THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

Alıncak's wicked owls have started hooting, my bey.

They should be here any moment.

No matter what happens, don't reveal your identities, even at the very end.

Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined diving into hell with the Turks.

We're all in the same boat. If we sink, we sink together.

They've invaded the forest like a plague of locusts.

If it's like this there, I don't want to think what it'll be like at their hideout.

My bey, who are the men following Alıncak with their faces hidden?

Albastı must be among them, Bamsı.

Turgut, Abdurrahman, don't take your eyes off them.

The man next to Alıncak must be Albastı.

If we see him when we get to their den, we kill him first.

I'm listening, Dragos.

So, what do you want to tell me?

I'm here to ask you to forget what happened between us and to forgive me,

and to let me be your loyal servant.

I'd rather wear your skin on the sole of my boots

than have a dog like you as a servant.

If you doubt my sincerity, you can kill me and my men right now.

But believe me,

I am here to offer you my service and my castle.

I've had my fill of Byzantine treachery.

Kill them all!

I have in my hand a letter from the khan of khans, Hülagü Khan.

Stop!

I took it from Ertuğrul's inn in Söğüt.

So, the khan of khans, Hülagü Khan, wants me to take your castle.

Ertuğrul tricked me.

Is that why he used you?

I'm sure he will have fooled you a number of times using this trick.

I happened to learn Hülagü Khan's orders before you did.

I am prepared to open the doors of the castle to you and become your subject.

I'd raid not just the Byzantine, but the rest of the world with you.

I want you to know that I am at your command.

I've discovered that he has a spy among you.

I'd like to help you find that spy.

How did you get this letter?

How do you know about the spy?

I have a spy at the inn.

He listened in on Ertuğrul's meetings.

He managed to snatch this letter from a secret compartment.

I can get all the letters for you.

I just want you to accept my offer.

I'll put my spy at the inn at your disposal, too.

Ertuğrul.

I can deliver him to you on gold platter.

You can lure him into any trap.

Go back to your castle, Dragos.

Wait for my orders.

Soldiers! We're going.

Come with me, Albastı.

I did what I could for you, Ertuğrul. God help you.

Go back to your castle, Dragos.

He'll kill my spy out of fury. I must hurry.

Let's go, alps.

Son.

Your friends are playing by the river. Why don't you join them?

You've read enough.

I don't want to play, Mother. I feel like reading.

I'll go out later.

-May I enter? -Come in, Sırma Hatun.

Welcome.

Thank you.

I was at the market in Söğüt, buying some things.

I thought I'd drop by on my way back.

How kind. Please, sit down.

God bless.

Your children are just as hardworking as you are.

Your daughter is winding a ball of yarn, while your son reads.

They are blessings from Allah.

I hope they have a blessed future.

I hope so too, Hafsa Hatun. I hope so.

I don't know why, but I thought of them when I was in Söğüt.

Aybars' love of books and Aslıhan's skillfulness

are well-known among the Umur Tribe.

And as I'm their big sister, I got each of them a present.

Here you are, Aybars.

This is for your books.

Thank you, big sister. I'll put my books in it.

And this is for you, Aslıhan.

Thank you, Sırma Hatun. It's beautiful.

Not as beautiful as you.

You didn't have to bother, Sırma Hatun.

You'll tire yourself because of us.

What are you talking about, Hafsa Hatun?

Can't you see the happiness in their eyes?

Come on, kids. Leave me alone with your big sister, Sırma.

I couldn't stop thinking about what you went through yesterday, Hafsa Hatun.

How have you been? I was worried about you.

What can I say, Sırma Hatun? I was shocked. I didn't know what to do.

You saw how hard I tried. But it was all for nothing.

I know she dislikes me, but what does she have against you, Hafsa Hatun?

I don't know either. I always try my best with her.

But you saw how she behaved yesterday.

Yes, I wish I hadn't.

It's not for me to interfere in the affairs of your tribe,

but Selcan Hatun was too hard on you.

She hurt your feelings in front of everyone.

We all saw it.

You put your heart and soul into preparing the best food possible for her son's wake.

She treats you worse than a servant.

Sırma Hatun, I bear no ill will towards her.

I do everything she asks of me, and always treat her with respect.

But... it makes no difference.

I heard that you took care of the tribe when she was absent.

