ESTABLISHMENT OSMAN

(Credits)

NO LIVING BEINGS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS SERIES

EPISODE : 169

While we were dealing with the rebellion...

...the infidel caught us off guard.

If you hadn’t arrived, Karesi Bey, many Alps would be martyrs.

And Karadin would have become infidel land.

So, what should we have done, Begüm Hatun?

The infidel army would attack the Turkish homeland.

Should Karesi Bey have turned a blind eye to this?

After all, Karadin is Osman Bey's land.

Your grudge against him is well known.

If it were someone else, I might suspect.

But, I’m not someone else, son.

I am Karesi Bey.

While Osman cooperates with infidels, Karesi Bey sets the game.

Even if he talks like that...

...even if he accuses me of pride at every opportunity...

...our conflict is not about our Turkishness.

Even if it is Osman's property, the homeland soil watered with the blood of martyrs, comes before everything else.

Besides, Osman is younger than me.

Of course, the lands that he couldn't keep, the Beys and Alps that he couldn't protect...

...I will keep them alive.

May you live long, Karesi Bey.

Eyv'Allah.

Where are you going, Gonca?

You stepped over me!

You destroyed me.

Gonca.

You wanted this.

Do I have anywhere to go?

I don’t even have my baby.

From the first day I saw you.

I fell in love with you, Deceitful Woman.

You are the only one for me, my Alâeddin.

My love.

My trial.

My homeland.

You are the only one, Schoolboy.

From now on...

...only for you.

I will live for us.

I will endure everything for you, Schoolboy.

Gonca Hatun?

Gülce.

What are you doing here?

I came out to get some air, what are you doing here?

We were going to do the laundry.

Alright then.

Let me accompany you, come on, sisters.

Come on.

Come on, Gülce, let’s go.

KARADİN CASTLE

Until we reach the Castle...

...no one stopped us.

No defense measures were taken in the Castle, my Bey.

Alps...

...tell me.

An army was said to be marching towards Karadin.

Did you not hear about it?

We heard...

...Osman Bey.

We heard.

We heard and we did what was necessary.

Karesi Bey.

Yes, Karesi Bey.

While we were taking precautions against the Greek rebellion...

...that scoundrel Lucas marched his army towards the Castle, Osman Bey.

May he live long.

Karesi Bey saved us from a great defeat.

So...

...Karesi Bey saved us from a great defeat, huh?

Tell me then...

...in every trap set by the infidels...

...every scheme that we face, there is always Karesi Bey.

Tell me, what heroism did he perform? Let us hear it.

Karesi Bey's ships were at Bursa waters, my Bey.

He diverted Lucas with threats.

We heard that the infidels were headed for Osman Bey’s land, Karadin.

We also heard that due to the rebellion in his lands...

...Osman Bey no longer had the strength to resist.

Even if our younger does not respect us, we thought we should act as elders and protect him.

We thought we would grant him back his land, which was slipping from his hands.

Did we do wrong, Osman?

On the contrary...

...on the contrary...

...you did very well.

May Allah be pleased with you.

So, you protected the lives of our Alps.

So...

...you protected our lands.

In that case...

...Karadin Castle...

...along with all the surrounding lands...

...is my gift to you.

So you gift me Karadin, huh?

We do not leave either good or evil without a response.

Since, you came and acted as an elder for us, may Allah be pleased with you.

Now, as a reward for your efforts...

...this Castle is yours.

Osman.

You don’t want to remain in someone’s debt, is that it?

Just as you are skilled in War, you are also shrewd in politics, but, you know, I have many Castles.

Let Karadin remain with you.

Come, make an alliance with me.

No.

Rejecting a gift is against the rules here.

Karesi Bey...

...my decision is final.

Begüm Hatun.

Quickly withdraw your Alps.

And leave Karadin Castle...

...to Karesi Bey.

Come on, Eyv'Allah.

Come on, Yusuf, to the horses.

Alps...

...come on.

BURSA

Dear Father.

God.

You punished me with the defeat of Karadin for making peace with the Turks.

But, I will never kneel...

...Father.

I will destroy Osman no matter what.

Sofia.

I will stand by your side as you destroy Osman, Lucas.

You?

How?

I thought you...

Like everyone else, you thought I was dead.

But, God...

...allowed me to live.

He brought me back to unleash His wrath.

To end the Turks.

Together...

...we will build a Great Kingdom.

A Great Kingdom watered with Turkish blood.

A Kingdom fed by death...

...hungry for power.

A bloodthirsty...

...ravenous...

...and merciless Kingdom.

Has the time for revenge come?

I have waited so long for this moment.

What have you done?

What is it that I do not know?

My Bey, forgive me, but, I do not understand.

Why did we give away a Castle that we took with such effort?

My Prince is right, my Bey, there is the blood of our martyrs on those lands.

My Bey, forgive me, but, didn’t you always say, “Our land is the guarantee of our freedom”?

Why did we give up our land, my Bey?

Beys, come to your senses.

We are building a State.

We will root ourselves across the world.

Do not forget, the greatest mistake that destroys a State...

...is the heedlessness hidden beneath pride.

Tell me.

Do you not know of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah?

Hazrat Omar (R.A.) and the Companions...

...opposed the Prophet's (PBUH.) decision.

But, what did the pagans demand with this treaty?

Speak, Boran.

They said Muslims would not perform Umrah in Mecca that year, my Bey.

And the Prophet (PBUH.)...

...why did he accept a treaty that seemed like humiliation?

Speak, Alâeddin.

What was seen as anger that day...

...became the key to conquering Mecca, my Bey.

Like this...

...what you consider evil may be good, and what you consider good may be evil. [SURAH BAKARA : AYAT-216]

Of course, of course, Allah will be our guiding light.

But, do you think Karesi Bey will Govern that Castle with justice?

Do you think there will be peace in Karadin?

Osman Bey is right.

Once again, you saw what no one else could, Osman Bey.

By giving Karadin to Karesi Bey, he saved our honour as well.

Now, listen to me carefully.

It is time for revenge.

Once the rebellion in Söğüt is suppressed...

...you will repair every place that has been burned and destroyed.

As you command, my Bey.

Bala.

Trade...

...the trade in Söğüt will be better than ever.

It will even become the heart of trade.

This task is yours.

