Prepare the horses, I'll collapse the inn around Simon.
Yes, sir.
Simon showed his last hand.
First the knife, and now this.
One of us has to die, it's the only way.
How will you explain this to your father?
I'll tell him that...
I found out it was Simon that killed Toktamış.
Besides, Maria prepared the poison, and the evidence is there.
I'll have him believe me.
One of us dies.
There's no time to lose.
KAYI TRIBE
We owe her the lives of all our sons.
Tend to our guest, Halime Sultan.
I understand. Here.
I'm overjoyed to see you alive and well.
Apologies for not believing you.
Thanks to you, I got my son back as well.
May God be with you.
Let's head to the healing tent and have Ishak tend to your wounds.
Thank you, I'm alright.
It'd be best if I left now.
Wouldn't you like to drink a cup of ayran while we prepare the horse?
Come.
Kaya.
Take three alps with you.
Follow Amanda.
Yes, sir.
You'll go to the market.
Tell me if you see Turgut.
I want to know every step Amanda takes.
Yes, sir.
-Artuk Bey. -Yes, sir?
Prepare 20 men.
-I'll talk to them before the meeting. -As you wish, sir.
I'm coming too, brother.
Think I got rusty, boy?
Of course you're coming.
You are an alp.
You must come.
Why did they let her go?
They freed her.
Let's go.
Go back now.
Sir.
Men!
Aktolgali.
In peace, you're my brother, in war, my comrade.
Half the time...
we breeze through the Steppes.
The rest of the time...
we put an end to our foes.
We drank from every spring.
We set foot on every piece of land.
We hunted every game there is.
I miss those carefree days.
Who knew it'd be this hard?
I shoulder the holy mission I received from my father,
Suleyman Shah.
The enemy are hard on our backs.
Enough of this mess that rusted my sword, Aktolgali.
I've come to miss enemies that I could fight properly.
Now,
I must steel my nerves,
and with my foes as the hammer,
I must get stronger
with every hit, and become sharp enough to cut their throats.
Now, my sword shall become my path,
Mother Earth, my blanket,
and the heavens, my confidant.
Bask in my glory, Aktolgali.
I, Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah,
before taking my revenge,
before I light up the hopes of my people,
before I do right by my tribe, shall not die.
PUBLIC MARKET
Come, sit with us, Bartalmay.
I'd hate to offend you, Master Simon.
I'm overjoyed today. Come, eat with us.
To what do I owe this honor, Master Simon?
We owe it to the war Ertuğrul shall soon wage on the Cavdars.
The Kayis might be a small tribe,
but Ertuğrul's men will not yield to the Cavdars easily.
Who wants them to yield, anyway?
Let the lot of them wipe each other off the face of the world.
We'll keep trading with both tribes.
Amanda.
At last she was good for something.
Speaking of trades, excuse me, Master Simon.
I shall head for the market.
Goodbye, Merchant Hasan.
-Check out my colorful clothes! -Spice seller is here.
Come, see my silk clothes.
How much is it?
-Take... -Right away, sir.
Beautiful clothes.
Boy, can you give me a hand?
Spice seller is here. Who wants some spice?
What's it, Samsa?
Ertuğrul Bey let Amanda go.
He wants to know who she works with, and why.
If she comes here to talk to anyone
he said he wanted to know.
Okay.
You're back early.
-Turgut... -What about Turgut?
Met with an alp from Kayis.
Ertuğrul let Amanda go, apparently.
And she's being followed.
He had Turgut watch Amanda.
And you said you'd know if he left the room, huh?
He's been playing us from the very beginning!
Did his bed keep you that warm?
So we were ambushed by him as well.
Damn it!
Turgut knows everything.
The secret passage, the letter Sadettin Kopek sent us, everything!
It's all upside down again!
Allow me to...
Ertuğrul was a step ahead of us.
So it was thanks to Turgut.
We'll be in danger as long as that traitor lives, Master Simon.
Allow me to
cut out his heart and give it to you.
No, Philip.
I'll have Turgut do one last thing for us.
He'll kill Ertuğrul.
It's obvious that she's waiting for someone.
Ural.
Ural Bey.
What are you out here for? How did you get away?
I didn't, he let me go.
He was fooled by our plan.
Come with me.
Come here.
You fool!
Ertuğrul used you as bait.
Would he let you go if he didn't know you'd come to me?
No, Ural. He thinks it was Simon.
Let him.
I'm not leaving it to chance.
Batuhan!
Ertuğrul must have sent men to follow her.
No one can know Amanda came to see me. Send your men to search around.
Let's go back to the settlement.
There they are!
Don't let them go!
You wait here.
Let's go!
My brothers!
It's done. Don't leave our dead behind. Be quick.
-We got rid of them, sir. -Good.
Get ready, we'll be at the inn when the sun sets.
God, give me strength!
Oh, how I love you, my darling.
God answered our prayers.
He spared us our son.
What would I do if something happened to you?
Don't think about it, Halime Sultan.
