(00:01:55:14)
SÜLEYMAN (OFF) Hızır? Son? (ON) What happened? What is it?
(00:02:10:15)
HIZIR (OFF) Master, what is this? The guy who left your store (ON) gave this to me.
What’s this? Told me a story.
SÜLEYMAN Which man are you talking about?
HIZIR Master, the one you gave the box to.
SÜLEYMAN What box? You’re confused. (OFF) No such man came to my store.
(00:02:36:17)
HIZIR You’re not gonna, tell me anything about this ring or that man, right Master?
SÜLEYMAN (OFF) I’d tell you (ON) if I had anything to tell, son. I won’t temper with a lock that I
don’t have the key to.
HIZIR Okay. But I’ll open the lock, Master. (OFF) Don’t you worry. (ON) The key will
eventually turn up. Stay with peace.
(00:03:08:19)
SÜLEYMAN You are, the key, dear son. When you solve this, all secrets will be solved.
(00:03:26:05)
DESPINA (OFF) My Oruç.
ORUÇ (soft grunting sigh) Despina?. Another expedition awaits, you know that right?
(OFF) Will you manage alone?
DESPINA Didn’t you say if you do this we’ll get to have our (OFF) own ship?
ORUÇ ‘Course I did, but…
(00:03:47:20)
DESPINA When we have our own ship, we won’t need that Isabel (OFF) and her nasty
business. (ON) Both I, and our child wish this with our hearts. (OFF) (soft sigh) Don’t
worry about us, Oruç. (ON) May you do what you have to do in safety. Come back
to your home as a free man.
 BARBAROSLAR (09) 2

(00:04:09:23)
ORUÇ My Despina.
DESPINA My Oruç.
ORUÇ (OFF) (deep sigh)
(00:04:30:03)
WALLA (Isabel’s inn. Patrons drinking, gambling, chatting and merrymaking)
(00:04:43:00)
ISABEL (softly) Irina! You’re in charge.
(00:05:02:13)
ISABEL (OFF) Oruç, look. (ON) Please don’t take this, thing about jobs too seriously. Just
give me a little time. (OFF) I’ll take care of everything.
ORUÇ (OFF) Don’t worry. I’m not here to cause trouble. (ON) (sighing the sentence)
There’s another matter. (OFF) I have a question for you. (ON) An important one.
(00:05:27:04)
ISABEL I’m listening, Oruç.
ORUÇ Who were given ships from Unita’s account lately?
ISABEL I don’t get it.
ORUÇ There’s a job. It’s crucial for handling it. (OFF) Answer me.
ISABEL The ship that Mamluk ambassador rented. It was for you (OFF) right?. (scoffs) (ON)
(speaks Italian) Dio mio! (My God!) I guessed it!
(00:05:47:12)
ORUÇ Will you help me or not?
ISABEL Okay. Okay. Three ships rented. I rented out two of them. (OFF) Ordinary traders.
(ON) Dad rented out the other. But I don’t know to whom.
ORUÇ Is there a way to find that out?
(00:06:08:03)
ISABEL I’ll do it for you.. Don’t get me wrong. I’ll do this because I think father’s attitude
towards you is wrong.
ORUÇ Thanks.
(00:06:29:18)
ISABEL (sighs)
(00:06:38:03)
PIETRO How much more to the rendezvous point?
PIETRO MAN 1 We’ll be there tomorrow night.
PIETRO We’ll pick (OFF) up the engineer Abu Muhammed and (ON) continue on our way.
We’ll stop at no ports. (OFF) We have to reach Rome as soon as possible. (ON)
Prepare accordingly.
(00:07:07:16)
WALLA (pirate crew chatting among themselves during chowder time)
(00:07:12:09)
THEO (OFF) Here, eat this. I wouldn’t want my precious captive to starve to death.
ABU MUHAMMED Look at the sea of stars. So beautiful, isn’t it?
 BARBAROSLAR (09) 3

