THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
You can't find me, but I can find you, my brave men.
My bey is here.
And he is safe and sound. Praise be!
Praise be!
My bey!
My brave companions.
-Praise be. -Thank God you are all right.
Praise be.
My bey, thank God you are okay.
We searched everywhere to get to you.
My bey, is that the golden bow?
My bey.
Say something. Where did the Mongols take you?
What's up with the horse and the bow?
You'll know everything when the time comes, Bamsı.
But...
first of all, we have a very important duty.
What is it, my bey?
Let's find a cave to spend the night. I'll explain everything there.
My bey.
-My bey. -Sure thing.
Praise be.
My Aktolgalı.
Thank you.
Come on, my lions.
Come on.
Thanks.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Why are you not more careful?
-Now, clean the floor with your tongue. -Let the poor man go!
Thanks.
Thank you.
-Can I do anything for you? -Are you the bell ringer?
I serve the clients...
when I'm not ringing the bell.
And clean the inn.
And the stables, if there is time.
And Master Mikis' home, if there is time.
I sleep if Master Mikis tells me to sleep.
Mikis.
Is he the Greek who is in charge of taking care of the bazaar?
That's right, my bey.
He has been veraciously serving for ten years.
He wouldn't be alive, if he hadn't done so, though.
Who would kill him?
Ertuğrul Bey?
Or his son Gündüz?
Or...
Artuk Bey?
You better listen to this poor bell ringer's advice.
Stay away from Gündüz Bey.
What are you hiding from us?
Well...
Say it.
Why should we stay away from Gündüz Bey?
He is the first-born child of his father.
Ertuğrul Bey would kill and die for him.
If you bring me more information,
you'll get more gold.
Thank you.
I told you we couldn't trust these people.
Ertuğrul lives here like a king.
I told you he wouldn't care about us or the state.
You heard it yourself.
My bey, why is this chest in the palace so important?
It's not a mere chest we'll save, Bamsı.
It's the future of our bloodline,
the guarantee of the continuity of the Turkish state.
That's enough information for you, for now.
How will we get to the chest, my bey? Where is its location?
There's a secret passage to the chest.
You'll get to it using that secret passage,
while I talk to Vizier Bahaddin in the palace.
Someone will meet you there.
He was once an enemy, now he is one of us.
Once an enemy.
Now one of us.
Who is he, my bey?
Savcı, put some of those herbs in.
My good-hearted grandson.
Your grandmother would die for you.
Grandmother, did you know about Umuroğulları before?
Yes, my boy. It's a well-known tribe.
Obviously, they submitted to the cruelty of Mongols,
and they worry about keeping the state alive.
That was their greatest mistake.
That woman came here and spied.
Obviously, they thought we'd be weak once my father went to Konya.
They'll get to the other tribes as soon as possible, Gradandmother.
Will we idly watch them ruin my father's reputation?
Gündüz, enough!
The right thing to do is to wait for your father's return.
It's not that easy to stomach their threats, Grandmother!
Gündüz, calm down.
I'm not saying what that woman did was right.
You don't thoroughly think about the outcome...
while you are trying to protect your tribe.
If there had been a clash, many would have died.
We never spill a state official's blood
unless they try to harm our lives.
Don't work yourself up thinking about these things.
Your father will surely find a solution once he is back from Konya.
Where is Osman?
Doesn't he know it's time for dinner?
Osman, what are you doing here at this late hour?
I'd like to see İlbilge Hatun. Is she in there?
She is, but they won't let you in there.
I'll let myself in.
Where do you think you are going, kid?
I have a couple of things to say to İlbilge Hatun.
Tell her Osman, son of Ertuğrul Bey, is here.
Go away, kid! Don't get us angry.
And don't get yourself hurt.
What is going on?
Did you draw a sword to a child?
I have things to say, Hatun.
Come in, Osman, let's talk inside.
Go ahead, Osman, I'm listening.
