NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS PRODUCTION

Here.

Thank you.

In the name of God.

Bamsi. Go on.

Eat it.

I will, Hafsa. It can wait.

Bamsi.

What is bothering you? Tell me.

It is Turgut, Hafsa.

Turgut is bothering me.

Turgut?

How is Turgut bothering you?

The place where he will settle the Cavdar Tribe is dangerous, Hafsa.

But Turgut is going his own way.

And when I warned him,

he said, "I am the bey of Cavdar Tribe. I know better than you do.

Mind your own business."

How can he say that?

How dare Turgut Bey say this to you?

You don't deserve this.

Then Mother Hayme summoned me and said...

"Turgut is a bey.

He is in charge.

And you are brothers."

Mother Hayme said well.

You are brothers indeed.

However,

he might be a bey, but you are the head Alp.

And Ertuğrul Bey said you're in charge of the tribe when he's gone.

And you look after the tribe's interest.

Never mind, Hafsa. Go on.

The meal is getting cold.

This is your room, Bey.

Let me know if you need anything.

Thank you. Aziz?

Yes, Bey?

Do you know how Emir Nizamettin died?

Yes, I know, Bey.

That bastard committed suicide because he didn't want to suffer

the consequences of his actions.

How?

With the same poison that he used

to try and kill the sultan at Hanlı Bazaar.

He had it in his ring.

And he was going to kill the sultan with a poisoned arrow.

Are you sure it is the same poison?

That's what the sultan's head doctor said.

You and the head doctor witnessed that incident

at Hanlı Bazaar that night.

-Is the head doctor here? -No. He left with the sultan.

Thank you, Aziz.

That bastard.

It looks like he fooled the sultan too, Ertuğrul.

But we know very well where this poison came from,

and who gave it to the sultan.

Don't you worry, Halime.

The Sultan will learn the truth tomorrow.

I see that you were right about not bringing Ares here, Bey.

Especially after I met with the sultan's wife, Mahperi Hatun.

Just like you said, Halime.

There is a poisonous snake waiting for us behind every door at the palace.

-May I come in, my bey? -Come in, Abdur Rahman.

Speak.

I delivered the loot of Karacahisar to the treasury, my bey.

Good for you, Abdur Rahman.

I want you to stay at the palace tonight

and try to gather information about Emir Nizamettin.

What about Ares, my bey?

When will we bring him to the palace?

You will bring him when I say so, Abdur Rahman.

Before that,

you will try to find Emir Nizamettin's home.

Find his children, his relatives, his family, whoever you can find,

and try to gather as much information about him as possible.

Yes, my bey.

Halime.

You will try to learn something about this from Mahperi Hatun.

Yes, my bey.

Be careful.

Emir Sadettin tried to kill the sultan,

and he killed one of his emirs in his palace.

He would do anything.

I know, Halime.

I know.

Margrave Ertuğrul Bey!

Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey.

Thank you, Emir Sadettin.

You have bedazzled me and the sultan again

with your bravery and determination.

You conquered the mighty Karacahisar Castle

in a way no one ever could.

I hope you sent that bastard Ares's head to his emperor.

Ares is still alive, Emir Sadettin.

So, he managed to escape.

He managed to escape from me twice.

And I couldn't afford a third time.

So...

He is decaying in the dungeon of the castle.

I just wondered.

Why are you waiting to take your and your Alps' revenge

on him, Ertuğrul?

Before I separate his worthless head from his body,

I want to ask him a couple of questions, Emir Sadettin.

What questions?

Until I learn who is behind the assassination attempt of the sultan,

I will not let him die.

The Sultan found the traitor himself, Ertuğrul Bey.

Heaven knows why the so-called traitor Emir Nizamettin

decided to kill himself in the dungeon.

He paid the price for what he's done.

That case is over now.

There are still many more prices to pay,

and many more heads to be taken, Emir Sadettin.

That case is not over for me.

When I meet the sultan, I will have plenty to tell him.

