In memory of Meral Okay...

Episode 68

How could this be?

What are you doing here?

I brought her here, Your Highness.

She was really in a bad situation.

She sent me a message. So, I felt that I needed to help her.

She's my concubine now.

As you know, we've spent years together.

Who is this woman?

Nigar Hatun.

She was one of the oldest concubines.

She used to be the Head of Treasurers.

This woman will leave right now, Hurrem.

Why would she?

You know why.

Nigar is penalized.

I personally banished her from the palace.

-She got exiled. -Oh, that thing...

She has done her time.

That phase is over.

Sumbul Agha.

Your Highness.

Has Nigar been enrolled in the harem book?

As you have ordered, she has, Your Highness.

You have no right to do that, Your Highness, Nigar made a big mistake!

I'm in charge of management in the harem.

Besides, you shouldn't forget what Fatma Hatun has done.

Everyone knows that she had tried to kill me.

But she's still here.

Your Highness, won't you say anything?

Go out.

Now!

Everybody, get out.

I said, everybody.

When will you stop, Hurrem?

Isn't it enough what you have put me through?

I don't ave any problems with you, Your Highness.

You started this war.

Watch your tongue!

You are talking to a royal. Fighting me...

...means fighting the whole royal dynasty!

I've never had such intention.

I just showed you who your dear husband really is.

However,...

...you took the anger of this betrayal out on me. Because...

...you had an excuse to be able to forgive the Pasha.

My relationship with Ibrahim...

...is none of anyone's business.

Especially yours!

I don't take it as a business anyway.

Is that why you brought Nigar to the Harem?

You demonic viper!

So, you survived again?

Are you that shameless? How could you come back?

Your Highness...

Shut up or I'll take my anger out on you!

Nigar is innocent, Your Highness.

As you know, this is the Pasha's mistake.

Since he hasn't been accused,

neither can Nigar.

-Is that your decision to make? -Who said I have made a decision?

We will wait for His Majesty's return.

He will do what's necessary.

Do you think I'll let Nigar stay here?

You can't even stand looking at her, can you?

That's why you wanted to kill her anyway.

You recall the Pasha's betrayal when you look at her.

You're even afraid...

...that Pasha may go back to her,...

...and find comfort her in her arms.

Nobody, including you!

Nobody can treat me like this.

You do not speak to a concubine...

...or a slave.

Those days are over, long ago.

Please don't forget that.

Your Highness, are you alright?

Will you let Nigar stay here, Your Highness?

Move!

TABRIZ ENCAMPMENT

-What is it? -Ibrahim Pasha summons you.

-What is it about? -I wasn't informed, My Lord.

It is commanded that you have to be there now.

Seraskier Sultan isn't in his tent.

Ibrahim Pasha!

What is going on here?

Why were they executed?

Don't you know what your men did?

No I--

They tried to loot the army's treasury disguised as Persians.

I never see that is possible.

Do not try to defend these traitors!

They were guilty.

He's here.

Ulama Pasha caught them while riding the camels loaded with gold away.

They got what they deserved.

Iskender Chelebi,...

As the representer of Sultan's property,...

...you are responsible for the treasure of the army, aren't you?

Is that how you protect it?

Is this how you protect what His Majesty have trusted you about?

Or...

...are you also a part of this treachery?

Never.

I definitely have nothing to do with this.

How can you think I'd be this dishonorable?

I also don't want to think it's not possible.

Because you wouldn't cut your own throat, would you?

However, it is clear that you have an omission.

You will explain it to His Grace.

There are also things that you must explain to His Grace, Pasha.

Iskender Chelebi, I know what you are trying to do.

You're trying to put me in a bad light for the Sultan, right?

You try in vain.

No one can come in between me and His Majesty, do you understand?

Watch now.

Watch.

Watch, so you can learn a lesson.

Because it seems you're following their path.

I'm sorry for your men.

They were the best.

Are you on his side too, Ulama Pasha?

I'll withdraw, Your Holiness.

The Pasha asked His Grace to come here.

He would be here soon.

I think you should end your hostility.

I didn't ask for your advice!

Just tell me how it happened!

My chamberlain saw them. I stepped in as he informed me.

I couldn't realize they were your men since they were in disguise.

I am sure about that.

It is time to unite, Chelebi,...

...not to think about these.

Tahmasp has got encouraged after his Kizilcadag victory.

He's gathering his army. He will march on us.

I won't even move a finger.

The Sultan Seraskier should think about that.

He's pretty nervous anyway.

He has sent messages to His Majest several times.

He's calling for his death, but he doesn't know that.

Welcome, Hizir Reis.

I grew up listening your stories about your victores...

...in Algeria and the Mediterrean...

...against the Venetians and the Spaniards.

We finally met.

Here's the Lion of the Oceans standing right before me.

I do not deserve such compliments from

the valuable Prince of the Ottoman dynasty.

You enshrine both in the army's and the people's heart.

They talk about you everywhere I go.

They ask about you,...

...they praise and respect you.

Our people is given us by God.

I do my best to be able to deserve their love.

How goes the preparations?

I've heard you've built ninety galleys for the conquest of Tunisia.

Will they be enough?

God willing, they will be enough to kneel down the enemy.

The preparations are almost done.

I hope we'll set sail in a few days.

Good.

As you could guess, Sultana Hatice has forgiven Ibrahim Pasha.

They'll be back to their palace, when the campaign is over.

They'll go on with their lives as if nothing happened.

You see, it is you and your child got hurt.

What do you want from me, Your Highness?

Why did you bring me here?

Because of Sultana Hatice, right?

So that I could be right under her nose.

You're right.

They do everything to uncomfort me.

