RESURRECTION ERTUGRUL
THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION.
How will you take me in?
There is a secret passage that goes to the dungeons. My vizier told me.
We will slip through there without anyone realizing.
Do not let yourself go, son. Be strong.
They will test your will to the limits.
What more can they do to me?
I do not care about myself...
...I wonder what they are doing to that innocent boy.
They might have even killed him.
Look, young man...
...if your body is in this dungeon...
...the thing that awaits you is much more than death itself.
If you know what will happen to us so well...
...you must know those infidels well.
Because I know them so well, I am in this dungeon for 17 years.
How did you bear this for so long?
With love.
The one who lights up the darkness inside you even if your eyes are closed.
Do not stop thinking for even one second.
-Are you a hunter. -I am the hunted this time.
The new home will be a new and joyous life for all of us. Especially for us.
-Does Aleppo have everything? -It has everything.
When we reach there, it will be complete.
We will go and we will wed.
This is my promise to you.
Aykiz?
Let me see?
It is a deep wound.
Thank you.
Aykiz...
...I was presumptuous.
I broke your heart. But believe me, it was not my intention.
When you talked like that about Ertugrul...
Aykiz, there is nothing in my hand except my dreams and hopes.
The only thing that make me go forward is hope.
If I did not have that, I would die right here, right now from disappointment.
You cannot sooth your pain by hurting others, Gokce.
But do not despair so much. My problem is not you.
I thought that as we near Aleppo I would be relieved...
...I would be joyous with seeing Turgut again.
But a shadow is cast over my heart.
It is as if I am getting further away from my sweetheart, instead of nearing him.
Memories pass in front my eyes.
Don’t tire yourself out over nothing, Aykiz.
Over all the hardships and sorrows we go through...
...your love is like a flower that heralds the spring.
Ertugrul’s love made you a poet.
May God bless us all.
I only want to meet Turgut safe and sound, that is enough for me.
Come on.
I am hungry like the wolf, Hatun.
Can’t you hurry up a bit?
I am coming, Bey.
I made the food you like. It has been a while since we ate alone.
-May it be healthy, Gundogdu. -Thank you, Hatun.
May it be healthy.
Hatun, I don’t have time for anything because of the tribe’s issues.
You are right, Gundogdu. You are like Bey of the tribe right now.
It is not easy to carry this load.
May God give you strength.
-Come on, Bismillah. Eat up. -Bismillah.
Do we have permission, Gundogdu?
Gundogdu.
What do you want?
Control yourself, Gundogdu. Don’t do anything you might regret.
You stay away from this, Selcan Hatun. There are things you don’t know.
Yes...
...these are the things that happened, Bey.
But as you have opened your eyes, nothing is important anymore...
...they will all pass away, if God permits.
Now, even if all hell breaks loose, we can put it out with our hearts, Bey.
When we stand together in prayer line, what trouble can hurt us?
You have always been with me, Wild Demir.
Anytime I had a problem, you were on my side.
You are closer than a brother for me.
When you talk about brotherhood, Bey...
...you, I, Kurdoglu...
...Alpsungur.
We were brothers. Yes, we were.
Look, we are still like that. But...
Friendship get valuable with age, Bey. Old friends like you and I.
Did you see Kurdoglu? He could not hit a bear in front of him in the old times.
As he gets older, his eyes started seeing better than a hawk, God bless.
This man is someone who I call Emmi and our Shah calls blood brother.
But what did he do? He tried to kill our Shah.
The matter is not like you think, Gundogdu.
-First you have to listen to me. -What will you tell me? What?
How you panicked when I told you that you secretly went into the tent?
Or how you went to finish off the job in the middle of the night? Which one?
What are you saying, Gundogdu?
I went to save Suleyman Shah from the fury of the rabid son of Baybora.
I saved our Bey at the last second.
Moreover it was you who warned me by telling me the tear in the tent.
It was Bozok who went into the Marquee that night.
I went after him so that he cannot complete the job he left unfinished.
And...
...I just came to congratulate you.
Mother Hayme told me. I wanted to congratulate our new nephew.
The group talked nothing else but this.
Did Suleyman Shah, our father heard it as well?
What did he say?
He was the most happy one. Suleyman Shah was overjoyed with...
...the news of a grandson.
Anyway...
...I said what I came to say. I should not bother you anymore.
Everything happened as you expected, Ertugrul Bey.
Yes, it did.
They become a hunt while being a hunter, with God’s permission.
But the situation is more complex than we thought.
If Sahabettin’s most trusted maid whom he sent for me is a traitor...
...the vizier is stuck in the trap.
If a lion is trapped, even the jackals start to growl.