As you command, my Bey.

Come on then.

Everyone to their duties.

Come on.

KAYI TRIBE

Ladies, where is Gonca? Have you seen her anywhere?

Did you see her? Where is Gonca?

What’s the matter, Sisters?

Why won’t you answer?

Sister-in-law.

What happened?

Fatma.

Where were you?

We were searching for you everywhere, I thought you had left.

I haven’t gone anywhere, Fatma.

Sisters were going to wash the clothes, I helped them.

And I got rid of some stress by helping them.

They’re a bit worn out, but, that’s to be expected, huh?

Next time, you’ll call me as well, won’t you?

Of course, I’ll call you.

Because of the Greek rebellion.

We feared for our children.

Thanks to her, Gonca Hatun gave us strength.

Don’t worry, don’t be afraid.

This rebellion will also end eventually.

We’ve seen many battles, many rebellions.

Those responsible won’t suffer.

It’s always our children who pay the price.

Come on, Sisters.

Come on, Gülce.

My daughter, don’t be sad.

Where were you all this time?

It took me a long time to recover.

I have seen death very closely.

I waited in the midst of darkness.

I promised myself.

I will rise for revenge.

It took a long time to gather my army, which will drown them in their blood.

My soldiers!

As you understand, my desire for revenge on Osman gave me life.

Death became my breath.

I became death itself.

I won’t just kill him.

I will erase everything in this world that belongs to Osman.

All of it.

Sofia.

I’m so happy you’ve returned.

Our partnership...

...will be the bloodiest alliance history has ever seen.

HEADQUARTERS

How can this happen, Bayhan Bey?

How can he give away the Castle we conquered with our swords?

Didn’t we risk our lives to take that Castle?

Surely, Osman Bey knows what he’s doing.

But...

...I can’t make sense of what he’s done.

It must be political wisdom.

Neither wisdom nor politics.

Bayhan Bey.

This path is not good.

Don’t forget...

...the fate of a blind shepherd’s flock is the cliff.

Attention, Osman Bey!

Now, listen to me carefully.

The time has now come to crush this rebellion.

The State...

...sometimes shows its soft face.

But, when the time comes, it knows how to slam its iron fist on the table.

You all...

...will be sharper than a sword...

...and harder than steel.

Alâeddin.

You will go to Yenişehir.

As my Bey commands.

Orhan...

...you will go to Söğüt.

As you command, my Bey.

Gencer Bey, you will defend your lands in Mekece.

As you command, my Bey.

Bayhan Bey...

...you will defend Karacahisar.

As you command, my Bey.

Those who rebel...

...commit evil, or stray from the path, you will kill them.

- As you command, my Bey. - As you command, my Bey.

If anyone begs for mercy or forgiveness...

...I will decide their fate.

Either the State will prevail...

...or the ravens will feast.

- Either the State will prevail... - Either the State will prevail...

- ...or the ravens will feast. - ...or the ravens will feast.

My Bey!

My Bey...

...as you ordered, we carried out operations in Söğüt.

We captured this dog and made him talk.

The rebellion was started by one of Lucas’ scar-faced men.

Arcadeus!

Those who rule with blood...

...will be dealt with by blood.

Arcadeus, huh?

From now on, his every breath...

...will be counted by me.

Boran!

My Bey.

Inform İlbay, I’ll meet him at Karakaya region.

As you command, my Bey.

Now everyone, to your duties!

You don’t understand what’s happening yet, do you?

Because, you’re a Princess, that’s why.

But, don’t worry.

I’ll explain how life works in this tribe, everything.

What do you mean, Hazal Hatun?

I don’t understand.

From the very first day, they stirred the people against you.

Don’t you see?

Who?

Gonca?

Yes.

The Kayı women blame you for the rebellion.

Why? Because, Gonca Hatun fills their heads.

This is how she avenges her child against you.

No.

You don’t know Gonca well.

She wouldn’t do such a thing.

Come on, let’s go.

Holofira, my daughter...

...you don’t know Gonca Hatun either.

Friendship is over.

From now on, you’re co-wives.

Not just co-wives...

From now on, you’re rivals.

My Beys.

My Sisters.

By Osman Bey's command...

...Karadin Castle now belongs to Karesi Bey.

It is true.

It remains Turkish land.

What falls to us now...

...is to extinguish the embers left by the fire of rebellion.

Söğüt suffered great harm in the rebellion.

The first task....

...once the rebellion is quelled...

...will be to heal the wounds in the market.

We will expand the Söğüt market.

- In'Sha Allah. - In'Sha Allah.

This market will bring a new breath to our trade, In'Sha Allah.

- In'Sha Allah. - In'Sha Allah.

When Osman Bey arrives...

...he will announce to whom the market will be given.

NEAR SÖĞÜT

NEAR BURSA

You summoned me, my Bey.

Tell me, where is the lair of this jackal Arcadeus?

He lives in the Arena, my Bey.

He trains Gladiators...

...organizes entertainment...

...eats and sleeps there.

Good then...

...we will kill him in his bed.

My Bey...

...forgive me, but, entering the Arena is not that easy.

There is only one entrance, with countless soldiers everywhere.

I want no excuses.

Neither walls nor steel gates can stop us.

We will strike him where he feels most secure.

As you command, my Bey.

Brother İlbay...

...Arcadeus or whatever he's known as...

...you said he organizes entertainment in the Arena, correct?

He does, and he entertains himself during every free moment.

But, he does not neglect security, his most trusted men guard the gates.

They search everyone entering.

They never allow weapons inside.

Since, we cannot fly in either...

There is no despair.

Have we ever left our words...

...unfulfilled till now, huh? Have we ever failed to keep them?

No matter what, we will enter.

Listen to me carefully now.

Hazal Hatun has not been idle either.

She told Lady Holofira that Gonca incited the people.

So, Hazal has chosen her side, huh.

Let her choose.

The Castle was taken from me, so, Hazal must be quite pleased now.

But, if I am still Begüm...

...I will not let Hazal or Bala be happy.

I will regain the power I lost.

Do I have your permission to enter, Begüm Hatun?

Gonca Hatun.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Osman Bey.

I heard he took Karadin Castle from you.

I wanted to see you.

Osman Bey did what was right.

Now, you tell me.

I heard that the Kayı women...

