"Where is the physician?" "Hurry up!" "Prepare the clean sheets and cloths." "They are here." "It's all right." "Breathe." "Hurry up, girls." "Bring cloths, quickly!" "Close the door, girls." "Don't let anyone in." "It's all right, it's over." "It's almost over." "My son!" "Save me!" "Your Majesty!" "İbrahim!" "İbrahim!" "Bring me the head of the man who did this!" "Pargalı." "Pargalı, stay with me." "Pargalı, stay with me." "Stay with me, Pargalı." "Find a physician!" "Pargalı, stay with me." "Stay with me." "Your Majesty, the dagger needs to be removed." "What if it is poisoned?" "Don't touch it, Your Majesty." "Pargalı, brace yourself." "Brace yourself, Pargalı." "Brace yourself." "Brace yourself!" "It is an Ottoman dagger that stabbed us in the back." "Allah." "Bless our Sultan Hürrem, who is in labour with happiness." "Allow her to have an easy birth, Allah." "Amen." "Bless the child who is to be born with long life." "May the child be auspicious, Allah." "Amen." "May our child be beneficial to the Empire and to Islam, the true religion." "Amen." "Daye, go and see how the birth is going." "My Sultan, are you all right?" "Hatice, what is it?" "These prayers are spoken for good." "For our souls to find peace." "And to bring blessings for those in need." "My darling daughter." "You are not yourself." "I feel like a fire has been lit inside me." "I couldn't help myself." "Please forgive me." "Wipe those tears away." "Look, we will receive the good news soon." "A prince is on his way." "The news of the birth will do us all good." "My beautiful daughter." "Deep breaths." "Hürrem Hatun, don't scream." "You need your breath." "Do as you are told." "Breathe in and out." "Mother!" "Breathe." "Take this." "Bite it." "Come on." "Has the prince been born?" "He will be born!" "Your Majesty." "What is it, Pargalı?" "Give me your blessing." "Don't speak, Pargalı." "Don't waste your strength." "The physician is coming." "You'll be fine." "Pargalı." "Pargalı, speak to me." "Pargalı!" "Pargalı!" "Where have you been?" "Hurry up." "Pargalı." "Make him better." "Your Majesty, this is Sultan Cem's dagger." "No one but a member of the royal family is allowed to use such a dagger." "So this dagger passed from Sultan Cem to his son." "Bring me Sultan Murat and his sons." "He is not coming out." "Of course he will, Hürrem Hatun." "He's not going to stay there." "He doesn't want to come out." "The prince is coming." "Push so you don't damage the baby." "One last push." "It is almost over." "He will be born." "My son will be born, won't he?" "Come on." "He will be born." "All right." "Tell me, has she given birth?" "No, she is screaming her head off." "I hope she suffocates." "Go and wait there." "But they won't let me in." "I don't care." "Bring me news." "Come on." "Hürrem, come on." "One last push." "It's almost over." "Don't faint, Hürrem Hatun." "Don't faint." "One last push." "Come on." "It's almost over." "One last push." "Hürrem, open our eyes." "Hürrem." "Hürrem Hatun." "Hürrem Hatun." "Hürrem are you all right?" "Is it a boy?" "The dagger was not poisoned, Your Majesty." "The wound is deep, but he will recover." "Mashallah." "Piri Pasha." "Summon the Grand Master." "He is to come immediately." "I will invite him at once." "Has Sultan Murat been found?" "They are searching for him." "They are turning over every stone on the island." "We will definitely find him if he hasn't escaped." "And if he has escaped, we will pry him loose from wherever he went." "Your Majesty." "Finally, Pargalı." "Your were worrying us." "Stop." "You cannot get up yet." "Chief Physician, take this man away." "He is to sleep and rest." "We were worried, Father." "We thought you were captured." "I have arranged the galley to take us away." "Let's go." "A boat is waiting at the shore." "Is this all we have?" "Father, what if we are captured?" "That won't happen." "Come on, let's go." "Do you know what an assassination attempt on Sultan Süleyman means?" "Sir, how are we at fault?" "Now Sultan Süleyman can massacre the populace of the island." "There may be executions and pillaging to sate his anger." "How will I protect my people?" "Who did this?" "The priest is just a pawn." "Get out." "Sultan Süleyman