EPISODE 131

Your Highness, you shouldn't care about that evil nightmare.

You haven't had a sound sleep...

...since His Excellency Prince Cihangir died.

Tell me about that dream and get it out of you.

I fear even to talk about it.

I do not know if it was just a nightmare...

...or the omen of a disaster that will happen in the future.

God, save Sultan Suleyman and my children.

What happened, guards?

What is that?

Who sent it?

We were not informed, Sir. It is delivered for Her Excellency Prince Selim.

Open it!

Isn't there any news?

No, but I sent my most trusted men to Kutahya.

I hope there won't be a problem.

Come in!

Your Excellency, this was delivered for you.

You may leave.

He must be left to twist in the wind when the golden coins couldn't be captured.

What is this smell?

Whose head is that?

The guard's whom I sent to take golden coins.

Who wrote that?

-Bayezid. -What does he say?

Brothers don't do this to their brothers!

They don't go behind their back and have designs for their properties...

...they don't disguise as bandits and bring trouble on them!

If I am to call you 'brother', what will I call Mustafa and Cihangir?

You broke the brotherhood pact, Selim.

You are not my brother anymore!

Eye for an eye, blood for blood!

Selim and I had been fighting since our childhood.

Sometimes we shouted at each other's faces full of hatred.

There were grudge and bad words between us.

But never...

We have never forgotten that we are brothers.

Prince Selim went behind your back in the Mustafa the Impostor incident, too.

I wouldn't like to say, but he has already disregarded your brotherhood.

There were people getting under his skin back then, Atmaca!

There was Kara Ahmed Pasha. Remember that he provoked and led him.

I thought then that my brother was duped and he would never do that again.

But this time, it's different. This time, he himself set a trap for me.

What will happen now?

We will wait and see. Everything depends on Selim.

I hope Selim learns a lesson and behaves.

Otherwise, he will pay dearly for it.

I actually wonder how Selim found out about the golden coins that Mihrimah sent?

Is it possible that someone from this palace informed him?

I don't think so. Thank God, I trust everyone in my palace.

But there are always people who can't hold their tongues in capital.

Dad!

My Sultana...

Your Excellency.

She wanted to see you. I could not stop her.

My daughter.

Bayezid will attack at the first chance.

It's all because of you, Nurbanu.

If you did not send that concubine to Kutahya, none of these would happen today.

You got under my skin and you fired all my fears.

You must fear! You must fear, so you can be cautious!

What were you expecting? That Bayezid will give you the throne himself?

This is a war, Your Excellency. And the rules of war are clear.

Only one of you will survive.

While marching to Rome, Ceaser said, "Alea iacta est",

"The die is cast." This applies to us, as as well.

Yesterday, Ahmed Pasha was beheaded, today your guards.

You must take an action before it is your turn.

You can end our fears.

The concubine we've sent to Kutahya waits for orders.

By a single word of yours and Bayezid will end and your era begins.

By just a single word.

What do you mean?

No one can stop Bayezid now. He will do his best to take your life.

By a single word of yours, we will win the war before it gets bigger.

You must take Bayezid's life before he takes yours.

Have you lost your mind, Nurbanu?

How dare you suggest me that?

Get off! Go to your chamber!

Get off!

Your Highness, you should relax for a bit.

Sultana Mihrimah is fine, you saw that yourself.

What that woman is doing here?

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem...

I really do not know.

Your Highness, what was that chest?

There are rumors in the palace.

They say, there was a human head inside of that.

What does that mean?

Bayezid sent it. It means that he will take Selim's life at the first chance.

The die is cast. I tired to tell him.

But His Excellency doesn't see it, he doesn't want to.

You must find a way to explain it to him then.

You are right.

If His Excellency closes his eyes to the truth...

...I must open them.

What are you doing here, woman?

You summoned me, Your Highness.

You summoned me to find a solution...

...to the grief boring your heart...

...and the nightmares you had last night.

You shouldn't forget that the dreams are like mirrors.

Some see your heart, some see the future.

How do you know these?

I do not know if it is a reward or a punishment...

...but I know what is in people's hearts.

Now, Your Highness,

...tell me all you've seen...

...as if you're telling them to a streaming river.

First, I heard a terrifying noise.

I immediately got out to my balcony to check.

Istanbul...

...the palace...

...the whole world...

...burned down and destroyed.

There were black clouds in the sky.

Will something bad happen to my Princes and or His Majesty?

Is this all a sign to that?

It's the Judgment Day, Your Highness!

Soon the Judgment Day will come!

What Judgment Day, woman? Only God knows this all.

People's death is their own Judgment Day, Your Highness.

The Judgment Day will come if something happens to you.

Then Sultan Suleyman Khan...

