"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalized based on history." "His Majesty wants to know how Sultan Hatice is." "There is not much change." "She has a fever and is lying half under." "I see." "Come and update us before the evening prayer." "As you command, Effendi." "Where are you off to, Hürrem Hatun?" "Get out of my way." "Stop!" "İbrahim." "Stop!" "Effendi, I told her to stop but she won't listen." "All right, let her tell us her problem." "You are not my problem." "I will tell it to Sultan Süleyman." "They took my son from me." "Who took him?" "How is that possible?" "The Valide Sultan took him." "They are lying and saying my milk is poisoned." "Hürrem Hatun, be careful what you say." "You cannot say such things about the Valide Sultan." "The physician said the milk was poisoned." "If the physician said so how are we to know better than her?" "Come on, go back to your chamber." "Didn't you understand me, hatun?" "You cannot go in." "There is a meeting going on." "You are one of them." "An alliance of evil." "What did you just say?" "What did you just say?" "You protect Mahidevran." "Throw me to the wolves." "You were behind it all." "I know it." "You sent my best friend to this chamber!" "You thought Sultan Süleyman would no longer favour me." "You started the fire." "I will not burn but you will be burned by that fire." "Take her away." "Before I do something I will regret." "Come on, Hürrem Hatun." "Come on!" "Walk!" "Chief Admiral Pulak Mustafa Agha." "You begin." "We have supplemented our shipyards with a thousand more workers." "They are working day and night to build two hundred new galleys." "Allah willing, we will be on the water by spring." "We go on campaign in June." "Prepare accordingly." "Inshallah , Your Majesty." "We have sent your edict to the governors and judges in Anatolia." "They have begun preparations for the campaign." "We are having new cannons cast, Your Majesty." "We are prioritizing the darbzen cannons." "Darbzen cannons are good, Mustafa Paşa." "But don't neglect the bacaluşka cannons." "They have good range." "The walls of the Castle of Rhodes are not like those of Belgrade." "They say they are twice as strong." "We have begun conscripting 40 thousand rowers and 20 thousand Azeb soldiers in Rumelia and Anatolia." "Good." "There is trouble in the East with Dulkadır." "What trouble could there be, Ferhat Paşa?" "You have not managed to make your peace with Dulkadır." "Your Majesty, let me explain." "Dulkadiroğlu Ali Bey is in contact with the Mamluks in Egypt." "He has been vocal about not sending us soldiers from Maraş Sivas and Elbistan for the Rhodes campaign." "In that case, Ferhat Paşa gather your men and get rid of the problem." "Bring Dulkadiroğlu to his senses." "Or bring me his head." "Come forward, Piri Reis!" "Let's have a look at your maps." "Pulak Mustafa." "He is lying." "He is causing strife among us." "Dulkadiroğlu Ali Bey is not such a man." "Ferhat Paşa has a different agenda." "Ahmet Paşa, do not speak without evidence." "Çoban Mustafa Paşa, you are to be given the rank of Effendidar ." "As of now, you are Piri Paşa's right hand." "Ferhat Paşa is going East." "You are to stay and prepare the army for war." "I am honoured, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, the infidel Louis is active again." "He is going around the palaces of Europe, saying Sultan Süleyman will not dare to return." "His tongue has gotten loose." "Tell those who brought you this news that I will rip out his tongue that the day is not far off and that I will parade him tongueless throughout the streets." "But don't forget or I will have your tongue too." "BUDA PALACE" "If there are hundreds of ships being built in Sultan Süleyman's shipyards we are not his target." "It means these ships are going to go to the Mediterranean." "I will erase Sultan Süleyman from the face of the earth." "Effendi, how are you going to do this?" "Our people are being governed by the Ottoman Governor..." "I will enter his palace and stab him through the heart." "The time has come, Victoria." "I will end your holy mourning." "Victor, get up." "We have arrived." "Are they going to pick you up here?" "Crack ten quail eggs for me too." "And give me some of that cured meat in the larder so my tummy rejoices." "Sümbül Agha, I barely collected 30 quail eggs." "We must save them for His Majesty." "There is nothing left in the larder!" "The quails aren't laying anymore." "Give over..." "What is it, Boncuk?" "Sümbül Agha, it's my day off." "I'm going to the bazaar." "Is there anything you need?" "When you are at the bazaar, go to the Bulgarian and have our goods loaded." "All right, I will handle it." "I am to see any presents you bring back from the bazaar merchants to Şeker Agha." "As you command, Sümbül Agha." "Allah!" "What presents, Sümbül Agha?" "They send small things for me to taste." "That's fine." "A taste is fine by me." "I will taste them too." "I have a heart too you know." "Allah!" "My Sultan, what is it?" "Has something happened?" "You cannot see His Majesty now." "I