THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
In the name of God.
-Peace be upon you. -And upon you, Ertuğrul Bey.
You are like the ever-shining lamp in our dark nights.
It is a great pleasure to see you here.
Likewise. The pleasure is mine.
It is an honor for me to meet with as brave a man as you,
and one who carries the flag in the name of the Holy God.
Thank you.
Please, sit down.
Ertuğrul Bey.
We are living in difficult times.
Wisdom...
can only be protected under the shadow of your sharp swords.
What makes us strong is the loyalty we bear to God's cause.
For our people,
who are caught in the middle of Mongolian tyranny
and, unfortunately, the inefficiencies of the lawmakers,
with God's help, you will be like a light.
It is always darkest before the dawn.
If God has put a hero like you on the front line against the heathen...
surely, He must have a purpose.
And we pray that...
you and your descendants will achieve this purpose.
God willing.
The Mongols are everywhere.
Your safety is of the utmost importance to us.
Therefore...
I would like to take you to our camp.
You will all be safer there.
Besides, your company will make us stronger.
You think wisely, Ertuğrul Bey.
-Your suggestion is agreeable to us. -Very good.
Don't think about doing something I wouldn't like, Ertuğrul Bey.
Else you'll end up like these alps.
Our quarrel is not with you. Just give us Qunawi.
Otherwise you'll all die.
We would rather die...
than give Qunawi to the likes of you.
Who the hell are you?
Show your faces and fight us like men.
We bring Commander Dragos' regards.
Bastards.
Do not worry. You will follow your alps.
You will answer for this!
Of course we will, of course.
But you'll answer my questions first.
Take the body of our man. Get rid of the others.
Charge! Kill them all!
Nökers, kill them!
Soldiers, kill Qunawi!
You said you wanted nothing of me.
But you should know that...
whoever looks to harm scholars in these lands
will die at the hands of Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah.
God bless you, Ertuğrul Bey.
May He not deprive the Muslim world of courageous men like you.
Thank you.
Please.
-Here they are, Selcan Hatun. -Thank you.
You oversee the women's work, don't you, Hafsa Hatun? Don't you check them?
I do, Selcan Hatun.
But these felts are in a terrible state.
Selcan Hatun.
I take good care of the felts.
Then why are they in this state?
How can I build a tent out of these? Take them away.
Welcome, Mother.
What's wrong, dear? Why were you scolding Hafsa?
I need to keep a close eye on the women in this tribe, Mother.
My dear,
Hafsa bore the weight of the whole tribe when you weren't here.
Besides, she'd never think to answer back. Don't break her heart over nothing.
I'm not doing this over nothing, Mother.
They are lazy because they are spoilt by your smiles.
As they say...
those who sleep through autumn eat nothing but snow in winter.
But don't worry. From now on, everything will be flawless.
Listen, dear.
I don't doubt your diligence.
But please, don't go around breaking people's hearts.
Mother!
I know you don't like that I keep bringing this up.
But I have to mention it again.
What Sırma Hatun said worries me.
What did she say?
She implied that İlbilge Hatun will get married.
You know my views on the Umuroğulları Tribe.
Could they have set their sights on Ertuğrul Bey?
Come on, gather these felts together. We have a lot to do. Come on.
Alps, attack!
Beybolat!
-It's an ambush! Attack! -Defend yourselves, alps.
İlbilge, stay here.
Alps, protect İlbilge Hatun.
We will take steps... without letting anyone know.
Turgut.
You will take the alps with you and follow them without their knowledge.
As you wish, Bey.
Come on, alps.
Come on!
-Those are Ertuğrul's alps. -Turgut Bey!
Come on!
Attack! Allah!
Oğuz!
-Are you all right? -I'm fine.
Come on, my lion. Come on.
We'll get the better of these heathens. Come on.
Oğuz!
Hold on, boy. You can survive this.
You have to...
-avenge me, Bey. -Oğuz!
Oğuz. Oğuz, hold on. Oğuz!
You cowardly scum!
You'll be fine, my lion.
You'll live. Alps!
Quick, get Oğuz to the camp!
İlbilge!
You'll be safe here, İlbilge. We're going after them.
Alps, protect İlbilge Hatun.
Please, come in.
Peace be upon you.
-And upon you. -And upon you.
We are honored by your presence in our tent.
Welcome.
Thank you, the honor is mine.
It is a great pleasure to be here and to be a guest of the Kayı Tribe.
Thank you.
My eldest son, Gündüz.
My nephew, Süleyman.
My middle son, Savcı.
My youngest son, Osman.
Many a youth... grows up to be great,
Ertuğrul Bey.
Right.
May your tribe and family prosper.
Thank you. Have a seat.
Sadr al-Din al-Qunawi...
will be a guest of our tribe for as long as he wishes.
We prepared your tent in advance of your arrival.
You should not have troubled yourself, but thank you.
You are welcome.
You are a student of Ibn Al Arabi,
who decorated our hearts with spiritual wisdom.
It is no trouble.
It is our pleasure to have you here.
Ertuğrul Bey has thought of everything for me.
I'm very grateful.
You're welcome. It is our duty.
The campaign against the Mongols has exhausted us all.
We don't know how long it will last.
We are in a war so demanding that betraying...
any sign of weariness...
could prove to be our downfall.
This fight...
is a fight to restore and strengthen the Muslim world.
At all times...
we can feel the cold breath of death upon our skin.
We walk as though walking upon a grave.
However, God Almighty...
says in the Holy Qur'an...
that alongside every hardship...
there is surely a contentedness.
The harder the fight to strengthen the Muslim world,
the greater the prize that will come with our victory.
That prize...
will be the restoration of the order of the world.
