AT THE DAWN OF 1000 YEARS
FILINTA
AT THE DAWN OF 1000 YEARS
Leyla will get close to the Sultan
pretending to confess everything
in accordance with our plan.
She will poison the Sultan
with the needle on her ring.
We will enthrone Shahzada Murad,
in line with the plan we made
to eliminate the Sultan Hamid.
Mustafa?
It's over, Leyla.
Mustafa?
Mustafa listen to me.
You listen to me.
We know everything.
Whom you serve and all...
We know every single detail.
Mustafa listen to me.
Then game's over, Leyla.
What a magnificent plan, Supreme Master.
Of course the best part of it will be
revealed after the Sultan dies, Cemil.
After the Sultan dies,
everyone will hold Mustafa responsible
for his death.
How is that going to happen?
After Sultan Hamid dies
who is going to replace him on the throne?
Shahzada Murad.
We have made a clean sweep, Cemil.
A huge clean sweep.
Ali, Sureyya and Farah will die.
Akbar is in jail and soon to be hanged.
AMERICA
If the one behind the curtains still
does not appreciate us,
I'm ready to confront him too.
The one behind the curtains?
The power that can overthrow thrones
and crash empires with a single order.
Everyone thinks he's a person
but the power behind the curtains
is money, Cemil.
Money is such a thing
that even the most powerful man thinks
he can control it
but in fact the ambition for money
controls them instead.
The ones behind the curtains
are creatures controlled by this ambition.
Are we against them?
It's impossible to be against them
and survive at the same time
but for now they are against me.
In fact, they're not only against me
and the Ottomans
but all European organizations.
They sent Akbar here
but he wasn't any match for you.
If they are unable to achieve
what they want,
you can be sure they will send new ones.
Ethem.
Akbar.
Everyone who tried to enthrone
Shahzada Murad will be hanged.
You're going first, Akbar.
No one can hang me.
Why did you kill my Nihan?
It was nothing personal.
I killed her to escape.
That's all.
Akbar Efendi,
bear in mind that a winner emerges
after justice and not a fight.
A child.
Where are you taking me, Mustafa? To jail?
How long have you known?
What difference does it make, Leyla?
It makes a lot of difference.
How long have you known, Mustafa?
Mustafa.
If you ever loved me even a little
I can confront death fearlessly.
You loved me, right?
Mustafa, you must have loved me,
even if only for a single moment, right?
I loved you.
Any news from Leyla, Cemil?
Nothing yet, Supreme Master.
What if the plan didn't work and
Leyla was not able to poison the Sultan?
We need to figure out what's going on.
You're right.
Then do what is necessary.
As you command, Supreme Master.
-Leyla!
-Get in.
My girl!
-Leyla?
-Nanny, out!
Sit down here.
My Sureyya.
Farah.
Forgive me, sister.
I'm trying with all my power to bear it,
but I'm exhausted.
My God
Help me God.
You're taking me to jail.
Why are we here, Mustafa?
Listen to me carefully now.
I brought you home
because I know you love me.
I love you too.
Really?
Really.
The only way I can help Ali, you
and Sureyya is if you tell me
where that scumbag called Milos is.
We have no other chance to survive.
And after that?
We leave here.
You and me.
Really?
Really.
The only thing I need now
is to find out where Ali is
then I'll leave everything.
The two of us will go away to some place
where no one can find us.
-Some place where no one can find us.
-Some place where no one can find us.
Even dreaming of it is so beautiful,
Mustafa.
If only you knew what I'd do for
that dream.
Leyla entered the palace, right?
Yes she did, in fact I was on guard then.
Did she leave the palace?
I mean did you see anything?
I didn't.
-How come?
-Sir, after Mrs. Leyla entered
my watch ended and I left the gate.
Did you not hear anything about her?
No, I didn't.
Let me know if you hear anything.
As you command.
Haven't you got any power left, Ali?
You'll pay for all of the things
you've done.
Mustafa will make you pay for all of it,
Milos.
Don't be so sure.
Milos!
Calm down, Farah.
I'm done with you people
and your beloved Sultan will die
in three days.
You're right, Efendi Milos.
The Sultan will die in three days.
Leyla?
Have you fulfilled your mission?
Yes, Efendi Milos.
I poisoned the Sultan as you ordered.
When the Sultan dies
Shahzada Murad will replace him.
Shahzada Murad will say
that the one who kill the Sultan
is Mustafa, thus Mustafa will lose his life
at Sultan Ahmet Square
as a gallows bird.
Your Azrael is here, Milos!
Mustafa is here!
Leyla,
did you betray your own father
for Mustafa?
Milos!
I can't bear
to this loneliness
Take me with you
or you don't go as well
I'll be a fire for your love
don't burn my firewood
Take me with you
or you don't go as well
You Godless creatures!
My Sureyya,
my ocean-eyed wife.
My Sureyya,
what did you want from her!
What did you want!
What did you want?
My beloved!
My ocean-eyed!
May God stop my heart beating
if I let your blood dry.
I'll rip their hearts out.
I swear I'll rip their hearts out.
I will.
My lover branded me
with a hot iron
My God!
My God!
My Sureyya!
My Sureyya!
My youth
Take me with you
or you don't go as well
My condolences, Ali.
Thank you, my Sultan.
Mustafa Giyaseddin,
is a true son of our country.
I'm his father too from this day forward.
Mustafa Giyaseddin Efendi,
you are very lucky to have
such a father and an uncle.
May God preserve you for our country
and people.
Do you acknowledge your deeds
as halal for herself?
We do!
-Do you?
-We do!
-Do you?
-We do!
May God be pleased, Al Fatiha!
Esteemed Muslims,
God's command has taken effect
and our sister Mrs. Sureyya has been
united with God.
We Muslims are born three times
first one is when we come into this world
and the second is our death.
We are born again after we die
and walk towards God.
The third one is when we shall be
resurrected on the Day of Reckoning.
Those who martyr our people
are wrong in thinking that they are dead
for they are alive in God's presence
and have entered through the first door
of eternal life.
Esteemed women
of this nation have always been
by our side to carry the flag
of Islam and of our country
and they shall continue to do so.
For this reason, God forbid,
even if they butcher us into pieces
we'll die as 20 and be resurrected as 300.
We do not fear death
which grants us eternal life.
For this reason,
we shall not fall into despair.
Islam shall survive even if we die.
May our holy country and Islam endure.
My Sureyya, my ocean-eyed wife.
Now you have left here
both Mustafa
and I feel our hearts burning.
I'm afraid your feet will get cold.
Mustafa Giyaseddin gave up his boots
so that you would not get cold,
my Sureyya.
My son,
don't worry, we'll always
keep coming back to your mother's side.
We'll always come.
She'll see you grow up too.
She'll see you grow up as a lion.
If we have any deeds for you
may it be halal.
You acknowledge your deeds
as halal to us too, will you?
KREMLIN PALACE, MOSCOW
According to the intelligence we acquired
from our agents in Berlin and Istanbul
the Germans will certainly side
with the Ottomans in the event of war.
In this case,
what are the chances
for our army to reach victory?
I am requesting an immediate report
from you on this matter.
As you command, Your Majesty.
The Russian Tsar wants to go to war
and is afraid at the same time.
You are right, sir.
They desire to have English support
to fight the Ottomans.
Tsar Nicolas' real agenda
is with the Germans.
He wants the Germans
to stay out of the war.
It's unnecessary for them to fear
the Germans
because Germans are even greater
cowards than they are.
Germans are not cowards.
They are the greatest danger in our path.
They are very weak compared to us.
Yes they are for now
however they are developing really fast.
A nation is measured not only by
how developed it is but by its
culture too.
You should be careful
with some nations of the world.
Take the Turks, the main power
in the Ottoman Empire, for instance.
Turks would roar when we think they are
really sick and you'd be amazed.
Russians are afraid to fight the Ottomans
and the English desire to devour
everything without shooting
a single bullet. Greedy as always.
Sick Man.
They are all afraid of him.
Tell the commanders of the Russian army
to put pressure on their cowardly Tsar
and persuade him to declare war
against the Ottomans.
Is there any news from the encrypted
telegrams of the English, Russians
and the Germans?
Everything is moving along as you expected
they would, my Sultan.
The Russians are afraid of declaring war
against us because they think
the Germans are backing us.
The Germans are on our side but they
fear the English and the Russians.
The English are implementing
a wait and see policy as usual.
Sultan Hamid is playing
with them all by himself, like toys.
The Russians, the English and the Germans.
They, on the other hand, have labeled
the Ottoman Empire as the Sick Man.
If the man wasn't sick
then they'd be ruined.
In that case, there's only one solution
and that's the death of Sultan Hamid.
Deliver my orders to my inspector,
Akbar Eyyam, in Istanbul.
Sultan Hamid must certainly die.
Akbar has been captured, sir.
I know Akbar has been captured
but it would be very easy to rescue him
from the dungeon he was thrown into.
