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
We're entities
who want to reach their goals...
...and we are worthless for our goal.
Do you accept that, Boris Zaharyas?
I've always accepted this
and I accept it now, Supreme Efendi.
Good.
We gave you the name Boris Zaharyas.
We supported you.
We ensured
that you'd become who you are now.
What we wanted from you
was to set up the Ottoman bank.
We're a river
that flowed underground for centuries...
...Boris Zaharyas.
We never revealed ourselves
with any of our moves and we won't.
But you, Boris...
You disregarded our basic principle.
You revealed us at the time the river
has almost made it to the sea.
You were imprudent.
You're right.
I accept that.
I was imprudent.
Accepting that
doesn't make us forgive your mistakes.
You went after a little Field Marshal type
called Mustafa...
...and you almost revealed yourself.
What happens if Bala Hatun,
who came here today...
...makes what she knows about you public?
Here it is. This is your smell.
That's you.
My Mustafa.
My Mustafa.
I had to leave you
in front of the Kulliye.
Satan has always been after us.
We couldn't both run away.
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Tell me for God's sake.
Who are you?
You'll find out the truth now, Mustafa.
Bala Hatun can't make anything public.
Bala Hatun isn't a threat for us,
Supreme Efendi.
Bala Hatun.
Because Bala Hatun should be dead now,
Supreme Efendi.
-Bala Hatun!
-Don't you be sorry.
I was dying anyway.
I saw you for one last time...
...so I won't die in disappointment.
Calm down.
Breathe.
I'll save you.
Don't worry.
Soon...
...you'll find out...
...who you are.
Gentlemen...
yes...
I really am not an important person.
But, if you say so, I can give you
the Ottomans just like that money.
Just like you stated, Supreme Efendi...
we've never been closer to our goal.
-The choice is yours.
-You're very arrogant, Boris Efendi.
We'll vote on your arrogance now.
Accept.
Reject.
Accept.
Reject.
Accept.
Reject
Three rejects, three accepts.
Your fate is at my fingertip,
Boris Zaharyas.
Are you ready for this?
Go away now, Boris Zaharyas.
Question yourself.
Have a look at your worthless life...
...and await our orders.
"To God we belong and
to him is our return."
God rest her soul.
She was a brave woman.
The deceased one obtained her goal
before she died.
Her death wasn't for nothing.
Bala Hatun left this document in my house.
So that it doesn't fall into
the wrong hands.
What's this paper, Master?
This is...
...your birth certificate.
We know what it is now.
The information you gave was appreciated.
Boris Efendi will revive you.
Did you think that I'm scared of death?
But your son...
Look at the bright side, Hamdi Agha.
The poor woman was really sick anyway.
She passed away
before she suffered too much.
Pardon us.
Now...
...get on that street
and run away without looking back.
No way.
Do what I'm telling you.
Run, now! Run!
Run, follow her.
What?
What do you want?
I'll pay you two times what they paid.
I asked you what you want.
Your life!
Cavalry Ahmet,
you shouldn't have come to Istanbul.
There is no doubt. This document is real.
According to this document...
...you were born in Sarajevo.
You're the son of Osman Efendi
and Hafize Hatun.
Bala Hatun.
She brought me to Istanbul first
and then she vanished.
She came to my help
when I needed her the most.
She was really a saintly woman.
First, she saved your life...
...then she sacrificed herself
so you can know your real identity.
We know who you are, son.
Your past will set light on our present.
Master...
...how did they know that Hamdi Efendi
would go there at that time of night.
One moment.
I remember...
...that woman.
What do you remember, son?
Bala Hatun.
I know Bala Hatun.
She's somewhere here. I'm sure.
God damn it.
They'll skin us if we can't find the girl.
I know. We'll find her.
What happened to her father?
-I took care of him.
Aghas...
...what are you doing here?
It's a rascal. He stole my gold sack.
Yeah? So?
Yes, that's the case.
We were looking for him.
Shut it!
The kid got away and hid here...
Are you trying to fool a baby?
You tactless people!
It's forbidden
to go inside customs territory...
...at this time of night.
-But...
-Shut up!
Get lost...
...before I cause an accident.
Get back to your duties.
You keep on making me guess, my Mustafa.
Just tell me already, brother.
When we were little...
...once in a while she used to come
to the Kulliye.
What do you mean?
Now I understand.
What do you understand, my brother?
She didn't come near me
so she could protect me.
Don't you remember her
coming to the Kulliye?
No.
When we were at the Kulliye...
...once in a while she would show up
and she would watch over me.
-I don't want it.
-Why, don't you like it?
No, I do.
If you had one for Ali too
then it would be okay.
-Who's that?
-My brother.
So Ali is your brother.
Oh good hearted,
handsome child of mine.
Look, now it's two apples.
Okay.
Now I remember.
We are going to perform the last mission
for Bala Hatun adequately, my son.
Now we have two issues.
First, to find the ones
who killed Bala Hatun.
We are going to find them.
Then, we are going to call them
to account.
Yes, and the second one is the genealogy
of this birth certificate.
Mustafa's past.
Abdullah, you are going to
investigate this issue.
Sir, don't you feel suspicious
that they killed her
at that time of night
in that specific place?
The feeling in my gut says that
you both suspect the same person as I do.
As you ordered,
Bala Hatun has passed away.
You see, however much money you earn
it is never enough to buy your past.
-The other job?
-That has been taken care of as well.
Good. We have disposed of
a very important matter for us.
But I feel like a very heavy storm
is coming our way, Weasel.
We have to be very careful.
Tell us Alexander, we are listening.
My Master, Boris is very skilled.
If we can file his arrogance and greed
he can be very useful to us.
I am sure of it.
Boris will become the head of the bank.
Save him from the hands of the British.
As you command.
However you want, our Supreme Master.
The Padishah is very smart
and he increases Cadi Giyaseddin's power.
The real danger is Cadi Giyaseddin
getting more powerful.
We have a close watch on him,
Supreme Master.
Good.
What in God's name?
Honestly my Mustafa, every time
I see someone dressed swag like this
the first thing that pops into my head
is the British.
Did you find anything on him?
Nothing, Chief. He was robbed.
We will see if he was robbed
or it was just posed that way.
I hope God doesn't get offended
but with all the issues
we have to deal with now, we have
a shower of dead bodies as well.
Looking at the way he is dressed,
his beard, he seems like a British man.
And he has an amulet on his neck.
There are wheels within wheels here, Ali.
Why wouldn't there be, of course there is.
Suspicion is all around us. All around us.
Father!
Father!
Father!
Leave.
It's okay. I'm here.
Did you have another nightmare?
That woman was killing you.
It's okay. It's over. See, I'm here.
I'm across from you, I'm next to you.
See, I'm steady as a rock. It's okay.
It's over my beautiful daughter.
Come on, lie back down.
Well done my daughter.
Well done my Sultan.
Don't worry, I'm right here, okay?
I'm going to wait for you
at the foot of your bed.
My beautiful daughter.
It's over, my child.
A woman that I don't even know
gave her life for me.
She always protected me from afar.
With this woman my past has been put
into the soil, by my own hands.
This woman did not die for nothing,
Mustafa.
She actually gave your life back to you,
my brother.
My Ali states the truth, son.
The part that we will play in this
will shed a light on the issue.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
There are spies in the Palace
roaming freely to try to take my life
the life of the Empire's Padishah's
and his daughter's as well.
And you just stand there pensively.
Esat Pasha, what is the status
of the investigation?
Who is this snake of a woman
we have taken in?
My Sultan, we will find the ones
who planned this as soon as...
Esat Pasha, what do you mean by soon?
We have no time.
You either shed a light on this matter
or you will be dismissed from your status.
As you wish my Sultan.
Enter.
Esat Pasha, you can go back
to your duties.
Our enemy is daring and very insolent.
How dare she come into my daughter's room
and try to take my life?
My child Neslihan Sultan has not been
able to sleep since that day.
The roots of this case are very deep,
Cadi Giyaseddin.
Do whatever you have to do
to shed light on this case.
As our Padishah commands.
We will return their demeanor
with retorsion.
BRITISH EMBASSY
What is it?
Yes?
-Ambassador Efendi.
-Come on talk, man.
The last assassination attempt that was
carried out against the Padishah.
Yes.
The two back to back failures
have made the queen really angry.
She sent this telegram.
We still haven't played our last game.
In the end, the queen
will be pleased with us.
Neslihan Sultan.
Please come in.
My Sultan.
There are some people
I want to introduce to you.
This blessed person is my Hodja,
Cadi Giyaseddin.
Filinta Mustafa and Blade Ali.
You. I know you.
You saved my Shah Father's life.
Nothing's going to happen
to my father, right?
My Sultan...
...we will protect your father
even if we have to give our own lives.
Don't worry.
This critical incident
will never happen again.
As long as you stay strong.
There you go.
Smiling suits you so much, our Sultan.
Every move Boris makes,
we are left bearing the brunt of it.
Of course cleaning up his mess
is up to us, again.
Well, what are we going to do
Minister Efendi?
If we figure out the bank issue,
he will be at the end of that rope.
And if we don't, then they will
dismiss me from being a minister.
I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.
God damn it!
This time we are backed into a corner.
Enter.
What is it?
The British Ambassador, Mr. Rhodes
is here to see you, sir.
It's been a long time.
I have been dealing with my past
a lot these days.
I have been lonely, too.
I was an inch away from tumbling down.
But do you know what kept me going?
Hate.
Everyone did harm to the child...
...that was waiting for love in the past.
But because of that...
...I realized there was no room
for what ifs in this world.
Others planted the seeds of hate
in me but...
...you made them grow.
You.
The only woman...
...I ever loved.
You.
The woman who gave me the joy of living.
You.
The woman who betrayed me.
Your place is by my side.
But you didn't love me, either.
If only you did.
Ambassador Rhodes, there must be a reason
for your instantaneous arrival.
There is no feasible reason
but I am sure we will meet
at a feasible outcome.
Leave us alone.
As you command, Minister Efendi.
How can I be of service, Mr. Rhodes?
Papers, paperwork.
Some aren't worth anything.
Some bear vital importance.
What are you trying to say?
What I am trying to say Esat Pasha
is that after this
your reigns are in my hands.
I understood this very well.
I couldn't bury my pain with you.
And this pain...
...this wound that bleeds...
...makes me more unmerciful.
Bring down her grave.
Burn her bones.
I don't want anything left of her.
What are those, Mr. Rhodes?
These are the main documents
regarding the briberies you have made.
Briberies! What are you saying, Efendi?
Calm down, Esat Pasha.
We know that Boris Zaharyas
used these documents to threaten you.
Esat Pasha, these are the documents
from when you were illegally buying
and selling ships in the navy.
God forbid if these documents
get in the hands of the Padishah...
-But these documents...
-We always had the main copies.
What do you want from me?
To shake the friendly hand
that the British extends to you.
Esat Pasha, we want the assassination
attempt against the Padishah
to be put on Boris Zaharyas.
You are the only person who can help us
regarding this subject.
And when this happens
I will give these documents to you
with my own hands.
Okay. What am I going to do?
The plan is simple, Esat Pasha.
This job is a little too complicated.
The investigations we have done
now concern the countries as well.
Well, who put Emine Hatun in the Palace?
Cadi Efendi...
...I hope you don't think
I have a relationship with this woman.
-Where do you know her from?
-Know her?