We must cooperate against them.

Didn't you throw me to Sultana Hatice, Your Highness?

I had to do that, Nigar.

And you know about the issue between me and Ibrahim Pasha.

But you see, I didn't leave you for dead, Nigar.

I wish I could have help you escape, but I couldn't.

Fortunately you're alive. This's what matters.

Everything will be alright, trust me.

Forgive me, Your Highness,...

...but I don't trust people anymore now.

What do you think about the new world that Piri Reis illustrated on his map?

Do you think we should go...

...to the new world crossing the sea?

Of course, Your Highness.

Since the heatens have realized they can't fight with us around here,...

...they've started crossing the great seas and to loot the new world.

So, why do we allow heaten Spaniards to take over thst land?

If we are ruling the whole world, we should be known everywhere that we can see...

...every season and our flag should fly high on every continent.

I agree with you, Your Highness.

I will talk about it with His Majesty when he returns from the Eastern campaign.

However,

Bu some statesmen think...

...that is enough to...

...rule over the Mediterranean and give no quarter only to Venice and Spain.

There will always be people who don't have a broad perspective, Pasha.

If my great grandfather,...

...Sultan Mehmet Khan listened to these people, Istanbul wouldn't be ours.

We are the rulers of horizons.

We must be worthy of our ancestors.

I will present the situation to His Majesty.

I also know that Ibrahim Pasha wants this, too.

Your Highness,...

...if you will excuse me, I should go back to the shipyard for the preparations.

You are excused, Hizir Reis.

We have a full confidence in you and your brave sailors.

I wish you good luck.

Afife Hatun.

I am here to see Sultana Hurrem.

Please wait here. I should inform Her Highness.

Anyone would feel the same.

Just wait for a while.

Your sorrow will surely be eased.

I doubt it, Your Highness.

This is such sorrow that...

Nigar!

You will take your revenge!

Your Highness.

Afife Hatun is here, she also has the aghas with her.

-It's obvious they're here for Nigar. -You get inside.

Let her in.

Your Highness.

If you're here for Nigar, don't try in vain.

It's Sultana Hatice's order. I've been that I have to take Nigar.

Afife Hatun look around. Do you see Nigar here?

Your Highness,...

...you're hindering me from my duties.

Please giive that woman to us.

Otherwise, I will have to use force.

So, it's Nigar Kalfa.

-Mother, why did you hide it from me? -I wanted her to hide it.

I did not want to you to be upset keeping yourself busy

with such matters.

-Where is Nigar Kalfa now? -I've sent Afife Hatun there.

She will do what's necessary.

Your Highness. Sultana Hurrem is here.

Let her in.

Why do you let her in, Mustafa? Send her away.

Mother, calm down. We have to end this peacefully.

Your Highnesses.

You will stay here until things get soften.

You have become the faithful servant of Sultana Hurrem, Sir.

Who should I serve but the mother of four princes?

And dstop talking as if I have a chance to choose.

Dave Hatun isn't here. Gul Agha is gone, and we see your situation.

I have to deal with everything now.

And why are you here?

Since you survived, why didn't you run away?

Isn't it enough that you suffered? I swear I wear myself out as I think.

We live what's in our destiny.

Hey.

If you want to leave I can help you.

I can send you far away. You can go somewhere no one will find you.

You are young and beautful. Of course, someone would like to marry you.

You can get married and have children.

I do not have dreams anymore, Sir.

I don't have a future.

It's impossible for Nigar to stay here, I can't allow this.

I can't stop you from doing, Your Highness. I can give her to you anytime you like.

But I would like to know what Nigar is accused of.

I asked Afife Hatun, but she could not answer me.

We do not have to explain it to you, Hurrem.

Since nobody has the courage to talks about it, I'll say it.

Nigar has fornicated.

It is a heavy crime.

We should let Nigar to be judged.

She should be tried. They will apply

what the law commands.

In this case Ibrahim Pasha should also be judged.

Have you lost your mind?

What trial are you talking about? Have I sued him?

Your Highness,...

Sultana Hatice is right.

Do not interfere with matters you're not involved.

So, this is a political decision.

You ignore the fornication.

Do not interfere in matters...

...that do not concern you.

I'll ask for a fatwa from the Shiek Al Islam, anyways.

His rich experience will englighten us.

You can't do this.

I'll do it so good that...

...everyone will hear about he fornicated with Nigar.

Are you threatening us?

I would prefer to call it an agreement, Your Highness.

After all, it's your decision.

Either the whole lstanbul will hear about this fornication,...

...pr we'll wait until His Majesty returns.

Your Highness.

Watch your steps, Gulshah.

I've heard so much about you.

Have you?

I'm curious, what have I done again?

Do you think I do not kno what you are doing?

I've heard you threaten the concubines and create an order.

Everyone is afraid of you.

Please ignore these rumors.

Behave yourself, woman! Otherwise,...

...I'll make you regret for the day you were born.

Don't tell me what to do. I'm Sultana Hurrem's right hand.

If you touch me, you're dead.

Gulshah!

Your Highness.

Apologize to Afife Hatun now.

Your Highness...

My apologies, Afife Hatun.

If you behave like this again,...

...I will hurt you. Do you understand?

Your Highness, what are you waiting for?

You should ignore that woman. Nigar should be punished!

Didn't you hear what she said? She will expose it.

Are we going to let her threaten us?

Mother, calm down. You shouldn't act by your emotions.

This is the matter of our dynasty's and Sultana Hatice's dignity.

Nobody should hear about Nigar, because...

Because the consequences can be tragic, especially for Ibrahim Pasha.

What will it happen then? What are we going to do?

