THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
I had these catapults done myself.
They can...
throw rocks weighing ten kantar.
I brought these for you to examine.
I'll level the castle to the ground.
Even if you set a thousand traps for me,
you will not avoid your end.
I've seen our people's resiliency and strength.
I am convinced that those cruel people cannot break us, Mother.
Our people are so devoted, so generous.
Thank God.
You are right, my dear.
They suffer because of the deaths of their loved ones.
But they showed resilience.
Now our job is
to be with them,
and try to
ease their suffering.
Halime, my dear.
We should set up a tent for our sisters to mourn.
We should be with them
to increase their resiliency,
and strength.
Okay, Mother.
Hafsa, my dear.
You should help the women of our tribe with the funerals.
Be with them.
Take supplies to them
for their funeral dinner.
Yes, Mother Hayme.
What should I do, Grandmother?
Come with us to the mourning tent.
The martyrs had children.
They are your siblings now.
Brotherhood and friendship
are important at times like these.
You should be with them now,
and they will never forget this for their entire lifetime.
-Okay, young man? -Okay, Grandmother.
Let's go, then.
We should go set up the mourning tent.
And we will have someone read the Quran for our martyrs.
-Let's go. -In the name of God.
Alçiçek, you should stay with Savcı.
Yes, Halime Sultan.
Come with me.
Get out.
You still look rebellious.
My patience is wearing thin,
I am warning you.
Obey me,
and I will spare your lives.
You are wasting your breath, Bahadir Bey.
We won't obey you, even if we die.
Then...
you will sign your own death warrants, Aslıhan Hatun.
Do you think
that Ertuğrul Bey will not take our revenge?
Do you think that the Sultan won't make you pay for this,
when he learns what you did?
You are the one who signs his own death warrant.
I have never...
revolted against
my state or my margrave.
Ertuğrul Bey said, "We're going to war." and I said "Okay."
I said I will put my alps under his order.
I made those catapults myself.
And then what?
Huh?
Then what?
Ertuğrul Bey
couldn't protect the catapults and his alps from Ares's soldiers.
And I took
the seigniory that I deserve
the right way.
You are lying!
Where were you when our alps were dying?
Where were you?
My duty
was making the catapults.
Ensuring security
was Ertuğrul Bey's duty.
I did my duty perfectly.
But,
Ertuğrul Bey...
couldn't ensure the security.
You are full of lies.
You took advantage of our alps absence when they were at war,
and invaded my tribe.
Enough.
Enough with your nonsense.
How long
were you going to try to prevent my leadership?
I was going to take what I deserve one day.
And it is today.
Ertuğrul Bey will bring you to account.
Turgut.
If I had bad intentions,
wouldn't I kill both of you?
Ertuğrul Bey
will accept my leadership.
Otherwise,
you will all die.
He wants to use us as leverage
to convince Ertuğrul Bey.
We need to find a way out of here.
Aslıhan.
Come near me.
May I come in, Bey?
Come in, Artuk Bey.
Bey,
is that a catapult?
Yes, it is, Bamsi.
Magnificent.
Look at these drawings.
Bey drew how to make one.
It looks like a monster.
Bey,
they look better than the ones Bahadir Bey drew.
Our catapults will not only throw stones.
They will also throw oil barrels,
and we will burn our enemies.
Since they are not handing over the castle to me,
I will burn it to the ground.
They deserved it a long time ago, Bey.
We will start making these catapults without delay.
Time is pressing,
and it's a difficult job.
However,
we have the power to overcome every obstacle, with God's help.
They will see
that their traps and dirty tricks
cannot dissuade us from our holy victory.
May God
help us all.
Amen!
Amen.
You will deal with this personally, Artuk Bey.
I drew everything in detail.
You should start right away.
As you wish, Bey.
Bey, they will not escape from us.
Bey, we will use these catapults
against the heathen.
And if you allow me I would like to throw the first one.
I want to be the first one who burns them.
You will, Bamsi.
You will, God willing.
We are looking forward to it.
Come on, then.
Go and do your duty.

Titan the Hero.
With your victory,
you have honored our castle, our land and our empire.
Welcome, Titan the Hero.
Welcome, my friend Titan.
Ertuğrul took the first blow in this arena of war.
Now it is time to throw him to the lions.
