I know for a fact that, sooner or later,
you'll rule not just this market, but the whole of Bithynia.
I too believe that day will come, Amanda.
And I'll take you into my harem.
We won't have to meet in secret anymore.
Now, find me the warrior you praised so highly.
It's time I overcame these obstacles
and get rid of them, one by one.
Including the man I call my brother.
He's a threat to the tribe, sir.
I'm afraid he'll get in your way.
Do as I say.
My plan to win is a massive undertaking, Amanda.
But you'll profit from it like never before.
What do you need?
The women of Kayi will not make it to the bazaar that day.
Let's see who Ertuğrul's wrath is actually going to hurt.
No one can know I was behind this.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
But... what do I get in return?
Come on.
I see you've recovered well, Turgut Alp.
Thanks to God.
As long as I have the help of my friends,
my wounds heal and my heart rests assured.
If your wounds have healed, it's high time you came back.
I'm not coming back.
Until you spill the blood of those cowardly ambushers...
every breath I take is a curse.
There's a right time for everything.
In the past,
if we were ambushed,
the Ertuğrul Bey I knew would kill to avenge us.
But now...
Ertuğrul Bey designates the time for everything.
From now on...
you rule...
and I hunt, Ertuğrul Bey.
Recover quickly.
And come to your senses.
Know that I'll avenge our sons.
Come, Bamsi.
Simon seemed impressed by you, sir. He even paid your debt.
Simon wouldn't shoulder anyone's responsibility.
He must be after something.
Let's wait and see what he does to get his gold back from me.
My father was right. I've got a lot to learn from you, sir.
Thank you.
Don't mention it, Aliyar Bey.
Your brother Ural...
He wasn't pleased.
It's up to you to deal with him.
My brother is unpredictable.
But my father has him under control, don't worry.
I should get back so that I can tell Father.
All right, give him my regards.
Thank you, sir.
Safe travels.
Ertuğrul Bey.
-Greetings. -Greetings.
I'd like to visit your settlement to trade, with your permission.
You are most welcome, Merchant Hasan.
But I doubt our settlement will satisfy you.
I'll be content with whatever, sir.
I want to buy milk, meat, and cheese, not goods.
You are welcome anytime, Hasan.
Thank you, sir. God bless you.
Godspeed.
We must speak now.
Where are you going?
I must find out.
I must.
Ertuğrul will bring his men on the pretext of protecting his women.
Isn't it dangerous for them to be living with us like a cancer, Simon?
I do not believe Ertuğrul is the sultan's spy.
I need him and his men if I'm going to accomplish my mission.
We must gain his trust. We are few in number.
I must pit the Turks, Armenians and Greeks
against each other.
I needed two things to achieve this end, and I got them both.
The passion of Ural and the bravery of Ertuğrul.
If we pit them against each other, our army will have an easier time.
When should I depart, Master Simon?
Head for the island of Lesbos.
As you wish, sir.
Go in good faith, Knight Tristan.
Maria, did we get the news I've been waiting for from Konya?
We're looking forward to the dove, still.
My father taught me to share...
my food with my kin first.
And look what you did.
You can't prosper if you don't share, brother.
Without sharing what you have, you can't make friends or allies.
Did you go to Damascus to learn these fancy words?
You permit our food
to be made a present of to that questionable fellow.
Father prevented the catastrophe you almost caused, brother.
What if Ertuğrul Bey
had found out it was you who killed his Alps?
Through his decisions, our father secured us a brave supporter.
Brother.
Don't you dare hurt us with another mistake.
Pity. Such a pity!
We'll pay for your stupidity together. Are you so blind?
Why do you carry this grudge against Ertuğrul, brother?
Ertuğrul's wormed his way close to us.
Soon, he'll rush our tribe with the few men he has left.
He'll get stronger.
Then he'll rule over this realm. How can you not see this?
If he rightfully deserves it, he shall rule.
May God let us not stray from his just path.
For unity is only possible through justice.
If there is a speck of doubt in that, it'll be the end of us, brother.
The end.
And then you'll have neither a tribe...
nor your traditions left.
