Original subtitles

No doubt His Majesty is the shadow of Allah on Earth.

Every Prince should treat whatever comes through his mouth...

...as an order.

Under no circumstances a Prince should act against him.

What if His Majesty wants to take our lives, mentor?

Can't I stand against his order then?

Whatever he orders us to do, everyone has to obey him.

Dad, too?

You can't defy His Majesty's will.

He decides the life and earth.

Mustafa!

Do not act under the influence of anger!

Your Majesty...

This letter, which I will carry on my heart...

...you will probably never read.

I am writing this letter for a future that I don't expect to see.

This is my sole wish.

If my wish does not come true...

...and you receive this letter...

...it means you've executed me.

Leave me!

Oh Your Majesty, oh beloved father...

If you read these words...

...it means that you have torn your own heart out.

And I left this world full of lies and hypocrisy.

Know that you have stained your hands...

...with the blood of an innocent man.

We gave each other a promise.

I promised that I would not revolt against you.

And you would not kill me.

I kept my word, father. I never betrayed you.

I swear to my son Mehmed...

...and daughter Nergisshah, I never betrayed you.

I would never.

You, however, broke your promise.

You did what you swore not to do.

I am leaving this cruel world where a father kills his own son.

Instead of living like a tyrant...

...who killed his own father for power and future...

...I rather die as an innocent.

Perhaps my name will not be written on the golden pages of history.

Nobody will talk about my victories.

I will not have a throne to rule the world.

Historians will write that I was a rebellious prince.

Let them write.

Let them conceal the truth that only God knows.

One day, they will tell the story of the innocent.

Maybe hundreds of years later, someone will tell my story.

People will hear and find out the truth.

On that day, the innocent will be exonerated.

Prince!

My prince!

Brother!

Brother!

He promised!

He said he wouldn't kill him.

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

We heard something on the common room.

When we went out to check, it was lying there dead.

Poor thing.

He's in paradise now, right mom?

May God grant paradise to all the subjects.

Rain is about to come, we should go back to the palace.

May God protect us!

Father!

Father!

-Father! -Your Grace.

Father!

You lied to me!

You lied to me!

You killed an innocent man, father!

An innocent man!

Father!

Prince!

Father!

He loved you so much father...

He loved you so much!

He loved you more than anyone.

Come in.

-Mother. -Sit.

Are you thinking about Prince Mustafa?

Who else should I think about?

All I can think is the message that we'll receive from the camp.

Just as you think about your brother Mustafa...

...do you think about your other brothers, Cihangir and Selim?

If things go wrong in the barracks, they will be the first victims.

If Janissaries find an opportunity, they will rebel without hesitation.

Selim would be left in the middle of the riots.

You know what happened between the Janissaries and your brother.

They hate him.

Cihangir is very sensitive and fragile.

Even if his soul get damaged, his fragile body can't withstand it.

Do you think about these things?

So this is what being a mother is..

Being blind and deaf to any disaster excluding your children's.

Mother, do you know what does brotherhood mean?

Brotherhood...

...is looking at your brother...

...and being able to see love in his eyes.

Being able to feel the warmth of his heart...

...and having harmony in the heartbeats.

For this, you do not have to be born from the same mother!

I'm terrified, mother.

That something bad will happen to Mustafa.

And that I wouldn't even feel it.

I'm terrified.

-Do you give your blessings? -We do!

-Do you give your blessings? -We do!

-Do you give your blessings? -We do!

Since when do we give a funeral to a rebellious prince, Mahmud?

And in the camp.. How could you let this happen?

The Sheikh of the army acted on his own.

We had to allow it, as the Janissaries pressured us.

Is His Majesty in his tent?

He does not accept anybody, Your Grace.

Even the Princes are not granted an audience.

-Did Taslicali come to the funeral? -Yes, Your Grace. He's at the camp.

I'm sorry for your loss, Your Grace.

We couldn't protect the prince.

We couldn't save him.

Your Grace.

You should go back to the tent.

Where do they take my brother?

The prince's body will be transported to Bursa.

He will be buried near Sultan Murad Khan.

Sir Yahya.

Rustem Pasha expects you in his tent.

You did good Hikmet Agha.

You'll be handsomely rewarded.

