The events and characters in this show have been fictionalized based on history.

Hurrem!

Let go of me!

Aren't you my closest friend?

You will find out...

...who committed this treachery.

Then you will tell me.

I am not sure what I can do, Hurrem.

You almost killed me.

Whoever that woman is...

...you will find her and bring her to me.

Or I will exile you from the palace, understood?

You will be sold as a slave.

Maybe they will throw you into the sea.

You started early with the map.

- I was like this yesterday. - I couldn't sleep, Your Majesty.

I see the Castle of Rhodes in my dream. They were pouring hot oil on us.

I dream about the walls we destroy, and raising our flag on the castle.

What is it? Are you frightened by the letter?

I am not scared.

But the Grand Master sounds scared. Are you going to answer him?

I will, Pargali. I will write a beautiful letter with my sword.

Did you speak to Matrakci?

Yes, I told him what we want.

He will set out in two days after he gets ready.

His drawings will be useful for us just like this map.

Good.

Lala Kasım Pasa has retired.

I wish he hadn't left before Rhodes.

I wanted him to.

Really? Why?

I felt like it, Pargali.

Lala Kasım Pasa.

What could he have done...

...to be forced out of his position?

Maybe it was voluntary.

Do you really have to look for a reason behind it?

Why would someone quit viziership?

Someone made this happen.

- I am sure of it. - Ahmed Pasa...

...you want to hold Pargali responsible for the smallest things.

How would he benefit from...

- ...Lala Pasa's retirement? - You are right.

But when the time comes and that convert Pargali...

...sets his eyes on your Grand Viziership...

...overthrows you and takes the seal...

...I will remind you of this day.

Nigar Kalfa.

- Hurrem is going to kill me. - Did you tell her?

- How could I? - She is just trying to scare you.

She told me to find the woman, or she is going to exile me.

Please send me away from this palace before she kills me.

I know she will do it.

Summon Mustafa Pasa from Thrace.

Tell him to come here after taking Piri Pasa from Gelibolu.

Tell him to bring every map he has.

We will be ready in spring, in three or four months.

The Golden Horn Shipyard is working nonstop.

Forty galleys are being built in Gelibolu.

I wonder what the Knights of Rhodes are doing.

What do you think? They are begging for help left and right.

VATICAN PALACE

Your Holiness...

...in his threatening letters, the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman...

...openly states that he will attack Rhodes.

This spring, they will besiege our holy island and holy land.

I don't think that is going to happen.

Stop worrying about it.

Or you might make a mistake.

Trust me. I am not panicking.

If Venice, Roma, France and Spain...

...do not support me, the Christian world will lose control...

...of the Mediterranean sea...

...and it will be taken by the Muslims.

If the Vatican protects holy Rhodes...

...the Ottomans would not dare to attack.

Sultan Suleiman is a wiser and braver young man...

...than I thought.

Padisah, he knows about trade...

...he knows how to fight...

...and he knows politics.

Forgive me, Your Holiness.

Have you made new trade agreements with the Ottomans?

Have they opened the ports of the East?

Yes, we are building...

...strong commercial relations.

However...

...if an attack is made upon you...

...we would not remain silent.

You would not remain silent.

I see.

Who was it? Did you find out?

I couldn't.

Nobody knows.

Did you ask Ayse?

She is like an owl. She sees everything.

She must know.

Talk to her.

Hurrem.

That's enough, let it go.

You have a son, you have someone you love.

You have gold and diamonds.

His Majesty calls you "My Sultana."

You have a sable fur.

Yes, I do.

But it is not enough.

The Sultan must be mine alone.

Another woman means being Mahidevran.

I am not going to become Mahidevran. You understand?

Get ready, we are leaving.

Where?

Hurrem Hatun.

You might get sweaty.

- You shouldn't wear that inside. - I will wear it everywhere!

Gulnihal.

Take my son. We are going.

My beautiful Hatice. Are you okay?

I am well, Mother.

Come here.

Did you not sleep well?

You seem tired.

I am devastated to see you like this.

I want you to be blooming with joy.

I talked to your brother about you.

Mother, please don't mention these kind of things to my brother.

I am fine.

I get embarrassed when you speak like this.

I can't look at his face.

I am afraid he is going to think I am dying to get married.

We only want you to be happy.

Don't think like that. But I also won't...

