Original subtitles

We'll hit the road in a couple of days or so..

Can't we stay a little longer?

Manisa is a beautiful city, and I couldn't see around.

Mihrimah is right Your Majesty, you've just arrived.

We would like to host you for some more time.

What do you think Hurrem?

You know what's best, Your Majesty.

But Bayezid and Selim must have missed us.

I can't rest easy while being away from them.

Me neither.

If you'd like, we can go see around today.

I'd be glad to.

Your Majesty, Prince Mehmed--

Mehmed!

Mehmet?

-Is he alive? -Yes, he's breathing.

-Mehmet! -Brother!

What happened? Who did it?

We were in the woods, suddenly we were ambushed.

Where are the physicians? Hurry up!

Get the women out now!

Leave him.

Hurrem come.

And Pasha brought the child here.

So this is the situation, woman.

I brought you here, as this was the order of the Pasha.

He wanted you to know.

He will even let you see her.

He couldn't separate the mother from the child.

Nigar...

You'll see your daughter occasionally.

That's all.

Do not expect anything more.

Do you understand?

God, where is she? What do I do now?

Rustem Agha?

-Rustem Agha! -Hurry up and help!

-She fell from the horse. -Oh God, is she alive?

At last you smile, Your Highness.

Last night I talked with Pasha.

I explained how I feel.

He said, "Get rid of your suspicions, I'll always be with you."

I'm glad to hear that.

It's best to talk instead of keeping it inside.

What will happen to the child?

He wants to adopt her, he has the right to do so.

I won't hinder him, I do even want to support him.

I will visit her today.

-Will you visit this child? -I will.

Ibrahim must be in the palace now. I shall go when he's not there.

I wonder what she is and if she needs something.

Come with me.

I swear I'm not guilty, Lady Afife. The horse was mad! I couldn't help her.

It's my fault for entrusting her to you!

-Lady Afife? -Firuze?

Thank God... Are you alright?

Hold on girl, don't move. Lie down.

-How did I come here? -The guards have found you.

Tell me what happened.

I was riding a horse and suddenly I fell from it.

I don't know how it happened.

What is her condition?

Your Majesty, he's gravely wounded.

The arrow sank deep.

Do what you must and save him or I'll have your heads!

Do not worry, your grace. We're doing our best.

-Hurrem, you do not look good. -You need to lie down.

Take your hands away from me, do not touch me.

I know what you think...

but I swear to God I'm not involved.

You better pray that's true.

Or I'll kill you with my bare hands!

Mother?

I want to see my son.

Hurrem...

Suleiman, please, tell me he is alive.

Mehmet is alive.

He will get better.

But we need to be strong, we've to wait patiently.

Your Majesty.

We bandaged the wound, there's no other choice but to wait now.

Let's pray that the arrow is not poisonous.

-Father. -Mihrimah...

My lion..

Mehmet dear, how could they do this to you?

Your Majesty, the traitor who tried to kill the Prince is captured.

Explain immediately!

He escaped Your Majesty.

I followed him for quite a while.

Right when I caught him, he started to resist...

Did you kill him?

I had to, Your Majesty.

I'd be surprised if he was caught alive.

How will we find out who gave the order now?

I don't remember how it happened.

I lost myself when I saw Mehmed covered in blood but...

whoever it is, they were not targeting Mehmet.

Why would they do this?

-Most likely, they wanted to kill me. -Who Mustafa? Who'd want it?

There's someone I think about, but...

Tell me, I'm gonna tear his heart out!

Abbas Agha, the carpet seller who caused a scene at the market, the other day.

You're right Your Highness. It must be him.

What are you waiting for?! Bring him here!

But this time I want him alive.

Lady Afife, what's going on?

Your Grace, I was waiting for you.

Is there a matter?

Unfortunately, Your Grace.

I wanted to report to you...

his Majesty's favorite, Firuze was having a stroll at the gardens.

She fell from a horse.

-How is she? -Battered but fine.

Physician said she would get better in a few weeks.

What's up with that horseback riding?

His Majesty gifted her a horse before he left.

She wanted it for a long time, so I sent her with Kiraz Agha today.

His Majesty gifted her a horse?

That's what Rustem Agha told me.

Find Rustem immediately.

Your Grace.

Who combed your hair? Zehra?

My beautiful daughter.

Thank you, gracious God.

We will never be apart again.

Your mother will always be by your side.

-Forewoman Nigar, you should get going. -It's getting pretty late.

