"During the filming process, the
students of KTO Karatay University...

...joined these great actors
as their pupils.

Most of the actors in the madrasa scenes
are college students."

Sultan Alp Arslan's will
was hidden in his grave...

...which was to be found
using two specific maps.

It was for one of the Turkish tribes
in Anatolia to take...

...in case
the Seljuk Empire collapsed.

Resistance: Karatay
The Last Seljuk Hero

Starting with our founder,
Ahmet Yesevi...

...The Ahi Brotherhood
has protected this secret for years.

The ones who hid the map
vanished into thin air.

Our secret has been protected until now
thanks to a blessed lineage.

I am Ahi Evren,
the last guardian of this secret.

I will now tell you the story of
this blessed secret.

Last year, they moved
from Khorasan to Baghdad, my lord.

But they heard that
Noyan was getting close...

...so they now want to take refuge
in our lands.

The craftsmen are given to Ahi Evren.

The women and orphans will be staying
in the refugee shelter...

...with the previous arrivals.

The Ahi Council
approves of the sword you made.

Your master
vouches for your skills and morals.

You are now a master.

From now on, you are a member
of the Ahi Brotherhood.

You will show respect and compassion
to every living being...

...every animal, flower, bug or tree.

You'll not depart from the principles
of our founder Ahmet Yesevi.

When there is peace,
you'll be a master who does his job.

When there is war, you'll be a hero
who is ready to die for his country.

Konya needs more swordsmen.

Noyan is on his way from Khorasan
to invade Konya.

We can't afford to wait, Ahi.

The Ahis and the Sisters are
the most solid walls of this state.

Let us become the wall
against the tyrants.

-In the name of God!
-In the name of God!

After my ancestor Alp Arslan
opened Anatolia's doors...

...those who came after him
have fought for 100 years now.

They stood against the Crusaders.

They didn't have a chance
to sit and relax like this...

...or to build madrasas
and raise students.

It's not easy
to live in these lands...

...let alone advance in science.

What is your command, my lord?

My command is for the scholars,
Isfahani.

Karatay.

Build a madrasa that will be
a beacon for education.

I want it to raise doctors
that will heal the sick...

...and qadis that will help those
who seek justice.

That is my dream.

Noyan poisoned me.
There is no cure.

I entrust our realm to you.

You know what to do
when the Tatars come.

But there is something
you don't know:

We have an infiltrator in their palace.

Tell me, my lord. Who is it?
How can I recognize or find him?

When the Tatars pound on our doors...

...Ahi will tell you.

But neither you will ask about it
nor he will tell you before that.

Karatay...

It is time to reunite.

I will reunite with God,
and you will reunite with your son.

I bear witness that
there is no god but Allah...

6 Years Later

It is almost time, Karatay.

You safeguarded
what was entrusted to you.

What about you, Ahi?

Are you sure about
what was entrusted to you?

I'll show you your son
before the war.

A man called Kupeli
has raised him at Noyan's palace.

He will bring your son to you.

Why did you organize all this?

Ahi Evren!

By the order of Sultan Ghiyath al-Din,
you are under arrest.

Under what charges?

We found out that he was in contact
with a Tatar called Kupeli.

Treason will not go unpunished.

Vizier Ahi Evren is the last person
who would betray his country and nation.

-How dare you!
-Emir...

Give us a moment, Suhrab.

You have a secret to protect, Emir.

If we help your son
remember his past...

...and let him know that
he is your son...

...he will probably side with us.

Your son has a mark on his neck,
shaped like a Tughril falcon.

For now, let me be the sacrifice.

You asked for me, Noyan.

We caught a traitor last night.

Someone from my own house.

Now, I have a question for you.

My sons.

If you caught a traitor talking
to the enemy just before war...

...what would you do?

Borke?

He would be executed
without a trial.

-Olcayto?
-The punishment is death.

What do you think, Kutay?

Being just is harder than
being a murderer, Noyan.

Finding a stone for a building can wait.
Finding a ruler for a state can wait.

