WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH

OF THIS GREAT NATION
WHO LOST THEIR LIVES
IN THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE.
FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY
What the hell are you going to do now?
You bastard!
How could you do this to Ali?
How could you? Bastard!
How? How did you do this? To Ali!
Son. Stop. Don't.
You buried Ali. You sent me to be hanged.
Now you defend this cursed, Cadi Efendi?
Son. How would we be any different
from the cursed we become
if we killed him?
Does justice require this?
Don't.
We have seized him.
We did seize him. Don't.
Hasan. Take him into custody.
Come now.
My apologies, sir.
Forgive me.
Son. Fury is like fire
which burns first where it's lit
then a spark may or may not
reach the enemy.
God tests you with fire.
Thank God, we have passed it.
Come now.
Ibn-i Sa'd's manuscript of the Quran
will arrive next week.
You may buy it, when you come
next week. Okay?
-Yes, sir.
-Goodbye.
-Are you buying?
-Yes.
Thank you.
May I help you?
I am looking for
One Thousand and One Nights
by Harun Resid.
The Guardian figurine.
A delicate piece.
But you are at the wrong place.
Is that so?
That miniature was given
as a gift to Louis XIV.
Now it rests at the Bibliotheque National
in Paris.
I guess you knew that already.
I was only testing your knowledge.
I bear no malice.
Why are you here, then?
And will you be paying for
the book that you took?
You were facing away. How did you see?
You have the eyes of an eagle,
considering your age.
I apologize.
I'll tell you what I want.
I am looking for the Guardian.
Stop, please. What're you doing?
Do you have any idea how many people
like you have come to this shop?
-I was only...
-I know.
You are looking for the Guardian. We'll
talk first, then you'll meet your God.
Rookies. And he's defiling my shop now.
Cadi Giyaseddin and Filinta Mustafa
have caught Riza in the Galata quarter.
They say he's lying unconscious
in the jail.
You said he would sink without a trace.
Did he not?
Fury is for the fool.
And accepting the facts is for the smart.
Okay.
Now, find Esat Pasha immediately.
Wherever he is, whatever he is doing,
tell him to drop it.
Tell him "now".
Get out.
Stand.
How could you do that to him?
How could you do that to Ali?
Look at me.
Look me in the eye, Riza!
Did we not share everything we had?
How could you do this to Ali, Riza?
Shame on you!
Bastard.
Who's going to save you now, Riza?
Minister, sir.
Unshackle the Field Marshal Riza.
-How could you unshackle this bastard?
-Did he behave viciously?
How can you batter Riza, just because
he gave evidence against you?
Actually, I should have you arrested.
-Thank Cadi Efendi.
-Minister, sir, this cursed...
Enough. Can you not see the situation
you've put the Ottoman Empire in?
A convicted felon like you,
beats up an officer.
Do you have proof about Riza
having given false testimony?
Two dead men were found
in front of his house.
-What will you say to this?
-Self-defense.
An honorable officer like Riza
must have a lot of enemies.
Right.
If you approach Riza
for whatever reason
I'll execute your death warrant at once.
Did you hear me, Mustafa?
You are dismissed.
You can't escape me.
Remember that.
-Thank you, Minister, sir.
-Take Riza to my office.
Watch him closely,
for he tends to run away often.
I have some work to do.
Then we will talk in private.
-7th.
-What?
You are the 7th one to reach me so far.
How could you do this?
Look. I am a mere adventurer
pursuing a legend. Please.
I say...
-...how did you find me?
-Are you insane?
-How did you find me?
-Okay, okay.
Antonio Gallant, who translated
One Thousand and One Nights
gave the four miniature pieces
to Louis XIV as a present.
The Mason, the Guardian,
the Key-maker and the Architect.
Yes.
The protectors of secrets are
in Istanbul.
So?
The Mason disappeared
in the XIII century.
Most probably, he was killed in 1203
during the crusades
-protecting the secret.
-In 1204.
It may be true. Look. Somebody
sold me the map of the Mason
-in St. Petersburg last month.
-Who?
I don't know. The map is in
my inner pocket. Have a look at it?
Look, Guardian, or whatever your name is.
My name is Otto Petrovic.
My family is wealthy.
We have mines in Siberia.
I am only interested in those artefacts.
I mean no harm. I'm sorry.
Please, release me and
I'll make you rich. So rich!
You'll go away and won't tell anyone
a thing, right, Otto Petrovic?
Yes.
And you'll get off this job's tail,
right?
Yes.
Please, don't kill me. Please.
Don't kill me.
Please.
We have been on watch
for hundreds of years.
Do you know how long we have been
searching for this piece?
Unfortunately, I cannot spare your life.
You've done us a great favor.
And you'll die knowing that.
Do not walk upon the earth exultantly.
Indeed, you will never tear
the earth apart
and you will never reach
the mountains so high.
Surah Al-Isra. But...
My family has successfully kept
the secret for centuries.
But you are arrogant, Guardian.
That was your mistake.
You have given me what I needed.
I thank you.
Now we swap places.
These secret meetings we hold have
started to raise alarms, Cadi Efendi.
If anyone knows that I've spilt the beans,
they'll ridicule me.
Do not dismay, Hamdi.
I have come to thank you.
I said where Riza was hiding.
You'll handle the rest.
We caught Riza.
But he has been taken from us.
That is not my problem anymore.
Hamdi. Know where you stand.
Either you are with us,
or you are against us.
Now, tell me, is there anything else
you can say about this matter?
This is everything I know, Cadi Efendi.
So be it.
Thank you for the map, Guardian.
And about your wound.
I am adept at this sort of thing.
The blade did not slash
any of your organs.
We have a lot to talk about, do we not?
-Who are you?
-Otto Petrovitch.
But I was not very honest with you
about my family.
My father was a potato farmer.
I have never known my mother.
She died when I was little.
But my father made a wise move
and sent me to military school.
Then we went into battle
and then into another.
In the end, the Tsar sent us
to Crimea to be butchered.
Have you ever gone into battle?
I can see it from your eyes
that you have never been in a battle.
I'm happy for you. I mean it.
One should not be deceived
by what is said about battles.
Glory, bravery, heroism...
Big talk, big lies.
What you see on the battlefield is
cowardice, insidiousness
foulness and men shitting their pants.
In that very moment, I discovered
the talent I was born with.
Won't you ask what it is?
C'mon. Join in the conversation.
It's so boring this way.
Okay, okay. What talent?
Killing.
I never feel remorse when I kill.
I almost like it.
Be it a man, woman or child.
It makes no difference to me.
And another advantage that war brings is
whenever you want to disappear...
-...you actually can.
-How did you disappear?
I was expecting this question. Easy.
I sent the riders under my command
to set up an ambush, willingly.
The cannon fire was so strong that
even pieces of the horses weren't found.
Rest was easy.
I decided to sell my skills
to the highest bidder
instead of the Tsar.
You kill people for money.
Not only for money, I also enjoy it.
-Who hired you?
-See.
Now you are beginning to unwind.
Nothing cheers me up more than
a friendly conversation.
Yet my questions are a bit more
important than yours.
Where's the key?
You will never find the answer,
even if you kill me.
No.
I don't think so.
Keep your eyes on me.
Here?
Isn't it?
You, Guardian!
It's here, isn't it?
I'm worn to the bone.
Lara.
Come nanny.
-Lara. Wait.
-What do you want?
You never reply to my letters
or want to see me.
-So, what?
-So, I'm expecting an excuse.
-What excuse am I to give you?
-What do you mean, what excuse?
Of course, you will. Don't you get it?
Look! I'm already breathing fire.
Leave the girl. Go away.
God help him.
Isn't that the officer that snuck out
of my father's party?
Why hit my fiancée?
-Your fiancée?
-Your fiancée?
I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
Everything seems to have concurred today.
Good day.
Your fiancée? Yes, I am.
Good. It's time you came around.
If you behave too coyly
you will lose your lover.
Get off! You prick!
Is that so? Then tell your father
that he'll have hard time
seeing the middleman from now on.
-You've been too harsh on him.
-He deserved it.
Not on the middleman, I mean on Mustafa.
Did you think I wouldn't figure out that
we have been loitering about for Mustafa?
-Nanny.
-Yes?
Has he become too cold for me?
As long as you stay this pretty,
you'd light the fire in him again.
Don't worry.
-Is that so?
-Yes.
My beautiful daughter.
Your father will explore
when he's heard about today.
Let's go home. Come on.
Believe me, I thought
I would have harder time.
But it was easy.
Thank you for this.
I think I owe you an explanation.
I can't tell you who hired me because
I do not know either. Really.
I won't ask questions
as long as I'm paid.
About how I found you. You were
being followed for a long time.
-What?
-Surprised?
Since you think you're so smart,
don't you?
But you didn't even notice a thing.
Actually, the secret you have been
keeping, the great treasure
the manuscripts snatched from
the burnt Library of Alexandria
all those valuable records
from the first version of the bible
to Book of the Dead.
Why not share these with people?
Because mankind is not yet ready
to know about certain things.
How do you know?
You made your decisions centuries ago.
You're selfishly keeping all of it
to yourselves.
Small games, small mysteries.
You're history.
You don't know what's happening
around the world.
For instance...
...this.
An explosive of nitroglycerine.
A chemist invented it some years ago.
You wouldn't believe the destruction
this small thing brings along
with its shockwaves.
You bastard.
I'm doing you a favor.
I'm ending your watch.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'll have to pay a visit to the Key-maker.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
Esat Pasha,
are all the preparations ready...
...for my ambassadors meeting tomorrow?
My Sultan, I had the Topkapi Palace
prepared as you commanded.
Good, good.
I do not want anything to go wrong.
As you wish, my Sultan.
Cadi Efendi, I am sorry to say that
we have four dead and twelve injured.
