THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
You're talking about power, rulership, gold, Emir Sadettin but...
you couldn't handle even a margrave.
Ertuğrul buried you in the ground in front of us.
Once...
I was playing chess here.
Commander Vasilius was sitting right there.
He used to say the exact same words as you do.
But he didn't listen to me.
Then, Ertuğrul beheaded him.
So, be careful.
You might face the same destiny.
Know, Emir Sadettin, that I only tolerate you in the name of peace
and trust between us at the bazaar.
You're so noble.
You're the one who ambushed Ertuğrul and killed his alps. I know that.
I could take your head and your castle if I wanted to.
You could never prove that, Emir Sadettin.
That wound on your back. How did you get it?
Is it getting better?
The wound dealt to you by Bamsi, one of Ertuğrul's alps,
when you set up the ambush.
Emir Sadettin...
If you think I’m not aware
that you sent that letter to Ekaterina
to get me to ambush Ertuğrul, you’re wrong.
The letter wasn't sealed by you, obviously.
But your rage was in there.
Let me give you some advice.
A man should not pursue dreams that he cannot ever achieve.
Otherwise, it will end in frustration.
Only pursue God and the truth.
Truth is gold.
And gold is what fills our pockets,
providing there is peace between the two states.
If you wish to get rich by committing to our agreement,
then you will heed my words.
Yes.
But you'll go back to Konya soon. Then what?
Bahadir Bey is here.
Regard him as my lieutenant. Our agreement will proceed as is.
Bahadir Bey.
I saw the wrath of him and his sons at Hanlı Bazaar.
We have wrath, don’t we Ares?
What about Ertuğrul's wrath?
What about that?
Last night, two men were killed in my castle.
The killer is still at large.
So?
I doubt Ertuğrul knows the truth.
But he might be involved in last night's incident.
What if...
he knows the truth and is playing with us?
Rest assured, Tekfur Ares.
If Ertuğrul knew that you were the ambusher,
he would have already taken your head at Hanlı Bazaar.
He'll gather his beys today.
He'll go after the brigands
that attacked merchants, as well as the man that ambushed him.
Before he finds out it was you, we'll take him down, god willing.
Maybe it is indeed wise for you go back to Konya, Emir Sadettin.
While we prepare for Ertuğrul's end,
you can distract the Sultan and keep his eyes diverted.
Hopefully, he'll never open them again.
As long there is peace, Emir Sadettin, we have the same interests.
Then appreciate the peace, Tekfur Ares.
Let Ertuğrul die, so we can profit forever.
I know everything.
Ares ambushed me, killed my alps.
Knowing that I'm alive, he sent you after me.
You ran to him right after you escaped from us.
I know everything.
Then why don't you kill me?
You'll tell me everything you know.
I know nothing.
Talk...
or face pain.
Wait, I'll tell you everything!
Were you there when Ares ambushed my alps and I?
How did he know where I was?
That night...
We got the command that night.
We were told to dress like brigands.
Ares was dressed like one, too.
He said we were going to kill you.
Bey...
Ares probably got the command right after Sultan decided on voyage.
Who told Ares...
we were going off on a voyage?
I don't know, I swear.
Ekaterina was with him.
They were pretty sure you were dead.
They were laughing with joy.
Ekaterina...
Bey...
She took an oath to take revenge on Ural.
So, she's in on it, too.
Who told her?
Anyone close to the Sultan
who knew about the voyage
has to be a suspect.
Emir Sadettin was there too, bey.
I see him as a suspect too, Artuk Bey.
Ertuğrul's return has messed everything up.
In addition to that, our strongest ally is returning to Konya.
This will make things difficult.
But we'll get through it.
What is our next move against Ertuğrul?
Ertuğrul acted like he didn't know I was the one who ambushed him.
I still doubt whether he really knows.
But the soldiers killed in the castle last night have risen my suspicions.
Ertuğrul could be behind it.
So, you think Ertuğrul might be playing with us, Sir?
Anything is possible.
Ertuğrul is not just a warrior. He is a quick-witted Turk.
Remember, even Emir Sadettin couldn't bring him down.
But to defeat the Turks, we must defeat Ertuğrul.
And until then, we must be quick-witted too.
Ertuğrul will be the object of focus until we regather our strength.
We'll accept the olive branch he extended,
but on the sly, we'll corner him.
If he's playing games with us, we'll play one with him, too.
When you escaped,
what did you talk about with Ares in the castle?