Excuse me now.

Sure.

I will wait for the answers of those questions, then.

Ertuğrul Bey, the conqueror of Karacahisar Castle.

Open the door!

I swear, I will kill you myself, Sadettin Köpek.

My bey...

Have you talked to Emir Nizamettin's family, Abdur Rahman?

No, my bey.

Emir Nizamettin's children, wives, and daughters-in-law

have been banished to Erzurum.

Who was with him when he died?

He was alone in the dungeon, my bey.

The head doctor found his body when he went to check on him.

It is obvious that they didn't want the sultan to question him.

I want to talk to the guards who were in the dungeon that day, Abdur Rahman.

I tried to go to the dungeon to talk, my bey.

But they didn't let me.

Get me Aziz.

He is the only person who can get us into the dungeon.

Yes, my bey.

It is great to have you here,

and share the same meal with you.

Uniting our tribes will make us stronger, God willing.

Hereafter, it is everybody's duty to make this unity permanent,

and not to allow any separation.

You are right, Mother Hayme.

You are right, but I have my concerns about this tribe's place, Mother Hayme.

That place is dangerous both for us and our Alps' safety, Mother Hayme.

I did not want to say anything, but I can't stop wondering.

Bamsi...

I have told you before.

We will post Alps in all directions.

Why don't you understand, brother?

Alps will be on guard night and day.

-Brother-- -This conversation is over.

Brother Turgut...

Ertuğrul Bey said you should build your tribe next to ours, remember?

But if you divide us, it's like inviting the enemy to the tribe.

It will cause us trouble, brother!

Ertuğrul Bey would understand me.

And I am in charge as the bey of the Cavdar tribe, Bamsi.

I won't talk anymore.

We caught the bastard Ares.

And that corrupt Titan is planning something sneaky.

He has lived in our tribe.

He knows the place!

Brother, that heathen will be gunning for us, can't you see that?

We don't fear that bastard, thank God.

While Ertuğrul Bey finishes Ares off, I will be finishing Titan off here.

Don't you worry.

Before my bey returns,

I will finish Titan off.

Good.

Since you are deciding everything by yourself,

since you are doing everything by yourself,

I have no right to speak here.

-Excuse me, Mother Hayme. -Sit down, Bamsi!

We have endured difficult situations.

We had to spill blood...

to unite these two tribes.

And now, you are going to break this unity?

And you call yourselves brothers, huh?

We cannot stand any disputes.

Everybody should know their place!

You will go to Artuk Bey,

and discuss it tomorrow.

Now, eat your meals.

I heard that...

under the sultan's command, you didn't take Nizamettin's ring

when you put him in the dungeon.

He had nothing but his shroud on him, Ertuğrul Bey.

There was no ring on his fingers, or on him.

What is it, Aziz?

Are you still investigating the traitor Nizamettin?

Ertuğrul Bey does.

Emir Sadettin questioned all the soldiers who were on duty that day, Ertuğrul Bey.

Emir Sadettin?

If you still have concerns,

you can read the treason in the letters that were sent by the heathen

in Nizamettin's house.

If Nizamettin is a traitor,

then why would he keep his secret letters

from Bilecik's governor and the emperor in his house, commander?

There are no windows.

So, one of the soldiers must have given the ring to him.

Maybe he poisoned him

and put the ring beside him, so we would think it was suicide.

Ertuğrul Bey, the traitor is dead.

I know what he has done to you, and your Alps.

Your anger is intense. However, this case is over.

I would like to see the letters that were found in Emir Nizamettin's house.

The sultan has the letters with him, Ertuğrul Bey.

We will ask him when he returns.

Why you are not convinced, Ertuğrul Bey?

Anyone can betray us, Aziz.

Many wise men, many scholars, many sultans have gone astray before.

Suspicion and loyalty are what keep us and our state...

alive.

Go on, sisters.

Bismillahirahmanirahim.

Bismillahirahmanirahim.

