Original subtitles

I killed your wife, Maria.

I'm the one who burned the tribe.

Your daughter, who you thought was dead, is watching you now.

And she is waiting for the moment...

we will destroy the Seljuks.

Yannis.

Thank Allah.

Catch the gladiator, it's Alparslan!

Yannis!

Yannis.

Yannis!

Trap!

Are you okay, Atabey?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

- Ya Allah. In the name of Allah. - Ya Allah. In the name of Allah.

The infidels' support is coming, Atabey.

After we stain it with that Seljuk's filthy blood...

I'm sure it will be the most rare piece in your collection.

With my own hands.

How did Alparslan sneak into Vaspurakan despite all the precautions?

Someone must have helped him.

But who?

Traitor!

You are the traitor who helped Alparslan sneak in!

We're here, my Bey!

Come on.

Allah is the Greatest!

Let's go to our Sultan immediately!

Let's go!

Alparslan Bey.

You're lying.

If you can't prove what you're saying...

I will kill you!

Don't deny it!

I saw it all with my own eyes!

You attacked me in the prison!

Everyone knows that you stayed until the last moment with Governor Yannis in the prison.

Maybe you're the traitor, Selikos?

And you're putting the blame on me.

There's nothing on him, my lord.

Search Selikos.

You don't believe what this traitor says, do you, General?

"So that I can enter the castle disguised as a soldier."

Alparslan infiltrated the city disguised as as a soldier!

Jesus.

Alparslan was under our noses!

You put this paper on me in the prison!

You lured me into a trap!

I will kill you!

Treason...

is only cleaned with blood.

Honourable Governor,

Alparslan has escaped.

And vengeance is sealed with blood.

I swear by the great Lord...

I will drown Alparslan in his own blood.

CITY OF REY

You summoned me...

my Sultan.

Sultanate...

is just a garden to Khorasan's lion, Çağrı Bey, brother.

If you summon him because he is a lion...

you know the old man has no strength left in his claws.

One whose origins and descendants are lions, he remains a lion even if he grows old, brother.

When I was young, when you came back from raids...

on the horse's back...

with the sword in your hand...

as in the stories told by our grandfather, Seljuk...

it was as if my eyes were seeing the lion of Almighty Allah, Hazret Hamza (RA).

This is a child's imagination.

Who are we to resemble the lion of Allah?

We'd be honoured to be the dirt on his horse's hoof.

My Sultan.

News came.

Alparslan Bey...

took Atabey Hasan from Vaspurakan from the hands of the infidels unharmed...

and they're about to reach Rey.

Praise be to Allah.

His soul will not rest before Alparslan drowns in his blood.

May God pardon his sins.

I know it was you who told the Emperor about Yannis.

Don't focus on me, General...

you should focus on Alparslan...

- ...who was the cause of Yannis' death. - Don't deny it!

We agreed on one bag of gold with whom you sent the message.

But what I'm curious about is how you knew Yannis was responsible for the massacre.

There are those who spread news for less than a bag of gold.

Selikos...

wasn't as loyal to Yannis as you might think.

You should have told me what you knew, not the emperor!

You will return to Constantinople.

Nobody can send me away from Vaspurakan if I don't want to.

Nobody.

I know you wanted to deceive the emperor by giving the Seljuk's head instead of Yannis'.

And I know you did this for Princess Evdokya.

And...

I'm sure that the Emperor will listen to this with interest.

Are you threatening me?

I'm showing you my trump card.

General.

You and I, years ago said...

let's get together and make an independent state.

Why don't you consider the decision we made, brother?

With your order...

you made Alparslan and Süleyman raise their swords on one another.

You know that the king is always thinking of the state's interests with his every move.

But...

the heir to the throne, Alparslan with his independent acting...

would leave the state in a difficult position.

Alparslan and Atabey Hasan have come, my Sultan.

Let them in.

Check.

The one who breaks the laws and ignores customs is like a horse without a bridle.

Just like you, Alparslan.

A horse without a bridle, roams alone, because there is no one who can hold him accountable.

But those who betray their own blood don't know...

Yınal Bey.

