"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalised based on history." "Hang on, Hürrem!" "Not long now!" "Enough!" "Bring a clean cloth!" "Hurry!" "Süleyman!" "Süleyman!" "I need to see Concierge İbrahim." "Open the door." "I cannot, my Agha." "They are resting." "If I don't tell them the news I'll lose my head!" "Knock!" "Stop yelling, Sümbül Agha." "His Majesty will hear." "Hürrem Hatun is in labour, Effendi!" "Isn't the birth early, Daye?" "What if my grandchild is not healthy?" "Allah forbid, my sultan." "The birth is going well." "Don't worry." "Not much left!" "Push it out!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Push!" "Push!" "Oh, no." "His naval cord is entangled." "Is it a boy?" "Is it a boy?" "Tell me!" "Is it a boy?" "Tell me!" "Gülnihal Hatun." "Go on, Hürrem Hatun is in labour." "May I enter, Your Majesty?" "Come in, Pargalı." "The birth has begun." "Hürrem Hatun is in labour." "Good." "I will get dressed and come." "Why are you not giving it to me?" "Is it a boy?" "Is my boy dead?" "Give me my child!" "Don't touch him!" "Thank Allah, the prince is a lovely child!" "A prince?" "A son?" "Is it a boy?" "Great news, my sultan!" "We have a beautiful baby prince!" "How about his health?" "Hürrem Hatun is well, just a bit tired." "I wasn't asking about Hürrem, tell me how the prince is." "It was a difficult birth, my sultan." "His naval cord was entangled, I barely saved the prince." "Where is my son the prince?" "Give him to me." "Not now." "Go and prepare my prince, and bring him straight back." "My sultan." "Tell me, has the Russian slave given birth?" "Yes, she has given birth to a son." "The prince" "All right, you may retire." "Go away and leave me alone!" "Mother, where are you?" "I am here, Mustafa." "I am here, my darling boy." "Don't be afraid, I am with you." "You are my prince." "You are the real prince." "One day you will rule the realm." "Mother, I am thirsty." "Mother." "My lion has had a lion cub." "Congratulations!" "How is he?" "It was a difficult birth, but the prince is healthy." "Süleyman." "Where were you?" "I called out to you." "I begged." "You didn't hear me." "I was left alone." "I am here now." "My son isn't here." "They didn't give me my son." "Have they hidden him?" "My mother said he was healthy." "The Valide took my son from me." "I couldn't even smell him." "Mother, did you hear that?" "Have them bring the child if he is ready." "Sultan Mahidevran." "The royal family is in Hürrem Hatun's chamber." "The Valide is expecting you too." "For the celebration" "What am I to celebrate, Daye Hatun?" "Am I to celebrate with the Russian slave while I am grieving with my son?" "As you wish, my sultan." "I am just the messenger." "Don't shoot the messenger." "Your name is Mehmet." "Your name is Mehmet." "Your name is Mehmet." "Here you go, Hürrem Hatun." "Is Mahidevran not coming?" "She refused to come, my sultan." "May Allah make him righteous." "Amen." "Amen." "May Allah make him happy." "Amen." "Amen." "May Allah bless the Empire with his rule." "Amen." "Mehmet is a beautiful little boy." "May Allah bless him with long life." "Gülfem, did you see that?" "I did." "Mashallah ." "Have lohusa sharbat prepared." "Have gold and lokma distributed in the name of Prince Mehmet." "Everything must be perfect, Daye." "Spare no expense." "As you command, my sultan." "Thank you for not refusing me and coming, Mahidevran." "It befits your status as the Haseki sultan." "You have given me a son and made me very happy." "I will give you more sons, Your Majesty." "Whatever you wish." "Love me, don't leave me." "She was complaining to my lion saying she gave birth alone and nobody was there." "Hürrem's childish whims will never end." "Is she telling the truth?" "Was nobody with her?" "Nigar Kalfa helped her." "She found her in the corridor." "Didn't you send for her best friend?" "What was her name?" "The one from Crimea?" "Gülnihal, my sultan." "She was with her until the last moment." "But last night...." "Where have you been?" "You were not supposed to leave Hürrem Hatun." "She was left all alone." "Where the hell were you?" "Valide Sultan, she is not at fault." "His Majesty summoned her to the private chamber." "Does Hürrem know?" "She doesn't know." "If she did, she would kill her." "Pargalı commanded Sümbül Agha." "İbrahim." "Concierge