THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
I told you to bring food when you were coming!
What's with this empty horse?
Simko sent that horse for Ertuğrul.
He said he doesn't want to make Ares wait any longer.
So it's time to be rewarded for the things I've done for Ertuğrul.
He said he'll wait for you at Monks Hill.
You know what to do.
Simko shouldn't worry.
I'll bring Ertuğrul to him of his own will.
My God.
Ertuğrul Bey, I told you not to get up.
You haven't recovered yet.
I'm fine, Antheus.
Don't worry.
I want to go back to my village.
I know you burn with vengeance.
But whoever set you up couldn't find your body.
They must be looking for you everywhere.
And they'll never give up.
There's nothing beyond death, Antheus.
I'll never forget what you've done for me.
Whoever did this to you must be very powerful.
I can't send you out there like that.
Look, I brought clothes for you from the village.
And a horse that's waiting outside.
We've got a long journey. I'll come with you.
Thank you, Antheus.
I don't know how far we have to go.
But the destination is apparent.
The account between those degenerates and us has to be settled.
Whoever did this to me will pay for it.
Brother, do you miss our father?
I miss him a lot.
Brother...
This smells like my father.
I smell it whenever I miss him.
Here, you should smell it too.
Don't you be sad, okay?
Big brothers don't get sad. Look at me.
Mother, why are you crying?
I'm not crying, my Gündüz.
Don't cry, mother. Don't be afraid.
I'll protect you and my brother.
I know, my Gündüz.
You can protect me and your brother.
You are a great Alp commander.
My father entrusted you to me when he was leaving for the battle.
That's right, my Gündüz.
He did.
The horses can rest here, Ertuğrul Bey.
We can stay the night in the village.
I know some people there. We'll be comfortable.
Ho!
Hush!
Ertuğrul Bey...
Antheus took care of you well.
I wasn't expecting you to be this healthy.
You said we had a long way to go.
But as you can see, it wasn't that long.
As caravansaries are raided, the merchants are running away.
Kayıs can't deal with the bandits. They don't know what to do.
Neither my people nor Turks can find what they are looking for in the bazaar.
I kept my promise, Tekfur Ares. Now it's your turn.
A big caravansary that left from Iran should be here soon.
From Mosul, Aleppo and even China...
All caravansaries that pass by here
have to pass through Hanlı Bazaar by my command.
Before gold starts accumulating in Hanlı Bazaar,
the bazaar has to be taken away from the Kayıs.
Or I'll burn that bazaar down with my own hands.
Be at ease, Tekfur Ares.
Dündar will ask for my help when he gets in trouble.
And I'll encourage him to sell the bazaar.
And I'll make a man that I trust buy the bazaar.
By then, everything will have changed.
So...
We'll run this bazaar together through this man, huh?
Yes, you'll pay for the bazaar's value.
If you'll buy the bazaar with my gold, Emir Sadettin,
then I'd like my own man to run the bazaar.
I want to bury my gold in the bazaar, not in the soil.
I'll get one of the most skillful merchants from Nicaea to run the bazaar.
That's my only condition.
If the merchants from the east are in your pocket,
Greek and French merchants are in mine, Emir Sadettin.
If you want partnership, this is it.
Simfono!
Ne. Simfono, Ares.
Emir Sadettin, I'll introduce you to my favorite woman.
Welcome, sir.
I'm honored.
You know how to own beautiful things.
I like it.
I've eaten enough.
I'll leave you alone with your beauties.
Don't waste any time, go see Dündar, press him.
While the fire is burning, we should add more fuel to it.
Now surrender to your new owner Simko
who found you and helped you recover and escape death.
From now on, I own your life.
I'd rather die than be a slave for you rascals.
So...
If that's what you want...
Get him!
The sparkle in your eye is a sign of the new order that you've established.
To reestablish the order that he demolished
is the binding duty of any great statesman.
You have proven that once again, Majesty Emir.
Moreover, you laid the entire burden upon your biggest enemy, Ares.
Already, his mercenary soldiers are creating trouble for Dündar Bey.
My biggest enemy was Ertuğrul.
I'll build my reign out of his ashes.
What about Ares, Majesty Emir?
He'll eventually figure out that he was tricked.
After our Sultan's victory, it'll be Karacahisar's turn.
Don't worry.
I'll bury Ares in the same land that I buried Ertuğrul.
