Original subtitles

Rise to the heavens from this ugly world.

Let your soul rest in peace.

Take a spiritual walk in distant lands.

You have escaped this world that is...

...full of evil, burning with the fire of sin.

Built yourself a house full of love and...

...happiness, start living there.

Oh my soul.

If my body in this mortal...

...world is destroyed, then so be it.

Go to the Creator of my body.

If my body has fallen onto earth, so be it.

Become life, from head to toe.

Become soul.

Do not be sad when death comes to you, and...

...your face turns into the color of saffron.

Soon you will walk the...

...paths among purple tulips.

If you have been taken away...

...from friends and left alone, do not be sad.

Make friends with God.

If you are deprived of that holy bread...

...become bread yourself...

...and give strength to hearts.

My condolences, brother.

Only we are left.

It is true.

First Mustafa and now Cihangir.

What a pity that those who should die...

...are still alive.

Do not get your hopes up, Bayezid.

One of us will only survive.

And that will be me!

Mother.

Cihangir was very dear to all of us.

He was precious.

Together we will overcome this pain.

There is no other way.

- Mother, where are you going? - Leave me alone!

Sumbul!

God.

Will this pain end?

Will it be relieved?

Or will my wound keep bleeding until I die?

God.

Almighty Lord who have created the heavens.

Why did you take Cihangir from me?

Why?

Did you take him for my sins?

If so, why didn't you kill me instead?

I committed those sins myself!

I am the sinner, I am the guilty!

I did everything!

Cihangir is innocent.

My son was innocent.

If you were to take a life...

...you should have killed me not my son!

You should have killed me!

Not my son!

Not my son.

Not my son.

Your Highness!

God.

God!

Your Highness, thank God.

God has spared your life.

God protected you, mother.

What if you were there sooner?

I don't even want to think about it.

Your Highness.

Allow her, she should be alone.

Cihangir.

Cihangir.

Bayezid.

How is mother feeling?

How can she be? She's miserable.

She sleeps holding Cihangir's caftan in her hand.

Nothing can comfort her now.

Cihangir was the youngest...

...the most fragile of us all.

He was our innocence.

He was the only one...

...who was free from the throne ambition.

And now neither him nor Mustafa is with us.

I do not know how we'll be able...

...to face each other after all this.

I really do not know.

Bayezid.

You are the one who pushed Mustafa...

...to wrong alliances.

If you want to blame someone, look at yourself first.

Enough!

Stop accusing each other on such a day.

Is your hatred that strong?

Stop blaming each other!

You are the children of the Sultana Hurrem.

You can't fight, you can't hold grudges.

Peace is the only way.

You do not understand Mihrimah.

Everything has changed.

Is peace even possible?

Ask yourself that first.

Coffee with milk. My invention.

It takes away the strong taste of coffee...

..adds an amazing flavor, sir.

It's very popular lately.

Isn't Sumbul here?

Why do you ask?

Nothing.

He's my friend. I got worried not seeing him.

He returned to the palace.

And gave me the shop.

Enjoy.

No one could withstand this much treachery.

Prince Cihangir could not withstand it.

This world's burden was too heavy on him.

It all began with the execution of Prince Mustafa.

As long as Rustem Pasha is alive...

...Prince Mustafa will have no peace.

Our prince is rolling in his grave.

Sir?

Didn't you like it?

The Pasha is feverish...

...but his general condition is good.

He just needs rest.

Do not leave him unattended.

His life will not be the same, unfortunately.

He'll feel inadequate.

We must do our duty...

...so he doesn't lose his balance.

As you command, Your Grace.

We will do everything medicine wise.

Good.

Where am I?

Relax.

I brought you the Marble Palace.

You will stay here until you recover.

I will be with you.

You do not have to, I can do it myself.

I know you're mad at me.

We will talk about it.

But now is not a good time.

Now you have to recover...

...and regain your old strength.

Come in.

Nurbanu.

What happened?

You didn't expect me?

Of course I did.

But not so fast.

I set off as soon as I got your letter.

Even the rest breaks during the trip...

...were a torment to me.

I just wanted to get back to you as soon as possible.

My condolences.

These were tough days, Nurbanu.

Especially when you were away.

I am with you now.

I'll be your support.

I'll give you strength.

Everyone is very sensitive.

You must be patient and smart, Prince.

Especially now, when you're the regent.

One wrong step may lead to disaster.

Mentor, I've already tasted disaster.

My innocent brother Mustafa fell victim to...

...the ambition of Rustem Pasha and my mother!

Cihangir.

Cihangir died of sorrow.

What could be worse than this?

Huh? Say it!

Be careful prince.

What you say is very dangerous!

Whenever a man rebels to God...

...God sends even more tragedies to him.

Prince.

Sultana Huricihan has sent this.

I was thinking Mentor.

Huricihan also played a part in my brother's death.

If she did not expose my brother's secret...

...His Majesty would not be so angry at him.

