"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalised based on history." "Come on, hurry up." "Why are you taking my stuff?" "Valide Sultan's orders." "Is she kicking me out of the palace?" "Where am I going to go?" "Does His Majesty know?" "He won't send me away." "I am to bear a child." "Just stop talking for a second." "Don't make a scene." "Listen before you get all angry." "The Valide Sultan is moving you to a better chamber for your comfort." "You'll have concubines serving you." "Just so you can have an easy birth." "Really?" "Am I going to have my own chamber?" "Like Mahidevran?" "Are we going to be the same?" "God forgive." "Don't compare yourself to her." "Am I going to have concubines?" "Am I going to give orders?" "I want Ayşe as my concubine." "Anything else, Hürrem Hatun?" "I want you." "Look after me." "Protect me." "Mahidevran is going to kill me." "You look amazing, my Valide." "Your light dazzles my eyes." "What's going on, Mahidevran?" "You look quite happy." "How can't I be?" "His Majesty returned home victorious." "My son Mustafa is healthy." "And we have you." "I can't ask Allah for more." "Good." "Finally you came to your senses." "Mother!" "Mustafa?" "What is it, my son?" "Let's go visit my father." "We can't, His Majesty is very busy." "Mother, is my father upset with me?" "What are you saying?" "Of course not." "Then he's upset with mother." "Why doesn't he visit us?" "Does it always have to be me who visits him?" "The ambassadors are here." "They are waiting to be invited to congratulate you." "Let them wait, Pargalı, as I waited for the Belgrade campaign." "Now I want to enjoy it." "Let's play, Matrakçı." "I will beat you." "My prince is here." "But I can't play, I am busy." "We'll play later, I promise." "What are you doing?" "Writing?" "Did the tutor give you homework too?" "Look what I am drawing." "Look carefully." "I did." "So what?" "Come with me." "Stand here and look inside." "What do you see?" "You were drawing my father." "Your glorious victory has resounded in all the palaces of Europe." "As a sign of the great friendship between Venice and Ottoman Empire I present to you the tax agreement..." "The bird is singing again." "You should listen, you must've missed it in the deserts of Damascus." "Take it easy, Paşa." "People are listening." "Don't worry, they can't hear." "Your Majesty, Signor Mocenigo is asking you to permit the Venetian ships to trade at ports in Tripoli, Damascus and Alexandria." "Wait, Pargalı." "The infidel Louis must be waiting to hear from me." "We shouldn't leave him unattended." "Write, Celalzade." "Louis, the infidel." "When my edict reaches you, you should know that many rulers before have taken shelter in our lands and become a servant to our house." "You were my wounded prey." "But you didn't show yourself on the battlefield." "Since it is not the way of my great ancestors to chase one who is running away to kill the weakened your life was spared by us." "Why did you not send an ambassador to our sanctuary, to my great council, and request to be our subject?" "As a result of your lack of wit we have decided to build our command tent in Buda." "Look how scared the ambassador is." "He looks like he's going to die." "His Majesty's plan is so good that the ambassador will bring the news to them immediately." "Just wait and see what kind of mess Europe will find itself in." "Even if you turn into an ant and sneak in your little hole or turn into a bird and fly high in the sky with the help of Allah, I will pursue you and I will remove your filthy existence from this world." "Answer my valuable and effective orders and be ready when the time comes." "That is all." "Your Majesty, I would like to see Louis' face when he receives this letter." "If he is a true man, he will send a reply without committing any treacherous acts." "And for the Venetians' request, translate my words, Pargalı." "They may enter those ports." "However I am increasing the tax for Cyprus to 10,000 gold ducats." "Let it be known." "Stay with me, Nigar Kalfa." "I can't, Hürrem Hatun." "I have work to do." "Then let Maria stay." "I want this." "I command it." "Valide Sultan, my hatun." "You seem well, Hürrem." "Thankfully you are better." "We were worried last night." "I am well, thanks to you." "Good, your Turkish is getting better too." "You will be treated well here." "Take care of yourself." "That baby is a member of the Ottoman dynasty, remember that." "Act accordingly." "That baby's life is more valuable than yours." "Don't do anything that would harm the baby." "They poisoned me and my son." "No such thing happened." "What do you mean, poisoned?" "I looked into it." "It was just the clotted cream, it had gone bad." "You ate a little too