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

Sultana Hurrem.

Please return to your chamber so this doesn't get ugly.

I don't believe you.

- You are lying. - I wouldn't dare!

Have I unknowingly done something wrong?

You disregarded my choices.

You sent poison to my table.

You poisoned the respect between us, Mahidevran.

Sultana Hurrem! Don't cause a scene!

Sultana Hurrem! Don't knock!

- For God's sake... - Pargali Ibrahim!

You will fall so suddenly from your high perch, Pasa.

I will shake your foundations.

Hurrem Hatun.

Don't threaten me.

Do it.

Do it and show us the extent of your power.

Take big bites.

But don't talk big.

No one can come between His Majesty and me.

I won't come between you.

But maybe Sultana Hatice will.

Please don't turn your back on me.

Your Majesty, I long for your face.

Don't leave me without your compassion.

End this punishment and this pain.

Why are you not asleep?

I put the children to bed.

I was wondering about you.

Don't wonder about me.

Why is this meal here?

- I will clear it away now. - Don't bother.

You have woken Mihrimah.

Don't scare us, Hurrem.

Yes.

Fear me.

Your Majesty.

Is something the matter, Your Majesty?

No, Pargali.

I came out for some air. I was stifled inside.

Where were you? I was looking for you.

I went to the bazaar, Your Majesty.

I made preparations for the journey to Parga.

When I returned, I didn't disturb you when I realised you were busy.

When do you leave for Parga?

I will set out tomorrow if you permit me to do so.

Why the hurry, Pargali?

Because you commanded me to go and come back immediately.

- But if it's not convenient... - It is convenient.

Go and come back as soon as possible.

May I have your blessing, Your Majesty?

- I may not return. - You will, Pargali.

I won't give you my blessing if you don't return.

I wonder what they are speaking about.

It's obvious that they are not speaking about us, my Sultana.

If only they did.

And they ended our pain.

If only we could speak of the things that burn us inside...

...without fear...

...without having to hide them.

Those days will come, my Sultana. Be patient.

It's as if I am seeing him for the last time.

A voice in my heart says so.

He looks so sad.

Good morning, my Sultana.

- My Sultana? Are you well? - Shut up!

Gulnihal! Come here.

Look after Mehmet.

- I will be back. - Where are you going?

Come, Mehmet. Come, my Prince.

Nigar Kalfa, come with me.

- Where are we going so early? - Don't you know?

- Last night, Sultana Mahidevran... - Be quiet.

Don't speak her name.

I hope this ends well.

Come on girls! Line up!

Good morning. How are you?

- Thank you, my Sultana. - We pray for your health.

I will come to the conservatory one day.

We can play together.

We'll look forward to it, my Sultana.

The tutors will treat us better with you there.

Look, the Sultana is smiling.

She entered the chamber for the first time in months.

I wonder if Hurrem knows.

I'm sure she does. I wish we could see her face.

Come on girls! The tutors are waiting!

My Sultana, at least have a bite to eat.

No.

Have them take it away.

Excuse me, Gulfem Hatun.

Ibrahim Pasa asked me to give you this letter.

What do you want from Ibrahim Pasa?

He is no longer the Master of Privy Chamber.

He is the Grand Vizier.

The representative of our Sultan.

You will burn if you tangle with him.

The Pasa left this morning anyway.

He was afraid.

He ran from me.

You will see who will burn in a minute.

For God's sake walk and don't speak.

Hurrem Hatun.

I heard that you got left at the door last night.

Apparently you waited.

Poor girl. I pity you.

Calm down, Hurrem.

Calm down.

Leave me alone.

"My Sultana.

My Sultana, the master of my heart.

I couldn't find the courage to bid you farewell.

I am going to Parga.

I am going to trace my family.

I am going to suffer my fate...

...and dampen my pain there if I can find them.

Even though I promised you...

...even though I wrested a solution from the depths of hell...

...I lost, my Sultana.

His Majesty's will crushed reality.

Therein lies our despair.

I was unable to wipe away your tears.

I couldn't open the gardens of heaven for you.

The walls of the palace fell upon me.

