Original subtitles

I'm Ibrahim.

Ibrahim who learned to swim in deep waters.

The one who bleeds his heart when he gets no answer.

Among these stars, in countable and uncountable numbers.

In numbers and letters, on the summits of mountains.

In the dark depths of caverns...

...looking for fear in the eyes of the powerful.

Ibrahim, who burns again and again with every answer he gets.

Ibrahim who's burning in his own hell, depraved of cool sleep.

Ibrahim. Ibrahim of Parga.

My main falconer. My chamberlain.

My Grand Vizier.

My Lord of Lords.

My commander.

My hunting companion.

My travel companion, my confidante.

I have already given you my heart.

It's impossible for it to return to me.

Your Highness.

I'm sorry to bother you.

What happened? Speak.

Oh, God protect us! Protect us, God!

Sumbul Agha?

I have to see Sultana Hurrem.

Hope it's good news.

At such a late hour.

It's none of your business! Wake the Sultana, quick!

Not now, Agha.

Say what you want to say in the morning.

God, give me patience!

-Wake the Sultana. -Nazli?

What's going on there?

Your Highness, Sumbul Agha is here.

He has something important to say.

Beyhan?

Hatice.

Welcome.

I didn't want to wake you and bother you but...

You don't bother me.

I especially wanted them to wake me when you arrive.

-How do you feel? -How can I feel, Hatice?

I'm fine.

And how are you feeling?

-I hope you are healthy? -I am also fine.

Thank God. Besides Hurrem I have no other problems.

Okay okay.

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Sumbul, what's the matter with you?

-Is it my children-- -Thank God, your children are fine.

But I saw such a thing just now...

...I swear the earth will tremble!

Sumbul Agha. Tell me what happened.

Everyone out.

Ibrahim Pasha.

Finally His Majesty's wrath fell upon him.

"Be and it is!"

What are you talking about? How?

I saw the executioners, carrying Ibrahim's Pasha's corpse.

Sumbul Agha. Are you sure it was Ibrahim Pasha?

I saw it with my own eyes, I swear!

It was Ibrahim Pasha.

We were missing you, Your Highness. How was your trip?

Very tiring.

But I am so glad to see you. All good and healthy.

-Your room is ready. You should rest. -Thank you.

I'll sleep in a bit.

Hatice. Where is Shah Huban?

Is she here?

No. She preferred to stay with Hurrem.

You should see them.

They're very close.

No way.

Unfortunately, it's true, Your Highness.

Ignore it. She must be onto something.

How is Ibrahim Pasha?

Bad days are in the past, Beyhan.

Thank God, we're happy again.

He gets along with His Majesty too.

I'm glad to hear.

May God protect your family.

Amen.

Oh my secret treasure in every heart.

Oh my pearl bead in every heartbreak.

My hidden wing, on every wingless birds.

Oh, my reflection in my heart.

My meaning in images.

My sweetheart, my Sultana.

I want to melt away, crying for love.

My wish is to become one, not two.

My heart is in ruins, all my wings are broken.

I'm flying to the horizon.

My eyes are blind.

My ears are deaf.

My path leads only to love.

Isn't it love which makes it rain...

...turning water into clouds, then clouds to rain.

...reuniting love with the earth, penetrating...

...into every seed, then exposes itself?

Doesn't the earth tremble like crazy, when lovers reunite?

Oh my love! Oh my sultana.

As I'm in love with you, water's in love with earth.

It doesn't mind the sun's heat...

...it doesn't mind it revolving with love...

Even if it turns into steam and rises to the heavens, it knows when to return.

It waits patiently.

The wind will blow. The thunderbolt will flash. The cloud will weep.

And water will return to its beloved.

And the whole universe witness the reunion of the lovers.

Make way!

Ibrahim.

Ibrahim!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Let go!

Your Highness, please come, I beg you!

Let go! Let go!

Alright, alright.

-Your Highness. Calm down. -Let go! Let go!

Alright, Hatice.

Ibrahim! Ibrahim!

Ibrahim!

Ibrahim.

Come in.

Your Majesty.

You have sent for me.

Come closer, Ayaz Pasha.

Gather the divan immediately.

All the pashas are to be present.

-Pasha was killed. -Who did it?

-Ibrahim pasha is dead. -He's gone.

Make way!

-Your Highness. -Mercan Agha?

What's with these concubines?

I do not know if it's true but...

But they say that Ibrahim Pasha has passed away, Your Highness.

