The events and characters in this series are inspired by history.

Suleyman.

The Sultan of my soul,

I firstly greet you and kiss your sacred hands.

If you ask how I feel...

...your miserable and helpless concubine is watching out for you.

Your Majesty, I feel ashamed of writing these...

...but you should know.

They burned me, the mother of your five children...

...your love, your wife!

They hit me without blinking an eye, without pity!

They insulted me!

Moreover, those are the closest to you did this to me.

They had this done to me.

They antagonized the whole harem against me.

They sic the concubines on me.

Sultana Hatice opened up her palace for me.

She has been taking care of me for days.

I am alive thanks to her.

However, my wounds are deep.

I am heartbroken.

I don't know how much longer I can endure.

I am in a great grief and fear and trembling.

Because death is all around the palace.

And even I may already have breathed my last breath...

...while you are reading this letter.

I have no support and shelter...

...but you.

Help, Suleyman!

Help me!

Please come back now!

I don't care about myself anymore.

I am actually concerned about our children.

I'm worried about my children's life in that palace.

I gave them in Sultana Hatice's safe hands.

If I can't see your sacred face again...

...you should know that I love you more than anything, Suleyman.

Whatever happened to me happened because of this.

I surely accept it.

If the price of this love is my life, I can die a thousand deaths.

Your worthless concubine, Haseki Hurrem.

Ibrahim Pasha?

My Prince.

What is it? Is it bad news?

No, it isn't.

You look so pale. Tell me what it is.

-It is nothing, My Prince. -Pasha!

-A fire broke out in harem. -Oh, my God!

-Don't worry, everyone is alright. -My mother? My siblings?

They are fine, thank goodness. There is no problem.

-Does my father know yet? -Not yet, My Prince.

Your Highness, don't. Where will you go?

Nigar, I will go home, to my palace.

Nothing can separate me from my children!

Hurrem? What is happening?

Your Highness, she wants to go to the palace.

No, Hurrem. You absolutely can not. You are not going anywhere.

Your Highness, I'm grateful to you.

-But-- -You should recover first.

Gulfem is right. You can't leave before you recover.

You should actually stay here until His Majesty returns from the campaign.

Who are you protecting me from, Your Highness? From your mother?

What kind of woman is she? She even survived in those flames.

This is worse than dying for her.

She can't go out in public with that face now.

I've hears she vows for vengeance.

She will tell His Majesty everything when he returns.

She will, but she can't prove anything.

-Her Highness is here. -Is it my Hatice?

-Come on, man! -Hold on, man, hold on.

Six, five.

No, you prayed.

The other side helped you. No.

I swear I'll pray for you to go under the Golden Horn.

Blow! Blow it!

Back off!

God, give me patience!

Aghas, stop this!

Sumbul Agha, Gul Agha!

Oh, Nigar Kalfa...

Welcome. What happened?

Sultana Hurrem is here.

Take the measures now. There shouldn't be another incident.

Why are you here? I ordered you to stay there until you recover.

I came to show you your achievement, Your Highness.

Get well soon.

Don't worry, it will recover, inshallah.

Get well soon.

This injuries are nothing. Of course, they will recover.

But...

...you caused such deep wounds...

...in my heart, in my soul...

What does it have to do with us?

You failed again, Your Highness. You couldn't kill me.

And every time, I kept coming back stronger.

It will be the same again.

I understand your anger. What happened is not acceptable.

But watch your words. What are you accusing me of?

You turned the harem against yourself. Stop blaming the others.

You hoisted with your own petard.

I also punished everyone who took part in the riot.

What else do you expect me to do?

You will tell these to His Majesty, not me.

I have sent a letter to him.

I told him everything clearly.

Your Majesty.

What is it in your hand?

Documents received from the treasurer in the capital, Your Majesty.

Is there anything about the harem?

There is nothing important, Your Majesty. It is written everything is in control.

Good.

Do you think my lion will believe your slanders?

How will you prove what you say?

It was not me who wrote the letter, Your Highness.

Someone else also signed the letter.

Who is that?

The person who you and His Majesty trusts the most.

Daye?

Is that true?

His Majesty said that he would consider all insults towards me...

...as it was done towards him.

I leave you first to the mercy of mighty God.

And then to His Majesty.

Leave us alone.

Your Highness, God spared your life.

Your Highness, welcome. You brought joy!

I prayed so much for you. Thank God you are back.

-How are my children? -Thank goodness, they are alright.

If you would like to see them...

No, not now.

Not when I look like this.

How can you do this to me Daye?

I'd expect it from anyone, but I'd never expect you to betray me.

-What a pity! -Never!

I didn't betray you, Your Highness.

Was Hurrem lying?

-No. -Are you mocking me?

Of course not!

I just do my duty, Your Highness.

As you know, the order and peace of harem are the essentials for me.

