"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalised based on history." "I looked in on you but you weren't there." "What are you doing here?" "I am going to get some water." "Leave the water and come with me." "Allah...don't ask questions." "I said come with me." "Come on!" "You silly girl!" "Come on!" "I just received the news, my Sultan." "You are going to marry İbrahim Paşa." "I am so happy for you." "I have spoken with His Majesty countless times on your behalf." "I wanted you to be happy." "Thank you." "Did you hear what happened to me?" "They called me a murderer." "I am innocent." "You know I am." "Sultan Hatice." "Help me." "Save me." "But everyone says..." "Everyone is my enemy." "Everyone hates me." "Don't be sad." "If you are innocent, it will be proven eventually." "I will do everything I can." "Don't worry." "May Allah protect you." "Thank you, my Sultan." "Come in." "Lady Sadıka, my Paşa." "Leave us alone, Sümbül." "The late Ayşe Hatun didn't like you at all." "Is it true that she complained about you to the Kalfas?" "Tell me!" "It is true." "She always lied about me." "She was always angry and jealous." "She was angry that you put me in the harem and that I would one day become your favourite." "Have a good journey." "I hear that you are off to the old palace." "I am going." "But I shall return." "You will waste away your youth there." "You will go and never return." "His Majesty and this palace will not be yours." "When you leave tomorrow, turn and look around one last time." "See who cries to see you leave." "See who rejoices." "No one likes you." "Everyone is happy that you are going." "Our home will be at peace again." "That's enough!" "I told everyone!" "Sultan Hürrem came to my room tonight." "I told her too." "I am innocent." "Hürrem came to see you?" "Did she come alone?" "Yes, alone." "I was afraid." "Go to your chamber." "Gülşah." "Was Mahidevran involved in Ayşe Hatun's death?" "No." "I swear she wasn't." "Gülşah." "You aren't lying to me, are you?" "Or I will rip your pretty little head off." "You know I will." "I know." "My Sultan is innocent." "Look me in the eyes." "Get out." "Tell Sümbül to come." "My Paşa." "Are there any other suspects?" "No more suspects." "Apparently Hürrem cornered Viktoria tonight." "She went to her room." "Do you know of this?" "She cornered Sadıka?" "If she were guilty why would she go to her?" "She begged me too." "She swore on her children." "It broke my heart." "She may be innocent." "Whatever happens whatever you may hear regarding this matter you will come to me first, Sümbül Agha." "Do you understand?" "I understand, my Paşa." "I understand." "Did Hürrem come to you?" "Yes, she did." "She asked for help." "She begged me to save her." "I feel sorry for her." "I will do whatever I can." "Don't, my Sultan!" "Don't fall for her tears!" "She is a snake!" "Are you telling me what to do, Mahidevran?" "That woman you are calling a snake is the mother of a prince." "Just like you." "As far as I am concerned, you are the same." "Be careful what you say." "Forgive me, my Sultan." "Please accept my apologies." "Alex." "Alex, wake up." "Alex." "Leo?" "Leo?" "You...." "How can you be here?" "I was so worried about you." "I'm glad that you came, Leo." "I will help you." "Don't cry." "They called me a murderer." "I am innocent." "I know, Alex." "You are my angel." "Don't cry." "Trust me, Alex." "I will save you." "Wait for me." "You broke off Hatice's engagement." "Yes, Mother." "Wasn't that what you wanted?" "Didn't you want to break it off first?" "That's not the problem." "Is Pargalı the problem?" "Don't you want him as the groom?" "Does my opinion on my daughter's happiness count for nothing?" "Why do you not respect my opinion?" "I had not imagined İbrahim Paşa as the groom." "You need not be concerned, Mother." "You will see, Hatice will be extremely happy with this marriage." "My decision is a good one." "Be at ease." "Hürrem Hatun." "It is time to go." "Are you ready?" "We are here to help you pack." "Gülnihal will help too." "Gülnihal." "How go the preparations?" "I imagine a wedding the likes of which has never been seen before." "Begin preparations immediately." "Make it a wedding that will be spoken of for years." "You