Contact our men inside the palace
who take direct orders from us.
Tell them to get Akbar out of prison.
We won't let Sureyya's blood dry.
You should keep calm.
We'll find that animal called Milos.
Come, come my sweet thing.
Come now! Come my sweet thing.
Stay like this.
Who are you? What are you doing
in my barn?
Help.
I can give you so much money. Help me.
You are hurt, sir.
No I can't be without you.
Mustafa, no.
Mustafa, I cannot live without you.
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
-Lets go.
-Mustafa!
Mustafa don't go!
Mustafa!
Mustafa please don't!
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
Ethem, Ahmet, find Hamdi immediately.
As you command, Chief.
Mustafa, I'll check the Galata area,
brother.
I'll be around Beyoglu.
Chief, I'll go check on the others.
Mustafa, can we talk?
Let's go.
Mustafa!
I know you are sad for her.
I know that she loved you in her own way,
regardless of what happened.
Her curse is being Milos' daughter.
She wasn't raised to love.
Milos raised her,
that's how much she can love.
I can't understand how a person can
not love and protect his own daughter
and can raise her to be a killer
to serve his own ambitions.
Actually he stayed away from her
for a while,
tried not to get her involved.
I don't know when she learnt it
but I think Leyla went along
in her life for years,
not knowing Milos was her father.
If it was otherwise he could have used
Leyla instead of me for Operation Pharaoh.
Leyla was in the lodge during that time.
An assassin is an assassin.
How can you do that to your own daughter?
It's insane.
Despite the fact that she was raised
by such a man,
Leyla couldn't kill you.
She couldn't.
Then you know why we're here, Hamdi Agha.
We know it. You're looking for Milos.
Yes, Hamdi Agha.
We swore we would find him.
That ignoble creature will be caught and
will pay for every crime he has committed.
All of the porters in Istanbul are under
the command of Chief Mustafa and Ali.
Don't you worry.
We will track him down eventually.
Even if he has gone right to the
bottom of hell you'll search and find him.
I want him alive and well.
He has crimes to pay for in this world
before the Day of Reckoning.
You understand me, right boys?
Understood, Bekri Agha.
Then why are you still standing here?
Come on! Move!
What are we going to do with this man,
husband?
We should inform the officers.
Don't be crazy, wife.
Didn't you hear the man saying
"I'll give you so much money"?
Just look at his clothes.
Obviously he is an aristocrat.
He is obviously a rich man.
I'll go find a doctor.
Stop. No doctor. Don't call any doctors.
Wait
Take this.
If you heal me I can give you a lot more.
No doctors.
How can we make you heal without one?
Find the man who cares for your horses.
Bring him to me.
Get him.
AMERICA
Have you delivered my orders
to the Russian Generals as I told you to?
Yes sir.
Then the Ottoman-Russian war
is soon to begin.
Have you prepared the reports I requested?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Tell me.
There's nothing to be worried about
our army is strong enough to be
victorious against the Ottoman
and German armies, Your Majesty.
Are you certain?
Yes, we are, Your Majesty.
We reached the same conclusions
as other commanders that our army
can easily beat both the Ottoman
and the German armies.
I can't feel as sure as you are
for some reason.
You mentioned our army was short of
many things in the report you provided
just two months ago.
You are right, Your Majesty.
We are short of some things
however the Ottoman army
is short of many things too.
The Ottoman army is in very bad shape.
If we renounce war, we'll be crushing
our national honor.
The most important thing that would
crush our national honor isn't
renouncing war but being defeated in war.
With the help of Christ our Lord, we
will not be defeated Tsar, Your Highness.
Everyone would think we were cowards
if we renounced war after threatening
the Turks for so long with war.
Enough!
Nicolas Alexander does not fear anything.
Now leave at once!
As you command.
According to reliable sources, Russian
generals wish to fight the Ottomans
despite everything, My Queen.
What is the Tsar's attitude?
We can say that he's convinced.
Is this information certain, Lord Martin?
Yes, my Queen, the generals convinced
the Tsar to go to war.
What would you like us to do about this?
We wait.
We will wait for the Germans' decision.
Have you started to review the attitudes
of the parties for the Berlin Conference?
Yes, Your Majesty.
If it is going to be held in another
venue, the English will insist on London.
You are right, sir.
War is inevitable.
What is your plan?
It's not the right move for us
to join the war yet, Your Majesty.
Fighting the Russians
and even the French at the same time
does not look viable.
Yes sir.
You are thinking about deterring them
by threatening to join the Ottomans.
If you permit me, Your Majesty.
Bluffing is a very dangerous game.
You should be careful.
The English and the Russians realized
the Germans' fears about joining the war
as we realized too, my Sultan.
No matter how hard we try,
the global powers
ruling the colonial network
will ignite a war
between us and the Russians.
The purpose of the powers behind
the curtain is to weaken us
and the Russians
by making us fight each other.
What about the Germans, my Sultan?
The Germans are afraid
but on the other hand they desire
a strong chair at this table of wolves.
The English and Americans are
concerned about the rapid development
of the Germans.
That is exactly why they desire to
weaken Germany too before it has
gained too much power, by forcing
them to join the Ottoman-Russian war.
Of course they desire that
but this brings up another matter
for the devil himself.
Such as, my Sultan?
In this case, Britain would be left
as the sole power in Europe.
The global capitalists
would not allow that.
Conflict is essential for them.
For global capital to survive
it needs a world in perpetual conflict.
They would not want a single country
to gain so much power.
That's why they weaken some
while they provide more power for others.
So that the conflict becomes continual,
and they do as they wish.
Then what can we do
in this situation, my Sultan?
First, we shall try to prevent war
by every means in our power
however as I just stated
we may not have much luck at it.
Second, we should make a viable
long term plan and make our
preparations according to that plan.
We have made inquiries, Chief
but there is no news about Milos.
Even the beggars searched him
but had no luck finding him.
Did you check the hospitals?
We did, Chief, he isn't anywhere.
Your rich man is a lucky one.
I gave him an injection.
He should sleep until tomorrow.
Inform me when he wakes up.
If he feels alright he can leave
but he should be careful with his arm.
Okay, I'll tell him Huseyin Efendi,
thank you.
Who's this man, Ragip?
I told you, I don't know.
I found him wounded in the barn.
He told me he would give me
so much money if I helped him.
You didn't get yourself into
any trouble, did you Ragip?
There's no trouble, I told you.
Let me walk out with you.
Has Akbar Eyyam, our man in Istanbul,
broken out of prison?
It has to be any time now, sir.
Who are you?
Why did you save me?
It doesn't matter who I am.
I work for the same bosses as you.
You'll be briefed on everything
tomorrow, now get into the carriage.
Adjutant!
Your adjutant left saying that he has
urgent matters to attend to, my Sultan.
How can he leave?
How can he do that without my consent?
I believe his child is ill, my Sultan.
Summon the German Ambassador immediately.
As you command, my Sultan.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE
We must counter the Germans' offer
to hold a conference in Berlin
with a tripartite conference
to be held in London.
Thus we will show the Russians,
Germans and Ottomans that we have
the power to initiate everything.
A clever move indeed, My Queen.
During the conference
we can find out more about
the attitudes of the Russians and Germans.
As you wish, Your Majesty.
Ambassador Efendi,
we are progressively
losing faith in your country.
We cannot be sure you will
keep the promises you made earlier.
Do not be concerned, Your Majesty.
My government stands by every promise
that it made to you.
I want Kaiser Wilhelm's written assurance
in order to be certain.
Deliver this to your government.
And do not talk about friendship
until that assurance has been sent to us.
We'll find that man called Milos.
Yes, Chief.
We couldn't find him today
but we'll find him tomorrow. Don't worry.
-Chief Mustafa.
-Go on.
I am sorry,
Chief but Mrs. Leyla
begged the guards to talk to you.
They say she has cried
and is in bad shape.
She said "Please tell Mustafa
that I want to talk to him."
Okay, Cevdet.
I'm leaving.
Chief!
Mustafa.
Mustafa, you came.
Sit down.
I was waiting for you, Mustafa.
It's over.
I don't love you.
I don't respect you.
Everything is over.
No, I can't be without you.
No, Mustafa.
I can't live without you, Mustafa.
Chief Mustafa!
Mustafa has left.
What is it soldier?
Chief Ali, Akbar Eyyam.
What about him?
They broke him out of prison.
What the hell are you talking about!
Who broke this Akbar out
and how did they do it, Adjutant?
I'm investigating, my Sultan.
Someone broke a man out
of the most secure prison in the city
without firing a single bullet!
Obviously we could not find out
who the traitors are
who infiltrated right into our bones,
Mustafa.
My Sultan,
every single guard who was on duty that
night has been found dead in their houses.
Except for one.
A guard named Necmi.
He's not at his home.
You shall find out for me
who is behind all of this, Mustafa.
As you command.
You failed in Istanbul, Akbar.
We broke you out so you can make up
for your failure.
