During a hunt, they encounter the transport of three condemned prisoners by the Knights Templar. Ertuğrul and his friends kill the knights and save the lives of the three prisoners who were to be executed; a young girl named Halime (Esra Bilgiç), her father, and her brother Yigit. Without knowing the true identity of the rescued prisoners (that they belong to a noble family of the Seljuk Empire) Ertugrul and his friends bring them to the nomad group. Fear of being caught again leads Halime and her family to not reveal their true identity. The arrival of Halime and her family at the group brings new difficulties to the Kayi tribe.

The Seljuk Empire threatens war if the family doesn’t return, and the Knights Templar seek revenge for the rescue. These threats cause some nomads to blame Suleyman Shah for poor leadership in not avoiding these problems. The group’s unrest serves the ambition of Kurdoğlu, a sworn brother of Suleyman Shah. Kurdoğlu’s desire is to remove Suleyman Shah and take over his position as the leader of the Kayi tribe. Selcan Hatun (Gondogdu’s wife is negative about Halime and her family living in the tribe so she gossips to Gokce Hatun and Aykiz Hatun. Seeking to solve the unrest, Suleyman Shah sends Ertuğrul on a mission to find a new place for the nomad group to settle. He specifically sends Ertuğrul and his three friends to Aleppo to seek an agreement with the Sultan; an event that sets off the chain of events that ultimately lead to the founding of the Ottoman Empire.

Noyan’s sister, Alangoya, infiltrates the Kayi tribe and causes chaos, only to be killed by Hayme Ana. Noyan makes a move on Anatolia, and the Kayilar move to Sogut at the end of the season. The fifth season takes place 10 years after the Battle of Kose Dag, where the Mongols took over the Seljuk state. The arrival of the new tax collectors, the Umurogullari, disrupts the balance of Sogut. Umur Bey’s daughter, Ilbilge Hatun, infiltrates the Kayi tribe to gain information on Ertugrul, and falls in love with him. Meanwhile, Commander Dragos, a disgraced Byzantine warrior seeks to conquer Sogut.

He kills Umur Bey and frames Gunduz Alp, pitting two tribes against each other. Emir Bahattin’s presence serves to disrupt Ertugrul’s plans against the Mongols. Following Gunduz’s acquittal after the truth about Dragos is revealed, Beybolat Bey arrives. As the son of Umur Bey and Bey of the Umuroğlu after his father’s death he is a Seljuk assassin that works with the Mongols to wipe out rebelling Oğuz Tribes, under a fake name Albaşti. Ertugrul’s brothers are on the run from Albasti and hide in the mountains.

Beybolat seeks to marry Ilbilge with Bahattin, but his plans are ruined when Ertugrul asks her for marriage, and she accepts. Ertugrul raids the Mongols and steals the tax gold in order to start a huge war. This leads to Emir Bahattin’s death with Albasti and Dragos still at large. Ertugrul survives an assassination attempt when Zangoc (the real Dragos) saves him from the assassin’s arrows.

Ertugrul now suspects Zangoc of being Dragos and tasks Mergen to track him. Hulagu Han sends Commander Alincak and Subutay to raid the Kayi tribe. They capture the family, make Beybolat the uc bey, Artuk Bey the new bey of the Kayilar, and command Ertugrul to hand over the chest or else they take Osman’s life. Ertugrul refuses to hand over the chest, allies with Dragos and Lefke Castle, and tasks Ilbilge Hatun with spying for him in the tribe. Sirma Hatun becomes the head hatun of the Kayi, angering Selcan who fights and assaults her. Suleyman is imprisoned by Beybolat for speaking out against his beylik, but escapes with Ilbilge’s help. Ertugrul and his alps intercept a message from Hulagu Han and change it, saving Lefke Castle from being conquered. Ertugrul learns the location of his son by eavesdropping on a meeting between Uranos and Alincak, and saves him from becoming a Mongol slave. Then, Ertugrul trades the chest (the real contents of which he took, and replaced instead with falsified documents) for the right to his tribe back, and humiliates Alincak.

When he realizes Alincak is going after Sultan Izzettin Kaykavus, Ertugrul rescues him and pins the blame on Berke Han, the leader of the Golden Horde. He gives the location to Kaykavus to Alincak in exchange for Gundogdu’s pardon, which would allow him to restore his tribe. Subutai falls in the trap Ertugrul set and is killed, along with Yinal, Beybolat’s head alp. Ertugrul retakes Sogut and his beylik back and removes all the Umur alps and flags. Beybolat, angry at Ertugrul, kidnaps his nephew Suleyman and kills him under the guise of Albasti. Alincak captures Mergen, who he realizes is a spy, and tortures him until Ertugrul rescues him.
During the fight between Ertugrul and his alps and Alincak and Albasti, Bamsi comes late, which results in Alincak escaping and Gunduz getting injured. Bamsi’s head alp title is taken away and given to Abdurrahman. Beybolat tasks Sirma with stirring conflict between Hafsa and Selcan, which works. Ertugrul plots with Uranos to get rid of Alincak and successfully traps him. However, Dragos makes a deal with Beybolat to get rid of Ertugrul. Ertugrul tortures Alincak to tell him who Albasti is. Meanwhile, Hafsa and her kids are attacked by Albasti’s men, who kidnap Aybars. Ertugrul sets a trap for Zangoc, knowing he is conspiring with Lefke Castle, but it is unknown that the bellringer is the real Dragos.