What would our son do without you?
I wouldn't know.
I've never heard you say that, though.
Besides, it's common practice among men to find a second wife.
I know my wife well enough
to know when she's implying something.
I'm not implying anything.
Why would I do that?
If I disappeared,
you'd just get another woman,
and have her nurture Gündüz. Did you think I'd say this?
Who knows?
However, you seem to be enjoying the idea of it.
They say a man
can survive the strike of his enemy,
but not the cruelty of his wife.
Who knows?
Maybe you'll even get a woman
while I'm alive and well.
After all, women from other tribes are eyeing you.
Expect no charity from the strangers.
Lean on support from no one but
your own kin.
Only death may part those
of the same blood.
I have decided.
I'll have Aslıhan bind us
with the Kayi inseparably.
Well thought, father.
I'm sure my sister would be happy to marry
a brave
and valiant warrior
from the Kayi Tribe.
I'll talk this over with Aslıhan.
Who will you have her marry, father?
Dündar Bey?
No, Ertuğrul Bey.
What?
Yes, with Ertuğrul Bey.
Ertuğrul is a true Kayi.
Father, alright, but...
Ertuğrul Bey is already married.
Not to mention his children.
I know.
His first wife is the niece of Sultan Alaeddin.
My sister...
Do you think she'd accept that?
I'll talk to her.
However...
Ertuğrul Bey is no ordinary man.
It's up to you, father.
However,
Dündar Bey is a son of Suleyman Shah as well.
He's not married either.
They call Dündar a bey
because Ertuğrul is a bey.
Ertuğrul is much too young.
He'll be the head of the Kayi for years to come.
We can't wait for Dündar to be the head
of Kayis to get a hold of their tribe.
It's up to you, father.
However...
what would my brother say?
It's no secret that they don't get along well.
With this marriage,
Ural shall obtain the glory and power he's been after.
I'm sure he'll support the idea.
Still no news from Amanda?
Let's hope she was dumb enough to go to Ural.
Ural would kill her.
What's important is that Ertuğrul finds out who she meets.
That's all that matters.
Batuhan.
Hold the door with your men.
Let no one in.
Amanda is dead.
Found with three other bodies.
Looks like Kayi soldiers, Master Simon.
Ural...
It's your last supper, Simon.
Eat. Don't die hungry.
Such an emotional man you are, Ural.
What were you lead to believe again, huh?
Did you think you could make us fight
with Ertuğrul by giving him
Amanda?
How could I make Ertuğrul fight you by giving him Amanda?
I don't understand.
Enough!
Hold!
His Highness Abu Nakkas.
I hope I'm not interrupting as you kill each other.
Get out.
-What's this, Maria? -Come with me.
While you are fighting among yourselves
Sultan Alaeddin is planning on allowing Ertuğrul to rule
the lands as far as Engurek.
While Karacahisar and the keep
are still in the hands of the Byzantines?
The Sultan
is not aware how big of a mistake he's making.
Ertuğrul is but a speck of dust, sir.
However strong he might be,
he can't possibly imagine invading Karacahisar with
a mere 400 tents.
Ertuğrul
is but a pebble
among these huge rocks.
Even a pebble could defeat a man, as they say.
You keep making wrong decisions, Ural.
Instead of going after futile things,
strive to become the head of your tribe.
There will be time for that, sir.
I'll soon take over the Cavdar tribe.
At this rate, you'll soon take your last breath.
The Seljuks
and I need
strong tribe leaders.
The man that stands before me, unable to lead his tribe,
dares to expect to rule these vast lands?
Simon.
You'll do what I say.
Or else Ertuğrul
will bury you alive along with your precious market.
And you'll roll with it.
Rest assured, sir.
I've already signed his death warrant.
Why is Batuhan here?
I thought Simon owned the inn.
I don't want you to get hurt.
Ural Bey is here.
Just another fight over money.
Don't leave this room.
-Did you let the alps know, Artuk Bey? -They are awaiting your orders, sir.
-Sir. -What is it, Abdur Rahman?
Sir.
Kaya.
Son!
Lad! Son!
Lad!
Son!
Son.
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah
and that Muhammad is his servant and messenger.
Kaya!
Lad.
Who did this to you?
Who?
Kaya.
Kaya!
Sir, Ural Bey gets little done, but hurls abuse constantly.
He'd have killed Ertuğrul many times over, if it was up to him.
I hope you don't end up like him.
Don't you worry, sir.
You'll hear of his death by tomorrow if you stay here.
It's not that I'm asking for the death of a Turkmen bey.
However, there is no predicting who meets the grim reaper.
All I care about is
the safety of the Seljuks,
the comfort and fortune of my people.
Every emir would want
that everything in his country
is resolved quietly and discreetly.
Quietly.
Discreetly.
Your death will be quiet and discreet, Ertuğrul Bey.
Quiet.
Discreet.
The Sultan must know about the spy at the palace.
Give this letter to Alfonso, Philip.
He leaves tomorrow.
Alfonso.
