El Turco (2025) s01e05 Episode Script

1
- Bring them all here
- Yes, sir.
Quickly, quickly
The Turks are
everything you said
The entire village is on defense
They'll make us work for this.
Ready!
Loose!
"Dona Es Requiem"
Today we bury someone who
wasn't a part of our congregation
But he has a place in our hearts
I was there in the final moments
of this servant of God
He was taken so soon
to meet his maker
What that look in his eyes told me
was, do not feel sorry for me
for I am where
I've always wanted to be
Do not worry
I am in God's paradise
Actually, his final words were
I'm done fighting
Now you must fight for me
Would you like to say
a few words for him?
I think Decebal
would have liked it
How do you know what
Decebal would have liked?
Don't blame it on me, Hasan
I haven't done anything
In battle, I am not one
but four lives
and I am responsible
for all four of them
These guys matter to me
more than my own life
I forgot about my brother
I failed to save him
I
I couldn't save him
Because the only person
I wanted to save was you
Angelo
Those were nice words
Care to have some with me?
Of course, my child
- I am always happy to listen
- Not here
What do you think maybe
it's time I make a confession?
When did you last confess
my child?
Never
Let us so begin
with your first sin
They are all the same, Angelo
I have killed people
ever since I was fifteen
I have killed many
And why did you kill, my child?
Because you told me
to kill them
- I
- For as long as I can remember
Allah has commanded me
to kill the infidel
He commanded, I obeyed
How do you know that the
command to kill came from God?
To be truthful
I am not so sure anymore
That little boy, Topo, he could
have been my child, father
That blacksmith of yours
always so angry
I could have been his apprentice
That woman, that courageous
crazy, one-of-a-kind woman
She could have been my woman
But it's not how it is
is it, father?
Because He doesn't just decide
who we kill but also who we love
Have you ever considered that
the voice telling you to love is God
and the other one telling you to kill
could be the voice of Satan?
If that's true, Satan is whispering
to me right now
- Kill!
- Kill? Who?
The heathen
who killed Decebal
- But
- El Turco!
El Turco!
I am not finished with you
El Turco
This
Speak now!
What is it?
You need to see this
I stole this from their camp
Oh, shit!
It's a German cannon
Destroys city walls
fierce motherfucker
What are you saying?
If they bring that cannon here
we are fucked
So what are we gonna do, Hasan?
We'll have to win the war
before then.
The Claw is always five
Five, for God's sake!
Look at us, captain
How many of us are left?
We buried one
And we are going out there on
a battle to take the other one's life.
- I get it
- To hell with you!
You what?
You what?
You don't understand nothing.
In this village, on this remote
mountain forgotten by God
we are fully galloping to a war
Hasan, we are no longer
Ottoman officers, brother
You got exiled
We got dismissed
There is no army behind us
that we can count on
You are my entire family
I
I can't lose you, too
To the absolute ruler
of the lands of Trento
Prince Bishop Francesco di Paolo
from the Dragon of Vienna and
knight of the Holy Roman Empire
your humble servant
Marco Benedetti di Vicenza
your authority here is unshaken
and your subjects are at peace.
I see.
So, bed of roses there
No, it's not
My husband Rudolph
They burned my husband
Your husband is
was the Judge of Moena
They burned him
our forces burned him to death
How they do such a dramatic
gesture I wonder
The witch, Rudolph said
to hand her over
- but then the Turks
- Turks, and witches?
I think it's time to solve this mess
for ourselves
Ready the horses
Tomorrow, we head for Moena
Moena!
Moena, Moena, Moena!
Madam?
Have my carriage
brought up back.
I'm making a surprise visit
- My beloved
- Not today
Today, I am a guiding angel
from the Heavens
So, guiding angel
Did you miss me?
Terribly
But that's not why I am here
Dear daddy
caught wind of things
He is heading here tomorrow
But we barely have enough time
I'll have to speed things up
Sure, you can tell your men
to swing their swords faster
Kill more, die better
But there are other ways
to ensure a victory
What do you have in mind?
Slash, burn and destroy to
your heart's contempt, my beloved
Take your village
And I'll open for us
the gates of Trento
By opening a woman's heart
and getting your witch
You'll be careful
No, no, no
One and two
Oh, my God!
Fabricio?
- Elda, where are you?
- I'm here
Fabricio, bring alcohol
Does he still breathe?
Gloria, please, check his heart rate
Check his heart rate
There
Gloria! Gloria!
This guy has a death wish?
He broke through
our lines alone
Full of holes, he keeps crying out
your name
From the servant and emissary
of God, Princess Diana
Take him out
If this is the last farewell of the
brothers, if we can't make it back
then for the good of everyone
there is one thing left that I can do
What the hell are you guys
aspiring here?
Anything I should know?
I was telling them I intend
to have an audience with Marco
I'm going to go into his camp and
I'm gonna challenge him to a duel
He can't turn me down
in front of his all of his men
You are gonna get yourself killed
Hey, how do you know Marco
won't just order his men to kill you?
- He is going to trap you
- Yes
And I am going to fall
right into it
Hasan
Take this
Close the gate!
