Foreman Haçaturyan.
Brother Dumrul.
Foreman Haçaturyan.
You made Ertuğrul Bey furious by not telling him about Bamsi.
He said he'll be demanding explanations.
-What have we done? -We deserved it.
We were late.
Come now, Turks. The game is just beginning.
We are being attacked!
Prophet Ali says, "Mercy to the cruel is cruel for the innocent."
Even if he is your own brother.
That's why...
Ural must die, else he will stab us in the back one day.
Being bey is no easy feat, Aliyar.
If you kill your own brother it will be in the name of justice.
This is just how God is testing us.
-My condolences, Aliyar Bey. -Thank you.
At last, we meet again Ertuğrul Bey. May our alliance be a long one.
Honorable beys of Turkmen tribes, welcome.
Go ahead, my men will tend to your needs.
Çolpan, quick! Get ready.
-Why the hurry? -Emir Sadettin betrayed us.
We are all alone now. Our lives are in danger.
What do we do? Where do we go?
I don't know, but we will find a way.
Commander.
It's time to put an end to the cruelty.
On the orders of Aliyar Bey, you must catch Ural.
He must die.
-I will check the marquee. -And I will check his tent, sir.
Ural Bey!
Search everywhere!
He's not here, Commander.
He's not getting away, I'll follow him to the end of the earth.
Ural Bey, Kutluca is looking for you. You will be executed.
Aliyar...
Traitor!
Leave now, sir. I will hold them off.
-He's not at the bazaar, Commander. -Not at the barracks either.
-Commander, come quickly. -What happened?
-I saw them going to the Headwaters. -Let's go after them!
Did he vanish into thin air?
You all split up now, I'll let Aliyar Bey know.
Don't you let him get away!
Ertuğrul Bey. Beys of Salur, Chepni, and Kizik still are not present.
Are we going to start without them?
They will come.
They can join us when they are here.
In the 99 names of Allah
who wills us to existence, and fills our hearts with faith.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
There is hope in unity, and suffering in rivalry.
We have been separated by the
damned Mongols, the invasion of the Crusaders, and traitors among us.
Just as blood is thicker than water, we cannot part from our family.
Just as we share the same prayers, same flags, same holy book,
and same beliefs,
we have to share the same goals, and strive for the same cause.
We are honored to hear that.
Unity is important.
-He's right. -Yeah, I agree.
However, as long as there are traitors among us working with the enemy,
-how can we truly be united? -We are going through hard times.
We may have enough weapons, enough faith, and a dream, but
we don't know how to work for the same goal.
He has a point.
Since the time of Alp Arslan, we have been shedding our blood
and dying to keep this heaven as our homeland.
But we need skillful hands that know their way around.
We need friends from among the enemy.
If you believe so, you have the upper hand.
As for the financial issues...
Abdur Rahman.
We will prosper as we share, and perish as we divide.
-God bless you. -God bless you.
God bless you, sir.
-God bless you. -God bless you.
-God bless you, Ertuğrul Bey.
God bless you.
-God bless you. -God bless you.
Commanders.
My commanders.
The Turks stepped out of line.
And Emir Sadettin started supporting Ertuğrul.
This is worse.
Not good at all.
What could we possibly do when the emperor wants no wars?
And even if he does, our army is going through hard times.
The weapons we will be using to fight the Turks should be here soon.
The equipment that caravan brings should suffice to end them.
Now that's good news!
Those supplies should last us a while.
We must begin by breaking up the alliance of Turkmen tribes.
Yeah!
-This is for you, Governor Vasilius. -Leave.
I will not let that happen.
We will ambush them, and take their heads!
We won't let them unite.
This will be our first victory, and it won't be the last.
Long live the emperor! Long live Vasilius!
Helena?
How nice it is to see our honorable commanders happy.
What are we celebrating? I'd like to join you.
But of course.
We're celebrating our victory against the Turks. Those bloody rags you see
signify the end of the unity that Ertuğrul strives for.
And the fall of the Turks.