Perhaps he would not have trusted him...

...and not believe the lies.

Of course.

Like happiness, pain also is bonded together.

Maybe you are right but...

...such thoughts have no end...

...and it won't anyone any good.

You already know what I think about...

...Sultana Huricihan.

It was a mistake.

In my opinion, you should write a letter.

She should stay in Kutahya and stay low.

The situation is already complicated enough.

I do not want it.

It will reduce your pain.

Believe me.

How can I believe you?

How can I trust you after all this?

You left me to my fate.

You left me to die!

I was going to come.

I was coming sword in hand, God is my witness.

Losing you would destroy me.

I've found you after all these years.

I could not lose you.

Then why did not you come?

Even the strongest armor...

...has a weakness, Sinan.

My weak point is love.

Sultana Mihrimah.

She stopped me.

Prevented me from coming.

I deemed she was right.

After all, it was a trap.

If I had come...

...both you and I would be dead.

I was not even sure if you were still alive.

They could have killed you long ago.

Either way, you could have done...

...something to save me.

I did.

I sent my best people.

They told me that there us no one there.

I was devastated when I got the news.

I thought you were dead.

But thank god you're all here and alright.

I will find that Atmaca who has done...

...this to you and I'll tear out his heart!

Do you know why Atmaca released me?

So you would remember...

...how you sold out your brother...

...everytime you look at me.

How does Sultana Hurrem feel?

I hope she's alright.

Cihangir's death really shook her.

Even I do not have the courage to visit her.

Come in!

I just saw my nephews.

They're grown up.

And how are you?

Praying for your health, Your Highness.

I was going to come to give you condolences.

My condolences.

May Prince Cihangir rest in paradise.

Amin.

You'll visit me later.

Now leave me alone with my brother.

What's up Mihrimah?

Something bad happened?

I've been thinking about it for days.

I couldn't find the words.

As I was afraid to face it.

His Majesty.

How was he?

How did he receive Cihangir's death?

And the pain for Mustafa's loss?

He is miserable.

He sentenced Mustafa to die.

And maybe along with him, Cihangir too.

But he's the one who's hurt the most.

And Cihangir?

Did he suffer a lot before he died?

No.

He died without pain or suffering.

The physicians gave him opium syrup.

I wish I could prevent it.

Will you, like Bayezid...

...accuse me of what happened?

Before we held Cihangir's funeral...

...he told me it would be better if I died.

He said it in front of everyone.

If he continues to behave like that...

...I will have to teach him a lesson.

Don't Selim.

Don't!

In spite of everything...

...Bayezid is Regent.

You must show respect to his position.

Any news about Atmaca?

Unfortunately no, Your Grace.

He's probably in hiding.

Put more men after him.

You have to find that dog!

What you say is not possible, Your Grace.

What do you mean?

What are you saying?

We have our orders, Your Grace.

All of us have been warned.

We can't fulfill your orders.

What is the meaning of this?

Who ordered you so?

Huh?

We must warn Gazanfer Agha.

Maybe someone saw something or heard something.

People with evil intent...

...always look for a misunderstanding.

You might suffer for it, God forbid.

Walls have ears in this palace, Your Highness.

There is no one here.

If it was not important...

...Gazanfer would not call us here, right?

Gazanfer?

Your Highness.

What is it?

Read it!

Read it and you will understand everything.

Here, Mentor.

Send it to Kutahya immediately.

As you command.

So much had happened, we didn't even know.

You did a great job, Gazanfer.

It's an honor for me if I made you happy.

Like you wouldn't even believe.

Make a wish.

I do not want anything but to be with you...

...and serve you.

Good.

Soon all hell will break loose at the palace.

Those who do not take Prince Bayezid seriously...

...will pay for it bitterly.

Your Grace.

You have commanded all the guards...

...not to follow my orders!

What is going on Sokullu?

Explain immediately!

It's attracting attention, Your Grace.

You know the circumstances have been changed.

Unfortunately, you are no longer the Grand Vizier.

Man, do you know what you're saying!

Who are you to issue such orders?

How dare you!

This is not my order.

It was order of Ahmed Pasha, the Grandvizier.

Moreover, he doesn't...

...even want you to stay at the palace.

However, I sent him a letter explaining the situation.

After all, you're only here temporarily.

Temporarily, is that right?

It's your time to shine, isn't it?

You got what you wanted, thanks to Ahmed pasha.

But do not forget Sokollu, this storm will...

...die soon, and I'll be the Grandvizier again.

I hope so, Your Grace.

That's also my wish.

However, until that day, I have to obey...

...Grandvizier Ahmed Pasha's orders.

I am the son-in-law to Sultan Suleiman Khan.

Sultana Hurrem and Sultana Mihrimah are behind me.

I do not want to involve them in this matter.

But if you follow Ahmed pasha...

...using my absence as an opportunity...

...you'll pay for this with your life.

Did you understand?

And now give the order...

