Episode 39
What are you doing?!
Leave us alone
You have got a bloody dagger in your hand. How dare?! How can you come like this? My Valide?
Get out
Out
You...
You did that
You killed my horse. I know that
What if she does anything? She looked like crazy
She can't even dare. Daye Hatun is there. What can she do?
Why did you get out? Go back there
Valide Sultana wanted me to
It was part of me
It was the most precious gift of Süleyman for me
How could you kill it?
Why? Is this how you defeat me?
Pull yourself together, Hürrem
Are you aware of what you are accusing me with?
I have no doubts
You spilled blood
You hit the bull's eye
But don't be happy quickly. This shuldn't make you happy
Because
This is a dirty, bloody victory, my Valide
You didn't kill just my horse today. You killed my innocence too
You spilled blood
By now we can't fit in this palace together
What will you do Hürrem?
Will you kill me?
I live with Süleyman's love
I'm the lover and slave of his Majesty
If you want to put an end, Instead of my horse
You should kill me
A slave can't have love Hürem but can have only have hopes and dreams
You are one of them
Who cares about your feelings?
You are a concubine who's obligated to serve the dynasty with loyalty
A concubine who is needy of our mercy and affection
If I'm just a worthless concubine
Kill me
Come on What are you waiting for?
If you can dare that, if you are strong enough
Take my life now
Do you know what happened?
Hürrem Sultana's horse is killed
Oh my god
Who can dare such thing?
What's going on here?
My Sultana, fortunately you are here
You are forgetting your place Hürrem
I don't need your bloody dagger to get rid of you
Whenever I want I can destroy you at once
You wouldn't even be remembered at this palace. Take your dagger and leave now
You can keep my dagger, my Valide
It will remind you what you said and did to me
Who can kill her horse?
Who can dare to kill his Majesty's gift at daytime?
Enough Daye, I'm fine. You may take your leave
Hürremis lying.... is not she?
What she said was not right
What kind of question is this Hatice?
Please answer me
You didn't kill her horse
Did you?
No, I didn't
Forgive me my Valide
End this topic
My Sultana, his Majesty is not here
Where's he then? Speak
His Majesty left to join the meeting
I hope this council meeting will be blessed
When the time comes, all the enemies of the Ottoman Empire will be punished
Infidel Charles (Karl V.) wishes to turn Ottomans' face to the east
So we would get away from the red apple (Vatican) and we would fight against to Persians in the dirt and desert of the west
Can't happen now
I'll spoil the game
We muslims -the blessed subjects of god- will firstly protect the lands we won by sword and make Charles and Ferdinan pay for what they did
Charles will experience the devastating, effacer power of the Ottomans
Ottomans will start a campaign very soon. Start the preperations
We'll knock their doors
They'll have to resign their crowns and swords
They'll surrender and ask for mercy
Not like this, You'll do it as Nilüfer used to do
Didn't I tell you not to touch to my kids?
Forgive me my Sultana. She wanted me to do hair herself
Where's the other concubine? Summon her
What are you waiting for? Take her here
Mom, what happened?
Nothing my dear, don't be afraid
Both of you, pack your stuff
I don't want you here
But my Sultana. Valide's order...
What else did Valide order you to do?
Did she tell you how to get rid of me too?
Do what I say
Get out
Take Nilüfer and Esma to me
I don't want you near my kids
While we are at campaign, my Vizier Mustfa Paşa will be responsible of the capital city
Gladly your Majesty, I'm honored
There's another letter I want to write
We can't start this campaign without a Serasker (Commander in chief)
I issue the honorable Ottoman army's serasker position to you
İbrahim Paşa, you are my serasker now (commander in chief)
I have no doubts that you will be successful at this position like all your other positions
Do you think it is appropriate to hold serasker position in addition to grand vizier position?
Why did you cry mom? Who made you sad?
They don't like us my daughter
They don't like you, me and your brothers
Who doesn't like us? Valide Sultana?
Go near kids
You'll take care of them as before
But my Sultana...
Just do what I say
Don't get angry. But if Valide Sultana hears. What would she do?
What else can she do?