He was angry with you for breaking the bazaar agreement.
He swore to kill all trade in the bazaar.
Nicaea...
There is this merchant from Nicaea.
Niko...
He sent me to bring that merchant alive to castle.
When is this merchant coming?
In a few days.
Bey.
I think that merchant is the same one whom Emir Sadettin included
in the agreement to facilitate trade with the Franks.
Emir Sadettin again?
He definitely made a deal with Ares...
before Bahadir attempted to take over the bazaar.
He brought Bahadir here
and allowed him to set eyes on Aliyar Bey's tent.
Emir Sadettin seems to appear under every stone.
May those stones crush his head, Bey.
I told you everything I know.
Let me live.
Bamsi...
Do what is necessary.
Will you let the Sultan know what we've learned, Bey?
I will, Artuk Bey.
Our Sultan will know what a traitor Emir Sadettin is.
Atsız, get to the castle now.
Keep me posted.
It's a good consistency.
Boil it a little while, then move on.
Sure, Mother Hayme.
Ladies!
Save the best parts of the meat for the people.
Feed the poor.
Give alms.
With their prayers, may all evil, seen and unseen,
go away.
God willing!
May things be easy.
Thank you, Mother Hayme.
What is this, Göktuğ?
It's from our Sultan, Your Majesty.
Our Sultan?
What for?
A robe and gifts for Ertuğrul Bey.
The Sultan orders you to return to Konya,
since Ertuğrul Bey is back at the tent.
And before returning...
Before returning, what?
Say what you were going to say, damn it!
Before returning, what?
He orders you to deliver the margrave insignias to Ertuğrul Bey.
You, yourself, will announce it to the beys
and dress him in his robes.
God damn it!
Ertuğrul and his margraveship...
God, forgive me!
I just can't get rid of him!
And now, I must dress him up in his robes with my own hands.
"Mighty Emir Sadettin Köpek
wasn't even a challenge for Ertuğrul," they all said.
What is your order, Your Majesty?
What can we do?
We can't oppose the Sultan's orders.
Tell them to prepare the beylic insignias.
Prepare for the voyage to Konya after the council.
Tomorrow is another day.
I am Emir Sadettin.
God willing, I'll finish what I've started.
All he's brought is trouble since he came.
He is so blinded by anger.
How dare he draw his sword against Ertuğrul Bey?
Neither he nor Emir Sadettin have brought us peace.
Girl, don't you worry.
Ertuğrul always makes the best possible decisions.
Mother Hayme, this man takes no orders.
Then he shares his destiny with Ural.
Thank God we've lived to see these days.
We had long yearned for the meeting of the council.
That's not all.
Ertuğrul is back.
And we must think about you and Turgut's engagement.
Ertuğrul...
Now that he's postponed the council meeting,
many of the Cavdar beys don't recognize my reign.
Ertuğrul, you...
I have no patience left for him.
My sword...
I barely can keep it in its sheath, Your Majesty!
Tame your wrath, Bahadir Bey.
If you drew your sword against him at the bazaar
accompanied by your sons and alps,
he would obviously look for revenge.
Be patient until the opportunity arises.
Regardless...
you must kiss his hand and recognize his reign.
Never!
I will never!
Then say goodbye to your Cavdar bey and your margrave.
Those Oguz beys obey him without question.
Emir, Your Majesty.
You...
You must allow me.
Allow me to behead that Ertuğrul in the middle of the council meeting
and put it on a spike before the Oguz beys!
You'll do what I say.
Be patient.
The Sultan has called me to return to Konya.
But I'll be back.
When the time comes, slice up his whole family
along with Ertuğrul, if you wish.
The verdict he gives on you and your tent, it must be in our favor
Bahadir Bey...
remember my word!
If you can't reunite the Cavdars and be their bey...
you are nothing to me, either.
Welcome bey!
Welcome, bey!
Good to see you, beys.
Thank you.
You may know that my alps and I were ambushed,
and the bastards came at us from everywhere.
In my absence,
they unsettled the bazaar.
They longed to possess...
our food, our trade, our peace.
Like hyenas searching for a carcass,
they attacked from every direction.
We'll knock the wind out of their sails!
Now you're back, we'll cut their heads off.
We will do!
-Thank you. -We will do, Bey!
It's obvious that...
Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad, like all the beys here...
is extremely happy that Ertuğrul Bey is alive.
