CAVDAR CAMP

Thank God you're back.

Where is Aliyar?

That bastard Batuhan ambushed us.

Bugay joined him as well.

Aliyar was wounded in the battle.

He's dying in the Kayi Tribe.

Ertuğrul found out about the trap when he was here.

They followed you.

Is Aliyar going to live?

He's in a bad way.

However, even he if lives, he won't be able to be the bey.

What will you do?

I'll tell you, Çolpan.

I will tell you.

However, I'm famished.

Prepare a feast for me.

So that we can celebrate my becoming bey.

Leave it to me, bey.

I can't just sit around doing nothing.

If Aslihan is not found,

and if Emir Sadettin

can't save his wife-to-be from the hands of some filthy bandits

Are you worrying about your dignity, Your Highness?

No.

It's not a matter of dignity, it's a matter of heart.

You should know better, Ertuğrul Bey.

Everything you've sacrificed for Halime Hatun,

everything you've been through

Was it all for your dignity?

I'm worried about the woman I love.

Candar Bey trusted me with his daughter, Aslihan.

She'll bring great joy to my life.

She'll be my first wife.

You surprise me, Your Highness.

And why is that?

Did you think I had a heart of stone?

I, too, dream about happy days.

I'm in love.

I'd like for this love, that has come to me after so many years

to flourish.

This was a nice chat.

Anyway.

Aliyar Bey on one side, Aslihan Hatun on the other.

May God help us.

Aliyar Bey will recover.

My men will save Aslihan Hatun.

Worry not.

They'll not let me down.

I hope so, Ertuğrul Bey.

I hope so.

However,

there's another problem, Your Highness.

Father, it's time for revenge.

I'll protect your legacy.

Send for Acar Bey as soon as possible.

I want him here.

As you wish, sir.

Now, your legacy is in safe hands, Father.

Justice is served.

Now, it's high time

I made them pay

for what they did to you, my child, and our tribe.

I'm worried about Ural's return to his tribe, Your Highness.

With Aliyar Bey wounded so,

it's not a good idea for Ural to be their leader,

however temporary the role.

Ural has the right to act for Aliyar Bey.

Yes, he does.

I hope he uses that right to find Aslihan, and not cause any commotion.

You saw how those men betrayed us without a blink.

We must gather our men

and ensure they are constantly prepared to find Aslihan.

Ural will find her, don't worry.

Yes, however, he'll also attempt to take the leadership of his tribe.

You must know

I have neither patience nor respect for Ural.

I will not let him, Ertuğrul Bey.

Ural couldn't prove his maturity.

He couldn't even control his own man, let alone the whole tribe.

The best he can do is make an effort to find Aslihan.

How I'd like to believe that

All I have on my mind is Aslihan, Ertuğrul Bey, and nothing else.

I wonder what she's doing, while we are just loitering around?

She might die in vain.

Everyone that knew her whereabouts has died.

And if we can't find her, she will die of hunger or thirst.

I sent Doğan after her, Your Highness.

Don't worry, they'll find her.

No.

No, I can't stay here.

I trust your men.

But I can't sit around and wait.

Your Highness,

this messenger says he came from Karacahisar Keep.

What do you want?

Vasilius

What does he know about Aslihan, that he dares call me to his fort?

I'm just a messenger, Your Highness.

I don't know anything.

Cavir.

We're going to Karacahisar Keep.

Ural Bey.

The eldest of Candar Bey.

Ural Bey, who'd lay down his life for his tribe,

didn't get a single vote.

How's that possible, Acar Bey?

Speak!

What makes you silent

and go back on your word?

Ural Bey.

I was afraid of Emir Sadettin.

Forgive me.

You'll make it up to me, Acar Bey.

What should I do, sir?

Just say the word.

Aliyar is about to die.

When he dies,

who'll be the new leader?

Ural Bey.

Then, you'll all support me.

Whether he dies or not,

I'll be the bey.

When he returns, you'll ask for a meeting.

Ural Bey.

What about Emir Sadettin?

He doesn't want you to sit there.

He will.

When I have beys that trust me and support me,

when we are this strong,

Emir Sadettin will recognize this and approve it.

What about the other beys?

They're all afraid of Emir Sadettin.

They'll want to stand by me for the gold mine and Hanlı Bazaar.

The Cavdars will boast wealth and power.

We've been dreaming about that gold mine

and the Hanlı Bazaar, and a strong tribe, sir.

I'd die for your cause, just say the word.

Talk to the other beys.

Invite them to my marquee tonight.

What happened, Acar Bey?

I came to extend my condolences to Ural Bey.

Kutluca, Head of Guards.

May he make a swift recovery.

May he always be with us.

Acar Bey.

The leader of this tribe is Aliyar Bey.

