Dirilis: Ertugrul (2014–2019): Season 3, Episode 16 - Adalet Tecelli Edecek - full transcript
Vasilius took the first step to save Ural and made him aware of the Tekfur murder. But Ural was also convicted of murdering Ertugrul's warriors. Now it's time for Emir Saadettin.
Episode 77 will start after 12:39 min.
The brave
and honorable beys of Cavdar Tribe!
Our sorrow is great.
Every day...
we are being tested with a new pain.
And that's why
I am suggesting that we should...
postpone the meeting.
Ural Bey's unborn child died.
Our sorrow is great, of course.
Before Candar Bey's body is cold,
while Ural Bey was being executed,
we held a meeting.
Why? Because our tribe needs a new leader.
Why do you want to
postpone the meeting, Aliyar Bey?
Our tribe has a leader, Acar Bey.
I am the deputy for my father.
And the meeting will be held tomorrow.
That is it!
Kutluca!
I...
have proved that I am a tekfur
worthy of our emperor.
I killed the murderers in front
of your eyes and served justice.
The case is closed for me.
It is your decision
what you do with Ural Bey.
Let's go, Helena.
Tekfur Vasilius.
The man who wants to serve
the justice himself...
must be hiding something.
Remember this, Ertuğrul Bey.
I have saved not only you...
but both Turkmen tribes...
and the Seljuk Empire
from a great scheme.
And now it's our duty to protect the peace
that our state agreed upon.
Ural Bey was found guilty of
killing your alps with his alp, Batuhan,
and burning your rugs.
It was decided that Ural Bey and Laskaris
had killed the tekfur together.
The case you've covered up
has just opened again for me.
Justice will be served
only when this scheme is over.
Ertuğrul Bey...
it is obvious the murder of the tekfur
is just a slander against Ural Bey
and nobody is trying to cover up anything.
On the contrary,
we have learned the truth.
And you have unintentionally supported
this scheme.
Thankfully, I know the Templars
better than you.
Ertuğrul Bey doesn't fully understand
what they are capable of.
May God protect us all.
Let's go, Helena.
Farewell, Bamsi Beyrek.
I haven't said my final word yet,
Ural Bey.
Remember, your arrogant head
is still at the edge of my sword.
Qadi Almighty...
According to the rules,
the execution should be postponed...
and you should review the decision again.
Emir Almighty is right.
We should review the decision.
You are just postponing justice
by doing this, Qadi Almighty.
It will not change the fact
that Ural had my alps killed.
We tried Ural Bey
for both the murders of the tekfur,
and your alps, Ertuğrul Bey.
And we should try him again, this time
only for the accusation of murdering alps.
But, since he has been proven guilty
for that,
the sentence of death won't change,
unless you want otherwise.
God commands that
you shall serve the justice properly.
And that's why Ural Bey should be tried
only for the murder of your alps.
Even though his sentence will remain
the same,
we should do that.
Justice...
will be served now, Ertuğrul Bey.
Everybody will see that you are a liar.
And then
it will be your turn to be tried.
The case is closed.
But I will certainly come again.
You should.
You can come whenever you want.
I'll be waiting for you.
You are more than welcome.
Helena!
Don't get too close to Turks, they're like
hyenas playing with their prey.
Commander...
Commander!
We are not you,
we don't play with anybody.
And we all know...
who is the hyena
and who is the lion.
Stop, just stop.
Vasilius, let's go.
Let's go!
CAVDAR TRIBE
Acar Bey
aspires to be the bey of the tribe,
this is not a good sign, Kutluca.
He is not qualified
to be the leader of our tribe, Bey.
Ural Bey's baby is dead,
and now it would make
Acar's supporters more furious.
Everything would be over
if you hadn't postponed the meeting, Bey.
Who is behind Acar Bey?
Sadettin Köpek, of course.
We will not let anybody
sow discord
among our tribe, Kutluca.
I will be loyal to you
until my dying breath, Bey.
Go to Ertuğrul Bey quick
and tell him the situation.
Yes, Bey.
You will not run away from me.
I will
get out of here freely, you'll see.
And I will come after you.
-Ural...
-Hmm.
Watch your mouth.
Don't mind him, Brother. Be patient.
We will see
his head is cut off from his body.
God willing.
Turgut Alp, come to me.
I wouldn't touch a tied man.
Untie me, then.
Untie me,
and I will show you who is the boss!
Ertuğrul Bey has the right...
to cut your throat.
He escaped from his death again.
When will he die, God?
He thinks that
he can be absolved and go away.
He doesn't deserve to breathe again.
Bey, he was absolved
of the tekfur murder.
However, we have evidence that
he killed our alps and burned our rugs.
He cannot get away with it.
His deceased father...
Aliyar Bey, Aslıhan Hatun,
all of them witnessed that he gave
the order to Batuhan for this.
Do not be so sure about it.
How could Vasilius find
that bastard Petrus in just one night?
How could he get those records?
Why did he kill Petrus and Laskaris
here instead of taking them to İznik?
If we can't answer these questions,
we will get nothing.
What are you thinking, Son?
Vasilius suddenly showed up
and saved Ural from the tekfur murder.
I think he did so for a reason.
They are plotting something against us.
It is obvious that
Vasilius and Köpek are allies now.
Their only intention is to absolve Ural,
and make him the bey of his tribe.
They will do anything for that.
Ural Bey went too far for the trade.
Right.
However, although
he ordered his man to burn the rugs,
his alp Batuhan, who is still at large,
used initiative
and massacred those alps
by hiring some bandits.
What do you mean, Emir Almighty?
What I mean is, Qadi Almighty...
What I mean is...
it is obvious that Ural Bey
is responsible for this ominous event.
That is correct.
Even he didn't want to do that,
Kayi alps' blood is on his hands now.
But beheading him wouldn't be fair.
The punishment shouldn't be execution. No!
No.
Because that would...
sow discord among these tribes.
And once it starts...
brothers will kill each other.
As God commands in the 40th verse
of The Counsel surah of the Quran:
"The recompense for an injury
is an injury equal thereto.
But if a person forgives
and makes reconciliation,
his reward is due from Allah."
So, it is not up to us, Emir Almighty.
Ertuğrul Bey, who lost his alps,
could want retaliation
by persuading the families,
or by diet.
He will be the one who decides.
May your scales of justice
never be unbalanced.
Are you the merchant
who wants to rent my father's shop?
Call me Master Alvin.
I am forever loyal to you.
I need to say that I am very sorry
about the things that happened to you.
I am praying for God
to have his mercy on your father.
Where were you trading before,
Master Alvin? I think...
I know you from somewhere.
You must have seen me somewhere before,
I have been doing business
all over the world.
We must have met before.
I was in Nicaea most recently.
I would be pleased to have you
at our castle, Master Alvin.
And I'd like to get to know you better
before making a decision.
But excuse me for today.
-As you can see, I am very tired.
-Oh...
Of course, I wouldn't upset
a kind woman like you.
We will wait till tomorrow.
If you'll excuse me now.
I will visit you tomorrow.
Be our guest at our castle today.
You are so kind, thank you.
Helena, I need to go back to my business.
You should rest,
you have been through a lot.
Knowing that your father's real murderers
were found must have relieved you.
They got what they deserve.
And Ural is absolved.
Now you can sleep in peace.
Come, wave, take me
and put me again in his arms.
May I come in, Aslıhan Hatun?
Yes.
The truth was revealed finally,
Aslıhan Hatun.
Ural Bey was acquitted
of the tekfur murder charge.
Thank God.
The other charges?
Ural was proven innocent
of the tekfur murder.
The plan you had with Ertuğrul
to make you the bey has failed.
What are you going to do now?
Sadakallahülazim.
Know your place, Aslıhan.
I have never had secret plans
to be the bey.
Anger has blinded you.
At least for once,
act reasonably, Aslıhan.
You are the last person
who could advise me.
Everything happened because of you.
Do you think Ural's acquittal
from the tekfur's murder changes anything?
He burned the rugs with Batuhan,
he killed those innocent alps,
you know that, just like everyone else.
Ural made a mistake and gave an order
to burn the rugs.
However,
the one who killed the alps was Batuhan.
That will be proved, too.
Then, you and Ertuğrul
will be held accountable.
May God heal your eyes, Aslıhan.
Because you are blind
and cannot see the truth.
Ural's baby has died
in his mother's womb, Aliyar.
You are responsible for that.
Likewise,
you are responsible for my father's death.
So, shame on you.
Shame on you.
Shame on you, Aliyar.
This Vasilius...
He is trying to gain influence
over Helena.
He is playing up to her.
How was Ural absolved,
I just can't understand that.
That is not good, Dumrul.
That is not good.
I bet Vasilius has a hand in it.
I know these people well, Haçaturyan Usta.
They always have secret plans.
That is why we are here.
Let's discuss what are we going to do now.
My old mind has stopped working.
Think, old man. Just think!
We need to infiltrate the castle
by acting like one of them.
We should laugh with them
and we should cry with them.
First, we should rent this shop and...
What about...
What about Helena? What if she says no?
What if she doesn't let us rent
the shop? What will we do, Dumrul?
You will work your magic on her,
Haçaturyan Usta.
If I was a sweet talker like you,
I'd be able to rent this castle!
-No way. Really?
-Yes.
So, Ural was absolved
of the tekfur's murder?
God-damned Sadettin Köpek!
He can do anything.
Now he will do his best
to absolve Ural of his other crimes!
What do we do now, Batuhan?
Let's see who the new bey will be.
Then we will do what's necessary.
Bugay, inform me of everything.
Do not worry.
We are ready.
When you say it is time,
we will take action.
Don't give in to Ural's enticing
words and do something stupid.
Don't worry, sir.
We won't forget to feed him.
He's getting on my nerves, sir.
I honestly hope he dies soon
so we can take a breather.
His Highness Emir Sadettin Köpek is here.
In this short life of mine,
you know what I came to realize,
Ertuğrul Bey?
What matters is the result,
not the goal.
Ural Bey's greed to achieve his goal
blinded him.
And this is the result he got.
This is how it is now.
But you followed the same wrong path.
Isn't that right, Ertuğrul?
I only follow the truth, Emir Sadettin.
The truth is that he killed my Alps.
You said the same for the death
of the governor, Ertuğrul.
However, look.
The truth is out.
Your anger towards Ural surprised you.
Admit it.
What do you want, Your Highness?
Just tell me.
I commend you for your bravery.
But I'd like to remind you that
you are now the leader of a huge tribe.
Yes, Ural Bey burned your rugs.
However, he insists that it was Batuhan,
not him, that killed your Alps.
Just like how he said
he didn't kill the governor.
If you're here to defend Ural,
I'm not the one you should be talking to.
It's the qadi, Your Highness.
According to Sharia law, he says
it's up to you to solve this problem.
By problem, I mean the bad blood
between the two tribes.
