In memory of Meral Okay
Episode 70
So you are her
Get out
Leave us alone!
Nigar Hatun, didn't I tell you not to walk around?
Get out of my sight
Who are you looking for?
Firuze Hatun?
I brought you here. Do you remember that day? Your hands were tied. You were in pain
I'm grateful to you for that
But nobody could know it would be like this. This is a trick of destiny - Destiny?
Is this how you explain your betrayal?
You are a sneaky snake!
You kept silent eventhough I was nice to you. You lied to my face
You hid the truth. It crossed my mind. I felt it. But it was just a suspicion. It was a feeling
That's why I sent you to Mehmet, to get rid of the suspicion! - I didn't it want to be like this
I wish I told you at the begining
At least I wouldn't be embarrassed now
Only honourable people feel ashamed, not b*tches like you
Trust me, there was no other way
I had to keep silent
And you have to talk now
What are you going to do? Ask for forgiveness? Beg for mercy?
I didn't come here to ask for forgiveness. I don't expect mercy either
You can do anything you want to me. I can not stop you
The only thing I harbour to is his Majesty's love
Love? Who cares your love?!
You are just a coward. You've been hiding for years. Just a sneaky coward!
I will kill you. Did you hear me? I will kill you with my hands!
Mom?
Firuze, what happened? Are you sick?
My Şehzade, I'm fine
[ My Sultana, open the door ]
Take this piece of meat. Hide her anywhere you want
Not just you, not even the whole world can stop me
When Iwill be done with her, she'll beg me to die
I sent our Şehzade and Sultana off, your Majesty. All the necessary precautions have been taken to arrive to Manisa safely
Good. May God speed them - Amen
If you don't have any other orders... - You may take your leave
What is wrong?
You look pretty troubled. Tell me if there is a problem
Is it about Hatice?
Have you lost your mind?!
How dare can you face a Sultana?
If you informed us, I'd figure it out
Afife Hatun, this is better
She'd discover sooner or later - You have a death wish. What will we do now? How will we protect you?
How is Cihangir? - Nazlı is with him, my Sultana. He'll fall asleep soon
It wouldn't come to my mind even if I thought for 40 years. She was always with us - They knew the best place to protect her
Otherwise how would she survive in harem?
What should we do, my Sultana? Do you have an order?
Our Sultana is in a deep sorrow because of me
It makes me pretty sad to see her like that
You are the wound of Hatice
But you are also her medicine
I believe and hope that she will smile again - That's my only wish
Don't expect it to be as good as before immediately
When you lose one's trust, it is hard to regain it
Your Majesty - Be patient
Don't lose your hope
Accept whatever happened
In this world, if you don't accept everything, badness would never leave you alone
Accepting gets one's soul poor
When your soul gets poor, you get silent
Then the sea of the truth will be visible
And you'd remember you are just a drop in that sea
We are back from a long campaign. Be busy with your family for some time and rest
As you order. Good night - To you too
What's wrong with you?
Guards! Call a physician!
What will we do?
How will we protect?
We know what happened to Nadia Hatun. What if we find Firuze hung in the harem one day? - Heaven forbid!
It can't happen
Don't be afraid. As long as I'm alive, they can't even hurt your hair
I meant we should keep being careful - Whatever
Are you okay?
Should we call a doctor?
No need
I'm okay
I just want to sleep a bit
Sleep here tonight. We will figure it out in the morning
Don't worry. Guards will be waiting at the door
Kiraz Ağa won't sleep from now on
Don't you worry, I'll keep my weather eye open
She went to privy chambe again. There'll be hell to pay
Firuze Hatun was such a liar
I never liked her
You'd pray her to the skies until today - !@>£^
Say I missed it, how did you miss it? You were always with her. Didn't you ever suspect?
I thought yo uwere a smart woman
I knew it
How so? - No secrets can be kept in harem, my Ağ. Haven't you got it yet?
Everybody knows everything. When the time comes, it would be revealed - When did you learn it? Why didn't you tell our Sultana?
I told it
I'm going to the park - If you wish, I can come with you
Find Sümbül Ağa. He was supposed to pick concubines for Şehzade Mehmet but he still hasn't
I was with him, my Sultana. He takes care of it
But he hasn't found a concubine like you want - Be there with him. I want no mistakes
Actually there is someone on my mind
But I don't know what you would think. She's a smart woman and also beautiful
Besides she's loyal to you
And you like her very much
Who do you mean?
If you wish, we can send Firuze Hatun
What's the matter with you? How could you do that?
