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

Get up, damn you!

Don't fake it! Open your eyes, Russian slave!

I said get up!

I said open your eyes, Russian slave!

Open your eyes!

I am telling you!

My Sultan!

What happened? What did you do?

My Sultan, let's go.

Let's go. What if she dies?

I hope she does.

Losing the baby was awful.

Sultan Mahidevran must be devastated.

Does His Majesty know?

I told the concierge, Ibrahim Agha, in the morning.

I am sure he told him appropriately.

I should tell Valide Sultan too.

You should have woken me up last night, Sumbul Agha.

Hurrem Hatun will be ecstatic to hear this.

To hell with her.

Even hearing her name riles me up.

Help! Please!

Get up!

Get up and answer!

My Sultan, please!

She already got what she deserved.

Let go off me! I want to see her dead.

My Sultan, please.

Get her out of my palace.

Feed her to the animals.

I hope she dies.

Allah save us.

This is awful.

We are done.

God forgive us!

Is she dead?

Thank God she lives.

We should find the chief physician. And Ibrahim...

No way.

Nobody will hear about this.

Let's carry her to her chamber.

No one will see her like this.

May God give you, Sultan Mahidevran and Prince Mustafa a long life.

I hope nothing worse happens.

Thank you, Ibrahim.

I need to see Mahidevran.

We can postpone the council meeting.

No, today's meeting will change the history.

It will set the destiny of the Empire.

Our friends and foes will see who we really are.

Where is your dear Hurrem?

Is she gone?

She is with His Majesty.

She must be a powerful witch.

Tell me how she does it.

Witchcraft is your thing. Hurrem doesn't know that stuff.

Are you jealous?

Aren't you?

Don't you envy her?

What are you waiting for?

Your class is starting.

Get in line.

Go to the Conservatory.

Hurry up.

Go and open your books.

I will be there shortly.

Stars fall on my dark nights, my Sultan.

Your light rivals that of the sun.

The moon flees in embarrassment.

Your subject, Ibrahim,

has been blinded by the light.

He will never be cured, my Sultan.

Hatice?

Hatice?

Hatice, you seemed lost in your thoughts again.

Sorry, I was just lost for a second.

I was thinking about Mahidevran and the baby.

I wish the same for every woman who wants a child.

My Sultan!

What happened, Daye? You're out of breath.

Sultan Mahidevran had a miscarriage.

She lost the baby.

No!

I am coming.

She must be devastated.

I have to say something else, my Sultan.

Wait, Daye.

I can't bear any more bad news.

Hurrem Hatun...

She was beaten badly.

She is in a serious condition.

How? Who dared to do this?

Mahidevran?

Your Majesty, I...

Don't.

Don't cry.

You will give me many children in the future.

This one wasn't meant to be. It is Allah's will.

Don't be sad. And don't make me sad.

Mustafa shouldn't see you crying like this.

Did you tell him? Does he know?

I will tell Mustafa.

You focus on getting better.

I should go to the council meeting.

Poor woman.

She was torn to shreds.

She needs a doctor, Sumbul Agha.

You heard Daye Hatun. We have to take care of it.

Get some clean towels and water.

They won't be enough.

She's not some concubine.

She is His Majesty's favourite.

If she dies it will be on us.

Mahidevran did this but she can get away with it.

We, however, would be beheaded.

I am just following orders, Nigar Kalfa.

You can blame Daye Hatun.

We shouldn't stir up trouble.

Suleyman.

We have been waiting for you, Lala Kasim Pasha.

How are you?

Good, Your Majesty.

Now that I stand

before you and see you all,

I feel so much better.

I am an old man now.

Nonsense, Lala.

You can still beat us all with your wits.

You are needed at today's council.

We need your insight.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I would be honoured if I can be of help.

Don't be upset.

We have a beautiful prince.

Think about him.

You are still young.

And you are healthy.

I can't help it.

I really wanted to have this baby.

It was just the time.

I haven't been able to get pregnant for some time.

Do you think it will happen again?

Valide Sultan.

Don't get up. Get well soon.

I have upset you too.

Hatice.

Take care of Mustafa. I'll be here.

You should be ashamed of what you have done.

I am starting meeting in the name of Allah, the compassionate and the merciful.

This is a day which we will be marked in our honourable history.

The infidel Hungarian King Louis

sent the head of our messenger Sergeant Behram

instead of paying their debts.

This is an act of war.