And I, your helpless servant...

...was left buried under it all, my Sultana.

I can promise you only one thing.

I will love you till my last breath.

I lovingly kiss your hands."

- Your Majesty, Sultana Hurrem is here. - Show her in.

Your Majesty.

By your leave, I have something important to say.

Wait.

"Your Majesty.

I am Ibrahim, the son of the Greek fisherman Manolis.

Ibrahim, the servant at the Saruhanli farm...

...whom you met on the hunt in Manisa, at Mount Serdes.

I write this letter...

...as my resignation from all titles and positions that you deemed me worth of.

As I leave on this journey to my family...

...I loyally return unsullied, the great opportunities...

...that were bestowed upon me by the Empire...

...to which my family entrusted me.

Your Majesty.

I will not return from this journey.

Because every moment I spend in your illustrious palace...

...now causes me great sorrow for which I have no words to explain.

The deep love and affection I feel for Sultana Hatice...

...has left me with no other choice.

Being unable to help her in her sorrow...

...and having to witness her suffering from afar is a fate worse than death.

Your Majesty.

I have given up on myself.

And on my position.

Please forgive me.

I sacrifice my future to end Sultana Hatice's tears."

Your Majesty, is it bad news?

Ibrahim deceived me.

He looked me in the eyes...

How can this be?

He's gone, Gulfem.

He's gone.

I have lost him forever.

I'm sure he will be back.

You will see.

He can't be gone forever.

Something must have happened for him to leave so suddenly.

Could he have spoken with His Majesty?

Let's wait and see.

I'm sure nothing happened.

What if he doesn't return?

I wish he had taken me with him.

He should have told me.

I would have even gone to hell with him.

My Sultana.

Ibrahim wrote the letter?

Did he deceive you?

I am sorry.

Are you angry with me?

Why are you here?

What is the important thing you want to tell me?

I came for...

I came for Sultana Hatice.

I always see that she is so sad.

Her fiancé is very ill.

I wonder if she has another cause for sadness.

How can I help her?

You may leave if you are finished.

Last night...

...I waited for you until the morning.

Mahidevran was smiling?

I looked in on her this morning. She was very happy.

Mashallah, Mustafa is also well.

Inshallah she appreciates the things I have done for her.

Aghas!

Summon my personal scribe.

I'm going to dictate a letter.

My Valide.

Hurrem, is there something wrong?

I have an important matter to discuss.

Tell me.

I love Sultana Hatice very much.

I don't want her to suffer, my Valide.

Hurrem Hatun, get to the point. Stop beating about the bush.

What is it?

Ibrahim Pasa has left.

He left His Majesty a letter and ran off.

I think it is about Sultana Hatice.

What is it?

What could Ibrahim have to do with Hatice?

Come to your senses. Don't say such things.

I am saying this to do good.

Sultana Hatice loves Ibrahim Pasa too.

They should be united.

Permit it.

It is not your place to speak of such matters.

I will pretend that I never heard this. Go and see to your children.

My Sultana.

Don't believe what Hurrem Hatun said.

Call Hatice immediately, Daye.

Mother.

- You wanted to see... - Leave us.

Is it true?

Is what true, Mother?

Ibrahim Pasa left a letter.

In this letter that he wrote to my lion...

...he confessed that he is in love with you.

Hatice, look at me, is it true?

Did you know of Ibrahim Pasa's feelings?

Answer me.

Do you share his feelings?

Get out of my sight.

Mother, please listen to me.

Go away.

Are you going to defend yourself...

...when you should be ashamed? Disgraceful!

What a disgrace!

My Sultana.

They know, Gulfem.

They know everything.

Oh, no!

I need to speak to His Majesty.

I am going to ask him to forgive Ibrahim.

My Sultana.

Inform His Majesty that I am here.

They are to set out immediately and give this to Ibrahim Pasa.

Your Majesty.

Sultana Hatice is here.

She requests an audience.

My Sultana.

His Majesty is very busy.

He asks that you return to your chamber.

I must see him.

Didn't you say it was important?

Of course, I did. But he said that you are to leave.

