born to give this speech, Sara.
Mr.Pavlus is coming to listen to you tonight.
If our friend graces, we can celebrate your success together.
..you'll meet him, in this way.
I have another listener, Sara.
Yildiz Palace
Birdman.
Yes, my prince.
The pigeon you examine. Can it survive?
Unfortunately, my prince. Injured badly.
I don't want that innocent girl to get upset.
Come on, you can beat it!
Come, on boy!
Come on, boy.
-Another plate? -No, thanks.
-It was delicious. God bless your hands. -Thank you.
Don't you think the soup is too salty?
I don't know. I didn't taste it.
But I don't think so. Asım's meause can't be wrong.
I really didn't touch the soup.
Don't lie to me!
You swindler fat boy! How salty it is!
You may have put too much, master.
You may have forgotten because you're old.
I'm gonna catch and put you in the soup!
Come here! Don't run!
Where have you been, brother? We've been waiting for long.
-Drink your soup. And let's go. -Shall I, brother?
No, thanks.
What's wrong? You seem bothered.
There was a man in the dungeon.
He got sick. Feeling sorry for him.
I gave all my money to him for medicine.
Good job, man. We can earn again.
Yildiz Palace
-General Mehmed must also be hungry. -What is your order, my sultan?
Take clean clothes to general Mehmed.
Let him come here for the dinner.
-You didn't get followed, right? -I changed to coaches up to here.
I went to Bebek bay and returned. Don't worry.
Even if they had followed, they must be lost.
Good. Well done.
Come on, have a seat.
Get in it.
-Where are we going? -To the palace.
Did you lose your mind, general?
I bought a first-class train ticket for you, Hiram.
But your train will leave from the palace.
Get in it.
Get in.
Coachman.
To northern gate of the palace, boy.
Let's get in through Mr.Abdulkadir's secret entrance.
My sovereign.
I delivered your forgiveness to general Mehmed.
He became so happy.
General Osman.
Old boy.
He proved his loyalty to his country in Pleven.
You can't buy him.
His treachery would be so heavy.
I'm glad he came.
-Greetings. -You're very elegant, general Riza.
I just wanted to deserve our sovereign's table, general.
You're a soldier, general Riza.
However well you wear, you can't get rid of the dust from battlefield.
-Greetings. -Greetings.
Did you choose that sheet, general Osman? It's blood red.
I've seen everything in blood red since Pleven, general.
General Riza and Ethem.
They're soldiers.
If they attempted to assassinate, we wouldn't get saved easily.
General Crazy Fuat.
The horse is called bay..
..and the good man is called crazy.
You got saved from sparrow hawk, but can't escape from the falcon.
I don't want the girl to get upset, birdman.
Nobody will suffer.
You can go out, birdman.
What are you doing?
I don't want Ahsen to get upset.
It was already gonna die. I did to stop its misery.
It's you, Abdulkadir.
While you scatter light, your other part is dark.
While you want to cheer one life up,
..you take another life.
My son. If you want to do favor, do a real one.
Tell him your father with with whom you entered the palace that night.
Welcome. Good night.
Did Mehmet get forgiven?
Our sultan took off the treachery slander on me.
Two men are left, general.
Either general Izzet..
..or general Mahmud.
Come here, Hiram.
It's your train.
-Get in. -Will I go in that, general?
It's the only thing that won't be checked on the way out of capital.
You'll go as the sultan's gift.
The palace guardians will drop the chest on the harbor.
I arranged everything.
These are the names of our men's in the capital.
If there is any order,
..you'll make the cells move.
Tell Herzl..
..I won't stay here for too long, either.
Come on, get in.
Have a good journey, Hiram.
Vienna
Shalom!
Mr.Herzl will make the speech of the night.
We believe.
The Jews having been slaughtered for 2000 years..
..can never be eradicated!
Our holy book and prophecies say..
..the time of Jews has arrived.
I mention about the Promised Land in my book, The Jewish State.
I mention the day our exile will end.
We'll found World Zionist Organization today.
And we've opened the path to Jerusalem!
Friends. I'm Benjamin Zeev Herzl.
Besides my journalist and jurist identity,
I feel honored to be founder of this organization.
I'm addressing you as your leader today.
Leader Herzl! Leader Herzl!
We founded the Jewish state tonight.
But everybody will laugh at us, if we say that loudly.
5 or 50 years later,
The whole world will accept this.
Don't doubt that!
All humans will survive..
..as long as they serve us who Jehovah chose.
Yes, Herzl. Where is that state's flag?
Where are the Nile and Euphrates? We also want them!
Hey Israel!
Hey twelve sons of Israel and their descendants.
There is also the Nile and Euphrates.
They are here in your flag and your future.
Everything will exist as long as they serve you.
Great Mabeyn
It's 8, general Tahsin.
I'm a little late due to paper work.
Attention!
-Where is our sovereign? -In the dining hall, my prince.
You're doing a real thing now, prince.
No matter what, it will be real.
Mahmud.
I ask for forgiveness, my sultan.
This gizmo is out of order. It's late for two minutes.
I ask for forgiveness.
A table, which your majesty doesn't join, can be deluxe.
But it can't be delicious.
I don't have a knife, general Osman.
I don't have knife.
These knife are from my special collection.
Produced in Yildiz Factory.
Obviously, my sovereign. They're excellent.
But a piece of the set is missing. All of them are numbered.
Number 8.
And with that knife, probably.
One of our girls, Makbule was murder..
..in my palace.
My sultan.
I apologize.
What's wrong, my prince?
Game is over, uncle.
My father will decide whether it's wrong or right.
I'm an Ottoman general, my prince.
If you have something to say, tell me bravely.
We entered the palace secretly that night.
You changed the maps.
You killed that girl. And everything.
Our sovereign will also know about everything.
Alright. Go tell him.
And I'll tell him about your personal safe and cheer him more..
Even..
I'll also tell him..
