1048 - PASINLER

Come on, my lion.

Come on.

His name was Hasan, right?

Just like him, the last face you'll see is mine.

Take a good look into my eyes.

The ember I ignited will not only burn you...

it will burn all the infidels.

The blood of every Turk you killed treacherously will be taken!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Come on, my lions!

Ya Allah!

Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah Allah! - Allah Allah!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Çağrı Bey.

What are you waiting for? Arrest her!

What's going on here?

My Bey.

Thank Allah.

I brought incense.

I saw the snake placed next to Çağrı Bey.

I reached in time, thankfully.

She's lying.

She's lying, Mother Selcen.

I've been following her for a while.

My sight was always on her.

She brought the snake and placed it there herself. I saw with my own eyes.

What are you saying, Karaca?

Why would I harm Çağrı Bey, Mother Selcen?

She must've perceived it wrong.

Don't I know what I see, Hatun?

What is your aim, huh? Do say.

What would my aim be?

Çağrı Bey is my Bey too, Mother Selcen.

I want his well-being as much as you.

Listen to what she's saying.

Do you think I'm easily deceived, huh?

Control yourself, Karaca.

Don't forget you're in the presence of the Bey.

Lower your swords and return to your posts.

Why are you lowering your swords? Arrest her!

What are you doing, Mother Selcen?

Huh?

How do you know...

You're overstepping your limits now.

Don't you see our Bey's hand indicating 'enough'.

I saw, Mother.

I saw.

I saw his...

and yours.

Valiants...

He is soaking in sweat, Gevher.

Bring clean clothes for your father, quickly.

My valiants...

Any news from my children?

Come on!

Run! Come on, valiants!

Ya Allah!

Ya Allah!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

What if Akça didn't reach in time and kill the snake?

She's obviously a daring girl.

Honestly, she is daring, but I don't know if she's pure-hearted, Mother.

You believed a girl who just came to the tribe instead of a girl who has been your bride for many years.

You had to die so that a more poisonous snake would perish.

The time has come to take revenge on the Turks...

who brutally murdered your family...

Maria.

Revenge isn't taken in a hurry.

You will sneak into the Merv tribe as an innocent Turkmen girl.

The place where the candidate heirs are brought up, the heart of the Seljuks.

Earn their trust.

This cross...

is the key that will allow you to pass information to me secretly.

And you are my key to destroying the Seljuks.

Don't lose it.

Don't worry...

Father.

May God protect you and watch over you.

I swear by the one who protects me and watches over me...

and made me live to this day with the fire inside me...

until I take my revenge...

I will destroy so many more lives.

Liparit has fallen captive!

We're retreating!

We can't win now.

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

GREAT SELJUK PALACE

Their war was great...

their swords are decorated with glory...

everyone of them is great-hearted, Seljuk Lions have arrived at Rey Palace.

As you ordered, the Byzantine infidels were defeated.

Your victory is blessed, my Sultan.

May your war be blessed.

My wish is that only the good news of victory you bring be heard from now on...

Yınal Bey.

The cruel one leading the infidels.

Prince Liparit of Georgia who was defeated by my sword in Pasinler is now...

your worthless slave, my Sultan.

Kill me while you have the chance.

otherwise...

when I am free from here...

I will come and kill you.

We don't need a chance to sever your worthless head from your shoulders, with Allah's grace.

Be grateful that Turk customs don't allow the sword to be raised against one who is defenceless.

Let Prince Liparit be hosted in a manner befitting our glory, Emir Kündürî.

As my Sultan commands.

My valiants brave like lions and daring like wolves.

You showed the infidels once again the unbreakable hand of the Turks!

Live long.

Now it's time to rest, come on.

My Sultan.

Çağrı Bey must be curious.

I would like to convey the good tidings of victory myself to my father, if you permit.

Let the good tidings of victory that you'll convey to my brother be a cure for him, InshaAllah.

Where is Çortunel?

No, no! This can't be!

My God!

Çortunel!

Çortunel!

What about Liparit?

He was captured by the Turks.

MERV TRIBE

May I come in?

Come in, my dear.

Akınay Mother sent it. It's Toyga soup.

She said Çağrı Bey likes it.

Is Çağrı Bey okay?

His temperature rises and his breath shortens.

What is Çağrı Bey's illness, Selcen Hatun?

They know the illness, but they don't know its name.

He would get sick every year in this season...

but he never got sick to this degree.

May he recover quickly, InshaAllah.

Aameen.

Gather rosehips from the forest so that I can boil it for him to drink.