I am responsible of protecting His Highness and his harem.

Sultana Hurrem is the solemnized wife of his Majesty.

How could I keep silent to the cruelty done to her?

How could I live with it?

Do you think you can teach me the orders and the duties?

Who do you think you are fooling? Obviously, you have taken her side!

You are also in this betrayal.

If saving Her Highness' life...

...and reporting it to His Majesty is wrong...

...then I accept it.

I also accept my punishment.

I will surely make my decision on your future.

Now, get out of my sight! I don't want to see you!

Your Highness, I came as soon as I heard you were back.

Aybige, I'm glad to see you.

Are you alright?

How can I be?

Look at me.

Look what they've done to me.

Forgive me.

I couldn't prevent it.

Don't you say that.

I'm grateful to you. Thank you.

You did your best.

I owe you a life.

Your Highness.

You are finally back.

Matron Daye, what happened there?

Why do you ask? Don't you have anything to do?

-You did the right thing. -I don't know If it is right or wrong.

I only know that I will no longer find peace in this harem.

What are you doing here?

Your Highness, what is my mistake? What did do to you?

Do you think I don't know what you've done?

You are with them, too! You betrayed me! Get out!

-Your Highness, I-- -I said get out!

I don't want to see you.

Sumbul, throw her out. She shall never come here.

Keep this traitor away from my children.

Your Highness, don't!

Show mercy on me I swear I am innocent!

Your Highness!

-What did you do? -I swear I didn't do anything.

-I'm innocent. -Hush!

There is no smoke without fire.

Come on, go.

Girls, I want you to take care of Nora.

What's wrong with her?

Don't even ask.

She experienced the wrath of Sultana Hurrem.

What had happened? Is not she her concubine?

She blames her for what happened to her, too.

I don't know what she has done.

We could barely saved the poor girl.

Your Majesty, a fleet of Andrea Doria...

...that took advantage of that we are on campaign...

...have attacked to Moran, but they couldn't break the line of defence.

Then they attacked to Koroni and invaded there.

Haven't Barbaros sent a note yet?

Hayreddin Pasha received the news himself.

He started to pursue Andrea Doria, but he acted early and is escaping now.

His King Charles the Fifth is doing the same, I'm not surprised.

We have captured 100.000 captives, lots of castles and spoils of war.

Your Majesty, we have entirely invaded Austria.

On the other hand. Charles the Fifth show the white feather to face an army against.

The weather will get bad soon, Your Majesty.

It is understood that Charles the Fifth will not face us once again.

He will try to hit us from back, through the sea...

...using his supporters like Andrea Doria and others.

Take all measures on the sea, Ibrahim Pasha.

Pashas! Beys!

With Allah's permission and your superior effort...

...it is time to return from this campaign victoriously.

Start your preparations now, we are going back to the capital.

-Welcome, Sahip Giray Khan. -My Prince.

-I bless your first campaign. -Thank you.

Starting to serve to the Supreme Ottoman State is a great honour for me.

Your father is a great warrior. I hope you'll be a good commander as good as him.

My only wish is to be like my father.

My Prince.

-Sahip Giray Khan. -Bali Bey.

His Majesty will accept you to his presence.

Your Majesty.

Your Grace.

This campaign has ended.

Sahip Giray Khan, we are going back.

You thoroughly accomplished all the missions I gave to you.

It is a great honour for me to fight for you and your path, your Majesty.

It is time to end the fight for the throne in Crimea.

Go back to Crimea.

And take the throne you deserve. You have my full support.

May God bless you, Your Majesty.

Your wounds are almost recovered.

I may bring a mirror for you to see if you like.

I don't want to.

Didn't I tell you to get rid of all the mirrors?

I apologize.

Your Highness.

What is it, Sumbul?

This letter is for you.

From the Imperial Campaign.

From the Grand Vizier.

Ibrahim?

You have summoned me, Your Highness.

Come closer, Daye.

If you didn't have a good name here for years...

...I would make you regret for the day you were born.

I will be merciful.

You will keep working in the palace.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your mercy--

But there's a price for every mistake, Daye.

You will pay the price.

You are not my chamberlain anymore.

Additionally, I take all your authority from you.

You will serve only as a harem kalfa.

As you approve, Your Highness.

You may take your leave.

Your Highness.

I firstly salute you and wish you to get well soon.

I know about the letter you have sent to His Majesty.

I have read what happened to you feeling sorrow.

I fortunately have received the message that you have recovered and are healthy.

That is why I didn't inform His Majesty.

He doesn't know about the incidents.

I'd be surprised if you didn't prevent it.

As you know, we are on campaign for a long time.

I didn't want to make his Majesty upset under these conditions.

As you would appreciate, the truth behind this incident...

...would hurt his Majesty dearly and disturb him.

It is no good for anybody.