...to find that bandit Atmaca!

If you bring him to me...

...I may forget your disrespect.

Thank God he fell asleep, Your Highness.

It's the effect of the medicine physician woman gave.

Who can withstand so much pain, Fidan?

Mustafa first, and now Mehmet.

How many victims will these...

...bloodthirsty tyrants will have?

Keep giving her the medicine.

It's better that she sleeps.

I hope that his brothers in Algeria can console her.

I hope so, Your Highness, I hope so.

Do you want some medicine too, Your Highness?

You'll get comfortable until we reach Istanbul.

Come in!

Nurbanu?

Get out, leave us alone.

Prince.

You will not believe what I'll tell you.

Prince Bayezid married Sultana Huricihan.

What are you saying?

How did you find out?

Thanks to Gazanfer.

He did not want to bother you when...

...you were mourning Cihangir.

So this message got to me first.

Would you look at that?

Bayezid acted on his own again.

Let's see what mother will say about this.

No prince!

What do you mean no?

If Sultana Hurrem finds out about this letter...

...she'll try to cover it up.

Especially Sultana Mihrimah will definitely prevent it.

Prince Bayezid will deny everything.

Saying he didn't write the letter.

We can not leave this to chance.

I see that you have something on your mind.

Sultana Hurrem locked herself...

...in Cihangir's chambers.

Nobody has seen her since that day.

Finally, God punished her.

She pays for what she did to Prince Mustafa.

The worst is still yet to come for her.

God...

...has taken his loved subjects to his side.

My Mustafa.

My Cihangir.

I hope they find peace and comfort in...

...paradise, surely they didn't find any here.

Amin.

Your Highness.

May Prince Mustafa and Prince Cihangir...

...rest in peace.

May God hear our prayers so he doesn't give...

...any more pain to our dynasty.

Amin.

I am surprised.

How did she come here?

Gulfem, this woman is bad.

Don't let her fool you.

She's got much more than she lets on.

She's aware the balance has changed.

She's trying to get along with everyone.

I don't think she'll disobey Sultana Hurrem.

You never know.

Prince.

Shiek Al Islam Ebussud Effendi...

...sends his condolences.

Like everyone, he very much regrets...

...the loss of our prince Cihangir.

I thank the Shiekh.

Give him my love and respect.

You can leave.

On 40th day ceremony after Cihangir's death...

...you ordered to do charity for Prince Mustafa's soul.

Why did you do this?

They have an equal place in my heart.

So is their pain.

I deemed it appropriate.

I won't explain myself to you.

You and your pitiful mercy.

Mercy?

What mercy, Selim?

I buried my two brothers.

I don't have a speck of mercy left in me.

You still don't understand?

Come in!

Your Highness.

Sultana Nurbanu is here.

She wants to see you.

Let her in.

Your Highness.

I couldn't find your at the harem, I was worried.

I hope you are alright.

The whole harem is gossiping...

...about the state of Sultana Hurrem.

Her pain and suffering...

...has become fun and joy for others.

Sultana Hurrem should get on her feet...

...let everyone feel her presence.

It is not that easy.

She is a mother who lost two sons.

I hope Selim and Bayezid will not fight.

So my mother can find peace.

It all depends on Selim.

I do not understand, Your Highness.

Bayezid is impulsive.

He's quick to anger and quick to calm.

And Selim will not sit by idly.

He'll find something to provoke him.

Sultana Hurrem supports Selim...

...by telling him that he'd never walk alone.

Don't you share your mother's opinion?

What insolence!

Am I supposed to explain myself to you?

Of course not, Your Highness.

I wouldn't dare.

It seems to me that you are already...

...planning something in your beautiful head.

But be careful woman.

Don't bite more than you can chew.

Take care of your responsibilities.

Take care of your children.

Make Prince Selim happy.

That's enough.

And about my mother.

The mourning is over.

Time to leave that chamber.

You wait here.

Your Majesty.

40 days have passed.

Mother.

I know...

...nothing I'll say will do any good.

You'll bear this pain for the rest of your life.

But you have two sons and a daughter who desperately...

...wants to see your face and hear your voice.

You have to survive for us.

Selim, Bayezid.

Make way! Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Ahmet Pasha.

Make your preparations, we're going to Amasya.

Your wish is my command.

Mahidevran.

Your Highness.

Our loss is great.

That's Mihrunisa.

My late son's wife.

I sent word to her brother, Captain Hasan.

He's sent a ship to get her.

They will sail to Algeria.

By that time she'll stay here with me.

May God give you patience...

...and strength to endure, Your Highness.

Amin.

Gulfem, I'm breathing only for one reason.

Just as I have burned...

...I want them to burn too.

Those tyrants who killed my son and grandson...

...I want them to suffer in pain.

Until then, I will not sleep.

I will not die.

They already began to pay for what they did.

Rustem Pasha.

Fearing for his life, hides like a rat.

And about Hurrem.

God gave her the greatest pain there is.