I want to stay a little longer.

At least let me feed her.

Your Highness.

Is Ibrahim Pasha here?

No, Your Highness, he's left some time ago.

Understood.

Your Highness.

Pasha commanded us to not let anyone inside.

Get out of my way.

Open up.

Well done to my pretty daughter.

Did you like it much?

Your Highness...

Nigar?

What are you doing here?

Your Highness, I came to see my daughter.

How did you get in here?

Ibrahim Pasha brought me here.

His conscience couldn't bear to separate a child from the mother.

Why did you do this, Your Highness?

Why did you make her suffer for my sins?

What did you expect me to do?

You were going to be executed.

I couldn't take your child away and then execute you.

You were terrified, right?

You were afraid that this child would reunite us.

That's why you kept this a secret from me and Ibrahim Pasha.

I won't explain myself to you.

After all the things you did...

I didn't withheld my mercy neither from you or your child

Do not test my patience any more.

I am a married woman now, Your Highness. A free woman.

-What can you do to me? -Nigar, watch your words.

You're talking to a Sultana.

Gulfem...

I remember that day.

You lied to me, looking right into my eye.

You said my child was stillborn.

You'll leave this place immediately.

You don't have the right to do so, Your Highness.

You cannot prohibit me from seeing my own child.

I'll go to the judge if need be.

If there's justice, let it work for me too.

What did you say?

Your Highness, I just want to see my child.

I swear I have no other intention.

You are also a mother.

Don't do this to me.

Guards!

Your Highness!

Take her away.

Move it woman!

Let me go. I can leave myself.

You heard it, right? Ibrahim brought her here.

Let's not dramatize it for now.

His Grace just wanted her to see her child.

It's clear that he had a guilty conscience.

Don't I feel guilty?

Is that what you're implying?

Of course not, Your Highness.

They both owe their lives to you.

Gulfem this can't go on like this...

I need to find a way.

What's on your mind?

Come in.

Your Grace.

I was told that you found Firuze in the gardens.

That's right, Your Grace.

When she didn't return on time, I wanted to check up on her.

Did you choose the horse?

I did, Your Grace.

It's normally a calm horse, I don't know how it happened.

You said it was a gift from His Majesty.

You're the only one who knows that.

I get these orders as is my duty, Your Grace.

Not everyone needs to know.

Then His Majesty must have given you the order directly?

Is that so?

Are you accusing me with something?

She fell off the horse by accident.

I hope so.

Otherwise, rather than the Teke Province, I will send you to hell.

Aghas!

Yes, sir?

Where is Abbas Agha?

I don't know. I haven't seen him since yesterday.

We're worried too, he'd never have the shop closed this long.

Didn't anyone see or hear from him?

-Where is his home? -I know, sir.

-Come with us. -What about my stall?

See what they did to my son, Suleiman?

Hurrem, my lion will wake up.

He will open his eyes.

Who is this traitor that tried to kill my son?

We don't know it yet.

How? They said he was captured.

He's dead.

They killed him, of course.

They wouldn't want him to say anything.

Suleiman...

Promise me.

The one who did this to my son will pay the price.

They will, Hurrem.

I will take his life with my own hands.

Whoever he may be...

Whoever he may be...

What happened Mustafa? Did you find that merchant?

Taslicali went for him.

His Majesty sent his guards with him.

He suspects me, it seems.

No. Don't even think about it.

His Majesty only wants to find who did this.

I saw it, mother.

I saw how my father looked at me.

I wanted the ground to swallow me up at that moment.

Mehmet is my brother. He is a part of me.

How can he think that I'd want him dead?

Hurrem must have manipulated him.

God knows what she's telling him now.

I hope Mehmet will get better.

Otherwise, we will be under suspicion.

Mother...

Tell me the truth.

Do you have anything to do with this?

-Mustafa... -Mother, tell me the truth.

Did you do this?

No, son. It wasn't me.

I have never been in an action that could jeopardize your future.

And I won't.

Sultana...

Welcome.

Thank you.

I went to that mansion today.

Not because I suspect anything.

But I wanted to check if there is anything's needed.

Nigar was there.

You wanted her to be there.

Hatice, we talked about it many times.

Bring her here, Ibrahim.

Your daughter can live here, with us.

No.

No?

I've told you already.

Only I can decide on my daughter's future.

She has a home and will live in it.

Nigar.

Welcome.

What happened? Why are you crying again?

