NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Tell me.
Who is the traitor who serves you? Tell me.
Who are you running from, Polin?
Hide me, old man.
I need your help.
Hide me, come on, old man.
Get in there. Get in!
Come on, this way.
-Did you see someone running towards here? -He went this way.
He ran into the street.
Poor kid.
What did you do to them? Why are they after you?
I was accused of treason, old man.
What, treason?
Get out now, don't involve me in this!
No, listen.
Vasilius killed your tekfur.
They are after us because we know.
Remember, we helped you once.
Helena.
Enough! What do you think you are doing?
Mind your own business.
When the enemy attacks your castle,
you will not need gold, but loyal people like him.
Tekfur Vasilius.
Are you all right?
I am...
I am grateful to you, Alvin.
Master Alvin is also missing.
Helena is in danger too.
We need to save Helena from that murderer.
I will tell you everything.
Help me, old man.
Help me.
The old tekfur helped me a lot.
He never laid a hand on me.
But Vasilius
had me whipped just because I couldn't pay my taxes.
He is not a man of honor.
I will help you rescue Helena.
We will wait till it gets dark, stay there.
May I come in, Helena?
Come in, Çolpan.
Welcome, Çolpan.
Thank you, Helena.
What a beautiful fabric.
It is worthy of a princess.
Master Alvin said it came from China.
His name is not Alvin,
it is Haçaturyan.
What are you saying, Çolpan?
Who is Haçaturyan?
Ertuğrul's spy who infiltrated the castle with his alp.
They fooled you and rented your shop.
They were the reason for all that malice.
What?
Ertuğrul...
Çolpan, what kind of trick is this?
Why did Ertuğrul use a Christian man against us?
I will kill them with my own hands.
Tekfur Almighty has already killed the old man.
He painted his precious fabric with his blood.
Ertuğrul's alp will face the same fate, too.
Bastards.
They used me.
I am sick and tired of their tricks.
Now it is time for Ertuğrul's brother, who is in the dungeon.
When he tells us the name of the other traitor in the castle...
we will be able to breathe again.
Finally.
Finally, we will get our revenge.
Your father's castle will be cleaned of its traitors.
Do not worry about it, Helena.
Haçaturyan
was the living proof that the Turks will bring order
with justice and compassion towards the people,
no matter their religion or their tribe.
He sacrificed his life for our secret.
He was a loyal man.
-May he rest in peace. -May he rest in peace.
Amen.
None of us knew that Doğan and Dündar Beys were going to go to Konya, Ertuğrul Bey.
Only Artuk Bey and I knew that, Aliyar Bey.
I gave the order to the Cavdar Tribe.
They knew it was a state secret.
They knew the message they carried to Sultan
was more important than their lives.
How did the enemy know then?
My brother Dündar.
How did Dündar Bey do that, Bey?
He was blindfolded by love, Turgut.
He probably made a careless mistake
and revealed to Günyeli Hatun that I sent them to Konya.
And then Günyeli told her father...
There is no other explanation for this treason.
Treason...
I will make them pay for this, I swear.
I will hold Acar
and his daughter accountable.
Then I will come back to you for the funeral.
Thank you, Aliyar Bey.
Interrogate them.
But do not kill.
We will wait for a while.
Let's go, Alps.
May I come in, Bey?
Come in.
Bey, I've got news from Kayi Tribe.
-What happened? -Doğan Alp and Dündar Bey
were attacked on the road to Konya.
Doğan Alp is dead, and Dündar Bey is missing.
The tribe is mourning.
This is the victory of Ural Bey.
Everything will be better.
Father...
I worry that they will blame us.
I think about Dündar Bey.
Did we wrong him?
Do not worry, my dear.
Besides, they cannot do anything to us without solid proof.
And Ural Bey will become the head of his tribe soon.
Hereafter, we will be more cautious and wait patiently.
We should have killed you.
You bastard!
You filthy coward.
Once upon a time...
you tied me up, just like this.
You remember, right, Dündar Bey?
I swore that day
that I would lead you to extinction.
In this case,
the extinction will start with you, right?
But you were not my first choice, Dündar Bey.
And who will you do it with, huh?
Even your siblings do not want to see your face...
Because of your brother,
I have lost my siblings,
my father and my child.
And now,
you brother will lose his little brother!
Kill me then, just kill me!
You'd be doing a favor to my brother.
Kill me!
I am here because of your lapdog Acar.
If I come out of here alive,
I will kill that corrupt girl Günyeli first.
No... You will not die easily, Dündar Bey.
You are a bey, after all.
You'll die in a way worthy of a bey.
And by the way...
I will tell your words to Acar Bey
when I get back my tribe.
Do not worry about it.
I will tell him myself.
Now, you are going to tell me
who your rat in this castle is.
Huh?
Shame on you!
Now you are Vasilius' right-hand man and you're questioning me?
You're supposed to be a Turk.
You are a disgrace to Turks.