..the knife that killed the girl is in your personal safe in the bank.
Who knows..
Don't bother looking for the keys.
I have both the keys of your safe..
..and your other secrets.
You killed the girl, not me. What are you trying to do, general?
I'm just trying to save my family.
..and you,
..and our sultan,
..and your aunt.
You all are my family.
Protect me by putting the blame on me for the murder of the girl?
Neither of us want that.
Then..
Let's behave reasonable.
I'm sick of this palace..
..and all your games.
I'm not done speaking.
You've fell down so easily.
-What else do you want? -There is..
..only one last thing that I want you to do for me.
Then we all will get rid o this.
Listen me carefully, please.
My prince.
About your dear uncle, general Mehmed.
Yildiz Palace
Your coffee, my sovereign.
-General Tahsin. -Yes, my sovereign.
What about the aid campaign of the railway?
The donations from the Islamic lands are increasing day by day.
Besides, almost all the officers said that..
..they would give half of of their salaries.
Magnificent.
You put sugar in our coffee, and richness in our conversation.
General Mahmud.
What is the amount of authorized donations?
Nearly two thousands golds, my sovereign.
Magnificent.
Happily.
Thank god.
-Amen. -Amen.
Our sovereign sent the invitation..
..of building the railway together to the German emperor.
My sovereign.
With your permission, I'd like to manage the aid campaign..
.with general Mehmed.
We should invest to increase the amount..
..and put the good use.
If our sovereign orders me,
I can participate in every duty with honor with you.
General Mahmud.
Good.
Be patience, general.
When we reach two thousands golds,
..we'll make a decision.
What kind of rope is that? Will it carry?
The mechanism is old, but strong.
What's up, guys? What's the load?
We don't know. The guardians of palace left here.
As they said, it's the property of palace, Kerop Agha.
It doesn't matter. I'll open it to check.
Didn't you understand?
It has sultan's seal on it.
-A chest with sultan's seal. You can't touch it. -Kerop Agha.
I called you agha. What about keeping it shorT?
Alright.
Alright. Load it!
Lift it!
It's falling! Falling!
Hiram!
-Who the fuck is that bastard? -The bastard who assassinated the sultan.
-I'm going after him. -Be careful!
You tell Celal.
Yildiz Palace
Did you see general Mahmud's face when you mentioned the knife?
Just because he blanched and felt nauseous..
..It's not right to label a general with treachery.
But..
It doesn't have mass..
But nothing can weigh more than suspicion for you.
Vienna
You'll send the pictures taken here tonight to only me, okay?
Mr. Herzl?
Some of Jewish workers' donations.
And these are check counterfoils.
That money will be..
..the principal capital of a bank first, then the State of Israel.
Yildiz Palace
Please, come in.
-I hope I didn't disturb. -No.
-I was also thinking about you. -Think about me?
How?
You're a hero and I feel grateful to you.
Don't say so.
What did I do to feel happy with your complimentary words?
You saved that poor bird. Not enough?
Not an important thing.
Is it insignificant, my prince?
This bird would be dead by now without you.
You seem preoccupied.
I want to talk to you about something.
I'll be happy even if I help little.
Let's say..
You'll leave someone in a tight spot reluctantly.
I mean.. You're being forced to do it.
What would you do?
You can't say everything to the person you love.
But the thing you have to do will hurt that person.
Exactly.
Even though I lost my memory,
I believe that the evil brings disasters.
I have to.
Then..
You should warn..
..the person you love.
I appreciate.
The traitor who attempted to kill me got out of our chest, right?
I followed him.
But I lost him around Kuruçeşme, unfortunately.
-If you give permission, my sovereign.. -I won't, general!
I want the explanation!
Wasn't that chest affixed by my special seal?
I sealed it personally, my sultan.
We we saw the chest, it had seal on it, my sultan.
Then someone put Hiram in the chest despite my seal.
My sovereign. Apart from me..
..General Izzet, Mehmed and Mahmud are sealers of yours.
Izzet, Mahmud and Mehmed.
The last-comers of the dinner.
We couldn't think the traitor was so reckless..
..and he would use to the palace to cause Hiram to escape.
Celal. It's my personal order.
The houses in Kuruçeşme will be searched one by one.
The houses of general in particular.
Write the orders, general Tahsin.
Yes, my sultan.
Azime!
In the name of god.
Welcome. My general.
God damn you, Sabahattin.
You get buried in shadows like a retired hangman.
Scared?
To save my life from Abdulhamid,
..There is no game left not played by me.
You ask me if I got scared. My god.
What happened? Tell me.
Our prince was about to..
..tell everything today.
I stopped him in the last minute.
You visit Abdulkadir tomorrow.
Making mischief to Abdulkadir won't work for us.
Did I tell you to make mischief?
On the contrary, You'll build stronger bridges.
Malign me if necessary. Just let him give me what I want.
-What did you want him to do? -To be his uncle's hangman.
Hangman?
Abdulkadir is very selfish, but can't kill even a fly.
He can't be a hangman.
An incontinent person..
..can be everything.
These people can put their most beloveds into fire without blinking an eye.
Why did you stand like a demon?
-Sit down, son. -Whatever, my father.
We can talk about these later.
You have a guest downstairs.
-What guest? -Come, general. Come.
What are you doing here?
You're in danger, general.
Let's meet in the German Consulate at 8am tomorrow morning.
Even if I'm late, I request you to wait.
It's a matter of life and death.
I disturb again, general.
But soldiers came from the palace.
They're at the gates. Shall I let them in_
If they put me in prison again, they won't let me get out this time.
What's up Celal, at this hour?
We're looking for a fugitive in Kuruçeşme, the sovereign's orders.
We'll search the house.
I was under observation first.
Now you'll search my house like a raid at night.
Are you playing with me?
Our sultan has no orders to check your house especially, general.
We're searching all the houses around, not only yours.
And who are you?