But justice can't be delayed,
it should be swift.

Justice...

Prior to becoming a khan, Mete wanted to
test the loyalty of his soldiers.

During a hunting trip...

...he gives an order to his soldiers
to point their arrows...

...at wherever he aims at,
without hesitation.

Mete Tigin points his arrow
at his beloved horse...

...but he notices that
one of the soldiers is not doing so.

So, the arrow that was meant
for his horse...

...is shot at that disobedient soldier.

Time passes...

On a similar hunting trip
that they were on together...

...seeing that his father is no longer
capable of ruling the country...

...Mete points his arrow at his father.

The soldiers are now used to
being obedient...

...so they aim at
Mete's father, the khan.

The traitor...

...is your tutor.

Ready!

It was you
who passed the judgment.

Aim!

Remember your training, boys.

The punishment for
disobeying your ruler is death.

Mercy will get you killed.

I am the justice.
I am the judge.

I am the punishment,
and I am death!

I cut the tail of the snake.

You will find its head.

There are some things you have to do
when you are before our sultan.

Only two of you will go in.

Without your swords.

We take off our swords only when
we walk into our women's rooms.

But if you wish, we can do so
before entering your sultan's tent.

My father Noyan says that
there is no need for war or bloodshed.

The Seljuk sultan will be considered
a governor of our empire.

There will be an annual tax,
and you will obey the ruler.

This is the head of the traitor
you put among us.

I don't know whose head this is,
but you beheaded him for nothing.

We are not afraid of you Easterners.

But you...

You are so scared that you have started
to behead innocent men from your ranks.

Tell your father:

You'll be drowning in your own blood
on the battlefield tomorrow.

Our swords only know
the taste of freedom.

So, we are strangers to subordination.

Our two nations have a lot in common.

Our flag has verses on it.

It features a crescent and
a Tughril falcon.

Your flag features
a crescent, the sun and fire.

We use the ancient teachings of
Mete Khan to command our army.

In the light of all this,
your actions are against our customs.

If our customs are really the same,
you should obey the Easterners.

Our ideals are the same.
The Seljuk sultan has to obey our khan.

Our cultures may be similar,
but our ideals are not, child!

You fight for gold and loot,
we fight for civilization.

Go, tell your khan:

We don't care about
temporary goods and assets.

This country is not here
to fill his pockets.

Your son has a mark on his neck,
shaped like a Tughril falcon.

You killed your own tutor,
yet you talk about customs?

Let your sword talk for you.

I'm ready to step onto that battlefield
alone tomorrow.

Put your best warrior against me.

Do you know how many men he has?

Our army is triple the size of theirs.

We should stay in the hills
without marching onto the plains.

It will be easy to defend that position.

It eliminates the chance of surprise.

My lord,
we should wait for their move first.

Our archers and cavalry will act
according to their plan.

I agree with Alpdogan.
We should stay in the hills for a while.

What do you mean "defend",
Vizier Adil?

Alpdogan, give me 1000 cavalry,
and I'll march on them.

We'll march onto the plains
with 20,000 soldiers.

You'll stand by my side, Suhrab.

If it were your father Kayqubad...

...he would have deployed archers
to the hills, like the gentlemen said.

That would have thinned out
the incoming Tatars.

Then, he would have ordered us
to attack in full force on our horses.

My father Kayqubad died
six years ago, Karatay.

As a vizier, you think
I didn't think of that, Karatay?

You executed Commander Kamyar.

You threw Ahi Evren, the leader of
the Ahis into a dungeon for nothing.

If our sultan makes another mistake
because of you...

...it would be difficult
to restore the order of the state.

If we rely on our numbers
and listen to young commanders...

...we will suffer, my lord.

If you have any doubts
about tomorrow's victory...

...you can take your sketches and go
back to your madrasa and build things.

Or you can obey me and my viziers,
and you'll witness my victory.

The decision is yours.

I am at my sultan's command.

Whether it is peace or war,
I'll be by your side.

