Execution?

What's the solution for this Hodja Celebi?

Your Majesty...

Give me a few days...

I'll think about this matter.

My Sultana?

You haven't slept yet?

I was waiting for you.

-You were gone when I arrived. -We've gone to the Teravih prayers.

I hope you had a nice iftaar.

How is His Majesty?

He came, right?

His Majesty didn't come.

Why? Did Something happen?

I do not know exactly. Maybe he was just tired.

-Snow is so nice! -Girls!

What are you doing here? Aren't you cold?

Move, move, move.

Make way! His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Get up!

I told you to get up!

Get up, get up!

What is your name?

He asked you what your name is.

Answer me child!

Cat got your tongue?

-What's your name? -I'm Ibrahim.

Son of a fisherman from Parga, Greek Manolis and Venetian Sofia.

My mother's little boy, my father's pride.

Taken from Parga as a 10 year-old. Ibrahim the convert.

What was my name? What language was it, what did it mean?

I forgot.

Forgetting is freedom.

Otherwise, your heart won't be free...

...the language you called yourself, the land you learned to walk.

I, Ibrahim. What does it mean to return? Where does one return to?

Where is that place he returns?

Is it possible to go back?

Or does fate always point forward?

Does that place you want to return wait for you?

Can you see it?

Can your heart act as a compass when you return?

Can you find the way home by using the same path you once did?

Or...

Are you still a convert in language and religion...

...no matter where you return to, change back to?

Water, water. Give him water!

Ibrahim.

You have not gone yet?

I'm going now. Something happened?

I need to tell you something.

I spoke to Shah Huban.

Told her about everything Hurrem did.

She must already know about it.

That is so, but she doesn't care.

I suggested that we have to act together but she didn't agree.

She told me, this was our problem, that we shouldn't involve her.

-Sultana Shah? -Yes.

She's acting strange.

Always with Hurrem. They're also really close.

Come in.

Hurrem?

-Welcome. -Thank you, Your Highness, thank you.

And how do you like the chamber? If you need something...

You took care of everything, Hurrem. Thank you.

I'll tell you if I need anything..

I'll join my foundation's iftar for the women tonight.

We can go together, if you wish.

It's so good that you do charity.

I'll gladly come.

Everyone say different things about me.

A witch, a sorcerer. They even say I have eyes on the back of my head...

I looked but did not see anything.

Your Highness, I am very grateful to you...

...for not listening to rumors and standing by me.

Envy and success are inseparable Hurrem.

Let them talk.

Whatever they say, you stick by justice and what's right.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I'll let you know about tonight.

Your Highness...

Good morning, Your Majesty.

To you also, Ibrahim..

Come.

I received the book I was talking about and I would like to give it to you.

Which book?

"Prince" by Machiavelli.

Your Majesty, we waited for you last night.

However you did not honor us with your presence.

I was worried if you were alright.

I wanted to stay alone. Sit down.

How should I deal with the fate of a man...

...whom I protected from myself? So I can both keep my promise to him...

...and also fulfill my decision.

-Ebusuud... -Speak, woman. What is it?

Sultana Hurrem is joining the iftaar of the foundation.

She invited me too.

Yes, I know about it.

I prepared the closed bazaar for the charity event..

...only women and children will be there.

Her Highness with her great heart do many charitable works.

How nice, how nice, huh?

What happened? What's the matter with you?

What of it? What?

You've been buried in your books all night.

Don't work so hard while fasting.

I have work to do woman. Don't keep me busy, off you go!

Monsieur Forest is afraid to even take this book in his hands.

They say the devil wrote this book.

Is it better that people love you, or scared of you?

What do you think is better?

It's a hard question.

Because sometimes we need both.

In Machiavelli's opinion...

It is impossible to see love and fear at the same time.

However if we have to choose one of two.

Being feared is safer than being loved.

True that..

But some people prefer to die with peace than to be safe.

Everyone wish to die in peace, Ibrahim.

But does such a thing exist? Is it possible?

Especially for people holding high positions like you and me.

Come in.

