THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

My Süleyman.

My Süleyman!

Süleyman! Süleyman! How could they do this to you?

How could they do this?

My Süleyman.

How could they kill you?

They killed a brave kid...

when they did this to Süleyman.

He put up a good fight.

That's why they tortured him.

He died bravely.

It will now be my duty

to make them vomit blood for every drop of his blood that they spilled.

You couldn't make Gündoğdu's son talk!

Söğüt has made you forget you are Albastı.

He branded his own tongue to make sure he couldn't talk.

What else could I have done?

And these lands have apparently made you forget you're Alıncak.

If you were going to return his title to Ertuğrul,

why did you go to Söğüt?

He violated your order.

And you didn't do anything.

Even if there's a fire burning inside you,

you must not let any smoke escape,

otherwise you'll give your enemy an idea of the fire that'll eventually burn them.

If that fire... doesn't burn Ertuğrul to ashes...

it will burn us, instead. Remember that, commander.

"Measure seven times before you cut."

You must first win the war in your mind,

before you even set foot on the battlefield.

Ertuğrul played a game.

He tarnished our reputation.

We'll play exactly the same game with him.

What will you do?

An eagle is hit with an arrow made with its own feathers.

Ertuğrul is always prepared for those attacks

which come from beyond his borders.

So, we'll attack him from within.

It wouldn't be possible with his family. And his alps are devoted to him.

So how will you do it?

A man always listens to his woman.

We'll get to Ertuğrul's alps by using their women.

Who are his closest men?

Artuk Bey, Turgut and Bamsı.

Not Artuk. And Turgut has no wife.

Then it must be Bamsı.

İlbilge is Umur Bey's daughter...

Sırma is Albastı's sister.

Tell your sister Sırma what you need from her.

She'll know what to do.

Wherever her eye lands... it burns like the sun.

Whenever she speaks... her tongue strikes like lightning.

Go give your condolences to the Kayı Tribe.

The nephew of the margrave was killed. You should be with them.

And what will you do?

Berke Khan's men arrived as we took the man from the Byzantines.

They set up an ambush in Kızılçam forest.

They couldn't have discovered where we'd be by themselves.

We have a weak link.

One that threatens the whole chain.

What do you mean?

If the doors we have locked are opened to our enemies...

it means there is a traitor amongst us.

I'm going to find that traitor.

My Bey, something has been written on the wall.

ALBASTI

Albastı.

So, he's made it this far, my Bey.

When did that dog get here?

He must have slipped in like a snake.

Waited and hibernated.

And when the time came, he emerged to release his venom.

What will we do, my Bey?

We'll crush the snake's head...

as it leaves its nest.

He took my nephew.

I'm going to destroy his family.

May I come in?

Come in.

Greetings.

I'd bid you welcome,

but every time you come here, something bad happens.

What do you want?

Hafsa Hatun, should we take these rugs away?

Just in case they look at them and the bad luck they bring damages them.

Well done.

They're beautifully made.

Indeed, they are.

When the women can work in peace, with no one tormenting them,

they produce beautiful work.

Animosity between members of our two families

makes life difficult for all of us, Selcan Hatun

That's why we're here.

We must forget the past. It's important that we stand united now.

You'll forgive me if I tell you that being friends with you

would be like embracing a snake, İlbilge Hatun.

I do not forget what has been done to me, nor those who were responsible.

Welcome, ladies.

Why are you all standing there like that?

Please, sit down.

Life has been hard on us all recently, Mother Hayme.

And we have been hard on each other.

We were the ones who experienced hardship.

What happened to you?

Our tribe and our village were attacked.

The lives of my son and my nephews were threatened.

What happened to you?

I think we should listen to her, dear. Just wait.

Everyone has their own troubles, Selcan Hatun.

The Mongols' cruelty towards you, the ordeals you were put through,

the torture we witnessed, do you think it pleased us to see it?

Yes, you both looked very happy about it.

What's changed?

Nothing has changed.

Didn't you realize that in order to protect you and your tribe,

my brother stood up against Alıncak

to prevent the Mongols persecuting you further?

If the Kayıs and Umuroğulları stand back to back,

we will be as strong as a mountain.

Are we not flesh and blood?

Well, Mongols are one thing.

We understand the Mongol tyranny.

What about your brother, Beybolat?

Did he not beat and humiliate my son in front of everyone?

Did he not imprison him?

Did he not attempt to have me flogged?

Arguing about the past won't benefit anyone.

Look, Sırma's wound is still fresh.

But we still came to your tent.

We want to look forward, and stand together in peace.

My sister speaks the truth.

My wound is still fresh.

But I will not complain about the pain.

The pain reminds me of the mistakes I have made.

I have learnt an important lesson.

I made a mistake.

I treated you badly.

I hid behind the power given to me...

and offended the Kayı women.

The young often make mistakes.

That's why their elders forgive them.

Forgive me.

Since you clearly regret your behavior and have shown remorse,

both Selcan Hatun and I will forgive you.

From now on, let us look forward to the things we will achieve together

instead of fighting about the past.

We are ready to do whatever's necessary to protect our unity.

Separation goes against the interests of both our tribes.

Mother, if you'll excuse me

I have to go to Söğüt to get material for the rugs.

As you know, it's important we finish them soon.

Of course, dear. You should get back to your work.

Safe journey.

Ertuğrul is strong again.

Even Alıncak accepted him as the margrave.

-He's no longer our partner. -Why not?

Because a strong Ertuğrul...

will always complicate matters for us.

We must pit Alıncak and Ertuğrul against each other so that they'll fight.

