No. It's now apparent that...
it's impossible to keep the peace with that scum Vasilius.
War is now inevitable.
You conquered the Public Market.
What would happen if I just handed over to him
the Public Hall that you deserve so much?
He will ask for more.
If I give him an inch now, he will take a mile, and then my head.
I will not allow the great Seljuks to be toyed around in my presence.
You should accept Vasilius' offer, Your Highness.
What's the meaning of this?
I said I would not do as he wishes.
I'd give my life for Aslıhan Hatun.
But not an inch of Seljuk lands.
Batuhan, one of Ural's alps,
went to see Vasilius before he died yesterday.
His ultimate goal is not to take the Public Market,
but to drench these soils in our blood.
He can't bear seeing even a Turkmen tent, let alone a whole tribe.
He can't start the war himself as he fears the emperor.
So he's provoking us.
He's waiting for us to start the war.
I know all this.
However, you must pretend to be doing what he wants
to save Aslıhan Hatun.
What are you planning, Ertuğrul?
If there is anyone that knows Aslıhan's whereabouts
it's Vasilius, for sure.
My men tracked her down.
They have a good idea of where she is.
If you accept Vasilius' offer,
he will send his soldiers to retrieve Aslıhan Hatun.
And those soldiers will lead us to her.
Ertuğrul Bey.
What if we can't find her?
What if Batuhan did not tell Vasilius Aslıhan's whereabouts?
Vasilius must have played it safe, Your Highness.
Make no mistake.
I will depart before sunrise.
Wait for my good news at the Public Market.
I will be waiting for it, Ertuğrul Bey.
Once this is over,
I will tell our Sultan that we must take Karacahisar.
I will tell him that peace is no longer an option.
I will tell him that...
...the only way we will win this is if Aliyar Bey and Ertuğrul Bey
unite as one.
May I enter, sir?
Come.
So, what happened at the tent?
I did not go inside.
But the meeting is over.
However...
Speak!
Acar Bey's alps took something out of the tent covertly.
I couldn't see what it was
but it was huge.
They must be up to something again.
You need to find out what they took out.
Follow them.
Leave no stone unturned.
Men! It's time for war! Get ready!
What are you all waiting for? Come on!
He's been like that all day.
He's training his men, as it were.
-Daddy! -My boy!
Ah!
Are you a commander now?
No, I'm a Bey, Dad.
And what were you doing?
Training my men, Daddy.
He's been scolding his men all day.
Such training is unheard of.
But they deserved it.
Want me to teach you how a real bey trains his men?
First of all, you must give them courage.
How, Daddy?
Come here.
Up you go. Bismillah.
There.
Raise your sword now.
Men!
My brave men!
We walked arm in arm,
tracked down the enemies and earned our fame
despite the smelting mountains of steel.
And when our names were set in stone,
and we were awash with faith,
we reached for the skies
and the entire world trembled.
The sun was our spear, and the skies our marquee.
Then, we said thus:
Justice till the end!
Freedom till the end!
Who are we?
Martyrs dying for our cause.
Gallant men working for order throughout the entire world!
We are Turks, stout believers of Islam.
We are Turks!
There.
This is how you encourage your men.
You must tell them why they are fighting,
where they came from,
and where they are going.
Got it?
Go on, keep training your men.
My brave Turks!
Drink this, bey.
Thank you.
Selamunaleykum.
Aleykumselamun.
We are about to find Aslıhan.
We found out her approximate location.
Hopefully, we will be able to get her safely.
Hopefully.
Well done.
You just try to recover as soon as possible, Aliyar Bey.
Our men are thirsty for conquest.
If I could just get up and take my weapon once again,
many a triumph is waiting for us.
If it was any other man with such a wound,
they wouldn't be able to recover, Aliyar Bey.
However, you are a stout man.
You will surely recover swiftly.
I hope so.
I always prayed...
...to God that he would not take my life
before he deems me worthy of his heaven.
Let's see just when we will depart from his world.
Ibn Arabi would always say that fate protects men from death.
Bey.
You have a visitor.
Selamunaleykum.
-Aleykumselamun. -Aleykumselamun.
At last we meet.
Would you kindly accept this poor man as a guest?
I would be honored.
Here.
Walking is hard.
Walking on the right path is even harder.
And a man needs fellow travelers the most.
How lucky you are to have found such comrades.
Allah says thus in Surah Al Imran:
"Ye believers!
Endure the hardships you face on the path of Allah.