I just wanted to reveal the truth - So you could just say that the woman she's been looking for is Firuze. Have you swallowed your tongue?!
What would I say if she asked me why did I hide it? - Your mind works for tricks! You'd figure it out!
Hürrem Sultana suspected her. She once told me to follow her. I asked the reason. She said there is something that bothers her about her
What are you after, Nigar? What's your aim?
They'll get me married soon. They'll get rid of me
I won't go in silence - Nigar Hatun, you sail close to the wind
Don't get yourself troubled right before you leave. If Hürrem Sultana finds it out, ....
I'm not afraid of anyone
They should be afraid of me
Forgive me your Majesty, I had to keep it as a secret. At least until you came back
I would explain you at a later time but our Sultana somehow discovered it tonight
You know the rest
Where is Firuze Hatun now?
I moved her to another room. She's sleeping
I invited you here to maintain the order in the harem. No matter what the reason is, I don't want you to be part of such ugly games - I only do my duties, your Majesty
Firuze Hatun is your harem. I couldn't risk her openly - That's the matter. You won't let such things happen
Nobody, including the Sultanas, can control you. If there is something beyond your power, you'll come to me - As you order, your Majesty
Do what's necessary for Firuze Hatun - As you wish
You may take your leave
What happened to me? Where is his Majesty? - He was out when I came. You fell sick last night. Physicians gave you medicines to sleep
I raced with my Şehzade until İskender Çelebi gardens, he almost won
Our Şehzade can not be praised enough. I do my best to raise him well - Good
Rüstem Ağa, make your preperations. I'll go hunting with my father - Don't hurry up my lion. We'll go at an opportune time
Order my lunch to the imperial park. I'll eat with my Şehzade
My Sultana, if you wish we can go to the hunting lodge today
We can stay there a few days. Fresh forest air will feel good - Are we going to a forest?
Yes. We can ride a horse together - I want to ride too
Çiçek Hatun, take the kids to their room
Of course I don't expect you to forget everything and hug me. The only thing I want is to talk
Shout at me, insult me but don't keep silent
What do you expect me to say? What is there to talk?
Why didn't you divorce me? Why did you change your mind? At least answer that
Since you want to know, I'll tell you. Hürrem. I changed my mind just not to let her reach her aim. There is no other reason
I haven't forgiven you and I never will!
I'm disturbing you - Stay, Gülfem
İbrahim Paşa was leaving
My Sultana, excuse me for coming at a bad time - You came just in time
I sometimes feel so weak against him
It is hard to resist - Your face is the mirror of your heart. You can't hide your emotions even if you wanted
Please end this. Behave as you wish to behave
You are not here to talk about it, Gülfem, are you?
I have got an important news. Hürrem discovered Firuze
Hurry up! Come on! There are many chests to carry
Kiraz Ağa, what's going on? Will you give all of them to us? - Not to everyone. His Majesty sent them only for you. He ordered to please his favourite concubine
Sümbül Paşa has graced us - I hope your chin will fall down
What are they? To whom are they being delivered? - Who do you think? To His Majesty's favourite, Firuze Hatun
Everyone should know that Firuze Hatun is his Majesty's favourite from now on. Firuze will be moved to the favourites' chamber like every concubine who goes to the privy chamber. It is his Majesty's order
We need to make preperations. Everyone, mind your business, come on
I was worried about you. I hope you are okay - Where is Şehzade Mehmet? Is he in his chamber?
Our Şehzade is at the park with his Majesty
I was embarrassed to my son last night. Luckily he doesn't know I was sending Firuze
Select new concubines with Nigar - Don't you worry, my Sultana. I will take care of it myself
I'll do it. You should be with our Sultana
My Sultana, if you wish, let's go this way
What's going on Sümbül? - Nothing. I just don't want you to be anxious
What are they doing?
His Majesty ordered to move her to the favourites' chamber
Attention!
Haseki (Favourite) Hürrem Sultan her Highness
What are you waiting for? Come on, mind your business
I'd have a walk and chat with Mustafa when you were not here. He wants to sail. He wants to pass to the other side of the ocean ( America ) with a big navy
What do you think? - He can go of course. But not yet. I think we should march to the west. Because it is important. If Vienna falls, then nobody can stop us
Those days will come, lion cub. We'll have many victories together God willing
Your Majesty, with your permission, my Lala ( tutor ) must have arrived. I should go to the class
There is not a greater honour than serving you for me. But it seems to be impossible to continue working under these circumstances - What do you mean?
