Original subtitles

Yes?

I am waiting for your answer.

Mother Sultana.

You are making a mistake.

You're falsely accusing me. I'm innocent.

I read every line of it, Hurrem.

What happened between you two is obvious. This is betrayal!

No never.

I swear on my children. I didn't betray His Majesty. I cannot!

What's this then?

Leo.

We grew up in the same village.

I know him since my childhood.

When Tatars killed my family and kidnapped me, we got separated.

He thought I was dead.

And I thought he was too.

After years, it is destiny.

We met in the palace by chance.

When I saw him in front of me, I was shocked.

I wanted him to leave immediately.

I even gave him gold.

'Get out of here'.

I told him to stay away from me.

I swear to you.

There's only one love in my heart.

That love is his Majesty's.

You love turned out to be a lie.

No. It is not.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Nigar Kalfa.

She's been a witness since the beginning.

Put it there and then leave.

Gulsah.

Who cares about Nigar Kalfa's testimony?

Everything's written here clearly.

Not only Nigar Kalfa, Ibrahim Pasha is a witness too.

- Ibrahim? - Yes.

He knows that I'm innocent.

But he used it against me.

Even though he knew all the truth, he kept on pushing me.

He slandered, threatened.

Do you know what did he do?

He killed Leo by poison.

On top of that, he made me do it.

He cursed me the with an innocent man's blood.

That's enough, shut up.

If I betrayed his Majesty, wouldn't Ibrahim Pasha tell him at once?

Get. get out!

But he kept quiet because he also knows that I'm Innocent.

I told you to get out.

Get out my sight.

Mother Sultana.

Mother Sultana.

Your Highness.

Your highness.

Mother Sultana.

Call the physician now!

God save us!

Queen Mother suddenly fell.

You took it, didn't you?

Took what? What are you talking about?

You know damn well! Give the notebook back!

I don't know any notebook. Leave me alone.

Don't lie to me! I'll kill you.

What's going on here?

She's asking about the notebook she stole from you my Sultana.

Oh, that matter...

I thought you didn't have it. I thought you didn't take it.

You went behind my back again, Nigar

My Sultana. I found it later.

I'm sure you're telling the truth.

If you are looking for the notebook it is not here.

I gave it to the Queen Mother.

Run! The Queen Mother is sick.

- What happened? - They say she's very sick.

My god help her.

Hurry up. She suddenly fell.

Go.

I'll take her Highness.

You already read it. Tell me about it.

What's written on the notebook?

I don't know, your Highness. I didn't read it.

You are still protecting your Sultana.

But it is over, Nigar.

Nobody can protect her anymore.

What's going on? What's the noise?

What's going on? What are you running?

The Queen Mother is sick.

What are you doing? Let it go, it's mine.

When the Queen Mother recovers you can take it from her.

I said let it go. Give it to me.

Matron Daye, what's that?

None of your business. Mind your own business. Get out.

Come on.

Where are Nigar Kalfa and Gul Aga? They are never there when needed!

Your Highness.

Physician lady is inside. You shouldn't enter now.

What's the matter?

I really don't know. She was with our Sultana but...

What did you to her Highness? What did you say to make her faint?

I did nothing.

She suddenly fell.

Whatever happens in harem is blamed on me.

You are lying.

It happened because of you Because of the notebook, right?

What are you saying? I don't understand.

The notebook that you made Nigar hide.

Pressburg/Bratislava.

Your Highness.

Breaching Vienna's walls won't be easy.

But your legendary miners and powerful cannons are your strongest weapons.

I wouldn't want to be Ottomans' enemy.

Your Majesty it will be a huge problem that.

we couldn't bring the big siege cannons.

Don't worry, Pasha. Even though we don't have the great.

cannons I have no doubts that our gunners will do the job.

Is there a reply to the letter I sent to Charles?

Messengers said that the letter had just arrived.

A reply should arrive within a few days. But I'm sure it won't be positive.

We told him to surrender the city so there won't be so much casualties.

Archduke Ferdinand and Charles won't accept it.