Don't you forget that.

Ural Bey is just a stand-in.

Don't you ever think about doing anything wrong during his absence.

Ever.

What does that mean?

What are you saying?

What happened, Kutluca?

What's your problem?

Nothing, Çolpan Hatun.

We're just chatting with Acar Bey.

Remember what I said, Acar Bey.

Is Ural Bey in the marquee?

Yes, he is, indeed.

For now.

Wow, check this out!

Thank you for the meal, Çolpan.

I hope it's all to your liking.

You deserve much more.

Thank God, at last, you've gained what's rightfully yours.

You have honored this marquee with your grandeur.

I'm only here temporarily.

However, I'll soon take this marquee for good.

That bastard Kutluca is walking about this tent.

I saw him bothering Acar Bey.

Apparently, he's watching you.

I know, he's acting on Ertuğrul's orders.

However, there'll be another time to think about that.

Let us first deal with the Aslihan problem.

Before that bastard Batuhan died, he must have told Aslihan everything.

Even if we find her, she may not treat you the same.

She couldn't possibly trust those bastards

who kidnapped her instead of me, or the qadis.

Aslihan is unpredictable.

If Batuhan manages to get inside her head and manipulate her,

she'll come asking for payback.

Aslihan will make a stand against you, just like Aliyar.

Aslihan stood by me in my absence.

If she were to be an obstacle, she'd share the same fate as Aliyar.

Don't leave the weaving house now.

I want to know everything that happens there.

As you wish, bey.

Brothers,

I've found footprints.

They are fresh.

Be careful.

Aslihan Hatun!

Attack! Leave no one alive!

Ambush!

God is fair!

Thank you, brother.

-What happened here, Doğan? -We followed the footprints.

They must have been back ups protecting Aslihan Hatun.

They ambushed us.

Bastards.

How is everyone?

Nobody died, thank God.

Thank God.

If they are here, we are

on the right track.

Let us go this way.

We'll look around the valley.

Doğan.

Take Gunkut with you and go that way.

Abdurrahman, you come with me.

Let's go!

Come on!

Who are you? What do you want from me?

We came to save you, Aslihan Hatun.

Don't be afraid.

No!

Don't touch me! Get away from me!

Let me go!

So Batuhan was so low as to strike a deal with the likes of you, huh?

You must be thirsty.

We'll stay here until the time comes.

So, you must stay alive.

Go ahead, drink.

I don't want your water!

Go away!

Fine.

We'll be right outside.

If you need anything,

-you can yell. -Burn in hell, bastard!

God damn Ural and his endless schemes.

There'll be no peace as long as he's alive.

Don't worry, Halime Hatun.

There's time for everything.

I cauterized his wounds and applied ointment.

The rest is up to God.

Thank you, Artuk Bey.

Sir, you'll have to look after both tribes

until Aliyar Bey recovers.

Ural will definitely make a move.

I know, Artuk Bey.

Kutluca will let us know if anything happens in the camp.

However,

if when Aslihan Hatun is lost

and Aliyar Bey is wounded,

if Ural tries to play games again,

this time nothing will save him from me.

Any news from the keep, Artuk Bey?

Not yet, sir, Bamsi hasn't returned yet.

What about Doğan Alp?

Nothing from them either.

So, they're still tracking her.

Batuhan should've taken Aslihan Hatun somewhere half a day's distance.

They'll cover the area of half a day's distance.

If need be, we will search every nook and cranny

with the men of both tribes, as well as those of Emir Sadettin.

If Doğan could just come

Aslihan Hatun!

Aslihan Hatun!

-It came from this way. -Let's move, brother.

This is the emblem of the Cavdar Tribe.

This horse obviously belongs to Aslihan Hatun.

You're right, brother.

She must be hiding in one of the caves in the mountains.

I'll go and inform Ertuğrul Bey, you keep tracking.

Okay, brother.

God!

Emir of Seljuks.

You'll tell me right now all you know about Aslihan Hatun.

Emir Sadettin.

I'm glad to see you as well.

There's no time for that.

Tell me all you know about Aslihan Hatun's whereabouts.

Emir

I'm not Batuhan the bandit.

I'm the governor of Karacahisar Keep, Vasilius.

I'm not the one you should be asking questions.

-I'm just a-- -You're just a what?

I'd like to help you.

You need to relax.

You came here to make a deal, not fight.

Until I find my fiancée Aslihan,

everywhere is a battlefield, and everyone is my enemy.

You surprised me, Emir Sadettin.

I didn't know that Aslihan Hatun was very precious to you.

So, you'd do anything for her.

Good.

I know where Aslihan Hatun is.

May I enter, sir?

Tell me what happened.

We followed the tracks, sir.

