16th Episode --- (Part 1)

In Forest

At Wolf Hill Top

Osman : "You offered me the Sanjak Beylik in exchange for my life... but I promise you an honorable death, Balgay!"

Kongar : "Commander Balgay! How did Osman know we were coming here?"

Balgay : "Before I cut his tongue out, I will learn that, Kongar."

Osman : "You spread fear to the entire world with this cruel sword... but to add to that, you dare attack my heart!"

Balgay : "I will tear your heart out, Osman!"

Other Part of The Forest

Cerkutay : Ambush! How could you forget the Mongol's malice so quickly, Samsa ?"

Samsa : "Balgay is finished! He cannot save himself from Osman Bey's claws now. You worry about yourself!" "There must be more men near Cerkutay... Their main force is likely with Balgay. We must hurry to help Osman Bey! Move!"

In Forest

At Wolf Hill Top

Balgay : "Before I dry up your well, I will enter your chest... and roast your heart in the fire of my blood!"

Osman : "I will be your hell!"

Dundar : Osman ! I've come to take your life Osman .

Sungurtekin : Slaps Dundar again then says you said you will ask Osman about Batur's murder , my brother Dundar

Kongar : "Your end has arrived, Osman..."

Balgay : "What's this? Your uncle has arrived... aren't you happy, Osman?"

Dündar : "You killed my son! You killed my Batur, Osman! You stained the tent of Suleyman Shah with brother's blood! May you drown in your own blood!"

Sungurtekin : Takes away Dundar's sword and everything then tells him now ask what you wanted to ask Osman .

Dundar : Osman ! Did you kill my son Batur or not tell me?

Osman : No , uncle I left Mongols camp when uncle Sungurtekin left to be at Kayi tribe again . But here I see foul play but somone clearly wants to create division between me and you uncle .

Sungurtekin : Did you heard this Dundar Osman did not killed Batur

Dundar : Then who killed my son Batur

Osman : Someone who hates kayi people and me , uncle .That's why I was framed in murder of Batur .

At Kayi Tribe

In Dundar's Tent

Batur's body is wrapped up with his sword laid upon him Zorah is kneeling Beside him weeping:

Zohre : If you saw me what would you say? Son l am crippled my wings are broken. My heart yearns for my blue-eyed love if you saw my condition would you say. Wait a moment Mother? How do you hear this pain, my son? Oh if only you hadn't gone after Gunduz, even if they cut out my tongue-l did it to protect you, my son, l could never hurt you, l wanted to protect you l wanted to take care of myself ; my heart is grieving my son.

Aygul : enters and walks slowly; she sits down and weeps over her brother's body while Zorah cries.

Aygul : Mom, my mind can't wrap itself around this. Would Osman ever harm my older brother Batur?

Zohre : Aygul, you don't know Osman; he killed your brother. Do you still feel sad for him? Then let your heart rot Aygul let your heart rot. That's how it was when Osman was growing up he acted like a madman doing whatever crossed his mind. Neither his father nor Dundar could control him. l told them it would be us doing but they didn't listen to me l couldn't get them to listen to me. It was my son who suffered the consequences. Bamsi, Abdurrahman, Gunduz, Selcan.

Zohre runs her hand over Batur's sword.

Zohre :They stood behind him; they didn't let him fail, they didn't let him falter, yet in the end, they took my son's life, but they always protected Osman.

Alp: Can l enter Zohre Hatun?

Zohre : Enter.

Alp enters and places his hand on his chest out of respect.

Alp: Selcan hatun and her sister Gonca Hatun loaded their horses onto the horses.

Zohre : Really, Oh, Selcan hatun, oh! May it be forbidden for me to bury my son until his blood flows like a river.

Zohre : gets up and takes Batur's sword.

Aygul: Mother l beg you to come back to yourself.

Zohre : Rise up and take up your weapon- they did this to my Batur. They will surely drown in their own blood. Rise that refugee shall answer for my son's death my Batur blood and l shall exact it by the sword of Batur.

Aygul: Selcan hatun has her warriors; they won't let us go. Please, for the love of God, don't do it.

Zohre : Don't we have our own Alps? Go send word to the Alps.

Aygul: Mother

Zohre : l told you to put on your weapon. My heart won't be at peace until l make that woman vomit blood Come on.

Zohre gets out of there quickly.

In Forest

At Wolf Hill Top

Osman : I did not kill Batur , uncle can't you see it someone trying create rift between us

Dundar : Then who killed my son Batur , Tell me ?

Mongol Soldier : Tries to attack Osman from behind

Samsa : Kills him with an arrow .

Osman : Turns and says Samsa !

Sungurtekin : Watches everything

Samsa : Come on , brave men ! Strike , brave men , leave no one alive !

Alişar : "Come on, braves! Strike, braves! Leave none of them alive!"

(Alişar Bey hides in the brush with a drawn bow, taking aim at Osman Bey while Dündar Bey fights alongside him with words )

Alisar : "You are going to die, Osman."

(Alişar releases the arrow, but it strikes Dündar Bey in the back instead as Osman turns away.)

Alisar : "You escaped once again..."

(Dündar Bey grunts in pain, collapsing into Osman's arms while heavily bleeding.)

Dundar : "Osman... May you drown in your own blood... Osman..."

Osman & Sungurtekin : Both holding Dundar Bey together .

(Seeing the battle shift, Balgay turns to his commander Melik.)

Balgay : Genghis Khan says: 'He who fights knowing he will lose is a fool.' Move!

(Osman and Sungurtekin cradles the wounded Dündar Bey and shouts orders to his commanders.)

Osman : Konur! Follow Balgay! I want both of them, dead or alive. Go!"

(Alişar watches from cover as Osman tends to Dündar Bey.)

Alişar : "Osman... I swear by my oath, your destruction will come by my hands.

Melik : But Dündar Bey is dead...

Alisar : He must not die, Melik! He must not die! I need Dündar! We will not take our eyes off them." Osman... When the time comes, I will tear you apart with my own hands!"

At Kurgan Valley

Gonca : If Zöhre heard that we left the tribe, she must have come after us.

Seclan : The Kurgan Valley is close. If she is coming, let her come-she will get what's coming to her! Come on, no stopping, onward on the road!

(Meanwhile, Zöhre Hatun and her warriors ride aggressively.)

Zöhre Hatun's Companion: They are going to the Kurgan Valley. We will step right out in front of them!

Aygul : Mother, don't do this! Come, let's go back! We left my elder brother in the tent, I beg you, don't!

Zöhre : You go back if you want! I am in pursuit of revenge for my child! I will not leave until I take his life! Now listen to me carefully! From here on, we will take the path with our blades drawn! Osman is the killer of my child, and of your Batur Bey- she is Osman's accomplice! Today is the day of reckoning! There is no returning to the tribe without cutting off their breath! Move, come on!

At Near River

Kongar : They are following us, Commander Balgay. You are wounded. We must lose our trail!

Balgay: The water erases our trail, not our anger!

(Osman's men arrive at the river bank.)

Boran : They entered the water to lose their trail, brothers.

Konur : We will not stop until we find where they stepped out! Let us hit the road, my brother.

Boran : When we find them, you will leave them to me!

Konur : Do you think I will listen to him again? Know that this time I will not look at anyone's tears, Konur!

Boran : But brother... I don't want you to stain your hands with your brother's blood.

Konur : He is not my brother! For the sake of my father, whom they shot in the back, and my mother, whom they plundered-his blood is lawful for me to shed! Eyvallah, my brother! Yah!

At Wolf Hill Top

Osman : What happened to Batur? What happened to Batur?!

Sungurtekin and Aybars : Watching everything and taking care of Dundar .

Saltuk : You ask as if you don't know! You killed Batur and sent his corpse back to the tribe on a horse-what more do you ask, Osman?!

Bamsi : What does he say?

Osman : I don't understand...I didn't understand , Bamsi Bey , But we will understand soon. Right now, what matters is Dündar Bey. He is alive, and what he has to say is vital.

Samsa : It means his suffering is not over yet.

Aybars : Sencer... Sencer is also alive.

Osman : Abdurrahman Gazi! Take uncle Sungurtekin , Erkut and Kılıç with you. Take Dündar Bey and these two to Mother Elif. The cave is at the foot of the Sahin Rocks.

Abdurrahman : We will arrive soon .

Osman : But Dündar Bey must live! You understand, right?

Abdurrahman : Don't worry, Osman.

Osman : The traitor who killed Batur and sent Dündar Bey after us is the very same idiot . Whoever this stupid is, we can learn it from Dündar Bey. Come on, prepare a sled! Stop right there! Hold on! Who told you that we were here? Who?! Speak! Speak!

(Flashback scene)

Saltuk : Someone I have never seen before told me!

Dundar : Who sent you?

Melik : Balgay sent me!

Dundar : What does he want ?

Melik : He says Balgay has found Osman's trail; he is at Kurt Tepesi (Wolf Hill) and calls for you!

(Flashback ends and back reality again)

Bamsi : You say Balgay did not send Dündar Bey, huh Osman?

Samsa : In that case, who sent Dündar after Balgay to come here?

Osman : Dündar Bey... That person sent him, Samsa Bey! Clearly, someone is doing everything in their power to turn my uncle and us against each other! It's neither Balgay ,Yannis nor the Mongols...Sooner or later, we will find out who this traitor is! Then says to his uncle sungurtekin you must go back to tribe and handle things again

Sungurtekin : Okay , my nephew Osman and leaves back for the kayi oba again on his horse .

Bamsi : Tell us, Osman, how will we find them?

Osman : We will go to the tribe. We will reclaim my father's relics! Now, the Kayı tribe will not remain leaderless, nor will it ever be leaderless from now on! We will not rest until we hold accountable those who trample our traditions, commit treason, and dig graves behind our backs!

Bamsi : Hey Maşallah, my brave hero!

All Warriors : Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

In Forest

Selcan : Come on, there is no place for fear, Gonca.

Gonca : My concern is because of you, Selcan Hatun. It is my duty to protect you.

Selcan : I am of the old soil (a battle-tested veteran), my girl. I do not sleep without sharpening my blade, nor do I set off on a path whose end I do not know. Keep your heart at ease. Come!

At Riverbank

Balgay: Sworn by the flowing water, the blood of the Kayı shall flow like this stream! Sworn by the flying bird, the heads of the Kayı shall fly just like it! Sworn by the dark earth, the dark earth shall be filled with their corpses!

Kongar: How did Osman set a trap for us, Commander Balgay?

Balgay: Have you still not understood? They joined hands with Yannis and lured us into a trap. Even a snake wouldn't be this insidious, nor a fox this cunning. An inexperienced boy and an old wretch played me!

Kongar: You promised Yannis more than he deserved. Why did Yannis betray us?

Balgay : My promises struck Osman's blade and were chopped to pieces, Kongar!
First, let us find a cave to take refuge. Let us cauterize our wounds and regain our strength. Osman will learn that Balgay has not been defeated!

At Kulucahisar Castle

Yannis : Have you been able to find Sofia's location yet?

Commander : We are still searching, my lord.

Yannis : If you cannot find Sofya, you must know what will happen to you.

Commander : Yes, my lord, I know.

Yannis : No, you cannot even imagine what I will do to you!

Commander : My lord, there is no place left that we haven't searched. It is as if she vanished into thin air.

Yannis : Cut it! Was Osman able to kill Balgay?

Commander : There are many Mongol corpses on Kurt Tepesi (Wolf Hill) and near the İnegöl border, but Balgay is not among them.

Yannis : If Osman let Balgay slip through his hands, the Mongols will make us pay the price for this. We fell into Osman's trap! I fear that this trap we have fallen into will be our doom...

At Forest Road

Abdurrahman Gazi and Alps : Taking Injured Dundar and injured alps to Mother Elif cave which is located on Sahin rocks one .

At Kurgan Valley

Gonca : Watch yourself, Zöhre Hatun !

Seclan : What is this, Zöhre? Have you gone out raiding, or have you taken a liking to banditry?

Zohre : Osman took my child's life, and you abetted him! You will pay the price for it, Hatun!

Seclan : Your own deceit and malice destroyed my Batur, Zöhre! And you have no idea!

(Turning to Aygül)

Aygül, I used to think you had at least a bit of sense in you. Will you now burn in the fire of your mother's intrigue too ?

Aygul : My place is beside my mother! Did you think I would leave my brother's blood unavenged?

Seclan : It is clear... their hearts will not rest until blood is spilled.

Zohre : Your death will be by my hand, Selcan Hatun!

Aygul : Drop that dagger, Selcan Hatun!

Zohre : Now let's see if that beloved Osman of yours comes to save you !

Bala : Shoots the arrow and kills an alp then she is shown standing with a couple of alps and Zulfikar dervish .

Aygul : We asked for one eye, and Allah gave us two! Those we wished were dead stand right before us! Mother!

Bala : This makes for a fairer fight, Zöhre Hatun !

Zohre : Come then, warriors! Ya Allah!

Everyone begins to fight Selcan and Zohre clashes Gonca dodges two strikes from Aygul and blocks her attack. Zulfikar fights an Alp kicking him and blocking his blows before slapping him . Two alps fight, Selcan slaps Zohre who attacks her again. Gonca fights an Alp and kicks him, Bala fights Aygul and slaps her. Zulfikar kills an Alp, and another Alp kills Zohre's Alp; Bala and Aygul cross swords, locking eyes; Gonca kills an Alp with a strike and kicks him; Zulfikar kills another Alp; Seclan knocks Zohre's sword away and holds his own blade to Zohre's throat; Aygul attacks Bala, but Bala grabs-her arm, knocks the sword from her hand, and holds her own blade to Aygul's throat.

Selcan and Aygul look at each other seriously.

On the road.

Alisar and two of his men ride their horses along the road.

Soldiers: He will arrange medical treatment for Dundar by and his aides.

Alisar: He ignored Osman Balgay and stalled the score with me; now l must rescue Dundar from their clutches. l will succeed where Balgay failed-l will finish Osman off, and both Dundar and the Kayi tribe will be in my hands.

In the forest.

Selcan: You will confess every detail of the betrayal you orchestrated. Zohre .

Zohre : Nothing's over yet, woman. Dundar bet will hold them accountable.

Osman and his men arrive riding on horseback.

Osman dundar bey was drowned in the betrayal he committed. Zohre Hatun met her death at my hands.

Ayul: Father !

Zohre: Dundar

Everyone watches Osman as he and his men dismount from their horses. Osman looks at Bala and nods with her eyes.

Zohre : You killed my son... and my husband too Osman

Osman: Dundar and Batur joined forces with Balgay and collaborated with the Mongols; they betrayed the Kayi tribe. Do you really think l would end up letting traitors live? The chief of our tribe is still my father, no power can violate our traditions and choose our leader to announce it to the whole world. Dundar Bey's death... was at my hands.

Aygul: Killer.

Everyone falls silent.

Osman : You shall take Zohre Hatin to the tribe put in the cage tent. l'm not done with him yet. Let go. Let go.

The Alps carry Zohre .

Zohre : You're going to get what's coming to you, Osman, You're going to get what's coming to you.

Aygul: You killed my father and my brother's murderer. Shame on him. What a shame, What shame.

Aygul lunges at Osman Zulfikar, who tries to restrain her. She breaks free and attempts to slap Osman, but he grabs her hand.

Aygul leaves there with the Alp carried.

Osman : Take my elder brother Zulfikar dervish to the encampment.

Osman: Now listen to me carefully.

In Forest

On Route to Shahin Rocks

(Abdurrahman Gazi steps forward alongside the horse stretcher where Dündar Bey lies unconscious and bleeding.)

Erkut : Abdurrahman Gazi! Dündar Bey... His condition is severe.

Abdurrahman : (Examines Dündar Bey's injury closely)

His condition is critical... To stop the bleeding, we must cauterize the wound. Prepare fire quickly! But first, we must extract the arrow tip. Hand me the dagger.

(He takes the blade and recites prayers before operating)

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim... Eüzü billahi mineşşeytanirracim, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim... Ya Şafi (O Healer)...

(Behind dense bushes, the enemy scout whispers to his commander while pointing at Abdurrahman Gazi's group.)

Enemy Scout : Should we attack, my Bey? There are six of them, and three are wounded. If you permit, now is the perfect time!

Alisar : (Stares intently through the branches)

You do not know Abdurrahman Gazi... Do not be fooled by his gray beard. When he enters battle, he turns into a dragon!

(To another warrior)

Inform the trackers. Tell Melik to bring fierce warriors skilled with the blade!

(Turning back to the scout)

Zorba, do not take your eyes off them for a single second!

Abdurrahman : pulls out the arrow point and immediately prepares to cauterize the wound to save Dündar Bey's life.

Alp : Will he make it, Abdurrahman Gazi?

Abdurrahman : Insha'Allah... But the bleeding is heavy; we must cauterize it immediately. Ya Şafi... Ya Şafi... Ya Şafi...

In Kayi Tribe

In Ertugrul's Tent

Sungurtekin Bey stands before Osman, Gündüz, and Bamsı Bey, his expression serious.

Sungurtekin: Osman, Gündüz, Bamsı... I must leave now. There is an important mission I have to complete for the safety of the Kayı tribe.

Osman: What is this mission, uncle?

Sungurtekin: I cannot speak of all its details yet, Osman. But I know that I would not leave unless it was necessary.

Bamsı: Then may your path be clear, Sungurtekin Bey. We will keep the tribe safe while you are gone.

Sungurtekin: I know I can trust you, Bamsı. And Gündüz...

Gündüz: Yes, uncle?

Sungurtekin: While I am away, you will handle the tribe's duties as Bey. The Kayı need a strong hand here.

Gündüz: Okay, uncle. I will. I promise I will protect our people and carry out my duties faithfully.

Sungurtekin: That is all I wished to hear.

Osman: May Allah protect you on your mission, uncle.

Sungurtekin: And may Allah protect all of you.

Sungurtekin mounts his horse and looks back at them one final time.

Sungurtekin: Take care of the Kayı.

Gündüz: We will, uncle. Go safely.

Sungurtekin rides away toward the distant hills, while Osman, Gündüz, and Bamsı watch him depart.

Osman: May his mission succeed.

Bamsı: Ameen.

Gündüz: Now, we have a tribe to protect.

In Forest Again

(Balgay and Kongar arrive on horseback, exhausted and wounded. Cerkutay is already crouching near a small campfire.)

Cerkutay: Balgay! Balgay, you are wounded!

Balgay : Osman made sure of his work. If only we could have passed through Kurttepesi... Yet we still walked right into the ambush

Cerkutay : How does Osman dare to do this! We have underestimated Osman..

Balgay : By this flowing blood, I swear... By this burning fire, I swear... My revenge will be fierce!

Cerkutay : How did Osman pull off this ambush, Balgay?

Balgay : Yannis... Clearly that senile old man has forgotten the wrath of the Mongols. Had he not aligned with Osman, it would not be us covered in blood, but Osman.

Kongar : We have no nökers left either, Commander Balgay. If Geyhatu hears of this, what will we do?

Balgay : This is now my war! If he stands in my way, I will kill Geyhatu too! We will reach Konya. We will gather new nökers and return. When we return... No head shall remain on any shoulders! Every living creature within these borderlands... I will burn alive!

(Balgay places the glowing, red-hot blade directly against his wound to cauterize it, gritting his teeth in agony.)

In Kayi Tribe

In Ertugrul’s Tent.

Inside his father’s tent, Osman stood alone gazing silently at his father's throne.

Bala entered and noticed his thoughtful expression.

Bala : Osman, is everything all right?

Osman continued looking at the throne for a moment

Osman: Since l was a child. l admired my father. To me, he was always a great example. l dreamed of becoming like him and honoring everything he built.

Bala stepped closer .

Bala: You already honor him, Osman. Though the man you have become and the way you fight for your people.

Before Osman could answer, Selcan entered the tent.

Selcan: l see you two are having an important conversation.

Osman smiled.

Osman: We were talking about my father.

Selcan looked at the throne and then at Osman.

Selcan: Your father left a great legacy. But remember, Osman: you don’t have to be exactly like him. Build your own path.

Bala nodded.

Bala: And we will stand by your side.

Seclan smiled at them both.

Selcan and regarding your future together be patient. If there is love, respect and good intentions between you, don’t be afraid to wait for the right time.

Osman looked at Bala.

Osman: We will wait together.

Bala smiled.

Bala: Together.

Selcan placed a hand on each of their shoulders.

Selcan: Them never forget marriage should not only be the union of two people but also a union built with respect for your families and your responsibilities.

In the forest.

Osman's men are resting in a place in the forest with Dundar and the tied up Alp Dundar wakes up and says.

Smooth observed hidden.

Dudar : Abdurrahman Gazi, why did you do this to me ?

Abdurrahman : In truth, you should bring this to our tribe. How could you do this to our Ertugrul bey, Dundar bey a great torment awaits you in the grave. l am sorry about this situation.

Dundar : My son, did you kill my Batur?

Abdurrahman : And did you really believe that? Alisar and Sofia- how can you believe Balgay? Oh Dundar bey

Dundar : Abdurrahman Gazi, kill me, kill me, or l’ll kill you all. l won’t let my son Batur’s blood lie on the ground, it kills me.

Abdurahman : Who sent you to the place where Osman set a trap for Balgay? Speaking of which, tell Osman to reveal the conspiracy being hatched against us all; then you will have the answers to the questions you asked.

Dundar faints and Abdurrahman checks if he is breathing while,.Alisar watches from his hiding place on the woods

At Kayi Tribe

In Caged Tent

Zohre : Go! Go, ominous woman! Every time I see you, I smell the scent of blood! Go!

Seclan : That is the smell of the blood you have spilled, Selcan! It comes to your mind what you have done!

Aygul : Enough of your injustices! Enough already!

Seclan : Look at what your daughter says... She says enough! First Bala was almost ambushed but Osman saved her at the right time , now Gündüz... What has happened is no coincidence. Speak!

Zohre : Have you lost your minds completely? Your eyes are blinded by the ambition for power! Take it—let the tribe and the leadership be yours! But I will not leave the vengeance of my Batur or my Dündar in your hands!

Bala : What will you do, Zöhre?! Will you beg for help from the Mongols again?!

Episode 16th ----- (Last Part)

Outside Area Of Tribe

Osman : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. In the name of Almighty Allah, who creates all from nothing when He commands "Be!", and fills our hearts with the light of faith-by His 99 names. My brave brothers in arms, elders of my tribe! Dündar's reign as Bey, which bowed to the command of the Mongols, is now over! The entire world and all nations saw that the future of the Kayı tribe will not be determined by servants who accept orders and silver coins from the Mongols, but by brave warriors who do not succumb to any worldly gain! Therefore, until my father returns, one of the Kayı beys will act as regent for the leadership of the Kayı tribe. I wish that we choose a Bey for this blessed council assembly who will serve its people and act as an executioner to its enemies!

