A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
[footsteps echoing]
[loud techno music playing]
[people shouting and cheering]
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it. Quite the turnout we have tonight.
[air horn sounds]
It's your turn to speak.
Who are we?
[all] The Immortals!
Who owns Istanbul?
We do!
- Who are we? - The Immortals!
- Who owns Istanbul? - We do!
Okay, come on. Everybody, let the fight begin!
- [bell rings] - Come on!
[techno music continues]
[crowd roars]
[woman] Kill him!
[shouting]
Do it!
[crowd chanting] Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
Wait, everyone!
All of you have embraced your role in this new world order
now that you've become one of us!
[all] Yeah!
You all! You understand the pleasures that await,
and you've grabbed a hold of your life!
[cheering]
Quiet!
But one of you has embraced her role more than most,
committing to this journey to the fullest.
Proving more than anyone else!
Zeynep! [laughs]
[all] Yeah!
Zeynep!
It's your call.
[all] Yeah!
[crowd cheering]
Hakan?
Are you okay, man?
[Sami] Hakan?
- Where's the sword, Sami? - I'll grab it.
Fuck.
[Hakan] I may not be able to bring you something back here,
but I may be able to take something to the future.
We're not going to stop the Vizier in the present.
It's in the past where we're gonna settle this.
[electronic dance music playing]
[Faysal clears throat]
I thought that your lover was supposed to give you chocolates and flowers,
not a dagger.
Oh, right, pardon.
Your love was never conventional, was it?
Are you trying to imply something?
Hmm? No. I am not implying anything.
I'm making small talk.
Faysal, you strut around like you own this place...
because I allow you to.
You get to pretend like you're in charge...
[thwack]
...because...
You allow me to.
Mm-hmm.
You've achieved so much.
Why can't you be happier?
Nothing has been achieved. The Protector still has the key.
The elixir of mortality.
You're talking about the same potion Faysal gave Rüya.
Look, the first Protector tried to kill the Vizier,
and now look at where we are.
We are not gonna repeat history here.
If we can make the Vizier human in the past,
then the Vizier won't wake up in the bottom of the Hagia Sophia,
and we'll be able to save Istanbul.
So we need the elixir. Where do we find it?
Zeynep...
said Faysal had one more dose hidden.
But this isn't something he would leave somewhere for someone to find.
- He would keep it close to him. - Hakan.
Son of a bitch.
[ominous music playing]
[Hakan] The only way to get the elixir is to go in there.
Look at them. Fucking Immortals.
I doubt anyone will recognize us looking like this.
Come on. Let's go.
[Hakan] Guys, this is our home.
We know this place inside and out.
You go downstairs. I'm gonna search up here, okay? Go.
[electronic dance music playing]
How's it going, huh?
Looking good.
[Hakan] This is going to be a piece of cake.
We'll get the elixir before the Immortals even notice.
In and out, we won't be in there for more than 10 minutes.
We'll search all the rooms, all the possible hiding places.
You know what we're looking for.
The elixir's in a chess piece.
The king.
In case of emergency, we'll have a backup plan.
Let's stay in touch through the earpieces.
Hakan, there's nothing here.
Nothing here either.
Hakan, it's not here.
[woman laughing nearby]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Ha. Found it. Found it.
Mission accomplished.
That's a good look.
Didn't they teach you that a guest is supposed to bring a housewarming present,
not ransack the host's room looking for one?
Nisan...
Nisan doesn't exist anymore.
Oh, right.
The Vizier.
The deadly assassin who aims directly for the heart. That Vizier.
But you had other names, too, didn't you?
For instance, Valeriya.
She's still there somewhere, isn't she?
Hmm?
Nisan, how many people have you been?
How many different lives have you had? How many names?
But out of all those names and people, you like being called "my heart" the best.
You...
But how?
You wanna burn this city because of your broken heart?
Fine.
But I'll fight you to save it.
Whoa!
The man we've been looking for. Why didn't you tell me, Vizier?
Ha. Hakan wants to join the party.
And you almost let him leave early.
But we can't just let such an esteemed guest
leave the party without some entertainment.
[Faysal chuckles]
[man 1] Someone new.
[man 2] We gotta warm up this new fight.
[woman] Here we go.
Hakan...
you know by now that I'm a very patient and reasonable man.
And so...
I'm extending you the same offer I've made to all Istanbul.
Join us.
[Hakan chuckles]
Fuck you, Faysal.
Okay.
This is what you came here for, right? Hmm?
Well then, go get it.
- Let the fight begin! - [bell rings]
[crowd cheering]
[man] Come on, Zeynep!
Zeynep, don't, it's me.
Zeynep.
