THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Let me check up on the alps over there.
I'll come with you, Bahadir Bey.
Let's check together.
Suit yourself.
God bless, sir.
Your wound is already healed.
Thank God.
I'll be all right for tomorrow's attack, hopefully.
Hopefully, sir.
-Beys have come from the tribe, sir. -Let them in.
What happened my beys?
We brought news from Bahadir Bey, Sancar Bey.
Ertuğrul is going to attack the fortress tomorrow.
He wanted you to be ready to attack their tribe.
All right.
Tell Bahadir Bey to have full confidence in us.
He may consider both the tribe
and the marquee as his.
Right, sir.
Ertuğrul Bey... Turgut Alp... Aslıhan Hatun...
Keep dreaming about victory.
Just you wait and see our victory tomorrow.
Men!
Prepare everything.
We'll be going to settle in our new camp tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
Come on everybody! Keep it up!
Come on!
Make it all sturdy.
-Leave it to us, sir. -Leave it to us, sir.
Bahadir Bey, you don't need to trouble yourself.
There are enough men to do it.
If I don't do it myself, they won't be able to finish it.
If they see me working,
they'll work harder.
We can't sleep tonight.
We will work till sunrise and finish these.
Look here now!
Give it to me.
You need to pound that nail hard.
So that it gets in nice and clean.
Take it!
You are really good at this.
The name I made for myself in Sultan's army
isn't just for show, Samsa Alp.
Anyway,
the catapults should be ready this evening.
Send a messenger to Ertuğrul Bey with one of your men.
Tell him that
he should come to check these tomorrow.
Sure, Bahadir Bey.
Come now, Ertuğrul Bey.
Come.
The food is ready, Aslıhan Hatun.
Thank you, Bürçe Hatun.
May I enter, Aslıhan Hatun?
Come in, Karaca Hatun.
I've been meaning to see you. I was worried about you.
But I couldn't come due to everything that's happened recently.
Thank you, Karaca Hatun. I'm all right.
We walk in the same path, Aslıhan Hatun.
We fell out with each other, forgetting the real enemy
when instead we should have joined hands together.
Unfortunately yes, Karaca Hatun.
Thank God our husbands found out about the real enemy and united.
It's our duty as their wives to make up as well.
That's why I want to put an end to this hatred between us.
Since the day you came here,
we have gone through quite a lot, Karaca Hatun.
However, I'd like the same as well.
We can't keep this hostility
when our husbands made up with each other.
Sorry for interrupting you at dinner time.
That's all I came to say.
Excuse me. Enjoy your dinner.
Karaca Hatun.
Come, let us eat together.
Bürçe Hatun.
Bring a spoon for our guest.
I see that your tribe is getting ready for war.
You know,
I helped both my father and my husband prepare for many wars.
I can work.
If it's all right with you, I'd like to work here as well.
Thank you, Karaca Hatun.
Your wish made me happy.
Bismillah.
Sir.
I told them what you instructed me to.
However, they wouldn't surrender the fortress.
Then, they'll get what they deserve.
I hope so, Mother Hayme.
What did you see inside, Bamsi?
Sir, they aren't ready yet.
The walls of the fortress are weak.
Since even the walls on the courtyard are not ready,
I believe the walls on the other side are even weaker.
When I got in the fortress, I saw that the southern walls were built badly.
Well, then.
Direct our men to the southern walls.
If there's an opening there, we will have an easier time.
Yes, sir.
As you wish.
Thank you.
Ares is taking measure.
How are things in our tribe, Artuk Bey?
Are the preparations done?
Some of our men at the tribe are on the watch, sir.
And the other half is working at the ironworks all day.
We have the swords, shields, armors, and spears you ordered.
Our women and the elders are helping, as well.
Right.
Continue to prepare food for us while we are in battle, Mother.
As you wish, son.
Leave it to me.
We wrapped the ointments for the injured in coarse linen and sent them, as well.
We have more than enough of everything.
Those at the camp should keep forging weapons.
If we need iron, coal, or anything else
order them at once.
I won't accept apologies later, Artuk Bey.
If it costs too much, pay for it with the marketplace earnings.
As you wish, sir.
Remember.
What wins wars
is not just soldiers clashing on battlefields,
but also those staying behind and working hard.
That's why we will need the help of our women.
If there is a hiccup here
then our men at war will starve,
they will have no weapons
and their wounds won't heal.
If that happens, we can't win the war.
May God help us.
Amen.
May I enter, sir?
Come in.
I came on Samsa Alp's orders.
Bahadir Bey said the catapults would be ready by morning.
That you could come and see any time you wished.
Thank you.
God bless, sir.
Bahadir Bey turned out to be as skillful as they say.
I hope that with this battle he rights his wrongs.
We give everyone a chance to right their wrongs, Halime.
What's important is for the man himself to be willing.
He saw what happens if he keeps walking down the wrong path.
Even then,
it's up to him to change his ways for the better.
We have good news right, Titan?
Of course, Kostas,
especially when there are so many Turks ready to crush each other.
Just what are you after, Ares?
I'll definitely find out.
Where is Governor Ares?
In his room, looking forward to meeting you.
Let us go at once.
Thank you.
Gündüz made an arrow himself today.
He may not be able to fight in the battle,
but he said if his arrow killed an enemy, he'd feel as if he killed him himself.
Bring the arrow over here, son. Let's see how it is.