Five of them are very critical.
Who would want to blow up a bookstore?
Hasan, I see that
there are a lot of these around.
The police are handling it,
Cadi Efendi.
Good. Have them all collected
and then burned.
I don't want even one of them left.
As you wish.
Let's look inside, sir.
Do you know where you are?
So, why are you here?
Don't be afraid.
You don't think I'm going to kill you
in the office...
...of the Minister of Internal Affairs,
do you?
Then what do you want from me?
Who do you think saved you from Mustafa?
The minute I change the stakes...
...you will fall right back into
Giyaseddin and Mustafa's hands.
Do you want to confess your crimes?
No.
Good.
Because if something like that happens...
...you will be the one being hanged,
not Mustafa.
Then what is it you want from me?
For you to live.
You being dead would cause
a bigger problem...
...then you being alive, Riza.
You will enter into Esat Pasha's service.
Just as you promised,
you are going to rise up.
Now go home, take a shower, and get clean.
Spruce up a little.
And you are going to save yourself
from this morphine addiction.
Do you think you can show courage
and use your brain?
You would need a warehouse full of
gunpowder for an explosion like this.
Very odd.
What's odd about it, chief?
There is no gunpowder residue or smell.
And also, where are
the gunpowder barrels that blew up?
Sir, this is not gunpowder.
It might be hydro glycerin
a new and hazardous explosive material.
Mustafa, cruel people always find
new disastrous ways to destroy things.
Well, what do you think they had here?
There was mystery here Mustafa.
Legends, superstitions, secrets...
Some people look for the truth
in the dark rather than the light.
Istanbul, with its past,
is an archaic city...
...full of legends, secrets...
...and people who try to protect them.
Chief, I think we found the last victim.
Who is the real owner of the store?
A man named Nevzat.
A very old bookseller.
This bookstore has been in his family
for centuries.
Who was the last person
that came into the store?
Are there any witnesses?
No, chief. No one remembers anything
because of all the panic.
What's wrong, sir?
Our Padishah Efendi
has a meeting tomorrow...
...at the Topkapi Palace
with the ambassadors.
I think they may be trying
to mess with our heads.
Hasan, tell Zeyrek and Ceyrek
to bring all the books they can save...
...to the police station,
and get the coach ready.
We are going to go see
the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Yes, sir.
Mustafa...
...take this to Abdullah Efendi.
Let's see what he has to say.
As you wish.
Perfect. Really, it is perfect.
How do you make this?
We have our secrets, sir.
This city has so many secrets.
I've found your symbol at last, Key-maker.
Then I guess I have to visit
the Key-maker as well.
Good day. Otro Petrocelli.
I need to see the manager.
The manager is not available right now.
Could you please give this envelope
to him immediately.
Trust me, it is very important.
Fine, wait here.
Come in.
I am very sorry, Mr. Tahsin.
There is a man who would like to see you.
Who is it?
A man named Otro Petrocelli.
I don't know him.
Tell him to make an appointment.
As you wish.
He gave me an envelope to give to you.
Do you want it, sir?
Manager, sir.
-Who did you say it was?
-Otro Petrocelli.
-Tell him to come in.
-Yes, sir.
I am looking for the Key-maker.
I guess you must be Guardian,
since you sent me this.
Guardian Otro Petrocelli, at your service.
-I'm guessing that is not your real name.
-No such thing.
My name is Otro Petrecelli.
My dad had a lot of land in Piamonte.
We were very rich...
...up until the Italian War of
Independence.
Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side.
My dad thought
the Austrians were going to win.
Well, what can you do?
It could happen to anyone.
Have you ever been at war Key-maker?
I don't believe in a word you say.
You are smarter than the other one.
The situation became very sensitive.
That is why I want to read
this paper that was given to me...
...so I don't do anything wrong.
With your permission...
In the year 1204 during the...
...Crusades the Secret
Protecting Families of Istanbul...
...cut the map into four pieces.
Mason, Guardian, Key-maker and Architect.
And so on...
We already know all this. Okay.
The Mason's piece of the map
was taken by the Knights Templar.
But the Guardian, the Key-maker
and The Architect had theirs...
...in their possession.
Is that true?
Continue!
These families can only come together
for one reason...
...when the time comes
for the secrets to be explained.
The moment the key is given to
the Key-maker, he is obligated...
...to do what the Guardian says,
no questions asked.
Right?
-Right.
That is why the Key-maker family
has to put their symbol...
...on whatever work they do,
so that when the time comes...
...the Guardian can find them.
I found you and brought your key,
so that makes me the Guardian.
Who else could have found the Key-maker.
First of all,
I want you to put your gun down.
For a moment there I thought
you were actually going to shoot me.
What do you want?
First, I want your piece of the map.
Then, I want to know
where I can find the Architect.
No one knows who the Architect is.
Then I want you to find the Architect.
Come in.
Pasha, your Highness
Cadi Giyaseddin would like to see you.
Send him in.
Greetings, Pasha, your Highness.
Greetings, Cadi Efendi.
Why is it that you come to the Palace
more than I do?
We would not have bothered you
if it wasn't important.
What is the problem this time?
Is it Mustafa again?
We think that the Padishah
is being targeted to be killed.
Really? So you think...
Do you have any evidence?
It depends on the status of the evidence.
Depends on the status of the evidence?
Ok, then who is
the one that is targeting the Padishah?
We are investigating that as well,
Pasha, your highness.
Good.
So how is this person we don't know
and don't have evidence...
...on going to kill the Padishah?
-If I could see our Padishah Efendi...
-You will tell him about the nuisance.
Cadi Efendi...
...you cannot just see the Padishah
whenever you please.
The ministers before me
have wrongly accustomed you.
-Never!
-I am not done yet.
I know the special situation
between you and the Padishah.
You have been his Hodja.
But the Government has its own way
of operating.
After this, you will come and see me
first regarding any of these problems.
And if I find it appropriate, then you can
go into the presence of the Padishah.
Some of us do not care
about the money...
...clothing, or status, Esat Pasha.
We know our place and position.
Thankfully.
And you should know that...
we don't fail to respect the ones...
...who deserve it.
What I will say now is that
a crazy man with explosives in his hand...
...has turned Istanbul upside down.
Our Padishah Efendi is in his sights.
If I were you, I would double the gunmen
that protects our Padishah.
Now wait just a minute, Cadi Efendi.
Don't cross that bridge
till you come to it.
Minister, your highness, there was
an explosion today at a bookstore...
...in Galata. This is what we have left
from the explosion.
If you'll excuse me.
Assistant!
Yes Pasha.
Bring two battalions of soldiers
quietly to Dolmabahce Palace...
...from Selimiye Quarters. Tell them
not to let even a bird fly by.
And also, get permission
from our Highness Azra.
Let him know that I need to see him
urgently.
As you wish Pasha, your highness.
Get my coach ready,
I will be leaving soon.
As you command.
Ready, I'm taking it.
I took it. There!
The photo shoot is done Aghas,
you can let go now.
He needs to let go first. Let go.
No way, you need to let go first.
-You first.
-No, you first.
-No, you.
-No, you.
-You.
-You.
-You're going to let go.
-You're going to let go.
Aghas...
Aghas, could you take this outside?
-He'd run away from me.
-You'd be the one that runs.
Aghas, Aghas...
I have an idea, you should wrestle
at the Pera circle, for example.
That way the people can decide
who will run and who won't.
Lions! You are lions! Ferocious lions!
Go on then.
I have been trying to take
that photograph for two hours.
This is not the job for making money.
What brings you here, Filinta?
Sepshir Sword.
Where did you find that?
There was an explosion at the bookstore.
I found it there.
No way!
I never knew that!
Come with me.
Sepshir, sepshir.
Did anyone survive the explosion?
If you're asking about the shop owner,
he is dead.
Abdullah, I've never seen you
like this before.
Sepshir. Seven lions, it is shown
on the sword with the lions tale.
Do you see it?
Syrian steel.
Jamal Vahrada had it made.
Only one was made.
It is said that the sword smith
who made this cut his hand...
...so he would not make another one.
And what is a sword like this
doing at a bookstore.
Mustafa, Istanbul is full of secrets
and people who guard them.
That's exactly what Cadi Efendi said.
This sword was given to only one family.
The Guardian family.
If you found this sword,
that means the Guardian is dead.
What Guardian?
Abdullah?
Please for the love of God, tell me.
In the Byzantine period...
...they believed there were four families
that protected secrets.
The Mason died in the year 1204,
and now today the Guardian has died.
There are two more people in danger...
...The Key-maker and the Architect.
Here. Did you happen to find
a key like this in the shop?
I don't think so,
but the store is a wreck.
You won't find it.
The Key-maker is either dead
or about to die.
The manager fell ill.
Manager, sir.
Manager, sir.
Manager, sir.
Oh God.
In 1532, Emperor Justinian assigned
physicist Isidorus...
...and mathematician Anthemius
to build the Hagia Sophia.
The Emperor had one more purpose:
to build underground passages...
...that connected districts in Istanbul.
This way, they could have their army...
...go through these passages to take
whoever wants to invade Istanbul...
...by surprise.
When Hagia Sophia was being built...
...at the same time 20,000 slaves
were digging these passages.
Most of them died
while trying to make the passages.
Architect Anthemius got caught
trying to sell the map to the Vatican.
He was killed. Emperor Justinian
understood what he did wrong.
Whoever has this map,
can take hold of Istanbul in one night.
So, they would
fall on their own sword.
In 1204 the Crusaders reached Istanbul.
Out of fear,
the four Secret Protecting Families...
...took the only copy that was made
and divided it into four pieces.
The Mason; when they took
the Mason's piece of the map...
...the crusaders used the passages
to take hold and pillage Istanbul.
Where are the doors to these passages?
According to the data I have...