Close the ranks between you against the infidels
and show them that you are stronger and tougher than them.
Do not waver and keep walking on the path of Allah.
Avoid disobeying Allah
so that you may achieve your dreams and know what you fear."
We are blessed to hear the divine words of Allah.
God sent us the Quran to address us.
However, the Muslims are struggling to understand the Quran.
But God says thus in his holy book:
"There is an immense amount of signs
that show the might and magnificence of Allah,
as in the creation of the heavens and the earth,
and in the increase and decrease of day and night.
And only those with prudence may comprehend these signs."
Hopefully, we can become those with prudence as well.
Hopefully.
His Holiness decrees thus in his holy book, addressing his subjects:
"Allah answered the prayers of his subjects thus:
'Be it a man or a woman,
I will not let your labor go unreciprocated.
I will disregard and forgive the wrongdoings
of those among you who
emigrates in the name of their faith,
whoever is persecuted because of me,
whoever faces the infidels in my name
and whoever is killed fighting the infidels.
Not just that, I will bestow upon them the heavens where the waters cascade.
And thus, they will be rewarded generously in the presence of Allah.
Surely, the best of the rewards are those give in the presence of Allah.'"
What I mean is, O great warriors,
all the suffering you are going through is not for naught.
And that you will be rewarded when the time is right.
Just as the seed counts the days until it sprouts,
you, too, shall count the days until your resurrection.
One day,
the seed will sprout to form a huge plane tree.
And it will be so great that
the entire world will rest in its shade.
When there are so many enemies and tyrants, how can we grow, sir?
His Holiness says thus in Surah Al Imran:
"Do not be swayed to fallacies when faced with
how the infidels roam these lands with such freedom.
For their joy in this world will be shallow and short.
And they will inevitably go to hell."
Oh, what a scary place hell is.
Fate likes zeal.
Zeal from your mouth, your heart...
...your swords, and your minds.
And from Ertuğrul Bey, the bey of all the beys.
Open the door!
I said open it!
I will talk to Bamsi.
Helena!
Helena! Helena!
Don't put us in a tricky situation, miss!
Helena!
Bamsi! Bamsi!
I will speak with Governor Vasilius.
I will get you out of there!
Wait for me.
I am, Helena, and I will.
Helena!
Bamsi, huh?
Listen to me now, Turk!
Women have a way of fucking over even the bravest of warriors.
You beast! What would you know of love?
I have many a brother.
No, I have a brother.
His name is Doğan.
Once, he told me that love does not weaken a man.
It shields him.
Such a wise man.
No...
He's not so wise.
As a matter of fact, he's a bit lax.
And a bit empty-headed like me.
However, we don't see women as devils, like you;
not me, not my brothers.
Women, they are our beloveds.
They are our love.
They are the mothers that bring up brave men.
And heaven lies underneath the feet of mothers.
What use would we have without them?
You will come to understand me.
But it will be too late.
In your dreams!
Who knows what boorishness you did for her to fuck you over.
And you are still bitter about it.
Oh no!
What do we do?
Do something!
What are you waiting for? Go tell Ertuğrul Bey.
Go tell him that they imprisoned Bamsi. He must come.
Calm down.
What if they execute Bamsi?
Stop tempting fate.
He didn't do anything worthy of execution.
Let me go sound out the soldiers.
Let's see where he is and how long he will stay there.
What would I tell Ertuğrul Bey? Let me at least find out the truth.
Wait!
Let me handle that. I know how to make them talk.
Listen.
The sound of gold is the best sound ever.
No soldier can say no.
Welcome, Helena.
I came here to talk about the imprisoned Bamsi, Governor Vasilius.
So...
...you are here for Bamsi.
I wish you, too, could see just how dangerous Turks are, Helena.
Bamsi...
means no harm.
He saved my life.
And you threw him in jail just because he talked to me.
I was just repaying someone I was indebted to, that's all.
Right.
He was creeping around you too much.
And that annoyed me.
Plus...
...nobody dares put on a scene
in my fortress and hurt my men.
Nothing could come from creeping around me.
I'm putting up with him only because he saved my life.
Plus...
I...
You what?
I was thinking about your proposal, Vasilius.
And what's your decision?
I will marry you.
Now, that puts me in high spirits.
You have made me euphoric, Helena.
But I need you to do something.
Let Bamsi go. And if he comes here again,
you may punish him as you like.