You stay.
You're supposed to be in the ship, not here.
The man who saved the sultan.
He got in my way two times. Like a nightmare.
Oh my god.
I risked almost everything and got you into the palace.
..hid you in the chest, sent to the ship.
And you're eating cheese and drinking wine in my kitchen!
How did you get this wine?
Go hide it.
Eat little cheese.
Not by huge slices. You're gonna run out the cellar.
Pack it up.
It's the sultan's orders. Why don't you understand?
It's the general's house, captain.
-What's going on, housekeeper? -I tried to stop, general. But..
They didn't listen.
What's going on, Celal?
-We're disturbing you at night, sorrily. -How dare you?
We are searching the traitor assassin of our sultan everywhere.
We're not doing anything but sultan's orders.
We searched your neighbor general Mehmed's house.
We'll also search yours. With your permission.
Is it the same as general Mehmed's house?
It's the private house of the sovereign's sister.
-Watch your words. -But, general..
No buts!
Bring the sultan's orders sealed.
Then I'll do anything.
It's our sultan's orders, general.
Excuse us.
If the sultan ordered to have my house searched,
..please come in, Celal.
-Are you a soldier? -No.
-Are you a detective? -No.
How dare you come into my house? You impertinent.
Step back.
What's going on here?
Get afraid of Seniha's rage, Celal.
I asked you what's going on here.
It was seen that the assassin of our sultan got disappeared around Kuruçeşme.
It's just a precaution.
Get out.
I told you to get out! Impertinent!
I told you, Celal. See you.
-The house is clean. -Who is that?
General Mahmud.
The husband of Seniha Sultan, the sister of our sovereign.
-Why did you ask? -For nothing.
We got Seniha sultan very angry. Very.
I'm just walking after you like an officer.
Let me do my own business. Deliver my respect to our sovereign.
-Let me keep driving the coach. -No.
You should tell him yourself.
Don't let him think you're laying down on the duty.
-How is the news, my sultan? -These out of dates papers..
..are doing nothing, but calling us cruel and enemy of freedom.
I don't get it. Why do all the newspapers continuously write the same things?
Those helpless men don't have a choice.
They have two sayings to earn money.
Slander and insult.
You didn't eat the eggs with onion.
I cooked it with my own hands, though.
After this information,
I want you to know this. Eggs and onion..
..have another meanings for me now. My sultan.
I'm happy that general Mehmed got cleaned in your eyes, my sultan.
But it's not because general Mehmed is my brother.
..but because you have a general to trust.
My sovereign. I don't want to disturb this happy family picture.
-But I woke up with voices of soldiers last night. -I know, Seniha.
They were searching the murderer who pointed gun at me with my orders.
I think it's not appropriate for them to enter my harem.
As you know,
..my husband and I won't hide a fugitive in our harem.
Precaution!
Precaution, my sister.
He may have entered your house without your notice.
Don't make it personal.
Is it possible for me to..
..to drink my special coffee, in my special camellia, with a special woman?
While we kept silent when my brother got kept for precaution,
..you overreacted when your house got searched.
Your brother's patience is also limited, Seniha Sultan.
General. At 8am tomorrow.
Calm down, my prince.
What's up? You look so messed.
You ask this to your father, Sabahattin.
Abdulkadir. Brother.
We went to a park in Maslak ranch when we were children.
You convinced me to run away because you wondered about Sarıyer.
You jumped into the sea, I saved you from drowning.
If you didn't know how to swim, why did you jump into the sea?
I didn't jump into it, you pushed me.
How could I know you couldn't swim?
The whole palace panicked as if we got kidnapped.
It was dark when we returned.
I took all the fall and my mother beat me.
-And then pneumonia. -We couldn't meet for weeks.
Now it's my turn.
I should save you from drowning.
I don't know what my father wanted from you, Abdulkadir.
Listen, brother.
Look at my eyes. I promise you.
I swear.
If I have to make a choice between father and you.
I'll be on your side without thinking.
But now.. Please.
Do what he wants.
I know my father sees red.
Trust meç
Do it.
You wait inside. I'll let out sultan know.
Okay?
Forgive me if I scared you.
-Captain Celal told me to wait here. -Not important.
I was tidying up because I got bored.
Let me help you.
Thanks.
We came across many times. But I even don't know your name.
-Neither do I, in fact. -My name is Ömer.
I didn't mean that. I don't know my name, either.
I had an accident and lost my memory.
I don't remember anything, so my name.
But I remember an important thing for you.
When sultan's coach crashed you,
You dropped this picture. I took it with me.
But I couldn't find a chance to give. Until today.
A village.
Yes. I see.
The guy with you?
He may be your husband.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Come in, son. Sit.
My sovereign.
I have a steel safe in my heart. I can't carry the secret in it.
Let's carry together, son. Speak.
At the night when the servant girl was murdered..
I got out of the palace through the secret passage in the cellar.
I just wanted some entertainment.
But something went wrong and I returned to my room late.
I never saw that girl that night. I don't know her, anyway.
You don't have any mistakes, son.
You got out of the palace without our sovereign's knowledge.
It isn't a small thing, of ourse.
If your burden is too heavy, land it now.
Speak.
I got out alone.
But there was someone else when I was in my room back.
-Who? -My mother's brother.
My uncle, general Mehmed.
He left me in my room.
Then he got out of the palace by the secret passage in the cellar.
I don't know what happened between him and the girl.
General Tahsin.
Prepare the aide troop! Arrest general Mehmed!
You told a lie.
You seem disturbed, general.
Please tell me if there is anything to do for you.
You did what you could, ambassador. Thank you.
I think our mysterious guest won't come.
Surprising. Because he enthusiastically wrote that he would come, in the note.
He didn't come.
But I wish I knew who would come, at least.
Come in.
I'm going out to let you do your business freely.
General. I don't advise you to get out.
Sultan Abdulhamid sent his personal guards to your house.