The footprints led us to the caves on the way to Crimson Hill.

We found a horse on the road.

We found the emblem of Cavdar Tribe on the saddlebag.

It's probably Aslihan Hatun's horse.

I left Gunkut at the valley to keep watch.

-Turgut. -Yes, sir.

Tell the men.

-We leave before dawn. -As you wish, sir.

Doğan, escort the caravan

that's going to the market, and ensure the security with Banu Çiçek.

As you wish, sir.

Any news from Bamsi?

No, sir, we didn't see him.

Excuse me.

Since they chained you down,

it seems your sin is weighing on you more heavily.

I was wrong to leave the likes of you alive.

I think you mean that you couldn't muster enough power

to kill us.

I could have killed you if I'd wanted.

I swore an oath, Turk.

Don't test my patience.

I swore an oath as well.

I did.

However, I didn't do it to kill people, but

to let them live.

While you gaze down these catacombs and utter cursed words,

we protect the poor people with our bey from the likes of you.

Tell me where she is!

Do you remember

what you told me

when you came here a long time ago, Emir Sadettin?

Knowledge is power.

I'll give you credit.

That's why I'm willing to share my power with you.

For a price.

What do you want?

The Hanlı Bazaar.

Did you lose your mind?

Hanlı Bazaar?

It's not the Hanlı Bazaar that you want.

You want lands that belong to Seljuk Sultanate.

This means war, you realize that, right?

War?

It might be so for you, but for me, it's nothing but a favorable business.

You have a darker scheme, don't you Vasilius?

You're doing everything in your power to break this peace.

However, I warned you once before.

You can't even defend your own fort.

You're playing with fire.

The fire is mine, Emir Sadettin.

Whoever touches me, burns!

Stop this meaningless bartering.

Where is Aslihan Hatun,

and how do you know about it?

Pure chance.

My men were patrolling the area.

Yes, Emir Sadettin.

I'm waiting for your answer.

Will you give me the Hanlı Bazaar?

You will find out what my answer is very soon.

Pray that the peace is not broken while I'm alive.

Because I'll be your opponent.

Don't come in such a fury again.

Your anger weakens you.

You'll die without a fight.

How is he, Artuk Bey?

He's strong in both physique and faith, sir.

He'll soon recover from this and keep leading his tribe.

The problem of leadership always caused problems.

I remember the troubles with my brothers.

With Gündoğdu, and Sungur Tekin.

Sir, thank God you and your brothers didn't kill each other.

We were torn, Artuk Bey.

Just like our tribe.

This tribe doesn't belong to a brotherhood,

but to a man who knows how to lead.

Just like you, Aliyar Bey has proved

that he's not just brave

but he's also a man of honor, with a firm understanding of justice.

And he paid the price for it, Artuk Bey.

As he'll keep paying.

Ertuğrul Bey.

Aliyar Bey.

My sister Aslihan

We'll find her.

We will.

Rest easy.

Rest, so that we may continue our fight in the battlefields.

Excuse me, sir.

Thank God he looks well.

I came here to speak with you

and tell you about what happened.

Vasilius says he knows where Aslihan Hatun is.

And he wants the Hanlı Bazaar in return for that information.

The problem is not the Hanlı Bazaar.

It's that he wants the lands that belong to the Seljuks.

Now, I'm in love with Aslihan Hatun.

Yes.

And Vasilius knows about it.

He wants to exploit my weakness

and make me decide between my country and the woman I love.

The enemy does what befits him, Emir Sadettin.

What matters is not the enemy's actions,

but yours.

We are not battling it out bravely,

but we're fighting in peace, like cowards do.

In these lands, you are the ruler,

and you have the power.

Now,

tell me, what will you do?

Will you rule these lands

by following the lead of Ertuğrul like his tail?

Will you follow the man that sent

his father and his brothers to their deaths

and plotted against Candar Bey's only hope, me?

Will you follow that miserable Aliyar?

We can't do that.

Especially when all the riches are waiting for us to get them.

The Hanlı Bazaar, the gold mine.

While the Kayis flourish, will you just watch them?

We've always trusted you, Ural Bey.

However,

what about the other beys who support Aliyar Bey?

When the time comes, they will accept my authority.

And if they don't,

I'll bathe in their blood.

I'm with you till the day I die, sir.

We're on your side as well, Ural Bey.

Swear on your honor and weapons.

It's against the tradition to rebel against our bey, sir.

I will not support you in your cause,

nor will I swear.

Listen to your heart, and let go of your greed.

Show the right way to these beys

who are drunk with hopes of great riches.

Show them, so that you may be our pride.

You're walking down a foul path.

You'll all bring ruin to our tribe.

Take his body somewhere far away.

If anybody asks,

tell them he was out hunting, and we didn't know.
