Mother.

Did you talk to Bayezid?

You did the right thing.

Your Highness, are you alright?

What did you discuss with Gazanfer?

What was so important?

Not now, Canfeda. Later!

Huricihan?

What happened?

The time has come for you to return to your provinces.

Begin preparations for your return.

As you wish, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, according to your decree, the...

...matter of Egypt's tribute has been resolved.

The excess amount will not be collected the next couple of year.

Thus the injustice towards the people has been abolished.

Good.

God has entrusted us to protect the people.

If we can't protect them, how will...

...we answer to God.

A messenger was sent to Bursa.

Your command regarding Sultana...

...Mahidevran will be delivered soon.

Good.

Forgive my curiosity, Your Majesty.

What did you command regarding the Sultana?

Sultana Mahidevran used the fortune I...

...gave her to support the rebels financially.

We'll take back everything from her.

She won't get a dime from the treasury again.

How do we know this is true?

Maybe the ones who slandered me wanted her to take the blame.

We have clear evidence, prince.

Just like Ahmet Pasha, she actively supported the rebels.

Your Majesty.

-Speak. -Sultana Huricihan.

She collapsed at the harem, she was taken to the infirmary.

What's wrong with her?

I don't know exactly but her condition is serious.

What happened, Nurbanu?

Why are you so nervous?

I'm not nervous, Your Highness.

When I saw Huricihan collapsing, I got worried.

Make way! Prince Bayezid, His Highness!

Mother.

Where is Huricihan? What happened to her?

Do not worry, son, physicians are with her...

...they do everything in their power.

But what happened?

We don't know either.

She just collapsed in the middle of the harem.

There was blood coming out of her head.

Most likely, she had hit her head somewhere.

Open the door.

What's wrong with her?

She suffered a massive head injury, Prince.

Will she recover?

I can not say anything certain now.

We have to pray. God is merciful.

How could this happen?

Where did she fall from?

I do not know how it could have...

...happened, prince, but this is no accident.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, I can tell something happened.

Please, do not hide it, maybe I can help!

It's all because of Gazanfer!

What did he do to you?

He confessed his love to me.

I was about to scold him but I noticed Sultana Huricihan.

She was following me, she saw us!

I ran after her, she threatened me.

She was going to slander me!

She was going to say that we...

...had an affair with Gazanfer.

God, God... I'm in such a trouble now.

Your Highness, Prince Selim is coming.

Selim.

How is Sultana Huricihan?

She is unconscious.

But it's revealed that she had a struggle with someone.

How?

She had traces on her body, traces of fighting.

I hope she comes to her senses...

...so this matter can be resolved.

Let's not deal with this too.

You should give your respects to Prince Bayezid.

You should visit him.

His Majesty will like it too.

On top of all our problems, now this.

Who do you think might have done it?

Do you have a guess?

I do not know.

I can't accuse anyone.

Just like you ruined her parents' lives...

...you didn't show mercy to her either.

You wanted to kill her, without blinking an eye, didn't you?

Your Highness, watch your words!

You're talking nonsense--

Mihrimah!

Your Highness, even if a stone...

...trips you, you'd think it was me.

As you think I'm responsible for...

...every evil in this world.

Although, they were all victims to their ambition.

They're miserable now.

But have no doubt, this is also your fate.

You've lost all control Hurrem.

You're playing with fire.

You still don't understand, do you?

I am...

...the fire itself!

Question everyone!

Someone must have seen something!

Fahriye Hatun.

This is unheard of.

Tell me if something's going on.

It has nothing to do with us.

The Sultana was surprised too.

Then who would dare do this?

Sumbul Agha.

May a rock as big as Sumbul fall on your head!

What's this?

I found it just up there.

Show where you found it!

It was there.

There's blood here too.

Fahriye Hatun.

We must immediately inform Prince Bayezid.

Go on.

I lost one earring, Canfeda.

I probably dropped it as I struggled with Huricihan.

You must find it for me.

Canfeda, you have to do this for me.

Where is it, Your Highness?

My prince.

My prince.

Guards have found this.

According to Fahriye Hatun...

...it belongs to Sultana Huricihan.

Did you check everywhere?

Did you find anything else?

We are searching, my prince.

I wanted to inform you at once.

Fahriye Hatun.

What are you doing here?

I was in the laundry, I had some errands.

I was just going back to Sultana Nurbanu.

Lay low these days, you'll get in trouble.

My prince.

You will investigate everyone...

...who passed here today, Fahriye.

As you wish.

The guards have already begun.

I do not understand why Huricihan was here.

Why did she come here?

Perhaps she was returning from the gardens...

...or on her way there.

I don't know why would...

...she go there at this time.

Mom?

What happened to you?

You look so sad.

I'm fine, my lion.

There's nothing to worry about.

There was an unpleasant situation in the harem...

...my mind is there.

Your Highness.

What's up, Canfeda? Did you find it?

Unfortunately, I did not make it.

