The events and characters in this show have been fictionalized based on history.

What are you doing, Hurrem?

What is this?

I have never been disrespectful to you.

I have accepted exile and slander for you.

How could you do this to me?

How can you read love poems to me then go and lie with other women?

What sort of love is this?

I die behind this door every day.

Now take this dagger and really kill me.

What is it, Nigar Kalfa? Why are you here?

Sultan Hurrem is with His Majesty. You cannot enter.

How did this happen?

I don't know.

You never know with Sultan Hurrem.

You should go. Don't waste your time waiting.

I didn't ask your opinion! You speak out of turn!

I will wait here!

How dare you appear before me like this.

I dare because I love. I am loyal for that reason too.

I came here to deliver my soul.

If I do not love, I do not exist, Suleiman.

Snap out of it, Hurrem.

Don't try my patience and my conscience.

There is the dagger! Here is my neck!

Free me from this pain now...

...or I will exile myself!

You will never see my face again.

Do you realise what you are saying?

What do you mean, exile yourself?

I am used to all kinds of torment and exile.

This time I will do it myself.

If nothing, my pride will not be trampled.

Hurrem, be careful.

You are being disrespectful.

I will tolerate this disgrace no further!

Go and attend to your children! Leave me!

I am to respect you.

But you can tear it down...

...and ruin it and walk all over me. Is that it?

I have seen it all.

Gulnihal.

Mahidevran.

Sadika Hatun in Ibrahim's palace.

The concubine at the door.

Hurrem! That's enough!

Enough!

Don't confuse me with someone else.

I am not Mahidevran.

I will not share you or our love with anyone!

By tomorrow...

...either those concubines will have left...

...or I will.

The choice is yours.

Sultan Hurrem?

This is bad.

My Sultan! Wait! What happened?

All of you go away! Leave me alone!

Wait, my Sultan!

What did you do?

My Sultan!

Your Majesty.

-Your Majesty. -What is it Sumbul?

Well...

The Russian concubine Tanya...

...is ready and waiting to be accepted into your presence.

Get out.

-Tanya? -Get lost!

Yes, Your Majesty.

We are going back.

But the Padishah...

No Padishah! Not even in your dreams!

Move!

Come on!

Come on.

It's you.

I was wondering about...

Hurrem, what's all this?

Oh, no! Did you kill that Hatun? Did you do it?

I will kill you if you say another word.

I'm sick with worry. Please tell me. Did you do something to His Majesty?

You will lose your head if you harm a hair on his head.

My Sultan, speak! Don't scare me.

Gulnihal.

Gather my belongings.

We leave tomorrow.

-My Sultan. -Gulsah.

Did you bring the oil of thyme?

Rub it thoroughly on my neck, it's stiff.

I have brought it, my Sultan.

But I have important news for you.

What is it?

Something is going on, my Sultan.

Hurrem was running to her room with blood on her hands.

Nigar was running after her.

I think...

...she was returning from His Majesty, from the private chamber.

How?

What happened to her hand?

I don't know. But you should have seen it. She was shaking with rage.

Go and find Nigar.

Did His Majesty exile you?

I have lived through exile once.

I won't go through it again.

If that's the case, why are we leaving?

I told His Majesty...

...that either the concubines go or I go tomorrow.

Then I left.

How could you do that?

That's not something you say to a man like His Majesty!

What should I have done?

If I still my mouth, my heart speaks it.

I can't help myself.

I can't take it any other way.

You are in trouble, Hurrem.

No one can save you now.

You are in deep trouble.

I was already in trouble.

If one day...

...my brother takes your husband's head too...

...then you will understand me.

Ibrahim.

I can't bear to lose you.

That's enough!

Everyone to bed!

What is it Sumbul Agha?

His Majesty sent the concubine away.

Did she do something wrong?

What could she have done, Daye Hatun.

The poor girl didn't even make it inside.

Sultan Hurrem was there when we arrived.

She came out in such a fury!

And His Majesty sent us away.

All right, take her to her wing.

As you command.

I wonder if he sent her away because of Hurrem.

His Majesty probably didn't like her.

Be quiet! Don't cause trouble for me at this time of night.

My Valide.

I can tell from your face. Tell me Daye. What is it now?

It will upset you. I'm afraid Hurrem Hatun has caused trouble in the harem again.

