THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

The commander of the Mongol patrol soldiers.

You can't enter Ertuğrul Bey's tent like this.

We can enter wherever we want, however we want.

Who are you to stop me?

Huh?

Are you the bey of this tribe, Ertuğrul?

I am.

Who are you?

What's up with the rough entrance?

Let us sit and eat from your table first.

We share the food on the table anyone with the right attitude.

What do you mean you share?

If there is a table set anywhere, then we have the seat of honor.

You're talking to the commander of the Mongol patrol soldiers.

We are the owners of these lands now.

And you are nobody.

Don't you forget this, Ertuğrul Bey.

It's thanks to us if you are still alive.

That's because we want it this way.

We can banish you to deserts, or to hell if we wish to.

You must be rich to be able to set such a fine table.

However, Hülagü Khan has doubled the taxes.

You won't be able to throw feasts anymore.

Now go away from the table, all of you.

I'll sit and eat with my soldiers.

And we'll sleep in your tent tonight.

Empty your tent at once.

And this beautiful woman will serve us.

Come here.

You came here uninvited and you acted without manners.

In our tribe, if you dare to dishonor any of our guests...

then this is what happens.

Now, there's nothing to eat, and nowhere to sleep for you here.

You'll pay dearly for this, Ertuğrul.

You chopped off my hand.

We'll chop off your head.

Give this impudent his hand so that he can get the hell out.

Oğuz.

You'll pay dearly for this!

You'll pay!

We have stayed strong until today because we are united.

They'll do all they can to make us bend the knee.

They'll attack from all corners.

We won't turn a blind eye to their insolence, impudence.

They want to suppress us by doubling the taxes.

But there is something they don't know.

Our strength doesn't come from gold;

it comes from the solid belief within our hearts.

Now...

remember.

If we fall, the world of Islam falls.

As long as we hang on to our belief and traditions,

we'll keep our chins up and the flag of Islam will stand strong.

Allah!

For sure, my bey.

For sure, my bey.

We'll go to Konya tomorrow,

and talk to Vizier Bahattin about this taxation issue.

Come here.

Where were you?

I delivered the food Ertuğrul Bey gave for the poor Greek families.

It makes me so happy to see you so good-hearted and merciful.

It has been just a couple of months since you came, but people like you.

Is there something I can do for you?

You've already given me a place to stay. I'm thankful.

I'm leaving now. Clean the church and then say your prayers.

And don't forget to pray for Ertuğrul Bey, who protects us from the Mongols.

Of course, Father. I always pray for him.

I always pray for him to be destroyed.

Always.

My bey, İlbilge Hatun is here. She wants to see you.

Let her come, Abdurrahman.

I'll be on my way with my alps at sun rise.

I wanted to see you before I left, Ertuğrul Bey.

My tribe is your tribe, İlbilge Hatun.

You will always be a welcome guest.

You put yourself and your tribe in danger because of me.

Those Mongol bastards will be a problem for you after what has happened.

It is my responsibility to protect the dignity of my guests.

Let aside myself, I'd put the world in danger for that.

That's what our tradition dictates.

If you ever need my help, I will always be here for you.

I would cross the world to help you if I had to.

Thank you, Ertuğrul Bey.

Safe travels, Lady İlbilge.

May Allah protect you.

Now there is this Mongol problem...

as if we didn't have enough to contend with.

Is this what you are thinking, Son?

We've endured so much hardship, Mother...

We'll get through this, too.

The real challenge is...

fatherhood, Mother.

Now I better understand you and my father.

You've taken care...

of your children not just as a father,

but also like a mother.

You sat up with them till morning...

when they got sick.

Without even blinking.

Then the time came...

when you fed them with your own hands.

You helped them get dressed.

Of course, there will be difficulties.

You mustn't let them get to you.

How, Mother?

How?

You know what Gündüz did.

It's as if I've been talking to him in vain all this time.

Osman?

What about Osman?

He has become a handful, a brave young man.

What would I have done if something had happened to him today?

What would I have done?

A margrave who is unable...

to protect his own child in his lands.

How could I bear it?

And Savcı is living in his own world.

How can I...

take good care...

of my children...

while I'm here trying to protect Söğüt and my tribe,

in spite of the helpless Seljuks and the barbarous Mongols, Mother?

Son.

My dearest son.

Just as I always say,

you should get married, Son.

Both this tribe...

and you need a lady.

Now, I'm quite old.

Soon, I won't be enough

for this tribe and for your children.

It's time...

to find a nice lady for you and your children.

Think about what I've said.

You put yourself and your tribe in danger because of me.

Those Mongol bastards will be a problem for you after what has happened.

It is my responsibility to protect the dignity of my guests.