Keeping it as a secret would be benefit everyone.

Well, smoked cheese...

...a little date palm and crushed walnut.

Make a small pack, I'll take it to my room.

You know I have sleeping problems lately, Seker Agha.

Agha, don't get mad but I really can't.

Why not?

-I have a big deficit this month. -You do always when I ask something!

-Oh, please... -"Oh please..."

Seker Agha, give him whatever he wants. It's on me.

-What is it? To what do I owe this? -It's nothing.

I have a stroke of great luck.

Gone is the Daye, long live Sumbul Agha!

Precious Sumbul Agha!

Did you lose your mind? Did you have a dream?

Didn't you hear that?

The Queen Mother has dismissed Matron Daye.

She will appoint me instead.

You dishonest!

Instead of being sorry for the poor woman you will almost dance on air.

And how do you know she'll appoint you?

It's not like she will appoint you.

Sumbul Agha, the Queen Mother summons you.

Promotion is coming!

You are finished Gul Agha, I will eat you alive...

Matron Daye.

Is what I have heard true?

What will happen now? What will you do?

Stop talking as if you don't know, Nigar.

I have nothing to do.

I'll suffer the consequences.

Don't you be upset. It won't last long.

You know, nobody can manage harem like you.

It would be a mess in in a couple days. Your door will be knocked for help.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I have dismissed Matron Daye.

As you surely appreciate, Your Highness.

However, Matron Daye is an important person.

Her duty is also difficult, it is tedious.

It requires experience.

How are we going to replace her?

Nobody is indispensable.

Also, I found someone to replace her.

I have no doubts that you have made the best decision.

Everyone should know that, from now on..

...my chamberlain and the treasurer of the harem is...

...Gulshah Hatun.

Thank you so much, Your Highness.

It is an honour.

I am grateful.

You may take your leave.

Your Highness.

What am I going to do, Seker Agha?

If this demon becomes the treasurer...

...he would walk over me like Azrael.

You are lucky, Agha. Sultana Hurrem will protect you.

I am the one who is in big trouble.

Speak of the good man and he bound to appear!

Congratulations, Agha. I think we should celebrate this.

Should we go to the tavern tonight, Seker Agha?

-That'd be great! -Would that be really great?

Your eyes got bigger and you started shaking your body right away.

Give me water.

Oh God...

Here, Agha.

What is wrong?

This is the end...

The Queen Mother didn't choose me.

That's the right thing to do.

She's the great Queen Mother. She knows what's right or wrong, doesn't she?

Okay but who did she choose?

Did she choose me?

May God damn you. Why would she choose you?

Then who is it?

That Gulshah the devil.

What? Gulshah the devil?

Oh! I insulted her so much!

I insulted her! I gossiped about her!

And she heard most of them. Oh, my God!

Oh my!

This is the end of us...

From now on, harem is in my responsibility, girls.

Watch your steps. I am not like others.

The rules will be followed in the most appropriate way.

I won't forgive even a small mistake...

...and kick you out.

But if you follow the rules...

...and obey me...

...harem will be a paradise for you.

Now, everyone, get back to work.

-Nora. -Yes, Gulshah Hatun.

We know about the strike of Sultana Hurrem.

I am sure now you know to whom you will serve.

Fear not. Sultana Mahidevran is merciful to everyone.

If you prove yourself and offer your loyalty...

...you will rise quickly and have a position you'd never expect.

-You wanted to see me, Your Highness? -I've heard what happened to you, Daye.

This happened because of me.

Rest assured, Your Highness.

I am not complaining.

I will talk to His Majesty and solve this matter.

Thank you.

However, we shouldn't bother His Majesty with such an unimportant matter.

What will happen then? This is not fair.

You may settle in the ranch house I've given you if you like.

You can live there in peace...

...and silence without anyone disturbs you.

Huh? What do you think?

I can't leave, Your Highness.

I can't go away.

I can't leave the Queen Mother alone.

-But she left you. -She will surely understand me one day.

I don't think so. Anyway...

I am here. If you have a problem...

...come to me first.

-Your Highness. -What is it?

Have you heard?

They have replaced Matron Daye with Gulshah.

Do you see?

The tail wags the dog.

I have talked to the concubines, too.

You will report to me from now on.

You are no longer dealing with Gulshah the concubine you have despised.

You will obey me.

You will follow my orders without complaining.

Understood?

Gul Agha?

-Huh? -No, "Huh?", Gul Agha.

You will say, "Yes, Gulshah Hatun."

-Yes, Gulshah Hatun? -Have you understood what I've said?

I have.

Sumbul Agha? You?

I won't ask you again, Sumbul!

I understand, Gulshah...

...Hatun.

Nice.

Everyone, get back to your business now.

Come on, hurry up!

Where is Hurrem? Why she isn't here?