Could it be that she's jealous?

You saw what she did to me. You can't lower your guard for a moment.

I don't want you to get hurt, too.

My, my, my! Look at those bastards.

They lie in wait like the devil himself.

Now we know where they've positioned their men.

But... I'd still rather not use this route.

This is only part of the precautions they'll have taken.

Who knows what other traps they have set further up the path.

If we go that way to save Mergen,

not only will we fail to save him, but we'll be ambushed by them as well.

My bey, we must proceed in this direction while steering clear of this path.

We'll split in two, Bamsı.

Stay here with some of the alps and lure Alıncak towards you.

We'll skirt the path and rescue Mergen.

As you command, my bey.

Launch your attack as soon as we are out of sight, Bamsı.

Lure them towards you and get them fighting.

Give us enough time to get Mergen out.

Stay here no matter what happens, Bamsı.

If they try to escape, go after them.

If they catch sight of us, attack them from behind and kill them.

As you command, my bey. As you command.

Let's go.

Let's go, alps.

All right.

You said you weren't spying for Ertuğrul!

Do you still claim not to know Ertuğrul?

This is the letter from Hülagü Khan which Ertuğrul stole.

I finally know who your master is.

Did you really think you could fool me?

I don't need to get you to talk now.

I'll get rid of the dog first, and then the master who held its leash.

Ashadu an la ilahe illallah...

wa ashadu an la muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu.

I'll destroy you and your devilish traps.

Move, Günkut!

Where is he?

There must be trouble.

I see him!

Ambush!

We're under attack, Commander Alıncak!

-Who? -Bandits must have followed us.

-Why would bandits be here? -It isn't bandits.

It's Berke Han's soldiers.

This is my chance to finally get my claws into them.

Leave a company of men here. The rest of you, come with me. Let's go!

Bamsı's managed to lure them out.

Come on, alps. Let's get closer.

Who did this?

My brave men, let your arrows rain down upon them.

Make it rain so hard there's no room left for them to breathe.

-Where are they? -Come on, everyone, for Allah!

Kill them!

In the name of Allah!

Come on, everyone! Leave no one alive!

Strike them like lightning!

God is great!

It's the horn.

They're after the spy!

Cover me!

Quick! We're going back!

Come on!

Harder, everyone! Leave them no room to breathe!

God is great!

In the name of Allah!

Untie him, get him down!

Come on! Come on!

-Mergen, are you all right? -I'm fine.

They tortured me.

I held out.

I knew you would. Don't worry, we're here to rescue you. Come on.

Dumrul, go on ahead with Mergen.

Go on. Take him away right now. We'll finish this off then retreat.

Come on! Come on!

What's wrong, Aybars? Is something bothering you?

What do you think? You know what Selcan Hatun did to my mother.

What did she do?

She shouted at my mother because of the food she cooked for Süleyman's wake.

She told her to go away in front of everyone.

Selcan Hatun is grieving, Aybars.

This often happens among women. Don't worry about it too much.

She didn't do it out of grief, Savcı.

Also, I heard she caused all kinds of trouble once. I heard it.

What did you hear?

That she caused lots of trouble for people.

She even tried to kill Ertuğrul Bey.

What are you saying, Aybars? You've gone too far.

Looks like you don't like it when I speak the truth.

Hold that tongue of yours, or you'll regret it.

I won't let you speak badly of Selcan.

Savcı, Aybars, what's going on? Stop it!

You're meant to provide an example to the other children.

Aybars, tell me. What happened?

Aybars?

What happened? Tell me.

He's angry with you for shouting at his mother, Selcan Hatun.

Hafsa Hatun, are you poisoning your children's minds against me?

What do you want from me?

I want peace, Selcan Hatun.

I don't want to fight with you anymore. Stay away from us, that's all I ask.

Let's go.

Selcan Hatun, you are the wife of a bey. She's not worth your time.

Get off me.

We have to regroup! We have to get over to their horses.

We can't let any of them get away!

The horses. They're making their way over to our horses.

Quick, quick, go after them, alps! Hurry!

This is the lion's den.

The fate of those who find themselves in the lion's den is to be torn to pieces.

Where are you, Bamsı?

The hilt of my sword is splattered with the blood of those I have killed.

Now... it will be your blood.

Albastı.
