That's enough, Halime Hatun.
Why do you keep staring at me like that?
Get your hands off me.
If I've done something wrong, tell me.
Then I can ask for forgiveness.
To deserve forgiveness one must first be virtuous.
One should be decent.
One can't be honorable with envy in her heart.
Mind your own business.
Did you just call me deceitful?
Stop right there!
Stay away from me and my lord.
That's all I want.
I know what your father's intentions are.
And I know what to expect of a woman like you.
A woman like me? What's that supposed to mean?
You are a disgrace.
You sneaked into our home.
I know exactly what you were doing!
If you raise your hand to me like that again, I'll cut your throat.
Know your place!
Act with virtue.
I won't let you disturb our lives.
Halime Sultan. That's enough.
I'll make life unbearable for you. Unbearable.
-Get out. -Aslıhan Hatun?
I said get out. What don't you understand?
Stop that, Aslıhan! Pull yourself together.
She embarrassed me in front of everyone. She humiliated me!
Halime Hatun revealed her evil nature.
I'll make her regret it. I'll destroy her.
She'll pay a heavy price for this.
Aslıhan, Candar Bey will take revenge on them.
I swear, I'll kill her myself. I swear!
I swear.
Welcome.
Please.
Not on the ground, nor in the sky.
He is the one who made it happen,
in the name of God, the most gracious and the most merciful.
Our beloved one is up in the blue sky.
At this meeting we will unify and reinforce
our village, our tribe, our family,
our sons and our daughters.
The brave beys of Oghuz are gathered here today to bring justice.
Amen.
May God bless our union and alliance.
Amen.
You brought about our first conquest in these lands, Ertuğrul Bey.
May God bless us with many more.
Amen.
The meeting will commence
with the words of the man who gathered us here on this holy day, Ertuğrul Bey.
First and foremost, I'm honored by your presence at this meeting.
Now is the time for us to wage a holy war in these lands.
If we rest, the infidels will spring.
If we keep quiet, wickedness will roar.
Now is the time for these lands to witness us coming together as one.
You said we should become one.
But Candar Bey is not here, Ertuğrul Bey.
Candar Bey is unable to join the meeting today
because of some pressing business he had to deal with.
Instead, he sent his two sons
to honor the Turkmen beys.
What's more important than being at this blessed meeting?
Is there some disagreement or conflict between you, Ertuğrul Bey?
I hope there is no hostility
between the beys of your two tribes, Ertuğrul Bey.
What matters to us
is that which befits our cause and state.
We have come here to learn Ertuğrul Bey's intentions.
Emir Sa’d al-Din.
We know what Ertuğrul Bey intends to do, Ural Bey.
However,
one shouldn't be besotted with his conquest,
nor with his attempts to build a state within the state.
He will not slip through our net.
Emir Sa’d al-Din.
You can't interrupt our meeting by talking nonsense like that.
Who are you to say that, Ertuğrul Bey?
Do you know why I came here?
I came here to deliver this edict to you,
with Sultan Alaeddin's stamp on it, for conquering Hanli bazaar,
and vanquishing the Templars.
I rode my horse at full gallop
to give you the good news as quickly as I could.
And this is what I find!
It turns out that Ertuğrul Bey is chasing supreme power,
with all the other beys in his corner.
You've overstepped the mark, Ertuğrul.
How dare you gather the beys behind our back? How?
This edict is given only to the deserving.
But attempting to establish a new state within our state
deserves only punishment!
And all of you...
Why are you attending this meeting when Candar Bey does not?
Candar Bey, who is loyal to his state and to its cause?
You betray your cause and your state.
Shame on you!
Emir Sa’d al-Din.
I am Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah.
As commanded by our religion...
I would never turn my back on our ruler.
I would never shy away from whatever I might deserve.
We set our heart on the arduous challenge of a holy journey as ordered by Allah.
We have sacrificed...
our blood and our people
in this cause.
Do not try to thwart me in this
as you have tried to do in the past.
This time, those upon whom you rely,
will not be able to save you from the full force of my wrath.
I'll be back, Ertuğrul Bey.
And with me, your worst nightmare.
