THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
What are these, my bey?
Preparations for the sacrifice of souls ritual.
Arıkbuka.
You know my name well, Gündoğdu.
Where is Ertuğrul?
Rest assured, he is in the safe hands of Albastı.
Now, it is your turn.
You and Ertuğrul have a lot to tell me.
I know.
I'll get what I want.
If I don't get your head first.
What saves the scorpion from the flame is its own poison.
Even if its salvation is death.
This is poison.
Out.
Günküt, get out.
Out!
Alps.
-Alps. -What is it? Günküt? Gündoğdu Bey?
What happened to Gündoğdu Bey?
Gündoğdu Bey.
Gündoğdu Bey, what happened? Are you all right?
Trap.
It's a trap.
Alps, protect our bey.
Take Gündoğdu.
Kill the rest.
Holy juniper tree.
The sleep that comes before death.
Welcome.
Uncle?
-My bey. -Father.
Ertuğrul.
My bey.
You!
Ertuğrul.
Come on, alps!
God is life!
If you don't beat me...
you won't win, Ertuğrul.
Father!
My brave.
You're all right, thank God.
My bey.
-My bey. -Praise be.
Thank God, my bey.
Praise be.
Brother?
Brother. Thank God.
Thank God you came.
He dispensed poisonous smoke.
But we're okay.
We're okay.
Thank God, we're okay.
Still, we should make haste to the tribe, Brother.
It might show its effect later on.
The bastard ran, my bey.
Thank God we didn't fall into his hands.
Follow his tracks, Abdurrahman.
-Be cautious. -Yes, my bey.
Alps.
Ertuğrul, he knows our secret.
Don't let him get away, no matter what.
He could bring greater trouble upon us.
What he knows is less than what he doesn't, Brother.
And he will do anything to find out.
And we will do whatever it takes so that he only knows what we want.
Good.
Let's get to the tribe.
I need to see my brother Turgut, too. Come on.
Atabey just told us about the matter.
We cannot express how happy we are.
What is it you ask of us?
Tell us, Sırma Hatun.
İlbilge Hatun is deluding herself.
The Umur are not a tribe to tag along behind the Kayı.
By God, that's true.
We harbor the beyhood tradition.
If we were to be pulled along with a rope to any path...
our symbol wouldn't be a ram...
but a sheep.
Then it is time to be as stubborn as a ram.
Until my brother arrives...
we will not allow İlbilge Hatun to rule this tribe.
Beybolat Bey will soon come and sit on his fleece...
and pass judgement on those who colluded with the Kayı.
Brother.
Let this be a lesson to you all.
Anyone who goes against our law...
betrays us...
colludes with our enemies...
and goes after his own ambitions, even if it is my very own brother.
He does not deserve to lead us...
but to lay under our feet.
By burying this traitor...
we will be burying our shame in the eyes of
the other Turk tribes.
Now, everyone hear me
and hear me well.
Whoever
strives to...
sway from the law,
sway from the rules of the Umurs...
should know that
my dark sword will take their lives.
Now, take the deceased to the tent.
Come on!
Traitor.
Welcome my bey, welcome.
Welcome, my bey.
Ertuğrul Bey.
Father.
My Gündoğdu.
My God.
Thank you.
My sons have returned safe and sound.
Thank God.
My brave father.
My bey, welcome.
May God always keep you with us.
Just look at my braves!
Come here.
Just look.
You're most welcome.
Welcome.
My son.
Welcome.
Just look at you.
Welcome.
My Hafsa.
Come here, Hafsa.
Just look at you.
Selcan Hatun...
Welcome.
I avenged us.
What did those cruel men do to you?
They couldn't do anything, Mother.
It all collapsed on them.
I brought you good news.
Tell me, Son, what news?
Let me see Turgut first, Mother.
Then I will tell you everything.
My bey.
Will you just look at my brave?
Just look at my brave.
I was so worried that something had happened to you.
Now that I've seen you alive and well...
nothing can upset me, my bey.
