THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
This ointment will help you heal, brother.
That bastard will be brought to account for this.
Osman is nowhere to be found.
We need to find out where they took him.
Calm down, Brother. Beybolat Bey's talking with that bastard.
Didn't you see, Savcı? He's one of their men. He's loyal to them.
I told you we couldn't trust the Umuroğulları.
They would even attack us if it meant winning the Mongols' favor.
We allowed that snake to get close to us.
I suspected something was off about him the moment I saw him.
Let's just see what happens next.
This is not the time, Süleyman!
We need to find out where Osman is.
We need to think of a way to get rid of them!
It won't be that easy, Gündüz.
What do you mean?
Alıncak...
he's not like the other Mongols you've seen.
He looms over everything like a nightmare.
If we can't stop him, he will dry up the rivers,
destroy the mountains and kill every family .
-All right? -Yes, sir.
It's an impressive castle.
It overlooks the road.
It's on the trade route.
Having it would prove very lucrative for us.
What does that mean?
It means, if you don't give us our stolen gold,
we will attack the castle and take it from you.
Firstly...
you can't expect to take this castle the way you took the Turkish tribes.
Secondly...
we don't have your gold.
If you came here for the gold, you were wrong to do so.
Ertuğrul has the gold.
You admitted that you stole the gold.
But now you're saying Ertuğrul has it.
You are either very stupid,
or you think we are very stupid.
Haven't you taken their camps? Search them.
You might discover where Ertuğrul has hidden the gold.
That gold must be returned to us, Commander!
You wouldn't want to...
gaze upon the beautiful architecture of this castle...
hanging by your neck from the castle walls.
By the way,
since you have chosen to collaborate with Ertuğrul,
you can deliver this message to him.
Everyone in his camp has been taken hostage.
His son Osman has been taken by our soldiers.
If he doesn't give us what we want, his son will die.
Great castle!
We've told everyone that Ertuğrul has the gold,
but not even the Mongols believe it.
It's all part of Beybolat's plan.
Beybolat? How would he be able to play such a trick?
He's discovered who has the gold, and now he's going to take it.
But I'm not going to let him!
Ertuğrul Bey doesn't want anybody to get hurt.
Mother Hayme, you did the right thing by surrendering.
That's also why the Bey sent us here.
Ertuğrul Bey knows what he's doing.
Ertuğrul has betrayed both his state and Hülagü Khan.
The decision is final.
Nothing can save him from death.
His alps have surrendered.
And if you also obey us...
I will spare your lives.
We will do as Ertuğrul Bey commands.
There will be no bloodshed.
Commander Alıncak!
In that case, henceforth, Artuk Bey will be the bey of this tribe.
Artuk Bey will follow my orders.
We have brought the captured beys of the Oghuz tribes, Commander Alıncak.
Let them come in.
Wait here.
Ertuğrul...
the last time you came here, we made a pact of cooperation with you.
But you broke that agreement.
Why are you here now?
Forget the past.
I am here to talk to you about a much more serious matter.
We heard the Mongols invaded your lands. Is that why you're here?
This problem is bigger than you think it is.
I came to form an alliance.
Such an alliance will protect us, but it will also protect you.
The Mongols didn't invade our lands. They invaded yours.
Do you really think the blood flowing today will not reach you one day?
Do you really think the Mongols will not
turn the sharp point of their swords towards you one day?
If you are a wise man,
you already know it is likely that the Mongols will attack here too.
You are in trouble, too.
If we do not form an alliance, these men will destroy us all.
With whom will we form an alliance?
Your tribes have been overrun. The Turks are desperate.
We have this castle and an army. What do you have?
Your Ertuğrul Bey turned tail and ran.
No more. When I find him, I will skin him alive,
and use him as a mat in my tent.
I will destroy the tribes of those who helped him.
From this point on, your margrave is Beybolat Bey!
Does anyone here object?
We fought for these lands. We won't be bullied into surrendering them!
It was Ertuğrul Bey who conquered them.
And you...
You slaughtered my tribe, killed my sons.
You can go to hell, Alıncak!
Ertuğrul Bey will trample you all into the ground!
I will show you what it is to trample.
You saw the force of my wrath against rebels.
Are there any other rebels here?
In that case, take the beys back to their tribes.
Tonight...
in Ertuğrul's tent, we will celebrate our victory.
And the tribe's women...
will prepare delicious food for my soldiers and I.
As for you, Selcan Hatun.
Tonight, you will serve me and my guests...
in this tent.
I'd rather die than serve you!
Then I will kill your son right before your eyes.
My son is the son of a bey.
He would die of shame if he saw me serving you!
Sometimes...
Tengri surprises me!
You know the traditions well.
How did a fool like Gündoğdu manage to hold on to a woman like you?
It surprises me.
My bey is a true man!
My fever has abated.
I will not kill you now.
But when the time comes, I will keep my promise to Hayme Hatun,
and will give you an honorable death.
To all of you.
Don't underestimate us.
We will be joined by many more of our men shortly.
Who?
My brother Gündoğdu and his alps.
Did you really think I would give Söğüt to the Mongols so easily?
I had every detail of this campaign planned from the very beginning.
It's going to be a punishing war.
I have as many men as you.
And you only have your castle to hide.
But I have the mountains. I have the steppes.
I have all the tribes loyal to me.