What has happened, my Sultan? She didn't say anything to me.

She is lying, my Sultan. Hurrem Hatun's hand was bleeding. I saw it.

Speak.

I asked her several times.

Her lips are sealed. She won't speak of it.

Something has happened between her and His Majesty.

Does it have to do with that Russian concubine?

Most probably. But apparently His Majesty sent her back down the golden path.

He didn't want her.

Find out what happened in the private room immediately.

I will try, my Sultan.

Now you may retire.

Gulsah, follow this up. Something has happened. Find out what it is.

Good morning, Your Majesty.

Not very good, Pargali.

-Has something happened, Your Majesty? -Why are you here?

-The Venetian ambassador... -Not now, later.

Just as I thought, she'd come to her senses and matured.

And look what she did.

They were right when they said a leopard doesn't change its spots.

Mother.

I am witness to Hurrem's love for His Majesty.

Her heart stops beating for him for no reason.

She thinks she will lose His Majesty.

My Sultan.

We all have great respect for her.

But she will only damage herself with what she did.

Gulfem is right. It is so.

No one is allowed to disrupt the order of the harem.

Of course, what she did was wrong.

But I understand Hurrem.

For example, the thought of...

...Ibrahim Pasha being with someone else would kill me.

Who are you comparing yourself to?

You are a member of the royal family.

Is it Ibrahim Pasha's place to be with someone else?

In the event of such a disgrace you will divorce him.

You will destroy both your marriage and his position.

Mother, Allah forbid! What are you saying?

You were speaking of examples, so I gave you one.

Don't spend too much time with Hurrem.

She has affected you a lot.

Mother, are we going out for a walk?

Esma.

Take Mehmet out for some air.

Mother, come with us.

Go with Esma, I will come later.

My Prince, let's go. Look what I'm about to show you.

Gulnihal, hurry up.

Take this box.

Hurrem.

Calm down a bit.

How will we leave the palace without permission?

Where will we go? What will we do?

Do you really think it'll work?

We won't be sleeping on the street. I'm sure we will find somewhere.

Yes. I heard Sumbul Agha speaking of it.

Hurrem said either the concubines go or she goes.

How improper!

She was angry with His Majesty? How dare she!

I would expect anything from her. But this is great!

Yes, it's great. She has brought about her own end.

Divine justice has revealed itself!

Summon Nigar Kalfa.

His Excellency Sultan Suleiman Khan.

How is your hand? Does it still hurt?

This pain is nothing.

The wound to my heart is far worse.

But no one hears me cry.

What is all this preparation?

I told you, Your Majesty.

I await your decision.

Either that concubine goes...

...or I do.

Tell the concubines not to bully those Russian women.

Look after them. Don't let anything happen.

What could happen, Sumbul Agha? They eat, sleep and lord it over the others.

I don't care.

Don't let Sultan Hurrem order you around.

Sumbul Agha, Ibrahim Pasha has asked to see Nigar Hatun.

He summoned me?

Come to your senses.

You can't go anywhere without my permission.

Where are my children? Have them brought here.

You thought you could take them and leave?

I am going to leave, Suleiman.

No force can stop me.

If I don't leave alive...

...then I will leave dead.

Be careful what you say, Hurrem.

Don't speak to me like that and seal your fate.

There is no turning back from that.

I am prepared for everything.

I will not stay one more day...

...under the same roof as that concubine.

Either she goes...

...or I will kill myself.

My Pasha.

You summoned me.

Come in, Nigar Kalfa.

Come closer.

Look me in the eye.

I can't look at you, my Pasha.

I am embarrassed.

Forgive me.

I wish the ground would open up and swallow me.

Yes, there is that matter.

My Pasha, I am...

...deeply embarrassed.

Nigar Kalfa, it's all right.

I have forgotten it already. You must forget it too.

It never happened.

All right?

Now look me in the eye.

Now tell me, what happened in the harem last night?

Why is His Majesty out of sorts?

My Pasha.

Sultan Hurrem spoke to His Majesty.

I believe some sort of an argument took place.

Hurrem Hatun told His Majesty to send the new Russian concubines away.

She said it was either them or her.

Hurrem Hatun has caused a lot of trouble for herself.

She will lose.

I'm sure Hurrem will realise her mistake when she calms down.