Your Majesty, Sultana Hurrem is here.

Let her in.

Your Majesty, sorry to bother you.

No bother, Hurrem, come.

Ibrahim Pasha gave me a book, we were having a chat about it.

How nice.

Your Majesty, I'll be joining my foundation's iftaar dinner tonight.

-If you'll let me, of course. -Of course, Hurrem.

Where will it take place?

The Judge proposed an indoor market.

Thankfully, he personally took care of the preparations.

Are you taking Mihrimah with you?

We'll go together.

As she'll manage the foundation more than me.

She must learn.

By the way, Sultana Shah will be with us too.

Your Majesty, if you do not have orders for me, then I...

You may leave.

Come, sit.

Yes, Your Grace?

Tell Sultana Shah that I want to see her.

As you command.

How do you feel Nurbahar? Are you in pain?

I feel fine, my Prince.

My pain is all gone, since you're with me.

Please. Stay a little with me.

I'm here.

Actually, I changed my mind about it, Nurbahar.

I wanted to prevent it.

But I couldn't make it in time.

That night I was very scared, my Prince.

-The night they took our child from me. -Night?

Wasn't the abortion in the morning?

We waited for the night, my Prince.

Sultana Mihrimah wanted it to be done at a quiet time.

Your Highness, your unique deep blue eyes is in my dreams day and night.

I pray to the Almighty.

That he'll hear my prayers on this holy Ramadan.

He'll pity this poor soul and let me see you again...

-Prince Mehmed is here. -Zumrut Agha, leave us.

Mehmed, what's going on? What's with you?

You know well what's going on.

Why did you lie to me?

Brother, calm down.

What are you talking about? I do not understand.

Do not play games with me.

Nurbahar had an abortion that night. The night I called you.

But you told me I was too late.

-Mehmed... -Don't you deny it.

The physician told me.

Yes, I lied to you.

When you changed your mind, she was still pregnant.

I had to make a decision.

I was either going to let you make a mistake.

Or I was going to prevent that mistake for your own good.

Who's asking for your permission? How dare you?

Mehmed, don't be emotional. This is what's needed to be done.

-I thought about your future-- -Don't Mihrimah!

How can you decide on my behalf?

I will never forgive you this.

Come in.

Sultana Shah Huban is here, Your Grace.

Let her in.

Your Highness.

Ibrahim Pasha. They told me that you wanted to see me. What's the matter?

The matter is...

...Sultana Hurrem.

As I have heard, you have become very close.

I guess Hatice complained about me.

I was just curious about your particular interest on her.

I know you hate her.

Feelings can change Ibrahim.

You can grow to like someone you disliked.

Or you can grow to dislike someone you liked, right?

And I think that Hurrem is no longer a threat to our dynasty.

She's doing charity work, raising her children well...

...and she is loyal to His Majesty.

Don't let her fool you.

We need to support each other to stand against her.

You are the Great Grand Vizier. You are mighty.

Are you asking for my help, because you couldn't deal with a woman?

Men's weapons are obvious, Your Highness.

It's where everyone can see.

However women are different.

They have secret armies.

You never know what you're fighting against.

If that's so...

...instead of giving me advice, stay away from women Ibrahim!

Your Highness!

I didn't intend to lecture you, Your Highness.

As it's not my place to do so, and you don't need it.

-I, just-- -Just what Ibrahim?

I see that your love for me turned into hatred.

Hate and love are very strong feelings.

I do not give you any of them.

And I never did.

And suddenly, a great tree with long branches crossed his path.

"Who are you traveler?"

"Where are you from? Where are you going?" the tree asked.

"I'm lost and looking for my palace" replied the Prince.

The tree leaned over and grabbed the Prince with its branches.

At that moment, a flock of birds started flying off from it's branches.

And they flew in all directions.

And then the tree began to walk...

-Your Highness. -Sumbul Agha.

Cihangir.

Nazli, bring my lion to his chamber.

But the story is not over yet.

My Prince, I'll tell it to you tonight.

Sumbul Agha.

Your Highness.

I just saw Sultana Shah.

