"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalised based on history." "Valide Sultan said she would exile every Kalfa if something bad happens in the harem." "So, Nigar Kalfa keep an eye on the concubines." "Valide Sultan will storm around when His Majesty leaves for the campaign." "I see." "We should be careful." "But I don't know how we're going to hold Hürrem back." "Look at her." "She walks around like she's Haseki Sultan." "Look how she is calling for me." "Watch me put her in her place." "What is it now, Hürrem Hatun?" "You were going to give me private lessons, Süklüm Agha." "I will study the palace." "Mind your words." "It's not Süklüm." "Sümbül Agha." "Learn to speak properly." "You've upset me, Sümbül Agha." "I would want Sultan Süleyman to see that Hürrem has learned everything from Sümbül when he comes back from the war." "Well...." "Come this afternoon, we will study." "We'll see." "Don't wander around." "Don't mess with anybody." "Go." "Lala Kasım Paşa is coming, my sultan." "You may leave." "I am going to talk to him alone." "Valide Sultan." "It is an honour to be in your presence." "Welcome, Lala." "Congratulations for the viziership." "My lion made the right decision inviting you to the court." "I know how much you worked for him." "I am sure you will do well in the office." "There is a matter I'd like to discuss with you." "Of course, Valide Sultan." "How can I help?" "There is a concubine in the harem who I am also interested in." "She's originally from Ruthenia." "Her name is Hürrem." "She became a Muslim." "She's a beautiful, well-behaving concubine." "She is also very skilful." "If she has been through your training I am sure she is educated perfectly." "I have an offer regarding her, and I am sure you will be interested." "Sofia 17 June 1521" "Your Majesty." "My advice has three steps." "First we capture Böğürdelen Castle." "Then we take Sirem Region." "And then we march to Buda." "Böğürdelen is not an important castle." "We shouldn't divide our forces." "We should besiege Belgrade first." "If we manage to take the castle, we'll have struck at the heart of Louis when he will be expecting us at Buda." "Your Majesty we all know how strong Belgrade castle is." "It's been impenetrable to this day." "If we march to Belgrade, a defeat would devastate the morale." "If we start with Böğürdelen, we will have the higher ground." "What do you say, Pargalı?" "Your Majesty, it's not for me to say, but Ahmet Paşa's plan is better." "He came up with a good war game." "You spoke well, concierge." "This is the war game." "You can't calculate real war like that." "Our first target is Böğürdelen." "We will wait for the fleet to arrive at Danube to attack Belgrade." "Your Majesty, Ottomans has reached Sofia." "They are coming with thousands of soldiers." "Let them come." "Come on, keep playing." "Don't wait." "You wait, you die." "Come on." "I see." "I will do whatever Valide Sultan says." "If she likes me, I won't die." "And I will give birth to a prince." "Yes." "I want to write a letter, Sümbül Agha." "To the sultan." "I want to express my love." "I can't write well." "I will say, you'll write." "I am not your scrivener." "Have Nigar Kalfa do it." "Enough, Hürrem Hatun." "I have things to do." "Don't go, Sümbül Agha." "I have so many things to ask." "No, it's enough." "Hürrem has been taking lessons all day." "She's busy studying." "She has been quite silent, my Valide." "My sultan." "Lala Paşa's son Batur Bey came to see you." "Let him come." "Daye, do what I told you." "Welcome, Batur Bey Has Lala Paşa told you about the matter?" "Yes, Valide Sultan." ""My Great Sultan my sanctuary of happiness." "Your servant Hürrem missed you so much, she hugs the dirt beneath your feet." "You are the sultan of my felicity." "Being away from you burns my heart."" ""Rips my lungs apart." "I can't breathe, my sultan."" "Ayşe, get out." "Don't come in if I don't call for you." "I was just going to take" "Don't." "Just get out." "Close the door." "Stupid Ayşe." "And add this." ""My insides are burned my heart is devastated."" "Yes." "Write, Nigar Kalfa." "How are you going to send this to His Majesty?" "You just