much." "That's why you got sick." "I don't want to hear about this again." "We were hoping she would die, now she has her own private room." "And I am being exiled." "I saved your life." "What else do you want?" "What if they kill me too before leaving for Edirne?" "İbrahim told me you shouldn't be seen around." "I talked to Daye." "She is sending you to the old palace." "I will have you returned here later." "My Sultan, may Allah protect you." "Thank you." "I will pray that she gives birth to a girl." "So Prince Mustafa will be the only heir." "He won't be, Gülşah." "She is going to keep having babies." "Prince Mustafa is coming!" "We are going to kill the infidels with my father!" "Run away, infidels!" "Matrakçı." "I thank you on behalf of Venice for the promise you gave us regarding the ports." "Our alliance will advance further as a result of this new agreement." "The Russian ambassador Tratjak Guben is in your presence, my Sultan." "Allow me to present to you the congratulation letter from Prince Vasili, my Sultan." "Pargalı, ask him if he has any business here besides the letter." "We are quite generous today." "Why not give something to our neighbour?" "Your Majesty, I know what the Russian wants." "They are unhappy with the Crimean Khan." "The Tatars don't let the Russian traders come near the ports." "That is what he should do." "Whatever, let's see what he has to say." "Sultan Süleyman is listening." "Hürrem?" "My dear friend, where were you?" "I was scared something bad was going to happen, Hürrem." "Bad?" "See, something good happened." "Now I have here." "Look." "How is it?" "Good, isn't it?" "It's great." "You have windows too." "You can see outside." "So can you." "You'll be staying here with me." "We are going to live here, Maria." "My name is Gülnihal now, Hürrem." "My name is Gülnihal." "It means young and beautiful." "Gülnihal?" "Who gave you this name?" "Sümbül Agha." "I became a Muslim, Hürrem!" "Why?" "Who wanted you to?" "I did." "I asked Sümbül Agha to make me a Muslim." "Why did you do such a thing?" "Why?" "Gülnihal." "Put these in the closet." "Gülnihal?" "So you know it too." "Gülnihal, take those inside too." "You made her do it." "You told her to become a Muslim so she could lie with Sultan Süleyman." "Are you out of your mind, Hürrem Hatun?" "Why would I care about her religion?" "Get some rest." "Pull yourself together." "Think about your health." "Don't try to give me advice, kalfa!" "I know that Maria will be trouble for me because of you." "We struck a good deal with the Venetian committee, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, with all due respect people living near those harbours might be uncomfortable with these privileges." "Paşa." "You can't fish without bait." "Who is supposed to be the fish here?" "The big fish." "The biggest fish in the Mediterranean." "The island of Rhodes." "They are the worst enemies of the Muslims." "They plunder our ships headed to Mecca." "Every ship sailing from Egypt is attacked by the Rhodian pirates." "Venice won't be able to cross us otherwise they'll lose what we've given them." "While Venice and Louis are waiting for me to attack Buda we will already be on our way to Rhodes." "In the end, the Mediterranean Sea will be under the Empire's reign." "Piri Paşa, start the preparations in secret." "We'll be in the Mediterranean by spring." "Gülnihal Hatun." "What happened?" "Are you moving?" "I am moving my belongings to Hürrem's chamber." "Is Hürrem Hatun okay?" "The doctor is going to check on her in a minute." "She got really angry with me because I became a Muslim." "She's jealous of you." "She's afraid you're going to be competition." "Trust me." "Come on, you have to take this." "Open your mouth." "I won't." "What if I am poisoned?" "The chief physician sent this." "He said it would clean your insides." "I will die before I drink that." "Hatun, the important thing with this remedy is the quantity." "If you take just enough, it is good for you." "It is only poisonous when you take too much of it." "Remember, it's about the quantity." "Come on." "I can't wait all day." "I'll come again tomorrow." "Get some rest." "Why are you insisting it's poison?" "She will tell others." "I know who poisoned me." "Who?" "Mahidevran did it." "If I were in her place I would do the same." "What is this?" "I am about to be finished, my prince." "I can beat you." "Yes you can, my prince." "My father can beat you too." "No, he can't." "I am the Padişa of matrak ." "Father!" "Mustafa." "Matrakçı says he's the Padişa of matrak ." "Far from it, Your Majesty." "I wouldn't dare." "He said that?" "Then he has to be beheaded." "İbrahim, bring the executioners." "No, don't execute him." "I want him to play with