I have no information, Your Highness.

She will play the victim, of course she won't be here.

She was taken a little ill. It may be because of that.

Aybige, what did I tell you?

She could at least bring my grandchildren.

Disrespectful woman!

Make way! His Majesty Sultan Suleyman Khan!

And His Highness Prince Mustafa!

Mother.

Welcome my lion.

-I've been yearning for you. -So have I, mother.

My Mustafa...

-How are you, my little lion? -Thank you, Your Highness.

-Gulfem Hatun. -Welcome.

-Mother. -My Mustafa!

Mother, where are Hurrem and my children?

I have been told that Hurrem is taken a little ill.

I hope it is not something bad. What is her illness?

Private Chamberlain.

Why are you here?

I summoned Matron Daye.

The Queen Mother has dismissed her.

I'm the treasurer now.

You should discuss everything about harem with me from now on.

What's the matter? Why was she dismissed?

This is what the Queen Mother wanted.

Make way! His Majesty Sultan Suleyman Khan!

-Hurrem! -Suleyman...

My heavenly Sultana...

Please, go away.

You shouldn't see me like this.

My Hurrem?

They have just informed me.

I heard that a fire broke out in the palace.

Thank God, he spared your life.

Is this what they've told you?

What does it mean?

They burned me, Suleyman!

They wanted to kill me by burning!

I could barely save myself.

Ibrahim...

I missed you so much.

Me too.

Every campaign feels more difficult than the previous one.

Every separation is more bitter than the previous one.

Every time you leave...

...time stops for me.

I spend days and nights by thinking of you.

How are our children?

They are alright, thank goodness.

I missed them a lot.

I wrote everything happened to me, I explained them.

Matron Daye is also my witness.

I had her written the letter.

I don't know about such a letter.

Ibrahim prevented, he didn't give you the letter.

He didn't want you to get upset.

What are you saying, Hurrem?

Only God and I know what I have been through.

Aybige Hatun and Matron Daye saved me.

If they weren't there...

Look at me!

It's been months I haven't left my chamber.

I didn't show them my face for even once...

...so that my children wouldn't be scared of me.

No!

No...

How many deaths should I die, Suleyman?

What is my mistake?

Why do they keep doing this to me?

They wanted to take you, my children and my beauty away from me.

When will this hostility end?

Attention!

Make way! His Majesty Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Leave me alone with my mother!

Is what I've heard true?

What? What have you heard?

You told me a fire broke out in harem, but I learned that it was a riot.

Hurrem was attempted to be murdered.

It is true, yes.

I didn't want to talk about it in front of everyone.

I was going to tell you that in the evening.

Mother, I wanted you to take care of Hurrem while I was leaving.

However, I see that my words do not have a value for you.

I will get the bath ready for you, my Mustafa.

You should have a good rest.

You know, you've come a long way.

I couldn't see your concubine Elif Hatun among the girls in the courtyard.

Poor thing died during the fire.

How did Sultana Hurrem get burned?

This is what happens when she stirs up the trouble.

She had a narrow escape.

Do you have anything to do with that fire?

-What kind of a question is that? -Answer me, mother.

-No, I don't. -Good.

Do not ever take part in such vicious games.

Do not hurt the innocent ones.

Don't rise to that bait, my lion.

They tease you against me.

This is Hurrem's own mistake.

She divided harem into two.

She spared golden coins just to get supporters.

And the ones who didn't get anything got disturbed.

They fought with each other.

Lastly, there was a theft incident.

When the concubine set herself on fire saying she didn't do it...

...things got messier.

They blamed Hurrem.

Before we even understood what happened...

...they turned harem upside down and started a fire.

Fortunately, she was saved.

Everyone who took part in the riot...

...and was negligent got punished.

Hurrem thinks that you started this fire, mother.

-And do you believe that? -She has Daye as her witness.

Daye tries to save herself.

I dismissed her because she was negligent during the riot.

That's why she must have said that.

Since you have lost Matron Daye...

She has been your companion for forty years.

Mother, be careful.

As you can not manage harem appropriately...

...you are getting lonely.

His Highness Sultan Suleyman Khan!

My Hurrem...

Suleyman...

The most beautiful woman of our time, my darling...

My only wife in two worlds.

Look at my face.

You don't deserve ugliness, Your Majesty.

You better not see it.

You better not see it until I recover.

I love you in all aspects.

I made you the jewel in my crown.

Come with me.

Come.

Mustafa.

-Welcome. -Welcome you.

You were gone for months.

What is this?

They are celebrating our victory everywhere.

I must admit that I was very jealous of you.

I wish I could go to campaigns with you.

It was a great experience for me.

However, Charles was scared. He couldn't face us.

I would like to join a pitched battle.

We were prepared for that, but it didn't happen.

Have you met my father?

I have, and I was very happy.

