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

Mother.

Protect me.

I am to have a baby.

Your daughter has fallen in love.

Suleyman is a good Sultan.

He loves me so much.

He has gone to a great battle.

Let nothing happen to him.

For me...

...have him return for the prince who will be born.

Belgrade Castle 29 August 1521

Take the infidel throne away.

The ruler of the mountains and the sea, His Excellency, Sultan Suleyman Khan.

Do not be afraid.

Turks do not raise swords against those who ask for mercy.

Belgrade is now Ottoman land.

And I am your ruler.

You will witness the justice of Suleyman.

If you pay homage to me I will protect you as my subjects.

I will ensure that you live in peace.

Piri Pasa...

...collect no taxes from this land for a year.

Hand out two million akce from the Empire's treasury.

The city is to be repaired.

Immediately begin constructing new schools and mosques.

Take a census of the city and the surrounding countryside.

Take anyone who asks for mercy to the capital.

The governor is to look after...

...Smederevo and the province of Belgrade.

He has full authority. Have it so recorded.

Have it so proclaimed.

I am so glad to hear news of victory from you, Lala Pasa.

Thank Allah, he has heard my prayers.

I'm sure my lion will win many victories for the Empire.

And it was such a victory, my Sultan...

...that it has sent the infidel Louis scurrying away into hiding.

Inform the people so the celebrations can begin.

And we can prepare a magnificent welcome...

...for His Majesty on his return.

Do not be concerned, Valide Sultana.

By the way...

By your leave, I would like to ask you one question.

Mahdum Bey is most curious.

Has your concubine not recovered yet?

It has been a while.

He fell in love at first sight.

What should we do?

Her condition is still bad.

- It appears there will be no cure, Lala. - Is that so?

She is so young. How sad.

Grow, my son. Grow.

Hurrem, what if it's a daughter.

Don't be upset if it is.

My child will be a son.

I know it.

My son will be a Sultan like his father.

He will be a king.

He will do everything for his mother.

Girls, stop wandering around. Go downstairs.

The tailor hatun is waiting.

I am coming in a minute.

Hurrem Hatun! Hurrem Hatun!

Hurrem Hatun, come with me.

- Where are we going? - Come, we have work to do.

I am pregnant. I will not work.

Hurrem Hatun, come if I tell you to come. It's for your own good.

Look, you said it would be for my own good. Promise me.

- Nothing bad? - No, you will be happy. Come on.

Come on.

This is Bursa silk.

I want one of these.

This colour won't suit you, it suits me. I can't let you have it.

That's enough, you're giving me a headache.

You will all get your turn.

Hurrem Hatun. Your belly has grown.

- Nothing you wear will fit you now. - Hurrem Hatun.

Pick whatever fabric you like so that we can have new clothes made.

I don't like them. I won't wear such things.

Nigar Kalfa.

I have fabrics in my chest that His Majesty gave me as a present.

These fabrics...

...are not for me.

Only the most beautiful silks.

Worthy of Sultanas.

Put that away.

Take this ugly thing that is not worthy of His Majesty out of my way.

Anything ugly in His Majesty's harem will be disposed of.

Only the beautiful will remain.

The old palace is full of concubines like you.

You would fit in well there.

How can one who has given birth to a prince leave the palace?

How do you know it will be a boy?

I know.

It will be a boy. Then it will be a boy again.

Then it will be a boy again and again.

I hope you die in childbirth.

The physician gave it. She said it would ease the mind.

I only put a few drops in. Any more is lethal.

She said it would rupture the heart and drown one in blood.

Mustafa?

I've been a soldier since this morning. Let's play. Any stakes?

You don't get bored of losing, do you, Matrakci?

- I will take your dagger. - No, not that. That's from His Majesty.

I know, that's why I asked for it.

My concierge, a messenger has arrived from the capital with letters.

- Give them here, His Majesty is busy. - There's one for you too, Effendi.

All right, I accept your offer.

But you will wager reading that letter to me against the dagger.

- I changed my mind. Find someone else. - I have too. I'm not playing.

Find someone else, Matrakci.

