Original subtitles

The Templars are no more, Commander Vasilius.

The victory is yours.

I would have them bite each other without touching a thing.

So, Ertuğrul killed the Templars in our stead?

And now, he'll save us from the Turks.

At last, we'll see them all die, thanks to you.

The real battle begins now, Petrus.

When Ertuğrul comes knocking on my door.

I sent a messenger to him.

He'll tell them that the trade between Karacahisar and the bazaar is over.

Ertuğrul will fall into your lap to protect the market.

Yes. The thing is, I set a trap.

The barbaric Turks attacking this land, and Sultan Alaeddin,

will all be itching to kill Ertuğrul. Just you wait and see.

Bey, there is news from the governor of Karacahisar.

They have ceased all trade with the bazaar.

It's a bad idea. It'll hurt both sides.

No, it isn't good.

We trusted you, Ertuğrul Bey. You haven't let us down, not once.

As the bandits rot outside the inn

it's time we hunted down their master.

Know this!

The one responsible for this uproar

is among you.

And who is that, Ertuğrul Bey?

Ertuğrul Bey.

It's obvious that you're just stalling them with this nonsense.

However, Artuk Bey brought you news from Karacahisar.

Let's hear it.

Once we do, let's see if you can keep stalling them.

I'm curious.

The governor has ceased all trade with the market as of today, Bey.

Ertuğrul Bey, what will you do now?

This isn't just about some bandits anymore, it's the governor.

What about their debts to us?

Ertuğrul Bey, as long as you're in control of the bazaar,

they'll make life unbearable for us.

Now you do this to us, Halime Hatun?

Ertuğrul Bey is damaging our business.

You should think very carefully before you speak of Ertuğrul Bey.

Ertuğrul Bey sheds his blood for the good of all.

You know that full well, Çolpan Hatun.

I hope those responsible for this disaster choke on their own blood.

That will be a day worth celebrating.

What did you just say?

Don't you dare! Or else

Halime, Aslıhan!

You think you're the angel of death?

Will you take the life God bestowed upon us?

Halime, enough!

I'll make sure you eat those words.

Halime, what's going on?

I'll cut out the tongue of whoever speaks ill of Ertuğrul Bey,

and I'll carve out the eyes of anyone who looks askance at him.

Let it be known!

Everyone will get what's coming to them.

If you open that wretched mouth of yours again, you'll regret it.

Understand?

Now, make way! Clear the area!

Disperse! Go on.

Come on!

So many are going to suffer because of your son.

And yet his bride still dares pontificate.

What are you babbling on about?

As it stands, the governor of Karacahisar has ceased all trade with the market.

It's no longer just the Cavdars,

now all Turkmen tribes will suffer because of your son.

Damn the day you came to these lands.

Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah.

What now?

Could this news mean

you'll meet your doom at the walls of Karacahisar?

Brother

Tell me. What'll you do now?

What are you trying to achieve

by claiming the bandits are plotting something behind the scenes?

Do you think you'll be able to save yourself by

exploiting their fear of a dreamt-up devil?

Ural Bey, that devil makes its nest in the hearts of men.

Especially in the hearts of men rotten with greed.

No one could be in any doubt who that man is.

Stop talking in riddles, Ertuğrul Bey.

If you have something to say, say it.

My rugs were burned on the way to Constantinople.

My men were killed.

Karakoncolos and Francisco attacked us. All the work of one man.

You ask what my purpose is.

It is to hunt down that scoundrel.

Every breath he takes will knot in his chest.

Every time he takes a step a piece of him will shatter on the ground.

And who is this scoundrel? Tell us, so we can all know.

Hiding behind your men and your tribe

is not something a proper man would do.

Is that the kind of man you are, Ertuğrul Bey?

Bamsi!

Ertuğrul Bey! Brother! What are you doing?

Stop, Aliyar Bey. This is for them to settle.

Ertuğrul Bey, stop now.

You know how many will die if you do this, Bey.

No matter in which tribe he takes shelter,

he'll never get away from me.

I'll not rest until I burn down the tents

of those who dared hurt my wife and my son,

and who set their eyes on this bazaar.

That'll be all.

You'll burn along with your delusions, Ertuğrul.

Your accusations will be your end.

Brother.

Enough.

Listen to me carefully.

The blood of many brave men

has been spilled in this land.

Those responsible, out of respect for our martyrs,

will be made to pay by the sword of Ertuğrul.

Mother Hayme, your son's sword is fit only for fighting with bandits.

We'll all witness him fall before the great governor of Karacahisar.

This is the end of your pompous charade, Halime Sultan.

Now you get what you deserve.

Are you still talking? What did we do to you to deserve this?

What happens to the bazaar is none of your business.

It is God who allows us to prosper, not the governor.

Ertuğrul Bey will do whatever's necessary.

Women!

Don't forget the promise you made.

The survival of both tribes depends on your hard work.

The leaders of both tribes made a deal to weave these rugs.

