THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

What would happen if I couldn't even care for myself?

Nobody to bring me a drink, to patch me up.

Father, I'll bring you a drink.

I'll bring it at once.

No, daughter. I'm not talking to you.

I'm talking to Aybars.

Father, you're just sitting.

Even if I did, it wouldn't help you get better.

You need to walk around, then you'll feel better.

Look at this.

Look at it. He has an answer for anything.

But it never occurs to him to hunt for his father, to feed him,

make him better.

You're the hunting master. I like science.

We should stick to what we know.

Stick to what we know.

Aybars is right, Bamsı.

Walk around so you get better.

A rolling stone gathers no moss, huh?

Oh, God.

Oh, God, blacksmith.

What's happening?

Let's see.

Selcan Hatun.

What going on?

Selcan Hatun is here.

Welcome, Selcan Hatun.

Selcan.

Welcome.

Welcome!

My daughter!

Selcan.

My Selcan!

Selcan. Welcome, my daughter.

Thanks, mother.

I missed you so much.

Thank God you came.

Thank God.

-Welcome, Selcan Hatun. -Thank you.

Look. Bamsı's wife, Hafsa.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Mother, your grandson Süleyman.

Süleyman.

Praise be.

You're a very brave boy.

God bless you.

My mother talked about you a lot.

At last I get to meet you and kiss your hand, Grandmother.

Osman, Savcı.

This is your aunt Selcan, the wife of your uncle Gündoğdu.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Welcome.

Praise be. Thank you, kids.

Her son, your brother Süleyman.

Welcome, brother.

Welcome, brother.

Thanks, brothers.

Selcan.

Where are Sungur Tekin, Gündoğdu and Dündar?

Why aren't they here?

Will they come later?

Father.

I have no fears.

But what I made you go through...

-And... -İrene, right?

Are you angry because I love İrene, father?

A real alp is one who loves someone, son.

But İrene is the daughter of a tekfur.

What's important is love.

Hafsa Hatun was the same.

And now, she's no different than a Kayi woman.

İrene is a brave woman.

She risked her life to save you from İlbilge Hatun.

Obviously, she loves you too.

You are my child...

and from now on, I'll consider her the same.

-Here, Selcan Hatun. -Thank you.

-Here. -Thanks.

Even after years, I recognize your ayran right away.

Where is Ertuğrul Bey?

Oh, dear, there have been many troubles.

Troubles from all sides.

They rally around us like jackals waiting for us to die.

What is it?

Is anyone else coming from your village?

Mother Hayme, Emir Bahattin is here with his soldiers.

He's one of the jackals.

He brings trouble.

Mother.

Welcome.

We would have prepared for you, if you had sent word ahead.

What preparations?

I'm here to punish you.

What is the punishment, Emir Bahattin?

For cooperating with Ertuğrul, who sent his son to hide with the infidels.

What do you mean?

Ertuğrul Bey went to save his son from the infidels.

True, he did save him.

And then he took his son to Nicaea.

He ignored the justice of the state.

The justice of the state!

His crimes are too much.

Now... it is time to pay.

Söğüt...

is under our rule from now on.

I'll take away Ertuğrul's title as well.

That's not a palace throne,

but the coat of our Bey.

Did you forget?

How dare you? Who are you?

Stop!

Süleyman!

Stop!

You...

would kill state soldiers in your tent?

Go on.

Do it, go ahead.

I have many more soldiers outside!

Add this to your crimes.

Go ahead.

Bamsı.

Süleyman.

Stand down.

You are an emir.

Do you have no manners?

Entering tents without permission and bullying the people?

Ertuğrul Bey surely has his reasons.

Don't act on what you hear,

but investigate and decide accordingly, Emir Bahattin.

Who am I?

Who am I?

I say he took his son to Nicaea,

you tell me he has his reasons.

Are you rebelling against the state?

Neither he nor his comrades will see

any mercy from anyone.

As for you.

Artuk Bey, Ertuğrul Bey's confidant.

You'll tell us everything.

Soldiers, throw Artuk Bey in the dungeons.

I'll interrogate him myself.

You can't arrest Artuk Bey!

This is tyranny, Emir Bahattin.

There are no suspects or accomplices.

You'll talk in the dungeons.

Arrest him!

This is too much.

Stop, Bamsı. Stop.

They want us to shed blood.

We can't help them win.

The dungeons it is.

We are not afraid of anyone!

We have no reason to hide from anyone.

Justice will prevail sooner or later.

Emir Bahattin.

You'll surely pay for all this.

Stop.

You can't take me away from my own village.

I'll go on my own!

Alps!

Ambush!

Watch out!

Father, what is going on? Where did they come from?

Ertuğrul.

They will find your son sooner or later, Ertuğrul Bey.

The Seljuk Emir can reach anywhere in the Seljuk realm.

I'll take my son to Nicaea...

not the Seljuk realm.

