TEN DAYS LATER
Will they stain our honor with these leathers?
Remake them from scratch.
The Turks shall know that we're the best manufacturers.
Take these away!
Tell them to work.
Someone is coming, Alangoya.
We'll learn who.
Who are you?
Harsünlü Nurahbono.
Noyan sent me.
Speak.
Speak!
Tell me!
Ögedei Khan is dead.
What are you saying, you black dog?
What do you mean he's dead?
Noyan and Ertuğrul came before our Khan.
Ertuğrul made everyone believe that he obeyed our Khan.
He sent his alps forward.
Our Khan was gone for the festivities.
He was dead in the night.
And Ertuğrul?
Ertuğrul and his men ran away from Noyan.
He'll be back at his village soon.
What does Noyan ask?
That you kill Ertuğrul's family before he returns home.
And our secret mission?
Your only secret mission is to kill his family.
Then, you'll go to Gündoğdu Bey's village.
You'll kill Selcan Hatun, Sungurtekin Bey and his family.
Then...
it's time for war.
Our army will crush the Seljuks.
I'll go there in the morning.
If they kill me...
set off at sunrise.
We'll end Ertuğrul's line.
Grandmother...
Yes.
Still no news from Father.
I miss him.
When will he be back?
Patience, my son.
I miss Ertuğrul too.
Only God knows how much I miss him.
May God bring him back quickly and safely.
May he protect him from harm.
Amen.
-Selamunaleykum. -Son!
-Father. -My son.
My little lion. Mashallah.
My brave son.
Did you look after your brothers?
Of course, Father.
I sure did.
I fed them myself.
I'm proud of you.
Mother...
Son...
Welcome.
Welcome, my brave son.
Thank God.
Welcome, my sons.
Thank you, mother.
Oh, my son.
Artuk Bey.
My Bey.
Welcome, my Bey.
Thank you, Artuk Bey.
Thank God.
Indeed.
Chief Alp Bamsi.
-Welcome. -Artuk Bey, thanks.
Welcome.
Thank you, Artuk Bey.
Now that you've returned safely, my prayers have been answered.
What happened? Tell me.
We did the duty the Sultan gave us.
Bless God, the peace is signed.
Thank Goodness.
My Osman.
Welcome.
My Osman.
My little son.
My strong son.
Your eyes are beautiful.
Osman looks strong, Mother.
You looked after him well.
Sugay Hatun.
God bless you.
-Where is Savcı? -Inside. He's sleeping.
Good. Let him sleep.
Come, Mother. We must talk.
Okay, son.
Tell me.
What's the matter?
Where is Almıla?
At the tannery.
Why?
We learned that Almıla's real name is Alangoya.
Alangoya?
Almıla is actually that scum Noyan's sister.
She infiltrated us.
But...
What are you saying?
How could this happen?
We learned it at Ögedei's base.
Don't tell anyone yet.
So, that girl I considered...
a daughter was an enemy?
She infiltrated us.
Indeed, Mother.
We couldn't tell friend from foe for a long time.
Now it's time to see the difference.
First, I'll make the Mongol spy caught by Günalp Bey talk.
Excuse me, Mother.
Thank goodness.
Welcome, my Bey.
Thank you, Oğuz Alp.
Did he talk?
Not yet. We didn't push him until you came back.
Good.
Who is your leader?
Who gives you orders?
Noyan!
Only Noyan.
Besides him.
There's no one else.
And Noyan's sister, Alangoya?
I mean Almıla Hatun...
Her men at the tannery.
They're all Mongol spies.
Don't deny it. I know everything.
Almıla is Noyan's sister, Alangoya.
Her men are Mergen the hunter...
and Samuan Bergütay.
Noyan told us to come here.
Our goal was...
to destroy you from within.
Let me go! I'll do anything!
Forgive.
Forgive me.
In the lands of Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah...
there's no mercy...
for traitors.
Kadan Khan!
Kadan.
Noyan.
While we were still mourning for Genghis Khan,
we sent your dear father Ögedei Khan to the spirits.
I'm sorry.
I feel your pain.
After my father Ögedei,
my mother rules,
as the regent.
