In memory of Meral Okay...

She is a spy.

A traitor who sneaked in among us.

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty.

I told you that you were nothing.

You're now where you belong to.

Under my feet..

I've fallen for love, I am not grieving.

This is such a love that...

...it'll prove my innocence to His Majesty.

With all those lies...

....what innocence are you talking about?

No one can save you now.

Because tonight, not only your,...

...all my enemies' fates have changed.

Your Grace!

Ibrahim?

-Forgive me, Your Grace. -Speak.

-His Majesty summons you immediately. -What is it? Is there a problem?

I wasn't informed, Your Grace.

Your Majesty.

Firuze.

Do you know anything about her?

Of course, I do.

I know everyone about who enters this room.

Then tell me who she is.

-Your Majest, forgive me-- -Who is this woman, Ibrahim?

How did she get in my palace?

Hayreddin Barbarossa Pasha took her in his ship on his way to the capital.

She was presented to the palace with the other concubines.

She was born in Rery, she's from a Assyrian family

I know these things, too!

How do we know it's the truth?

How do we know she's from another family?

And maybe a dynast?

-How could this be? -I'm also curious about that, Ibrahim!

How could a Safavid Dynasty member...

...enter my harem and my chamber?

This is impossible, Your Majesty. I don't think there's any chance.

She didn't deny it, Ibrahim!

It's clear that this is the truth!

Investigate who she is at once!

What is her plan?

I want to know what she's done, what she's caused since she's come.

Now!

Your Grace.

Finally, you came.

Who are you woman?

I've heard that you're a member of Tahmasb's family.

Is that true?

Speak!

Obviously, you were sent here to spy on us.

Who is helping you? How do you communicate?

I'll tell everything.

I'm all ears.

Not to you, Your Grace.

I'll talk only to His Majesty.

I won't talk to anyone else.

Because only he will understand me.

Only he will listen to me.

This is impossible.

You will never see His Majesty again.

Then kill me.

I'll be buried with my secrets.

-What is going on? -I don't understand.

It's about Firuze Hatun.

All the aghas are in her room.

Sultana Hurrem put her in the dungeons.

Shut up! You're yapping again!

Sumbul Agha, she really a spy?

Well, she is.

She exposed everything that's going on in the harem to our enemies.

Oh my goodness!

Oh my... Oh my...

Since you protect her all this time, you must be cooperating with her.

No, of course not, it's not like that.

Your Highness...

Oh my...

You'll lose your head...

Wa ash-hadu anna...

Welcome, Your Highness, it's an important matter.

What is this, Hurrem?

A new game?

I would get worried too if I were you.

If we...

...consider how you supported this woman...

...the situation is not pleasant, of course.

What does this mean?

You put that viper into His Majesty's bosom, yourself.

So, Your Highness...

...you risked...

...the dynasty's future to defeat me.

If you have a finger...

...in this again Hurrem,...

...you should know that you'll pay a heavy price this time.

Your Highness,...

...what if I don't have anything to do with it?

Who'll pay the price then?

Your Majesty.

As you requested, I questioned Firuze Hatun.

But she won't talk.

She says she'll only talk to you.

-Where is she? -She was in the dungeons,...

...but I brought her here, she's waiting at the door.

Obviously, she has an explanation.

You wait outside too, Ibrahim

-You searched her properly, right? -We did, Your Grace.

Your Majesty...

I've been told that you'll tell me everything.

Then start with your name.

My name...

...is real just as my feelings are.

I am...

...Firuze Begumhan.

I'm a Sultana of the Safavid dynasty.

Shah Tahmasb's father...

...and my father are brothers.

It's impossible for me to be a spy, in this situation.

Because no ruler would think...

...a woman from his dynasty deserves this.

Then why did you come here?

I told you before,...

...my fate brought me here.

Shah Tahmasb was not in good terms with my father Seyyid Ibrahim.

He saw him as a threat for his throne.

One night...

One night, my father woke us up suddenly.

My mother,...

...my sisters,...

...many people from our family... We all ran away.

Tahmasb was after us.

We were on the road for days.

Then...

...we got on a boat.

They caught us after a short while.

They sinked the boat.

Everyone died.

But I was on Barbossa's boat when I woke up.

Ibrahim!

Your Highness, you shouldn't have come here in the middle of the night.

I don't think Firuze could fool us for years.

Right?

This must be Hurrem's scheme.

Unfortunately, this is no scheme.

What's been said about Firuze is definitely true.

This is impossible

She's been in the harem for years.

She spent many times alone with His Majesty.

If she was a spy, wouldn't she be exposed until now?

