Praise and praise be to you alone.

Make this child a worthy servant for you...

And part of a nation worthy of your beloved Prophet.

Welcome, Your Honor.

I have begun to realizing your dream.

If the conquest of Jerusalem,

If the conquest of Jerusalem,

Is meant to be, for me or for my descendants,

I was hoping this cushion to be put in,

Al-Aqsa Mosque.

But...

My wife and son...

They died.

My dream remained like a painful fist in my throat,

My dream remained like a painful fist in my throat,

Omer Molla.

We belong to Allah and to him we shall return.

For believers, death is a migration from the mortal world to the eternal abode.

Death is having the blessings of eternal mercy after this temporary world.

Our separation from our loved ones in this world is temporary.

Our sadness is natural, but,

The treatment is to ask God for beautiful patience.

And to carry out your duties in this world for the sake of God.

Because the salvation of the nation of Muhammad,

It depends on the wisdom of leaders like you who strive for God.

It depends on the wisdom of leaders like you who strive for God.

I dedicated my life,

To saving Jerusalem and expel the Crusaders from Islamic lands.

I always wanted to have a son,

So he would continue my case.

So he would continue my case.

If I don't have the chance to save Jerusalem,

He would have.

But it didn't happen!

This is why I'm sad.

To those who their case is God,

God will help them.

If your goal were not to achieved,

neither you'll dreams become true,

nor we'll start this.

This case is not about lineages.

This case is not about lineages.

But it is about the road, my lord.

The sadness came from your lineage, but,

Who knows?

Who knows?

Perhaps good news is coming to you from the road.

Which road?

The road of the prophet who went from Jerusalem to the mihraj,

The road of the prophet who went from Jerusalem to the mihraj,

the road of Hazrat Omar who planted the banner of Islam in Jerusalem,

and the road of those who, just like you, went for this cause that is their trust.

and the road of those who, just like you, went for this cause that is their trust.

On this path, there are many hidden omens.

Don't care about your lineage,

Don't care about your lineage,

Care about what is on you road.

Your Honor.

There is an important matter.

Who are you?

Why do you want to meet me?

I am Shirkuh, Crown Prince of Tikrit, brother of Necm ad-Din Eyub.

Eyub is my old friend.

Emir Bihrous came after us to kill us.

Emir Bihrous came after us to kill us.

We are here to stay in your lands, Your Honor.

Where is Eyub now?

His wife was pregnant, so he had to stay behind when she went into labor.

Don't care about your lineage,

Care about what is on your road.

Son.

Dear Yusuf!

Dear Fatma, are you okay?

Are you okay?

Eyub, I had a dream.

Eyub, I had a dream.

May it be well.

Yusuf brings good news with him.

Maybe our son,

Brings the good news that we will settle in the lands of Nur ad-Din Zanki.

Brings the good news that we will settle in the lands of Nur ad-Din Zanki.

No, Eyub.

The dream I had was different.

It was much deeper.

May it be well, Fatma.

Let's get to safety first, then you can tell me.

We have to leave now.

Emir Bihrous is here, sir.

Emir Bihrous is here, sir.

Eyub, don't go out.

That oppressor will kill you.

If I don't get out, he'll kill us all.

Let his account be with me.

Did you think you would escape from my grasp, Necm ad-Din Eyub?

Did you think you would escape from my grasp, Necm ad-Din Eyub?

We have suffered enough from your oppression, Emir Bihrous.

I offered you friendship, not oppression.

I have given you the position of governor.

But you left me and go to the Zanki lands!

But you left me and go to the Zanki lands!

You tried to use us as an instrument of your tyranny by doing that.

You have destroyed people with your decisions!

You have destroyed people with your decisions!

You hurt us because we were not carrying out your actions!

You tried to shed our blood.

It would be better to be a slave alongside a Emir like Nur ad-Din Zanki,

It would be better to be a slave alongside a Emir like Nur ad-Din Zanki,

Than to be a ruler alongside a tyrant like you!

This is treason!

You know that no one can deviate from my command unless I give him permission.

No betrayal goes unpunished.

No betrayal goes unpunished.

If the fire of your anger will be extinguished with blood, then kill me.

And leave my wife and newborn child behind.

The fire of my hatred engulfs anyone who bears the blood of Eyyubi.

This includes your newborn baby.

This includes your newborn baby.

-Fatma! -Eyub!

-Run away, Fatma! -Come on, Fatma Hatun.

If you are not thinking of yourself, think of Yusuf.

Stop, woman!

Leave me!

Where are you going?!

Walk!

-Let's go! -Let me go!

Nur ad-Din Zanki.

How dare you, draw your sword on the poor people who have come,

How dare you, draw your sword on the poor people who have come,

Searching for refuge in our lands, Bihrous? And to an innocent child?!

Do not come between me and my enemies, so that we may not be enemies with you.

Do not come between me and my enemies, so that we may not be enemies with you.

If you sheath your sword to its place, Bihrous,

We will not become enemies.

Otherwise you have to use your sword at me.

Otherwise you have to use your sword at me.

-Because they are under my protection. -There is no shadow that I can't destroy!

Don't be crazy enough to fight me over a bunch of people like that!

Don't be crazy enough to fight me over a bunch of people like that!

I will hold accountable even the birds that fly on my land.

I will hold accountable even the birds that fly on my land.

I will kill all of you here in exchange for the a few lives you'll take.

So go and be a master over the birds, the wolves, and all kinds of animals!

Is it your job to guard people here like sheepdogs?

I told you to use your sword, but you answered with your tongue.

I told you to use your sword, but you answered with your tongue.

But I answer tongues that exceed their limits with my sword!

But I answer tongues that exceed their limits with my sword!

Whoever loves himself, let him sheath his sword!

As for whoever is free in his spirit, let him fight my sword!

Your friendship is redeemed by the soul, Your Honor.

From now on, the Eyyubi's are at your service with everything they have.

From now on, the Eyyubi's are at your service with everything they have.

One is tested by what he claims, Eyub.

Are you really ready to dedicate your whole family our way?

I am ready.

So in exchange for you staying on my lands,

I would like you to give me your newborn son, Yusuf.

How can I do that?

Why would you want something like this?

Jerusalem and many Islamic lands are under Crusader occupation.

The survival and existence of the Seljuks are at risk.

There is a need for a state that unites the Islamic world.

Fate has placed this responsibility on our shoulders.

In order to establish the state and maintain the cause,

I have to ensure the future.

You can find many children in the lands of the Zanki.

You can find many children in the lands of the Zanki.

So, why my son?

This will be a big secret, Eyub.

Only someone I can trust can hold it like you do.

Do you remember?

Years ago, you and I would walk these hills and dream of our lofty goals.

Years ago, you and I would walk these hills and dream of our lofty goals.

But now we are together for this purpose under the same commitment.

But now we are together for this purpose under the same commitment.

You can't escape the responsibility that fate has placed on you.

It's not a decision I can make alone.

I have to ask Fatma about him.

I have to ask Fatma about him.

I kept the news of the death of my wife and son for everyone to hear from me.

But I don't have much time.

Nur ad-Din Zanki saved our lives from the enemy,

Nur ad-Din Zanki saved our lives from the enemy,

But now he wants to take a piece of it with his own hands!

How can I abandon my child?

How can I abandon my child?

Emir Nur ad-Din is also a father who recently lost a child.

He would never want to harm us intentionally.

But we will get hurt.

We will suffer, of course.

We will suffer, of course.

Can't someone who has lost his own child understand our pain?

Doesn't he know how difficult this is for us?

Doesn't he know how difficult this is for us?