Loss of a child.

And what about Sultan Suleyman?

Isn't he the one who killed his...

...own son and grandson?

Isn't he responsible...

...for the death of poor Cihangir?

Get a grip, woman.

You can not talk about the dynasty like that.

Everyone will pay for their deeds.

In this world or in the next one.

If not on the court of the earth...

...then on the divine court.

But the day will come when he will pay for it.

Come on, this way.

Until your chambers are ready, you will stay with me.

Enter.

Your Highness.

What's up, Sumbul?

Sultana Mahidevran came to the palace.

What is she doing here?

I do not know.

The widow of Prince Mustafa is also here.

Sultana Fatma must have let them in.

Or they would never get in.

On top of everything, now this.

Obviously, they came to get revenge on my mother.

Your Highness.

I do not know whether to tell Sultana Hurrem.

She'll get even worse, if she hears about this.

She's already not well at all.

If you have a problem one day...

...don't complain to God, saying you have a big problem.

Turn to your problems and say, God is big.

Make way!

Haseki Sultana Hurrem.

Sultana Hurrem.

Get in front!

Mother, let's get out of here!

Mother!

Step aside.

The light of my heart has gone out, Your Highness.

Ever since you took away my prince.

Ever since you took away my beloved

I fell into darkness.

When I was drowning in a sea of blood, my son...

Mehmet held my hand.

He drew me out of this abyss of pain and mourning.

I relied on him.

I held him.

But you...

...you also took him away from me.

If he lived and was with me...

...I could have my spring again.

Flowers would bloom in the mountains...

...and the birds would sing.

The smell of roses...

The smell of roses would be everywhere.

Not the smell of blood!

You, Your Highness.

You have changed the seasons in this world.

You unleashed such a winter...

...this cold wind will never stop blowing.

It will sweep away everything in its path.

It will drag everyone to their fates.

My winter is over, Your Highness.

And your winter...

...it is just beginning.

Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Dad's here.

I don't want lessons, I want hunting!

I want to be a man!

I'm so bored! There are always lessons!

Help! Help! My world is destroyed.

The angels of death took away Mustafa.

A great man has been removed from this world.

The great Ottoman dynasty was buried in the grave.

Lokman Agha!

Your Majesty.

Bring Taslicali Yahya.

As you command, Your Majesty.

What are you waiting for here?

Cat got your tongue, Taslicali?

Answer my question.

I will not answer...

...to a lowly dog like you!

Watch your words, Yahya.

Do not forget...

...that you lost your position and power!

Just as I sent Atmaca to hell...

...I'll send you with him.

Mahmut Agha!

Yahya Bey, His Majesty summons you.

His Majesty is very sensitive these days.

Behave yourself, Yahya Bey.

If you value your life, that is.

Do you think I care about my life...

...when Prince Mustafa lost his?

Come in!

Your majesty.

Did you write this poem?

I didn't know if anyone would read it...

...be affected by it...

...or would it console our pain.

However...

This is all I could do.

I bow to whatever verdict you give, your majesty.

I could not die as a soldier.

At least I want to die as a poet.

Your writing is strong.

Your poems are good.

This is your duty in this universe.

I do not know how your life will end...

...but I'm sure you will die as a great poet.

As long as I live, no one can accuse...

...you of what you wrote or punish you.

Now go...

...and do not get in my way again!

People are mad, Your Highness.

God protect us, why leave the palace at all?

People are aware of who did what.

They won't hurt me

Mahidevran must return to her palace.

Her behavior scares me.

I try to stop her tears, but it is impossible.

I hope that I can console her.

How will that be, Your Highness?

Wait here.

Your Highness.

It's been a long time.

Rustem.

Are you sleeping with a dagger?

When the guards are at your door?

It is difficult to predict who is a traitor...

...and who is not.

I am not safe anywhere, Mihrimah.

How is Sultana Hurrem?

Better.

She's trying to recover for me, Selim and Bayezid.

I hope Bayezid and Selim behave...

...so mother is not disappointed.

Now only they're left.

They can not fight each other.

There must be another way.

There is no other way, Mihrimah.

At the end of this path is the grave.

At the end of this path is death.

One of them will fall, the other will stand.

One of them is Abel and the other is Cain.

Time will show who will be the winner.

So Mihrunnisa Hatun could not stand it any longer.

May she rest in peace.

Amin.

Mahidevran is not well also.

However, she draws strength from his pain,

She wants revenge badly.

That's why I wanted to talk to you.

As you know Rustem Pasha came to the palace.

Have you received any news...

...from your husband Ahmet Pasha?

Rustem Pasha should be sent away until now.

Sokullu must have prevented it.

But it's no use.

Ahmet Pasha will soon appear at the capital...

...and he'll do what's necessary.

His Majesty is now in Amasya.

Amasya?

Why is that?

Who knows.

Maybe he wanted to say goodbye to his son.

I have to go now.

I have to prepare before Ahmed pasha arrives.