What will we gain from that?

Why would we do that when

we benefit from Ertuğrul's friendship and power?

Stop being ridiculous.

You've forgotten our objective!

Our objective is to erase every trace of Ertuğrul from Söğüt,

not to win his friendship.

Ertuğrul doesn't need us anymore.

We'll be a target again.

We'll destroy him before he gets anywhere near us.

It's not the right time, sir.

Ertuğrul was able to break even Alıncak and Beybolat.

He's stronger than we could have ever anticipated.

Our current situation demands that we maintain our friendship with him.

Otherwise we'll be destroyed... not Ertuğrul.

If I hear you say "friend" one more time it'll be the last word you utter!

Show you have some courage and do as I say!

-Welcome, Selcan Hatun. -Thank you, Dumrul.

Load what I bought in the bazaar into a cart and take it to the tribe.

-As you wish, Selcan Hatun. -Where is Ertuğrul Bey?

Ertuğrul Bey had something important to attend to, Selcan Hatun.

He'll be back this evening.

What's going on, Dumrul? Why are you standing in my way?

Are you listening?

You look like a rabbit frightened by the light of a candle!

You've turned pale and won't speak! What's happened?

Süleyman?

Why is Süleyman's horse here?

I asked you why it was here!

Selcan Hatun, I...

Enough of this! Tell me, where is my son?

Where is Ertuğrul Bey? Why is my son not here?

-Selcan Hatun. -Selcan Hatun!

Selcan Hatun!

Artuk Bey.

Artuk Bey, tell me, why is Süleyman's horse here?

Why isn't Ertuğrul Bey here? Tell me! What are you hiding from me?

Our alps...

found Süleyman's horse in the forest yesterday.

Allah, please help me.

Artuk Bey! Artuk Bey.

Tell me where Ertuğrul Bey went. Tell me where my Süleyman is.

Selcan Hatun,

Ertuğrul Bey went to look for Süleyman. He'll find him.

I can't stay here. I can't.

Selcan Hatun!

-Selcan Hatun! Selcan Hatun! -Selcan Hatun, please listen to us.

You have to calm down. Ertuğrul Bey has gone to find him.

He won't miss anything, you know that.

He'll bring him back to the village when he finds him.

You should go there.

Selcan Hatun, listen to me.

-Selcan Hatun! -Stand aside!

-Selcan Hatun! -Selcan Hatun!

Alps, follow Selcan Hatun! Don't let her go anywhere alone!

Go!

Come on, alps!

Come on!

What's going on?

Grandmother, there's someone on the sled.

Grandmother.

Son, do we have a martyr?

Who?

We were too late, Mother.

The bastard murdered him.

Süleyman?

Süleyman, brother!

Süleyman, brother. Süleyman.

Süleyman, brother!

Süleyman!

How could they do this? How could they do this?

Gündoğdu's precious son, who has done this to you? Oh, Allah!

I wish it was me instead of you, my dear! I wish it was me who had died!

My boy. My sweet boy.

Süleyman.

Right, alps. Let's take him inside.

My brave son! My dear son!

My brave son. My dear Süleyman.

My dear son.

Allah help us.

What will we tell your mother?

What words...

what comfort...

will extinguish the pain in her heart?

What can ease a mother's pain?

My dear!

Allah!

Where is Selcan Hatun?

She went to Söğüt to get material for the rugs, Father.

Our brave child is gone. He's gone.

My brave boy. How could they do this to you?

Allah, what will we do?

Allah! Allah.

-Mother Hayme. -My poor boy.

You're torturing yourself. Please come and sit down.

My world is gone. My brave son is gone.

My world is gone, Allah.

How could they?

How could they? How could they?

What good is water, dear?

Not even a river could put out the fire inside my heart.

Not even a river!

What happened?

Allah...

-Mother? -My dear daughter.

Is that...

Don't look.

My Süleyman!

My Süleyman.

My dearest boy. Süleyman!

My sweet son.

I should have died instead.

Who did this to him?

Who killed my son?

Albastı.

Ertuğrul Bey...

My condolences.

Who did this?

That Mongol dog...

That bastard they call Albastı.

See for yourself, Beybolat Bey!

The Mongol bastards you call your friends have destroyed my family.

Selcan Hatun, you are in pain.

But those words shouldn't be uttered in the presence of the dead.

Our vengeance shall be greater than our pain.

Albastı will get what he deserves.

My brave son is gone...

but his uncle and brothers will avenge him!

Your revenge is our revenge.

We'll do whatever it takes to avenge him.

Whoever did this will not get away with it.

Bones of a bard.

Burn inside the fire.

Turn my bad luck.

Destroy the dark spirits around me.

Show me the traitor...

who has betrayed us.

-What did our Khan order? -We are to go to the castle.

Not to fight, but to make a deal.

Just as we were about to destroy the Byzantines' castle,

Hülagü Khan sent word, at the very last moment.

When the Byzantines handed Keykavus over,

Berke Khan's man attacked us.

-What does the letter say? -That it wasn't Ertuğrul

who killed my men and took Keykavus, but Berke Khan's men.

I was about to burn the Kayı Village like this fire before me,

but at the last moment, word came from the spies.

I wish to walk...

but they stop me.

I wish to see...

but they close my eyes.

I wish to kill...

but they stay my hand.

This is no coincidence.

It is some power which does this.

A power who knows my every move before the thought is formed in my mind.

Someone like us but not one of us.

Someone who sees what comes to me before I see it.

There is only one place that can happen.

Among the messengers who bring us news.

Now...

it is time to...

rid ourselves of this poison.