summons me to his tent." "I was expecting this." "Will he make an agreement or will he have my head?" "My son." "Where is my prince?" "Mehmet is here, look." "Did they take him from me?" "Hürrem, they are preparing the baby." "The midwife took the child." "They will be back soon." "You had a very hard birth." "Why did you let them take him?" "My son should be with me." "What did I tell you?" "Maria." "You were stupid." "I will see my son." "You lie down." "I promise to bring him." "No one can separate me from my prince." "She gave birth to a girl, my Sultan." "She had a daughter." "Allah, you heard my prayers." "Thank you." "Hand these out to the concubines." "Have them pray for us." "Nigar Kalfa, have you brought my son?" "Give him to me." "My son." "My darling." "My lion cub." "My prince." "Hürrem Hatun." "May Allah bless the baby." "You have a beautiful daughter." "What?" "But she is a beautiful girl." "Like the moon." "It cannot be." "This is not my child." "Take her." "Give me my son." "Hürrem, this is your daughter." "Don't be like that." "It is a sin." "You stole my son." "You killed my prince." "As if we would do such a thing, Hürrem Hatun." "Have you lost your mind?" "Everything is possible in this palace." "She had a daughter." "She was yelling about a boy on her way out." "What happened?" "She must be humbled." "It's good that is was a girl." "If it were a prince, nothing would stop Hürrem." "She would be a Sultan and crush us." "Gather around." "Sultan Mahidevran has sent you gold." "Look, this is what a Sultan should be like." "May Allah protect Sultan Mahidevran and Prince Mustafa." "My Sultan." "I apologise." "It wasn't a boy." "Allah gave us what we needed." "Her face is like the moon." "When news of the birth arrived I looked at the sky and thanked Allah." "I saw the moon and the sun side by side." "I will name this silk-like girl." "She will be called Mihrimah." "I hope the sun and moon light her future like her name." "I hope she is never without light." "What will His Majesty say?" "What can my lion say?" "We don't know when he will return from the campaign." "Should she remain nameless until he returns?" "Take Sultan Mihrimah and give her to her mother to suckle." "May Allah bless her with long life." "May she grow up with her parents." "Hürrem Hatun." "If you have any requests, tell us." "No." "What can I do?" "I gave birth to a girl." "Everyone leave." "I want to be alone." "Take the girl too." "But Mihrimah is hungry." "Could you not breastfeed her?" "Give her to the wet nurse." "Let her feed her." "What will I tell His Majesty?" "First of all, have the imprisoned Muslim merchants released." "Give them back their impounded ships and goods." "Compensate their losses." "As you have commanded, no citizen of Rhodes or their goods will be harmed." "People will be free to worship in churches, Your Majesty." "Piri Pasha." "We took this island at the cost of countless lives." "The soldiers will want to take their share of the spoils." "They cannot, Pasha." "No one can, as long as we don't have an agreement." "If they do, I will hold you responsible." "Your Majesty." "Why are you here, İbrahim?" "You should rest." "I will be better here, Your Majesty." "The Grand Master is waiting." "I wouldn't miss this moment." "Show him in." "Bring him." "Grand Master Villiers de L'Isle-Adam is here, Your Majesty." "Release him." "Are we going in this boat?" "This won't hold us." "We will drown, Father." "I won't go in this." "Where are we to go?" "We are going to Malta." "The galley is anchored in the other bay." "Shall we swim there?" "We are late as it is." "Hurry." "Hurry up." "I am grateful for the compassion you have shown in your terms of surrender." "Also, I thank you for your justice in defending the people of the island." "Please accept this robe as a gift from Sultan Süleyman Khan." "The island of Rhodes and the eight other islands subject to Rhodes namely, Kos, Leros, Nisiros Halki, Kalimnos, Simi, Telos and Lirnonia are now Ottoman lands." "In addition, the castle and island of Halicarnassus is no longer under the rule of the Master." "That is also Ottoman land." "Grand Master." "It is my sincere wish that a great warrior like yourself would