Let aside myself, I'd put the world in danger for that.

That's what our tradition dictates.

Osman?

May Allah accept your prayers, Father.

Amen, Son.

It's not clear what'll happen in Konya, and the Mongols are unpredictable.

Let me go with you.

Son, you are strong and brave, I know, but...

you should stay with the tribe.

Show your bravery staying and protecting the tribe.

The Mongols will be vengeful, Osman.

Don't go hunting by yourself. It may be dangerous.

Osman.

That's an order.

As you order, then, my bey.

I'll stay here and protect the tribe.

Father.

My brother Gündüz didn't come to celebrate. I feel sorry for him.

Gündüz...

knows what he did wrong.

He must first serve his sentence.

Father, you've always been merciful to us. Can't you forgive him again?

Look, Son.

A bey considers tradition and the laws of Allah above all else.

We have the right to forgive those who wrong us.

But we do not have the right to forgive those who wrong Allah Himself.

You'll understand that when you are a bey.

We cannot tolerate what Allah does not tolerate, Son.

Your brother should pay for his mistake first,

and then he'll have an epiphany and ask for forgiveness.

You'll get better, Brother. Hang in there.

Avenge me.

My dear brother, I promise you, as your older brother Ulcay,

that whoever did this to you will suffer an excruciating death.

Idiots! How can a soldier fail to protect his commander?

Send two men to the Kayı tribe to act as watchmen.

You will tell me which way Ertuğrul goes as soon as he leaves the tribe.

And kill these idiots!

Mother.

May Allah protect and help you, Son.

Amen, Mother.

May Allah bless you.

Thank you.

-Farewell, Father. -Thank you, Son.

-Safe travels, Father. -Thank you, Son.

Safe travels.

Thank you, my beautiful girl.

-May Allah protect you, my bey. -Thank you, Artuk Bey.

Safe travels, my bey.

Thank you.

Father.

I'd like to kiss your hand...

and win back your approval before you begin your journey.

Those who don't have Allah's approval...

can't possibly have my approval, Son.

Allah!

My bey, we are ready. Alps are waiting outside the tribe.

Very well, Abdurrahman.

We have gathered enough information about Ertuğrul. We can leave now.

Come on.

The Mongols visited the tribe.

They doubled the taxes.

This is great news.

There is more.

Ertuğrul cut off the hand of the Mongol commander.

Then Ertuğrul is in deep trouble.

The Mongols won't let this slide.

Provoke the merchants in the bazaar while he is busy with the Mongols.

Yes, sir.

It was Ertuğrul's son Osman who tried to save Teokles and his family.

And a woman named İlbilge saved the boy.

She is a member of Çobanoğulları. She is here to purchase some goods.

Teokles and his daughters are in the tribe right now.

We must get rid of Teokles.

Teo, you can go in and out of the tribe to purchase goods.

That's why this task is yours.

How would you like me to do it, sir?

Listen to me carefully.

The goats have gone dry all of a sudden, Savcı.

This has never happened before.

What are the symptoms, Artuk Bey?

Look, Savcı...

their eyes are bloody.

And their saliva is dripping.

And they stopped eating all of a sudden.

This sickness is called enterotoxemia, Artuk Bey.

They always feed in the same area.

They probably got this sickness from the fields they graze upon.

Let's do something about it then, huh?

Let's save them. Come on.

Let's go.

Welcome, my daughter.

Thank you, Father.

Have you brought news of Söğüt and Ertuğrul for me?

Yes. I have the news.

So the bazaar of Söğüt is bigger than we thought.

What about Ertuğrul?

What kind of a person is he?

He is a brave man, Father.

His tribe, other beys, and the Greek are loyal to him.

The Greek in Söğüt chose to live under his rule

rather than living under their own emperor's rule.

He gained their loyalty not by the sword, but with his understanding of justice.

Well...

Things will be easier for us now that he's going to Konya.

He'll find a totally different Söğüt upon his return.

Did the sultan issue the decree?

Yes, my bey. He did.

Ambush!

It's a trap!

Alps!

-Protect our bey! -My bey!

Protect our bey! Hold your lines!

Ertuğrul!

I heard you cut off my brother's hand. He died because of you.

Let me see that bravery of yours now.

I cut off your brother's hand but you didn't seem to get the message.

Now, I'll cut off that witless head of yours.

Then you'll see what bravery is about.

I will avenge my brother.

First, I'll chop off your head and then those of your tribe!

Attack, my soldiers!

-Allah is the greatest! -Allahu akbar!

Allah!

My bey!

-My bey! -My bey!

Brother Turgut!

I told you I would avenge my brother, Ertuğrul.

I'll slay you now, and then I'll slay the rest of your tribe.
