"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalised based on history." "It is great to see you." "I was always thinking of you." "I had wondered where you were or if you were alive." "Father thought you were dead but I didn't believe it." ""My Theo must be alive." I said." ""My heart says he is alive!"" ""He is alive, he's going to come back some day."" "Come on, let's go back home." "Are you hungry, Theo?" "I can eat all of the fish." "You always ate too much." "You always wanted my plate too." "But who cares?" "You are here now." "You can eat all the fish in Parga." "Let's go." "The things Mother said to me made me realise that my heart has no value." "I disgraced my family." "You are being too hard on yourself." "They are angry because they care about you." "It will pass." "Give it some time." "Time heals everything." "Look at me." "I was invited to His Majesty's presence tonight." "Isn't that a miracle?" "It is not." "It is Mother's will." "She reigns over all of our lives." "I didn't say that to hurt your feelings." "I am hurt." "That is why." "I need to get ready." "Auntie, we are going to see my father." "You should come too." "Enjoy your meal." "Thank you." "Please join us." "Of course." "I miss eating with you." "Sultan Hürrem." "Here you go." "I am going to have lunch with the ladies." "I asked Sümbül Agha what is going to happen tonight." "He didn't tell me." "You tell me." "Is she going to see His Majesty?" "I swear I don't know." "Nobody knows." "Or all of you are liars." "Overseer Nigar." "We are going to the bath with my Sultan." "Is everything ready?" "It is." "I'll be there shortly." "She is getting ready, it's Thursday." "She is going to see His Majesty." "Sultan Hürrem, you said it wouldn't happen again." "It seems Sultan Mahidevran is the Chief Consort." "Shut up, Ayşe." "Stay out of it." "I will rip your tongue out, Ayşe!" "I am going to show everyone who the Chief Consort is." "Why are you saying this to me?" "Say that to Sultan Mahidevran." "Watch it, Ayşe." "Be careful." "Sultan Hürrem." "What are you going to do?" "Are you going to give me a poisoned fur too?" "You are talking to a Sultan." "Don't forget that!" "Be careful what you're saying or...." "Or what?" "I will kill you!" "I will kill you and feed you to the dogs!" "You are dead, Ayşe!" "You are dead!" "Damn your tongue, Ayşe!" "Let go of me!" "I remember this olive oil." "The smell the taste." "Eleni's bread mother's cheese." "Here you go." "All yours." "Theo, how did you become so rich?" "You have your own servants and you bring us chests full of gifts." "First, I became İbrahim." "I was at the Saruhanlı Ranch, in Manisa." "The Lady of the Ranch took interest in me and made sure I had a good education." "One day Prince Süleyman visited our ranch when he was hunting." "I was playing the violin." "He summoned me." "He liked how I played." "So he took me to the Manisa Palace with him." "I spent seven years there." "Then Sultan Süleyman acceded the throne." "What did you do then?" "We went to Constantinople together." "He became the Padishah and I became his concierge." "I became his closest friend." "His most loyal subject." "We went on campaigns together." "Belgrade, Rhodes...." "We always came back victorious." "He promised me something in Rhodes." "He said:" ""If we return home victorious, I will send you to Parga to see your family."" "His Majesty kept his promise." "Here I am." "You had a life worthy of a fairy tale." "I am glad I gave you to the Ottomans." "If you had stayed here, you would be a fisherman." "I am proud of you, İbrahim." "I wish your mother could have seen it." "I am sure she has, father." "I have always believed that." "I have felt that she has." "If I hadn't, I might have lost my mind." "Outrageous!" "I want to kill her!" "I want to choke her." "I want to rip her throat apart." "Don't say that." "Don't." "Yes, don't protect me." "Protect my enemies." "Get out." "I want to be alone." "All of you, leave." "I can take care of my children." "Get out!" "We are here!" "My lion cub is here!" "My son!" "You have grown up." "You can't sit on my lap anymore." "Look." "You will sit on the chair there." "Come here." "There is my Prince." "He is going to work with His Majesty now." "Here is your pen." "Your inkpot." "And some papers." "You can write and draw as you wish." "You should leave, Mother." "I am going to work with His Majesty." "Please let me stay, my Prince." "I could just stand in a corner without bothering you." "You can stay." "We have so much to do." "When is İbrahim coming back?" "I missed him." "He will come back soon." "Father is asleep." "He said we should go fishing tomorrow." "No." "We should not." "The fish can wait." "My brother is here!" "Niko." "Let's buy a big boat." "And we can repair this house." "What do you say?" "Or we could build a huge house." "By the beach." "The biggest