Oh my God, protect us!

Your Highness...

Your Highness, how could you do this?

God protect us!

Your Highness?

God protect us!

My Sultana, the guards are here.

They're searching for Ibrahim Pasha's gold.

We don't need to describe Rustem. It's his nature.

It seems he told His Majesty about everything.

It's obvious he won't let this go.

However, he is forgetting something.

Even if he's dead, his opponent is Ibrahim Pasha.

He was a cautious man.

Who knows where he's buried it.

I don't think they'll find it.

I'm worried about Hatice

I couldn't stop her when she heard about the search.

She went to see His Majesty.

Sultana Hatice is not doing well.

On top of it, she keeps making mistakes.

You need to be more cautious with your relationship with her.

Otherwise, you may be harmed too.

What are you saying, Pasha?

She's my sister.

Of course I'll stand with her.

Your Highness.

What happens now?

Did you see Sultana Hurrem? She suddenly fell.

She has bags under her eyes.

The rumors were right. Sultana Hurrem is ill.

Girls! You are gossiping again!

How dare you talk about Sultana Hurrem?!

Thank God, Her Highness is fine. She just caught cold.

If you talk about her again, I will punish you!

Get back to your work.

Come in.

Your Majesty, you've summoned me?

Lady Afife, I talked to Mihrimah, she's deeply worried for her mother.

Hurrem was cured.

Did her illness start acting up again?

Your Majesty, she was fine.

But Her Highness couldn't fully get rid of the illness.

She fainted in the harem today. But she is fine now.

She is resting.

Her body got weak because of the disease.

She doesn't even eat.

Lady Afife.

Hurrem is my precious. Keep an eye on her.

-Do what it takes for her to recover. -As you order, Your Majesty.

There is another matter.

Watch out for Hatice.

Her sorrow is still fresh. I don't want any incidents in the harem.

Don't you worry, Your Majesty.

You may leave.

Hurry up.

Don't waste time. Finish it already

Fahriye Kalfa!

What's the situation in the harem? Does everyone talk about me?

Don't worry, Your Highness.

How would they dare to talk against you?

I put them in their places. It is calm now.

Fahriye Kalfa, thank you.

I wish everyone was loyal to me like you.

-Where is Sultana Hatice? -She isn't back yet.

How so?

She visited His Majesty.

I really don't know. She hasn't come back.

How is music classes going?

I am interested in violin like Sultana Hatice.

But it is pretty difficult.

My beautiful Sultana can manage anything.

You'll be good at it, I'm sure.

But don't neglect your religious duties.

Don't worry. How can I neglect it when mother is here?

I am going to the council meeting.

Mother, if you'd allow, I'll go with my father.

As I wish to visit Sultana Mihrimah.

Come back early.

Your Highness.

I just talked to guard captain...

...the search is over, they're leaving the palace.

Mercan Agha, what happened? Did they find anything?

No, Your Grace. They didn't find anything.

I told you, my Sultana.

Late Ibrahim Pasha was cautious.

God knows where he buried that gold.

Keep being careful, Pasha.

If you learn anything, I'd like to know.

Your Highness.

Your Grace.

Come Nigar.

Perhaps you know?

Because the search was Rustem's idea

I don't know, Your Highness.

He is very careful towards me now after the latest incident.

Keep your eyes open anyway.

He won't keep me, Your Highness.

He will divorce sooner or later.

He's keeping me out of fear from Sultana Hatice.

It is important you stay with him as his wife.

Otherwise it will be hard to control him.

What can I do, Your Highness?

With just one word he can kick me out.

Don't worry, Nigar.

Rustem can't divorce you.

As he wouldn't dare to stand against me.

Sahin Agha, did you memorize what I said?

There should be no mistakes, Her Highness especially warned me.

I would die for Sultana Hurrem, Agha.

May God help us all.

I have been sweating bullets since morning.

If this gets revealed, Sultana Hurrem would be beheaded, God forbid.

Your Grace.

What's going on, Sumbul Agha? What's the rush?

Just the daily rush.

I was just chatting with the door man.

Your Grace.

I can't see our mother nowadays.

She doesn't accept me to her chamber.

She just recovered.

But she is cautious.

She doesn't want us near her, before she fully recovers.

I don't know.

I feel like there's something else.

Don't worry.

If it was something bad, His Majesty would know.

Don't you think so?

Yeah but...

Esmahan is here.

My Prince, Your Highness.

-Welcome Esmahan. -Thank you, my Prince.

I ran into Lord Bali on my way here.

Your Highness.

My Prince.

Your Majesty.

Speak.

As you have ordered...

...the palace you had assigned to Ibrahim Pasha has been searched.