I can't bear it as well, but on the other hand, we had to.

The state he will create, can become a hope for all Muslims.

His future depends on Yusuf.

You also said that Yusuf will bring good news.

Perhaps this was the good news.

Perhaps this was the good news.

He is my dear.

He is my breath.

I can't live without him.

What is your decision?

What is your decision?

Forgive me, Your Honor.

-No matter what I said to my wife... -Stop, Eyub Bey!

-No matter what I said to my wife... -Stop, Eyub Bey!

So you have finally brought good news to Jerusalem, Fatma Hatun.

So you have finally brought good news to Jerusalem, Fatma Hatun.

What good news? Who are you? How do you know me?

I am from the group of believers in God.

I am from the group of believers in God.

I am also a poor servant of God responsible for serving Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Who gives this duty?

Our Prophet,

Peace be upon him.

This duty can only be given by him.

I would also like to have the honor of fulfilling this noble duty.

It is not you, but the one born of you who is qualified for this duty.

My baby?!

We'll clean the inside of him.

When the time comes, your son will clean the Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

When the time comes, your son will clean the Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

We will also be his servants.

And what about me? What will I do?

I said his name is Yusuf.

You will hand him over so that he can become the Sultan of Egypt like Joseph,

so that he can become the Conqueror of Jerusalem like Omer, the owner of this.

so that he can become the Conqueror of Jerusalem like Omer, the owner of this.

-To who I should hand him? -You'll see when the time comes.

How beautiful this is! It smells completely different!

Roses,

As his smell spread over its leaves,

You will sacrifice your son so that the world will smell like him.

How do I sacrifice my son Yusuf?

Do not be afraid. God will protect Yusuf.

Don't you worry.

When the time comes, you will enter Al-Aqsa Mosque under his shade.

When the time comes, you will enter Al-Aqsa Mosque under his shade.

I realized that my child's fate was to be separated from his mother's for a cause,

And my fate is to bear this pain.

And my fate is to bear this pain.

If one day my son attains what I have shown him in my dream...

If one day my son attains what I have shown him in my dream...

Then my heart will be healed and I will find solace in bitterness.

Then I will take him as a entrust, rather then a lineage.

I will take care of him.

For Jerusalem,

I'll take him to create the state that will save Jerusalem from Crusaders.

Don't worry about it.

This path rests on the shoulders of these brave men.

And also on the shoulders of those mothers who sacrificed for this path.

Now your heart hurts, I am aware.

But perhaps tomorrow, he will save many fathers' and mothers' hearts from pain.

But perhaps tomorrow, he will save many fathers' and mothers' hearts from pain.

I will take Yusuf into the palace secretly.

I will take Yusuf into the palace secretly.

I will say that the doctors brought my son back to life.

And I will send you my deceased child.

And I will send you my deceased child.

Bury him properly.

This secret will remain sealed between the four of us forever.

Son! Yusuf.

I'll never hear you call me Mom! And I will never be able to call you son and hug you.

Like Shahen-Shah, the son of Necm ad-Din Eyub, the governor of Damascus,

Like Shahen-Shah, the son of Necm ad-Din Eyub, the governor of Damascus,

While I was the son of Emir Nur ad-Din, you became the leader of their warriors.

Your father became a sultan, but you did not abandon the warriors of the borders.

Your father became a sultan, but you did not abandon the warriors of the borders.

Jerusalem to me means Saladin!

Your Honor!

They took the forest road.

What is happening? What is happening?

Stop!

Pay attention!

Draw your swords.

Draw your swords.

Attack!

Leave your swords.

Otherwise you will all die.

While there is Knights Templar,

Why did King Baldwin invite you to Jerusalem?

Why did King Baldwin invite you to Jerusalem?

We don't know why.

Our commander ordered and we set off on our way.

Which one of you is the leader?

None of us.

He is now in Jerusalem.

What is his name?

What is his name?

Gabriel.

Gabriel.

JERUSALEM

Give it to me.

Allow us to perform ablution from this water and perform our prayers.

We'll continue working after that.

Okay, but hurry, or we will be punished.

Okay, but hurry, or we will be punished.

Come on, let's go.

In the name of God...

What do you think you are doing?

Water, which is the right of our Christian brothers...

Water, which is the right of our Christian brothers...

Do you give it to these Muslims?

I defend the rights of Christians from everyone and everywhere.

He is the one who gave us permission.

We will perform ablution and pray with this water. No one can interfere with that.

Senesharpier.

The place is not visible because of the shining of swords and blood everywhere.

The place is not visible because of the shining of swords and blood everywhere.

In fact, I did not expect to be received so well.

Why did you kill them?

They were too compassionate.

They were too compassionate.

Showing mercy to the enemy is betrayal of our sacred cause.

Starvation, drought, disease.

Starvation, drought, disease.

All this began to spread day after day in Jerusalem.

All the riches of the Holy City are disappearing one by one.

The most painful thing is that the holy Christian city,

Became like this under the rule of the Crusaders, King Baldwin!

I'm sure Jesus, who watches us from heaven,

I'm sure Jesus, who watches us from heaven,

He has suffered more now than he did when he was crucified on the cross.

Your job is not to rule over our kingdom,

Rather, you must draw your sword for it to become stronger.

Rather, you must draw your sword for it to become stronger.

Tell this to the kingdom's soldiers, Senesharpier.

I am a Knight Templar.

I only take orders from our Grand Commander and the Pope.

I only take orders from our Grand Commander and the Pope.

Jerusalem is the sacred cause for all of us.

We must make all sacrifices for it.

We must prevent them before the problems get worse.

Otherwise, Muslims will move to take Jerusalem.

Especially Nur ad-Din Zanki.

He is an Emir who became a sultan.

He is an Emir who became a sultan.

When we thought we had completely destroyed the Muslims, he supported them.

And now he waits like a wolf, lurking for our destruction.

And now he waits like a wolf, lurking for our destruction.

The way to make Jerusalem stronger lies in Ashkelon.

It is near us, we just couldn't take that place from Muslims for years.

It is near us, we just couldn't take that place from Muslims for years.

If we take Ashkelon,

Its wealth will flow to Jerusalem.

Muslims will lose their last homeland around Jerusalem.

Muslims will lose their last homeland around Jerusalem.

And you will have the power you need to attack Zanki lands.

Are you sure about this, Your Majesty?

This matter must be resolved in Jerusalem.

We captured their soldiers, if we go in we won't be able to get out again.

From hesitation comes danger, and from courage comes victory.

Hurry up, come on!

Hurry up, come on!

Basrian!

Basrian!

What are you doing? Do you want to die?

Leave me, Musab. Will I be afraid of these people?!

You have polluted Jerusalem with your injustice.

But we are close to snatching it from your hands, you oppressors.

Will you take Jerusalem with that dirty shovel?

There is people who carry swords in this nation.

One day they will come together to take Jerusalem.

Forgive us, sir.

He doesn't know what to say because he's tired.

He doesn't know what to say because he's tired.

Who will come?

You Muslims can never be together.

For this reason,

I must save you from waiting for such a miracle.

Brother!

Your Majesty, Saladin, Nur ad-Din's son, is here.

Take them to the city center.

They are not worthy of our palace.

Stay away!

Get away from me.

-Stay away. -Please help me.

-Stay away. -Please help me.

Please.

Get up, get up.

You worthless people!

Come here.

Go!

Go!

Do you come and worship when there are things waiting for you to do?

Today our Shabbat day.

We do not work on our holy day.

Show us some respect.

You will respect our laws.

You will respect our laws.

And you will do everything we command.

You have brought injustice to the Holy City of God.