You're wanted for the treachery.
What?
Someone seems to have sworn to take my head.
Here you are.
You can write a asylum request.
Otherwise, I can't keep you here.
Who are you?
Who am I?
You say we should flap despite everything?
But I forgot how to flap a long time ago.
Did you wound recur?
Come here.
Come, come, come.
I managed to hold the congress that will change the world's history.
But the congress is a secret for ones telling me I can't do it.
News came from the Ottoman. He'll take on the railway soon.
I'm leaving this envelope and a picture from the congress for you.
The book of my secrets.
You'll also leave it for the history after me.
Sara's here. Full stop.
57 thousands golds collected in the congress.
I put it into a single account.
The future of all Jews is here.
Don't be ridiculous, Herzl. You know you can't open a bank with that money.
But I have news for you.
Mr. Parvus promised to ope n an infinite credit for you.
I won't do that. If I take their money, the Jewish country will be theirs.
You think you could found the country without them?
The power should be only in our hands. We can't give it to anyone.
How will you do that, Herzl? Be realistic, please.
A telegram came from general Mahmud.
I'll found the Jewish bank with the aid money..
..that Muslims sent for the sultan.
You think what will happen when you open the bank?
I will tell the sultan to make his wish.
We can build the railway or fill his treasure.
Just give us some land in Palestine.
You'll swindle the sultan first.
And then you'll negotiate with him.
Not swindling, but trade. We know well about the trade, Sara.
General Mahmud thinks he can come here with so much money.
I want you to go to Istanbul. Show him the way.
-Sorry, Ömer. Our sultan is too busy. -No problem, Celal.
Take this order. You can show it in and out.
Thanks.
You think you can play with everyone because you're the prince?
-What's going on? -I lost my memory, not my brain.
The pigeon in my room isn't injured.
Where is that poor pigeon?
It was about to die.
And it did.
I changed it with a new one because I didn't want you to get upset.
You can't make people happy by hiding the truth.
If winter arrives, you can't revive your garden with fake flowers.
I don't remember anything.
But I remember well I hate lies!
Please, stop.
I'm alone.
Be my confidant.
You can't go.
I'm not a servant in your palace.
You can't give me orders.
My sovereign.
Tell me quickly whatever it is.
Because I'm too busy.
My brother general Mehmed may not have much skills.
He may also have mistakes in state affairs.
But you know.
He would never betray you.
I don't blame him. So don't try to convince me.
You son blames him.
Abdulkadir may be wrong.
Will you find a general guilty only with a person's words?
They went to general Mehmed's house, my sovereign.
But we learned that he requested asylum from the German embassy. They went to general Mehmed's house, my sovereign.
But we learned that he requested asylum from the German embassy.
This fact is enough for you to see the truth about your brother?
-I have good news. -What is it?
The princed told the lies that devil whispered to his ears.
Shame on you, Sabahattin.
Do you call the general a devil?
The devil even learns from him.
Not at all.
General Mehmed also requested asylum from the German embassy.
Whoa! Look at this news.
What Abduhamid hates most is..
..that one of his generals complains about his country to ambassadors.
If I said now that I changed the maps,
..he wouldn't even believe me.
That's it, Hiram.
That's it.
Come on. You'll request asylum from the German embassy immediately.
We convinced Abdulhamid that..
..general Mehmed killed the girl and changed the maps.
What if you request asylum from the German embassy now?
We'll also put the blame on general Mehmed about the assassination.
The free devil plays with its tail.
Come on, stand up!
Abdulkadir. Look at my face, I'm your mother.
Will you look at the art of your smack?
It just happened. I'm sorry.
I'm your mother. Be affectionate.
If I weren't affectionate, I would tell my father about your smack.
Abdulkadir. How could you call your uncle..
..a killer and tratior?
My sovereign. I feel sorry for you.
Betrayal from the closest ones must be very difficult.
Even my shadow leaves me after the sun rise, Seniha.
I don't trust, but benefit of the doubt.
Bidar Sultan is not fine, my sovereign.
She smacked Abdulkadir in front of me, after you left the camellia.
I'm afraid she can't carry his brother's burden.
I invited you for this, Seniha.
For a while..
I want you to take on the harem's order.
Until Mrs. Fatma Pesend arrives, at least.
-Is Mrs.Fatma Pesend coming? -Yes.
They sent a telegram.
My child in her belly and she herself is quite fine.
They'll get out of hospital soon.
I'm glad to hear that, my sovereign.
Come in, general Tahsin.
-Let's see what news doomster has. -My sovereign.
I feel ashamed that I couldn't bring good news. But..
I see that, general.
Don't sink into despair. Speak.
My sovereign. Hiram was seen entering the German embassy.
What did you think?
I can believe that general Mehmed may have changed the maps.
But I didn't believe that he worked with the assassins of you.
Yes.
If someone sells his loyalty, his life costs cheap.
Invite the German ambassador.
-Let's see how much general Mehmed costs. -Yes, my sultan.
You say you saw with your owns eyes..
The rascal fired at his own arm saying "Die for the sovereign!"?
Absolutely, Ferman Agha.
But I'm not sure if the man in the assassination square was general Mahmud.
I expect that cheeky bastard to do this.
You seem to know general Mahmud, Ferman Agha.
Of course, I do.
In the first years of Abdulhamid's enthronement..
Scalieri, Aziz and his committee tried a coup.
They couldn't.
General Mahmud was also said to be involved in that committee.
He got arrested for a while.
Then got cleaned and released.
But his ambition has never ended.
He got ascended by firing at himself.
Before I vowed not to use a gun,
He worked with the Istanbul's wastes.
It didn't matter to him. Armenians, Greeks or Jews.
Then he stopped hanging out with the looters.
I suppose he found more beneficial partners.
Refresh the coffees, boy.
-Come, come. -Ferman Agha is speaking. Listen to him!
You're always larking. You lay on the job.
