THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
How dare you to do this?
How dare you sit on the throne of the Margrave?
How did you get in?
The castle has ridiculously weak spots.
How can you defend such an important castle this way?
How could Ertuğrul entrust you with this castle?
Who do you think you are to sit on that throne,
riddle me this, first.
Know your place.
Why would I answer you?
Who are you?
I am Turgut Bey, leader of the Cavdars.
Who are you?
I came here
from the Ahlat Castle by the orders of Emir Sadettin
and his atabey Altun Aba, and under the edict
of Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev.
Now, my duty is here.
Which Sultan are you speaking of, intendant?
The Sultan whose father was killed by your bey.
Do you hear what you are saying, huh?
That treacherous bey of yours killed our late Sultan
together with the Sultan's aide, Aziz.
He is waiting to die in a dungeon.
Now, I am the ruler of Karacahisar and also the ruler of these lands.
-This is a set up. -Know your place, Head Alp!
Watch your tone.
You are speaking to an intendant of the state.
Bamsı.
Your Ertuğrul Bey sneaked near our late Sultan,
and killed him with poison.
Sultan Gıyaseddin figured
that the murderer was Ertuğrul and had him captured himself.
His sentence is near.
He will have Ertuğrul's body ripped apart.
We will neither obey you, nor those who sent you here.
Are you refusing to obey the state's orders?
Do you think your tribe runs the state?
-The verdict is clear. -What are you saying?
You've been found guilty of being the accomplices
of our late Sultan's murderers.
Soldiers!
Get them.
Kill anyone refusing to surrender for rebelling against the state.
Will you refuse to obey the state's orders...
and kill the soldiers of the state?
Bamsı.
Turgut.
It's not like us to draw our swords against the state.
We won't let anyone say
that the Kayi tribe would kill the state's soldiers.
It would put us in a bad position.
Get them.
For now,
you have the power.
But we won't let this slide.
Not only us...
All the beys of the tribes will question your actions.
Don't worry.
I will summon the beys of all the Turkish tribes.
I will execute you all
in front of them for being Ertuğrul's accomplices.
I can take anything on the chin,
but being locked up for killing our Sultan
saddens me deeply.
Don't despair, Aziz.
I would rather be on the right side and sit in a dungeon,
than to rule my land with injustice and treason.
Our God says,
"Do not lose heart
or despair.
if you are true believers you have the upper hand."
If we ended up in a dungeon for defending what is right,
if fate manifests itself this way,
then,
just like Yusuf the prophet,
we'll enlighten this dungeon with our prayers.
Just like God...
saved His prophet Yusuf from the dungeon and made him the king of Egypt,
He will also show us a way out.
Hopefully so, my Bey. Hopefully so.
You are coming with us, Ertuğrul .
Where are you taking him?
Silence, Aziz.
I won't let Ertuğrul Bey go anywhere alone.
Calm down, Aziz.
I will go and come back, for sure.
They can't do anything.
You are making a mistake.
-Bastard. -You are making a mistake.
Neither us nor our Ertuğrul Bey
have anything to do with the killing of our late Sultan.
This is a mistake.
Shut up already.
This is a mistake.
It seems the demons in the palace have our death sentences in their pockets.
What do we do, Artuk Bey?
Are we just going to wait here doing nothing?
This is a tough set up, Bamsı.
Our state,
our tribe,
and our bey are at stake.
This issue can't be resolved with bravery or swords.
Kaledar Günalp...
He said he came here by orders of Sadettin and Altunaba.
If it's the order of the new Sultan...
Apparently, Emir Sadettin made his candidate the Sultan.
Then...
Then, it's the end of the state.
Our state is gone, Artuk Bey.
And instead, jackals have the authority.
Who is this Altunaba, Artuk Bey?
He is the atabey of Sultan Gıyaseddin.
I am afraid he is the partner in crime
of Emir Sadettin.
Have this murderer kneel down before Emir Sadettin.
So, did the late Sultan pay the price for you to get your position back?
What is next, Sadettin?
You are, Ertuğrul.
You are next.
Did you think it would be that easy?
Well, it's not, Ertuğrul .
You caused so much pain and killed our late Sultan,
so I will make you suffer much more.
We just buried our late Sultan.
Now, it's your turn.
Not only you,
anyone who helped you
will die.
They will all pay for it.
What do you mean, Sadettin?
I know very well
that you wouldn't do such a heinous thing on your own.
Artuk Bey,
Bamsı Alp,
Turgut Bey.
They will get what they deserve just like you will.
I will make you pay for it, Sadettin.
I will.
How?
How will you do that when you are so miserable?
If you think...
you'd be able to deceive our Sultan, just like you deceived
our late Sultan, may he rest in peace,
then you are mistaken.
I can expect anything from you, now.
Excellent.
So you've learned your place.
What about all the things you did to me, huh?