Sir Nasuh came today.

The Pasha sent him.

For what?

They tricked me.

They lied to me.

My daughter was not stillborn.

She's alive, I saw her.

So you found out.

You knew about it, didn't you? Right...

Since Sultana Hurrem knows too.

You've lived in harem for many years. Are you surprised to this?

Agha...

Help me, Agha.

My sole wish is to see my daughter.

Didn't you say you did?

The Pasha will let me see her from time to time.

But Sultana Hatice will try to prevent it.

I want my daughter to be by my side.

I want her to grow up with me.

Please help me!

This is the destiny of some children, Nigar.

Some grow up without mothers.

Pasha, Your Grace.

Kader has a fever today, but I kept it under control, I just put her to sleep.

Does she have a fever?

She caught a cold.

She's not Kader...

From now on you will be calling her Esma.

Esmanur.

She now has a father and a family.

Your Majesty.

Prince...

Abbas Agha is nowhere to be found, Your Majesty.

We couldn't find him in his shop or his home.

Did you check thoroughly?

All his family and friends are interrogated, my prince.

He disappeared the other day.

No one's seen him.

It must be him, since he escaped.

How do you know he's not dead in a ditch?

Taslicali, you have to find him wherever he is. Do you understand?

Bring him to me!

O God! Who created heaven and earth...

While there are so many sinners, what do you want from my son?

If your will is to test me, give up on this.

I got my lesson.

Come take my soul instead.

Maybe I'm one of those sinners and I'm responsible for this.

O God! Do not make me suffer the loss of my son.

Do not damn me with this pain. I can't withstand this.

My dear son...

My lion...

My light, my hope, my ruler in both worlds...

Open your eyes.

Open them lest the world darken for me.

Mehmet?

Mehmed? My prince, my son...

Thank you God almighty!

-He heard my prayers. -Mother?

They say his situation is critical.

-Sultana Hurrem is miserable. -How could this be? I don't get it.

There is nothing to understand here.

This must be Sultana Mahidevran's plot.

She must have done it.

-Sultana Mahidevran? -Who else could it be?

Take your words back.

-Who are you? -I told you to take your words back.

What if I don't?

What do you think you're doing? Are you crazy?

I'll kill you!

-Understand? -Diana!

Stop it, don't do it!

Calm down.

I hope he'll get well soon, Hurrem.

May God grant a long life to our prince.

Amen, Mahidevran, amen.

Mehmed...

Our son opened his eyes, Suleiman. He finally woke up.

My lion...

Thank God for hearing our prayers.

-How are you son? -I'm fine, father.

Brother, you scared us a lot.

I'm so happy to see you alive.

Brother who did this to me?

Who wanted to kill you?

Not your brother Mehmed, they wanted to kill you.

No mother.

My brother was in front of me. We were having a conversation.

I saw him suddenly.

The arrow hit me when I tried to cover my brother.

Brother...

I owe you my life.

You would do the same.

Mehmet, rest for a while. Don't tire yourself.

What did I tell you? I'm tired of your behavior.

Why don't you behave?

Fidan, Prince Mehmet came to his senses.

Inform the kitchen, I want desserts to be made.

Thank God, Your Highness. I'll deal with it immediately.

-What did she do again? -Don't even ask, Your Highness.

She beat up Hurrem's concubines.

They complained about her to me.

I could barely shut them up, saying she's crazy.

Diana...

They were talking about you, Your Highness.

About me?

They said some bad things.

Fortunately, there is someone who thinks about me in this palace.

Your Highness?

Leave her alone.

Oh God! Don't make me suffer the loss of my brothers.

I do not care about the throne or the power.

Each breath I take without them will be like poison to me.

Your Majesty.

The latest incident have upset us all.

Thank God your brother, Mehmed, is fine.

Forgive me.

He almost lost his life because of me.

Every cloud has a silver lining, son.

This shall be a lesson for all of us, especially for you.

Don't forget. No one is more important than your family.

When Mehmet gets better, we'll leave.

But I can't rest easy.

Because there is a fool somewhere out there who wanted to kill my son!

Do not worry. We will find him and he'll suffer for this.

You are the Prince.

You have big responsibilities, never let such incidents happen.

You see.

You made a mistake and it came around, hurt your brother.

Come in.

Sir, I'm bothering you.

No bother Zeynep.

-What happened? -You didn't come for dinner.

Eat without me. I have lots of work to do.

I can sense that you have something to say to me.