Vienna

Sultan Suleyman wrote that if we surrender the city

without fighting, he'll let the citizens evacuate.

Emperor, your Highness.

I don't know how long can we stand without

getting the expected support from the Princes.

Trust me.

Bohemians promised me at the council meeting.

As soon as the Sultan steps foot in Austria, help will come.

Thus the support forces will settle in Linz.

A long as Ottomans stay here they'll be there.

We will never bend the knee

and we will not surrender.

What does it mean Nigar? Did you give the notebook to Queen Mother?

I really have nothing to do.

Was Mahidevran lying?

You had the notebook.

I had it, right. But she stole it from my room.

Who?

Gulsah.

Why didn't you bring the notebook to me?

I kept it to hide from others.

I buried it in the gardens.

You just said she took it from your room.

They sent me to Hatice Sultana's palace.

I thought to take it with me.

Why were you hiding it then? Why didn’t you destroy it?

I couldn't think of it.

I buried it, trying to hurry.

Who are you trying to fool?

You wanted to keep it to use it against me, right?

The most angel of the Sultanas.

Gul Aga. Where have you been?

I went to bring Hatice Sultana.

Something wrong?

Disaster.

Nigar.

You must bring me that notebook.

There's only one way, your Highness.

What is it?

Matron Daye.

Mahidevran.

What's wrong with her?

We don't know either, your Highness.

The physician lady is with her. We are waiting.

Mother.

Physician.

Is her condition bad?

Your Highness, her heart is weak. Her condition remains serious.

We've done what's necessary, my Sultana

We'll wait.

Mother...

Don't leave us...

What happened suddenly?

Why did this happen to mother?

Because of Hurrem.

So what will happen now?

There'll be no peace now, my Aga.

Blood will be spilled in the harem.

Don't say so. I swear my heart won't take it.

Like I said. Don't interfere with this. Stay away.

I don't understand what is in that notebook.

It's best if you don't know.

So what will you do?

Hatice Sultana wouldn't go anywhere before Valide recovers.

So I'll have to stay here.

Hurrem!

Sultana.

So you came.

- What pity, her Highness... - Shut Up!

I heard that mother is fighting for her life because of you.

Who's saying such things? It's all lies.

What lies?

We forgot the meaning of peace since you've arrived.

First you attacked Mahidevran.

You've done all kinds of trickery and

slander to make her fall out of favor

You've succeeded.

Then you attacked to Ibrahim and me.

You wanted to destroy our happiness. And now my mother!

Sultana.

You started this war, not me.

I'm just protecting my children and myself.

Who are you protecting from who?

Haven't you got it yet?

Your children

are my family.

You have no value compared to them.

Pray, Hurrem.

Pray that mother recovers.

If something happens to her,

I'll make you regret the day you were born.

We are not letting anybody in.

Please go back to your chamber.

I'm not here for the Queen Mother. I came here for you.

God, spare the Queen Mother’s life for us, for her grandchildren.

May you give her a long life, God.

Amin.

What would I do if something happens to her?

What would become of us?

Who would protect my Mustafa and me?

What are you saying Mahidevran?

My Sultana.

God forbid but...

If the Queen Mother dies…

…we will be left alone.

Hurrem will find a way to get rid of us.

Are you thinking about these things while my mother is suffering?

Shame on you!

You already killed her.

My Sultana, forgive me but I can't stop thinking about those thoughts.

That probability scares me so much.

Don't be afraid.

Just pray.

Her Highness will recover.

My mother will recover.

Pity.

Do you see what happened to the Great Queen Mother?

Her Highness will recover.

No she won't, Matron Daye.

Her Highness is old.

She has one foot in grave.

She'll pass away sooner or later.

As you know, death is God's command, is it not?

Your highness

I thought you have something to say to me.

I'm saying it.

When the Queen Mother passes away, things will change here.

Someone else will rule the harem.

Who do you think will that be?

Mahidevran?

Or the mother of three princes, me?

When that day comes. what will you do?

Wouldn't they send you off?