What's the matter, Kündürî?

Your plan in the prison didn't work...

- ...are you upset that we're back unharmed? - Not at all, Prince.

We are surely happy to have you back.

We are upset because Çağrı Bey is in the court room giving account for what you did.

Whatever the Sultan's state...

I know that he will not strike his brother's neck.

But with one mistake on your part, if it was your head on the line...

his hands wouldn't even tremble.

Get well soon, Hasan Bey.

Thank you, my Sultan.

Thanks to Allah first, then to Alparslan Bey, I am fine.

You did justice to your name, son.

The lion clenched his claws and got what he wanted.

I know your value for your Atabey, Alparslan.

But...

what you did, according to principles, is wrong.

Are these acts worthy of an heir to the throne?

Huh, Alparslan?

Tell me.

Exceptional circumstances...

require exceptional principles, my Sultan.

My Atabey's life is more valuable to me than the kingdom of the whole world.

MERV TRIBE

Akça Hatun!

Which hole do you go to from the tribe and for what reason?

Tell me.

Why are you so concerned? Tell me that, Karaca Hatun.

Bandits roam the area.

What do you trust in that you wander around like this?

I trust the one who holds my life in His hands (Allah).

You should do the same so you can be at ease.

You know everything but...

but you don't know how to talk to a Prince's wife.

Thanks to Alparslan Bey, he made you a misfortune upon us.

But I will show you who Karaca is.

CITY OF REY

What are you saying, father?

Who attempted to assassinate my sister and her son?

The damned mute ones.

And they had a sign belonging to Prince Hümam on them.

Do they attempt something like this and carry a sign with them too?

When did a traitor ever expose himself?

It seems...

someone wants to lay the blame on Prince Hümam intentionally.

Or the Prince is openly challenging us.

My Bey, there is news from Büst.

The city gates are being held.

And they are looking for Prince Hümam.

They searched all over the city but...

But?

Except for the residence of the Emirs.

So let's go and check it out.

You and my Atabey return to the tribe, father.

We have to go to Büst.

Everyone in Büst is being searched, great orator.

I'm worried they'll find Prince Hümam sooner or later.

We'll hide Prince Hümam in such a place...

nobody will have the courage to search it.

Take him to my residence in the city.

And who...

will look for a fugitive in Emir Bozan's residence?

Do not forget precautions.

We need weapons for our loyal servants, great orator.

There'll be a shipment of a heavy load of iron to the Seljuk state today, isn't it, Şeddad?

This iron...

will be the fortune of our weapons.

You cannot attend the Sultan's presence with weapons.

Your head will be bowed in the presence of the Sultan...

and you will not speak before the Sultan speaks.

And most important of all, when our Sultan is speaking...

you will never look him in the eyes.

Stop here.

Don't look our Sultan in the eye.

What do you want?

I want Alparslan.

My son, Yannis died because of him.

An eye for an eye.

- Either you hand me Alparslan... - Or what?

Or...

we will come and take him.

Our doctors say that pork impairs memory.

You forgot your defeat at Pasinler so soon.

It will not be easy like Kapetron.

This time I will come with the whole Byzantine army.

You will fight the biggest army that this land has ever seen.

Our Holy Qur'an says: "How oft, by Allah's will, Hath a small force vanquished a big one!" (Qur'an, 2:249)

We do not trust in our large numbers, but in our Lord.

You don't have children, do you, Sultan Tuğrul?

All my people are my children.

What does this have to do with our issue?

If you had a child, you would understand me.

Get to the point, Governor.

What is your final word? Tell me.

Either you hand over Alparslan...

Or prepare to face the biggest army this land has seen.

Let the war council be assembled immediately.

As my Sultan commands.

- Welcome. - Thank you.

The arrow that pierces the armor of one's death day...

cannot even pierce the shirt of the one whose time hasn't come, Hasan Bey.

Look, we had more days to see you.

Welcome.

Thank you, Akınay Hatun.

Praise be to Allah...

Alparslan Bey blocked the arrow coming towards us and became a shield for us.

Welcome, my Bey.

I know captivity in the hands of the infidels is difficult.