İbrahim." "You crafty man." "It seems he hates Hürrem too." "Speak to no one." "Keep your mouth shut." "Especially to Hürrem Hatun." "Seal your lips." "Do you understand?" "Not a word." "Has Hürrem Hatun given birth?" "Is it a boy or a girl, Sümbül Agha?" "What's it to you?" "Go and clean your rooms." "What are you doing here at this time of night?" "Gülnihal, you tell me, is it a boy or a girl?" "Hürrem Hatun was screaming for you." "You are still speaking." "What did I just say?" "Go on!" "Mind your own business!" "Where did Gülnihal come from so early?" "What was she doing with Sümbül?" "She must have had a reason." "She is Sümbül's new favourite." "Don't go." "Don't leave us." "Stay a while with my son." "It's morning." "Sleep and rest." "I have matters to attend to, but I'll come in the evening." "Gülnihal." "Are you finally here?" "I looked for you all night." "What would you have done if I was dying?" "You are nowhere to be seen." "Look at my son." "Prince Mehmet." "Come and look." "Hürrem Hatun." "Congratulations." "May Allah bless Prince Mehmet with long life." "Gülnihal, now that you have come I entrust the prince to you." "Now I can sleep." "It was a hard birth." "I am so sleepy." "I named him Mehmet." "Now it's your turn, Pargalı." "I hope Allah blesses you with a son." "Inshallah , Your Majesty, inshallah ." "What's that?" "I see that you are very enthusiastic, Pargalı." "So we need to get you married at once." "Let's pick a beautiful concubine from the harem for you." "You are embarrassing me, Your Majesty." "When can I see my prince?" "You will see him soon, Pargalı." "I hope Mehmet is a conqueror like his grandfather and he expands our borders." "I hope that he is remembered as a great Padişa." "I'm sure that Mustafa will also be a great Padişa, Your Majesty." "If I had 10 other princes I know that you would still favour Mustafa." "Let's wait and see." "We cannot know who Allah will bless with longevity." "Of course." "We must not forget that you decide how long they live." "Mehmet, my son!" "Hürrem?" "Hürrem, what is it?" "My son is missing!" "She killed my son!" "That woman killed him!" "The midwife took Mehmet!" "Calm down, Mehmet is all right." "How could you let her take him?" "I gave him to you!" "Now he is gone!" "Murderers!" "Hürrem!" "Hürrem!" "My son!" "My son!" "My son is missing!" "My son is missing!" "Hürrem!" "Prince Mehmet!" "Where are you?" "Return to your room, Hürrem Hatun!" "You are disgracing us!" "You are the disgrace." "You stole my son!" "Go." "Hürrem, I said go!" "Don't you dare give me orders!" "Who do you think you are?" "You can't give me orders." "I am the mother of a prince!" "I am Sultan Hürrem!" "Take me to my son!" "My sultan, has something happened?" "What more could happen, İbrahim?" "That snake woman gave birth." "And it was a boy who will be Mustafa's rival." "Nothing will take her down now." "My sultan, has Hürrem been disrespectful?" "I know that she will do so." "Help us, İbrahim." "You promised me." "You need to stop her." "I saw her eyes this morning." "Her grudge burned like flames behind her eyes." "She will burn us with those flames." "My sultan, calm down." "Calm down." "I will keep my promise." "Soon she will bow before you and pay homage." "Come on now, go." "Stay positive." "His Majesty awaits me." "I'm going." "What were you doing outside my door, İbrahim?" "There is news from the harem, Your Majesty." "The prince is well." "Good." "Come." "Look at Piri Reis' map of Rhodes." "This will be our guide." "We have nothing else we can use." "But I want to know this island like the palm of my hand." "I want to know its castle, its tunnels its bazaar and its church." "I want to know everything, Pargalı." "Do you understand?" "We could send someone to Rhodes who will paint it as if it were our home." "We will send him among the people." "I know who the best man to send is, Your Majesty." "Matrakçi can do it." "Yes." "I like how you think, Pargalı." "Don't forget, you use that mind only for me." "Is my grandson healthy, midwife?" "He is as healthy as a little lion cub." " Mashallah ." "Daye Hatun, have you prepared what I told you to prepare?" "We have, my sultan." "We'll distribute them this afternoon." "Where is my son?" "You stole him from me!" "Come to your senses, Hürrem." "How dare you?" "Who do you think you are shouting