Dear God...
I did what I did to stop any more bloodshed.
Help me, and protect me from the cruelty of Vasilius.
Helena!
Vasilius.
Come in.
Let me show you something.
Our empress sent this to us
as a wedding gift.
What's wrong?
Aren't you excited?
Well, I am excited.
However, these problems...
When will it all end?
When will you start arranging our wedding?
You have been neglecting me too much.
Helena, betrayal...
would be the greatest catastrophe
for a commander such as I.
I was betrayed.
What happened?
Ertuğrul murdered my best men.
He somehow managed to get his hands on the weapons
that I ordered for the safety of our fort.
I'm sorry.
You can't give up now.
You are strong.
You can find more supplies.
First, I have to find the traitor,
or I will lose
at every step I take.
Find whoever did this to you, Vasilius.
So that
they may beg for death as they would beg
for water in desert.
So that they may beg for you to kill them.
Will you come to the church tomorrow
for the preparations?
I trust in you
to organize a wedding ceremony worthy of me,
Governor Vasilius.
Make time for us as well.
I can't do it without you.
Men!
Gather around.
My soldiers!
My brave men!
I've important things to tell you.
Listen to me well.
The supplies we won from Vasilius
will be the lifeline of all Turkmen tribes.
That's why, tomorrow, we will take
all the supplies to Turkmen tribes via the Wolf Strait.
Ertuğrul Bey will be coming with us.
We'll decide who comes tonight.
Now, keep training!
Thank you.
I was inappropriate, was I?
She's making me pay for her hatred towards my father.
I'll make you eat those words,
Halime Hatun.
Make no mistake.
Blessed be your victory, sir.
Everybody is talking about how you won against the heathens.
Soldiers from both tribes fought well.
At last, our alliance bears fruit.
Thank God.
God bless you all.
Günyeli Hatun, sadness
is oozing out of your eyes.
It's nothing, sir.
I just...
-Excuse me. -Tell me for God's sake.
Is it because of me?
After all this suffering,
there are still people trying to stoke
the flame of hatred between our tribes.
It pains me so.
What do you mean, Günyeli Hatun?
My father was devoted to Candar Bey.
He pledged to Ural Bey
only after he passed away.
That's why they are persecuting my father.
Considering the love and devotion my father showed to Candar Bey...
It's not fair.
It ruined my father's reputation and now it's ruining mine.
They shouldn't be opening up old wounds.
Who was it?
It doesn't matter anymore.
I can't bring myself to like them anymore.
When our tribes unite, I hope to God that it changes.
Who is it?
Tell me.
Halime Hatun.
Ertuğrul Bey, dark clouds are gathering over my tribe.
Traitors turn up everywhere
just as we are starting to thrive and prosper.
Vasilius won't stop with Ural. He will use the Turkmen beys
that he can manipulate through Ural.
That's why, if we let Ural be, his henchmen will be free.
Ural will keep working in the shadows.
He'll manipulate other beys.
We must keep watch on the other Turkmen tribes.
We have men loyal to us in neighboring tribes, Ertuğrul Bey.
I will get in touch with them,
and tell them to keep watch on the opposing beys.
Sir.
Traitor Yağız
went first to Acar Bey's tent.
After that, he fled.
That dog...
must have thought though what to tell his master.
They've taken our bait. The rest is up to us, Aliyar Bey.
Let us head for the tribe before sunset.
If you will excuse me.
Sure.
May God help you,
and grant you victory.
Amen, Aliyar Bey.
Let's go.
Afşin Bey.
Ural Bey!
My old friend.
I was hoping I would see you again.
Thank you.
Ertuğrul's lost his mind.
I'm afraid he'll get us all killed going after hopeless fantasies.
That's what I wanted to talk about.
We can't let it happen.
The intentions of our sultan are clear, he will begin soon on his conquest.
However, when he comes with his army,
if he finds Ertuğrul and Aliyar
as our leader, and not us, we will be in some deep trouble.
What do you propose?
Take those beys who think the same as us, and bring them.
Tell them to leave the camp in secret as if they were going hunting.
If we don't want Ertuğrul and Aliyar to get the icing of these lands,
then we have to fight together.
Ertuğrul promised gold and power to the beys.
He has the inn, the Bazaar.
What about us?
We have enough gold
for all Turkmen beys to bask in its glory.
