THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
We keep encountering each other.
And you keep running away, Vasilius.
So, you took your Sultan for a walk on my land, huh?
To think my fate would allow me to see both of you together.
You can't see our Sultan, even in your dreams, Vasilius.
This, again?
It's a trap! Attack!
This is...
how to ambush.
They are everywhere.
Everywhere!
Come on, everybody!
Ertuğrul!
One of us must die today.
May I enter, Halime Sultan?
Come in, Artuk Bey.
-Any news from Ertuğrul Bey? -Thank God Ibn Arabi
-cured our Sultan. -Thank God!
And he saved Ertuğrul Bey as soon as he got up.
Thank God!
Where is he now? At the inn?
He took off with our men
to catch Vasilius.
He wants us to join with the soldiers from Cavdar Tribe,
and protect our Sultan.
I will send our soldiers to the Sultan along with Dündar Bey.
Go fast, Dündar Bey.
Don't leave the Sultan alone.
May God help you.
I leave the tribe to you, Artuk Bey.
Go safely, Dündar Bey.
My God!
It's time for you to die, Vasilius.
You may kill me,
but our empire will live forever, Ertuğrul.
For God!
Sir!
God's blessing.
Men!
Sir!
Retreat!
Protect our bey!
Retreat!
Bamsi! Abdur Rahman!
Sir, are you all right?
Turgut, pull the arrow.
You will lose a lot of blood if I pull it, sir.
Take it out, Turgut.
Or else, Vasilius will get away.
Go on.
Bear with me, sir.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
For God!
I sent my men to save Vasilius, Your Highness.
They won't return before they kill Ertuğrul.
Do you trust those men?
They took this job on my orders. They won't budge.
Good.
Great.
I don't want any trouble, Cabir.
Tell your men to be alert.
Yes, sir.
May I enter?
Come in.
Sultan wants to see you, Your Highness.
Leave.
I said leave!
Commander Nikolas!
A message from the men watching over the market.
What is it?
Their Sultan is gone, but they are still on alert.
Its looks like they're expecting another attack.
If their Sultan is not there, what's all this fuss about?
What if the Sultan never actually left?
But how?
Ertuğrul...
He deceived us.
They lured Governor Vasilius and our men to themselves.
They knew we were going to attack the inn to kill the Sultan.
They prevented it.
What should we do now, Commander Nikolas?
We won't wait for the Governor and attack the inn ourselves.
It won't be long before they find out that Ertuğrul Bey tricked
Governor Vasilius, Ameer.
Once they find out, they will attack the marketplace.
I've taken some measures of my own, Your Highness.
You may rest to recover from that cursed poison.
I'm okay, Sadettin.
I'm okay.
I'm more worried about
the traitor among us.
With respect, sir, we don't know who poisoned you, or when.
You visited both tribes.
It's possible that this disaster happened in either of the tribes.
However, we will find the culprit.
I thought that traitor was among us, at the inn.
Even so, we will bring him to justice.
I'll find out who orchestrated this, Sadettin.
Come here, brother.
What do we do? We stop the bleeding.
We need to stop the bleeding.
-Thank you, brother. -Come on.
Sir!
Sir! Sir!
Sir!
Who were they, Bamsi?
I have no idea who they might be, sir.
We got two of them, but the other three got away.
They were trained archers, they wouldn't let us move, sir.
Vasilius got away once again.
That coward! Let's go after him.
Günküt, Dumrul, tend to your wounds first.
Take the injured men to the inn.
And tell our Sultan what happened here.
Yes, sir.
Bamsi, Turgut, we will go after Vasilius.
Take two men each.
Come on.
We have horses this way, sir.
Fool! We won't run away.
They will come after us. We will end this today.
One of us dies!
This will be the last battle. And it will be the Sultan's turn next.
This way.
This way!
No soldiers, they are defenseless.
Ready the men to sneak through the stream bed.
Yes, sir.
On your horses!
Come on!
Commander Nikolas, soldiers from Kayi and Çavdar are going to the inn.
That damned Turk!
Before we realized his plans
he called for backup from their tribes.
They have more men than us now, sir.
We can't win if we attack.
If they know that we are here, they will attack first.
Today is not the day for our victory.
Let's pray that Governor Vasilius gets back to the fortress safely.
What if Ertuğrul ambushed him?
We don't know where they went.
We left the fortress defenseless.
We must go back!
Turgut, Bamsi. Be careful.
Vasilius is not alone.
Whoever those bastards were,
he will want to group up and ambush us.
Our day has come, sir.
This ambush will be his grave.
Come on! Come on!
What happened after I was poisoned, Aziz?
Tell me everything.
Ameer Sadettin imprisoned Ertuğrul Bey first.
Ibn Arabi, who you invited here, tried to
heal you after he heard what happened.
However...
What is it?
Ameer Sadettin
didn't let him in thinking about your safety, Your Highness.
He wanted to protect me from that holy man?
If Ertuğrul Bey's soldiers had not insisted,
he was going to throw Ibn Arabi out
along with the soldiers, Your Highness.
I stepped out of line and opposed Ameer's orders.
And let Ibn Arabi in, Your Highness.
Why did he imprison Ertuğrul Bey?
Did he tell you anything?
He said he didn't trust him.
When the chief physician couldn't do anything,
I insisted that Ibn Arabi treat you, Your Highness.
You did the right thing, Aziz.
Rest at ease.
Your Highness.
Dündar Bey has come.
Let him in.
Dündar Bey, His Highness wants to see you.
On Ertuğrul Bey's orders we have come to ensure your safety, sir.
