FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY

WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH
ARE DETECTIVE STORIES

THAY HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP
TO ACTUAL PERSONS OR EVENTS.

THIS SHOW IS IN MEMORY OF THOSE
GLORIOUS MARTYRS OF

THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, WHICH HAD
RULED JUSTLY OVER THE WORLD,

AND OF THE DESCENDANTS
OF THIS GREAT NATION

WHO LOST THEIR LIVES
IN THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE.

FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY

In the name of God.

When we put someone on trial,
we do it by taking refuge



in our Holy God and in the shadow
of the Just One.

We are people who have given their life

to Khalifa Omer Al Faruq's justice

and to deliver his justice.

The Commander of the Believers, His Highness Omer,
May Allah be pleased with him

has said that government shall be just.

The Cadis of the Ottoman Empire

have vowed to stay
on this judicial course.

When we pass judgment,
we do it based on real evidence

and taking refuge in the just one,

instead of our own opinions.

As long as I don't give up,

you will never win Mustafa.

Never.



Boris Zaharyas.

The darkness of the dungeon
is most probably

bringing some light into his soul.

Well my dear Sir,
I have seen a lot of cases.

I've just never seen one like this.

Boris Zaharyas.

The man is the devil in disguise.

God is always on the side of justice,
goodness and the people.

He forbids all kinds of evil
and unruliness.

That means even a man like Boris Zaharyas
is going to be weighed

on the scales of justice.

Son.

Everyone has a right to defend themselves.

Whatever the subject,
first you need to listen.

Then you are going to weigh it.
And in the end you will question it.

Yes, he might have been mixed up
with a lot of crimes.

Boris Zaharyas, may be traitor
and even a killer.

No matter what he is,
we have to be judicious.

When God brings justice,
he commands us not to sin.

When you bring justice, you do not
treat the cruel with cruelty.

You treat them with equity of justice.

I understand, Sir. Thank you.

Come on then.

DOLMABAHCE PALACE

-Father Shah.
-Yes, Neslihan Sultan.

Are you always going to be a Padishah?

Why do you ask?

You are always exhausted and concerned.

See you have lines on your face.

Come here.

These are lines of righteousness,
Neslihan Sultan.

But I don't have any, am I not righteous?

-Children don't have them.
-Why not?

Because children are always righteous.

Do they degenerate when they get old?

Yes, some of them.

Well, how do you become righteous?

How do you become righteous?

Now look, you for example.

You are a dignitary.

When you are a dignitary you act modestly.

You are powerful but forgiving.

You are very strong

but you are just.

That is when you are righteous,
on the right path.

Now, about your question.

We inherited this status
from our ancestors.

We work for the welfare
and wellbeing of our people.

Of course we get tired from working.

And when our time comes
we will leave behind our status.

But until then

we will pray that we don't wander off
of God's path. Okay?

Don't tire yourself too much, Shah Father.

-Let us out!
-Let us out of here!

All the money and power
I have gained in my life,

sometimes isn't even worth a Turkish yard.

We have only a few or no Turkish yards
between us, Esat Pasha.

But our worlds are so different right now.

You'll be out soon.

There is no evidence or witnesses.

The problem is not getting out
of here, Esat Pasha.

The real problem is my reputation.

What are you going to do when you come
face to face with Cadi Giyaseddin?

Today?

Boris Zaharyas will be reborn.

We searched Boris Zaharyas' house
from top to bottom, Cadi Efendi.

We could not find any evidence
or paperwork.

Boris Zaharyas is not reckless enough
to leave any evidence in his house.

The only thing we have are our witnesses,
Bekri and Calligrapher Mehmet.

Skopjan, Gazanfer.

You are responsible
for Calligrapher Mehmet.

You will bring him to court
safe and sound.

As you wish, Cadi Efendi.

And you two, go visit Bekri in jail.

Show yourselves to him,
so he won't get any mischievous ideas.

Afterwards, sir?

Afterwards, I have
another mission for you.

How? Something more important than this?

You are right, son.

I can only trust you for this mission.

Well, what is it that
worries you so, Pasha?

The intelligence unit
reports that there will be

a conspiracy against you
one of these days.

