RESURRECTION ERTUGRUL

1225 - KAYI TRIBE

-Great God! -Only one God!

-Great God! -Only one God!

-Great God! -Only one God!

-Great God! -Only one God!

Even the iron could not stand reciting of God and gave in.

Wait a bit!

Take a look at this one.

This is magnificent. I pity the enemy whom this will be the Azrael of.

In the hands of a valiant like you...

...let it be the sound of the oppressed, wrath to the tyrants, if God permits.

There’s no sword other than Zulfiqar and no valiant other than His Holiness Ali.

I’m ready to sacrifice myself for God, who gave you to us.

For the love of God, in the name of my forefather Oguz, I’ll gird it with honor.

Bring your hands.

What is the matter? Your tumblers are restless again.

We are going hunting.

They are getting ready.

Are there any animals left to hunt in this famine?

You are right but...

...hunting keeps the Alps fit.

It is better if we find a way to keep the tribe alive as well.

That can only be decided on the headquarters tomorrow.

If we don’t migrate from this highland before winter, we would be doomed.

But if you say that you know a solution, tell us as well.

My brother Gundogdu knows these matters better than me.

If you wish, talk to him.

With Gundogdu?

No, he never breaths a single word about.

Is this what you bought for 40 coins?

This is called a map.

What is it used for?

Look, we are here.

Right at where these mountains are.

This is Aleppo. This is Baghdad.

And this is Damascus.

And this is Konya, where the Sultan’s palace is.

Let go of the palaces of the sultans and khans and...

...tell us where the tribe should migrate to, Gundogdu.

The elders are having a dumb moment. Your father is quiet.

He just sits in his tent like a worrier not a warrior.

Where is this place?

Everyone will learn tomorrow at headquarters.

You found a place, right?

Please tell me, where is it?

Ertugrul!

Ertugrul!

Where are you going?

I am going hunting, brother.

This is not the time to go hunting. We have headquarters tomorrow.

The headquarter is yours and hunt is mine, brother.

Alright. But don’t go too far. Go quickly, come back quickly.

What are you doing with that meat? We are going hunting, did you forget?

We won’t let you starve during a hunt, don’t you worry.

How can you call a valiant as valiant if he starves while he is hunting, Turgut?

-This is just for the road. -It is impossible to relieve your hunger.

Come on, Alps.

Your man is going.

AMANOS MOUNTAINS TEMPLARS CASTLE

Guard duty is your pride!

Guard duty is your honor!

If you betray your pride and honor...

...your death will not come from the enemy, but from me!

You have honored us, Ustad-i Azam.

That honor belongs to us.

-Elanora. -Commander Titus.

I hope your journey was fine.

Is everything alright, Titus?

We are safer than ever, sir.

Your chambers are ready, sir. Would you like to rest before lunch?

Elanora may rest. We have work to do.

-As you wish. -With your permission.

What is the latest development about the prisoners?

I gave that duty to my brother Bisol.

They will submit Numan and his family to Karatoygar.

For the others, I waited for you.

Good.

Where are they taking us, father?

To our palace, son.

We will be free there, right?

Until eternity, son.

Until eternity.

So out fate was to return to Konya like this.

To the palace we were born in and grew up, to be killed by our uncle.

I will not let anything to happen to you or your brother, my daughter.

This way Karatoygar will be dependent on us more than ever.

It is very important for him to win the favor of Sultan Aladdin.

Karatoygar becoming a high officer in the Seljuk court will relieve us.

KARATOYGAR INN

-We did everything as you ordered, sir. -Okay!

Head of guard!

Are the Turkmen tribes paying their taxes?

We can’t control them, sir. They are always on the move.

-Which one is the biggest tribe? -Kayi tribe, sir.

They ran away from the Mongol invasion.

-Who is their leader? -Suleyman Shah.

-How many tents? -2000 tents. But they are well respected.

-Do they pay their taxes? -They do, sir.

Good.

Then, they shall pay their taxes earlier this year.

-But, sir... -You heard what I said.

How will this state remain standing?

Inform all the tribes in the region immediately.

Yes, sir.

Where are those templars?

Halt!

Let us rest a bit here.

Check the surroundings.

We need to weaken the Seljuks before the crusade.

You should put more men in the Seljuk court, Titus.

Please be rest assured that we will possess the whole court.

There is a group in the Papacy, who are reluctant about the crusade.

I am not surprised.

We need to make a plan that will mobilize the whole Europe.

We need to do this.

The Christian world should unite and act for Jerusalem.

For this, we need to provoke the Muslims and make them attack us.

I have some very valuable prisoners.

We can start with them.

Calm down, son.

Yigit.

Commoner...

...you can go to hell.

-Take us to our destination quickly. -So you are very keen to die.

I pity for your beautiful daughter and your small Shahzade.

Don’t shed a tear for us.

If you had accepted to be allies with us, you were to become the Seljuk sultan...

...and everything was going to be fine. -You offered slavery for the Pope.

We offered you peace...

...and a new world order.

We wanted to live side by side.

But...

...the Muslim blood will always be shed.

There is no escape from this.

And we will shed your blood with the Muslim allies we have.

You will not succeed.

We will see.

In the mean time...

...to all your men I had sent to hell...

...give them my regards.

-The area is safe, sir. -Good.

Water the horses.

