THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Is everything here, Mikis?
Don't worry, Artuk Bey.
Every income and outgoing is written in these pages,
including the merchants' purchases. Nothing is missing.
Very well.
Good day.
Thank you. Welcome.
İlbilge Hatun, here are the records from the Kayı Tribe's treasury.
Everything is included here
in detail, including the packs, warehouses and everything.
And the records for the bazaar are here. Nothing is missing.
What about Ertuğrul Bey's personal properties?
All he has is the sword, which is a relic from his family,
and his horse.
That's all that he has? The mighty Ertuğrul Bey?
That's right. And he has three sons.
Ertuğrul Bey doesn't collect goods, or hoard gold.
He doesn't go after material things.
His only wealth is his reputation.
Do you expect us to believe that?
That is the truth, Ataç Bey.
This is not some conspiracy.
Ertuğrul Bey's generosity and reputation is one thing,
the tax issue is another.
We'll talk to him when he gets here.
We'll do the counting for tax purposes tomorrow. Ataç Bey...
will be on his way early in the morning with tax officials and alps.
And I'll check the records myself.
Hopefully we won't run into any trouble this time.
İlbilge Hatun.
It's best you don't do the counting before Ertuğrul Bey is here.
Why is that?
Because it'll send the wrong message, as if you were ignoring Ertuğrul Bey.
It may cause a problem that will be difficult to resolve.
The state's duty cannot wait.
We'll do whatever is necessary.
And you should know that we'll do it without hesitation.
I can bring you that necklace.
Would you really do that for me?
Sure.
But what if my dad gets angry at me because I told you about it?
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that I'm looking for the necklace.
Don't go hunting all by yourself. It can be dangerous.
That's an order.
What are you doing there, Osman?
I'm getting ready to go hunting.
What do you mean "hunting"?
I saw a big pheasant, Brother. I'll go and get it.
No way, Osman!
Dad has forbidden us from hunting by ourselves.
We can't disobey him, Brother.
Rise.
Lais, what's going on?
The governor is waiting for Teokles. He sent his men to find him.
He must not find out that Teokles is in Kayı tribe.
Otherwise, he'll ask Ertuğrul to give him Teokles.
If Teokles reveals what he knows to the governor, everything will be over.
That is not going to happen.
Teokles will be dead by tomorrow from the poison.
They'll think it's because of the injuries he got during the clash.
What about his daughters?
What if they know something?
They'll probably leave the tribe after their father dies.
-We'll kill them on the road. -The tribe is being watched.
Don't worry, Commander Dragos. As soon as they leave the tribe,
we'll kill them both.
Nice. Now listen to me carefully.
Ataç Bey and other tax officials will be on their way
to other tribes tomorrow.
But they'll never reach their destination.
-Do you... -Yes, Karabela.
The war is beginning.
The men were complaining about having nothing to do.
What is on your mind, Commander Dragos?
We all know about Gündüz Alp's anger.
We will put the blame for this attack on Ertuğrul's furious son.
This will bring about a confrontation between Ertuğrul and his state.
The only way we can destroy the order Ertuğrul has created
is by pitting him against his state.
Can we make them believe that Kayı are behind the attack?
Ertuğrul is not wanted by the forces within the state.
They turn a blind eye to him because they are afraid of him.
But once Umur Bey's alps who are in duty for the state get killed,
the state officials will want to believe it.
Moreover, Umur Bey's tribe and his daughter will believe it.
A couple of days later,
if Umur Bey falls victim to a suspicious murder...
just imagine what will happen.
Fight until death!
Long live Commander Dragos!
We'll take the chests to Hülagü Khan.
As you order, Commander Börçigin.
-Are the horses ready, Udur? -Yes, Commander Börçigin.
What's going on?
What the hell is this?
Ambush!
You fools, you were followed.
You take the chest to Hülagü Khan, quickly.
This way, Commander Börçigin.
Come on!
Who are you?
How dare you attack us, huh?
Ertuğrul!
You, huh?
You'll pay for everything you did.
Did you think I'd let you get away with it?
I should've killed you in the palace.
But I'll make you and your people suffer for what you did.
If you do something to me, all your people, your tribe
will pay a far greater price than the beys I killed in front of you.
The sword of my vengeance is powerful enough for all of you.
All your people will see...
what happens to those who try to enslave Turks.
Thank Allah we have the chest, my bey.
The key is missing.
They were too exposed.
They murdered all of our soldiers.
That means they have the chest. What are we going to do now?
It's all right.
I have the key for the chest.
The chest is useless without this key.
They'll come after us in order to get this.
Then, we'll find out who they are and set a trap for them.
Now, let's go to Vizier Bahaddin at once.
My bey, isn't there any other way to unlock this chest?
Those two spies have the key.
The documents in this chest are so important, Bamsı.
If we try to unlock it without the key, the documents might be destroyed.
We can't afford to lose even a single letter.
Turgut, Mergen.
Go after those two spies.
They'll probably go to Vizier Bahaddin to find out
who took the chest from them.
We should get to the tribe before this tax issue gets out of hand.
Turgut, don't come back until you find that key.
With Allah's help we'll stop at nothing to get that key.
The key is not the only important thing, Mergen.
If we find out who is supporting those bastards,
victory will be ours.
What's on your mind, my bey?
Listen to me very carefully now.
Osman?
Oh, Osman. You went to hunt anyway, didn't you?
You told me Father was going to recover.
He was in good shape.
We don't yet know what will happen.
