Filinta (2014–2016): Season 2, Episode 19 - Episode #2.19 - full transcript

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
AT THE DAWN OF 1000 YEARS

FILINTA
AT THE DAWN OF 1000 YEARS

Kenan Efendi.

A.k.a. Milos.

The snake behind the plots
against our Padishah.

Seize him before he escapes from Istanbul.

Every train station, dock...



I want every potential escape route
to be covered around the clock.

Do not forget to make arrangements
for the roads, too.

-Yes, sir.
-Lads.

I demand every name on this list to be
seized without exception. Understood?

Lions!

Hand those out, too. Good luck.

How is our Sultan doing, my Pasha?

He's direly disappointed, Mustafa.

It's not easy, my Pasha.

He has been his hodja
since he was just a shahzada.

He said he would expect
such a betrayal from anyone

except Kenan Efendi
and Hayrullah Efendi.

My right hand.

My hodja has betrayed us.



So has Doctor Hayrullah Efendi.

This is neither the first nor the last,
my Sultan. Don't grieve.

We have always looked for the enemy
outside our midst.

He was right beside us.

We didn't notice.

Whom shall I confide in now,
dear apple of my eye?

We can trust no one
but ourselves, my Sultan.

-Chief.
-What gives, Ahmet?

-What's all the rush for?
-We've found Milos' hideout.

What?

Look. It's written here.

Mustafa. Let's go!

-When are you leaving?
-A little later.

How do I look?

Flawless.

Do you love him?

No.

You don't have to deny it.

I'm too old to be insensitive
about such matters.

I know you're in love with him.

But your love won't hinder
your loyalty to us.

Do you know why?

You've always trusted my intellect.

I have, haven't I?

Yes. I have.

Leyla, we can't control our hearts.

But we can control our minds.

And I trust your intellect.

I went through a great deal
of trouble training you.

Because you were worthy of it.

I'm much obliged.

Chief Rabbi Solomon.

When they swoop down on us,
leave the job to the sharpshooters.

Wait.

If they miss, then we'll deal with them.

On my mark, you'll begin the crossfire.

-Okay.
-Slay them all. Now spread out.

It's too quiet.

We must protect the civilians, Blade Ali.
He must have a plan.

Chief!

Mustafa.

-Mustafa!
-Ali!

Help him!

Ali. On the count of three.

One!

Oh man!

He's in disguise.

May I see your documents?

-Where to, citizen?
-To the village of San Stefano.

-Are you from there?
-Yes.

Okay. You may go through.

Oh, Gazanfer.

You've been shot for the second time
in the last six months, brother.

You bullet-magnet.

It's nothing serious, chief.

-Leyla will heal me.
-I hope so, brother.

Where's Mustafa?

He has work to do, sister.

We have to remove the bullet.

Hold on, my lion.

Hold on, Gazanfer. Hang in there, my lion.

Hang in there, my lion.

-How is she?
-She's healing fast.

I just gave her an injection
and she's resting now.

-May I escort you out?
-I'd like to stay here. I won't wake her.

Alright. But please do not stay
for too long.

Thank you.

God. I've woken you up.

I wasn't sleeping.

Hilal. My daughter.

My baby.

Look at you now, all grown up.

You're beautiful.

I took after you more than Davut Pasha,
I guess.

Yes.

Are you angry with him?

Yes. I mean, no.

God forgive me.

Why would I be angry with a man
who died a martyr?

You are.

Yes.

He was a great intelligence officer.

Yet, the cobbler's children
have no shoes.

He couldn't find you for all those years.
All those years.

Davut Pasha.

Tell me who my family is, Davut Pasha.

Hilal.

My daughter.

When you were abducted...

...our whole world came crashing down
around us.

Father!

-Where's my mother?
-Find your mother.

Smell her.

Don't forget about me.

Forgive me.

Don't be angry with him, please.

The men who abducted me were
not people who could be found easily.

He did his best.

Your fake beard looks good on you.

The moustache as well. I like it.

So, you like it, Master Cemil.

I was wondering

if the military policemen
could recognize you in this disguise.

-I don't think so.
-I agree.

Well of course, if someone removed
your fake beard and moustache...

Well, that's another matter.

What do you want, Cemil?

Why do you think I want something?

I've only come here to say goodbye.

You would have shot me by now,
if you had come here for that.

Tell me what you want and
I'll tell you whether I can do it or not.

I want to be the only one with power
across Istanbul from now on.

You can never achieve this
if you have me arrested.

And if you don't grant me my demand

you won't be able to put in motion
the last big game you have been planning.

You don't know what I've been planning.

I didn't only read Celal's book
that night.

So, I was the last one on the list
to be killed.

I read the book
in your secret safe

-and in the Supreme Council as well.
-Impossible.

Because you should have known
I knew the password.

The hundreds of times you
locked and unlocked the safe

I was always there.

32, 26

48, 75

17, 89.

That's why I unlocked the safe so easily.

The book contained so many
incredible things...