...one of the doors is at a church
in Sarayburnu.
The church was demolished
during the pillage of Istanbul.
Instead of rebuilding the church...
...Topkapi Palace was built.
This is a serious situation.
We need to go to Cadi Efendi.
Let's go.
Amazing, my friend!
Let's go.
Oh, my pretty girl.
Nanny...
Your father is waiting for you
in the study. Right away.
Such an honor,
the last time I was there I was a child.
Only mademoiselle.
Ok. Nanny, you can wait for me here.
Come in.
Lara.
Father, I'm surprised.
You never ask me to come here.
Yes.
A lot of people
from the business world come here.
Politicians, bankers...
people who do not want to be seen.
That is how the business world is.
That is why I do my business here
and live with you...
...on the other side of the manor.
Okay. So what do I owe this honor to?
You know why you are here.
If this is about Enver...
And as I can see it is...
Daddy, I really don't love him.
Lara.
From what I heard from Enver,
you mistreated the boy.
Does that suit you?
He is a moron.
My pretty girl, we don't live forever.
You are all I have in this world.
You know that, right?
Your mother left us early,
may she rest in peace.
That is why it's best for you
to go into a strong family.
Lara, I...
The business world is like
walking on a thin rope.
If I fall one day,
I don't want to have to look back.
If something happens to me,
the Kabzimanzade family will protect you.
No way!
Enver Kabzimanzade
is going to come by this evening...
...and you will apologize to him.
I shall decide what is best for you.
Don't disappoint me.
You may leave.
Lara...
...don't make me ask you to come here
again.
Don't get up.
What gives?
It's not good, Cadi Efendi.
Abdullah Efendi,
I have never seen you leave the shop.
Go ahead Hasan, tell me.
Today at noon, a bomb exploded
at the Bank of Dersaadet.
Seven dead and many injured.
The explosive looks a lot like
the one at the bookstore.
A man goes into the building,
then he blows the building up...
...so there won't be any witnesses.
Then, leaves this behind.
The Key-maker is gone as well.
Next is the Architect.
The Padishah is in danger.
The assassin could use
the underground passages...
...to get all the way to the palace.
You think so.
Abdullah Efendi,
do you think the map is complete?
What do you think, Cadi Efendi?
Am I the only one
who didn't know about this story?
I don't know it either chief.
If this map really does exist,
the man is still looking for it.
Mustafa and Hasan,
take Abdullah Efendi back to his shop.
And take these two with you.
I don't want them getting in the way.
Tonight,
you can continue your research there.
Keep your eyes open till morning.
Get back to the police station
early morning.
Bring Abdullah Efendi as well.
He will be helpful regarding this matter.
-As you wish.
-As you wish.
Don't worry Abdullah,
I'll solve this case.
You can trust us, Cadi Efendi.
Thank you.
Go on, go.
Your man Cemil,
I am hoping he is trustworthy.
Don't worry.
He is loyal, just like my other men.
What brings you here?
I'm guessing you've heard
about the explosions in Istanbul.
Whoever is behind this is planning
on assassinating the Padishah.
He left this behind.
If Padishah dies now,
it will ruin all my plans.
He still needs to be on the throne.
Well, what are you doing
about this matter?
I sent two battalions to the Palace.
-Good.
-They are securing the place.
I will also talk to the Padishah
and have him stay at the palace...
...until all this is over
and tell him to cancel...
...his meeting with the ambassadors.
Good. Good.
I'll send my men to Istanbul as well
and give them strict orders.
I will let you know if I hear anything.
There is another matter
we need to discuss.
Filinta Mustafa.
Every time you try to kill him,
you create more suspicion.
Pasha, this is a personal matter.
I am not asking what the matter is about.
I am just letting you know that...
...your every move is creating
a bigger issue.
That is what I am saying.
Giyaseddin
is more powerful than you think.
These moves you make
are putting us in danger.
What I suggest is...
Since Mustafa will already be hanged
in less than a year...
...I will get closer to the Padishah
and talk to him about...
...Mustafa's situation once again.
What I want from you...
What I request,
is for you not to do anything.
Yes, let Mustafa die on his own.
Alright.
Anything you say.
But if you let me down
with this Mustafa matter...
...I won't just take away your title...
Cemil.
Take your men and go see
who is behind all these explosions.
Let Azize know she's coming too,
dead or alive it doesn't matter.
As you wish, Mr. Zaharyas.
Boris Efendi takes good care of you.
To what do we owe this honor?
Maybe I want to spend some
quality time with you too. Right?
Can't it be possible?
Do you think that can be possible?
But first we should tend to our business.
Boris Efendi wants you to find someone.
And who is that?
A crazy man.
He blew up Istanbul all day today.
I heard.
He thinks he is going to kill
the Padishah. That is why...
...he wants us to find him
as soon as possible...
...and send him to the other side.
Does he have a description?
What do we need a description for?
You are like a snake,
you're good at sensing trouble.
Since you came into a snake's hole,
you should drink hard.
Maniac.
What the hell is your story?
Don't you ever talk?
He only talks to real men.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
What are you saying Esat Pasha?
My Sultan, I'm sorry to say that
it is a very dangerous situation.
We are sure that the assassin
is after your life.
That is why it would be best if you
stayed in the Palace until it is over.
A single man wants to kill the Padishah
and instead of trying to find him...
...you want me to hide here?
Cadi Giyaseddin agrees.
If you could at least
not go to the ambassadors meeting today...
...at Topkapi Palace.
As we discussed before, I will have
the meeting with the ambassadors today.
If they start thinking that
a Padishah is scared...
...and that he is staying
in his palace like a captive...
...what will people think, Esat Pasha?
A Padishah does not run from a crazy man.
You are going to secure the place
and be by my side!
How does this man see outside?
I can build this too, nothing to it.
Yeah, sure you can, sure you can.
Come on, go.
That's for generating electricity.
Don't turn the knob, you'll get shocked.
What deep thoughts are you thinking?
I'm thinking about why Cadi Efendi
sent us to protect you.
I didn't understand it either.
Protection?
I'm just a simple photographer.
You are a photographer who makes this.
Don't give me that.
Yes, well my brain just works
a little different, that's all.
Cadi Efendi has most likely
already picked up the trail...
...of the guy who turned Istanbul
upside down.
But you, you really haven't spoken
since we got here.
Nothing gets away from you, Mustafa.
Zeyrek!
It's zapping my insides, man!
It's zapping my insides!
It's zapping... Zeyrek!
Come, Zeyrek.
Come on, man. Come.
Mr. Enver, I want to apologize...
...for my behavior earlier today.
Mr. Enver.
What did you say? I couldn't hear you.
You heard what I said.
Oh yes. I was just joking.
Okay, okay, I accept your apology.
But, when we get married Lara
you will complete the education
that your father started for you.
Plus when we get married
my family's power
will pave the way for Mr. Zaharyas.
Right, Mr. Zaharyas?
Aren't you hungry my daughter?
-I don't feel good. Would you excuse...
-You may be excused.
Oh daughters! Right, Mr. Zaharyas?
What can you do?
They're a pain in the neck.
I say let's make a long story short.
Let's have the engagement
by the end of the month
and the wedding right after.
-Are you done?
-Done with what?
Your rudeness.
-No, I was just...
-And you are interrupting me.
You are under my roof.
My daughter apologized
but you didn't even take her seriously.
And about the education I gave...
Is my daughter a dog that you are
questioning the education I gave her?
-You understood me...
-There is one more thing.
"My family's power will pave
the way for you, Mr. Zaharyas."
Would you like me to show you
the real power your family has?
Your family's power compared to my power,
is as low as a rat's stool.
Now you will go tell your carrion father
that because of your misbehavior
The Galata Port will be closed
to your family for two years.
Do you understand me?
And this is a small reminder
so you won't forget.
Cemil!
Throw this scumbag out.
And if you see him near my house
or Lara again, chop his fingers off.
My daughter was right.
He really was a moron.
And Otto Petrosyan wins.
Lads, after a productive day
winning at gambling
must be a great feeling.
You are very lucky.
-And you look tired.
-I had a long journey.
But every time I come to Constantinople
it's worth it.
-You are not from around here?
-No, I come from Athens.
My family has been in Istanbul
for seven generations.
This really is a magical city, isn't it?
I can't even imagine living
somewhere else.
I'm sorry to say that
I have to travel back to Athens
right after the wedding tomorrow.
Wow, tomorrow.
You really did have a long journey
all the way to Istanbul
from Athens just for one day.
As my father used to say,
may he rest in peace
you need to quit while you're ahead.
Of course once I get home
I will have lost at love
after seeing my wife's angry face
because I was late.
I will have to deal with it. Lads.
I'm so sorry. Please forgive my boldness.
The person you were playing with
at the table there
-could he have been the Greek Minister?
-Excuse me?
The man you were playing with...
No, I don't know a thing about him.
I understand.
The Greek Minister's daughter
is getting married tomorrow
at the Patriarchate.
And since I am in Istanbul
I wanted to talk to him
about my family's land in Greece.
I'm sorry. Please let me
introduce myself.
Otto Pieter. I am at your service.
Nice to meet you. I am Azize.
I've never seen you
at this night club before.
I have only been in Istanbul for a week.
My company sent me here to work on the
Istanbul to Baghdad railway systems.
How exciting.
Of course, we have just barely started.
I am hoping the Sultan
will accept our appeal.
-That's too bad.
-Excuse me?
I think you need to change your tailor.
Because the right arm of your jacket
is longer than the left one.
Did you not realize this before?
Only just now when you told me.
You are very careful.
I am very careful regarding
these types of situations.
Nothing gets past me.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
If you'll excuse me.
It was an honor to meet you.
I'm very sorry. It isn't personal.
I can't leave any witnesses behind.
You were just in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
But I have to admit it was well played.
