THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS DEPICTED HERE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR HISTORY
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION
-May I come in, Mother? -Come in, son.
Mother... I know.
I know that you're deeply saddened by what's happening with Dündar.
It breaks my heart to see you in so much pain.
Dündar is not only your son, he's also my brother.
I can't bear the thought of losing another brother.
Let's give him some time for now.
Give him a chance to come around.
Dündar isn't stupid.
He'll come back to his tribe, sooner or later.
And if he doesn't?
What if he gets lost in no man's land?
Dündar Bey is a bey of this tribe, Mother.
I could no more be separated from my brother
than fingers from fingernails.
This is the promise of the son of Suleyman Shah.
I'll bring Dündar back. You must stay strong.
I hope so, son. I hope so.
My brother is like an arrow...
released from a bow.
He'll find his way back to his tribe.
Be strong.
I hope so.
Excuse me, Mother.
Let's go, alps!
My Bey! My Bey!
My Bey!
Where are you going without me?
You just got married, Bamsi. Spend some time with your wife.
You deserve to, after all.
Now, I can't have that, my bey.
How can I relax while Dündar Bey is missing and there's a council meeting?
We can rest when we're in our graves, my bey.
-Very well, brother. -Thank you, my bey.
Let's go, alps!
-Let's go! -Come on!
Hafsa Hatun, what's going on? Is there a problem?
-Where is Bamsi? -There's no problem, Halime Hatun.
Bamsi has gone to the inn with Ertuğrul Bey.
And I was waiting for you here.
Mother, you don't have to go to the rug house today, we can handle it.
That wouldn't be appropriate, daughter.
Many mothers have lost their children in war, yet they still do their chores.
How can I not do mine?
What are you doing here, my girl? Go to your tent and rest.
Mother Hayme, I'd like to go to the rug house
and work with the other women, if you'll let me.
Now that I'm a woman of this tribe, I need to work and contribute,
isn't that right?
-Whatever you want, my girl. -Come.
-I'll teach you how to do it. -That would be great.
If you have a problem, you know where I am.
Excuse me.
Banu Çiçek Hatun?
When the time comes, and our tribes go their separate ways,
where will I find you?
Know that... you'll be always in my heart.
Doğan Alp.
My boy...
It is only you and me.
Everyone went their own way.
You are the only thing that keeps me going now.
Every morsel I eat,
every breath I take, is for you.
You are my Doğan's gift to me.
It's all right.
No, I won't lose you too.
You'll be born.
You'll be my Doğan.
You'll complete whatever your father...
left incomplete.
Dündar!
You're paying the price for your mistake now!
You have neither a tribe nor a home to go back to.
You left your mother in tears.
You are no good to anyone.
So, Ural Bey, you are finally going back to your tribe?
I've missed the earth, the weather, the water of this place, so much.
But...
I've missed the taste of victory even more, Vasilius.
Those bastards!
They're heading to the Cavdar Tribe.
These are blessed days, my bey.
Alps! Good hunting!
Relax. Have fun.
But, when you get back to the tribe,
I want you all alert and ready.
-Understood? -Yes, Bey.
Go on, then.
You're responsible for security.
Don't worry, my bey. I'll take good care of the tribe.
Remember,
too much or too little of anything will ruin everything.
Run away from those two as if you were running from lions.
Act decisively and appropriately.
Yes, my bey. Thank you.
Come on!
Send a messenger to Cayiralan immediately.
Tell Ural Bey that Aliyar has gone and the operation can begin.
Yes, my bey.
I smell blood.
There's a smell of blood in the air.
That is the smell of my enemies, Vasilius.
It is the smell of revenge.
Are you certain you want to go to your tribe without me?
I could make things easier for you.
Not now, Vasilius.
They won't obey me if they see you with me.
And afterwards? They'll see me then.
By then I'll be the leader of the tribe.
And maintaining good relations with my neighbors
will be expected of me.
You are good at politics.
You've learned a great deal from Emir Sadettin.
So I have.
But there's one thing he'll learn from me.
Everyone pays for their misdeeds.
Let him pass.
Welcome, my bey.
Thank you. So, where are we?
All is well, my bey. Aliyar Bey went to the inn with the alps.
What about my men? What about my alps?
They are ready and waiting for you.
Do we have a secure route?
Our alps are standing guard at the back entrance to the camp.
No one will stop you, my bey.
The time has come. Let the coup begin.
We've waited so long. But it'll be worth it.
At last, Ural.
At last, everyone will get what they deserve.
-My Bey. -Artuk Bey.
-Welcome, my bey. -Thank you, Artuk Bey.
When did you arrive?
Just now, bey. I came straight to the inn.
I decided to wait for you, since there's a meeting.
Well done. What's the situation?
I have some important news for you, my bey.