Prince Bayezid found the other earring.

What are you saying, Canfeda?

If they realize the truth, they'll kill me!

Unfortunately, her condition is not improving.

The life of the sultana hangs by a thread.

Life on one side, death on the other.

Physicians are doing everything they can.

I hope she'll win this battle and make us happy.

Who would dare to do this, Hurrem?

The investigation continues, Your Majesty.

Whoever it is, I'll punish him personally.

Look at her, the poor thing.

Your Majesty. Mother.

This is Huricihan's.

I found it on the way to the gardens.

This earring was there too.

Is it hers too?

No, mother.

The owner of this ring is the one...

...who did this to Huricihan.

Sumbul!

Investigate immediately.

Look under every stone and bring...

...me this traitor who did this to my niece.

As you command, Your Majesty.

Bayezid.

Physicians are doing everything in their power.

We will pray and with God's will she will recover.

I hope so, Your Majesty.

May she get well soon.

Put some daffodils too, Yusuf.

My late father loved them.

Take some tulips too.

They'll all be planted at the garden...

...near my father's shrine.

Do not worry, Your Highness.

You'll have what you wished for.

Who are they, Yusuf?

I'll find out now, Your Highness.

Gents!

What is up, gents?

Who are you? Why did you come here?

I'm Sergeant Numan.

I come from the capital with His Majesty's orders.

I need to see Sultana Mahidevran.

Your Highness, you did not eat anything again.

If you keep this up, you'll get sick.

This is enough.

Tell them to put it away.

Sultana Mother.

A sergeant from the capital arrived.

He wants to see you.

He says he has important news.

Let him in.

Sultana Mahidevran, Your Highness.

I am the personal messenger of Grand Vizier Rustem Pasha.

Do not utter that filth's name in my palace!

Wasn't that demon dismissed?

Why do you still call him the Grandvizier?

Kara Ahmet Pasha was found guilty...

...for corruption and was executed, Your Highness.

His Majesty appointed Rustem Pasha again.

He dismissed him out of fear...

...from his soldiers anyways.

So he appointed him...

...again, at first chance he got?

I can't know these things, Your Highness.

I'm just here to deliver His Majesty's commands.

It was not enough for him to kill my son and grandson...

...now he wants to kill me too?

It was determined you aided the rebels...

...around Edirne, Your Highness.

For this reason, except for this palace, all...

...your wealth is transferred to the treasury.

In addition, your monthly allowance...

...from the treasury is cut.

You won't get a single dime from the palace again.

How is this possible?

Your Highness.

Go, tell your Sultan...

Damn his money!

His palace!

We didn't see any good from him...

...we don't expect any!

Didn't he kill my son because of this?

For wealth and power.

Didn't he kill my Mustafa for just a bit of land?

Now he can continue ruling, the fool!

He thinks he will always rule the world.

May every bite he eats turn into poison!

Now go and tell him!

If you don't tell him, I will haunt you...

...until judgment day!

Now get out of my sight!

Forgive me, Your Highness...

...but there is one more thing.

His Majesty has wed Sultana Nergissah...

..to Ahmed Pasha, Lord of Anatolia.

The Sultana must go to Ankara at once.

No!

No!

Your Highness, I do not want to get married!

Get out of here.

I said get out!

Go to hell!

Yusuf get him out of here!

Your Highness, calm down.

Oh God Almighty.

Show me if there's any justice in this world.

Torment the ones who...

...did this to my son and grandchildren in hell!

May they never be happy again.

Your Highness, what should we do now?

I do not know, Canfeda.

If I knew, I'd say.

What's happening?

Forgive me, Your Highness but...

...we must conduct a search.

You are in a sultana's room!

Who do you think you are?

By what right you're doing this?

It's His Majesty's order, Your Highness.

So, do not try to stop us.

Begin!

What is the search for?

About Sultana Huricihan?

What's going on, Your Highness?

Do you hide something from us?

I have nothing to hide!

I'm innocent, nothing I can't answer for.

I hope that's true.

Look everywhere.

Search every hole!

As you can see.

What you're looking for is not here.

I have no business with Sultana Huricihan.

I still remember like yesterday...

...when Sultana Huricihan slapped you.

How do we know you're not holding a grudge?

Who are you to accuse me?

Everyone knows Sultana Huricihan's real enemy.

You should know best, Fahriye Hatun.

So Sultana Hurrem did it?

Is that what you mean?

I did not say anything like that.

Now...

If you are finished, get out my room at once!

They're after the ring, Canfeda.

It's clear they're searching for it.

Where is it, Your Highness?

We have to get rid of it immediately.

It's in Selim's room.

I threw it somewhere out of panic.

You hid it in a good place.

Thank God.

They can never search the prince's room.

But we still need to destroy it...

...before anyone finds it.

My God, where is it?!

They took it, it's not here!

Are you sure you put it there?

Maybe you threw it someplace else?

God, what am I going to do?