These too.

-Come on! -Yeah!

Come on!

You two, go and sit somewhere else.

I brought you water. Take it.

Take it.

Come on.

They are not aware.

Key! Take the key.

Come on, my girl.

We are in luck.

The prisoners are running away!

-Quick, run! -Get them!

-Father! -Father!

-Are you alright? -Father!

Quick, take your brother and get out of here.

No!

-Father! -Father!

-Quick! Run away! -No, we cannot leave you in this state.

Take your brother and get the hell out of here!

Come on, father! Get up! Come on!

So you tried to run away! You will pay for this.

Father!

Father!

Have some decency! Dear God! Have some decency!

Great God!

-Father! -Father!

Father, stay with us, please!

Your first victim was a crusader.

-Stay with us. -Be strong, father.

-Quick, bring some oak leaves. -Okay.

If we are successful, all the borders in the region will change.

We should not refrain from using our order’s wealth to save Jerusalem.

We are ready to spend the whole treasury.

For young men, a new Jerusalem campaign would be the shortest road to riches.

They will be enlisting by the thousands to be a member of the crusade army.

The Catalans, the Venetians, the Marseilleans...

...they will be pining for this carnival.

Well...

...what about the spoilt princes of Europe, how will we trust them?

When the Muslims start to fight with each other...

...our job will not be difficult, Titus.

What about the Seljuks, sir?

Anatolia.

They are on the peak of their power with Sultan Aladdin.

When we make the Turks and the grandsons of Saladin Ayyubi fall out on...

...each other we will reach our goal.

Jerusalem will be ours.

Father, please be strong.

We have to go immediately.

You can go.

We can look after ourselves.

It will get dark soon.

The jackals would have already smelled the blood.

-We should go. -Dogan, bring the horses.

It is easy to fend off a crusader brigade. What about this?

Ertugrul is lost now.

-God always helps those who get lost. -He is lost real bad now.

Come on.

-What can you do alone as a woman? -I said we won’t go.

We owe you a life. We will pay our debt one day.

Tell us your name.

Ertugrul from Kayi tribe.

As you wish.

May God be with you. I wish you good luck.

We should go with them.

Is your tribe far?

Even our money for bad days is finished, Brother Afsin.

We can set shop here. If we see that they are not interested, we can go on.

-Peace be upon you. -And peace be upon you. Welcome.

Welcome, Gazanfar Aga.

You bring joy to Kayi tribe.

Kurdoglu, my brother. You always look very healthy, thanks to God.

Would these moorlands keep a man healthy, for us to be healthy, Gazanfer?

No, don’t say that. You look very well.

Where is your caravan?

The caravan is near the black rock.

I came to get permission from Suleyman Shah to set up a stall in the market.

How is business?

We thank God on what he gives.

I wanted to come to Kayi to supply whatever they need before the journey.

Thank you, Gazanfer. I hope you meet your expectations, if God permits.

Thank you.

If Suleyman Shah is available, I would like to meet him.

Tell our Bey that Gazanfer Aga is here.

-How much is this? -He is a mute, sir. Let me help you.

80 coins.

You look familiar to me.

This is my first time in your tribe, sir.

You probably took me for someone else.

Peace be upon you, Suleyman Shah.

And peace be upon you, trader. Welcome.

You bring joy to us. Come and sit.

Suleyman Bey, my eyes are so happy that they had the chance to see you again.

Please accept my presents. I brought them from Constantinople for you.

You did not have to bother.

-Kurdoglu, give these to those in need. -As you wish, Bey.

Well?

Tell us now. What did those eyes see in other parts of the world?

I wish I was deaf and not hear it.

I wish I was blind and not see it, Bey.

What happened?

Sultan Aladdin controlled Konya but...

...he worries that the fugitive Shahzades may give him trouble.

The Latins ransacked Constantinople.

All Orthodox people left the city.

There is no order, no peace...

...and with the famine now, everyone is desperate.

We heard that the leftovers from the crusaders were getting restless.

It is obvious that they are up to something once again.

Well...

...how are the common people?

They will be on the road again to find something to eat.

The rumor is that the Pope is calling for a new crusade to the European princes.

And we Muslims fight against each other.

Sowing discord between us, fueling the disorder as much as possible.

From Anatolia to Basra, everywhere is on fire.

This fire will hit us as well, Bey.

Please don’t say fire, it upsets me, Bey.

I came to seek for permission to sell my goods in your tribe.

-You have our permission. -Thank you.

Karatoygar has come to the region to control the Turkmen tribes.

So difficult times await us.

And this girl is from Venetia. Rosalina, she has noble blood.

A white skin, green eyes. A rare find, commander.

And she is very cheap as well. I am in urgent need of money.

This is a very good opportunity for you and me.

What do you say to this, commander?

They kidnapped her from the Greek Islands.

She screams beauty and freshness.

She is a wild one.

I personally trained her. For a master with good taste.

What about that blond one?

I must say that you have good taste.

I bought her from the crusader discards. They brought her in with a ship.

She is Serbian, she knows how to treat a man.

Enough.

Come here.

You don’t need to be afraid of me.

I am your master now.

You chose the most expensive one, commander. But she is worth it.

-Sir? -What happened?

The crusaders. They were ambushed.

Didn’t you save them?

We were too late.