Where did you get that idea from?
The first and last time I saw her
was at the police station.
She especially wanted for you
to see me here with her.
We have lots of enemies.
They tried to finish off
the Padishah and me.
As you see, I'm just
one of the victims here.
In my opinion, it was Boris
who put her in the Palace.
I don't think he is behind
the assassination.
But it's a fact that someone is.
Every issue is a pile of soil.
What gives it a chance
is the seed that grows
from the middle of it.
Soil is the beauty of the seed
that makes it able to fold.
If you want to bring someone down,
first you have to bring down the place
he leans his back on. Do you understand?
My Sultan, today is
the British Ambassador's visitation day.
He is going to want the ports
to be a priority.
He will also ask you to lift
the taxes from the imported goods
that come from Britain.
As you can see Grand Vizier Efendi
this is why it is important
to establish the bank.
Ever since they established factories
and started mass production
they make goods with cheap parts.
And this affects the sales
of our crafts and crafters.
They can't resist with these prices.
On the other hand, our people
want cheap goods.
And since we keep taxes high
to protect our crafts and crafters...
...we can't grant our people's wishes.
The only solution is to develop
domestic industry.
And yet again this is why
it is important to establish
this bank, Grand Vizier Efendi.
God willing, the industry we establish
will be with the power of our own bank.
You are right, my Sultan.
If my Sultan forgives me.
I believe these devils are
behind these assassinations
that have been schemed...
It is part of being the man of a nation.
Now, let's make an evaluation
of the situation
and see how we are going to move forth.
With God's help we were able to
prevent the two assassinations
that were made against the Padishah.
The man we caught
for the first assassination was
Mohin Sanazmen.
He was a British citizen.
We think that the other jackals
were hired by the British
but we don't have any proof of it.
The assassin who is the slapper died.
The other is unknown.
We know that Emine Hatun
was put into the Palace six months ago.
Who put her there is unknown as well.
The woman and her family
that raised Neslihan Sultan
suddenly died in a fire.
And she was immediately replaced
with this woman.
Who wrote the letter of recommendation?
Mehmet Sakir Efendi,
from the Shaykh Al-Islam.
But unfortunately Mehmet Sakir Efendi
died from a heart attack
three months ago.
What makes this incident mysterious
is the part were Emine Hatun stabbed
the British man so openly
in the middle of the street.
And coming to the police station
and showing herself to Boris Zaharyas.
The Hatun knowingly and openly
went to Boris Zaharyas.
She looked like she was saying,
I'm going to go kill your Padishah
then disappear and you are going to
blame Boris for it.
Boris Zaharyas is a villain,
might even be the devil
but organizing an assassination
against the Padishah
is too big of a deal for him.
So, it seems as though
we don't really have anything.
There is, my Ali. There is.
We have two things. First,
to shed a light on the assassination
attempt against our Padishah.
Second, to figure out
who killed Bala Hatun.
We checked Emine Hatun's room
in the Palace. We couldn't find anything.
We checked the room that she was
hiding in as well. It was cleaned.
The question is...
...why did Emine Hatun
kill that British man?
And on the other hand, the man
that was killed last night
looked like a British man.
Who killed him and why?
Okay but, what does that have to do
with this subject?
My gut feeling, Mustafa.
You know, since I left and came back,
my feelings got stronger.
Okay.
-Why did you come in?
-Good God.
We're sorry Cadi Efendi.
We couldn't hold her back.
-What gives?
-Are you Cadi Giyaseddin?
Yes my dear girl, how can I help you?
Lara.
Azize.
Sadness doesn't suit you.
What are you doing here?
What is this state of yours, on the piano?
Come on, let's go outside for a bit.
Thank you,
but I really don't feel like it.
I'm not accepting any buts.
We are going to go upstairs immediately
and you are going to put on a nice dress.
We are going out.
Okay? Come on.
Are you ready?
Yes.
He is my father.
I'm sorry for your loss, sister.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Even though my father was scared
he had said we needed to
take care of our business in Istanbul,
so we can go back to London.
So we set off on our way.
He came here even though he knew
he was going to die.
He knowingly took the risk of dying.
Take it. Kill the ones who
spilled my father's blood.
Take it please.
Look here, little girl.
Don't worry, we will find
your father's killer.
We will do this because
justice commands us.
Now put the sack back in your pocket.
We understand you are in a lot of pain.
But I don't want to see that again.
Okay, my sister?
Father.
I think you should try something else.
Lara.
My mother.
Seeing her fills me with despair.
That's why I hid it here.
She looks a lot like you.
Well, that's enough with all that.
Come on, put your dress on.
I'll be waiting at the door.
May God rest his soul, my girl.
May God forgive the deceased man's sins.
I know you are in pain but...
...you had said you knew
your father was going to get killed.
Who was your father?
Cavalry Ahmet. He was a captain.
I opened my eyes in London.
I only know from what my father told me.
He had a small ship.
We moved from Istanbul to London.
My dad missed Istanbul a lot.
Once in a while he would cry.
But he didn't step foot in Istanbul
for 14 years.
Why?
He was scared.
What was he scared of?
He said there is a devil.
There is a devil in Istanbul.
Who was it? Did he ever mention his name?
Are you going to take my father's revenge?
My dear girl...
...even if you were wronged
a thousand times
don't be cruel not even once.
Even if they are cruel, we need to
treat our enemies with justice.
I thought we were going to get some air.
You never know what can happen outside.
Yet, I am dominant over the darkness here.
I don't understand.
Here you go.
I've been through hard days.
I couldn't see anyone but my father
and my nanny Gulbahar.
I am better now.
Your nanny Gulbahar?
She was with me since I was a small child.
-She was like my mother.
-I can imagine.
Well, isn't it weird that
she just left you like this
and went to her relatives?
I didn't understand it either.
She would never do such a thing.
For a moment I thought she quit.
But my father would never allow that.
Why are you like this, Lara...
...Zaharyas?
Everything is for mankind, Azize.
That's to say that
I needed to go through this.
Do you want me to tell you
why you are like this?
Fate.
May God help us all, Lara.
How old are you, my dear girl?
14.
-Do you have a place to go?
-No.
I understand.
Zeyrek, Ceyrek. Come here.
Yes, Cadi Efendi.
We are going to have our girl Gonca
stay here at the Police Station
as a guest for a while. Take care of her.
You can trust us, my Chief.
My dear girl, the officer Efendis
is going to take care of you
until we get back. Okay?
Go on then.
After you, sister.
Look here.
Don't take your eyes off of her.
-As you wish, Cadi Efendi.
-As you wish, Cadi Efendi.
A man that was scared to come to Istanbul
for 14 years, comes to Istanbul.
He was probably killed by the man
he was scared of.
Sir, that person definitely has to be
Boris Zaharyas. Definitely.
If it was Boris, then what brought
Cavalry Ahmet to Istanbul?
Gonca said it.
The British either told him
to go do their dirty work
or we will deport you.
So the British sent Cavalry Ahmet
to take care of Boris Zaharyas.
Is that right?
Sir, is this man this important?
When the subject is regarding the bank,
it is important.
Sons
go and find the ins and outs
of this matter.
-Yes, sir.
-May it be easy.
What do you want?
Two ships came from Athens.
We need to load them.
Then load them.
You aren't going to start that again,
are you father?
It's none of your business, boy!
I don't answer to you.
You barely just quit this crap.
Don't forget the hard times
we went through, father.
You, the monumental Head Porter,
Hamdi Agha.
What is this burden that crushes you?
Why do you take on the burden
of all of Istanbul to protect me, father?
Protect?
What, you think I don't know?
-What do you know?
-Boris.
He makes you do everything
he wants with his threats.
Every time that mutt comes here...
...you get disarrayed.
Let me help you.
Let me take the responsibilities
that are the size of a mountain from you.
Mecit!
Son.
You...
...will stay clean. Do you understand?
Istanbul...
This Port...
It is the home of snakes.
The four corners are scorpions.
You can't know these things, son.
You can't handle them.
I'm going to save you
from your burden, father.
Do you understand?
I'm going to save you.
Nuri, don't offset me.
Don't forget what I said.
Don't repeat yourself 100 times, Bekri.
Do I look stupid to you?
If you saw what I saw.
Don't mouth off at me, Nuri!
I'll make an example of you
in the center of Galata...
...I'll make you neigh like a horse.
Sorry, but first you might want to clean
the dirt off yourself.
A horse doesn't neigh
according to its step
it neighs according to the person.
Do you understand, Bekri?
Nicely put, Nuri. Nicely put.
Have a nice day, Officer Efendis.
Go on, mother.
Go inside. Goodbye.
May God grant you a clear mind, my child.
-Let him in.
-As you wish, my Sultan.
Assistant!
Your Majesty.
Ambassador Rhodes.
I am grateful that you agreed to see me.
What will you present to us, Mr. Rhodes?
First of all I would like to say this
to you, your Majesty:
The British have always seen
the Ottoman Empire as their best ally.
We wouldn't want such a valuable ally
like yourself to be miserable
in the Balkan mountains
or in the heat of the Arabian desert.
It would be good for both sides
if you put these types
of intelligence activities aside.
Activities? Such a thing...
We know you have a hand in
the Aleppo rebellion.
On the other hand, we also know
who gave the ammunition to the gangs
that organized the assassination
of our Macedonia Governor.
You think we are the sick men of Europe,
blind and deaf.
But you are wrong.
This state is ancient.
Yes, this nation is as old as its history.
But you are so small that you imagine
and think that you can destroy us.
Let me give you an example from history.
The foreign ambassadors
used to be dragged while kneeling
to appear before my ancestors.
Did you know that?
A lot has changed under the firmament.
These principles belong to the past.
But one principle has not changed.
You cannot just sit,
you cannot even breathe
under this roof without the permission
from the all mighty Padishah.
Now tell me Ambassador Rhodes.
Why did Emine Hatun,
the one who tried to take my life
kill one of your men
that worked at the Embassy?
My Sultan, we think that the man
that worked at our Embassy
had detected that Emine Hatun
was a German spy.
He was sent to follow her.
Since you were
so interested in helping us,
why didn't you report it to us?
We still didn't have
enough evidence on our hands.
James was killed by that cursed woman
the day he found the evidence.
Look at me, Ambassador.
If I learn you have any part in this,
I'll make you pay for it.
The council has ended. You may leave.
-But...
-The meeting is over. You may leave.
They even tried to take
the Padishah's life.
Everyone is trying to undertake
this nation.
I never thought they would have
the courage to do that, madam.
Being daring is part of greed's nature.
Hard times are ahead of us, Ethem Efendi.
As long as you lead us,
we can get through all the hardships.
This is the person
you will be dealing with.
I expect a perfect outcome from you.
Don't worry.
There is no evil that the British
would not do for their self-interest.
This time the enemy is strong.
Our job is not easy.
Of course, our hand isn't weak either.
You pompous Zaharyas,
look at the state you've put me in.
I've turned into those women
who wait for their husbands.
If the aghas and pashas leave Istanbul
jackals like Nuri will take over.
Little by little, all of this
will be accounted for.
Where are you, lad?
Jackal, Nuri, angel.
Whatever the heck you are, come on.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake brother please,
for God's sake.
I haven't eaten in days.
Please help me brother.
-Don't you have any relatives?
-No, sir.
For years, I have been trying
to take care of myself.
-Where do you stay and sleep?