You mind your own business.
No matter what you do, you're the son of souper master Asım.
You don't fail to compete the ones in the palace.
-You'll burn us one day. -Yusuf.
Traitors are pointing guns at the sultan.
That guns get pointed at our country, religion and honor.
-What can we do? -You don't know? Or you don't bother?
Our prophet said..
"Reject the wrong with our hands, if not possible wiht our tongues..
..if you can't, with your hearts."
"It's even the weakest degree of the belief" Didn't he say that?
He did.
-I should solve that issue. -You say you don't remember his face.
I don't remember his face, but that he shot his own arm.
Move. We're going to the general's house.
If he shot himself, a doctor must be visiting him.
Let's go. Thus, you have a reason to enter the palace.
He's after something else in the palace. For your information.
-What is it? -I don't know.
I saw how he looked at the girl, Ferman Agha.
-Ömer? -No such a thing.
Girls!
Our sultan's sister Seniha Sultan..
..took the control of the harem for a while.
Girls. The harem's situation is obvious.
The one of our beloved girls was murdered, unfortunately.
Our country is being attacked internally and externally.
As you know, Bidar Sultan is busy with his brother.
We can't expect her to deal with the harem now.
What time is our girls' sleeping time, the head-servant Zülfet?
-We didn't determine the sleeping time. -Yeah?
They say if you walk at night, the trouble gets in your way.
From now on, you'll go to bed in an hour after the night prayer.
-Clear? -Yes, my lady.
Everybody will work by the rules.
Free ones won't walk around.
They will read books, deal with prays..
..and study music.
But I don't want anybody to idle. Clear?
Yes.
Good.
All hands on deck, now!
I didn't realize you were here.
Sorry.
I wanted to tell you first about our sultan's order.
Our sultan's order, right?
It seems more like it was your desire, Seniha Sultan.
Did you really want that from our sovereign in such a terrible time?
Did you tell him to give you the control of harem?
You're wrong. Brother offered me that.
But not for long.
It seems Mrs.Fatma Pesend has got healthy.
I'll transfer the duty to her when she comes.
Let me talk to our sovereign.
I think you shouldn't. He probably won't want to see you.
He may even be thinking about divorcing you.
As you know, he divorced Mrs.Safinaz..
..because of her and her family's impertinence.
I didn't mean that.
-What did you mean? -Look.
I was an unhappy child, raised alone among the crowd.
My father had always responsibilities. I give him his due, though.
He took care of us as much as he could.
Do you have another problem?
Everybody has a problem.
It's different this time.
You remember Ömer who we met in the garden?
He gave me this.
Where did he find?
He said I dropped it during the accident.
My prince? Do you know him?
I don't.
-I wouldn't tell even if I did. -Why?
If I told you,
..you would return to your past.
But I met a real thing for the first time in this palace.
The reality of your beauty.
I want to see this reality forever.
-Maybe we.. -My prince.
I couldn't say there in that ruckus. I have great news for you.
Are you divorcing?
No.
With Mrs.Fatma Pesend,
..your fiance Miss Pakize is also coming from Paris.
Congratulations.
You, your husband, your son, your whole family.
What are you all trying to do? Your purpose?
Can't we have a little peace in our family?
My god. What's wrong with you, boy?
You know well what's wrong. You saw my interest in her.
You're trying to spoil my happiness. The killers of peace.
You and your husband go now. Get out of our life.
-What about my husband now? -That's the real question.
Really. Why is your husband so interested in our family?
What do you mean, Abdulkadir?
It's my turn to break the peace now.
Listen, aunt. My mother's brother didn't kill that girl.
I entered the palace with your husband.
I asked general Mahmud that. He said he saved you from the police station.
Why do say so about a man who did a favor for you?
-Why are you lying? -I lied. But not to you.
But to my father. Because your husband threatened me.
What?
He stole the key of my personal safe.
He put the knife that he used to kill the girl.
He came to me.
He told me to say..
..that general Mehmed killed the girl and changed the maps.
..or I would be guilty.
Enough!
Listen, Abdulkadir.
I'm sick of this game and suspecting my husband.
If you have evidence, talk. Or I won't listen to you.
I do.
Your husbands still has the key.
Go find it.
My sovereign.
We invited the German ambassador. He will be in your presence tomorrow.
You know about the attitudes of ambassadors towards the refugees.
-What are you gonna do? -You think..
The German ambassador won't surrender our own general to protect him, right?
I think so. He must have decided my now.
General.
That poor man..
..will beg to give general Mehmed to us tomorrow.
I can't question your mind, my sovereign. But how?
Whatever.
-Invite general Mahmud to this house. -Yes, sir.
But invite him personally.
My Bidar. My beautiful girl.
Ottoman is a big and unique dynasty.
..which serves for the Islam with honor.
They protect the heart of the Muslims.
I'm sending you to honorable Ottoman palace for a good education.
That's my purpose.
But if you become sultan's wife one day,
..you should regard your husband and country as the most important.
Whoever betrays, check him with the steel of that knife.
If the traitor is your tongue, keep it silent.
If it is your eyes, blind them.
And if it is your head, behead your self.
Mother.
What's going on, mother?
I don't know what's going on, my beautiful daughter.
How could Abdulkadir blame my uncle?
What Abdulkadir said doesn't matter anymore.
Your uncle requested asylum from the German embassy.
Be with my father, mother.
But not as the sister of general Mehmed.
..but as my father's wife.
Come in.
-My sovereign. -Girl.
I'm here to take your permission, my sultan.
-For what? -I'll take care of myself.
I don't wanna be a burden for you.
-Where will you go? -I don't know.
But Ömer..
He found this picture which fell during the accident.
The man is probably familiar to me. I can find him.
I can find my family and any familiars from my past.
Ömer is a nimble boy.
The village in the picture. I think it's in the Balkans.
This tree is from there.
It's impossible to know exactly where it is, of course.
