THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Bismillahirahmanirahim.
Mother.
Come, my brave son.
Come, the light of my eye.
How are you, Mother? Is there anything you need?
Thank God for this day.
What is it, Mother?
Is something the matter?
No, my son.
No, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I know you worry.
But don't you worry.
Well,
I have grown old.
It is almost time...
for me to ride...
the horse of fate to the other side.
Don't say that, Mother.
May God keep you with us.
It is so, my son.
In this world,
I have seen my share of hardship.
Thanks to your father, Suleyman Shah,
and thanks to you,
I have been proud many times.
I finally saw you conquer this castle, too.
If I am to have one last wish,
it would be to see my sons together.
Let me see us...
celebrate our victory altogether.
My Sungur Tekin,
my Gündoğdu,
my Dündar.
Let them come here.
Still, you know what's best, my son.
However,
that is my wish.
Mother,
Just be all right.
I will send a messenger to my brothers right away.
May God look upon you.
May God take from my life
and give to you, my son.
Don't say that, Mother.
Don't say that.
Come on, brave men.
We need to tell Ertuğrul Bey. Come on.
Spies!
Spies! Don't let them get away, go after them.
Commanders, stay here.
Come on.
Everybody look around.
Come on, no time to rest.
We need to get to Ertuğrul Bey to prevent the infidels' plan.
Damn.
Titan!
We can't let him get away.
Ertuğrul will find out everything. We need to get him, dead or alive.
Knights, to your horses.
Are the documents done, Artuk Bey?
Almost, my bey.
We are arranging them all with great care.
Marya Hatun is of great help, praise her.
Good.
Marya Hatun is a clever woman.
She quickly integrated with us.
She did, my bey.
She is eager to learn.
She doesn't have any family.
I wish she would have a home.
Bear children, have a family.
I wish to hand her over to a competent man.
That would be wise, my bey.
Is there someone on your mind?
Yes, Artuk Bey.
You are on my mind.
Me?
Well, my bey,
I don't know what to say.
Artuk Bey,
your home, too, should be filled with your children.
My bey,
all these years, I never thought of getting married.
I dedicated myself to knowledge.
I don't know how this will work.
It will do good. It will be for the best.
Our prophet ordered his ummah
to marry and reproduce.
Marya too has knowledge.
You are the best match for each other.
My bey,
will Marya accept?
She has, Artuk Bey.
Halime Hatun has spoken with Marya Hatun.
If you accept too,
after the celebration,
I wish to...
honor our victory
with your engagement.
Well, if Marya accepts, too...
As you wish, my bey.
Thank you.
May it be for the best then, Artuk Bey.
I am very pleased.
Grandmother,
when will my uncles come?
Your father sent the fastest messengers.
Your uncles will hit the road as soon as they receive the invite.
God willing.
Grandmother,
I never knew my grandfather.
Tell me about him a little.
I wouldn't know how to tell you.
The roads he rode,
the mountains he passed,
should tell you about him.
He didn't give in to the cruel...
and he helped the oppressed.
Those who saw his shadow would pay respect...
and his enemies would search for a place to hide.
He roared like a lion,
walked like a wolf...
and had the eyes of an eagle.
In the field of battle, he was unrivaled...
and he brought the backs of many a wrestler to the ground.
That which Suleyman Shah said...
wasn't possible...
has never been proven possible by a single soul.
He gave me sons as valiant as your father...
and grandsons like you.
May God bless him, my dear.
Amen.
How many sons do you have, Grandmother?
I had six sons.
Two were killed in the war against the Mongols.
How many grandsons do you have?
Your uncle Gündoğdu...
has two sons.
And you uncle Sungur Tekin has one son.
Me, one and Savcı...
Then you have five grandsons, Grandmother.
Right.
I have five grandsons, smart like you, my dear.
I hope they come soon.
I've never seen them.
I wish to know them.
God willing, my boy.
What's wrong, Grandmother? Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I'm fine, my dear.
I'm fine.
You go,
be with your brother.
Let me rest a little, eh?
Okay.
Okay, Grandmother.
Oh!
Oh, I'd die for you.
I'd die for you.
Come on.
Go.
Go on.
Stop.
Go.
On this sacred Friday,
at this time that prayers are heard,
we thank God that with your effort, believers who have come together,
and the help of our God,
it has befallen us to perform Friday prayers here.
God willing, all your generations may perform Friday prayers here forever.
Amen.
As our great prophet says...
Peace be upon him.
"Islam is good morality.
A Muslim is someone...
whose word and work is true.
Conquering a castle is important business.