Who knows who took it!

We'll search everywhere, Canfeda.

How is she?

Same.

Nothing changed.

You are exhausted.

Go to your room.

Have some sleep.

Rest.

People are watching her.

Mother, who did it?

You're not hiding something from me, right?

Bayezid.

You and I are on the same path now.

I promised I would protect you and everyone you love.

I promised.

As long as I live...

..no can hurt you anymore.

I won't allow it.

What are you thinking about?

If Huricihan dies, the case will not be closed.

They won't let this go.

They even searched my room.

As if I was the perpetrator.

I can't tell how embarrassed I was.

Nurbanu.

Tell me the truth.

You have nothing to do with this, right?

How can you doubt me Selim?

Of course not.

But if they can't find a culprit...

...they'll look for a scapegoat.

What if I become the scapegoat?

Everyone knows that Huricihan...

...and I don't like each other.

Do not worry.

No one can harm you while you're with me.

I will not allow it.

I should check on the children.

They are waiting for me.

You'll go later.

I will come later.

I sent word.

The children are waiting for me.

Nurbanu?

Nurbanu, what are these wounds?

I did not notice.

I probably got it after running...

...around with the children.

What have you done?!

Selim. I had no choice, she attacked me.

She did not leave me a choice.

I had to defend myself.

Why would she attack you?

You must have done something to provoke her.

It's because she's a sultana, right?

She can never do anything wrong.

What a shame.

You value her much more than me.

Nurbanu, do not drive me crazy.

You know exactly what I mean!

Did Huricihan attack you unprovoked?

Something must have happened.

If you want to know, then I'll tell you.

Sultana Huricihan was jealous of me!

She's mad jealous because she can't...

...give a prince to Bayezid.

When I implied this, she attacked me suddenly.

I barely saved my life!

If I did not resist, it would have been me...

...instead of her!

Do you know what trouble you got us in?

If Huricihan wakes up and tells everything...

...I don't know what we'll do.

You'll ruin me too.

-Selim, I... -Don't, Nurbanu.

Do not say anything.

Go back to you room.

-Selim, I-- -Get out Nurbanu!

Huricihan?

My Sultana.

I am here, sultana.

I'm here.

Selim learned about everything.

He used such harsh words to me.

God, help me.

I need a miracle.

Your Highness.

Sultana Hurrem wants to see you.

What happened?

What does she want?

I don't know that.

But she orders you to come at once.

Woman.

You were also called.

Come on, after you.

Who hurt you?

Who did this?

Huricihan.

Do not leave me.

Please do not leave me.

You're the only one left.

Don't leave me.

Please, do not leave!

Huricihan?

Do something! Do something, quick!

My condolences, Prince.

Sultana has passed away.

Get out.

Come in.

Come closer.

I chose you myself, to watch over my prince.

I even gave you your name.

I called you Nurbanu.

It was a blessing.

But what did you do?

You've crossed the line.

And by a lot..

If this is about Sultana Fatma...

...I have never betrayed you.

As you well know, I can't defy...

...a dynasty member.

You defied me, woman!

You dare to do this...

...and you talk about Sultana Fatma?

Now...

About the matter at hand.

One of these earrings was found...

...at the place Huricihan was attacked.

The other one...

...unfortunately...

..in Selim's room.

You never thought I would look there, right?

You fool!

Who do you think you are?!

No one can even breathe without my...

...permission in this palace!

Don't you know this?

Your Highness.

It was an accident, I swear it was!!

I'm innocent!

I swear to God, I'll never disobey you again.

I'll do everything you ask!

Please, forgive me.

Do not expose me.

For my children, for your grandchildren.

For Prince Selim!

You should have thought about it before!

If you even slap a sultana, you'll lose your head.

There's no forgiveness for this!

You'll pay for this with your life!

You too woman! You too!

Your Highness, I swear I'm innocent in this!

Sumbul.

Get them out of here...

...and put them in the dungeon.

As you command, Your Highness.

Come on, get up!

Sultana, you will protect me...

...and this matter is to remain between us.

You're still talking.

If you expose me...

...I'll tell them everything you did!

Years ago, you ordered me to kill a sultana.

And I did it.

You still remember Sultana Nazenin, don't you?

You must remember that poor girl...

...whom I killed by your order.

Are you threatening me?

It's not my wish, Your Highness.

But you leave me no choice.

It's your word against the...

...great Sultana Hurrem, you fool!

Not my word.

But the letter Sultana Hurrem wrote herself!

I'm talking about the letter in which...

...you clearly gave me orders.

That's not all.

I have dozens of letters you wrote!

When they ask me why I attacked Huricihan...

...I'll tell them everything.

I'll even tell them you ordered me to do this too.

Everyone knows you hated her!

Come in.

Your Highness.

Bad news.

Sultana Huricihan.

She has passed away.

My condolences.

Bayezid...

...where is he now?

In the infirmary, Your Highness.

He's in bad shape.

