"I couldn't breathe." "I couldn't breathe." "Are you all right now?" "Come and sit here, if you wish." "Come on." "I've been the same since the evening." "I feel like my heart is constricted." "Gülfem, go and get Daye." "Have her come and pray for us." "It will do us good." "Effendi." "We have sunk 17 Ottoman ships." "I believe Sultan Süleyman's ship was one of them." "We will know for sure in daylight." "This sea will be the Ottomans' grave." "My beautiful daughter, I feel so sad for you." "It is beautiful." "Bless your hands." "Yours too, Gülfem." "My Sultan, Ferhat Paşa is awaiting an audience with you in the main chamber." "He must have brought news of Süleyman." "I mustn't keep him waiting." "Allah." "I hope it is good news." "Inshallah." "My Valide Sultan." "Tell me, Ferhat Paşa, how is my lion?" "Is the war over?" "Have we taken Rhodes?" "Your Highness we have received some news that is yet unconfirmed." "They say that His Majesty's galley has sunk." "How is my son?" "Speak, Ferhat Paşa." "Tell me." "What has happened to my lion?" "He may have passed away." "Is it true?" "Is it true?" "Your absence is a fire." "It has consumed me." "I am ill." "I am defenceless." "Your voice your love and compassion and your love is all that can cure me." "Without you I am as good as dead in your palace." "Hürrem Hatun." "Don't call for Nigar, she has work to do." "You look pale." "What is it?" "Sümbül Agha, are you all right?" "His Majesty's galley has sunk." "Allah save us." "He has died." "No." "No." "Süleyman." "I miss my father." "Why are we here?" "He might be angry that we entered his room in his absence." "Allah, bless me with my child." "Give me the strength to endure." "Aid my young prince on the path to the throne." "Hürrem." "Without Süleyman there is no Hürrem." "There is no life." "How will I endure this pain?" "Which one should I suffer for?" "My brother." "İbrahim." "The news is unconfirmed." "My Sultan, please stay calm." "What will happen to us?" "My son, Mustafa is all alone in this world." "My prince is still so young." "How can he carry such a burden?" "No crying." "I forbid it." "Why have you accepted it so quickly?" "Sultan Süleyman is not dead." "He is alive." "I know it." "My heart knows it." "Hürrem Hatun." "Hürrem Hatun." "I witnessed once again that His Majesty is Allah's cherished subject during the siege of Rhodes." "In the raid that came suddenly in the dead of night his galley was hit." "He barely escaped." "He returned to Marmaris, to his command tent." "But he returned in such a way that he almost summoned a storm." "Your battle plans have failed, Piri Paşa." "Draw up the butcher's bill as of today." "How many of our galleys and seamen are at the bottom of the sea?" "Your Majesty." "I beseech you to dismiss me from this high office." "Your Majesty." "By your leave, I have something to discuss." "Isn't the one person responsible for the battle formation Sirdar, Ekrem Çoban Mustafa Paşa?" "This is his plan." "Get out." "Leave me alone with Piri Paşa." "Piri Paşa." "How can you be offended at such words and return your seal in battle?" "It does not befit your position or experience." "My concern is not personal." "It is for the good of the Empire." "It is to achieve flawless victory." "I am demoting Sirdar Çoban Mustafa Paşa." "Convey my will." "Have him cross to Anatolia and wait." "Your Majetsy" "This must end today, Piri Paşa." "Let us not speak but do our jobs." "Summon Ahmet Paşa." "Ahmet Paşa." "You are my second vizier." "Ahmet Paşa." "You are promoted to the rank of Sirdar." "Return to Rhodes and take command of our forces." "I would like to say that I will try with all my strength to be worthy of this honourable position." "I hope so." "I didn't upset you." "Did father upset you?" "No." "My father told me that we upset women and then they cry." "My Sultan." "Don't disturb us." "Forgive me." "A messenger has arrived." "Ferhat Paşa requests an audience." "Mustafa, go out on the terrace." "Tell him I am waiting for him." "Allah." "I beg you." "May it be good news, Allah." "Give me back my child." "Hürrem." "Hürrem, what happened?" "She's fine." "Hürrem, open your eyes." "She suddenly fell and fainted." "I will wait at the door." "Sümbül Agha." "She is bleeding." "She will lose the baby." "Allah forbid such a thing from happening." "Come on." "Let's find the physician." "Hurry." "Come on." "Come on, come on." "My Valide Sultan." "Ferhat Paşa." "If you are about to tell us of disaster, please don't." "Turn around and leave me to my pain." "The messenger came from the Marmaris encampment." "The letter bears Piri Paşa's seal." "Forget the seal, Paşa." "Tell me if my son is