THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Where is İlbilge Hatun?
We spilled some blood with her.
Don't worry, Ataç.
Beybolat Bey.
Welcome, Bey. You came without notice.
If I had let you know beforehand, you would have been worried.
Surely, you wouldn't be eating and drinking here...
if you knew İlbilge Hatun was fighting, Ataç.
Fighting?
Bey, İlbilge Hatun is--
Take it easy, Ataç.
We have plenty of time.
You will tell me how my father was killed.
Yınal!
Take this away.
Tell them to bring me rare-cooked meat.
The blood disappears when you overcook it.
I like my meat bloody.
I want to meet with Ertuğrul Bey. Is he here?
No, Bey. We don't know where he's gone.
He will come back.
My father died.
My sister, İlbilge, has been leading the tribe.
However, I take the lead from now on.
I am now the bey of Umuroğulları.
Bey, we should wait for the other beys to come.
We need to have a meeting.
Yınal.
You see? Our beys know the traditions very well.
There is no need for a meeting.
Or is there someone else who wants to be the bey?
It is impossible, Bey. Who would dare to?
Good, then.
Good.
Blood.
In honor of my seigniorage.
Ertuğrul wants ten thousand gold coins from Lais.
If he doesn't get it, he will block the roads to the castle,
and he won't let Lefken merchants go to Söğüt.
To siege a castle...
and leave the people inside without food and water is atrocious.
It destroys the people and forces them to surrender.
Ertuğrul is a great commander.
He knows how to threaten his enemy.
Lais wants to meet and discuss the matter at a safe place.
He awaits a reply from Ertuğrul.
Good idea.
Tell him to prepare well and take precautions.
Ertuğrul's intention isn't to take the gold,
but to learn who I am.
What will we do, sir?
Nothing.
Ertuğrul will take his precautions, too.
You shouldn't show yourselves. Stay here.
What about Lais?
Lais... He knows what to do.
He would never give our secret away.
Never.
Tell our alps to be on guard.
I might finish Ertuğrul off when he comes.
We will start working at full speed from this day on.
We have a lot of work to do in Söğüt.
And about Ertuğrul Bey and the Kayı Tribe--
Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey.
-Thank you. -Welcome, Bey.
Thank you.
Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you.
I am Beybolat. The bey of Umuroğulları.
Are you having a meeting?
I was discussing a few matters with my beys.
We were talking about what happened to my alps, my father's death...
and who is responsible for it.
We investigated the matter, and had a trial.
I will find the culprit and punish him myself.
Or do you want to bring somebody else to account?
I am not only here to collect taxes,
but also to bring them to account.
Whoever is responsible for this.
And I swear that I will punish them myself.
However, first of all, we should help our margrave.
We are at his disposal, after all. Right?
I became the new bey of Umuroğulları.
My beys obey me.
Now, in the presence of my beys...
I am obeying my margrave.
With God's help, we always protect the ones
who respect the tradition and obey us.
There's no doubt about that, Ertuğrul Bey.
Where are you coming from, İlbilge Hatun?
From your tribe, Ertuğrul Bey.
What happened?
When my sister and her alps went to the tribe, they were ambushed.
Ambushed?
They were Dragos' men. They disguised themselves as bandits.
Also, there were some rum merchants among them.
The bell ringer became suspicious of them and warned Gündüz and Süleyman.
And they came with their alps.
And when my brother and his alps were on their way to Söğüt,
he saw the fight and came to the rescue.
We slaughtered all of them.
Where are Gündüz and Süleyman now?
They are with the tribe. Gündüz is fine.
But Süleyman is wounded.
Bamsı.
Go to the tribe.
Of course.
We heard what you did, bell ringer.
You have a sharp mind.
You will be rewarded.
You gave me a home, and some food to eat.
I can't ask for more.
Thank you.
I gained his trust.
Now is the right time to enter the tribe.
But it is not enough.
I will get into your tent, Ertuğrul.
May I come in, İrene?
İrene?
There's nobody here.
Where did she go?
A letter.
Gündüz, I really wanted to stay with you,
but I couldn't do it.
I realized we couldn't find my father's killers by sitting here.
I will go to Constantinople to talk with the Emperor.
I will try to convince him to find Dragos.
Forgive me, Gündüz.
Who knows, maybe one day we'll meet again.
Oh, İrene!
Why did you do this?
Why couldn't you wait?
What is it, brother?
İrene...
She went to the Emperor to discuss Dragos.
To convince him.
She didn't want me to stop her.
I talked with Artuk Bey.
Our brave man will get better within a few days.
God willing, Bey.
He dived into the battle with Gündüz.
And Süleyman stepped forward to protect İlbilge Hatun.
God bless him.
How could they know there would be an ambush?
The bell ringer at the Söğüt Bazaar, he became suspicious and informed them.
I need to go, sister.
Ertuğrul Bey.
Do you have any news from Gündoğdu Bey and his brothers?
I've made contact with them.
I will hear from them soon, God willing.
Don't worry about this, Selcan Hatun.
You should think about your tribe and Süleyman.
I will take care of it.
We only trust you, Bey.
If you can't help us, nobody can.
Thank you.
Brother.
Seeing you keeping your head high makes me happy, İlbilge.
Even though my father's gone, we all will keep our heads high.
That would suit you, sister.
I will find my father's killer sooner or later.
Death would be a salvation for him.
When I find him...
he will beg to die.
But he won't die easily.
Ertuğrul Bey will do anything to find Dragos.
He will fall into our hands.
Now you're here, thank God.
Tell me, do you trust Ertuğrul Bey this much?
He did many things to gain my trust.
Remember, my father and my alps were killed on his lands,
at his inn.