They were having a chat with Ibrahim.

Pasha decided to set her against me.

Sumbul, you should know.

How is she getting along with Ibrahim? Will she be influenced by him?

Honestly, Your Highness, I do not think so.

Although... back in the day...

What? Speak.

We went to the palace of Manisa with our late Queen Mother.

Sultana Shah also went with us. We stayed there for a long time.

Then Ibrahim Pasha was the main falconer.

I used to always see them at the gardens, all day.

They would walk and talk endlessly.

Remembering is a secret worship for me.

To cleanse my sins, return to innocence.

I am now in this place, that changed my life.

And I'm watching my life.

Come on, let's go. Come on!

I am Ibrahim.

Get dressed.

Son of Manolis, born to Sophia, a convert from Parga.

I have not seen my mother's face for fifteen years.

I avoided the mirrors.

I searched for the traces of my brother, father and mother in my face.

While I was looking for them. I lost myself. And I could not go back.

There was no horizon.

I couldn't hold it's hands.

The violin that my mother plays is still in my ears...

...the notes I learned from her.

It's the only legacy from my childhood, from my homeland.

I'm thankful to you for not refusing me, Your Highness.

It was a pleasure, Hurrem.

You have conquered the poor with your good heart.

They are all talking about you.

Women were nearly fighting over to see you.

Your Highness, people had a false image about me.

As it was done on purpose.

It'll take time to change this false image but I'm determined.

Everyone will know I'm not a witch.

Good night, Hurrem.

To you as well, thank you.

Your Highness.

I want to see Mehmed.

The physician said everything is fine.

You will be on your feet in a couple of days.

You just keep holding my hand, all my wounds will be healed then.

Make way!

Your Highness...

Mother.

They told me you were here, so I got curious.

What happened to her?

Nothing serious, mother. She just caught cold.

-Get well soon. -Thank you, Your Highness.

-Forgive me for not standing up. -It does not matter. Keep lying.

-Did something happen mother? -Nothing. I just wanted to see you.

We'll talk tomorrow.

My Prince.

Nazli.

-Yes, Your Highness? -How is Cihangir?

He is with his brothers.

Good.

They say it was you who treated Nurbahar.

-Your Highness, I... -Speak!

What is this girl's illness?

She caught a cold like the Prince has said...

Don't lie! Cursed!

Tell me the truth! Otherwise, I'll kick you out of the palace.

I swear I'm blameless sultana. I just did what they ordered me to do.

Tell me everything from the beginning.

Your Majesty.

What is it, Ibrahim? Why did you come back?

I came to take some documents...

-You're here. -I was looking at your books.

I saw your violin.

You have not played it for a long time.

You closer to me than my brother.

Your Majesty...

I've always lived only for you. Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, do not be upset.

My mother taught me how to play this song.

I could only play it half way.

I know. I heard it in Manisa.

You played it the first day you came to my palace.

That's right.

Your Majesty.

Let's go to Manisa in the spring.

Together.

To reminisce the old days.

We shall, Ibrahim. We'll go in the spring.

My Prince.

Where is Nurbahar?

They took her this morning, my Prince.

-Which room is she in? -She's not in the palace, my Prince.

-They sent her away. -What are you saying?

-Who sent her away? -Sultana Hurrem.

-Mother, please listen. -Don't you utter a word!

I'll take my anger out of you!

What's happening mother?

-Why did you send away my favorite? -Like you don't know your crime.

It wasn't me.

You disappointed me very much, Mehmed.

I did not expect this from you.

-I just wanted to protect her! -I warned you from the beginning!

If you would have come to me still, I would have found a solution.

But you preferred to go behind my back.

Where is Nurbahar, Mother?

She's fine, don't worry. But you'll never see her again.

-She's not pregnant, let me-- -You were saying you grew up!

So you will have to accept the consequences of your actions.

Now go back to your chamber, Mehmed.

Go back to your chamber.

Mother, I just wanted to protect my brother.

First learn to protect yourself Mihrimah.

Both of you will learn to not hide any secrets from me.