Go back to your room woman.

And do not leave without my knowledge.

Mother.

My condolences, brother.

May she rest in peace.

Amin.

Bayezid.

My condolences.

My condolences, prince.

Congratulations.

You got what you wanted.

Finally, you got rid of Huricihan.

Your Highness.

This is not a good time, please.

We'll find out who attacked Huricihan.

Even if everyone let this go...

...I will never stop chasing this.

Did Bayezid love Huricihan a lot?

If that was not the case...

...he wouldn't marry her despite His Majesty.

May God give us good fortune...

...even in love.

Your Majesty.

Ali has a saying: Life is only two days.

One, that is in our favor.

Which is smiling to us.

And the other is against us.

The one which is in sorrow.

When it's a good day don't be proud...

...when it's bad, do not protest.

If that is the case, Your Majesty...

...I began my life on the second one.

As sorrow has never left my life.

Everything comes from God, son.

Life and death both.

It's our duty to face it with patience and faith.

Death is the end of worldly life.

Death opens the gates to eternal life.

Mother, we'd like to see father.

Not now, my lion.

Go to your Mentor, you'll see him later.

Sultana Rana.

Fahriye Hatun.

I was going to come see you.

I want to give my condolences to Sultana Hurrem.

First, you'll explain your deeds!

What have I done wrong?

You killed Sultana Huricihan!

What are you taking about, Fahriye Hatun?

I swear it's not me!

If so...

...why was this earring in your room?

What earring? It does not belong to me!

You'll answer to the prince.

Guards, lock her to her chambers!

What? Let me go!

What are you doing! Let me go!

Your Highness!, Sultana Hurrem, I did not do it!

We have not hunted together for so long.

Let's go together to hunt in Edirne.

That's a great idea, Your Majesty.

Bayezid is depressed here.

Fresh forest air will do him good.

Your Majesty.

With your permission...

...I would like to return to my province.

You can go hunting with Selim if you want.

I don't want to disturb anyone with my presence.

Your Majesty.

Sumbul Agha is here.

Let him in.

Your Majesty.

Speak Sumbul.

Your Majesty, finally...

...we've gained information about...

...Sultana Huricihan's murder.

Who is this traitor?!

Unfortunately, it turned out the prince's favorite...

...Rana Hatun was behind it.

What are you saying, Sumbul Agha?

Rana is my favorite, the mother of my princes.

How can you accuse her? Do you have evidence?

The ring we were looking for was in her belongings.

She's in her chambers now.

They're waiting for you to question her.

Come in.

Your Highness.

Speak.

Sultana Rana.

She was found dead in her chamber.

Everyone thinks she killed Sultana Huricihan.

We're saved.

We might be saved from this trouble, Canfeda.

But a bigger trouble awaits us.

Sultana Hurrem will never forget this.

I'm sure I'll end up like that poor girl...

...at first chance she gets.

God help us.

Your Highness, I don't want to go to Ankara.

I will not marry.

Please, do not send me away.

Maybe this will be better, dear.

You'll continue to suffer here with me.

Sorrow will never leave you.

No.

I'm happy with you here.

Besides, the graves of my...

...father and brother are here.

I won't leave them.

Nergissah.

My beautiful granddaughter,

You're still so young.

I don't want you to wither away like me...

...in the spring of your life.

My only wish from God is for you to find peace in family.

For you to be happy with your husband and kids.

Maybe you will have a son.

You can name him Mustafa.

He will certainly be a brave warrior like your father.

Sultana is right.

Sooner or later you would be married.

What about you?

What will you do?

Especially now, when your allowance is cut.

You gave away all your wealth.

And I know how big of a debt...

...you have for my father's shrine.

Don't worry about me, my pretty girl.

I have no business with money anymore.

As long as I have a place to live...

...and a bit of food, that's enough.

Atmaca?

You?

As you can see, I'm still alive.

I'll tell you everything.

No, do not tell me.

I do not want to listen.

You've been alive all these years, and you...

...didn't come to see me or Sultana Mahidevran.

You didn't even send a message.

What can you tell me now?

Yusuf, calm down.

Calm down, he says.

How can I be calm?

You left us alone and defenseless.

Prince Mehmet was taken away.

Mihrunnisa Hatun killed herself.

We buried her too.

We suffered.

We suffered pains you can't imagine!

You were gone then, be gone now.

Get out of here!

Yusuf, let me explain--

You've missed your chance long ago, Atmaca.

Go away.

Wherever you stayed all these years...

...return there.

How does Bayezid feel?

Thank God, he's better.

Our prince is strong. He stands tall.

After the death of Mehmet and Cihangir...

...my heart is divided into three parts.

Selim.

Bayezid and Mihrimah.

All three are precious to me.

If a thorn pierces their finger...

...a dagger stabs my heart.

If one gets close to fire, my heart burns.

That snake Nurbanu.

Where's she?

She does not leave her room.

She must be scared witless.

I raised a viper for my son's bed.

