Our men are waiting for you at the entrance, sir.
I'm leaving this place in your hands, Doğan and Kutluca.
As well my sister, Aslıhan.
-May God help you. -Thank you.
May God bless your battle with victory. I will be praying for you.
Thank you, sister.
All right, brothers.
Sir, we have been waiting here since yesterday, as per your orders.
Not a soul has crossed by here, let alone a caravan.
Good.
So, we are not late.
-As salaam alaikum, sir. -Wa alaikum as salaam, Aliyar Bey.
Are you sure they will be using this route to get to the fort?
I'm certain, Aliyar Bey.
We scared Vasilius the other day when his commanders died.
If he put his most trusted men in charge of the caravan going to the Nicaea,
then they won't be using the main route.
You are right.
Take position across the road.
We will attack first when they come.
If there is an ambush,
-I'm leaving it to you. -Of course.
Kirca, tell your men to climb up the hill.
-Have them wait for my orders. -Yes, sir.
-May God help you, sir. -Ameen, and likewise.
-Thank you. -Samsa.
Inform all the alps who are coming here.
Are you all right, Bamsi? You look restless.
Sir, you know how they say your palms itch before you get money?
My swords are itching just like that.
I can hardly contain them in their sheaths.
Excuse us.
-Were you seen? -No, sir.
Acar Bey sent me to tell you something important.
-What is it? -Ertuğrul Bey
-set up a trap with Aliyar Bey. -What trap?
They will ambush a caravan coming from Nicaea.
Nicaea, huh?
Good. Go back to the camp.
Be on the lookout. Tell the others that I'll be back soon.
-Tell the alps to ready themselves. -Yes, sir.
Commander!
Yes, sir.
Assess the amount of weaponry and manpower at the fort.
-I want an exact number. -Yes, sir.
-Sir, Ural Bey is here. -Let him in.
What, Ural Bey?
Governor, the caravan from Nicaea...
How do you know about it?
Not me, it's Ertuğrul that knows about it.
And so does Aliyar.
Both are already on the way to ambush the caravan.
-I thought you would like to know. -Commander!
Commander!
Gather a unit right away, we are going.
Governor Vasilius,
it might be a trap. You might actually die,
then the fort will be defenseless.
-Go quickly and stop that ambush. -As you wish.
Who are you, stranger?
Come on!
Men!
This is the man called Teo, sir.
Come now, you won't get away this time.
I'll take you on, ye fool in love.
Ertuğrul Bey, you will all die here.
You fell in my trap.
O God!
Help those gallant men fighting to honor your name.
Grant them victory,
and allow them to practice the laws of battle of our prophet.
Grant them swords as sharp as prophet Ali's.
Just as you didn't let your believers down at the Battle of Badr,
do not let them down either.
We trust you with the lives of those that set aside...
their lives for this holy cause.
For sure, you protect those that are trusted in you.
In honor of our great prophet,
accept our prayers, O God!
Ameen.
O God!
O merciful God!
O mighty God!
O Fettah!
O Muiz!
O God!
O merciful God!
O mighty God!
O Fettah!
O Muiz!
O God!
O merciful God!
O mighty God!
O Fettah!
O Muiz!
O God!
I will crush you like an ant!
-I've missed fighting arm in arm with you! -Me too, little brother.
Well done!
Excellent job.
Good job, everybody!
Gather the weapons.
Take what you can and burn the rest.
Victory is ours! Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
The traitor is back.
-Who is it? -Yağız Alp.
-Where is he? -Went to his tent.
Keep watching him.
Ertuğrul Bey and Aliyar Bey will decide what to do when they are back.
I'll be watching the tent.
Here we will...
pair these two together and these two together.
Mother Hayme.
A woman has made a mess of her design.
You are right, good thing you noticed.
Hey, tie a knot every three lines. Don't forget the lycopod either.
I understand, Mother Hayme.
Right on.
Halime Hatun, are you taking these patterns to Mother Hayme?
Yes, why did you ask?
Don't trouble yourself, let me do it.
No need, I can do it myself.
I'd like to help. The sooner we get it done, the better.
Gunyeli Hatun, I'm fast enough.
Don't worry about it.
-Mother. -Yes, dear.
We finished the patterns.
We'd like to weave the rosebuds now, should you permit it.
We'll do them around the borders.
We have these as well.
Beautiful. Do it, my dear.
However,
don't you think it'd make more sense to do thorns around the borders?
No rose without thorns, after all.
Of course.
However, the thorns of this specific rose are hidden, Gunyeli Hatun.
It pricks but you can't see it.
Those eager to see, can and will see it.
That's why I didn't put thorns in this pattern.
Okay, my dear. Take it.
Teo.
Don't tell me you've lost the weapons.
Vasilius.
Don't blame your men.
If there is anyone to blame, it's the traitor that tipped Ertuğrul off.
I will find the traitor and kill them with my own hands.
Vasilius.
Don't look far, focus on those who are close to you.
Otherwise Ertuğrul will win many more battles.
Welcome back, sir.
God bless your victory!
God bless you all!
God bless your victory! Welcome!
Welcome!
God bless your victory! God bless you all!
Thank God my man is back.
-Wonderful! -May God never separate them.
God bless your victory!
Welcome back, everybody!
Thank God. May your victory be everlasting.
God bless you all!
Welcome back, son. God bless your victory.
Thank you, Mother, thank you.
Welcome back, brother. God bless your victory.
Thank you, sister.
Sir, we followed your orders...
and found out who the traitor is.
Thank you, Abdur Rahman.
Brave warriors and daughters of my tribe!
Thank God we have won yet another victory against the heathens.
