THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Did you do it, Sadettin?
The sultan's chief butler, Nasuraddin Ali, awaits my orders.
If you command, I'll get on the road right away
to make sure that our sultan has died.
Then I command you, Sadettin.
Go right now.
I'll gather the emirs sworn to Prince Gıyaseddin
and tell them to prepare.
I've contacted my friends all over the country.
When the time comes, they will...
all come to the palace for the enthronement
of Prince Gıyaseddin.
Then, I'll have to finish off Prince Kılıçarslan and his mother.
I'll never let them get to Konya.
Good.
Thanks to your services and your loyalty for your state,
you'll be sultan Gıyaseddin's right and left hands.
As two great statesmen,
you'll serve my son.
May Allah protect our state.
May Allah protect our sultan Gıyaseddin.
There's one more issue to take care of.
Göktuğ.
Ertuğrul.
He hasn't given up.
He tried to chase me down and kill me.
I suppose he's aware of everything.
He knows about our intentions.
You have to stop Ertuğrul at once, Sadettin.
If Ertuğrul reaches the sultan, all will be lost.
Don't worry.
I have found a solution.
The sultan will stop Ertuğrul, not us.
How?
You will seal this letter with your own seal
and send it to our sultan.
What's written inside?
That Ertuğrul has broken the sultan's law.
That he hunts me and that he has killed Göktuğ.
That he cooperated with Emir Nizamettin on the assassination attempts
at the bazaar and the palace.
You're literally the devil himself in human form, Sadettin.
And now, Ertuğrul is on the road
to finish off the sultan.
This letter will seal Ertuğrul's death.
The sultan will surely be furious when he reads this letter.
He'll have him caught and brought to him.
Ertuğrul won't attack Aziz
or the sultan's guards.
How will you prevent them from meeting?
Ertuğrul will never see the sultan.
When Ertuğrul surrenders to Aziz and the soldiers,
they'll be ambushed and killed.
Everyone will know that he died resisting the sultan's guards.
Ertuğrul, until now,
you've braved many tasks and troubles.
I've always said farewell...
to you with great worry.
But this time,
I'm scared like I've never been.
My Halime,
God willing, I'll return to you and our children.
But If I can't carry out this mission,
we won't have a state at our backs.
We'll lose our lands for which we've lost so many men.
Godspeed, Ertuğrul.
May the sun not burn you.
May the rain not chill you.
May your road be smooth.
Go and return to us swiftly.
I'll travel the night...
to find where that dog Titan is hiding.
God protect you, Halime.
God bless you, Ertuğrul.
Let's go, Alps!
Let's go!
God protect you.
My Hafza, my baby.
My baby.
My dear.
Hafza, wake up.
Hafza.
My Hafza.
Hafza, wake up.
Dear, what happened to you?
Those infidel scum did this.
Those infidel scum did it.
Hafza, my baby, get well.
I'll take care of those dogs.
Salaam alaikum.
-Alaikum salaam. -Welcome, sir.
Welcome.
Can you do something for my Hafza?
As long as God shows his mercy,
there's always hope, son.
Will Hafza get better?
Will she?
Tell me, sir, tell me.
Relieve my worried heart.
Bamsi.
My son.
I feel your pain.
But don't worry.
God will hopefully save them both.
We'll do our best, son.
The rest is up to God.
Now go, so that we can cure her.
I'll leave.
I'll leave, sir.
I only want her cured.
My Hafza.
I'll leave.
Mother, what will I do
if something happens to her?
You just calm down.
Nothing will happen.
She'll hopefully get better.
Mother Hayme, how is Hafza?
Ibn Al Arabi is with her.
We're waiting. She'll be well, God willing.
-She'll be well. -I hope.
God willing.
All this trouble for nothing.
If you had listened, we wouldn't be like this now.
Don't, Bamsi.
Now's not the time.
When will it be time, Turgut?
When?
When Hafza and my baby die?
When they die?
I told you, it's not time.
-It's not the time, Bamsi. -Bamsi, enough!
Come to your senses.
Enough!
Stop, I beg you.
Now's not the time to fight.
I have more important issues to tell you.
What is it, daughter?
I overheard the scum that kidnapped us.
I heard that Ares was taken to Konya.
Even we didn't know that.
If they know...
We have a traitor among us.
Who else could have known this?
Who is the traitor?
Permission?
Come in!
Turgut Bey, Chief Alp Bamsi.
Artuk Bey calls you to the castle.
-What for? -I don't know, my bey.