We are going to go out today, Pasha.
We are going today.

As you will, my Sultan.

Couldn't be better.

Good job.

I've never seen anything like it before.
Good job.

Thank you, Mr. Rhodes.

I'm good too but next to you
I'm pale in comparison.

There are better ones in the Queens'
personal guards, Mr. Rhodes.

Coffee?

I admire your humility.

The British, feel discomfort
because the Ottomans

pulled themselves together fast.
They expect immediate results.

Everything is planned
according to instructions.

Don't you worry about it.

Are you sure about this?

If I were you I wouldn't be so sure.

You...

Welcome to my home, welcome.

Would you like to come in?

Isn't Cadi Efendi, his highness here?
He is welcome as well.

He is dealing with the trial.

The trial is today, isn't it?

How nice. How nice.

The world, the afterlife.
He doesn't skip a beat.

And so you came to your Bekri Agha
to see how he's doing.

There is no perfume,
there is no Turkish delight.

That just won't do. No.

You talk too much, Bekri.

If you don't tell the truth

at the trial then you won't have
a tongue to talk with.

Bekri. No funny business
you devil of the night.

Tell the truth or I'll knock you out cold.

I swear,

the only funny business I know

is the Harmandali.

Your Bekri Agha always keeps his promise.

You know your Bekri Agha
always talks with his mouth.

You both just relax and stay relaxed.

Mustafa.

He's crazy.

Don't put on an act with me.
Don't put on an act.

Your Bekri Agha made a promise!

-You came with a guest?
-Who is this?

Most probably the agent
that the Ottomans hired to tail you.

You got shot in the stomach.

If you don't want to die in pain,
then talk.

How many of you are there?

Is there anyone else?

Talk. If you talk,
you will receive treatment.

-Come closer.
-Excuse me.

Come closer.

Take him away.

You guys?

Come here and let's see
just how ready you are.

Make a circle around me.

Now I'm convinced.

You will accomplish
this job adequately, 001.

Arrogance.

Excuse me?

To look down upon the job and
to underestimate the enemy is foolish.

Our job is not easy.

After seeing this little show,
I don't think anyone can defeat you...

...001.

Let's get on with it.

We have a country to bring down.

You recovered quickly.

This will reduce your pain.

You irritated me again
but you did well, Azize.

How much longer are you
going to keep me here?

Until Boris Efendi says otherwise.

What if Boris Efendi is found guilty
in court today?

We'll think about that when that happens.

We're not giving Lara her medication,
she should be feeling her legs.

Don't worry your head with these problems.

Did you do what I told you?

Lara, what are you doing my girl?

Did you bring me what I wanted?

I'm asking you if you brought
what I wanted!

Good God!

Peace be upon you, Aghas.

And peace be upon you.

Boris.

Zaharyas.

What are you doing, Abdullah Efendi?

Do you have a death wish?
Isn't what you've been through enough?

Cowards die everyday but life ends
only once, Hamdi Agha.

Anyway, what were we saying?

Oh, yes. Boris.

You were going to tell me
Boris' real name.

If you'll excuse me.

If you call me a coward
in front of my son again,

I will split you in half like a twig.

You're not afraid for yourself,

what you're afraid of is different.

You're afraid that something
will happen to Mecit.

Give them to me!

Let go!

My girl, you're still...

Still.

You still think I'm not ready. Right?

Nanny, I ruined my life for nothing.

Look.

Not at my tears.
Look at the condition that I'm in.

My most prized possession, my father.
I stood up against him for Mustafa.

I hurt him, I made him sad.

He handcuffed him and took him away
right before my eyes.

You know all the things he gave up for me.

Move out of my way!

Don't you dare.
Don't you dare try to stop me.

-I'm telling you I saw him.
-Is that so?

-Yes.
-He took the bag and ran.

Yes.

-Wasn't anyone else there?
-No one was there.

My brother.

My Mustafa.

Did you see how she looked at me,

when her father was taken away?

Don't worry, my daughter.
Everything will be fine.

Father!

Father!

Father!

The girl that I love hates me.

The heart wants what it wants.

Maybe this is for the best.

Why does the matter of the heart
always comes before the mind, Ali?

