"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalized based on history." "Try to understand me." "Please, trust me." "There is no other option." "Leo." "I am begging you." "Leave here." "I don't want to hurt you." "But you should understand me." "Seeing you like this is devastating." "You are so close, yet I am not even allowed to look at you." "Shut up!" "Someone is coming." "Alex?" "What about us?" "My name is no longer Alex." "I am Sultan Hürrem!" "If you stay here, we will all die." "My sultan." "Your Majesty." "You surprised me." "I was not expecting you." "I wanted to see Sultan Hatice." "I wanted to congratulate her upon hearing the good news." "Leo Effendi was talking about how he does his paintings." "Is it still not finished?" "Well, pasha wanted to add some colour up there." "Get up." "I said, get up!" "My sultan." "Listen to me very carefully." "You've embellished this palace with your art." "I require one more thing." "I will finish your painting with our sultan as soon as possible." "Of course, that is another thing." "I want you to paint on leather, for my marquee." "I would, but I don't know what a marquee is." "A palace made of linen that I use outside of the palace for when I'm hunting or on a campaign." "A tent." "I will put it over my bed." "I will go to sleep admiring it." "I want a painting of the sky." "The sky?" "Yes." "Night on one side, day on the other." "On one side white clouds and a blue sky." "And on the other side the moon and the stars shining in the darkness." "Hatice." "Your Majesty." "My precious." "The good news has made me very happy." "May Allah allow them to grow up with their parents." "You honour me, Your Majesty." "May Allah bless you." "You shine like a light on my loneliness." "I am hungry." "Let us eat upon İbrahim Pasha's famous dining table." "We're on top of it, Your Majesty." "I've warned you before, Nigar Kalfa." "And yet you seem to have forgotten again who the sultan is." "My sultan, I" "Listen." "Don't speak." "You became Hürrem's shadow, her slave." "You do everything she says." "Do you think I am not aware of this?" "Do you think I don't know that you two plot against me?" "My sultan, what could I have against you?" "I'm just trying to do my job." "Your job is to obey me." "But it is over now, Nigar Kalfa." "This is the end." "It is time to end this." "Where will you be eating, sir?" "I am not hungry." "I won't eat." "I could strangle you with my bare hands." "Nobody would even care to investigate." "There is a killer in the palace anyway." "They would think it was him." "Or maybe they'd think it was Hürrem." "My sultan...." "Do you want to leave this room alive?" "Okay, then." "From now on, you will report to me." "If you don't, I will end your life." "You will continue to stay with Hürrem." "But I want to know every step she takes." "Watch her night and day." "You will tell me every little thing that she does." "If you don't, I'll take your life." "Understood?" "Understood?" "Good." "I will spare your life for now." "İbrahim promised me." "He won't leave us with the grief of his loss." "Now that he knows he's going to be a father he has to come back." "I know how Hatice feels." "Whenever Your Majesty goes on campaign only Allah knows what I go through." "Pasha has an important mission." "My only wish is that he succeeds in his mission and returns safely." "2 weeks later..." "İbrahim Pasha messengers waiting at the docks brought us a letter." "Is it from the capital?" "No, my pasha." "Kadızade Mehmet Bey sent it from Cairo." "İbrahim Pasha I have received our great padishah's edict." "I had to act on the situation without waiting for you." "Cairo" "Otherwise, Ahmet Pasha could have taken the necessary steps to consolidate his power." "After great efforts, the Mameluke lords have joined our side." "I have bestowed gifts and bribes upon them." "Finally, we took action when Ahmet Pasha and his men were enjoying themselves in a hamam in Cairo." "Ahmet Pasha." "Did you think you could escape Sultan Süleyman's justice?" "I made you my vizier." "I gave you heaps of gold." "This is how you pay me back?" "I would rather die with honour than betray the empire." "In the name of Sultan Süleyman Khan for colluding with the enemy against the empire and the great sultan's will you are sentenced to death for treason." ""Ahmet Pasha was executed by beheading." "We await your arrival to establish peace and harmony in Egypt."" "Egypt is waiting for us." "You always win." "I don't want to play anymore." "I want to shoot arrows in the main garden." "Will you run away from every defeat, Mustafa?" "Learn a lesson from this defeat." "Find out what you did wrong." "Okay." "I learned my lesson." "But I am good at archery, am I not?" "We will see about that." "I will take you hunting so you can shoot real arrows." "You can shoot at stationary targets." "Let's see if you can do the same with moving ones." "Let's go hunting then!" "Not now." "We will when the time comes." "My budgerigars." "How are you, dear?" "Are you playing hard to get?" "See?" "He's singing to you." "Why don't you answer?" "Go away, Leo." "I am begging you, just leave." "My sultan." "Nigar, come." "Look at them." "Listen how sweetly they sing." "Is something wrong?" "Your Majesty." "I am here to take Mustafa so he doesn't take up your time." "Let's stay a bit longer, Mother." "Father is going to take me