Holster your swords.
I am here to turn myself in.
I can see your hatred for a traitor,
and your loyalty to the deceased Candar Bey, in your eyes.
That is why I came here.
I fully trust in your chivalry.
Now, you can take me to the tribe,
or together, we can bring Cavdar Tribe back to its old glorious days.
What are you saying, Batuhan? What are trying to do?
Just so you know, I am not a traitor.
I just followed Ural Bey's orders.
But Ural Bey is indeed a traitor.
He did more than you know.
He is a cruel man.
He killed Toktamış Bey and handed over his sister, Aslıhan Hatun, to the bandits.
Ertuğrul Bey will cut his throat at the Hanlı Bazaar.
He will be buried with his sins, Batuhan!
But where is the proof of all of this?
I saw everything with my own eyes.
I also know
that Ural Bey had a deal with bandits to seize Ertuğrul Bey's gold mine.
I am sorry,
we've lost the baby, Aslıhan Hatun.
Çolpan Hatun has lost a lot of blood.
She needs to rest.
Ertuğrul!
The beys of my tribe.
First, I want to thank all of you.
You have honored me.
You know our pain.
And you also know our traditions.
We should bury the deceased bey and select the new one.
That is right.
What I want to say is this...
I want to be the new bey of this tribe...
after my father.
What's said in the family stays in the family, Aliyar Bey.
You have exposed our tribal matters and caused the death of father.
And now, you want to be the bey.
Just so you know, neither the beys here
nor I will let you do this.
I have the right
to have that title before you.
I shed blood for this tribe, while you were walking about in distant lands.
I have worked hard.
Beys, I want you to know that...
I want to be the bey of Cavdar Tribe.
Beys of our tribe...
I see that you are holding a meeting right after Candar Bey's funeral.
You have the right to do that.
But before choosing a new bey,
we have two dead bodies that we should bury.
And Aliyar,
who begs to be the bey now, is responsible for this.
Know your place!
If one of the dead bodies belongs to Ural Bey,
then who is the other one, Aslıhan Hatun?
Ural's unborn child.
Oh God, how painful!
May God rest his soul.
What are you saying, Aslıhan?
Çolpan Hatun couldn't withstand the pain anymore.
-She lost her baby. -What?
And she is still fighting death.
And here you are, discussing who will be the next bey.
Aliyar...
you should know that you and Ertuğrul Bey
are responsible for the ones we have lost.
The only thing Ural Bey cared about was the mine.
He wanted to kill Ertuğrul Bey and get all the gold.
This mine can bring the Cavdars back to their glorious days.
Both you and our tribe will win.
Or you can take me back to the tribe and execute me like they did to Ural Bey.
The decision is yours.
Now...
tomorrow, come to Keltepe with all the alps you trust.
I will take you to the mine, you will see it for yourselves.
Now, you go to the tribe and think about what I just said.
I will only believe you
when I see the mine myself, Batuhan.
If you are telling the truth,
I will support you for the sake of our tribe.
Do it quick, Ertuğrul Bey.
Your family will be drowned in my blood anyway.
Turgut...
take him.
Stop!
Isn't he Hasan the Merchant?
Qadi Almighty...
I have something to say.
Good luck with your new job, Commander Vasilius.
We have discovered a new scheme, Hayme Hatun.
May God help us.
Go on, I am listening.
Qadi Almighty...
Since I am a tekfur now...
being a peacemaker is my job.
So, I brought you these two murderers.
Commander Vasilius.
Emir Sadettin.
What are you doing here?
Why has the execution stopped?
I have questioned the man who killed our tekfur.
There was another man involved.
Petrus, or better known by Hanlı Bazaar's community as Hasan the Merchant.
Here is the man who planned our tekfur's murder.
This traitor, Petrus, got our tekfur killed by Laskaris.
And he laid the blame on Ural Bey.
He wanted to break the peace.
Two states are on the edge of a war because of the Templars.
Our empire is siding with peace...
by withdrawing its complaint.
It looks like all of us were deceived by the Templars,
especially Ertuğrul Bey.
Qadi Almighty.
Since Ural Bey is innocent, he should be released.
Ertuğrul Bey...
you keep on talking about "justice", now it is time for it.
It has been proved that I am innocent.
Now you will taste my justice.
How could I know that you're telling the truth, Tekfur Vasilius?
First, you must prove your claims.
Simon's records.
I found them in Petrus' den.
Right. That's right, Qadi Almighty.
All the schemes that they planned for our tekfur and state is written here.
And there is more.
Bring Helena here!
Come, Helena.
You were attacked when you came to the castle.
Was this man among the attackers?
Yes.
Yes, it was him.
He was leading the attackers.