Do you hear what you say?

Everyone talks about it since the morning. The rumors are spreading.

-Your Highness. -Afife Hatun?

Is it true?

-Ibrahim Pasha? -It's true, Your Highness.

May he rest in peace.

May God grant Sultana Hatice and her children patience.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I was on my way to give you the news but...

...I see that you have received the bad news already.

How did this happen?

It was His Majesty's decision, Your Highness.

Ibrahim.

It's a nightmare...

...right?

Hatice.

Ibrahim lives.

Right?

Tell me he's alive. Please.

-Let go, let go. -Hatice.

Hatice..

Let's go, come on.

Come on.

Where is he?

Hatice, let's go.

-Where is he? -Come on.

Do not do this please!

Where is he?

It's okay.

Where is he?

It's okay, Hatice.

-What did you do to him? -Please do not do this!

Let's go, come on.

Your Highness, where are you going?

Gulfem stay with the kids.

My Hatice!

Sister.

Open the door.

I can't, Your Highness.

I said open it!

Guards!

You didn't do it..

Right?

You did not kill Ibrahim.

Why are you silent?

Say something.

Say you didn't do it.

Say you didn't kill him.

He is my friend.

Brother.

My comrade.

Say how could you do it!

Speak!

Say something.

How could you kill Ibrahim?

You killed him but how could you kill me?

He was my life.

He was everything to me.

Father of my children.

My Hatice.

Who are you?

You can't be my brother.

My brother has a good conscience.

He is just.

Not cruel.

Sister.

Let me go!

Don't you touch me!

I am not your sister anymore.

Looking in your eyes...

...do you know whom I see?

Our father.

You will bury Ibrahim, Matrakchi.

But bury him in such a place, that no one shall know his grave.

Including myself.

I can't comprehend, how could this be?

His Majesty really trusted Ibrahim Pasha.

For 14 years, he trusted him with everything as his sole representer.

Yes, how did it happen? Why was he executed?

And why all of a sudden?

We'll never know what happened.

But apparently he deserved such a sentence.

As if His Majesty had made such a decision...

...it must be right.

It's not our place to question it.

I wonder how Sultana Hatice is doing.

May God give her patience.

Ibrahim Pasha was not an ordinary man.

Such a great statesman having a death like this...

There are many Pashas and Lords of this state.

One will go, another will come.

May God give your father a long life for his nation.

-Amen. -Amen.

Hurrem!

Hurrem!

Hurrem!

-Hatice please.. -Your Highness, don't do this to yourself.

Hurrem!

Hurrem!

You wait here.

This is not the place for it, please.

What can I say, Pasha.

May God forgive his sins. May he rest in paradise.

Amen, Judge.

But you are not too surprised by this decision.

Ibrahim Pasha's demeanor was known to all, Pasha.

This was inevitable.

Today is a dark day.

A precious statesman such as Ibrahim Pasha...

...such a brave commander...

...we'll never see his like again.

You're right, Pasha.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

But what happened all of a sudden, Pasha?

Do you know anything?

No, Pasha.

But yesterday His Majesty met Ayaz Pasha.

And the incident happened that night.

Your Highness.

I wish you patience from God.

My condolences.

Ibrahim died because of you.

Because of your lies...

...your slanders.

Your Highness. I understand your pain.

But I--

God damn you!

-Hatice! -Your Highness!

I curse the day when you came to this palace!

Your burned and destroyed everything!

Hatice.

Your Highness, I have nothing to do with this incident.

It's His Majesty's decision--

He died because of your plots!

Because of your lies!

Let me go. Let me go.

But I swear it.

I won't let you live in peace, from now on.

I will be onto you Hurrem!

Just as I now burn in hellfire, so will you!

You will be begging me to kill you!

You can return to your chambers, Hurrem.

What they say is true.

Grand vizier, Ibrahim Pasha, was executed by strangulation last night.

That infidel Ibrahim Pasha finally got what's coming to him.

They say that his corpse was thrown before the idols in his garden.

That he'll be buried without funeral.

Until this day...

This infidel who we called the "The Favored Pasha"

...is now the "Dead Pasha".

Do you know anything, Lutfi Pasha?

Why was he executed?

His Grace deemed it appropriate, Pasha.

It's not our place to question it.

Of course. I wouldn't dare.

Actually, it's a miracle to be in that position for so long.

The Pasha had many enemies.

He must have made some mistakes too.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not make such a decision.

Regardless, Pasha...