Think about it.
Do you believe you can survive the Mongolian scourge alone,
or would it be wiser to form an alliance?
Think about it.
How can I be sure it would be any more successful
than our collaboration over the gold?
You reap what you sow.
Loyalty for loyalty... and punishment for betrayal.
What are you going to do now?
Don't move from your castle. I will send word to you soon.
I will know if you contact the Mongols.
And if that happens, your problem will be with me.
Ertuğrul...
a Mongol came here.
He wanted me to deliver a message to you.
What is the message?
They have Osman, your son.
If you don't give them what they want, they will kill him.
Aren't you going to do anything to stop Alıncak?
I will do what I can.
But this is the Mongols' way.
They strike like lightning, and they burn like fire.
How long will this barbarity go on?
Barbarity?
They haven't done anything yet, sister.
If I hadn't stopped them...
you wouldn't believe what they would have done to you.
I warned Ertuğrul about the Mongol threat. But he didn't listen to me.
He thought he could fight them with a couple of alps.
So, he deserves what he's got.
What do you mean?
We will soon be related to the Kayı Tribe.
We call each other brother and sister. Do you want them to get hurt?
If I had wanted them to get hurt,
Alıncak would have slaughtered them
and then burned their bodies with the rest of their tribe.
And forget about us becoming family.
Don't dwell on it.
What about Osman?
If you know how he is, tell me. Mother Hayme is desperate.
He's fine. Don't worry.
When Ertuğrul gives the Mongols what they want,
they will hand back the boy.
And Ertuğrul Bey?
İlbilge... you must forget about him.
Ertuğrul is a dead man now.
I thought you might be thirsty.
You thought right.
So, your sister is to marry Ertuğrul.
And you?
Has your brother also given you to someone?
No.
Good.
And your sister?
It seems that she loves Ertuğrul.
The marriage was to unite our tribes.
But our respect for our khan remains undiminished.
My sister will learn to live with her pain.
If you will excuse me.
Tell Hayme Hatun and Artuk Bey...
that I want them to be present at dinner.
As they obeyed me...
I want them beside me at my table.
After dinner...
I want to get to know you better, Sırma Hatun.
Come once more with sherbet in your hand,
as gentle as a dove.
My brother and I would be honored to join you at dinner.
I am going to ask you a lot of questions.
You will tell me everything you know in that sweet voice of yours.
As you wish, Commander Alıncak.
Are you concerned about the deal we made with Ertuğrul, sir?
No.
It was the right thing to do, for both of us.
So, why are you so preoccupied?
I was getting so close to Ertuğrul...
and then the Mongols attacked!
I planned every detail.
I risked my own life.
If that arrow...
You saved my life, bell-ringer.
had been a fraction higher, I could have died.
Do you understand, Uranos?
I was prepared to risk my own life.
I was going to find that chest.
But then the Mongols came and turned everything upside-down.
Look on the bright side, sir.
Ertuğrul needs us now.
What you see as a good thing...
is actually the worst that could happen.
We now need Ertuğrul, too.
All this violence for this chest, right, Bey?
But this chest will also put an end to the violence and save our tribes,
and enable us to continue our walk upon our holy road.
What is it, Mergen?
I followed the bell-ringer like you ordered, Bey.
He went to Lefke Castle today.
He stayed there for a while.
Why would the bell-ringer go there?
Maybe he fled the Mongol invasion, and went there to hide, Bey?
There might be another reason.
Do you think the bell-ringer is in contact with Dragos, Bey?
Not just in contact.
I think he's doing a lot more than that.
Bastard! But what good is he with that hunchback?
Bey, let's give him what he deserves.
Don't do anything to him, Bamsı. He might prove useful to us.
We won't do anything before we know exactly what's going on.
Keep following him without revealing yourself, Mergen.
Bey, that chest contains many of our state secrets.
It has the names of all the men who are ready to revolt against the Mongols.
Can you really just give it away, Bey?
Can't we end the violence and save our tribes...
without handing over the chest, Bey?
I think of you as my mother, Grandmother.
You are the only mother I've known.
When I was sick or sleeping,
when I woke up at night, it was always you I saw by my side.
My poor boy.
I rocked your cradle, Osman.
I cared for you when you were sick and comforted you when you cried, Osman.
I doted on you, my dearest Osman.
Those savages came and took you from me.
They cut my rosebud with their blunt swords.
My dear Osman!
My dearest Osman!
May I come in, Mother Hayme?
Come in, my dear.
I came to ask if you needed anything.
I know...
you no longer trust me.
But I can assure you that I have nothing to do with this.
I have loved Ertuğrul Bey from the moment I first laid eyes on him.
I'd rather die than betray him.
I think of Osman as my own son.
I've talked to my brother.
Osman is fine.
You don't need to worry about him.
My brother said they're expecting something from Ertuğrul Bey.
I don't know what.
When he gives it to them, they will release Osman.
I have loved you all as if you were my own family.
I regard you as my mother, Mother Hayme.
I could never hurt any of you. You must know that.
If you will excuse me.
Do you love us despite your brother, my dear?
I love you... despite everything and everybody, Mother.
I have confessed my love. There is no turning back from that.
May I come in?
Come in!
Commander Alıncak has invited you to dinner, Hayme Hatun.
Our margrave, Beybolat Bey, will also be there.
You are also invited.