alive." "It says that His Majesty is marching to victory." "Thank Allah." "I must share this news with my family immediately." "Announce it to the capital, to friend and foe alike." "Sultan Süleyman marches to victory." "Is Hürrem Hatun all right?" "Has the physician examined her?" "She is bleeding." "They say she will lose the baby." "Allah, what a horrible day." "My lion is alive." "You are the first to hear the good news." "The Paşas?" "İbrahim?" "Everyone is all right?" "Yes." "I read Piri Paşa's letter." "Daye, inform Hürrem Hatun of the good news so she can relax." "She fainted from despair." "She has started bleeding." "Oh, no." "That would be terrible." "Come on, Daye." "Will they send us?" "Where would we go?" "To the old palace." "Who will ascend the throne?" "Prince Mustafa will take the throne." "He is still a child, but the Valide Sultan will look after him." "Is it true, Nigar Kalfa?" "Will young Mustafa take the throne?" "How can you say that?" "Sultan Süleyman Khan is alive." "Soon he will return victorious, you will see." "Is the child all right, physician?" "Yes, Your Highness, the bleeding has stopped." "Don't worry, Hürrem, the good news has arrived." "His Majesty is alive." "I knew it." "I told them so." "I said that he wouldn't die." "He promised he wouldn't leave me." "He said no death." "Thank Allah." "Allah is great." "Your Majesty, I wanted to be the one to tell you the good news." "We have taken the islands of Helki and Nisiros." "The messengers have just arrived." "The sappers have gone to Rhodes." "Thank Allah." "The wind has turned in our favour, Pargalı." "Congratulate my seamen." "Make them happy." "We have taken the islands of Helki and Nisiros, which are neighbours of Rhodes." "We proudly raised our banners on the castles' walls." "It was the sappers' victory." "The sappers have now begun digging to reach the walls of the Castle of Rhodes." "A very important Venetian engineer has come to the Castle of Rhodes." "Gabriel Marteningo, I try, but I cannot understand what you are trying to do." "You will understand soon." "Wait." "It is said that this man called Marteningo is a great inventor who was engaged in, and won sappers' battles in Europe." "Place them further apart." "Yes, that's it." "Lay sand down." "Put more down." "Start digging here immediately." "The only way to take the castle is with sappers." "We will destroy the Ottoman sappers in the tunnel they dig." "Now that I have good news from my lion, it is as if the world is mine." "Thank Allah, my Valide." "The girl turned out to be hardworking." "She is as graceful as she is beautiful." "She is respectful too when she is composed." "Viktoria." "Make sure this girl becomes a Muslim with Sümbül." "I am giving her her name now." "I have it." "I have given you this name for your loyalty." "It is to be Sadıka." "Sadıka, come." "The Valide Sultan has named you." "My Sultan, I am overjoyed." "His Majesty has not forgiven me." "Look, I have written a letter but received no reply." "He is angry with me." "He doesn't forget." "He is punishing me." "Pity us." "His Majesty is at war." "How is he to think of your letter?" "Don't worry about such things." "Be at peace." "I can't, Nigar Kalfa." "Please." "Let's write another letter." "Calm down, my son." "Sleep." "Viktoria, you will go hungry." "There is no food left." "You are late." "Ayşe Hatun." "Her name is now Sadıka." "From now on you are to call her Sadıka." "Have you become a Muslim?" "Allah give me patience." "You ask too many questions." "Mind your own business." "Sadıka." "Go to the Valide Sultan's chamber again and kiss her hand." "All right." "Good evening." "Good evening." "How many months has it been, Your Majesty?" "How much more will we be digging this infidel castle?" "Are the sappers working slowly?" "The infidels are saying that they sank His Majesty's galley and that they scared you off." "Don't put such words in your basket, Ali Hodja." "They are weighing you down." "Those infidels will soon see the Ottoman banner above their castle." "Then they will understand." "Patience, Ali Hodja." "A wrestler is not someone who defeats everyone." "A wrestler is one who can restrain oneself when enraged." "This is what our prophet commanded." "Your Majesty." "Ferhat Paşa has taken Dulkadiroğlu Ali Bey's traitorous head..." "...and has returned to the capital." "Good." "And we have heard that the grand master is begging for help." "No one can help him now." "The siege has tightened." "Ships have gone from Venice to Cyprus." "Obviously Venice is afraid that we will take Cyprus too." "Let them be afraid." "Fear is good." "Çoban Mustafa Paşa is to set out immediately." "He