I am sorry for what happened...
Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you.
You continue to have problems.
They won't let you be.
They keep happening.
Apparently, we ruffled someone's feathers...
Candar Bey.
Those who don't want us in these lands
keep messing with us.
Because you...
act without consulting anyone,
all the Turkmen tribes get in danger.
Don't you realize that?
We thought we shouldn't...
leave you alone in this matter.
That we should unite.
But...
your ambition to act alone...
has blinded you, Ertuğrul Bey.
What can we do, Candar Bey?
Cruelly inflict pain on the oppressed?
If you had attended our assembly with the Turkmen tribes,
we could have determined our future.
You should be aware that you are speaking to Candar Bey,
who has been assigned as margrave by Emir Saadettin Köpek, Ertuğrul Bey.
From now on,
wherever he asks you to go,
you'll go with him.
You are the one bringing trouble to these lands, Ertuğrul Bey.
You'll soon start a war.
The war has already begun, Ural Bey.
I intend to find and finish those who started this war.
But for those who don't want this war to end,
I'll be too close for comfort.
No blood.
And there is no sign of poisoning.
Did this young woman die for no reason, Bey?
She received a blow to the back of her head, Kutluca.
But there is no way that killed her.
And she can't have been strangled.
If she wasn't strangled either,
do you think she died of natural causes, Bey?
Her face is swollen,
her skin is bruised.
Her flesh is petrified.
These symptoms don't occur so quickly, Kutluca.
It is cold out.
But decay started too soon.
Give me the lamp, Kutluca.
Get it close.
What is it, Bey?
Before she died...
when she was gasping for air...
she must have swallowed these goat hairs.
This woman didn't die of natural causes, Kutluca.
She didn't.
Then...
Aliyar.
What do you think you're doing?
What are you doing in the tent of a deceased woman?
Everyone knows this is a sin.
God rest her soul, Sister.
Aybuke Hatun died in her sleep, peacefully.
May God forgive her sins.
Tell my father she died of natural causes.
Tell them to bury her tomorrow in the early hours, Kutluca.
As you wish, Bey.
Excuse me, Sister.
Sit down.
I came to ask for your forgiveness, Aslıhan.
Your Highness, I...
I kept thinking about the words you said from your heart.
I remembered that when I was a child
I was taken away from my tribe.
From my mother, my father...
my siblings...
my loved ones.
How I was separated from them,
and taken to the Sultan
to serve him in his palace.
When I saw you, a fire started in my heart.
Perhaps I was enchanted by that.
Maybe that was why
I dared make such an offer.
But...
when I heard your innocent and pure words...
I realized that
I would drag you into that sorrow which I experienced as a child.
For putting you through this unimaginable situation...
forgive me.
I beg you, Your Highness,
don't talk like that.
How can a girl stay calm...
when she is with someone like you?
How can it be accepted that you ask forgiveness of a girl like me?
I am not angry at you,
nor am I upset with you.
Men like me are in love with love itself.
How lucky I am...
to have seen your beautiful face...
that reflects the imaginary love in my heart...
like a mirror back to me.
Just because of this...
I'll be grateful to you all my life.
With your pure heart...
and your sincerity...
you helped me come back to life.
And when I was still in pain, no less.
One comes across such things once in a lifetime.
I don't deserve any more.
I know.
Whatever you decide with that pure heart of yours...
I will accept it.
I will be grateful.
I wanted you to know this.
Now if you'll excuse me.
In our own home...
we couldn't protect our own guest.
We've rendered all our past victories worthless.
From now on...
we will never...
ever forget this incident.
Are we clear?
Yes, Bey!
If we can't find who committed this murder,
we can never clear our name.
How will we investigate, Bey?
First, we will determine the situation, Turgut.
When we went to visit the Lord...
his daughter was attacked.
Whoever did this wants to pit the Lord against us.
And...
they intend to destroy us.
Only Ural and Saadettin Köpek would do this, Bey.
You'll see.
They will end up being behind this.
I suspect them, too, Bey.
It is time to teach them a good lesson.
We need evidence, Artuk Bey.
Otherwise, two tribes fighting over a suspicion
would leave us in a bad spot.
Besides...
we would be betraying the Sultan's affection towards us.
Bey.
I promise you.
I will prove that those bastards are the killers.
If we find the assassins we'll solve all the problems, Bey.
Therefore...
starting tomorrow...
we'll scour the world for that man.
