NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Don't be sad.
It hurts us to see you sad, Father.
Aybars...
my son.
Aybars is right, Father.
We're not used to seeing you silent and still like this.
My children...
I'm not sad.
I'm just a little absent-minded, that's all.
Don't you worry.
Everyone thinks of you when the word alp is mentioned.
Don't beat yourself up.
Since you were dismissed...
you can teach me to be an alp.
My Aybars...
didn't you say that you liked books more than swords?
I'm the son of Bamsı Alp, the bravest.
I like books too, but I will take up a sword when it's necessary.
But don't come and tell me later that you're tired...
and want to quit training.
I promise, Father.
We will start tomorrow so I can be an alp worthy of you.
All right then.
Look, an alp must be well-rested and strong.
Then it's time to rest.
Now...
go and sleep.
You will rise in the morning like arrows from a bow, all right?
As you order, Father!
Good, all right then.
To bed then.
Go to bed. Go and sleep.
I'm proud of you, children.
I'm so proud.
Ertuğrul's game is very dangerous, sir.
He will make you the bait for Alıncak.
Just as we wanted.
Alıncak and Ertuğrul will come into conflict.
We can risk everything to achieve that, Uranos.
Don't worry.
I won't be in danger.
The Mongols will come soon. They will take you to Alıncak.
We can't know what will happen after that.
Do you want me to send soldiers after you, sir?
Or I can come myself.
I'm very worried.
Ertuğrul's game is very dangerous.
My game is way more dangerous than his.
And rest assured...
Alıncak won't be the only loser this time.
-That's what I'm afraid of. -Uranos...
forget your fear.
And think about our assured victory.
Sir, Commander Alıncak's messengers are here.
Let them in.
God help you, sir.
Master Dragos! Where are they taking me?
Don't give me to them. Don't do this to me.
I beg you, don't let them take me.
Take the bell ringer.
Jesus, what have I done?
For the love of Jesus, what did I do to deserve this? Don't send me away!
What did I do to deserve this?
Follow them.
Let me know if anything goes wrong.
As you command.
Rest up, brother.
Are you feeling okay?
Thanks to you...
and Allah, I'm fine, my bey.
Without you, I would have been killed.
I can't really feel my feet.
Will I ever walk again, Artuk Bey?
We did what we had to, Mergen.
Rest assured.
Not feeling anything for a time is normal.
But when your burns heal and your skin is renewed,
your feet will work well, Allah willing.
Anyone else would have been dead after this torture.
I told that scum Alıncak
that his fire would only make me strong like steel.
He didn't believe me.
Brave men are not created out of nothing.
It takes fire, a hammer, an anvil and steel.
One of us must carry out these duties so that
we can be like a sword against the enemy.
What happened, my bey?
We were compromised.
All our preparations were for nothing.
If I had done my duty well...
I would have done something.
Don't pay attention to those thoughts.
One word can be enough to ruin a country that an army couldn't break.
You didn't say anything after being tortured.
You showed real courage.
Once you're up on your feet again,
we have a lot of work to do.
I hope so, my bey.
I'm always at your service.
It's time to take revenge on Alıncak.
We will write down what I say now.
We will send Alıncak into an ambush with those letters.
Those letters will be his death warrant.
My dear sister, tell me now.
Could you light the first spark that burns down the Kayi Village?
The smoke will be seen from here soon, Brother.
I've provoked Hafsa so much,
she doesn't even want to see Selcan anymore.
Good, good.
Since Hafsa Hatun is where we want her...
do not leave her unattended.
Let her fill Bamsı's head as much as she can.
Don't you worry, Brother.
Hafsa will be my closest friend from now on.
I will find an excuse to visit her tomorrow.
Let's see...
how well the tekfur's daughter does her job.
May I come in, my bey?
Come in, Baturalp!
Sister, you may leave.
My bey, Dragos sent word.
He's expecting you tomorrow.
-Commander, the bell ringer is here. -Bring him in.
You shake like a pigeon in the claws of a falcon, bell ringer.
What happened to the courage you showed when you stole Ertuğrul's secrets...
and sold them to Dragos?
I am speechless before your glory, sir.
Ertuğrul was feeding a snake for all those years, huh?
Is there a more venomous snake here than Ertuğrul?
Sit down here, eat with me.
Let's see if you like it.
What is this, sir? Looks delicious.
