Water.
In the name of God!
I know your wounds hurt, Brother Ahmet. Your pain runs deep.
But you must be patient.
And there are many lessons for us to take from these pains.
If it wasn't for pain, we wouldn't know the value of health.
God the healer will ease your pain, hopefully.
Abdur Rahman...
When you are in such pain...
what do you do if medicine or ointments don't work?
Brother Ahmet, the real healing for us...
is the invocation of our holy book, the Quran.
For the Quran heals both our hearts and our bodies.
Abdur Rahman...
would you please read the Quran for me?
All right.
Take this pheasant to Nasureddin Ali.
Let him prepare it for me and my son for tonight.
My sultan,
poets, musicians and dancers would also like to come to your marquee.
They await your permission.
Let them come. Let them be with us.
Before I go on this campaign, I wish to...
I wish to be with my son.
You've improved on our ancestor's ways, Gıyaseddin. You always find your target.
My only wish is to be a son worthy of you, my sultan.
I heard what happened at the palace.
We were hunters but have become the hunted.
Within us, at our borders...
and all over the world there are those in envy of my state's power.
What's more, the Mongolian threat is about to fall on us like a nightmare.
With you leading us and God's permission we will outlive them all, my sultan.
I would like to know that
my state is in good hands if anything should happen to me, Gıyaseddin.
May God prevent it, my sultan.
Before the rose of the Garden of Life fades,
it is time for me to realize our ancient state traditions, my son.
Before I leave for the Amid campaign,
I will have you know that I have made important decisions concerning our state.
Because of Fahrettin Ayaz's death,
I have appointed the valiant warrior Harezmi Kayır Han in his place.
And I will give you the Erzincan province, making you head of the army.
And Şemsettin Altun Aba will continue to be your tutor.
I have determined the heir apparent by making a choice between you...
and your brother Kılıçarslan.
I have no doubt that it is a choice which will strengthen our state.
Your choice will be best for the greater good of our state, my sultan.
I will have you know that my decision was the one that will make
our state one with the world of Islam against the Mongols, my son.
I appointed your brother Kılıçarslan from Melike Hatun, who comes from...
the Ayyubid lineage, as the heir.
When the Islamic world
finds out that a shahzade coming from the Ayyubid lineage will become sultan,
their hostility will end. You made the best decision, my sultan.
May God keep you with us.
Your will is my command.
From now on, obeying my brother shall be obeying you.
When the time comes for your brother to ascend the throne...
be with him and obey him. Obey him so that you empower the state.
As two brothers, make our state proud and prosperous.
My will concerns you most.
Don't you try to prosper our state through blood.
Your will is my command, my sultan.
And I will uphold it at the cost of my life.
Kill him! Away with him!
Get up!
Kill him!
Get up!
Kill him!
Aslıhan Hatun.
Well, well, my Hafsa is up on her feet.
Bamsi.
Oh, my lamb-eyed girl.
The one who opened my eye, the one I gave my heart to.
My Bamsi, my valiant man.
Are you all right? Is the baby all right?
I'm fine. Our baby is fine, too. Don't worry.
-Welcome, my bey. -Glad to be here, Aslıhan.
Mother.
-Welcome, my son. -Glad to be here, Mother.
Hayme Ana.
-Welcome, my son. -Glad to be here.
Hafsa Hatun, are you all right?
Yes, thank you, Turgut Bey.
God bless.
We caught the bastard Titan who took you...
and Gündüz, and was mean to you.
We will tie him to the post until our bey returns.
When he comes, he will avenge us all with God's permission.
May God keep your wrist and heart safe, Turgut Bey.
Thank you.
Traitor!
Look, Halime Hatun arrives.
Oh, finally they are back.
Mother.
Halime Hatun comes...
but where is Ertuğrul Bey?
You're right, son. May it be for the good.
May it be for the good.
My Gündüz!
-Mother! -My Gündüz!
My Gündüz!
I'd die to see you run at me.
Welcome, Mother.
My brother and I missed you so much.
I missed you, too.
Missed you so much.
-Mother. -Daughter.
Mother. You're all right, aren't you?
Welcome. I'm fine, my daughter.
-Hafsa. -Halime.
Aslıhan. My sister.
-Welcome. -Glad to be here.
Balçiçek.
My girl, what is it?
You came by horse, but you can't catch your breath.
Where is Ertuğrul?
There are important things I need to tell you, Mother.
Let's go to the marquee.
What are you saying? They are all fresh.
Welcome, sir.
Good day, my bey.
Stop!
Artuk Bey?
Don't!
Don't say a word.
I knew it. I set you up...
and I revealed your betrayal.
Why did you betray us, Marya?
Artuk Bey. Forgive me.
Gold, I did it for gold.
Stop it! Don't lie to me.
We opened up our country, our land to you.
I, someone who didn't marry for years...
made you my hatun and took you in.
But you repaid it all with betrayal.
You betrayed us all, Marya.
You stabbed us all in the back.
I do not belong to your world, Artuk Bey.
Even if I wanted to.
Yes, I did it for gold.
And to hurt you.
Did you send the papers with him?
Eh?
Please don't do anything to me.
Artuk Bey, please forgive me.
Artuk Bey, I beg of you. Please.
Alps! Take this traitor away.
Take her. I will deal with her later.
Artuk Bey, please forgive me!
Shame on you! Traitor!
That's it. Ertuğrul Bey now rides to the sultan
with Ahmet and the alps.
When will this circle of treachery end?
When will this blessed state be rid of traitors and find peace?
I agree that the great state's traitors and enemies are plenty.
But for every traitor, there are thousands of braves.
