THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

My brave horse.

My friend on this dark day.

You're more than a brother to me.

You brought hope to Osman in my darkest hour.

The water that rushes out of the rocks.

The water that moves...

the ships.

The water that gives life...

to vineyards and gardens.

The water drunk by...

beautiful horses, red camels...

white sheep...

and around which they rest.

Do you know my son?

Oh, dear water.

May God keep our faith pure when death comes.

May He accept...

this innocent one into Heaven in the name of Muhammad Mustafa.

Amen.

Have you got anybody?

Then let me take you to my village.

You go to your village.

You're burdened enough...

let me be with my pain.

Go to your children.

And I'll go to mine.

I can't leave you alone here.

It will be dangerous.

How can I leave my child alone here, my bey?

How can I leave my son to the cold and the darkness of the night?

I won't leave until my last breath.

Stop.

Do you want to die on his grave?

If so,

this is disobedience against God.

Hyah!

Hyah!

They won't have my son.

Go away, my bey. Ride away.

Don't get involved with this scum.

Who are they?

Ho!

Come on.

So, you couldn't leave your wife.

Don't worry.

I'll send you to her soon.

-Turgut Bey. -Selamun aleykum.

Aleykum selam.

Any news, Ahmet?

No good news, Turgut Bey.

Governor Kritos prepares to attack.

Attack? Where?

In some tannery.

Almıla Hatun and her men.

Ertuğrul Bey is mourning, he's using it.

Scum.

You're right, Günalp Bey.

He'll hit him when he's weak.

Where is my bey?

He went to the mountains to be alone.

Maybe he's returned.

Then let's go to the village.

No.

No time to go there.

They could attack any time.

We have to go to the tannery at once.

And Ertuğrul Bey?

While you go to the tannery, send an alp to Ertuğrul Bey.

I'll go get my men from the castle.

Let's go at once.

All right, Günalp Bey. You're right.

Let my bey mourn.

We'll take care of this without disappointing him.

-Of course. -Then, I'll meet you at the fight.

May God help us all.

-Amen. -Amen.

-Let's go finish them. -Come on.

Oğuz,

go to the village and let Ertuğrul Bey know.

Tell him the governor is attacking the tannery.

We'll go there quickly.

As you command.

Come on, brothers.

Hyah!

Come on!

The bird of prey waits eagerly.

Come on, brave boy.

Sugay Hatun.

You buried my bey's grandson.

You'll pay for this.

Take the woman.

Our bey will make you pay.

The woman is in pain.

I don't know you.

But I won't let you take her away.

Who are you?

Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah.

You can't stop us just because you're the margrave.

This is bigger than you.

Go away, my bey.

Then come and take Sugay Hatun.

Who are you? Step aside.

Think.

You will remember.

Who is this?

A traveler.

You'll know him soon.

You,

the strange man with Governor Kritos.

What do you want?

Your life.

What does that mean?

Old Governor Ares.

Now called Ahmet Alp.

Everybody knows what you are,

how you're spying for Ertuğrul.

So does Kritos.

What are you saying, you fool?

Step aside before I crush you!

Why are you denying, Ahmet Alp?

We know you told Ertuğrul about the attack.

You won't spy for Ertuğrul anymore.

Because Ertuğrul will die.

And I, Noyan, shall kill you.

You are...

Ögeday's commander Noyan.

You worked with Kritos to attack Ertuğrul.

I'll crush you.

I won't let them be ambushed.

Come on, brave boy.

Show your loyalty to Ertuğrul Bey.

The vultures and the crows are impatient.

They wish to feed on a corpse.

Your corpse.

Even if I die, I'll be a martyr for my cause.

Good, then.

You should be grateful, since I'll help you get there.

Let the vultures and the crows wait.

Now's the time for the hunter.

The hunters fly above their prey.

As they fly, death approaches.

Gök Tengri's black bird...

The right wing blocks the sun,

the left wing blocks the moon.

I wield the soul of that black bird.

I heard death.

The flapping of the black wings of death.

When the black bird descends,

no man can run away.

You won't run away from me.

Noyan's sword will bring you death.

There is only one God...

and Muhammad...

is his servant...

and his messenger.

Incoming.

The guards are signaling.

Must be Ertuğrul.

The time has come. Get ready.

Don't mess it up.

Everyone, back to work.

Where is Ertuğrul?

He'll come, be patient.

Chief Alp Bamsi, Turgut Bey.

Welcome.

Thanks, Almıla Hatun.

Thank you. Thank you, Almıla Hatun.

You honor our tannery. Please.

Nice tannery. You're doing good work, but we have bad news.

What are you saying?

Governor Kritos.