He might not be the killer, but he is responsible for this.
You are talking about the margrave whose hand you just kissed.
They were going to kill me and our beys today.
What would have happened if it weren't for his son and his nephew?
We will show Ertuğrul Bey the respect he deserves, of course.
He is our margrave after all, right?
So?
Söğüt is out of joint now, can't you see?
Since we live here now,
shouldn't we do everything we can to restore the order?
We have a brave, trustworthy margrave in Ertuğrul Bey.
So Ertuğrul Bey has impressed you like he did with his people and his alps.
What are you saying, Brother?
We have a lot to talk about.
But first, I want to visit my father's grave tomorrow.
As you wish.
His nephew, Süleyman...
Watch out for him, and his mother.
I heard that Selcan Hatun's husband, Gündoğdu, is against the Mongols,
and he is not sitting still on his new lands.
This isn't good for any of us.
Why does Lais want to meet at the border? It confuses me, Bey.
He knows that we won't go to the castle, Turgut.
And he doesn't want to come here.
He wants to meet at the border for his safety.
What are we going to do?
We will accept their invitation, Bamsı.
That bastard won't stop.
Lais wouldn't dare to do this alone, Turgut.
That bastard is just Dragos' tool in the castle.
What are we going to do, Bey?
We are a volcano, Bamsı.
We melt every tool.
So, Lais wants to see some real men?
Then, we will show him some.
Tell the alps.
Get ready.
-Yes, Bey. -Yes, Bey.
Enjoy your meal, Bey.
Well done. You are a good servant.
Have a seat.
Yınal!
You are my Lead Alp.
My best man.
If somebody kills me...
and you couldn't stop him...
what would you do?
I would kill myself, too, Bey.
Why?
Because us guards, we live for our beys.
We'd give our lives for them.
And if they are dead...
it means we have no reason to live.
What about you, Ataç?
You were my father's best man.
He was the great Umur Bey.
It was your duty to protect him.
So, where is he now?
He is dead, Bey.
Then, why are you still alive, Ataç?
The meat has no blood.
I hate this.
Sit down!
You can't cook meat.
You can't protect my father.
You can't do anything.
So why are you still alive, Ataç?
Bey...
It's none of your business, move away.
Bell ringer!
Yes, Bey.
I want meat. And I want it bloody.
Bring it to my room.
Yes, Bey.
I pulled the string tight.
We should strengthen it, so it won't let us down in another battle.
Savcı, help me with it.
I wish I had fought with you.
I would have helped you.
You were not destined to fight this time, Osman.
You should protect the tribe while my father is gone.
Osman, give me the lamb fat.
I'll do it, Brother.
We've seen what happens to us when we didn't listen to our father.
We won't act recklessly even though he is not here.
You will listen to me while he is gone, okay?
Yes, Brother.
Understood.
It is better now.
That's because you did it together, Gündüz.
-Grandmother. -My dear son.
How is Süleyman, Grandmother? Is he okay?
He is fine, son.
He'll get better, God willing.
God willing.
What you just did here should teach you a lesson,
a great lesson.
One of your belongings has broken...
but you came together...
and fixed it as one man.
That's the biggest advantage to having brothers.
Together you stand...
divided you fall.
And now, Süleyman is here.
We had three pillars in our tent...
now we have four.
From now on, our tribe will be even stronger, God willing.
God willing.
When he gets better...
we'll go hunting together.
Come in!
Emir Bahattin sent his regards to you.
Thank God for him. Thank you.
How is he? Is he okay?
Stop blubbering.
From now on, you'll be my spy here.
You'll inform me, as you do with Emir Bahattin.
No! I can't, Bey. I can't do this.
Bey, I am just a poor bell ringer.
I am a poor man, I can't do it, Bey.
Look at me when I'm talking to you, bell ringer...
or I'll cut your throat.
I don't like repeating myself.
I say it once, and you'll do it at once.
You'll work for me.
You'll tell me everything you see and hear.
And nobody will know about this.
What if I refuse?
You'll die.
Who will bring me to account, huh?
Ertuğrul Bey.
What would Ertuğrul Bey do if he knew you were Emir Bahattin's spy?
Do you think he will blame a bey like me...
for killing a dirty spy like you, bell ringer?
Okay, Bey.
Okay, I will do it.
But don't tell anybody about this.
How can I not do it, if you were to give this poor bell ringer
something in return?
What reward do you want?
I am a poor, miserable man.
Emir Bahattin was appeasing by giving me gold coins.
So you want gold coins?
Well, I won't give you any gold.
Look at this sharp steel.
Take a good look.
If you do as I say, I won't give you any gold.
But if you don't...
I'll cut your throat...
with this steel.
The only reward I will give you is your miserable life.
And nobody could bring me to account.
Okay, Bey. Okay.
I will do it.
Good.
Go now.
And start bringing me news fast.
Out.
Selcan Hatun, this is Mikis the merchant.
Ertuğrul Bey sent him.
Speak, merchant.
I am in charge of the Bazaar.
I know every single merchant at the Bazaar.
Ertuğrul Bey sent me to fulfill your needs.
Who's this?
The church bell ringer.
He works for the inn, he deals with everything.
He's my most trusted man.
So, you're the one who sent Gündüz and Süleyman after İlbilge Hatun.
Yes, my Lady.
Traitors were going to ambush them.
When I saw them with swords, I let Gündüz Bey know.
So you have an eagle eye.
I do.
That's why they trust you so much.
You'll work for us.
Yes, my Lady.
Aktemur Usta, prepare the tent pegs.
We'll start setting up them.
Hafsa Hatun, you check the tent covers.
Go with them and ask if the women need anything.