...are not fond of the new bride.

You could use this to your advantage.

I don't understand.

What do you mean, Begüm Hatun?

The people have already turned their backs on Holofira.

Her Christianity was not enough.

The Greek rebellion also started because of her.

This means...

...that both your and Alâeddin Bey’s path could clear.

Do whatever it takes.

Now, hold on, Hatun.

I understand what you mean.

But, I have no such intention.

Gonca.

I say this only thinking of your future.

If you do not open your eyes...

...you will remain merely a Prince's wife.

We are passing through hard times, Begüm Hatun.

I do not wish for our people to be divided because of us.

With your permission.

With compassion and mercy...

...you aim to be a Bey’s wife, huh.

Whether you want it or not...

...you are now in a battle, Gonca.

Since, the people have reacted to Holofira.

Her Christianity.

And the Greek rebellion, use them to fan the flames.

Keep your eyes on them.

As you command, Begüm Hatun.

The one who will burn most in this fire...

...is you, Bala.

I will take Alâeddin, your first miracle, from you.

SÖĞÜT

Prince Orhan, the monk's murderer, attack, my brothers!

Aykurt, secure all the streets, today, the Greek people and the Turks must not come face to face.

Cover our backs.

Let no one pass.

People!

To prevent harm to your lives...

...and your belongings...

...go to your homes immediately!

Immediately!

Alps!

Stand up!

My Prince, he is not an Alp.

He's not one of us either.

A lowly dog. Oğuz.

Ya Hakk!

They will provoke rebellion.

They're distributing weapons.

What will we do now, my Prince?

Firstly, we will sever the snake's head.

Aykurt, Turahan, come with me, come on.

Merchant Marco.

Traitor Marco.

Dog Marco.

For years in Söğüt.

You drove the people you shared bread with to death, huh.

Look me in the eye.

Orhan.

Now...

...now, you will pay for your crimes, Marco.

Lift him up.

Get up.

Get up, get up.

For everything you've done, you'll face the consequences.

For everything!

Walk!

Lowly dog!

Stop!

Walk!

The Priest's murderer, Prince Orhan!

Walk.

Go down!

Come here.

I'm not the murderer.

The one who provoked you to rebel.

This treacherous dog right here is the murderer.

To incite you! To stir you up...

...they tried every way possible!

Even their own religious brothers!

They didn't hesitate to harm any of them!

My Prince.

This Cross right here...

...was found on the Alp who attacked you!

Oh people!

Lay down your weapons!

End the rebellion!

From now on!

The State is here!

The instigators have been punished.

I swear by my sword, no harm will come to anyone's hair.

But, from now on.

If anyone rebels.

If anyone causes division.

Like this dog here.

They'll face the wrath of my blade.

Let this be known.

BURSA

I'm a servant in the Bursa Palace.

Here's the seal.

These merchants came for the arena show.

Commander Lucas' guests.

Salutations to Commander Lucas' heroic soldiers...

...salutations.

Inform Arcadeus.

If Commander Lucas hears about this, it won't be good for you.

Are you questioning his guests?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

They're just doing their duty.

Ensuring the safety of sacred Bursa, isn't that right?

Of course, that's right.

Isn't that so?

Yes, of course, it is.

Petrus, Commander Lucas must not find out about this, right?

Please forgive us.

On the contrary, on the contrary, on the contrary.

I'll just tell Commander Lucas how we'll entertain them and reward them with the special wines I brought.

You truly deserve it.

You're embarrassing us, Petrus.

Please don’t wait any longer, come in.

Come in, please.

Let’s go, then.

I will know everything, how many rooms there are, how many soldiers there are, and every corner of the roof.

Tonight, we'll attack them from above.

YENİŞEHİR

What happened here?

Come on!

What are you guys doing? Come to your senses!

What is this?!

Open up! Open up! Open up! Open up!

Just stop! Stop!

Get a hold of yourselves, no harm will come to anyone's property or life.

Get the Turks out of this place, come on!

You're brothers, don't do this! What are you doing?

What is happening? What is this disgrace?

Don't do this, I'm saying! Stop! Don't do this!

Who's...

...throwing these flying flames?

Scoundrels.

These are Arcadeus' men.

My Prince.

Lowly dogs!

Where will you run to, huh?

Come here.

I’m here, my Prince.

Lie down!

You’ve not rusted a bit, Baysungur.

You always have my back.

May you live long.

An Alp's weapon doesn’t tarnish in the hands of these dogs, my Prince.

As long as Allah grants life, may it never tarnish, In'Sha Allah.

Eyv'Allah.

Now, you'll speak.

Lift him up.

Come on! Stand up!

Walk! Come on!

You will speak!

Enough, stop!

People, listen to me!

This dog...

...is one of Arcadeus’ men.

Their intention is to pit Turks against Romans.

You are lying!

Lies! Traitor Turk!

Know this well, we did not kill that Priest.

Speak!

Speak, and I’ll spare your miserable life!

Speak!

The Turks didn’t kill him, we did!

- Arcadeus ordered it. - Arcadeus ordered it.

In Osman Bey’s land, your lives and possessions are under our protection.

Everyone is free to practice their faith.

Now, end this rebellion and return to your homes, go on.

- Come on. - Come on!

Get up!

Come on.

Come on, ladies, come on.

I know you will do your best, but, let’s speed it up, alright?

Very well, Bala Hatun.

May it come easy, Bala Hatun.

Thank you, Begüm Hatun.

Your rugs look quite faded.

If we can assist in any way...

Thank you, Begüm Hatun.

If necessary, I’ll let you know.

I will, but...

...if only you showed the same dedication while performing your duty in Karadin Castle...

...as you do to matters that aren’t your concern.

Then, the Castle would still be under your control.

And our trust in you wouldn’t be shaken.

I don’t think I’ve lost Osman Bey’s trust.

He personally witnessed how well I managed Karadin.

Especially, the women I assigned to duty on the borders...

...he praised me himself for that.

The women?

Women from your own tribe, right?

I assigned them to suppress the Karadin rebellion.

Otherwise, that dog Lucas wouldn’t have approached the Castle.

Hold on a moment.

Without my knowledge...

...without proper records or Sister training.

On what grounds did you assign the women to duty?

I fully trust all of them.