Janissaries gathered for the funeral, things will get messy afterwards.

You promised, you'll protect me, right?

Taslicali...

...you head on to Amasya.

You will give the bad news to Sultana Mahidevran...

...and the prince's wife.

I will take the Prince's body to his resting place.

You will go to Amasya. You will give this to the Sultana.

His Majesty orders Amasya palace folk to move to Bursa.

Sultanas will be expected for the burial.

You can't have peace with tyranny, Rustem Pasha.

You've poisoned His Majesty with lies and slander.

You put this responsibility on his shoulders.

The day will come when you give an account for everything.

That day, is sooner than you expect.

His Majesty's will is above everyone, Taslicali.

An important task falls on you...

...as the closest man of Prince Mustafa.

Restore the peace. Prevent a riot happening.

Fear won't help your fate.

What did Rustem say?

I have to go to Amasya.

To give the bad news.

No news from Atmaca?

No, Pasha.

They must have killed and disposed of him.

Korkut and Besir are also missing.

They must have been killed too.

I've warned you, Taslicali.

Why did you come here?

-Did you shoot that arrow? -If I could do something more...

There's a traitor among us.

Hikmet Agha.

It was him who threw Atmaca, Besir and Korkut to the wolves.

Cihangir...

Get out, get out of here!

What have I done? What's my fault?

You knew everything! You knew and hid it from me!

You were afraid that I would've prevented it.

Get out! Go away! Get out!

Get out of here! Out!

Hikmet Agha!

What's going on, Aghas?

How dare you enter without permission?

You devil..

You vile man...

The Prince was killed because of your betrayal!

You'll pay for it.

Leave me alone! What are you doing!

I told you to let go! Let go!

Hey people!

Listen to me!

His Grace, late Prince Mustafa...

...died because of this traitor!

He slandered our Prince..

...and collaborated with Rustem Pasha...

...to back stab the Prince!

Prince, things are about to get heated.

You'll be safer in your tent.

Get into your positions! Protect the Pasha. Come on!

What's going on?

Hikmet Agha is exposed, they'll kill him.

Things can get worse.

Damn it! I need to get out of here!

It's impossible, Your Grace. You're safer here.

Pity me! Don't do it!

And did you pity our Prince? Traitor! Hit him!

Kill him!

Let me go! Don't do it!

I'm innocent. Rustem Pasha made me do it!

-He gave the order! -Stop Aghas, stop!

Stop!

You've heard it, right?

He confessed his crime.

He confessed that he made an alliance with Rustem Pasha.

Speak you scum!

Where is Korkut Agha?

Where's Besir Agha? What did you do with them?

Rustem Pasha ordered their execution.

Their bodies were thrown by the river.

Talk you dog!, Confess!

Who else was involved in it?

Take this traitor! Hit him! Kill him!

Soldiers!

Soldiers, let's go!

Rustem Pasha must pay for what he did!

We'll have his head!

What’s going on Ahmed Pasha? Speak immediately!

The Janissaries are furious, Your Grace.

They've killed the commander of the second army, Hikmet.

They say that he made an alliance with Rustem Pasha and...

...set a trap for the Prince.

What trap? It was me who gave the order!

Agha confessed before he died.

By the order of Rustem Pasha, Korkut and Besir Agha were killed.

We do not know what exactly happened...

...but the soldiers are angry.

A riot is about to happen.

They believe Prince Mustafa was innocent.

Innocent, is that so?

Everyone says that Rustem Pasha, and forgive me for saying this but...

...Sultana Hurrem has misled you with lies.

That is why the Janissaries want Rustem's life.

Your Majesty, if we do not interfere...

...things will get worse and we won't be able to prevent it.

Make way! Sergeant Huseyin!

All of you, listen to me!

That traitor Hikmet confessed his guilt!

We will not leave until we take Rustem Pasha's life.

I heard his confession as well.

I repeated each word to His Majesty.

Rustem Pasha is summoned.

He'll be questioned and punished personally.

How can we believe it?

Soldiers, listen to me!

Aghas! Listen to me!

Do not force me to use force.

I don't want a single Janissary get hurt!

I promise you on my honor that...

...Rustem Pasha will pay the price of his guilt.

Make way, soldiers!

If this is a trick...

...they will pay for it!