...it made me admire your intellect
once again.

As you waited for your plan's results
in the suffering room

I was reading the best plan
you had ever made.

One must admit...

...that your plan is flawless.

Flawless.

Thank you, Cemil.

You may go through.

If you don't accept my offer...

...all of this will vanish into thin air.

May I see your documents?

Okay. You may go through.

Yes? I'm waiting for your answer.

I accept.

Then, I'll have to ask
one more thing of you.

What do you want?

The possible places Celal could use
as a hideout.

Speaking of Celal...

Do you know what hurt me most?

You chose that dope over me.

I never expected this from a genius
like you, Master Milos.

I didn't.

Sorry?

You could read that book
only because I let you, Master Cemil.

What concerned me was
whether you could do it.

I knew you would read the book.

So, you knew everything, didn't you?

I only wanted to be sure of your skills.

And you passed the test.

Istanbul is now yours.

Halt!

Documents!

All fine. Go ahead.

Good day. Your travel documents please.

-Where to, Solomon Efendi?
-To Thessaloniki.

-Okay. Have a safe journey.
-Thank you.

And you?

We're together.

Okay. Have a safe journey.

-Greetings.
-Chief Mustafa.

-Situation?
-Everything is under control.

Is that you, Filinta Mustafa?

This letter is for you.

Who gave this letter to you?

An old man with a white beard
and a moustache.

You've missed me once again, Mustafa.

But don't worry. We'll meet again soon.

Yet, the conditions will be
entirely different.

Perhaps you'd be an outlaw and
I'd be a protector of the law by then.

And not to mention how our Sultan will be.

No one could know that.

In fact, I do know. But don't rush it.

Since our Sultan will already know
what fate has conspired to do against him

when the time is right,
just like everyone else.

He both slips through our fingers

and leaves a letter,
as if he was making fun of us, Efendis.

Whatever you say, you're right, my Sultan.

What does it matter if I'm right, Pasha?
He blatantly made his escape.

Now, how do we seize him?
Where will we find him?

My Sultan, we've sent telegrams
to every station across the land

and stressed the gravity
and urgency of the situation.

Where do you think
he's escaped to, Mustafa?

I don't know where he's gone,
but I do know what he's going to do next.

What's he going to do?

The purpose of the Supreme Council

was to rule over the Ottoman Empire
with a puppet Padishah.

If you'll pardon my expression,
isn't that so, my Sultan?

-Yes.
-So, how do we know that?

They've attempted to assassinate you.

Thank God, we prevented that.

Thank God that we prevented that. But

what if we weren't successful?

Who would be sitting on the throne now?

-Shahzada Murat.
-A.k.a. the puppet Padishah.

Yes.

But to do this, they had to eliminate
Shahzada Mehmet first.

So, they accused him of treason.

That's right.

Thank God, we cleared him of all charges.

But they aimed to kill two birds
with one stone.

If anything had happened to our Sultan,
Shahzada Mehmet would have walked

to the gallows for his uncle's
murder. If you had survived,

he would have been apprehended
for attempting a coup.

Which means, Shahzada Murat
would have acceded to the throne

no matter what happened.

Shahzada Murat paid for his greed
by becoming paralyzed.

So, all his plans have been ruined.

Don't be so sure, my Pasha.

They've begun the second phase
of their plot.

The Barracks of Taksim.

The Young Turks Cafe.

The bombing of the telegraph office.

And finally, the assassination
attempt of Sheikh Bender.

The assassination of Sheikh Bender
was ordered by the Tsar.

Because the supranational corpus
called the Supreme Council is

much more intelligent than the Russians,
the British, and the others,

-they saw this as an opportunity.
-What opportunity?

In addition to the assassination
attempt of Sheikh Bender,

which the Russians yearned for,
the Supreme Council used this opportunity

to execute the three bombing incidents.

This means these cursed ones infiltrated
Russian Intelligence too.

Correct.

They sought Russia to
invade the Ottoman Empire.

But they couldn't succeed.
All their plans fell through.

But they achieved one thing.

Something big, my Sultan.

What did they achieve?

Unfortunately, they have achieved
making the public doubt our Sultan.

They're openly playing
with people's minds.

If you were a commoner

what would you think after three bombings
and an assassination?

That the Sultan is vulnerable.

I'm ashamed to say that you can topple
what you can touch.

So, these bastards will try
to topple our Sultan again.

But they don't want Shahzada Mehmet
to accede to the throne.

And we have only Shahzada Murat left.
But he's paralyzed.

He can't sit on the throne either.

What's this Kenan Milos
trying to do, Mustafa?

What if Shahzada Murat
isn't even paralyzed?

Ali and I saw it with our own eyes
Mustafa. He is.

He has medical reports.

Zimmerman.

Hayrullah Efendi.

I can't fully believe in doctors
after what happened with these two.

Did Mustafa come home last night, nanny?

He did, my daughter.

Did he ask you if you knew
where I was?

He didn't.

Now, you go home.

