NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
May your work be easy.
-Thank you, Halime Hatun. -Thank you, Halime Hatun.
-May your work be easy. -Thank you.
Good luck.
Look at what she's carrying.
Alçiçek, take those jars off her.
-Let me, Hafsa Hatun. -Alçiçek, I'm fine. Thank you.
Here.
How many times have I told you not to carry heavy things?
You could hurt the child in your belly.
You keep working as if you don't already have enough of a burden to carry!
Come here, come and sit down.
Alçiçek, bring Hafsa some water. She needs to rest.
Halime Hatun, I'm not able to help you in the rug house because of the baby,
at least let me help you by bringing you water.
Hafsa, if I told Mother about this she'd be furious.
She'd say, "Are you trying to harm my grandson?"
Here, Hafsa Hatun.
Thank you, Alçiçek.
Thank you.
Why is that rug not finished?
It was Aslıhan Hatun's.
Half-finished.
Whenever I try to complete it,
my hands shake...
and my heart aches.
It will remain unfinished, like her life, like her happiness.
But our beys will exact revenge on the one who did this to her, Hafsa.
The one who cut her down in the spring of her life will perish.
We should think of our children.
I have two in my tent and one growing inside me.
And yours will be here soon.
God willing, our beys will come back safe to us.
I beg God that they get the chance to kiss and embrace their children.
God willing, Hafsa. God willing.
They travel a difficult path not just for their own children,
but for the children of all our kin, and for those who will come after.
May god grant them speed.
Amen.
I'm going to check the rugs.
Hafsa Hatun!
Hafsa!
Halime!
Bring water, Alçiçek!
Hafsa? Sister?
Hafsa!
Hafsa, wake up.
Bring water!
-God save her. -Sister!
Hafsa? Hafsa, my sister?
My God, my God, help her. Hafsa!
Wake up, Hafsa Hatun.
Hafsa? Sister! Hafsa!
-May I enter, my bey? -Come.
Any word on Ertuğrul?
We've been watching the tribe closely. But there's no sign of Ertuğrul.
Where are you, Ertuğrul?
We should confront them, my bey. Frighten him into returning.
We could even take Hanlı Bazaar from them. What's stopping us?
-They'd be so scared they'd obey. -How many times must I say this, Aydoğmus?
Ertuğrul took Hanlı Bazaar by the right of his sword.
It would go against our laws to usurp that right.
It belongs to the Kayi. It provides them with a living.
-Then the tribe-- -We'll not touch the tribe, either.
The innocent should not be made to suffer because of Ertuğrul.
You think this is the way to treat an emir who has dedicated his life to his state?
You'll pay a heavy price for this.
Be silent!
You'll be free of this torture once you're put to death.
God, give me patience!
Emir Kamyeri.
We'll take down the two men on either side of him first.
Then we'll draw our swords and tear them apart.
We're being attacked!
God is infinite!
-Will you tell me your name? -Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah.
So, you're the bey of the Kayi.
May God bless you.
You're welcome.
The life of any man who is loyal to the state is important to us.
And at times like this, when there are traitors everywhere,
we can't allow a single good man to be lost.
Husamettin Karaca.
If you hadn't arrived, those bastards would've killed me.
As long as that traitor Sadettin Köpek is around to pull their strings,
-we must stand united. -You're right.
First, we must get you free of these chains.
My loyal friend, Ares.
-Welcome. -Governor Kritos.
-Thank you. -Sit down.
It's good to see you again.
I hope you've brought good news from Nicaea.
It happened exactly as I thought it would, Kritos.
The emperor agreed to give you an army.
As soon as the army is ready, it will depart.
God save the emperor!
We'll finally be able to throw the Turks out of this land.
Ares, with this army, we can take not only Söğüt but Karacahisar as well.
Sir, if you'll excuse me.
Meet Emir Sadettin on his way to Samsat
and persuade him to settle his cantonment in Sivas, Husamettin Bey.
As Emir Sadettin's guest,
you can then pass us information about his army.
Then we'll move.
When Sadettin is with you in his tent, we'll attack and bring him down.
Husamettin, you know Sadettin doesn't trust you or Togan Bey.
Husamettin Karaca will tell Sadettin that he killed you.
And that he'll obey him.
How can I, Ertuğrul Bey?
You'll tell him Emir Kamyeri sought refuge with you after escaping, Husamettin Bey.