And?

Unfortunately we couldn't find the gold.

If you allow us, we will keep searching the other properties of Ibrahim Pasha.

I wonder, why didn't you follow the law while executing him?

Is it justice to kill him when he was asleep?

Is the justice to call him for iftar dinner and then kill him?

Continue, Pasha.

Find it wherever they are.

As you order, Your Majesty.

My Prince, you said we'd ride the horses today.

That's why I came.

If that's so, let's go.

Mihrimah join us if you like. You can see around a bit.

You go, my Prince. I will go back to the palace.

Your Highness.

How is Sultana Hurrem?

I hope she is alright.

She is fine. Thanks for asking.

The mansion is well designed. It is like an European palace.

Amazing sculptures, paintings, chandeliers.

Signora Gabriella welcomed us well.

I'm following her, my Prince.

They say she is stubborn and ambitious.

The Judge is sick of her.

It's not easy, Taslicali. She manages a big wealth on her own.

Trading is difficult, especially for a woman.

Come in.

My Prince, Chief Admiral Hizir Hayreddin Pasha is here.

Let him in.

My Prince.

Hizir Pasha.

Have a seat.

I came last night my Prince.

But you had left the palace.

I was informed. I visited Signora Gabriella.

Taslicali told me that you know her family.

I heard about his late husband Signore Sfenza.

As he is a highborn Genoese.

An unfortunate incident happened.

One of my captains sank his ship.

She told me he died in an accident.

It is a sad incident, my Prince.

Maybe she didn't want to talk about it.

Is Signora's mansion close to here, Your Highness?

It is not that close.

Does she live alone, Your Highness?

Her son is in Chios Island.

But many people serve her.

Fidan, make preparations.

I'll invite her for dinner some time. She hosted us well.

We need to do the same.

When will you set sail?

I'll be here for a few more days, my Prince.

And then I'll return to Izmir and set sail.

Then we can go to Friday prayer together.

Afterwards I will visit the sailors who returned with you.

Come with me.

It would be an honour, my Prince.

Good.

What's your route? Will you return to the capital?

I will be at Mediterranean Sea for some time.

These coasts are different.

I feel I can breathe and feel as free as a bird here.

Living in the capital or the palace is not for me.

Everyone knows your nature.

But your presence in the capital is important.

You should to support His Majesty.

Late Ibrahim Pasha's sudden death has become an opportunity for everyone.

They circle like vultures

Ayaz Pasha has already dismissed many people and assigned new ones.

My Prince, actually Grand Vizier doesn't have bad intentions.

It is not about Ayaz Pasha.

They will try to control his weak will.

You are right, my Prince.

But I'd like to warn you by crossing the line.

Nobody should know what you think and feel.

Because there will always be people who'll try to undermine you.

Always!

Don't give them the opportunity, my Prince.

I know, Pasha.

I feel better, Afife.

Why did you come?

I talked with His Majesty, Your Highness.

He is concerned about your health.

He ordered us to do everything for you to gain your strength.

Your Highness?

Are you okay?

I'm not, Lady Afife. I am in pain.

Call the physician!

No need!

No need...

Lady Afife...

This is not an illness.

They put a spell on me.

With black magic

Saliha, isn't Her Highness back yet?

-No, Sultana Gulfem. -Oh God. Where is she...

She might be visiting Sultana Shah. If you wish, I can check.

No need. She should back soon.

Mind your business.

These are superstitions, Your Highness.

Don't believe in such things.

Your Highness?

Lady Afife, I have nightmares.

I can't sleep. I don't even know if it's night or day.

I am confused about what's real and not.

Your body is weak because of the illness, Your Highness.

When you don't get enough sleep, your mind play games with you.

If you rest, I am sure you will recover.

Lady Afife, but I can't sleep!

If you wish, I can consult my son, Yahya.

He will show us a way.

Good idea, Lady Afife. Tell him immediately.

With your permission, Your Highness.

Lady Afife!

I didn't say anything to His Majesty.

He doesn't know about the spell. Don't tell him anything.

If it gets revealed, Sultana Hatice would be accused.

I don't want her to get hurt.

Good thinking, Your Highness.

Your Highness, Lady Gulfem is here.

Let her in.

Nothing bad I hope.

-Gulfem? -Your Highness.

Are you alone? Where is Hatice?

What do you mean where? Isn't Sultana Hatice here?

No, she left a long time ago.

She was going to see His Majesty

I know but I went to her chamber, she wasn't there.

I asked but nobody saw her.

Your Highness, I can go to the palace and learn what's going on.

Get my carriage ready. I'm going too.

As you command.

God protect Her Highness. Where might she have gone?