Remembrance...

...is a secret form of worship for me.

To be cleansed of my sins...

...to return to innocence...

...to pray at the Kaaba...

I am on the sea where my life changed.

And I look back at my life.

I am Ibrahim.

The son of Manolis, born to Sophia, converted in Parga.

I haven't seen my mother's face in 17 years.

I ran from mirrors.

I looked for the missing pieces of my brother, mother and father in my face.

The more I looked, the more I got lost.

I was unable to return.

I knew not where to turn.

I couldn't hold her hands.

The sound of my mother's violin...

...and the epistles I learnt from her in my ears.

I smuggled them out of my childhood homeland.

They are my only inheritance.

I am Ibrahim.

What is returning?

Where does one return to?

What is the place where one returns to?

Is there any return?

Is it possible?

Or does fate only show the future?

Is the place one comes from still there waiting?

Will I be able to see it when I look?

Is the heart one's compass when returning?

Will I be able to find the road home...

...without forgetting the way...

...passing through the same ways?

Will the sea I have crossed...

...the port I arrive at, the home I find waiting remember me?

Will it embrace you...

...protect and hide you?

Returning is not a skill.

It is a necessity, Ibrahim.

Hatice is crying in her chamber.

But we must both hold strong.

She must learn her lesson.

The matter will be closed and never opened again.

Mother.

The construction of your mosque in Manisa has begun.

They will finish it swiftly, as I promised.

My lion.

Thank you.

You didn't refuse me.

And don't forget that it is Thursday today.

It has been a week since His Majesty spoke to me.

He won't grant me an audience either.

Perhaps you should speak to the Valide Sultana.

Maybe that would be beneficial.

Mother won't look me in the eyes.

God help me.

Niko.

What are you wearing?

Are you rich now, Niko?

Where is Niko?

I am Theo.

Niko's brother.

Theo...

You are alive.

I am Eleni, dear boy.

Eleni.

- Do you remember? - I remember.

It has been many years since they took you away.

We never received word from you.

We thought that you were dead.

We cried so much when you left that day.

Niko never stopped crying.

He cried and cried for days.

Where are they, Eleni?

They are not in the house. Where is my mother?

Manolis should be on the beach.

I await an audience with His Majesty.

Ibrahim Pasa has gone to Parga.

I will say that he cannot represent such a great office while he is gone.

Ahmet Pasa.

If only you wouldn't speak of this.

How can we question His Majesty's will?

Don't be afraid, Pasa. Nothing will happen to you.

Only to me.

His Majesty will see you in the main chamber, my Pasa.

Wait for me.

I will return with good news, Pasa.

Sultana Hurrem.

Are you well?

I am well, Ayse. What is it?

Why are you looking at me? Is something wrong?

No.

Thank God, I am fine.

Today is Thursday.

His Majesty will be meeting Sultana Mahidevran tonight.

I was just sad for you.

There will be no such meeting.

It will never happen.

Go and tell the waiting concubines not to wait.

If you are so sure...

All right.

Good day.

Ayse, what are you doing here?

The girls are waiting for you.

I am going, Sumbul Agha. Don't be angry.

Go on! Lazy girl!

Sumbul Agha.

Are you here for me?

Do you have news?

My Sultana, I am not here for you.

Why are you not taking an interest in me?

Or are you a Pasa now?

Not at all.

It is not my place.

Is there something you need, my Sultana?

You run to Sultana Mahidevran.

Where is His Majesty? Is he coming?

I do not know.

I must go immediately.

You need not be concerned, my Sultana.

I don't recognise him anymore.

He looks at me in such a way, as if I am not in his thoughts.

Or in his heart.

You cannot imagine how much I begged forgiveness.

He hasn't forgiven me.

He won't forgive me.

That woman has captured his heart and his conscience.

She has put a spell on him.

He will invite you again tonight.

I don't think so.

My Sultana.

His Majesty awaits you tonight.

Mother, I'm coming too.

Mother.

Will you not speak to me?

Have you turned your back on me like His Majesty?

One doesn't turn one's back on one's child.