know best, my son." "On your head be it." "Hope for the best." "Is Hürrem leaving today?" "Yes, I have had a chamber prepared at the old palace." "She will want for nothing." "Hurry up!" "Don't waste time." "The precious ones...." "You should pack the jewelry, Hürrem Hatun." "So they don't get lost." "Let them get lost." "What does it matter?" "You can have my jewelry if you like." "Praise be to Allah." "Kindness doesn't get through to you, does it?" "The greatest kindness to me...." "Bring me my children." "They will be here soon." "Good." "I miss my children so much." "One of the concubines, Esma Hatun will be coming with you." "Don't worry." "You will want for nothing." "Thank you." "May Allah bless you." "I have spoken to my lion." "He asked me to begin the wedding preparations." "I won't lie, my heart is not at ease." "I still have doubts." "Inshallah I will be proven wrong, my Hatice." "Mother." "I prayed for my heart to stop before you." "Now it is my greatest fear." "I am so happy...." "Inshallah it is so." "I hope it turns out well." "Mother." "Hürrem." "She came to me last night." "She is very upset." "She begged me and said she is innocent." "Are we being too hasty by sending her to the old palace?" "Hatice." "The matter is closed." "Let's not speak of it." "It will spoil our moods." "Beyhan!" "Sister." "My girl!" "How I have missed you." "I have missed you a lot too." "Hatice." "I'm so glad that you are here." "Assalamu alaikum , Ahmet Paşa." "Alaikum assalam , Ferhat Paşa." "You are not usually here so early." "My wife, Sultan Beyhan has come to visit the Valide Sultan." "Is she going to ask the Valide Sultan for mercy?" "I haven't seen you for months." "How are my grandchildren?" "They are better, Mother." "They have had measles for some time now." "I have been looking after them." "I couldn't leave them." "And now I couldn't bring them." "I won't be staying long anyway." "I must return to the farm." "I won't let you go, sister." "I have so much to tell you." "Hatice, I couldn't even make it to your engagement." "When is the wedding going to be?" "The engagement has been cancelled." "What?" "You can speak of this later." "Leave us alone." "My Prince." "Mihrimah, my beautiful girl." "I missed you so much." "I missed your smell." "But now our separation is over." "We will go together." "I will always be with you." "Didn't you tell her?" "What didn't they tell me?" "Sümbül Agha." "Prince Mehmet is to remain here in the palace." "Ferhat Paşa is innocent, Mother." "They slander him." "The worst part is that His Majesty believes these lies." "They say that he will ask for Ferhat Paşa's head at the Council." "Do not be concerned." "How can that be?" "I haven't heard of this." "That's what they are saying, Mother." "I need your help." "Please help me." "I haven't slept for days." "I couldn't take it if something happened to my family." "Don't cry." "I will definitely look in to it." "Do not worry." "Thank you." "You cannot have my son." "I won't allow it." "The Prince will come with me." "No one is asking you for permission." "This is the rule." "The Prince remains with the royal family." "You can only take Sultan Mihrimah with you." "No." "It can't be." "Sümbül." "Take the Prince away now." "You can't have him." "Let go!" "For Allah's sake, Hürrem Hatun!" "My son!" "Let go of him." "I beg you, let go of him." "Don't take my son from me." "Hürrem Hatun, don't do this." "Step aside." "Don't make it harder." "I'll die before I step aside." "Give me my son." "Nigar Kalfa, Gülnihal." "Why are you just watching?" "Hürrem Hatun...." "Hürrem, come on." "Come, Hürrem." "Hürrem Hatun." "For Allah' sake." "Mehmet!" "My Mehmet!" "Leave him!" "He is still so young!" "It won't work, Hürrem Hatun." "He is a prince." "They won't let you have him." "Your Majesty...." "Don't ask me anything, Pargalı." "Have them prepare my horse." "I wish to go." "I...." "I want to be alone, Pargalı." "His Majesty is not here." "Has he gone?" "Has His Majesty left me and gone?" "Has İbrahim Paşa left too?" "Hürrem Hatun." "Allow me to speak with His Majesty." "He left not long ago." "He isn't here." "What is it?" "They took my son away." "They separated us." "Sümbül has told you." "You were to find the real