You know the rules of Afife Hatun.

Nigar is at my service. She can't be sent away without a reason.

If they really wanted, a reason will be found, Your Highness.

Nigar is under my protection.

I can promise you that she will be protected better than Nadia.

Hurrem!

Your Highness.

His majesty will make the decision...

...about what will happen to Nigar.

I'll let her stay here until then.

This is the right decision, Your Highness.

When His Majesty returns,...

...you will leave the palace together with Nigar.

You will see what it means to threaten our dynasty!

-Afife Hatun! -Yes, Your Highness.

I don't want Nigar to get under my feet.

She will be out of my sight!

ITALIAN SHORES

Hizir Reis.

I want information, Salih Reis.

Gulia Gonzaga?

Where is she? Did she get caught?

We determined that she stays at the Fondi castle, Captain.

Our soldiers raided the place.

Unfortunately, she ran away from them at the last moment.

Salih Reis, Ibrahim Pasha ordered us to find this woman.

Send someone immediately, he should go after her in disguise.

He should inform us immediately when he finds her.

I'm sure she will run to Rome.

I do not think so, Hizir Reis. The Pope is evacuating Rome.

They think we are here for them Gonzaga will go to Mantua.

Rome should wait for its turn.

We have Tunisia to conquer first.

Have Gonzaga followed.

Prepare the ships. We sail to Tunisia.

Desire is an armor, Ibrahim.

It is a dress, a clothing.

You should wear it before it wears you.

The place where you are, you're back, you've arrived...

...is the highest peak you can be at.

You can't go any higher.

You can only go down.

That's why, leave it all aside.

Be the master of yourself.

And think about your end very well, which is...

...coming for you, without you realize it.

Tear the curtain, brush the shadows away.

Focus mind and eyes only on the reality that is coming.

Nobody can distract you.

The universe,...

....the earth,...

...the oceans...

Nothing.

Wait here, Firuze.

Your Highness.

-Perchem Agha, what happened? -I apologize to bother you...

...but there's something you need to know.

-Yes? -Rustem Agha has sent a letter.

He says that Ibrahim Pasha has been started to use the title Sultan.

Sultan Ibrahim...

He uses that even in his decree.

He uses the Sultan's Signature instead of the Grand Vizier's Signature.

His highness got really angry.

So, he beheaded the messenger. who brought the message.

Do you know who is the biggest enemy of Ibrahim Pasha?

Himself.

It's a great honor to see you here.

Welcome.

Whose eyes are these?

Whose is this uncertain voice?

Who is struggling in this armor?

Whoever he is tell him that he can not become a Sultan by wearing my armor.

You don't have any problems or needs, do you?

No, Your Highness.

I have everything I need thanks to you.

Good.

I told Sumbul to give you the most beautiful fabrics.

Go to the tailor to have yourself new dresses.

I do not need a tailor, Your Highness. I can do it mysef.

You have very talented hands.

When the time comes, I should marry you off to someone who has a bright future.

I do not want such a beautiful, talented and wise woman like you...

...to be wasted in the harem.

Where are you going?

The weather is so nice. I took a walk with Firuze.

Are you making friends with the concubines now?

I don't understand...

...how you could do this even when I don't show arrogance.

Do you think you're so different because you have a prince?

After all, you're still a slave.

And you make your son a slave to your desires.

This will change, Hurrem.

When my son takes the throne, I will be the Queen Mother.

On that day, neither I'll be a slave nor your family will be here.

They all will be gone.

I heard ou were in the Privy Chamber with Mustafa all day.

Apparently, you are talking about these.

His Majesty will be very upset when he hears about your treacherous plans.

We don't talk about anything.

I'm just letting you what will happen eventually

You know, His Majesty is in campaign.

God forbid that sorrow, but...

...this is war, anything can happen.

Think about it, what if His Majesty never returns?

Your Majesty, we were ambushed at Kizilcadag.

This vicious attack must have encouraged Tahmasp...

...as he tried to march on us with his army

when Muzahher Khan of Girhan supported us with his ten thousadn soldiers,...

Tahmasp drew back to Elmadag.

Tabriz and its surroundings are under our control again at the end.

What would you do if Muzaffer Khan didn't give a hand, Pasha?

How would you explain it to me?

You made a mistake at the beginning, Pasha. You didn't follow the right path.

You were supposed to wait for me in Baghdad as we agreed not in Tabriz.

All preparations were done for Baghdad.

I beg for your forgiveness, Your Majesty.

But once you said that the best way is the one leading to the victory the fastest.

We will be the victorious with God's help.

This is Tahmasp's heart, Your Majesty. We can conquer Baghdad whenever we want.

That's why I forgive you.

You're lucky that you have conquered Tabriz.

Mustafa Pasha!

Where is Tahmasp? What's his situation? Inform me?

This is your mistake. Mirza.

You could have acted faster and stopped Girhan Khan.

It was impossible to stop them, Your Majesty. You also know that.

It'd be enough if you held out just a little longer.

You could have destroyed Ibrahim before Suleiman arrived.

Now is not the time to think about it.

Suleiman must have arrived to Tabriz.

-What will you do? -We will wait.

It was you who said wouldn't be able to stay here. They will leave eventually.

-When they're gone, we'll regain Tabriz. -This is the right decision.

But they may march on us.

We must send them an envoy right away.

We must look for a way to make peace.

As you know, winter is coming, Your Majesty.

We can not stay in Tabriz anymore.

What's your advice?

Let's march on Baghdad at once. The army should spend the winter there.

When it's the spring time we can get ready and go back to Tabriz.

Your Majest, we should spend the winter here.

The terrain on the way to Baghdad is tough.