serve the Empire." "Sultan Süleyman Khan." "As you well know war ends in either victory or defeat." "You were victorious and I was defeated." "The vanquished cannot betray his own people." "The terms of surrender delivered to you will be followed to the letter." "You and your people need not be concerned." "But I have something to request in return." "Deliver Sultan Murat and his family to me." "They have left the island." "They are not here." "They left a long time ago." "Come on, Father." "Hurry, Father." "They are coming." "Take my son." "If they ask, he is your son." "Do you understand?" "But how can that be?" "Do as I say." "I can't save him any other way." "Sultan Murat." "Sultan Süleyman Khan is waiting for you and your family." "Let go of me." "Let go of me." "You two, come ashore." "Give me that child too." "I won't." "He's my son." "You may leave the island in one week with your knights." "Will you be going to Malta?" "Yes, I think finding refuge in Malta is appropriate." "Then Sultan Murat is there." "Will the dynasty members now conduct their treachery from there?" "Your Majesty, we captured Sultan Murat and his sons while he was escaping." "Bring them here." "Sultan Murat." "Is this how we were to meet?" "Were you to live as a fugitive?" "Was I to find that you were a traitor who attempted to take my life?" "I didn't want to see you." "I was brought here by force." "I didn't try to take your life." "Don't lie and lower yourself further." "Piri Pasha, send the Grand Master away." "We must be alone." "This is a family matter." "I wouldn't want any witnesses." "This is the dagger of the Ottoman dynasty." "This is your father, Sultan Cem's dagger." "Instead of carrying this dagger with honour you handed it to infidels for them to kill me." "You betrayed the dynasty." "I would have died a martyr at prayer." "But you will be remembered as a traitor for a generation." "The real traitors are the ones who disregarded my father, Cem Sultan the ones who exiled him and the ones who tormented my family." "If only you had died fighting with honour instead of embarrassing your family in front of infidels." "Sir, they captured my husband, Sultan Murat, and sons and took them to Sultan Süleyman." "I only managed to save my youngest son." "We are alone and undefended." "I must protect my son." "Please hide us." "You cannot remain here, it is too dangerous." "Take them somewhere safe." "I will get you out of here at an appropriate time and send you to the Vatican." "Even I cannot protect you now." "You will return to the capital with me." "You will be where you belong and justice will be satisfied." "But there is something I want to know." "You are still a Muslim, aren't you?" "I am a Christian." "Moreover, I am a true believer." "And you?" "We believe in our Holy Father." "In Holy Jesus." "Take these infidels out of my sight." "Pargalı." "Go inside and tell them that Piri Pasha is to exercise my will immediately." "Sultan Mihrimah misses her mother." "She asks if her mother doesn't love her." "Look how beautiful she is." "Come on." "I will leave mother and daughter alone." "I have work to do." "My daughter." "You will have no one to rely on except for your mother." "You are a part of me." "But what can we do?" "There is no life in this palace if you are not a man." "Your mother will love you." "She will love you very much." "Mihrimah." "I hope your father will love you too." "Your nose looks like your mother's nose." "My darling." "What is this lokma at this late hour?" "Who sent it?" "Sultan Mahidevran had promised a sacrifice." "The lokma and the gift are her offerings." "Enjoy." "This lokma is for Hürrem Hatun's daughter." "Gold in the afternoon and lokma in the evening." "What will she send at night?" "They will send Sümbül Agha." "Enjoy." "My Lord Jesus, forgive me." "I became a Muslim for my homeland, to take revenge for my family." "My heart and my soul still serve you." "I am your loyal servant, Viktoria." "I have lied." "Forgive me." "Nigar Kalfa, come and see what I have to show you." "I can't, Ayşe." "I have a lot of work to do." "Please come." "This girl was praying in secret with a cross." "She is a liar." "Are you Sadıka or Viktoria?" "Tell me." "I am