People who were raised by İskender Çelebi are being dismissed one by one. As you know, I was raised by him. He did a lot for me. I'm sure I'll be dismissed too - Whose decision is it?
İbrahim Paşa his Lordship
That's what he approves for the goodness of the empire
Understood. You may take your leave
I'll get a daisy tea prepared for you. It will calm you down - I don't want
You haven't eaten anything since last night. At least eat so...
You look pale. Are you sick?
No, I'm fine. I was chatting with Nigar Hatun
She was telling me what she did with the Paşa
Talk with Firuze too. I'm sure she has things to tell too
Do you remember what you told me, Hürrem?
" A woman senses "
She was with you since 2 years but you didn't even know. You were sleeping deeply
Don't confuse me with you, my Sultana. I'm a Sultan's woman
If I fell asleep just for a moment, I'd not be alive now
Besides it is not fornication. She is not pregnant either
Is this how you console yourself? Admit it, Hürrem. You lost this time
It is a dirty victory, my Sultana. You formed an alliance against me. You prepared the woman
She's no different than other concubines
Sleeping with his Majesty for a few nights doesn't change the truth
The truth is me, my love
Don't blame anybody
We just made his Majesty see her. That is it
Perhaps you remember. There was a party one night
His Majesty must have liked her. He gave the purple handkerchief to Firuze
Besides don't forget the letter. What he wrote is the proof of the love
She's promoted to the favourites' chamber now. His Majesty sent her valuable gifts
I wish you followed your dear husband like this too! - Admit it Hürrem
The love that you trust so much is over. You are in a bog now
When you try hard to get his Majesty back, you'll go more down just like Mahidevran. You will make the mistakes she did
You can get rid of Firuze. You can kill her
But you will still have to empty your heart. You know why?
Because his Majesty is in love with another woman first time after long years
What is the dismissings about? Many statesmen who were raised by İskender Çelebi have been dismissed. Is it true?
Yes, your Majesty. I gave the order myself - Where did that come from?
Your Majesty, they blame me for the execution of İskender Çelebi. Their loyalty to him causes unease in the state. Besides I'd like to work with people whom I trust
It is not a solution, İbrahim Paşa
When you can earn the loyalty of many people, why do you make enemies?
Additionally, most of them are well raised, bright statesmen
We don't need people who insults or backbites the Grandvizier
They don't have to like me. They can think my decisions are wrong
But nobody can insult my position. Because I represent you
This is what the state manners require - Of course it can't be tolerated
If there is something you hear or know, do the necessary thing. But if you dismiss someone just because he was raised by İskender Çelebi, I won't accept it
My Sultana, your dress
Where is Firuze? Why is she still not here? - I haven't seen her since last night, my Sultana
Summon her immediately
Don't hesitate to tell when you need something
Kiraz Ağa will provide for you - Thank you
Firuze, sit down
Listen to me carefully. Being a favourite and moving here is important of course
But what's more important is to be permanent in the harem
There is only one way for that
What is it?
You'll bear a child for his Majesty
If you bear a Şehzade, then you would be very powerful
You'd be a worldwide Sultana
Who knows, maybe one day you can rule the harem
Don't ever forget my words
Why did you come? - I... Mirhimah Sultana sent me. She summons Firuze Hatun
Firuze where have you been? Come here
Look, what I got
Taşlıcalı's poems
How did you... - I went to Hatice Sultana's palace the other day. He was there too. You could've seen his face when he learnt who I am
I can't forget it - It is obvious my Sultana
I found a way to go near him. I talked with him. He asked me what could he do to be forgiven and I asked for his poem notebook
Did you meet again? - No, it can't be called a meeting. I could only get the notebook. Then he went to Manisa with Mustafa
To Manisa? - I guess he's become one of the confidants of our Şehzade or something like that
He told me a priceless sentence. He said " I feel like I've found the meaning of my life but losing it next day "
He is pretty brave
Don't be sad. There must be a way to meet again
Of course only if you want
I don't know
Wait
My Sultana, it has nothing to do with me. I didn't tell about Firuze
I know
I can send you to the old palace this very moment. You can wait the man you'll marry there
But you will be with Hürrem some more time
Because I want to know about every step she takes. Understood?
The spider web in our poor house is a ship in the sea of longing
What do you think? - Beautiful
Listen to this one
Oh the candel of brightness, if your habit is to burn the lovers in the fire of seperation; I'll accept it
Anyway I'm one of those who's already burnt
Firuze, what's wrong with you? You are strange today
There is something important I need to tell you
Kiraz Ağa, what are you doing here? - I. err...