She will ask for forgiveness.

I'm sure my lion put Hurrem in her place.

He won't forgive this.

Make way!

His Excellency Sultan Suleiman Khan.

Welcome, my lion.

Hatice.

Welcome.

Your Majesty.

Gulfem.

Leave me with my mother.

I know what's troubling you.

I heard of the scene Hurrem caused.

You are right. This is unacceptable. She does not know her place.

Mother, I have something to ask of you.

You will be the one most happy about my departure.

Hurrem.

Have you packed everything?

Yes, there is not much left.

What did you speak of?

I told him I would leave.

He said I wasn't allowed to.

I said I would leave or kill myself.

How is that going to work? They won't allow us out of the palace.

We will escape.

We will find a boat at Sarayburnu and leave.

Have you lost your mind?

They will drown us and throw us in the sea.

All right, don't think of us.

But think of your children.

I beg you, don't do this.

If I were to tell Ibrahim Pasha...

...he would find a boat and send us off at once.

Don't be crazy, for God's sake.

Don't cause trouble for the Pasha.

He would do anything to be rid of me. Don't you worry.

Hurrem has been destroyed. She will lose all her power.

I hope she keeps her word and leaves, my Sultan.

What if she doesn't keep her word?

His Majesty won't even look her in the eye.

She made her own noose and she doesn't even know it.

I was turned back from the Padishah's door. I was to be a queen.

There are many queens in this palace. Forget it.

What has His Majesty decided?

He's not going to ask me is he?

How should I know? God give me patience.

Daye Hatun.

Well, if that's what was decided.

Why are you still here?

Sumbul Agha, what happened?

Did they summon the Russian concubine to the private chamber?

Oh, most gracious and merciful.

Don't tarry, go and find Nigar.

Have her do whatever is required.

She is to tell Ibrahim Pasha.

Hurrem.

Don't start this. It will be hard to turn back.

Think hard.

Nigar, it's good that you have come.

Find me a boat immediately. I will escape at night.

How can I help you?

I couldn't even if I wanted to.

It is impossible for you to leave the palace.

Then it will be my last night.

My corpse will leave this palace in the morning.

Wipe away your tears. You have what you wanted.

His Majesty is sending the Russian concubines away.

Is this true? Are they going?

Yes! They are packing their things.

Thank Allah!

He loves me too!

Thank Allah!

He hasn't forsaken me!

Don't look at me like that.

I said you will go so you will go.

Where are we going? To Sultan Suleiman?

That's in the past. Get over it!

We are sending you back.

Did you hear that? They are leaving.

This is Sultan Hurrem's work. She had her way.

Be quiet!

You speak too much!

Now go up to the wing and pack your things. I'll wait for you here.

His Majesty commanded it. There is nothing I can do.

Sultan Hurrem is most impressive. His Majesty does whatever she says.

He doesn't make her ask twice.

Soon he will send us away too.

Look at what we have come to!

Calm down, my Valide.

How can I calm down, Hatice!

What a disgrace! He's sending them away just because Hurrem asked for it.

She has him wrapped round her finger.

I won't be surprised if she tries to have me sent away too!

This sets a bad precedent. The door has been opened.

Larger disgraces and disasters await us.

Allah forbid, my Sultan.

Do not be concerned, Mother.

All of this only shows how in love they are.

Hatice! There can be no love in the harem!

Order will be disrupted. Love blinds people.

And that would be the end of us.

Come in.

-Your Majesty, if it is not convenient... -Come, Pargali.

Your Majesty, you seemed troubled this morning.

I hope you are now all right.

I am managing an empire on three continents.

But sometimes I have trouble managing a lover rebelling because of love.

It is not possible to quell this rebellion without compromising.

Your Majesty, compromises for the sake of love do not mean defeat.

You are but one great soul teaching us to respect the power of love.

I couldn't accept losing Hurrem, Pargali.

She loves me so fiercely that she tried to take her own life.

I asked myself if I love her as fiercely.

No.

But today I fell in love with her all over again.

Right, let's get back to you.

Why had you come?

Seigneur Gritti, son of the Doge of Venice sent word.

He requests an audience tomorrow.

He is grateful for the compensation of his losses and wants to thank you in person.

Have him come.

It is a most elegant brooch.