It depends on why she's here.

Maybe she didn't have the courage to do it, or...

...her duty is only to carry information.

What have I done, Ibrahim?

-I, myself-- -You couldn't have known about it.

Maybe she gave up on everything as she fell in love with His Majesty.

But, no matter what,

...she'll be beheaded.

I'll do it myself.

I had no other choice.

If it was exposed who I was,...

...I would be turned in the dynasty.

Or I would be used against them.

That's why I hid my identity saying I was a Christian.

Then,...

...I had to keep quiet for my love.

Or I was going to lose you.

I know the rules.

It's forbidden...

...for a muslim to get in the harem as a concubine.

She has to get married.

How could I tell you this while I was both a muslim and a member...

...of an enemy dynasty?

You lied to me, Firuze.

You lied to my face...

...countless times.

Now, you expect me to believe what you've told me.

May the God Almighty...

be my witness, this is the truth, Suleyman.

If my heart was not full of your love,...

...I would come to you,

...I would talk to you and ask for help.

But...

...I was afraid.

I was afraid of losing you.

You asked me who I was.

I am...

...a miserable woman...

...who's struck by a world emperor's love.

Until this day,...

...I always accepted my fate.

I never tried to stop it.

It tossed me around like a wind.

And finally, it brought me to you.

I kneed before you.

I've become happy in your paradise.

I will...

I will never...

...object to my fate which gave me...

...your merciful hands.

Whatever you say,...

...whatever you command,...

I will accept it.

If you like,...

...take my life right here.

I am ready to accept anything.

Aghas.

His Majesty commanded that she be put in the dungeons.

Shame on you.

I trusted you.

I believed you.

Now, I see Hurrem was right.

You sneaked in among us like a viper.

-Your Highness-- -Shut up!

Take her away, she'll get what she deserves.

Come in.

Your Highness.

Come, Fatma.

My Suleyman...

My strong grandson...

How is his health?

Thak God, he is fine.

He is also appetent. The phsycians are glad about this.

But he becomes a bit restless at nights.

My Mustafa was the same.

He is still stubborn, though.

He has to do it when he put his mind to something.

What happened, Mother Sultana?

That Helena or whatever...

She tempted him.

Mustafa instructed Fidan Hatun for a wedding.

How could this be?

You know how conscientious he is.

He probably pities her and doesn't want to send her away.

But this wedding won't be any good.

Will you allow this?

The Prince wants that. What can we do, Fatma?

He doesn't listen to me anyway.

There's nothing I can do now.

Your Highness.

You know about His Majesty's thoughts about the wedding.

When the situation is this,...

...I advice you to think over your decision.

I will write a letter and explain the situation to His Majesty.

Forgive me, but there's no explanation for this, Your Highness.

If I could foresee this matter would come to this,...

...I would prevent you from the beginning.

Send the woman away.

I can't kick Helena on the streets, Mentor.

-Forget that. -She can be give a mansion.

Her every need will be provided.

And you can visit her in appropriate times.

Don't think about this matter.

I'll do what's needed.

You tell me about Abbas Agha.

Why couldn't you find him yet?

Let me go! Let me go!

Look at her.

She's smiling, happy.

She will marry a prince.

Of course, she will be happy.

-Why didn't you tell me before? -What good would it do?

The Prince made his decision.

What am I going to do now, Fidan?

If I were you, I would get rid of her at once.

Yes, but I have a son now.

I have to think about him. I can not do that.

I can't put both my son and myself in danger.

You're right.

But if she gets married with him now, she'll have a child with him, too.

What will you do then?

She already had The Prince in her pocket.

I won't be surprised if she gets rid of you one day.

Your Highness.

Come, Fidan.

What happened? Did Fatma come to you?

As you said, she came to me straight away.

You should have seen her, she was in panic.

She'll do whatever we tell her to do.

Good.

Don't forget Fidan Hatun.

No matter what happens, Fatma must be the only one to blame.

Mustafa shouldn't suspect of me for a second.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Everything will be as you command.

So, you're blinded enough to attempt killing me.

Is that so?

No one can insult me.

Not a prince,...

...even if you were the sultan of the world, it doesn't matter.

Who even cares about your filthy existance?

Did you think you could run away my sword?

-My brother almost died because of you. -You won't live forever, right?

You will all crap out someday.

Firuze is locked up in the dungeons again.

I don't understand what they're still waiting for.

Ibrahim Pasha is investigating her, Your Highness.

She won't be executed before he has got information about her.

Anyway.

About your appointment, Sultana Hatice talked to His Majesty herself.

She used Nigar as an excuse.

