THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
The key!
Yinal, gather the carcasses of these dogs.
Beybolat?
İlbilge...
Are you all right?
I am. Thank God, I'm fine.
We have to hurry.
Turgut Bey.
These dogs told me that Ertuğrul Bey had killed you, Beybolat.
In order to reveal the traitors among us...
to save the life of İlbilge Hatun...
and to put an end to the traps of the heathens...
I will pretend to have killed you.
To make up for your mistake...
and to save İlbilge Hatun's life,
you must agree to this.
You don't have a choice.
If my sister's life depends on this...
all right, I will.
Now...
we have to make everyone believe that you are dead.
It's only death, Ertuğrul Bey.
Ertuğrul Bey did what he had to do to save you, İlbilge.
May God bless you and Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you, İlbilge Hatun.
You risked your life for me.
We should leave this accursed place at once, İlbilge.
You will wear these.
I will incorporate all the Turkmen tribes that have run away
from the Mongolian cruelty in Aleppo and the Taurus Mountains.
It means tens of tribes, and thousands of alps.
And I will form an army of brave young men
and the men that survived the crusades in the Byzantine, is that so?
With the Mongol's taxes, no less.
Those taxes will make us stronger, Dragos.
The loot of our ever-growing lands will give us a new state.
There is one more thing I am curious about, Ertuğrul.
İlbilge.
Why is she so important to you?
Emir Bahattin's has a soft spot for İlbilge.
Are you saying...
She was being taken to Konya to marry him.
And that's why you want to use İlbilge.
What about Ertuğrul Bey?
How is he going to leave the castle?
What will they do to him when they realize that I escaped?
If you go into a snake's nest...
you have to have a weapon more poisonous than the snake, İlbilge Hatun.
Ertuğrul Bey's poison against his enemy...
is his wit and his weapons.
He will defeat those bastards with God's help.
I hope so.
Let's go to the inn now. The necessary precautions have been taken.
Ertuğrul Bey will come back to us safe and sound with God's help.
Come on, alps! Get on your horses!
You talk a good game,
but you've played many tricks on us before.
How can we trust that you are not lying to us?
What about your tricks?
Now, tell me...
didn't you tell the Umuroğulları...
that I had killed Beybolat Bey to get us fighting with them?
How can I trust you?
If we keep doing this...
we'll continue infighting until the states we rebel against...
come here to destroy us.
Sir! İlbilge is not in her room.
What do you mean?
She escaped her room, sir.
Ertuğrul.
You did this.
Guards!
You came here to make an agreement.
But you broke it from the start.
You will pay for this.
We were going to make an agreement with you,
but you killed my soldiers and helped İlbilge to escape.
You broke the agreement, Ertuğrul.
I have brought you the gold of my own accord,
but you attempted to keep İlbilge.
Nobody...
can keep something that I haven't personally given.
Then, why did you bring the gold?
To make an agreement.
But İlbilge Hatun...
will not be a pawn in this bargaining.
-Do you understand me? -What agreement?
What is left to agree on?
You haven't heard my main offer yet, Dragos.
You can kill me now if you want.
I don't have the slightest fear.
But if you kill me, you won't get to hear my offer.
Besides, all the Turkic tribes know that I am here...
and Emir Bahattin...
and even Beybolat Bey...
will burn this castle to the ground with you in it.
Beybolat?
Isn't he dead?
The tunnel that your mole dug has led you to the wrong spot.
Not only is he not dead, I also had him rescue İlbilge Hatun.
Now, just as you came to my inn
and said that İlbilge Hatun would die if we harmed you...
if anything happens to me...
you'll be buried in the ruins of this castle.
You will either take this chance...
or tell your soldiers to leave.
We can talk about my offer...
and we can both win.
Guards!
Take his sword and leave.
Wait!
You must have heard me wrong!
No one can take anything from me if I don't give it to them myself!
Get out.
I am listening, Ertuğrul.
The taxes that were going to the Mongols will be gathered up in Anatolia.
I want to take possession of those taxes.
This is a massive job.
The returns will be just as great as the risks.
Emir Bahattin is responsible for the taxes.
If we take those taxes, we'll be greatly rewarded,
and the Mongols will kill Emir Bahattin.
Why don't you do it alone?
They know me and my alps.
But if I tell you where the taxes will be gathered...
and you take the gold from there...
then we can split it, half each.
Both sides will have done what they need to.
Both sides can win.
Guards!
Ertuğrul will be our guest,
and I will think about it before making my decision.
Think carefully.
I am talking about all the gold collected in Anatolia.
Think carefully, Dragos.
We can both...
build massive armies with that gold.
Think carefully. Think carefully, Dragos.
Think carefully.
Bey, what did you do in there? Where are you going?
Don't worry about me, Abdurrahman.