You'll learn.

-Mehmed.. -Get out Mihrimah.

-Leave me alone! -I swear, I did not say anything.

What difference does it make? It's all your fault.

If you had not get involved, Mother would not have known.

-How long could you have hidden it? -Get out!

-Mehmed... -Get out, I said!

I do not want to see you anymore.

Your Majesty, Lord Ebusuud is here.

Let him in.

Your Majesty.

Welcome, Judge.

Sit down.

Did you not give the record of the meeting with the ambassador to His Majesty?

I did, Your Highness. He read it.

Then why is His Majesty still standing with Ibrahim Pasha?

Like nothing happened.

I also assumed that His Majesty would summon me and ask for further information.

But it did not happen.

If it was someone else, they would have lost their head a long time ago.

But Ibrahim Pasha is forgiven for everything.

Your Majesty, I have found the answer...

...to the question which you consulted me for.

What is it?

Execution of a man whom you protect even from yourself...

...is possible in only one way.

I'm listening.

This book is my interpretation, Your Majesty.

When I have time, I work on it.

With your permission, I'd like to read a verse from holy Quran.

Last night, I was with His Majesty, Nasuh.

We had a long conversation just like old times.

I thought I lost him for some time..

Especially after the poison incident.

But I was wrong.

I'm glad, Your Grace.

You needed this, after all that has happened.

That is so, that is so.

Friends and foes alike should know that, His Majesty stands by me.

No one can come in between us.

Our friendship, our brotherhood is eternal.

Your Majesty, sura Az-Zumar, verse 42 says:

"It is Allah, who calls back the souls of people upon their death...

...as well as the souls of the living during their sleep."

"Then He keeps those for whom He has ordained death...

...and releases the others until their appointed time."

"Surely in this are signs for people who reflect."

The great prophet, peace be upon him, proclaimed:

"When a person wakes up, he should say:."

"Thank the Almighty who gave me a soul and who didn't take it when I was asleep."

"Thank the Almighty who hold the skies and the ground together."

And then they asked the great prophet, peace be upon him:

"Do people sleep in paradise?"

And he replied: "No."

"Sleep is the sibling of death. There's no death in heaven."

"You die as you sleep...

...and you're resurrected as you wake up."

What does this mean?

Your Majesty, you should sleep. You should fall asleep.

When a man falls asleep, he breaks his bond with this world.

When he sleeps, he can not be held responsible for anything.

He can't be judged and accused.

As life is created with movement when you're awake.

A sleeping person is not really alive.

This way you can punish his disobedience...

..and you won't be breaking your oath.

Therefore, whoever is the man whom you have protected even from yourself...

...should be executed while you are asleep.

-Your Grace. -Speak, Mustafa Pasha.

Your Grace, Anatolian Lord Lutfi Pasha is here.

Finally, let him in.

-Your Grace, with your permission... -Stay.

-Your Grace. -Lutfi Pasha! Welcome to the capital.

We have been waiting for you for a long time.

I did not want to leave an unfinished business.

Of course. Is everything good for you?

Thank God. We have no problems.

Lutfi Pasha, welcome.

Thank you, Lord Nasuh.

Let's go, see the Sultan. He has been asking for you for a long time.

Sultana Esmahan, welcome. You've brought us joy and happiness.

Thank you, Lady Afife.

God praise! How grown up you are, I swear I couldn't recognize you.

How are you, Your Highness?

Thanks to God, I'm alright. How are you?

We pray for your health.

This way. Your mother is waiting for you.

Who are you?

Enter.

-Your Highness. -Speak Lady Afife.

Sultana Esmahan is here.

-Welcome daughter. -Thank you, mother.

How was the journey?

I thought it wouldn't end. I'm exhausted.

You welcome as well, Mercan Agha.

-We'll stay here for a time. -As you wish, Your Highness.

Lady Afife, Mercan Agha has been in my service many years.

Give him a place in the harem.

As you command, Your Highness.

Thank you, Judge.

You may leave.

As you wish, Your Majesty.

I hope I was of help.

Your Majesty.