He joined us with his thirty thousand soldiers.

He sacrificed himself on His Majesty's path without even thinking.

Does Sahip Girah Khan love you the most among his children?

He kept asking about you.

Suleyman, stop!

Please stop...

I don't want you to see my ugly face.

How could my eyes see you ugly?

Is that even possible?

Don't you know that I keep breathing as long as I look at you?

Stop, woman. Why are you here?

I am here to clean Our Prince's chamber.

Are you the one they've sent you?

Alright, come in.

Forgive me, My Prince.

Calm down.

Don't worry, it is alright.

You are shivering.

What's wrong? Are you alright?

It is because I am excited, My Prince.

Feel how my heart beats.

Forgive me.

Your Highness.

Welcome, Your Grace.

Look.

I'm here again.

They couldn't kill me.

I sent you a letter.

I read it.

You protect them again.

Because...

...you have common interests.

On the contrary, I am responsible to protect you.

This incident that happened during my absence made me pretty upset.

His Majesty kept me responsible about you.

Did he?

So, he kept a wolf responsible about the lambs.

I have nothing to do with this incident.

On the contrary...

...I especially warned Matron Daye and Nigar Kalfa before I left.

They were charged with protecting you.

Stop the Queen Mother, Ibrahim.

Otherwise...

...I'll have to stop her.

Good morning.

To you too, my lion.

-Could you rest well? -Yes, I'm fine.

I am going to Enderun school now.

Your Highness. My Prince.

I am deeply sorry.

I heard you got wounded.

W-what?

What wound?

It happened while I was fighting with the enemy, but don't worry.

It isn't something important. I have already recovered.

Oh, my God... Even the thought of it is terrifying.

What if something happened to you?

-What would I do? -I am fine.

My Mustafa, I want you to promise me.

From now on, no matter what...

...you will think of yourself first.

You will protect yourself. You will stay away from danger.

Alright, mother, I promise.

Excuse me.

Gulshah.

I want you to organize a party for my Mustafa.

My lion should be amused.

Your Majesty, you summoned me.

Whatever you have hidden from me...

...will not make you powerful, Ibrahim.

It would make you a coward.

If you mean the riot...

-...please let me explain it. -This has no explanation, Ibrahim!

How dare you to hide it from me?

For you, Your Majesty.

The matter is pretty sensitive.

As you know, we were on a campaign.

I didn't want you to get upset and keep your mind busy with such incident.

Also...

...I had received the good news about Her Highness.

I learned you wrote a letter to Hurrem!

What was your purpose? To sweep it under the carpet?

I gave the responsibility of Hurrem's life right here!

I told you I would blame you if she slipped and fell down!

Is this how you protect her?

I wanted to solve the problem without disturbing you.

I wouldn't like you to be caught between the two fires.

Between the two fires?

Is that so?

As you know,

Her Highness believes that...

...the Queen Mother has a hand in this heinous attack.

I... I do not regard it is possible.

However...

...if it is as they say...

...then this is beyond my depth, Your Majesty.

Nergis, get ready.

Yesim, you should get ready, too.

Nora.

You should get ready, too.

You will attend the entertainment for our Prince tonight.

-Me? -Yes.

Why are you surprised?

Don't you want to be at our Prince's presence?

Of course, I do.

I would be honored.

Nice.

Alright, girls. Go now.

Where did this entertainment come from?

Should I ask for your permission?

Does the Queen Mother know about it?

You won't interfere in such matters anymore, Matron Daye.

Be grateful for what you get...

...and remain silent.

-Who are you to talk-- -Who are you actually?

I manage harem now.

Remember?

Now, go and start the preparations, and don't bother me.

Your Lordship.

His Majesty wanted to see me.

You may get in. He is waiting for you.

Come with me.

-Your Majesty. -Aybige Hatun.

I brought you the greetings of your father.

I missed my father so much. How is he?

Mashallah, I saw him pretty fine.

We saw him off to Crimea.

I officially assigned your father as Khan of Crimea.

He's the only owner of the throne now.

So, it is time for me to leave now.

Not yet.

Everything must be settled down there first.

You will of course leave when peace and safety is set.

As you may approve, Your Majesty.

Additionally...

...your father has a gift for you.

Your Majesty.

Come, Malkocoglu.

Accompany Aybige Hatun.

She will see the gift of Giray Khan.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Please.

What is it that riot matter?

Is Sultana Hurrem telling the truth?

Is the Queen Mother the responsible?

Do you think something else is possible, Your Grace?

Who could dare that?

I witnessed it.

They didn't dismiss Matron Daye in vain.

Why didn't you protect her then?

Didn't I tell you to watch over her?

Gul Agha and I didn't even take a break.

We protected her for months.

But at that night incident took place, they tied our hands.

They locked Gul Agha in the laundry room.

