THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

Such an honest, brave man...

you were, Father.

You always stood beside us.

Now that you are gone, everything has all fallen apart.

How am I to get used to your absence?

I'll make sure that whoever did this to you...

pays with their dear lives.

It's now my duty...

to find Gündüz and make him pay.

You are the only man that Gündüz trusts, Çağrı.

So you'd better start telling me everything you know.

I last saw him when we were locked up, Commander Bamsı.

I haven't seen him since.

Umur Bey was stabbed to death by Gündüz.

The man you consider your brother is accused of murder, can't you see?

We've to find him as soon as we can so that he may clear his name.

Should you know anything

and think you are helping him by not telling us,

you are being gravely wrong, Çağrı.

This trap was not laid down

just for Gündüz, but for all of us.

It set all of us up.

So, if you actually want to help that so-called brother of yours,

you'd better tell me what you know.

I'll handle this alone.

I'll clear both my name and my father's name, it's the only way.

Now, are you going to help me,

or not?

You have my word. I'll never let you down.

No, sir.

I don't know anything.

Okay.

Fine.

Then...

you may go. You are to contact me as soon as you find out anything.

Are we clear, Çağrı?

Yes, sir.

Dumrul.

You shall watch every step Çağrı takes.

Yes, sir.

Go now, brother.

Come on, Çağrı.

Come on, where are you?

Why is this shop closed? Don't they know that we are searching everywhere?

This shop has been closed for a long time, no need to search here.

Let's go, we have work to do.

Thank God.

Come on, Çağrı.

Come on already.

I can't stay here anymore.

Baycu Noyan died because of you.

Who do you work for? Speak, you traitor!

Why did you betray Baycu Noyan?

Baycu Noyan was overcome by greed.

He was a greedy scoundrel.

So, I told Sultan Hülagü everything I knew.

Because I did that,

you are now free of that troublesome man.

You'll tell me who it is you are serving.

I found God's way.

Ya Allah!

Praise be to God.

I serve no one...

but God and God alone.

You converted to Islam, then?

I'll make you bleed, like I made all the Muslims in Anatolia bleed.

You traitor!

Enough!

He told you all that he knew.

What else do you want?

Unless you dogs tell me who your master is,

I'll drown you in your own blood!

We serve no masters.

Bring it on!

Either you talk or you die!

Ertuğrul Bey!

What of my soldiers?

Are you going to kill them, too?

What soldiers, İlbilge Hatun?

Do you mean the ones who ambushed and tried to kill my margraves?

Today is a day of sorrow for you and your men alike.

I share your pain.

I feel your sorrow.

We've all been set up in this mess.

Just as I sympathize with you,

I shall show lenience to the actions you take rashly.

I've assigned this inn to you and your men.

You may grieve and accept condolences here.

There's something else you need to know, İlbilge Hatun.

The day your men were killed, Gündüz couldn't tell me where he was.

But I found out where he was that day.

He was with Tekfur Yannis's daughter, Irene.

The day your men were killed, he was meeting her.

Why didn't he say so?

Because he was afraid of what we might say about their relationship,

he hesitated to tell us and kept us in the dark.

I can let you see Irene whenever you want.

She'll tell you the truth.

Do you expect me to trust your son after all this pain?

Many of our men died here.

We can't find the culprit.

Do you expect me...

to find comfort in your words when I'm in so much pain?

If you still have doubts,

I'm ready to lay down my life for you, İlbilge Hatun.

The life of the man you accuse of murder, my son, is in danger.

Do you know...

how hard that is for a father?

If you don't trust me, kill me.

Kill me! What are you waiting for?

Father.

Father!

I want justice, Ertuğrul Bey.

I want to find out who killed my father and my men.

I have an obligation to my people.

What do I tell them? What do I do?

We'll find the culprit together, İlbilge Hatun.

We'll make sure justice is served, together.

If you're carrying the responsibility of your people on your shoulders,

don't be overcome with pain and anger.

Act wisely and with faith.

Come now, İlbilge Hatun.

Come on.

I shall put my trust in you, Ertuğrul Bey.