So you were late.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

-Come on, help them. -Help them.

Akcakoca, we have a wounded man.

-Come on. -Bamsi, take him in.

-What happened? -Nothing to worry about.

-You are alright, yes? -We all are, thank God.

Ertugrul...

...what happened, my brother?

They were attacked, brother. I will tell you later.

-Look after them, Ramazan. -As you wish, Bey.

Who are they, Gundogdu?

I don’t know. He will tell us later. We will find out soon.

Sister, what is happening? Who are they?

We will find out soon. We will see.

The sword hit him right below the rib. Fortunately the oak leaves stopped...

...the bleeding, otherwise we would have lost him.

-Midwife, bring hot water. -At once, Akcakoca.

The leg is bad as well. But we should fix this wound first.

Akcakoca can take it from here. Let us wait at the side.

-We cannot leave our father alone, sister. -Don’t worry.

Your father is in good hands.

Thank you very much. You are God sent.

-We brought trouble to you. -Don’t say that.

You had more breaths to take, more bites to eat.

Where were the crusaders taking you?

I don’t know. They didn’t say.

I guess they were going to sell us in the slave market. My father is a trader.

We were captured in the Mediterranean.

Your father must be a good trader. Having so many crusaders taking you.

Yes.

We were rich.

But we don’t have anything left now.

Well...

...which tribe is this?

You are in Kayi tribe.

I am the son of the tribe Bey, Suleyman Shah.

We owe you three lives.

-Do you want to be freed from slavery? -Yes.

-Then, kill this man. -No!

I will buy and then free you.

Commander, you are furious. First calm down...

Shut your mouth.

Don’t let me kill you as well.

Sir, please spare me for my children.

You are good for nothing.

Do it!

-I can’t. -I said do it!

I’m freeing you!

A slave that can kill someone to be free...

...can kill her master one day as well.

Get ready, we are going!

Bey, dinner is ready. Come to the table.

Dundar, come on, come to the table, son.

I will come as soon as I finish this, mother.

Always be like that, my boy. Finish the job at hand first.

-Selcan? -Yes, mother?

-Bring the molasses, my girl. -Yes, mother.

Where is Gundogdu?

He went to check the shepherds, he will come in a few minutes.

Put another plate on the table. For Sungurtekin.

If he comes back one day, he should know that his place is ready at the table.

Come on then. Why is Gundogdu late?

He will come, mother.

In the name of God.

Well, son? You returned with a big hunt.

Something like that, Bey.

What kind of luck is this, brother? You are like a lightning pulling tree.

You attract all kinds of trouble to yourself.

The innocents were under attack. We did what we could do.

Who are they? Where do they come from?

They were captured by the crusaders. The man is a trader.

The crusaders must be from Antioch Countship.

Knights don’t freely transport captives in the Seljuk territory.

Well?

What I mean is, the Seljuks must know about these prisoners.

There were no Seljuk soldiers with them.

Sooner or later, the kind of trouble you called will be revealed, Ertugrul.

What should have I done, brother? Turn my back and leave?

Both of you stop talking. Host them in a way worthy of our tribe.

We will see what the future holds.

It is over, father. You are saved. You will be healed.

-Do we have permission? -Come in, Bey.

How is he?

It is up to God from now on.

With your permission.

Come in, Aykiz.

Aykiz.

Turgut’s sweetheart.

I wanted to ask whether you need anything or not.

Thank you.

-We have been a big burden on you. -Don’t say that.

Bamsi Beyrek and Dogan are preparing their tent for you, you can stay there tonight.

I...

...should stay with my father.

Rest a bit tonight. You look very tired.

Your father will need you more when he wakes up tomorrow.

Don’t worry, I will stay with your father.

Bey, how did you let the boil get so big?

We carry so many problems on our backs, Hayme.

Will we be afraid of one this small?

If you had crushed its head when it was small, it would have been long gone.

The jackals used to live in the mountains, now they are inside our tribe.

They wait for my slightest mistake to attack.

I hide it so that they don’t know about my weakness.

It is better to bite your lip and sit with pain...

...rather than giving them something to talk about.

At least, you should have told Akcakoca.

I did, woman, I did. He is preparing an ointment to cure me.

We will put in on at night, if God permits.

What happened? Are you thinking about our guests?

I don’t know what kind of a smoky candle this wick has lit.

-Did you wear it? -Yes.

-How is it? -It is beautiful, Aykiz.

Let me see.

Dear God. You look like a queen from a palace, Halime.

You look so beautiful.

What happened? Did I say something wrong?

No. I just found it strange for you to say that.

Wait, let us put the head piece as well.

Turgut Alp got this for me.

Dear God! Why did you give it to me then?

Because I knew that it would suit you. Let me see?

I was right.

When is your wedding?

After we migrate from this moorland, if God permits.

Isn’t it very hard to be the wife of an Alp?

If his heart is beating for me, who cares how hard it is?

The only thing I want is for him to be back safe and sound.

As long as there is no death.

-Shall we braid your hair, if you want? -Alright.

Do you have a man in your life?

After my mother died, the only thing that was in my life was being a mother...

...to my brother Yigit and be a companion to my father.

-Anyway, which man would want... -Are you out of your mind?

Men would fight, they would turn the world upside down for you.

When was the last time you looked at yourself in a mirror?

Wait.

