Where is Mehmet? In his chamber?

I'll learn right away, Your Highness.

-Mother. -My lion.

I was just about to summon you.

What is it, mother? Something the matter?

Today, after the council you went to the ship yard with Ibrahim Pasha.

That's right, Valide.

Do you have a problem with it?

If you're going to leave the palace again, I should I know about it.

That's why came here.

There is something you need to know.

In spring, I leave the palace.

-What does it mean? -I'm leaving for the province.

How is this possible, all of a sudden?

I wanted it

and His Majesty agreed.

Mother!

Your Highness?

Suleyman?

Suleyman?

Suleyman.

Open your eyes Suleyman!

Open your eyes! Suleyman!

Open your eyes! Suleyman!

Open your eyes.

Guards!

Your Majesty..

He's alive, right?

Praise be to God, he is alive, Your Highness.

Almighty, look after him.

How could this happen?

I swear to you, no one knows anything.

Sultana Hurrem found him, he was laying unconscious.

Hatice.

Hurrem.

Come with me.

It's not possible for me to leave before spring.

Mother will join me after a few months.

What did she say to you?

Nothing, she said nothing and left

I'm sure she went to my father.

Don't get your hopes up, brother.

If I know my mother, she will prevent this

I will not allow it!

Mehmed! Mehmed!

He went through this before.

It's the same disease.

Keep your chin up, Your Highness.

His Majesty is strong, he will overcome this.

God...

Hurrem, do not worry.

My brother will be fine.

Your Grace.

Speak head physician, what's the situation?

He was poisoned, Your Grace.

Do you hear what you are saying?

How could he be poisoned?

There is no other explanation.

He has redness on the skin.

We are trying to reduce the fever.

But the poison is still in the body. We need to pull it out as soon as possible.

What kind of poison?

We'll find the cure for that damn poison, right away!

We don't know what it is. I've never seen it before.

Mother.

Your Highness, what's going on?

His Majesty is a bit sick.

But do not worry, he will recover soon.

Mother, what's wrong with father?

We were together just a while ago, he was fine. How could this be?

His Majesty...

...has been poisoned.

We will see whose blood will flow on these marble floors.

We need to pull the poison out of his body immediately.

But, we don't know what it is.

Ibrahim, what are you saying?

A poison?

There is only one way to get rid of me.

Take His Majesty's life.

As a world in which he's not breathing, is not my world.

Bring my son, Your Grace. Yahya.

He'll find a way.

A great idea, Lady Afife.

Lord Yahya can cure any disease.

Stay with the His Majesty.

As you command, Your Grace.

Lord Yahya!

Lord Yahya!

Lord Yahya, hurry!

What happened, Your Grace?

His Majesty was poisoned, he needs treatment now!

Oh God, how is he?

He's not well, Lord Yahya. We need your help! Nobody knows what this poison is.

His condition is bad, who knows how long he'll last. Come on!

Ferhat!

-Yes Lord Yahya! -Prepare my bag.

What is this?

I do not know if it will help, but they say that this soil can cure any disease.

Let's go.

Your Grace, welcome.

Not well at all, Mustafa.

I bring bad news.

His Majesty's situation is not well.

His disease is progressing.

The doctors say that in a few he will pass away.

My prince, we must return to the capital as soon as possible.

The whole Ottoman realm awaits you.

Lord Yahya.

Will he recover?

I hope so, Your Grace.

Don't lose hope on God, let's have our prayer.

On behalf of Allah, I wish you good health...

...from everything that makes you suffer, from every jealous person...

...from all the hostiles eyes.

Amen.

Nobody but the Almighty can heal you.

Allah.

Heal your subject, so he'll work to get your approval and spread Islam.

-Mother. -Mihrimah.

Please tell me that father has opened his eyes.

Not yet Mihrimah, not yet.

They brought Lord Yahya.

He did everything in his power.

They say he has angelic healing powers.

He'll give life to His Majesty with his healing hands.

We will wait Mihrimah, we will pray.

Ibrahim, who can dare to do this?

If you know something, tell me.

We are surrounded by enemies.

It could be anyone.

Let His Majesty recover his health first, God willing...

Then I'll find whoever did it and rip his heart out myself!

What if he does not wake up?

God forbid.