KAYI TRIBE
I'm relieved to hear our Alps will provide security...
to our women at the marketplace.
Thank you, Mother.
We scared Simon a bit.
But that's all right.
If you scare your enemy once, you can then win wars without a fight.
When will these games end?
I suspect Simon is John the Baptist, Halime Sultan.
However, until we find out who is behind him, and to what end,
we can't move on.
If Simon is the Crusaders' spy as you say
he'll want to go after Doğan, who he believes is the Sultan's spy.
When he does, we'll do what's necessary.
With respect sir, it feels that there's no end in sight to these games.
They will end, Halime Sultan.
They will end.
The day we establish our own nation,
the day our flag flies over our heads, they will end.
God is merely preparing us for more sophisticated games.
My hope increases the more I see these tricks being played.
How so, sir?
There is nobody between here and Iznik who could stop us.
If we could just get Karacahisar,
we can rush over to Sogut...
and raise our own flag there.
Why in Sogut, sir?
Sogut is the center of everything, Artuk Bey.
He who rules Sogut rules the future.
Our light shall light the darkness of the night.
As long as we don't fall into disarray.
As long as we don't become desperate.
What about Turgut Alp, sir?
He's invaluable to us. He's our commander.
Yet he sides with the enemy.
If he's the man I know he must be playing a game, Artuk Bey.
Or I'd have had his life right there and then.
I can overlook anything, Artuk Bey. But not betrayal.
HANLI BAZAAR
I want you to know that you are not a burden on me, or on my brother.
You stayed by my side for days on end, Maria...
but I have no wish to burden you any longer.
I must leave no later than tomorrow.
Where will you go?
You turned your back on your tribe, you have no one.
Don't worry, I can fend for myself.
I spoke to my brother.
He said you could work for him, if you wanted to.
He needs a good warrior such as yourself.
Maria...
I'm a warrior.
An Alp.
It's all I know.
How could I be of use to a great merchant like Simon?
There are bandits everywhere.
They keep extorting us.
Problems occur when we make collections.
Bandits that have found out we've been collecting raid us.
They steal our gold, murder our men.
So, in short, trade is a war in and of itself, Maria Hatun.
Please stay. I don't want you to get hurt.
I appreciate the sentiment.
I shall stay a while longer.
My brother will be very happy. Let me go tell him.
Good night.
So, this is the doorway to Hell you've been using.
Master Simon, the news you were expecting from Konya has come.
-It's Ebu Nakkas. -What does he say?
He says it's time. He's waiting for you at the usual place.
-What about Turgut? -He agreed to work for you.
Good. You and Philip shall train him.
Tomorrow, he joins the first collection.
-Learn the ropes. -As you wish, Master Simon.
The spy in Konya is Ebu Nakkas.
Who is he? Who?
CAVDAR TRIBE
Thank you, sister.
In the name of God...
Here, my son.
Here, my girl.
Bismillah.
We must win over Ertuğrul Bey...
and become stronger, that's the only way forward for us.
The path to China from Constantinople passes through these lands, Father.
If we rule over these lands
we rule over the gold, and thus, dominate everything.
All we need is stability.
These lands will be free of disorder thanks to you, Father.
You are right.
Only we can provide stability.
However, we must first ensure unity among ourselves.
Much depends on you two.
Don't take your eyes off Ural, or his wife, Çolpan.
Any mistake they make could be disastrous and lead to our destruction.
Don't worry, Father. We'll do whatever is necessary.
-Sir, may I enter? -Come in, Batuhan.
-You called for me, sir? -Tell me, Batuhan.
Is your master Ural Bey up to anything?
You tied his hand and foot, sir. I'm watching him.
When he makes a mistake you know what to do.
I'll tell you first, sir.
Go now.
Batuhan.
If you forget my words...
I'll cut your ears off.
First, he used Batuhan's knife.
Then, he made a deal with Ertuğrul.
Simon is behind all of this.
He's a merchant, sir. His god is gold, his prayers, trade.
-Why would he do it? -I'll find out, Çolpan. I will find out.
Keep your eyes open at the bazaar.
