THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
He'll pay for killing my men!
I won't kill you before taking you to my Khan.
Ertuğrul?
These mountains hold both the prey and the hunter, Alıncak.
One second you're the hunter and then you're the prey.
Ertuğrul!
Tell your men, Alıncak!
They must surrender.
After all you're nothing but...
an incompetent commander...
to me and to your Khan.
Kill them all!
But kill me first!
I'd rather die than become a prisoner!
Go on! What are you waiting for? Attack!
Show no mercy, alps!
Kill them all!
This is over now!
One of us will die!
Come on then, you scum.
Come on.
Bamsı.
Tell me, Hafsa.
I told you before.
But you didn't listen.
I have no more patience, Bamsı.
I want to go away from here.
My Hafsa...
Look, I'm a Kayi.
And the Kayi Village is here.
I'm not going anywhere.
Bamsı.
I've been thinking about this.
Don't reject it so fast.
I'm saying we should go.
Hafsa...
where can we go?
We don't know anyone.
Yes we do, Bamsı.
I have family in Nicaea.
They will help us.
Hafsa...
what will I do in Nicaea?
I know nothing but being an alp.
What will I do there?
We'll take care of that later, Bamsı.
We should go first.
We'll find a solution there.
My Hafsa...
Ertuğrul Bey might have...
dismissed me from being chief alp.
But that doesn't mean we have to leave.
All my comrades and brothers are in this village.
I was born in this village, Hafsa.
Listen closely, Hafsa.
And don't forget.
I might not be chief alp.
I might not be an alp.
But I can never
stop being a Kayi, it's written in my heart.
Know this!
We'll be all alone in Nicaea anyway.
I'm not going anywhere, Hafsa.
You love the village...
but we're not welcome here.
Aybars overheard us talking the other night.
He spoke about it to Savcı.
They almost attacked our son.
Selcan Hatun is out to get me anyway.
Now you've been dismissed too.
Bamsı...
it's obvious that we've fallen out of favor.
We're not welcome.
We're just an extra load.
We should go to Nicaea before things get worse.
If not Nicaea, then another village around here.
Are there no villages that would take us?
It's over, Alıncak!
Surrender.
When my blood dries up...
and my flesh rots, only then will I surrender!
Your sword has got rusty, Alıncak.
Come now...
show me the courage you had when you attacked my village.
Kill me!
Kill me! Why are you waiting?
I won't kill you until you talk...
and tell me who Albastı is, Alıncak.
People like you will know that...
the lions won't die just because the jackals want them to die!
The filth of traitors and tyrants...
shall never taint this holy land, won with the blood of the martyrs.
Victory belongs to those who seek justice...
not to those who worship tyranny!
Allahu akbar!
Tell me, who is Albastı?
I'll watch what Albastı does to you from heaven...
and I'll enjoy every moment of it, Ertuğrul.
Protect yourselves, alps!
Protect our bey.
Who are they?
I don't know, my bey.
We're done here.
We'll retreat. Come on!
Go on, alps!
Follow them!
Follow them, alps, follow them!
One more step and I'll take your head.
Turgut, stop.
Tell me, who are you?
Uranos!
My bey, Alıncak is over there.
What if he talks?
What will we do?
Alıncak is dead.
I shot him in the heart.
I saw his dead body with my own eyes.
We have what we came for.
Let them keep his body.
My bey, they're coming.
Go!
We missed them!
We'll go back.
What are you doing here, Dragos?
My partner interrogates me instead of thanking me.
Rest assured, Ertuğrul.
If you're still alive, it's because of us.
Fate protects a man from his death, Dragos.
Tell me why you're here first.
What did I do? For the love of Jesus!
What did I do to deserve this? Don't do this.
Commander Dragos!
Follow him.
Let me know if something goes wrong.
As you command.
Sir, we followed Commander Dragos and the Mongols that took him.
They took him to their secret place.
Then Alıncak and his men took him with them.
-Where to? -Saint Marcos Forest.