She killed his Majesty's gift horse
That horse was the sign of the love of me and his Majesty
That's why she did it
I know it won't stop
When she gets a chance, she'll kill me too
That's why we'll have no more sleeping
We have to be alerted all the time
Pargalı I wanted all the authorities to be gathered at you
Because this...
... will increase our military and political movement speed, won't it?
I agree your Majesty
You deserved this position my Paşa
You Majesty it is such a great honor that you bestowed such important position to me
I'm honored
But what?
You are getting me even closer to death with this position, your Majesty
You know what people talk about me even at marketplace
This position will be a new reason for the ones who want to dig a pit for me
As long as I'm alive who can dare to take your life?
The edict has already been written. There's no way back
Go and start the campaign preperations. You may take your leave
Aye aye
Malkoçoğlu, summon Celalzade. I'll have a new legal decision written.
Valide Sultana is resting Sümbül
Come later
Daye Hatun, I wouldn't bother if it was not important
What is it Sümbül? Say it
What again?
Hürrem Sultana, threw out the concubines you sent
and called Esma and Nilüfer back
What shall we do?
Do nothing
Since she's that loyal to her concubines, let them stay
But my Valide Sultana...
You keep Hürrem's dagger, don't you?
Yes, I keep it
Why are you asking?
Send a message to council committee to be ready tomorrow
Aye aye your Majesty
Master of privy chamber
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
I need to talk to you
Come in
You look pale. What's wrong?
What happened? Why are you crying?
My horse...
My love died
How so? I ordered to be cared the best
Not because of illness Süleyman. Not because of an accident either
They killed it
They killed with a dagger with my dagger
Who can dare such thing?
I don't know
It was laying in blood
I fed it with my hands yesterday
Come
The horse I gifted to MY sultana was killed in My palace
Who can dare it?
Whomever it is, you'll take to me
You'll take me so I'll rip their heart off
Don't you worry your Majesty. I'll take care of it immediately
I'll find whoever the traitor is
Welcome
Thank you
What happened? Have you found the murderer? Who did it?
What murderer?
Someone killed Hürrem's horse
Didn't you know?
No
I'm hearing it first time
Hürrem got mad when she heard
She took the dagger and went to see my mother. She blames her
Can you believe that?
That's too much
How can his Majesty and mother can keep quiet? It is hard for me to understand
It was stabbed at daytime. Haven't you heard about anything?
I really just heard it now
Sultana loved that horse very much
I'm very shocked
I quickly questioned. Nobody knows a thing
You told it to our Sultana
Tell whatever you saw
I didn't see it
I was told that it was killed
Who said that?
Bostancı Bilal Ağa
I ran to Sultana as soon as I heard it
We went together
Where's the dagger?
I have it master of privy
This is a very valuable dagger
It is Hürrem Sultana's dagger
What?
I also didn't get it
Obviously someone took it from her chamber
Tell if you know anything
No
Okay then, question everyone. Sombody must have seen something
I saw the dagger in Nilüfer Hatun's hand last times
Hürrem Sultana's servant
Don't cry anymore
I promise you, they'll pay for it
See what they do to me
I'm afraid Süleyman
My Hürrem
My smiling face
My deep love, the reason of my existance
Throw your sorrow away. Never be afraid
Your life is my life. What can they do? Is it possible?
Come on, don't make yourself sad. Squar your shoulders
Maintain your composure
There'll be a long seperation soon. I shaun't be worried
What does it mean?
Are you going somewhere?
I decided to start a campaign. We'll march to Buda and further to Wien
No, you can't
Don't go Süleyman
When you go, I'll be totally alone
It will be an opportunity for my enemies. They'll walk over me
When you come back, you might not find me here
What's wrong?
Did what I told upset you?
No, not because of it
An important decision has been made today
We are starting a campaign
We will seperate again
I'm here for a little more while my Sultana
Preperations will take a long time
Our target is Wien
Additionally
I'll join this campaign as a serasker (Commander in chief)
Are you Serasker now?
I'll command the great Ottoman Army
His Majety graced the highest position to me for the campaign
Are not you happy?
İbrahim, I know you will be angry
But I did something
What is it?
