"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalized based on history." "Wait." "Your Majesty, I would like to give you important news." "A concubine has witnessed the murder of Ayşe Hatun." "She says Sultan Hürrem is not the murderer." "Who was it then?" "We have yet to find that out." "All we know is it wasn't Sultan Hürrem." "Why didn't you tell me this?" "I wanted to seek the truth myself, Your Majesty." "Are you sure?" "I certainly am." "Have Sultan Hürrem return to the palace at once." "I already did, Your Majesty." "She should be here soon." "Which concubine was it?" "Well...." "Ruhsar Hatun." "İbrahim Pasha said nobody should know about this." "Hürrem Hatun is here, I am going to pick her up." "I need to tell you something, my sultan." "Hürrem Hatun is here." "Sümbül Agha has gone to bring her here." "What are you saying, Daye?" "How can she come here without my permission?" "Where did this come from?" "Sultan Mahidevran forgive me for my mistakes." "I have upset you." "It will never happen again." "Come, sit here." "Look at the dagger's handle." "Don't you lose it." "I can't bring another." "Your Majesty." "I would like to play matrak." "But I can't seem to find a worthy opponent to play matrak with." "By your leave, I would like to teach him a lesson, Your Majesty." "I would not wish to upset you, My Pasha." "You can never know who will be upset." "Let us see you play then!" "The winner will face me, and the loser will face Mustafa." "I was glad to hear that you are a dagger away from Süleyman's heart." "Take your time." "Do not make any mistakes." "You have only one chance." "Be patient." "I am waiting to hear that you've stabbed Süleyman in his heart with this dagger." "One!" "One!" "Two!" "Two!" "Three!" "My Pasha." "Come on!" "Four!" "Matrakçı!" "We should change your nickname since you lose every time." "This is what happens when you fantasize about seeing Sadıka Hatun all the time." "You have defeated Nasuh Effendi." "Let us see if you can defeat me too." "I'll take my chance if you allow me, Your Majesty." "I am Hürrem, a Ruthenian slave." "Sultan Süleyman Khan's concubine." "I am the mother of Prince Mehmet, Sultan Mihrimah and the future princes to whom I will give birth." "My children, I promise you your mother will make sure that those who she has knelt before will kneel before your mother when the time comes." "I swear I will." "You're back now, and you have Mehmet too." "Why aren't you happy?" "I will be someday." "But not now." "Later." "I will be when Mahidevran kneels before me." "My stomach." "It hurts so much." "God damn her!" "Look how she has come back." "My sultan, do you remember how she knelt before you?" "Give me some more of this medicine." "I am still in pain." "I can't stand seeing her face." "My sultan, maybe you should lie down a bit and rest." "It is Thursday." "I will see His Majesty." "I need to get ready." "My sultan, you are not feeling well." "I will go, even if I am burning up." "Darkness fills my heart when you speak of Mahidevran like this." "Don't be afraid Nigar Kalfa." "I have learned my lesson." "I will be a different person from now on." "I am not a child anymore." "If you learned your lessons and are not a child anymore remember it well." "Do not make the same mistakes again." "Thanks." "You may leave." "His Majesty will be here soon." "You are mistaken, Sultan Hürrem." "It is Thursday night." "His Majesty is going to be with Sultan Mahidevran." "Hürrem Hatun somehow convinced my son that she is innocent and now she is back." "We have to tighten her reins this time, Daye." "She must understand that she is not unrivaled in this harem." "Have you got something in mind, my sultan?" "Of course I do." "But first we have to find a suitable concubine." "Sümbül Agha!" "Yes?" "What is it Sadıka?" "I have things to do." "I want to be a favorite." "Nigar Kalfa told me I should ask you." "She said you would help." "Do you think I make that decision?" "That decision is not mine to make." "But I am a Muslim now!" "I will give you some gold." "No, don't." "This matter is too big to be arranged for a few coins." "I will keep giving them to you." "Wait a second...." "Are you trying to bribe me?" "What does that mean?" "Allah help me!" "You can't even speak the language and you want to be a favorite!" "I can't be bothered with you." "Just go!" "My sultan, His Majesty is not in his chamber." "He went out." "He will be back anyway." "I will wait inside." "He went to the harem, to Sultan Hürrem's chamber." "Gülnihal?" "Is that you?" "Welcome