me." "Okay, Mustafa." "Let the man work, you've been keeping him busy since the morning." "The audience chamber was busy today." "Tell me, Matrakçı, do you prefer the land or the sea?" "I prefer the sea, Your Majesty." "I like sailing on the open sea." "But wherever you choose to fight is heaven to us." "Start preparing then." "We are headed to the open seas." "They prepared your chamber really fast, that's good." "I hope you will have a healthy pregnancy." "You seem well." "We were scared last night." "If anything happens to you..." "Allah forbid." "How is the baby?" "He is well." "He is kicking me like he's beating a drum." "That's good." "Look." "I brought a lucky charm for you." "Carry this inside your dress." "It will protect you from the evil eye." "Thank you." "I will carry this all the time." "So it will protect my son." "And me." "Don't worry." "Concierge İbrahim has been following the matter very closely." "He will make sure you won't be harmed." "Yes." "His Majesty really trusts İbrahim." "He is a good man." "He is." "An honest, loyal, and skilful man." "He plays the violin very well." "All alone at nights." "Have you ever heard him playing?" "I have." "When you listen to him you suddenly feel peaceful." "You become entranced by it." "Sümbül Agha." "What is the situation in the harem?" "Your Majesty." "We prepared a new chamber for Hürrem Hatun by the Valide Sultan's orders." "She now stays there." "The doctor says she is healthy." "Good." "Good." "Come, Mustafa." "Guess where we are going." "Where?" "You'll see when we get there." "Please, I don't want to go to the harem, father." "I want to stay here." "Come, Mustafa." "Concierge." "Hürrem is in her new chamber." "I am watching her." "I put her best friend with her there to serve her." "Who is that?" "I don't want any trouble." "No, she's like an angel." "And she became a Muslim too." "I named her Gülnihal." "Good." "She is beautiful, then?" "Maria." "I mean Gülnihal." "Could you bring us some nuts?" "I want to eat some." "I should go." "Mother must be waiting." "Has İbrahim ever played the violin for you?" "No, how could he?" "I just listen to him from a distance." "I'll visit again tomorrow." "See you later." "Welcome, Your Majesty." "I just wanted to check if she needed anything." "Well thought, Hatice." "Hürrem is in your hands now." "Look, Mustafa." "This is Hürrem Hatun." "Your belly is so big." "What did you eat?" "It is your brother, Mustafa." "Soon he'll be born and you'll carry him." "I don't want a brother." "Hatice, let's go." "My Hürrem." "My dear Sultan." "The pregnancy has made you even more beautiful." "Mother!" "Mustafa?" "So, what did you do today?" "Matrakçı showed me his paintings." "Then we visited Hürrem Hatun with my father." "Her belly was so big because there is a baby in it." "My father said it was my brother." "They lied, didn't they?" "I don't have a brother." "He was upset with me so he didn't come." "Gülfem!" "Yes?" "Gülfem, you have no idea what I've done." "What happened, my Sultan?" "I visited Hürrem's chamber to wish her well." "I wish hadn't." "Was she disrespectful towards you?" "No, she was nice." "So?" "But we talked about İbrahim." "I got carried away and told everything." "I told her what a nice and talented man he is." "What if she knows?" "What if she tells His Majesty?" "This is a nightmare." "I couldn't hold my tongue." "Rhodes is so important, Piri Paşa that whoever takes it owns the Mediterranean." "Even a bird couldn't pass through without our knowledge." "I don't understand how my father could have overlooked it and gone to fight the Mamluks." "He underestimated them." "He underestimated Rhodes and the thugs who live there." "I remember quite well." "He said "You are trying to keep me busy with this island of thieves when I am trying to capture the most glorious lands of Islam."" "That is not how I see Rhodes, Piri Paşa." "It is far more valuable to me." "Şeker Agha, is Hürrem Hatun's food ready?" "She is craving." "It is." "Now I have to deal with Hürrem Hatun." "Like preparing food for the family wasn't enough." "She has been eating non-stop." "I don't know how many plates I've sent." "Şeker Agha, be careful." "Or, you know...." "Taster, come and check these." "I still haven't prepared the fruits for the private chamber." "His Majesty is working with the council." "Pargalı, even the infidel Vatican calls this place a holy place." "That's why the Knights of Saint John live a good life there." "All the kings protect it because they are the enemies of Islam." "And they attack Muslim ships." "The only man they are afraid of in the Aegean is Captain Kurtoğlu a man from the Muslim, Barbaros' fleet." "Kurtoğlu Muslihiddin Bey destroyed all their galleons and seized everything they