You have brought injustice to the Holy City of God.

But one day justice will come to this city again.

And when that day comes, the just will destroy you, the unjust.

And when that day comes, the just will destroy you, the unjust.

What do you think you are doing?

Will you kill innocent people just because they worship?

They are Jews.

They are Jews.

What's the matter with you, Saladin?

It is enough that they are innocent.

It is enough that they are innocent.

We have also ruled Jerusalem for centuries.

But we did not deprive anyone of their worship.

We have brought freedom for all humanity to this city of peace.

We have brought freedom for all humanity to this city of peace.

I can't turn a blind eye to your persecution just because you occupied them.

Now take those soldiers of yours, or I'm not going anywhere.

Didn't he have messengers to sent, and he sent you, Malik Saladin?

Didn't he have messengers to sent, and he sent you, Malik Saladin?

Don't you have the strength to confront us?

You have called the Knights Templar, King Baldwin.

My troops and my Muslim and Jewish slaves,

My troops and my Muslim and Jewish slaves,

I send them where I say and bring them from where I want.

But I don't understand why this matters to you.

As long as the new Knight Templars have arrived...

This means that you are attacking and persecuting Muslim lands.

This means that you are attacking and persecuting Muslim lands.

That's why I'm interested in this.

If we attack Zanki lands, then you can show us your heroism, Saladin.

If we attack Zanki lands, then you can show us your heroism, Saladin.

I already did.

I have your forces that you sent to Jerusalem.

I have your forces that you sent to Jerusalem.

You think you're manipulating us into backing down, don't you?

This is the flag of your forces.

This is the flag of your forces.

I think you understand that I'm probably not joking you.

However you'll attack, you will retreat from it.

Gabriel will leave these lands.

Otherwise, I will not leave your forces.

Kill them all if you want.

I don't care.

My great army will come from where you can't see.

My great army will come from where you can't see.

If you hear my name,

You also know what I can do.

But I don't explain it like that, I'll come and do it,

But I don't explain it like that, I'll come and do it,

When it's all over, I'll leave behind only blood and corpses.

So you're saying that you're such a coward that you can't fight bravely?

So you're saying that you're such a coward that you can't fight bravely?

Don't be so hasty in fighting me, son of Nur ad-Din.

I wonder...

Your father, who was the Count of Urfa, said,

The same thing happened to my father, Nur ad-Din Zanki, back then.

The same thing happened to my father, Nur ad-Din Zanki, back then.

As you know,

Urfa has been taken from your hands.

The title of Count was destroyed.

As long as you're not in a rush to fight us,

Your fear must have been passed from father to son?

The only thing I have left from my father is revenge.

I will not die before taking revenge on you.

Since you're wondering what I'm going to do,

Okay then.

Wait.

Wait.

Catch her!

Catch her!

Run fast!

Basrian, bring her to me alive. Quickly!

Soldiers, arrest Saladin.

What do you think you are doing?

Run, in this direction.

Catch her.

Catch her.

Come on, catch her. Run.

She is going in that direction.

Don't let her go!

Come on, run, don't stop.

Run, this way!

Catch her!

Come on, come on!

Come on, come on!

Hurry!

What is happening? What are you doing?

What is happening? What are you doing?

Stop, stop!

What is happening?

From this direction.

Bring the horses now!

You talk about fighting bravely,

But you wanted to assassinate me!

You will pay the price.

If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't try to assassinate you.

If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't try to assassinate you.

Rather, I will take your soul directly.

You are making a mistake.

If you don't leave your swords, we will get ours.

If you don't leave your swords, we will get ours.

We don't leave our work like that assassin.

A lot of blood will be shed because of you.

You are slandering at us without evidence.

You are slandering at us without evidence.

Either you leave us now,

Or you will face a Zanki army.

Then the whole place will be turned upside down!

Leave them.

Why did you leave them?

Are you afraid of Zanki army?

Are you afraid of Zanki army?

Not out of fear.

Rather, to prove that Saladin was the one who planned the assassination.

Besiege her from all sides.

Sharp-eyed girl...

Why is this anger hidden in your looks?

Why did you try to kill Commander Gabriel?

You won't answer.

Commander Gabriel knows how to get you to answer.

Commander Gabriel knows how to get you to answer.

Bring her.

Catch her!

You won't be able to escape.

Let's go.

Attack.

Hold her.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Ahmed!

Go for it!

What happened, Ahmed? Couldn't you catch her?

She's a strong girl, Your Honor.

She came with preparations for an assassination.

And she ran away.

She obviously try to assassin him for the same reason Gabriel came to Jerusalem.

She obviously try to assassin him for the same reason Gabriel came to Jerusalem.

We could have learn that from her.

This man is alive, Your Honor!

Why did Gabriel come to Jerusalem?

-Talk! -To kill Muslims.

-Talk! -To kill Muslims.

Where will you attack?

What will you do? I told you to speak.

Talk!

-I told you to speak! -Ashkelon!

They are already on the move.

As we have done with Muslims until today,

We will do it to those in Ashkelon. We will tear them apart under our swords.

We will do it to those in Ashkelon. We will tear them apart under our swords.

Come on, kill me now.

Even to tyrants like you, we won't use our sword to someone without a sword.

Even to tyrants like you, we won't use our sword to someone without a sword.

Take him.

What shall we do, Your Honor?

What shall we do, Your Honor?

Ashkelon is the key to Jerusalem.

If they took there, it would mean that they strengthened Jerusalem.

We must help them before it is too late.

Okay, but, Your Honor...

Ashkelon is not our territory.

If they got there,

We and all Muslims will be in danger.

We and all Muslims will be in danger.

We can't stand doing nothing.

But the Ascalonians are our enemies, Your Honor.

Sultan Nur ad-Din would certainly not accept it.

Sultan Nur ad-Din would certainly not accept it.

DAMASCUS

Attention!

Attention!

His Eminence Sultan Nur ad-Din.

What did His Majesty the Caliph say?

God’s successor and shadow on earth, Hazrat Caliph Al-Kafi,

The greatest of the Caliphs,

The greatest of the Caliphs,

To the just Sultan Nur ad-Din Zanki, in the name of Islam and Muslims,

-He greets you. -And may peace be upon you.

As you know, the Seljuk ruler,

Sultan Sencer has died.

And the Seljuk state after Sultan Sencer,

And the Seljuk state after Sultan Sencer,

Collapsed, and the Islamic world entered into conflicts.

The most important tasks that will revive the nation is up to you.

The most important tasks that will revive the nation is up to you.

Of course.

The Crusaders present in Jerusalem and its environs,

They chased pilgrims heading to Mecca.

Muslims wishing to perform pilgrimage,

Lost their lives, and get captured under the attacks of the Crusaders.

The Caliph is fully convinced that this situation must end.

The Caliph is fully convinced that this situation must end.

For this reason, he believes that securing the,

Pilgrims' routes should be your responsibility.

This is a sacred mission.

Even if her burden is heavy and its responsibility is difficult,

We will fulfill this sacred mission before us even if it costs us our lives.

We will fulfill this sacred mission before us even if it costs us our lives.

In honor of this sacred mission, the Caliph has sent you this caftan.

In honor of this sacred mission, the Caliph has sent you this caftan.

I hope this mission is not a burden we can't bear, Your Majesty.

I hope this mission is not a burden we can't bear, Your Majesty.

Only our enemies would imagine such thing.

But we will crush all their wishes and will not let them be completed, Nusr ad-Din.

But we will crush all their wishes and will not let them be completed, Nusr ad-Din.

Taking on such a sacred mission to support the Islamic certainly befits Nur ad-Din.

