You mountain bear.

You eat all the time, you kill heathens all the time.

We kept calling you a mountain bear, and you became one for real.

Brother!

You look at my face and you're deceived.

You have no idea how many stories and dreams

are in this big head.

Oo!

Brother Bamsi, tell us what's in your head so we know.

Hmm.

Do I have your permission, brother?

Go ahead! Tell us.

Thank you.

Brothers, I'll tell you a story.

It may be real, it may not, but don't interrupt me, okay?

-All right. -All right, brother.

Fine, brothers, fine.

Brothers, once upon a time there was a brave man called Crazy Dumrul.

Brothers, this brave man was a warrior

but above all he was incredibly strong.

He was so strong that he'd move mountains if he pushed them,

he'd destroy the rocks if he hit them with his sword.

Brothers, one day, Crazy Dumrul built a bridge over a dry brook.

What's the point of building a bridge over a dry brook?

Brothers, it helped as much as brother Doğan helped us at home.

Anyhow brothers, Crazy Dumrul built a bridge over a dry brook.

He'd take 30 coins from the people who passed the bridge

and he'd take 40 forcefully from those who didn't.

That was Crazy Dumrul, no one could stand up to him or say a word against him.

Brothers, one day a brave man in the neighbor nomad group died.

Everybody cried and mourned.

So Crazy Dumrul heard about this and ran over there.

He saw the brave man and asked, "Who killed this brave man without pity?"

His people said, "His time came. Death came and took his life."

Brothers, our Crazy Dumrul was incredibly strong but

he wasn't as bright as my brother Doğan.

He said, "Who is this Death? Who is he to come here and take lives?"

He opened up and raised his hands and said, "My God, let me find this Death.

Let me so I can fight him and take back the life of this brave man."

Brothers, he said that and walked away from the group.

He started to walk. He walked and walked,

and who did he suddenly see?

Who did he see, brother?

Death.

Brothers, when Crazy Dumrul walked up to Death,

Death got our man down on his back.

Brothers, as he was about to take Crazy Dumrul's life,

Crazy Dumrul came to his senses just in time.

He begged and cried.

He begged him not to take his life.

Brothers, Death replied and said,

"I can only spare your life if someone else is willing to die for you."

Brothers, Crazy Dumrul ran to his mother right away.

He asked her, "Mama, would you die for me?"

She wouldn't.

He ran to his father, his father wouldn't die for him either.

Brothers, because of this, Crazy Dumrul realized that death was upon him.

Because of this, he ran to his woman to say goodbye.

When he told her about what was going to happen, she said,

"There's no point in me living if you're not there.

Tell that Death to come and take my life."

Wow!

Wow!

Brothers, as soon as his woman said these words, Death appeared before her.

As he was about to take the woman's life,

our Crazy Dumrul couldn't take it.

He got down on his knees, opened up his hands and prayed to his God.

He said, "My God,

take both of our lives, if you must."

Brothers.

God liked this prayer of Crazy Dumrul.

And he spared the lives of both, brothers.

Just wait, wait!

So, what does this story tell us, brothers?

If you can't tell, I'll tell you, brothers.

So, brothers, this story tell us this.

You must die before you die.

Brothers,

we have to appreciate the value of our lives,

before we face Death, that no sword or weapon can defeat.

We have to fight with the demon and we have to win that fight.

Brother Bamsi, if this would happen to you

there are no women that would die for you.

What are you going to do?

Brother!

Brother, I cut your hair and you still haven't cleaned yourself up.

You scared me, Kutluca Alp.

What are you doing, Aybüke Hatun?

Getting the table ready for Majesty Emir.

The last time I saw you, you were setting up a table for late Toktamış Bey.

God rest his soul. The poor man was innocent.

The dead man was innocent.

But the ones who poisoned him?

They say they all got what they deserved.

My Ural Bey took the head of that rascal Simon.

May God keep our beys beside us.

If that bastard's hands couldn't reach up here,

they wouldn't have injected the poison into Toktamış Bey's stomach.

Are you in a rush, Aybüke Hatun?

Çolpan Hatun is waiting for me.

Leave then, don't make her wait.

Fill it up, brother.

Fill it up. Thanks.

Thank you, brother.

Stop, you're eating all the food.

Leave some for Tekfur.

Brothers, do you think I eat for pleasure?

I'm checking to see if it's poisoned or not.

What kind of poison could kill you, mountain bear?

None. My body is strong.

Doğan, keep an eye on everyone coming and going.

Talk to Aleko, make him personally greet the merchants that we invited.

There won't be any strangers.

All right, my Alp commander.

I don't think you're doing well.

If you keep eating like this, you'll get fat and Helena won't even look at you.

Go away. You've made me lose my appetite.

You've made me lose my appetite.

Have we taken the necessary measures, Artuk Bey?

Everything is under control, my bey.

Today is an important day for the bazaar and the local people.

We'll host them as necessary.

Don't you worry, bey.