You'll tell him you carried out the execution personally,
fulfilling the death warrant Emir Sadettin had issued.
How will I prove it?
You'll give Emir Sadettin Emir Kamyeri's cap and ring.
Good thinking, Ertuğrul Bey. Sadettin will certainly recognize my ring.
It'll be easy for Husamettin to convince him.
Once you've won Köpek's trust,
you'll pass on to us what you've discovered.
I'll do whatever's necessary, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you.
Our enemy is wicked and your task difficult.
May God help you, brave men.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
It's a war between the tyrannical and the oppressed, God and superstition,
treachery and loyalty.
May God help us all.
-Amen. -Amen.
Your Eminence, Günalp Bey has disobeyed your orders
and refuses to take any action against the Kayi tribe.
As a result, we have found no trace of Ertuğrul Bey.
If I advance on the Kayi, I may learn Ertuğrul's location.
But Günalp Bey will not allow this.
To find Ertuğrul, you will have to put Günalp Bey out of action.
I look forward to receiving your orders. Your loyal servant, Aydoğmus.
Your Eminence.
You thought our Seljuk state...
was weak just because...
a young sultan had ascended the throne.
You rebelled against our state.
Well...
you never stopped to consider the wrath of Sadettin Köpek, did you?
Did you really think you could get away with it?
You were as good as dead the moment you did.
-Your Eminence, I have news. -What is it?
Kamyeri managed to escape before he was taken to the castle to be hanged.
What the hell are you saying?
How many lives did we sacrifice to find Kamyeri?
How could this happen?
The men escorting him were killed.
You're doomed, Sadettin! You're doomed!
You'll never succeed in this!
Is that so?
You'll be hanged for this treason!
Is that so?
Kayraldı.
Send a messenger to Gurcuoglu Zahireddin immediately.
Tell him he is to find that traitor Emir Kamyeri and kill him.
Confiscate his goods and seize his property.
If any of his family object, put them to the sword,
and that includes his female slaves.
As you command, Eminence.
The Sultan and his mother are behind this.
I'll hold them accountable.
Your Eminence.
Well, a Seljuk soldier.
Take this to Aydoğmus immediately.
I came without anyone seeing.
So, you work for Sadettin Köpek.
That message is of vital importance.
Give Aydoğmus and Emir Sadettin my regards.
They also send their regards.
Marya.
You vile woman. You think you have the intelligence to play us as fools?
I'll reveal your little game.
My darling Hafsa.
She just collapsed, right in front of me.
God, you're the only one who can save her and the baby inside her.
May I come in?
Come in, Artuk Bey.
-How is she, Artuk Bey? -Did Hafsa wake up?
Hafsa Hatun is sleeping. Alçiçek Hatun is with her.
She's clearly exhausted herself. She needs complete rest.
I can't say much now, but...
her condition is not good.
God help her.
What would Bamsi do if anything happened to her or the baby?
Mother, I'll stay with her, if you'll allow it.
May I come in?
Is that Bamsi's voice?
It is. Come in, Bamsi.
-Selamunaleykum. -Aleykumselamun, Bamsi.
What are you doing here?
Ertuğrul Bey sent me.
I've brought important guests with me.
-Guests? -Who?
Mother.
My Sultan!
Mahperi Hatun!
We overcame many obstacles, many challenges, much darkness,
so that we might reach this blessed night, Aslıhan.
From now on, we will illuminate the darkness together.
We will overcome any difficulties together, Turgut.
I swear, Aslıhan.
I swear, those who destroyed our happiness and stole our peace...
will never find peace of their own in this world.
This dagger...
that you gave me before I went to war...
I swear...
I'll avenge you with this dagger.
That's the situation.
We'll be guests in your tribe until we have set our state free
from Sadettin Köpek.
What do you mean by "guest"? Our tent, our tribe, are yours, my Sultan.
I hope you'll be as comfortable here as you are in the palace, my Sultan.
My father, Sultan Alaeddin, used to take me
and my late brother, Kılıç Arslan, to the Oghuz tents.
The days we spent hunting, joining their councils, sleeping in Khagan tents,
were the best days of my life.
I don't know of a more comfortable place than right here, Artuk Bey.
Rest easy.
My Sultan,
we suffered the loss of many lives as the princes fought over the throne.