It's important and you need to come quickly.
All right.
Mother.
If Artuk Bey hadn't found those dogs, he wouldn't have called us.
Mother, I'll go.
But my mind stays here.
Let me know.
Don't worry, son.
I'm here.
Go and return quickly.
Excuse me, Mother.
Excuse me.
If Mahperi Hatun didn't involve her snake tongue,
the sultan would have killed Sadettin right there.
When Mahperi Hatun found out who would be crowned prince by our sultan,
he saved Sadettin from drowning in his own sins.
So, the sultan created this unholy alliance with his own will.
These fights for the throne are what brought down
our thousand-year-old empire, Ertuğrul Bey.
Only you can save the Seljuks from collapsing.
I'll be the sultan's shadow, Ahmet.
I'll do anything to prevent him from being slaughtered.
If Mahperi Hatun and Emir Sadettin manage
to kill the sultan,
Gıyaseddin will rewrite the sultan's will with blood.
The war between the two princes will cause utter destruction.
This only benefits the Mongols.
They can take not only Constantinople, but even Europe.
Then we have to uphold his will, Ahmet.
With the Turkish villages sworn to me,
I'll do anything to get Prince Kılıçarslan on the throne.
I'm at your service, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thanks, Ahmet.
The statesmen loyal to you
will come before you, Mahperi Hatun.
Good.
I have total confidence in them,
but I want them to swear loyalty to me, Altun Aba.
As you wish.
Any news from Prince Gıyaseddin?
Our prince must be with the sultan, Mahperi Hatun.
My son will learn the bitter truth from his father,
his sultan, who he loves more than anything.
He'll know what it means to be betrayed
by his own father.
And he'll realize that his life depends on his brother Kılıçarslan's words.
His greatest betrayal by his father...
will make him a man,
no longer a boy.
Then he'll know what it means to be a real sultan, Mahperi Hatun.
Prince Gıyaseddin will never know the truth, Altun Aba.
I want him to think that he took...
his rightful throne with a clear conscience.
He'll never know, Mahperi Hatun.
Nothing about you, me or Emir Sadettin.
He'll never, ever, find out.
Prince Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev.
My sultan.
Welcome, my Prince.
Welcome, my son.
Come to my tent. You've had a long journey. Rest.
My sultan, I've come here to join you in your war and become a martyr.
My son.
I've always been proud of you and your brother.
Your wish to take up your sword and armor to join me in my campaign at your age
has pleased me greatly.
I'll give my life for you.
There are important issues I want to discuss, Gıyaseddin.
That's why the tent I'll have at Kayseri for two days...
Permission, my sultan?
Come, Aziz.
Atabey Altun Aba has sent a messenger, my sultan.
The messenger says that the letter has important news.
Ertuğrul.
What's the matter, my sultan?
Ertuğrul has hunted Sadettin...
to kill him, instead of returning to his lands.
He killed his helper Göktuğ.
And Sadettin?
Altun Aba thinks that Ertuğrul killed Sadettin too.
They're looking for the body.
What does Ertuğrul Bey want?
He thinks Ertuğrul is in league with Emir Nizamettin.
And now
he says that Ertuğrul is coming
to kill me.
Let me take care of that scum.
What I want is...
for him to tell me what happened.
Aziz.
Find Ertuğrul Bey and bring him to me.
As you command, my sultan.
What was the important issue?
We haven't hunted for a long time, Gıyaseddin.
Let's go for a hunt before the campaign.
Tomorrow, I wish to go for a hunt
and to talk to you in detail.
Then, I wish for a good hunt, my sultan.
Did you think this through, Turgut Bey?
I brought the documents, Artuk Bey.
Leave it on the table.
You pulled the Cavdar Alps from the bazaar.
What do you mean, Turgut Bey?
I discussed it with my beys.
As the Cavdars,
we'll migrate from these lands.
I'll take the Cavdar Alps at the castle, too.
You decide without orders from Ertuğrul Bey.
You've gone too far.
You abandon us!
Bamsi, watch your mouth.
Turgut Bey, Bamsi.
Let Turgut Bey do as he wishes.
We'll manage.
We'll send the Alps at the bazaar to the castle.
No! No, Artuk Bey!
Turns out you were the biggest traitor among us!
You betray Ertuğrul Bey, your village
and your brothers!
Because of your pride and ignorance, my wife and baby
are dying!
Enough, Bamsi!
Enough!
I do the best for my village!
Stop crying over your wife and baby.
What else can I do?
What else?