Come on. Is there no one who will play matrak with me?

I won't take too much of your money.

Neither the light of the sun...

...nor the shining night stars ease my bleeding heart.

How many times has the crescent moon...

...become the full moon. But you are still not here.

The marble balcony is cold.

It is dark. It waits for its master, alone.

I wake up crying when I hear your violin in my dreams.

I pray to Allah until the morning prayer.

Allah, protect my moon and my star.

Unveil the light behind the darkness.

Guide those at war with your mercy.

Let them swiftly return to those who cry for them.

I think only of you.

Don't forget me.

There is good news from the palace.

Hurrem Hatun is pregnant. Inshallah I will be an aunt again.

Hurrem is pregnant.

She finally managed it.

The Ruthenian.

These fabrics.

They are very beautiful and noble.

This is what I deserve.

It won't end well if you don't hold your tongue, Hurrem Hatun.

How could you say such things to Sultana Mahidevran?

Her face rippled. I was afraid that she would slap you.

Don't be afraid.

She can't do anything to me.

I have Sultan Suleyman.

I have a prince.

My son is on the way.

What if something happens?

What if it's a girl? So many things can happen in this world...

...that we cannot even imagine.

Pray to Allah for a good outcome.

Does it suit me?

- Are you ready, Celalzade? - I am ready, Your Majesty.

This is the first account of conquest that I have written since Sultan Selim.

- Inshallah I will write many of them. - Then write.

When my edict reaches you, you will know...

...that I have marched on the Hungarians...

...to carry out the duties of the holy war...

...and the jihad that are duties for all Muslims.

I have travelled a long distance in a short time and entered the infidel lands.

Belgrade is such a castle that its foundations lie in the claws of fish...

...its towers kiss the feet of the North Star in the sky...

...and it is a castle that cannot be built merely with the strength of men.

We laid siege to the walls when the aid of Allah was granted to the Padisah.

The crocodiles of the sea of bravery, the janissaries...

...climbed the high ramparts of the castle.

The infidel enemy was defeated.

The breezes of the rose gardens of Islam have filled the people's hearts.

Nigar Kalfa, it's not working. I play badly.

You can't escape by saying it's not working. It will work.

A war has started.

They are coming.

Girls, calm down.

They are firing the cannons to honour His Majesty.

He has taken Belgrade and won the war.

He is returning.

His Majesty, my Sultan is coming.

The sharia of our prophet and the decrees of our law have been applied.

I have taken the advice of the lords and viziers in the council.

I have ordered our glorious army...

...to return to the capital before the season turns.

Your Majesty, this account of conquest...

...has been written in September 1521 in the Belgrade encampment.

Correct, Celalzade. You may retire.

Your Majesty, documents and letters have arrived from the capital.

There are the records from the treasury and a letter from Hurrem Hatun.

I will look at the documents later. Give me Hurrem's letter.

Your Majesty, my happiness.

Your subject, Hurrem, abases herself in the dirt beneath your feet in longing.

The Sultan of my happiness. Being apart burns my heart.

Your Majesty, there is another piece of good news.

Hurrem Hatun is with child.

That is not written here. How do you know?

There was a note for me from the harem.

I hope the child is healthy and auspicious.

Allah.

How many times have you made your subject Suleyman happy today?

Shall we begin firing the cannons?

Begin, Pargali.

Buda Palace

The Ottomans are afraid of coming to Buda.

Sultan Suleyman is in retreat from our lands.

I am grateful to my knights for the strong defence.

Your Majesty, my ears may not be working well due to my age.

But I can see, I am not blind.

There was not one single victory.

We have lost Belgrade, an important castle and city.

The people and the church have accepted this fact.

Is this victory?

Cardinal Paul.

Are you calling me a liar?

My church does not approve of lying, Your Majesty.

Lying is the greatest sin.

Vatican Palace

Sultan Suleyman has accomplished...

...what his ancestors have failed to do for centuries.

Louis did not take our warnings seriously. He didn't listen. He made mistakes.

Hungary has been divided down the centre.

The Muslims are now in Europe.