Therefore...
our Sultan has given the order...
for me to confer the margrave insignias.
Good luck, Bey!
Congratulations, bey!
May God be with you!
Thank you, beys.
Thank you.
Ertuğrul Bey.
May this bring good fortune.
To achieve good fortune...
first, we need to clear out the agents of misfortune among us.
Let Sancar Bey in.
I'll give my verdict before my beys.
The great warrior, Lukas, died for our cause.
To fill his place, I'll choose one of you to be commander of the castle.
Commander Kostas...
From now on, you will have the command of the castle.
I'm sure you'll fulfill this duty capably.
I trust you.
I won't betray your trust, sir.
I'll fight until my last breath.
While we're keeping peace with Ertuğrul,
we'll make te Turk tents run with blood.
Sir...
We paid the brigands, raided the merchant caravans.
But if we attack the Turk tents, there will be no more chance for peace.
We won't attack the tents.
Someone else will.
Who, sir?
The legendary knight, Titan.
I sent word already. He'll be here soon.
Sir...
Titan is a dangerous man.
He might cause us great trouble.
We need someone like him, Kostas.
Someone who renders the Turks helpless.
Ertuğrul's hands will be tied.
And I'll strike...
the final blow.
With your two alps,
you pulled a weapon on me.
Have anything to say?
Ertuğrul Bey...
for the sake our peace and unity, for which you called this meeting,
just blame it on his youth.
Picking at this scab will do no good for anyone.
Sancar Bey crossed the line.
And he'll pay the price, Emir Sadettin.
Now...
I want to hear what he has to say.
You impinged on my father's rights, Ertuğrul Bey.
It was my duty to retaliate, according to our laws and traditions.
I did what it takes as Cavdar Bey.
Your greed and your arrogance costed two lives.
I thought you would be ashamed of your actions...
but you're still insubordinate. You cross the line.
Mighty Turk beys,
I do not wish to keep this Cavdar Bey among us.
He would poison us.
Today, the weapon has drawn against me.
Tomorrow, it will be drawn against you.
He speaks the truth.
He who stands against the margrave must face the consequences.
Consequences!
By my will, you will be exiled from these lands, Sancar Bey.
Take your horse and your weapon and leave these lands, now.
If I see you on these lands again...
I won't hesitate to chop off your head.
Alps!
Ertuğrul Bey...
I won't let you exile my son.
If you're looking for agents of misfortune,
look to your brother Dündar and the beys who agreed to sell me the bazaar.
Neither my brother Dündar...
nor the beys in my tent
are tolerated when they make mistakes, Bahadir Bey.
Not at all.
First, you obey me.
If you do, we fight together to make these lands our own.
Otherwise, I exile you and your tent, just like I did to Sancar Bey.
You interfered in our council to banish from my own ancient tent.
Is this what you call justice?
Is this how you govern as margrave?
And you, you cheer this tyranny
when you should stand against it!
Shame on your bey!
Bahadir Bey!
Enough!
Know your place!
If you don't, you'll find your fate on the tip of Ertuğrul Bey's sword.
Don't push us.
Ertuğrul Bey is the margrave of these lands.
In politics, in peace, in war,
in trade and in law, his word is law.
His word is the word of the state. Don't you know that?
-His Majesty speaks the truth. -Yes, he speaks the truth.
Now...
either obey Ertuğrul Bey along with the other beys, here...
or take your tent with you and leave these lands.
Thanks.
Beys!
Our duty is to bring justice to the world
so that we may please God.
We won't be tyrannical ourselves,
nor will we surrender to tyranny.
In this cause, we will dominate
and force the enemy to kneel.
God willing, the holy flag of the justice
will be raised around the world.
God willing, Ertuğrul Bey!
God willing.
God willing, bey!
Today, we choose the best archer in the castle.
I want all my men to be at their best.
Therefore, you must practice.
Get up!
Soon enough, you will leave this castle to conquer the world.
When the time comes,
failing to hit even one Turk could mean losing our land.
And I'll never let that happen!
Any soldier who hits the apple will win this sack of gold in my hand.
If anyone misses, retribution will be swift.
And you can't run from my wrath.
Long live Tekfur Ares!
Bring him to me alive!
-Go, quick! -Ares!
Run! Run!
Come on, he's running off! Go, get him, quick!
Stop him!
Upstairs!
Run!
Your soldiers have forgotten how to fight, Ares.
That's why I wanted you here.
I'm at your command, Ares.