...let you wither away in front of me.

Hurrem Hatun and Prince Mehmet are here.

Let them in.

We are here to take your blessing.

You are wearing sable fur, Hurrem.

It is His Majesty's gift.

It is exclusive to the members of the dynasty.

Daye Hatun.

Is the valide available?

She is with Hurrem Hatun. They are here to take her blessing.

Maybe you can visit later.

My prince.

Mahidevran?

Look at you.

So, Hurrem. This is yours.

Enjoy it.

Thank you, my valide.

Don't cry, my son.

Look.

My valide gave us a gift.

Are you hungry?

He is crying his heart out.

Give him to someone who knows what they are doing.

So that they can poison him?

Let him cry. It's fine.

Hurrem, go and feed the prince.

We can find a wet nurse if you don't have enough breast milk.

I have enough eveything for my son!

He only needs his mother.

By your leave, my valide.

Mother, by your leave, I would like to help Hurrem.

Welcome, Effendi.

Let me have a look at that one.

And that one.

You should see this one. It is an exceptional piece.

Assalamu alaikum.

You came to the bazaar without letting me know.

What is that? It's beautiful.

- Very elegant. - Do you like it too?

"Give him to someone...

...who knows what they are doing."

Like she knows a lot.

He isn't crying now that he's fed.

You think I am an idiot.

I know you poisoned me.

- You wanted to kill me. - Hurrem, that's inappropriate.

Don't talk like that, someone might hear.

Everything is inappropriate in this palace.

Everything is a sin. Don't you know any other words?

And forbidden.

It is our custom.

You have to live by them.

I won't.

You shouldn't either.

- Go with Ibrahim, run away. I can help. - Stop.

My mother is going to marry me off anyway.

Everyone should find love.

And have their babies from the one she loves.

Did you love your late husband?

No.

I didn't have time anyway.

We married and before two months had passed...

...he died.

I found him dead in his bed.

Trust me.

I will help you, Sultana Hatice.

You are a good person.

My Sultana, what did he say? Read it out loud.

"My heart is flapping its wings like this butterfly.

Let this butterfly rest on your chest.

It is yours, my Sultana."

"My heart is flapping its wings like this butterfly.

Let this butterfly rest on your chest.

It's yours, my Sultana."

And my heart is yours, Ibrahim.

Ibrahim!

Your Majesty.

How are we going to sail this fleet if you keep getting lost in your thoughts?

Ibrahim, can we put these boats in the pool?

Not these ones, my prince. I can make you better ones.

You should go now, Mustafa. We have work to do.

I won't. I will work too.

Ibrahim, let's work.

It is the padishah's orders, my prince. You are leaving now.

Nigar Kalfa, tell Ibrahim I am going to see His Majesty tonight.

I have missed him so much.

It has been so long since we were together.

No, you have just given birth.

It hasn't even been 40 days yet.

You can't lie with him. It would be shameful.

- No shame! - Shut up, don't raise your voice.

You are going to disgrace us. Act like a mother of a prince.

Where are you going?

I am going to take a walk.

Is that shameful too?

Are we going to the shipyard? Should I get the boats ready?

I am tired, Pargali. I want to rest.

We can go there later.

Let me prepare a huri from the heaven to help you relax.

Tell Sumbul Aga to have Gulnihal Hatun prepared.

Hatice.

I chose these rolls of silk for you.

Show them to Sultana Hatice.

Do you like it?

They are beautiful. Are these from Egypt?

A butterfly. What a beautiful brooch.

I have never seen it before.

It was a gift.

They seem to have good taste.

Whose gift is it?

Mine.

A small gift for Sultana Hatice.

I am glad you liked it.

I had delivered the cloth His Majesty gave me.

I came to see if the tailor was sewing them yet.

Gulnihal Hatun.

Come here.

Get ready for the evening.

His Majesty has summoned you. You are to go to the private chamber.

Hurrem?

Hurrem would kill me.

Come to your senses.

Are you defying Padisah's wishes?

He chose you.

You are going to get ready, come with me.

Sumbul Aga, I am afraid.

What makes you different from Hurrem?

She gave birth to a prince and became a Sultana.

Maybe you will get lucky too.

If you get pregnant...

...you would be Sultana Gulnihal.

I am going with Sumbul Aga. Take care of the prince.

