Original subtitles

Someone, pretending to be me...

...took the chest meant for Prince Mustafa.

Who knows what they did to it...

...before handing it to the messenger.

They must be scheming something.

They want to harm Prince Mustafa.

Hit the road immediately, Atmaca.

You must warn my brother.

Elkas Mirza, brother of the...

...Persian Shah set off, Your Grace.

As you commanded, he goes to the Edirne Palace.

No one except his entourage will be with him, right?

Especially his soldiers.

Your orders will be carried out unconditionally. Do not worry.

Very good.

Find out exactly when he will arrive.

I will welcome him personally.

In addition - our soldiers on his path should...

...be armed to the teeth and in perfect condition.

Elkas should know that the Ottomans are...

...always ready for war.

And he should be intimidated...

...by the power of our state.

Your Grace, Navy Commander Mehmet Pasha is here.

Let him come in.

I hope you bring good news.

If only they were good. If only...

Come in.

Your Majesty.

Grand Vizier Rustem Pasha is waiting for an audience.

Let him in.

Please, Your Grace.

Your Majesty.

I just received a message.

I'm trying to found out if it's true or not but--

Speak!

They say that Prince Mustafa is heading...

...towards the capital with thousands of soldiers.

What are you saying, Pasha? What's that supposed to mean?

I afraid to say this, but there is only one explanation.

Rebellion!

I don't think the prince would do something like this.

But it is necessary to anticipate each...

...situation and take appropriate measures.

Call Ferhad Agha for me immediately!

Immediately!

As you command, Your Majesty.

Has Mustafa gone mad?!

What is he doing, marching on the capital?

Apparently, Atmaca could not stop him.

What kind of a trap are they setting?

Either they put something in the chest...

...or they changed His Majesty's letter.

Nothing else comes to my mind.

Stop Prince Mustafa before he enters Istanbul!

He will not come to the capital!

He'll return to his province and wait for the verdict I will give for him.

If he doesn't obey and insist on coming...

...then you'll do everything to stop him!

No matter what it takes!

Your wish is my command.

You can leave!

Rustem, inform Navy Commander Mehmet Pasha.

He should control the shores and the navy troops.

Mehmet Pasha brought this news to me, Your Majesty.

I gave him the necessary instructions.

Good!

But I do not know if he can control the navy.

Additionally, late Hizir Pasha's captains do not like him.

It's me who give the order, Rustem!

If even one of those galleys set sail...

...everyone will lose their heads!

Everyone!

You will immediately bring me any news...

...about Prince Mustafa, you may leave!

As you command, Your Majesty.

Oh God, save me Almighty!

Save me from fighting my son!

Keep him away from the wrath of my sword.

If you test me with the betrayal of my son...

...do not deprive me of mercy.

His Majesty has sent Ferhat Agha.

Five thousand Janissaries are...

...arming themselves to stop the Prince.

Where is Atmaca?

Still no news of him?

Nobody knows where he is.

What are your orders?

I do not know what our prince's purpose is.

But if this is a rebellion, we must stand by his side.

For he is our only hope.

Who are you?

Who did you get the order from?

Atmaca.

We finally meet again.

I need to go, Mihrimah.

Rustem!

What did His Majesty write in his letter to Prince Mustafa?

What made him so angry?

I didn't see the letter, Mihrimah.

But isn't it obvious?

He probably warned him for people...

...calling him the future sultan.

The prince used this as an opportunity.

He was preparing for a rebellion for a long time.

You are hiding something from me

Mihrimah, I told you everything I know.

Now with your permission.

I have a rebellion to crush.

Shh, calm woman. I will not hurt you.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

I am Prince Selim.

We were returning from hunting, our path brought us here.

My Prince.

Forgive me, my Prince!

This is a remote place, not many travelers.

Especially a prince.

But you are here?!

Yes, my farm is on the other side of the hill.

You should have seen it, passing by.

When I have some free time, I go to..

...the forest and collect medicinal herbs.

Do you live alone?

Yes, I'm alone.

Although I got people running my ranch.

I would like to welcome you in my humble home.

It will be a great honor for me!

Take some rest before continuing.

What do you say, Prince?

What is with this child? Why won't he relax?

Tell the physicians to check him out.

May God protect him. Our prince is healthy.

Your anxiety and restlessness rubs off on him.

I can't sleep for days, Canfeda.

As soon as I close my eyes, I see Valeria.

Her dead body on the ground.

I feel terrible.

Then I look in the mirror, and ask myself ''Is this me?''

Am I the killer?

I did not think it would be so hard.

It was Sultana Hurrem's orders.

Don't blame yourself anymore.

If you are aiming at the top, there will be a price.

I will never do something like this again!

Never.

Your Highness, we have a saying here.

''Eat big but never talk big''

Who knows what will tomorrow bring.