Taking on such a sacred mission to support the Islamic certainly befits Nur ad-Din.

It really suits him.

Isn't it, Berra?

His power is known to the whole world.

No one would dare think of overthrowing his throne.

If your problem is Sultan Nur ad-Din,

He will die in the end too, Melike Hatun.

If your concern is the state, don't you worry anymore.

If your concern is the state, don't you worry anymore.

There is Nusr ad-Din, and our son Izz ad-Din.

Did you forget Saladin, the name of your husband and son before him?

Did you forget Saladin, the name of your husband and son before him?

No, I definitely haven't forgotten it.

I'm saying this for you.

It is your problem.

If you were to give birth to a son for the ruling dynasty, you would have been okay.

May Minister Ismail and Emir Reyhani host you.

Let us present the special gifts that have been prepared in advance to His Holiness.

Let us present the special gifts that have been prepared in advance to His Holiness.

-As you ordered, sir. -You may rest.

Please.

Saladin!

My lord!

My son, my lion!

God willing, we went to the expedition last spring.

You stand here as a brave person with a heart of iron.

I told you that the sword suits you as much as the pen suits you.

I told you that the sword suits you as much as the pen suits you.

-You did not disappoint me. -Learning requires reading,

And it requires living to understand.

-How are you, uncle? -Thank you nephew, I am fine.

The Caliph has assigned us a new mission.

You came at the right time.

You came at the right time.

Securing the pilgrims' route is now in our charge.

We are the ones who will protect the Muslim pilgrims from the Crusaders.

We are the ones who will protect the Muslim pilgrims from the Crusaders.

We have a new mission, dad, regarding protecting pilgrims from the Crusaders.

-I came to talk to you about it. -What is it?

-What is the problem? -The problem is...

Ashkelon.

What is Saladin doing here?

Since he came after all these years without warning,

It doesn't seem to be good at all.

It doesn't seem to be good at all.

He must have brought misfortune with him, obviously.

JERUSALEM

What do you mean by saying that Saladin killed all the knights?

And you ran away like cowards.

Gabriel.

It is enough.

It is enough.

He did his job.

It is enough to put the blame on Saladin for the assassination.

It is enough to put the blame on Saladin for the assassination.

What would happen if we accused him of assassination?

Saladin already knew about our attack on Ashkelon.

Saladin already knew about our attack on Ashkelon.

We caught Ashkelon off guard!

When Nur ad-Din Zanki finds out,

He will put his enmity aside and help them.

He will put his enmity aside and help them.

You are the sword,

And I am politics.

Now go and besiege Ashkelon.

Leave the matter of Nur ad-Din Zanki to me.

I will tie his hands, and he will be destroyed.

DAMASCUS

Do you realize what you are saying, Saladin?

The Ascalonians are our enemies.

As if our concern is not enough, we will go to help the enemies as well.

The problem is not a problem of an enemy or a friend, uncle.

It is the problem of the Islamic nation.

If the Crusaders take Ashkelon,

We will all be affected.

Let the Fatimids who pledged allegiance to them help them.

Let the Fatimids who pledged allegiance to them help them.

What do we have to do with them?

The Fatimids' aid was cut off from them.

The Ascalonians were left alone.

The person who is coming to attack Ashkelon,

The person who is coming to attack Ashkelon,

He is Gabriel, son of Jocelyn, the last commander of Urfa.

Seeking revenge for his father, my lord.

After taking Ashkelon,

They will attack our land.

In addition, Ashkelon is the key to Jerusalem.

If Crusaders take that place,

If Crusaders take that place,

-Our love for Jerusalem will have ended! -You still see the dream of Jerusalem!

Look, Saladin.

Look here.

Jerusalem, the Crusader Kingdom.

Tripoli, Crusader leadership.

Antakia, the Crusader Emirate, and many Crusader federations surrounding us.

The Muslims acting on their own, we are right in the middle of the fire!

The Muslims acting on their own, we are right in the middle of the fire!

We are a new country.

While we can barely take care of ourselves, should we continue the dream of Jerusalem?

While we can barely take care of ourselves, should we continue the dream of Jerusalem?

What you say dream,

Is the reason this country exists, uncle.

If we don't hold on to this dream,

Let this country collapse, what good will it come?

Jerusalem is not as strong as you think, that's why they want to take Ashkelon.

If we can't take Jerusalem yet, it is not because of the power of the Crusaders.

If we can't take Jerusalem yet, it is not because of the power of the Crusaders.

Rather, it is because of the dispersion of Muslims.

They are still hostile to each other.

Let us extend our hand to them to eliminate the enemies.

Let us extend our hand to them to eliminate the enemies.

Let Muslims unite.

Let them unite so that we can take Jerusalem from the hands of the infidels.

Let us make that place of Islam's.

Let us make that place of Islam's.

This matter will cause great chaos in the country, my lord.

If you deem it appropriate, let the council meet and take the decision as it should.

What Saladin says is true.

Even if they return, Ashkelon is very important to all of us.

Especially, if Jocelyn's son has come for revenge,

Especially, if Jocelyn's son has come for revenge,

This means that the fire will reach our lands.

But what Nusr ad-Din says should not be ignored.

But what Nusr ad-Din says should not be ignored.

A decision of this importance should hardly have been issued by the council.

Let the court meet.

And you will wait until the decision is issued, Saladin.

What is it Melike Hatun. Do you have a problem?

What is it Melike Hatun. Do you have a problem?

Of course, it's Saladin again.

He must be here with a misfortune.

Everything Malik Saladin will do will harm Sultan Nur ad-Din.

Everything Malik Saladin will do will harm Sultan Nur ad-Din.

Berra Hatun has her eyes set on the throne.

-She seeks the opportunity for her son. -They do not understand!

If I were to have a son...

If I were to have a son...

If I had been able to give birth to a son, this would not have happened.

He would have been our guarantee.

Then, I wouldn't have cared about Saladin's actions, nor Berra's problem.

There is no doctor left that we have not gone to Melike Hatun, what can we do?

There is no doctor left that we have not gone to Melike Hatun, what can we do?

I will not back down until my last breath, otherwise our future is in danger.

What are doing in this mess. They are all looking us differently.

What are doing in this mess. They are all looking us differently.

They really piss me off!

Because it's the first time they see a wild animal.

Be patient, when Malik Saladin takes permission from the Sultan, we will return.

Then the battles will begin and you will have a lot of rest.

He is coming.

The decision will be issued by the council, we do not have enough time.

The decision will be issued by the council, we do not have enough time.

We must go to Ashkelon before Gabriel attacks with the Templars.

The Court meeting will not end until the evening, Your Honor.

I haven't seen my son Omer for a long time.

If you allow me, I want to hug him and get rid of my longing for my family.

If you allow me, I want to hug him and get rid of my longing for my family.

Scholar Omer?

He is on his work again.

Since we're going to wait, let's wait next to Omer.

Since we're going to wait, let's wait next to Omer.

And we can see my brothers son.

Don't you worry your honor, he'll come and kiss your hands.

No way! Scholars are not to call to feet.

No way! Scholars are not to call to feet.

I am considered his uncle.

What worry you talk about?

-Then please, Your Honor. -Let's go.

DAMASCUS - WOMEN'S MARKET

It turned out so beautiful, make another ten of it.

This is not okay! Build the spoons from birch wood so they will be strong.

At your command, Fatma Hatun.

May God make your work easy, Mrs. Zumrud.

Peace be upon you, Fatma Hatun.

Peace be upon you, Fatma Hatun.

The daggers are very beautifully engraved. Who do you make them for?