Alps, get Master Haçaturyan to safety!
Protect him!
It's a raid, draw your swords!
God is one, God is great!
What the hell was that, Bey?
Turns out that that mongrel Köpek was just waiting for today.
He seeks to ruin your reputation among the Turkmen beys.
My fear is that he intends to join forces with Ural Bey.
Maybe they already have, Bey.
We'll settle the score, Artuk Bey.
I'll take down Köpek even if it costs me my life.
Ertuğrul Bey isn't to be disturbed, wait.
Get out of my way, I need to talk to him.
Bamsi.
Turgut.
I'm sorry, Ertuğrul Bey, but Istus is in real trouble.
-I'm listening. -Ertuğrul Bey,
bandits raided my caravan on the way from Constantinople.
Remember what you promised. You said you'd stop them.
Keep your promise.
People earn their bread here. This could finish me!
The bandits will be punished.
As for your stolen goods... I'll pay for the damages.
-Turgut. -Yes, Bey.
Find the bandits who looted the caravan. Bring them here.
I need their leader alive.
Yes, Bey.
Not that wretch Köpek, not Ural, or Candar,
no one will distract me from my ultimate goal, Artuk Bey.
When the time comes...
mouths are silenced... and swords do the talking.
It's just as I thought.
Ertuğrul intends to
establish dominance over the beys.
He wanted to humiliate you too.
But you exposed his game for what it was, Father.
The beys all saw it.
Not only the beys,
Sa’d al-Din saw it too.
That's what matters.
He humiliated him in front of the beys by not delivering the Sultan's edict.
He got what he deserved.
This is only the beginning. Just wait and see.
I'll knock you down, Ertuğrul.
Aliyar.
Will you... stand behind him?
Father.
I would never allow anyone to look down on you
or our tribe, you know that.
You've finally found the right path, Aliyar.
But...
the truth is hidden behind the curtain, brother.
When the curtain falls,
we shouldn't be ashamed of what we've said.
Can I go, Father?
Guards!
Aliyar.
No matter what happens,
don't let Aliyar set us against one another.
-Abdur Rahman. -Yes, Bey.
Tell the alps to stand by. Master Haçaturyan is waiting.
Yes, my Bey. Alps!
-Guard the inn, Artuk Bey. -Don't worry, my bey.
I got word there was news from our Sultan.
Someone didn't want me to speak to his messenger.
They knew we would talk.
They attacked us from behind.
The messenger died.
God bless his martyrdom.
Did he give you the news?
The Mongols are oppressing the Turks.
We can't move to conquer Karacahisar right now.
The Sultan wants me to wait but to be ready when the word comes.
God bless our lands, my bey.
We are surrounded by fire.
The Byzantines in the west and the Mongols in the east.
It's a huge challenge. May God bless our swords.
Amen, Artuk Bey.
You wanted to see me, my bey.
Your encounter with Aslıhan Hatun...
I heard what happened, Halime Sultan.
She deserved it, my bey.
You are the wife of Ertuğrul, the bey of the Kayi Tribe.
Have you forgotten that the tribe's interests must always come first?
-I know, my bey-- -Then act like it.
Did you make a decision about the future of our tribe, my bey?
I turned down Candar Bey's offer.
-My bey-- -You are my wife, Halime Sultan.
You should act accordingly.
The wife of a bey should put her faith in him.
That is what our book tells us to do.
You will stand behind me no matter what I decide to do.
I'm getting closer, old man! You can't hide from me forever.
Show yourself!
Master!
Samsa!
Samsa.
Hold on, brother.
To deserve forgiveness one must first be virtuous.
One should be decent.
One can't be honorable with envy in her heart.
Stay away from me and my lord.
That's all I want.
Çolpan told me what happened.
I know how impertinent Halime can be.
It doesn't matter to me, Father.
We are your children.
We know you protect our tribe's interests.
We don't have to think twice about that.
Are you saying that in spite of Halime Hatun's tactless words?
Do you think I care about her, Father?
All I care about is your reputation.
I'd do anything to protect it.
What about Ertuğrul?
I would do anything to make the Kayi Tribe bow down to you.