-What a nice news. -Uh-oh.
At last, victory is ours.
To the fall of the Turks!
Long live the emperor! Long live Vasilius!
The Governor Vasilius has already gathered his commanders.
They are hoping to stir up disagreement between us.
We will raise our flag on Bithynia, Constantinople, Venice,
and even Rome someday.
We believe in this goal.
Just when are we going to be able to do all this, sir?
Will we live long enough to see it?
Afşin Bey, victory belongs to those that take it.
We may not live to see it, but our legacy shall.
We may not reach it ourselves, but our descendants shall.
With respect sir, it seems to me we are waking the sleeping dogs.
It will only disturb the peace.
The Byzantines would destroy your tribe
at the first chance they got, and you think they are our ally?
Don't you realize, we have no one to trust but each other?
-Sir. -What happened, Turgut?
Three beys were ambushed on the way.
They all died along with their alps.
Men!
How could it happen?
If we keep biting more than we can chew, we will die one by one, sir.
One by one.
Whoever fears death
can just put a leash on themselves and be the Byzantines' dog.
I would much rather die with my honor intact
than curl up in fear.
God, please accept my prayers.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Grant me the chance to avenge them.
I'd rather die with my child than see you like this.
Not like we gave up or anything.
Are you holding me in contempt because you think I gave up?
You are all alone.
Everybody turned their backs on you. Even Emir Sadettin.
We ran away in panic.
We didn't run, woman.
We just withdrew to regain our strength.
We are not alone.
I would never give up. Certainly not for
a brother who's a traitor, or the threatening words of Emir Sadettin.
Never!
Be like your man.
Got it?
I always trusted you.
You know best.
Now what?
Vasilius will clear the path for me to become bey.
Orders from our Sultan.
We can't wage war against these ignoble bastards.
But we can't let those beys die in vain either.
What's your plan, Ertuğrul Bey?
If we can't wage war in the open, then we shall fight in secret.
We will sneak in and fight them from inside out.
Doğan, tell me.
Nobody goes out after sunset, sir, only the soldiers patrolling the fort.
At night the commanders either go out on a jaunt or stay to inspect the guards.
There is a winery here. They go there to drink.
The commanders circle around the towers to inspect the guards.
So night time is the best time.
But how do we know who is who?
The upper echelon that Vasilius values the most
report to him every night.
If you see a commander going in, it's them for sure.
-Turgut. -Yes, sir.
Take Samsa with you.
Have Haçaturyan and Dumrul lead you.
Kill those commanders.
Put their bodies on display for Vasilius to see.
As you wish, sir.
Sir!
Ural Bey got away.
-But my men are tracking him down. -We know where he's going, Ertuğrul Bey.
He's out of control. He's looking to cause trouble.
Sir, I will be heading out now.
We are allies now, Ertuğrul Bey. I will have Kutluca and his men go along.
Let us share this victory.
Thank you, Aliyar Bey.
Kutluca, Turgut.
You may not be able to return.
Death would be a reward for us, sir.
It would be an honor.
So long as our flag ripples, and the sound of azan does not cease,
I would die a thousand times over.
Then...
-blessed be our holy war! -Yes.
May God bless our battle with victory.
Amen, sir.
May I enter, Aslihan?
Come in, big brother.
They couldn't find Ural at the camp. He got away.
He will cause even bigger trouble now.
Don't let him escape.
Don't you worry, I sent my men after him.
Let us go back to our tribe. Ertuğrul Bey will be visiting tomorrow.
We will plan our strategy.
May I enter, sir?
Come in, Bamsi.
Come, sit.
If we make a mistake now, the enemy will make us pay dearly, Bamsi.
If we lower our guard, the enemy won't think twice about cutting us.
How did you let it happen?
Love, sir. Love has ruined me.
You are right in everything you say, sir.
You were out of line, Bamsi.
Sir! I wish it hadn't turned out this way. That I hadn't been so absent-minded.
We didn't achieve all this with wishful thinking.