I made it for Shirkuh, what he wears on his waist is very old.

I made it for Shirkuh, what he wears on his waist is very old.

I want the new one to be worthy of an army commander.

Don't you think you should make these special things at home?

Don't you think you should make these special things at home?

He's my husband, so what?

Don't worry, the girls take care of things here.

Fatma Hatun, good news!

What is it?

Your son, Shahen-Shah, is here.

Your son, Shahen-Shah, is here.

Shahen-Shah!

Read.

In the name of your Lord who created.

Read the name of your Lord who created.

-What is meant by the word “read", Omer? -Reading and understanding Holy Qur'an.

-What is meant by the word “read", Omer? -Reading and understanding Holy Qur'an.

There is another meaning for "Read", which is invitation.

-Dad! -Son!

Omer.

Calling people to God's commands, the good, the beautiful, the right, and unity.

Calling people to God's commands, the good, the beautiful, the right, and unity.

Every word in the Qur’an is full of meanings.

I also know what you said. I was going to say it and then you said it.

I also know what you said. I was going to say it and then you said it.

Son.

He is Malik Saladin.

You are full of passion for knowledge, God willing.

Don't lose it.

Okay?

No one could beat you in school debates, you didn't change at all.

No one could beat you in school debates, you didn't change at all.

Peace be upon you, my teacher.

Swinging swords all these year, I couldn't come here. I will come, God willing.

-Nice to see you. If you'll excuse me.

-Nice to see you. If you'll excuse me.

-Here you go, Your Honor. -Shahen-Shah.

-Here you go, Your Honor. -Shahen-Shah.

Mom!

I miss you so much.

Son!

Praise be to those who brought us together!

Praise be to those who brought us together!

You all look fine, thank God.

You all look fine, thank God.

You're welcome too.

You must be one of the warriors of the borders, like Shahen-Shah, too.

He is the chief of the warriors of the borders, father.

Malik Saladin, son of Sultan Nur ad-Din.

Son!

Mom!

You didn't hug me like that, I'll be jealous!

Rather, I am the one who is jealous, Shahen-Shah.

I never saw my real mother.

I am burning by the fire of longing for my mother for years.

I am burning by the fire of longing for my mother for years.

But you hugged me in a way that,

Made me feel warmth in my heart for the first time.

This means that the mother's warmth is something like this.

Because I...

I...

I...

I breast fed you as a baby.

I give you my baby, whose scent I haven't gotten enough of yet.

But,

I have a request from you.

I have a request from you.

I want my son to grow up with my milk even if he does not know that I am his mother.

What fills in my chest is his to get.

He's also still very young.

He will get cold if he is in a place other than his mother's arms.

My baby won't get warm.

What made us brothers,

Is the milk that we breastfed from the same mother, Shahen-Shah.

As long as that's the case,

Why didn't you tell us all this time?

None of us know that for some reason.

Is this true now? We all remained standing.

Come on and relax.

Come on and relax.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Let's go.

DAMASCUS

Helping Ashkelon is in the interest of our state in every way, Your Majesty.

Helping Ashkelon is in the interest of our state in every way, Your Majesty.

If we liberate Ashkelon,

The people of Ashkelon will pledge allegiance to us, not Fatimids.

With this we will get the key to Jerusalem.

You are in charge, but you...

You do not know the Fatimids yet, Your Excellency.

You do not know the Fatimids yet, Your Excellency.

Do you think that the Fatimids will abandon Ashkelon easily?

Are we going to be busy with the Fatimids now too?

As if our struggle with the Crusaders was not enough!

You became a Emir and have no knowledge of the power of the state.

Emir Reyhani.

We have sufficient sword power to confront the Fatimids and Crusaders if necessary.

We have sufficient sword power to confront the Fatimids and Crusaders if necessary.

Also, Malik Saladin says something true.

If Gabriel were to take Ashkelon,

If Gabriel were to take Ashkelon,

We will be his first target.

We must put out this fire before it ignites.

What is the power of the sword you are talking about, Shirkuh?

Are they few warriors of the borders with Saladin?

This is not like raiding castles in the mountain,

Or setting traps on the roads and cities.

Or setting traps on the roads and cities.

Going to Ashkelon means risking the country, my lord.

And if we don't go,

Bigger fires will burn beside us.

Wisdom is not taking a step looking at today, but rather looking into the future.

Wisdom is not taking a step looking at today, but rather looking into the future.

Come in.

My lord.

Baldwin, king of Jerusalem, is here.

Oh my God!

Shahen-Shah, the warrior of the borders!

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

When your family was out of sight, are they out of mind?

You did not inform us of your arrival.

I had to come suddenly, brother.

I had to come suddenly, brother.

Is it possible that you are far from my heart?

I don't know, brother!

You've been with Malik Saladin for a long time.

His status is higher than the mountain!

His status is higher than the mountain!

I thought you no longer saw those below when you rose high.

Shahen-Shah is not beside me to rise,

But to lift me up.

I am their companion in the raids.

You...

I mean you...

Saladin, son of Sultan Nur ad-Din.

Forgive me, Your Honor, I did not know.

There's a lot you don't know yet, Turan-Shah.

What don't I know, sister-in-law?

What don't I know, sister-in-law?

Malik Saladin, is your breastfed brother!

Swords.

His Eminence Sultan Nur ad-Din is waiting for you.

We knew that you were bound and remained in Jerusalem, King Baldwin.

What brought you to the Damascus?

Your son, Saladin.

What happened to my son?

What happened to my son?

He came to Jerusalem.

What is he doing in Jerusalem?

He came as an ambassador for Sultan Nur ad-Din.

Or do you have no knowledge of the matter, Sultan Nur ad-Din?

Or do you have no knowledge of the matter, Sultan Nur ad-Din?

Moreover, he made an attempt on our lives.

My son is my permanent ambassador.

He goes on my behalf whenever he wants to where he wants.

But he won't make an assassination attempt.

But he won't make an assassination attempt.

This is slander!

If we have an account,

We eliminate him on the battlefield.

Not by assassination.

Saladin killed all the knights who pursued the assassin.

My soldiers saw him.

It is clear that he was afraid that the truth of the matter would be exposed.

But it was revealed nonetheless.

How do we know that this is not slander?

How do we know that this is not slander?

I don't come here for slander!

I came to understand how serious the issue is.

Ask your son too if you like.

Let's see if he will deny what he did.

Suppose he was the one who attempted the assassination...

Why would His Honor do something like this?

His target was Gabriel, the leader of the Knights Templar.

He wanted to kill him so that he would not launch an attack on Ashkelon.

Malik Saladin must have did everything without the knowledge of the state.

We will do what is necessary with him inside the country.

This incident should not spoil the peace between the two countries.

It's not that easy!

Saladin was the Malik of the Zanki state.

Saladin was the Malik of the Zanki state.

The Zanki state will pay the price for this act.

What price are you talking about?

I hear you took over the job of protecting the pilgrimage route.

I hear you took over the job of protecting the pilgrimage route.

I know how important this job is for you Muslims.

As important as it is to you,

Ashkelon is equally important to us.

We'll take Ashkelon.

If you try to intervene there, I will travel to pilgrimage route, and destroy it.

If you try to intervene there, I will travel to pilgrimage route, and destroy it.

Not a single Muslim will be able to cross.

Are you threatening me?

Not a threat,

Not a threat,

Rather, an agreement!

Don't touch us so we won't touch you.

If we see a single Zanki in Ashkelon,

The pilgrimage route will be hell for Muslims.

The pilgrimage route will be hell for Muslims.

Then,

What will your position be with the Muslims and with your great Caliph?