Have a seat, we need to talk.

Did something happen, Mother?

Did I do something wrong?

Don't get close to Hurrem. Don't trust that woman.

Don't share your troubles or happiness with her.

Keep yourself distant.

And don't accept her gift.

I want you to marry without any trouble.

You will find a home soon.

Am I a burden to you in this palace?

I could go to the old palace.

Or I could go further away, I could live in desperation in Edirne Palace!

My Sultana?

What happened to Sultana Hatice? She was crying.

She is upset about something but she won't share it with me.

She keeps running away from me, but I want her to be happy.

I am dumbfounded, Daye.

My Sultana.

- Where is Gulnihal? - She is not around again.

Sumbul Aga took her somewhere this evening.

- Why did he take her? - I don't know.

They were whispering, I didn't hear.

Who?

Who slept with him?

It could be anyone. Just let it go.

His Majesty chooses whomever he wants.

Hurrem Hatun? Are you okay?

I brought some water. Would you like some?

I am good. You can go to bed.

I can't sleep. I am just walking around.

Good night.

It is cold.

Don't get cold.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

It was you.

It was you, wasn't it?

You slept with Suleiman.

You were there tonight, weren't you?

Hurrem, I...

Answer me!

How could you do this to me?

You were the only one I trusted!

This palace poisoned you too!

How could you do this to me?

Hurrem Hatun, wait!

Go away! I am going to kill her!

I am going to kill her! Go!

Did you betray me for this?

Did you betray me for this?

Look at me.

Look at me!

Stand straight.

Lower your heads. Good.

Help! Hurrem is going to kill Gulnihal!

Wait here.

Allah damn you!

Traitor!

- Traitor! - Don't!

- Let go of the girl! - Get out of my way!

Let go of me!

- Are you out of your mind? - I am!

This was deliberate!

Hurrem is going to kill you, Gulnihal.

Shut up. Mind your own business.

Why did you do this?

I am talking to you! Look at me and answer! I said, look at me!

You arranged this to drive me mad.

You made my closest friend sleep with His Majesty.

- It was deliberate! - Show some respect!

You can't talk to the valide Sultana like that.

What would happen if I do? Would you poison me again?

Would you throw me in the dungeons? Or cut my head off?

I will never forget what you have done for me, Ibrahim.

You should have seen her going mad in the harem.

Everyone saw her for what she is.

You should go, my Sultana.

His Majesty will be here in a minute, he shouldn't see you.

Take care of Mustafa.

Don't think about anything else.

This is Sultan Suleiman's harem.

Everyone including you, Gulnihal...

...and other concubines are his harem.

It has been like this for a thousand years.

And it'll be like this. You can't go around...

...and make scenes like this when you've recently given birth.

I won't let it happen. Daye...

...take my grandson away from this crazy woman.

I forbid her from seeing him until she comes to her senses.

No, don't take Mehmet away! My son!

Please, my valide!

I promise I will do anything you want.

Don't take my son away from me.

I will do anything.

Anything. Please don't take him away.

Please.

Please don't take my son away.

This is your last warning, Hurrem. I won't forgive you again.

I am going to tell my son about this.

He will do whatever he sees fit.

Are you okay, Hurrem?

I am okay.

But I am ashamed.

Have you heard what happened?

I should not have done that.

The Valide Sultana was furious with me.

She was right.

Forget about it. I was just worried about you.

And...

...thank you for the other day.

Why?

You saved me by saying...

...that the brooch was a gift from you.

Don't worry about it.

Come on, we are friends.

It is beautiful, keep it.

Please accept it.

It will look beautiful on you.

I want to give His Majesty a gift too.

What kind of gift? Have you thought about it?

I have. We need Sumbul Aga.

The Valide Sultana is here, Your Majesty.

Welcome, Mother. You honoured me.

I am here to discuss a joyous event my lion.

Do you have time?

Make way!

Master Arem...

...Sultana Hatice wants to see your talents.

My Sultana.

Please come in.

Master Arem is the most talented...

...master jeweller and mirror maker in the palace.

I want this mirror.

What do you think, Sultana Hatice?

It is beautiful.

His Majesty must see me whenever he looks into it.

That should be its secret.

Yes, it is beautiful.

You couldn't have found a better gift.

- My Sultana should be careful. - He says you should be careful.