Mihrimah Sultana summoned me. I wait, am waiting for her
Actually I wanted to tell it for a long time
But somehow I couldn't
Don't scare me. Is it about Cihangir? - No, it is about me
I...
What are you doinghere?
How dare you came?
Get out now
Get out!
I told you to get out! Never come here again!
I won't see you with my children! Did you hear me?
Never...
My Valide, Firuze is my concubine. How can you treat her like that? - Shut your mouth up. Don't make me wreak my anger on you
Did she do anything do you? Firuze is a good person. If she made a mistake...
Mihrimah, you are so good. She is a snake. The woman they had kept as a secret was actually Firuze
What happened? Why are you crying?
I only want you. I don't want anything except your love
Please don't leave me aloneDon't be sad
This world is dark without you
I can't see anything
I'm here with you now
I fell in love with your beautiful eyes
I'll be wherever you look at from now on
Attention, Haseki Mahidevran Sultana her Highness
Welcome to your palace, my Valide
My Sultana, it is a great honour to see you here
Welcome, my Sultana
My Şehzade, I don't want to leave you at all. I can't live if I lose you
Where did that come from? You will always be with me
My Sultana, are you okay?
The palace is as beautiful as you said. We are surrounded by a forest. Fresh air, silence
It feels good after blood and gunpowder smell
I ordered the prepare the next room for you
You honour me, my Şehzade
I came to ask in case you have an order - No, you may take your leave. We came a long way. Rest well
Abbas Ağa, welcome - Thank you
What are these? - They are for you. Best fabrics, dresses, silver plates, golden spoons, everything you need
You don't have to do it
I will present the world for Helena
Where is my fiance?
You are here
This is for you
Do you like it?
Do not touch me - Come on girl
We are marrying soon. What are you saying?
I will organise a great wedding for you. The drums won't stop playing for 40 days, all the poor people will be fed
Why are you here, Kiraz Ağa? - His Majesty wants to see you
What happened? Didn't he say anything?!
He didn't say anything my Sultana. But I was told it is importnat - Order to prepare my wagon
Your carriage is ready, my Sultana
His Majesty is waiting for you at the Imperial Park. This way
What is going on, Kiraz Ağa? Where is his Majesty?
Where are you taking me?
I was ordered to make you wait here, my Sultana
We were here years ago
We met here for 2 years
I gave you a letter
You sent me a message with Gülfem Hatun to wait here
Do you remember?
I didn't forget, İbrahim
I didn't forget anything we experienced
Good or bad
I didn't forget
What you wrote on that letter is still on my mind
And I will repeat it until my last breath even if you hear it or not
Stars rain to my dark nights, my Sultana
Your light is as bright as sun
Moon would be embarrassed and run away
Your subject İbrahim's become blind with your light
He's helpless, my Sultana
I got this ring for you in Persia
According to legend, this rock is made of tears of two lovers who loved each other very much but never rejoined
Whoever wears this ring...
... feels the heartbeats of those lovers
Their hearts becomes a harbour for all lovers under the rain of sorrow
I've already drown in the tears of my own love, İbrahim
No heart can be a harbour for me
Kadı Efendi is coming! (judge)
Welcome Kadı Efendi, it is an honour to see you here
How much did you pay for this? - 100 coins for every 2 yards
What's your price? - 120 coins. This is a deluxe product. You can't find it everywhere
Don't you know about the laws, Efendi?
You can't sell a product you had bought for 100 coins more than 110 coins
Costs have increased. These are from India
We can't order fabrics as easy as before because of the infidel Portuguese - That's none of my concerns. You're supposed to obey the laws
Lay him down and hit his feet 50 times with a wooden stick to sober him up
Kadı Efendi, please forgive me! I won't do it again
Welcome Kadı Efendi...
How much is it? - 30 coins. It is genuine cow leather
It doesn't look like cow leather. Check it out
You are right, Kadı Efendi. It is made of goat leather. It wouldn't make more than 10 coins
It must be a mistake. You can check the other shoes if you like - Wear him a wooden hat and have a walk in the downtown
Please, don't Kadı Efendi
Kadı Efendi is coming
Are these all the breads? - Yes, Kadı Efendi Thank God the business is good today
What are these?