came to see you, İbrahim." "I don't understand." "In a minute I will send Sultan Hatice to the garden." "For her to get some air." "You come too." "Don't look at me like that, I know everything." "What do you know?" "Are you coming or not?" "Sultan Hatice is looking a bit better today." "I hope so, Daye." "I am thinking of her." "It has been many days." "She still seems pale to me." "Sultan Mahidevran is not neglecting her." "She looks after her all the time." "Maybe she is confiding in her." "Maybe she is sharing whatever is troubling her." "Let's go back." "I don't feel up to it." "Breathe in this clean air." "I have had cherry syrup prepared." "Sit here, I am going to go and get it." "I don't want any." "I don't want anything." "My Sultan." "You were trapped beneath the snow." "I couldn't get to you." "May Allah never send me another night like that." "So you saw me." "I don't remember, I must have fainted." "I am all right now." "The sun shines again today." "But I will be trapped in my chamber again." "I have heard that you are not trying to recover." "Who am I to recover for?" "For me, my Sultan." "For us." "My mother believes that Mustafa's tutor, Çelebi Mehmet is suitable." "My Sultan." "Once I am back safely from the Rhodes campaign I will find a way." "Trust me." "Don't cry." "Don't let a lifetime of tears fill this bottle." "I promise you, I will never make you cry." "I will always make you smile." "It is a great sin, Nigar Kalfa." "To separate a mother from her son." "You come and see your son whenever you like." "He is very healthy." "The wet nurse's milk has been beneficial." "A mother should give her milk." "Look, my breast is now empty." "There is no milk without my son." "What is this?" "What are these?" "Don't worry." "They are good luck charms." "It's traditional." "They bring good luck and protect the child from the evil eye." "There are prayers written inside them." "What if there are not good prayers but bad ones inside?" "How can that be?" "There are good prayers inside." "Who wrote these prayers?" "The Valide?" "A hatun wrote these prayers." "Have her write prayers for me too." "Don't you want to go?" "Should we speak to Daye Hatun?" "You haven't yet recovered." "Gülnihal, are you ready?" "Sümbül Agha, have mercy." "She is not up to going anywhere or serving anyone." "I can see that, I am not blind!" "Allah give me patience." "But what can I do?" "How can I keep her here?" "Hürrem Hatun is requesting her." "Gülnihal Hatun." "Don't do that." "Don't cry." "It burns my soul." "I promise you, I will treat your wounds." "Get up, sleepyhead!" "These goods need to be moved." "We need to be done by the noon prayer." "Come and help me carry them." "No!" "I am not going to carry them." "What do you mean you won't carry them?" "We have a lot to move." "Hurry up!" "You don't get to pick and choose." "Come on." "Gülnihal." "You have come." "I have come." "Your wounds are bad." "My wounds are on my face." "My face is now ugly." "But your heart is ugly." "Look at me." "Look." "See yourself." "Cover your face." "Don't scare the Prince." "Look here." "Are you Victor?" "I am Boncuk." "Boncuk the halberdier." "Come with me." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Where are you taking him?" "What's going on?" "What is it to you?" "He has work to do." "He has to work!" "That's enough!" "Allah!" "Hit him!" "Stop him!" "He's getting away!" "Catch him!" "We thought you had gotten lost Matrakçı!" "Thank Allah for sending you." "Where have you been?" "I became a traveller and wandered the realm, Cemal Agha." "Stay safe." "Get away!" "Brother." "We are ready for the meeting, Your Majesty." "Pargalı, is there no news from Matrakçı yet?" "Has he settled in Rhodes?" "He should have arrived by now." "I will go and see this evening." "I wonder what he will return with." "Hürrem Hatun." "Look who I have brought." "Who is it?" "The charm maker." "The hatun who writes prayers." "Show her in immediately." "Write me a prayer for happiness, health love and gold." "You want all of them?" "I must have them all." "Give me their secrets." "Do you want anything for this concubine?" "A prayer to heal her wounds?" "No, she doesn't want anything." "Write it for me." "Read the words inside to me." "They are not words, they are kalam , Hürrem Hatun." "It is hard to write kalam ." "I just write prayers." "How much gold do you want?" "Whatever you deem appropriate." "I have lots of gold." "But first, write them for me." "What do you want most?" "I have work to do." "Find me in the courtyard when you leave." "May His Majesty have eyes for no one but me." "I must be wherever he turns his eyes." "My son, Prince Mehmet is to be the Padişa." "And I the Valide Sultan." "What are you saying?" "I don't understand." "There was a kalam spoken by His Holiness Ali." "Tell me." "Greed is a fate that can only be buried by the earth." "I want the spells today." "At once." "Don't call them spells." "Don't sin." "I am going to write prayers." "You have to wait, I won't be done today." "When will I have them?" "Be patient, you