"The events and characters in this show have been fictionalised based on history." "Sümbül Agha!" "Sümbül Agha!" "Sümbül Agha!" "Why are you shouting out there?" "May you be struck dumb!" "One of them calls me Sütlüm and the other Sümbül!" "It's Sümbül Agha!" "Tell me what's wrong." "Something happened to Hodja Efendi." "What happened?" "He was coughing a lot." "It was pretty bad." "I will go immediately, my prince." "Hodja Efendi...." "You are looking better today." "I would be better if I had received a letter from His Majesty." "It will come." "He will come if not the letter." "Maybe it has come and Mahidevran has taken it." "Hürrem Hatun, don't fill your head with such thoughts." "It's bad for you." "Congratulations." "Mashallah ." "I heard you gave birth to a beautiful little prince." "The Hodja coughed a lot and then fell." "Then what happened?" "Did he get up?" "My Sultan." "I informed the harem agha." ""I will give birth to a boy."" ""It will be a boy again."" ""It will always be a boy."" "Wasn't that what you said?" "The physician is waiting for us." "Let's go." "Yes." "I did say so." "I will give birth to many more princes." "But you won't even be able to give birth to a girl." "His Majesty will not touch you." "He will never want you." "Don't forget you said this, Hürrem Hatun." "I will make you eat your words." "I won't forget." "As you command, my Sultan." "Let's go, Nigar Kalfa." "Is he all right?" "What's wrong with him?" "I can't tell." "We should take him to the infirmary." "We can do whatever is required there." "He has a high temperature." "We will take him immediately." "Do whatever is required." "No, I don't want to go to the infirmary." "I will go home." "My mother will look after me." "It's just a cold." "It will pass once I rest." "I am imagining bad things, Daye." "This illness does not bode well." "Allah forbid, my Sultan." "They have only been engaged for a few months." "Come, Sümbül." "My Sultan." "How is the groom?" "The physician has examined him." "He wanted to move him to the infirmary." "Çelebi Mehmet Hodja wouldn't go." "We sent him home because he wanted to rest there." "He has caught a bad cold." "Çelebi Mehmet Hodja said it was because of his cold." "All right, you may go." "How can one collapse and break down with just a cold?" "We will do whatever you command, my Sultan." "Never mind, find another teacher for Mustafa immediately." "He mustn't fall behind with his classes." "I have had enough of Mahidevran." "Will I never be rid of her?" "Always before me, always making snide remarks." "Nasty comments." "Then don't answer her." "You never shut up." "I have no friends but you." "The harem hates me." "As if you don't hate them." "Count three people that you like." "See?" "No one." "You can't do it." "Do good to receive good in return." "Be nice to the girls." "You have opportunities." "Hand out gifts and gold." "Are they to be friends with me for gold?" "Do they love Mahidevran for gold?" "They both love and respect Mahidevran." "She is a generous Sultan." "I am a Sultan too." "I will be a better Sultan than her." "Not only the palace but the city the world will respect me." "I put two drops of the medicine in, my Sultan." "I have such a bad headache." "For your head...." "Well...." "I could do something with my fingers if you like." "It would do you good." "Go on then." "You are very skilled, Sadıka." "You are not neglecting your education, are you?" "I study when I have time, my Sultan." "Can you go lower towards my neck?" "That's it." "That's the spot." "Mother, are you unwell?" "I have a pain in my head and neck." "Come and sit over here." "Sadıka, that's enough." "You may retire." "I have just heard that Çelebi Mehmet is unwell." "My Mustafa was very scared." "It is nothing important." "They said it was just a cold." "Don't you worry, Hatice." "I hope it isn't something worse." "Allah forbid, he is still a young man." "He will recover in a few days once he is rested." "I hope it is not contagious." "Mustafa might get ill." "Both of you, calm down." "There is no such thing." ""Sultan Süleyman came back from the brink of death." "He is alive." "But I am here." "I am in the heart of the palace." "I am in the closest possible place to the Sultan and his family." "I await his return."" "What are you doing?" "Designing new