THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
My mother must be crying a lot at the marquee, Marya.
You will soon get back to your tribe.
Ares will not let me go.
Weren't you an alp? Do alps surrender?
Ertuğrul Bey's son, Gündüz, never surrenders.
Good for you.
People sometimes do things they don't believe in, but for good reason.
You must be nice to Ares.
Why are you helping me?
Because you remind me of my brother.
What happened to him?
Some merciless people killed him.
But I won't let anything happen to you.
When I get out of here, I will avenge your brother too.
I have to go now. I will come back later.
Eat your food.
My God, let my father come and rescue me.
Don't let my mother and Grandmother worry too much.
Let me see your face, Günküt.
Good, good.
Let me take a look, Bamsi.
Bamsi?
Put down your hands.
Well, would you look at my alp.
Why do you laugh so heartedly? Look at your own moustache.
I'm not ashamed of my moustache that I would hide it like you.
Günküt!
You know I cut off the tips of that moustache before.
When this is over, I'm going to pull them out one by one.
One by one!
That's enough, Bamsi.
You both shaved like you're meant to.
You have its roots. It will grow back.
I hope so, my Bey.
I hope it grows back in no time.
It will Bamsi, God willing.
Come on, to the horses.
My Bey.
What will Hafsa Hatun say when she sees me like this?
I fear she might frown until it grows back.
You're going to go back to the tribe looking like that.
And you're the head alp. They will see you like this.
That should be your main concern.
You cut your beard for our duty.
For our duty, we always do what is necessary without considering
what others might think, right?
Right, my Bey. Duty is what matters the most.
Good for you, my man.
-To the horses. -All right.
My God, help me.
Please.
Marya, is the kid all right?
He is so small, Commander Kostas.
Don't be weak, Marya. He is very valuable to us.
Don't worry.
Oh, Sancar. You couldn't kill that dog.
I hope your life is safe.
My Bey... Calm down, my Bey.
If anything had happened, Turgut would've said something.
-Permission to enter, my Bey. -Come in.
My Bey. Sancar Bey...
he is wounded.
Wounded?
Is he all right?
They dressed his wounds, my Bey. He is all right for now.
My God.
And Turgut?
Did Turgut see his face?
He did not, my Bey.
He did not.
There, my Bey.
Sancar Bey is all right. And Turgut didn't see who he was.
Hatun, do you think these things are so easy?
Even if they didn't see Sancar's face, they will suspect us.
They will be watching us.
They might even...
make a move against us.
We didn't get what we hoped for.
Now we must do whatever we can so they do not to suspect us.
That's why I am going to visit Aslıhan and Turgut.
Then I will go see Sancar without anyone knowing.
Somebody is coming. Get ready.
Ertuğrul Bey.
Ares' courtesan Marya knows where they are keeping Gündüz.
Bamsi Alp, you were right.
What you said was useful. Thank you.
You're welcome.
You keeping your eye out helped us, Bamsi.
You once again proved that you deserve to be head alp.
Thank you, my Bey. Thank you.
Then we talk to Marya.
I found Marya's quarters, my Bey. We can go right away.
Only Bamsi will come with us.
With God's grace, if we get Gündüz and get out...
we will be out of the fort
before the doors are opened.
And the next time we go there...
it will be to conquer the fort with God's permission.
Hopefully, my Bey.
You...
lie in wait at the market and the gates.
-As you wish, my Bey. -Give us your blessing, men.
-It is yours. -It is yours, my Bey.
I hope you come with your son.
Thank you.
Permission to enter.
Come in.
Selamunaleykum.
Aleykumselamun.
Why have you come, Bahadir Bey?
You were eating, apologies.
However...
I heard something.
Ertuğrul Bey's son was kidnapped.
He was.
However...
our bey will retrieve Gündüz in one piece, sooner or later.
Hopefully.
If there is anything I can do to aid you in this...
I am ready to do it, that is what I came to say.
Thank you, Bahadir Bey.
There is no need for now.
There might have been...
some unpleasant dealings among us.
But...
a boy's life it at stake here.
In situations like this...
hostilities are left behind.
If there is anything I can do...
I will be in my tent.
Good night.
Thank you.
Door.
By kidnapping Ertuğrul's boy...
we have greatly shaken Ertuğrul and the Turks.
We will continue to do so until they fall.
Up next is Bahadir Bey.
We will pull him into our ranks and help him to get his tribe back.
Ertuğrul will not like that at all.
And it will cause a stir among the Turks.
That's exactly what I want.
Then it's up to you, Titan.
What is?
Call your men, get them here.
We will watch what goes on among the Turks from here.
We will make our moves accordingly.
I hope these moves turn into big slaughters.
They definitely will.
When they start fighting among themselves we will destroy them all.
You don't have to worry about us.
Me and my men have been longing to shed Turkish blood.
Just tell us
when, where and what to do.
Then...
get on your walls...
and watch the blood that flows from Turk camps with pleasure.
To our holy empire and cause.
Here, Ertuğrul Bey.
Who is it?
Tekfur Ares sent me.
What do you want?
Marya.
What are you up to?
What do you mean?
I know you have been secretly talking to Ertuğrul's alps.
You are out of your mind.
Why did you tell them that you were...
working for that dog Simko?
What are you after, Marya?
Talk to me.
You came here uninvited. Get out!
Ares will punish you.
I don't think so.
Ares will kill you if he finds out that you have been
whispering into alps' ears, you know that right?
Tell me.
Why did you talk to the alps?
Either you talk now...
or I will tell Ares what I know.