Bala Hatun, they are fully trained...

...what’s wrong with that?

You are now under State order, Begüm Hatun.

The State!

What happens when everyone picks up a sword and takes charge?

Chaos ensues, right?

Order collapses.

You’ve failed your duty twice now.

You should know this better than anyone.

Now, your first task is to bring the women here.

They will undergo training.

If I find them suitable, they will be assigned duties.

I won’t tolerate another failure from you.

Know this.

BURSA

We are the real masters of the Empire.

Eat! Drink!

Victory will be ours!

My Bey, come, come.

Come.

My Bey.

My Bey.

These are all the keys.

They will open every door, with Allah's will.

Eyv'Allah, Cerkutay, Eyv'Allah.

Come on, İlbay, open the chests.

Here you go, my Bey.

Brother...

...this is just water.

What if the soldiers outside had stopped and checked the barrels?

What would we have done then?

I poured it into the wine barrels, Boran Bey.

I emptied them, brothers, should I have said so?

Would you have let our weapons touch something forbidden?

Eyv'Allah.

Eyv'Allah, Cerkutay, you did well.

Come on then.

Arcadeus, or whoever he is...

...he doesn’t have much time left to breathe.

Tonight, this ends, let’s go.

KAYI TRIBE

The rebellion has been quelled throughout all our lands.

Praise be to Allah, we have overcome this calamity.

Praise be to Allah, Mother.

Praise be to Allah.

We have stopped it, with Allah's will, Mother.

We silenced those who incited the Romans...

...one by one.

But...

Both Turkish and Roman households have suffered great damage.

It is urgent to repair them quickly.

Expanding Söğüt market will provide a new source of income for all.

And this...

...will help us heal our wounds more swiftly, In'Sha Allah.

In'Sha Allah, Mother.

But...

...to prevent a rebellion from happening again...

...those who rebel should be shown the consequences, Mother.

All the places they burned and destroyed...

...with their own hands...

...they should rebuild, one by one.

Let it be a lesson.

Gonca is right, Mother Bala.

Those who destroy...

...and even those who indirectly caused it...

...should repair it.

But, let the house owner not repeatedly destroy the efforts for the sake of teaching a lesson, otherwise...

...the city won’t recover.

By Allah, my sisters-in-law are right.

Both of them thought very well.

I think we should repair it together.

Indeed.

First, we...

...in this tent...

...we will all unite.

We will heal our wounds together.

Our pain.

Our joy.

We will share, just as we share this bread.

So that...

...our people also unite.

Isn’t that right?

Come on, enjoy your meal.

Damned Turks.

We will feast while you perish in misery.

I will kill you all.

I will make you beg before you die.

You’ll have to step over my corpse first.

But...

...you will take your last breath.

Osman.

Yes, Osman.

You will never leave here alive.

Look at me.

You invaded my land.

You incited my people.

Now...

...now, it’s time to settle the score.

I will hang you in my arena.

So, that's how it is.

Let’s see.

Playing with the wolf...

...ends in blood.

KARADİN CASTLE

Karadin...

...will be Osman’s dark destiny, and no one will remain unaware of it.

This news will echo everywhere, my Bey, but, I’m curious.

Why did Osman give Karadin to you, my Bey?

Because, his reputation is ruined.

His power is broken.

In governance, there is no room for doubt.

He might want to save it, but...

...it’s a futile effort.

What shall we do about the tax, my Bey?

Osman takes one-third tax from our people.

Has Osman gone mad?

That’s impossible.

First, Karadin’s treasury will be filled.

Double the taxes.

As you command, my Bey.

My Bey.

There is important news, my Bey.

What is it that’s so important?

Osman Bey...

...Osman Bey has done it again, my Bey.

He suppressed the rebellion...

...and is now developing the marketplace in Söğüt...

...to profit from the trade route extending from China to Rome.

This marketplace will bring Osman’s lands a fortune.

He will grow stronger...

...his Beys and people will cling tightly to him.

What should we do, my Bey?

We will prevent Osman from growing stronger alone.

We will take our share from the trade in Söğüt’s marketplace.

BURSA

Arcadeus...

...who did this?

Who?

Who dared to kill my Commander...

...in my arena?

How did they infiltrate you?

How did they infiltrate you?

How?

Osman.

Osman.

I will kill you.

This'll be his last struggle, you'll see.

Soon...

...Osman will be hanged in his place.

Commander Lucas.

What is it?

Osman Bey has suppressed the rebellions.

Worse yet, he decided to revive Söğüt's marketplace.

He will expand the market and profit from the trade.

How?

How?

How does he suppress the uprisings, how?

He means to expand the market.

How delightful.

I say we should contribute to the trade Osman will establish.

What do you say?

What’s on your mind, Sofia?

Send word to Karesi Bey, Lucas.

I need to meet with him.

KAYI TRIBE

Peace be upon you.

- And upon you be peace. - And upon you be peace.

Have the tasks been completed?

As you commanded, my Bey, all uprisings in our lands have been suppressed, praise be to Allah.

Eyv'Allah.

May you always prosper, may you always prosper.

Osman Bey.

You gave Karadin, for which my child gave his life, to Karesi Bey.

Now...

...does that mean that my child died in vain for your cause?

Mother.

SURAH AL-BAQARAH : AYAT-154

"Do not say of those slain in the path of Allah, 'They are dead.'"

"Rather, they are alive." SURAH AL-BAQARAH : AYAT-154

Your child is a martyr, Mother.

Not only for Karadin Castle.

But, for the State.

For the glory of the religion of Islam...

...your child gave his life.

But, his place...

...is by our glorious Prophet (PBUH.).

Mother.

Tell me, Mother.

If I came to you and said, “Mother, I am going to battle, but...

...I have no man to wield a sword,” what would you say to me?

I would take up arms...

...and come with you.

May you live long.

Oh people!

Tell me, what would you do?

- We're coming with you, my Bey! - We're coming with you, my Bey!

Eyv'Allah, Eyv'Allah, Eyv'Allah.

Since, you trust me...

...since, you honour me, know this as well...

...the reason I gave Karadin Castle to Karesi Bey...

...is for this cause.

Like your child who gave his life...

...it is for the prosperity of the State.

Eyv'Allah, my Bey.

Many tried to sow discord in our lands.

