THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Let's see what Kayi women are capable of.
They're great fighters, but are they good cooks as well?
Hayme Hatun, the Holy Mother of Kayi Tribe.
I know you don't like to see me in this seat
where you have seen your husband and son before.
Don't ever think you can damage that sacred seat.
You can't pollute an ocean with just a drop of filthy water.
Come, sit with us. We have a lot to discuss.
Hayme Hatun, why are you standing?
We don't sit and eat with barbarians.
We respected you as a mother.
But, from now on, we will rule this tribe!
Including the women.
You are not the leading Hatun anymore.
Sırma Hatun will lead the women.
I will do my duty, Commander Alıncak.
We already have order here.
We don't need anyone to tell us what to do.
The Holy Mother of the Kayi Tribe.
All the weapons of the Kayi Alps will be confiscated tomorrow.
Look, I have Ertuğrul's camp.
I have his tent. I have his family.
You don't run this place anymore.
We will see if Ertuğrul is as brave as they say.
I once knew a Mongol like you.
Noyan.
He talked too much, like you.
However, Ertuğrul has vanquished him over and over again.
He will vanquish you, too.
Then we will see who's a coward, and who's brave.
Enough!
Then he can come here and try to save you!
Commander Alıncak.
Ertuğrul is here.
My precious.
My only hope.
You are just as majestic as the mountains, Son.
Don't worry, Mother.
Although we have fallen into contempt, we will stand tall again.
You're as brave as they say, Ertuğrul.
Let's see if you are also smart.
Did you bring what I requested?
I didn't.
Kill him!
You have tortured my people, and taken my son.
But the enemies I've defeated know this very well:
no one can take anything from me, if I don't choose to give it.
I can take whatever I want with my power.
Including your life.
Here I am.
And I didn't come stealthily, unlike you.
I came like a roaring lion.
You can kill me and everyone else here.
But I don't have what you requested.
And I am your only hope to reach it.
Then show us the way.
First, you need to give me the key that will open that path.
What key?
My son Osman.
Ertuğrul Bey.
Commander Alıncak.
We can't solve this matter with swords.
There is no need for weapons, if we can reach a compromise.
You should discuss the matter.
Soldiers, out!
Now, the words you are about to speak will either save your family's lives...
or they will get you killed.
May I come in, Mengü Hatun? It's Melikşah.
Come in, Melikşah Alp.
What happened, Melikşah Alp? Are you going to tell me something?
Mengü Hatun, we don't have much time.
What's this?
Ertuğrul Bey sent this to İlbilge Hatun.
It's a secret. You give it to her without letting anybody see it.
You can't take what you want without giving me my son Osman.
I need to be sure that he's alive before giving you what you want.
You are smart enough to save yourself from death.
But you should know that we're good at negotiation, too.
Go and get me what I want.
I can't do it now. You should give me three days.
I am giving you three days to bring the chest.
If you don't bring it, I will give you your son anyway,
but he won't be alive.
One can achieve great things in three days.
By the way, Beybolat is the new margrave of this land.
You can't just appoint somebody, Commander.
He should earn the title of margrave.
Not hide in the shadow of another sword.
We will figure something out for you.
If we both get what we want...
I will spare your life as long as you obey us.
I don't want to throw a bey like you away.
Unlike a fox, you can't control the wolves.
I will go now.
We will settle the conflict when I'm back.
I don't want my mother and Artuk Bey to sit with you.
Take whoever you want!
Just bring me what I want.
Come on.
Artuk Bey.
Sit down.
Turgut Bey. Head Alp Bamsı.
Welcome.
What are you doing here? You scared me.
We wanted to visit the bell ringer who saved our bey's life, in his home.
Also...
we came here to assign you a duty.
Your wish is my command. I will do whatever I can to help.
Thank you.
Dragos...
He made an agreement with Ertuğrul Bey, bell ringer.
We need to clear this land of the Mongols.
And Dragos knows that very well.
Dragos...
He is a cruel, sneaky man.
That devil man wants to break our brotherhood in Söğüt.
Never mind that now, bell ringer.
From now on...
you will be our communicator between us and Dragos.
Nobody would ever suspect you.
From now on, you will come and tell us everything you learn.
I am just a poor bell ringer,
but I'd be honored to serve Ertuğrul Bey.
I will do whatever I can to help you defeat the Mongols.
Thank you, bell ringer. Thank you.
We will not only kill those hyenas in this war.
But we will also expose the wolves in sheep's clothing...
bell ringer. God willing.
I hope so, Head Alp Bamsı.
I hope so.
I'm fine, my dear.
Mother, what do those bastards want for Osman's life?
I don't know what this mad man wants from Ertuğrul Bey, my dear.
They must have a death wish, Mother.
What about Osman? Where did they take my brother?
God help us all.