I am going to play a trick on him, and Ertuğrul will be finished.
What's on your mind, Ares?
I sent a letter to Bahadir.
He will lure Ertuğrul into a trap that you will set.
Soldiers, out.
Tekfur Ares
has sent a letter.
Let's see what he says.
What does sneaky Ares say?
He said
he will save me from the trouble of Ertuğrul.
How?
He wants me to invite Ertuğrul
to my tent to talk to him as the Cavdar Bey,
and obey him.
What does that mean?
Why does that heathen meddle in your business?
That means, son...
Ertuğrul
will come here to reach an agreement,
and to save...
Aslıhan and Turgut's lives,
one way or another.
Ertuğrul cannot afford a conflict
in a time of war,
he wouldn't want to shed more blood.
And then what?
But...
Ertuğrul will never arrive here.
They will
set a trap on the road
and kill Ertuğrul.
Ertuğrul will never forgive Bahadir.
He will try to find a way to kill him eventually.
But what is important for us is to make Ertuğrul to go to Cavdar Tribe.
Will he, sir?
He will.
He will go there when he learns Bahadir overtook the tribe.
And I will set a trap for him on the road.
Yes.
When Ertuğrul gets the invitation,
he will use this road to go to Cavdar Tribe.
And you will set your trap here.
I am very grateful to you for giving me the honor of killing Ertuğrul.
I can't leave my castle, Titan.
That's why I am giving this honor to you.
Take a troop with you, full of your best soldiers.
That would be too many.
Ertuğrul is not easy picking, Titan.
I have witnessed that before, and I won't leave it to chance.
It's not that I don't trust you,
but you will do as I say to break the jinx this time, Titan.
As you wish.
I will bring Ertuğrul's head to you.
Nobiscum deus.
May God be with us, Titan.
Nobiscum deus.
These bastards want to set a trap for Ertuğrul Bey.
I cannot leave him alone.
Sancar and Bahadir are so blinded by anger.
We must save ourselves before Ertuğrul Bey comes.
There will be a lot of blood, if we can't stop them.
Almost done, Aslıhan.
We'll escape from the ropes.
In the name of God.
-Turgut. -Aslıhan, go there.
You were like lions in your tent.
Now,
you look like a couple of sheep.
We will kill you,
and your leader, and then...
cut your heads off, and display them in front of the tent,
then you will see
who is the lion, and who is the sheep.
What is it, Son?
You look upset.
We should be the ones who kill that bastard, Father.
Don't you understand that
Ares saved us a lot of trouble?
Our hands will be free of the margrave's blood.
We will not attract the Sultan's anger.
Your mother is right.
Ertuğrul isn't worth getting our hands dirty,
and coming into conflict with our state.
You will
content yourself with Turgut's head.
As you wish, Bey.
Kaya Tekin!
-Yes, Bey. -Now,
go to Kayi Tribe.
Tell Ertuğrul Bey that
I have become the bey of Cavdar Tribe
by gaining approval from all the beys',
and I invite him over to my tent
to talk to him tomorrow.
As you wish, Bey.
How is it going at the armory, Artuk Bey?
Everybody is working hard, Bey.
And I stand over them,
and do whatever it takes to complete them quickly.
-Thank you. -We are all working hard.
We are doing our best, Bey.
We will finish them in time.
Don't you worry.
Thank you, brother.
-Any news on Turgut Alp? -No news, Bey. He hasn't come yet.
I hope he is all right.
May I come in, Bey?
Come in, Dumrul.
You summoned us, Bey.
I've charged you with the duty of watching the castle's gates,
and the road of Nicaea.
Have you seen anybody
going in and out?
We always have our eyes on the gates, Bey.
Nobody has come in or out.
There was no one, Bey.
It is the same at our post, Bey.
Since no one has come out from the gates,
there must be a secret door.
They used that door to go out and attack.
Otherwise,
they couldn't have come near the catapults.
What's on your mind, Bey?
Atsız must have learned something.
If he can,
he will tell us where this secret door is.
But we won't stand idle.
Bamsi.
You will deploy the alps.
They will search for the secret door without letting anybody know.
As you wish, Bey.
If we find it,
all of Ares's hopes will perish.
And then,
he cannot do anything but wait for us to attack.
What do you want, Merchant Niko?
Sir, I am here
to talk about Hanlı Bazaar.