Where is our prince?

This hunt took forever!

When will he be back?

It's better that he's busy.

After repenting, he just couldn't stay at the palace.

He promised me and His Majesty.

I hope he doesn't break his oath and keep this up.

Amin.

Sultana Nurbanu.

Prince Selim returned to the palace.

Come in!

Selim!

Nurbanu.

My sunlight.

I missed you and my son.

How are you? Are you okay?

Thank God you came back.

Me and our little prince are okay now.

How was the hunt?

Very good.

After those bad days, it was good on me.

But horse riding in the mountains and...

...sleeping in the open air is tiresome.

I ordered the bathhouse to be ready.

Let yourself go.

I know how to cure you of this fatigue.

No one in the palace knows about us.

How long will this go on?

First, we will get married.

And then we will announce it all...

...over the realm, firstly His Majesty.

All shall hear about us.

I wish this wasn't a secret

I wanted to you to see me in a bridal.

We would organize such a beautiful wedding, like my late parents had.

We would celebrate 40 days and 40 nights.

There would be festivities at every corner of the capital.

Delicious dishes would be cooked and gold would be handed out.

And we would go to our palace with the prayers of our subjects.

Huricihan.

This is just a dream.

That I have in my mind since I saw you.

The most important thing is the truth, and you are my truth.

As long as you are with me, I...

...don't care about anything else.

Come in!

Prince. Your Highness.

Huricihan. Go back to your room.

Suleyman!

Your Highness, are you okay?

I do not know how I will survive this exile.

Even now, I'm damned to be away from him.

You have to be patient, Your Highness.

In addition, this is not exile.

Imagine that we are going to visit Prince...

...Bayezid and your grandchildren.

What is the purpose of this visit?

Did you send word to my mother...

...and now she's coming to see me?

Believe me, I do not know what the...

...purpose of Sultana Hurrem's visit is.

We will find out when she will arrive but...

...there's a matter we have to take care of first.

Sultana Huricihan.

There is no other way but to get...

...married and impose it upon mother.

Prince, under no circumstances, it is not allowed!

If your mother sees Huricihan here...

...a terrible storm will unleash.

We can not even predict what she might do.

What is your advice?

Cihangir, I'm scared. Mother's not here too.

What will be the end of this?

Did Rustem Pasha tell you anything?

What was inside the chest?

Nothing but the caftan and His Majesty's letter.

In addition, what else could be there?

How would Rustem know something about it?

It's a matter between His Majesty and brother Mustafa.

Do you really believe what you say?

The Janissaries were sent to stop our brother, Mihrimah.

We might find ourselves in the...

...middle of a bloody war without a warning!

Mustafa will give up when he sees the Jannissaries.

He will never defy His Majesty's orders!

Mustafa defied all rules and traditions...

...by leaving his province!

We must stop His Majesty.

We must do this for the future of our dynasty.

Prince.

Unfortunately, His Majesty does not want to see anyone now.

Did you say I am here?

Prince, we have guests.

Yavuz.

Go see who it is!

Wait!

Janissaries!

Your Grace.

Did he talk?

As I predicted - he is resisting.

But he has no other choice, he will speak eventually.

Maybe it will not be necessary, as whomever...

...he serves, they're about to be destroyed.

Prince Mustafa began the uprising...

...just as we wanted.

Ferhat Agha will intercept him.

Can we trust him?

Ferhat is one of those that Sokollu recommended.

I do not doubt his devotion to His Majesty.

Prince.

Let me talk to them, you stay back.

I accept my fate.

Prince Mustafa.

Ferhat Agha.

Did His Majesty send you?

His Majesty does not let you enter Istanbul, prince.

He ordered you to return to your province...

...and wait there for his decision about you.

And if I refuse?

If you even take one step forward...

..it will be seen as rebellion.

And according to His Majesty's orders...

...you will be executed.

No one can turn me back, Ferhat Agha!

Do you want a fight?

Good!

Me and my soldiers are ready!

Grand Prince Mustafa.

There is not even one janissary in all the...

...Ottoman realm who would dare raise a sword to you.

Our lives are dedicated to your path.

Long live Prince Mustafa!

Turgut Reis according to your order...

...sailed to Mediterranean Sea.

And Salih Reis is in Algeria.

Immediately send one ship, it will patrol nearby waters.

How can we be sure that they did not return?

Who would dare, Your Majesty?

When even my son is marching on...

...the capital, why would they wait pasha?

Mustafa must has something that he relies on.

Your Grace, I'll inform His Majesty--

Lokman, step aside!

Your Grace! Your Grace!

What are you doing Rustem?

Forgive me, Your Majesty, but things got out of hand.

Prince Mustafa is approaching the capital.

How can he approach?

Ferhat Agha.