War is my wish.

My viziers, my pashas.

His Excellency Sheik al-Islam, what do you say?

Your Majesty,

your decision as a response

to Louis' treatment against Sergeant Behram

is the right thing to do.

This was an insult.

Not only to the Empire,

but also to you,

the Caliph of the Islamic world.

Lala Kasim Pasha, what do you think?

Your Majesty,

I always say that

the worst acts

always stem from decisions made in anger.

But I also know that

your wisdom

always comes before your anger.

That is how you act on things.

Your will

elevates the Empire, Your Majesty.

Thankfully nobody had seen this disaster.

How could you fight with a concubine?

You are Haseki Sultan!

You are the mother of a prince!

This is Topkapi Palace!

Not even the most ignorant person would do such a thing.

I felt so much sorrow.

I saw her when I was headed to the private chamber

to tell his Majesty

that we lost our child.

So what?

You could walk away.

I was going to.

But she said some things.

I couldn't help myself.

What did she say?

"I will exile you all.

I will kick you,

Valide Sultan, and your son from this palace.

This palace is going to be mine.

You will be in chains."

Enough!

Suleyman won't hear about this.

We can't keep hiding this, Daye Hatun.

What if she dies?

Allah save her.

Don't say such things, Nigar Kalfa.

She is right, at least let me tell the concierge Ibrahim Agha.

Don't make me angry.

I told you, nobody will hear about this.

Don't let anyone in the chamber.

What about Ayse? She's staying here.

She can find some other place.

Take her some place else.

Come here.

I have something important to do.

Members of the council

agree with His Majesty

on declaring war against Hungary.

Be it for the better.

May Allah carry us to victory.

We can't underestimate our enemies even if they are ants.

We must prepare ourselves

as if they are lions.

Then

we will reach victory.

Hungary Buda Palace

We will crush them, Andre.

We will crush the Ottomans like ants.

The little boy Sultan Suleyman

won't even able to leave his palace out of fear.

He can't stand against all of Europe.

Is there any news?

Your Majesty,

Vatican says you made a mistake.

They did not approve

us sending the head of the Ottoman messenger.

Constantinople will be in turmoil.

They said strong decisions will be made.

Vatican doesn't have a say on how to rule my kingdom.

They should focus on heaven and hell.

They can leave me out of their heaven

if that is what they want.

This tower is so high.

I can see everywhere, Hatice.

We should come here all the time.

We can't, Mustafa.

We can only come up here on important days.

Why is today important?

We are going to war!

Our swords were getting rusty!

We haven't been on a campaign for four years.

Long live Sultan Suleyman!

Long live Sultan Suleyman!

Look, they drew their swords.

Where is my sword? I want to do it too.

Do you see those banners?

Is that my father's banner? It's beautiful.

When the banners are erected in the courtyard,

it means there is a campaign.

Our Padishah has decided to go to war.

I want to go to war with my father and Ibrahim.

Rice stuffing isn't ready yet.

I can't serve it like this!

When are you getting the lambs out of the oven?

You are too slow! I told you to hurry up!

You chose the rice, my Agha.

It doesn't hold the water.

I also chose you! Get out of here!

What is wrong, Seker Agha?

The Council is waiting

for their dinner, but we are late.

I am going to fire these idiots.

I can't disappoint His Majesty.

The meeting isn't over yet.

Stay calm, Seker.

Don't worry, you will make it on time. Give me some soup.

And prepare some meat.

It will be ready in a second.

No, I need raw meat.

Raw meat? What do you need it for?

For cats and dogs.

Why do you care?

Bring some raw meat from the pantry.

Come on, hurry.

Is she going to be okay?

I hope so, Inshallah.

She was shaken up pretty badly.

It will take some time for her to get better.

She can't drink any soup right now.

This isn't soup, I got some chopped meat.

And some eggplant on the side?

Are you out of your mind, Sumbul Agha?

We are going to put these

on her face, her eyes, everywhere.

The meat will stay there until it goes bad.

They are good for her bruises.

What are we going to do

when His Majesty wishes to lie with her?

What if he wants to know who did this to her?

Why are you here?

Get out of here.

I wanted to know how Hurrem Hatun is.

Like you don't know

how she is.

She nearly died.

Pray that she doesn't.

Now keep your mouth shut,

and forget what you saw.

Hurrem isn't around, Nigar Kalfa.

Where is Hurrem?

Please tell me, did something happen?