Everyone must learn from this. The army is returning.

He didn't enter Buda, he didn't dethrone Louis.

Don't think this war is over.

They will come again in the spring, once winter is over.

Remain vigilant. It is not over.

Long live Sultan Suleyman.

May your victories resound in heaven. Long live Sultan Suleyman.

May your victories resound in heaven.

Come and hug me, my lion cub. Come.

Is my father Sultan there now too?

Your father is the Sultan of the seven continents.

Hatice, I want to fight and conquer castles too.

You will, my prince.

But, Mustafa, don't jump around and get sweaty.

You will catch a fever.

Well done, Mahidevran. You have shown the maturity I expected of you.

You have stopped fighting Hurrem.

It did not befit you.

Thanks to you, my Sultana. You brought me to my senses.

I have learned from my mistakes.

Thanks to you.

Two months later...

My prince.

My son.

His Majesty has returned.

Inshallah he will see us today.

What if he doesn't?

What if he doesn't summon us?

What if he sees Mustafa and his mother and forgets about us?

No.

He wouldn't.

Would he, my son?

You are here.

I am here.

We will be part of the royal family too.

Don't kick.

You heard me, my darling son.

Your father is here.

- My lion father. - My lion Mustafa.

My son.

My Mustafa.

Mother.

My love, my lion. Your Majesty. Welcome.

Hurrem Hatun will be giving birth to a prince.

I know, Mother. My happiness is immeasurable.

Is that so? The spies are working well.

My Hatice.

Your beautiful face can smile now. I am home, safe and sound.

Mustafa.

Hurrem.

Come inside and close the door.

I just want to look from afar.

I want to see his wonderful walk.

I haven't seen his face yet.

His Majesty is probably seeing his family before you.

The Valide Sultana, Sultana Hatice.

- He's probably seen her too, right? - I'm sure he has.

Is she not the Haseki Sultana? She is also of his family.

What am I then?

Am I not Sultan Suleyman's woman?

First give birth to a prince.

Then you will be counted as one of the family.

I will.

You will see.

I will give birth to a strong boy.

Gulsah, do you love me?

What sort of a question is that, my Sultan? Of course.

Would you do anything for me?

I would even give my life.

Not your life.

I want Hurrem's life.

You said that too much was lethal.

Take this bottle.

Have it put in her food tonight.

Let it be over.

Let her not see the morning.

But, my Sultana, how can I do that?

- I can't enter the main chamber. - Find someone who can.

Bribe someone, do something.

Then come and make a wish.

Master of Privy Chamber Ibrahim Agha.

Sultan Hatice will be in the fig grove after dark.

And she sent you this.

Tell my Sultana that I will definitely be there.

Sumbul Agha.

Tell Hurrem Hatun to prepare.

At once, Effendi.

I will bring her myself. Do not be concerned.

Slow down. A lady walks elegantly.

Hurrem, don't jump. You are with child.

- Stop. You will lose the baby. - There is no reasoning with this woman.

Your Majesty.

My Suleyman.

My Hurrem.

I am back.

I am back, my soul. My life.

I am back.

We will not be apart again.

Hasibe, come here.

What is it? Why have you called me? It's meal time, I need to go back.

I'm going to give you something.

- You are to put it in Hurrem's meal. - What is it?

No, this is something bad.

It is not bad. She just won't be able to hold it in tonight.

She will have diarrhoea. She won't be able to lie with His Majesty.

They will kill me. What if His Majesty eats it?

Lady Hasibe, she will have diarrhoea.

The midwife will say that something affected her. You will be safe.

Pour this bottle on her pudding.

His Majesty doesn't like pudding.

That devil eats all of the sweets, don't worry.

Do it.

I will shower you in gold.

You aren't lying, are you? It's just diarrhoea?

Your Turkish has developed while I was away. Well done.

Did you like the letter?

Did you write that letter yourself? Tell me the truth.

Is your writing that good?

The words are mine, the writing is Nigar Kalfa's. But...

...I am trying to write well.

Give me some paper. I will write now. Give it.

You don't believe me.

Don't spoil my writing.

