THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Mother!
Mother Hayme, tell me.
What's wrong?
Don't worry, dear.
I'm fine.
There's been a problem for a long time.
My heart burns like coal.
Maybe it's because I beat myself up over Gündüz.
Since when has it been like this?
Has this happened before?
This isn't like anything else.
I can't describe the fire inside me.
When my husband...
Suleyman Shah died,
I was like this too.
I'll let Artuk Bey know.
-No need. -Mother, your nose is bleeding.
I'll tell Artuk Bey
before your condition worsens, God forbid.
Don't tell anyone about this.
Ertuğrul has enough problems.
He can't be worrying about me.
I'll talk to Artuk Bey...
but later, when it's appropriate.
Hafsa.
Do you understand?
Don't speak of this to anyone.
There's more here than what you asked for.
Count it, if you must.
We trust you, Ertuğrul Bey.
No need to count.
You show your dirty face again, Ertuğrul Bey!
This is wrong, Commander!
There'll be hell to pay.
Ertuğrul Bey paid the ransom and got his son like he deserved.
We did our duty.
It's not our problem anymore.
The murderer wasn't to be set free!
Soldiers!
Escort İlbilge Hatun out of the castle.
Take him wherever you want.
I'll bring him to justice.
This is not over!
They'll find your son sooner or later.
The Seljuk Emir can reach anywhere he wishes in the Seljuk realm.
He can't, Commander.
I'll be taking my son to Nicaea...
not to Seljuk lands.
To Nicaea?
There are safe places there for Gündüz.
Emir Bahattin holds no sway there.
Now, I wish to get going quickly.
What I want is...
for you to let your men know.
So they won't attack us, thinking we're the enemy.
I'll do what I must, don't worry.
I hope everything goes as you wish and you get there
safe and sound.
I'm glad that the peace will live on.
Peace...
is sometimes preparation for a bigger war, Lais.
Know it well.
If the dogs weren't after Gündüz,
I'd attack this place...
like a wolf...
and free him with my own claws.
And I would take many heads...
along with Gündüz.
But...
everything has it's time.
We'll meet again.
Now...
I'll take my son.
Soldiers.
Here, my men will take you to your son.
Father.
Why won't you raise your head?
I'm too ashamed to look at your face.
Gündüz.
Look at me.
I didn't do anything, Father.
I'm not a murderer.
They lied.
They made me run away, Father.
I only wanted to clear my name.
I only thought about you, believe me.
I didn't want your name stained because of me.
Gündüz.
They took me away...
from my home.
From my grandmother, my brothers...
from you, Father.
They left me no choice.
Now you're saving me.
I didn't want it to happen like this.
Now how can I look at you?
What can I say to you?
Gündüz.
It's all over.
Do I not know your innocence, son?
It's no use mourning the past.
We just look forward.
You know what, Father?
Something scared me so much for the first time.
Dying without your consent.
I feared dying without your blessing, Father.
A person...
must learn from his mistakes...
and be tested with challenges.
So that they can find the right path.
You were tested as well.
You saw the difference between right and wrong.
Your regret is obvious in your eyes...
and your words alike.
A child...
a son...
is a father's replacement.
He's one of his two eyes.
A son is the fire in a hearth.
You're the fire in my hearth.
One of the three poles of my tent.
Come now, come on.
Get up.
You're as glorious as Saint Yorgos of the knights, sir.
When will you take this throne?
Taking it is not important, Lais, it's being able to rule.
I can rule without owning this throne.
I'm be more powerful than the Tekfur even as a poor bell ringer.
Everything is as you wanted, sir.
İlbilge witnessed Ertuğrul saving his son.
We have the gold as well.
And here is the necklace telling them where you are.
Pity.
He managed to put all my years of work
in this tiny necklace?
Ertuğrul, you won't find me so easily.
Lots of blood must be spilled.
Many people must die for that.
I'll take your riches, villages, lands...
every single thing you own
beneath my feet and crush them.
Why Nicaea, Father?
Why are you sending me there?
You'll know once you're there.
Let's get out of this castle first.
Why?
Do you think they are up to something?
Treachery is their way, son.
They might ambush us thinking they've trapped us.
Be cautious.
We'll be ready for anything.
Understood, Father.
-Where are the men, Turgut? -They're ready, my bey.
When we leave, send one alp to the village.
Gündüz Bey.
Mara.
Mara is İrene's best friend, Father.
Come in.
I have a letter from my lady.
Wait, Mara.
Let Gündüz get dressed, then I want you to come back.
Come, Mara, I have something to say to you.
Tell the soldiers, Ertuğrul and his son won't get to Söğüt.
Finish them off before they leave.
Sir, there's something you must know.
Ertuğrul will take his son to Nicaea, not Söğüt.
To Nicaea, huh?
So he knows he can't save his son.
Then we don't need to kill him.
