"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalized based on history." "What is your name?" "Sadıka." "Have you become Muslim?" "Valide Sultan named me." "Allah willing, I became a Muslim." "Thank Allah." "Good." "Where did you come from?" "Where are you from?" "I came from Sava." "Next to the Danube." "Are you Hungarian?" "No, I'm Bulgarian." "It's beautiful." "Do you like it too, Hürrem?" "I do." "It's a beautiful palace." "There is more to do than expected, Hatice." "Even if we started the alterations today, it would still take months." "I don't think there is much to be done, Mother." "If it were up to you, you would live here in its current state." "But everything must be worthy of a sultan's palace." "Sultan Hatice deserves the best." "Your kids will be born and grow up here, Inshallah ." "Have these walls covered with pictures of flowers." "When you look at them set your eyes on the gardens of Heaven." "Valide Sultan is not fond of Hürrem Hatun either." "My sultan, isn't it strange that she took Hürrem along but not you?" "She seems as if she is enchanted." "She manages to evade everything that happens to her." "She is lucky, there is nothing we can do." "We all know Valide Sultan's fondness for you." "She will always protect you." "I'm sure of it." "Only His Majesty's love will protect me." "Mother!" "Where is Mehmet?" "Mehmet!" "Help, the prince is drowning!" "Mehmet!" "Mehmet!" "Mehmet!" "My Mehmet!" "What's going on?" "What's this commotion?" "His Majesty has left in haste, my Pasha." "Don't you dare!" "Wait." "Will you do anything with this wall?" "İbrahim Pasha came to take a look." "He has ordered that a picture be painted." "We have great artists in our workshop." "They will cover the wall with beautiful murals." "Don't you worry, Hatice." "The Pasha brought this one." "He is a painter." "The Pasha says that he'll paint the murals." "Don't raise your head." "Let's get out, go!" "Mahidevran!" "What happened?" "He fell into the water, Your Majesty." "Thank Allah, we avoided a disaster." "My Mehmet." "My Prince." "It's okay." "Where were you when this was happening?" "Why aren't you looking after my prince?" "We were watching them, Your Majesty." "They were playing, it happened suddenly." "Sultan Mahidevran ran to their rescue so quickly." "Get him dressed." "Don't let him catch a cold." "Father!" "My son!" "My Mustafa." "It's okay." "Don't be afraid." "May Allah bless you, Mahidevran." "Your Majesty, are they alright?" "Thank Allah!" "Let's go." "Let's go with my brother." "He was really afraid." "Okay my Mustafa, we'll go." "Did you worry about Mehmet?" "Yes." "Mahidevran." "Mahidevran!" "Mustafa wants to go with his brother." "Let's go." "Who are they?" "They are the members of the dynasty, Sultan Süleyman Khan's harem." "It is forbidden in these lands to look at the faces of the sultan's family, the women." "Where do they live?" "Never mind them." "Can you do the paintings that İbrahim Pasha asked for?" "Of course." "Make way!" "With your council, it will be like heaven." "This will be your home Hatice." "This palace is yours." "We will do whatever your heart desires." "It's okay." "We can turn now." "When will you start painting?" "Right away." "Now." "Yeah?" "Yes." "Go on then." "After you." "Go." "Let's go." "Have the prince sleep here." "You can take him to his chambers later." "My sultan, forgive me." "If it weren't for you, Allah forbid...." "Hush!" "Allah protected him." "If you ever leave his side, I'll throw you in the water." "My Mustafa." "Don't you worry anymore, my dear son." "You saved him." "We wouldn't have seen him if you hadn't called out." "My lion cub." "My Mustafa always protects his brother." "Right?" "Sadıka, get ready." "We are going back." "His Majesty will come." "What are you talking about?" "He won't come." "His Majesty is at the harem with his family." "But I was in the private...." "Still going on about the private chamber." "Forget it!" "Don't you see what happened?" "Let's go." "Come on!" "Open the doors." "Sümbül Agha!" "İbrahim Pasha." "You go along." "What is this?" "What do you mean my Pasha?" "What did I tell you?" "Didn't I tell