Pasha, come with me.

Are you crazy? They'll tear me to pieces.

Are you refusing His Majesty's order? Should I tell him this?

Janissaries, let us through. Let us through!

I heard the confession of that fool Hikmet Agha!

From what he said, you had my two Janissaries executed!

True, Your Majesty, I was forced to do so.

They wanted to start an uprising.

They wanted to take you off the throne.

Does this mean that you plead guilty?

Lift your head!

Lift it!

I just wanted to protect You, Your Majesty.

Hikmet Agha, who has been killed, was one of them.

I caught him and I made him confess.

They secretly prepared the uprising.

They wanted to start it before the Prince would enter the tent.

But I prevented them!

Let him go.

Everyone hates you!

They demand you beheaded!

They say that I've killed an innocent prince because of you.

As a father...

...I can understand the situation.

Your pain is great. It's undefinable.

But as a ruler, you made the right decision.

Do not doubt it.

Prince Mustafa was not innocent!

You had no other choice to keep the order, Your Majesty.

You control the world.

You must be strong as ever and stand by your decision.

Otherwise, the order will be broken...

...and the future of the Ottoman Empire will be in danger.

Rustem Pasha, I dismiss you.

Hand over the seal and leave the camp immediately!

Go back to the capital.

I'll decide what to do with you after the campaign!

Get lost!

His Majesty Sultan Suleiman Khan...

...has dismissed Rustem Pasha and banished him from the camp!

He will pay for it!

Sergeant Huseyin!

You got what you wanted. Restore the order.

If he's not the Grand Vizier anymore...

...they can do whatever they want with him, Pasha.

I won't interfere.

Your Grace, the Sultan summons you.

Your Majesty.

-Ahmet Pasha. -Your Majesty.

I dismissed Rustem Pasha.

I appoint you in as Grand Vizier.

May it be blessed.

I just named you as my representer!

Why do you still stand there instead of kissing my feet!

Your Majesty, thank you.

It's a great honor.

I want to fulfill my duty with pride...

-...however... -What do you want, Pasha?

-Do you set conditions to me? -No way, Your Majesty.

I just want to...

...have a guarantee regarding the protection of my life.

As long as I am your Grand Vizier...

...you will not order my execution.

Otherwise, I will not able to fulfill this duty.

I'm thankful that I got out of there alive.

His Majesty is in a bad mood, Pasha.

Destroys everything in his way.

Nevermind that.

Tell me how do I get out of this camp.

I have finished the preparations, we'll go during dawn.

Rustem Pasha, there's something you should know.

His Majesty appointed Ahmed Pasha as the Grand Vizier.

His Majesty sacrificed me first to calm the waters.

Now he appoints Ahmed Pasha as the Grand Vizier.

I suffer for everything while others get rewarded.

Shall we play or practice sword training?

My dad came!

Who is here, Fidan?

It's hard to tell, Your Highness. I cannot see anything from here.

Sultana! Mother! Father has returned!

Praise God!

Where is my father, Taslicali? Did he go to Istanbul?

Where's Atmaca? Why didn't he come with you?

Cat got your tongue? Answer the question!

Taslicali?

Where is my Mustafa?

Where's my lion?

What happened, Taslicali?

For God's sake, say something!

Your Highness...

Our prince...

...has passed away.

Sorry for your loss.

Father?

What happened to my son?

Where's my Mustafa?

Your Highness...

In the tent of His Majesty...

He was executed.

Atmaca?

I am truly sorry, Yusuf.

Be careful.

You are the most precious in this world.

I cannot live if something happens to you.

Don't worry about it, mother.

You'll see...

Your Highness?

My dad went to heaven, right?

He will be waiting for us there.

Why was he killed?

What crime did he commit?

Nothing.

He did not do anything.

His only mistake was being too naive.

He fell victim to his conscience.

His Majesty removed me from my position, brother.

In short, I'm no longer the Grand Vizier.

How is this possible?

Did he learn everything?

No, but even the suspicion was enough. I barely saved myself.

I escaped from the camp in the disguise of an ordinary soldier.

Prince Mustafa's followers will not wait by idly.

They can turn the capital into hell. You have to get prepared.

Do not be afraid.

I will do everything to protect you and the Sultan.