...will plunge into darkness.

And your Princes will raise war shields.

You rule the whole world.

If you go down, the whole world will go, as well.

La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah!

Woman what are you saying, woman?

Did you come here to grieve Her Highness?

Aghas, take this woman away now!

She will never walk in the palace again!

Go on!

[Arabic]

Padro is waiting, Your Highness.

He has made the pomade he mentioned.

I do not think it will work.

He looks more like a juggler than a physician.

You talk like woman physicians and...

...palace physicians found a solution and I didn't like.

I don't care Pedro or who it is.

I just want his medicines to heal me. Let him in.

There's no need.

Aghas!

What is this with you, Signor?

Your Highness, this is the Pasha's order.

This is more appropriate.

Woman, apply the pomade right away.

What are you doing?

How else can I cure it, Sir?

No, you can't touch her. Find a different way.

Higher.

Are you sure, Pedro? What if those wounds are a symptom of another disease?

Sir, the Sultana's disease proceeded...

...because of a false treatment.

She will be cured by my medicine.

Those physicians you underestimate started their major when you were a baby, Pedro.

Years don't give you experience, Sir.

Experience is gained by learning and applying.

Otherwise...

...old donkeys and mules pulling the mill...

...would be more wise than your physicians.

Let's hope your medicine work.

Otherwise, you will rot in dungeons because of committing charlatanism and trickery...

...Pedro.

-Your Highness. -Rustem Pasha.

-Signor Pedro. -Your Highness.

How is Sultana Mihrimah?

He applied the pomade he made. We'll see the result.

May she recover soon.

I will do everything in my power, Your Highness, you may rest assured.

Is there any news from His Majesty.

He is resting in Edirne.

But as I heard, he summoned that Jewish woman to Edirne.

What is that woman?

Why is she going there?

Grazia Mendez, the merchant was held as a captive in Venice.

She was released by His Majesty's order.

She is a powerful woman friends with the kings and respected statesmen.

I have never seen you like this before, Signiora.

Even the kings didn't excite you like this.

Sara, Sultan Suleyman is not a king.

He is the king of the kings.

-Mihrimah. -Mother.

My beautiful daughter...

How are you?

Nothing changed, mother.

I hope Pedro's pomade will make it better.

How are you?

Why did you leave the palace after the last incident? I could visit you.

Do not be afraid, my daughter. It was Sultana Fatma organized that incident.

And she's gone. Now, no one can hurt me.

I only care about you.

Your Majesty, Donna Grazia Mendez is here.

She is seeking for an audience.

Your Majesty Sultan Suleyman Khan.

You can't 'pageant' how happy I am...

...since you have granted me to meet you.

Imagine.

I...

I have had dinners with almost all kings in the Europe at the same table.

I have made friends with them.

But I have never been this excited in my life.

Forgive me, The King of the Kings.

How was your journey, signora Mendez?

Sea journeys are always difficult.

All my worries have dispersed thanks to you.

You saved me from the dungeon with a single word of yours.

You saved me.

I am grateful to you, Your Majesty Sultan Suleyman Khan.

I didn't have a heart to leave a valuable merchant in the dungeon as yourself.

Where is my blue dress, Sumbul? The red one isn't here either.

Well, I don't know, Your Highness. The concubines must have put them away.

You know...

...you haven't worn any other dresses but these ones.

I hope it is good, Your Highness? What are you preparing for?

Mihrimah is fine, thank God.

And I hope Selim and Bayezid are fine.

I hope so.

Send a letter to Lokman and Fahriye.

Tell them to send me reports every week. And you make your preparations.

-We will set off to Edirne. -Yes, Your Highness.

I must be with His Majesty.

No one and nothing can come in between us. Never.

Our love had been tested many times.

Every time, we were victorious. It will be the same again.

I hope, Your Highness, of course.

Do you remember...

...how His Majesty rushed to you when the incident happened?

He was so afraid to lose you.

I saw it in his eyes.

Your Majesty.

It is difficult to present you a gift.

All the jewelry in this world...

...even the silver rivers of the New World...

...are pale in comparison with the wealth...

...you own.

Your Majesty.

"La Divina Commedia."

I have read it years ago. But I haven't touched it for a long time.

As I see, I have to read it all over again, since the book itself came and found me.

Signora, I heard that you wear two names.

One is Beatrice and the other is Grazia.

How should I address you? Beatrice or Grazia?

Your Majesty...

...I had to...

...hide my identity and religion for years.

Beatrice was the name that I had to use.

It hurts me.

By calling me Grazia...

...you will make me very happy.

In my country, everyone is free with their names and religions, Grazia Mendez.

You shouldn't doubt that.

I hope, I will be able to take advantage those privileges.