had." "The Rhodians have been living like pirates on the sea for years." "They must have understood now." "The other matter is the most important one for me." "The things these infidels are doing to Sultan Cem." "They have captured him and they have used him as a hostage." "My grandfather Sultan Beyazıt paid them thousands of gold pieces." "Now they are holding Cem's children hostage." "Their hostages are carrying Ottoman blood." "I will end this disgrace no matter what." "Eat your meal." "Gülnihal." "You eat first." "I don't feel like it." "You should eat." "Open your mouth." "Swallow it." "Wait." "You're the weirdest woman I've seen in this harem." "What are you doing?" "It was me who nearly died last night, not you." "What if I die, Hürrem?" "What about me?" "What about you?" "And since you have become a Muslim, you will go straight to heaven." "You didn't die, see?" "I can eat now." "Start the preparations for the Rhodes campaign." "Reinforce the navy." "I will have Celalzade write the first letter tomorrow." "Should we keep the preparations in secrecy?" "Yes, for now." "What was this fake politeness called?" "Diplomacy." "Some call it politics." "Diplomacy." "Let's see what their answer will be." "I don't care about their response." "It's just a pretext." "I only care about the battlefront." "The Valide Sultan is asking for you, Your Majesty." "It must be important if she is asking for me." "Do you need anything, Mother?" "You asked to see me." "It's been days since we had a talk, mother and son." "Hürrem Hatun has moved to her new chamber." "I visited her, she was doing well." "Is this what you were going to tell me?" "Hatice, my unlucky Sultan." "I want her to be happy too." "She was left a widow at a young age." "It's time for her to be married again." "Have you talked to her?" "What does she think?" "I tried talking with her." "She was too shy to talk about it." "But she didn't seem reluctant." "You know how she is." "She doesn't open herself up easily." "I am very fond of her." "I also want her to be happy." "But I don't know anyone worthy of being with her." "I know that very well, my lion." "But it can't go on like this." "Surely we can find someone suitable for her." "I hope so." "My Sultan." "My mother is going to marry me off." "To whom?" "Whomever they decide on." "Gülfem, I can't bear this again." "I can't marry with some old Paşa again!" "I will kill myself!" "Your Majesty?" "Why did you stop, Pargalı?" "Keep playing." "My brother is here." "What if he saw me?" "What am I going to do, Gülfem?" "Come on, keep playing." "Did I make you uncomfortable?" "Of course not." "You look like you saw the Angel of Death." "Don't worry, I won't kill you." "I was just lost for a second, Your Majesty." "How is the Valide Sultan?" "Is it something important?" "Everything is important to women." "It's the same for all of them, even my mother." "She wants to marry Hatice off." "She lost her husband at a young age." "Whatever is best, Your Majesty." "If you are not playing, let's work on our Rhodes politics." "Congratulations on your new position." "May the years bring you fortune and well being." "I would like to have a peaceful relationship with you as my ancestors did." "Cherish my friendship." "Congratulate me on my victories." "I conquered the unconquerable Belgrade." "I understood your letter well, Sultan Süleyman." "I know your victory in Belgrade will not be enough for you and you wish to go for another one." "The things you have said about friendship made me feel relieved as much as they would annoy Kurtoğlu." "The pirate Kurtoğlu attacked me on my way back to France and attempted to destroy me." "However, he failed." "It is good to hear you have understood my letter." "Of course I will not stop at Belgrade." "I am hoping for another victory." "Actually, I promise myself that victory." "You should not have a doubt of it." "Hold your sword tight, my prince." "Okay, İbrahim." "I have been longing for you for days." "Mustafa, don't make too much noise." "Lala Paşa is inside." "You must have work to do." "I shouldn't keep you busy." "My mind is busy with you, my Sultan." "Look at me for once." "I want to see your eyes." "I am longing for the smile you deny me." "I wouldn't deny you if I could help it." "But you must have heard." "My mother and His Majesty have plans for me." "I do too." "I have hope." "I have dreams that include you, my Sultan." "I don't know what His Majesty would say." "But I can't help it." "Lala, I will be leaving the Empire in your hands when I leave for Rhodes next spring." "I was content with leaving the Empire in your safe hands when I went to Belgrade." "I appreciate it, Your Majesty." "You can be sure that I will honourably carry out this great