THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

Turgut, brother. My dear brother.

You are trying to stop me,

but I'm still going to that castle.

I'm capable of rescuing my son from that place on my own, if necessary.

Aybars, wait for me. Wait for me, my dear Aybars.

How is she, Artuk Bey?

We did our best, Beybolat Bey.

She should come back to us soon if she rests.

May Allah bless you, Artuk Bey.

You saved my life when I was poisoned. And Sırma's, when she was stabbed.

And now, you'll save İlbilge, too, God willing.

God willing, Beybolat Bey. It all depends on Allah.

İlçin Hatun.

Brother...

we almost lost our sister because of the game we played.

How could I know İlbilge would be there too?

My men hit her, not recognizing who she was.

They say it was Albastı who did it.

Albastı is their biggest enemy.

It's obvious we'd put the blame on him.

İlbilge.

My poor, naive sister.

You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, my dear sister.

May I enter, my bey?

Come in.

My bey, Ertuğrul Bey has summoned Sırma Hatun.

All right. You may go.

Brother?

What does this mean?

The margrave will still be confused by the game we played on him.

He must have questions for you.

I'll come with you. Let's go.

How is Hafsa Hatun?

Artuk Bey took care of the wound.

She's resting in her tent.

However, I don't know whether the wound in her heart will heal, son.

Bamsı is struggling, too.

He's gone to find Aybars, despite me telling him not to.

What about İlbilge Hatun?

How is she? What did Artuk Bey say?

That she's lost a great deal of blood, my bey.

Artuk Bey and İlçin Hatun tended to her wound. She's resting now.

-May I enter, Ertuğrul Bey? -Come in, Beybolat Bey.

I was sorry to hear what happened, Sırma Hatun.

How are you?

Fine, Ertuğrul Bey.

I'll feel better when we find Aybars and make whoever is responsible pay for it.

Beybolat Bey killed Albastı.

Aybars will be rescued very soon.

Thank God!

My bey, now that I know Albastı is dead, I can die happy.

He was just about to kill Bamsı. I got there just in time.

I thank God I got to avenge my sisters, and Selcan Hatun, also.

Praise be to the one who spilled the blood of that bastard!

Did anyone else know that you were going to Söğüt, Sırma Hatun?

It wasn't the first time, Ertuğrul Bey. We often go to Söğüt.

Do you always take the children with you?

No, that was the first time.

So why did you take the children today?

The children were bored.

Hafsa Hatun suggested taking them to Söğüt for a change of air.

I went to help.

They must have been waiting for the children to go one day.

When they saw that they were in Söğüt, the bandits ambushed them.

Could you see their faces? Did they look like infidels?

I don't know, we didn't see.

Their faces were covered.

Everyone, I want to be alone with Beybolat Bey.

Let's go, ladies.

Both the Kayı and Umuroğulları tribes have suffered enough

because of all this trouble, Ertuğrul Bey.

First, it was my father. Then they snatched Aybars.

They even tried to kill my sisters.

As long as we leave those treacherous bastards alive,

we'll never find peace in our lands.

This is the margrave's dominion, Beybolat Bey.

Anybody who chooses to settle here

should know that this land is ablaze with trouble.

This land has never been an easy place to live and I doubt it ever will be.

But we'll put out this fire, just as we have done all the others.

We'll soon take down Dragos, along with his accomplices.

I'll put an end to him with the help of Alıncak.

How can that happen?

Isn't Alıncak dead?

No.

I still have him.

The person who hit him in the chest clearly intended to kill him.

But I had him healed.

I kept him hidden from everyone so that I could use him when the time was right.

My respect to our margrave!

Not everyone could keep an enemy of Alıncak's stature hidden for so long.

Well, then,

how are you going to use Alıncak to put an end to Dragos?

When I take the man who was incapable of fulfilling any of Hülagü Khan's orders

and deliver him to Konya, my reputation in the state will grow.

When it does, I'll get the edict I need to lay siege to Lefke Castle.

I'm not done with Alıncak, yet.

Who knows...

He might yet provide me with more information before I take him to Konya.

May I enter, Hafsa Hatun?

Come in, Selcan Hatun.

Please don't get up, please.

I know you are surprised to see me.

I know we haven't been getting on well recently.

But you have a special place in my heart. And I didn't want you to be by yourself.

You went after Aybars...

You didn't hesitate; you fought for him.

Thank you, Selcan. Thank you.

I consider Aybars my son, too.

I know how it feels...

when you no longer see your son or hear his voice in your tent.

I know how much it hurts.

At times like this, we need friends to share our sorrow with.

We feel the need to tell them of our yearning,

of our pain and hope, just to keep ourselves alive.

Thank you, Selcan Hatun.

Thank you.

My heart flutters like the wings of a bird inside a cage of steel bars.

