Your father was not just my kin, but a close friend.

He took Vassileios in, and raised him to be a great commander.

When the rebels

murdered him, we were deeply shaken, Ekater--

Colpan Hatun.

Unfortunately

we were unable to prevent them from murdering your father.

I find solace in the knowledge that the culprits got what they deserved.

I'll never forget what you did for my father.

Let's cut to the chase. What was it you wanted to say, Ural Bey?

We're listening.

You would be cutting off your nose to spite your face

if you ceased trading with the bazaar.

So, what do you suggest?

Make it known that I will take control of the bazaar from Ertuğrul .

Nobody will be able to stop me.

However, I want it to be done peacefully.

So

what's in it for us, Ural Bey?

You'll get half of everything I make from the bazaar.

And Ertuğrul ?

Bey.

I lost my temper at the rug house.

But I do understand that the rug house must keep producing.

And I also understand that you prefer to solve things in an amicable way.

I just couldn't help it. Forgive me.

Every day brings a new provocation.

I lost my temper today, too.

Mother and you put them in their place.

Thank God for letting me live to see the day.

Being good doesn't always mean being right.

If we want to be right, we must first get past this current dispute,

and then we can bring those responsible for the hostilities to justice.

Trying to do the right thing now

will give the enemy the opportunity to weaken us.

We'll lose if our anger overwhelms us.

They will continue to antagonize and cause unrest,

but we'll bear it with perseverance, my Bey.

Halime.

How many times is that now? The baby kicked again.

-But -But what, Halime?

Gunduz was like this as well.

He didn't rest for a second while inside me.

But

this one is different, my Bey.

It's like

How can I describe it?

The baby is kicking like crazy.

I'd die for that crazy little thing.

He stopped the slave trade and lowered taxes, losing you money,

so it's only natural that Ertuğrul should be seen to get what he deserves.

Smart move, Ural Bey.

Working with able men such as yourself fills me with excitement.

What do you say, Vassileios?

Working with Turks that know their place makes me happy, sir.

However,

they must be brave enough to deliver what they're promising.

I brought the collection records you requested, sir.

How much do we owe the Cavdars?

-Thirteen hundred gold coins, sir. -Pay it immediately.

We'll continue trading with them.

We can't have our precious friends suffering.

Right away, sir.

I was able to procure the money for our immediate needs

from the traders in the bazaar.

It was a very profitable trade, sir.

This cur violated our prohibition on trade with the bazaar.

I only did what was necessary.

A word, once spoken, is past retraction.

I hope you'll keep your word, Ural Bey.

Like a sword, when a promise is sheathed, it rusts.

But our swords are too bloodthirsty to rust.

We'll see. We will see.

Stop! Stop.

That's Laskaris. My bravest warrior.

What's this get up for, Commander Vassileios?

I had it made, Petrus.

The emperor's chamberlain arrives at the castle tomorrow.

You will wear this disguise when you kill him.

Does the governor know he's coming?

The less you know, the safer it is for all of us.

The chamberlain is bringing gold from the emperor.

That gold will be used in the fight against the Turks.

As for Laskaris

He will change the fate of these lands.

I'm at your service until the day I die.

Laskaris! Laskaris!

I can hear it already. May God protect you.

Colpan! Come.

I could have torn their eyes out and drunk their blood

but instead, I laughed with them,

and ate dinner with them.

Please, God, forgive me.

Colpan

Get a good night's rest. Come on, go to bed.

May our hatred soothe our pain.

Sleep well.

Vassileios

He's the very definition of evil.

Don't let him take you from me like he took my father.

Don't leave our child without a father.

Colpan?

Do you mean?

Our prayers have been answered, Ural.

I'm carrying the heir to the throne

that we have waited for for so long.

Let's eat then.

This food is great.

Let's eat, brother.

My brothers, I have a story about a brave man.

I'll tell you about a brave man, brothers.

Let's hear it, brother.

My brothers! Listen to my story.

Let me tell you about a brave man.

My brothers,

this man was so brave, he was blessed with the light of Islam.

He was born to the great Turks, and brought up by the Turks.

He had the eyes of a hawk, with eyebrows arched like the new moon.

My brothers, this brave man was called Battal Gazi.

Battal Gazi!

My brothers, Battal Gazi lost his mother at a young age.

He grew up lonely, desperate for love.

He was loved only by his father.

But, my brothers,

he stood side by side with great rulers in his youth.

He was a great bowman, a great swordsman, and a great horseman.