The blood feud.
Ural Bey lost his father.
His tribe is in shambles.
Tell me, Ertuğrul.
Who do you think
the Cavdar tribe will hold responsible
for all that has happened to them?
Ertuğrul, it's sorely obvious
that it was Batuhan,
not Ural, that killed your Alps.
Don't be stubborn.
Accept the ransom for the sake
of your Alps...
or you'll be the cause of a war
that breaks out when you're actually
trying to protect the peace.
Talk to the families of your Alps.
Convince them.
Tell me your decision before the trial.
I do hope
that you don't destroy the peace
with your decision.
I'll be waiting for your good news.
Acar Bey.
Why are you here?
It's important, Your Highness.
Come here.
What happened?
Unfortunately, Çolpan Hatun
lost her unborn baby.
Aliyar Bey put off the meeting.
Come with me.
All this devilry is for the Cavdar tribe,
Artuk Bey.
However, things have changed with
the death of Candar Bey.
Köpek wants us to agree to the ransom
and forgive Ural for a reason.
He'll do anything to make him the leader.
However, the Cavdars have already
chosen their leader.
Ertuğrul Bey, I bring greetings
from Aliyar Bey.
What is it, Kutluca?
Unfortunately, Çolpan Hatun lost his baby.
Aliyar Bey put off the meeting.
Sir, you'll be responsible for the death
of that child in the eyes of the people.
They'll see you as the head of the snake,
just the way Köpek wants.
Now, Köpek will be able to...
choose the leader of the Cavdars
as he wishes.
Acar Bey said he wanted to be a contender.
The elections will be between those two.
Moreover, Acar Bey is here.
They talked in secret with Emir Sadettin.
Even water is sometimes calm,
but the enemy never rests, Kutluca.
Acar Bey...
Does he have a chance?
That's why Aliyar Bey sent me, sir.
He thinks it possible.
He says Köpek is behind him.
If it so happens and Acar Bey wins,
he'll come after you, sir.
He's the closest man to Ural Bey
and Candar Bey.
If Aliyar Bey fails to take the reins...
and stop the devilry in his tribe,
there will be nothing left:
no peace nor justice.
Sir, in this turn of events,
it's not possible for Aliyar Bey to
be the leader the Cavdars.
If Köpek so wishes,
Aliyar can be the leader, Artuk Bey.
-I've a request, Kutluca.
-Yes, sir.
Tomorrow, during the meeting,
I'll be at the foot of Kiziltepe
with my men.
You'll tell me the situation every moment.
As you wish, sir.
On your orders,
I stood for the leadership.
To protect the token of Candar Bey.
For Ural Bey, and the good of our tribe.
However, the vote count is equal.
We can't risk losing the election.
The death of Ural Bey's baby
shall work in our favor.
It did.
However,
we must make sure.
Only Ural Bey can stop Aliyar Bey, sir.
As you said, if you can convince
Ertuğrul Bey,
and Ural Bey returns to the tribe,
then I will stand down
and vote for him.
Acar Bey,
go to your marquee and wait for my orders
with the other beys.
You'll never, ever, move a muscle
without my orders.
Son, you wanted to see us?
I'd like to consult you
on an important matter, Mother.
Emir Sadettin...
wants to save Ural with a ransom.
He negotiated with me.
He tried to kill my son.
Has he no fear of God?
The men he killed, their wives, mothers...
He's ruined them.
You've suffered a lot,
just like the families of my dead Alps.
That's why I wanted to consult with you.
What do you have on your mind?
I'd like to talk to the families
of my dead men
and convince them to settle
for the ransom.
Will you save the head of that Ural scum?
No, Halime.
The fate of these lands rests on the
unity of the Cavdar and Kayi tribes.
That's all I'm fighting for.
And to ensure that,
Aliyar gets to be the leader.
If it so happens
that Ural dies and Köpek gets to
choose the leader,
we won't be able to even dream of peace.
We can't fight both the governor
and the Cavdars at the same time.
We'll all die in this infighting.
That's why we must accept the ransom...
for Aliyar to be the leader.
How will that be?
I'll ask Emir Sadettin to support
Aliyar's leadership
in return for Ural's life.
And if he doesn't accept,
I'll kill Ural.
So, you're saying Ural will walk
just like that?
Ertuğrul Bey,
if that snake Ural lives,
it won't just be you that he takes
revenge on;
he'll attack our son Gunduz, too.
Can't you see?
Don't you know that I wouldn't
let it happen, woman?
Excuse me.
Dündar,
send for the families of my dead men.
I'll host them in my marquee tonight.
I'd like to consult them.
My man Ural...
I know what you think.
But remember this.
Once I bestow my hand on my men,
I save them, no matter what.
If you could just bestow
that hand already,
so that I could avenge my father...
You don't get it.
Ural, you don't.
How can you still want revenge?
I'll save you.
What matters is this.
Remember that.
Sad news, Ural.
What news?
Your wife Çolpan.
What about her?
Thank God, she's all right.
However, your child...
Ural Bey.
Only God may give life,
and only He may take it.
Do not revolt against God and
fall into sin.
I'll save you, Ural.
You'll get out of here.
Your duty is to be patient about
your revenge, Ural.
Damn, Ural.
Çolpan.
My baby.
How dare they bind me...
and hurt you?
Why are you all alone?
I'll come.
Çolpan...
I will come!
Elders and honorable beys...
of my tribe.
I put off the meeting due to this
painful event that we've gone through.
However, it's necessary to elect a leader.
I know...
that each one of you would like to
entrust me with my father's token.
However, Acar Bey tossed
his hat into the ring.
May God be my witness...
that I don't care who leads this tribe.
All I care about is who can ensure
the unity, livelihood, and peace
in my tribe.
Aliyar Bey.
We all know Acar Bey.
That's why we side with you.
He's nothing like you.
He's a greedy man just like Ural Bey.
If he were to be chosen,
we wouldn't have peace.
Then, there is the matter with Ural Bey.
He was absolved of killing the governor.
What if he's absolved of his other crimes
and comes back here alive?
Not to mention that
the vote count is equal.
Your chances are shaky at best
to become the leader, regardless of
whether Ural Bey returns.
God is great.
I want the leader to be a man
with good intentions.
Yes.
The vote count may be equal.
Now, I need your prayers and your support
more than ever.
We're always on your side, Aliyar Bey.
We all know just how fair, wise and
gallant you are.
May God let you be with us always.
Thank you.
If God permits it and I'm elected,
I'll ensure our unity.
We'll unite with the Kayis...
and the neighboring Turkmen tribes.
Don't worry about Ural.
He might be absolved of killing
the governor,
but he won't get away
with his other crimes.
Attention! The prisoner is on the run!
Come, you bastards!
Come at me!
You killed my father, my child!
I'll murder you all!
Men,
make way.
I'll kill you first, Turgut Alp.
You are not leaving this place
without killing me first.
Then...
untie me and let us settle
our unfinished business.
Untie him.
How did this traitor manage to escape?
How?
Is this how you stand guard?
His door was locked, sir.
It shouldn't have been possible.
Apparently, he knocked out
the Alps coming inside.
Take him away.
Chain him down.
You'll not feed him a drop of water!
KAYI VILLAGE
Those that choose to be the oppressed,
rather than the oppressor;
those that choose to be martyrs,
rather than killers;
brave men, and long-suffering women...
of the Kayi,
I know our wounds run deep.
I lost my brothers; you lost your sons,
your husbands.
What they ask of us makes our blood boil.
However, we want peace!
We don't want to spill a fellow
Muslim's blood!
We don't need new enemies!
We can't let those who'd rather have
the Muslims fight each other rejoice!
I lost my son, not my gold coins,
Ertuğrul Bey.
How much gold could bring
my son back to life?
Nobody said the gold could
bring your son back.
Your men were killed on the way to God.
They died for the peace
and good of our tribe.
Our ransom will not be gold, but peace!
We'll strive to maintain that peace.
Why would we forgive those
who'd do us wrong?
You all know that...
our prophet was stoned in Ta'if.
He was wronged.
However, he begged God...
for their forgiveness, with the future
on his mind.
Now, I know that if I were to let
the Kayi tribe
run free, nobody would survive the hell
we could inflict upon the Cavdar tribe.
However, we can't hold
the entire Cavdar tribe responsible
for Ural Bey.
Then, Ertuğrul Bey,
will this keep on happening again?
Ayse Hatun,
when the right time comes,
and the dawn breaks,
surely, we'll ride our horses,
gird on our weapons,
and strike our swords on the enemy.
However, now is the time for peace.
Sir, you know us.
We trust you.
For the good of our tribe,
we are with you.
Ertuğrul's words enraged me, Mother.
Dear, Ertuğrul is just as angry that
Ural hurt his son.
It's enraging him as well,
don't you see that?
But he doesn't want to let
any more blood spill.
Mother,
he slaughtered our men,
tried to shoot my Gunduz,
the future of our tribe,
and even sent his own sister to her death.
Why would he save him?
What if he becomes the leader
of the Cavdars one day?
What do we do then?
Halime.
Since when do wives question
their husbands' decisions?
Let them do what they know best.
Ertuğrul is setting Ural free so that
Aliyar becomes the leader of the Cavdars.
Don't let your worries get in his way.
Even those who lost their sons
and husbands agree with it.
Don't be childish, Halime.
Come to your senses.
KARACAHISAR CASTLE
They're spreading
further by the day.
They're nomads, Commander.
They can pack their tents
and move far away.
And if they can hold onto their new land,
they spread like wildfire and multiply.
I know.
They're everywhere, Governor Vasilius.
They're scattered, but they're everywhere.
We must clean this fort's vicinity.
If we wage war on them, they unite.
They'll be stronger with the help
of Seljuk Sultanate.
However,
if any of them happen to get stronger,
they unite against him.
Their biggest weakness is jealousy.
Exactly.
There's a huge strife between
Ertuğrul and Ural.
Ertuğrul is a wise and good warrior.
As is Ural. However,
his greed slows him down.
Should Ural be released and become
the leader of his tribe,
then we can watch the lot of them
set fire to each other up on the walls.
I hope it turns out as you predicted
and Köpek saves Ural.
Köpek is an expert in rhetoric
and a clever man...
as well as the biggest traitor
if have ever met.
He will definitely save him.
Thank God he's not one of us.
So, what if Köpek
doesn't keep his promise?
What if Ural Bey is elected
instead of Aliyar?
What do we do then?
Köpek has to keep his promise.
If Ural is elected the leader,
we will get Aliyar Bey and Kutluca
out of there.
That's why we must be close to their camp.
What will we do there, sir?
Are we going to interfere?
Aliyar Bey lives on his wisdom
and fights with his patience.
If Aliyar Bey is not elected,
then we will swing our swords
and fight in the name of justice.
Sir,
are we going to kill the Cavdar tribesman?
If it comes to that,
we will, Dündar.