No one can harm you while I'm here.

They'll want to kill you too, Sinan.

Be careful.

Why did Rustem come? Did he say anything?

I am not informed, Your Highness. He wants to see you urgently.

I want to welcome you but..

Judging by your face, the news are not good.

Did Prince Mustafa rebel?

How is my father?

My brothers?

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I came to give the good news.

Good news?

Prince Mustafa...

...by the order of His Majesty...

...was executed.

Mihrimah?

I...

I fought for this for many years.

I've been waiting for this moment for years.

I haven't slept even a single peaceful night.

...and now you say...

...that everything is finished?

That I won?

Is that so?

Are we done?

Have no doubt, Your Highness.

You've gained a great victory.

But it's not over yet.

With his death...

...a fire will spread out everywhere.

The worst thing is that...

...His Majesty dismissed me and threw me in front of the wolves.

I was so desperate...

The Janissaries are enraged. They demand my head.

They'll come eventually. They'll kill me.

What did you expect?

Prince Mustafa was their only hope.

We've taken that away.

We are the cause of his death.

All of their hearts are scorched with fire now.

Now with all their power, they will attack us from every side!

They will want torment you, me and my princes.

It's time to stand strong.

It's time we stand before them, like a mountain!

You know best.

Water do not calm before the waves stop.

Your Highness, are you alright?

Mihrimah?

What's wrong?

Why do you cry?

Mihrimah?

What's going on?

Mustafa...

Speak, Mihrimah.

What happened to Mustafa? Tell me.

He was executed by the order of His Majesty.

Where is my Mustafa, Taslicali?

Did you leave him with those jackals?

The body of the prince...

...was sent to Bursa.

This is the order of His Majesty.

You are ordered to go to Bursa with your household.

From now on, you will live in the palace in Bursa.

I curse the orders of that tyrant!

May God curse the one who killed his son!

Just as he set fire to my heart and my palace.

May God set hell flames to his dearest!

May he burn as he breathes!

May he be damned as he burns!

May he never get better!

The soldiers are at the garden.

They wait for my call.

We're not going anywhere, Taslicali! This is our home!

Amasya is our city, we will not leave!

We're leaving, Nergisshah.

We will...

We must be where my dear Mustafa is at.

Rustem Pasha!

Is it true?

That brother Mustafa was executed?

That's true, Your Grace.

I'm very sorry.

You shameless dog!

Are you saying sorry without a shame?

Are you kidding with us?

You are the reason why Mustafa was killed!

You murdered him! You tyrants!

Your Highness, I understand your pain and your anger.

But we have nothing to do with this incident.

That was the will of His Majesty.

Who can oppose him?

You set him up.

You killed him with lies and slanders!

My God, what a great sin!

You made a father kill his son!

What am I hearing, mother?

-Bayezid, son... -Do not touch me.

My brother's blood is on your hands.

Your Grace.

How can you blame your mother?

Yes, I should blame you.

You were there, right?

You personally pushed him onto his grave, right?

Are you happy now?

Are you satisfied?

Nobody is in your way, right?

You are victorious now!

Move now, what are you waiting for?

Celebrate your dirty victory!

It's true that I did not have good relations with Prince Mustafa.

But I have nothing to celebrate.

I am also deeply affected by this dire incident.

You lie so easily!

How easily you accept Mustafa's death!

How easy you talk about it!

How easy you killed him!

Murderers! You are murderers!

You shed the blood of an innocent man!

Murderers!

It's easy blame me and Rustem for everything!

But do not forget that...

...it was not me, who gave the order to kill the prince.

The prince was sentenced with the will of his Majesty.

If you’re so angry...

...and you want answers for it...

...then you'll have to face His Majesty when he returns.

They killed Prince Mustafa!

They buried the Empire's future with Prince Mustafa.

-Will the Prince's blood be avenged? -We should make them pay!

They killed our prince, they killed him.

It is because of that Russian witch and Rustem Pasha!

Those wretches!

Finally, Agha! I've been waiting for you!

The store is bustling with people! I cannot deal with all these people!

I will not stay here, Yakup.

I just came to see how folks are doing.

You see how it is!

I'm going back to the palace. I cannot stay here.

If they find out I am close to Sultana Hurrem, they wouldn't show mercy.