I remember your father Prince Numan took shelter

in my father Kyr Vart's castle in Alanya once.

He would do anything to save your brother Prince Yiğit's life,

and yours.

You and your late brother were too young back then.

I remember your father's treason, as if it happened only yesterday.

Mahperi Hatun,

my father has never schemed against our state or our sultan.

On the contrary, he stood up...

to princes, kings, emperors, and even the pope,

who were trying to trick him

in order to set him up on the Seljuk throne.

My father only wanted to have a peaceful life with his children.

But they didn't let him.

Besides, your father Kyr Vart was one of the people who tried to use him.

However, we managed to escape from your castle.

Everything is in the past now.

Sultan Alaeddin conquered my father Kyr Vart's castle.

And I have become his wife.

I gave him an heir.

My son, Prince Keyhüsrev.

Life is full of surprises, right, Halime Hatun?

My father was the biggest enemy of the sultan,

and now his grandson will be heir to the mighty Seljuk throne.

I heard that you are good friends with the sultan's other wife,

Melike Adile.

My father sought refuge with Melike Adile's father

as a last resort.

This is when our friendship began.

I haven't seen her for a while.

I heard that she has a brave prince called Prince Kılıçarslan.

They are in Kayseri.

Because she knows that her son will never be...

the sultan,

she and her son don't come to the palace very often.

They prefer a hermit's life.

Distinguished wives of emirs,

I want to welcome our margrave Ertuğrul Bey,

and his wife Halime Hatun to our palace again.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

We can only tire out the Turks with unexpected raids.

We are outnumbered until our army comes to help.

It is a tailor-made job for your contract killers.

Sir, I brought you news from our new spy in the castle.

What does it say?

The opportunity you have been waiting for.

The Cavdars are moving closer to the Kayi Tribe, for their safety.

But the place is dangerous.

An area open for raids.

It is time to raid, Hell Warriors.

Mahperi Hatun is so arrogant.

And very ambitious, too, Ertuğrul.

She is so sure her son will be the sultan,

she doesn't care about anything else.

She looks down on Melike Adile Sultan and her son.

God forbid,

if something happens to the sultan...

That would start a war between the brothers.

While the Mongols are advancing gradually,

a fight for the throne would be the end of our state.

May I come in, Bey?

Come in, Abdur Rahman.

You summoned me, my bey.

You will bring Ares to the palace when I meet the sultan.

Be careful on the road, and when you enter the castle.

Yes, my bey.

Emir Sadettin is so confident, my bey.

It is obvious that he fooled the sultan.

When you come into his presence with Ares,

what if our sultan believes Emir Sadettin instead of you?

I don't care about the consequences, Halime.

God knows best.

I don't fear Emir Sadettin's lies, or our sultan's wrath.

We've never left God's path, thank God.

And I won't lose my way, Halime.

Bismillahirahmanirahim.

Thank you.

Here.

I am going to the castle.

We will discuss the matter.

I hope Turgut will stop being stubborn, and change his mind.

Bamsi...

Don't go so hard on yourself.

You did your best.

Everything will be fine.

I have good news for you.

I have been feeling it.

However,

I didn't want to tell you before knowing for sure.

Now I am sure.

Hafsa...

You mean... You...

Bamsi...

We will have a baby.

You will be a father!

My God!

I'm going to have a baby! I'm going to have a baby!

Bamsi, stop, you are messing up.

I'm going to have a baby!

Hafsa...

So, you are carrying our baby in your womb?

Is our baby in your womb?

Hafsa!

Hafsa...

Is our baby in here?

Hafsa, I cannot hear anything.

Bamsi, how can it make a noise?

My dear baby...

Hafsa, tell me, is it a boy or girl?

I can't know that before giving birth.

Who will our baby look like, Hafsa? I hope it is me.

He'll be like me. He'll start to eat meat when he teethes.

And will drink lots of goat milk.

Hafsa. I want him to be like me.

Okay, Bamsi. Okay.