Mind your own business.

Why do you care?

-You must know. -Enough, Maria.

I don't answer to you.

Maria, stop!

Hurrem!

Hurrem!

You can't go in.

What happened to her?

Nothing important.

Just a fever. She's asleep.

Hurrem, say something!

-Hurrem! -Keep her mouth shut.

Or I will punish her.

Listen to her. Just shut up.

Are you looking for trouble?

They sent word from the foundry.

They are ready.

Good.

When should we go?

Now.

Are we going in disguise?

Yes, we should be cautious.

Make way!

Father!

My lion cub!

I want to go to war too.

You can't.

Then who is going to be in charge of the palace?

Or take care of your mom?

Has my mother been crying because you're going to war?

Let's have a chat, man-to-man.

Tell me, how is she?

Daye Hatun drove me out immediately.

From what I've seen, it seemed disastrous.

She was laying there like she's dead.

I wish she was dead!

Won't I have a sibling now?

He changed his mind because you didn't want him.

Forget about it. My Mustafa is worth the world!

When will you leave for the campaign?

When the preparations are done.

There is little time.

May Allah protect you.

My prayers will be with you.

Your prayers and your eyes will be with me.

That light in your eyes which drives me mad

will brighten my way at the darkest nights.

My Sultan.

I will choke you in a bag of rice!

How could you send me that low quality rice?

You will give me another bag tomorrow!

Yes, my Agha. Anything for the palace.

All lies.

If you don't take it back

you will be exiled!

You won't be able to sell anything again! You can clean sewers!

I will take care of it, I promise. Please take a seat, have some dried fruit.

I know you like them.

Do you have churchkhela too?

Okay, give me some.

Son, bring an oke of churchkela and dried fruit!

Here, Seker Agha. Have a seat.

Seker Agha, are you sure an oke isn't too much for you? Save some for the Sultan.

We heard His Majesty fell in love with a foreign concubine.

Maybe he did! Why do you care?

Whatever happens in the harem is private. You shouldn't talk about it.

Instead of paying attention to this matter...

Double banners were erected

in the palace!

Wake up, people! Sultan Suleyman is going on a campaign!

Long live the padishah!

Signore, the Padishah decided to go to war.

They erected the war banners in the courtyard.

Finally, I was expecting this to happen.

King Louis isn't aware who he is dealing with. The results might be disastrous.

Prepare a report for the Vatican, Venice and that fool in Buda.

The map of Europe is going to change.

Mom...

Dad...

Where are you?

-Hurrem? -Save me, Suleyman.

You are going to be fine, Hurrem.

My Sultan, he said more than enough.

His words are poetic, saying that he will take your eyes with him.

I wish he didn't go, Gulfem.

It would be enough for me to see his shadow at the window across.

This is war.

What if I lose him?

I am sure Concierge Ibrahim will come back to you without a scratch.

Don't be upset.

It's not my place to say,

but you can get married when he comes back.

Shut up, Gulfem!

What if my mother and His Majesty hear this?

It would be okay.

Remember what Valide Sultan told you this morning.

About children.

She wished the same for the women without kids.

She would be happy about it.

Her daughter who was left a widow at such a young age

will get married and be happy again.

Can I come in, my Sultan?

Come, Daye. My back and my neck are hurting again.

This helps a bit.

Stress affects the body.

I can't find peace anymore.

Were you going to tell me something?

It's enough, you may leave.

The doctor examined Hurrem.

She made some remedies.

She should be better tomorrow. I didn't let anyone in the chamber.

Just Nigar Kalfa.

Daye, keep an eye on her.

We should get this over with.

I trust you on this.

Close the terrace's door, it's cold.

And see if Hatice is still there.

Yes, Sultan Hatice is sitting at the terrace.

Gulfem Hatun is with her.

She seems lost in her thoughts recently.

She was left a widow at a young age.

I don't want her to wither here

in this palace, Daye.

We should find a suitable man for her.

A young, well behaved, proper gentleman.

A promising pasha, maybe.

Who shall be this lucky pasha?

I don't know.

I will speak with my son.

Hurrem.

Are you a gift from heaven?

Suleyman.

I want...

Tell me, whatever you want...

I want to believe in what you believe in.

I want to look at the sun that you look at...

...see what you see.

I want to believe in your Allah.

Do you want to become a Muslim?

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Pargali. Come in.

I wanted to see if you want anything.