It may be useful in lowering his temperature.

Alright, Mother.

Your victory has elevated your glory and reputation, Yınal Bey.

Above all, you will regain your lost city and land through this victory.

I threw the leading dog of the infidels, in front of Sultan Tuğrul.

But because I've rebelled before...

I am worried that Sultan Tuğrul will not give me my due.

Don't worry, Yınal Bey.

The Sultan, according to tradition, must give you your right.

As I said before, your victory in the battle will elevate you and your fame.

You have tarnished the reputation of the great emperor.

How can you lose a war while your numbers are greater than theirs?

Dear Governor...

your spoiled son caused this war when he killed Prince Hasan.

We fought to clean up his filth.

Let's not talk, about the cause of the war, but about what you did there, General.

It was a big mistake to withdraw the army so quickly!

If you used this military mindset in the war...

perhaps we wouldn't have been forced to withdraw, Prince.

Where do you get the courage to talk to me like that?

Enough! Enough!

We have a bigger problem.

The emperor orders that we accept all conditions imposed by the Turks except taxes.

He also orders that Prince Liparit be freed.

I don't care about these terms, General.

InshaAllah, the rosehip will be a cure, and my father will open his eyes.

InshaAllah.

Isn't that the ominous girl?

What is this mad girl doing?

I told you, Gevher, this woman is hiding something.

Where is she going?

We will find out now.

Karaca, wait, Mother is waiting for us.

Wait.

Allah forgive me, what is this woman doing?

What's that sound? It doesn't sound like a human or a wolf.

We will find out now, Atabey.

You stay here and watch the road.

Where are you?

She called the wolf to come to her.

I swear, this girl is a witch, Gevher.

Brother.

The cure for some problems is hidden with you...

let me take it.

It seems that I have your remedy, too.

VASPURAKAN

Let's go!

Let's go!

Do not stand around!

Don't falter!

Hold on, my brother.

Our army defeated them at Pasinler.

I don't think that Sultan Tuğrul will leave us in the hands of these tyrants.

Hurry up!

Misfortunes from God!

Welcome, Prince Yannis.

Listen to me!

Don't you rejoice that the Seljuks have won the war!

And without my permission, I won't let anyone of you leave Vaspurakan.

Because your only Sultan here is me!

We only take Sultan Tuğrul as our leader who defeated you in Pasinler.

And as soon as he commands us to return to our homes, no one will stop us from that!

Really?

As long as you are in our hands, no one can ever take you.

Do you understand?

Leave me.

Take your hand off me.

Ask, my Bey.

What are you doing in the woods alone with a wolf?

You are wounded too, my Bey.

It's not important.

Since it does not hurt, it means that it's a wound of victory.

Let's not waste this belt for a wound that will go away quickly.

It can't be wasted when the wound of a Bey who has come back victorious from the war is wrapped in it.

On the contrary, it becomes honoured, my Bey.

You took from me what you wanted, now give me what I want.

Let's go quickly.

Why did you take this milk?

Are you trying to take revenge for Pasinler on these poor ones, Prince Yannis?

- What I do does not concern you, General. - But it does concern the Empire.

The terms of the peace treaty with the Seljuks have not yet been discussed.

And bloodshed here could become a disaster for us.

Move!

With your permission, my Bey.

With Allah's grace, and the bravery of the Alps, and with your prayers...

we have taken revenge for Hasan.

The oppressors have been subjugated...

and the blood of our martyrs was not in vain.

Long live Sultan Tuğrul! Long live Alparslan Bey!

I've been praying for days and I was always thinking of you brother.

Many thanks to Allah

Thank you, sister.

Where is Süleyman?

He's with our Sultan in Rey.

I heard that my father's illness has made him bedridden.

What is his condition?

He did not stop mentioning you, and he kept thinking about the war.

And if he hears your voice, he may rceover.

InshaAllah, Mother Selcen.

Don't let me down.

What are you up to again?

If I don't expose your tricks and make you pay for that slap, let them not call me Karaca.

Father...

He was never like this before!

Whatever we did or tried, it never worked.

May I come in?

Come in, my dear.

I prepared this treatment for Çağrı Bey.

May it be a cure, with Allah's will.

Do you have experience in treatment, Akça Hatun?

No, I'm not a healer, of course...

but I saw this treatment from a doctor and learned it when I was young.

What's in it, my dear?

Poison.

There is poison in it.

She will poison our Bey.

Karaca!

How can you speak without knowing?

I know what I am saying, Alparslan Bey.