He stands with Prince Mustafa.

The prince, together with the army, is heading towards the palace.

Huricihan will reside in the...

...specially prepared villa for her.

As long as Sultana Hurrem is here, she will live there.

Very good.

Mother can not find out about it in any way.

Rana, you should hold your tongue.

As you command, Prince.

Make way! Haseki Sultana Hurrem!

Mother!

Bayezid, my lion!

I missed you much!

Me too. Welcome.

Orhan!

God protect you!

You grew so much!

How are you, Rana?

I pray for your health, Your Highness.

May God give you a long life!

Amin.

Mentor Mustafa.

Your Highness.

Your presence here - to guide my son on the right path - calms me.

Your praise is more precious...

...to me than anything, Your Highness.

Is the sultana's room ready?

Ready, Mentor.

There shouldn't be anything missing.

We will host the sultana the best way.

To be honest, I'm very curious, mother.

What is the reason for your sudden visit?

What's happening?

Are you not happy that I'm here?

Of course I am, mother.

You are my crown jewel.

I'm just curious, I hope nothing bad happened.

Nothing.

And what could happen?

I just wanted to see you.

As you know after recent events...

...we've been estranged for no reason.

I was highly disturbed by that.

I want to stay here with you for a time.

But I don't want to bother you.

How can you bother me, mother?

It my father is a sultan of the world.

You are the sultan of two worlds.

It's an honor for me to host you in my palace.

My lion, my brave prince.

Cihangir.

What's the situation?

Has Mustafa arrived?

The guards formed a shield wall around the palace.

As if our walls were not enough.

If only my mother was here...

We have to do something!

We can't just sit by idly!

The die is cast, Mihrimah!

Have you forgotten?

You and I are not part of this war.

You said that to me once.

He arrived.

Grand prince!

Through this act you can be killed.

You are aware of this, right?

If you have the strength to kill me, do not wait.

Order them to cut off my head!

Firstly the Prince...

...everyone here...

...took an oath of loyalty for His Majesty!

I see that you forgot about it...

...and fell into the pit of betrayal and foolishness!

Have no doubt!

Our ruler Sultan Suleyman Khan!

He won't forgive this!

Either you put down your weapons right now...

...and surrender to His Majesty..

Or all of you...

...will feel the damning wrath of His Majesty!

The decision is yours!

The decision is yours!

Inform His Majesty...

...that I want to see him!

If Ferhat Agha returns his soldiers to...

...the camp, your wish will be fulfilled.

This is an order, Rustem!

Tell His Majesty that I want to see him!

Your Majesty.

The prince wants to talk to you, Your Majesty.

He wants to talk, is that it?

Jannissaries won't return to their barracks, your majesty.

I'm thinking, the prince...

...will want to make a deal to take the throne peacefully.

Where is the cavalry?

Part of them are in Asithane.

Part of them are at the Horse Square, waiting...

...for your commands, armed to the teeth.

On top of it, additional troops are on...

...their way from Edirne and nearby regions.

Your Majesty...

If you want my advice, it's best to...

...have an audience with the Prince.

But if you give the order, we are strong...

...enough to defeat the prince and his army.

What's happening?

I would never have thought of this!

Mustafa is at the gate with thousands of troops!

God save us!

These are such dark days.

How could the prince rebel?

This is not rebellion.

What do you mean?

Don't you see?

God knows that Prince Mustafa...

...is my favorite, like everyone's.

But this is unacceptable.

Gulfem hatun is right.

No matter what, what Mustafa did is a big...

...mistake! He will pay a heavy price for it!

Cihangir.

What did you mean?

If he's giving up his weapons...

...when he has an advantage.

His aim cannot be war.

Your Majesty.

How dare you ignore my orders...

...and come here with your soldiers?

Who do you think you are! How dare you!

Forgive me.

I did not want to come here in such circumstances.

But I was forced to.

I could not stay in my province and pretend nothing had happened.

You and The Almighty God...

...know my loyalty to you.

If you wanted to kill me...

...here I am.

Do it while looking me in the eye.

Do you hear what you say?

You rebel against me and talk about loyalty?!

You are the one who wants to kill me.

Isn't it true that you tried to kill me...

...because of those letters about me?

On one hand, you cater to my soul with your pretty words...

...and on the other hand...

...you sent me a poisoned caftan to kill me!

Poisoned?

God what a dark day.

If some people would stay out of this, then...

...this terrible consequence wouldn't happen.

Who are those people?

I'm talking about your great husband, Rustem Pasha.

Nobody is better than him in adding oil to the fire.

He set my brother up.

Maybe you knew all about it.

Cihangir, watch your words!

How dare you talk to me like that?

I will speak as I will, Mihrimah!

Cihangir!

Your Highness, don't.

We must all calm down.

As you know...

We are all nervous now.