He will attack to prevent the artisans invited by Ertuğrul Bey

from coming here.

The infidel can go to hell!

We're not afraid.

I'll fight along my brothers.

We don't doubt your bravery, but you have no choice.

They'll attack before sunset.

Then they'll disappear in the dark.

And Ertuğrul Bey?

He isn't aware.

We will take care of this.

Where is your frontier bey?

His wife passed away. He's mourning.

So I heard.

I'm sorry.

Now, you'll go away.

We'll ambush them with our men.

Almıla,

we can't just leave here.

Eynece, Turgut Bey is right.

We'll do as he says.

All right, then.

Now, tell me.

Who are you?

A shepherd's wife.

He herded the Greek's animals.

He was killed in the Amid campaign.

I don't have anybody, Ertuğrul Bey,

except my little boy who died.

Who were these men?

My husband's relatives.

When he died,

they wanted me to marry his brother.

I didn't want to. I ran away.

I became a shepherd.

I herded the Greeks' goats.

My son was born on Nowruz.

I would raise him.

But...

he had a fever.

In the morning, he closed his eyes.

And he never...

If they found you today,

they'll do so tomorrow.

I don't care.

What is your tribe?

Tell me.

So that I can help end this.

I'm not from here.

My tribe is the Khwarazmians.

I came from far away.

Look.

My son needs a wet nurse.

Come to my village.

Be my son's wet nurse.

Join us.

You can come here later,

whenever you wish,

to pray for him.

Maybe feeding my son will ease the pain of your son's passing.

Come on.

Don't torture yourself.

Pull yourself together.

Huh?

How can I forget about my mother?

I'm patient.

But my heart aches, Grandmother.

What will we do with my brothers?

From now on,

I'll be your grandmother and your mother.

I'll treat you equally.

Don't forget.

It would anger God to be so sad before death.

He gives life and takes it away.

Also,

your father will always be with you.

-Grandmother. -Yes?

My father doesn't show it, but he's sad too.

Rest assured, son.

Ertuğrul will mourn...

and then he'll come back to his village and to his family.

-Grandmother, Osman is hungry. -Huh?

He needs milk.

Look, he's crying.

We will find some.

Keep praying.

God won't refuse prayers made in times of pain.

He will surely show mercy.

I hope so, Grandmother.

Hold on, Osman.

My brave son.

Hold on.

You shall be fed, God willing.

Oh, God,

help us.

Show mercy to this child of yours, oh, God.

Permission to enter, Artuk Bey?

Come in, Oğuz Alp.

What's the matter?

My bey, Ahmet Alp brought news from the governor.

He will attack the tanners.

Attack?

Turgut Bey, Günalp Bey and Chief Alp Bamsi are stationed there.

And Ertuğrul Bey?

I'm here to let him know, my bey.

But he isn't here.

Ertuğrul Bey will surely come.

The duty falls on us now.

Get reinforcements and go there.

I'll let Ertuğrul Bey know when he comes.

As you order.

Be safe.

The milk I couldn't give you...

will give life to Ertuğrul Bey's son, Osman.

I'll always come to visit you.

I'll water the grave and pray for your soul.

Let's not keep Osman waiting.

The spirits want you dead, Ertuğrul.

Gök Tengri wants your meat.

Erlik Khan wants your soul.

The great mountains and mysterious rivers want your blood.

Your rotten flesh will feed the maggots...

and your corpse, the trees.

Speak.

Is Ertuğrul coming?

No, brother.

Why?

Turgut and Bamsi came.

They said Ertuğrul was mourning over Halime.

They don't know where.

We can postpone the attack.

Ahmet is dead.

It's too late.

What good is the attack if Ertuğrul doesn't die?

Ertuğrul will be worse than dead.

You'll attack the tannery with your men.

Surround them, let no one escape.

As you wish, sir.

You, take the remaining men and come with me.

We'll attack Ertuğrul's men. I want no mistakes.

-They will all die, understood? -Yes, sir.

Go on.

Ambush!

For God!

We'll attack when we see the governor and his men.

It's an ambush, my bey.

Hide!

What's happening?

Go on, men!

For God!

-Are you okay? -Yes, Turgut Bey.

Is everyone okay?

Where is Ertuğrul?

Was he too scared to come when Ares,

or should I say Ahmet Alp, brought the news?

Ahmet Alp...

Yes, Ahmet Alp,

Ahmet Alp.

That traitor, Ertuğrul's spy, lies dead on the road.

The carrion will have your corpse.

Scum!

Do you think I'll go down without a fight?

Huh?

-What is this? -We're here, Günalp Bey!

Ambush! We're ambushed!

Attack!

That scum is running away.

We'll make him pay. Go to the tannery.
