THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

I swear to God, his holy book, his flag

and to my steel sword.

May the blue skies and the brown earth be my witness.

I swear on everything

that I will not stop until I make those who set traps

and betrayed us pay for what they did.

In this pursuit of justice and order,

I will be the nightmare of the oppressors and the thugs.

I'll keep being the fear of the oppressors and hope of the oppressed.

Goktug

Where is this Ares?

He was so willing to sell the bazaar,

it's not a good sign that he is late, blessed vizier.

Vizier Sadettin

We've been waiting for you, Governor.

I wouldn't want to keep you waiting but something came up.

I need to be leaving soon, so let's get this over with.

Why the hurry, Ares?

You look very worried.

As if you saw a ghost.

The contracts are ready, blessed vizier.

Good.

The governor is in a hurry,

so let's complete the agreement with us bearing witness.

My Ertuğrul, my brave heart.

We thought he was under the ground,

but he was just out there somewhere, struggling.

We crushed his hopes and dreams

while he was away fighting evil.

Mother,

do not grieve any longer.

My bey is back.

Your son came back safe and unharmed.

Who cares if the world burns now?

Do not wear yourself out like this.

You supported the decision to reunite your sons.

My girl,

what if they sell the bazaar?

How can we look Ertuğrul in the eye?

What about Dündar? What will he do?

Mother

My beautiful mother.

Let the winds carry your worries away.

Stop upsetting yourself now.

My bey, your son, is back. That's all that matters.

And you'll see Ertuğrul Bey will make it there in time.

My girl, I'm thinking about Dündar,

not myself.

My only concern is for him.

I'm afraid Ertuğrul won't forgive him this time.

Mother, don't you know how close Ertuğrul Bey is to his brother?

He does whatever is best for his brother.

Every winter carries its spring, Mother.

It's time to dispel the black clouds above us.

My beautiful daughter-in-law.

You bravely stood your ground.

You saw what was right and wrong.

You showed what it really is to be a wife of a bey.

My beautiful daughter-in-law.

We've learned how it is to be a wife of a bey from you, Mother.

May God bless you.

Oh, my beautiful girl.

Oh, my beautiful daughter-in-law.

Dündar Bey,

with this contract, Bahadır Bey will stay loyal

to the promises given to the traders by Ertuğrul Bey.

And governor Ares will assign a skillful trader

to help him out.

They'll improve the bazaar together.

And everyone will win.

I'll stay loyal to the promise I gave to Ertuğrul Bey.

With the trader I'll assign,

I'll convince Greek traders to trade in these lands again.

Finally.

Let's get this over with.

We'll establish Islam here.

Allah is everlasting!

We will make it a glorious inn, having announced the call to prayer.

Let the people know

they are not to be afraid.

The oppression has come to an end.

Ertuğrul Bey

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey.

Our bey is alive.

My Ertuğrul Bey! Ertuğrul Bey is alive.

May it be for the best.

Let this purchase be prosperous for trade.

There you go, Bahadır Bey. Congratulations.

Congratulations to all of us, blessed vizier.

Brother!

Ertuğrul

Ertuğrul.

A thousand thanks to God, Ertuğrul,

that you are here with us.

How did this happen?

It seems I still have time to live and to shorten the lives of my enemies,

Vizier Sadettin.

We all thought you were dead.

We buried you.

The body you buried was not mine,

it was one of the ambushers'.

Very well, very well.

Where have you been all this time, Ertuğrul Bey?

I was captured by a slave trader.

But thank God, I survived.

I'm here now.

Good.

Good.

Welcome back.

We have just completed a good deal.

I know my brother Dündar is here to sell the bazaar.

But

I also know that no one is to benefit from the bad fortune of Kayi tribe.

And that's why

this agreement has no value to me.

What are you saying, Ertuğrul Bey?

Dündar Bey signed the contract with the stamp of Kayi.

He accepted the gold in the presence of witnesses.

As long as I hold this agreement with the Kayi stamp on it,

your words have no value, either.

Ertuğrul!

How could you disrespect my father!

Ertuğrul!

Why the hurry, Bahadır Bey?

It seems you are sick

of waiting to tear apart my dead body, along with your son.

Bahadır Bey.

Keep your sword in its sheath.