But bring me fresh news tomorrow.

Alright, my beautiful daughter.

But, why don't you come home with me?

Nanny, you know why.

Okay.

I'll be back in a few days, Mustafa.
I can't sleep well till I see

if this Shahzada Murat is paralyzed
or not with my own eyes.

Let me know with a telegram
as soon as you find out.

I'll do so immediately.

-Godspeed.
-Thanks, brother.

Mustafa.

-Any progress, brother?
-About what?

About Leyla?

She hasn't returned home yet.

She's still mad, you say.

Wouldn't you be, if you were her?

You're right, brother.

Mustafa, don't get me wrong.

One must act swiftly in matters
of the heart and decide immediately.

You're right, Ali.

My heart tells me one thing,
yet my conscience another.

Mustafa. Listen to either your heart
or your conscience.

But be happy anyways, brother.

-Goodbye.
-Godspeed.

Chief!

-What gives?
-Not good news, chief.

What happened, lad? Tell me.

They say Chief Gazanfer is not doing well.
The bullet has poisoned him.

How is he?

The bullet hit a vein close to his heart.

The poison found its way
to the heart fast.

So, there's no hope.

Is there?

Give me your blessing, chief.

Don't say that.

You're not going anywhere. Resist.

Give me your blessing, chief.

Don't do this.

Give me your blessing, Filinta Mustafa.

I give you my blessing, brother.

Give me all your blessings.

We give you our blessing.

Father.

Father.

Father.

I leave my children to you, chief.

Rest easy, brother.

Rest easy.

You finished your medical studies.

We, with Cadi Giyaseddin's help,
placed you in Kulliye.

You, my masterpiece

managed to be loved
by everyone in just one year.

Do you know why?

Because you are an actual mole.

You gave your compassion
just like any other mole would do.

You wept with them,
you laughed with them.

You healed them.

Because of this reason, Leyla,
they loved you and trusted you.

Let's recite the Surah Al-Fatihah.

Mom. Let me go.

Father.

Father.

Give me my father.

Look at me.

You're a brave hero like your father.

Understand?

So, you have come.

We couldn't settle
our score the other day.

Let's finish that up.

I won't be the last name
on the list, Celal. It'll be you.

As you kill me here

the woman you love might die
in another place. Farah.

You must not die easily, Celal.

I'm planning another death for you
in a bloodbath.

How did you find me?

Master Milos told me.

Lies.

He said I could find Padre
in two specific places.

Either...

...in the Supreme Council...

...or beside the woman he loves.

I mean, Farah.

And that's where I'm in control.

How do you want it to be?

Let's make it bloody.

Alright.

Dirty.

You think you can best Padre on your own?

Don't be fooled by the suit.
I'm the Padre of the streets.

You're nothing, Cemil.

You're Boris' mere flatterer.

Send my regards to Boris
when you see him.

I'll wait by Farah's side
until we meet once more.

A FEW DAYS LATER

My Sultan sent me because
he was concerned about our Shahzada.

Sadly, he hasn't improved
since he came.

He can't do anything without help.

What are you doing?

I'll see for myself if he's paralyzed.

You can't do this to a Shahzada
from the noble family.

Do not mistake treachery for nobility.

If he's still alive after
daring to attempt a coup

it is only because of
our Sultan's forbearance.

-He'd have been long dead otherwise.
-Help, guards!

Easy.

Let's see if you're paralyzed or not.

-Want some coffee, son?
-No, nanny. I'm satiated.

Good appetite.

-Mustafa.
-Yes, nanny.

Bring Leyla back, will you?
End this resentment.

-I have no resentment, nanny.
-Neither does Leyla, Mustafa.

But you must go and bring her.

Who is Leyla, Mustafa?

You're legitimate wife.

You're the husband.
It's your responsibility.

You must bring her.

Go inside, nanny. You'll catch a cold.

Done.

-Have you sent it, brother?
-I have.

Thanks.

Come in.

-You've got a telegram, sir.
-From who?

-From Blade Ali, my Pasha.
-Give it to me.

You may leave.

-Good morning.
-Good morning, Mustafa.

Look, Blade Ali sent a telegram.

-What did he write?
-Read it.

Shahzada Murat is paralyzed for real.

This means your argument has been refuted.

It seems so, Pasha.

You must also look at
what's beyond the visible eye.

True. I'll go inform the Sultan.

My Pasha. This note must be given
to Chief Mustafa immediately.

Okay, son.

With a letter, Celal, you'll meet
your executioner, Mustafa.

Officer. Come.

Let Chief Mustafa know.
He must go to Farah at the hospital.

-Say it's urgent.
-As you command.

I've talked to Mustafa.

I said "Enough of this resentment.
Go bring your wife."

What did Mustafa say in return?

Nothing. He kept his silence.

Daughter.

Please, stop being stubborn. Come home.

I can relate. I know that
you're totally right.

But this is not the way.

What's more, he's your husband.

From now on, the job is yours.

You're the most competent student
I have ever trained.