Mother, won't those bastards hurt Osman even if they get what they want?
Selcan Hatun, don't worry.
Ertuğrul Bey will save Osman from those men.
I knew this would happen.
I told you! I told you that those bastards
would try to take possession of our tribe.
I know about those bastards. When they take a place--
Selcan!
Selcan, that's enough.
That's enough, my dear.
When a camp falls apart, it's the women's job to build it up again.
Our job is to follow Ertuğrul Bey's orders strictly.
The Kayi women are here.
I was looking for you.
What is it, Sırma Hatun?
As you know, I will lead the women from now on.
And we will start working early in the morning.
I came to say that.
We know our jobs very well. There is no need for arrogance.
Of course, you know your jobs. But I am responsible for you.
I am in charge of you.
I have no tolerance for laziness. You should know that.
Mother.
God, why is this happening?
Brother, what are you planning to do?
-Where have you been, Mengü? -I was looking for you, ma'am.
Melikşah Alp brought this just now.
What is this?
Ertuğrul Bey sent it to you. Melikşah Alp said it's a secret.
İlbilge Hatun, I know you are a righteous woman.
Now it is time to show this again.
I want you to act like you're against me, and gather information.
Osman's life depends on the information you will gather.
Come to the Karaçam Road,
I will find you there.
God help Ertuğrul Bey against those barbarians.
What are you doing here?
I came to talk with our margrave Beybolat Bey.
Beybolat Bey is talking with Commander Alıncak. Come back later.
Come to your senses!
I'm the sister of our margrave Beybolat Bey.
Can't I wait in the tent?
You can't. His orders are strict. Go to your tent.
Then go in there, and tell Commander Alıncak,
"Our margrave Beybolat Bey's sister İlbilge Hatun is here.
I'm kicking her out."
We will see what he orders.
Wait outside the tent.
We will discuss important matters inside.
Make sure no one enters.
Come on, what are you waiting for? Are you going to eavesdrop on us?
Did you send a messenger to Dragos, Subutay?
We did.
We told Dragos that you want to meet him at the inn tomorrow.
-He said he's coming. -Good.
Let him come.
I will talk to him this time.
We will see if he acts wayward again.
You made me the margrave.
But you want to cooperate with the former margrave, too.
What does it mean, Commander Alıncak?
Beybolat...
don't you know anything about politics?
I just threw Ertuğrul a bone for now,
I will poison him when he brings me what I want.
I will not spare his life, and won't give his son Osman back.
What are you going to do to Osman?
Just like all the other children we took from the tribe beys,
I sent him to our secret place.
I will make him a mankurt, and he will be loyal to us.
And when the time comes, I will kill Ertuğrul and his sons...
and make Osman the bey of the Kayi Tribe.
Oh, my God! Osman.
We need to find out where Osman is.
God help us all.
Sister? What happened? What are you doing here?
We were preparing a bed for you.
I came to ask if you need anything.
No, I don't, Sister. Thank you.
İlbilge.
You see what Ertuğrul has caused, Sister.
Are you still on his side?
I am on the side of our margrave and our tribe.
I will do what my margrave commands.
And Ertuğrul Bey will pay for his crimes.
That's my sister.
Good for you.
Let me go!
Let us go!
Let me go!
Let us go.
Let us go!
Even the sun cannot block the host of the high mountains!
Holy spirit of the sky...
the great Tengri!
I owe you everything.
My blessed steppe, beech trees...
the stars in the sky...
the unreachable sun...
sheep herds that will breed...
my raging fire, my souls!
And the children being fed!
Shave their heads.
Wrap their heads with camel skin, and expose them in the hot sun.
And every day...
whisper in their ears, "I am a soldier of Genghis Khan."
So it will be engraved in their brains.
We became strangers in our own land, brother.
We had to abandon our children, our camps.
Now the enemy is walking on our land, brother.
And it hurts my heart.
We are all hurt, brother.
Our hearts are burning...
and if we don't put that fire out...
it will burn us all down.
May God help us all.
Amen.
Tell me, brother Mergen...
We've been waiting here for so long.
Are you sure that their messengers will pass here?
The messengers that Ertuğrul Bey mentioned will pass here.
I am sure, Head Alp Bamsı.
The Mongols have messengers who bring messages to Söğüt.
Alıncak gets Hülagü Khan's orders via these messengers.
We will ambush them.
How are we to do this?
Hülagü has sent a message to Alıncak.
We will attack them on the road, and make them speak.
And then, Mergen will infiltrate them.
From now on, all of Hülagü's orders will come to us, thanks to Mergen.
Bey, how did you learn this?
Thanks to our state's honorable followers.
The bastards are coming.
Come on, brothers.
Come to me.
Mergen!
What are you doing? Let me go.
That message will be your death warrant.
Do you know who you are messing with?
You have a lot to say.
Start with your name.
