NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

Welcome.

We have heard a lot about Ertuğrul Bey through our friends.

We are here to trade in peace.

They call me Ebu Mansur Muhammed in Aleppo.

Welcome.

You are more than welcome here.

I am Ertuğrul Bey's brother. My name is Dündar.

Be our guest with your men.

You have come from a long way, get some rest.

Thank you.

I know that you are at war with the Tekfur of Karacahisar.

However you continue to trade with the Rums.

These supplies will be sent to the Rum people who need help.

To the Rum people?

I have seen many states in my life. But you are the only state

that helps the people of the enemy.

Ertuğrul Bey always gives support to the indigent people.

It seems Ertuğrul Bey is not only a great warrior,

but also a very generous man.

This is my mother, Hayme. And my brother's wife, Halime Sultan.

Ebu Mansur.

He is a merchant from Aleppo, Mother.

Welcome.

Welcome.

So, you are the ones who made those beautiful rugs

which Europeans have been rhapsodizing over.

We are using our ancestors’ methods, that's what makes our rugs so special.

We weave our rugs with passion.

I am here to talk about this.

I want to place an order for many rugs.

In fact

I will pay half of it right now.

I do not know how many more generous merchants there are.

Our rugs will please you. You will not regret this.

But shouldn't we discuss it with Ertuğrul Bey, Mother?

Sister, I will explain it to my brother. Don't worry about it.

Fine. Okay.

I am in no hurry.

I am a very patient and wealthy man.

You look familiar to me.

I have traveled to many cities, and many places.

We must have met somewhere.

Take care of our guests, Son.

Let them rest well.

Günkut, prepare food for our guests.

Take care of their horses too. Let them rest.

Come with me, Bey. I will show you the way.

Mother, Dündar Bey, I feel like I know him from somewhere

but I couldn't place where.

I have doubts about him.

Neither he nor his men look like merchants.

They look like royal people.

Kayi Tribe is here.

And Cavdar Tribe is here.

Hanlı Bazaar is in the middle of them. Right here.

As you said,

if we took the Hanlı Baazar,

we would cut them off.

Ertuğrul would lose his reputation.

Ertuğrul took Hanlı Bazaar by trickery, anyway.

Ertuğrul

has become more powerful thanks to that bazaar.

Now it will be his grave.

The Emperor's guards are here, sir. Their commander wants to see you.

Let him come right away.

What are the Emperor's guards doing here, Nikolas?

The Emperor uses them only for important matters.

It means there is a serious matter.

Tekfur Vasilius, we need your soldiers' help.

What is the matter, tell me.

At the Emperor's palace, we have discovered a spy

who is serving Sultan Alaeddin.

I have tracked him down here.

What happened then?

We attacked him when he met another man this morning.

We had wounded the spy.

However, he managed to escape with the other guy.

Do you know who this spy will contact?

No, we do not know.

We will never know if we cannot catch them.

It may take days to find them.

We have found the spy's bag.

His stuff is here.

Spy's bag

I know how we can find him.

Nikolas, prepare your best men, we are setting off.

Yes, sir.

Selamunaleykum.

Aleykumselamun.

Your alps are in very good shape.

They look as strong as a tiger.

They are.

We train all the time.

You know war is around the corner.

We need to be prepared.

Are the other Turk tribes also as ready for war as the Kayi Tribe?

They are.

At our tribal meetings, Ertuğrul Bey recommends to the Turkmen Beys

that they should get their Alps ready.

He deals with them personally.

Does Ertuğrul Bey only care about his Alps?

I've heard that he is also interested in politics.

You will have to ask him when he comes back.

Let's talk about rugs.

You sound like an experienced merchant, Dündar Bey.

Actually, I am not a merchant.

My brother has arrived.

Alps, Ertuğrul Bey is here!

-Welcome, Bey. -Welcome, Bey.

-Welcome, Bey. -Bey, welcome.

May you never lose a fight!

May you always be strong!

Train well, Alps.

Long live our Bey!

That heathen Vasilius

is a blood-thirsty man,

and now he summons new soldiers from Nicaea.

For this reason,

we will continue to be cautious all the time.

Our unity with the Turk Beys is strong!

Prioritize your trainings.

While our Sultan is dealing with Mongols in the east,

we will continue to make life here unbearable for Vasilius.

We will show our sultan what we are made of!

Come on, Alps,

continue your training with all your power.

Yes, Bey!

Go on, Alps.

Sir, what I don't understand is why these spies came here, but not Konya?

There is another one who is sending messages between Konya and Nicaea.

He is here, in my lands.

Who?

-We will find out. -How?

We are not the only ones who are looking for the spy.

