Dialog

Mehmed II By the will of Allah, these walls shall crumble before us! Let the Janissaries advance—the city is ours for the taking!

Janissary Commander At once, Sultan! Forward, brothers! Show no mercy to the infidels!

Constantine XI Palaiologos Stand firm, my brothers! For God and for Rome, we shall not yield this day!

Mehmed II Constantine, your defiance is admirable, but futile. Surrender now, and I shall spare your people.

Constantine XI Palaiologos I would rather die a free man than live as your subject, Mehmed. The city may fall, but our spirit shall endure.

Janissary Commander The gate is breached! Press the attack! Leave none standing!

Mehmed II Let history remember this day—Constantinople is now Istanbul, and the Ottoman Empire rises from its ashes!