Let's make a deal, child.
We learn where this picture was taken. You stay here, okay?
But I'm being a burden for you.
And I can't pay for my food and drinks.
Alright.
You'll clean this carpenter shop. You can pay like that.
Okay?
You clean well. I heard about good words about you.
Come in.
-My sovereign. -Speak.
Lady Bidar is here. She wants to see you.
Tell her I'm not available right now.
My sultan. My master.
Our sovereign is seeing a girl whose memory is lost.
He says that he doesn't wanna see you.
It means that he isn't available.
I think he's angry with you.
-When I mentioned your name.. -Stop, Saffet.
Enough!
Magnificent, dear.
Nothing remained from a huge wound.
-My general. -Okay, okay. Come on.
Take that sling.
You silly!
Okay, you close it outside. Come on!
Oh my god!
You create and then send them all to me.
Man.
We'll get into trouble. We're watching a general's house.
-Look. General Tahsin. -Wow!
I see you know all the officals in the palace.
I also got in the palace, but just saw the soldiers torturing me.
Look. The doctor's suitcase.
Move, move.
-What's going on? -Come, come.
-Are you a doctor? -No. A vet.
Do you have some pain?
Captain Ömer.
Insulting the detectives of the magnificent sultan's?
How many whips?
-It was just a joke. -Stop joking and answer!
-Who did you treat there? -If you are detectives..
General Mahmud got shot by just over here during the assassination..
..even from a very close point.
I got it. Keep walking.
Man. I remember the man pointing the same point.
Why would a general shoot himself?
I don't know.
General Tahsin is waiting downstairs, sir.
Why is general Tahsin here? With whom?
-What does he want? -What's that haste, Mahmud?
It's not haste. But at this hour of night..
We are generals. Our fear is high.
But thank god. Not for ourselves.
..but for our country.
Forgive me, general.
General Tahsin wants you to take your coat.
He's not here to see you, but to take you.
What are you playing, Mahmud?
Abdulkadir.
If you're playing with me, I'll burn you out.
According to him, my husband is a traitor if I find the key.
What's wrong, general Tahsin?
Why do you get worried, general? An ordinary house visit, here you are.
Are you playing with me, Abdulhamid?
Did you bring me here to kill me?
And did I step in your trap with my own feet?
Let me take that , general.
Take it.
Here you are.
Come, general Mahmud. Come and sit.
Mr. Isa.
Come and sit.
Come.
General Mahmud.
Mr.Isa is a porter in Tophane.
We have no coffee at home, my sovereign. Sorry.
Here you are.
Let's drink delicious ayran without the chance of being poisoned.
Drink, general Mahmud. It's Mr.Isa's halal ayran.
Drink.
-Can you make your living? -Thank god, my sovereign.
My wife's invention.
She washes the small stuff with the water gathering here.
So she doesn't need to go to the fountain.
-How many children do you have? -5 children, my sovereign.
When a friend died, we adopted his child too.
We have 5 children. Mrs.Asiye!
-Send our children. -Take this.
Come over here, guys.
You come here.
Wonderful.
-What's your name? -Abdulaziz.
Wonderful.
My uncle's name. Wonderful.
I saw Mr.Isa's name on the list of railway donators.
We wanted to visit him.
-God bless you. -I wish I could donate more, my sovereign.
While you work with high effort for the Islam world.
While you stand straight for Muslim's peace.
My donation is tiny.
God bless you.
Mr.Isa.
When the railway is finished,
I want to send you to a pilgrimage with your family.
My donation is one day-work, my sovereign.
-Will it be enough to go to Hejaz? -It'll be even more, Mr.Isa.
Let me tell you a story.
My father, Fatih Sultan Mehmed Khan.
While he was having the Fatiq mosque built,
He gathered the workers and said that..
"It's my charity."
"I'm doing that with my personal fortune. No help will be accepted."
-"Even a glass of water." -May god rest him well.
Amen.
It was hot. The workers were tired.
The workers got so thirsty. An old woman gave them a pot of yogurt.
Fatih Sultan Mehmed Khan woke up and went to mosque.
He gathered the workers and said: "Who accepted the help?"
One of workers stepped forward ashamedly and said:
"I did, my sovereign."
"It was so hot, and I got so thirsty."
"And old woman offered a pot of yogurt."
"And I ate it."
The sovereign smiled.
"I saw this in my dream at night"
He said.
Fatih Mosque was on the one side of the goodness scales..
And there was one pot of yogurt on the other with balance.
Holy man.
The amount is not important in the god's scales, Mr. Isa.
The important thing is that it comes from heart.
-May god protect you. -Amen.
May god protect you.
Come on, boys.
Attention!
-General Mahmud. -Yes, my sultan.
I brought you here to show whose effort is involved in the railway.
See it and even protect one penny.
Of course.
My sultan. If you let me,
I thought I should have a new house built for that family.
Do it, general.
Why do you tell me? Just have it built.
But without hurting them.
You think Mr.Isa is poor. No.
His heart is so rich that..
..he washes clothes with rain water.
..and earn his bread with elbow grease.
-General. -Yes, my sultan.
The railway money is under your control now.
But remember.
It's money of a nation like Mr.Isa.
Don't ever forget that.
General Tahsin.
Thank you, Celal.
Why did you invite him here to give him the duty?
We didn't give anything, general.
We took.
What did we take, my sovereign?
We took him into the examination, general Tahsin.
The rest in the hands of general Mahmud's honor.
I hope he won't waste Mr.Isa's great effort.
The capital city.
Welcome.
My general. The German ambassador Altmann is here.
-Welcome. -Thank you, general Izzet.
Sorry for inviting you at this early hour in the morning.
-Did you have breakfast? -I did, general Izzet.
I want to see the sultan, as soon as possible.
What I will say is obvious, though.
We can't return general Mehmed.
-I want the sultan also hear that from me. -Of course.