May Allah not let you live through this again.

Aameen, my dear daughter.

A day will come when the chains that wraps around our feet will wrap around the necks of the infidels.

Welcome, Hasan Bey.

Get well soon.

Thank you, Süleyman Bey.

I never doubted for a moment that Alparslan will save you.

And I was completely assured when Çağrı Bey sent the Alps as well.

There were those who were happy when the Alps were arrested.

Let's not tire Hasan Bey.

Let him rest a little.

Thank you, my Bey.

Look.

See what Alparslan did in Vaspurakan which is supposedly impenetrable.

You will surrender the throne yourself to Alparslan by standing idly by like this.

Let him do whatever he wants.

He fell from grace once.

I will be the one who rises in the eyes of the Sultan.

VASPURAKAN

How quickly you forgot that they declared war on us In Kapetron to avenge Prince Hasan?

Alparslan is more valuable than him in the eyes of the Seljuks.

They will never give him!

They will.

If they do not surrender Alparslan...

I will seize the Seljuk state.

At least Sultan Tuğrul...

didn't find out that Yannis' badge was real.

If he knew that, everything could have been more difficult.

What if he knows?

Then we will have no other solution than to surrender Vaspurakan with our own hands.

Then it will all be over.

CITY OF BÜST

Where is Bozan?

What are you doing? Open the door!

The prince's voice is very loud, if he doesn't shut up when he sees you...

cut off his tongue.

Prince Alparslan and his Alps are at the door.

Alparslan?

What is he doing here?

Looking for Prince Hümam and he wants to search your residence too.

You're going too far now, Alparslan.

Don't take your eyes off him.

What is the meaning of coming like this to a Ghaznavid Emir's door, Alparslan Bey?

These are not the Seljuk lands.

If the life of my family is in question...

there is no door I can't enter in this world.

I heard there was no house in Ghazni left unsearched other than the Emirs' residences.

I will start by searching yours.

This residence is protected by the Ghaznavid Sultan Mevdud's shadow.

And he is untouchable.

Either you get out of my way...

or I will cut off your head and enter.

I open the doors of my residence to you now...

but only because I care about the peace between two Muslim states.

Not because I'm afraid.

It will be better if you are afraid.

My sword will not remain in its sheath next time, just so you know.

Search everywhere.

If the traitor Hümam was here, I'd have cut off his head and thrown it in front of Şehver Sultan long ago.

You are searching in vain.

Now do you understand that Bozan is not an enemy...

rather a friend?

I see you believed in his betrayal without investigating.

Whereas, if Hümam was to do something like this...

he would have done it first to Sultan Mevdud.

Maybe Hümam isn't the leader of the tongueless.

Isn't that right, Bozan?

Traitors.

Alp...

This room is locked, my Bey.

This is Emir Bozan's private room, you can't open it.

You attacked a Ghaznavid soldier.

You have crossed your limits.

Really?

The glorious sword of our ancestors whose course came flowing from the sea...

protector of all the oppressed...

the ruler of the world, whose shadow makes the infidels tremble...

His Excellency, the Supreme Sultan Tuğrul Bey has honoured Merv Tribe with his presence.

Oh Sultan of the state, you have honoured our tribe with your visit...

and pleased our hearts.

The den of lions, the tents of wolves...

Kınık Tribe.

We are welcome in our tribe.

Tell those who ask if the mountain can walk, he got up from Rey and came to Merv...

and he is welcome.

Akınay Hatun, the trust of Temürlenk, the unique embroidery of the Kınık tribe.

We saw you too, and we are pleased.

We need to consult, brother.

As you can see, the prince is not here.

Leave my residence now, I must tend to the iron shipment...

which will be sent to the Seljuks.

I will personally transport it with my Alps.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for Hümam in the households that the Ghazni soldiers did not check.

Or do you search in the households you suspect?

Everyone is a suspect in my eyes until Hümam is caught.

Do not believe anyone.

If Alparslan Bey is comfortable, he can open the door and look.

I have nothing to hide.

There is no need, I have full trust in you, Emir Bozan.