But it can wait until after the council meeting.
Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey.
Thank you, Aleko. Thank you.
Let's talk while we're waiting for the other beys, Artuk Bey.
I want to hear what's on your mind.
My bey, all the other beys are here. They're waiting for you.
They're here already?
Exactly, my bey. I was surprised, too.
They've never arrived so early.
Well, then. Let's meet them.
This way, my bey.
Keep an eye on the tribe. Let me know of anyone who comes and goes.
Yes, commander.
He's here.
-My beys. -Welcome, my bey. We're honored.
-The time has come. Is everything ready? -Just as you ordered.
The swords in the training field have all been seized.
Our alps are at their posts, waiting for the signal.
What about Aliyar's men?
We've lured them into a trap. They've gathered in the tent.
Good. Let's not keep them waiting, huh?
Let's go.
Turkish rugs are known the world over, due to their tightness
and the vividness of their colors.
You must knot it in such a way
that it's as tough as armor when it's finished.
But be careful with the patterns.
Now, knot five times to the right and five times to the left.
Like this.
Come on, you try now.
-Thank you, Halime. -In the name of God.
If you knot them with your love nothing will tear your rug.
Thank you, Halime Hatun.
Take the one from the back.
You have skillful hands, Hafsa.
You go on, take your time.
Mother.
I know you're thinking about Dündar Bey.
But you must pull yourself together, Mother.
I don't want to see you in so much pain.
Neither would Dündar Bey.
I'm telling you, he'll be back soon.
Being a mother
is like sipping at sour milk, my girl.
I hope you never experience the sort of pain I'm suffering.
Mother, Aslıhan Hatun is coming.
Aslıhan Hatun! Welcome!
Thank God.
-I'm so happy to see you here. -Welcome.
-Welcome.
-Mother. -Welcome, my girl.
Thank you.
-Welcome, Aslıhan Hatun. -Thank you.
-Welcome. -Welcome, Aslıhan Hatun.
-Thank you. -Welcome.
I've missed you and my home so much.
We missed you, too.
Bring some yogurt for her.
Come and take a seat. You've come a long way.
Thank you.
Go ahead.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
With the 99 names of Allah who protects and forgives.
Amen.
May our council cause greater good.
-Amen. -Amen.
The council is honored to host the leaders of the Turkmen tribes.
Thank you, my bey.
Honorable beys of the Turkmen tribes.
We are ready to implement the Sultan's orders.
There are no more obstacles in our way.
Vasilius may have wanted to prevent us from going ahead,
but he has now tasted the bitterness of defeat.
We heard about your victories, Ertuğrul Bey. You've made us proud.
You hanged his commanders at his castle. You made us all proud.
You took revenge on those bastards who murdered my father.
My tribe and I will always be at your side.
Your father is an honorable martyr, who died on the way to the meeting.
It is now your duty to wave his flag.
Vasilius paid a heavy price. He can't do any more harm to you now.
I hope it is as you say.
A thug like Vasilius won't just sit in his castle and wait for death.
We don't intend to leave him waiting long.
Neither Vasilius, nor Ural who took refuge in his castle,
can prevent us uniting.
May I?
Dündar?
Where have you been, brother? What is this?
We have a problem, brother.
Ural and Vasilius are heading towards the Cavdar Tribe with soldiers.
What about you, Dündar?
Let us through, alps.
-Who are you? -The leader of Cavdars.
Ural Bey.
Traitor!
Kutluca!
Don't worry, he'll die too.
Kutluca Alp!
Two alps and a hooded man just went into Kayitmaz Bey's tent.
They looked like trouble.
This is not good at all. Let's get over there now.
What's going on here? Ural doesn't have anything to do with Vasilius.
Something stinks here.
Ural is taking advantage of my absence
to attack me with that bastard Vasilius, Ertuğrul Bey.
How could they have known you'd be here, Aliyar Bey?
Council meetings are held in secret.
This meeting is just part of Ural's game.
How come? What do you mean, Ertuğrul Bey?
There are traitors here among us who have collaborated with Ural.
Who are they, Ertuğrul Bey?
Your words affect all of us. If you know something, speak.
It's obvious who they are.
Samsa.
We haven't done anything, Ertuğrul Bey.
Stop! Stop!
Stop! What are you doing? Stop!
We are innocent, Ertuğrul Bey.
It's all lies, Ertuğrul Bey.
We didn't do anything, release us.
-We're innocent, Ertuğrul Bey. -Stop! What are you doing?
We didn't do anything, Ertuğrul Bey. This is a slander! A slander!
Forgive us, my bey. We made a mistake. Forgive us, my bey.
Spare our lives and we'll tell you everything we know.
You'll be telling it to God.
This is that bastard Ural's last day.
He will not deceive anyone ever again.