I met with astrologer Yakup Efendi
He said me
As long as someone in your family rises
will get more powerful
Will get more greedy
and that power
that greed
will bring death
That deluder's words shouldn't make you sad my Sultana
My power, my rising will only bring happiness to our family
Did you see this dagger before?
Do you know whose dagger is it?
Did you lose your tongue girl? Speak
Of course I saw it
This is Sultana's dagger
Then you heard that our Sultana's horse was killed with this dagger
I heard it. Yes
Tell then
What shall I tell?
Why did you do it?
Master of privy chamber, it is a lie, slander
I really didn't do anything
I can cut your throat right now
Daye Hatun saw it in your hands
That's true. I had it
But as soon as Daye Hatun saw it, she took it from me
How so?
I was at the harem
Gülşah, Gülşah came
Gülşah?
Mahidevran Sultana's servant
When she said bad things about Hürrem Sultana I got mad
I took the dagger
I just wanted to scare her
Daye Hatun came at that moment
She was angry on me. She took it from me
Who do you think did it?
Who could do that my Ağa?
There are many people. Which one should I blame?
be quiet
Someone might hear
Right
So what will we do?
Nothing
How nothing? Will we leave Hürrem Sultana alone?
I think you forgot what you told to me
What had I told you?
One of them is Sultan, the other one is Paşa
Nothing will happen to them. Only we would be harmed
Oh I was so right
So we shouldn't interfere to this
What the hell are you doing here?
Are we supposed to explain you man? Go away
I'll really hurt you
Be my guest. I think you forgot that night
What night? What happened?
Oh nothing. He is just saying
Come on help me a little
As you know, we can't sleep tonight
What happened?
Nevermind. Let's go
Nilüfer Hatun obviously lies
I didn't take any dagger
But you saw it at her hand
You saw such a valuable dagger at a concubine's hand and you did nothing. Is that so?
She's at Sultana's service
I asked her. She said it was entrusted to her
So I told her to give it back
I thought she is not at her service anymore
That's right. That's why I was angry and told her to do so
What's her fault?
Who fired her?
Valide Sultana approved it
The concubine was not informed about it
Perhaps she thought Hürrem Sultana fired her
Master of privy chamber, Gülşah Hatun came
Let her in
Come Gülşah Hatun
I heard you argued with Nilüfer Hatun a few days ago
Is that right?
I asked a question
Yes
She attacked me with a dagger
Luckily Daye Hatun saved me
What happened then?
Then...
Speak up girl
Then Daye Hatun sent me away
If questioning is over, I'll go
You know, Valide Sultana should be waiting for me
This woman did whatever she said she would. I can't prevent her no matter how hard I try
She'll get stronger as she achieves her goals
What's the situation? Could you learn anything?
I couldn't confirm who it is yet
But I'll find it soon
How's our Sultana?
She's very scared
She's sad. She loved that horse a lot
Whomever is behind it, don't hesitate and walk over it. Understood?
Understood your Majesty
Don't forgive the ones who neglected. Impose the necessary penalty
Don't you worry
Hürrem eat something
Malkoçoğlu, come
Good morning
To you too
Message has been sent to the council committee. They'll come as you ordered
Good
Have you found the murder?
I'm investigating it myself
That matter will be solved today
If you will excuse me I have a question for you
I'm listening
Your servant Nilüfer Hatun. Did you give her the dagger?
Yes, I gave it. Why?
Do you suspect her?
I just consider everything
Not a chance. She wouldn't do it
I totally rely on her
She's loyal to me
Is there anybody you suspect?
No. But whomever did it must be a powerful person or there's somebody important who protects them
You are not settled them even after being fired from the palace
Do you continue your lies here?
I only tell what I see
What did you fill in Hatice Sultana's mind?
Whose lies did you tell her?
Our Sultana is so weak to hear the truths
Is that so?
Is that so?
Then tell me
What are the "truths"?
I smell blood, Paşa
The smell is even on the white marble stairs of the palace
That blood is your blood
When will you leave?
When the preperations finish. We have time
Will İbrahim go too?
Of course he will. As a serasker this time
I'm really wondering
How more will Paşa rise?
Are you wondering how much he will rise?
