I'll give you good news, madam
May your mountains
Stand tall
Your tree that has a shadow
Should not be cut down
May your water that flows like blood
Never dry out
May your wings
Never fall apart
May your white horse never stumble
When it's galloping
He's finally asleep!
Savcı will be just like Gündüz. That boy just won't stop!
Praise be.
You should have seen Ertuğrul. He gave us such a hard time!
Alçiçek?
Where is Gündüz?
He said he was sleepy, Halime Sultan.
He's taken off his alp clothes.
He never takes those off. Where is the boy?
His cap is here too.
No, Mother. That's not a good sign.
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go look for Gündüz, or I won't feel at ease.
Wait, don't start worrying.
You go, I'll look after Savcı.
Who knows what kind of mischief he's up to.
-I'll come with you, Halime Sultan. -Alçiçek.
Check around the well. I'll check the training ground.
-Of course, Halime Sultan. -Hafsa, come on.
My dear God.
Aren't you done with the wheel yet?
I'm talking to you!
Nearly done.
Who are you?
So you'll bring up as your own the son of a great Turk like Ertuğrul.
You really are a commander who deserves to be a holy knight.
Excuse us for a moment, Marya.
Is what I just heard true, sir?
He wouldn't dare attack my castle when I have his son.
If he does, he'll pay for it with the life of his son.
Tell me, did you speak with Bahadir?
Bahadir Bey said he will host you in his tent when the time comes.
In his own tent?
Do you know what that means, Kostas?
Bahadir is planning to raid Aslıhan's tent and take over her tribe.
How will he do that while Ertuğrul is around, sir?
They'll suck each other's blood, Kostas. Isn't that enough?
Hey, I'm talking to you. Show me your face.
I'm your death!
-Damn it. -Arrows!
God is the greatest! God is the greatest!
God is one.
Come on, my lions! Come on!
Finish off those heathens with your swords. It's time for a battle.
Your swords won't go back into their sheaths without blood on them!
God is the greatest!
God is one!
My God, my God.
He's nowhere to be seen. Where can he be?
We'll find him, Halime Hatun. Try to calm down.
Hafsa, he never stops. Don't you know that?
Who knows where could have got to.
-We'll find him-- -Alçiçek!
He's not here, Halime Hatun.
We went all the way down to the well. We looked everywhere.
All the way to the gate.
He's gone. God forbid, I even looked in the well.
He's not at the training ground.
I have this fear in me, Hafsa.
Let's tell the guards. Get them to look for him.
He's a child, he'll be hiding somewhere.
Alçiçek, let the guards know they must look for Gündüz.
This doesn't bode well. Let my mother and Artuk Bey know.
Hafsa, let's check the back of the training ground. Come on.
-What happened? Did you find him? -He's nowhere to be found, Mother Hayme.
Halime Hatun and the alps are looking for him.
I can't just sit here.
I'll go look for him too.
-Don't leave Savcı's side. -Yes, Mother Hayme.
Where are you, flying horse?
Gündüz Alp? What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
You should go, you can't be here.
I can't leave you here. You're away from the tribe.
No, you should go. I'm looking for the flying horse.
What do you mean, Gündüz? A flying horse?
Darius!
What are you doing here?
Tell him to go away so that I can see the flying horse, Darius.
Gündüz. Run home.
Why are you saying that?
Just do what I tell you, Gündüz. Gündüz, run home!
You scoundrel. So you're biting the hand that feeds you?
Murderer.
Gündüz!
I'm here, Samsa Alp, I'm here!
Gündüz!
Brother!
Brother? Brother!
What happened to you? Who did this to you? Tell me.
My God.
Samsa! What's going on here?
I don't know, Halime Sultan. I found our alp here, wounded.
Alp, what happened? Who did this to you?
-Darius. -Darius?
Gündüz.
Darius took Gündüz.
What do you mean he took Gündüz?
Gündüz!
-Gündüz! -Halime Hatun.
What are we going to do now?
You couldn't escape us even if you hid in the seventh layer of Hell.
You... Who are you?
Son of Suleyman Shah, Ertuğrul.
Ertuğrul?
You... So you were on his side all along? How did I miss that?
Your mind isn't capable of comprehending our strength.
Don't exhaust yourself. You've got a great deal to tell us.
What will we do with him, my Bey?
We'll question him first, Bamsi.
We'll raid the castle tonight. Let's find a cave to hide in for now.
We'll question him there.
Collect the clothes that are in good condition from the dead soldiers.
-Take this degenerate. -As you command, my Bey.