They incited the non-Muslims to rebellion.

But, never...

...never did they go unpunished.

We dealt with their leaders...

...that dog Lucas’ pawn...

...Arcadeus, we killed him in his den and hung him in their squares.

- May you live long, my Bey. - May you live long, my Bey.

With my Beys and Warriors, we suppressed these uprisings.

Those who caused discord lost their heads.

Both friend and foe saw that with discord...

...with treachery, we cannot be brought down.

Either the State prevails...

...or the ravens will feast.

- Either the State prevails or the ravens will feast! - Either the state prevails or the ravens will feast!

- Either the State prevails or the ravens will feast! - Either the State prevails or the ravens will feast!

MEKECE CASTLE

This rebellion most harmed the West and the East of Mekece.

First, those regions will be rebuilt.

Then, the people displaced to the North will be resettled one by one.

The old order will be reinstated as it was.

- As you command, my Bey! - As you command, my Bey!

Come on, my Lions, come on, my Warriors.

Someone's coming!

Let them come.

Along the way, I saw the traces of this Greek rebellion, and my heart couldn’t bear it.

As a Greek...

...I feel ashamed.

As both an apology and a gesture of friendship, I bring you this gift.

Bring the gold.

Who are you, Hatun?

Do you have permission to pass through my lands?

My merchant license.

My name is Maria.

I am a merchant.

I oversee a great trade network from Constantinople to China.

Your reason for coming is understood.

You heard of the market Osman Bey will establish in Söğüt, huh?

I heard of it, but, not for the market.

I want to trade directly with you.

I will pay three times the value...

...of all your goods.

Why me, when the market is there?

The market means intermediaries, which slows me down.

I...

...deal directly with the owner.

Both I and the owner profit greatly.

Come on in then.

Let’s discuss your proposal in detail.

And let us host you as our guest, please, come in.

Bring in the items Lady Maria has brought.

Note how many entrances, how many men, how many guards the Castle has.

Memorize everything.

That is the greatest weakness in the Castle.

Don't worry at all.

Here you go.

I admire your endless ambition, Lucas.

I prevented you from taking the Castle, but, you still want to talk.

Politics can make two friends into enemies.

And it can make two enemies into allies, Karesi Bey.

Yes, you deceived me.

But, being enemies with you would cost me more right now.

What would being allies bring me?

Everything.

Osman will expand his trade.

This will benefit neither you nor me.

Still, I am curious about where you're headed with this.

I want you to give a ship to Osman.

What are you saying, madman?

Have you lost your mind?

You heard me, Karesi Bey, you'll give him a ship.

You'll ensure he can transport his goods overseas.

This offer will greatly please him.

And then?

Then, I will blow up that ship.

Boom...

...all his goods will sink to the bottom of the sea.

You truly have lost your mind.

My ship will not sink.

The cost will be very high.

Whatever the cost...

...I will pay it in full, Karesi Bey.

Just give the ship.

Are you okay?

How will this plan work?

Oh people!

Two men have stepped forward on the ground...

...both equally brave.

Strength is needed for this game, obedience is required for every command.

The rope will be pulled...

...and the stronger side will pull the weaker side to the ground.

May Allah give strength to your arms.

Come on, in the name of Allah.

Come on, my Saruca, knock them to the ground.

Come on, my lion-hearted son.

Don't worry, Mother.

I will bring them to the ground.

We’ll see who takes whom down.

I'll side with Uncle Turahan.

He’s stronger than all of you.

Thank you, Gazi.

Don't mention it, Gazi.

I’ll never hesitate, Sergeant Aykurt.

I always make my stance clear.

In fact, I’ll even bet six gold coins on Uncle Turahan’s side.

What’s that?

Well done.

Are you trying to become a gambler now?

I’ll catch up to you, and where did you find that money?

Quickly, tell me.

Ülgen Hatun.

I gave it to him.

To buy fabric for making robes.

Come on.

May your arms be strong.

Ya Allah.

Ya Allah.

- Come on. - Ya Allah!

Come on, my Saruca, pull harder!

- Pull! - Pull!

Come on!

Come on, Uncle Turahan! Stronger, Uncle Turahan, come on, come on, Uncle Turahan!

Come on!

- Ya Allah! - Come on!

Come on, Alps!

- Come on! Uncle Turahan! - Sergeant Aykurt!

Uncle Turahan!

Sergeant Aykurt!

Uncle Turahan, come on, push!

Come on, Sergeant Aykurt!

Come on, come on, Ya Allah!

Osman.

I prepared food for you, please, my Bey.

Thank you, my Bala.

Thank you, my Bala.

Thank you.

What is it?

What are those noises? Where do they come from?

They said let this gloomy air disperse, let the people cheer up.

I suggested it, my Bey, so the Alps could enjoy themselves.

You thought well, you thought well, my Bala.

The people's state will surely improve.

But, what about the brides?

What will happen to them?

Gonca has immersed herself in her work to forget her pain, my Bey.

She is doing well.

Holofira, as the new bride, is trying to adjust to the tribe.

With you by her side.

It won’t be too hard, my rosy-faced one.

I know every side of you, but, there’s one thing I don’t know.

I don’t know how you’ll be as a Mother-in-law of Kayı, just don’t make my brides suffer.

I’m telling you now.

Look at that.

Why are you talking like you don’t know me?

How could you, Osman?

I know you very well, I know you very well.

I know you very well.

Huh.

Oh, come on now.

My Bala.

Now, you will guide them.

As they say...

...a man is the pillar of the house, while a woman...

...is its walls.

Now, they will also...

...they will also support our children.

That's how it is.

The way I raised my children, I will raise them the same way, Osman.

Don't you worry.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Where are you going?

I need to train the Sisters.

If you'd like, after you finish your meal, we can inspect together, huh?

Alright then, we'll go together.

Fine.

Come on!

Come on, Uncle Turahan.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, almost there.

Come on, Saruca!

Oh no, my son is heading into the fire.

He's going to embarrass us.

My Bey, I can't take it anymore.

I'm coming, Saruca! My son, I'm coming, Saruca!

Pull!

Cheating! They're cheating! Hazal Hatun is cheating!

Mother, Mother, what are you doing, Mother?

Ya Allah!

Come on, Alps! Come on, Alps!

