In memory of Meral Okay...

Episode 63

You are in love with Ibrahim.

Is that why you killed my son?

You are the shadow between Ibrahim and me.

I guess this is yours.

So, it was you.

Who?

Excuse me, Your Highness,

but I don't understand what you are talking about.

Is this your house?

Your Highness,...

...did I do something?

-I made a mistake? -I asked if this is your house!

Yes, it is but...

Were you meeting with Ibrahim here?

Were you two betraying me in this house?

What?

Of course not, Your Highness.

What are you saying? How could I dare?

I have recieved a letter, Nigar.

It says Ibrahim Pasha has been cheating on me for years.

And that woman...

...lives...

...here, in this house.

Now...

...tell me the truth.

The baby are you carrying...

Whose is it?

Is it Ibrahim's?

Answer me, woman!

Do you want me to kill you?

Your Highness...

What they've told you is blackwashing!

It's a lie, I swear!

This is not Ibrahim Pasha's baby. How could it be? Is that even possible?

If it is a lie,...

...a blackwashing,...

...then tell me,

...who got you pregnant?

Speak, Nigar!

Or I will smother you right here.

Matrakchi Nasuh Effendi.

He is the father of the baby, Your Highness.

Nasuh Effendi?

Is that so?

I can't have a child, and that bothers Nasuh Effendi.

No matter how much I want,...

...no matter how much I try,...

I couldn't find a solution for this.

Aghas!

Take this woman.

Your Highness, don't do this. I swear I'm innocent!

-I just told you the truth! -The truth...

...will be revealed, Nigar.

Then, those thought I deserved this...

...will pay for this with their lives.

Your Highness...

-Take her away! -Your Highness!

Fatma?

What happened here? Why there isn't anybody?

I will learn right away, Your Highness.

-Your Highness. -What happened to this chamber, Fidan?

Why isn't anybody working here? Didn't I tell you to finish it immediately?

Your Highness, Gulfem Hatun came here and ordered us to stop it.

How dare she can order that?

I asked her, I asked why,...

...but she scolded me that she doesn't need to explain it to me.

Go, get her.

-Let's see what she wants. -Yes, Your Highness.

You lost again, brother.

I will defeat you next time,...

...but who knows when.

You know, you are going to Manisa tomorrow.

Brother, can we come with you?

No, Selim. You belong with His Majesty.

But we will miss you so much.

I will miss you, too,...

...but the duty calls me.

-Why are you going there? -To gain state experience, Bayezid.

Manisa is a big province.

The Prince who becomes successful at ruling there...

...will rule the state...

...when the time comes.

Our father accended to the throne from Manisa, didn't he?

Yes.

Will you accend to the throne too, brother?

Will you be a Sultan like our father?

May God grant a long life to our father Sultan Suleyman,...

...he will rule the world for many more years.

Instead of losing him, I'd rather die as a Prince.

However, we can't know what God's plan is.

Maybe it will be necessary for me to accend to the throne earlier.

I need be ready for it. Because when that day comes...

...I will be ruling the world.

I will shape the destiny of this supreme empire.

Father!

Your Majesty.

It is very good to see all my princes together.

My brothers and I were plaaying matrak.

I'd like you to play with me before you leave.

I would be honored, Your Majesty.

Gulfem is trying my patience.

I will dismiss her if this goes on.

What would His Majesty say?

You know, he appointed her.

We will take care of her as we've sent Nigar away.

-Your Highness. -Gulfem Hatun.

Explain it to me immediately. Why did you stop the renovation of my chamber?

That is not my decision. It is His Majesty's order.

What order is it?

He didn't approve that...

...deceased Queen Mother's chamber would be given to you.

Since when...

...His Majestly intervenes in the harem affairs?

Or did you tell him about that?

It has nothing to do with me.

Sultana Hurrem informed him.

-Who else could it be? -Your Highness, calm down!

You've developed your skills pretty much, Mustafa.

Thanks to you, Your Majesty.

Congratulations.

You made His Majesty do what you wanted again!

He took the chamber from me.

Very well.

It was a disrespect to the Queen Mother's sacred memory.

You told him on me right away, didn't you?

You hide behind His Majesty. You deceived him with your tears.

If the tears were the trick,

you would have many chlidren. You know...

...you're the one who keeps crying.

-Shut up or-- -Or what?

What will you do?

Seeing you growing up,...

...becoming powerful monarch makes me proud.

But...

...sometimes I look at you...

...and sorrow takes over me.

As you grow up,...

...we lose our innocence, Suleyman.

Mustafa?

Are you alright?

I'm fine, Your Majesty.

Oh, God,...

...don't let me shed my own blood.

If it is in my destiny, take my life now.

Don't let me do that.

If my eyes will to see it, make me blind.

Take your light away from me, don't show me it.

If my tongue will give the command,...

...mute me, don't let me do it.

Mahidevran, accept it.

You can not mange the harem.

I think you should ask His Majesty to dismiss you...

...before you get even more embarrassed.

Otherwise, His Majesty will dismiss you.

Maybe I should leave the harem, too?

People are unhappy.

Concubines, aghas and forewomen...

...aren't given their salaries.

As they say,...

...you are in debt with almost everybody.

We are not in debt with anyone.

On the contrary, we're drowning in money.

The Treasurer is here,

...you can ask her.

Her Highness is right.

We're not with anyone's debt.

The salaries are being paid, as well.

Is that so?

I do wonder, Mahidevran,...

...what's the sourc for all those expenses?

Where do the golden coins come from?

It is none of your business.

Additionally,...

...do not talk on me ever again!

If you are powerful enough, face me yourself.

She just storms around. Anyway.

How is Sultana Hatice, Gulfem Hatun?

I thought she were going to make a visit today.

She is resting.

She will be here tomorrow to see the Prince off.

Hatice?

I got so worried.

Tell me what happened now.

What do you want me to tell you, sister?

I don't have the heart to talk about this disgrace.

What?

Were the things written in the letter true?

They didn't even write all of it.

What do you mean?

It is obvious that Ibrahim is cheating on me.

I saw the woman with my own eyes.