As you see, you have to go,...

...there's nothing we can do.

As you see appropriate.

Rustem Agha.

This expatriation won't last forever, I promise you.

You'll return here more powerful.

How much time do you have?

Pasha gave me a month.

Good.

We should get rid of Firuze first.

Ibrahim Pasha will have his turn, too.

Your Majesty.

Good morning.

Good morning to you, too. Come.

Could you learn anything?

I personally talked to people who know Tahmasb and his family, Your Majesty.

The woman is telling the truth, Her name is Firuze, Firuz Begumhan.

Her father is Sheik Seyyid Ibrahim, Tahmasb's uncle.

He was in important positions in their state's administration.

He's known the be close to Tahmasb's brother Sammirza.

He wanted to set him up the throne.

Naturally, the swords were drawn...

....and Shiek Seyid Ibrahim had to run away with his family.

However,...

But they were murdered by sinking of their ship.

They think that Firuze is dead, too

-So, she's not a spy. -No.

It is obvious that she kept silent since she is afraid to be handed over.

Because...

...she will be killed.

What would you like me to do, Your Majesty?

Get up woman, we're leaving.

Are you going to kill me?

Mother.

I came to see Cihangir but you weren't there.

I took a walk the garden. Did something happen?

I've heard about Firuze.

I just can't understand.

It turns out she had big secrets.

Don't take that demon's name again,...

...Mihrimah.

Take her away.

Your Highness.

What's going on, Afife Hatun?

What is that woman doing here? Why did you get her out?

His Majesty's command.

He commanded Firuze hatun to be brought back...

...to favorites ward.

Come in.

Your Majest, Sultana Hurrem is here.

Let her in.

Suleyman.

Yes, Hurrem. But be quick.

Because I am really busy.

What does this meman?

How could Firuze be back at the favorites ward?

I deemed it appropriate.

It has been determined that she's not a spy.

How?

Is she going to move on with her life like nothing happened?

I haven't made a decision about her yet.

Suleyman,...

She is a muslim woman.

It is not appropriate for her to stay in the harem.

What are you going to do?

Will you marry her,...

...so she can stay in the harem?

You'll learn with everyone when I make my decision.

This decision won't change only her life,...

...Suleyman,...

...but also ours.

Please, Suleyman, don't forget that.

Fatma Hatun.

Are you ready?

-This will end tonight. -What I get to be blamed?

What will I do then? The Prince will kill me!

And what would Sultana Mahidevran think?

I organized everything.

Gulizar will help you.

We will solve that like a hot knife through butter.

Helena will come here.

To kill Prince Suleyman.

You'll only be saving your son's life

And I'll be your witness.

Besides, don't worry,...

...this thing will please Sultana Mahidevran, too.

Because she doesn't want this marriage either.

So...

Suit yourself.

I'm trying to help you.

Let's go, Gulizar.

Okay.

I'll do it.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Sultana Mahidevran sent me here.

She summons you.

At this hour?

-Why does she summon me? -How am I supposed to know, woman?

She wants you immediately.

Her Highness expects you here.

This is not Her Highness' chamber.

Why are we here?

Her Highness wants to meet you here.

Get in, woman.

You..

-Help me! -Shut up!

You can't get out here! No one can hear you!

Don't struggle in vain!

-Calm down, woman! -Let go!

Let go!

Let go!

Diana! Don't!

Stop!

Stop, don't!

You stay with the Prince, woman.

Let me go! Let go!

-Let go! -Are you insane?

Let her go, she's a prince's mother!

What's going on here?

Your Highness, she tried to kill Prince Mustafa's favorite...

...and I caught her.

Is that so?

Fatma?

No, Your Highness.

Helena sneaked into my room, she was going to kill my son if I didn't wake up.

This one came while I was defending my child.

My lion is alone now.

-Fidan? -I've sent the forewomen, Your Highness.

They're taking care of him.

-So, Helena attacked her, is that so? -She's lying, Your Highness.

I saw it! They sey a snare for Helena!

Alright, Diana. Let her go. I'll take care of her.

As you may wish.

You may take your leave.

However,...

...no one should know about this, do you understand?

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, I swear I am innocent.

-Helena got in my room herself. -Shut up!

I know you very well.

Go to your chamber and be busy with your son!

If you say a word to anyone,...

...I'll hurt you.

Your Highness, forgive me.

I couldn't understand where Diana came from.

She ruined everything.

I told you, that woman is crazy.

-We should send her away. -She's done her duty.

I wish you were competent like her.

Your Highness.

Sumbul, tell me, what happened?

Has His Makesty made his decision?