Come on.
God damn you all!
He will kill that innocent boy just like he killed my brother.
Enough, I can't take it anymore.
Damn you...
and that scum that is your lord!
Yes.
Damn him.
Ertuğrul Bey!
Where is my son, Marya?
God has answered my prayers.
I will take you to him.
Just avenge my brother.
Halime Hatun!
Hafsa!
I asked the alps, still no word from Ertuğrul Bey.
Mother...
Still no word.
How will I live if something happened to Gündüz?
My girl, my beautiful girl...
hope for the best.
My Ertuğrul will find him and bring him to you.
Don't you lose hope.
You are right, mother.
What can I say, I can't make my heart listen.
My Ertuğrul and my Gündüz are at that forsaken fort.
Every minute they don't return, It eats me up inside.
God willing, they will return in one piece.
You need to be strong.
Trust in God.
Okay?
My dear God...
please let them return to the tribe in one piece.
God willing. God help us.
This way.
Ares asked me to look after Gündüz at night. He won't call for me.
He doesn't want anyone to know that Gündüz is at the fort. He increased security.
Where are the guards, Marya?
There are two at the door.
And his special guards are on patrol,
his best warriors, the soldiers who are closest to Ares.
Be careful.
-Bamsi. -Yes.
I will go with Marya.
Watch out for the guards, watch my back.
Yes, my Bey. Yes.
Do not engage with them unless necessary.
Let's go, Marya.
Tekfur Ares wants to see the boy right away.
Who is this?
Gündüz...
Father!
Am I dreaming?
It is not a dream, my boy.
I came to take you home.
You taught me that a Turk doesn't surrender,
and I never did.
I did not bring disgrace upon you.
Well done, my boy.
Ertuğrul Bey,
the sun is about to rise, the gates will be opened. Hurry.
all right.
Come on, my boy.
This is yours from now on.
Take it. You deserve it.
Protect yourself if need be.
This is the day, father.
If enemies should befall me
I will hit my first one with this.
You will, my boy.
You will.
Come.
Alert Tekfur Ares.
Ertuğrul is in the fort.
Ya Allah!
Marya! Are you all right?
Are you all right, Marya?
I'm fine.
Ertuğrul Bey,
You go.
I...
I will take care of myself.
Avenge...
my brother.
I give you my word, Marya.
I will avenge your brother.
Come on, son.
The light of my dark eye
Atop the mountain that lies dark ahead
My son
May your wings never break
May your rivers never run dry
Mighty Lord,
for the sake of the prophet Muhammed...
please spare my Gündüz.
Spare him.
My dear God, help us.
God damn it!
What happened here?
Marya!
She's hurt! Send for the healer at once!
Gündüz!
We need to pass the soldiers at the gates before the ones in the fort come.
Come on.
Alert all the guards!
Hold all the gates! Hurry!
-What's going on, Niko? -Not Niko.
Atsız!
Hide my boy, hide!
Protect yourself, Gündüz!
Kostas.
All the wine I've drunk since morning has not eased the pain.
Give me some good news that may help.
My lord...
They took Gündüz.
What do you mean, they took him?
What are you saying?
My lord, they killed the men in the hallway.
I ran to the dungeon but...
he wasn't there.
Have you lost your mind, what are you saying?
Where is Marya?
Marya is wounded, my lord. They took her to her room.
Ertuğrul has come to save his son.
Close the gates.
Alert the men, don't let them out.
Why are you just standing there, go!
Door.
Ertuğrul!
I will not let you win this time...
no matter the cost.
Father!
Come, son.
Come on.
Thank you.
I told you if Ertuğrul leaves, he wins.
I can't let that happen.
Run to the gates, don't let them out.
They penetrated the deepest corners of my fort,
killed my men and left.
Ertuğrul will pay for this.
Ertuğrul broke the peace, Ares.
Goddamn the peace!
It is time for blood!
Close the gates!
No one goes out!
The war with the Turks has begun!
Yah!
My girl...
My girl, this is eating you up.
Come, sit a little.
How can I sit, mother?
There's still no word.
I cannot stay sat in this tent.
I cannot rest until my Ertuğrul and my Gündüz are back.
My dear God,
let them come to their tribe in one piece.
The kettledrum.
I hope they're signaling good news.
God willing.
My God.
Ertuğrul Bey brings Gündüz!
Rejoice, Ertuğrul Bey is back.
Gündüz!
Gündüz! My son!
Ertuğrul Bey is back!
Welcome, my Bey.
Mother, I'm back.
Welcome, my Gündüz.
My Gündüz.
You are all right, aren't you?
Those fiends didn't do anything to you, did they?
Don't worry, Mother, your son made them sorry.
Good for you.
My Gündüz.
Grandmother.
I'd die for you.
Oh, my dear.
Oh, my dearest.
Ertuğrul.
Oh, my dear.
Welcome.
It's nice to be back.
My Gündüz.
I'd die for you.
My son.
God bless you.
You gave us the joy of reunion.
I was burning up inside, my Bey.
But now that I see you in one piece...
I wouldn't be sad even if the world fell.
You gave me the biggest of joys.
From now on, the fire in your heart will subside, Halime.
Their fire will begin.
The enemy...
can take nothing from us with traps.
To the fiends who rage to rid us of these lands...
we have no son to give them.
We have not an inch of land to give them.
Evil has revealed its face.
Conquest has become necessary to keep order.
From now on, swords will be drawn...
and until the order of evil is destroyed...
they will not be put away.
Allahu akbar!