If something happens, send a...

...message to Yeni Bahce palace.

I'll contact you.

Come in.

Prince.

Welcome to the capital, Ahmet Pasha.

Not everyone can become...

...the Grandvizier to His Majesty.

My congratulations.

I believe that you will be worthy of this important position.

You grace me, my prince.

With your words you have made your servant Ahmet happy.

Good.

What news do you bring? Speak.

We are in the middle of peace talks...

...with the Safavid dynasty.

Tahmasb is ready...

...to give concessions to end the war.

What war, Ahmed pasha?

This campaign was organized...

...against my brother, not Tahmasb.

How is His Majesty?

Does he say anything?

He had troublesome days.

But he's much better and healthy now.

Personally, I told him how you care about the...

...affairs of the state, he is very pleased with it.

He knows about the rebellion in Anatolia...

...for the death of Prince Mustafa, right?

The orders were sent to the provincial administrators.

Beys are taking care of it.

Not all the revolts are significant.

But the rebellion in Rumelia may be a threat to us.

In Selanica, an insurgent named...

...Duzmece Mustafa gathers people to fight.

They say that he has about 5,000 soldiers with him.

- Duzmece Mustafa? - That fool of a crook.

They say it was a Jannissary...

...who was executed, not the Prince.

And he began to gather the fools who believe him.

What should we do? What is your advice?

You must put out the fire before it spreads.

I will investigate...

...and inform you.

Good.

You can leave.

Be careful my prince.

Mind what you say, I beg you.

Ahmet Pasha was a friend of Prince Mustafa...

...but it is hard to say whose side he is on now.

Your words may be heard by His Majesty, God forbid.

We don't know who's our friend or foe in these times.

Mother.

You are thinking about Mihrunnisa's death, right?

Is Mahidevran...

...still in the palace?

After this incident, she was taken to the infirmary.

She stayed there for a while.

It seems to me that she has lost her mine.

Sultana Fatma is taking care of her.

She moved her to her room.

Now she's resting there.

She should have left long ago.

But she stayed here to unnerve me.

Forget her mother! Forget it.

Look into the future.

There's a great danger ahead.

Ahmet Pasha arrived.

Together with Sultana Fatma, he'll threaten us.

They will not give us peace.

Rustem Pasha must immediately be...

...restored to his previous position.

Mihrimah.

Ahmet Pasha is an excellent politician.

His marriage with Sultana Fatma won't change this fact.

Until he harms us, I do not want to fight him.

And what will happen with Rustem Pasha?

We'll wait Mihrimah.

I do not want an unnecessary fight.

I've had so many conflicts in my life...

I'm exhausted.

You are the witness to it.

Your Highness.

Tell Prince Bayezid and Sultana Fatma that I arrived.

As you you command.

Your Highness!

What are you doing?

Why did you come here?

I guess you don't know.

The prince invited me.

He said he wants me by his side.

I set off as soon as I received the letter.

Come in.

Your Highness.

I'll come soon Canfeda.

Are the kids are awake?

They're still sleeping.

Sultana Huricihan arrived.

I wanted to inform you.

Finally.

Keep an eye on her.

You are very happy.

Canfeda just arrived.

Sultana Huricihan came.

All hell will break loose.

I don't want to be in Bayezid's place.

Good morning.

I missed the mornings that I wake up at your side.

And I missed the nights that I sleep next to you.

For the first time in a long time I woke up happy.

I was pleased to hear that His Majesty...

...had appointed you the Grandvizier.

But I was also sad.

You know, the people are already cursing...

...you for being Suleyman's son in law.

Do not worry, Your Highness.

I took precautions.

Before accepting the duty, I got...

...His Majesty's protection.

You really are brave as they say.

But do not believe it either.

Be careful.

A man who killed his son...

...won't show any mercy to you.

These times, the worthy do not win.

Rustem will not let this go.

He will want his old position back.

You're right.

He fell now, he must not get up again.

We must get rid of him once an for all.

Each breath he takes is...

...an insult to Mustafa's loved ones.

I see you are planning something.

In fact, everything is connected to each other.

Currently, Bayezid is the main contender for the throne.

He's also Hurrem's real favorite.

If God forbid, if something happens to His Majesty..

Bayezid will take the throne.

Thus the rule of Hurrem and Bayezid will begin.

Rustem will take his place with them.

However Selim still keeps a distance to everyone.

Don't believe that he's standing with Hurrem. It's a lie.

If we can influence him...

...if we take sides with Selim.

Then we can really hurt Hurrem.

Come in.

Prince, Sultana Huricihan has arrived.

Let her in.

Bayezid.

Why did you come Huricihan?

Especially since I told you to stay in Kutahya.

What are you talking about, Bayezid?

You wrote a letter calling me here...

...and now you're scolding me.

What letter do you speak about?

You have no right to treat me like this.

I didn't come here to listen to this!

I did not write this letter.