killer." "It will come to light if that is true." "It won't." "They won't let it." "Help me." "For the love of Allah, don't do this to me." "I am sorry." "You are taking revenge." "Forgive me." "Don't blame anyone, Hürrem Hatun." "You brought this on yourself." "Take her away." "Yes, Bayım?" "I want to buy some fabric." "Silk fabric." "I have the best silks, sir!" "Don't look!" "Just buy!" "I have the best Ottoman colours." "Rose delight...." "Sesame candy...." "I have whatever you want!" "All right." "I want to ask you something." "What is it?" "Are there women here?" "Take that back, Bayım!" "This is the bazaar." "You won't find that here." "I think you have come to the wrong place." "All right, enough." "Are you a merchant?" "Yes, I am a merchant." "I am from Crimea." "What a surprise." "You don't look like a merchant." "A poor merchant." "What are you after?" "Silk, copper." "You won't find women here." "Don't ask or you will get a beating." "Then...." "I am looking for a woman." "Not for that." "For my home." "You are going to stay here, then?" "Yes." "Good." "Stay." "Good luck to you all." "Thank you." "Who was he?" "Matrakçı Nasuh Effendi." "Hürrem Hatun." "Don't be sad, inshallah ." "The truth will be revealed soon." "And you will be united with your child." "I am entrusting Prince Mehmet to you." "Look after him." "Tell him that his mother would give her life for him." "I promise you." "I will look after Mehmet until you return." "İbrahim." "You little flame!" "My prince." "I missed you so much." "Don't go anywhere without me, İbrahim." "All right." "I was so happy to hear that you are to marry Sultan Hatice." "We are finally rid of Hürrem." "Yes, it seems so." "Sultan Hatice believes that she didn't do it." "I was afraid that she would prevent her leaving." "I don't believe it either, my Sultan." "However it is better that she leave." "Let's go to my father, İbrahim." "His Majesty is out." "He will be back this evening." "Hürrem." "Gülnihal." "Are you coming too?" "I won't leave you, Hürrem." "We share the same fate." "Here you go." "What's that, merchant?" "Is it a balance book." "No." "I'm just drawing." "Is that so?" "Let me have a look." "Give it here." "Is it that you are bad painter?" "You are quite skillful." "Mihrimah." "My beautiful girl." "Your fate won't be like your mothers." "I promise you." "I promise." "My lion, I'm sorry to disturb you in the evening." "I waited for you to return." "We need to talk." "Tell me, Mother." "I am listening." "Beyhan came today." "Is that so?" "I wish you had told me." "Has she gone already?" "She didn't want to distress you." "She wasn't happy." "What is upsetting her?" "She is disturbed by the gossip concerning Ferhat Paşa." "They are not true." "They are not even the whole truth." "That son-in-law that you are so proud of is up to his neck in corruption." "Are you sure?" "I have no doubt." "You are not thinking of taking his life, are you?" "No." "Don't do this." "Think of Beyhan." "She is your sister." "Don't make her suffer." "Should he remain unpunished?" "Is that what you want?" "I was so embarrassed when I saw the complaints received by Zembilli Ali Hodja." "I won't let anyone off." "No, he must be punished." "But not his life." "Where shall I put these?" "How should I know?" "Put them somewhere." "Gülnihal." "Come here." "I am sorry." "I am in pain." "Don't be angry with me." "It's not easy, Hürrem." "I know." "But don't give up." "This evil will pass." "Everyone in the palace is laughing because I have left." "But you were sad." "You came with me." "You shared my punishment." "I treated you the worst." "But you came." "Don't think about that." "It's passed." "Sultan Süleyman won't look at me." "He won't even listen." "He ran." "He stayed away from me." "Write it down, Hürrem." "Write whatever is in your heart." "We will send it to him." "Your Majesty." "Take your book, Pargalı." "You have passed from Hell to Heaven." "You are no longer in Purgatory." "Is this a new violin?" "It is my mother's violin." "It is a keepsake." "I started playing on this violin." "My brother gave it to me when I went to Parga." "He kept it for all these years in case I returned." "Play it sometime and soothe our souls." "The Council meets tomorrow." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I sent word to the Council members." "Good." "Sultan Beyhan came today." "She spoke to my mother." "Obviously Ferhat Paşa sent her to ask that I spare his life." "What have you decided?" "The decision is your, Pargalı." "His fate is in your hands." "I understand." "What of the other matter?" "I am investigating Ayşe Hatun's death, Your Majesty." "But there has not been a development." "I want to sleep a deep sleep, Pargalı." "I want to forget." "Your Gülnihal turned out to be made of stern stuff." "She couldn't leave her friend." "She has a beautiful soul." "What is Hürrem Hatun to do?" "She is trying to stay standing like the rest of us." "The harem is not the same without her." "She got us used to her." "The harem has no colour or life left." "Sümbül Agha." "Ruhsar?" "Why are you here?" "I...." "Ayşe Hatun's murder...." "Well?" "I saw it happen." "Oh, my God." "My darling Sultan." "The master of my heart, body and soul." "You sent me not to a palace but to Hell." "What am I to do with a palace without you in it?" "A woman who sent poison to your table lies next to you and yet here I am." "I am burning in flames." "And I am innocent." "Without sin." "Without hope." "Is this how love is punished?" "Come in." "İbrahim Paşa." "Just now, one of the concubines came to me." "She said some things about Ayşe Hatun's death." "What did she say?" "The hatun is here." "By your leave I will summon her to tell you." "Show her in." "What is your name?" "Ruhsar, Effendi." "Tell me what you know." "That night I got up to drink some water." "Ruhsar." "If you are going for some water can you bring me some too?" "All right." "Didn't you see who it was?" "It was dark, my Paşa." "The person's back was turned and I couldn't see." "How do you know it wasn't Hürrem?" "Hürrem Hatun is taller." "And her hair is lighter." "So it wasn't Hürrem." "Is that it?" "It wasn't." "I would have known if it was." "It was a short slim girl." "She had dark hair." "Think hard." "Look me in the eyes." "Did you not see anything else?" "That is all I know, my Paşa." "In that case why didn't you say so earlier?" "Why didn't you say anything?" "I was afraid it would cause trouble for me." "Today I saw Sultan Hürrem leave." "I was so sad to see her like that." "Have you told anyone else?" "No, I have only told you." "Good." "You will keep your mouth shut." "You will not speak about this." "Or I will burn you." "Do you understand?" "Sümbül Agha, Nigar Kalfa." "What was spoken in this room is to remain in this room." "I will see to this matter personally." "Get out." "This is İbrahim Paşa's first Council." "Let's see what decisions he will make." "Don't be surprised if Pargalı takes your head." "It is not his place." "I am a groom of the royal family." "I am counted as one of the family." "He might also be a groom." "Who knows?" "How is that going to happen?" "There is only Sultan Hatice." "And she is engaged to Piri Paşa's son." "They say that the engagement was broken off, Ferhat Paşa." "Don't you know?" "We will begin preparations when my lion announces your marriage to İbrahim Paşa." "Let's decide where you will live." "We will live wherever you deem appropriate, Mother." "İbrahim Paşa is to chair his first Council today." "You should ask his opinion too." "I don't need his opinion." "His Majesty wants to have a huge wedding." "But believe me, I want no such thing." "I just want a modest ceremony." "If it were left to you we wouldn't even have one." "You would take your bag and go today." "In the name of Allah." "I open the Council meeting in the name of Allah, the compassionate and the merciful." "Before we begin I would like to clarify this point." "As of now His Majesty His Excellency Sultan Süleyman Khan has declared that he will not attend the Council except for when he deems it necessary." "As the Grand Vizier of the Empire I have chosen the Viziers with whom I will work while carrying out this honourable duty." "However first we must speak of some new appointments." "Let us begin with them." "I have appointed Ferhat Paşa as governor of Semendire one of the most important places in Rumelia." "I am honoured." "I will carry out my duty in any place the Empire sees