The next step is my throne
But he can't even dream about it
Because he is not a member of the dynasty
But he's the groom of the family
Maybe he will still want it
You know, human soul can never be fed
He's not an Ottoman
He's İbrahim of Parga. Don't forget that
Go back to your chamber. You'd been troubled all night. Rest well
Which one of you were responsible of Sultana's horse?
We all are responsible master of privy chamber. But I was on charge yesterday
Where were you last morning?
I went to Kılıç Ağa farm
Why?
New horses came. I was told to check them
Who ordered you?
Gül Ağa. He sent a message the night before
Didn't you leave anyone on your place?
Where were you then?
Turkish delight came from the palace. I ate it at night. Then I felt sleepy
I barely woke up in the morning
When I came, the horse was about to die
It was in blood
Summon all the guards who were on duty yesterday and the night before that
Aye aye
Fidan Hatun
I've been told there's a horse murderer in the harem
Did you see?
How can I know my ağa?
But you know how to set traps
Why are you here?
My Ağa, I have thigns to say. They are very important
What's the matter?
I saw who killed Hürrem Sultana's horse
So you saw nobody suspicious
No, we didn't
Lock the stud grooms and guards in the dungeon
Master of privy chamber, please don't. I'm really innocent
Mercy
Take them
What is it Sümbül?
Master of privy chamber
Who's this?
Battal Ağa. He has things to tell you
I saw Nilüfer Hatun while entering to the stable
I didn't suspect beacuse I thought she'd check the horse
But when I heard about the situation I remembered it. She had a dagger
Are you sure?
I'm sure. I saw it with my eyes
Then why didn't you inform us?
I heard about situation today
Summon Nilüfer Hatun
Why is the council meeting again İbrahim Paşa? Do you know why?
His Majesty wanted us to meet. I don't know either
He'll announce at the council meeting
Sultan Süleyman Khan his Imperial Highness
I want you to read this at the meeting
Tell them to bring some milk and remind to bring clean cloth
Where's your mind?
I'm thinking about our Sultana
She's very sad
She must be devastated when she heard it
There ar many horses in the stable. You mind your business
Girls
Come with me
What happened my Ağa?
Don't question it
Come on
Master of privy chamber, Bali Bey said he's investigating himself
It must be soon. My enemies will be caught
Of course it will be found
What will happen then?
Who can do harm to Valide Sultana?
It would be enough to be found
Even if nothing happens, Sultan Süleyman will see his mother's real face
My Sultana, Nilüfer was pressured a lot last night
Such a pity. What if she's blamed?
Who would believe that?
It is an obvious lie
Really, where's she?
She was in your chamber
The decision has been made. His Majesty is starting a campaign
So they are leaving
This is a unique opportunity for my enemies
When Sultan Süleyman will be back, I won't be in this palace
Where will you be?
Most probably in a grave
or at the bottom of sea
I praise the supreme Allah who makes my wishes come true;
My rules and lawys are applied all around the world
In the country, my orders are followed with the obeying order of Quran to Allah and Prophet Muhammed
I appointed İbrahim Paşa as Serasker for the protection of countries under my reign
I raise his salary from 2 million coins to 3 million coins
It will be kbown that he represents me and my words
And noone will dismiss his orders and words
and they'll be followed
During my life, İbrahim Paşa is the only responsible person to take measures and punish without asking me
My subjects can not act against my edict
Come
You were seen walking in to stable with a dagger
Lies. I swear I did nothing
Don't cry
If you want me to protect you, then you should help me. You'll tell me everything you know
I'm innocent
Why would I do that? I have nobody to rely on besides Hürrem Sultana at this palace
Maybe someone else approached you
with gifts and golds
They might have threaten and confuse you
No, never
I'd rather die than to betray my Sultana
But they betrayed you
First it was told you had the dagger
Then I was told you walked in to the stable
Pull yourself together girl. They are using you. Can't you see?
So you'll keep quiet
Okay then
You'll be executed tonight. Guards
Take her to the dungeons
Master of privy chamber
What are you waiting for?
No
Okay
Okay, I'll tell
Leave her
Get out
I'm listening to you
That night, I mean, the night that the horse died
I was sleeping
Come with me
He's waiting to take you
Where to?