Bey (Şahin Bey): Osman Bey, the procedure you are following is improper. You spared our lives, and we thank you for that. However, just because you spared our lives doesn't mean we can break custom.

Demirci Bey: Şahin Bey is right. The candidates should be decided in advance. The nominees must be known beforehand.

Bamsi : Beys, Beys! Look at those who are trying to teach us customs and procedures! Ironmonger Bey (Demirci Bey), Şahin Bey! Those who bow to Mongol rule for a pouch of silver coins thrown before them cannot question the procedures of this council assembly!

Demirci Bey : We do not question the procedure; we speak of custom, Bamsı Bey! Our intentions are not bad, nor do our words exceed their boundaries.

Samsa : Do not stir up trouble out of Osman Bey's mercy! The procedure is correct, as is the ruling passed! An election will be held, a Bey will be chosen, and allegiance will be sworn!

Gunduz : Şahin Bey, Demirci Bey, there is no need to panic. Customs will not be breached in a council where my brother is present. But know this as well: those who disregard custom have no place in this tribe!

In Caged Tent

Aygul : My father had set everything right, but Osman couldn't resist stirring up trouble. My brother is gone, my father is gone... Now is it my mother's turn? A new dawn has broken for you to cling to Osman, hasn't it? Sacrifice my mother and me so the stage is left entirely to you! To all of you...

Bala : As a person's heart grows dark, their anger turns cruel, and their tongue turns vile. Aygül Hatun, if only you could hear what comes out of your mouth.

Seclan : Ah, ah! Now, I will speak briefly. The funeral of Zöhre's son Batur will take place. If you wish to stand by your child like a mother and fulfill your final duty, I will get you out of here. So tell me, are you coming or not?

Zohre : What do you mean, "am I coming?" Of course! Of course I am coming!

Seclan : I know your heart is ablaze. I understand your grief. But if you wish to go to Batur's funeral... ...you must speak. We know you are connected to these events. We understand that. Now we want to know the rest. After that, we shall go to our funeral. Yes... speak up. Come on, Zöhre, free yourself of this burden. Stand by your son's side... tell us!

Zohre : I wanted to protect them... It was to protect my children, my Bey, and my tent...

Seclan : It wasn't!

Zohre : I went to Balgay...

Bala and Gonca : Getting angry on Zohre Hatun

Aygul : Mother... What have you done?!

Bala : Angry then looks at Aygul and Zohre and stroms out of the tent

Seclan : I asked, your mother confessed, and you heard it too, Aygül. This much is enough for me. You can tell your daughter the rest yourself.

Outside Caged Tent

Seclan : What is it that Bala Hatun worries about so deeply? Tell me

Gonca : Thanks to God that Osman Bey , Aybars Bey and I arrived on time and saved Bala from the Mongol ambush attack...The only thing worries her right now is when Sheikh will approve her and Osman's wedding Seclan Hatun that is worrying Bala'm

Outside Ertugrul's Tent

Demirci Bey : "Since the intention is to align with the custom (Töre) and elect a Bey, let everyone speak their mind freely. Our tribe is no longer just a handful as it used to be; our herds and possessions have grown. We need a sharp-minded Bey who can manage both trade and custom at the same time. My candidate is Gündüz Bey."

Şahin Bey : "His words are sweet, his methods gentle, and his decisions firm. My candidate is Gündüz Bey."

Samsa : "Bless you, brothers. I hold Gündüz Bey in high regard and respect him deeply. However, the hope of all Kayı elders lies in Osman. My candidate is Osman!"

Council Members: "I agree with Şahin Bey and Demirci Bey. My candidate is Gündüz Bey."

Bamsi : "Osman is torrent, Gündüz is soil. Osman is water, Gündüz is bread. Osman is the galloping horse, Gündüz is coolness. A Bey is one who can see beyond the immediate horizon...My candidate is Osman .

Council member : Bamsi Bey speaken the truth My candidate is Osman!"

Gunduz : "While we stood, he ran. While we looked, he struck! When trouble came, we were trapped, but he stood tall! He has become our hope, our intention, and our honor. He is not just a brother to me, but a companion for this world and the afterlife. I see the essence of my master Ertuğrul Gazi in him, not in myself. I believe the future of the Kayı lies with Osman! My candidate is Osman!"

Osman : "This duty is both sacred and difficult. My elder brother is meticulous and capable. In these difficult times, the Kayı need a fair Bey who stays cool-headed, sees beyond the horizon, and strictly holds onto our custom. My brother Gündüz Bey possesses the wisdom to separate the white thread from the black thread. My candidate is my elder brother, Gündüz Bey."

Osman & Council : "By unanimous decision of the elders, the deputy of Ertuğrul Gazi is my elder brother, Gündüz!"

Osman Bey to Gündüz Bey: "May your Beylik be blessed, my brother."

Gunduz : "Thank you, brother. May this leadership bring good fortune and blessings to the Kayı tribe."

In a tent

Osman : Batur .On the day he joined his first raid, his courage would have been his executioner. Our paths were separate, but God is my witness, his intentions were not evil. If he hadn't stubbornly followed in his father's footsteps, his end wouldn't have been like this. I swear with my own hands I will take the heads of those who brought you to this state .

Bamsi : My son! I will take your revenge! But from whom? Who is behind this treachery?

Osman : I don't know yet who laid this trap, but those who set it may think they have reached their goal for now.

Bamsi : They wanted you to be held responsible for this deed my nephew . And they got what they wanted .

Osman : I will shatter their traps over their heads! Since they cannot fight honorably, then I will speak to them in the language they understand.

Bamsi : Is that why... ...you hid the fact that you survived, my son?

Osman : Let those who wove these games think they have won. Let the ranks tighten even more. In this hazy weather where even the devil wears a Muslim cloak... I will scatter it all with the claw of a wolf! Until that day comes, let them believe I killed Batur. When the time comes, I will pull out the teeth of those demons and sever their heads! Oh, Dündar Bey... ...it is your right to be at the graveside while your son is laid to earth. I notified Uncle Sungurtekin , Bamsı Bey; he will bring Abdurrahman Gazi to the tribe before the funeral.

Bamsi : Understood. My Osman understood.

Konur : My Bey, Balgay has fled.

Osman : From now on, the only direction Balgay is running toward is his doom. He cannot escape my grasp.

In a Tent.

The night was silent. Inside the tent Bala sat near the window, her eyes filled with tears. She tried to hold them back, but her worries were too strong.

Bala : What if the Sheikh does not accept our marriage? What if everything we have built together comes to an end?

A tear rolled down her cheek.

Bala: l don't want to lose Osman.

Gonca walked over and gently took Bala's hands.

Gonca: Bala, look at me. You are not alone.

Bala: l'm afraid, Gonca... after everything we have faced... l cannot imagine my life without him.

Gonca embraced her.

Gonca: Don't think about the worst before it happens. Osman knows your heart, and you know his.

Bala wiped away her tears.

Bala: l only want our marriage to be accepted. l want to be able to stand beside him without fear.

Gonca smiled warmly.

Gonca: Then have faith. Perhaps the Sheikh will see what all of us see. Two people who chose to walk together and remain united even through the hardest days.

Bala took a deep breath and nodded.

Bala: Inshallah

In Ertugrul's Tent

Inside the Tent

Osman sat in silence Seclan hatun noticed his worried expression and approached him.

Selcan: Osman. l can see that something is troubling your heart. Talk to me.

Osman took a deep breath.

Osman: Mother Selcan, l'm afraid l may never be able to marry Bala. l'm afraid Sheikh Edebali will never accept our union.

Selcan sat beside him.

Selcan: Don't fear take away your hope, Osman. The Sheikh is a wise man. Give him time to understand your intentions and see how much you respect Bala.

Osman lowered his eyes.

Osman: And we still have the Mongols. l have to protect the Kayi tribe and my people. Sometimes l feel like there are too many problems to solve.

Selcan placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Selcan: You carry many responsibilities, my son. But you don't have to solve everything at once. First, protect your people. Then, when the right time comes, speak to the Sheikh again.

Osman looked at her.

Osman: And what if he still says no?

Selcan: Then be patient- Selcan replied.- Don't force anyone's heart. Show through your actions that your love for Bala is true and that you want to build a life with her based on respect.

Osman breathed more calmly.

Osman: You're right, Mother Selcan.

She smiled.

Seclan : Have faith, Osman. The Mongols may test strength, and the path toward marriage may be difficult,but don't let fear decide your future.

Osman nodded.

Osman: l will continue fighting my people and wit for the right time.

Selcan: That is what you must do- Selcan said- And remember you are not alone.

In the forest.

The dervish pulls Sofia, whose hands are tied, through the forest; she is blindfolded.

Dervish: Walk!

Sofia: Where are you taking me? Why is no one here?

Dervish: They went to sette the score wirh Balgay.

Sofia: How, how did they dare do this?

Dervish: You don't know Osman bey. It's all, thanks to you and Yannis, Sofia. Walk! Traitor.

Then Salvador appears.

Dervish: Salvador.

Sofia removes her blindfold and Salvsfor attacks the dervish , they fight but Salvador defeats the dervish then snaps the dervish neck and he falls.

Sofia smiles.

Salvador: You are free now, Princess.

Sofia: Helen Andreas, where are they?

Salvador: While we were escapimg from the cage they had locked us in... Andreas died, Helen is waiting for us.

Sofia: Salvador l will never forget this

Salvador smiles.

Sofia looks at the dervish.

Sofia: You've brought trouble upon yourself... Dervish

Sofia spits on the dervish.

Sofia: Let's take Helen and go straight back to the castle.

Sofia and Salvador leave there quickly.or leave from there together .

Other side of Forest

Abdurrahman : (disbelieving) You... who are you?

Melik : (grim) Your doom!

Abdurrahman : I have seen many brave men wish to be my doom. Every single one of them lies under the soil. Abdurrahman draws his curved sword.

(Ambush ensues as arrows rain down on the Alps.)

Melik (Alişar's men) : unsheathe their weapon.

Abdurrahman : Sword! Sword! Sword! Alkurt!

(Alkurt is struck by an arrow while defending the group by Alisar .)

Erkut : Abdurrahman Gazi

Abdurrahman : Kilic and Erkut

(Abdurrahman fights fiercely despite being outnumbered, taking down multiple attackers.)

(Alişar Bey steps forward into the clearing, watching the battle coldly.)

Abdurrahman : Alişar...Alişar, is that you?

Alişar : Would it suit a Sanjak Bey like me to leave Dündar Bey in the hands of jackals like you?

Abdurrahman : Instead of barking from behind your dogs, come out to the arena, Alişar! Step forward, Alişar!

(Abdurrahman Gazi fights to his last breath, but is overwhelmed and forced to his knees as Alişar Bey watches on.)

In Kayi Tribe

In Ertugrul's Tent

Seclan : As long as you have a heart like this mountain within you, with God's help, everything will be resolved, my son.

Bala : Enters in tent

Seclan : Welcome, my daughter.

Bala : I welcome the path.

Seclan : I was about to prepare sherbet; let me get it ready so we can drink together.

Osman : Just as there is no one else in my heart but you, I have no intention of looking for anyone else, Bala. You are my prayer. And my whole world too

Bala : Osman you also are my whole world now

Osman : When we love each other so much , that's why god sended me to protect you from that ambush bala so we can have our happily ever after with our children .

Bala : Osman now even i also believes this is all god's plan to have happily ever for us with our children .

Osman :Smiles and says being without you would destroy me. Being without you is the biggest obstacle between me and my tomorrow. You are my strength, my power, the light of my path. You are my dream, my love. That's why l promise that l will always do everything l can to protect you and stand by your side. As long as God allow l will never abandon you.

Bala: And l will always stand by your side too, Osman.

Osman : With the consent of my Sheikh, building a home with you is my greatest dream. You are my deep passion, Hatun.

Bala : smiled and looks in eyes of Osman

Osman : Looks back in her eyes too of her

( Both are lost in each other eyes )

Boran : Is there permission, my Bey?

Osman : Come in, Boran.

Bala : Looks at Osman asks permission to leave

Osman : Nods in yes

Bala : leaves ( exits the tent )

Boran : There is a brave warrior who wishes to see you. He says it is important.

Osman : Let him enter.

Messenger : Where is the target destination, Osman Bey?

Osman : To the Kızıl Elma (Red Apple).

Messenger : The White-Bearded Elders (Aksakallılar) await you, Osman Bey. Your duty is crucial.

At Kulucahisar Castle

Sofia : We failed, master, forgive us."

Yannis : You're there , aren't you ? What matters most to me is my daughter .

Sofia : You negotiated with Osman on my behalf , sir. You shouldn't have done that.

Yannis : For you, I would turn this entire realm into a sea of blood. Where is Andreas?

Sofia : They... they killed him, Master.

Yannis : Whether what you did was stupidity or betrayal makes no difference-the penalty for both is death!

Sofia : Master Yannis! It was Salvador who saved our lives by killing Edebali's dervishes.

Helen : The Princess speaks the truth. Thanks to Salvador, our lives were saved. Furthermore, he was wounded while fighting alongside us.

Yannis : Go to your room, my child. Wait to hear from me regarding the reward I will bestow upon you.

(Salvador exits )

Salvador is lying

Sofia : But Master...

Yannis : Tired of being harassed by a cat every day, the mice in the church made a decision. They decided to put a bell around the cat's neck so they would be alerted in advance whenever it approaches, allowing them to live in peace. However, they needed a mouse brave enough-and foolish enough-to hang that bell. Well, Osman has found that foolish mouse.

Sofia : Will you kill Salvador, Master?

Yannis : No, I will kill the cat. Until then, I will use this brave yet equally foolish mouse.

Helen : How will you do that, Master?

Yannis : I will appoint Salvador as the commander of Kulucahisar Castle.

In Kayi Tribe

In Ertugrul's Tent

Gunduz : Balgay has retreated for now, but as soon as he finds the opportunity, he will come after us again.

Bamsi : We must also step up the security measures in the camp. Thank Allah, the people have regained their trust and stand united. Now, even if Balgay comes, he knows the resistance he will face.

Gunduz : Despite all his treachery, it was good that Osman spared Dündar Bey's life, Bamsı Bey, because building that unity would have taken time.

Bamsi : You speak the truth... You speak the truth.

(Osman Bey arrives)

Osman : Is there permission, Gündüz Bey?

Gunduz : Come in, my brother. Welcome, brother.

Osman : Brother, we need to find Balgay. He has lost everything. It is highly likely that he will flee to Konya. If we do not stop him, he will return even stronger.

Gunduz : What needs to be done? What is on your mind, Osman?

Osman : If you allow it, I want to take Konur and Boran with me and hit the road. I will catch Balgay by surprise before he reaches Konya.

Bamsi : My son... What if you cannot catch him on the road? What if he reaches Konya?

Osman : The bird of death does not care about hills or slopes, my Bamsı Bey! If so, then I will take his life right there in Konya.

Bamsi : Eyvallah! (So be it!)

Osman : Keep one ear on the castle. Sıddık is on duty in the fortress and awaits news from us. When the time comes, by Allah's leave, we will plant the Kayı banner on the Kulucahisar Castle!

Bamsi : Hey maşallah! Do not look back, my brave one. May your path be open!

Osman : Eyvallah. Bamsı Bey, before the funeral, Abdurrahman Gazi will bring Dündar Bey to the camp. Before he is exiled, let him fulfill his final duty to his child alongside his wife. Brother, no one must know that Dündar Bey is alive. Only in this way can we find out who set a trap for us. With your permission... (leaves)

At Kulucahisar Castle

In Salvador's room

In Flashback scene

(Salvador recollects the secret instructions given to him by Boran Alp in the forest)

Boran : We have unfurled our banners of conquest, Brother Sıddık. It is Osman Bey's command. Now, listen to me carefully."

Siddik / Salvador : Lives are sacrificed for Osman Bey's command! What is required of me, Boran Alp?"

Boran : You will kidnap Sofia and hand her over to us. In doing so, their trust in you will increase even further. When we reach the gates of that castle with our banners of conquest, you will be the one opening those castle gates to us."

Back to Reality

(In his room inside the castle, Sıddık kneels on a prayer rug and offers a prayer to Allah for Osman Bey's victory)

Siddik : "O Lord... My duty is tough, my burden is heavy. Do not let me fail my Osman Bey, nor let Osman Bey fail the Ummah of Muhammad, O Lord!" O Lord! Do not let Osman Bey and his companions-who fight for Your cause-be disgraced before the disbelievers, O Lord! Grant them such a victory that the oppressed may celebrate." If You so will, on that day of celebration, I-Your servant Sıddık-am willing to surrender my soul for the glory of Islam... As long as my life is sacrificed for the sake of these believers! You made me a Ghazi, and in the end, grant me martyrdom, O Lord! Amen."

(A knock sounds on the door of Sıddık's quarters)

Guard : Master Salvador, your master is waiting for you."

Siddik : "I am coming." "Behind me, thousands of horsemen will come in waves... Just wait... Osman Bey will come!"

At Alisar Mansion

Alisar : Zorba! Tell the soldiers to return to their duties. Gather my loyal men and tell them to come to the mansion tonight. Let it be known that Sancak Bey Alişar Bey is throwing a grand feast."

Zorba : As you command, my Bey.

Alisar : Melik, send news across the plains so everyone learns that by Geyhatu's decree, I am Sancak Bey once again. If anyone shows defiance, show them Geyhatu's edict!"

Melik : And what if they resist?"

Alisar : Crush them even worse than Balgay would! Make them realize I was the one who defeated even Balgay's leadership, and let them act accordingly. As for the Kayıs... I shall deal with them personally."

Alişar expresses his frustration and prepares to head out.

Alisar : You let my gold get stolen, you brought Kurucahisar and the Kayıs to the brink of war-is this how you safeguard the lands entrusted to you?"

Zorba : At your command, my Bey."

Alisar : Prepare my gear. For now, our business with Balgay is finished, but I still have accounts to settle with that woman named Sofia. Have you settled Dündar Bey into his room?

Zorba : Yes, my Bey."

In Kayi Tribe

In a Tent

Gonca : I am so happy for you Bala . I told you na , that your love wasn't something that would just fade away.

Bala : Until now, I haven't asked anything for myself. It is God that wants me and Osman to build a home together and live happily ever with our beautiful children .

Gonca : Insha'Allah, my dear Bala Insha'Allah... that's why God sended me , Osman Bey and Aybars Bey to save you from that Mongol ambush .

Bala : Similes and says God sended Osman , you and Aybars bey to protect me from that Mongols ambush so I can have my happily forever with Osman then smiles again and says Insha'Allah.

Osman prepares to leave to hunt down Balgay, sharing a heartfelt farewell with Bala.

Osman : Permission to enter?"

Gonca : Welcome, Osman Bey. I was just about to visit Selcan Hatun, if you'll excuse me."

(Gonca exits)

Osman : Seeing that smile... even if the journey went to the end of the world, it would be no burden."

Bala : What journey, Osman? What's happening?"

Osman : The Mongols cannot be left unattended. If I don't pursue him, Balgay will return even stronger.

Bala : Mongols almost caused us too much trouble, Osman .

Osman : That's why If I don't take his life, this trouble will only grow. If I don't catch him on the road, I will sever his breath in Konya if necessary." "Do not leave the tribe unless necessary until he is dead..."

Bala : "Whatever you say. Do not worry about us. For Allah's sake, be very careful." And come back safely to me again. I will be waiting for you Osman .

Osman : "Or are you afraid something might happen to me?"

Bala : I hope nothing happens to you and you return safely back to me Osman .

Osman : As long as you are well and standing beside me , everything else is trivial to me. I don't know how it works, but when you smile, my strength multiplies. If they asked if I could move mountains, I feel as though I could. Do not withhold your love or your prayers."

Bala : "Both my prayers and my love are with you. May you be under Allah's protection."

At Alisar Mansion

In Room

Alisar : Dündar Bey, are you alright? I will host you in my mansion in a manner worthy of your honor, do not worry."

Dundar : "Why did you bring me here, Alişar? I must return to my tribe immediately!"

Alisar : "Why? So Osman can finish the job he left incomplete?"

Dundar : What do you mean?"

Alisar : Osman raided the tribe with Samsa's alps and seated Gündüz upon his father's post. What do you say to that? He played along until the right time came to seize the leadership of the tribe."

Dundar : "My brother's authority rests with me! Osman cannot do this!"

Alisar : He told everyone you were dead! Curse the day I informed Geyhatu to save his life-I should have let Balgay take him! Osman's intention was this from the beginning."

Dundar : Then why didn't he kill me at that time?"

Alisar : Who knows what schemes are running through his mind? I will go and rescue Zöhre Hatun and Aygül from the cage tent he threw them into. Rest for now." Let everyone believe you are dead,...If they find out you're alive, who knows what Zöhre Hatun and Aygül might do... Isn't that right ?"

In Kulucahisar Castle

In Throne Room

Yannis : Salvador, the fearless warrior of Catalonia... By the justice of our Holy Father and the mercy of our Holy Mother, rule! I hereby declare you the Commander of Kulucahisar Castle." In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Salvador : If I ever stray from the path of our Holy Father, may this sword sever my flesh from my bone."

Soldier (Speaking with Sofia ) : "Alişar Bey has arrived, Princess. He is waiting for you."

Sofia : "Inform Master Yannis."

Yannis : "Amen."

Salvador : "I swear to remain loyal to our Holy Father, to fight our enemies until my very last breath, and to live my life for my honor!"

Soldiers (Chanting) : "Commander Salvador! Commander Salvador! Commander Salvador..."

In Forest Road

Osman riding horse karayel with Alps in Konur , Boran , Dumrul

At Kulucahisar Castle

Alişar: I have only one question for you. Give me a true answer to my query: What did Osman offer your father to betray Balgay? I am sure it is not your miserable life.

Sofia: You know everything; I am sure you know the answer to this as well.

Alişar: Genghis Khan's Laws and the dagger.

Sofia: You... with what courage do you come here?

Alişar: Geyhatu ordered me, as the Sanjak Bey, to give this letter to you.

Sofia: So he wants the Laws and the dagger...In exchange for what?

Alişar: In exchange for Osman's death and your life.

Sofia : Osman crushed Balgay's head and passed by.

Alisar : You know he will come back for revenge.

Sofia: How can I trust you ?

Alişar: My smell is killing me, Sofia... But you cannot even imagine how you will smell when you die. I know the schemes you've pulled behind my back. If you are with me, I am ready to forget them all. If I kill Osman and give the Laws and the dagger to Geyhatu...both of us win.

Sofia: Osman killed Dündar. He took over the tribe with his brother . Now tell me...what do you have in your hands?

Alişar: Dündar is alive. I am the only branch he can hold onto in life along with his impudent wife and beautiful daughter. I will give the tribe back to Dündar. We will do this together with you.

Sofia: How will I use Geyhatu?

Alişar: Geyhatu wants to marry Princess Adelfa to strengthen trade relations with Byzantium. The princess is already on her way to Konya. Now, Sofia, there is only one enemy for both of us: Osman. Either you are with me, or you belong to the black soil. Princess...