Where is my father, Karatay?

Where is he
when we are about to head into war?

Sultan Ghiyath al-Din
ordered his arrest.

For what?

Come here. Sit. Come on.

Years ago,
I fell in love and married a woman.

I had a son.

Isn't it forbidden for emirs
to get married and have children?

Of course, it is.

But the heart wants what it wants.

When they found out,
I paid the price with my son.

They took him away from me.

Just before his death, Sultan Alaeddin
told me that my son is alive...

...and that this secret
was entrusted to Ahi Evren.

You father put one of his dervishes
into the Mongol palace.

He entrusted my son to him.

So, what happens now, Karatay?

What are we going to do?

The warrior that will challenge us
tomorrow must live.

It is time to drink blood.

Tell me, my sons.

If we win...

...what would you wish
from your all-powerful Noyan?

I have no wish for myself, Noyan.

But I want to be your chief guardian
so that I can protect you better.

Kutay?

I'll tell you my wish after we win,
Noyan.

But let me be your champion
in the first fight.

I want your horse, Noyan.

If you want the horse...

...you have to win the battle
and take it back from the enemy.

What is this?

They are telling us that they will win
this battle and take the horse back.

Karatay,
choose our best warrior.

Henna!

Kutay...

It's sad that a skillful champion like
you loses in such a pathetic way.

If his tutor taught him well, he will
never raise his sword against a woman.

They are retreating!

Victory is ours!

It's a trap.
They are not really retreating.

It is an ancient steppe trick,
my lord.

You can't stop me
from achieving my victory, Karatay.

Charge!

Charge!

How dare you!

It's a sin for me to shed your blood...

...but if you are going to run away
like a coward, you are not my sultan.

If you run away,
this army will lose and be disgraced.

Lower your sword.

That is an order!

That horse can get you out of Sivas,
but it can't help you pass As-Sir at.

We looked everywhere.

We couldn't find Kutay, Noyan.

He is the cost of our victory.

May he rest in peace.

I entrust our country to you.

When the Tatars come, if the state
is in trouble, you know what to do.

Now...

Tell me, Yunus Emre.

What will history books say about us?

"The Seljuks were defeated at Kosedag."

What do you think, Edebali?

"The Sultan fled the battlefield."

Sungur?

"They couldn't keep the state alive."

"When the state collapsed in Kosedag,
they dreamt a new dream."

They embarked on a journey
to make that dream reality...

"...and founded a new state."

Do you believe in this dream?

-We hope so.
-We hope so.

Then, listen carefully.

Noyan will want Konya,
but we will fight back.

Konya will not be conquered.
We'll finish building our madrasa.

The Mongols will realize that
we don't intend to leave Konya.

Our army has disbanded, Emir.

Our army might be disbanded,
but Konya belongs to our nation.

If need be, you'll go door to door
and prepare Konya for the resistance.

I didn't kill you on the battlefield.
Let go of me.

Does this look familiar to you?

If you want to kill us, do it now.

But if you are curious about
the secret behind your mark...

...get dressed.

The Mongol Encampment

My adopted son, Olcayto.

From now on,
you are chief guardian.

My son, Borke.

The horse I promised you
is waiting outside right now.

And the hero that gave us this victory.

Isfahani, one of the most cunning
viziers of Anatolian Seljuk State.

You are now the emir of Konya.

You will be the governor
ruling the Seljuks under my command.

Cardinal Bennet
will be your chief advisor.

Will the people obey a governor
when Konya still has a sultan?

If you show them that a governor
of the Mongols precedes the sultan...

...they will.

It will be an honor, my khan.
But...

Who are you afraid of?

Emir Celaleddin Karatay.

He is the mentor of
the Ahis and the Sisters.

He is not the type
that fights fire with fire.

He has the eyes of a wolf,
and he has the stance of a predator.

Karatay doesn't draw his sword
from its sheath...

...he draws it from his heart.

If he resists,
all hell will break loose in Konya.

Why do you think I made you governor?

You will prepare Konya for invasion.