You tend to the iron shipment to be sent to the Seljuks.

This investigation is the duty of Ghazni soldiers.

For now my sister's shadow will save you.

But you should know, I've got my eyes on you.

When we get hold of Hümam, he will realise that he doubted you for no reason.

InshaAllah, my Sultan.

Allow me to ambush...

Alparslan and take the iron from him.

Shall we draw the doubt on ourselves once again, Meymun?

The day will come when Bozan's wind will turn into a hurricane.

MERV TRIBE

Now, we will either give Alparslan to the Byzantines...

or an army many times larger than the one in Pasinler will attack us.

My Sultan, our army is not ready for such a great war.

While this is the case, it will be difficult for us to overpower the empire's army.

My Sultan, when the subject of the matter...

is war, where was it seen that the Turks stood back?

Even if the whole world attacks us...

we know well how to overcome it.

Neither my mind nor my heart accept handing over Alparslan Bey.

As such, it would mean admitting defeat in advance.

Don't get angry, my Bey, but this is not defeat.

For the sake of Alparslan's life...

it is to prevent our soldiers from falling to the ground.

Alparslan shows the sign in his hand and says the infidels broke the peace.

However, it is uncertain whether the sign is real or not.

It will surely come to light whether the sign is real or not.

The important thing right now is that if we give Alparslan to the Byzantines...

the Turks will lose their reputation and glory.

Süleyman, what will you say about this issue, my nephew?

What is this predicament, my Lord?

They're discussing whether to sacrifice my brother or not.

No, Gevher, they're discussing whether they should sacrifice one person or a thousand people.

Alparslan should have thought about this before disobeying our Sultan...

and going against his command.

Everything is okay, InshaAllah.

Brother.

Why has our Sultan come?

Whatever your position is regarding the matter...

that is acceptable to us, my Sultan.

Now I listened to what anyone said.

I made a decision.

My decision is that...

My Sultan, my Bey, in this matter...

I am the one who will bear the responsibility.

My reason for entering Vaspurakan is obvious.

I would do the same now.

My life is of no importance compared to...

the well-being of our state.

VASPURAKAN

As General Dukas said...

they may not give us Alparslan, Honourable Governor.

They will.

Tuğrul is not brave enough to take the whole of Byzantium...

against him.

I hope you are right.

I don't even want to think about what would happen otherwise.

We got news that a cart belonging to the Seljuks is approaching the castle...

my lord.

Finally.

Yes, General Dukas, are you ready to welcome Alparslan?

You came to your executioner with your own feet, Alparslan.

I killed my son with my own hands.

You brought your son to the executioner with your own hands.

That's what I call an eye for an eye.

Sultan Tuğrul.

Alparslan broke the terms of the agreement by infiltrating the castle.

Either Alparslan will pay for this or...

all the Seljuks.

Where is Alparslan?

I raided you for forty years, now Alparslan will do so for forty years.

If there is a price to be paid, it is you who will pay.

What are you talking about?

Yannis.

This is Yannis' sign.

I heard you all.

Everyone freely expressed their opinion.

But according to my ancestor, Oğuz's tradition, a Turk Bey...

is not given captive to the enemy.

As your Sultan, it is my duty to maintain the tradition.

Because the province goes, but the traditions remain.

As the Honourable Sultan Tuğrul ordered, I examined the sign...

found at the massacre site.

This sign belongs to the former Vaspurakan Governor...

Yannis, without a doubt.

The result is that whatever Alparslan did, was for justified reasons.

Yannis, who got what he deserved thanks to Alparslan, is responsible for the massacre.

The ones who should be afraid are the infidels.

Where did you find this?

In the place of the massacre.

What I read from your eyes is that the ambassadors you sent...

didn't tell you that I showed them the sign.

Did you come to our feet to say this, Sultan Tuğrul?

No, not for this.

To see Vaspurakan, which we will conquer, from close up.

Now, either you hand us the key to the city...

or we'll come with our armies and take it.

All this is because you are protecting my life with your life, my Bey.

This Turk land has seen many brave men, but it has not seen anyone like you, my Bey.

Not at all.