God save us.

How could they drive a wedge between a son and his father?

I made the messenger wear this...

...magnificent caftan that you sent me.

He died before my eyes after a while.

If my mother did not arrive at the last moment...

...I would be in his place.

Get out.

You too.

After this tragic incident, my mother told me a story.

Many years ago you got such a caftan.

My late grandfather Sultan Yavuz Selim Khan...

And you believed it, right?

Did you believe I could kill my son?

And this way?

The caftan was with the your letter, Your Majesty.

What could I think?

How could you think of that, Mustafa?!

I would never give permission for such...

...a lowly, treacherous execution.

You told me, a prince should think of every possibility.

This is what's been eating inside me...

...and brought me here, your majesty.

Moreover.

I didn't come here to take a life...

...I came to give my life.

Then why did you come here with your sword?

Why didn't you come unarmed?

This is what befits the son of a world sultan.

I wanted to die as a warrior.

Is Mustafa inside?

We're waiting, Prince.

Forgive me...

...but I can not let you in.

If any harm comes to my brother...

...many people will lose their heads.

Especially the ones who set him up.

Return to your room, prince.

No one can tell me what to do, Rustem Pasha.

Brother.

Do not worry, Cihangir, I'm fine.

Your Majesty wants to see you.

Your Majesty.

Command the cavalry to return to their barracks.

As you command your majesty,

But I want to remind you that the...

...Jannissaries are still in front of the palace.

Do as I say, Rustem.

You may leave.

Guards!

Summon Ferhat Agha.

Who is this important man who supports Prince Mustafa?

Speak!

Do not torment yourself and us!

Our devotion is more important than life.

What a pity.

If you speak, you'll be free of this pain and suffering.

I will kill you, Atmaca!

Do you know what I will do with this?

I'll pull out your fingernails.

It will hurt a lot.

So much so that you lose consciousness with pain.

Then I will stop...

...and wait until you regain consciousness.

One day I will kill you!

So be it.

I told you to stop the prince.

But you did not listen to me and...

...you came with him here, did you?

I wouldn't dare, your majesty. Let me explain.

Speak!

I intercepted the prince...

...and I delivered your orders to him.

He said he just wanted to talk to you...

...alone and unarmed.

Besides, the army that accompanied him...

...was to wait at Uskudar.

Under these circumstances, I understood...

...that the prince doesn't want to rebel.

So naturally...

I chose to bring you and the prince together.

What if His Majesty didn't let him in the palace?

What would happen then?

I would do everything necessary for the...

...prince to return to his province, Your Grace.

This is the situation, your majesty.

I accept whatever verdict you give for me.

I've been informed about the matter, Ferhat Agha.

You can leave.

Your majesty.

Regardless of everything, the act of Ferhat Agha is unacceptable.

I saw him, him and the Janissaries.

There was anger in their eyes and a sword in their hands.

Who, Rustem pasha?

Who poisoned the caftan I sent to my son?

Who wants to set Mustafa against me?

Answer this question!

It could be anyone, benefiting from the prince's rebellion.

Who is it?

My viziers?

My pashas? My lords?

Or someone even closer to me?

Sultanas, princes?

Maybe someone who is far away, Your Majesty.

This may be the work of infidels who could not...

...defeat the Ottoman State on the battlefield.

Whoever it is, bring them to me Rustem!

This is your duty!

Do you know what's my only consolation?

Despite this dirty plot, my prince didn't...

...rebel and surrendered his life to me.

We were not prepared for such a rebellion...

...so it's good that peace is restored.

Rustem fell on his own sword.

It's true there's a sword.

But it is not yet known who will fall on it.

We're only at the beginning.

We must draw conclusions from this situation.

Captain, where is Atmaca?

There is no trace of him?

No, we're looking for him everywhere.

It's like the ground has swallowed him whole.

Probably they killed him and disposed of him.

No!

This is not possible!

Rustem sent someone following him.

Especially that agha called Zal Mahmut.

He is also missing for some time.

As soon as he pops his head out...

...we'll find out what he's been up to.

We were on the brink of disaster, brother.

They wanted to set you against His Majesty.

They wanted you to rebel.

You sound like you know something.

Tell me everything you know.

I went to the tailor to see the caftan.

I learned that someone took the caftan, using my name.

I have no proof but it is obvious that the...

...caftan was poisoned in the palace.

This is obvious.

I tried to contact you...

...and I sent you a message with Atmaca.

But I think he couldn't make it.

They definitely stopped him.

I have not heard from him for a long time.

Rustem is looking for opportunities to end this matter.

I'm sure he's involved, Cihangir.

If we can convince His Majesty, this matter won't be over.

And Rustem will get his due punishment.

If so...

First of all we must make His Majesty believe...

...everything was plotted in this palace.

