RESURRECTION ERTUGRUL
THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION.
You no longer have a brother.
Yigit!
I will take you out of here, my Shahzade.
Now, take me to your father.
Enough!
That’s enough, I said!
Take it, daughter.
Drink it, drink it, daughter.
I have obviously cut you some slack, Selcan.
From now on, fear me.
No mercy for the merciless!
My Oghuz Beys, straight as a die!
We are very glad to have you here.
I have brought you the greetings and the prayers of El Aziz, the Ameer of Aleppo.
Our magnate, who welcomes you with open arms...
...despite all the hardships and the opposition of the Bedouin tribes...
...expects you to be respectful, convivial, and loyal all the time.
Thank you, Commander Nasir.
But the Bayats, the Dodurgas, the Alkaevlis, the Dogers...
...and we, the Beydilis...
...are from the Bozok branch of the Oghuz tribe.
We are the branches of a large family.
The big mountains are not enough for our herds and we do not fit through them.
Although we are dispersed around, we are one, thank God.
Excuse our curiosity...
...we would like to know two things, immediately.
Why hasn’t His Highness The Ameer,
who invited so many Beys, made it to the scene?
Why hasn't he honored his guests...
...even though he invited so many Beys here on this cold winter day?
His Highness The Ameer couldn't leave Aleppo because of a good cause.
He is getting married to Halime, the daughter of the Seljuk Shahzade Numan.
You have become so beautiful!
Where is your father, the Shahzade?
He is out having important meetings to subvert the Seljuk State Your Highness.
Yes, please.
Estagfurullah, Estagfurullah, Estagfurullah, e'l-azim el-kerim.
La ilahe illallah Muhammeden resullulah.
The first issue we understand.
Not only is His Highness The Ameer determined to play with fire...
...but also to enter the nuptial chamber with fire, obviously.
Korkut Bey, so you say, whoever is entering the nuptial chamber...
...should also be here to eat dinner.
Let's proceed with the second issue.
Why isn’t the worldly-wise Bey of the Kayi Tribe, Suleyman Shah...
...here with us?
Moreover, we heard that you have given them land right beside Aleppo.
Suleyman Shah is not with us because not only has he not kept his promises...
...but he has collaborated with the infidel Crusaders.
Liar!
Ertugrul!
I, Ertugrul, son of Suleyman Shah from the Kayi Tribe!
This man is a dishonored scoundrel.
He is casting aspersions upon us!
His only aim...
...is to make way to the Crusaders by making brothers fight among each other!
How did you get here?
From whom did you receive word?
Malik Aziz, son of Zahir, do you take Halime, daughter of Numan...
...to be your wife?
-I do. -Do you?
I do.
Halime, daughter of Numan, do you take Malik Aziz, son of Malik Zahir...
...to be your husband, in return for the two towns of Aleppo, the vineyards...
...and the souk of Aleppo as dowry?
Glad to see you again, Shahzade. Thank God.
Thank you, Afsin bey.
Yigit, I have some things to talk about with Afsin Bey.
Aren't you going to Halime Sultan's wedding, my Shahzade?
I will be there shortly, Afsin Bey.
I would rather...
...die a thousand times than be your wife.
Halime?
Halime? Halime?
I am listening to you, my Shahzade.
I have allied with El Aziz as a Seljuk Shahzade.
From now on, I am going to struggle to get my share...
....on the Seljuk State.
If you do, the Seljuk State would fall apart.
The blood of brothers killing each other would dirty the swords, my Shahzade.
I have been living with the fear of losing my children for years, Afsin.
Now it is their turn to fear.
My decision is clear.
It is your decision, Shahzade.
I would like to have you on my side as well, Afsin.
Let us make the Seljuk State rise again, together.
If you work with me, I will endow you with anything you want from the state.
You have also been running away like a deranged man for years.
I would be grateful, my Shahzade.
Is there anything you want from me?
I want you to deliver a message to all the Turkish tribes.
I will provide a fortune to win their hearts.
How are we going to find that “fortune”, my Shahzade?
El Aziz will provide all the support he can.
You shall take action now.
I will send you a message.
You can find me in the Turkmen carpet shop in the Aleppo souk, my Shahzade.
May you live long!
You, the courageous Beys of the Oghuz tribe!
Are you going to rely on the words of this villain or El Aziz the Ameer of Aleppo?
This is all I have to say, noble Beys of the Oghuz Tribe!
The ones, who infiltrated our nomad group, who are...
...willing to transmit the plague to our people...
...and cause a fit among the Islam world...
...and are willing to prevent us from praying in Jerusalem...
