"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalized based on history." "Stop." "Someone will see." "Let them see." "Are you not my fiancée?" "We are going to be late." "My father will be angry." "Let's go." "Won't your father begin Sunday Mass without you?" "If the priest's daughter isn't at the church what will they say in the village?" "Okay, let's go." "But come and see what I am going to show you." "You'll love it." "Leo!" "Please, let's just go." "My mother will punish me." "I will see it tomorrow." "Alex." "Do you love me?" "I love you very much." "Very, very much." "Leo." "Welcome, Nasuh Effendi." "I was preparing paint." "You looked as if you had forgotten the paint and were daydreaming." "No." "You have something troubling you." "Or have you been struck?" "Struck?" "You know!" "Have you fallen in love?" "Understood." "It seems I rubbed salt in the wound." "Have you ever loved?" "I'm not made of stone!" "I have a heart too." "I would know a man in love even in the dark!" "You lost her?" "Search but not find." "Lost." "Am I saying it right?" "Lost?" "Yes, you are saying it right." "Lost." "Lost?" "Now I understand." "Is that the slave you were looking for?" "Did İbrahim Pasha like the boots?" "I see, you want to change the subject." "All right, then." "He did." "I am going to see him today." "Do you have a message for him?" "No." "Okay." "What sort of colour is this?" "I like it." "Sadıka." "Go after Mustafa." "Look after him." "Yes, I am listening, Hatice." "Was there something you wanted to say?" "Valide, I would like to choose a maid of honour from among the concubines in the harem." "Good idea." "You should choose now and discipline her." "Actually, I have already chosen." "But I need your approval." "Take whomever you like, Hatice." "I want Sadıka, mother." "We haven't seen Sultan Mahidevran for a while." "They say she is out of sorts." "Why is she out of sorts?" "You know Sultan Hürrem has returned." "They say that's what upset her and made her ill." "Nobody should spout such rubbish." "Sultan Mahidevran is not ill." "She may be with child." "That's why she is resting." "Really?" "Did you hear that?" "She's with child!" "Another prince is on the way." "When Sultan Hürrem hears this she will be so upset." "Don't worry, my sultan." "Mustafa is playing." "Sadıka." "Come here." "Come closer." "You are taking good care of Mustafa." "Take this." "Wear it on your wrist." "Thank you." "I love our prince very much." "You may retire." "Where is Gülşah?" "She was to bring me some sherbet." "Take a look." "I will come back later if you are busy." "Please stay." "Mihrimah is sleeping." "Can I hold her?" "She is like silk." "It is obvious that she will be beautiful." "I hope she will be graceful and elegant like you." "By the way, I have spoken with my mother." "Sadıka will be coming with me." "Is that so?" "That's good news." "I'm glad." "Sadıka Hatun." "Don't get excited." "Don't colour those rosy cheeks." "Forget the private chamber." "Why?" "Because Valide Sultan will be sending you to Sultan Hatice's palace!" "You are to be her maid of honour." "Does this upset you?" "On the contrary, you should be happy!" "Sultan Hatice has deemed you worthy of accompanying her." "But I can't go." "I am going to be the favourite." "I'm going to stay in the palace with His Majesty." "Dreaming will get you nowhere." "The order has come from high up." "Every cloud has a silver lining." "You are going to accept your fate." "Be on your way." "Goodbye." "Gülnihal." "Hatice was just here." "Sadıka will be going with her." "Good." "Just good?" "Haven't you been listening?" "I am free of her." "She is going." "Hürrem." "I have to tell you something, but please don't be angry again." "What has happened?" "Sultan Mahidevran...." "They say she is with child." "Are you sure?" "That's what Gülşah says." "I heard her telling the girls." "Is there no end to my problems?" "One goes and another comes." "For Allah's sake!" "Tell me." "I miss Viktoria a lot." "I see her in my dreams." "It's Sadıka, not Viktoria." "That's how I love her." "She's Viktoria to me." "You understand what I am going through, my Pasha." "Help us meet." "That's very difficult, Matrakçı." "How can you meet in the palace?" "Have you lost it?" "They'll have your head!" "So what if I die?" "I'll die a martyr for love." "Wait up." "After the wedding Sadıka will be coming to my palace as our sultan's maid of honour." "You can meet then." "My Pasha!" "The greatest pasha!" "You could not have