house in Parga." "Forget about it." "You don't need to pay that much money." "We are fishermen." "Having too much would be bad for us." "You are going to go back anyway." "We are okay with what we have." "I am not going back, Niko." "He is not coming back, Gülfem." "We are separated forever." "There is a great sea between us." "I can't even dream of seeing him again even from far away." "Look." "I have nothing else but what is inside this box." "I want to put my whole life in this box lock it and throw it into the sea that separates us." "It would be a shame to throw that butterfly away." "You should always carry it." "It will protect you." "Your heart is going to fly away to find your lover." "Are you out of your mind?" "You can't have a fight with Hürrem." "She will kill you." "She threw me out of the room because I spoke." "She can't do anything." "Have you forgotten what happened to me?" "The things she has done to me?" "She burned me with poison." "Allah know what she'd do to you." "I couldn't help it." "She acts like she owns this place." "Contain yourself." "Don't do anything." "Are you listening to us, Blue Eyes?" "No." "I was going to sleep." "Sleep then." "Don't make any noise." "I can't deal with you now." "Where are you going to sleep?" "Down there with the others." "Sultan Hürrem wanted to be alone." "She is going to be alone for a long time." "I would sit here at night I would think about you, get mad at you." "I would swear at you I would cry and my mother would get angry with me." "You disappeared, brother." "We didn't hear anything from you." "But I knew you were alive." "You forgot about us!" "I've never forgiven you for forgetting about us." "Why?" "Why, Theo?" "Why didn't you come before?" "When you lose your other half you feel there is something missing you feel crippled." "Since the day I left..." "I..." "I always wanted to go back." "In my dreams I would search for the road home." "I would get lost." "You have never left, Niko." "You have never been taken away from your home, from your family, from your sea." "I spent my whole life grieving for you." "Then...." "We should end your grief." "For grief rots the heart." "My brother." "I have kept this for you." "My mother's violin!" "Are you going to play it, or have you forgotten how to do it?" "I have not forgotten anything, Niko." "Your Majesty." "Let your concubine have this." "Please do not deprive me of your touch." "I have been longing for it." "Sadıka?" "What are you doing here?" "I should ask you the same." "What are you doing here?" "I couldn't sleep." "I was getting some fresh air." "Don't lie to me." "You gave something to Boncuk." "I saw you." "You can tell your lies to Sümbül Agha." "Move or I am going to scream and wake everyone up." "Okay!" "I am coming." "We will see how faithful you are now." "You are done." "Move!" "What happened to Lady Ayşe?" "Lady Ayşe!" "Who would do such a thing?" "I want to go to class by myself." "I don't want Gülşah to come with me." "Why is that?" "My father said I was a big man now." "My Sultan." "Gülşah, leave." "I am going by myself." "Sure, my Pasha." "My Sultan." "I need to tell you something." "Lady Ayşe is dead." "Someone slit her throat." "What?" "What happened?" "Come." "Your punishment is over." "Lady Ayşe" "Look you are going to be punished again." "Do not mention her name." "She is dead." "They found her body." "She is dead?" "How?" "Was she sick?" "Someone slit her throat." "And just left her there." "Who?" "Who did this?" "Nobody knows." "Poor girl." "Very unfortunate." "I feel bad for her." "My Valide Sultan." "Lady Ayşe, one of His Majesty's concubines was murdered last night." "What are you saying, Sümbül Agha?" "What do you mean she was murdered?" "Someone slit her throat." "We found the body in the courtyard this morning." "There was blood everywhere." "Who did it?" "Who is the killer, Sümbül Agha?" "I won't allow a killer under this roof." "Find whoever killed her!" "Come here!" "Tell me or I will slit your throat!" "I don't know anything!" "How come?" "You stay in the same room and you fight with each other every day." "Don't lie to me!" "I will hand you over to the Valide Sultan and tell her you did it." "Gülnihal was in the room last night." "I went to sleep." "Her bed was empty when I woke up." "I thought she went downstairs early." "We will see if you are telling the truth." "Who did this?" "Did nobody see what happened?" "Do you not fear Allah?" "Have you no conscience?" "Speak!" "I don't know who did it but everyone knows who hated Ayşe the most." "Who is that?" "Can't you speak?" "Answer Lady Daye!" "Lady Hürrem." "You saw it too, Overseer Nigar." "You know the things she said yesterday in front of us all." "What did Lady Hürrem say?" "She said "I'm going to kill you and feed you to the dogs!"" "Is this true?" "Did all of you hear her say that?" "She must have said