you that nothing is to be done without my knowledge?" "I was going to inform you my Pasha, but you weren't here." "Valide Sultan wanted us to prepare Sadıka Hatun." "She ordered us to take her to the private chamber." "Valide Sultan?" "Yes." "When the order comes from high up, what can I do, my Pasha?" "Go away." "Go away!" "Welcome, my sultan." "Daye, go and bring Sümbül Agha." "Bring the chief architect to talk about the renovation of the palace." "I have instructions to give." "Very well, my sultan, but...." "I have news for you." "What is it?" "Prince Mehmet fell down into water at the private garden." "What?" "No need to worry." "Our prince was saved." "He is well now." "Where is my grandson?" "He is in Sultan Mahidevran's chambers." "Mahidevran?" "She came to the prince's rescue and save him." "We should immediately go." "Come on." "What's with you Sadıka Hatun?" "Where do you come from all dressed up?" "Who did you dress up for?" "Did you go to the private chamber?" "His Majesty wouldn't go to bed with her." "What are you talking about?" "Sadıka!" "Move aside." "Tell me, where are you coming from?" "I can't tell." "It's forbidden." "How so?" "Who forbade it?" "I didn't." "Was it Sümbül Agha?" "My son, Mehmet." "Tell me what happened." "I brought Mustafa to the private garden for some fresh air." "Mehmet came too, they were playing." "A concubine was watching them too." "She left them alone for a moment." "Then he fell, I took him out just in time." "How is my Mustafa?" "He must have been scared to death." "Mustafa is very fond of his brother, Hürrem." "He must have been devastated." "Mustafa is well." "He's with His Majesty." "You saved my son." "Thank you." "Should we pour lead?" "First the fire, now this." "My Mustafa." "Your grandsons are well, Mother." "Thanks to Mahidevran." "Thank Allah!" "If you'll excuse me, I will take Mehmet." "My sultan." "May Allah bless you." "You gave me my son." "That's that." "Sümbül Agha, let's play another round." "Şeker Agha, you just don't get tired of losing, do you?" "Don't give me a hard time just because you won once in a blue moon." "Maybe my luck will turn." "I'm really busy, but...." "If you insist...." "Come on." "But if I win I want a tray of baklava." "Have it prepared by noon." "Deal!" "Lay the checkers." "Sümbül Agha." "Allah give me patience." "Will I never find peace?" "What?" "You know what." "You have the news." "Apparently you took Sadıka to the private chamber." "Damn!" "I cautioned her to keep silent." "She sang like a bird." "So it's true." "I guessed as much." "Nigar Kalfa you are so bad." "Took the words right out of my mouth." "How did it happen?" "How do you think?" "Valide Sultan ordered it." "It is not like they ask us." "And?" "If Sadıka has become a favorite will we take her upstairs to the favorites' floor again?" "She is not a favorite." "They didn't lie together." "When the prince fell down, His Majesty left." "Is that so?" "She'll go again then?" "Things will get out of control again." "Don't you tell anybody anything." "Especially Sultan Hürrem." "She would set the poor girl's face on fire." "I don't want that to be on us." "I checked him, he doesn't have a fever." "Maria where's your head?" "How could you leave him alone?" "I came to feed Mihriman." "I was going to go back right away." "I told Gülşah to look after him." "You entrusted a sheep to a wolf." "My son almost died." "Don't think ill thoughts, Hürrem." "Mahidevran saved him." "Put him to sleep." "Mashallah , our prince is well." "I heard that you thanked Sultan Mahidevran." "I was happy to hear it." "The old you would have blamed her." "I'm starting to be like this palace." "Is it so bad?" "I'm learning." "You always told me to." "So you changed?" "There will be no fighting anymore, right?" "Yes." "I promised myself." "Really." "Come what may I will act like a sultan." "Alright then." "I'll tell you something." "What is it?" "Sadıka." "What about her?" "Did she die too?" "Why would she die?" "Ayşe's murderer hasn't been found." "The murderer is still here." "Aren't you afraid?" "No, it isn't like that." "Sadıka went to the private chamber." "What are you saying