That is why your words will...

...be very important, brother.

Could you tell His Majesty what you said to me?

If you want it so, of course I can!

So you are here?

I wanted to say "welcome”, but circumstances are not favorable.

Do not worry, you see everything is fine.

You ordered Tahmasb's brother, Elkas Mirza...

...to the capital, Your Majesty.

I think he will reach Edirne within ten days.

Edirne?

Rustem Pasha wanted it so.

If you think differently...

It is appropriate.

But we must welcome the prince with a ceremony.

The main guard of the gate, Ahmet Agha will...

...personally take care of everything, Your Majesty.

Additionally Rustem Pasha...

...will personally greet the prince.

Sokollu.

Approach.

I want you to investigate the caftan matter.

Find out who poisoned him.

But keep the investigation secret.

Nobody will know, including Rustem.

Your wish is my command.

You can leave.

They say Bayezid went to the judge.

What happened?

I would inform you if that was the case, Your Highness.

Our prince went to see if there were any...

...complaints and requests from the people.

He often talks to the judge about this.

You do not write to me the way you used to.

I did not to waste your precious time on small matters, Your Highness.

Bayezid occupies a special place among my sons.

Even if I'm forced to say otherwise...

...he's the one who should take the throne after His Majesty.

I am happy that you think so.

Do not doubt that I am doing everything...

...to prepare the prince for the throne.

It's not enough.

You must always watch to what he is doing...

...and prevent him from making any mistakes.

I understand your words very well, Your Highness.

Very good.

Now tell me.

Bayezid has nothing to do...

...with Huricihan anymore, right?

That they do not write to each other.

I hope so.

Your Highness.

This is a matter of the past now.

How much longer will I hide, Bayezid?

Let me guess. Until Sultana Hurrem leaves.

I'm not happy about it, Huricihan.

But this is what's best.

You planned to tell her everything, you said so!

Not now. We must wait for a good moment.

Also do not forget Brother Mustafa's situation.

We must hide, just like them.

Who are you comparing me with?

I am not Mihrunisa.

I have noble blood in me, I can't hide like a fugitive.

Be patient.

If I didn't think of everything, I wouldn't bring you here.

We will face everyone when it's time.

Everyone.

I can not accuse anyone, especially if I have no evidence.

However.

Your testimony will solve this matter, Cihangir.

Rustem will get what he deserves.

Princes.

We were talking about you.

You're investigating about the caftan right?

Of course.

But it is very difficult to draw final conclusions.

It seems that the poison was added on the way to Amasya.

But I heard that everything happened here at the palace.

Cihangir, we shouldn't keep His Majesty waiting any longer.

Your Majesty. Princes Mustafa and Cihangir...

...are waiting for you to receive them.

Let them come.

Your Majesty.

We have just met Rustem Pasha.

The investigation of the caftan began.

Everyone who is involved in this will be punished.

I don't think anything will come out of this...

...especially if it is carried out by Rustem Pasha.

What does that mean?

He already made up his mind.

He says the poison has been applied to the caftan on the road...

...but Cihangir thinks differently.

He is convinced that the caftan...

...was poisoned inside the palace.

Right, Cihangir?

Cihangir?

You know how much I love brother Mustafa.

What happened with the caftan is unacceptable.

I'm also not happy with this.

And I won't let it happen again.

But if you talk to His Majesty, the consequences will be dire.

Are you worried about Rustem so much?

Don't you understand? This will affect mother too.

Her relationship with His Majesty is already bad.

She is our mother, Cihangir.

You don't want her to be accused with this, right?

I can not say I'm sure.

Especially on such a very delicate matter.

Mine is just a guess.

Come in.

Your Highness, the princes Mustafa and...

...Cihangir left His Majesty's chamber.

Praise God everything is fine.

Brother.

Brother Mustafa.

Forgive me, brother.

I let you down.

I was scared that it would be even worse.

Are you mad at me?

No.

I understand you.

After all, on one hand there's me, on the other your mother.

It was my mistake.

I should not ask you this.

As a result, Prince Mustafa marched on the capital.

Jannissaries met him nearby Istanbul.

Did they stop him?

No, Prince.

Ferhat Agha bend the knee to Prince Mustafa.

So much that Jannissaries brought Mustafa to the palace.

All hell broke loose at the palace.

First they thought it was a rebellion.

But when the caftan matter was revealed...

...and peace was restored.

Who poisoned this caftan?

I do not know that, prince.

It is clear that soldiers force him to rebel.

Sooner or later he will rebel.

Ali Agha was Mustafa's ally.

It seems that Ferhat Agha is on the same path.

The soldiers are still on his side.

Thousands of soldiers.

They won't change sides on such a short time.

And don't forget, my prince..

His Majesty stands with you.

So what, Gazanfer? Don't you see?