Nothing else matters, Father.
Ertuğrul Bey must pay for his arrogance, Father.
He isn't worthy of your grace.
My daughter.
Father, please don't think I'm only saying this because I'm upset.
They wounded your pride. That's why I'm angry.
I'm proud of you... my daughter.
You might have a talent for mining gold but I'm great at hunting.
Today, you're my prey.
Samsa! Samsa?
-Are you all right? -Yes, my bey.
We were raided by bandits.
Master Haçaturyan, my bey...
Doğan, Bamsi! Split up. Find Haçaturyan.
No, Master Haçaturyan.
Those gold coins couldn't protect you.
Who's going to rescue you now?
The son of Suleyman Shah, Ertuğrul.
KARACAHISAR CASTLE
It's fortunate that Hanli bazaar no longer belongs to the Templars.
But...
isn't Ertuğrul Bey an even bigger threat than they were?
It was a bigger challenge to defeat the Templars.
We came through the storm thanks to Ertuğrul.
-Ertuğrul is easier prey. -How so?
The Turks...
They envy each other. It's their biggest weakness.
They'd do anything if it meant gaining absolute power.
Ertuğrul conquered the Hanli bazaar,
annoying the other Turkmen tribes.
Our son-in-law Ural Bey, for one.
Don't say his name.
A man who can't father a child will never make a warrior.
My lord, Ural is our greatest weapon.
He's allied with Sa’d al-Din Köpek.
-Köpek exploits him. -That doesn't matter.
What's our plan?
I see the evil laughing in his eyes.
It won't only be Ertuğrul, we'll destroy all the Turks.
We'll take our lands back from them.
Sultan Alaeddin is in the East, fighting the Mongols.
He doesn't want to have to fight us right now.
We'll wage a war against him and take our lands back.
-Yes. -Yes.
And how do we wage that war?
You won't believe just how easy it will be.
The Turks will turn on each other.
Their animosity towards one another will grow so great
that sooner or later they'll ask for our help.
And we'll bury them in the ground.
I admire your loyalty, your intellect,
and your courage, Vasilius.
I don't want to die a disappointed old man.
Knock the hell out of those Turks.
Don't worry, my lord.
I don't want you to be disappointed. Never.
HANLI BAZAAR
Should we continue to work the gold mine?
We'll hold on for a while.
The enemy will continue to come at us relentlessly, Artuk Bey.
They'll do what it takes to take the bazaar and the mine.
You suspect Ural, don't you, Bey?
They must have kept watch of us to find out about the gold mine.
So we'll be at their heels too.
Convince the brave men in the Cavdar tribe
to join our cause.
I should be informed of their every step.
Don't worry, my bey.
There are many valiant Alps in the Cavdar tribe.
But this may end up in a battle.
Our Sultan gave us strict orders to remain at peace.
Emir Sa’d al-Din took the helm of the Turkmen beys.
That works in our favor; we can get to know our enemy better.
We can devise a better plan with our own traps and ambushes.
You should all know that Islam rules over the bazaar
thanks to Ertuğrul Bey, son of Suleyman Shah.
Karancolos got what he deserved
for attacking
the merchants
and looting their goods.
As of now,
those who attempt to commit wrongdoings
will face the wrath of Ertuğrul Bey.
Ertuğrul Bey, this very day,
has banned the slave trade in Hanli bazaar.
He banned the slave trade.
As of now, no one will trade slaves.
We will trade fairly.
Everyone will get what he deserves.
We have a thorny issue in the Turkmen villages, Artuk Bey.
But we have other troubles.
The governor of Karacahisar.
They can't reconcile themselves to the Muslim conquest of the bazaar.
-May I enter, my bey? -Come in, Doğan.
You summoned me, my bey.
You've lived in Karacahisar. You know them well.
They fell silent after we took control of the bazaar.
I've been waiting for a messenger.
What do you think?
It's not good, Bey.
I know the governor and that scoundrel Vasilius well.
Their silence is a dangerous sign, Bey.
They're biding their time before showing their teeth.
We need to knock out those rotten teeth.
Until we conquer Karacahisar Castle, we take every precaution necessary.