In Kayi Tribe

In Caged Tent

Aygul : Untie me now! It is my right to attend my brother's funeral.

Seclan : If it were about right and justice, my Batur would not deserve the black soil, Aygül. Listen to me carefully, Zühre! After everything you've done, not a single bite of food remains for you in this tribe. Bury your son, then take your daughter and get out of this tribe! Go to the Mongols you begged from!

Zohre : What is the meaning of this?

Seclan : In the Oghuz custom, the penalty for treason is death! Pray for Sungurtekin Bey's mercy!

Zohre : You don't look at yourself for making us dependent on the enemy! It's easy to call someone a traitor!

Seclan : Enough! You shameless, unprincipled, immoral women! Whatever happened, happened because of your ambition and malice! As you couldn't stand Osman, you slandered him. That wasn't enough-you went to Balgay and bowed before him! You lost your son, yet you still haven't learned your lesson!

Aygul : Enough, Selcan Hatun! Stop it! Untie me now!

Seclan : Go fulfill your final duty at your son's side! If you still have the face to look at him, look and say your farewells. Now go!

In Forest

At White Beards Place

Aksakallılar Elder : You have not disappointed the trust we placed in you, Osman Bey. You repelled Balgay.

Osman : The campaign is from us; victory is from Allah, alhamdulillah! Balgay has seen that the Turks will surrender to no one.

Aksakallılar Elder : But know that what comes next will be even harder.

Osman : If I do not destroy Balgay, he will return with an even greater force.

Aksakallılar Elder : Our struggle has grown larger, and our path will be much tougher. Now listen to me carefully, my son. While we make our move, the army of the devil attacks without stopping. Gaykhatu has reinstated Alişar as Sancakbey because his relationship with Balgay has cooled down due to the Genghis Khan laws. Balgay has fallen from Gaykhatu's favor. It is clear that out of rage, he will return to plague the Turkish tribes.

Osman : We have shattered Balgay's courage; he no longer has the power to strike fear into hearts. We will fight tooth and nail, and we will continue to fight.

Aksakallılar Elder : Eyvallah. We have no doubt of that. But now we have a more crucial task regarding Balgay. Princess Adelfa, who lives in Constantinople, is to be married to the Mongol ruler Gaykhatu by order of the Emperor.

Osman : This means a Mongol-Byzantine alliance.

Aksakallılar Elder : An alliance for them-and doomsday for the Turks!

Osman : The warrior tribes on the borderlands will be trapped between two fires.

Aksakallılar Elder : Osman Bey, what you must do is prevent this marriage. Princess Adelfa does not consent to this union, but what matters is rescuing the princess from the hands of Gaykhatu's spies.

Osman : Is the route they will take clear?

Aksakallılar Elder : They will likely head via Nicaea to Eskihisar, and from there to Konya. You must complete this duty even at the cost of your life!

Osman : I will do everything in my power. I will destroy the traps set for us by Byzantium and the Mongols.

Aksakallılar Elder : Eyvallah!

Osman serious face shown and slow jenerik plays on

Too many believe that Osman killed Batur. He is having a hard time convincing them.

17th Episode ---- {Part 1}

1280 year now

In Forest

At White Beards Place

Osman : I have a question. While we struggle to make our own home safe, what will become of this world? Everything has been destroyed. Plagues, economic crises, political reckonings...People are anxious, fearful, and sorrowful.

Aksakallılar Elder : The army of justice did not show as much courage in the struggle as the children of the devil. The army of justice fell into discord and lost its sincerity. Finding the field empty, the children of the devil went on the attack to destroy humanity. However, the hearth of justice has been rekindled. The banner will rise from where it fell. The world will attain order once again. By Allah's permission, this nation will scatter the army of the devil to pieces!

In Kayi Tribe

In Ertugrul's Tent

Gunduz : If we make the defense from inside the camp, it means we have already lost the battle from the start. Our Alps will hold the four hills in our vicinity. In case of a sudden raid on the camp, our Alps will infiltrate from the riverbed and the forest to support the camp. What is the situation in Söğüt, Bamsı Bey?

Bamsi : As you ordered, my Gündüz Bey, I placed the Alps in Söğüt. They are prepared for Balgay's raid.

Gunduz : Eyvallahi (Thank you), Bamsı Bey.

Bamsi : We also positioned the Alps on Kurna Hill and Şahin Hill. From now on, anyone coming to Söğüt won't be spared.

Gunduz : Eyvallahi, Bamsı Bey.

Bamsi : Gündüz Bey, if Abdurrahman Gazi brought Dündar Bey, let's perform the funeral prayer.

Gunduz : Abdurrahman Gazi hasn't arrived yet, Bamsı Bey.

Bamsi : What do you say, my Gündüz Bey? It's a short distance, I hope nothing bad has happened to them. Let me go and ask the Alps.

Alp (entering tent): My Bey! Alişar Bey is approaching the camp with Seljuk soldiers.

Bamsi : From here, only that Idiot's head will leave

In a Tent

(A tense and grief-stricken atmosphere hangs over the yurt. The body of the deceased lies covered beneath a blue cloth. Zöhre Hatun sits by the body in profound sorrow. Aygül stands nearby, tears streaming down her face, overwhelmed with grief and anguish.)

Zohre : (Weeping over the body, touching the shroud, )

Batur...Don't leave me, my child! Don't go, my beautiful son! Don't leave me, my child... Take me with you! Take me as well, my son...will leave!

Aygul : Sobbing bitterly, turning her rage toward Zöhre Hatun , If Batur Bey had known that he went to the Mongols...If he knew that help was begged from Balgay... Would he have ever looked at your face again?! What would he have said to you?!

Zohre : Trying to silence her, voice trembling, Be quiet, I tell you!

Aygul : Unwilling to back down, yelling through tears, No! I will not be quiet! If you hadn't thrown Gündüz Bey into the open...My brother might still be alive right now! My brother died because of you! He died because of you!

Zohre : Standing up in fury, glaring at Aygül, Silence! Be quiet! Be quiet, I tell you! Silence, before I make you quiet!

(Overwhelmed by pain and despair, Aygül collapses in tears and storms out of the yurt. Zöhre Hatun remains standing alone, her sorrow twisting into dark fury.)

(Looking down at her deceased son's body, her voice turning dark and menacing,

I will not leave those who scattered us like carded cotton unpunished, my son...If I am the reason for your death, may Allah take my soul! But I swear... I will not stop until I take your revenge. May the black earth be forbidden to me until I make Osman regret the day he was born! May it be forbidden to me, my child...May it be forbidden...

In Ertugrul's Tent

(Alişar Bey arrives at the Kayı camp accompanied by Seljuk guards and steps arrogantly into the Bey's tent, attempting to sit on the Bey's post.)

Alisar : "I have come to your camp as the Sanjak Bey, Gündüz Bey."

Gunduz : "Were you not the one who killed my Alps and had me shot with arrows, Alişar Bey?"

(Alişar moves toward the main seat of authority.)

"And now, standing before me with a Mongol decree that isn't worth a rag in my eyes, you expect my respect?"

( Bamsi Bey firmly blocks Alişar from sitting on Bey's throne.)

Bamsi : "Alişar Bey... Are you the kind of man who gets to sit here? This seat belongs to my lord Ertuğrul Bey! It does not suit us to let anyone who commits betrayal sit upon it!"

In the forest.

Osman rides on his horse and thinks.

Osman : O Lord... to glorify your name... .... l set out on this path in your name l raise my head against the oppressor... only to you... only from you do l seek fulfillment of my desires. O God... do not disgrace me... ... in my war with the unbelievers. Don't lead me astray. Do not make him one of those unfortunate souls who chase after fame and glory. Make me and my descendants majestic and wise. May the oppressed find peace when they hear our name. May the oppressor who hears our prayer be humiliated amen. The darkness will end.

Osman raises his horse Karayel .

Osman remembers the dream he had about his grandfather Syleyman Shah, his words, then he remembers the wise words of the Sheikh and the words of the Whitebeards.

He rides his horse several times and rides off.

In Kayi Tribe

In Ertugrul's Tent

Alisar : I have arrived here commissioned by the decree of Geyhatu, the powerful Governor of this realm. I come both as a Sanjak Bey and as an elder brother who knows the nomad camps closely.

Gunduz : We had no news of your submission to the tyranny of the Mongols. As for your Sanjak Beylic-so long as you remain just, you will face no trouble from us. What is this duty of yours?

Alisar : Let us speak calmly outside.

(They move outside to converse)

Alisar : Geyhatu is aware of everything. He does not want trouble in the borderlands.

Bamsi : And what does Alişar Bey want? For us to surrender to rabid dogs like Balgay? Or to stay silent in the face of the capital's atrocities?

Alisar : Geyhatu wishes to keep the borderlands out of trouble, Gündüz Bey. My duty is to take Osman to Konya. Geyhatu wishes to learn Balgay's fate under the laws of Genghis Khan. Otherwise, he will come here in person. If Geyhatu comes himself, all the plains will burn along with Balgay!

Bamsi : Alişar Bey! Osman is not here right now. But even if he were, neither your strength nor Gaykhatu's power would be enough to take him! The era of submission is over, Alişar Bey! From now on, is it the sword that speaks?

Alisar : The one who speaks with the sword falls silent by the sword! We have nothing to fear from a blade. But know this: Geyhatu is not pleased with what Balgay has done either. I came here to execute the duty given by Gaykhatu and to offer you a proposition.

Gunduz : We Kayı do not like ornamental words or decorative men, Alişar Bey. Whatever you have to say, speak it straight without beating around the bush.

Alisar : This scourge of Balgay will not end until he dies; we all know this well. Come, stand alongside me against Balgay. Geyhatu's wrath and Balgay's shadow keep us on our feet, but our interests are aligned. Geyhatu's wrath and Balgay's shadow keep us on our feet, but our interests are aligned.

Gunduz : Suppose we submit to your Sanjak Beylic... What will be the return, Alişar Bey? Will you again attempt to kill my brother Osman and bring every kind of fitnah (strife) upon our camp?

Alisar : If I had wanted to kill him, I would have done so by now-he wouldn't be standing before me. As for your question: the Kayı camp will take whatever it desires, and give whatever it wishes to whomever it pleases. And no harm shall come to Osman's head. What do you say, Gündüz Bey?

In Seclan's Tent

Seclan : Bala, my girl?

Bala : That impudent Alişar has reappeared, Selcan Hatun!

Seclan : I heard, my girl, I heard. I was just about to go check on him to see why he came and what he wants.

Bala : I'm afraid he returned stronger than before, Selcan Hatun. That villain will cling to our throats even worse now!

Seclan : Just when we thought we were saved from the trouble of Dundar Bey... May Allah prevent Dundar from showing his soft side, especially when my Osman isn't here. If we show submission to that dishonorable man, he will walk all over us. Come on, there must be another matter bothering you. Speak, my girl, speak. There is surely a remedy to every trouble.

Bala : That Shameless Alişar... Once upon a time, he asked for my hand in marriage from my father, Selcan Hatun.

Seclan : What are you saying to me, Bala?

Bala : Osman doesn't know about it, obviously. No one knows about it. But I just wanted to say...

Seclan : Don't you worry, my girl. I won't tell anyone. It's better that you told me too.

Bala : If Osman hears about it, he won't let him live. Cleaning up a piece of scum is one thing, but... I am afraid something bad might happen to my Osman.

Seclan : We shall see, my girl, we shall see. Come on.

In Forest

Boran: We will throw them behind the Black Forest, my Bey. Will Balgay pass through there?

Osman : Not Balgay, but the caravan carrying the Byzantine Princess Adelfa will pass through there.

Boran: What business do we have with the Byzantine princess, my Bey?

Osman : They want to marry Adelfa to Gayhatu and form a Byzantine-Mongol alliance. We will prevent this. There are two of us.

Boran : Orders are to go to the tribe and inform Altar.

Osman : No, Boran. This duty is both important and secret. The two of us will handle it.

Outside Ertugrul's Tent

Alisar : What are you doing, Gündüz Bey? You cannot do this! Both your craftsmanship is clear and your mind is competent-in these hard times, such foolish and reckless decisions shouldn't be made!

Gunduz : We protected ourselves from Balgay's tyranny! But Geyhatu has no such responsibility.

Bamsi : He is wild; his domain extends all the way to Inner Asia,

Gunduz : and he commands countless dogs of war! Which one can the Bey protect us against? We were determined to give what was promised to the Mongols and live a peaceful life.

Bamsi : But Alişar Bey and Gündüz Bey... these are decisions that must be taken by all the Beys together! So much suffering has occurred, so many martyrs have fallen! A decree cannot be executed headstrong like this, Gündüz Bey!

Gunduz : You are the Bey of the tribe, but sitting on that post does not make you absolute!

Bamsi : When a Muslim is bitten by a snake once, he does not let himself be bitten from the same place again! Get your head together, Gündüz Bey! They want to spill the blood of our braves! How can this be allowed?!

Gunduz : Osman left with his closest Alps to protect the tribe from both Geyhatu's wrath and Balgay! And as the Sancak Bey, only you can locate where he is now. Osman is no longer our problem, Bamsı Bey

Bamsi : If Geyhatu comes, you will look for Balgay with a candle! We have been looking for Dündar since yesterday, Gündüz Bey! Your negligence will turn back to the tribe like a storm. Your path is not the right path! !

Alisar : Bamsı Bey doesn't know politics well. Your job is difficult, Gündüz Bey. I have one more thing to tell you...

On the other side of the Tribe.

Burcin found Ayrbas near the horse. He immediately noticed that she looked nervous.

Aybars: Burcin, did something happen?

Burcin smiled shyly.

Burcin: It did... but it is something good.

Aybars : stepped closer, concerned.Then tell me.

Burcin : Takes a deep breath and holds his hands and says to Aybars we are going to have a baby.

Aybars remained silent for a few seconds, surprised.

Aybars: A baby?

Burcin nodded emotionally.

Burcin: Yes. Our child.

A huge smile appeared on Aybars's face.

Aybars:Byrcin you have just given me the happiest news of my life.

He hugged her warmly.

Aybars: May Allah protect you and our baby.

Burcin : smiled through her emotion. Inshallah. l was so nervous to tell you.

Aybars: Never be afraid to share your happiness with me. From this day forward we have another reason to be grateful

Other side area of Tribe

Dumrul: What is this haste of yours?

Bamsi : What happened to Abdurrahman Gazi, my Bey?

Dumrul: We found him in the forest, heavily wounded, my Bey!

Bamsi : Oh, Abdurrahman Gazi! Where were you, my Bey?

Dumrul: The Alps tied him to a sled and brought him to the healing tent, my Bey.

Bamsi : No, no! There can be no healing here, Dumrul!

Dumrul : What do you mean no healing, my Bey? If the wound is severe-

Bamsi : It is Osman's order! Don't you know there are two-faced Beys in the tribe who pledged allegiance to Dündar Bey? Who knows what the Alps will do now! Dumrul, until I say so, everyone must think Abdurrahman Gazi is dead! I will treat him outside the tribe. Now run to the healing tent, gather the necessary herbs, and then inform Gündüz Bey before Alişar hears about it! Eyvallah! Hurry, my son, hurry!

In Forest

Osman : "The princess must not reach Konya. No one in the caravan bringing her shall be left alive."

Boran : "Are we going to kill the princess as well?

Osman : Killing an innocent woman does not suit us." "If we can spare her life, so be it. However, if anything jeopardizes the mission, you know what to do."

Boran : "I know, my Bey, I know..."

Osman : "Here they come, Boran !"

Boran : "Are the men ready?"

Osman : "Because they are on their own land, they are overconfident.

Boran : For this reason, they will be caught off guard, my Bey."

On Other side of Forest

Bamsi : "Abdurrahman!" "Who did this to you, brother? Who did this to you? Open your eyes! If something happens to you, what will I say to my Ertuğrul Bey, brother? What will I tell him? Try to open your eyes... keep fighting, brother!" "His pulse is beating, he's breathing. He will recover, won't he, Ayaz?"

Ayaz : "His pulse is beating, but slowly, my Bey. When I found him, he had lost a lot of blood."

Bamsi : "You cauterized the wound, the bleeding has stopped... brother, why don't you open your eyes then? Open your eyes, brother!" "How is his sword arm?"

Ayaz : "Abdurrahman Gazi's sword hand is strong, my Bey."

Bamsi : "Indeed, he is strong. Abdurrahman Gazi is as strong as a lion... my brother is like a lion!"

Ayaz : "However, Erkut couldn't endure it, my Bey..."

Bamsi : "My Almighty Lord, the purpose of these fallen brave men is to seek Your approval. My Lord, accept them into Your presence..." "Is there any sign of Dündar Bey or the others?"

Ayaz : "There is none, my Bey.

Bamsi : They sacrificed the brave warriors just to kidnap Dündar.

Ayaz : Who could commit such treachery, my Bey?"

Bamsi : "Dündar is missing... Alişar isn't at the tribe... bad scents are rising, Ayaz." "Now... until my Osman arrives, everyone will believe Abdurrahman Gazi is dead. I will complete his treatment right here." "Hold on, my brother! Come on, open your eyes... my brave brother, open your eyes..."

In Forest

Osman : Allahu Akbar!

Boran : Allahu Akbar! Did you see which side they shot from?

Osman : Princess... Please, come out.

Princess / Maid: You won't kill me, right?

Osman : We came here not to kill, but to keep alive. Besides, there is no one here who can harm you.

Princess / Maid : But I... I am not the princess.

Osman : What does that mean? Who are you, then? It is clear that both the princess's life and your life are in danger. I will do everything in my power to save you. Come on, tell me... Who are you?

Boran : She's still alive, Bey!

In Kayi Tribe

Alişar : My condolences, Zöhre Hatun

Zöhre : May our friends live long, Alişer Bey

Alisar : They brought down my Dündar like a mountain. Fire burns where it falls, I know... but what is required now is not anger, but fortitude . We consulted with Gündüz earlier. If you agree, I wish to take you to my mansion . In the Sancak Bey's mansion, your mind will be at peace. Once our pain subsides, we can modestly hold our unfinished wedding .

Aygul : You have my consent . I want to leave this tribe, which has turned into a nest of malice, as soon as possible

Seclan : It was your rage and malice that broke the peace of the tribe and cost two lives! Have you still not learned your lesson?

Zohre : Selcan, we know you, we know you very well! Your whole life has been spent bickering and fighting with words . I understand that, but our pain is fresh-be quiet!

Aygul : Stay away, Selcan Hatun! The smoke of the fire inside me rises from my head; don't let my anger burn you too!

Zohre : I am not willing to stay in the tribe and get into trouble either. Since you show such generosity, you have my consent as well. Let us prepare our migration and come to your mansion . But... I will not leave my son here . Gündüz Bey, permit me to bury him with my own hands in a place I see fit .

Seclan : Batur died, is that not enough? Now do you intend to deprive him of his homeland too, sister-in-law? How sad that you don't even deserve your son's funeral! You and Dündar brought these troubles upon our heads! You caused your own son's death! Leave him so he can rest in peace in his grave alongside his ancestors! Even if you are his mother, Batur is the grandson of Süleyman Şah! His place and his home are right here. No one is giving that body to you!

Gunduz : Enough! Since when is a word spoken over the word of a Bey?

Seclan : Do you not hear what they say?

Bala : They played so many games! Joining hands with the Mongols, they tried to ambush me also but Osman saved me at the right time , they even tried to ambush Osman Bey and in the middle of the tribe but your uncle Sungurtekin ! Selcan Hatun is right, Gündüz Bey

Gunduz : But we like guests who know their place. Bala Hatun, do not cross the boundary!

Seclan : Bala is my daughter; she is not a guest in this tribe . And what she says is not a lie. When did you forget what was done?

Gunduz : If Bala is your daughter, then take your daughter to the tent. Come on! Don't cause an accident by my hand, sister-in-law! Alp, prepare a cart. You will deliver Batur's body to Zöhre Hatun

In Forest Again

Osman : Since you are not Princess Adelfa, where is she?

Maidservant: I cannot tell you. I fear for her safety

Osman : We both know the Princess would not willingly become a concubine to a Mongol bear. What difference does it make? If one concubine isn't taken, another will be. We are Turks. We do no harm to innocent women. Remember how I treated you when I thought you were the Princess.

Maidservant: I am afraid harm will come to her.

Osman : If you do not tell me where she is, harm will come to her-and it will be because of you.

Maidservant : They are taking the Princess on the road to Engürü. Please, treat her well.

Osman : Byzantine games never end, but our thirst for martyrdom never ends either.

Boran : Eyvallah, my Bey. So this convoy was a trap set for precaution. But why did they do it?

Osman : We will understand when we cross paths with them. We will cross these mountains and go to the Engürü road.

At Mongols Camp

Balgay : This is the route they will pass through. We will launch our ambush right here. If a single person survives, Geyhatu will know that we were the ones who did it.

Kongar : The Princess

Balgay : She will die as well. What happened, Cerkutay ? You are sweating like an ox yoked to a plow!

Cerkutay : Osman is hunting down Geyhatu's guards protecting the wagon one by one.

Balgay : There is no need for us to attack. Let Osman serve us. Let him clean the fish scales, and we will claim the prey.

Kongar : What business does Osman have with the Princess who is to marry Geyhatu?

Balgay : Clearly, those who gave Osman the Laws of Genghis Khan now want the Princess.

Kongar : Who does Osman work with, Commander Balgay?

Balgay : Dark spirits, of course. Don't you see? Let Osman finish our job first, and then we will settle our account with him.

(Shamanic Ritual)

Balgay : Get ready... The spirits that abandoned me are drawing near. I feel it in my blood-circulating veins. Erlik Khan, may the power be yours!

At Kulucahisar Castle

Sofia : Are you ready, Commander Salvador?

Salvador : We will set out with a team of mask-wearers, Princess. I will search every single hidden spot you know to trace Osman's path.

Sofia : While tracking him, perhaps you will find Osman himself.

Salvador : If God grants it and I find him, I will be honored to lay his carcass at your feet, Princess.

Helen : Look at how the traitor plays his role .

Sofia : Is that a bad thing, Helen? Dündar Bey won't leave the tribe; he will take it back. Alişar will remain Sanjak Bey as before. In other words, Alişar will herd Dündar and the sheep beside him. Since we possess the Laws of Genghis Khan, we will guide Alişar. Don't worry, Helen. Fortune is on our side. We are moving step-by-step toward getting rid of that trouble named Osman.

Helen : Princess, I could not find the Master. He went to the Margarit Monastery.

Sofia : There was a task for you. A Byzantine princess has set out from Nicaea. Master Yannis is concerned for her safety. He wants you to go after her with a special unit. Listen closely to what I am about to tell you..

Episode 17th ---- { Last Part }

In Forest

(Bamsı Bey is emotionally tending to Abdurrahman Gazi's sword, missing his old comrade in arms.)

