THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Today, he's asking for the beautiful land given to us by Sultan Alaeddin.
He wants Söğüt.
We know what he'll ask for tomorrow.
What?
If I hand Söğüt over in the negotiations today,
he'll appoint you tomorrow to rule over the lands I've conquered.
His next goal is to see me dead.
Your rage blinds you, Ertuğrul Bey.
My rage sharpens my mind, Günalp Bey.
But blind loyalty is the truth's greatest enemy.
Father!
Mother!
Father! No, don't leave me!
Mother!
Don't come any closer!
Are you Günalp, son of the castle governor, Tayi Bey?
Murderer! You killed my father!
I said, stay there.
Your father, my brave friend Tayi Bey,
was my blood brother.
He was my comrade.
It was the War of the Princes that killed him, not me.
Just like your father did, I fight for Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad, Son.
It will be my duty to avenge your brave mother and father.
Your mother...
your father...
and these soldiers will be avenged.
I'll end this damn War of Princes.
I'll make you an honorable soldier and castle governor,
just like your father.
When the time comes, you'll serve Sultan Alaeddin and our country
just like us.
-The scum set up an ambush. -They're the ones being ambushed.
Time to show us your skills.
Come on then, you dog!
The preparations outside are complete, Eminence.
Good.
Where is this governor? He should be here by now.
It's good to see you again, Sadettin Köpek.
Ares!
Say the word and I'll take this bastard's head!
Stop.
He's mine.
What are you doing here?
Governor Kritos.
I carry a message from him, Sadettin.
Once again... we are united against Ertuğrul.
How did this governor come to send you?
Does he not know
what you did and how you cheated me?
I saved his life.
Ertuğrul was going to execute him.
And I saved his life.
He trusts me. And so he sent me here.
Look, I came unarmed. I have no weapons on me, Sadettin.
My faith in you brought me here.
It would do you well to trust me.
Welcome.
Since you came here yourself, unafraid,
you'll be prepared to pay for what you've done.
Kill them! Kill all of them!
Leave Ertuğrul to me. I want to be the one who takes his head.
For God!
Where did they come from?
Ambush! We've been ambushed!
Thanks, Günalp Bey.
Protect me! Protect me now!
Attack! Attack!
Lead the way. We're not done with you.
Wait, Sadettin, listen to me.
Ertuğrul has moved his tribe to Söğüt.
Kritos is preparing to ambush him.
Kritos sent me here to sign the Söğüt Treaty with you.
We can destroy Ertuğrul together.
To hell with Ertuğrul!
You humiliated me in front of the entire court!
I was dismissed because of you.
My favorite servant, Göktuğ, died because of you.
You thought I would forgive you for all this?
Sadettin, Sadettin. What should I do?
Should I list everything you did?
We must forget the past and cooperate.
Listen to me. Kritos went to ambush Ertuğrul,
but he has no chance of succeeding.
I lost everything because of Ertuğrul. Everything.
We have to work together
if we're to destroy Ertuğrul, and anyone who comes after him.
Hell's Warriors,
they answer to me now.
So, you hate Ertuğrul.
And you came here to make an alliance.
Ertuğrul might have forgiven you.
So might Alaeddin.
But I will not.
Now, you won't get what you hoped for...
but you'll get what you deserve.
Time for you to die, Ares.
Eminence!
Come on, Günalp Bey.
Know the devil you've to make peace with.
-Any martyrs, Dumrul? -No, thank God, my bey.
Good.
Treat the wounded. Send the critical ones to the castle.
As you wish, my bey.
I knew you wanted revenge, Kritos.
You might have captured me today,
but the ones that will follow will avenge me.
Tell me the terms of your collaboration with Emir Sadettin.
That is a peace treaty between two states, Ertuğrul Bey.
I won't stand here and listen to pompous nonsense from a dog like you!
Tell me,
why would a state consider giving another state land as important as Söğüt?
Tell me!
What did Emir Sadettin want in return?
Was it my head?
Did he want my head? Tell me!
Both Emir Sadettin and I want nothing more than to see you dead, Ertuğrul Bey.
Because you really do deserve to die.
What about you, Kritos?
Emir Sadettin wouldn't give Söğüt to secure the peace,
but he would give it to secure your death.
You're only lying about His Eminence because your life is being threatened.
You know...
what will happen when we settle on these lands, Kritos.
Make him kneel.
It doesn't matter who comes,
Söğüt will be Turkish land!
Homeland of the Kayis!
Günalp Bey,
you heard what Emir Sadettin has been doing with your own ears.
Now listen to me, both of you.
Söğüt is mine by right and belongs to my tribe!