I hope...

Well, you look dazzling in this dress, Your Highness.

May God keep you from evil eye.

What is it, Your Highness? What is wrong?

It's not important. I guess a boil sprang out because of distress.

I will call a physician right away.

I don't have time for that, Sumbul.

I want to set off and get to His Majesty right away.

What do you mean he himself came to the palace, Mentor?

It is obvious that Prince Selim made a mistake.

Otherwise, he would alarm everyone by now. He is not leaving his chamber.

And Nurbanu... She is prowling around.

Things are getting complicated, Mentor.

I am aware of everything Fahriye Kalfa.

Evil incidents await us.

You have to be blind to not see it.

What are we going to do?

It will be in vain no matter what we do.

But Sultana Hurrem can control the Princes.

Only she can stop them.

Her Blissful Highness Sultana Hurrem...

...unfortunately, I can't give you good news.

Even though I don't know what the matter is exactly...

...it is serious.

So that Prince Selim's guard's head was sent to the palace.

The fight between the Princes approaches to a point that there will be no return.

It is obvious that I can not drown this incident alone.

You did very well, Mentor.

If Sultana Hurrem does not interfere, the matter will take a very bad turn.

I hope that she will receive the letter soon...

...and she can step in before anyone sheds blood.

I hope so.

I keep worrying about you, Your Highness.

As I think about what happened I can't even sleep.

It was my advise.

Bayezid is more powerful than my Prince.

I wanted to leave him to twist in the wind by confiscating golden coins.

However, we were unlucky. We woke up the sleeping lion.

Now, at the first opportunity, he will try to kill my Prince.

I worry, Gazanfer.

I see that head he's sent in my nightmares, I see Selim's face.

I see darkened future of my Murad and daughters.

God save us.

From now on, I am always with you, Your Highness.

I can't make it without you anyway. I told you that there was a war in the future.

His Excellency must realize the danger awaits him.

We will remind him that it is about his life.

What do you have in mind, Your Highness?

You will find me poison.

My daughter Sultana Ayse loves you.

Her Highness honors me.

I hope I could gain your love, as well.

I had been through hard times.

The grief of Mustafa and Cihangir followed me like shadows.

Just as I recovered from that grief...

...my children lost their mother while they were so small.

Then, I came across with you.

You put a little smile on my face.

I thought the flower of love would not blossom for me anymore, but it did.

My mother made a right decision by sending you here.

I am glad that I could heal your wounds, Your Excellency.

I look better, don't I?

Thank God, you are better.

...the Chief Physician also said you'll be alright, it is because of the weather.

What weather, Rustem?

You know very well that Signor Pedro's pomade worked.

Then he does not have to come here anymore.

We have to complete the treatment. Signor Pedro will come here.

-He will come here until I recover. -I can not allow that, Mihrimah.

Your wound are healing. What do want more?

Edirne...

My detention palace...

You had been expelled for many times, Your Highness.

But every time, you come back stronger.

Well, even I don't remember the number.

Do you know the Phoenix, Sumbul?

In the land I was born, they call it Féniks.

You are talking about Simorg, Your Highness.

Of course, I do.

It is a bird with bright eyes like stars...

...and golden and emerald colored feathers.

You are the Simorg, Your Highness.

Every time you burn like him and rise again from your ashes.

I died every time...

...and every time I was reborn shining brighter.

That dream may be the sign for that.

I need to build a new life on my wreckage.

I need to win Sultan Suleyman's heart again.

I hope so.

-How is the situation in the almshouse? -Everything is alright, Your Excellency.

People pray for your health.

Go and find another place, don't get me in trouble!

What would happen if I put my goods here? There's enough space for us both.

-No! Go, find somewhere else! -Hold back, Sir.

Why do you interfere? Just let him open a stall.

He sells some herbs I don't know. Maybe he is some sorcerer or something.

That sinister ignoble!

-Is it true? -I swear these are healing herbs.

I have everything from Luqman al-Hakim's herbs to China's and India's cures.

If this insensible man...

...had my clarity herbs, this wouldn't happen.

If he does not hurt anyone, you can't take the bread out from his mouth.

Why do you interfere? Just go on your way!

Do you know who you are talking to?

His Excellency Prince Bayezid stands in front of you!

Forgive me, I did not know.

I never meant to be disrespectful.

This man will open his stall here.

Both you will earn your bread.

-Your wish is my command. -God bless you, Sir.

Good.

God bless you, Sir. Here's a gift from me.

-It gives a man the strength of ten oxes. -Thank God, we don't need it.

I have all herbs of the Mediterranean and the New World!

If you need anything, you can look for me around Aynali Tavern

People know me there!

How is His Majesty?

Edirne made him better, Your Highness.