hunting." "And I will hunt the biggest deer for our padishah." "Where will we go hunting?" "We can go to Edirne." "The best hunting grounds are there." "Tell me, what happened?" "Sultan Mahidevran." "What happened to her?" "What did she do?" "I have been meaning to tell you...." "Nigar Kalfa?" "She's decided I am her enemy because I am with you." "Did she do something to you?" "No." "But she might." "I am afraid." "Don't be afraid, Nigar." "As long as I am around no one can touch you." "What is she doing there?" "I don't know." "She probably came to take Mustafa." "I should go." "They might be looking for me." "I start to dream about Sadıka if I don't see her for two days." "But İbrahim Pasha promised me that he will wed us." "Look, spring is here." "The trees and birds are celebrating." "They are celebrating our love." "Although, I haven't seen any signs from Sadıka yet." "She is shy." "Even her shyness..." "...is so beautiful" "My work in the palace is done." "What?" "I mean, it is almost finished." "I should go." "No way!" "What about the painting of his Majesty and our sultan?" "But I need to go." "I was told to." "Who told you that?" "Well...." "I mean, I can't live here." "I miss Crimea." "Crimea will still be there." "Let's take a look at the paintings." "Come on." "I brought you some fruit." "I will tidy up the room." "No need." "Thank you." "Sadıka Hatun." "Thank you very much." "I hope you are well." "I'm all right." "My sultan must be waiting." "Enjoy." "My son, let me look at you." "You look so handsome." "Where is my brother?" "Did you miss your brother Mustafa?" "Gülnihal can take you to him." "You can play together." "Okay." "Where were you?" "You always leave when I'm not here." "Esma Hatun was here." "I went to check on the girls." "They were talking about you." "They really love you." "Good." "They should love me." "They are saying His Majesty is to go hunting." "Hunting?" "Didn't you know?" "He is going to take Mustafa along." "Who else is going?" "His Majesty won't take Mustafa alone." "Sultan Mahidevran will probably go with them." "That is what they said." "Where are they going to hunt?" "In Edirne." "They said it might go on for days." "His Majesty takes his time when hunting." "When are they leaving?" "Go find out." "Make way!" "His Majesty, Sultan Süleyman Khan!" "My son." "My precious prince." "Your Majesty." "You honour me." "It has been so long." "Finally, His Majesty and I will go hunting together." "Do you remember when he took us hunting at the Manisa Palace?" "He didn't want to be away from us." "Mahidevran." "Look what I brought you." "I ordered some Persian velvet for you." "Thank you, my Valide Sultan." "We are to go hunting in Edirne with my father." "Really?" "Wonderful!" "Mustafa is in school now." "You can play later." "Okay." "My lion." "It will be Mustafa's first hunt." "Mehmet can come too." "He is very fond of his brother Mustafa." "They can spend some time together." "Mehmet is too young." "I can also come." "I can take care of the children." "That is, if you see fit." "There is still time." "We can talk about this later." "Your Majesty." "I am sorry to bother you, but there is important news." "What is it, Sümbül Agha?" "I hope it is good news, Your Majesty." "I wanted to deliver this letter from İbrahim Pasha to you immediately." "Your Majesty, I salute you with my greatest respect." "I am happy to convey good news to you." "I received a letter from Kadızade Mehmet Effendi when I was in Rhodes." "The traitor Ahmet Pasha and his accomplices were beheaded." "The rebellion in Egypt was quelled." "I am now headed to Cairo over sea." "Establishing Sultan Süleyman Khan's will and establishing peace and order is our only goal." "My sultan I am writing to you in the middle of the sea." "I am surrounded by eternal serenity." "Suddenly, a flock of birds appeared over us." "A flock that was flying so far away from land." "When I was expecting to see you as a mermaid there were birds." "I wonder where they are flying to." "Maybe they are Simurgh." "Phoenixes fly over the Qaf to find the truth." "Will they pass over the Sea of Love and reach the Valley of Separation?" "I am like the Simurgh, flapping my wings to reach you." "I wish to see your wings that embrace me with love." "If only I could land on your neck where I could hear every one of your heartbeats." "I would be happy to die there." "Then you would revive me with your kiss." "You would tell me that we are our own reality." "I wish I could lose myself in your beautiful scent at nights." "We would never wake up." "Until our child calls for us." "I heard there are tigers and bears in the forest." "What if I see one?" "You can deal with all of them." "And His Majesty will be there too." "Mother, will you also come?" "You will hunt with your father." "I will be waiting in the tent or in the Edirne Palace." "I have prepared Mehmet and packed his stuff." "Okay." "I am coming in a minute." "Why are you dressed up?" "I thought I would go with Mehmet." "Esma Hatun can take care of him." "You're going to look after Selim and Mihrimah." "Stay in the palace." "Sultan Hürrem, I've just talked to Sümbül Agha." "The carriage is ready." "His Majesty will leave soon." "We can take them inside." "No." "Nobody will look after them when I am gone." "I don't want them to die." "Okay, give it to me." "At least I can carry it." "Did you pack the