-I have an aba which I can put anywhere
and I can sleep anywhere.
Here today, tomorrow somewhere else.
Be around here tomorrow.
Don't be anywhere else.
We might have something for you to do.
-Your name?
-Nuri.
My name is Nuri.
You understood me, right Nuri brother?
My father isn't available right now.
How did you know we were looking for him?
Why else would you come here?
I said my father isn't available.
Every time you guys come here,
he feels burnt out.
It's your father's fault, Mecit.
If he lets go of all that he keeps
bottled up
he'll feel better and so will we.
Now stop being a shadow and move away.
Don't make me deal with you too.
Are you for real, Mecit?
Is this how we're going to close
the port's notebook for casualties?
If I have to, I will burn this port down
for my father.
My Mustafa...
...which side do you want to take?
Well, there are less people
on the right side.
Don't count them, we already
tried that before. You can't count.
Now move out of our way.
Nuri.
Nuri.
What's wrong, man?
Are you scared?
Why did you become like this, Nuri?
If I didn't use you as a pawn...
...I would skin you...
...and turn you into shoes for my feet.
Pray that
they don't find your body
along the side of the river
before our job is done.
Why are you staring stupidly at my face?
Talk, son! What did you do?
-Boris Zaharyas.
-Yes.
Did you kill him?
No.
Did you mutilate him?
Thank you.
Enjoy, may it be sweet and tasty.
Clear away.
Mecit.
Son, whatever you do
do not ever lift a hand
against your officers.
That is not how it is in our book.
-Father...
-I know what you want to do.
And you say what you want to say already,
Field Marshall Aghas.
Cavalry Ahmet?
It must have been about 15 years
since I last saw him.
That's about right.
He was killed in Galata, yesterday.
Boris!
Do you realize what you are saying,
Esat Pasha?
So you are telling me that the person
who let Emine Hatun into the Palace...
...and tried to have me assassinated
is Boris Zaharyas. Is that right?
That is what our preliminary investigation
show us, my Sultan.
Do you have any evidence?
Our Efendi, we had already figured out
that Emine Hatun's letter
of recommendation was fake.
The person who wrote the letter
is a witness and states that
Boris Zaharyas organized it.
-What else?
-My Sultan, on the other hand
we have officers that saw Emine Hatun
talk to Boris Zaharyas
at the police station
the day she planned the assassination.
Esat Pasha, every enmity
should have a reason behind it.
Why do you think he would want
to have me killed after the permission
I gave to him to establish our bank?
My Padishah, I think that
Boris Zaharyas is working
for the German Intelligence.
And he got the order from them.
What do you think, Pasha?
My Sultan, I still think the situation
is still blurry.
We need to look at how real
the witness statements are.
My Sultan, we have more evidence.
Yes. Our esteemed executive board.
In the name of God, the compassionate,
the merciful.
O God who possesses everything,
O God who has both anger and favor.
We take shelter in you,
our God who owns all.
Let us be successful in this business
we are establishing, my dear God.
Do not let us disappoint our Empire
and the Muslim world.
Amen.
Our esteemed executive board.
Valuable attendants. As you know
for the first time ever in history
the Ottoman Empire will be
successfully establishing a bank.
We all know the difficult circumstances
we went through to get to where we are.
Nevertheless, our first goal is
to build the banks walls on solid ground.
We can start this by selecting
the head of the executive board.
I'm guessing, you are petitioning
yourself for this duty?
If the executive board shows favor.
Miss Sureyya, everyone knows about
my success in my business life.
Also, choosing a woman for the bank
as the head of the executive board...
If you allow I have a different idea.
What other evidence do you have,
Esat Pasha?
My Sultan, we have determined
that some of the men that organized
the first assassination
have a relation to Boris Zaharyas.
What kind of a relation?
As you know, Boris Zaharyas
put 25 million gold pieces
and I put 30 million gold pieces in funds
to establish this bank.
So this makes me the most powerful
partner in this partnership.
But it has never been seen for a woman
to be the head of the executive board.
I do understand that.
Regarding Boris Zaharyas to be...
...the head of the executive board...
...I do support it.
But under one condition.
Some lowlifes down in Galata district
say that they are Boris Zaharyas's hitmen.
Esat Pasha, Boris Zaharyas came to me
a fair amount of times by your favor.
We had heard you had
a good relationship with him.
That is right, my Sultan. But when
it comes to the matter of your life
even if it were my father who betrayed you
I would not forgive him.
It's not like I was going to give you
the job to be
the head of the executive board
on a silver platter.
-What is your condition, Miss Sureyya?
-My condition is for you
to share the job of being
the head of the executive board...
...with Cadi Giyaseddin Hatemi.
So the executive board
will be run by two heads.
Miss Sureyya
-I don't think Cadi...
-I accept.
If this is what is favored
I will not resign from this job.
With this light of evidence,
instead of arresting Boris Zaharyas
you decided to come and get my thoughts?
My Sultan, I wanted to come to you first
because of the approval you gave to him
to establish the bank.
So you wanted to come to me.
Esat Pasha, you are
my Minister of Internal Affairs.
You are responsible for the assets,
lives and honor of people
who live in this nation, even mine.
Instead of taking in a person
that you think has committed these
offenses, you thought of consulting me?
I am here on behalf of
the Padishah's orders, Boris Efendi.
When I perform the duty he has given me
I do everything in my power
to get it done sufficiently.
Don't get me wrong Cadi Efendi.
We just don't want to put
anymore burdens on your shoulder.
This burden is a lot for one to handle,
it is always more fortunate to share it.
Then we can vote on this decision.
Give all the evidence you have come by
with the preliminary investigation
to Cadi Giyaseddin. And do not
touch Boris Zaharyas
until this investigation is over.
He will not know of this,
under any circumstances.
I don't want any deficiency
in this matter, Esat Pasha.
My Sultan, what if we take care
of this matter with Cadi Yusuf?
Esat Pasha, know your place!
My Sultan says Cadi Giyaseddin.
Then the decision has been made.
Congratulations, Cadi Efendi.
To you as well, Boris Efendi.
You also are an arbiter
in the banks administration, just like me.
-Then the first thing to do...
-The first thing we need to do...
...is to decide what needs to be done
all together.
Only if I agree with what you want to do
when it is brought to the attention
of the executive board.
Cadi Efendi...
...you really surprise me.
Two people can look at the same thing
and see totally different things.
There is only one truth
just like the sun, Boris Efendi.
If you look from a different angle,
you see different points.
However, day light is always
from the same sun.
I believe that we can look at it
from the right angle.
I hope you don't disappoint me.
-What happened, my Pasha?
-Oh dear God, what have I done?
What are we going to do now?
Are we going to arrest Boris?
Did you arrange the witnesses, Riza?
Even if one stumbles
in front of Cadi Giyaseddin
we should count ourselves dead.
Don't you worry, my Pasha.
Given our state, if it is convenient
to you as well Cadi Efendi
we can end the meeting.
It is convenient.
Cadi Efendi.
They say that if you get
the taste of power
nothing in life can ever taste better.
Real power, Boris Efendi...
...is to bring down the monster inside you
that screams power, power.
Arm wrestling for the kids is
what is left from what you call power.
There is something
I would like to discuss with you.
-Whenever you want.
-Now.
Go ahead.
Do you know a man named Cavalry Ahmet?
Cavalry Ahmet.
Yes. He was a captain.
He used to work with me years ago.
But as I recall he wasn't
an honest person.
Years ago he swindled me.
He was killed last night.
Why?
Why are you asking me this, Cadi Efendi?
Do you think I was involved?
Boris Zaharyas, be very careful.
I am an inch away from solving
your connection with Emine Hatun.
What I advise is to tell me
everything you know about all this
or the end to this will be the gallows.
Cadi Efendi, I thought
I was cleared of these accusations?
No one is really cleared or guilty yet.
For now at least.
The seal of the Judiciary is in your hands.
So is justice.
I have no doubt that you will do
what is necessary.
Great.
-May I leave?
-You may.
-Have a nice day, sirs.
-Have a nice day.
-Sureyya.
-Boris.
Cadi Giyaseddin.
I have to admit you surprised me
quite a bit as well.
You thought I wouldn't accept
your offer, didn't you?
That way you were going to put
Ethem Efendi
as the head of the executive board.
Now listen to me carefully, Miss Sureyya.
This bank is the Ottoman Empire's
key to salvation.
If you think I am going to let this bank
become a toy for your personal interests
that is what would be surprising.
-What is going on with this man?
-With whom, Boris Efendi?
It makes me wonder what I have done
for you to be able to ask me
every question that
pops into your head, Weasel.
I'm sorry, Boris Efendi.
-Did you take care of the other problem?
-As you ordered.
Filinta Mustafa needs to die.
Do your duty.
Mustafa is your biggest enemy.
He shouldn't live anymore.
Ali.
It'll go away, brother.
It's not going away, my brother.
It's not.
When is this nightmare
going to end, my Mustafa?
Be patient, it will go away.
Sometimes, in my dreams
I see myself killing you.
What you've been through, it's not easy.
I'm like a time bomb that has been set.
What if one day I just blow up?
What if I hurt you, my Mustafa?
I told you before,
your blade can't cut me.
If this hand will have
the blood of his brother...
...may it fall off from its root.
If this blade touches you Ali ,
may it turn into dust.
I'm always by your side.
I'm not going anywhere. Just be patient.
Like everything else, this too shall pass.
God willing.
What's the rush?
Let's see what Yasmin can do?
Good work, Yasmin.
Poison. A small tiny cut
would've been enough to finish me.
Let's leave it here, so they can see
I got their message.
What a nice surprise, Anita.
Did you go out for a walk?
Mayer expects news from me. Outcome?
The outcome is that
the bank's administration is mine.
-Wonderful news.
-But with Cadi Giyaseddin.
That will turn all our plans upside-down.
What plans?
I think you're forgetting that
we gave you the funds for the bank.
I would have wanted you to remind me
of something nicer.
Now go and tell Mayer not to be hasty.
Padishah still has his eyes on us.
Know this Boris Efendi...
...if someone wrongs us,
they pay the price.
I'm not just talking about you,
your beautiful daughter as well.
I wish you knew me better.
Keep on walking.
Soon. Very soon.
What's going on?
We have strict orders from Cadi Efendi,
we can't take our eyes off of you.
If you're bored, take a look at these.
-Ceyrek, what are these?
-Pictures.
Pictures of what?
Killers, thieves, invaders.
Man, the girl's father just died.
Let me take those back, sister.
You smart aleck.
She doesn't sit at all.
What's wrong, sister?
Well, I need to go to the bathroom.
Yes, of course. Please go ahead.
I'll handle this one, Garbis.
What are you trying to say, man?
Don't forget, we have strict orders
from Boris Efendi.
We are on the side of darkness.
But this was our choice.
I used to think there was
no Brotherhood on this side.
After this you go your way, I go mine.
Azad. Azad!
Isn't it taking too long, Ceyrek?
What do you think, I'm keeping time?
Not like that, son.
But isn't it weird waiting like this?
Yeah, it does. Let's go inside and wait.
Sure, you're so right.
-Like you know everything.
-Ok, you imp, I didn't say anything.
Sister, sorry to interrupt but could you
please check on the girl inside?
-I hope nothing happened to her.
-There's no one inside.
What?
-No one's there?
-Take a look.
Mother!
Zeyrek my man, she ran away
using the window.