She mixed a wild wolf's milk with a thousand kinds of herbs.

Come on, say that's a lie too.

Have you left all your work to monitor Akça Hatun?

What boldness is this?

Is this appropriate for the wife of a prince of the state?

This girl has enchanted you, I'm telling you, she wants to poison our Bey.

Karaca Hatun!

It will be good for Çağrı Bey.

You have made a blessed step on the great Karmathian path.

You have reached the shadow and honour of Mehdi Mektum, the great orator.

This blood will make you one body.

Your first task...

It is paving the way for our call with our words.

From the land of India to Turkistan, to those who search for the truth...

you will invite them to our cause.

That which was promised to the Karmathians...

will be established in the holy lands...

in the city of Ghazni.

You will tell the truth of our great nation.

May the voice of Mehdi Mektum be the voice on your tongues!

- Father. - Alparslan.

- Father opened his eyes, thank Allah. - Thank Allah.

We didn't leave Hasan's blood unavenged, Father.

Thank Allah.

What about the Muslims in Vaspurakan?

Now is the time to free them from captivity, Father.

It is enough that you gather your strength.

Our Bey is fine, thank Allah, son.

Now quickly go back to Rey...

so that the Sultan does not remain preoccupied with his brother.

CITY OF REY

Our valiants who defeated the infidels in Pasinler, have pleased us very much.

Especially the bravery of Alparslan...

which turned into an epic on everyone's lips.

With Allah's will and then your enthusiasm, my Sultan, we will revive the whole world.

The epic of our valiants is on everyone's lips, my Sultan.

And the skill of Yınal Bey in the war is talked about by all.

We only serve the Sultan.

As before, our only desire is to rule in the name of our Sultan in the conquered lands.

You know that a body needs one head.

If the number of heads increase, the body will not bear it and will collapse.

And the state is just like this.

States run by one hand are strong and enduring.

Likewise, the conquered lands will not be ruled by their conquerors...

but only the Sultan.

We will inform all the Beys of our decision.

Our priority is to get Prince Liparit back safe, don't forget that.

Don't worry, General.

The Emperor's great interest in Prince Liparit is really meaningful.

You are right, dear Governor.

But if you were captured in the war, the emperor would have shown the same interest.

Leave before any more time is wasted.

How can Sultan Tuğrul not give me the lands I conquered and not care about our customs?

Whatever command he gave for now, I complied with it.

What compliance are you talking about, Kündürî?

What is the meaning of victory in war if I do not rule the lands that I conquer?

I will tell the Beys what they will lose...

if they comply with this order of the Sultan, so that they chase after their rights.

Yınal Bey, if you do something like this...

the Sultan will not spare you this time.

Yınal Bey, there is still a possibility that you will be appointed crown prince.

Alparslan is the most likely candidate for the throne in the Sultan's eyes.

If you overcome him, there will be bo heir.

While Alparslan is the most likely heir, how will this happen?

Just focus your strength on defeating Alparslan.

Then just as you came out of the war victorious...

you will be victorious in the struggle for the throne.

Sultan Mevdud, ruler of Ghazni, congratulates your victory in Pasinler, my Sultan.

As long as you are the head of the state and your nephews you raised are at the head of the army...

you will definitely see more victories.

As long as you stay on our eastern border, in Büst...

we will fight the infidels without worry.

Thank you, my Sultan.

Unfortunately, there are those who wish to spread discord between Ghazni and the Seljuks.

Who are they?

Traitors infiltrated amongst us...

but our eyes did not see them, my Sultan.

Unfortunately, the one who set a trap for our princes on the way to Rey...

was my assistant of Hamuştekin.

With the help of Prince Alparslan, I beheaded the traitor myself.

My Sultan...

Thank you for coming, Emir Bozan.

Convey to Sultan Mevdud my regards and best wishes for his recovery.

Do you hide the result of the investigation from me?

Do you refrain from providing information to your Sultan?

- Because I hadn't completed investigations... - Emir Bozan says it is complete.

While the Sultan trusts his words...

how can you carry on saying as you wish?

I am not convinced that this matter is closed.

- And I won't stop until I find the leaderof those mute dogs. - Be quiet!

Both of you be quiet.

Süleyman is right.

I have complete confidence in the words of Emir Bozan.

End the investigations.

Never do something like this on your own again.

What will the Seljuks ask of us?

You know them better than us, you know their tendencies.

I only know how they fight, but I've never sat down with them at a negotiating table.

But the real important matter is what we will ask of them.