Calm down Gulfem.

-She must be somewhere in the palace. -I hope so.

Make way, Her Highness Sultana Shah!

Take the children to their chambers.

Your Highness, where is my mother? Why isn't she with you?

Your mother will come, Huricihan.

Go to your chamber now.

When was the last time you saw Her Highness?

I haven't seen her since morning, Your Highness.

She left to visit you. Then she met with His Majesty.

Gulfem, go to the privy chamber, find out if anyone saw her.

Mercan Agha.

Tell the girls. I want them to search the whole harem.

Search everywhere.

Sultana Hatice will be found wherever she is.

Summon Lady Afife.

As you order, Your Highness.

Welcome mother, you've brought me happiness.

Thank you.

How are you son? Are you fine?

Praying for your health, mother.

I hope it's good news. You wouldn't come at night.

I don't have much time. I should go back.

Sultana Hurrem is not well.

Sorry to hear that. Did her illness act up again?

She recovered, thank God.

But Her Highness is not well at all.

Your Highness...

Did they come?

Yes, Your Highness.

Sultana Shah is here. She is so angry.

She gave the order. Sultana Hatice is being searched everywhere.

Gulfem?

I went to see His Majesty but he was busy.

So I asked to the guards, Sultana Hatice was there for a while.

They never saw her after that. Her servant is missing too.

We would know if His Majesty sent her somewhere, right?

Yes, but...

Mercan Agha.

We searched everywhere. But we couldn't find Sultana Hatice.

Where is Lady Afife? Why isn't she still here?

Lady Afife is out of the palace, Your Highness.

How so?

Where did she go?

Sultana Hurrem thinks a spell was cast on her.

A spell?

She thinks that it is black magic.

She stopped eating.

She is very weak.

She doesn't even sleep.

How does she know it is a spell?

I tried to calm her down. But it is impossible to convince her.

She believes it.

Son.

She doesn't listen to us, but she will listen to you.

I will do my best, mother.

But His Majesty doesn't know.

Her Highness doesn't want him to know.

It is better if he doesn't know.

Give this to Her Highness, mother.

-It will help her to sleep. -Inshallah.

Boil and filter it well. She should drink it hot.

May God bless you, son.

Where is Hatice, Hurrem?

Your Highness?

I said where is Hatice?

Your Highness, forgive me, how can I know?

Why are you asking me? She must be in her chamber.

Hurrem!

What did you do to her?

I don't know what you are talking about.

What happened to Her Highness?

You tell me Hurrem.

You'll tell me what happened to my sister.

Make way! His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan!

What is this? Is something wrong?

Your Majesty, Hatice is...

She is missing.

We can't find her anywhere.

Your Majesty.

Malkocoglu, Hatice is nowhere to be found.

Nobody knows where she is. I want you to find her, immediately.

As you command, Your Majesty.

I can assure you, Your Highness, it has nothing to do with me.

How could it?

Pray that you're right, Hurrem.

I hope Her Highness didn't end her life.

As you know, she tried it many times.

If something bad happened to her...

...I will blame you for it, Hurrem.

Do you understand?

If you harmed my sister...

...I will rip your heart with my own hands.

I swear.

Your Highness.

Sumbul Agha...

Your Highness.

Sumbul Agha keep calm. You will expose us.

Your Highness, but how can I?

She is a dynasty member.

One little mistake would get all beheaded.

Do you know what they did to Hatice?

I just heard about it, Your Highness.

Sultana Hurrem is very ill.

I don't think she has anything to do with it.

Do hear what you are saying?!

How can you defend Hurrem?

Forgive me, Your Highness...

They killed my sister and threw her somewhere.

Then they'll say that she killed herself.

Find out what happened!

Now!

Where are Her Highness' servants?

Her Highness' servants are in her chamber.

Her closest servant is missing.

She must be with her.

You said she left when the search started, didn't you?

Yes and she never came back.

Apparently she left after talking with His Majesty.

How do you know she left? Did you see them leaving?

I didn't, but what else can it be? She must have gone out.

Bali Bey, you summoned me?

Come, Sahin Agha.

There is a matter about Sultana Hatice.

It is said that she came to the palace in the afternoon.

Yes, she did.

We are told that she left the palace after seeing His Majesty.

You are a guard at the gate.

You must have seen a Sultana leaving the palace.

Of course. Her Highness' carriage left the palace in the afternoon.

Are you sure Sahin Agha?

Yes, my Lord. I saw it with my own eyes.

Where is Lady Afife? Why isn't she back yet?

I don't know either.

Tell her to find me as soon as she returns.

Additionally, question everyone who were on duty.

-Someone must have heard something. -Inshallah.