It's not my letter!

Huricihan?

Your Highness.

What are you doing here?

Why did you come?

Stop mother.

It's not her fault.

Someone set us up.

Bayezid must be dumbfounded when he saw Huricihan.

We'll find out soon.

Prince, Your Highness.

Grandvizier Ahmet Pasha is asking for an audience.

What is it about?

I do not know prince.

I can call him here if you'd like.

No. Let him wait, I'll come.

Hope nothing's wrong.

What would Ahmed pasha do with you?

We were together during the campaign.

He was close to me.

And I to him.

As I prefer him over Rustem pasha as Grandvizier.

I agree.

It's good to keep close to the new Grandvizier.

Maybe he wants to make an alliance with you.

It is possible.

It's obvious he also doesn't like Rustem pasha.

The Austrian ambassador...

...Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq.

The great ruler of the Turks.

I salute Sultan Suleyman Khan, His Highness.

I've come with our Emperor...

...Ferdinand's wish for peace.

We will be honored if you accept our gifts.

What does your King Ferdinand want...

...from our mighty ruler's generous heart?

If the Sultan can give back...

...Transylvania to our Emperor.

Every year, we'll present a tribute to...

...your holy throne.

Some years ago, your troops entered Transylvania.

But they retreated as they...

...had too many casualties.

Can't get it by fighting, now you're trying gifts?

First, you must give back Hungarian...

...lands you occupy to Jan Zapolyi.

What did the king write in his letter?

Our Emperor wants a peace that will last...

...for decades.

For this, he wants the raider lords who...

...attack Austrian lands to be stopped.

Good, good.

Unless the Austrian King will return...

...Hungarian lands rightfully owned by Zapolyi.

There will be no peace for Austria.

But I'm giving them a 6 months of truce...

...so they learn a lesson.

During these six months, my raiders...

...will not attack Austrian lands.

Our Sultan is very generous today.

My Prince.

Welcome, Pasha.

It's been a long and tough campaign.

It was, my prince.

Even if the talks with the Persians are continuing...

...campaign is practically over.

His Majesty stayed in Amasya.

He'll arrive soon.

Good.

You gave us strength with your presence.

Both I and His Majesty are pleased with your service.

Finally someone capable...

...holds the position of Grandvizier.

You honor me, prince.

I have a feeling we'll get along good.

I hope I'm not mistaken.

Of course not.

Recent events were a lesson to us all.

As a statesman, I see the Empire's future..

..in a well raised prince who is not...

...rebellious and loyal to His Majesty.

I am glad that you think that way.

But that's not so easy.

Prince Bayezid is a tough opponent.

You must use every opportunity to get ahead.

What opportunity do you mean, Pasha?

In Rumeila, a rebellion began by a fake Mustafa.

A fool appeared saying he's Prince Mustafa...

...and that he's not dead.

They're getting stronger.

His Majesty has ordered the rebellion to be quelled.

As Royal Regent, this duty will...

...be given to Prince Bayezid.

What are you trying to say?

I'm saying, this rebellion might...

...be a test for Prince Bayezid.

As you know, Prince Bayezid is sensitive about this.

He acts with his feelings.

Bayezid is impulsive.

He acts without thinking.

But I think about everything.

Then I act.

The most important quality a prince should have.

What is going on?

What brought you here?

I was surprised to hear you arrived.

You haven't sent any letters lately too.

I've come to give my condolences.

Aren't you happy to see me?

Of course I am.

I missed you a lot.

I'm glad to see you here.

We've got so much to talk about.

Of course.

But you must excuse me now, Your Highness.

I have come a long way, I need to rest.

I wanted to visit Sultana Mahidevran...

...before it's too late.

Sure, as you wish.

Your Highness.

Huricihan is up to something.

I'm telling you.

If Huricihan will keep her mouth shut...

...no one will suspect.

She'll say she's come to visit Sultana Fatma.

If even one person talks about it...

...we won't be able to stop it.

Everyone will know that you got married.

The news will reach His Majesty.

For this reason, we have to be silent.

Huricihan should return to...

...Kutahya as soon as possible.

How will you silence the one who wrote the letter?

Only Rustem and Mihrimah knew.

I wonder if they talked about it in...

...the open and someone heard it.

Can this be Mentor Mustafa's doing?

Not possible. He wouldn't dare.

Moreover, he warned me about...

...Hurichan's stay in Kutahya.

I wrote a letter to Kutahya over his advice.

And it seems, someone stole that letter.

Selim.

Impossibl--

Impossible!

If he found out, he would come directly to me.

Do not be so sure mother.

I know what Selim's like.

I can expect anything from him.

You must trust Selim.

Stop this hostility towards your brother!

Things should have blown up by now.

But what I've said come to pass.

Sultana Hurrem wants to cover it up.

This is impossible now, Nurbanu.

I'm sure they're talking about what to do next now.

Maybe we need to hurry.

Should we inform his Majesty with a letter?