Bamsi goes after Aybars but is trapped by Albasti’s men. Beybolat shows up and kills the fake Albasti, thinking he fooled Ertugrul. Bamsi disobeys orders and kidnaps Alincak to give to Dragos, who has Aybars. Ertugrul saves Bamsi from Dragos’s trap, kills Alincak, and captures Dragos. After suspecting Beybolat, he puts a plan in motion to prove he is Albasti. Beybolat makes a deal with Dragos that will help him escape Ertugrul. On the day of Dragos’s execution, Beybolat betrays Dragos and helps Ertugrul and his alps kill Dragos’s men who infiltrated Sogut.

Ertugrul kils Dragos. Bamsi, who was repenting in the Sogut mosque, is injured severely during the fight, but survives and is forgiven by Ertugrul.

Beybolat reveals himself to be Albasti, shocking Ilbilge and infuriating Ertugrul. Ertugrul engages in battle with Beybolat and Gundogdu makes an appearance, injuring Beybolat. Beybolat, to escape, jumps off a cliff into a river below and floats downstream unconscious. He is rescued by Arikbuka, a commander of Hulagu Han, feared spy, and blood brother of Alincak.

Ertugrul makes Ilbilge the Bey of the Umurogullari and tells her that he will fulfill his promises. Ertugrul and Gundogdu make plans to negotiate with Berke Han to start a war with the Mongols. Mergen is tailed by Arikbuka when meeting with Berke Han’s men and unknowingly leads them to Ertugrul’s meeting place. A battle ensues between the Mongols and Beybolat on one end and Ertugrul and his alps on the other. Bamsi finds traces of arrows used to rescue Beybolat and brings them to Gundogdu, who identifies them as Arikbuka’s and sets off to rescue Ertugrul. Dumrul and Mergen are killed in the battle, with Turgut severely injured by Beybolat and near dead, and Ertugrul severely injured and captured.

Gundogdu reaches the battlefield and realizes that Turgut is injured severely. Melikshah takes Turgut to the tribe, while Abdurrahman tells Ilbilge Hatun that Ertugrul was captured. Gundogdu, Bamsi, Gunduz, and Gunkut set off to look for Ertugrul. Arikbuka and Albasti question Ertugrul, who reveals that Albasti tried to kill Alincak. Enraged, Arikbuka nearly draws his sword against Beybolat, but stops himself, to Ertugrul’s displeasure. Arikbuka is informed that Gundogdu is searching for them and plans a trap. Sirma meets with Umurogullari beys to try and usurp the beylik from Ilbilge and reinstating Beybolat. Albasti is ambushed by Ilbilge and Abdurrahman while taking Ertugrul to Arikbuka’s secret cave.

Ertugrul kills Beybolat and tells Ilbilge to take the corpse to her tribe. Gundogdu falls into Arikbuka’s trap and is poisoned with gas. Ertugrul saves him and Arikbuka goes on the run. Ilbilge brings back the corpse of Beybolat and clamps down on her tribe, enraging Sirma. Ertugrul and his alps come back to the Kayi camp and Ertugrul reunites with a now healed Turgut. Artuk Bey bring word from the white beards, who meet with Ertugrul and tell him about an important shipment going towards Anatolia. They also reveal that there is a Mongol spy near Berke Han. Sirma plots with Taskun Bey to take the Beylik when Ilbilge opens the position. Ilbilge nominates Battal Bey, who loses to Taskun Bey who paid off the other Beys. Taskun Bey then proposes to Sirma Hatun while Ilbilge connects the dots.

Bamsi, Gunkut, and Gunduz infiltrate the caravansary and learn about the Mongol spy. Gundogdu and Turgut go to take the gold on behalf of Ertugrul, but are trapped by Arikbuka’s men. They fend them off but the gold is missing. Ertugrul encounters Arikbuka and is led to a trap while trying to question him about the spy. Bamsi, Gunkut, and Gunduz rescue Ertugrul from Arikbuka’s trap, who escapes. Gundogdu and Turgut find the gold and secure it. Ertugrul chases after Arikbuka but is misled by a look alike. Ilbilge is removed from her position by Taskun Bey and Sirma, and suspects something is wrong. Gundogdu and Turgut return to the tribe to hear the news of the Umurogullari elections, and decide to meet with Taskun Bey. Ilbilge follows Sirma and sees her meeting with a Mongol spy at Beybolat’s grave. Taskun Bey angers Gundogdu and Turgut when he says that he will continue to collect taxes for the state. Ertugrul ventures to meet Berke Han with his alps to bring news of the situation in Anatolia and to tell him of a spy. Berke Han is misled by the spy, who is his closest advisor.

Gundogdu and Selcan leave the tribe when news from Sungurtekin arrives saying that Dundar is taking care of an injured Iltekin and they are needed in their camp. Gundogdu says Dundar will come back to Ertugrul’s camp. Turgut and Ilbilge lay an ambush for the Mongol spy and capture him. Ertugrul meets with Berke Han and nearly fails before telling him of the spy. The two create a plan to isolate the vizier who is the traitor. Turgut and Ilbilge arrive back at the camp with the spy, and question him, and he reveals that Sirma and Taskun Bey are traitors. Turgut kills Taskun Bey and Sirma is left imprisoned in her tent.

Ertugrul and his alps fall into Arikbuka’s trap but are saved by Berke Han who reveals that they tricked the spy. A fight ensues and Arikbuka walks away again. Sirma Hatun confronts Ilbilge and poisons her, but is killed by a dying Ilbilge. Ilbilge is taken to the Kayi tribe where Artuk Bey revives her. The spy and Arikbuka create a trap but are foiled and killed by Berke Han and Ertugrul. Ertugrul marries Ilbilge and the show ends with the alps with Ertugrul leading riding their horses into war while Osman picks up Suleyman Shah’s sword and says he will carry the resurrection and the Kayi flag all over the world.