What will we do, if something happens to my brother?

The dynasty's future is at stake, Ibrahim.

Send a message to Prince Mustafa.

There will be no need, Hatice.

His Majesty will recover.

-Ibrahim... -Do not be worried.

If the worst case scenario happens...

...I'll make sure Prince Mustafa takes the throne.

Your Highness.

Rustem Agha.

I came as soon as I heard it.

May God spare His Majesty to you and your kids.

Amen.

They are seeing red to the point that they decided to poison the Sultan.

Do you have an orders for me, Your Highness?

We have to wait Rustem Agha, wait.

I wanted you to be here too.

Keep your eyes and ears wide open...

...because these traitors are still in this palace.

Do not worry, Your Highness.

Your Highness?

I wouldn't want to talk to you about this, when you're in deep sorrow.

But we need to be prepared for every possibility.

If His Majesty--

Forget that possibility! Don't even think about it!

Your Highness...

...you have four princes.

We have to think about this, for their future.

Especially...

...Prince Mehmed is important.

Give the order, we'll take him to safety.

Mehmed.

Will the sun rise tomorrow, and maybe this darkness will remain forever?

But no matter what happens, there's a new life before you son.

What does it mean, Mother?

The one who tried to kill your father, will try to kill you too.

You must be brave on that day, you must stand tall!

You must take care of your brothers.

Mother, the sun will rise.

And when it arises, it will burn and blind the villains' hearts.

Those villains are here Mehmed, here.

They are waiting to destroy you and your brothers, but do not be afraid. I am here.

I will not let them do it.

I will not die until I see you and your brothers are happy.

No peace until that.

Suleyman, the Sultan of my heart.

My only hope in both worlds, only truth.

Cruel fate decided to torment me...

...and stabbed me with the daggers of separation.

It does not care about my tears and the day of judgement.

It took you away, my flower from the endless fields of paradise, from me.

My ease turned to burden, my youth to sorrow, my body to wither away.

Oh, Lord of all realms...

...my Joseph, my sweet faced, handsome Sultan.

I'll be a slave to God and beg him...

...that he does not take you from me...

...and show me your grace one more time.

God, don't turn this reunion into separation.

Don't make your subjects who love you, weep.

God, refresh his spiritual garden, make it lush green.

Save your subjects in that garden.

Do not give them misfortune.

O Almighty, do not shed his heart, like the leaves of the fall is here.

Do not break his branches of life.

Do not hurt those who seek your shelter.

Do not destroy the tree on which the birds of love nest.

Do not make them fly away.

God...

...do not destroy your work, do not break the candle of life.

Blind the villains and don't make them happy.

God, there's no worse feeling than separation in this world.

Do as you will, but don't split us.

Hurrem.

Suleyman!

God, thank you, you heard me!

You listened to my prayers. Suleyman...

What happened to me?

Poison.

They wanted to take your life.

They wanted to take you away from me.

Good morning, Mother.

To you as well, my lion.

Come, sit.

What's wrong?

You eyes are all red.

I could not sleep.

Had a dream...

...or rather a nightmare.

I hope it turns out good. What did you see?

I was in my chamber.

Then Ibrahim Pasha came.

He said His Majesty has fallen ill.

The sun began to shine so brightly.

Then I looked at the shadow of Pasha.

The pasha was without a head, Mother.

There was no head on his neck.

I've been thinking the whole night, what that means.

Son, do not think about the worst.

I hope this means something good.

Amen.

Mustafa, Ibrahim Pasha sent me a letter.

He wants us to be more careful from now on.

-Hurrem sent away Firuze. -How is that possible?

I don't know.

But this is Hurrem, she can do anything.

I talked to Taslicali.

He strengthened the security measures for you.

What does it have to do with me?

You're that viper's target, son.

If not today, then tomorrow, she will act.

It's one thing to slander you in the eyes of your father...

...she'll attack to take your life.

Good news, Your Grace.

His Majesty is recovering.

Thank God.

How is Selim, Bayezid and Cihangir?

They're fine, they don't know about this, I didn't want them to know.

Thank God.

The Almighty spared you to your subjects, Your Majesty.

I'm investigating the matter.

I'll find whoever did this and bring them to you!

Leave me alone with my family.

As you wish.