I'm ready to carry out whatever
the order is.
We want you to organize
the assassination of Sultan Hamid.
This is your last chance.
If you fail again
you know how you are going to end up.
How can this happen, Mustafa?
It means they're still powerful
inside the government.
These devils are a government
within the government.
Our Sultan wants this matter
to be solved immediately.
I want you to find the traitor
who broke out Akbar the ignoble, Ali.
Every single guard who was
on duty on the night Akbar broke out
has been found dead. Except for one.
A guard named Necmi.
You are to find him, Ahmet.
As you command.
What about Milos, Mustafa?
We'll find him.
First you should focus on this matter.
My Sureyya's body isn't even cold yet,
Mustafa.
You have every right.
I have nothing left to say.
It's over.
I don't love you.
I don't respect you.
It's all over.
I have news, Chief.
Tell me, Hamdi Agha.
We have probably found the man you seek.
What?
Where did you find him, Hamdi Agha?
Last night
Huseyin Efendi who is a vet
in Kasimpasa area
went to check on
Milkman Ragip's horses.
The vet thought the horses were sick,
but he saw a wounded man there.
Move out!
In the name of God!
We want the money you promised us, mister.
Could you bring my jacket please?
This way, Aghas!
Here it is!
Ali.
KREMLIN PALACE, MOSCOW
We received a telegram from London,
Your Majesty.
They say they want to hold a tripartite
conference in London.
-Yes, sir.
-Of course
the English wish to find out how we are
positioned and the Germans' position too.
You are right, Your Majesty.
BERLIN PALACE
While you were organizing a conference
in Berlin the English got ahead of you.
They propose to convene a meeting
in London next week.
By the way, Sultan Abdulhamid asked
for a written assurance from us.
We are cornered, Chancellor.
We're not well enough prepared
to play this global game.
Mithat Pasha,
the English are organizing
a secret conference in London
with the Russians and the Germans.
In that case, the Germans will be
out of the game.
We are being isolated
in the event of any upcoming wars.
We would've caught him
if we had been here five minutes earlier.
What kind of a fate is this?
Don't say that, Galip.
Fate is from God.
I'm sorry, Chief.
Ali,
don't worry, we'll find him
but you do as I say first. We find Milos
and you find that infiltrator.
Chief.
Yes, Cevdet.
Mrs. Leyla.
She committed suicide, Chief.
All of our cells have been raided,
they've captured everyone.
They have destroyed
all of our organizations.
Whole organization will perish
if we don't do anything.
-True.
-He's right.
Enough! Shut up!
Look at yourselves, Efendis.
Yes, I am aware of the situation.
Put aside your concerns and fears.
What are we going to do, Efendi Milos?
Just as they attacked us
with all their power,
we'll do the same to them.
Have we got any power left, Efendi Milos?
The power of this organization
never ceases, Efendis.
Efendi Milos, come back to reality.
It's over, the Sultan has finished us.
We're all going to die if we stay here.
He's right.
We're all in danger.
All of her organs have been damaged.
The doctor says she cannot recover.
Who could imagine that someone
with so much ambition could kill herself?
Ali,
it's not out of ambition but out of love.
She just realized that
it's the end of the road for her.
It's a great sin to kill yourself,
Abdullah.
Our sister Leyla was brainwashed
and after she was awakened
she had to confront her conscience.
Peace be upon you.
And peace be upon you.
Yes, mister.
Are you the Horse Stealer Riza?
Depends on who's asking.
Let's say someone with a lot of money.
Then you just found your man.
I have committed a lot of sins.
I wanted to die to pay for my sins.
Mustafa.
Forgive me.
I know you don't believe me.
I loved you so much.
Mustafa.
I always loved you.
Listen
I understand now.
We would never have been happy.
Mustafa
love someone
and be very happy with her.
I loved you so much.
I always loved you.
Everything could have been so different.
Mustafa, forgive me.
Seek God's forgiveness, Leyla.
His mercy is the greatest.
There is no deity but God
and Muhammad is his Prophet and subject.
My God, I seek your refuge.
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Why?
ONE MONTH LATER
Leyla,
my daughter.
You are right, I kept the truth from you,
that you're my daughter
for a lifetime,
but I had to do that
to establish a new order in this world.
Sometimes our goals have to
take precedence over our love.
I was so close to succeeding.
It would only have been
a short step before I held
the Ottoman Empire in my hands
but Mustafa prevented me from
taking that step.
He ruined our plans.
He destroyed everything I spent
my whole life working for.
Even you, Leyla.
Mustafa even took you from me.
Love is a frailty, Leyla
and by loving Mustafa you fell for
this frailty
and I could not prevent it.
Your love caused both of us to be ruined.
Nevertheless this isn't over yet, Leyla.
Yes,
I lost my organization and all my powers
but I won't stop until I kill Mustafa
and have my revenge,
Leyla.
I will not stop.
I will not stop.
What is a father, Leyla?
What is a father?
A father is fire.
If you get too close it burns you
and if you get a little
further away it heats you.
A father is love, a father is protection.
A father is effort, Leyla.
What is a father's love
to my love for you?
Here's the plan to kill the Sultan.
The Sultan always performs
his Friday Prayers at Dolmabahce Mosque.
And he returns to his palace
right after the prayers.
We'll change the wheel.
The day before the prayers our man
in the barn of the Palace
will damage the wheels of the
Sultan's carriage.
This means they'll ask for new wheels
from the Palace.
Agop, you'll place
a bomb inside the wheels.
This will be a time bomb.
Set the time for right after
the Friday Prayers,
because the Sultan returns
to his Palace right after the prayers.
The bomb should explode
after the Sultan leaves the Prayers
and the Sultan should be
in the carriage.
As you command, Efendi Akbar.
You are dismissed now.
LONDON
We shall declare war if the Ottomans
do not implement the decisions
that have been made
in the Shipyard Conference.
We cannot let you divide up
the Ottoman Empire among yourselves.
We want our share
when the Ottoman Empire is divided up!
You are all dreaming.
You cannot do anything
without Britain's consent.
How dare you!
The war is inevitable!
We do not consent to it!
You are being presumptuous.
We shall all see who is being presumptuous
in the near future.
They are trying to crumble us
like dried leaves.
However, they cannot move beyond arguing
because they cannot come to an agreement.
We cannot ignite a war as long as they
are in conflict like this.
However this war
must certainly take place
and Germany must not be
part of the war.
The Ottomans should be left alone
against the Russians so that
both the Ottomans and the Russians
are seriously weakened.
Deliver my orders to the relevant parties.
All countries shall renounce
their desires.
Only one decision should emerge
from the conference.
The Ottoman government shall agree
to undertake reforms in Balkans.
If it does not agree to act accordingly
the other countries of the conference
shall have the right to take measures
to protect the Christian population
in the Balkan area. Thus according to
this protocol, the Russians' declaration
of war shall be legitimized
not giving rise to any objection.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
Come in!
-My Sultan.
-Yes.
Evil powers have made
the following decision in London
"The Ottoman Empire
must undertake reforms in the Balkans.
If not
the signatory countries shall take
necessary measures to protect
the Christian population in the area."
It suggests intervening in
our internal affairs, my Sultan.
You are right, Pasha.
This is unacceptable, my Sultan.
Unfortunately, everything is
coming to pass just as I anticipated.
We are facing pro-war capitalists,
and they are smarter than
European countries.
Under this protocol, any declaration
of war by Russia would be legitimized.
However, the Russians are not aware
of the hardships of a possible war.
What are we to do, my Sultan?
We founded this country in Anatolia.
Thus, our power derives from Anatolia.
Their power would be sufficient only to
trim the branches of the holly tree
that has emerged from these lands.
As long as we do not lose our connections
to our Muslim people in distant lands.
What about our Muslim people in Caucasia,
North Africa and the Balkans?
Will they not be protected?
As long as we live in Anatolia
as long as the root and the body
of this tree endures,
this retreat would only cause
new branches to come to life.
Yes, it may take some time
and may bring great suffering
but we shall ultimately
not be defeated.
There will be a new world order
in the future,
and in that world we shall occupy
our rightful and powerful seat.
As long as we do no lose our connections
to our Muslim people
in distant lands.
It is written! It is written!
The Russians have declared war on us!
It is written!
That mobilization has been declared!
My Sultan,
if you will give the order
we desire to go the battlefront with Ali.
Let us fight
the Moscow heathens, my Sultan.
Let us die for our country.
You have more important
matters to attend to here.
You will find the traitors
who infiltrated us.
You will make them pay, those
who killed my Sultan Uncle, Ruhi Pasha
Cadi Giyaseddin, my Pir, Mrs. Sureyya
and Circassian Hasan.
Recep, this horse is bad tempered.
I'm taking it to the stable.
I was just going to curry
the other horses. Let's go together.
War will bring destruction and tears
to these lands once more.
You're right, Namik Kemal.
May God help us all.
Amen.