The weapons they would have used to spill our blood...
are now our prize.
God bless you, sir! May God grant us even more opportunities.
God bless your victory!
God bless you!
Thank heavens you are back, sir!
-Blessed be your victory! -Blessed be your victory, sir!
Thank heavens!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Could arrows of the cruel pierce our hearts full of faith?
Could ambushes stop the devoted followers of God from the path he opened?
Could all of these desperate schemes save these lands...
from the march of us Turks?
We swore to establish the holy order,
to rescue those oppressed suffering at the hands of the cruel,
and to spread God's justice to the entire world!
Once Turks swear, they will die to honor their promise!
Once Turks set their eyes on the enemy, they will not stop until they win!
Our father Alp Arslan didn't give up. Well, we won't give up either!
He opened a path reaching from the east to the west with his sword.
That path is our future.
It has no ends, no borders.
So long as we breathe, we will keep walking down that path!
We will establish the holy order and spread justice to the world!
If they say we are too weak, we will show them our faith.
If they say you are not clever enough, we will show them our will of steel!
If they say you won't live long enough, we will show them our great history!
If they say you can't live on these lands,
we will show that we have God's approval!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey! Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
What are you thinking, Governor?
I'm thinking whether to take Ertuğrul's head or carve his eyes out.
He cut off your head when he took your supplies.
But I still have my heart and my mind intact.
I will carve his eyes out...
so that he may not find the strength to attack me again.
He will only get stronger now that he has those supplies.
We must take revenge right away!
If we don't pay them back, all our men will desert out of fear.
First, find the traitor in your fort.
We will lure the traitor out.
As long as you aim the trap at those close to you.
Is there someone in particular that you're thinking of?
Treachery appears in the most unexpected people.
Sometimes it's your aide, or your bridesmaid.
And other times, it's the woman you love.
-As salaam alaikum. -Wa alaikum as salaam.
I heard about your victory, sir. God bless your victory.
Thank you, Artuk Bey.
The prize was tremendous, my brothers.
We will use these weapons in our road to victory.
Out of the hands of the heathens, and back into their hearts.
We just need to find enough men to hold those weapons.
You are right, Ertuğrul Bey. We need loyal men for the war.
If we don't root out the traitors, we will be in trouble.
That bastard Yağız turned up in our tribe and stabbed us in the back.
There will be no soldiers, no beys, no tribes left if they keep turning up.
Aliyar Bey, nothing but treason could stop the Turks.
This has been our curse since the time of our forefathers.
The enemy has been pitting us against each other for so long.
We will put an end to it, Artuk Bey.
-Kutluca. -Yes, sir.
Tie that bastard up and drag him to the center of the camp.
I will execute him myself to make an example.
-As you wish, sir. -Hold on, Aliyar Bey.
If that bastard is going to die,
then we must first make him repay us for his crimes.
What use would he be to us?
He will be useful, Aliyar Bey.
Listen to me now.
Where did I put it again?
Gosh!
Where are those engravings?
My god! Where are they?
What are you looking for, Halime Hatun?
I readied some engravings to give to the women, but I can't find them.
I handed them out to them early in the morning, Halime Hatun.
Well done, my dear.
Gunyeli, how dare you touch my box?
I didn't want the women to be idling about while you were on the way, Halime Hatun.
-Forgive me. I meant no harm. -That's my personal box.
Did your parents forget to teach you manners?
You should know better than to touch somebody else's belongings.
Halime, slow down, dear.
Why are you so angry? Just what's inside that box of yours?
Poor girl just wanted to help.
Mother, today it's my box, and tomorrow it'll be my tent.
What's this intimacy?
Now, tell me.
How did you know I kept those engravings in that box?
Have you been watching me?
Mother Hayme, excuse me.
Halime Hatun...
I know you don't like her, and you don't trust her.
But if you keep this up it will only make matters worse.
I don't want her friendship, nor her father's, and nor her family's.
Halime, come to your senses.
You are right, Gunyeli Hatun was wrong
to touch your belongings.
However, you should leave it to me. I'll do what's necessary.
It won't do, Mother Hayme.
Let me have Gunyeli Hatun do something else,
or it will keep getting worse.
No, my dear.
Halime Hatun must endure this test.
It's easy to lose a person's trust. What's difficult is to win it.
That bastard Yağız's goal is to inform Ural of everything.
In that case, let us fill him with a load of horse crap.
Let us make a plan that he can tell Ural about,
and lure them both into our trap.
Both Ural and Vasilius will be especially vigilant, Ertuğrul Bey.
We took their supplies and ruined their home.
They trust no one now.
And that will be the end of him, Aliyar Bey.
Fear has rendered many a great leader helpless, and caused them to fail.
His thirst for revenge is his weakness.
Vasilius must know that we will give the weapons to other Turkmen tribes.
Once we feed him this lie,
he will come both for his weapons and his revenge.
However, when he attacks the caravan, he will find no supplies, and no revenge.
He will only find us.
I will crush that bastard Teo and his cowardly men.
But don't let him get away this time, all right?
We will make sure Vasilius knows that there will be no peace for him here.
Then...
may God bless us with victory, Ertuğrul Bey.
Ameen, Aliyar Bey.
Doğan, Kutluca, and Abdur Rahman.
Inform the men at the barracks.
Tell them that we will be distributing Vasilius' weapons
to Turkmen tribes tomorrow morning.
And that Ertuğrul Bey will be with them, so they should be ready.
Make sure that bastard Yağız hears you loud and clear.
Send someone to the fort.
Let Haçaturyan and Dumrul know what's about to happen.