My brothers

strange as it may sound

God gifted him with a second sight.

So great was his gift

he would find shortcuts to win wars,

detect dangerous men at the inn,

and eventually foresee the ill-fate that his tribe would suffer.

Sometimes, he'd dream about these things, brothers.

Now, my brothers, Battal Gazi grew up to be a great man.

Everybody heard about his exploits.

The great Sultan

after hearing all of this, befriended Battal Gazi.

Our poor Battal

rose through the ranks swiftly, and was able to talk to the sultans face to face.

Brothers! My brothers!

Pray tell me,

-does battle make the man? -Yes!

That's true, brothers.

So, the Sultan issued an edict,

ordering the conquest of the Byzantine stronghold.

Battal Gazi, finding out about this edict, re-joined the ranks.

My brothers,

he fought feverishly, never resting.

But the stronghold didn't fall.

My brothers!

Ten days. No, 20 days, brothers. One whole month.

Still, the fortress doesn't fall.

My brothers!

The Sultan, seeing his men fall one by one,

was concerned about our poor Battal.

He told him,

"You can go now if you want to, Battal Gazi.

I can't let you die."

My brothers,

the Sultan said he could go

but Battal Gazi took it to heart.

He prepared to pray. And pray he did.

He opened his arms and prayed to his God.

And then, brothers, he went for a stroll.

Whether the stroll

was a dream or not, he didn't know.

But suddenly, a woman appeared in front of him.

He followed her without meaning to.

He walked and walked and walked.

After a while, he realized that she had stopped at a spring.

And then, suddenly, she disappeared in a flash!

But then Battal Gazi realized

that the waters that sprung from there flowed right into the fortress.

My brothers.

Battal Gazi recited the Kalima Shahadah.

He yelled "Allāhu akbar,"

-and dove into the water. -Allāhu akbar! Allāhu akbar!

Allāhu akbar, brothers.

So, he dove into the water

and finally emerged from a well inside the fortress.

Brothers, once he got out of the well

he saw the men drunk on wine, all asleep.

Battal Gazi said to himself,

"You heathens! If you underestimate us and sleep,

I will open the gates of your fortress."

My brothers, he saw two guards patrolling the gates,

and took both their heads!

Then he opened the fortress's huge gates

and in came the armies of Islam.

Hurrah!

Brothers

he never knew whether that woman

was an angel or not

but she showed him the way with God's light.

What a woman!

What do you say, Bamsi?

Would you like a woman to conquer this stronghold?

Bey, everybody needs that kind of woman.

Dundar Bey My men! My men!

Those of you accompanying me tomorrow should get ready.

We head out first thing.

Their debts are listed in here, Bey.

God speed, Bey.

Thank you, Artuk Bey.

Abdurrahman, prepare the horses. Tell the men we're heading out.

As you command, Bey.

It's the truth! We've been plagued by trouble

ever since Ertuğrul Bey took over the market. We've had enough!

Know your place!

How dare you speak about Ertuğrul Bey like that?

But it's the truth! Life was much easier before Ertuğrul Bey came.

First the bandits, now the governor

Ertuğrul Bey put an end to that tyrant Simon's oppression,

you ungrateful wretch!

You're just as bad as Simon!

You've destroyed my stall and are yelling at me!

You

What the hell are you doing?

Turgut Alp, this man was blaming Ertuğrul Bey

for what the governor has done.

He was speaking ill of Ertuğrul Bey behind his back, the ungrateful dog!

We came here to bring justice.

We promised the merchants that we'd protect them.

We promised them!

And is this how you keep that promise?

You're right, Turgut Alp. It was wrong of us.

Now, compensate this man for his losses.

And listen to what he has to say.

As you wish.

As you wish.

Turgut Alp.

I've worked at many markets, but not once have I seen such bravery.

I spoke ill of Ertuğrul Bey out of fury.

Forgive me. May God protect you.

Thank you.

-Selamun aleykum. -Aleykum selam, Artuk Bey.

Kutluca, you have seen for yourself that Ertuğrul Bey is just and fair.

Yes, Artuk Bey. The animosity between our two tribes saddens me very much.

Likewise, Kutluca.

Of course, when the time comes,

the wrongdoers will be brought to justice before God.

Excuse me, Bey.

Kutluca, you are a brave man with a sound moral compass,

and you trust your bey. I know you.

But the worst sinners are those who keep silent when they see injustice.

Godspeed.

You must keep on your cap. It's getting cold.