There is no place for wishful thinking and taking chances in our cause.
We are right at the center of hell.
A single moment of weakness could mean our downfall.
Come to your senses.
You may rest now.
Thank you, sir.
Did you call me?
Tomorrow, we visit Aliyar Bey at his marquee. Make your preparations.
Sure, please excuse me.
Running from my own men only to seek refuge with my father's murderers.
It doesn't sit right with me.
Regardless, I won't leave your side.
There they are! Get them!
Ural Bey, surrender yourself. You can't run.
Over my dead body, traitors!
So, what's the situation?
Sir, Aliyar Bey ordered Kutluca to kill you, and had us track you down.
He killed my father, poisoned my brothers, and to top it all off,
he wants to kill me now, huh?
Pity you, Aliyar! You still don't know your big brother.
What are your orders, sir?
First of all, stick together and be on your guard.
Or it might be your turn next.
Tell the loyal beys and alps at the camp that
that we have the support of His Highness Emir Sadettin Köpek.
He will grant us all that we deserve.
Be it the tribe, gold, or even the Hanlı Bazaar.
It'll all be ours!
We will never bow down to Aliyar.
Whatever happens at the tribe, I want to know.
I'm heading for the Karacahisar Keep.
-Got it? -Yes, sir!
Right.
Come, Çolpan. Let us go.
Brave men of my tribe.
The Kayi Tribe will be visiting us. Make proper arrangements.
Check every tent at the camp.
Cater for their needs.
Bring satisfaction to those who are aggrieved.
Take those wounded to the herbalist.
As you wish, sir.
From now on,
Aslihan Hatun will be my representative.
Brother...
how could a woman represent you?
For us Turks, it's possible.
Why not?
Lots of women have led their tribes,
and even ruled over their countries, in our history.
Now, starting with our own tribe,
we will strive to strengthen the whole Muslim world.
May God bless us with an honorable death for our cause.
-Amen. -Amen.
Keep watch on those beys that Ural gathered here.
I don't want to see even the shadow of Ural anymore.
And I'll call them to account for this as well.
Sir, you didn't have to trouble yourself. I meant to come to you.
God bless your conquest, son.
I wanted to see this place for myself.
What a blessed place you've conquered!
But it's only a conquest when we conquer people's hearts.
-God bless your will to conquer. -Amen.
Our prophet, who lighted up the world,
took it upon himself to bring justice to this world.
Sometimes, he taught science to his subjects.
Sometimes, he was a merchant. And other times,
that compassionate prophet fought the wicked in battle.
It's important for a bey to be skillful in many areas.
And our belief compels us to
teach them a lesson.
God says thus in Surah Al-Baqarah,
"Fight your enemies in the name of Allah.
But don't be rash, as Allah hates those who overdo it."
"No more, no less," as the surah decrees.
Retaliate when the enemy acts on you, so that
they may fear getting close to you.
We will be honorable in the face of cruelty, and show mercy to the innocent.
May God bless me and my brethren in this endeavor.
May he show us the right way.
Amen.
Any news from Bamsi?
They found him wounded, Helena. He's okay now, resting at the inn.
I will keep track of every move of Vasilius.
And if he's the killer of my father, I'll kill him with my own hands.
Tell Ertuğrul Bey that it was Vasilius who killed the Turkmen beys.
Welcome, come in. We have all that you need.
I don't know your face.
That's why we hid ourselves.
I respect Ertuğrul Bey's vision! So, this is how you keep watch here.
But of course, if you don't know your enemy, you can't beat them.
Of course.
I talked to Helena. She is on our side.
She said it was Vasilius that had the Turkmen beys killed.
We never doubted it.
We came here to repay him in kind.
They took our swords, Foreman Haçaturyan.
They don't allow anyone with a weapon in the fort anymore, out of fear.
Alas, it's too late.
What now, Turgut Alp?
The streets are ours to take, Kutluca. We kill whoever falls in our trap.
Roger.
All right.
Come again, sir. We will be expecting you.