Soldiers are tired, they're worn out.

Additonally, it's difficult to carry the heavy equipment.

If we march on this season, we will give many casualties.

The army can't stay idle, Your Majesty.

And the loot we will gain from Baghdad will make everyone happy.

Then make your preparations, Iskender Chelebi, we're going to Baghdad.

-Your Majesty-- -I have made my decision!

As soon as we leave here, Tahmasp will retake Tabriz, Your Majesty.

We can not stay here forever, Pasha.

What should we do to prevent this? Establish a new state?

Apparently, you have been informed about my ideas.

Please let me explain it to you.

There is no explanation for this, Pasha.

You can not found a state in a state. Especially in Persia.

Let's say we found a state,...

-...who will rule it, you? -Of course not, my place is by your side.

Even if gave it to my son, the result would be the same.

We will be enemies one day.

The council is over. You may leave.

-Your Majesty -You too, Pasha.

Iskender Chelebi, you stay.

Rustem Agha. Come.

Your Grace.

Why are you here? Where is Ahmet Agha?

He died.

His Majesty appointed me to his position.

-How did he die? -He fell off the horse.

When I got there, he was dead.

He broke his neck.

Is there anyone?

Help!

-Ahmet Agha? -Rustem!

What happened, Agha?

Obviously, someone falsify the saddle.

-Why would they, Agha? -I'll surely find who did it.

Get me up

What are you waiting for?

I'm in pain can't you see? Get me up!

Do not worry Agha. I'll end your pain.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

Rustem Agha, your duty is very important.

I hope you know that.

Don't you worry, Your Grace.

I've prepared myself for this position for years.

I will not let you down.

We wilI see.

We will see.

Your Majesty, the rumors are unfortunately true.

Your Majesty, this is a decree of the Pasha.

It's written Sultan Seraskier Ibrahim.

It isn't a Grand Vizier's Signature, it is like the Royal Signature.

There must have an explanation.

I asked him, Your Majesty.

The soliders are nervous.

They revolted, saying they need a Shah to beat a Shah.

Pasha said that he did it to silence them.

Anything else?

We'd been through many hardships during the campaign, Your Majesty.

Pasha never listened to me. He did not even ask about my opinion.

At last, my best thirty soliders got executed.

I was told they attacked the treasure camels.

But this is not possible.

-Somebody set me a trap. -Do not cross the line, Iskander Chelebi!

The person you complain about is my sole representer!

Additionally,...

...if Ibrahim Pasha is to blame, you're responsible as his Chamberlain.

How could you see yourself apart from this?

-Your Majesty, I.-- -You may take your leave.

My lion...

-Firuze where is Mihrimah? -She's in the garden with Prince Mehmet.

-Would you like me to, find them? -No, I wouldn't.

They can take a walk.

-You should have gone out, too. -I'll go later, Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, it's good news!

His Majesty sent you a letter.

Esma.

Get out everyone. Leave me alone.

Oh, the beatiful huntress,...

...the ache and the wish of my heart.

Oh, my soul...

The crimson day is about to turn into night here.

the sky is waving like the sea.

However, these waters won't bring you to me.

Sumbul...

Sumbul Agha, where are you?

Sumbul Agha!

Yes, Your Highness.

This letter was not sent to me.

What letter, Your Highness?

His Highness sent a letter to Firuze.

-And I sent it to Hurrem. -What?

-Why did you do it? -Because I want her to suffer.

I want it to stick in her heart like a dagger.

She deserved it long ago.

Whenever I close my eyes, I see Nigar's face.

As I thought I forgot about it, she brought her to me again.

She also should get disturbed a little.

She'll understand it's Firuze, how are we going to protect her?

There were some parts her name was written,...

...I erased them.

Have you read it?

They tricked us.

-That woman is still alive. -That can't be.

His Majesty doesn't know about what happened to Nadia.

That's why he must have written it.

The name is erased. Why would they do it if it was Nadia?

[Arabic]

They threw her to us on purpose.

They played a trick on us. Who is this woman?

Her Highness, if it is so...

...why would they send this letter to you?

Why do you think?

Sutana Hatice wants to hurt me

Your Highness! Your Highness, wait! Where are you going?

Your Highness, for G od's sake!

Where is Sultan Hatice?

-Is she in her chamber? -No, Your Highness.

She went to Prince Mehmed's chamber.

Oh, the beautiful huntress,...

...the ache and the desire of my heart.

The other part of my soul, Firuze...

The crimson day is about to turn into night here.

The sky is waving like the sea.

However, these waters don't bring you to me, Firuze.

I am the Sultan of love, and the heart is a notebook and the council for me.

I have written my words of troubles,...

...and this title is enough for me.

I cry like a tanbur,...

...my heart is pierced like a ney.

At the corner of sadness, separation is my place.

If my beloved one give me even half a kiss,...

One life is nothing,...

I would die a thousand lives eagerly.

However, your side glance of you is remorseless, it kills me.

Your lips is like the breath of Jesus, get me back to life.

I would ike to burn in the fire and light of your face.

Muhibbi, because his beloved one...

...told me to burn in her beauty's fire.

Your Highness.

You're finallt here. I was waiting for you.

I did not expect this much.

Have you started writing letters on behalf of His Majesty?

Since you've read it,...

...you must have seen the Sultan's signature.

Accept it or not,...

...stop struggling, Hurrem, because this is the truth.

That love letter...

...is written by His Grace, but not to you.

Apparently, there's someone else is in his heart.

No, this is impossible.

Why not?

You think that you are irreplaceable, but you should look in the mirror.

You are no longer a young and beautful woman who came here years ago.