Your Highness,...

Sultana, Firuze Hatun has just left her room.

As what Afife Hatun told me,...

...His Majesty summoned her.

I'm thinking that the decision has been made about her.

Finally.

Your Highness...

It's clear that she is no spy.

So, the only condition for her to stay in the palace...

...is a marriage.

What if His Majesty marries her? What are we going to do?

Your Highness...

Nazli, you leave.

Cihangir will stay with me.

Your Majesty.

Come, Firuze, come close.

I've been informed about everything that I need to know...

...about you.

Then...

...you must have realized everything I said was true

That's why I have no doubt about my decision.

Suleyman...

No matter wehat your decision is,...

...until my last breath,...

...my heart...

...will only beat for you.

I'll stay if you tell me to stay.

If you want me to leave,...

...I will leave.

If you want me to die,...

...I will die.

Your Highness.

Nazli!

I was just with His Majesty.

He has made a decision about Firuze Hatun.

And you should know about it.

Tell me.

It's been decided that she will be sent away from the harem.

Will she be turned over to the Persian Palace?

No, Your Highness.

I never turne someone over who took refuge by me...

...to my enemies.

That's why...

...you'll be moved to a hunting lodge in Amasya.

And you will be supported for all your needs for all your life.

Amasya?

Where is that place?

Is it far?

Will you come?

Will I be able to see you?

This is our last meeting.

I'll never see you again.

What a tragic end...

Why are you here?

To bid me a farewell?

In some way.

Don't worry, you will have time to be packed.

You lost, Firuze.

It's just stating the obvious.

If you listened to me before,...

...you wouldn't be leaving with your head down now.

Love...

If it's true love,...

....there will no winners in it,...

...there will be no victory.

Because love...

...belongs to the losers.

It continues to burn in flames in their hearts.

All losers console themselves like this anuway.

I'm really curious,...

...what would you say if His Majest wanted you to stay?

I'm sure you would taunt me

with your cry of victory, wouldn't you?

I'm its very self of what you call true love.

And His Majesty's decision is the proof of it.

If you remember, we made a deal.

If I lose,...

...I'm ready to drink this poison.

What about you, Firuze?

Can you drink it?

You should have no doubt.

Don't be afraid, I won't ask you to do this.

You neither have the courage...

...nor the love to do it anyway.

Come in.

Your Grace, Taslicali Yahya Effendi is here.

Taslicali? Let him in.

Your Excellency.

What is it, Taslicali? What are you doing here?

-When did you arrive? -I arrived this morning, Your Grace.

Bless him, The Prince allowed me to come here.

As you know, I went to Manisa precipitately.

I have some unfinisheed businesses, I'll return right fter I get them done.

Okay then.

What is this?

Sultana Mahivdevran asked me to give you this.

She said it's very important.

What is it?

How is the Prince? I hope everything is alright.

He's in good health, thank God.

But...

...he's really upset because of a woman.

I assume Her Highness wrote to you about that matter.

I've heard some things.

Your Grace Ibrahim Pasha,

First of all, I wish you, Sultana Hatice and...

...your children a happy life.

We've recieved the magnific presents you've sent for my grandson Suleyman.

We're really thankful for supporting us with your presence.

You must have heard about what happened when His Majesty was here.

Hurrem has treacherous plans.

She is specially doing all her best...

...for Prince Mehmet come between Mustafa and His Majesty.

She wants my son to fall out of grace.

Unfortunately, Mustafa will give this chance to Hurrem on a silver platter.

Because he is determined...

...to marry that woman despite His Majesty.

Surely, we can prevent this,...

...but the main thing worries me is Hurrem.

We have to act together against her, Ibrahim.

Welcome, mother.

Be prepared, Mustafa.

You'll go to Bursa in a week.

What does this mean?

I sent a letter to Ibrahim Pasha with Taslicali.

He'll wait for you there.

-Why was this needed? -I wanted it so, son.

If you're not listening to me, talk to him.

Mother--

Ibrahim Pasha has great efforts on you, son.

Before making a decision that will affect all your life,...

...would it hurt to meet and talk to him?

In the end, the decision is yours.

Besides there are more important things the Pasha will tell you.

Just in case, Rustem Agha.

We need to be cautious.

I don't want Firuze to get in my way again.

There is an easy way, Your Highness.

She is from the Safavid dynasty.

I will send a message to some people.

There will surely be someone who wants to take her to Persia.

Rustem Agha, you read my mind.

They won't let her live in this case.

She will be executed for sure.

Rustem, the price of betrayal is heavy.

Firuze Hatun must pay her share.