He'll get you on a boat and sail in the sea. Then he'll throw a hood over your head
After that he'll throw you to sea alive
You'll be dinner for the fish
Mercy me
You can go back to your warm bed under one condition
I'll do whatever you want me to do
I had no other options
If I didn't do what she said...
I'm embarrassed
I betrayed my Sultana
Please don't tell her
Pity
Such a pity
Whereas Hürrem Sultana defended you today
She said she relies on you and that you are loyal to her
Don't be sad
You thought about your own sake at first like everyone else here
What will happen now?
What will you do to me?
His Majesty will decide on it
What is it Pargalı?
Are you tongue-tied?
Don't you like the decisions I made?
I never discussed your decisions all my life. I fulfilled them without conditions
I understood some of them and I tried to understand some of them
Is this one of the them you try to understand?
You told me that position of commander in chief gets you even closer to death
and I aimed to save you from that fear
Like everyone you should also know that your life is under my protection
I'm protecting you even from myself with this decision
Let's talk about the campaign preperations
Nilüfer, Esma, where are you?
Where's Nilüfer?
She's not back yet
Where did she go?
I don't know. Sümbül Ağa came to take her
Go check her. Find out where she is
Valide Sultana her Highness is here
Forgive me, I'm bothering you
Daye, wait outside
What's the matter?
I questioned Nilüfer Hatun a while ago
She made a confession
So she accepted her crime
Punish her immediately
But she said one more thing my Valide
According to what she said, Daye Hatun instigated her
What does it mean?
She woke her up at the morning the horse was killed. She said I'll kill you if you don't do what I want
Did you believe in that?
What kind of dare?1
Don't you know that Daye Hatun is my eyes and ears in the harem?
Is my 40-year-chamberlain suspected because of an impertinent concubine?
I'm just trying to end the investigation with his Majesty's order
If you have an evidence, tell me
I'll punish Daye myself
But if you don't have a proof, I'll regard the insultation made to her as it is an insultation towards me
Of course not my Valide..
Master of privcy chamber, the concubine already condessed her crime
Do the necessary thing immediately
Additionally, nobody will know about she told about Daye Hatun
Especially his Majesty
Because I don't want my lion's valuable mind to be busy with such lies
Do you understand me?
Your Majesty I'm sure Charles will do castle defence
Because he can't dare pitched battle
Therefore the cannon balls are very important
We should take siege cannon. We should even manufacture new cannons
You are right Pargalı
But before Vienna, we have got whole Hungary to re-conquer
The preperations should be faster
We should leave for the campaign as soon as possible
We must knock the doors of Vienna up until July
Because I don't want to be caught by the winter
Your Majesty, Bali Bey is here
Let him in
Come Malkoçoğlu
Join us. We are talking about the campaign preperations
You wanted me to investigate the case that happened yesterday
Yes, did you find it?
Nilüfer Hatun
Are you sure?
She's the most loyal servant of Hürrem Hatun
She confessed everything crying. She's embarrassed
She beged me not to tell Hürrem Sultana about her betrayal
What's your personal opinion?
Your Majesty, I think
She has no reason to do that
Esma, what happened?
Where's Nilüfer? Why is not she back?
I searched everywhere in the harem my Sultana. But I couldn't find Nilüfer
Like she went to earth
Where did she go?
Sultan Süleyman Khan his Highness
What happened my lion?
I learnt who killed the horse I gifted to Hürrem
Really? Who is the traitor?
One of Hürrem's servants
Nilüfer
But my Valide, it is obvious that she can't dare it on her own
I don't know who adviced her yet
Whomever gave her the order obviously intented to blame it on me
I think the order was issued by the closest one to her; Hürrem
Nilüfer is her concubine
My Valide, incidents are going on incessantly
If the order won't be maintained in the harem, I'll interfere to it myself
I'll inform his Majesty
I came to talk to you
Really?
I'm listening to you my Sultana
Where's Nilüfer?
Sümbül told me she was brought with your order
There're stil no news
Where's she?
What did you do to her?
What happened? Why did you come? What will you do to me?