Bamsı : "Oy... oy, my companion in battle, my partner in grief, my brother! Ah, glorious Abdurrahman Gazi! Ah, untamed lion of the Kayı! Hold on, Abdurrahman Gazi... hold on, my brave warrior!" .

(Gündüz Bey enters and observes Bamsı Bey.)

Gunduz : "Ah... What is it, Bamsı Bey?" Abdurrahman Gazi is a reminder of my father... And this sword is not just my weapon; it is my companion, my confidant."

Bamsi : I know, Gündüz. I know..." Gündüz... Alişar didn't suspect anything, did he?" Well done, my son! How cleverly you tricked that Mongol half-breed!" What my Osman said turned out to be true. Through Dündar Bey's alleged death, we saw the trap being set for our tribe."

Gunduz : And we learned how to outsmart traitors and wage war against the infidels at your hearth, Bamsı Bey!"

Bamsi : May all the effort I put into raising you be blessed and halal, my son! You have made me proud! Now, the end of the road is in sight, my son. Alişar's death is near." Even so, a thousand foxes scheme in his mind.

Gunduz : Since he wants to take Aygül and Zöhre at such a critical moment, Dündar Bey must be staying by Alişar's side."

Bamsi : My son, we need solid proof, not just suspicions."

Gunduz : That part is easy, by Allah's will, Bamsı Bey! I will dispatch the Alps to follow the carriage carrying them. We must find Dündar Bey."

Bamsi : May you live a thousand years for your wisdom, my son! May you live a thousand years! As soon as the news we are waiting for arrives and we trace Dündar Bey, Alişar's end will be sealed." Gündüz... crushing Alişar under the very stones of his own mansion is now our sacred duty, my son! Bismillah (In the name of Allah)."

At Alisar Mansion

Aygul : It seems this was written on our forehead; we have lost both our lives and our camp. Our condition is worse than those we once called refugees.

Zohre : O Allah, give us strength. Give us the strength to endure this pain, O Lord.

Alisar : I wish I could welcome you with joy, but it was not meant to be. Those who meet in sorrow form stronger bonds. My home is your home. It may not extinguish the fire in your heart, but it will bring you some comfort.

Zohre : Dundar Bey

Aygul : Father.... Father... Father... My father!

Dundar : They couldn't do it, my daughter, they failed. Do not be afraid, I am here. Aygül, your father is beside you. Do not fear, my daughter. Alişar Bey took me from their hands.

Zohre : My Bey, thank God you are alive and well beside me.

Dundar : Ah, my brave child... My dear soul... My son, my son... Does it suit you to die at such a young age? Does death suit you when you are so young, my son?

Zohre : Dündar Bey...

Dundar : I will hold those who did this to you accountable, my son. I swear I will hold them all accountable. Do not worry, my son, I will not let those who harmed you go unpunished.

Flashback

Alisar : Thanks to you, Osman became an enemy to his father. And thanks to you, Dündar will become an enemy to Osman. They will spill each other's blood, and then I will settle the score with Balgay . I will make all the enemies destroy each other.

Back to Reality

Alisar : We surely won't let those who brought us to this state get away with it. We will grab the collars of those who inflicted this pain on us.

Aygul : Allah is great. Now it is their turn to give up their lives.

Dundar : We will stand tall against them.

Alisar : Dündar Bey, power and dominance are ours now.

Dundar : Let us bury our deceased as soon as possible. I will bury my grief in the ground along with my son. But my anger-my anger is my leashed dog; it will walk with me at every step I take. From now on, they will see a completely different Dündar in front of them. I will crush them all like insects! My son, my lion... Praise be to Allah, I will crush them all like insects.

In Forest

Siddik is in the forest with the soldiers when the dervish appears, Siddik spots him and hides so the only Siddik sees him Siddik orders the soldiers to go in another direction.

Siddik: This way. Come on, hurry up. Don't fall apart. l'm coming too.

Siddik pins the paper to a thee with a dagger for the dervish to find the leaves; the dervish approaches the paper, takes it and reads it.

Dervish: Need to get thus Bamsi bey

The dervish leaves quickly.

In the forest.

Osman and Boran ride their horses along the forest path.

Dundar, Alisar ,Aygul and Zohre are at Batur's grave: Dundar and Alisar are praying Zohre is lying on the grave, and Aygul looks sad.

Dundar:Come on, woman get up, the rest is prayer, come on, get up.

Zohre : Look, look Dundar bey that's your son. Aslan Batur's. Batur who defeated the whole world for his father's sake, where did we put our child to sleep, Dundar bey, may child, did you come as a companion to the dark earth before.

Aygul approaches Zohre but Zohre raises her hand to signal her to stay back.

Alisar looks at Aygul then at Dundar and Zohre without them noticing the men hidden in the brush watching them.

Zohre : You could even have the spring of your life.

Zohre cries.

Alisar looked at Zohre

Zohre : My could. May the one who looks at your life not find happiness in this world. My son, my son you, who is the son of Suleyman shah Dundar bey.Let's see, look who's with you at your son's funeral? How many people are there? It's not just your child who goes to the grave. Osman has buried your reputation on this land as well.

Dundar takes a bit of sand from the grave.

Dundar: My son, my son l dead body.

Dundar takes Batur's sword from the tomb and says.

Dundar: that l will tear off the arms of Osman who killed him the kind will turn gray with four when they see that l'll do to him l will make a road out of the heads of those who followed, Osman and walk on it, l will pull their headless bodies one on top of the other to make a mountain in so that it may be a lesson. To those who beg for mercy for those who killed my Batur. Let it be a lesson. Come on, woman, come on.

At Alisar Mansion

(Scene opens showing Dündar Bey, Zöhre Hatun, and their loyalists recovering after being saved.)

Şahin Bey & Demirci Bey : Dündar Bey! My Bey... Thank God, thank God!

Dundar : If we are alive, it is thanks to Alişar Bey. He pulled us out and saved us from Osman's hands.

Şahin Bey & Demirci Bey : Eyvallah... Eyvallah, my Bey!

Alisar : Our friendship is for the afterlife. But what burns me, what burns me inside, is that only three Beys with any sense left are in the Kayı camps... That is what grieves me!

Dundar : The Beys nearly killed me... Power is now in Osman's hands. However, thanks to Alişar Bey, the bloody plan they devised will crumble upon all of their heads.

Alisar : You have learned this, and every living creature breathing in these borderlands will learn it as well: Whomever Alişar extends his hand to, power belongs to them!

Sahin Bey : Osman placed Gündüz Bey on the Bey's post! We were forced to bend the knee and kiss his hand. He is no different from Osman! What shall we do now, my Bey?

Dundar : Osman killed my son Batur and spilled brotherly blood! Until we kill Osman and those standing behind him, there will be no peace for us in this world!

Sahin Bey : But my Bey, our strength is very small right now...

Dundar : Either you trust your Bey, or you stand behind Osman! If you trust your Bey, listen carefully to my words!

Zöhre : My heart is scorched, Dündar Bey! We lost our child, we lost our home, we lost our tribe! What more can Osman do to us?!

Dundar : Ah, Osman... Ah, Osman! Calling his madness "courage", doing whatever he pleases and calling it "custom" (töre)... Osman! They think the field is left entirely to them! Let them think so, Hatun! Let them think so and enjoy it! Later, I will descend upon them with all my wrath, and I will make everyone who followed in Osman's footsteps regret it bitterly!

Zohre : We lost everything... How will we rise again? How will all this happen? What do you have in mind, my Bey?

Dundar : The time to say that will surely come, Hatun. For now, Alişar Bey is what matters to us. We will achieve victory thanks to him.

Zorba : Dündar Bey, Alişar Bey wishes to see you in the courtyard.

Dundar : Let this be your last tear, God willing. They took our child, but they will not be able to take our homeland!

Aygül: How are you going to explain this to my father? What do you think he will do when he finds out you made a deal with the Mongols?

Zöhre : My grief and trouble are already higher than my stature-I cannot deal with you right now! Get out of my face!

Aygül: Mother, it cannot go on like this! You must tell my father-he needs to know!

Zöhre : Don't give me advice, Aygül! You just manage yourself, that is enough for me. We've already seen what happened when you acted like a know-it-all!

Aygül: My father will find out soon anyway. If not today, then tomorrow... Won't it be heard that you collaborated with the Mongols?! If you don't tell him, someone else will!

On Engürü Road.

Guard: So, you will be Geyhatu's new concubine, huh? We are returning to Konya, hurry up, lazy ones! Hurry! We are under attack!

Osman : The princess is escaping! Boran Go, I will cover you!

Boran : Eyvallah, my Bey!

In Forest

Bamsi : Come here, Gündüz.

Gunduz : We will do whatever it takes to keep them alive.

Bamsi : We cannot take her to the camp, Bamsı Bey.

Gunduz : If we bring him to the tribe, Alişar and Dündar Bey will realize that we know everything.

Bamsi : I know, my boy, I know. Is there any news from the Alps?

Gunduz : So, our suspicions were proven right.

Bamsi : Dündar Bey fell into Alişar's trap, huh?

Gunduz : Believing that Osman was Batur's killer, Alişar wants to exploit Dündar Bey's grief of losing his child.

Bamsi : It was obvious from the way Alişar slithered in stealthily like a poisonous snake. Dündar unleashes him upon us so that his dirty games can be washed in the blood that flows. But my son, since he set up such a plot, Alişar will seek support from the tribe. The wells where Alişar will feed his nest of mischief are obvious.

Gunduz : Ayaz!

Ayaz : Yes, my Bey!

Gunduz : You will keep the Blacksmith Bey and Şahin Bey under close surveillance. You will track every step they take and everyone they meet. If you suspect anything, send a word to me immediately.

Ayaz : The command is yours, my Bey!

Bamsi : My boy, I pity Dündar Bey's state. When he learns the truth, how will he look us in the face?

Gunduz : We must save Dündar Bey from the clutches of that snake. To do that, Bamsı Bey, we need to collapse the snake's den over its head.

In the Forest of Engürü Road.

Princess Adelfa : What do you want from me, Turk?

Boran : There is no need to fear, Princess Adelfa. I came to save you from becoming a concubine to Geyhatu.

Princess Adelfa : I don't believe you.

Osman : Be calm. We came here not to harm you, but to host you as our guest.

Princess Adelfa: What do you want from me?

Osman : To prevent your marriage to Geyhatu.

At Alisar Mansion

Dündar : Are you ready for the big day, Alişar Bey? Until Osman's strife comes to an end, the blood to be shed is permissible. Gündüz has surrounded everywhere with his Alps. It will be a tough battle.

Alisar : Before sunset, Geyhatu's nökers (warriors) will come directly under my command. We are not alone, be assured. You cannot even estimate how much Geyhatu trusts me, Dündar Bey. When your loyal Alps and Beys see you, the blood that will flow will also be the end of the scourge of Osman that spreads like a plague over the plain. The Alps in Söğüt and those on patrol are my duty, do not worry about them.

Dundar : I will trample under my boots those who trample upon the authority given to me by my elder brother. Today is the time for vengeance, Alişar Bey! I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life.

Alişar : Heaven forbid, I only did my duty for these lands. In fact, I am the one grateful to you. If there were no resolute Bey like you, only a pleasant echo of past days would remain of the Kayı tribe... along with brave men left without graves. Your brave son Batur... if only he were by your side on this blessed day. I would not want Süleyman Şah's lineage to end with you. Zöhre cannot give you a son anymore, but I would like to find and marry you to a Bey's daughter who will continue your line .

Dündar : The one who will carry on the lineage of my father Süleyman Şah is my son Bahadır, whom I once exiled because of Osman.

Alişar : Bahadır? Learning that you have another son brings relief to my heart. May Allah make your son's path and fortune bright.

In Forest Of Enguru

Princess Adelfa: Why are you doing this?

Osman : Isn't the fact that the Mongols are enemies to both of us enough?

Princess Adelfa: Until Constantinople calms down .

Osman : We will host you at our camp. Afterwards, you can leave whenever you wish.

Princess Adelfa: For days, I was thinking of killing myself. How strange that I will stay alive thanks to the friendly hand of the Turks whom I hated.

Osman : Do not bow down before anyone except in the presence of the Creator.

Princess Adelfa: May God protect you, Turk.

(Sounds of horses and approaching soldiers interrupt them.)

Alp: There are tracks here, they went this way.

Boran : Sounds are coming. Someone is coming. No one should know we are here.

Osman : Balgay ! If we go together, they will get what they want and capture us. Take the princess and head to the tribe. Go!

Boran : The command is yours, my Bey! Let's go!

Osman : (Facing the enemy) Come on, Balgay! Come on!

In another Forest

Sheikh : May it be good, Akçam... A shadow has fallen upon your face. I see you deeply lost in thought.

Akcam : I listen to my inner soul, Şeyh... We came to these lands to wait for the Ahi brothers. Most of our companions in Söğüt were broken and perished; we could not find our path and establish a homeland. I know despair does not suit your doorstep. Yet, my heart aches because of the suffering we endure.

Sheikh : Almighty Allah asks in the 214th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah: "O believers, do you think that you will enter Paradise without such trials as came to those who passed away before you?" This world is a realm of trials, a graveyard of the living. The earthly home is an arena of tests, Akçam. It requires patience, gratitude, sound judgment, and reliance upon Allah (Tawakkul). Here, you must hope for mercy from Allah so that you do not fall at the mercy of servants. The world is false, Akçam. Unless you forget the lie, you cannot remember the Truth (al-Haqq).

In Forest Of Enguru

Kongar : Where is the princess?

Osman : I see your strength is only enough against women! Come and fight like a real man!

Kongar : If your eyes wish to see a real man, come then, Osman! Catch him!

In another Forest

Sheikh : What are our sufferings compared to what the believers suffered during the Era of Bliss (Asr-ı Saadet)? Especially those years of social isolation and sorrow... After the believers migrated to Abyssinia, the idolaters left nothing undone against the Muslims. They cut off all trade and even forbade intermarriage. This lasted for three full years. Pain, hardship, and deprivation multiplied exponentially every moment. Believers ate the bark and leaves of trees out of hunger. The cries of hand-sized infants were heard from far away. Just as these perils were overcome, other griefs were experienced. The Holy Prophet's (PBUH) uncle Abu Talib and his wife Khadija passed away. Just when it seemed attacks had ended, they increased. The Messenger of Allah took his adopted son Zayd ibn Harithah and went to relatives in Ta'if. But misfortune and troubles found our Prophet there as well. First they mocked him, then they stoned him. Though those on earth accepted this oppression, those in the heavens did not. Angel Jibril (Gabriel) descended and said: "O Messenger of Allah, what do you wish me to do? Say the word, and I will bring these two mountains down upon them." The Prophet of Mercy replied, "No, no... I hope that from their offspring there will come believers who believe in Allah and associate no partners with Him." Oppression had begun to push minds to their limits when news from Medina became medicine for wounds and a cure for suffering hearts. While the idolaters in Mecca tried to destroy the believers with torture and cruelty, the people in Medina began converting to Islam. They invited the Prophet of Mercy to Medina. In a short time, there was no household left untouched by Islam. And then... then the believers conquered Mecca. In short: the end of night is day, the end of winter is spring, and the end of an uphill path is flat ground. Know this, Akça: he who does not bear calamity with patience cannot reach relief.

Akcam : Eyvallah, my Şeyh, eyvallah...

Bala remembering her moments with Osman's

Osman : Just as there is no one else in my heart but you, I have no intention of looking for anyone else, Bala. You are my prayer. And my whole world too

Bala : Osman you also are my whole world now

Osman : When we love each other so much , that's why god sended me to protect you from that ambush bala so we can have our happily ever after with our children .

Bala : Osman now even i also believes this is all god's plan to have happily ever for us with our children .

Osman : Being without you would destroy me. Being without you is the biggest obstacle between me and my tomorrow. You are my strength, my power, the light of my path. You are my dream, my love. That's why l promise that l will always do everything l can to protect you and stand by your side. As long as God allow l will never abandon you.To receive my Şeyh's blessing and build a home with you is my greatest dream. You are my deep passion, Hatun (Kara Sevdamsın). As long as we are together and I am with you, that's all that matters to me the most, Bala .

Bala : As long as you and I are there together , I accept everything, Osman...

Back to Reality

Bala smiles face shown .

In Forest Of Enguru

At Mongols Camp

Balgay : Ah... I have waited a long time to kill you, Osman. The spirits tell me: "You asked, and we gave you Osman." However, Erlik Khan does not demand your life-he demands your sword. On this blessed path of Genghis Khan that I have taken, our fates are woven together, Osman.

(To his men)

Untie him.

From what I see, you also do not want Princess Adelfa to marry Geyhatu.

Osman : What do you want from me?

Balgay : I want to fight back-to-back with a warrior like you Osman .

Osman : I told you that my sword is not for sale.

Balgay : I surely know I cannot buy you with position or gold.

Osman : Then why do you want my sword?

(To his men)

Balgay : Give it to him. If I wanted to, I could take both your life and your sword, Osman. You defeated me, and Geyhatu defeated you.

Osman : What does that mean? Spit out what is under your tongue.

Balgay : No one except Geyhatu and the Byzantine Emperor knew the route Princess Adelfa would take. I see that you have learned it too. Someone whispered this in your ear. Who whispered it? I do not know, but I know very well why they whispered it, Osman . If Geyhatu married the princess, it would have been the end of the border Turks. To prevent this, they whispered it in your ear. Who did this, why, and with what power? I do not know, Osman Bey. The only thing I know is that you and I are heading toward the same target, Osman Bey.

Osman : I would rather die a thousand times than be at the same destination with you!

Balgay : Even if Geyhatu has sent a huge army to take the camp from your brother, Osman Bey?

At Alisar Mansion

Alisar : I couldn't offer my condolences properly... May Batur's place be in Paradise.

Aygul : Amen. My brother is gone, but my father is here. Thanks to you, may Allah be pleased with you. Thank you.

Alisar : You have another problem on your mind, Aygül Hatun.

Aygul : Is what has happened not enough? Unfortunately, when I entered my room to fetch a book, I heard the words... I inadvertently heard what Zöhre Hatun did. I know the burden on your back is heavy.

Alisar : It is a family matter. It would be better if you had not heard it, Aygül Hatun.

Aygul : As you wish. Let it be as if I didn't hear it. But... Why? My mother did something wrong. Doesn't my father need to know? How can I knowingly keep it a secret? On the other hand, I think about it... if I tell him, I can't predict what my father will say. I am afraid...

Alisar : "Learn to silence your raw emotions, Aygül. Observe and wait. You were born the daughter of a Bey, and you have rooted yourself in the heart of a Sanjak Bey. If Allah decrees that you become my wife, you will step into a far grander arena of politics and power. You will command authority beyond this tribe. But until that power rests firmly in your hands, do not interfere with the current flow of events."

(He hands her a gift)

"Let the pieces fall where they may. Once they settle, you can pick them up and place them wherever you desire. The anger in your eyes does not suit your beauty. Flowers, jewels, and joy are what suit you."

Aygul : "In your palace, it seems the path to happiness is paved with gallows and executions."

Alisar : I know what you have to say is important to you... but the time is not suitable.

Aygul : My gift is accepted, Alişar Bey. Speak.

In Forest Of Enguru

At Mongols Camp

Osman : I am listening to you... Dündar Bey is still alive. How do you know?

Balgay : I have spies in Konya and Söğüt, Osman Bey. Geyhatu wants the Laws of Genghis Khan and his dagger, just like you. Even if you hate me, you know I will stand before you like a true warrior. But is Geyhatu like that? He played with us both. Alişar, whom you thought was a good man, turned out to be Geyhatu's chief spy.

Osman : What do you mean?

Balgay : He appointed Alişar as the Sanjak Bey. This evening, a large army will arrive in Söğüt. The only thing he wants-and what I want-is the Laws of Genghis Khan. Hold on, don't get excited yet; I am not finished. Osman Bey, do you know where Dündar Bey is now?

Osman : Where? In Alişar's hands. He wants to crush your brother, destroy the camp, and put Dündar at the head of the camp. While fighting with you, he was the one who shot my uncle!

Balgay : A lie! Your uncle? He also killed Batur...

In Kayi Tribe

Zorba : Gündüz Bey, Alişar Bey invites you to the mansion.

Gunduz : Convey my greetings to Alişar Bey, messenger. Accepting an invitation is custom. I will be there before dark.

Zorba : As you command, my Bey.

Bamsi : If you go, they will harm you, my son.

Gunduz : I know, Bamsı Bey.

Bamsi : Then why go?

Gunduz : It was your advice during warrior lessons, Bamsı Bey: If you run from trouble, trouble grows. You must walk straight toward it. Either it will take you, or you will crush it.

Bamsi : So be it, my son. Then it is time for battle. Now listen to me carefully, Bamsı Bey..

At Alisar Mansion

Saltuk : You are better, my Bey.

Dundar : To avenge my child's blood, I will be even better, Saltuk. Vengeance is the whip of a brave man.

Saltuk : Today is our day of vengeance,

Zohre : Aygül.

Aygul : It is time for my father to learn about the deeds you have done.

Dundar : Is there any news from Osman?

Saltuk : There is none, my Bey. But God willing, when he returns, he will see you at the head of the tribe.

Dundar : Until Osman is dead, I cannot be sure of anything, Saltuk.

Saltuk : I know, my Bey, I know. This time, Osman's end has come. Geyhatu has sent a massive army; it is said they will be here before sunset, Alişar Bey.

Dundar : Zorba sent a message to Gündüz and invited him to his mansion. When Gündüz arrives, he will receive his punishment, and the tribe will remain yours. Today is the day of reckoning, Saltuk. There is no one who will hold account for the blood that will flow.

Aygul : Father, I have things to say.

In Forest Of Enguru

In Mongols Camp

Balgay : Geyhatu wanted to bind Byzantium to tax through this marriage and pursue gold.

Osman : And you wanted to overthrow Byzantium with the power of Genghis Khan's laws and go after the gold yourself.

Balgay : Genghis Khan says: "There is only one power that brings two enemies together: their mutual interests." Where did your Alps take the princess?

Osman : To a safe place.

Balgay : Why keep her alive and look for trouble when you could just kill that woman and be free of her, Osman? Don't you know that mercy breeds trouble?

Osman : What about Alisar ?

Balgay : Alişar's friendship with Princess Sofia and his pursuit of trade were always the things Geyhatu wanted. Until I came and sent Alişar to Konya. Ah, curse the day I sent him! Instead of taking him out, I sent him to Konya. That was the biggest stupidity I have ever committed.

Osman : My uncle thinks I killed Batur.

Balgay : That's why they will kill Gündüz first, then Bamsı Bey and Samsa Bey. And in the end, they will kill you. Your sword is in its sheath, your horse is ready. You have rested enough; if you wish, go to your tribe. But when you go, you will see that Gündüz, Bamsı Bey, and Samsa Bey are dead. You will see Dündar on your father's post, Alişar as the Sanjak Bey, and a Mongol army under his command. Or... both of us will take what is rightfully ours and continue on our path. Either stand with me and fight against Geyhatu, Dündar, and Alişar......or go to your tribe and die. The choice is yours, Osman.