Your Grace.

Why are you still here?

I especially waited, when Zehra Hatun said you'd be visiting today.

-Nigar... -You named her Esmanur...

It really suits her.

I kept calling her name all day.

Come on, you should leave now. Be home before it gets dark.

Your Grace...

Please stop this appointment.

I don't want to go with Rustem Agha.

Don't seperate me from my daughter, please.

That matter is over, woman.

You have to go.

This is what you wanted, isn't it?

You want me to be away.

Because Sultana Hatice ordered so.

And you bow down to her.

Watch your words.

There's a limit of my patience and mercy.

Finally you could come home, woman.

Don't do this, Agha. I am already upset.

They will send me away before I could spend enough time with her.

If you go behind Her Highness' back,...

...this is what will happen.

Stop talking like you don't know what I've been through.

I didn't want this to happen.

They turned me into a living dead,...

...and I was innocent.

Agha,...

...can you talk to Sultana Hurrem?

She likes you, she'll listen to you. She will of course find a way.

As you wish, Your Highness.

Do you think I have time for your bastard?

If that is so,...

...why do keep me with you?

Divorce me, so both you and I can be freed of this!

You tell me to marry you, I marry you,...

...you want me to divorce you and I'll divorce you...

-...is that so? -This is what's best for both of us.

You don't want me either.

You don't even look at my face. Divorce me, Agha.

Whenever I want,...

...I will divorce you.

Understood?

Attention! His Majesty Sultan Suleiman Khan!

Suleyman...

I came to see Cihangir. Is he asleep?

Nazli!

-Your Highness. -Bring in Cihangir.

Father.

My little lion...

How are you? Do you feel pain?

Good.

Don't go, father, stay here.

You'll come to me tomorrow morning, we'll have breakfast together.

Good night.

Come.

Were you following me?

There was no need, they told on you.

Hurrem...

Let's get out of here.

Humeyra Hatun.

Shah Tahmasb and Firuze Begumhan are very curious about you.

Sultana Hurrem has got what she wanted again.

I think you should stay away from her, Your Highness.

If we move out of her way now, no one can stop her!

Forgive me but we can't stop her now.

-She sent away Firuze, too. -We'll send her away, too.

How?

I don't know.

But there must be a way.

We'll wait for that day patiently.

Good luck with that, Sheker Agha.

Where does this smell of halva come from? It's all around the whole palace.

Kiraz Agha is dead, we're eating for halva for his funeral.

Don't say that Sumbul Agha, it's a sin.

Why are you here, Bilal Agha?

-Isn't His Majesty's meal ready yet? -I'll let you know when it's ready.

You tell me about Kiraz, did he tell on us?

Of course, he did.

Afife Hatun stormed at me.

That demon...

Your Majesty, Cardinal Alessandro Farnese...

...has been elected as the Pope with the name III. Paul.

Now, France won't be supported by the Vatican...

...while they were during Pope Clemence's era.

What did you learn about this new Pope?

Farnese became a cardinal at a very young age, Your Majesty.

Which is clear he became a cardinal...

...thanks to his sister Giulia Farnese the beautiful's affair...

...with Pope Alessandro Borgia.

He wasn't expected to become the Pope, Your Majesty.

He's very old.

I am sure they're thinking he'll be dead soon...

...and they can hold the new elections.

However,...

...he showed how he is loyal to Christianity's fundementals...

...by taking his name after Saint Paul.

What does he think about us?

Your Majesty, he's taken an action to make peace between V. Charles and I. Francois.

His goal is to create a barrier against the Ottoman forces.

Will he embark on a Crusade?

They will at least try, Your Highness.

They have sent ther cardinals to the kings and princes already.

However,...

...the Vatican's treasury is empty.

They say only 12.000 ducat are left in the Vatican's treasury.

Even our governers have more gold in their treasuries.

Then what is he counting on? Didn't they learn a lesson from the past?

As our ancestors banished them from our lands,...

...so will we, surely.

They won't dare, my lion.

As long as we have brave princes like you, and valuable pashas and governors,...

...no one can bring down this great state.

VATICAN

Dear Cardinal Denolvi,...

the Europe faces a big threat.

While the Ottomans are at our door...

...the church's two great sons fight each other.

We must make peace between V. Charles and I. Francois.

You're right, your holiness, but this seems impossible.

As we've heard some news that King Francois has made an alliance with Sultan Suleyman.

How could they form an alliance with the Islam's Sultan?

Doesn't he know...

...he'll be excommunicated and all the christians will spit on his face?

He will deny the agreement.

France...

...is the eldest daughter of the church.

