THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
-Welcome, my bey. -Thank you.
-Welcome, my bey. -Thank you, Bamsı.
-Where is the bell ringer? -Oh...
He's gone, my bey. Again.
He's at the castle. They took the chest.
I sent word. Send him to me when he arrives.
All right, my bey. But I wonder...
The contents of that chest aren't important to us.
Why do you want it back?
The chest was a test of loyalty to them, Bamsı.
They're in a difficult situation now.
Let's see if the chest drives them crazy or if they break the chest.
All right, my bey.
Organize the alps, Bamsı.
Alıncak will be unpredictable when he learns that we've taken Söğüt.
Take precautions wherever you go.
We took Söğüt with our swords...
and we'll defend it with our swords if necessary.
All right my bey. As you wish.
What will we do now, sir?
Ertuğrul is asking for me at the inn.
Am I supposed to bring him the chest?
You are afraid of Ertuğrul, Uranos.
You're like a Turkish bey obeying him...
not a Byzantine commander standing against him!
Do they protect us from them?
Ertuğrul may be our enemy, but we need his friendship now.
And the destruction of this chest could damage that, sir.
Your duty is not to advise me, it is to obey me!
You misunderstand, sir.
-I'm not trying to advise you. -Enough!
What he did is nothing compared to what we did.
We gave him the soldiers he asked for.
He saved Keykavus thanks to us, but then gave him back without telling us.
He used us to gain Alıncak's friendship.
Since this friendship is obviously based on interests,
we have the right to protect ours as well.
What will I tell Ertuğrul?
How can I convince him?
Do I have to think about that as well?
Do whatever you need to do.
Well fought.
An alp must be like a panther.
Nobody else?
But the panther is up against a huge rock.
No tooth or claw harms it.
You lost because you saw...
I won because I didn't see.
How?
You only moved with your eyes.
You clouded your mind and senses.
I moved with all my senses.
It's not enough to just see the enemy...
You must also be able to feel what he is about to do.
An alp must always be ready to fight.
In the dark of the night, in the light...
in fire, and even...
in deep water.
You must be able to sense what your enemy will do...
even if you can't see.
With a cracking sound...
with a breath...
you must sense where the enemy is
and know how to attack him.
Understood?
Understood, my bey!
Come on.
You do it now! Come on!
That's Süleyman's horse.
Where did you find this horse?
Where is Süleyman?
We saw it near the Snake Rocks while on patrol.
Take this horse to Ertuğrul Bey with a letter.
As you command.
Go, go, go.
We'll go to the Snake Rocks at once to search.
I hope Süleyman is all right there.
Go on.
Alps, continue training.
My bey.
-He still hasn't talked? -No matter what I do.
He's unconscious.
You think a lock is strong if you can't open it.
However, the hand is more important than either the lock or the key.
Break the lock if you have no key.
Look into my eyes, Süleyman.
These eyes have scared people to death before.
You would know.
Treacherous scum.
I'm not scared of you.
I'll take your eyes.
And you said he wouldn't speak. Look how well he speaks.
Now he'll tell us where his father is,
along with the pardon letter for him.
My mouth could be full of blood and I would never speak to you.
You came to the wrong place.
Ertuğrul Bey will make this place a hell for you.
Your fate will be worse than that of any of the rebels I've faced until today.
Albastı will be your hell.
I'll burn you...
with my first fire.
Welcome.
At last, you've brought the chest.
I have.
But it's not as you wanted.
What happened?
The chest is broken.
The liquid has destroyed all the documents.
I'm sorry.
This chest was obviously forced open.
Did you do it?
No.
It happened during the fight.
That's when it was broken.
The papers were ruined when we arrived at the keep.
Ertuğrul...
I'm sorry I didn't bring this to you in the state you wanted it.
I don't want our friendship to suffer because of it.
I'll do anything to make it up to you.
You helped me with everything you could when we made our deal.
This chest won't affect our cooperation.
But...
we have something more important than this chest now.
Now we really must cooperate.
What is it?
Alıncak.
He's lost everything.
He will attack like a crazed bull.
And he'll want revenge because I became the frontier bey again.
What can I do for you?