You know the Emperor's demands.

Diogenes will do everything in his power to get Liparit back.

- With your help of course. - I don't understand, General.

- What will I do? - They will demand a large ransom for Liparit.

And you'll pay this ransom, since you're the father of Yannis who caused this war, Dear Governor.

I have things to do, with your permission.

To take the ransom...

they will need to hand over Liparit.

What if the opposite happened?

CITY OF REY

For the compensation of the war and for Prince Liparit's freedom, 100,000 gold coins will be paid.

And the sermon that is read to Turks in the Byzantine lands in the name of the Fatimid Caliph...

will now be read in the name of the Abbasid Caliph and the Seljuk Sultan.

The Sultan's symbol of the bow and arrow will be engraved on the niche of the mosque in Constantinople.

Finally...

the Byzantine state will annually pay the Seljuk state a tribute of 500,000 gold pieces as tax.

I want to inform you that our emperor will not accept the payment of an annual tax.

Don't forget that you're the losing side, we will determine the conditions, not you.

We are ready to discuss other terms.

But our decision is final in this regard.

What concerns us most is bringing the Muslims in Vaspurakan back to Seljuk lands.

The Turkmen in Vaspurakan work for the Byzantine Governors in the region.

Convincing them in this will take great effort.

If it was up to me, I'd ask the Byzantines for a large annual tribute.

It will tighten the treasury of Caesar...

and because this would indicate their dependence on us, they will never accept it.

Then we will tell them our real conditions.

It's possible your emperor is facing financial problems.

If the Turkmen of Vaspurakan are delivered safely...

our Sultan, as a favour...

may exempt you from the annual tax.

Alright, Honourable Minister.

We can consider accepting it.

In this case...

we ask you that the treaty between the Byzantine Emperor and the Seljuk Sultan...

be valid for the next five years.

It is acceptable to us.

If anyone...

be it Caesar or one of his followers break the treaty...

Vaspurakan will be handed over to us.

Okay.

If you break the treaty...

will you be able to pay us four times the compensation you asked from us?

It is suitable.

The first condition we want you to fulfil is...

to safely hand over the Muslims of Vaspurakan whom you hold prisoners.

Our priority is to get Prince Liparit to Ani Castle at once.

And when he gets to Ani...

the compensation you requested will be paid.

Since we agree on this...

we can see you off.

If we meet again...

my eyes will be looking for you.

Then, not only our eyes...

but also our swords will have their say.

Thank Allah, the treaty went according to our plans.

Although you hid the issue of Bozan from me...

and considering this will never happen again...

I will assign you the task of delivering Liparit safely to Ani castle.

As our Sultan commands.

The war indemnities that you will take in return...

hand it over to my brother, Çağrı Bey to use to rebuild Merv.

And do not forget that the lands conquered by the sword...

if they aren't revived with the pen...

it will be considered an ordinary land, not a homeland.

Calm down.

My horse has come, Akınay Mother.

My crazy horse found me again.

Leave her alone.

She won't let anyone touch her but me.

She was missing a horse and now she has it.

She got the wolf's milk, now does she go to take the sparrow's milk?

Karaca.

Come here.

Look over the food, it shouldn't overflow.

Wild animals.

Get your hands off me!

Let go!

Put him in the cart.

And cover his mouth well.

Stop!

War reparations and...

100,000 gold coins will be paid to the Seljuks for the safe delivery of Prince Liparit.

In the end, the Muslims of Vaspurakan will be released.

Nonsense.

We will not send the servants that work in our lands.

This condition was stipulated by the Seljuks instead of the annual tax.

This condition cannot be accepted, General.

Congratulations, commander. A good treaty.

The compensation of 100,000 gold coins...

until Liparit comes, Governor Kekavmenos, will be prepared.

Of course.

As soon as Prince Liparit arrives at the castle...

I will hand over the gold.

This dog talks too much.

If only my didn't stop me...

I would've given him a nice beating before taking him.

Let's see what you brought me.

This cross is the key that will allow you to pass information to me secretly.

And you are my key to destroying the Seljuks.

Maria, if you're reading this letter, it means the horse has found you.

As I told you before, we'll stay informed in this way from now on.

You have to show that you are one of them without letting anyone doubt you...

and wait for my orders.

What are you looking for here?

Nothing.

I heard there is a lake near the tribe.

I wanted to see it.

You can't walk around here alone...

don't cause trouble.

Let's go.

Return to the tribe immediately.

Trap!

Attack, valiants!

Protecting this dog is important, Atabey.