I am sure he will feel even better when he sees you.

Rustem Pasha mentioned a woman called Grazia Mendez. Is she still here?

King Ferdinand's palace is full of flowers.

The rooms, the corridors, everywhere...

There aren't those many flowers even in the garden.

Of course, I didn't understand.

I was defeated by my curiosity and asked the King's servants about it.

It turned out that, there wasn't a...

What do you call it? A toilet!

They put flowers everywhere in the palace to prevent the stink.

Imagine that important pacts and conversations are made there...

...but people congest their noses.

Your Highness.

Your Highness Sultana Hurrem.

Let me introduce myself. I am Grazia Mendez.

I am delightful to be able to meet the woman that the whole of Europe speaks about.

What happened Hurrem? Why did you come here without a notice?

I hope there is nothing wrong with Mihrimah.

Thank God she is better.

Mehmet Pasha's physician started the treatment.

Good.

I was wondering about your health and situation.

But I see you're fine, thank God.

I will rest if you excuse me.

I had a long journey.

Your Majesty.

Signora Mendez.

Forgive me, Selim, I crossed my limits.

Please understand me.

I am worried about yours and our children's future.

I doubt everyone and everything. I am so afraid, Selim.

You still drink too much.

I can not get rid of that stink of death otherwise.

Wait, Your Excellency!

First, this concubine should drink that.

She acts strange.

What do you say, Nurbanu?

-Your Highness-- -Drink it!

Drink it.

What are you trying to do, Nurbanu?

I hope it will work.

So that His Excellency will realize how serious the situation is.

Your Highness, what will happen to the concubine?

I have to, Gazanfer.

If I don't take lives, I can't protect ours.

Oh, God! What if you drank it!

Prince Bayezid!

He has a finger in this! He wants to kill you!

-God damn it! -It was obvious he wouldn't stop!

Enough, Nurbanu, silence!

Would you like me to invite Sultana Hurrem, Your Majesty?

Not now.

Your Majesty...

...the medicine that will help and heal you is right by your side.

But you reject taking that.

Come in.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, Signiora Mendez would like to see you.

Let her in.

Yes, Your Highness.

Come, Signora.

Your Highness...

...you gave me the whole world by granting me an audience.

I heard that His Majesty closely interested in your situation.

Sultan Suleyman did me a great favor.

He can't be praised enough.

No emperor I've known can be compared to him.

And...

...it is exciting to be at your presence...

...as much as being at his.

-Is that so? -Of course.

You stand by Sultan Suleyman's side...

...who has been ruling the world for years.

You know what they say...

Men rule the world...

...and women rule the men.

I have heard that you are adept at trading.

But I now understand that you have a keen intelligence...

...providing you this success...

...Signora Mendez.

Aghas!

You broke the brotherhood pact, Selim!

You are not my brother anymore. Eye for an eye, blood for blood!

You may leave.

Is that how I will spend the rest of my life?

Will I obediently wait for death?

I am so afraid that I will lose you and my children.

Your fears are in vain, Nurbanu. I will protect you and my children.

If I didn't realize that concubine, God forbid, you would be dead now.

You see what Prince Bayezid tries to do.

You still smell the stink of that rotten head.

Wake up, Selim. Just as it was written in that letter...

...you two are no longer brothers.

This world is too small for you two.

If you want to win...

...and stay alive...

...you must act.

I can not live...

I can not live with this fear of death.

Send a word to Kutahya.

That concubine must do what is necessary.

You are doing right thing, Selim.

They didn't leave us another way.

I saw the last porcelain you made, Your Excellency.

They are so vivid and beautiful.

So, you say I improved myself, and it will be alright if I work a bit?

No! No! I didn't mean that.

I say what is in my heart.

Where did you come from?

I am actually from Venice.

My name is Luisa.

Pirates attacked our ship.

And you know the rest.

I was taken captive and ended up in here.

My mother, Sultana Hurrem...

She was also a brought to Ottoman Empire as a slave.

There is a saying my mother likes, Defne...

..."Sometimes great happinesses are hidden behind great disasters."

She turned her unluckiness into a luckiness.

She owns a great love worth the whole world...

...and a great power that everyone is jealous of.

What saddens you?

Never. What sadness?

I am so very happy to be with you.

I can see your sorrow even if it is hidden behind your smile.

Tell me.

When the pirates attacked our ship, my sister was with me.

Her name is Anna.

The pirates took her from me.

Did they kill your sister?

I know what it means to lose a sibling.

Nothing is enough to replace their void.

Nothing...

But there is a greater grief.

Losing...

...your siblings while they're alive.

Send a word to Kutahya.

That concubine must do what's necessary.

You are doing the right thing, Selim.

God... What have I done?