...are now trying to subvert the Seljuk State...
...by setting the Oghuzs against each other.
This is such betrayal that it is beyond comprehension for a man of honor.
The most evident example of it is standing right before you.
This human piece of garbage...
...to whom Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub's grandsons commended their armies...
...is standing right before you as the Crusaders' bastard.
The ones who believe Ertugrul are mistaken and misguided.
Those who resort to him will pay a heavy price.
Hey you the son of a bastard!
Are we supposed to believe the son of Suleyman Shah...
...or someone as evil and nondescript as you?
Why should we believe the things you say with that inauspicious face of yours?
I see that you have set a trap for me, together with your uncle Korkut.
From now on...
...the Kizil Kekelis are the enemies of the Ayyubids!
Those who betray the Ameer of Aleppo El Aziz...
...shall not leave here alive!
Move!
If he is the leader of the soldiers who you trust the most...
...you'd better replace them with donkeys, Nasir!
Brother!
I cannot let her do this to me!
Your Highness, stop, for God's sake!
Don't do anything that you will regret later!
What are you doing here, Halime?
You were supposed to go to the hunting lodge.
This matter is finished, father.
There is no wedding!
What are you saying, Halime?
If you are going to carry on with that treachery...
...you will not be able to abuse me, father.
Halime, what have you done?
Shame on you!
You promised me!
I have fulfilled every request you made.
I have given you a dowry no woman would ever receive.
For what?
For a little hope!
For the hope that Halime Sultan might...
...love me one day, if she pleased.
But what did she do?
She humiliated me in front of everybody!
She degraded me!
She trashed the Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub's lineage!
For what?
For that goat shepherd named Ertugrul!
-Brother! -Leyla, shush!
Shahzade, you will clean off the shame you’ve covered my face with...
...or you all will pay the price for it.
KAYI NOMAD TENTS
Take two of the best Alps with you.
You will hit the road, armed with weapons.
Aye, Bey!
You will watch the Templars' castle.
You will inform me about...
...who gets in and out, even about the birds that fly over it!
There is no stopping from now on!
Since they have waged a war against us, we will loom over them like a dark shadow!
Aye, Bey!
Nobody will know about your mission except you and the other two Alps.
Pick the most close-mouthed ones.
We saw a castle similar to this one while we were in Alamut.
But we did not have the chance to get in.
We are meant to enter this one!
You can get in, but I am not sure if you will be able to get out alive.
Let's hope for the best, Knight!
You can speak our language very well, where are you from, Knight?
I am Saxon and also my mother is Breton.
Ah, good!
There is no cross tattoo on him!
Neither a cross nor a crescent, brother!
Who the hell are you?
Did you take his ring out?
Yes, Bey.
-There was poison in it, like you said. -But he has no tattoo on his head, Bey.
If he is not a Crusader...
...he must be someone else's stooge.
Untie him.
So we are alone together, Nasir.
I will not allow you to kill yourself.
What do you want to know?
Nothing.
I already know what I should know.
Then what do you want from me?
I will take you to the nomad tent.
Just think.
An army with one commander captured by the Kayis...
...and another one taking shelter in the Kayis.
Do you think they would be able to go to war?
You bastard!
Dogan, Bamsi.
Get him ready!
Turgut.
Move, Turk, this way!
Sir, I have brought your guest.
Welcome Kurdoglu!
I am glad to be here.
You must be the Master.
God bless, everybody can speak our language here.
We had a conversation with your knight during our trip...
...even though he is not as friendly as you are.
Speaking the enemy's language is the greatest weapon, Kurdoglu.
Are we still enemies?
We know how to embrace everyone who collaborates with us.
Even the Muslims?
The shadow of the cross upon which Jesus was crucified...
...keeps us all cool in the fire of our tormented lives, Kurdoglu.
Who we are does not matter.
What matters the most is that our interests are aligned, don't you think so?
Smart people have always set my mind at ease.
I had a very nice meal prepared for you.
Since I know how your fine tastes are...
...I could say that I had it prepared especially for you.
Titus overpraised your cuisine, and especially your hospitality.
Thank you.
After you!
Wow!
This must be what it’s like to be a great and wealthy person, huh?
Every herd needs a shepherd, of course!
Our herd cannot even prepare a simple meal, Bey!
They only know how to herd animals.
Anything and everything is about snarling at other men.
This time they have gone too far.
Aleaddin on one side...
the Ayyubids on the other side, the Crusaders on the other.
It is all about two impractical evils doing stupid things.
Suleyman Shah and his son, Ertugrul.
If somebody doesn’t put them through the wringer...
...too many heads will roll, Kurdoglu.
