THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
I need to get some important papers from the tent.
When Berke Khan is not present, it is forbidden to enter the tent.
Berke Khan ordered me to fetch them. I wouldn't be here without his approval.
Which documents do you want?
Why would I tell you? Mind your own business.
I said it's important. Stand aside.
Where are those damn papers?
Once Hülagü Khan has these documents,
you, Ertuğrul and...
...the whole Islamic world will be destroyed.
My bey, we followed the tracks here but... they've suddenly disappeared.
Did the earth open up and swallow them?
They're experts at hiding their tracks.
We know this place like the backs of our hands, Ertuğrul Bey.
But it might take a long time to find the tracks again.
Then you must continue to search.
I'll go to Berke Khan's tent with my alps.
We'll collect the important papers he said he had for us,
and if Kıyat's been caught we'll see what he has to say for himself.
Let's go.
Come on, brothers. Come on!
Let's go!
I'm ashamed to look at your face,
and I see you're too ashamed to raise your eyes to mine, Sırma.
It is time you were held to account.
Tell me, why did you do this?
Everything I did, I did for our tribe and for our family, sister.
But--
You did it for the sake of our tribe, did you?
Look at how far you have fallen.
As your sister, I've always supported you.
But all you did was lie to me.
You were supposed to protect me, not stab me in the back.
I didn't want this, sister.
The power I felt being the lady of a bey was intoxicating.
I thought I was smart,
but I was ignorant.
My father was the victim of a plot.
Our brother died in shame.
There's nobody now who will support us,
nobody who will lend us their backs to lean upon.
We were supposed to support each other.
Why did you play all these games, Sırma?
I asked you a question, Sırma!
My stupid head and naïve heart didn't understand the games, sister.
My ambition blinded me.
The fear that tears at my heart
has nothing to do with being exiled
or being executed in front of everyone.
I am disgraced. And I'm afraid you'll never love me again.
I'm in the shallows, you're on the open sea.
I'm on the plains, you're in the mountains.
When young people make mistakes, their elders forgive them.
Kill me if you want.
Torture me if you want.
But I swear that...
if you forgive me one more time,
I'll never bring shame on you again.
Please unlock your heart and open it to me again.
I swear that I won't let you down.
Give me your hand.
Forgive your ignorant and ambitious sister.
Before I punish you
you will punish yourself.
Let it consume you.
Maybe your uncontrollable ambition will finally be curbed.
What happened, Turgut? Tell me.
After Beybolat,
it turns out Sırma Hatun was also a traitor, Mother.
What are you saying, Turgut?
What did she do?
They took the Mongol gold
and used it to bring the Umur beys over to their side.
In essence, Mother, Taşkun Bey tried to rule with Mongol gold.
Traitors rise up like weeds from the ground.
Thankfully we caught the Mongol they were collaborating with.
We punished the Mongol and Taşkun Bey accordingly.
And Sırma?
İlbilge Hatun has imprisoned her.
She'll make her decision later.
İlbilge Hatun knows what she's doing.
Thankfully the treachery was exposed before it led to disaster.
İlbilge Hatun has been through so much.
But she never gave up, even when her own family betrayed her.
May Ertuğrul return soon
so that İlbilge Hatun can finally become a woman of our tent.
A bitter tongue removes a man from his faith,
a sweet tongue brings the snake out of its hole.
You wanted to forgive me after I begged you for mercy.
But I won't forgive you!
You have taken my freedom.
My brother died because of you.
You cooperated with my father's killers.
And now you're marrying one of them.
You have poisoned my life,
and so I'll take yours with this poison.
You will die.
Sırma Hatun has begged you for forgiveness,
and granting it to her would show your greatness.
Sometimes, the best way to tame someone
is to show them compassion.
Indeed, Mengü.
If punishing a criminal is justice,
forgiving them is a virtue.
She is remorseful.
She begged to be forgiven.
I would forgive her if I could, but...
but I need to discuss it with the beys.
Her fate depends on their decision.
-May I come in, İlbilge Hatun? -Enter!
Sırma Hatun wants to see you. She has something important to say.
Let her come.
Sister.
I couldn't tell you before.
But I have something important to tell you.
I'd like to talk to you alone.
You think Temüge is the source of it all.
But it goes all the way to Arıkbuka.
The Umuroğulları aren't the real targets.
It's Ertuğrul Bey.
And you.
Get Kıyat in here right now!
So, you were the maggot gnawing away at us from the inside.
You were the poison corrupting our body.
Now, shouldn't I drain the poison and rip that maggot apart?
Where is Kıyat?
-Kıyat has gone, my Khan. -What do you mean?
Did he vanish into thin air?
He was last seen entering your tent. No one has seen him since.
He was in my tent?
He told us he was acting on your orders, my Khan.
We couldn't say anything.