If your pure heart would be at peace this way,
then, I will gladly let that sheepherder go.
I talked to a soldier.
The prison is seven floors under the ground.
There's only one entrance.
It's impossible to get in there.
We can't wait anymore.
We must let Ertuğrul Bey know.
The soldier said if he was thrown there,
then he would not be getting out. What do we do?
If that's the case,
then, Ertuğrul Bey will get him out by force.
Welcome back, bey.
Thank you, Günküt.
-Where did you see Aslıhan's horse? -Just at the bottom of the valley, sir.
We can oversee the roads coming down
from the valley and the footpaths if we hold these two commanding heights.
Vasilius' men will probably use
one of these paths to retrieve Aslıhan Hatun.
Samsa!
Günküt.
You two will hold the hill over there.
Turgut and I will hold this hill.
Yes, Bey.
As you wish, sir.
Helena!
I knew you would come.
Pay no mind to that man.
He's a nutcase, a lunatic. You just talk to me.
I talked to the Governor Vasilius.
He agreed to let you go.
You can go back.
God bless you!
I knew you wouldn't leave me in this rat hole.
There's something else that I must tell you.
Well, say it.
You will not come back to this fort.
What?
You can't come back to this fort to see me anymore.
I will marry the Governor Vasilius.
We will hold the ceremony soon.
Tell Ertuğrul Bey that
I'm grateful for all his efforts on behalf of me and my father.
And you go marry a woman from your tribe.
And find happiness.
May God protect you, Bamsi.
Helena!
I wish you had left me here to rot away.
Death would be like honey to me.
Now that you have said all that,
you have become my prison.
Bamsi...
Let me go.
Guards, open the door!
What is it, Turk?
The woman for whom you lay down the heavens, laid you to waste now, huh?
I told you that women were the devil incarnate.
Look at you, a slave to the devil.
Not even the flames of hell can save you from that devil.
Even I pity you now.
Shut your trap!
Shut it!
Or I won't be responsible for what happens.
Shut your trap!
Here is their response, sir.
Come before sunset and receive the Public Market.
We will talk at length for peace
and have dinner together.
Now I have got hold of your reins, Emir Sadettin.
Now that I hold your reins, I will make you beg.
I will make you lick my boots awash with the blood of Turks.
The Public Market will be the death
of all Turks, as well as Ertuğrul.
Get Aslıhan from that hole and bring her to the inn.
Yes, sir.
God!
Thank God he is safe.
How is that possible?
Why did they take him?
And why would they release him?
They must have made a mistake.
When they realized it, they must have let him go.
Something is amiss here.
Shoo, now.
If I see you around here, consider yourself dead.
Let's take the crates inside.
Now...
Give back my swords.
No swords for you.
Now, if you don't want to end up back in jail, go away.
I will take back my swords.
Make no mistake, I will.
Greetings.
Hello, old man.
Can you give me a cup of water?
Water? But of course!
Water! Polin, bring him water. Come, sit here.
72 soldiers.
40 spears.
Blood oozing out.
God, let me suffer more.
Feed the flames of revenge with my pain.
72 soldiers.
40 spears.
Blood oozing out...
God, let me suffer more.
Feed the flames of revenge with my pain.
72 soldiers...
Our brothers are falling one by one, Teo.
The Turks are getting stronger by the day.
And you?
You suffer.
Isn't it enough?
It is.
You have suffered enough.
Stop grieving over your men.
Get up and avenge them.
The good man you left behind, merciless warriors are waiting for him.
They are burning for revenge.
Yearning to fight arm in arm with you.
All thirsty for blood.
You have suffered enough.
The time has come.
Do you know why I put the Turk that just left freely
in the same cell as you?
Huh?
So that you may see just how cocky they have become!
Do you know how many of my men that Turk killed?
It's time for revenge, Teo.
You have suffered enough.
It's here, Commander.
Konur Bey...
Rest in peace.
What do we do now, sir?
We will not move a muscle before we get orders from Aliyar Bey.
Bury the body in secret.
Go on.
Your sword...
I doted upon it.
However,
what good is it if it doesn't feed on blood? It'll just rust away.
Our empire needs you, Teo.
I need you.
Get up, and fight with me.
Teo, get up!
Get up and fight with me!
Keep my sword.
I will not touch it until I deserve it again.
The great Commander Teo...
...is back for revenge.
These hands are the holiest of weapons.
Do you want to hear your first mission?
Go catch that Turk!
I will need him.