Ahmet, he went outside again.

I couldn't stop him.

He goes out all the time, this is not the first time.

Who knows what he's doing out there...

How will this come to an end?

-Nigar. -Your Grace.

Forgive me, but I had to come.

What happened?

When you left, Sultana Hatice came by.

She doesn't want me to see my child. She'll try to prevent me.

Don't worry, nobody will prevent you.

As I said, you will see her from time to time.

It can't be that way. She is so young.

My daughter needs me, and I need her.

What do you mean?

You can't be with her all the time, neither will I.

Our daughter will grow up without parents.

Can you accept this?

Conditions force us. There's nothing to do.

There is.

Give her back to me.

At least she will have a mother.

If you were lonely, I could think about it.

But you're a married woman.

Do you think that I would entrust my child to Rustem?

I'll divorce him if need be.

I only care about my daughter.

I don't want anything else.

Woman, go back home.

And do not come here anymore.

Here you go, Kiraz Agha.

Enjoy yourself.

It smells delicious.

You're worthless but I can't object to your cooking.

But Seker Agha didn't cook that, Sumbul did it.

Sumbul? No way!

He wanted some and insisted me that I cook.

So I told him to cook it yourself.

I hear you love that soup too.

He told me to give you some as charity.

When did that dirtbag ever do something for charity?

He must be up to something.

It's not like he poisoned the soup.

He would!

He wanted to get rid of me during His Majesty's absence.

You already had some. What's done is done.

We'll know now if it's poisoned or not..

Bilal Agha?

You should know... Taste this, will you?

I won't. I don't want to die.

You said it wasn't poisoned, what happened?

Aren't you the official taster? This is your duty. Taste this!

Are you a prince or a sultan? Why would I taste your soup?

Okay, cut it out Bilal. Have some so he'd shut his beak up.

Oh come on now Seker Agha!

God bless you Agha, it's so delicious!

It's warming me up, so warm--

-Bilal Agha? -Bilal Agha..

God protect him. Bilal Agha?

Oh God, save me my life!

Shame on you!

Yeah, keep on laughing. I'm going to tell Lady Afife everything!

I'll get you both fired! I swear to God!

Run, run!

What is going on dude? Who are you?

Wait for your turn, grandpa!

Come with me.

-Father? -I said come with me.

Agha, is it you?

Where were you?

Where are you coming back from at this late hour?

I... well...

-I went to see my daughter. -Your daughter or Ibrahim Pasha?

I had to talk to His Grace first.

I asked if he would give my daughter back to me.

I thought you were a smart woman.

Do you expect that a mighty Pasha would entrust you with his daughter?

Let's say he did.

Why would I accept that child?

In short, you trapped yourself.

Agha...

No matter what happens...

you're my wife now.

As everyone knows.

From now on, without my permission...

you will not step outside.

Do you understand?

Go inside now.

Nigar came in the evening.

She said she'd divorce Rustem if need be.

Rustem would gladly accept that.

He was forced to marry her anyways.

You never know that.

But this is their problem, it's not my business.

Something's bugging my mind, Your Grace.

If Sultana Hatice wants the child to live in the palace,

why didn't you accept it?

Isn't this what you wanted?

I never wanted that Nasuh.

Sultana Hurrem sent my daughter to the palace.

If she handed her to me, I'd take her to the mansion at the beginning.

As I want my child to grow up as a free woman.

Without being anyone's subject. Without bending down for others.

What about your other children?

How will they grow up?

Of course they are precious for me.

As long as I live, my heart will beat for them.

But...

they were born free, Nasuh.

As you know, they carry the dynasty's bloodline, not mine.

-Ahmet, son? -You go upstairs, woman.

-Ahmet... -I told you to go upstairs!

Sit down.

Take a seat, we'll talk.

There's nothing to talk about.

There's nothing to talk about...

I pick you up from taverns late at night.

And you tell me that there's nothing to talk about? Is that so?

Don't get involved then, don't come for me.

Son, my child, you're a teacher.

You are one of the best.

No one, not even me can say anything about your intelligence or capability..

Instead of working for God, for our religion, and for our state,

you are busy committing sins late at night.

I don't know how you can do this.

I'm content with my life. I have nothing to complain about.

That right there is the problem.

How can you not be ashamed?

If somebody saw you, God keep it, how would we explain this?

If you don't care about me, don't you care about our family's dignity, son?

I'm fulfilling my duties father.

My private life is no one's business.