I advice them to protect the dignity stemming from their history.

If this doesn't work, expose the alliance to the public.

Say that those who take up arms against Christianty...

...with Islam won't be accepted even in hell...

...and that their souls will wander around...

...in agony.

I'll send the priests to preach in France right away.

However, Your Holiness, the King of France...

...went to Sultan Suleyman because he's afraid of V. Charles.

That's why it will be difficult to convince him.

We have to do this, Cardinal.

If we can't do this,...

we'll have to leave Rome...

...without even taking Saint Peter's bones.

-May God save us all. -Amen.

How is that priest Luther doing with his action against the Vatican?

We're following closely, Your Majesty.

He dealt a major blow to the Vatican.

For example, the Vatican's former political influence.

no longer exists in Germany and Switzerland Princedoms.

Pope lost his grip on those lands, Your Majesty.

Their properties are held by the princes now.

England has also strayed away from the Vatican.

Good.

The more Christianity remains fractured, Ottoman Empire will grow the more.

-Mustafa Pasha. -Yes, Your Majesty.

Send a message to the border governors.

They should keep supporting Luther's followers secretly.

Additonaly,...

...we'll accept Lutheriands who are under the Vatican and V. Charles' pressure...

...and let them conduct their religion freely.

As you command, Your Majesty.

There's another matter.

-Celalzade. -Yes, Your Majesty.

I allocate my two milloon coins worth private imperial income lands...

to Sultana Hurrem's foundation.

Draft the document of title.

And do what's necessary in the records.

As you command.

Your Highness.

Kadi Effendi.

Thank you for not refusing me and coming here.

Of course, Your Highness, I will only be honored.

I have heard that you're a wise scholar.

That must be so His Majesty...

...trusts you with the Sublime Ottoman State's laws.

You are being humble, Your Highness, I am so far away being a wise man.

I would be glad if I could help you.

You may have heard that I'm founding my own foundation.

For charity.

Your Highness,...

...our prophet who was sent as a blessing to the worlds...

...uttered, ''The giving hand is better than a taking hand.''

You'll show what a great heart you have...

...with chartiy and alms.

Kadi Effendi, what kind of foundation would be better for the people?

So I can have their blessings.

What about building a social complex...

...just like the late Queen Mother built in Manisa?

With a mosque, an alms house,...

a madrasa, a school, and a hospital in it.

It will be good...

...both for the poor and the students.

A social complex such as this, which you can built...

...when your son becomes a governor,...

...will keep your name alive in that province for centuries, Your Highness.

Right.

Time will come for that too surely, but firstly I want a build one in Istanbul.

Your Highness,...

...Istanbul... No other Haseki Sultana...

...built such a charity in Istanbul before.

However,...

...they do this generally when they go to a province with their princes.

There's a first for everything, Ebusuud Effendi, right?

Your Highness, if...

...people want to do good,...

...nothing can stand on their way, it'll wither away.

Good.

Many Pashas' and Beys' wives will be on the board of the foundation.

I would like to see your wife Zeynep Hatun there, too.

I'll tell her, Your Highness.

However,...

...such socal complex will require a lot of money.

And that won't be enough only.

It needs to have a revenue to keep running.

Don't worry about this, Kadi Effendi.

His Majesty has blessed me with a lot of property.

Their revenues are also high.

I'll do anything necessary to keep my foundation running.

May God accept your good deed, Your Highness.

Amen, amen, Ebusuud Effendi.

I was thinking of

Stablemaster Rustem Agha as the manager of the foundation,...

...but he's appointed as the Teke Governor.

Thankfully you are here.

I will be glad if you could care and guide us.

Of course, Your Highness.

Come in.

-Your Highness. -Come, Zumrut Agha.

Yahya Effendi sent you this.

You may leave.

Your Highness,...

...I'm under the tree where I found the meaning of my life.

It's dark everywhere.

I can't see beyond the end of one's nose.

Show me the unique face of yours,...

so my poor eyes can find the light.

Zumrut Agha!

Zumrut Agha!

Yes, Your Highness.

Taslicali is here, he's come.

I know, Your Highness, he awaits you in the garden.

Why didn't you tell me before?

You wait outside, I'll be coming right away.

Girls!

I didn't expect you to come this sooner.

I wasn't even sure I'd see you again.

That's why I'm here, Your Highness.

So you can be sure.

I have only one life,...

...and I'm ready to give up on it to see you once more.

My brother Mustafa?

He knows I'm here.

He allowed me to visit my family.

It's too dangerous.

We need to be more patient and cautious.

Ever since I saw you,...

...I lost my patience and my mind.