The man who is sending messages to the sultan

must also have gone after the spy.

If we find the spy before they do

Then we will also find the traitor in my lands.

Welcome, brother.

Thank you, Dündar.

What is the situation?

Everything is all right, thank God.

Good.

Good.

You have been working hard.

You make me proud with your hard work.

Now you deserve to be a Bey and an Alp.

Bey

May God bless you, Bey.

You have honored me greatly.

I also have good news for you, brother.

Tell me.

A merchant came from Aleppo. His name is Ebu Mansur.

He has heard of our rugs' fame.

And wants to buy some.

And he paid a lot of gold coins.

Now that's good news.

Where is he now?

He is there, brother.

He was there.

How could he disappear suddenly?

His disappearance means he didn't want me to see him.

Halime said she knows him from somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.

We will find out.

Come, brother.

Keep up your good work.

Sir, the dogs smelled something. This way.

You haven't said a single word since you came back from Emir Sadettin.

You used to ride horses, train with your sword and go hunting.

Now you are imprisoned in your tent, like an eagle in a cage.

I wanted to be a drop in the river.

But fate locked me in a water bottle.

I wanted to fly like a bird in the savannah.

But fate wants me to imprison in a palace.

Look, Sister,

you are the only woman in my family.

I promised my father I would look after you.

When I look at you

I see my deceased mother.

And for this reason, I made you my deputy, Aslıhan.

You don't say it by your tongue, but I can see it in your eyes.

So, I am asking one more time, Sister.

Do you want to marry him?

I do not want any hostility between our state and our tribe, brother.

I am ready to sacrifice myself for our tribe.

No one can force you into this marriage.

It is too late now, brother.

Do you think Emir Sadettin would just give up on this marriage?

I will accept my destiny.

You rest assured, Sister.

As long as I live, no one can force you into this.

I would not use you for politics.

Do not worry about it.

Thank God, I have you, brother.

Amen, Sister.

We will visit Ertuğrul Bey tonight.

Get ready, Aslıhan.

Yes, brother.

Sir, it started to rain, the traces will be lost.

Hurry, then! Hurry!

Sir, they are hiding in the cave.

We've been dealing with a lot of trouble.

But thank God, anyway.

We aren't going to leave our country.

These lands are enough for all of us.

-Yes, they are. -Right. It is enough.

Does Ertuğrul Bey have any involvement with all of this?

I swear to God, we didn't see anything wrong from him.

He helped us all, when we were having a hard time.

He just remitted the taxes today.

And he promised he will give interest-free loans to the merchants.

You want to work with us.

But we can't promise you anything,

since we don't know what's going to happen.

We do not want to let you down.

Were you going to say something, Aleko?

I was going to ask if you have an order.

Bring meat to my guests.

Bring sherbet to them.

And do not disappoint me.

Yes, Bey.

You go and prepare a good meal, do not disappoint us.

I will be right with you.

They play politics at the table.

I do not like this man, Dumrul Alp.

He has booked the entire in.

I even couldn't find rooms for all them.

It does not matter, Aleko.

They would never leave Ebu Mansur alone.

They don't look like they will sleep tonight.

Dumrul Alp,

I fear that Vasilius is behind this.

Do not worry, Aleko.

Our Alp will stay all night long.

And I will go to our tribe, and inform Ertuğrul Bey about this man.

Bey should know what this man is doing.

Sorry to bother you.

Did we wake you up?

Tell me

Who is your spy in Sultan Alaeddin's lands?

Tell me, who are you waiting for?

Speak!

I am waiting for Azrael.

You bastard!

Commander Vasilius, there were two men, one of them is missing.

Just as I guessed.

The missing spy will get us the sultan's man.

Get your soldiers ready.

We will ambush them when they come.

In the name of God.

Thank God, we can share the same food now. May God bless our food.

-Amen. -Amen.

Amen.

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Our food will be more blessed, God willing.

A merchant came today.

He has heard about the fame of the rugs which we made for Europeans.

Thank God.

We are lucky now.

We are starting to solve our problems.

You deserve this, my dear.

God always gives you what you deserve.

We will unite again.

We will weave rugs and earn gold coins.

-God willing. -God willing.

The rugs' fame traveled fast, Ertuğrul Bey.

Wonderful, Sister.

Something is not right about this.

I have been thinking about it.

The merchant gave us a lot of gold coins, Bey.

As a down payment.

Then he vanished into thin air.

He did.

He gave lots of gold coins, and then vanished into thin air?

It is a good job, Ertuğrul Bey.

However, I wonder who this man is, where is he coming from?

He said his name was Ebu Mansur.