I do, Ibrahim.

Fall in love and be happy.

Create your own heaven.

I am so happy because I have Hurrem.

Do you know what she told me last night?

-What did she say? -"I want to believe what you believe.

I want to look at the same sun as you.

I want to be a Muslim."

She said all these from heart. She said these out of love.

For me. To be one with me.

The things love is capable of doing...

Love, don't abandon us!

Hurrem.

Hum-rem.

Get up! You snake!

I lost my baby because of you! You murderer!

Suleyman.

Chief Admiral Pulak Mustafa Pasha.

-Is our fleet ready? -It is, Your Majesty.

It is an honour for me to introduce our new galleys.

How long have you been here, Matrakci?

I came here last night to work, Your Majesty.

What did you come up with this time? Show me.

I was thinking about a way to transport the horses, Your Majesty.

Now, we can carry the infantry

over Danube on boats.

We can also carry the cannons.

But the horses... It is crucial we have the horses with us.

I swear I will find a way, Your Majesty.

The new narrow galleys are also laid down, they are in progress.

Did you hear, Ahmet Pasha?

Pargali's narrow galleys are being built.

Take a look at them.

Calling those delicate boats "galleys" is an insult to our fleet, Your Majesty.

If you see fit, we should name them differently.

The important thing is that it works, Pasha.

And it is beneficial.

Let's go, Pargali. We'll take a look at them. Come, Matrakci.

Shame on you for putting a convert above your vizier, Your Majesty.

Don't talk like that, Pasha.

It's been two days since Hurrem's gone. Should it take this long?

Maybe she is not with His Majesty, and they fed her to the fishes.

No, maybe they cut her tongue.

They should rip her venomous tongue out.

Ayse Hatun.

-Have you seen Hurrem? -No, they put me in another chamber.

They said Hurrem is sick so I might catch something from her.

No!

Mom!

See what she did to your daughter.

Dad! The snake woman killed me.

I will kill her too!

My face!

Suleyman won't look at me anymore!

Hurrem Hatun?

Come here.

My face is dead! Let go of me!

You are going to be fine. You will be even more beautiful.

Come on, get in your bed.

Help! Maria!

-Lie down. -Stop screaming!

Allah!

-Allah! -Don't scream.

Bismillah.

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim.

Allah...

She became a Muslim.

Your Majesty, since these galleys are narrow

they have better mobility.

And the drop keel won't be very deep.

They will move twice as much on oars and sail.

Mashallah.

Mashallah.

Admiral, don't think I ignored Matrakci Nasuh's idea.

You should consider his insight. It might be useful for the ships.

Danube is crucial for us.

Ibrahim.

You somehow made those narrow gallows reality.

You obviously know a lot about this stuff.

We should ask the Admiral to make you a captain of one of these narrow ships.

I would do anything

the Empire wishes me to, whatever we need

to reach victory.

My Vizier.

My rank does not matter.

I would give my life.

His Majesty asks for Hurrem Hatun. Bring her immediately.

Did you hear me, Sumbul Agha?

Yes, I did, effendi.

Okay, then, go tell her.

Sure.

Drink this, come on.

You should eat something.

Hatun, don't make my angry now.

Drink this.

We are dead!

His Majesty is expecting her. How will she go there?

What are we going to say?

I know what you are going to say.

Hurrem.

His Majesty.

Are you going to tell me something important?

Sumbul Agha brought news from the harem.

Hurrem Hatun doesn't want to come.

I mean...

I think she is unavailable, or so she said.

How dare she?

I order her to come here.

Where have you been?

Prince Mustafa went to sleep too late.

Go check on her.

See how she is doing, I am dying to know!

Yes, my Lady.

What happened? She still doesn't want to come?

Effendi, my concierge.

I swear I begged her to go.

But she insists that she can't go.

Is she out of her mind?

Sultan Suleyman Khan is waiting!

Tell me, what are you hiding?

Make way, His Majesty Sultan Suleyman Khan!

How dare you oppose me?

Look me in the eyes and answer.

My face is dead, Your Majesty.

It is not worthy for you to look upon it. It is dead.

What do you mean?

Lift up your head.

Don't look. Go away.

Hurrem is dead.

Hurrem.

His Majesty has come to the harem.

He went straight into Alexandra's room.

Who did this?

Who dared to do this?

Tell me, my Hurrem. Who hurt you?

Tell me and I will see them dead.