And the child mustn't turn her back on her family...

...or embarrass them.

While we were trying to build you a happy future for you...

...you disregarded us.

My lion is also upset.

We didn't expect this sort of behaviour from you.

Mother.

I would rather die than embarrass you.

I haven't done anything shameful.

It is my fault that my heart beats?

You explain this by saying that your heart beats?

Look...

Can you feel that?

It's beating.

I would prefer that it stops and the pain ends.

Father.

Father!

It's me, Theo.

I am Ibrahim.

Theo?

Is it you, my son?

Is it Theo?

I am here, Father.

- I am here! - Theo.

My son...

You are back.

You are back.

Are you contesting my will, Pasa?

Would I ever question your will, Your Majesty?

It is not my place.

You selected Ibrahim Pasa as Grand Vizier.

I bow before your illustrious will.

I have not managed to convey my thoughts, Your Majesty.

I came for something else.

What is it?

Tell me, Pasa!

Your Majesty, forgive me.

It is hard for me to speak of this matter.

Ferhat Pasa, your family's groom...

I have the deepest respect for Sultana Beyhan.

Are you going to tell me something Ferhat Pasa has done?

What have you been doing?

How are you so rich?

Your clothes are wonderful.

I will tell you everything, Father. One by one.

But I haven't seen my mother yet.

She wasn't at home.

Let's find her. Where is Niko? Let's find him too.

Father?

Has Mother gone?

Your mother has gone to heaven.

It has been ten years since she died.

She waits for me in heaven.

You were always in her prayers and in her dreams.

She raised all the boys in the village who were called Theo.

She hugged them as if she were hugging you.

Look! Niko is here.

I have nothing personal against Ferhat Pasa.

But stories are circulating about him.

He put down the Dulkadiroglu rebellion but he is now called...

...Ferhat Pasa the Cruel.

Such things are said when a rebellion is put down, Pasa.

A rebellion is put down with blood.

You are right, Your Majesty.

If only that was all that was said about him.

While we are at war with the enemy at Rhodes...

...the Pasa set himself up in such a way...

...that his descendants for seven generations will be rich.

Bribery and taxes.

Nepotism.

They are in dire straits.

Tales of these events are not sufficient, Pasa.

Bring me proof so I can take Ferhat Pasa's head.

But remember this.

Sultan Suleyman's scale of justice is never wrong.

What a joy it is to see your face.

I was always thinking of you.

I had wondered where you were or if you were alive.

Father thought you were dead but I didn't believe it.

"My Theo must be alive." I said.

"My heart says he is alive!"

"He is alive, he's going to come back some day."

Come on, let's go back home.

Are you hungry, Theo?

I can eat all of the fish.

You always ate too much.

You always wanted my plate too.

But who cares?

You are here now.

You can eat all the fish in Parga.

Let's go.

The things Mother said to me...

...made me realise that my heart has no value.

I disgraced my family.

You are being too hard on yourself.

They are angry because they care about you.

It will pass.

Give it some time.

Time heals everything.

Look at me.

I was invited to His Majesty's presence tonight.

Isn't that a miracle?

It is not.

It is Mother's will.

She reigns over all of our lives.

I didn't say that to hurt your feelings.

I am hurt.

That is why.

I need to get ready.

Auntie, we are going to see my father. You should come too.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

Please join us.

Of course.

I miss eating with you.

Sultana Hurrem.

Here you go.

I am going to have lunch with the ladies.

I asked Sumbul Agha...

...what is going to happen tonight.

He didn't tell me.

You tell me.

Is she going to see His Majesty?

I swear I don't know.

Nobody knows.

Or all of you are liars.

Nigar Kalfa.

We are going to the bath with my Sultana.

Is everything ready?

It is.

I'll be there shortly.

She is getting ready, it's Thursday.

She is going to see His Majesty.

Sultana Hurrem, you said it wouldn't happen again.

It seems Sultana Mahidevran is the Sultan's Haseki.

Shut up, Ayse. Stay out of it.

I will rip your tongue out, Ayse!

I am going to show everyone who the Haseki is.