Send word to Söğüt with the alps downstairs.
Tell them to take the bird from its nest.
As you wish, Bey.
Ertuğrul made an offer that you can't refuse.
I sent him away so I could talk to you first.
You did the right thing.
But never again...
let him crush you like that.
My men...
can't look so sheepish before my enemies. Stand tall!
That Beybolat...
Mikis told us.
He said he saw Beybolat dead with his own eyes.
It looks like Ertuğrul has found our mole.
Tell Tara to kill him.
All right, sir.
We still have the chance to kill Ertuğrul.
Even though he took İlbilge...
he still gave us the gold and everything else.
The gold and the equipment don't matter.
Didn't you hear his offer?
He talked about all the gold collected in Anatolia.
Besides...
if anything happens to him, the Turks will attack the castle.
We can't lose time by trying to keep the castle when our aim is Söğüt.
Beside the war...
the most important thing is this offer.
But can we trust Ertuğrul, sir?
That's what worries me.
What if he is playing another trick on us?
Then, we will have let him get away when we had him in our grasp...
and, more importantly, we will be putting ourselves at risk.
Ertuğrul put us in a challenging situation.
We will gamble.
He made a big offer.
But perhaps it wouldn't be worth it if we have the chance to kill Ertuğrul.
What is your decision, sir?
You told me that my brother is alive, and my sister would be saved.
Yet no one has come yet.
Sırma Hatun, you can rest assured,
with God's help, they will come. They'll be here safe and sound.
Sırma Hatun.
I hope you are not setting a trap for me.
Or else...
Didn't I tell you that they would come?
Beybolat!
İlbilge!
Sırma.
What is the situation in the camp, brother? How is Oğuz?
The camp is well, Brother. And Oğuz will be better in a few days.
Good.
I believed you were dead for a moment. I thought I'd lose my mind.
It was all a trick, Sırma. As you see, I stand before you, safe and sound.
How did this happen? How did you get out of that castle?
Thanks to the flawless trick that Ertuğrul Bey played,
we got out of the castle easily.
Ertuğrul Bey's wit is as sharp as his sword.
What's more, he is brave enough to sacrifice himself to save us.
Is Ertuğrul Bey still in the castle?
Turgut Bey.
Beybolat.
How is Ertuğrul Bey going to get out of that castle?
My bey took every precaution necessary, just in case.
He ordered us to go back to Söğüt and to be on our guard.
Don't worry. Just as he went into that castle...
he'll leave there just as safely.
Now, I'll ruin you, Mikis.
Brother.
Alps, come with me!
Think carefully, Dragos.
Think carefully.
Did you consider my offer?
I did.
I accept your offer.
We'll take all that gold and split it, half each.
I hope our partnership lasts for many years.
Once we get this over with...
the rest will surely happen if it's fated to succeed.
Then we have a deal.
I'll wait for you to tell me where the gold will be gathered.
If it turns out that you're playing a trick...
we'll start a war from which there is no turning back.
If we are collaborating, let me give you some advice.
Don't even think about entering into a war that you would never win...
or you'll have regrets that you can't claw back from.
Now, sit still in your castle and wait for my word.
Let my guards accompany you to the gates of the castle.
No need.
I know all the entrances and exits of this castle better than you do.
Here you are, dear.
Bamsı Alp?
What are you doing here?
How did you get into my house?
Just as you...
infiltrated yourself into our tribe...
that's how I got in here, Mikis.
-Right? -I don't know what you mean.
Where are you going, Mikis?
Wait a minute.
What do you want from me? I didn't do anything.
Ertuğrul Bey will tell you everything when he gets back.
And you'll have things to tell him, too.
Alps. Take him away!
Damn it.
What is going on here?
Mikis got caught.
I have to go and tell Commander Dragos.
Thank God, we got over this.
From now on, the only thing our tribe should care about
is the marriage of Emir Bahattin and İlbilge.
Beybolat.
Come İlbilge, sit down.
Listen, İlbilge.
The future of our tribe depends on what you say.
Don't get me started again, Beybolat.
Look, İlbilge. You should listen to your brother.
Emir Bahattin is one of the most respected men in the Seljuk palace.
He has wealth and power.
I don't care about that.
He can have his palace and his power.
My stubborn sister.
I know girls ted to be capricious...
but you should know that Emir Bahattin...
is loved and respected by both the Seljukian and Mongolian chiefs.
İlbilge.
If you say yes to this, it will mean a powerful Umuroğlu tribe.
-That's what our brother means. -I don't want it.
There is no use in insisting. I have made up my mind.
I will not marry Emir Bahattin.
Don't you ever listen to reason?
If now willingly do it, then you will by force.
If I can't hand you over alive, I'll hand your dead body to Emir Bahattin.
But I will not let anyone say, "Beybolat Bey broke his promise!"
