My God,
you giveth and you taketh.
Do not take my child.
Do not test me with the grief of losing a child.
Amen.
Dündar...
You will lead the tribe while I am gone.
-If something happens to me-- -Brother...
God forbid, brother.
What would we do without you?
Dündar Bey, son of Suleyman Shah.
A bey is never afraid.
He protects his tribe, no matter what.
If something happens to me, responsibility falls to you.
Don't worry about us, brother.
If Suleyman Shah was alive...
he would be very proud of you both.
Go to it. We have work to do.
We have striven to make things better and now this malice...
We are being tested, Ertuğrul Bey.
We can rest when we die, Candar Bey.
We can find a way.
You must have a plan, Ertuğrul Bey.
Let us join you in it.
Such a treacherous man would do anything for gold, Aliyar Bey.
He wants me to come alone.
Otherwise, our women will be at risk.
You must have some idea of their whereabouts, Bey.
Let us go there ahead of you and hide. They won't see us.
It's too dangerous, Aliyar Bey.
I met them at Akkozak Road. I don't know where their hideout is.
They'll post lookouts everywhere before I get there.
If we knew where they were holding the women, then maybe...
We can't stand by and do nothing, Bey. I'll go to the bazaar tomorrow morning.
I'll ask everyone who this bastard is and where he might be hiding.
For your woman, for my daughter, you risked your life, Ertuğrul Bey.
I will not forget this favor.
Thank you, Candar Bey.
I have the gold, Bey.
I'll take my leave, Ertuğrul Bey.
May God help you, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you, Candar Bey.
Why is Ural absent?
What is he doing in Konya?
We have to learn the answers to these questions, Dündar.
Magnificent.
Brother. Greetings.
-Greetings, brother. -Greetings, brothers.
You look good, brother.
Recover quickly, brother.
You have cheated death, thank God.
Recover quickly, brother. May God heal you soon.
Thank you, brothers.
How is your wound, Samsa?
My wound is fine, brother. But...
I am disappointed I didn't fulfil my duty.
Hey... Why the long faces?
When did we ever leave our duty unfulfilled?
That's not our only concern, Bamsi.
Halime Sultan and Aslıhan Hatun are at the mercy of a bandit.
I understood you well, brothers.
Just... Just hear me out, brothers. Listen to me.
Brothers,
once upon a time, there was a tiger which kept attacking the Turk tribes.
It attacked every herd, killed every shepherd.
People were thinking "What are we going to do?"
Then Khan heard of the situation.
Khan. Khan was bursting with anger.
He said, "When my people are suffering attacks by this tiger,
how can I still call myself a Khan?"
He sent 20 Alps along with his best man to the nomad camping side.
Khan also had a son.
He went to his father and said, "Father, let me go there too.
Let me go, so I can show the world that I am a worthy son,
Father."
Brothers, Khan's son was strong. But he was also very young.
His father said, "Son, I know you are excited,
but your time has not come yet."
Unwillingly, his son had to accept that.
Brothers, while Khan's 20 Alps and his best man were searching for the tiger,
they suddenly heard a great roar!
Before they even saw it, the tiger had torn the 20 Alps to pieces!
And when the tiger was about to kill Khan's best man too...
Khan's son appeared and throttled the tiger with his bare hands!
That mighty tiger, brothers,
died at the hands of that brave man!
So, brothers, from that day on,
that brave man went by the name of Tunga.
This is the story of our ancestor, Er Tunga Alp.
Brothers. Our ancestors were wolves!
Our Bey is just like his ancestor Alp Er Tunga,
ready to stand against the whole world!
Brothers, even though times have changed,
even though years have passed,
that blood is the same blood, brothers!
Family is the same family, brothers!
We have known lots of brave men, brothers, and have many legends.
Now is the time for Ertuğrul Bey to write his own legend.
May God strengthen Ertuğrul Bey.
-Amen! -Amen!
May God give him and we Alps many more victories!
-Amen. -Amen.
Amen.
Brothers...
Brothers, I hope one day...
people will tell the legend of Ertuğrul Bey.
Amen.
-Amen. -Amen.
Amen, brothers. Amen.
Ertuğrul is a very dangerous man.
And he is not stupid.
He'll come alone tomorrow, as I said.
But we'll take precautions anyway.
You, take four men with you and wait for Ertuğrul at Akkozak.
The rest will hide.
If he doesn't come alone, kill them all.
And kill the women, too.
The enemies within...
and the enemies without did not allow us a single moment of peace, Aslıhan.
First, my father...
then my brother...
and now my Gündüz.