Let me see what you have written.

"The Sultan is my love."

Will you look at that?

Look what my Hurrem can write.

Let's see, Taster Agha.

Is that enough poison? Have I got it right?

Don't speak like a lunatic, Seker Agha.

Don't say such things. Even joking is bad.

His Majesty will enjoy it. Send it up. It's clean.

All right then.

The dessert is ready.

The dessert is ready. Come and get it.

Take it up without shaking it.

Don't let my creamy quince dessert fall apart.

- Master Of Privy Chamber. - Welcome, my Sultana.

The Sultana of my heart.

I thank Allah that you have returned safely.

I had given an offering to His Holiness, Sultan Eyup.

- Tomorrow never came soon enough. - These eyes protected me.

It was with me while I was fighting the infidels on the field of battle.

I carried this handkerchief over my heart, my Sultana.

- Your Majesty, the dessert has arrived. - Bring them in.

My dessert has arrived. I am dying for some dessert, Your Majesty.

This pain will pass.

My family will find peace.

His Majesty will love me as he did before.

He won't be parted with Mustafa and me.

My Sultana.

It's you. What did you do?

Just like we said. Don't worry.

It was poured on the plate.

- She must have eaten it already. - Are you sure?

My Sultana, are you all right?

My head.

I have a terrible headache.

It's intolerable.

Eat slowly.

It's all yours so slow down.

You are like a child.

It's not me who wants the dessert, it's my son.

Hurrem?

Hurrem?

Hurrem, what's wrong?

- Hurrem, what is it? - It hurts so much!

Aghas! Guards!

- Hurrem! - Command us, Your Majesty.

Summon the chief physician!

Hurrem! Hurrem, look at me!

What are you waiting for? Hurry!

Ibrahim!

I was lost in thought by the fire writing a letter to you...

...when suddenly His Majesty was beside me.

Oh, no.

At first I didn't know what to do.

Then I threw the letter in the fire.

The feelings you wrote of...

...were they burnt away?

I am still burning, my Sultana.

What did you write in that letter?

Your eyes, my Sultana.

They lit up the Danube...

...the night...

...and my soul.

Allah.

Forgive me, Allah.

I had no other choice.

Hurrem, open your eyes.

Hurrem, wake up!

Hurrem!

Breathe, Hurrem. Breathe!

Hurrem, wake up!

She isn't breathing.

Hurrem.

Hurrem, wake up.

She was eating the dessert when her eyes rolled and she fainted.

Bring a bucket.

- She's been poisoned. - Do what you have to do!

Your Majesty, I will raise her head and have her sniff this.

If she throws up, she will live.

Here is the bucket.

We haven't heard anything. So she didn't eat it.

That girl of yours didn't do it. We would have heard.

Go and take a look in the courtyard. Find that girl.

No, no.

Don't go out.

They mustn't suspect us.

Calm down, my Sultana.

We will receive news soon.

I hope we will receive...

Someone is running downstairs.

There is movement.

Come on.

Her insides were almost rotting.

Sumbul Agha, how could this have happened? Who is the culprit?

Where is Ibrahim?

I have to go.

- I'm afraid someone will see us. - I am afraid too, my Sultana.

Afraid of never seeing you again.

Or never touching your blessed hands again.

My Sultana, Nigar Kalfa is coming.

My Sultan, go over there and keep quiet.

What is it Nigar Kalfa?

I was looking for you Master of Privy Chamber.

His Majesty summons you.

- It is urgent. - What has happened?

Hurrem Hatun has fallen ill.

- How is she? - She has a fever, Your Majesty.

I will wrap her in cloths soaked in vinegar.

Inshallah the child in her belly won't be harmed

Mother.

You will get better, Hurrem. You will get better for me.

Your Majesty.

I hope she gets well soon.

Where have you been, Pargali?

You wouldn't know if I had died.

I went out for a walk...

...when you retired for the night.

How is she?

Not good.

Hurrem was poisoned.

I want the head of the culprit.

Your Majesty, who would dare?

Could it not be something she ate?

I saw it, Ibrahim.

I saw what came out of her with my own eyes.