home, Hürrem." "If you are not feeling well, you should rest in your chamber, my sultan." "How did Hürrem Hatun come back, İbrahim?" "How?" "Because we decided she is innocent." "Worry not." "She will not be able to harm anyone anymore." "I am not so sure." "I thought I got rid of her." "And now she is with His Majesty." "And on a Thursday!" "My sultan, please." "Do not talk about your private life." "It is not my business." "I am just trying to protect your life and Prince Mustafa's future." "Your fears are unfounded." "Hürrem Hatun now understands she is not irreplaceable." "Your Majesty." "I have missed you so much." "I was longing for you." "Your letter affected me deeply." "Do you really love me that much?" "I love you so much." "Are you only just realizing that?" "I was saddened by your words." "I would not be unfair to you." "My heartache set my hands aflame." "I don't know what I had written." "I thought I had lost you." "But I promise from now on I will make you happy." "We will not fight." "I will not act like a child." "I have grown up." "What are you saying, Hürrem?" "Were you hurt that much?" "Süleyman...." "I have a family, thanks to you." "I am ready to give my life to keep my family in peace." "My sultan." "Come here, Sadıka, put this on." "This new dress looks good on you." "Sultan Mahidevran's gift." "Good morning, Mother." "Welcome, my lion." "I have allocated the palace at At Meydanı to İbrahim and Hatice." "It is a nice palace, suitable for Hatice." "And it is good that it is close." "We can visit each other regularly." "İbrahim will take care of it." "But I would especially want you to take care of it too." "Of course." "Nobody has lived there for some time." "Some renovations will be needed." "I am so sorry, my sultan." "I didn't mean to do it." "We can talk later, Mother." "I have to go." "Come on girls, hurry up!" "Put everything in place." "Sultan Hürrem, you might want to take a look." "If there is anything missing, they can bring it from the old palace." "Gülnihal can check." "Nigar Kalfa, I am going to ask you something." "Does everyone know that I am innocent?" "Our sultan has announced it himself." "Thankfully Ruhsar Hatun saw the incident." "Otherwise there would still be doubts." "Who is Ruhsar Hatun?" "One of the concubines." "She saw the murder and told them it wasn't you." "You set me up, İbrahim." "You fooled me." "You didn't know?" "Who did it?" "Who is the killer?" "It remains to be seen." "There is a murderer in this harem." "And we don't know who it is." "This is dangerous." "Very dangerous." "Have them allocate 200 thousand gold coins from the Domestic Treasury." "For the wedding expenses." "Draw up the documents and bring them to me." "And thank you for organizing the party in the main garden, Daye." "Sadıka?" "Yes, my sultan?" "I had ordered some delights with roses and lemons, did they arrive?" "They did, my sultan." "Here they are." "Enjoy." "Look at these colors, Daye!" "The ones with lemon are delicious!" "I could eat the whole bowl!" "You should have some too." "They are very good." "Sadıka, have the kitchen make some almond sherbet." "My sultan, I have reports from the treasurer with me." "Would you like to take a look now?" "Some other time." "No need to rush." "First, go and find Sümbül." "I have picked a suitable concubine for Süleyman." "He should get her ready." "Is it Sadıka?" "His Majesty, Sultan Süleyman Khan!" "Good morning!" "Your Majesty, the Safavid Emperor congratulates you for your victory in Rhodes." "This is his letter." "Has the misguided Shah come to his sense?" "Allah is the one who shows his grace, and among those sultans who have justice, sovereignty, caliphate, glory, power victory, greatness and supremacy may Allah give Sultan Süleyman Khan a long lasting reign." "May He carry his soldiers and friends to victory." "May He eradicate the enemies of religion." "May He destroy the sovereignty of blasphemy and infidels." "May the beautiful heavens and the gift of eternity be Sultan Süleyman Khan's, who is an example to every champion of Islam and he is the kaiser of all sultans such as Cem, Alexander Solomon and Darius." "Look how he complimented our Padishah!" "This is the only way to address to the Padishah of the world." "Let's not delay our answer." "Start writing, Cevri Çelebi." "Are we addressing Shah İsmail, Your Majesty?" "What Shah are you talking about, Cevri Çelebi?" "When did the emirs become shahs?" "At the Battle of Chaldiran?" "Write." "Head of a government and an emirate, son of Sheikh Haydar, Ismail