If only I knew my Mustafa. If only I knew.

We need to get ready.

Okay, brother.

Abdullah Efendi.

I learned my lesson.

You won't get a word out of me.

You think that as long as Boris Zaharyas
is around nothing will happen

to your son, right?

Hamdi Agha, I'm telling you the truth.

Why are you after Boris?

Why are you so persistent?

Boris Zaharyas' past and Mustafa's past

unite at some point.

Isn't that right?

GERMAN EMBASSY

Dear Ambassadors,
thank you all for coming.

The reason we have gathered here today is
to welcome

the new British Ambassador Mr. Rhodes,
and to listen to his ideas.

Please.

Honorable Ambassadors,
what do they say about the Ottomans?

A sick man.

Oddly enough, they expect us
to believe it.

What do you mean?

You see, history whispers to us

that every time the Turks fall
they somehow always rise again.

In their darkest days a leader comes out
and they form tightly around him.

They know how to rise when they fall.

And you are saying that history
keeps repeating itself.

Please, look a little more carefully.

The Ottomans' greatest luck
is the Padishah.

The almighty Emperor is wise,
clever and a strategist.

He also loves his country.

Sirs, don't you see a giant move
has been made regarding education.

The best military officers
are being raised in military schools.

The railroad connect
the Ottomans together.

They are establishing factories.

Our greatest leverage, that was the
Ottomans' debts, are slowly decreasing.

The Ottomans are almost strong enough
to establish their own bank.

From the Bosphorus, to the Balkan borders,
all the way to Libya.

We are talking about a giant Empire.

If this Empire rises again, no one
will be able to stand in its way.

We need to do something.
We need to do something, sirs.

I hope I'm not misunderstanding you,
dear Ambassador.

Sir Rhodes, the Padishah is the world's
most protected man. Do not ignore that.

Everyone has a weak point.

Today, Padishah is going to make
a big mistake.

The Intelligence Unit has informed us
that there will be a plot against you.

We are going to go out today.

Abdullah Efendi, you need
to leave this matter alone.

Boris Zaharyas is a prisoner.

A prisoner.

Iron bars or a prison
will not hold back Boris Zaharyas.

He can do anything with that devil in him.

Look for Sefika Hatun in Balat.

Who is that?

Sefika Hatun in Balat.

The British and their forwardness.

Sirs, I already assigned this operation
to the best sharks in the world.

If any of you at this table
disapproves of this plan

I can cancel it right away.

Good.

How can we derive personal benefit
from the chaos

that will happen to the Ottomans?

That is the topic we will discuss
at our next meeting.

My Sultan, I'm sure you know the best

but I don't think this is a good idea.

These past few days
you have been very worried, Pasha.

Since the intelligence unit
gave us information

that there might be a plot against you
I have been on pins and needles my Sultan.

Those who live in glass palaces
do not know what goes on outside, Pasha.

I will be as one with the people of State.

I will take care of their troubles
wherever needed.

As our Sultan wills.

Well, let's go then.

HIGH PORTE

What is going to happen at court today?

No one can slip away from Cadi Giyaseddin
very easily.

-Then Minister Efendi...
-Today brings many things, Riza.

Let me know of all the developments
that happen today.

Don't worry, Minister Efendi.

Let's see if the cricket
will be able to jump today, Boris.

The acoustics in here
are really lovely, Boris Efendi.

It's more lovely to see you
this joyous, Anita.

Actually, I'm not that joyful.

Especially because of you being here
like this, Boris Efendi.

Anita, I know your real feelings
towards me. Thank you.

Your court's today.

I came to wish luck.
-I don't think I will need luck.

Your situation worries us, Boris Efendi.

Istanbul's most powerful man

falling into this state

like an ordinary criminal.

I forgive you.

Excuse me?

I said,

I forgive you.

I know you came here to mock me.

But I am the reason for that.

Now, tell your father and that man Mayer
who holds your leash,

that I will establish the bank
with or without them.

And one more thing.

Don't be in damp places like this,

it's not good for your baby.

Okay brother,
enough already just sit down.

Are we safe here?

We are safe. We are safe don't worry.

God willing, nothing will happen to you
as long as we are here.

-Peace be upon you.
-And peace be upon you.