I am the margrave of these lands.

The bazaar is my property.

I'm not selling it.

Either you make my hands dirty with your blood

or you obey me.

The leader of Cavdars does not obey anyone,

Ertuğrul Bey!

Then we will spare a place for you

alongside your cousin Ural, who refused to obey in the past.

How could you let him tear up the contract, blessed vizier?

How could you rebel against a margrave?

Ertuğrul Bey is the margrave of these lands.

Sancar Bey.

Take your Alps and leave here at once.

We'll deal with this matter

calmly and collectively, with Ertuğrul Bey.

Hopefully.

Turgut.

Alps!

Look here, Turgut.

Don't think you'll be relieved now that your bey is back.

You'll be held responsible for all your doings.

From now on, think twice before doing anything.

Look at this halfwit!

Just look at him!

This ignorant halfwit!

He's all talk!

Don't think you coyotes have any chance to roam freely.

We will not let that happen,

just as we didn't while Ertuğrul Bey wasn't around.

You, your bey and your tribe still have a price to pay, Turgut.

The amount is getting bigger and bigger.

You will pay the price in blood when the time comes.

Your teeth are not strong enough to chew us.

Don't draw your swords in the wrong places.

You may end up cutting your own throats.

Then we'll see the pool of blood.

We'll see, Turgut.

We will.

Ertuğrul Bey, bandits took advantage of your absence

and attacked the traders.

The bazaar's operations were disrupted.

Both my people and the Turks were harmed as the consequence.

Bahadır Bey was going to buy the bazaar.

Governor Ares was going to assign a skillful trader

who would improve ties with the Frankish.

As for Dündar Bey,

he stayed loyal to your wishes to the end.

He protected the traders as per your wish.

There is no reason to be angry or resent.

In these turbulent times,

I did my best to protect both my own people's

and the Turks' interests.

Your death

caused a weakness among Kayi tribe, that's the issue.

This weakness caused harm

both to trade and to the livelihoods of the people.

They did the tough thing by buying a dying bazaar.

So if the operations

of the bazaar were disrupted while I was away,

as the margrave it's my duty to re-establish order

in these lands.

Governor Ares,

we will meet and talk about whatever is necessary

to revive the trade in the bazaar.

I'm sure you want the best for your people, too.

I'll come to your castle and talk to you.

Now, you can leave.

As for you, Bahadır Bey

Tomorrow,

I'll gather the council in the bazaar.

I'll question your son,

for he drew his sword

to the margrave.

As for your tribe

I'll make the decision about your tribe during the meeting.

I'm the only one

who can make decisions about my tribe.

Then,

your will to decide

will be at the mercy of my sword, Bahadır Bey.

You can leave now.

Bahadır Bey.

Don't forget your precious gold.

Alps!

Take the box.

Bring my horse!

You've cut each other’s throats now, damn Turks.

Let us be ridden of you all.

You cut each other today, tomorrow I'll cut you all anyway.

We're leaving!

Shame on you!

How did the order of the bazaar go sideways, Vizier Sadettin?

Why didn't you take precautions?

How could you let the bandits be

while they didn't let the people be?

Do you hold me responsible for what happened, Ertuğrul?

You couldn't find those

who ambushed me and killed my Alps.

You failed to prevent the Turkish tribes from going into turmoil while I was away.

I had my soldiers chase the bandits for days.

I questioned those we captured.

I did my best to find

who did this to you and your Alps.

Dündar is the primary witness of my efforts.

Our Sultan assigned you to take care

of these lands while I was away.

And what did you do?

You convinced my brother to sell the bazaar

for which we lost so many soldiers.

Instead of preventing him from emigrating, you encouraged him.

Don't tell me you were doing your job.

I'm happy you are alive, Ertuğrul.

Don't dampen my happiness

with your rage.

You'll be my guest at the council tomorrow for the last time.

I'm back.

Your job here is done.

Don't you dare

enter my territory again.

Now,

I represent the state in these lands.

Even the shadow of my bey is enough to scare them off.

Let's see how that devil, so called Bahadır,

talks from now on.

So, let's start your wedding preparations with Lady Aslıhan then.

Let's have a legendary wedding for you, so that our enemies envy you

and lose their minds over it.

Just an order of Ertuğrul Bey would be enough, brother.