If we don't get him to Ani safely...

the Byzantines will make it difficult to release the Muslims of Vaspurakan.

You are right, my Bey.

Everyone is waiting to disturb us.

But we will spoil their plans, and we will reach Ani no matter the costs, InshaAllah.

InshaAllah.

Let's go.

Where is it?

It was here, I'm sure.

Prince Süleyman.

He must've taken it.

Alparslan.

May you be cursed for all that you do.

You come out in front of us every time we take the road.

Obviously, you're getting news from someone.

I swear to cut your head off from your tongue.

Let's catch up with my Atabey before he gets to Ani.

As you command, my Bey.

Akça.

What is it, Gevher? Go ahead.

Çağrı Bey summons you.

Why does he summon me?

You will know when you go to him.

Come closer, my dear.

According to what I heard...

you were the reason for my recovery.

Thank you.

Healing is from Allah, my Bey. I was just a means to it.

No need for humility.

You were able to heal what the healers could not.

You made us feel alive again. Thank you, Akça Hatun.

Thanks to you, my father was cured.

My daughter, Şehver Sultan, the wife of Sultan Mevdud of Ghazni.

Thank you, Şehver Sultan.

Prevent Liparit from getting to Ani safely.

And when he dies...

the fortune that I shall gain from the Seljuks for breaking the treaty...

you will have a great share of it.

Go to hell.

No one will save you from my hands if we meet again.

You wild people

We have stayed loyal to the treaty as the Seljuk State.

We expect the same fidelity from you for our Muslim brothers in Vaspurakan.

If it is about loyalty...

we know it better than you.

A man's loyalty is measured by his attachment to his state.

But is a person called loyal...

if he leaves the flag of the state on the battlefield and flees...

or if he protects that flag at the cost of his life until the end?

How can you accept the terms of these snakes?

How?

We did not accept these conditions...

our great emperor did.

Despite your very poor management in the war...

everyone has seen your worth in the Emperor's eyes.

What matters to our emperor...

is the honour of the Byzantines.

And he will send someone who does what is necessary to protect it...

Prince Liparit.

What do you think you are doing?

I have carried out the orders of our emperor.

He will never leaves a failure like this unpunished.

The traitor who leads the mute ones has died, my Bey.

But they still continue to confront us.

There is clearly something up with this, Atabey.

The ambush of the mute ones, the trap at the inn, the Liparit incident...

when all of these are combined, it becomes clear that there is a big plan.

You are right, my Bey.

The arrows in the ambush that was set for Süleyman point to the Ghaznavids as well.

Is there someone trying to sow discord between us?

I still doubt Bozan.

The man he killed in front of us for treason...

I don't think he was the real traitor.

But I will arrange such a plan for him that will let us see if he's good or not.

Are you sure, Karaca?

Did you see place the snake from of her bag with your own eyes?

I swear I saw her.

Why did she kill the snake that she placed herself?

What if she wanted to kill my father?

But why would she make medicine from wolf's milk then?

Don't you believe me, too?

Fine...

sap me too, like your mother did.

What are you talking about, Karaca?

I'm talking about the slap your mother gave me.

She hasn't called me her daughter-in-law all these years...

neither did she call me a Prince's wife...

then she slaps me.

And all because of a girl who is unknown.

Why doesn't she have a face?

Because I've never seen her...

outside of my dreams.

I guess I am...

afraid to paint her face less perfect than I see in my dreams.

My Mother.

She died giving birth to me.

An upsetting story as well as blessed.

And the greatest thing she gave you was her soul.

Since the world that God created...

is more beautiful with you...

she deserves to go to heaven for that.

How many women have fallen for such words?

None.

Because their beauty...

wasn't splendid enough to be spoken of in the streets of Constantinople.

It has been a long time since I left Constantinople.

I'm sure everyone has found something new to talk about by now.

The great injustice done to your father John Makrembolites.

The throne was his right.

And it was your right to be a princess.

Someday...

when this painting is completed...

the true owner will sit on that throne in Constantinople.

This...

I believe with all my heart.

And...

I can see the final picture of the painting from now.

Princess Evdokya.

It's time for you to go from Ani, Diogenes.

What do you think you are doing, Mother?

How can you slap your daughter-in-law for a girl who just came to the tribe?

Your wife paid the price for her impoliteness.

As for you, do not spoil your manners without listening to what happened.

And what impoliteness did Karaca do?

She slandered the girl whom you say just came to the tribe.

Not only that, but she started on her in the presence of the Bey.

What she did is not from any moral or custom.