Forgive me, I thought you were alone.

Ibrahim.

Your Majesty.

Lutfi Pasha has arrived, with your permission, he wants an audience.

Bring him in.

Your Majesty.

Welcome Pasha.

Praise be to Allah, who gave me the opportunity to see you again.

How are you? We have not seen each other since the Persian campaign.

Praise the Almighty. I pray for your health, Your Majesty.

Do you know Judge Ebusuud?

I've heard of him. It's an honor to meet such a wise scholar.

The honor is mine, Your Grace.

How beautiful you are.

You will break many hearts.

Thank you, Your Highness. Is Mihrimah around?

I want to see her too.

Yes, she's in her chamber. Nazli, accompany the Sultana.

Oh, there she is.

Mihrimah come, meet Esmahan.

-I have heard a lot about you. -Is that so?

-And what do they say about me? -They say you're very pretty.

I see, it is true.

A mansion has been allocated for you Lutfi Pasha. You will stay there.

Thank you, Pasha. However I would rather stay with my wife and daughter.

No, they're our guests here, in the harem.

Make way!

Your Highness.

I'd like to host you in my palace tonight, with Lutfi Pasha.

I'll be really happy if you came. His Majesty is coming too.

Okay, we'll come.

-See you then. -Your Grace.

-My Sultana... -Welcome.

If you do not mind, I would like to stay here in the palace.

Suit yourself, my Sultana.

Then see you tonight.

Mercan Agha.

Make way! Prince Mustafa!

My Prince, we would have prepared something if we knew you were coming.

Don't worry, steward. How is your wife?

She can't move much now.

But she's healthy.

-I'd like to see her. -Of course, my Prince. Please.

Please, come in.

Hanim Agha.

It's me, son of Sultan Suleyman, Prince Mustafa.

My Prince, forgive me.

There is no need.

I was hunting, I wanted to stop by and see how you are.

It's an honor, my Prince.

How is your health? I hope you are well.

Thank the Almighty.

It is as you see. Everything's the same but me.

So much time has passed.

Last time I was here, Ibrahim Pasha brought me.

I was young then, I can barely remember.

How is Ibrahim Pasha?

I hope he's well.

He is busy with state work.

I can't see him very often.

But we keep in touch, he's healthy.

Happy with his family.

Ibrahim...

It feels like yesterday, the day he arrived here.

Who would have thought that little boy...

...would be the Grand Vizier to the Ottoman Empire.

Esmanur.

Do you want to go out to the garden?

So tell me what you want?

Mother.

Your mother has gone to distant lands.

But don't be sad, she'll be back someday and you'll see her.

Look what I made for you.

Do you like it?

Shall we make it float?

Take it.

Your Highness.

This is enough Diana, thank you.

What is it, Fidan?

Lady Fatma is buried at the Sultana Hafza cemetery.

May God have mercy on her soul. May she rest in paradise.

Amen.

Keep your eyes wide open.

You saw what happened.

So much has happened because of a single spy.

Do not be sad, Your Highness.

Lady Ayse will give you a grandson.

I hope so, Diana

Fidan.

You're taking care of her, aren't you?

Don't leave her alone.

Do not worry, Your Highness.

Where is Mustafa? Isn't he back from the hunt yet?

He's not, Your Highness.

He used to play the violin greatly.

I've never heard anyone else play like him.

I grew up with his violin's sound.

Ibrahim used to make these.

He said one day he'll return to his mother with this boat.

He wanted to take me with him.

He always missed his homeland.

Ibrahim once went to Parga, but his mother died, he couldn't see her.

My Prince.

I have been keeping this for years.

I would be grateful if you would give this to him, when you see him.

Of course.

May God give you and Ibrahim a long life.

Amen.

Good job.

It's a magical boat.

It'll take you where you want to go. Tell me, where should we go?

To mother!

As you wish.

We will go to your mother.

Come in.

-My lion. -Mother.

I was worried, where have you been?

Do not worry about me. I'm fine.

I visited Saruhan farm on the way back, Hanim Agha wouldn't let us leave.