Cadi Efendi is going to kill us.
He's going to kill us.
And you are going to kill me, Ceyrek.
Let's go find the girl. Run.
Yes, run. Dear God!
-Chief.
-Woe to me.
What happened to you guys?
-Chief, remember the girl named Gonca?
-Yes.
Well, she ran away
out the bathroom window.
She ran off on us.
God, give me patience.
-What are we going to do, chief?
-What are we going to do?
Look there is a bakery across the street.
Go there and drink a cold lemonade.
Don't stress over small things like this.
Sit, relax, freshen up.
What do you mean, what are we going to do?
-Go look for her!
-Now, go!
Yes, my Chief.
-Mustafa.
-If she knows where Boris is
she's going to go and get her revenge.
Let's go to the Police Station
and let Cadi Efendi know
and alert all the officers.
The British slowly started
to tighten up their circle around me.
I am sure that they most probably
started planning how
they will blame me for
the Padishah's assassination.
You did a good job, Yasmin.
I lost count of how many assassinations
I've come across since I got to Istanbul.
Getting away from Istanbul
for a little while
might be good for you, Miss Sureyya.
Do you know how many years
I've been waiting to come back here?
All alone, as a child,
I was dreaming about coming back
to Istanbul when I was on my own.
But I knew if I came back powerless
it wouldn't have been worth anything.
I thought of every last detail.
I got rich. I got powerful.
Then I came back to Istanbul.
And now you are telling me
that leaving would be a good idea.
You want a child to give up on dreams.
That is the hardest thing in the world.
Ethem Efendi. What happened?
Enter.
Sir, Gonca ran away.
I know about the situation, sons.
When Zeyrek and Ceyrek come back
to the police station
they're going to be in trouble.
What did you guys find?
The deceased Cavalry Ahmet
was working for Boris.
-He was working as a smuggler.
-Is that so?
-Is there any evidence?
-Sir, you know Hamdi Agha is a witness.
Hamdi, a witness?
Hamdi Agha is never a witness,
he can't be.
Darkness is coming, sons.
We need to be careful.
Let's not stumble and fall,
when we strike.
If we go with rumors,
how can we bring justice?
You're right, sir.
Cavalry Ahmet and Boris
having a past of 15 years
doesn't show that he killed him.
Is there anything else?
Gonca will get her revenge.
-By killing Boris.
-Exactly.
Sir, let's get all the officers
on Boris' back. He might be in danger.
I don't think that will be necessary.
Why, sir?
You will solve this problem, sons.
There's no need to cause a riot
when it's not needed.
You will find Gonca and bring her to me.
Yes, sir.
If you'll excuse us.
I'm sorry to bother you again,
Miss Sureyya.
How can I help you, Sir Rhodes?
Just give up this bank job, won't you.
Sir Rhodes, you tried
to have me killed today.
Of course not!
Please don't underestimate me.
Look, this assassination thing
is not a job for you.
You have been failing a lot.
I will only make this offer now.
The ground is slippery.
If we make even one mistake,
it will make us suspects.
To prevent this
we need to get even closer to our enemies.
Without forgetting that
they are our enemies.
Boris will be sentenced to death
very soon.
And you will back down from becoming
a partner in the bank.
And why would I do that?
Your fleets of ships,
your investments in Europe...
If you do not back down
from that bank job,
Britain will use all of its power
to ensure that you go bankrupt.
You cannot resist us.
Sir Rodes,
you are a politician from the
conservative wing in Britain,
which means you are a hawk.
For us, Britain's interests are
above all else.
But you are a minority
in the House of Lords
as well as the House of Commons.
For now.
Sir Rodes,
if I withdraw my fleet
from the British colony,
you will not be able to
carry any goods at least for one year.
If Britain cannot carry goods,
it cannot do any business.
If Britain cannot do business, its economy
will sustain tremendous losses.
That means, Sir Rodes,
that if you meddle in my affairs,
I will cause a loss so immense
that the liberals in Parliament will claw
your hawk eyes right out
Now,
you are not the first person
to come here to threaten me,
nor will you be the last.
I do not buy into these kinds of threats.
You know the way out.
We will meet again.
I look forward to it!
The only enemy from whom I am certain to
receive a blow is Sureyya.
She would attack me from the front.
Because she'd rather see the expression
on my face when I am dying
than getting me killed from behind.
That means Weasel...
the real danger will come from those
who would stab me in the back.
We must be very careful with them.
The British...
The British...
Sureyya is a formidable adversary.
Boris Zaharyas?
Boris Zaharyas...
He has made the biggest mistake of his
life by allying himself with the Germans.
Esat Pasha may have arrested him today.
Those who believe themselves to be strong
will inevitably look stupid,
and those who try to pretend to look
strong will inevitably be liars.
You are a great woman.
Boris doesn't have any friends.
But he does have many enemies.
And because of the bank, his friends
overseas are now his enemies.
He should proceed very carefully.
And Ethem Efendi
the British want to dig Boris's grave.
He would come close to us.
From now on, I would like to
continue on my own.
I do not want any mistakes at this time.
Do not disappoint me.
Aye, Boris Efendi.
Although Father Giyasettin
appears composed,
he is very angry with us, brother.
Of course he is.
We managed to let that little girl slip
right through our fingers
-in that the police office.
-May God not let you down, Mustafa.
Ali, we must be going.
We must go anywhere Boris could have gone.
We must find that poor girl before
she does gets herself into any mischief.
Come on.
There are now two matters requiring
our attention.
The first is to find the murderer of
Bali Hatun.
And the second is the genealogy
of this birth certificate.
Mustafa's past.
Abdullah, you will investigate
this matter.
I don't know how you will be able to
find it among so many names.
If the name is written here and
we are destined to find it,
it does not matter who that
son of Adam is, we will find him.
As the Cadi Giyasettin ordered,
no one will enter here but you,
and no one will know you are here.
Very well.
A prince, a king, or a pauper;
what force renders all of these men equal?
Death, Supreme Master.
Our sacred causes give you worth
when you are worthless,
granting you, a mortal, with immortality.
Speak, Boris Zaharyas.
I was chosen to head the committee
that managed the bank but was ultimately
unable to influence them
as I had hoped, Supreme Master.
We know this.
Our failures have led the way
for centuries, Boris Zaharyas.
Go on.
The other headman is
Cadi Giyasettin Hatemi.
Perfect, Boris Efendi, perfect!
You have successfully fulfilled the duties
we have assigned to you.
Upon the recommendation
of Alexander and Ismail,
you will no longer sit across from me,
you will sit next to me, Boris Zaharyas.
Sit.
Our plans are not limited to the Ottomans.
We want to rule the entire world.
You have earned your place among the
brothers now.
This is a great responsibility for you,
Boris Zaharyas.
We have great dreams for you.
I found it.
Well done, Abdullah.
Good boy!
A prince, a king, or a pauper;
What force renders all men equal?
Death, the Supreme Master..
What, you mortal? Did I scare you?
I was not expecting you, Cadi Efendi.
Hush.
Oh and by the way,
I found Mustafa's genealogy.
Now we know who his family members are,
where they come from.
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
You cannot take your revenge like this.
Do you understand me?
I am not a coward like you, okay?
Give my gun back to me and I will
show you what I am capable of!
Look at me!
Watch your tongue or I'll teach you
a lesson.
He murdered my father!
He murdered my father! He did it!
Let go of me!
He murdered my father!
It is over...
That's enough.
You have a guest, Boris Efendi.
Welcome to my house, Sureyya.
Today is full of surprises.
What can I do for you? What do you want?
You won't believe me but I want to
help you.
The British are after you.
Do you think I am not aware?
They want to take over the bank.
There is nothing I want more than
to destroy you,
but this matter is more important
than our enmity.
If the British
manage to take over the bank,
they will overthrow the Ottoman Empire.
What a refreshing change of pace it is
to share the same opinion for once.
I am setting our enmity aside, Boris.
But only until this matter is resolved.
I've had friends, and I've had enemies.
But time changes everything.
The noose I once put around Mustafa's neck
is now being placed around mine
by the British.
You have been following me
since this morning.
I was wondering when you'd come out.
Do you ever think of death?
All the time.
Do you ever wish you were dead?
For your loved ones not to get harmed?
If you want I can relieve you
of it without any pain.
I have gone and come back once, brother.
Death is not an end for the people
like us, it is a beginning.
Save that bullshit for the birds.
How shall we do it?
However you see fit.
Perhaps this is the most auspicious
option.
To die without harming your loved ones.
Perhaps the most auspicious option.
To die without harming your loved ones.
And you?
Have you ever thought of death?
The peace...
The peace.
Sureyya Hanim,
Cadi Giyasettin is expecting you.
What is this in regards to?
He will tell that himself.
Wait here.
Our sacred causes make you
worthwhile while you are worthless,
granting you, a mortal, with immortality.
You have successfully fulfilled
the duties we have assigned to you.
You will no longer sit across from me,
you will sit next to me, Boris Zaharyas.
Our plans are not limited
to the Ottoman Empire.
We want to rule the entire world.
You have earned your place
among the brothers now.
This is a great responsibility for you,
Boris Zaharyas.
We have great dreams for you.
Sorry for making you come
all the way here, Sureyya Hanim.
Come in and take a seat at the table,
Sureyya Hanim.
I wouldn't want to disturb you.
What disturbance? Please come in.
-Welcome.
-Welcome.
Welcome.
It has been a long time since
I've sat at a table like this.
-Thank you!
-Enjoy your meal!
If you'll excuse me, I'd like to speak
with you a moment.
-Of course.
-After you.
This way please.
Sureyya Hanim,
the reason I've asked you here
is to discuss the beautiful girl
sitting inside: Gonca.
I do not know how to explain this,
but I believe that Boris may have had
her father murdered.
But we do not have any evidence
to support this claim.
This beautiful girl has been orphaned,
she is motherless and fatherless.
She needs someone to protect her.
You want me to protect her?
You are in no way obligated to do so.
Yet another victim of Boris's.
I accept.
God bless you.
You too, Cadi Efendi.
Hodja,
we would like to leave if you'll
excuse us.
Why? Where are you going?
Hodja, we have some things to do.
You have things to do and request
my permission to leave.
You are excused.
Come in, aide.
What happened, what do you want?
But, you...
Sir Henry...
seeing you here...
I am surprised, to be honest.
We did not realize you would cause
so many problems
when we sent you as an ambassador.
Problems?
You have failed to stop the establishment
of the bank.
You tried to assassinate the Padishah
twice, and both times you failed.
And we were not even informed
of the last assassination attempt.
In short,
I have been specially chosen by the Queen
to clear all of the chaos
that you have created.
Mistake after mistake.
Sometimes you need to take initiative,
you know this very well.
When you take an initiative, you also
must have a valid result. Just like I do.
What do you mean?
You will soon understand.
As I told you,
when you take the initiative,
you also must have a valid result.
This is Gonca.
She will be staying with us from now on.
Set aside the back bedroom for her.
You must be tired.
Get some rest. We'll speak later.
-What is going on?
-What is going on?
I remember you now, Riza.
That is what's going on.
I told you this day would come.
The person who killed Sergeant Hasan is,
Anita von Wilhelm.
You are going to let Mustafa
hear about this.
Consider it done!
FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY
WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH
ARE DETECTIVE STORIES
THAY HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP

THIS SHOW IS IN MEMORY OF THOSE
GLORIOUS MARTYRS OF

FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY
We're entities
who want to reach their goals...
...and we are worthless for our goal.
Do you accept that, Boris Zaharyas?
I've always accepted this
and I accept it now, Supreme Efendi.
Good.
We gave you the name Boris Zaharyas.
We supported you.
We ensured
that you'd become who you are now.
What we wanted from you
was to set up the Ottoman bank.
We're a river
that flowed underground for centuries...
...Boris Zaharyas.
We never revealed ourselves
with any of our moves and we won't.
But you, Boris...
You disregarded our basic principle.
You revealed us at the time the river
has almost made it to the sea.
You were imprudent.
You're right.
I accept that.
I was imprudent.
Accepting that
doesn't make us forgive your mistakes.
You went after a little Field Marshal type
called Mustafa...
...and you almost revealed yourself.
What happens if Bala Hatun,
who came here today...
...makes what she knows about you public?
Here it is. This is your smell.
That's you.
My Mustafa.
My Mustafa.
I had to leave you
in front of the Kulliye.
Satan has always been after us.
We couldn't both run away.
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Tell me for God's sake.
Who are you?
You'll find out the truth now, Mustafa.
Bala Hatun can't make anything public.
Bala Hatun isn't a threat for us,
Supreme Efendi.
Bala Hatun.
Because Bala Hatun should be dead now,
Supreme Efendi.
-Bala Hatun!
-Don't you be sorry.
I was dying anyway.
I saw you for one last time...
...so I won't die in disappointment.
Calm down.
Breathe.
I'll save you.
Don't worry.
Soon...
...you'll find out...
...who you are.
Gentlemen...
yes...
I really am not an important person.
But, if you say so, I can give you
the Ottomans just like that money.
Just like you stated, Supreme Efendi...
we've never been closer to our goal.
-The choice is yours.
-You're very arrogant, Boris Efendi.
We'll vote on your arrogance now.
Accept.
Reject.
Accept.
Reject.
Accept.
Reject
Three rejects, three accepts.
Your fate is at my fingertip,
Boris Zaharyas.
Are you ready for this?
Go away now, Boris Zaharyas.
Question yourself.
Have a look at your worthless life...
...and await our orders.
"To God we belong and
to him is our return."
God rest her soul.
She was a brave woman.
The deceased one obtained her goal
before she died.
Her death wasn't for nothing.
Bala Hatun left this document in my house.
So that it doesn't fall into
the wrong hands.
What's this paper, Master?
This is...
...your birth certificate.
We know what it is now.
The information you gave was appreciated.
Boris Efendi will revive you.
Did you think that I'm scared of death?
But your son...
Look at the bright side, Hamdi Agha.
The poor woman was really sick anyway.
She passed away
before she suffered too much.
Pardon us.
Now...
...get on that street
and run away without looking back.
No way.
Do what I'm telling you.
Run, now! Run!
Run, follow her.
What?
What do you want?
I'll pay you two times what they paid.
I asked you what you want.
Your life!
Cavalry Ahmet,
you shouldn't have come to Istanbul.
There is no doubt. This document is real.
According to this document...
...you were born in Sarajevo.
You're the son of Osman Efendi
and Hafize Hatun.
Bala Hatun.
She brought me to Istanbul first
and then she vanished.
She came to my help
when I needed her the most.
She was really a saintly woman.
First, she saved your life...
...then she sacrificed herself
so you can know your real identity.
We know who you are, son.
Your past will set light on our present.
Master...
...how did they know that Hamdi Efendi
would go there at that time of night.
One moment.
I remember...
...that woman.
What do you remember, son?
Bala Hatun.
I know Bala Hatun.
She's somewhere here. I'm sure.
God damn it.
They'll skin us if we can't find the girl.
I know. We'll find her.
What happened to her father?
-I took care of him.
Aghas...
...what are you doing here?
It's a rascal. He stole my gold sack.
Yeah? So?
Yes, that's the case.
We were looking for him.
Shut it!
The kid got away and hid here...
Are you trying to fool a baby?
You tactless people!
It's forbidden
to go inside customs territory...
...at this time of night.
-But...
-Shut up!
Get lost...
...before I cause an accident.
Get back to your duties.
You keep on making me guess, my Mustafa.
Just tell me already, brother.
When we were little...
...once in a while she used to come
to the Kulliye.
What do you mean?
Now I understand.
What do you understand, my brother?
She didn't come near me
so she could protect me.
Don't you remember her
coming to the Kulliye?
No.
When we were at the Kulliye...
...once in a while she would show up
and she would watch over me.
-I don't want it.
-Why, don't you like it?
No, I do.
If you had one for Ali too
then it would be okay.
-Who's that?
-My brother.
So Ali is your brother.
Oh good hearted,
handsome child of mine.
Look, now it's two apples.
Okay.
Now I remember.
We are going to perform the last mission
for Bala Hatun adequately, my son.
Now we have two issues.
First, to find the ones
who killed Bala Hatun.
We are going to find them.
Then, we are going to call them
to account.
Yes, and the second one is the genealogy
of this birth certificate.
Mustafa's past.
Abdullah, you are going to
investigate this issue.
Sir, don't you feel suspicious
that they killed her
at that time of night
in that specific place?
The feeling in my gut says that
you both suspect the same person as I do.
As you ordered,
Bala Hatun has passed away.
You see, however much money you earn
it is never enough to buy your past.
-The other job?
-That has been taken care of as well.
Good. We have disposed of
a very important matter for us.
But I feel like a very heavy storm
is coming our way, Weasel.
We have to be very careful.
Tell us Alexander, we are listening.
My Master, Boris is very skilled.
If we can file his arrogance and greed
he can be very useful to us.
I am sure of it.
Boris will become the head of the bank.
Save him from the hands of the British.
As you command.
However you want, our Supreme Master.
The Padishah is very smart
and he increases Cadi Giyaseddin's power.
The real danger is Cadi Giyaseddin
getting more powerful.
We have a close watch on him,
Supreme Master.
Good.
What in God's name?
Honestly my Mustafa, every time
I see someone dressed swag like this
the first thing that pops into my head
is the British.
Did you find anything on him?
Nothing, Chief. He was robbed.
We will see if he was robbed
or it was just posed that way.
I hope God doesn't get offended
but with all the issues
we have to deal with now, we have
a shower of dead bodies as well.
Looking at the way he is dressed,
his beard, he seems like a British man.
And he has an amulet on his neck.
There are wheels within wheels here, Ali.
Why wouldn't there be, of course there is.
Suspicion is all around us. All around us.
Father!
Father!
Father!
Leave.
It's okay. I'm here.
Did you have another nightmare?
That woman was killing you.
It's okay. It's over. See, I'm here.
I'm across from you, I'm next to you.
See, I'm steady as a rock. It's okay.
It's over my beautiful daughter.
Come on, lie back down.
Well done my daughter.
Well done my Sultan.
Don't worry, I'm right here, okay?
I'm going to wait for you
at the foot of your bed.
My beautiful daughter.
It's over, my child.
A woman that I don't even know
gave her life for me.
She always protected me from afar.
With this woman my past has been put
into the soil, by my own hands.
This woman did not die for nothing,
Mustafa.
She actually gave your life back to you,
my brother.
My Ali states the truth, son.
The part that we will play in this
will shed a light on the issue.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
There are spies in the Palace
roaming freely to try to take my life
the life of the Empire's Padishah's
and his daughter's as well.
And you just stand there pensively.
Esat Pasha, what is the status
of the investigation?
Who is this snake of a woman
we have taken in?
My Sultan, we will find the ones
who planned this as soon as...
Esat Pasha, what do you mean by soon?
We have no time.
You either shed a light on this matter
or you will be dismissed from your status.
As you wish my Sultan.
Enter.
Esat Pasha, you can go back
to your duties.
Our enemy is daring and very insolent.
How dare she come into my daughter's room
and try to take my life?
My child Neslihan Sultan has not been
able to sleep since that day.
The roots of this case are very deep,
Cadi Giyaseddin.
Do whatever you have to do
to shed light on this case.
As our Padishah commands.
We will return their demeanor
with retorsion.
BRITISH EMBASSY
What is it?
Yes?
-Ambassador Efendi.
-Come on talk, man.
The last assassination attempt that was
carried out against the Padishah.
Yes.
The two back to back failures
have made the queen really angry.
She sent this telegram.
We still haven't played our last game.
In the end, the queen
will be pleased with us.
Neslihan Sultan.
Please come in.
My Sultan.
There are some people
I want to introduce to you.
This blessed person is my Hodja,
Cadi Giyaseddin.
Filinta Mustafa and Blade Ali.
You. I know you.
You saved my Shah Father's life.
Nothing's going to happen
to my father, right?
My Sultan...
...we will protect your father
even if we have to give our own lives.
Don't worry.
This critical incident
will never happen again.
As long as you stay strong.
There you go.
Smiling suits you so much, our Sultan.
Every move Boris makes,
we are left bearing the brunt of it.
Of course cleaning up his mess
is up to us, again.
Well, what are we going to do
Minister Efendi?
If we figure out the bank issue,
he will be at the end of that rope.
And if we don't, then they will
dismiss me from being a minister.
I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.
God damn it!
This time we are backed into a corner.
Enter.
What is it?
The British Ambassador, Mr. Rhodes
is here to see you, sir.
It's been a long time.
I have been dealing with my past
a lot these days.
I have been lonely, too.
I was an inch away from tumbling down.
But do you know what kept me going?
Hate.
Everyone did harm to the child...
...that was waiting for love in the past.
But because of that...
...I realized there was no room
for what ifs in this world.
Others planted the seeds of hate
in me but...
...you made them grow.
You.
The only woman...
...I ever loved.
You.
The woman who gave me the joy of living.
You.
The woman who betrayed me.
Your place is by my side.
But you didn't love me, either.
If only you did.
Ambassador Rhodes, there must be a reason
for your instantaneous arrival.
There is no feasible reason
but I am sure we will meet
at a feasible outcome.
Leave us alone.
As you command, Minister Efendi.
How can I be of service, Mr. Rhodes?
Papers, paperwork.
Some aren't worth anything.
Some bear vital importance.
What are you trying to say?
What I am trying to say Esat Pasha
is that after this
your reigns are in my hands.
I understood this very well.
I couldn't bury my pain with you.
And this pain...
...this wound that bleeds...
...makes me more unmerciful.
Bring down her grave.
Burn her bones.
I don't want anything left of her.
What are those, Mr. Rhodes?
These are the main documents
regarding the briberies you have made.
Briberies! What are you saying, Efendi?
Calm down, Esat Pasha.
We know that Boris Zaharyas
used these documents to threaten you.
Esat Pasha, these are the documents
from when you were illegally buying
and selling ships in the navy.
God forbid if these documents
get in the hands of the Padishah...
-But these documents...
-We always had the main copies.
What do you want from me?
To shake the friendly hand
that the British extends to you.
Esat Pasha, we want the assassination
attempt against the Padishah
to be put on Boris Zaharyas.
You are the only person who can help us
regarding this subject.
And when this happens
I will give these documents to you
with my own hands.
Okay. What am I going to do?
The plan is simple, Esat Pasha.
This job is a little too complicated.
The investigations we have done
now concern the countries as well.
Well, who put Emine Hatun in the Palace?
Cadi Efendi...
