"The guards cannot get out." "Hatice!" "My daughter!" "My Sultan, Ayas Pasha has taken every precaution for the defence of the palace." "We would request that you and the prince go down to the cellar, just in case." "I will not go!" "I will not hide!" "What will happen to Hatice?" "What about my daughter?" "My sultan, steady your resolve." "We need you." "The entire harem is looking to you." "I told her not to go!" "She wouldn't listen." "My Sultan, please sit." "It is necessary that we go down to the cellar, my sultan." "Is it that bad?" "Ayas Pasha and the Valide Sultan have commanded it." "It pays to be prepared." "Gülnihal, Gülşah." "Come on." "What's happened?" "Why have we stopped?" "My sultan, there has been a rebellion." "The palace gates held by the janissaries." "The gates are closed." "You cannot enter." "No!" "I need to get to the palace!" "My children are there!" "My sultan, the only hope is to take sanctuary in İbrahim Pasha's palace." "Come on!" "Go!" "I have brought Vizier Ayas Pasha's letter from the capital." "I need to deliver it now!" "I will show you what it means to burn, you accursed creatures." "Go inside, come on." "Come on." "My Valide, the children are so afraid." "I know, go inside." "Come on." "Leave no one above." "Gather everyone to somewhere safe." "Do not be concerned, my sultan." "We are taking care of everything." "Okay." "Hurry up!" "Come together!" "There is a rebellion outside!" "Be quiet and listen to me!" "Everyone will stay in the palace cellars tonight." "Be quiet!" "You have got so used to comfort, haven't you?" "Our sultan and Valide Sultan are also in the cellars!" "Why are you complaining?" "Allah is great!" "Come on!" "Inside." "Şeker Agha!" "Yes, Sümbül Agha?" "What is this?" "Are we going on campaign?" "Are all these people going to starve?" "Okay, don't dawdle." "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "Allah give me patience!" "Close the doors!" "Close them." "The capital is burning." "I hope their hands burn!" "My sultan." "Calm down." "You will harm the baby." "Come this way." "Don't worry." "They will put it down quickly." "Look what's happening just when İbrahim is not here!" "Gülfem." "What if they come here?" "They are subjects of our padishah." "They wouldn't harm us." "That is a royal carriage." "I wonder if His Majesty has returned." "Come with me, Leo." "Let's inform the guards." "My sultan." "Hurry, my sultan." "We need to enter the palace at once." "Hurry!" "My prince!" "We must hurry." "Come on." "Leo, why are you here?" "Sadıka." "Where is our sultan?" "My Mustafa!" "Don't be afraid." "Hürrem, where is His Majesty?" "He sent us on ahead." "He is coming." "What if something happens to him?" "I couldn't go to the palace and my children." "May Allah protect them." "Go upstairs to the room." "Don't come out no matter what!" "Come on, Hürrem, upstairs." "My sultan." "Come, Leo." "My Valide, how much longer do we have to wait in this pit?" "We can do nothing but pray and trust in Allah." "Stop complaining and pray for our children." "For our capital." "They took advantage of His Majesty's and İbrahim's absence." "I told you so." "I told you it was bad luck." "Hürrem." "Control yourself." "This will end soon." "They are going to burn the palace." "They will burn the palace." "They're at the gates." "We need to go." "Where will we go?" "I don't know." "We'll escape out the back." "Come on." "Mustafa, it's okay." "My sultan, are you all right?" "Come, my prince." "Hatice!"
