THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
So... that's why the bastard that is your bey
abandoned us on the battlefield.
When we were fighting on the battlefield,
he went to the tribe and took it, didn't he?
He both betrayed us and rebelled against us.
Go and tell him...
that Ertuğrul bey will come to his tent,
not to make a deal...
but to hold him accountable for the crimes he has committed.
Tell him... he won't get up from his knees this time.
Go.
My Bey, my Bey, that dog
is holding Aslihan Hatun and my brother Turgut prisoner.
We should have held on to him, my Bey.
Even if he is the dog of that bastard, we won't touch a messenger.
Let him go.
Let him go and tell Bahadir what we said.
Let him speak...
so that Bahadir may appreciate the power of the storm brewing against him.
What's happened, my son?
That bastard Bahadir, Mother...
He's keeping Turgut and Aslihan Hatun prisoner at the tribe.
-What? -Fiend, bastard!
What kind of a treachery is this while the battlefield still blazes?
He conspired with Ares, Mother.
He betrayed our state to satisfy his ambition to become bey.
He had a hand in the burning of the catapults, too.
Treachery runs through his veins like blood, Mother.
But, I swear, with my sword...
I will make that treachery flow.
-Bamsı, get ready, we ride. -As you wish, my Bey.
Mother.
Tell Artuk Bey to join the funeral prayer in my name.
He should accompany the families of the martyrs.
You will accompany the women.
Don't worry, son. Don't worry.
Let them not feel our absence.
My God, one disaster follows another...
Grant power and strength to Ertuğrul Bey.
This is the best place to set an ambush on the way to the Cavdar tribe.
When Ertuğrul comes, we'll surround him quickly.
He is not to get out of this ambush alive.
Everybody take their places!
Come now, Ertuğrul Bey.
My sword will finally shine red with the blood of a powerful Turk.
Take my horse.
What's this, Atsiz?
I have important intelligence, Ertuğrul Bey.
There is a secret passage into the castle.
Ares sent a messenger to the emperor with a letter.
I caught the messenger before he left the castle and escaped in his clothes.
-And I also have letter. -Very good.
Everything he was plotting with Bahadir Bey is written down here.
They planned to ambush you. Thank God I got here in time, my Bey.
So that's why he sent a messenger inviting me to come to the tribe.
They were going to ambush me on my way there.
There's no time to lose, Atsiz.
We have to save Aslihan Hatun
and Turgut Alp from this bastard as soon as we can.
Then we make him pay.
I know where they set the ambush, my Bey.
-On the road we always use? -That's right.
There's another route to the Cavdar tribe up ahead.
Bamsı, Abdurrahman and I will get to the Cavdar tribe that way.
You will continue on this road and deal with their ambush, Atsiz.
Don't worry, my Bey. We'll trap them in their own trap.
Very good.
Günküt, Dumrul!
After you've finished with Ares' men,
get to the Cavdar tribe as quickly as you can.
Some of you surround the tribe,
the rest of you enter it and be ready.
-As you command, my Bey. -As you command, my Bey.
Atsiz, after you've dealt with the soldiers,
join the alps at the siege.
As soon as we're done at the Cavdar tribe, we'll join you there.
We'll go through the passage when night falls.
This will all be over tonight, Atsiz. Get the alps ready right away.
May God be with us, alps.
Amen, my Bey!
-Come on! -In the name of God!
In the name of God!
I wish the news of Ertuğrul's death would come.
The longer we wait, the more tense I feel.
Why are you tense?
One way or the other, Ertuğrul will die.
You say that, my Bey, but you don't seem that relaxed either.
Something's gnawing at your insides.
If you have something to say, say it, wife.
Stop beating about the bush. Just tell me what it is you want to say.
My Bey, Ertuğrul has the nine lives of a cat.
What if he eludes the ambush and comes here?
What if he realizes it was you and Ares who set it up?
What's done is done, woman.
If he escapes the trap Ares has set, and doesn't recognize my beyhood...
Ertuğrul will meet his death by my own hand.
Come on then.
You won't be able to save yourself this time.
Alps are approaching but Ertuğrul isn't with them.
-What do mean, Ertuğrul isn't with them? -I'm sure I didn't see him, sir.
We checked everyone. Ertuğrul isn't with them.
He must have suspected it was a trap. He sent his alps instead.
He'll go straight to the Cavdar tribe.
-What do we do? -Kill them all.
Bring my horse.
I'll ride to the Cavdar tribe.
Whatever happens, Ertuğrul dies today.
Come with me.
It's one trouble after another.
Whenever we try to achieve something, a thousand misfortunes haunt us.