I can't sleep like the desperate lovers in tales.

I don't know if it's day or night because I keep thinking of you.

What about you?

Have I, your subject, ever crossed your mind?

I never stopped thinking of you.

In my dreams, day dreams... It's always you.

But is this because of the longing...

...or the fear for what may happen to you, I don't know.

I'm so afraid someone will see or hear something.

My heart is destined to revolve around you from now on.

I can give up on everything to see you just for a moment.

Isn't this what love is?

Your Highness.

Come with me.

What is it, Your Highness? Is there a problem?

The boy they call the Yahya of Taslica, Prince Mustafa's comrade...

-Yes, Your Highness. -He came from Manisa.

I wonder what is he doing here.

Tell Rustem Agha...

...to keep an eye on him. What he's doing, where he's going...

...I want to know everything.

Your Highness, are you suspecting of something?

It may be Mahidevran's scheme.

Why did this man come to the capital all of a sudden?

Sumbul Agha, we have to think about every possibility.

I'll send a message to Rustem Agha right away.

Alright, hurry up.

We shouldn't leave him alone for a moment.

As you command.

I always dreamed of seeing this on your beautiful neck.

You couldn't make me this happy even if you gave me the world.

I can't wear it much because my mother may ask about it.

She seems to be suspicous already.

-Did something happen? -No.

It's just a feeling.

I wish everyone knew.

I wish I could shout,...

...so everyone can hear about it.

I wish they can see how miserable I am for your love.

I wish the whole world can know...

...that how I am burning right in the heart of the sun--

Your Highness, someone is approaching.

You haven't left the shipyard for so long.

Finally, you've come out tonight so we can have a chat.

Well, I hear you've been wandering around at night though.

They tell me about you.

When I'm not on sea, everywhere seems the same to me, Pasha.

I am getting bored.

I can't stay somewhere.

Soon, Chief Admiral,...

Rome is on the horizon, the sea awaits us.

I'm looking forward to that day Nasuh Effendi.

Your Grace.

Do you know about Prince Mustafa, I hope he is alright.

I am hearing about him.

Thank you, woman.

Come, sit down.

I have some things to tell you.

I hope it's not bad news. Is it about Ahmet?

Stop getting me angry by calling his name!

What was I gonna say? Oh!

Today, I had a meeting with Sultana Hurrem.

Sultana Hurrem?

She summoned me.

She wanted to meet me.

Also, there was a matter that she would like to hear my opinion.

Everyone's saying some things about her for years.

Ugly, witch, sorcerer...

They even say she's got an eye on the back of her head.

Oh, God forgive me...

If the people would stop gossiping this much,...

...they can do many things.

Sorcerer... God give me patience!

Well, that's what they're saying, to be honest, I am curious about her.

You'll ask her when you see her with your own eyes, woman.

Her Highness...

...would like to build a foundation for the poor.

And she wanted me to be a part of it.

Also,...

...she would like to meet you.

Me?

She would like you the be on the foundation's board.

She has an offer. What do you think?

I will be honored, of course

Nice, nice.

Anyway, leave me alone now, I need to work.

What about Ahmet?

Come on, woman, come on.

Everyone speaks highly of the Prince.

I had a chance to talk with him while he was in the capital.

He would like to disocer the seas.

Beyond the great ocean.

The Prince has a wide vision.

Time will come for that too.

Someday we'll go there.

Finally, I've met Prince Mehmed, too.

He's very smart, ambitious...

He is.

Where the hell is she?

Grab her by the arm and bring her here!

Let go!

Let go!

Do you know who I am?

The Kadi is my father! Let go!

I'll destroy you all!

I said let go!

Do you know who I am?

-Who is that fool? -Don't ask, sir, he's a big trouble.

He causes a scene every night.

What does he have to do with the Kadi Effendi?

I don't know if it's true, but he says he's the Kadi Effendi's son.

Ebusuud Effendi's?

Don't listen to him, sir. Such a man can't have him as a son.

Your Grace, good morning.

Good morning to you, too.

Could you spend time with your family, Taslicali?

I could, Your Grace.

I have got my businesses done too.

It's time for you to make a family, too, huh?

Isn't there a beautiful woman who charmed you?

No, Your Grace.

Give this to Sultana Mahidevran.

Taslicali...

You're the closest one to Prince Mustafa.

I sent you there to be his comrade.

You have to protect him...

...against every evil and betrayal at cost of your life.

Understand?

You shouldn't worry, Your Grace.

I took all the measures after what happened lately.

That should never have happened.

Anyway, take that as a lesson. Don't make the same mistake again.