My people are in danger, Ertuğrul Bey. What are we going to do?
Ural will have taken precautions.
So we'll be cautious, too. Now, listen to me carefully.
Bastards!
I won't let you get away with this. I won’t!
Go to the inn right away and tell Aliyar Bey what's happened.
Tell him his beys have been murdered and that he must come back immediately.
Yes, commander.
Don't let anyone see you, use a hidden path. Go on!
-Don't worry, sir. -Go!
What's wrong, Urkmez Bey?
Something's going on. I just saw Kutluca Alp running to the training field.
-I shouted, but he didn't hear. -What are you saying, Urkmez Bey?
Enjoying your meal, beys?
Ural Bey!
Well, you've had your fill. Now it's my turn.
So, revenge actually is sweet.
Ural Bey, everything is ready at the training field.
Good. The traitorous beys are dead.
Now it's the turn of those traitorous alps.
Go to the rug house. You know what to do.
Very good. You've finished the job. God bless your hands.
Thank God it's done.
The women will align the rugs before they're delivered to the Franks.
I'm so happy you married Bamsi, Hafsa Hatun.
Your name is as beautiful as your face and heart.
Thank you, Aslıhan Hatun.
As you say, now it's your turn.
Amen.
How are you, my girl?
Was everything all right on your trip?
I'm fine, mother.
I met Emir Sadettin's mother while I was there.
She liked me, and I liked her. I left there with good memories.
That's what your tongue says, but your eyes say otherwise.
I hope there weren't any difficulties. We weren't expecting you back so soon.
I felt homesick, Mother.
Whenever I went outside
all I wanted was to see the land of my home and my tribe.
I missed it so much. So, I came back.
There's nowhere quite like home.
But as time goes by, you'll feel your home is by your beloved one's side.
This is the land of my birth, Halime Hatun.
That can never change.
People can be only sure of their home.
Brave Turkmen beys.
You know what to do.
We do, Ertuğrul Bey. There's no turning back from this path.
May God help us, Ertuğrul Bey.
-Amen. -Thank you, Aliyar Bey.
We either put an end to this wickedness or we become martyrs together.
-Artuk Bey. -Yes, my bey.
-You'll come with us. -Yes, my bey.
I've missed the sound of my sword. Now it'll be music to my ears.
-May God help us. -Amen.
Come on, my girl. You've only just arrived. You should be resting.
We can handle this.
I've been resting for a long time, Mother. I've missed working. Let me help.
As you wish.
You are precious to us. Your wellbeing is important.
-Take good care of yourself. -Thank you.
Halime Hatun. Why are those alps staring at us?
It looks like they have a problem, Hafsa.
Mother.
Mother Hayme, what's going on?
It's obvious what's going on. Treachery!
Ladies, brave ladies.
We face treachery. On your guard!
Women of Kayi. You will come with us.
What's your problem?
What do you think you're doing, pointing your swords at women?
Do as I say.
What are you talking about? Stay back!
Be on your way, go on!
You'll do as we say if you want to live.
No mercy will be shown to those who resist.
Very well, come on then.
Halime, Aslıhan!
Stop, girls.
Whose dogs are you?
Tell me.
Who made you so shameless that you would point your swords at women?
This is Ural's doing, Mother. It's obvious.
These are Ural Bey's orders. Give up your daggers and surrender.
You traitors.
You pig!
Did you really think you could get away with this, you bastards?
Let me go! Mother!
-Let her go. -Let her go!
Drop your weapons or I'll kill her.
Aslıhan, my girl.
Mother.
Are we going to surrender, Mother?
Ladies.
We'll wait for Ertuğrul Bey.
Take them prisoner. Take them to the tent and tie them up.
Let go!
Shame on you.
We need to find Ural. Let the other alps know.
As you command, Kutluca Alp.
Looking for me, Kutluca?
You bastard!
Traitors! Filth! You'll get what you deserve.
I've brought what you deserve, Kutluca.
This one's mine. Come.
What happened, Kutluca? You're on your knees.
I told you. You should've listened to me.
You've killed your brothers.
No betrayal will be left unpunished!
Stay loyal to your traditions.
Well said, Kutluca. No betrayal will be left unpunished.
And my alps will do what our traditions demand.
I'd have preferred you alive to witness my victory.
But we can't keep the hellhounds waiting.
I won't be going alone, Ural.
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah...
and Muhammad is his messenger.
Get everyone into their tents!
Punish anyone who refuses to obey.
-Go on. -Yes, my bey.
-My bey. -Did you take the women to the main tent?
Yes, my bey. Aslıhan Hatun is there too.
She resisted, my bey. We had to take her hostage as well.
-How about the people? -They're resisting, my bey.
Don't worry. I know how to silence them.
Come on!
