THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
What does the letter say, Commander?
The one who killed my soldiers and took Keykavus was not Ertuğrul...
They were Berke Khan's men.
So, they took Keykavus.
How did they know it was Berke Khan's men?
Our spies say that Berke Khan's men
have been seen in the vicinity of the Byzantine lands.
And it says we should be careful.
But it's too late.
They took Keykavus from us.
This is a damned land.
There is a devil in every inch of it.
But my soldiers will continue to search for him.
He won't escape from us.
We told you that it had nothing to do with Ertuğrul Bey.
If Ertuğrul didn't do this, then where is he? And his three alps?
You wanted the gold. He must be looking for it.
Then I am going to the inn.
I want to have the gold by tomorrow night.
If I don't have it, I will burn your camp down.
Do you want to take what you want, or to burn our camp down?
Do you think the great Hülagü Khan will wait for a simple tribe bey?
I already gave him enough time. And it is due tomorrow!
If I don't get the gold,
Ertuğrul will find nothing but ashes instead of his camp.
This conversation is over.
Beybolat Bey, come with me.
Will my father bring the gold, Artuk Bey?
Ertuğrul Bey knows perfectly
what to bring and where to bring it, Osman.
Don't worry.
Bell ringer!
Yes, Bey.
Are they gone, Bey?
They are gone, bell ringer. You go back to the inn.
We were already prepared.
But thank you for letting us know.
It's the least I can do.
I'm glad that those bastards couldn't do anything to you.
I am always at your service.
Come on, bell ringer.
Get out.
Did your brother send you to kill me?
We don't attack people who are tied up.
There are alps everywhere.
There is no need to tie you up.
Good.
Since you're not here to take my life, what do you want?
I want to talk.
We have nothing to talk about.
We do!
What you did to Sırma will cause trouble for both tribes.
What about what Sırma did to me?
Haven't you seen it? Haven't you heard it?
Didn't you play a part in all this?
She's been causing great distress among women
since she came to the weaving quarters.
And you close your eyes to her wrongdoings.
What's done is done, and we can't do anything about it.
Now...
you will ask for forgiveness from both Sırma and my brother.
Or it will cost you...
and both tribes dearly.
Never!
I didn't do anything wrong to ask for forgiveness.
And I'm not going to ask for forgiveness from you.
The women in the weaving quarters witnessed the incident,
it was self-defense.
I just want a fair trial.
Stubbornness is your enemy, and anger is a disease.
Just accept the offer.
And ask for forgiveness.
We can reach a compromise.
Now, you listen to me.
I will accept any judgment.
However, I will never ask for forgiveness from Sırma and your brother.
Then you will ruin everybody's lives.
Think about it.
Did any of you hear who Ertuğrul took?
No, sir. It was someone we have never seen before.
What did he look like?
Did he look like a nobleman or a peasant? Answer me!
Of course, he's not a peasant.
It's Keykavus, the Seljuk Sultan!
Soldiers, get out.
Keykavus, then.
So Ertuğrul wanted our men to help saving him.
There's something I don't understand.
Ertuğrul was banished from his camp.
His alps were scattered...
and Ertuğrul lost all of his allies.
How did Ertuğrul learn that they were going to bring Keykavus
from Constantinople, when even we didn't know that?
Do you think someone is helping him, sir?
Absolutely, Uranos. Absolutely.
There is a secret hand who helps him.
But who?
We will find that out.
What are we going to do, sir?
Think about it.
The Byzantine handed over that man to the Mongols,
and then Ertuğrul saved him...
He is a very powerful key for this land.
We will keep an eye on him.
If need be, we will take him.
Yes, sir.
Ertuğrul is sending a message with his alp.
He wants to meet me tomorrow morning.
Let's see what he wants from me.
Alıncak will be at the inn.
I am going there.
We need to get useful information from him.
Guards!
I am sorry to hear what happened to you, Sultan.
Thank God, you're here now.
You're in good shape.