Do not forget that you are the mother of five children.

I know its hard to accept.

Tine passes very quickly. We're getting older.

Whatever Mahidevran had been through,...

...you will go through the same now.

Do not rely too much on your executioners.

They don't have enough power to kill this love.

Even though you don't spare any beautiful girl in the harem...

...and strangle them all, it will be useless.

This woman wil be the end of you, Hurrem.

What are you saying, Agha? Didn't she die?

Where's your mind? Don't you listen to me?

They played a trick on you. t was not Nadia!

How could it be?

It is not my fault, Agha. You know it, too.

You think that you are irreplaceable, but you should look in the mirror.

You are no longer a young and beautful woman who came here years ago.

Don't forget you're the mother of five children.

Time passes very quickly. We're getting older.

I will see His Majesty. Inform him I'm here.

My apologies, Your Grace, we can't let you in. His Majesty is busy.

-Who is he with? -Rustem Agha.

Your Grace.

The preparations are done for the campaign of Baghdad, Your Grace.

We can set off tomorrow morning.

Your Holiness.

If it was someone else, he would already be beheaded.

What if His Majesty forgives him?

You can't behead people during a campaign.

Especially the Grand Vizier's.

His Majesty will take care of it when we return.

Your Majesty.

What's Suleiman's answer?

He absolutely refused your offer of peace, Your Majesty.

He wants you to fight...

-... or give up. -We swallowed our pride because of you!

And what we have gained? A big nothing!

You're too late to ask for peace, Your Majesty.

If you listened to me, this wouldn't happen.

Your Majesty.

Sultan Suleyman has sent a letter...

-...and a gift for you. -What gift.

I haven't been informed I just have orders to deliver it to you.

Tahmasp Bahadir,...

...when my edict, which must be followed, is delivered to you, you must know that...

...all religions are in the hilt of my sword and...

...in the mercy of my edict.

The rulers, bend the knee before my gates of happiness.

They became slaves of my house, shelter of the world.

Why didn you not pay homage to my house,...

...which is the center of the world and higher than the sky?

...by sending someone to me?

Your foolish pride became a reason for me to march on Persia.

It has been decided that our headquarters will be camped in Tabriz,...

...maybe in other Persian regions,...

...Turan and other Samarkand and Khorasan lands.

If you're not ashamed towards your army,...

...aren't you ashamed even towards your woman?

If you are a brave man, confront me on the battlefield.

God's will should be fulfilled.

Let's settle accounts in desert of Tabriz.

Otherwise, you shouldn't think it's being a man,...

...hunting like a fox when the lion is not around.

If you do not face me on the battlefield,...

...put on this dress I've sent you like women.

And you shouldn't wear that crown of the Sultan,...

and talk about being a man.

The entire universe is in darkness and silence.

They are in the brightness in the dark.

Darkness and silence are not a lack of light and sound,...

...it is a force that contains all the lights and sounds.

Darkness is actually the brightness, Suleyman.

The sound that interrupts the sleep is actually silence.

Your Grace.

His Majesty summons you, Your Grace.

People think everyone is like themselves.

The opposite does not exist, everyone is like them.

Especally if they love, they become one with the other.

His world is round and single.

Inside is a whole, but outside is different.

But as they get hurt,...

...,n every bit of their hearts,...

...who oppose them begin to become the opposite people.

It becomes to get crowded around them...

...as them and the others.

Their and other's worlds...

It is completey different inside and outside now.

Your Majesty.

I've been waiting for many days to talk to you.

Finally, I am granted an audience.

What will you tell me, Ibrahim?

Calling yourself a sultan?

Or your betrayal to my Hatice?

I have warned you many times.

I told youwhat you hide from me won't make you stronger, it'll make you a coward.

You see?

There is the same fear in your eyes again.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

But how could I share a fling with you?

If it was just a fling, I would never know about that, Ibrahim.

But you've been with that woman for years.

You had a house.

She's pregnant with your child.

You've created a completely different world for yourself.

Away from me.

You made a hidden world from me.

Who knows what else you are hiding.

-Your Majesty, I-- -Your lucky that...

...Hatice changed her mind about divorcing you.

She forgave you.

She is loyal to you with a love that she can not stop.

You have children.

What about me, Ibrahim?

How will I forgive you?

I will accept anything comes from you, Your Majesty.

I called you my fellow, my brother.

I just ask loyalty from you, an absolute loyalty.

Apparently, your arrogance defeated you again.

Despite all this, how do you explain that you called yoursef a sultan?

If you think you are the moon light arrogantly,...

...then turn around and see the true source of that light, Ibrahim!

See where it is reflected from.

Shame!

Whenever I turn around, I always find you in the same hole.

Every time, I reached out and pulled you out of that hole.

But this time, I won't reach out to you, Ibrahim.

Either you get out of that hole yourself,...

...or you will die in it.

You may take your leave.

Your Grace!

Your Grace!

I heard you were summoned.

Forgive me because for my curiosity, Your Grace.

Is it bad news?

Sultana Hatice...

-...forgave me. She won't divorce. - Thank God.

So...

...what's wrong? Are you not happy?

I am happy.

But I'm also in sorrow.

Matrakchi, I actually broke His Majesty's heart.

I have had a special room prepared for you in Manisa.

I assure you you will live there more peacefully than here.

My peace is you, my son.

Inshallah, one day,...

...we will live in peace with us under this great dome.

Mustafa.

I want to have grandchildren now.

When your ancestors ascended the throne, they all had princes.

Mother, let's not talk about it please. It will happen when the time comes.

It is already time, my lion. We don't know what we will wake up to tomorrow.

You are the future of this state.

All eyes are on you.