Call İlbilge before she leaves the castle.
What do you think, sir?
Since they're not going to Söğüt, we'll let Emir Bahattin and İlbilge
kill these runaways.
When they unite and kill Ertuğrul and his son
there'll be a war between Kayis and Umurids.
When villages under Ertuğrul are involved...
-Söğüt will be ready for invasion. -Yes.
We'll create an army to invade Söğüt
with the gold we got from Ertuğrul.
Ertuğrul dug his own grave.
Lais...
It shall be a great victory.
I would go to the other side of world...
instead of Nicaea, to not see this woman's face.
Run wherever you can.
You're the prey and I'm the hunter.
And I have fired my arrow.
You have a bad sense of justice.
It hurts you.
Be careful where you aim that arrow.
Do you think you can run away?
In what do you trust?
Who can save you from our justice?
The most just, Allah.
Don't worry.
His justice will prevail for us all.
Come on.
What is it, Commander?
I called you to warn you.
Spit it out.
I don't want to stay in this castle.
I took the ransom and handed Gündüz over, as is my duty.
But if you can't find them in Turkish lands, don't come to me.
What do you mean?
Ertuğrul Bey will take Gündüz to Nicaea,
not to Turkish lands.
-Nicaea? -Yes, I wanted you to know.
He knows we'll get him in Turkish lands.
So he'll hide him in the infidel lands.
The rest is up to you.
He will never take his murderer son to Nicaea.
Ertuğrul is taking Gündüz to Nicaea.
We'll follow them.
Get to the inn quickly.
Report all this to Emir Bahattin.
Tell him we're after them and that we need reinforcements.
As you command.
I'll find you even if you take your son to the other side of the world, Ertuğrul.
You'll meet the justice of my sword soon.
Come on.
Thank God.
Since Gündüz is saved, there is no reason
to worry, Mother Hayme.
The fear inside me isn't gone, dear.
I only want to see them back here again...
safe and sound.
Hayme Hatun.
Tell me what's wrong.
I've been stressed for a long time, Artuk Bey.
It's as if there's a big stone in my heart.
I don't know why,
but my nose bled a little.
No reason to worry.
Welcome, my bey.
Welcome, Bahattin Bey.
My bey, welcome.
-How many traders are there here? -Our bazaar was very crowded.
But recent events disturbed the traders.
Some merchants left the bazaar.
If he can't even manage his traders,
this Ertuğrul is either incompetent
or so rich that he doesn't care.
Your Highness, İlbilge Hatun sends word.
Ertuğrul got his son back from the castle by paying a ransom.
Now he's taking him to Nicaea.
Nicaea?
How?
Why is he taking him to Nicaea instead of trusting
in Seljuk justice?
İlbilge Hatun is after them.
When our Sultan hears about this...
Ertuğrul will not only lose his title but his head as well.
He's a fugitive now.
Send soldiers after them. I want them brought here.
If they resist, kill them. Kill them!
As you command, Your Highness.
Thanks, dear.
Hayme Hatun.
This is very important.
We can't turn a blind eye to it.
I'll talk to İlçin Hatun,
she'll take care of you.
I'll make you a syrup, you will drink that.
Artuk Bey.
It's been a long time since I heard from Gündoğdu, Sungur Tekin...
or Dündar.
I wonder if they are okay.
Don't you worry, Hayme Hatun.
I'll send some men to find out immediately.
Excuse me.
I'll prepare something for them.
The men can take it with them.
Thanks, Hayme Hatun.
Allah.
You give the trouble...
and its solution.
I hope that this...
illness is not tied to my children.
I beg you, please...
don't make me mourn for a child.
So...
we'll take over the administration of Söğüt.
Go everywhere.
We'll manage who gets in and out.
Kayis will be kept away from the bazaar!
Those who cooperate with Ertuğrul Bey will be interrogated by me.
Now... to work!
As you order!
Your Highness, I brought you some cold ayran.
Thanks, bell ringer.
You brought something else, didn't you?
I'm a poor bell ringer.
My knowledge is limited, sir.
You only need to tell me one thing.
Who here...
knows all the secrets and doings...
of Ertuğrul Bey?
Artuk Bey.
He's Ertuğrul Bey's confidant. He knows everything.
He rules while Ertuğrul Bey is away.
Ertuğrul Bey trusts him a lot.
Does he have anything to do with this?
Sir, as a believer in God I don't like to slander.
But apparently, he talks filth about Umurids everywhere.
He threatened them all.
He'll be punished accordingly.
Batur Alp.
Bring Artuk Bey here, quickly.
No. No, he's not here.
He's at the village.
At the village?
Batur Alp... gather the soldiers.
We're attacking the Kayi village.
If you ever talk to anyone about...
our correspondence, by accident,
you know what I'll do, right?
Never, sir.
I would never tell anyone.
Good.
God bless you.
Your Highness, God bless you.