Only they, and no one else, may revoke that deal.

Your duty is to work.

Back to work. Go on.

Go on.

-Halime. -Yes, Mother?

-Is the dye for the rugs ready? -Yes, Mother.

It's time to dye the yarns, there's still a great deal of work to do.

Yes, Halime Hatun.

Come on, work the looms.

We've a lot of work ahead of us, work!

Come on!

When will you let go of your greed,

and of your obstinacy, brother?

Speak no more.

I'm already so close to the edge. I'll wreak my anger on you.

You started all this, brother.

If you hadn't attacked their caravans none of this would have happened.

You set your sights on what little profit the Kayis made.

Now look at us.

This all happened because of your greed and your anger, brother.

Now, tell me the truth.

Was it you who encouraged

that man hanging in front of the inn?

What did you say?

If Ertuğrul didn't know something he wouldn't have pointed the finger.

Do you still believe everything that wretch says?

You've let me down.

-Shame on you! -Ural!

Please, stop!

You pulled your knife out, brother?

Tell me.

Was it you? Tell me!

Get out of my sight.

Aliyar.

Get out!

Or I'll not be able to stop myself. Get out!

I'll be watching you now, brother. Don't you forget that.

If it was you who committed that

treachery,

for my father's honor and that of the tribe,

I'll face you myself.

Aliyar, enough!

No more of this. He's your big brother.

What happened? What's this blood?

Ertuğrul He did it again, Çolpan.

He attacked me, while he hid behind his men.

God damn you, Ertuğrul.

He knows everything, Çolpan.

Everything.

But he's weak.

He keeps it to himself.

If I don't stop him,

so many men will die.

In that case, you know what you have to do.

What are you standing here for?

Çolpan. Be ready.

Tonight we go to see the governor.

Ural Bey will use this fight as an excuse, Bey.

He'll agitate his family.

I couldn't keep it down, Artuk Bey.

I was weak.

The Sultan doesn't want me to disturb the peace.

If there was to be a war between our tribes

and the Byzantines attacked, the consequences would be devastating.

What's done is done, Bey.

Now we must talk about the other matter at hand.

Karacahisar Castle.

I know that it's asking a great deal of you, Çolpan.

However, even if they did murder your father,

I must ally myself with them.

This is my last chance to wrest the bazaar out of Ertuğrul's hands.

How on earth will you convince the governor?

I'll give them what they want.

Bey

I have survived to this day by keeping silent.

Those two men murdered my father when I was still only a child.

My hatred of them fanned the flames of revenge every passing day.

And now you say you'll avenge my father?

If so

there will be a smile on my face when I meet them.

I'll eat with them.

I'll even sing songs for them.

If you can just avenge my father

When the right time comes,

I'll be the sole ruler of these lands.

And then,

I'll avenge your father, Çolpan. I will.

In that case, I'm with you.

We got their trade routes by taking control of the bazaar.

They get their food through the bazaar.

They don't have an alternative supply.

Then why would they do this?

They could try to get their food from their capital city, Nicaea,

but it'd mean their death in winter, Bey.

The governor obviously wants me to go to the castle.

Köpek on one side, Ural on the other. And now the governor

The whole world could fall upon us, Bey.

We'll give them a run for their money, every one of them, Bey.

With God's help.

However, if they were to unite against you, Bey,

the task facing us would be huge.

We can't just sit around waiting.

We must go to Karacahisar Castle

and find out what the governor wants.

The battles we must fight keep increasing in number.

From now on, you will be in charge of the bazaar, Artuk Bey.

Dundar, Bamsi.

Have our men patrol the trade routes day and night until we are rid of them.

Artuk Bey can tell you in advance which routes the traders will take.

Take appropriate precautions.

Their lives are your responsibility, my brothers.

-As you wish, Bey. -As you wish, Bey.

-Turgut. -Yes, Bey.

Doğan.

You're coming with me tomorrow to Karacahisar Castle.

As you wish.

What will we do there, Bey?

We'll meet with the governor. He can see our gallant men.

It is not a question of just conquering Karacahisar Castle.

The people must be happy to see us do it.

Did the messenger reach the bazaar?

Ertuğrul received the news, sir.

Ertuğrul will come begging for his market, sooner or later.

With Sultan Alaeddin dealing with the Mongols in the east,

Ertuğrul can't stand against you,

especially when he's at odds with the Cavdar tribe.

And not just that, there's also Ural.

Ural's inferiority complex burns him to the core,

he'll be desperate to get his hands on the bazaar.

Yes.

By the way,

your play on the Templars was spectacular.

You saved me from a particularly tiresome task without the loss of a single man.

Now, as I think about what you're about to do to Ertuğrul,

I can't help but feel proud of you, son.

May God be with you.

Thank you, sir.

I have more good news for you. She'll arrive soon.

Your daughter, Helena!

My daughter.

So, she's coming to see her old father.

I've missed her so much.