You may take your leave.

What do you think Nasuh?

Something is going on. We must find Her Highness immediately.

Your Highness, I talked to my son.

I can assure you that he will do his best.

Good.

He sent you this.

You'll drink it after it is boiled.

You'll sleep well then.

You raised a very good son, Lady Afife.

May God bless Lord Yahya.

I will have your medicine prepared, with your permission.

Lady Afife, have you learned anything about Sultana Hatice?

Did something bad happen?

It seems you don't know what happened.

Sultana Shah is searching for Sultana Hatice everywhere.

She is missing.

Lady Afife, where have you been?!

Forgive me, Your Highness

I visited my son, Yahya.

Harem is shaking, but you are nowhere to be found!

Hatice is missing.

Nobody knows where she is

I just heard about it, Your Highness.

But you had asked about Hatice first, I hear.

Because I found Sultana Hatice's earring.

What earring?

I came to give it to her. But she was not here.

I thought she was visiting you.

You promised to protect Ibrahim with your own will as the Sultan of the world.

But you didn't keep your promise.

This makes you cruel but fair!

Get out Hatice and never come back!

Where are you Hatice?

Your Highness.

Rest a bit. You are exhausting yourself.

I can't sleep until I see my sister, Gulfem.

Who knows where she is now.

My God...

Spare her, please.

We can't lose hope.

His Majesty is searching everywhere. They'll find her.

Lady Afife?

Unfortunately, there are no news yet, Your Highness.

Did you talk to the guard?

Yes, but he said the same thing.

He saw only her carriage.

Maybe Sultana Hatice was not in it?

Don't talk like you don't know the rules.

The main gate guard won't let anyone out before checking first.

How do we know the main gate guard is telling the truth?

Forgive me, but Sahin Agha is a loyal Agha who's been serving the dynasty for years.

He hasn't made a single mistake to date.

There is a first time for everything, Lady Afife.

Your Highness.

I am tired of waiting and worrying.

Is there still no news about Her Highness?

I don't know.

I should ask you that.

Your Highness.

Talk, Malkocoglu. Have you found my sister?

We found our Sultana's carriage abandoned near Kagithane creek.

There was nobody in it.

Did you search around?

We are still searching the area. We will be informed soon.

Find her, Malkocoglu.

Find her, no matter what and bring her to me.

As you command, Your Majesty.

Your Highness, what are you accusing me with?

What does it have to do with me?

What do you think?

Don't even say she might have killed herself.

That's your intention.

You want everyone to believe that.

Enough!

You are not talking to a concubine.

How dare you talk like that to my mother?

Go to your chamber, Mihrimah.

You can't tell me what to do.

Mihrimah!

I remember like it was yesterday, what you did to my mother.

Pray that my mother told me to keep silent.

Otherwise you couldn't explain it to His Majesty.

Mihrimah, calm down and go to your chambers, now!

No, mother. I am not going anywhere.

This is too much.

No one can accuse you with such ugly accusations.

Your Highness?

Hatice?!

Hatice!

Hatice.

My beautiful sister.

Thank God, you are back.

Your Majesty...

I am here.

I am here with you my sister.

How did it happen?

Who did it?

Where is... that viper?

Who? Tell me, who?

Hurrem!

Where is she?

What do you mean, Hatice?

What does it have to do with Hurrem?

She is the one who did this to me.

No, my mother would never do something like this.

Your Highness, I just talked with Duzgun Agha.

She pursued Sultana Hatice to the palace, like a shadow.

Did Hatice realize he was there?

No, Your Highness, no.

She walked in the forest all night long.

Duzgun Agha protected her from anything that could hurt her.

Good.

Give this to Duzgun Agha.

Your Highness.

Sultana Hatice must be telling everything to His Majesty, right about now.

Sumbul Agha, just do what I say.

As you order, Your Highness.

Do you hear what you are saying, Hatice?

Hurrem is the mother of five of my children.

Your Majesty...

May God be my witness, I am telling the truth.

I talked to you...

...then we came across on the golden path.

It looked like she went insane.

She insulted me.

She attacked me.

She beat me.

She beat me again and again.

I passed out.

When I woke up, I found myself in a forest.

They thought I was dead and threw me there.

Thank God, I was able to make it here.

Wasn't your servant with you?

Where is Hatice's servant? She must have witnessed everything.

Your Majesty, she's nowhere to be found, she's missing.

They must have killed her.

Hatice.

These are serious accusations.

Are you sure it was Hurrem?

I am telling you she attacked me!

She hit me, looking me in the eye.

Don't you see my face?!

She wanted to kill me.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, don't believe her. My mother didn't do it. It is a slander.