I didn't order it.
If he was in here without telling me...
Kıyat!
What do they want?
Your life.
You're going to swallow this poison, İlbilge Hatun!
You wanted me to burn. You're going to die burning!
Revenge is more powerful than mercy.
You first, then Ertuğrul.
You will meet each other in the grave.
My lady!
My lady! Sırma Hatun!
She poisoned my lady!
The healers aren't here.
Take her to Artuk Bey at the Kayı village. Come on! Quickly!
Is there a situation, Berke Khan?
There is, Ertuğrul Bey, yes.
The worst of all possible situations.
Did he run away when he found out he had been exposed?
I wish that was all.
He's taken the secret documents I was going to give to you.
What was in those papers, Berke Khan?
My armies.
My treasure.
The names of my spies.
They detailed our preparations for the war against Hülagü.
Information about where and how we would attack.
That information can be gathered again.
But if Hülagü gets his hands on those papers,
everything we have been working towards for years will fall apart.
We must catch them before they manage to escape.
We won't merely be saving some documents,
but the hopes of the oppressed.
We will not allow this war to be over before it even begins.
Gather all soldiers now!
Send scouts first.
Leave no stone unturned.
You will search everywhere!
We are not going to let them get away!
-What is it? -Kıyat is here.
Let him in.
Arıkbuka!
I'm happy to find you alive.
Berke Khan and Ertuğrul know who I am.
Yes, of course they do.
Because you fell into their trap like a fool.
What are you doing? Let me go.
You stayed by Berke Khan's side for years.
And now when we need you most, you allow yourself to be compromised.
Compromised because of your stupidity.
All our plans are ruined because of you.
We have no need for a man like you.
I brought all of Berke Khan's secret papers with me.
Their plans are ruined, Arıkbuka, not ours.
What is this?
Lower that damn dagger and I'll tell you.
Every detail about Berke Khan's army,
his state, his spies and his preparations for war, are in here.
When we give these to Hülagü Khan,
Ertuğrul and Berke Khan's secret plans will be ruined.
Their hands will be tied.
I might have been compromised, but I didn't come here empty-handed.
You've shown that your training wasn't entirely wasted.
We must get away from here and go to Tabriz.
You should know which way we need to go.
Berke Khan and Ertuğrul will already be after us. They'll hold all the roads.
So what should we do?
We will mislead them.
Then set up a great trap.
How?
What is happening?
Who is that?
Those are Umuroğulları alps, Mother.
What is going on?
What are Umuroğulları alps doing here?
İlbilge Hatun!
-İlbilge Hatun! Mother! -İlbilge Hatun!
İlbilge Hatun!
What happened to İlbilge Hatun?
Sırma Hatun poisoned her, Mother Hayme!
There are no healers in our village. We came here.
To the healing tent, at once! Let's go!
-Quickly! -Hurry!
How is she, Artuk Bey?
Not good, Hayme Hatun. Has she vomited?
She hasn't, Artuk Bey. I found this bottle in the tent.
-She threw the powder in her face. -Give me that.
İlçin Hatun, boil some hemlock and winter fern, and be quick about it!
Right away, Artuk Bey.
İlbilge Hatun will live, won't she, Artuk Bey?
The powder is made from wolfsbane.
It's an infamous Mongol poison,
and often proves deadly.
We'll do our best, but the rest is up to Allah.
Search everywhere!
We're not going back without them.
We've seen no sign of any tracks.
He didn't come this way.
The quickest route to the coast is south.
If he wanted to escape quickly, he'd have surely traveled this way.
My soldiers are searching in every direction.
They will find him.
-My Khan. -What's happened?
-Have you found something? -We haven't found Kıyat.
But we saw a few men going east towards the hidden cove.
Who were they? Did you see?
The scouts didn't get a good look. Their faces were covered.
They must be Kıyat's men.
He must be planning to escape using that secret cove.
That's why he sent his men on ahead. To make sure it was safe.
Or the opposite.
It may be a diversion to draw us eastwards.
And they'll go west.
Then we'll go both ways, Ertuğrul Bey.
The secret cove in the east is not far from here.
Take your alps there. I'll go west.
If they have gone west, you should expect a trap there.
Don't worry.
I already have men searching in the west. I'll take them too.
Ride ahead.
When you get to our men in the west tell them to wait.
If either of us catches them, we should send word.
-Let's go! -Come on, alps!
The poison has spread throughout her body.
She's burning up.
Can the poison be expelled, Artuk Bey?
She still hasn't vomited, Hayme Hatun. And the poison is very toxic.
I am concerned it could cause irreversible damage to her lungs.
We need to induce her to vomit.
İlçin Hatun.
My daughter.
-Are her eyes red? -They are, Artuk Bey.
As red as glowing embers.