Interesting. You are exactly
where I want you to be.
Husband, you haven't slept yet?
I'm sorry, did i wake you?
What's wrong, what happened?
Government issues. Don't worry about it.
You go ahead and go back to sleep.
Is this issue so serious
that it's keeping you up?
You're right Hatun.
But hopefully everything will work out.
Go back to sleep.
-Greetings.
-Greetings.
Who is it at this hour?
Open the door sister,
it's Cadi Giyaseddin.
Don't be afraid.
No harm will come to you from me.
What is it, why are you
knocking on my door at this hour?
Yours is the only light on
in the neighborhood.
Is your problem so serious
that it keeps you up at this hour?
Cadi Efendi, we've lost my husband.
We've lost everything we had.
Now the landlord wants to evict us.
I can't feed my kids.
What am I going to do
if we get thrown out on the streets?
Sister, if your problems were serious
why did you not come to the Cadi Ministry?
I guess we haven't created
sufficient trust.
It's our fault, please forgive us.
Now...
...please accept this.
Tomorrow morning go do some shopping
for your home and feed your kids.
Then tell your landlord
to come see me Cadi Giyaseddin
at the Cadi ministry,
after morning prayers.
So repeat please. What is my name?
Cadi Giyaseddin.
Good.
Sister, after today whenever you have
a problem you will come to see me.
Know that you are not alone.
First you have God and then you have me.
May God bless you.
May God bless you. Good night.
Maybe.
Maybe there is no need for the Architect.
Here is the Patriarchate.
Come in.
Cadi Efendi, a man named Selami
is here to see you.
Show him in.
You asked for me, Cadi Efendi?
Come sit, let's have a chat.
Are you the man who wants to throw
a widowed woman with two children
-out on the streets?
-But Cadi Efendi.
Don't you know that God loves a house
with fatherless children the most?
But that is how we earn our living.
How many houses do you own?
-Do not lie I'll know if you do.
-Nine.
Nine.
Selami, you are a human being,
this woman cannot pay this rent.
-What will we do now?
-Well we can provide some relief.
-Like what?
-I can lower the rent.
Selami, the house the woman lives in
is yours.
It is your right to ask for rent.
I cannot deny that.
But I recommend that you not take rent
from this woman until she remarries.
How can that be?
Selami, our inner conscience
is higher than some of our legal rights.
And I don't pardon unconscientious
people. You should know that.
-Do not test me.
-No Cadi Efendi, I wouldn't even try.
How could we throw a widowed woman
out on the streets?
Yes, such a charitable person.
I think you should also
help this woman out a little.
Since you get this much rent
from all your other houses.
We can do that as well.
How great that a person listens
and does the right thing.
You may leave.
Yesterday, Azize let him slip away.
Now it's like the ground opened
and swallowed him up.
So he got away from Azize.
He's a hard and fast man.
But since you found his tracks...
...you can bring him in by morning,
right?
Enter.
Mr. Zaharyas, we found this
in front of the door.
-It had your name on it.
-Didn't you see who left it?
-No one saw, sir.
-Bring it here.
I order you not to intervene
in this situation.
This piece of metal is what you are worth.
Mr. Zaharyas?
Pull back your men immediately.
We are not going to intervene
in the situation.
What are you still waiting for?
Pull back your men!
It seems as though Esat Pasha
could not persuade Padishah Efendi.
The Sultan is going to the Topkapi Palace
to meet with the ambassadors.
At the same time the Greek Minister
is marrying off his daughter today
at the Patriarchate. He wants
guards from us for protection.
What a coincidence.
That means we have to protect
the Topkapi Palace and the Patriarchate
at the same time.
There is something I just don't get.
How can a man who doesn't leave
anything behind, declare that
he is going to kill the Padishah?
The man is crazy, Chief.
The starting point of this
is Hagia Sophia.
If the Emperor started
the passages from that point
then there must be a door at Hagia Sophia.
Abdullah, who knows the most
about Hagia Sophia?
Mustafa, go to the Bulgarian Church.
Find Gregory and send my regards to him.
Go on.
Mustafa, be careful.
-How do I look?
-Beautiful, you're beautiful.
Mustafa?
I have to leave urgently. Have a good day.
Mustafa, sir.
I wasn't exactly honest with you.
The man you saw yesterday
is not my fiancée.
Plus, my father told me
not to see him again.
But you need to leave. Go ahead.
And to think we came all this way
to throw ourselves at his feet.
Lara.
You have given me the best news
I've heard today.
I would like to see you again...
...if you also want to see me.
I would really like that.
Then I will contact you
through your nanny.
Is that okay?
It certainly is.
Have a good day.
This not a good sign. Let's go.
Come on.
I guess you weren't that smart, Justinian.
Welcome, how can I help you?
I am Priest Otto Petro.
I come from Bulgaria.
-Welcome. How can I help?
-Since I came all the way to Istanbul
I want to see all the treasures
for myself.
What do you mean by treasures?
Our Churches. Do we have anything
more valuable?
Yes, of course.
This was the symbol of
Justinian's dynasty, right?
That's correct.
Only a few people know that.
Just as I assumed.
Thank you.
I need this key, Priest.
I'm sorry, I can't leave behind a witness.
-Sir Gregory?
-Yes.
Sir Gregory?
-Good day.
-Good day.
Chief Mustafa from Galata.
They told me you are the one
who knows the most about Hagia Sophia.
-Who told you that?
-Abdullah Efendi.
Our trust in Abdullah Efendi is eternal.
Let us sit down.
What would you like to know?
When Emperor Justinian
was building Hagia Sofia
he also was building underground passages.
That's what they say.
Then there must be a door that opens
on to the passages at Hagia Sofia.
There is no door that opens
on to the passages at Hagia Sofia.
-But why?
-Because Hagia Sofia is of no importance.
It was just built
in the middle of the city.
They say Justinian made four doors
at Istanbul's four corners.
-And he hid these doors.
-Where are the doors?
One of the doors is in the Pera area,
the other is on top of a fort
in Sarayburnu.
So now the Topkapi Palace
is built on top of it.
That's correct. The other is at the top,
where the Patriarchate is.
The Patriarchate?
-What year was the church built?
-In 1848.
It was built on top of the old wooden
church that was erected in 534.
Look Sir Gregory, if there is a door
leading to the passages under this church
you need to show it to me.
The Padishah is in danger.
You need to give your word to keep this
secret under the roof of this church.
I swear to the one God
in the name of the Holy Quran
that your secret is safe with me.
Is your Church normally this empty?
The Greek Minister's daughter
is getting married at the Patriarchate.
Almost all of Athens is there today.
All the priests
and all of the congregations
will be there.
What about you?
I cannot leave my door, Mustafa Efendi.
This is my duty.
Mustafa Efendi, you need to know
these passages are like Labyrinths.
You can get lost easily without the map.
Listen closely to me.
Make three lefts from here.
Then make two rights.
You will come to a junction.
If you go left
you will come out underneath
Topkapi Palace
and if you go right
you will get to the Patriarchate.
-Thank you.
-God speed, Mustafa.
Here we go.
Left.
Left.
Now right.
Now left is the Topkapi Palace...
...and right is the Patriarchate.
Right here.
There's something I just don't get.
How can a man who doesn't leave
anything behind
declare that he is going to kill
the Padishah?
The Greek minister's daughter
is getting married at the Patriarchate.
Almost all of Athens is there.
This man is leading us astray.
His purpose is not to kill the Padishah.
If I'm wrong, then may God help us.
Yes, Padishah Efendi.
Since he is not here...
I guess it's not that thin.
Let's get this wedding started.
Stop!
Who are you? Although,
I'm usually the one they ask this to.
Galata Chief Mustafa.
Who the heck are you?
Pleased to meet you. I am...
Well, it's not that important.
What's important is my friend.
I haven't named him yet.
But I guess you've seen what it can do.
Throw your gun towards me.
We came to this path to be Martyrs.
If you blow it up we both die.
But the ones on the other side
of the door will suffer as well.
I have a bag full of them.
Decide quickly. There are innocents
behind this door.
Calm down, we still have some time.
Don't do anything hasty.
What do you want from the Patriarchate?
Phew, that was close.
Me? Nothing.
But the people who hired me
really want a Balkan War to start.
That is my prediction.
There is already unrest in the Balkans.
Killing the Patriarch
and the Greek Minister
will provide reasons for the war to start.
Barbaric Turks! They killed the Patriarch
and the Minister.
By the time the truth comes out,
the Serbians, Bulgarians and the Greeks
will be battering down
the gates of Istanbul.
Nice gun.
Bravo, you're a smart kid.
You found me when everyone
was protecting the Padishah.
You bastard. Because of you
thousands of people will die!
Have you ever been to war?
Oh forget it, this time
I'm going to cut it short.
I guess you're not as smart as
you thought.
You can't escape from here.
Everyone down on the ground!
Everyone down on the ground!
The coast is clear.
You can get up now.
Are you okay, my daughter?
How about you, my son?
I wish the bride and groom happiness.
If you'll excuse me.
So this disgusting man
was going to start a Balkan war.
We haven't really solved this
until we find out who hired him.
Whoever that is...
...he's probably already
working on a new plan.
We'll find him.
So, how did you find the door
to the passages?
I understand.
Some things just have to remain secret.
That is correct, Cadi Efendi.
If you'll excuse me.
-Of course.
-Mustafa, I will see you later.
Go on then, Mustafa.
We still have a lot of work to do.
If you touch me, you will be hanged.
You are never going to change,
are you Riza?
You're still a coward.
That day was our beginning, Riza.
A dishonest man like you
cannot take my life.
Come, come. Don't be afraid.
Every time you look back you will see me.
You will look for me in every shadow.
You will never be able to be alone.
You will remember me
with every breath you take.
Because you are a coward.
Now go.
Riza!