-Father. -Go back to your chamber, my lion.

You did not take my words serious last night, did you?

You didn't send word to the concubine, did you?

-Calm down, Selim-- -Answer my question, Nurbanu.

-You didn't, did you? -No, not yet.

But it isn't the time to regret.

You made a right decision. Now, allow me to do what's necessary.

Never, no! Bayezid is my brother.

No matter what, I won't rule over his death.

Your Highness.

Did you send the messenger to Kutahya Palace, Gazanfer?

Yes, he just left, Your Highness.

-Is there a problem? -His Excellency changed his mind.

He said, he couldn't rule over his brother's death.

Then, we should stop the messenger.

There's no need.

I I lied to protect my children and His Excellency.

Oh my, oh my!

Faster, girls! You will also clean the Prince's room!

But you're so slow!

What is wrong with you, woman?

My stomach... I am sick at my stomach all day.

Are you pregnant, woman?

I will inform the physician right away. There you go.

You shouldn't get excited in vain, Kalfa. Unfortunately, there's no possibility.

Look at me! I just couldn't be freed of this evil!

It started again just as I thought I recovered.

But that Signor's medicine worked.

Of course, it did. It healed where he applied, but inflamed other parts.

Call Signor Pedro here again.

Shouldn't we need to inform Rustem Pasha beforehand, Your Highness?

Do as I say.

I came here to leave everything behind, Suleyman.

A great despair crept between us, Hurrem.

Cliffs, wounds...

Every darkness...

...carries the seeds of the dawn that will enlighten it.

Isn't it what Dante say?

The reason...

...of my life and survival.

My paradise...

...my Kawthar Wine.

My spring, my joy...

...the reason of my days.

My beloved one who is carved in my heart like an image.

My smiling rose.

Do you remember that?

You wrote these.

Long years ago.

30 years ago or yesterday...

Would love get older?

Would love making you write poems like these...

...get older?

Even though the heart stops beating...

...love stays alive along with the poems.

Forever.

It becomes immortal.

It doesn't matter if the years pass...

...or grief comes between us...

or cliffs.

As long as there is love remains eternal,

...what power may separate us?

Your Majesty, Signora Grazia Mendez is here.

She may come.

Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

I see you are holding my present. How nice!

Do I disturb you, Your Highness?

Forgive me.

I invited you here, Signora Mendez. Please.

Her Highness expects you, Signor.

Signor Pedro.

Approach.

Open your eyes.

How could I, Your Highness? Rustem Pasha...

He's not here...

If I follow his rules, I will die of this disease.

Take that meaningless cover away.

Your Highness.

I was asking myself what could be the reason of this silence.

The rash on my neck and chest quite healed.

But now, the disease appears on my wrists.

So, the pomade worked.

If you apply it on the other areas inflamed, it will work.

Will I ever be able to be freed of this disease?

Will it appear on the other areas as another heals.

You will.

It must be because of something you've eaten.

Maybe a sherbet you've drunken is doing this.

Or a perfume or an oil you use.

Other physicians ask me the same thing.

-I didn't do anything. -Strange.

I will make another jar of the same pomade.

Come, Signor.

I hear the news that King Charles' situation...

...is getting worse, Your Majesty Sultan Suleyman.

I heard that he wants to give the throne to King Ferdinand and his son Philip.

I know.

Charles is an important Christian king ruling over wide lands.

I am quite surprised that he wants to give up on this throne.

It must be difficult to rule a great state for years.

Not everyone is strong as yourself.

In addition, he is ill. He suffers from...

...the gout disease that you call nikris.

His hands and feet are swollen. He can't move comfortably.

They say he can't even ride a horse.

They situation of Europe will of course change after Charles.

Yes.

If this goes on, the great Habsburg Dynasty's lands will be divided.

The religious movement Luther started shook all the balance.

Your unstoppable power will gain more importance...

...in the Christian world.

Signora Mendez...

...I see you are very interested in politics.

This is the first rule to survive in the men's world, Your Highness.

We should have a knowledge and an opinion...

...about every matter especially about politics.

If we, women, talk about politics like men...

...and looking at the same aspects, it will be pointless.

His Majesty and I also talk about politics...

...but we avoid doing it while eating.

Then, forgive me.

Have you made a decision regarding my situation, Your Majesty?

It is my only wish to be under protection of a great emperor as yourself.

Mentor Mustafa wrote a letter to Sultana Hurrem, Sir.

There may be a problem in Manisa.

Letter? Why do I learn about that now?

You were busy with Sultana Mihrimah

So, I ordered the letter to be sent to Edirne immediately.

How is Sultana Mihrimah?

She is inside, Sir. Signor Pedro examines her.