Where will you stay?

Will you be comfortable when you get older?

Have you ever thought about it?

Matron Daye.

If you'd like, I can offer you a good life.

There's a mansion in Catalca his Majesty gifted me.

If you do what I'll say, it will be yours.

You would live in wealth and plenty without needing anyone.

What do you want from me?

Very simple.

You'll give me the notebook.

Your Highness.

- I... - Calm down.

Don't decide so quickly.

Think a little.

You don't get such an offer everyday.

You are a wise woman.

I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

Nicholas's soldiers and our princes should be ready.

God is with us.

Sultan Suleyman will return as he came.

They'll leave, defeated and miserable forever.

We'll have the honor of kicking them out of the west.

The victory will be ours. I have complete faith.

Your Majesty, we are ready to attack.

We are waiting for your holy orders.

My Pashas, My Beys.

My brave men.

You graced the glorious Islamic flag of the Ottomans with many victories.

With Allah's permission.

With your faith and devastating power. These infidels will also perish soon.

May your cause be blessed.

Mother, mother she woke up.

Mother!

Mother.

Thank God.

What happened to me?

You had a heart problem, mother.

You've been unconscious for so many days.

Thankfully, God accepted our prayers.

Don't force yourself.

You should rest.

Mother, mother!

Mom!

The Queen Mother woke up.

Esma what happened? Is that true?

It is true my Sultana. They say she woke up and is recovering.

Oh...

What good news.

Thank goodness you are fine.

Don't be sad, my darling daughter.

I don't intend to go anywhere.

I'll be here for a while.

May God give you a long life, your Highness.

Amin.

The physician will be here in a while.

Sultana, you haven't been sleeping for days.

Rest a bit.

I'm fine. I'll wait.

I won't leave here.

Go, my angel.

You'll come again.

See? I'm okay.

Alright.

I'll be at Mahidevran's chamber.

If you need anything, call me. Please.

Daye.

Where's the notebook?

Did she take it?

Don't worry my Sultana, I have the notebook.

I put it somewhere safe.

Good. Go summon Hurrem.

But my Sultana, you are sick.

She shouldn't annoy you once again.

I won't be relieved as long as I live under the same roof with her.

Tell her to come here immediately.

This attack will take time, my Pasha

The weather is getting cold. Conditions will get bad.

We will tell our soldiers to endure. But we don't know how long they can last.

Do you have anything to say with your experience?

You are right, Bali Bey. I agree with you.

Rain clouds are over us.

Then snow will come after it.

We must take the castle as soon as possible.

What will happen now, your Highness?

I don't know.

But I have to get the notebook before the Queen Mother is back on her feet.

Otherwise nobody can save me and my princes.

We did what we could to find the notebook.

Gul Aga searched everywhere.

It disappeared.

Matron Daye.

The Queen Mother wants to see you.

That fast?

Matron Daye, did you think about my offer?

I prepared the deed for the mansion. You can have it whenever you want.

Matron Daye.

I won't go anywhere.

I'll wait for his Majesty here.

I'd find a way to exonerate my name in this matter.

Do you know why?

Because I'm innocent.

Be on my side.

This way, your Highness.

Mother Sultana.

Get well soon.

Come closer Hurrem.

Come here.

You summoned me.

I want to hear your decision.

Will you go or wait for your death?

You want me to go.

Where can I go leaving Mehmet. Mihrimah, Selim and Bayezid?

How can I breathe without them? Is it possible?

What kind of conscience is that?

How can you separate me from my children, home, my family?

If you'd thought about them, you wouldn't get yourself in this situation

-Mother -What's your decision Hurrem? Tell me that.

I shelter to Sultan Suleyman’s conscience, his Justice and love.

If my punishment will be death. I'd like his Majesty to decide for it.

I'd accept anything that'll come from that supreme rank.

-Matron Daye. -What? Why did you come?

When will I go to the other palace?

Hatice Sultana will be here for a bit. You'll go with her.

Nigar Kalfa!

Do you know anything about the Leo incident?