She grew silently and I didn't even know.

What a pity,

I only noticed it until now.

She's the one who provokes Selim.

She'll set my princes against each other.

So what are we waiting for, Sultana?

Give the order, we'll crush the snake's head.

Do not make haste.

All in good time.

Dad?

It's your turn.

Come in.

Prince.

Leave me alone with your father.

Mom, we have not finished playing yet.

You'll finish later.

Do you think about handing me over?

I thought about it.

What you did is unacceptable.

However, I don't want to confront...

...my mother and my brother, any longer.

Is that the only reason?

So your love for me...

...didn't effect your decision?

Nurbanu, if I did not love you...

...I'd expose you in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't be silent.

You should know this.

I'm still mad at you.

And I don't know how...

...we'll overcome what happened.

I will make you forget everything.

Time will heal us both.

Can I sit down?

You're still thinking about Huricihan, right?

"We are nightingales in the garden of separation."

"If the wind would come to our garden...

...it'd turn into fire."

You don't how much I live and talk...

...with the dead lately.

It was difficult to carry...

...the loss of Mustafa, then Cihangir.

Now I have to carry Huricihan's pain also.

Isn't there way to leave them behind?

No.

And you know why?

Because they left the world too early.

They left so many things unfinished.

They left us lacking.

That's why...

...they'll always follow us.

You know what happened lately...

...what Prince Selim has tried to do.

If we did not intervene...

...Prince Bayezid would be harmed.

Or Prince Selim.

We can't leave it to chance any longer.

Rustem is right, mother.

We can no longer trust Selim.

We must take precautions.

I see that you have a solution.

Yes, Your Highness.

We'll send someone who's loyal to us to Manisa.

Someone who can tame Prince Selim...

...can save us from disaster.

I agree.

Who will we send there, have you thought about it?

Of course.

Guards!

Atmaca!

Didn't I tell you to leave?

Why are you still here?

Yusuf?

Go with Nergissah and Fidan...

...to plant the flowers you brought.

Go now.

I was shocked when I learned from Yusuf...

...that you were alive and you came to Bursa.

It's been so many years...

...and we haven't received a word from you.

You must have an explanation.

I am removing you from the...

...province of Kutahya, Mentor Mustafa.

From now on you are no longer the...

...mentor of prince of Bayezid.

Forgive me, Your Grace, Your Highness.

Have I made a mistake unknowingly?

Forgive me if I wronged you.

Relax, do not be upset.

I'm dismissing you from Kutahya...

...as you'll go to Manisa.

From now on, you will become...

...the mentor of Prince Selim.

I hope that Prince Bayezid is not dissatisfied with me?

We might be at odds time to time...

...but I always worked for his future.

It will continue as same, Mentor Mustafa.

Your duty is not changing.

Prince Selim is on the wrong path...

...and he undermines his brother.

That's why you'll go.

To stop him.

Do you understand your new task, Mentor Mustafa?

Your Highness, I can tell you...

...plan meticulously for the prince's future.

If this will be my duty...

...I won't hesitate and do my part.

Have no doubt.

Good.

Come in.

Prince Bayezid has come to the palace.

So Mustafa...

...entrusted Bayezid to you, is that it?

As you know...

...our prince loved his brother.

That is so.

But no matter what he's Hurrem's son, Atmaca.

I was thinking the same.

But when I got to know him better...

...all my doubts disappeared.

Prince Bayezid does not take...

...up after Sultana Hurrem.

Who does he take up after?

Sultan Suleyman?

If so, all the worse.

He's like our prince.

He's as strong and smart.

And he's as generous as our prince.

He sends you his respects.

In addition...

...he sent gold for the shrine of our prince.

I do not need it.

I don't need any alms!

Of course not, Your Highness, this is a gift.

He wanted to show...

...his love and respect for our late prince.

He must be ashamed what his father did.

He took away all my wealth.

He cut my allowance too.

I hear it from you now.

Then you must accept this gold.

Bring it back, Atmaca.

I have enough gold.

In the end, how long can I live?

What's going on, what is this sudden meeting?

My prince.

I've been with you for many years.

I know we don't get along that well.

In fact, I've got my share of your wrath many times.

However..

I did everything to prepare you for the throne.

Because I know...

...in the future you'll have the throne.

I'm really curious when you'll talk about the real matter.

I am sending Mentor Mustafa to Manisa...

...as the mentor of Prince Selim.

So he won't dare to go behind your back...

...like the rebels incident.

Good idea.

It's hard to guess what Selim might do.

He'll lie and deceit for his gain.

I'm thinking Selim is well behaved now...

...he won't act up.

Mentor Mustafa's presence in Manisa...

...is only a precaution.

With Mentor Mustafa, Prince Selim will know...

We're always breathing down his neck.

And our shadow is always over him.

Suleyman.

I'm coming back from Mihrimah's Palace...

...Bayezid was with us.

How is he feeling?