task." "If you excuse me, Your Majesty." "Of course, Lala." "Your Majesty, I'd like to say something with all due respect." "You may, Lala." "The Valide Sultan had found a suitable wife for my son Batur Bey." "You were at war at the time." "Yes." "And my son liked her very much." "A Ruthenian concubine." "Her name is Hürrem." "Hürrem?" "He is still in love and waiting for the concubine." "Mustafa, come." "What is it?" "When did you come here?" "It's been some time." "Apparently you can see nobody but Sultan Hatice." "Hürrem Hatun." "Do not speak like this." "Because it is none of your business." "Go to your chamber and wait for your birth." "Don't walk around." "It's bad for your health." "Understood?" "Pargalı." "I go wherever I want." "I see whatever I want." "I say whatever I want." "His Majesty is busy with Lala Kasım Paşa." "Go to your chamber!" "Don't be afraid." "I won't tell His Majesty what I saw, not today." "Maybe later." "I will tell him whenever I want." "Mahidevran is right." "We have to get rid of this woman." "Or she will get rid of us." "My Sultan, these fabrics came from Damascus and Egypt." "Look how beautiful they are." "I like this one." "My Valide, this would look good on you." "It looks nice, but the colour is for young women." "Sew a dress for Hatice with this one." "I don't have any use for it." "We don't have even half the beauty you possess." "Daye, call Hatice here, she should choose among them." "Get out, everyone." "Tell me, Mother." "What have you done without my knowledge?" "Show some respect for your mother." "How you dare trying to marry my woman off." "What is this nonsense?" "Lala Kasım Paşa told me." "He says Batur Bey is deeply in love." "Don't make me angry, mother." "What does this mean?" "Lala asked me if she was available." "I told him we would think about it later, when you came back." "After we found out about her pregnancy, I never mentioned it again." "Hürrem is my woman, my favourite, my Sultan." "Let it be known." "Don't forget this." "I see." "You are in love with Hürrem." "You might as well announce it at the Friday sermon." "I will if I want." "Gülnihal." "You should have seen Pargalı's face." "When he realised I had seen with him Hatice his face went pale." "Then purple." "Hürrem, he is an important man." "Don't make him your enemy." "He is His Majesty's closest friend." "He used to be." "Now I am closest to him." "Who does he think he is?" "Don't do this." "Promise me you won't cross him." "I can't promise." "İbrahim will gain more power if he marries Hatice." "This marriage cannot happen." "Prepare a woman for His Majesty tonight." "He hasn't relaxed for a while." "Of course." "I will pick them myself, don't worry." "But I don't want you to pick anyone, Sümbül Agha." "I want a specific concubine." "Prepare that Crimean woman who stays with Hürrem." "Do...." "Do you mean Gülnihal?" "Hürrem?" "Prepare her." "Specifically Gülnihal." "Gülnihal." "Yes, Nigar Kalfa." "Can I help you?" "Come with me." "You need to get ready." "We are going." "Hürrem is sleeping, Nigar Kalfa." "I can't leave." "Do as I say, come on." "I can't, Nigar Kalfa." "Where are we going?" "Don't ask questions." "You are going to lie with him." "His Majesty is waiting for you." "The Castle of Rhodes seems more challenging than Belgrade, Your Majesty." "With the navy we will build, that castle will go down like paper." "The Knights of Rhodes will witness the power of the Ottoman cannons." "However great a mountain is, a road always goes up its side." "The Grand Master will lose his castle and his head both of which he's proud of." "You should rest tonight, Your Majesty." "You look like an angel, Gülnihal." "Good luck." "Maybe, just like Hürrem" "I can't be like Hürrem." "She is going to kill me when she hears about this." "Don't worry." "Don't talk to His Majesty." "Be polite." "Be respectful." "Act shy." "I can't afford to rest, Pargalı." "We need to work." "You can rest if you're tired." "I have prepared a breeze for the soul for you." "I will be behind that door." "You can tell me if you don't like it." "A breeze for the soul, is it?" "A hurl from the heaven." "You may leave, Pargalı." "Gülnihal, bring me some water." "I'm burning." "Gülnihal." "Gülnihal." "Gülnihal!" "Gülnihal!" "Gülnihal!" "Gülnihal!" "My water broke." "My water broke." "Gülnihal!" "Somebody help me!" "Help me, come on!" "I am dying!" "She is giving birth." "Bring the midwife." "Hang on, Hürrem." "Don't worry." "Sultan Süleyman, where are you?" "Don't worry." "Bring Sümbül Agha here." "Hurry!" "Sümbül Agha, okay." "I am here!" "What is happening?" "She is giving birth, hurry!" "I am here, Hürrem Hatun." "God, make it safe!" "What are these voices?" "Hürrem Hatun is giving birth, my Sultan."