-What is this?
-Eggs.

What does it look like?

It's way too light.

How much money does this cost?

If you are going to buy it, just buy it.
If not, don't block the front of my stand.

Go on, go.

What is in this?

Broom germs, mud.

If you're going to buy it then buy it,
if not be on your way. Go on.

-It doesn't even smell like bread.
-Look here!

What is in this?

What a curious person
you turned out to be.

I'm telling you to leave.
Don't irritate me!

La hawle wala kuvvete!
Don't you have anything better...

Come in.

I brought what you asked for, chief.

They came.

They came, they came.

If I don't play around with something
I'm going to go crazy.

-Oh my aghas, my pashas.
-Hush!

Maksut you big fellow. Didn't I tell you?
I don't want to see you around here again.

Aren't you ashamed to be selling
this bread to people?

He is tricking us with this bread,
Officer Efendi.

That can't be.

No that can't be,
officers are at work here.

Don't you worry cousin, we got this.

Ceyrek, he did turn out
to be very curious.

Yes.

Aghas, can't we deal with this
by keeping it to ourselves?

How?

So that's what you're saying.
Yeah sure, sure. Right, Ceyrek?

-Yes, of course. Of course. Yes.
-Then please Sir, you first.

-No, no, you first.
-Please, your mind works better.

Please, go ahead.

Ceyrek, please.

-Then, if I may.
-You are allowed.

What was that?

You should be ashamed of yourself.
Trying to bribe an officer on duty.

-Aghas!
-Come on, come!

-We're going to the police station.
-Start walking!

These are the type of officers
I want to see. Well done.

I feel like I know you from somewhere
but I couldn't figure it out.

Well, we'll see.

Today, I don't want the smallest mistake.

Whatever the reason is,

you will not let go of the security.

Aren't they bankers?
They are the biggest thieves! Hang them!

Being here does not distress me.

What distresses me is hearing this
from a person like you.

At least he stopped pacing back and forth.

We'll be going to court in an hour.

You will not help Boris
with his stolen goods ever again.

What boy?

You think I am unaware of what goes on?

-It's not what you think, father.
-Shut up!

Son.

If you get mixed into all of this,

there is no way out.

If anything happens to you,
I wouldn't be able to bear it.

I love you too much
to let that happen, son.

Whatever you want, father.

Look at the poor girl.

Don't be afraid dear girl.
I'm just trying to help.

Let it be easy.

Ali! Stop, wait.

Let them go.

We have more important things to do.

I can see that Cadi Giyaseddin
gave you orders.

In the name of God.

In the name of God, the compassionate,
the merciful.

The accused Boris Zaharyas.

You plotted against the Ottoman Empire
to gain favors.

Mislead the Empire
by making fake agreements, and

starting a gang to commit murders.

These are the allegations
you are on trial for.

I am commencing with the oral hearing.

Boris Zaharyas.

You will remain protected,
with the right to defend yourself

in this court. Do you have
anything to say regarding the case?

Yes, I do.

I have nothing to do
with these allegations.

I am just a banker who has worked
for years with honor and integrity.

And till this day, every step I took,

I took for the good of our Empire,
just like I would take for myself.

But

right now I am in the middle
of a plot against me.

I would not want to step out of line
Cadi Efendi.

But sadly I see that a man like you,
who has been a man of justice,

has fallen for this plot as well.

In all of Istanbul
your name is known as justice.

That's why today I will prove
my innocence in front of everyone.

It is my obligation to prove I am innocent

so that you won't make the wrong verdict
and soil your reputation.

Don't worry Boris Efendi,

the court is not here to please a Cadi.

Under this roof, we talk not
about Cadı Giyaseddin Hatemi's

opinions, we talk only about justice.

Before we hear what the witnesses
have to say,

you must submit some
very important information to the court.

In the course of our investigations,
we found that your real name is different

than the name you have been giving us.

Boris Zaharyas,

what is your real name?

That devil's real name is...

Boris' real name is Emir.

Boris' real name is Emir.

Miss Sureyya.

The court has most probably started.

You cannot outsmart Boris this way.

Double up on the security.

I don't want even a bird
to fly around the house.

I don't understand?