Did you see, Ayşe? Look, my Uncle Turahan won.

The winner is...

...Yusuf Bey, Turahan, and their Alps!

- Hey Maa'Sha Allah, Yusuf Bey! - Hey Maa'Sha Allah!

Don't be sad, son, it was unfair, but, you fought very well.

You're my champ.

You embarrassed yourself and us.

Don't mind your Father.

My Bey.

Do you see, Fatma Hatun?

The weak lost.

We won.

Both sides fought well, but, someone had to win, of course.

Are you okay, Saruca?

Come on, Sisters!

Almost all of our sisters have gone through training, Osman Bey.

Bala Hatun.

Thank you.

I personally trained my women.

I learned this method from a Warrior from the land of China.

China, huh?

Begüm Hatun...

...you learned it wrong.

They learned it from our ancestors, the Göktürks.

Bala, do you see that?

They claim everything as their own.

Ours is better, though.

If you'd like, I can teach your women too, Bala Hatun.

There’s no need, Begüm Hatun.

In that case, please come...

...if there's a need or not, let's find out together.

Please, Begüm Hatun.

Come on, Begüm Hatun, is this all your strength?

Not in front of Osman Bey.

A woman dropping her weapon is not acceptable, but...

Until now...

...no one has made me drop my weapon, Begüm Hatun.

I told you, Begüm Hatun.

Your recklessness will cost you your life someday.

Be more cautious.

Maa'Sha Allah, my Bala.

Maa'Sha Allah.

You held your ground well, Begüm Hatun.

But, my Sisters' training is thorough.

There’s no need for another method.

Keep that in mind.

Kısmet.

I'm not like others, Bala.

I'm patient.

Slowly but surely...

...I'll achieve my goals.

These are really delicious, Bayhan Bey, you must've spent a lot of gold, where did you get them?

Don’t touch.

Eating too much will upset your stomach.

Now, leave that aside.

You said you made an important deal.

What is it?

Oh, what a deal it is.

What Begüm Hatun earns in a week at the market...

...I’ll earn in one go.

How so?

Maria, a Greek woman, a merchant.

She has a vast trade network.

She supplies goods to caravans, she never deals with the market.

She doesn’t want to waste money on intermediaries.

Smart woman.

Smart...

...smart, but...

...not just smart, Bayhan Bey.

Quite beautiful.

Beautiful?

What kind of woman is she?

Does she have a husband?

Why does it concern you, Bayhan Bey? Why do you ask?

Why do you care?

Well, I mean, I’m just asking.

Maybe we might do business together someday.

I mean, the woman...

...she’s both smart, beautiful, she must have a husband.

Or maybe not, I don’t know.

I can’t tell.

I don’t even know the woman.

What kind of woman is she, huh?

Woman.

Gencer Bey?

Yes?

What woman?

Here, we talk trade with Gencer Bey.

Isn’t that right, Gencer Bey?

That's right.

Bala, I told you, she is weak, but, you’ve left her worse than dead.

Well, she’s not dead, my Bey.

She should be thankful.

Yesterday, she was saying...

...you’ve spoken highly of the ones patrolling the borders.

She said so.

I praised her because she did her duty well.

Bala...

...she dressed all the Sisters.

They came from all directions.

It was smart.

But, the women weren't from the Sisters.

She did something out of order.

So, I gave her a lesson.

Eyv'Allah, Eyv'Allah.

If you’ve taught her the lesson, it’s settled then.

Now, tell me...

...we call her weak...

...yet we took the Castle.

She’s an ambitious woman.

With the bitterness of her failure...

...she might now easily make a mistake.

She showed weakness at the Castle.

But, what about trade, huh?

Söğüt’s trade.

Now, the Söğüt marketplace needs to prosper, it needs to be revived.

What do you think?

Do you think she can do it?

Begüm...

...she will cling to this duty out of the ambition of her failure.

But, I would like to oversee her myself, my Bey.

Of course, of course.

Then, let’s do it this way.

You will be the one to inform her of the duty.

My Bey, Karesi Bey is approaching.

Let him in.

Peace be upon you.

And upon you be peace.

Karesi Bey.

Please, come in.

Let’s step into the tent and talk there.

Your trade will vanish like a seed in the belly of a camel, Osman!

Gonca Hatun.

Do you know why we’ve been summoned?

My Mother, will explain to whom she'll entrust the protection of Söğüt, Begüm Hatun.

May it come easy.

From now on...

...the protection of Söğüt market...

...will be with Begüm Hatun.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Now then, everyone back to work.

Come here, Begüm Hatun.

The duty is yours now.

Since, you failed to manage the Castle...

...you feel ashamed.

I know.

But, by not repeating the same mistake...

...you will fulfill...

...your market duties admirably....

...I know that too.

You can be certain, Bala Hatun.

Come in, Karesi Bey, come in.

Eyv'Allah.

I’m not here to sit.

It’s been quite some time since yesterday.

And I...

...I wondered, why hasn’t Karesi Bey shown up?

Know this, Osman...

...Karesi Bey doesn’t appear before anyone without reason.

What doubt is there about that?

How's the situation in Karadin...

...that we gifted you? Tell me.

To deny our greatness.

To rest our heads in the shade.

The Karadin you gifted me...

...it is good...

...Osman Bey.

It is in good condition.

Now, tell me, what is the real reason that brought you to me?

I heard that...

...you want to make Söğüt the biggest market in the region.

When I wanted to make my mark in black trade, you destroyed the bridge.

You broke my pact with Byzantium.

I say this...

...even if we can't form an alliance...

...let us join hands in trade.

Do you wish to lead caravans to Söğüt?

Exactly.

But, that's not enough.

To sell my goods...

...I also want a stall in the Söğüt market.

Of course, you'll get your share, Osman.

If you agree to this pact.

I will make one of my ships...

...its crew...

...and its captain at your service.

Not only will your goods sell in Söğüt's market...

...but, even at the far corners of the world.

Is that what you say?

Our armies couldn't unite.

We couldn't form an alliance.

Then, let us unite in trade.

In the end, you accepted the hand I extended, Osman.

You've made the right decision.

Our true enemy is the infidel.

With this trade union, we shall leave Byzantium penniless, In'Sha Allah.

Now, gather all your goods in three days.

