THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Watch out.
Must be Commander Angelos.
Why are these infidels here?
Must be a secret location.
We'll spend the night to find out what happens inside.
Commander Angelos.
I'm sure Ertuğrul welcomed you with joy.
He crushed me with his words.
He wanted war, I wanted peace.
He wanted blood and profit.
What did you expect?
For him to just hand over the castle?
Like you, Ares?
What are you doing?
Do you want to grant a victory to the enemy with your own hands? Ares!
Be grateful that the Emperor hasn't given up on you, Ares.
Otherwise, I'd make you pay for what you've done.
I'll make you eat your words, Angelos.
Don't forget.
The Emperor will not tolerate another failure.
Don't forget it.
Don't worry.
I'll bring his head to the Emperor myself.
How will you do this when Ertuğrul has taken precautions?
You can't even come close.
He'll be defenseless at the Hanlı Bazaar.
I'll infiltrate the Hanlı Bazaar and kill him.
Since you wish to kill him at the Hanlı Bazaar,
I have some information for you.
One of my spies there has said
that Ertuğrul was going to hold a meeting at the castle.
He and his beys would go to the Hanlı Bazaar afterwards.
Ertuğrul will be defenseless near the merchants.
I need men for this, Angelos.
This great victory is not only for me, but for the Emperor.
All right.
I'll give you men for our Emperor.
But if you fail...
there'll be hell to pay, Ares.
We don't have many men there.
Even if we kill Ertuğrul, it would be hard to leave.
You're right.
While I infiltrate the Hanlı Bazaar with the men,
you and Commander Angelos must go to Bilecik and get reinforcements.
Don't forget, Titan, you're the key to get us out of the Hanlı Bazaar.
-Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey. -Thank you.
Thank you, all.
Thanks.
-Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey. -Thank you.
Good day.
-Eat well. -Thank you.
Thank you, sit.
-Welcome. -Thank you.
-Welcome. -Thanks, my Bey.
-Thanks. -Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you.
-Welcome, my bey. -Thank you.
Thank you.
Welcome, my bey.
We heard what you said about us.
You saved us from Ares.
Scum.
They're licking his boots.
Now we have food. God bless you, Ertuğrul Bey.
That's our last chance.
We either kill him now or never.
We either die with honor or we live as slaves under the Turk's sword.
You are our neighbors, our people.
Sometimes we share our sadness, and sometimes our happiness with you.
As we try to be just for the sake of our faith,
you must try to be the same with your money and balances.
Do the same, so that we can respect you.
Trader, how much for this?
The bag for my mother, and this for my grandmother.
You're Ertuğrul Bey's son, we won't take your gold.
No, you'll get your money.
Then I'll lower the price for two bags.
All right then, Gündüz Bey.
Bargaining is a good thing.
-God bless you. -Thanks.
-Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey. -Thank you.
Thank you.
-What is it, Gündüz? -If you allow, Father,
I'll buy this bag for Mother and this one for Grandmother.
I'm glad you thought about them.
All right then.
-How much for them? -My bey, please.
You helped everyone. I can't take your money.
I must pay you your time's worth.
-How much? -Your son said the same.
You raised him well.
Three gold coins for them, Ertuğrul Bey.
All right.
Forgive me, my bey.
Forgiving the evil is condemning the good.
Good boy, come here.
Well done.
Abdur Rahman.
Gather the bodies.
As you order.
Bahadır Bey has overstepped his bounds.
Ertuğrul Bey and I attempted to reconcile with him. He refused.
He got what he deserved.
Turgut Bey has become the Çavdar Tribe's bey,
by the frontier bey Ertuğrul's order.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
We heard about Bahadır Bey's doings.
They have disappointed us.
We didn't think this would happen.
We set off to unite our tribes.
We won't make anyone suffer.
If you wish to unite, we can live together in peace.
We'd be glad.
If you wish to live together in the village,
you must obey Turgut Bey first.
I wish you a good reign.
Thank you.
I wish you a good reign.
Thank you.
I wish you a good reign.
Thank you.
Tomorrow, Ertuğrul Bey holds a council at the castle.
-You should attend too. -As you order.
Oğuz.
Leave.
As you order.
Who is the bey, Aslıhan Hatun?
You are, Turgut.
Then, don't speak after me.
Turgut.
From now on, don't get involved in tribal matters.
You won't attend councils.
You're responsible for the women and the tailors.
In this village, I have the last word.
I have the only sword, I rule alone.
Did you understand?
You're my husband.
You're my love.
My honor.
My pride.
How are the preparations going?
Everything is set, my bey.
Tomorrow, we'll have a council worthy of our victory.
Don't worry.