Reduce the scale of farming.

Confiscate every sword.
Shut down the blacksmiths.

Don't let them build their madrasa.

Shut down the quarries.

Let me put it this way. You will
suffocate Konya before we arrive.

You will break
both Karatay's sword and his pen.

As you command.

Where are we going?

To your past.

You mother is buried here.

And you'll be buried here.

It was fate that killed you.

This will be your captivity.

And this mark will be your freedom.

You will grow up with this mark.

If your path
crosses the path of this nation...

...you will eventually return
to these lands.

Put that into the grave.

This sultanate
foresaw our situation today...

...and sent you to the Tatar lands.

It was Sultan Alp Arslan's plan.
The other sultans protected this secret.

And it was Sultan Alaeddin
who made the decision.

I don't understand what you are saying.

What is your name?

Kutay.

Kutay.

You are different from the others,
Kutay.

You can't be cruel like them,
because you are a Seljuk.

Your tutor and our state
has kept you a secret until this day.

Which means...

My tutor died because of you.

No.

Your tutor died so that
our state would live forever.

You and I may die for that cause too.

I serve Noyan's dynasty.

My mother died here!
I don't know what happened to my father.

I have nothing to do with your state.

What do you want from me?

There was a map showing
Sultan Alp Arslan's grave.

When Noyan invaded Khorasan,
he seized that map.

We have one half of it.
Ahi Evren safeguards it.

The other half fell into Noyan's hands
when he invaded Khorasan.

I want you to get me that map.

If I am really the only hope
for your state's survival...

...I feel sorry for you.

Come on.

Welcome, Alpdogan.

Thanks, Emir.

Welcome, Sister Fatma.

Welcome, Vizier.

Sultan Ghiyath al-Din
reached the border, Emir.

The city folks are in panic.

Noyan is getting ready to take Kayseri.

If Kayseri falls,
we practically lose these lands too.

The Sisters in both cities
are ready to fight.

But the fact that there are Ahis
still kept in dungeons saddens us all.

Don't you think
it is time to put an end to that?

Everybody knows that
your husband is innocent, Sister Fatma.

-Sultan Ghiyath al-Din...
-The sultan is gone, Karatay.

Ghiyath al-Din is on the road
like some fugitive.

Sister Fatma.

Sultan Alaeddin had a dream...

...and a secret that
he kept close to his heart.

Today, that dream took a blow.

We need both Ahi Evren and
Ghiyath al-Din to regroup.

Alpdogan!

Get back on the road, bring
Sultan Ghiyath al-Din back to Konya.

Adil, do your duty as a vizier
and watch over the palace.

I'll do everything I can for Ahi.

Hear ye! Hear ye!

The Mongol Dynasty has elected
the new ruler of the Seljuk lands.

From now on, Vizier Isfahani
will be the Mongol governor...

...and rule us from Konya Palace.

-What is wrong?
-The Mongols!

They burnt down the madrasa.
Hurry!

-Don't do it!
-Stop!

-Don't do it!
-Don't!

Aren't you a soldier of Konya?
Why are you standing idle?

Doesn't this madrasa belong to Konya?
Are you mute or something?

Go! Stop them!

-Don't do it!
-Stop! Don't do it!

-Get out of here!
-Don't do it!

Karatay.

Build a madrasa that will be
a beacon for education.

I want it to raise doctors
that will heal the sick...

...and qadis that will help those
who seek justice.

That is my dream.

They attacked my resolve,
Jalal ad-Din Rumi.

My resolve.

Our enemy is ignorant.

All they know is killing and pillaging.

Stay strong.
Don't give them what they want.

They did this
to make you grieve and worry.

Don't lose heart.

You are Karatay, Kayqubad's emir.

He entrusted this country
first to you, then to us.

Resist and we'll stand behind you
like castle walls.

Knowledge is what one should seek,
Isfahani.

And tyranny always comes after you
no matter where you go.

Did you really think that...

...Sultan Alaeddin's dream
was just about putting stones together?

