THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
My henchmen.
My emirs.
My assistants.
Our sultan...
is going on an expedition with his white shroud.
He will go to his final home tomorrow.
We have been waiting for this day.
And you have been preparing for this day.
Thank you.
Now...
I want you all
to swear on the Quran, and take an oath of allegiance
to Shahzade Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev,
as the sultan of the Seljuk Sultanate.
I swear on the Quran that I recognize
Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev as sultan, and I will obey him,
and protect him with my life.
Murderer!
Kill him!
Now it is time to finish you off, Titan.
If you think I will beg, you are very wrong.
I am not a coward like Angelos,
and I'm not a traitor like Ares.
It doesn't matter if you beg, bastard.
It doesn't matter.
As we sent the other bastard's head to the tekfur,
so we will send your head to the emperor.
The emperor will trample your tribes down.
Your end is near, there is no escape.
We took many heads from you.
And we made...
your castles and caverns collapse around you.
Your coward emperor should face us in an open battle,
instead of hiding in his palace.
You are all going to die.
Just as I killed Samsa.
I still remember that moment.
He was moaning in pain with every stroke of my sword.
I slaughtered him with pleasure.
Then I left him in a pool of blood.
He was...
in the agony of death...
Allahu akbar!
I have prepared it as you requested.
Ertuğrul Bey should taste it, too.
Thank you, Nasuraddin Ali.
Our Shahzade and our soldiers want you to join them in the feast, Sultan.
Shahzade Gıyaseddin asks for permission to see you.
Not now, Nasuraddin.
I will summon him before me when the time comes.
What are you waiting for?
I ordered them to catch Sadettin, and bring him to the palace.
Who else is a part of this treason?
Do you have anybody in mind, Ertuğrul?
I suspect whoever is close to Altun Aba, Sultan.
When I declared Shahzade Kılıçarslan as my heir,
Mahperi Hatun stayed silent.
But, right after that,
she asked me to spare Sadettin's life.
I suspect that...
Mahperi Hatun is also involved in this treason, Ertuğrul Bey.
You will take the road tomorrow.
I am worried for Shahzade Kılıçarslan
and Melike Hatun's lives.
Take them and bring them to my palace.
Now, I only trust you, Ertuğrul Bey.
And I will go back to the palace and finish them all off.
However,
I can't stop worrying, Ertuğrul.
What if my son Gıyaseddin is also involved in the treason?
Shahzade Gıyaseddin is too young, Sultan.
I don't think he would be a part of this treason.
I hope not, Ertuğrul Bey.
I hope not.
Now, it is time to talk to Shahzade Gıyaseddin.
Aziz!
Bring Shahzade Gıyaseddin to me.
My God,
don't make me go through this.
Thank God,
we survived another calamity
with solidarity,
and by standing as strong as a rock.
-Thank God. -Thank God.
My children.
Artuk Bey.
Ibn Al Arabi.
Now, you are all here with me,
I can't ask for more than that.
May God never make us feel
resentment again.
-Amen. -Amen.
Every enormity comes with a test.
What is important is to acknowledge and pass that test.
Turgut Bey lost himself in vanity,
but actually it was a test for him.
And he passed the test, thank God.
And he passed it well.
As God commands in the Quran:
"Nor walk on the earth with insolence.
For thou canst not rend the earth asunder,
nor reach the mountains in height."
Turgut Bey understood it better.
If it hadn't been for this,
maybe he was going to go through it another time,
and it would've caused bigger problems.
Now, his friendship with Bamsi is stronger, thank God.
It is.
When we were children,
we cut our palms with a dagger
and became blood brothers.
Its scar is still here.
Nothing...
can erase that, brother.
My blood brother.
My dear brother.
Can I be your baby's blood brother when he is born, Bamsi Alp?
We don't know if it's a boy or girl yet.
But if it is a boy, you will be his blood brother.
Just like Ertuğrul Bey and us.
Thank God.
