THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Tell me, Beybolat Bey.
You told them that you had İlbilge rescued.
But you were still able to leave unharmed.
It's a great success.
How did you do it?
I made an agreement.
The agreement I made will benefit them now.
But it will benefit me later.
What kind of agreement is that?
We'd like to help you if you need us.
It only concerns me.
You will know about it if need be.
What about the gold?
I'd give up all the wealth of the world for my sister, but...
they expect the taxes from me, Ertuğrul Bey.
Don't worry.
We will take back from them all the gold and more.
What is the actual thing you wanted to talk about?
Oh, that.
To strengthen the brotherhood of the two tribes,
I'd like to make it complete and seal it with a favorable deed.
I will organize a feast in our camp tomorrow night.
I would like to see you and your family there.
We can also talk about this there.
Very well.
We will accept your invitation.
Will you really go, my lady?
My brother didn't leave me any other choice.
I'd rather be exiled than marry Emir Bahattin.
Isn't there any other way, any other solution?
We obey the laws and customs.
What can I do when my brother has given his order?
All these years, I've listened to all your troubles.
I've been your companion. Don't hide it from me.
What are you saying, Mengü?
What am I hiding?
I know there is a fire inside you.
When that ember burns in your heart, the smoke comes out of the eyes first.
Your eyes are full of the flames of the fire you carry in your heart.
Don't hide it from me, my lady.
I know you fell for Ertuğrul Bey.
Mine was just a small hope.
A dream that will never come true.
Why do you think so, my lady?
I fell in love with Ertuğrul Bey.
But I couldn't say it. I was afraid.
I was afraid that I would say it...
and he wouldn't understand.
After all the evil he saved me from,
after all the favors he did for me,
I was afraid of disgracing myself in front of him.
The bird of love cannot stay in a cage, my lady.
I think you should betray your secret.
Tell him about the fire in your heart.
Tell him so he knows.
Tara.
What happened?
Ertuğrul acted before us.
He found out that Mikis was working for us.
When I got to his home, Ertuğrul's alps were taking him away.
Sir, I couldn't do my job.
I can't live with myself now. Let me kill myself here and now.
Hush.
I can't lose you. You are needed here.
Then what should I do?
Mikis.
He will certainly give your name to Ertuğrul.
You can't stay in Söğüt now.
Go away from here.
As you wish.
We will not let the Mongols have...
what the Anatolians pinched and scraped.
We will achieve this by pitting them against the other bastards.
Let's say Dragos and his men get this done.
What if they play a dirty trick?
What if they don't give us half of the gold?
They don't need to give us half of it, Turgut.
We will take it all.
Mergen, follow them when they leave the caravansary the taxes are gathered in.
They won't go to the castle.
They must have a secret lair.
Find out where that lair is.
If we find that lair, we can get...
not only the gold, but the real Dragos, too.
As you wish, Bey.
Dragos and his men will kill the Mongols and take the gold.
And the Mongols will kill Emir Bahattin.
Then, we will go to Dragos's lair and take the gold.
Bey, they say a dog does not eat dog,
but these dogs will tear each other to pieces.
You will go to the Castle of Lefke, and tell them about the caravansary.
All this time, they attacked us simultaneously.
Now, when they all fight each other, they will see...
how our wit will make them point their swords at one another.
I vowed not to let my enemies die before I take my revenge on them.
That corrupt bastard, Bahattin, who caused Artuk Bey to be blind...
When the sword beneath which he hides cuts off the head of Bahattin,
my revenge will set an example.
Bey, once we destroy all our enemies one by one,
we will establish our state in no time, God willing.
I hope so, Bamsı.
I hope so, but...
let's see if God will grant us that bliss?
Why not, Bey? We fight for our cause. Why wouldn't we succeed?
A state...
only rises on the shoulders of brave men whose hearts are like gardens of wisdom.
God has many lions with arms of steel
and broad shoulders.
However,
when God grants them the gift of state,
they think they achieved it.
When they gain power,
they forget about their god who granted it to them.
Then, they perish.
What is important is not winning, Bamsı.
It is to hold what you gain in your hands...
with love and respect.
May God keep us from losing ourselves...
to the appeal of power and a high seat.
Amen.
I told you to find the chest.
I told you to learn something useful!
Not only did you fail to learn anything,
you also ran away like a rabbit, leaving the men behind.
I did everything I could to learn where the chest is.
Your Highness, I even blinded the man.
But their lips are sealed.
He didn't budge even a bit.
Because of that chest,
the sword of the Mongols is on my neck every day.
Every day! Do you understand me?
If you can't make the man you captured say a few words,
what good are you, huh? What good are you?
And he is saying he blinded him!
A smart man would know how to make him talk without doing anything.
Your Highness.
Maybe they really don't have the chest.
Are you saying that I, the great Emir Bahattin, made you catch him for nothing?
