"İbrahim Pasha has finally arrived." "Yes, hopefully Hatice will stop mourning." "I see it in my dreams." "It's a nightmare." "One cannot forget that night." "I know how you protected Hatice and my princes with no regard for your life." "Your life belongs to me, my Hürrem." "It's my duty to protect you from all harm." "And your life is mine, Süleyman." "Treat my heart kindly." "Chirp, chirp." "Welcome, my pasha." "How are you, Nasuh Effendi?" "We are well, my pasha." "Thank Allah." "Where is Leo?" "He is wounded, but he is doing alright." "His Majesty commanded that he be treated at the palace." "And I go to see him regularly." "My sultan, I will take you upstairs so you can rest a bit." "Right here." "I lost the baby here." "My sultan." "Nigar Kalfa, why are you not eating?" "You enjoy it, my sultan." "I am not hungry." "The girls are having a feast thanks to you." "All of you, enjoy the food." "Thank you." "Has anyone seen the ring?" "No one knows who took it." "They wouldn't tell even if they did." "My emerald ring is missing." "I can't find it." "I will reward the person who finds it." "I will elevate whoever finds it." "Anyone who knows anything should tell Nigar Kalfa." "By your leave, my sultan." "My sultan." "My baby." "The baby is in heaven." "My sultan, my Hatice." "My sultan, look at me." "Look at me." "This is our house." "Our home." "It's all over now." "We are together now." "We won't be apart again." "You summoned me, my sultan." "My sultan, if you were going to ask about Sultan Hürrem I haven't seen any weaknesses yet." "Perhaps you don't want to see." "Do you have any news of Hürrem's ring?" "No, my sultan." "I do." "I found the ring on the terrace among the cushions when she was in Edirne." "I was going to give it to her when she returned." "But it slipped my mind when the rebellion began." "Take this ring and give it to Hürrem." "But I have one condition." "You are not to tell her that I gave you the ring." "You found it." "I understand, my sultan." "My sultan, the food is truly delicious." "Thank you very much." "Not at all." "Sultan Hürrem." "Yes, what is it?" "Don't tell me you have found my ring?" "Yes." "I have good news." "Your ring has been found." "How was it...?" "Where did you find it?" "One of the concubines just found it while cleaning her terrace." "My pasha." "Matrakçı." "Don't wipe away your tears." "It's okay, cry." "What better reason to cry?" "You have lost a child." "You have stayed strong to support your beloved, the mother of your child." "You are a brave man, my pasha." "Tears befit a brave father." "We have forbidden ourselves to cry in front of the women." "You can let yourself go now, my pasha." "Look." "Hopefully, one day your children will play in this garden." "This will pass too, my pasha." "Thank you Matrakçı." "I couldn't breathe for a moment there." "The pain inside me has drifted away." "Is Leo in his room?" "He is in his room, my pasha." "He sleeps and stirs." "Let's go and take a look, then." "Bring me that concubine tomorrow." "I am going to give her some gold." "There is no need." "It was her duty." "True." "Perhaps not to her, then." "I should give it to Mahidevran." "Do you think I am stupid?" "Of course not, my sultan." "She had it didn't she?" "She isn't involved in it." "The concubine" "Does her concubine clean my terrace?" "Don't be afraid." "Tell me." "I saw that she summoned you." "I won't quarrel with Mahidevran." "No more quarrelling." "Admit it." "She just found it, my sultan." "She just didn't want to hand it in herself." "Nigar Kalfa I trust you." "I wonder if I am making a mistake." "I am not at fault." "A sultan commanded me." "I see, you have become her confidant." "If she commanded you to kill me tomorrow, would you do it?" "Of course not." "I did it for you." "For there to be no argument, for it to end peacefully." "All right, I understand." "Don't worry." "I forgive you." "My pasha." "Leo Effendi." "I hope you get well soon." "I heard what happened." "You defended my home and my harem by putting your life on the line." "I owe you and Nasuh Effendi a great debt." "There is no debt." "May God protect you and your family." "His Majesty would like you to come to the palace tomorrow." "Let's finish that portrait that was left half done." "Now rest." "Let's leave you alone, right Matrakçı?" "We can go to the palace together." "Pargalı, come in." "Your Majesty." "How is Hatice?" "She is very upset." "It will take a while for her to get over it." "What about you?" "My sadness is nothing compared to...." "Men have many things to occupy them to help forget the grief." "But a mother lives thinking only about the disaster." "Time, Pargalı." "Time is the best cure in these situations." "It will pass." "Leo Effendi has come." "He awaits an audience in the main garden." "Alright." "The Venetian ambassador is waiting at the council doors." "I will speak to him." "Let's see what he wants." "I can tell you what he wants." "Their goods and stores were most damaged in the rebellion." "He will ask for assistance." "Let me not pay for this or that." "Let me not pay taxes." "You can see to it." "But don't have Mocenigo beg too much." "Even though he is an