You're my masterpiece.

Pretend to have forgiven him
and go back home.

You'll kill Mustafa
when I send word.

Pretend to have forgiven him
and go back home.

Doctor.

Ruhi Pasha.

Farah.

I was so worried when I saw the note
you sent to Mustafa.

So I came here.

I've also informed Mustafa.

Note? What note? I didn't send a note.

Then who sent it?

What did it read?

"Our Padishah is in danger.
Come to the hospital tonight.

I'm waiting for you. Farah."

I didn't write the note, Ruhi Pasha.

You didn't?

That means someone wants Mustafa
here tonight.

Your executioner's waiting for you, Celal.

Farah.

Can this be Celal?

I don't know.

It can.

Celal's full of hatred.

We were like siblings when we were
first recruited by the corps.

Celal. Son.

You.

Farah.

Celal is my son.

He was taken from me.

I've tracked him for years.

But, thanks to God, I have found him now.

Celal.

My son.

Lies.

You're my enemy.

You killed my family.

The Ottoman Empire did it.

Everything I have been through,

everything I have learned, was for this.

For my vengeance.

I hate you. All of you.

How can you still believe in this, Celal?

That's your father standing
in front of you. Can't you see?

Farah.

My Farah.

I have loved you so much.

So much.

But you...

...chose him...

...over me.

You chose Mustafa.

I was ready to die for you.

But you chose him.

Celal.

Something's not right about this.

Someone is trying to set Mustafa
and Celal against each other.

Come on, Farah.

What you intended is not always
what you find.

I was waiting for another enemy.
Yet, I've come across a greater one.

Say, he sent you since
he couldn't dare to face me.

Who?

Mustafa.

Since we're both in love with Farah...

...one of us must die.

We've both killed many men, Celal.

Both you and I.

But you took my father.

You took Davut Pasha from me.

You were never a warrior.

You've always been a traitor
hiding behind children.

And I've known this all along.

Mustafa. Please, stop.

Mustafa. Stop.

Don't. Please. Mustafa.

That's for Cadi Giyaseddin, Celal.

-Mustafa. Don't. Stop.
-Farah.

Stay out of this.

Don't.

That's for all those innocent children
you orphaned.

That's for Davut Pasha.

-He's dead already. Stop.
-Farah!

Stay out of this.

Do you remember the moment
we caught each other's eyes, Celal?

I swore to kill you
without blinking.

Do you remember?

Don't, please, Mustafa.

Look into my eyes.

I bear witness,
God is the sole divinity...

...and I bear witness Mohammad
is His servant and His messenger.

God is the greatest.

Each day, one of you

and one day, all of you.

Celal.

My son.

Celal.

Forgive me, Celal.

I couldn't stop it.

I couldn't protect you, Celal.

I couldn't stand in the way
of your abduction.

Celal.

My son.

My son.

Now I have

your lifeless body to hold.

Celal?

My son.

Celal.

Was this our destiny, Celal?

Celal.

Forgive me, son.

Forgive me.

Welcome.

I've come, Mustafa.

I've come back home, for you.

My Mustafa. I won't give up on you.

Whatever you do
I'll try to earn your heart.

I love you so much.

A WEEK LATER

THESALLONIKKI

Cleantis Cleary, the Grand Master
of the Prodos Lodge.

-Cemil.
-Pleased to meet you, Mr. Cemil.

If your small talk is over,
let's get down to business.

Sure. Please.

I have news that Milos is in Thessaloniki.

-Thessaloniki, you say, my Pasha.
-Smart move.

It's the most cosmopolitan city
after Istanbul.

-The dissenters are also powerful there.
-True.

What does the Thessaloniki sector
of the corps say?

All the attacks on Milos were in vain.

We must send someone
to see if everything's real.

I've sent two men already.

It's time we made radical changes
in the Ottoman Empire, Milos Efendi.

The Ottoman Empire has built
the world's third largest fleet

for the last five years.

And railroad coverage has tripled.

We must obstruct this.

Yet, we haven't included
the Russian sympathizers.

You must be right, Master.

Then, tell me about this big plan
in your head.

The first step of my big plan is
to destroy Shahzada Mehmet.

-You've tried this.
-Yes, we did, and we failed.

But it doesn't mean
that we can't try once more.

Does it, Master Cemil?

This time, it will be done, Grand Master.

Shahzada is keen on sports.

Javelin, wrestling

and boxing, which has become popular
in Europe recently.

Three days later, a champion boxer called
George Phillip will come to Istanbul.

He'll be in some title fights.

The tickets are already sold out.

The intel shows that Shahzada Mehmet
will be there.

Boxing matches you say, my Shahzada?

Yes. You know I'm keen on sports.

So, I'll join tonight's match.

I understand.

But it might not be safe for you.

Since it will be very crowded
it might be hard for me to protect you.

Don't worry about me, Mustafa.

But my duty is to worry about you,
my Shahzada.

You're right. I know.

Your duty is to protect me.