THEO Abu Muhammed, you’re not trustworthy. How do I know you won’t slit my throat
when I do as you say and (OFF) look up at the stars?
ABU MUHAMMED You can never know, (OFF) what secrets those stars kept all this time. (ON) How
many murders, how many betrayals?
(00:07:36:05)
THEO (OFF) I can’t wait for (ON) them to pick you up and be rid of you. That will make me
happier more happy than the (OFF) gold I’ll get in return.
ABU MUHAMMED Tell me, how many (OFF) gold pieces are on my head? (ON) One can’t always get
the chance to learn his worth, bone and flesh and all. Huh? (chuckles) Tell me how
much?
(00:08:21:06)
ISABEL (V/O) (ECHO) One Eyed Theo. Why did my father rent out our ship to a vicious
scallywag? What else are you hiding from me, dad?
(00:08:42:09)
ISABEL (gasps)
(00:08:44:23)
ISABEL DAD (OFF) (from the other room) Gabriel?. (ON) Gabriel?. Oh, you’re here? Looking for
something?
ISABEL Well, I’m out of ink, dad. (OFF) I checked if you had some here.
ISABEL DAD Hmm. Good.
ISABEL Good night, daddy. Let me leave you alone. I think you want to work.
(00:09:11:10)
ISABEL DAD My dear girl.. What about the ink?
ISABEL (sighs) Oh. I forgot, daddy. (OFF) Thanks for reminding me.
ISABEL DAD Go on.. My dear?. (ON) Send Gabriel upstairs will you?
ISABEL (sigh of relief) Of course, dad. Good night.
(00:10:10:11)
ISABEL One Eyed Theo rented the ship. He shakes down all the fishermen who live on the
small islands in this region. He does jobs for others. For money. (OFF) Oruç, (ON)
you have to be careful against those men. (OFF) That cruel man rather enjoys, (ON)
oppressing the poor islanders and taking the meager income they have.
İLYAS Whoa! He’s cruel, eh?
(00:10:34:15)
ORUÇ You? (OFF) You okay?
ISABEL I am. I am. Everyone fights the monsters in their own (OFF) world, Oruç.. (ON) Be
back safely, okay? Godspeed to you.
(00:11:30:23)
HEALER (OFF) The keepers (ON) of the gates of death. Open thy gates. Allow that soul to
come back to the world.
(00:11:59:10)
İLYAS (OFF) Ağa Captain. (ON) Isabel did us a great favor.
ORUÇ Yes it was a great sacrifice.. Without her, we wouldn’t have set our course this
easily.
 BARBAROSLAR (09) 4

İLYAS I hope she doesn’t get in trouble for this.

ORUÇ Don’t worry. Do we ever abandon those who help us, İlyas?
(00:12:29:10)
İLYAS Oh, Ağa Captain, we’re steadily sailing towards him, but this One Eyed Theo. He’s
on a job. We can’t find the vulture on an island.
ORUÇ Hayrabay told us that he found severed fingers on Abu Muhammed’s boat. If you
were a pirate captain, would you take a man with severed fingers?
İLYAS Would not.
(00:12:57:04)
ORUÇ What if you trusted him and shared everything with him? What then?
İLYAS Send him ashore. To rest and heal up. So? What’s the plan? (OFF) Counting
everyone’s fingers on the island to check for missing ones?
ORUÇ (soft chuckle) Nope. We’ll find the man who would heal him. (OFF) Scarred.
(00:13:25:18)
HASAN Yes, Capn?
ORUÇ How many scars you’ve got?
HASAN Praise Allah, 34, Capn’.
ORUÇ I see. What if you got one more?
HASAN Well it would be the most meaningful of them all, Capn’
ORUÇ (OFF) Thank you. Now off to the healer.
(00:14:09:10)
NIKO (OFF) That was the last one.
İSHAK Niko, take these. (OFF) Go to the docks, get some fresh fish. Sea bream’s in season.
I fancy some.
NIKO Kippers should be fresh too. Should I get some?
İSHAK (OFF) Yeah, do so.
(00:14:21:06)
HIZIR I’m coming with.
İSHAK Hızır, you stay.. (OFF) Come, sit down. (ON) I have things to talk with you.. (OFF) I
know you don’t mean ill. (ON) But you should know this: this thing about Yorgo, is
not only Antoine’s word or a (OFF) suspicion anymore.
HIZIR Did he confess?
İSHAK (OFF) To everything. (ON) One by one. He told me how he held a grudge for our
family since our late (OFF) father’s day. His problem was not with Oruç only. (ON)
He would have paid for what he’s said and done, but a moment of distraction got
the best of me.
(00:15:14:03)
HIZIR So what now, Ağa? What will Oruç do when he (OFF) hears this?
(00:15:27:16)
İSHAK I had a family too, Hızır. I had children. (OFF) But they are no more. (ON) Is their
blood, less precious than Despina’s feelings?
(00:15:59:02)
ZEYNEP Hamza. You’re not tired, right?
 BARBAROSLAR (09) 5