Osman : We have an agreement, Balgay. I am with you. May our alliance be fruitful .

Osman : Keeps his hand on his heart .

Balgay : Keeps his hand too on his heart .

Osman's smiling face is shown and jenerik plays on .

18th Episode ----- { Part 1}

At Alisar Mansion

Dundar : "Call me father, my daughter." What is wrong? It is clear that something is troubling you. Pour your heart out."

Aygul : There are things you need to know, Father..."

(Alişar Bey enters the tent, interrupting them)

Father !

Alisar : Dundar Bey . Aygül Hatun, there are important matters to discuss, if you will excuse us."

(Aygül leaves)

Dundar : "What is going on, Alişar Bey?"

Alisar : "Gündüz Bey and the other tribal lords are coming here. As the Sanjak Bey, I wish to re-establish order once again."

Dundar : "You are doing what is rightfully yours."

Alisar : "I want us to seize Gündüz right now. Go back to the plain as the Bey and reclaim the Kayı lead tent!"

Dundar : "Why not..." ..but what shall we do about Osman, Alişar Bey? And then there is Balgay. If I take the lead tent, it is obvious how Osman will react. Balgay is also our enemy. What if Osman and Balgay form an alliance? We might have to fight both forces."

Alisar : "If Osman and Balgay have allied, then judgment day has come!"

Dundar : "Do not say 'impossible', Alişar Bey. In my lifetime, I have seen things you wouldn't believe..."

Alisar : "We will teach them both a lesson then! Gayhatu is on our side. He demands Genghis Khan's Yassa laws from Osman.

Dundar : So long as you stand firm like a rock, Gündüz will end up in the dungeon the moment he arrives! Let him pay with his life if necessary-let him see what it means to overthrow me and sit in the Bey's seat!" And after that, it will be Osman and Balgay's turn, Alişar Bey! My heart burns with the fire of revenge! Until I rip their lungs out, even taking a breath is forbidden to me!"

In Mongols Camp

Balgay: Where are the laws, Osman? Now that we have agreed, and since you are willing to come with me even in a hurry... tell me where the laws are.

Osman : Why are these laws so important to you?

Balgay : When Genghis Khan is concerned, we would burn the entire world, Osman! He brought us from non-existence to existence, from misery to greatness. Once, we were homeless; now, the entire world is ours!

Osman : You have taken Genghis for a god. The only power you worship is waging war and plundering! For now, perhaps you have won a victory... but you lack the spirit to seal that victory.

Balgay : The spirits are with us! All the shamans give us power! What are you talking about?

Osman : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

"O disbelievers! If you prayed for victory, now has victory come unto you. And if you desist, it will be better for you; and if you return to the attack, We shall return to the defense. Your forces will avail you nothing, however numerous they be; for Allah is with the believers."

Balgay : You are all ruined and destroyed! Your homelands are ours, your palaces are ours, your sons and daughters serve us, and you pay taxes every year! What does your God do? Where is He then?

Osman : Do not let the respite Allah gives to oppressors make you arrogant, Balgay! The words in your mouth are no different from those of Pharaoh and Nimrod. When Allah decrees to send down His wrath, neither your soldiers nor anything else can protect you!

Balgay : No need for excess words! Where are the laws? First, I will see if you spoke the truth. Are they in the palace of your uncle, Alişar? My messenger birds told me so. Until now, I have never heard them lie.

Osman : We shall see.

Is there water?

I will perform ablution (wudu) and pray (namaz). After that, we will set out on the road.

Balgay : Is this the time for delay now? Our enemies wait for us!

Osman : Before prostrating to our Lord, no work comes first. You will wait.

(Osman prepares for ablution while Balgay speaks to his Mongol commanders outside)

Cerkutay : What is he doing?

Balgay : It seems he is going to purify himself and worship.

Cerkutay : How can you trust him, Commander Balgay?

Balgay : Who said I trust him? At the very first opportunity, he will try to strike me down and save his father. We will wait a short while. Be cautious-keep your eyes and ears open!

In Kayi Tribe

Ayaz: All preparations are complete, Gündüz Bey. We await your command.

Gunduz : Everyone will keep their eyes sharp and stay on high alert; one can never tell what sign Alişar will give. Indeed. Should we fall into an ambush there, we will turn that ground into hell for them.

Bamsi : Hey Maşallah, hey Maşallah, hey Maşallah to these braves! Maşallah, Maşallah! Look at my braves! Oh, I see forces forged like steel! This truly suits my Gündüz!

Gunduz : As you used to say, Bamsı Bey: "Before the blade strikes, fame arrives first. To bring an enemy to their knees, you must first unleash the power of fear." We simply strive to put your words into action as best we can.

Bamsi : Maşallah, my Gündüz, Maşallah! I will remain on standby at the camp. It is clear Alişar is up to something dishonorable. If things go wrong, I will prepare the people to rise up. Every man, woman, and child will become part of our army. Ay, we are an army-nation! An army-nation!

Gunduz : May Allah forbid Alişar and my uncle from making such a grave mistake...

Gündüz : Is there any word from Osman, Bamsı Bey?

Bamsi : My Gündüz, that is precisely what worries me. It has been a long time...
(Boran arrives) Boran! Where is Osman, Boran?

At Mongols Camp

Cerkutay : Look at him... Even if we slit his throat right now, he fears nothing.

Kongar (Goktug ) : Dying for what one believes in is the highest desire of a Muslim. He possesses a faith as solid as rock. If we had even a fraction of the faith he holds, we would enslave the world to ourselves.

(Osman Bey's Supplication / Du'a)

Osman : O Allah! Make me among those who walk the straight path. There is no deity except You, the Possessor of Greatness. You are the Lord of the seven heavens and the Supreme Throne. I glorify You far above any imperfection. All praise belongs solely to You, Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

O Allah! Keep my blade sharp, keep my faithful horse swift, and grant us victory against the oppressors, O Lord!

(Osman Bey meets Göktuğ & Balgay)

Balgay : Let us go now. We have lost time because of you .

Osman : Balgay , What is this rush? Walking the road with me comes at a heavy cost-you are already frightened by a simple prayer! Stand back... No, let us move quickly so our alliance does not become obvious.

Balgay : Let's move! Haydi!

In the tribe Kayi.

Burcin and Ayrbas were standing in front of Bamsi bey, they both looked happy and a little nervous.

Bamsi looked at them.

Bamsi: What happened? Why do you both look so serious?

Burcin smiled.

Burcin: Bamsy bey, we have some news to tell you.

Aybars held her hand.

Aybars: Burcin is pregnant.

Bamsi was surprised for a moment , then broke into a big smile.

Bamsi: Pregnant?

Burcin nodded, emotional.

Burcin: Yes.

Bamsi took up and embraced them happily.

Bamsi: What wonderful news. May God bless you and this child.

Aybars smiled.

Aybars: Amen, Father.

Burcin smiled as well.

Burcin: We wanted you to be one of the first to know.

Bamsi placed a hand on Aybars's shoulder.

Bamsi: Prepare yourself my son. A new adventure is beginning

Gunduz: What will you do Boran? What do you mean l left Osman with Balgay henchmen? Tell me.

Selcan hatun and Bala and Burcin leave the tent. They look at each other worried about what they have just heard.

Gunduz: What kind of warrior are you? How could you do this Boran?

Boran Osman's bey order is unquestionable. He entrusted his belongings to me and told me to leave.

Selcan and Bala worried.

Boran: My bey certain my has his reasons.

Bamsi and Aybars looked.

Gunduz: The Alp's we're not going to Alisar's mansion.

The Alps place their hands over their hearts.

Alps: Thank you, sir.

Gunduz: Come on

The Alps mounted their horses and galloped.

Boran: Gunduz bey.

Gunduz: What?

Boran: Our guest is Princess Aldefa, nice of the Byzantine emperor.

Gunduz Selcan Bala Burcin and Bamsi and Arybars look at the Princess; the princess remains silent.

Gunduz: So, that emperor's nephew, huh?

Boran: If Osman bey hadn't interfered she would have been married to Geyhatu, if there had been a.

Bamsi: Marriage the sentence at the end would have been Oguz's downfall. That is why my Osman sent the Princess with you even at the cost of his own life.

Boran: My bey he ordered me to entrust the princess to your care let their identity remain confidential nobody should know.

Bala: God protect Osman.

Selcan looks at Bala worried.

Gunduz: Welcome to the Kayi tribe,Princess.

The Princess shakes her hand.

Gunduz: Aunt Selcan you fake care of our guest but the people won't know his identity.

Princess: l am grateful l hope l haven't disturbed you.

Selcan: You are a guest sent by God, my daughter you have a place about our heads, Bala come with us too. You go, my daughter.

Selcan and Bala take their princess to the tent.

Gunduz : Oh, Osman, oh... How could you sacrifice your own life and throw yourself into such danger?

Boran : If you give permission, I will ride out with the Alps too.

Bamsi : There is a secret behind this, my Gündüz. There is a deep reason behind all this. May Allah make it end well . Since Osman abducted the Princess, and Balgay was there... there will be no battle, but rather peace . My Kara Osman must be planning an alliance with Balgay!

In Forest

Osman : Running his horse Karayel on full speed and stops then remembers sheikh's words

The Flashback

Sheikh : "Align wisdom with love, my son, so that the dark clouds hanging over the Islamic world may scatter, despair may end, laziness may cease, and the fire of resurrection may burn fiercely once again, by Allah's will."

Osman : Amen, my Sheikh...

Flashback ends

Osman : O Allah, grant me the strength to always use my mind and heart for Your approval and pleasure." Then starts running his horse karayel again .

In Alisar's Mansion

Zohre : "You won't stop, you won't settle down, will you?"

Aygul : I won't settle down, Mother." You feel no shame for what you have done, but I do! My father will find out anyway-it's better if he hears it directly from me."

Zohre : "If you speak... if Dündar Bey finds out, you know very well what will happen to me!" You act without thinking, Aygul ! Our tomorrow is uncertain!"

Aygul : And you act far too calculatingly. It shows in everything you do." I kept comparing my brother Batur with Osman, hoping my brother would stand out! You blamed Osman without cause, you turned my father against him over and over! And when that wasn't enough, you went..."

Zohre : When that wasn't enough, I went. You speak the truth. Your father couldn't manage it, so as a mother, I did what was necessary! Look, your father is discussing with Alişar Bey-who became Sancak Bey by Mongol decree-how to hunt down Osman! How are we any different?"

Aygul : My father is the Bey! While the grand Bey's trust is in his hands and the borderlands are in turmoil, doing what statecraft demands is his duty! But you? Was it your place?" My father is loyal to his tribe and custom! You betrayed them, mother! The difference is your treason!"

Zohre : If that's how you see it, my child, so be it. A mother does anything to protect her children... But if her own child calls her a traitor, what should that mother do? My only concern is this household! I only want you to be well!" Mark my words: if even a single hair on your head were to be harmed, even if my only hope lay with the Mongols, I would still go! Rather than throwing you into the fire, I would burn myself!"

Aygul : I will keep quiet on one condition, mother: tell my father yourself. If he hears it from someone else, everything will turn out much worse for you."

At Kulucahisar Castle

Salvador : "Helen..." Where is Princess Sofia? They said she isn't in the castle.

Helen : She went to an important meeting! As castle commander.

Salvador : Why wasn't I informed?"

Helen : Despite your promises, you still haven't found out where Osman is, Salvador. I think you should focus on that instead.

Salvador : I know every place they go, every hole they crawl into! Our soldiers are tracking his trail everywhere. Sooner or later-"

Helen : Sooner or later you'll find him, I'm sure. Princess Sofia thinks so too, Helen...Alişar Bey must also learn the truth. Fine, my lord..."

Salvador : The mother's spy... what happened? Since you came all the way here, there must be major developments."

Helen : "Osman has returned! Not only that, but he and Balgay have joined hands against Princess Sofia!"

Salvador : "That's impossible!"

Helen : Osman... Salvador, you still don't know Osman. And yet you claim you will track him down."

In Kayi Tribe

(Moments of jealousy, maternal wisdom, and Princess Adelfa's rescue.)

Bala : "Insha'Allah, Osman's head won't fall into trouble because of a Byzantine woman."

Seclan : Is jealousy flowing through your veins, my daughter Bala?"

Bala : "No, Mother Selcan, I am just worried about Osman..."

Seclan : "Since the moment has come, let your Mother Selcan offer two words of advice for you to keep as an earring in your ear: My Osman is a famous brave, a wild hero, the most handsome man in the world! There will be many women dreaming of becoming his partner! You need to stand strong against them starting right now!"

Selcan (to Princess Adelfa): "Mashallah! How did it turn out? Does it suit you? You look like a world beauty, princess my child! Let us build a home for you here."

"We have many brave Alps alongside my Osman Bey-we could marry you off to one of them. They might not give you palaces like Geyhatu, but they will turn their tents into palaces for you!"

Princess Adelfa : While I would prefer going to hell over that marriage, believe me, this place feels like paradise."

Seclan : "Come on then..." Tell us, how did all these things happen?"

Princess Adelfa: "For months, messengers went back and forth to Constantinople. Geyhatu sent letters and gifts, and finally convinced the Emperor to agree to the marriage. I didn't want it! I prayed so much, I begged so hard for this marriage not to happen... Thank the Almighty Jesus, he heard my voice and brought Osman Bey across my path!"

Seclan : Geyhatu's plans were thwarted by my Osman! Thank goodness, or else who knows what mischief that Mongol would pull behind our backs and what trouble he would bring upon us..."

Princess Adelfa: "Osman Bey is a real hero! He rescued me from the hands of those tyrants. You should have seen that moment-he risked his own life for me! A true hero!" May Almighty Jesus protect him, may Mother Mary safeguard him... If anything happens to Osman Bey, I will never forgive myself."

Selcan: "My child, I have a few things to attend to. The princess is entrusted to you."

Bala: "Don't you worry at all, Mother Selcan."

Selcan: "Alright then, let's see..."

At Alisar Mansion

Alisar : It is clear that Balgay's misconduct has exhausted Geyhatu.

Dundar : He wishes to bring order to the borderlands, and he desires to do it with you. The fact that he shares his intention for reform with you shows that the bird of fortune is still on your head, Alisar Bey !

Alisar : There is no longer just "me," Dundar Bey-there is "us." We were already connected by allegiance, and once we are bound by blood, no one can shatter our alliance. Our first order of business will be the Kayı tribe. Let us take back my post first.

Dundar : It cannot be done with mere words; a bloody struggle awaits us, Alişar Bey. My son's revenge tightens around my neck like an iron collar. Sleep does not enter my eyes. I must take vengeance for my Batur!

Alisar : Once you take the post and become both the Kayı Bey and the Border Bey, the rest will be easy, God willing! Those who took the life of my late brother-in-law will regret what they have done.

Dundar : There will be those in the tribe who will not consent to me taking the post. There will be plenty of noise and uproar over this matter.

Alisar : Why do we feed so many soldiers? Why do we host Geyhatu's commanders? If they will not bite the adversary when the time comes, why keep so many dogs leashed to this door? First, we will surround the tribe, and then we will descend upon them! Those who are truly loyal to you will not just stand and watch; we will drown them in the blood they have spilled, Dundar Bey .

Osman : Seen arriving at Alisar Mansion on his horse Karayel .

Alisar : To what do I owe this sudden visit?

Osman : Where is my uncle, Alişar Bey?

Alisar : We knew Dündar Bey was dead, but as you can see, he is not here!

Balgay : Into whichever hole you put Dündar, bring him out! Otherwise, I will throw you both into deep wells!

Alisar : You are speaking to the Sanjak Bey appointed by Geyhatu! Mind your tongue, Balgay, or I will cut it out!

Balgay : When did you become a lion to roar like this?

Alisar : I see two sworn enemies have allied against me. I did not know I intimidated you both so much!

Osman : Cut it short, Alişar! Where is my uncle?

Alisar : Everyone in the borderlands says you killed my uncle. Wherever you buried him, he was there .

Osman : Alişar! If you think everyone who holds a seal is Solomon, you are mistaken! Your title of Sanjak Bey holds no sway over me. I ask one last time: Where is Dündar Bey?

Alisar : Wherever you buried him, he is there!

Osman : Balgay, are you lying, or is he?

(Osman signals his Alps to search the mansion)

Balgay : Search the mansion! What is it, Alişar? You seem stretched tight like a bow. What are you hiding?

Alisar : If anyone should be stretched tight, it is not me-it is you! You dare search the mansion of the Sanjak Bey appointed by Geyhatu? Are you not afraid at all? And alongside a rebel who harmed the Kayı!

Osman : The Kayı Bey is my father, and my brother is his deputy! The real rebel is my uncle, whom you are hiding. How will you answer for this, Alişar?

Alisar : I am the Sanjak Bey! Whoever I call Bey is the Bey!

Osman : With us, a Bey is chosen by Oguz tradition, not by decree! My brother derives his power from there. Where do you derive your power from, Alişar?

Alisar : You killed Batur, and where Dündar is remains unknown. What kind of tradition is this, Osman Bey?

Osman : We neither harmed Batur nor touched your uncle! All tracks lead back to you, Alişar! When I expose this game, you will look for a hole to hide in!

Alisar : Whatever happened to the Kayı tribe happened because of your impudence! Osman .

Osman : We will not ask you about limits or boundaries! These games will trip you up; you will have nowhere left to run!

(The Alps return after searching)

Kongar ( Goktug ) : There is no one in the mansion!

Alisar : Who tricked whom, huh? It seems one of the carrier pigeons was lying! Well, this is as far as your alliance goes.

Osman : Do you know why I will not spill your blood? So they won't say Osman Bey spilled Muslim blood in front of a Mongol infidel! But the next time we meet, I will sever your head from your body! Then they will say a hypocrite died!

Balgay : You try to play games with me using your bird brain! Do not cross my path again, or you will be crushed under my feet, know this!

Outside Alisar Mansion

Osman : The information you gave was incorrect, Balgay.

Balgay : You said my uncle was with Alişar. We both know you lied.

Osman : A good commander has good spies; if your messengers deceive even you, woe to the Mongol army! Still, I will keep my word to you. Since you wish to know who possesses the Laws of Genghis Khan, then let me tell you: Yannis had them. What you are looking for is in Kulucahisar Castle!

Balgay : You strike me through my associates!

Osman : You claim to have entered so many battles, yet you still cannot distinguish friend from foe! Yannis demanded the Laws of Genghis Khan in exchange for your life! Let his allies settle accounts with him!

Balgay : (To his soldiers) Prepare yourselves! You will turn Kulucahisar Castle into a graveyard! If you do not bring back what belongs to me, know that I will tie your head to my ancestor's saddle! That is an order!

Kongar (Goktug) : Your order is ours, Commander Balgay! Where will you go?

Balgay : I am going to hold those who embarrassed me accountable to Osman Bey!

White Beard Person : You are expected, Osman Bey.

Osman : I will come!

In Forest

Aygul : Where did this idea of returning to the main camp come from? Don't you know what awaits you there?

Zohre : I know. Of course I know. But my father deemed it appropriate. A person cannot run away from what they have done, my Aygül. Once you see that you cannot escape...

Aygül: Father!

Zohre : My Bey, are you alright?

Dündar : I am fine, I am fine, I am fine. On one side, an arrow wound; on the other, a dislocation... But now I am better. Do not worry.

Zohre : Dündar Bey, would you like us to pause for a moment and catch our breath? Saltuk, my son, gather some kindling from around here. We will light a fire so we do not freeze when we stop. My Bey...There are things I need to tell you.

Dündar : What is it, Hatun? Speak. Speak, Hatun. What is troubling you? If you are worried about returning to my brother, do not be worried at all. Our heads are held high, by God's will.

Zöhre : Your head is held high, and your heart is at ease. But I am crushed under the weight of what I have done, my Bey. First, know this: my regret for what I did is only because I trampled over you.

Dündar : Zöhre, do not push the limits of my patience. Spill what is in your mouth! What have you done that makes your head turn, huh?

Zöhre : I went to Balgay.

Dündar : Can your ears hear what is coming out of your mouth?

Zöhre : My Batur had gone after that Osman. And when you said, "I have no such child," I was left helpless, my Bey!

Aygül: Father! Father, don't! Step back, step back!

Dündar : Tell me properly what on earth you have done!

Zöhre : As Batur went after Osman, I did not want him to fall victim to the cruelty of the Mongols. I went to Balgay and offered Osman in exchange for Batur. I didn't want my child to be harmed!

Dündar : What else? What else?!

Zöhre : to find out who had alerted Geyhatu, Balgay grabbed me by the throat! How could I say it was you, my Bey? I told him the one who informed me was Gündüz!

Aygül: Father! Father, I beg you, don't! Step back, step back!

Dündar : What have you done to me... What schemes have you woven behind my back, Zöhre?! How could you trample over me like this, huh?! Pull your hand away! Do not touch me! It turns out I have been nursing a snake in my bosom for years! Shame on you! Shame on the bread you ate from my table! I have a child who is more precious to me than my own life-for his sake, I will not take your life. But if I see one more mistake from you, I will not listen even to him! Swearing on my life, I will take your life! Make sure you understand this well, Zöhre! Until this arrow I plunge into the ground strikes your chest... that moment will be your end!

In Kayi Tribe

Princess Adelfa : Isn't it difficult to live in a tent, Bala Hatun? Don't you freeze in the winter? If it rains, won't these houses made of cloth collapse?

Bala : Please, go ahead. Not a single drop of rain enters inside. It stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We call these hair-goat tents; they are made of felt and are very sturdy.

Princess Adelfa : Do the servants and masters live in separate tents? How do you organize it? Do you have servants?

Bala : Princess, we do not have servants. Among us, everyone is one and equal. We do not know servants, slaves, or masters in our tribes.

Princess Adelfa : But how can that be? Who does your chores?

Bala : Everyone handles their own work. Our faith does not permit slavery, Princess. In Islam, service is only to Allah. Women and men divide the work, and everyone takes on duties according to their skill and capability.

Princess Adelfa : What about your king? Is Osman Bey your king?

Bala : Our tribes are managed by tribe Beys. The Bey of the Kayı tribe is Osman Bey's elder brother, Gündüz Bey.

Princess Adelfa : Everything you have is so different! But thank Almighty Jesus that He brought Osman Bey, and of course all of you, into my path. I will pray for all of you.

(Commotion is heard outside)

Bala : Go inside the tent and stay there, Princess.

Princess Adelfa: What is happening, Bala Hatun? What will you do?

Bala : Go inside the tent, do not be afraid. I will check who has arrived.

Tribespeople / Alps: Welcome, Bey! Welcome, my Bey!