My brother openly challenged him.

He can take the throne, if he wanted it.

He can send executioners to this palace, if he wanted to.

Give me water.

Bring me wine.

Prince, you repented...

Do not talk, Gazanfer. Bring wine.

As you wish.

God save us.

How can Mustafa dare to march on the capital?

How could His Majesty left this unpunished?

Apparently His Majesty did not treat it as rebellion.

What is this, if not rebellion, Mentor?

I've been saying it for years, no one believed me. Now you see!

It seems Mustafa can march on...

...the palace and slaughter everyone!

Isn't this proof that he didn't rebel?

Like you said, if he wanted it, he could do it.

The Jannissaries fully support him.

Today that's true, alright.

But what about tomorrow?

What will happen tomorrow?

Will we wait for Mustafa to show us mercy?

Open your eyes.

See the truth already!

Your brother whom you love and respect so much...

...is your arch enemy!

Open your eyes!

What do you think, Mentor?

The Sultana is right.

Even if the prince is not your enemy, he is...

...your main opponent in the fight for the throne.

You have to be careful in dealing with him...

...especially after such an event.

No, this can't go on.

I need to return to the capital as soon as possible..

I can't let them use my absence as an opportunity.

We must be patient, Your Highness.

If you leave without permission...

...this will only make the situation worse.

Your Highness.

I need to talk to you about something.

I'm already neck deep in trouble.

I don't have time for your problems!

Enter.

Where's Gazenfer?

When I saw him with wine, I sent him back.

You're angry and you think you need it.

I understand.

But when you stop being angry you will...

...regret that you have broken your promise.

You said nothing would...

...happen if I drink in moderation.

No one may see or hear our sins.

You may lie to anyone.

But you can't lie to yourself.

You can't run away from your own conscience.

Leave me.

You may get angry with me, you may yell at me.

I heard the news from the capital.

No matter what Prince Mustafa does...

...just like Prince Bayezid.

You will sit on the throne...

...and I will be with you.

You are the beloved son of His Majesty.

You made him a promise, remember this.

Drink!

What is it?

What did you give me?

Opium syrup.

It will help with pain.

It will calm you down.

It also has other useful applications, Atmaca.

It you take enough, even the most silent man sings like a bird.

He spills out everything that he's hiding.

Have you had a nightmare?

It's nothing, go to sleep.

Now tell me.

Who are you?

What is your name?

My name...

My name is Tugrul.

So Tugrul.

And what is your nickname?

Nickname?

What is your nickname?

Atma--

- Atmaca. - Atmaca.

Who are you, Atmaca?

Where you were born?

What is your duty?

I--

I am a raider.

From the Turhanoglu family.

I--

I was born in Thessaly.

I have to go, they are waiting for me.

You will go when the time comes.

First, answer my questions.

Who sent you to Prince Mustafa?

I must go home.

They are waiting for me at home.

They're waiting for me.

My wife.

My son.

So you have a wife and a child.

Good.

Who do you serve, Atmaca?

Who told you to protect Prince Mustafa?

I...

I..

Why did the pasha go to Edirne?

Did you throw him out of the palace after your bed?

He had important matters.

A Persian named Elkas Mirza comes and went to meet him.

So Elkas Mirza is coming.

You know him?

I've heard a lot about him.

They say that he is a very brave and attractive man.

Everyone who sees him admire him.

And where did you hear that?

When I was married with my husband, the...

...Persians very often came to us.

I learned from them.

From the Persian Lands, Prince...

...The Great, Elkas Mirza, His Highness.

His Majesty of three continents.

The Great Sultan, Suleiman.

Forgive me.

Your Majesty, did I show disrespect?

I am Rustem Pasha.

The sole representer of Sultan Suleyman Khan.

Forgive me, Your Grace.

Seeing you surrounded by all these splendors...

...anyone would mistake you for His Majesty.

I was sad when you did not accept my invitation, Prince.

But when I saw you at my door today...

...I was very happy.

Finally, I have the honor of hosting you.

Please.

No need Eftalia, I do not drink.

But we ourselves make this delicious wine.

The most delicious wine of the region..

I picked the grapes myself.

You know the purpose of my arrival.

I want to start a war against my brother...

...and take my throne.

I think that in the current situation...

...achieving this won't be easy.

I can not do it myself.

But If Sultan Suleiman is going to support me, no one will stop me.

This way, I can found a country that is friendly to the Ottomans.

I sincerely doubt that this will interest our ruler.

He is busy with Christian countries.

We have still not signed peace agreements with Austria.

Ferdinand's envoys has been waiting for about two years.

Forgive my audacity, Your Grace.

But you will never be able to relax...

...without securing the Persian front.

Honestly, I want to support you too...

...but let's be reasonable.

His Majesty won't decide on a...