I will make him ride sheep.
It makes it easier to learn how to ride a horse.
Yes, you will. You will, Gündüz.
And then, you'll take a sheep on your shoulders
and run to the mountains. You'll practice.
God willing.
Sultan, I have summoned the Shahzade.
What if...
his mother pulled him into this treason?
Sultan?
I am fine.
What if my son Gıyaseddin...
is working with the traitors who want to kill me?
I can't stop thinking about it, Ertuğrul.
Sultan!
Sultan.
Sultan!
Aziz, get the head doctor. Fast!
Sultan!
Ertuğrul Bey...
If something happens to me,
take care of my son, Shahzade Kılıçarslan,
and his mother.
If we were right,
they will kill them both.
Don't you...
ever forget my words.
Yes, Sultan.
Sir,
you will recite the azan into his ear,
God willing.
God willing, son.
God willing.
Sultan.
Sultan!
Father...
Father!
Father.
Father!
Gıyaseddin.
You...
You will...
tell me...
the truth.
Father...
Father, please talk to me.
Talk to me, please, Father!
Father!
Sultan, open your eyes. Sultan.
Sultan?
What are you waiting for? My father is dying, hurry!
The sultan was poisoned.
What are you saying?
Who would do this, how?
Shahzade, let the head doctor do his job.
What are you doing here, Ertuğrul Bey?
Aziz.
Hasn't our Sultan said this man is dangerous,
and you should arrest him?
What is he doing with our sultan?
May God
help the Muslim world.
Shahzade,
the sultan has discovered that Ertuğrul Bey is innocent.
That's why he is here with him.
Shahzade, we need to take the sultan to Kayqubadiye Palace, fast.
I can't do much here.
We must hurry.
I think he got food poisoning.
Take my father now. Take him right now!
And bring the head cook to me!
We are taking the sultan to Kayqubadiye Palace.
Hurry up.
Come on.
Go!
Commander.
Arrest Ertuğrul Bey.
I want to question him.
Ertuğrul Bey, don't you dare move.
I have also something to tell you, Shahzade Gıyaseddin.
I hope you are strong enough to stand what you'll hear.
I, Emir Sadettin Köpek,
am returning with power....
to the palace from which I was expelled.
I had become Subaşi Sadettin first,
and then Emir Sadettin.
And now,
it is time to be Sultan Sadettin.
Our way is God's way, we devoted our lives to it.
They can't stop us with these shackles.
Even if we are hanged,
our lasts words will be "Justice forever".
Let them think that they can embank us.
But we will overflow like rivers,
and destroy their barriers.
This road was full of fire and thorns,
and I've walked it slowly but surely.
I've never given up.
I've never surrendered.
I have been patient.
Now, the real journey will begin.
Sadettin the architect
will create his biggest work.
He will rebuild the state.
The Seljuk dynasty
will continue with Sultan Sadettin.
Poor Sultan Alaeddin.
You never listened to me.
Look,
the state will live forever through me,
not you.
Rest in peace.
A competent vizier like Emir Sadettin
will govern this state,
not an adolescent like your son Gıyaseddin.
Even the sultan couldn't stand against me.
Who will save you from my wrath, Ertuğrul?
I will...
break you and your tribe to pieces!
Your Eminence.
Everybody is ready for the sultan's funeral, Emir Almighty.
Good.
Let's go and do our last duty for the sultan.
Hereafter, we are the state, Kayraldı.
Our power is great.
So is our responsibility.
I need you to remain loyal to me on this path.
You can behead me here if you have any doubts about it.
I brought you my own brother's head once.
I'd sacrifice mine, too,
if you said so.
You are with me. I know that, Kayraldı.
Let's go.
We will bury...
Sultan Alaeddin and his time in the ground will commence.
Then, our time will begin.
Who are you, Alp?
What's your name?
Are you Ertuğrul Bey's son?
How wonderful.
A brave man like his father.
I have never seen you before.
What's your name?