You may have burnt the madrasa down...

...but there will always be students
to stand against tyranny.

It doesn't matter whether we teach them
under a dome or under a tree.

Burning the madrasa down won't help you,
unless you burn us.

-Isn't that Kutay?
-What?

-Kutay!
-Kutay!

Look! Look, who is here!

It's Kutay!

Kutay! Kutay!

Kutay has returned!

Kutay! Kutay!

Kutay! Kutay!

-Kutay has returned!
-Kutay! Kutay!

Greetings, Ahis!

Greetings,
the students of Ahmet Yesevi.

Greetings, the heroes of the steppes,
the words of Dede Korkut.

Greetings, the Emir of Konya!

Emir Karatay has come to visit us.

Welcome.

Thank you, Ahi.
But I am not well at all.

We heard.

It felt like
someone was tearing our heart apart.

The state is no more, Ahi.

It is time to stand together,
to save and raise the young ones...

...who will keep
the resistance alive in the future.

-What is our mission then, Emir?
-Our mission is to resist now.

This is a forest fire, Ahis!

Even if we burn to ashes, we'll resist.

We'll resist, so that life can go on
on the other side of the forest.

We'll resist, so that...

...the Tughril falcons can fly freely
and sing the songs of resurrection.

What are you doing, Emir?

How can you release us
when there is no edict to do so?

There is no state, sultan or edict, Ahi.

Noyan burnt Sivas to the ground.
Konya is next.

Our lives for the nation!
Our heads for the state!

Our lives for the nation!

Enjoy.

Why aren't you eating, Sungur?

How many times do I have to tell you?
My father named me Sungur Alp.

Yet you just say "Sungur".

Well, your father acted too early.

You can't just name your son "Alp",
Sungur.

You can only earn that name
on the battlefield.

And when did you ever give me
the chance to do so, Emir?

Did I ever show cowardice?

Did I turn around and run
when I saw a heretic?

Did you ever take me to a battlefield
so that I can test swords?

Why are we sitting around eating now?

They invaded Konya.
They burnt our madrasa to the ground.

And we just sit here
dreaming about the future.

Sungur.

Konya may be filled with rye fields...

...but don't assume that
only Turkestan can raise soldiers.

Be patient.

What will we do about the madrasa, Emir?

If the quarries are closed,
we'll break the rocks ourselves.

If our architect is imprisoned,
we'll construct the madrasa ourselves.

No matter what they do,
we won't bow down.

Kutay.

We celebrated your soul, but your body
is standing before me. You are alive.

The Seljuk soldiers that imprisoned me
were inexperienced, Noyan.

I escaped.

Tell us where they are.
My soldiers will kill them all.

I already killed them all
before escaping, Noyan.

Well, tell me then.

What wish would you like me to grant
for your victory?

Forgive my impudence, Noyan.

This is the first time I will
ever demand something I truly desire.

What is it?

I'd like to marry your servant Maral.

Insolent...

Noyan, you said it
in front of all of your commanders.

"If we win,
I'll grant any wish you have."

Will you keep your promise?

I keep my promises, Kutay.
But don't forget.

Everything between the sky
and the ground is mine. Always.

Start the wedding ceremony.
Prepare Maral.

Kutay knows a secret that
Noyan must not know about.

Kutay is gone?

You told me that
he was our country's secret soldier.

There are two matters
we need to attend to.

We have to find
the other half of the map. But first...

We can't let Kutay expose the secret.

Find any information you can
about the map and bring it to us.

Come and eat.

Come and eat.

-Brother!
-Brother!

It takes courage to ask for
Noyan's favorite handmaiden.

Three things are worth fighting for,
Borke.

Your country, your mother
and the woman you love.

We are away from our country.
We have never seen our mothers.

So, we only have our lovers.

Kutay, tell me something,
so that I can test your loyalty again.

I heard there is a map, Noyan.

A man named Ahi Evren
is supposed to have one half of it.

They said that
you have the other half.