God willing.
All of you, with your faith,
with your loyalty to God's cause,
and with your devotion,
will be the greatest flag-bearers...
in this fight for existence.
For all those who are oppressed and desperate for a breath of life...
and for the followers of Mohammed...
you will be a new hope.
God willing.
-God willing. -God willing.
God willing.
Who are you?
Your new owner.
I'll cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs.
Look at the way you've gathered around a woman like rabid dogs.
Did you think I'd be cowed by your black steel?
Cut me.
Go on, cut me!
It is a shame to spoil such a pretty face with so much anger.
Besides, why would I kill you... when I can make you my slave?
I'll hold you captive in my castle.
I hold everything you have and your own sweet life in my hands.
Now, that wasn't very smart.
Take the gold.
Bring the girl, too. We're going back to the castle.
Get to it!
Where are those bastards? Where are they?
Alps! Leave no stone unturned.
They're not here.
There's no point going any further.
-We should go back, now. -You're right, Turgut Bey.
We killed a lot of them anyway.
They wouldn't dare attack us again.
Alps!
Follow me!
It's not cooked. It's not cooked!
My Hafsa.
We're just back from a fight, and we'll be back on the road again soon.
Isn't there anything to eat or drink?
My Hafsa.
What's wrong, my Hafsa? What's the matter?
You look upset.
I'm fine.
Oh. Oh, my Hafsa.
I know you. I do know you.
Is it... Are the kids bothering you?
When they get in here I'll make shoes out of their ears!
It's not the kids.
It's not them.
My Hafsa, tell me.
Tell me, then. What's wrong?
Bamsı.
Selcan Hatun.
What about Selcan Hatun?
She snapped at me today because of the felts.
Me and the other women have always made the felts the same way.
There's never been a problem.
But...
no matter how much I try, Selcan Hatun is never happy with anything.
Oh, my Hafsa.
My Hafsa.
Troubles have fallen upon Selcan Hatun like an avalanche.
You know, she left her man up there
and came back here with her son and tribe.
And now, she's obsessed with reorganizing that tribe.
It's not you that she has the problem with.
You are right.
You are right, but...
I've worked so hard for this tribe.
I was really offended by the way she spoke to me.
As if I don't know how to do anything.
My Hafsa. My dear wife.
Everyone knows how hard you've worked for this tribe.
Don't worry.
My Hafsa.
Even me and Turgut argue from time to time.
Why?
So that everything becomes better.
My dear Hafsa.
As soon as all this trouble is behind us...
you and Selcan Hatun will get along just fine.
I hope so, Bamsı.
I hope so.
My dear wife.
My pretty wife. God bless you.
Come on now, come on. Feed your man.
I have to go and fight. Come on, my woman.
-All right. -Come on.
Besides, it must be done by now.
It must be cooked. Put it on my plate. Come on.
Bey.
Thanks, sister.
Son. What's troubling you?
Artuk Bey.
It's been some time since he left to give the gold to Beybolat.
Why isn't he back yet? Why hasn't he returned?
-Has he sent you word? -No.
Perhaps he had something urgent to attend to.
Something that's keeping him busy.
He knew Sadr al-Din al-Qunawi was coming to the camp.
Surely he would have returned for that.
I'm going to go to the inn. He might still be there.
Turgut is supposed to be there too.
You saw the ease with which we slaughtered your men.
If you want to live, you'll answer my questions truthfully.
Do you think I fear death?
I have nothing to say to that dog, Dragos.
What about the chest?
Don't you have anything to say about the chest either?
I don't know what chest you are talking about.
We don't have a chest.
We wouldn't kidnap one of Ertuğrul Bey's men for nothing.
You do know where the chest is. Tell me where it is!
It doesn't matter what you do...
I have nothing to say to you.
All right then. All right.
I'll just keep asking you until I kill you.
İlbilge?
İlbilge!
The gold.
Where is İlbilge Hatun?
Where is the gold?
İlbilge Hatun... was kidnapped, Bey.
They've taken your sister to the castle.
How could you let them kidnap the woman you were supposed to protect?
Enough!
-What are you doing? -They've taken my sister to the castle.
I'm going to burn that castle to the ground!
Alps! With me, we're going to raid the castle.
No. You're not going to do that.
Pull yourself together.
You can't just go and attack the heathen's castle.
Do you want to cause war between the two states?
The states?
What states? What states?
My sister's been kidnapped.
Do you think I care if the whole world goes to war?
Go away or I'll kill you too.
What we're going to do first is go to Ertuğrul Bey and tell him what's happened.
But if you persist in this...
you should know that I will kill you.
Do you really think
I'm going to wait for Ertuğrul Bey's permission before I save my sister?
You will do just that!
He is the margrave.
He knows best what should be done.
Look. Look!
Look at what happened because you ignored him.
This time, you'll listen.
They'll be ready and waiting for you at the castle.
If you go rushing headlong in there now...
they'll kill you and İlbilge Hatun.
Now...
for the sake of your sister...
we will go to Ertuğrul Bey.
Do you understand?
There's no other way.
-Tara. -Sir.
-What happened? -We've had word.
Uranus succeeded in seizing the gold.
Good. Good.
We'll be able to buy a lot of soldiers to serve our holy cause with that gold, Tara.
And with those soldiers, we will seize Söğüt so much faster.
Sir, Uranus
has managed to get his hands on something much more important than the gold.
-What? -İlbilge.
She was going to Konya, too.
Uranus killed her alps and captured her, in the hope we can use her.
Great! This is great news.
This is more than I expected, Tara.
Uranus has proved his worth quickly.
Tara.
These days, God hears us much more often.
Much more often.