Don't worry, I won't break it. It smells bad.

Sumbul Aga, tell our Sultana there is poison in that vial.

She shouldn't hold them with her bare hands. If it contacts...

...with her skin, it'll create lesions.

There is poison in those vials. Don't touch them.

If your skin touches them you will get lesions, he says.

Are these mirrors poisonous?

If we don't add those to the mirror's foil...

...the mirror will be flawed.

And we would look flawed in a flawed mirror.

He says the mirror wouldn't work without those poisons.

Weird stuff.

My mind cannot grasp it. Dear Lord!

I am buying this. What do you think?

Beautiful.

Elegant.

I have learned enough, Hodja Çelebi.

Teach me something else.

For example...

...the stars that come out at night...

...and the swinging moon.

We will cover them later, my prince.

We should finish arithmetic first.

My Sultana.

Did you like your gift?

I loved it.

I never take it off.

The butterfly is always with me.

I want to give you something too.

We cannot see each other anymore.

Why is that?

My mother is going to marry me off soon.

Who is this lucky man?

Mehmet Çelebi, son of Piri Mehmet Pasa.

He studied in Egypt.

He is an educated young man.

He is a tutor now.

Where is this young man? I want to meet him.

He is in the palace. He is tutoring Mustafa.

I saw him recently.

He is smart and orderly.

She has been crying for days. She is going to get ill.

Stop crying.

You will stay in this chamber.

You will not go out until I say so.

Listen to what Sumbul Aga says.

What did I do wrong?

It was you two who caused all this.

I have done everything you told me. Look what happened.

Come here.

Is the school over?

What did you learn today, my lion?

My tutor always makes me memorize things.

I ask about the stars...

...and Çelebi Hodja tells me "Later."

Tell him, order him to tell me about the stars.

Eventually.

Çelebi Hodja will teach you so many things.

You have so much time.

There is no time. He needs to teach it now.

All right. Go on and play with Harun in the gardens.

Hatice, you stay.

Yes, Mother?

We talked with my lion.

We had an intimate conversation.

We deemed Piri Mehmet Pasa's educated, wise son Mehmet Çelebi...

...as an appropriate husband for you.

You asked for me.

Is there something wrong?

Where's Gulnihal staying?

She's staying somewhere.

Well...

...I'll give her her fur.

I'll talk with her.

No, don't talk with her. Leave the poor girl alone.

Okay, I understand.

Then you bring the fur to her.

It's cold.

She can use it.

I don't want her to get cold.

Tell her that I've forgiven her.

I don't know if she'll forgive you.

This mirror?

You'll see me when you look at this mirror.

This is its secret.

You'll look at it.

You'll see the Hurrem who loves you.

Hurrem Hatun has sent it.

"Tell her to forgive me...

...she can wear it to keep warm," she said.

Look, Hurrem has come to reason.

She has understood her fault.

The fur looks lovely. Wear it!

Give me another son, Suleyman.

How much do you love me?

Tell me.

I love you so much, Hurrem.

So much.

Ayse! Look at my face!

Ayse! Look at it!

Oh my God!

- What happened to you? - I don't know!

Ayse, I have no face!

When I'm with you, I feel like I'm dying.

You take my breath away.

Then you make me be reborn.

With one kiss, my life starts again.

What you're describing is love, Hurrem.

Do you love me?

Yes.

How much do you love me?

Show me.

This much? This much?

- This much? - I'll show you how much!

Help! She's dying!

- It hurts! - Sumbul Agha! Nigar Kalfa!

Is there anybody?

- I'm dying! - Please, help!

Run! Get a physician!

Help me Ayse!

Help!

I'm dying! I have no face!

- My face is gone! - Stop!

Gulnihal?

- Gulnihal? - Gulnihal?

Kill me first.

Then, go.

- What a shame. - Is she dead?

Unfortunate.

It would be better if she died. Who would look at her face?

Gulnihal was staying with you.

Tell me what happened.

You came, thankfully.

Stay back, girls.

Is this malady contagious, physician?

My Sultana!

My Sultana!

My Sultana!

My Sultana!

Sultana Hatice!

My Sultana!

Open your eyes, please!

Oh God!

What was that commotion?

I don't know. I don't understand.

Take a look and find out.

Do you know what happened?

It was bad.

Her face was horrific.

Tell me everything you know, right now!