Why are you saying this to me?

Say that to Sultana Mahidevran.

Watch it, Ayse.

- Be careful. - Sultana Hurrem.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to give me a poisoned fur too?

You are talking to a Sultana. Don't forget that!

Be careful what you're saying or...

Or what?

I will kill you!

I will kill you and feed you to the dogs!

You are dead, Ayse! You are dead!

- Damn your tongue, Ayse! - Let go of me!

I remember this olive oil.

The smell...

...the taste.

Eleni's bread...

...mother's cheese.

Here you go.

All yours.

Theo, how did you become so rich?

You have your own servants...

...and you bring us chests full of gifts.

First, I became Ibrahim.

I was at the Saruhanlı Ranch, in Manisa.

The Lady of the Ranch...

...took interest in me and made sure I had a good education.

One day...

...Prince Suleyman visited our ranch when he was hunting.

I was playing the violin.

He summoned me.

He liked how I played.

So he took me to the Manisa Palace with him.

I spent seven years there.

Then Sultan Suleyman took the throne.

What did you do then?

We went to Constantinople together.

He became the Padishah...

...and I became his Master of Privy Chamber.

I became his closest friend.

His most loyal subject.

We went on campaigns together.

Belgrade, Rhodes...

We always came back victorious.

He promised me something in Rhodes. He said:

"If we return home victorious, I will send you to Parga...

...to see your family."

His Majesty kept his promise.

Here I am.

You had a life worthy of a fairy tale.

I am glad I gave you to the Ottomans.

If you had stayed here, you would be a fisherman.

I am proud of you, Ibrahim.

I wish your mother could have seen it.

I am sure she has, father.

I have always believed that.

I have felt that she has.

If I hadn't, I might have lost my mind.

That insolent!

I want to kill her!

I want to choke her.

I want to rip her throat apart.

Don't say that.

Don't.

Yes, don't protect me.

Protect my enemies.

Get out.

I want to be alone.

All of you, leave.

I can take care of my children.

Get out!

We are here!

My lion cub is here! My son!

You have grown up.

You can't sit on my lap anymore.

Look.

You will sit on the chair there.

Come here.

There is my Prince.

He is going to work with His Majesty now.

Here is your pen.

Your inkpot.

And some papers.

You can write and draw as you wish.

You should leave, Mother. I am going to work with His Majesty.

Please let me stay, my Prince.

I could just stand in a corner without bothering you.

You can stay.

We have so much to do.

When is Ibrahim coming back?

I missed him.

He will come back soon.

Father is asleep.

He said we should go fishing tomorrow.

No.

We should not.

The fish can wait.

My brother is here!

Niko.

Let's buy a big boat.

And we can repair this house. What do you say?

Or we could build a huge house.

By the beach.

The biggest house in Parga.

Forget about it.

You don't need to pay that much money.

We are fishermen.

Having too much would be bad for us.

You are going to go back anyway.

We are okay with what we have.

I am not going back, Niko.

He is not coming back, Gulfem.

We are separated forever.

There is a great sea between us.

I can't even dream of seeing him again...

...even from far away.

Look.

I have nothing else...

...but what is inside this box.

I want to put my whole life...

...in this box...

...lock it...

...and throw it into the sea that separates us.

It would be a shame to throw that butterfly away.

You should always carry it.

It will protect you.

Your heart is going to fly away to find your lover.

Are you out of your mind?

You can't have a fight with Hurrem. She will kill you.

She threw me out of the room because I spoke.

She can't do anything.

Have you forgotten what happened to me?

The things she has done to me?

She burned me with poison. God know what she'd do to you.

I couldn't help it.

She acts like she owns this place.

Contain yourself.

Don't do anything.

- Are you listening to us, Blue Eyes? - No.

I was going to sleep.

Sleep then. Don't make any noise.

I can't deal with you now.

Where are you going to sleep?

Down there with the others.

Sultana Hurrem wanted to be alone.

She is going to be alone for a long time.

I would sit here at night...

...I would think about you, get mad at you.

I was angry...

...I would swear at you, I would cry...