I will suffer no one to make you cry.

Ma...

Mahi...

Was it Mahidevran?

Daye Hatun.

Take Hurrem to my chamber. Summon the physicians.

I will tend to her wounds.

Who knows what lies she is telling?

She has made herself the wronged and the victim.

She must be prancing around His Majesty like an angel.

It's a lie. Whatever she says is a lie.

Who do you think you are?

You are not my Sultan Mahidevran.

Tell me, how did this devil enter your mind?

-Your Majesty... -How dare you harm one of my harem?

A hand raised against her is raised against me.

I don't even want to see your shadow.

My sultan, please.

I don't want to hear your voice.

What have you done to us?

Mahidevran.

You have killed us.

Hurrem?

Hurrem.

Hurrem.

Who has done this to you?

It's nothing, she fell in the hamam.

Come on. It's bed time. Make your beds.

Come on.

Mother.

Welcome, my lion. Is something wrong?

You know that it is nothing good, Mother.

I don't know.

What happened? Tell me, so I know. Is it to do with the campaign?

We will be going on campaign soon. There are no problems.

My real problem is Mahidevran.

Mother, as of tomorrow, Mustafa will be staying with me.

Send her to the old palace in Beyazit, alone.

I don't want her in my palace.

I can't stand seeing her.

My child, have you lost your mind?

How is that possible?

Mahidevran is the Haseki Sultan.

She is the mother of your prince.

Such a disgrace has never happened in the history of the Empire.

It goes against all laws and traditions.

After what she has done...

...the law demands that she lose her head.

I haven't done that.

But it is not possible for her to be around me or in my life.

She will be punished, Mother. That is all I have to say.

Are you all right? Does it hurt?

It's better now you are here.

It will pass, my Hurrem.

It will all pass.

Don't upset yourself.

No one will harm a hair on your head ever again.

You are good medicine.

Don't go. Don't leave Hurrem.

Without you, there are troubles and beatings.

It's over.

Don't tire yourself out.

I am going to look after you, and make your beautiful face better.

Your Majesty, the chief physician is here to see the patient.

She is sleeping now. Let's not wake her.

Tell her to go. We'll call her if we need her.

Pargali.

Send her off, and come to the terrace.

Hurrem was so afraid, and had been hurt so much.

She was still shaking like a bird when I hugged her.

How could Mahidevran go so far, and do such a thing, Pargali?

Love sometimes makes people lose common sense, Your Majesty.

It can make us make mistakes that we regret and that are very hard to atone for.

There is no atonement for this, Pargali.

Every time I see her...

...I will remember Hurrem's torn-up face and soul.

She is to leave the palace. I will not see her.

Are they leaving, Your Majesty?

You speak of love, Pargali.

How can love blind people?

Can it make someone try to destroy their rivals?

I don't want that sort of love.

I want the reverence of love.

Suleyman.

Suleyman.

Suleyman.

I am here, Hurrem.

I am here.

Hurrem. Here you are.

-Here you are. Are you well? -I am very well.

The sultan made me better.

He stayed by my side day and night.

Your Turkish is better.

I spoke a lot with him.

Sultan Suleyman gave me lessons.

He was a teacher, like in school.

What about you?

What news of the harem?

Mahidevran is not well.

She is always crying.

And there is no baby. She has lost it.

The sultan was in a great rage.

Rage? Distressed?

He was very angry. They say he yelled a lot.

Because of what she did to you.

For days he has been looking after that girl in his room.

He is doing his best to make her better.

My Valide, it upsets me so much.

You should be grateful that you remain in the palace and be quiet.

My lion said that he didn't even want to see you here.

Time needs to pass for his anger to fade.

I have saved you from so much. Don't complain.

Look after your child, pray, do good works.

Be patient.

That woman poisoned him.

She laid spells on His Majesty.

She is a snake, my Valide. I know it.

She is a snake.

She will harm us all if we don't crush her head.

That's enough, Mahidevran. Don't suffocate me.

Come on, go and see to Mustafa.

You have forgotten him while worrying for yourself.

Don't neglect your duties as a mother.

Hurrem Hatun.

His Majesty has sent a chest full of presents.

They are beautiful.

Have the chest taken up.

Maria, come.

Let's see what gifts His Majesty has sent me in my chamber.

This is my tent.

And this is my tent.

-Pargali, are we ready to depart? -We are almost ready, Your Majesty.

We've received word from the foundry.