[shouting and cheering]
Zeynep! It's me, Hakan!
The name Hakan means nothing to me.
[rhythmic electronic music playing]
Kill him, Zeynep!
[crowd chanting] Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
[crowd booing]
Zeynep!
You're right. You're not Zeynep.
You're nothing to me either.
[cheering]
Yeah, that's right.
We're not on the same team anymore.
Meet the new Zeynep, who's gonna put a stop to the Protector.
[Faysal chuckles]
[Faysal laughing]
Laugh all you want.
When I'm done with you, you're gonna tell me what's in that elixir.
If I knew the formula, you'd be welcome to it.
Only one person knows what's in that elixir, and that's her.
Too bad, because I hear you're getting on her nerves.
[crowd chanting] Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
Hakan, I think there are some more people who wanna say hello.
Mm-hmm.
[crowd chanting] Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
[crowd continues chanting]
Get ready.
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
[gas hissing]
[clamoring]
[muffled voices]
We're right behind you.
Tell me the formula for the elixir, or else.
Or else what? Huh?
Are you gonna kill me?
It's not like you haven't killed me before.
But I will never give you that formula.
[knife slices]
I am not Harun.
And there it is. Heh.
Did you find something?
The symbol will definitely lead us to more information. I'll look into it.
I'll buy some cleaning supplies.
We'll clean this place tomorrow, make it smell like daisies.
Don't worry about it.
[Arif] She's not worried about the smell.
I'm grateful we have a place to hang our hats thanks to you.
It was the best I could do on such short notice.
Let's get focused. Okay. Are you ready?
All right. Welcome to our intensive course:
The Rule of Mehmed the Conqueror 101.
Now, Mehmed the Conqueror was the seventh sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
At 21, he conquered Istanbul. Does anyone know what year he died?
I bet it was the 1470s.
- 1481. - That's right.
Okay, is this really necessary?
Hakan, how many times have you gone back to the past and got confused,
didn't know what to do. Am I right?
Yeah, yeah. Guess you're right about that.
Okay then. It took 53 days to conquer Istanbul.
His men laid down wooden planks from Dolmabahçe Palace to Kasımpaşa.
Ships were then pulled across them and into the Golden Horn.
He wanted people of all faiths to live together.
He studied philosophy, history, and mathematics.
And he was also a poet. He wrote under the pseudonym "Avni."
- A pseudonym? - A pen name.
Uh, that's great. But how does that help me at all?
[Arif] I think I found something.
This signature we see on this piece
belongs to the craftsman who made the original design.
During the Ottoman period, all these craftsmen belonged to a guild.
So, may I introduce...
Master Şeker.
One of the most prominent craftsmen during the rule of Mehmed II.
[Hakan] Hmm.
If we can find this piece in the past, we'll find the elixir.
I wish we were at our old place, but...
What are you gonna do? We'll make do with what we have.
Hakan...
I know, Berrin.
We need the elixir.
For Zeynep and Istanbul.
I won't give up on either one of them.
I know you won't. Go and save them, Protector.
[Azim] Harun.
Then... you really went somewhere?
Oh, my God. It's unbelievable.
Lord Almighty! You are the most powerful...
But I need to take notes on this.
Time travel.
- Do you know Master Şeker? - Who?
- Master Şeker. - Master Şeker?
Of course, I do. He's a good man, honest. What do you want him for?
Tell me where I can find him right now.
- [birds squawking] - [Aylin] Ugh, I've had it.
Those stupid birds have been cawing the entire morning.
Sweetie, don't let some silly little birds bother you.
I can't believe that we let all that bullshit stress us out for so long.
Nothing matters.
We do what we want now.
Faysal, won't you come join us out here?
[Zeynep] Faysal?
Rüya?
Faysal.
Where are you?
I'm right here.
You're not.
You're lost.
You're pretending to be strong, but I can see it wearing on you.
You were right.
You were stronger than I was.
I should have done everything the way you wanted it.
[sobbing] Forgive me, oh, please, you have to.
- Shh. - [sobbing]
Faysal...
I know you're going to disappear now. Just a dream.
I don't want you to go.
Faysal?
Now I know why you're sleepwalking through this attack.
- You're distracted by a dead woman. - [sighs]
What's your problem now?
What more do you want from me? Huh? The city is ours.
No one can touch us. What does it take to make you see that?
The key...
Faysal.
I want that key from you.
You're wasting valuable time on silly parties, defectors, and ghosts.
Don't you judge me.
Even if Hakan has the key, we have his dagger. He can't do anything to us.
The key, Faysal.
You will find it, and you will take it from Hakan.
Just like I ordered you to.