Bey.
I acted on my anger again.
When I should have been supporting you,
I did things that could have
gotten you in a bind.
Even when those who lost their sons
and husbands had accepted...
and supported your decision,
I acted irrationally.
I will not act like this again, Ertuğrul.
I don't have the right.
You are a mother, Halime.
You have a soft heart.
However, you should know...
that I wouldn't let Ural go
if I had the choice.
Whatever I do,
I do it for the future of our baby,
and the safety of my people.
How is our baby?
He's grown quite well.
He eats what I eat, drinks what I drink,
kicks when I'm sad...
and sleeps in peace when I'm happy.
Especially when you are with me.
Daddy!
Gunduz! My son! Stop!
Good boy.
See how he makes
an old woman run around?
My dear, I am but an old woman.
Do you understand?
Where have you been, Father?
I missed you.
You've grown a beard already.
See him speak.
And he makes no bones about it.
My dear, don't speak
like that to your father.
Nobody should get on his nerves.
So true.
Of course he'll speak; he's my son!
He'll speak nothing but the truth, right?
Of course, Daddy.
I wouldn't stray from the truth.
That's my son.
Helena.
Good evening, Helena.
Do you have a moment to spare?
Come in, Vasilius.
It's late, why are you here?
Did something happen?
Yes.
There's news.
But good news.
Let's hear it.
After a long while,
for the first time ever,
I felt that I was human,
and not just a scrap of iron.
You made me realize this.
After the death of your father,
I thought you'd leave.
For a moment,
I felt a pain ever so slight in my heart.
I thought that I couldn't let you go,
that you should stay...
and be the protector
of my heart in my struggles.
That you should give me courage,
and make me happy.
And till the day I die,
that I should see...
your beautiful face.
Vasilius...
-Vasilius, I...
-Stay with me.
Help me protect this keep.
Let's protect your father's heritage.
Vasilius, I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything.
Let's have dinner tomorrow.
We can talk about the future,
our future, then.
Okay?
I wish you a good night.
Breathe, son.
Breathe the air that God created.
This grief pains me so, Master.
It's like the entire realm
has collapsed on me.
You're burdened by all the cruel deeds.
You're being tested, harshly.
I'm carrying the burden of my martyrs
on one side, peace on the other.
I feel like I'm waiting, standing
on cinders with bare feet.
Letting Ural go might
feel like an unwise decision.
However, this is nothing but another test
preparing you for your great future.
You can win only by sacrificing.
Your decisions will be questioned,
you'll be broken, you'll gasp for breath.
However, you'll get stronger
with each test you pass.
Then, you'll be the father of a generation
that'll change the course of history.
Hopefully.
I follow the laws of my faith,
and my faith is sound as ever.
I will not yield so long as
my voice echoes in this world.
However, I know the cruel will not stop.
They won't refrain from using the pain
of those that I love against me.
And that's what's consuming me.
Man is filled with various grievances like
a cargo ship is filled with containers.
If you give in to your grief,
you'll sink in the sea of truth.
First, rid yourself of your worries.
You do that to protect the cruel
and the peace all the same.
You must curb your desires,
and take kindly to the harsh remarks
your loved ones make.
It may not be possible for all to see
the good hidden in the bad.
What matters is the path you walk.
And with God's permit,
your path ends well.
Be at ease.
Thank you.
Up until now,
I haven't let my sword get rusty.
But now I see that I must sheathe
my sword and fight with my mind.
That's right, Ertuğrul.
The prophet Ali says thus: "The greatest
fortune is the mind.
Words uttered by your mind
are sharper than any blade."
Then go ahead and fight with your mind,
use words as your weapon.
You can't win every fight
on the battlefield.
Remember the Treaty of Hudaybiyah that
our prophet signed despite the opposition
from his companions.
He was agonizing over not being
able to see Kaaba again,
but he blessed this agreement
to prevent the spill
of any more Muslim blood.
Because every believer he could lose
meant that he'd stray farther
from his goal.
Executing Ural will not lead you
to victory, son.
However, if you protect the peace
and fight with your mind,
then this will surely
lead you to victory.
Sir, you called?
Bamsi.
Head for the fort, talk to Helena,
see if you can make her talk.
Ask her if she's willing to work with us
in punishing her father's killers.
And visit Haçaturyan and Dumrul
and see if they have anything to say.
-As you wish, sir.
-Come on! Godspeed.
Samsa.
Ride for the Cavdar camp.
Meet with Aliyar Bey.
Tell him that I'm going to release Ural
in order to stop this escalating
blood feud.
However, tell him not to worry.
I'll make a deal with Emir Sadettin.
I'll never let Ural become their leader.
If Emir Sadettin supports Ural
in his leadership,
thus disregarding our deal...
then we shall strike with our swords.
If he doesn't, then I'll congratulate
Aliyar Bey's leadership personally myself.
-As you wish, sir.
-Go now, Godspeed.
Where is Ertuğrul Bey?
-Your Highness.
-Ertuğrul Bey.
I hope you lost sleep thinking
over my words.
Ural Bey attempted to escape last night.
His grief and anger are growing.
What would you do
if they told you that your son died?
You asked me to release him for the peace
and the good of Turkmen tribes.
What if he managed to escape?
What would happen then?
But he failed, right?
If you release him,
he'll be under my command.
If he crosses the line and attempts
to take revenge on you, I'll get him.
What if he runs for the leadership?
I wouldn't meddle with that.
You know as well as I do that
he has a right.
Before this, Emir Sadettin,
I'd like to make sure that you'll obey
Sultan's orders in peace.
Are you doubting me?
What's on your mind?
I don't want Ural to be their new bey.
Not even you can stop
what that may entail.
Are you underestimating
the power of Seljuk Sultanate?
I convinced the families
of my dead men to release Ural.
Their mothers, their wives,
want peace, not gold.
They want peace between the two tribes.
So be it. That's what befits
the Kayi tribe.
However, my only condition is that
Aliyar becomes the bey.
I will say it now.
Talk to the other beys.
Convince them to choose Aliyar.
I know you're powerful enough to do that.
What if they disregard me
and opt to elect Ural?
The power of our country is in your hands.
Are you underestimating the power
of our country, or your own abilities?
If you can't even guarantee this,
why are we even here?
Then, there is not much I can do.
It's almost time for execution.
Excuse me.
Wait! Stop!
Alright, I'll go along with it.
But what if Ural convinces the
other beys to choose him?
-What happens then?
-Then there'll be no peace, Your Highness.
I'll be the one to break the peace.
We'll both suffer the consequences
of your inability to keep your promise.
Then, tell him your decision.
Did you decide, Ertuğrul Bey?
I don't have the right to
decide on my own.
I consulted with my people.
They want peace as well.
For the good of our tribes,
I accept the diet for Ural.
Our God is all forgiving.
He pardons all and loves those who do so.
This decision of yours will surely
bring peace upon this land.
-Hopefully.
-Hopefully.
So, Ural Bey, you attempted to escape
last night.
I was going to avenge my father
and my child, if I could.
And you hold me responsible
for your uncontrollable greed?
The reason you are here,
and why all those brave men died,
is nothing but your greed.
You'll not find peace
even if you should take my head.
Now, take me away and get it over with.
I talked to the families of my dead men.
They want to release you.
They don't want the diet for their
husbands, sons, brothers.
Do you know why?
Because you've gone through
things worse than death.
You lost your loved ones
because of your greed.
Dying would be a way out for you.
Not to mention the catastrophe it'd
cause to both our tribes.
That's why we decided to let you live,
so that you may repent all your life.
To stop this blood feud,
and prevent any more deaths.
They want the diet for their dead
to be at peace.
Now, leave.
However, remember this.
I'll know every step you take,
I'll watch every breath you take.
If you make one wrong move,
you'll find me before you.
Dogan.
At last, you've learned
how to be fair, huh, Ertuğrul Bey?
And you're still threatening me.
However, you're not aware of the
games they're playing behind our backs.
I told you I was innocent, but alas.
Because of your obstinacy,
I lost my father, my son!
How will you
continue living knowing this,
Ertuğrul Bey?
Now, go.
I don't want to see you in this inn again.
Men!
I thought I was walking to my death
on this path, now I walk to my freedom.
You can keep this rotten inn!
Stop talking, or I won't be responsible
for what happens.
You're not with your men this time,
Turgut Alp.
Don't test my patience.
And what if I do?
Then, I'll send you to hell,
to where your Aykiz is.
Turgut!
I ordered you to take him away,
not to kill him.
The arrow you shot into my son
was like a knife in my heart.
And the pain is still throbbing, Ural.
This slap will make sure you don't
forget your deeds.
For a brave man, being slapped
is worse than eating embers.
Either you settle down,
or I'll keep on slapping you.
Take him.
Calm down, Foreman Haçaturyan.
What happened?
Uh!
Keep your voice down!
Don't call me by my name.
You'll call me Alvin.
Dumrul, mind what you say!
What did I say?
Helena! Welcome, m'lady!
May your joy be everlasting,
Merchant Alvin.
Please, forgive us. We're a bit excited.
You see, we got a new shop,
and a lot of coins to earn.
You're too excited
for an experienced merchant.
Umm...
Never lose your enthusiasm, as they say.
That's the first thing you should know
about tradesmanship, taught by my master.
Anyway, what do you think?
Will you give us the shop?
I have many fond memories about this shop.
When I was a child, my father
gave this place to a merchant.
I'd come here every chance I got.
His name was Arsen.
You remind me of him, Alvin.
That's why I'll give you this shop.
You couldn't have made me happier, Helena.
You may come here to take a break
every chance you get, m'lady.
Please don't hit me!
When the cunning jackals attack,
the horses lean on each other.
So whatever...
comes running up from behind,
gets kicked in the face.
Now,
that's how we should be, tight-knit.
So that once those devils attack,
we may have allies that'll protect us.
That's why, either Aliyar
is elected the leader, or...
we'll take our revenge on those
that go back on their word.
-Blessed be our holy war!
-Yes, sir!
Show mercy! Please!
Please, mercy!
There's an order in this fort.
It seems the late
governor spoiled you all.
I'm the governor now.
I won't forgive any merchant
that doesn't pay their tax on time.
Sir, my dear sir!
The business is going bad,
we can't sell our produce.
We're in a pinch, please show mercy!
-Please, stop!
-Don't, please!
I see you still don't realize
the situation we are in.
We are at war!
How can we fight if you don't pay
your taxes?
We're laying down our lives for you
and you can't lay down a few coins!
Those who don't pay their taxes,
should not expect protection from us.
Get the hell out of here!
This will be our warning. Flog him!
Show mercy!
Don't do this!
Show mercy!
-May I enter, sir?
-Come in, Kutluca.
Sir, Samsa Alp wants to talk to you,
with your permission.
Yes, Samsa Alp?