My half of the map is in the cave
on The Eagle Rock.

They can never find it, Kutay.

I'm grateful to you, my lord.

I was your slave, but you allow me
to marry the man I love.

That's right.

You were my slave.

I love Kutay like my own son.

But he wanted to take
what's mine.

Everything between the sky
and the ground is mine. Always.

Brother.

Brother.

Let's go.

Eat!

Maral?

Maral.

If you dare ask for what is mine,
you have to be ready to pay the price.

I hope you understand
your reality now.

Did you really think that
an orphan can take Maral from me?

Oh, I understand.

You still don't understand.

Seize the traitor!

-What happened?
-It's Kutay! Seize that traitor!

Come on!

-Greetings.
-Greetings.

Come with me.

Those are my students,
and they mean the world to me.

Do you seek revenge?

Is revenge
considered a right in your religion?

If you perform wudu and really
try to understand that book, you'll see:

If someone attacks your country,
your nation or your honor, it is.

I loved a girl.

Noyan gave his blessing
for me to marry her.

But on the wedding night, last night...

...my love died.

Noyan killed her.

I will do anything to destroy him.

If it gets me my revenge,
I am with you.

Killing is easy, son.

Are you ready to let him live?

Drink this.

-What is it?
-It will ease your pain.

It will calm your nerves. Drink.

This is Ahi Evren. The leader
of the Ahi Brotherhood in Konya.

Kutay escaped Noyan's encampment
and has taken refuge with us, Ahi.

You go get some rest.
We'll go to the city.

Then we can leave together.

It was fate that killed you.

This will be your captivity.

And this mark will be your freedom.

What is the price to pay
for this eye, Borke?

It is Kutay's life, father.

Why didn't you take his life then?

I want you to bring me Kutay's head.

But you need to acquire
Ahi Evren's map first.

I'll combine that map with our map...

...and stop Turks
from ever rising again.

Vizier Adil, it would have been nice
to hear what Alpdogan has to say.

Who released those Ahi thugs,
Vizier Adil? Answer me!

Who is responsible for that?

Won't you bow before Governor Isfahani?

Isfahani is a vizier of the Seljuk State
and an emir of our sultan.

We don't want to see him
as a Mongol governor.

From now on,
all emirs will know their place.

-Sultan Ghiyath al-Din...
-Isfahani!

We were viziers too.

Our sultan's law and order
will stay intact...

...as long as the viziers
know their place and their limits.

You can be sure of that.

Then, Suhrab will be
the head of the army from now on.

Cardinal Bennet is a special guest
of Noyan and he is my chief advisor.

He is the second-in-charge
when it comes to state affairs.

If Noyan thinks that
he can take Konya...

...just because we lost 1000 men
in Kosedag, he is wrong!

You have got to stop with this
eternal country nonsense, Karatay.

Wake up.
The Mongols own you now.

These lands belong to the Turks,
Cardinal.

We are not here
to invade these lands.

We are here to go to Rome.

Let the Pope and Noyan know that.

Why are you dressed for death?

You'll cure her.

You'll pour your own soul into her.

You will bring her back.

This country is not abandoned, Kutay.

It is not temporary
like the Mongol dynasty either.

When there is a state,
the Ahis do their jobs.

When there is no state,
their job is to found a new one.

Our female counterpart is
the Sisterhood.

Their leader is my wife.
Sister Fatma.

We have been around
since the reign of Orhun.

The map we mentioned...

...shows all the organizations
that help the founding of a new state.

Alaeddin Kayqubad
entrusted it to me.

There is a similar map.

The Mongols seized it
when they invaded Khorasan.

Sadreddin.
He is a student of mine.

Listen carefully, Kutay.

This country is founded on three bases,
and one of them is Sadreddin.

Karatay is the state.

The Ahis and the Sisters
are the soldiers.

And Sadreddin is our soul.

If this country rises again, it will do
so with the support of these three.

Noyan brought the map along
with the army. I know where it is.

Where?

It is in a cave
protected by elite soldiers.