They'd literally lynch me!

What am I supposed to do by myself? How can I keep up with the shop?

Should I hire someone?

I'm worrying about my life and listen to what you're saying!

We must take revenge! Blood to blood!

They should give us that witch Hurrem's head and her entourage!

You're right, Agha!

We should first kill the ones who are guilty...

...and then ascend the throne the son of Prince Mustafa, Prince Mehmed!

-You're right! -They'll answer for that!

-Will the prince's blood be avenged? -We'll make them pay!

They will pay for everything!

I only had one goal in mind, for returning to the palace after years.

It was protecting Prince Mustafa.

And to help him rise.

But I could do nothing, no matter what steps I took.

I could not get it done, I could not.

We were all powerless, Your Highness.

In the end, Hurrem eventually managed to do it somehow.

The sun of our joy has set.

Here, roses will not grow, birds will not sing.

We will no longer hear the joyous shouting of children.

I wasn't successful...

This is a dark place now.

The prince's spirit will walk around each corner of the palace.

He won't let anyone have peace of mind.

No one can be saved now.

He promised me.

Promised that he would come back, that he would not leave us alone.

Here, in this room.

He promised me...

I said, don't leave.

Don't go there...

"The whole world shrieks with your love."

"The mountains, stones, trees and birds scream you not to go."

But he did anyway.

He tore my heart out and left.

I'm hurt mother, I'm in pain.

It's even hard for me to breathe.

How can I stand to this pain?

I know, Nisa.

I know.

You said you didn't want to leave Amasya.

I cannot, Your Highness! I cannot leave here!

Your absence is so overwhelming...

so much so that I cannot breathe when you are gone.

I've had enough of these secret meetings.

Our love blossomed in Amasya.

Away from all these intrigues and torment, our love will take root there.

I feel that...

...if I leave here...

...I will betray him and break my word.

I cannot! I will not leave here!

Besides...

...I don't what did Sultan Suleiman order.

We will go to Bursa, not because that tyrant ordered us...

...but to reunite with Mustafa.

To give him our last farewell.

Was my father there as well?

When the executioners strangled my brother, was my father there?

He was in his tent.

And the executioners secretly snuck in there earlier.

Nobody knew about it, including me.

It's clear His Majesty thought of this here, planned for it and set off.

Are you scared?

I did not believe it, Rustem!

I didn't think it was possible.

Because I knew my father.

He would not even hurt a fly.

I thought he wouldn't do it, he wouldn't be able to.

But he killed him.

He killed his own child!

It was the decision of the Sultan of the world.

Not a father's!

Cihangir must be damned.

He was already born with a burden on his back...

...this will be even heavier one for him.

We are the ones in danger. They will come after us!

They will demand our heads.

They accuse us of this incident.

Is that a lie?

Aren't we the ones who spilled blood on my father's hands?

If I hadn't stolen the seal and...

...if you hadn't written that letter...

...none of this would happen!

The city is on the brink of chaos, Your Highness.

They've lost their minds, they demand blood!

Stating the obvious.

A state of chaos is on the way.

What matters is to be able to control it.

Have you heard anything else?

They say that Sultana Hurrem and Rustem Pasha must be killed.

They stir up the place saying they should put Prince Mehmed on the throne.

It's all talk! We shouldn't worry about it.

On the contrary.

It has to be taken seriously.

I have to take it seriously so we don't face troubles later.

Fahriye, bring me a paper and an ink pot.

As you wish, Your Highness.

I need to inform His Majesty about these rumors.

I can give my condolences with it too.

Who knows when he'll return from the campaign.

Your Highness.

I wish you a good journey.

Take care of Yusuf.

Do not worry, Taslicali.

Atmaca has entrusted him to us.

Give us your blessings, Taslicali.

You were a faithful companion of Mustafa.

Your Highness.

You should give me your blessings.

Forgive me.

I could not stop them.

I couldn't prevent it.

I couldn't protect our Prince.

This is our destiny.

Long live, Prince Mehmet!

In graceful plea!

This world's realm weeps with shattered grace,

Fate's hand embraced Mustafa Khan, a solemn trace.

The moon of beauty's light eclipsed, the court's embrace misplaced,

They laid upon the House of Osman an unjust, tragic embrace.