So you want them to say,
"Beybolat gave his sister to Emir Bahattin for his own benefit."
-İlbilge! -Beybolat.
İlbilge, calm down.
You'll either say yes to this...
or you'll never see the Umuroğlu tribe again.
Not even in your dreams, İlbilge.
Pull yourself together and think carefully.
Keep in mind that I can exile you to Alaiye, where our aunt is.
Sit down.
You've been with us for years, Mikis.
Didn't you have everything?
What evil did we do to you to deserve this treason?
Nothing, Bey.
You never did me wrong.
I had to do this. Forgive me.
How can we forgive you?
How can we forgive you, Mikis?
Treason is always punished around here. Don't you know that?
They prayed upon my weaknesses, Bey.
They have my wife and child. They forced me to do it.
I would never betray you otherwise.
If they have your family...
why didn't you come and tell us?
Why did you lie when Ertuğrul Bey asked you about your family?
I was afraid, Bey. I was afraid.
They told me that they would kill my wife if I were to tell you anything.
If you want to save your family...
then you have to tell me right away...
who you worked with, so we can save your family...
and get that bastard, Dragos.
I never saw a man named Dragos.
They always talked about him.
It's obvious that they all respect and fear him.
Who were you in contact with?
Think carefully.
Theo, Niko and Tara.
After Niko and Theo died, he contacted me through Tara.
If...
there are other people and you don't tell me about them...
you should know that I'll make you regret it.
I swear I'm telling the truth.
Ertuğrul Bey relieved you of your post in the bazaar.
You'll stay in the dungeon until your family is found.
Then you'll get the hell out of Söğüt.
Dumrul!
Throw Mikis in the dungeon.
Go with Günkut to catch Tara and bring him to us.
Why is Bey still not here? Why isn't he here?
-The alps are ready, aren't they? -They are, Head Alp.
I can't sit still.
Brother. Brother. I am so nervous. If Bey doesn't get here soon,
let's go and enter the heathen's castle like arrows.
-Abdurrahman. -Where's Bey? Is he staying in the castle?
If I stay in the castle someday, Bamsı, then that means we've conquered it.
Bless you!
Welcome back, Bey.
-Thank you. -Thank God!
-What did you do, Bey? -Bey, did you
hang that bastard's head on the pillion of your horse and bring it here?
I will do that someday, Bamsı.
-We'll talk about everything. -All right, Bey.
Where is Mikis?
We detained Mikis and made him talk.
They were contacting him through Tara.
I sent the alps to capture him.
You did well.
Where is İlbilge Hatun? Is she well?
-Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey. -Thank you.
We thought my brother was dead.
It turns out it was all to save my sister. Thank you.
Of course.
How are you, İlbilge Hatun?
Thank God.
I am well thanks to you, Ertuğrul Bey.
May God bless you.
If you hadn't come back from the heathens' castle...
then the fact I got away wouldn't mean anything.
I'm glad you are back safe and sound.
No one will stand in your way again.
No stone will hit your wheels.
My weapon will assure that.
If the road is fated to lead to good...
no stone will do any harm.
But if that road leads to darkness, I'd rather not be on it.
May God put us only on roads to good. Thank you.
Amen.
All right. Go back to the camp.
I will stay here to speak more with Ertuğrul Bey.
We appreciate your help, Ertuğrul Bey.
I will never forget your bravery.
This incident...
will lead to both of our tribes becoming stronger.
I would like to talk to you alone.
All right.
Did you twine these well, dear? I can't thread them.
If we can't thread them...
we can't knit socks or sweaters.
Selcan?
Selcan, I'm talking to you, dear.
Why are you so pensive?
I'm sorry, Mother. I didn't hear you.
Why are you so absent-minded, dear?
Thank God, your tribe is here. Süleyman is with you.
You have maintained order, too.
You're right, Mother.
But I left a part of me there.
I still haven't heard a word from Gündoğdu.
Dear, you have to be strong.
You have to stand tall...
so that those around you can stay calm.
I do stand tall.
I cry inside, I don't show it.
But I feel like my heart is going to burst, Mother.
We, the women and children, came here...
but Gündoğdu Bey is still on the mountains with his brothers in this cold weather.
They have spies in front of them and enemies behind them. Who knows how he is?
My Gündoğdu is not alone.
He has his brothers with him. His son is there, too.
Besides, every night leads to morning...
and every winter leads to spring.
Don't doubt God.
Don't fall into despair. You know Ertuğrul Bey promised you.
He did. May God bless him.
But Ertuğrul Bey has a lot to do, Mother.
There are many troubles here.
Don't you worry, dear.
Ertuğrul Bey left that castle alive.
Once he gets over these troubles...
the first thing he'll do should be going to his brothers.
God willing.