It'll take time to heal mentally.

But you know he's strong.

He'll be better.

When are my princes returning to their provinces?

In the coming days, God willing.

Good.

Suleyman.

Bayezid and Selim are precious to us.

They're our hope.

Both are smart, brave...

...but still inexperienced.

They might make mistakes but we can prevent them.

We must keep an eye on them.

We must show them full support and attention.

You're right.

Whenever they are unattended, I get bad news.

To prevent these bad news..

I thought it would be good to send Fahriye...

...to Manisa, and Lokman Agha to Kutahya.

Of course, if you agree.

Fahriye and Lokman know the palace etiquette well.

They will certainly manage to bring...

...order and peace to the Prince's harem.

You thought well Hurrem.

I ordered the kitchen to prepare quails.

I know how you like them.

We should go to Manisa.

It'll be good for both of us.

Come in.

Prince, Your Highness.

Speak, Fahriye.

The preparations are done.

You'll set off in two days.

Good.

I'm leaving with you too.

For from now on I will serve in your palace.

Why was this necessary?

That's what Sultana Hurrem ordered.

His Majesty is informed also.

You can ask him if you'd like.

Okay, you can leave.

Sultana Hurrem thinks I'm the enemy.

She put the harem's whip on us!

Don't exaggerate Nurbanu.

My mother must know something.

You should get along with Fahriye.

I don't want any disturbances.

You're leaving?

Yes.

Isn't that what you want?

Sultana Mahidevran told me what happened to you.

I still can't forgive you.

I wish I could have done more, Yusuf.

You'll be back, right?

You won't forget me here.

I'll be back.

Of course, I'll be back.

Until then, Sultana Mahidevran is in your hands.

Can't you stay a little longer then?

Come back soon, Dad.

You didn't accept the gold, Your Highness.

But our situation is not good.

How long can we hold out?

Mostly a year with the cash on us.

As you know...

...your household is quiet large.

Hundreds of people are serving you.

Send most of my household with Nergissah.

They should leave with her.

I thought about it too.

If we do this then the money will last for much longer.

You will go too, Fidan.

Protect my granddaughter.

No, Your Highness.

I'd rather die than leave.

I will stay with you until my last breath.

What will I do without you?

I have to do everything on my own now.

They won't make you scrub the...

...floor Sumbul, don't worry.

Oh I wish.

At least I'd be at peace...

...I wouldn't interfere with anything.

Do not forget what Sultana Hurrem have told you.

Open your eyes! Your duty is important.

Especially yours Fahriye. That Venetian woman will surely give you a headache!

Don't worry, I can take her on.

God praise, God praise.

We're all alone again.

The echoes of our grandchildren...

...are leaving the gardens.

Do you want me get the lunch ready?

Let's eat together, we'll talk.

It's been a long time since we were alone.

Not now, Hurrem. Leave me alone.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, what happened?

His Majesty has built a wall around him.

No matter what I do, I can't cross that wall.

Losing children is a great pain...

Despite the loss of his children...

...the real thing that gives him pain...

...is remorse.

Your Highness, don't leave...

...His Majesty alone with his grief.

You need to be with him.

You know, it's sorrow that destroys a man.

God forbid.

His Majesty is not destroyed so easily.

But of course I will stay with him.

We have no one but each other.

Who knows when we will see each other again.

I hope the unpleasant incidents between us...

...are a thing of the past now.

I don't want to say farewell on bad terms.

You should have thought of that before...

...backstabbed me Selim.

How can I forget how you planned to ruin me?

Are you so innocent Bayezid?

I've never betrayed anyone.

In that case, why did you send Mentor Mustafa?

Since you're so innocent, tell me..

This has nothing to do with me.

I'm sure that's true.

Ambition and vengeance blind you, Bayezid.

Who knows what you're after.

My princes.

Please end this arguement.

It's not appropriate while His Majesty watches.

You can't answer for it.

Why did that Venetian slut come?

We were happy while she's gone.

I was going to say the same.

She won't let us be now.

Make way! Sultana Nurbanu, Her Highness!

Girls! I brought presents from the capital.

Choose whatever you like.

Oh she's graced us.

Like giving alms to a beggar.

Dilsah Hatun!

What are you doing among the concubines?

Didn't I tell you you're not...

...allowed in the harem anymore?

You're a tailor's apprentice now.

Do not leave the tailor's room!

I have come to take the...

...measurements of the concubines.

I can measure you if you'd like.

Do not be insolent, woman!

You're talking to a sultana.

Fahriye Hatun--

Shut up, get back to your place!

Since my absence, the order is broken!

Get a grip!

Or I won't show mercy and kick you out!

From now on, Fahriye is in charge of the harem.

Help her so...

...she won't hurt you.

Fahriye, who does she think she is?

Sultana Hurrem?

Pack your things and get back to your duty.

I'm here from now on.

Whoever comes to this palace, I'll know first!

As you command.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Lokman Agha.