made me happier if you gave me the world." "Give me your blessed hand." "Hold up there." "What are you doing?" "The halberdiers will take you down." "I'm off." "My family is waiting." "Take care of yourself." "Boncuk Agha." "Viktoria." "Come, Viktoria." "What has happened?" "It's very bad." "They are going to send me away." "But I am going to find a way out of it." "Come here during the night prayer." "I will give you a letter." "Okay, I will come." "Wait for me here." "I will come and find you." "What are you doing?" "Don't be late tonight!" "Please sit." "Congratulations, Mahidevran." "Why didn't you tell us?" "About what, Mother?" "Apparently you are with child." "Mother, I...." "I'm so happy to have another grandchild." "Let's hope for the best." "It will be born healthy this time, Inshallah." "Congratulations, my sultan." "Isn't it a bit early for congratulations?" "The midwife should take a look first." "Maybe I'm not with child." "You are right." "Let's not tell my son until we are sure." "I have informed the midwife." "She will be coming tomorrow to check you." "Is there nothing sweet left?" "You have already eaten a lot." "Won't that be too much?" "I don't know, Gülnihal." "I felt like eating." "Anyway, go to Mahidevran." "Find out what has happened." "I can't leave the children." "There is nothing to learn." "If she's pregnant, she's pregnant." "If it's a boy she will gain power." "If that's the case she will attack me first." "They are sending me to İbrahim Pasha's palace." "Don't you worry." "Allah willing, I will reach there soon." "Take your hands off me." "Don't touch me." "There's no one here." "Come." "Don't touch me!" "Stay away!" "Don't raise your voice." "Or I will tell everyone who you are." "You will die too." "I will tell everyone who you are!" "Who would believe you over me?" "Hatice." "Gülfem." "Let's go." "Mahidevran, you sleep and rest." "The midwife will give us auspicious news in the morning, Inshallah." "Good night." "Good night, mother." "Gülşah." "You had to tell, didn't you?" "My sultan, I" "Are you trying to embarrass me in front of the whole court?" "I said it so that Hürrem would hear." "So she would drown in her jealousy." "And if I am not with child?" "Then what will happen?" "Hürrem will be the first to laugh at me." "No, my sultan." "Everything indicates...." "Get out!" "Get out of my sight!" "My sultan...." "Get out!" "Let me go!" "Has she asked for food at this time of night again?" "Nigar Kalfa said so." "Quails, sweets, all sorts of things." "The entire harem could be fed with what Hürrem Hatun ate this week." "How rude of you." "Are you keeping track of what a sultan is eating?" "Not at all!" "I only said that because we can't keep up with the food she requests, my agha." "I hope nothing is wrong." "What could these sounds be?" "It's coming from there." "What could it be?" "Shut up or I will kill you!" "Help me!" "Save me!" "I'm innocent!" "He attacked me!" "Aghas!" "Guards!" "If Mahidevran gives birth to a boy everything will fall into place in the harem, Hatice." "Mahidevran doesn't seem too hopeful." "It is not certain that she's with child." "She is being cautious." "I've noticed she has been out of sorts for a while." "Apparently she has been feeling sick." "She is obviously with child." "Let's hope for the best." "We will find out tomorrow, Mother." "Take this criminal and lock him up." "Listen, Sümbül Agha!" "I swear to Allah that I did nothing!" "She attacked me, agha!" "At least don't lie, Boncuk Agha." "It does not befit a man." "What are you waiting for?" "Take him away." "Agha, I swear I didn't do anything." "You worthless criminal!" "Poor girl." "Look how you are shaking like a doe." "Şeker Agha, prepare some almond sherbet." "Let her relax a bit." "Come on." "My agha." "Don't take me to the women." "Don't let anyone see me like this." "Everyone will gossip." "Okay." "Then I will take you to Nigar Kalfa." "She will find you a place to stay." "She will look after you." "Come on." "Allah protect me!" "What's the matter?" "Where are your manners?" "We are in no condition to think of that." "What's happened now?" "It's serious." "Sadıka will explain." "I need to see İbrahim Pasha immediately." "Come on." "Go inside." "Come in." "İbrahim Pasha, sorry to disturb you." "What's the matter, Sümbül Agha?" "Such a terrible thing has happened that..." "..." "I thought you should hear it first." "What has happened?" "Boncuk Agha from the Halberdier Company attacked Sadıka Hatun." "Allah forbid, if