Your punishment in this world is me.
Don't forget that.
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
What the hell are you going to do now?
You bastard!
How could you do this to Ali?
How could you? Bastard!
How? How did you do this? To Ali!
Son. Stop. Don't.
You buried Ali. You sent me to be hanged.
Now you defend this cursed, Cadi Efendi?
Son. How would we be any different
from the cursed we become
if we killed him?
Does justice require this?
Don't.
We have seized him.
We did seize him. Don't.
Hasan. Take him into custody.
Come now.
My apologies, sir.
Forgive me.
Son. Fury is like fire
which burns first where it's lit
then a spark may or may not
reach the enemy.
God tests you with fire.
Thank God, we have passed it.
Come now.
Ibn-i Sa'd's manuscript of the Quran
will arrive next week.
You may buy it, when you come
next week. Okay?
-Yes, sir.
-Goodbye.
-Are you buying?
-Yes.
Thank you.
May I help you?
I am looking for
One Thousand and One Nights
by Harun Resid.
The Guardian figurine.
A delicate piece.
But you are at the wrong place.
Is that so?
That miniature was given
as a gift to Louis XIV.
Now it rests at the Bibliotheque National
in Paris.
I guess you knew that already.
I was only testing your knowledge.
I bear no malice.
Why are you here, then?
And will you be paying for
the book that you took?
You were facing away. How did you see?
You have the eyes of an eagle,
considering your age.
I apologize.
I'll tell you what I want.
I am looking for the Guardian.
Stop, please. What're you doing?
Do you have any idea how many people
like you have come to this shop?
-I was only...
-I know.
You are looking for the Guardian. We'll
talk first, then you'll meet your God.
Rookies. And he's defiling my shop now.
Cadi Giyaseddin and Filinta Mustafa
have caught Riza in the Galata quarter.
They say he's lying unconscious
in the jail.
You said he would sink without a trace.
Did he not?
Fury is for the fool.
And accepting the facts is for the smart.
Okay.
Now, find Esat Pasha immediately.
Wherever he is, whatever he is doing,
tell him to drop it.
Tell him "now".
Get out.
Stand.
How could you do that to him?
How could you do that to Ali?
Look at me.
Look me in the eye, Riza!
Did we not share everything we had?
How could you do this to Ali, Riza?
Shame on you!
Bastard.
Who's going to save you now, Riza?
Minister, sir.
Unshackle the Field Marshal Riza.
-How could you unshackle this bastard?
-Did he behave viciously?
How can you batter Riza, just because
he gave evidence against you?
Actually, I should have you arrested.
-Thank Cadi Efendi.
-Minister, sir, this cursed...
Enough. Can you not see the situation
you've put the Ottoman Empire in?
A convicted felon like you,
beats up an officer.
Do you have proof about Riza
having given false testimony?
Two dead men were found
in front of his house.
-What will you say to this?
-Self-defense.
An honorable officer like Riza
must have a lot of enemies.
Right.
If you approach Riza
for whatever reason
I'll execute your death warrant at once.
Did you hear me, Mustafa?
You are dismissed.
You can't escape me.
Remember that.
-Thank you, Minister, sir.
-Take Riza to my office.
Watch him closely,
for he tends to run away often.
I have some work to do.
Then we will talk in private.
-7th.
-What?
You are the 7th one to reach me so far.
How could you do this?
Look. I am a mere adventurer
pursuing a legend. Please.
I say...
-...how did you find me?
-Are you insane?
-How did you find me?
-Okay, okay.
Antonio Gallant, who translated
One Thousand and One Nights
gave the four miniature pieces
to Louis XIV as a present.
The Mason, the Guardian,
the Key-maker and the Architect.
Yes.
The protectors of secrets are
in Istanbul.
So?
The Mason disappeared
in the XIII century.
Most probably, he was killed in 1203
during the crusades
-protecting the secret.
-In 1204.
It may be true. Look. Somebody
sold me the map of the Mason
-in St. Petersburg last month.
-Who?
I don't know. The map is in
my inner pocket. Have a look at it?
Look, Guardian, or whatever your name is.
My name is Otto Petrovic.
My family is wealthy.
We have mines in Siberia.
I am only interested in those artefacts.
I mean no harm. I'm sorry.
Please, release me and
I'll make you rich. So rich!
You'll go away and won't tell anyone
a thing, right, Otto Petrovic?
Yes.
And you'll get off this job's tail,
right?
Yes.
Please, don't kill me. Please.
Don't kill me.
Please.
We have been on watch
for hundreds of years.
Do you know how long we have been
searching for this piece?
Unfortunately, I cannot spare your life.
You've done us a great favor.
And you'll die knowing that.
Do not walk upon the earth exultantly.
Indeed, you will never tear
the earth apart
and you will never reach
the mountains so high.
Surah Al-Isra. But...
My family has successfully kept
the secret for centuries.
But you are arrogant, Guardian.
That was your mistake.
You have given me what I needed.
I thank you.
Now we swap places.
These secret meetings we hold have
started to raise alarms, Cadi Efendi.
If anyone knows that I've spilt the beans,
they'll ridicule me.
Do not dismay, Hamdi.
I have come to thank you.
I said where Riza was hiding.
You'll handle the rest.
We caught Riza.
But he has been taken from us.
That is not my problem anymore.
Hamdi. Know where you stand.
Either you are with us,
or you are against us.
Now, tell me, is there anything else
you can say about this matter?
This is everything I know, Cadi Efendi.
So be it.
Thank you for the map, Guardian.
And about your wound.
I am adept at this sort of thing.
The blade did not slash
any of your organs.
We have a lot to talk about, do we not?
-Who are you?
-Otto Petrovitch.
But I was not very honest with you
about my family.
My father was a potato farmer.
I have never known my mother.
She died when I was little.
But my father made a wise move
and sent me to military school.
Then we went into battle
and then into another.
In the end, the Tsar sent us
to Crimea to be butchered.
Have you ever gone into battle?
I can see it from your eyes
that you have never been in a battle.
I'm happy for you. I mean it.
One should not be deceived
by what is said about battles.
Glory, bravery, heroism...
Big talk, big lies.
What you see on the battlefield is
cowardice, insidiousness
foulness and men shitting their pants.
In that very moment, I discovered
the talent I was born with.
Won't you ask what it is?
C'mon. Join in the conversation.
It's so boring this way.
Okay, okay. What talent?
Killing.
I never feel remorse when I kill.
I almost like it.
Be it a man, woman or child.
It makes no difference to me.
And another advantage that war brings is
whenever you want to disappear...
-...you actually can.
-How did you disappear?
I was expecting this question. Easy.
I sent the riders under my command
to set up an ambush, willingly.
The cannon fire was so strong that
even pieces of the horses weren't found.
Rest was easy.
I decided to sell my skills
to the highest bidder
instead of the Tsar.
You kill people for money.
Not only for money, I also enjoy it.
-Who hired you?
-See.
Now you are beginning to unwind.
Nothing cheers me up more than
a friendly conversation.
Yet my questions are a bit more
important than yours.
Where's the key?
You will never find the answer,
even if you kill me.
No.
I don't think so.
Keep your eyes on me.
Here?
Isn't it?
You, Guardian!
It's here, isn't it?
I'm worn to the bone.
Lara.
Come nanny.
-Lara. Wait.
-What do you want?
You never reply to my letters
or want to see me.
-So, what?
-So, I'm expecting an excuse.
-What excuse am I to give you?
-What do you mean, what excuse?
Of course, you will. Don't you get it?
Look! I'm already breathing fire.
Leave the girl. Go away.
God help him.
Isn't that the officer that snuck out
of my father's party?
Why hit my fiancée?
-Your fiancée?
-Your fiancée?
I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
Everything seems to have concurred today.
Good day.
Your fiancée? Yes, I am.
Good. It's time you came around.
If you behave too coyly
you will lose your lover.
Get off! You prick!
Is that so? Then tell your father
that he'll have hard time
seeing the middleman from now on.
-You've been too harsh on him.
-He deserved it.
Not on the middleman, I mean on Mustafa.
Did you think I wouldn't figure out that
we have been loitering about for Mustafa?
-Nanny.
-Yes?
Has he become too cold for me?
As long as you stay this pretty,
you'd light the fire in him again.
Don't worry.
-Is that so?
-Yes.
My beautiful daughter.
Your father will explore
when he's heard about today.
Let's go home. Come on.
Believe me, I thought
I would have harder time.
But it was easy.
Thank you for this.
I think I owe you an explanation.
I can't tell you who hired me because
I do not know either. Really.
I won't ask questions
as long as I'm paid.
About how I found you. You were
being followed for a long time.
-What?
-Surprised?
Since you think you're so smart,
don't you?
But you didn't even notice a thing.
Actually, the secret you have been
keeping, the great treasure
the manuscripts snatched from
the burnt Library of Alexandria
all those valuable records
from the first version of the bible
to Book of the Dead.
Why not share these with people?
Because mankind is not yet ready
to know about certain things.
How do you know?
You made your decisions centuries ago.
You're selfishly keeping all of it
to yourselves.
Small games, small mysteries.
You're history.
You don't know what's happening
around the world.
For instance...
...this.
An explosive of nitroglycerine.
A chemist invented it some years ago.
You wouldn't believe the destruction
this small thing brings along
with its shockwaves.
You bastard.
I'm doing you a favor.
I'm ending your watch.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'll have to pay a visit to the Key-maker.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
Esat Pasha,
are all the preparations ready...
...for my ambassadors meeting tomorrow?
My Sultan, I had the Topkapi Palace
prepared as you commanded.
Good, good.
I do not want anything to go wrong.
As you wish, my Sultan.
Cadi Efendi, I am sorry to say that
we have four dead and twelve injured.
Five of them are very critical.
Who would want to blow up a bookstore?