If I turn my back on my Atabey who raised me, if I leave the blood of our brothers...

on the ground, what will be of my valour?

Eyvallah.

Like a Turk soldier, his wife is valiant, my Bey.

That girl, Akça unlocked the caged tent and set the Alps free.

She said that the place of the valiants is not in the cage, but on the side of their Bey.

MashaAllah, what a brave-hearted girl.

Maybe too brave.

If talent is in the wrist, bravery is in the heart.

Let's see, show how a Turk woman can unite her heart...

with her wrist.

I learned to hold a sword in the palaces of Cairo.

I trained with a very skilful master, there was no one more skilful than me.

I see there isn't anyone here too.

Cut the blow not with the tip of the sword, but with the lower side, Aybike.

If you're going to teach people from the sides, come out to face me.

Your neck and your heart were enough for everything, what do you run away from?

Is there anyone in the tribe more skilled than you?

Think carefully when choosing enemies again.

Training is over, everyone back to work. Come on.

You should think carefully when choosing a friend too.

Do you choose your friend with a sword, my Bey?

You lied to me, Evdokya.

Was I supposed to learn the truth from my enemies?

Why did you do this to me?

- Uncle, I'm so sorry. - Be quiet.

What use is it being sorry?

If I knew the truth, I could change what happened.

You are also to blame for Yannis' death.

Nonsense.

Even if you knew what had happened, nothing would have changed.

If there's a culprit, it's your spoiled son, Yannis!

How dare you!

If you hadn't pushed Tuğrul so hard to give Alparslan, maybe...

he wouldn't have followed up the sign.

And we wouldn't have faced the danger of losing Vaspurakan...

because of your greed for vengeance.

General, please.

Stop questioning my decisions.

Write a letter to the emperor immediately and report the situation.

Tell him to send support.

Tell Maria immediately to come here.

This is the Byzantine way.

How do you know how to swing a sword like an infidel?

I learned it while growing up in infidel hands.

I saw you at Vaspurakan Castle.

You didn't seem like a fugitive like you mentioned, you seemed like a commoner.

What are you hiding from us?

I barely saved my life from there, why would I be at that castle, my Bey?

You must've seen wrong.

I know what I see.

I know where I am too.

If you don't trust my word and call me a traitor, strike my neck.

I'd rather die than be seen as a traitor.

You summoned me, my lord.

I didn't think you'd be so greedy to sell me out to General Dukas...

for a pouch of gold.

Forgive me please, my lord.

For God's sake, please.

My lord, forgive me, please forgive me.

So I was supposed to drown you in gold for you to be faithful to me?

Trust, Nestor, is what everyone needs most in life.

I will replace Kekavmenos when he needs trust the most.

Then I will step on his shoulders and rise to the governorship.

Have you prepared the letter I told you about?

Good, good job, Nestor.

Kekavmenos will never suspect that it is a fake.

MERV TRIBE

You said it incomplete, Süleyman.

You should have told our Sultan to give you instead of Alparslan.

Nothing should happen to the precious Alparslan...

- ...no matter what happens to the rest, right? - Don't start on me anymore, Hatun.

I will not give my own brother to the infidels first with my words and then with my hands.

What did you get by not giving him?

Did your father kiss you on the forehead?

Did our Sultan say: "you are my heir, Süleyman," huh?

But if you did, don't you know how many lives you would've saved in exchange for his?

Enough now!

They're eating at your soft heart, Süleyman.

But don't say I didn't say I won't let myself go down with you.

VASPURAKAN

I'm really sorry about Yannis, father.

This is not an easy thing to go through.

But you are the strongest person I know.

I'm sure you will get through this pain too.

After I tear up Alparslan, who made me kill Yannis with my own hands...

and drink his blood, my pain will ease, Maria.

Of course.

Soon, we will take our revenge not only on Alparslan, father...

rather, we'll take revenge on all the Seljuks who took our loved ones from us.

Not soon, right away.

It is time.

Kill Alparslan and bring his corpse to me.

I saw you at Vaspurakan Castle.

What are you hiding from us?

If you don't trust my word and call me a traitor, strike my neck.