Thanks to Ertuğrul Bey and his alps.
They saved me from captivity.
We used to crown the emperors.
Now they've destroyed our crown, our throne.
We are just a handful of men fighting for independence now.
And we're against a giant army.
What we took for granted was taken from us, Sultan.
What do you mean?
We took our crown and throne for granted.
We took our armies for granted.
We had a lot of pride in these things.
And it affected our soul.
These things came between us and Allah.
However, Allah wants us to trust only Him.
You are right.
We did many mistakes.
And we're paying for our mistakes now.
Allah shows mercy towards His servants.
Allah doesn't torture His servants, but mercies them.
The desperation we are in now...
will be our biggest strength.
-God willing. -God willing.
Why is this happening?
Hardships and difficulties...
are like a test for people.
The weak fail.
The ones who believe in Allah will survive and succeed.
They only trust in Allah, and only ask Him for help.
And Allah wouldn't leave them helpless.
Just like in the Battle of Hunayn.
In the Battle of Hunayn,
our Prophet's army was composed of 12,000 men.
Some of them thought...
they were strong, and that nobody could compete with them.
However, numbers mean nothing unless you trust in Allah.
And because they only trusted their numbers,
when the enemy started a fierce attack,
they were defeated badly.
Most of them retreated in disorder,
and only eight soldiers stayed with the Prophet.
They stayed for Allah, for our Prophet.
And Allah didn't leave them helpless.
This was a test for them,
because they only had faith in their numbers.
With Allah's blessing,
and the wisdom of our Prophet and the eight men along with him,
the army was gathered again.
The Prophet picked up a handful of soil,
and he hurled it at the enemies' faces while saying:
"May your faces be shameful."
Their eyes were thick with dust,
and their hearts were full of fear.
If we fall apart, we have Allah to gather us again.
As long as we stand firmly, like those eight men
who defended the Prophet on the battlefield that day.
Allah would turn a handful of earth into a great army...
and wouldn't leave the believers helpless...
and let them be defeated by the enemy.
May Allah bless you, Master.
My soul has been like imprisoned in my own body, and you lifted my spirit.
May Allah make us faithful and tenacious believers
like those eight fighters.
-Amen. -Amen.
If we work hard, Allah will help us.
Now, we all need to start a fire to melt down
the mountain of oppression that surrounds us on all sides.
We will fight until there is only one shield, one sword, one alp left...
and we won't abandon our hopes, God willing.
God willing.
-God willing, Bey. -God willing.
The soldiers will continue to search. Send a message to Konya.
Ask them to send reinforcements from the Seljuk Army.
We're getting ready for a war.
Yes, Commander Alıncak.
Haven't you died yet?
They had been lying in wait for us. We couldn't stop them.
Kill me. I can't live with this shame.
If we can't find Keykavus, our khan will make his horses run over all of us!
I won't stop until...
I find that wolf who wounded me, and I flay him.
Calm down. You are shaking with anger.
Of course I am shaking with anger!
Up to this day, I had fulfilled all my duties.
Once I delivered Keykavus, I was going to become Hülagü Khan's top commander.
But I'm about to disgrace myself now.
I will fall from our khan's grace.
How did you decide that Ertuğrul wasn't behind this?
I think you should think about it again.
Are you implying that our spies gave us false information?
Or do you mean that I am stupid,
and that I misevaluated the information they gave?
I didn't mean that.
However, you know the Kayı Tribe and Ertuğrul very well.
-They can do anything. -Enough!
It looks like we will see more of these tricks in this land.
I'm going to take care of everything.
And I will find Keykavus.
But first, the chest...
I will deliver it to Hülagü Khan before something happens to it.
Hülagü Khan is waiting for the gold.
I hope Ertuğrul brings the gold by tomorrow.
I told them what would happen if he doesn't bring it.
Nothing can save them this time.
Him, and his tribe!
You did ask me if you could spill blood, if the Kayı Tribe doesn't obey me.
I'm giving you an opportunity. Get ready with your alps.