Your Majesty.

May God won't let us experience this pain again.

Ibrahim.

You should find the one who did it.

Otherwise, Hurrem won't miss this opportunity.

She will start blaming you and Mustafa.

Hatice.

Return to our palace, come on.

-Ibrahim... -Do not worry.

The truth will come out.

You gave us a fright.

We couldn't sleep all night.

As if months and years have passed.

My Mihrimah...

Smiling suits you better, wipe away your tears.

Father, how could this happen?

It was me who last saw you, you were perfectly fine

Mehmet and Mihrimah, this is enough.

Go back to your chambers, rest.

Hurrem.

Suleyman, you must sleep.

You must recover quickly and regain your strength and power.

My strength and power is you.

You brought me back to life again.

I did not do anything, Suleyman.

May God bless Lord Yahya.

What would I do if it was not for him.

What do you think, Your Grace? Who could have done it?

First we need to determine how His Majesty was poisoned, Nasuh.

This is not a matter of couple of days.

Someone wanted to take His Majesty's life slowly.

I am sure that he was poisoned for months.

Then it could be everything. A book, a clothing, something he ate.

I ordered everything His Majesty uses to be changed.

-Everything is being investigated. -I'd like to see, if you find anything.

Of course, of course.

Kiraz Agha!

Yes, Your Grace.

Tell Lady Afife, I want everyone who works for His Majesty's chamber.

Kalfas, guards and everyone are to be questioned.

As you command.

Who'd do this Rustem Agha?

If you know something, say it.

I don't know, Your Grace.

Whoever they are, they must have prepared an excuse.

Sultana Hurrem has a request for you.

That's why I came.

What is Her Highness asking of me?

Her wishes are my command.

She wants you to take charge of this personally.

I'll do my best.

But the investigation will be conducted by Ibrahim Pasha.

You talk to His Majesty.

And just ask to be assigned to the matter, it'll suffice.

Suleyman.

You are my sun.

My only light shining on my face.

I don't want a life without you.

I don't want this heart.

I pray to God that those who have done this to you...

...they'll never find peace in both worlds.

Whoever they are...

...they will pay with their life, Hurrem.

Do not look far, Suleyman.

I am telling you, your conscience should not cover your eyes.

That traitor is in this palace.

Who met with Prince Mustafa just the other day?

As soon as you came back, this incident happened.

Can this be a coincidence?

Suleyman, you enemy is clear.

Fear who you call your friend.

Take one of those!

This is better, it's warm.

Good God...

Bilal Agha have you been interrogated yet?

Of course they did. I was drenched in sweat.

Thank God, His Majesty recovered.

Or God knows what might have happened to us.

You are right, we would be the first to be executed.

Guards, do not be idle! Take these trays.

Nobody should stay hungry.

Where is Sumbul?

Her Highness is giving away gold.

He probably put half of them in his pocket.

Bilal Agha, go see him.

Don't let him take our share too!

Okay, okay.

That's enough! Good God!

Do not be afraid, there is a lot of gold. It's enough for everyone.

Gifts will also be given away. Desserts have been made.

Tonight there will be a great feast!

What is happening Agha, why does the Sultana give away gold?

She's expecting a baby?

Do not ask why...

Lady Afife..

What is going on here?

Sultana Hurrem is giving away presents.

In the honor of Sultan's recover.

Give me those.

Lady Afife...

Give me the other one too.

Oh! I forgot one here.

That's all.

I swear I was giving them all away.

-You start giving these away. -As you wish.

"I was giving them all away." Who are you fooling?

You probably wanted to share them with Seker Agha, huh?

Move! Or I'll take my anger out of you!

Demon!

Ibrahim.

What happened? Were you able to learn anything?

The investigation will continue for a very long time.

Whoever did it...

...they did not leave any traces.

Do not be sad.

You will certainly find that traitor.

What if I can't Hatice?

What if this blame sticks on me?

Did you see how His Majesty looked at me?

His Majesty knows that you are fully devoted to him.

He will never doubt you.

His heart will show him the truth.

Even Hurrem's whispers can not change that.

Suleyman, do not get up, you have to rest!

I'm fine.

I wanted to get some fresh air.

Hurrem, go back to your chamber, you're exhausted.