But I can't hide like a coward.

No harm will come to me, if God's willing.

If my gut is right...

...you and your uncle are in great danger,
more than you ever have been.

I won't ask how you consider this
after all those signs.

But I would like to know what you foresee.

The head of the Brotherhood, Milos.

He's been plotting something
even bigger than what he did

to topple your uncle. I'm sure.

Like what?

A revolution.

He'll try to topple our Sultan
for the second time.

What would he gain with that, Mustafa?

God forbid, if anything happened
to our Sultan

I'd have to sit on the throne.

Because our brother, Murat, is plotting.

So, what if...

...you couldn't make it,
my Shahzada, God forbid?

You're forgetting that our brother
is bedridden and paralyzed.

No one could enthrone someone
who is paralyzed.

I've been through a lot, my Shahzada.

What does that mean?

There are medications that
make you look like you're dead.

False paralysis.

Our brother couldn't think of such things.

But if we consider those
who are behind him...

...we must consider every possibility.

True.

I can't prove any of this yet.

But, no matter what, please do not go
to that match, my Shahzada.

What will the Germans say to this?

It's not important what the Germans think.

They are not as powerful as the British.

The power of the British?

And their unstoppable love for freedom.

As they merge with the Young Turks
who think they are saving the land...

another step is taken
towards the inevitable end.

THE BRITISH EMBASSY

It is high time that the Ottoman Empire
found the constitutional monarchy.

Don't you think so?

As long as the Sultan sits on the throne

we can't establish a
constitutional monarchy.

We can only dream about it, Ambassador.

Your Highness, Pasha.

What you want and what we want
is identical.

It seems to be so.

But toppling the Sultan
won't solve all the problems.

Shahzada Mehmet is the legitimate heir
to the throne.

Don't worry, Midhat Pasha.

We'll find a way for that too.

Ladies and gentlemen!

That great day...

...has come! The heat is on!

We'll watch a great match.

Soon!

Mustafa. Don't be upset.

I couldn't miss this match.

Ladies and gentlemen!

On my right, British Boxer, George Philip

who's got 18 wins out of the 18 matches
he fought in!

On my left, Yusuf the Black,
the Turkish lion!

Two victories out of two matches!

The big match is coming up next.

Up next!

Yusuf the Black!

What do you say, Mustafa?

The British guy looks tough.

Our guy's a novice.

Correct.

Box!

He'll bruise him badly.

You're right, Mustafa.

One, two, three, four

five, six, seven

eight, nine, 10.

Look at this!

I'm the champion!

Is this all you Turks have?

Come if you dare!

So, this is the strongest
the Turks have to offer.

Can no one oppose me?

I can!

Box!

One, two, three

four, five, six

seven, eight, nine, 10.

Are you all boys?

No men around? Scared?

It's impossible to best this man.
He's so strong.

You're right.

I'm asking you!
Is there no one to oppose me?

Have all of them hidden
under women's skirts?

My Shahzada. Would you allow me?

Are you sure?

-Heads or tails?
-Not this time, Mustafa.

Not this time, brother.

-Heads or tails?
-Tails.

-No, heads.
-Are you sure?

-Tails, yes.
-Heads.

I'll pick heads, Mustafa.

Are you sure?

-Okay, man, tails.
-Heads.

Answer me, come on! No one?

No man to oppose me?

I!

Ali!

He looks tough.

Ali's going to have a hard time.

I taught him some tricks.
He won't let us down.

God!

Punch!

My lion! That's it!

My lion!

Box!

One, two, three

four, five, six

seven, eight, nine

10!

My lion!

Ali!

Mustafa!

My Shahzada!

Ready the coach!

Don't die!

Don't!

Let's recite the Surah Al-Fatihah.

May he rest in peace.

May Shahzada Mehmet rest in Heaven.

This time, the Shahzada we want
on the throne is next. Shahzada Murat.

As far as I know,
the Shahzada is paralyzed.

Making people think what we want them to,
that's what we do.

Yes. Just as they think
that you're a mason

they think the Shahzada is paralyzed.

We injected medicine that
paralyzed him

Grand Master.
But we also have the formula to fix him.

Another step towards the inevitable end.

When the Shahzada recovers,
he will be brought to Istanbul, secretly.

And he will wait for the day
of his accession

in a mansion near the Palace.

Now, this is the most crucial and hardest
part of the plan, Grand Master.

What kind of shame is this,
Grand Vizier Efendi?

In the middle of Thessaloniki,
German Consul Apot and

French Consul Moulin are lynched
by the people.

-This is a plot.
-A very obvious one.

I can't imagine a better plot to lure
the Western countries to us.

It is obvious that someone paid some men
to agitate the public, my Pasha.

Supposedly a French Consulate staff
kidnapped and raped a Muslim girl.

Back up, gentlemen!
That's not what happened.

-I saw it with my own eyes!
-It's not true.

-It's absolute slander.
-Hand him over to us!

German Consul Apot was also there,
with French Consul Moulin.