is to go to Egypt." "He's to defend our position in Damascus, Egypt and Aleppo." "Egypt must be secured." "As you command." "Your Majesty, Piri Paşa and Ahmet Paşa's galleys have entered the bay and are dropping anchor." "They should be here soon." "Good." "The infidels are worried." "There will be no sleep in the Castle of Rhodes." "Effendi, Sultan Murat, son of Sultan Cem has arrived." "Send him in immediately." "Sultan Murat, I sent word to you twice." "Why are you late?" "I was ill and bedridden." "The Ottoman fleet has boxed us in." "We cannot leave the castle." "Sultan Süleyman will come after you before me when they arrive." "He will want to take you back." "This is where I belong." "I will not trust a sultanate that exiled and destroyed my father." "I have a family and a life here." "I can send you to Malta temporarily." "The fishermen can steal you away from one of the rear coves at night." "We have dug all the way through under the Castle of Rhodes, Your Majesty." "We have been digging tunnels for days." "We are closer to coming up under the castle." "I supervised the digging last night in the tunnel with Ahmet Paşa." "The infidel Rhodians are digging to stop us, Your Majesty." "They are planting gunpowder in our path." "But our brave men are making false noises to distract them and are digging in the opposite direction." "When will we attack?" "I am tired of waiting." "I am having mobile ladders made for those castle walls." "I will place such men on those ladders that fire, gunpowder or boiling oil will prove insufficient." "What sort of an invention is that, Your Majesty?" "Aren't they mortal men?" "You say your prayers, Ali Hodja." "Tomorrow night you will see what sort of men they are." "Inshallah, tomorrow night at this hour we will be in the castle." "Have our men burn goose feathers and throw them when they get close to the enemy in the tunnels." "They are to run, close the hole and wait." "What will goose feathers do to them, Your Majesty?" "The smoke spreads poison, Paşa." "It will restrict breathing." "They will be left breathless and floundering there." "You cannot guess how many lairs I've entered thanks to those feathers." "If we were to go in at night and dig and light up the goose feathers...." "İbrahim, come, I need to be there." "They need men to dig, Matrakçı, not men to hold a pen." "Ayşe Hatun, where is Nigar Kalfa?" "Can you find her for me?" "Go and find her yourself." "Why are you asking me?" "How dare you speak to a Sultan like that." "What Sultan?" "Who made you a Sultan?" "Ayşe, remember your manners." "Am I lying?" "How can there be a Sultan who is constantly bashed about and who is always punished?" "There is one Sultan in this palace." "And that is Sultan Mahidevran." "Our noble and beautiful Sultan." "Ayşe Hatun, how dare you speak like that?" "You are speaking to the mother of a prince." "You will be respectful." "Kalfa, you don't know" "Shut up." "Don't answer back." "I heard what you said." "I'm not only speaking to you." "I am speaking to all you girls." "I won't forgive anyone who forgets their manners." "Let's go, Nigar Kalfa." "Come with me." "Thank you, Nigar Kalfa." "You are a good person." "You protected me." "It is my duty to protect you." "Don't you like me?" "Is it just duty?" "Oh, my God." "All right, I do." "Why do they treat me badly?" "They are nice to Mahidevran but nasty to me." "Why is there no love or respect?" "You treat them badly too." "These things go both ways, Hürrem Hatun." "Why were you looking for me?" "We were going to write a letter." "His Majesty is waiting for my letter." "You have made me your scribe." "Please, let's write it." "Come on." "All right, let's do it." "But this is the last time." "My Sultan." "Hürrem Hatun was arguing with the concubines in the courtyard." "Come and put this on for me." "What was the problem?" "She was demanding the same respect they show you." "But Ayşe Hatun gave a good answer." ""Who are you to be a Sultan?"" "She said that she was not even equal to Sultan Mahidevran's fingernail." "Then Nigar Kalfa came." "She shut them all up and told them off." "She is like Hürrem Hatun's shadow." "It's as if she is her mentor." "Summon the Kalfa." "Sadıka, clear away the table." "I don't want anything." "My Sultan, my life." "My day is as dark as night." "Oh fire of longing." "Being apart...." "Where do you get these words from?" "I don't find them." "Love makes me say them." "Mashallah." "What is it?" "Why are you here?" "I am not here for you, Hürrem Hatun." "Sultan Mahidevran is calling Nigar Kalfa." "Has something happened?" "She cannot go." "She has work to do for me." "Hürrem Hatun, I should