Isn't he the brother of the infidel called Titus?

Yes, sir. Bisol.

Send these bodies to the Templars.

We will be dealing with Titus as well now.

You! You! Come here!

Load this one on a horse.

-Which tribe does this seal belong to? -Kayi tribe, sir.

So they are Kayis.

If they are with Suleyman Shah, our job is very difficult.

Could that shepherd head resist the Seljuk?

-May you have a good morning, Ertugrul. -You too.

I brought you some food.

You did not need to bother, Gokce Baci.

-How is our wounded guest? -Fine. He should be up in a few days.

If God permits. May God give him health and hope he does not bring any trouble.

I will be back in a while and we can go to the weaving area.

Alright, Aykiz.

Is my father better, Ertugrul Bey?

Yes, much better.

You will see when you go in.

His fever has gone down. We can take him to your tent tonight, if God permits.

Did you see the girl?

She already has Ertugrul eating from her hands.

You can only see him in your dreams from now on.

Did you sleep well?

It has been years since I slept so peacefully.

In the forest you said Templars.

Yes.

Who are they?

An order that fights for Jerusalem.

They are very strong and ruthless.

Their only aim is to take revenge on Jerusalem.

If they are so strong, what did they want from you?

-Is this the Seljuk territory? -Yes.

Do you have an issue with the Seljuks, Halime?

Not at all. What issue can the great Seljuks have with us?

Towel.

-What is wrong with you, my girl? -Nothing, father. I didn’t see it.

But you can still say what you want to say, right?

A thing cannot become reality just because you want it very much. I learned this.

From whom?

We were going to get married with Turgut after the migration, we yearned for it.

The winter is knocking at our door and we still don’t know where we will go to.

I understand. You are as impatient as your late mother.

Take a look around you. Can we survive the winter on a mountain this high?

Why do you think we have headquarters? Why do all the neighboring Beys come to...

...our Suleyman Shah’s marquee?

We will sit, we will talk and we will solve this matter, if God permits.

Don’t you worry about it. We should not be late.

My dear sweet girl, Aykiz.

They will be gathering for headquarters, Kurdoglu. Nobody knows what to do.

We will get over this, with God’s help.

Kurdoglu, the mountain is silent, the rivers don’t babble anymore...

...we have no rain. We are stranded in this moorland.

If we don’t move quickly our herds will perish, our babies will die.

Well? What is on your minds?

A horse neighs according to its owner, Kurdoglu. Our warning is to you.

Weigh in on the decisions.

Suleyman Shah is weak. He can’t even ride a horse now.

In other words, Kurdoglu...

...horse belongs to who rides it, sword belongs to who gird it.

Mother?

I came to Akcakoca to get some healing herbs.

He is out. Tell me what you want, I will bring them to you, mother.

No, I will come and pick them up later.

Our guest.

Numan Bey’s daughter. Halime.

Welcome to our tribe, my girl. How is your father, did he recover?

-Yes. -I am glad. May God heal him.

Our tents are always open for you. If you have a problem, do not hesitate...

...come and tell me immediately, alright? -May God bless you, Hayme Hanim.

Not on the ground, not in the air...

...only in the hearts of devoted believers...

...the One that creates, makes all creation one...

...in the name of God, most Merciful and most Graceful.

Between the blue skies and dark ground, let our blood, our clan, our tribe...

...our homes, our sons, our daughters...

...be united, be free, be keen.

In the presence of our most just Bey, may we bless our headquarters.

-Amen. -Amen.

In the 99 names of our Great God, Who creates with only saying “let be”...

...Who fills our hearts with belief. In the name of God.

Thank you.

My beys, my warriors, the leaders of my clans.

Welcome and be blessed.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Thank God that before we set on the road to sell our goods, a trader has come.

I say that we sell our goods to this trader at prime value...

...and save from the travel expenses.

That would be fine if our only problem was the goods.

We don’t have any pastures left to graze our stock.

They cannot drink water, cannot give milk. They are all starving to death.

We need to find a solution immediately.

I also see the despair. We sent messengers to all beys in the region.

We asked for a territory but famine is everywhere.

Moreover, Turkmen tribes running away from the Mongol invasion are everywhere.

What shall we do, shall we draw our swords against our brothers for a pasture?

Is God’s merciful treasure is closed, Bey? We have been camping here for months.

We cannot find a solution. When did Kayis became so desperate?

-Isn’t there anywhere for us to go? -If we cannot find a solution...

...how can we sustain our tribe?

Since when have we forgotten God, the Bringer of Prosperity.

Our souls are kneaded with patience.

Whatever he blesses us with, we should be happy.

We learned what patience is by traveling without a home, Wild Demir.

Our wish is that our descendants don’t wonder about without a home as well...

...don’t tell us what patience is.

When did I ever leave you without clothes or food, for you to worry so much?

Never, Bey. I did not mean like that.

Bey, you never let us go bare or hungry. At the same time we never let you be...

...without soldiers or weapons.

Bey, we say that we should find a new home and migrate from here.

-To where? -Anywhere where our sheep can live.

Let us go back to our forefathers’ lands. They say the Mongols are getting weaker.

Whoever says this is a liar! The Mongol bandits are like hungry wolf packs.

Didn’t anyone think of a solution, Bey?

Aleppo.

