THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
You wouldn't dare kill me in front of my soldiers
so you brought me to your pavilion, Ertuğrul Bey?
I didn't call you here to kill you,
but to make you realize the truth that you've been blind to.
What do you mean?
You're my guest.
We know how to take care of a guest.
Like how you took care of Tekfur Kritos?
Tekfur Kritos managed to get away from me.
But Söğüt is mine.
I want to talk to you
about the new place that Kayıs will immigrate to.
Söğüt will be Kayıs' castle.
Since you're my lord in command,
I'd like to make use of your good ideas.
Are you ready for you first duty under my command, Günalp Bey?
What are you after, Ertuğrul Bey?
You should know that I'm always after God's path.
Let's see if you are, too.
We'll see about that tomorrow.
Our state won't be at peace while our Sultan is following Ertuğrul
just like his late father did.
What will you do, Sadettin?
Kemalettin Kamyar, Kayır Han, Hüsamettin Kamyeri are restless,
angry with us. They've got a very powerful army.
We still haven't managed to provide stability in our state.
These Emirs are committed to the state first.
After Şehzade Kılıçarslan's death,
they won't even dare make a move.
We'll keep them on duty outside of Konya.
But first, tomorrow we'll come together in Sultan's presence
and take Ertuğrul's Beylic away from him.
It's time to teach the limits to this naive Sultan who
did horrible deeds even to his own mother.
Otherwise,
all of our positions would be threatened.
If this continues, Kayıs will start ruling the palace, not Emirs.
I'm afraid Kayıs' and Ertuğrul's reign
will be the end of us.
We won't let this happen.
So,
how will we manage to save the Sultan from his own ignorance?
Our Sultan wants to
come back with a victory from
his Amid campaign that his father left unfinished
to prove his monarchy.
But he'll learn that he's got nothing...
...if he doesn't have us.
Taceddin Pervane...
...what do you think?
You thought of it very well, Emir Sadettin.
First we have to finish Ertuğrul off.
Tomorrow we'll put the Sultan in his place.
He'll learn about the supreme interests of the state.
Yes, he will.
Good.
So tomorrow,
we'll put the Sultan in his place,
and dig Ertuğrul's grave.
-My Halime. -Welcome, Ertuğrul.
Thank you, my Halime.
I've got things to tell you.
Tell me, Bey.
Tomorrow, with God's help, we will start the battle for our new home.
If we clean the way before we start the immigration,
it'll be better for us.
I'd like to get your blessings before I leave.
Give me your blessings, my Halime.
I give you my blessings.
Give me your blessings too.
May your sword stay intact.
May your horse never stumble.
God willing, my Halime.
God willing.
Why are we immigrating to Söğüt, father?
Because it was given to us as our home, son.
If we don't, the heathens will get it.
We can't give our home to heathens, father.
Of course not.
Let me tell you a saga of our ancestors.
Come here.
Once upon a time, Turks
lived in a place called Kamlançu
where it was surrounded by brooks.
Turks sent armies all over.
Everyone obeyed them.
They had a huge rock at their home.
They called this rock The Holy Mountain.
After five generations, one day
a Khan came to the throne.
This Khan married a Chinese princess.
Chinese intented to trick this Khan
through this princess and weaken the Turks.
So one day, the Chinese got together.
They said, "The amity and
the power of the Turks
comes from a rock that's called The Holy Mountain."
So they asked for this rock from the Khan.
Khan gave it to them without hesitation.
Chinese took the rock,
broke it into pieces and took it home.
After that day, Turks started to go through some disasters.
The brooks dried out.
The trees died.
A famine took over the Turks' home.
The impulsive Khan died within seven days.
His successors died quickly as well.
Under these circumstances, Turks
woke up one day, hearing the words of "immigration".
They realized all the animals, trees and mountains were whimpering
the word "immigration".
Turks started to immigrate by listening to these divine sounds.
Until they got their amity and power back.
Have we been immigrating since that day as well, father?
Yes, son.
We've been immigrating since that day.
I hope our amity continues in our new home, father.
I hope so, son.
I hope so.
But you should learn from the saga.
If you give a piece of rock
to your enemy, let alone your home, disasters will follow us.
We won't leave Söğüt to the enemy.
We'll immigrate and get our amity and power back, if God permits.
I hope so, father.
When I grow up, I want to go to China and take that rock back.
I'll take my brothers with you.
Praise be!
Let's wait for your new sibling to arrive.
All of you together will revive our tribe, if God permits.
God willing.
Come on, go to bed.
Aslıhan Hatun,
we've been talking about the immigration matter with Beys.
Everyone is on the same page with us.
No one wants to move the village to Söğüt.
You're Candar Bey's daughter.
You're the Hatun of Çavdar Tribe.
You wanted to marry Turgut Bey, we were okay with it.
You wanted to make him the Bey, we were okay with it.