The place in the letter. Damn that Mongol barbarian!
So, he's taking Commander Dragos with him.
Beybolat! Beybolat will kill him too.
Prepare the best soldiers.
Commander Dragos is in danger. We'll go at once! Go!
I made a decision for your safety.
Warriors like you who are our partners
are as precious as our own lives, Ertuğrul.
My men followed that poor bell ringer.
It wasn't hard to find this place.
What if Alıncak saw you following them?
Then I would have to kill that Mongol dog.
Then you would have foiled my trap.
Next time you decide to do something like that...
let me know first.
Who were those men who attacked you
and shot you with arrows, Ertuğrul?
Not regular bandits, obviously.
We'll face them again anyway, sooner or later.
Alps!
Take the bell ringer to Söğüt at once and patch him up.
As for you...
Alıncak is dead, as you can see.
So, our trouble is over.
You may go back.
Soldiers!
We return to the castle.
That damn Mongol is where he belongs now.
My bey, I didn't believe a single word of that infidel.
He already dug his own grave by coming here, Turgut.
Alıncak is still alive.
We won't let him die.
We'll take him to our secret spot. Come on.
Carry him.
Melikşah.
He'll tell me the real name of that dog Albastı before he dies, Turgut.
Mother.
Tell me, son.
Aybars, do you have something to say?
Will we leave this place, Mother?
Why do you say that, son?
We know you don't want to stay here, Mother.
We don't want to stay here if you don't.
Aybars is right, mother.
I see that you never leave the tent.
My dear children.
Come, my dear.
You're worried about your mother.
Your father doesn't want to go to Nicaea.
He doesn't know what he'll do there.
He doesn't want to go to another village since he's a Kayi.
I don't know what to say.
Let's go to Konya, Mother.
What will we do there, son?
We don't know anyone.
We have nobody there.
Konya is a great city, Mother.
Father will easily find a job there.
And I want to be a man of science.
I want to learn and study at Great Madrasahs.
Good idea, son.
But I don't know what he'll say to that.
I was waiting for you outside to go hunting, Aybars.
Are you still not ready?
Look, many birds and deer await us.
Come on. I'll go now, you can follow me.
Come on.
-Come. -I'm coming.
Thank you.
God bless you.
I should go now.
Hold on, bell ringer.
We just patched you up. You should rest.
My wound isn't so bad.
I'll rest on my own.
Ertuğrul Bey left you in our care.
I'll be back when Ertuğrul Bey comes anyway.
You did what you needed to do.
I have work at the church. Who will ring the bell?
All right, bell ringer.
Since you're fine, do your job but stay in sight.
Thank you.
Did you check your bow and arrows, son?
Everything is ready.
I'm proud of you.
A man's sword should be ready at all times.
An alp must be ready and trained.
Trained, Aybars.
I'm proud of you, son.
Come, come now.
Chief alp Bamsı.
They called me for training.
But they didn't tell me where. Do you know where?
I'm no longer chief alp, nor an alp.
I don't know.
Go ask at the alps' tent.
They'll tell you.
And don't salute me like I'm the chief alp.
Salute me as you would...
regular people.
Go on, brother. Safe travels.
Come on, son.
Come on.
My bey, Turgut Bey secured the perimeter with his alps.
Dragos might want to follow us.
They must not know that we brought Alıncak here.
I'd never have thought we'd try to keep this scum alive, my bey.
We have to, Abdurrahman.
We need him alive to find out what we want to know.
Ertuğrul?
Have we both died and gone to heaven?
Not yet, Alıncak.
You won't die so fast.
What will you do to me?
I'll take out the arrowhead from inside you.
I won't let you heal me.
I'd rather go to hell than be in your hands.
Stab me! Kill me!
Kill me so my soul can rise into the sky, covered in blood.
Go on!
Hold his hands!
You won't die. You'll tell me everything.
There's no escape for you, Alıncak.
You won't die before you speak.
I'll make you tell me everything.