infidel, his goods are under the protection of the Empire." "Leo, why are you here?" "You said you would go when you recovered." "Nigar Kalfa." "Yes, my pasha." "Tell Hürrem Hatun to get ready." "Leo Effendi has arrived." "His Majesty will be in the garden." "Yes, my pasha." "Nigar?" "Sümbül Agha!" "It's only you." "Yes, it's me." "I don't like what I see." "Something has changed with you." "I am not sure what it is." "Stop bothering me!" "My sultan." "It's good that you have come." "I was just about to call you." "Leo Effendi has arrived." "His Majesty summons you." "I think it's for the portrait." "I saw him arrive from the terrace." "Take this." "What is this?" "I want to give Leo a gift." "Leo defended us without regard for his life." "I need to reward him." "Just a tip." "That's good." "Well done to the infidel." "You go on ahead and give it to him." "I will get ready and come." "Is he to be deprived of the honour of receiving the gift from a sultan's hand?" "Do what I told you to do." "As you command, my sultan." ""Forget me, our love and everything we had before." "You need to leave as soon as possible." "Take the gold and build yourself a new life."" "Pashas, the position of Foreign Minister is vacant due to the execution of the traitor Haydar Çelebi." "I've appointed Celalzade Mustafa Çelebi to the position." "May it be beneficial to us all." "It is my greatest hope to be worthy of such an esteemed position and the Empire." "The Venetian bailo has arrived." "Invite him in." "Seigneur Mocenigo, the Ambassador of Venice." "Grand Vizier, I am eternally grateful that you accepted to see me." "Welcome, Seigneur Mocenigo." "Please convey my regards to Andrea Gritti the Doge of the Republic of Venice." "As you know, while you were in Egypt Constantinople was burned and pillaged by rebel janissaries." "We have been through a great disaster." "During the rebellion the Venetian warehouses were badly damaged." "I am aware of all that has happened, Seigneur." "You will be compensated for the damages." "Do not be concerned." "Just don't fall behind on your taxes." "It is our duty to compensate the damages and your duty to pay taxes." "But how will we pay the taxes?" "There has been no profit." "How can I cross out what you have earned and will earn for the entire year?" "It is not only Venice that has suffered." "We are trying to bind the wounds of our own subjects." "The treasury can't bear that." "İbrahim Pasha, there is another matter." "I am listening." "I would like to introduce Seigneur Alvise Gritti the son of Doge Andrea Gritti." "He is one of our most prominent merchants operating here." "He has just returned from Venice." "Of course." "I'd like to meet him at a convenient time." "Nasuh Effendi, you didn't see what the janissaries did to me." "They took bags of my gold and silver away." "They threw me to the ground and destroyed the bazaar." "It was very bad." "But once Sultan Süleyman returned it is said that he cut the heads off the rebels with his own sword." "The next day people from the palace came by." "We calculated the damages and they paid immediately." "May Allah bless our padishah with long life." "Amen." "May Allah never leave us without him." "Nobody will dare try to riot or rebel again." "Set your mind at ease." "Good luck." "Thank you." "Antonio!" "I was just asking after you." "I have received a letter from Viktoria's uncle." "Give it here and I will deliver it myself." "Thank you." "Send my regards." "They await an answer." "If she replies, I will come and find you." "Thank you." "Send my regards." "Leo Effendi." "This is for you." "What is this?" "Sultan Hürrem sent it." "In gratitude for your services." "Thank you." "Make way!" "His Excellency Sultan Süleyman Khan." "Where is Sadıka?" "She went out to the garden, my sultan." "Thank you very much." "Well?" "Is that it?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, is that how you will thank me?" "You have made this poor admirer very happy." "May Allah see us through." "The sultan mustn't see us." "Here, take this rose." "How is your wound, Leo?" "It is better, Your Majesty." "It aches when I remember." "Then don't remember it." "Forget it, Leo." "You can only escape that which pains you by forgetting it." "Your Majesty, by your leave I would like to go once the portrait is finished." "I miss Crimea, my family...." "I will let your leave when it is time." "You will see your family again." "But not now." "I intend to give you a commission." "I am going to move you to the palace workshop." "You will have a wage and a house." "You can bring your family." "We can have you married too." "But Your Majesty...." "The matter is closed, Leo." "Let's begin." "İbrahim." "My sultan." "You are back early." "Did you return early for me?" "I find I can't bear to be away from you, my sultan." "I couldn't bear think of you here, alone." "I'm glad that you came." "Please don't leave me and go anymore." "Never." "Come." "Tell me, what have you done today?" "Nothing." "But I have news for you." "Matrakçı Nasuh Effendi came by today." "He gave Sadıka a letter in the garden." "I think he confessed his love." "Sadıka is willing too." "I'm sure of it." "It