But the important thing is to conquer the castle of hearts."
Our prophet says...
Peace be upon him.
"If people look at your conduct
and do not aspire to Islam,
review your faith."
Just as you raised our glorious banner
and made this place an Islamic land,
you are required to make people feel...
the encompassing warmth of Islam
with your just and merciful behavior.
Our Lord says in the Surah Ali Imran:
"If you had been mean and cold-hearted,
it is with no doubt that they would leave you."
Venerable believers,
as God commands, we shall...
be kind towards the oppressed.
However, against the cruel, we shall always be resolute.
To live in harmony with unity and prosperity,
we will firmly embrace this line from the Quran...
and walk a righteous path with the guidance of our prophet.
May God bless your Friday prayer.
Amen.
-May your conquest be blessed. -Amen.
Merchant Niko.
I caught you at last.
Not Niko,
Atsız.
You still haven't learned.
You won't be able to tell Ertuğrul this time.
Bastards.
You only know how to fight dirty.
You truly are a great spy,
a spy good enough to get near me. But don't forget...
that I am a great warrior.
And I won this game.
Who knows how upset Ertuğrul will be when he loses such a spy.
No matter what traps you set,
Ertuğrul Bey...
will do away with you all.
Your rule of these lands is over.
Keep on resisting.
I will have you beg for your life.
Do what you will.
But the last breath of a Turk...
will not be for mercy...
but the proud smile...
of martyrdom.
Our margrave, Ertuğrul Bey.
-Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey. -Thank you.
Bismillahirahmanirahim.
Welcome, my beys.
Glad to be here, Ertuğrul Bey.
Sit.
In the 99 names...
of God,
who makes things happen and fills our hearts with faith,
may our celebration be...
for the best and for good fortune.
Amen.
When you broke the infidels on our doorstep,
our tribes and families were filled with joy.
Ertuğrul Bey, may God...
further your victories and your name.
-Thank you. -May your victories be lasting.
Thank you.
Victory...
is God's, my beys.
Name and reputation...
are transient matters of the world.
Our fight...
and our conquests...
are for the grace of God.
And we gather here today to share this...
and to consult on the new order.
Yes, Ertuğrul Bey.
Ertuğrul Bey,
Sultan Alaeddin's lieutenant has arrived.
Bring him in, Abdur Rahman.
Welcome.
You are most welcome.
Glad to be here.
May your celebration be blessed, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you.
I bring you Sultan Alaeddin's...
conquest gifts and edict.
If it would please you, I'd like to read our sultan's edict...
to the beys.
Please do.
"Ertuğrul Bey, Bey of the Kayi, son of Suleyman Shah.
May God render your sword sharp,
your victories perpetual, your life fruitful.
The conquest of Karacahisar,
through the gallantry of you and your alps,
has increased the power of our state.
Following this conquest,
henceforth,
I give you Domaniç for the summer and Söğüt for the winter.
The rule and the protection of these lands
are under your command.
Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad the Victorious."
-May it be for the best, my bey. -Thank you.
May God bless you, my bey.
May God give you the strength to do what you wish.
Thank you, Artuk Bey.
May our offspring be wolves...
and everywhere we set foot be our land.
Thank you, brother.
You are our state's protector,
the pride of the Turk tribes, Ertuğrul Bey.
May God render you always victorious.
-Amen. -May God bless you, my bey.
Thank you, my beys.
Thank you.
May our state stand tall.
As our sultan commanded,
from now on,
Söğüt and Domaniç...
are our lands.
We will start working on the improvement of these places right away.
And I shall soon ride to Konya
to surrender our sultan's right to the spoils.
Soon.
Now, let us eat.
Come, sit.
Bismillahirahmanirahim.
Look at the bride
She has henna on her hands
Don't say anything to her
She'll be offended and go back home
Henna on her door
She is an angel
-May your bridal henna be merry -Bismillahirahmanirahim.
May your prosperity be sweet
Look at the bride
She has henna on her hand
Who are you?
We are merchants. We wish to spend the night.
Where do you come from?
We come to Hanli Bazaar from Söğüt to trade.
We heard that Ertuğrul Bey will accept merchants here tomorrow.
We would like to stay here and meet him in person.
All right, then. Surrender your swords and daggers.
Then you may come inside.
Henna on her door
She is an angel
-May your bridal henna be merry -God willing, may you have
armies of sons and tribes of daughters.
May your home be prosperous.
She has henna on her hand
This...
is our wedding gift to you.
Her door has henna
-Halime. -I'll put it on, Mother.