It already has an owner.

Go and have a look around. Find out what is happening.

At once, my Sultan.

-Sumbul Agha. -My Sultan.

Where are you taking them?

His Majesty has commanded that the concubines be sent away.

What did you say, Sumbul Agha?

Is this true?

I swear to Allah it is true, my Sultan.

I have been ordered to send them back to where they came from.

By your leave.

Come on.

Allah, what is this?

How could His Majesty allow such a disgrace?

How could he reward such an offence?

Where have the birds gone?

They took flight and went away.

They are free now.

Bring the birds back.

Don't worry, my beautiful Sultan.

There are many birds flying in the garden.

You really are something.

What if he hadn't sent them away?

Gulnihal, I took refuge in love.

I believed in it.

His Excellency Sultan Suleiman Khan!

Mihrimah.

My precious.

I have a terrible headache.

I could rub on some oil of thyme?

There is no need.

It's over, Gulsah.

Nothing will bring Hurrem down now.

Give me permission.

And I will cut Hurrem's throat.

Are you mad?

Put that back!

My Sultan.

I know exactly how to kill that snake.

If only you...

Are you stupid?

They would immediately suspect me.

There is already a murderer in the harem.

It will be blamed on whomever killed Ayse.

No.

I will destroy you if you do anything.

No one will be able to save you.

Do you love me so much that you would sacrifice yourself?

You are the Sultan of my heart.

My hand doesn't hurt anymore.

The wound to my heart has healed too.

You have made me so happy.

You liked the necklace I made for Hatice.

That's for whom I was making it.

The tulip is the sign of the royal family.

May it see you through happy days.

My fierce, rebellious Sultan.

Seigneur Alvise Gritti.

This is the palace of Sultan Suleiman.

I have never been here before.

A great palace behind high walls. An Ottoman Sultan who shapes the future.

I hope we begin a long and successful relationship.

Soon you will be in Sultan Suleiman's presence, Seigneur Gritti.

The guards may be rough at the gate.

Do not be concerned. Do not be afraid.

Have you prepared the Padishah and his Vizier Ibrahim Pasha...

...for this meeting, Seigneur Mocenigo?

Success is mine, failure is yours.

Do not forget.

Seigneur Mocenigo, Seigneur Gritti.

Look at that infidel, Ahmet Celebi.

He is bringing new ways into the Padishah's palace.

Leo Effendi.

Don't bring your own creations here.

First learn the art and ways of this workshop.

Cover those images. It is a sin.

Ahmet Celebi.

I know. You are the master of this realm.

But Leo Effendi has done no wrong.

The paintings were commissioned by His Majesty.

Leo has to complete them as soon as possible.

Let's have a look at your skills.

Show me the other one.

There is a painting of Sultan Hurrem there.

It is private. I won't open it.

Well done. You have learnt the rules.

Your Majesty. The Venetian Bailo Mocenigo and the Venetian merchant

Alvise Gritti await an audience.

Your Excellency Sultan Suleiman Khan.

I am honoured to present the great Venetian merchant Seigneur Gritti.

Benvenuto, Seigneur Gritti.

Your Excellency Sultan Suleiman Khan.

Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha. I am grateful for having been granted an audience.

Seigneur Gritti speaks our language very well.

I was born in this wonderful city. I spent my childhood here.

Before my father became the Doge of Venice, he was

an ambassador who had good relations with your grandfather, Sultan Bayezid.

My Padishah, I have continued the tradition left to me by my father.

We have warehouses and ships at the port.

Seigneur Gritti.

The Republic of Venice has always been of great importance to the Empire.

The period of peace after the long years of war

has been beneficial for all.

If my Padishah would permit, I would like to present my gifts.

I have heard that you have a great talent for making jewellery.

I also admire and collect precious stones.

These stones will grow further in value and come to life in your skilled hands.

I would be grateful if you would accept them.

This is most pleasing. They are good stones. Thank you.

I want some too!

No, Mehmet! I need to finish this.

What have you done? Clean this now!

I am talking to you!

My princes, please don't.

I will be the Padishah. You clean it!

No, I will be one. You are still a child.

No, I am the Padishah!

-Shut up! -Mustafa?

My prince? Please don't.

He tipped over my ink pot!

He should've given it to me.

Mehmet.