Don't you worry.
Yağız Alp.
Why are you here?
Acar Bey told me you would be here, sir.
-I brought you important news. -Tell me.
Aliyar Bey and Ertuğrul Bey
will distribute the weapons they took from Governor Vasilius
among other tribes.
Where will they move those supplies?
They will go through the Wolf Strait, sir.
Good. Well done, Yağız Alp.
Fantastic job.
Here, brother.
I had them bring pastrami for you.
Thank you, but no, brother.
There is honey, don't you like it?
No, brother, thank you.
Enjoy yourself.
Thank you.
What about some grape jam?
I said no, brother, thank you.
Enjoy yourselves, don't mind me.
There'll be war tomorrow, Bamsi.
Huh?
Did you say war, sir?
Now, that I'd like.
I want to slay some heathens.
Revenge, sir. I want revenge.
Then eat up, brother.
Then, I shall eat.
I shall eat, then.
Eat and build up your strength.
Build up my strength.
We shall grow stronger, brother.
-Here. -Thanks.
Thanks, brother.
Appreciate it.
I will...
I will eat you like this as well, Teo.
I will eat you just like this.
Turgut, is everyone ready?
There're waiting for your orders, sir.
Good.
Thank you.
Praise be!
Dear...
You look absent-minded.
Mother...
I'm worried about what happened with Günyeli Hatun.
You might think I'm delusional.
But I think Dündar Bey is not on the right track.
What did he do wrong?
He's different.
He's been daydreaming lately.
He seems to be blinded by love.
If this keeps up, he will be in complete control of Günyeli Hatun.
Dear,
Dündar is a bey.
He has matured.
He's young as well.
However, he's a responsible man.
If he was so responsible,
then why did he raise his hands on his own men?
What are you saying, Halime?
These words of yours would put a wedge between the brothers, right?
You're talking out of your hatred for Günyeli Hatun.
Forget Dündar, come to your senses first.
We suspect Acar Bey because he's close to Ural.
But we can't hold the child responsible for the sins of their fathers.
Talking before making sure
is not befitting you.
That's all.
Drink this, Father.
Thank you, my dear.
Günyeli.
Ever since we lost your mother, you have been taking care of us.
And there'll come a time when you have to go.
Father...
Does he like you?
Yes, he does.
But the decision is up to you, Father.
Don't trust the Kayis.
Make Dündar fall for you.
However,
do not fall for him.
If need be,
we will conquer them from within.
We must know what they are up to.
Don't worry, Father.
I'll do whatever it takes for you and our tribe.
Excuse me, Governor.
Come in.
Did you talk to Afşin?
It went better than I expected.
I'll talk to the other beys of both tribes tomorrow.
Aliyar will soon fall into my trap.
I won't need your soldiers either.
Just bear with me a few more days.
We will see, Ural Bey.
Won't you eat these?
Well...
For me, revenge is best served cold, Ural.
Then,
let me set the dinner table for you.
I found out where Ertuğrul is taking the weapons he stole.
He will distribute them among his loyal beys.
They are preparing to attack my fort.
Tomorrow, the caravan...
will leave the Cavdar Tribe, and...
pass through the Wolf Strait.
Ertuğrul will lead them personally.
Consider what I told you about Helena, Governor.
Does anybody else know about this?
No.
Then I will tell Helena.
At last, the great Governor started
paying due regard to the words of his old friend Ural.
Ural Bey, do you know what the Byzantines
learned best after you lot came to these lands?
Betrayal and how to do it.
Welcome back.
Thank you, Halime.
Let me help you.
What's that face, Halime?
Why the long face?
It's nothing.
I'm just tired is all.
I'm okay.
Well, then.
I thought something was wrong.
Halime, you must be awfully tired.
You don't even look at me.
Bey...
brothers want the best for each other, right?
Sure.
Today, I wanted to warn brother Dündar for his own good,
but was scolded by Hayme.
I see that I'm still just your wife,
and not a daughter to this family.
God, Halime.
You are the queen of my heart.
You are the owner of this marquee.
Mother Hayme can't have scolded you, but
showed you the right way.
Tell me what happened.
Dündar Bey fell for a girl from the rug house.
Her name is Günyeli.
However, that woman...
is the daughter of Acar Bey, the right hand of Ural.
So, you don't want another Selcan Hatun here.
