THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
What do you think about it, Sadettin?
I know Vasilius well, Your Highness.
Ertuğrul Bey is quite right.
He is blinded by his desire to spill Turk blood.
Out of his hatred for the Turks,
he will prowl out of his fortress...
like the dog he is,
and find something to bite.
Along with his treachery.
Are you all right, Your Highness?
Do you need water?
Your Highness...
He's been poisoned.
Our sultan has been poisoned.
Quick! Call the doctors!
Quick!
What's the meaning of this, Emir Sadettin?
It's on you to answer that question, not me.
What's happening here?
What's the meaning of this?
I know you are panicked but watch your mouth, Emir Sadettin.
Guards! Take Ertuğrul Bey's sword from him.
Come on!
Arrest him.
Give your sword to the guard, Ertuğrul.
What do you think you are doing, Emir Sadettin?
-Make way. -Is he all right?
What are you doing?
What's going on, Your Highness?
Abu Mansur has been poisoned.
Take him to his room.
Come on!
Throw Ertuğrul Bey in jail.
What did you say, Your Highness?
Why would he poison the man that saved his life?
Have the Kayi alps leave this place.
They shall go back to their tribe.
Your Highness, let me put my skills as a doctor into good use.
Abu Mansur has his own doctor.
He'll take care of him.
Now, leave this place at once.
Go!
Be quick.
We must make him vomit.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
How could you be so stupid, Emir Sadettin?
How could you be fooled like this?
We won't let you take my brother!
Ertuğrul Bey, calm yourself and have your men put away their weapons.
I don't want any bloodshed between us.
Surrender!
Dündar Bey, Artuk Bey.
Take the men and go back to the camp.
Let everybody at the camp know what happened here.
Sir. Sir!
Let us stay with you.
How could we just leave you here?
What's happening here, sir?
Who are these men? Who is this Abu Mansur?
Leave now if you don't want bloodshed.
Turgut.
Let's go!
Surrender your weapon.
Take him.
What kind of treachery is this?
You are being played off against me.
Pray that this doesn't turn out to be on you.
Because if it is, you shall die a terrible death.
Take him!
Bamsi.
Calm down. Bamsi.
Let's calm down and think of our next move.
We know what we must do, Artuk Bey.
We must save Ertuğrul Bey.
Samsa, inform the Cavdar Tribe fast.
Tell Aslıhan Hatun to come to the Kayi Tribe.
All right, Artuk Bey.
Men! Come with me.
Come on.
We will call the beys going to the meeting to Kayi Tribe,
else we won't be able to fend off this trouble.
Why would Ertuğrul Bey want to kill a merchant?
Nobody would be fooled by that lie. All the beys will support us.
Yes, I know that everybody knows, but Emir Sadettin would not get it.
Our bey has been an ally to Emir Sadettin for so long.
What issue could he have with our bey?
Good faith may cause ill-fate sometimes, Bamsi.
Emir Sadettin is after something.
Artuk Bey, something I don't understand is going on.
Who on earth is this guy called Abu Mansur?
Plus, why is Emir Sadettin head over heels for this guy?
We will find out everything, Bamsi.
Yes, we will.
We will.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Throw it all up, Your Highness.
O, the one who cures!
It's...
It's poison.
God.
On the honor of your name, help us, o, one who cures.
This is not good.
God sent us this trouble, but he sent us our remedy, as well.
God bless.
Thank God. God bless.
Bismillah.
Healer.
How is our sultan?
He's not okay, Your Highness.
I'm trying to empty his stomach.
Water.
Let me do it.
Take this out of here.
Your Highness.
What are you standing around for?
I don't know what's happening.
I have no idea what he was poisoned with.
He's in a critical condition. We're losing him.
-As salaam wa alaikum. -Wa alaikum as salaam.
What's all the fuss?
You were sent by God, sir.
We are in huge trouble, Ibn Arabi.
The merchant Abu Mansur was poisoned.
The emir holds our bey responsible.
You saved Ertuğrul Bey from poison once.
We have faith that you will save us from this false accusation, as well.
Artuk Bey, fate protects the man from death.
Our duty is...
to intervene to protect the man from the grasp of his fate.
Let me see Abu Mansur immediately.
Where do you think you are going? The emir's orders are absolute.
All right, we won't pass. It's just Ibn Arabi.
I said nobody goes in! Are you daft? Go back to your tribe.
Do you think we would let our bey die in your hands?
We've done as you said up until now.
However,
you will let Ibn Arabi in...
if you want Abu Mansur to live.
Either he enters in one piece,
or nobody leaves here in one piece!
What's all this fuss?
Don't you see that they are disobeying the orders of the emir?
All we want is for Ibn Arabi to cure Abu Mansur.
Let him in.
Follow me, Ibn Arabi, sir.
Are you going against his orders, too?
I only follow Abu Mansur's orders.
Make way!
Go ahead, Ibn Arabi, sir.
Stand down!
Bamsi.
Bamsi, gather the men who were guarding the inn.
Hide somewhere close.
Wait for my orders.
There will be chaos.
-We can't leave our bey alone. -Right on, brother.
We will do anything for our bey.
And if we must die for his sake,
then die we shall.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
Our country will be safe.
Emir Sadettin will fill the gap left behind by you.
Did I not order you to not let anybody in?
Emir Sadettin.
Ibn Arabi has come to cure our sultan.
He has his own healer.
But his hands are tied.
Arabi is Ertuğrul's man.
Why would I trust him?
Take him away.
Your Highness.
If the high state officials find out
that you turned him away at such a crucial time,
they will put all of us in a grave, along with our sultan.
And you'll go down first.
You...
dare threaten me?
I dedicated my life to the sultan.
I do as my duty calls.