Once they passed gallantly through that battlefield's horizon,

Fate transformed the king of the era into a wounded lion.

The false one's empty slander and hidden malice's scorn,

Caused our tears to flow, igniting the fire of separation's mourn.

Like a villain, he did not commit crime with his own soul,

Drowned in the flood of calamity, the pillars collapsed and lost control.

Oh, how I wish my eyes had never witnessed this tale,

My sight should have been spared from beholding this painful travail.

Your Highness.

How is Bayezid?

He is quite furious.

You can see that the death of Prince Mustafa deeply hurt his soul.

He decided to go to Bursa for the funeral, Your Highness.

Please, stop him.

This is a quite dangerous trip.

Especially in a situation like this.

We got what we wanted Nurbanu.

His Majesty ordered the execution of Prince Mustafa.

I feel that I am one step closer to the throne and victory.

My strongest rival is gone.

I feel relaxed.

But I don't know if I'm happy or not.

I cannot give an answer to this question.

I would like to listen to the voice of my heart...

...but these days, the voice of conscience drowns out all other voices.

I cannot hear anything else!

Come in!

I brought you milk, Your Highness.

Drink it, it will calm you down.

And it will help you overcome insomnia.

Nothing can help me now, Canfeda.

Why are you in this state, Your Highness?

Should not you be happy and festive?

I cannot help it, Canfeda.

I think about the death of Prince Mustafa.

I am thinking about the road that led him to death.

May God protect us.

Nobody deserves to die like that.

Why did you decide to go to Bursa?

The people are angry now.

All that's needed is a spark to light the fire!

I won't let you! You will not go!

I did not ask you for permission, mother!

Bayezid--

Let me at least mourn my sorrow.

Let me fulfill my last obligation to my brother Mustafa!

I did what I thought was right!

I said what I thought was right!

I am not the murderer of Prince Mustafa.

Do not look for the guilty under this roof!

His own ambition and pride led him to death.

Leave me alone!

Your Majesty, we received a letter from Sultana Hurrem.

You may leave.

Oh Sultan, the sun of my joy. I cannot fathom your suffering.

But I know that you made a good decision.

The Prince who wants rebel cannot be forgiven at all!

He was a bad seed, a boil.

You tore out that boil.

No one dares to accuse you.

Your Majesty, the soul of my soul!

I did not want to write about this while you're mourning, however...

...there are some things you need to know about.

Unfortunately, we're nervous on the capital.

There are many people who want to take advantage of the current situation...

...and stir up a chaos.

I'm afraid that this can turn into rebellion.

I hear there are people who wants to...

...ascend the son of Prince Mustafa, Prince Mehmed to the throne.

Traitors can use the Prince to achieve their vile goals.

If you do not take appropriate precautions at once, things can get out of hand.

The day we'll be together is the day I'll be happy.

Your subject, concubine Hurrem.

Attention!

My Mustafa, my lion!

My innocent and naive son!

How could they kill you?

How could they take your life away?

Are those who did this to you at peace now?

Get up! Get up!

Get up son!

You don't belong here.

You don't belong here.

What will I do without you?

What will I do now?

I don't have anyone but you.

Come on, open your eyes!

Open your eyes Mustafa!

Open your eyes!

Ibrahim Pasha.

I'm listening, Commander.

His Majesty appointed you as the Guardian of Istanbul.

In addition, he has given you one more important task.

You must set off immediately.

You will go to Bursa.

Sultana! Sultana!

What are you doing here?

How dare you appear here?

You, your mother, haven't you had enough blood?

What else do you want?

I am hurt as well, Your Highness.

A piece of soul was taken from me!

If only I knew about it, I would not let him go.

It's your fault too.

You could not keep the secret that he entrusted to you!

And now you are telling me that you are innocent?

God is my witness...

...that I didn't do anything wrong.

My pain...

...is as real as yours.

You are the son of Hurrem!

You'll carry this sin all your life!

It will not give you solace!

Inform Prince Cihangir that I have arrived.

Pasha, His Grace does not want to see anyone.

Pasha.

The prince is in dire condition.

What’s wrong with him?

He does not eat or sleep a wink.

If he continues to do so, he'll fall sick, God forbid.

It's for you.

A small souvenir from me.