You could have told me that instead of slapping her.

I would have given her punishment.

I am the leader of all the women in the tribe.

I am the one who holds them accountable for their mistakes, not you.

Your job is to teach our customs to Karaca, but...

it looks like you haven't been able to teach her all this time.

Shouldn't General Dukas have discussed the decision to execute Liparit with you, uncle?

How long will you give power to those who do not deserve it...

- ...Father? - Be quiet!

Nobody dares to shake my authority.

I want to discuss the governorship of Vaspurakan with you, dear Governor.

Of course.

I'm listening, General.

Governor Çortunel's position is empty...

and I have someone in mind who is worthy of that position.

With his bravery and military intelligence...

Commander Romanos Diogenes.

Will you decide that too, General?

Commander...

is undoubtedly a great officer.

But ruling a very crucial region like Vaspurakan requires more than that.

Someone who knows the area well...

will be more suitable.

For example, Prince Yannis.

Dear Governor.

The emperor would not be happy to have his requests denied.

And I'm sure he'd want to see Commander Romanos Diogenes...

who is respected in Constantinople, govern Vaspurakan.

Of course.

Our Emperor's requests are very valuable to us.

He would be pleased to have the Commander appointed at Vaspurakan.

If this also suits you...

Romanos Diogenes...

can command Prince Yannis' Guard troops.

Of course, dear Governor.

Diogenes would be honoured of serving the emperor as commander of the guard troops.

You can be sure that I will not fail your trust, dear Father.

I am honoured, dear Kekavmenos.

This cross is the key that will allow you to pass information to me secretly.

And you are my key to destroying the Seljuks.

Don't lose it!

It seems you are weaving sorrows on the loom, Akça dear.

Sometimes a person searches for a well...

to pour out their sadness and problems.

Some find it and some don't.

And this loom is my well.

Whatever my secrets...

I shout out to it with the knots and patterns I make.

Teach me, Akınay Mother.

I've always wanted to, and I might be as good as you.

Of course, that will do.

It will be possible as long as you learn to knot the strings and not yourself.

But until then, I'll be your well.

I will swallow what I hear and hide it.

Thank you, Mother.

Come on then, let's start in the name of Allah!

Come on, sit down.

Let's go.

Let our hands work.

And let our hearts live with truth.

Look now.

Like this...

Lower it.

The new decisions of the Sultan related to the centre of the state...

we heard some Beys were not happy with it, my Bey.

Do they not know that these decisions are in the interest of our state...

and that those who cause duality will lose their heads?

Should our swords come out...

so that they understand the intention of our sultan?

My Bey.

What is the reason for your anger, my Bey?

It doesn't matter, Alparslan.

You brought such good tidings to the tribe.

The worry and sadness is now gone.

We have taken our right from the infidels, with Allah's will, my Bey.

And now we will revive Merv with this, InshaAllah.

Our land will not only be surrounded by our weapons...

it will be surrounded by places of knowledge, thank Allah.

Oh my Lord, the All Powerful, I have unresolved problems.

He cauterises the wounds of the heart like a burning ember.

I have no mother, no father, no homeland.

My tears don't stop...

gushing like a flood.

I have no mother, no father, no homeland.

My tears don't stop...

gushing like a flood.

They say a beautiful voice brings news from the world of souls.

This is true.

You have a beautiful voice.

Thank you, my Bey.

I learned this from a bard in Vaspurakan.

If it is destined, tomorrow the captive Turkmen of Vaspurakan will come to the tribe.

Do you have anyone there?

I was young when my father and mother migrated to the afterlife.

Many people helped me, I definitely know them.

But...

I don't have any relatives.

Do not be sad, my dear.

Those who have no one have Allah.

And now you are our daughter too.

You are the daughter of this tribe.

If you need anything, come to me without worry.

Thank you, my Bey.

Oh my Lord, the All Powerful, I have unresolved problems.

He cauterises the wounds of the heart like a burning ember.

Karaca.

What happened between you and my mother has upset me too.

I got hit and you got hurt, right?

Mother said...

because you yelled disrespectfully in Çağrı Bey's presence...

When did I not show my respect until today?

Is saying what you saw considered disrespectful?

Or trying to protect Çağrı Bey?

Or expose the lie of a woman who came out of nowhere like a snake?

If you stay quiet like this...

Karaca will do what she needs to do on her own.

Good lord.

Our Sultan has ordered me to close the case, my Bey.

But even if I didn't tell him...

my doubts about Bozan are increasing day by day.