Where did these girls come from?

They came from the capital.

Sultana Hurrem sent them.

She personally picked them for Prince Bayezid.

What's your name?

Defne.

Defne.

Good.

Sultana Hurrem wants Prince Bayezid...

...to forget what's been through.

Take them to the bathhouse.

They should be washed and cleaned.

Right away. Move it girls.

I heard about Sultana Huricihan's death.

My condolences.

Thank you.

God takes all the people I love.

I'm becoming more and more alone.

This must be a test.

Anyway.

How is Sultana Mahidevran?

She's alright my prince but she...

...didn't accept the gold you've sent.

As I expected.

She can't hold out much longer.

Her allowance was cut, she has no income.

My brother entrusted her to me, Atmaca.

We must help her.

Do not cut ties with her.

Do not be worried. I'll keep an eye on her.

I'll be blunt, Mentor.

Things work differently here.

Don't you confuse me with Bayezid.

You'll pay for it, if you try to go behind my back.

Of course not my prince.

I have no bad intentions.

You have been entrusted to me by...

...Sultana Hurrem and His Majesty.

My only wish is to serve you faithfully.

I wanted to say this before we begin.

I don't want any problems later.

You may leave.

I do not like this man, we have to be careful.

Do not believe what he says.

At your first mistake, he'll inform...

...Sultana Hurrem and undermine you.

I know Nurbanu.

I'm aware of everything.

But I don't intend to cross with the Mentor...

...and make the capital nervous.

That's Bayezid's style..

Until he gets in my way...

...I don't intend to cross with him.

I hope he behaves.

Prince Bayezid has changed a lot.

He hasn't smiled once since he arrived.

It's not easy. He's lost his two brothers who were dear to him.

Afterwards, Sultana Huricihan, Rana Hatun.

His princes are left without a mother.

I hope I can remedy his wounds.

Amin, Amin.

May our prince smile again.

Amin.

Your Highness.

Thank God we have returned.

We have left problems in the capital behind us.

Stay there, Gazanfer.

Do not get any closer.

If you're alive, there's only one reason.

Prince Selim.

I do not want to disturb him for no reason.

However, from now on watch yourself.

At your smallest mistake...

...I'll destroy you without mercy.

Understand?

I understand, Your Highness.

I hope so.

Calm down girl.

God knows how excited...

...you'll get when you see the prince.

Come in.

My prince.

Sultana Hurrem sent a few concubines form the capital.

I picked the prettiest one.

She's waiting by the door.

If you'd like, she should come here.

Wait, girl, wait.

The prince said he doesn't want to see anyone.

Bring her back.

Do not be sad Defne, don't make haste.

You'll be always here.

Sooner or later.

Come with me.

Nurbanu will be furious when she hears about this.

He doesn't even let us...

...get close to the prince's room.

I can handle her, you relax.

If you say so...

Fahriye Hatun!

What do you think you're doing?

Do you want to get this...

...tailor's apprentice to my prince's room?

I thought it would help the prince relax and feel better.

Do you have a problem?

She is no longer the prince's favorite.

Even if she was, I don't allow it!

I know why you're here.

Watch yourself!

This is my palace!

I'm in charge here!

If you try to upset the order...

...you'll face the consequences.

I am here at the behest of Sultana Hurrem.

Do not confuse me with ordinary kalfas.

How can you prevent a concubine...

...from the prince's bed?

I don't have to answer to you.

Go now!

Take this woman with you!

As you wish.

However, this won't please the prince.

I told you Fahriye Hatun.

Even you can't handle her.

I can't defeat her alone maybe.

But if we act together, things will change.

What do you mean?

Nurbanu's time has passed.

Sultana Hurrem wants to get rid of her.

If she dies, your star will shine.

Surely, if you have the...

...courage to fight for your future.

You haven't left the palace for long.

This activity will be good for you, I hope.

Welcome Kudret Agha!

Thank you, Yakup!

Bring me coffee, will you?

And milk for my grandson.

Right away.

You're welcome as well, sir.

Thank you. Two coffees for us.

Right away.

God protect him, Effendi.

Amin. May he protect us all.

Children are precious but...

...compared to grandchildren, they're nothing.

Sweeter than honey.

God praise, what's his name?

Mustafa.

We loved the late Prince a lot.

We gave his name so his memory lives on.

I hope he becomes a valiant soldier like him.

Such a shame what happened to the prince.

It's that Russian witch Hurrem's games.

With lies and slanders, she made His Majesty do this.

Our prince would never betray his father.

You don't know anything, gents.

Do not listen to rumors.

The great Sultan Suleiman, who's famous for his justice...

...why would he kill his son, if he did not betray him?

There must be a reason.

My prince.

Someone wants to see you.

A reputable merchant.

At the same time, he has served the Empire well.

He wanted to see you and talk to you for long.

Who is it, Mentor?

Yassif Nasih.

He has been living in the capital for long.

I heard about him.

He has sent you many gifts.