We avenged you.
We got our revenge.
Did we, my bey?
We did, my brave.
We did.
Thank you.
-Turgut. -Thank God.
Thank God, my brother, thank God.
Come. Come, let me help you.
Brave men...
and able women of the Kayı!
The blunt dagger that has been stuck in us for so long...
has finally been broken.
The bastard Albastı whom we knew as Beybolat...
has paid the price of his doings...
with his life.
Great!
The death of our martyrs and the oppressed
has not been in vain.
From now on,
we will have only one response to all our enemies.
A tooth for a tooth...
blood for blood.
-Revenge! -Revenge!
Revenge!
-Revenge! -Revenge!
Revenge!
-Revenge! -Revenge!
Are you all right?
Why did you come out like this?
I was going to come see you first, anyway.
I didn't want you to see me wounded
in bed like this, my bey.
You escaped the hands of the cruel and came back...
I wanted you to see me on my feet.
Besides...
the only thing that kept me going,
despite this heavy wound,
was my will to see you one last time.
My brother.
We undid the torture and trap of that bastard called Arıkbuka.
Thank God, my bey.
Thank God.
However,
this bastard called Arıkbuka
will cause us big trouble still.
Alıncak's blood brother.
He is hellbent on revenge.
He will do all the cruelty he can.
But we too won't be putting our swords back into their sheaths.
With God's help, my bey.
With God's help.
We are always ready.
You just rest now.
You need to get strong and well so that...
we may take the heads of our enemies shoulder to shoulder.
All right, my bey.
Very good, rest now.
What did you do, Abdurrahman? Were you able to find him?
He threw us off his trail.
But the alps are still looking.
We know that they won't leave tracks, Abdurrahman.
Still, keep on looking with more men.
Gather a division of alps.
And reinforce the patrols.
Put guards around the tribes lying in wait.
As you wish, my bey.
My bey.
What is it, Artuk Bey?
Melikşah, you can go.
My bey,
the white-bearded have sent this urgent message.
What does it say?
Very important matters, Artuk Bey.
They want me to make haste.
I will take some alps and go.
Stay by Turgut's side.
As you wish, my bey.
Artuk Bey.
If the enemy's sword spilled our red blood onto the black earth...
it is time to ask for vengeance from the black earth.
Let the souls of my comrades...
fly with fire.
When the black earth drinks our red blood...
when the blue sky absorbs our souls...
when the souls mount mares and head towards Heaven...
when my red Mother Fire with 40 teeth is praised...
the fork horned moose that I sucked milked from...
the Burkan Kaldun mountain with its smoky helm...
Mother Rahan in Heaven...
Erlik Khan in black earth...
Tengri up in the blue sky, ask only one thing of me.
Until the rivers run with blood...
revenge!
-Revenge! -Revenge!
Until the dead of our enemies pile up like mountains...
-revenge! -Revenge!
Until we destroy them...
revenge!
-Revenge! -Revenge!
Cowards.
They buried you here like a beggar with no name...
like an outcast with no lineage, Brother.
A valiant man like you...
an alp like you...
they wouldn't even leave your sword or your cap on your grave.
But don't worry...
I will take revenge...
from those
who did this to you.
You.
What are you doing here?
I brought what the betrayed
might desire.
Revenge.
Now is not the time for empty words.
Say what you have to say or else take your shadow and leave.
Commander Alıncak's blood brother Arıkbuka sent me.
He has a question.
What is it?
"Is Albastı's fair sister...
ready to avenge his brother?"
he asks.
Like never before.
Then wait for word from us.
Arıkbuka will come to see you.
Where?
Selamunaleykum.
Aleykumselam. Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey.
Glad to be here.
From Anatolia to Khorasan,
from Transoxiana,
all the way to Cumania,
all high white-bearded who have heard our call
have come to the holy feast
to discuss the latest situation
in the great war
we are going to wage.
We are in contact with many powerful tribes in Cumania.