Halime Sultan, it's too dangerous here.
-You should go back. -What are you talking about, Samsa?
How can I go back before we've found Gündüz?
Alps! Alps! Go back right away.
Gündüz has been abducted. It was Darius.
They've taken my son. They've taken my Gündüz!
Halime Hatun, we'll find him. We will.
I'm not going anywhere until I find him. Alps!
-With me! -Come on.
Gündüz!
Where's the loyal servant of Governor Ares going?
Let me go! Let me go!
It's not that easy. You've to become a great knight first.
Let me go. Let me go!
But we have to train you first.
Let me go.
My father will destroy you and Ares. Let me go!
First, he'll have to save you from me.
Murderer. You killed our alp. My father will catch you.
Let go of me!
Let me go.
-Let me go. -Get inside.
Let me go.
Halime!
Gündüz!
-Halime! -Mother!
They've taken my Gündüz, Mother.
-They've abducted my Gündüz. -I know. I know.
Don't worry, we'll find him.
Our Alps have the place surrounded. They have nowhere to hide.
-We'll find him. -We'll find him.
-I hope so. -We will.
Gündüz!
Artuk Bey.
Artuk Bey, that devil Darius has taken Gündüz.
Is there any trace of him?
He's already escaped, Halime Sultan. But he left his horse.
-So he can't go far. -He can't, Hayme Hatun.
All right. Why do you think he has taken my Gündüz, Artuk Bey?
In my opinion, Governor Ares has something to do with this.
He ordered him to kidnap Gündüz.
There will be no peace for any of us until that degenerate dies.
I'm not going back until I find my son.
No one's going back.
Yağız Alp!
Find Ertuğrul Bey quickly. Tell him what's happened.
Right away, Artuk Bey.
-We'll keep searching. Alps! -Come on, Alps!
Alps!
-Come on, Alps! -Gündüz!
May I enter, Bey?
Come in, Oğuz.
You asked for me, Chief Alp Turgut.
From now on, you'll stay at my side in Cavdar tribe.
As you command, Chief Alp Turgut.
Now, I have a mission for you.
I sent Kırca Alp after Bahadir. However, I haven't heard from him for some time.
-Look everywhere for him. -As you command.
We've hunted and trained, just as you ordered.
We've sharpened our swords with our anger.
We're all waiting to hear your orders so that we may obey them.
My brave Alps!
We have piled up heads upon heads in so many battles.
No army can stand in our way.
And now... a few scoundrels...
aim to take our rights away from us.
They think we're weak and won't put up a fight.
Will we let these fools get the better of us?
We won't!
No one can run us down.
Now... it's time to
gut our enemies and have their blood flow as rivers.
We'll ride into that tribe with our swords unsheathed
and take back with blood what is ours.
We'll take it with blood!
-With blood! -With blood!
So you were following us?
Kırca is escaping!
Get him!
Go after him!
Gündüz!
-Gündüz! -My Gündüz Bey!
Gündüz!
-My Gündüz Bey! -Gündüz!
-Gündüz. -My Gündüz Bey.
-Gündüz! -My Gündüz Bey!
-Gündüz!
-My Gündüz Bey!
-Gündüz!
-My Gündüz Bey!
My Bey.
-Bey, we found something. -What is it?
-Tell me. -Follow me.
Good.
Come on, hurry.
Do you know who I am?
The emperor will have his revenge.
You'll pay a heavy price for what you've done.
Your emperor sent a lot of men to fight me.
I killed every one of them.
You think he'll save you?
Now answer my question.
Will other armies come?
Bigger armies will come. Greater than you could ever imagine.
You'll be destroyed.
Our vengeance will follow you wherever you go.
All the armies...
in the world could come after us.
To fight the Turks on the steppe...
is nothing like playing games behind castle walls.
We turned these lands into our home with our blood.
We're here until doomsday.
What did you gain by killing those soldiers and capturing me?
What do you think you can do?
Your emperor sent those soldiers to Karacahisar to fight us.
We will enter Karacahisar disguised as those soldiers.
You won't be able to. You can't.
Tomorrow...
when I get the head of that traitor Ares,
everyone will see if I can or not.
You'll take that head...
and tell all of Nicaea of my victory.
My Bey! Bey, he's here!
Stop.
The dog of Aslıhan... and Turgut Alp.
Your owner sent you after us.
And you were going to report back to him?
Do whatever you want. I'm not scared of you.
They say there's no point in fearing your own death, Kırca.
Don't worry. We'll take over the tribe.