How is she? Is she okay?

She got really old but she's fine. She sends her regards to you.

I thank her.

She sent this for Ibrahim Pasha.

Her desire is to see Ibrahim Pasha before she dies.

She practically raised Ibrahim Pasha.

She loved him as her son.

I'm sure the Pasha will be delighted to get this gift.

I am Suleiman...

The one who became the hunter, without becoming prey.

The one who sets up his hunt according to star movement, like math, like art.

The one who looks at the map of hearts, from star maps.

The one who finds his way in the dark.

The one who hunts with his music.

The one who's struck by the strings of violin.

The one who found his other half, his friend, in Manisa, while hunting.

Suleiman whose loneliness was over.

Muhibbi says:

"Friend, I have sent my heart to you and it will never be able to come back to me."

My friend. If your arrow ever points to me...

...I'm not a man, if I don't puff out my chest for that arrow.

Oh my friend. You got my heart.

If now you want my life, I have forsaken my life and my mind for you...

My Prince!

My Prince, are you all right?

My Prince...

Pargali, I owe you a life.

Ask for anything you want.

My Prince. I would give my life for you.

Suleiman, are you alright?

Your Majesty.

I am very happy for your visit. It's an honor.

Why hasn't Beyhan arrived yet?

Do you know?

She should be here in a couple of days.

I missed her very much also.

You are...

...my Sultan.

But you're no longer my brother.

You're not my family.

Hurrem, let's go.

As you wish.

Your Majesty, you should have stayed a bit longer.

I'll come later.

We should also leave.

I will not let you go.

Your room is ready.

You and Lutfi Pasha will stay in my palace tonight.

Okay, fine.

What is it Suleyman? Are you ill?

You did not look good at the table.

I'm worried about you.

Do not worry. I'm just tired.

You saw Ibrahim Pasha, didn't you?

How happy he was, his eyes were filled with arrogance.

I can't comprehend how can you be close to him, after so many incidents.

I want to sleep, Hurrem.

God praise.

Ibrahim Pasha is exactly like they say about him.

Such a wonderful palace.

God praise.

He has a great fortune.

God praise.

He took over Iskender Celebi's property after his death.

He also receives many gifts.

I hope you don't talk like that around other people.

Do not worry, my Sultana.

I know well when to keep my mouth shut.

Then stay close to the Sultan.

You must join the council..

Because...

...I do not want to go back to Konya again.

It is impossible, as long as Ibrahim is in charge.

On the day I arrived here, he asked me when we were leaving.

Leave him to me.

Ibrahim Pasha...

He's at the top today.

However, Grand Viziers shouldn't be close to the Sultan...

...they shouldn't be carried away by their own power.

A Sultan being so close to the Grand Vizier...

...that he would even comes to his palace...

...does not look good on nobody's eyes.

God forbid.

We will see how long this situation will continue.

We'll see...

Do not laugh. I'll make it happen now.

Alright.

Wait.

Wrong.

Longer.

No matter how much I practice, I will never play it like you.

My mother used to put us to sleep by playing violin.

Niko would fall asleep in an instant. Instantly!

As I made him do all the chores.

The poor thing would fall asleep exhausted.

However me, I used to wait until the song is over.

Until my mother gets angry and says: "Theo go to sleep. It's late!"

You miss her, right?

Your Grace.

What is it, Judge? What brings you here?

I came to see Ayaz Pasha.

I'm waiting for him.

What's the matter?

I came to see him about Sultana Hurrem's foundation, Your Grace.

"On the hills of the capital surrounded by seven seas...

...and on three continents...

...my subjects will kneel before my statues!"

Ibrahim!

Pargali Ibrahim!

I killed an innocent man because of you!

I hope you'll have the same end!

I'm had no sin. Why didn't you prevent it?

They killed me for nothing.

Ibrahim has been having an affair with another woman for some time.

He even has a child with her. The woman is pregnant.

Do you know where Ibrahim Pasha is now?

He is meeting with Prince Mustafa in secret.

Apparently they are looking for a way to dethrone you.