Daye?" "Didn't Sadıka go to the private chamber?" "She did, my sultan." "They prepared and brought her before His Majesty." "But right at that moment, when the incident with the princes happened...." "Alright, let's drop this subject." "I understand." "What would you like me to do?" "Shall we prepare her again?" "No, not now." "We'll send her later, at a more convenient time." "As you wish, my sultan." "Come, Mahidevran." "How did it happen?" "Don't get angry right away." "It was during your trip to At Meydanı Palace with Valide Sultan." "Who asked for it?" "His Majesty?" "No." "Valide Sultan ordered it." "Okay." "I get it now." "Valide took me to the palace because of this." "She drew me away." "Don't get angry." "They didn't lie together." "When the incident with the princes happened, they sent the girl away." "So they didn't lie and the plan failed?" "Don't be overjoyed." "It should happen soon." "If Valide Sultan sets her mind on something, she does it." "Why do they see me as an enemy?" "Why are they doing this?" "I keep quiet." "I obey." "But they don't stop." "Sultan Hürrem, you hold your peace." "Keep being polite." "Mahidevran are you looking at me resentfully because I didn't take you to see Hatice's palace?" "No, Mother." "I wouldn't dare." "I have a different problem." "Did you find out about Sadıka?" "You don't know the difficulties I go through." "Mahidevran, I try to manage this huge harem with all my power." "Just like you learned, however difficultly, to share His Majesty Hürrem will too." "There is no other way." "We were all trained as such in His Majesty's harem." "I went through a lot with the late sultan." "Sultans can't be husband to one woman." "This is the way things are." "Nobody can change it." "Is İbrahim Pasha not out yet?" "I miss him so much." "Ever since we decided to marry I feel ever distant." "What if something happens?" "What if I wake up from this dream?" "My sultan, you are engaged to İbrahim Pasha now." "You can see him whenever you wish." "That's it." "Smile a little." "Relax." "Who is this painter?" "He is not from around here, Your Majesty." "His name is Leo, he is Crimean." "They met with Matrakçı in the market." "They became friends." "He is also a merchant." "What does an artist know of trade?" "Not much." "He is very skilled in painting icons in churches." "By your leave, I would like to have him do some paintings on the walls of the palace." "It is your palace, Pargalı, do as you wish." "But choose your paintings carefully or else Zembilli Hodja might lose some sleep." "Is Zembilli Hodja that sharp-eyed, Your Majesty?" "Even if he can't see himself, he can listen to those who can." "Your Majesty, Sultan Hürrem is here." "Let her in." "If you'll excuse me." "İbrahim Pasha." "I saw your palace today." "It is beautiful." "You'll be happy in there, Inshallah ." "Thank you." "And I'll be happy here Inshallah ." "Thanks to you." "Congratulations on your Grand Viziership, İbrahim Pasha." "I thank you for this kind visit, Ambassador Mocenigo." "I also heard that you're marrying the elegant Sultan Hatice." "Congratulations." "Our relationship with Piri Mehmet Pasha has been troublesome at times." "We had differences in our understanding of the world." "Piri Mehmet Pasha is a very valuable statesman." "He has given outstanding service to the empire." "I would like him to be spoken of with gratitude and respect." "Ambassador Mocenigo my friendly relationship with Venice will continue increasingly." "Don't worry." "But I want to ask you some questions." "Of course, Pasha." "What will Vatican Catholic Church do about the German Luther's religion?" "The legitimacy of the church is in question." "It is interesting that you have this information." "You really surprised me, to be honest." "Don't be surprised." "We are all from the same world." "Luther will weaken the church physically and spiritually." "The Pope excommunicated Luther, banished him." "The Pope made a mistake." "Luther will be back." "And he will be even more powerful." "He will be back with the support of the people, the princes, the electors." "The Church will stop robbing the people." "Paying