Guards!

Persian carpet.

I hope you like it.

These fabrics are from India.

Brought especially for you.

Good.

What is this, Mentor?

Cypriot wine, prince.

As you know, it's difficult to find some.

They say that even one drop is as...

...precious as emeralds, delicious as nectar.

Why the need for these gifts Mentor?

If he wants to talk about state affairs...

...I'll give him an audience and...

...listen to what he has to say.

As you command prince.

I'll send word to him.

Enjoy!

If you'd like, I can get you coffee with milk.

It's my own intention.

It takes away the bitter taste of coffee.

Easier to drink.

No need, you just bring us water.

As you wish.

We're drinking this stuff but...

...no one knows if it's a sin or not.

Let's not sin unknowingly.

What sin?

This is coffee.

Coffee!!

It clears the mind, sharpen the senses.

What more do you want from God?

Stop there Yakup.

Don't forget, this makes you lose sleep.

There are so many of them now.

Coffee shops everywhere.

Anyone drinking this, has candles lit...

...until the morning.

They don't sleep all night.

As you know, night is the time for the devil.

You're sitting here all day, how does that work?

It's just excuses, excuses.

You look like an experienced man.

What do you think?

Is it a sin to drink this?

You know the taste.

It's true that it sharpens the mind.

But no matter what I say, it's in vain.

You should ask Sheik Al Islam Ebusuud...

...he knows what's best.

Forget him, sir. I don't trust his word.

Shut up, man! Repent! The walls have ears!!

Are you trying to get me in trouble?

Why don't you trust Ebusuud Efendi?

Do you suspect his wisdom?

Of course not, Hodja Celebi is a sea of knowledge.

However, he acted with Sultana Hurrem and Rustem Pasha...

...and he passed an edict to justify...

...innocent Prince Mustafa's execution.

How do you know that the prince was innocent?

If he did not commit such a betrayal, do you...

...think His Majesty would make such a decision?

He was 38 years old.

He never rebelled, not once!

I've never heard of such a thing.

Would a rebellious prince wait all this time?

Especially when the Jannissaries were supporting him.

That's enough.

Bring me some fruit, I want something sweet.

Your Highness.

Fahriye summons Canfeda.

Go find out what's her problem.

Your Highness, this Fahriye scares me a lot.

She looks at me such a way, I shiver to the bone.

She can't do anything.

You'll see how I bring her to line.

Hurry girls, hurry. Don't dawdle!!

Prince Bayezid is about to arrive.

Faster, woman, faster.

Your Highness.

Speak Sumbul.

Your Highness, I just got word.

His Majesty is calling you to his room.

Shame what happened to the prince.

It's that Russian witch Hurrem's games.

With lies and slanders, she made His Majesty do this.

Our prince would never betray his father.

Oh Your Majesty, oh my dear father.

If you read these lines, then you have...

...torn your own heart out.

And I left this world full of lies.

Know that you have sinned.

Know that, you have killed an innocent.

Come in.

Suleyman.

You have summoned me.

Oh my eyes.

Do not shed your water...

...to the fires of my heart.

Water can't put out...

...flames that burn so fast.

Come on girl, come on.

Don't dawdle girls, straight to the harem!

Go on.

Prince Bayezid has a sensitive soul.

Dumb women think...

...the bedroom is the key.

But it's not enough.

Not only his bed...

...you must control his mind and his heart.

I will do everything you wish, Your Highness.

As long as my sister will not be hurt.

Your sister is in my hands.

As long as you do what I ask...

...she won't be harmed.

I'll free you both.

Be careful woman.

Prince Bayezid's wound is still fresh.

Be patient.

The hearts of men go cold easily.

So they begin to raise their heads...

...and look around.

When Prince Bayezid raises his head...

...he'll see you first.

Prince.

What are you doing here?

I came for you, prince.

To set your table.

What's your name?

Defne, Prince.

I came to your palace recently.

Sultana Hurrem sent me.

To end your sorrow...

...to make you forget the past.

You can leave.

Fahriye Hatun.

You called me.

I'll inspect the Harem records.

Come and help me.

Can't it wait until the morning?

As you know, night time isn't for keeping records.

I didn't ask for your opinion, move it!

We have so much to do.

Canfeda?

What did Fahriye want?

She still thinks she can...

...send a concubine to my prince?

I will never allow it.

Sultana Hurrem can appoint as many...

...demons as she wants.

It's in vain.

This is my palace.

Canfeda?

You?

Should we go to Edirne?

We can stay there for a few months.

We can find each other again in silent...

...gardens, away from the capital's chaos.

Just like the old days.

We'll find each other with poems and books.

What do you say? Shall we go?

Don't you wonder why I called you, Hurrem?

I thought you missed me.

There's a question that's been eating away...

...my mind for years.

But I always evaded it.

Do you have anything to do with Mustafa's death?

Did you open the path to his death?

Did you slander my son?

Did you get him killed?