We'll send them to the locations where I have trade agreements...

...using the ship now at your disposal.

Eyv'Allah.

Eyv'Allah.

Boran.

My Bey.

Inform Söğüt...

...the tribes...

...Karacahisar, and Mekece.

Spread the word to all the people.

Tell everyone to gather their goods.

As you command, my Bey.

KAYI TRIBE

Do I have your permission, my Bey?

Come in, Orhan.

My Bey...

...the caravan you ordered, my Bey, is on its way.

We are also ready to depart.

Eyv'Allah, son.

Eyv'Allah.

Now, tell me, what's on your mind?

My Bey, questioning your decision is never my place.

But, I worry.

What if Karesi...

...sets a trap again, my Bey?

Look.

I know your concern well.

Maybe, Karesi Bey will set a trap.

But...

...do you know what truly matters?

This.

It is the art of politics.

I made this...

...this agreement...

...for the people.

What do you mean, my Bey?

Before the people and the Beys...

...we took a step towards Karesi Bey.

We said...

...it is not us...

...who disrupt the order and unity.

So, you're saying, my Bey...

...if Karesi Bey makes a mistake...

...the people and the Beys will punish him, right?

Exactly.

Let him set traps, let him do as he wishes.

Remember...

...Allah is the best of planners.

Oh, by the way.

You keep this up.

Never let go of suspicion.

A State...

...cannot survive without doubt.

Eyv'Allah, my Bey.

3 DAYS LATER

What a pity.

Such a pity, such a waste.

I built this ship with my own hands.

If only its profits were less than its value.

I wouldn't part with it.

Well.

Sancar.

Yes, my Bey?

Is everything ready?

It is, my Bey.

Good.

We will kill two birds with one stone.

Osman.

A simple man like you.

How did you ever think you could defeat me?

Soon, all your goods will become food for the fishes.

Your dreams will sink to the bottom of the sea.

My Bey.

Osman Bey is approaching.

Peace be upon you.

And upon you be peace.

Welcome, Osman Bey.

Welcome.

Thank you, Karesi Bey.

You're welcome as well...

...son.

Well?

My Prince Alâeddin said the rest of the goods were loaded onto the ship.

Do you say the ship is now ready to set sail, huh?

It's ready, indeed.

It awaits your signal to set sail.

May this ship, a sign of our agreement, sail with you.

You seem to have a lot of goods ready for sale, Osman Bey.

This is my largest ship.

All your goods fit only on this one.

I don’t like small-scale trade.

If we're to throw a stone...

...then, let it be worth the strain on our arms.

Eyv'Allah.

Let it be worth it, indeed.

Come on then.

Give the signal, Osman Bey.

In the name of Allah.

Just as those sails fill with wind, our treasury will overflow.

How is this possible?

Karesi Bey! What’s the meaning of this?

This is it.

Victory is mine.

It always has been.

What kind of situation is this?

All our goods.

We loaded everything onto the ship.

What is this, huh?

All this merchandise, all this effort, wasted.

If your goods are gone...

...then, my ship has also sunk, Osman.

That doesn't concern me.

You will pay for this.

I won't pay for anything, Osman.

I will demand accountability.

Now, look at me.

Then...

...whoever is responsible for this...

...you will bring them to me.

Alright.

Come on, Sancar.

Come on.

Let’s see what spoils Osman has left for us.

Let’s see, my Bey, let us see.

You will lose everything, Osman.

You will lose everything.

I will not sleep until I destroy you, Osman.

We will throw a grand celebration when we return...

...Hristo.

Scoundrel.

Ladies, may it come easy.

Thanks to you, the caravans set out swiftly.

May your hands be blessed.

Take it easy, sisters.

- Thank you, Gonca Hatun. - Welcome.

The threads for the new carpets have arrived.

Come on, let’s line them up together and get started, shall we?

As they say...

...let’s adorn our carpets with vibrant colors.

Come on, come on, come on, please.

Holofira, my daughter.

Do you still not trust me?

I told you, they will incite people against you.

Why would they do such a thing?

Why wouldn’t they?

You should think about your husband more.

You must mend your relationship with the people as soon as possible.

It’s hard with Gonca around, though.

Do you know her Mother, Saadet?

Oh, I saw her once.

Oh, dear, oh dear.

I was terrified.

She’s just like her Mother.

You don’t want animosity, but, because of you...

...they might become enemies of Orhan Bey.

No.

I won’t allow them to harm Orhan.

Look, how they're having fun.

Sisters...

...put everything aside and listen to me.

Why did you treat Holofira like that just now?

It doesn’t come from within us, Gonca Hatun, she’s not one of us.

She’s a Christian, after all, and the rebellion happened because of her.

Don’t do this, sisters.

Holofira...

Gonca!

You mentioned Holofira.

What were you going to say about me?

I was about to tell the sisters...

You...

...said the friendship was over.

I agreed.

You said it hurts.

But, this is too much, Gonca.

I don't understand.

What have I done to you?

Are you going to deny it now?

Shame on you.

I never really knew you.

Holofira!

Watch your words carefully.

What have I done to you?

You, you accused me unfairly.

I said nothing.

But I understood your intentions, Gonca.

Gonca.

Holofira.

Come to the tent.

Here.

Osman’s goods.

Osman lost both his reputation...

...and his belongings.

This will strike both his treasury...

...and his people's trust in him, my Bey.

Then, I will be the branch they hold onto.

Me.

They think the chests sank, but, they'll never figure out...

...that we swapped them and took the goods, my Bey.

A real Bey kills two birds with one stone, Sancar.

Load these goods onto ships after nightfall.

As you command, my Bey.

Now, open the chests.

Let's see how rich Osman has made me.

My Bey, there are only rocks in these chests, my Bey!

How?

Please say something, my Bey. Where are the goods?

Osman!

Dark Osman!

He figured it all out!

He figured it all out!

My Bey.

My Bey.

My Bey.

Yes, Cerkutay?

Tell me.

My Bey.

I would have given anything to see the face of that Karesi Bey when he opened the chests.

You should have let Cerkutay sneak inside, lie in a corner, and watch his reaction.

Let me take this heavy load of trade goods to the Great Karesi Bey.

He won't be able to forget this lesson for a lifetime.

May our brother Baysungur live long, my Bey.