go." "It may be important." "You shall not go." "I will come back." "Wait and we will write it later." "What are you doing here at this time of day?" "I am making my bed." "Don't you need to be with the Valide Sultan?" "She is resting." "She told me to change my clothes." "Nigar Kalfa." "How many years have you been in the harem?" "It must be six years, my Sultan." "You have been here for many years." "And you know the rules well." "But you haven't been yourself lately." "Have I done something wrong?" "How can you compare an upstart concubine with a Sultan." "I would never, my Sultan." "No such thing has happened in your presence." "But Hürrem Hatun is the mother of a prince." "And she is now pregnant." "It is our duty to protect her and the baby in her tummy." "Choose well who you will protect and to whom you will show respect, Nigar Kalfa." "Choose well so nothing bad happens to you." "You may retire." "Look here." "I will rip your tongue out and throw it to the dogs." "Why are you telling tales?" "I will destroy you." "I will tell Pargalı that you are that poor girl's murderer." "I don't tell tales." "I don't know anything about that." "Did the doves in the courtyard tell her what happened today?" "There are so many birds in the harem, Kalfa." "Get lost." "Get lost." "Don't let me see you." "Nigar." "What is going on here?" "Don't ask, Sümbül Agha." "I am caught between two fires." "Hürrem Hatun and Sultan Mahidevran are pulling me apart." "One of them says sit, the other, don't sit." "What am I to do?" "I have had enough." "Tell me what to do, Sümbül Agha." "You are intelligent." "You know which is the morning sun and which is the evening sun." "Determine your direction accordingly." "İbrahim, come back." "I can't bear it anymore." "Send me a sign." "I need it so much." "I will return, my Sultan." "I will return safely." "I promised you." "We have been fighting for months." "Your hearts are protected by faith and your chests by belief in our victory." "I have sworn a vow for this jihad." "If I cannot fulfil my vow my throne, my life and my entire Ottoman Empire shall be rightfully forfeit." "My life shall be forfeit." "May Allah bless our cause..." "...and may our swords be sharp." "Amen." "His Majesty has devised such an invention that the infidel soldiers came face to face with an army that walked on air to the castle at night." "They are coming." "Effendi, the Ottomans are attacking in a way we have never seen before." "They have made moving towers." "The soldiers are pulling them to the castle." "You will lose the battle if this carries on." "Was support not to arrive from Venice and Spain?" "It is not coming." "It cannot come." "We are under siege." "When our sappers who dug under the castle came across the tunnel dug by the infidels they made an incredible manoeuvre." "They burnt the goose feathers." "Smoke was everywhere." "The enemy breathed poison instead of air." "All knights of Latin origin are to vacate the city and island of Rhodes within 10 days." "They are free to go where they please." "They may take their weapons with them." "All who wish to remain in Rhodes will be exempt from tax for five years." "No son of Rhodes will ever be conscripted into the janissary corps." "Christian services will be allowed to continue." "No one will be sent off the island against their will." "The knights and their retinues will be assigned ships to take them to the island of Crete." "Both sides are to keep hostages until the conditions of this agreement are fulfilled." "By giving his word, Sultan Süleyman swears that he will abide by this agreement forever, in accordance with the traditions of his ancestors and the laws of the Empire with no ill will or falseness." "Sultan Murat, we have lost." "My knights and I will no longer resist." "I don't want any more men to die." "You still have a chance to escape." "Go." "I will not run." "But I will not surrender." "What will you do then?" "Leave me, protect my sons." "Find the young priest, Paul, at the church." "Give this to him." "Do you understand?" "I understand." "Ali Hodja." "You always dreamed of praying here." "Here we are." "The prince is coming." "Come on." "Come quickly, come on." "Allah is great." "Make way." "His Majesty Sultan Süleyman Khan." "The Prince is coming!" "My son is coming!" "What will you do if it's a girl?" "It will be a son." "Allah, may this be auspicious." "Amen." "May she find relief quickly." "Amen." "May our prince be blessed." "Amen." "I thank Allah who allowed us to pray here." "Allah is great." "Rhodes has fallen." "Allah is great." "Allah is great." "Allah is great." "Allah is great." "Allah is great." "Allah is great."