İlçin Hatun, put castor oil in lukewarm water and bring it to me.
-Hurry up. -Right away, Artuk Bey.
Hayme Hatun, we have to make her vomit. You'll help us.
Of course.
Here it is.
Make her drink it. Quickly, we don't have much time.
In the name of Allah.
Hold on, dear.
Come on, daughter.
Stay with us.
My bey.
They're skulking around like jackals.
They don't look like they're waiting.
My bey, Arıkbuka isn't with them.
No archers either.
It's as we thought.
They predicted we'd come here and are waiting for us.
We won't kill them all.
If the ship isn't coming here we need to find out where we should go.
Attack accordingly.
Bamsı. You know what to do.
-I'll go out. -Very good, my bey.
Come on, brothers.
Where are Kıyat and Arıkbuka planning to escape from?
I don't know!
I asked you where! Are they coming here? Tell me!
Not here!
From the west!
Tell me what they've got set up there.
No traps.
They're just going to run.
Whoever's playing this game hasn't set any traps, huh? I told you to talk!
Berke Khan...
will be killed by the swords he trusts.
What did the dog say, my bey?
They're going to kill Berke Khan, Bamsı.
We have to get to him.
Let's go.
Did you find any sign of Kıyat here?
-We have, my Khan. -Where?
Right in front of you, Berke Khan!
All the soldiers you sent after me
are now just food for the vultures, Berke Khan.
Now it's your turn.
Traitor.
For years you were like a son to me.
I gave you things that were beyond the reach of all others.
Even the devil himself would have remained loyal.
But then, you're worse than the devil.
I'm not the devil,
just faithful to my khan and my duty.
Now you know how powerful we are.
That's worse than death for you, Berke Khan.
You used to put your head under my sword and say you would give your life for me.
You'll keep your word now.
But you won't die at the hands of my enemies.
You'll meet your death by my sword.
Don't be so sure, Berke Khan!
You've probably heard the name Arıkbuka a lot.
If you've heard the name,
you will know that nobody gets away from me.
Evil infidels!
Dogs of tyranny!
As long as we have our swords,
and our heads upon our shoulders,
we have no fear,
only courage.
No slavery, only martyrdom!
You...
who left the faith of his ancestors and became a Muslim!
You declared war on your own kind!
What happens to you
is the punishment the earth and the sky will send you.
The earth and the sky have only one master.
My Lord, Allah, in whom I believe.
If you have a score to settle, He certainly has one to settle too.
Attack!
Death has caught up with you, Berke Khan.
Now we'll see who settles the score.
For Allah!
Ertuğrul.
For Allah!
Ertuğrul.
First, I'm going to take back that which you stole from me.
Then, I'm going to take your treacherous life.
Search him.
You think you'll win by killing us.
But we have thousands of Kıyats and thousands of Arıkbukas.
You'll never defeat Hülagü Khan.
We have enough swords for every traitor and tyrant.
I will personally convey the news Hülagü is expecting.
The only thing he'll learn from us is this:
The truth came, and evil was beaten.
Make her drink it all, İlçin Hatun.
We must clean her lungs.
Of course, Artuk Bey.
How is she now, Artuk Bey?
Is the worst of it over?
We made her drink healing herbs. Her fever has come down.
Her life is no longer in danger.
She has returned to her normal state.
We're now just waiting for her to wake up.
Thank God.
Thank God. Thank God.
Pour some water, İlçin Hatun. I want to wash my hands.
You are a deer, but you're tested like a wolf.
Hold on, my brave, doe-eyed daughter.
Hold on.
Wake up soon. Come on.
The information contained here will be useful during the war.
Since our alliance has been agreed, I think you should keep them.
We have worked hard for this alliance.
Now is the time to harvest the fruits of our labor.
Allah willing, we will save the Islamic world from tyrants.
It is important that we learn the lessons of the past,
so that we may built a better future.
It was greed and the desire for power which brought the Islamic world
to its current corrupted state.
Those flaws which would weaken and harm the Islamic World
were ignored in the pursuit of personal gain.
Mistakes were tolerated.
Allah's justice is the same for everyone.
But thank God we did not turn a blind eye to such corruption,
and that we didn't countenance those mistakes.
And all that time we sought to find our way in the darkness,
Allah never took away his mercy.
Look, I was a Mongol.
I could have been like Hülagü if it had not been for Islam.
Allah protect us.
But look what happened. Thankfully, we have been brought together.
We were not frightened when we were outnumbered.
If we stand up against our own mistakes and the tyranny of evil men,
then, even if it is only a single man facing a multitude,
the glorious Allah will turn that one man into a thousand.
I will carry his banner
from Desht-i Kipchak to the Frankish lands.
The Turks in Anatolia and the west will unite under our banner, God willing.
May Allah bless and protect us.
Amen.