Aliyar Bey, I brought news
from Ertuğrul Bey.
He said he'd release Ural Bey
to protect the peace.
What did you say?
This is what he said.
He wants you to relax.
He won't let Ural be the leader.
That's why he made a deal with
Emir Sadettin.
All the beys under Emir Sadettin's
command will vote for you.
And if they break their promise,
Ertuğrul Bey said we would
retaliate with swords.
Samsa, how could he trust
Emir Sadettin?
God, what's the meaning of this?
Protect us from this looming doom!
Hopefully, sir. Excuse me.
I hope things go as Ertuğrul Bey planned.
Or it will be a bloodbath.
I'll keep Ertuğrul Bey informed
from moment to moment.
I hope I shoot my arrows in good news.
I hope so, too.
I hope so.
Enough! Give it to me! Move!
No!
Enough!
Enough!
Enough!
Vasilius!
What do you think you are doing?
My father entrusted these people to me.
Don't you see that they're going
through hardship?
Let the man go.
Let him go, you'll kill him!
Your father was just as compassionate.
And look what happened!
Nobody is paying their taxes.
They won't listen to reason.
Don't interfere.
When the enemy attacks your keep,
you won't need coins, but these men
that trust you, Governor Vasilius.
Move!
-Are you okay?
-May God protect you, Helena.
-Come.
-Somebody help this poor man.
Are you all right?
You...
Thank you, as well.
-Who are you?
-I'm Merchant Alvin.
I work at the shop over there.
I'll be working with you now.
-Welcome.
-Welcome.
-May you earn a lot!
-May God protect you!
-Welcome.
-May God protect you.
He's a cruel man.
May God help us all.
I'm grateful to you, Alvin.
Let's carry you over to your shop
and clean your wounds, okay?
Come now.
-May God protect you!
-Come on.
May God protect you.
Oh dear!
Helena Hatun!
-Bamsi!
-Listen.
Why are you here?
Listen, Helena, I must tell you something.
I mean, Ertuğrul Bey
wants to tell you something.
He says the head of the snake
is in this keep.
Helena, be careful.
You know, your father trusted us
to protect the peace.
Petrus and that dog Laskaris
appeared out of the blue.
We don't know how Vasilius got them.
Helena, you must help us now
so that we may solve this together.
I'll do whatever I can, Bamsi.
Trust me.
You're the best! Well done!
Helena, tell me.
How are you? Are you all right?
Actually, I'm not, Bamsi.
What? What happened?
Vasilius.
It feels like...
he wants to tell me something.
I mean, he hasn't said it clearly yet
but it's obvious what he wants.
I'm afraid,
he wants to marry me.
Bamsi.
Bamsi!
Come to your senses, big guy!
Why are you here?
I came on Ertuğrul Bey's orders.
Then why are you walking around
like a corpse?
Foreman Haçaturyan!
That bastard Vasilius
wants to marry Helena.
Bamsi! Enough!
Old man.
Isn't it such a shame?
That hyena would hurt her!
Hold on. Nothing's happened yet.
Plus, Helena is a clever girl.
She wouldn't marry that madman.
-She wouldn't, right?
-Of course not!
I'm the master of gold, I know this well.
Helena is gold, while Vasilius is iron.
Iron and gold never mix together.
Helena deserves a man with heart of gold
like you.
Come on!
Come now!
We have good news for Ertuğrul Bey.
May I enter?
Come in, Your Highness.
Any news from my Ural, Your Highness?
Ural Bey's innocence has been proven.
The emir of Seljuks is doing his best
in the name of justice.
Ural Bey is released for a diet.
Is that true, Your Highness?
Where is he now?
He's on his way here.
He should be here any moment now.
Aslıhan.
I told you I'd keep my promise.
Then I shall keep my promise too.
We will marry after the meeting,
Your Highness.
Then let me attend the meeting now.
You know, your brother
will stand for the leadership.
What if my brother Ural isn't elected?
I'll do everything within my power
to ensure that.
Don't you worry.
-Welcome, sir.
-Thank you, Turgut.
-We're all ready, just as you ordered.
-Well done.
-Has Ural returned yet?
-Emir Sadettin arrived first.
We saw Ural galloping
towards the camp as well.
We will either go and
congratulate Aliyar Bey's victory,
or we'll go to take Ural Bey's head.
Welcome home, sir.
Welcome home, sir.
Welcome home, sir.
Welcome home, sir.
Welcome home, sir.
-Çolpan!
-Ural!
Brother!
I'm so lucky to be blessed with a sister
like you, Aslıhan.
You didn't leave me or my wife alone.
I won't forget this.
Thank God you are back.
I came back without
a stain on my character, Çolpan.
Qadi released me, I'm free now.
Our baby...
No more grieving.
No more sadness.
Now is the time for revenge.
I'll take what's rightfully mine, Çolpan.
I'll take it all.
We will elect the bey of our tribe now.
May God be with us.
Amen.
Am I interrupting?
Not at all, Your Highness.
You're most welcome, Your Highness.
I've come to ensure the election
is carried out in fairness, in the name of
Seljuk Sultanate.
I do hope this election
ends in good faith, and in fairness.
-Thank you, Your Highness.
-Thank you.
Go ahead.
You may sit.
There is no unanimous agreement
among the beys.
So they have to vote.
Honorable beys of Cavdar Tribe!
Just as I've been
absolved of all the blame,
I've now been absolved of the blame
put on me by Batuhan.
Qadi has released me.
Now, there's nothing holding me back
from standing for the leadership.
I hereby announce my candidacy
to continue my father's legacy.
I've talked to Qadi about it.
Ural is telling the truth.
He may stand for the leadership.
Then we now have three
candidates for the leadership
May God bless us with a good result.
Amen.
Amen.
Ural Bey has come to the tents,
and he is a candidate to be a bey.
It is up to Köpek now.
Be prepared.
I wouldn't put anything past
either of them.
The last arrow to come
will determine the future for us,
peace, and these lands.
Brave beys of the Cavdar Tribe.
First of all, for Ural Bey
coming back to us
having been found not guilty,
I'd like to congratulate him.
There is no longer a black mark
on our tribe.
I'd like to see your votes
for the last time.
If you'll excuse me,
I have some things to say.
I was a candidate to be a bey.
But I wouldn't want to stand
between the two sons of our deceased bey.
As a result,
I am no longer a candidate.
I wanted you to know this.
Do you have anything to say,
Ural Bey?
The decision you'll come to
will determine the future
of our tribes and these lands.
May God help us reach the best decision.
Amen.
Do you have anything to say,
Aliyar Bey?
The destiny of our tribe is clear.
You will not only elect a bey,
but also the margrave
that Emir Sadettin sees fit for us.
What's best is
for you to elect the bey
that will dedicate his life to his tribe.
The margrave that will bring
the Turkmen tribes together.
Those who see Ural Bey as worthy,
raise your hands.
Those who think Aliyar Bey is worthy of
ruling our tribe, raise your hands.
Aliyar Bey received all the votes,
and has become the bey of our tribe.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Aliyar Bey...
The new bey of the Cavdar Tribe
is elected.
Ural?
Aliyar Bey is the bey now.
From now on, the bey of the Cavdar Tribe
is Aliyar Bey.
Turgut, we're going to the Cavdar Tribe.
For the peace, for our unity,
for our well-being and brotherhood.
All right, Bey.
Doğan, you take the rest of the alps
and go back to the tribe.
There is no need for a war now.
Take the good news to the tribe.
As you wish, Bey.
-Any news from the castle, Bamsi?
-Yes, there is, Bey.
As you ordered, Master Haçaturyan
has rented the shop.
What is the matter, big guy?
Is something wrong?
You look like you lost your weapons.
My weapons, brother,
are with me, thank God.
But Helena Hatun...
Her, brother.
I lost her.
How?
That dog, the Lord, is going to marry her.
Brave men of the Cavdar Tribe,
you've honored me
by electing me as your bey.
I'm grateful to all of you.
-My deceased father--
-Aliyar!
How dare you utter the name of my father?
Beys of the Cavdar tribe,
what do you think you're doing?
I deserve to be the bey.
Don't you know what my father said?
My father told you this time after time.
I cleared my name
and came back to my tribe.
How could you elect someone as bey
who caused my father and my child to die?
Brother!
Ural Bey!
It's not befitting for a bey
to go against traditions.
It's Aliyar Bey now
who deserves to be the bey.
And you should be loyal to your bey,
and do what's best for your state
and your tribe.
You've finally reached your goal,
Ertuğrul Bey.
I hope you don't ruin our tribe,
like you ruined your own tribe.
You've won for today.
Now go and celebrate your victory
with Aliyar in our tents.
Aslıhan Hatun.
I didn't become the bey of the Cavdars,
Aliyar Bey did.
Your brother, Aliyar Bey.
Aliyar Bey who you like very much.
You've finally managed to
make him like you, Ertuğrul Bey.
May God bring us good.
Whatever good may come with you.
Köpek, Sadettin Köpek!
He must be behind this.
Ural won't stay still now.
He'll do everything he can
to become bey.
He will bide his time,
and kill Aliyar Bey.
What will we do now, Batuhan?
Bugay. Wolves enjoy misty days.
We'll wait for mist to come to the tribe.
When Ural kills his brother,
we'll do what's necessary.
Now go back to the tribe,
and wait for my signal with the Alps.
By God's name.
By the name of God.
For our state and the Turkmen,
may your rule bring good, Aliyar Bey.
Your murderers have won, Father.
Those who caused your grandchild's death
are now celebrating their victory
with your tribe.
Forgive me, Father.
I couldn't stop it.
Forgive me.
Aslıhan Hatun...
You are so naive,
so beautiful.
Never mind being angry at you,
I can't even feel sorry for you.
Murderer!
Murderer!
Aslıhan!
Aslıhan! Aslıhan!
Welcome to our tribe, Ertuğrul Bey.
-Thank you.
-Please.
May justice be your weapon,
mercy be your shield, and God help you.
May your victory be blessed,
and your rule glorious.
Please, Ertuğrul Bey.
Praise be to God.
Honored beys of my tribe.
From now on, the Cavdars
and the Kayis are one.
Our strength, law, pain and joy are one.
Their friends are our friends,
their enemies are our enemies.
For the perpetuity of our state,
the welfare of our tribe
and the continuity of the peace,
I will work as hard as I can.
And Ertuğrul Bey is my greatest supporter
on this path.
The beys, the elderly, and the brave men
of the Cavdar tribe.
I don't have the slightest doubt
about Aliyar Bey's justice and competence.
May your decision bring good.
May your blessing and peace last long.
I'd like you to know
that the gates of the inn and the market
are wide open for the Cavdars.
Anyone can trade there
as they wish.
God bless you.
May your blessing last long.
Long live Ertuğrul Bey.
God bless you.
Our brotherhood will be an example
for all Turkmen.