I need to know every step Halime and Aslıhan take.
Don't worry.
They won't take a step in the market without me knowing.
May I enter, sir?
Come in, Batuhan.
You know what to do?
Depart at sunrise.
-Amanda is waiting. -Yes, sir.
What did my father say?
If I ignore his words and not inform on you
he'll cut my ears off, sir.
Batuhan.
You're not afraid of him, are you?
Sir, you took me in when I lost my parents.
You brought me up as a warrior.
I was trained to give my life for you. And I shall die only for you.
I'll not forget your devotion, Batuhan.
Let me see.
Thanks, here.
If you're playing tricks on me, I'll carve your eyes out, Amanda.
There's 100 gold coins inside.
What's this for?
Down payment for what you are about to do.
You'll receive 200 more afterwards.
I'd like to know who I'm serving.
Let's say an influential client. I can't disclose his identity.
If I don't get my money, I'll find you, Amanda.
You know where to find me if you don't get paid.
What do I have to do?
Come with me.
Here is how you get your gold.
I hate Turks.
That's why you were chosen for this.
Welcome, Halime Sultan.
May this be fruitful for all.
Thank you. We too hope everything goes well, Aslıhan Hatun.
They want you to...
kidnap Aslıhan Hatun and Halime Sultan.
Who are they?
Aslıhan Hatun is the daughter of Cavdar Bey.
Halime Sultan is the wife of Ertuğrul, Bey of Kayis.
The niece of Sultan Alaeddin?
The very same.
I hope our partnership proves fruitful.
If the wishes are sincere, the outcome shall prove positive.
-Come in, everyone. -Go on, women.
It's up to you, Francisco.
Find out how many guards there are and which routes they take.
And prevent them from coming to the market tomorrow.
Circle the weaving house.
Don't let anyone in.
Go. Go. Wonderful!
It should be done tomorrow.
-Banu Cicek Hatun. -Yes.
Are you responsible for the weaving house as well?
-Of course, Bamsi Bey. -Praise be.
I have a matter to attend to. Then I'll be back.
Go, get it done. Don't worry about us.
-Right. -Go on.
Bismillah.
The women are ready, Halime Sultan.
Earnest women of Cavdar and Kayi tribes...
From now on, the rugs, our very own work, will reach the whole world.
And if it's blessed, it shall bring us a fortune.
As long as we work together, these looms won't lie idle,
and our tribes will know no hunger.
God willing.
It's time we worked as one, and honestly.
May God honor his name, and bestow us with prosperity.
Amen.
Aslıhan and Çolpan Hatun will deal with any problems you might have.
-Congratulations on our first day here. -Amen.
Get to work now.
Just like her husband, Ertuğrul.
Courage is in their blood, it seems.
And you and your husband keep losing.
The war has just begun, Maria. You don't know the Turks yet.
I heard that you are about to fall for a Turk.
Yes.
I wouldn't believe the things you tell me...
unless I convert.
Welcome.
May I know who our guest is?
I'm Maria, the sister of the owner of this bazaar.
I'd like to invite you brave women who have brought life to this market
over for dinner.
I'd like to welcome you to the market
on behalf of Innkeeper Simon and the other merchants.
Greetings, brother.
Turgut, brother.
You must miss the food of your home.
I brought you food from home.
There is only food for heathens here.
Enough.
Leave me alone.
Brother, what's wrong with you? How long will you keep running?
Brother, I miss fighting with you, back to back.
Riding horse with you until they tremble.
Everything was great when we were still together with our brothers.
When they were still alive and not buried six feet under.
Turgut, brother!
You made a fool out of a Kayis...
in front of this scum.
You deserve a whipping now.
Go away, Bamsi! Go away!
Fight! Fight!
Fight!
Let me go!
-Let me go! You scum! -Enough!
I won't tolerate fighting in my inn, Bamsi.
Turgut works for us now. Stop causing trouble.
Turgut, join the collections with Maria and Philip.
Apparently, Kayis won't leave you alone unless they see that you work for us.
You serve this scum now?
Pity, you were a brave man.