As you wish, it is possible for you to accommodate and trade in capital...

...as long as you are faithful to the law.

Additionally, you...

...will be given a mansion in Galata. I hope it will be best for everyone.

You can't imagine how you made me happy.

I am so grateful.

I am now at your service with my all wealth and properties, Great Sultan.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, may I be excused?

Your Highness, the Mentor asked me to give it to you personally.

My God...

-I hope it isn't bad. -My Princes...

They will fight, Sumbul. I have to do something.

What are you doing here? Did not I warn you...

...to inform me before you come here?

Your Grace!

Sir...

...Sultana Mihrimah summoned me urgently. I did not have time.

He tells the truth. I wanted him to be here.

I got worried when I saw the wounds on my hands.

Why aren't your eyes shut?

I ordered so.

These are wounds, Rustem. How could he treat them without even seeing them?

Signor Pedro...

Thank you, you may leave now.

While it is about my health, you are unnecessarily being jealous.

If my mother and His Majesty were here, they would teach you a lesson.

Signora Mendez also said that Charles wasn't in good health.

So, it is right what we've heard.

I want you to be interested in this matter, Sokollu.

Send messages to our spies in the Christian world...

...to inform us about everything.

Yes, Your Majesty.

-Your Highness. -Your Majesty.

May I be excused, Your Majesty?

I've got a letter from Saruhan.

What happened? I hope nothing unpleasant happened.

They say my grandchild Murat has fallen sick.

But if they inform us, God forbid, he isn't fine.

I will not feel comfortable if I don't go and see him immediately.

There is already not a point for me to stay here.

Obviously...

...my presence by your side isn't powerful enough to break the ice between us.

It is alright for you to go to Saruhan.

Because you know what we have been through.

Salih Agha...

...is there a letter from Manisa?

-Sultana Nurbanu sent me here. -What is this?

You know what it is. You will pour it to Prince's meal.

I can't.

She told me only to inform her, she didn't tell me this.

But she tells you know. Look, you will end this tonight.

And Sultana Nurbanu made a promise.

If you can achieve this, she will send both you and your sister to your homeland.

But if you can't do that...

...your sister will drink the same poison you hold your hand.

I will come here to pick you after isha prayer.

Be careful.

I will do whatever you want me to...

...as long as my sister doesn't get hurt, Your Highness.

Your sister is my responsibility.

As long as you do what I ask you, she won't get hurt.

Gulsen Kalfa.

I was looking for you.

I will set His Excellency's dinner table tonight. I just wanted you to know.

Why is that, woman?

I have good news for him that will make him very happy.

That's how I would like to tell him.

Are you with child, woman?

I told you! Congratulations!

When you bear your child, nothing will happen to you.

Hatice Hatun!

Look at me! This evil disease inflamed in my whole body!

-Call Pedro to come here now! -Would it be appropriate, Your Highness?

-And how would Rustem Pasha react? -Do what I say! I want him here now!

Come in.

-Your Highness. -Signor Pedro.

Hatice Hatun, you wait outside.

Approach, Signor.

My wounds inflamed again.

We will start the treatment again.

There is no need for that. Apply it in the most convenient way.

Mihrimah?

-Are you alright. -I'm fine, it's nothing.

You had a nightmare.

It's alright.

Come.

Sultana Nurbanu made a promise.

If you achieve this, she will send both you and your sister to your homeland.

But if you can't do it, your sister will drink the same poison in your hand.

Your sister is my responsibility.

She won't get hurt as long as you do what ask you.

But if you can't do it, your sister will drink the same poison in your hand.

I have not received a letter from my mother for a long time.

Do you know something?

I hope she is in good health. She would write you as soon as possible.

Because she receives information about you.

Yes.

-Your Excellency. -Where are you going?

We were going to have dinner together.

If you may excuse me, I will check on Sultana Ayse. I will visit you later.

My Ayse is fine.

And wasn't your duty to brush away my grief?

Come.

Gracia Mendez has been freed thanks to you, Your Excellency.

You made us a great favor.

From now on, Donna Grazia and I will be your most loyal servants...

...on the path leading you to the throne.

I hope.

Cyprus Wine that you favor. It arrived at Izmir port only a few days ago.

I do not want.

I lost my mind when I drank last.

One drinks wine doesn't lose their mind, Your Excellency...

...they find their mind.

We hide our passion, joy, desires,

...and real ambitions in tunnels of our souls.

Wine causes them to flow to the surface.

Do you say, the things we say when we drink wine...

...are actually what lies in our hearts?

Alas!

Then, to the truth.

I ordered new colors for my ceramics. They will arrive soon.

Maybe you also can help me this time? I will see your talent, too.

As you wish.

My late brother Cihangir taught me about pottery.