that out of anger." "We can't accuse a mother of a prince because of some things she said?" "But we heard her saying those things." "I think she did it." "We should talk to Ayşe's roommate Sadıka." "I did, Lady Daye." "She doesn't know anything." "Sümbül Agha told me this morning that His Majesty has sent a messenger after İbrahim Pasha to Parga." "He sent a letter." "When did he send it?" "The messenger went just after him." "This doesn't sound good, Gülfem." "I need to talk to His Majesty." "Did you hear, my Sultan?" "Someone slit Lady Ayşe's throat." "Everyone suspects Hürrem." "Things are getting worse since Pargalı left." "Have you ever fallen in love?" "Me?" "So many times." "And all of them got married." "Still, this is not too bad." "I cast my net on any woman I want and any mermaid coming out of the sea." "What about you?" "I have." "I loved the impossible one." "Why is that?" "You are powerful, rich and handsome." "You are at least as handsome as me." "What kind of woman wouldn't want you?" "Those things aren't always enough for love, Niko." "My love is unreachable, behind the Kaf Mountain." "Behind the Kaf Mountain." "Did you fall in love with the daughter of the cruel king?" "You are close." "Not his daughter." "His sister." "His sister?" "Or is it your love that exiled you?" "You sent for me." "Let us visit the bazaar today." "We will go in disguise." "We should see how the people are doing." "Are we going right now, Your Majesty?" "We should take some measures." "We are going to be around your subjects." "We should take some time." "Why should we wait, Pasha?" "İbrahim would have taken the measurements in no time." "Sümbül Agha." "Lady Gülnihal." "Did you hear?" "I did." "It is so sad." "It was just yesterday when we were having a chat." "When did you go back to Lady Hürrem?" "We didn't." "She threw us out." "She was furious last night." "We slept downstairs with the others." "Why was she furious?" "She and Ayşe had a fight." "I told her not to act like that." "And she told me to get out." "She said she wanted to be alone." "Was there nobody with her?" "No." "She was alone." "Sümbül Agha?" "I am scared." "Don't be." "I will protect you no matter what." "Did you find out anything new?" "Is His Majesty in his chamber?" "His Majesty has left the palace, my Sultan." "I will wait for him." "Even if it gets late." "Isn't İbrahim Pasha's room empty?" "I will wait for him there." "You honour us." "We missed you here." "You haven't been around recently, Matrakçı." "İbrahim Pasha has left me alone, sir." "It is time he comes back." "Hello, sir." "Where are these from?" "Aleppo." "How many batches?" "Don't you have any Bursa silk?" "Of course, but we set them aside for our valuable customers." "Look." "These are from Bursa." "I sold three batches to the palace the other day." "İbrahim Pasha the Favourite was here." "The Grand Vizier himself bought chests of the stuff and left." "Why did you call him İbrahim the Favourite?" "If he's His Majesty's favourite, he's ours too." "Matrakçı is a very close friend of İbrahim Pasha." "Let's go." "You too, Matrakçı." "Where are we going, sir?" "To see Zembilli Hodja." "We are going to check the basket." "Let's see what kind of complaints have been thrown in the basket." ""Help us, Hodja Effendi." "Ferhat Pasha is taking all our money." "We can't even buy bread." "He takes too much taxes." "We are tired of working for nearly nothing at the docks." "We are the merchants of Edirnekapı." "Ferhat Pasha has destroyed our business."" "We are all very afraid after Lady Ayşe's death." "I hope my Mustafa doesn't know." "We didn't tell him." "We don't even mention it near him." "Who could have done this, my Valide?" "It will come out." "I won't let the devil stay under my roof." "What did you find out, Daye?" "I talked with everyone in the harem." "They mentioned a fight that happened yesterday." "Lady Hürrem had a fight with Lady Ayşe and threatened her in front of everyone." "She had said she would kill her." "Sümbül Agha and Overseer Nigar heard her saying that too." "I also heard a part of the fight yesterday." "We have all seen what she did to her closest friend, Gülnihal." "She might have done the same to Lady Ayşe." "What does Gülnihal say?" "Or was she too afraid to talk?" "Lady Hürrem had kicked her and the other concubine out." "She had said she wanted to be alone." "I don't want your greetings or fake politeness." "I have lost all my faith in you after what you did." "Why are you angry with me, my Valide Sultan?" "What did I do wrong?" "What do you think?" "You were saying that you would kill Lady Ayşe." "That was because I was very angry." "What kind of anger is that that we find Lady Ayşe the day after it." "You killed her." "No." "I did not." "I swear I did not." "I don't believe you." "My grandchildren won't be staying with you until you're proven innocent." "I