You go to the castle now. Don't make Artuk Bey wait.

And I am going to see Aslıhan Hatun.

To restore things between us.

Okay, don't you worry about it.

I am going. Don't you worry.

Hafsa...

Our baby, what will it look like?

Will it be a boy who is alive and kicking,

and has long beautiful hair like his father?

Or will it be a beautiful girl, who has beautiful eyes

like her mother?

Bamsi, go on. Have a safe trip.

I am going. I am going now.

I am going.

My God!

You stand over them when they're building our tribe.

Turgut. You were going to discuss it with Artuk Bey.

Artuk Bey will understand why we are building our tribe there.

He knows a bey's responsibility very well.

Don't you worry.

May I come in?

Come in, Hafsa Hatun.

What is it, Aslıhan Hatun?

Were you going somewhere?

I need to be with the people when they're building our tribe.

I am going there.

I will be standing over them until Turgut Bey returns.

It was going to be discussed with Artuk Bey.

We need to do it quickly.

We'll take down the tents, and set them up next to the Kayi tribe, if needed.

Were you going to say something?

Yes.

I have an important thing to say.

Come with me, then.

We'll talk on the road.

And we'll come back before noon.

Okay.

Ebu'l Muzaffer Sultan Alaeddin Kayqubad Almighty.

Welcome, Ertuğrul Bey.

Thank you, Sultan.

You have conquered Karacahisar Castle,

which is worthy of emirs and sultans, and even powerful armies

would need a siege lasting months to conquer it.

You made our state stronger, Ertuğrul Bey.

May God bless you and your kin in both worlds.

Amen, Sultan.

I did my duty as a margrave, Sultan.

And I did it thanks to your trust into the Turks and the Oghuz tribes.

May God make our state permanent,

and make you live long, Sultan.

If you allow me,

I want to give you the loot from Karacahisar.

Bring it in.

When I was surrounded by the enemy,

you expanded my lands, made me stronger,

and brought honor to me, Ertuğrul Bey.

And now, in the presence of the people here,

I would like to give you this royal decree.

I am doing something I've never done before,

and that I haven't done before for any of my margraves, or even for my emirs.

I am giving the Karacahisar Castle, Söğüt,

and even Domaniç to you and your descendants.

Even if I die,

the lands you have conquered will always be yours.

I know that you and your descendants

will expand our lands, strengthen our state,

revive it and make it prosper.

Ertuğrul Bey, may God help you.

Amen, Sultan.

Thank you.

Have some water.

Thank you, sister.

Thank you.

Hafsa Hatun. Are you all right now, sister?

Yes.

I am better, Aslıhan Hatun. Better.

I am so sorry.

I made you stop.

No worries.

What is it? Are you sick?

Aslıhan Hatun...

That is the thing that I wanted to tell you.

I have been praying for a while.

We will have a baby, God willing.

Hafsa! My dear sister.

What great news.

May God let him grow up with his parents.

May God never separate you.

Thank you, Aslıhan Hatun.

These are Turgut and Bamsi's wives.

Capture them alive.

Why aren't you killing them?

I need them to release Ares and will use their wives as leverage.

Hasn't Ertuğrul taken Ares to Konya?

My intent is not to save Ares, Angelos.

I will kill Turgut and Bamsi.

And we will lure them into a trap.

Hafsa, protect yourself!

Attack!

-Aslıhan! -Run!

Catch them.

Tell me, Ertuğrul Bey.

Do you still have doubts

about taking Emir Nizamettin prisoner? The man who trapped you and your Alps

and made you a slave?

Yes, I do, Sultan.

So, that's why you went to the dungeon?

You investigated Emir Nizamettin's death.

Yes, Sultan.

Then,

you will tell me your doubts, in front of the people here.

Let me give you this loot

that I confiscated from Karacahisar Castle

and I believe it will make our state revive and prosper, Sultan.

This loot...

is a copy of a letter that Governor Ares sent to the emperor.