Calm down
I want to see Hürrem Sultana. Take me to her
My Mehmet
My little lion
Hürrem Sultana is not here
If you wish, I'll call her right now
There's no need. Icame her eto see my grandchildren
My beautiful girl
What's wrong my dear? Are you sick?
You don't like us
You don't like my mother and brothers
I don't like you
Go on
My Sultana, go on
That's enough
I'll study later
What did you do today?
When are you leaving?
Our preperations will be finished in spring
What's wrong?
Is something bothering you?
Today
At the council meeting
My life is graced to be protected by his Majesty
During his life, I'll never be sentenced to death
Why was it necessary?
Such an assurance
I hold all of the authorities of the Empire now
Like a bed of nails
I came to see my grandchildren. Where have you been?
When Nilüfer disapeard suddenly
I was wondering about her
The poor girl is killed
I heard it
My lion ordered it
How many more victims should I give to you?
When will your grudge end?
When I die?
Who cares your unvaluable life?
I'm worried about my grandchildren
Mihrimah just said she doesn't like me
Obviously you are poisoning the kids against me
Who are you to confuse a Sultana from my blood, from dynasty's blood?
This is my last warning Hürrem. Know your place
Never ever consider yourself equal to royal family
Don't think you are one of them. Otherwise I'll take my grandchildren away from you
You'd never see them again
May 1529
Not to the sword, you should look into my eyes my Prince
Take it
Yes
I've learnt how to hold a sword
Instead of a prince sword, I want to train with a real sword
It will happen when the time comes
I want too
Come on my prince
My father won't take me to the campaign again. I wish I could go with you
Yes
No rush my prince
We'll have many more campaigns. We'll conquer the world
Let's go. It is time to say goodbye to his Majesty
It is the time
I don't want to say goodbye
With Allah's permission, I will come back with a great victory
Don't be sad
But I have a request from you
Stay at the Topkapı Palace until I come back
No
I'll wait you here
I'll be worried about you
You shouldn't
I'm fine
My the only wish...
...is to come back unharmed
I promise you. I'll come back
Sultan Süleyman Khan his Highness
My lion, I truly believe you'll return with a great victory
May god open your way and sharpen your sword
Amen
Write me always
I'd like to know how you are
Mother, my harem is entrusted to you
Especially...
Hürrem Sultana
As you know
The last incident made her pretty sad. If you will be by her side she'll feel safe
Don't be worrying yourself
Goodbye
4 months later
Buda Palace, Budapest
Mohacs Plain, August 1529
Command all the squads to move faster
We have been too slow because of rain and mud
We had to leave the heavy cannons
I don't want to waste any more time. We need to marchto Vienna. Noone should stop at nothing
Your Majesty, many left Buda palace yesterday. Helter-stelker
We'll siege and conquer buda next week at the latest
Sultan Süleyman settled in Mohacs
We must get out of here before his cruel army arrives
Archduke your Highness, our preperations are done
We can even leave now
Let's go then. We need to make it to Vienna
Inform the princes to meet in Vienna
You kept your promise
I'm expressing my nation's gratitude to you
Archduke Ferdinand stole a crown he didn't deserve and he's ruling our country for months
Buda is still occupied
But they'll leave Buda when they learn Ottomans are marching
It can't be considered to battle against your supreme army
But he'll take the holy crown and escape
Janos Szapolyai
We kept our promise
Your throne and crown will be returned to you
As long as you keep your reign
Or finding a king who would keep it would be inevitable
I understand. I understand it very well
Bali Bey, this mission is yours
Immdiately go and get the crown before we arrive to Vienna
Vatican Palace
Sultan Süleyman will march to Vienna with his army, your Holiness
He's approaching to Buda from Mohacs, Charles is asking for your help
I warned Charles and Archduke Ferdinand
They ran a wrong politics by stealing the holy crown and occupying Buda
They tried to make Persians against Turks in vain
Nobody will support Charles
Vatican Palace
They say Sultan Süleyman is approaching to Vienna
If that siege would be successful, that'd be the end of Christian World
Maybe Luther is right about not fighting against Turks
If things go wrong we can cooperate with Sultan Süleyman
You Majesty, Crown of Hungarian king is taken back
Take this to Buda and crown it to Zapolyai
Your Majesty, asking for your forgiveness, while you are here is it for me to crown it?