at?" "My son, my prince." "Your mother is here." "No one can steal you now." "Nigar, take my grandson from the hands of this fool." "My Valide." "Please, don't take my son from me." "I was confused when I couldn't see him." "Forgive me." "Mehmet is not only your son." "He is a representative of the Ottoman bloodline." "He is a part of the dynasty." "He is too precious to be left in the hands of a concubine." "This child will be cared for and brought up in the best possible way." "Don't cry like a little village girl." "Take her away." "Leave Mehmet here." "She is not intelligent enough to entrust with a child." "For a thousand years, in the Greek palace when a new child was born to the dynasty just like our new prince...." "Yes?" "When such a child was born they'd make sharbat in cauldrons outside the palace and give it to the people." "The bells of Hagia Sophia would ring nonstop." "So, what do you think the Romans called this sharbat ?" "What did they call it Matrakçi Effendi?" "Lohusa ." "They called it lohusa ." "That's what we call it!" "Lohusa ." "Why are you surprised, Seker Agha?" "You mean that we are continuing an infidel tradition?" "It's a sin." "Truly it is a sin." "There is no sin, Seker Agha." "One who drinks it will pray for the prince and it's these prayers that protect children." "For Allah's sake...." "You have become an ulema since we last met, Matrakçi." "Welcome, my friend." "Tell me the latest news from the palace." "I asked Seker Agha, but he is beating about the bush." "It is not my place to speak of the harem, Effendi." "I am just a lowly cook." "I came out for shopping and am returning now." "Load the sacks on the cart quickly!" "We are late." "The palace awaits the lohusa sharbat ." "Let's go for a walk, Matrakçi." "I have things to tell you." "As you command, concierge." "But please, let's walk around areas that I know." "All right, then, lead on." "Please follow me." "Be quiet and listen!" "Her Excellency Valide Sultan Hafsa has been generous enough to distribute gold in honour of her grandson, Prince Mehmet." "Slow down." "Don't forget your manners and your elegance." "Finally something good has come of Hürrem." "Drink, my lion son." "If it wasn't feeding time they wouldn't bring you to me." "Drink a lot." "Cry a lot when I am not there." "They can't take you from me." "Drink and grow fast, my prince." "You will rule this court." "You will become the Padişa." "You will own the world." "You will be a king and me a queen." "Hürrem." "I...." "I...." "Last night...." "Yes?" "What?" "I brought the prince's mother of pearl cradle." "My son has a mother of pearl bed." "Like a throne." "Mother, look!" "They gave me gold." "A prince has been born." "Yes, Mustafa." "Another prince has been born." "Am I no longer a prince?" "Is Father angry with me?" "No, Mustafa." "Your father would never be angry with you." "You are the first prince." "You will always be so." "You will be the Padişa." "İbrahim promised me." "Come, paşas." "I am working on the Rhodes campaign." "Take a look at Piri Reis' map." "Rhodes shines like a jewel in the middle of the sea." "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Rhodes." "It was sent by the Grand Master." ""I received your letter in which you wrote that you are thinking of me." "The fact that you are thinking of me does not disturb me." "Because I am thinking of you too."" "You speak of the victory at Belgrade Aghain." "And you say that it will not suffice and that you hope to win another great victory." "In fact, you promise yourself that you will and declare it before the war even begins." ""I hope that you don't disappoint yourself."" "How are you to know of my dreams, you fool?" "Inshallah you have a child too." "Amen." "I can help you if you like." "What help?" "What help?" "Help with İbrahim." "Don't lie to me." "You know it too." "Is this the prince?" "He is your brother." "Prince Mehmet." "Hatice." "Will my father still love me?" "How can you ask that, Mustafa?" "Of course he will." "You are the apple of your father's eye." "You have a special place in his heart." "Look, he is still so tiny." "Look how sweet he is." "We pray for the health of Prince Mehmet, born of Hürrem Hatun, Your Majesty." "Hürrem Hatun?" "That's enough for today, you may retire." "Aghas!" "Summon my tutor, Kasim Paşa." "Will that baby grow up here