You fool.
We are here
because of our brothers, you and I both.
Don't you understand?
My children...
They left me one by one.
Halime...
Sungurtekin...
Gündoğdu...
Now they are all gone.
And now it is Dündar.
He was my precious.
He was my youngest child with Suleyman Shah.
If anything happens to him...
I will not be able to handle it, Halime.
Mother.
Ertuğrul Bey will not return without him.
Stay strong, please.
Dündar...
Where is Dündar?
Where is my son, Ertuğrul?
We could not find him, Mother.
Mother!
Ertuğrul, sit her down.
Come.
My poor baby...
Ertuğrul,
why couldn't you find him? What happened to my son?
Corrupt Vasilius set us up by telling he would send Dündar to Nicaea.
When we got there, we found Haçaturyan's dead body.
My God...
Ease my sorrow, my God.
My God.
Then where is Dündar Bey, Bey?
Do not worry.
Dündar is alive.
Oh!
See?
God, give me patience.
Give me patience.
Give me patience, God. Help me.
Bey, how was that possible?
We did not even know where Dündar Bey was going to go.
Günyeli Hatun.
What?
Dündar must have told Günyeli
that he was going to Konya.
There is no other way for that bastard to have known that.
Cruel people,
corrupt people...
the people who don't fear me have ruined me.
Ah, Günyeli.
How could you do that to Dündar?
I trusted her.
But she sent my son to his death.
Ah, the great world!
How much more corruption do you hide within?
Ah!
I have told you, Mother.
I told you that she has a dark side, she is a dangerous woman.
She was just like her father.
Yes, you said that.
You said that.
You said that. You are right.
Look what has happened to us.
Ertuğrul...
Bring my Dündar back...
before we bury Doğan.
Do not leave him alone.
Do not leave him helpless, Son.
Mother.
I have never left anything unfinished before.
I will bring Dündar to you.
My dear son...
Günyeli Hatun...
and her traitor father will pay for it.
Now it is time to mourn in quiet, Mother.
It isn't time for groaning
and begging God to ease our pain.
You are the head of this tribe, Mother.
Be strong.
How is Banu Çiçek Hatun?
She is unconscious, Bey.
She could not stand anymore.
Poor girl...
My poor girl.
You should be with her.
Do not leave her alone.
Yes, Bey.
Halime Hatun was right, Brother.
She has never trusted Günyeli.
If you are right about this,
I will make her pay for it.
When I put my sword to her throat...
we will see if she is lying, Aslihan.
You have summoned me, Bey?
Go to Acar
and bring him to me, along with his corrupt daughter.
Yes, Bey.
Kutluca.
Leave Günyeli to me.
Good news.
Ural Bey sends his regards to you.
Wa-Alaikum-Salaam.
Wa-Alaikum-Salaam. But we were looking forward to seeing him here.
They are onto us.
We have nowhere to go.
Be patient.
Our salvation is near.
Ask for permission, Kutluca! This is not a barn.
A man without honor is inferior to an animal, Acar Bey.
Who are you to weigh my honor?
Aliyar Bey will weigh your honor, not me. You are coming with me.
What is the matter?
-How could you bring a bey-- -Hush!
Take him.
What is this?
What is this? Stop. What are you doing?
Stop, let go of me.
Let go of me.
-My dear. -Banu Çiçek.
Banu Çiçek.
My dear.
Hereafter, my tent is my prison.
What will I do without him?
I know it is hard.
I know he will not come back.
But think about the one who will come, Banu Çiçek.
Your unborn child.
My child...
lost his father before his birth.
He will never see his father.
How can I stand it, Halime Hatun?
How?
What will I tell him...
if he asks about his father?
You will say he died a martyr.
You will say, "He died a martyr.
Solely because...
he wanted you and your descendants to live a good life."
You will say, "Your father was a brave man...
and he sacrificed himself for his tribe."
Besides, he will have uncles.
He will have Ertuğrul Bey,
and us too.
We will look after your baby, Banu Çiçek.
My mourning will go on...
until we avenge Doğan.
My tears will not stop until I see the people
who did this to him suffer.
How did it happen?
Even I did not know where they were going...
How could they attack them?
How?
Ertuğrul will be onto them, my dear.
We will avenge Doğan.
And we,
as the women of the Kayi Tribe,
will support our men.
And you will send your husband to heaven in peace.
You will regret this, Aliyar Bey.
You not only disregarded me, but all the beys in my tribe.
My daughter.
Father!
Is this your justice?
How could you blame me without solid proof?
You are tormenting my poor girl.
-You will-- -Shut up!
Shut up.
You have helped the traitor Ural.
You have caused the death of my alps.
You have betrayed my tribe,
our traditions.
You gave Dündar Bey and Doğan to the heathen.
You corrupt man,
you dishonorable bastard!
You even used your own daughter for your dirty tricks.
Listen to me!
Acar Bey is the traitor!