I'm scared, I don't know what to do.
I'm worried about the unity of our tribes.
Halime Sultan.
If a woman could destroy
the unity of our tribes single-handedly,
it means neither the tribes nor the brothers were any good.
Don't worry about it.
Helena, it's me. Open up.
Vasilius.
I wanted to kiss you good night.
You look happy.
At last I'm in good spirits.
Seeing you happy is so great.
What makes you so happy?
Won't you come in?
I'll take back what those Turks stole from me.
Want to know how?
I'll ambush them at the Wolf Strait.
Ertuğrul will be there as well.
I'll take revenge for all the men they killed...
from him and his men.
Blessed be your victory, Vasilius.
Have a good night,
and sleep tight.
Likewise.
Bamsi...
Ertuğrul...
May God protect them.
One day, it will all cease.
This pain you are going through, the tears that you shed...
It'll end soon.
My father that I used to play games with died.
My child that I couldn't even touch died.
Even if this pain ceases,
I can't forget these, Ural.
As I was rotting away in Ertuğrul's jail,
I found out that both my child and my father passed away.
Then, I swore!
I swore that I'd make those responsible pay a thousand-fold.
That I would shed no tears.
We can't shed tears until we take our revenge.
We can't grieve!
We can't lament!
We can't give up, Çolpan!
Then, until Ertuğrul's child dies,
and we take revenge for my father, I won't shed tears either.
Now...
As I deal with Ertuğrul,
you work out how to avenge your father.
I want to know what Helena does...
at every step she takes.
So that our pain...
may be the end of this fort.
Teo.
Come, eat.
We will take back our weapons tomorrow.
I'm delighted to hear that.
I hope this isn't another trap.
Ural gave me this information. Other than him and you,
only Helena knows.
Why is that?
I want to find out whether she works with Ertuğrul.
Why would she betray you and our emperor?
If Ertuğrul believes that I killed her father, then...
she would do anything.
So that means,
you are sending me to a trap.
Ertuğrul thinks he set up a trap for us, but it will be you who sets him up.
Commander.
Keep watch on Helena.
Have your men follow her. I want to know who she talks with,
and everything she does.
As you wish, sir.
Bismillah.
I'm coming.
-Assalamu alaykum. -Wa alaykum assalam.
Wa alaykum assalam.
Welcome. Wouldn't you like to sit?
Thank you.
I was just reading
the great Hegira of our prophet from Mecca to Medina.
As I kept reading, I saw once again...
the depth of meaning,
the great teachings and miracles in Hegira.
Life was unbearable for both Muslims and our prophet
after what happened in Mecca.
Our prophet told his subjects to go to Medina.
He was waiting for a holy decree to go as well.
The heathens knew the wanted to leave
Mecca as well.
The heathens gathered 100 armed men from every tribe,
and swarmed the house of our prophet.
Archangel Gabriel arrived...
and told him that the heathens were going to ambush him.
He warned him against sleeping in his bed at night.
Upon hearing this, he called prophet Ali.
He told him to sleep in his bed,
and cover himself with the green, large coat of his.
When the armed men surrounded him,
he shot out of the house,
and threw them a handful of dirt that he took from the ground.
He walked away chanting the verses of Surah Yaseen.
God veiled the eyes of the heathens
to protect his beloved,
and nobody saw him.
When the time was right,
they swarmed the prophet's house.
They pulled the cover from the bed,
they were bewildered upon the scene they witnessed.
Because it was prophet Ali that was lying in the bed of Muhammad.
They asked Ali where Muhammad was.
Ali said, "You wanted him out of these lands,
so he left his home with the help of God."
The heathens were taken aback by what just happened.
After all, the trap they set up was busted.
So, God said thus in Surah Al-Anfal
about what happened,
"Just as the heathens were setting up their trap
to arrest you, kill you, or exile you from Mecca,
God set them up as well.
God is the most auspicious trapper."
Ertuğrul Bey,
as our holy book Quran dictates,
there are many lessons to be learned from the life of our prophet.
So, it's our duty to learn from his examples, and implement them to our lives.
Now, as a bey,
you, too, will set up traps to protect
those lives you are entrusted with.
However, you shall not sway from the will of God.
May God help us walk in the path of our prophet.
As he's our only leader and guide.
We will walk in his path, and do as he did.
God help you on your journey.
Amen.