But do not let me down.

It's a sin to lie and take life, my son.

A grave sin.

May God help us refrain from ever taking a life.

Go now.

And never forget my words.

What happened?

They called in Çağrı to ask about Gündüz. Çağrı found out what happened at the inn.

You stay in front of the shop.

Ertuğrul Bey could have Çağrı followed.

Prevent Ertuğrul's men from ever finding Gündüz.

It has to be İlbilge that finds him. I'll tell her Gündüz's whereabouts myself.

But first, we've to make sure Ertuğrul is out of Söğüt.

Why is this man called Teokles so important?

It so happens that Dragos is going to stage a coup to take Söğüt back.

Teokles is the spy sending word to the Tekfur.

We received the news from Hülagü Han's spies in Constantinople.

Will you head for Söğüt?

We will. I need to find out what happened before things go awry in Söğüt.

But first, we need to make these two talk and get rid of them.

İlbilge Hatun, our men are distressed.

I'm having a hard time controlling them.

They can't accept what happened.

They want your orders.

I shall talk to my men myself.

Tell them to settle down.

Ertuğrul Bey is investigating.

Make sure no one gets in the way.

Are we going to leave it all to Ertuğrul Bey?

His son is a murderer, and he is the one investigating?

We have no other choice but to trust him.

We'll be investigating, too.

-But İlbilge Hatun... -Ataç Bey!

Do as I say.

That's an order.

-Thank you. -Is this enough?

Çağrı.

Did you hear what happened at the inn?

They killed Umur Bey there.

Are you sure, Çağrı?

How could they kill him? Who would do it?

He was stabbed with your knife. They're looking for you everywhere.

God damn it. He's going to find Gündüz.

Those that captured me and took me to the cave stole my knife

and are now trying to pin the blame on me.

I had to lie to Commander Bamsı.

Surrender to your father before this gets out of hand.

He knows that you're innocent.

No, Çağrı, I can't do it.

Don't you get it? The Seljuks will get involved as well.

They will demand my head.

If I were to surrender now,

my father would surely lock me up until the fog clears.

But I can't just sit and do nothing, Çağrı.

Yiğit Alp, what happened at the inn?

Who did it?

We'll work it all out. Let me pass.

People are worried sick.

What will you do, man?

I'll be the one to find out who killed İlbilge Hatun's father.

There is no other way to clear both my name and my father's name.

I've to hide until this matter is cleared.

But I've to get out of here first. Help me, Çağrı.

I'm in a hurry, let me pass.

Ertuğrul Bey kept this place peaceful for years.

People are scared of the peace coming to an end.

It is us that kept the peace here until this day.

And we intend to keep the peace. Now, let me pass.

Gündüz, Dumrul Alp is on his way here.

They found us.

God damn it!

Shit.

What's wrong, Dumrul Alp?

You scared me there.

-Is there anyone here, Çağrı? -Well, I'm here.

And all this leather.

I have loads of work.

What happened here?

Dumrul Alp!

What are you looking for? Let me help.

I'm looking for Gündüz.

Why would Gündüz be here?

I told Commander Bamsı as well. I don't know where he is.

But I'll send word when I do.

Get out of my way, Çağrı.

Osman?

-How did you... -I followed brother Çağrı in secret.

I was waiting behind the shop, and followed you when you got out.

Osman.

It wasn't me who killed Umur Bey and his men.

I can't be locked up until I clear my name.

Don't you tell anyone that you saw me.

I followed you to save you, not spy on you, brother.

Come, let me take you to Father.

He knows that you are innocent.

No.

He'll throw me in a cage until everything clears out.

But I can't just sit and do nothing.

Since they used me to set this trap,

I'm obliged to handle it.

Then I'll come, too.

They're looking for you, I can't leave you.

Don't be stupid, Osman.

I don't know where and how I'm going to hide.

I can't risk your life as well.

Do you remember what you told me?

"Us three brothers, the three of us are but one.

We are all doomed should something happen to one of us.

If there is an evil, we fight together.

And die together, if we must."

Did you forget?