I've already done everything necessary for my own safety.
I've taken my precautions.
But you should watch out too.
Befriending the Mongols is like befriending a bear.
If it gets hungry, it'll eat you.
If war breaks out, we must act together.
We'll use what's ours to help each other.
I'll do what's necessary.
You've witnessed the benefits of working with me.
I crushed Alıncak and got my lands back.
I kept him from attacking you.
If you wish to win...
and if you use your mind...
you won't let anything come between us.
The enemies at Söğüt today are like dust clinging to a rock.
The storm will blow them away.
But the rock remains.
Do you understand?
Excuse me, Ertuğrul. I must go back to my castle.
All right.
Where is Ertuğrul?
Inside.
Commander Dragos.
What are you doing here?
Are you here to celebrate Ertuğrul?
Not to celebrate, Alıncak.
To discuss the relationship between the castle and Söğüt.
The order here has changed.
I did my duty as the castle's commander.
Nobody changes the order without my permission.
We work with you.
If you have a problem, you come to me.
In future, don't meet with the man who took Söğüt without my approval
before consulting me.
Don't give me a fox to hunt down.
A fox is killed by a hunter for its hide...
a man is killed by betrayal.
Only someone greater than me can change the order I establish.
So, who here is greater than me?
Who here has the authority to change the order?
There's justice, Alıncak.
Justice gives everything back to those who deserve it.
I got back what was mine.
We had a deal, Ertuğrul.
I gave you your village and your tent.
But you became the frontier bey by force.
And I said that I'd get what was rightfully mine with my sword.
And I kept my word.
In my book, what's taken with a sword...
can be taken back with a sword.
If you're here to fight, know that I'm ready.
I told you.
If you reach out your hand as a friend, we'll shake it.
If you're an enemy, we'll cut it off.
We think alike.
Just as we conquered the world...
you took what was yours.
You protect your birthright like an eagle protecting her nest from falcons.
I need beys like this!
Our fates have become one at Söğüt, Ertuğrul.
Just as Söğüt is important to you...
its safety and rule under someone worthy is also important to me.
That's why...
you are the frontier bey.
But...
there's a condition.
What is that?
We'll continue to take taxes.
You'll pay whatever we ask.
Deal.
I kept my word to you.
I gave you both the chest and Keykavus.
You always benefit from your deals with me, Alıncak.
But you lost both the chest and Keykavus.
What will you do now?
My men are constantly searching.
I will join them now.
I'll capture Berke Khan's men.
No matter where they go, they'll never get away.
I won't just find the hunters...
I'll also find the scouts who lead their way.
Then, everyone will know who the real hunter is.
Be cautious, Alıncak.
Above every lion on a hunt,
there's an eagle waiting to attack it.
I will not tire of torturing you.
I'll make you scream here day and night. Go on, say it.
Where's the pardon letter for your father?
Where were you going to take it?
You are scared...
of my father like a dog, aren't you?
Don't worry, he'll find you before you find him.
You'll only see him once...
then, you won't see anyone.
Your father, who ran away like a dog, is going to do that?
If you won't tell, I'll send you back to your tribe.
But you won't be alive.
Death at the hands of traitors like you is martyrdom.
Don't stop then. Kill me now.
I'll give my life, but I won't talk.
Is that so?
Let's see if you say the same when I put your head...
in the lion's mouth.
Guard.
Allah!
At last Alıncak knows who's against him.
If he didn't know, he would've attacked by now.
But my bey, it seems unlikely he will calm down.
He won't find Keykavus or the chest anyway, Artuk Bey.
He'll try to save his own skin.
That's why we'll remain cautious.
We'll end Dragos and Alıncak, step by step.
They broke the chest too, my bey.
Obviously, they wanted to get the contents and betray us.
I laid my sword down towards them.
Not to cut off their heads, but...
to destroy the link between them.
Let them fight each other.
It will make our job easier.
May I come in, my bey?
Come, bell ringer.
You asked for me.
Bell ringer...
you carried out our orders and helped us communicate with the castle.
You told us what happened to Selcan Hatun.
You have the ears of an owl and the eyes of a falcon.
God is very merciful, my bey.
I might have a hunchback, but I see and hear well.