write." "I'll find a way." "Hurry up." "Is the syrup done?" "Son...." "Şeker Agha, what is going on?" "Everyone seems so busy." "Who are these for?" "Daye Hatun came here, and said there will be a feast tonight." "What feast?" "I don't know about this." "Come on, hurry up." "Valide Sultan is hosting a feast tonight." "She expects you to be there." "Who is this feast for?" "Gülşah, bring my best kaftans." "I have to be beautiful for tonight." "Please, read the letter again." "Enough." "It came out beautifully, okay?" ""My tears are dropping." "They won't stop." "Being away from you is worse than death."" "Yes." "Add this too." "Ayşe, I told you to leave." "This chamber is forbidden to you." "Hürrem Hatun." "Behave yourself." "Yes, Daye Hatun." "Valide Sultan summons you to the private garden." "Valide Sultan?" "She likes me now?" "Yes." "She adores you." "She is a big fan." "Nigar Kalfa, help her." "Valide loves me." "Süleyman loves me." "Your narrow fleet is here, İbrahim." "We will see what it is capable of." "The fleet is not the one capable, Your Majesty." "But the commander of this glorious army, Sultan Süleyman, is so." "I believe in your victory." "Soon you will be greater than Great Alexander, Your Majesty." "Let's go, İbrahim." "Let's go with patience." "Patience is the key to victory." "It's nice out here." "Look at these roses." "Hürrem Hatun pick some of these roses for me." "My Valide, my sultan they are as beautiful as you." "I will pick some." "I am bleeding." "It must be the evil eye." "Poor woman." "I hope it didn't hurt Hürrem Hatun." "She is fine." "Don't worry." "She is just playing." "It's getting dark." "Let's head back." "Nigar Kalfa, Hürrem Hatun should be at my place for the feist." "Yes, my sultan." "My sultan." "Gülfem." "I didn't hear you coming." "I was just lost in my thoughts." "I am writing a letter." "For İbrahim?" "No, it's for the Zembilli Hodja." "Of course it's for İbrahim." "But how will he receive this unopened?" "My sultan." "Valide Sultan is waiting." "She was asking for you." "My sultan." "Your eyes are here, at the shores of Danube." "It brightens the water, the night, and my soul." "Couldn't sleep, Pargalı?" "Your Majesty." "What are you hiding from me?" "I wouldn't dare." "A poem." "I was trying to write a poem." "It was so bad compared to yours I didn't want you to read it." "Live a long life, Pargalı." "You made me laugh." "You made me laugh, just like Hürrem." "Daye?" "What did Batur Bey say?" "Did he like her?" "That would be an understatement." "He loved her." "Hürrem Hatun, come with me." "What is it?" "Did I do something?" "Am I going to be punished?" "Don't worry, just come with me." "Daye Hatun, where are we going?" "I am scared." "Am I going to be locked up again?" "Am I a prisoner?" "Your days of slavery are over, Ruthenian." "You are free." "You are going to be a bride in Edirne Palace." "Is Sultan Süleyman waiting for me in Edirne?" "Valide Sultan is wedding you with Vizier Lala Kasim Paşa's son." "I am going to be Sultan Süleyman's bride." "I am his wife." "Are you deaf?" "Listen to what I'm saying." "You are going to marry Vizier Lala Kasim Paşa's son." "And you will go to Edirne." "Get this in your little head." "You will leave this palace tomorrow." "No." "No way." "I won't." "I won't leave the palace." "Sultan Süleyman" "Enough." "Don't speak of Sultan Süleyman again." "Valide Sultan has made her decision." "It is an order." "Allah bless Valide Sultan." "She got rid of that Ruthenian slave." "My sultan." "I hope nothing goes wrong." "Don't talk like that." "I would like to see that slave's face." "She's leaving." "I hope she goes through hell wherever she goes." "Inshallah ." "Are you enjoying yourself, Mahidevran?" "It is a wonderful night, thanks to you." "From now on we will have even better days and nights." "Isn't that right, Hatice?" "Only joy I want is that His Majesty returns home safe and sound." "Go to your chamber." "Crying won't change anything." "Tomorrow is a new day." "I am going to talk to Valide Sultan." "I will ask her to forgive me." "Go to your chamber." "Come here, Hürrem." "Congratulations, bride." "I am not going to be a bride." "This