We shall tend the lamps at the office
tonight, you go rest Mrs. Feriha
we'll see you at the office tomorrow.
Thanks, see you.
See you, Mrs. Feriha.
Escort the lady to her home.
Let's go.
Mahmud!
Is the wheel broken?
-Yes, my Agha.
-Are you not checking these properly?
It was safe and sound yesterday.
You are right, my Agha.
For God's sake. Our Sultan is going to
go to Friday Prayers in this carriage.
Inform Master Riza.
Have him bring a new wheel at once.
As you command, my Agha.
My God, where is this man going?
What is this place?
Coachman! Why did we stop?
What are we doing here?
Peace be upon you, Riza Agha.
And peace be upon you, Mahmud.
We are in a great need of a wheel
for our Sultan's carriage.
What happened to the wheel?
I don't know, Riza Agha.
We found it was broken. All of a sudden.
How peculiar!
Our Sultan will go to Friday Prayers
in that carriage.
Please tell me
you have one of those wheels.
You are in luck, Mahmud.
I have only one left.
Really? Thank you so much!
Hand it to me so I can take it with me.
No, you go.
I'll bring it to you myself.
You can't install it without me.
You're right. When can you come?
I'll be there in an hour, don't worry.
May God look upon you with favor.
Many thanks.
It's been a month, Sadik.
We've not found any trace of the guard,
Necmi.
We've looked everywhere, Ahmed.
We would know if he was dead.
We would hear about it if he had escaped.
It's as if he's been
swallowed by the earth.
-Ahmed.
-Brother.
-We've found him.
-Who?
We found the guard, Necmi.
Where is he?
Right in front of our noses.
Come on, move!
Please let me go!
What did I ever do to you?
Let go! Who are you? Let go of me!
Please let me go, I beg you!
Brother Bekri, our man is here.
Please, a penny for God's sake.
Please, a penny for God's sake.
Please for God's sake.
Poor man!
May God look upon you with favor.
Please, a penny for God's sake.
May God favor you.
Rich men tell God
to take care of the poor.
I'll teach you about God's favor,
the Prophet's favor and the importance
of helping the poor, one by one.
Understand?
You have 24 hours left, Sultan.
Then you'll be wiped from the face of this
earth tomorrow, after Friday Prayers.
We captured the guard Necmi,
with the help of God.
He was dressed like a beggar out of fear.
You scum!
Look at me.
Talk, you ignoble creature!
Is it true?
He's right, Chief.
It's true.
I saw the men who took Akbar.
-Did you bring it, Riza Agha?
-Yes, I did.
Master Riza is here, Agha!
-Welcome, Riza.
-Thank you.
Russian troops have gathered in the area.
We shall take our troops
to the Ivanova Ranch area
and catch the enemy
off guard after two days of marching.
Pasha,
I see many shortcomings in this plan.
With all due respect, my Sultan,
I have worked on this plan
for a very long time.
I believe this plan will succeed.
What do you think, Pasha?
Serasker Pasha is aware of the plan.
He agrees with it also, my Sultan.
Then you have the responsibility,
Redif Pasha.
If something goes wrong with this plan
I'll hold you responsible.
Don't worry, my Sultan.
We shall prevail, believe us.
-My Sultan.
-Yes.
Mustafa!
How can you enter without permission?
I'll explain if you permit, my Sultan.
He is the traitor in our midst, my Sultan.
He is the one who took Akbar
and infiltrated us.
He's lying, my Sultan. Don't believe him.
Mustafa.
Bring the guard!
The Sultan's adjutant.
They infiltrated so deeply.
They surrounded every corner
of the country like octopuses.
Ms. Farah!
Your mother.
Farah, stop!
Mother!
Mother!
This is only the beginning, Mustafa.
I'll kill everyone you love one by one.
And I'll kill you in the end.
I'll slowly rip away your loved ones
from you, Mustafa.
Everyone you love.
He cannot close his eyes to sleep
without seeing his father.
It's almost time now.
We'll get rid of you forever, my Sultan.
My God,
I believed in you and I sought
refuge with you.
Grant our soldiers victory.
Protect our country.
Let our state endure.
Be our leader on this path we walk,
my God.
Ejder,
my brother.
They stole our home.
Ejder.
They stole our names.
They stole our family.
They stole our childhood.
They stole our loves.
They stole our image.
They stole our past.
They stole our present.
But from this moment on
we are awake, my brother.
We are awake.
We'll wake up to a new morning
tomorrow, my brother.
Maybe,
someday, someplace...
Maybe.
Behave boy!
Who are you?
Who are you?
Galip!
Is that you?
Circassian, Galip.
Did you come here to visit me?
Come here, boy!
Blade Ali.
Come to me! Come, all of you!
Come to me!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
I'll ask you something.
Circassian or me?
Let's flip a coin.
Brother! Blade, brother!
I'm a little boy, brother!
I'm Fethi, brother!
Circassian...
Heads or tails?
Tails.
And Circassian Hasan gives his life.
You are in luck.
Blade brother! Blade brother.
Blade brother, I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything, Blade brother!
Blade brother! Blade brother!
Blade brother, I didn't do anything!
My Galip brother.
Do you recognize this?
Circassian Hasan's rope.
I knew him very well!
He loved me very much!
I'm innocent, Galip brother!
-Are you begging me for mercy?
-I didn't do anything!
I don't think Circassian Hasan begged.
I didn't do anything. Brother, please.
I'm innocent!
My Sultan.
Yes.
Would you like me
to have the carriage prepared?
Will you go to Dolmabahce Mosque
for Friday Prayers as usual?
Yes, I will.
Then we will go to
Ortakoy for Mrs. Feriha's funeral prayer.
As you command, my Sultan.
My condolences, Ms. Farah.
Thank you.
Nanny,
I entrust you with Ali's baby.
Don't worry,
I will not take my eyes off him.
Mahmud,
our Sultan is going to
Dolmabahce for Friday Prayers as usual.
Hurry up with the preparations.
-As you wish, my Agha.
-As you wish.
Two hours.
Approximately two hours left.
The Prayers are over.
This is his last minute.
My Sultan,
there's something I'd like to discuss.
I shall do what is necessary,
Sheikh al-Islam Efendi.
As you wish, my Sultan.
What's going on?
An explosion! It was close by!
Farewell, Sultan Hamid.
Let's go.
It's over, Farah.
Farah!
Farah.
Mustafa.
I love...
I love you.
It's over.
Who did it?
It was enormous.
We need help!
Who did it? Is the Padishah all right?
Who did this!
We need help!
What's this!
Be careful!
Where is our Sultan?
Thank God, our Sultan is alive.
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER
Akbar failed. He could not kill
Sultan Hamid.
He is finished now.
Whisper his whereabouts.
Milos has been captured too.
If we hand over Akbar too,
who is going to be
responsible for the Ottoman Empire?
As of now, the person responsible
for the Ottoman Empire is Herzin.
Cemil will be at his service.
Cemil!
My Efendi.
No one can be captured
unless we want them to be,
because we own the biggest key
in the world.
We own the money,
and money opens all doors.
Including the most well-fortified
dungeons.
Cemil, let me introduce you to your
new Efendi, Theodor Herzin.
While the Ottoman Empire collapses
the Israeli State shall emerge
after thousands of years.
I am placing you in the service of Herzin.
Akbar!
The game's up.
-Boo!
-Kill them!
Hang them!
-Traitors!
-Killers!
Kill them all!
-Have no mercy!
-They'll get what they deserve!
Show no mercy!
Hear these people!
A decision has been made by the Cadihood.
These men you see here have committed
the crime of attempting to destroy
the Ottoman Empire by violence
and trickery,
compromising the welfare
of the people and the state
and making an attempt on our Padishah's
life and therefore have been
sentenced to death!
Load the guns!
Aim!
Did he just pass out?
What happened?
He's dead.
-Is he dead?
-Yes he is.
Divine justice!
Fire!
Mustafa,
Ali.
You've endured great suffering.
We've endured great suffering.
Ali, you lost your child and wife.
Mustafa,
you lost all of your loved ones
and you suffered all these losses
for your country.
A new millennium is approaching.
This century's long neglected country
is resisting and it will
continue to do so.
And it will sow the seeds of the future
in the lands soon to be lost.
From Rumelia to Egypt and Africa to Asia,
everywhere the Azan is heard
we shall stand up
for our Muslim people.
The duty I am tasking you with is
to establish many brigades
and go to possibly lost
lands and protect our people there.
This duty is more demanding
than your previous duties,
however I know I can count on you.
You have never let me down up to now,
and I am sure that
you will not do so in the future.
Thank you, my Sultan.
My Sultan,
your wishes are our commands.
We have always been honored to obey them
however our country is at war.
We prefer to be side by side with our
soldiers at the front
rather than remaining here.
We shouldn't stay here,
we should be with them.
If nothing happens to us
at the front and God grants us
a long life, we shall be honored to
obey all of your orders when we return.
PERSONS AND EVENTS FROM HISTORY.