Ibrahim Pasha was a great statesman...

...with many victories and achievements.

He should have at least had a funeral--

Mustafa Pasha.

Why are you silent?

Continue.

On a sorrowful day like this...

...all should be silent.

Ayaz Pasha.

Sultan Suleyman Khan!

According to what we heard, Ibrahim Pasha...

...was executed by the order of the Sultan.

Who else would dare?

I told you.

Ibrahim pasha was overshadowing the Sultan.

Power doesn't accept shadows.

What now, Monsiuer Forêt?

We've been negotiating with the Grand Vizier for months.

We were close to a deal.

This is bad for us.

Ibrahim Pasha was a rational man.

And he was close to our world.

Now, maybe it'll be impossible to even talk to the new pasha.

Who will take his place?

It's hard to guess what's on Sultan Suleyman's mind.

We'll wait and see.

As you already know...

...The Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha has passed away.

May God forgive his sins.

Therefore.

It's my will.

To the position of Grand Vizier, left from Ibrahim Pasha..

...according to chain of command, I appoint Second Vizier Ayaz Pasha.

I have no doubt that you'll duly fulfill...

...your duties as my sole representer.

Your wish is my command.

You've made your subject happy with this duty, Your Majesty.

Ibrahim Pasha's fate should be a...

...lesson to you and to all the statesmen.

In addition. I appoint Lutfi Pasha to Rumelia Governorship.

Ayaz Pasha. What do you say?

Lutfi Pasha is an experienced Governor.

The Anatolia provinces he's in now is close to Rumelia provinces.

You've bestowed upon me this task. I'm bound to you, Your Majesty.

-Hizir Hayreddin Pasha. -Yes, Your Majesty.

Preparations for the campaign of Italy will continue without change.

There should be no delay building our fleet.

As you command.

Judge.

How goes the new legislation?

Your Majesty. Due to the month of Ramadan...

...the committee has taken a break from the work.

But we'll continue after the festival, God willing.

The law is important.

A meticulous work, without any haste is a must.

Any news come from Lord Of Bogdan, Raresh?

We've sent a message to Malkocoglu Bali Bey.

He'll talk to Raresh personally and report to us.

That scum Raresh must have Charles' support or he wouldn't dare do this.

He'll either pay his tribute or we'll have his head.

Your Highness.

Sumbul Agha.

Your Highness.

Ayaz Pasha was appointed as Grand Vizier.

From now on, nobody will oppose you in the Divan.

I warned him, Sumbul.

Countless times.

But Ibrahim Pasha preferred to fight me...

...and eventually one of us had to lose.

I'm glad I'm not the loser.

Did you send word to Rustem?

He should come immediately, we need to put him in the Divan.

I called him Your Highness, don't worry.

In addition, husband of Sultana Shah, Lutfi Pasha...

...was named as the Lord of Rumelia.

Good.

Tell him I said congratulations.

Additionally, I expect a detailed report about him.

As you command, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I swear I still can't believe it.

It feels like Ibrahim Pasha can appear at any moment.

Sumbul.

This is my victory.

My victory.

As I promised before, my enemies are...

...paying the price for what they did to me!

Forget the harem.

Soon the whole world will bow before you.

You will rule the world!

Esmanur.

My unfortunate one.

She's crying for her dad since morning.

When will the pasha come?

The Pasha will not come, woman.

Pack Esmanur's belongings.

-But-- -I said, pack her things!

Hatice.

Life is so cruel.

Both of us met the same fate.

I understand your pain.

You can't understand, Hatice.

One day if our brother...

...will execute your husband too.

Then you'll understand.

I know it's hard...

...but you have to endure.

You're not alone.

You have children.

You are responsibilities for them.

Your Highness.

Huricihan and Osman want to see you.

Children.

Huricihan.

Where's dad?

What happened to him?

He is in paradise now.

He's in paradise.

-Kudret Agha. -Yes Nasuh Effendi.

I entrust Esmanur to you.

You will protect her like your own.

Don't come back before handing her safely to Ibrahim Pasha's family.

Do not worry.

Explain the situation to them.

They should run back to their country.

As you command.

Esma, farewell.

Godspeed.

Sir. Those who caused the pasha's death with...

...slanders and tricks, they will pay for this, right?

If not in this world, then eventually in the other one, Kudret Agha.

They'll pay for it one day, surely.

Your Majesty!

Have you ever burned with fire because you lost someone?

Have the flames engulfed you and roast you?

Did it turn into a smoldering ember?