I still remember the day I told Ertuğrul I was pregnant as if it was yesterday.
I'm pregnant, Ertuğrul.
We will have a baby.
Praise God!
The blue sky and the dark ground, witness me!
I will be a father!
Keep calm, it's too soon for this!
How can I be calm, my darling?
Our whole tribe has been looking forward to this news.
Gündüz will have a sibling, Bey.
I'm pregnant. We will have another child, God willing.
Praise God!
They say fate will protect a man from his death.
If God allows it, you will meet Gündüz again.
God willing, Aslıhan Hatun.
God willing.
We couldn't hear what they were saying.
But it's obvious they did this together.
Just as I guessed. Ural was behind this, too.
So, Ural has been using Amanda to spy on us.
I'll make her pay for this.
There is going to be a lot of bloodshed.
When Ertuğrul learns what's happened, he'll do anything to kill Ural.
He will not let the killer of his wife and son live.
Nor will Candar allow it.
When we give Amanda to Ertuğrul Bey, the rest will be easy.
What if Amanda refuses to tell Ertuğrul what she knows?
We will do what is necessary. Right, Maria?
I can make her sing like a bird, Master Simon.
Petrus, keep an eye on Amanda's stall.
Ural is bound to go there in order to find out what's happening.
We can trust Turgut.
I saw it today with my own eyes.
I will use him when war breaks out between the tribes.
Don't push him. Do you understand?
Yes, Master Simon.
My God, please protect my bey, my tribe...
and all the people I love.
Do not take Gündüz from us.
Allow the safe return of Halime Sultan.
Do not test us through our loved ones anymore, God.
God, bless the souls of my Alps, may they rest in peace.
Help me see the day I take my revenge on the traitors who killed my Alps.
God, do not take my life before I avenge them.
Amen.
Although we worship differently,
our prayers are the same, Turgut.
I hope God will answer all of your prayers.
Thank you, Maria.
I am waiting for the day He does.
My only aim in life...
is to take my revenge...
so that I may start breathing with peace again.
I live only for this.
I am keenly awaiting that day too.
When you are able to ease your suffering and be happy again...
that day, I will be happy, too.
You should have a better reunion than this.
Our real reunion will be the day our tribe finds peace.
You are right, Doğan.
We cannot be happy when our tribe is in misery.
May I come in?
Sit tight, brother.
You have a lot to talk about. Excuse me.
I said some terrible things to you...
but it was only because I was so worried about Doğan.
Please forgive me.
Thank you for risking your life when they attacked.
We cannot thank you enough.
Bey,
Karacahisar Castle is okay now. I know its every detail:
how many entrances it has, how many exits it has,
where the guards stand, I know everything.
They are in my pocket, and in my mind.
You have discovered so much for us.
Such information will be crucial at the time of conquest, Doğan.
Now, get well soon. That day has not yet come.
I wish we could come with you, Bey.
Yes, Bey. We can't stand to see you go alone.
God is with us, brothers.
-Give me your blessing. -I give you my blessing, Bey.
Brother...
-Don't be scared. It's me. -Ural Bey!
I wanted to talk to you inside because I don't want anybody to see me.
Are you okay? What's happening?
Did Francisco come?
Yes, he did. He kidnapped Aslıhan and Halime, just like you said.
And he gave your message to Ertuğrul Bey.
He said, "If you don't bring 1,000 gold coins, I will kill them both."
Good.
Ertuğrul doesn't have that sort of money,
so he'll either go with his Alps and fight,
or my father will give him the 1,000 gold coins.
It doesn't matter which. He'll still fall into Francisco's trap.
Francisco's men are strong fighters who've fought with the Crusader Army.
Ertuğrul will die there.
-However, we have a problem, Bey. -What is it?
Francisco broke the agreement. He wants double the amount.
Did you expect anything less from a bandit?
Listen to me.
If he finds out it was me who planned this, I'll cut your throat.
Don't worry, Bey. He won't.
Why are you still worried?
I am going to save Ertuğrul, his wife, and my sister from that bandit.
What do you mean, Bey?
I'll explain later.
But I have missed you so much. I want to spend the night with you.
My God,
I am in great trouble. I seek your refuge.
Deliver me from this cruel plot.
My God, I know that with every difficulty, there is relief.
Help me save my wife from those brutal bandits.
Help me send those who hurt my wife to hell.
Give me victory over my enemy.
Amen.
Halime.
My wife.
My precious.
My only love.
How can I sleep here when you are at the mercy of a bandit?
How can I sit here while you wait for me in tears?
My darling one.
If your beautiful eyes fill with tears,
I would be a thunderstorm.