woollen scarf?" "And the green dress?" "I have packed everything you'll need, my sultan." "Don't worry." "There is more than you need." "Good." "My sultan." "We are ready, Sümbül Agha." "Have these chests carried." "And have them pick up Mustafa's chest from his room too." "Sümbül Agha?" "My sultan, we already packed our prince's belongings in the carriage." "Okay, take these too, then." "I don't want to keep him waiting." "My sultan I wasn't told that you were coming too." "What?" "I swear, this is His Majesty's orders." "He will take the princes, Mustafa and Mehmet." "And...." "And who?" "Sultan Hürrem." "Here she is again." "Mother?" "What happened?" "Nothing." "You go." "Won't you be coming?" "I have to stay here." "Why?" "Go now." "Don't keep your father waiting." "My sultan." "Hatice, cheer up." "The rebellion in Egypt was quelled." "And İbrahim Pasha will return as soon as possible." "Inshallah, he's not in danger, Mother." "How is your health?" "Are you taking care of your baby?" "Don't tire yourself." "It feels like I'm the baby." "Yes, you are." "Everyone looks after me." ""Don't do this, don't do that."" "Don't worry, my sultan." "I am quite cautious." "She sees the physicians regularly." "Thank you, Gülfem." "I know you're fond of Hatice." "But at least until İbrahim Pasha returns I want you to stay here, with me." "I promised the pasha, Mother." "I wouldn't want to be away from my own home." "But I can visit often." "I miss this place too." "I miss you." "His Majesty, Sultan Süleyman Khan!" "Mother." "Hatice, my precious sultan." "I am glad to see you." "I was going to see you before I head out." "I am sure Mother gave you the good news about Egypt." "Are you okay?" "I am well, Your Majesty." "I pray for your well-being." "Are you leaving too?" "Don't worry, I am not going on a campaign." "I am going to hunt in Edirne." "Spring is the hunting season." "My princes, Mustafa and Mehmet, along with Hürrem, will accompany me." "Mahidevran?" "Ayas Pasha has full authority." "You can tell him if you need anything." "Cairo" "Bab-üz Züveyle Gate" "My pasha, we have been looking forward to your arrival." "A small fleet from graceful İbrahim." "Your Majesty, it might not be my place to speak but Ahmet Pasha's plan is better." "His battle strategy is sound." "The grand vizier of the empire is the concierge of the private chamber, İbrahim." "Who do you think you are?" "I will exile you." "I speak my mind." "You cannot, pasha." "I will not let you." "From now on, Ahmet Pasha will continue to serve in Egypt as the governor." "As you commanded we hung his head to make an example." "Take it down." "Send his head to His Majesty." "I think they got the message." "Edirne Palace" "Let's go hunting." "Don't be too hasty." "We have to settle in first." "Hürrem." "My precious sultan." "Do you like it here?" "Your Majesty this place is like heaven." "I wish we lived here together all the time." "Let's go inside." "Rest a little." "Did you bring your birds here?" "They are my lucky charms." "They go wherever I go." "Their voices comfort me." "And you are my source of comfort, peace and joy." "I should put you in a cage too." "Since His Majesty is gone, you can make my favourite dessert." "I will if you beat me at backgammon." "I want revani ." "Revani?" "Okay." "You can have it, easily." "I'm not going anywhere, Nigar!" "I have a list for Şeker Agha." "He can buy them when he's in the bazaar." "What do you want?" "Clothes, jewellery...." "You know, women's stuff." "You are rather dolled up." "Soon you will be asking for the private chamber." "God help me." "Nigar Kalfa, Sultan Mahidevran is asking for you." "What happened?" "You seem nervous." "Did you do something to upset our sultan?" "No." "I'm okay with revani." "But what will I get if I win?" "I will give you tomorrow off so you can wander the bazaar." "You have to keep your promise." "Yeah, sure." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Do you remember what we talked about?" "You were supposed to tell me every step Hürrem takes." "There is nothing to say, my sultan." "She's gone to Edirne anyway." "That's what I'm asking about." "Why didn't you tell me that before?" "I swear, I had no idea." "Give me something, Nigar Kalfa." "Anything about her." "Or I will hurt you." "Believe me, my sultan, I am on it." "If there's anything, if she does anything wrong...." "Don't you dare keep it to yourself." "Then you will see what I will do to you." "Draw one more." "Release." "Good." "One more." "Keep it steady." "Esma." "The ring is missing." "Where is it?" "I don't know." "I haven't seen it, my sultan." "Weren't you wearing it?" "What if it fell?" "I will die if it gets lost." "My sultan, maybe you forgot it at the palace." "Go and check the room." "Check the jewellery box." "Find it and bring it to me." "He used to play the violin on that terrace." "And I used to listen to him." "Stare at him." "I miss him so much, Gülfem." "My sultan, let's have dinner then we can prepare you a room." "Can't I stay in İbrahim's room?" "There is nobody around the private chamber anyway." "Mahidevran." "How are you?" "I am very upset, my sultan." "My Mustafa is with Hürrem, in Edirne." "His Majesty didn't even let me accompany my son." "And he gave her this place too." "Do not dwell on these things." "Otherwise you won't find any peace." "Come." "Let's eat." "I'll be there in a second."