I heard that Ameer of Aleppo, El Aziz is gathering an army against the crusaders.

What do you have in mind, my nephew?

I say that, we should send an envoy to Ameer of Aleppo, El Aziz.

He should say, “you give us a home, we shall give you soldiers with weapons.”

This way we can fight with the crusaders to become veterans and at the same time...

...we could have a place we can call home.

Aleppo.

We should act at once, Bey.

Since when do we give a decision before I say the last word?

I am sorry, Bey.

Do you accept Gundogdu’s suggestion, Agas?

-We accept. -Yes.

I find it suitable as well. May it be prosperous, if God permits.

-If God permits. -If God permits.

Who will go as the envoy, Bey?

Ertugrul!

Suleyman Shah, some tactless people in your tribe has put a smear in our honor.

The honor of the Sultan who gave a home to my tribe is my honor, Karatoygar.

What did we do to dishonor Sultan Aladdin and his commander?

This axe came out of the man you killed.

-Did you forget the axe there? -I did.

You ambushed an ambassador regiment and slaughtered their knights.

As if that was not enough, you kidnapped the three prisoners...

...the regiment was taking to the Sultan. Give back those prisoners.

You talk like you don’t know our customs, Karatoygar!

We do not hand over guests who have come to our tribe.

Especially if they are wounded.

I came here as the representative of the Seljuk Sultan.

You have to obey my orders as if they are coming out of the Sultan’s mouth.

Or else, you know what would happen, Suleyman Shah.

We live and die with our customs, Karatoygar!

We know that the Sultan is ruling the state but he would...

...put his forefather Oguz’s customs first, then sit on his throne.

You cannot have a sultan from a man who doesn’t know customs and tradition.

You cannot be a Bey or a man!

And we would not have anything to do with someone who is not a man!

You should know this as a commander of the Great Seljuk.

This was my last word.

You can go now.

We asked you nicely, Suleyman Shah. You have two days.

If you don’t give them, we know how to come and get them.

Don’t oppose the Seljuk.

You know what would happen otherwise.

-What is my father trying to do? -He is too old to know what he is doing.

I told you that it would all be revealed soon. This is only the beginning.

Stay here.

Seljuk Sultan Aladdin Kayqubad’s first assistant.

Commander of Haremzshahs.

Right hand man of the Khalifa, Omar.

Now all the Muslim world shall cry out revenge.

Then it will be the turn of the Papacy.

Bisol!

Who did this?

They ambushed the regiment who was taking the prisoners.

I said who?

Kayis.

But we don’t know who.

Ertugrul!

You caused all this!

Don’t shout at me, brother.

When will you stop being a stubborn brat? You don’t care for anyone.

Not your father, nor your tribe!

What would have you done?

What would have you done? Would you turn away and go?

The Gundogdu I know is not that kind of a man.

The Gundogdu I know would not step on justice or fairness.

Justice. Fairness. What justice? What fairness?

Look at the state of this tribe! It is cracking up!

Hunger is all around us! Winter is coming and we don’t even know where to go!

The animals are starving to death.

Justice. Fairness. Open your eyes!

Open your eyes! Look around you!

Right in the middle of the headquarters!

Look at what you did when matters of life or death were discussed.

How will this tribe stand strong, Ertugrul? How?

Forgive me, father. I could not protect him.

I could not.

I could not.

The world is not left to anyone, let alone us, Aktolgali.

What should a man live for, in this world of lies?

What should he ride to? What should he gird his sword for?

Why should he have a home?

Why do we have states, customs or homes?

The tyrant is going to make the sky fall on us if we don’t give him the guests.

Wouldn’t the sky fall on us if we do?

If we don’t give them, my father will be in trouble.

What should I do, Aktolgali?

For a world where we cannot even command one breath...

...are we going to give up? Are we going to submit to the tyrant?

Won’t our customs fall silent then?

Won’t our fire burn out then?

Right, Aktolgali?

Karatoygar is a big tyrant. He would do everything in his power.

Aleppo was a good thought, Gundogdu. You showed everyone your intelligence...

...as well as the next Bey when the time comes.

We need to get rid of this Karatoygar from our backs.

When my father says “customs” he never backs down.

Ertugrul, look at the problems you created for us.

We need to convince my father. If we convince him, Ertugrul would back down.

You talk like you don’t know your father.

He would not give them even if the sky fell down.

What will we do then?

Your father told me that he will send me to Karatoygar as an envoy.

I will do anything that is required.

Ertugrul Bey.

Do you have time?

What happened? Is there a problem?

No. This is something else.

I am listening.

I heard that Karatoygar came. He wanted us.

-Yes, he did. -Don’t put your tribe in danger for us.

We can take care of ourselves.

My father is getting better. We can leave within two days.

Even if all the world were against us, we would not deliver you to those tyrants.

If you get in a fight with Karatoygar, there would be consequences.

Don’t worry. We Kayis know how to handle all hardships.

What’s up?

I cannot sleep, mother.

Sit down.

What do you dwell on now?

I fell into a fire, mother. I fell right in the middle of it.

I would not mind if I got burnt alone, but I threw the whole tribe into fire.

When you were at the point of falling, did you know that it would come to this?

Whether you would be facing those infidel bandits...

...or that said commander being allies with the crusaders?

Could you have closed your eyes and turned your back to the...