The snake has jammed the door,
Ethem Efendi.

He will certainly make a move.

Understood Miss.

Are you asking who I am, Cadi Efendi?

My steward should have given you
all the paperwork on me.

The result of our investigations
at the civil registration office...

I couldn't find anything.

The page that Boris Zaharyas
should have been on

had been cut out...

We could not find any information on you.
But

the day you were arrested your steward
brought all the paperwork on you.

Then.

We wanted to hear it from you as well.

I am Boris Zaharyas.

My family is registered in
the record books of the Mugla District.

Mother look, it's big sister Lara.
Remember the one who brought us food.

Give it to me.

I'm sorry about that.

Lara.

You can say whatever you want
I'm coming with you.

Mother, is big sister Lara cross with us?

Come on my daughter, let's go.

We used to do these small visitations
with Cadi Giyaseddin

but he has court today.

Boris Zaharyas is on trial today, right?

That is correct, my Sultan.

And since Cadi Giyaseddin
is concerned about my safety

he sent you to protect me.

If our Padishah allows...

Go ahead.

My Sultan, after the attack today

the best thing to do is for you
to go back to the Palace.

I agree, my Sultan.

Do you think they recognized me
during the attack?

We're not sure.

Lo and behold, my bloodline
is going to war at the head of the army

and I can't even walk
openly around my Capital City.

Today I will see with my own eyes
how my people and the community live.

Also, I have an important duty to perform
and you will be protecting me.

-As our Padishah commands.
-As you command, my Sultan.

It is not proper for a young lady
to be in the court room

but we will make an exception
for our girl, Lara Zaharyas.

My daughter.

Don't worry father, I'm here.

Boris Zaharyas, continue.

My finger is turning black.

Did you do what I told you?

Mehmet? Mehmet?

Mehmet?

Mehmet?

He's dead.

Anita.

Don't worry about Jasmin.

She is only here so that
you won't try that silly stunt again.

Welcome.

Thank you for agreeing to see me.

What can I do for you?

Actually,
we can do great things for each other.

I'm listening.

Boris Zaharyas is finished.

Then you don't really know
Boris Zaharyas.

Cadi Efendi, I think
the foundation of the claims

are based on statements of three
or four scoundrels in Istanbul

that nurture enmity towards me.

That being the case
what I feel sad about is

that they're ruining the reputation
of a man who works with honor.

It shouldn't be that easy.

First and foremost, this situation

damages the reputation of the
precision scales of justice.

For a man to have dirty men

to do his dirty work is subordinate.

Boris Zaharyas,

the Ottoman justice whom you are talking
against has been part of the very

foundation of religion, the government,
the state, and the nation for centuries.

All witnesses against you will be heard
and then a decision will be made.

With justice and an absolute...

Who are you?

More precisely,

who sent you?

I am going to be frank with you, Sureyya.

We make governments and we dethrone kings.

We change the borders of countries.

Germany is just a bit late
getting into the colonization game.

Britain and France

are ruling Africa and Asia...

And you have your eye
on the Ottoman Empire.

Whoever controls the government bank,
controls the money.

Whoever controls the money,
controls the Ottomans.

Everyone is trying to take a piece
of this nation.

I know who Mayer is, Anita.

The world's biggest banker.

Then

you know how strong you will be
if you stand together with us.

Let's see how the trial ends today.

After that we can talk about this matter.

What do you say?

As you please.

Then, I will see you soon.

Good day.

When is this nation's luck
going to change?

What would a child be doing with a
huge sack like that, Grand Vizier Efendi?

Let us go and see.

As you wish, my Sultan.

May we come in?
We are from the foundation.

Come in sir.

Is this how you live?

What else can we do sir?

My husband is sick.

Thank God, Cadi Giyaseddin
takes care of us.

Our neighbors help us out as well.

Thank goodness.

You are guests from God,
our table is ready, please join us.

Thank you my sister.

Sorry, we troubled you.

Not at all.

Enjoy, my children.

-Thank you uncle.
-Thank you uncle.

Is this suitable for the Ottoman people,
Pasha?

We have three major enemies today.

Necessity, ignorance and complacency.

We have the art, skill and shared
will to go up against these enemies.