palace is mine." "I won't leave." "I am the sultan's woman." "His favourite woman." "You can't touch me." "You will be dead." "Daye Hatun, take this disrespectful slave away from me." "I am not a slave." "I am Hürrem." "Sultan Hürrem." "Ahmet Paşa." "Take your reinforcements from Smederevo and march to Böğürdelen Castle." "Bosnian Governor Bali Bey will hold the Croatians down." "Mehmet Bey, son of Mihal, shall attack Transylvania." "The first one is Böğürdelen, Ahmet Paşa." "That is where we break this lock." "Your Majesty, we should march to Buda without stopping." "Grand Vizier Piri Mehmet Paşa's army that was preparing to besiege Belgrade should also join us." "We must not divide our forces." "To lift the siege" "Okay, Ahmet Paşa." "When will the whole Navy be here, Pulak Mustafa Paşa?" "Soon, Your Majesty." "In five days." "Also, Ahmet Paşa has a point." "Belgrade has a strong position over Sava and Danube rivers." "The castle is at the bottom, and the city is at the top." "To capture that city" "What do you say, İbrahim?" "Your Majesty, with all due respect don't you think making Piri Paşa's forces retreat and lifting the siege will make our enemies think that we got scared and fell back?" "Janissaries and Akinjis will also lose faith." "Well, then." "We will have to discuss this further." "İbrahim, bring the governors and the lords here." "We should discuss with the natives who know the place." "Did you see what she did?" "I should have just beat her." ""I won't leave," she says." ""I am the Sultan's woman," she says." "Who are you to be a Haseki, you Russian slave?" "My Sultan, I think she's really scared." "That's why she talked so disrespectfully." "She is going to leave." "Crying won't change that." "I won't leave!" "I would rather die than leave this place!" "I won't leave!" "Hürrem." "Don't scream, they will hear you." "I won't leave!" "What did I do?" "Why are you angry with me?" "You are also a traitor." "You took their side." "You knew I was going to leave." "Shut up!" "I won't leave." "I won't go with the devil!" "My dead body can go to Edirne." "I am dead!" "I am dead!" "You fell behind, İbrahim." "Pull yourself together." "Your Majesty." "Our goal was Belgrade at the beginning." "Are we going to lift the siege?" "Do you remember the time when we were lost hunting deer in Serdes Mountain?" "We kept walking in a circle until the evening." "Then we bumped into a woodsman." "He showed us the shortcut when we thought we were lost." "We only need someone who knows the way." "Then it'll be easy to find the way." "I see, Your Majesty." "I am sorry, I was being impatient." "Let's head back, then." "We shouldn't keep the War Council waiting." "Good morning, my sultan." "Did you eat anything?" "No, I don't want anything." "Tell them to take these away." "I couldn't sleep all night." "Were you upset about the things Hürrem did last night?" "No." "What did she do this time?" "Tell me, Daye." "She kept shouting that she doesn't want to go." "That impudent girl." "Tell her to come here." "Disrespectful." "Ayşe Hatun, where is Hürrem?" "She's talking with Sümbül Agha upstairs." "She was loud last night." "Probably getting a scolding." "What happened?" "She was shouting that she won't leave here." "She said she was dead." "She cried until the morning." "Süklüm Agha, I am begging you." "Please, save me." "Have some mercy." "Don't do this, Hürrem Hatun." "I can't do anything about it." "I can't go against Valide Sultan." "I would lose my head." "I gave you so much gold." "Shame on you." "Get me out of here." "Help me hide." "Don't you understand?" "It's over." "You are leaving." "Sümbül Agha." "Hold on, Nigar Kalfa." "I'm coming." "Valide Sultan wants to see Hürrem." "She has to come down here." "We are going." "Don't talk like this in Valide Sultan's presence." "Accept everything she says." "Or you will lose that beautiful head." "Move now." "Move." "Come on." "Your Majesty." "Governor of Bosnia Bali Bey and Governor of Smederevo are here for the council." "Good." "Send them in." "Who do you think you are to oppose my decisions?" "You think that's your place?" "Are they teaching you to act this way?" "You will