No one has the power to prevent it

once he gives the go ahead.

Brother

I made a mistake.

Forgive me.

I caused all this turmoil.

You surrendered willingly

and knowingly because of your stupidity, Dündar!

How can you ask for forgiveness?

-Brother-- -Don't!

Don't call me brother!

I'll make you

and those who supported you pay for this!

-Turgut. -Yes, my bey.

Go to Cavdar tribe at once.

Let Lady Aslıhan know

that once Bahadır Bey's tribe reaches our lands,

there will be a council meeting for the leadership.

Tomorrow, we'll be having a council meeting in the bazaar.

Lady Aslıhan is also invited.

The sentence for Sancar Bey,

who drew his sword to the margrave, will be decided tomorrow.

Carry my exact words.

Yes, my bey.

Good.

Make way.

Oh, this bastard.

So you are here.

Let's see where you're going.

Commander Ares, I've got news for you.

You couldn't catch a single man,

yet still you are here speaking nonsense!

-It's important, sir. -Get inside!

Those bastards.

You'll pay for your dirty tricks.

For sure you'll come out of that hole.

You still have things to explain to Ertuğrul Bey.

My Ertuğrul Bey is coming!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Praise be to God, who brings the morning after the dark night,

and who ends the winter with the spring.

I've heard about the bandit problem.

These are the tricks of the devil.

Don't despair.

Don't be fooled by their ticks.

As long as you appreciate your lands, properties, and our bazaar

and work hard, these tricks will become useless.

And our income will be even more prosperous.

Hopefully.

This I promise as your margrave.

The bandit problem will be solved in no time.

Hopefully.

Our Sultan,

and I, as the margrave,

are always there for you.

You'll be working and trading in an environment of peace.

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

How did Ertuğrul manage

to get away from you and the slave traders all by himself, Yorgo?

He didn't, sir. He was rescued.

Rescued?

By whom?

-I don't know who, but-- -But what!

They were no ordinary men, sir.

They came prepared.

-They were master warriors. -What do you mean?

Ertuğrul is protected by certain people who are unknown to us, sir.

Ertuğrul doesn't know I'm the mastermind behind all this!

I'll use this to my advantage!

I'm just getting started!

And I'll not deliver the bazaar to him!

A trader is coming from Nicaea. His name is Niko.

He'll be here in a couple of days.

We need him to incapacitate the bazaar.

He needs to get here safe and sound. Understood?

Take your men and accompany him.

And don't be seen by anyone.

-Yes, sir. -Get out!

Someone is coming!

Ertuğrul Bey! Welcome, my bey!

Long live my bey! Welcome!

Long live my bey!

Thank God.

Thank God.

Long live my bey! Long live my Ertuğrul Bey!

God bless you my bey!

Brave hearts of Kayi tribe!

People of Kayi!

I know there is a bleeding wound

in each of your hearts.

But don't you worry.

The bazaar still belongs to the Kayi!

God bless you! Long live my bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

What kind of Kayi beys are you

that you decided to give in

when the hard times came, instead of resisting?

Forgive us, my bey.

We thought you were dead.

Even if I die,

the cause still lives!

This cause

is the cause of God!

It began long ago

and it will exist forever!

When our prophet

went to the afterlife,

what did Ebubekir say to his friends

who went into despair?

"Muhammad

was just a messenger of God.

There have been many other prophets who have come and gone.

Now, if he is to die or to be killed

will you step back from his cause?

Whoever steps back

cannot harm God.

Yet God will reward those who feel gratitude."

They didn't step back from the cause they believed in.

They waved the flags of justice in every corner of the world.

And you?

What did you do?

Let this be known:

the Kayi is not defined by Ertuğrul Bey!

Those who embrace the cause of God

stand their ground

even if flames rain on them.

Yet you all failed to stand your ground.

This is my order!

Dündar Bey and other beys who supported him

are no longer beys.

Your wish is our command, my bey. We're just grateful you are alive.

As you order, my bey.

Let this be an example for everyone!

Those who don't stay loyal to the cause

and don't stand their ground

are not welcome in this tribe!

Those who want to leave can leave now!

Your way is our way, Ertuğrul Bey! Your path is our path!

I'll wait for you in my tent, Dündar. Come and see me.