Their greed put us in this situation.
But it is our duty to protect you, even if it costs us our lives.
Ertuğrul Bey has gone after Köpek.
We all stand ready to do whatever you ask of us.
Thank you.
God willing, we'll overcome these troubles together.
God willing.
We, our state, our homeland, are grateful to you.
My Sultan...
if you'll excuse me, I would like to go to my tent to see my wife.
You can go, Chief Alp Bamsi.
My Sultan.
-Bamsi? -What is it, Artuk Bey?
Hafsa Hatun has worsened a bit today.
Hafsa? Worsened? What's wrong, Artuk Bey?
She's pregnant, son.
She's due soon. All this is normal.
Try to stay calm.
Artuk Bey, Mother Hayme. Hafsa is all right, isn't she?
Tell me, my child will live.
Bamsi, calm down. Alçiçek is with her.
Now, go and see your wife. Go.
I'll go and see her right now.
My Sultan.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Hafsa? Can I come in, Hafsa?
Bamsi? Bamsi! Bamsi, come in!
My dear! My dear Hafsa!
Hafsa, light of my life, what happened?
God, help her. Help her.
Alçiçek Hatun.
Thank you. Thank you.
Hafsa, that's better. You're all right, aren't you?
Bamsi!
I'm scared that I might not live to hold our child,
I'm scared I won't be a mother to it.
Don't speak like that, don't speak like that.
God has granted us this child.
Don't be downhearted. The baby will arrive safe and sound.
I'm so glad you're here. I'm so glad you're here, Bamsi. Thank God.
What would I do without you?
What are you saying? Of course I'll always be with you!
Hafsa, I'm going to feed you myself.
I'm going to get you some hot soup.
That'll help you get your strength back.
Our child will be born healthy and happy.
Hafsa, we're going to fill our tent and our tribe with lots of children!
Don't you worry.
God willing. God willing, Bamsi.
May God intend us to see those days.
He will, Hafsa. He will. Hold on to that thought.
Now, you must get some rest. Get some sleep. Come on.
Come on, get some rest.
Relax, comrade.
Relax.
Turgut.
You look so unhappy.
I know... you are thinking of Aslıhan Hatun.
I think about her all the time, my Bey.
The pain cuts my heart like the blade of a dagger.
Until I have avenged Aslıhan,
even breathing is forbidden to me.
I know, my brave man. I know.
It is hard to bear.
Be patient a little while longer.
We will avenge her, I swear that we will.
We must, my bey. We must.
I'd gladly give my life to see that bastard dead.
My bey...
I have a request of you.
Anything, friend. Anything.
If...
I die for this cause...
bury me next to my Aslıhan.
God willing...
none of us will fall as martyrs before we can take that bastard's head.
Rely upon it, Turgut.
God willing, bey.
God willing.
Sayyid of the frontier.
Glorious Sultan.
Sultan of the two seas...
and of the two lands.
Sultan of the Greeks...
of Damascus...
of Armenia...
and of the Franks.
I am Sadettin Köpek. I walked this path adorned with blood and fire.
But every step I took, took me a step closer to my reign.
I clawed my way to the top of the mountain by the force of my will.
My place is not a low one,
it is high above, where the eagles nest.
Now I have risen... and reached my throne.
Sultan of the lands, the seas, the Greeks, of Damascus, Armenia and the Franks,
His Highness Sadettin Köpek.
Ertuğrul.
Ertuğrul!
-May I come in, Your Eminence? -Come.
Your Eminence.
Is there any news?
We discovered where the Sultan is, Eminence.
Where?
He and Mahperi Hatun are with the Kayi tribe.
I knew it!
And Ertuğrul? Where is he?
He's not with his tribe. No one knows where he is.
My men are looking for him.
Also, this letter arrived from Aydoğmus.
All this time, they couldn't find a trace of Ertuğrul either.
Günalp has been far too tolerant of the Kayis' insolence!
Günalp!
What will you do, Your Eminence?
Get a message to Aydoğmus immediately.
Tell him to infiltrate the Kayi tribe...
and kill the Sultan.
Then the entire Kayi tribe must be put to the sword.
And Günalp Bey?
Summon him here, to Sivas.
That way we'll prevent him hindering Aydoğmus.
If you do this, Ertuğrul will be sure to come after you.
I'll be ready when he comes...
and I will finally take his life.