She is burning up to fight the poison.

Find the person who tried to kill us.

I could have eaten that dessert as well.

I am keeping the tray here.

That's the dessert dish.

Sumbul Agha.

Find the culprit, whether in the kitchen...

...at the door or at the lift, and bring him to me.

Hurry.

Su...

- Suleyman. - I am here.

I'm with you, my Hurrem.

My son, my baby.

It's passed, you will be fine. So will my son.

Go and call Hatice.

Hang on, stop.

I will go, you prepare my bed.

My Valide Sultana.

Daye, if it's something bad at this time of night...

...don't tell me.

I must, my Sultana.

Hurrem Hatun...

...has been poisoned.

What? Poisoned?

Girls, have you heard?

Hurrem has taken ill.

She is fighting for her life.

What?

Who said that?

Could it be a lie?

Nigar Kalfa said so.

The chief physician is trying to save her.

But it's bad.

I don't know if she will make it to the morning.

My Sultana, the harem is in turmoil. They have heard.

What have they heard?

Is she dead?

She is fighting for her life.

- They say she won't see the morning. - It's like she has seven lives.

Go and speak to Hasibe.

Perhaps she didn't use enough.

You failed, Gulsah.

My Sultana, I did what you asked of me.

- What did I do wrong? - Don't answer back.

Go find your accomplice and shut her up.

My lion, I just heard.

How is Hurrem Hatun?

I almost lost Hurrem.

Perhaps it was something she ate.

- After all, she is pregnant. - There was poison in the food.

Has the poison reached this far?

It can't be, my lion. Who would dare?

Mother, father. They have killed me.

Come and take me.

You cannot leave, Hurrem.

I won't let you go. You are my Sultana.

You are Sultana Hurrem.

Hang on, Sultana.

Nigar Kalfa!

Tell me.

Who poisoned the food?

- Tell me. - I don't know.

- Tell me! - I can't breathe!

I will strangle you!

I will kill you!

What is your life worth anyway?

I will tear the entire harem down, do you understand?

- Tell me who poisoned the food! - I don't know!

Hasibe, what is this?

- Get up, someone will see. - Let them see.

You have killed me, Gulsah.

I believed you as you are from my town.

Well?

She was supposed to have diarrhoea.

You said she wouldn't be able to lie with him.

Look what happened! She is dying.

Shut up.

Someone will hear.

- Come here. - Let me go.

Quiet.

Let's talk over here.

In the name of Allah.

It's poison.

There is poison in the dessert.

Do you hear that?

Do you see?

Poison.

How did this happen?

Have you swallowed your tongues?

Who is the traitor?

It left the kitchen clean Master of Privy chamber.

The tasters taste it. It all happens in front of me.

- Allah is my witness. - Who brought the tray here?

We don't know what happens after the kitchen.

Recep took it to one of the girls in the harem.

Which girl, Sumbul Agha?

Today it was Hasibe.

And she went down the golden road and gave it to one of your guards.

Where is Hasibe?

- Bring her to me. - As you command.

I am dead, they will take my head.

- How could I believe you? - That's enough, be quiet.

There is no need to worry.

There is nothing for you to worry about! It's me who is in trouble!

I took the tray! I poisoned the food!

They will know!

But I am going to tell them the truth.

I am going to tell them that you tricked me.

Don't you dare tell them.

That's enough! Be quiet!

Mother, I have your answer. Listen to what Ibrahim said.

There was poison on the plate.

It's not spoiled milk like you said.

Poison made it to my table in my own palace.

Thank Allah that he protected you.

My Hurrem.

Someone tried to kill Hurrem and the child in her belly.

I will take the traitor's life, whomever it may be.

Hasibe is a pitiful little girl. Who is she to poison Hurrem?

She must have had an accomplice. The poison did not fall from the sky.

What is it Gulsah?

What are you doing here at this time of night?

I was... My Sultana has a slight headache.

- I came to get oil of... - You go back. I will have it sent up.

Don't leave your Sultana alone.

Don't wander about tonight.

Understood.

May Allah give you comfort.