No Nurbanu.

His Majesty can not know this from me.

And I'm not sure I should face Bayezid this way.

You're wrong Selim. There's no time to lose.

It's your turn now.

His Majesty killed one of sons before your eyes.

The other died out of sorrow.

Mihrunnisa was right by what she did.

God forbid, if I lost you and Murad...

...I won't hesitate to do the same.

Fahriye.

Keep an eye on Huricihan.

You'll prevent her if she tries to do something wrong.

As you wish, Your Highness.

Hurrem!

It's not over yet, Hurrem!

It's not over.

I have cursed you such a way...

...God has killed one of your sons again.

You'll burn in hell!

Hell is your place.

- Your place is hell! - Guards, help!

You'll burn in hell!

You'll burn in hell!

Guards!

You will burn in hell.

Your Highness!

You'll burn in hell.

Your Highness, stop it!

You have two sons!

I pray to God that they fight each other!

So they'll be punished by His Majesty's wrath!

Can you hear me?

May God give you a thousand times...

...worse grief than me!

Do you hear me, Hurrem!

Sultan Suleyman, whom you're in love...

...is a murderer!

A man who killed his own child!

He won't show mercy to your children too!

Do you hear me?

You're actually happy about this, aren't you?

Of course not, Your Grace.

Never.

You must have misunderstood me.

Rustem Pasha, the Grand Vizier is waiting for you.

What's going on, pasha?

You wanted to see me.

You're talking to a Grandvizier.

If you show disrespect...

...you'll pay a heavy price for it.

I see the pasha thinks I'm an enemy.

You have enough enemies.

You should not add me to them.

Now pack your things...

...and leave the palace!

Do you hear what you're saying pasha?

How dare you!

Are you disobeying my orders?

Of course not.

I would not dare.

However, both the Regent and...

...Sultana Hurrem want me to stay here.

What matters is what His Majesty wants.

Before he's back, you won't have any duties...

...and you'll stay away from the palace.

Now, either you'll go willingly..

Or I'm going to have to order my men.

The position you are occupying belongs to me.

Sooner or later, I'll be sitting there again.

And my first command will be to execute you.

Do not bite more than you can chew, pasha.

Before you realize what happened...

...I'll take your head off right now!

Now get out of my sight.

I don't want to see you again.

Your Highness.

I really wanted you to stay Mahidevran.

But it won't be appropriate after the last incident.

It will be best for you if you stay away.

You're right, Your Highness.

I should be in Bursa.

With my son and grandson.

Take care of Sultana Nergishah.

She's the only thing left from...

...our late Prince Mustafa.

She'll always support you.

It's for the shrine of our prince.

Thank you, Your Highness.

My curse will not let go of Hurrem, I know.

You should do everything you can to stop her.

Gulfem.

Godspeed, Your Highness.

Everyone talks about the curse she's made.

I shiver to think about it.

So don't think about it.

I never recieved any blessings from...

...Mahidevran since I arrived anyways.

There she goes.

And it's impossible for her to return again.

Mother.

Have you thought about what will happen to Rustem?

Later, Mihrimah.

Your Highness.

You haven't written to His Majesty...

...for long, asking how he's doing?

Neither do I have the strength to write...

...nor His Majesty has the will to reply.

By executing his son, he's put himself in fire.

He's put out his own heart and put it on the table.

Cihangir withered away before his eyes...

...vanished.

Nothing will be the same as before.

Neither me...

...nor he.

Your Highness, love will overcome everything.

It's been that way for all these years.

Prince, Rustem Pasha is waiting for an audience.

Let him in.

Prince.

I just saw Grand Vizier Ahmet Pasha.

He ordered me to leave the palace immediately.

I know Rustem pasha.

Will you allow it, Prince?

The moment I leave the palace...

...the scum will attack me.

This is His Majesty's will.

It seems he's still angry at you.

Given the circumstances...

...don't attract any more attention.

Don't worry, I'll give guards with you.

All measures will be taken for your security.

Tell Sergeant Huseyin to come to the location.

They were married in secret.

They are married for years.

Such recklessness. I heard it from the girls.

I heard it from them too.

What are you talking about?

Nothing, Your Highness.

Tell me!

We were just chatting, Your Highness.

If she married Prince Bayezid, she must be brave.

May God protect them from His majesty's wrath.

Well done, Canfeda. You did a great job.

I wonder how they will cover it up now.

See that Huricihan?

Going behind our backs all this time.

They'll feel Hurrem Sultana's wrath now.

Impressive that they managed...

...to hide it for so long.

It must be Bayezid's decision.

They must be afraid that they'll...

...get in big trouble.

But who heard about this and exposed it?

I didn't want this to happen Rustem.

Mother can't do anything also.

No one can defy His Majesty's orders.

Surely, you're right Mihrimah.

Come in.

Your Highness.

Preparations are done.

We're headed towards the mansion at Beykoz.

I've brought my personal guard too.