I'd rather die than be seen as a traitor.

Where do you wander, son?

There is something on my mind like a splinter, Akınay Mother.

It'll either sink deeper or I'll pull it out.

Tell me, what is it that's on your mind?

Akça Hatun, I saw her in Vaspurakan.

If what your eyes see will plant a seed of doubt in your heart...

you should have asked her then.

I asked but she said: "You must've seen wrong."

Doesn't man know what he sees?

Sometimes he doesn't know.

Sometimes you see what you want to see, not what you're looking at.

Especially if there is someone who falls into your heart and is enthroned there...

everyone you see has a face similar to theirs.

They rain like it rains, they blow like the wind...

they smell like the flower.

The eyes can be mistaken, but the heart cannot, Alparslan.

When you are torn between the two, trust your heart...

not your eyes.

The carpets have arrived, let's see if they are what we expected.

Let's see.

What does that mean, father?

Weren't you the one who told me revenge can't be rushed?

Besides, do you think the Seljuks will collapse when we kill Alparslan?

You don't understand, Maria.

Did you raise me for this?

Was it all for me to kill a Prince?

And if we kill Alparslan, do you think they will leave me alive?

No, no, no.

I can't bear to lose you too.

Then don't let your own pain and greed get in the way...

of our great goal, father.

We will destroy not only Alparslan, but all the Seljuks.

You're right, my daughter, you're right, forgive me.

Alparslan's blood alone is not enough to cool me down.

I will drink the blood of all the Turks in this world.

Who do you wish to lead the army in the Vaspurakan Campaign, my Sultan?

We tried Yınal in Pasinler.

Thanks to Alparslan, he does not even give a chance to be tested.

The fire of his courage burns the enemy.

His wrist is strong, his sword is sharp.

Even for a war, he wants a fight.

He wants it, but to be the head of a state and to guide it...

is to manage it, isn't it, brother?

It isn't your own volition or to do as you please.

Isn't the order of the one who breaks an order broken, Oh Great Çağrı Bey?

Alparslan takes after his ancestors.

Wild stallions run through his veins.

Surely, Alparslan takes after his ancestors.

But he'll learn to restrain those wild stallions.

He will learn to ride the horse to the field, not where those wild stallions take him.

InshaAllah, my Sultan.

I see it and I believe it, brother.

Alparslan has has the talent of a world conqueror.

He will shine in your eyes, InshaAllah.

When he learns to drive those wild stallions to the field, then...

he will flow at the head of his armies that wave like the seas...

on the infidels.

Even if we don't see it, I hope our generation will, my Sultan.

What's on your mind, my Sultan?

Honourable Governor.

when your son, Yannis, made your secret ally carry out the massacre...

he used your name.

So that nothing would remain hidden and you wouldn't have a headache afterwards...

I went into Prince Yannis' room.

And I found this letter.

You can be sure that I will carry out your order, Dear Kekavmenos.

Not a single Muslim will reach the Seljuks alive.

I am sure that your secret ally who carried out the massacre, without arousing suspicion...

will also kill Alparslan.

CITY OF REY

My Sultan , if a skilled commander leads your army...

we will return victorious from Vaspurakan as in Pasinler.

The best of swords is evident from its ore and the best of armies is evident from its valiants.

We appoint Prince Süleyman as an officer for the Vaspurakan Campaign.

As my Sultan commands. I will try to be worthy of your trust.

May Allah make you successful, brother.

Thank you, brother.

My Sultan, the rest of the gold you asked for the compensation...

will be in Merv Tribe tonight.

What do you order?

Let it be allocated to the army for the Vaspurakan Campaign.

Let Alparslan take the gold to the army quarters tomorrow.

As my Sultan commands.

Süleyman at the head of the army, Alparslan at the head of the gold.

So, what is the duty of Yınal, who was victorious in Pasinler?

Nothing!

I wouldn't be surprised if our Sultan makes me a horse groom soon, Kündürî.

Actually, the situation is not as bad as it seems, Yinal Bey.

Would it have been better if he had put Alparslan...

and not Süleyman, as the head of the army?