If Ertuğrul doesn't bring the gold, we will destroy all the Kayı Tribe.
And you will cut them with your sword.
I've told you, Commander. I'd kill even my own father for my duty.
Sister!
You scared me.
I had my heart in my mouth.
Do you feel any pain?
I'm better now. But I have a burning feeling in my belly.
I think the wound isn't closed yet, Sister.
Artuk Bey said it will heal in a few days.
But I know you. Don't try to stand up before you recover, okay?
May I come in?
What's that woman doing here?
Come in, Hayme Hatun.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
How are you, Sırma Hatun?
She's fine, thank God.
Both İlçin Hatun and Artuk Bey say she's getting better.
Thank God. It was an unfortunate event.
-May God save us from the worst. -The worst?
You shed my blood. You tried to kill me.
What is worse than this?
But we will make you pay for this.
Anger begets blood.
You can't solve this with anger.
An eye for an eye, Hayme Hatun.
I won't rest until I get my revenge.
Look, my dear.
A good scare is worth more than good advice.
Let this unfortunate event be a lesson to all of us.
Acting with hostility wouldn't do good to anybody.
Forgive her, and let's forget about this.
Selcan came at me, you didn't say anything.
She attacked me at the inn, you didn't care.
And now she stabbed me.
And you're trying to be the peace envoy.
I won't forgive her before I get my revenge.
The die has already been cast.
Get the alps ready, Yınal.
Ertuğrul won't bring the gold.
He will never give it to him.
-All hell might break loose tomorrow. -We're all ready, Bey.
We wait for your command.
Now it's time for us to take over the management, Yınal.
It's not for nothing that they say mercy begets mercy.
Alıncak was going to trample their camp down.
I stopped him. But what did they do?
They stabbed my sister.
They don't appreciate mercy.
There is no Beybolat anymore.
Albastı is here.
I will deal with that woman Selcan tomorrow.
I will punish her for what she did...
and let it be a lesson for all the Kayı Tribe.
Then I will kill all of the mutineers.
Bey!
Bey, where have you been?
What happened, bell ringer?
That bastard Alıncak came to the camp, Bey.
He was going to massacre the camp.
But a letter came at the last moment, and he decided not to do it.
Sultan Keykavus was taken, he said.
He thought you took him, and that's why he came to the camp.
He can go after the ones who took him.
Do you have any other information?
I do, Bey.
If you don't deliver the gold by tonight,
he will burn the camp down, Bey. God forbids!
He won't do anything, don't worry.
Then you've found the gold. He can't attack the camp.
Never mind that, bell ringer.
Has Alıncak said anything about the chest I gave him?
He did, sir. He's going to send the chest on ahead.
That's why I called you, bell ringer.
Keep your eyes open at the inn.
Learn when they send the chest.
Then tell Dragos about it.
He's going to take it.
He did us a favor, and we will do the same.
There is one more thing, Bey. Something happened at the camp.
What happened?
Selcan Hatun stabbed Sırma Hatun.
If you don't come to help, Beybolat will kill Selcan Hatun.
Lie down.
Are you feeling better?
Brother!
Sister, how are you? How is your wound?
Neither my wounded belly nor my wounded honor have healed yet.
They insulted me and my sister. They didn't obey us.
They trampled our traditions down.
And I will trample them down, too.
Don't worry.
You just get better first.
I won't get better...
until I see you take our revenge.
They insulted me...
and, even worse, they insulted the margrave by doing something like this.
Their real target isn't me.
It's you.
They couldn't accept that you became the margrave.
They need to be brought to account.
I will show them the consequences of stabbing the margrave's sister.
I will get revenge for every drop of blood they spilled.
They can't stop me now, sister.
Brother! Calm down.
If you try to get your revenge now, you will start a war between the tribes.
Then we will start a war!
They shed my sister's blood, so I will shed theirs.
Bad temper harms its possessor most.
If you act impulsively now, it will harm your lordship.
