THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
My bey, our watchmen...
They spotted some Mongol soldiers patrolling near our borders.
Those bastards have been doing
their dirty businesses with some of the Sultan's men
whom they've been paying for years.
Why are they around now, my bey?
There must be a reason for them to come all the way here.
Since the Battle of Köse Dağ, the State has been in their grip.
They've been all over Anatolia,
creating many problems for the people.
We conquered these lands with our swords.
Worked so hard to make it prosper.
Söğüt...
is the heart of the Anatolia.
It's the heart.
As long as the heart beats for freedom and justice,
there will be hope, Artuk Bey.
The Mongols know this very well...
so they're trying to rip out the heart and wreak havoc here.
Let them be the fire that comes to us, my bey.
We will stand against them like an invincible steel.
For sure.
Take the necessary precautions.
It is obvious they will not go back until they visit the tribe.
As you order, my bey.
-As you order. -As you order, my bey.
Osman!
My Osman! My boy, what happened?
Osman!
My boy, what happened to you?
Osman!
Osman! My boy, what happened?
Osman!
My Osman!
My boy! Osman!
Osman!
My Osman!
Osman!
My Osman!
My son!
Osman!
-What happened? Who did this? -I don't know who.
They had been attacked when we saved them.
-Artuk Bey. -We must stop the bleeding, my bey.
Take him to the tent at once.
-İlçin Hatun, you take care of the others. -As you order, my bey.
-Who would do this? -Hurry up, Artuk Bey.
Savcı, bring my bag of medicines.
My Osman!
Osman!
My Osman! Open your eyes, my lion!
My Osman!
My Osman! Open your eyes!
My bey.
My bey, let me have a look.
God!
Please, don't take him from us.
Amen.
He is breathing.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
My Osman!
He is bleeding.
My lion!
My Osman!
-Mother Hayme, I need hot water. -Sure.
My Osman!
God, please get him healed quickly.
How could they do that? He is just a kid.
Who is this woman, Brother?
Is she good or bad?
Is she an angel or a demon?
Where did she come from?
How's it going, Artuk Bey?
Have you stopped the bleeding?
I will stitch him up now.
He will soon be back on his feet, God willing.
Hopefully so.
Mother Hayme, help me with this.
God, for the sake of your sacred name...
please, heal my boy.
Amen.
Sorry to hear what happened.
Those men...
What did they want from you?
I don't know.
They captured and took us away.
Father!
I'm so tired, Father!
Nea, hang on, my girl. We will be all right.
Why are you doing this to us? What do you want?
Ask this question to your dishonored father!
I don't know what you are talking about.
-I don't know anything. Let us go! -Cut the crap!
-Father! -Father!
-Dragos will make you sing. -Father!
We will see who you are. Get up!
Who is Dragos, Father?
What do you have to say to him?
What are you hiding from us, tell me!
I guess they were going to sell us as slaves.
And where were you coming from?
We were going to Nicaea to visit our relatives.
We will rest here for a while.
How can we escape from them, Father?
Father!
Are you okay?
-The prisoners are escaping! -To the jungle, run!
They're escaping!
Where did this boy come from?
You run first, go on! Don't stop!
Don't try to run, you can't escape.
You messed with the wrong guys, kid.
You will end up dead.
Go on then, let's see who will end up dead.
-Father! -Are you okay?
No!
No, don't!
Show some mercy to the kid!
Allow me.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
I'm sorry for your son, Ertuğrul Bey.
Do you know where this happened, Hatun?
I talked to your alps outside.
The incident took place around the Turna Hill.
Alps!
Slay them all.
No!
Sister!
They were taking us against our will. This brave boy saved us from them.
Hang on, brave boy.
Tell me, who are you?
Son...
Son of Ertuğrul Bey...
Osman.
Who is the man you brought with his family?
Teokles. As far as I understand, he was the target of the bandits.
Then...
Osman bit off more than he could chew...
to save the family.
My father needs to rest a bit.
Did they tell you why they kidnapped you?
A clue, a name?
Dragos.
They mentioned a guy named Dragos.
"Dragos will make you sing," they said to my father.
Dragos.
Never heard of him.
My Ertuğrul Bey said you could stay in the tribe as long as you want to.
Now take a rest.
Thank you. May God protect you.
How many of those bastards did you kill? Are there any survivors?
We counted eight of them.
All dead, including the ones Osman shot with his bow.
I left their carcasses back there and brought your son here.
You were right on time and saved my son.
May Allah bless you and your alps.
Thank you, Ertuğrul Bey.
But the bravery is Osman's to claim.
The poor man and his family would be dead if it wasn't for him.
I'm still amazed to have seen a kid with such courage.
May Allah not separate him from you.
-Do you know who those bandits were? -I know they were non-Muslims.
Were they soldiers?
They were dressed as ordinary men but surely acted like soldiers.
My bey.
The incident took place around the Turna Hill, Bamsı.
Go there at once.
Check the bodies one by one.
Don't come back until you find out who they were, what they were.
As you order, my bey.
As you order.
The Kayi Tribe.
Damn it.
They have Teokles.
How am I supposed to tell Dragos what happened?