Wonderful!
Come here.
Fox bears fox, and wolf bears wolf.
My brave sons will be like their father, hopefully.
I hope so, Ertuğrul.
May God bless our holy war.
May your sword be sharp as Zulfiqar.
Thank you, love.
What is a Zulfiqar, Daddy?
Zulfiqar...
is the sword of the prophet Ali, son.
What kind of a sword is it, Father?
Listen, son.
Prophet Ali is
the bravest of warriors.
And Zulfiqar is
the name of the sword
bestowed upon him by prophet Muhammad.
So, is it a strong sword, Father?
Yes, indeed.
It's the strongest sword you could ever see in this world.
After all, one of the two points
symbolizes wisdom, the other, justice.
The sword of a Muslim carries wisdom and justice.
He brings wisdom and justice to wherever he conquers.
That's why, before we go to war, we pray
that our swords may be like Zulfiqar.
So that,
God may let us bring wisdom
and justice to wherever we go.
Then I hope your sword becomes Zulfiqar, Father.
Thank you, son.
It's time for bed now.
Titan, this blow will cripple Ertuğrul before the war even begins.
I hope you can do it without any problems.
All the catapults will burn to ashes
before they rain rocks on our fortress tomorrow.
I'll make sure Ertuğrul is dealt the first blow in this war.
What about...
Bahadir Bey?
When is he going to make his move?
As I burn the catapults and kill Ertuğrul's men,
he will attack the Cavdars and become their leader.
Good.
I have to find a way to get out of here no matter what.
Ertuğrul Bey thinks he trapped me in my fortress.
Let him.
He's no idea what's going to hit him.
I'm the one that trapped him.
I'll show him what real war is like.
I'll leave with my men at sunrise.
Good.
Now go and get some rest, friend.
Tomorrow, we make them pay.
The promised day for us to choke the Turks on their own blood has come.
May God protect you and your soldiers.
-To our victory! -To our victory!
-Welcome to your tribe, Sancar Bey. -Thank you.
How is the situation?
Turgut Alp took our men and departed to siege the fortress.
Aslıhan Hatun is protecting the camp with a handful of soldiers.
It won't be a problem.
Good.
Once my father becomes their chief,
I'll teach those soldiers who they fight for.
What about the guards?
There are four men inside and outside of the camp.
Sir, when you get close to the camp, we'll deal with the guards outside.
Kill whoever tries to resist.
I'll deal with the guards inside.
Aslıhan Hatun called the beys close to her.
She won't be alone at the marquee.
I'll deal with both those beys and Aslıhan myself.
Then, this is our time to shine, sir.
It's time for the Cavdars to be reborn.
It's time for slaughter.
It's only right for us to spill their blood.
We got the horses out through the tunnel and tied them up in the field.
They are well hidden.
Let us go, then.
Return with victory on this path we took to defeat the Turks, Titan.
Victory is ours to take, Kostas.
I need to let Ertuğrul Bey know at once.
Please God, help me.
Who are you?
Isn't that Trader Niko?
-Yes. Why is he here? -Let's get him up.
We must take him to Commander Ares.
Ho!
Traitor! Why are you here?
Surrender yourselves to Bahadir Bey before we kill you.
I won't say it again.
Bastards!
We'd never betray Aslıhan Hatun, nor Ertuğrul Bey.
You made a present of your tribe to Ertuğrul Bey.
You are the real traitors.
Kill them!
We'll head for the camp.
Something definitely happened to Kırca.
I think something is amiss.
We might have few men at the camp,
but we will take precautions.
Our women shall take up arms and defend our tribe from today.
Position eligible youngsters and the elders
somewhere that oversees the camp.
We must be prepared.
It's not just because of our distrust of Bahadir Bey,
but also because we need to be ready for when the emperor sends his forces.
His son is in exile.
Bahadir Bey is not here either.
There can be no threats.
I hope you are right.
It won't hurt anybody to take precautions.
All right, Aslıhan Hatun.
Well done.
We worked without rest in this cold.
But it was worth it.
Look at them!
They all look monstrous.
Balls of fire
will rain down on that dog Ares.
The heathens won't be able to hide.
Men!
Until Ertuğrul Bey arrives,
let's try one of them out.
Come on! Prepare the catapult.
Bahadir Bey.
You worked hard.
Here, please throw the first rock.
Samsa.
You do it.
I want to see it, too.
Of course.
In God's name!
Look at that!
Wonderful!
Cursed Turks!
Burn in the flames of hell!
We will even pierce through the walls of Constantinople with this.
With God's help!
-Isn't that right, Bahadir Bey? -Sure, we will.
However,
let's see if we can pierce this fortress first, shall we?
Do you have doubts, Bahadir Bey?
Ambush!
Sir!
It's an ambush!
Men! Find cover!
Bahadir Bey! Where are you?
That traitor!
Attack!
Protect the catapults until Ertuğrul Bey arrives!
We promised! Remember that.
-Welcome, sir. -Thank you.
Are the Cavdar soldiers in position?
They are all ready.
They'll hold the roads to Nicaea with the help of other tribes.
Nobody will be able to pass, not even the emperor's army.
Well done.
I'd like to see Ares' face when we bring the catapults.
Soon, brother.
That bastard will rot in hell soon.
Come on, everybody.
Let's get going.
Come on, people.
Men! Make a circle!
-What happened? -What is it?