No, I want to be close to you.

My Hurrem.

My smiling face.

Oh my dream and my truth.

I swear to my heart that there is no one but my beloved...

...I won't love those you don't love.

If I do not spend my life for you...

...let my life be ridden with worry.

That it won't be rid of sorrow.

Let it be full of trouble.

If my eyes do not cry for you, let them be blind.

Let me see nothing again.

If my hope is not you...

...let it not be fulfilled.

Don't let it happen.

And let me filled with disappointment.

If I do not live only for you...

...if my life does not belong to you, I do not want such a life.

Let it be destroyed.

If my soul belongs to enemies, let them rise against their will.

Because my soul's only wish is to fulfill your dreams.

I do not want to live a single moment without you.

Because there is no one like you.

In this world, what beauty, whose beauty would not be...

...overshadowed by your beauty.

Everyone will be struck by your splendor.

Which Sultan, which ruler...

...would not be your beggar and slave.

I want to see Sultana Hatice.

Come in.

Your Grace.

You wanted to see me?

Lady Afife, did you interrogate everyone serving the Sultan?

Forgive me, Your Grace...

...but I can't report to you.

-What do you mean? -His Majesty...

...gave Ayaz Pasha the investigation.

Understood.

You can leave.

I swear to you, my only care is my daughter, Esmanur.

I want to see her.

You were already seeing her.

-You ruined everything yourself. -Forgive me, Your Highness.

You are also a mother, please understand me

I'm leaving soon, please, let me see her until then.

This matter is none of my concern, Nigar.

-This is the decision of Ibrahim Pasha. -Your Highness...

That is enough.

You can leave.

I will start the investigation immediately, Your Majesty.

-Your Majesty. -Come.

You can leave.

Your Grace.

Your Majesty, Lady Afife told me that you handed the investigation to Ayaz Pasha.

It is true.

Your Majesty, do you suspect me?

You are my life companion.

I entrusted you with my life all these years.

How could I suspect you?

There's one reason why I removed you from the investigation.

I want this investigation to clear you of suspicion, Ibrahim.

So no one can have the slightest doubt about you.

Girls.

Come here all, do not stand still, come.

Esmer, what do you have for us?

Whatever you want.

I got reds, redder than the fire.

My blacks are darker than night.

My violets are like grape vines.

My greens are like forests of Manisa.

-This one is beautiful. -You're right, it's beautiful.

It suits you very well.

You will not find such wares in the Grand Bazaar.

Girls. Be decent.

Esmer?

Yes, Lady Fidan?

Why did you come here today?

New wares have arrived, I wanted to show you.

This is not a tavern.

-Next time, I will not let you in. -Do not be angry, Lady Fidan.

I kept the best fabrics for you.

Girls, choose yourself, I have to go to toilet for a moment.

-Lady Fidan? -What are you doing here?

Nothing, I just lost my way.

I've been up all morning, I got confused, anyway...

You wait right there! Guards! Grab her!

Do not do it, I'm innocent!

And what is this?

We've been informed about the news you sent.

From now on, you must be even more careful. Don't expose yourself.

You have an important task to fulfill, soon.

Until that day, be closer to Prince Mustafa and Sultana.

Who did you bring this to?

Your Highness, I do not know, I just leave it there.

I do not know who takes it.

Who gave this to you, tell me!

I do not know them, someone else comes every time.

Tell me the truth and I'll spare your life!

This is the truth, Your Highness. I swear, I do not know them.

Since when have you been bringing these letters?

4-5 months.

You have been coming here for 5 months.

And you don't know who sent it or who's it meant for?

Is that so?

May God never let me see my child again, I swear, I'm telling the truth.

Lock her up in the dungeon! Let her think!

Maybe she'll remember there!

Your Highness, have mercy! Don't do this to me!

Hurrem got a spy, right under our noses!

What do we do, Your Highness?

Go put this in its place, let's see who picks it up, hurry!

I'm listening Lord Judge.

I wrote several laws that should be followed during Ramadan.

Take them now to His Majesty.

If he accepts them...

...an edict will be announced.

And let the criers read it at the market and bazaars after tomorrow.

As you command.

Lord Ebussuud.

What happened, woman?

People in front of the house are asking about you.

Who are they?

Janissaries.