Come on.

Farewell, godspeed.

Your Majesty.

Pargali.

When will spring come?

It was constantly rainy and dirty this winter.

We've seen many winters.

This winter will end too.

I haven't heard of Mustafa, yet.

Obviously, he will marry that woman despite me.

What does he want to do?

-Who would dare test me? -Never.

The Prince doesn't want that.

He will definitely do what is necessary.

How can you be so sure?

Because I raised him.

Whatever mistake he makes,...

...you should never doubt his loyalty for you.

Just like mine.

Why did you come early?

I would like to go to Edirne, if you'd allow me, Your Majesty.

What is the reason?

I have to start preparations for the Italy campaign.

Why so you hurry?

Your Majesty, if we don't get prepared well,...

...we won't be able to end this campaign.

If they see me there, our adminitrators will work harder.

But if you need me here, I can postpone it.

You may go there.

If you're going, take Hatice and your children too.

Stay there for a while.

Spend time with your family.

I think about them.

I'm waiting for the weather the clear up, the road is terrible during winter.

Durmush Agha.

Yes, Yahya Bey?

Deliver this letter...

-...to Sultana Mahidevran right away. -Aren't you coming?

I need to stay here for a couple of days more.

Tell Her Highness that my brother is sick...

...and I'll stay in the capital for a couple of days more.

Yes, I will. I am sorry to hear that, Sir.

Thank you.

Durmuş agha, the letter is important.

No one should see and know about it.

-Understood? -Understood, Sir.

Come on.

Godspeed.

Good morning, Pasha.

Your Highness.

Firuze is gone.

There are other things which are gone with her. For example,...

...the hopes of my enemies.

Hope?

Hope is only for the pathetic who needs it.

But my place and path is obvious.

I'm walking by His Majesty's side...

...towards the target he's showing,...

...Your Highness.

Your path leads to hell, Ibrahim.

You know, walking on that path is easy.

How have you been? Do you feel any pain?

I feel much better, Your Majesty.

The Chief Physician told me that I can wield a sword next week.

Nice.

My brother Mustafa and I were talking that day, the day I got wounded.

I talked to him about the laws.

''You're my brother, my heart, how can I ever hurt you?

I won't be a man if I ever harm you,'' he said.

The sound of power mutes every other sound around, son.

It especially mutes the consience.

What's important is what he'll say when that day comes.

Come in.

Your Majesty, a messenger came from Saruhan, Prince Mustafa's messenger.

There's a gift for you and a letter.

Your Majesty,...

...I've caught the man who wounded my brother,...

...and made us go through a dark time,...

...and I personally beheaded him.

Rest assured.

Your brother Mustafa has a present for you.

Your Highness.

Rustem Agha.

As you ordered, I followed Taslicali Yahya.

He recieved a letter from Ibrahim Pasha, a letter for Sultana Mahidevran.

Is that so?

As it seems, Taslicali came here for that reason.

It's an answer to her letter.

Rustem Agha...

Very well done.

Esmanur! This is enough, it's getting cold, let's go inside.

Esmanur!

Zehra Hatun, let her stay a bit longer.

You bring her a coat, so she doesn't get cold.

Nigar Hatun?

Esmanur?

Nigar Hatun!

God, where are they?

Guards!

Esmanur...

My beautiful daughter.

Don't be afraid, your mother is with you.

We'll never be apart anymore.

-Your Highness. -Pasha.

Are you alright?

I hope you're happy.

I'm fine, Pasha.

I am actually wondering about you.

How are things with Sultana Hatice?

The past is in the past. We have no problems, thank God.

Good. I'm glad to hear it.

I want to get good news from you too but...

...I hear such things, Mustafa,...

...that I'm losing sleep over.

Inform His Majesty that I am here.

There's no such thing as private life, Mustafa.

You're a prince.

There are...

...rules you have to abide.

There are laws.

Which book says a prince can't get married, Pasha?

There is no such rule.

Of course there is not, but remember...

Queen Mother wanted to marry you off.

With whom? Aybige Hatun. That means...

...the daughter of the Crimean Khan.

So, it's about Helena.

And her family, isn't it?

It's about His Majesty.

His objection to this wedding.

Welcome, Hurrem.

I'm not welcome at all, Suleyman.

What is it? Tell me.

Do you know where Ibrahim Pasha is?

What kind of question is that?

He's in Edirne, isn't he?

He told you he was going there.

But right now, he's not there.

Actually he never went the Edirne because he's in Bursa.

He met with Prince Mehmet in secret.

As it seems,...

...they're looking for ways to dethrone you.

Here's the proof.