She received a fur.

She was so happy.

She wrapped herself in it and slept.

What fur?

Where did it come from?

Here it is.

Physician...

...take a look at this.

Then? Tell me.

I was sleeping.

I woke up to her screaming.

There were bleeding scars on her face and neck.

There is something smeared on the fur.

It could be poison.

Who gave this fur?

Nigar Kalfa.

Toss it in the fire.

Ibrahim.

Our love is forbidden.

Ibrahim.

What a pity!

How did it happen?

Such a shame.

She didn't die?

No, God forbid it. She didn't die.

There is no knowing what will happen by morning.

The physician is there too.

Is her face badly hurt?

They say you can't even look at her.

Where have you been Nigar Kalfa?

Blood is spilling in the Harem. Where were you?

I had a stomachache.

I made some medicine for myself, then fell asleep.

I didn't hear it, Daye Hatun.

Girls have come to wake me up just now.

You're in fault and dare...

Am I to blame for sickness now?

Don't talk back, kalfa!

I know that you are the one who gave the poisoned fur to Gulnihal.

Why did you poison her?

Her face is in tatters.

I swear I'm innocent.

Hurrem Hatun gave me the fur.

I only brought it.

I understand, Nigar Kalfa.

I will take care of this matter.

Valide Hatun has sent for you.

You go back, I'll come now.

No one will hear about what you have just told me, Nigar Kalfa.

Understood?

You won't mention the name Hurrem under any circumstances.

I hold you responsible for this harem's order, Daye Hatun.

Find the one responsible for this disgrace...

...and punish them.

Incidents have lately been never-ending.

Those who disturb the order will be expelled from the palace immediately.

Understood, Daye Hatun?

Then we will have to expel Hurrem Hatun, my Sultana.

What?

What does she have to do with this atrocity?

That poor girl was her attendant and best friend.

But when she was invited to the private chamber...

...not once but twice...

...she became her biggest enemy.

Even the birth of my prince didn't make Hurrem come to her senses.

This girl is so sinister, Daye.

We can't deal with Hurrem with kindness.

She will be punished.

Mother?

Mother.

My dear Mother!

You're here.

I missed you so much.

Look...

...Mehmet.

Your grandson.

Let's be quiet.

Let's not wake Suleyman up.

You're not my Rossa, Alexandra.

Don't say that.

Are you angry with me?

I'm your rose-scented girl, Mother.

Are you avenging us like this?

I'm doing it.

Look, the Sultan is by my side.

My son Mehmet is here.

He'll become the Sultan when he grows up.

He will rule the world.

You have blood on your hands.

You have poison on your hands.

My daughter is doing evil.

I did it all for you.

Believe me, I'm not evil.

Evil is contagious, Alexandra.

Once you start, you can't stop it.

You committed acts of cruelty...

...not for us, but yourself.

Pray.

Repent.

You committed a great sin.

Mother.

Mother.

Don't go.

Don't go, Mother.

Hurrem.

Hurrem.

Wake up, wake up woman.

Wake up.

It's all right, wake up.

My mother is gone. She left. She didn't listen to me.

I'm still here even if she is gone, Hurrem.

It's okay, girl.

It's all right, don't cry.

My Mehmet, my son.

Don't cry.

Look, your mother is here.

Which one of you is the baby, Hurrem?

Come on, girl, come on.

Are you the baby or is Mehmet the baby?

Oh, love

I am ready, come

Kill me in your embrace everyday

Then revive me again with a kiss every day

Don't leave me without your gentleness and your intimacy

Burn me with your sun and hide me with your moonlight

Did you talk with the Chief Physician?

No, I will go soon.

Go right now and solve this!

- My Sultana, I'll go but... - There is no but, Daye.

This will end today.

Hurrem isn't reasonable. What if she yells bloody murder?

Let her. I've made my decision.

How will we know who she poisons next? Did she assure you?

Did she say "Daye Hatun, I've come to my senses, I swear"?

My Sultana, she will take this matter to His Majesty, that's what worries me.

No one can put me at odds with my lion.

No one possesses that power.

What?

Hatice Sultana has fallen ill. She is in bed with high fever.

My Allah, may you protect my Hatice!

Good morning, Nigar Kalfa.

Hurrem Hatun, you look quite well.

I'm well, mashallah.