They have news regarding Ahmet.

I'm worried. I hope nothing bad happened to him.

Open this door!

Let me out of here!

Father?

So you've fallen that low, huh?

Father, please, let me out of here.

Tell me what you did first.

-I swear I'm innocent father. -What do you mean innocent?

You destroy everything that gets in your way, you almost killed a man!

They pulled you away at the last moment.

They have witnesses.

They're pressing charges.

Father, get me out of here!

I can not stand it anymore!

You should have thought about it earlier.

You deserved t.

Your mother begged you so many times, huh?

I advised you for so long.

You didn't want to hear any of it.

I will not do it again, father.

I promise you, please get me out, I can't breathe in here.

Look what you put us through.

I'm ashamed for having a son like you.

What will I tell your mother now?

Everyone will find out soon.

-How will I walk among the public? -Father, you'll find a way.

It is my duty to condemn the guilty to prison.

Not let them go.

I couldn't tame you.

I hope these cold walls will.

Father? Father!

Why did she come here?

She wants see her daughter, Ibrahim.

She regrets what she did.

She should have thought of that before she kidnapped my child.

I do not think she will do it a second time.

She's suffering.

-Let her see her daughter. -Are you defending Nigar, Hatice?

I don't care about Nigar, Ibrahim.

But what is the child's fault?

Come in.

Your Grace, Lord Nasuh is here.

Let him in.

Your Grace, Your Highness, have a nice evening. Sorry to bother you but...

I'll be upstairs, Ibrahim.

Lord Nasuh.

Come Matrakchi.

Your Grace, isn't it revealed who poisoned His Majesty yet?

Ask Ayaz Pasha about that, Matrakchi. His Majesty gave the task to him.

How?

His Majesty thinks that this will help me get rid of suspicion.

-Suspicion? -Yes.

It's a punishment for a secret meeting with Prince Mustafa.

Then the incident happened right after it.

Why did you come?

The Judge's son Ahmet Celebi. He got himself into trouble.

What did he do?

Where's Ahmet?

Finally the worst of the worst happened, woman.

What happened to my son?

He is in the dungeons, he almost killed a man.

There are witnesses, they pressed charges.

Oh God!

Do something please!

Bring me my son.

I can do nothing.

He must be punished.

He must...

He must...

Mother, you wanted to see me?

I've been waiting for you. Where have you been?

The council took long. What is it about?

My Prince, with permission...

You stay too. You need to know about this.

We are in danger, Mustafa. There is a traitor in the harem.

-Someone who came to kill you. -What are you talking about?

I told you, we have to be more careful.

We must get rid of her as soon as possible.

How did you find out?

We caught a trader woman.

She's been carrying letters here for months.

Girl, what happened to you?

-You took the letter?! -What are you talking about?

Do not worry mother, we'll find her.

Your Highness, did anyone see this trader woman getting caught?

No, she was discreetly thrown into the dungeon.

Good.

The spy will come for that letter.

Come in.

My Prince, Your Highness...

What happened Fidan? Who took the letter?

I was waiting as you ordered, but someone struck me on my head.

When I opened my eyes, above me stood Diana and the letter was gone.

For God's sake, you can't do one thing!

Forgive me, Your Highness.

I do not want to blame anyone, but it could have been Diana.

No, that's not possible.

-I brought her here. -It can be anyone, My Prince.

How do you know that she did not plan to be here?

Taslicali, question that trader woman, let's see who she serves.

Get up woman.

Woman!

I'm talking to you!

How can you be so careless!?

How will we find that traitor now?

Your Highness, I do not know how it happened.

I found myself on the ground suddenly.

What's done is done, mother. Taslicali will get that woman talking.

That traitor has been among us for four or five months, Mustafa.

Only God knows what else she did.

Fidan warn Fatma, she is to stay with my grandson at all times.

Put another guard to the door.

As you command Your Highness, but we can't overlook Diana.

She must be questioned.

Do what I say, don't stand there!

Come in.

My Prince, Your Highness.

What happened? Did she talk? Did she give any names?

Unfortunately, My Prince.

Someone killed her, I found her dead in the dungeons.

The traitor we seek didn't want the woman to talk.

Find her family. She must have a husband or friends.

We will look for that spy without arousing any suspicion.