the Safavid." "May Allah show you the right way." "It seems that the great victory of the Islam and the apparent way of our Prophet's sharia was delivered to you as required by our old traditions and the necessary answer and salutations is written to you via this letter." "What is this?" "What?" "What sort of game is this?" "You're cheating." "I am not playing." "I swear I am not!" "Look, I will throw the dice like this." "Okay, just do it." "Bismillah!" "Double sixes again?" "God, no!" "Put it back." "Put it back." "This doesn't count." "What happened?" "Put it back!" "Wait." "God!" "Take this glass and put the dices in it." "Shake it." "Now throw!" "A five and a one!" "See?" "It is fair now." "This is fair?" "You are going to win." "Come on." "Sümbül Agha, come with me." "What is it, Daye Hatun?" "This should be important, you coming all the way here." "Just listen." "You know Sadıka, right?" "Train her." "Teach her some manners." "Is this about...." "Soon she will appear before His Majesty." "In his private chamber?" "Wow." "Daye Hatun, the sultans will be so angry!" "They will tear down the harem!" "Enough with this, Sümbül Agha." "Save your important insight for Valide Sultan." "This comes from Valide Sultan herself?" "Then it's not for me to say anything." "Good, you understand." "Be careful." "Nobody must hear of this." "Not even Nigar." "My turn now." "Go ahead." "Now you'll see how to throw dice." "Use the glass." "There is another matter, Your Majesty." "There needs to be an urgent appointment for a new Rumelian Governor since Ayaz Pasha left." "Do you have a candidate in mind?" "Of course I do." "That office should be yours too." "Mine?" "Yes." "Ferhat Pasha will be the Governor of Smedevro." "Rumelia is the apple of our eye." "I want someone I trust to take care of it." "This is too much responsibility for me." "I get closer to death with every responsibility you give me." "Fear of death is a good thing." "It makes one cautious." "You should watch us, Sadıka." "Maybe you will learn something." "Embroider a cover for Valide Sultan." "Let her be, she doesn't need to learn everything." "I can do it too!" "Sadıka Hatun." "Sit down." "You are lucky." "I have decided to help you." "Put it back!" "Are you crazy?" "I will do everything I can for you." "Come to my chamber after you're done." "Okay." "Be smart and try not to stick out." "Go back to the girls." "What were you talking about with Sümbül Agha?" "I am İbrahim." "Son of Manolis the fisherman, the Parganian apostate." "You are in your own palace now." "See and believe." "Believe in yourself and your sultan." "Believe in your destiny." "And believe in God." "My Pasha?" "Come here, Matrakçı." "Wow, will you be staying here from now on?" "After the wedding, I hope." "Look at yourself." "You have it good." "Turns out the flame burning in your heart is for Sultan Hatice." "Tomorrow, let's go to the palace my son arranged for you." "We should start the renovations at once." "We will decide on whatever you want together." "That would be nice, Mother." "We should also ask Mahidevran, maybe she would want to come along." "Maybe you can take her next time." "Hürrem will be coming with us tomorrow." "As you wish, Mother." "No way, my Pasha." "If Victoria hadn't come, there is no way you could have beaten me." "Her name is Sadıka now, Matrakçı." "Not that it is any of my business." "But you should take losing better, don't you think?" "I will hurt you badly next time, my Pasha." "And you will be defeated here, in your own palace." "Is that so?" "I will be expecting you then." "Matrakçı." "I want some paintings on this wall." "Quiet big ones." "Can you do it?" "Our muralists are the best in the world, you should tell them." "I have never painted." "I don't have the skills for it." "I don't want decorations." "I am talking about paintings." "Like the ones in the infidel's palace." "I see." "You want something like paintings of birds, angels, and women." "Like icons." "Exactly." "I need a painter." "Do you know any?" "There is someone, but I don't know if he'd do it." "Who is that?" "His name is Leo, I've just met him." "He's from Crimea." "Crimea?" "Have you seen his work?" "Yes, in the bazaar." "He's a friend." "He has a beautiful design." "Quite skillful." "If you say so, I'd like to meet him." "As you wish, My Pasha." "I will introduce him to you if you'd come to bazaar tomorrow." "Hürrem." "Come here, my darling." "Look what I have got." "Look." "Beautiful." "What is it going to be?" "This part is embedded with diamonds." "It