Physician will be sent to this house,
immediately.

As you wish.

Whatever my children are to me,
my nation's children are the same.

The children, will be enrolled
in the school of sultans.

And a donation will be made
from my own personal funds.

Your wish is my command, my Sultan.

-Don't forget it Pasha.
-As you wish, my Sultan.

Are we going to take action?

We will wait.

We couldn't use the chance we got earlier.

We're going to wait
for just the right time.

The verdict on falsifying paperwork
with regard to Boris Zaharyas' name

and the claim that it was
for his own benefit has been dismissed.

Silence!

The court is in recess.

Come out, time to go to the court.

-Greetings.
-Greetings to you too.

-Do you know anyone named Sefika Hatun?
-No I don't.

-Thank you. Good day.
-Thank you.

-Good day uncle.
-Thank you.

-Do you know anyone named Sefika Hatun?
-No.

Thank you.

-Greetings.
-Greetings.

I want to ask you something uncle.
Do you know anyone named Sefika Hatun?

Yes I do.

Just go straight from here
and it's right behind this building.

Right behind this building.

-Thank you very much.
-You're welcome.

May God bless you.

Whoever was invited to approach may do so.

The rest should stay back.

If anyone gets even a shade closer
he will regret it.

Wait here.

Yes, Sir.

Greetings.

-Greetings.
-Greetings.

Who is our guest?
The person who owns this home

does not have any thrones here,
he has commitment.

Do you commit to entering upon this path,
and not to turn away from this path,

to be one with this path,
to be the light on this path?

I do so commit.

And I have received
and approved the commitment.

-Thank you.
-Then please take a seat on our throne.

Cadi Efendi, it seems as though one by one

these unsupported claims against me
are being proven baseless.

Doesn't this show how weak
these schemes against me are?

But I still believe
justice will triumph in the end.

When we put someone on trial,

we do it by taking refuge in our Holy God
and in the Fair One's shadow,

Boris Zaharyas.

If you really are innocent,

there is only one way to prove it,
which is this way.

Now, answer my question
with just one answer.

Is your real name Emir?

Why do you think the others will burn?

This is not the matter of the Earth,
that a dog watcher like me could explain.

This is a matter of the heavens.

You should explain this Tayyar Father.

You have been in love with the heavens
since eternity.

The Precious One

during his ascension he reached
far up from the sevenfold of the skies.

During this time

Cebrail Alayhi's-Selam was escorting him.

He said he could not go any further.

If he did he would burn.

Our Prophet, was Habib Ullah.
He was the beloved of God.

That is why Habib Ullah
continued with him on his journey.

We are the people
sent to grace The Precious One.

God made everything possible for us.

May the Caliphate bring us to the truth.

-Amen.
-So that this rank

is higher than the one
the world has placed on your shoulders.

What is going on, sons?

Let's just say it's the smell of trouble.

Get ready. As soon as the Padishah
comes out, we are going to attack.

Emir.

Forgive me my astonishment,
but I hadn't heard this name for years

Cadi Efendi.

As you know, it is customary to give
a Turkish name to non-Muslim children.

My family deemed me worthy of this name.

Well, have you ever been in Bosnia?

Have you ever been in contact
with a man named Mostarian Vedat?

In all of my life I have never been
to Bosnia.

I have also never heard of the name
Mostarian Vedat.

Alright.

Alright then,
do you know anyone named Bala Hatun?

Boris Efendi?

No.

No.

I believe you, Bekri.

If you give me what I want,

then I'll give you the rest of your life.

Tell us whatever is in your heart.

This moment,

is the moment to let what is inside out.

I feel the burden of the Ottoman Nation
on my back.

I feel like I am being crushed
under this burden. What's worse is

that I fear I do not deserve to
carry this burden.

You unwary man!

This is your duty.

Would soil be scared of growing seeds?

Would the sky be scared of pouring rain?
Would fire be scared of burning?

Would water be scared of cleaning?

Since you have been given this burden,
you have to carry it.

You are a Son of Adam.

You are carrying a burden that
even the mountains cannot carry.

Are you scared of carrying
the burden of a couple of men?

God's faithful khalifa,
can be man's khalifa

and also man's Padishah.