You're even scared of killing.
I won't give you peace as long as I'm alive.
Kill me, come on!
Don't ask for death so fast.
I'll make you wish you were dead, Alıncak.
But first, I'll make you sing like a bird.
Bring the dagger.
Patch his wound.
I'll deal with him when he's awake.
Come on, son, the birds await us.
Calm down.
Listen to them.
Go swiftly like the wind between the trees.
Go on, son.
Don't rush.
Don't rush, Aybars.
Hold your breath...
and aim.
That's how it's done, son.
Now open your eyes.
He's stopped, hit him. Go.
In the name of Allah.
This is futile, Father.
You see, I can't even shoot a bird.
I won't be an alp.
Be patient, son.
This requires patience. Don't give up just yet.
I have no more patience, Father.
I'm already sad for Mother.
I don't want to stay at the village or go to Söğüt.
What's wrong with your mother?
Don't you see, Father?
She's melting away every day.
You don't see, but I know everything.
My mother asked to go to Nicaea, you said no.
She asked about another village, you refused, saying you're a Kayi.
There's no peace for us here, Father.
Let's go to Konya.
What will we do at Konya, son?
You know I'll never be an alp, Father.
I wish to go to Konya, study there...
and become a man of science.
Look at us, Father.
My mother, sister, me, we don't want to stay here.
Son...
do you think migrating is that easy?
Konya isn't like the old days.
There's no order or law there.
Aybars, my son.
You know that our fate is at Söğüt.
It's at Söğüt, son.
My Bey, that fake Dragos came just in time.
He said he was following Alıncak.
But how did they do it?
As if they sensed something would go wrong.
They didn't follow Alıncak.
If they had, they wouldn't be late.
I had given the letter
to the bell ringer, to be taken to Alıncak directly.
But obviously, he took it to the castle first.
And they found out where we would ambush Alıncak.
They told our attackers where we would be.
Why would they betray us like that, my bey?
While we killed Alıncak...
they would have killed us, Abdurrahman.
They would have gotten rid of us all.
That's why they did it.
But they had to come when the situation changed.
What is the situation, my Bey?
There was someone very important to them there, Dumrul.
They came to save him.
The bell ringer.
He's more important than we thought.
We must find out who he is.
What about the ones that attacked us? Who did they sell us out to?
Albastı.
He's allied to the castle without exposing himself.
They wanted to get rid of both Alıncak and us.
They shot Alıncak first so that he wouldn't speak...
and expose him.
They thought he was dead, and retreated.
Now everyone will think that Alıncak is dead.
We'll use him when the time comes...
and capture Albastı.
My bey, when you called the bell ringer...
to the village, he was in your chambers.
He said he was cleaning but he was reading something.
I was suspicious.
Then, we'll give him what he wants, Dumrul.
So, you woke up.
Your condition must have made you thirsty.
Drink it.
Drink, wet your tongue.
You have a lot to tell us.
Sir.
Sir, are you all right?
Honor, virtue, heroism...
You have proved once again that you have what it takes
to be a knight, Uranos.
God bless you, sir.
We moved at once when we learned where Alıncak was taking you.
Otherwise Beybolat would kill you.
You did the right thing. At the right time.
Ertuğrul...
what if he's suspicious because I was there?
That makes me think, sir.
You spoke very well, Uranos.
You saved Ertuğrul and his alps from death.
But still, we can't trust him too much.
He's like a tiger.
Even when he's calm, he's thinking about how to eat his prey.
What will we do then, sir?
If he's a tiger
we'll be sly like a fox.
I'll try to understand what Ertuğrul is thinking once he's at Söğüt.
We'll act accordingly.
-And Beybolat? -Sure, he'll be suspicious.
I'm sure he's aching to get revenge.
You'll play that ambitious Turk's heart.
You know what to say when he comes to the castle in anger.
If he's convinced that Alıncak is dead, our job will be easier.
You must learn another thing from him.
What is that, sir?
Albastı.