No one can take it from us!
We'll settle here and set down roots.
Our children will grow up here.
Now... if you agree to peace on my terms,
I'll let you live, Kritos.
Otherwise, I'll hang your head from the walls of your castle in Bilecik.
Dumrul.
Take the governor. We'll return to the castle.
Anything to say, Günalp Bey?
I have no words to say against your bravery.
But don't expect me to believe what I just heard.
So, you plotted against me?
I didn't do it, Sadettin.
Who sent you here?
Speak!
You asked for me, my Sultan?
You made me Emir Sadettin's puppet.
You killed my father to make me Sultan.
And now?
The wretch you conspired with has made me a prisoner in my own palace.
I even needed his permission to go to war.
If we don't kill Emir Sadettin, he'll kill us.
How so, Mother?
How so?
When my father was dying in the Kayqubadiyah Palace,
his trusted emirs, commanders, followers,
were all gone.
They were too scared to attend my coronation.
I'm completely alone in this palace. Can't you see that?
Ertuğrul Bey was right.
You asked me for the truth and I gave it to you.
I tell the truth.
You can kill me or you can search for the truth.
You decide.
But if you're careless,
just like our sultan was once upon a time,
our country will suffer.
Your carelessness will surrender the country first to Mahperi Hatun
and Altun Aba, and then to Sadettin.
You think you're the state, but suddenly you'll be nothing.
You'll be nothing more than a paper sultan who conspired with his father's killers.
A paper sultan.
Köpek will die, Son.
What?
Taceddin Pervane will kill him.
He sent his best men.
He will die.
What if he can't do it, Mother? What then?
Then I'll admit I threw you to the wolves, Son.
I'll kill him for you myself, if necessary.
Who are you, dog? Tell me!
I know this man. He works for Emir Taceddin.
Emir Taceddin?
Emir Taceddin!
So, Mahperi Hatun conspired with Emir Taceddin to kill me.
What will we do, Eminence?
We'll show them how a conspiracy is done.
My name is Sadettin Köpek.
Nobody conspires against me.
Now we know who set the trap.
If I'd wanted to hurt you I would hardly have stopped him from killing you.
You still don't trust me, Köpek?
Long live Ertuğrul Bey! Long live Ertuğrul Bey!
They don't look like your men, Günalp Bey.
You're right, Ertuğrul Bey. They're not my men.
What's wrong, Artuk Bey?
Who are they?
They come from Konya, Ertuğrul Bey.
The Sultan has issued a decree.
What decree, Aydoğmus?
Courier, read it.
By order of His Highness, Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhusrev,
Karacahisar Castle and authority as frontier bey
will be taken from Ertuğrul Bey.
The new master of Karacahisar Castle
and the new frontier bey will be Günalp Bey.
What did you say?
Artuk Bey. My bey.
What is this man saying?
What do you think you're saying?
Nobody can take the frontier bey position from us. That decree is a lie!
Here is our Sultan's seal. See?
We won't give up the castle that easily.
Those who voice the slightest opposition to the decree
will be hanged as traitors against the Sultan.
Günalp Bey!
Günalp Bey! You knew about this. You knew about it all along.
But know that you won't get away with it.
Calm down, Bamsi Alp. I only just learned of it, just like you.
Bamsi.
He has nothing to do with this.
So who does, my bey?
Emir Sadettin Köpek.
The corpses have been gathered.
Taceddin Kayraldi.
Find that traitor and bring him to me.
His wife's brother works for us. He's there now. It's not far.
I'll be back with him soon.
Good. Reach out to Günalp Bey. Tell him to come here.
I have an important mission for him.
As you command, Eminence.
You've escaped a deadly plot, Sadettin.
And you saved me from a dagger.
You fought with me against my enemies.
You're welcome.
As I said, I came here to make a deal with you.
Not a deal with Governor Kritos, but one with you.
Stay with Governor Kritos.
When the time comes, I'll help you and give you back your title.
But first, we must finish off Ertuğrul and the Kayis.
Your reputation and vengeance...
along with my dynasty, will rise above Ertuğrul's blood.
Ertuğrul's blood? Deal.
From now on, your bey is nothing.
Neither are you!
His rage has cost him his title.
Tomorrow I take back Söğüt.
You little--
Stop!
What are you doing?
Where will violence get you?
I'll show you violence!
Bamsi!
You'll be held accountable for this, Aydoğmus.
Your bey is no longer the frontier bey.
Know your place.
Otherwise, we won't let you live.
Soldiers! Untie Governor Kritos.
Our frontier bey, Günalp Bey, will see him in his chamber.