Of course. Here you are.
My sovereign. The German ambassador Altmann is here.
I'm glad he came. Keep him cheerful.
Won't you see him, my sovereign?
Of course. I will see him, general.
I will.
-What's going on here?
With Seniha's sultans orders, we're moving your room.
Give that to me.
How dare you empty my room? How does Seniha think she is?
Lady Bidar.
I ordered to change your room.
Are you moving in?
No.
Mrs.Fatma Pesend is coming with a baby in her belly.
She will need a large room, right?
I thought you would be happy.
I will, of course.
But couldn't you find another room in the harem?
Yeah, you don't know.
Hatice and Fehime will also stay here.
They will also need rooms.
Don't worry, though. I arranged the room downstairs.
There can be some moisture. But the summer is coming, you know.
Shame on you, Hatice.
You get paler day by day in this deserted palace.
You're a flower.
But you don't have branches to hold.
You're wind, but don't have any mountain to blow.
You're the rain. But there is no land to turn green.
This beauty are supposed to be crowned with a bride's veil.
But nothing but an ordinary comb touches our head.
It will, Hatice. Aunt Seniha sent some news.
We're supposed to tell the sultan..
..we'd like to move to Yildiz Palace with a letter.
She arranged everything.
Will we leave father and go?
Our staying here doesn't good to him.
Besides, he would also desire our happiness.
I don't know, Fehime.
Then, you will have no happiness..
..except the handkerchief the general gave you.
It's up to you. I'm writing the letter.
Are you coming?
Sara.
-My sister is missing. -Melike.
Yes.
She came to Istanbul suddeny and disappeared suddenly again.
I searched everywhere. As if the ground swallowed her.
Don't worry.
I know how strongly Melike overcame the problems in Bitola.
She is stronger than you.
So.. Why did you come?
I gifted a mirror to a beloved person.
He has a gift for me.
I'm here to take my gift.
Why are you staring like that?
You're telling me to leave you, right?
Who will release me?
Even if they did, I don't have anywhere to go.
Maybe, this sky is mine.
We've been waiting for too long, general Izzet.
You keep me waiting in this room.
Our sultan had some business.
-He is waiting for you. -Finally.
Follow me.
-Welcome. -Thank you, general.
But I waited for long.
Can we have the honor of seeing his majesty now?
Of course.
But..
Your clothes are not appropriate, sir.
Sorry.
I can't let you go like this in the presence of khalifa on the Earth.
-How? I didn't understand. -I mean..
Spruce up your clothes.
Don't you have a frock coat?
You are gonna s ee the sovereign..
of the Balkans,
..Anatolia,
..Arabian Peninsula,
..Caucasus and ma wara'un-nahr.
Please.
No, no.
You don't need to apologize.
Send a man to bring an appropriate clothes from your wardrobe.
Alright.
Speak, general.
The clothes of the German ambassador weren't appropriate for your presence.
So I sent him back.
It seems those new ambassadors don't know the ropes.
You got on the German ambassador's nerves, my sovereign.
But I still don't understand why he will release general Mehmed.
Thanks to our boy, Celal.
Place a chair in front of the table.
What are you doing here? Why did you come?
Is it the Eastern hospitality which the West complimented?
-What would you like, sir? -I'd like not be disturbed!
Yes, sir.
You seem nervous, general Mahmud.
Madam. Here..
Against a strict dictator and cruel sovereign,
..we fight with our blood and life.
Let us be some nervous.
Come on, general Mahmud.
You'll get be applauded if you say these in conference halls in Europe.
It's not the right place.
Whatever.
I'll be among us soon, anyway.
Our sovereign gave me the control of the money raised for the railway.
And you'll come to Europe with this money.
I'll make my next move against Abdulhamid..
..from Europe.
Listen, general.
You can't smuggle so much money to Europe.
-But Herzl has an idea. -What's that?
Herzl wants to found a bank.
A bank?
But his capital isn't enough.
If you lose in the stock market with the sultan's money,
..Herzl will win. And only the sultan will lose.
It means Herzl offer you to become a sharer of the bank.
Amazing.
A-ma-zing.
Well..
General Mahmud. I'm just curious.
Let's say the sultan died suddenly,
Will you still hold the aid money?
Lady.
If this miracle comes true,
I will have the Ottoman, not only the aid money.
But..
..we have a problem.
Our sultan doesn't know how to die.
Whoever shoots him, he will die himself eventually.
I even shot myself not to die.
The death doesn't come only from bullets, general.
You mean?
The bullet just brings a tough death.
You mean?
Why did you lie to me, Abdulkadir?
I'm desperate against our husband's evil plans.
-I see you're too. -Abdulkadir.
I search the living room, bedroom, everywhere. No key.
I doubted my husband only once. And I won't again.
Would he leave a very important thing in a place for you to see?
Doesn't he have a safe?
Come closer, general Tahsin.
You bring the journal about the German's emperor..
..that you took from Queen's palace.
Here you are, my sovereign. That's all I was able to take.
My sultan.
The German emperor Wilhelm and Russian czarina are..
..the descendants of the British Queen.
What about the king of Belgium?
Leopold the king of Belgium is the German emperor's uncle.
Speaking of one nation..
..they've come out to be one family, Tahsin.
It's mentione about..
..the Queen's disease. What's that?
Yes, my sovereign.
-Hemophiliac. -Hemophiliac..
If there is even a pinprick, it won't stop bleeding. Right?
Yes, my sovereign. A stab wound is enough to kill her.
The wife of Russian czar, his prince son Alexy,
..and King Leopold is hemophiliac too.
Then Germen emperor Wilhelm is hemophiliac too.
Yes, my sovereign.
But it's a secret. If it's learned..
..a small assassination committee can kill them all.
General Tahsin.
Go to the printing shop of palace.
Print newspapers to distribute in Europe.
Yes, my sultan.
Çırağan Palace
Sister. News came from Yildiz.