Let everyone be interrogated, especially those who came here within 6 months.

-As you command, My Prince. -And increase the security.

Suleyman.

I couldn't fall asleep.

-Why, what's going on? -I'm thinking about Mehmet.

It worries me that he is leaving for the province so early.

Think about it again.

He was fully determined when he came to see me.

He has full confidence in himself.

I could not refuse him.

Of course, this day will come, but not now.

He is too young.

Let him wait a few years, he will gain more experience.

He will gain the experience by ruling the province, Hurrem.

What worries you so much, Hurrem?

What if this is a scheme?

What if they want to separate you from Mehmet and I?

What if they want to destroy us, rendering us defenseless?

-Hurrem... -I'm very scared.

Those who poisoned you, God knows what they'll do to us.

Only God knows.

Wash away your fears.

Nobody, even myself, will do you any harm.

My Prince? Which province will you go to?

It's not decided yet.

But it will probably be Amasya.

You'll take me with you, right?

What kind of question is that? You are my harem.

You'll be where I'll be.

Residents of the city!

Hear ye! Hear ye!

It's the order of our Sultan.

During the blessed month of Ramadan...

...everyone must try to lead a correct life as Almighty ordered, more than usual.

Especially in the month of Ramadan...

...everyone will do their prayers together, with people.

Everyone who doesn't have commercial or state duties...

...as soon as the call to prayer is heard...

...will leave where they are and do the Teravih prayers in the mosques.

Those who do not join the prayers, will be punished.

This matter is more important as the Muslims will be fasting.

During the holy month, Bayezid mosque...

...and the other mosques who see large amount of visits...

...can not bother women in the streets and in the markets...

...walk next to them or do other such activities.

Mosques meant for women, where they can pray and listen to sermons...

...are forbidden to be entered by men, who are not workers of the mosque.

Lord Judge.

You have three cases that you must look over before the afternoon prayer.

The first of these is the problem of the land of Lord Solakzade Hikmet.

The other one is about inheritance.

They can not agree on the division of property..

Lord Judge, Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha is here.

Good morning, Judge.

To you as well, Grand Vizier, Your Grace.

There is a crowd of people waiting at your door.

You are busy, I will not take you much time.

Don't mention it, Your Grace, please.

I really wanted to meet your son Ahmet Celebi.

The opportunity just showed itself.

-He's not here, Your Grace. -I know that.

He came with me.

Ahmet Celebi!

Come here, closer.

It is forbidden to sit in the middle of the streets...

...or leave carriages, preventing the people from walking.

Women are forbidden to wear thin fabrics.

They will watch their behavior and clothing...

...at the markets, bazaars and streets.

They will return to their homes before the evening prayers.

Non Muslims!

You are forbidden from eating and drinking in public places during the day.

During the nights, no one is allowed to go out without a lantern.

Inhabitants, merchants and others...

...will clean their houses, residences, shops...

...doors, shutters, windows and grilles...

...from mud and insects. The streets are also to be swept.

No one is allowed to bother other people, disturb the peace.

Everyone should behave as the Islam dictates...

...and according to the orders and laws of the Sultan.

Those that show lack respect for faith, order and manners...

...those that doesn't know the difference between haram and halal...

...will be reported about their behavior.

And they will be punished accordingly.

We knew your son as a great teacher.

There were never complaints about him.

He does his duties well.

However, he has very bad habits.

Opium syrup, for instance.

Let Allah show the right path to those who went astray.

Amen, Amen.

After all, a man can not choose his children, right Judge?

Certainly true.

Some people's fathers become judges in Istanbul.

But to no avail. His son is a drunkard in taverns.

And some people have fisherman as a father, in Parga.

But his son becomes a Pasha of the Ottoman Empire.

Under this bridge, such waters will keep flowing, Your Grace.

What's important is, the character of that person.

If that character is solid, he'll find the right path.

And if character is weak...

...even if he's the ruler of the world...

...he'll go astray from his path.

-Ahmet Celebi. -Yes, Your Grace?

Your father is a respectable man. That's why I made sure you were forgiven.

But from now on, you must be more careful.

Do not ridicule such a distinguished family.

God forbid, no one should hear about it.

Otherwise it'll be real bad for you.