...I hope you don't think
I have a relationship with this woman.
-Where do you know her from?
-Know her?
Where did you get that idea from?
The first and last time I saw her
was at the police station.
She especially wanted for you
to see me here with her.
We have lots of enemies.
They tried to finish off
the Padishah and me.
As you see, I'm just
one of the victims here.
In my opinion, it was Boris
who put her in the Palace.
I don't think he is behind
the assassination.
But it's a fact that someone is.
Every issue is a pile of soil.
What gives it a chance
is the seed that grows
from the middle of it.
Soil is the beauty of the seed
that makes it able to fold.
If you want to bring someone down,
first you have to bring down the place
he leans his back on. Do you understand?
My Sultan, today is
the British Ambassador's visitation day.
He is going to want the ports
to be a priority.
He will also ask you to lift
the taxes from the imported goods
that come from Britain.
As you can see Grand Vizier Efendi
this is why it is important
to establish the bank.
Ever since they established factories
and started mass production
they make goods with cheap parts.
And this affects the sales
of our crafts and crafters.
They can't resist with these prices.
On the other hand, our people
want cheap goods.
And since we keep taxes high
to protect our crafts and crafters...
...we can't grant our people's wishes.
The only solution is to develop
domestic industry.
And yet again this is why
it is important to establish
this bank, Grand Vizier Efendi.
God willing, the industry we establish
will be with the power of our own bank.
You are right, my Sultan.
If my Sultan forgives me.
I believe these devils are
behind these assassinations
that have been schemed...
It is part of being the man of a nation.
Now, let's make an evaluation
of the situation
and see how we are going to move forth.
With God's help we were able to
prevent the two assassinations
that were made against the Padishah.
The man we caught
for the first assassination was
Mohin Sanazmen.
He was a British citizen.
We think that the other jackals
were hired by the British
but we don't have any proof of it.
The assassin who is the slapper died.
The other is unknown.
We know that Emine Hatun
was put into the Palace six months ago.
Who put her there is unknown as well.
The woman and her family
that raised Neslihan Sultan
suddenly died in a fire.
And she was immediately replaced
with this woman.
Who wrote the letter of recommendation?
Mehmet Sakir Efendi,
from the Shaykh Al-Islam.
But unfortunately Mehmet Sakir Efendi
died from a heart attack
three months ago.
What makes this incident mysterious
is the part were Emine Hatun stabbed
the British man so openly
in the middle of the street.
And coming to the police station
and showing herself to Boris Zaharyas.
The Hatun knowingly and openly
went to Boris Zaharyas.
She looked like she was saying,
I'm going to go kill your Padishah
then disappear and you are going to
blame Boris for it.
Boris Zaharyas is a villain,
might even be the devil
but organizing an assassination
against the Padishah
is too big of a deal for him.
So, it seems as though
we don't really have anything.
There is, my Ali. There is.
We have two things. First,
to shed a light on the assassination
attempt against our Padishah.
Second, to figure out
who killed Bala Hatun.
We checked Emine Hatun's room
in the Palace. We couldn't find anything.
We checked the room that she was
hiding in as well. It was cleaned.
The question is...
...why did Emine Hatun
kill that British man?
And on the other hand, the man
that was killed last night
looked like a British man.
Who killed him and why?
Okay but, what does that have to do
with this subject?
My gut feeling, Mustafa.
You know, since I left and came back,
my feelings got stronger.
Okay.
-Why did you come in?
-Good God.
We're sorry Cadi Efendi.
We couldn't hold her back.
-What gives?
-Are you Cadi Giyaseddin?
Yes my dear girl, how can I help you?
Lara.
Azize.
Sadness doesn't suit you.
What are you doing here?
What is this state of yours, on the piano?
Come on, let's go outside for a bit.
Thank you,
but I really don't feel like it.
I'm not accepting any buts.
We are going to go upstairs immediately
and you are going to put on a nice dress.
We are going out.
Okay? Come on.
Are you ready?
Yes.
He is my father.
I'm sorry for your loss, sister.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Even though my father was scared
he had said we needed to
take care of our business in Istanbul,
so we can go back to London.
So we set off on our way.
He came here even though he knew
he was going to die.
He knowingly took the risk of dying.
Take it. Kill the ones who
spilled my father's blood.
Take it please.
Look here, little girl.
Don't worry, we will find
your father's killer.
We will do this because
justice commands us.
Now put the sack back in your pocket.
We understand you are in a lot of pain.
But I don't want to see that again.
Okay, my sister?
Father.
I think you should try something else.
Lara.
My mother.
Seeing her fills me with despair.
That's why I hid it here.
She looks a lot like you.
Well, that's enough with all that.
Come on, put your dress on.
I'll be waiting at the door.
May God rest his soul, my girl.
May God forgive the deceased man's sins.
I know you are in pain but...
...you had said you knew
your father was going to get killed.
Who was your father?
Cavalry Ahmet. He was a captain.
I opened my eyes in London.
I only know from what my father told me.
He had a small ship.
We moved from Istanbul to London.
My dad missed Istanbul a lot.
Once in a while he would cry.
But he didn't step foot in Istanbul
for 14 years.
Why?
He was scared.
What was he scared of?
He said there is a devil.
There is a devil in Istanbul.
Who was it? Did he ever mention his name?
Are you going to take my father's revenge?
My dear girl...
...even if you were wronged
a thousand times
don't be cruel not even once.
Even if they are cruel, we need to
treat our enemies with justice.
I thought we were going to get some air.
You never know what can happen outside.
Yet, I am dominant over the darkness here.
I don't understand.
Here you go.
I've been through hard days.
I couldn't see anyone but my father
and my nanny Gulbahar.
I am better now.
Your nanny Gulbahar?
She was with me since I was a small child.
-She was like my mother.
-I can imagine.
Well, isn't it weird that
she just left you like this
and went to her relatives?
I didn't understand it either.
She would never do such a thing.
For a moment I thought she quit.
But my father would never allow that.
Why are you like this, Lara...
...Zaharyas?
Everything is for mankind, Azize.
That's to say that
I needed to go through this.
Do you want me to tell you
why you are like this?
Fate.
May God help us all, Lara.
How old are you, my dear girl?
14.
-Do you have a place to go?
-No.
I understand.
Zeyrek, Ceyrek. Come here.
Yes, Cadi Efendi.
We are going to have our girl Gonca
stay here at the Police Station
as a guest for a while. Take care of her.
You can trust us, my Chief.
My dear girl, the officer Efendis
is going to take care of you
until we get back. Okay?
Go on then.
After you, sister.
Look here.
Don't take your eyes off of her.
-As you wish, Cadi Efendi.
-As you wish, Cadi Efendi.
A man that was scared to come to Istanbul
for 14 years, comes to Istanbul.
He was probably killed by the man
he was scared of.
Sir, that person definitely has to be
Boris Zaharyas. Definitely.
If it was Boris, then what brought
Cavalry Ahmet to Istanbul?
Gonca said it.
The British either told him
to go do their dirty work
or we will deport you.
So the British sent Cavalry Ahmet
to take care of Boris Zaharyas.
Is that right?
Sir, is this man this important?
When the subject is regarding the bank,
it is important.
Sons
go and find the ins and outs
of this matter.
-Yes, sir.
-May it be easy.
What do you want?
Two ships came from Athens.
We need to load them.
Then load them.
You aren't going to start that again,
are you father?
It's none of your business, boy!
I don't answer to you.
You barely just quit this crap.
Don't forget the hard times
we went through, father.
You, the monumental Head Porter,
Hamdi Agha.
What is this burden that crushes you?
Why do you take on the burden
of all of Istanbul to protect me, father?
Protect?
What, you think I don't know?
-What do you know?
-Boris.
He makes you do everything
he wants with his threats.
Every time that mutt comes here...
...you get disarrayed.
Let me help you.
Let me take the responsibilities
that are the size of a mountain from you.
Mecit!
Son.
You...
...will stay clean. Do you understand?
Istanbul...
This Port...
It is the home of snakes.
The four corners are scorpions.
You can't know these things, son.
You can't handle them.
I'm going to save you
from your burden, father.
Do you understand?
I'm going to save you.
Nuri, don't offset me.
Don't forget what I said.
Don't repeat yourself 100 times, Bekri.
Do I look stupid to you?
If you saw what I saw.
Don't mouth off at me, Nuri!
I'll make an example of you
in the center of Galata...
...I'll make you neigh like a horse.
Sorry, but first you might want to clean
the dirt off yourself.
A horse doesn't neigh
according to its step
it neighs according to the person.
Do you understand, Bekri?
Nicely put, Nuri. Nicely put.
Have a nice day, Officer Efendis.
Go on, mother.
Go inside. Goodbye.
May God grant you a clear mind, my child.
-Let him in.
-As you wish, my Sultan.
Assistant!
Your Majesty.
Ambassador Rhodes.
I am grateful that you agreed to see me.
What will you present to us, Mr. Rhodes?
First of all I would like to say this
to you, your Majesty:
The British have always seen
the Ottoman Empire as their best ally.
We wouldn't want such a valuable ally
like yourself to be miserable
in the Balkan mountains
or in the heat of the Arabian desert.
It would be good for both sides
if you put these types
of intelligence activities aside.
Activities? Such a thing...
We know you have a hand in
the Aleppo rebellion.
On the other hand, we also know
who gave the ammunition to the gangs
that organized the assassination
of our Macedonia Governor.
You think we are the sick men of Europe,
blind and deaf.
But you are wrong.
This state is ancient.
Yes, this nation is as old as its history.
But you are so small that you imagine
and think that you can destroy us.
Let me give you an example from history.
The foreign ambassadors
used to be dragged while kneeling
to appear before my ancestors.
Did you know that?
A lot has changed under the firmament.
These principles belong to the past.
But one principle has not changed.
You cannot just sit,
you cannot even breathe
under this roof without the permission
from the all mighty Padishah.
Now tell me Ambassador Rhodes.
Why did Emine Hatun,
the one who tried to take my life
kill one of your men
that worked at the Embassy?
My Sultan, we think that the man
that worked at our Embassy
had detected that Emine Hatun
was a German spy.
He was sent to follow her.
Since you were
so interested in helping us,
why didn't you report it to us?
We still didn't have
enough evidence on our hands.
James was killed by that cursed woman
the day he found the evidence.
Look at me, Ambassador.
If I learn you have any part in this,
I'll make you pay for it.
The council has ended. You may leave.
-But...
-The meeting is over. You may leave.
They even tried to take
the Padishah's life.
Everyone is trying to undertake
this nation.
I never thought they would have
the courage to do that, madam.
Being daring is part of greed's nature.
Hard times are ahead of us, Ethem Efendi.
As long as you lead us,
we can get through all the hardships.
This is the person
you will be dealing with.
I expect a perfect outcome from you.
Don't worry.
There is no evil that the British
would not do for their self-interest.
This time the enemy is strong.
Our job is not easy.
Of course, our hand isn't weak either.
You pompous Zaharyas,
look at the state you've put me in.
I've turned into those women
who wait for their husbands.
If the aghas and pashas leave Istanbul
jackals like Nuri will take over.
Little by little, all of this
will be accounted for.
Where are you, lad?
Jackal, Nuri, angel.
Whatever the heck you are, come on.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake, give me a hand please.
For God's sake brother please,
for God's sake.
I haven't eaten in days.
Please help me brother.
-Don't you have any relatives?