Maybe,
your Hatun and your commander will come after you.
You think you can take the tribe where Ertuğrul humiliated you and had you kneel?
You can't do anything.
My Ertuğrul Bey and Turgut Alp will avenge my death.
They'll humiliate you and make you kneel again.
This time you won't be able to save yourself
from Ertuğrul Bey's sword.
Shall we ride into the tribe carrying this dog's head, Father?
When there are more important heads for us to take,
there's no point taking this one.
Now... it's time to take back our tribe.
Wait for my word.
These are the tracks we found, my Bey.
They lead up to that cave.
I hope they're there.
Let's be quick, Artuk Bey. There's no point in waiting, come on.
-My God. -In the name of God. Come on.
-Gündüz! -Gündüz!
Gündüz!
Why does the sultan want to talk to me, Göktuğ?
I don't know, Eminence.
His servant will come and tell us.
He must have found out.
If Ertuğrul found out about priest's cave,
he'll suspect you were responsible for what happened to Turgut Alp and Aslıhan.
Worse than that,
they'll hold me responsible for our sultan being poisoned.
Eminence,
we have to prevent Ertuğrul getting a message to the sultan with his suspicions.
Ertuğrul is not so stupid that he would
communicate such a sensitive matter to the sultan by writing to him.
He'll want to tell the sultan about his suspicions face to face.
Eminence. Our Sultan is waiting for you.
I have received information from my scouts, Sadettin.
What's wrong, my Sultan?
An attempt was made to poison Aslıhan Hatun and Turgut Alp.
How dare they?
What is the motive for such a despicable act?
Maybe to weaken a margrave
as strong and brave as Ertuğrul, my Sultan.
My Sultan, the news you have received
and the evidence I have collected match perfectly.
Which evidence, Sadettin?
I have no doubt
that the traitors who cooperated with the emperor are in Konya.
Don't you dare
cast aspersions upon the people I have in my palace, Sadettin.
I will not tolerate such behavior!
I know who it was the traitors cooperated with
to poison you and trap Ertuğrul Bey.
I have their names.
Kırca hasn't returned. Where could he be?
It's not a good sign that he's failed to come back.
I've sent Oğuz Alp after him.
-Do you think something's happened to him? -That's what I'm afraid of.
That demon Bahadir is capable of anything.
He's breathing fire, he wants blood. There's nothing he won't do.
-Can I come in, Turgut Alp? -Come in.
Turgut Alp, I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find Kırca Alp.
No one has seen him.
How's that possible?
Aslıhan.
I can't just sit here doing nothing. Something's wrong.
I'd better go look for him.
Turgut, wait. Where do you think you're going?
You haven't recovered yet. You have to rest.
Let's send the alps.
I can't sit and hide in our tent, Aslıhan. I have to lead my men.
Turgut.
Please don't go.
Don't worry.
I'll come back to you.
My God, may you protect him.
Who?
Ekaterina.
-Wife of Ural Bey? -Yes.
She was the one
who provided the connection between Nicaea and your palace.
What's your evidence, Sadettin?
A priest who abandoned his religion.
We know he's a skilled herbalist.
I've been told by reliable witnesses that he was known to Ekaterina.
Ekaterina was the one who asked for the poison.
They heard from the traitors in your palace that you were at Hanlı bazaar.
But it wasn't enough for them.
They laid a trap for Ertuğrul Bey.
Where is this Hatun? Find her and bring her to me immediately.
Unfortunately, I've just heard that she's been killed.
The traitors killed her when they realized they'd failed.
They then turned their deadly sights on Aslıhan Hatun.
If you'll let me
I'd like to track down the traitors in your palace.
I'll have this matter resolved within the time I promised you.
Otherwise, living would be a sin for me.
Gündüz!
-Gündüz! -Gündüz!
Does this belong to Gündüz, Halime Sultan?
My son.
My Gündüz.
It's his, Artuk Bey.
That dog was using this place as his hideout.
My God.
Please don't let us go through the pain of losing a child.
I'll kill him with my own hands.
-Halime Hatun, please stop. -Move, Hafsa! Move!
Halime!
Pull yourself together.
I won't let him take my son from me, Mother.
-Get out of my way. -Halime!
-Let go of me! -Halime!
Look at me.
We'll find him. We'll find him.
Calm yourself.
Artuk Bey will let Ertuğrul know.
Now, let's go back to the tribe.
Ertuğrul will find him and bring him back to us.
-This is hell. -It's all right.
It's all right. It's all right, daughter.
It's all right, dear.