HAMZA I’m fine, Mother Zeynep. I’m not tired. Let’s find Süleyman the book seller quickly.
ZEYNEP (under her breath) Okay. But first let’s ask the vendors. Besides I have other
acquaintances in Lesvos. Maybe it’s better to talk with them first. (OFF) Let’s ask
around. (ON) See if he’s trustworthy. Okay?. (OFF) Come.
(00:16:30:02)
FISHMONGER (OFF) Whoa, Niko! Welcome. Welcome.
NIKO Hello.. Half an oke of kippers. And don’t be stingy okay?
FISHMONGER You got a basket? (OFF) Where do I put the fish?
NIKO I’m sure you have spare baskets or whatnot. Put some salt in if you have it so that it
stays fresh.
ZEYNEP (OFF) (overlapping) (in the background) Good day to you. Do you know Hızır?
VENDOR (overlapping) (in the background) You see that young man over there? There. He’s
Hızır’s best friend. Ask him.
FISHMONGER (overlapping) For Christ’s sake, Niko. Will be a cold day in hell before you come
prepared! What do you do with all the baskets I give you?
ZEYNEP (overlapping) (in the background) That man there?
FISHMONGER (overlapping) (overlapping)
(00:16:56:09)
NIKO (discreetly) I put roses in and leave them at girls’ gardens.
FISHMONGER They smell like fish!
NIKO So what? All girls smell like fish in Lesvos! (OFF) Besides, I’m not forcing anyone to
like me.
(00:17:08:11)
ZEYNEP I’m (OFF) told you are Hızır’s friend. Is that true?
NIKO Who are you? (chuckling) How do you know Hızır?
ZEYNEP We met under rather adventurous circumstances. (OFF) But could we tell the story
later? We had a long journey (ON) here. From Alexandria.
NIKO From Alexandria?. What’s up?
(00:17:31:22)
ZEYNEP There’s a new adventure brewing. I thought it wouldn’t be fun without Hızır.
NIKO You thought right. If there’s an adventure, one of Yakup Ağa’s sons should be in it.
(OFF) Is my order ready?
FISHMONGER Yes, yes.
NIKO Come with me. Let me take you to Hızır.
FISHMONGER Niko?
NIKO Later, later.
(00:17:57:08)
İSHAK This should stay between us for now. We won’t worry about what anyone would
think if no one (OFF) else knows.
(00:18:14:07)
NIKO You have a guest, (OFF) Hızır.
HIZIR You. What are you doing here?
ZEYNEP I’ll explain. I’ll explain everything. But first you have to help me.
 BARBAROSLAR (09) 6

(00:18:29:02)
HIZIR Come. Come and sit.
İSHAK (overlapping) Yes, do sit, lassie. (OFF) Here. Do sit.
ZEYNEP (OFF) Thank you. Come here, boy.
(00:18:40:11)
İSHAK (OFF) Niko, prepare something for our guests.
NIKO Yes, Ağa.
(00:18:48:03)
ZEYNEP Hamza. (OFF) He’s one of the children living with us whom (ON) I mentioned to you
before.
(00:19:18:19)
ORUÇ (OFF) He got wounded during plunder. The enemy crew (ON) proved strong. We
saved him at the last moment. As we thought about what to do with him, we
remembered we heard your reputation. (OFF) They say you heal wounds. Then we
ended up here. Whaddya say? Can you (ON) heal him?
HEALER Don’t worry. That (OFF) wound is not dangerous. The ointment I’m mixing will heal
it in two days.. Do not touch that door!
(00:19:53:24)
ORUÇ What’s up? What’s behind the door?
HEALER Various plants I use to (ON) treat the wounded and my personal belongings. (OFF)
Nothing of interest to you. They get spoiled if they’re exposed to light. Don’t open
it.
(00:20:22:17)
HEALER Your intentions seem ill! You’re all touchy-looky since you came in! Besides this
scar looks rather fresh! (OFF) No salt touched it. It’s like he cut himself. (ON) Get
out of here!
ORUÇ You’re hiding something behind that door.
(00:20:45:06)
SAILOR 1 (OFF) Hey, Severed (ON) Hand! You’re building a reputation around here just like
One Eyed Theo!
PIRATE 1 Don’t make fun of me! (OFF) I haven’t slept all night. (ON) Incompetent woman.
(OFF) Something she put in the ointment made my hand sting all night. (ON) I’m
here to have it checked again.
(00:21:04:11)
ORUÇ Open it.
(00:21:09:13)
CANNONEER Severed Hand!
ORUÇ He’s our (OFF) guy! Come on, İlyas!