Morover, he knocked her up.

She has a bun in the oven.

Oh, my God!

I've been nursing a viper in my bosom for years,...

...but I didn't know that.

How could it be, Hatice?

Who can dare such immorality?

Aghas!

Get out.

Nigar Kalfa?

This chamber is enough for Mehmet, mother.

We should move to brother Mustafa's chamber.

It has a terrace, too.

Mihrimah,...

...instead of thinking about these, worry about your lessons.

You've been neglecting them.

I'm not.

You may talk to my teachers if you like.

They're all pleased with me.

But I'm not pleased with them.

Because all of them are old.

I wonder who you took up after.

-Your Highness. -Yes?

Perchem Agha would like to see you.

Your Highness, they blackwash me.

My baby's father is Nasuh Effendi.

Who are you trying to fool, woman? Isn't it the reason that you got divorced?

Yes, but...

...later, he said it was a mistake.

He came to my home one night.

He asked me to marry him again.

I didn't accept it.

I sent him away.

He kept on coming to me.

I was carried away by my feelings.

I took him in my home.

He is my ex-husband after all.

Then I returned to the palace.

As you know,...

...I was the Treasurer...

...when I became the Treasurer.

I realised that I was pregnant when I was the palace.

I couldn't tell anyone as I was embarrassed.

Didn't you...

...get exciled after Ibrahim returned?

He wanted it,...

...didn't he?

It has nothing to do with the Pasha.

I made a mistake on purpose to be exiled.

Explain us about the letter, woman.

Who wrote it? Why?

Who could it be, Your Highness?

Of course, it must be Sultana Hurrem.

Your Highness.

What is the situation, Perchem Agha?

I have talked to Gulshah Hatun.

Sultana Hatice went there.

They took Nigar and left.

I'm sure she wil deny it and put the blame on me.

Tell Gulshah not to go anywhere.

Yes, Your Highness.

And you are accusing a sultana without a shame.

What does Hurrem have to do with it?

You don't know, Sultana Beyhan.

She hates me because I upset her games she plans...

...on Queen Mother.

She came to my house.

She told me that she would take revenge on me.

Everyone knows about the hostility between the Pasha and me.

Her main problem is Ibrahim Pasha.

What would she do with me?

Is there anybody...

...who can prove what you are saying?

Of course, there is.

Nasuh Effendi will tell you everything.

Aghas!

Find Nasuh Effendi immediately.

-Bring him to me. -Nasuh Effendi,...

...left with the Pasha last night, Your Highness.

-Where? -We don't know, Your Highness.

Inform me as soon as he returns.

And lock this woman up in a room.

She won't see daylight.

Hatice,...

...do you think she tells truth?

I don't think so.

But I hope so.

Otherwise, even if rip my heart off,...

...the pain in me won't be relieved.

-Be careful. I want him alive. -Yes, Your Grace.

So, finally is time to see him, huh, Matrakchi?

We will finally see the traitor's beautiful face called "His Holiness".

Unlees the birds gave him a message, of course.

Don't worry,...

...no one knows where we are, except His Majesty.

-Mustafa Pasha. -Your Grace.

They are here!

Ibrahim Pasha is here.

Are you the traitor called "His Holiness"?

Ibrahim Pasha,...

...so, you're here.

I've been waiting for you for a long time.

-Who are you ? -Don't you remember me, Pasha?

I am Alauddin.

I'm the son of former Grand Vizier Piri Mehmet Pasha.

You know my Head Falconer, Ibrahim of Parga.

From now on, he is the Master of Privy Chamber.

From now on, the Grand Vizier of Ottoman Empire...

is be the Master of Privy Chamber Ibrahim.

Don't wait for the power to give up on you.

When you feel it is necessary,...

...don't hesitate,...

and you give up on the power.

So, it was you...

Ibrahim Pasha,...

this world hasn't seen a person more cruel than you.

First, you dismissed my father.

Then, you got afraid that he would return, and you had him killed.

And you made my brother Mehmet do it.

You seduced him, too.

These are slanders.

I didn't have Piri Mehmet Pasha killed.

He died in the fire.

You were the one who burnt our mansion down, Pasha.

Everyone knows that, but they remain silent.

Because they are afraid to end up like him.

It is a shame that...

...this state is ruled by converts...

...like you instead of muslims.

Take him away.

Kill me, too, Pasha. I'm not going anywhere.

Only my dead body will leave here.

You will be judged because of the crimes...

...you committed against the Grand Vizier...

...of Ottoman Empire.

I will hang you in the center of the bazaar as a warning to others.

I don't know if you've heard what Figani's said, Pasha.

However, I have been informed.

"The hangman of the dearest's side-glance,...

...took the rope of his hair,...

...O Figani, it is like he wants to hang you by torturing."

Mustafa Pasha.

Yes, Your Grace.

Behead him.

Take it around the whole capital as a warning for people.

My enemies should the end...

...of "His Holiness" that they brag about.

Yes, Your Grace.

Ibrahim Pasha took the road last night.

He must have arrived there by now.

He will think his arch enemy is dead as you wish.

Valiant men like Alauddin...

...are rare in the world.

He sacrificed himself for our mekka.

May he rest in peace.

It is my duty to take his famiy's revenge now.

Your Holiness,...

My advice to you is that...

...you should end your grudge against Ibrahim Pasha.

It is dificult for you...

...to deal with his power.

Ibrahim Pasha...

...takes his power from His Majesty.

It won't last forever.

He has already began to prepare his own doom with his deeds.

Soon, Ayas Pasha.

We are going on a campaign with him soon.

And it will be his last campaign.

Your Highness.

Sumbul,

I'm going to see His Majesty.

Your Highness,...

Ibrahim Pasha has just come.

I wanted to inform you.

Realy?

Good.

Did you do what I told you to, Sumbul?

I did exaclty what you wanted, Your Highness.

Everything will be as you wish.

I don't want any mistakes this time.

We will end Mahidevran's reign at all costs.

Your Highness,...

What about Ibrahim Pasha?

As you know, he will try to stop us.

Don't worry about him.