Yes, it is Bali Bey
Zapolyai will get his crown from an Ottoman hero like you, especially form the master of my privy chamber. What else could he want?
We need to take the road
Vienna is waiting for us
We got an important thing
You see the value Sultan Süleyman values
Zapolyai doesn't deserve this
Can a king who lost his crown once be a king once again?
A powerful European who knows Habsburgs better should sit on the Hungarian throne
Signore Gritti
You have someone in your mind
Obviously
Who?
Is it you?
Vienna Palace
Our stately emperor,
We would like to inform you that we are ready to support you to fight against the Turks
30.000 infantry and 2.000 cavalry from Bohemia
25.000 soldiers are gathered from Moravia
In addition to these, our squads will join from Bavaria, Saxony, Westphalia
But
But what?
In return to our support, we believe you will support us too
What does it even mean?
How can I help you when Turks knock our doors?
We request you to soften your attitude against the Luterians
Forgive me my Sultana. I'll clean it now
Forget it now. You'll clean later
I have things to tell you
Bring me Yakup Efendi
Aye aye my Sultana
Come on, very quicly, be careful
Don't stare at me like an idiot. Check the meat and rice come on
My Ağa. Do you have an order?
Reserve me a big portion of best, the softest part of the meat
My Ağa, this is the sacrifice meat of Mahidevran Sultana
Listen to me, reserve me 3-5 kg
Wow, maybe I should give you the whole cow?
Since you said cow, Where's the cow Sümbül?
My Sultanas
Did you distribute the meat to the people?
All needers are delivered meat, my Sultana
Everyone prays for you and Mahidevran Sultana
They say " May God bless them "
May God bless his Majesty
Thanks to him, I got a lot of prayers because of the fountains I had made
I hope they'll return with victory within a short time
Inshallah, amen
It is silent in the harem for a long time
His Majesty entrusted Hürrem Sultana to Valide Sultana, that's why
He hogtied her
He did but...
This silence is no good
A storm is about to break out
I'm telling you
The best hearted of the Sultanas, welcome
What's happening here?
Mahidevran Sultan's foundations in Aksaray and Balat are opened
Lots of meat is served, delights will be served in the evening
Everyone talks about her now
They pray for her, right?
Right
I want to do charity work too
Wht can I do bigger than what she did?
The most favourite one is the holy lands
If you do charity work to Mecca and Kaaba, everyone would hear about that
Everyone would be talking about you
To Kaaba?
My Hatice, eat something. You get thin
I'm fine mother
I'm not relaxed when you are alone there
With your sanction
Okay, I'll take care of it, you can go
If you allow me, I'd like to have Nigar Kalfa with me again
Sure
She's much better. She's hardworking like she was before
She can stay with you at least until İBrahim returns
That'd be good
Gülfem would be comfortable too
Daye, did you hear that?
I did my Valide
I hope your fountains will always have water
If you allow me, I'd like to do to charity work too
Get ready, you are going to Hatice Sultana's palace
Where did that come from?
Hatice Sultana wants it herself
Alrght but Paşa sent me back here before
I can't return when he's not here
Actually I don't want to send you either
But there's nothing to do
You'll go tomorrow
Make your preperations
What will I do now?
I made a voew hos his Majesty to come back unharmed
What do you want to do? Tell me
I want to build caravansaries (hostels) , hamams (baths) and fountains to the holy lands
Of course if you allow me
So the holy lands
I don't mind it
But in order to do this we need to get the opinion of Shaykh al-İslam (the chief religious official in the Ottoman empire)
Really? why?
It is the rules
If he finds it appropriate, I'll allow you too
What shall I do?
Tell Sümbül to write a letter on your behalf to Hodja Efendi
Did you make it up with her?
What making up?
My lion hogtied me before he left
See what she wants to do?
Who is she to do charith work to the Kaaba?
What's the appropriate thing about this matter in ecclesiastics law?
I request your answer
Hürrem, the favourite
Did you write it?
I'm writing my Sultana
I'll post it early in the morning, inshallah
When would I receive an answer?
Soon
We would get the letter of reply in the evening
Haven't you packed yet?