...and my mother would get angry with me.

You disappeared, brother. Disappeared.

We didn't hear anything from you.

But I knew you were alive.

You forgot about us!

I've never forgiven you for forgetting about us.

Why?

Why, Theo?

Why didn't you come before?

When you...

...lose your other half...

...you feel there is something missing...

...you feel crippled.

Since the day I left...

I...

I always wanted to go back.

In my dreams...

...I would search for the road home.

I would get lost.

You have never left, Niko.

You have never been taken away...

...from your home, from your family, from your sea.

I spent my whole life grieving for you.

Then...

We should end your grief.

For grief...

...rots the heart.

My brother.

I have kept this for you.

My mother's violin!

Are you going to play it, or have you forgotten how to do it?

I have not forgotten anything, Niko.

Your Majesty.

Let your concubine have this.

Please do not deprive me...

...of your touch.

I have been longing for it.

Sadika?

What are you doing here?

I should ask you the same. What are you doing here?

I couldn't sleep. I was getting some fresh air.

Don't lie to me. You gave something to Boncuk.

I saw you.

You can tell your lies to Sumbul Agha.

Move or I am going to scream and wake everyone up.

Okay! Be quiet. I am coming.

We will see how loyal you are now.

You are done.

Move!

What happened to Ayse Hatun?

- Oh no, Ayse Hatun! - Who would do such a thing?

I want to go to class by myself.

I don't want Gulsah to come with me.

- Why is that? - My father said...

...I am a big man now.

- My Sultana. - Gulsah, leave.

I am going by myself.

Sure, my Pasha. We'll do that.

My Sultana.

I need to tell you something.

Ayse Hatun is dead. Someone slit her throat.

- What? - What happened?

Come. Your punishment is over.

- Ayse Hatun... - Look...

...you are going to be punished again.

Do not mention her name.

She is dead.

They found her body.

She is dead?

How?

Was she sick?

Someone slit her throat.

And just left her there.

Who?

Who did this?

Nobody knows.

Poor girl.

Very unfortunate.

I feel bad for her.

My Valide Sultana.

Ayse Hatun, one of His Majesty's concubines...

...was murdered last night.

What are you saying, Sumbul Agha?

What do you mean she was murdered?

Someone slit her throat.

We found the body in the courtyard this morning.

There was blood everywhere.

Who did it? Who is the killer, Sumbul Agha?

I won't allow a killer under this roof.

Find whoever killed her!

Come here!

Tell me or I will slit your throat!

I don't know anything!

How come? You stay in the same room...

...and you fight with each other every day. Don't lie to me!

I will hand you over to the Valide Sultana and tell her you did it.

Gulnihal was...

...in the room last night.

I went to sleep.

Her bed was empty when I woke up.

I thought she went downstairs early.

We will see if you are telling the truth.

Who did this?

Did nobody see what happened?

Do you not fear God? Have you no conscience?

Speak!

I don't know who did it but everyone knows who hated Ayse the most.

Who is that?

Can't you speak? Answer Daye Hatun!

Hurrem Hatun.

You saw it too, Nigar Kalfa.

You know the things she said yesterday in front of us all.

What did Hurrem say?

She said "I'm going to kill you and feed you to the dogs!"

Is this true?

Did all of you hear her say that?

She must have said that out of anger.

We can't accuse a mother of a prince...

...because of some things she said?

- But we heard her. - I think she did it.

We should talk to Ayse's roommate Sadika.

I did, Daye Hatun.

She doesn't know anything.

Sumbul Agha told me this morning that His Majesty has sent a messenger...

...after Ibrahim Pasha to Parga.

- He sent a letter. - When did he send it?

The messenger went just after him.

This doesn't sound good, Gulfem.

I need to talk to His Majesty.

Did you hear, my Sultana?

Someone slit Ayse's throat.

Everyone suspects Hurrem.

Things are getting worse since Pargali left.

- Have you ever fallen in love? - Me?

So many times.

And all of them got married.

Still, this is not too bad.

I cast my net on any woman I want...

...and any mermaid coming out of the sea.