SOME EVENTS AND PERSONS
MAY BE FICTIONALIZED...
...FOR STORY TELLING PURPOSES.
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
Leyla will get close to the Sultan
pretending to confess everything
in accordance with our plan.
She will poison the Sultan
with the needle on her ring.
We will enthrone Shahzada Murad,
in line with the plan we made
to eliminate the Sultan Hamid.
Mustafa?
It's over, Leyla.
Mustafa?
Mustafa listen to me.
You listen to me.
We know everything.
Whom you serve and all...
We know every single detail.
Mustafa listen to me.
Then game's over, Leyla.
What a magnificent plan, Supreme Master.
Of course the best part of it will be
revealed after the Sultan dies, Cemil.
After the Sultan dies,
everyone will hold Mustafa responsible
for his death.
How is that going to happen?
After Sultan Hamid dies
who is going to replace him on the throne?
Shahzada Murad.
We have made a clean sweep, Cemil.
A huge clean sweep.
Ali, Sureyya and Farah will die.
Akbar is in jail and soon to be hanged.
AMERICA
If the one behind the curtains still
does not appreciate us,
I'm ready to confront him too.
The one behind the curtains?
The power that can overthrow thrones
and crash empires with a single order.
Everyone thinks he's a person
but the power behind the curtains
is money, Cemil.
Money is such a thing
that even the most powerful man thinks
he can control it
but in fact the ambition for money
controls them instead.
The ones behind the curtains
are creatures controlled by this ambition.
Are we against them?
It's impossible to be against them
and survive at the same time
but for now they are against me.
In fact, they're not only against me
and the Ottomans
but all European organizations.
They sent Akbar here
but he wasn't any match for you.
If they are unable to achieve
what they want,
you can be sure they will send new ones.
Ethem.
Akbar.
Everyone who tried to enthrone
Shahzada Murad will be hanged.
You're going first, Akbar.
No one can hang me.
Why did you kill my Nihan?
It was nothing personal.
I killed her to escape.
That's all.
Akbar Efendi,
bear in mind that a winner emerges
after justice and not a fight.
A child.
Where are you taking me, Mustafa? To jail?
How long have you known?
What difference does it make, Leyla?
It makes a lot of difference.
How long have you known, Mustafa?
Mustafa.
If you ever loved me even a little
I can confront death fearlessly.
You loved me, right?
Mustafa, you must have loved me,
even if only for a single moment, right?
I loved you.
Any news from Leyla, Cemil?
Nothing yet, Supreme Master.
What if the plan didn't work and
Leyla was not able to poison the Sultan?
We need to figure out what's going on.
You're right.
Then do what is necessary.
As you command, Supreme Master.
-Leyla!
-Get in.
My girl!
-Leyla?
-Nanny, out!
Sit down here.
My Sureyya.
Farah.
Forgive me, sister.
I'm trying with all my power to bear it,
but I'm exhausted.
My God
Help me God.
You're taking me to jail.
Why are we here, Mustafa?
Listen to me carefully now.
I brought you home
because I know you love me.
I love you too.
Really?
Really.
The only way I can help Ali, you
and Sureyya is if you tell me
where that scumbag called Milos is.
We have no other chance to survive.
And after that?
We leave here.
You and me.
Really?
Really.
The only thing I need now
is to find out where Ali is
then I'll leave everything.
The two of us will go away to some place
where no one can find us.
-Some place where no one can find us.
-Some place where no one can find us.
Even dreaming of it is so beautiful,
Mustafa.
If only you knew what I'd do for
that dream.
Leyla entered the palace, right?
Yes she did, in fact I was on guard then.
Did she leave the palace?
I mean did you see anything?
I didn't.
-How come?
-Sir, after Mrs. Leyla entered
my watch ended and I left the gate.
Did you not hear anything about her?
No, I didn't.
Let me know if you hear anything.
As you command.
Haven't you got any power left, Ali?
You'll pay for all of the things
you've done.
Mustafa will make you pay for all of it,
Milos.
Don't be so sure.
Milos!
Calm down, Farah.
I'm done with you people
and your beloved Sultan will die
in three days.
You're right, Efendi Milos.
The Sultan will die in three days.
Leyla?
Have you fulfilled your mission?
Yes, Efendi Milos.
I poisoned the Sultan as you ordered.
When the Sultan dies
Shahzada Murad will replace him.
Shahzada Murad will say
that the one who kill the Sultan
is Mustafa, thus Mustafa will lose his life
at Sultan Ahmet Square
as a gallows bird.
Your Azrael is here, Milos!
Mustafa is here!
Leyla,
did you betray your own father
for Mustafa?
Milos!
I can't bear
to this loneliness
Take me with you
or you don't go as well
I'll be a fire for your love
don't burn my firewood
Take me with you
or you don't go as well
You Godless creatures!
My Sureyya,
my ocean-eyed wife.
My Sureyya,
what did you want from her!
What did you want!
What did you want?
My beloved!
My ocean-eyed!
May God stop my heart beating
if I let your blood dry.
I'll rip their hearts out.
I swear I'll rip their hearts out.
I will.
My lover branded me
with a hot iron
My God!
My God!
My Sureyya!
My Sureyya!
My youth
Take me with you
or you don't go as well
My condolences, Ali.
Thank you, my Sultan.
Mustafa Giyaseddin,
is a true son of our country.
I'm his father too from this day forward.
Mustafa Giyaseddin Efendi,
you are very lucky to have
such a father and an uncle.
May God preserve you for our country
and people.
Do you acknowledge your deeds
as halal for herself?
We do!
-Do you?
-We do!
-Do you?
-We do!
May God be pleased, Al Fatiha!
Esteemed Muslims,
God's command has taken effect
and our sister Mrs. Sureyya has been
united with God.
We Muslims are born three times
first one is when we come into this world
and the second is our death.
We are born again after we die
and walk towards God.
The third one is when we shall be
resurrected on the Day of Reckoning.
Those who martyr our people
are wrong in thinking that they are dead
for they are alive in God's presence
and have entered through the first door
of eternal life.
Esteemed women
of this nation have always been
by our side to carry the flag
of Islam and of our country
and they shall continue to do so.
For this reason, God forbid,
even if they butcher us into pieces
we'll die as 20 and be resurrected as 300.
We do not fear death
which grants us eternal life.
For this reason,
we shall not fall into despair.
Islam shall survive even if we die.
May our holy country and Islam endure.
My Sureyya, my ocean-eyed wife.
Now you have left here
both Mustafa
and I feel our hearts burning.
I'm afraid your feet will get cold.
Mustafa Giyaseddin gave up his boots
so that you would not get cold,
my Sureyya.
My son,
don't worry, we'll always
keep coming back to your mother's side.
We'll always come.
She'll see you grow up too.
She'll see you grow up as a lion.
If we have any deeds for you
may it be halal.
You acknowledge your deeds
as halal to us too, will you?
KREMLIN PALACE, MOSCOW
According to the intelligence we acquired
from our agents in Berlin and Istanbul
the Germans will certainly side
with the Ottomans in the event of war.
In this case,
what are the chances
for our army to reach victory?
I am requesting an immediate report
from you on this matter.
As you command, Your Majesty.
The Russian Tsar wants to go to war
and is afraid at the same time.
You are right, sir.
They desire to have English support
to fight the Ottomans.
Tsar Nicolas' real agenda
is with the Germans.
He wants the Germans
to stay out of the war.
It's unnecessary for them to fear
the Germans
because Germans are even greater
cowards than they are.
Germans are not cowards.
They are the greatest danger in our path.
They are very weak compared to us.
Yes they are for now
however they are developing really fast.
A nation is measured not only by
how developed it is but by its
culture too.
You should be careful
with some nations of the world.
Take the Turks, the main power
in the Ottoman Empire, for instance.
Turks would roar when we think they are
really sick and you'd be amazed.
Russians are afraid to fight the Ottomans
and the English desire to devour
everything without shooting
a single bullet. Greedy as always.
Sick Man.
They are all afraid of him.
Tell the commanders of the Russian army
to put pressure on their cowardly Tsar
and persuade him to declare war
against the Ottomans.
Is there any news from the encrypted
telegrams of the English, Russians
and the Germans?
Everything is moving along as you expected
they would, my Sultan.
The Russians are afraid of declaring war
against us because they think
the Germans are backing us.
The Germans are on our side but they
fear the English and the Russians.
The English are implementing
a wait and see policy as usual.
Sultan Hamid is playing
with them all by himself, like toys.
The Russians, the English and the Germans.
They, on the other hand, have labeled
the Ottoman Empire as the Sick Man.
If the man wasn't sick
then they'd be ruined.
In that case, there's only one solution
and that's the death of Sultan Hamid.
Deliver my orders to my inspector,
Akbar Eyyam, in Istanbul.
Sultan Hamid must certainly die.
Akbar has been captured, sir.
I know Akbar has been captured
but it would be very easy to rescue him
from the dungeon he was thrown into.