Dündar : O Allah! May Allah not separate anyone from their land and homeland. O Lord who granted me the blessing to return to my tribe, grant me the opportunity to take my revenge as well.

Aygul : Amen, my father, amen!

Gündüz : Uncle... With what face do you come to this tribe?

Dündar : And with what face do you stand against me, huh? Did you take advantage of my supposed death, sit on my post, and now dare to demand an accounting from me?

Gündüz : We know you collaborated with Alişar! The alps saw you with Alişar at Batur's funeral! I warn you, do not tell more lies and lower yourself further.

Dündar : Thanks to Alişar Bey, I found my child's killers! What did you do, huh? What did you do? You hovered over my daughter and my wife! If you had tracked down our enemies instead, I would not have been forced to ally with Alişar Bey!

Gündüz : What are you saying, Uncle? Who is Batur's killer? How did you find him?

Dundar : Did you only think to ask this question now, huh? You left me alone with my grief ! Together with Alişar Bey, we found the soldiers loyal to Balgay who killed my Batur! Right here, with these very hands of mine, I took revenge for my child! What did you do, huh? What did you do?

Gündüz : Hold on, Uncle, just catch your breath! Let us speak about this matter calmly.

Dündar : I will tell you what you did! You banished my daughter and wife just because they sought refuge in Alişar Bey's mansion! As if that were not enough, you targeted my life! Here we all are—if you think that is not enough, take our lives too!

Gündüz : Sending Zöhre Hatun and Aygül to Alişar's mansion was not without reason!

Dundar : I know everything that happened! However, before declaring a traitor to be a traitor, according to custom (Töre), we listen first. We do not label anyone without understanding why they did what they did. Whatever Zöhre did, she did it to seek a remedy, not to throw fuel on our father's fire! If there is an account to be settled, I will be the one to ask for it! Surely there are questions to be asked and accounts to be given, and there is a time for each! From now on, know that Dündar Bey will not let anyone get away with what they have done!

18th Episode ----- { Last Part }

At Alisar Mansion

Melik & Alişar: Melik asks if Dündar Bey can be trusted or if he might be playing a game against them.

Alisar : Alişar explains with an analogy about a sheep-how it gets sheared repeatedly until it becomes accustomed to it, unaware when the blade is finally brought to its throat. He says for now, they are just "shearing" Dündar. As long as Dündar is driven by ambition and grudge, he will continue to serve them. Alişar orders Zorba to urgently take a letter to Konya, warning him to be vigilant and guard it with his life.

Alişar & Melik: Alişar speaks about Balgay, saying he will make Balgay dance like a puppet on these lands once everything is revealed.

In Forest

Boran: Arrives and says, "Thank God I found you, my Bey."

Osman : "We weren't lost to be found, Boran .

Boran : Confirms that he safely delivered the Princess.

Osman : Mentions that Alişar is up to something and that he will stay out of sight until he figures it out. He instructs Boran to inform Bala Hatun, as she knows where to find him. directs Boran to take a few Alps and set up an ambush along the Konya road to intercept Alişar's message and learn what he is communicating with Konya.

Boran : agrees and departs.

In Kayi Tribe

The morning sun shines over the bustling Kayi camp. Children let well in the tents. And forge hammers echo in the distance.

Near a quiet shaded corner behind the weapons tent Dundar bey and Shahin bey. Their expressions are tense voices lowered to hushed whispers. A few stops away behind the thick wool canvas of an adjoining tent. Bamsi bey and his son Aybars stop as they hear Dundar distinct. Urgent voice Bamsi raises a hand. Signaling Aybars to halt and stay quiet.

Dundar bey

(Looking around nervously) Did anyone follow you here ?

Speak quickly, we cannot afford any sups where Osman and Balgay are watching every breath in this tribe.

Demirci Bey : No one saw us at Dundar Bey, the Alps are occupied at the perimeter. What is Sancak Bey? Alisar instructions.

Sahin bey

( Surprised)

A Byzantine woman in the Kayi tribe? So Osman held Princess Aldefa right under our noses?

Dundar bey

( Nodding sharply.)

Precisely! Alişar Bey wants us to trace her, snatch her quietly from the tribe, and hand her over to Geyhatu. Do you understand what this means? If we hand Princess Adelfa to Geyhatu, the Mongols will give us whatever we ask-gold, land, and full auth

BEHIND THE CANVASES - DAY

Bamsi Bey's eyes widened in disbelief. His knuckles white as he grips the hilt of his twin swords (pusta). Beside him, Aybars gasps quietly, his hand instantly darting to his dagger.

Aybars

(Whispering furiously)

Baba... Dündar Bey is plotting with Alişar Bey to kidnap Osman's captive and deliver her to the Mongols!

Bamsi Bey

(Grit teeth, holding Aybars back)

Shh... keep your voice down, my lion! Let them spit out all their poison so we know every head of this snake.

Shahin Bey : What about Osman and Balgay, Beyim? If Osman discovers we took the princess, he will raise his sword against us.

Dundar Bey : For now, we play the tame sheep! We swallow our pride, bow our heads, and bury our anger deep. Let Osman think he rules. While he is distracted with Balgay, you two will track down where the woman is kept. Once you find her, kidnap her without leaving a trace-and kill anyone who gets in your way!

Demirci Bey : It shall be done as you command, Beyim. No one will suspect a thing.

Dundar Bey : Good. Once my son Bahadır arrives with our reinforcements, we will be stronger than ever. Neither Osman nor Balgay will be able to stand against us. Now go, before anyone sees us together!

Demirci Bey and Şahin Bey : offer a quick head bow and walk away in opposite directions into the crowded alleyways of the camp. Dündar Bey adjusts his cloak, glares toward Osman's tent with a bitter sneer, and walks off toward his marquee.

BEHIND THE CANVASES - CONTINUOUS

Bamsi Bey : steps out from behind the tent canvas, his chest heaving with fiery rage.

Aybars : steps beside him, his gaze fierce.

Aybars : Baba , Dündar Bey has sold his state and tribe for Mongol gold and Alişar's favor. Should I inform Osman Bey immediately?

Bamsi Bey

(Looking after Dündar Bey, voice heavy with grim determination)

May Allah protect us from the traitor inside the tent, my son... An enemy outside can be met with a sword, but a traitor inside pierces the heart from behind. Come, Aybars! We go to Osman at once. Today, the wolf will learn what the sheep has been planning!

In Kulucahisar Castle

Salvador : You called for me. What is happening, Helen? Who is coming?

Helen : We have an important guest.

(Commander Kongar arrives on horseback and enters.)

Helen : Welcome, Commander Kongar . We would have liked to prepare for your arrival, but unfortunately, there was no time.

Kongar : Where is Princess Sofia?

Helen : She is not in the castle. She asked me to take care of you when you arrived.

Kongar : You are either fools, or you trust your god too much . If I wanted to, I could bring this castle down on your heads. Yet you don't have a single soldier on your walls! Is this how a castle is guarded? If we considered you an enemy, there wouldn't even be any pleasure in destroying such an enemy.

Helen : My soldiers only protect us from the Turks, Commander Kongar-not from a great commander like Balgay.

Kongar : Shut up! Since you knew I was coming, you surely know why I am here.

Helen : Of course we know. But if you wish, step inside first. I can have a room prepared so you may rest.

Kongar : Do not play games with me! Give me what belongs to Balgay. Give it with your own hands so that his iron fist does not destroy your towers over your head. Do not stall, woman-I have no time to wait for you. Move!

In Forest

(Osman Bey's Alps are waiting in ambush along the road.)

Ayaz: "Whoever goes to Konya, whether flying in the freezing air or running on the ground, stop them," said Osman Bey . God willing, brother, we won't return empty-handed.

Dumrul: Look at what you're saying, brother! Ever since I can remember, I have strived to be Osman Bey's Alp . Every Alp among the Oghuz wants to wield a sword, fight, and go to battle alongside my Osman Bey!

(A rider approaches carrying the message.)

Dumrul: Here comes the target!

Ayaz: Long live Osman Bey!

(They attack and ambush the rider.)

(Ayaz corners the target at knifepoint.)

Ayaz: Get down! Get down, or I'll take your life! Get down, or I won't hesitate to take your life!

In Forest

At White Beards Place

Osman : Selamünaleyküm. (Peace be upon you.)

Aksakallılar Elder : Ve aleykümselam. (And unto you there is peace.) May Allah's blessings be upon you, Osmancık. Please, sit. When the princess was kidnapped, Geyhatu went mad in his palace. The Byzantine ruler, who seeks help from the Mongols, has lost his mind. You have thwarted their games. May you live long and prosper.

Osman : May you live long as well, my master. Balgay confronted me .

Aksakallılar Elder : He wanted to kidnap the princess to regain his lost prestige. Even if we lose everything, we must preserve our dignity and our soul at all times.

Osman : But how is prestige lost?

Aksakallılar Elder : In this fleeting world, mankind strives relentlessly so as not to lose its reputation. Yet, through ungratefulness and lack of thankfulness, man first loses his reputation before Allah. Because our Lord's mercy is greater than His wrath, we remain standing despite everything. However, there is no condition as dangerous as a state losing its dignity and reputation, my child. So, how does a state lose its dignity, master? If the morality of the people who make a state what it is becomes corrupted, then its dignity begins to vanish. And how do we recognize that morality has been corrupted? If scholars have lost their honor; if there is injustice in the scales; if the family structure has collapsed; if respect for mothers and fathers has ended; if love between spouses no longer remains and divorces increase; if there is no desire for knowledge and wisdom is forgotten; if believers do not live according to what they believe-then the dignity of the state is shaken.

Osman : In such a situation, what should the leader of the people do?

Aksakallılar Elder : Leaders are like a mirror to society; the people see themselves in them. First and foremost, the leader must embody morality itself. Everyone should take him as a guide, live as he lives, and strive to be like him. Our Prophet of Mercy turned stone-hearted people into monuments of compassion. Out of the desert, he brought forth the water of mercy to cure the ailments of humanity. Now, there is a new duty. We shall set out on the road to ruin their new traps and games.

Osman : The journey/effort is ours, victory belongs to Allah. I am listening to you.

In Kulucahisar Castle

Helen : Princess Sofia knows very well that inside this box lies a promised paradise for Balgay . I hope Commander Kongar doesn't sell us out to Osman for the powerful Khanate that Balgay will possess thanks to these laws. Besides, if I were in your place, I wouldn't place too much trust in anything Osman's hand has touched.

Commander Kongar : When Balgay arrives, you can speak with him about this.

(Tension builds)

Helen : These lands you have turned into sea of blood for the sake of these sinister laws will be your end .

In Forest

At White Beard Place

Aksakallılar Elder : The Margarit Monastery is scheming a new game.

Osman : Who are they ?

Aksakallılar Elder : Who are they? Monks swore to eradicate the Turks at the border. Now they are plotting a new game-seeking an alliance with Geyhatu to place a new figure on the Byzantine throne. You must find out who this person is. We must deliver a severe punishment to them.

Osman : Infiltrating among them will not be easy. I will need to prepare.

Aksakallılar Elder : We will give you the necessary information. What you need to do is outlined inside this saddlebag; analyze it well. You will not be alone in this historic duty.

Osman : Who will my companion be?

Aksakallılar Elder : A Kayı brave of your own blood, your own kin, will be with you. He will find you. May your path be open!

"In this arduous duty, make open the path of this fearless brave who binds custom to wisdom. Let his name be a majestic mountain that the oppressor cannot cross! May his blade slice through the realms of infidels like silk fabric, and become a living spirit across ages for brave souls who fear not death. Ameen!"

At Kayi Tribe

[Kayi Oba - Bala Hatun's tent]

Aybars : Bala Hatun, I have learned something important.

Bala : What is it, Aybars?

Aybars : Dundar Bey and Alisar want Princess Adelfa to be kidnapped. Zohre Hatun is also involved in their plan.

Bala : They intend to take the princess from our tribe?

Aybars : Yes. But I believe we can stop them before they even begin.

Bala : Tell me.

Aybars : Instead of keeping Princess Adelfa here, we should secretly move her somewhere they cannot find her.

Bala : Where?

Aybars : To Osman Bey's secret cave. The hidden place far from the tribe. Only a few of us know about it.

Bala : Then that is what we shall do. Dundar and Zohre must never learn where she has been taken.

Gonca : Bala, I will come with you.

Bala : Good. We leave quietly and tell no one.

Princess Adelfa: Bala Hatun, what is happening?

Bala : Do not worry, Princess. We are taking you somewhere safe.

Princess Adelfa: I trust you.

Bala : Then let us go.

[Later - Outside Kayi Oba]

Gonca : Bala, the tribe is behind us. No one followed us.

Bala : Good. We must make certain nobody discovers our destination.

Princess Adelfa: Will Dundar Bey find us?

Bala : Not if we are careful.

Gonca : Once we reach Osman Bey's secret cave, they will have no idea where to look.

Bala : Exactly.

[Osman's secret cave]

Bala : Princess Adelfa, this is your new shelter.

Princess Adelfa : It is completely hidden.

Gonca : That is why nobody from the tribe knows where it is.

Bala : You will remain here until the danger has passed.

Princess Adelfa: Thank you, Bala Hatun.

Bala : We will protect you.

[Meanwhile - Kayi Oba]

Dundar : Zohre! Is Princess Adelfa still in the tribe?

Zohre : I believe so. Everything is ready.

Dundar : Then we will take her soon.

Zohre : But something feels wrong.

Dundar : What do you mean?

Zohre : I cannot find her.

Dundar : What?

Zohre : Princess Adelfa is gone.

Dundar : Search everywhere!

Zohre : I already have. Bala Hatun and Gonca Hatun are gone too.

Dundar : Bala has moved her!

Zohre : But where?

Dundar : I don't know.

Zohre : Then our plan has failed.

Dundar : We will find them eventually.

[Zohre approaches Burcin and Aybars]

Zohre : Burcin! Aybars! You know where Princess Adelfa has been taken.

Burcin : We know nothing.

Zohre : Do not lie to me.

Aybars : We have nothing to tell you.

Zohre : So neither of you will answer me?

Burcin : No.

Aybars : You will not learn anything from us.

Zohre : Very well.

[Zohre walks away, frustrated.]

Zohre : They have defeated our plan...

[Burcin and Aybars exchange a knowing look.]

Burcin : She still has no idea where Princess Adelfa is.

Aybars : And she never will.

[Zohre turns back and proudly watches Burcin from a distance, determined to figure out what they are hiding.]

Zohre : Keep your secrets for now, Burcin Hatun. I will discover them.

[Burcin remains calm, knowing Princess Adelfa is safely hidden.]

Burcin : You can watch all you want, Zohre Hatun. You will find nothing.

[The scene ends with Zohre watching from afar while the secret location of Princess Adelfa remains completely unknown.]

At Forest Top Hill

(Osman is tending to his faithful black horse, Karayel, while speaking his mind.)

Osman : "Ey Karayel, we have braved so many hardships together... So many enemies we have brought to their knees for now. Yet all of them-like an angry bull waiting for the moment we fall-are waiting to seize our throats. That is why we must always stay alive, always vigilant... Ah, my faithful companion, Karayel."

(He strokes Karayel's mane and smiles.)

"I say it is high time for marriage. Sheikh Edebali has been in retreat for a long time. When he returns, I will go and ask for Bala Hatun's hand. What do you say, Karayel? What do you say? Hey, Maşallah!"

(He pauses, teasingly.)

"What if he does not give her to me, Karayel? Then let it be my vow-I shall abduct her! Ha! ...Unless, of course, she does not give her consent."

(He turns and sees Bala Hatun approaching.)

"Ey, Maşallah... Here comes the moon-faced one."

Bala : "May good fortune be upon your path, my Osman Bey."

Osman : "Fortune has arrived indeed, Bala.

Bala : Looks at him and smiles

Osman : Looks back at her and smiles .

At Alisar Mansion

Merchant / Servant: "It is a hyacinth, my lord. Brave and nimble..."

Alişar : "It's too light. I want something sturdier and more grounded."

Merchant: "Of course, my Bey... This white horse comes from the Arab lands."

Alişar : "You know your craft well. Thank you, my Bey."

Merchant: "Do not cut off your visits from my mansion."

Alişar : "Your command shall be done, my Bey.

Alişar : "What happened to Zorba?"

Messenger: (Hesitates)

Alişar : "Have you swallowed your tongue? Speak up!"

Messenger: "The soldiers along the border found Zorba's horse. They killed the messenger, but Zorba is nowhere to be found."

Alişar : "Do you know what happens if Zorba falls into Osman's hands? Do you?! Our entire setup and schemes will be completely exposed! Either Osman captured Zorba, or Balgay did!" Balgay is after Genghis Khan's laws, but Osman is behind this move. Quickly send word to Dündar! If Zorba is brought to the camp, tell him not to hesitate-take his life! Even the smallest mistake can destroy all of us! Go, hurry!"

At Forest Top Hill

Bala : How wonderful it is to see your face smiling! What is it that makes you so happy?"

Osman : "The steps I take reach their destination, and by Allah's permission, the plans I make work out for our good, my Bala'm. Why shouldn't I smile? Thank Allah."

Bala : "Rescuing the princess was a wise move. She liked her as well; it seems she will not want to leave. Naturally..."

Osman : "Our door is open to whoever wishes to stay. In our tribe, we have space to share and bread to eat, thank Allah.

Bala : She is said to be the niece of the Byzantine Emperor... The power behind her is great. Though, you would know better than I do."

Osman : "Well, I do know many things about her. I have inquired thoroughly. Princess Adelf is very important, by Allah, very important!"

Bala : "If she is that important, rest assured, Osman Bey-I will protect your trust at the cost of my life, and ultimately deliver her safe and sound to you."

Osman : "The princess is important, yes... But if not for her, how would I have witnessed the concern of the lady in the palace of my heart? If not for her, how would I have beheld the fierce passion of the love in your heart, my moon-faced one?"

(Bala looks down as a teardrop gathers in her eye.)

"Bala... Would this Osman not flip the entire world upside down for a single tear from your eye? Don't you know this, huh? Don't you know, my Bala? Why do you darken your heart? Why? Does it suit you?"

Bala : "Your place in my heart grows larger with every passing day, and the fire of longing for you burns ever hotter... I could not bear it. When love can no longer be contained within the heart, reason leaves the mind, Osman."

Osman : "As long as you never withhold your love, I will let no one make a target of you, nor will I let anyone crush you. Keep your mind and your heart at peace. You are written on my forehead, my Bala'm... Praise be to the One who wrote you into my destiny."

(Bala transitions back to the pressing tribal affairs.)

Bala : "Osman... Dündar Bey has returned to the tribe. Previously, Alişar Bey came and took Zöhre and Aygül to his mansion. Now they have all returned together. Dündar Bey said, 'I found the killer of Batur.' He even said he would pay allegiance to Gündüz if necessary."

Osman : "Alişar and Dündar... What scheme are they plotting now?"

Bala : Osman I have moved princess adelfa to our secret base cave for safety because Dundar and Alisar wanted to kidnapped her that's why we me and gonca moved to our secret base

Osman : smiles and well done in protecting her Bala'm

(Boran Alp enters quickly.)

Boran : "Is there permission, my Bey?"

Osman : "Enter, Boran."

Boran : "I have important news!"

At Kayi Tribe

Saltuk: "My Bey..."

Dündar : "What happened, Saltuk? What news came from Alişar Bey?

Saltuk: "He believes Osman kidnapped Zorba. He says we must find Zorba's trail and eliminate him, otherwise all our plans will be overturned."

Dündar : "Oh Allah... Now we have to deal with this, too! Osman is nowhere to be seen. If they caught Zorba, they will interrogate him." "Follow one of Osman's Alps and track their trail. If you find him, kill him!"

In Forest

Sheikh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Bismillah. (In the name of Allah) Do you know what an ant means, Akçam?

Akçam: I do not know, my Sheikh.

Sheikh : For those who know how to look, it is not merely an ant . For those who know how to read, it is a sign (ayah) from the book of the universe . It is the symbol of hard work, perseverance, and unity .Ants are weak on their own, but when the weak come together, they show how strong they can become .

Zulfikar : How do we see this, my Sheikh? What is required to see it ?

Sheikh Edebali: One must guide and cherish the water droplets like Zulfikar . If you remain alone as a single drop, at best you will turn into vapor and vanish in the sky .However, if you blend into the river and open up to the deep seas, you become a home for the fish and fertile water for dry fields . You learn through living that strength comes from unity . Your powerlessness becomes your strength, not your weakness . In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful . Almighty Allah showers us with a rain of wisdom in Surah An-Naml-the Chapter of the Ant . Prophet Solomon (Hz. Süleyman), the greatest power of his age, sets off on a campaign with a magnificent army .Yet, that vast army stops out of respect for the rights of a single ant . Why? Because what made Prophet Solomon's realm magnificent was not merely ruling over the world it was the fact that even while ruling the world, he respected the rights of a single ant .

Akçam: How can such justice be upheld, my Sheikh ?

Sheikh Edebali: Prophet Solomon was the greatest ruler of the realm. The domain of Solomon was the most prosperous land in the world . Believers could not even find poor people to give charity (zakat) to; they were held up as glowing examples everywhere . While his army brought fear to every oppressor, it served as hope for every oppressed soul . To learn the secret behind this prosperity, rulers from dozens of states came to visit Prophet Solomon, including Queen Bilqis . Those who came were left in awe of what they witnessed . Moral progress had far surpassed all other forms of development . The people's love for the Hereafter far exceeded their love for this worldly life .When the time for prayer arrived, people stopped chasing worldly blessings and ran to prostrate in gratitude to the One who granted them . May Almighty Allah grant the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad such an awakening from the sleep of heedlessness .

Akçam: Amen, my Sheikh. Insha'Allah, will we also be able to see such days ? Will we be able to break free from this hardship ?

Sheikh Edebali: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful .

Akcam : Believers have abandoned the compass of knowledge, morality has collapsed, and the values that define us have been scattered .

Sheikh : If we become the Solomon, the Dhul-Qarnayn, the Joseph, and the David of our age under the guidance of Divine Revelation, why should we not see those days, Akçam ? Almighty Allah did not tell us these stories just as simple tales, but so that they become our high ideal and purpose , and so that these figures serve as our guides . If we hold fast to His rope, He is surely the One who keeps His promise . In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful .

At Forest Hill Top

Boran : My Bey, as you commanded, we intercepted Alişar's messenger heading to Konya. This note was found on him .

Osman : Thank you, Boran .

Bala : What is written in the letter, Osman Bey?

Osman : Alişar told Gayhatu that the princess was seized by us and invited him here with his army. He says that I am the one disturbing the peace here, Balgay is supporting me, and we are rebels rising in revolt . Now it is clear why my uncle (Dündar Bey) suddenly came to the camp. He was going to kidnap the princess. But as usual Bala saved her on time before this happened and moved her into our secret base location now .

At Kayi Tribe

Bamsı : Son, this arrival of Dündar is no good omen either.