They tore both of them apart.

A filthy plot, indeed. A filthy plot.

Also, it's our fault that as a nation,
we take the bait so easily.

You're right, Mustafa, you're right.

All the foreign ambassadors in Istanbul
are here to deliver a note, my Pasha.

Tell them the offenders will be found
and hanged in public

-as soon as possible.
-As you wish, my Pasha.

Relax, my Shahzada.
All our preparations are done.

If God allows, you'll have acceded
to the throne

on Wednesday 7 Jumada al-awwal.

Wednesday 7 Jumada al-awwal.

What a fortuitous day for me...

...to accede to the Ottoman throne
as I've been dreaming about for years.

Of course, on the condition that
you accept a constitutional monarchy,

as you promised.

Sure, Midhat Pasha. I'm a man of my word.

The moment I'm on the throne, I will take
the necessary actions in no time.

We don't doubt that, my Sultan.
For the sake of the Ottoman Empire

it is vital that you establish
a constitutional monarchy.

I'm aware.

I'm aware, Pasha. You take it easy.

You just make sure

that my uncle Sultan is dethroned,
as you promised.

With cooperation, if God allows,
my Sultan.

If you'll excuse me.

By the way, to execute
our plan perfectly...

...we need some money...

...my Sultan.

-Some money?
-About 10 thousand gold pieces.

10 thousand? It's a big number.

It's a small number for accession
to the Ottoman throne, my Shahzada.

You're right. What a cheap price,
for the Ottoman throne.

To help you accede to the throne,
this money represents importance.

This money will be distributed
to the students in the madrasah.

My Shahzada.

Maybe Hristaki the Goldsmith
can give us this money.

Send for him, secretly.

Tell him to come.

Do you know what the secret
is in matters like this, Master Cleante?

What?

To promote a sense of patriotism
and heroism for all the pashas

and other men who will participate
in the revolution.

For example, we're guiding the Shahzada

so that he can find the money
for the revolution.

What a sacrifice, right?

You guide the Shahzada himself
to find the money.

So that he won't feel
like he was sold out.

From now on, we can relax and sit back

and watch the Shahzada fall apart.

It's early for this. We only executed
the first half of the plan.

What's important lies ahead.

Extra!

Read about the verdict of the trial
of the six murderers

who tore the consuls apart
in Thessaloniki.

Tomorrow at dawn, the convicts...

Extra!

Read about the verdict of the trial
of the six murderers

who tore the consuls apart
in Thessaloniki.

Extra!

Don't you think this gallows thing
was too hasty?

You're right, my Mustafa. But imagine
the pressure on our Padishah, brother.

I won't. I don't believe our Padishah
would allow such a thing.

If there is a misunderstanding
in these convictions...

-...you know what will happen.
-My Mustafa.

Look, the oppression inside makes
one content with the one outside.

But it is up to Nedim Pasha
and Cadi Efendi.

They say those six guys
who are to be hanged

aren't related to the crime at all, Chief.

-What makes you think so?
-This is what's spoken in the streets.

They say Thessaloniki police arrested
six people who were previously convicted

of minor crimes to close the case
immediately.

-No way!
-This is what is spoken, Chief Ali.

That's why the public is so reactive,
they think those six guys are innocent.

After the executions tomorrow,
there will be chaos in the streets, again.

If it's for our Shahzada's own good,
money isn't a problem, Cemil Efendi.

You're right, Hristaki Efendi.

Everything is for our Shahzada's own good.

Our Shahzada's own good
is the Ottoman Empire's own good.

Then after midnight, send someone
to my place, to take the gold pieces.

I will, Hristaki Efendi.

I won't forget this kindness of yours.
Thank you.

You just accede to the Ottoman throne,
we won't ask for anything else.

-Farewell.
-Thanks, my Shahzada.

So, Cemil Efendi?

You were talking about
the student demonstration.

In Thessaloniki, after the executions
of six people who have been convicted

of the murder of the foreign consuls,

madrasah students will perform
a demonstration.

Of course, this demonstration will occur
thanks to Hristaki Efendi's money.

In short, this demonstration

will be your first step to the throne,
my Shahzada.

Come in!

My Sultan, Filinta Mustafa
implores to see you.

Let him in.

My Sultan.

What is this important matter
that you want to talk about?

-Tomorrow's executions.
-What about them?

My Sultan, with all due respect...

-...it's early for these executions.
-These cursed people

are a bunch of murderers
who regarded themselves as justice!

Without distinction between the guilty
and the innocent

with a hasty investigation...

A trial has proceeded for this,
Mustafa. The Cadi made his judgment.

Shaykh Al-Islam gave his fatwa
and I gave my orders.

My Sultan...

Look, Mustafa.

I like you, like my own son.

But since when have you started
to question me?

My Sultan, I just...

Mustafa!

God willing, you're not right, Mustafa.

Sharzan, cheers!

Cheers!

I toast in honor of your day
of accession, my Sultan!