[chattering]
- Good morning, akinji. - Hello.
- Are you the jewelry maker, Master Şeker? - Oh.
Yes, I am. Welcome.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm...
looking for a chess set...
with your signature on the bottom.
Like this.
Gold-plated with green patterns on it.
An exceptional, one of a kind set.
Each piece was crafted by the hands of this master.
Hekim Efendi, why did you trouble yourself by coming all this way?
I would have sent the set to you if you'd let me know.
It's a happy coincidence I dropped by.
[Hekim] Hmm.
Nice work, craftsman.
Hekim Efendi!
We've never been introduced.
I admire your set.
Perhaps we can play one day.
Perhaps.
Unless it's a present for someone else.
He was born and raised here.
The master.
The most skilled jewelry maker you'll ever meet.
But he wanted more. He was never satisfied with his lot.
So he opened another jewelry shop elsewhere, somewhere he didn't belong.
Naturally, others were not happy with that.
There was unrest, a lot of fighting.
He lost one of his eyes.
Pity.
You'd do well to stay where you belong.
Remember who you are, akinji.
Stay away from me.
Oh, yes. It is a gift.
For Valeriya.
Is there something I need to know about you?
- No. - All right then. Just remember...
you need to stay away from us.
I'll be on my way.
Asshole.
I killed you once. I'll do it again.
[woman] Pardon me.
Excuse me. Are you okay?
[dramatic music playing]
[grunts]
She's always so obstinate.
Never listens to anyone. Never accepts responsibility for her mistakes.
She lost the dagger.
She's hiding something. I'll find out.
Hakan and I broke up over there.
I can't believe what we used to waste our time on. It seems funny now.
Why did you break up?
A ridiculous prophecy.
Where do you think Hakan is hiding out right now?
- The Grand Bazaar? - [Zeynep] No.
He knows we'd go and look for him there.
- [Aylin] What about the safe house? - We'll never find him like this.
Actually, I might know where he is right now.
Mm.
This cheese in the past is so good, so much better than in the future.
Papa, I'm as hungry as a bear. [groans]
[Hakan] My Şirin, it's coming, my dear.
Here you go.
Ah.
- What have you drawn there? - A picture.
Papa, remember how you once said,
"You and I are very alike, my Şirin?"
Did I say that?
Then you said, "I never had a mother or father,
and your mother left us too soon."
Papa, are you going to you marry her?
What did you say?
You told me to tell you when I decided.
I've thought about it.
And I give you my permission to marry Valeriya.
I'll always miss my mama.
But maybe Valeriya could be my new mother.
She's a good person, and you're not sad anymore.
[chuckles]
That's good to know.
So, go wash your hands, and then come eat your dinner, okay?
So, Harun loves Valeriya that much, huh?
Of course, he does.
And she loves him.
I've thought about what you've told me.
And it doesn't make sense.
Even if the world were to turn upside down, he couldn't hurt Valeriya.
Not the Harun I know.
[Hekim] Wait. Let me guess.
Your mind is three steps ahead. You know my next move.
I do. You know me.
I love playing games, and I love winning them.
[Valeriya laughs]
You're very good.
Every move, every attack.
However...
check...
mate.
Your mind is somewhere else.
You've been taking your time finishing what we have to do.
Are you interrogating me now?
I think you're stalling.
Weren't you the one who killed all those viziers
and placed our men in the government?
Has your relationship with Harun caused a problem?
- How do you know his name? - I asked around.
It wasn't that difficult to find out. The Akinji named Harun.
What pleasure could you get from wasting your time with a human?
What is it to you?
Do you think infiltrating the Ottomans is easy?
When I need to stop, I'll stop.
When I say it's time to go, then we'll go.
You raise your eyebrows when you're angry.
Calm down. I was only making conversation here.
Should we play again?
No, it's late. I need to be going.
Haven't you forgotten something, Hakim Efendi?
This is my trophy.
Win next time, and I'll give it back to you.
I've been waiting for your visit.
But I'm surprised you're so grumpy.
I'll ask one more time.
Where's Hakan and the key?
I don't know.
[Zeynep] Of course, you do.
Of course, I do.
But I don't know why you think I should tell you.
Well, we could kill you.
- Isn't that reason enough? - Oh, you won't do that.
At least not today.
I think she's toying with us.
You're trapped in an illusion, Zeynep.
You're in the wrong place, but you don't know that.
Don't worry. Whatever will be, will be.
[Zeynep] You may be able to guess, maybe even sense it,
but no one can ever know exactly what will happen.
No one can predict the future.
But I think Aylin may disagree.
Perhaps you should ask her about it.