And Sultana Mahidevran withheld me in her chamber.

I see.

Tell the Queen Mother that I'd like to talk to her.

Your Grace.

I had been waiting for you for months.

I'd been yearning for you.

Thank goodness, you have returned.

Wait for me tonight.

Malkocoglu.

Won't you ask how I am doing?

It has been so long.

You talk like you miss me.

Don't make me regret for asking. Why should I miss you?

But you obviously missed me.

As you watch from the terrace what I am doing...

There is no such thing.

I went out to the terrace to watch the fireworks.

So? Where is my gift?

Thank you so much, Malkocoglu!

You made me so happy!

Nora Hatun.

What is this? What are you doing here?

I will attend the entertainment for the Prince, Agha.

Is that so?

Shame on you!

You sold out Her Highness.

What a pity...

And you told you were innocent.

Is that how they reward you?

She walked over me while I didn't have any mistake.

What's happening here?

Nothing. We were just talking.

Leave the girl alone.

Stay away from her!

Don't make her a part of your filthy games.

This is an order, Gul Agha.

Now, go and find Sumbul. You will prepare the concubines together.

Welcome, Your Highness.

You too.

My Hatice will finally feel peaceful.

She was alone for so long.

Yes, I am listening to you.

Your Highness, I have talked to His Majesty.

He is pretty restless because of what happened.

He's concerned about the safety and order of the harem.

If the peace won't be set immediately...

...decisions that will make you upset may be made.

Will he kick me out of the palace?

Or will Hurrem rule the harem?

This enmity must end immediately, Your Highness.

Or at least it has to look like that.

What is on your mind?

I have invited His Majesty and Sultana Hurrem for dinner.

It would be very good if you also attend.

We should settle this matter amicably at His Majesty's presence.

What do you think?

The hands are the magic of the dance.

You will take this...

...it should flow like this.

Like a snake...

You will look in the Prince's eyes over your shoulders.

Your heart will beat like...

Beat like this.

You'll be even more lithe.

Let yourself go.

You will look right into the Prince's eyes.

You will drain your heart into the Prince's heart.

What are you laughing at, you beast?

This isn't dancing! Get off!

-Go away! -Get off!

What matters is the body language.

What do the eyes tell?

What do the arms tell?

Here and there...

What do they tell?

All should become one.

All is one.

Your behind...

...will shoot like a Vienna cannon. Shoot it! Shoot it!

Then, let it flow.

Let it flow.

Let it flow. All is one.

Not separate, it is one.

Oh! That's so funny!

Do you call this dancing?

Move! Move!

As I say, you will look delicate.

You should have the moves.

Move your body to a little right.

Move your body to a little left.

Your belly will circle in like this.

And right into the Prince's eyes.

Never learn dancing from a caveman.

Shut up!

Yes.

The whole body becomes one.

Left.

Right, middle.

Left.

Simple.

-Simple. -Get out of here!

-What? -"Left, right! Left, right!"

You should add more moves.

Take, give.

Take, give.

Throw your heart and take it back.

Take, give. Take give.

Take, give. Take give.

You will shake it around here.

Then, it is right to the Prince.

I have tutored a lot of concubines like you.

Watch and see.

Gulshah what is that doing here?

Isn't she Hurrem's concubine?

Sultana Hurrem kicked her out of her chamber when he returned to the palace.

And she ignores her for two months.

I have chosen her especially.

Sultana Hurrem will be very upset when she sees her with us.

Good idea.

My Prince.

What is it Gulshah? What is happening?

Sultana Mahidevran wanted me to organize an entertainment for you.

Please.

Welcome, Your Majesty.

It is a great honour to host you.

My Hatice, you are so beautiful.

Your Majesty.

Hurrem. How are you?

Thank you, Your Highness. I feel better.

Please come in.

I invited Her Highness, Your Majesty. She graced us by attending.

Mother.

We may move to the dinner if you like.

We had the dishes made especially for you.

My Sultana took care of them herself.

They are very delicious, my Hatice.

I wish you enjoy it, Your Majesty.

Do you also like them, Hurrem?

I do.

Thank you, Your Highness.

We hadn't gathered for a long time.

This has been good.

Yes. As you know...

...incidents haven't had an end.

Those days are over, Hurrem.

Aren't they, mother?

Inshallah.

This is what I hope for.

But I am hopeless.

Especially, after the marriage that was solemnized in this palace.

May God show no other sorrow to our dynasty.

Your Majesty, would you excuse me? I would like to go back...

Don't take it personally, Hurrem.

This is a matter among the family.

Hurrem is a member of our family, mother.

No matter if you agree or not, nobody can change this fact.

It is understood that there's no place for me around this table.

Mother?

Your Highness.

Don't waste your breathe in vain, Pasha.

-I won't bow to that woman! -No one ask you for that, Your Highness.