What will your position be with the Muslims and with your great Caliph?

Think about this.

O Sultan Nur ad-Din.

ASHKELON

ASHKELON

Oh Ashkelon!

Would we be left alone like this by those we owe allegiance to?

We have been here for five hundred years.

We have been alone for five hundred years, brother.

Everyone we considered our friend has abandoned us.

Everyone we considered our friend has abandoned us.

We defended ourselves.

We will defend alone today as well.

His Eminence Emir Mansour.

Have you let scouts go?

Have you let scouts go?

The Templars must be watching us.

-Don't let them let anyone through. -We have sent scouts.

But we have a bigger problem.

Sureyya Hatun entered Jerusalem dressed as a merchant.

At that time, Gabriel was the leader of the Knights Templar there.

Sureyya Hatun!

Sureyya!

Is what I hear true, my daughter?

-Is... -That's true, Dad.

I went to Jerusalem.

Why?

To kill that man called Gabriel.

I hid myself and attacked him.

But he evaded the arrow of death at the last moment.

Have you lost your mind, my daughter?

Have you lost your mind, my daughter?

How do you do something like this?

Why are you making an assassination attempt?

The Templars were going to be leaderless and in chaos when I killed Gabriel.

We were going to take advantage of this and eliminate them.

We were going to take advantage of this and eliminate them.

We would not have given them the opportunity to attack Ashkelon.

And your life is important too, Sureyya Hatun.

You should kiss this girl on the forehead, brother.

She did what many men could not do for their country.

An Ashkelon woman suiting our blood.

An Ashkelon woman suiting our blood.

What are you saying, Esma?

Does it make sense to do this move now while the Templars are attacking us?

Everything will get worse now.

Everything will get worse now.

What could happen worse than our situation now, dad?

Look, even the Fatimids to whom we pledged allegiance can't provide us with aid!

No one hears our voice!

The entire world had become blind and deaf to us.

That's all I managed to do.

That's all I managed to do.

And I did this for our country.

-Dad! -Halil?

-Dad! -Halil?

What's this hurry, son?

There are knights approaching the wall.

Who are they?

Gabriel!

These are the scouts we sent around.

These are the scouts we sent around.

They killed two more of us.

They killed two more of us.

To hell with them!

Everyone get ready.

Gabriel has started the war.

Gabriel has started the war.

DAMASCUS

Your command, my lord.

How do you go to Jerusalem, Saladin?

How do you get involved in an assassination attempt?

How do you get involved in an assassination attempt?

My lord, I have nothing to do with the assassination attempt.

I said this to King Baldwin.

King Baldwin has come here.

King Baldwin has come here.

He left nothing unsaid to us in our presence.

And we couldn't find anything to say because of you.

You killed the knights who pursued the assassin.

-Is this correct? -Yes.

My goal was to find out the reason for his assassination attempt.

But as I said, my lord,

I was not the one who planned the assassination attempt.

I know you didn't plan it.

But after what you did,

But after what you did,

The charge will remain on you.

How did you not think of this, Saladin?

It happened.

It happened.

Forget about Ashkelon.

You won't go to Ashkelon for help.

How is this possible, my lord?

How is this possible, my lord?

Will we leave it to the Crusaders in plain sight?

If we help Ashkelon,

King Baldwin said that he would block the pilgrimage route.

It is clear that he is trying to subdue us with threats.

We can't risk something like this for the Ascalonians.

We can't risk the lives of so many Muslims.

If Gabriel takes Ashkelon,

If Gabriel takes Ashkelon,

Won't the lives of Muslims in our lands be in danger?

Ashkelon is close to Jerusalem.

Aren't these the only lands under Muslim control, father?

Aren't these the only lands under Muslim control, father?

What about Jerusalem, our goal?

And our cause of uniting Muslims?

Don't they have any importance?

This would not have happened if you had not gone to Jerusalem.

This would not have happened if you had not gone to Jerusalem.

Your involvement in that assassination attempt has tied us up.

I agree with you, but...

As our Sultan says,

We can't risk the pilgrimage route for Ashkelon.

The supreme interests of the state,

The supreme interests of the state,

Requires this, Your Honor.

My judgment is final.

The council has ended.

Why did you tell Saladin that you breast fed him, Fatma?

I couldn't bear it, Eyub.

When I suddenly saw my son, whom I had given with my own hands years ago,

I let myself go.

Sultan Nur ad-Din trusted us,

And shared this secret with us.

Whatever it is,

You should have acted wisely.

You should have acted wisely.

Don't pressure me, Eyub.

Don't you know?

My heart has been bleeding for years.

Do you think I'm different from you?

But this secret,

But this secret,

Very important for all of us.

Let's pray that,

Saladin doesn't suspect this matter and follow it.

Saladin doesn't suspect this matter and follow it.

Otherwise, none of us will be able to prevent what will happen.

May I, father?

Come, Saladin.

Why, dad?

Why are you blocking me?

You are the one who ingrained this invitation in my mind.

You are the one who ingrained this invitation in my mind.

You are the one who raised me so that Muslims can unite and liberate Jerusalem.

It's okay if the world doesn't understand me.

It's okay if the world doesn't understand me.

But I wanted you to understand me and agree with me.

Aside from the Ashkelon issue,

Aside from the Ashkelon issue,

This is what bothers me.

When I was young I was like you too.

I was ruling the world with my brave heart and sharp sword.

I thought I could solve everything.

Because I only had my life to lose.

Because I only had my life to lose.

And I would sacrifice it for my mission.

But after that...

Fate has placed the burden of sovereignty on our shoulders.

And it made us sit on a throne of fire.

Then I looked,

Then I looked,

And realized that I had many things that I could lose.

There is a country.

And there are the lives of citizens.

And at this time,

I understood that I couldn't solve everything with my heart or my sword.

And I understand you too, son.

And I understand you too, son.

I got you too.

But you didn't understand me.

But I won't be offended.

Because I know,

You will only understand me when you are in my place.

What's the point if I understand, dad?

The Crusaders will take Ashkelon.

The Crusaders will take Ashkelon.

We will have given up our lands to enemies.

I can't accept backing down.

You will learn within yourself that some truths must be accepted.

You will learn within yourself that some truths must be accepted.

I'm still learning that too.

Do you share every truth,

With me dad?

Of course, son.

Of course, son.

Sure.

Then why didn't you tell me that Mrs. Fatma was the one who breastfed me?

Then why didn't you tell me that Mrs. Fatma was the one who breastfed me?

Why didn't you share this with me?

Why didn't you share this with me?

She breastfed you for a short time.

She breastfed you for a short time.

I didn't see any need to tell you.

I wish you had told me.

I am hurt for years about not having a mother.

I am hurt for years about not having a mother.

When I saw a mother hugging her son,

My heart was bleeding.

Because the absence of a mother hurts the heart.

If you had told me who breastfed me,

Maybe this wound would have healed with her.

Let it be as you said, Your Honor.

Let it be as you said, Your Honor.

In the end, you have a state and citizens.

Their survival is your responsibility.

Their survival is your responsibility.

But my responsibility,

It is to extend a helping hand to every poor as much as I can.

It is to extend a helping hand to every poor as much as I can.

No child should be left without a mother.

I can't see injustice and sit doing nothing.

You should know this, dad.

Every choice has a price, Saladin.

One of the heaviest of these prices is,

Opposing the state's decision.

The moment you enter Ashkelon,

The moment you enter Ashkelon,

It means that you risked this price.

I wonder what decision was made?

I wonder what decision was made?

What will happen?

Of course the Sultan will give us permission to go to the battlefield.