Show some respect to your brother. Stop talking.

Enjoy.

Eat, everyone.

Mind your scoops.

We put some gold in them.

Gold?

Let's see who gets one.

We will have dessert too.

Thank you, my sultan.

Sultan Hurrem is as thoughtful as always.

Look! I got some gold!

I also got one!

Gulnihal.

Bring Mehmet here.

Mehmet is in class with his brother.

He wanted to see his brother, I can bring him in a minute.

Aren't the desserts ready yet?

Be patient, I've just added the syrup.

You've been going on about it.

If Sultan Hurrem hears this...

...she might send you away like those girls.

Well, well, well...

You don't seem to ever leave the kitchen.

To push affliction and harm away.

It's delicious. So warm.

Enjoy, Sumbul Agha.

Sultan Hurrem specifically wanted you to eat them.

Why is that?

So that you can eat sweet and be sweet.

There is some on your chin.

Gulnihal, come and take Mehmet.

Why was my son with you?

I went to take Prince Mustafa.

I saw Mehmet and brought him here.

She yelled at me, mother.

I do not want to see you...

...with Prince Mehmet ever again.

And you will also call him prince.

Or I will cut your tongue out.

My job is to attend to the needs of Prince Mustafa.

How dare you treat the princes differently?

And you yelled at him.

-Lady Hurrem... -You will call me sultan!

Get out.

I don't want to see your disgusting face ever again.

Go now, before I do something bad.

What are you waiting for?

Go!

His Majesty...

...I am grateful that you compensated our loss during the Janissary rebellion.

How is your father?

We spoke recently. He admired you and your victories.

He wishes the good relationship between us to continue.

The balances are shifting in European politics.

Who do you think will win this war?

The war between Francois and Karl has resulted in Francois's defeat.

Francois is Karl's prisoner.

Nobody can save him for now.

Does the Vatican not protect her children?

The Vatican doesn't protect the loser, Your Majesty.

How will the Vatican deal with Martin Luther?

They won't be able to.

Their position on the Karl situation indicates that.

Luther is a fact that takes its power from the people.

It will be a reformation.

One cannot reform a religion.

You can't question faith. You either believe, or be an infidel.

I agree, Your Majesty. We argued over this with my father.

I told him what you told me.

He said, "How could the Vatican lose power?"

Mocenigo, thankfully I met a smarter Venetian than you.

Ibrahim Pasha.

Gritti shall wear the robe.

You honoured me, Your Majesty.

I would like to host you in my new house one day.

We will see.

Your Majesty, the Christian world is expecting new campaigns in fear.

They think you will continue your victories after Belgrade.

I am sure infidel Lajos is having nightmares.

He can escape from his palace in Buda and take refuge in the Vatican.

Surely I will complete my unfinished victory.

But the important thing is our next path.

Next path?

You will see when it happens, Seigneur Gritti.

Mustafa?

Mother, is it true Mehmet is going to be the padishah?

Where did this come from?

He said so in the class.

Don't take him seriously, he's just a kid.

His mother told him that he is going to be the padishah.

Her words don't mean anything.

You are the oldest prince.

You will ascend the throne when the day comes.

You will be the padishah of the world just like your father.

Go and change now.

Do you see, Gulsah?

She is getting in his head from the start.

Gulsah?

What's wrong?

I hate Hurrem!

I hate that she is happy when you are sad like this!

-Please allow me to do something. -No!

I am not a killer.

We will wait.

She is bound to make a mistake eventually.

Look.

Nasuh Effendi is also interested in that weird thing.

What business does he have with this infidel?

Take it easy, gentlemen.

How is it going, Leo Effendi?

It's going to be finished soon.

My Pasha...

Do you think His Majesty will like it?

You painted him well.

But don't be in a rush to show him.

Wait for when he is in a good mood.

Did you go to the bazaar? Where is my brooch?

I will go there tomorrow, my Pasha.

Joshua said it would be finished by then.

Good. Let's take a walk.

Wait.

What are these?

Well, I...

I am studying faces.

For the painting.

I want it to be good.

I see.

But don't leave them around.

Hide them. And destroy them when you are done.

Yes. I will.

My Pasha.

-Can I stay here tonight? -For what?

I need to work.

Okay.

Give him whatever he needs.

Okay.