I hadn't got there in time he was about to rape her." "The bastard." "That mad devil." "I threw him in the dungeon and I informed his sergeants." "I told them that their halberdier had instead of ensuring the security of the harem personally threatened the honour and chastity of a concubine." "How is the lady?" "She is shaking like this." "She is in Nigar Kalfa's room now." "She's fine." "Tell Nigar Kalfa that Sadıka has been entrusted to her." "That lady is to be Sultan Hatice's maid of honour." "Tell everyone that no one is to hear of this." "My Pasha, what of Boncuk Agha?" "It was obvious." "Boncuk had his eye on you." "But it's not as if you are without fault." "This is what happens if you wander about at night." "How was I to know he was such a bad man?" "You should have known." "I had warned you." "If Sümbül Agha hadn't come you would have been raped and kicked out of the palace." "You would be living in poverty." "What is going to happen now?" "Will I be punished?" "You had better pray that Valide Sultan doesn't hear of it." "If she hears of it, it will be a disaster." "It's okay, don't cry." "Wipe those tears away." "Sleep and rest." "Let's see what tomorrow brings." "You are a beautiful lady." "You are very good." "Good morning, Your Majesty." "Good morning, Pargalı." "The weather is good today." "Let's go to the forest and hunt." "Your Majesty, I have some matters to attend to." "If you would allow me to see to them, I could join you later." "You can join us after you have seen to your business." "Your Majesty, something has occurred to me, but I don't know what you will think." "Speak, Pargalı." "Seeing your majestic image in the mirror...." "Why not have a painter in your new palace?" "I had mentioned a painter." "Leo, from Crimea." "I remember." "By your leave, Leo could paint a portrait." "We'll hang it in the palace's most striking place." "My deceased ancestor Sultan Mehmet Khan had once had himself painted by the famous Italian painter Bellini." "It could be done, Pargalı." "Why not?" "But I have one condition." "If he paints badly and I don't like it, I will have his head." "I will convey your request to Leo." "Do not be concerned." "I will build the best house in Ruthenia with my own hands." "I have chosen the most beautiful trees in the forest." "Let our house have three rooms." "One for us, one for the children." "Let's make a big garden out back." "Let's have fruit trees." "How many children will we have?" "Let's make many children." "We can have a big family." "Then let's make the first child now." "Alexandra." "Where are you, my love?" "Leo Effendi." "You are early today." "How is it going?" "Good." "I'm just working." "Good." "Be careful you don't fall and break something." "I am not you." "I won't fall." "Wow." "You have obviously heard something." "Well done." "Is that a wing?" "Look what's happened because of you." "What have you got me into?" "My sultan, I...." "You are still speaking." "You should be thankful I don't rip your tongue out." "Good morning, Mother." "It will be good, Inshallah ." "Give us our good news, midwife." " Inshallah , my sultan." "Gülnihal." "Gülnihal." "Get up." "Go to Mahidevran's chamber, quickly." "Find out if the midwife has come." "We will hear about it anyway." "What is the point?" "I want to know now." "I am curious." "Come on." "Get up." "Damn you!" "Why are you sneaking up on me?" "I need to go." "Valide Sultan is waiting." "Okay, then get dressed." "Why are you just standing there?" "I am so afraid." "What am I to do?" "Sümbül Agha came last night while you were sleeping." "İbrahim Pasha believed that you were innocent." "The matter will be closed without anyone hearing of it." "What will Boncuk Agha's punishment be?" "Stop!" "Don't do it!" "I have things to tell you!" "That woman is a traitor." "No!" "Sultan Süleyman...." "Tell me, midwife." "Is my grandchild on its way?" "I'm afraid not, my sultan." "She is not pregnant." "Are you sure?" "Please give me good news." "I don't know if it's good or bad, but I did find out Mahidevran is not with child." "Don't be upset." "You will give him princes yet." "You are now together with His Majesty." "Yes." "Haseki Sultan, I have heard that you are with child." "Congratulations." "I wish you good fortune, Inshallah ." "Unfortunately she is not pregnant." "Can we close the topic?" "Is that so?" "Don't be upset." "You are still very young." "You can give birth to many children." "Teach me this job." "You know it already." "You are a master