We have to save him whatever the cost.
I will be gone for a while, Ertugrul Bey.
Is this the right time, Afsin Bey.
Will you be leaving us alone in this fight?
Ertugrul Bey, I know that you wonder who I am, how far I can reach and...
...where my roots are. I will answer all your questions and more in time.
But now, we have to pass through a bridge that is thinner than a hair and...
...sharper than a sword. I ask for one thing and that is for you to trust me.
We fought side by side, Afsin Bey. We have a code of battle friendship between us.
I believe in you.
Tomorrow you should go to the Turkmen carpet man in the market, Ertugrul Bey.
His name is Aykutluk. He will help you in every way he can.
And I will enter through the gates of hell for Turgut and Yigit.
Thank you.
Where did those men come from? How could you not see them, Eftelya?
He didn’t have time to inform anyone.
He must have suspected beforehand and came prepared.
But how could you not notice those two goat herders while walking?
Do you have an explanation for this?
I could not see, Commander Titus, that is why I escaped in the last minute.
Just like you failing against Ertugrul every single time...
...I failed to notice his warriors.
You should understand me very well in this manner as you are much more experienced.
Stop! What are you doing?
We are all like apostles fighting for God’s lamb.
If we don’t trust each other, Jerusalem can only be a distant dream for us!
Moreover, when Sahabettin is killed tomorrow...
...Ertugrul will only be like a sewer rat walking around the streets of Aleppo.
Then, how you take revenge shall be up to your personal taste.
You caused all this!
When will you stop being a stubborn brat? You don’t care for anyone.
Not your father, nor your tribe!
Look at the state of this tribe! It is cracking up!
Winter is coming and we don’t even know where to go! Open your eyes!
Open your eyes!
How will this tribe stand strong, Ertugrul? How?
You are lying, Ertugrul.
The eagle is in the cage. Now it is the wolf’s turn.
Be the sultan of my heart, the mother of my children...
...and my companion till the end.
When I could not even become the sultan of the palace I was born in...
...I cannot be the sultan of your heart.
Great God, Who has created the world and the skies, I turn to you.
My aim is to set on a new road.
You are the Owner of the road and destination.
May You bless us at the end of this road.
My wish is not to be the owner of a throne, a crown or property.
The thing in my heart, on this road I set off with Your name...
...is to glorify Your name. My only aim in swinging my sword is to...
...make my weapon a tool of Your justice. If my heart or mind strays from this...
...lead me to the right path with crooked swords, Dear God.
On this road I set off to glorify Your name don’t let my heart...
...stray to worldly desires. Don’t let my mind be deceived by the devil.
Don’t let me bow down, Dear God. Let me and my progeny serve you in Your cause...
...and be martyrs on this road, Great God.
Hamza.
Yes, Bey?
Take this and load it to the camel.
Look, Gundogdu. Little feet will be wearing these.
With time our son will grow and be a valiant man, just like his father.
Your heart and mine is beating right here now.
Everything we have, all our hopes, our happiness is here now.
He will be our life, our blood, continuity of our progeny.
You will see that all troubles will be left behind.
The new homeland will be a new world for us.
If God permits, Hatun, if God permits.
Let us complete this migration journey first.
Come on, I have some business to attend to, you should get ready as well.
Father?
We ran away for so long...
...we faced so many troubles...
...we went through so much...
But at the end, we could not protect Yigit.
There is nothing we can do except pray, father.
Look at the state I am in.
I cannot even get up.
We will find a way in the end, Halime.
God will surely open up a blessed path in front of us in time.
Ertugrul Bey promised me.
He will not let Yigit and Turgut Alp be captive in enemy hands.
He will not, right, father?
Your wound is very serious. I beg you, don’t distress yourself so much.
There is a Turkmen carpet man around here with the name of Aykutluk.
Do you know his place?
Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up!
Be patient, my girl, Leila, be patient.
Do not throw yourself into those dark wells once again.
May God help you.
-Didn’t she eat? -No.
Today will be a difficult day for all of us.
We do not know how it will end.
No news about our vizier shall reach Leila, do you understand me?
As you wish. We will of course be careful. But, how can something like this be?
How can our great vizier, Sahabettin Tugrul...
...whom no one can suspect his honesty and righteousness be tried?
You are right. We don’t know with what kind of a slander he was imprisoned.
The only thing we can do for him is to pray God. You may leave.
God! God! God!
Welcome, Ertugrul.
Our mad ones have been heralding that you were coming from many streets away.
Are all those madmen, beggars and drunkards your comrades?
When mayors are being bought and sold in the market...
...we work with madmen in this life or death market.
We need to rescue the vizier from the dungeon.