will have them when they are done." "Give me back the pouch." "You can have it when I get the charm." "Don't let a lifetime of tears fill this bottle." "It will pass, my Sultan." "Your sorrow will pass." "Better days will come." "It won't pass, Gülfem." "This ache will remain in my heart until I die." "Piri Reis, your maps will be our primary guides." "I have heard that Kurdoğlu Müslihüddin Reis roams the Mediterranean with these maps as if he was in his own back yard." "You honour me, Your Majesty." "Last spring I set out from Gallipoli with my own meagre galley." "For four months I went down the coasts of the Mediterranean again." "These maps are the most recent maps." "I have made some corrections." "These are more accurate." "We should give these to Pulak Mustafa Agha." "They should be distributed to the fleet." "You have produced great works, Reis." "Thank you." "Piri Reis, I would like to be on your galley on campaign." "Teach me this art." "I now understand that without a map there is no path." "We shall see what you have understood on the way to Rhodes, Ahmet Paşa." "Ferhat Paşa." "Are you not interested in maps?" "Ferhat Paşa has focused his gaze on Maraş, Elbistan and on Dulkadiroğlu Ali, Your Majesty." "He won't easily shift his gaze to the Mediterranean." "He's focused his gaze but he hasn't finished the preparations for the march." "Your Majesty." "Hopefully I will set out this week after the Friday Parade." "Piri Paşa has only given me two thousand janissaries." "It is more than enough, Your Majesty." "We don't even know what the situation of the rebellion is." "Piri Paşa, do my words have no merit?" "Ferhat Paşa." "We have a lot to prepare for Rhodes." "That is why I assigned you two thousand warriors." "But of course I know there is no smoke without fire." "Come here, aristocrat." "Allah!" "Allah!" "What is this?" "Are the charms ready?" "I don't know." "I haven't heard." "His Majesty's eye will always look to me." "I will put them on every dress." "Every pillow, every blanket." "They will protect me from all evil." "Anyone who plots evil things against me will be confounded." "Yeah." "Piri Paşa, I have met your son, Çelebi Mehmet." "He is a well raised boy." "The path he has chosen and the future he dreams of has impressed me." "I hope he is worthy of your praise." "A bright future awaits Çelebi Mehmet, Piri Paşa." "Your Majesty, the Venetian Ambassador requests an audience." "Show him in." "Signor Mocenigo asks permission to present his gifts to you." "Slowly, carefully." "These are glass tulips from the Venetian palace." "As they don't grow in Venice, we have crafted this Ottoman flower from glass and would like to present it to you." "They are very elegant." "Delicate and fragile." "İbrahim." "Present the Ambassador some of the bulbs from the tulips in the main garden." "He can take them to his homeland." "May Ottoman tulips grow rampant throughout Venice." "Your Majesty, for many years it was forbidden to take tulip bulbs out of our lands." "There can be no ban on sharing beauty." "I have lifted the ban." "Piri Paşa, see to it." "When we go to Venice we will bring back whatever we like." "It would be a great honour to host you at the Palace of Venice." "We will prepare for your visit immediately." "I will come." "But not merely to see." "I will come to take." "Translate, İbrahim." "Apparently King Louis is vowing revenge." "He says that he will stab the Sultan in the heart." "Tell that fool if he were a flame, he would barely burn a bush." "Translate, İbrahim." "No!" "I won't hurt you!" "Don't be afraid." "You fell out of the sky right in front of me and fainted." "I brought you here to take care of you." "Then I saw that you are a woman." "Why are you dressed like a man?" "Have you committed a crime?" "No!" "Are you a runaway?" "There are many bad men." "There are." "Where's your family?" "I'll take you to them." "I have no family." "They are dead." "I have no one." "What is your name?" "Victor." "Victoria." "Victoria." "Don't be afraid, Gülnihal." "She can't do anything to you." "You do your job." "You didn't see her, Nigar Kalfa." "She spoke as if she had gone insane." "Hürrem is fixated on this charm business." "Charms won't protect Hürrem Hatun." "Only Sultan Süleyman can protect her, Gülnihal." "The hatun wanted to write a charm for me but she even prevented that." "Look." "The hatun wrote this for you." "Put this on your underwear and don't take it off." "It will protect you from all evil." "I haven't seen the Valide Sultan today." "She is resting." "Perhaps you shouldn't disturb her." "All right." "Then I will go to Sultan Hatice." "Sultan Hatice is also resting." "It would be better if you visited her later." "The entire royal family is bedridden!" "They need charms too." "What is it Daye?" "Is there good news?" "Hürrem Hatun was on her way to see you but I turned her back." "I said that you were resting." "She said she would see Sultan Hatice." "I said that she was resting too." "She said that the royal family is bedridden and that you needed charms." "You did