Sadıka of course, Nigar Kalfa." "Is Ayşe Hatun lying?" "She says she saw you praying with a cross." "I just..." "I picked this up to hand it in to you." "I am a Muslim." "Liar." "She is lying." "Don't believe her, Nigar Kalfa." "That's enough." "You are giving me a headache." "Give me that cross." "Mind your own business." "Let it end here." "Has Nigar sent my letter?" "Have you asked?" "She said it was sent a while ago." "You will almost be receiving an answer." "Good." "What is on that plate?" "Lokma ." "Do you want some?" "The concubines were handing it out so I took some." "Why did they hand out lokma?" "I don't know." "They just did." "I know why." "That woman is behind it." "Mahidevran did it." "Because I gave birth to a girl." "Throw away that plate." "I have spoilt my diet." "The lokma is delicious." "It was a good idea, Mahidevran." "I had it distributed in the harem to sweeten our tongues." "Mother, when will I see my sister?" "My Mustafa." "If only you could see her." "You have such a beautiful sister." "She is like the moon." "I named her." "What is her name?" "Mihrimah." "The meeting of the moon and the sun." "May she bring happiness." "May she bring peace." "Inshallah." "I will take you tomorrow." "You can see your sister." "You can hang a prayer." "Are we three siblings now, Mother?" "Yes." "You are three siblings for now, my darling." "Your Majesty." "The preparations for our return are progressing rapidly." "We'll be done soon." "Don't tire yourself out." "How are you?" "Is there any pain?" "Do not be concerned." "I am fine." "I will be outside if you need anything." "I need nothing but your recovery." "If you have anything you need you need but voice it." "Of course, I owe you another life." "You owe me nothing, Your Majesty." "It is my duty." "Tell me." "How can I repay you?" "It is enough that you do not take my life." "You are my friend my comrade, Pargalı." "I will not commit fratricide." "My Concierge." "A letter has arrived from the capital for His Majesty." "Is there no other letter?" "There is one for you too, sir." "All right." "Pargalı." "Is there news?" "There is a letter for you, Your Majesty." "What is that?" "Is that for me too?" "It is a document from the treasurer." "Please take it if you wish to examine it." "My Sultan, my life." "My Sultan, the apple of my eye." "Not a night passes that the world doesn't burn from a spark of the fire of my grief." "Not a morning passes that the skies are not torn by my cries of longing for your beautiful face." "Your Prince Mehmet kisses your blessed hands with longing and respect." "He now has five teeth." "Your other prince is kicking in my tummy." "He is impatient." "If you ask about your desperate, poor concubine I swear, my love my nights are not my own and neither are my days." "The hardest part is the loneliness." "Dreaming of you jumping out from behind a tree in the garden." "Then being embarrassed of the dream." "Holding on to a tiny drop of hope and crossing the seas with that hope to find sanctuary by your side." "Never to return." "To begin again on that island." "Without rules." "Without restrictions." "The rose in love with the nightingale in the gardens of heaven." "And the nightingale in love with the rose." "My love, the apple of my eye, my salvation in both worlds." "Your are my happiness in this life." "My feelings cannot be expressed with words or written down with a pen." "If the seas were ink and the trees were pens they would come to life and pray to Allah to unite his lovestruck servants, when writing the pain of our parting." "Oh, my darling Sultan." "I entrust you to almighty Allah." "I eagerly await your news." "Don't hide it, Pargalı, I saw the tears in your eye." "I once cried for a woman." "I cried a river of tears." "Down passed the At Square and the Et Square all the way towards Hagia Sophia." "Stop your tears, Matrakçı." "They will assault the palace." "I will, now that you have smiled." "I will have a fountain built there so passing lovers can drink from it." "Like this." "Excuse me, the Valide Sultan sent me to collect the prince." "Wait a little, we are almost finished." "Sadıka, wait, wait." "My Hodja, are you all right?" "Let's go and find a physician."