No power can get me side by side with her anymore.

Your Highness, your behaviour is only serving her interests.

The more his Majesty gets away from you, the closer he will get to her.

My lion has already walked over me. What a pity.

Hurrem has him in her pocket.

Your Majesty.

Your favourite dessert was prepared. Would you like some?

I have had enough.

-What about you, Hurrem? -Me too.

How are the twins?

-We couldn't see them. -They are sleeping.

-We can see them if you like. -Alright.

Your Majesty?

We will be upstairs.

Your Majesty, forgive me.

The Queen Mother told me that she would settle this matter amicably.

Some people never change, Pargali.

The effort you showed to change them...

...makes them only more complicated.

Oh, mashallah...

I see you are in good mood, and you are happy.

They've seen the Prince. Of course, they are happy.

Then, keep being happy.

Especially you, Nora.

You have a stroke of great luck.

-Why, Sumbul Agha? -Our Prince liked you a lot.

He ordered you to go for the seclusion tomorrow night.

Sit down.

Sit down.

So, Private Chamberlain. You kept silent enough. Tell me your problem.

Never mind it, Matrakchi.

I don't want to give you a headache.

You would never do that.

Come on.

There is a woman.

No way!

A really beautiful woman. She is brave.

-She is fearless. -Who is that woman?

-Is it Elenika? -No!

Not her.

I really wonder who that unlucky woman is.

It's not like something will happen.

-I am just talking. -Why not, Bey?

I can't forget Armin, Matrakchi.

Her memory is great.

I feel like I betray on Armin.

Armin is dead, Malkocoglu.

Don't ever feel guilty.

She would also like you to be happy.

Aybige Hatun?

-Was it you? -I hope there isn't anything bad.

Where is the Private Chamberlain?

-I have something to talk to him. -He left long time ago.

Since His Majesty isn't here.

-Where is he? -He surely went to the tavern.

To Elenika.

Good night.

Your Grace.

I didn't know you were here. Why didn't you tell me?

We just stopped by on the way. We will leave.

I missed you so much.

When will we fulfill our longing?

Don't even touch him, Elenika.

-He is taken. -There's no such thing!

He is joking.

No, I won't give him to anyone.

Yeah, he can marry you if you like.

I wish...

Let's go home, Matrakchi.

You are a married man. You shouldn't get scolded by your wife.

Go home.

I have nowhere to go. My home is here.

Ibrahim Pasha set me on fire.

What does it mean?

Nothing.

Never mind. I'm just talking.

You look so beautiful.

I prepared for you.

I'm happy that you like it.

Do you think of me so much?

The only thing I keep thinking of is you.

I have waited for you to return from the campaign for months.

Feel how my heart beats.

Your Highness.

Tell me what happened.

How was the entertainment?

I have succeeded, Your Highness. Our Prince has chosen me.

I was summoned for the seclusion tomorrow night.

Well done, Nora. I knew I could trust you.

Come to see me tomorrow. Be careful.

No one should see you.

Come on, hurry up. Hurry up.

-Are you blind? Why don't you be careful? -I apologize, I will clean it right now.

"Apologize..." You half-wit!

Don't yell at her.

She said she will clean it.

Not her, you will clean it!

What did you say?

Are you deaf?

Clean this mess now! It will be so clean that you could eat off the floor!

Leave it!

You will also clean these!

-Gulshah... -I command you!

Will you disobey my orders?

I ask them, they say they were taken to Gul Agha, but you say no!

-I took them to the laundry room! -Don't lie to me!

-I don't lie to you! -Aghas, stop! You can't get in here.

-What is it? Is there cleaning here? -No, there isn't.

-It's forbidden. -Go away. What's forbidden?

It is Gulshah Hatun's order.

I can't let you in.

Gulshah is going beyond her limits.

I agree. That demon...

Aghas, I swear I have nothing to do.

You should go and talk to Gulshah Hatun. Come on.

Let's go.

Good morning.

Well, well. Look who is here.

Matron Daye?

-What are you doing? -She is doing her job.

You can help her if you like.

Don't you ever feel shame?

How could you do this? She is your elder!

Nigar! Stay out of this.

No way!

She should have thought that before she disobeyed me.

Oh, you...

You won't get away with this.

You won't get away with this!

Go to hell! Go tell this to anyone you like!

Zumrut? How was it last night?

Everything was alright, Your Highness. There wasn't any problem.

Was my Mustafa pleased?

Yes, Your Highness. One of the girls danced in such away...

...that our Prince summoned her for the seclusion tonight.

Who is she?

-Which concubine? -Nora.

Nora...

Now, listen to me carefully.

It is important to get in Prince Mustafa's chamber, but...

...what's more important is to get in his mind and to be permanent.

Tonight, your life will change.

You will either become a Sultana...