I tremble at the thought of something happening to him.

Don't speak that way. Now is the time for hope, not despair.

You must be as strong as the pole of this tent.

You must be strong because it is your duty as a wife

to endure everything so that those you care about need not.

It's too painful, Selcan Hatun. It's too hard.

I can't bear this pain any longer.

I know, my dear. I know.

We women are destined to endure hardship throughout our lives.

But we can't afford to be the weak willow tree which quivers in a breeze.

We must be like the plane tree which never bends, even in storms,

so that our husbands and sons may live in peace under our boughs.

You will see. All our troubles will be over soon, God willing.

My father will rescue Aybars and bring him back, Mother.

-Yes. -God willing, my dear.

-God willing. -God willing.

Alıncak!

How did my arrow not pierce his damn heart?

Every breath you take means trouble for me!

May I enter, my bey?

Come in!

Bey.

I'm waiting for you in the cellars. Dragos.

What's that, brother? Is it something important?

No, Sırma. It's just the merchants. They're a bunch of cowards.

They want guarantees for the goods they're bringing us.

Brother.

You said it was the work of Albastı.

But it was you who killed him. Tell me, what's going on?

If you want someone to believe a lie,

you should make it as close to the truth as possible, Sırma.

That should suffice as an explanation.

The Kayı Tribe is starting to fall apart.

We've destroyed the home of one of Ertuğrul's closest friends.

However, both my sister and I were wounded in the process--

It was worth it.

You can go and rest now.

I'll let you know what else you can do soon.

I'll go back to our tribe now. I shouldn't be absent much longer.

You should stay here until İlbilge recovers.

-As you command, brother. -Good.

May I enter, my bey?

Come in.

Turgut Bey sent us one of his alps. He says he's still looking for Bamsı Alp.

Bamsı is trying to evade them so he can go in alone.

Make sure they understand they've got to stop Bamsı.

I told Beybolat and Dragos that I'd take Alıncak to Konya tomorrow.

Albastı is sure to ambush us somewhere along our route to try to take Alıncak.

Pass this on to Turgut, Abdurrahman.

Make sure he leaves some alps behind to follow Bamsı.

He is set to take up a position

on the road to Konya with the rest of his alps.

He must take Albastı by surprise.

As you command, my bey.

Dragos and Albastı joined forces to attack us.

We'll cleave them in two with one sword.

Ertuğrul beheaded Uranos.

Now everyone knows that he wasn't the real Dragos.

Why are you still hiding your face?

So, the poor, hunchback bell ringer who's been through so much,

was actually the real Commander Dragos, huh?

Don't forget you found out who your father's killer was

thanks to the bell ringer.

Why did you ask me here? What do you want?

Alıncak is still alive.

Ertuğrul has him. He's going to take him to Konya.

He'll use Alıncak to conquer my castle.

-We must stop Ertuğrul. -I know all this.

And I know exactly what to do.

Tell me, then.

I have Chief Alp Bamsı's son.

They think he's here, in your castle.

Right in front of Bamsı, I killed Albastı,

who had snatched away his son.

Everybody now thinks Albastı is dead.

I stopped Ertuğrul from going after Albastı.

Are you Albastı?

My! My.

You hid who Albastı really was.

And you managed to prevent Ertuğrul from going after him.

I commend you, Beybolat Bey.

My partner's reputation is my reputation.

However, Ertuğrul's prestige is going to increase in the state.

He's bound to discover Albastı's identity on the way to Konya.

I won't let that happen.

Ertuğrul can't take Alıncak alive.

That would be dangerous for both of us.

We must set a trap for Ertuğrul together.

Commander Dragos.

How?

I'll give you Bamsı's son.

Bamsı will be looking for a way to get into the castle.

It'll be easy for you to catch him.

You'll ask him to bring Alıncak in exchange for his son's life.

And what will you do?

I'm going to lie in wait for Ertuğrul on the road to Konya.

Thus, we'll have him in a pincer-like grip.

Neither Alıncak nor Ertuğrul

-will be able to escape! -I've got it.

You set up your trap, and leave Bamsı to me.

Good. Good.

Go then.

It's my turn to play a game on you.

I won't let you or Ertuğrul get hold of Alıncak.

I want an ambitious man like that on my side,

to use as I see fit.

We were so worried about you, my lady.

Thank God you've come back to us.

We've told everyone you are awake. They'll be able to relax now.

May I come in, İlbilge Hatun?

Come in, Ertuğrul Bey.

How do you feel, İlbilge Hatun?

I feel fine, thank God.

How did it happen?

When I found out Aybars had been taken,

I went there. There was a skirmish.

Was anything suspicious? Think hard.

Selcan Hatun suspects that it was Albastı.

But I was hit before I saw anything.

Is there anything at all?

There was someone.

He had a scar on his face.