The unity that our Sultan wishes for
will come to happen
through our efforts and of course,
with the support of Emir Sadettin.
Now, let both the feast and the hunt
belong to Aliyar Bey.
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
The brave
and honorable beys of Cavdar Tribe!
Our sorrow is great.
Every day...
we are being tested with a new pain.
And that's why
I am suggesting that we should...
postpone the meeting.
Ural Bey's unborn child died.
Our sorrow is great, of course.
Before Candar Bey's body is cold,
while Ural Bey was being executed,
we held a meeting.
Why? Because our tribe needs a new leader.
Why do you want to
postpone the meeting, Aliyar Bey?
Our tribe has a leader, Acar Bey.
I am the deputy for my father.
And the meeting will be held tomorrow.
That is it!
Kutluca!
I...
have proved that I am a tekfur
worthy of our emperor.
I killed the murderers in front
of your eyes and served justice.
The case is closed for me.
It is your decision
what you do with Ural Bey.
Let's go, Helena.
Tekfur Vasilius.
The man who wants to serve
the justice himself...
must be hiding something.
Remember this, Ertuğrul Bey.
I have saved not only you...
but both Turkmen tribes...
and the Seljuk Empire
from a great scheme.
And now it's our duty to protect the peace
that our state agreed upon.
Ural Bey was found guilty of
killing your alps with his alp, Batuhan,
and burning your rugs.
It was decided that Ural Bey and Laskaris
had killed the tekfur together.
The case you've covered up
has just opened again for me.
Justice will be served
only when this scheme is over.
Ertuğrul Bey...
it is obvious the murder of the tekfur
is just a slander against Ural Bey
and nobody is trying to cover up anything.
On the contrary,
we have learned the truth.
And you have unintentionally supported
this scheme.
Thankfully, I know the Templars
better than you.
Ertuğrul Bey doesn't fully understand
what they are capable of.
May God protect us all.
Let's go, Helena.
Farewell, Bamsi Beyrek.
I haven't said my final word yet,
Ural Bey.
Remember, your arrogant head
is still at the edge of my sword.
Qadi Almighty...
According to the rules,
the execution should be postponed...
and you should review the decision again.
Emir Almighty is right.
We should review the decision.
You are just postponing justice
by doing this, Qadi Almighty.
It will not change the fact
that Ural had my alps killed.
We tried Ural Bey
for both the murders of the tekfur,
and your alps, Ertuğrul Bey.
And we should try him again, this time
only for the accusation of murdering alps.
But, since he has been proven guilty
for that,
the sentence of death won't change,
unless you want otherwise.
God commands that
you shall serve the justice properly.
And that's why Ural Bey should be tried
only for the murder of your alps.
Even though his sentence will remain
the same,
we should do that.
Justice...
will be served now, Ertuğrul Bey.
Everybody will see that you are a liar.
And then
it will be your turn to be tried.
The case is closed.
But I will certainly come again.
You should.
You can come whenever you want.
I'll be waiting for you.
You are more than welcome.
Helena!
Don't get too close to Turks, they're like
hyenas playing with their prey.
Commander...
Commander!
We are not you,
we don't play with anybody.
And we all know...
who is the hyena
and who is the lion.
Stop, just stop.
Vasilius, let's go.
Let's go!
CAVDAR TRIBE
Acar Bey
aspires to be the bey of the tribe,
this is not a good sign, Kutluca.
He is not qualified
to be the leader of our tribe, Bey.
Ural Bey's baby is dead,
and now it would make
Acar's supporters more furious.
Everything would be over
if you hadn't postponed the meeting, Bey.
Who is behind Acar Bey?
Sadettin Köpek, of course.
We will not let anybody
sow discord
among our tribe, Kutluca.
I will be loyal to you
until my dying breath, Bey.
Go to Ertuğrul Bey quick
and tell him the situation.
Yes, Bey.
You will not run away from me.
I will
get out of here freely, you'll see.
And I will come after you.
-Ural...
-Hmm.
Watch your mouth.
Don't mind him, Brother. Be patient.
We will see
his head is cut off from his body.
God willing.
Turgut Alp, come to me.
I wouldn't touch a tied man.
Untie me, then.
Untie me,
and I will show you who is the boss!
Ertuğrul Bey has the right...
to cut your throat.
He escaped from his death again.
When will he die, God?
He thinks that
he can be absolved and go away.
He doesn't deserve to breathe again.
Bey, he was absolved
of the tekfur murder.
However, we have evidence that
he killed our alps and burned our rugs.
He cannot get away with it.
His deceased father...
Aliyar Bey, Aslıhan Hatun,
all of them witnessed that he gave
the order to Batuhan for this.
Do not be so sure about it.
How could Vasilius find
that bastard Petrus in just one night?
How could he get those records?
Why did he kill Petrus and Laskaris
here instead of taking them to İznik?
If we can't answer these questions,
we will get nothing.
What are you thinking, Son?
Vasilius suddenly showed up
and saved Ural from the tekfur murder.
I think he did so for a reason.
They are plotting something against us.
It is obvious that
Vasilius and Köpek are allies now.
Their only intention is to absolve Ural,
and make him the bey of his tribe.
They will do anything for that.
Ural Bey went too far for the trade.
Right.
However, although
he ordered his man to burn the rugs,
his alp Batuhan, who is still at large,
used initiative
and massacred those alps
by hiring some bandits.
What do you mean, Emir Almighty?
What I mean is, Qadi Almighty...
What I mean is...
it is obvious that Ural Bey
is responsible for this ominous event.
That is correct.
Even he didn't want to do that,
Kayi alps' blood is on his hands now.
But beheading him wouldn't be fair.
The punishment shouldn't be execution. No!
No.
Because that would...
sow discord among these tribes.
And once it starts...
brothers will kill each other.
As God commands in the 40th verse
of The Counsel surah of the Quran:
"The recompense for an injury
is an injury equal thereto.
But if a person forgives
and makes reconciliation,
his reward is due from Allah."
So, it is not up to us, Emir Almighty.
Ertuğrul Bey, who lost his alps,
could want retaliation
by persuading the families,
or by diet.
He will be the one who decides.
May your scales of justice
never be unbalanced.
Are you the merchant
who wants to rent my father's shop?
Call me Master Alvin.
I am forever loyal to you.
I need to say that I am very sorry
about the things that happened to you.
I am praying for God
to have his mercy on your father.
Where were you trading before,
Master Alvin? I think...
I know you from somewhere.
You must have seen me somewhere before,
I have been doing business
all over the world.
We must have met before.
I was in Nicaea most recently.
I would be pleased to have you
at our castle, Master Alvin.
And I'd like to get to know you better
before making a decision.
But excuse me for today.
-As you can see, I am very tired.
-Oh...
Of course, I wouldn't upset
a kind woman like you.
We will wait till tomorrow.
If you'll excuse me now.
I will visit you tomorrow.
Be our guest at our castle today.
You are so kind, thank you.
Helena, I need to go back to my business.
You should rest,
you have been through a lot.
Knowing that your father's real murderers
were found must have relieved you.
They got what they deserve.
And Ural is absolved.
Now you can sleep in peace.
Come, wave, take me
and put me again in his arms.
May I come in, Aslıhan Hatun?
Yes.
The truth was revealed finally,
Aslıhan Hatun.
Ural Bey was acquitted
of the tekfur murder charge.
Thank God.
The other charges?
Ural was proven innocent
of the tekfur murder.
The plan you had with Ertuğrul
to make you the bey has failed.
What are you going to do now?
Sadakallahülazim.
Know your place, Aslıhan.
I have never had secret plans
to be the bey.
Anger has blinded you.
At least for once,
act reasonably, Aslıhan.
You are the last person
who could advise me.
Everything happened because of you.
Do you think Ural's acquittal
from the tekfur's murder changes anything?
He burned the rugs with Batuhan,
he killed those innocent alps,
you know that, just like everyone else.
Ural made a mistake and gave an order
to burn the rugs.
However,
the one who killed the alps was Batuhan.
That will be proved, too.
Then, you and Ertuğrul
will be held accountable.
May God heal your eyes, Aslıhan.
Because you are blind
and cannot see the truth.
Ural's baby has died
in his mother's womb, Aliyar.
You are responsible for that.
Likewise,
you are responsible for my father's death.
So, shame on you.
Shame on you.
Shame on you, Aliyar.
This Vasilius...
He is trying to gain influence
over Helena.
He is playing up to her.
How was Ural absolved,
I just can't understand that.
That is not good, Dumrul.
That is not good.
I bet Vasilius has a hand in it.
I know these people well, Haçaturyan Usta.
They always have secret plans.
That is why we are here.
Let's discuss what are we going to do now.
My old mind has stopped working.
Think, old man. Just think!
We need to infiltrate the castle
by acting like one of them.
We should laugh with them
and we should cry with them.
First, we should rent this shop and...
What about...
What about Helena? What if she says no?
What if she doesn't let us rent
the shop? What will we do, Dumrul?
You will work your magic on her,
Haçaturyan Usta.
If I was a sweet talker like you,
I'd be able to rent this castle!
-No way. Really?
-Yes.
So, Ural was absolved
of the tekfur's murder?
God-damned Sadettin Köpek!
He can do anything.
Now he will do his best
to absolve Ural of his other crimes!
What do we do now, Batuhan?
Let's see who the new bey will be.
Then we will do what's necessary.
Bugay, inform me of everything.
Do not worry.
We are ready.
When you say it is time,
we will take action.
Don't give in to Ural's enticing
words and do something stupid.
Don't worry, sir.
We won't forget to feed him.
He's getting on my nerves, sir.
I honestly hope he dies soon
so we can take a breather.
His Highness Emir Sadettin Köpek is here.
In this short life of mine,
you know what I came to realize,
Ertuğrul Bey?
What matters is the result,
not the goal.
Ural Bey's greed to achieve his goal
blinded him.
And this is the result he got.
This is how it is now.
But you followed the same wrong path.
Isn't that right, Ertuğrul?
I only follow the truth, Emir Sadettin.
The truth is that he killed my Alps.
You said the same for the death
of the governor, Ertuğrul.
However, look.
The truth is out.
Your anger towards Ural surprised you.
Admit it.
What do you want, Your Highness?
Just tell me.
I commend you for your bravery.
But I'd like to remind you that
you are now the leader of a huge tribe.
Yes, Ural Bey burned your rugs.
However, he insists that it was Batuhan,
not him, that killed your Alps.
Just like how he said
he didn't kill the governor.
If you're here to defend Ural,
I'm not the one you should be talking to.
It's the qadi, Your Highness.
According to Sharia law, he says
it's up to you to solve this problem.
By problem, I mean the bad blood
between the two tribes.
The blood feud.
Ural Bey lost his father.
His tribe is in shambles.
Tell me, Ertuğrul.
Who do you think
the Cavdar tribe will hold responsible
for all that has happened to them?