Contact our men inside the palace
who take direct orders from us.
Tell them to get Akbar out of prison.
We won't let Sureyya's blood dry.
You should keep calm.
We'll find that animal called Milos.
Come, come my sweet thing.
Come now! Come my sweet thing.
Stay like this.
Who are you? What are you doing
in my barn?
Help.
I can give you so much money. Help me.
You are hurt, sir.
No I can't be without you.
Mustafa, no.
Mustafa, I cannot live without you.
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
-Lets go.
-Mustafa!
Mustafa don't go!
Mustafa!
Mustafa please don't!
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
Mustafa!
Ethem, Ahmet, find Hamdi immediately.
As you command, Chief.
Mustafa, I'll check the Galata area,
brother.
I'll be around Beyoglu.
Chief, I'll go check on the others.
Mustafa, can we talk?
Let's go.
Mustafa!
I know you are sad for her.
I know that she loved you in her own way,
regardless of what happened.
Her curse is being Milos' daughter.
She wasn't raised to love.
Milos raised her,
that's how much she can love.
I can't understand how a person can
not love and protect his own daughter
and can raise her to be a killer
to serve his own ambitions.
Actually he stayed away from her
for a while,
tried not to get her involved.
I don't know when she learnt it
but I think Leyla went along
in her life for years,
not knowing Milos was her father.
If it was otherwise he could have used
Leyla instead of me for Operation Pharaoh.
Leyla was in the lodge during that time.
An assassin is an assassin.
How can you do that to your own daughter?
It's insane.
Despite the fact that she was raised
by such a man,
Leyla couldn't kill you.
She couldn't.
Then you know why we're here, Hamdi Agha.
We know it. You're looking for Milos.
Yes, Hamdi Agha.
We swore we would find him.
That ignoble creature will be caught and
will pay for every crime he has committed.
All of the porters in Istanbul are under
the command of Chief Mustafa and Ali.
Don't you worry.
We will track him down eventually.
Even if he has gone right to the
bottom of hell you'll search and find him.
I want him alive and well.
He has crimes to pay for in this world
before the Day of Reckoning.
You understand me, right boys?
Understood, Bekri Agha.
Then why are you still standing here?
Come on! Move!
What are we going to do with this man,
husband?
We should inform the officers.
Don't be crazy, wife.
Didn't you hear the man saying
"I'll give you so much money"?
Just look at his clothes.
Obviously he is an aristocrat.
He is obviously a rich man.
I'll go find a doctor.
Stop. No doctor. Don't call any doctors.
Wait
Take this.
If you heal me I can give you a lot more.
No doctors.
How can we make you heal without one?
Find the man who cares for your horses.
Bring him to me.
Get him.
AMERICA
Have you delivered my orders
to the Russian Generals as I told you to?
Yes sir.
Then the Ottoman-Russian war
is soon to begin.
Have you prepared the reports I requested?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Tell me.
There's nothing to be worried about
our army is strong enough to be
victorious against the Ottoman
and German armies, Your Majesty.
Are you certain?
Yes, we are, Your Majesty.
We reached the same conclusions
as other commanders that our army
can easily beat both the Ottoman
and the German armies.
I can't feel as sure as you are
for some reason.
You mentioned our army was short of
many things in the report you provided
just two months ago.
You are right, Your Majesty.
We are short of some things
however the Ottoman army
is short of many things too.
The Ottoman army is in very bad shape.
If we renounce war, we'll be crushing
our national honor.
The most important thing that would
crush our national honor isn't
renouncing war but being defeated in war.
With the help of Christ our Lord, we
will not be defeated Tsar, Your Highness.
Everyone would think we were cowards
if we renounced war after threatening
the Turks for so long with war.
Enough!
Nicolas Alexander does not fear anything.
Now leave at once!
As you command.
According to reliable sources, Russian
generals wish to fight the Ottomans
despite everything, My Queen.
What is the Tsar's attitude?
We can say that he's convinced.
Is this information certain, Lord Martin?
Yes, my Queen, the generals convinced
the Tsar to go to war.
What would you like us to do about this?
We wait.
We will wait for the Germans' decision.
Have you started to review the attitudes
of the parties for the Berlin Conference?
Yes, Your Majesty.
If it is going to be held in another
venue, the English will insist on London.
You are right, sir.
War is inevitable.
What is your plan?
It's not the right move for us
to join the war yet, Your Majesty.
Fighting the Russians
and even the French at the same time
does not look viable.
Yes sir.
You are thinking about deterring them
by threatening to join the Ottomans.
If you permit me, Your Majesty.
Bluffing is a very dangerous game.
You should be careful.
The English and the Russians realized
the Germans' fears about joining the war
as we realized too, my Sultan.
No matter how hard we try,
the global powers
ruling the colonial network
will ignite a war
between us and the Russians.
The purpose of the powers behind
the curtain is to weaken us
and the Russians
by making us fight each other.
What about the Germans, my Sultan?
The Germans are afraid
but on the other hand they desire
a strong chair at this table of wolves.
The English and Americans are
concerned about the rapid development
of the Germans.
That is exactly why they desire to
weaken Germany too before it has
gained too much power, by forcing
them to join the Ottoman-Russian war.
Of course they desire that
but this brings up another matter
for the devil himself.
Such as, my Sultan?
In this case, Britain would be left
as the sole power in Europe.
The global capitalists
would not allow that.
Conflict is essential for them.
For global capital to survive
it needs a world in perpetual conflict.
They would not want a single country
to gain so much power.
That's why they weaken some
while they provide more power for others.
So that the conflict becomes continual,
and they do as they wish.
Then what can we do
in this situation, my Sultan?
First, we shall try to prevent war
by every means in our power
however as I just stated
we may not have much luck at it.
Second, we should make a viable
long term plan and make our
preparations according to that plan.
We have made inquiries, Chief
but there is no news about Milos.
Even the beggars searched him
but had no luck finding him.
Did you check the hospitals?
We did, Chief, he isn't anywhere.
Your rich man is a lucky one.
I gave him an injection.
He should sleep until tomorrow.
Inform me when he wakes up.
If he feels alright he can leave
but he should be careful with his arm.
Okay, I'll tell him Huseyin Efendi,
thank you.
Who's this man, Ragip?
I told you, I don't know.
I found him wounded in the barn.
He told me he would give me
so much money if I helped him.
You didn't get yourself into
any trouble, did you Ragip?
There's no trouble, I told you.
Let me walk out with you.
Has Akbar Eyyam, our man in Istanbul,
broken out of prison?
It has to be any time now, sir.
Who are you?
Why did you save me?
It doesn't matter who I am.
I work for the same bosses as you.
You'll be briefed on everything
tomorrow, now get into the carriage.
Adjutant!
Your adjutant left saying that he has
urgent matters to attend to, my Sultan.
How can he leave?
How can he do that without my consent?
I believe his child is ill, my Sultan.
Summon the German Ambassador immediately.
As you command, my Sultan.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE
We must counter the Germans' offer
to hold a conference in Berlin
with a tripartite conference
to be held in London.
Thus we will show the Russians,
Germans and Ottomans that we have
the power to initiate everything.
A clever move indeed, My Queen.
During the conference
we can find out more about
the attitudes of the Russians and Germans.
As you wish, Your Majesty.
Ambassador Efendi,
we are progressively
losing faith in your country.
We cannot be sure you will
keep the promises you made earlier.
Do not be concerned, Your Majesty.
My government stands by every promise
that it made to you.
I want Kaiser Wilhelm's written assurance
in order to be certain.
Deliver this to your government.
And do not talk about friendship
until that assurance has been sent to us.
We'll find that man called Milos.
Yes, Chief.
We couldn't find him today
but we'll find him tomorrow. Don't worry.
-Chief Mustafa.
-Go on.
I am sorry,
Chief but Mrs. Leyla
begged the guards to talk to you.
They say she has cried
and is in bad shape.
She said "Please tell Mustafa
that I want to talk to him."
Okay, Cevdet.
I'm leaving.
Chief!
Mustafa.
Mustafa, you came.
Sit down.
I was waiting for you, Mustafa.
It's over.
I don't love you.
I don't respect you.
Everything is over.
No, I can't be without you.
No, Mustafa.
I can't live without you, Mustafa.
Chief Mustafa!
Mustafa has left.
What is it soldier?
Chief Ali, Akbar Eyyam.
What about him?
They broke him out of prison.
What the hell are you talking about!
Who broke this Akbar out
and how did they do it, Adjutant?
I'm investigating, my Sultan.
Someone broke a man out
of the most secure prison in the city
without firing a single bullet!
Obviously we could not find out
who the traitors are
who infiltrated right into our bones,
Mustafa.
My Sultan,
every single guard who was on duty that
night has been found dead in their houses.
Except for one.
A guard named Necmi.
He's not at his home.
You shall find out for me
who is behind all of this, Mustafa.
As you command.
You failed in Istanbul, Akbar.