seems he waits for my absence to come." "It is time to have them marry." "We had promised." "Come in." "My pasha, the chests have arrived." "Bring them in." "What is it?" "Some presents for my sultan from Cairo." "Nigar Hatun, what are you doing here?" "Off you go." "Hürrem Hatun told me to wait." "Mashallah." "You obey her every command, don't you?" "Sümbül Agha!" "Your Majesty." "Where is İbrahim Pasha?" "İbrahim Pasha went to his palace." "Good." "He mustn't leave Hatice alone these days." "Leo Effendi, I am bored." "That's enough for today." "I want to go to the palace and see Hatice too." "You can come if you want to." "Forgive me, Your Majesty." "I have neglected my princes today." "I should see to them." "We could have dinner together this evening." "I will have it prepared on the terrace." "All right, I will go then." "I will be back this evening." "You gave him the gold, didn't you?" "Of course I did." "But it was weird." "He looked upset instead of happy." "You must have imagined it." "Leo Effendi is not himself." "What does that mean?" "It's obvious." "The entire harem has its eye on him." "But I think he has him eye on you." "What?" "Where did that come from?" "Did he say something to you?" "No, he didn't." "But he painted a picture of you." "He carries it with him." "Of course he has." "It's his job!" "That's why he gets a tip!" "A good painting means a good tip." "I don't understand why you are so angry." "Don't tell me such things." "I am His Majesty's sultan." "It is nobody's place to have eyes for me." "That is true." "It is nobody's place." "Allah forbid, he would lose his head." "Isn't that right, my sultan?" "They are all beautiful." "Sadıka, have them all taken to my chamber." "His Majesty Sultan Süleyman Khan!" "Hatice." "You are home." "Are you okay?" "Finally there is colour in your cheeks." "Your Majesty, you honour us." "Of course I smile when you come." "Pasha, we haven't talk about the details of your time in Egypt yet." "Tell me." "As you wish, Your Majesty." "Hürrem, everything is ready." "Thank you, Gülnihal." "Go to the children." "His Majesty is coming soon." "I had new legislation prepared and applied in Egypt, Your Majesty." "As of next year, five hundred thousand gold pieces left over from the expenses of the province of Egypt will be dispatched." "This dispatch has been put aside for your personal treasury." "Good." "We will come back to the matter of Egypt." "What did the Venetian bailo say?" "What did he want?" "Did he whine?" "As you predicted, he spoke of the merchant's damages." "He relaxed when I told him that they would be compensated." "His face fell when I told him that there was no escaping the taxes." "He expressed his gratitude to you and left." "You are quite the shrewd negotiator." "During our meeting, the ambassador mentioned a merchant, Your Majesty." "Alvise Gritti." "Who does this surname remind you of, Your Majesty?" "Andrea Gritti, the Doge of Venice." "Is he of the same family?" "His very own son." "Apparently he runs large warehouses in our ports." "How come the son of the Doge of Venice lives here and we don't know about it?" "His father was bailo here about 25 to 30 years ago." "He fell in love with a Greek beauty." "Alvise Gritti is the son of this woman." "He grew up here and in Venice." "Year later, when his father became a king his siblings in Venice disregarded him and kept him away." "They protected their Catholic, wedded mother and rejected him." "We must definitely meet this person, Pargalı." "It's our turn to come between father and son." "Who are you to put a sack over my head?" "Did you think I would forget?" "I will kill you." "I will crush you like an insect." "It's not my fault!" "Sultan Mahidevran ordered it." "As of now, pray when turning every corner." "Be wary of every nook and cranny." "Never walk the corridors of this harem alone." "My sultan." "I'm glad I saw you." "I'm off to the hamam ." "Did you give her the ring?" "I handed it in as you requested." "Good." "Now tell me." "What shall I tell you?" "You were seen giving Leo Effendi a pouch of gold." "Is he going to paint you too?" "You are surprised, aren't you?" "I have concubines more loyal than you, Nigar Kalfa." "Your Majesty." "I have had food prepared for you." "Let's eat together." "Don't leave tonight." "We are honoured to host you." "Stay here tonight." "Grace us with your presence in the morning." "I don't need a meal." "Fruit is enough." "How can I leave if you ask me to stay, Hatice?" "I would not turn down the pleasure." "Your Majesty, you've made us very happy." "I will inform the palace not to wait for you." "I will have your chamber prepared." "Mother will be jealous of this evening." "She will ask why she wasn't invited." "Go and call Sümbül Agha." "My Valide." "We haven't spoken today." "I thought I would come by and see you." "How are my princes?" "Mashallah, they are well." "His Majesty is coming." "We are going to dine together." "My lion is in Hatice's palace." "They have sent word that he'll be staying there tonight." "Is that so?" "Your Majesty, is there anything else you require?" "No." "Stay." "Your Majesty, allow me to prepare." "There is no need."