...costly campaign against your brother.

However.

If His Majesty learns Tahmasb is having...

...relations with his son Prince Mustafa...

...then everything changes.

Forgive me, Your Grace.

But I did not understand anything.

What do you expect from me?

The chest with the caftan went along...

...with the guards and the messenger.

The messenger died as soon as he wore the caftan.

I talked to all the guards...

...but I did not get any proof.

However, I learned something important.

What?

The tailor's helper...

...vanished suddenly.

No one's heard of him for some time.

Find him and bring him to me.

I have already given the order, Your Majesty.

They are looking for him.

I am sure, however, that they'll find his corpse.

It seems that...

...the poison was applied inside the palace.

Continue the investigation, Sokollu.

Do not take a step back, no matter who is blamed.

Do you understand?

You may leave.

I eat salt.

I sleep on a bed of nails.

My tongue has fell silent.

I can't speak.

Neither dragons...

...nor my poisonous enemies.

Nor my friends who hid their daggers...

...under their clothes could defeat me.

I've seen many seasons, deaths and births...

...wars and weddings all these years.

It feels like you covered...

...me with a protective charm.

And left one thing to harm me.

God.

Pity on me, show mercy.

You have tested me with the absence of my lover once.

Don't let me be away from him again.

Bring us together again.

I was told you were in my mother's room.

I ordered your food to be brought here.

We'll eat together here.

No need, I'm not hungry.

I know you're not eating properly for days.

Some evenings you don't even have dinner.

Your health will deteriorate if you keep this up.

I have no appetite.

I will not allow it.

You must take care of your meals.

My beautiful moon.

You do not have to worry about me.

I am strong and healthy, even if my soul is hurt.

We both know what will help heal your soul.

You could never speak of it until now.

And I did not have the courage to say it.

Put an end to this separation.

You are tormenting yourself and my mother.

You can change everything with a single word.

If everything was so easy.

It's actually that easy.

Just one command is enough.

Your Majesty...

He's not looking well at all.

Each day without my mother kills him more and more.

I'm aware, Your Highness.

I'm afraid he'll get sick.

Then do something, Afife Hatun.

My mother has to return.

As you know, His Majesty think of you as a mother.

He respects you.

What can I do, Your Highness?

Come in.

My prince.

Nurbanu.

Go back to the harem, woman.

Why this woman--

Shhh... come to me. I missed you so much.

If you miss me, why did you go hunting?

I don't understand why you spend so much time hunting.

I think about you all the time.

And I'm constantly thinking about you.

You hold a special place, Nurbanu.

My shining woman.

I hear that you're busy with state affairs.

However.

You have to be careful when having...

...such a beautiful woman as a wife.

You can not neglect her.

You must be bored at the harem, Your Highness.

Since you're here at every chance.

Rustem.

He's right, Mihrimah.

Since Hurrem left, harem is no fun.

I hope that this longing will end soon.

Mom will be back soon.

I don't know how that will come to pass.

For His Majesty could not forgive her.

Enter.

Your Grace.

Elkas Mirza will arrive shortly.

Good.

Inform His Majesty that we will come to him together.

Excuse me.

Your Highness.

This was sent to you.

Who's that from?

An Agha gave it to me.

Someone outside the palace delivered to him.

Your Highness?

Huricihan! She's here!

So this is Mirza.

Your Grace.

His Majesty is waiting for you.

He is just like the rumors.

What do you mean?

Very handsome, valiant young man.

Every woman should have such a man.

Have you noticed how he looked at you?

I do not know where you got that from, Your Highness.

Should I believe my eyes or you?

And what of it?

Looking at a beautiful woman is a godly act.

Especially if that beauty is named Mihrimah.

The one who sees her will go to paradise.

But he will burn with hell fire, as he can't have her.

That's something else.

Huricihan.

Your Highness?

What are you doing here?

How did you find out I'm here?

First answer my question!

What are you doing in Kutahya?

What's your goal? Why did you come?!

You know very well what the purpose of my arrival is.

I came for our prince.

He asked me to.

Bayezıd would never do this.

He would never do this, knowing I do not consent.

We struggle for an impossible love, Your Highness.

We knew everyone would be against it.

Do not talk to me about love!

I know who sent you to us and why!

This is your mission right?

All I want to do is live happily with the prince.

I know, however, that you...

...will do everything to prevent it.

You have only one option, that is to kill me.

You know well how to take a life!

Who are you to talk to me like that?

How can you talk that way before me?

You're used to everyone being trembling at...

...you and bowing to you but I will not do it.

My name is Huricihan, daughter of...

...Ibrahim of Parga. And Hatice Sultana.

Like my father said:

"The darkness of the past will not go away...

...it will chase you like a shadow''

''The day will come when everyone...

...will drown in the blood they shed''

You can leave.