The Pasha has enough on his plate.

Your Highness.

Come in

Your Majesty.

Come, Pargali.

Tell me, what's the situation?

Your Majesty, finally, the enemy has shown his face.

Who was that traitor?

Piri Mehmet Pasha's son, Alauddin.

He thought I was the responsible for his father and brothers' death.

-Where is he now? -I caught him alive.

However, he killed himself.

Piri Mehmet Pasha was a very valuable statesman.

His unfortunate death destroyed his family.

Despite everything, I would never think Alauddin would be a part of this betrayal.

-May God forgive his sins. -Amen.

Your Holiness, Iskender Celebi,...

...I am honored that you have granted an audience.

Rakel Hatun,...

...I have heard that the harem's debt has increased pretty much.

Well, I gave them everything I had.

How long will it go on?

It is the time, woman.

Go to Sultana Mahidevran tomorro,...

...ask her to pay it off.

What if she won't pay? What if she chase me away again?

That is what's going to happen.

But this time, you won't keep quiet.

There's someone I especially want you to talk to in the harem.

Sure.

Who am I going to talk to?

So, it turns out your accusations against Iskender were false.

I still suspect they have a connection, Your Majesty.

Drop the case, Pargali.

You accused Iskender Chelebi for no reason.

Let's say I did.

You know what Iskender Chelebi thinks about me.

He keeps saying he was born as a muslim,...

...and thinks he ,s superior to me.

He poisons the people with this feeling.

Moreover,...

...he thinks that the state should be cleared of the converted ones.

Let them talk, Pargali Why does it bother you?

No matter what they say,...

...you follow me and I will follow you.

Hatice.

You haven't eaten since yesterday.

You'll get weak.

I can't comprehend it, sister.

How could Ibrahim do this?

And with a forewoman at our service...

How do we know it's true?

You heard the woman.

If Hurrem is involved in it, we can expect anything.

Gulfem?

Where are you been?

I just had a chance to come here, Your Highness. What happened?

-Oh, Your Highness. -Pasha.

-So, you're back. -Were you waiting for me?

Did something bad happen?

Sultana Hatice is waiting for you.

She weren't informed, either. She must be worried so much.

I was in Edirne.

I'm sure you've heard about it, I had an enemy called "His Holiness".

he doesn't exist anymore.

I beheaded him as a warning to others.

How nice.

Now, you will live in peace with your family,...

...happily with Sultana Hatice and your children.

You prevented Mahidevran to be sent away, as well.

And Mustafa is going to the sanjak.

What's your next move, Ibrahim?

Enthronising Mustafa?

These words have no meanings.

This won't go on like this, Pasha.

One day, you will lose...

...everyone carry you through, everyone supports you.

I assure you.

Those days will come soon.

Your Highness,...

...everything has been completed as you desired.

Everything is done.

We are ready to...

...take the road tomorrow after Friday prayer, inshallah.

Good.

I don't want any problems, Sumbul Agha.

You don't need to worry.

As I said,...

...Fidan Hatun wil be the Head of Treasurers of Manisa Palace.

Of course.

Your Highness,...

...have you made a decision about Fatma Hatun?

She will stay here with me.

-Mother. -Mustafa.

Sumbul and I were talking about the preperations.

They informed me. You organised a pretty magnificent farewell ceremony.

Thank you.

That's what suits you, son.

Your Highness,...

-If you wouldn't like anything, I... -You may take your leave.

You can leave, too.

Leave me alone with my son.

Suleyman.

Are you thinking of Mustafa?

Don't be upset.

He's not going to the far end of the world.

We can visit him whenevr we like.

Also, he's so happy.

This is the dream of all the princes.

Even Selim asks about...

...when he will go.

This is our last night, mother.

Now, I will live in my own palace.

Mustafa,...

...this is your main palace.

When the time comes, you will of course come back.

And as the sultan of the world.

Prepare yourself for this sacred duty.

Because that's why you are leaving. Don't forget this.

You will get powerful rapidly after you go to the sanjak.

You'll be the strongest crown prince.

Stay away from the evil eyes...

...and also from the ones who praise you too much.

Don't fully trust anyone.

Even if it is your father,...

...always be suspicious.

Most importantly, be fair.

Keep following justice.

The world is not a fun fair, son.

Keep working hard,...

...provide service for the people.

Share your food...

...and treasury with the poor.

Embrace them with your love.

So, when the time comes...

...they will be with you,...

...not against you.

Don't worry, mother.

Go back to your chamber.

Sleep well, have a rest.

Tomorrow is the big day for us.

Oh, God...

I could never thought of that.

Just wait.

There's nothing certain, yet.

We should talk to Nasuh Effend, first.

You are right, Your Highness.

Where's Nigar Hatun?

I had her locked in a room.

She'll wait until the truth is revealed.

Your Highness.

Dont be afraid, my dear.

Your mother is here.

These days will pass.

Your father will save both of us from this trouble.

Your Highness, forgive me,...

...I had to leave without informing you last night.

It is not the first time, Ibrahim.

I am used to it.

Your Highness,...

...I should go back to the palace if you'll excuse me.

It is pretty late now.

Okay.

We'll be there tomorrow as Mustafa is leaving.

Have a good night.

Your Highness.

Your Grace.

I am going to my chamber.

You know, we'll wake up early tomorrow.

Good night.

Your Highness.

Don't think about bad things because I wasn't home last night.

It was about a state affair.

I was after an enemy who'd been threatening us for years.

I finally caught him.

He got punished as he deserved.

We can live in peace now.

That's my only wish, Ibrahim,...

...peace.

Fatma.

Don't cry anymore.

I am afraid, Your Highness.

What if this is my last night with you?

What if I can't see you again?

Where did this fear come from?

You have been gifted many concubines.

They will console you away from me.

I'm so afraid that you'll forget me.

Don't wear yourself out thinking of these.

Be with my mother here.

Keep her away from troubles.

She shouldn't be harmed.

Protect her especially against Sultana Hurrem.

Don't worry.

Help!

Help!

Oh, my God!

The labour has started. Call the physician!