Your Majesty!

I will kill that snake with my own hands.

Alright, Your Highness.

Hatice, you need to rest.

Look at me.

How can I be calm?

God damn her! May her hands be broken!

She'll get worse, Gulfem.

Hurrem has signed her own death warrant.

One would be executed...

...even for slapping a dynasty member, no matter who they are.

Who will give the execution order?

His Majesty?

It is different this time, Hatice.

Because not even Sultan Suleyman can forgive who spills dynasty's blood.

But Your Highness...

...I don't understand why someone smart like Sultana Hurrem...

...would make such a mistake?

I don't get it either

I guess she went insane because of the magic.

Forgive me, Your Highness.

She could have killed her and threw her into the sea.

Why did she keep her alive?

Whose side are you on?

Why are you questioning?

There might be something else behind it.

Let's say she lost control for a while and that's how she did it. And then what?

They left you in the forest.

They knew you would somehow come back.

Maybe they left her, thinking she was dead.

Hatice.

You told everything, didn't you?

You didn't skip anything?

What?

Don't you believe me?

We do.

Hurrem!

Suleyman?

How is Sultana Hatice?

Is she awake? Where was she?

Someone beat her to death.

Someone insulted, beat and threw my sister to the forest.

Who would dare?

You know the punishment for that, don't you?

Of course.

Whoever did it must be executed immediately!

You, Hurrem.

She said, it was you.

Suleyman, don't tell me you believe that.

No, Suleyman.

How can you even consider that?

How can you believe someone who tried to kill me recently?

Didn't you send her to Manisa because of it?

Hatice looks miserable.

It's obvious someone tortured her.

Suleyman you know that I have been ill for days.

I passed out in the harem yesterday.

I'm not even strong enough to walk, let alone beat someone.

You might get angry at me but...

...she might have done all of these on her own.

What do you mean?

Her Sultana lost her sanity.

As you know, she can't accept the death of late Ibrahim Pasha.

She still blames me for that.

Thank God, Her Highness came back to the palace safe and sound.

Otherwise many people would be hurt.

Have you found out what happened?

No.

His Majesty is in the harem. We should learn soon.

Come in.

My Lord, Sultana Hatice's maid has been found.

Where is she?

-She's waiting by the door. -Let her in.

Tell me what happened.

Speak.

Did she tell you anything else?

No, Your Majesty.

She is in a bad condition.

She can hardly talk.

It hurts me.

How can a dynasty member be treated like that?

What do you think, Shah Huban?

Do you think Hatice told the truth?

I don't know what to believe anymore, Your Majesty.

But you saw her.

I don't think she would lie about this.

Come in.

Your Majesty, Your Highness.

-There is something you should know. -Speak.

Janissaries found Sultana Hatice's servant.

-She's waiting at the door. -Bring her in.

Come here woman.

Speak.

Your Majesty, I escorted Sultana Hatice when she visited you.

What happened afterwards, speak!

As soon as she got out, we left the palace.

I thought we were going to Shah Sultana's palace.

But she had the carriage stopped at a secluded place.

Then she gave me lots of gold and said she freed me.

She freed you?

She told me to go to my hometown. So I went to the dock.

I was about to get on a ship, when Janissaries got me.

Forgive me, Your Majesty. I am an aide.

I did what I was told.

Malkocoglu?

It is true she was caught at the dock, Your Majesty.

We got the gold.

In a pouch, with Sultana Hatice's name on it.

Drink some water.

What happened?

What is his Majesty's decision?

Will Hurrem be executed?

Hatice.

Was your servant with you when you came back?

Yes.

But they must have killed the poor girl already.

She is well and sound.

She just told His Majesty everything that has happened.

You gave her gold and get her off the carriage while returning.

And told her to go to her hometown.

What...

Nigar was right

Hurrem did it perfectly.

The door guard said that he saw you while leaving.

Then your carriage was found abandoned in the forest.

And now your servant got caught trying to escape.

I knew this would happen.

Sultana Hurrem fell on her feet again.

Did...

Did His Majesty believe it?

He is concerned about your mental health, Hatice.

As you tried to kill her before.

Hatice, lie down!

-I will punish her! -No, you won't!

Your Highness, please calm down.

I barely convinced His Majesty for you to stay with me and get treatment.

Treatment?

He thinks I am crazy, doesn't he?

Not just him.

You all think the same.

-You don't believe me. -Of course, we do.

But I'm telling you, Hurrem bought everyone.

And you know what happened in the past.

His Majesty can't think any other way.

What would be different...

...if she...

...attacked me in front of him?

I would still be the guilty one.

God, we're going through such days.

If our late mother...

...saw all of this...