Every nook and cranny,
no stone left unturned.
You will bring that man to me alive, Turgut.
Don't worry, Bey.
I'll bring that bastard to you alive.
Honored soldiers of Byzantine.
Under black skies,
we bid farewell to our lord, the protector and defender
of our castle.
Until Jesus Christ
comes from the East and grants him eternal life...
he'll rest in peace in his necropolis.
His memory will live on in our hearts.
Tell your children about everything...
our beloved lord did for Byzantine.
Let them know.
Let them know that he
lost his life while defending our castle.
Let them know that
while spreading the power and justice of Byzantine...
in the name of Jesus Christ
and in God's protection, he found eternal peace.
Your soul will be with us in our castle forever.
Your sons will avenge your death.
Rest in peace.
Father, you'll live in my heart.
I am grateful for everything you did, Father.
May God...
honor you with eternal life, my dear Father.
I promise you.
I will find those who did this to you.
Father.
-Soldiers. -Father.
As you ordered, Laskaris set off for his home,
for Cavdar Tribe.
We are not far behind, Turgut Alp.
The lair of that jackal
must be around here somewhere.
Brothers, when I get my hands on him,
I will tear him apart like this.
Brother, that guy running away, isn't he who we're looking for?
Or am I seeing things because of hunger?
It's that bastard.
Come on, brother.
Calm down, brother.
It could be a trap.
This time, we will ambush them.
We'll follow him
and find out...
who holds his leash.
All right, brother. Let's find out.
Come on!
Every stone that my fingers touch
will only shine
when it meets a maiden worthy of it.
Ertuğrul Bey rejected our offer.
This marriage matter is over now.
I am telling you
to stay away from my man and me.
That is all I ask of you.
I am no one's leftover,
nor a parasite.
Get a hold of yourself, Aslıhan.
You owned the love in your heart.
You waited.
You said it was from God.
You surrendered.
But it is unrequited now.
Don't cry at the door of someone who didn't let you in their heart.
In political matters...
making use of the experience of the high state officials
wouldn't harm anyone.
Until a seed grows into a tree,
it goes through many troubles,
calamities and disasters.
I have enough experience to know
who is capable of what,
or what they go after with their little minds.
Your Highness.
We always trust in your wisdom.
However, there must be
a price for Ertuğrul to pay for landing our state in trouble.
There will be.
Ural Bey, surely, there will be.
Don't you doubt that.
By attempting things he has no right to,
Ertuğrul put us in an impossible situation.
Despite the fact that we warned him repeatedly.
You talk like Ertuğrul Bey was the one to kill the Lord, Your Highness.
God forbid...
if anything were to happen to you in our tents...
would we be responsible for that?
What the hell are you saying?
How dare you say such things, Aliyar?
Aliyar Bey.
If death comes to me while I visit a tribe,
first, the ones who failed to take measures will lose their heads.
Ertuğrul was so tactless that
he hosted a Byzantine Lord
in a weak inn protected only by a handful of alps.
His life and his inn will be the ransom for this irresponsible behavior of his.
What does this mean, Your Highness?
I will confiscate the inn on behalf of the Seljuk Empire.
When our Sultan receives the news,
he will come to only one decision about Ertuğrul
who pushed the lord to his death with his own hands.
And that decision will be a death sentence.
Through God's will, he will pay for what he did.
Ural Bey.
There is no reason left for me to stay here.
Now, I will take the inn from Ertuğrul .
Then, I will deal with this trouble he brought upon us, God willing.
Your Highness.
Be our guest for a few more days...
So that we can complete the marriage preparations.
The time for the marriage...
was when it was first mentioned, Candar Bey.
If it hadn't been decided yet,
maybe it was never--
May I speak, Your Highness?
Go ahead, Aslıhan Hatun. Please.
Your Highness.
First of all, I'd like you to know that I'm honored by your offer.
Excuse me for asking for time.
My father raised me like a brave boy.
That is why, at each step I have taken,
I have tried to be righteous.
For such an auspicious matter of the heart...
I had to summon all my sincerity...
to consult my heart, so as to know how it feels.
In short...
I would like you to know
that I'll be sincerely faithful and dedicate my life to you.
Ural.
That bastard.
Who else could it be?
Brother.
Brother, let me go.
Let me go, so that I can
cut off the heads of both this dog and his owner, that bastard Ural.
First, we have to get this news to our bey.
If our bey says yes...
you can start from one end...
and I, the other.