Your Highness...

Help me, Your Highness...

Your Highness, please help me.

Your Highness?

Your Highness?

This is yours, Ibrahim.

Your son.

Come in.

Who sent this?

King of Hungary, I. János, Your Grace.

You may take your leave.

Oh, Senior Gritti...

Come in.

Your Grace, Sultana Mahidevran is here.

Let her in.

-Your Highness. -Your Grace.

How is the Prince?

Very excited. He is getting ready.

I...

...came here to ask for an advice about harem.

If it is somethng I can help you with, of course.

It has been a long time.

I had met with the Head of Treasury Iskender Chelebi.

The subsidy that was spared for the harem was not enough.

However, he used the campaign as an excuse...

...and didn't spare an additon subsidy.

So, I...

...borrowed money from a Jewish merchant...

...in secret to pay for the expenses.

I thought I'd pay it off on time but I couldn't.

And I borrowed in addtion to that.

We have...

...spent mush more than the annual subsidy of harem.

What have you done?

This...

If His Majesty learns about this,...

..it won't be good at all.

That's why I'm here, Ibrahim.

Help me.

Moreover, when you have a rival as Hurrem Hatun.

You should have been more careful.

It was all for my Mustafa.

I know.

You even bought golden inlaid plates.

I will take care of it.

Who lent you the...

...money?

Rakel Hatun

I will take care of it. Give me a few days.

Come, Nasuh Effendi.

Your Highness, good morning.

I'll find out if it is good or bad, Nasuh Effendi.

Your Highness, I'm curious that you wanted to see me.

Come closer.

Closer.

I have few questions for you, Nasuh Effendi.

But you'll tell me whatever the truth is.

It is impossible for me not to, Your Highness.

You diveorced Nigar once.

What was the reason?

Err...

Because she couldn't give me a child, Your Highness.

Did you see each other later on?

Of course, we did, Your Highness.

I visit her time to time...

...I ask her if she needs anything.

Have you ever...

...sleep together?

Forgive me, Your Highness,...

...but I don't understand why you are asking.

I've found out Nigar is pregnant.

Do you know who the father of the baby is?

Well, Nigar Hatun, get prepared.

You will leave here soon.

Don't go anywhere until then,...

...no one should see you.

Alright.

Oh...

...if something goes wrong...

...and you get caught,...

...if people learn about your pregnancy, don't worry.

As I've said,...

...you will tell the child is mine.

You don't even know she is pregnant, do you?

I know, Your Highness.

Since you asked all of a sudden...

I apologize,...

...I felt embarrassed towards you.

So, you should know who got her pregnant.

I did, Your Highness.

So, why did you hide it?

It should have been that way, Your Highness.

I mean, she wanted that.

She doesn't trust me after what we've been through.

How did you find out?

I recieved a letter.

However, it was saying the father of the baby was not you,...

...it was İbrahim.

Who wrote it?

This is slander! How dare!

I'm asking you one last time, Nasuh Effendi.

Tell me the truth.

Is there...

...a relationship between Ibrahim and Nigar?

There is no chance.

No, it is impossible, Your Highness.

I hope this is the truth.

Otherwise, you'll be a part of the betrayal.

Now, go.

But we've talked will remain a secret between us.

Nobody will know that, especially Ibrahim. Understood?

Understood, Your Highness.

You may take your leave.

All the measures have been taken for the Prince's safety, your Majesty.

The most trusted guards have been given to his service.

You shouldn't worry.

Good.

Come in.

Your Majesty.

Come, Pargali.

Your Grace.

Your Majesty, there's a message from King Szapolyai.

What is it?

Signore Alvise Gritti.

Signore Alvise Gritti, as you know,...

...took an action dreaming of the throne of Hungary.

He caused the death of bishop of Varadin.

It caused an unrest among Hungarian people.

So, Signore Gritti took a hostage.

Then, he was excecuted by cutting his hands...

...in the morning,...

...his legs in the afternoon, and his head in the evening.

This is what you get if you lust for the throne, Ibrahim Pasha.

Everyone should take an example of Signore Gritti,...

...who forget where thet come from and...

...dream of ruling.

You are right, Your Majesty.

Welcome.

-Welcome, aunt! -Oh, my dear...

You look so beautiful.

Princes.

My brother is leaving, aunt.

I wish could go, too.

Those days will come, Selim.

You will fly aaway as falcons one by one.

Make way!

His Highness Prince Mustafa!

Aunt.

Mustafa...

It is time for me to leave.

I wish the deceased Queen Mother could see you today.

Aunt.

His Holiness got what he deserved.

-Haven't you heard of that? -Of course, I have, Your Grace.

Alauddin's head is shown all around the capital.

Yes.

Those who insults and attempts to kill...

...the Grand Vizier...

...of the Sublime State should be scared.

You don't need to be scared.

Your Grace.

Come, Matrakchi.

What is it? What are you doing here?

There's a matter I'd like to talk to you

Later.

Your Majesty.

Pargali, where's Mustafa?

He bids farewell, your Majesty. He'd be here now.

Mehmet, you little lion.

-Your siblings are your responsibility now. -Don't worry, brother.

My prayers will be with you, son.

I give you my blessings.

May God bless you, too.

Amen.

It is hard to leave your child.

May god give you patience.

Amen.

May it be blessed, Mahidevran. - Thank you my sultana

Don't be upset.

Thank you, Your Highness.

May God give you patience.

Thanks.

Mahidevran, don't wear yourself out.

This seperation won't last too long.

Hurrem.

Come with me.

Pasha.

Your Highness.

Remember, once, we talked about something.

I told you about three predatory animals.

Three beasts that eats into people's heart.

I do remember.

Tiger, lion and wolf.

Yes.

One of them is lust,...

...the other is arrogance,...

...and the last one is grudge.

Human nature usually lose...

...against those feelings.

You can never destroy them. They bother you as long as your heart beats.

You, Your Highness,...

...never let those three fires...

...hunt you.

You take control of them.

Then,...

...no one can stop you.

Come on, His Majesty shouldn't wait.

What is it, Your Highness? What is wrong?