galleys?" "Do I bother you when you write letters and ask to whom you send them?" "Oh, you are really angry with me." "Of course not." "No, you really are." "Who is the hatun?" "Is it Viktoria?" "Tell me." "All right, it is." "It's Viktoria." "I am drawing her so I don't forget." "How many months has it been?" "I forget her face sometimes." "It scares me." "It disappears from my mind." "It doesn't look like you have forgotten, Matrakçı." "You have drawn the hatun perfectly." "How tall is she?" "About this much?" "Or this much?" "She was slim." "As delicate as a bird." "Delicate." "She swayed like a cypress tree." "Her footsteps like feathers." "As if she isn't stepping." "She glides through the garden on hidden wings." "This hatun you are describing is not Viktoria." "Hürrem Hatun must be drowning you in gold." "You never leave her side." "You have become her mentor." "Not at all." "Where did you get that from?" "I just do my job." "My thoughts go as far as watching out for myself." "But your mind is busy, I see." "Have it your way." "I think you should stay out of it anyway." "Keep to your own path." "What is it?" "I understand." "I will give it to the signore at the port." "Boncuk Agha." "Sadıka, stop." "Nigar Kalfa, what is it?" "What have I done?" "Don't speak or I will crush you!" "Move!" "Come here." "What is this?" "I don't know, Sümbül Agha." "I haven't looked." "You don't know?" "Then why are you sweating?" "The concubine was most insistent." "She asked me to throw it in the sea." "Apparently she pledged a sacrifice." "It must fall in water." "It's a sacrifice, is it?" "I swear, that's what she said." "Come." "Look, it fell in water." "Look here." "Don't let it happen again." "Stay away from these things." "Or you will get yourself into trouble." "Watch out." "Now get back to work." "Come on." "As Allah is my witness, I am innocent!" "Nigar Kalfa, what did she do?" "Stay out of it Ayşe." "Look here." "Don't lie to me." "I saw with my own eyes." "What were you speaking of with Boncuk Agha?" "I was returning from the laundry!" "He stopped me and said:" ""You are very beautiful." "I am going to buy you gifts."" "He asked me what I wanted." "And what did you say?" "Why do you listen to such talk?" "Look away and keep walking!" "She must have asked for it." "Don't believe her, Nigar Kalfa." "No one believes me." "Even Ayşe won't speak to me." "She calls me a liar." "I have had enough!" "I have done nothing wrong!" "Look, if I see you there again I will rip out your blue eyes and put them in your hand!" "What have you done with this hand?" "Did you write the halberdier a letter?" "It happened today!" "I went to get the prince from class." "The Hodja fainted and fell." "He was ill." "I was helping him." "I spilled some on my hand then." "I washed it but it won't come off." "All right, stop crying." "Be careful, Sadıka." "I have my eye on you." "My dear prince." "Your father is coming." "He is returning to us." "A wonderful life awaits our family." "Sultan Süleyman will lay the world at our feet." "Girls!" "Gather round." "What is it, Nigar Kalfa?" "What are these chests?" "They contain your gifts." "You can all take whatever you like." "Who sent them?" "I sent them." "They are all yours." "Please enjoy them." "Go on, open them." "Make way!" "His Majesty Sultan Süleyman Khan!" "Mother!" "Thank Allah we are united again." "I thank Allah who brought you back to us, my lion." "We received such news...." "We were so worried." "Yes, we did return from the brink of disaster a few times." "Your prayers protected me." "But İbrahim defended me with his body." "We were attacked in Rhodes, İbrahim was wounded." "But he is all right." "He has recovered." "May Allah bless him." "My Hatice." "Welcome, Your Majesty." "Mustafa!" "My darling!" "You look well!" "You have grown." "You have grown too, Your Majesty." "Hürrem Hatun has given birth." "I'm sure you already know." "Has the prince been born?" "It's not a prince." "It's a girl." "My sister is very beautiful." "This is for you." "And this is for you." "Here you go." "This colour will suit you." "Ayşe, come." "This is for you." "Why are you handing out gifts?" "Sultan Süleyman is returning." "Allah protected him." "So I am rejoicing." "I wanted to share it with you." "You have become an angel." "I want peace." "I want to