Thank God.

Ahi Evren will combine this map
with the one he has and read it.

Who are you?

-For the founder!
-For the founder!

Come.

This is the map.

I am the only one who can read it.

We are under attack!

We are under attack!

Stand strong, Ahis!
Show no mercy!

Kutay! My brother...

I am not with you barbarians anymore!

Olcayto!

Show no mercy! He is a traitor!

And we behead traitors!

What did they promise you
to turn you against us?

An honorable life
and a clean death!

Kutay!

Where is the map?

Kutay, all these people
died for that map.

Don't think that I'd tell them
to save my life.

Kutay.

I hope you know where the map is.

Otherwise, these two will die.

I have an offer for you.

I'll spare Olcayto's life
if you spare those two.

You are willing to kill your brother?

Now, I have an offer for you.

Bring me the map,
and I'll spare these two.

Kutay, don't do it.

Go on.

Okay.

Boy!

Don't do it!

Ahi, you are the only one
who can read the map anyway.

I don't play games with someone
who kills his own brother, Ahi.

Here.

Good boy.
You have come to your senses.

Put it on the ground.

Your sword too.

-Take him.
-Keep your promise, you bastard!

You don't even know who your father is
and you call me bastard?

If anyone follows me,
this man will die.

Are you alright?

I'm regretful.

I regret that I have stood by a man...

...who can kill his own brother,
the man who he grew up with...

...without any hesitation.

Now is not the time
to think about that, Olcayto.

Do you know what I dreamt about?

Maral was alive.

Who is Kutay?

You kept saying his name
in your sleep.

He is the man I love.

The man I want to marry.

-What are you thinking about?
-What you are thinking about.

Father.

Great Noyan,
I have good news and bad news for you.

That bastard Kutay
killed my brother Olcayto.

And the good news is...

We captured Ahi Evren
and took the map.

Good.

-Behead him.
-Wait a second, Noyan.

This man is the only person
who can read this map.

Borke!
This is the map which was in our cave!

Ahi Evren will be executed tomorrow.

Welcome, Karatay.

Thank you, Alpdogan. Greetings.

Welcome.

I crossed Sivas, Karatay.

But I realized that
I won't be able to cross As-Sir at.

Do one last thing for your country.

This is an ordinance to give someone
the title of marcher lord.

If you confirm this, you'll be
giving rise to a new resurrection.

The Ahis
are waiting for a tribe to fight for...

...and a new lord
that will protect their freedom.

We aim to found a mighty state.

There is no name here.

Only I and Ahi Evren know
who it will be.

I am leaving your honor
before your feet.

You either lift it up...

...or just leave it there.

This bottle means certain death.

Death.

That document means new life.

The decision is yours.

What is he doing here?

He is just another man who has left
the barbaric Mongols behind.

Borke almost killed him.

-I have to tell you something.
-Okay.

Borke captured my father
and got the map.

I know. I gave it to him.

What?

-They can't do anything to him.
-They will execute him tomorrow!

Turk an...

Are you crying?

Why would I cry, Emir?

I'm about to lose my father.
Why would I cry?

Would I ever cry?

Would the horse-riding, sword-swinging
daughter of Ahi Evren ever cry?

Would Turk an ever cry?

Would Turk an ever fall in love?

Even if she fell in love,
would the man she loves have no scars?

If the man she loved was in love
with the ghost of another woman...

...and that ghost was fading away
right in front of Turkan's eyes...

...would Turk an cry?

Would Karatay cry, Henna?

Would a mighty emir cry?

Years later, he found his son.

He can't tell Kutay
that he is his father.

He can't put his arms around him.
Would Karatay cry?

How should Karatay deal with that?

Who should he share his longing with,
Turk an?

We can't cry, Turk an.

You can't tell Kutay that you love him.

I can't tell him that I'm his father.

We have a cause, a promise that
we made to Kayqubad and the Seljuks.

We can't falter. If we falter,
this nation will falter too.

This is Ahi Evren!

Olcayto.