You listen to your voice of conscience first.
What do you mean?
You saved my life, I'm grateful for that.
You were hosted as an honored guest in my father's tent.
Why did you do all this?
To join forces with your father and cause trouble between us?
How can you say that, Osman? I thought of you as a brother.
Who would lie to the loved ones of their brother?
It's obvious your father doesn't know his limits.
And you! What about you?
I don't let anyone talk badly about my father.
Now that you came with a duty
for our state, and you wanted to settle in these lands,
then, my father would grant you the lands so that you could live happily.
But you crossed the line.
Your older brother Gündüz crossed the line!
Your father tried to seize the tribe like a bandit!
And my brother couldn't control his anger.
But you... You destroyed our trust by lying to us.
You fooled us.
You know, when you put me on your horse and took me to the tribe...
After that, my father would sacrifice himself in order to save you.
What saddens me most is that my father will be disappointed.
I wish you had left me in the jungle so we wouldn't see who you really are.
Osman!
What's up, Bamsı?
I feel like I have horses spinning in my head, brother.
I can't sit still.
Speak up, Bamsı.
My bey, we taught those Mongolian bastards a lesson.
I wouldn't have hesitated even if there had been thousands of them.
But my bey... What are we going to do if the Seljuks are no more?
Turks would be okay with having no food or water...
but they never live without a state.
It's time for those who will rule the world with faith and justice.
We'll establish our own,
free chiefdom in Söğüt.
Allah!
Crows have gathered around...
as they know the state is crumbling.
And those crows offered Anatolia to the Mongols on a silver platter.
My bey.
Are there any others who would fight
against the Mongols, and die for the state except for us?
Now, Anatolia is also our homeland
not just Söğüt, Bamsı.
We are the sons of those martyrs who made Anatolia our homeland.
First, we'll think about the martyrs,
then our children, and then our future.
For this cause, we'd die if necessary.
-For sure, my bey. -For sure.
We'll lean on our minds, faith, and traditions.
For the sake of all the martyrs who lay all around Anatolia,
we'll establish our own state.
The only destiny...
of Turks is...
nothing but their own state.
Oh, my bey!
The shade of the tree we'll plant with you will extend from Altai Mountains
to the Tigris river. And Turks will find peace in that shade.
With Allah's help.
Sooner or later, a powerful Turkish State will be established, Bamsı.
And those who carry the flag will be the ones to establish it.
And those are the Kayı.
-With Allah's help, my bey. -With Allah's help.
For sure.
KONYA PALACE
Stop!
Where are you going?
I'm Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah.
These are my alps. I'm here to see Vizier Bahaddin.
You can't enter this palace as you wish anymore.
Give me your swords.
You know where to wait for me.
Of course, my bey.
I heard a patrol unit
of Mongol soldiers came to your tribe.
That's right.
And you cut off the hand of their commander.
I did.
And here you are...
proudly saying, "I did", huh?
So, you cut off the commander's hand.
Where is the patrol unit?
They were supposed to come to Konya and they're still not here.
What are you up to, Ertuğrul Bey?
They impudently came to my tribe and tried to dishonor my guest.
So, I did what was necessary.
And you can ask the patrol unit
where they have been when they come here.
If you did something that'd put the state at risk,
you'll lose your life, Ertuğrul Bey, don't forget that.
This is the end. Where is the door?
Just be patient, we'll find it.
You! Come here.
Brother, let's do what we are going to do before the soldiers arrive.
-We are stuck here! -All right, Bamsı. Patience.
We'll find it.
There's something odd about this torch.
Bismillah!
Come on, brother.
Allah!
Close.
My Gündüz Bey.
My lady wanted me to hand you this letter.
Gündüz.
I saw Mara leaving.
She brought a letter from Irene.
She wants to meet me tomorrow, Çağrı.
That's good news.
For the sheep born in spring...
the price for a kilo of meat is determined as two Seljuks dirham.