Ertuğrul, it's sorely obvious
that it was Batuhan,
not Ural, that killed your Alps.
Don't be stubborn.
Accept the ransom for the sake
of your Alps...
or you'll be the cause of a war
that breaks out when you're actually
trying to protect the peace.
Talk to the families of your Alps.
Convince them.
Tell me your decision before the trial.
I do hope
that you don't destroy the peace
with your decision.
I'll be waiting for your good news.
Acar Bey.
Why are you here?
It's important, Your Highness.
Come here.
What happened?
Unfortunately, Çolpan Hatun
lost her unborn baby.
Aliyar Bey put off the meeting.
Come with me.
All this devilry is for the Cavdar tribe,
Artuk Bey.
However, things have changed with
the death of Candar Bey.
Köpek wants us to agree to the ransom
and forgive Ural for a reason.
He'll do anything to make him the leader.
However, the Cavdars have already
chosen their leader.
Ertuğrul Bey, I bring greetings
from Aliyar Bey.
What is it, Kutluca?
Unfortunately, Çolpan Hatun lost his baby.
Aliyar Bey put off the meeting.
Sir, you'll be responsible for the death
of that child in the eyes of the people.
They'll see you as the head of the snake,
just the way Köpek wants.
Now, Köpek will be able to...
choose the leader of the Cavdars
as he wishes.
Acar Bey said he wanted to be a contender.
The elections will be between those two.
Moreover, Acar Bey is here.
They talked in secret with Emir Sadettin.
Even water is sometimes calm,
but the enemy never rests, Kutluca.
Acar Bey...
Does he have a chance?
That's why Aliyar Bey sent me, sir.
He thinks it possible.
He says Köpek is behind him.
If it so happens and Acar Bey wins,
he'll come after you, sir.
He's the closest man to Ural Bey
and Candar Bey.
If Aliyar Bey fails to take the reins...
and stop the devilry in his tribe,
there will be nothing left:
no peace nor justice.
Sir, in this turn of events,
it's not possible for Aliyar Bey to
be the leader the Cavdars.
If Köpek so wishes,
Aliyar can be the leader, Artuk Bey.
-I've a request, Kutluca.
-Yes, sir.
Tomorrow, during the meeting,
I'll be at the foot of Kiziltepe
with my men.
You'll tell me the situation every moment.
As you wish, sir.
On your orders,
I stood for the leadership.
To protect the token of Candar Bey.
For Ural Bey, and the good of our tribe.
However, the vote count is equal.
We can't risk losing the election.
The death of Ural Bey's baby
shall work in our favor.
It did.
However,
we must make sure.
Only Ural Bey can stop Aliyar Bey, sir.
As you said, if you can convince
Ertuğrul Bey,
and Ural Bey returns to the tribe,
then I will stand down
and vote for him.
Acar Bey,
go to your marquee and wait for my orders
with the other beys.
You'll never, ever, move a muscle
without my orders.
Son, you wanted to see us?
I'd like to consult you
on an important matter, Mother.
Emir Sadettin...
wants to save Ural with a ransom.
He negotiated with me.
He tried to kill my son.
Has he no fear of God?
The men he killed, their wives, mothers...
He's ruined them.
You've suffered a lot,
just like the families of my dead Alps.
That's why I wanted to consult with you.
What do you have on your mind?
I'd like to talk to the families
of my dead men
and convince them to settle
for the ransom.
Will you save the head of that Ural scum?
No, Halime.
The fate of these lands rests on the
unity of the Cavdar and Kayi tribes.
That's all I'm fighting for.
And to ensure that,
Aliyar gets to be the leader.
If it so happens
that Ural dies and Köpek gets to
choose the leader,
we won't be able to even dream of peace.
We can't fight both the governor
and the Cavdars at the same time.
We'll all die in this infighting.
That's why we must accept the ransom...
for Aliyar to be the leader.
How will that be?
I'll ask Emir Sadettin to support
Aliyar's leadership
in return for Ural's life.
And if he doesn't accept,
I'll kill Ural.
So, you're saying Ural will walk
just like that?
Ertuğrul Bey,
if that snake Ural lives,
it won't just be you that he takes
revenge on;
he'll attack our son Gunduz, too.
Can't you see?
Don't you know that I wouldn't
let it happen, woman?
Excuse me.
Dündar,
send for the families of my dead men.
I'll host them in my marquee tonight.
I'd like to consult them.
My man Ural...
I know what you think.
But remember this.
Once I bestow my hand on my men,
I save them, no matter what.
If you could just bestow
that hand already,
so that I could avenge my father...
You don't get it.
Ural, you don't.
How can you still want revenge?
I'll save you.
What matters is this.
Remember that.
Sad news, Ural.
What news?
Your wife Çolpan.
What about her?
Thank God, she's all right.
However, your child...
Ural Bey.
Only God may give life,
and only He may take it.
Do not revolt against God and
fall into sin.
I'll save you, Ural.
You'll get out of here.
Your duty is to be patient about
your revenge, Ural.
Damn, Ural.
Çolpan.
My baby.
How dare they bind me...
and hurt you?
Why are you all alone?
I'll come.
Çolpan...
I will come!
Elders and honorable beys...
of my tribe.
I put off the meeting due to this
painful event that we've gone through.
However, it's necessary to elect a leader.
I know...
that each one of you would like to
entrust me with my father's token.
However, Acar Bey tossed
his hat into the ring.
May God be my witness...
that I don't care who leads this tribe.
All I care about is who can ensure
the unity, livelihood, and peace
in my tribe.
Aliyar Bey.
We all know Acar Bey.
That's why we side with you.
He's nothing like you.
He's a greedy man just like Ural Bey.
If he were to be chosen,
we wouldn't have peace.
Then, there is the matter with Ural Bey.
He was absolved of killing the governor.
What if he's absolved of his other crimes
and comes back here alive?
Not to mention that
the vote count is equal.
Your chances are shaky at best
to become the leader, regardless of
whether Ural Bey returns.
God is great.
I want the leader to be a man
with good intentions.
Yes.
The vote count may be equal.
Now, I need your prayers and your support
more than ever.
We're always on your side, Aliyar Bey.
We all know just how fair, wise and
gallant you are.
May God let you be with us always.
Thank you.
If God permits it and I'm elected,
I'll ensure our unity.
We'll unite with the Kayis...
and the neighboring Turkmen tribes.
Don't worry about Ural.
He might be absolved of killing
the governor,
but he won't get away
with his other crimes.
Attention! The prisoner is on the run!
Come, you bastards!
Come at me!
You killed my father, my child!
I'll murder you all!
Men,
make way.
I'll kill you first, Turgut Alp.
You are not leaving this place
without killing me first.
Then...
untie me and let us settle
our unfinished business.
Untie him.
How did this traitor manage to escape?
How?
Is this how you stand guard?
His door was locked, sir.
It shouldn't have been possible.
Apparently, he knocked out
the Alps coming inside.
Take him away.
Chain him down.
You'll not feed him a drop of water!
KAYI VILLAGE
Those that choose to be the oppressed,
rather than the oppressor;
those that choose to be martyrs,
rather than killers;
brave men, and long-suffering women...
of the Kayi,
I know our wounds run deep.
I lost my brothers; you lost your sons,
your husbands.
What they ask of us makes our blood boil.
However, we want peace!
We don't want to spill a fellow
Muslim's blood!
We don't need new enemies!
We can't let those who'd rather have
the Muslims fight each other rejoice!
I lost my son, not my gold coins,
Ertuğrul Bey.
How much gold could bring
my son back to life?
Nobody said the gold could
bring your son back.
Your men were killed on the way to God.
They died for the peace
and good of our tribe.
Our ransom will not be gold, but peace!
We'll strive to maintain that peace.
Why would we forgive those
who'd do us wrong?
You all know that...
our prophet was stoned in Ta'if.
He was wronged.
However, he begged God...
for their forgiveness, with the future
on his mind.
Now, I know that if I were to let
the Kayi tribe
run free, nobody would survive the hell
we could inflict upon the Cavdar tribe.
However, we can't hold
the entire Cavdar tribe responsible
for Ural Bey.
Then, Ertuğrul Bey,
will this keep on happening again?
Ayse Hatun,
when the right time comes,
and the dawn breaks,
surely, we'll ride our horses,
gird on our weapons,
and strike our swords on the enemy.
However, now is the time for peace.
Sir, you know us.
We trust you.
For the good of our tribe,
we are with you.
Ertuğrul's words enraged me, Mother.
Dear, Ertuğrul is just as angry that
Ural hurt his son.
It's enraging him as well,
don't you see that?
But he doesn't want to let
any more blood spill.
Mother,
he slaughtered our men,
tried to shoot my Gunduz,
the future of our tribe,
and even sent his own sister to her death.
Why would he save him?
What if he becomes the leader
of the Cavdars one day?
What do we do then?
Halime.
Since when do wives question
their husbands' decisions?
Let them do what they know best.
Ertuğrul is setting Ural free so that
Aliyar becomes the leader of the Cavdars.
Don't let your worries get in his way.
Even those who lost their sons
and husbands agree with it.
Don't be childish, Halime.
Come to your senses.
KARACAHISAR CASTLE
They're spreading
further by the day.
They're nomads, Commander.
They can pack their tents
and move far away.
And if they can hold onto their new land,
they spread like wildfire and multiply.
I know.
They're everywhere, Governor Vasilius.
They're scattered, but they're everywhere.
We must clean this fort's vicinity.
If we wage war on them, they unite.
They'll be stronger with the help
of Seljuk Sultanate.
However,
if any of them happen to get stronger,
they unite against him.
Their biggest weakness is jealousy.
Exactly.
There's a huge strife between
Ertuğrul and Ural.
Ertuğrul is a wise and good warrior.
As is Ural. However,
his greed slows him down.
Should Ural be released and become
the leader of his tribe,
then we can watch the lot of them
set fire to each other up on the walls.
I hope it turns out as you predicted
and Köpek saves Ural.
Köpek is an expert in rhetoric
and a clever man...
as well as the biggest traitor
if have ever met.
He will definitely save him.
Thank God he's not one of us.
So, what if Köpek
doesn't keep his promise?
What if Ural Bey is elected
instead of Aliyar?
What do we do then?
Köpek has to keep his promise.
If Ural is elected the leader,
we will get Aliyar Bey and Kutluca
out of there.
That's why we must be close to their camp.
What will we do there, sir?
Are we going to interfere?
Aliyar Bey lives on his wisdom
and fights with his patience.
If Aliyar Bey is not elected,
then we will swing our swords
and fight in the name of justice.
Sir,
are we going to kill the Cavdar tribesman?
If it comes to that,
we will, Dündar.
Bey.
I acted on my anger again.
When I should have been supporting you,
I did things that could have
gotten you in a bind.
Even when those who lost their sons
and husbands had accepted...
and supported your decision,
I acted irrationally.