Did you write this?

-Your Highness-- -Don't even try to deny it, Hurrem!

That's right, Your Highness.

I wanted to inform you in this way in case you didn't believe me.

Is this how to take revenge for what happened lately?

It doesn't matter why I've done that. What matters is that it is the truth.

Truth? They were all lies.

What?

Didn't you go to the place I told you about?

I did.

Nigar was there, moreover, she was with child.

However, her baby's father is Nasuh Effendi.

And you believed that.

Of course, I didn't.

But I talked to Nasuh Effendi, too.

When he told me the same--

How do you know they didn't make an agreement?

-Because Nasuh Efendi is the most loyal friend of the Pasha.

This is nonsense!

Nasuh Effendi is a trustworthy person.

Also, he was her husband.

-Who can accept such a disgrace? -If Pasha wants it, anything can happen.

They'd been married for a long time.

But somehow, they have a child years after they got divorced.

How could you believe it?

Because you want to believe it, don't you?

Hurrem!

If you think it is a lie,...

...then prove it.

Alright.

-What is it? -I have a witness, Your Highness.

You should listen to her.

You didn't eat anythin?

Is his Grace here?

Tell me.

He is not here. Prince Mustafa is leaving to go to the Sanjak today.

Agha,...

...I am begging you.

At least, inform Nasuh Effendi that I'm here.

No, woman.

I will give you anything you like.

-I'll shower you with gold! -Get off. You'll get me in trouble.

Agha!

God...

This is a never-ending torment.

How long will we wait, Hurrem?

They are coming, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Gulshah...

What happened to you?

His Grace...

...tried to kill me, Your Highness.

Who are you that the Pasha would do this to you?

Because I overheard his relationship with Nigar Kalfa.

They thought I was dead,...

...but I survived.

I sought protection with Sultana Hurrem.

I told her everything.

-Why should I believe you? -I didn't trust her at first, either.

I charged an Agha. He followed Nigar.

-While the Pasha was entering the ho-- -Shut up, Hurrem!

Hush.

-Your Highness-- -Get off!

Don't ever touch me!

I understand the pain you feel, Your Highness.

It is hard to accept it.

Unfortunately, this is the truth.

But I'm ready to do anything you want.

I will remeain silent if you like.

No one will learn about it.

Your Highness,..

...what will happen to me?

My Prince...

It is time for you to leave.

Listen to me before you set off.

I'm all ears, Your Majesty

My Mustafa...

My little lion.

My son...

The most supreme wealth is...

...wisdom.

The biggest poorness is foolishness.

The most terrible fear is arrogance.

The most supreme thing in a blood line is...

...good manners.

Son...

Avoid having relations with the fools.

When they try to help you, they actually harm you.

Avoid the having a relationship with the stingy.

Because when you really need them,...

...they won't come for help,...

...they just sit down.

Also avoid the relationship with the evil.

Because thet will sell you out for small things.

Also,...

Avoid relationships with the liars.

Because they are like mirage.

They will make you think the distant is close,...

...and will drive away your close ones.

I am going to represent your power and fairness, Your Majesty.

Your advices and ideas...

...will always be on my mind.

They will enlighten my path.

-Long live Sultan Suleyman! -Long live Sultan Suleyman!

-Long live Prince Mustafa! -Long live Prince Mustafa!

Your Highness, Rakel Hatun is here.

Let her in

Your Highness.

Why are you here again?

Forgive me, but I came to collect the debt.

Wait a bit more. I will arrange it.

It is impossible. I can't wait anymore.

I'm in bad shape, too.

I told you to wait.

But no, I can't wait anymore. You better take my life.

If you don't leave right now, that's what's going to happen!

Forgive me but...

...I don't trust you anymore.

You won't pay me back.

What do you want, woman?

We always pay our debt! Wait, you will have it!

-But I need it now. -Fatma!

Fatma, take this woman out! She'll never step in the harem again!

Your Highness, I want what's mine.

I want you to pay off your debt!

What is it, Matrakchi? Why the fuss?

Did you find Nigar?

No, Your Grace. Nigar Hatun is still missing.

But...

But?

Sultana Hatice summoned me.

Somebody told her about your relationship with Nigar Hatun.

-What did you say? -She knows Nigar is pregnant, Your Grace.

She asked me who the father is.

I said it is me.

But I don't know if she believed it or not.

How did she find out?

Who told her? Didn't she say anything?

She said she received a letter.

Your Grace,...

I think it has something to do with Nigar Hatun's dissapearance.

Ah! Let go off me! What are you doing?

Move! Don't come again before we call you. Otherwise, you will get nothing!

You can't do that! I'll report this to the Kadi! I want my golden coins!

Shut up and move!

-Sultana Gulfem! Sultana Gulfem! -[Speaks Arabic]

What's happening here?

Ah, Sumbul Agha! Help!

Rakel Hatun,...

...why are you shouting?

I beg you, help me to see the Treasurer.

Why?

Sumbul Agha?

What's the matter? -The Treasurer, Sultana Gulfem!

I have a problem, please listen to me.

Gulfem Hatun, Her Highness ordered this woman to be taken out.

It is important.

If you won't listen to me,...

...His Majesty will have to learn about this.

Leave her, Aghas.

Come with me.

Bla, bla, bla... The blabber!

Remember the woman you tried to kill?

You should remember Gulshah.

How did you...

You can't question God's might, Pasha.

Just a piece of advice from me,...

...you should change the ones at your service.

Because they can't keep up with you.

-I don't know what you are talking about. -Oh, you know very well, Pasha.

I know eveything.

I found out how you betrayed Sutana Hatice.

Only you can help me.

Just tell me, woman, I'm all ears.

I've been lending money to Sultana Mahidevran for months,...

...but I couldn't have anything back.

I go home empty-handed. She keeps throwing me out.

If you find a solution for that,...

...I will have to go to the Kadi.

Just wait.

How much does she owe you?

See, everything's written here.

Look, there's the Sultana's seal under it.

I had lent money to deceased Queen Mother, too,...

...but this never happened. She always pay before the due.

She never let me down.