Mostly from your nomad group.
-Isadora. -Uncle.
I took your Aristotle book.
Excuse me.
She is a beautiful girl, isn't she?
We can only say: “May God grant her a happy marriage.”
Mario?
Good day, madam.
How much longer are you going to run away from me?
Come to see me tomorrow morning.
Eftelya?
Titus.
This...
This is impossible!
I saw your burnt body myself.
Titus, you are underestimating me.
That body you saw was not mine.
Wear it!
I know that El Aziz and Halime's wedding plan went down the drain.
So the Seljuk and the Ayyubid war is just a dream now.
Are you holding my arms, that you once held with love, with anger now?
I am not responsible for what happened. Come to your senses!
I am sorry, Eftelya.
I did not mean to make you angry.
There is only one person responsible for the things that have happened.
And that is Ertugrul!
Ertugrul and Halime are madly in love with each other.
There can be two reasons for a man's failure, Titus.
The first is his uncontrollable ambition, and the other is love.
You still have a chance.
If you can manage to abuse the weak sides of those foolish lovers...
...you will be able get what you want.
Go to the castle.
Lie low for some time.
We will find a way to get you into the palace when this is all over.
What about Nasir?
Huh, Nasir!
He is busy with provoking the Turkmens...
...into starting a riot against Sultan Aleaddin.
What are you going to do?
This marriage will be solemnized.
And Ertugrul will die.
That is my job.
I would have liked to serve you some wine.
I am growing the grapes in my own vineyard with my own fair hands.
But I thought it would not be appropriate because of your religion.
Thank you.
As I said earlier, I would have liked to help your nomad group very much...
...but I do not want to take El Aziz's armies on without a cause.
The only thing we all wish for is just a little peace, isn't it?
Aren't you going to help at all?
I cannot help because the interests of the Crusaders' world do not permit that.
But we are both smart enough to get the best out of this situation in the end...
...don't you think so, Kurdoglu?
How can that be?
If you kill Suleyman Shah and supersede....
...you will not only get our support...
but also the support of the Crusaders' Principality of Antioch...
...which is under our control, the support of El Aziz's palace...
...the support of everyone!
I am not talking about just moral support.
The fertile grasslands...
The loot you will receive by raiding the orthodox infidels.
You shall not be pushed for money.
I would like you to find new allies in your nomad group.
Persuade them into being bewitched by the gold and captivate them.
A small gift for you.
Any questions, Kurdoglu?
The knight I saw in the courtyard.
Isn't he Ertugrul's Alp, Turgut?
We are calling him Judas now.
When the right time comes and he goes back to your nomad tent...
...he will be your closest helper.
And also my messenger.
Judas.
I am going to head out for Konya immediately.
I am going to tell Sultan Aleaddin what has happened.
Ertugrul, we shall not waste our time here any longer.
It is best to hit the road as soon as possible.
Keep an eye on him.
Do not let him kill himself like Eftelya.
Don’t worry, Bey.
What if this pander quibbles and tells his soldiers that it’s a lie...
...when you take him to the nomad tent?
As long as Nasir and Sahabettin are in the nomad tent...
...he would not have the courage to sic his men on us, uncle.
Will you hold him hostage?
El Aziz will have to listen to us.
El Aziz is such an inept man that...
...he knows very well he cannot rule the country without them.
May God help us all!
Amen.
The entire palace is imprisoned by your sorrow, Your Highness The Ameer.
I’ve been badly betrayed, Ebu Hisham.
Halime...
...the woman I love...
...humiliated me in front of everyone...
...and abandoned the wedding.
I do not know what to say, Your Highness The Ameer.
And you were so excited about it.
You were going to go to the hunting lodge...
...and spend the sweetest and happiest days of your life there.
I cannot explain how sorry I am.
So you say, Ebu Hisham, I was destined to be unhappy!
I wouldn't like to bore you on a sad day like this, but perhaps...
...if I told you something that I have just learned, it might help.
I am listening...
If you take Halime Sultan and head out for the hunting lodge...
...I know that someone will come after you.
Ertugrul.
How do you know that?
Because of the secret visit...
...that your sister and your nanny made to my beloved merchant friend...
...Your Highness The Ameer.
Talk frankly, Ebu Hisham!
Leyla and your nanny...
...are meeting with Ertugrul in Ephraim's shop.
Ertugrul learns everything that is going on in the palace from them.
No.
It is a lie, isn't it?
Soldiers, come with me!
Tell Commander Gunhan not to wait any longer!
I do not want to hear the name Kayi any longer.
Kill anyone who resists without pity.
Are you still here? Hurry!