I trust your intuition, son.

I can even write a letter to my brother Tuğrul about this.

But...

we have known Emir Bozan for years.

I am disrespectful now.

Instead of holding her accountable for hitting me...

look what he says to me!

But I know what I'm going to do.

Why are you suspicious of Bozan?

He threw the traitor's head in front of you, but you were not convinced.

He gave you his sword and said that his head is yours...

but this was not enough either.

Are you saying that the traitor is Emir Bozan, Alparslan?

Alparslan!

That's right, he threw the head before me...

but if that head belonged to a traitor...

they wouldn't have attacked us again while we were taking Liparit to Ani.

We must take precautions immediately...

so that they cannot attack again.

If the issue is the safety of our valiants, don't hold back, son.

What are you thinking, brother?

What is your brother's problem with my brother, Süleyman?

What are you saying, Karaca?

Alparslan, I heard him with my own ears.

Çağrı Bey and Şehver Hatun are slandering him.

Isn't that which is said about him considered said about me?

- Calm down, tell me what happened. - Mother calls me disrespectful...

and your brother says my brother is a traitor.

You tell me...

is my brother a traitor?

Am I the sister of a traitor, Süleyman?

If something bad happens to my brother...

won't I have the right to hold Alparslan accountable?

Stop, Hatun.

Stop, Hatun.

Alparslan!

Love makes the heart happy.

Makes you cross giant mountains.

It teaches you sadness

The valiant turns yellow and withers.

The valiant turns yellow and withers.

It shows me my solutions.

It shows me...

Alparslan!

Alparslan!

Are you a ruler or a king?

Is it your authority to make a judgement like that?

Why do you keep slandering Bozan without proof?

Didn't we tell you to close this case?

I am not a ruler, or a king.

But whoever betrays our state...

I'll cut his neck!

How do you talk so disrespectfully?

The real disrespect is a brother raising his hand on his brother.

- Father... - Süleyman!

ANI CASTLE

Come in.

Honourable Governor.

Before I go to Vaspurakan...

we can forget what happened between us.

After all, we will work together from now on.

If you don't forget who I am...

we can work together in harmony, Diogenes.

No doubt.

However...

handing over the Muslim servants wasn't good.

Do not tell me that you are sad because you will leave them.

On the contrary.

I want them all to die.

Because each of them can be candidate to spy.

When they reach the Seljuk state...

I can't imagine the damage they could do to us.

Believe me, the terms of the treaty tied my hands.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed over any of them alive.

You know how Emperor Tiberius got rid of rebellious slaves.

He wouldn't stain his hands but make unknown mobs carry out massacres.

The Roman Senate could not convict Tiberius of his actions.

Because Tiberius...

would have his soldiers who were escorting the slaves killed, too.

Emperor Tiberius was an intelligent man.

Honourable Governor, with your permission, I shall prepare for the journey.

How am I going to find that necklace?

What if someone found it and took it?

Akça Hatun.

Why are you wandering?

Is there a problem?

No, thank Alah there is none, my Bey.

You have opened your tribe to me.

You saved me from being alone and helpless.

What problem will I have?

You healed my wound.

Thank you.

Keep it with you, my Bey.

Maybe you can wrap another wound with it.

You understand the tongue of horses and wolves as well.

Where and from whom did you learn that?

Aren't horses our wings, and wolves our comrades, my Bey?

Are there any Turks who do not understand their tongue?

You're right.

Karabey has been my friend for many years.

He has become a part of my life.

Have a good night, my Bey.

Don't forget why you are here!

It happened faster than I imagined.

Let's go.

What will we do then?

Not us, but our ally in the East will do it.

Our ally will now do something for me...

dear father.

Give me.

Great Orator. From the Tekfur.

What does Kekavmenos want from me?

Who knows what you're up to again?

What do you command us, great orator?

We will do such a thing...

that a fire will burn in the heart of the Seljuks that will never extinguish.

You failed in the trap you set for Liparit.

There is no place for mistakes again.

Just so you know.

Whatever task you will assign to us...

be sure that we will succeed in it.

Otherwise, we are ready to pay the price with our lives.

Selcen Hatun.

To tell me something to do so that I can help you.

Thank you, my dear.

A festival has come upon the tribe because our brothers will come from Vaspurakan.

I know you couldn't get along with Karaca.

But it is not our custom to be on bad terms during festivals.

Go and help her, come on.

As you order.

Have a good day.

Do you need help with anything?

Evil is better than good that comes from you!

No need.

Akça Hatun.