Did that smoldering ember sear you heart?

Did it cool down?

Then did it turned into a white flame?

Ibrahim.

Why did you go?

Why did you leave me?

I did not leave you.

And I won't.

My heart's on your side.

Beloved.

The one who killed me with his absence.

My whole existence is your reflection.

I saw your reflection.

I smelled the rose.

I heard your call.

You whispered to my heart.

You said: "Oh Beloved!"

"Oh my Sultana!”

I want to melt away, crying out for love.

I want to be one, not two.

Oh my love!

The one who reveals himself in my heart.

My only wish it to be with you again.

My Hatice! Hatice...

What are you doing, Hatice?

My Hatice.

I can't take it anymore.

Sister.

Don't let yourself go, please.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Believe me.

Hurrem who has brought this suffering to you...

...will pay the price.

Believe me.

Promise me.

Promise.

May God who created the heavens be my witness.

The one who brought blood and death to this palace...

...will leave with blood and death.

Ayaz Pasha, you have been promoted to the highest position there is.

May God let it continue.

His Majesty graced me, Your Highness.

I'll try to be worthy of him and you.

Ayaz Pasha, I do not doubt it.

We need trustworthy people in the Divan.

People who will support you and watch out for our interests.

That's why I called Rustem Bey.

I want him to see him as a vizier in the Divan.

What do you think?

Your Highness. I can not decide about this.

Because only His Majesty can make such a decision.

As the Grand Vizier, you will nominate Rustem.

His Majesty will certainly take this into account.

Of course. I'll deliver your wish.

But do you think Rustem Bey is appropriate?

He's only become governor.

None can be a vizier before being a Lord of Governors first.

And Rumelia Lordship is given to Lutfi Pasha.

His Majesty might think his experience is insufficient.

Ayaz Pasha. You'll recommend him to His Majesty.

I've no doubt you will be able to convince him on this.

As I...

...want to see Rustem in the Divan.

Your Highness.

Ayaz Pasha, will you argue my decisions on the first day?

Of course not Your Highness, I wouldn't dare.

Then do as I say.

What goes around comes around, Sumbul Agha.

Ibrahim Pasha drowned in the blood he spilled.

Exactly a year ago.

He made His Majesty execute Iskender Celebi unjustly.

Yes.

You're right.

Iskender Celebi was a very important person.

I remember that night like yesterday. It was Ramadan again.

His Majesty cursed the Pasha.

Ibrahim.

Ibrahim of Parga.

I have killed an innocent man because of you.

I hope that you will also have the same end!

He wished the same fate upon him, a year ago.

When did the Pasha die?

Exactly a year later.

During Ramadan again.

My God.

That means, His Majesty...

It's clear, His Majesty made up his mind long ago.

Make way!

Haseki Sultana Hurrem!

-Your Highness. -Rustem Agha.

Ayaz Pasha will be coming in a moment.

I explained the situation to him.

You will become a Vizier and sit in the Divan.

But you should talk to him as a formality.

May God protect you Sultana.

Sumbul Agha.

Nigar Hatun?

You.

What's going on?

Rustem is here.

We came together.

He was summoned by Sultana Hurrem.

Apparently he will be Vizier.

You know what they say, "The feet have become the head".

Shame.

Our Empire is in the hands of these scoundrels.

Grand Vizier, Your Grace.

-Welcome to the capital, Rustem. -Thank you, Your Grace.

I want to congratulate you first for becoming the Grand Vizier.

May it be blessed.

What's happening?

Why did you leave your province without informing me?

I couldn't send word as the Sultana personally invited me.

I like you.

You're very brave.

But too much of anything is harmful.

Can't argue with that.

I'll recommend His Majesty that you should...

...be made Vizier with the rank of Pasha.

If he deems it appropriate, you'll be in the Divan.

I'll be honored.

But don't forget.

Every rank you gain, brings you one step closer to death.

Then you must be closer to death than me, Your Grace.

I couldn't sleep since the day I got the bad news..

Feels like the world comes crashing over my head.

There's no cure for death, Nigar Hatun.

If not today, then tomorrow it will come for all of us.

I went to the residence to see my daughter.

But the doors are chained, there's no one there.

Where is Esmanur?

Where is my daughter, Nasuh Effendi?

Is she...

Your daughter is alive, woman. Do not worry.

Thank God. Where is she now?

I sent her away the day Pasha was executed.

I sent him to Ibrahim Pasha's family.