...she would be devastated.

Hatice.

My sister.

Come in.

My Prince, Signora Gabriella Stenza de Feo is here.

Let her in.

-My Prince. -Signora?

What's the reason of your sudden visit?

Forgive me for bothering you, my Prince.

But there is something you should know.

My ship was burned with my goods.

I lost a lot of money.

-Do you know who burned it? -No, my Prince.

I was told it was an accident. But I don't believe it.

The ship was still being unloaded.

What will I do? Everything is over.

Calm down. Have a seat.

Come in.

Excuse me, my Prince. I thought you were alone.

Wait, Taslicali.

Signora Gabriella's ship burned down or it was an arson.

Investigate it immediately.

As you order, my Prince.

Your Highness.

You got a letter.

It is from Lady Fahriye.

Who is Lady Fahriye, Your Highness?

Diana.

Dear Sultana Mahidevran.

I have been waiting to finish my mission for a long time.

But Sultana Shah doesn't want it.

I don't know how much longer I have to wait.

Your Highness, if you'd let me, I'd like to return to Manisa...

...and continue my life by serving you.

You told me your husband, Signore Sfenza died in an accident.

Is that right?

But I heard that his ship was sunk.

Yes, my Prince.

It was a pirate attack.

I...

It has been many years.

May he rest in peace.

Unfortunately, such incidents can occur if you trade at open sea.

You're right.

During that attack, I didn't lose only my husband...

...but my sister as well.

She was so young.

Her name was Lucrezia.

My husband was taking her from Genoa to Chios.

Excuse me. I bore you with my own problems.

It is not important. I didn't mean to make you sad by reminding you.

-Signora. -Your Highness.

Mother.

What is wrong? Did something bad happen?

Signora Gabriella's ship was burned down. She came to inform me.

Oh no. I am sorry to hear that Signora.

Thank you, Your Highness.

My Prince, with your permission, I'll take my leave.

God bless you.

My Prince, Your Highness.

My lion, it is not appropriate for her to come to the palace frequently.

Especially without my knowledge

-I thought you liked her? -Of course I do.

I just don't want unrest in your harem.

It would not be good if concubines started gossiping.

Mother, you brought her to the harem.

I'm just trying to help her, don't look for another reason.

Hatice?

Why are you up? You need to rest, please.

What happened yesterday?

Did the soldiers find the gold?

Why ask that now?

Answer me.

Did they find it?

They didn't find anything. Anyway, we don't know if there is even any gold.

Come with me.

Hatice, what's going on?

Hatice!

Hatice, will you tell me what's going on?

Move them aside.

Hatice, these are...

Ibrahim's hidden gold.

Jewels..

All he had...

...it is all here.

Suleyman, the Sultan of my heart.

You can't imagine how happy I am that you believe and trust me.

Hatice isn't well.

Shah Huban will do her best to treat her but...

...I hope it is of any help.

Amen.

I want her to be recover as well, because it makes everyone sad, especially you.

Hatice hates me.

She looks at me with anger, as if we are enemies.

Suleyman, she is your sister. She can never hate you and be hostile towards you.

Time can heal everything.

One day she will...

She will forget about it all one day.

And me Hurrem?

How will I forget?

How did you know they were here?

I knew it since the beginning.

Ibrahim never hid anything from me.

These are all mine.

They are mine and my children's.

Hatice, this gold needs to be confiscated for the imperial treasury.

-They can't be here. It's too dangerous. -No!

I won't give them.

I am keeping them to avenge Ibrahim.

Do you understand?

Everyone around Hurrem...

...I'll buy them all one by one.

Promise me.

You will not tell anyone.

Your Highness, it is a great honour to see you here.

I won't stay long, Signora.

As the Prince wishes. This way please.

The fire incident has been investigated. As you had guessed, it wasn't an accident.

But Genoese were behind it.

Who might it be?

You tell us Signora.

Do you have any enemies there?

No one, as far as I know. Are you sure they're Genoese?

I investigated myself, evidence point to them.

In this case, my loss can't be compensated, correct?

Unfortunately.

But the investigation is still on, if they get caught, they'll pay for it.

Are you leaving so soon my Prince?

Bestow me the honour of hosting you again.

Your Highness, the Prince isn't back yet.

Really? Where did he go?

We aren't informed, Your Highness. He left with Lord Taslicali Yahya.

Let me know when he returns.

I am very curious about the harem, my Prince.

Many things are told. It sounds like a magical world.

I haven't seen all the women. But the ones I saw are all beautiful.

Don't believe everything you hear.

To be honest it is very tempting.

There are many women around you...

...and all of them are trying to get your attention.

How can Lady Ayse stand it?