You should also have a son, so...

...everyone should understand who will run the bloodline.

Let them see this noble blood will run through you.

I am worried about the Prince's behaivors.

He's not looking at me in the same way.

He doesn't touch me in the same way.

I shoud give him a child somehow.

This is what Sultana Mahidevran wants, too.

Be quick. If you give birth to a prince,...

...no one can stop you then.

I hope so, it's my only wish.

-Fatma Hatun? -Yes, Kiraz Agha?

The dresses you ordered were delivered. They're in the laundry.

Alright, I'll take them.

Girls stop stalling, get ready!

You are going to the Music School! The tutors don't have to wait for you!

Your Highness.

Haven't you still found out who she is?

Unfortunately, Your Highness.

They're keepin her as if keeping a secret.

I'm thinking that the woman is not in the harem.

What? Where might she be?

Well, that's a mystery.

There are many places.

Old palaces, hunting lodges, mansions...

Who knows where they hid her.

Sumbul.

Look everywhere. Look under every stone.

There must be someone knowing about it.

As you command, Your Highness.

-What are you doing here? -What? You got scared.

Who wouldn't get scared when they see you, you demon?

Do you want to die? I am the Princes favorite!

I will make you such a way, so the Prince will not even look at you.

-What do you want from me? -Who is that woman?

-What woman? Who are you talking about?

The woman who had coitus with His Majest!

I do not know.

Speak or I'll skin you.

-Okay, I will. -Good, good girl.

-Help! -Come here!

Aghas hurry! is there no one?

-Let go! -Behave! You will tell me!

Gulshah! What are the two of you doing?

What did I tell you?

Afife Hatun. I swear I am innocent. She attacked me without a reason.

-Stop lying! -Lie?

She sked about the girl. She was going to skin since I didn't tell her.

Enough!

Fatma, you go.

You are totally out of control.

Aghas!, take her away. Give her a foot whipping.

What are you doing? No!

Sultana Hurrem will make you pay for it. Let me go! Let me go!

-What have you done again? -I threatened Fatma.

I thought he would tell who the woman was.

Who wanted you to do it?

They think I told you to do it.

Did not I tell you that you not to do anything without informing me?

Your Highness...

-I thought-- -Do not think, Gulshah!

Do not think with your little brain.

Look at you.

Your Highness.

Forgive me. It will never happen again.

Get out of my sight.

If I hear one more thing about you,...

...you will get kicked out.

Now, get out of my sight.

Nigar Kalfa.

Yes, Your Highness.

Do you see who you left me with?

You know Gulsah better than I do, Your Highness.

I'm sure you will not let her hurt you anymore.

I like your way of thinking.

As long as you use it for me.

We're in bad shape, Your Grace.

We're losing the heavy equipment, we won't have any cannons soon.

I wish that was the only thing, Your Grace.

Many of our soldiers will perish from disease and exhaustion...

before we get to Baghdad.

I knew this would happen.

Sergeant Mehmet what are those?

Some documents and letters from the capital, Rustem Agha.

Anything for His Majesty?

Yes.

A letter from the Head of Treasury, Afife Hatun.

Fine. I will deliver it. You deliver the rest.

Your Grace.

Soldiers are dying from disease.

We lose the heavy equipment.

But you don't even care, you enjoy yourself here!

Enjoy?

I gave the necessary instructions.

We'll reach Baghdad with minumum casualties.

We'll see if you will see Baghdad.

Come with me!

Your Majesty,...

...with the request of Sultana Hatice,

...I would like to tell the news from the harem.

Your concubine Nadia Hatun commited suicide by hanging herself.

But apparently it was a murder. We couldn't find out who did it.

Sultana Hatice thinks that...

...Sultana Hurrem is the reason of this incident.

Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you but it's important.

Speak.

It's about Iskender Chelebi, Your Majesty.

He did not take any precautions to transport the army to Baghdad.

That's why we have lost a great amount of heavy equipment.

In addition,...

...the soliders are in bad shape. Disease runs rampant. They can't hold on anymore.

Under these circumstances,...

...if you deem it appropriate,...

....I will dismiss Iskender Chelebi of his duties

Get Iskender Chelebi here!

-Your Majesty. -Iskender Celebi...

Ibrahim Pasha holds you responsible for the situation of the army.

Explain it to me!

I don't accept it, Your Majesty.

I have done my best.

However, His Grave is the real responsible for this situation.

Because dragged us to Tabriz from the very beginning.

Your Majesty, when we left your presency,...

...you appointed Iskender Chelebi because he was experienced.

We followed his instructions.

And this is what happened. We have a big loss are huge, it'll be even bigger.

It's not just that.

Iskender Chelebi's soliders tried to steal Ottoman Empire's treasure.

It is unknown, Your Grace. Someone set a trap for me.

Iskender Chelebi.

This is a serious accusation. Which can plunge you all the time.

You will be tried right away by the martial court, so...

...you can not be accused again.

Firuze Hatun.

Your Highness.

I heard that Hurrem likes you very much.

I'm taking care of our Prince. That's must be the reason.

Be careful.

She knows you are alive. She's looking for you everywhere.

I know, Your Highness.

You gave me my letter to Sultana Hurrem.

I found it appropriate.

I would like you to read it.

-Because it was a nice love letter. -I've read it, Your Highness.

Gulshah Hatun.

Prince Cihangir is very restless.

Her Highness wants you to find Firuze Hatun.

Where is she?

-She went to the garden. -Okay, I'll get her.

Your Highness.

Please let me stay a little longer.

Where is that woman?

Your Highness,...

I don't want another innocent person to get hurt because of me.

I would likle the truth to be exposed.