Why Nasuh Effendi? Why didn't you send her to me?

How could I, when there's that dog Rustem...

...who caused the Pasha's death?

You wouldn't be able to protect Esmanur.

I saved her life.

-Nasuh Effendi. -This is for the best.

Let some time pass.

One day I'll send you to her.

They say, Ibrahim Pasha doesn't even have a grave.

It's what they say.

Make way! Prince Mustafa, His Highness!

Sultana.

Mustafa.

-Don't leave me, please. -Where did this come from?

How could I leave you?

I feel like I'm in a dream.

I'm afraid to wake up and lose you.

Lutfi Pasha, I hope you're fine.

Congratulations on your Rumelia Lordship.

What are you doing here, Rustem?

I thought you were at Teke.

Grand Vizier Ayaz Pasha called me.

It must be important as you've come all this way.

Surely. Ayaz Pasha said he wants to see me in the Divan.

Is that so?

I don't want high positions, Pasha.

I just want to serve this great state, doesn't matter where and how.

Good.

May it be blessed.

I'm taking care of the preparations...

...for the campaign personally, Your Majesty.

If that's all, you may leave.

There is something else, Your Majesty.

I summoned Teke governor Rustem back. As you know...

He's a capable person who served you and the state greatly.

When he should've been appointed to a Lordship...

...he was only appointed as governor by the former Grand Vizier.

With your permission, I would like to appoint him as a vizier in the Divan.

Come in.

Your Majesty. Prince Mustafa is here.

Let him in.

You may leave, Ayaz Pasha. We'll finish our conversation later.

Your Majesty.

My prince.

Your Majesty.

Welcome, my lion.

Grand Vizier, Your Grace.

Call Shah Sultana immediately!

Tell her it's urgent.

Mustafa.

I was very saddened by the loss of Prince Suleiman.

May God give you patience and may you...

...never suffer your child's death again.

Amen, Your Majesty.

Thankfully, I hear that you're having another child.

May God grant him long life.

How is Mahidevran?

Is she healthy?

He is now with Sultana Hatice.

That's why we decided to come.

It would be good if we could soothe her pain and despair.

Your brothers were missing you, have you had a chance to see them?

Your Majesty.

I'm really curious...

What did Ibrahim Pasha do that he was suddenly struck by your wrath?

Go see your brothers, Mustafa. They really missed you.

My intention is not to argue about your decisions, Your Majesty.

I just want to understand.

I want to know why you did it.

Did Ibrahim Pasha do something we don't know?

My Mustafa.

My lion.

Power is a shirt made of fire.

If you can wear it with loyalty, it'll protect you and destroy your enemies.

However.

If you get carried away by pride..

...and lose yourself in desire...

...then that shirt will burn you to ashes!

Your Highness.

What's going on, pasha? They told me that it was important.

I ran into Rustem.

Ayaz Pasha called him. He wants Rustem to be a vizier.

Ayaz Pasha has no gain in this.

It's Hurrem's doing.

Because Rustem is her most loyal servant, I hear.

Praise be. Then Ayaz Pasha is also serving Hurrem.

Yes.

The Pasha's untimely death was to his advantage. He became the Grand Vizier.

He was with His Majesty just now. It's clear they talked about this.

If we don't do something now. Rustem will be a Vizier.

Then we will have to leave the capital, God forbid...

I will not allow it!

I hope so, sultana!

Then you should hurry as it's my right to be in the Divan.

Position of vizier is given to Lord of...

...Rumelia as the chain of command dictates.

Prince, your highness.

My prince.

My Sultana.

-How are you Mustafa? -Not good, Sultana.

Latest incident has grieved us deeply.

These dark days will pass, my lion.

Keep a cool head.

Dawn will come eventually.

Your Majesty.

Why did you come?

Are you curious too?

Do you want to learn why I gave the order...

...or do I regret it or not?

I wouldn't dare.

No one can challenge your decisions.

You are the Sultan of the world.

You know what is good for our dynasty and the Empire.

You make decisions according to that.

How is Hatice doing?

She is in deep mourning.

She does not eat anything, does not drink.

Talks to no one, locked up in her palace.

Her pain is still fresh.

She'll pull herself together as time passes.

She hates me.

I lost her like I lost Beyhan.

They'll understand you one day, Your Majesty.

What matters is the Ottoman Dynasty.

No one is more precious than our dynasty, and no one can be.

Shah Huban.

Sister.

I remember our mother when I look at you.

Not only your beauty but your behavior is like her.