Tell me if you do.

Did Hurrem Sultana betray His Majesty?

You know what Hurrem Sultana has done so far.

There are things you don't know.

But you know that too.

Whatever she did, she did for the love of his Majesty.

Would she ever betray such love?

Never.

I saw it with my own eyes. I've lived through it.

I'd swear on the Holy Quran. Our Sultana is innocent.

Suit yourself, Hurrem.

I have been fair to you despite the hostility between us.

I wanted to spare your life.

But you rejected it.

From now on, it is not my fault anymore.

You may take your leave.

Yes, your Highness.

She said only her corpse would leave the palace.

It seems, this is inevitable.

I don't want my lion and grandchildren to witness such a thing.

What shall we do? Your orders, Sultana?

She will leave before Suleyman comes, Daye.

We'll send her far away. So far away.

She'll live in silence in an unknown place...

...keeping her mouth shut.

Make your preparations.

As you wish.

The God sent Turks to punish the Christians and teach them the right way.

That's why it is impossible to battle against them.

We must accept this and be patient.

These are the words of that Priest Luther you support.

Instead of fighting against our arch enemy, he's preaching surrender.

Luther also says that when God thinks…

…Christians suffered enough…

…that he'll make the Turks leave these lands.

It was never considered that Ottomans…

…would go this far and march on all of Europe.

There are signs of it in the Torah and the Bible.

The devil will come and then leave.

Ibrahim Pasha, report immediately.

Your Majesty.

Our casualties are increasing, your Majesty.

Neither Ferdinand nor Charles can't dare leave Linz Castle.

But on the other hand, we are pressuring the Siege. The towers are falling

But we have more casualties than we expected

I'm not pleased with the course of events.

The weather is getting worse day by day.

While it is encouraging the enemy soldiers, it's discouraging our men.

No stopping.

We'll break the enemy's resistance, continue the siege.

We'll finally end the Habsburg bloodline.

Their Kaiser will be finished with great disgrace.

We should destroy the Linz Castle that the emperor stays in.

Continue attacking without giving a break to the enemy.

The castle will collapse in a few days…

…and our flag will be on the towers of that castle.

I was very sad and worried about you.

My lion cub.

Don't be afraid. I'm fine now.

Mother Sultana, I'm wondering. Is there any news from his Majesty?

I get good news.

He'll return victorious very soon, inshallah.

Amin.

Mother Sultana, it is getting late. I'll put Mustafa to bed and come later.

What happened?

The preparations for Hurrem Sultana's departure are finished.

Good.

Send her right now and be done with it.

Sultana.

She will try to resist.

She'll go even if it's by force.

-Nigar Kalfa. -Sultana.

Tell them to get the bath ready. I'll take a bath and go to sleep.

As you wish.

Wait.

What happened? What's wrong?

Nothing.

Are not you pleased to be here?

Of course not, my Sultana. I wouldn't dare.

I just got cold. I feel a little weak.

Rest then. Don't get sick.

Come in.

Matron Daye.

Your Highness, I'm here by the Queen Mother’s command.

What happened? Is she calling me again?

No, my Sultana.

Guards are waiting at the door.

A carriage is ready to take you.

Please don't make a scene.

This matter should end in peace.

We got an order from the Queen Mother to use force if necessary.

Will you really do this?

Will you carry out this order?

Mother Sultana, you gave us a fright.

This palace would be such a dungeon for me without you.

Don't worry.

I won't leave Mustafa and you alone.

Your highness.

Excuse my curiosity.

Did you have time to read Hurrem's notebook?

Don't get involved in this. I'm doing what's necessary.

Is there bad news?

No, have a good night.

Good night.

You wanted to see me before leaving.

Thank you for coming here.

I came to prevent you from making a scene. Say what you will.

What will you do if I don’t go, your Highness?

When my lion returns. I'll have him read the notebook.

Which notebook are you talking about, Mother Sultana?

This one?

Why do you have it? How did you get the notebook?

Will you carry out this order?

No, your Highness.

Take it. It is yours.