Are you implying that?
Never, Your Highness.
Get up.
Get up!
The tax convoy of Söğüt isn't here yet.
We have to find out at once what Beybolat did.
All the taxes that were collected are here.
And this is the skull of the bey who refused to pay the tax.
We coated it with his gold that we confiscated and brought it for you.
I can't see the taxes of Söğüt.
-Did you forget to write it down? -We haven't received it yet.
What do you mean?
These have to go to Hulagu Khan right away.
Are we playing a game here?
May God protect all these.
Plenty of tax money.
It keeps adding up.
Doesn't it, Commander?
It would be better if all of it were here.
Where are the taxes of Söğüt, Bahattin?
They are on their way, Commander. On their way.
It's winter. There is snow and cold. It must be why they are late.
Do you think I'm a child?
All of them arrived on time,
but only Söğüt's are stranded in the cold? Is that so?
See, this in my hand...
is the skull of someone who didn't want to pay his taxes.
If Söğüt's taxes aren't here soon,
this is how you will end up.
Do you understand?
Don't worry, Commander. Don't worry.
I will be in Söğüt by the evening.
I will take care of it myself.
Now, let's...
impress the seal of delivery.
No seals before all of them are here.
You will be responsible for them until they are complete.
When the taxes of Söğüt get here, then I will accept them.
And if it doesn't come,
I will seal this paper with your blood and send it to Hulagu Khan.
Now go and take care of it.
Welcome.
Thank you.
I hope Ertuğrul has sent the information we've been expecting.
The place where the gold is gathered...
is the caravansary on the road outside Söğüt.
Who will be in the caravansary?
Only the Mongols.
Give Ertuğrul our gratitude.
We will let him know when it's done.
We already know everything that goes on.
Ertuğrul Bey said, "Everyone should do their part.
And they shouldn't abuse our trust." Don't forget that.
Guard!
Gather the soldiers. And tell Commander Dragos we're going to the caravansary.
We will kill the Mongols and take the gold.
Yes, sir.
-Bey? -Tell me.
Tara didn't open his shop, Bey.
And he's not at his home. We searched through Söğüt. We looked everywhere...
but he's nowhere to be found.
When we got Mikis, he must have run away like a coward.
Stay alert.
They can come out anytime, anywhere.
-As you wish, Bey. -Bey?
The patrolling alps sent word, too.
Emir Bahattin is on his way to Umuroğlu camp.
They didn't tell us about this, so they must be up to something.
We will find out eventually.
You go back to your posts.
Ertuğrul Bey.
You saved İlbilge Hatun from the castle. From those demons.
Everyone in Söğüt talks about your heroic act.
Thank you. Thank you, Zangoç.
-I did my duty as margrave. -God bless you.
God bless you. You are our hope.
Thank you.
Soon, Ertuğrul. Very soon.
When the time comes, your only duty will be to die in my hands.
Emir Bahattin has sent word.
He will come to our camp tonight. I want everything to be perfect.
As you wish, Beybolat. Don't worry. We will take care of everything.
If we leave it to İlbilge,
she will offer nothing but vinegar to the emir of the Seljuks.
It's all because of her disobedience to me.
Because of her uncontrollable stubbornness.
How about you, sister?
Is that your attitude towards your brother, too?
What do you mean, Beybolat?
Instead of doing what I order,
would you disobey me?
Never, Beybolat.
How could you think that?
You were always different, Sırma.
You weren't stubborn like her.
What if...
for the sake of our tribe,
I told you to marry Ertuğrul Bey?
It is my duty to do as you order, brother.
We are invited to the Umuroğlu camp, Mother.
We had to return their visit anyway.
Dear, tell the women...
to prepare gifts that would suit the Kayı tribe.
-We wouldn't want to be embarrassed. -Don't worry.
I will take care of it myself.
But returning the visit...
won't be our only reason to go.
Beybolat Bey wants to talk to me about a favorable deed.
What could it be?
He says it is to strengthen the brotherhood of the two tribes.
Obviously, he wishes to tie the families with a marriage.
Then, he must mean to marry you to his sister, Sırma, Bey.
Because he wants to marry İlbilge Hatun to Emir Bahattin.
Bey. Of course, you know it best,
but it was obvious they would do such a thing from the way they approached us.
What worries you so much?
If they offer something like we think,
of course, it is our duty to obey your decision, Bey.
But now, please listen to your sad sister-in-law.
I have a feeling, Bey. I feel it. They are not trustworthy.
Did you hear something, Selcan Hatun?
I didn't.
I just don't have a good feeling about Beybolat.
Since the day he came, he's been talking strangely.
Now, I am afraid he will play a trick, Bey.
Bees have honey in their mouths, but they still sting.
We have to be cautious all the time.
If it is fated, caution will not work, Selcan Hatun.
May God give us good futures.