They have cast the two-piece cannon.

Good. Let's go at once.

I expect there are many spies about.

They are worried about the time and target of the campaign.

They know nothing.

They will understand what's going on when we begin shipping out.

We will erect command tents and raise our standard in two separate places.

One in Uskudar for the East.

One towards the Davutpasa Field for the West.

East and West.

They will be confounded.

Hungary, Buda Palace

Your Majesty.

Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?

Forgive me.

Important news has arrived from the Venetian ambassador to Constantinople.

The Ottomans have decided to go to war.

Have they declared war on us?

It is unclear against whom.

But the ambassador believes they will attack us.

The Ottomans will think, but they cannot do.

But if they lose their minds and come...

...I will teach Suleyman a lesson that he won't escape from.

I will bury him on his horse on the Buda Plains.

Go away. Go, Andre.

You became a Muslim? How did you do it?

You pray.

You say that there is only one God...

...that Mohammed is his Prophet...

...his subject and messenger, and you become a Muslim.

And you say, "In the name of Allah."

Here, Maria.

Don't give it to me. It's yours.

Maria.

Take it.

You are my only friend.

My only ally.

Thank you.

And you are my only friend.

Take this too.

Soon this palace will be mine.

The concubines in the harem will kneel before me.

They will all be my slaves.

And you will be my Daye Hatun.

Tell me, Matrakci.

Your Majesty, we have cast an incredible cannon...

...with the brave and skilled craftsmen here.

We shall see, Matrakci.

We shall see how much it is worth.

Put it together.

For Allah. In the name of Allah.

I am going to see Sultan Suleyman. He has asked for me.

Hurrem Hatun, go now.

I will call you, and you can come later. We are working.

Is Hurrem here, Pargali?

See?

My sultan heard me.

All right, Pargali.

Hatice, my beautiful girl.

For some time, you have seemed distant and sad.

Are you all right, my darling?

I am all right, Mother.

Hatice, come here.

We haven't talked about the troubles of the harem for a long time.

Misfortune found you at a young age, and you were widowed.

You have grieved.

Now it is time to think of your happiness.

You are young and beautiful.

You cannot spend one lifetime here...

...clinging to my skirts and doing embroidery.

I want to love my grandchildren...

...and see you happy.

I promised Mustafa that I would read him a story before bed.

He is waiting for me. By your leave, Mother.

All right, go.

The little lion cub is waiting.

Think on what I said, darling.

-My sultan. -Daye, you have been gone all day.

Did you have so much work?

Don't tire yourself out.

Fatigue is nothing. I will sleep, and it will pass, my sultan.

But...

...you know that Hurrem Hatun recovered and returned.

She is very cheerful. Her attitude has changed.

She is saying things like she would...

...own the palace, and that everyone will be her slave.

That's what happens if you treat a slave well.

As soon as Suleyman goes on campaign...

...I will show her whose palace this is.

His Majesty won't find her when he returns.

Look, Hurrem Hatun. This is the Danube.

We will send the fleet over here.

We will load the cannons and the gunpowder...

...and they will glide.

This is where the battle will be.

Are you not afraid of death?

War.

Blood.

Many will die.

Many families will be destroyed.

One cannot achieve victory by thinking that way, Hurrem Hatun.

Don't trouble your beautiful head with this.

He who sheds blood will have his blood shed.

After all, I did not discover war.

Humanity survives by fighting.

Civilisation is established by fighting.

I have to carry our standard further than my father, Sultan Selim Khan.

I have no one in the world but you.

No family.

No friends.

If you do not return to me, I will die.

Pray, Hurrem Hatun.

You are now in my prayers.

Allah forgive me, I didn't want a sibling.

My sibling was hurt, and he left.

I want it back.

The baby is only a small thing.

I don't want my mother to cry. Have my sibling come.

I promise, I will love the baby.

May my father love me a lot.

May my mother not be upset.

Hear me, Allah.

Mustafa.

Aren't you sleepy?

I'm going to sleep. Come and sleep with me.

Come to me.

Let's go to bed.

-Don't go. -Ibrahim is waiting.

We need to work. You sleep here.

It's only nice sleeping with you.

Hurrem is not well sleeping alone.

Don't say that.

Let me go. I have a lot to do.

Is it better to work with Ibrahim or Hurrem?

Are you jealous of Ibrahim?

Yes, he sees you more than I do.

It would be good if you got used to that.