Son, I have always been merciful with you,

but my patience has its limits.

Even if you curse me or beat me, this is who I am father.

I'm not like you.

Your Highness, I thought you'd never come.

Here I am, but I don't have much time.

We are leaving soon.

I couldn't even give my condolences to you for the latest incident.

I hold myself responsible.

I should've been more careful.

Don't think like that.

I'm sure you did your best, in any case, my brother is fine.

It's my sole consolation.

Your Highness..

My heart that flourished with your arrival...

I don't know how will it withstand your absence.

Your Highness, I beg you to show me the road.

The road that can lead me to see you again.

Taslicali, that road is made of fire.

Can you walk on it?

I'm already burning like an ember, Your Highness.

Nothing but your eyes can extinguish it.

It's not possible for me to come here anymore.

But you can come...

right?

-You're not in pain, right? -No.

I'm upset we couldn't hunt together.

Next time, brother.

I don't want such a disgrace again, mentor.

Your duty is not to turn a blind eye to everything the Prince does!

On the contrary, you are obliged to show him the right path.

-Forgive me, Your Majesty -You're represent my will here.

You will be my eyes here.

You will inform me about everything Prince Mustafa does.

Find Abbas Agha and punish him as soon as possible.

Also, talk to Mustafa and solve the case regarding this girl.

I will never accept this marriage!

Attention!

Where is Mihrimah?

She left before us, isn't she here yet?

I will write to you.

I will write everything from my heart and soul.

Write to me.

Of course, Your Highness.

But I will be miserable.

I do not know if I can write.

Your Highness, forgive me.

But we have to go, they're waiting for us.

Alright Zumrut Agha, I'm coming right away.

Taslicali, take care of yourself.

Your Highness...

There is something I want to give to you.

A little gift.

If you accept it...

you'll make your subject happy.

It's very beautiful.

May the consent of my only beloved be obtained,

May I sacrifice a thousand lives for their sake.

Would a lover truly be hurt by such afflictions?

Let countless hardships be a duty for them.

Whatever the beloved desires, let it be loved,

Let the sultans be enslaved to their desires.

No rose can match their beauty,

Let them wear robes of golden green.

Inform Yahya that every word he speaks,

Should bring about the end of his own wretchedness.

Your Highness.

Your Majesty, forgive me. I made you wait.

Are you alright?

I'm fine. I forgot something, went to get it back.

Your Highness, I liked it here very much.

You hosted us nicely, thank you.

It was an honor for us.

Dear brother.

Hurrem, I don't know when we will meet again.

But believe me, we will...

One day I will return to Istanbul, with Mustafa by my side.

We will bid farewell to you that day, just like today.

That time, you'll leave with tears.

Oh Mahidevran...

Do you know what is the greatest misfortune of Prince Mustafa?

That he has a mother like you.

Mihrimah!

Your grace, as you requested,

I'm continuing the negotiations with the French envoy.

He's expecting to be accepted to your presence.

Good, let's make him wait a bit more.

By the way, I hear Prince Mehmed was wounded during the hunt.

Sorry to hear that, God protected him.

It didn't happen during the hunt.

We wanted to make it known as such.

Someone wounded Mehmet while trying to kill Prince Mustafa.

Who could dare such a thing?

Attention!

Her Highness Haseki Sultana Hurrem!

Kiraz Agha.

Distribute the presents that I brought for the concubines.

As you wish, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

-I hope you're feeling well. -I'm fine, Lady Afife.

There's nothing like being here.

That is so, of course.

The Princes are waiting for you at your chambers.

They missed you.

So did I. I missed them dearly.

Is everything all right in the harem?

Fortunately, yes.

There are no problems.

You rest, I'll report to you later.

Thank you Lady Afife.

I almost lost my son.

For such a trifling reason.

I'll deal with the matter right away Your Majesty.

You rest assured.

Ibrahim, you have personal matters. Take care of them.

Your Majesty, my only matter is you and your family's happiness.

If that's all, you can leave.

There's one more thing.

Firuze fell from a horse, Your Majesty.

How is she now?

Nothing serious. Bruised her ankle, she's fine.

How did this happen?

Rustem Agha chose a horse for her, the one you gifted her.

What gift?

That's what Rustem said.

You gave an order that a horse given to her.

It's been a long time. I forgot.

Where is Sumbul Agha?

He was going to tend to Prince Mehmed.

Tell him to stop by when he's done.

Apparently, Firuze is still here.