Among all your work...

...how can you keep busy with Sultana Hurrem's foundation?

Your Grace.

Sometimes people don't see the truth, that's under their noses.

A wool is set before the eyes.

Charity, removes that wool from your eyes.

I recommend it to you as well.

Thank you.

Charity is good, surely.

But one should know what and whom he's serving.

Additionally, charity should be done quietly.

Many people like you think that I don't give to charity.

Right?

Do you know how many foundations I built?

I don't know, Your Grace.

Give me that.

Take a look at this foundation, Judge.

Please, see who did what.

I built a mosque and a lodge in Kumkapi.

Yagkapani Mosque at Galata.

In Mecca.

In Thesalonikki, in Razgrad, in Kavala.

Schools, madrasas, mosques, fountains, bathhouses.

And masjids in many towns.

Should I keep going?

Your Majesty.

You've summoned me?

Your Highness, this palace is wonderful.

-I adore it. -Did they show you around?

It's too big. So I couldn't see all of it yet.

Then we'll have a look together.

I would be really happy. Sorry to bother you.

It's nothing. I was bored anyway.

-Have you met the princes? -Yes.

I saw Selim and Bayezit. Cihangir too.

Prince Mehmed?

No.

Good. Let me introduce you to him.

My Prince.

Meet Sultana Esmahan, the daughter of Sultana Shah Huban.

My Prince. I finally get to meet you.

I didn't know you were here. How are you Esmahan?

Thank you, I'm fine. How are you?

I'm fine as well.

Perfectly fine.

I'm showing her around the palace. Would you like to join us?

I have work to do.

Maybe later.

Your Grace, His Majesty is not inside.

-Is he at the harem? -He's left the palace, Your Grace.

Your Majesty.

Come inside Ibrahim.

Your Majesty, I came to see you but they told me that you left.

I went for a walk.

I was riding.

I've come to give you my report on the campaign.

Come for iftaar tonight, we'll talk there.

Of course.

Do you want me to inform Captain Hizir as well? He should have things to say too.

There is no need. You come alone.

Having iftaar with you is the greatest of honors for me.

-If you do not have any other wishes... -No, you may leave.

-Father, when will we go? -In the spring.

We'll go to Edirne together.

We'll have plenty of time to see around..

I want to ride a horse.

Me too father! I want to ride too!

Alright, Osman.

I'm bringing special horses for you and your sister.

They'll be here tomorrow, we'll go see them.

My dears.

My Sultana.

I should go.

Do you really have to?

I thought we'd be together tonight.

I'll return after iftaar.

What's wrong?

I do not know.

I have a bad feeling.

It must be the weather.

Where did this come from?

You should have stayed with us tonight.

Sultan invited me personally. I can not make him wait.

I understand.

Come early tonight, okay?

Come in.

Your Highness.

Sumbul Agha..

Is it time for iftaar?

There is still time, Your Highness.

His Majesty sent me.

He invites you for iftaar.

Nazli!

Yes, Your Highness?

Prepare my blue dress immediately.

As you command, Your Highness.

Sumbul Agha, did you see Ayaz Pasha today?

I have not seen him today, Your Highness.

Why do you ask?

I don't trust anyone, anymore.

Maybe he also serves Ibrahim Pasha.

I don't think that's possible, Your Highness.

If he was an ally of Pasha, he wouldn't expose the negotiation records.

It has not changed anything.

His Majesty acts like nothing happened.

Maybe he didn't give him the records at all.

Sumbul we have to be careful.

Something stinks here.

This silence is not a good sign.

Your Majesty.

Come Pargali, sit down.

Your Majesty.

Your Grace.

Welcome Gulfem.

-Good evening, Your Highness. -Come, sit.

His Grace is not here?

His Majesty invited him for iftaar, he went there.

Father chose horses for us Gulfem. We'll see them tomorrow.

May God accept our fasting.

Your Majesty, according to Captain Hizir, our navy will be ready by April.

Good.

I sent news to Lord Malkocoglu Bali.

As you know, Lord of Moldavia didn't give his tribute.