We broke you out so you can make up
for your failure.
I'm ready to carry out whatever
the order is.
We want you to organize
the assassination of Sultan Hamid.
This is your last chance.
If you fail again
you know how you are going to end up.
How can this happen, Mustafa?
It means they're still powerful
inside the government.
These devils are a government
within the government.
Our Sultan wants this matter
to be solved immediately.
I want you to find the traitor
who broke out Akbar the ignoble, Ali.
Every single guard who was
on duty on the night Akbar broke out
has been found dead. Except for one.
A guard named Necmi.
You are to find him, Ahmet.
As you command.
What about Milos, Mustafa?
We'll find him.
First you should focus on this matter.
My Sureyya's body isn't even cold yet,
Mustafa.
You have every right.
I have nothing left to say.
It's over.
I don't love you.
I don't respect you.
It's all over.
I have news, Chief.
Tell me, Hamdi Agha.
We have probably found the man you seek.
What?
Where did you find him, Hamdi Agha?
Last night
Huseyin Efendi who is a vet
in Kasimpasa area
went to check on
Milkman Ragip's horses.
The vet thought the horses were sick,
but he saw a wounded man there.
Move out!
In the name of God!
We want the money you promised us, mister.
Could you bring my jacket please?
This way, Aghas!
Here it is!
Ali.
KREMLIN PALACE, MOSCOW
We received a telegram from London,
Your Majesty.
They say they want to hold a tripartite
conference in London.
-Yes, sir.
-Of course
the English wish to find out how we are
positioned and the Germans' position too.
You are right, Your Majesty.
BERLIN PALACE
While you were organizing a conference
in Berlin the English got ahead of you.
They propose to convene a meeting
in London next week.
By the way, Sultan Abdulhamid asked
for a written assurance from us.
We are cornered, Chancellor.
We're not well enough prepared
to play this global game.
Mithat Pasha,
the English are organizing
a secret conference in London
with the Russians and the Germans.
In that case, the Germans will be
out of the game.
We are being isolated
in the event of any upcoming wars.
We would've caught him
if we had been here five minutes earlier.
What kind of a fate is this?
Don't say that, Galip.
Fate is from God.
I'm sorry, Chief.
Ali,
don't worry, we'll find him
but you do as I say first. We find Milos
and you find that infiltrator.
Chief.
Yes, Cevdet.
Mrs. Leyla.
She committed suicide, Chief.
All of our cells have been raided,
they've captured everyone.
They have destroyed
all of our organizations.
Whole organization will perish
if we don't do anything.
-True.
-He's right.
Enough! Shut up!
Look at yourselves, Efendis.
Yes, I am aware of the situation.
Put aside your concerns and fears.
What are we going to do, Efendi Milos?
Just as they attacked us
with all their power,
we'll do the same to them.
Have we got any power left, Efendi Milos?
The power of this organization
never ceases, Efendis.
Efendi Milos, come back to reality.
It's over, the Sultan has finished us.
We're all going to die if we stay here.
He's right.
We're all in danger.
All of her organs have been damaged.
The doctor says she cannot recover.
Who could imagine that someone
with so much ambition could kill herself?
Ali,
it's not out of ambition but out of love.
She just realized that
it's the end of the road for her.
It's a great sin to kill yourself,
Abdullah.
Our sister Leyla was brainwashed
and after she was awakened
she had to confront her conscience.
Peace be upon you.
And peace be upon you.
Yes, mister.
Are you the Horse Stealer Riza?
Depends on who's asking.
Let's say someone with a lot of money.
Then you just found your man.
I have committed a lot of sins.
I wanted to die to pay for my sins.
Mustafa.
Forgive me.
I know you don't believe me.
I loved you so much.
Mustafa.
I always loved you.
Listen
I understand now.
We would never have been happy.
Mustafa
love someone
and be very happy with her.
I loved you so much.
I always loved you.
Everything could have been so different.
Mustafa, forgive me.
Seek God's forgiveness, Leyla.
His mercy is the greatest.
There is no deity but God
and Muhammad is his Prophet and subject.
My God, I seek your refuge.
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Why?
ONE MONTH LATER
Leyla,
my daughter.
You are right, I kept the truth from you,
that you're my daughter
for a lifetime,
but I had to do that
to establish a new order in this world.
Sometimes our goals have to
take precedence over our love.
I was so close to succeeding.
It would only have been
a short step before I held
the Ottoman Empire in my hands
but Mustafa prevented me from
taking that step.
He ruined our plans.
He destroyed everything I spent
my whole life working for.
Even you, Leyla.
Mustafa even took you from me.
Love is a frailty, Leyla
and by loving Mustafa you fell for
this frailty
and I could not prevent it.
Your love caused both of us to be ruined.
Nevertheless this isn't over yet, Leyla.
Yes,
I lost my organization and all my powers
but I won't stop until I kill Mustafa
and have my revenge,
Leyla.
I will not stop.
I will not stop.
What is a father, Leyla?
What is a father?
A father is fire.
If you get too close it burns you
and if you get a little
further away it heats you.
A father is love, a father is protection.
A father is effort, Leyla.
What is a father's love
to my love for you?
Here's the plan to kill the Sultan.
The Sultan always performs
his Friday Prayers at Dolmabahce Mosque.
And he returns to his palace
right after the prayers.
We'll change the wheel.
The day before the prayers our man
in the barn of the Palace
will damage the wheels of the
Sultan's carriage.
This means they'll ask for new wheels
from the Palace.
Agop, you'll place
a bomb inside the wheels.
This will be a time bomb.
Set the time for right after
the Friday Prayers,
because the Sultan returns
to his Palace right after the prayers.
The bomb should explode
after the Sultan leaves the Prayers
and the Sultan should be
in the carriage.
As you command, Efendi Akbar.
You are dismissed now.
LONDON
We shall declare war if the Ottomans
do not implement the decisions
that have been made
in the Shipyard Conference.
We cannot let you divide up
the Ottoman Empire among yourselves.
We want our share
when the Ottoman Empire is divided up!
You are all dreaming.
You cannot do anything
without Britain's consent.
How dare you!
The war is inevitable!
We do not consent to it!
You are being presumptuous.
We shall all see who is being presumptuous
in the near future.
They are trying to crumble us
like dried leaves.
However, they cannot move beyond arguing
because they cannot come to an agreement.
We cannot ignite a war as long as they
are in conflict like this.
However this war
must certainly take place
and Germany must not be
part of the war.
The Ottomans should be left alone
against the Russians so that
both the Ottomans and the Russians
are seriously weakened.
Deliver my orders to the relevant parties.
All countries shall renounce
their desires.
Only one decision should emerge
from the conference.
The Ottoman government shall agree
to undertake reforms in Balkans.
If it does not agree to act accordingly
the other countries of the conference
shall have the right to take measures
to protect the Christian population
in the Balkan area. Thus according to
this protocol, the Russians' declaration
of war shall be legitimized
not giving rise to any objection.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
Come in!
-My Sultan.
-Yes.
Evil powers have made
the following decision in London
"The Ottoman Empire
must undertake reforms in the Balkans.
If not
the signatory countries shall take
necessary measures to protect
the Christian population in the area."
It suggests intervening in
our internal affairs, my Sultan.
You are right, Pasha.
This is unacceptable, my Sultan.
Unfortunately, everything is
coming to pass just as I anticipated.
We are facing pro-war capitalists,
and they are smarter than
European countries.
Under this protocol, any declaration
of war by Russia would be legitimized.
However, the Russians are not aware
of the hardships of a possible war.
What are we to do, my Sultan?
We founded this country in Anatolia.
Thus, our power derives from Anatolia.
Their power would be sufficient only to
trim the branches of the holly tree
that has emerged from these lands.
As long as we do not lose our connections
to our Muslim people in distant lands.
What about our Muslim people in Caucasia,
North Africa and the Balkans?
Will they not be protected?
As long as we live in Anatolia
as long as the root and the body
of this tree endures,
this retreat would only cause
new branches to come to life.
Yes, it may take some time
and may bring great suffering
but we shall ultimately
not be defeated.
There will be a new world order
in the future,
and in that world we shall occupy
our rightful and powerful seat.
As long as we do no lose our connections
to our Muslim people
in distant lands.
It is written! It is written!
The Russians have declared war on us!
It is written!
That mobilization has been declared!
My Sultan,
if you will give the order
we desire to go the battlefront with Ali.
Let us fight
the Moscow heathens, my Sultan.
Let us die for our country.
You have more important
matters to attend to here.
You will find the traitors
who infiltrated us.
You will make them pay, those
who killed my Sultan Uncle, Ruhi Pasha
Cadi Giyaseddin, my Pir, Mrs. Sureyya
and Circassian Hasan.
Recep, this horse is bad tempered.
I'm taking it to the stable.
I was just going to curry
the other horses. Let's go together.
War will bring destruction and tears
to these lands once more.
You're right, Namik Kemal.
May God help us all.
Amen.