In addition, the guards Prince Bayezid...

...allocated are here too.

Thank you, Sinan.

Your presence gives me strength.

I'll wait outside.

Your Highness.

Hurrem Sultana can't think...

...straight anymore, Mihrimah.

It's up to us now.

Don't forget.

If I don't become the Grandvizier again...

...it's impossible for Prince Bayezid to take the throne.

Do not trust Sokollu either.

He's already under Ahmed Pasha's wings.

Did they bring Huricihan?

They will do anything to undermine Prince Bayezid.

Do not be sad.

As long as I live...

...no one will dare to hurt you.

Why did you hide your wedding with Bayezid?

Why did I found out about this...

...from the concubines?

So everyone knows.

Huricihan.

Bayezid wanted it, Your Highness!

And he was right!

I had to agree to protect him.

Bayezid is everything to me.

I can give my life for him, if need be.

I won't hesitate a moment.

Don't you care about Hurrem's wrath too?

Sultana Hurrem knows everything.

And for many years.

Just like me, she kept quiet...

...for the good of the prince.

Come in.

Your Highness, I learned who exposed the marriage.

Canfeda Hatun.

Sultana Nurbanu's servant.

Your Highness, excuse me.

Nurbanu Hatun!

Come here now.

Something happened, Your Highness?

Who do you think you are?

How dare you gossip about me?

Know your place!

My name is Nurbanu.

Sultana Nurbanu.

The favorite of Prince Selim.

Mother of four of his children.

You can not talk me like this!

Know your place!

Even if you had fourteen children, it does not matter!

You're a slave!

And that will never change!

Now, explain immediately!

I do not know what you're...

...talking about, Your Highness.

I did not gossip about anyone...

...and I won't.

If you're talking about the rumors about you...

...I heard it too.

Honestly, it's so courageous.

I hope His Majesty does not hear about this.

You insolent!

Who do you think you are...

...to talk about me that way?

Huricihan.

It's enough!

Your Highness.

Get back to your chambers.

Huricihan.

And you get back to your duties.

Are you alright?

Don't mind her.

I know you have nothing to do with this.

How could you have?

She's unnerved.

She's asking for trouble.

Get back to your room.

She'll pay for that slap.

I'll show her!

Here is your room.

If you need anything...

...the guards will be behind the door.

Look at us.

Atmaca!

I'll tear out your heart myself!

You have nowhere to run now, Rustem Pasha!

Your prince is gone now, what will you do?

Go!

Out! Out!

Rustem.

Your brother!

Leave my brother!

Drop the swords!

Rustem.

Drop it.

Get out of the way!

Step aside.

Move!

Get out of the way.

Atmaca.

Lower your swords.

Lower them.

Your brother sold you out once, Sinan pasha.

You chose to trust that snake anyway.

You protected him,

You made a mistake.

Tell them to drop their swords.

Tell them.

Brother!

Drop your swords.

Drop them!

Selim!

I knew it! I knew you did it!

First you stole my letter...

...then you sent a fake to Kutahya.

Then you exposed it to everyone!

What are you saying?

Do not deny it.

If you're talking about your wedding with...

...Huricihan, then yes, I heard about it.

You made a terrible mistake!

But there's no point in accusing me.

I'm not your only enemy.

You're lying!

Bayezid!

Give me my brother.

Give him to me.

Come on.

Look carefully, Rustem Pasha.

This death is your work too!

Don't!

Brother.

Don't!

It was Selim who spread the rumors...

...just as I've guessed, mother.

I told you so.

Your brother made a mistake.

He is well aware of this.

But how could you expose this mistake...

...to everyone?

He's not your enemy.

So you knew everything about everything...

...and hid it, right?

Prince Mustafa made the same mistake.

You saw how it ended.

Don't you understand why I did this?

What does it matter now?

The truth is clear.

Bayezid made a mistake.

And you're involved in that mistake.

His Majesty will hear about this.

No he won't. He never will!

I'll silence everyone.

You'll be silent too, you'll take an oath!

Don't waste your breath, mother.

Instead of facing me like a man...

...he won't stop scheming like a woman.

He never did!

Bayezid! Bayezid!

No!

This is it Selim!

Gather your harem and leave this palace!

I don't want you here.

Bayezid.

He'll leave, mother!

That's an order!

Selim.

Selim!

Selim wait!

Relax.

We'll figure out everything.

You promised me, mother.

You said I'd never walk alone.

Will you keep your promise?

Selim.

Please, this is not the time for such matters.

No mother, this is the time!

Answer me, will you keep your word?

When I made that promise...

...I fought against Mustafa.

Now you're facing your brother.

He's my son too.

As long as I live, you won't...

...fight or harm each other.

I won't allow it.

This--

I got my answer. It's enough.

Save your breath.

Open the door!

My prince.

You implied to give me an offer, pasha.

I accept it.

The rebellion in Rumelia...

...must be Bayezid's toughest challenge.