He did well.

Indeed, indeed.

You were right, my Bey.

Karesi Bey is collaborating with Lucas the dog.

Their plan was to sink our ship along with the goods.

Are you certain, Baysungur?

I'm sure, my Bey.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Lucas the dog's men gave the flying flames to Karesi Bey's Alps.

And the Alps secretly placed the flying flames on our ship.

Baysungur...

...then, you've achieved something great, huh.

Now, let’s see...

...whose goods explode and whose ship sinks.

Baysungur saved our State from a major loss.

May he live long, my brave one, may he live long, may he live long.

My Bey, Alâeddin must have moved the collected goods to a safe place by now.

No, let the goods stay put for a while longer.

When the time comes, we’ll organize a caravan.

Now...

...let’s see.

What Baysungur will learn from Lucas.

That’s what matters.

Come on then.

Karesi Bey, Karesi Bey.

The goods will stay here for a while longer.

Make sure no one gets close, keep watch everywhere, Turahan.

The Alps are in their positions, my Bey.

Good, good, Eyv'Allah.

Come on then, we're heading back to the tribe.

Prepare yourselves.

What schemes are you plotting now, snake?

Sofia?

How could you...? How? You devil...

I am not the devil, I am your death.

I have killed all of your spies.

I have dismantled your entire intelligence network one by one.

In Bursa.

In Nicaea.

In all of our cities.

I killed all of your spies...

...carrying the pigeon with a marked tail.

You are...

...you are lying.

My brothers.

My brothers.

Now...

...just like all of them...

...you will perish too.

Only Allah knows that.

All of you will fall one by one before my sword.

I will rip your hearts out.

Surely, a brave one will rise against those who side with the Devil.

Come on.

Come on.

It will not be so easy.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Take him and send him to Osman.

Take him!

Let him draw his last breath by his side.

All your spies are dead, Osman.

I have hurt you so much that conquest has become a burden for you.

KAYI TRIBE

Tell me, what's happening?

What is happening that you're fighting before the people?

By Allah, I don’t know, Mother, you must ask Holofira.

She is the one causing trouble for no reason.

You don’t know, huh? Are you lying now too, Gonca?

Woman.

Calm yourself.

Since, I came to this tribe, you have incited people against me.

What?

What does that mean, my daughter?

Mother.

The people have turned against me.

Just because I am Christian.

They blame me for the Greek revolt too.

And because Gonca is angry with me...

...she is filling people with hatred against me.

Holofira!

Watch your tongue.

Is it true, Gonca?

Mother.

Would you believe such words?

I wouldn’t have believed it either.

But, I saw it.

You too...

...inherited this vile nature from your Mother.

Holofira.

Mother.

Do you think this way too?

No.

There is clearly a mistake.

Listen to me carefully.

Holofira!

I will handle the matter with the people.

But...

...I do not want another incident like today.

Compose yourselves.

You are the brides of Kayı.

The people are watching you.

Not just the people.

But, the enemies who wish to destroy us.

They will first come for you.

My sons are the wings of this State.

And you are the support for those wings.

From now on, act accordingly.

I will not tolerate any more mistakes from you.

Those who wish to harm this State will first try to clip its wings.

But, as long as I live, I will never allow that.

How?

How?

How?

How did he find out?

Where are Osman’s goods?

Osman Bey sent crates filled with hay and stones.

We do not know where he stored the goods.

Osman!

Are you venting your anger, Lucas?

Osman emptied all the goods, all of them.

Karesi...

...we gave gold to Karesi for nothing.

I swear, he will pay for what he made me endure with his blood.

With his blood.

Calm down.

We are the stronger ones.

Is this small loss worth the destruction of Osman?

I have sent him a gift he won’t forget.

It must be reaching him by now.

What?

I cut Osman’s lifeline.

I destroyed his intelligence network.

A Bey without eyes and ears anywhere.

What use is he anymore?

You...

...you...

...are a genius, Sofia.

- Welcome, my Bey. - May Allah never let us be without you, my Bey.

Osman Bey.

Did the ship carrying our goods set sail safely, my Bey?

As soon as it departed, they blasted it with flying flames and sank the ship.

What? The ship sank?

All our hard work is wasted.

Who committed this treachery, Osman Bey?

The same people who have committed treachery against us until now.

But, we learned about the ambush they set up beforehand...

...and took all necessary precautions.

Rest assured, all the goods are safe.

What sank to the bottom of the sea...

...was their audacity, not our goods.

Long live, my Bey.

- Long live Osman Bey. - Long live Osman Bey.

Is that Baysungur?

Baysungur arrived injured.

Let me go.

Let me go, I'll go to my Bey!

- Let me go, let me go! I must see my Bey. - Who did this to you?! Baysungur!

Baysungur, my Bey!

Baysungur.

Baysungur!

Baysungur!

Baysungur!

Baysungur!

- Brother. - Brother.

Baysungur!

Come on!

Come on, my valiant, come, what is this?

Baysungur.

Baysungur.

Baysungur.

Baysungur.

Who did this, huh?

My valiant, tell me, who did this?

What is this state?

My time...

...has come, my Bey.

Don't say that, don't say that, Baysungur.

Brother, don't, brother, don't.

No, no, no, no, you won't go.

You'll be fine, my brother, you'll be fine.

Baysungur, my Lion brother.

No! Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Come on, let's take him to the infirmary.

Alps!

Sons.

Help him out.

Baysungur.

Hang on.

I'm walking towards Haqq (The Truth), my Bey.

My Bey.

The chest, my Bey.

The chest.

- Hang on, hang on! - Baysungur!

They martyred our...

...spies, my Bey.

They martyred them.

May our state....

...live long.

In my path...

...in my path, may a thousand Baysungurs...

...be sacrificed.

Who did this?

Who did this?

Was it Lucas? Karesi Bey?

Tell me...

...who did this to you?

Who did this to you?

So...

So...

Tell me!

Who did this?!

I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah...

Don't, brother, don't.

...and I bear witness that Muhammad (PBUH.) is His servant...

...and Messenger.

Baysungur.

Oh, my Lion brother.

Baysungur.

Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return.

My valiant.

Don't worry.

I will avenge you.

I swear.

Whoever did this to you.

I will make them regret being born.

I'll kill them all.

All of them!