Not yet; Firuze.

You must be patient until His Majesty comes back.

But if you want I can help you to send a letter to His Majesty.

I would love that.

Then, write it and give it to me.

Be careful, no one should see you.

You don't need to worry.

Who's there?

It's Gulshah!

Get her! Now!

Where is Firuze?

Your Highness...

Your Highness.

Gulshah is thrown into the dungeon.

That bloody woman! What did she do again?

I don't know. I asked, but...

-...no one knows anything. -This isn't good sign.

-We should find out. -I just saw Nigar.

She left saying she'd find out.

Nigar shouldn't be seen around! Sultana Hatice is already looking for a reson!

I don't know how long I can protect her.

-Your Highness. -Afife Hatun, what happened?

-Did you catch Gulshah? -We did.

I wanted her to be locked up in the dungeon.

You did not tell anyone, did you? Does anyone know?

No, no one.

What will happen now, Your Highness? What will Gulshah be accused with?

Sultana Hurrem would like to know.

Gulshah has done many things.

The list of offenses by Gulsah is long. Threatenin, robbery, disobedience....

Choose one.

Firuze.

Get back to the chamber. Hurrem should not be suspicous.

As you wish, Your Highness.

Afife Hatun, be careful in this issue.

We should prevent Gulshah from sending message to Hurrem.

Your Highness.

Open the door! Aghas!

Is there anyone? Open it!

Nigar Hatun?

Behave.

Why are you screaming? The whole harem hears you.

Don't you see me? Get me out of here.

First, tell me what you've done.

I swear I'm innocent.

I went to find Firuze Hatun.

And I saw that she was with Sultana Hatice. I overheard the conversation.

It turns the woman we were looking for was right udner our nose!

What are you talking about?

Is it Firuze?

She herself.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

Otherwise, why would I be locked up here?

They did it, so I wouldn't tell anyone.

Talk to Her Highness. Tell her to get me out of here.

Okay but be quiet.

Do not tell anyone that you've talked to me.

I will inform Her Highness.

Nigar Hatun.

Yu have to leave.

If somebody sees you here, I'll be dead.

Don't worry.

I will come again.

Take care of that woman until that day. If something happens, call me.

-Your Highness. -Firuze, where were you?

-I was in the garden, Your Highness. -I sent Gulshah, wasn't she with you?

No, did something happen?

Anyway.

I sent Cihangir to Mihrimah since he was restless.

Go there.

Come, Nigar.

Your Highness.

I was with Gulshah.

I've heard that. What did she do again?

Same old Gulshah...

She is the best at getting in trouble.

She came across with Sultana Hatice in the garden.

Her Highness got angry since she passed by her without bowing.

Also, she spoke disrespectfully.

-She will never get any wiser.

If so, she should be useful on her way out.

What do you think of Your Highness?

We must get rid of Sultana Hatice.

BAGHDAD

Your Majesty,...

His Grace Ibrahim Pasha has given this helpless servant of yours the honor of...

...presenting you the key of city of Baghdad.

Good.

Ayas Pasha, it is my will,...

...I appoint Sergeant Alemda as the Lord of Bosnia.

Additionally, he should be given the robe and awarded with 50.000 golden coins.

As you command, Your Majesty.

You've made your subject Alemdar happy, Your Majesty.

May God give you a long life...

...and grant you many victories.

Amin.

We must return to the capital as soon as possible.

-Hizir Reis is waiting for us in Tunisia. -He conquered Tunisia...

but he can not keep it for long without suport in land.

Fine.

Charles V. won't miss this opportunity.

It is difficult to get there on time, Your Grace.

Tahmasp obtained Tabriz again.

He is marching to Van.

We have to go back.

See...

That is the price of fighting with a child, Taslicali.

Your Grace, I was informed you summoned me.

Ulama Pasha, come.

Iskender Chelebi will be tried tomorrow.

I want you to be there, too.

What does this have to do with me, Your Grace?

-How could I be there? -Well,...

I know youcooparate with him against me.

If you do not want to be tried along with him,...

...you will be there...

...and testify against him.

Understand?

Your Holiness.

I've brought these for you.

Rustem Agha.

Do you see what Ibrahim Pasha has done?

You will be tried tomorrow. You must be strong.

I am sure you will be acquitted and regain your dignity.

I do not think so.

Ibrahim who has locked me up here,...

...will do anything for me to be beheaded.

His Majesty will not allow it.

Rustem Agha.

If something happens to me,...

...you will take over the mission.

This duty is yours.

You will save this great empire from that evil Ibrahim.

-Do not think about these things. -Promise me.

I promise, Your Holiness.

If they shed your blood,...

...that blood...

...will be revenged.

Gulshah?

Where were you? When will you get me out of here?

Hush, be quiet.

You will get me caught.

We tried everything...

...but Sultans Hatice prevented it.

God, I'll go insane here.

What about Firuze? Did you tell her?

Sur, I did.

We'll take care of her.

But first, we have to save you.

-Soon you will be taken out. -By whom?

-The executioners. -What are you talking about?

Sultana Hatice ordered for your execution.

Calm down. Listen to me.

There is one way out that will save you.

What? Tell me now.

Before Sultana Hatice, gets rid of you,...

...you have to get rid of her.

Your, Highness, we've searched all palaces and hunting lodges...

...but we could not find her.

She's like a ghost...

It's not like the ground has swallowed her up, right?

She must be hidden somewhere.

Perhaps, she did not leave the harem.

-She is here somewhere. -Your Highness.

We're following closely, you don't need to worry. She'll be found eventually.

But there is another issue.

You gave a duty to Nigar Hatun. H

How can you rely on her after what happened, Your Highness?

