NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
Bey.
-Thank you, Hatun. -Enjoy.
-Mother. -Thank you, my dear girl.
Enjoy.
They got what they deserved.
The execution of Günyeli and Acar has taught a lesson
to the traitors left behind.
Doubt does not suit us, I know.
God made my heart ache so much over Günyeli,
that I couldn't keep quiet.
You sensed everything correctly with your beautiful heart, my dear.
You were right all along.
People are capable of anything.
I wish we could suss out a person's personality by looking at their face.
Bey.
Bey, may I come in?
Come in, Bamsi.
Come in, dear. Come.
On this bitter day, you're our consolation.
What is it that you're trying to say but can't, Bamsi?
Bey, I've been trying to think of how to say it,
but I couldn't find a way.
That's why I won't beat around the bush.
Bey, if you and Mother Hayme allow it,
I'd like to tie the knot with Helena Hatun.
What do you think about this, Helena Hatun?
I'd like to leave these sad days behind,
to be Bamsi's companion for life,
to be a consolation for the pain he feels for the brother he lost.
Such nice words, dear.
Such a good thing will be a consolation to all of us in these bitter times.
May God make your home into a heaven.
If you wish to unite,
all I can do is wish you a fruitful marriage.
God bless you, Bey.
God bless you.
Thank you, Bey.
Don't ever upset Helena Hatun, Bamsi.
And you, Helena Hatun, be the cure to all of Bamsi's problems.
Bey... Bey, I could never upset her. I could never upset her.
As long as we have you, we can scale every mountain, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you, Helena Hatun.
Go on then.
Be quick and prepare.
Let's do this in the evening.
Good things should be done right away.
Good. Thank you, Bey.
All right. As you wish, Bey.
As you wish. Bey...
Mother Hayme.
-Congratulations, dear. -God bless my brother!
Thank you, Bey.
Helena...
-Mother. -Bamsi.
Congratulations, son.
Thank you, Mother. Thank you.
Sister.
We should go. We're going.
They executed Teo.
They took Helena from you...
but they took my father and my child from me.
They killed your best soldier...
but they killed my most loyal bey.
They murdered Acar Bey.
They will pay a heavy price for this.
We'll see, Ural Bey.
This will be my last move.
When I go to the village tomorrow,
I will kill every single one of those beys who opposed me!
I will kill off every alp that resists me!
Then...
I will keep the promise I made.
What promise?
When I raid the village,
Ertuğrul’s mother and wife will be at the rug shop.
Revenge!
Sweet revenge.
A taste so sweet that you can't get enough...
even if you eat until you burst.
Do you want me to tell you…
what will happen if you don't succeed?
I...
will have to flip the chessboard over.
If you can't make it,
I will burn down every single village in these lands.
I will kill off everyone.
I fear your anger, Vasilius.
I know what you're capable of.
I will not allow my tribe or the other Turkmen tribes to stay in these lands.
However, when I go into my village to fight for the last time,
I need to know you are behind me.
I will get this done without you needing to get your hands dirty.
Instead of Ertuğrul, it is I who will be in front of you.
I'll stand behind you.
Sword in hand, my soldiers beside me.
Amen.
I'm coming in.
Seeing you like this hurts me, Mother.
And seeing Dündar so helpless and so full of shame pains me, son.
If anyone in my tribe revealed that kind of weakness,
they would've faced the same punishment, Mother.
Bamsi, Turgut, Banu Çiçek, and many alps...
are turning away from him.
He is ashamed.
If I privilege him for being Suleyman Shah's son,
how will I look the people of my tribe in the face?
Ertuğrul, son, he is still so young.
He is too proud to pay this price.
Banu Çiçek and her child paid the price for my brother's weakness.
Dündar took Doğan away from us, from his comrades.
Ertuğrul, you place such a heavy burden on Dündar's back...
that he doesn't know what to do underneath it.
I took away the burden that he didn't deserve.
I did it so that he could face himself.
I wanted him to know what it is to be a bey worthy of Suleyman Shah's tribe.
When you left Sungurtekin, Gündoğdu,
and your many brothers behind, who was with you, son, huh?
You've forgotten about those days so fast.
He must face his shame. This will improve his character.
When he proves himself, he'll go back to being an alp and a bey.
That's all I'm going to say.
It's time for you to be the solution to our problems.