Have them prepare a welcoming ceremony.

And have them prepare the food she likes.

As you wish, I'll deal with it personally.

CAVDAR TRIBE

Up until this point, I have endured everything he's done.

But no one

is permitted to raise a hand against a son of Candar Bey.

It's time Ertuğrul was put in his place.

Brother.

Will you not tell our father why Ertuğrul Bey attacked you?

Whatever it was, Aliyar,

whatever the reason may be,

no one may raise a hand to Candar Bey's son.

Ural is your brother. Not Ertuğrul. Remember that.

He's ignorant. He is.

When did he ever take our side?

Brother.

I only take the side of God.

I wish you'd understand that!

You disregard your elders, and your traditions.

And to make matters worse, you keep finding fault with everything we do.

Aliyar.

When did you become one of Ertuğrul's sheep?

You're being insulting, Father.

Ertuğrul Bey strives for unity between us. That's why I support him.

But I have never,

never betrayed my elders or our traditions. Never!

Aliyar.

Ertuğrul strives to divide our lands slowly and surely.

He's already succeeded in driving a wedge between brothers.

How can you talk about unity?

Father is right.

That dog made brothers into enemies.

And the bazaar is because of him, as well.

Not to mention your humiliation.

He won't get away with it.

Shame on you.

What do you hope to gain from defending a man that insults Father and our tribe?

You too, Aslıhan?

My sister

Ertuğrul has crossed the line.

He must pay for what he has done.

Don't worry, my dear.

It's his fate, he won't escape it.

I'll go to the inn and avenge the wrongs he has committed against us.

We can't let Ertuğrul make another attempt on our lives, Father.

With your permission,

I'd like to go to the castle with Çolpan Hatun tonight.

I'll meet with the governor and collect their debts personally.

While I'm there, I'll ask him to trade only with us from now on.

We can't let Ertuğrul

destroy our trade with the castle because of his failures.

You are right, Ural.

I have every faith in you.

Now, rid us of this problem as soon as possible.

KAYI TRIBE

Selamun aleykum.

Aleykum selamun.

May you recover quickly, lad.

Thank you, Commander Turgut.

Ishak, what's his condition?

I've sewn his wounds and applied some ointment to ease his pain.

With God's help he should recover soon.

Hopefully.

You protected the mine with your lives.

You didn't submit to the bandits.

You didn't let us down.

We'd happily lay down our lives for our bey, Turgut Alp.

Thank you, Gunkut.

Master Haçaturyan.

We'll hold off on further mining until we can be sure it's safe.

Turgut Alp, that can't be!

We just started extracting the gold.

We've more enemies than any gold you might find, Master Haçaturyan.

We can't risk your life or those of our men for gold.

What can I say?

May God protect you from ill-will.

Amen.

Ekaterina Angelos, my dear cousin.

Çolpan, governor, sir.

I am Çolpan now, the wife of Cavdars.

Welcome.

What brings you here, Ural Bey?

The bazaar.

Ah, that.

I hope you haven't been inconvenienced because of that man Ertuğrul's insolence.

My tribe was hurt, just like everyone else.

However, I didn't come here solely in relation to that matter, sir.

Ural Bey, one can see by your face how much Ertuğrul has hurt you.

I want to make peace work for everyone.

Especially you.

Except for Ertuğrul, right, Ural Bey?

Yes, Commander Vasilius, except for him.

We'll have more time to discuss this over dinner.

Now, please rest until then.

It looks like we have much to talk about.

Son, this hasn't turned out well for us. People are uneasy.

I know, Mother.

First bandits, now the governor.

Nobody was happy with our conquest.

That's especially true of the Cavdars.

Their jealousy is killing them.

They're ready to explode all the time.

Keep the work going in the rug house and keep a tight hold on yourself.

We made a promise to the Cavdars. The rugs must be finished in time.

We'll think of something if they break their promise.

Don't worry, son.

As long as I'm there, I'll not allow any arguments.

We'll finish the rugs in time.

And I'll handle the governor. I'll go and see what he wants.

I cannot have the people suffering.

The governor made his intentions clear. He obviously considers himself your enemy.

Despite that,

you will still go and knock on his door?

Going to the castle you want to conquer is worse than entering the lion's den.

It's the only way. I'm prepared to do whatever's necessary.

Come, my dear.

Come, sit beside me. Come.

My dear girl.

You've grown pale. Why?

Father. I'm exhausted.

What happened?

I'm not at ease at the rug house, Father.

Halime Sultan means to hurt me. She claims that I aspire to Ertuğrul Bey.

She's insulting me, Father.

First her husband's insolence,

and now we have to deal with her jealousy?

It must be hard, dear.

But we must finish the rugs in time.

I can cancel my request,

and take back my hand of friendship whenever I want.

I'll have that wretch Ertuğrul and his wife

come to my tent on their knees.

I'll have them apologize to you,

to Ural and to his wife.

Or he'll have to find some other land in which to live.
