THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Good of you to come early.
We wanted to help instead of waiting around all day.
My sister loves you, Mother Hayme.
She insisted on going early and working.
Her children will be diligent as well.
I'm grateful. We love her too.
We are grateful.
But we could have taken care of it ourselves.
She's a guest after all.
A guest today, a bey's wife tomorrow.
We help at what we know, Selcan Hatun.
Tomorrow we'll share the same responsibilities.
All right then, ladies.
A woman should work.
Selcan, dear.
You bake the bread with Sırma Hatun.
As you wish.
Right away.
Hafsa, you chop the meat...
with İlbilge Hatun.
As you wish.
Let's get to it then.
Commander Dragos.
You wanted to see me.
Speak, I'm listening.
I'm Emir Bahattin's aide.
The state has started an investigation into his death.
That's why I'm here.
We didn't kill the Emir.
What do you wish to discuss?
We know you didn't kill him.
We suspect Ertuğrul Bey.
Go to Ertuğrul then. Why are you here?
Ertuğrul Bey was at the castle before
the taxes were stolen and the Emir was killed.
He said he made a deal with you.
But he didn't say anything about the details of that deal.
So?
If that deal was about stealing the taxes, tell us.
You won't be held accountable for it.
Our goal is to find proof of Ertuğrul Bey's dirty games.
There's nothing to say.
Look, if you tell us what we want to hear, we'll finish Ertuğrul Bey.
This will be good for both sides.
And our state will show you all kinds of friendship
to protect you from the Mongol threat.
We don't need anyone.
We can protect ourselves against anything in this castle.
Soldiers! Escort him out.
What if Ertuğrul Bey takes this castle?
Stop!
What do you mean?
Ertuğrul Bey will soon prepare to take this castle.
He took the taxes from the Mongols.
And he used us for it.
He killed Emir Bahattin.
Now he moves on to his next target.
Which is?
The castle, Uranos, the castle.
He'll want to take the castle. That's why he'll come.
If you cooperate...
we'll help you stop Ertuğrul Bey from taking this castle.
Ertuğrul Bey is really angry these days.
After all that's happened.
That's what we said. We told the truth.
Was it a mistake, Beybolat Bey?
Of course not.
You're the head of a tribe.
It's your right to do that.
These events are not simple.
Don't you worry.
If Ertuğrul Bey is to be blamed for this...
we'll do what's necessary.
How?
We'll make him pay together.
Never give up what you believe in.
You gave Ertuğrul Bey your sister.
You'll soon be family.
How will that happen?
It's all for the well-being of Söğüt.
Family means little when compared to that.
What would happen to this place, if patriotic beys such as us weren't here?
You stand strong.
I'll back you up no matter what.
Thank you, Beybolat Bey.
Let's wait and see then.
If Ertuğrul Bey is to be blamed, we'll do what's necessary.
That's right.
Excuse me.
Of course.
Yinal!
Yes, my bey.
Come on. We'll go to the Kayi camp.
We have work to do.
How will you prevent Ertuğrul's war preparations?
We'll find out how he's planning to take this castle.
And we'll share it with you.
But only if you give us the information we want.
Let's say you prevented Ertuğrul from attacking the castle.
Then what?
Won't he gather his forces and attack again?
If Ertuğrul isn't destroyed completely, there's no point in any deals.
Don't you worry.
That will happen soon.
How?
The Mongols think that Ertuğrul has a very important chest.
If he's still alive, it's because of that chest.
The Mongols won't let this go,
they'll be here soon.
Nothing will save Ertuğrul once we take the chest.
And if Ertuğrul had a part in stealing the gold...
the Mongols will not leave him alone.
Tell me now.
Was the deal about stealing the taxes?
God bless you, Selcan Hatun.
What happened?
If I hadn't listened to you...
the scum would have fooled me.
Who knows what horrors would've happened?
Those who listen always win; those who don't lose their heads.
You did well too.