do everything I say." "Understood?" "I am innocent, my sultan." "Shut up." "Don't speak." "You committed a huge crime." "You have been extremely disrespectful." "I should've taken your head, but I am making you a bride." "I won't be a bride." "He is a stranger to me." "I am a Muslim woman now." "Show mercy to this Muslim." "Shut up." "Don't try to use our sacred religion." "Daye, take this away from me." "I don't want to see her." "Send her away before the evening." "My sultan, I cannot leave." "I won't give in." "I am pregnant." "Your Majesty, Belgrade is where Danube and Sava Rivers meet." "We will have struck them at the heart when we capture this city." "Belgrade is the key to Hungary." "Louis is still entertaining himself at Buda Palace." "Capturing Belgrade means you will take revenge for your ancestors." "Piri Paşa is already there to besiege the castle." "What do you think, Husreve Bey?" "Bali Bey is right, Your Majesty." "All of your servants in Smederevo are ready to give their life." "But we will need a bridge." "We can reach the walls of the castle easily with a bridge." "Then they won't be able to resist." "We can shoot the new cannons from Danube." "Also, I heard something on my way here." "There is a wedding at Zemun Castle tonight." "The commander is getting married." "They will eat and drink." "They will be drunk." "Shall we attack Zemun Castle tonight?" "Good." "This is good news, Husreve Bey." "Gather your men." "Buda can wait." "Our first target, Belgrade." "Start building the bridge tomorrow." "Your Majesty, will you honour us with your presence at Zemun Castle?" "We can turn that wedding into our victory celebration." "If you are lying to avoid getting married do you know what I can do to you?" "Yes, my sultan." "No lies." "I am pregnant." "A boy for Sultan Süleyman." "Shut up." "Lock her in the chamber, Daye." "Does anybody know about this?" "No." "I didn't tell anyone." "Why not?" "How could you keep this to yourself?" "They said it was dangerous." "Don't tell before it grows a bit." "Or I could've got in trouble." "My child and I would die." "We will see what will happen to you." "Take her away." "Can she be telling the truth?" "I would expect anything from her, my sultan." "What if it is true?" "What am I going to say to Lala Paşa?" "His son is waiting to take her and go." "This is disgraceful." "Your Majesty Ahmet Paşa captured Böğürdelen Castle." "Our flag rises above the bastion." "May Allah bless those brave warriors." "May our victory be blessed." "Smile a little, Andre." "Don't think about Sultan Süleyman." "He's far away from here." "We'll be at Zemun Castle tonight." "Count Ariel is getting married." "There will be a wedding." "We will have some fun, Andre." "Hürrem." "Hürrem." "I am not allowed to leave the room." "What did Valide Sultan do?" "She said, "Don't speak." "Shut up." "You are going to be a bride."" "I said, no." "I told her I was pregnant." "I am not." "I lied to her." "They will kill you when they find out." "I will run away." "Help me hide." "No." "Don't." "I have to, Maria." "I will run away." "Kalfa is coming." "Close the door." "When is Hürrem Hatun leaving?" "Is the wedding going to be here?" "There is no wedding." "She will take her bag and go to Edirne." "They can have the wedding there." "Don't worry, you won't work for it." "Valide Sultan won't send her like that." "After all, His Majesty was very fond of her." "What if he asks where she is..." "...when he comes back?" "He won't." "He probably told his mother to do it." "They couldn't find you anywhere, Sümbül Agha." "I told them I would find you in a second." "I figured you would be here eating again." "I know you very well." "We were checking the balances, Daye Hatun." "I didn't ask you, Şeker Agha." "Don't you have work to do?" "Go back to your work." "Yes, I...." "I was going to the store anyway." "I am going." "What happened, Daye Hatun?" "You wouldn't search for me." "Hürrem Hatun said she is pregnant." "She is just like a cat." "When you think she's dead she gets lucky again." "No way." "Valide Sultan doesn't believe her." "It must be a lie." "Try to get her to talk." "I know that you two are close."