What makes you think I trust her?

I need her and she needs me.

Didn't you see her eyes? They burn with the desire of revenge.

What if she wants to take revenge on you, too?

Then, we'll finish what Sultana Hatice has not finished.

Have you lost your senses?

-How will I do this? -You did it before.

She is Hatice Sultan, not anyone else.

Even if | touched her, they'll tear me into my pieces.

What? Are you scared?

Why don't you do it?

Her Highness ordered you to do it.

No one will suspect a person who is in the dungeons.

And you have no other choice.

You either kill...

...or die.

But...

...how do I get out of here?

You'll find the door open tonight.

There's a dagger on the stairway to the favorites' ward.

A dagger?

You just...

...said everyone would think she committed a suicide.

First, you will suffocate her.

Then, you'll cut her wrists.

She will be found dead in her bed in the morning.

You know.

She tried to commit suicide before. Everyone will believe it.

Okay?

You'll do it, right?

BAGHDAD

Iskender Chelebi,...

The Judge of the Army, Muhittin Effendi...

...told each of the crimes you've been accused of.

By abusing His Majesty's trust,...

you caused our army got stuck in enemy's lands in the middle of winter.

...and endangered the army of Islam.

In addition,...

...you abused your positon.

Instead of increasing the wealth of the empire, you have enriched yourself.

Yes.

Let's see how you defend yourself.

Your Grace.

As you know very well,...

...I have done everything for the benefits of the Ottoman Empire...

and for our powerful Majesty to always be victorious.

I don't have any mistakes during the decisions I made during the campaign.

Especially, my name can not be associated with bribery.

All the things that I'm accused are just slanders.

Your slanders.

This is the truth.

Is that so?

Summon Ulama Pasha and Beylerbey Secretarty of Sham, Ali Effendi.

We should listen to them, too.

Let's see if you are talking the truth or I am.

Ulama Pasha and Beylerbey Secretary of Sham, Ali Effendi.

Ulama Pasha.

Ulama Pasa, you know what Iskender Chelebi is accused of.

Tell us what you know for the justice to be served.

Iskender Chelebi is one of the most important statesmen of this Empire.

He deserves praise for his merits.

And he has a great respect of mine.

HOwever,...

...some incidents I have witnessed on this campaign...

...dissapointed me.

The most important of them is the failure of Kızılcadag.

-Tell us what happened in Kizilcadag. -As you know, we gave many casualties.

Our army was defeated.

The reason why is Iskender Chelebi who changed our route.

Because he...

...he sent a fake letter that was written on behalf of Ibrahim Pasha.

This is clearly a slander!

I did not write any letter on behalf of anyone!

We have that letter.

It has been compared with Ibrahim Pasha's signature and determined it's fake.

How do you know I wrote it? You do not have any evidence!

And you do not need any.

The result of this trial is obvious.

You have aready made your decision.

Watch your words, Iskender Chelebi!

Even this disrespectful behaivour is enough for you to get convicted.

These accusations paint a picture of you,...

but will be ignored since there's no evidence.

Our Precious Military Judges, Muhittin Chelebi and Kadir Chelebi.

I think...

-...you have made a decision. -Of course, Your Grace.

Your Majesty, Iskender Chelebi's trial has ended.

The Military, Hudge Muhittin Effendi.

What is your opinion on this matter? Explain.

Your Majesty,...

through the testimony of the Secretary of the Sham,...

...Ali Effendi, it is determined that...

...Iskender Chelebi was guilty...

...of heavy army losses and increased his wealth via bribing.

Hereby, resulting from the accusations, Head of Treasurers Iskander Chelebi...

...it has been decided he will be executed by hanging, and all his properties...

...will be transfered his property to the treasury of Ottoman Empire.

However, the last decision belongs to the blissful His Majesty.

What a pity...

What a pity.

Who would think percious statesman like you, would be this miserable?

You did everything to get rid of me.

But the result is nothing.

What did you gain?

Nothing.

His Majesty approved the decision.

You...

...will be executed for treason.

But I will continue to rule this magnificent Empire.

If not in this world then in the other one, Pasha.

I'll get you there.

You will join me soon anyway.

We will all die one day anywa.

But I will die as an honorary soldier on the battlefield.

Do not be so sure about that, Pasha.

Even Sultan Suleyman does not know how he will die.

During the trial of Treasurer Iskander Celebi, he was found....

...guilty of heavy losses going to Baghdad. It was decided that...

...that he would be executed...

...by hanging as a warning to others!

Your Majesty,...

...please forgive your helpless servant.

Yes, Rustem?

A subject of yours...

...like Iskender Celebi, whose services are countless,....

-...who is capable and talented-- -What does it mean, Rustem?

-Are you saying it was unfair? -How can I dare?

Our laws are clear.

However, I liked him as a person.

He was an important person...

...who touched the lives of many statesmen and artists.

He also helped me greatly.

The Empire has seen many Iskenders, Rustem.

But only the Sublime Ottoman state will remain.

-Your Grace. -Rustem Agha...

I see that you are pretty upset because of the death of Iskender Chelebi.

How did someone who was so loyal became a traitor?

This is what makes me sad and surprised.

This is what happens if someone tries to come between me and His Majesty.

This is a warning to everyone.

Your Majesty,...

Your grace, I am innocent.

Why didn't you prevent it?

I got killed in vain.

The responsibility for this sin...

...is yours.

-Your Majesty? -Get me water!

Ibrahim!

Ibrahim of Parga...

I killed an innocent man because of you!

I hope the same fate will find you as soon as possible!

You were caught sleeping in front of the door.

If I see you do that again...