A horse's heart.
Eat the heart of something, and you take its soul.
But you were fed the heart of a fox.
That's why you're sly.
Now, you must be fast, swift and agile...
just like a horse.
Do you know why I called you here?
Master Dragos didn't say.
He told me to die if that's what you ordered.
I don't want that, I want the letters that Ertuğrul has.
You will bring them to me.
Go ahead.
Eat the heart.
Get the soul. Go ahead!
Eat!
-Here. -Thank you.
-And I need some cilantro and thyme. -Sure thing.
-Thank you. -Good day.
Hafsa Hatun.
Sırma Hatun.
-Good day, Hafsa Hatun. -Thanks. What is it?
I was going shopping, I wanted to say hello when I saw you.
Where are Aybars and Aslıhan?
You should have brought them. It would be good for them.
They would be bored.
They're training with Bamsı.
Good for Bamsı Alp.
He still has time for his kids with all those duties.
In the morning too.
Bamsı has no more duties, Sırma Hatun.
Bamsı Alp is the Head Alp of the Kayi Tribe.
What do you mean he has no duties?
Bamsı isn't Head Alp anymore, Sırma Hatun.
Ertuğrul Bey dismissed him.
What are you saying, Hafsa Hatun?
How did that happen?
He was dismissed for disobeying Ertuğrul Bey's order during a battle.
But Bamsı is right.
Pity.
They are going too far.
An alp risks his life all the time.
Let's say he did make a mistake...
how could you dismiss an alp like Bamsı?
I can't understand, Sırma Hatun.
I don't know what to say.
They attacked you and your kids.
Now it's Bamsı Alp.
You must really be out of favor now.
And he talks about justice all the time.
Where's the justice in that, Ertuğrul Bey?
How can you just dismiss the Head Alp after all those years?
Don't you worry. I'm with you always.
I don't care about the tribe or the beylik.
I won't abandon you.
Thank you, Sırma Hatun.
Thank you.
Dragos!
Why did you want to see me?
What do you want?
I hope you have good news about Ertuğrul.
Really good news.
What are you doing here?
Where is Dragos?
He went to throw Alıncak at Ertuğrul's feet, so he can finish him.
What are you plotting behind my back?
What kind of game is this?
Calm down, Beybolat.
We will both get what we want.
If you just let me speak.
Commander Dragos is risking his life
to hand you your father's killer on a golden plate.
Today.
Tell me.
Go on!
As you know, Ertuğrul ruined Alıncak's reputation.
Alıncak is trying to avenge himself with his poor, small army.
We know that Alıncak has no more value than an insect to you and Hülagü Khan.
Isn't that right?
What's going on in that demon mind of Dragos?
Tell me.
Think about it, Beybolat.
Ertuğrul will kill Alıncak, who couldn't carry out
Hülagü Khan's orders.
He and his men will be killed by Ertuğrul.
Then, suddenly...
the glorious Beybolat Bey will arrive.
As a bey loyal to his state and his Khan,
he will learn about Ertuğrul's games.
Ertuğrul kills Alıncak...
Beybolat Bey takes Ertuğrul's head.
He will cover his cursed head in honey and send it to Hülagü Khan.
With the letter explaining what happened.
His reputation will grow...
and we will be rid of them both.
Two birds with one stone, huh?
I have underestimated Dragos.
All right...
how will we do it?
How did Ertuğrul find Alıncak and set a trap for him?
That's our secret.
We're giving you both of them.
You do your job.
You will outgrow Söğüt...
and Lefke Castle won't contain us.
But...
there is one last thing Commander Dragos wants you to do.
Are the alps ready, Turgut?
They are, my bey.
We must go quickly, let's go.
Did you bring the letters?
I did, sir.
Give me that.
Well, well, well.
Look at your plots against me, Ertuğrul.
Keykavus is heavily wounded.
He's still around Söğüt.
Holy Tengri, who created everything and who put stars above the earth...
who lit it with the sun...
you blessed me with my ancestors' spirits.
I will give you Ertuğrul's blood!
If you have no more orders for me, I'd like to go.
I have many things to do.
Thank you, sir.
You don't deserve the gold yet.
What do you mean, sir?
You will come with me to where I'm going.
But sir...
I said, you will come!
If there's another plot behind this,
I will give your blood to Erlik Khan.
Here you go.