Daye Hatun.

How is Hurrem? Do you have any news?

I can't be bothered with you now.

Where is Hasibe?

- We haven't seen her. - What do you mean?

Nobody knows?

The last time we saw her was last night in the courtyard.

- Why are you looking for her? - Allah give me patience. What's it to you?

Lie down. Put out your lamps and sleep.

Yes, Sultana Hatice?

I couldn't stay in my room. It felt too small.

Did you hear what happened to Hurrem Hatun? She is ill.

Is that so? I hadn't heard.

Aren't you going to ask what happened?

What's it to me, my Sultan?

As if I don't have troubles other than the Russian concubine.

She was poisoned.

What if she dies?

It is in Allah's hands.

My Sultana.

Come in, Gulsah.

What is it? You look so pale. Do you have bad news?

No.

I couldn't find any oil of thyme. My Sultana has a headache.

- Is that so? Get well soon. - I'm fine.

I sniffed oil of camphor, I am feeling better.

We have looked everywhere, Daye Hatun.

Nobody has seen her. There is only the laundry left.

Go and take a look. I'm exhausted.

Allah. Where is Hasibe?

Sumbul Agha, come with me.

It's dark there.

All right.

Hurry.

Have you gone insane? How could you?

I did it for you, my Sultan.

Otherwise she was going to confess everything.

We would have been destroyed.

She hung herself.

We are saved.

Are you comparing yourself to me?

You did a bad job and ruined it all!

You will bear the punishment for this crime.

I am the Haseki Sultana.

Don't let that slip your tiny mind.

My Sultana.

I didn't want it to be this way.

You did.

You wanted to kill Hurrem.

What do you know of Hasibe?

I know her to be a polite and dutiful girl.

Throw them all in the dungeon.

Take everyone. The guards and everyone in the kitchen.

What would have happened if His Majesty had eaten the dessert too?

It came this far after being tasted by so many people!

What use are you guards and tasters?

Whoever committed this terrible crime will pay with his life!

Master of Privy Chamber...

Seker Agha, go to your kitchen.

We found her, we found her.

But something has happened.

What has happened, Sumbul Agha? Stop beating around the bush.

She hung herself in the laundry.

She punished herself.

Master of Privy Chamber

She must have been afraid of the consequences.

She was just swinging on the end of a sheet.

Does she have no one close to her?

She must have a friend.

Bring them to me.

She wasn't a noteworthy concubine.

- Her work... - Daye Hatun.

Don't tell me these things.

You are the highest ranking official in the harem.

Bring them to me. I don't care.

I saw Gulsah before we found Hasibe.

She looked so scared and panicked.

What are you saying?

We saw Gulsah, but...

...she was looking for medicine for the Haseki Sultan.

Isn't that so, Sumbul Agha?

That's why she was in a panic.

Is that so?

Go and get Gulsah.

Come on!

That's enough, don't cry. You're making me angry.

My Sultana, excuse me. I am sorry for disturbing you at night.

Ibrahim Agha, summon Gulsah.

By your leave.

Why is he asking for her?

I don't know. He said that she is to go immediately.

You may go, Gulsah.

Come here, Gulsah.

Daye Hatun, leave us.

Here.

Don't cry, Gulsah.

Don't cry.

Don't be afraid. Tell me.

What should I tell you, Effendi?

I don't know anything.

- Why was I summoned to your presence? - Gulsah.

I have known you since we were in the Manisa Palace.

Don't talk to me like that.

Don't lie to me.

I would never, Effendi.

I couldn't.

How could I lie to you?

Now...

...you are going to tell me everything. But you will tell the truth.

I have committed no sin.

Sultana Mahidevran commanded everything.

She gave me the poison.

I found Hasibe from my town.

She did it after leaving the kitchen.

Be quiet! That's enough! Shut up!

You will not speak the name of the Sultana.

Do you understand me? You will take your silence to the grave.

Hasibe hung herself.

How do I know that you didn't do it?

For my Sultana.

- I swear it was for her! - I told you to shut up!

Be quiet! Be quiet!

Do you understand? Be quiet.