is a tulip with emeralds here, and a ruby in the middle." "The small ones will make a necklace, and an earring." "Thank you so much." "You are very thoughtful, Your Majesty." "When will it be finished?" "I will make you better ones." "This one is for Hatice." "It's going to be a wedding gift if I finish it on time." "This will look so good on Sultan Hatice's beautiful, elegant neck." "So...." "You will get on your knees as you enter the main chamber." "First, you will kiss the bottom of his robe." "You won't stand up until he approaches you." "Don't even think about raising your head, and looking at his face or making eye contact." "So, did you get all this?" "But how am I going to be a favorite?" "How will I enter the private chamber?" "Don't you worry about it." "I will find a way to make you walk down the Golden Road." "Come on now, do everything as I told you." "Leo?" "Leo?" "Hey, it is me!" "Are your paintings with you?" "They are here." "Why are you asking?" "Get them out." "You're to meet a very important person." "Get up." "Hold your hands like this." "My Pasha, this is Leo." "Good day to you, my Pasha." "Pleased to meet you." "Matrakçı Nasuh Effendi has spoken highly of you." "He said you were a good painter." "Thank you, Nasuh Effendi." "Show him your paintings." "For sure." "You came from Crimea." "How did you manage to come here?" "I sold everything I had." "I want to do something here." "I see." "I want to have paintings done for the palace walls." "Are you experienced in this?" "I used to work for the Church." "I've made some paintings in the ceiling, some icons too." "Icons." "Good." "Okay." "Just the one I was looking for." "Let's head to the palace, you should see the place." "Mother, you sent for me." "Get ready, Hürrem, we are going." "To where?" "Don't worry, we are going to Hatice's palace." "I wanted you to come along." "Me?" "What?" "Don't you want to come?" "I do!" "I would gladly come, Mother." "Thank you." "Get ready then." "We're leaving soon." "My sultan, Sümbül Agha is preparing Sadıka as you commanded." "When should we tell His Majesty?" "Good." "Send Sümbül, he can tell him when we are leaving." "What if His Majesty doesn't want her?" "Then he should tell him that I sent her so that there is no trouble." "Keep an eye on the kids, I am heading out." "Don't worry, I will be here." "Hürrem Sultan, are you going somewhere?" "Valide Sultan has invited me." "We are going to visit Hatice Sultan's new palace." "Valide Sultan forgave you then." "This is good." "Mother must be waiting for me." "Why are we going to the bath?" "You will get cleaned up." "You will be as clean as a whistle." "They will get you ready." "For what?" "Today is your big day." "You will be honored by His Majesty's grace." "Honored?" "You will lie with him." "But this happened so quickly, am I ready?" "We can go back if you want." "No." "I will die before I go back!" "Good." "Let's go." "Sümbül Agha?" "What happened?" "You went pale all of a sudden." "Nothing." "What is Sadıka doing here at this hour?" "The poor girl wanted to have a bath." "So I brought her here." "Just as a good deed." "Just as a good deed?" "You can go in." "Get all cleaned up." "Rub her well." "Go on." "Close it." "Gülfem Hatun?" "Where is Valide Sultan?" "Valide Sultan and Sultan Hatice took Sultan Hürrem with them and went to the palace at At Meydanı." "She and İbrahim Pasha will be staying there after the wedding." "So?" "Nobody told me about this." "Valide Sultan decided so." "This is the place." "Working here is like a dream." "Thanks." "I couldn't have done it without you." "Come in." "Your Majesty." "Speak." "Our mother went to the palace at At Meydanı with Sultan Hatice and Sultan Hürrem." "Your Majesty." "Our Valide has ordered us to prepare a concubine for you." "Is that what my mother commanded?" "Yes." "She chose the concubine." "If you allow us, we will bring her before you." "Oh my God!" "What a beauty you are!" "His Majesty will love you." "Let's go." "Is His Majesty in his chamber?" "Yes, my Pasha." "I'll be in my chamber if he asks." "I am going to feed Mihrimah." "Could you look after Mehmet, please?" "Sure." "Don't worry." "My sultan, how come they didn't invite you?" "You should have been there instead of Hürrem Hatun." "Don't remind me, Gülşah." "Now Valide Sultan is on her side, too." "She has obviously discarded me." "Yes, now I see what you mean." "Make way!" "Turn your back and don't look or you will lose your head." "Why?" "Shut up and do as I say." "Lower your head." "For Allah!" "Ariel!"