You have her strength, wisdom and sense of responsibility.

Your presence always gives me strength.

May she rest in peace.

Amen.

Your Majesty.

I would like to stay here with your permission.

I want to be close to my family in these hard times.

With you and Hatice.

I'll be very happy. Stay as long as you like.

I want to stay here but...

I have to leave because of my husband's new position.

Although you just appointed him as the Lord of Rumelia but...

...you'll make us very happy if you can give him a duty at the capital.

You know he has a lot of experience.

Lutfi Pasha has been serving this state since the days of our father.

Your Highness.

May God give you and your children patience.

We live...

...what fate dictates.

My fate is sorrow and despair.

Burning until my last breath.

This is all because of Hurrem.

If we do not save the world from her filthy existence...

More deaths await us.

And what can we do?

Hurrem has never been this strong.

No one could defeat her to this day, anyways.

It's impossible as long as His Majesty backs her.

So what do we do?

Are we supposed to sit by idly?

Are we going to wait until she gets rid of us one by one?

Your Highness.

Are we not going to avenge Ibrahim Pasha?

What's on your mind?

Tell me.

Afife Hatun.

The Holy Eid begins tomorrow, how goes the preparations?

Do not worry, Your Highness.

We are ready for Eid.

-It will be a sad Eid. -That's so.

At least for us.

I don't want festivities in the palace.

I don't want any excessive celebration.

It won't look good, as the pasha is newly deceased.

It should be so, out of respect for Sultana Hatice.

I thought so too, Your Highness.

However, provide everything for the public...

...so they can have a nice holiday.

It will be made according to years before.

Spare no expenses.

Friends and foes alike should know...

...no one weeps for traitors.

-Afife Hatun. -Yes, Your Highness.

You do not listen to rumors, do you?

Concerning the death of Ibrahim Pasha.

Even the mountains come crashing down...

...against His Majesty's will.

Where is Mahidevran now?

She's at Sultana Hatice's palace.

They'll come tomorrow morning for holiday greetings.

God knows what she tells her now.

She must be setting the Sultana against me.

The girl is my faithful servant.

She is intelligent and very resourceful.

Strong and brave as a man.

The most important thing is she's fiercely loyal.

This task is important, Mahidevran...

...and dangerous.

Can she do it?

Without a doubt, Your Highness.

Your Highness. I want you to think before you make a decision.

The consequences may be severe.

What can happen?

Who can do me more harm?

That snake Hurrem took my life from me.

You talked with Sultana Shah.

She gave you her word, she would help you.

Discuss this matter with her.

She only thinks about herself, Gulfem.

She must have forgotten her promise long ago.

You can be sure.

In addition, this is my problem.

If someone wants to kill Hurrem...

...only I can decide this.

Where is this girl?

Let's see her.

I was with Ibrahim pasha ever since I was a kid.

I owe a lot to him.

I still can't comprehend it.

He was always loyal to His Majesty.

He would never betray him.

I have no doubt about it.

I do not think so either.

It seems someone undermined him.

Many lose their heads with lies and slander.

The ones who killed the Pasha are also your enemies, Prince.

-We must be very careful. -They'll try to kill me too, surely.

But they will not succeed, Taslicali.

I will not let them do it.

Ayaz Pasha was appointed the Grand Vizier.

It's important what he and the other pashas think of you.

It's clear they won't back me up like Ibrahim Pasha did.

That's so.

But we must make them back you, prince.

This is very important for your future.

Send a message to Ayaz Pasha. I want to congratulate him personally.

We will find out if he is our friend or enemy.

Welcome Prince.

Mihrimah, my beautiful little sister. Thank you.

-Brother. -Brother.

-You are also welcome, Yahya Bey. -Thank you, Your Highness.

Brother. Remember Esmahan? Shah Huban's daughter.

Prince...

Esmanur. How you grew up.

Sit down please.

Do you have any other wishes, Your Highness?

-I have a headache, Mercan Agha. -I'll get the syrup ready.

-How is Hatice? -Not good.

Especially at night.

She has nightmares.

Do not leave her alone. She might do something crazy again.

Don't worry.

I heard that you are a poet. I would like to read your poems.

Of course, Your Highness.

-Esmanur. Let's join Sultana Hatice, huh? -Okay.

I am glad that I met such a great poet as yourself.

Me too, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I'll be here until the festival ends. If you can meet me, I want to talk to you.

I will send you a message.

You won't return soon, right?