You protected your tribe through those hard times.
We can't allow troublemakers to have their way.
We'll soon be family after all.
My sister will be a bride.
We'll be closer.
Indeed.
Honestly, it was unexpected.
We thought Emir Bahattin would marry İlbilge Hatun,
so we expected you to be the bride.
We're surprised that Ertuğrul Bey wanted İlbilge Hatun.
The elders decide all this.
They're in love. My brother gave his blessing.
We can only congratulate them.
İlbilge Hatun.
Don't mind Selcan Hatun.
Selcan Hatun means well...
but she doesn't think before she speaks.
Don't let her behavior worry you.
She hurt all the women of the tribe.
But we know it's because of her pain.
I understand Selcan Hatun.
No worries.
I know what she went through.
She tries to survive here with her son.
It's difficult.
Your face is as beautiful as...
your heart, İlbilge Hatun.
I hope you'll live a happy life with Ertuğrul Bey.
I hope so.
But...
it won't be easy.
Why?
Getting his three sons to love me...
have them accept me...
is no easy task.
Especially Osman.
He's too formal with me.
He thinks I'll replace your mother.
He's angry with me.
Love overcomes all, İlbilge Hatun.
Don't you worry.
Orphaned kids...
their mother is gone.
Soon they'll embrace you.
I hope so.
May I come in, my bey?
Come in, son.
What brought you here?
I have a problem, Father.
I wanted to discuss it.
What problem is that?
Come here.
I'm listening, go on.
You're getting married, Father...
So?
What if you have other kids?
What if you love them more?
Before you seek an answer to this...
you must know what it means to be a father.
Look, Son, fatherly love is such a thing...
that it keeps you warm even in winter.
Because a father's heart burns for his kids and warms everything up.
Can such a fire warm one person and leave another in the cold?
You never left us in the cold, Father.
But I'm afraid of losing your love.
I know what it means to lose a father, Son.
No matter how old you are...
losing a father hurts.
Even if you have the whole world...
you'll always miss the feeling of the support he gives you.
You won't need anything else if your father is there.
A father is like a huge tree:
It might not bear fruit, but its shadow is enough.
May God never take you from us.
I was just worried, I understand you.
I'm proud of you.
But don't rush.
I understood my father when I became a father.
So hold on for now, when you have your own kids...
you'll understand what I mean then.
A mother is a beautiful field you wander in...
and a father is the mountain supporting you.
If you appreciate it, there's no greater treasure than that.
What does our Prophet say about it?
"The will of Allah is the will of the parents."
Thankfully our mountain is here supporting us.
But our green field, our mother...
I never knew her.
Can you tell me about her, Father?
She had very beautiful eyes, Son.
When I saw her eyes, I understood then.
"Now, the world is mine," I thought to myself.
She was a leader.
When her husband was off at war...
she waited without sleeping.
She would stay strong...
against all troubles.
She would warm up the tent...
and she would manage the tribe.
Above all...
she gave birth to three lions.
She was our hearth.
Our food.
Our water.
A cradle to her children and a shield to her husband.
She was worth a whole world...
She gave me three more.
Then she passed and...
went to the other side.
She left you to me, Son.
You are my everything.
I wouldn't want anything else.
Süleyman, what's going on, Son?
What are these?
Did Ertuğrul Bey give you a task?
He didn't but I want to go.
Ertuğrul Bey didn't tell you anything.
What do you want to do?
Will you go hunting, or what?
No, Mother.
I'll go to my father and brother.
My father and our people are left alone out there.
I can't stay here anymore.
Do you hear what you're saying?
You can't go alone.
Enemies and spies are everywhere.
They'll kill you. I won't let you go.
It's better than staying here.
Son!
Calm down first.
We'll talk again with Ertuğrul Bey and find a solution.
Ertuğrul Bey is already busy with everything.
He's getting married.
My father is out there and I'm supposed to have fun here?
Do you hear yourself?