Where is the wheat?
Master Mikis. Fourteen bags of wheat are on their way to the villages
around the border, as you ordered.
And they will take the food in the inn
to the other villages with this carriage, just like Ertuğrul Bey ordered.
May God protect Ertuğrul Bey.
And you?
I have some food loaded to my donkey,
I will take it to the mountain villages where there is no proper road.
Okay, but don't be late. There is a lot to do in the inn.
Of course, as you order.
Thank you.
What is this bell ringer doing here?
Bell ringer, what are you doing here?
The priest wanted me to deliver the food given out by Ertuğrul Bey to the villages.
I did so, and I'm on my way to Söğüt.
What are you doing here?
Did you see anyone suspicious, bell ringer?
I didn't see anyone suspicious, sir.
Why did you ask?
There was an incident nearby. Let us know if you spot anything suspicious.
As you order, Head Alp Bamsı, of course.
May God deliver us from evil.
Very well.
Don't spend so much time around here or the demons might strike you.
You are already folded in half. Don't make us worry about your health.
I just got the chills.
I should get to Söğüt.
Very well. You go ahead.
Come on, alps, let's be on our way.
Hatun, who are you?
Where is your family?
I'm a member of the Çobanoğulları.
I came here to buy some goods by order of my father.
We will stay at the inn tonight, and we will be on our way tomorrow.
My bey, Osman is awake.
My Osman.
Father.
Oh God.
Thank you so much, God.
My boy.
Are you okay, my Osman? Do you feel any pain?
I'm fine, Father. Don't worry.
My bey.
Don't be surprised if he suggests going hunting tonight.
My crazy boy. You scared us to death.
Tell me, Osman.
What were you doing there?
Why did you confront bandits all by yourself?
Easy.
I wanted to save those innocent people just like you saved my mom
while you were hunting.
Thanks to this lady, we took care of all the bandits.
İlbilge Hatun.
I can't thank you enough for your favor.
We have a celebration tonight.
We'd love to host you and your alps before you leave.
It's an honor for us. We will definitely be there.
You are so brave, my Osman.
But...
if you happen to be in that kind of situation again,
think about your own safety first, and let the men of the tribe know.
As you order, Father.
Alps!
They fought here.
There is blood everywhere, Head Alp Bamsı.
So where are the bodies?
Bodies, brother...
Bodies were dragged.
Then loaded on horses and taken away.
The horses got heavier.
They were each carrying at least two people.
One of them being a dead body.
Maybe they were not alone, brother.
Let's see.
Let's see who is behind this.
Come on. Let's go back to the tribe and inform Bey Ertuğrul.
Of course.
Come on, alps. Let's go to the tribe.
What happened, Lais? Is it true what Bamsı said?
Is it Teokles?
Commander Dragos, unfortunately, it is the spy Teokles.
And what happened to the men who were bringing Teokles in?
They are all dead.
And Teokles?
Teokles and his family were taken.
By whom?
The Kayi Tribe.
I figured it out by examining an arrow on one of the bodies.
So that's why Ertuğrul sent Bamsı here.
Those fools are trying to find out what happened.
Commander Dragos.
What if Teokles tells Ertuğrul what he knows?
He can't. He is afraid of my rage.
Him being here is very dangerous for you.
Everything will fall apart if he recognizes you.
Send a man to the tribe to find out what's going on.
Find some local guy who goes in and out of the tribe.
Tell him to find out where Teokles is. We will take care of the rest.
As you order, Commander Dragos.
Are the fighters from Constantinople here?
We will meet in our secret hideout tonight.
Good. Go now.
We will deal with the situation before it becomes a real problem.
My bey, did İlbilge Hatun say something
about the bastards who attacked Osman?
They were dressed as ordinary men.
Obviously an attempt to disguise themselves.
This is no ordinary situation, Artuk Bey.
My bey.
I talked to Teokles and his daughter.
Did you find out who the bandits were?
Teokles wasn't able to talk because of his state.
But his daughter gave a name.
Dragos.
They were being taken to this Dragos.
Have you heard of anyone by this name in Söğüt, Artuk Bey?
No, my bey, I haven't.
Dragos.
We need to find this guy, whoever he is.
He might be someone living on these lands.
He can't be living in the tribes, so the only place for him to go is Söğüt Bazaar.
-Take the necessary precautions. -As you order, my bey.
We will go to Söğüt. Keep an eye on the family, Turgut.
There is something precious about them.
Invite them to the celebrations tonight.
As you order, my bey.
Ladies!
Listen to me for a minute.
There will be a celebration tonight.
-Get the meals ready. -Yes, Mother Hayme.
Take back the beverages in the wells, they should already be cold by now.
Sure, Mother Hayme.
Don't worry, mother.
We will get everything ready by tonight with the ladies.
Thank you, my girl.
Take it easy, people.
Thank you, Mother Hayme.
We have ice cold water from the well, Mother Hayme. Have a drink.
My little lambs.
Here you are.
-Would you like some, Mother? -I'm good, pour some for the ladies.
Yes, Mother.
So, you will grow up to be a skillful woman just like your mother, huh?
-My sweetie. -Enjoy your drink.