Welcome, Your Highness.

Suleiman...

Firuze...

Finally you came back.

This separation took so long, felt like years have passed.

Are you okay?

You fell from a horse.

Nothing serious.

How did this happen?

I do not know, I found myself on the ground suddenly.

Thankfully Rustem Agha found me in time.

You're back now, all my pain slipped away.

All the soreness is now gone.

Your Highness, I really don't understand.

She fell from the horse, Rustem Agha was to find her before anyone

and he was going to break her neck.

But I was told that he came back with her in his arms.

How could this happen, didn't you talk to him?

I asked him.

But he said he would explain everything to you.

The girl has nothing serious, she got up after a week.

I wonder what happened.

Your Highness...

Rustem Agha is a bit strange lately.

Maybe we should try a different way?

I told him that you'd be mad at him,

but he told me to wait.

Sumbul, there's something wrong with this.

Send word to Rustem, I'll be waiting him tomorrow at the Imperial garden.

Your wish is my command, Your Highness.

Sultan, I should go check the Prince.

Yes.

Sumbul, keep an eye on him.

The murderers almost killed my lion.

Murderers?

I thought it happened during the hunt.

Let people know it that way.

A craftsman wanted to kill Mustafa.

He kidnapped his fiancee and took her into his harem.

It recoiled on Mehmed.

Oh my, oh my..

But ignore it, I think Mahidevran is behind this. She did it.

For whatever reason, the killer was found dead.

And the one who gave him the order is missing.

Only God knows what I've lived through those two days.

I have suffered deeply.

Your Highness, I'm really sorry hear that.

God spared our Prince's life.

Your Highness...

They're looking for Abbas everywhere.

But it's impossible to find him, he clearly left the city.

Nevermind that now.

It's been a long time,

your father will wish to be reported in a day or two.

Send that girl away, what are you waiting for?

She's blameless in this incident.

You know how your father thinks about this.

He spoke with your mentor too.

You'll solve this issue right away.

I will not let you risk your future for one woman!

Also, do not worry. We will not send her empty handed.

She and her family will live comfortably.

What would my father do in my place?

When I think about what he's done for Sultana Hurrem...

the answer is very simple, right?

Your father is not a Prince.

No one can challenge his decisions.

Besides, I know the best the times when he was a prince.

No matter what happens...

he never crossed with late Sultan Selim.

He always avoided mistakes that could break their relationship.

This is what you should do.

Give me some time, mother.

Trust me, I will make the best decision.

Mustafa.

Why did your mother invite you?

I told you to go back to the common room.

I was curious, that's why.

And I want to stay here, with you tonight.

-Helena... -It was about our marriage, right?

You do not have to hide it.

I know what people say about me.

They want you to send me back.

Come in.

As you requested, Prince Suleiman is here.

Let him in.

My prince.

Helena, go back to your room.

Why did your bring him yourself?

He's too young, I can't entrust him to anyone.

And I missed you so much.

What have I done to you?

Why don't you want me? Because of that woman?

Am I supposed to explain myself to you?

Of course not.

Fatma, don't think that I don't know what you've been up to.

I didn't say anything as you were pregnant.

From now on, behave and take care of your child.

If you make a slightest mistake, I will hurt you.

Come in.

Your Majesty, Sultana Hatice is here.

Let her in.

-Your Majesty. -Hatice dear.

-Welcome. -Thank you, how are you?

I wanted to see you and my nephews.

You did good.

-I was going to summon you. -Really?

Is there something wrong?

I was worried about you.

And I wanted to talk to you about the child, Ibrahim's child.

So you know...

These things cannot remain a secret. You know...

Hurrem told you, didn't she?

She couldn't miss such an opportunity.

Everything that happened happened because of her.

Solve your problems with Ibrahim, not with Hurrem.

Also, no one can dare to talk about Hurrem like that.

Since you have hidden the child, you'll have to bear the consequences.

Ibrahim did what's needed. He can't turn his back on his own child.

I don't want him to.

I just want Nigar to stay away.

She's married.

It was your decision, was not it?

Rustem Agha was appointed to Teke Province.

I thought Nigar would go with him.

But she didn't.

Make her leave.

Your Highness.

You disappointed me, Rustem Agha.

I told you that I don't want to see Firuze when I'm back.

You had a good opportunity, but you saved her and brought her back to the palace.

I don't want you accused, Your Highness.

Did I not tell you that I do not care?