You deserve this. Here.
What happened to your hand, bell ringer?
Very unfortunate, my bey.
I had an accident and was scalded with boiling water.
Let Artuk Bey have a look.
No need for that, my bey. Let's not waste his time.
Come here.
My bey.
If Ertuğrul finds out that the liquid burned my hand,
I'll be compromised. Pour the boiling water, Uranos.
Don't worry, bell ringer.
I'll prepare a balm for you.
Thank you, my bey.
Thank you.
Here.
Thank you, my bey.
Was his hand burned by the liquid inside the chest, Artuk Bey?
My bey, it felt like it was boiling water.
Something is not right, Artuk Bey.
We'll find out what the bell ringer has to do with everything.
We'll watch the bell ringer.
Everything will all come to light in time, my bey.
My bey.
My bey, come to the yard. There's something important.
Let's go, Bamsı.
That's Süleyman's horse.
Where did they find it?
The alps on patrol found it, my bey. They took it to Turgut.
Turgut went after Süleyman in case something happened to him.
They want the pardon letter that he has.
That's why they kidnapped Süleyman.
Here is the letter, sir. It was in the saddle.
This isn't enough, Bamsı.
We must find Süleyman fast.
Who did this, my bey?
The man who doesn't want Gündoğdu to get his pardon letter.
-Where did Turgut go? -Towards the Snake Rocks.
You have the pardon, Artuk Bey.
Send it to my brother Gündoğdu at once.
Don't tell anyone from the tribe for now.
As you order.
Let's go quickly. Go.
Does he still not talk?
Allah!
He's stubborn. What will we do?
I've made many men like him talk.
Nobody can withstand my torture methods for long.
He will surely talk.
Did you find something?
They killed our alps who were guarding Süleyman, my bey.
The tracks start in the back, and go near the caves.
They will want to make him talk, Turgut.
We must go at once.
We must save him before they kill him.
All right, my bey.
He's still unconscious.
Put saltwater on his wounds.
The pain will wake him up.
If you're still feeling stubborn, we'll take care of it.
Otherwise, tell us where the pardon letter is.
Where were you taking it?
Ertuğrul Bey...
...crushed all the traitors.
He'll crush you too.
Let's cauterize the wounds on your head...
Maybe that'll make you talk.
You won't speak, huh?
What does this madman do?
He branded his tongue to stay silent.
The Snake Cave is up ahead.
Leave the horses here, it might be a trap.
Alps, surround the cave. Be ready to fight.
I haven't done anything yet.
If you knew me before, you would avoid seeing me altogether.
For sure, Selcan Hatun.
You tortured all the women, especially me,
as soon as you arrived.
You taught Sırma Hatun her place.
I didn't do enough to that dog.
I was like a lunatic.
It took me years to cleanse my soul.
I made Gündoğdu, my mother...
Süleyman Shah and even Ertuğrul Bey suffer a lot.
If not for their hospitality and patience...
If they hadn't accepted me as their sister and daughter...
who knows where I would have ended up?
They taught me how to be a bey's wife.
They taught me how a bey's wife acts.
I was barren...
but Allah blessed me with two brave children.
I was happy.
My Süleyman.
My İltegin.
Bless them.
May Allah give them long lives.
I hope you'll live long and happy.
Amen.
We all will, hopefully.
Amen.
May Süleyman make it to his father at once.
And bring him the pardon letter that Ertuğrul Bey
forcefully took from that scum.
I miss them so much, Hafsa Hatun.
Gündoğdu, my sons.
Enough. Let's get to work.
Let's finish this before I return home with my tribe.
Let's go.
He won't be speaking any more.
So be it.
A mute is no good to us.
Those who see Albastı's face...
don't see anyone else ever again.
Well done.
All of us.
You are wise and generous.
There's no God but you.
Allah, creator of everything, protect us from harm.
Protect us at all times, oh, Allah.
Selcan!
Dear.
What happened?
I'm fine, Mother.
It was my heart.
Wait.
Drink this.
I got up too fast.
I got dizzy, I think.
Do you feel better now?
Oh, my dear.
Don't do anything. Rest.
My dear.
Selcan.