But we're not okay with immigrating.
According to traditions, Beys can't decide by themselves.
If the other Beys say no, this can't happen.
My Beys,
we are under Ertuğrul Bey's reign now.
We joined our villages.
He is our frontiersman.
Would Ertuğrul Bey take his own people
if this immigration wasn't beneficial and necessary?
That's not our business, Aslıhan Hatun.
If Ertuğrul Bey thinks this is the right thing to do for
his people, he can take them away. But this is our decision.
You can go with your Bey, if you wish.
We'll stay here as Çavdars.
Giddy up!
My Ahmet...
There are important things that you need to know about.
Tell me.
Who's this man, Sungur Bey?
He's a friend of Ertuğrul Bey.
Tekfur Kritos
will be waiting at Söğüt, just as you predicted.
He's determined to get his son's revenge.
He'll bring along a lot of men.
The horse that Titan brought with him and Hell Warriors will be there as well.
They'll learn their lesson today, Ahmet.
My Bey, there's more to it.
I'd like to be by your side and make them
spit blood during this ambush.
However, Tekfur Kritos assigned me a very important duty.
What is this duty?
Emir Sadettin and Tekfur Kritos agreed to
meet at the caravansary.
They want to co-operate to kill you.
Tekfur Kritos,
wants me to meet Emir Sadettin as his messenger.
My Bey, if you'd like...
...if you'd let me
I'd like to kill Emir Sadettin.
If you win Sadettin's trust
we'd know about the games both the Emperor and Sadettin play.
You're right, Bey.
Ahmet.
The grudge Emir Sadettin holds against you is enormous.
Be cautious.
Don't you worry, Bey. I'll take care of myself.
May God help you.
Thank you, Bey.
Godspeed, my brave man.
Hey!
Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev.
Are the preparations for Amid campaign ready, Cemaleddin?
Our army is ready.
However, we are all worried, my Sultan.
Why do you worry?
As if the Mongolians weren't enough,
now we have to deal with Ertuğrul, my Sultan.
Emir Sadettin,
I don't want to hear one more word about Ertuğrul.
Do I need to repeat myself?
My Sultan.
There have been some gossips in Konya about Ertuğrul Bey.
What are they saying?
They say you...
...worked together with Ertuğrul Bey to kill your father.
What did you say?
My Sultan...
...getting angry at Georgian Zahireddin
won't solve this matter.
Everyone in this council knows that you have no such
evil in your heart.
Where are you going with this?
There are no more words to say, my Sultan.
Once again, Ertuğrul Bey caused a lot of trouble for us.
Tell me.
Ertuğrul rejected the peace treaty that we were going to sign with Tekfur Kritos.
As if this wasn't enough, he attempted to murder Tekfur Kritos.
Moreover, he's keeping Günalp Bey imprisoned.
Why would he do that?
He's getting ready for a revolt against your reign, my Sultan.
My Sultan, Emir Sadettin is right.
Ertuğrul Bey must be stopped.
This won't end well, my Sultan.
All things considered,
it's not possible to come back with a victory from the Amid campaign.
My Sultan, we're all worried about you going on the Amid campaign
with your army, since a troublemaker
like Ertuğrul Bey is making a fuss on our western borders.
Do you want me to decapitate
Ertuğrul Bey who I trust completely?
No.
I know, my Sultan.
The Amid campaign is very important for you.
This campaign is
very important to prove to the people
that you are a great Sultan.
But we as the council, don't think
it's right to go on Amid campaign
when we have a troublemaker like Ertuğrul Bey.
So what do you want from me?
Seems like Ertuğrul Bey
doesn't want to give Söğüt that was assigned as home
by our late Sultan to anyone else.
Fine.
So he can keep Söğüt as home.
Let him serve our government from there.
Let him cheer us up with his conquests.
Let him be the shield for the threats against our state.
So we can know that the brave Ertuğrul Bey
is protecting our state
as the shield of our western borders.
But not as a frontiersman.
His existence as a frontiersman is a threat to our state.
Under these circumstances, we'd like you to take away
his position and assign Günalp Bey instead.
When you seal the order that I prepared
we'll be ready to go on the Amid campaign for you.
Sir...
...following your advice...
I'm trying to get to know our Prophet better and
as I get to know him, I love this holy man even more.
However,
there are things that I'm still curious about.
I'd like to ask you if you let me.
Go ahead, son.
Sir.
What is...
...Islam?
Islam means devotion, son.
What matter is to submit to God...
...and to lead a life what God wants and mortify the flesh.
To make our Prophet Muhammad Mustafa your guide.
Islam is the only religion that covers all the monotheistic religions, son.
Almighty God commands in Quran,
"The only religion in the eyes of God is Islam."
In another verse, he commands
"Today, I made your religion perfect,
I completed my blessing for you
and I chose Islam as your religion."