(00:24:36:17)
PIRATE 1 Why do I always have bad luck? Where’s the other oar?
ORUÇ (OFF) Looking for this?
(00:24:57:04)
ORUÇ I like runners. Because runners fear death. (OFF) And you like living. (ON) So you’ll
speak soon. We’ll get along well. Nightingale, Musa, find İlyas fast. (ON) Let’s get
out of here.. Carry the poor man, he cannot walk.
(00:25:27:00)
BIRDMAN Excuse me for asking but, (ON) how did you plan to row with this hand, mate?

YOUNG PIETRO (sniffs and sighs in appreciation)

(00:26:43:24)
PIETRO (sighing the sentence) This doesn’t taste like those days.
(00:27:24:15)
ISABEL DAD Isabel?. My beautiful girl? You’re deep in thought.
ISABEL Thinking about work, dad. Won’t you sit?
ISABEL DAD Oh, no, no. I won’t. I won’t. I’ll took a little walk. You know my leg. Is everything
okay? (OFF) Is there a problem?
ISABEL No, dad. Everything’s okay.
(00:27:51:18)
ISABEL DAD Hmm. Oruç’s not around.
ISABEL We’re not hiring them these days. They don’t hang around.
ISABEL DAD Hmm. You didn’t see him?
ISABEL No, dad. I can send word if you like.
ISABEL DAD No need. No need. No. So see you at home then.
(00:28:14:15)
ISABEL I’ll balance the books then, come home.
ISABEL DAD (with a soft chuckle) Hmm. (chuckles) (OFF) My beautiful daughter.. Gabriel.
(00:28:45:06)
PIRATE 1 (whimpering) My lungs (ON) are in my mouth now! Told you everything I know!
(OFF) Won’t you take me down?
(00:28:59:14)
BIRDMAN When (OFF) your blood flew through your head and not your hand, your bleeding
stopped, eh? (ON) Instead of saying, “good healers, let me kiss your graceful
hands,” (OFF) you keep complaining, eh?
(00:29:14:03)
İLYAS (OFF) We hung you in the day, (ON) to make you talk. And this time, to confirm
what you have said. (OFF) You know. On the off chance that you pulled a trick and
lied to us, played games with us. We thought you’d learn your lesson.
(00:29:32:09)
ORUÇ Those men contacted you through other people, is that right?
PIRATE 1 Right. (panicked panting) We never see the one who gives the orders. Only this
time they told us to hand the prisoner over to the men.
CANNONEER That Abu Muhammed must be a rather (OFF) precious man indeed.
(00:29:48:03)
ORUÇ So no one knows the faces of the receivers.
PIRATE 1 No.
ORUÇ Well then. Our heading is obvious. We’ll try our luck.. (OFF) Birdman? (ON) Did you
get the garments?
BIRDMAN Of course I did, Baba Oruç. However, after our clipped friend sang to us, (OFF) the
island we docked was rather small. (ON) I mean I got whatever I could find at the
inn.
ORUÇ Okay then.
 BARBAROSLAR (09) 9

(00:30:28:15)
ISABEL DAD Cafer? You want to get rid of Oruç for good, right?
CAFER (chuckling) Of course, sir. My greatest desire.
ISABEL DAD So I will, hand him in a gold platter to you. If you get on the move now, you won’t
have an Oruç problem anymore.
(00:30:57:24)
ORUÇ You look nice, İlyas.
CANNONEER (OFF) Baba Oruç! I suffered through everything for you (ON) but this is too much!
I’d wrap myself in a grave shroud instead!
BIRDMAN Oh, İskender, do you know how hard it was to get these clothes?
CANNONEER You did me dirty, Birdman! Warrior’s (OFF) garments for the captains, even though
they’re Christian clothes. (ON) And I have the priest robes!
(00:31:16:19)
BIRDMAN (OFF) Cannoneer, sir. (ON) İskender Ağa. I told you a thousand times, it was a small
inn. There were two knights and I got those. I’d get it if there was a third. See? I got
myself the same. You see?

like that?
(00:33:17:24)
ZEYNEP Should we have gone to see Master Süleyman too?
İSHAK Hızır did the right thing, rest assured, lassie. In the end, dropping the letter at the
docks might have brought the danger here.
(00:33:40:07)
ZEYNEP Now when your grief is so new. We brought new grief to you.
İSHAK Those who (OFF) take children’s fathers from them, (ON) those who, take children
from their fathers. When they work hard to spew their cruelty, I’m not one to be
burdened by guests (OFF) I entertain. (ON) Prepare some food (OFF) for Hamza,
Niko. Obviously he’s hungry.. Maybe, (ON) we’ll eat too. Right, Zeynep, my lass?
(00:34:26:09)
ZEYNEP (OFF) Come. Come here, dear. (ON) (softly) My lamb. Look at the little horse. Huh?