May your bridal henna be merry
May your prosperity be sweet
Look at the bride
-She has henna on her hand -I don't know what to say.
You've made me so happy.
You are so beautiful, Marya.
May God protect you from evil eyes.
-Amen. -Amen.
Thank you.
You've helped me so much.
I appreciate it.
I wish...
my brother was here...
to see this day.
Marya Hatun,
don't be sad.
And don't feel alone.
You lost your brother.
But if we may,
we would like to be your sisters.
Look at the bride
-She has henna on her hand -You are such good people.
I thank God that he led me to you.
Sit here.
Eat something. I will get your quarters ready.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Bring some food to this table.
Let's sneak down at night and place the swords under the tables.
We will take our place inside before Ertuğrul comes tomorrow.
Everybody knows what to do.
The emperor...
will do everything he can...
to take back...
Karacahisar Castle from us.
Ares...
and the governor of Bilecik...
will always threaten us.
That's why we have to get rid of Ares...
and conquer Bilecik.
The war between us will go on until we end...
Nicaea's rule...
over these lands.
We await your command and are always ready to fight,
Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you.
This is a symbol of our endless allegiance to you.
The moment you send this,
I will come under your command with all my alps.
Thank you.
The basis of prosperity...
is unity.
I have no doubt that the Oğuz Beys who have not rejected...
unity so far will not do so going forth.
I'd like to know...
what the newly arrived Cavdar beys think of this matter.
We too are under your command, Ertuğrul Bey.
We have come to accept Turgut Bey as our bey.
Thank you.
Bamsi.
Give me an arrow.
He who...
isn't united...
and acts alone...
will break as easily as this.
However,
if we are one,
nobody can break us.
I would like...
to add joy to this day that we celebrate our prosperity...
and unity with a wedding.
In front of all the beys,
we shall wed Artuk Bey and Marya.
Congratulations, Artuk Bey.
May it be for the best.
May you have armies of sons... and tribes of daughters, Artuk Bey.
Thank you, Turgut Bey.
Thank you, my beys.
Thank you, my bey.
God bless you.
Bamsi.
Tell the women to bring Marya Hatun.
Yes, my bey.
This room is for two.
You have water.
If you need anything else, there's an alp on guard.
-Call for him. -You've hosted us well.
Thank you.
-Good night. -You're welcome.
Good night.
I have wed you in front of the witnesses
and the people here.
May God bless your covenant.
Amen.
Oh, God.
We are witness to this wedding covenant.
You witness it too.
My God, bless this wedding covenant.
Amen.
Help this couple get along,
give them love
-and patience in marriage. -Amen.
My God,
grant this couple...
the friendship, peace and happiness
that was among the prophet Adam...
and our mother, Eve, among our prophet Muhammed,
may peace be upon him,
and our mother, Hatice,
-and among Ali and Fatima. -Amen.
My God,
grant this couple suitable children,
-long life and plenty of livelihood. -Amen.
Our God, grant us, in this world and the next, blessed wellness
-and beauty. -Amen.
-Protect us from hell fire. -Amen.
Al-Fatiha.
After everyone settles in,
we will hide the swords beneath the tables tonight.
When Ertuğrul comes tomorrow, Ares will be here to finish him off.
Come in.
We risked everything coming here.
Ertuğrul must be celebrating victory at the castle with his beys.
But tomorrow, this inn...
will be his grave.
May God render your union perpetual, Artuk Bey.
May he soon give you valiant sons.
God bless you, my bey.
Thank you.
Artuk Bey,
may God further your lineage and give you many children.
May God protect you from all evil.
Thank you, Turgut Alp.
Thank you.
May it be for the good.
Thank you, Ertuğrul Bey.
May it be for the good.
May God bless you, Artuk Bey.
May you have armies of sons...
and tribes of daughters. God willing.
Thank you, Hayme Hatun.
Thank you.
-May you be happy, Artuk Bey. -Hayme Ana.
God bless you, Halime Sultan.
Thanks to you, I have found happiness. Thank you.
Be happy, my girl.
May you always be happy, Artuk Bey.
Thank you, Aslıhan Hatun, thank you.
May you have little children, Artuk Bey.
Bring pride to our tribe.
Bamsi.
Come on, let's hug and celebrate.
Marya Hatun.
Mother.
-Mother! -Hayme Ana.
-Wake up. -Mother.
Mother.
Grandmother.
I'd die...
for you.
Mother, come to.
Mother.
-Speak, Mother. -Ertuğrul.
Son...
Son.
Give me...
Don't say that, Mother.
Don't.
Give me your...
Mother!
Ble...
Bless...