What about Bahadır Bey?
He should be here soon.
Good.
Let him come.
Let him.
I'll buy the bazaar with Ares' gold
and I'll make sure Bahadır Bey becomes powerful
and becomes a frontiersman under my command.
What matters is our state.
That'll be the thing to last, Göktuğ.
I'll always kneel before our state, Majesty Emir.
I had my biggest victory today, Marya.
I bought this necklace for you so we'll never forget this day.
The biggest gift I can receive is your victory, Tekfur Ares.
What? What do you want?
Sir...
Mihalis is here.
Let him come in.
Go to our room, wait for me. I'll be there soon.
You called for me, Tekfur Ares.
I want bigger raids, Mihalis.
Get more men. Don't think about the gold. I'll take care of it.
Just make sure the terror you'll spread is enough to suffocate the Turks.
As you wish, Tekfur Ares.
Lukas!
Double the men we have on the border.
Have them spread out.
Have them kill all the wandering Turks.
I want them to be scared of leaving their villages, got it?
Yes, Tekfur Ares.
We're so close to breaking the back of the Turks, Lukas.
I don't want any mistakes.
Hah!
Send a message to Dündar Bey.
-I'll see him in Hanlı Bazaar. -Yes, sir.
It's time to upset Ares.
The pigeon in the castle should start moving too.
This way Ares will find out Ertuğrul is still alive
and that he's not safe even in his own castle.
What if Ares doesn't pay the gold we demand for Ertuğrul?
Then Sultan Alaeddin will find out
that his frontiersman was trapped by Ares.
Ares will be scared, not us.
Now go and wait inside the cave.
Oh, wow, Ertuğrul Bey...
Look at you!
Haven't you understood how much compassion I have for you yet?
Why did you resist my men?
Don't think I surrendered, Simko.
Even if you tie me up...
I'd rip you apart with my teeth.
Well, I'll rip your teeth out then.
A merchant like you wouldn't waste his time with a slave.
Tell me.
What do you want from me?
You're a smart man.
I know very well that you are too valuable to be a galley slave.
I have no desire to sell you in the slave market like those hangdogs.
We know who your owner is.
You know who set me up.
And you want to sell me to them?
Ah...
You're so smart, Ertuğrul Bey.
So smart. But don't worry, you'll figure everything out
when I sell you to him.
Get up! We're leaving!
Come on!
Get up! We're leaving! Come on!
Come on!
Quick!
-Good luck with that. -Thank you, Bey.
How is your business, Merchant?
How could it be, Bey? It's been really bad since the bandits started to raid.
How long will this go on for, Bey?
When will security be established?
Don't worry.
We'll try with God's help.
The bazaar will go back to its former order as soon as possible.
-Have a good day. -Thank you, Bey.
My Bey, don't you worry.
Merchants think their worlds turn upside down when business is bad.
With God's help, everything will get better.
You say that, Artuk Bey...
They're not wrong.
We can't stop the bandits.
Day by day, it's getting more and more difficult for us to stop it.
Dündar Bey is right.
The bandit incident has shaken up the revenue of the bazaar.
Everyone's income has decreased.
Both the merchants and the customers are uneasy.
-I don't know what to do. -Every cloud has a silver lining.
Our duty is to maintain the peace.
Greek merchants have started to run away from the bazaar.
-They can't earn much. -The bread doesn't come from them.
God is the one to provide the bread.
If God closes one door, he'll open another one.
We just have to carry out our responsibilities.
Dündar Bey...
Tekfur Ares sent a message.
He wants to talk to you if you're available.
It's okay. He can come.
I wonder what happened.
We'll see, Artuk Bey.
We'll see.
Your wound is so deep.
The enemies who did this to you must be very strong.
But you're stronger than them.
That wound has started to heal ever since you touched it, Marya.
Those hands must belong to a saint.
I'm getting shy.
You saved me from being a slave and took me into your paradise.
You are the saint.
Not yet.
But I stomped out our biggest enemy...
I'll be the great knight saint who kicked the Turks...
out of Anatolia.
So he was a Turk.
I'm curious about this strong enemy who made you this furious.
It must have been so painful for him to die in your hands.
I never look back at the people I destroy, Marya.
I never mention them.
I care about the future.
I'm dreaming of the great knight, Ares, who kicked out the Turks from our lands.