Alps are ready and waiting for war with the Mongolians.
And we know who to talk to in the Turk tribes in Anatolia
and the state.
We've specified steep winter quarters
for the tribes to fall back to when the war begins.
It would seem that everything is ready.
Now, the crucial thing...
is for the alliance with Berke Khan to come to a conclusion.
For after this alliance is finalized,
it will be time to
ride horses, draw swords...
and start the insurrection.
I met with Berke Khan's spy Torumtay.
Even though he fell victim to Arıkbuka's trap,
he told me that Berke Khan would send us help for the great war.
The first phase of that help
has arrived in Anatolia, Ertuğrul Bey.
It is on its way
through Byzantium land towards us.
We now need to
take delivery of them intact.
For the Turk tribes
who will enter the great war in Anatolia,
we will be able to procure
horses, weapons,
and all kinds of provisions, thanks to this help.
The delivery location of the gold
was written in a secret document Torumtay had with him.
We have that document.
The Mongols might try to stop the gold.
I will take precautions
and make sure they arrive.
It wasn't good that Arıkbuka saw you with Torumtay.
Arıkbuka will report this to Hülagü.
He will tell him that...
you are in contact with Berke Khan.
He will make you a direct target.
You entered in a hurry, what's wrong?
A secret message has arrived.
From whom?
Berke Khan's marquee.
Open it.
So, Berke Khan is secretly sending gold to Anatolia.
Ertuğrul.
Only you could receive it.
Berke Khan's men are headed towards Söğüt.
They have crates full of gold.
They are going to meet in Tilkikoyan.
Quickly gather your men.
Ertuğrul will not get that gold.
Yes, sir.
And I will follow Ertuğrul.
If he goes to get the gold...
we'll finish him off together.
Quickly send me the messenger.
It's time to send a letter to Hülagü Khan.
That letter...
will be the sword that falls on Ertuğrul's neck.
Ertuğrul.
Go on conspiring with Berke Khan.
We are his eyes that see,
his ears that hear,
even his tongue that he speaks with.
Hülagü Khan will send his army upon us,
not only for me, but to destroy the warm bridges we have formed,
by causing great struggles and to kill the hope
we nurtured with our blood and our lives.
We need to stop Arıkbuka from sending information to Hülagü Khan.
And for that
we have useful information for you, Ertuğrul Bey.
We just received this information.
We learned that a caravansary on the road to Engörü
was the meeting point of Hülagü's spies.
We identified that various information from spies
is gathered here
and then sent to Hülagü Khan.
The information about this devil's den
that we discovered is written in detail on that note.
This is just the information we need.
I will quickly send my alps there.
The information Arıkbuka sends
will never leave this caravansary.
I will not allow it
to reach Hülagü Khan at all costs.
However...
Mongol spies are not only in Anatolia.
Do you suspect something, Ertuğrul Bey?
Hülagü Khan has to this day been informed of all the contact
we have made with Berke Khan.
Recently, they found out that Berke Khan's spy Torumtay came here.
All this points to one thing.
There must be
a Mongol spy close to Berke Khan.
We also have grave suspicions about this matter.
Another very crucial duty falls on you now, Ertuğrul Bey.
Berke Khan's spy Torumtay was killed.
And in our land.
This will no doubt upset Berke Khan.
From now on,
it won't do to discuss this matter over spies or emissaries.
You were the one
who always made contact with Berke Khan.
That's why
it would be most suitable for you to go to Berke Khan in person
both to reveal the Mongolian spy close to him,
and to bring our alliance
to a favorable conclusion.
Many hardships
lie in your path
and await you at your destination, Ertuğrul Bey.
The path and traps of great and holy struggles
are formidable.
And formidable paths
require brave-hearted warriors.
The darker and hazier the path is,
the brighter will be the light of victory that we will shine
after we overcome it.
Many oppressed souls wait for us to shine the light of salvation.
Lighting that lantern
falls on us.
Taking on the most formidable duties on that path
is an honor for us.