My Ertuğrul cleared the way for that snake Bahadir,
so that he might walk the right path instead of a crooked one.
But he closed the door on that himself.
Well, he'll pay for it, of course he will.
But why does he keep Aslihan Hatun and Turgut Alp captive
and just sit in his tent, Mother?
What despicable work he has done.
But he'll see.
My Ertuğrul Bey will surely put an end to it this time.
-My Gündüz. -Mother.
Did you talk to your brothers, Gündüz?
I did, Mother. I consoled them.
I told them to come to me if anything was wrong.
Good for you, Gündüz. Good job.
Hafsa, my girl, is everything ready for the funeral meals?
Everything is ready, Mother. The pots are boiling, the food is ready.
All right then, let us go and give our condolences to the people.
Come on, Gündüz, come.
Surrender!
Come on then, you bastards!
Come on, alps!
It's time for battle! No infidel leaves here alive!
In the name of God!
Allahuakbar!
Come on!
Titan isn't among them.
He might close the secret passage.
Bring my horse.
I'll go defend the gate to the passage.
I must stop Titan. I'll wait for Ertuğrul Bey there.
I hope you finish off Bahadir Bey and get back in one piece.
-God willing. -God willing.
Come on!
Ertuğrul Bey still hasn't come.
He'll be here, eventually.
Ertuğrul wanted to destroy our tribe with his games but you put a stop to that.
God willing... I'll put a stop to the ones in Konya, too.
It's time our sultan learned what an ambitious and vindictive man
Ertuğrul really is.
-God willing, my Bey. -God willing, my Bey.
My Bey.
Ertuğrul Bey is nearing the tribe with two of his alps.
Then...
let us welcome our margrave.
After you, Beys.
How did he survive Ares' ambush, Father?
How can this be, my Bey?
We should be welcoming him dead, not alive and well.
Maybe he saw through the trap.
If that's the case, he comes here knowing everything.
Let's just invite him into the tent. Then we'll see.
If he knows everything, my tent will be his grave.
Sancar, whatever you do, don't give away our plan.
Keep a tight hold of your anger.
Otherwise, this tent will be our graves instead.
Understand, Sancar?
-I understand, Father. -Good.
-Kayatekin. -Yes, my Bey.
Go keep guard of Aslihan and Turgut.
-Stay alert. -As you command, my Bey.
Neither Ertuğrul nor his alps are wounded. They can't have fallen for the trap.
You must find some way of making him accept you as the bey.
This does not bode well.
If you kill him here, you'll have to take on the sultan, too
You will have rebelled against the state. The penalty will be far harsher.
He didn't send his son into exile, he had him gather the alps to rebel.
He has a death wish, my Bey. We should grant it.
Just look how he carries himself!
He acts like he has an army beside him, not two alps.
Thank you for accepting my invitation and coming to see me, Ertuğrul Bey.
Come in.
We have been preparing for your arrival.
Let's talk and eat a nice meal?
Where are Turgut and Aslihan?
Don't worry about them. They're safe.
Let's have that conversation.
Then we will invite them to eat.
Come in.
Abdurrahman.
-Wait outside. -As you wish, my Bey.
Stay standing.
Now tell me.
What has happened here...
while I was at war,
despite the Cavdar tribe being under my protection?
The tribe had an internal issue... which has now been dealt with.
I took what was rightfully mine.
That's what happened.
Don't worry about Turgut and Aslihan.
After you recognize my beyhood...
I will surrender them to you, Ertuğrul Bey.
What is this beyhood you speak of, Bahadir Bey?
The one you tried to claim by spilling the blood of your own kin?
Did you not know?
Those who come by blood... go by blood!
You didn't even grant us an election
so that I may have taken what is rightfully mine.
You wanted to make the bey someone who is not of our blood!
A couple of insolent men who would not accept my beyhood...
they got what they deserved, that's all.
What about the beys...
loyal to Aslihan Hatun?
Why do you stay silent?
Did Bahadir Bey
tie your tongues with the gold Ares gave him to buy out Hanli bazaar?
Tell me!
What is this, Ertuğrul Bey? We can't be bought.
You are for sale, you violate our rights and customs.
You shame the Cavdar name!
You have violated its honor!
You have sullied Aliyar Bey's cherished memory!
Ertuğrul Bey!
Ertuğrul Bey.
You are here in my tribe, sitting on my seat,
and I have had enough!
I intended to put my alps under your command and fight alongside you.
But you continue to slander me.
What makes you think my spoils of war are Ares' gold?
I will not allow you to insult my beys.
They have shown how low they have fallen,
by betraying their tribe and its traditions.
You should have taken better care of your catapults.