They are from yesterday. I keep them to feed the animals
They are fresh. Your animals are lucky
Baxter Efendi
Scale them
It is not heavy enough
Let's taste it too
Barley and corn flour was mixed with wheat flour
You lower the costs and sell more expensive. Besides it is not heavy enough
Forgive me Kadı Efendi, I will never do it again - It is a big fault to make people eat bad bread, Baker Efendi
It is a big fault
Nail him to his door. He'll be a warning for people - Kadı Efendi, please forgive me
Rüstem Ağa, it is good to see you. I would send you a message - Is there a matter, my Sultana?
There is something I want you to do for me - Yes, my Sultana
But it is very dangerous
I'm at your service, just order it
I'll visit you tomorrow. We'll talk then
Our Sultana ordered me to prepare the horses for tomorrow - Good. Visit me later. There is something I want to talk with you
As you order
Summon Firuze Hatun
I've never been in the chamber of favourites' before
I sent you messages constantly. But they were not delivered to you
My Sultana, I'm so sorry
I was very angry at you. So I didn't want to see you
I could've told you many bad things
Actually I'm still angry
Rather offended
It was a mistake to hide it from you. You tell me all your secrets
It is not only that. You made my Valide sad
Very sad
I've never seen her like this
It is not about being a favourite
After all my father is a worldwide Sultan. This is his harem
You are one of his concubines. You deserve it
But you were sneaky. You fooled us
Instead of faving my Valide bravely, you hid as a coward
This shame is enough for you
Never visit me again. Stay out of my sight
When will her ring be finished?
It will take a while
I love the stones. They have a magical color. I'm sure they'll turn into a priceless jewel in your hands
How is it called?
What is it's name?
Why are you asking? - I'm curious
Is it that hard to tell?
You can't even stand to talk with me
You are anxious since you came
Tell whatever it is you want to tell. Both of us will be relieved
I'll ask only one question
Are you in love with her?
Are you in love with Firuze?
Come in
So you are the Firuze Hatun
Where are you from? How did you come here? - I'm Assyrian
I come from the city of Rey. Hızır Reis brought me
Were you told who I am? - Paşa your Lordship
You should know that you owe your life to Hatice Sultana and Afife Hatun
They protect you
I'm grateful to them - But don't think the danger is over
Your enemy is so strong that when you think you are the safest, she'd get you
Therefore you'll do everything you are told to do
Always be careful. A tiny mistake can cost your life
Understood? - Understood, my Paşa
Good
Never leave her alone. There'll be guards both near her and near her door at nights - I'll do my best, my Paşa
Your best is not enough. You'll protect her at the cost of your life
If she'll be harmed, you'd all be beheaded
You may take your leave
Good night
To you too, my Paşa
Don't stop girl, come on
I want to visit his Majesty - You can't
There is a way for everything - Inform him, I'm sure he will accept
He definately won't. Because it is thursday. His Majesty should be with Hürrem Sultana
What?
Have you started to be jealous too?
Oh God... Come on
Thanks
I see you are here as soon as we returned
I thought you forgot the way to here
I asked where you were, I was told you were here
So I wanted to come and check you - What can I do? Instead of sitting at home alone, I come here to have some company
And I drink a bit
Cheers
My Sultana, do you have an order?
No, you may take your leave
Did İbrahim Paşa tell where he went? - No, my Sultana. But if you wish we can send a message to the palace. He might be there
No need. You may go to sleep
It has been a long time
It seems that she won't forget
Don't give up easily
The trouble called love doesn't care neither pride nor anger. It overcomes everything
Anyway let's change the topic
Nasuh Efendi, keep an eye on Rüstem Ağa - Why? Did something happen?
He complained about me to his Majesty
He told that I dismiss İskender's men
Besides I saw him talking with Hürrem Sultana
It is not a good sign
Nasuh Efendi, won't you introduce me to your friend?
Don't mess with us, girl. We are fine - Come on, I've been watching him. He is not happy
I'll entertain him
What's wrong with him? He doesn't like me?
Who wouldn't like you? Have a seat
Mother? - My beautiful!
Where is my father?
My Sultana, good morning
Is Cihangir up? - Yes, my Sultana
I prepared his breakfast. But he doesn't eat anything. He's anxious since yesterday - Does he have any pain?
My Cihangir, my lion son. Come here
My lion son, why didn't you eat your breakfast?
If you didn't like it, something else will be prepared - I won't eat
You can't do that. You will eat to be strong like your older brothers - Where is Firuze? She'll make me eat. I want her
Firuze is not here anymore. She's gone
From now on, Nazlı will take care of you
No, I want Firuze. Bring her
I said Firuze is not here
She is gone. She'll never come back
Don't be sad, son. Your mother is here. I'll feed you
Chief taster, taste it
It is worthy of his Majesty
It is okay, my Ağa
You can serve it
Don't spill it
Come on, clean here. We have to prepare the lunch! Has the fish I ordered been delivered? - Yes, my Ağa. They are being cleaned
[ I love my life ]
What's up Sümbül Ağa? Why are you angry again?