Your slanders.
Huh?
Insulting me so brazenly in front of the officials in the palace...
Did you think I'd forget?
You were going to pay the price for sure.
So I want you to know...
You won't be alone when it happens.
You are hereby released from your duties as Margrave.
Kaledar Günalp Bey is now responsible for managing the castle you conquered.
All of your accomplices will get what they deserve...
just like you.
When the time comes, Günalp Bey will execute all of them.
But you...
Your death will be a feast for the eyes,
the likes of which has never been seen.
I will expose your ripped body in Konya in a cage.
You will die in pain, groaning, in front of your accomplices.
You insulted and humiliated me in front of the officials of the state...
So, I'll give you a humiliating and excruciating death
in front of the people of Konya.
Your accomplices Artuk, Bamsı, and Turgut will be executed too.
And all the beys who are loyal to you will be watching the executions.
Günalp Bey will ruin the reputation of the Kayis,
just like you ruined mine before.
Now,
it's time for you to pay, Sadettin.
Thank God,
we are not afraid of death.
Know that,
I will not let you get away
with this,
and these chains I'm in won't protect you from my rage.
You will die screaming with anger.
It's over.
Do you understand?
Everything is over for you.
Take this murderer away.
The door!
My Alaeddin.
My Sultan.
The father of my son.
You were my everything.
A part of me died with you.
Soldiers.
Mother.
Don't.
We should stand strong in the face of this pain.
How?
How can I stand strong with this pain, my Sultan?
Your brave father went to the grave so young.
I won't be able to get over it for my whole life.
I myself helped them bury him.
I buried him with these damned hands, these accursed hands.
How can you expect me to stand strong?
Those responsible will get what they deserve, Mother.
My Sultan.
Tell me.
Don't you see I'm suffocating. For they are still here,
in our palace, still breathing and alive?
Every time Ertuğrul breathes,
a part of me dies, don't you see it?
Death would be an easy way out for Ertuğrul, Mother.
That will not happen, neither here, nor in the afterlife.
Why are you hesitating to rip Ertuğrul 's body apart, my Sultan?
Why don't you expose Ertuğrul 's corpse in the streets of Konya?
Why don't you feed birds with his rotten corpse?
-Why? -Mother!
Don't.
My Sultan.
There are many people who fought alongside our late Sultan in so many wars.
Those brave people would expect you to take revenge.
Why are you still not doing it?
People expect you to take revenge, son.
Your father awaits peace in his grave.
And you?
You only punish your mother.
Haven't you had enough? Enough of your doubts?
Isn't it enough?
Mother.
Ertuğrul didn't kill my father on his own.
Do you think I'm not enraged?
Don't you see I'm furious?
Do you think I won't hold them accountable
and make them pay for killing my beloved father?
If you don't kill that dog at once, we'll all be under suspicion.
People will think we murdered our late Sultan
so that you can be the Sultan.
Don't let us experience this shame, my Sultan.
Don't. Please don't.
Melike Adile and her son Kilicarslan are behind this scheme.
Mother.
Do you hear what you are saying?
Kilicarslan was the successor of my father.
He was the Crown Prince.
Yet I've become the Sultan.
Officials of the state and the Emirs made me the Sultan.
Now tell me, why would they do such a thing?
I told you I will reveal the people who helped Ertuğrul.
Yet it's not my brother and his mother. They are not murderers.
You should keep this in mind.
Mother, let the traitors be afraid of my fury,
not our own kin.
And get yourself together already.
I'll deal with Ertuğrul when the time comes.
That's the appropriate way.
The door!
Abdur Rahman.
I am much better.
My wounds got better.
I can stand.
Can you help me dress?
Bismillah.
Let's do it, then.
Thank you.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
-Thank you. -Bismillah.
What's up, Yağız Alp?
The news isn't good.
Our Sultan was poisoned while he was hunting.
What?
Is he alive?
Unfortunately, no.
Damn it.
Our Sultan has passed away.
What about Ertuğrul Bey?
He is in a dungeon for killing our late Sultan.
-Emir Sadettin. -Tomorrow,
the sentence of Ertuğrul Bey will be given.
How is that even possible?
What kind of slander is that?
-This is a set up. -Let's gather the alps.
We need to save our Bey.
-Come on, brothers. -Abdur Rahman, wait.
Günkut.
If we attack the Palace before Sultan Gıyaseddin decides,
it will all be worse.
What do we do, then?
Will we just sit here doing nothing?
They are going to kill our Bey for no reason, brother.
We can't even attack to the palace in this situation.
But, we can attack the place of execution
if they decide to execute him.
And then, we can fight with all we have to save our Ertuğrul Bey.
Lady Mahperi.
It seems Ertuğrul poisoned our Sultan with his words.
He has so many doubts.
He's in doubt.
Yet his passion is superior to his doubts.