-No, sir.
For years, I have been trying
to take care of myself.
-Where do you stay and sleep?
-I have an aba which I can put anywhere
and I can sleep anywhere.
Here today, tomorrow somewhere else.
Be around here tomorrow.
Don't be anywhere else.
We might have something for you to do.
-Your name?
-Nuri.
My name is Nuri.
You understood me, right Nuri brother?
My father isn't available right now.
How did you know we were looking for him?
Why else would you come here?
I said my father isn't available.
Every time you guys come here,
he feels burnt out.
It's your father's fault, Mecit.
If he lets go of all that he keeps
bottled up
he'll feel better and so will we.
Now stop being a shadow and move away.
Don't make me deal with you too.
Are you for real, Mecit?
Is this how we're going to close
the port's notebook for casualties?
If I have to, I will burn this port down
for my father.
My Mustafa...
...which side do you want to take?
Well, there are less people
on the right side.
Don't count them, we already
tried that before. You can't count.
Now move out of our way.
Nuri.
Nuri.
What's wrong, man?
Are you scared?
Why did you become like this, Nuri?
If I didn't use you as a pawn...
...I would skin you...
...and turn you into shoes for my feet.
Pray that
they don't find your body
along the side of the river
before our job is done.
Why are you staring stupidly at my face?
Talk, son! What did you do?
-Boris Zaharyas.
-Yes.
Did you kill him?
No.
Did you mutilate him?
Thank you.
Enjoy, may it be sweet and tasty.
Clear away.
Mecit.
Son, whatever you do
do not ever lift a hand
against your officers.
That is not how it is in our book.
-Father...
-I know what you want to do.
And you say what you want to say already,
Field Marshall Aghas.
Cavalry Ahmet?
It must have been about 15 years
since I last saw him.
That's about right.
He was killed in Galata, yesterday.
Boris!
Do you realize what you are saying,
Esat Pasha?
So you are telling me that the person
who let Emine Hatun into the Palace...
...and tried to have me assassinated
is Boris Zaharyas. Is that right?
That is what our preliminary investigation
show us, my Sultan.
Do you have any evidence?
Our Efendi, we had already figured out
that Emine Hatun's letter
of recommendation was fake.
The person who wrote the letter
is a witness and states that
Boris Zaharyas organized it.
-What else?
-My Sultan, on the other hand
we have officers that saw Emine Hatun
talk to Boris Zaharyas
at the police station
the day she planned the assassination.
Esat Pasha, every enmity
should have a reason behind it.
Why do you think he would want
to have me killed after the permission
I gave to him to establish our bank?
My Padishah, I think that
Boris Zaharyas is working
for the German Intelligence.
And he got the order from them.
What do you think, Pasha?
My Sultan, I still think the situation
is still blurry.
We need to look at how real
the witness statements are.
My Sultan, we have more evidence.
Yes. Our esteemed executive board.
In the name of God, the compassionate,
the merciful.
O God who possesses everything,
O God who has both anger and favor.
We take shelter in you,
our God who owns all.
Let us be successful in this business
we are establishing, my dear God.
Do not let us disappoint our Empire
and the Muslim world.
Amen.
Our esteemed executive board.
Valuable attendants. As you know
for the first time ever in history
the Ottoman Empire will be
successfully establishing a bank.
We all know the difficult circumstances
we went through to get to where we are.
Nevertheless, our first goal is
to build the banks walls on solid ground.
We can start this by selecting
the head of the executive board.
I'm guessing, you are petitioning
yourself for this duty?
If the executive board shows favor.
Miss Sureyya, everyone knows about
my success in my business life.
Also, choosing a woman for the bank
as the head of the executive board...
If you allow I have a different idea.
What other evidence do you have,
Esat Pasha?
My Sultan, we have determined
that some of the men that organized
the first assassination
have a relation to Boris Zaharyas.
What kind of a relation?
As you know, Boris Zaharyas
put 25 million gold pieces
and I put 30 million gold pieces in funds
to establish this bank.
So this makes me the most powerful
partner in this partnership.
But it has never been seen for a woman
to be the head of the executive board.
I do understand that.
Regarding Boris Zaharyas to be...
...the head of the executive board...
...I do support it.
But under one condition.
Some lowlifes down in Galata district
say that they are Boris Zaharyas's hitmen.
Esat Pasha, Boris Zaharyas came to me
a fair amount of times by your favor.
We had heard you had
a good relationship with him.
That is right, my Sultan. But when
it comes to the matter of your life
even if it were my father who betrayed you
I would not forgive him.
It's not like I was going to give you
the job to be
the head of the executive board
on a silver platter.
-What is your condition, Miss Sureyya?
-My condition is for you
to share the job of being
the head of the executive board...
...with Cadi Giyaseddin Hatemi.
So the executive board
will be run by two heads.
Miss Sureyya
-I don't think Cadi...
-I accept.
If this is what is favored
I will not resign from this job.
With this light of evidence,
instead of arresting Boris Zaharyas
you decided to come and get my thoughts?
My Sultan, I wanted to come to you first
because of the approval you gave to him
to establish the bank.
So you wanted to come to me.
Esat Pasha, you are
my Minister of Internal Affairs.
You are responsible for the assets,
lives and honor of people
who live in this nation, even mine.
Instead of taking in a person
that you think has committed these
offenses, you thought of consulting me?
I am here on behalf of
the Padishah's orders, Boris Efendi.
When I perform the duty he has given me
I do everything in my power
to get it done sufficiently.
Don't get me wrong Cadi Efendi.
We just don't want to put
anymore burdens on your shoulder.
This burden is a lot for one to handle,
it is always more fortunate to share it.
Then we can vote on this decision.
Give all the evidence you have come by
with the preliminary investigation
to Cadi Giyaseddin. And do not
touch Boris Zaharyas
until this investigation is over.
He will not know of this,
under any circumstances.
I don't want any deficiency
in this matter, Esat Pasha.
My Sultan, what if we take care
of this matter with Cadi Yusuf?
Esat Pasha, know your place!
My Sultan says Cadi Giyaseddin.
Then the decision has been made.
Congratulations, Cadi Efendi.
To you as well, Boris Efendi.
You also are an arbiter
in the banks administration, just like me.
-Then the first thing to do...
-The first thing we need to do...
...is to decide what needs to be done
all together.
Only if I agree with what you want to do
when it is brought to the attention
of the executive board.
Cadi Efendi...
...you really surprise me.
Two people can look at the same thing
and see totally different things.
There is only one truth
just like the sun, Boris Efendi.
If you look from a different angle,
you see different points.
However, day light is always
from the same sun.
I believe that we can look at it
from the right angle.
I hope you don't disappoint me.
-What happened, my Pasha?
-Oh dear God, what have I done?
What are we going to do now?
Are we going to arrest Boris?
Did you arrange the witnesses, Riza?
Even if one stumbles
in front of Cadi Giyaseddin
we should count ourselves dead.
Don't you worry, my Pasha.
Given our state, if it is convenient
to you as well Cadi Efendi
we can end the meeting.
It is convenient.
Cadi Efendi.
They say that if you get
the taste of power
nothing in life can ever taste better.
Real power, Boris Efendi...
...is to bring down the monster inside you
that screams power, power.
Arm wrestling for the kids is
what is left from what you call power.
There is something
I would like to discuss with you.
-Whenever you want.
-Now.
Go ahead.
Do you know a man named Cavalry Ahmet?
Cavalry Ahmet.
Yes. He was a captain.
He used to work with me years ago.
But as I recall he wasn't
an honest person.
Years ago he swindled me.
He was killed last night.
Why?
Why are you asking me this, Cadi Efendi?
Do you think I was involved?
Boris Zaharyas, be very careful.
I am an inch away from solving
your connection with Emine Hatun.
What I advise is to tell me
everything you know about all this
or the end to this will be the gallows.
Cadi Efendi, I thought
I was cleared of these accusations?
No one is really cleared or guilty yet.
For now at least.
The seal of the Judiciary is in your hands.
So is justice.
I have no doubt that you will do
what is necessary.
Great.
-May I leave?
-You may.
-Have a nice day, sirs.
-Have a nice day.
-Sureyya.
-Boris.
Cadi Giyaseddin.
I have to admit you surprised me
quite a bit as well.
You thought I wouldn't accept
your offer, didn't you?
That way you were going to put
Ethem Efendi
as the head of the executive board.
Now listen to me carefully, Miss Sureyya.
This bank is the Ottoman Empire's
key to salvation.
If you think I am going to let this bank
become a toy for your personal interests
that is what would be surprising.
-What is going on with this man?
-With whom, Boris Efendi?
It makes me wonder what I have done
for you to be able to ask me
every question that
pops into your head, Weasel.
I'm sorry, Boris Efendi.
-Did you take care of the other problem?
-As you ordered.
Filinta Mustafa needs to die.
Do your duty.
Mustafa is your biggest enemy.
He shouldn't live anymore.
Ali.
It'll go away, brother.
It's not going away, my brother.
It's not.
When is this nightmare
going to end, my Mustafa?
Be patient, it will go away.
Sometimes, in my dreams
I see myself killing you.
What you've been through, it's not easy.
I'm like a time bomb that has been set.
What if one day I just blow up?
What if I hurt you, my Mustafa?
I told you before,
your blade can't cut me.
If this hand will have
the blood of his brother...
...may it fall off from its root.
If this blade touches you Ali ,
may it turn into dust.
I'm always by your side.
I'm not going anywhere. Just be patient.
Like everything else, this too shall pass.
God willing.
What's the rush?
Let's see what Yasmin can do?
Good work, Yasmin.
Poison. A small tiny cut
would've been enough to finish me.
Let's leave it here, so they can see
I got their message.
What a nice surprise, Anita.
Did you go out for a walk?
Mayer expects news from me. Outcome?
The outcome is that
the bank's administration is mine.
-Wonderful news.
-But with Cadi Giyaseddin.
That will turn all our plans upside-down.
What plans?
I think you're forgetting that
we gave you the funds for the bank.
I would have wanted you to remind me
of something nicer.
Now go and tell Mayer not to be hasty.
Padishah still has his eyes on us.
Know this Boris Efendi...
...if someone wrongs us,
they pay the price.
I'm not just talking about you,
your beautiful daughter as well.
I wish you knew me better.
Keep on walking.
Soon. Very soon.
What's going on?
We have strict orders from Cadi Efendi,
we can't take our eyes off of you.
If you're bored, take a look at these.
-Ceyrek, what are these?
-Pictures.
Pictures of what?
Killers, thieves, invaders.
Man, the girl's father just died.
Let me take those back, sister.
You smart aleck.
She doesn't sit at all.
What's wrong, sister?
Well, I need to go to the bathroom.
Yes, of course. Please go ahead.
I'll handle this one, Garbis.
What are you trying to say, man?
Don't forget, we have strict orders
from Boris Efendi.
We are on the side of darkness.
But this was our choice.
I used to think there was
no Brotherhood on this side.
After this you go your way, I go mine.
Azad. Azad!
Isn't it taking too long, Ceyrek?
What do you think, I'm keeping time?
Not like that, son.
But isn't it weird waiting like this?
Yeah, it does. Let's go inside and wait.
Sure, you're so right.
-Like you know everything.
-Ok, you imp, I didn't say anything.
Sister, sorry to interrupt but could you
please check on the girl inside?
-I hope nothing happened to her.