The day I'm on the throne...

...the whole world will be yours.

Well, I don't want the whole world.

I want only you.

You're lying.

Don't lie to me.

Don't lie to...

Liar!

Liar!

It's not a lie. Everything I say is true.

7 Jumada al-awwal, Wednesday.

All the cannons of the Empire

will fire for Sultan Murat!

Yes.

They will celebrate my accession.

Girl, don't stare like that.
Come help the Sultan.

Let me!

Get out.

Get out.

Okay, come on.

My Sultan.

What happened, Mustafa?
Could you talk to our Sultan?

-I did, my Pasha.
-What did he say when he heard you?

A trial has proceeded for this,
Mustafa.

Since when have you started
to question me?

My Sultan, I just...

Mustafa!

-If you'll excuse me, may I go?
-Sure, Mustafa.

Wait for me, Mustafa. Mustafa!

Greetings, the Ottoman Empire's
source of pride.

-How are you?
-What do you want, Bekri?

I met a chick. She didn't talk to me.
She's got something to tell you.

-What does she want?
-She's full of secrets!

She says she'll talk only to you.
Even if it costs her her life.

Bring her.

Babe!

Come.

Don't rush. Relax.

-Filinta Mustafa.
-Here's Chief Filinta. Talk!

Filinta Mustafa, they will dethrone
our Sultan

and replace him with Shahzada Murat.

But Shahzada Murat is paralyzed.

Not the Shahzada I saw.

You hung innocent people!

You hung innocent people!

Shaykh Al-Islam Hasan Fehmi,
who gave the fatwa for these executions

must be deposed!

Huseyin Avni Pasha must be the Serasker!

The constitutional hero, Midhat Pasha
must be the Grand Vizier!

Prepare the coach!

Your Highness, Ms. Leyla Aunt,
your coach is ready. Let's go.

No need for a coach, Bekri Efendi.

Chief Filinta's direct orders.

We'll go to the hospital by coach.

Orders must be obeyed no matter what.

Not necessary, Bekri Efendi. I'll walk.

Then, I want to humbly accompany you.

No.

Then accept my men's company.
15, 25 or 35 men?

-Bekri Efendi.
-Yes?

I'll walk. I'll go alone.

Farewell. Take it easy.

Don't send anyone after me.

Ms. Leyla Aunt.

My eyes have always been like this.
Take it easy!

If anyone comes any closer,
we will take the necessary action.

Keep away from the gates!

We want Huseyin Avni Pasha
to be the Serasker.

Yes, we want Huseyin Avni Pasha
to lead our army.

Long live Avni Pasha!
Long live Midhat Pasha!

Load!

-We want to speak with our Sultan!
-We want to express ourselves to him.

If anyone comes any closer,
we will take the necessary action.

Keep away from the gates!

We won't step back unless
we speak with our Sultan!

Fire a warning shot! Ready!

We've got something to tell our Sultan!

All those people were executed in vain!

Warning shots, now!

Most of them are madrasah students,
my Sultan.

If you want, we can disperse the crowd
by firing at them.

Nobody will fire at the students, Pasha.

Unless we do something urgently

we might lose control of the crowd,
my Sultan.

So, what do they want?

The deposition of the Shaykh Al-Islam
Hasan Fehmi Efendi and

Midhat Pasha's appointment
to the Grand Vizierate.

And Huseyin Avni Pasha's reappointment
as Serasker.

Since when do students decide whom
to depose and whom to appoint, Pasha?

I'm afraid they don't even know
what they're demanding.

Mustafa has learned where
Shahzada Murat's is staying.

Do something, immediately.

I must help the Shahzada
escape from that house

and relocate him somewhere safer,
immediately.

Come on, my Shahzada, quickly.

We have to leave before they come.

He knows where I am.
That means he knows my intention.

-Come on.
-My intention...

He will kill me, Sharzan,
he won't let me live!

My Shahzada, quickly!

He won't let me live, Sharzan.
My uncle Sultan will kill me.

My Shahzada, quickly, my Shahzada!

He will kill me! He won't let me live.

-It's okay.
-Go talk to him, Sharzan.

Say I'm sorry.

Quick, my Shahzada, we have to go!

-My Shahzada, we have to go!
-The coach is ready. We can leave.

Quickly.

My Shahzada, we have to go.

Quickly, get up. Quickly.

Go!

He won't let me live...

We want to see the Sultan!
We want him to come down.

Hang on, my lions!

Hang on, my lions! I asked for back-up.
Hold on a little longer!

Clear the way.

Clear the way.

Come in.

-My Sultan, Mustafa implores to see you.
-Let him in.

My Sultan.

You were right, Mustafa.
The executions weren't right.

This is a plot. They're trying
to dethrone you.

No matter what, don't give them
what they want.

You have to disperse that crowd,
even if you have to use force.

I won't let anyone fire at students.

But they're trying to use the students
to harm you.

Who will replace me?

Ali saw him in person,
Murat is not fit for the throne.