He comes from Aleppo.

That is what he said to Dündar.

I think I know him from somewhere, but I couldn't place where.

I hope his intentions are good,

because this job is very important for both of our tribes.

May I come in, Bey?

Come in, Dumrul.

Bey, I have come from the inn.

A merchant named Ebu Mansur has come to the inn.

So, he vanished into thin air, and then showed up at the inn?

He talked with the merchants.

He talked about trade, and politics.

He kept asking questions.

Asked about their business,

about the situation in the land, and about Byzantine.

He is a silver-tongued man, Bey.

People pay close attention to what he says.

He earned everybody's respect in no time at all.

Thank you, Dumrul.

Thank you.

You keep an eye on him.

Keep watching him.

Yes, Bey.

He is just a merchant who wants to buy rugs, Ertuğrul Bey.

Why is he asking so many questions?

We will find out, Aliyar Bey.

We will find out.

Easy, Bamsi, you will choke.

Are you in a hurry, are you going somewhere?

Hafsa Hatun

Where did you learn to cook like this?

Thanks to Mother Hayme, she teaches me everything.

Of course, of course she does.

This is Mother Hayme's dish.

Hafsa Hatun, I mean, you made it delicious, of course.

I wish my brothers could see me like this.

I wish they knew how happy Bamsi Alp is now.

All the single men would envy me.

I wish

Now I understand, Bamsi.

You want to go to your brothers.

No, no way.

No way, my love.

I mean, of course, my brothers want to see me,

but I told them

I told them Bamsi Alp would never leave his woman in the tent and go.

Go now.

And tell them Hafsa Hatun knows your heart.

If her lover would be happy with his brothers,

then she will be patient and wait for him to come back.

Okay, then. Good.

Wonderful. My wonderful woman.

Thank God for giving you to me.

Wonderful woman.

I am going then.

My dear,

you look too thoughtful.

Why are you worried?

I am fine. I was thinking about the rugs.

And my marriage.

I felt sad, because I won't be with you.

Do not worry, my dear.

Your marriage is more important.

We can finish the rugs without you.

So did you set a day for the wedding?

Our sultan has vanished into thin air.

We had to postpone the wedding.

We will marry when Emir Sadettin is here.

Let's hope for the best.

Maybe it is better to postpone it.

-Brother -They are like family to us, Aslıhan.

We have nothing to hide from them.

What is happening, Aliyar Bey?

What is the matter?

I told my sister as well, Ertuğrul Bey

If she doesn't want

Halime, are you okay?

Halime, are you okay?

Lie down here.

Easy.

Mother, my baby is coming.

Go and tell Artuk Bey, my dear, quick.

-Okay. -My dear.

Bamsi said he'd come, before we finish eating.

But he has not come yet.

He is just married, Turgut Alp.

And it is not easy to leave your love.

He will come, brother.

I am here, brothers.

My brother is here!

-Welcome. -Thank you.

You look good.

-You look good, brothers. -Sit down.

Okay.

I told you, Bamsi would never leave his brothers alone.

Welcome, brother.

Thank you, brother.

Would I ever leave you alone?

Thank you, brother.

Did you say the same thing to Hafsa Hatun?

You said you wouldn't leave your brothers?

No.

I told Hafsa Hatun, "There is an impertinent man among Alps,

his name is Günkut, and he has a big mouth,

I will take care of him first, and then come back." Come here!

Come here, Günkut.

Come here! Come!

I don't even feel like getting mad at you.

Do not worry, come.

Come and eat, Günkut, come.

Do not worry, come.

Go on, sit, brother.

Mischief!

This is love, brother.

It makes flowers burst in your heart.

You lose all your worries and anger.

You are right, brother, you are right.

However, brothers I have learned that there are two kinds of women;

one makes flowers burst in your heart,

and the other one withers your flowers.

You said it well, brother,

but how can we find a woman like that?

How can we understand which woman gives love

and which gives pain?

My brother, my dear brother

You will beg God, like this, brother, and you will pray.

With good intentions, of course.

And then you will find your woman dropped out of the sky.

Like an apple falls from the tree.

Let's eat.

Enjoy your meal.

You talk about apples, and flowers, Bamsi, but

You have come here hungry.

Didn't your wife feed you?

Now, you deserve a good beating, brother.

You deserve a good beating.

Come here, come!

Help me God!

You deserve a good beating. Come here!

In the name of God.

Halime Sultan is not well, Bey.

The birth has started.

But something is not right.

Go and bring the midwifes.

I will bring them.

Hafsa Hatun, prepare some hot water.

We will need it when the midwife comes.

Yes, Artuk Bey.

My dear.