be friends with all of you." "Let's end this fight." "Let's have peace and prosperity." "This evening we will have a party." "With music and dancing." "Hürrem Hatun." "His Majesty is here." "He is with the Valide Sultan." "Is he really here?" "They said he was to come tomorrow." "Tell me the truth." "Is His Majesty in the palace?" "Come on, Hürrem Hatun." "I swear, His Majesty is here!" "Süleyman." "My Sultan." "Please forgive your servant." "I didn't give birth to a prince." "I had a daughter." "I am embarrassed." "I couldn't keep my word." "When the news that His Majesty was lost at sea reached the palace you should have seen the state of the harem." "His Majesty and you are both well loved, it seems." "We were all devastated." "Allah protected you." "Hürrem Hatun gave birth to a girl." "Allah made it so when she stubbornly insisted on a boy." "Is Sultan Hatice well?" "She is well." "She is well, but she seems troubled of late." "Why?" "Çelebi Mehmet is unwell." "He fainted and fell in the classroom." "He is resting now." "He hasn't managed to come to class for a while." "They have found the prince a new tutor." "What is wrong with him?" "They said it was just a cold." "But how can a cold be this bad?" "Allah forbid that it is something worse." "Your Majesty." "I am desperate." "I am afraid." "Forgive me." "Stand up." "How can I look at your blessed face?" "I said stand up." "My darling Sultan." "I missed you so much." "I cried so much." "What spell has fate cast on my eyes?" "Blood has flooded my tears." "Fate has let loose my tears." "When lions once shook in fear of the rage of my claws fate left me defenceless against a pair of beautiful eyes." "Beautiful." "Whose poem is this?" "Is it Muhibbi's?" "No." "This belongs to Muhibbi's father." "It is Sultan Selim Khan's poem." "He wrote it for the Valide Sultan Hafsa." "He must have been deeply in love." "What beautiful turn of phrase." "Mihrimah." "My mother gave her a beautiful name." "My beautiful, delicate daughter." "She looks like her mother." "Sultan Mihrimah will be beautiful and intelligent like her mother." "Do you like my daughter?" "She is my child too." "There is no difference between a boy or a girl." "She is of my blood, of my life." "She is a piece of the woman I love." "Are you going?" "Don't go yet." "I missed you so much." "I have important matters to attend to." "Concierge İbrahim has arrived from the palace, Effendi." "Invite him in." "Do I look well, Mother?" "You look fine, my son." "Be careful so he doesn't figure it out." "Get well soon, Çelebi Mehmet." "Please do not disturb yourself." "Rest." "Welcome, İbrahim Agha." "Thank you." "Welcome." "I would have wanted to meet His Majesty's glorious return at the palace but...." "You look after yourself." "I wish you a speedy recovery." "Please inform me if there is anything you need." "Thank you." "He's recovering swiftly." "As you can see he's past the dangerous stage." "Thank Allah." "I will make up Prince Mustafa's lessons as soon as I can." "Don't hurry." "And do not return until you are fully recovered." "On one hand we are preparing for the wedding." "We can have the wedding immediately now that His Majesty is back." "Please convey my regards to Sultan Hatice...." "Of course." "I will." "Do not tire yourself out." "I will visit again." "By your leave." "Gülfem Hatun." "I must see Hatice Hatun." "It is very important." "You must bring her to the fig grove tonight." "She is with the Valide Sultan." "I don't know how...." "Gülfem Hatun." "Tomorrow may be too late." "Tonight." "For sure." "Grand Vizier Piri Paşa is here, Your Majesty." "Show him in." "You summoned me, Your Majesty?" "You are late, Paşa." "The Council meeting lasted long." "Of course we had a lot to discuss." "Allow no one in, including İbrahim." "Please sit, Paşa." "We have an important matter to discuss." "It is time." "THE DIVINE COMEDY" "I am somewhere between heaven and hell." "I am in purgatory." "Is this how my life is to end?" "When I see your face the gardens of heaven open to me." "I walk towards the light of happiness." "When we are apart the fires of hell claim my soul." "I burn." "I rebel against fate." "I cannot." "Gülfem, I am an engaged lady." "How can we meet face to face?" "He said that it was very important." "He said that tomorrow may be too late." "If