won't leave them with you while there is suspicion." "Daye, take the children." "No." "Lock her door and put a guard on it." "Don't take my children away!" "Give her to me." "Mihrimah!" "Mehmet!" "Please!" "Don't go!" "Don't take them!" "Mehmet!" "Mihrimah!" "I am innocent!" "Please don't." "You honour me, Your Majesty." "It is an honour for me to have you here." "We were visiting the bazaar." "I wanted to see you too." "Did you come here alone, Your Majesty?" "I came here with my Vizier Ferhat Pasha, he's outside." "He is talking with the people." "Ferhat Pasha won't be hearing nice things from your subjects." "Why is that?" "Most of the requests in this basket are complaints regarding Ferhat Pasha." "They are asking us for help, Your Majesty." "What are they complaining about concerning Ferhat Pasha?" "I am ashamed to read them, Your Majesty." "Bribery, extortion and so on." "He who makes a mistake shall pay for it." "Like Piri Mehmet Pasha?" "We need to see the Grand Vizier İbrahim Pasha." "We have brought a letter from His Majesty, Sultan Süleyman Khan." "İbrahim is a pasha?" "Who are you?" "Me?" "I am his father." "I am honoured, sir." "İbrahim Pasha is the Grand Vizier of the Empire." "He went to the forest with his brother." "He should be back soon." "Come, wait inside." "Come." "Are you hungry?" "I have some fish if you'd like." "Don't be unfair, Hodja." "Being unfair is the worst sin." "Don't ignore the truth just because Piri Pasha is your niece." "It is obvious that what happened to Piri Pasha was unfair, Your Majesty." "Were you not with us to see what happened in Rhodes?" "I gave the seal back to him." "Why?" "Because we needed to be one while fighting the infidels." "How many people died because of his wrong decision?" "You have shed tears for our losses." "You have forgotten." "But I have not." "It was time." "I did what was necessary." "You gave Piri Pasha's seal to the Concierge İbrahim." "Him being in that office is against the ways of the Empire." "I can't say anything about Ferhat Pasha." "You know what is said about him." "Ahmet Pasha is worthy of that office because of his experience." "You didn't think it through." "What he deserved..." "I decide who deserves what, Hodja Effendi." "I give everyone what they deserve." "And if it is needed I will take the office I gave and take the head of the one who represents that office." "The Grand Vizier İbrahim Pasha is here." "Sultan Süleyman wrote you a letter." "We were waiting for you, my Pasha." "His Majesty sent you this letter." ""I order you to come back." "But I don't know if you'll find here as you left it." "Don't even think about staying in Parga." "They were ordered to bring you back here." "If you are going to die you are going to die here, by my side."" "His Majesty, Sultan Süleyman Khan!" "I've been waiting for you for hours." "Please listen to me." "Your Majesty." "I know that you don't even want to see my face however sad it makes me." "I haven't been able to contact you for days." "I was repeatedly turned back from this door." "I've listened to you and Mother my whole life." "I've taken everything you said as an order." "I was content with the fate you had chosen for me." "I would rather die than embarrass you." "I will make your wish a reality." "Do not doubt it." "I will wait for my fiancé Çelebi Mehmet to get better." "Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "İbrahim Pasha gave up his position and left." "It was because he respected you so much." "I also gave up my heart's desires." "My only wish is that you spare his life." "Let İbrahim live." "I am begging you." "You are dismissed, Hatice." "My Sultan." "The news we were waiting for has come." "His Majesty is back in the palace." "I need to see him immediately." "I have to go back to the capital." "I am leaving now." "We are coming with you." "You can't go alone." "I have found you so late I won't let you go." "We are coming with you." "Stay here, father." "It is safer that way." "Brother, if you are going to your own death, we're coming too." "Understand?" "We won't be separated again." "I won't let him take you!" "We are going to be together even if we have to die for it!" "I don't want to talk about Hatice." "I am not going to talk about that matter anymore." "It is time that we talk about Lady Hürrem." "What about her?" "They've found a body in the harem today." "One of your favourites, Lady Ayşe." "Somebody slit her throat." "What does it have to do with Hürrem?" "It does have something to do with her." "Because Lady Hürrem is the killer." "Everything points to her." "Where are you, Süleyman?" "Come and save me." "You came, Süleyman." "You came to save me." "You are the mother of my children." "You were my joy, peace and blessing." "I have missed you many times." "What did you do, Hürrem?" "Have you become a murderer?" "How can I sleep next to you now?"