Olcayto!

Olcayto!

Are you looking for Kutay or me?

Hold! Don't intervene.

What is this?
Did Kutay send you in his stead?

You are alive, huh?

Traitor!

Kutay!

Where are you? Show yourself!

Come on, show yourself!

Are you looking for me?

Olcayto, untie Ahi Evren.

Kutay.

Are you surprised?

Ahi Evren is important to me.

It seems
he is important to you too.

You are still insolent, Noyan!

Let Ahi Evren go,
or your son will die!

Bring her.

I think the negotiations are over.

Kutay! Don't do it, Kutay!
He will kill us both! Don't!

Now...

Get that axe away from my son's throat.

Come on. It's over, Kutay.

Get that axe away from my son's throat!

-Maral?
-Come on. Lower it.

Maral!

My son!

Maral loved you till her last breath.

I was with her.

When I learned that she was your wife,
I couldn't tell you that she was alive.

Why?

An arrow is enough
both for her and for me.

I am the one
who killed the woman you love.

I don't care about
what Emir or Ahi does.

I just follow their teachings.

If my heart interferes with my cause,
this arrow will go through it.

You didn't kill her.

She was already dead.

My son, the throne is yours now.

I came here to leave you a state.

I wanted a state that was founded
by Baycu and continued by Borke.

But I am your soldier now.

To protect your dynasty...

...I'll cut Kutay's head off.

I promise you, my son.

I'll take Konya
before I bid farewell to you.

Noyan is preparing an attack on Konya.
Knock on every door.

Just as I said,
Konya will not fall tonight.

Our madrasa will rise tonight!

God willing.

This is not the day to take dikhr
in the lodge, Sadreddin.

The whole city is up in arms.

Every single heart is beating
for a single dream today.

With the breath of Ahmet Yesevi!

With the breath of Ahmet Yesevi!

With the heart of Dede Korkut!

With the heart of Dede Korkut!

In the name of God!

You will all die!

All of you!

Are you the man called Karatay?

I am not Karatay right now.
I am Celaleddin.

I wanted you to see my face
before you see our wrath.

Do you know what I see on your face?

The triumphant look of a commander
who would never be defeated.

But I will step all over that pride.

Return to your lands at once.

You can't destroy our state.

Konya will not fall.
You won't take it.

Where does that confidence come from?

From my nation.

Won't we attack?

How can we attack?

Don't you see?
The whole city is ready to die.

Ahi.

Thank you, my sons.

Come with me.

We shared a secret, Kutay.
Now, I'll share my secret with you.

Emir Karatay.

He'll send you to the Kayi Tribe.

You will deliver an ordinance
stamped by Sultan Ghiyath al-Din.

You'll deliver these maps too.

But there is something else
you must know before you leave.

Listen.

We give our lives for our cause,
we cut off our loved ones for it.

We get thrown into a well like Joseph.
We get sacrificed like Ishmael.

Don't blame Emir Karatay for this.

And don't blame me.

You were born in Konya in a holy month.

That's why
your father named you Kutay.

What are you saying, Ahi?

Do you know who my father is?

I want you to promise me something.

Your father can't tell you anything
before you complete your mission.

And you can't tell him that you know.

Ahi...

Who is my father?

Your father is...

...Emir Celaleddin Karatay.

Emir.

Kutay. Yes, son?

Emir...

Son?

I'm leaving.

Thank you for everything.

Godspeed, son.

Godspeed.

Emir Celaleddin Karatay
opened the Karatay Madrasa in 1251.

The students raised in this madrasa...

...became the founders
of a 600-year-old empire.

The maps and the ordinance
that Karatay safeguarded...

...was delivered to
Ertugrul of the Kayi Tribe.

"The Karatay Madrasa
kept the Emir's dream alive until 1914."

It was shut down in 1914...

...when all the students
had to leave for the Gallipoli Campaign.

The Konya Chamber of Commerce
founded the Karatay University in 2009...

"...as a continuation of
the Karatay Madrasa."