We decided this would be best,
to preserve the State,
with my brother Göyük.
May Tengri keep Töregene Hatun strong.
I've become the ruler of Desht-i Kipchak...
in accordance with Genghis Khan's partition.
Strengthening the rule of Europe will also be my duty.
May Tengri help you, my Khan.
About you, Noyan.
Yarımagun acquired a great piece of China.
He subdued them.
And you get Anatolia.
The two-year peace agreement that my father made
with the Seljuks,
has no meaning for me nor for my mother.
Take my army and go quickly!
Hearing this great news that I have waited for so long from you
has made me the happiest man in the world.
The sitting man grows fat.
The moving dog finds a bone.
As your loyal dog,
I'll go to Anatolia to bring you flesh and blood.
Victory...
or victory!
I don't deserve death.
They're back.
Be careful, Mergen.
The rats want to escape.
Easy.
Welcome, Turgut Bey.
Welcome.
-Thank you. -Thanks.
What's the matter?
Are you closing the tannery?
What's all this?
Only reorganizing.
You brought alps.
Is there a problem?
Yes. There is. An important problem.
What?
Nothing to worry about.
We learned about the Mongols infiltrating our lands.
Did you?
Also, their identities...
Who are they?
Guess who!
Tanners.
Bergütay.
Permission to enter, Mother Hayme?
Come in, dear.
Where are Gündüz and Savcı?
They're with Sugay Hatun. Why?
We'll leave tomorrow to sell leather.
I wanted to see you before I go and to see and kiss the kids goodbye.
Good thinking, dear.
Come, sit.
Once Osman is asleep, I'll come.
I had a dream, Mother Hayme.
What did you see?
I saw Ertuğrul Bey safely returning.
I hope that will be true.
We know the Mongols are among us.
They're so close.
We suspect that they're even in our village,
even in our tents.
How can that be?
Günalp Bey caught Noyan's scum.
Günalp Bey sent news, dear.
He learned the truth.
Noyan's spy he brought here was just a pawn.
They fooled us all.
They wanted to take advantage
of us sharing our village, our happiness,
and sadness.
Where is Günalp Bey now?
He took his soldiers to ambush that scum.
Who is the scum, Mother?
Noyan's sister, Alangoya.
You'll all die!
A snake in my tribe!
And now she dies.
Don't try to bite off more than you can chew.
You cleaned our tribe's honor
with Suleyman Shah's sword.
You deserved to kill her.
May you spill Noyan's blood, son.
May God grant you to avenge the ones
whose blood he spilled.
God willing, mother.
God willing.
You came to the wrong place.
We are not prey.
I hunted many men.
Now you'll be my biggest prize!
Brother, are you okay?
I'm fine, brother.
I was just about to take his head...
but these dogs attacked me.
So, he saw this and...
ran away.
Don't worry, brother.
Don't be hard on yourself.
Look, we killed them all.
Where will that dog go?
We'll surely get him.
Brother. Our Bey killed Almıla.
Come. Let's go home.
Let's go, brother.
Let's go. Come on, alps!
Come on!
When we enter Anatolia,
we'll kill the Turks that don't obey us.
The ones who obey will be our slaves.
May Tengri bless your sword, Noyan.
But...
we'll let them kill each other first.
They'll blind themselves.
They'll cut their own tongues.
Crows will feed on their corpses.
Anatolia will be a warzone.
Many spies are among the Turks,
just like my sister Alangoya.
They will always provoke rebellions.
And everything...
will be so messed up that...
young Sultan Gıyaseddin will become the rebel Turks' puppet.
Sultan Gıyaseddin gathers an army of Frankish soldiers to fight us.
Franks will just bring more flame to the fire in Anatolia.
Whatever happens,
I'll trap the Turks at Kösedağ in the end.
I've wandered there for months.
That's where I'll make my coup de grace.
Let all my forces unite and march as soon as possible.
And Nicaea?
We'll crush the Turks from the east.
When Ertuğrul is crushed,
it will be Nicaea's turn.
Son...
I think about Turgut, Mother.
I hope they killed those scum.
Of course, they did.
Don't worry.
Nobody can run away from them.
