THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

Evdokya,

it's high time you spoke.

I know your father took some information to Tekfur Yannis.

That intel caused you and us quite a lot of trouble.

So stop denying.

Tell us why you went to the tekfur.

Before my father died,

he told me to take this necklace to the tekfur.

He said that our lives depended on it.

There's nothing inside.

Did he tell you anything else about this necklace?

Turgut Bey,

I swear I don't know anything else.

And I have no family left, so please help us.

Don't worry.

We will protect you both.

I will go to Söğüt to inform Ertuğrul Bey.

Listen, Mergen.

Take them somewhere close to the camp.

And then go to Söğüt, disguising yourself, and wait for orders.

Very well.

Good luck.

Irene.

Gündüz, I will head to the castle and wait for you there.

Mara will meet you at the castle. She will help you get inside.

But to get in...

you will need to wear those clothes.

No way.

I can't do that Irene. I'm an alp.

I can't dress up like a Byzantine soldier.

Please, Gündüz. Just for once.

There's no other way to get you inside.

Is there really no other way? No secret pathways?

No, Gündüz. You need to do it, just for today.

Please, do it for me.

I will do it just for you, Irene.

I will go and speak with Mara so that she can meet you.

Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey.

Welcome, my bey.

Welcome.

Welcome, my bey.

Where are they coming from, my bey?

We will find out, Bamsı.

Where are you coming from, İlbilge Hatun?

It's not like we need to ask permission to stroll on our homeland.

Do we have to tell you wherever we go, Ertuğrul Bey?

What's wrong? Why are you spitting fire?

I have nothing to say to you. Let's go!

Something's wrong, Bamsı.

Find out what it is.

Ma'am.

İlbilge Hatun.

Welcome, ma'am. Welcome.

How can this be?

Welcome, my bey.

What's wrong, bell-ringer? You look very pale.

There's nothing wrong, my bey. I'm fine, it's just the weather.

I will take care of your horse.

Thank you.

Ertuğrul Bey.

You have a visitor waiting for you inside.

How did he escape the ambush?

How could he escape the ambush?

Karabela!

Karabela!

Emir Bahattin.

Not only is the food disgusting here,

but you have also caused these lands that Sultan Alaeddin bestowed on you to rot.

Take this thing away.

-Your Highness. -İlbilge Hatun.

I would like you to accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss.

Your father was a close friend of mine.

I'm sad to lose...

my brother...

and a loyal bey of our nation.

May he go to heaven, and rest in peace.

I appreciate your kindness.

Listen.

I've come to find the culprits.

And I will make them pay for it.

Please, have a seat.

I know that you will not let my father die in vain.

Was Ataç Bey right in his claims about your son, Ertuğrul Bey?

First, you need to show respect to the food before you.

Then, you will respect the position of your margrave.

Then, your words will have meaning.

-Ertuğrul Bey, know your place! -That's my line, Emir Bahattin.

Everyone has to know their place.

That goes for you, too.

Then, we will talk in good faith around this table.

Now...

I'm all ears.

Ertuğrul Bey, I will keep it short.

I will talk in your language.

Ataç Bey claims you are helping your son escape from justice.

Is that true?

If it is, and you don't bring him to us,

know that the executioner will take your head, too.

It's my responsibility to ensure justice first and foremost.

Know that first.

That is if the scale of justice is not tempered with.

We came here to take your son and bring him to justice in Konya.

Why Konya, Emir Bahattin?

Why not Söğüt?

This is only right to carry out justice properly, Ertuğrul Bey.

If you or your son have nothing to fear,

then you shouldn't object to the trial being held in Konya.

-Where are you going? -To Lady Irene.

-Who is this man? -One of the new guards.

We've never seen him before. What's your name?

Mara. Theodor.

Where have you been? Come now!

Just in time, Irene. I would have had to kill them without you.

I will wait outside.

You are safe here, Gündüz.

Only Mara and I know that you are here.