Does an alp take off his cap?

I'd die for this alp!

Mother Hayme.

Candar Bey is here. He wants to see Ertuğrul Bey.

He's breathing fire. I said Ertuğrul wasn't here.

-However-- -Let him in.

Let's hear what he has to say.

Off you go.

Welcome, Candar Bey. Please sit.

So, you want to see Ertuğrul . If he'd known, he'd have waited.

They said he wasn't at the bazaar.

There are matters relating to the bazaar and to the tribe which he must deal with.

Tell me what it is you want to say.

Candar Bey.

For years now, I have represented my tribe.

Whatever's on your mind, you can tell me.

After yesterday's incident at the inn, the situation has become untenable.

If Ertuğrul Bey is trying to test my patience

-and disrespect me-- -What are you saying?

Your honor is our honor.

In that case, what's the meaning of all this?

If it's not your son, it's his bride.

If you're trying to provoke a fight between our tribes,

then be on your guard. I have taken my own precautions.

You should take precautions against the traitor inside your tent, Candar Bey.

Do you mean to accuse my son, just like Ertuğrul Bey has done?

Ertuğrul is looking for the traitor.

He'll find him, sooner or later.

Then he should look somewhere else.

Do you really think it was Ural who burned your rugs and killed your alps?

Do you think it was Ural who hired that scoundrel, Karakoncolos?

And do you really

think Ural would provoke that thug, Francisco,

knowing it would mean his sister's death?

Tell me, Hayme Hatun. Tell me!

Candar Bey,

Ertuğrul Bey and I both know

that the traitor has made his nest somewhere inside the bazaar.

The traitor is amongst us, Candar Bey.

Ertuğrul Bey will find this tumor and cut it out with his sword.

If you do indeed speak on your son's behalf,

then take this as my final warning, Hayme Hatun.

Stay away from my children.

Ertuğrul Bey has isolated himself with his greed.

I have no sympathy for his predicament

nor will I show mercy.

Be in no doubt, I'll not hesitate to trample all over him and his tribe.

Trust in God is all a man needs.

I know that Ertuğrul Bey fears nobody but God.

We will see

Hayme Hatun.

We will see.

Candar Bey.

Open your eyes.

An old wolf is but food to its pups.

Open your eyes, lest you and your tribe suffer.

I'm so happy at the thought of seeing my father again, Dimitris.

I'm sure your father is just as happy.

We're being attacked!

Run!

Help!

Catch her!

Leave it to us, sir. She won't get away.

Prepare my horse.

Bury the dead. Leave no traces.

I have to report back to Commander Vassileios.

Tell the governor that Ertuğrul Bey of the Kayi Tribe has come to see him.

Wait here.

I did not miss this place at all, Bey.

I remember all too well the days I spent here.

I remember the days we spent in Antakya, Bey.

Hopefully

we'll conquer this fort as well, my Bey.

I hope so, Turgut. I hope so.

I've set aside three months’ worth of food in any case, sir.

That's enough to see us through the winter.

We won't need the market.

Ertuğrul Bey of the Kayi Tribe is here, sir.

Show him in.

-He's walked right into our trap. -That makes two.

If things carry on like this, we'll be free of the Turk scum

sooner than I imagined.

I collected everything owed to us, Father.

You have made me proud again, son.

I now wish that I'd listened to your warnings about Ertuğrul .

The bazaar would've been ours.

Rest assured, Father. There's plenty of time for that.

Colpan Hatun has something to tell you, Father.

What is it, my dear?

I'm pregnant, Bey.

You'll have a grandchild before the summer.

Thank God!

Thank God for blessing me with such excellent children!

May I enter, Bey?

Bey, Emir Saadettin Kopek is here. He wants to see you.

Show him in. Right away.

I told you, Father.

But you said we couldn't trust Emir Saadettin Kopek.

The Emir trusts you and the strength of the Cavdar Tribe.

In coming all the way here, he has amply demonstrated that.

Candar Bey, thank God!

Years later, we get to meet again.

You honor my tribe, Your Highness.

I've been charged by our Sultan with ensuring peace prevails in these lands.

I'd like to

be your guest for a while.

You are more than welcome, Your Highness.

Colpan Hatun, have them prepare ram meat for His Highness.

We'll have a feast worthy of our tribe.

Yes, my Bey.

Come, Your Highness.

I do not intend to leave these lands until I bring those responsible

for the current unrest to justice.

In that case, we must be grateful to Ertuğrul Bey.