The deed of the ranch I promised.

You made the right decision.

Don't worry.

This will remain a secret between us.

You are underestimating me, your Highness.

How did you take it?

You stole it, right?

Would it make a difference? I have it now.

You can't prove anything without this.

What does it change?

I'll tell everything. What I've read, what you've said…

That's a big accusation, Mother Sultana.

You would have to prove it. Anyway, his Majesty wouldn't believe you.

Because he knows about the hostility between us.

As you know, you killed my horse at first then my servant.

I'm going. This battle is over.

With God's help.

The victory is ours.

His excellency, the siege continues.

A good commander would not go on fighting under these conditions.

Sultan Suleyman will end the siege sooner or later, he'll gather his army…

…and go home.

A bird… Wants to fly.

It fell behind its flock.

It’s determined to get back to its beloved.

Look. How wet and shy...

It’s flapping its wings to meet its other half.

What good are the wings if you can't fly to love? says Rumi.

Who needs wings when you have love, says Yunus Emre.

Don’t fly to love, your wings will burn, says Saadi of Shiraz.

Don't be afraid, Suleyman.

Put your hand in the fire.

Be reduced to ash, burn and roast so you may die without dying.

You should learn.

So nothing can burn or scorch you.

So nothing can hurt our innocent, heroic men.

Knowing how to die without dying is always being alive, Suleyman.

It is always having your conscience as your compass, Suleyman.

Return, Suleyman.

Return.

Before freezing in water burning in fire...

Before getting lost in the storm bring your sons home.

Returning is not weakness, but maturity, Suleyman.

The damage we caused to the infidels and…

…the fear we put is their hearts are enough.

It's time to return. I'm lifting the siege.

November 1529

Your Majesty, welcome.

Is my harem ready?

They are ready to welcome you, your Majesty.

Thank goodness the Queen Mother has recovered, praise God.

What happened? Was she sick?

Her heart fell weak.

She gave us a fright but she's better than before now.

Private Chamberlain.

Come Sumbul Aga. Tell me everything happened when we were away.

You are fine, aren't you?

I'm fine now.

There are festivities all around the capital.

Everyone is talking about our victory. Everyone's talking about this happy day.

But there's a bigger happiness than the great victory in my palace.

To look at my sultana's one of a kind eyes once more.

Sultan Suleyman Khan his Majesty.

Mother.

My lion, welcome.

I just heard now, you had been sick.

Nothing important, it is over now.

I got so worried, how are you now?

Thank God, I'm fine.

God granted me to see your face once more.

What was the reason? Why did it happen?

I am of a certain age, my lion. We'll get used to these. Such things may occur.

May God grant you a long life, mother.

Your grace, welcome.

I wanted Nigar Kalfa to come here.

I could entrust our palace only to her.

She was my companion during your absence.

You did well.

My Sultana you know, we've come from a long way.

I'd like to take a bath at first.

Of course. Nigar Kalfa!

Have the favorite dishes of Pasha cooked.

I want everything to be special tonight.

The reason of my existence.

I'm filled with life again with your arrival.

Mother, if you excuse me, I will go to my chamber, I'm very exhausted.

The permission is given my lion. But I'd like to talk to you at an appropriate time.

It is an important matter.

Of course, your Highness. Whenever you wish.

The conditions were harsh, my Sultana.

We arrived to Vienna at the end of September.

The enemy has great casualties and also us.

If the weather conditions were in our favor...

a greater destruction would be coming to them..

We got what we wanted though.

We got all of Hungary back which was occupied by the enemy.

I prayed for this to be our last separation, Ibrahim.

You know.

We've been separated from each other since we got married.

Don't you worry.

I'll spend more time with you from now on.

Ibrahim.

I thought a lot during our absence.

Actually I'm afraid…

…to experience the same things

But...

Yes?

Say it, my sultana.

I want to give you a child.

Pardon me, your Highness.

- Your Highness. - Bali Bey.

It is nice to see you. How are you?

Praying for your health, my Sultana. How are you?