Gulnihal. Don't leave the children alone again.

I am scared of that Gulsah woman.

-She is going to hurt someone. -I won't.

Anyway, after today, you made a fool out of her today.

She won't go near them again.

Is your painting finished yet?

No.

Why?

Don't you want to know...

...how it looks?

They say he's quite skilled.

-And handsome. -What do I care?

Don't you have something to do?

Leo.

Please...

...just go.

Who is this Gritti?

Alvise Gritti.

Son of the Doge of Venice.

A smart and wise merchant. He has all the trade around here.

He's opening businesses in Galata...

...and building houses. He also speaks our language.

He knows all about the European families.

My sultan, his father is the Doge of Venice.

But he is a tradesman here.

So it is a life of exile.

Why? What was his crime?

Sadika, you may leave.

Enjoy, my Pasha.

My sultan.

So, what was his crime?

Being a bastard.

He's kept away from his family. However he is a valuable person.

He asked His Majesty when he will finish his business with Lajos.

And he said "Not before capturing Buda first."

Do you love me?

I do.

Gritti has invited us to his villa. His Majesty will also be there.

They say he likes to party. He has important guests from Europe.

He hosts them so well, it is talked about for days.

Really?

I wonder how he will host you.

We will see how the European folk entertain themselves.

Gritti might be our path to Europeans.

Then we can advance easily in Europe.

We need to finish the unfinished victory.

-Have it easy. -Thank you.

Thank you, sir. We will expect you again. Have a good day.

Have it easy, Joshua.

Welcome, Nasuh Effendi.

Thanks. How's the business?

Not too bad.

If you are saying this, others must be having hard times.

I have no complaints, thankfully.

I am just saying it so that it won't bring misfortune.

Ibrahim Pasha is asking for the brooch he ordered.

It's finished, sir.

It came out to be an amazing brooch. The sultan will love it.

If she doesn't I will bring this place down.

Do you not trust Ibrahim Pasha? Why are you counting them?

That's not it, it is the tradition.

I still would if I found it on the street.

Go on then.

Where is my necklace?

It is here.

Will you spend your gold?

You fool! If I valued gold I would have palaces and mansions by now.

-Thank you, sir. -Thank you.

-Have a nice day. -Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Our Lord and great king...

...I could not take our revenge that I promised yet.

But I am waiting patiently as you said.

I have important news for you.

Alvise Gritti, son of the Doge of Venice...

...is in a close relationship with Sultan Suleyman and Ibrahim Pasha.

Sultan Suleyman might form an alliance with the Venetians.

He is considering advancing to the West.

Their goal is to finish what they left before.

They will come for Buda, sir. Be prepared.

Sadika!

My sultan.

It is great outside.

I will be in the garden. Have it prepared.

Yes, my sultan.

Gulsah.

Have the kitchen make mint and lemon tea.

My stomach is still bad.

I will do it at once, my sultan.

Is that a mouse? Step on its tail so she won't escape.

What did you say?

I didn't, Sultan Hurrem did. You mouse-faced!

Mouse?

What are you doing?

Go and do this to Sultan Hurrem.

You wouldn't dare though. You ran away in fear.

Pasha!

Look at what happened.

We are working, my prince. A minute please.

Ibrahim Pasha, I order you to come here!

Later, Mustafa!

Where is the taster? Tell him to come. His Majesty is waiting for his meal!

What is it? Does Sultan Mahidevran want something?

She has an upset stomach, make her some mint and lemon tea.

Okay. We will get it done in a minute.

Anything else?

No.

She is in Valide's chamber.

-Bring it there. -Of course.

What is wrong?

I have an upset stomach, Mother.

You aren't taking care of yourself.

You are not eating anything.

You look so fragile.

Come on, eat your soup. It is good for you.

Mehmet, my lion cub! Come here!

Come here.

My Valide, enjoy your meal.

-Is there something, Hurrem? -No.

I just wanted to say hello, my Valide.

Thank you.

Come on, let's eat together.

Forgive me, my sultan.

Sadika? Where is your mind?

I will be in my chamber.

Clean up here and have them prepare the bath.

Yes, my sultan.

What kind of bow is this?

Bring me another one!

Mustafa, enough!

Come to the table.

Here you go, son.

My prince?

Did you do this because I got the spoon first?