Take her away.

Remove what you found without causing a panic.

Thank Allah, Hurrem is safe, Pargali.

The physician said she'll be well by the morning.

I hope she feels better soon.

It appears I love that woman a lot, Ibrahim.

I almost lost my mind when I saw her thrashing around.

What have you done? Have you found the traitor?

I have questioned everyone involved.

Those who neglected their duties will not see another dawn.

The concubine who poisoned the food punished herself.

She hung herself.

So she cannot confess as to who told her to do so.

Whether you protect and hide her or not...

...I know who had the food poisoned, Ibrahim.

The traitor is not far.

We were all dead.

Infidels had taken the palace.

Don't be afraid, Mustafa. It was a dream. It's over.

Your father and I will never abandon you.

The war is over.

His Majesty has returned victorious.

He has defeated the infidels.

My lion.

Look.

Our family is together.

I am with you.

Go to sleep, my lion.

Dream of our happy family.

Master of Privy Chamber gathered everyone and asked how it was done.

How could Hasibe have committed such treachery?

I cannot understand, my Sultana.

He questioned Gulsah too.

What would Gulsah know of it?

Whatever, Daye. Do whatever Ibrahim says.

Assist him.

This disaster must be resolved before people hear of it.

Take all precautions.

My lion, has Hurrem taken a turn for the worse again?

Stop that woman.

If you don't, I will.

Who should I stop, my lion?

Restrain the Haseki.

I am talking about the woman who sent poison to your son's table, Mother.

This is the last time, Mother.

The last time.

I won't suffer this again. Remember.

Why did Ibrahim summon you? What did he say?

Nothing. Just...

He asked some questions.

He asked if I knew Hasibe.

And?

They found Hasibe's body.

They are asking around to find her friends.

I told him she was from my town, but...

...we didn't speak much...

...and that I am always with the Haseki.

Is Hurrem's condition still bad?

Very bad. They say she won't make it till the morning.

Tomorrow will be an auspicious day.

What a difficult night it was, Pargali.

Morning still hasn't come.

I want to see the sun and the light.

In the morning...

...I want the sun to cover the disgraces we have suffered.

The sun will rise soon, Your Majesty.

Not long now.

I went to Mahidevran.

I wanted to demand an explanation for her treachery and sever her from my life.

But I couldn't.

As I entered, she was hugging Mustafa and talking about our family.

Our happy family.

Our loving, respectful...

...and whole family.

I couldn't do it, Pargali.

When I saw my child's innocent face...

...I left.

I didn't show myself.

Let my son think that we are a family...

...and we live in peace.

Let him be happy.

I couldn't do it to Mustafa.

I will remember this, Pargali.

I won't let my heart forget this.

I will never forgive Mahidevran who poisoned our family.

Your Majesty.

Your conscience will not let you do that.

Ibrahim, nobody should dare to try my conscience.

If it is my conscience, I will hear its voice if I choose to do so.

Don't give me such warnings.

One pays for one's mistakes.

It is going to be a good day. I can feel it.

Gulsah, all our troubles are leaving.

Yes, my Sultana.

Good morning, my Sultana.

Ibrahim Agha, the Master of Privy Chamber wishes to see you immediately.

There is an important matter.

Is that so?

Wait outside, I will come presently.

Ibrahim is calling me to give me the good news.

Thank Allah. You heard my prayers.

Gulsah, be happy. We are all saved.

Give me my headscarf. Let's not keep Ibrahim waiting.

What is it, Hurrem?

Look.

There is nothing.

My son kicked.

My son is alive.

Sumbul Agha, how is your patient?

I heard that she was pretty bad last night.

Yes, last night was hard.

We worked a lot. She was in a terrible state.

She almost died.

But now she is much better.

Welcome, my Sultana. I am grateful that you came.

I came because you said it was important.

Otherwise this door only gives me pain.

My Sultana.

His Majesty mustn't enter...

...or know that we are here.

Don't worry.

It has been a long time since His Majesty has seen me.

He won't even look me in the eye.

It's as if I don't exist.

As if we haven't slept on the same pillow.