...or an ordinary concubine.

You must be very careful now.

Remember, your greatest weapon...

...is your body.

Your innocence, your beauty.

If you use them well...

...even the mountains crumble in front of you.

You will make Mustafa fall in love with you so badly that...

...he will blinded by you.

That he will do anything for you.

So, I can manage Mustafa however I wish.

Don't you worry, Your Highness.

Our Prince will never forget me after tonight.

I trust you.

You will be rewarded dearly for your service.

I have had a night gown made for you.

You will wear this.

You should look perfect tonight.

Well done.

What will happen now?

I saw red when I saw you like that.

And I can't believe you. Why did you do what she said?

I follow the rules, Nigar.

Don't you understand yet?

No one else but you follows the rules.

Stop talking and go away.

No.

We are together in this.

By the way, well done.

I felt better when you slapped her.

Go now.

You will also get in trouble.

I don't care.

It is better than to be under that crazy woman's command.

Matron Daye, Nigar Kalfa.

The Queen Mother summons you.

-Private Chamberlain. -Aybige Hatun.

How many times should I tell you?

It is not appropriate for you to come here.

If you have a request, send a message.

I came here last night, you weren't here. Where were you?

-I had things to do. -At night?

-What was it? -It doesn't concern you.

I am sure you were with Elenika.

Well, you are back from campaign. You must have been yearning for her.

Let's say I was with her...

What's it to you?

Or are you jealous?

Is Gulshah saying the truth?

Did you slap her? And in front of all concubines?

-Your Highness-- -I ask you if it is true.

Yes, that's true.

Tell me the punishment for that.

Because this is what you know the best.

Being dismissed from the palace.

If it is so, I dismiss you.

Pack your things.

You will be gone by first daylight.

Your Highness, she is innocent.

-Let me explain what happened. -We will follow the rules.

Please give me your blessings, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Forgive me.

But I don't understand you.

Why did you do this?

Does Matron Daye deserve this?

Stop defending Matron Daye against me, Gulfem.

She disappointed me so much.

I don't trust anyone now.

Your Highness.

What happened?

Will you leave without even saying anything?

What else I can do?

I will leave in the morning.

Maybe this is better.

I don't accept that you will leave silently.

And where will you go?

You will be like a fish out of water after forty years.

I will take care of myself.

Put your stuff back where they are. You are not going anywhere.

Your Highness...

You shouldn't be punished, on the contrary...

...you should be rewarded.

I won't allow this injustice. Especially, because of Gulshah!

Never.

Gulshah! Come here now!

Come!

Yes, Your Highness.

Didn't I tell you not to get under my feet?

Do you really want me to step on your tail?

-What did I do to you? -You will stay away from Matron Daye.

If I hear that you are disrespectful to her again...

...I will hang you by your feet.

So, everyone will spit on your face!

Go to Queen Mother now. Correct this mistake.

Or I will make your rat face flat!

Be careful.

Tonight may be your only chance.

Don't worry, Agha.

Do your best.

She is pretty nice.

What are you doing here?

Is it your job to rule this harem?

Will you decide on what's right or wrong now?

Be quiet.

Enough.

I won't be quiet. I'm not that easy touch anymore.

I can destroy you with the power I get from my Prince!

I swear I feel sorry for you.

What a miserable situation for a woman...

You don't see, you're blind.

You will burn Mustafa's fingers, too if you continue this.

I've had enough!

Apologize to Hurrem now.

I tell you to apologize to her.

Forgive me.

Our Prince isn't in her chamber.

What is this now?

You should get in. The Prince will be here soon.

Your Highness, please don't cry anymore.

Mother?

What happened? Why are you crying?

I have had enough, My Mustafa.

I can't stand this woman anymore!

Will you tell me what happened?

She cornered me again. She was insulting me.

And I told her, "I have a Prince, you can not treat me like this."

She walked over me, and I raised my hand to defend myself.

At that moment, His Majesty walked in and saw me like that.

He caught me by hand and wanted me to apologize to Hurrem.

And I asked for forgiveness from that woman by force!

That's enough, Mustafa! I can't take it anymore!

Mustafa!

Does Matron Daye deserve this?

They are kicking her out on the streets without mercy.

Where will she go at this age? What will she do?

I'm not pleased with the course of events, either.

The incidents in harem don't have an end.

I will take it in hand. I will solve the problems from the root.

How? What will you do?

My Mustafa?

Sultana Hurrem.

Please leave me and my father alone.

I have made my mother a promise, father.

I will protect her at the risk of my life.

I won't let her be upset.

I told you that, too.

This was why we went to Edirne.

But I see nothing has changed.

You still upset her, you still make her cry.

Didn't you tell me that the justice was the greatest value for you?

Is this your justice?

Who decides on our future, father?

You...

...or Sultana Hurrem?