craftsman." "No." "Miniature is not the same as this." "Okay, we can do so." "You wouldn't even notice if I cut your head off." "Good." "It's going good." "I can't wait to see it when it's finished." "Leo, I am going to give you another important job." "You are going to paint Sultan Süleyman Khan's portrait." "Not everyone is given such an important job, so appreciate it." "Matrakçı, come to the palace tomorrow morning, my sultan will see you." "You are very cruel, Hürrem." "Why did you go and congratulate her?" "They wanted me to pay homage to them so I am getting on well with them." "The more I accept my fate the more evil rains down upon me." "Who among us can oppose their fate?" "It wasn't meant to be." "Don't be pessimistic." "We need to give birth to be treated as human beings in this palace." "If there is no prince then we do not exist." "This is both the blessing and the curse of His Majesty." "I am being punished, my sultan." "He doesn't even touch me on the nights I visit him." "How can I become pregnant?" "Mahidevran, please don't speak." "Do not speak of your private matters." "All right." "You mean be quiet and die." "I can do that too, my sultan." "Wow." "Are you going to eat all of this?" "No, Mehmet is eating too." "What can I do?" "I am never full." "I love quail." "If you carry on like this there will be no quails left in the land." "It's like when you were pregnant." "You wouldn't stop eating then, either." "Maybe I am pregnant again." "Go and call the midwife." "No way." "Let's find out immediately." "I have a suspicion." "Allah give me patience." "Tell me." "You are pregnant, my sultan." "Did you hear that, Nigar Kalfa?" "Another prince is on the way." "What a lovely palace." "The colours, the light." "It is so." "Leo, you may not know the proper way to behave." "When His Majesty comes, do whatever we do." "Okay, I will." "Good." "Mahidevran can come with us when we go to your palace." "Let's choose the colours of the furniture as soon as possible." "Let's put large sofas on the upper level." "My Valide Sultan." "Come, Hürrem." "We are talking about furnishing Hatice's palace." "Tell us what you think." "I have come because I have something to tell you." "But..." "What is it?" "Something good, my sultan." "I saw you were upset for your grandchild." "But today I am going to make you happy." "I am with child." "Your Majesty." "The painter Leo has arrived." "He is awaiting an audience in the main garden." "You are making more work for me, Pargalı." "My sultan." "Are you okay?" "Don't touch me." "My sultan, I...." "Go and cling to that snake Hürrem." "Embrace her." "My sultan, please be okay." "I would like to convey the good news to His Majesty immediately, Mother." "I beg your permission." "Of course." "Share this happiness with my son." "But this time don't boast and say it will be a boy." "Allah will be offended." "Don't do it, Hürrem." "Just pray for your child to be healthy." "I will never forget your advice." "Sultan Hatice, would you come with me?" "We could go together." "Let's go." "Make way!" "His Majesty Sultan Süleyman." "Watch out, His Majesty is coming." "Turn around." "We only do that when the women of the court come." "Don't ever turn your back on the padishah." "You will lose your head." "Bow." "Your Majesty, I am honoured to present the Crimean painter Leo." "Welcome, Leo." "My mother Sultan Hafsa is also from Crimea." "We like people from Crimea very much." "I have heard of your fame." "Let's see if you are as good as they say." "İbrahim Pasha is also probably here." "You can see him." "There are still many months until we see each other." "It's difficult, isn't it?" "Yes." "But there is not much left." "It is this way out of necessity." "My sultans." "His Majesty and İbrahim Pasha are in the main garden." "Let's go there." "I am going to give His Majesty some good news." "What has happened?" "What news, my sultan?" "My sultan?" "Are you unwell?" "My sultan, you have returned early." "My sultan, please tell me what has happened." "I am beginning to get scared." "My nightmares are not ending, Gülşah." "Everything has started again." "Hürrem is pregnant again." "Will she keep giving birth?" "My sultan." "Give me permission and I will take Hürrem's life." "My padishah." "Relax." "Do whatever your job requires." "Relax." "Thank you." "Eyes straight ahead." "And right shoulder forward." "That's it." "İbrahim." "You told Leo that I would have his head if I won't like the portrait, didn't you?" "Make way!"