Men of Kayi and Cavdar tribes
are ready to die for your safety, Your Highness.
I see in your eyes the same brilliance as I do in your brother's, Dündar Bey.
If God permits it, Ertuğrul Bey's brilliance
will give merry hell
to those arrogant bastards.
I've no doubt that Ertuğrul Bey will emerge victorious.
I'd hope so, Your Highness.
Because this is the moment of truth.
May your leadership long continue so that our nation may be everlasting.
Your Highness.
With your permission,
Hayme Hatun and Aslıhan Hatun would also like to see you.
Let them in.
Stop!
This would make a good ambush spot.
They'll probably follow our tracks anyway.
But sir, they outnumber us.
The archers dealt with most of them.
We've the same numbers.
We still don't know who those archers were, sir.
They can't be our men.
Whoever they were, what's important is that they saved us.
I think that they are Ameer Sadettin's men.
Only Ameer Sadettin could have sent help to us.
But, how could he?
He's probably helping us to
stop Ertuğrul in his tracks.
Scatter around!
Scatter! Take your positions.
In your positions!
Would you like to sit?
As I was fighting for my life,
it is said, Sadettin threw your men out with force.
Despite that, you still came with the other Turkmen beys
to the Hanlı Bazaar.
We would never
leave you or Ertuğrul Bey alone, Your Highness.
Thank God Arabi cured you.
What would you have done if Ibn Arabi
couldn't save my life, and Ameer Sadettin continued to blame Ertuğrul Bey?
What would you do then?
Then,
we'd insist on the path we think to be true, Your Highness.
Our ardor and faith
in our country
would not allow us to let you or Ertuğrul Bey fall prey
to Ameer Sadettin's mistake, Your Highness.
We have seen many a great nation fall
due to the weakness of their
respective ameers.
If Artuk Bey
had not insisted on Arabi treating you,
and if we had not
tried to convince Ameer Sadettin that he was being mistaken,
then both Ameer Sadettin and our country would have been weakened.
And you would go against the man you are going to marry, Aslıhan Hatun?
We would not stop
to think and go against the whole world
if it's for you and Ertuğrul Bey's sakes.
Plus...
I won't be marrying Ameer Sadettin.
Is that so?
I voiced my wishes to lead the tribe that my brother entrusted me with.
I respectfully told him
that even if our revenge is taken,
and Karacahisar is conquered, I'm never going to leave my tribe.
I'm the last child of my father, the very bey of the Cavdars.
It'd be improper to leave, Your Highness.
I'll forever hold that what keeps
my country on its feet is you, the women.
You don't just give birth to those brave men.
You raise them
and you're also battle ready on their side at all times.
God bless you women, who keep our nation alive.
Come now, Ertuğrul.
Come to your death.
It's like that coward hid in a hole.
Where could he disappear to in the blink of an eye?
It's like he vanished into thin air.
Sir, I saw horses by the stream bed.
It's their horses.
They are still here.
Keep watch on us from afar.
It looks like Vasilius wants to ambush us.
Yes, sir.
As you wish, sir.
Let's go.
God, help us.
Help us, God.
Commander.
What happened?
Ertuğrul fooled both us and Governor Vasilius.
What do you mean? Where is Vasilius?
I don’t know. I don't know, Ekaterina. Got it?
Commander Nikolas.
One of the soldiers that went with Vasilius has arrived.
Let him in right away.
Yes, sir.
Guards!
Tell me what happened now! Where is Vasilius?
Sir, Ertuğrul fooled us once again.
The man with him wasn't Sultan Alaeddin.
I knew it! Damn it!
We fought hard.
Governor managed to get away with the few soldiers left alive.
If the archers had not come just in time
we'd all have died.
What archers?
Who were they?
We don't know.
So that means we are not fighting damned Ertuğrul alone.
-Do you know where they are? -Yes, sir.
Send them reinforcements right away!
Guards!
You still can't tell your friends from your foes.
You still haven't figured out whose men those archers are.
Just pray that nothing happens to Vasilius,
because then
Ertuğrul would be able to conquer this fortress with just his men.
If you are so experienced,
tell me who those archers are.
Long live Nicaea!
You won't live to see it, Vasilius.
Your Highness.
Ertuğrul Bey's injured men have come.
One of them wants to talk to you.
Let him in.
Speak.
What happened?
Your Highness, we beat Vasilius and his men.
Just as Ertuğrul Bey was about to kill Vasilius,
some men came to Vasilius' rescue.
They shot Ertuğrul Bey with bows.
May God protect them.
Who were those archers?
We have no idea, Your Highness.
However, our men went after them.
Where is Ertuğrul Bey?
Vasilius got away.
Ertuğrul Bey and his men went after him.
He sent me to let you know, Your Highness.
May God
help them.
Not this time, you bastards!
Ertuğrul got away.
Again.
Cabir, why did your esteemed soldiers
fail to carry it out?
Those soldiers have no fear of death, Your Highness.
They won't let Ertuğrul escape.
They won't come back unless they kill him
or die trying.
Everybody dies.
Right, Cabir?
Unless they accomplish their mission, what use is it if they die?
Who cares?
They would die in vain.
Your Highness.
We know that Ertuğrul Bey went after Vasilius with few men.
Many of his men returned heavily injured.
My soldiers will carry it out.
It seems you don't know Ertuğrul yet, Cabir.
They only had one chance.
If they could have done it the first time, it was over.
Now, it's too late.
Ertuğrul must be prepared now.
Just pray that
he doesn't catch your soldiers alive.
Get out!
Reso, come on!
Long live hell for all tyrants!
