THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
I missed riding horses with you, Ertuğrul.
Catching our breath under the tree,
together.
Do you think I didn't miss that?
Don't take offense.
I know you're burdened.
Your breath is enough for me.
You know.
Wherever I go, I carry you in my heart, Halime.
Our rebellious times
are behind us Ertuğrul.
We have our land, duties
and children.
I only wish that Allah won't take you away.
My mother dreamed that we had another son.
Osman.
Name your sons after Savcı Alp, who died for me fighting the Mongols,
Gündüz Alp, who died in my arms,
and Osman Alp, my martyred uncle.
Osman.
It was Suleiman Shah's will.
If we had another son, we'd name him Osman.
Hopefully, we'll have Osman in our arms soon.
God willing.
I saw Osman too, in my darkest days.
Ertuğrul.
Isn't this great?
Then, Mother saw him after you did.
Now I'm excited.
God willing.
Let's hope that our dreams will bring good omens.
And that Osman becomes a brave
and strong man like I dreamed.
God willing.
And, Ertuğrul?
Before, you used to hunt birds
with your bow to feed your wife.
Don't worry.
Ertuğrul is still the master of the hunt.
And I'm the master of the house.
So, Emir Sadettin wants to talk to you.
Mahperi Hatun, that man never says anything good.
But I think we should see him.
You're right.
Go and learn what he wants.
As you wish.
Any news from Ertuğrul Bey?
No.
I wish to know a frontier bey who is being so revered by the Sultan.
Let's see if Ertuğrul can show the same loyalty he shows the Sultan
to my Prince Keyhüsrev, when the time comes.
Ertuğrul is the most dangerous of Oghuz Beys.
He fought both Mongols and tekfurs with his few men
as if he had an army.
He conquered Karacahisar.
We must be cautious, the Sultan's good relations with him
are very evident.
His loyalty to the Sultan will be a problem for us.
I'll keep an eye on him.
Now go and see what Emir Sadettin wants.
As you wish.
Ten steps of distance between each tent!
Don't forget.
Leave place for sheep pens!
Work fast. Come on, brothers!
Brother Turgut!
Welcome, Brother.
Thanks, Brother.
Thankfully, both tribes are united.
But, Brother, this place doesn't look safe.
As I said before, if we settle here
that hill will be left open.
Then the enemy can easily attack the village
from that passage.
Don't worry, Brother.
I've thought of everything.
Alps will guard those hills day and night.
The enemy won't have a chance.
If we settle where you want
those pastures won't suffice for both herds.
Here is close to the Sümen vineyards, Chief Alp Bamsi.
This here is appropriate.
Here is best for both our herds and the Sümen vineyards.
My beys...
Aslıhan Hatun, Brother Turgut...
If we settle where I say, we can see the attacks from the hill
before they happen.
And water... don't worry about it.
If needed,
we'll dig and find a way to bring it.
I'm thinking about the safety of the tribes.
Why don't you understand, I don't know.
Bamsi...
Don't get involved in my affairs.
Mind your business.
I was chief alp for years.
I know what's needed.
Brother...
You were, but you don't see the danger next to us.
I'm the bey of Cavdar Tribe.
If I want the village here, it will be here.
This discussion is over.
Good...
All right then.
As you order.
As you order, my bey.
-Mother Hayme. -Mother Hayme.
Mother Hayme.
Welcome.
Thanks, dear.
Welcome, Mother.
Thank you, Son.
You should rest at the castle. Why did you come?
Don't worry, I'm fine.
My sons will come.
I need to prepare.
That's why I came.
And I wanted to see you.
Thank you, Mother.
We could have taken you if you'd let us know.
What's with Bamsi?
He thinks it's not safe here.
But...
my beys and I think the place is fine.
And if we settle where he wants
those pastures won't suffice for both herds.
Bamsi is angry about it.
Mind your business, Son.
Come on, brothers, faster!
The deadly warriors I spoke to you about.
Look at my men, Angelos.
The Catalan Butcher!
The Viking Devil.
The Germanic Knight.
They're all warriors of hell.
They've all killed hundreds of Turks.
They're anxious to massacre the tribes around Ertuğrul.
They will get their wish.
We'll give them the opportunity.
Death to the Turks!
-Death to the Turks! -Death to the Turks!
Death to the Turks!