What was all the noise last night? The girls were screaming.

You don't know what happened at the Harem?

Gulnihal was poisoned. She almost died.

Is that so?

What happened to her?

Is she not well?

Let's go to her right now. Where is she?

You're lying. You poisoned her.

You had me bring that poisonous fur.

I'm innocent. No poison.

You aren't innocent.

You did it. You got me involved in your trickery.

I foolishly brought it with my own hands.

She's covered with scars. Her face is in tatters.

There is no escape with your lies this time, Hurrem Hatun.

Don't talk to me in that tone, Nigar Kalfa.

I like you. You're a good woman.

Are you threatening me, Hurrem?

You used to like Gulnihal too. She used to be your companion.

To hell with your love.

Leave.

I'll leave, but not because I'm afraid of you, Hurrem Hatun.

You will pay dearly for all you have done, inshallah.

If there is justice, I hope to see it. I hope to see it with my own eyes.

My Hatice! My beautiful daughter, what happened to you?

No! She's burning up.

When did this happen? Why didn't you inform me sooner, Gülfem?

Her fever rose towards the morning.

I called the physician to come and take a look.

We rubbed her with vinegar.

She has caught quite the cold.

Go and get the physician, Daye. Have her take a look at my Hatice first.

She must've caught a cold. I'll bring the physician right away.

Sorry to hear what happened. I've just found out now. How is she?

Hatice, wake up.

Mustafa, don't. She is ill, look at her.

She needs to rest now. She needs sleep to get well.

What if she never wakes up?

What if Hatice dies?

Mahidevran, take Mustafa away.

Gulnihal is well for now.

But her face and neck are covered in scars.

She is in bandages.

How did it happen? Who did it?

Well...

I understand.

So, is there any other news from the Harem?

There is no other important news, Effendi.

Hatice Sultana ran a fever last night, we sent the physician to take care of her.

It isn't unexpected after all that time under the snow.

She's been under the snow?

This snowy weather could make us all fall ill.

Hatice Sultana has probably fallen ill because of it.

Is Hatice Sultana ill? What happened?

I was about to inform you, Your Majesty. She ran a fever last night.

I'll go and see her.

I was wondering what Gulnihal's condition is.

I've just heard about it. My poor friend.

She's just heard it? Such a lie.

And she calls her, her friend.

Didn't she get rid of her after they had a fight?

What's wrong with her, Mother?

She has a fever. She's caught a cold. She'll be fine. Don't you worry, my lion.

Don't leave her alone and keep me informed.

I'm here. I won't leave her side. Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Tie her up. Don't even give her water.

Effendi, we will do anything. Have mercy!

I want to die! Throw me into the sea!

Hurrem?

How is Gulnihal?

You dare to ask?

Go away! Go away!

Get well soon.

I'm happy that you've survived.

Please take good care of her.

Gulnihal is my friend.

I'm very upset.

Tell me whatever you need and I'll bring it.

- You'll get well. - May God bless you, Hurrem Hatun.

We know that you love your friend.

Poor Maria.

What a shame.

With this face, you can never be a Sultana. Only a slave.

My slave.

Poor Hatice Sultana.

She looks so delicate, lying down like that.

She's caught a cold because of the weather. It'll pass.

- Must be the wind. - Indeed, my Sultana.

It's the snow. It's been snowing for two days.

The odds are the girls in the Harem too will start to fall ill soon.

It's not only the weather that troubles my Hatice.

She doesn't talk about it.

We need to find...

My Valide.

I heard that Hatice Sultana has fallen ill. I've come to visit.

She's resting. We shouldn't bother her. Come later.

No. Hatice is my close friend. It wouldn't be right. I need to see her.

You should take care of your close friend Gulnihal, Hurrem Hatun.

I've visited Gulnihal just now. She'll get well. I feel very sad.

There's so much gossip in the Harem. The concubines are spreading lies.

They say that I did it.

Nigar Kalfa is lying too.

Isn't lying a sin?

I'm innocent, Valide Sultana.

Please look at my face.

Please.

Tell her that she can visit but she shouldn't stay too long.

How is she? Will she be fine?

Of course she will.

It's too warm in here.

Warmth is not good.

This is not the way. I need some snow.

Yes, bring me some snow now.

Don't go.

Mind your own business.

Is he sleeping well?