-There's no one inside.
What?
-No one's there?
-Take a look.
Mother!
Zeyrek my man, she ran away
using the window.
Cadi Efendi is going to kill us.
He's going to kill us.
And you are going to kill me, Ceyrek.
Let's go find the girl. Run.
Yes, run. Dear God!
-Chief.
-Woe to me.
What happened to you guys?
-Chief, remember the girl named Gonca?
-Yes.
Well, she ran away
out the bathroom window.
She ran off on us.
God, give me patience.
-What are we going to do, chief?
-What are we going to do?
Look there is a bakery across the street.
Go there and drink a cold lemonade.
Don't stress over small things like this.
Sit, relax, freshen up.
What do you mean, what are we going to do?
-Go look for her!
-Now, go!
Yes, my Chief.
-Mustafa.
-If she knows where Boris is
she's going to go and get her revenge.
Let's go to the Police Station
and let Cadi Efendi know
and alert all the officers.
The British slowly started
to tighten up their circle around me.
I am sure that they most probably
started planning how
they will blame me for
the Padishah's assassination.
You did a good job, Yasmin.
I lost count of how many assassinations
I've come across since I got to Istanbul.
Getting away from Istanbul
for a little while
might be good for you, Miss Sureyya.
Do you know how many years
I've been waiting to come back here?
All alone, as a child,
I was dreaming about coming back
to Istanbul when I was on my own.
But I knew if I came back powerless
it wouldn't have been worth anything.
I thought of every last detail.
I got rich. I got powerful.
Then I came back to Istanbul.
And now you are telling me
that leaving would be a good idea.
You want a child to give up on dreams.
That is the hardest thing in the world.
Ethem Efendi. What happened?
Enter.
Sir, Gonca ran away.
I know about the situation, sons.
When Zeyrek and Ceyrek come back
to the police station
they're going to be in trouble.
What did you guys find?
The deceased Cavalry Ahmet
was working for Boris.
-He was working as a smuggler.
-Is that so?
-Is there any evidence?
-Sir, you know Hamdi Agha is a witness.
Hamdi, a witness?
Hamdi Agha is never a witness,
he can't be.
Darkness is coming, sons.
We need to be careful.
Let's not stumble and fall,
when we strike.
If we go with rumors,
how can we bring justice?
You're right, sir.
Cavalry Ahmet and Boris
having a past of 15 years
doesn't show that he killed him.
Is there anything else?
Gonca will get her revenge.
-By killing Boris.
-Exactly.
Sir, let's get all the officers
on Boris' back. He might be in danger.
I don't think that will be necessary.
Why, sir?
You will solve this problem, sons.
There's no need to cause a riot
when it's not needed.
You will find Gonca and bring her to me.
Yes, sir.
If you'll excuse us.
I'm sorry to bother you again,
Miss Sureyya.
How can I help you, Sir Rhodes?
Just give up this bank job, won't you.
Sir Rhodes, you tried
to have me killed today.
Of course not!
Please don't underestimate me.
Look, this assassination thing
is not a job for you.
You have been failing a lot.
I will only make this offer now.
The ground is slippery.
If we make even one mistake,
it will make us suspects.
To prevent this
we need to get even closer to our enemies.
Without forgetting that
they are our enemies.
Boris will be sentenced to death
very soon.
And you will back down from becoming
a partner in the bank.
And why would I do that?
Your fleets of ships,
your investments in Europe...
If you do not back down
from that bank job,
Britain will use all of its power
to ensure that you go bankrupt.
You cannot resist us.
Sir Rodes,
you are a politician from the
conservative wing in Britain,
which means you are a hawk.
For us, Britain's interests are
above all else.
But you are a minority
in the House of Lords
as well as the House of Commons.
For now.
Sir Rodes,
if I withdraw my fleet
from the British colony,
you will not be able to
carry any goods at least for one year.
If Britain cannot carry goods,
it cannot do any business.
If Britain cannot do business, its economy
will sustain tremendous losses.
That means, Sir Rodes,
that if you meddle in my affairs,
I will cause a loss so immense
that the liberals in Parliament will claw
your hawk eyes right out
Now,
you are not the first person
to come here to threaten me,
nor will you be the last.
I do not buy into these kinds of threats.
You know the way out.
We will meet again.
I look forward to it!
The only enemy from whom I am certain to
receive a blow is Sureyya.
She would attack me from the front.
Because she'd rather see the expression
on my face when I am dying
than getting me killed from behind.
That means Weasel...
the real danger will come from those
who would stab me in the back.
We must be very careful with them.
The British...
The British...
Sureyya is a formidable adversary.
Boris Zaharyas?
Boris Zaharyas...
He has made the biggest mistake of his
life by allying himself with the Germans.
Esat Pasha may have arrested him today.
Those who believe themselves to be strong
will inevitably look stupid,
and those who try to pretend to look
strong will inevitably be liars.
You are a great woman.
Boris doesn't have any friends.
But he does have many enemies.
And because of the bank, his friends
overseas are now his enemies.
He should proceed very carefully.
And Ethem Efendi
the British want to dig Boris's grave.
He would come close to us.
From now on, I would like to
continue on my own.
I do not want any mistakes at this time.
Do not disappoint me.
Aye, Boris Efendi.
Although Father Giyasettin
appears composed,
he is very angry with us, brother.
Of course he is.
We managed to let that little girl slip
right through our fingers
-in that the police office.
-May God not let you down, Mustafa.
Ali, we must be going.
We must go anywhere Boris could have gone.
We must find that poor girl before
she does gets herself into any mischief.
Come on.
There are now two matters requiring
our attention.
The first is to find the murderer of
Bali Hatun.
And the second is the genealogy
of this birth certificate.
Mustafa's past.
Abdullah, you will investigate
this matter.
I don't know how you will be able to
find it among so many names.
If the name is written here and
we are destined to find it,
it does not matter who that
son of Adam is, we will find him.
As the Cadi Giyasettin ordered,
no one will enter here but you,
and no one will know you are here.
Very well.
A prince, a king, or a pauper;
what force renders all of these men equal?
Death, Supreme Master.
Our sacred causes give you worth
when you are worthless,
granting you, a mortal, with immortality.
Speak, Boris Zaharyas.
I was chosen to head the committee
that managed the bank but was ultimately
unable to influence them
as I had hoped, Supreme Master.
We know this.
Our failures have led the way
for centuries, Boris Zaharyas.
Go on.
The other headman is
Cadi Giyasettin Hatemi.
Perfect, Boris Efendi, perfect!
You have successfully fulfilled the duties
we have assigned to you.
Upon the recommendation
of Alexander and Ismail,
you will no longer sit across from me,
you will sit next to me, Boris Zaharyas.
Sit.
Our plans are not limited to the Ottomans.
We want to rule the entire world.
You have earned your place among the
brothers now.
This is a great responsibility for you,
Boris Zaharyas.
We have great dreams for you.
I found it.
Well done, Abdullah.
Good boy!
A prince, a king, or a pauper;
What force renders all men equal?
Death, the Supreme Master..
What, you mortal? Did I scare you?
I was not expecting you, Cadi Efendi.
Hush.
Oh and by the way,
I found Mustafa's genealogy.
Now we know who his family members are,
where they come from.
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
You cannot take your revenge like this.
Do you understand me?
I am not a coward like you, okay?
Give my gun back to me and I will
show you what I am capable of!
Look at me!
Watch your tongue or I'll teach you
a lesson.
He murdered my father!
He murdered my father! He did it!
Let go of me!
He murdered my father!
It is over...
That's enough.
You have a guest, Boris Efendi.
Welcome to my house, Sureyya.
Today is full of surprises.
What can I do for you? What do you want?
You won't believe me but I want to
help you.
The British are after you.
Do you think I am not aware?
They want to take over the bank.
There is nothing I want more than
to destroy you,
but this matter is more important
than our enmity.
If the British
manage to take over the bank,
they will overthrow the Ottoman Empire.
What a refreshing change of pace it is
to share the same opinion for once.
I am setting our enmity aside, Boris.
But only until this matter is resolved.
I've had friends, and I've had enemies.
But time changes everything.
The noose I once put around Mustafa's neck
is now being placed around mine
by the British.
You have been following me
since this morning.
I was wondering when you'd come out.
Do you ever think of death?
All the time.
Do you ever wish you were dead?
For your loved ones not to get harmed?
If you want I can relieve you
of it without any pain.
I have gone and come back once, brother.
Death is not an end for the people
like us, it is a beginning.
Save that bullshit for the birds.
How shall we do it?
However you see fit.
Perhaps this is the most auspicious
option.
To die without harming your loved ones.
Perhaps the most auspicious option.
To die without harming your loved ones.
And you?
Have you ever thought of death?
The peace...
The peace.
Sureyya Hanim,
Cadi Giyasettin is expecting you.
What is this in regards to?
He will tell that himself.
Wait here.
Our sacred causes make you
worthwhile while you are worthless,
granting you, a mortal, with immortality.
You have successfully fulfilled
the duties we have assigned to you.
You will no longer sit across from me,
you will sit next to me, Boris Zaharyas.
Our plans are not limited
to the Ottoman Empire.
We want to rule the entire world.
You have earned your place
among the brothers now.
This is a great responsibility for you,
Boris Zaharyas.
We have great dreams for you.
Sorry for making you come
all the way here, Sureyya Hanim.
Come in and take a seat at the table,
Sureyya Hanim.
I wouldn't want to disturb you.
What disturbance? Please come in.
-Welcome.
-Welcome.
Welcome.
It has been a long time since
I've sat at a table like this.
-Thank you!
-Enjoy your meal!
If you'll excuse me, I'd like to speak
with you a moment.
-Of course.
-After you.
This way please.
Sureyya Hanim,
the reason I've asked you here
is to discuss the beautiful girl
sitting inside: Gonca.
I do not know how to explain this,
but I believe that Boris may have had
her father murdered.
But we do not have any evidence
to support this claim.
This beautiful girl has been orphaned,
she is motherless and fatherless.
She needs someone to protect her.
You want me to protect her?
You are in no way obligated to do so.
Yet another victim of Boris's.
I accept.
God bless you.
You too, Cadi Efendi.
Hodja,
we would like to leave if you'll
excuse us.
Why? Where are you going?
Hodja, we have some things to do.
You have things to do and request
my permission to leave.
You are excused.
Come in, aide.
What happened, what do you want?
But, you...
Sir Henry...
seeing you here...
I am surprised, to be honest.
We did not realize you would cause
so many problems
when we sent you as an ambassador.
Problems?
You have failed to stop the establishment
of the bank.
You tried to assassinate the Padishah
twice, and both times you failed.
And we were not even informed
of the last assassination attempt.
In short,
I have been specially chosen by the Queen
to clear all of the chaos
that you have created.
Mistake after mistake.
Sometimes you need to take initiative,
you know this very well.
When you take an initiative, you also
must have a valid result. Just like I do.
What do you mean?
You will soon understand.
As I told you,
when you take the initiative,
you also must have a valid result.
This is Gonca.
She will be staying with us from now on.
Set aside the back bedroom for her.
You must be tired.
Get some rest. We'll speak later.
-What is going on?
-What is going on?
I remember you now, Riza.
That is what's going on.
I told you this day would come.
The person who killed Sergeant Hasan is,
Anita von Wilhelm.
You are going to let Mustafa
hear about this.
Consider it done!