Take this.

You should go now.

I'll take care of this matter.

But Sultana Gulfem...

Don't worry. You'll have it all back.

You know what will happen to you, don't you?

Sultana Hatice will divorce you.

Then, you will be dismissed from your position.

All your wealth and properties will be seized.

You'll be destroyed, Pasha.

Sultana Hurrem, do your best.

Nobody can come between me and Sultana Hatice,...

...nobody is enough powerful for that!

But Nigar Kalfa did.

She even gave you a child.

His Majesty will be very upset when he finds out.

You know,...

...he loves Sultana Hatice very much.

Accept it, Ibrahim. It is over.

This is the end, you lost.

Who will save you now?

Rakel Hatun came to Sultana Mahidevran.

But apparently she couldn't get what she wanted...

...as she talked to Gulfem Hatun afterwards.

Gulfem will absolutely tell this to, His Majesty.

Mahidevran is in big trouble.

This is her last night.

This is the end of her reign.

But you should be careful anyway.

Mahidevran wouldn't like Gulfem to speak.

She'll try to stop her.

Sumbul, keep your eyes peeled.

We may have to protect Gulfem.

Your Highness.

I was waiting for you.

I heard you talked to Rakel Hatun.

Did she tell you everything?

What have you done, Your Highness?

How could you burden harem with such debt?

Is this a right thing to do right before the campaign?

Harem has it's manners and procedures.

-You can't disregard them. -Watch your words, Gulfem!

I forbid you talking to me this way!

I will speak this wa if it's about the reputation of the harem.

Rakel Hatun was going to the Kadi, I barely convinced her.

It's my debt! It's nobody's business!

Then, pay it off, Your Highness... - Or what ? Would you complain?

-...or-- -Or what?

Will you report me?

I have a duty. I am obliged to explain everything to His Majesty.

If I remain silent and ignore it, I will be the part of this irregularity.

Are you threatening me?

If I wanted to do that, I would already have talked to him.

Find a way immediately, Your Highness. Otherwise, I'll go to His Majesty.

You're lucky that I made a promise to Sultana Hurrem.

Otherwise, I'd kill you right here!

Look at my face!

See what they've done to me. I almost died.

Do you know why?

I came back only to take revenge on the ones who did this to me!

On you...

On Fidan...

On Sultana Mahidevran...

On Ibrahim Pasha, on Nigar!

This is the end of you all.

My Sultana Hurrem will defeat all of you.

Get up, woman, we're leaving.

-Where are we going? -No questions, move.

I came across with Sultana Hurrem.

She told you some things about me.

Will you deny it?

Will you call it a blackwash?

"Sultana Hurrem is my enemy since the beginning,...

...she wants to spoil our happiness." Will you say that, Ibrahim?

What will you tell me?

How will you defend yourself?

Or will you repeat what Nigar told me?

Tell me the truth.

Look into my eyes.

Tell me you didn't betray me.

What you heard and see are true.

I'm the father of the baby.

-Your Highness. -Where were you?

You were missing again!

Your Highness, don't ask what happened.

I was in the bath, Gulshah attacked me.

Gulshah?

What is she doing here?

Apparently, Sultana Hurrem brought her back.

She took her under her protection.

That's all I needed!

What else happened, Your Highness?

Gulfem Hatun was here. Rakel told her everything.

She'll talk to His Majesty sooner or later.

She clearly threatened me.

We have to prevent this now!

What would you like us to do, Your Highness?

So, it is true.

At least, you didn't belittle yourself more denying it.

Take her away! Lock her up.

"We will live a dream, Your Highness."

"I am belong with you."

You said this. Do you remember?

But now I see...

...that you've woken up from the dream.

Years ago.

Don't touch me! I don't even want to see your face.

Listen to me!

Listen to me just for once.

Then I will leave...

...and you will never see me again.

Don't worry.

As long as you are with me, no one can kick you out of the harem.

Just don't repeat the mistakes you've made before.

I am grateful to you, Your Highness.

I'll never disobey you.

Gulshah?

What are you doing here?

How dare you come here after so many mistakes?

-Your Highness, I... -I wanted her to come here.

Do you mind?

Who are you to threaten Sultana Mahidevran?

This is what you get if you defy her!

Die!

What's happening there?

Gulfem Hatun!

Oh, my God!

Aghas! Is there anybody?

Come quick!

Get her up. Easy! Get the physician! Go, go!

You can't decide that, Hurrem.

I can take whoever I want. I'm not supposed to ask you.

Gülshah got fired because of her mistakes.

She can't return without my permission.

She'll leave now!

Mahidevran, leave my chamber.

And never step in here without permission.

-Hurrem-- -Tell on me whomever you like.

Gulshah will be here at my service.

As you wish, Hurrem.

You'll explain it to His Majesty.

This is not a one night stand, Ibrahim.

You've been together for years. She's pregnant!

It was over months ago, and I didn't know she was pregnant.

She hid it from me.

Luckily she did.

Otherwise how could I see your true colors?

Shame on you, Ibrahim!

You hurt me so bad...

...that I can't forget all my life.

There are things I can't forget either.

You made me do that.

-For the sake of Sublime State-- -Ibrahim, what are you hiding from me?

Your duty is to serve my family.

I'm the Sublime Ottoman State.

My whole world came crushing down around me that day.

I lost the truth.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Whom do I serve?

What's love? What's loyalty?

Trust me I tried to forget.

But you can't forget.

Is that why?

Is that why you cheated on me with Nigar?

It was a lie.

A lie even I believed,...

...A sea of lies I got lost in.

But then...

But then, the truth brought me to your shores again.

I returned to my family, to you.

You don't have a home anymore, Ibrahim.

You don't have a family.

Your Highness...

I don't know what to believe in anymore.

You said...

..."I lost the truth."

That's how I feel.

You've been lying at my face for years.

You made a fool out of me. And for who?

No, Ibrahim.

There is no explanation for this.

No reason can legalize this betrayal.

You took away...

...from me...

...the only thing...

I believed, I trusted, I took shelter in.

You took my love away.