The sinister Kiraz! He's very shameless!
If I was not afraid of Afife Hatun, I'd make a marmalade out of him
Forget about him
I heard that his Majesty has a new favourite called Firuze - Damn her name
It is said that Hürrem Sultana's reign is going to end. What's the truth?
Ignore them, Şeker. You can't compare a candle to the sun. Firuze Hatun is the candle. She'd melt down in a night
Neither her light nor her existance would remain. Is our Sultana like that?
She rises to the darkest nights and light the world
Rüstem Ağa, you are close to his Majesty because of your job. You can go to the privy chamber whenever you want, right?
Of course, my Sultana. Just order what you'd like me to do and it will be done
There's a girl. Her name is Firuze. I want you to send a gift to her from me
Cihangir, stop it. We are all sad
Where is Firuze? Summon her
My Valide fired her. She can't come here - Why? What happened?
Take your leaves. I'll stay with him
Let's go
Nazlı, bring the cream, I'll apply it
Cihangir, let's take your clothes off - I won't. I want Firuze
Come in
Your Majesty, Mustafa Paşa is here - Let him in
Your Majesty, I am here to present the report of assignments and discharges of Grand Vizier İbrahim PAşa
You may take your leave. I'll send it later - As you order
Your Majesty, I'd like to report another matter - Go
I thought to discuss it at the council meeting but the number of complaints are rising. Artisans, people are infront of the palace all day - What's the matter?
Kadı Efendi, they want him to be dismissed. We have got many letter of complaint
He harasses people with the strict precautions. There are serious accusations about him
Who is this Kadı Efendi? - Kadı of İstanbul, your Majesty Ebussuud Efendi
I saw it with my eyes, my Paşa. He had a man nailed on a door from his ears
I questioned it. Everyone complains. He especially gives hard time to the non-muslim artisans
If it goes on, riots may start God forbid
Ebussuud...
Who is he? Do you know him? - I heard about him. But I don't know him personally. He was the judge of Bursa before
Since he's promoted to the capital, he must be talented
Investigate the Kadı Efendi. Find out who he is
Come in
Paşa your Lordship, I was summoned - Rüstem Ağa, come closer
As I stated before, I'm very pleased with your services. I believe you will continue your valuable services at your new position
I assign you as the Sanjak Bey of Teke. May it be blessed
He didn't come last night
I couldn't sleep until morning
I fell asleep for a while
When I woke up, this was near me
What a nice ring
They are the tears of two lovers who never rejoined each other
Whoever wears this ring,
the hearts of the lovers become harbour - My Sultana - I know what you are going to say, Gülfem
You want me to forget everything and run to him. No... Not that easy
I won't forgive him
Your choice, my Sultana. Continue as you wish
İbrahim Paşa will go and try to console himself with other women
What are you saying? - I think you understand me, my Sultana. Think about what I told. Don't push Paşa to another woman's arms
Get out of here now. Go! - My Sultana... - I told you to get out!
You honour me. But with your permission, I'd like to tell you something - Speak
Paşa your Lordship, You know that I don't care ranks and positions. I'm satisfied with my position near his Majesty. I request you to review your decision once again
You request me to review it, right?
Rüstem Ağa, what kind of disrespect is this?
I honour you by promoting you as a governor, instead of thanking and bowing down, you object it
Who can dare it?
Forgive me, my Paşa. That was not my intention - Will you have different intentions if you stay here?
Never, my Paşa. what kind of intention could I have?
Then start your preperations. The edict's been written. Good luck
My Şehzade, don't be sad
I will visit you whenever I have time - Stay here, don't go
Nazlı Hatun will always be with you
She won't make you feel the my absence
Bring our Şehzade's breakfast
Why did you go? Why was my mother angry at you?
Firuze, hurry up. You need to go before my Valide comes
My Sultana, I've been looking for you. You had left your chamber early in the morning
I talked with Rüstem Ağa. He'll wait for my order. Then I had a walk - Yes...
Nobody else will know it, especially Nigar. You won't tell her anything
Understood, my Sultana
My Sultana, if you wish I can get the bath ready for you. Hot water will relax you
My Valide, I summoned her for Cihangir
Take my Şehzade to her room
Come again
Didn't I tell you to stay away from my children?
How dare you came here?