But I am not going to kill him...
until hear it from him.
We want evidence, Aliyar Bey.
You are acting like a tyrant towards him!
Acar Bey has lived with dignity.
You cannot declare us as traitors without proof.
I am the head of this tribe!
You will listen to me!
You will trust me!
If I say Acar is the traitor...
I will prove it, of course.
If the shoe fits, wear it!
I will make the traitors pay for this.
Take them.
Father.
Father. Let go of me!
-Let go of us. -Father, do something!
-Let go of me. -Father, they are going to kill us!
-Let go of me. -Before we solve this...
if anybody talks...
I will cut out his tongue!
I am warning you.
Go now.
Guards!
Aslihan.
Get ready, Sister.
We will attend Doğan Alp's funeral.
What about Acar and Günyeli, Brother?
-Kutluca. -Yes, Bey.
Keep an eye on them until we come back.
If that corrupt Acar tries to talk...
do what is needed.
Yes, Bey.
Sir, the emperor sent you a letter.
That's it.
The emperor wants to talk about the war
we plan to start to get rid of the Turks.
He says he will give me full authorization to go to war.
That is your victory, Sir.
And he wants to be with us for my and Helena's wedding.
Is the emperor coming here?
We will go there.
He's inviting us to his palace.
He wants to hold our wedding ceremony at his palace.
However, at such a time...
leaving the castle...
Angelos...
The commander of the troops that the emperor sent is my old friend Angelos.
He will be in charge when I am gone.
Make preparations for him.
Won't you wait for him to come to the castle, Sir?
No time for that.
We cannot keep waiting on the emperor,
so we are going tomorrow.
I'll see him on the way.
Yes, Sir.
I have heard that your soldiers couldn't catch Dumrul.
He won't escape from the castle.
We will find him, no matter what.
God willing, Tekfur Almighty. God willing.
Dumrul and Dündar have valuable information for us.
Unless we catch the rat who sends messages to them,
none of us are safe.
I have wounded Ertuğrul deeply.
I have his brother. Now he is unable to breathe.
Doğan was one of his best alps.
Now, he is burying him
and crying over him.
May this be our smallest victory, Ural Bey. To the bigger ones.
-Any word on Teo? -We will hear soon, Tekfur Almighty.
If they cannot kidnap him,
I will give him to you with my own hands when I take back the tribe.
As long as he keeps his mouth shut.
I will meet with beys of the tribes who are loyal to me.
Now,
it is time to get my fair share.
I hope you'll have your tribe back when I return, Ural.
Then we will deal with Ertuğrul.
Where are you going, Tekfur Almighty?
To my wedding, Ural Bey.
I'm going to my wedding.
Turgut.
Yes, Brother.
Brother...
How...
can I stand...
to see Doğan's death?
Tell me, Brother.
Now, my brother is gone...
and...
I don't care about anything anymore, Brother.
Brother, we should be strong.
You...
You died a martyr.
You died a martyr but...
you taught a bear like me...
how to be a good brother.
Brother Doğan...
Now,
do not go anywhere.
Wait for me...
Wait for me there.
My brave men.
My Alps.
Our brother Doğan...
died a martyr by the cruel sword of the heathen.
We are like the limbs of a body.
If somebody wants to tear us apart
we will not let them do so.
I swear,
we will respond to this strongly.
Before the blood of our martyr dries,
we must avenge him.
Hereafter...
we will mourn in silence.
We will grind our swords.
Karacahisar Castle
will tremble at the sound of our footsteps!
It is time now.
Come on, brothers.
We need to bury our martyr.
In the name of God.
Essela
tu vesselamu aleyk.
Aleyke ya seyyidena ve senedena.
Doğan!
How am I going to raise our child without you, Doğan?
Banu Çiçek, come here.
God is the greatest. There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
-God is the greatest. -...aleyke ya seyyidena...
-God is the greatest. -ve senedena ya Mevlana...
-There is no deity but God. -..ya habib Allah.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.

There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
God is the greatest.
There is no deity but God.
May I come in, my pretty bride?
Yes, Vasilius, you may come in.
We are solving our problems one by one.
Is that so?
So you have won a victory.
You are my greatest victory, Helena.
I have won your heart.
Catching the traitors in my castle is nothing
when you compare it to that victory.
Yes.
Çolpan Hatun told me.
They used me too.
It is over now, Helena.
It is over.
Good days have come.
We caught the traitors.
I am interrogating Dündar.
It will be done when I learn who their rat in the castle is.
Do not worry anymore, Helena.
I have some more good news for you.
The emperor finally understands that we need to take action
against the Turks.
He invited us to his palace.
-Us? -Yes, us.
Our wedding will be held in Nicea,
at the palace.
It will be a wedding worthy of my princess.
I...
do not know what to say, Vasilius.
I am so grateful.
You just rest.
Stop your beautiful eyes from crying.
Okay?
We are going tomorrow.