I saw him kill the chamberlain with my own eyes.
He was the one who ordered your father's death.
Murderer! Murderer!
-Murderer! -Helena. Helena...
Now, justice has been served.
The brave and honorable beys of Cavdar Tribe!
Our sorrow is great.
Every day...
we are being tested with a new pain.
And that's why I am suggesting that we should...
postpone the meeting.
Ural Bey's unborn child died.
Our sorrow is great, of course.
Before Candar Bey's body is cold,
while Ural Bey was being executed, we held a meeting.
Why? Because our tribe needs a new leader.
Why do you want to postpone the meeting, Aliyar Bey?
Our tribe has a leader, Acar Bey.
I am the deputy for my father.
And the meeting will be held tomorrow.
That is it!
Kutluca!
I...
have proved that I am a tekfur worthy of our emperor.
I killed the murderers in front of your eyes and served justice.
The case is closed for me.
It is your decision what you do with Ural Bey.
Let's go, Helena.
Tekfur Vasilius.
The man who wants to serve the justice himself...
must be hiding something.
Remember this, Ertuğrul Bey.
I have saved not only you...
but both Turkmen tribes...
and the Seljuk Empire from a great scheme.
And now it's our duty to protect the peace that our state agreed upon.
Ural Bey was found guilty of killing your alps with his alp, Batuhan,
and burning your rugs.
It was decided that Ural Bey and Laskaris had killed the tekfur together.
The case you've covered up has just opened again for me.
Justice will be served only when this scheme is over.
Ertuğrul Bey...
it is obvious the murder of the tekfur is just a slander against Ural Bey
and nobody is trying to cover up anything.
On the contrary, we have learned the truth.
And you have unintentionally supported this scheme.
Thankfully, I know the Templars better than you.
Ertuğrul Bey doesn't fully understand what they are capable of.
May God protect us all.
Let's go, Helena.
Farewell, Bamsi Beyrek.
I haven't said my final word yet, Ural Bey.
Remember, your arrogant head is still at the edge of my sword.
Qadi Almighty...
According to the rules,
the execution should be postponed...
and you should review the decision again.
Emir Almighty is right.
We should review the decision.
You are just postponing justice by doing this, Qadi Almighty.
It will not change the fact that Ural had my alps killed.
We tried Ural Bey
for both the murders of the tekfur, and your alps, Ertuğrul Bey.
And we should try him again, this time only for the accusation of murdering alps.
But, since he has been proven guilty for that,
the sentence of death won't change, unless you want otherwise.
God commands that
you shall serve the justice properly.
And that's why Ural Bey should be tried only for the murder of your alps.
Even though his sentence will remain the same,
we should do that.
Justice...
will be served now, Ertuğrul Bey.
Everybody will see that you are a liar.
And then it will be your turn to be tried.
The case is closed.
But I will certainly come again.
You should.
You can come whenever you want.
I'll be waiting for you.
You are more than welcome.
Helena!
Don't get too close to Turks, they're like hyenas playing with their prey.
Commander...
Commander!
We are not you, we don't play with anybody.
And we all know...
who is the hyena and who is the lion.
Stop, just stop.
Vasilius, let's go.
Let's go!
CAVDAR TRIBE
Acar Bey
aspires to be the bey of the tribe, this is not a good sign, Kutluca.
He is not qualified to be the leader of our tribe, Bey.
Ural Bey's baby is dead,
and now it would make Acar's supporters more furious.
Everything would be over if you hadn't postponed the meeting, Bey.
Who is behind Acar Bey?
Sadettin Köpek, of course.
We will not let anybody sow discord
among our tribe, Kutluca.
I will be loyal to you until my dying breath, Bey.
Go to Ertuğrul Bey quick and tell him the situation.
Yes, Bey.
You will not run away from me.
I will
get out of here freely, you'll see.
And I will come after you.
-Ural... -Hmm.
Watch your mouth.
Don't mind him, Brother. Be patient.
We will see his head is cut off from his body.
God willing.
Turgut Alp, come to me.
I wouldn't touch a tied man.
Untie me, then.
Untie me, and I will show you who is the boss!
Ertuğrul Bey has the right...
to cut your throat.
He escaped from his death again.
When will he die, God?
He thinks that he can be absolved and go away.
He doesn't deserve to breathe again.
Bey, he was absolved of the tekfur murder.
However, we have evidence that he killed our alps and burned our rugs.
He cannot get away with it.
His deceased father...
Aliyar Bey, Aslıhan Hatun,
all of them witnessed that he gave the order to Batuhan for this.
Do not be so sure about it.
How could Vasilius find that bastard Petrus in just one night?
How could he get those records?