gold to have sins absolved and buy a place in Heaven will come to an end." "Sadıka are you staying here now?" "They brought me here." "They said that favorites stay there." "I'm not a favorite." "Don't be sad." "You might become a favorite too." "How did you come to this palace?" "Who brought you?" "İbrahim Pasha put me in the harem." "Now I see." "Sadıka, where have you been?" "Get back to work." "Come on!" "My sultan, do you require something?" "Sümbül Agha the poor little Harem Agha." "You can't fullfill my wishes." "You aren't powerful enough." "His Majesty Sultan Süleyman Khan!" "What news do you have from the realm of infidels, İbrahim Pasha?" "We were talking of Martin Luther the monk who revolted against the Pope and the Church selling a place in Heaven." "And apparently he is now translating the infidel Bible, from Latin to German." "That's why the Vatican excommunicated him." "They are losing their main source of income." "Of course they won't allow it." "Luther burned his excommunication letter in front of the Church, without blinking." "How many people know Latin anyway?" "If you translate it to the people's language, those who read it will have new questions." "The Church doesn't like questions." "Obedience is fundamental." "The Church's power is in question now." "My sultan is very right." "Christendom is in such a disagreement for the first time since the Jewish matter." "But the Vatican Catholic Church..." "...will always be powerful." "Tell me Ambassador Charles V couldn't convince Luther at the Diet of Worms." "Will he be able to convince the Germans now?" "Germans accept Charles V as their emperor but not all Germans think like their emperor." "İbrahim Pasha did you invite him to your wedding?" "No, Your Majesty." "İbrahim Pasha is having a wedding." "You will be our guests." "We would be honored, my sultan." "İbrahim Pasha will be picking Mustafa from school." "I sent word..." "...he will wait for you there." "Thank you, Gülfem." "What will I do without you?" "I wish you could come with us too after the wedding." "I would be honored my sultan but you know I belong here." "I can't come." "What if I talk with my mother?" "It wouldn't help." "I belong to His Majesty." "We can't change the way things are." "Don't be upset." "Your palace is really close." "I will visit you often." "My sultan, Gülfem Hatun, how are you today?" "Welcome Hürrem." "Come, sit beside me." "Are you well?" "There is time before the wedding, but my sultan is already sad to leave me." "Aren't you going with her?" "It's impossible for me to go." "But my sultan won't be alone, of course." "Let's ask Daye Hatun to find you a sensible, educated maid of honor." "I have already found peace, Nigar." "However hard they may push me..." "..." "I will step back." "You would do well to." "But Sadıka can't ever enter His Majesty's room again." "It's forbidden." "How so?" "How can you forbid it?" "She can't, I say." "I have to get rid of her." "Don't make me regret telling you." "Don't worry I will find another way." "I know who can be your maid of honor." "Who?" "There is a girl in Valide Sultan's service." "She is really pleased with her." "Which one is she?" "Her name is..." "Sadıka." "The one who rescued the princes from the fire." "Yes." "Mother really likes her." "It was İbrahim Pasha who brought her here." "Is that so?" "Sümbül Agha told me." "Would Mother allow it, I wonder?" "After all, she is in her service." "Why wouldn't she?" "You are her most precious daughter." "Sultan Hürrem is right." "Daye Hatun speaks highly of that girl too." "We'll figure it out." "Sadıka." "Yes, my sultan." "You haven't smiled for some time." "Tell me if you have a problem." "No, my sultan." "There is no problem." "Are the concubines treating you badly in the harem?" "It isn't that...." "I...." "Tell me, don't be shy." "A harem Agha prepared me." "I went before His Majesty." "Did I do something wrong to be sent back?" "Be patient." "You'll go again when the time comes." "As long as you uphold your respect and grace." "You pick up Mustafa from school today." "Bring him to me, I miss him." "Good." "The more divided the infidels