Gunduz : Whether it brings good or evil, only Allah knows.

Bamsı : Where were you? I went to my father, Bamsı Bey... Did you expect me to send my greeting to Alişar's mansion?

Bamsı : Indeed, son, indeed... But when there is a thief inside, the lock on the door won't hold.

Ayaz : We captured the rogue, my Bey. He is waiting for us outside the camp.

Gunduz : Let us go and break the seal on his tongue, Bamsı Bey. Let us see what is hidden beneath it.

Bamsı : Let us go and break it, then.

Dundar : What is the hurry, my nephew? Where are you going like this?

Gunduz : There are missing goods bound for Yenipazar. A caravan is coming, and I am going to check on them. Should I not?

Dundar : Indeed, indeed. Yenipazar is important to us. The goods sold there are life-giving water for our father's legacy. As I have always said: without silver coins, there is no ruling authority. You understand this better than anyone in this camp. You saw it closely when you sat on the Beylik seat. One thing I also saw was the support you gave me. Despite any resentment or hurt feelings, I cannot forget it, my nephew. Custom (Töre) stands strong with power, but it moves forward through experience. I see you are very ambitious. If there is a task for your uncle, do not hesitate to say so. Besides, my brother would have wanted to see us shoulder-to-shoulder like this

At Barn

Saltuk : Dündar Bey has separated the white from the black... Now it falls upon us to dye both the white and the black in blood red!

Aybars: Aygul, Burçin and I have some wonderful news to share with you.

Aygul: What is it? You both look so happy.

Burçin: Aygul... we're having a baby!

Aygul: Truly? You're going to have a baby?

Aybars: Yes, our friend. We wanted you to be one of the first to know.

Aygul: Oh, my dear friends!

Aygul happily gets up and hugs Aybars and Burçin.

Aygul: May Allah bless you both and your little one. I'm so happy for you!

Burçin: Thank you, Aygul.

Aybars: Your happiness means a lot to us.

They gently pull apart and look at one another with big smiles.

Aygul: What wonderful news!

Burçin: Our little family is growing.

Aybars: And our friend is celebrating with us.

The three share another warm smile.

Aybars : Now only Osman is left to be told about this Burcin

Burcin : Yes and I feel he would happy for us

Aybars : Yes why not he is my brother and he always supports me

Burcin : Looks at Aybars and smiles

Aybars : Looks back at Burcin and smiles .

In Forest

Ayaz : Struggle in vain , bully . You can't leave here without making a sound .

Zorba : Do you know what you're doing ? I am the aide de camp of the governor of the province. Alisar Bey turns this place into a bloodbath .

Ayaz : Instead of considering Osman Bey's warth....you still keep saying Alisar . Then punches Zorba and says you idiot .

Saltuk : Ayaz...you'll see what warth is like in a moment . Put that down ,

Dumrul : Comes from behind and puts his sword on Saltuk's neck then says Saltuk . Come on .

Amateur hunter , brother . While out hunting , he was hunted by a tiger .

In Kayi Tribe

Dundar : Long story short.....there's no need for arguments...no pointless trouble , my nephew . One misfortune is better than a thousand pieces of advice . I measured a weighed everything . What happened....cost me a child . You almost lost Aybars but Osman saved him . You got a second chance but did not got in my son Batur , Bamsi bey . Now I understand it was God's punishment on me for doing wrong deeds as bey in kayi beylik . But as for me... I sent my own son, Batur, off all alone." It feels as though a fire is burning right here inside my chest. Even if the river running through the middle of this camp flowed through my heart, it still wouldn't extinguish this flame." "If you think I made a mistake in what I have done, attribute it to my grief, nephew... In short: There cannot be two heads on one body . The Töre (tradition/law) has chosen you as Bey. It falls upon us to pledge allegiance (bay'ah) to you."

Gunduz : "Estağfirullah..." (God forgive me / May God forbid...

(Enemy soldiers approach through the thick forest.)

Dumrul : Let out a song, my brother... Thank you.

Ayaz : We need one of them... Yes, one of them is necessary. But since they are being tested, they cannot receive news from each other without coming together. There is some cunning here, my brother, some cunning...Pray...you are on Dundar Bey's aide . Otherwise , I would have killed you right here .

Dumrul : He couldn't have come this far for without permission from Dundar . There's something fishy is going on here , my brother . There's something fishy going on here .

Seclan : Always, Bala, my daughter. Their home is here-and we will welcome them with all our hearts.

[Bala and Seclan Hatun look at each other with joyful smiles.]

In Other Part Of Forest

Balgay : When what you have done becomes clear, neither you nor those with you will have a future!

Kongar : Are you denying me the honor of carrying the sacred Laws of our ancestor, Genghis Khan?

Balgay : I will give you a duty that is just as honorable,

Kongar : Commander. What is it?

Balgay : You will closely track Osman-the one who appears to be our ally, but is in truth our enemy. You will monitor his every step. It is not just the spirits of the earth and sky that protect him; there are others watching over him. We must find the source of that power.

Kongar : Your command is my duty, Commander!

Balgay : When I return, Osman will either pay homage to us or he will fall!

In Another Part Of Forest

Osman : Riding his horse Karayel at full speed .

( Then we hear voice of Aksakallılar Elder )

You will not be alone in this historical mission. A son of the Kayı, of your own blood and soul, will be with you. He will find what needs to be found. May your path be open!

Osman gallops at full speed with Kongar and the Mongols in close pursuit. He glances back the stops her horse Osman dismounts tales hold of the ruins and speaks

Osman : Come on, Karayel.

Osman releases the reins; and the horse Karael gallops off. Alone in another direction. Osman hides in the brush the Mongols arrive and halt their horse while Osman waits for them from his hiding place.

The soldiers check the horse tacks Kongar looks around.

Soldier: Osman dismounted from his horse the horse went this way.

Kongar kicks the soldiers, the soldiers fall to the ground and Kongar dismounts from his horse. He punches the soldier and says.

Kongar: Incompetent.

Kongar slaps the soldiers.

Kongar: What kind of scout are you? l have.

Kongar kicks the soldiers and he falls to the ground.

Kongar: No tolerance for stupidity. He wants us to fall apart. If cant find osman Balgay will take all our heads come on.

Osman : It's time for you to return to your true seed or the time of your death has come.

Kongar and the soldiers mount their horses and gallop off; Osman, who has been watching everything from hiding quickly this way.

In Another Part Of Forest

Bamsi : He is escaping! Run, run, run, run!

Hoodie men : Ya

Gunduz : He is escaping! Bamsi Bey .

Bamsi : He's escaping, my Gunduz !

Gunduz : Horses won't be able to catch up, Bamsı Bey.

Sofia : Kızılca... Kızılca! My son... Sofia definitely has her hand in this matter.

Gunduz : Since it came from Saltuk, someone from the camp (oba) must also be involved in this, Bamsı Bey.

Bamsi : In that case, all arrows point towards Dündar. Is that so? What if Dündar cooperated with Alişar?

Gunduz : I am certain he was with us, he couldn't have done it

Bamsi : If he came to us out of desperation and heartache, my Gündüz, he has many accomplices in the camp. Do not let yourself be carried away by your emotions, my Gunduz !

Gunduz : We will learn the truth, Bamsi Bey, we will learn it. Now, let us pray that Zorba does not die. Come on!

In the Forest.

Boran and Konur are in a sheltered stop with their horses.

Osman : Arrives and both men place their hands over their hearts as does Osman. Kongar is still after me. You need to convince him before it's too late.

Konur : Knows that l have fulfilled the task you give me to the best of my ability. Here is the document stating that Balgay bought Kongar, which is my brother Goktug, from the slave market.

Konur gives the document to Osman.

Osman : Reads the document. Yes, your brother Goktug, will also see Bakgay's true face.

Konur: What was hidden has become manifest. Even. takes the document back. Though his brother Goktug, will either believe us on he'll pay the price, Bey.

Osman smiles.

Konur: Would rather have a dead brother than a treacherous one.

The horse Karayel arrives and Osman speaks.

Osman: Mashaalhah

Konur and Boran : smiles.

Osman : [Calming his horse Karayel ] My soul...Then hugs and kisses him too .

In the forest.

Deep in the forest on Alp approached Zohre with a worried expression.

Alp: Zohre Hatun, we couldn't find Princess Aldefa.

Zohre : Gets immediately and becomes furious.What do you mean you couldn't find her.

The Alp : lowered her head. Osman Bey and Bala Hatun got there before us. They had already taken the Princess to another location for her protection.

Zohre : Chanched her fists Osman and Bala.

She turned away. Clearly angry that her plan to heal failed.

Zohre : Find them. l want to know where they took the Princess.

The Alp : Nodded.Yes, Zohre hatun.

He hurried while Zohre remained in the forest furious and determined to find Aldefa.

In Another Forest

Gunduz : "Now tell me... who killed Batur? Who killed Batur?!"

Zorba : "Batur's killer..."

(Zorba gasps for air and collapses)

Saltuk : "His life wasn't long enough... he died, poor soul."

Bamsi : "One of our roses has died; let's not lose another. Be calm, my son."

Gunduz : "Bamsu Bey, we will drop this Saltuk right at my uncle's feet. Let's see whether he knew about the treason or not.

Bamsi : "We will drop him, son, we will. Just stay calm... stay calm." .

In Kayi Tribe

In Dundar's 'Tent

Zohre : Dundar Bey! Princess Adelfa is nowhere to be found in the tribe.

Dundar : What?!

Zohre : I searched everywhere. It seems someone has moved her to an even safer and more secret place.

Dundar : (angrily) It is Osman and Bala! They have done this! Who else could have moved her without us knowing?

Zohre : But where could they have taken her?

Dundar : I don't know! And that is what makes this worse!

Zohre : Dundar Bey... what will we tell Alisar Bey now? Our plan to kidnap Princess Adelfa has failed.

Dundar : (furiously) We tell him nothing until we find her!

Zohre : And if Alisar Bey demands an answer?

Dundar : Then we will tell him that Osman has once again ruined our plans!

Zohre : So Princess Adelfa is truly beyond our reach now?

Dundar : For the moment. But I swear, Zohre... we will discover where Osman and Bala have hidden her.

In Another Forest

Osman : "Geyhatu is chasing a dark plot. He is in league with a dirty organization nested deep inside Byzantium." The name of this sinister order is the Margarit Monks. They are the ones who unleashed the evil of Yannis and Sofia upon us. Through this order, Geyhatu intends to place a secret figure allied with him onto the Byzantine throne. Once we learn this name, the only thing to do in response to a potential massacre of Turks in the borderlands is to raid them when they gather."

Konur : "Give the order, my Bey! Let us slaughter them all with our scimitars!"

Osman : "Of course, brother Konur. However, you will not come with me. I will go alone."

Boran : "My Bey, we cannot leave you alone in such a dangerous mission!"

Osman : "An order cuts iron, Brother Boran! I said you will not come. You will return to the camp to my elder brother, and you will tend to Kongar." And besides... who said I am alone? I will have a companion on this crucial duty."

Konur : And who might this brave warrior be, my Bey, going alongside you?

Osman : Who is great enough to infiltrate deep among these monks?"

Konur : Everything in the universe has a duty. Lightning strikes, thunder rolls, water flows... and a Turkish mother gives birth to heroes.

Osman : Eyvallah, brother Konur." However, Geyhatu has learned of this hero's existence. My concern is that both his life and our grand plan are in danger. My mission is to block Commander Böke, sent by Geyhatu. Böke comes to expose this hero who infiltrated the monks. They will meet in Kara Valley near Monks' Mountain."

Konur : Monks' Mountain is right over here, my Bey. But be careful-it is not our land."

Osman : Do not worry, brother Konur. Wherever our brave men step, wherever wolves tread, becomes our homeland! And you will see: the day will come when the shine of the Crescent will spread across all these lands!"

Konur and Boran Alp : "Insha'Allah, my Bey... Insha'Allah!"

At Mountain Monks

At Kara Valley

Master Denes: We will rest here. Until we meet up, there will be no more stopping. Go up to the hill and see if anyone is following us. I see you looking a bit anxious, Master Risto.

Master Risto : My heart fills with joy because we will be rid of the Turks, Master Denes. But I fear the price of collaborating with the Mongols. And once we overthrow the Emperor from his throne, will the new Emperor we put in his place be strong enough to deal with the Turks as they deserve? Are we sure about this?

Master Denes : I know he is an ambitious man. He grew up with a deep hatred for Turks inside him. He is ruthless, and just as intelligent.

Master Risto : Who is he? Who is this nobleman hidden from me and so many other monks, Master Denes?

Master Denes : When we gather with the other monks, you will learn who he is, Master Risto. Are we sure? So you were the snake that infiltrated among us and poisoned us!

Master Risto : We will not allow you to ally with the Mongols!

Master Denes : Kill them!

(Combat / Fighting Scene Begins)

Master Denes : Burn in hell, Turk!

Sungurtekin ( Master Risto ) : We will be the hell for all of you!

Monk : comes in sees all of them dead and traitor .

Sungurtekin : Releases the arrow which hits in monk's back then releases another one which kills him off

Monk : dies

Sungurtekin : Then raises his horses and yeah ! and leaves from there .

In Kayi Tribe

Gunduz : "Throw him into the caged tent!"

Bamsi : "Let's ask about this, Dündar Bey. When we call him a tyrant, we can read his true nature right from his eyes. Ah, will you turn out to be behind this matter again?" Come on."

Gündüz : "What is the matter, Boran? Why are you alone? Where is Osman?"

Boran: "My Bey, he is on a duty. He sent me back to the tribe thinking I might be of help."

Bamsi : "Oh, what duty is this?"

Boran: My Bey, Osman said, 'Go, lest my uncle falls into trouble.' You will learn the rest from him directly. It is my Bey's command, it is not my place to speak."

Gündüz : "Come, Bamsı Bey, let's go."

Selcan : "Gündüz! Bamsı Bey, wait a moment!"

Gündüz : "What is wrong, my aunt? What happened?"

Selcan : "Gündüz nothing is wrong, just wanted to inform you that Princess Adelfa has been moved to an even safer place now by Osman and Bala ! Bala went to check where zohre and aygul went near the tribe .

Gündüz : "Oh! Boran, quickly take the brave men with you and see Bala Hatun is safe or not

Boran : "Alright! Quickly, follow!"

Selcan : "Your uncle has waded into waters far deeper than his height, Bamsı Bey. Every time we try to turn a blind eye and settle things peacefully, his arrogance completely takes over."

Gunduz : "You stay here, aunt. We will go and talk to him."

Selcan : "You won't find him, Gündüz. You won't find him! Neither Dündar Bey is in the tribe, nor Zöhre, nor Aygül. I don't know what business they are after, but it is as if they have vanished into thin air!"

Bamsi : "This Dündar is asking for trouble... but this trajectory is not a good sign at all. Surely the place he will return to is right here. Let us be calm. When he arrives, we will stand right in front of him. When we tell him Saltuk is in our hands, let's see what he does!"

Gündüz : "Ah... I keep saying he is a legacy of my father, he is my uncle... yet he opposes us at every single step to this extent. What a pity. By Allah, what a shame!"

In Forest

Bahadır: As you commanded, I shot the tyrant with an arrow. Father... is he dead? He is dead.

Dündar : My untamed lion! May your father be sacrificed for you! No one saw you or got suspicious, right?

Bahadır: No one saw me. However, Saltuk was captured by them. That isn't good...

Dündar : Saltuk's mouth is sealed, son. Even if Karaçelik and Pusat were to press him with a battering ram, it would be in vain. God willing, my son... God willing. Even if he starts singing like a nightingale now, I wouldn't worry. Now that you have arrived, my back is firmer and my hand is stronger.

Bahadır: Bless you, my Bey father.

Dündar : What about your mother, Hazal Hatun? What is she doing? Did she not want to come, or has she forgotten her husband's path?

Bahadır: You know she is a Bey's daughter and strictly bound by custom (töre). She won't move an inch until the decree comes from you. But I know the longing in her eyes. She will come.

Dündar : She will come, my son, she will come. Once we clear away these thorns and brushwood ahead of us, she will come too.

Bahadır: The bond between you two was broken because of me... I made a huge mistake. Are you still angry with me, father?

Dündar : A large tent has large problems, my son. You were right in your own way, and so was I. And your mother, who stood by you and said, "If my son goes into exile, I won't stay either," was right as well. The people of the tribe think our relationship is distant. Let them keep thinking that way so we can play our game smoothly. Go to the tribe. Use the animosity between us like a sword. Let them believe we still hate each other. Let them think so, so they drop their guard and reveal their weaknesses. Meanwhile, I will pay a visit to Alişar Bey.

Bahadır: Your command is my honor, my Bey father.

In Another Part Of Forest

In Kara Valley

Aristo: Master... Master Denys was killed.

Master Tiassus: May God protect us! Who did this to you, brother?

Aristo: The Turks... Hurry, let us take him to Master Tiassus.

Priest / Reciter: "Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink."

Master Tiassus: Where is Master Denys?

Aristo: We were ambushed on the road, Master Tiassus.

Master Tiassus: Who did it?

Aristo: The Turks. There were more than 20 Turkish warriors. Most of us died.

Master Tiassus: Do they know our location?

Aristo: No.

Master Tiassus: How can you be so sure, Master Aristo?

Aristo: They were torturing Master Denys to learn our meeting place. To save him from the agony, I found a way and killed him myself. May Mother Mary forgive me... May she forgive my sins. Master Denys was both a mother and a father to me.

Master Tiassus: Believe me, you are safe here, Master Aristo. You accomplished a great task. But still, we cannot drop our guard. Everyone to their posts! Take precautions! Unless there is a traitor among us, there was no way for them to know our meeting place. Quickly, move!

Seclan : May it be easy for you.

Zohre : If it's easy, try doing it yourself!

Seclan : Why are you heading out with a cart just to collect herbs?

Zohre : As you can see, how else were we supposed to carry all this? If a stone hurts your foot, you know how to run to the infirmary . But as for how all those ointments and remedies are prepared, God knows!

Seclan : If a stone hurts our feet, it's fine. The tribe's people take arrows for the peace and prosperity of the tribe. If making remedies bothers you, don't do it-God willing, we will do it ourselves. Tell me, have you seen Bala Hatun?

Aygul : May our eyes not see her and may we hear nothing of her ! Selcan Hatun .

Seclan : You have become pitiful, my daughter. What a shame. Zöhre, listen to me! Bala Hatun is our guest, but she is nowhere to be found . If you know or heard anything, speak up. If you know and keep quiet, I will cut out your tongue! You won't even be able to say what you know after that .

Zöhre: Oh, oh, Selcan Hatun! My daughter should be preparing her trousseau, yet she's picking herbs . Instead of preparing for a wedding procession, we sit and work in the infirmary. What are you even saying? Shame on you!

Selcan : Dündar Bey hasn't been around for a long time. Where is Dündar Bey?

Zöhre : He has gone to his son's grave . Is he supposed to ask for your permission?

Selcan : Anyone with a clean forehead does as he wishes .We have nothing to say to that. But the shadow of betrayal has fallen upon you! Of course we will follow, of course we will ask .

Zohre : If you are that curious, send your men after him. You are testing the limits of patience! We are minding our own work and business, enough with pressing us!

Bahadır: Does it suit the women of the Kayı tribe to bicker like this ?

Selcan: Welcome, my son .

Bahadır: Zöhre Hatun mistreated my mother, Hazal Hatun, in her time . Selcan Hatun has never liked us from the beginning. However, she is my father's wedded wife; do not treat her like this. It does not suit you.

Selcan: Where is Hazal Hatun, son? Is she well?

Bahadır: She is doing very well, thank God. By God's leave, she will also come. We hope to experience the joy of reuniting again, and to be united as one once more.

Aygul : Welcome! How nice of you .

Bahadir : Aygül, my sister, you look as beautiful as the moon! Mashallah. Come, don't stand outside, let's go into the tent . Tell us what you've been doing all this time.

Alisar : Çobanoğulları is a strong principality. I didn't know you were relatives . You are even stronger now. Now it's time for Osman to return . When he returns, we will throw the encampment into chaos and take back the Beylik .

Dundar : Wouldn't it be better if we didn't wait for him to arrive, Alişar Bey?

Alişar : No. We will end this business once and for all . And at a moment they least expect.

Dündar : Everyone is on high alert. What kind of moment could that be?

Commander / Ally: We must leave here immediately. Give me the names of the spies inside the palace, Tezius.

Tezius: They are here... but first, there are some matters we need to agree on.

Commander: We will reach an agreement, of course. You have placed your spies right next to the Emperor himself. Commander Böke There is much more than that. Before our movement is exposed, we must finish our job and dethrone the Emperor. We have no time to lose.

Commander Boke : When Princess Adelfa marries Geyhatu, we will take gifts to the palace. Our nökers (guards) bringing the gifts and your spies will seize control of the palace together.

In Kayi Tribe

Bahadır: I know... back in the day, I caused all of you much trouble. I must have hurt or upset each one of you. If that is so, know that a completely different Bahadır has returned! I want past resentments, old quarrels, and conflicts to be erased and gone.

Gündüz : We certainly do not wish to bear grudges or become divided. Welcome back, you brought joy! I hope your return serves our unity and brings goodness. Inshallah, Bahadır.

Bahadır: Inshallah, Gündüz Bey. Of course, I do not know if my father will accept me into his tent. First, I need to beg for his forgiveness. Afterwards, I wish for all of us together to be strong and united!

Seclan : We shall be united, of course! When the Kayı tribe stands as one, does it not melt mountains of iron? Does it not bring the enemy to their knees? I am glad you came back. And I am even happier that you returned with such fine words! As for your father... once his temper cools down, it will surely pass.

Aygül: It will get better, and it will surely pass... My brother Batur is gone. But thank Allah, He did not leave us broken-winged or helpless.

Zöhre : Ah, my Batur... can your place ever be filled, my child? You speak truly, Aygul... Yet another child, another soul from our own flesh and blood... that pain could only be softened by him. Bahadır If you permit, let us rise son .

Bahadir : Of course, Zohre Hatun. Do we have your permission, Gündüz Bey?

Gündüz : You have permission. Take your rest. You are good now, and we will surely converse again.

Bahadır: Eyvallah (Thank you). But first, there are matters I must take care of. Seclan Yenge, you used to make such wonderful bulgur soup. I haven't forgotten it!

Seclan Hatun: If bulgur soup is what you desire, my son, I shall surely make it!

Bahadır: Eyvallah!

Gunduz : My uncle is still nowhere to be seen. Since Bahadır has just arrived, I didn't want to create unrest or ask questions... But my heart is not at peace at all.

Seclan : Zöhre thinks she isn't slipping up or showing any weakness. But a lie is a one-eyed devil! We will catch her from her blind side. Did Dündar go to Batur's grave or not? Were you able to handle that, my son?

Gunduz : I handled it, Mother. I sent an Alp. We will find out soon enough.