Thank you, wife.
Oh, Allah.
May I come in, children?
Come in, Mother Hayme.
Welcome.
Is this a bad time?
You were about to eat.
Nonsense.
Nonsense, Mother Hayme.
I will bring a spoon for you.
No, thank you.
I am not refusing your food.
But I'm not hungry.
I wish to talk to Bamsı Alp.
All right, mother.
Sit down here.
Go on, sit.
My Bamsı.
You are no different to me...
than Ertuğrul, or my other children.
I remember when you first swung your sword...
first wore your armor...
when you first shot an arrow.
I practically raised you.
We went through many things.
We were roughly tested.
But you never disappointed me, son.
I'm deeply sorry that...
you were dismissed from your post.
Thanks, mother.
I can't ever refuse...
an order you give me.
But... you know a bey's orders well.
It's not right that...
you put down your sword...
after being dismissed.
You should be stronger, son.
I did make a mistake.
But I didn't mean any harm.
Ertuğrul Bey decided so fast.
He dismissed me as if I meant him harm...
when I made my mistake.
Mother.
My mistake wasn't one that could get me dismissed.
We're going through hard times, Bamsı.
Ertuğrul Bey didn't just punish you.
It's a precaution as well.
Maybe he thought you needed to rest a little.
A bey assigns a duty... and takes it away.
A soldier must...
accept both of those.
Mother...
I have never questioned Ertuğrul Bey's decision at any time.
But mother, tell me I'm right.
I've seen countless enemies, hundreds of battles.
I was shot with an arrow and I was stabbed in the back!
But, but, mother...
I was never hurt like this.
I see that...
the word of a friend cuts deeper than the sword of an enemy.
Ertuğrul Bey's words hurt me deeply.
They pierced my chest.
It burned me up.
Don't beat yourself up and make us sad.
I understand you.
You never intentionally make a mistake.
Ertuğrul Bey surely has his reasons.
Everything will be okay.
But...
don't stay angry or heartbroken.
Excuse me.
Enjoy your meals.
-Thank you. -Take care.
Thanks, mother.
Take care.
Thanks, mother.
That's the fabric we got at Söğüt yesterday.
We will have a dress each.
How is Hafsa Hatun?
Is she better now?
Take this fabric to my tent, Mengü.
As you command.
How could she be, sister?
One problem goes away and another appears.
What now?
Did something bad happen?
Worse than bad, Sister. Hafsa Hatun has had enough.
You saw what Selcan Hatun did after Süleyman's funeral.
And now Ertuğrul Bey dismissed Bamsı Alp.
Their troubles are never-ending.
Why would Ertuğrul Bey dismiss Head Alp Bamsı?
Bamsı Alp made a mistake in a battle.
Ertuğrul Bey got angry because of it.
You're hurt. What happened?
I was training the alps.
-It's just a scratch. -I will call the healers.
İlbilge.
Come here, it's okay.
You saw it too.
Hafsa Hatun was depressed.
She's crushed.
She does not know what to do.
We must help those in need, sister.
Hafsa Hatun is a good person.
We must not abandon her.
I know.
I know, but I'm afraid Selcan Hatun will come at me.
But I will do my best to help her.
She's facing the people at the bey's tent.
What can a poor woman do on her own?
Walk!
Five of them.
Five men, huh?
Keykavus must be badly wounded.
I won't let him die.
You will come with us, bell ringer.
Let's see if your information was good.
I swear it on my life, Master Alıncak.
We will see, you cursed hunchback!
We will see.
Be ready.
Don't forget. I want them alive.
Especially Keykavus.
I will make the others speak one by one.
Then I will feed their corpses to the vultures.
Go!
-Attack! -To your weapons!
Protect Sultan Keykavus!
You think you will protect your dethroned Sultan from my sword?
Surrender! Lay down your swords!
Leave Keykavus. Or you will die!
You too!
No need to die for a dethroned sultan!
Take their swords.
Bell ringer!
At last, you were useful.
I caught Keykavus thanks to you.
Stand aside.
Our Khan not only gave you and your dog of a brother a sultanate,
but the life you have.
What did you do? You betrayed our Khan.
Did you think we would give up chasing a traitor like you?
Now I've got you.
Our Khan will flay you...
and stuff you with straw.
He will show you around to the Turkish tribes that trusted you.
But first I will take my revenge on you.