We're leaving.
Yes, we're leaving.
But by making our father hostage in the hands of the uncle.
Hostage?
Sultan Murad Khan.
Dad.
It's our last song.
We didn't want to leave you.
But you didn't want to leave the throne, either.
The fate got us into a war.
And we got defeated.
With your permission,
..we're moving to Yildiz Palace with Fehime.
We have to.
Forgive us.
May god forgive me.
Don't be cross with my brother Hamid.
He's not responsible for this situation.
The fate gave me this torment..
..and gave my brother the sultanate.
My brother won't discriminate you from his daughters.
Know this.
My last advice to you..
Protect your decency.
You can go.
Yildiz Palace
My sultan.
-Is he in? -Let me tell him.
Hey sufficient!
Hey unexisting! Hey everlasting!
Hey compassionate! Hey..
My sultan.
Why don't you see me?
You used to ask me how much I loved you, remember?
I remember.
You used to say that you loved me like a deadlock.
That deadlock is about to get untied.
For your information.
You think I'm angry with you about your brother.
I'm actually angry because you spoiled your decency smacking the prince.
Just this.
Yusuf said that we were the detectives of the sultan.
-He sang like a bird. -And?
He was general Mahmud's doctor. Just like I remember.
Shot over here on his arm.
It means he shot himself in the square.
-I need to tell our sovereign about that. -Listen, boy.
Our sovereign forgave that general once before.
If you go to the sultan..
..and tell him that,
..our sultan will ask for other evidence.
You'll blame a general.
You go to our sovereign with solid evidence..
..or..
..you keep silent.
Dear brother. A disaster fell on us.
We're going through a hard time. We need to fix it together.
I have to see and talk to you.
It's impossible for me to go there.
Meet me at 9 in the linden grove.
We're brother and sister.
Our secrets, fater and future are all connected to each other.
Even if the sovereign forgives you,
I won't, brother.
It's okay now.
Our sultan is waiting for you.
Mr. Altmann, the ambassador of the German emperor..
..is at your presence.
I've heard that you're trying to protect what is ours from us.
Send general Mehmed where he belongs.
My sultan. It's not possible to deliver someone who requested asylum.
Have a seat.
The sovereign's first showing the seat comes from kindness.
Yoıu can't sit at first.
I think we can agree, Mr.Altmann.
Have a seat.
It's a domestic issue of our country.
We have friendship with German Empire based on the past.
I advise you to avoid the attitudes that can spoil this friendship.
As I said, my sultan.
We can't deliver someone who requested asylum from us.
German rules works like this.
Is that so?
Ambassador of Istanbul leaked the secret of German Emperor.
And that's you.
Emperor Wilhelm, the descendant of British Queen..
..has been suffering from hemophilia secretly for years.
The doctors can't find a remedy..
-I checked it. Did you print 10.000? -Ready, my sultan.
Alright.
-You can give it to the European mail. -Yes, sir.
Your choice.
The emperor putting his arm into his coat in all the pictures..
..to hide his disability on his arm.
What will he do when he reads it?
But, my sultan. Please.
You'll go to your embassy now.
You'll deliver general Mehmed to our soldiers waiting at the gates.
And we'll put these papers away in vault of the palace.
The conversation is over. You can go out.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Don't be afraid, Mr.Altmann.
When we're sure of someone, he will be sure of us.
-Did the letter reach him? -Yes, my sultan.
Nobody will learn that I will get out of the palace tonight.
As you ordered, lady.
You seem like you got out of a battle.
Yes, general. I got out of a battle.
-And I got defeated. -What happened?
Don't ask what happened.
Just know this. I have to deliver you.
I see.
-Then you met Abdulhamid. -Yes.
The former prime minister Bismark..
..was quite right saying that %95 of the political intelligence..
..was given to Abdulhamid, %4 to me..
..and %1 to other leaders.
Wonderful.
Don't worry. I'll leave.
But I have a final request.
I accept all your requests except not surrendering to the palace.
I need to see my sister before I surrender.
Can you give me a coach of the embassy?
After I see my sister, I will go the palace myself.
Of course, general. I trust you.
See you sister. But if you resist surrendering..
The embassy guards escorting you will use force.
I wonder how Abdulhamid scared you so much.
Even talking about it scares me.
We can give my room to you, mother.
Where is my mother?
-I'm asking you where my mother is. -I can't lie.
Okay. Don't lie.
Where is mom?
You prince asked you a question? Where is mom?
She'll meet her brother in the linden grove.
She told me not tell anyone. Please don't tell her I told you.
Well..
-Say what you are gonna say. -She took his dagger with her.
She may have thought that she was in the danger.
Or my uncle will be in danger.
I'll cause my mom to be killer and my uncle to be victim.
Girl.
Why are you tiring yourself so much?
It's carpenter shop. Leave it a little messed.
It's good, my sovereign. It keeps me busy.
Good.
Make me a coffee. Let's see you other skills.
Bitter, made of cold water, plenty of grounds. Right, my sovereign?
Good.
My god.
-Mademoiselle. It's Yildiz Palace. -Wait for me.
Sultan Abdulhamid.
Only a woman could destroy you.
Then you made a woman to poison the sultan.
How is it, my sovereign?
-What? -Your coffee.
Did you see who left these here?
Delicious.
Come in.
Generals are ready in the Mabeyn, my sovereign.
Herzl is also here. Come here, son.
We were chatting with your friend.
It seems you have very good friends.
I'm proud of you, Herzl.
-What are you doing here? -We were just talking about your father, Herzl.
Sister.
Sit, Mehmed.
What's going on, my sultan?
If I knew my hands will betray the sultan,
..I'll cut that hand without thinking.
Why did you betray us?
-Are you okay, my sultan? -The sultan got poisoned!
-Do something, general doctor! -Call a doctor here!
Hurry up! Come on!
Are you okay, my sovereign?