well." "I don't feel like seeing her at all." "Hatice's state is going to kill me Daye." "I feel so sad." "It's not as if she is in love and it's causing her pain." "She doesn't see anyone." "My Sultan, perhaps she should go to the Edirne Palace or the Bursa Palace." "Perhaps a change of air would do her well." "If only..." "She should go if she wants to." "I will do whatever she wants." "Sultan Hatice." "Hürrem." "Daye Hatun said that you were resting." "She didn't want me to see you." "I was worried." "No." "I am well, mashallah ." "I know." "You are suffering because of love." "You don't know Hürrem." "No one knows." "You don't know what happened." "What happened?" "Tell me." "My mother is marrying me off." "To İbrahim?" "No." "She deemed Piri Paşa's son appropriate." "What about İbrahim?" "Who is it?" "It's me, İbrahim." "Welcome." "It is you who is welcome." "Are you not going to invite me in?" "Did you have a guest?" "I did." "But he's gone." "It seems that your guest hasn't left, Matrakçı." "It must be a cat." "Forget it." "A cat?" "Come here, pussycat." "My Sultan Süleyman is coming to see me." "Don't uncover your face." "Who is the veiled one?" "Don't you recognise her?" "It is Gülnihal, my Sultan." "Gülnihal?" "I didn't recognise her." "Why the veil?" "She has spots on her face." "Wounds." "Where is my son?" "My Mehmet, I want to see him." "The Valide took my son from me." "She gave him to a wet nurse." "Apparently my milk is poison to my son." "Gülnihal." "I want to see my son." "Tell them to bring him." "Poor Gülnihal." "Her beauty." "Her youth." "Sultan Süleyman entered her chamber." "She must be using her wiles on His Majesty." "She fell from the sky into your lap?" "Is that so?" "I see." "But how is she to stay here?" "Who will look after her?" "Apparently she has relatives." "She's here to look for them." "She can stay with them if she finds them." "We are going to Rhodes anyway." "What if she doesn't find them?" "I would hope for your help, İbrahim." "Victoria." "İbrahim is the right hand man of Sultan Süleyman." "If he can't help then no one can." "My son is fair of face like his mother." "Happy." "You are the source of our happiness, Your Majesty." "Without you, there is no happiness." "If only Sultan Hatice was happy too." "If only she smiled." "Is Hatice not well?" "I looked in on her again today." "She looked pale." "Sultan Hatice is a young and beautiful hatun." "But it's sad that her heart is empty." "She is widowed." "Soon my Hatice will smile." "She will make a good match." "What is a match?" "It means marriage." "Keep it between us." "I have a perfect groom candidate." "All right." "Don't tell me." "But does İbrahim know?" "You summoned me?" "Sümbül Agha, you are to take this boy into the harem look after him and make him well." "How can I take a young man into the harem, Effendi?" "They will cut off my head!" "It is forbidden!" "You can take him, Sümbül Agha." "Who will ever question you?" "Are you not the Agha of this harem?" "There is Daye Hatun and the Valide Sultan." "If they see him, I will lose my head!" "Please don't do it, Effendi!" "He is probably not castrated!" "He is castrated, Sümbül Agha." "Matrakçı." "Mashallah !" "It's a woman." "Mashallah ." "Your Majesty, Matrakçı Nasuh Effendi requests an audience." "Show him in." "It took you long to return from Rhodes, Matrakçı." "What have you brought me?" "Show me." "Your Majesty." "Rhodes is a very large island." "It is a well defended island." "Our fleet will be powerful at sea." "But the sappers will win us this war." "The castle is surrounded by deep trenches." "Well then..." "I am the owner of this place." "Was your name Victoria?" "Yes." "Listen." "You will do whatever I tell you to do." "There will be no bickering with the concubines, gossiping or skiving off work." "You will keep quiet so we can make you better without anything bad happening." "Let's have your arm looked at so you aren't crippled." "Come." "You summoned me, Sümbül Agha?" "I have something to entrust you with." "We need allies within the castle." "We have them, Your Majesty." "I am in contact with the Jewish physician Solomon and the knight Andre." "In addition, the group of merchants we sent there showed us where the sappers need to dig." "Our brave men set up stalls in the Rhodes bazaar for three months." "They buy and sell goods." "They have even bought properties." "Just like our Venetian ambassador." "They gather news and report." "Good." "I could almost hear your noise in the courtyard!" "Be quiet!" "Ayşe, come here." "Yes?" "Look, this is Victoria." "Get to know each other." "She will be staying with you." "I don't want her." "Find her somewhere else." "I can't take a rookie." "She will stay with you." "She will serve you." "Do you understand, Ayşe Hatun?" "She is to be your concubine." "Finally, you remembered that I am a favourite." "All right, she can stay." "Come on." "Wash up and come to my chamber nice and clean." "The time has come, Victoria." "I will end your holy mourning." "I will take my revenge." "I swear in your presence."