Thank you.

Do not be grieved.

Pasha, Ali and I should
take a look around.

Is this a dangerous situation?

This much silence bodes no good in Galata.

Have the bodyguards keep their eyes open.

Be careful.

If you'll excuse us.

Keep your eyes open.

In the statement you gave the officer
at the police station,

you claimed there are people
plotting against you,

because you are establishing
the government bank.

Yes, that is correct, Cadi Efendi.

These forces did everything

in their power to prevent men from
establishing this bank.

They even tried to attack me
and take my life and you know this.

Yet, all competitors either died
or committed suicide.

After all your competitors were gone
you were the last man left standing.

Cadi Efendi, my love for serving
the Ottoman Empire is so great

that I wouldn't even hesitate
to give my life for it.

I have heard the lion in his den
just like the ones that died.

For once I just wish we were wrong.

You know, I honestly wish I had died.

Wherever Adam's sons are,

as long as God grants them a respite

there will be lots of devils
who will spread out in your city.

You are going to fight against evil.

As long as you make the effort,

God will take care of the rest.

What's going on?

It is forbidden for the eye that is evil.

It's time to vanish.

-How many people did you count?
-Seven. You?

Five.

What's going on?

We're going to be attacked.

Help us.

Come on, quickly.

My Pasha, stay in a safe spot.

No man of woman born could keep me
from defending my Padishah.

I was fighting at the seventh army line
before any of you were born.

You will wait here.

A blessing came down for everyone today
from The All Knowing God.

For them Hegira,

for you to wait at the cave,
for me to fight.

Be prepared, there are 14 people.

Hasan Father's dogs can count
better than you.

What can I do?

Boris Zaharyas, please sit.

Uncuff him.

Mighty Cadi Efendi, you asked for me,
so I came.

Go ahead, I am listening.

Bekri,

when you gave your statement
at the police station,

you said you would identify
at the trial the person

who asked you to do something wrong.

Is that person here,
is he in this court room?

What will happen if I give your name?

I will make you suffer from so much pain
that you will beg to die.

Yes.

Yes Cadi Efendi that person is here.

He is in this court.

What did you do for the person
who abetted you?

I stole, I beat, I kidnapped...

...when the occasion arose, I killed.

I did things that are not even written
in a bandit's book.

But I have no brain. No brain.

When I was doing all this work...

...that devil tried to have me killed.

This is the end of the line, Bekri.

Stop!

You mutt!

My Mustafa,
what was Cadi Efendi's grandfather's name?

Cadi Burhanettin.

Well, he had a poem that Giyaseddin Father
used to recite to us, remember?

Wait a minute, I'm trying to remember.

"Real men are those
who die fighting for the truth."

-Are you ready?
-I'm ready my Mustafa.

When I was trying to eat up Istanbul...

...these men had already finished it...

...and were worried about eating me.

This city is tougher than
the toughest mountains, wilder than...

...the wildest forests. Cadi Efendi,
it's full of jackals...

...that you can't even find there.

All these saprophytes are here...

...right in the center of Istanbul.

Today,
Padishah is going to make a big mistake.

I already assigned this operation
to the best sharks in the world.

All right, I guess it's up to me.

This statement is enough.
Let's get to the point, Bekri.

Who is the person
who abetted all this dirty work?

Get him!

Mustafa!

Run!

The person who abetted all this...

...is the Agha.
In other words, Bekri Agha.

Bekri Agha is no one's man.

Bekri, in the statement you gave
at the police station...

...you said that the person
who abetted you was Boris Zaharyas.

I kidnapped this owl browed...

...high flown crazy man's daughter
and shot her.

There's brains and logic.

I don't have any...

...but at least you do.
Would he hire me to do such a job?

You!

Stop there.

Who is that lady beside you?

A mutt can't be without scars,
as the brave can't be without wounds.

Because of you my name is going to be
Bandager Hasan Father.

It just penetrated the skin.
It's nothing. Just rest.

The people of the Palace
are like this, my Mustafa.

Sometimes they can drag you to death,
sometimes they can save you from it.

One can't question their wisdom.

God forgive me.

Help me.

-My Sultan.
-My Sultan.