His Majesty is back. I'm delighted.

Malkocoglu.

I have a request from you.

Please.

My Prince Mehmet loves you very much. He always talks about you.

I desire him to be educated by a talented, wise and brave gentleman like you.

I hope you'll take care of him.

I'd be honored, your Highness.

Your Majesty.

I've missed you so very much.

My Hurrem, how are you?

What happened when I was gone? You had fears. Are you alright?

I don't want to talk about them now.

I've missed you a lot.

Nothing happened Nigar Kalfa and will never happen again.

Thanks, Nigar Kalfa. You may take your leave.

Nigar Kalfa.

Your grace.

I...

I came to tidy up the room.

Never ever enter this room when I'm here.

What happiness to see you laughing.

Don't think I'm happy.

I actually am not cheerful these days.

What is up?

I had made a sacrifice for you to come back unharmed.

I had wanted to do charity work at our holy lands, Mecca and Madina.

The Queen Mother wanted me to get permission

from Shaykh al-lslam Kemal Efendi.

I asked with a letter.

But Shayk al Islam Efendi didn't approve it.

Turns out slaves…

…meaning concubines in your harem…

…can't give charity to the holy lands.

I was very sad to hear that.

What are you sad about?

How can you be sorrowful about it?

Since you want to do charity work, I give you permission. Do whatever you want.

I can't. It's forbidden.

I am a concubine.

Doing charity work can only possible if I'll be freed.

Since you intend to accomplish this holy mission.

I'll support you.

I'm freeing you, Hurrem.

From now on, nobody can call you a concubine or a slave.

Suleyman.

You made me so happy.

Your grace.

Won't you eat something?

The breakfast is ready.

What do you think you are doing?

What's the matter with you?

You keep an eye on me all the time. Do you think I'm not aware of it?

Forgive me, your Grace.

But.. I can't forget about that night.

You'll forget that meaningless night.

Don’t think you will always be here, Nigar Kalfa.

I'll get you married at first opportunity.

You'll have your own home, own husband and a decent life.

Why don't you stay with me?

I must go see my mother. She's waiting for me.

Okay. The I'll have delights prepared and distribute tips.

Okay. The I'll have delights prepared and money distributed.

Why is it necessary?

You’ve set me free.

I'm free now.

Today is a big day.

Doing charity work in sacred Mecca…

…and Madina will be possible in my life.

Thank God.

The Queen Mother will be very happy to hear that.

- You look troubled. - It's nothing.

Have you heard about the rumors?

What do they talk about?

Some big mouths spread lies and plant seeds of hatred.

What do they say? Tell me.

They introduce the victorious Vienna campaign as a defeat to the people.

Good morning mother.

To you as well, my lion.

I'd like to inform you about something.

I'm Listening.

I set Hurrem free.

Also I dedicated her 150.000 silver coins to do charity work in Mecca and Medina.

Take care about this personally and do what's necessary please.

Why was it necessary?

I deemed it appropriate.

My Lion, are you aware of what are you doing?

It is not appropriate at all.

This is not allowed.

While I'm trying to keep the order of the harem, you destroy it.

How can you free that woman?

The woman you call "that woman" is the

mother of my four children, mother.

She can bear 10 children If she wants. You can't give that right to her.

It is against the practices of the palace and harem.

Do you want a riot to start in the harem?

Matron Daye.

Yes, your Highness.

I want to do charity work for Mecca and Madina.

Make the necessary preparations as soon possible.

How can this happen?

If you mean that I'm a slave, don't worry.

His Majesty freed me in the morning.

I'm not your equal!

I am not his concubine.

What did she just say?

She's freed.

She's lying.

It can't be happening. It is not possible

My lion, I warned you many times.

But you continue to make mistakes.

Every step you take for Hurrem may drag you and your…

…family to irreversible mistakes, don't you forget!

Mother, I implore you to end this matter.

Because I won't discuss my decision with you.

What did you want to talk with me?

I'm so distraught that I don't know what to say.

You said it was important.