Indeed.
Did you ever kill an enemy, Grandmother?
I did...
Many times...
My Gündüz...
My mother's hands are talented.
Both at curing our friends...
and killing enemies.
Permission to enter, my Bey?
Here they are.
Come, brothers.
There are my brave men!
Thank goodness.
My brave warriors.
My Bey, God granted us victory over the scum.
We killed them all, my Bey.
I'm so proud of you.
Mashallah.
God bless your hands.
May he keep your swords ever sharp.
-Amen, my Bey. -Thanks, my Bey.
Mashallah.
My grandmother killed Almıla, Turgut Bey.
She killed that snake with her sword.
Well done, Mother.
Let me kiss that hand.
God bless you, Mother.
Son...
My mother has led women for years.
Almıla is nothing for her.
My dear Mother.
Turgut Bey...
Artuk Bey.
Chief Alp Bamsi.
Glory to your hearts and your swords, my sons.
Thanks, mother.
He who follows God has many enemies.
May God grant us the strength, courage and power
to face those enemies.
May we always be victorious.
-Amen, Mother. -Amen.
Amen, Mother.
My Gündüz.
Go, be with your brothers.
As you order, my Bey.
Since we took care of this, now it's time.
Time for what, my Bey?
To migrate, brothers.
Send news.
We migrate to Söğüt.
-Alright, my Bey. -Alright, my Bey.
It's tradition.
We must hold a council before we go.
So, we'll listen to the beys before we go,
and we'll hear about the tribes.
Then, I'll make preparations at the Hanlı Bazaar.
-Thanks, Artuk Bey. -Thank you.
-Permission to enter, my Bey? -Come, Melikşah.
Speak.
My Bey... messengers from Nicaea.
From Nicaea?
Who? The Governor?
No, my Bey. The Emperor's son.
The Emperor's son?
My Bey. Why would the Emperor's son come?
Surely, to make a treaty, Bamsi.
They know they can't fight against the Turks.
Especially when the Mongols are close.
Welcome the Emperor's son before the tent, Turgut.
Then invite him in.
As you order.
Artuk Bey...
Stay with me.
As my Bey commands.
As you order.
Let me help you, Sugay Hatun.
I'm so proud of you, my boy.
The Emperor's son is here to see Ertuğrul.
Why, Mother Hayme?
For peace and for the issue of Söğüt.
Grandmother...
The Emperor's son himself comes here to see my father.
How did my father become so strong?
Sit down.
Sit down. I'll tell you.
Everything started when Suleyman Shah
sent Ertuğrul to Aleppo as a messenger.
What do you want?
I'm the messenger of Suleyman Shah, the Bey of Kayıs.
I'm his son. Ertuğrul.
I'm here to ask for land.
What will you give in return?
In return, 2,000 alps will be with you every time you need them.
Two-thousand alps, huh?
Even my palace has more guards.
Safe travels, son of Bey.
Next.
My Bey.
Next.
My Bey.
Come on!
Your guards are three less.
Whatever your father did, he got lands from the Emir of Aleppo.
But it wasn't easy.
Your father had many troubles.
He had many threats.
He risked many things so that we'd have a land to call home.
We lost many people to have a land.
We faced many troubles.
Ertuğrul risked his life many times so that we'd have a permanent home.
He risked death many times.
What a glorious man my father is.
What great troubles he faced.
Me and my brothers,
we'll be brave beys worthy of our father.
God willing. You will all be so.
Just as I believe in your father,
I believe in you.
Because you will walk in the path that your father made.
You'll help the innocent and fight evil.
Amen, Grandmother.
It's obvious he's the Emperor's son.
Do you think he brings trouble?
He won't, if he likes to live.
He shouldn't, brother.
He shouldn't.
I'm Prince Theodor.
I'm the son and heir of Emperor Yannis.
I'm Turgut Bey, Bey of the Cavdars.
Welcome, Prince Theodor.
I'm here to see Ertuğrul Bey in our Emperor's name.
I wish to present our gifts and offer for peace.
Ertuğrul Bey waits in the tent.
Abdur Rahman, let him know.
Prince Theodor is here.
Let him in.