May God give power to our sultan, my Ertuğrul Bey...
and all our brave men, God willing.
-Amen. -Amen.
Amen. Even that blind tekfur has found Islam and become a man,
whereas we are still waiting for Sadettin Köpek.
An infidel spring flows within him.
My son, don't call him blind tekfur.
He is now your brother, Ahmet.
Thank God.
Thank God. You're right, Mother.
From now on, he's our brother, Ahmet.
Ahmet gave me the directions to the hideout of that bastard Titan.
Directions? Where is it?
In the Ayastefanos Valley.
Come on, brother. That tekfur's puppy must be there, too.
Let's go and finish him off.
Let's, brother. Let's.
There is no sleep for us without doing away with them both.
Mother, excuse us.
Goodbye, my son.
My braves. God speed.
May your wrists be tough and your swords sharp.
Thank you, Mother.
-May God look after you. -Thank you, Mother.
Tell our sultan that I have brought Ertuğrul Bey.
Permission to enter, my sultan.
Come in.
My sultan, Aziz has brought Ertuğrul.
Bring him in.
Ertuğrul...
what do you think you are doing?
How can you violate the judgement I passed about Sadettin?
Is your justice so superior to mine
that you go after Sadettin and kill his lieutenant?
What is this handing out your own justice like a lawless crook?
Who do you think you are, Ertuğrul?
A state that does not rejoice in justice...
is bound to fall, my sultan.
How dare you question my justice?
Your justice has not closed the wound...
but only rubbed salt in it, my sultan.
That wound bleeds within our state.
I have come here so that you may not drown in that blood and see the truth.
Enough!
I relieve you of all your privileges and your title of frontier bey.
And now, I will relieve you of your head.
If you aren't able to wake up and open your eyes to this,
none of the commands you give will be of value, my sultan.
Just like our state.
Enough!
The letter Altun Aba wrote to you...
is indication that he is one and in alliance with Sadettin, my sultan.
Sadettin wasn't enough...
Now you obsess with my son Gıyaseddin's tutor Altun Aba, do you?
Altun Aba...
is not alone in this, my sultan.
My sultan.
Don't do it.
Aziz!
My sultan...
on our way here, we were attacked by Emir Sadettin's men.
Our soldiers, who we thought were loyal to you...
believed them just as you do...
and turned on us.
You...
Are you aware of what you are saying, Aziz?
My sultan...
Ertuğrul Bey came here...
on his own free will to tell you what happened.
Sadettin sent Göktuğ after Ares to kill him, my sultan.
He intended...
to get revenge from Ares because he told the truth.
Because I knew he would do such a thing, I followed Ares.
Göktuğ got what was coming.
They are planning a way to kill you, my sultan.
You have to lift the veil from your eyes.
Because they knew I would come here, Altun Aba wrote a letter...
trying to defame me.
They wanted you to kill me with your own hand.
Alps.
Secure the area.
We will deal with the ones inside with your head alp, Bamsi.
Be cautious.
Come, brother.
Damn it.
Goddamn these Turks.
Where are the other men?
They went to look. They'll be back soon, my lord.
Now, take this head and bring it to the Tekfur of Bilecik.
Tell him, "Those who treat Turks as enemies
will have their heads removed from their bodies."
Now, take this head, take it.
Take it!
I said, "Take it!"
Get up.
Go.
They raided the vault.
There's nothing we can do.
We are outnumbered.
Pull back.
Why?
Why did they do this to me?
When they found out that you chose Shahzade Kılıçarslan as your heir...
Altun Aba and Sadettin collaborated, my sultan.
Their intention was to put Shahzade Gıyaseddin on the throne...
and rise in power.
Because they knew that you would announce your heir in a big ceremony in Kayseri...
they wanted to kill you before that.
Get up, Ertuğrul Bey.
The poisoning attempts that came one after the other
have worried me, Sadettin.
I do not fear death.
But I fear for my state.
The Mongols
want to take our south, just like they took the east...
and surround us and consume us.
They will take the Islamic states into their hands as well.
Not only the Islamic world's...
but they await our weakest moment.
The first chance they get... they will lay eyes on my state.
May God always keep you with us, my sultan.
I will die sooner or later, Sadettin.
However...
if death comes at an unexpected moment...
that is what I fear.
That's why
I have to quickly decide who will take the throne.
Isn't it already determined, my sultan?
-Practice dictates your elder son-- -No!
I want my younger son Kılıçarslan to take the throne.
Why, my sultan?
Why would you want that?
If my son Kılıçarslan from my Ayyubid queen wife should become sultan...
he will make way for the Islamic world to unite against the Mongols.
I didn't listen to you, Ertuğrul Bey.
You were right.
I couldn't stop the betrayal.
It's my fault.
It's all my fault.
I trusted Sadettin...
and told him first who my heir would be.
He then told it to...
Altun Aba.
The two of them did this.
Hopefully...
it was only the two of them, my sultan.
My Gündüz.
Gündüz, what are you doing?
How are you, my hero? Did the flying horse come?
Who will save you from us now?
Is there a valiant one among you?
When you blinded Ares, who saved you from his hand? You are quick to forget.
Ares chose the way of God and became Ahmet.
But you are going to suffer the consequences of your actions, Titan.
Ahmet?
What Ahmet?
What are you saying?
Ares became a Muslim.
He is now Ahmet.
He is a companion of Ertuğrul Bey now.
You lie.
It can't be.
He is a knight of the sword.
He can't be a Muslim.
If you don't die here before Ertuğrul Bey comes, you'll see for yourself.
Ares saved himself.
You shall join the others Ertuğrul Bey killed before you in Hell.
Gündüz, come.
Ares!