I will not stay long, Mehmet. I'll return after the festival.

-And when are you going to your Sanjak? -It's not clear yet.

I have not seen father for days.

Brother.

Why was Ibrahim Pasha executed?

-Did you learn something? -No.

He must have made a mistake. And a big one.

Otherwise my father would not kill him, right?

Yes, of course.

What will happen when I leave?

You'll leave too.

Who will stay with Hatice then?

There's Gulfem. And Hatice doesn't need anyone.

She should pull herself together. She can't mourn for a lifetime.

Hatice burns with a living fire.

And listen to what you say.

You do not care about her.

You only think about yourself.

Maybe you're even happy about this.

-Watch your words Beyhan. -Is it a lie?

Hatice has always achieved what you couldn't.

-She has the life you always dreamed of. -Shut up!

She was the favorite Sultana.

She was the wife of Grand Vizier.

She was always closer to our father, mother and His Majesty, than you.

Enter.

Your Highness. Sultana Hurrem is here.

Let her in.

Your Highness. I'm sorry to disturb you.

Come Hurrem.

Welcome, Your Highness.

How does Sultana Hatice feel?

Aren't you ashamed of asking that?

Ramadan is over, the festival is tomorrow. Smile a bit!

There's no joy about festival this year. Everyone is scared.

No one knows what'll happen tomorrow.

His Majesty is leading us.

Sultana Hurrem is here, nothing bad will happen.

So you say but this silence is not a good sign.

There will be a bloodbath. A bloodbath.

Do not speak ill!

Take it easy, gents.

Thank you.

What happened, Mercan Agha? Why did you come here?

I need some nettle. Some quince flower...

...and one clump of fragrant grass.

Okay, pasha. Any other commands?

I'll let you know.

Prepare all this, I'll be back to get them.

God give me patience...

We just got rid of Kiraz Agha. And now this Mercan Agha is onto us.

His eyes look crazy.

Don't mess with him. He'll be gone in a couple of days anyways.

It's not worth it.

Sultana forgive me for coming at a bad time.

It's okay, Hurrem.

Why did you come? Did something happen?

I ordered the holiday festivities to be canceled.

I wanted to let you know too.

As it's not appropriate while Sultana Hatice is in mourning.

You thought well.

I was going to warn Afife about this too.

Your Highness.

Do you agree with them too?

I have nothing to do with Ibrahim Pasha's death.

It was His Majesty's decision.

I know Hurrem.

Whatever His Majesty decides, happens.

Good night.

It's good that you're here, Mahidevran.

I wish you happy holidays.

Happy holidays?

You ruined the holiday for everyone.

You have such sweet words again.

Be thankful that I don't spit on your face!

Mahidevran!

-Afife Hatun. -Yes, Your Highness.

You informed Beyhan Sultana as well, right?

Sultana Hatice does not feel very well.

She'll spend the festival, resting. Sultana Beyhan is accompanying her.

May she recover soon.

Make way! Sultan Suleyman Khan.

Your Majesty. I wish you happy holidays.

May God give you and your children health and happiness.

Amen sister. I wish you happy holidays too.

Welcome Mahidevran. How do you do?

Thank you, Your Majesty. I pray for your health.

Glad to see you on another holiday morning.

I hope this festival will bring us good blessings.

Amen.

Your Majesty.

Happy holidays, Hurrem.

To you as well, Hurrem. May God give you a long life.

Mom.

Happy holidays!

To you as well, daughter.

My Osman.

When will we visit my father, mom?

I talked to Osman about it.

We want to visit our father's grave today.

Mihrimah.

I wish you happy holidays, Your Majesty.

You also, Mihrimah.

May our house be bright as your pretty face.

Selim. Bayezid.

Happy holidays.

-To you as well, Your Majesty. -To you as well, Sultan father.

Cihangir.

My little lion.

-Happy holidays, Your Majesty. -To you as well, Gulfem.

Dad.

Where is my aunt Hatice? Why didn't she come?

Why are you at home on this holiday morning?

Why didn't you go to the palace?

I'm sorry Your Highness but...

...I don't feel like going to the palace.

This morning.

Huricihan and Osman came to me.

They told me that they want to visit their father's grave.

I said nothing.

I couldn't say, that they didn't even gave him a grave.

Maybe this is better, Your Highness.

What did they do Nasuh Effendi?

Was he thrown into the sea?

Was he left for wild beasts?

Tell me what has been done.

-You would know. -Rest assured.