[cell phone ringing]
INCOMING CALL AYLİN
[Faysal sighs]
For the last time,
where is Hakan?
Is this anger inside you because of the truth I told you about Rüya?
Ugh. Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way.
So, you would like me to make a prediction?
Good will always triumph.
All right, that's enough.
That's enough.
The good guys will lose.
She's gonna talk.
[knock on door]
[doors creak]
Harun?
You never visit this late. You surprised me.
Maybe I missed you more than usual.
Come in.
Did you have a guest?
Hekim Efendi was here. He brought me a chess set.
It's beautiful.
Do you know I first fell in love with your hands?
Those hands that held me that wouldn't let me go.
It all started with you.
And it all changed with you.
What changed?
Come, sit.
What if I told you...
that as long as I can remember...
I've been on a journey.
A path I believed in.
That I was devoted to.
But, I...
Ever since you called me "my heart" and I called you "my soul"...
uh, everything has changed.
I'm at a crossroads.
I'm about to give up on one path and go down another.
And I'm afraid of losing everything.
What path are you talking about, Valeriya?
- I don't understand. - Just understand one thing.
I'll always be by your side, no matter what happens to us.
Will you be by my side?
Hmm?
I will be. I will be.
Of course.
Shh. Shh.
Don't... Don't cry.
[sniffles]
- One of the kings missing? - Huh?
Oh, right.
Hekim Efendi took it as a trophy when he won.
Good morning.
[moans]
Now tell us where Hakan is.
He's in the past.
In 1459.
In the what?
Of course, he fucking is!
Argh! Son of a bitch!
- [door slams] - [Oracle] Possibilities, Zeynep.
The Oracle can see all.
And now I see a new one.
Our salvation or our destruction...
it will all end with you.
Or rather, it will all begin with you.
[owl hooting]
[door creaks]
She's distracted by her feelings in a pathetic human.
Faysal.
She doesn't care about the key, the attack, the plan.
What can we do, Hüsrev?
[distant laughter]
What do we need to do to get her back on track?
Up until now, we've always deferred to the Vizier.
We've given her many chances.
However...
she has chosen another path for herself.
There is only one thing left for us to do.
And what is that?
To bid her farewell.
What do you mean, "farewell"?
It's sad...
but the Vizier's leadership is done.
She's betrayed all of the Immortals.
Make an elixir,
and we'll say goodbye to this treachery.
An elixir? For what?
- You want to make her human? - Mm-hmm.
- Impossible. - Hard.
Not impossible.
You've made countless potions in your time.
Now it's time to make your most important elixir.
There is no choice, Hekim Efendi.
You remember what happens if we try to kill our leader, don't you?
Plus, when she drinks the elixir and becomes a human,
she'll have a good story to tell.
And immortal who became a human for her love.
And then she'll fall off a tower or a horse, and that'll kill her.
Or maybe...
Harun could kill her.
I knew it.
Yes, that's a much better idea.
I've won over so many people as Hüsrev, I can control the mind of an akinji.
Get the elixir ready.
Don't mention this to anybody else.
Leave Harun to me.
Use this.
[thud]
[Hakan] I saw it, Nisan.
I saw the whole thing.
It's Vizier.
[scoffs]
The other Immortals have been trying to kill you from the beginning.
And they succeeded.
- They fooled you... - Mm-hmm.
...and they blamed an innocent man for it.
Harun's the one that killed me.
Your ancestor's the one that killed me.
I felt that dagger. I felt it enter my heart.
I saw the hate in Harun's eyes.
Harun loved you.
You know that. He was even thinking of marrying you.
- [laughs] - They must have gotten into his head.
I heard them say they were gonna make Harun kill the Vizier.
Listen to me.
Harun did stab you that day in the Maiden's Tower.
But I know there's a whole lot more to that story. Believe me.
[scoffs]
- Nisan. - Let me go.
There'll be no more secrets. No more.
I'm being totally honest with you.
I was also betrayed by someone I loved and trusted.
You.
So I understand how you feel in all this.
- Let me go. - Listen to me, Nisan.
Your plan for revenge is ruining everyone's life,
and it's based on a lie.
- Faysal and Okhan's fucking lie. - [scoffs]
Okhan was my closest friend.
He gave me the formula, in fact.
I never drank anything that made me a human.
Hakan...
I was betrayed by the man I called "my soul."
So just stop lying to me.
I can prove it.
You cannot make me believe your lies. Stop trying to.
Don't cross my path again.
Hakan!
You will tell me what's in that fucking elixir.
And then we're gonna save Istanbul and end all this together.
[thunder rumbling]
You are without a doubt, the most despicable...
and hateful...
liar I have ever known.
Let go!