you had seen Pargalı's state...." "I cannot!" "I miss him so much." "What if I can't leave him once I see him?" "What if you regret this later?" "What if tomorrow is too late?" "Look how her nose is up in the air." "As if she is Haseki Sultan." "Never mind, let's just have fun." "Get along." "She wanted peace." "Here's peace." "Look at her behavior, her eyes." "Gülsah!" "I'm so bored." "Let's go out for a bit." "Let's go and see Sultan Hatice." "It would be more appropriate to see the Valide Sultan first." "Ask Hatice to come to me." "I want to show her these new parcels." "Sadıka, go and tell her to come." "And pass me that parcel." "We have stepped up the wedding preparations, my Sultan." "I have ordered those balls of silk from Bursa." "But they can only deliver the green fabric you liked two weeks later." "My Sultan, is there anything else you require?" "I want everything to be perfect for Hatice, Daye." "Çelebi Mehmet's mother has sent word." "They want to come the day after tomorrow to speak of the wedding." "Let's make it to spring when the weather is warmer." "And once Ramadan is over." "Sadıka, don't go." "Stay here." "I will go and get Sultan Hatice." "I will obey your command." "By your leave." "Good night." "Sleep in peace, Piri Paşa." "Is İbrahim in his chamber?" "He is, Your Majesty." "Shall we summon him?" "There is no need." "I will go myself." "My Sultan." "I have dreamt of this night for so long." "Our meeting in the gardens of heaven...." "Must remain a dream." "It cannot come true." "This is the last time, İbrahim." "This is the last time we stand in the moonlight as victims of our own despair." "You returned from the brink of death." "But I am now dead." "İbrahim?" ""I am somewhere between heaven and hell." "I am in purgatory." "Is this how my life is to end?" "When I see you face, the gardens of heaven open to me." "When we are apart, the fires of hell claim my soul." "I burn." "I rebel against fate."" "Could you not sleep, Pargalı?" "What's going on here?" "We are having fun." "We are celebrating His Majesty's return." "Would you like to join us?" "Don't do that girls." "You will tempt me into sin." "Allah, give me patience." "Don't do that!" "Where are these sounds coming from?" "I'm sure the favourites and concubines are singing and dancing together." "Let's go and join the fun." "It will cheer us up." "Let's go, my Sultan." "They are all so happy when they see you." "They admire you." "Where is Hatice?" "Is she not coming?" "She is not in her chamber, my Sultan." "Find her and tell her to come." "Where could she be at this time of night?" "Could she be ill?" "Allah forbid." "I will find her." "Do not be concerned." "Aghas!" "Find İbrahim immediately." "Bring him here from wherever he is." "As you command, Your Majesty." "I have so much to tell you." "But my tongue freezes." "I turn into an inexperienced little boy with you." "You have important news for me?" "I do, my Sultan." "And it is such news...." "I made you a promise before I set out for Rhodes." "Do you remember?" "I never forgot it." "You said that we would leave the palace together." "I told you that I would find a solution even if it was in the depths of hell." "I have found it, my Sultan." "Çelebi Mehmet is the solution." "What do you mean?" "I visited him today." "He is bedridden." "What did you speak of?" "My Sultan, we need to go." "People are coming." "Move over there." "Concierge!" "What is it?" "Why are you here?" "His Majesty has commanded us to take you to him." "All right, go on ahead." "I am coming." "I said go, I am coming." "What are you doing?" "Let go of me!" "Have you gone insane?" "They know!" "His Majesty will kill him!" "Let's go, my Sultan." "It's my fault." "What have I done?" "Let's go." "Who did they ask permission from?" "Who allowed them to do this?" "Apparently, you gave permission Sümbül Agha so allowed it." "That's a lie!" "I swear it is a lie!" "Who said that?" "Hürrem Hatun." "Allah!" "That woman will be the end of me." "Tell them to stop." "Now we are in trouble." "What?" "The party is over!" "Disperse!" "Stop!" "You are not going." "The party is only just starting." "Play." "Dance." "Come on, begin." "Your Majesty." "Your Majesty, you summoned me." "Have I done something wrong?" "Your Majesty, I...." "This is as far as it goes, Pargalı."