(00:34:49:02)
SÜLEYMAN So, Eyyüp’s gone too. The Sentries of the Secret, put forth their lives to protect the
secret. One by one.
HIZIR (sharp inhale then exhales as he talks) Well, it’s a secret. One would die for it if
need be. (OFF) You’ll keep it from those closest to you if need be. Right, Master?
SÜLEYMAN Son.
HIZIR Anyways. It’s neither the time nor the place to argue about this. The key’s on the
kid’s neck. We need to hide it and the one I got from Shehzadeh Murat somewhere
safe. (OFF) They might know Zeynep and Hamza came here. (ON) Let’s take
measures before (OFF) danger arises.
(00:35:28:23)
SÜLEYMAN The keys are at the safest places already, son. (OFF) Don’t you worry.
HIZIR Master, I’m saying they can raid us any moment.
SÜLEYMAN I’m at ease as a man who completed his duty. Your duty (OFF) is just beginning.
HIZIR My duty is to save all of our lives tonight. We’re leaving.
(00:35:49:06)
SÜLEYMAN (OFF) Get the kid (ON) and the girl away from the island. I’ll stay here and stall
them.
HIZIR Master, come on. I can’t allow that. Master. Aren’t you the Keeper of the Book?
Whaddya mean your duty’s done?
(00:36:04:07)
SÜLEYMAN The book and the secret found their owners. Worry not. Go to the kid and the girl.
Go on!
(00:36:38:11)
RADKO Tonight we’ll only take Süleyman the book keeper alive. Other than him, we’ll
destroy anyone who stands before us!
(00:36:52:13)
DIEGO We’re about to reach the rendezvous cliffs.
PIETRO Good. Very soon we’ll see (sighing) Rome, Our Holy (OFF) Father and my home, Te
Nempo! (ON) We’ll get this small thing done and be on our way.
DIEGO Any need for battle gear?
PIETRO The man we’ll deal with is a lowly pirate, Diego. If he’s foolish enough to play
games, we’ll destroy him. Besides, I won’t prepare against pirates and make them

heart.
(00:44:31:14)

HIZIR Master, are you mad? I’m saying they might attack and kill you, yet you complain
about that!
SÜLEYMAN (scoffs softly) Bah!

ZEYNEP He’s exhausted after the long journey. He never spoke after his father was killed.
We didn’t even know his name. He first spoke on the ship, you know?
İSHAK Well. When one starts to pay his debts to the departed, both the tongue and heart
lets go.. (OFF) Look. Just a small child. He came all the way (ON) here from far
away. To pay his debt to his father. (sighs) I wish I could too. Maybe I’d be free of
my chains then.
(00:46:30:07)
NIKO İshak Ağa.. (whispering) Hızır’s back.
İSHAK Let’s sit in the yard.
(00:46:59:14)

end.
SOOTHSAYER You shouldn’t trust Birdman’s calculation, (OFF) Musket Ağa!
HASAN (OFF) Well! (ON) You think he’s totally ignorant, just because he jokes around.

(00:48:34:07)
MUSKET (effort grunts)
(00:48:37:00)

ORUÇ We’ll give the ship back (OFF) to Unita.. (ON) Nightingale? (OFF) Is everything

(00:49:10:00)
ISABEL So, you tried to reach me this way? (cries softly) (sniffles) You put in cries for help
in between each line but, no one heard your cries. (sniffles). (sighs) But sister, I’m
going to save you. And I’ll make those who took you from me pay for it. May he be
my Father. May it be Unita. Everyone’s going to pay for this!

(00:51:08:07)
HIZIR It’s not the time, İshak Ağa.
İSHAK I’m fed up with the shady business around me. It’s exactly the time!.. Who are you?
RADKO Your death.

ŞAHİN (OFF) Baba Oruç. (ON) On Bahri Sefid, they call those who save their ship a captain.