May it be fruitful for all.
May Allah bless you.
Thank you!
How do we benefit from this?
-We say no to two dirhams, Mikis. -We can't accept this price.
Ertuğrul Bey has never let you suffer
in all these years, in spite of the Mongolians cruelty.
That's right, you have a point.
-He is right. -Correct.
-He is right. -Just calm down.
And know that he won't let you suffer in the future, either.
Hopefully so. May Allah bless him.
We are just doing our business here.
That's right, Ertuğrul Bey has never let us suffer in ten years!
That's right!
That's correct!
But he never faced the Mongols before.
He is right.
He was never on bad terms with the Mongols.
That's right! Yes.
And Mongols never doubled the taxes.
That's correct! Yes.
Ertuğrul Bey never cut off the hand of a Mongolian commander in his tent.
Did he cut off a hand of a commander?
Did he?
Just calm down.
Ertuğrul Bey did what was necessary in that situation.
This issue will not affect you.
Ertuğrul Bey went to Konya to find a solution for this issue.
You don't need to be afraid.
Very well, Artuk Bey. But if the price issue isn't solved, we'll suffer.
Yes, it must be at least three dirhams.
Yes.
Yes, three dirhams.
Please do what's necessary.
Do you want to make people starve?
How can the poor eat meat if that's the case?
The price is two dirhams for a kilo.
No way.
May Allah bless you.
You can talk to Ertuğrul Bey if you have any complaints.
And he'll do what's necessary.
This is unacceptable.
We can't accept this price.
May Allah bless you.
I hope Ertuğrul Bey finds a solution for the doubled tax issue.
We have saved the day today, but tomorrow is uncertain.
We should do what we can, Mikis.
Ertuğrul Bey will surely fix this once he is back.
May God help us all, my bey.
Here are the Mongols.
Apparently, they are everywhere in the palace.
So, you came to the secret room. Trespassers don't leave alive.
Attack!
Tell me, who are you?
My name is Almıla Hatun, head of the leather merchants.
My brother.
Mergen?
I just did what our traditions say.
Also, I'm not afraid to lose my life. You should know that.
Now...
I'd like to talk to the sultan about the taxation issue.
I've built an order in Söğüt for years.
Doubling the taxes will disrupt this order.
Ertuğrul Bey.
Hülagü Khan expects to receive the taxes. No need to talk about it.
I'd like to talk to Sultan Rükneddin Kılıçaslan about it.
It's time for Mongolian reign now.
As for the sultan...
he authorized Umuroğulları to collect the taxes.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means from now on Umur Bey will collect the taxes, not you.
Then, he'll settle in Söğüt with his tribe.
That's the sultan's order.
Now...
The beys are waiting for us to talk about the tax issue.
We'll talk about the details there.
You...
How did you...
There is no time to talk about it.
Very well. Let's go to the secret room and get the chest.
Vizier Bahaddin will get the chest and deliver it to the Mongolian commander.
What are you saying?
Are you sure?
I am, Bamsı. We have no time to lose.
Let Ertuğrul Bey know about this at once.
I'll take care of the bodies, you go at once.
Come on, brother.
Let's inform Ertuğrul Bey immediately.
Where is Umur Bey?
He is tired, he needs to rest.
From now on, I'll be fulfilling my father's duties.
İlbilge Hatun, I'd like you to know I'm a medical doctor.
Let me take care of your father.
No need for that.
Our bey will be back on his feet in a couple of days.
We don't let anyone we don't trust near him.
Ataç Bey!
You came to our tribe with no manners.
And you are still acting impudently.
Ataç Bey!
Come on.
We're listening. Say what you have to say.
The documents about the tribe are ready.
I'll prepare the documents of the bazaar by tonight and deliver them.
We'll be done by tonight if everyone knows their limits.
We'll talk business then.
Fair enough.
We'll talk tonight.