When there's an easier way to send her away, why would we risk it?

What are you talking about?

What is this?

This is the sign of the Persian Safavid Dynasty.

Rustem Agha..

What does this have to do with Firuze?

Come in.

Your Highness.

I was told this is important.

I said that to be let in. I was wondering about you.

How pretty.

-Manisa added beauty to your charm. -It's a gift from him.

I can tell, Your Highness.

If you accept it and wear it on your neck, you've answered back to his love.

Do you want to tell me what happened?

Of course not, you may leave.

Ambassador of France, Jean de La Forêt.

Our King Francois greets the Supreme Sultan Suleiman Khan

and hopes their friendship will last forever.

In this world, the friends of the Ottoman Empire...

are always safe

And our enemies hide from our wrath.

The King of France made the right decision.

The enemies of our friends are our enemies.

Our King proposes an alliance to defeat Charles.

We agree to this alliance.

But how do we know whether King of French will let us down or not?

France is the largest country in Europe.

So it acts according to its might.

Our king's promise is solid.

If that is so,

why can't he deal with Spain by himself?

Do not forget that I saved the King of France from captivity.

Otherwise, neither France nor your Kingdom would be left standing.

We have not forgotten Ottomans' support, Supreme Sultan.

However, King Charles have taken Tunisia from you.

It's said that he even dreams of recapturing Istanbul.

How dare you?

How dare you speak like that as France state officer?

Forgive me, Supreme Sultan. I don't have any bad intentions.

If Charles was truly an emperor, he'd have faced me four years ago.

He will pay dearly for his attack.

Even if he turns into an ant in its nest, or a bird flying in the sky...

with God's will, we will cleanse the world of his filth.

Ibrahim Pasha summoned me.

His Grace is seeing an envoy with His Majesty.

Wait.

Of course, I will wait.

If I made a mistake, I hope you forgive me, Your Majesty.

I claim that if we go on a campaign on Italy together,

this will be good for both countries.

Both Charles and Venice will be punished.

Ibrahim Pasha told me about your plans.

Tell your king that...

while the French attacks Charles at Lombard next year...

we will siege the Kingdom of Naples in the meantime.

That way, Charles' allies in Italy will be caught between two enemy lines.

In the meantime, my Chief Admiral Barbarossa Hayreddin

will bombard the Italian shores...

and merge with the French navy to act together afterwards.

All of France thanks to you.

This humble act will not be forgotten even after centuries.

Where is your King now?

North of the country, fighting with Spaniards.

When he hears about the alliance,

he will muster the army and wait for you in Italy.

We will be there.

Your Majesty, there was the matter of privileges for France.

We will hide our alliance with it.

Or we'd be in a bad spot in the Christian world.

My statesmen will take care of this.

Continue the negotiations with Ibrahim Pasha.

-Chief Admiral, come with me. -As you wish.

Rustem Agha...

Do you remember the deputation order on my table?

Your appointment to another province?

I remember, Your Grace.

The time has come for you to fulfill that order

His grace approved it.

From now on you're the Governor of Teke.

You will perform your duties there. Congratulations.

-I'm honored, Your Grace. -Pack up your belongings.

You'll hit the road in a month.

As you wish, Your Grace.

Your Highness.

End of the road, Firuze.

Time to say goodbye to this room and to the harem.

Is that so?

What will you do this time?

Where will you send me?

There's a saying in your homeland, Persia, maybe you know it.

I washed the dead body. I don't care if it goes to heaven or hell.

Guards!

Throw her to the dungeon!

What are you doing? How dare you?

Let me go, what are you doing?

Let go of me!

What's going on, where are you taking her? Let go now!

By the order of Sultana Hurrem.

How can it be? She's the Sultan's favorit--

-Lady Afife! Lady Afife! Come quick! -What happened?

Firuze. She's gone, they'll kill her, she's gone!

What are you talking about? Explain it properly!

Sultana Hurrem issued an order.

The guards arrested her. They will definitely kill her...

God, give me patience!

-Your Highness. -Afife, you're finally here.

I was expecting you.

I heard that you forcefully apprehended Firuze.

Yes, I threw her into the dungeon.

Unfortunately, sometimes I have to make these decisions

to keep the order in harem.

Did she show you disrespect?

Why did you punish her like that?

I deemed it appropriate Afife. Do you have a problem with it?

Of course, I do, Your Highness.

She is the favorite of the Sultan.

I will not let anyone treat her like that.