Obvious from how she's dressed.
She's the wife of a rich man.
She's beautiful.
We can sell her.
She'll be worth a lot.
Let's not wait. Let's go and take her.
Ertuğrul!
Halime!
Who are you?
We own this mountain.
You're our slave now.
Don't worry, we'll feed you.
Take this.
Ertuğrul!
-Ertuğrul! -This woman is wild.
Ertuğrul!
Ertuğrul...
My Halime...
-Are you okay, Halime? -Yes.
I'm fine. You came just in time.
Atabey Şemettin Altun Aba.
Şemsettin Altun Aba.
You honor my house.
Come.
You wanted to speak with me.
Göktuğ said so.
I wanted to share a small secret with you out of respect
for you and Mahperi Hatun.
What do you know that we don't?
Your Sultan...
is reorganizing the State.
Not only his own heir,
but even you and many of his emirs have fallen out of his favor.
The incident in the palace forced him to do this.
What are you saying, Sadettin?
Let me be brief
and say what I know.
Our Sultan has chosen Prince Kılıçarslan
as his heir.
Impossible.
I know you raised a good heir as his Atabey,
but our Sultan will leave Keyhüsrev as the Emir of Erzincan
as he is now.
No...
That's impossible.
Our Sultan would never do this.
When he returns, he'll declare his heir before going on a campaign.
If you and Mahperi Hatun have doubts
then you'll know I told you the truth.
Why do you tell me this, Sadettin?
Pay attention to the frontier bey Ertuğrul.
If, Allah protect him, our Sultan...
should die,
to execute his will,
to make Kılıçarslan the Sultan,
he'll make all the Turkish tribes rebel against you without hesitating.
Yes.
No doubt about that.
Good, at least you know Ertuğrul well.
Give this gift of mine to Mahperi Hatun.
When she's convinced that I've told the truth,
I wish to see her. Tell her that.
Door!
Permission, Mother Hayme?
Come, Bamsi.
Mother, you called for me?
Sit down.
Tell me, Bamsi.
What is the issue between you and Turgut?
Nothing. There's nothing, Mother.
What would there be?
Bamsi!
Obviously, you think differently about something.
Your heart and mouth say different things.
I saw it with my own eyes.
You were arguing.
Tell me, Son.
What's the matter?
Mother...
I don't know how to say this but...
Being bey, Mother,
is too much for Turgut.
He makes bad decisions.
Where the Cavdar Tribe wants to settle, it's not a good place.
We'll be bait for the enemy.
I try to explain,
but Turgut just doesn't listen.
Turgut was chief alp for years, he's wise.
And even if he's the bey of the Cavdars,
he can't make such decisions alone.
He can't change something that is decided.
If he stands behind it,
he's responsible as bey.
Bamsi,
Turgut's burden is heavy.
Your duty is to support him.
You see?
Look, Bamsi.
Ertuğrul and Gündoğdu...
argued about some issues.
You know.
That's why I haven't seen my sons for a long time.
My heart aches to see them.
Don't argue with Turgut like that.
Don't make me sad.
Don't worry, Mother.
Don't you worry.
Excuse me, Mother.
Thank you.
Sir...
Why are you unarmed?
Don't you fear the enemy?
If you take refuge in Allah, why be scared, son?
All right, sir.
What will you do if the enemy comes now?
There's a very brave alp here.
He'll protect me.
I sure will.
I already struck the eye of our greatest enemy.
So, you hurt your enemy greatly.
Then, you'll be a brave alp of your father.
Son...
Fighting the enemy is a virtue.
But don't forget, the real virtue is...
getting the enemy to side with you.
Making the enemy find the meaning of life...
thanks to you.
But sir, what can we do for this?
I'll tell you.
Our Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him...
had set off to Medina,
with Abu Bakr.
The Meccan pagans,
offered a reward to the man who would catch and kill our Prophet.
Abu Buraidah
was one of those who was after our Prophet for the reward.
So, he intercepted our Prophet.
He wanted to kill him.
Our Prophet realized that.
But still, he talked to him like a friend.
Abu Buraidah,
was very impressed with...
our Prophet's hospitality...
and his friendship.
He was shocked.
He realized that the man he wanted to kill...
was actually a man he should be following.
So, he converted to Islam right there.