Yes, he is. But sometimes he vomits.

He is too young. So is his stomach.

I'm watching over our Prince day and night, my Sultana.

We know, don't worry.

Mashallah! Mashallah! He looks terrific.

I'm worried about my Prince.

All this vomiting is not a good sign.

Do we need a wet nurse?

Maybe his mother's milk is bad for him?

Yes, it would help, my Sultana.

A wet nurse should breastfeed him.

Daye, prepare my grandson immediately. Bring him to the wet nurse.

Let's go.

What will his mother say?

Have you not heard the physician?

Prepare our Prince.

Is it your place to play the physician?

Yes, she is ill. It is my place.

You should heal your friend that you poisoned first.

You're a liar! I didn't poison her.

It's you who knows about poisons!

- You poisoned me and Suleyman. - Shut your foul mouth.

Who are you?

Do you think giving birth to a boy is enough?

You can give birth to five, if you wish.

I'm the Haseki.

I'm the Haseki Sultana.

You will show me respect.

Respect? You?

Tell these to Sultan Suleyman.

Tell him that you're the Haseki, you demand respect.

Go on then. Tell him.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, how is Hatice Sultana? Is she well?

She will be fine. It's only a cold.

Is that so?

May Allah restore her health soon.

Pargali, do you know Piri Pasa's son?

No, Your Majesty.

I think he's just started his duties recently,

but I've heard that he's a good tutor.

Let's go and see if this tutor is as good as they say.

Don't let Hurrem Hatun's rudeness sadden you.

She's not important enough to sadden me.

She can't be.

Indeed. She is far below your station.

Hatice Sultana's meal must be ready. I'll go and check on it.

Of course, you go. I'll be here.

Ibrahim...

...don't leave me.

Ibrahim...

...my love.

Ibrahim?

He's an impressive young man. Mother was right.

Mehmet, my son. Are you hungry?

- Where is my son? - They took him.

- Who did? - Valide Sultana came and took him.

Why did you give him up?

They said that your milk was poisonous.

They brought him to a wet nurse.

Father!

My father is here!

My Prince, don't run. The lecture isn't over yet.

- The lecture isn't over yet, my Mustafa. - Order so and it'll be over.

Forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't see you coming.

What sort of a student is my Prince, Mehmet Çelebi Hodja?

Your Majesty, he has a quick mind...

...and he doesn't forget easily. He absorbs knowledge quickly.

He asks for more. But he gets bored easily.

- Do you hear that, my Mustafa? - No.

Let's go, you promised me. We'll play matrak.

My Prince, we'll play later.

Mustafa, I thought we were playing together.

You're always busy. You never play with me.

All right, Mustafa. I wish to speak with your tutor.

Look Pargali, your Prince is angry with you.

Come on, my Prince.

Let's go.

For how long have you been in the palace?

Five months, Your Majesty.

I started my duties when you were on the Belgrade campaign.

I'm happy to return to my homeland after many years.

Where have you been before?

Your Majesty, I studied in Cairo, Damascus and Hejaz.

I pursued knowledge and truth under great tutors.

- Did you find the truth? - I wouldn't dare say I did, Your Majesty.

Even getting closer to the truth is impossible for us subjects.

It's a long journey to grasp this secret that grows as you get close.

I'm only at the beginning. The happiness of seeking the way is enough for me.

Have you found happiness at your home?

No, Your Majesty. My house is empty still.

Someday, inshallah. Happiness may be closer than you think.

Alright, Mehmet Çelebi. You can play matrak with Mustafa.

What do you think of this young man, Pargali?

Why do you ask, Your Majesty?

Where is my baby?

Have you seen him? My Prince is gone.

You will take very good care of my Prince.

You will care for him more than your life.

Don't you worry, Valide Sultana.

They've stolen my baby, Nigar Kalfa.

I beg of you. Tell me where he is.

There is no stealing, Hurrem Hatun. This is His Majesty's Harem.

They brought him to the wet nurse. Look, the Prince is in that room.

Give me my baby. Let go of my son.

Stop, leave him alone. Let the child be fed.

I'll feed him. He needs my milk.

Your milk is not good for the Prince.

Your milk is poisonous.

You did it. You poisoned me!

And now you're taking my son from me!

Shut your mouth! Shut up!

Or else you'll never seen your son again.

Get out. Now!