Hasan
What are you doing?
Were you lying to me?
Aren't we in love?
Today, I am not
in love with you
Hasan!
Hasan, come on!
I am Hasan Balaban
The only son of Berzan
of the order of Green Sashes
The bearer of Harput Sanjak
Commander of the second
Janissary division
of the Ottoman Army
I've come here to reclaim
my honor from you
Don't talk to me
about honor, Hasan
You brother-killer
To hell with
your brotherhood
That brother I killed
saved me from you
He let me go and then
he lied to you about it for years
You see what you fail
to understand, Hasan
is that you are the villain
in this story
How can you say that?
We called the same man father
I already had a father
and the man you called father
kidnapped me
We fought together but you
were always the real enemy
My father called me
a traitor, Mete
My men spat in my face
They kicked me out
like a sick dog
I know
You had to live
among enemies
No country, no home
no family, no honor
It's a terrible thing
Now do you understand
Hasan Balaban
the heroic son
of the Bey of Harput?
Now, do you finally understand
what it is like to be me?
We are Claw!
We never shrink
from a righteous battle
I, Janissary Ottoman
Hasan Balaban
challenge knight of Trento
Marco Benedetti di Vicenza
to a duel, for our honor
You and I will battle to the death
Are you now an honorable knight
like you said?
Or are you still that little frightened
too-faced dishonorable boy?
Sunset!
By the marsh
One on one
to the death!
Before sundown, I'll bring you
his head, Little Wolf
You better
Bring me that tattoo
of his chest
Life here has taught you
how to fight like a man
But darling, those men
They are the ones
who start wars
And it's left to us to bring peace
Are you serious?
Your murderous pack of wolves
is attacking the town as we speak
First, let's turn down
the hostility, shall we?
First, let's get rid of the poisonous
snake in the backyard
This might be your backyard my
dear, but the entire country is mine
We won't get anywhere like this
You and I, we can
stop this bloodshed
How?
The Turks, witches
even this village
we don't give a rat's ass
about any of it
All that matters, is returning
in triumph to Trento
and you can give us that
How?
By fighting for you?
Such an amusing girl
But I've got a better idea
I'll take you Trento
and say we caught a witch
And we'll put you on trial
I promise to hold your hand
at the tripe, you know?
Together we laugh at the ones
who call you a witch
And then?
And then, the Prince
and his lovely daughter
will ride into your village
like true heroes
There will be no war
the village will be saved
and everyone will live
happily ever after
All you have to do
is to come with me, Gloria
The decision is yours
but I suggest you hurry
I am thinking there are people
there you love
Preparations, huh?
For you, little wolf
I will hunt one last time
It becomes you
Sir, milady has arrived
She's waiting for you
Can you hear that noise
Little Wolf?
The forest is calling
to the monster
May God's blessings
be upon you
May God's blessings
be upon you
Amen
What's happening?
Fuck!
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
Those are some big
fucking cannons
- I have to go
- This is it, huh?
Ring the bells
Into the church
Come on, move
Hurry, hurry!
Fuck!
I will rip off your tattoo
and bring it to Marco!
- Marco, we need to leave
- I am waiting for Skeletwolf
He is a grown man
he can take care of himself
We have a more urgent matter
My father, if he comes
it's all over
I am glad it's him, not you
Now, go, go
go and claim my prize
Brother, I hope you find peace
where you go at last
Inshallah
Let's go!
Father! Take anyone
who wishes to the Church
This is the end
get to the church
And you'll be doing what?
Today, I'll be
the witch of Moena
I'll be the Turkish barbarian
Whoever those demons say are
foe, that's who I'll be, facing them
There is no way in hell
I am going back
- My girl
- Gloria?
You think she left?
She'll be fine, won't she?
Get ready!
Fire!
You can go to hell!
Elda!
Elda!
Elda!
Elda!
Do you hear that, Skeletwolf?
- The forest is calling you!
- You are too late!
I need the best warriors to win this
Do I have them?
Try to catch up!
- Attack, Moena!
- We'll be late.
Fight for your home!
This is their victory, brother
Victory is theirs
Gloria!
"Today, at the edge of the village
a violet blossomed"
"A single flower defying winter"
"And I decided to love you
like that flower"
"For you, I am going to go
and defy an entire city"
Gloria, no!
"Don't worry, I don't believe
a word they are saying"
"I made a plan of my own"
"I'll tell you all about it
in my letter"
"But first, I have to tell you why"
"I know you men love fighting
winning, being heroes"
"but winning this battle won't be
the end of this war"
"Wars will keep on coming"
"Metes will keep turning
into Marcos"
"And all you great heroes
will have nameless tombstones"
"If you keep fighting
Topos will keep dying"
"You want the war to end
it has to be done by a woman"
"Like years and years ago
when a woman wasn't afraid"
"to leap into the fire"
"All I ask from you
come to me, my love"
"Come and free me"
"Come and be with me"
"I'll be waiting for you
in a bed of flames"
"Because, today, my love
and for the rest of my days"
"in this life and all the others
I am forever in love with you"