Hasan, I see that
there are a lot of these around.
The police are handling it,
Cadi Efendi.
Good. Have them all collected
and then burned.
I don't want even one of them left.
As you wish.
Let's look inside, sir.
Do you know where you are?
So, why are you here?
Don't be afraid.
You don't think I'm going to kill you
in the office...
...of the Minister of Internal Affairs,
do you?
Then what do you want from me?
Who do you think saved you from Mustafa?
The minute I change the stakes...
...you will fall right back into
Giyaseddin and Mustafa's hands.
Do you want to confess your crimes?
No.
Good.
Because if something like that happens...
...you will be the one being hanged,
not Mustafa.
Then what is it you want from me?
For you to live.
You being dead would cause
a bigger problem...
...then you being alive, Riza.
You will enter into Esat Pasha's service.
Just as you promised,
you are going to rise up.
Now go home, take a shower, and get clean.
Spruce up a little.
And you are going to save yourself
from this morphine addiction.
Do you think you can show courage
and use your brain?
You would need a warehouse full of
gunpowder for an explosion like this.
Very odd.
What's odd about it, chief?
There is no gunpowder residue or smell.
And also, where are
the gunpowder barrels that blew up?
Sir, this is not gunpowder.
It might be hydro glycerin
a new and hazardous explosive material.
Mustafa, cruel people always find
new disastrous ways to destroy things.
Well, what do you think they had here?
There was mystery here Mustafa.
Legends, superstitions, secrets...
Some people look for the truth
in the dark rather than the light.
Istanbul, with its past,
is an archaic city...
...full of legends, secrets...
...and people who try to protect them.
Chief, I think we found the last victim.
Who is the real owner of the store?
A man named Nevzat.
A very old bookseller.
This bookstore has been in his family
for centuries.
Who was the last person
that came into the store?
Are there any witnesses?
No, chief. No one remembers anything
because of all the panic.
What's wrong, sir?
Our Padishah Efendi
has a meeting tomorrow...
...at the Topkapi Palace
with the ambassadors.
I think they may be trying
to mess with our heads.
Hasan, tell Zeyrek and Ceyrek
to bring all the books they can save...
...to the police station,
and get the coach ready.
We are going to go see
the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Yes, sir.
Mustafa...
...take this to Abdullah Efendi.
Let's see what he has to say.
As you wish.
Perfect. Really, it is perfect.
How do you make this?
We have our secrets, sir.
This city has so many secrets.
I've found your symbol at last, Key-maker.
Then I guess I have to visit
the Key-maker as well.
Good day. Otro Petrocelli.
I need to see the manager.
The manager is not available right now.
Could you please give this envelope
to him immediately.
Trust me, it is very important.
Fine, wait here.
Come in.
I am very sorry, Mr. Tahsin.
There is a man who would like to see you.
Who is it?
A man named Otro Petrocelli.
I don't know him.
Tell him to make an appointment.
As you wish.
He gave me an envelope to give to you.
Do you want it, sir?
Manager, sir.
-Who did you say it was?
-Otro Petrocelli.
-Tell him to come in.
-Yes, sir.
I am looking for the Key-maker.
I guess you must be Guardian,
since you sent me this.
Guardian Otro Petrocelli, at your service.
-I'm guessing that is not your real name.
-No such thing.
My name is Otro Petrecelli.
My dad had a lot of land in Piamonte.
We were very rich...
...up until the Italian War of
Independence.
Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side.
My dad thought
the Austrians were going to win.
Well, what can you do?
It could happen to anyone.
Have you ever been at war Key-maker?
I don't believe in a word you say.
You are smarter than the other one.
The situation became very sensitive.
That is why I want to read
this paper that was given to me...
...so I don't do anything wrong.
With your permission...
In the year 1204 during the...
...Crusades the Secret
Protecting Families of Istanbul...
...cut the map into four pieces.
Mason, Guardian, Key-maker and Architect.
And so on...
We already know all this. Okay.
The Mason's piece of the map
was taken by the Knights Templar.
But the Guardian, the Key-maker
and The Architect had theirs...
...in their possession.
Is that true?
Continue!
These families can only come together
for one reason...
...when the time comes
for the secrets to be explained.
The moment the key is given to
the Key-maker, he is obligated...
...to do what the Guardian says,
no questions asked.
Right?
-Right.
That is why the Key-maker family
has to put their symbol...
...on whatever work they do,
so that when the time comes...
...the Guardian can find them.
I found you and brought your key,
so that makes me the Guardian.
Who else could have found the Key-maker.
First of all,
I want you to put your gun down.
For a moment there I thought
you were actually going to shoot me.
What do you want?
First, I want your piece of the map.
Then, I want to know
where I can find the Architect.
No one knows who the Architect is.
Then I want you to find the Architect.
Come in.
Pasha, your Highness
Cadi Giyaseddin would like to see you.
Send him in.
Greetings, Pasha, your Highness.
Greetings, Cadi Efendi.
Why is it that you come to the Palace
more than I do?
We would not have bothered you
if it wasn't important.
What is the problem this time?
Is it Mustafa again?
We think that the Padishah
is being targeted to be killed.
Really? So you think...
Do you have any evidence?
It depends on the status of the evidence.
Depends on the status of the evidence?
Ok, then who is
the one that is targeting the Padishah?
We are investigating that as well,
Pasha, your highness.
Good.
So how is this person we don't know
and don't have evidence...
...on going to kill the Padishah?
-If I could see our Padishah Efendi...
-You will tell him about the nuisance.
Cadi Efendi...
...you cannot just see the Padishah
whenever you please.
The ministers before me
have wrongly accustomed you.
-Never!
-I am not done yet.
I know the special situation
between you and the Padishah.
You have been his Hodja.
But the Government has its own way
of operating.
After this, you will come and see me
first regarding any of these problems.
And if I find it appropriate, then you can
go into the presence of the Padishah.
Some of us do not care
about the money...
...clothing, or status, Esat Pasha.
We know our place and position.
Thankfully.
And you should know that...
we don't fail to respect the ones...
...who deserve it.
What I will say now is that
a crazy man with explosives in his hand...
...has turned Istanbul upside down.
Our Padishah Efendi is in his sights.
If I were you, I would double the gunmen
that protects our Padishah.
Now wait just a minute, Cadi Efendi.
Don't cross that bridge
till you come to it.
Minister, your highness, there was
an explosion today at a bookstore...
...in Galata. This is what we have left
from the explosion.
If you'll excuse me.
Assistant!
Yes Pasha.
Bring two battalions of soldiers
quietly to Dolmabahce Palace...
...from Selimiye Quarters. Tell them
not to let even a bird fly by.
And also, get permission
from our Highness Azra.
Let him know that I need to see him
urgently.
As you wish Pasha, your highness.
Get my coach ready,
I will be leaving soon.
As you command.
Ready, I'm taking it.
I took it. There!
The photo shoot is done Aghas,
you can let go now.
He needs to let go first. Let go.
No way, you need to let go first.
-You first.
-No, you first.
-No, you.
-No, you.
-You.
-You.
-You're going to let go.
-You're going to let go.
Aghas...
Aghas, could you take this outside?
-He'd run away from me.
-You'd be the one that runs.
Aghas, Aghas...
I have an idea, you should wrestle
at the Pera circle, for example.
That way the people can decide
who will run and who won't.
Lions! You are lions! Ferocious lions!
Go on then.
I have been trying to take
that photograph for two hours.
This is not the job for making money.
What brings you here, Filinta?
Sepshir Sword.
Where did you find that?
There was an explosion at the bookstore.
I found it there.
No way!
I never knew that!
Come with me.
Sepshir, sepshir.
Did anyone survive the explosion?
If you're asking about the shop owner,
he is dead.
Abdullah, I've never seen you
like this before.
Sepshir. Seven lions, it is shown
on the sword with the lions tale.
Do you see it?
Syrian steel.
Jamal Vahrada had it made.
Only one was made.
It is said that the sword smith
who made this cut his hand...
...so he would not make another one.
And what is a sword like this
doing at a bookstore.
Mustafa, Istanbul is full of secrets
and people who guard them.
That's exactly what Cadi Efendi said.
This sword was given to only one family.
The Guardian family.
If you found this sword,
that means the Guardian is dead.
What Guardian?
Abdullah?
Please for the love of God, tell me.
In the Byzantine period...
...they believed there were four families
that protected secrets.
The Mason died in the year 1204,
and now today the Guardian has died.
There are two more people in danger...
...The Key-maker and the Architect.
Here. Did you happen to find
a key like this in the shop?
I don't think so,
but the store is a wreck.
You won't find it.
The Key-maker is either dead
or about to die.
The manager fell ill.
Manager, sir.
Manager, sir.
Manager, sir.
Oh God.
In 1532, Emperor Justinian assigned
physicist Isidorus...
...and mathematician Anthemius
to build the Hagia Sophia.
The Emperor had one more purpose:
to build underground passages...
...that connected districts in Istanbul.
This way, they could have their army...
...go through these passages to take
whoever wants to invade Istanbul...
...by surprise.
When Hagia Sophia was being built...
...at the same time 20,000 slaves
were digging these passages.
Most of them died
while trying to make the passages.
Architect Anthemius got caught
trying to sell the map to the Vatican.
He was killed. Emperor Justinian
understood what he did wrong.
Whoever has this map,
can take hold of Istanbul in one night.
So, they would
fall on their own sword.
In 1204 the Crusaders reached Istanbul.
Out of fear,
the four Secret Protecting Families...
...took the only copy that was made
and divided it into four pieces.
The Mason; when they took
the Mason's piece of the map...
...the crusaders used the passages
to take hold and pillage Istanbul.
Where are the doors to these passages?
According to the data I have...
...one of the doors is at a church
in Sarayburnu.