You're right, but my patience is running out, Kündürî.

If patience runs out, the plan will be destroyed.

Süleyman is not like Alparslan.

A much easier bite for you.

What goes through your mind?

I would say that the Sultan put Prince Süleyman at the head of the army, but...

let's see if the army chiefs will march to the war with a young Prince...

at their head.

Then let us find that out first.

Inform Army Chief Gündüz, Kündürî.

Let's go to the army chief, who has the most soldiers

and ask him about his views.

I'm sorry about your son.

How do you not know that I won't give an order to break the deal?

How could you kill the Muslims that were sent?

I thought the order came from you.

Now you will help me...

avenge Yannis.

Alparslan, you will kill him.

Killing him is my greatest desire, Dear Kekavmenos.

Do you think I haven't tried this before?

I say find another ally capable of doing what you want.

I will place gold in front of you, the two of us together…

Forgive me, Dear Kekavmenos.

I have no intention of giving my life to Alparslan.

Alparslan will die tomorrow.

Then it will be the turn of those who left me half way.

Make preparations for the transportation immediately, Alparslan.

As my Bey commands.

They say they have thorns to protect themselves, right?

Some are.

The thorns of some is to hold on to a place and grow.

But sometimes it bleeds like this when trying to hold on.

It bleeds with its thorns and wraps it with its flower and leaves.

Let me, you can't wrap it with one hand.

I have healed my every wound myself up until now.

Sometimes with both hands, sometimes with one hand.

When I came back from the war, you bandaged my wound.

Consider it my debt, we will get even.

I know the wound I have inflicted is not in your hand.

It's not easy to heal that wound, I know that too.

Is this why you heal the wound of the thorn, and not the wound you inflicted yourself...

my Bey? Do you run away from difficulty?

It is the wound I have opened, but what have I escaped?

I do not know.

Weren't you going to pick flowers?

I'll pick it up when my wound is healed.

So that when I try to hold on with it thorn, my other hand does not bleed.

Great Orator, news has arrived.

Alparslan is going to take gold from Merv Tribe to the army quarters today.

Then send this news to Kekavmenos quickly.

Are we leaving the gold to him too, Great Orator?

"The Turks will have their swords at the time of the campaign."

"Honour will be unlawful to us if we are afraid and return."

"Honour will be unlawful to us if we are afraid and return."

"When Allah gives strength and the Alps draw the arrow,"

"When the eyes sees its oil, our hearts become embers."

"When the eye sees its oil, our hearts become embers."

That's it, children, the day of war...

is a wedding day for the Turks.

My Bey, is there permission?

Saltuk will play his reed flute, let's see Alparslan Bey's...

in the Zeybek Dance.

Come on, brother!

Come on, my Bey!

Come on, my Bey, come on!

Come on, my Bey!

Come on, my Bey!

Come on, my Bey!

My Bey, you won't play with me now.

Isn't there a Kınık Hatun who is equal to my Bey...

in height and skill?

There is.

Who?

Akça, my dear.

You tested your skills in the sword, let's see your skill in Zeybek.

My Lord, may I be sacrificed for Him, puts us in different situations.

While we were waiting for death in the dungeons just yesterday...

today we celebrated by the fire, thank Allah.

But there is clearly an issue that is tiring your mind.

Tell me.

Being responsible for this war decision makes me uneasy, my Atabey.

Since I was the one who caused the war, I would like to be...

at the head of the army, but...

How will that happen, Alparslan?

I'm thinking of going to the Sultan's presence and asking him to give me...

the duty of the Vaspurakan Campaign.

I have no doubt that our Sultan will understand why you want this.

However, while our sultan has entrusted this duty to Süleyman...

I don't know if it would be appropriate to say anything about it.

While the infidels are waiting to take his life like a vulture...

we know that some from the dynasty have their eyes on him.

What I have in mind and heart, is that rather than making such a request...

from our Sultan, without questioning his command, it is better for you to support...

your brother, Süleyman, who he put at the head of the army.

Otherwise, before the Vaspurakan Campaign that you have been dreaming of for years...

the resilience in the state and the unity in the army may be harmed.