You should be careful.
I want an eye for an eye, İlbilge, no matter what it costs!
The one who stabbed my sister will be burned alive.
My sister is on the verge of death here. I don't care about my lordship.
Brother, you said "an eye for an eye."
But our sister is alive, thank God.
If you try to kill her, that wouldn't be fair.
Since you say that wouldn't be fair,
I will do something worse than death to her.
I will disgrace her in front of the tribe.
I will show Selcan what it means...
to stab the margrave's sister.
Ma'am, what are you doing? You need to rest.
My revenge comes first.
I can't rest until I see that woman suffer...
and pay for this. Bring my clothes.
Beybolat came to the camp.
He uses this opportunity to threaten us.
His sister was stabbed, Gündüz.
If you act impulsively, that would do more harm than good.
We need to stay calm now.
Artuk Bey is right.
Oh, Selcan, oh, my dear. Why did you do that?
He might be the margrave,
but we can't let them go against the traditions.
We all know the traditions!
And I'm the one who will take care of this!
You need to act fairly now, Beybolat Bey.
That blood-shedding rebel Selcan has revolted against me.
But don't worry, I will make her pay for this,
-and it will be a lesson to everybody. -What will you do, Beybolat Bey?
I will whip her in front of the whole tribe.
Your anger makes you blind, Beybolat Bey.
You can't punish her without a trial.
Someone’s blood was shed, Artuk Bey!
And we know who did it! There is no need for a trial!
It is evidence!
If you do this, you will be brought to account.
Yınal!
Quickly, bring me Selcan Hatun.
If someone is to be brought to account, that isn't me!
From now on, you will answer to me.
Since you insist on not understanding this,
I will teach you a lesson.
Why are you here, bastards?
Shut your mouth, woman.
We are taking you to Beybolat Bey.
He will punish you.
First, you will be punished...
and then your traitorous son will get what he deserves.
You are the traitors.
Neither he nor his punishment scare me.
Move away!
Süleyman knew what kind of person you were.
Since you've showed your real face, there is no turning back now,
neither for you nor us.
Süleyman?
His mother will live after the punishment.
But he won't.
His death will be a lesson to everybody.
Selcan Hatun, kneel down.
I will punish you now.
I will not kneel but spit in your face.
If you want me to kneel, just kill me.
Yınal, give me the whip.
I want to kill you.
But I'm the margrave.
My duty is to follow tradition.
I will whip you in front of the whole tribe.
Yınal, get Selcan Hatun out of the tent.
That's enough!
This is cruelty, not tradition.
You're making a mistake.
You can't punish her without a trial.
İlbilge Hatun, you are known as a righteous woman.
Talk to your brother now.
Tell him it's not fair.
Our margrave's decision is final.
We have to obey him.
You're using your position for revenge and personal gain.
I won't obey this margrave or this verdict!
If you want to take her, you must go through us first.
Then I will go through all of you to implement my law.
I'm here to transgress your law, and to put you in your place, Beybolat Bey!
Bey!
Ertuğrul was our biggest enemy.
Now we can't do anything without him.
How long will it last, sir?
Ertuğrul is still our biggest enemy.
But we need him alive for now.
If he dies, the balance of power will change.
We can't fight both the Mongols and an invisible enemy.
What are we going to do, sir?
We need to utilize our partnership with Ertuğrul, Uranos.
He has a great leverage with Keykavus.
And we received a recompense for our work.
What is that recompense, sir?
Ertuğrul...
He told me to take the secret chest.
That chest will be a shield for us against the Mongols.
Why does Ertuğrul want us to take an important chest like that?
He believes in our cooperation, so he thinks he will have it back.
But just like he didn't give us the gold,
we won't return the chest to him.
What about our cooperation, sir?
Don't ever think about it, Uranos.
We can't give such a valuable chest back, not even if we were brothers.
And...
I will learn when the chest will be sent.
Get your soldiers ready.
I want no mistakes.
Yes, sir.
Guards!
