THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

Where am I?

How did I get here?

Father.

Osman.

Osman.

Savcı.

God, help us.

My God.

My God.

God, help us.

So, everyone...

Everyone is here, except Savcı.

Savcı isn't here. Osman, where is he?

Where would he be, Master Aktemur?

Probably wandering the mountains looking for herbs and birds.

I hope he doesn't forget where the tribe is

while he is off wandering, one day.

May I come in, Master Aktemur?

Right. Come on in, Savcı, come.

Wow. A hawk.

-A hawk! -A hawk!

-A falcon? -No, a hawk.

-That's a falcon. -No, it's a hawk.

No, this is a sparrowhawk.

What's going on, Savcı? Where did you find it?

I heard its voice while I was walking near the river.

It sounded as if it were in pain.

I held him in my hand and saw its wing was broken.

It was wounded.

I applied some ointments right then and there.

I will heal it,

and I'll protect it, I won't leave it alone.

That'd be nice.

Our prophet said...

"There is no mercy...

for those who don't show mercy."

As he was merciful to all creatures.

Your tenderheartedness reminded me

of a story of our prophet.

What is that, Master Aktemur?

Tell us.

Sure, Osman.

Our beloved prophet...

came across a dog which was feeding its puppies,

while he was on the way, with an army of ten thousand men,

to conquer Mecca.

He changed the route...

of the army of ten thousand men just to avoid disturbing the dogs

and avoid harming them.

He also left two guards...

to watch over the dogs

so that no harm would come to them.

-See. -God.

Changing the route of ten thousand men just to avoid harming some dogs...

is an action...

only our merciful prophet would take.

What compassion.

Our prophet wasn't only merciful to people, dear children.

He was merciful to all creatures.

As he was sent to grace every single being.

Every creature God created is precious.

Every plant, every being, and every animal in nature

are there to be beneficial to humans.

But we also have some responsibilities.

Within this beautiful order,

we should like them,

we should respect them...

and we should protect them as long as we can.

We should like them all and help them all if we have the strength for it.

I am happy to say that you did this, Savcı.

Then, let's pet and feed this beautiful bird

and follow our prophet's way.

Let this bird be the bird of us all .

Sure. Savcı, what do you say?

Sure.

But it'll stay in my tent tonight.

I need to treat it.

I'm the cook at the inn, my lady.

I would have prepared the meal if you had asked.

I don't trust anyone in Ertuğrul Bey's inn.

Don't take it personally.

I'll cook for my father myself.

Do you need anything, my lady?

Bell ringer?

Give me the salt.

As you command.

You said you know everything that happens here, right?

I know everything, my lady.

But I carry it as a weight on my back, I don't reveal anything.

If you give me the information I want...

I can ease the burden on your shoulders.

Gündüz.

Gündüz.

Gündüz Bey.

He is a wild boy, you know.

Just like his father.

He doesn't bow to anybody.

Some even say he doesn't bow to the sultan himself.

We all know what he did to the Mongolian patrol soldiers.

Of course there is more to that.

But...

Gündüz Bey isn't an adult, yet.

He is a novice.

He is sloppy.

But...

Ertuğrul Bey is not like him.

He does whatever he wants...

and covers his tracks very well.

My lady, don't tell anyone that I told you this.

Find out where Gündüz is.

The burden on my shoulders has gotten lighter, thank you.

If you...

bring me more information,

it'll become even lighter.

As you command.

You know where to find me, bell ringer.

That smells amazing.

It turns out I was right to be suspicious.

Unfortunately,

Teokles' medicine was poisoned.

How is this possible, Artuk Bey?

Did you ask if any strangers visited his tent?

His daughters said they never left him alone.

They are all over Söğüt, like sneaky spiders.

I won't go back to the tribe until I find Gündüz, Artuk Bey.

Keep an eye on everyone.

The spiders are among us.

They are somewhere close by.

We won't even blink...

until we find the man called Dragos.

As you command, my bey.

Artuk Bey.

There is something important I need to tell you.

I'm listening, my bey.

The white-bearded council...

they assigned me the ninth place.

May God help you in this endeavor, my bey.

May God let us always have the wise men of the white-bearded.

Amen.

What do you think about the latest events, Mikis?

We were trying to deal with the issue of Mongolian taxes,

and now the murder of the alps.

In spite of all that,

everyone is determined to live under Ertuğrul Bey's authority.

So am I.

We all owe so much to Ertuğrul Bey.

Of course I'm aware the order is changing,

but we'll all get over it together.

He'll probably have some quarrels with his state.

Moreover, the Mongols are furious at him.

Given the circumstances, I doubt Ertuğrul can even help himself.

Don't you see?

Even his own son Gündüz doesn't listen to him.

We all know what he did.

This is just an irony of fate.

We'll all live how we are destined to.

Ertuğrul Bey has made this place prosperous.

Thanks to him, we've lived in peace, happily.

We can't turn our backs on him now.

I am happy to be working with Turks in Söğüt.

And I'll keep working here.

If you keep doing this, you'll take us down with you.

Open your eyes already.

We can't stay on the Turks' ship anymore.

Ertuğrul Bey's ship is taking on water.

Wake up already.

Come to me once you've opened your eyes.

I'll have important things to tell you.

Maybe something to get us all out of this mess.

Do you understand?

Here it is, Father.