Nicaea?

They'll think we're going to Nicaea.

They'll let Emir Bahattin finish us off.

So, we'll get away from their trap at the castle.

İlbilge Hatun will follow us.

I'll talk to her tonight.

Why do you want İlbilge Hatun to come to us?

She needs to open her eyes, Turgut.

Her conscience will be our weapon

in Emir Bahattin's court.

İlbilge Hatun must renounce...

her accusation so we can acquit Gündüz.

Alright, my Bey.

You're good at setting traps.

What, are you going to take revenge on me with your son?

We have no wish for revenge on anyone.

Lay down your swords.

We need to talk.

I have nothing to say to you!

We're not here to shed blood, İlbilge Hatun.

Don't make us choose violence.

What would you do? Go on, let's see.

Gündüz!

Listen to me, İlbilge Hatun.

You said you wanted justice to prevail.

I'm here to make sure it does.

We could have killed you here.

As you say.

Let my alps go. We'll talk.

Alps.

Father...

What is this?

What are you hiding? Why didn't you tell me?

The one who keeps secrets wins quickly, son.

I needed to do this for your safety.

We shouldn't have...

We shouldn't have let him go!

Bamsı.

Calm down, son.

Didn't you see?

He wanted to cause trouble for us.

You were right, Mother. They are jackals.

May Allah help Ertuğrul Bey against them.

Grandmother.

Let's do our best.

We won't let them get away.

Brother Süleyman is right.

If we stay silent, they'll grow bolder.

Their tyranny...

is too much for us.

They're taking advantage of Ertuğrul's absence.

But...

we'll overcome...

their treachery.

-Bamsı. -Yes, Mother.

Tell me, Mother Hayme.

Take precautions against any type of attack.

They might try to create...

a court as well now.

We won't lose our grip.

We'll go to the inn tomorrow.

As you wish, Mother Hayme.

How did you know I would follow you?

Did you play us again?

I know you well, İlbilge Hatun.

Tell me,

did Lais tell you that I was going to Nicaea and not Söğüt?

You sent word to Emir Bahattin.

He sent his men already.

You're a brave woman.

You're quick.

You seek justice.

But...

you can't open your eyes.

I led you on myself...

to open your eyes.

It is you who is blind.

You're helping my father's murderer get away.

Your son is the murderer.

You're protecting him.

Otherwise, why didn't you take him to Söğüt?

I help keep him away from...

your father's killers, not justice.

We're not going to Nicaea...

but to Söğüt.

We'll go together before sunrise.

My son will be judged.

Hopefully, when you hear the witnesses,

you'll see the truth.

I wanted you to know beforehand.

They'll pay tomorrow for imprisoning Artuk Bey.

They intimidated us by taking Artuk Bey.

Tomorrow, this plot against us will hopefully be foiled.

Can I come in, brothers?

Come, brother.

We couldn't talk today because of those scum.

I wanted to say hello.

Welcome, brother.

Sit down.

It's good that you're here.

You did well against Emir Bahattin.

They can't ignore a Bey's title in his absence.

He trusts the state but...

tradition prevails.

Disrespect will be met with violence if need be.

What do they want from Ertuğrul Bey?

My father protected these lands from the Mongols for years.

He didn't let anyone come close, he's strong.

They're jealous.

He's really in trouble then.

Once brother Gündüz is acquitted and free,

we'll support each other as sons of Kayi.

You speak of Dragos.

Who is this Dragos, Ertuğrul Bey?

What does he want from my father, my alps?

He used my son as bait.

He wanted to use

your anger and Emir Bahattin's hatred against me

to pit us against each other.

He wants to capture Söğüt.

Tomorrow...

both Evdokya, the daughter of Teokles who they poisoned and killed,

and the Tekfur's daughter İrene, will be witnesses at the trial.

İrene.

She'll risk her life to come to court tomorrow.

Father, if she can't get away, she'll die.

What if she doesn't?

She will come.

We'll all do our best.

My alps have gone to fetch her.

The truth will be out tomorrow.

I hope this is not another game, Ertuğrul Bey.

You can decide tomorrow after listening to the witnesses.

Listen to your conscience, İlbilge Hatun.

Tomorrow you either mark my son for death...

or you renounce the accusation

and we'll go after your father's killers together.

Tomorrow, justice will prevail.

Lais is a traitor, Mara.

I think he killed my father.

He locked me up so I can't investigate.

My hatun, there are soldiers everywhere. They're watching you.

I could barely reach your chambers.

I need to get out.

If Gündüz is being taken to trial,

I must go and stand as a witness.

I can't leave him to die.

There are guards everywhere. How will you leave?

I know how.

I'll dress up as you.

And I'll quickly use the secret passage.

But it's dangerous.

-What if Commander Lais-- -To hell with Commander Lais.

Nothing is more important than Gündüz.

Hurry up now.
