RESURRECTION ERTUGRUL

THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

My Bey, supper is ready. Please.

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, dear. -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 Sungur Tekin.

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 be here at any moment, mother.

In the name of God.

Well, son? You returned with a big hunt.

Something like that, my 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, the Earldom of the Crusaders, my Bey.

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

So?

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, my Bey.

How is he?

It’s in God’s hands now.

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.

Oh, my Bey, oh! How did you let this carbuncle grow so much?

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 apply it on in the evening, if God permits.

What's wrong? Are you thinking about our guests?

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

-Are you dressed? -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 headpiece 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 the 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, sister Gokce.

-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 it when you go in.

His fever dropped. We can take him to your tent tonight, if God permits.

Did you see the girl?

She is already controlling Ertugrul.

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?

A cult fighting 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 do 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?

When you want something too badly, it doesn’t happen. That’s what I’ve learned.

From whom?

We were going to get married to 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 tent?

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 mountains are silent, the rivers stopped cascading anymore...

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

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

So, what are you suggesting?

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...

...he who grabs the power has the power.

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, mother Hayme.

Neither on the earth nor in the sky...

...a real Muslim has only one in his heart...

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

...in the name of God, the Compassionate and the Merciful.

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.

Bless our headquarters in the presence of our Bey who dispenses justice.

-Amen. -Amen.

Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, “be”, and it is.

In the ninety-nine names of Almighty God who blesses our hearts with faith...

-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 a 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 despair. We sent messengers to all Beys in the region.

We asked for a territory but the drought 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?

Did we run out of God’s mercy, my Bey? We have been camping here for months.

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

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

...how can we sustain our tribe?

When did we forget God’s compassion?

We are molded by patience.

Whatever he blesses us with, we should be happy.

We learned what patience is by traveling without a home, Deli 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, my Bey. I did not mean like that.

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

...without soldiers or weapons.

My 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, my 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, my Bey.

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

I am sorry, my 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, my Bey?

Ertugrul!

Suleyman Shah, some tactless people in your tribe have dishonored us.

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

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

We found this axe on the back 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. Surrender those prisoners back.

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

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 will obey me as you obey our Sultan.

Otherwise, you know the consequences, Suleyman Shah.

We live and die with our customs, Kara Toygar!

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.

I said my final words.

Be gone!

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.

I bear witness that there is no deity other than God...

and I bear witness again that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.

Adjutant general of the Seljuk Sultan Aladdin Kayqubad.

Commander of the Khwarazm Shahs.

Caliphate’s right hand, Omar.

Now the entire Islamic world will be seeking revenge.

Then it will be the turn of the Papacy.

Bisol!

Who did this?

They were ambushed while bringing the prisoners.

I said who?

Kayis.

But we don’t know who.

Ertugrul!

You brought this on us!

Don’t shout at me, brother.

When will you stop doing whatever you want? You don’t care for anyone.

Not your father, nor your tribe!

What would you do?

What would you do? Would you turn away and go?

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

The Gundogdu would look out for justice and mercy.

Justice. Mercy. What justice? What mercy?

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. Mercy. 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?

Why should he ride? Why 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?

Kara Toygar 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.

First, we need to deal with that Kara Toygar trouble.

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

Oh, Ertugrul! Look what you have brought on 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 Kara Toygar 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 Kara Toygar came and asked for 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 the world were against us, we would not deliver you to those tyrants.

If you become enemies with Kara Toygar, that might be a bad end for you.

Don’t worry. We Kayis are ready to fight any hardship that comes our way.

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 the 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 the 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 people who did this to you go extinct.

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

I will avenge you, my brother. I give you my word.

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

I will bring hell upon the Turkmens.

I will be their wrath until the day I die.

I give you my word.

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, my Bey.

The first one is, the hard days are ahead.

The second is...

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