A scar running down his forehead.

It seemed like... he didn't want to hurt me.

After I was hit, he ran away.

Would you recognize him if you saw him again, İlbilge Hatun?

I would.

We'll look for him.

Let me know if you remember anything else.

I will.

Thank God, I heard you woke up.

God bless. You look well.

I am well, sister. I'm better.

Can I do anything for you?

No, thank you, Ertuğrul Bey.

Artuk Bey did all that was necessary.

You should get some more rest. Sleep well.

Thank God.

May I enter, my bey?

Enter!

Our men are ready, my bey.

Prepare the traps to use during the ambush.

As you command, my bey.

We'll wait for them at the ambush's location,

but I wonder if Bamsı will take Alıncak to Dragos.

Bamsı is a distraught father right now.

But his loyalty to Ertuğrul will still be strong.

We should be ready for any eventuality, just in case.

If Bamsı refuses to take Alıncak to Dragos,

and Ertuğrul manages to take him to Konya,

we'll just have to finish them off!

Ertuğrul must not get through.

All right, let's go!

Bell ringer! You!

I'm no bell ringer, but Dragos!

You duplicitous bastard!

I came here in good faith, Bamsı.

To hell with your good faith! Where's my son?

Don't worry, he's safe.

He's waiting for his father to come save him.

His father will save him.

I'll save him!

I'll kill you all to save him if I have to!

Knights!

Don't be so eager to fight, Bamsı.

I have a proposition for you regarding your son.

And if you want your son to live, you'll do as I suggest!

What do you want from me?

Alıncak.

What about Alıncak? Alıncak is dead, you know that!

After you were relieved of your position, and the truth was hidden from you.

Alıncak is alive.

If you bring me Alıncak you can take your son home.

I'm not doing anything behind Ertuğrul Bey's back.

You're really going to protect the man who turned his back on you?

Alıncak is a dead man anyway. Albastı is dead, too.

What does Ertuğrul need to learn from Alıncak anyway, now that Albastı is dead?

I won't do it. I would never do something like that.

Are you really going to put Ertuğrul’s friendship

before the life of your son, Bamsı?

It's Ertuğrul's fault you're in this position!

Ertuğrul hasn't lifted a finger to help you but I'm offering to give you your son!

Stop bringing Ertuğrul Bey into this!

Fine.

Expect to be sent your son's body.

Stop!

First...

I want to see Aybars.

Here. Make do with this for now.

Son! Son! Aybars, my son!

My son!

What are you doing in that crumbling castle?

Do you have enough to eat?

Are you cold?

Is it cold?

Is it too hot?

Bamsı.

Do as I say and your son is yours.

Dragos!

Dragos!

I'll do...

as you say.

Bamsı, if I find out Ertuğrul is involved in any part of this,

consider your son dead.

We don't have much time.

Get Alıncak and come to the border.

You'll get your son there.

Knights!

Aybars, my son...

I'll free you from the clutches of those cruel bastards.

I'd gladly die to see you safe. Gladly.

Get Alıncak and bring him to the border.

Do as I say and your son is yours.

Alps!

Chief Alp Bamsı.

Chief Alp Bamsı, what are you doing here?

Ertuğrul Bey gave me a mission.

-That's why I'm here. -What is it?

Let me explain.

My brave men.

Please forgive me. Forgive me.

Chief Alp Bamsı?

What's going on?

-Peace be upon you. -And upon you.

And upon you, Chief Alp Bamsı.

Mergen. Where's Mergen?

Mergen should be here any moment. Why are you here, Chief Alp Bamsı?

There's something I need. I'll leave once I have it.

What are you doing, Chief Alp Bamsı?

Brothers, I'm taking Alıncak.

Don't get in my way.

Don't make a sound. You're coming with me.

My, my, my.

Ertuğrul's chief alp has come to save his worst enemy.

Where are you taking me?

If you don't keep your mouth shut, you'll die. And if you die, you won't find out.

Bamsı?

What are you doing?

I'm taking Alıncak, brother.

You're betraying Ertuğrul Bey?

If I don't take this bastard to him, Dragos will kill my son, brother!

Bamsı, don't do this!

That bastard is going to tell us Albastı's true identity.

Albastı is dead, brother! There's no use for this dog anymore.

I will save my son!

Bamsı.

Don't ask this of me.

You cannot take this dog when the bey has not ordered it!

Bamsı! Don't!

Mergen. It's my son!

I'm telling you that Dragos will kill him!

I'm taking Alıncak.

The spirits are on my side today.

Ertuğrul Bey was right.

Albastı must be among them.

Alps! Be careful!

Come on.

There are people coming!

As you lie in wait like ravens,

the eagles shall hunt you down!

Stop right there!

A sparrow mistakes itself for an eagle if it has never flown amongst them!

Albastı.