Ares burned them to the ground.
You fell into every single one of the infidel's traps.
But despite all of that...
we still wish to stand by our state and by you.
May everyone in my tribe be my witness.
Recognize my beyhood and we can figure this out peaceably.
First, bring Turgut Alp and Aslihan Hatun here.
Then...
we can talk again about your betrayal and your collaboration with Governor Ares.
Your bey...
has finally arrived.
Thank God. Thank God...
-Where is he now? -In the tent.
He is in council with Bahadir Bey.
In council?
What? Why not?
You should stop guarding us
and think about how you can save your bey's head.
Don't get your hopes up.
He has no choice but to recognize Bahadir Bey's beyhood
and both he and you will play nice.
Or the blood that flows...
and the lives that are lost will be yours.
Kayatekin...
We have known many who have tried to tame us.
But all that's left of them is a stain on our swords.
We're not like anyone else. Haven't you learned that yet, Turgut?
To us, all bastards are the same.
Don't worry. We won't do you any favors.
You will share the same end.
You are not to speak anymore! Understand?
-What collaboration? -You think we're traitors, Ertuğrul Bey?
-What collaboration? -We're not traitors.
The gold for Hanli bazaar has blinded you, beys.
You tried to make a man who collaborated with Ares...
Bey of the honorable Cavdars.
The man responsible for burning the catapults I had built for the siege,
and far worse, for the killing of my alps...
is Bahadir Bey!
He and Ares formed an alliance of evil against our state.
In this letter I hold before you...
Ares explains to his emperor
everything they've done together!
Liar! You slanderer!
The plots he and Bahadir hatched...
how he would ambush me on my way here, how he intended to kill me...
it's all here, in this letter.
Know this, neither asking for mercy nor begging for your lives...
will save you.
Just like Bahadir Bey...
you will pay the price of betrayal.
Lies!
Still you slander me! That letter is fake!
Your denials are for nothing, Bahadir Bey.
I have a spy inside the castle.
The contemptible tricks you and Ares have played
have been revealed, one by one.
I did not betray my state.
Nor will I ever.
But if you keep this up...
know that I will take your head.
All we want is to further the lineage of our fathers.
You cannot stop that.
You have desecrated the path of the honorable Cavdar tribe.
You will pay the price with your lives.
Sancar, stop!
Sancar!
My son.
Ertuğrul keeps the Turk tribes unified.
They are empowered by him.
They are encouraged.
The tribes themselves are weak. They couldn't survive without Ertuğrul.
When Ertuğrul is dead, the Turk tribes will disperse.
That will be our chance to throw them out of these lands once and for all.
What about Hanli bazaar, sir?
It's time we took that over too.
We will attack Hanli bazaar tonight.
We will inflict a second fatal blow on the Turks.
When we return, I will hold a great feast for everyone.
Sir, two of our men are missing.
What do you mean? Where could they be?
I don't know, sir. We couldn't find them anywhere.
I will see to it myself, sir.
You killed my son!
I will kill your family! I will burn down your tribe!
I will put your sons' heads on stakes and plant them in the middle of the tribe!
Die!
I warned you that if you didn't bow to me...
I would take your head, Bahadir Bey.
It's time you paid that price.
My Bey, we surrounded the tribe, as you commanded.
We have it under our control.
-What are your orders? -Good, men.
Take Bahadir Bey's alps' weapons. And tie them up.
-As you command, my Bey! -As you command, my Bey!
Bamsı.
Bring Aslihan Hatun and Turgut Alp to me.
Yes, my Bey.
I swore I would...
take the head of anyone who refused to kneel before me.
One head is already on my sword.
Now, is there anyone else here who refuses to kneel?
Aslihan, are you all right?
Didn't I tell you not to speak? Don't open your mouth again!
What do you think you can do?
-Are you going to cut out our tongues? -You talk too much.
I'm here, brother!
May you accompany your bey to hell.
Brother, hold on. Hold on.
Thank God.
The smell of the bodies led us here, sir.
-We found them like this. -Who did this, Kostas? Who?
Ertuğrul is behind this, sir.
How so?
Are you telling me Ertuğrul has a spy in the castle?
-Yes, sir. -Who is it, Kostas?
Who? Find him!
Question everyone in the castle!
All the new men, everyone! Even the civilians outside! Find him for me!
Yes, sir.
You didn't leave us to die at the hands of that bastard.
Thank you, brother.
Brother, your life is my life! How could I leave you?
Did our bey do away with that dog, Bahadir?
He did, my brother. Yes, he did.
Free Aslihan Hatun and let's go to the tent.
Ertuğrul Bey is waiting for you.