Agha, things are not good! The situation is getting out of control.

Hush, Yakup, quietly! Do not shout!

Come on, tell me what's going on?

People won't calm down, Agha. They're all bloodthirsty!

They'll behead Rustem Pasha!

They want to throw Sultana Hurrem down the walls.

Istanbul will soon be in flames, Agha!

May God protect us.

Amen.

But what do we do, Agha?

What do we do?

We should stay low for a while.

We should close the shop until the situation calms down.

Good idea, Agha.

Hey, people!

We're closing!

Why is that? We haven't finished the coffee yet.

Am I supposed to wait for you? Come on!

Off you go! Coffee is on the house, no need for money.

You...

Are you not Sumbul? A servant from the harem?

The one who does what Hurrem asks! Her puppet!

No sir, you are mistaking for someone.

You're lying!

I know you!

Is that Russian witch and Rustem happy now?

Did they quench their hunger for blood?

They will pay for what they did.

Those killers will die by our hands!

I don't even want to go back to the capital, Mentor.

If it was up to me, I'd stay and pray for my brother for days.

You are the Regent, Your Grace.

Your hold a vital task.

It wasn't right for you to come here at all.

I wondered why His Majesty honored me with this service?

Now everything is clear as day.

If I were in the camp...

...I would have prevented brother Mustafa on his way to death.

That's why he didn't want me there.

That's why...

...he appointed me instead of Selim, just to make me stay in the capital.

Forget the past, Prince Do not think about these things.

Think about the future now.

The war continues. The war never ends.

Only the opponents change.

Now you are left alone with Prince Selim.

From now on, a war between you will begin.

It's not the time for that.

Let me mourn at least.

Mourning lasts only for forty days, prince.

On the 41st day...

...life continues where it left off.

Come in!

Your Highness.

What's up, Fidan?

A council vizier, Ibrahim Pasha, has arrived.

He wants to see you.

-Why did he come? -I do not know, Your Highness.

Aghas! Aghas! Let's start with him!

Let's begin!

Is he not the dog of Hurrem?

Yes! Yes! Dog of Hurrem!

Don't do this Aghas!

Get a grip!

I left the palace already!

Liar!

-I'm innocent! -He's still talking!

Wreck this place!

Your Highness.

We are all very sad about the death of the Prince.

May God have mercy on his soul!

Did you travel all this way...

...to express condolences, Pasha?

I came by order of the Sultan.

You have been assigned a palace in Gemlik, Your Highness.

You will go there and I will escort you.

Why was this needed?

Gemlik is by the sea. The palace there is much better than this.

In addition, it is closer to the capital.

Apparently His Majesty wants you to live comfortably.

Go and tell Your Majesty...

...even if he invited me to his own palace, it makes no difference.

There is no peace for us in this world.

Just like there's no peace for him..

I'm just a servant, Your Highness

And I am obliged to fulfill the order of His Majesty as soon as possible.

Start the preparations.

Tomorrow I'll be back.

Your Highness.

This is not a good sign, Your Highness.

What does this mean?

They want us to be far away from everyone.

Until the situation blows over.

As anticipated, Pasha. People are revolting, rebellion began!

Well, what about the Janissaries?

There are not many of them in the capital.

Most of them are on the campaign.

But they're still the vanguard of the rebellion.

They're provoking everyone.

Take all security measures, Sokollu!

I'll do everything in my power.

But it would be better if you stayed low for a while.

I would also advise you to leave the capital.

Just do what I told you.

Sinan, we can't trust him completely.

He might want to get rid of me, as I'm dismissed now.

Stay here and do not let anyone close to my palace.

Do not worry about it.

-What are you preparing for? -We're going to visit my mother, Rustem.

What is going on?

You will not go anywhere. You cannot even leave the palace.

-Why is that? -A rebellion broke out, Mihrimah.

They’re coming for my head.

Your Highness...

Istanbul Governor Ibrahim Pasha will come back tomorrow.

What will we do?

I have a terrible gut feeling.

What if they're after Mehmed?

What if they want to kill him?

If that were the case, they would have killed him long ago.

They would have killed him here, before our eyes.

I do not believe anyone anymore, Your Highness.

You are right.

We have no choice but to go to Gemlik.