-Your Highness-- -Don't touch me.

I don't want to see you anymore.

I don't want to look at you.

I don't want to hear your voice, either!

Hatice?

You know what hurts the most?

While I was mourning...

...for our son whom I caused the death of,...

...you were with Nigar.

-Hatice? -My Hatice?

-Sister... -I'm here, my dear, don't worry.

He should leave. Tell him to leave.

He should leave...

It hurts so bad, sister...

I don't want to breathe...

Hatice...

I'm scared.

Look, I'm here with you.

I'm here. Everything will be alright.

I promise you.

Everything will be alright, Hatice.

Come in.

Your Majesty.

-Yes? -Sumbul Agha sent me here.

Gulfem Hatun got attacked I was told she is in a bad condition.

Who can dare that?

I haven't been informed, Your Majesty. Gulfem Hatun was taken to the infirmary.

What happened to Gulshah?

She must have fought with someone in the old palace.

You have nothing to do with it, do you?

No, never.

I don't want her here, Fatma.

We must send her immediately.

Your Highness.

-What? -Gulfem Hatun...

Your Majesty.

Are you alright, Gulfem Hatun?

I'm fine, Your Majesty.

It isn't important. It's alright.

It is important. Who did this to you?

I don't know, I didn't see her.

She attacked me from behind.

Sumbul Agha came just in time, so I survived.

Sumbul, who was that traitor?

I swear, I couldn't see her, Your Majesty.

That demon run away when I got there.

I couldn't chase that demon since I was taking care of Gulfem Hatun.

Who would do that? Why?

Tell me if you know something.

Tell me!

I dont want to blame anyone...

...but the person attacked me...

...told me something, Your Majesty.

"Who are you to...

...to threaten Sultana Mahidevran?" she said.

Why would Mahidevran do this to you?

Did you have a disagreement?

I'd like to see His Majesty, inform him.

He isn't here, Your Highness.

Is that so? Where is he?

Come inside.

Your Highness.

Gulfem Hatun.

I came here as soon as I heard. How are you?

I feel better. Thank you, Your Highness.

Oh, God...

Who did this evil to you?

Unfortunately, it is uncertain who did it.

Although, the person attacked her...

...said some things but...

How? Said what?

How dare you, Mahidevran?

Do you see Gulfem as a rival, too?

-Forgive me but I don't-- -Someone attempted to kill Gulfem.

As what they said, you were the one who ordered it.

No.

Never! I didn't do anything! I have nothing to do with it!

Do you mean Gulfem is lying?

The fool who tried to kill her gave your name.

This is a trap, Your Majesty.

They try to put the blame on me How can you believe it? Is it possible?

Why would I do that? I swear it is a lie, a blackwash!

Is it also a lie that you sink harem into debt?

The money is incalculable that you borrowed from the Jewish merchant.

-It is true but-- -You had threatened her not to tell me.

Your Majesty, no...

I knew that this would happen when I gave the harem to your responsibility.

But I wanted to give you one more chance.

One more chance to restart and fix everything.

You couldn't take it.

What a pity...

I dismiss you. Go back to your chamber now.

-Your Majesty-- -I told you go back to your chamber.

Pasha...

Pasha.

Hurrem did it again.

She set such a trap that...

...I can't get rid of this smear for years.

His Majesty dismissed me.

I don't know what will happen to me.

Ibrahim, please do something. Prevent it!

Ibrahim, don't you hear me?

Please, hush now.

I don't want to hear you.

Bear the consequences of whatever you've done.

I'm tired of picking up after you for years!

Your Majesty.

I just saw Sultana Mahidevran.

Did you hear what she did?

She attempted to kill Gulfem Hatun.

Your are one of the reasons.

I overlooked her mistakes many times for you and Mustafa.

But that's it.

I've had enough.

I don't want her in my palace. I'll send her to Manisa.

She should be grateful she's still alive.

I understand.

Tell Iskender Chelebi to find whoever that Jewish merchant is and pay off the debt.

As you command.

-Why are you here?

There were a few things I had to do. We are on the edge of a campaign.

What troubles you?

Tell me if you have a problem.

I am just upset for the Sultana.

I'm not talking about tonight.

Something is wrong with you for a long time.

It is like your body is here with me...

...but your soul and mind are somewhere else.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

You don't hear, Pargali.

You don't see, you don't talk.

It is like you are lost in that dark forest you mentioned before.

End this fight against yourself and your past.

Get rid of the feeling that's bothering you...

...or it will get rid of you.

You did it, didn't you?

You set this trap.

I won't deny it. Yes, it was me.

You have been defenceless since there's nobody left protecting you.

Congratulations.

You made it this time.

His Majesty dismissed me. He won't let me stay here now.

Mahidevran don't blame me.

I warned you.

I told you to leave with your own will but didn't listen to me.

Anyway,...

...it is never too late to mend.

I hope you will live a happy, peaceful life with your son in Manisa.

What will happen now?

Will you manage the harem?

Do you think Ibrahim Pasha will allow you?

Nobody asks for Ibrahim Pasha's permission.

Besides, he worries about his own life.

-What do you mean? -You'll find out soon.

Pasha.

Apparently, you'll spend the night here.

Did Sultana Hatice kick you out of the palace?

We were right here years ago.

Do you remember that night?

I told you something.

You'll fall so hard,...

...from where you rose, Pasha.

I will make you fall.

You told me not to bite off more than I can chew.

I guess...

...I deserve a gratulation, don't I?

Competence should be met with praise.

But there is something you forget,...

...I'm still standing.

Admit it, Ibrahim.

I won the war.

I'm a soldier beyond everything.

We have a saying among us, soldiers.

"If you are still able to hold a sword,...

...you are not defeated yet."

If I were you,...

...I wouldn't celebrate it too soon.

You are in a swamp now.

The more you try to get out, the deeper you'll sink.

Besides you can't be me.

Because no matter what you do,...

...there is a truth you can't change.

I am a free woman,...

...but you are a slave.

I am Ibrahim.

Ibrahim who always holds both heaven and hell in him,...

...friends with his own demons,...

...allies with the lord of power,...