I'll order her release immediately.

Afife, this matter is above you.

Firuze will not leave the dungeon.

Whoever objects my order, will lose their heads alongside Firuze.

In that case,

I must inform His Majesty about it.

You shouldn't idle around then.

Tell His Majesty that I want to grant an audience.

His Majesty is not here, Lady Afife.

Go to the throne room.

I have to talk to him immediately.

He's not in the palace, went to the shipyard with Barbarossa Hayreddin.

Your Majesty, I also informed Ibrahim Pasha...

I don't trust the French.

Christian world may scare them and they may let us down.

If they dare, I'll tear France down on them.

What I really worry is the sea.

And this is where you jump in Barbarossa Hayreddin.

You must give Charles's Admiral Andrea Dore a good lesson

and avenge Tunisia.

With God's will...

not even a branch will be able to sail across the Mediterranean without your order.

Good.

I'll provide you as many gold and sailors as you need.

Build three-masted galleons, like the ones infidels are using.

When it is windy, galleons are like floating fortresses.

But when there is no wind, they become completely useless.

Galleys use oars, so they're much better in the Mediterranean sea.

The sea is your expertise. If you say so, galleys it is.

Preparations are already underway, Your Majesty.

Barbarossa, it is said that children who were born at seaside

grow in the water, almost like crocodiles.

They sleep with the sounds of the boats.

I am really curious about your and your brothers' life at sea.

Record your adventures so I can read them.

Your subject does not deserve such compliments, Your Majesty.

My late big brother Oruc, my brothers Ishak and llyas...

and my adventures will be recorded and presented to your admiration.

I met with His Majesty in the morning.

I know.

We talked about the child, he found out about it.

I told him what I want, then I left.

What you said must've had a great effect on him.

Because...

His Majesty visited me after that and...

he told me to appoint Rustem as the governor of Teke.

Will they leave?

I issued the order to him.

The will leave with Nigar in a month's time.

Welcome Agha.

The dinner is ready.

I will not eat.

What's happening?

You seem upset, I can tell.

Is it because of me?

I got a promotion.

I am now a Province Lord. I became the governor.

I'd have never thought that a promotion would make me so sad.

Governor?

Ibrahim Pasha...

he did what he told me.

His Majesty has approved this decision too.

In short, there is no turning back.

I am assigned to the province of Teke.

We're leaving.

What is it woman?

Are you sad because you're going to leave Ibrahim Pasha?

I'm just worried about my daughter.

I can't lose her when I've just found her.

Teke is so far away, what will we do there?

I'll talk to His Majesty.

Then he'd appoint me to Manisa instead of Prince Mustafa.

Far away, huh?

Is your name Diana?

Diana it is, Your Highness.

If you're my entourage now...

wear some decent clothes.

Get out of my way.

Your Highness.

What's up Fidan?

Did not I tell you not to disturb me?

Your Highness, there's something you need to know.

Our concerns are becoming real.

Wait here.

Your Highness.

Get out of here.

What is the reason for your anger?

You apparently instructed Fidan for wedding preparations.

Is this true?

After all we've been through, are you going to marry that girl?

It's true, mother.

Helena will be my wife.

His Majesty Sultan Suleiman Khan!

Your Majesty, welcome.

Thank you Afife, how are you? Hope you're happy.

I pray for your health.

There is something you have to know.

What's going on Lady Afife? What's the matter?

Your Majesty...

If I encounter a matter beyond my capabilities,

you advised that I should talk with you.

Sultana Hurrem...

ordered your favorite Firuze to be locked away in the dungeons.

I could not prevent it. She is still in the dungeon.

How did this happen? What is the reason for it?

I asked her, she replied that she deemed it appropriate.

Attention!

His Majesty Sultan Suleiman Khan!

What are you trying to do Hurrem?

Why did you locked Firuze away in the dungeon?

I did not do anything wrong, Suleiman. She is guilty?

What is her guilt?

Your Majesty.

Sumbul Agha.

You asked me what is her offense.

She'll explain it to you herself.

Firuze...

tell us why you are here.

Explain the secret that you hide from everyone.

What is that secret, Firuze?

Your Majesty...

Firuze.

You do not know what that tattoo means, right?

Otherwise, you would order her execution long ago.

What secret can a tattoo hide?

The woman you deemed your favorite...

turns out is a member of the Safavid Dynasty.

This tattoo proves it.

This is one of the old coat of arms of her dynasty.

Firuze?