I know, Niko, you are confined to my castle.
You came here for trading, and gold,
but Ertuğrul wanted a war.
I know that
victory will be ours, sir.
I have no doubt about it.
That's why I want to go to Nicaea, and make arrangements
for the new order you will put in place.
I can't afford for you to leave, Niko.
I need you here.
And you are responsible for the castle's gold.
-Sir, we don't know how long-- -Enough!
I said I need you here.
Ertuğrul will die tomorrow.
And you will be my side when he dies.
Then you will become the head of Hanlı Bazaar.
You summoned me, sir.
Pray for us, Niko.
May this war end soon.
My prayers...
are always with you,
-sir. -The door!
Gregoryus.
Use the secret door, don't let any alps see you.
Send this letter to the Emperor.
Thank God.
Hurry.
Thank God.
So, you are trying to escape.
-Aslıhan, watch out. -Alps!
You corrupt...
Aslıhan!
You corrupt...
Turgut.
Let go of me!
Ertuğrul Bey will bring you and your father to your knees again.
But, no one will save your heads this time when you are down.
Do you think your Ertuğrul Bey can come here and save you?
He is already defeated.
Get out of here, Sancar.
Get out!
Don't you say anything!
You got in way over your head!
You set people against each other!
All of this happened
because of your stubbornness,
your ambition for leadership!
Turgut!
No, you will not die easily.
I will torment you so badly...
you will beg me to kill you.
Alps!
Chain them up.
Put a guard to watch over them.
You corrupt...
You will get what you deserve!
Let go of me!
Son.
Mother.
As you command,
we are doing everything we can
for our martyrs' funerals.
Thank you, Mother.
Hereafter, our martyrs' children are my own children.
They will wear the same as my children.
They will eat the same as my children.
We will bring up our children well, Mother.
May God bless you for that, Son.
May God give you a long life.
Thank you, Mother.
Son...
I know you have a heavy burden.
There will be many obstacles on your path.
But our Lord says,
"On no soul does God
place a burden greater than it can bear."
I am walking God's path, Mother.
When I say, "Help me, God",
all my troubles
just go away.
And I pray to God for a way out now.
I believe in him.
God will open that door for me.
Our Lord says,
"With every difficulty,
there is relief."
Your intentions are good.
Your way is God's way.
God will surely show you a way out of this, Son.
Mother.
If you excuse me,
I will go and pray now.
May God accept it.
Amen, Mother.
Merchant Niko.
What are you doing here?
It is not Niko,
it is Atsız.
Good.
This letter will open all the doors for me.
My Lord,
I seek to live for your justice,
and fight for your justice.
Do not let me be
defeated by the enemy, I don't want to let down my tribe or my people.
My Lord,
you can do the impossible.
Make me victorious in this holy war.
You have the power to open all the doors.
Show me a way out of this.
Out of respect to Muhammad the Prophet,
accept my prayers.
With Tekfur Ares's order,
I will take this letter to the Emperor.
Tell me your name.
Gregoryus.
Use the secret door, don't let alps see you.
Send this letter to the Emperor.
Gregoryus.
Okay, you can pass.
May I come in, Bey?
Come in, Bamsi.
Bey.
Bahadir Bey has sent his alp.
He wants to say something to you.
Bahadir Bey?
Where is Turgut, then?
I don't know, Bey, the alp came alone.
Let him come in.
-We will find out. -Yes, Bey.
Let him come in!
Speak.
Ertuğrul Bey, I brought you greetings from Bahadir Bey.
Where is your Bey?
He is at Cavdar Tribe.
Bahadir Bey became the bey of the tribe
by gaining all of the beys' approval.
He invites you to his tent to talk tomorrow.
He became the bey?
What do you mean?
Where are Aslıhan Hatun and Turgut Alp?
Until Bahadir Bey talks to you and you reaches an agreement,
he will hold Aslıhan Hatun and Turgut Alp as captives.
Bey.
Bey, what is he saying?
They hold Turgut and Aslıhan Hatun as captives.
So,
that's why your corrupt bey
ran away from the battlefield.
When we were at the battlefield,
he went to the tribe and overtook it, right?
He betrayed us,
and rose against us.
Go and tell him
Ertuğrul Bey will come to his tent.
But not to reach an agreement.
He will come to bring him to account.