...but always on guard.

The loyal guard of the supreme gate of the purgatory,...

...Ibrahim the slave.

Ibrahim who's in the privacy and secret of Sultan Suleyman

...but always...

...behind the line.

Ibrahim who watches...

...his own funeral everyday in the deep eyes of his Majesty.

Ibrahim who runs towards death whenever he looks into His Majesty's eyes...

Ibrahim who people perform their missing prayers for his death.

Hatice?

Let's get inside.

You should sleep and rest.

How will I stand this, sister?

I can't live without Ibrahim.

It doesn't have to be that way, Hatice.

You don't have to divorce him.

Apparently, Pasha realized his mistake.

You should give him a time,...

...to make it up to you.

So you, can forgive him.

Hatice...

My sister...

Time heals everything.

Trust me it will be fine.

You'll be happy as you used to be.

Do you think so?

Why not?

Don't hurry to make a decision.

You should think for a while,...

...you should calm down.

Then, you can talk to the Pasha again.

What will happen now, Your Grace?

I can't do anything but to wait.

Everybody knows how Sultana Hatice respects you.

When she calms down, she'll accept and forget it.

But Sultana Hurrem will take this opportunity.

She will tell His Majesty about it.

Once, I gave up on a high positon...

...and a high rank for Sultana Hatice.

Nothing is worthy compared to her.

The only thing I carry about is Hatice,...

...and her broken heart.

Matrakchi, she looked into my eyes in such a way that...

At that moment I wanted to go to earth.

So....

...what will happen to Nigar Hatun?

-Your Grace. -Yes?

Hatice Sultana sent me here.

She would like to see you.

Go, Your Grace. Make it up to her.

Your Highness.

I'm embarrassed towards you.

You are right...

...whatever you do or say.

But believe me,...

...I didn't want it to be like this.

Nigar...

You'll be taken in a while.

Your Highness...

Don't kill me.

I swear I don't beg for myself...

It is for my child...

Show mercy.

Don't be afraid.

The innocent baby you're carrying should be born first.

Then, you will get what you deserve.

I am fine Your Majesty.

Thanks to you I don't have a problem.

Good.

I dismissed Mahidevran.

I'll send her to Manisa as soon as possible.

Oh...

I don't know how we came to this point.

It is not your fault, Gulfem.

Mahidevran is a victim to her own ambition.

As you know, I need to assign someone for the management of harem.

I'd like to hear your opinion.

Your Highness.

The Princes...

I wish you a good day.

I hope it will be.

Yes?

His Majesty summons you.

-What happened? Did he say anything? -I really don't know.

But Gulfem Hatun was with him.

It must be important.

There's nothing wrong, right?

Do you think they realised we did it?

No.

I don't think so.

It is about the management of harem.

You said Gulfem was there, too.

Might he have assigned Gulfem?

Anyway, let's find out.

Your Majesty.

Come closer, Hurrem.

Your Highness.

Ibrahim...

I've though all night.

About...

...us, about our future.

I have made a decision.

Gulfem Hatun was here.

I talked to her about the management of the harem.

I asked about her opinion.

She agrees with me.

Besides, it is what the traditions require.

I'm listening to you, Your Highness.

But ...

Whatever your decision will be,...

...I'd like you to know that I will love you until my last breath.

I wrote you a letter.

We were apart then.

There was no hope for us to come together.

They were going to marry me off to someone else.

"I feel...

...I am out of breathe and my heart is bleeding."

From now on, I will drag my body...

...and my soul...

as a dead man."

That was what you said.

I feel the same things now.

I won't cry out again.

I won't become a sinner.

I will bow my head down to my destiny in faith.

I'm divorcing you, Ibahim.

From now on,...

...you are in charge of the harem.

May it be blessed.

Oh, the cheerful one,...

...my dearest.

Your beauty is a gossip in the world.

What a beauty,...

...what a face, what a smile this is.

I wonder, is your hair became fragnant seeing the perfume?

What a hair, what a curl, what an love lock this is...

My mind is full with your hair's smell.

What a nice smell, what a scent, what a beauty this is.

I've cried my eyes out.

What a sea, what a river, what a lake this is.

Muhibbi fell in love suddenly.

What a trouble,...

...what a love, what attitude this is.

I am Alexandra La Rossa

The Ruthenian slave who was sold to the Ottoman Palace.

The slave who was scattered from Dnieper River to Black Sea.

The slave who lost her mother, father and siblings.

I'm praying to die on these huge waves...

...to meet my family in heaven.

Alexandra who experienced the sorrow and cruelty of the world at the ager of 17,...

...lived a thousand years on a day,...

...regretted to be living , unfortunate,...

orphan Alexandra.

I am Alexandra La Rossa.

I haven't told about my sorrow to anyone, never shared it.

I shouted my giref to the deep wells,...

...threw it into the sea,...

...the waves took it away.

I laughed at everything that hurt me.

I shed my tears only for my family.

I shaped a sultana out of this slave girl and defied my fate!

Now I'm where my life, my destiny has changed,...

...in Sultan Süleyman's palace.

The palace I had wanted to bring crushing around them...

...is my house, my home now.

How could I know that my heart which stopped beating...

for revenge would start to beat again for love.

I am Hurrem,...

...Sultan Süleyman's slave,...

...his concubine, his Sultana,...

...the mother of his five children,...

...his legal wife, Hurrem.

His musk, his scent, his spring,...

...his love, his shining moon, his closest one,...

...his confidant, his most beautiful sultana, Hurrem...

I am Hurrem,...

...the fortunate mother of Mehmet...

...Mihrimah, Selim, Beyazid, and Cihangir.

Sultana Consort Hurrem.

My children,...

...I made a promise to you and myself.

I took an oath.

Everyone whom I bowed down,...

...knelt down and begged for forgiveness...

...would kneel down to me one day.

That day has come.

This is the end of my enemies...

...who thought I deserved to be tormented and made me suffer.

They should fear me now.

Because...

...I will make every breath they take unbearable.

I'll rain fire upon them.

Harem is nothing,...

...I will rule the world!