Please do not be offended.

I am a servant to both His Majesty and my prince.

What kind of servant are you?

You sit on the table with my father every day.

And he gives you the spoon first!

Come here.

I am so glad you came, Nasuh Effendi.

It is great to hear that you missed me.

I don't have much time.

I wrote a letter for my uncle.

-Please... -Okay.

I will have it sent.

Lady Sadika.

I have something for you too.

Didn't you like it?

It is beautiful. Thank you.

Come on, put it on. Let me see it on your elegant neck.

Later.

Someone might see us.

His Majesty made it himself.

He gave it to me last night.

Tulip.

It stands for the dynasty.

-Enjoy it. -Thanks, my Valide.

They made the tea for my sultan's stomach.

I am sorry, are you sick?

Upset stomach.

Sorry to hear that.

She should see a doctor.

Mustafa!

This is not how a prince should act.

You are not one to give orders yet.

Ibrahim is my servant. But I love him as a brother.

He's a good friend and the Grand Vizier of the Empire. He is my regent.

You should learn about political manners.

Is Ibrahim Pasha offended by me?

Ibrahim loves you very much. He won't be angry.

He practically raised you.

But you should try to make peace with him.

My lion cub should not act like that.

-My Pasha. -Not now, I'm busy.

I went to the bazaar earlier. I brought the gift you ordered.

Thanks.

What's wrong, my Pasha?

Nothing, I am just tired.

She is a shameless woman.

His Majesty's gift!

Don't be upset, my sultan.

His Majesty surprises me.

Look how much stuff he does for her!

I am sure now.

Hurrem is a witch.

She put a spell on his heart and his mind.

One day she will come to an end too.

Good night, my sultan.

His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Your Majesty, you honoured me.

I wasn't expecting you.

You have seen me unprepared.

Don't worry.

Gulnihal.

Take Selim with you.

Come here.

You are always beautiful.

Did you get nervous when you saw me?

Yes.

I can hear my heartbeat.

Boom boom.

Come closer.

I want to hear your heartbeat.

Ibrahim.

What's wrong?

You look preoccupied.

You didn't say a word at the dinner.

Tell me, what did upset you?

Mustafa.

My prince did something today.

I was thinking about that, I'm sorry.

What could have he done?

He is very fond of you.

You are his idol.

He was angry with the relationship I have with His Majesty.

He reminded me that I am just a servant.

He is just a child.

He might have gotten taller...

...but he's still a child.

He must have felt jealous.

I don't want to share you either.

I would also get jealous.

I want you to be next to me all the time.

Jealousy stems from love, Ibrahim.

My precious sultan.

Although you deserve much better...

...I want you give you a gift.

I wonder if you will like it.

It is beautiful.

Is this Simurg?

It is.

This bird...

...will come to life...

...on your heart.

It will find peace.

Just like I did.

I can stay by the door, His Majesty might want something.

There is someone already.

You put Mihrimah to bed. I will take care of Mehmet.

What about Selim?

He is already asleep.

Well well well...

Sultan Nigar!

Do you also want rubbers?

Why, I can't even take a bath now?

By the way, you are in the bath every day.

And the jewellery, the clothes...

What?

I am a young and healthy woman.

Is our Valide going to marry you?

God!

Sultan Hurrem will be here, go.

His Majesty is with him, she's not going to come.

Have a good night, Sumbul Agha.

Good night, Sultan Nigar!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Who ordered you to do this?

Let me go!

Let me go!

His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan!

You Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty?

I could die for you but what did I do?

For the love of Allah, tell me what I did!

Your Majesty!

My sultan. Go!

Don't see me like this. Go away!

Go away!

I am Ibrahim!

Ibrahim?

Did you have a nightmare?

Do you want to talk about it?

I am Ibrahim, A man who carries his heaven and hell with him.

Friends with his inner devils, and allies with the sheik of the office.

But always on guard.

Ibrahim, a loyal guardian to the gates of the purgatory.

So close to the privacy of Sultan Suleyman...

...but always behind the doorstep.

Watching his own funeral in the eyes of his Padishah...

...and braces his death in the eyes of his sultan.

People pray in his funerals.

Have a good night.

I want you to dream about me.

No, don't go.

I don't want dreams.

I want you.

Wait until tomorrow.