Wait for us, O infidels.

Your Honor!

What happened, Your Honor?

Our request to go to Ashkelon has been rejected.

Our request to go to Ashkelon has been rejected.

How is that?

He said that if we go to Ashkelon, King Baldwin said he will block pilgrimage road.

They tied our hands together.

They will be in the battlefield.

They won't be able to get off.

Even if the army does not come, we will go to Ashkelon.

Excuse me, Your Honor,

But if you violate the state's decision, the end will not be good.

But if you violate the state's decision, the end will not be good.

Ashkelon's salvation is linked to us, and our salvation is linked to Ashkelon.

Victory will clear us of every charge.

Victory will clear us of every charge.

I laid down my life for this path.

I won't go back on my path even if I pay the price from my father, or the enemy.

I won't go back on my path even if I pay the price from my father, or the enemy.

Are you with me?

We are.

I am with you too.

Allow me to come too, Your Honor.

Turan-Shah, your presence here is the best.

We may be on a path that ends in death.

We may be on a path that ends in death.

Even if death is at the end of it, isn't that for a great goal, Your Honor?

I've always wanted to fight for such a great cause.

There can be no greater duty than this.

And also Shahen-Shah, is my brother.

And you are my breastfed brother.

I don't want to be here while my brothers go to death.

Ashkelon.

ASHKELON

You will be the place I salute my father's throne.

I will make you the city of my revenge and my love.

Sir, Saladin has moved toward Ashkelon.

Sir, Saladin has moved toward Ashkelon.

King Baldwin should have blocked Nur ad-Din.

King Baldwin should have blocked Nur ad-Din.

But it is clear that his son, Saladin, won't stop.

Of course he knows that when I take Ashkelon it will be hell for them.

Of course he knows that when I take Ashkelon it will be hell for them.

This is what you would expect from someone like Saladin.

The resistance in Ashkelon will increase when Saladin and his men come.

The resistance in Ashkelon will increase when Saladin and his men come.

Let some of our men put around Ashkelon.

And tell them not to let Saladin in.

Your order, sir.

Your order, sir.

When Saladin comes, we will have already taken Ashkelon.

The war begins!

The war begins!

This doesn't look god.

They are trying to resist.

But they are clearly outnumbered.

But they are clearly outnumbered.

The siege is getting harder.

Then let's attack the knights invading the walls.

This way we can weaken their power.

This way we can weaken their power.

They are more of them, Turan-Shah.

We can't risk losing.

The only thing we will do is go to Ashkelon and strengthen the defense.

As resistance increases in Ashkelon, the resistance of the Knights will decrease.

As resistance increases in Ashkelon, the resistance of the Knights will decrease.

Okay, your honor, but...

The whole place is under siege.

How will we get into Ashkelon?

How will we get into Ashkelon?

Take the wounded quickly to be treated. Hurry up!

Take the wounded quickly to be treated. Hurry up!

Run fast to help, run!

Ashkelon can't afford to lose any more lives.

Be careful not to be seen.

We will pass through here and enter Ashkelon through the canal.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Reinforce the vacancies left by the wounded.

There are no men left to reinforce these areas, Sureyya Hatun.

We lost dozens of martyrs and wounded in one attack.

I don't know what our situation will be like in the next attack.

I don't know what our situation will be like in the next attack.

What is the situation at the walls?

Same.

We get constant martyrs and wounded people from there.

If we continue like this, we will lose Ashkelon before morning.

If we continue like this, we will lose Ashkelon before morning.

We came in so hastily, but..

Can this be a trap set by the Askalan for the enemy?

Come on, brother!

You are not going to die on the battlefield,

You are not going to die on the battlefield,

You'll die because of your delusions.

Come on, hurry up.

Come on, hurry up.

Don't move.

Who are you?

Why are you sneaking into Ashkelon like this?

What is your intention?

We came to help.

Who are you to come and help us?

I am Saladin, son of Sultan Nur ad-Din Zanki.

I am Saladin, son of Sultan Nur ad-Din Zanki.

Are the archers in their place?

-Yes, father. -Okay.

What's going on here, Sureyya?

They entered Ashkelon secretly.

They say they came to help us, father.

Who are they?

He is the son of Nur ad-Din Zanki.

My enemy's son came to help me, really?

My enemy's son came to help me, really?

Are you trying to fool us?

We are not fooling anyone.

Ashkelon is not only important for you, it is also,

Ashkelon is not only important for you, it is also,

Important for us and for the entire Islamic world.

That's why we came.

That Nur ad-Din Zanki must be up to something, I know this.

It was only because of your enmity with us that you united with the Templars, right?

Under the pretext that you will help us, you will attack us from within.

Is there a reason to hit you from the inside?

Is there a reason to hit you from the inside?

You are already in a miserable state.

If we leave you, the Templars will eliminate you sooner or later.

We came so that the Crusaders do not take Ashkelon and so that you are not destroyed.

We came so that the Crusaders do not take Ashkelon and so that you are not destroyed.

What is Nur ad-Din Zanki's goal in helping us?

Does he think that when he saves Ashkelon, he thinks we pledge allegiance to him?

Does he think that when he saves Ashkelon, he thinks we pledge allegiance to him?

Is this the whole thing?

As long as we are on the right path, we won't think about outcomes, Emir Mansour.

It is enough for Ashkelon not to fall into the hands of the Crusaders.

It is enough for Ashkelon not to fall into the hands of the Crusaders.

After that, swear allegiance to whomever you wish.

Either we will save Ashkelon together,

Or you will lose your soul and your country because of this stubbornness.

Leave them to see how they will help us, Father.

Let see if our enemy will cause us harm or good.

My sister is right, dad.

We need now even one person.

We need now even one person.

They are also warriors of the borders.

One of them is worth at least three knights.

Our mean near Ashkelon said that they did not see Saladin there.

Our mean near Ashkelon said that they did not see Saladin there.

Maybe he gave up when he saw the siege.

Tell these idiots to withdraw immediately.

Tell these idiots to withdraw immediately.

Saladin has already entered Ashkelon.

Nur ad-Din Zanki did not send his army.

Nur ad-Din Zanki did not send his army.

Saladin came with only his men.

What can this small number of people do to us?

The number of people does not matter.

Saladin must have a plan.

But it won't work.

We'll move on to the big attack.

Let all the knights prepare.

Saladin hurt us,

But we will kill him.

Aside from the knights guarding the front door,

With our defense forces with Halil leading them,

We will defend eastern walls.

Because these walls are the heart of the city.

Because these walls are the heart of the city.

It would be a mistake to have the entire defense on the west side of the wall only.

The knights will come from south beach and we must defend from there as well.

Coming from south beach will be hard for them.

Coming from south beach will be hard for them.

They can't risk that.

And because they know you will think like that, they will take a risk.

Reducing defense from the east walls is also dangerous.

How are we going to risk this?

How are we going to risk this?

If they can come in front of the walls, the resistance there is great.

We will suddenly eliminate them before they even reach the wall.

They will try to enter by ship through the city's port.

They will try to enter by ship through the city's port.

There is no need to attack them.

It is enough for us to defend when they get close.

We have some ships, our men will create a line of defense.

We have some ships, our men will create a line of defense.

Your men will support us on shore, and our men will do what is necessary at sea.

Look, we agreed to the ambush at the beach,

But when it comes to the ships, do not interfere.

We live in the heart of the sea.

We live in the heart of the sea.

Will you know the methods of sea warfare better than we do?

We are fighting the Crusaders in every direction.

You won't know better than us how to fight them.

Is your problem fighting or saving Ashkelon?