Your Highness.

How can you enter without permission?

What are you doing here?

Recently, the prince hunts very often.

I have heard that there's a woman whom he hunts.

Dilsah Hatun, don't you have anything to do?

If not, I'll find you something.

Wait.

Are you looking for trouble again?

I don't have such an intention.

I'm just telling what I heard.

I'm tired of your lies.

Get out of my sight!

If you want to fool yourself...

...then so be it. I'm okay with it.

What is she saying?

Do not bother, it's empty chatter.

My great Shah, Sultan Suleiman Khan.

It is a great honor to stand before you.

I waited many years for it.

Elkas Mirza.

It is a great joy for me to host such...

...a noble prince as you.

As long as you are in my lands...

...you are under my protection.

You will be welcomed.

I bow with respect to your favor.

The ruler of the seven continents, the...

...shelter of the world, Sultan Suleiman Khan.

I was informed about your situation.

For now rest, we will talk about it in a timely manner.

As you wish, Your Majesty.

However, I would like to talk about one important matter.

The sooner you find out about it the better.

I'm listening.

You know the hostility between me and my brother.

But you should know that...

...you too are a side in this war.

Do you realize what you are saying?

When Tahmasb learned that I would find shelter in your lands...

...he decided to organize a vile ambush.

His goal was to organize a rebellion before my arrival.

However, thank God his plan has failed.

What plan is this?

Why don't we know anything about it?

Prince Mustafa received a poisoned caftan...

...but unfortunately Persian spies poisoned the caftan.

How could this be?

How could Tahmasb reach here?

Are you sure?

I have no doubt, Your Majesty.

My most trusted men informed me about it.

I wanted to warn you, but I was late.

There was a spy here for a long time.

Named Ismail.

They used him.

Mehmet Pasha.

What was the name of the missing tailor?

Ismail, Your Majesty.

What happened?

Where is is wife and child?

They have both been dead for a long time.

Open your eyes please open your eyes!

Do not die!

Osman.

Osman, son.

Osman open your eyes!

Open your eyes son!

You will not die, Atmaca.

You will live.

But I'm at the limit of my patience.

For every day of silence, they will cut you piece by piece.

Rustem discovered how to cover up his betrayal.

He got away with it again.

What if it's true, my prince?

Maybe it's really Tahmasb who's behind it.

No.

That fool puts our state in danger for his own sake.

Prince.

His Majesty has sent for you.

Finally you're here, what are you trying to do?

Do you want to kill me?

What are you trying to do yourself, mother?

Huricihan told me everything but she didn't has to.

She's miserable. You hit her!

Do you dare to demand for answers...

...when you should be ashamed of your act?

Yes, I'm guilty.

But it's not nice, what you did to Huricihan.

I should have done more!

I could kill her if I wanted to!

Behind her innocent face lies a snake!

She came here to get revenge on me...

...for her parents!

I do not know who told you Huricihan was here.

But I know what happened between you two.

The girl did not say a word.

You hit her and threatened her...

...without giving her a chance to speak!

And you believed that, is that it?

I do not know what is true or not.

But there's a fact

I'm in love with Huricihan, and she's in love with me.

It is what it is!

How can you be so blind?

She's not in love with you, her problem is with me!

She came here to hurt me!

She's trying to drive a wedge between us.

Aren't you tired of your own truths, mother?

Don't you think you can ever be wrong?

Why don't you try to understand me?

Why don't you try to make an effort for me?

Is it that difficult?

I will send her away.

She will leave immediately.

Don't you dare, mother. Don't.

You will burn the last bridge between us.

It's true I recieved a poisonous caftan years ago.

It felt like the whole world collapsed that day.

I put up with it anyways.

I didn't even think of a rebellion.

I buried that caftan with the...

...anger that's been growing inside me.

I promised myself something that day.

No matter what happens, I would not let...

...my son go through the same thing.

I swear before God.

I will not kill you.

Never will I do it.

If I did not come here.

If I buried that caftan like you.

I would never find out the truth.

And this sorrow...

...would eat me up from within.

Today I make a promise to you and to myself.

Never again...

...will I make you go through this.

I swear before the Almighty God.

I will never rebel against you, your majesty.

Never ever.

The human soul, like heaven and hell, consists of several circles.

In each circle there are gardens...

...pits of suffering, flowers and fire.

Going down in the depths of hell...

...you face your own evil.

The darkness of the past will never go away.

It chases you like a shadow.

The lies you've told, the hearts you've...

...broken, your jealousy, your unfairness.

Your betrayals, your evil intent.

They will stand before you.

The oaths you sincerely took but then broken...

...will stand before you like immortal ghosts.

And then you will understand.

When you promise yourself ''I will not do this again''

The devil will drop everything he's doing...

...and work until you do that thing.