Otherwise, they will take us there by force.

Your Grace, His Majesty is waiting for you.

Please watch your words, Your Grace.

His Majesty is highly sensitive now.

Your Majesty, I didn't want to bother you now, but the matter is serious.

Cihangir is in terrible situation.

I tried to talk to him as a brother, but he would not listen to me.

What's wrong with Cihangir?

He has not eaten anything in days. He has fallen weak.

He can't keep this up.

We should have left the palace while there was time.

Now we are trapped. Isn't this what they wanted?

Do not worry, Mihrimah. Sinan is here.

I have requested additional guards as well.

They'll deal with these scum.

What if they get inside?

Don't worry, Mihrimah.

I'm here.

I will not let anyone hurt you.

Sultana, I have led everyone to the cellars. They're safe for now.

The crowd in front of the palace is growing.

Guards are on their way, but...

...if this carries on, they can't help us either.

I saw.

I also had to come through the back gate myself.

Get ready! I'm taking them to the main palace.

Your Highness.

Then this fire can spread to the palace.

Let me take them to another place.

At least until this blows over.

Mother.

Mihrimah! Humasah, my angel!

Your Highness, what are you doing here?

Why did you leave the palace? What if something happened to you?

I could not just sit and wait!

Do you see what happened to us, mother?

They all want to kill us. They are blinded by anger!

We must remain calm, otherwise we will make a mistake.

Of course we'll get through this.

What's on your mind, Your Highness?

Sinan Pasha ordered servants to prepare the palace in Uskudar.

You'll hide in there for some time.

No one would think you're there.

What matters is getting out of the palace.

They surrounded us, we're trapped.

With nightfall, the crowd will disperse.

If not, it will surely decrease!

Then we can leave the palace through the back gate.

An imperial boat will be waiting in Seraglio Point.

We will sail towards Uskudar together.

Guards!

Where is the prince?

He was sleeping, Your Majesty.

Where is Cihangir? Find him immediately!

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Prince Mehmet will be seated in the carriage in the front.

Why is that?

This is more appropriate according to the traditions.

Cihangir?

Son?

Cihangir!

Cihangir!

Your Majesty, the prince is here!

Cihangir?

Son?

Stay away from me!

Cihangir?

Stay away from me!

You lied to me!

I have witnessed in your sin.

Not only did my brother die that day, but you died for me too!

My father died as well!

Cihangir, it's cold here.

You'll get sick, we'll talk in the camp, come on!

That's what you said to brother Mustafa!

You summoned him.

You said you just wanted to talk to him!

You said you were going to listen to him!

It was all a lie!

You made up your mind right from the beginning.

We set out on an expedition so that you could kill him!

And I begged you, I kneeled before you!

I asked, if you will kill my brother!

And you said no!

Enough, get up! Let's go! Stand up!

What will you do to me? Will you kill me too?

Kill me! I am not afraid of death! Kill me!

You are not my father anymore!

You are not!

I ordered a shrine to be built in the name of Prince Mustafa.

If necessary, I will spend all my wealth on it.

Let those admirers come and pray for my son.

Prayers are not enough, Your Highness.

Those who loved the Prince must avenge him.

This is now my only wish.

What's happening? Why did we stop?

We'll find out soon.

What happened, Agha?

The wheel is broken, Fidan. We have to fix it.

What's happening? Why did we stop?

The wheel is broken, Your Highness.

Tell them to stop!

Tell them to stop!

Mehmed!

Mehmed!

Son!

Where is my mother's carriage? Why can't I see them?

Do not be afraid Prince. She'll catch up.

She's just fallen behind.

-Then, let's wait! -Prince, please sit down.

Ibrahim Pasha, I order you to stop the carriage!

Forgive me, Your Grace.

But this is His Majesty's order.

From now on you will no longer see your mother!

I mean everything...

...that has happened between us.

I did not want any of it, Mustafa.

I never had a choice.

It's just the twist of fate.

Even if wanted, we can't be on the same side.

You're on one side, I'm on the other.

And unfortunately...

...the victory of one side..

...will be the other's disaster.

What a shame, isn't it?

You and me, Mustafa.

Under one condition we wouldn't fight...

Only if you were my son..

...so that we wouldn't have come face to face in this bloody war.