Now you're a part of that dream.
Think about the future, Marya.
Whatever you want.
Now I have to go.
But when I come back, we'll both be closer to that dream.
Come on!
Come on! Walk, you fools, walk!
You useless men!
Hurry up! Quick!
Your eyes are on the keys.
Simko said you're a very smart man.
He was right.
I can tell from the way you fight and your eyes.
My name is Pito.
I was a miserable thief.
It's clean, sir!
I'm a sinner.
I thought God was punishing me, but I met you.
Come on, you hangdogs! What are you waiting for?
Don't stall!
We're all trying to run away from the slave trader, Turk.
We've all seen that you are too brave to accept being a slave.
If you want to escape, you're not alone.
We have all accepted the risk of death.
If you were a thief, show your skills once more.
Take those keys.
I'll take those keys to save you and us from these chains.
But we are entrusting our lives to you, you should know that.
Look at me, you thief!
What did I tell you?
I told you not to speak to that man.
You haven't behaved yourself ever since I bought you.
Mavro!
Take that man and whip him the rest of the way so he'll behave!
You low scumbag!
Hah!
Don't deprive me of the strength to crush the cruel.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
I want my hunt on my dinner table.
Serve it with almond rice and raisins.
Yes, Majesty Emir.
Majesty Emir, Bahadır Bey is here.
He's going to the Cavdar Village.
Good.
Let him see Aslıhan Hatun for a while.
Let him settle down in the pavilion.
We've got a lot of important stuff to do.
With Bahadır Bey's arrival, the Anatolian people
will change just as we want them to, sir.
We call the shots now, Göktuğ.
Dündar will ask for help eventually, and he'll be at our mercy.
Then we'll start digging the Kayıs graves.
And Aslıhan will see...
who is stronger.
Aslıhan Hatun, praise be. Your hair is just like silk.
The brush flows by itself.
Thank you, Esma Hatun.
You and Turgut Alp look perfect together.
When is your wedding?
I just want him to come back alive and well.
We can have our wedding after that, if God permits.
May God let him come alive and well, quickly.
Amen.
What's the drum for?
Am I allowed to come in, Aslıhan Hatun?
No, Kırca.
Tell me.
Bahadır Bey is approaching the village with his son Sancar Bey.
I hope he's got good intentions.
I don't think so.
Only evil spawns where Bahadır comes from.
May God turn this into a blessing.
Our Bahadır Bey is coming.
Welcome, Bey!
The one who storms through the battlefield.
The one who makes the enemy spit blood.
The one who cuts 40 hands with a dark weapon.
Bahadır Bey with a speedy horse and the life of a lion.
Welcome, Bahadır Bey. Welcome.
You cheered up our village, Bey.
Welcome, Bahadır Bey.
You brought joy!
You brought joy! You brought victory! You brought honor to our village!
Your victory overflows your majesty, Bey. Welcome.
First of all, the victory is God's.
I hope we never go through a separation again.
God willing, my Bey.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough
to come back to my village years later, and with a battle victory.
I know you've been missing the honor of a victory for years.
I came here to share my victory with the Cavdars
and to earn new victories
and to hang the enemy's heads on the village entrance.
So that every passerby
can see Cavdars have gained the honor of a battle.
Your wish is our command, Bahadır Bey. Your wish is our command, Bahadır Bey.
Hand out the battle treasures to all the Cavdars.
Long live Bahadır Bey! Long live Bahadır Bey!
May your victory be blessed, Bey!
Long live Bahadır Bey!
May your victory be blessed, Bey!
Long live Bahadır Bey! May your victory be blessed, Bey!
May your treasure be blessed, Bey!
Long live Bahadır Bey!
Welcome, Bahadır Bey.
Thank you, Aslıhan Hatun.
The purpose of our lives is to claim lives on the battlefield and become glorious.
I was swaddled in a lion's coat.
I grew up destroying eagles' nests.
Valor comes from the womb.
You know Karaca Hatun. She became my wife.
May God make you happy.
May God bless you.
I heard that you are taking care
of my late brother Candar Bey's legacy.
That's right.
Thank God, I take care of his legacy perfectly.
Come into my pavilion.
You've been traveling. Rest a little.
Kırca, ask the Hatuns to bring some sherbet.
Our guests have come a long way.
They are tired.
Please go ahead.