Let's go to Bamsi Alp's wedding.
Look at my brother!
You look so handsome, brother!
Brothers, no wonder Helena Hatun fell for this brave man.
Right.
How wonderful it is that God put you two together.
Be very happy.
Thank you, brothers, thank you. I wish you the same good fortune.
Amen.
Now that you have your lover, you won't ever see us.
Günkut, you're being tactless.
But I won't get mad at you tonight.
He's right, brother.
Your weapons aren't your only companions anymore.
From now on, we'll see you only during wars.
But... But don't say that, brothers. Don't say that.
My love for my weapons is boundless.
This is different.
Besides, I love my brothers...
as much as I love my woman.
Brothers, I feel rejuvenated.
So, brother, is Bamsi Beyrek even stronger now?
Brother, I'm even more eager to cut off the heads of heretics!
Look at you!
-Bless you! -Thank you.
Brother.
This jawshan is our wedding present to you.
Put this around your neck and never take it off.
May God protect you from sharp swords,
evil eyes, and bitter words, brother.
Amen.
From now on, I will never take this off my neck.
Never.
My brothers.
My brave brothers.
May God never...
May God never let us part again. Never.
-Amen. -Brother.
My lion-hearted brother.
Bless you.
Bless you all.
Come on, brother. It's time.
It's time.
It's time to go now. Come on.
Look at the bride, look at her
She's got henna on her hand
Don't say anything to her
Or she'll go back to her home
Her door has henna on it
She's an angel in her heart
Oh bride, God bless your henna
May all your life be sweet
Look at the bride, look at her
She's got henna on her hand
Bless you, Helena. You look so beautiful.
Yes, bless her.
You've helped me a lot. I am grateful to you.
I can't thank you enough.
We've liked you from the start.
From now on, we'll experience the good moments together in our village.
Together, we'll welcome the spring. Together, we'll say goodbye to the winter.
I hope so.
From now on, I'll weave rugs in the workshop, just like you do,
as I wait for my man.
I'll share in your pain and your joy.
Don't say anything to her Or she'll go back to her home
Thank you.
Her door has henna on it
She is an angel in her heart
Oh bride, God bless your henna
May all your life be sweet
Give me your hand, dear.
Don't say anything to her Or she'll go back to her home
Don't be afraid. This is henna.
We apply it on our soldiers and women
so that they sacrifice themselves for God and dedicate their lives to each other.
Look at the bride, look at her She's got henna on her hand
Don't say anything to her
In the name of God.
The henna is kneaded with love...
respect, compassion and loyalty.
Look at the bride, look at her
She's got henna on her hand
Don't say anything to her
Or she'll go back to her home
The henna is applied on our palms...
but its meaning is inscribed on our hearts.
Oh bride, God bless your henna
May all your life be sweet
I don't know why, but I feel like crying.
I can't explain it, but I'm both happy...
and sad.
You're crying, but you keep going. That's tradition.
You're one of us now.
That's why you are so affected.
Don't say anything to her
Or she'll go back to her home
Her door has henna on it
May your home be fruitful...
and peaceful.
May all your life be sweet
God bless your henna.
-Amen. -Amen.
May God protect you from evil eyes, bitter words,
troubles and disasters.
May you have many babies.
May your lineage go on forever.
-Halime, dear. -Give it to me, Mother. Let me put it on.
May your ears never hear a bad word. May you never endure grief.
May everyone who looks at you see the good in your heart.
May you never glimpse an evil eye, dear.
May you never endure any pain.
May your tongue taste only sweetness.
May your home never see cruelty.
May your heart be ever in comfort.
I'm so glad I met you.
I'm glad I'm here.
I want to learn everything about you and your traditions.
Everything.
From now on, Bamsi Alp is both your man and your companion, dear.
He'll teach you everything he knows.
And you'll be his first student.
Go on now. It's time.
Come.
Wait a minute, my dear Çolpan.
Allow me to gaze on your beautiful face...
one last time.
Why are you speaking as though you're giving up, Bey?
Everything is ready. It's time, my dear Çolpan.
I will come to this castle again,
not as a parasite, but as the bey of the Cavdar Tribe.
I'll come back as a powerful, free man and take you away.
For me, what is important is your life, Bey.
Whatever happens, come back alive.
Oh, my dear Çolpan...
If you only knew what I was going through.