-...cries of that gazelle eyed beauty? -How could I, mother?

You could not. You would not, my son. You could not.

You couldn’t have known that it would come to this when you went hunting...

...that you would be throwing the whole tribe into fire with yourself.

You threw us in.

Yes, you did.

The fire can burn a dough and turn it into ash...

...or it may cook the dough into bread.

It was He who took you to that place you fell.

You don’t have the right to protest His decision, nor does the tribe.

This is a test from the Great God. In this test we can either turn to ash...

...or transform into bread. So don’t listen to those whispers inside you...

...or to the presumptuous people inside the tribe.

Become a soldier of our customs and stand strong behind your father’s decisions.

May God never take you or my father away from leading us.

May God protect you, my son.

Come on, take this water and put it to your father’s side.

I brought you water, father.

Give me some.

I should have been there instead of you.

I will fight until the blood of the ones who did this to you is dried up.

I will fight until the last one of them is in a grave.

You will be revenged, my brother. I promise you.

If God won’t be by my side on this path, I will turn to devils.

I will bring hell upon the Turkmens.

I will be their wrath until the day I die.

I promise you.

Forgive me, father.

That was it, Ilyas Fakih. I didn’t know how to interpret this dream.

But a lump of fire has been burning inside me since last night.

There are two options, Bey.

First one is, hard times await us.

The second is...

...this may be a spiritual order on who will be your successor.

Father?

-Are you fine? Do you have any pain? -Do not worry.

I am awake now. I will be up in no time.

Thank God.

Get well soon.

If you need anything Yigit can inform us.

Ertugrul. Yigit told me everything.

You and the people who raised you are valiant people.

You saved and protected us.

We did what our customs order us to do. There is no debt for that.

The people in these lands have long forgotten their customs.

We must be God’s loved subjects for someone like you to be there for us.

Please don’t say that.

I should go. And you should rest.

Listen to me, Halime. Find us some horses immediately.

Get prepared with your brother. Don’t let anyone get suspicious.

What is happening, father? What will we do?

We are going.

Halime, there is no other way.

If we stay for one more day, we would endanger their lives as well.

I am going to the stable.

Right before the headquarters, where is this coming from, Gundogdu?

I am going to look at the new horse they brought.

And you can start preparing for the Aleppo journey.

I can make everything ready but...

...is it confirmed that you will be going to Aleppo?

Don’t say that.

I was the one who put forth the idea at the headquarters.

It is my right to be the envoy.

-Of course but... -Of course but what?

Why are you worked up so early in the morning, Selcan?

I don’t know whether I should worry about the fact that you will be going or...

...the disappointment you will feel if your father does not choose you.

Of course he will send me. Who else can he send?

Hatun, look, if you are feeling sad that I will be going...

...during the time I go and come back, you can greet me with two lives.

When you are dealing with the horses in the stable and me preparing you...

...provisions for the journey, you'd be waiting for a very long time, Gundogdu.

I can check the horses after the headquarters then.

Bey, do we have permission?

Come in, Hamza, come in.

-What happened? -Bey, Suleyman Shah wants to see you.

In the name of God. In the name of God.

In the name of God.

In the name of God.

I have decided that...

...Ertugrul will go to Aleppo.

Gundogdu.

I have some things to discuss with you.

Stay here.

Ertugrul, you go and prepare yourself.

Tell Ilyas Fakih that he will be coming with you.

Come on!

Come on! Quick!

Faster, Turgut, faster! Come on!

Come on!

-I won! -I won!

Don’t be ridiculous, I won! I passed the line first!

-What are you saying? -I was the first to pass the line!

Ask Aykiz!

Aykiz cannot be the referee. She is your sweetheart.

How can you say this, Bamsi Beyrek? When did I ever lie?

-I told you not to do that! -What would you do if I do?

-Your brain is as big as a walnut. -But I am a hard nut to crack!

Don’t be afraid! Come on then! Come on!

Stop right there! Stop!

What is wrong with Ertugrul?

Suleyman Shah called him to his tent.

-I wonder what the problem is. -He is probably going gazelle hunting.

That gazelle deserved to be hunted.

Get ready. We are going to Aleppo.

Bamsi! We are going to Aleppo, Bamsi!

I was getting fat sitting all day!

Tell Ilyas Fakih as well, he is coming with us.

I brought up the Aleppo idea. I told you that El Aziz needed soldiers.

Why him and not me, father?

Because of this, son.

“I know. I can do. I said.”

When did arrogance grew inside you?

Am I the arrogant one? The whole tribe is starving.

Famine is everywhere. We could not even go on a foray.

Why?

-Because our Bey has a boil problem. -Know your place!

Let it go, father. The whole tribe complains about your old age.

-Brother? -Get your hands off me!

Do you think it is your brother’s right to be the ambassador?

Yes.

Why me and not my brother?

Because he started to worship the flame of power. His soul is captured.

So I put out the flame.

Now, let us talk about the flame within you.

Our guests will stay with the tribe until you come back.

I am telling you this so that you can focus on your mission.

Do not come back empty handed from Aleppo.

The future of Kayi is on your shoulders.

Your failure will mean the calamity of all of us.

For the land El Aziz is going to give us, we shall accept any price.

But not a single Oguz is a sacrificial lamb.

Don’t you ever forget. As much as you need a home near Aleppo...