However, I worry about Emir Sadettin.

He won't like the fact that Tekfur is here.

He'll use that to drive a wedge between you and our Sultan, bey.

We want peace, Artuk Bey.

It doesn't matter what Emir Sadettin tells the Sultan.

As long as Tekfur is by our side and the peace goes on

our Sultan will be happy.

And that's enough for us.

It does not bode well that Emir Sadettin has been in the Cavdar Group

for days, my bey.

Apparently, an evil alliance has been formed, Artuk Bey.

Ural and Emir Sadettin will work together to create trouble.

Let them do their best.

We have our God.

All right, my bey.

-May I enter, bey? -Come in, Abdur Rahman.

Tekfur and Vasilius are here, bey.

My lady

Kutluca has been pressuring me.

He's trying to get information from me about Toktamış.

-You didn't let anything slip, right? -No.

Good. Don't say a word.

I'll take care of it.

You've set an amazing table again, Çolpan Hatun. God bless your hands.

Enjoy it, Father.

Come on, get everyone.

Welcome.

Welcome, Helena.

Thank you, Halime Sultan.

Thank you, Ertuğrul Bey.

Welcome, Commander Vasilius.

Father!

This is the man who saved my life, Father.

I'm grateful to you, brave man. What's your name?

My name is Bamsi Alp.

Helena Hatun exaggerated.

God helped, and I saved her. It's not important.

Helena, if you wish, we could wait somewhere else until the dinner is ready.

Please go ahead.

I appreciate you hosting us again.

Finally we gathered for something nice.

I hope we come together more often.

And we'd like to see you more from now on.

And of course, I'd like to host you in the castle.

I hope so.

Just let us know whenever you want to come over.

We'll welcome you.

Our men will make sure you travel safely.

And your father will feel at ease.

I owe your men.

I've seen what brave warriors they are. Especially Bamsi Alp.

He endangered his life to save me.

That's Bamsi Alp. He's so brave.

Don't let his looks fool you. He's got such a soft heart.

I noticed that.

But he's very shy. He gets flustered when he sees me.

Bamsi Alp has not been this interested in a woman before.

That's why he gets a bit shy.

How can a brave warrior like him

Jesus said

"I am the gate for the sheep, all who ever came before me were thieves and robbers.

But the sheep have not listened to them, I am the gate.

A thief only wants to steal and kill.

But I am here so that people can live in abundance."

Sleep peacefully.

Galathea

My sweet little servant.

Sleep peacefully.

Let's start.

-In the name of God. -Thank you, in the name of God.

In the name of God.

Sir

The reason for my visit is obvious.

It's the safety of Turkmen nomads.

As you know, to make their safety a permanent priority,

we have to pursue holier things.

You're right, Majesty Emir.

It's time to talk about auspicious business.

Most auspicious of them all is marriage, Candar Bey.

Because marriage establishes kinship, peace and unity.

My intention is

to keep this peace at this table.

Well said, Majesty Emir.

We've been longing for peace.

I know.

Because of that

with the order of God and the word of the prophet,

I'd like to ask for your daughter

Aslıhan Hatun's hand in marriage.

These are the arrows that the bastards used when they attempted

to kill your daughter, Majesty Tekfur.

That's the arrow which they thought

was a Kayi arrow and tried to defame our name.

We Turks use pine wood for arrows.

And not any pine, we choose the best.

They used beech wood for these arrows.

We coat it with tempered gazelle skin

so that the wind can't interfere with its range.

However, the feather of an unknown bird is used for these arrows.

What are you trying to say, Ertuğrul Bey?

The perpetrator who tried to damage our peace

is not Turkmen, let alone Kayi.

How dare you imply

that the traitor is one of us, Ertuğrul Bey?

The arrow head

isn't hammered in the Turkish style

but in the Byzantine style.

The best archers that the world has seen hammered the arrow head this way.

We wouldn't be able to honor Islam,

or we'd be the slaves of other tribes, Commander Vasilius.

We wouldn't be living on this land,

or sit at this table.

Yes

If there's a traitor,

you should look into your own men, Commander Vasilius.

You should know that

Suleyman Shah's son Ertuğrul

won't feel at ease till he finds that traitor and kills him.

It's my duty to find and punish those traitors in due course.

However

you should know

that this brave bey

who saved my daughter's life and who fought without hesitation

just for the emperor's wish for peace

is such a valuable man

in my eyes from now on.

Vasilius!

With God as my witness,

as long as I'm alive

I'll do whatever it takes to keep this friendship.

I hope Ertuğrul Bey knows what an honor it is

to have your friendship.

Suleyman Shah's son Ertuğrul and his tribe

they traced.

They traveled.

They fought and stepped on this land.

This group knows very well what companionship is

and what foul play is.

They're grateful.

They appreciate.

We're good with our friends,

and bad with our enemies.

Karacahisar's Tekfur has come to our table and declared his friendship.