As if I haven't given birth to his son.

- I mean... - Is that why you tried to poison him?

First the matter of the ring.

Then the beating.

Then poison.

His Majesty could have eaten that dessert.

My Sultana.

He has already embraced the poison.

That snake poisoned him.

She snared his mind and blinded him.

The Russian slave will poison our dynasty.

Don't say such things.

If you continue like this...

...I can't protect you or Prince Mustafa.

I regard you as my family.

You are priceless to me.

As long as I am alive and breathing...

...I swore to protect you and Mustafa.

How can you protect...

...what Sultan Suleyman doesn't protect...

...and ignores, Ibrahim?

You are to stay away from that woman.

Don't speak to her.

Look after Prince Mustafa.

He needs to prepare for the throne.

Spend your time doing that.

Do you hear that?

If it wasn't for Mustafa, I wouldn't hesitate for a second.

I would take my life now.

Don't think of what's behind that door.

Turn your heart to stone.

Learn to share His Majesty that you love.

Keep quiet.

Destroy yourself. That is what you are telling me to do, Ibrahim.

How will I bear such sorrow?

Slowly.

You have eaten enough.

It's not me.

The boy wants cream and honey.

I see you are better. Your mouth won't stop.

If you keep eating like this, you won't fit through these doors.

You don't love me because I'm fat? I am not speaking to you.

I love you in all your forms.

Come here.

I will dip you in honey and cream and eat you, Hurrem.

Don't punish Gulsah. Forgive her.

I have nobody else.

Have her go away for a while.

She mustn't be here. Send her to the Edirne Palace.

It will all pass.

You will be happy with your prince as you were before.

Help me, Ibrahim.

- Don't abandon us. - Don't worry, my Sultana.

I gave you my word.

We need to get rid of that woman.

Or she will get rid of us.

You and me.

My Mustafa.

Last night they poisoned me.

What if I had died?

I would be under the dark earth now.

Don't worry, you will always be with me.

Ibrahim toiled until the morning to find the culprit.

Those who neglected their duty were punished.

Will Ibrahim be punished?

Why didn't he defend our lives?

Where was he?

Don't think of such things. Ibrahim knows what to do.

Do you have any idea how many times he saved me from death?

You got angry at me and are leaving.

I'm not angry. I'm going to see Ibrahim.

Ibrahim!

Why was the door locked?

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

There were many going in and out of my room last night.

I locked it and forgot to unlock it.

- Are the ambassadors coming in today? - Yes.

The Russian and Venetian ambassadors will be in the audience chamber.

I expect you are going to the Valide Sultan.

I will begin preparations.

I don't think I will see my mother this morning, Pargali.

Let's get to work.

Prepare the chamber in the corner for Hurrem Hatun.

Her pregnancy has progressed. Give her concubines to see to her needs.

Finish the preparations today.

Nigar Kalfa will see to it immediately, my Sultan.

My Sultan, I will see to it myself. Do not be concerned.

Inform the kitchen they are to feed her carefully.

There mustn't be a second mistake.

I don't want any more fights or quarrels or complaints until the birth, Daye.

I will hold you responsible.

Nigar Kalfa, please finish it today.

I have had enough, Daye.

I miss the peace in the old palace.

There's always a crisis here.

My lion constantly roars at me.

I can't breathe.

Leave me and go.

What if I die while you are gone?

Six-year-old Mustafa is more logical than you.

You are well, mashallah.

There are so many people to look after you, but you still ask me not to leave.

Your soul is still a child.

Me or work?

Now it is time to work.

The evening is time for you.

The ambassadors have arrived and are waiting.

I am ready, Pargali.

Get well soon.

Do you know who poisoned me?

That matter is closed.

It's closed, is it?

You closed it.

- You are involved in it. - Be careful what you say.

Yes, Agha.

Command us and we will shut up.

Where were you last night?

Poisoned dessert was brought to this table. Where were you?

Hurrem Hatun.

I have warned you before.

I forbid you to speak to me like this. Otherwise...

Otherwise what? Will you try to kill me again with Sultan Mahidevran?