Is your problem fighting or saving Ashkelon?

-My problem is... -Okay.

Let it be as he said.

Prepare the ships.

Since attacking the beach is important, you and your men go there, Your Honor.

I will supervise the defense line at sea.

You can't do it alone. Let Shahen-Shah go with you too.

You can't do it alone. Let Shahen-Shah go with you too.

Don't spoil the defense line, Turan-Shah.

No matter what happens, do not move from your place.

Your command, Your Honor.

Look at the shame we have fallen into, my brother.

What shame, Esma?

While we're trying to protect Askalan from one enemy, you brought the other here.

While we're trying to protect Askalan from one enemy, you brought the other here.

And you also do whatever that son of Zanki says.

If something happens to us because of these people,

If something happens to us because of these people,

I won't forgive this.

Wait a while!

Do you think that here are Zanki lands that you want us to do what you say?

Do you think that here are Zanki lands that you want us to do what you say?

Your attitudes won't work here.

Think about Ashkelon as much as you think about yourself.

Think about Ashkelon as much as you think about yourself.

If you can't do that, do not think like an enemy, think like me.

Your father clearly doesn't think much of it.

He's trying to trick us by sending his warriors here.

If his intentions were good, he would have sent the Zanki army.

If you had not made that assassination attempt,

In Jerusalem, our army would have been here.

You have no idea what your action cost.

But don't worry.

Once we've destroyed the Templars and save Askalan, we'll have your mind in ease.

The ships have moved, sir.

This means that they will defend from the sea.

Let the knights on the ships prepare and arm themselves and wait for the signal.

Your order, sir.

Your order, sir.

Wave it.

Raise your shields!

all ships, fire to the arrows!

In the name of God.

Fire!

I told you.

Ready!

Ready!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Come on, attack!

Fire!

Fire!

Attack!

Attack!

O Allah!

Those on the beach have fallen into their trap!

Those on the beach have fallen into their trap!

Saladin understood.

You're a good chess player, Saladin.

But you haven't seen my attack yet.

But you haven't seen my attack yet.

Hurry!

Sir, the galleys are starting to burn.

Sir, the galleys are starting to burn.

We will withdraw.

Pay attention!

Pay attention!

We will withdraw, we will withdraw!

Hurry and go up, hurry!

Hurry and go up, hurry!

Onward, forward!

Come on, come on!

They are withdrawing.

This is the time to pounce on them.

Put down the oars!

Put down the oars!

Come on, come on!

-Come on, paddle, come on! -Row, lions!

The Emir has ordered us not to leave our positions, brother. Did you not hear him?

-Are you disobeying orders? -This is not disobeying orders.

-Are you disobeying orders? -This is not disobeying orders.

I do what is my responsibility.

If we leave them, they will recover and attack us again.

We will attack and kill them all while they are in this weak state.

We will attack and kill them all while they are in this weak state.

To enemy ships.

In the name of God!

Come on, row!

Row harder, row harder!

We can't leave him alone.

Put down the oars!

We will head to the enemy ships.

Put the oars down, come on!

Your Honor!

What do your men do?

I ordered them not to move, why are they attacking them?

This means that the enemy galleys were sabotaged.

-They will strike their last blow. -What blow?!

Gabriel is luring them to his side, don't you see?

They will fall into the trap, let's go!

Don't go, the front will be weakened here.

They will die if I don't go.

-You stay here. -Yes, sir.

Come on, my brothers.

Come on, my brothers.

They are approaching, sir.

Yes.

They are approaching to their death.

How do you leave your places, how?!

Hurry, come on!

Faster.

Their fire couldn't burn us.

It's time for our own fire.

Greek fire.

Malik Saladin has come.

Your Honor.

Your Honor.

How do you leave your places, Shahen-Shah?

They're luring you into Greek fire, don't you see?

I also said that to my brother Turan-Shah.

I also said that to my brother Turan-Shah.

But I didn't want to leave him alone while he attacked enemy ships.

Turan-Shah?

I will hold him accountable for disobeying orders.

They signaled to the others, let everyone paddle.

Start paddling, we'll be back now, come on!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Come on, hurry up!

Come on, row!

Come on, row!

Row harder, come on!

Saladin!

Sir, Saladin has caught up with them.

They return before we attack with Greek fire.

They return before we attack with Greek fire.

I caught them.

They have no escape from it.

Give them the signal.

Give them the signal.

Let all the archers on the ships be ready.

Fire!

Fire!

Raise your shields!

They have blocked our way back. We are stuck, Your Honor.

They have blocked our way back. We are stuck, Your Honor.

What do you think you are doing?

We have covered up this breastfeeding matter,

So as not to reveal the secret.

So as not to reveal the secret.

Do you know what would happen if this secret is revealed?

Everyone will be shook, everyone!

Is this a good time to be vulnerable as we move forward with confidence in our goals?

Is this a good time to be vulnerable as we move forward with confidence in our goals?

If he is that important,

Why did you throw Saladin to the battlefield?

Why did you throw Saladin to the battlefield?

Saladin disobeyed the order and went to Ashkelon.

He has Shahen-Shah and Turan-Shah next to him.

He has Shahen-Shah and Turan-Shah next to him.

How could you not stop him?

What would I do? Chain him in the palace?

Don't you know that he doesn't listen to anyone when he decides something?

Don't you know that he doesn't listen to anyone when he decides something?

I gave you my son to be the foundation of the state.

I gave him to you for great purposes, for the sake of Jerusalem.

I gave him to you for great purposes, for the sake of Jerusalem.

We are still determined on our goals.

So why aren't you at Saladin's side now?

Why doesn't our army fight with him?

You left them alone in the middle of that hell.

When Saladin returns,

Will he be punished because he disobeyed state orders?

Will he be punished because he disobeyed state orders?

He knew the consequences when he decided to go.

If something happens,

In Ashkelon to Saladin and his brothers...

In Ashkelon to Saladin and his brothers...

Or if the state decides,

To punish Saladin...

I will reveal this secret.

I will tell everyone that,

He is my son.

He is my son.

We must resist, Your Honor.

Otherwise we will not get out of this hell hole alive.

We are under a hail of fire, Shahen-Shah. This is not the time.

We will never find a more appropriate time than now.

We will never find a more appropriate time than now.

Wait, Shahen-Shah.

Shahen-Shah!

Shahen-Shah!

Shahen-Shah!

Shahen-Shah!

Hold on, Shahen-Shah, hold on.

Hold on, we will survive.

Hold on.

We have surrounded our prey well, sir.

It's time to end them.

We burned them with our fire.

Now we'll blow them up in the air.

They won't even be able to find your remains, Saladin.

Protect His Holiness!

Extinguish the flames!

Let's go!

Beware!

I don't know when I will return from the company of the warriors of the borders.

My son Omer, is your entrust.

I know very well what it means to abandon your child,

Whom you still haven't gotten enough of his smell.

Me too,

Trust you...

On my son.

Yusuf.

He is not dead, Shahen-Shah.

He is not dead, Shahen-Shah.

Malik Saladin, who you will go to,

He is your blood brother.

-Mom! -You will understand when the time comes.

You are the son I have the most in whose heart and tongue I trust.

You are the son I have the most in whose heart and tongue I trust.

Dedicate your soul to your brother.

Dedicate your soul to your brother.

Dedicate your blood to your brother.

Keep the seal in your heart and tongue.

And carry this secret with you to your grave.

I will save you from this hell, don't worry, brother.

I will save you from this hell, don't worry, brother.

We will not survive this ring of fire.

But I will put out,

The fire that has been burning inside me for years.