Bamsi : Let us find out, my child... Let us find out so we can crush them from above! We are sick and tired of fighting enemies within our own camp! Enough is enough!

In Kara Valley

Sungurtekin: "After overthrowing the Emperor, the puppet emperor you replace him with will use you, and then at the very first opportunity, they will get rid of you."

Enemy Commander / Guard: "Not the Emperor... the Empress! You don't even know this much! You are trying to ruin our relations with the Mongols.

Sungurtekin: Look at your situation-a woman, an Empress, is going to save you, is that so?"

Enemy Commander / Guard: "If you knew Sofia, you wouldn't speak to me like that."

Enemy Guard: "Die, Aristo!"

Sungurtekin: "Not Aristo! Sungur, son of Süleyman Shah!"

Böke: "Osman Bey's uncle, huh?

Sungurtekin :So Osman carved his name into your lungs too, did he?" You may kill me today, Böke! But our sprouting branches will suffocate you!"

Böke: "May evil spirits take your soul!"

(Osman Bey arrives, attacks the camp, and saves his uncle.)

Osman Bey: "Haydir Allah!"

(After the battle...)

Osman : "Are you alright? Hey... will you grant me your real name?"

Sungurtekin: "Sungur Tekin, son of Süleyman Shah..."

Osman : "...Uncle?"

(Jenerik playing in background)

Sungurtekin: "Osman..."

(They embrace emotionally.)

Osman : "Maşallah... For years, we thought you were killed alongside my uncle Gündoğdu during the Mongol Battle."

Sungurtekin : "If anything dies, brave one, it is the flesh... souls do not die like that."

In Kayi Tribe

Zohre : May Allah make your sword sharp, my son. I wanted us to have a word before it's time to break the fast.

Bahadir : Seeing me has spoiled your mood. Speak your mind now, Zöhre Hatun .

Zohre : what was done is done, and what lies in the past is gone. We quarreled a lot in the past, that is true. But now is not the time for fighting.

Bahadir : If we understand each other and build trust, we will both reap the benefits in our future. What you say is very pleasant, and indeed true. To be honest, I am glad you think this way. Now is the time for unity, Zöhre Hatun. My father is in a difficult position; he needs support. I am truly sorry for what happened to Batur. My condolences to you. After all, I am like a son to you as well. If you are sincere in what you say, I will be the first to rush to your side. However, first we need to get my father out of trouble. There are revenges to be taken and accounts to be settled.

Zohre : So you know everything that happened?

Bahadir : Of course I know. How could I not? I am already on their trail. Saltuk is in the caged tent. He can't be of any help to my father right now. Gündüz Bey is looking for a clue.

Zohre : Do you expect help from Saltuk?

Bahadir : Saltuk is solid and loyal. I don't think he will make any slip-ups or reveal anything. Now, if you'll excuse me, I would like to rest for a bit.

Zohre : Thank you, Bahadır. To be honest, I didn't remember you being so sensible and wise. You are welcome here. May Allah make your path clear and grant you success in your struggle.

Bahadir : Eyvallah (Thank you).

Aygül : It is good that my brother Bahadır came, Mother. He is a support for my father and adds strength to his power.

Zöhre : That is true. But that is not the only matter at hand. Let's see what happens when his mother arrives...

Aygül : Don't say that, Mother. We won't clash with her; we will just keep our distance and get along. Let's just overcome this difficult time safely first.

Zöhre : What good is keeping our distance? Just wait and see what Hazal Hatun will do when she arrives! What a fox she is... No one can deal with her cunning nature. When she gets here, we must guard ourselves at all times. Otherwise, that double-tongued woman will turn everything upside down.

At Mountain Monks

At Kara Valley

Sungurtekin : Look at what your Uncle Dündar has done while you have so many troubles on your head. Honestly, I should come with you to the camp and beat him until the donkey comes back from the water!

Osman : My Uncle Dündar's heart is pure. When he learns the truth, he will surely know where to stand

Sungurtekin : For years, I strived to obtain these names and documents. I tore myself away from my tribe, my loved ones, and everything I had.

Osman : Now they are in your hands; you succeeded, uncle . Thanks to you, we will follow a policy of balance with the Mongols.

Sungurtekin : If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have succeeded.

Osman : Eyvallah (Thank you/Gratitude). The White-Bearded Secret Council (Aksa-kallılar) wants you to deliver this document to the Emperor. While dealing with the Mongol plague, wouldn't they prefer us not to deal with Byzantium as well? If the Byzantine Emperor gets rid of the threat of the Margarit monks, we will also breathe easily.

Sungurtekin : The Byzantine threat has stood before us for centuries.

Osman : Byzantium must stand before us for a while longer, my uncle-until we get rid of the Mongol plague.

Sungurtekin : When I look into your eyes, I see your father. You are brave like him, intelligent like him.

Osman : Eyvallah. Whom will the White-Bearded Council place on the Byzantine throne as Emperor? They await the answer to this question.

Sungurtekin : They will not put an Emperor on the throne, but an Empress.

Osman : I am not surprised at all.

Sungurtekin : Do you know Sofia?

Osman : I know her to her core. Soon, I will rip her heart out.

In Another Forest

Helen : Did you think you could escape from my hands with your little mind?

Bala : Strange... Do you think that escaping with Bala Hatun or killing her ends everything? Do you think it ends with killing us? We will come with our warriors (Gazis), our saints (Evliyas), and our guild members (Ahyans), and we will make these lands the abode of Islam!

Helen : I've thought about it, and your living state isn't very important to me. (Soldier prepares to strike, but Bala Hatun recites the Shahada)

Bala : Eşhedü en la ilahe illallah ve eşhedü enne Muhammeden abdühu ve resulühü... (I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, and Muhammad is His servant and messenger...) (Boran Alp and the Gazis arrive in time, shouting "Allahu Akbar!" and driving away Sofia's soldiers)

Boran : Bala Hatun, you are wounded!

Bala : I am fine, Boran Alp, I am fine. Thank you.

Boran : You arrived just in time. However, Helen escaped. She can't go far. Let an Alp take you back to the tribe, and I will continue to track her down.

Bala : No! Princess Adelfa is already safe and she is Osman's trust (emanet). We will go together.

Boran : Eyvallah. Let's go, hurry!

At Mountain Monks

In Kara Valley

Sungurtekin : I must set off on the road to Constantinople without losing time. Do not tell anyone that I am alive. Just know that when my task is finished, I will return.

Osman : Do not worry at all, uncle. When you go to Constantinople disguised as a monk, send me news. I need to know what their intentions are and what schemes they are plotting behind our backs. I will need that intelligence until we get rid of the Sofia threat and conquer Kulucahisar Fortress.

Sungurtekin : You never stand still, just like your father, do you?

Osman : In these lands where we have taken root, our branches will spread to all four corners of the world, uncle. Standing still does not suit us, by God's will (evvel Allah).

Sungurtekin : Eyvallah. I will not leave you without intelligence, Osman. Do not worry.

Osman : Hey, Karayel! (Calls his horse) Hey traveler, where is your destination?

Sungurtekin : To the Red Apple (Kızılelma)!

Sungurtekin : May Allah be your helper and companion! (Allah yar ve yardımcımız olsun!)

Then Osman and Sungurtekin raises their horses then both in different ways on their horses .

In Forest Road

Dervish Pehlivan: The time approaches, my Sheikh. With your permission, let us rest for a moment.

Sheikh : So be it, my wrestler. Let us wait for the time of Iftar (breaking fast) right here. Come, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful).

(The dervishes sit down as evening approaches.)

Dervish: Eyvallah... Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Sheikh : Yes, Zülfikar Dervish, what do we have for Iftar?

Zülfikar Dervish: Praise be to the Giver of blessings! We have a little honey and some bread.

Sheikh : Praise be to Allah Çalab, who shows the crescent moon in the sky and what is lawful (halal) on the earth. Praise be that we have witnessed another Ramadan! Is this honey from Kayseri, my Zülfikar?

Zülfikar Dervish: Indeed, my Sheikh. Our companion Ahi Ilhan sent it.

Sheikh : May he be blessed! May his table and household be abundant in blessings.

Dervishes : Amin.

Sheikh : What a wise and full-of-wisdom blessing it is, is it not? For a single handful of honey, thousands of bees visit hundreds of thousands of flowers. One must not dismiss the bee as mere creature. In the Speech of Allah (Kelamullah), there is Surah An-Nahl. Nahl means the honeybee. An entire Surah was revealed named after the honeybee! And it was revealed at a time when the oppression of the polytheists (mushrikeen) had reached its peak... This was such an oppression that many believers ate tree leaves out of starvation. They softened pieces of leather they found over fire and sucked on them for days to suppress their hunger. The elderly and children died of starvation! The cries of weeping children and wailing women echoed through the streets of Mecca... It was right at that moment that this divine word descended... My companions, there is no fixed time for the lesson of Tawhid (Oneness of God). It comes in times of comfort as well as in times of hardship. In the school of Islam, the first lesson and the last lesson is Tawhid. The lesson here is this: The Owner of all blessings says, "Be like the bee." Work like the bee. Remain pure like the bee. Produce like the bee. Do not ever stand still! And the believers did not stand still. All the suffering endured turned, through the efforts of believers obeying this divine command, into labor pains. From the womb of Mecca stretching to Medina, a blessed civilization was born! Starting with our Master (Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him), Muslims who worked with the patience of a bee produced values as sweet as honey under the guidance of divine revelation. Yet, the polytheists could not appreciate its value. Instead of tasting this honey they created, their choice was to poke a stick into the beehives. Producing such values is not easy-it requires patience, effort, and love. There will always be ungrateful ones who do not know the value of honey. In short, my companions... our cure is hidden in our pain (dermanımız derdimizde gizlidir), just as honey is hidden within the flower.

On Forest Road

Osman : Riding his horse Karayel swiftly at full speed .

In Kayi Tribe

(Location: Near the Kayı Encampment / Otağ)

Saltuk: My Bey, save me!

Dundar : Saltuk

Saltuk : They will show me no mercy!

Dündar : What is the meaning of this, Gündüz Bey? Since when is a punishment meted out to an aide without the decree of a Bey?

Bamsi : When treason is involved, being an aide won't save anyone, Dündar Bey!

Gunduz : This snake has poisoned you as well... What a shame. Just when he was about to reveal the murderer of this villain Batur, he targeted the life of the tyrant instead! (Turning to Dündar) What is his true objective, Uncle? Tell us!

Dundar : Is it true, Saltuk?

Saltuk: Never, by no means, my Bey! It is a lie and a slander! They saw me with a bow in my hand while I went hunting, and so they accused me. My objective was never to take the tyrant's life.

Gündüz : The arrow in his hand may not have struck the tyrant, but the tyrant certainly entered the trajectory of his arrow! Saltuk was captured, but someone else finished the job. The person who targeted the tyrant's life fled, but their secret will surely come to light eventually! Now, what is the real truth behind this affair? You will be the one to tell us, Uncle... no one else!

In Forest

(Location: Forest path / Camp outskirts , At Osman's Secret Base )

Inside Osman Bey's secret base cave, Princess Adelfa sits near the fire while Gonca Hatun carefully looks after her. Footsteps echo through the cave. Bala Hatun enters with Aybars Bey and Boran Alp.

Gonca : Bala , you have come.

Bala : Yes, Gonca. I wanted to speak with Princess Adelfa myself.

Princess Adelfa: Bala Hatun... why have you brought me here? Why am I being kept hidden?

Bala : Princess Adelfa, forgive us for keeping you here without telling you everything. But we had no other choice.

Princess Adelfa: No other choice?

Bala : Your life was in danger. Dundar Bey and Zohre Hatun were searching everywhere for you, and Alisar Bey had his own plans concerning you.

Aybars : If they had found you, Princess, you would have been taken away before Osman Bey could protect you.

Boran : That is why Osman Bey ordered that you be brought to this secret place.

Princess Adelfa: So all of this... was to protect me?

Bala : Yes. We did this to protect you, your Dundar family, and to keep you away from Alisar Bey's schemes.

Gonca : I have been taking care of you here because we wanted you to be safe until the danger passed.

Princess Adelfa: I understand now. I thought perhaps I had been imprisoned.

Bala : Never, Princess. You are our guest and under our protection. No harm will come to you while we are here.

Aybars : And whoever comes looking for you will have to answer to us first.

Boran : Osman Bey will not allow Alisar Bey to use you for his own plans.

Princess Adelfa: Thank you, Bala Hatun. I was afraid... but now I know why you brought me here.

Bala : Be at peace, Princess Adelfa. Until this danger is over, this cave is your safest refuge.

Gonca : And I will continue to stay beside you.

Bala : Good. Then let us make sure Princess Adelfa remains safe until Osman Bey returns.

Boran : As you command, Bala Hatun.

Aybars : We will guard the entrance.

Bala looks at Princess Adelfa reassuringly as Aybars and Boran move toward the cave entrance to keep watch.

In Kayi Tribe

(Location: Dündar Bey's Otağ)

Dündar Bey: We are passing through difficult days. Everything that has happened has disturbed the balance of us all. I am the one who provides his food, and his leash is tied to my tent! Even if he committed a fault, leave it to me to mete out his punishment! Saltuk was raised by my hand. No treachery will ever come from him to us. Saltuk, come to my side. Get up!

Saltuk: May Allah be pleased with you, my Bey! May Allah be pleased with you!

Dündar : Gündüz Bey has no bad intentions. He is trying to find his brother's killer. Make sure you harbor no ill feelings toward him, and follow his orders strictly!

Saltuk: God forbid, my Bey, far from it!

Dündar : Very soon is the wedding of Alişar Bey and my Aygül. The Kayı tribe hasn't seen a celebration (toy) in a long time. As an uncle, I have done my duty and invited you. The rest is up to you.

Gündüz : Aygül is your daughter, but she is our sister as well. Of course, Uncle, of course!

(Bahadir approaches her father, Dündar Bey)

Bahadir : Father...

Dündar : Don't... Don't you dare! Do not even touch my shadow! Stay far away from me!

Bahadir : Father, I came to beg for your forgiveness...

Gündüz : You go and rest. We will find a way to soften our uncle's heart.

Bahadir : Will he forgive me, brother?

Gündüz : Which father can withstand his own child, huh? Just stay strong and steadfast.

( Bala Hatun , Aybars Bey , Boran Alp returns back to Kayi Tribe )

Bala : Gunduz bey and Bamsi bey princess adelfa is safe and sane

Bamsi : Thank God , well done my daughter .

Bala : smiles and says thanks

Gunduz : Takes relief of breath that Princess Adelfa is safe thanks to Bala and Aybars's planning .

Bala : Thank to God that we got know what they were planning in advance by Aybars and Bamsi bey

Gunduz : Yes you are right Bala hatun that we got to know in advance only otherwise a big calamity would have taken place in absence of Osman . . Now you all of go and do rest .

Bala : Leaves back for her tent

Aybars : Leaves for his tent also to meet his wife burcin .

Alp : Comes and tells Gunduz Bey and Bamsi Bey that " We looked at the grave , sir . The soil is dry .

Gunduz : So my uncle hasn't been to the cemetery .

Bamsi : Son....Dundar is behind this . Let's arrest him without any delay .

Gunduz : If we take it before the wedding ceremony ... .The tension will increase even more. We've embarked on a fiery path on both sides , Bamsi Bey . We've embarked on a fiery path on both sides

Other Side of Kayi Tribe

Bahadır: Your majestic presence shakes the tribe, Osman Bey. My husband used to say for a reason: "If he is not on a horse, a Turk is merely a load."

Osman : Welcome, Bahadır. What wind brought you here?

Bahadır: The wind of longing, Osman Bey. Even though my mother's side is Çobanoğulları, this is where I truly belong.

Osman : The mother's lap is temporary, but the father's hearth is fundamental. You are right. But has the ice between you and my uncle (Dündar Bey) melted yet?

Bahadır: No, he still pushes me away. However, even his hatred toward me could not stop me from ending this exile. If you do not accept me into your tent, I will pitch a simple tent and stay in this tribe. I have no intention of going anywhere else. It has come to my ears that Alişar holds you responsible for Batur's death

Osman : I am sure he cannot even see the truth that is right before his eyes.

Bahadır: As a man's hair turns gray, his mind grows clouded, Osman Bey. Do not mind my father's fault. When I first heard about it, I said: "Osman loved Batur like a brother and would protect him with his life." But people's mouths are not a cloth sack that you can tie up-they speak everything. My father gets influenced by it, and it harms him. I see... but I do not think like that. My trust in you is complete. Do not see me merely as blood and life; know that another shield against incoming arrows and another sword to swing at your enemies has arrived for you. I am your companion on this path-know it as such. We will have plenty of time to meet. Go in peace.

Dündar : Zöhre Hatun... I know you are worried because Bahadır has returned. You are right; when he was growing up, he gave us a hard time with his stubbornness, roughness, and harsh nature. But he has changed-he has changed a lot.

Zöhre :He will grow, mature, and settle down . But that does not ease my anxiety, my Bey.

Dundar : He betrayed you once. Are you saying that whoever betrays once will betray again, Hatun? If that were the case, then others who made mistakes would not be forgiven either. Should I have wiped out everyone who went behind my back? Do not distress your heart. Come now, Bahadır's arrival will add life to our life and strength to our power-you will see.

Dündar : You called for us, my Bey? There is a dowry in the tent. Carry it to the cart. My Aygül...

Aygul : My father Bey...

Dundar : My eyes have witnessed so much pain for so long. Finally, I am blessed to see my child's happiness and feel a bit of relief. Finally, the days when we add strength to our power and joy to our happiness are near. First this marriage, then when the time comes, the reckonings... and then, Allah willing, the leadership post (post). We will attain what is rightfully ours, step by step.

In Alisar Mansion

Melik: Alisar Bey, I bring bad news.

Alisar : What is it, Melik? Speak!

Melik: Princess Adelfa could not be found by Dundar Bey and Zohre Hatun. She is nowhere in the tribe.

Alisar : What?!

Melik: They searched everywhere, but there is no sign of her. It seems someone moved her to a safer place.

Alisar : Again! Again Osman has ruined my plan!

Melik: Alisar Bey, what shall we do now?

Alisar Bey: What shall we do? We must find out where Osman has hidden the princess!

Melik: But if Dundar Bey and Zohre Hatun failed-

Alisar : Enough! I will not let Osman defeat me again. Find out who helped him and where Princess Adelfa was taken.

Melik: As you command, Alisar Bey.

Alisar : Osman may have stopped this plan, but he has not stopped me

In Kayi Tribe

Osman : Bala Hatun ....raise your face, my moon-faced one. raise your beautiful face so I may look upon it.

Bala : I have protected Princess Adelfa well what you entrusted me , Osman .

Osman : I know that's why I gave this part to you,my Bala'm . And you were successful too in saving her from dundar and alisar co

Bala : smiles and now what is next mission Osman ?

Osman : Next is rescuing Aygul from Alisar's wedding thing Bala'm

Bala : Okay . May Allah be pleased with you Osman .

Osman : God willing, may His pleasure be granted to Bala and to us all, my Bala'm .

Gunduz : Osman ... What is the situation?

Osman : They cut off the tyrant's breath before he could speak, didn't they?

Bamsi : That traitors even refrain from betraying ? That's enough , Osman . That's enough . Their actions have been an attack on our lives .

Osman : Enough is enough, my Bamsı Bey! Enough of what they have done! It has pushed us to the limit! I called him my uncle, I called him my soul... Yet I did not seek his life. But we shall call him to account! We will go and demand an account! March on!

Demirci Bey : These are them , sir . Hopefully it will be for the best .

Dundar : Thanks . Thanks .

Sahin Bey : Osman is coming , sir .

Osman : Where are you going, uncle?

Dundar : What is it to you, Osman?

Osman : The game is over! Only your dead body leaves this place! Only I am left, isn't that right?

Dundar : The only one whose life and blood you haven't taken!

Osman : The games you played have caught up with your own feet, uncle. Now it is time to settle the score!

Dundar : Settle the score? How many more lives will leave this tribe, Osman? Bogac , Erkut , Batur... They are gone! How many more brave youths must die for you to calm down? Tell me, how many?! If you say, "Uncle, I will only calm down after taking your blood," then come, my nephew! Come! Your uncle's blood is halal for you! Come and strike that black sword into my side! Let this anger end at last! Let this madness end!

Aygul : Father!

Bahadir : Father, what are you doing?! Do not interfere!

Dündar : This reckoning is between the two of us!

Osman : My concern is not your blood or your life, uncle! My concern is the reputation and honor of the Kayı tribe!

Dündar : Osman! For the reputation of this tribe, I gave up my own reputation! My position as Bey was taken, yet I pledged allegiance to Gündüz! I stood behind him and said, "As long as our tribe remains safe and secure!" Is that a lie, Bamsı Bey? Speak, Gündüz! Is there the slightest falsehood in what I have said?!

Osman : Did I not tell you that no good comes from being an ally to Alişar?! Did I not warn you?! What did you do? You went and took refuge under him! And as if that were not enough, you gave Aygül to him!

At Alisar Mansion

Alişar : Commander Böke! What is this state you are in? Where are your men?

Commander Böke: Osman killed the Margaret monks! Osman destroyed everything! I told you, don't you understand?!

Alişar : How?! How did he know the location of the Margaret monks?

Commander Böke: Not just that-he knew everything! Everything! My arrival, why we met, everything!

Alişar : Ah Osman....Ah I will kill you Osman !

Commander Böke: You are too late, Alişar Bey! Too late! You are the Sanjak Bey, and he is a mere tribe Bey, yet you couldn't even stop him! When Geyhatu finds out what happened, he will make you pay the price!

In Kayi Tribe

Dündar : Was I supposed to ask you who I give my daughter to, Osman?!

Osman : Are you someone extraordinary? Whenever your temper flares, you trust the power behind you, raid the tribe, and spread all kinds of discord to drive us apart! How could you question giving a Kayı woman to someone like that?!

Dundar : Ah, Osman! Always doing things without knowing where or what to do! If you cared about Aygül so much, why did you refuse when I offered her to be your hatun?! I made you my assistant and said, "Take my daughter so we may grow stronger together." What did you do then, huh?! What did you do?!

Osman : I love Bala Hatun, that's why I said no to marrige with Aygul , uncle . but I love Aygul as my sister

Dündar : Gündüz! Do you hear what he says, my brother? You made baseless accusations that you could not prove, and now do you want to strike me through my daughter?! Do you think I forced my daughter into this? Look, her face is right there! Now that our private matter has been brought into the open, ask her to her face whether she wants this marriage or not!

Gündüz : Uncle... Are these matters to be discussed out in the open like this? Osman! We came here to demand an account, and look where you have dragged the matter!

Osman : Do not prolong this any further! I have said what I had to say... I will not let Aygül become Alişar's wife-know this for a fact!

Osman serious face is shown with thunders rolls and jenerik plays on