I couldn't do that.

It is hard to share love.

There were many women around your husband too.

It is even said that you stabbed him because of that.

You learned many things about me, my Prince.

But there are still many things you don't know.

I am sure there are.

This is an amazing portrait.

Yes, I like it too.

-A Venetian artist painted it. -I know, Tiziano Vecellio.

My brother has one of his paintings as well.

It is a portrait of the famous, beautiful Giulia Gonzaga.

I saw her. She is not that beautiful.

About the dagger, it is true that I am jealous.

Because if I fall in love with someone, I want him to be only mine.

Hurrem?

Suleyman!

Are you okay?

It was a nightmare Suleyman, a nightmare.

The Head Judge.

Are you happy with your new position?

I hope you have no complaints.

I am pleased with my status, Your Grace.

The flowers in my garden are even happier.

Because I have more time for them now.

Don't withhold your experience from the Judge of Istanbul.

It is hard to fill your shoes.

You don't have to worry, Your Grace. Don't worry.

Grand Vizier.

How long will you be here, Rustem Pasha?

When will you go back to Diyarbakir?

I will be here for a while, Pasha.

As there are some matters we are looking over with His Majesty.

Are those matters about late Ibrahim Pasha's gold?

Make way! His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Your Highness.

Welcome, Lord Bali.

Thank you.

How can I help you?

I know what my concubine told about me.

Do you believe her?

The truth will come into light sooner or later, Your Highness.

Rest assured.

My late husband always spoke highly of you.

He relied on you.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

I will be honest with you, Lord Bali.

You are the closest subject of His Majesty because of your duty.

Even that is enough for Hurrem to be hostile towards you.

You need to be careful against her.

Protect both yourself and His Majesty from her lies and slanders.

I can assure you...

...I will always protect the dynasty's interests, Your Highness.

Your Majesty, late Ibrahim Pasha's properties has been confiscated.

But there are some problems with the space.

Some objects might have to be sold, if you'd allow.

Sell everything except objects worthy of keeping, Head Judge.

As you command, Your Majesty.

Any updates about the lost gold and the jewels, Rustem Pasha?

The search is continuing, Your Majesty.

We definitely need that gold after the last campaign.

-It will ease our burden. -Find it wherever it is.

Lutfi Pasha.

What's Captain Pasha's status?

Your Majesty, with your permission.

We got the good news that Hizir Hayreddin Pasha conquered most of the islands.

Good.

We should have all the islands in Mediterranean Sea.

He should continue his conquests.

Ayaz Pasha, provide the necessary help to Captain Pasha.

As you order, Your Majesty.

But it is hard to keep the little islands.

They will be united under one province when all of them are conquered.

With a governor leading it or...

...Duke of Naxos, Giovanni will be assigned if he obeys us.

Duke of Naxos will serve Ottoman Empire as a tax collector.

I bow down with respect to your amazing intellect, Your Majesty.

This means that Mediterranean Sea will get warm in the spring.

We will rid the sea of islands from the infidels...

...who resisted us in Corfu Island, God willing.

If there is nothing else, you may leave.

Your Majesty, there is one more matter I'd like to submit with your permission.

Speak.

Some valuable Ottoman governors have been dismissed one by one.

It can cause serious unrest.

Ayaz Pasha?

Your Majesty, they have been disobeying orders since Ibrahim Pasha's death.

Some of them even tried to break apart.

Therefore I decided to dismiss them.

Why have I not been informed?

I was going to give you a report on them today, one by one.

Lord Bali?

Your Highness.

-Are you leaving? -Yes, Your Highness.

I came to visit Esmahan. Why are you here?

I came to visit Lutfi Pasha. But he isn't here.

I'm sure that's why came.

Your Highness...

Have I done you wrong, unknowingly?

No, why would you call it a wrong?

I'm trying to be understanding as you have wished.

Now you may be busy with your "important duties".

Forgive me, Your Highness.

But I don't know what you are talking about.

I mean the letter you wrote to me, Lord Bali. Did you forget?

There must have been a misunderstanding, Your Highness.

As I did not write any letters to you.

How so? The letter is still in my chambers.

I'd like to see it personally. As it doesn't belong to me.

How is that possible?

I sent a letter to you.

Then I got a reply.

I mean, someone left it in my chamber.

Trust me, Your Highness, I didn't get or reply any letters.

Apparently someone played an nasty game.

The incenses in Sultana Hurrem's chamber should be changed, Fahriye Kalfa.

-Get new ones from my room. -I will, when I have time.

I don't know about that.

If you are late, you can explain it to Sultana Hatice.

Fahriye Kalfa?

What did that demon want from you?