Thank God...
...for letting me follow
such a holy religion.
Amen.
May God let me live this religion properly.
Amen, son.
So, sir...
What am I supposed to do...
...to be a good Muslim?
You must be a reliable person.
Our Prophet commands,
"A Muslim is a person who makes people trust himself by what he says and does."
He made an example by living this life.
That holy person was so reliable that
even polytheists would entrust their valuables to him.
Before our Prophet immigrated with Ebubekir, he had some valuables
that he was entrusted with.
Do you know whose valuables were they, son?
Of those polytheists who tried to murder him.
And before our Prophet immigrated
he designated Ali to to deliver their valuables.
Imagine a community
who attempts to murder a man
but also entrust their valuables to only this man.
That's what...
...being trustworthy means.
There's so much wisdom in this.
We have to follow our Prophet's example in every case.
We should act like he did as much as we can.
Only then we can be a good Muslim.
If we start something with a good intention and make an effort,
God will make up for it.
I'm so lucky to be among the people of such a holy man.
May God let me become one of the people who try.
Amen.
Sir.
Ertuğrul Bey has given me an important duty.
Maybe at the end of the journey that I'm on, comes death.
So, before I go on my way...
...I want you to pray for me.
Good faith will follow someone who has good intentions.
God will be by your side on your holy case.
Our prayer are always with you
and those who fight for God's cause.
Thank you, sir.
Godspeed and good luck, son.
Praise be!
I have never seen such fertile lands, Bey.
You kept your promise, Ertuğrul Bey.
If Gündoğdu was here today,
he'd be so proud of you.
I hope we'll see that day, brother.
I hope Gündoğdu brother and you will immigrate here as well.
When I get back, I'll talk about this with Gündoğdu Bey.
Because I agree with you.
What do you think, Günalp Bey?
Good lands.
A village could live here and herds would be fed.
However it's right by the heathens.
You'll be too busy fighting.
Especially Tekfur Kritos can't stand the fact that you'll live here.
You killed his son.
You destroyed his reputation at the castle.
He'll do anything to get his revenge.
That's fine. We're here to see that happen.
I wanted you to see personally
that Emir Sadettin who you trust so much and his men are trying to sign
a peace treaty with this kind of a man.
What does that mean?
Tekfur Kritos
and Emir Sadettin are allies.
However,
this alliance is not about peace,
but about betrayal to the state.
Be careful about what you say.
You'll see soon how bad of a betrayal...
...we're about to face and how
unaware you were, Günalp Bey.
Come on.
Kayıs entered the valley, sir.
How many are there?
Not much.
Ertuğrul Bey and about ten Alps.
Easy catch.
It's the best place for the pasture. They'd like to feed their herds.
They'll only feed the coyotes and ravens with their dead bodies.
Leon.
Get back to the castle.
Get back and protect it.
Yes, sir.
It's time for revenge.
Are you ready to kill the Turks?
We're ready! Blood, blood, blood!
Revenge, revenge, revenge!
Let's go!
Sadettin convinced Atabey Altun Aba after he convinced the Sultan.
He and the Emirs close to him threatened the Sultan with preventing his campaign.
Sadettin's intention is
to kill Ertuğrul and remove the obstacles in front of him one by one.
I'm afraid after Ertuğrul dies,
he'll also kill our Sultan.
And you'll be the only obstacle left.
I worry that he'll kill you too.
There's nothing to worry about, Taceddin Pervane.
That's the reality.
You and I are the next targets of Sadettin.
What we have to do is take measures.
You have to stop him, Taceddin Pervane.
How?
How will I do this?
You have to do this for
the soundness of our state and my son's reign.
You'll kill Sadettin Köpek!
Send your men after him right away.
He'll go to the caravansary to meet Tekfur Kritos.
This should end here.
We can't tolerate it anymore.
What about Ertuğrul?
His time will come too.
But first, Sadettin must die.
I know Emir Sadettin is like a father to you.
That's why you think he never puts a foot wrong.
He did everything he could to assign you as a frontiersman here.
For now, I could stop him.
But I know that...
...he won't give up.
He'll convince our Sultan to take away my Beylic
with any threat he can come up with.
You don't know Emir Sadettin, Ertuğrul Bey.
Even if you were right, he has no reason to do this.
You disobeyed the state's order by breaking the peace treaty.
You'll cause the end of your Beylic yourself.
Give up when it's early on.
Today he asked for this beautiful land Söğüt that our Sultan Alaeddin
granted to me.
I know what he'll ask for tomorrow.
What's that?
If I give him Söğüt on the peace table,
tomorrow he'll use you
and try to assign you to lead the lands that I conquered.
His next mission will be
to kill me.
You're blinded by your rage, Ertuğrul Bey.
Our rage
sharpens our minds, Günalp Bey.
However a blind loyalty
is the biggest enemy of reality.
