THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Mother, you are so valuable to us.
Your word is more important than anything.
I'd like to know what you think about the matter of migration.
Come sit by me.
The arguments at the party made me uneasy, Son.
The course of events doesn’t bode well.
If the fire of conflict starts to burn in our tribe, God forbid, we will perish.
That is why I want the marketplace to be sold and for us to migrate, Mother.
I want to be one with my brothers.
Otherwise, we will lose each other at this frontier.
You are right, my son.
Strength comes from unity.
I too find it appropriate for the Kayi to stand as one.
Then why are you so deep in thought, Mother?
What's making you uncomfortable?
Look, Son.
We came here to strike fear in the ruthless
and bring hope to the oppressed.
We, and Ertuğrul, fought hard for this.
I say, let us send a messenger to your brothers
and call them back here.
And if they don't come, let us ride to them.
What do you say?
My hope in migrating is that it will unify the tribes, Mother.
I don't think my brothers would come.
They have grown roots there, Mother.
Yes, but...
how could I leave my Ertuğrul's grave here and go?
Don't you worry, Mother.
I will send the messenger. I will do as you say.
That would do, my son. That would do.
Excuse me, Mother.
Ertuğrul Bey.
You'll find out who set you up sooner or later.
When the time comes, they will all feel my wrath.
This way.
She has a concussion, my lord. She is not well.
I don't care what she has.
Make sure she lives long enough to talk,
-or I'll have you thrown off the wall. -I will get her to come around, My Lord.
Help me.
Let's take her to the bed.
Careful! Keep her steady!
-My lord. -Speak.
I sent our best warriors to aid Mihalis.
Ertuğrul will understand that he is being pursued once Mihalis attacks.
Ertuğrul doesn't know that I was the one who set him up.
What if he finds out?
Ertuğrul will die before he makes it to his tribe, Lukas,
or he will die with them.
We are assuming a state of war. I have had it with this fake peace agreement.
We cannot rid these lands of the Turks without shedding blood by the gallon.
-Gather the commanders. -Yes, my lord.
They are in your chambers awaiting you.
Door.
They're coming. Settle down.
He's alive! Ertuğrul Bey is alive!
-Thank God. -We are grateful.
-You're alive. -Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
Ertuğrul Bey, you're alive!
Thank God you're all right, Ertuğrul Bey.
We are grateful, Ertuğrul Bey. You saved our lives.
You're welcome.
-Thank you. -Thank God.
It is now time for us to part ways.
Go to your families, your loved ones.
-No. No. -No.
We won't leave you by yourself after all you've done for us.
Pito is right. We won't leave you, Ertuğrul Bey.
You are good people. However, their quarrel is with me.
My road is rugged. You won't make it.
-Go to your loved ones. -No...
This is my fight.
Show us how to fight, Ertuğrul Bey, so that when we find our families,
we can protect them.
This is our fight too, now, Ertuğrul Bey. If it weren't for you,
-we'd be galley slaves our whole lives. -You saved our lives.
-We won't leave you. -Yeah.
They have horses. They will find us in no time.
We can't escape.
If you want to stay by my side...
-Yes. -We do.
...then we will ambush them.
Ambush? How?
How can we do that?
We will lure them in.
None of us even have a sword.
Sometimes a rock is better than a sword.
Know that every rock you throw will sever a link from the chain of captivity.
It will bring us one step closer to liberty.
-Yes, that's right. -It's true. Yes.
-We won't be held captive. -Yeah!
-We won't be belittled! -Yeah!
-We won't surrender. -Yeah!
We will show courage against cruelty,
-and fight for liberty against captivity. -Yeah!
-We'll do it, yeah! -We will.
"The sultan's crown depends upon the vizier's pen.
If the ink runs dry, his rule will come to an end."
What a nice saying by the Seljuks' grand emir, Nizâmülmülk.
Alas...
his end was grim.
Speak, Göktuğ.
Dündar Bey is on his way, Your Eminence. He is coming before you.
He must have managed to persuade his tribe if he is coming so quickly. Good.
Send word to Bahadir Bey immediately. Call him also.
They'll be introduced to Dündar Bey and will talk of the agreement.
-So soon, Eminence? -We have no time to lose.
The caravans from Konya and Kayseri are already on their way.
The bazaar must be sold fast and order must be established.
It should be formed so that the bazaar may grow.
Yes, my emir.
They can't have gotten far.
The tracks lead in this direction. He is not alone. Someone else is with him.
They must have headed towards the escaped slaves. Be cautious.
Don't forget that we are after one of the fiercest Turkish warriors. Move out.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Are the horses ready to ride to Aslıhan's tribe, Halime?
Word will be sent when they are.
Neslihan.
Speak your mind, my daughter.