My Valide, she's innocent
If you are so brave, why did you hide as a coward?
I was afraid
But not of you, my Sultana
I was afraid to lose his Majesty
One can only lose the things they own
There is no place in his Majesty's heart for someone else, there has never been. You are nobody
The only thing you got is the life I bestow you
You may take your leave
You stay, Mihrimah
Don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again
Ever
So you are back
I'm back
My Sultana
Fatma? What are you doing here? - I am waiting for our Şehzade, my Sultana. He left early
I understand
How are you? Are you healthy? - Thank God, yes my Sultana
I guess he'll be very energetic. He's been kicking me for days
Be careful, Fatma
This baby is very precious for all of us - Don't you worry, my Sultana
İnşAllah I'll bear a lion Şehzade
You went to war. I was so worried for you
I don't know anything except your name. You said you had a ranch
I searched everywhere. I asked everyone. Nobody knows you - Don't be sad, I'm back
I'm here
I shouldn't be sad?
I waited for you
I waited for days and months. But you didn't come
Rita told me maybe you are married and have children
She said you must have already forgotten me
But I waited - Do you love me that much?
It seems she was right
You didn't even think about me
Joining the campaign was a lie, was not it?
There are things you need to know about me
I didn't know up to this point and I don't need to know
Anyway I'm an engaged woman
I am marrying soon
Go back to where you have been all this time
And never come accross again
If I had forgotten you,
Would I come here? - I know the truth
Perhaps there is an explanation and you had reasons not to come
But listening to them will only make me suffer. So please keep silent
Where have you been?
What's going on? - I don't know. Go with her
Excuse me my Şehzade, but why did you hide who you are?
There is no reason, Taşlıcalı. It was a game at first
Then I started to like it
I like her naturalness
The way she talks to me, I liked her looking into my eyes without any rules and laws
If I told I was a Şehzade, I probably would never get to know her - It looks like the girl really impressed you
If you ask me, it is time to end the game
She said she's engaged. She is going to marry - I guess you won't allow it,
will you?
Because you said she was crying
She still loves you
Order it and the girl will be taken to your harem
Helena, don't scare me. What happened? Who made you sad? Tell me and I'll beat them
I saw him Rita. He is back - Who do you mean?
How so? Where did you see him? Where has he been? Why didn't he come before? Did you talk? - I didn't listen. I just escaped. Anyway what even if I listened?
Don't say so. Maybe he couldn't come. You could listen to him
Didn't you tell me to forget him? - He was not here before. But he is back
I told so not to make you sad. You are in love. You love him very much
You'll be wasted Helena. Don't marry Abbas Ağa - Do I have any other option?
I have to marry him. Otherwise what would my mother, father, my siblings do? Abbas Ağa would throw us on the street. He could even kill us
So what will happen?
There is nothing to do
I will accept my destiny
I read the complaints about the Kadı of İstanbul. Since all the complaints point the same thing, it should be true
No position or office legalises cruelty - We are investigating it, your Majesty
I summoned Ebussuud Efendi. I'll ask him to defend himself at the council today - Summon him here. I'd like to question him personally
Why did Paşa summon you? - Like I told you, he has made his move to get rid of me
I've been assigned as the Sanjak Bey of Teke. It is a far province in the south - This is all I need. Does his Majesty know?
I told him the situation. He said he wants to listen to Paşa too - So we'll wait
I'll talk with him too. Because we need you here - Thank you, my Sultana
Rüstem Ağa, we will take action tonight. Make your preperations
Welcome, Kadı Efendi - İbrahim Paşa his Lordship wants to see me
We'll take you to the audience hall. You'll come into his Majesty's presence
Hızır Reis held Tunisia for a year your Majesty. But as you know Charles took advantage of our absence. If we could come back earliy from the Easyt Campaign and support him on the land, Tunisia would be Ottoman soil now
You can still consider Tunisia as Ottoman soil, Paşa
God willing, we will conquer it again with Hızır Reis
Have you sent a message to Hızır Reis? - Yes, your Majesty. He must have set sail. He must be here soon
Good
Your Majesty, Ebussuud Efendi is here - Let him in
I heard that your late father Muhittin Muhammed İskilibi was a wise scholar
May he rest in peace, your Majesty, I can only be honoured to be son of a father who had served your father
There are a lot of complaints about you
They say you accused the artisans for no reason and intimidated them
We heard something else that we can not understand
You punished a baxter by nailing him from his nears. What kind of punishment is that?