I can't leave you alone.

I got a horse ready for you. Let's go.

It's the soldiers.

What's up, guys?

Just so you know,

my father gathers everyone hourly.

Go fast.

Way to go, Osman.

Come on.

Prepare yourself, Mergen.

Nöker.

Nöker.

Come, this man wants to talk.

Speak up.

What did you say?

Mergen!

Find the key, Mergen!

I found the key.

Where are you going to take the key?

To Ertuğrul Bey, who is going to make life unbearable for you.

I see, you are Ertuğrul's men.

We'll see who is going to make life unbearable.

We'll make you all pay and then kill you, bastards!

You not only joined our cause,

but also helped me kill that bastard Noyan.

How brave of you.

Thank you.

I can't believe I wasted

all those years with such cruel bastards, Turgut.

Thank God...

I met people who showed me the true way.

Don't mention it.

Now, let us take the key back to the camp.

They must know about Teokles.

-What happened? -Gündüz.

Gündüz left Söğüt.

He left with his brother Osman.

I followed them; they went south.

We were after Gündüz's life, but now...

Osman's life is in danger, too.

Send a man to Ertuğrul.

Have him tell Ertuğrul that he saw Gündüz and Osman

in a caravan heading north.

Opposite of where they are actually going, right?

Have the Karabela lie in wait for Ertuğrul's men.

He'll find himself in a death trap just when he was

expecting to find his sons.

What about Gündüz and Osman?

I'll send word to İlbilge now.

I'll tell her that Gündüz was seen at the shop.

Got it?

Make sure you are at the shop.

When İlbilge comes, tell her that Gündüz left the shop

and went south.

The rest depends on İlbilge's sword, and her wrath.

As you wish, sir.

Let the feast of blood and death commence!

We determined how much tax

the merchants would pay last night, sir.

Then, I went home to sleep at dawn.

Did anything suspicious happen before then?

No, sir.

Whoever it is,

it's someone close.

Are you sure nothing suspicious happened recently, Mikis?

We had them as our guests

as they came from Constantinople.

Don't worry, they are in the safe hands of my men.

You may see your family, if you want to.

Or, you can tell Ertuğrul Bey what happened here today.

But then,

you will save neither your family nor yourself from death.

I'm talking to you, Mikis.

Did anything suspicious happen recently?

No, sir, nothing happened.

They are close to us.

I want to know everyone that came to Söğüt and the inn,

and everyone that did business.

Note them down.

Give the list to Bamsı.

We're expanding the investigation.

Yes, sir.

Sir, the man here says he saw Gündüz.

Tell me, where and when did you see him?

I saw him on the caravan route to Söğüt, Ertuğrul Bey.

They were heading north.

Osman was with them, too.

Osman?

So, Osman joined Gündüz as well.

They went past me hurriedly.

When I arrived, I heard that you were looking for them.

I thought I should let you know.

Thank you.

Bamsı.

Prepare our men.

Get the horses ready, we're leaving. Come on!

As you wish, sir.

I'm grateful to you.

You not only welcomed us in your camp, but also looked after us.

You helped us bury my father...

in accordance with our beliefs.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

It's our duty.

Please, don't hesitate to tell us if you need anything.

Thank you.

Aslıhan, take Nea to our tent.

I've got food prepared for you, enjoy it together.

-Go ahead. -Okay, Mother.

Let's go, Nea.

Evdokya.

My dear.

Artuk Bey investigated how your father died.

Did something happen?

Your father didn't die of natural causes.

He was poisoned.

How could it be?

Who could have done this?

Who would poison my father?

My dear.

Don't get all worked up.

Whoever it is that did this

will pay for what they have done.

We've taken you under our wing now.

You have us to protect you.

I don't understand.

I don't understand why something like this would happen!

Evdokya...

Why were you captured?

Don't you know anything?

My dear, tell us if you know anything...

so that we can solve this matter.

Since it's all connected.

I don't know anyone.

I don't know where they were taking us either.

I don't know anything else.

Didn't your father tell you what happened?

Excuse me.

I need time alone.