We can cut them off.
All right, brother.
Let's go.
Aslıhan.
You have made me happy.
You should know that.
Candar Bey!
There is more than one good side to this marriage.
Now, the loyalty of Turkmen tribes towards our state
and the state's opinion of us, have grown stronger.
Batuhan.
Batuhan!
A merchant from Constantinople is here.
He wants to see you about an important matter.
Go and take him to the tent.
Say I'll be right over.
Now that Aslıhan Hatun has given her consent,
I say let's complete this.
After I seize control of the inn,
I would like us to get engaged.
Of course, Your Highness.
It shall be as you wish.
Very well.
Then,
for the sake of good news that comes all at once,
sacrifice some rams.
Emir Saadettin Köpek promises you.
It'll be a celebration worthy of your tribe and our state.
Excuse me.
Welcome to our tribe.
Thank you, Ural Bey.
Allow me to introduce myself first.
I am Laskaris, a merchant assigned
by the Emperor himself to be in charge of the trade routes
east of Constantinople.
I bring you the greetings and precious gifts of the Emperor.
I'd like you to know that...
for his generous gifts and estimable greetings,
we are grateful to your Emperor.
Having you visit our tribe is an honor.
But, if we had known before,
we would have prepared to welcome you.
As you know...
for security reasons,
I had to keep my travel here a secret.
You are right.
There are many bandits and jackals roaming around here.
What is the offer of your emperor?
The Emperor wants to keep the trade routes open at all times.
And the biggest tribe around here is the Cavdars.
That is why we'd like to collaborate with you and enlarge our trade.
I am sure you would.
A merchant that came here by the Emperor's orders
is more than welcome here.
I want you to know that you took a very important step.
First, get some rest.
Then, I would like to introduce you to my father.
Of course, Ural Bey.
I would love to meet Candar Bey.
However, Ural Bey...
there is another matter.
What is it?
The Emperor is not pleased with the activities of Ertuğrul Bey
who tries to build an Islamic order in lands which he took by force.
The abolition of interest and slavery is unacceptable.
This shows Ertuğrul Bey to be an expert in trade.
If you--
Don't worry about it, Merchant Laskaris.
Ertuğrul Bey has lost his market, the support of Sultan Aladdin
and the trust of the public.
He lost all political and mercantile authority.
As for me...
Just as I have carried out my orders so far,
I will continue to do so in the same way.
After all, there are rules for everything, aren't there?
The rules of trade have worked in this way all these years,
and they will in the future, too.
As for the matter of security...
I am in charge here.
Both the bandits and the jackals around here
know that they shouldn't mess with Ural Bey.
Don't you worry, Merchant Laskaris.
We will do good things together.
Batuhan!
Treat Merchant Laskaris with the best care.
Take him to the guest tent.
Bed, mattress, give him whatever he needs.
He is our guest of honor.
May I come in, Bey?
Come here, Kutluca.
You asked to see me, Bey.
You know I've always trusted you, Kutluca.
I know, Bey.
Unfortunately, I have no else in my tribe that I can trust .
I trust only you...
and my almighty God.
For their own profits,
everyone walks all over justice.
Instead of stopping the games that are played,
they take part in them.
But...
until I take my last breath, I have sworn to stay on the right path.
Of course, Bey.
Protecting brave men who have sworn to walk the right path,
like I have, is our duty, Kutluca.
Even if...
it means betraying your bey.
Ertuğrul Bey is a brave man who walks the right path, Kutluca.
If he can't see the games played behind his back, he'll fall into a trap.
Now, you'll go to him
and tell him that Köpek is coming to take the inn.
Bey.
I promised Candar Bey.
You made a promise...
to God in the land of spirits, Kutluca.
You said, "Kâlû Belâ" like all of us.
Now, keep your promise.
Help Ertuğrul who walks on God's path.
May I come in, Bey?
Come in, Turgut.
-We found a trace of the heathen, Bey. -Where is he now?
In the Cavdar Tribe.
What are you talking about, Turgut?
We followed him.
He went into the tents of the Cavdars.
Every evil leads to you, Ural.
This will bring your doom.
Now, you've fallen into my clutches.
Oh, Helena.
Your beautiful eyes...
should never cry.
What are you doing?
You're getting carried away!
She...
She is the daughter of a lord.
A beautiful princess.
And you...
Poor Bamsi.
Who are you to fall in love?
Bastard.
Get out of here!