The church was demolished
during the pillage of Istanbul.
Instead of rebuilding the church...
...Topkapi Palace was built.
This is a serious situation.
We need to go to Cadi Efendi.
Let's go.
Amazing, my friend!
Let's go.
Oh, my pretty girl.
Nanny...
Your father is waiting for you
in the study. Right away.
Such an honor,
the last time I was there I was a child.
Only mademoiselle.
Ok. Nanny, you can wait for me here.
Come in.
Lara.
Father, I'm surprised.
You never ask me to come here.
Yes.
A lot of people
from the business world come here.
Politicians, bankers...
people who do not want to be seen.
That is how the business world is.
That is why I do my business here
and live with you...
...on the other side of the manor.
Okay. So what do I owe this honor to?
You know why you are here.
If this is about Enver...
And as I can see it is...
Daddy, I really don't love him.
Lara.
From what I heard from Enver,
you mistreated the boy.
Does that suit you?
He is a moron.
My pretty girl, we don't live forever.
You are all I have in this world.
You know that, right?
Your mother left us early,
may she rest in peace.
That is why it's best for you
to go into a strong family.
Lara, I...
The business world is like
walking on a thin rope.
If I fall one day,
I don't want to have to look back.
If something happens to me,
the Kabzimanzade family will protect you.
No way!
Enver Kabzimanzade
is going to come by this evening...
...and you will apologize to him.
I shall decide what is best for you.
Don't disappoint me.
You may leave.
Lara...
...don't make me ask you to come here
again.
Don't get up.
What gives?
It's not good, Cadi Efendi.
Abdullah Efendi,
I have never seen you leave the shop.
Go ahead Hasan, tell me.
Today at noon, a bomb exploded
at the Bank of Dersaadet.
Seven dead and many injured.
The explosive looks a lot like
the one at the bookstore.
A man goes into the building,
then he blows the building up...
...so there won't be any witnesses.
Then, leaves this behind.
The Key-maker is gone as well.
Next is the Architect.
The Padishah is in danger.
The assassin could use
the underground passages...
...to get all the way to the palace.
You think so.
Abdullah Efendi,
do you think the map is complete?
What do you think, Cadi Efendi?
Am I the only one
who didn't know about this story?
I don't know it either chief.
If this map really does exist,
the man is still looking for it.
Mustafa and Hasan,
take Abdullah Efendi back to his shop.
And take these two with you.
I don't want them getting in the way.
Tonight,
you can continue your research there.
Keep your eyes open till morning.
Get back to the police station
early morning.
Bring Abdullah Efendi as well.
He will be helpful regarding this matter.
-As you wish.
-As you wish.
Don't worry Abdullah,
I'll solve this case.
You can trust us, Cadi Efendi.
Thank you.
Go on, go.
Your man Cemil,
I am hoping he is trustworthy.
Don't worry.
He is loyal, just like my other men.
What brings you here?
I'm guessing you've heard
about the explosions in Istanbul.
Whoever is behind this is planning
on assassinating the Padishah.
He left this behind.
If Padishah dies now,
it will ruin all my plans.
He still needs to be on the throne.
Well, what are you doing
about this matter?
I sent two battalions to the Palace.
-Good.
-They are securing the place.
I will also talk to the Padishah
and have him stay at the palace...
...until all this is over
and tell him to cancel...
...his meeting with the ambassadors.
Good. Good.
I'll send my men to Istanbul as well
and give them strict orders.
I will let you know if I hear anything.
There is another matter
we need to discuss.
Filinta Mustafa.
Every time you try to kill him,
you create more suspicion.
Pasha, this is a personal matter.
I am not asking what the matter is about.
I am just letting you know that...
...your every move is creating
a bigger issue.
That is what I am saying.
Giyaseddin
is more powerful than you think.
These moves you make
are putting us in danger.
What I suggest is...
Since Mustafa will already be hanged
in less than a year...
...I will get closer to the Padishah
and talk to him about...
...Mustafa's situation once again.
What I want from you...
What I request,
is for you not to do anything.
Yes, let Mustafa die on his own.
Alright.
Anything you say.
But if you let me down
with this Mustafa matter...
...I won't just take away your title...
Cemil.
Take your men and go see
who is behind all these explosions.
Let Azize know she's coming too,
dead or alive it doesn't matter.
As you wish, Mr. Zaharyas.
Boris Efendi takes good care of you.
To what do we owe this honor?
Maybe I want to spend some
quality time with you too. Right?
Can't it be possible?
Do you think that can be possible?
But first we should tend to our business.
Boris Efendi wants you to find someone.
And who is that?
A crazy man.
He blew up Istanbul all day today.
I heard.
He thinks he is going to kill
the Padishah. That is why...
...he wants us to find him
as soon as possible...
...and send him to the other side.
Does he have a description?
What do we need a description for?
You are like a snake,
you're good at sensing trouble.
Since you came into a snake's hole,
you should drink hard.
Maniac.
What the hell is your story?
Don't you ever talk?
He only talks to real men.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
What are you saying Esat Pasha?
My Sultan, I'm sorry to say that
it is a very dangerous situation.
We are sure that the assassin
is after your life.
That is why it would be best if you
stayed in the Palace until it is over.
A single man wants to kill the Padishah
and instead of trying to find him...
...you want me to hide here?
Cadi Giyaseddin agrees.
If you could at least
not go to the ambassadors meeting today...
...at Topkapi Palace.
As we discussed before, I will have
the meeting with the ambassadors today.
If they start thinking that
a Padishah is scared...
...and that he is staying
in his palace like a captive...
...what will people think, Esat Pasha?
A Padishah does not run from a crazy man.
You are going to secure the place
and be by my side!
How does this man see outside?
I can build this too, nothing to it.
Yeah, sure you can, sure you can.
Come on, go.
That's for generating electricity.
Don't turn the knob, you'll get shocked.
What deep thoughts are you thinking?
I'm thinking about why Cadi Efendi
sent us to protect you.
I didn't understand it either.
Protection?
I'm just a simple photographer.
You are a photographer who makes this.
Don't give me that.
Yes, well my brain just works
a little different, that's all.
Cadi Efendi has most likely
already picked up the trail...
...of the guy who turned Istanbul
upside down.
But you, you really haven't spoken
since we got here.
Nothing gets away from you, Mustafa.
Zeyrek!
It's zapping my insides, man!
It's zapping my insides!
It's zapping... Zeyrek!
Come, Zeyrek.
Come on, man. Come.
Mr. Enver, I want to apologize...
...for my behavior earlier today.
Mr. Enver.
What did you say? I couldn't hear you.
You heard what I said.
Oh yes. I was just joking.
Okay, okay, I accept your apology.
But, when we get married Lara
you will complete the education
that your father started for you.
Plus when we get married
my family's power
will pave the way for Mr. Zaharyas.
Right, Mr. Zaharyas?
Aren't you hungry my daughter?
-I don't feel good. Would you excuse...
-You may be excused.
Oh daughters! Right, Mr. Zaharyas?
What can you do?
They're a pain in the neck.
I say let's make a long story short.
Let's have the engagement
by the end of the month
and the wedding right after.
-Are you done?
-Done with what?
Your rudeness.
-No, I was just...
-And you are interrupting me.
You are under my roof.
My daughter apologized
but you didn't even take her seriously.
And about the education I gave...
Is my daughter a dog that you are
questioning the education I gave her?
-You understood me...
-There is one more thing.
"My family's power will pave
the way for you, Mr. Zaharyas."
Would you like me to show you
the real power your family has?
Your family's power compared to my power,
is as low as a rat's stool.
Now you will go tell your carrion father
that because of your misbehavior
The Galata Port will be closed
to your family for two years.
Do you understand me?
And this is a small reminder
so you won't forget.
Cemil!
Throw this scumbag out.
And if you see him near my house
or Lara again, chop his fingers off.
My daughter was right.
He really was a moron.
And Otto Petrosyan wins.
Lads, after a productive day
winning at gambling
must be a great feeling.
You are very lucky.
-And you look tired.
-I had a long journey.
But every time I come to Constantinople
it's worth it.
-You are not from around here?
-No, I come from Athens.
My family has been in Istanbul
for seven generations.
This really is a magical city, isn't it?
I can't even imagine living
somewhere else.
I'm sorry to say that
I have to travel back to Athens
right after the wedding tomorrow.
Wow, tomorrow.
You really did have a long journey
all the way to Istanbul
from Athens just for one day.
As my father used to say,
may he rest in peace
you need to quit while you're ahead.
Of course once I get home
I will have lost at love
after seeing my wife's angry face
because I was late.
I will have to deal with it. Lads.
I'm so sorry. Please forgive my boldness.
The person you were playing with
at the table there
-could he have been the Greek Minister?
-Excuse me?
The man you were playing with...
No, I don't know a thing about him.
I understand.
The Greek Minister's daughter
is getting married tomorrow
at the Patriarchate.
And since I am in Istanbul
I wanted to talk to him
about my family's land in Greece.
I'm sorry. Please let me
introduce myself.
Otto Pieter. I am at your service.
Nice to meet you. I am Azize.
I've never seen you
at this night club before.
I have only been in Istanbul for a week.
My company sent me here to work on the
Istanbul to Baghdad railway systems.
How exciting.
Of course, we have just barely started.
I am hoping the Sultan
will accept our appeal.
-That's too bad.
-Excuse me?
I think you need to change your tailor.
Because the right arm of your jacket
is longer than the left one.
Did you not realize this before?
Only just now when you told me.
You are very careful.
I am very careful regarding
these types of situations.
Nothing gets past me.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
If you'll excuse me.
It was an honor to meet you.
I'm very sorry. It isn't personal.
I can't leave any witnesses behind.
You were just in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
But I have to admit it was well played.
Interesting. You are exactly
where I want you to be.
Husband, you haven't slept yet?