...Ameer of Aleppo needs Kayi’s Alps.

Do not ever bow your head down. Show them that you are a real Oguz...

...who knows what he wants and is ready to make a just deal.

May God help you.

I shall succeed in my duty even if the cost is my life, father.

I shall be back to make you proud.

What happened?

Gundogdu!

-Gundogdu, stop! Stop! -Leave me alone!

Friends, Alps!

Stop! Please!

Out! Get out!

Aren’t you going to talk?

Ambassador. Ertugrul became the ambassador.

-I told you! -Enough!

Take it! Drink.

Drink this.

This must be Mother Hayme’s doing.

I don’t care less. It does not matter. I know what I am going to do.

No! Please do not act in fury.

Those who act with fury always lose.

Enough, woman! For the love of God, enough!

Finish your business. Be ready with your Alps.

When that tactless brother of yours messes everything up...

...you will get what you deserve. And do not forget.

Angels of death wait for the big day in the Bey’s marquee.

The news got stuck in my throat, Turgut. I cannot swallow it...

...nor can I spit it out.

You talk like this is the first time we will be apart, Aykiz.

When did we ever be together, Turgut?

Is waiting for the road at your father’s tent and waiting for your man...

...in your husband’s tent be the same?

It is not the sorrow of separation that is stuck in my throat...

...it is not being able to come together.

Anytime we talk about getting married, it gets delayed for some reason.

I promise. There will be no delay this time.

I don’t know whether Aleppo will be a success or not but...

...the first wedding in our new land will be ours. I promise you.

The drummers will cry out “Aykiz and Turgut are finally getting married.”

All the girls in the weaving area will say, “the most beautiful girl...

...of the tribe is getting married, from now on it be our turn.”

When you leave Wild Demir’s tent, even the Sultan’s daughters will...

...get jealous of your beauty.

I wanted to say how sorry I am. I do not know the words...

...that can describe this pain. -Only you can understand me, Elanora.

Your father’s killers were Muslims as well.

May you have a good journey, Titus. Be careful.

I will be back, Elanora. See you soon.

You have witnessed a good commander transform into a real Templar knight.

Revenge. That was the only thing lacking in Titus.

If there is no revenge, a hay soldier and a knight are no different.

Bisol’s death became Titus’ miracle.

May God forgive Bisol’s sins.

Looking at the presents, I can say that Suleyman Shah realized the mistake he did.

Our Bey likes the Seljuk, he respects them.

But only I can solve this issue, Karatoygar.

The time limit I have put down expires in the morning, Kurdoglu.

Or else the Seljuk’s wrath will burn the whole Kayi tribe.

-You would burn with us, Karatoygar. -How dare you?

Don’t tell me that the Sultan knows about this.

Your manpower is not enough to take them from Kayi by force.

You need to raise a whole army.

I am aware that you have armies that are strong enough to crush Kayi.

You can do that. But first, the Sultan would have to be informed.

And this would not suit you. It would not suit us either.

I shall come to the point. For you and the tribe to win at the same time...

...you need to hear what I have to say.

If you aim to cooperate...

...tell me. Who did this?

Was it Suleyman Shah?

Suleyman Shah’s son Ertugrul.

Bamsi, Dogan.

The word is out about a journey.

When?

We shall set on the road to Aleppo at the morning prayer.

Are you prepared?

The Alps are always ready for anything.

True. Everything seems easy when you get used to it.

Sometimes it gets harder when you get used to it.

May you have a good journey.

May the sun not burn you.

May you don’t get cold.

May your feet don’t touch a stone. May you go like water...

...return to your tribe like water.

My horse shall fly me to my destination and back to my tribe.

Your father and mother would be happy.

What about you?

Me?

I would be long gone.

You cannot go...

...before I come back.

Your father would not recover fully.

May you have a good journey, Ertugrul Bey.

All of us.

There is something I wonder. Our involuntary guests...

...are they relatives of Sultan Aladdin or something?

-That does not concern you! -True. It does not concern me.

Come to the point. What is on your mind?

If you want to take what you want, I shall have one small condition.

Ertugrul...

...whatever my late wife and Aykiz are...

...Halime and her family are the same for me. Don’t you worry about them.

May God bless you, Wild Demir.

May God bless you instead. Trust makes a man grow.

You trusted me in this tribe, you came to my door, you confided in me...

...that is why, may God bless you. Halime and her family are my responsibility.

You can be rest assured. Come on, may God be with you.

My son. My life.

My dear son...

...may your road and fortune be always open.

The weight of Kayi is on your shoulders...

...never bow your head nor give a promise you cannot keep.

May God give you a clear road.

You may be going and not coming back.

You may come back but not see me.

I will ride tirelessly to see you again.

May you have a clear road, Ertugrul.

While you were being punished for rebelling against your father...

...the little Bey became the ambassador.

I knew you would come.

Welcome.

I don’t care about the prisoners, Karatoygar.

They ran away in your territory.

We did our part.

Give me the name of the person who killed my brother.

You are impatient to become a hangman.

Be careful, don’t let the noose of the hangman get around you neck.

Don’t try to delegate your own inaptitude to me.

The knights you brag about could not deal with a few trifling Alps.

What do you want from me to give his name?

I will give you more than you want.

I will deliver him directly to you.

This is not an issue of business.