Malkocoglu will talk him personally. We'll see what his problem is.

How is Malkocoglu?

I'm getting his news, Your Highness.

He's fulfilling his duty on the border, properly.

Such a loyal and brave man is not found easily.

That's true.

I visit Ayse every day.

Her pregnancy is quite healthy.

May God protect him from evil eyes.

Amen.

I pray that a son will be born to you.

Let's hope mother.

Hurrem will rejoice for the death of Prince Suleyman.

Let's send another letter.

Let all know your favorite is pregnant.

We will have another prince.

Mustafa. A son is very important for a crown prince.

Although as long as Ibrahim Pasha is with us...

...and as long as he is backing you, no one can defeat you.

You knew Sultana Shah from before, just like Sultana Hatice, did you not?

Yes, it's true.

However, I have not seen her for many years.

Therefore, whoever is the man whom you have protected even from yourself...

...should be executed while you are asleep.

Your Majesty, before the start of the campaign...

...I would like to go to Edirne with Sultana Hatice and the children.

If you give your permission.

Pargali, of course.

Your Majesty, I'd like to return to my chambers, Cihangir was a bit restless.

May he get well soon. Is he okay?

Nothing serious. But I wish to see him. Your Majesty...

You may leave.

Your Majesty.

Your Grace.

Your Highness.

Ibrahim again became the favorite Pasha of the Sultan!

No matter what I do, it doesn't change.

Did he say something to upset you?

I am looking forward to the campaign of Italy.

I dream of entering Rome.

We'll make our dream from Manisa come true.

Rome!

Rome.

Pargali, I won't die before I conquer as much as Alexander...

...before I show the glory of the Ottomans to seven continents.

You'll see Ibrahim, you'll see.

We will achieve this together.

You have the treasure of my dreams and passions.

You protect me and I'll protect you, as long as I live.

Your Majesty, thank you for the dinner.

Enjoy Pargali.

I should go, if you will.

He ordered to be called the Sultan and not Pasha..

Apparently, they're looking for ways to dethrone you.

Your conscience has blinded you. He has his eye on your throne.

I rule this great empire!

Ibrahim!

Stay here tonight, in your room.

I am Ibrahim.

Ibrahim the convert who were brought here from Parga at the age of 10.

Ibrahim, who became the falconer of Prince Suleyman at 17...

...at 25, private chamberlain of Sultan Suleyman...

...at 28, the Grand Vizier of the Sultan. Sharing his power with him.

Ibrahim, who always carries heaven and hell in him.

Friend to his own demon, ally to his Lord's seat.

But always on guard.

Loyal guard of the door to Purgatory. Ibrahim The Slave.

Always in Sultan Suleiman's private life, in his secrets...

...but on the border.

Ibrahim who watches his own funeral, in the eyes of his Sultan.

Ibrahim, who runs to death, as he looks into Sultan's eyes.

Ibrahim, whose funeral was ignored.

-Hasn't the Pasha returned yet? -No, Your Highness.

Oh sleep...

Whichever house you go to, whichever community you go to...

..that community will be scatter, it will lie in ruins.

Don't visit us tonight.

Do not ruin this community.

Tonight, we're feeding off it's beauty that dazzles the faces.

Oh eyes!

Tonight, you're watching his beauty with great admiration...

...and you couldn't sleep for it but you're not upset.

You're not regretful.

I swear on the night that covers us all with darkness.

No way! Oh sleep, be gone!

Begone and get hundreds of gifts, from people who can't sleep...

...from their hearts filled with love for God.

If justice is sleeping, if everyone is asleep, how sad...

Let them sleep.

Thank God that you did not sleep last night, oh my heart.

But tonight, you're worse than last night.

More sleepless than last night.

I am the same as the moon.

I won't sleep.

I'll keep talking until the morning.

Oh friend, who's close to ones who miss their loved one...

...open your heart's eyes tonight and see me, listen to me.

The moon has become my witness.

The stars, my army.

Oh the moon!

Tonight, protect me from the arrows of the stars.

Ibrahim!