I do, Mother, I hear myself well. Let me go.
I'd rather die.
Calm down first.
Ertuğrul Bey sent word everywhere.
He'll find a solution.
Now...
if you insist on going,
don't you forget this, Süleyman.
If you go...
you'll never have my blessing.
Did you put the syrups in order?
I did, Artuk Bey. In the order you told me.
You must watch the syrups at all times, İlçin Hatun.
The expired ones must be thrown away and reboiled...
to be ready.
As you wish, Artuk Bey.
May I come in, Artuk Bey?
Come in, Beybolat Bey.
İlçin Hatun.
-Welcome, Beybolat Bey. -Thank you, Artuk Bey.
We didn't have a chance to chat.
I owe my life to you.
God protected you for your tribe.
Your time on this earth isn't over.
Indeed.
Indeed, you're right.
I still have...
business to take care of, things to see.
Oh, God! A bottle is broken.
It's just a bottle of hemlock, Beybolat Bey.
We'll make another one.
How did you know it was hemlock?
Beybolat Bey, I lost my eyes but...
my memory is intact.
Thankfully, I remember everything that is on these shelves.
All right.
Excuse me, I don't want to waste your time. I'll go to the tent.
I'll accompany you. Let's go together.
Thanks.
Let's go then, Artuk Bey.
Who are these?
What do you want?
Oh, the Priest!
I talked to you about orphaned kids in need of care.
Here are some of them.
Look how innocent they are.
Bell ringer.
What do you want? What is your purpose?
Take them out of here.
Not a bell ringer!
Commander Dragos.
Dragos?
You... You fooled us all.
May God curse you. Demon!
Shut up!
You are the devil himself.
You sold your soul to Ertuğrul, traitor.
We wanted to bring Söğüt back into Christian hands...
while you did nothing but ring a bell and give some speeches.
I'm going to call Ertuğrul here.
You know what to do.
Priest.
I'll pray to God for your recovery.
Ertuğrul Bey will make you all pay.
What is taking them so long?
They should have been here already.
I hear something, someone is coming.
There they are.
What is this? What do you want?
Berke Khan's chief messenger, we're here to kill you.
Let's see who will save you!
For Allah!
Thanks, brothers.
Who are you?
Ertuğrul, son of Suleyman Shah.
Ertuğrul Bey!
The Priest's condition is critical. He's about to die.
I was about to tend to him.
-Let's go quickly. -As you wish.
I'll get the holy water from the church and come.
All right.
Impressive.
Each Kayi man is a warrior.
Especially Gündüz and Süleyman. Very brave boys.
You saved my sister that day, now she will be an aunt to you...
and a mother to another.
You lost your mother when you were little.
It was the same for me.
I know what it means to be an orphan.
İlbilge became a mother to our tent.
She did her best to make us not miss our mother.
I hope that she'll do the same here.
Beybolat Bey.
Ertuğrul Bey has taken care of his sons for years.
He did his best so that they wouldn't miss their mother
and he raised them to be strong and brave.
He did well.
His responsibilities are heavy.
A woman must take care of all that.
It was time for him to get married.
-Wait here, Abdurrahman. -As you wish.
Go to your death, Ertuğrul.
To your death.
Priest.
The women will prepare the food, if that's okay for you.
It's almost time to eat.
Thanks, Mother Hayme.
My father is never this late. Where is he?
It's unusual.
It's been a long time since the celebration.
Is something wrong, Artuk Bey?
Let's hope for the best.
I don't know of anything.
Let's wait a little, he'll surely arrive.
Let the women prepare the food.
What happened, my bey?
The priest is dead, Abdurrahman.
-Let the Christians know. -As you order.
Abdurrahman.
Abdurrahman. Brother.
Damn it.
-What happened? -I missed it.
Abdurrahman.
Alps!
Hold on, brother.
Brother.
Bell ringer!
Bell ringer.
My bey.
Abdurrahman.