Everyone should know

that from now on your friend is my friend and your enemy is my enemy.

To continue our friendship

I've erased all the debts that Karacahisar people owed to the inn.

And

Suleyman Shah's son Ertuğrul says

I'm glad hell exists for the traitors!

I dedicated my whole life, first to my government,

and then to my people,

Emir Sadettin.

I fought in many battles for our government.

The honor of being a veteran consoles me

from the sorrow of not being a martyr.

However,

you've blessed me with such an honor

that these days my sword rusts in its sheath.

I want you to know that I appreciate it.

Of course we'd be honored by such a marriage.

But I'd like to know

what my children think about this.

We're happy that you deemed

our dear sister suitable for yourself.

Your offer will connect many Turkmen groups that will join us

to our government.

Such a marriage would be suitable for a beauty like Aslıhan, my bey.

Aliyar

My sister Aslıhan will make the best decision, Father.

Aslıhan, my daughter?

I'd like to know what you think about this.

What do you say to the offer of Majesty Emir?

HANLI BAZAAR

You gave the best answer to bastards

by keeping the peace and growing the commerce.

So I say let's talk to merchants before we head back to the castle.

Let them hear from me personally that our commerce will continue.

So our enemies will hear about it along with our friends.

Well thought.

Let's go then.

Have you lost your tongue, child?

Why don't you speak?

Everyone wants to hear what you have to say.

Emir Sadettin's offer honored not only you,

but also me.

To be the wife

of Majesty Emir who serves a big duty right next to

the throne in Sultan's palace

will be a big burden on my shoulders.

Aslıhan

There are no burdens that you can't overcome.

I dedicated my life to serve my people.

My people My father

My brothers

I said my bed should be in a tent.

Not between the walls of the palace.

I wanted to raise my children in endless lands.

Not in the dark rooms of the palace.

Aslıhan What are you saying?

Ural

You What are you trying to say, daughter?

If our bey orders,

of course, I would accept this honor.

But if you let me decide

that's what I say.

Majesty Emir shouldn't have offered this to a girl that's in love with

cool summer pastures,

warm winter quarters, and long roads ridden on her horse.

But to a girl that's worthy of a palace.

Even this word of yours

shows how much you're worthy of a palace, Aslıhan.

If you'll excuse me, bey.

Majesty Emir

I'd like to think about your honorable offer.

Hey, folks!

Hey, folks!

Hear ye, hear ye!

Our Ertuğrul Bey and Tekfur

would like to meet merchants

and talk!

He wants to have a heart to heart talk.

Hey, folks!

Hear ye, hear ye!

Our Ertuğrul Bey and Tekfur

would like to meet merchants

and talk!

He wants to have a heart to heart talk.

Hey, folks!

Hear ye, hear ye!

Look at the mountain bear roar.

But this bear has such a voice.

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Welcome!

You have honored our bazaar! Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

-Long live Ertuğrul Bey! -Majesty Tekfur, welcome!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Jewish, Muslim, Orthodox.

All of us and all merchants are grateful to our Ertuğrul Bey.

That's right!

He saved all of us from traitors and bandits.

That's right! He's right!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

He ended the unfair taxes

and helped our people and us.

He brought order and justice to our bazaar.

Long live Ertuğrul Bey! You honored our bazaar!

You won the hearts of the merchants, Ertuğrul Bey.

To split up the bread that God has given us with justice

is a binding duty.

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

You honored us!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Halime, I am so sorry

for your father and brother.

Evil has spread everywhere.

I know that

Ertuğrul Bey will reveal the betrayal in our lands.

I hope so.

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

Long live Ertuğrul Bey!

The honest merchants of Hanlı bazaar.

I'd like all of you to know

that the commerce between Hanlı Bazaar and Karacahisar has started again.

Moreover, I ordered to collect

your debts in a few days.

Father!

Tekfur is shot! Tekfur is shot!

Turgut! Turgut, there!

Father!

Run, run, run!

Bring the horses!

Run, run, run!

Block all the entrances and exits! I want that man!

Bamsi, carry him inside, quickly!

Father!

Helena!

I told you we can't trust the barbarians, Tekfur didn't listen.

He's dead! But this won't end here.

Don't forget, this happened at your inn, Ertuğrul Bey.

Ah!

Giddy up!

Turgut Alp!

Hurry!

-This way! -Come on!

God is mighty!

Brother! Brother Tekfur!

Hold on!

Your daughter is waiting for you.

Hold on, hold on brother Tekfur!

Your bazaar, your inn.

Your guest.

If you can't find that bastard, you'll be the guilty one in the eyes of the emperor.

Don't you know

that they made us suffer greatly ever since I came to your castle, Commander?

This bazaar is home to evil and defamation that you can't stop talking about,

Ertuğrul Bey.

If you can't catch that carrion crow

I'll burn this place down.

I'll find that degenerate eventually.

When I do, whoever is holding his leash

won't be able to find even a grave to hide in.