Sooner or later, he will question me.
He is cooling his anger for now.
Afterwards, he will go after the murderers of his father.
What if our Sultan figures out we played a part in the killing?
He will never learn that.
Even if he does,
he will have to keep silent for the sake of our state.
Summon Emir Sadettin here.
I'll discuss this issue and the new order of the state with him.
Come back safe and sound, son.
Don't forget to pray, Mother.
-Mother Hayme, may I come in? -Come.
What's up, son?
Ertuğrul Bey is in a dungeon
for the killing of the Sultan.
What did you say?
Do you hear what you are saying, alp?
Who did that?
The new Sultan, Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev.
My bey, I don't know how to say that.
Kaledar Günalp Bey, who was sent by the Sultan,
put Artuk Bey, Bamsı Alp, and Turgut Bey in jail
for helping Ertuğrul Bey.
They are to be executed too.
Oh, God.
How is this possible?
How come?
Bamsı.
-Bamsı. -Hafsa.
Oh my days.
I will raid the palace and save my brother if it's what it takes, Mother.
And we will go to the castle and do what's necessary, Mother.
-Excuse us. -Stop!
Stop.
Neither will they let you in the castle,
nor will you be able to save Ertuğrul by raiding a great palace.
We already have Emir Sadettin's sword on our necks.
These actions would be too much.
We'll go to Konya.
Halime knows the palace very well.
We'll do what's necessary when we get there.
What about our beys, Mother Hayme?
Sungur Bey will take care of it.
Now, our tribe and the lives of our beys are entrusted in him.
Come on, let's get ready and be on our way.
God, help us.
Bastard. Degenerate.
He told you all these things without any shame, huh?
What do we do, my Bey?
Will we just sit here and wait?
There is always a way, Aziz.
There is only one hope left in this dire situation.
And that is...
Sultan Gıyaseddin.
He thinks you killed his father, my Bey.
How come he is the hope?
No.
No, that's enough.
You are lying. All of these are lies.
Your pain is as strong as your rage, my Prince.
I thought you were associated with the traitors
and I was worried for our state.
Thank God,
now I believe you are as clear as water.
You are a demon infiltrating my soul.
I hate your lies and slanders.
I told you to shut up.
My words are the truth, my Prince.
You should know that nothing is as painful as the truth.
Now be a strong man just like your father.
Be a strong man, so that you can save our state
from the claws of the traitors and bastards.
Those who you call traitors are my tutor and mother.
Damn you, Ertuğrul .
I will kill you.
I swear to God, I will kill you.
My blood won't be enough to cover up the truth, my Prince.
What are you saying?
You wanted the truth.
And I gave it to you.
My words are true.
You can kill me if you like,
or you can pursue the truth.
It's up to you.
But,
if you fool yourself
just like our Sultan did before,
our state will pay the price.
And then, you'll hand over our state
to Lady Mahperi, Altunaba, and then to Emir Sadettin's dirty hands.
You'd think that you are the state, but you'll know you are actually nothing.
A so-called sultan who is associated with his father's killers.
I'll cut you with my dagger, Ertuğrul .
Not only you, I'll kill all your accomplices.
Do you hear me?
Do you think Prince Gıyaseddin is tough enough to pursue the truth?
I mean, he will be facing his mother, his tutor and Sadettin.
Sultan Gıyaseddin has good intentions.
I don't know if he is strong enough.
But...
I believe he'll do all he can for justice to prevail.
My brothers sent this letter, my Bey.
The information you were seeking is also here.
Read it, Aziz. What does it say?
Nasuriddin Ali.
He was a slave of Emir Sadettin.
Sadettin gifted him to our late Sultan.
And then, thanks to Sadettin,
he ascended quickly within the state .
I don't like the layout of the tribes.
The tribes will be settling according to my plans, not Ertuğrul's.
Get rid of every alp in the castle and the Bazaar.
We replaced them all.
We are positioned everywhere.
All right.
They'll do all they can to prevent the executions tomorrow.
Take the necessary precautions.
Place our men within the people disguised as civilians.
As you order.
When the surrounding beys arrive,
they'll witness the execution of Ertuğrul 's accomplices.
It's not just Ertuğrul's men, his reputation will perish, too.
Our Sultan will take his life,
and I will take his reputation.
If we don't do that,
we will have to deal with the revolts of the tribes.
I will have all of them know
that in the name of our state, I'm the new ruler of these lands.
Who are you, what do you want?
Go inform Günalp Bey.
Sungur Tekin, son of Suleyman Shah, is here to see him.
Son of Suleyman Shah...
Günalp Bey is busy. Go back to your tribe.
Get them out, don't let anyone in.
Stop.
Inform Günalp Bey,
that Sungur Tekin, son of Suleyman Shah, is here.
Either he sees me,
or I'll cut this one's throat
and knock down the doors to see him.
Go!