I called you here to discuss the…

…circumcision feast of Mustafa and Mehmet.

As you know. It is time.

But I'm feeling bad now, I'm angry.

We'll talk later.

As you wish, mother.

So you are freed, is that so?

Yes.

Mighty God gives everyone as they deserve.

Inform Seker Aga to cook delights and distribute sherbet drinks.

- Sumbul Aga. - My sultana.

Distribute this to girls.

Besides.

Everyone shall make their requests. I'll take care of them personally.

God bless you Sultana.

May your touch turn to gold, Sultana.

Matron Daye.

What shall we do?

Haven't you heard the Sultana? Do what she said.

Your Highness, how do you do this?

Do what?

All this.

Even the great Queen Mother can't withstand you

This is nothing yet, Gul Aga.

Soon something will happen that'll shake the palace!

Shake the palace?

Oh my...

What will happen?

- Gul Aga. - Seker Aga.

Hurrem Sultana ordered delights will be baked.

and drinks will be served. Bake the delights a...

His Majesty freed Hurrem Sultana.

She's not a concubine anymore.

Look at me. If you give him a single delight, I'll make you sishkebab!

- You know my sishkebab! - Shut up!

I better go and cook.

Nigar Kalfa.

Are you crying?

No, I...

Tell me. What's the matter?

Tell me the problem, so we can find a cure.

My sultana.

What problem can I have?

If so, what's the matter with you?

When you want to open up, come see me.

Don't hesitate.

My mother wants to organize a circumcision feast.

It's time. Our princes are quite grown up.

But I want it to be a magnificent feast.

The feast should be spread all around the city.

It should turn into the celebration of our victory at the same time.

The voices of the ones who think we were defeated will shut down.

Some fools say that we were defeated.

How could the ones who are unaware of our aim know the truth?

Let them speak.

Your Majesty. Hurrem Sultana is here.

Let her in.

Your Majesty. Your grace.

How are you? It has been a long time.

Thank you, your Highness. You?

Thank goodness, I hadn't been better.

Did you talk about my freedom with the Queen Mother?

We did. They'll do what's necessary.

Ibrahim pasha, I tried too hard to get out of this mistake.

Nothing I did worked.

Nothing could destroy the love and respect I have for you. This is an illness.

And I'm a poor one who's struck by this illness.

I've been suffering for months.

Very breathe I take makes me choke.

That night, the night you want me to forget is always in my mind.

My body and my soul belong to you.

I know it is impossible.

I don't have any hope.

But don't expect me to live far away from you as a wife of another man.

If someone else touches me, I'd rather die.

Your Grace...

May God grant you a long life.

I have no other wish than your happiness.

Goodbye.

Your majesty.

Sumbul Aga.

You've asked for me.

Tell Hurrem to come here.

As you wish, your Majesty.

Prepare the table. It is dinner time.

I'm not hungry, my Sultana. I don't want anything.

What happened? Are you sick?

No, not because of it.

Hurrem sent her regards to you…

…and sent a message.

His Majesty had freed her.

She's a free woman now.

It was Hurrem's biggest wound.

There'll be no stopping of her pompousness.

Your majesty.

Hurrem Sultana wanted me to tell you that she can't come.

Why, is she sick?

No. Our sultana is fine thank goodness.

I asked the reason but she didn't answer.

Summon her to come immediately.

As you command, your Majesty.

I got exhausted today.

Have you been practicing playing violin?

I tried. But that violin is meaningful only when you play it.

I didn’t have the desire to practice when you were not with me.

Your majesty.

Hurrem...

Hurrem Sultana wanted me to say that she won't be coming to you.

Thank you my Sultana.

Go to sleep.

I'll get some fresh air.

What is the meaning of this Hurrem?

Why aren't you coming?

I have an endless love and respect for you, Suleyman.

But I can't come anymore.

Even if I wanted to, I can't sleep with you anymore.

Because it is a big sin.

What are you saying? What sin?

You freed me, Suleyman. I'm a free woman now.

We can't be together without getting married.

Otherwise it would be adultery.