We shall tend the lamps at the office
tonight, you go rest Mrs. Feriha
we'll see you at the office tomorrow.
Thanks, see you.
See you, Mrs. Feriha.
Escort the lady to her home.
Let's go.
Mahmud!
Is the wheel broken?
-Yes, my Agha.
-Are you not checking these properly?
It was safe and sound yesterday.
You are right, my Agha.
For God's sake. Our Sultan is going to
go to Friday Prayers in this carriage.
Inform Master Riza.
Have him bring a new wheel at once.
As you command, my Agha.
My God, where is this man going?
What is this place?
Coachman! Why did we stop?
What are we doing here?
Peace be upon you, Riza Agha.
And peace be upon you, Mahmud.
We are in a great need of a wheel
for our Sultan's carriage.
What happened to the wheel?
I don't know, Riza Agha.
We found it was broken. All of a sudden.
How peculiar!
Our Sultan will go to Friday Prayers
in that carriage.
Please tell me
you have one of those wheels.
You are in luck, Mahmud.
I have only one left.
Really? Thank you so much!
Hand it to me so I can take it with me.
No, you go.
I'll bring it to you myself.
You can't install it without me.
You're right. When can you come?
I'll be there in an hour, don't worry.
May God look upon you with favor.
Many thanks.
It's been a month, Sadik.
We've not found any trace of the guard,
Necmi.
We've looked everywhere, Ahmed.
We would know if he was dead.
We would hear about it if he had escaped.
It's as if he's been
swallowed by the earth.
-Ahmed.
-Brother.
-We've found him.
-Who?
We found the guard, Necmi.
Where is he?
Right in front of our noses.
Come on, move!
Please let me go!
What did I ever do to you?
Let go! Who are you? Let go of me!
Please let me go, I beg you!
Brother Bekri, our man is here.
Please, a penny for God's sake.
Please, a penny for God's sake.
Please for God's sake.
Poor man!
May God look upon you with favor.
Please, a penny for God's sake.
May God favor you.
Rich men tell God
to take care of the poor.
I'll teach you about God's favor,
the Prophet's favor and the importance
of helping the poor, one by one.
Understand?
You have 24 hours left, Sultan.
Then you'll be wiped from the face of this
earth tomorrow, after Friday Prayers.
We captured the guard Necmi,
with the help of God.
He was dressed like a beggar out of fear.
You scum!
Look at me.
Talk, you ignoble creature!
Is it true?
He's right, Chief.
It's true.
I saw the men who took Akbar.
-Did you bring it, Riza Agha?
-Yes, I did.
Master Riza is here, Agha!
-Welcome, Riza.
-Thank you.
Russian troops have gathered in the area.
We shall take our troops
to the Ivanova Ranch area
and catch the enemy
off guard after two days of marching.
Pasha,
I see many shortcomings in this plan.
With all due respect, my Sultan,
I have worked on this plan
for a very long time.
I believe this plan will succeed.
What do you think, Pasha?
Serasker Pasha is aware of the plan.
He agrees with it also, my Sultan.
Then you have the responsibility,
Redif Pasha.
If something goes wrong with this plan
I'll hold you responsible.
Don't worry, my Sultan.
We shall prevail, believe us.
-My Sultan.
-Yes.
Mustafa!
How can you enter without permission?
I'll explain if you permit, my Sultan.
He is the traitor in our midst, my Sultan.
He is the one who took Akbar
and infiltrated us.
He's lying, my Sultan. Don't believe him.
Mustafa.
Bring the guard!
The Sultan's adjutant.
They infiltrated so deeply.
They surrounded every corner
of the country like octopuses.
Ms. Farah!
Your mother.
Farah, stop!
Mother!
Mother!
This is only the beginning, Mustafa.
I'll kill everyone you love one by one.
And I'll kill you in the end.
I'll slowly rip away your loved ones
from you, Mustafa.
Everyone you love.
He cannot close his eyes to sleep
without seeing his father.
It's almost time now.
We'll get rid of you forever, my Sultan.
My God,
I believed in you and I sought
refuge with you.
Grant our soldiers victory.
Protect our country.
Let our state endure.
Be our leader on this path we walk,
my God.
Ejder,
my brother.
They stole our home.
Ejder.
They stole our names.
They stole our family.
They stole our childhood.
They stole our loves.
They stole our image.
They stole our past.
They stole our present.
But from this moment on
we are awake, my brother.
We are awake.
We'll wake up to a new morning
tomorrow, my brother.
Maybe,
someday, someplace...
Maybe.
Behave boy!
Who are you?
Who are you?
Galip!
Is that you?
Circassian, Galip.
Did you come here to visit me?
Come here, boy!
Blade Ali.
Come to me! Come, all of you!
Come to me!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
Mother!
I'll ask you something.
Circassian or me?
Let's flip a coin.
Brother! Blade, brother!
I'm a little boy, brother!
I'm Fethi, brother!
Circassian...
Heads or tails?
Tails.
And Circassian Hasan gives his life.
You are in luck.
Blade brother! Blade brother.
Blade brother, I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything, Blade brother!
Blade brother! Blade brother!
Blade brother, I didn't do anything!
My Galip brother.
Do you recognize this?
Circassian Hasan's rope.
I knew him very well!
He loved me very much!
I'm innocent, Galip brother!
-Are you begging me for mercy?
-I didn't do anything!
I don't think Circassian Hasan begged.
I didn't do anything. Brother, please.
I'm innocent!
My Sultan.
Yes.
Would you like me
to have the carriage prepared?
Will you go to Dolmabahce Mosque
for Friday Prayers as usual?
Yes, I will.
Then we will go to
Ortakoy for Mrs. Feriha's funeral prayer.
As you command, my Sultan.
My condolences, Ms. Farah.
Thank you.
Nanny,
I entrust you with Ali's baby.
Don't worry,
I will not take my eyes off him.
Mahmud,
our Sultan is going to
Dolmabahce for Friday Prayers as usual.
Hurry up with the preparations.
-As you wish, my Agha.
-As you wish.
Two hours.
Approximately two hours left.
The Prayers are over.
This is his last minute.
My Sultan,
there's something I'd like to discuss.
I shall do what is necessary,
Sheikh al-Islam Efendi.
As you wish, my Sultan.
What's going on?
An explosion! It was close by!
Farewell, Sultan Hamid.
Let's go.
It's over, Farah.
Farah!
Farah.
Mustafa.
I love...
I love you.
It's over.
Who did it?
It was enormous.
We need help!
Who did it? Is the Padishah all right?
Who did this!
We need help!
What's this!
Be careful!
Where is our Sultan?
Thank God, our Sultan is alive.
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER
Akbar failed. He could not kill
Sultan Hamid.
He is finished now.
Whisper his whereabouts.
Milos has been captured too.
If we hand over Akbar too,
who is going to be
responsible for the Ottoman Empire?
As of now, the person responsible
for the Ottoman Empire is Herzin.
Cemil will be at his service.
Cemil!
My Efendi.
No one can be captured
unless we want them to be,
because we own the biggest key
in the world.
We own the money,
and money opens all doors.
Including the most well-fortified
dungeons.
Cemil, let me introduce you to your
new Efendi, Theodor Herzin.
While the Ottoman Empire collapses
the Israeli State shall emerge
after thousands of years.
I am placing you in the service of Herzin.
Akbar!
The game's up.
-Boo!
-Kill them!
Hang them!
-Traitors!
-Killers!
Kill them all!
-Have no mercy!
-They'll get what they deserve!
Show no mercy!
Hear these people!
A decision has been made by the Cadihood.
These men you see here have committed
the crime of attempting to destroy
the Ottoman Empire by violence
and trickery,
compromising the welfare
of the people and the state
and making an attempt on our Padishah's
life and therefore have been
sentenced to death!
Load the guns!
Aim!
Did he just pass out?
What happened?
He's dead.
-Is he dead?
-Yes he is.
Divine justice!
Fire!
Mustafa,
Ali.
You've endured great suffering.
We've endured great suffering.
Ali, you lost your child and wife.
Mustafa,
you lost all of your loved ones
and you suffered all these losses
for your country.
A new millennium is approaching.
This century's long neglected country
is resisting and it will
continue to do so.
And it will sow the seeds of the future
in the lands soon to be lost.
From Rumelia to Egypt and Africa to Asia,
everywhere the Azan is heard
we shall stand up
for our Muslim people.
The duty I am tasking you with is
to establish many brigades
and go to possibly lost
lands and protect our people there.
This duty is more demanding
than your previous duties,
however I know I can count on you.
You have never let me down up to now,
and I am sure that
you will not do so in the future.
Thank you, my Sultan.
My Sultan,
your wishes are our commands.
We have always been honored to obey them
however our country is at war.
We prefer to be side by side with our
soldiers at the front
rather than remaining here.
We shouldn't stay here,
we should be with them.
If nothing happens to us
at the front and God grants us
a long life, we shall be honored to
obey all of your orders when we return.