Without you, my tent is a dungeon and my bed is an enemy to me.
I cannot live here like this anymore.
Son, my dear son.
You were born at a time when the world is full of corrupt men.
Villains will always be after you.
You are not destined to obey them or to kneel at their feet someday.
We are Turks, son.
We are the brave fighters of the steppe.
Finding without losing,
taking without deserving,
dying without fighting is forbidden to us.
In the name of God, most gracious, most merciful.
Have we not expanded thee thy breast?
And removed from thee thy burden,
which weighed down thy back?
And exalted for thee thy mention?
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief.
Yes. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard.
And to thy Lord... turn thy attention.
In the name of God, most gracious, most merciful.
Verily we have granted thee a manifest victory.
That God may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow.
Fulfil his favor to thee and guide thee on the straight path.
And that God may help thee with powerful help.
It is he who placed tranquility into the hearts of the believers
that they may add faith to their faith.
For to God belong the forces of the heavens and the earth.
And God is... full of knowledge and wisdom.
That he may admit the men and women who believe...
to gardens beneath which rivers flow
to dwell therein for aye
and remove their ills from them.
And that is, in the sight of God, the highest achievement.
And that he may punish the hypocrites,
men and women,
and the polytheist men and women,
who hold an evil opinion of God.
On them is a round of evil.
The wrath of God is on them. He has cursed them
and prepared hell for them.
And evil is it as a destination.
For to God belong the forces of the heavens and the earth.
And God is exalted in power.
And full of wisdom.
Undoubtedly, God is omniscient, all aware.
God!
Undoubtedly, God is omniscient, all aware.
May God heal you soon.
Amen.
You will be better by the time your mother returns, Gündüz.
Give me your blessing.
I give you my blessing.
My son.
May God keep you from envious eyes,
evil tongues...
and sharp swords.
Amen.
Return quickly to me, God willing.
Thanks to the powerful women of the Kayi and Cavdar tribes,
to these gold coins I will today add 1,000 more.
Do you think you'll be able to spend that gold?
I have known many people that would do anything for gold,
who died the moment they got their wish, without touching a single coin.
You will choke to death on those gold coins.
Francisco will live like a king on Ertuğrul Bey's gold.
-But you-- -Do you really think
you will walk away from Ertuğrul Bey alive?
I am sure about it.
Because I know that a dead man cannot hurt a living one.
Ertuğrul is walking into a trap he will not get out of alive.
Stupid Turk.
He believes I'll let you and he go once I get my hands on the gold.
But...
each of you will die while gazing into each other's eyes.
I swear on my God, my banner and my sword.
Thank God, I am on a holy duty.
If I turn back from this path I have taken for my forefather Oguz's great generation,
may I be slain by my own sword, like wheat in the field.
May the blue sky tear, may the brave ground sink.
May my forefather Oguz, my blessed tribe, sue me in the next life.
On this path I have taken, may Hizir accompany me
and may Ali be by my side.
May the journey be ours, and the victory God's.
Bey, I questioned everyone in the bazaar, as per your orders.
But no one could answer my questions.
Nobody knows anything.
Go back to the tribe, Kutluca.
Yes, Bey.
My God, I call on you with the prayers of Ali.
You are the greatest, you are omnipotent, and you oppress all kinds of evil.
Save us from this trouble, God.
Bey...
I heard about what happened. I'm very sorry.
I have prayed to our saints for them.
Thank you, Hatun.
Even though both tribes are suffering, I saw that the women came to work.
Ertuğrul Bey is the most determined man I have ever seen. He never gives up.
I understood this the first day he came here.
-Thank you. -Bey!
I have to tell you something.
What is it, woman? Speak.
I think I know who kidnapped them.
Who?
There is a Catalan warrior who goes by the name Francisco.
He doesn't come to the bazaar very often as he and Simon are sworn enemies.
What does he have to do with the kidnapping of our women?
Spit it out, woman!
The day the rug house launched, I met Francisco.
He asked me lots of questions about Halime and Aslıhan Hatun.
I got scared and came back to my stall.
Where can I find him? Tell me!
One of his bandits sometimes comes to my shop.
I overheard him saying they have a camp out at Aya Nikolas rocks.
But Bey, you didn't hear this from me, right?
Hey, Aliyar. What's the rush?
-Bandits have kidnapped our women. -What?
Aslıhan and Halime Sultan were kidnapped, but I've discovered where they are.
We have to go there now, brother.
Ertuğrul went there alone to pay the ransom and save the women.
Then we should tell Batuhan to get the Alps ready.
There's no time, brother!
We'll go together then. Come on.