Bamsi! Bamsi!
Bamsi!
Stop! What are you doing?
Artuk Bey!
Are you okay?
You betrayed our cause!
Traitor!
I won't forgive you!
Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!
-You're a traitor! -Bamsi!
Bamsi! Let him go!
Bamsi, let him go!
Bamsi, let him go! Let him go!
Let him go.
Turgut Alp! Bismillah!
You're a traitor!
Turgut?
Traitor! Traitor!
Turgut Alp!
Traitor! He's a traitor! You're a traitor!
What did you do?
-Traitor, traitor. -What did you do?
You killed your brother!
No, no...
He was a traitor, not a brother.
A traitor.
He's a traitor, not a brother.
Not my brother.
Alps!
Get Bamsi Alp!
-He killed Turgut Bey. -No, no. Artuk Bey...
No, no. He was a traitor.
Artuk Bey, he was a traitor.
Nobody will know of this.
The unity must be kept.
Our enemies must not know this.
This will stay here for now.
If any one of you speak of it, you will be killed.
-Understood? -As you command.
Artuk Bey, he was a traitor.
Take him away.
Marya.
You too, Marya.
Don't forget what I said.
Nobody can know what happened.
Or I won't show you mercy.
Don't worry, Artuk Bey.
Door!
You trusted me.
Even after all I did, you took me to your side.
I'm grateful, Ertuğrul Bey.
All is behind us, Ahmet.
Now, you're as clean as that flowing water.
If I wasn't your enemy,
if I wasn't defeated,
if I didn't become a prisoner,
I wouldn't have become enlightened.
What I thought defeat...
was in fact a great victory.
If I can show you the true path,
I thank God a thousand times.
Your hospitality and a dream I had...
have affected me greatly.
Interesting.
What did you see?
I saw myself in a dungeon.
A voice told me to wake up.
When I opened my eyes, the doors were open.
I walked out.
Then I arrived at a room.
There,
I saw an aged, white bearded Muslim.
Come and sit.
He told me to sit,
then he gave me water.
I asked...
Why did you give me water?
He said...
Water is mercy. It's abundance.
It makes the seeds of the heart bloom.
The seeds in my heart are rotten.
I'm just an...
abandoned...
and defeated man.
You lost only a castle,
a title.
But the greatest treasure of man
is his heart and soul.
Real monsters are the ones with heart and soul blinded.
Those who abandoned you are slaves to cruelty.
Your heart...
is ripe for illumination.
He told me God would help me
and show me mercy.
I woke up sobbing.
He was right.
God gave me his hand and gave me a real friend and real faith.
The sultan's helper, Aziz.
Welcome Aziz.
Come now, we hunted a bird, let's eat.
Ertuğrul Bey, we've come to take you, by the order of the sultan.
Alps!
If you resist, we'll have to kill you.
Abdur Rahman,
lay down your arms.
My bey...
We can't disobey the sultan, Abdur Rahman.
Tie them all, take their swords and horses.
Why did our sultan ask you this, Aziz?
You'll learn that when you're with the sultan, Ertuğrul Bey.
Until we get there,
your hands will be tied.
We never deserved this, Aziz.
You're making a mistake.
Ertuğrul Bey,
I only do my duty.
Let's go!
You won't get away with this.
Everything is ruined.
Because of your folly!
Because you were caught by Turgut.
Calm down Titan.
You forget who I am.
I'm the son of the tekfur of Bilecik!
Oh, you're his son?
Be the emperor's son if you want, I don't care.
You're just a stupid knight in my eyes.
Calm down, Titan.
Drop that dagger!
Warriors of Hell!
Tell me what to do with this stupid knight
who couldn't fight a Turk and who was imprisoned.
-Kill! Kill! -Kill! Kill!
Titan! Titan, stop.
Don't do it, Titan.
-Kill! Kill! -Kill! Kill!
Sir, I have important news.
To hell with your news! Get out.
Sir, Bamsi...
Bamsi killed Turgut.
Marya saw it herself.
Turgut's Alps left the bazaar for the castle.
And the Kayi Alps left the bazaar for the castle.
So, Bamsi fought Turgut and killed him.
So, the Turks have started killing each other.
This is a golden opportunity.
Let's stop fighting each other and take this opportunity, Titan.
Turgut has taken his Alps from the castle and the bazaar.
The Kayi have left the bazaar for the castle.
So, Hanli Bazaar is unprotected.
Get ready, Warriors of Hell.
Tomorrow, we burn Hanli Bazaar.