are, the better for the Empire." "We should implement all kinds of policies to keep them from being unified, just like our ancestors did." "Luther said "For the Turk is the servant of the devil, the first thing to do is to smite the devil, take the rod out of God's hand so the Turk may be all by himself."" ""We should wage war against the Pope, the clerics and the bishops rather than wage war against the Turks."" "Follow the developments." "Secretly back up Luther and German rulers so they can resist the Pope and the Spanish." "The Governor of Egypt, Ahmet Pasha!" "Your Majesty." "How are you Ahmet Pasha?" "When are you going to Egypt?" "I have just completed the preparations, Your Majesty." "We will set out this time tomorrow, Inshallah ." "I have come to ask for your blessing." "You have my blessing Ahmet Pasha." "May Allah guide you." "The order of Egypt is on your shoulders." "Go and mete out justice in my name over there." "Don't be concerned, Your Majesty." "Your eminent justice will reach there." "Our treasury will bode well too." "Be assured that we will find new sources of income." "Ahmet Pasha, you know Kadızade Mehmet Effendi." "Yes, I do." "He will accompany you." "He will be your most trusted supporter in the governing of Egypt." "No need, My Pasha." "I have my own men." "Pasha there will certainly be new laws." "Mehmet Effendi should be most helpful in that regard." "Your Majesty." "Kadızade Effendi, see to your preparations." "You are going to Egypt with Ahmet Pasha." "As you wish, Your Majesty." "Mehmet Effendi." "Don't forget what I told you." "You will record everything that happens in Egypt and send them to me." "I especially want to know everything Ahmet Pasha does." "Keep your eyes peeled." "Don't let him do anything that you don't trust or believe in." "Don't you worry İbrahim Pasha." "I know exactly why you appointed me to this position." "I'll always be watching Ahmet Pasha." "I'll write everything to you." "Yes, have a safe journey." "My Pasha are you going to the Enderûn?" "They are waiting." "I will see the prince first, then go over." "My sultan, you seem to be not recovering from this stomach illness." "It'll pass." "I'm taking the chief physician's medicine." "I just caught a cold, it isn't important." "I wish this nausea would stop." "I have a suspicion about this unending nausea, my sultan." "You may be with child." "What?" "Maybe you are with child." "What are you talking about?" "It is just regular nausea." "Don't talk like that." "I can feel it." "Let's send for midwife to check you." "No need." "Have some damson sherbet prepared." "It makes me feel better." "My sultan." "Mustafa is inside." "Don't let him see you." "He'll come out soon." "Apparently you went to the palace with Valide Sultan." "Did you like it?" "I loved it." "I'm already having dreams." "A part of me is scared of these dreams." "What if they won't come true?" "I want to go there every day to create a palace worthy for you." "I'm counting the days before we can be together." "The dream of being under the same roof with you was so impossible." "I sometimes have a hard time believing it." "My sultan, my Pasha." "Valide Sultan sent me." "She sent for the prince." "Okay, wait inside." "We'll go together." "İbrahim, you brought this concubine here?" "True." "Matrakçı Nasuh Effendi found her all alone injured and on the way to Rhodes." "I handed her over to Sümbül Agha." "Turns out it was fortunate." "Apparently she saved the princes from the fire." "Mother really likes her too." "She is a sensible, proper girl." "I haven't told her yet, but I might take her to our palace as my maid of honor." "That would be fitting." "It should be good to have her close." "Did Sultan Hatice agree?" "I think I put it in her mind." "Let's see what happens." "Let's say she wanted her." "How do we know Valide Sultan will let her?" "That girl will leave this palace." "If not like this, I will find another way." "Hürrem there are hundreds of concubines." "If she leaves, a new one will come along." "Süleyman will not be with anyone other than me." "I won't allow it." "When will this storm inside you die down?" "When I die."