So, while he wanted to kill him
and get some gold...
he found unimaginable treasures.
His black heart,
was illuminated with the Prophet's light.
Mashallah.
Our Prophet was so good
that his enemy changed sides.
Sir...
Will you pray for me
to see the Prophet in my dreams?
Of course, I will.
Sir. I'll try to convert the enemy from now on as well.
But if he doesn't give up I'll show no mercy.
Good boy.
May Allah grant you and your father many conquests of heart.
Amen, sir.
Amen.
This is what Emir Sadettin says, Mahperi Hatun.
And my son?
What about Prince Keyhüsrev?
He'll keep ruling Erzincan, huh?
Shame.
Prince Kılıçarslan and his mother will kill him.
He wanted me to give you this.
He said the answers you sought were inside.
The Greatest Sultan, Gıyaseddin.
What does this man want?
How could he send you this?
While our Sultan is alive,
how can he dare to make
a stamp in the name of Prince Gıyaseddin as Sultan?
He's saying he sides with my son, Altun Aba.
He says he made his decision...
He says he's on my side
to make my son the Sultan.
You know Emir Sadettin is not trustworthy.
Sure, I know.
But I also know that we need his power in the palace.
And that he doesn't feel safe.
Who knows what he has done?
He saved our Sultan's life.
Became his favorite Emir.
Maybe it was all a lie.
If he wants us to be cautious about Ertuğrul Bey...
he'll keep clear of him just like we do.
What of Emir Nizamettin's death?
Surely, it was all Emir Sadettin's plot.
Since...
Emir Sadettin wants to use us to save his skin,
then we'll use him until we get what we want.
Until my son Keyhüsrev is on the throne...
there's no rest for us.
First, I'll speak to the Sultan
and see if Sadettin tells the truth.
If it's true, then it's time.
We're within our rights to spill blood for the throne.
You're back where you grew up with your brother Yiğit, Halime.
My palace is your heart, Ertuğrul.
This palace took away everything I loved.
My father, my brother.
Please,
don't forget that poisonous snakes are behind every door here.
My Halime.
We're here to cut the snake's head off
and to celebrate that.
Now, stop crying.
-Ertuğrul Bey. Welcome. -Thanks, Aziz.
Our Sultan asked me to welcome you.
Mahperi Hatun wants to see you.
The servants will carry your belongings.
Follow me.
Permission, Your Highness?
Come in.
Your Highness. Ertuğrul has arrived with Halime Hatun.
So, he brought Halime Hatun too.
They're welcome.
I've learned that Aziz took them to see Mahperi Hatun.
Good.
Let them meet the lioness.
I have sharpened Mahperi Hatun's teeth so much that
they'll have no idea how sharp they are.
Our Sultan has gone to inspect his army before the campaign.
But...
he'll come tomorrow just to see you.
His respect for you is evident
as is his liking.
Our Sultan is a friend, and we are loyal, Mahperi Hatun.
Thankfully, the traitor who tried to kill you
and the Sultan, has gotten his punishment.
But I...
don't think that all the traitors around the Sultan are gone.
What do you say, Ertuğrul Bey?
Is this rotten treason still not over?
Our State is like a glorious tree.
As it grows bigger,
it will always have some
parasite inside.
Reopening closed cases,
or reopening old wounds won't bring any goodness, Ertuğrul Bey.
Your sword
should be sharp, not your tongue.
Our sword is always sharp for justice.
Good, Ertuğrul Bey.
Halime Hatun.
I wish to accommodate you tonight
with the wives of the emirs, and talk to you.
I will attend, Mahperi Hatun.
Aziz will show you your chambers.
Rest now.
What do you think about Ertuğrul, Mahperi Hatun?
Emir Sadettin is right.
Ertuğrul is dangerous.
His loyalty to the Sultan will be a problem for us.
I wish to know about his every step.
As you wish.
Brotherhood is one thing, ruling is another.
I want no harm done to our brotherhood.
But...
I don't want to be doubted.
I know you're close with Bamsi.
But you're a bey.
He's the chief alp.
He's responsible for his alps
and you're responsible for the Cavdar Tribe.
You didn't make the decision for yourself, Turgut.
You thought about the tribe.
Don't worry, Aslıhan.
I won't have my words doubted in my tribe.
Bamsi is my brother.
But he'll know his place.