You are the wife of Süleyman Shah, the pillar of the Kayi Tribe, Mother.
The storms you have weathered, the typhoons you have withstood...
You've held our tribe, our marquee together.
So, how can you not stand against Dündar Bey's decision?
Look, my daughter.
Dündar Bey is the pillar of our marquee, the bey of our tribe.
He has made a decision so that we don't fall apart.
Mother, we came to these lands to make them our own,
not to abandon them.
We spilled blood, gave our lives for these lands.
We worked for it.
We have hope for it.
Ertuğrul lies in the tribe's burial ground, Mother.
We can't leave.
What do you think my goal is? I'm only thinking of you.
My girl, don't you see that we are heading for the worst?
Besides, Dündar isn't like Süleyman Shah or Ertuğrul.
They are experienced and have been through a lot.
Dündar is young.
He is not fit to endure such circumstances, don't you see?
We've got you, Mother. We have us.
We will carry the burden of the world if need be.
-Right? -Oh, my girl!
You don't get it, do you?
With Ertuğrul gone, this is no longer our home, but a foreign land.
Mother!
And...
And don't be hasty.
I've spoken to Dündar. He will send word to his brothers.
He will call them here so that we may be together.
How can you trust in that outcome, Mother?
Neither Sungurtekin Bey nor Gündoğdu Bey
will leave the lands they made their home for so many years, and come here.
We need to get to Aslıhan as soon as possible.
She needs us.
These ashes will stop the blood flowing from your wound, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you, Pito.
-Fasten the rags securely. -Okay.
Sharpen the ends of the branches.
The resulting pikes will pierce the enemy's chest.
Why are you crying?
When I was captured by Simko, I gave up. I gave in to slavery.
Thanks to you, I've summoned the courage to return to my kids.
God bless you, Ertuğrul Bey. May He return you to your loved ones.
We will fight without giving up hope in God.
Know that He is by our side.
-God bless you. -God bless you, Ertuğrul Bey.
Permission to enter, my bey.
Enter.
What is this chest, my bey?
The real spoils of the war, my lady.
This will secure our legacy
Permission to enter, my bey.
Yes, enter.
Emir Sadettin has sent word. He's asking to see you.
What could he want?
-Okay. Get ready. -Yes, my bey.
They said that Emir Sadettin knew how to fill a chest.
They were right, my bey.
It's clear he has given you this to help in your role as bey of the frontier.
Emir Sadettin is just our guarantee, Karaca.
We are more powerful than both Aslıhan and the Kayis.
From now on...
we will crush whoever crosses our path.
Your way is our way, your strength is our strength, my bey.
Just as I stood by you in bloody wars, hard days and difficult resettlements...
I am with you in this to the end.
After I return from the emir, I will sit down and talk with the beys
and convince them to attend a gathering.
You talk with the women of the tribe.
Get them on our side.
Don't worry about me, my bey.
No woman will stand by Aslıhan.
My good fortune, my marquee's throne, my Karaca.
It is high time we became the bey and hatun of all the Cavdars.
Come now. Godspeed.
Godspeed, my bey.
We will find Ertuğrul.
He is our only salvation.
Ares picked up on our tracks, Simko. He's found out who you are.
Either we get our gold and get the hell out of this place,
or they take us down one by one!
Look here!
We find Ertuğrul and twe get our gold,
because Simko never backs down,
never gives up and never fails!
We will be swimming in gold, the likes of which we've never seen before.
The finest food in the world,
the finest wine and the finest women will be ours.
Understand? Understand?!
Hurray for gold! Hurray for Simko!
Come here.
Get on your horse and go to Antheus.
Tell him to gather his men and send them here. Go.
I'll find you, Ertuğrul.
I swear I'll find you.
They went this way.
Let's go.
I left trails everywhere, just as you asked, Ertuğrul Bey.
Sooner or later, they will fall into our lap.
Good job.
It's time. Keep your eyes on the enemy at all times.
Think not of death, but life.
Not of fear, but of returning to your loved ones.
Now, everyone hide in the positions I assigned.
Hide yourselves so that when they come,
we might come down on them like thunder when they least expect.
Come on.
-Come on, hurry. -Come on.
My bey, may God watch over us all.
Thank you.
Come now, you bastards.
The last light you'll see...
will be the one that shines on my sword.
Have you persuaded your tribe, Dündar?
Artuk Bey is opposed to the bazaar and matters of immigration.
He accuses me of betraying my brother's cause.
How dare he!
What does he want?
He has asked for a gathering of beys. He wishes to be bey himself.
Well, well, well! Isn't that Artuk Bey insolent!
After the death of Ertuğrul Bey, he finds in himself the desire
to be a bey after all.
All the while, the son of Süleyman Shah resides among us.