Nobody uses this place so it's not in their radar.

You're risking your life for me. I could never repay you.

I just want you to be safe.

I fear nothing.

I was so afraid of that woman doing something bad to you.

Don't be, it's long gone.

I will make them pay for it when the time comes.

We will do whatever is necessary together.

I need to go now, but I will be back.

We have to lock the door. We will bring you everything you need.

Why don't you want the trial to be held in Söğüt?

Is it because you think I will protest against the Qadi's verdict?

Or is it because you think I will protect my child from the trial?

I'm afraid of nothing, Ertuğrul Bey.

Let alone you.

These claims against my son started in Söğüt.

If the trial is held in Konya,

the trial will be called in question.

I, as the margrave, find it fit for the trial to be held here in Söğüt.

Your son is still missing,

and you are trying to decide where the trial should be held.

First, find and bring your son here.

I will take my son and hand him to the justice in Söğüt.

Along with my witnesses.

Is there anything else?

I'm telling you I will take your son to Konya.

And I'm questioning why you are being so obstinate.

Or does the government suspect that the margrave

would attempt to protect his son from justice?

Enough!

How dare you stand without permission?

Sit!

Stop!

Put your swords away! Now!

You!

You're so stubborn!

Always so stubborn!

Your intransigence and defiance will be your doom, Ertuğrul Bey.

Your Highness.

I'd like the trial to be held in Söğüt, as well.

İlbilge Hatun, how can you say that?

The trial and execution of Gündüz Alp must be carried out in Söğüt.

That way,

I can see the same kind of pain Gündüz Alp made me suffer

in the very eyes of Ertuğrul Bey.

I'd like to witness the embarrassment of Ertuğrul Bey

in front of the very crowd he used to preach to about justice

when Gündüz Alp walks toward his executioner.

That's why I would like the trial to be here.

And if Ertuğrul Bey believes in both justice and Gündüz Alp,

then I think...

he should bring Gündüz Alp to you no later than tomorrow.

Tomorrow then!

Bring me Gündüz Alp!

Otherwise,

I will have both your son and you executed.

Mark my words, Ertuğrul Bey.

Osman?

Osman.

Where have you been? Where is Gündüz?

I need to see my father. I will only talk to him.

He's talking to Emir Bahattin inside. Wait here, he should come back soon.

You can tell me, Osman.

It's important, I need to tell my father. I will wait for him.

Yahu Mikis, come on, you must remember!

When you were out in the garden with Ertuğrul Bey that day,

who came to tell us he had seen Gündüz Alp?

I have no idea, Commander Bamsı.

That day was chaotic, how could I know?

How can you not remember?

Why do you wanna know? What happened?

It's none of your business.

Now, think. You were there

You and brother Dumrul were there,

and Ertuğrul Bey was in front of you guys.

And then a hooded man came.

He had boots on, and he was this tall.

This man says he saw Gündüz, my bey.

Where and when did you see him?

-Covan. -Covan! Who is this Covan?

He works at the merchant Frank's shop, running errands for him.

Where is that shop?

I understand why Emir Bahattin came here, my bey.

What I don't understand is why İlbilge Hatun

is adding insult to injury.

The woman who told me she trusted me is now spitting fire at me.

She has some ulterior motive, and I need to find out what it is.

Father.

Osman.

Where have you been?

-Where is your brother? -He went toward the Crane Hill.

I came here pretending to bring food just to tell you.

Abdurrahman, quick, send our men.

Have them comb through the Crane Hill.

And let me know if they find any trace of Gündüz.

Yes, my bey.

Why did you go with your brother, Osman?

Why didn't you let us know before that?

I couldn't leave my brother in that state alone, Father.

I decided to go for better or worse. I thought I could convince him to go back.

Once I figured he wouldn't return, I came here.

Now, go back to the camp.

Your grandmother is worried about you.

And never leave the camp on your own again.

Father...

are you mad at me?

You say you went to save your brother.

And you came back to save him.