First his son, now he put a dagger to my throat himself.

Don't worry, we won't let that happen again.

I cooked you some soup.

Listen to me carefully now, my daughter.

Our sultan complains about Ertuğrul's lack of discipline

and his arrogance.

He wanted me to keep an eye on him.

Is that why you sent me to gather information

before you came here?

Yes.

The sultan will make me the margrave...

when the time is right.

I have no doubt about it.

But the situation is graver than I thought.

These lands will either be our homeland or our graveyard.

Father!

These lands will be the graveyard of those who stabbed us in the back.

I'm so tired.

So tired.

Don't leave my father alone even for a second.

-Wait inside. -As you command, İlbilge Hatun.

What is in there?

Death!

What are you doing here?

I have brought some food.

Guess for whom the bell will toll tonight, Umur Bey?

Hush, it's all right.

Give in to the sweet embrace of death, Umur Bey.

Your death has given me a glimpse of victory.

I'm grateful, Turk.

Let's go.

May I, my bey?

What are you doing here so late, Osman?

Did you forget what happened today?

I am ashamed, Father.

I made a mistake and I deeply regret it.

I'd like to ask for forgiveness and kiss your hand if you'll let me.

Tell İlbilge Hatun that I need to talk to her, Abdurrahman.

As you command, my bey.

Come closer.

You fought like a brave alp today.

You saved your brother.

But remember...

you were the one to put him at risk.

Look, Son.

I know very well how much you desire to be an alp.

But to be a good alp,

first you need to learn how to carry yourself,

and then you need to learn to listen to the words of the bey.

You should listen so that others will listen to you.

A sword is precious if it's not blunt...

a state is precious if it's not temporary,

a mind is precious if it doesn't forget what it knows.

Now...

don't forget what you know,

don't forget what I've said, and don't forget my advice, Osman.

I made a mistake, Father.

Let me kiss your hand.

There is something important I want to tell you, Father.

Go ahead.

While we were in the jungle with my brother Savcı,

the bandits were covering their faces, but I saw something.

What is it?

One of the men had a tattoo on his hand.

It looked like a scythe.

I thought we might find that bastard with the scythe on his hand.

I didn't tell this to anyone else.

Well done.

Well done.

I'll give the instructions to the alps.

Stay sharp.

Watch very closely for anyone going in and out of Söğüt,

and anyone doing business here.

As you command, my bey.

Gündüz, thank God you're back.

I was going to go look for you.

My father, Osman, and Savcı. Where are they? Are they alright?

My father and Osman were fighting with the bandits,

then everything went dark.

-I don't remember anything. -Everyone is okay, don't worry.

-Thank God. -Were you there?

I was.

I was but...

when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a cave.

And my dagger is missing.

How is this possible?

Who would do that?

I'll find out, Çağrı.

I'll find out who they are.

Give me a glass of water and let me catch my breath.

Sure, brother. Take a seat here.

Your father is so angry at you for escaping from the dungeon.

There is something else.

What is it?

Çağrı.

Is it about my father?

I wish it was about Ertuğrul Bey.

Take a seat.

İlbilge Hatun...

she raided the dungeon and wanted to take you with her.

-I'll kill that woman. -Just hold on.

Your father did what was necessary, but...

Irene.

What's wrong with her?

Ertuğrul Bey found out...

about you and Irene, brother.

Talaykut still isn't here.

Let's get something to eat before he arrives.

I go wherever I need to, and I arrive before even my shadow can catch me.

Talaykut.

Who are these people?

I told you to come alone.

They say they were with Black Wolf.

One of them is a Mongolian soldier,

the other is a spy.

-What is your name? -Cebe.

Cebe, huh?

Cebe?

This is Mergen, who betrayed Baycu Noyan.

Did you think I wouldn't recognize you?

A spy, huh?

Both of them are traitors!

What do you want, Ertuğrul Bey?

Firstly, I'd like to know how your father is doing.

After what you did,

and your son's insults, how do you think he is?

Osman, leave us alone.

First of all,

your father's health is important to us.

Let Artuk Bey take care of your father like he took care of Ataç Bey.

There's no need for that.

We can take care of my father.

Is there anything else you want to say?

There is something you should know about Gündüz.

What is it?

Gündüz didn't tell you where he was the day your alps were killed,

but I found out where he was.

Tell me, then. Where was he?

Gündüz was...

-What's wrong, Abdurrahman? -My bey!

Umur Bey!

What about him?

Father!

What happened here?

Father!

My God!

My God!

My God!

Father!

Father!

Oh my dear father! Who did this to you?

Who did this?

Father!

Father! Father, wake up! My God!

Look, I'm here.

Your daughter İlbilge is here, open your eyes!

My sweet father!

My God!

İlbilge Hatun.

Don't lose yourself.

We are all mortal.

Try to hold on.

He took care of us...

both as a father and mother after my mother died.

He was the mountain I leant on.

My mountain has been burnt to ashes.

I will find...

whichever dog...

killed my father and my alps,

and I'll murder him!

I'll make him regret the day he was born.

-Gündüz Alp! -They'll help the Mongols

and create chaos in my father's tribe.

This is your son Gündüz's dagger.

He killed my father.

Murderers! I will kill you!

If my son is the killer...

then I will give you his head with my own hands.

Your son's life is not enough anymore.

We will make all the Kayı, and all of Söğüt suffer!