Do you understand me? It is an assistance to a friend in pain.

We never let ourselves stay indebted on any help we receive.

Alright.

Who?

Suleyman Shah’ son...

...Ertugrul.

Aykiz...

...can you look at these patterns as well?

I won’t be long.

When are you leaving?

When my father says so.

Do not try to stand strong.

People do not stay in a place where they are not wanted.

If you have some sense of shame, go at once.

It is customary. You cannot say go to a guest.

That is why everyone keeps quiet.

And...

...will you paying your debt to these people like this?

Is this what you deem proper for people who gave you bread, their own tent...

...and dressed your wounds?

-I... -You...

While you try to flirt around, blood will be spilt in the tribe.

Blood. Go your own way.

Halime. Halime!

Selcan!

What did you tell the girl?

What she needed to hear.

Is it your duty to tell her what she needs to hear?

I am thinking about the future of the tribe.

That girl should have heard this long ago.

Such a shame. Daugther of a Bey forgets our customs.

She talks on top of the words of her forefathers.

Come to your senses, Selcan.

Otherwise, you might find yourself under the stones you thought you crushed.

-What happened? -Mind your own business!

Ertugrul has gone on a journey with four Alps.

Eye for an eye. Devine justice.

-Where is he going? -To Aleppo.

I shall take revenge with my own hands.

I can never let you do that, Titus.

Why?

These lands are my jurisdiction.

In my borders, only I can use force.

If it is heard that I made an alliance with the crusaders to spill blood...

...our plan would fail.

This man killed my brother, Karatoygar.

I want you to bring him to me alive.

I shall take his life with my own hands.

Don’t you worry. I will present him to you like a sacrificial ram.

Karatoygar is convinced, Bey.

He wanted us to look after them until they get better.

Did you manage to learn who they are?

The pig’s son did not even utter a single word about it.

If they made the great Seljuks stand up, the issue must be serious.

Our part should be to benefit from this.

You asked for me, Bey.

If you don’t have anything else to say, you must be very tired, go and rest.

Save me from this pest of a boil, Akcakoca.

If God permits, Bey.

My death will be from this.

-Inform me of all developments. -As you wish, Bey.

Everything is ready, father.

I have all the provisions ready, we will be going tonight.

Don’t worry about your wound, I watched Akcakoca very closely to see what he does.

Halime, calm down, my girl.

We will be running away from a place we took refuge, as usual. That is all.

Is that all, father?

Is it only that for you?

I don’t know what goes through your mind but...

...what makes this place different for you?

Is there anything you are not telling me?

I am very tired, father.

I am tired of running away.

Let us start a new life. Go some place where no one will find us.

Let us go beyond deserts and seas but go from here, that is all I want.

Father?

What happened, son? What happened, Yigit?

We have a guest. He wants to come in.

Let him in.

-Peace be upon you. -And peace be upon you.

Please.

Father, look. Wild Demir made a sword for you and my sister.

He is the best ironsmith in the region. He makes the best swords.

Please don’t exaggerate, son. Ours is only a pastime.

-These are yours. -Thank you.

Don't mention it, my girl.

As Ertugrul Bey is not here, I did not want you to be without weapons.

He would feel more comfortable. I would do too.

Anyway, I am at my workshop but my eye is on your tent.

If you need anything, please do not hesitate.

What could happen in a big tribe?

Look, my girl. Ertugrul Bey is like a son to me.

So I would never turn back his request.

This was not called for.

We will go this way.

Tell Ertugrul that horses should rest a bit. They are exhausted.

His mind is with Halime. He wants to return before they go.

If you have the courage, you tell him.

Bey.

Us being exhausted is not an issue but the horses are very tired.

Bey, shall we rest a bit beside the stream?

We can set camp down there. We will set off before sunrise.

-Dogan, light a fire. -As you wish, Bey.

Follow me quietly.

Peace be upon you.

And peace be upon you.

What happened to the gazelle?

We found it like this. It was probably wounded while running away from a hunter.

I think that hunter was me.

If you let this game get away, you must be a bad hunter.

I guess so.

Look at that beautiful face. So you managed to escape from this big valiant.

Well done to you. In the name of God, may you recover soon.

Come on now. Go. Go on.

Where do you come from and where do you go?

We come from nowhere, to go anywhere.

What about you?

We are going to Aleppo.

Then you should always be alert.

Don’t become a hunt for wolves and vultures.

The air here is very hazy. Don’t be lost in the haze.

Will you grant me your name?

Ibn Arabi from Andalusia.

The time has come.

-Horses? -Horses are ready.

I hid the saddles under the hay. We will saddle up and go immediately.

There is no guard at the stable.

-Will you be able to endure it, father? -We have to do this.

May you have a good journey.

May the sun not burn you.

May you don’t get cold.

May your feet don’t touch a stone. May you go like water...

...return to your tribe like water.

Bamsi, is he asleep?

No, he is thinking of Halime Baci.

-Keep your voice down! -Don’t talk to me like that.

Enough! Be quiet!

Go to sleep. Be quiet.

You should relax, Titus.

Before the sunrise, we shall both get what we want.

To look down on the enemy is for the stupid, Karatoygar.

No one can escape from a well planned ambush, Titus.

No one.

I will deal with Wild Demir. You finish the job quietly.

Come on.