My name is Sungur Tekin, Gündüz Bey.
Sungur Tekin?
So, you are...
Yes, I am.
I am your Uncle Sungur Tekin, young man.
Come.
Brave boy.
Tell me, where is your grandmother Hayme?
Let's go.
My precious.
May I come in, Grandmother?
Come in.
What is it, Gündüz Alp?
Ertuğrul got into mischief again, Mother Hayme.
He has become a very mischievous boy. What will we do with him?
-My son! -Mother.
Mother.
My son!
Mother.
My son. My dear son.
Let me kiss your hand.
My brave boy.
My dark-eyed son.
It is so good to see you again.
I have been missing you a lot.
Welcome.
It is great to have you here.
Thank you, Mother.
Thank you.
I've been longing to see you.
Now I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Welcome, Brother.
Thank you, Halime Hatun.
Thank you.
And is he Savcı Alp, Halime Hatun?
Yes, he is Savcı Alp, brother.
God bless him.
Amen.
May God give them long lives.
Amen.
Wonderful.
Gündüz Alp.
Open my bag.
I have brought you presents.
Brother, you should rest, you must be tired.
Let's wash your hands.
Come here, son, let's sit there.
Come.
-Here, brother. -Thank you.
In the name of God.
Thank you.
Let me take that.
Thank you, Halime Hatun.
Where are Gündoğdu and Dündar?
Are they on the way?
They stayed at the tribe, Mother.
To join Sultan's Amid campaign.
They will be here shortly, God willing.
May God help them all.
So...
where is our loose cannon Ertuğrul Bey?
Did he go to hunt some animals, or some heathen?
What is it, Mother?
Is something wrong?
He went neither hunting...
nor after a heathen.
He went...
Mother.
Halime Hatun.
What happened?
Brother,
you are going to Ertuğrul Bey with 100 gold coins,
and I want to go with you.
I can't wait for you here
while you are struggling, brother.
You stay here, brother.
Who will ensure the safety of both tribes, if you are gone too?
Turgut is right, Bamsi.
I am responsible for the castle and bazaar,
and you're responsible for the tribes.
We can't wait anymore. I am going right away.
Okay, brother. Okay.
I hope you will return with the bey, safe and secure.
We will, God willing.
May I come in, Artuk Bey?
Come in.
Bey, Kaledar Günalp Bey is approaching to the castle.
He has a lot of soldiers with him.
What is it, Artuk Bey? Who is this Kaledar?
We will see.
Let's go and meet him.
Let's see who this man is.
Open the door.
Emir Sadettin...
No, Mother.
I won't leave Ertuğrul alone.
I will gather the alps, and go to him. That bastard would do anything.
Neither Emir Sadettin nor Mahperi Hatun will stop going after him.
I can't sit here in this tent
while my brother is risking his life.
Go, son.
Go and stand with your brother.
And shed blood for our state, for our unity, if needed.
Kill, if needed.
You will sacrifice your own lives, if needed.
You are Suleyman Shah's sons.
God bless you.
Thank you.
Turgut Bey also wants to go to Ertuğrul Bey.
He went to the castle with Lead Alp Bamsi to discuss it with Artuk Bey.
Thank you, Aslıhan Hatun.
Then, I am not alone, Mother.
Don't you worry.
I will make arrangements, and get the alps.
I want to help my brother, before he becomes putty
in traitors' hands.
Goodbye.
This must be Günalp Bey.
He looks pompous.
Welcome, Günalp Bey.
I am not Günalp Bey.
I am his aid, Aydoğmus.
We have been told that you'd come with Günalp Bey.
He is here, too.
He must have taken his seat inside already.
Are you crazy?
What are you saying? Is this man a genie?
How can he be inside?
And you said...
he's taken his seat.
Günalp Bey flies like a hawk,
and he infiltrates like a wolf.
You can go and see for yourselves.
You just wait here.
Let's go and see if he's really sneaked in.