But I agree with everything you say.
I've made the necessary preparations. Don't worry.
Wait, dear. Don't be suspicious yet.
Let's find out what it's about first.
What do you think, son?
Selcan Hatun is right to be suspicious, Mother.
I don't trust Beybolat Bey, either.
Because he is too close to Emir Bahattin.
If it is what we think it is,
then he obviously has an ulterior motive.
You know that better than us, son.
You practically raised your children on your own.
I also know how much you loved Halime.
When I remember her,
even I feel like crying.
What can we do? It's God's will.
However,
I'm very old, son.
You need a woman...
who will tidy up around you.
You will make this decision yourself.
Umuroğlus came here on the order of the state.
It is not only for the collection of the taxes.
There are other tricks played on us through them.
In case of possible disturbances,
the union of the two tribes is important.
If we get Umuroğlus on our side,
we can spoil the plots
of those trying to hurt us through them.
My heart doesn't see anyone but Halime, Mother.
If it happens, it will be a political marriage.
Ertuğrul was right.
The tax gold is gathered here, in the caravansary.
-Cars full of gold. -How will we get in, sir?
First, you will go in.
Then, us. You will slither inside.
Stealthily like a snake.
Then, when they least expect it,
you will poison them.
We will take care of the rest.
You got so close to Ertuğrul disguised as Zangoç,
and no one noticed.
It's not going to be hard for me to replace a servant in there, either, sir.
The Mongols love festivities.
Serve them with pleasure tonight at the feast, Uranos.
Great nökers of Hulagu Khan, the ruler of the world!
Glorious warriors who rule the world with their swords!
Wouldn’t you like to taste this wine more delicious
than the blood you spilled?
It's all been brought for you.
A blood-like wine!
Come here, inn boy.
Right away, sir.
I don't like this wine.
Pour some of that wine that you've been praising, so I can taste it.
But if I don't get drunk, I will drink your blood.
It's good. What did you say about this?
Like blood, sir. A wine like blood.
This wine is like blood. Like blood.
Wine like blood!
Like blood.
When the Mongols breathe down my neck, look at the trouble we get into.
It all went to the heathens.
You know that...
all the problems we face about these taxes are your responsibility, don't you?
What should I have done, Your Highness?
Should I have left my sister there?
No, I'm not saying that.
At least that gold was sacrificed for the life of İlbilge Hatun.
Until we take it back somehow, we will do something about it.
I will make Dragos pay the price for this, Your Highness.
You can rest assured.
I am sure, Beybolat. I am.
If I wasn't sure,
you'd be under the axe of an executioner during this conversation.
It's enough if you know this much.
And find out...
what kind of deal Ertuğrul made with Dragos.
I will find out about it right away, Your Highness.
However,
Ertuğrul is a much better fighter than I thought.
And not only his strength.
He uses his wits well, too.
I see you've become one of those who admire Ertuğrul.
Don't forget why you came here.
It is not admiration, it's an observation.
Keep your knowledge to yourself.
Just do what I say.
I haven't forgotten...
what you said to me. Or why I came here, Your Highness.
One can't carry two swords in one sheath.
You know it well.
But you will agree that an enemy like Ertuğrul...
can't be defeated face to face.
-So, I found another way. -What kind of way?
I will offer him the hand of my other sister, Sırma, in marriage.
That must be the quickest way to infiltrate the Kayıs and seize power.
And Sırma is not like İlbilge.
She is stealthy.
And she is loyal to our tribe.
Now, you show that you've been educated by us, Beybolat.
It's a very smart move. However,
İlbilge Hatun hasn't given a precise answer about our marriage yet.
Don't be fooled by her nimble act.
İlbilge is a little timid.
She is shy.
She needs to warm up to the idea of marriage slowly.
I will talk to her myself and warm her up.
That's the reason why I will stay here for a while.
I will soften her with sweet words. I am sure I will convince her.
And I want to be present at the dinner tomorrow.
-I hope that's all right. -Of course, Your Highness.
We will be glad and honored.
Besides, we may take care of two marriages at the same time, huh?
I hope so.
In the meantime, I can deal with Ertuğrul.
Then we have to take care of the chest.
They are all dead, sir.
One of them is still alive.
It seems like he didn't drink enough of the blood wine.
Bring the wine.
Open your mouth!
Open it!
Drink it!
Drink!
Drink! Drink, drink.
Drink! Drink! Drink!
This is the greatest victory I have won so far.
We have all the taxes collected from Anatolia.
Take all of the chests of gold.
The gold won't be the only thing that we won, sir.
The blood we spilled here will create a massive massacre.
That's why this is my greatest victory.
With just one move, I will shake the world to its core.
The Mongols will turn Anatolia into hell.
They can make mountains with the heads of the Turks, I don't care a bit.
From now on, I have wealth in my hands and victory on my sword.