Both mother and I are taking care of everything.
Thank you.
Hand out food for the elderly and homeless at the market.
As you order. I'll take care of it personally.
How is Marya?
She's fine.
She works to do her duty.
She and Artuk Bey search the documents.
Good.
-What is this? -A letter from the Emperor for you.
Our Emperor gave Ares a last chance.
If he fails again, you'll kill him...
and become commander.
You'll fight Ertuğrul under my orders.
I'll take care of all your needs including reinforcements.
I'll never betray Ares.
Titan.
Nobody knows your bravery and loyalty like I do.
Didn't you see Ares?
Ertuğrul has poisoned his soul.
We lost hundreds of men for his rage and pride.
The Turks have taken our most important castle.
And more importantly, we lost our prestige.
Nicaea is worried.
So are the people.
A civil war might even erupt.
If Nicaea falls, think about what will happen.
Father.
We only had one village.
Now, we have a castle.
How did we become so strong?
Look Gündüz, do you see?
Small sparks have united to become a big fire.
Union makes strength.
We became a big fire by uniting ourselves just like these sparks.
We gave warmth to our friends,
we burned away our enemies.
Look, son.
We endured many difficulties on this path.
Our tribe was hungry.
Our animals died.
We lost many brave men.
We settled on barren lands.
What brought us here from those places was our loyalty
to God's cause and tradition and to each other.
Father, if I have difficulties when I grow up, what should I do?
Always mention God's name, son.
If you fall into a dark hole someday,
hold God's hand so you can live.
If you take up God's cause, he won't leave you alone.
Your people and your friends will support you.
If you don't leave the right path, the followers of God will be your friends.
Father, how will I find them?
If you follow the path, they will find you, son.
You have an important guest.
Who, Abdur Rahman?
Just a poor fellow on the road.
Good to see you.
Selamunaleykum.
Wa-Alaikum-Salaam.
-Welcome. -Thank you, son.
Mashallah.
Thank you, brave warrior.
Come along.
Come, son.
Peace and mercy of God be upon you.
Amen.
Oh, God.
You granted me many things in this mortal world.
You let me raise my kids and see my grandchildren.
You granted me and Suleyman Shah many conquests.
You helped us endure many troubles and evil men,
and conquer castles with my son Ertuğrul.
All the glory to you, oh God.
When it's time to die, give me faith and strength, oh God.
Reunite me with Suleyman Shah in Heaven.
Protect my tribe and my children.
Keep me near our Prophet.
I only ask your help, I only seek your refuge.
Amen.
Oh, God.
Help us.
We've been waiting for you for a long time.
We really missed your wise words.
I was in the Holy Land.
The land of our Prophet.
As soon as I arrived, I heard the news and came to visit.
You honored us.
Hallelujah.
You conquered this castle, now it belongs to Islam.
You opened the way for many good things.
A good conquest.
May it allow you to conquer hearts as well.
Amen. Amen.
Ertuğrul Bey, your conquest reminds me of Umar
who took Jerusalem from non-Muslims and made it an Islamic city.
Jerusalem was conquered by the armies of Islam.
The former administrators said
they would only give the keys of the city to the Caliph.
Therefore, Umar and his slave set off with a camel.
Umar and his slave took turns riding the camel.
At last they arrive...
and they see Jerusalem from a hill.
Then, it was the slave's turn to ride the camel.
The slave forfeits his turn and says,
"Oh, Leader of the Faithful,
it would be more appropriate for you to ride the camel."
Umar refuses.
"He whose turn has come, shall go riding" he says.
So, he holds the camel while the slave rides
and they enter the city.
Those who waited thought the slave was the Caliph
and showed him respect.
He was ashamed.
He says he's not the Caliph, that the Caliph is the one walking.
Everyone is shocked.
"How can that Caliph, who makes the world tremble,
enter the city holding the camel which carries a slave?"
They ask this to Umar.
He replies,
"Before God, there's no difference between us.
The superiority is about loyalty to God.
We took turns on the camel.
It was his turn, so, he was riding it."
The people were shocked.
Umar's act helped him conquer the hearts of many non-Muslims.
Ertuğrul Bey,
you did a great duty conquering this place in the name of Islam.
But your real duty has not yet begun.
For greater conquests, you must raise men of merit.
For it is men who keep a country running.
If you don't have any men of merit...
your conquests won't last.
That's why you must rule with justice.
Conquer hearts with justice.
Make the world tremble with your glory.
Your duty is harder, your load is heavier.
But don't forget, as long as you follow the path...
God's mercy will always be upon you.
Thank you.
Marya Hatun, mashallah.
You're talented.
And you have a good heart.