I will not act like this again, Ertuğrul.
I don't have the right.
You are a mother, Halime.
You have a soft heart.
However, you should know...
that I wouldn't let Ural go
if I had the choice.
Whatever I do,
I do it for the future of our baby,
and the safety of my people.
How is our baby?
He's grown quite well.
He eats what I eat, drinks what I drink,
kicks when I'm sad...
and sleeps in peace when I'm happy.
Especially when you are with me.
Daddy!
Gunduz! My son! Stop!
Good boy.
See how he makes
an old woman run around?
My dear, I am but an old woman.
Do you understand?
Where have you been, Father?
I missed you.
You've grown a beard already.
See him speak.
And he makes no bones about it.
My dear, don't speak
like that to your father.
Nobody should get on his nerves.
So true.
Of course he'll speak; he's my son!
He'll speak nothing but the truth, right?
Of course, Daddy.
I wouldn't stray from the truth.
That's my son.
Helena.
Good evening, Helena.
Do you have a moment to spare?
Come in, Vasilius.
It's late, why are you here?
Did something happen?
Yes.
There's news.
But good news.
Let's hear it.
After a long while,
for the first time ever,
I felt that I was human,
and not just a scrap of iron.
You made me realize this.
After the death of your father,
I thought you'd leave.
For a moment,
I felt a pain ever so slight in my heart.
I thought that I couldn't let you go,
that you should stay...
and be the protector
of my heart in my struggles.
That you should give me courage,
and make me happy.
And till the day I die,
that I should see...
your beautiful face.
Vasilius...
-Vasilius, I...
-Stay with me.
Help me protect this keep.
Let's protect your father's heritage.
Vasilius, I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything.
Let's have dinner tomorrow.
We can talk about the future,
our future, then.
Okay?
I wish you a good night.
Breathe, son.
Breathe the air that God created.
This grief pains me so, Master.
It's like the entire realm
has collapsed on me.
You're burdened by all the cruel deeds.
You're being tested, harshly.
I'm carrying the burden of my martyrs
on one side, peace on the other.
I feel like I'm waiting, standing
on cinders with bare feet.
Letting Ural go might
feel like an unwise decision.
However, this is nothing but another test
preparing you for your great future.
You can win only by sacrificing.
Your decisions will be questioned,
you'll be broken, you'll gasp for breath.
However, you'll get stronger
with each test you pass.
Then, you'll be the father of a generation
that'll change the course of history.
Hopefully.
I follow the laws of my faith,
and my faith is sound as ever.
I will not yield so long as
my voice echoes in this world.
However, I know the cruel will not stop.
They won't refrain from using the pain
of those that I love against me.
And that's what's consuming me.
Man is filled with various grievances like
a cargo ship is filled with containers.
If you give in to your grief,
you'll sink in the sea of truth.
First, rid yourself of your worries.
You do that to protect the cruel
and the peace all the same.
You must curb your desires,
and take kindly to the harsh remarks
your loved ones make.
It may not be possible for all to see
the good hidden in the bad.
What matters is the path you walk.
And with God's permit,
your path ends well.
Be at ease.
Thank you.
Up until now,
I haven't let my sword get rusty.
But now I see that I must sheathe
my sword and fight with my mind.
That's right, Ertuğrul.
The prophet Ali says thus: "The greatest
fortune is the mind.
Words uttered by your mind
are sharper than any blade."
Then go ahead and fight with your mind,
use words as your weapon.
You can't win every fight
on the battlefield.
Remember the Treaty of Hudaybiyah that
our prophet signed despite the opposition
from his companions.
He was agonizing over not being
able to see Kaaba again,
but he blessed this agreement
to prevent the spill
of any more Muslim blood.
Because every believer he could lose
meant that he'd stray farther
from his goal.
Executing Ural will not lead you
to victory, son.
However, if you protect the peace
and fight with your mind,
then this will surely
lead you to victory.
Sir, you called?
Bamsi.
Head for the fort, talk to Helena,
see if you can make her talk.
Ask her if she's willing to work with us
in punishing her father's killers.
And visit Haçaturyan and Dumrul
and see if they have anything to say.
-As you wish, sir.
-Come on! Godspeed.
Samsa.
Ride for the Cavdar camp.
Meet with Aliyar Bey.
Tell him that I'm going to release Ural
in order to stop this escalating
blood feud.
However, tell him not to worry.
I'll make a deal with Emir Sadettin.
I'll never let Ural become their leader.
If Emir Sadettin supports Ural
in his leadership,
thus disregarding our deal...
then we shall strike with our swords.
If he doesn't, then I'll congratulate
Aliyar Bey's leadership personally myself.
-As you wish, sir.
-Go now, Godspeed.
Where is Ertuğrul Bey?
-Your Highness.
-Ertuğrul Bey.
I hope you lost sleep thinking
over my words.
Ural Bey attempted to escape last night.
His grief and anger are growing.
What would you do
if they told you that your son died?
You asked me to release him for the peace
and the good of Turkmen tribes.
What if he managed to escape?
What would happen then?
But he failed, right?
If you release him,
he'll be under my command.
If he crosses the line and attempts
to take revenge on you, I'll get him.
What if he runs for the leadership?
I wouldn't meddle with that.
You know as well as I do that
he has a right.
Before this, Emir Sadettin,
I'd like to make sure that you'll obey
Sultan's orders in peace.
Are you doubting me?
What's on your mind?
I don't want Ural to be their new bey.
Not even you can stop
what that may entail.
Are you underestimating
the power of Seljuk Sultanate?
I convinced the families
of my dead men to release Ural.
Their mothers, their wives,
want peace, not gold.
They want peace between the two tribes.
So be it. That's what befits
the Kayi tribe.
However, my only condition is that
Aliyar becomes the bey.
I will say it now.
Talk to the other beys.
Convince them to choose Aliyar.
I know you're powerful enough to do that.
What if they disregard me
and opt to elect Ural?
The power of our country is in your hands.
Are you underestimating the power
of our country, or your own abilities?
If you can't even guarantee this,
why are we even here?
Then, there is not much I can do.
It's almost time for execution.
Excuse me.
Wait! Stop!
Alright, I'll go along with it.
But what if Ural convinces the
other beys to choose him?
-What happens then?
-Then there'll be no peace, Your Highness.
I'll be the one to break the peace.
We'll both suffer the consequences
of your inability to keep your promise.
Then, tell him your decision.
Did you decide, Ertuğrul Bey?
I don't have the right to
decide on my own.
I consulted with my people.
They want peace as well.
For the good of our tribes,
I accept the diet for Ural.
Our God is all forgiving.
He pardons all and loves those who do so.
This decision of yours will surely
bring peace upon this land.
-Hopefully.
-Hopefully.
So, Ural Bey, you attempted to escape
last night.
I was going to avenge my father
and my child, if I could.
And you hold me responsible
for your uncontrollable greed?
The reason you are here,
and why all those brave men died,
is nothing but your greed.
You'll not find peace
even if you should take my head.
Now, take me away and get it over with.
I talked to the families of my dead men.
They want to release you.
They don't want the diet for their
husbands, sons, brothers.
Do you know why?
Because you've gone through
things worse than death.
You lost your loved ones
because of your greed.
Dying would be a way out for you.
Not to mention the catastrophe it'd
cause to both our tribes.
That's why we decided to let you live,
so that you may repent all your life.
To stop this blood feud,
and prevent any more deaths.
They want the diet for their dead
to be at peace.
Now, leave.
However, remember this.
I'll know every step you take,
I'll watch every breath you take.
If you make one wrong move,
you'll find me before you.
Dogan.
At last, you've learned
how to be fair, huh, Ertuğrul Bey?
And you're still threatening me.
However, you're not aware of the
games they're playing behind our backs.
I told you I was innocent, but alas.
Because of your obstinacy,
I lost my father, my son!
How will you
continue living knowing this,
Ertuğrul Bey?
Now, go.
I don't want to see you in this inn again.
Men!
I thought I was walking to my death
on this path, now I walk to my freedom.
You can keep this rotten inn!
Stop talking, or I won't be responsible
for what happens.
You're not with your men this time,
Turgut Alp.
Don't test my patience.
And what if I do?
Then, I'll send you to hell,
to where your Aykiz is.
Turgut!
I ordered you to take him away,
not to kill him.
The arrow you shot into my son
was like a knife in my heart.
And the pain is still throbbing, Ural.
This slap will make sure you don't
forget your deeds.
For a brave man, being slapped
is worse than eating embers.
Either you settle down,
or I'll keep on slapping you.
Take him.
Calm down, Foreman Haçaturyan.
What happened?
Uh!
Keep your voice down!
Don't call me by my name.
You'll call me Alvin.
Dumrul, mind what you say!
What did I say?
Helena! Welcome, m'lady!
May your joy be everlasting,
Merchant Alvin.
Please, forgive us. We're a bit excited.
You see, we got a new shop,
and a lot of coins to earn.
You're too excited
for an experienced merchant.
Umm...
Never lose your enthusiasm, as they say.
That's the first thing you should know
about tradesmanship, taught by my master.
Anyway, what do you think?
Will you give us the shop?
I have many fond memories about this shop.
When I was a child, my father
gave this place to a merchant.
I'd come here every chance I got.
His name was Arsen.
You remind me of him, Alvin.
That's why I'll give you this shop.
You couldn't have made me happier, Helena.
You may come here to take a break
every chance you get, m'lady.
Please don't hit me!
When the cunning jackals attack,
the horses lean on each other.
So whatever...
comes running up from behind,
gets kicked in the face.
Now,
that's how we should be, tight-knit.
So that once those devils attack,
we may have allies that'll protect us.
That's why, either Aliyar
is elected the leader, or...
we'll take our revenge on those
that go back on their word.
-Blessed be our holy war!
-Yes, sir!
Show mercy! Please!
Please, mercy!
There's an order in this fort.
It seems the late
governor spoiled you all.
I'm the governor now.
I won't forgive any merchant
that doesn't pay their tax on time.
Sir, my dear sir!
The business is going bad,
we can't sell our produce.
We're in a pinch, please show mercy!
-Please, stop!
-Don't, please!
I see you still don't realize
the situation we are in.
We are at war!
How can we fight if you don't pay
your taxes?
We're laying down our lives for you
and you can't lay down a few coins!
Those who don't pay their taxes,
should not expect protection from us.
Get the hell out of here!
This will be our warning. Flog him!
Show mercy!
Don't do this!
Show mercy!
-May I enter, sir?
-Come in, Kutluca.
Sir, Samsa Alp wants to talk to you,
with your permission.
Yes, Samsa Alp?
Aliyar Bey, I brought news
from Ertuğrul Bey.
He said he'd release Ural Bey
to protect the peace.
What did you say?
This is what he said.
He wants you to relax.
He won't let Ural be the leader.