Who is she to want something from me, Agha?

I cornered and questioned her.

Is something wrong?

Her behavior is not appropriate.

She walks around Sultana Hurrem's chamber.

Really?

Don't worry, Agha. I warned her.

She won't do it again.

Be careful. As you know, she serves Sultana Hatice.

Lord Yahya, I am grateful to you.

The medicine you gave is very effective.

I slept very well that night.

You should drink it every night before sleeping, Your Highness.

I do, but it didn't work last night.

A black...

...cloud comes over me.

It moves around me, like it has hands.

It strangles me.

When we are troubled, we can see such nightmares, Your Highness.

I wish it was only a nightmare

I see it during daytime too.

I see shadows on walls and between curtains.

If there is someone who can cure me...

...it's you.

Lord Yahya, find a way to rid me of this spell.

Spells are the work of the devil, Your Highness.

It is forbidden in our religion.

The ones who cast it and have it cast both go to hell.

God orders in Quran:

In the name of Allah, the compassionate, the merciful.

When they did, Moses said,

What you have produced is mere magic, Allah will surely make it useless,

for Allah certainly does not set right the work of the corruptors.

Magicians are impenitent.

I recommend you pray to God and ask for his help.

Lord Yahya, what can I do?

Read Quran in your chambers, Your Highness.

Because your soul will be refreshed and your family will be blessed.

My mother can help you to find a good Hafiz.

Of course.

Also when you see those shadows, pray.

Read Al-Fatiha, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Nas and Throne verses and ask God's help.

May God protect you from any kind of evil.

-Amen. -Amen.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Is your drunk son here?

Yes, he is resting in his room.

Ahmed! Ahmed!

What's going on? What did he do again?

Did he make a mistake?

Yes, father?

I met with the Grand Vizier today.

I told him I want to send you to Bursa with a duty.

Make your preparations. You are leaving soon.

Where did that come from?

I am happy with my job and also to be here.

You are happy to be here and with your job, but ask me.

Am I happy?

What will he do there all alone?

I have a close friend there called Hasan.

He will live with him.

I couldn't tame you, I hope he will.

I am not going anywhere, father!

I didn't ask your opinion.

If say you are going, you will.

Your Highness.

This is the letter I received.

Who do you think wrote it?

Whoever received the letter you wrote, Your Highness.

I asked the Agha. He put it on your desk.

What is it?

What are you doing here?

What happened?

Nothing, Your Highness.

I will keep this letter

I will definitely find whoever wrote it.

Yes, I wouldn't want people to gossip about us when there is nothing between us.

Especially for your own safety.

Good morning mother.

Good morning my lion.

I hope you'll always be happy like this.

I visited you last night, you weren't there.

I asked afterwards, I was told you came late.

Yes.

I barely made it to morning because of curiosity.

Where were you, Mustafa?

I took a walk with Taslicali.

Signora.

-Yes, Antuan? -Signore Benetto is here.

Signora Gabriella.

You are dazzling as always.

Welcome, I wasn't expecting you today

I wanted to congratulate you.

As you have finally started to get closer to Prince Mustafa.

He was even here last night.

You burnt my ship, didn't you?

Be sure that you will earn much more.

You help us and we will help you.

There is only one thing I want from you; my sister, Lucrezia.

Tell me where she is.

Trust me Signora, you are getting closer to her now.

Lady Afife, I want you to have Quran reading in the morning.

Make the preparations.

As you order, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

What's the rush Sumbul Agha?

Your Highness, I've found out who cast the spell on you.

You are not being cautious.

I had no other option.

Sumbul Agha saw us while I was talking with her.

Did he hear what you were talking?

I don't think so. We stopped before he came closer.

I never trusted that woman anyway.

Did you kill her because you didn't trust her?

Sumbul Agha suspected her too. I saw him leaving Saliha's room.

Obviously he was checking the room.

I had to kill her

I couldn't have let her rat me out.

Sultanas won't be pleased with what you did.

Be more careful. More careful.

Don't do anything without my order again.

I searched her room, Your Highness.

There were ropes, soaps, needles. I was afraid to touch them.

Did you tell this to anyone else?

No, Your Highness, I didn't tell anyone. I waited for you.

Only Fahriye Kalfa knows. She suspected her too.

I saw her questioning her.

She told me she was walking around your chamber.

So I searched her room just in case.

Fahriye Kalfa, huh?

There is definitely a traitor among us, Sumbul Agha.

It might be her.

Your Highness?

You...

You stay away!

Your Highness...

Stay away from me!

Your Highness, stop.

Your Highness...

Don't come closer!

Traitor! Viper!

I said don't come closer!

Stop... Stop...