Shahzada Murat is in Istanbul.

He's in Cretan Hasan Efendi's house
and he's pretty healthy.

Are you telling the truth, Mustafa?

Yes, my Sultan.

Come in!

My Sultan, Ruhi Pasha and Ali
are also here.

Let them in.

Could you catch them?

The house was empty, they weren't there.

We checked everywhere.

Bastards!

Mustafa.

-Go find that cursed one, Mustafa!
-But...

Go find that cursed one
and bring him, Mustafa!

My Sultan, the crowd is about to
get into the Palace. Please do something.

A FEW DAYS LATER

Supreme Master, welcome.

Thank you, Master Cemil.

Everything is done
according to your plan.

But, if Leyla hadn't informed you in time

that Shahzada Murat's location was exposed

all our efforts would have been wasted,
Master Cemil.

Thanks to Leyla, we could manage

to evacuate Shahzada Murat
from the mansion, just in time.

When Blade Ali arrived at the house

the Shahzada had already been
relocated to a safer place.

So, they returned empty-handed.

Because the student movement merged
with the civil commotion

it became even more effective.

That's why the Sultan had to accept

most of the demands of the protestors
who surrounded the Palace.

Except for the demand to make
Midhat Pasha the Grand Vizier

I accept all their demands.

We're going back to the old times,
right, Master Cemil?

Thanks to you, Supreme Master.

Master Cemil is right.

Thanks to your genius, we're going back
to our old times, Master Milos.

My Sultan, if you allow me.

They will try to dethrone you, again,
with a new coup attempt.

But we can expose all their scams,
with only one move.

What is that move, Mustafa?

Don't be present in the Palace
on 7 Jumada al-awwal.

Then all their efforts will be in vain.

Only you and I will know the place,
to which you'll take me.

Only you and me, Mustafa.

As you wish, my Sultan.

Keep it covered like this, for a few days.

You can take him to the ward.

God bless you.

-Why did you come here?
-We need to talk.

Aren't you aware of how dangerous it is
to come here?

Never mind that. It's an important matter.

They say Mustafa will sneak the Sultan
out of the Palace

and take him to a secret place
which only he knows.

If we can't find that secret place,
we will be done for.

So, Mustafa is aware of
what we're trying to do.

I think so.

-Then we have to cancel everything.
-No.

-Don't you understand the risk?
-This is the Supreme Master's decision.

We'll stick to the plan.

You just do what you're told.

Find out where Mustafa
will take the Padishah to.

That's it.

Garbis knows what to do.

Mustafa, I'll prepare some fruit.
Do you want anything?

-Isn't Nanny here?
-It's her day off.

No, thanks.

This won't hurt you.

Mustafa.

You!

You're all dead!

Did you hear me?

Calm down. Don't get angry.

If you get angry, we get angry.

When we get angry

we get angry with the girl, not you.

Understand?

What the hell do you want?

What do we want?

We want the Sultan.

Where will you take him,
on the evening of 30 May?

So, you have chosen me
to talk.

Is that so?

So, you won't talk?

We know how to make you talk,
Filinta Mustafa.

Look into my eyes.

Leyla,

even if it costs your life,

I won't share that information!

Understand?

The Sultan is aware of everything.

He's just playing with me.

He will behead me!

My Murat, please calm down.

Everything's okay, don't worry.

Look, the Sultan doesn't know
that you've recovered.

I can't calm down.

I can't.

He's aware of everything!

He will behead me.

The moment we thought it was all over,
you stepped in, again, Supreme Master.

And you moved the coup's date
up one day.

The Sultan thinks that the coup
will be staged on 31 May.

He took all the measures accordingly.

But we...

We will do something that he can't expect.

We will stage the coup
on the night of 30 May.

While the Sultan's waiting for Mustafa
to come and take him to a safe place

we'll be surrounding the Palace.

Besides,

all the cannons in our ships in Bosphorus
will be aiming at the Palace.

So, you are awake?

Where did you take Leyla?

She's disappeared.

We got what we want.

We no longer need you.

You see, although all those men
want to kill you,

it's going to be us.

Don't take it personally.

Blow his head off.

He took all the measures accordingly.

Also, a troop of Arabian soldiers
from Damascus who can't speak Turkish

will be located on the
shoulders of the Dolmabahce.

They will be told that
the barracks are not ready yet.

We'll say "Our Padishah's life
is in danger.

So, don't let anyone in the Palace."

Poor guys. While they think
they're protecting the Sultan

they will be preventing
any help from getting to him.

While the Sultan's waiting for Mustafa
to come and take him to a safe place

we'll be surrounding the Palace.

Once everything's done and
the palace guards drop their weapons,

Suleyman Husnu Pasha,
you will enter the Palace,

and inform the Sultan
about his deposition.

Stop!

Soldiers, load!

Aim!

Major.

Fire.

Again.

Don't worry, my love. We'll weather
this storm too, if God allows.

I will spend the night in a safe place.

My Padishah, forgive me.