with me?" "Will Father play with him too?" "He is still so small." "We will raise him here." "Then he will go to a province like you." "He will represent the Empire." "Send him to a province immediately." "Send his mother too." "My intelligent prince." "My lion cub." "There is still time for that." "He is your brother." "You will raise him." "Mustafa, look what I am going to show you." "You will love it." "What is it?" "Come with me." "Today you showed maturity, well done." "This is the only way you will win my son's heart Aghain." "That is all I ask for from Allah." "I pray for it." "Help me." "I am so alone." "Be patient, find peace." "You summoned me, Your Majesty." "Come, Lala." "Sit before me." "You have been of great service to the Empire." "I will never forget your efforts in raising me." "You honour me, Your Majesty." "But the time has come for you to rest, Lala." "You are to retire with a 200,000 akçe allowance." "Have I offended you unintentionally, Your Majesty?" "No." "It is simply how I see fit." "Of course." "The edict is yours to give." "Please give me your blessing, Your Majesty." "I do, Lala." "I have eaten too much." "Take this, Gülnihal." "Wait, let me just put the tray down." "Don't get up." "Eat, drink and sleep." "That's enough!" "I want to get up." "Hürrem, let's not go out." "Is it forbidden?" "Am I imprisoned?" "Get out of the way." "I am going out to see my son." "Don't do that." "Come on." "You were going to tell me something." "You cut off when Hatice arrived." "What was it?" "I don't remember." "I have forgotten it." "Were you going to apologise?" "Yes." ""I wasn't there at the birth, Hürrem."" "Were you going to ask me to forgive you?" "Yes." "Come on." "Let's sit down." "Hürrem Hatun." "You are now a sultan." "His Majesty has sent you presents reserved for sultans." "Bring them in." "How is it?" "Do you like your weasel stole?" "I love it." "Does it suit me?" "The weasel stole is reserved for the dynasty, my sultan." "No one else can wear it." "I am a sultan, aren't I?" "Sultan Hürrem." "Come in." "Nigar Kalfa has come, Effendi." "Let her in." "You are late." "I had work to do, Effendi." "The Valide sultan" "That's enough, don't explain." "Come closer." "Give me the news." "How is Hürrem Hatun?" "Effendi now that she has given birth she is acting like a sultan." "Her screams echo in the harem." "The Valide Sultan had her son removed while she was sleeping so that he could be looked after." "When she woke and couldn't see the prince beside her she brought the roof down screaming we had stolen her son and that we were thieves." "What is Gülnihal doing?" "Did she tell Hürrem she was in the private chamber?" "Allah forbid." "If she did, Hürrem would kill her." "No, she doesn't know." "It seems Hürrem has scared all of you." "No, it's not like that." "To keep the peace" "Be quiet." "I understand." "Nigar Kalfa." "I have something to ask of you." "Gülnihal." "Gülnihal?" "You are sleeping as you stand." "Go and see if the prince is all right." "Where did you disappear to?" "My sultan." "Tell me." "No one is speaking to me today." "Have you swallowed you tongue?" "I heard Nigar Kalfa speaking in the bath." "While you were in labour last night, His Majesty was in the private chamber." "It's a lie." "It's a lie." "Süleyman wouldn't do that." "I swear, that's what I heard." "I am only conveying what I heard." "Damn you!" "Hürrem Hatun." "Is there something you need?" "Tell me." "Is it true?" "Tell me!" "Was Sultan Süleyman in the private chamber while I was giving birth?" "I don't know." "Let go of my arm!" "I'll rip your arm off and leave you crippled!" "Yes, that is what I heard." "His Majesty was in the private chamber." "Who was it?" "Who was in his bed?" "Tell me!" "I don't know." "What is it to you?" "It's not for you to know." "What's it to me?" "I am his woman!" "His woman!" "Gülnihal." "Have you heard?" "What lengths they are going to to take Süleyman from me." "Who was it?" "Who lay with him?" "It doesn't matter." "Let it go." "His Majesty takes whomever he wants." "You know that." "He cannot!" "It is forbidden!" "I won't allow it!" "Gülnihal." "Find out who it was." "Please find out." "I will shower you in gold." "What will you do when you find out?" "I will take my hands, like this..." "...and take her life." "Hürrem." "Hürrem, let go." "Let go."