Since I was separated from my tribe, I've felt like I was living in hell.
Am I even alive now?
All these years, I served my tribe.
And then I got stuck in this stone castle.
Do you think it's easy for the son of a bey to go through all this?
Now, I have two roads before me.
I'll either get what I deserve,
or I'll die and keep my honor.
God forbid, Bey. If you die, I'll die with you.
Don't worry.
We'll be fine.
We'll take care of this with the support of Vasilius and my beys.
I made a promise, Çolpan.
Our bloodline will go on, but...
Ertuğrul's will end.
Then it'll be this castle's turn.
Your father's castle will become your husband's castle.
I hope so, Bey.
I want my kids to run around and grow up in this castle, just like I did.
One of the things that pleases God most
is a couple being joined together in holy matrimony.
As our great prophet once said,
one person is just a half, and only becomes whole after getting married.
Before His Holiness married His daughter, Fatıma, to Ali,
He summoned them before Him and said,
"Ali, I will marry you to my daughter, but only if you'll be a slave to her.
Fatıma, I will marry you to Ali, but only if you'll be a concubine to him."
They applied this philosophy to their lives.
And that marriage set an example to all humanity.
I hope your marriage will be built upon this philosophy, too.
Amen.
Yes, dear.
Sir, these people have embraced me.
They didn't let me feel the absence of my parents.
They looked after me like a sister without questioning my religion or nation.
From now on, I wish for your religion, glorious Islam, to be my religion.
If you see fit, I want to become a Muslim before the wedding
and then get married.
Our mighty God says in Surah Ali İmran,
"You treated them softly. If you were mean and cold-hearted,
no doubt, they would all leave your side."
Happy are the people who acted according to the holy word...
and happy are you who has decided to be Muslim.
Now, repeat what I say.
May God bless you for it.
Amen.
Now, we need to give you a name that will help you arrive at the right path.
Let your name be Hafsa Hatun from now on.
May God make you neighbors
with our prophet and his blessed wife, whose name you just took, in heaven.
-Amen. -Amen.
Amen.
Ertuğrul Bey, you secured your victory by winning hearts, too.
You helped a person find the right path.
This is the most beautiful victory in God's eyes.
Such a victory could only belong to the bey of beys.
My little... sweet...
traitorous lover.
I'm grateful to you.
You've reminded me why I hadn't loved a woman
in all this time.
I'm grateful to you...
because you've reminded me
why I've encased my heart in iron, just like this body.
You've reminded me why I will never love anyone.
Why I hate women.
Why I hate them.
You will... die... with those Turks.
I will kill you, too, like I killed your father.
Commander!
Lock up this room.
Nobody must ever get inside. Do you understand me?
Yes, sir.
Everyone must keep their hands open. Don't put them together.
We ask forgiveness for all our sins.
Hafsa Hatun, daughter of Andros.
Do you take Bamsi, son of Altuğ, as your husband...
in return for ten gold dirhams?
I do.
-Do you? -I do.
Do you?
I do.
Bamsi, son of Altuğ.
Do you take Hafsa, daughter of Andros, as your wife,
in return for the gold you promised?
I do.
-Do you? -I do.
Do you?
I do.
Witnesses, do you witness this?
We do.
I now pronounce you man and wife in front of everyone here.
May God bless your marriage.
Amen.
Dear God... we witness the marriage of these two children of ours.
May you witness it, too.
Dear God, bless this marriage.
Amen.
Grant this couple peace, love, and stability in their marriage.
Amen.
Dear God, grant this couple
what Adam and Eve had;
what Mohammed, the Great Prophet and Mother Hatice had;
what Ali and Fatıma had:
intimacy, patience and affection.
Amen.
Dear God, grant this couple faithful sons and daughters,
long lives and food in abundance.
Amen.
Dear God, in this world and the next, grant us goodness,
beauty and blessings.
Amen.
And protect us from suffering by fire.
Amen.
Bey.
-May God grant you happiness, brother. -Thank you, Bey.
Brother.
May you be happy, brother.
Thank you, brother. Thank you.
May you be happy.
-Mother. -Son.
I hope you'll be very happy.
Mother.
May God grant you happiness.
May God grant you happiness, Bamsi Alp.
Bless you, ma'am.
Bless you.
Dear...
I hope you'll be very happy.
Be happy.
Thank you, sister. Thank you.