Your Majesty.

Ferhat Pasa has crossed from Damascus to Kayseri.

He is keeping a part of the army there in reserve...

...to counter any threat from Iran, from Shah Ismail.

The governors of Egypt, Damascus and Diyarbakir...

...have established security.

The judges, lords, and governors along the way...

...have been given their instructions.

The roads and bridges are being repaired.

The storehouses have been replenished.

Thirty thousand camels have been sent from Anatolia.

Ovine and bovine herds have been purchased from villages.

Your Majesty, 15 thousand Azeb soldiers for Rumelia are ready for war.

They will join us in Edirne.

Ferhat Pasa is also to join us in Rumelia.

Ahmet Pasa, go swiftly, and supervise the gathering of the army in Edirne.

Kasim Pasa, my teacher.

The empire is in your care while we are on campaign.

Your Majesty.

It is a great honour to be entrusted with this great duty.

Do not be concerned.

May your path be clear, and your endeavour be blessed.

Signore Bailo, how are you?

I hope all is well, Signore Joshua.

It is, effendi. Have you heard?

A command tent has been erected in Davutpasa.

And now a new tent has been erected in Yeni Saray towards Uskudar.

Then which way will the army go to war?

-Who can know? -No news is being leaked from the palace.

Everyone is keeping quiet.

The sultan is playing with us.

What is it?

Is something wrong?

Yes, there is something wrong.

What is it?

Am I the problem?

You are with Suleyman a lot.

He has no time for me.

I think that's enough, Ibrahim.

Hurrem Hatun.

I am His Majesty's subject, his slave.

His brother, his comrade. Do you understand?

Get this into your head.

I am his concierge.

And you must know your place and your position well.

Hurrem Hatun.

You will learn my place and my position.

Ibrahim the snake.

Hurrem.

Were you waiting for me?

I was waiting for you, my sultan.

Sleep evaded me.

Don't cry.

Don't trouble my heart, Hurrem.

Don't tell me not to cry.

You leave tomorrow, and I die.

There will be no death, Hurrem.

You are not allowed to die while I am alive.

Do you understand?

It's forbidden.

Finally I see.

My heart loves.

If these are crimes, then kill me.

I have always asked Allah to be a martyr.

Thanks be to Allah that your glance was what killed me.

Who is Muhibbi to complain to?

Because what tortures him is love.

This handkerchief is from Sultan Hatice.

She said you are to definitely bring it back.

Please, convey my most heartfelt regard to my sultan.

Tell her that I promise to return victorious.

I will carry this handkerchief over my heart.

It will be my shield.

18th May 1521

His Excellency Sultan Suleyman Khan.

May your endeavour be blessed, Your Majesty. Allah protect you.

I will place the first brick on my father's tomb...

...with my own hands after leaving the palace.

I will pray and set out.

Of course, I may not return, Mother.

Let's place the first stone, the rest will come.

My lion cub.

I am coming to battle the infidels too.

I will put them to the sword, and present you their heads.

I hope those days will come, inshallah.

My Mustafa, we will conquer so much together.

Do not neglect school and your tutors.

Father, stop telling me to go to school.

The ceremony is beginning. It is time.

Pray for me.

Long live the Padishah.

Long live the Padishah.

May Allah clear your path.

May Allah clear your path.

May your sword be sharp.

Long live the Padishah.

Long live the Padishah.

Long live the Padishah...

Constantinople has never before seen such a ceremony of war.

People have been outside all day.

They are celebrating the Padishah's campaign.

The Ottomans desire war and victory.

The army is ordered and numerous.

Tens of thousands are outside. Sultan Suleyman is coming.

He will destroy Hungary. The people swear it.

Sultan Suleyman marches to take revenge on Louis.

I am Suleyman, son of Sultan Selim Khan.

Born to Valide Sultan Hafsa.

The tenth Padishah of the Empire.

The one who rules the Safavid, the Mamelukes of Egypt...

...the Abbasids, the regions of Syria...

...Palestine and the Hejaz...

...the silk and spice roads, the seas, and the deserts...

...the one sole owner of the eternal inheritance of the Ottomans.

I am Suleyman.

I have sworn to take my standard to the far West...

...on the backs of my horses running East to West.

I am sworn to bring peace and justice to my subjects.

I am sworn to bring peace...

...trust and blessings to every land I stand on.

I am sworn to return alive from my goals...

...and to live the happiness I left behind.