Why did he kill Petrus and Laskaris here instead of taking them to İznik?
If we can't answer these questions, we will get nothing.
What are you thinking, Son?
Vasilius suddenly showed up
and saved Ural from the tekfur murder. I think he did so for a reason.
They are plotting something against us.
It is obvious that Vasilius and Köpek are allies now.
Their only intention is to absolve Ural, and make him the bey of his tribe.
They will do anything for that.
Ural Bey went too far for the trade.
Right.
However, although he ordered his man to burn the rugs,
his alp Batuhan, who is still at large, used initiative
and massacred those alps by hiring some bandits.
What do you mean, Emir Almighty?
What I mean is, Qadi Almighty...
What I mean is...
it is obvious that Ural Bey is responsible for this ominous event.
That is correct.
Even he didn't want to do that,
Kayi alps' blood is on his hands now.
But beheading him wouldn't be fair.
The punishment shouldn't be execution. No!
No.
Because that would...
sow discord among these tribes.
And once it starts...
brothers will kill each other.
As God commands in the 40th verse of The Counsel surah of the Quran:
"The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto.
But if a person forgives and makes reconciliation,
his reward is due from Allah."
So, it is not up to us, Emir Almighty.
Ertuğrul Bey, who lost his alps,
could want retaliation by persuading the families,
or by diet.
He will be the one who decides.
May your scales of justice never be unbalanced.
Are you the merchant who wants to rent my father's shop?
Call me Master Alvin.
I am forever loyal to you.
I need to say that I am very sorry about the things that happened to you.
I am praying for God to have his mercy on your father.
Where were you trading before, Master Alvin? I think...
I know you from somewhere.
You must have seen me somewhere before,
I have been doing business all over the world.
We must have met before.
I was in Nicaea most recently.
I would be pleased to have you at our castle, Master Alvin.
And I'd like to get to know you better before making a decision.
But excuse me for today.
-As you can see, I am very tired. -Oh...
Of course, I wouldn't upset a kind woman like you.
We will wait till tomorrow.
If you'll excuse me now.
I will visit you tomorrow.
Be our guest at our castle today.
You are so kind, thank you.
Helena, I need to go back to my business.
You should rest, you have been through a lot.
Knowing that your father's real murderers were found must have relieved you.
They got what they deserve.
And Ural is absolved.
Now you can sleep in peace.
Come, wave, take me
and put me again in his arms.
May I come in, Aslıhan Hatun?
Yes.
The truth was revealed finally, Aslıhan Hatun.
Ural Bey was acquitted of the tekfur murder charge.
Thank God.
The other charges?
Ural was proven innocent of the tekfur murder.
The plan you had with Ertuğrul to make you the bey has failed.
What are you going to do now?
Sadakallahülazim.
Know your place, Aslıhan.
I have never had secret plans to be the bey.
Anger has blinded you.
At least for once, act reasonably, Aslıhan.
You are the last person who could advise me.
Everything happened because of you.
Do you think Ural's acquittal from the tekfur's murder changes anything?
He burned the rugs with Batuhan,
he killed those innocent alps,
you know that, just like everyone else.
Ural made a mistake and gave an order to burn the rugs.
However, the one who killed the alps was Batuhan.
That will be proved, too.
Then, you and Ertuğrul will be held accountable.
May God heal your eyes, Aslıhan.
Because you are blind and cannot see the truth.
Ural's baby has died in his mother's womb, Aliyar.
You are responsible for that.
Likewise, you are responsible for my father's death.
So, shame on you.
Shame on you.
Shame on you, Aliyar.
This Vasilius...
He is trying to gain influence over Helena.
He is playing up to her.
How was Ural absolved, I just can't understand that.
That is not good, Dumrul. That is not good.
I bet Vasilius has a hand in it.
I know these people well, Haçaturyan Usta.
They always have secret plans.
That is why we are here.
Let's discuss what are we going to do now.
My old mind has stopped working.
Think, old man. Just think!
We need to infiltrate the castle by acting like one of them.
We should laugh with them
and we should cry with them.
First, we should rent this shop and...
What about...
What about Helena? What if she says no?
What if she doesn't let us rent the shop? What will we do, Dumrul?
You will work your magic on her, Haçaturyan Usta.
If I was a sweet talker like you, I'd be able to rent this castle!
-No way. Really? -Yes.
So, Ural was absolved of the tekfur's murder?
God-damned Sadettin Köpek!
He can do anything.
Now he will do his best to absolve Ural of his other crimes!
What do we do now, Batuhan?
Let's see who the new bey will be.
Then we will do what's necessary.
Bugay, inform me of everything.
Do not worry.
We are ready.
When you say it is time,
we will take action.