It is very difficult to organize it before a week, my brave.
We need to contact the guards in the dungeon, arrange their schedule.
Moreover he will be tried today.
In the Muslim world the balance of justice is not that crooked yet.
We should not lose hope from God. We should wait for the outcome.
What if it is crooked?
What will we do then?
If betrayal damages the justice, our crooked swords shall put...
...the strayed ones on the right path again.
But, Nasir...
...this is dangerous.
Judge Efendi, you were not thinking of the danger...
...while you were putting pouches of gold under your belt.
You were saying the vizier is as good as dead. Why do you tremble like a leaf now?
And...
...think well, Judge Efendi...
...after the issue of the vizier is handled...
...his highness Melik will need consultants like you beside him.
Can you really do this, Nasir?
Of course.
You are very important for me, your judgeship.
It is not easy to find a man that can be bought so easily in Aleppo.
On behalf of Emirate of Aleppo, Melik El Aziz.
In the name of God Who is The Just, The Avenger...
...The Prevailer and The Most Gracious...
...we shall commence the trial of Emirate of Aleppo Vizier, Sahabettin Tugrul.
The accusations are murder, disobedience of an order...
...abusing the trust given to him and betrayal to the City of Aleppo...
...as well as to the Muslim world.
I am one of the private guards of Sahabettin Tugrul...
...he ordered me to obtain a fast acting lethal poison.
I did as I was ordered.
I saw the people who tried to kill the Kayi envoy with the vizier in the market.
The vizier was giving something to them in a pouch. I am sure that it was gold.
I am a trader, the vizier forced me...
...he used me as a decoy in his business dealings with the Antioch Countship.
Sahabettin Tugrul, you have heard the accusations, what do you say?
I reject all the accusations.
The accusers are false witnesses who are bought.
This is a platform of justice and reality.
With permission from God, these eyes can tell between the truth and lies...
...just like they are black or white. You do not need to worry.
Call in the last witness.
God send you to us, Ummulhayr Abla. We were going to send a message to you.
-We have a problem. -Peace be upon you.
-And peace be upon you. -Welcome, Abla. What happened?
You talked about an important matter.
I do not know whether you heard about what happened to our vizier.
Sahabettin Tugrul is an honest person inside and outside.
He is a valuable statesman Great God has bestowed upon us.
Everyone knows that he had been doing his duties in a competent manner.
He is going through a difficult test...
...may Great God be on his side. -Amen.
Leila has learned about her uncle.
She is devastated since she learned that it was her brother who arrested him.
I worry that she may fall ill once again and turn her back on life.
Poor girl, she was recovering quite well recently, wasn’t she?
Yes. She had recovered with the support of our vizier but...
How can we of help, Abla?
I...
...if it is possible...
...she may be refreshed with a conversation with our Sheikh Efendi.
I thought that she should be refreshed with his light before she turns...
...herself back to darkness. -You thought well.
I shall inform our sheikh and tell you his decision.
May God bless you. I heard that you have a problem as well.
We have visitors in our lodge.
They are also going through difficult tests.
A young girl like Leila is wounded. The doctor did all he could but...
...the wound is getting worse. The cure is with God.
If the palace physician checks her, maybe he can find a remedy.
Of course, I will immediately tell him to visit you tomorrow.
The girl’s condition is an emergency, Abla.
Do you swear on the Great Holy Quran that you shall not be lying in court?
I do, Efendi.
Tell everything as you told me before, my girl...
...and do not be afraid of anyone. What happened in that room that day?
The vizier and I went into the room the killer was in, Efendi.
Was there anyone else who knew that room?
What did you see when you went in?
The man...
...was lying down. He started to tremble.
Foam started coming out of his mouth, he was poisoned.
He died...
...in the arms of my vizier.
You may leave, my girl.
We heard what we need to hear.
The verdict is decided upon...
The physician has completed his examination.
You were wise to inform us. The wound is infected, her condition is not well.
-I did a small surgery. -May God bless you.
But we cannot do much here.
She needs to be looked after in the palace and treated with special medicine.
We can take her to the palace. If her condition requires it, we shall abide.
Physician, can you tell us what to do so that we can treat her here?
I do not want to part with her while she is in this condition.
Her situation is critical, she may not come out of this alive...
...we did whatever can be done here, we shall do the same in the palace.
But only God knows what the outcome will be.
You can be rest assured, Efendi. Your daughter is entrusted in me.
I will personally tend to her.
Ummulhayl Hanim is my sister. She will look after your daughter well...
...in the palace and she was also the governess of El Aziz and his sister.
Sultan Aziz is like her son. If God permits, there'll be no problem...
...you can be rest assured.