Get well soon.

You saved my life today, young ones.

The rope around your neck
is not as tight anymore. Don't worry.

When the one you call brother
is by your side, you will never be cold.

Your soul will never be cold,
Your garden never cast seeds of strife.

You are lucky. You are very lucky, lads.

May peace be with you.

Thank you, my brave sons.
Our nation will be proud of you.

We've had enough excitement for one day.

Don't mention it, my Pasha.

May peace be with you.

If you allow, I would like to answer
this question Cadi Efendi, your Highness.

That blessed woman is my mother.

She came all the way here
to see her son in court.

Welcome, mother.

Give your blessing. I am very sorry
I couldn't kiss your hand.

All right.

We are people who have given their life
to Khalifa Omer Al Faruq's justice...

...and to deliver his justice
for eternity.

The Commander of the Believers, His Highness Omer,
May Allah be pleased with Him...

...has said that government shall be just.

The Cadis of the Ottoman Empire
have vowed to stay...

...on this judicial course.

When we pass judgment,
we do it by using real evidence...

...and by taking refuge in the Fair One,
instead of our own opinions.

In the name of God, the compassionate,
the merciful.

The verdict.

Because of insufficient evidence
for the allegations...

...regarding these crimes,
Boris Zaharyas is innocent.

Miss Sureyya, Boris was not found guilty.

How was that devil
able to succeed with such a thing?

Did you think that Cadi Giyaseddin
would count on...

...two criminal's statements
to convict Boris Zaharyas?

Then why? Why was he brought in, then?

Cadi Giyaseddin,
put fear into Boris Zaharyas' heart.

He showed him that he wasn't untouchable.

When fear gets into one's heart,
it's never the same again.

I understand Miss Sureyya.

And The Padishah will announce
the decision regarding the bank situation.

He summons us.

Today has ended, Ethem Efendi.

Tomorrow
is going to be an even bigger day.

I am glad you've recovered.

You have managed
to get out of it without any casualties.

We have casualties
we just haven't gone bankrupt, Esat Pasha.

On the other hand, there are others today
that will pay for what they did.

Aren't they bankers?
They are the biggest thieves. Hang them.

Tomorrow the Padishah summons us
before him.

He will announce the decision
regarding the bank situation.

Of course,
he waited until the trail was over.

Esat Pasha, do you know what
one of the biggest mistakes we've made is?

Underestimating the Padishah.

He is one of the smartest men
the Ottoman have seen.

On the other hand,
today Cadi Giyaseddin showed me...

...that being smart doesn't bring success.

But tomorrow...

...will be a different day.

We are the children of darkness.
Everyone needs to watch their step.

No one can keep Bekri Agha in the dungeon.

No one can. No one can.

Be quiet.

Boris Efendi got really lucky today.

Nothing can happen to him.
Don't you worry about it.

You must be wondering how I did that.

You need to aim right towards the middle.

Tell Boris Efendi
that he isn't really that lucky.

The mighty Weasel Cemil, does it suit
a man like you to eat bird food?

BRITISH EMBASSY

It has not been seen for you to not finish
a task that has been given to you.

How did this happen?

I have never seen
men like the Padishah has.

What did you say their names were?

Filinta Mustafa and Blade Ali.

We need to be careful with them.
I am sorry to say...

...that I cannot stay in Istanbul
right now. I'm going back to Britain.

But I will come back as soon as I can
to take care of my unfinished business.

It is always our pleasure to host you 001.

This does not end here.

Come my Mustafa, come.

I hope you feel better. How are you?

I'm good, good.

What is it?

Sit down My Mustafa.

Do you know a woman named Sefika Hatun?

No. Who is she?

Her actual name is Bala Hatun.

She came to Istanbul
with a baby in her arms 27 years ago.

From Mostar in Bosnia.

My Mustafa, I think the child
Bala Hatun brought to Istanbul...

...was you.

Where is this Bala Hatun?

That's a mystery.
She has vanished like a breeze.

She's hiding because she is afraid
of this man that's after her.

Abdullah...

...if we find Bala Hatun
then we can shine a light on my past.

Is this it, Mustafa?

This is it.

Greetings.

Are you Bala Hatun?