You have done your duty as a brother.

Pray that your brother may return safe and sound.

Welcome.

Yes, sir?

Ertuğrul escaped the ambush, Covan.

I need to get out of Söğüt before they discover me.

Ertuğrul is already here.

They're looking for you everywhere, you can't run.

What do you want me to do, sir?

I want you to die!

They went to Crane Hill.

-It's Commander Bamsı. -I'm going to kill you, bastard!

-Where is he going? -What's wrong with him?

Let's go, brother.

Why now?

What happened? Who did this to you?

Dragos.

Commander Bamsı!

Commander Bamsı!

Commander Bamsı!

-Bamsı! -Commander Bamsı!

-Commander Bamsı! -Bamsı!

-Who did this to you? -Back door!

Günkut, go after him, quick!

Commander Bamsı. Hang in there.

Come on up. Get up.

Come on, my bey.

Lean on me.

Make way!

Did you call me, Father?

What's your relationship with Gündüz?

Why did you save him with the soldiers from the castle?

I saw that he was in danger. İlbilge almost killed him.

I didn't have a choice.

Oh, sweetheart.

This isn't something for you to do.

Gündüz is accused of murder. They're looking for him everywhere.

We can't meddle with the Turks' internal problems,

or we will be tangled up in this mess.

Now, tell me, where is Gündüz?

He's gone. I don't know where he is.

Plus, Gündüz is innocent.

How can you be so sure? And why is he so important?

-It's not up to you to protect him. -Yes, it is, Father.

-Gündüz is very important to me. -But why, Irene?

I love him, Father.

Sir.

Thank you, brother.

Thanks to you, the chest and the information in it are safe.

God bless both you and Mergen.

Thank you, my bey.

Now, what do we do with this chest?

Its owners will come to retrieve it when the time is right.

Bey,

I couldn't find anything in this necklace.

If Teokles wanted to take this necklace to the tekfur,

only him can reveal the truth on this mystery, my bey.

Take the necklace and go to the tekfur, Turgut.

Can we trust him?

These recent incidents...

just showed that Dragos is a common enemy of ours.

The tekfur and I are both protecting

the farthest region of the Byzantine and Seljuk empire.

We' have a common enemy, Turgut.

He will work with us.

You are right, my bey.

If he can't solve the mystery surrounding this necklace,

then trouble will find its way to him, as well.

Now, take this necklace to the tekfur, Turgut.

As you wish, my bey.

No one knows about you, Mergen.

Stay in Söğüt.

Try to gather information on Dragos.

Tell us as soon as you find out anything.

-Yes, my bey. -Thank you.

-Artuk Bey. -Yes, my bey?

I entrust you with this key...

and this chest.

Yes, my bey.

Hang in there, Bamsı. Stay with me.

Send for Artuk Bey right away! Go!

Commander Bamsı!

Do you want me to help, sir?

You can't even stand upright, how would you carry me?

Bring me water, help Artuk Bey, go!

-Yes, sir. -Come on.

Yes.

The amount of tax to be collected is here in detail, Your Highness.

There is more than I assumed there would be, İlbilge Hatun.

I see that you don't ignore your duty...

despite all your pain.

Until Gündüz is brought to justice,

I will never ignore my job, your grace.

Good.

Have them start collecting taxes, but no sooner than tomorrow.

Very well.

İlbilge Hatun.

You said that you wanted the trial to be held here in Söğüt.

Will you be ready to accept the possibly unfavorable consequences?

I know that Ertuğrul is protecting his son.

We must take our precautions accordingly.

Also, my tribe should arrive in Söğüt soon.

I will make sure that both Ertuğrul and his son suffer.

Good.

Listen, İlbilge Hatun.

I assume you know that I haven't come here

only to bring that bastard to justice.

Ertuğrul wants to be a Sultan.

But I have Allah, my country and you by my side.

Ertuğrul won't be able to deter us.

Now if you will excuse me, Your Highness, I'd like to go and carry on with my job.