My dear brother... He was talented about every beauty.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

You remind your sister when I talk about Cihangir, right?

Please excuse me to leave, Your Excellency.

Not before I take your sorrow away.

Come on.

It is very delicious.

No matter what...

...one of us must be always with the Prince, Sergeant Huseyin.

You're right.

-Who is he? -I don't know.

But this isn't a good sign.

Who are you, Agha?

Get him, Sergeant Huseyin! I will go check on the Prince!

You haven't eaten anything yet.

Def...

Defne, what's happening?

Forgive me! I did not want this to happen!

Open the door! Open it!

Your Excellency!

Your Excellency! Your Excellency!

Woman! Catch the woman!

Your Excellency! Your Excellency! Your Excellency!

Aghas! Call the physician! Call the physician!

-What is happening? -Let go!

-Put her to the dungeon! -Let go!

Your Excellency, hold on, hold on.

God save him. Help him!

He needs to throw the poison out.

-Physician! -Your Excellency, open your eyes!

-He got poisoned -How long has it been?

Not much. Find a solution, woman!

-What happened? -His Excellency got poisoned.

With what? Which poison?

-Where is the woman? -They took her to the dungeons.

-Did you catch the man, Sergeant Huseyin? -That devil ran away. What happened?

They poisoned His Excellency. You stay here!

What did you make him drink? How did you poison him?

I will tell you, I will tell you, I will tell you.

These dungeons will be your grave.

Hold on, Your Excellency, hold on. He doesn't throw out.

She poisoned His Excellency with this.

This is the toad frog poison.

-What is the antidote? -Tıyn-ı Mahtun

-We always have it in the Main Palace. -What is Tıyn-ı Mahtun?

It means sealed soil. We don't have it here.

It comes from Limnos. It is made especially for His Majesty's palace.

But His Majesty can't survive until we get there.

Your Excellency... Your Excellency!

Bayezid.

Bayezid, we are brothers. Don't you ever forget that.

Brother?

Selim...

-My brother... -Calm down, Your Excellency.

-Don't get exhausted. -Thank God!

Where did you find this sealed soil? You were right on time.

Do you have Tıyn-ı Mahtun?

No, Sir. You can ask me anything but that.

Is that sealed soil...

...what you call Tıyn-ı Mahtun?

God bless you.

Selim...

Your Highness?

Are you alright?

Did you have a nightmare?

We should have rested for night. You should at least lie down on the bed.

No.

I have to go to Manisa immediately.

Is your neck sore?

It isn't, Sumbul. I have a pain between my neck and shoulder.

-Fortunately, it doesn't take long. -The physician is with us.

-She can examine you now. -I don't want, Sumbul.

We should get to Manisa first.

[Arabic]

Thank God, Tıyn-ı Mahtun worked. His Excellency has recovered.

However, he must stay in bed and have rest for a while.

The poison will be evacuated in time.

Who sent you here?

Who told you to poison Prince Bayezid?

Sultana Nurbanu!

Prince Selim is also involved in this, isn't he?

Stop, stop, stop! I'm pregnant!

I am with His Excellency's child! Stop!

I am not only His Excellency's wife Mihrunnisa.

This way...

...you will be killing His Excellency's child I am with.

Take this woman out and get her a room.

Call the physician to examine her, and get two guards wait on her.

Come on, girls!

Faster, girls! Hurry up, stop stalling, come on!

Hurry!

Gazanfer Agha.

I see you are on duty as soon as you've recovered.

I am. You know...

...Her Highness is encircled by hyenas.

But now, I will always be with Her Highness.

Whoever tries to take her life...

..will have to face me.

Are you threatening me, Agha?

What is going on here?

Gazanfer?

Your Highness.

Gazanfer Agha forgot who he was talking to.

He tries to ignore me.

-That impertinent! -You must know your limits, Fahriye.

Gazanfer Agha is my chamberlain.

You must know that if you disrespect him, you disrespect me!

Now, go back to your work.

And you, come with me.

Praise God, those bad days are in past now.

Signor Pedro's pomade worked miracles.

I do not want to see that man here anymore.

Are there any news from my mother, Rustem?

After reading the letter from Mentor Mustafa...

...she decided going from Edirne directly to Manisa.

Obviously something happened that she needed to warn Prince Selim.

What could have happened? Why did you not take care of it?

You shouldn't worry right away.

I don't think it is important. Maybe the Mentor exaggerated it.

Isn't there any note from Defne, yet?

Not yet, Your Highness, but I trust Defne Hatun.

I hope she will end Prince Bayezid and relieve us.

What if she can't do it? What if she gets caught and turns us in?

Then, no one can save Selim from Prince Bayezid.

I would be pushing the man I love into the flames with my own hands.