Don't you worry. I am behind you.
Thank you, Your Eminence.
I have no doubt.
So why do you hesitate?
My mother can't bring herself to leave these lands.
She wants my brothers to come.
Dündar, do you think your brothers would abandon the lands
they earned with their valor and loyalty to the sultan?
Don't worry.
When she reunites with her sons, Hayme Hatun's troubles will cease.
Your Eminence, Bahadir Bey is here.
Let him come.
Bahadir Bey, brother of the deceased Candar Bey.
Dündar Bey, son of the deceased Süleyman Shah.
I had the honor of meeting your father.
I am now honored to meet his valiant son.
Thank you, Bahadir Bey.
Everyone knows of your valor in the war.
Come, sit.
-The tracks are fresh. They walk this way. -They must be right ahead.
Let's see if you are everything they say you are.
They're coming, Ertuğrul Bey.
Let them, Pito.
We will not let the deaths of innocents be in vain.
We will make them spit blood.
Go now.
The Kayi have duly run the Hanlı Bazaar.
Dündar Bey also managed it as much as he could.
However, this is business.
When things weren't going well, he expressed the desire to sell it.
We know of the honesty of the Kayi.
The decision that Dündar Bey made must be with good intent.
Thank you, Bahadir Bey.
We thought that this was for the best of our tribe.
I would vouch for both of you equally.
One of you is resolved to make this their land,
and the other to sell and move on.
It falls upon you both to come to an agreement and help each other out.
There's no need to get strangers involved in this matter, Dündar Bey.
It is best to agree among ourselves.
And with this deal, we will fortify the friendship of the Kayis and Cavdars.
First, the gathering of beys must be held, and I must be chosen as bey.
If it's for the best, it must be so.
Still, present your hand so that we may see your loyalty as a bey.
With God's permission, after you become bey,
I wish to buy the Hanlı Bazaar, Dündar Bey.
Know that I will pay what it is worth.
With God's permission, as soon as I become bey, the bazaar is yours.
May it be for the best, my beys. May God allow you to honor your word.
-With your permission, Your Eminence. -The permission is yours, Dündar Bey.
A lot of people are out to get you. You should be with your tribe.
I will come and visit you tomorrow. Make preparations.
It would be an honor to welcome you into my tent, Your Eminence.
Tent?
What's the marquee for, then?
Aslıhan Hatun won't welcome us into her tribe, Your Eminence,
so she continues to keep us in a tent.
By my orders, that is your land. Who does this Aslıhan think she is?
You will prepare a worthy feast tomorrow at the marquee for us.
I will come too.
Let this Aslıhan see who is the one with the power.
May I take my leave then, Your Eminence?
You may.
Göktuğ.
Tell Ares that Bahadir and Dündar have agreed.
Yes, Your Eminence.
It's a trap. Kill them!
Why don't we go after them too, my lord? Ertuğrul is alone.
-It would be easy to finish him off. -We don't know exactly where they are.
And we can't draw more attention and get in more trouble.
Ertuğrul is heavily wounded.
He can't take on both Mihalis and the reinforcements I sent after him.
More importantly, Marya will tell me where Simko sent Ertuğrul.
Mihalis and his men are great warriors.
To this day, they have killed many people and raided many caravans
without suffering any losses.
-Mihalis will return with Ertuğrul's head. -What if Ertuğrul manages to survive?
He will come at us like an arrow let loose.
That's why I gathered you here.
If Ertuğrul finds out that I set him up and returns to his tribe,
then war will be inevitable.
We cannot leave it to chance. Let the preparations begin.
-As of now, we are in a state of war. -Yes, my lord!
Hasten the reinforcement of the walls.
Recruit men from the villages by force if necessary.
I want all preparations completed within three days.
-Every soldier in the fort must be ready. -Yes, my lord!
Don't forget, our first aim is to kill Ertuğrul before he reaches his tribe.
If we don't succeed, a bloody war with the Turks awaits us.
What did you do, Ertuğrul Bey? You needed that man alive.
Burn in hell, Turk! You will die before you learn anything!
Welcome. Welcome, Hayme Hatun!
Welcome.
Mother Hayme, welcome! Welcome, Hayme Hatun!
Welcome. Welcome, Hayme Hatun!
-Welcome. -Take the reins.
Welcome.
-Welcome, Halime Hatun. -Welcome.
Welcome to my tribe.
Mother.
I'm happy to be here, my girl.
Halime.
We heard of your situation and came at once.
I am very thankful. I know you won't leave me alone.
Come.
Those are Ertuğrul Bey's wife and mother.
It shows.
Aslıhan Hatun has already begun the fight against Bahadir Bey.
This fight will cost many lives, Karaca Hatun.
May God protect us from the evil of raging women.