fit to send me to." "A demotion?" "Is this what Ferhat Paşa deserves, Grand Vizier?" "It is." "Ahmet Paşa." "You have served the Empire with distinction." "Ahmet Paşa will continue his service as the Governor of Egypt." "Does the Padişa know of your decision?" "Do not be concerned, my Paşa." "His Majesty knows of all decisions." "I hereby appoint Ayas Paşa, the Governor of Rumelia and Çoban Mustafa Paşa as the new Council Viziers with His Majesty's approval." "Did you send the letter?" "I gave it to the Aghas this morning." "They will send it to the palace." "I haven't had such a peaceful night for such a long time." "I had beautiful dreams." "That snake called Hürrem has gone." "The harem will be at peace again, my Sultan." "I hope so, Gülşah." "I have spoken to İbrahim too." "He says that the days of Hürrem are over." "We can relax now." "Sümbül Agha!" "What is it?" "There is a letter from the old palace." "They told me to give it to you." "Sultan Hürrem wrote it to His Majesty." "All right, give it here." "We need to have new fabrics sown by the wedding." "We can send candles, a torchlight procession musicians and acrobats through the streets." "The people can enjoy themselves." "The Council has ended, my Sultan." "I am not expecting good news from that Council." "They have decided on demotions for Ferhat and Ahmet Paşa." "Ferhat Paşa is to be the Governor of Semendire in Rumelia and Ahmet Paşa is to be the Governor of Egypt." "Good." "Thank Allah for that." "At least it is not an execution." "It was obvious that this would happen." "I am grateful that I still have my life." "I wish they had taken my life." "I fought my way up to this position by tooth and nail." "They are sending me to Egypt when I deserve to be the Grand Vizier." "I will make Pargalı İbrahim pay for this." "I will make Sultan Süleyman regret turning a blind eye to this appointment." "I have no objections to your decisions, İbrahim." "In fact, I am happy." "It would have been right to take Ferhat Paşa's life but Sultan Beyhan's grief would have upset me." "Your Majesty, I am aware of your concern but...." "I know, Pargalı." "Hope for the best." "Your Majesty." "Later, Sümbül Agha." "My Paşa." "There is a letter for His Majesty." "That's all." ""My darling Sultan." "The master of my heart, body and soul." "You sent me not to a palace but to hell." "What am I to with a palace without you in it?" "A woman who sent poison to your table lies next to you and yet here I am." "I am burning in flames." "And I am innocent." "Without sin." "Without hope." "Is this how love is punished?" "I found sanctuary with you when I had no mother or father." "You are my family and my love." "I was beaten and poisoned." "I was thrown in prison." "I was insulted." "All because I love you." "Now they have branded me a murderer." "I have been separated from my child." "I have been separated from you." "I have no one to whom to turn but Allah." "I leave the judgement for this punishment to His Majesty's heart, to his great conscience." "I kiss your hands with love."" "Your Majesty, is there bad news?" "It's Hürrem Hatun." "She is complaining and saying that it is unfair." "She leaves my heart and conscience to judge." "What is it?" "Has an answer arrived?" "He probably hasn't read it yet." "What answer?" "What if he is angry when he reads it?" "I wish I hadn't wrote it." "Look." "I listened to you and made a mistake." "You bought it not by the metre but by the ball." "See you later." "Goodbye." "Beautiful." "I mean you have drawn it well." "Who is this woman?" "She is...." "I don't know." "I just drew her." "Mashallah ." "You draw well." "You are skilled." "You are skilled." "Sultan Hürrem!" "What is it, Esma?" "İbrahim Paşa is here, he wanted me to let you know." "İbrahim?" "Leave us alone." "İbrahim Paşa." "What happened?" "You found out that I am innocent, didn't you?" "You are going to save me." "Yes." "I will save you from the offences you had been charged with." "Really?" "Will you do it?" "Of course I will." "I can take you to the palace right now." "Wait, I am going to get ready now." "I want something from you, Hürrem Hatun." "If you do what I say, everything will be all right." "If you don't, you will never see His Majesty again."