That's why he made a deal with
Emir Sadettin.
All the beys under Emir Sadettin's
command will vote for you.
And if they break their promise,
Ertuğrul Bey said we would
retaliate with swords.
Samsa, how could he trust
Emir Sadettin?
God, what's the meaning of this?
Protect us from this looming doom!
Hopefully, sir. Excuse me.
I hope things go as Ertuğrul Bey planned.
Or it will be a bloodbath.
I'll keep Ertuğrul Bey informed
from moment to moment.
I hope I shoot my arrows in good news.
I hope so, too.
I hope so.
Enough! Give it to me! Move!
No!
Enough!
Enough!
Enough!
Vasilius!
What do you think you are doing?
My father entrusted these people to me.
Don't you see that they're going
through hardship?
Let the man go.
Let him go, you'll kill him!
Your father was just as compassionate.
And look what happened!
Nobody is paying their taxes.
They won't listen to reason.
Don't interfere.
When the enemy attacks your keep,
you won't need coins, but these men
that trust you, Governor Vasilius.
Move!
-Are you okay?
-May God protect you, Helena.
-Come.
-Somebody help this poor man.
Are you all right?
You...
Thank you, as well.
-Who are you?
-I'm Merchant Alvin.
I work at the shop over there.
I'll be working with you now.
-Welcome.
-Welcome.
-May you earn a lot!
-May God protect you!
-Welcome.
-May God protect you.
He's a cruel man.
May God help us all.
I'm grateful to you, Alvin.
Let's carry you over to your shop
and clean your wounds, okay?
Come now.
-May God protect you!
-Come on.
May God protect you.
Oh dear!
Helena Hatun!
-Bamsi!
-Listen.
Why are you here?
Listen, Helena, I must tell you something.
I mean, Ertuğrul Bey
wants to tell you something.
He says the head of the snake
is in this keep.
Helena, be careful.
You know, your father trusted us
to protect the peace.
Petrus and that dog Laskaris
appeared out of the blue.
We don't know how Vasilius got them.
Helena, you must help us now
so that we may solve this together.
I'll do whatever I can, Bamsi.
Trust me.
You're the best! Well done!
Helena, tell me.
How are you? Are you all right?
Actually, I'm not, Bamsi.
What? What happened?
Vasilius.
It feels like...
he wants to tell me something.
I mean, he hasn't said it clearly yet
but it's obvious what he wants.
I'm afraid,
he wants to marry me.
Bamsi.
Bamsi!
Come to your senses, big guy!
Why are you here?
I came on Ertuğrul Bey's orders.
Then why are you walking around
like a corpse?
Foreman Haçaturyan!
That bastard Vasilius
wants to marry Helena.
Bamsi! Enough!
Old man.
Isn't it such a shame?
That hyena would hurt her!
Hold on. Nothing's happened yet.
Plus, Helena is a clever girl.
She wouldn't marry that madman.
-She wouldn't, right?
-Of course not!
I'm the master of gold, I know this well.
Helena is gold, while Vasilius is iron.
Iron and gold never mix together.
Helena deserves a man with heart of gold
like you.
Come on!
Come now!
We have good news for Ertuğrul Bey.
May I enter?
Come in, Your Highness.
Any news from my Ural, Your Highness?
Ural Bey's innocence has been proven.
The emir of Seljuks is doing his best
in the name of justice.
Ural Bey is released for a diet.
Is that true, Your Highness?
Where is he now?
He's on his way here.
He should be here any moment now.
Aslıhan.
I told you I'd keep my promise.
Then I shall keep my promise too.
We will marry after the meeting,
Your Highness.
Then let me attend the meeting now.
You know, your brother
will stand for the leadership.
What if my brother Ural isn't elected?
I'll do everything within my power
to ensure that.
Don't you worry.
-Welcome, sir.
-Thank you, Turgut.
-We're all ready, just as you ordered.
-Well done.
-Has Ural returned yet?
-Emir Sadettin arrived first.
We saw Ural galloping
towards the camp as well.
We will either go and
congratulate Aliyar Bey's victory,
or we'll go to take Ural Bey's head.
Welcome home, sir.
Welcome home, sir.
Welcome home, sir.
Welcome home, sir.
Welcome home, sir.
-Çolpan!
-Ural!
Brother!
I'm so lucky to be blessed with a sister
like you, Aslıhan.
You didn't leave me or my wife alone.
I won't forget this.
Thank God you are back.
I came back without
a stain on my character, Çolpan.
Qadi released me, I'm free now.
Our baby...
No more grieving.
No more sadness.
Now is the time for revenge.
I'll take what's rightfully mine, Çolpan.
I'll take it all.
We will elect the bey of our tribe now.
May God be with us.
Amen.
Am I interrupting?
Not at all, Your Highness.
You're most welcome, Your Highness.
I've come to ensure the election
is carried out in fairness, in the name of
Seljuk Sultanate.
I do hope this election
ends in good faith, and in fairness.
-Thank you, Your Highness.
-Thank you.
Go ahead.
You may sit.
There is no unanimous agreement
among the beys.
So they have to vote.
Honorable beys of Cavdar Tribe!
Just as I've been
absolved of all the blame,
I've now been absolved of the blame
put on me by Batuhan.
Qadi has released me.
Now, there's nothing holding me back
from standing for the leadership.
I hereby announce my candidacy
to continue my father's legacy.
I've talked to Qadi about it.
Ural is telling the truth.
He may stand for the leadership.
Then we now have three
candidates for the leadership
May God bless us with a good result.
Amen.
Amen.
Ural Bey has come to the tents,
and he is a candidate to be a bey.
It is up to Köpek now.
Be prepared.
I wouldn't put anything past
either of them.
The last arrow to come
will determine the future for us,
peace, and these lands.
Brave beys of the Cavdar Tribe.
First of all, for Ural Bey
coming back to us
having been found not guilty,
I'd like to congratulate him.
There is no longer a black mark
on our tribe.
I'd like to see your votes
for the last time.
If you'll excuse me,
I have some things to say.
I was a candidate to be a bey.
But I wouldn't want to stand
between the two sons of our deceased bey.
As a result,
I am no longer a candidate.
I wanted you to know this.
Do you have anything to say,
Ural Bey?
The decision you'll come to
will determine the future
of our tribes and these lands.
May God help us reach the best decision.
Amen.
Do you have anything to say,
Aliyar Bey?
The destiny of our tribe is clear.
You will not only elect a bey,
but also the margrave
that Emir Sadettin sees fit for us.
What's best is
for you to elect the bey
that will dedicate his life to his tribe.
The margrave that will bring
the Turkmen tribes together.
Those who see Ural Bey as worthy,
raise your hands.
Those who think Aliyar Bey is worthy of
ruling our tribe, raise your hands.
Aliyar Bey received all the votes,
and has become the bey of our tribe.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Aliyar Bey...
The new bey of the Cavdar Tribe
is elected.
Ural?
Aliyar Bey is the bey now.
From now on, the bey of the Cavdar Tribe
is Aliyar Bey.
Turgut, we're going to the Cavdar Tribe.
For the peace, for our unity,
for our well-being and brotherhood.
All right, Bey.
Doğan, you take the rest of the alps
and go back to the tribe.
There is no need for a war now.
Take the good news to the tribe.
As you wish, Bey.
-Any news from the castle, Bamsi?
-Yes, there is, Bey.
As you ordered, Master Haçaturyan
has rented the shop.
What is the matter, big guy?
Is something wrong?
You look like you lost your weapons.
My weapons, brother,
are with me, thank God.
But Helena Hatun...
Her, brother.
I lost her.
How?
That dog, the Lord, is going to marry her.
Brave men of the Cavdar Tribe,
you've honored me
by electing me as your bey.
I'm grateful to all of you.
-My deceased father--
-Aliyar!
How dare you utter the name of my father?
Beys of the Cavdar tribe,
what do you think you're doing?
I deserve to be the bey.
Don't you know what my father said?
My father told you this time after time.
I cleared my name
and came back to my tribe.
How could you elect someone as bey
who caused my father and my child to die?
Brother!
Ural Bey!
It's not befitting for a bey
to go against traditions.
It's Aliyar Bey now
who deserves to be the bey.
And you should be loyal to your bey,
and do what's best for your state
and your tribe.
You've finally reached your goal,
Ertuğrul Bey.
I hope you don't ruin our tribe,
like you ruined your own tribe.
You've won for today.
Now go and celebrate your victory
with Aliyar in our tents.
Aslıhan Hatun.
I didn't become the bey of the Cavdars,
Aliyar Bey did.
Your brother, Aliyar Bey.
Aliyar Bey who you like very much.
You've finally managed to
make him like you, Ertuğrul Bey.
May God bring us good.
Whatever good may come with you.
Köpek, Sadettin Köpek!
He must be behind this.
Ural won't stay still now.
He'll do everything he can
to become bey.
He will bide his time,
and kill Aliyar Bey.
What will we do now, Batuhan?
Bugay. Wolves enjoy misty days.
We'll wait for mist to come to the tribe.
When Ural kills his brother,
we'll do what's necessary.
Now go back to the tribe,
and wait for my signal with the Alps.
By God's name.
By the name of God.
For our state and the Turkmen,
may your rule bring good, Aliyar Bey.
Your murderers have won, Father.
Those who caused your grandchild's death
are now celebrating their victory
with your tribe.
Forgive me, Father.
I couldn't stop it.
Forgive me.
Aslıhan Hatun...
You are so naive,
so beautiful.
Never mind being angry at you,
I can't even feel sorry for you.
Murderer!
Murderer!
Aslıhan!
Aslıhan! Aslıhan!
Welcome to our tribe, Ertuğrul Bey.
-Thank you.
-Please.
May justice be your weapon,
mercy be your shield, and God help you.
May your victory be blessed,
and your rule glorious.
Please, Ertuğrul Bey.
Praise be to God.
Honored beys of my tribe.
From now on, the Cavdars
and the Kayis are one.
Our strength, law, pain and joy are one.
Their friends are our friends,
their enemies are our enemies.
For the perpetuity of our state,
the welfare of our tribe
and the continuity of the peace,
I will work as hard as I can.
And Ertuğrul Bey is my greatest supporter
on this path.
The beys, the elderly, and the brave men
of the Cavdar tribe.
I don't have the slightest doubt
about Aliyar Bey's justice and competence.
May your decision bring good.
May your blessing and peace last long.
I'd like you to know
that the gates of the inn and the market
are wide open for the Cavdars.
Anyone can trade there
as they wish.
God bless you.
May your blessing last long.
Long live Ertuğrul Bey.
God bless you.
Our brotherhood will be an example
for all Turkmen.
The unity that our Sultan wishes for
will come to happen
through our efforts and of course,
with the support of Emir Sadettin.
Now, let both the feast and the hunt
belong to Aliyar Bey.
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Long live Aliyar Bey!