You shouldn't worry, Your Highness.

I hope we will be victorious at the end of this war.

What about Defne Hatun's sister Anna?

What will happen to her?

I really do not know.

-Your Excellency. -Come, Atmaca.

Thank God, you are awake days later.

Could you find out who did this.

Unfortunately, it's Prince Selim.

Your favorite Daphne Hatun told us everything. She was sent here as a spy.

She had orders from Sultana Nurbanu to kill you.

And Prince Selim knew about everything.

The woman? Is she executed?

She is pregnant.

It is true?

I sent a physician to examine her.

Unfortunately, Your Excellency...

...you will have a child from the woman...

...who has been sent here to kill you.

You shouldn't be exposed to the sunlight this long, Your Highness.

Maybe you had that disease because of sunlight. Who knows?

You will be executed on the day that child is born, woman!

I accept that, Your Excellency.

-I am ready for my punishment. -Why did you do that? Why?

For my sister. I had to.

What sister? You told me she was dead.

My sister and I were sold to the Saruhan Palace, Your Excellency.

Sultana Nurbanu used my weakness to her.

She is just a child, Your Excellency, she is so young.

-If this is also a lie, woman... -I have nothing to lose now.

Tell me.

Sultana Nurbanu told me if I didn't...

...if I didn't poison you, she would kill my sister.

If so, why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you ask for help for all that time?

I could not take such a risk when my sister had a knife on her throat.

How could you trust Sultana Nurbanu?

She and her Prince Selim are both sneaky vipers!

You know what love of siblings is.

You keep talking about Prince Mustafa and Prince Cihangir.

If you had a little silverlining to save their lives...

...what would you do?

You have gained your beauty again, Your Highness.

May God protect you from evil eyes.

Thank God, I am recovered. You may leave.

My brother has happened to threaten a helpless woman...

...with an innocent child's life.

Shame!

This is a very upsetting situation, Your Excellency.

Get ready, Atmaca. Gather the soldiers.

I have no more patience.

We will go to settle the accounts with Selim.

Please, Your Excellency, this isn't right.

The more I remained silent, the more he thought I was weak, Atmaca.

Stop objecting and do as I say.

Of course, I will follow your orders, Your Excellency, but first, you must recover.

We will act right after that.

What action, Atmaca? What's happening?

Take a paper and the ink, Lokman.

Start writing.

Your Majesty...

Prince Selim who you call your son, hold him dear and...

...deem worthy of your throne is an traitor!

-Your Excellency, forgive me but-- -Stop asking and write!

He sent a spy to my palace and try to kill...

...and backstab me.

But he wasn't successful.

You should know that I won't remain silent without doing anything...

...and hope to get help from you.

I will make him pay for this vile attack most dearly.

I would like you to learn that from me.

As you ordered, I investigated the situation, Your Majesty.

It is true.

King Charles is about to give his throne to Ferdinand.

And get into seclusion in a monastery.

His son Philip will take Spanish, Dutch,

Neapolitan, Sicilian and Milanese Princedoms...

And Ferdinand the heathen will take Austrian, Bohemian and German Princedoms.

How long has he been ruling?

About forty years, Your Majesty.

He ascended to the throne of Spain four years earlier than you.

You may leave, Sokollu.

Your Majesty.

You have been depressed for a long time.

Even if your face smiles, your heart doesn't.

It isn't difficult to see that.

Look how time is rushing.

One era ends and the other begins.

Each our breath we breathe in is precious and their number is certain in our destiny.

We can not have more.

Your Majesty...

...your medicine is Sultana Hurrem.

You torture yourself, not her...

...by avoiding her.

Is it not the time to end this pain?

Your Highness.

Your Highness, are you alright?

Sumbul, I can't endure the pain!

Let me call the physician. Let her examine you.

Sumbul...

Your Highness, for the love of God, do not be stubborn!

Come in.

Your Excellency, I do not know how to say it...

Your Excellency, we've just received a note,

Prince Bayezid is marching to the palace with his five thousand soldiers.

How could this be?

There is no turning back from here, Your Excellency.

What will happen will happen, Atmaca. I risk everything.

When did you notice this boil, Your Highness.

I do not know. Maybe a month ago.

Do you have another discomfort, Your Highness?

Only the pain.

Say something, woman.

Your Highness, I can't say anything exactly now.

If the pain gets worse, we will strap the boil, Your Highness.

Alright.

What's wrong with Her Highness?

Tell me, woman. Why are you silent?

Her Highness is in very serious condition.

There is no cure for this disease.

This disease is so terrible that...

...I have not heard of anyone surviving it yet.

Her Highness...

...doesn't have much time, Sumbul Agha.

God forbid, death is near.