He was buried according to tradition.

-So you know where his grave is? -No.

They do not want anyone to know.

Because the Pasha had many enemies.

They wouldn't leave him alone, even in his grave.

You have to find out where it is.

I want to know where Ibrahim was buried.

Do what you must and find out.

I'll do my best Your Highness but...

...as I said before...

...maybe this is better.

As every time you visit him, your pain will be refreshed.

Your sorrow won't end.

Grief and sorrow.

When does it end?

When will these dark clouds dissipate?

When I avenge the death of Ibrahim...

...only on that day, I'll find solace.

-Happy holidays, Your Majesty. -To you as well, Captain Pasha.

As you know, we have to choose a new vizier.

It falls to this holy day to announce this.

Ayaz Pasha, I hereby command...

I appoint Lutfi pasha as vizier on top his Lordship of Rumelia.

Your servant Lutfi is vexed and happy for having received such a high position.

May it be blessed, Lutfi Pasha.

I fully trust in you.

-Happy holidays, Your Majesty. -To you as well, Rustem.

Mahidevran, I'm going to my chamber.

We'll talk later.

Your Highness, of course. As you wish.

- Hurrem - Your Highness.

Mahidevran..

When do you go back to Manisa?

They say you live there in peace.

I know what you did Hurrem.

You sent your servant Gulizar to kill the Prince.

My grandson also died because of you.

Mahidevran you accuse me of everything.

I thought he died from smallpox.

Your spy infected him.

That's why Fatma committed suicide.

But fortune has smiled upon us.

My prince's favorite is pregnant.

Congratulations. May it be blessed.

How can you still look at people, straight in the face?

While Ibrahim Pasha's blood is still on your hands...

...how can you be so relaxed?

Mahidevran, it seems to me that you are very sad.

I must say, you're scared.

Right?

After all, Ibrahim Pasha has always protected you for many years.

Who is next?

My son?

How will you live with so many sins on your conscience?

Don't you know that divine justice will prevail one day?

Mahidevran, divine justice has already prevailed.

You're accusing me but everything that...

...had happened is the price for your sins.

Your Highness.

-What is it? -Nigar Hatun is here.

She wants to see you.

Let her in.

Your Highness.

I wish I'd visit you for holidays but...

...I...

My condolences, Your Highness.

May God give you patience.

May he give you strength to endure.

How did you come to the capital?

Rustem Agha brought me.

I guess he'll be appointed with a new duty.

Sure he will.

If you're here for Esmanur...

...I don't know where she is too.

The ones who killed Ibrahim Pasha...

...the ones who thought he didn't deserve a grave..

Will they show mercy to his child?

Will they let her live?

No!

Stop!

Make way!

-What are you doing? -Your Highness, forgive us.

But His Majesty has commanded us to destroy the statues.

No.

No one will touch them!

Don't you dare!

I'll have your heads!

Do you understand?

Your Highness, we have to.

I said no.

Beyhan tell them to leave!

Lutfi Pasha, congratulations.

May it be blessed.

Amen Rustem, Amen.

It's what His Majesty deemed appropriate.

Don't be upset.

There's a long path in your future.

Get some work done in Teke, get experience.

And one day we can be in the Divan together.

God willing.

Come in.

Your Majesty.

Hurrem, welcome.

Finally, the festival is here.

Let's go out for a walk if you'd like.

There are festivities in the city. We'll watch.

Later Hurrem.

I thought it would be good for us. Anyways, we'll go later.

I hear Rustem is here.

Ayaz Pasha invited him.

He wants Rustem to be vizier.

The Pasha thought well.

Rustem is a valiant Bey who is bound to us with loyalty.

My children like him too.

He's up to the task.

I trust him too.

But it's too early for a duty such as this.

He needs experience.

I already appointed Lutfi Pasha as vizier.

So Shah Sultana can stay with us too.

That was her wish also.

Make way!

Come in.

Your Highness.

What's up Hurrem, what happened?

I came to congratulate you.

Lutfi Pasha.

I heard he entered the Divan as a vizier.

May it be blessed.

His Majesty thought he was worthy of the task...

...it's a great honor.

Surely so.

Of course, carrying out this duty...

...is naturally difficult.

If we look at it from this perspective...

...it's hard to not remember Ibrahim Pasha.

As his end was so tragic.

Don't worry, Hurrem.

Lutfi Pasha is nothing like Ibrahim Pasha.

Because I'm his wife.

And I'm nothing like Hatice.