What about you?

I have.

- I loved the impossible one. - Why is that?

You are powerful, rich...

...and handsome.

You are at least as handsome as me.

What kind of woman wouldn't want you?

Those things aren't always enough for love, Niko.

My love is unreachable, behind the Kaf Mountain.

Behind the Kaf Mountain.

Did you fall in love with the daughter of the cruel king?

You are close.

Not his daughter.

His sister.

His sister?

Or is it...

...your love that exiled you?

You sent for me.

Let us visit the bazaar today.

We will go in disguise.

We should see how the people are doing.

Are we going right now, Your Majesty?

We should take some measures.

We are going to be around your subjects. We should take some time.

Why should we wait, Pasa?

Ibrahim would have taken the measurements in no time.

Sumbul Agha.

Gulnihal Hatun.

Did you hear?

I did.

It is so sad.

It was just yesterday when we were having a chat.

When did you go back to Hurrem's chambers?

We didn't. She kicked us out.

She was furious last night.

We slept downstairs with the others.

Why was she furious?

She and Ayse had a fight.

I told her not to act like that. And she told me to get out.

She said she wanted to be alone.

Was there nobody with her?

No.

She was alone.

Sumbul Agha?

I am scared.

Don't be.

I will protect you no matter what.

Did you find out anything new?

Is His Majesty in his chamber?

His Majesty has left the palace, my Sultana.

I will wait for him.

Even if it gets late.

Isn't Ibrahim Pasha's room empty?

I will wait for him there.

You honour us. We missed you here.

You haven't been around recently, Matrakci.

Ibrahim Pasha has left me alone, sir.

It is time he comes back.

Hello, sir.

- Where are these from? - Aleppo.

- How many batches? - Don't you have any Bursa silk?

Of course, but we set them aside for our valuable customers.

Look.

These are from Bursa.

I sold three batches to the palace the other day.

Ibrahim Pasha the Favourite was here.

The Grand Vizier himself...

...bought chests of the stuff and left.

Why did you call him Ibrahim the Favourite?

If he's His Majesty's favourite, he's ours too.

Matrakci is a very close friend of Ibrahim Pasha.

Let's go. You too, Matrakci.

Where are we going, sir?

To see Zembilli Hodja.

We are going to check the basket.

Let's see what kind of complaints have been thrown in the basket.

"Help us, Hodja Effendi.

Ferhat Pasha is taking all our money.

We can't even buy bread.

We can't pay his taxes

We are tired of working...

...for nearly nothing at the docks.

We are the merchants of Edirnekapı.

Ferhat Pasha...

...has destroyed our market."

We are all very afraid after Ayse's death.

- I hope my Mustafa doesn't know. - We didn't tell him.

We don't even mention it near him.

Who could have done this, my Valide?

It will come out.

I won't let the devil stay under my roof.

What did you find out, Daye?

I talked with everyone in the harem.

They mentioned a fight that happened yesterday.

Hurrem had a fight with...

...Ayse and threatened her in front of everyone.

She had said she would kill her.

Sumbul Agha and Nigar Kalfa witnessed it also.

I also heard...

...a part of the fight yesterday.

We have all seen what she did...

...to her closest friend, Gulnihal.

She might have done the same to Ayse.

What does Gulnihal say? Or was she too afraid to talk?

Hurrem had kicked her and the other concubine out.

She had said she wanted to be alone.

I don't want your greetings...

...or fake politeness.

I have lost all my faith in you after what you did.

Why are you angry with me, my Valide Sultana?

What did I do wrong?

What do you think?

You were saying that you would kill Ayse.

That was because I was very angry.

What kind of anger is that...

...that we find Ayse dead the day after it.

You killed her.

No.

I did not.

I swear I did not.

I don't believe you.

My grandchildren won't be staying with you until you're proven innocent.

I won't leave them with you while there is suspicion.

Daye, take the children.

No.

Lock her door and put a guard on it.

Don't take my children away!

Give her to me.

Mihrimah! Mehmet!

Please! Don't go!

Don't take them! Mehmet!

Mihrimah!

I am innocent!