You're right, my Atabey.

May I come in, mother?

Come in, my daughter, come in.

How are you? You didn't come to the feast. I thought I'd come and see you.

I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you.

My headache has eased a lot, It will be gone by morning, InshaAllah.

InshaAllah, mother.

InshaAllah, but...

after tonight, it seems like your headache won't go away.

What's wrong, Karaca? What happened again?

A new bride is coming to you, mother.

Welcome to whoever is coming.

Don't you know that a bride is not a headache but a crown on our heads?

Wouldn't I know?

Tell me without beating around the bush, why do you say that?

She doesn't know how to add salt to the soup, but Akça Hatun threw herself into the scene...

as soon as she heard of the game. In front of the whole tribe, she stood before...

Alparslan Bey, and played Zeybek.

Really?

Alas, I wish I had seen it too.

Mother Selcen, I think you didn't understand.

I say this girl has bad intentions.

Well, you won't believe me whatever I say about this girl, but this issue is different.

What's wrong with this?

Why would she have ill intentions?

Both are young, both are at the age of building a home.

Mother, it is not clear who this girl is.

Obviously, she's trying to become a Prince's wife.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Is this even right?

You obviously misunderstood this matter of equality.

Which Bey's daughter were you that you became a wife to a Bey's son?

Mother Selcen, do you equate me with Akça?

- My brother... - Karaca.

You and Süleyman gave your hearts to each other.

You came and became our daughter because you loved.

Not because your brother is a palace official.

Before anything, good morals are sought in these things.

My Bey, Kekavmenos doesn't seem like he will sit still.

Let him not stop. Let him come.

I swear by Allah, in whose hand is my soul, I am not done with him yet.

What's on your mind, my Bey?

The chests are loaded, my Bey, we are ready.

Come on. Let's get on the road.

Alparslan Bey sent the flowers.

He said that the thorns are removed, so it does not cause wounds.

Let them carry Alparslan with the chests, not gold.

After all, he's more valuable.

I'll be the one who takes Vaspurakan.

Then everyone will see who is more valuable.

My Bey, we are ready to go.

You can't escape me this time, Alparslan.

May the peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.

May the peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.

Aameen.

Aameen.

Oh Allah, give us strength for the sake of the glorious Prophet (PBUH).

Aameen.

Grant us the friendship of Hazret Abu Bakr (RA), the justice of Hazret Umar (RA)...

the modesty of Hazret Uthman (RA), the knowledge and courage of Hazret Ali (RA)...

and the valour of Hazret Hamza (RA).

Aameen.

We prayed five times on our foreheads, accept it, my Lord.

Aameen.

Let those who say Aameen see You.

Aameen.

Take precautions, valiants, come on!

Down!

Attack!

Attack, my valiants!

Alparslan!

I am impatient to face you!

My Bey, don't go alone!

Wait, my Bey!

Don't run away like an unleashed dog.

Come to me wherever you are!

Our swords will finally clash, Diogenes.

The dead cannot clash swords with me, Alparslan.

Soldiers, we're leaving!

My Bey!

My Bey! Where are you, my Bey?

My Bey!

No matter what trick you do, this time you won't be able to escape so easily...

from the arena, Alparslan.

Open!

Just as I expected.

It wouldn't be fun if you died so easily like this, Alparslan.

Isn't thaf the horse of the sinister?

Give it to me.

I said give it.

This is Byzantine writing.

So you secretly communicate with the infidels?

Alps, catch this traitor!

Now it's clear what kind of snake you are, Akça Hatun.

It was obvious from the way you approached Alparslan Bey.

You spy!

Arrest her!

Now, Çağrı Bey will have you tell him who you're working for.

Take them out.

Now you are in my hand like a wounded wolf, Alparslan.

Do you remember this dagger?

The dagger with which you made me kill my own son, Yannis...

with my own hands!

- Open! - Stop.

His blood is mine.

Do you know what I admire most about you Turks?

Being brave enough to smile even on the way to death.

What can death do to the one who walks on his shroud?

Death will kill you.

Alparslan!

You...