I'm sorry, did i wake you?
What's wrong, what happened?
Government issues. Don't worry about it.
You go ahead and go back to sleep.
Is this issue so serious
that it's keeping you up?
You're right Hatun.
But hopefully everything will work out.
Go back to sleep.
-Greetings.
-Greetings.
Who is it at this hour?
Open the door sister,
it's Cadi Giyaseddin.
Don't be afraid.
No harm will come to you from me.
What is it, why are you
knocking on my door at this hour?
Yours is the only light on
in the neighborhood.
Is your problem so serious
that it keeps you up at this hour?
Cadi Efendi, we've lost my husband.
We've lost everything we had.
Now the landlord wants to evict us.
I can't feed my kids.
What am I going to do
if we get thrown out on the streets?
Sister, if your problems were serious
why did you not come to the Cadi Ministry?
I guess we haven't created
sufficient trust.
It's our fault, please forgive us.
Now...
...please accept this.
Tomorrow morning go do some shopping
for your home and feed your kids.
Then tell your landlord
to come see me Cadi Giyaseddin
at the Cadi ministry,
after morning prayers.
So repeat please. What is my name?
Cadi Giyaseddin.
Good.
Sister, after today whenever you have
a problem you will come to see me.
Know that you are not alone.
First you have God and then you have me.
May God bless you.
May God bless you. Good night.
Maybe.
Maybe there is no need for the Architect.
Here is the Patriarchate.
Come in.
Cadi Efendi, a man named Selami
is here to see you.
Show him in.
You asked for me, Cadi Efendi?
Come sit, let's have a chat.
Are you the man who wants to throw
a widowed woman with two children
-out on the streets?
-But Cadi Efendi.
Don't you know that God loves a house
with fatherless children the most?
But that is how we earn our living.
How many houses do you own?
-Do not lie I'll know if you do.
-Nine.
Nine.
Selami, you are a human being,
this woman cannot pay this rent.
-What will we do now?
-Well we can provide some relief.
-Like what?
-I can lower the rent.
Selami, the house the woman lives in
is yours.
It is your right to ask for rent.
I cannot deny that.
But I recommend that you not take rent
from this woman until she remarries.
How can that be?
Selami, our inner conscience
is higher than some of our legal rights.
And I don't pardon unconscientious
people. You should know that.
-Do not test me.
-No Cadi Efendi, I wouldn't even try.
How could we throw a widowed woman
out on the streets?
Yes, such a charitable person.
I think you should also
help this woman out a little.
Since you get this much rent
from all your other houses.
We can do that as well.
How great that a person listens
and does the right thing.
You may leave.
Yesterday, Azize let him slip away.
Now it's like the ground opened
and swallowed him up.
So he got away from Azize.
He's a hard and fast man.
But since you found his tracks...
...you can bring him in by morning,
right?
Enter.
Mr. Zaharyas, we found this
in front of the door.
-It had your name on it.
-Didn't you see who left it?
-No one saw, sir.
-Bring it here.
I order you not to intervene
in this situation.
This piece of metal is what you are worth.
Mr. Zaharyas?
Pull back your men immediately.
We are not going to intervene
in the situation.
What are you still waiting for?
Pull back your men!
It seems as though Esat Pasha
could not persuade Padishah Efendi.
The Sultan is going to the Topkapi Palace
to meet with the ambassadors.
At the same time the Greek Minister
is marrying off his daughter today
at the Patriarchate. He wants
guards from us for protection.
What a coincidence.
That means we have to protect
the Topkapi Palace and the Patriarchate
at the same time.
There is something I just don't get.
How can a man who doesn't leave
anything behind, declare that
he is going to kill the Padishah?
The man is crazy, Chief.
The starting point of this
is Hagia Sophia.
If the Emperor started
the passages from that point
then there must be a door at Hagia Sophia.
Abdullah, who knows the most
about Hagia Sophia?
Mustafa, go to the Bulgarian Church.
Find Gregory and send my regards to him.
Go on.
Mustafa, be careful.
-How do I look?
-Beautiful, you're beautiful.
Mustafa?
I have to leave urgently. Have a good day.
Mustafa, sir.
I wasn't exactly honest with you.
The man you saw yesterday
is not my fiancée.
Plus, my father told me
not to see him again.
But you need to leave. Go ahead.
And to think we came all this way
to throw ourselves at his feet.
Lara.
You have given me the best news
I've heard today.
I would like to see you again...
...if you also want to see me.
I would really like that.
Then I will contact you
through your nanny.
Is that okay?
It certainly is.
Have a good day.
This not a good sign. Let's go.
Come on.
I guess you weren't that smart, Justinian.
Welcome, how can I help you?
I am Priest Otto Petro.
I come from Bulgaria.
-Welcome. How can I help?
-Since I came all the way to Istanbul
I want to see all the treasures
for myself.
What do you mean by treasures?
Our Churches. Do we have anything
more valuable?
Yes, of course.
This was the symbol of
Justinian's dynasty, right?
That's correct.
Only a few people know that.
Just as I assumed.
Thank you.
I need this key, Priest.
I'm sorry, I can't leave behind a witness.
-Sir Gregory?
-Yes.
Sir Gregory?
-Good day.
-Good day.
Chief Mustafa from Galata.
They told me you are the one
who knows the most about Hagia Sophia.
-Who told you that?
-Abdullah Efendi.
Our trust in Abdullah Efendi is eternal.
Let us sit down.
What would you like to know?
When Emperor Justinian
was building Hagia Sofia
he also was building underground passages.
That's what they say.
Then there must be a door that opens
on to the passages at Hagia Sofia.
There is no door that opens
on to the passages at Hagia Sofia.
-But why?
-Because Hagia Sofia is of no importance.
It was just built
in the middle of the city.
They say Justinian made four doors
at Istanbul's four corners.
-And he hid these doors.
-Where are the doors?
One of the doors is in the Pera area,
the other is on top of a fort
in Sarayburnu.
So now the Topkapi Palace
is built on top of it.
That's correct. The other is at the top,
where the Patriarchate is.
The Patriarchate?
-What year was the church built?
-In 1848.
It was built on top of the old wooden
church that was erected in 534.
Look Sir Gregory, if there is a door
leading to the passages under this church
you need to show it to me.
The Padishah is in danger.
You need to give your word to keep this
secret under the roof of this church.
I swear to the one God
in the name of the Holy Quran
that your secret is safe with me.
Is your Church normally this empty?
The Greek Minister's daughter
is getting married at the Patriarchate.
Almost all of Athens is there today.
All the priests
and all of the congregations
will be there.
What about you?
I cannot leave my door, Mustafa Efendi.
This is my duty.
Mustafa Efendi, you need to know
these passages are like Labyrinths.
You can get lost easily without the map.
Listen closely to me.
Make three lefts from here.
Then make two rights.
You will come to a junction.
If you go left
you will come out underneath
Topkapi Palace
and if you go right
you will get to the Patriarchate.
-Thank you.
-God speed, Mustafa.
Here we go.
Left.
Left.
Now right.
Now left is the Topkapi Palace...
...and right is the Patriarchate.
Right here.
There's something I just don't get.
How can a man who doesn't leave
anything behind
declare that he is going to kill
the Padishah?
The Greek minister's daughter
is getting married at the Patriarchate.
Almost all of Athens is there.
This man is leading us astray.
His purpose is not to kill the Padishah.
If I'm wrong, then may God help us.
Yes, Padishah Efendi.
Since he is not here...
I guess it's not that thin.
Let's get this wedding started.
Stop!
Who are you? Although,
I'm usually the one they ask this to.
Galata Chief Mustafa.
Who the heck are you?
Pleased to meet you. I am...
Well, it's not that important.
What's important is my friend.
I haven't named him yet.
But I guess you've seen what it can do.
Throw your gun towards me.
We came to this path to be Martyrs.
If you blow it up we both die.
But the ones on the other side
of the door will suffer as well.
I have a bag full of them.
Decide quickly. There are innocents
behind this door.
Calm down, we still have some time.
Don't do anything hasty.
What do you want from the Patriarchate?
Phew, that was close.
Me? Nothing.
But the people who hired me
really want a Balkan War to start.
That is my prediction.
There is already unrest in the Balkans.
Killing the Patriarch
and the Greek Minister
will provide reasons for the war to start.
Barbaric Turks! They killed the Patriarch
and the Minister.
By the time the truth comes out,
the Serbians, Bulgarians and the Greeks
will be battering down
the gates of Istanbul.
Nice gun.
Bravo, you're a smart kid.
You found me when everyone
was protecting the Padishah.
You bastard. Because of you
thousands of people will die!
Have you ever been to war?
Oh forget it, this time
I'm going to cut it short.
I guess you're not as smart as
you thought.
You can't escape from here.
Everyone down on the ground!
Everyone down on the ground!
The coast is clear.
You can get up now.
Are you okay, my daughter?
How about you, my son?
I wish the bride and groom happiness.
If you'll excuse me.
So this disgusting man
was going to start a Balkan war.
We haven't really solved this
until we find out who hired him.
Whoever that is...
...he's probably already
working on a new plan.
We'll find him.
So, how did you find the door
to the passages?
I understand.
Some things just have to remain secret.
That is correct, Cadi Efendi.
If you'll excuse me.
-Of course.
-Mustafa, I will see you later.
Go on then, Mustafa.
We still have a lot of work to do.
If you touch me, you will be hanged.
You are never going to change,
are you Riza?
You're still a coward.
That day was our beginning, Riza.
A dishonest man like you
cannot take my life.
Come, come. Don't be afraid.
Every time you look back you will see me.
You will look for me in every shadow.
You will never be able to be alone.
You will remember me
with every breath you take.
Because you are a coward.
Now go.
Riza!
Your punishment in this world is me.
Don't forget that.