Does beind a judge give you the right to oppress people? - Of course not, your Majesty
The subjects are entrusted to you by God. You entrusted this duty to me as the Kadı of İstanbul
I'm tasked to apply whatever is written on the lawbook
What's the fault of the baxter? - Let me explain, your Majesty
His breads were lighter than the determined weight. He added barley and corn to the flour
Even so is not the punishment too much, Kadı Efendi?
It is not, Paşa your Lordship. According to the acqusition laws of your supreme grandfather issued, if you will excuse me, I'd like to read it, your Majesty
The flour should be sifted out, whole bread should be baked and it shouldn't be smelly
A bread which was baked like that, excuse me, it is like mud. Not even the dogs would eat that, your Majesty. Like that baxter was not shameful enough to make muslims eat that bread, he also acquired illegally
After the punishment, he can't dare it again
You are right about it
But I'm wondering, does the lawbook say to nail from the ears for this crime?
No - But you just said you are tasked to apply the laws
A judge doesn't always base the laws on, Paşa your Lordship. Because everything is not written on this black book
What's important is the decisions we make with personal conviction
Otherwise everyone who reads this book would be a judge. Am I wrong, Paşa your Lordship?
Ebussuud Efendi, do you have a clean conscience about it?
Our propet once said that there are 3 kinds of judges
1 kind of them is in paradise and 2 kinds are in hell
The ones who are in paradise are the ones who know the right and apply it. The ones who know the laws but be cruel will be in hell. The ones who judge with no conscience will be in hell
When I will have my name inscribed in the book of life, only God knows I'll either go to paradise or hell
But I have a clear conscience, your Majesty. Because the punishment will dissuade the baxter and also will be a warning to the others
Enough said
Like Ömer his holiness once said, if a shepherd's sheep will be lost near the Dicle river, the God would question me about that
All my chamberlains are supposed to be as sensitive and protect the rights just like the Kadı Efendi
Don't forget that where there's no justice, there are no blessings
It seems that you didn't whitened your beard for no reason
It is a compliment for your humble subject, your Majesty. If I could be a drop in the sea of life, I'd be pleased
I'm sorry for the other day. I was pretty angry - I already forgot it, my Sultana
Afife Hatun, Nigar Hatun is here. She said she wants to see Hatice Sultana - Oh God
My Sultana, I will put her on her place
Let her in
You told me you want to know every step Hürrem Sultana takes - What did you discover?
I don't know what exactly it is. Because they hide it from me. But something will happen soon. I feel it
I need more than what you feel, Nigar. Continue pursuing. If you learn something, send a message with Kiraz Ağa
By the way, Afife Hatun has found a few candidates for you. Pick one of them. You'll marry
As you order, my Sultana
Come in
Paşa your Lordship, Hatice Sultana wants to see you
Where is she? - She's waiting in your palace, my Paşa
This rock is Firuze rock ( chalchuite ) - Do you like it?
Women use it a lot in my country
What will this be? What are you making?
You'll see when it is finished - Is it for me?
It is okay
You can serve it
Şeker Ağa, is the tray going to the privy chamber? - Yes, why?
His Majesty is with his favourite. You could've regarded that - I know that. Firuze Hatun loves Shiraz grape. His Majesty ordered it especially. I barely found it
Anyway Kiraz Ağa, don't disturb me
What's the status? - The dish left the kitchen, my Sultana - Good
At last I'll be able to sleep well
Oh moon, rise. If you don't rise, we'll have darkness during the nights
Because there is not even a single star on the sky without you
If the dream of you doesn't come with joy, there would be no solution for our problems
Oh beautiful being, I tried your favor many times, not only once but many times
You raised a dead one like me. Ypı brought me back to life
Firuze, have your dinner. I'll be right back
Inform our Sultana about my arrival - Our Sultana is in her room. She's waiting for you
You reminded me a letter the other day
The first letter you wrote me
Here it is
I still keep it
Time files
And I have your last letter
My Sultana, if you intend to divorce me, don't stop!
I won't be hurt even if you kill me
Because I don't regret anything I did
Once upon a time I gave up on everything and went to Parga for your love
I can go there again and start a new life
I want you to burn this letter, İbrahim
I want you to burn it right now
I want everything you said to turn into ashes
Then I'll forget the past
and wear that ring
Attention, Sultan Süleyman Khan his Highness
Sümbül said Cihangir is sick - Yes, he has been anxious since a while
Luckily he just went sleep
It is hard to admit it. Especially for me
But since that's what you want, since that woman makes you happy, I'll keep silent
Just be with me
I don't want anything else