Look what you put us through.

I do not want a son like you.

Ahmet, my son!

It wasn't enough that you ridiculed yourself, you ashamed us too.

Then let me go. You will be rid of me.

Do not do it, he understood his mistake.

He won't upset us no more.

Get out of my sight!

Get out! Get lost!

Ahmet!

Your Majesty, you have honored my house.

Welcome. You brought us happiness.

Thank you Yahya.

Please sit, Your Majesty.

Come.

If you accept this, you'll give me great joy brother.

It's an honor for me to accept a gift from your hands.

How can I repay you? God bless you.

You came like an angel. Otherwise I'd be dead.

Thank Ibrahim Pasha, he personally found me, that's how I came so fast.

Zumrut Agha, aren't there any news of Taslicali?

Unfortunately not, I checked in the morning and there was nothing.

What happened to the letter? Did you send it?

-Yes, do not worry. -I hope no one gets hold of it.

Your Highness.

-I hope you feel well. -You take good care of it, Rustem Agha.

-It looks healthy. -Thank you.

-Would you like to ride it? -No, I...

Your Highness, let me help you.

Just be on top of it, I'll be with you. Zumrut Agha is here too.

-I do not know. -I'll keep the bridles firmly.

We'll have a walk with a slow pace.

-Okay? -You won't leave my side.

Don't worry.

Come on then.

Your Majesty, I see something is bothering you.

Did you learn something new about the poison?

No.

I had a dream Yahya.

That night before the accident

I hope it turns out good.

I was laying in my bed...

...suddenly a thunder burst and the storm broke.

I went to the terrace.

But I found myself in a forest.

In a dark forest.

Earth and trees, I walked for a while.

I saw my throne in the forest, Yahya.

Someone else was sitting on my throne.

Someone whose face that I didn't see, a shadow behind it.

The one sitting on the throne had a sword, bloody.

The shadow behind had a bloody sack in his hand.

Tell me brother.

What does this dream mean?

What are these signs showing me?

Your Majesty...

...you are facing important decision.

To make that decision, you're looking for a way.

What kind of decision is this, that I can't sleep?

Who and what is it about?

It's about those you've seen in that dark forest, Your Majesty.

Okay, but tell me, brother.

Is this decision good or bad?

Both good and bad.

The decision you'll make will relax you...

...and it will be the beginning of a deep sorrow.

Come in.

Your Grace.

What is it, Matrakci? What's the hurry?

Firuze did not go to Amasya as His Majesty ordered.

-How could that be? -Persians intercepted the carriage.

Either someone tipped them off or their spies had intel.

On top of everything, now this!

Firuze...

-Thank you Rustem Agha. -It's my duty, Your Highness.

Whenever you want to, just tell me.

Over time, all your fear will disappear.

That's what I want too.

Make way! Her Highness, Sultana Hurrem!

Mihrimah?

Mother.

Rustem Agha talked me into riding, we walked a bit.

Really?

Finally.

Next time, I should know about it.

Of course

Zumrut Agha, accompany the Sultana to her chamber.

Rustem, I have things to tell you, it's important.

Come in.

Your Majesty, Ibrahim Pasha is here.

Let him in.

Your Majesty.

I was told, you went out in disguise.

-Without regaining your strength-- -I wanted to take a walk.

Something happened?

News about Firuze arrived.

She did not get to Amasya, her carriage was intercepted by the Persian spies.

They will surely take her to her homeland.

It seems that my orders can't be fulfilled.

Your Majesty...

If that's all, you can leave.

Lord Yahya claims that the poisoning was not the work of a few days.

-Maybe it was-- -Do you think Firuze did it?

It's just a possibility.

If I acted on possibilities, everyone would get hurt.

Ibrahim Pasha poisoned His Majesty, collaborating with Prince Mustafa.

That's why they met in secret.

But Your Highness, they said the poison was given to him for months.

How do we know they're telling the truth, Rustem Agha?

I don't trust anyone anymore.

The agreement between the Pasha and the Prince is not something new.

They have been keeping in touch since the Prince's departure to the province.

-Their intentions are obvious. -We best wait, Your Highness.

After these incidents, His Majesty will fall out with the Pasha.

That's what I'm afraid of Rustem Agha.

Ibrahim will do everything to not lose.