If need be, I'd gladly surrender my life for him.
Emir Sadettin.
If it's in his fate,
let alone such a miserable man as me,
nobody would be able to save our sultan from his fate.
However,
you will nonetheless be remembered as the man
who obstructed me.
If His Highness dies,
I'll kill you with my own hands.
Go ahead.
How is his condition?
It's still bad, Your Highness.
Let Ibn Arabi handle this.
What have you tried?
I tried to empty his stomach, but it was to no avail.
I don't understand what’s happening.
Don't take your eyes off him.
As you wish, Your Highness.
Give me a cup. Let's check his blood.
Right away.
Get me the herbs I'm about to list, chief physician.
Bismillah.
My sweet son.
May I enter, Mother?
Come in, son.
Mother, I have bad news.
What bad news? This is going to kill me.
Abu Mansur was poisoned at the inn.
He was alive when we left, but his condition is still critical.
Emir Sadettin holds Ertuğrul Bey responsible.
He took him captive.
Oh, no!
Mother!
What do we do?
Emir Sadettin had all of us leave the inn.
We informed the beys that were invited to the meeting.
We will meet at our marquee tomorrow.
Aslıhan Hatun is on her way as well.
It'll mean Ertuğrul Bey's death if something happens to the sultan.
Did you say "sultan"?
Abu Mansur is the sultan?
How is that even possible?
Abu Mansur
is Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad.
He came in disguise.
But keep this a secret.
Don't let anybody else know.
This explains all the fuss.
Pity that I had to meet with our sultan in such dire times.
God bless him.
Ertuğrul Bey won't be able to get out of this alone.
What do you mean "alone"?
We are with him, son. All the other beys will stand by his side.
Right.
Mother, the sultan must live,
or else Ertuğrul Bey will...
This misunderstanding will right itself.
My son would never do something like that.
What is worse is if something were to happen to the sultan,
then our country would be in danger.
Artuk Bey.
Tomorrow,
we will gather the Turkmen beys and explain the situation.
We will make for the inn together.
And whoever did this, or put this on my son,
we will call them to account for it.
Artuk Bey, you and Dündar will stay with the tribe.
If something happens to Ertuğrul or us,
you will lead our tribe.
-Mother. -Dündar!
You are a bey.
You are the leader when Ertuğrul is not here.
Don't you worry, Hayme Hatun. Leave it to us.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Can you excuse us?
I presume you are wise enough to know
what will happen if you let our sultan die.
Your Highness, we must do as Ibn Arabi says.
Gather them, Your Highness. Gather all seven of the fruits.
Gather them in the name of God, who gives life.
Gather them in the name of him who cures the sick.
For God is close, and answers our prayers.
It hurts so much.
I can't bear it any longer.
God's decision will reveal itself soon. Endure.
Al-Hayy, Al-Qayyoom.
More trouble has landed on Ertuğrul before he could even see his child.
Greater mists fall on great mountains, my dear.
Ertuğrul has many enemies, but he has just as many friends.
Don't you worry.
Mother.
-My dear. -Halime Sultan.
Aslıhan Hatun.
Mother, what happened?
This is just a test, dear.
Why would Ertuğrul Bey poison the merchant that he works with?
He is no merchant, Aslıhan Hatun.
He is Sultan Alaeddin.
What...
What did you say, Halime?
Mother.
No! It's worse than I thought.
The welfare of our country and Ertuğrul Bey's life are both in danger.
How could you not recognize him, Halime?
I saw him once when I was imprisoned many years ago.
We had to run away with my father.
I felt I recognized him at first, but it took time to remember.
Whoever is behind this, he is wise enough
to get a thousand birds with one stone.
Little by little you took away my dreams.
Little by little you took away those I loved,
and left me begging to the traitors.
Left me as a slave to the enemy.
Look at you, Colpan.
You were Nicaea's princess once.
You became the sultan of the Cavdars.
And now, you are trapped in the fortress of these bastards
with a baby in your womb.
Ekaterina.
Come in, Vasilius.
I have good news for you.
You
have given me the chance I've been looking for all this time.
The chance to destroy all my enemies.
Tomorrow...
they will all die.
So, you will avenge my baby's father before he is even born?
We will avenge you.
When your child grows up, he will see what you have accomplished
and be proud of you, Ekaterina.
They'll both be proud of you.
The sultan was poisoned at your inn.
Even that shame is enough for you.
Is there any use in me killing you?
Pray that Arabi saves our sultan as he saved you.
He will, should God allow it.
I can see in your eyes the hatred you feel toward me, Emir Sadettin.
You very well know that I did not poison him.
The hatred in you...
became clear when our sultan appointed me as the margrave.
What would an Emir of the Seljuks, such as I, ever hope to gain
from a margrave, such as yourself?
What could I want from you?
You poison everybody around you, right?
And not just our sultan.
Who do you mean, Emir Sadettin?
You poisoned Aslıhan with your ambitions.
Are you aware of what you are saying?
Aslıhan refused to be my wife.
Why?
Just why?
Because of you.
Yes, all because of you.
She said something about leading her tribe
and carrying out the responsibilities left by Aliyar Bey.
And that she'd dedicate her life to her tribe.
And why is that?
Because of you.
She said you'd always be with her,
and that you'd protect her and her tribe.
What about me?
You took the woman I fell in love with away from me.
I curse the day you came to these lands, Ertuğrul.
Emir Sadettin.
Even if she loved you,
she wouldn't leave her tribe.
That gallant woman...
wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice her life for her tribe.
If you really loved her,
you'd be proud of her.
You'd support her decision.
Yours is nothing but obstinacy.
The fact that she refused you...
hurts your pride.
This is the truth.
Do you think I don't know that...
she once loved you?
Open!