-Did he take his medicine regularly? -Yes, he did.
He's going to be okay, right?
I'll do whatever I can.
Just try and calm down.
You look ravishing, my hatun.
Wait for me here, okay?
Let me know if someone comes.
Gündüz.
Irene.
I wasn't able to tell you...
When you told me about your affections I knew I felt exactly the same.
So I haven't been waiting in vain this whole time?
My beautiful Irene.
Irene.
What is it? What happened?
I keep asking myself...
What if these feelings we have are just like the sicknesses of a child?
Like a fever, like a swollen throat?
What if someday we recover, Gündüz?
If...
this is some childish sickness just like you said...
then I never want to grow up, Irene.
Even if I were burning with fever,
and dripping with sweat,
I would only think of you until the end of my life.
Irene!
My father's soldiers are coming. They'll take me to the castle.
They're approaching.
Come on.
Got you, finally.
Osman! Brother!
Brother!
Osman.
Brother, why are you acting like this?
Let's go back to the tribe.
I saw that big pheasant, Brother. And I have my bow and arrows.
-Come on, join me. -Osman!
Dad told you not to do this.
Why are you acting like this now?
I want to be a brave alp, Brother.
How can I be if I don't go hunting?
I'll return with that big pheasant and prove myself to them.
Osman, Brother. I came here without letting anyone know.
Grandmother will be worried when she gets up and doesn't see us.
I am going to get that pheasant, Brother.
Osman! Stop!
Come on, Brother.
Oh, Osman.
Alps, protect yourselves!
Attack!
Uncover your face and fight like a man.
-What do you want? -Your life!
We told you not to leave the tribe, but you didn't listen.
Umuroğulları, Mongols' lap dogs, have no place on these lands!
I understand whose dogs you are now.
What is this?
Brother, let's go back to the tribe.
-Obviously there's a fight. -The sound is coming from this direction.
Osman, where are you going? You'll get us in trouble.
If it's our alps who are fighting then we need to help.
Come on.
These are İlbilge Hatun's alps.
They've been ambushed by bandits. We should help.
Stop, Brother, we can't help them.
Nice.
Now, it's time to watch the chaos in the bazaar.
Lais, you go back to the castle.
Osman, let's go back to the tribe before we get in trouble.
Someone's there! Don't let them get away. Quickly!
Osman!
Run, Brother!
Come on, Osman!
Are you okay?
What happened? Where are the children?
They went this way.
You fools!
Mother Hayme, may I come in?
Come in, my girl.
Has something bad happened?
My girl, I can't find Osman or Savcı anywhere.
They didn't say anything to me.
Aslıhan, Aybars.
Did they tell you anything?
Did you see them?
No, Grandmother. We didn't.
I didn't see them either, they didn't tell me anything.
Good God!
Where would they go?
Mother, let me tell the alps. They will search around.
-Come on, take a seat. -That's all right, my girl.
Go ahead and let the alps know.
Okay.
The door.
I've got you now. You are coming with me.
Let my big brother go!
-Let him go! -Drop the bow.
Or your brother dies.
Drop the bow, kid.
Quickly! I won't repeat again.
It's time. Let's move before they leave.
We'll get the key.
But the important thing is...
to infiltrate them and gather information.
We will find out what they are up to
and who their accomplices here are.
Alps, are you ready?
Yes.
Remember, you are not here to kill them.
Don't harm them...
and don't let them harm you.
We'll take care of the rest.
Come on.
Let's buy some medicinal herbs from the herbalist, Mengü.
Good idea, my hatun.
Who is this?
Ataç Bey.
Ataç Bey!
Ataç Bey! Ataç Bey!
What happened? Who did this? Where are the alps?
We were attacked, İlbilge Hatun.
The attackers were covering their faces.
"Umuroğulları, Mongols' lap dogs, have no place on these lands!"
"We told you not to go to another tribe," they said.
I won't let you collect any tax. Not from this tribe,
nor from any other. Not until Ertuğrul Bey is here.
And I'll make you pay for your lies when the time is right.
What happened here?
He was attacked.
He is losing too much blood.
We need to get him inside and remove the arrow.
Hang in there, Ataç Bey.
In the name of Allah...
Hang in there.
What's up? What happened, Artuk Bey?
This arrow is used by Turks.
Drop that bow, kid!
I won't tell you again.
Brother, are you all right?
I am fine, Brother. Let's go before the others arrive.
Gündüz Alp!
What have you done?
-You did this. -What are you saying, Hatun?
What happened here?
How can you ask that?
You attacked my alps and killed them.
Know your place, Hatun! Why would I kill your alps?
What attack are you talking about?
When we first came to the tribe,
you said you wouldn't let us go and collect taxes from other tribes.
You threatened us.
One of the attackers said, "Umuroğulları, Mongols' lap dogs
have no place on these lands!"
And this is a Turkish arrow!
Now tell me, where have you come from?
That's none of your business.
Who are you to ask me such questions?
Your horse is so tired.
He is about to crack.
Either you tell me where you have come from...
or I won't be held responsible for what is about to happen.
Neither me,
nor the Kayı, has anything to do with this attack, Hatun.
Gündüz, İlbilge Hatun, calm down!
Just get out of my way so I can have a look.
Apparently, someone is trying to frame me.
You are the only one who is scheming.
You didn't let us go to other tribes.
I will cut you here and nobody can prevent it!
Now, be a man and admit the dirty trick you pulled.
Enough already!
Dad!
My bey!