We must act, as soon as possible.

What's on your mind, Your Highness?

Lord Yahya.

This was sent to you.

You can leave Agha.

I can not fall asleep in any way.

I still think about the moment we parted.

From now on, it is dangerous for us to meet.

If mother finds out, I'll worry about your life.

But you still want me to write.

It still makes me so happy.

Welcome.

-Have the children fallen asleep? -They have.

Ibrahim?

What's wrong?

I've been with His Majesty for years.

I survived a lot but...

...I've never felt so awful.

Ibrahim?

His Majesty thinks I tried to kill him.

Even if it's a small chance, that's what he thinks.

-Did he say something? -There's no need, it's obvious.

Today, I learned something about Firuze.

Persians took her back to her country.

I went to tell that to him.

Maybe it was her who poisoned him.

You're right.

She spent many years in the harem and she tricked us all.

How can we be sure that it is not her?

What did His Majesty say?

He did not listen, did not listen.

I don't know what Hurrem is whispering in his ear...

It's clear, that he believes her.

That is not possible, Ibrahim.

My brother would never believe it.

Come in.

Suleyman.

Welcome Hurrem.

I saw Mihriamah just now.

She said you were together.

Yes, we talked.

What happened between you and Mihrimah?

-Did she say something? -No.

I have not seen you together for a long time.

I just want to raise her worthy of our dynasty.

But she's neglecting her classes.

Did you ever wonder, why I love Mihrimah so much?

Because she reminds me of you.

She looks just like you.

There is no moon or sun like you, in my sky..

Beauties are your servants, there is no Sultan like you.

If loving you is a crime...

...it's you who took away my heart. It's not my fault.

My tears turned the neighborhood into a sea.

My path is impassable, I can't go there.

My tears made me wear a robe like a Sultan's.

I have the fire for my love on my head, don't think that I don't own a hat.

Even if Muhibbi's crimes are great, he doesn't lose hope on her.

If I'm a subject, she's my Sultan. I don't have any other gods.

Ibrahim.

Maybe you shouldn't go to the palace today? Is that okay?

Why?

We can take the children and go outside.

We can go to the hunting lodge.

You've been miserable for days.

It'll be good for you.

Fine then, we can stay there for a few days.

Come in.

-Your Grace. -Speak.

This arrived for you.

Ibrahim Pasha, I want to talk to you about the problems we have.

I hope that we will find a way to solve them.

I'm waiting for you at the construction of Cevizli Inn.

What is it?

Your Grace.

Her Highness is waiting for you inside.

-You stay here. -Your Grace...

I said wait.

As you command, Your Grace.

Your Grace.

-Your Highness. -Welcome Ibrahim.

What do you want to talk about?

You know very well what.

I know that you're collaborating with Prince Mustafa.

You want him on the throne, that's why you poisoned His Majesty, right?

This is a serious accusation.

Either you will prove it...

...or you'll be silent.

So you admit your crime?

Would you poison His Majesty?

What kind of question is that?

Do not be afraid, I'm not accusing you of anything.

Because I'm sure you wouldn't do this.

I'm just in the same situation.

Just as it's impossible for you to do it, it's impossible for me to do it as well.

Why then, did you meet with Prince Mustafa?

I answered this question to the Sultan.

Apart from him, I don't have to answer to anyone.

You made a mistake, Pasha.

Whatever you say, His Majesty will never be sure of what you discussed that day.

Just like me.

Did you call me here to talk about this?

Mehmet leaves for the province in the spring.

You talked him into it, didn't you?

Every prince wants to head for a province.

Your goal is clear.

You want my son...

...and me far away.

What will be your next move Ibrahim? To kill us there?

I thought you wanted to make a deal but--

True, true.

I want to offer you a deal.

You'll visit His Majesty today, hand over your seal...

...and ask to be relived from your duties.

After that, you'll leave the capital, never to return again.

And what do I get in return?

Your life, Ibrahim.

I'll spare your life.

This is my deal, the decision is yours.

The eagle and the pigeon can never make a deal.

The pigeon's always weak and helpless.

The Eagle can destroy it whenever it wants to.

These are your last words?

Last words.

Make way! Her Highness, Haseki Sultana Hurrem!

Your Highness.