We love you a lot.
Therefore,
Ertuğrul Bey wants you to have a family and raise children like yourself,
instead of being alone.
Does Ertuğrul Bey want me married?
Yes.
Ertuğrul Bey found you a suitor as well.
I don't know what to say.
But how?
If Ertuğrul Bey found someone for you, he won't force you.
We don't do that here.
What's important is your desire.
Can I adapt to your customs?
I'm a Christian, too.
Would one of you marry me?
Marya Hatun...
You being Christian poses no religious problems to us.
In our religion, a Christian woman can marry a Muslim man.
Don't feel under pressure, okay?
What's important is your desire.
Marya.
I was a Christian just before I married Bamsı.
But the hospitality of these people has really affected me.
And I converted to Islam of my own will.
Also, the suitor Ertuğrul Bey has found for you
is also a good and a talented person. It's Artuk Bey.
-Artuk Bey? -Yeah, Artuk Bey.
Artuk Bey, he's a good and talented man...
like you said.
He is.
If Artuk Bey wants it, then I want it too.
Marya, you'll have the time of your life.
You won't regret it.
Thank you.
Thank you as well.
-Thanks. -You too.
Despite his failures,
I asked the Emperor to give Ares another chance.
Without me, he would be dead.
If Ares succeeds, we'll stand by him until the end.
Both of us.
But if he fails again...
Then the duty awaits you, Titan.
If you won't, I have the authority to send you away.
The Emperor prepares his army.
We'll both lead the army.
I spoke with the soldiers outside.
They can't wait to attack the Hanlı Bazaar and avenge their fallen friends.
They're all ready to die.
Good luck, Commander Ares.
May God forgive our sins.
Are you okay, Halime?
You look sad.
No, I'm fine.
Tell me Halime, what happened?
I know you well.
I was going to see you today, Ertuğrul.
Abdur Rahman Alp didn't let me in.
It annoyed me.
I wonder if these stones will make us grow distant.
My Halime...
My Halime.
What do you mean?
Our love will overcome even steel fences, let alone walls of stone.
Your place is where I am.
Then why wasn't I allowed in, Ertuğrul?
I looked behind and saw how our lives changed.
A person might forget that it was God who brought him where he is.
I'm afraid of making the same mistake if I don't paying attention.
That's why I wanted to be alone and think.
My Halime.
You're my love, the throne of my heart.
Your place is always my side.
May God never let me out of your heart and mind, Ertuğrul.
We spoke with Marya Hatun today.
She wants to marry Artuk Bey.
All right.
And I told Bamsı Alp.
Asked him to talk to Artuk Bey.
I hope they'll be happily married.
So do I.
I have another thing to say, my bey.
Tell me.
It's about Mother.
What happened to Mother, Halime?
Her heart had a problem this morning.
She was in pain.
She told me she was all right, but I'm worried.
Go see your mother tomorrow.
Don't tell her I told you, she'll be angry.
Okay.
I'll see her before the Friday prayers.
Bamsı.
Don't play with them.
All right.
I'll go anyway.
It's late.
Hafsa waits for me.
Artuk Bey,
marriage is such a good thing.
What do you say?
Don't you think about it?
I never thought about marriage all these years.
I chose science.
Look, you work so hard all the time.
Would it be so bad to have a wife and babies in your tent?
Bamsı. Enough. I'm working.
Artuk Bey.
Marriage is the real science.
Wise is the man who can get along with a woman and raise kids.
Artuk Bey, talking about the babies,
if there were many little Artuks, lots of little Artuks,
you could teach them.
You should get married, Artuk Bey.
If you dedicated yourself to science, you must raise educated kids.
Alps.
Bamsı Alp will leave now.
When he leaves, don't let anyone in.
As you order.
Good.
I'll go.
Keep working Artuk Bey. Work hard.
And when you want some soup,
these papers will bring it to you right away.
Alps.
Ares and Titan.
At last.
They're with the Tekfur's commander.
Those who wish to die at the battle of the Hanlı Bazaar, take a step forward.
As long as I have such brave men,
killing Ertuğrul or driving the Turks away will be easy.
Ertuğrul will go to the Hanlı Bazaar tomorrow to meet the traders.
Yanis and you three,
you'll go there tonight dressed as merchants.
Spend the night there and hide your swords under the tables.
Me and the other soldiers will go in when Ertuğrul comes, using the chaos.
Scum.
They'll ambush Ertuğrul Bey.
When we go to the Hanlı Bazaar, Titan will bring men from Bilecik.
When it starts, our soldiers will surround the Hanlı Bazaar.
At last, we'll take our revenge from Ertuğrul who killed many of our heroes.