Please don't.

You honour me, Your Majesty.

It is an honour for me to have you here.

We were visiting the bazaar. I wanted to see you too.

Did you come here alone, Your Majesty?

I came here with my Vizier Ferhat Pasha, he's outside.

He is talking with the people.

Ferhat Pasha won't be hearing nice things...

...from your subjects.

Why is that?

Most of the requests in this basket...

...are complaints regarding Ferhat Pasha.

They are asking us for help, Your Majesty.

What are they complaining about concerning Ferhat Pasha?

I am ashamed to read them, Your Majesty.

Bribery, extortion and so on.

He who makes a mistake shall pay for it.

Like Piri Mehmet Pasha?

Yes?

We need to see the Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha.

We have brought a letter from His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan.

Ibrahim is a pasha?

- Who are you? - Me?

I am his father.

I am honoured, sir.

Ibrahim Pasha is the Grand Vizier of the Empire.

He went to the forest with his brother. He should be back soon.

Come, wait inside.

Come.

Are you hungry? I have some fish if you'd like.

Don't be unfair, Hodja.

Being unfair is the worst sin.

Don't ignore the truth just because Piri Pasha is your nephew.

It is obvious that what happened to Piri Pasha was unfair, Your Majesty.

Were you not with us to see what happened in Rhodes?

I gave the seal back to him. Why?

Because we needed to be united while fighting the infidels.

How many people died because of his wrong decision?

You have shed tears for our losses.

You have forgotten.

But I have not.

It was time. I did what was necessary.

You gave Piri Pasha's seal...

...to the Master of Privy Chamber Ibrahim.

Him being in that office...

...is against the ways of the Empire.

I can't say anything about Ferhat Pasha.

You know what is said about him.

But Ahmet Pasha is worthy of that office...

...because of his experience.

You didn't use the chain of command.

What he deserved...

I decide who deserves what, Hodja Effendi.

I give everyone what they deserve.

And if it is needed...

...I will take the office I gave...

...and take the head of the one who represents that office.

The Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha is here.

Sultan Suleyman wrote you a letter.

We were waiting for you, my Pasha.

His Majesty sent you this letter.

"I order you to come back.

But I don't know if you'll find here as you left it.

Don't even think about staying in Parga.

They were ordered to bring you back here.

If you are going to die...

...you are going to die here, by my side."

His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan!

I've been waiting for you for hours. Please listen to me.

Your Majesty.

I know that you don't even want to see my face...

...however sad it makes me.

I haven't been able to contact you for days.

I was repeatedly turned back from this door.

I've listened to you and Mother my whole life.

I've taken everything you said as an order.

I was content with the fate you had chosen for me.

I would rather die than embarrass you.

I will fulfill your wish.

Do not doubt it.

I will wait for my fiancé Celebi Mehmet to get better.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Ibrahim Pasha gave up his position and left.

It was because he respected you so much.

I also gave up my heart's desires.

My only wish...

...is that you spare his life.

Let Ibrahim live.

I am begging you.

You are dismissed, Hatice.

My Sultana.

The news we were waiting for has come.

His Majesty is back in the palace.

I need to see him immediately.

I have to go back to the capital.

I am leaving now.

We are coming with you. You can't go alone.

I have found you so late...

...I won't let you go.

We are coming with you.

Stay here, father.

It is safer that way.

Brother, if you are going to your own death, we're coming too.

Understand?

We won't be separated again.

I won't let him take you!

We are going to be together even if we die!

I don't want to talk about Hatice.

Hatice matter is over for me, my lion.

It is time that we talk about Hurrem.

What about her?

They've found a body in the harem today.

One of your favourites, Ayse Hatun.

Somebody slit her throat.

What does it have to do with Hurrem?

It does have something to do with her.

Because Hurrem is the killer.

Everything points to her.

Where are you, Suleyman?

Come and save me.

You came, Suleyman.

You came to save me.

You are the mother of my children.

You were my joy, peace and blessing.

I have missed you many times.

What did you do, Hurrem?

Have you become a murderer?

How can I sleep next to you now?