Come here a moment.

Add a little salt to the soup to make it taste better.

Did you put salt?

What is this?

What is this?

You failure.

What will happen now? What will happen?

I told you to put some salt, you put all the salt in the pot.

Do you know how hard it is to find this salt?

You wasted all these people's food.

What will happen now?

I put in the right amount.

You did it on purpose, didn't you?

Speak!

You ominous woman!

Why are you yelling, Karaca?

I told her to put a little salt but she put all the salt in the pot.

I shouldn't have told her!

I put in very little.

One handful or less.

Mother, everything she says and does is a lie.

Taste the soup if you do not believe me.

It's like poison.

Mother, did you see what this snake you are protecting did?

My Bey.

I will speak with Akça Hatun at an appropriate time.

Let's not make our brothers from Vaspurakan wait.

You get going right away.

Come in.

My lord.

As you ordered, the Yannis' badge.

Nobody saw you entering his room, did they, Nestor?

No, my lord.

Good.

And now...

it's time to wait until you make your biggest mistake, Yannis.

His duty in Vaspurakan will not be as long as he thinks.

Give me.

Your load is heavy enough.

The heaviest load I carried was captivity, my Bey.

Thank Allah I left that in Vaspurakan.

Trap!

No.

This woman will not stop being obsessed with me.

It's like I don't have enough problems, now I have to deal with her too.

There is a friend of mine whom I have known and trusted for a long time in the East.

We are cooperating with him against the Seljuks.

This is cooperation, Selikos.

No one will ever suspect us.

Let's go.

Would you go without leaving your mark on your work...

Yannis?

They should have gotten here by now.

You are right, my Bey.

This is not a good sign.

It seems there was a setback.

Let's go.

Wife of Sultan Mevdud of Ghazni...

new governor of Büst, Begim Şehver Sultan.

I want you to sit on the throne of Bozan until Bozan gets a hold of himself.

If he really is the traitor, he will surely give it away.

Check if anyone is alive one by one.

Wild savages.

Go to the tribe and tell them right away.

Who killed these innocent ones, my Bey?

Is this the work of the Byzantines? What is this?

If it was the work of the Byzantines, why are their own soldiers dead?

Yannis.

Who put this under the pillow?

Everything she says and does is a lie.

Taste the food if you do not believe me.

It's like poison.

The time has come to take revenge on the Turks who brutally murdered your family, Maria.

May I come in, Akça dear?

Come in, my Bey.

Your tears are worth more than the salt in the cauldron, my dear.

Don't be upset.

The pain in your face is the pain of loneliness we have known.

You also don't have anyone.

It's because of that, obviously.

We have no one but ourselves.

How about my father Kekavmenos?

He loves me very much.

Kekavmenos is not your father.

He kidnapped you years ago.

You were about two years old.

I wandered around the ocean.

Either I'd go to a tribe looking for your mother or father...

or I would have left a trail behind you.

I would not have left the daughter of a Muslim Turk in the hands of the infidels.

I tracked down those who kidnapped you and went to Ani.

I had to do something.

I wouldn't leave you alone.

I entered the castle as a slave.

Thank God, Kekavmenos chose me and gave me the duty to be your shadow.

Why did my mother and father leave me in the hands of the Byzantines all these years?

Why didn't they save me?

Kekavmenos killed your mother.

And my father?

Your father is alive.

Only he might think you're dead.

You spent all the years and all the paths alone.

It's as clear as daylight...

you are stronger and braver than the wolf.

You must know that the trail of the wolf is the trail of the homeland.

What I'm going to say, my dear...

protecting and increasing your strength is in your hand.

We are weak, we are humans.

We are defective.

Everything comes our way.

But the stronger the goal in your heart...

don't be afraid of anything.

The burden that keeps you strong...

will take you to tomorrow.

Your father Hasan used to tell me this every time I was in trouble.

What if I find my father one day?

If you find your father...

if Vaspurakan hadn't been our homeland, you'd never call him father.

You will not say to him, "I am your daughter, look I'm not dead,"

"I am before you with my blood and my flesh."

A father's heart cannot bear when he sees that his child is in danger.

He will stop you that from things you'd do for your country just to protect you.

What if I can't bear it?

You will bear it.

You will bear it.

Both our hearts full of faith, for our lineage...

we are two sacrifices devoted of a cause much bigger than ourselves.

You will grow up as the daughter of Kekavmenos who killed your mother...

But you will raise a ferocious wolf inside you.

If something pains your heart, say it, my daughter.

Father.