I'm not leaving at night time, Daye Hatun
Would it be bad? You'd see what to do in the morning
I don't really want to go. I wish...
Forget about that
Our Sultana called you herself
Is it for you to refuse?
Don't go too far
You were forgiven once
This time nobody would save you
If you don't want to serve the palace, we can get you married
Okay, okay Haye Hatun
I shut up
We can call Mehmet too and sit together
Why bother?
Don't get too close with Hürrem's children
You are the oldest prince, don't forget that
But they are my siblings
My father wants me to support them
Do you have any wishes?
Nigar Kalfa would go to Hatice Sultana's palace today
Get the jasper rosary ready, she'll take it to the Sultana
I'll take care of it immediately my Sultana
Shaykh al-Islam wrote that it is not appropriate for a concubine to do charitable acts in the holy lands
Take it to Hürrem right away.Read it to her face
She'll hear why it is not appropriate and realise who she is
Right now my Valide
The most elegant of the Sultanas
What happened?
Did you talk to Yakup Efendi?
When is he coming?
I went to see him in the morning my Sultana
But the door was locked
Then I learnt from his brother that Yakup Efendi died
Dead?
Why?
He was found dead at his home. They riped his stomach off
and his tongue was cut
God know what he was into
What is Valide ordering again?
The answer to the letter you wrote to Shaykh al-Islam İbni Kemal Efendi has arrived
Really?
What does it say? Read me now
Shaykh al-Islam his nibs doesn't find this request appropriate because you are a concubine
What does it mean?
It is not possible to do charity work in Mecca and Medina as a slave
It is unacceptable
Valide knew this answer would come, didn't she?
She made me write a letter in purpose
You should know
Is there no way?
You can do that only if you are freed from slavery
Freeing?
When you are freed, you are not a subject anymore
Then you can do charity work
Who can free me?
Our Valide?
Only his Majesty can make such decision
He can free you
Do you have a death wish?
Why did you come again?
I heard that you are packing everything and leaving
None of your business!
Don't be mad
My Sultana wants you to take this to Hatice Sultana
What is it?
Jasper rosary. It is said that it carries stress away and gives peace
Good, put it there
Then leave. Get out of my sight
Come my Mustafa, get ready. It is time for school
Instead of being at school I was supposed to be with my father and İbrahim Paşa at war
Don't worry
One day, this world will moan with the sound of your sword
You'll rule the world
My Sultana, the book that I had found...
Yes?
I saw it in Nigar Kalfa's room. I took it secretly
Wonders never cease! I knew Nigar took it
What's written on it?
What's that in your hands?
It is a notebook written in Russian language
It is probably Hürrem's
I guess there are secrets about her in it
What secrets?
I don't know that much. But you speak Russian
Would you like to read?
Buda Palace
Vienna Palace
Buda fell in a week
Obviously Süleyman wants to conquer Vienna nad spend the winter there and then conquer the whole Germany
We can't stand against him with our army
Some of the promised forces didn't come
The situation is getting worse
What will we do?
Don't worry Ferdinand
The other forces will arrive soon
There are 72 big cannons, around 20.000 infantry and 2000 cavalry are ready in Vienna
There are brave, experienced noblemen from Germany with them
Their commander is famous Nicholas Folztein (?)
and his assistant Wilhelm
Do you think that would be enough to stop the Ottoman Army?
Calm down Ferdinand
We'll stop
There's no need to be afraid of Süleyman and his army. Take it easy
Your Majesty, your raider subjects are attacking the towns around Vienna
Our other advance guards, are conquering the castles and cities we set sight
Vilsengrad, Altenberg, Regensburg, Brno and Elns are conquered
Additionally, the city of Vaduz is conquered and their Prince is captured
Croatia and Slovenia entered under your rule too
Good
You know that but we lost a lot of time because of rain and floods
We had to leave the heavy sieging cannons in Belgrade
The weather is cold too. It looks like the winter will come early this year
At this rate, we can barely make it to Vienna at the end of September
In spite of all these things, will we still go?
We will go, Pargalı
We will go so we will putfear in Christian World's heart
Charles (Karl V.) will see and understand that there is only one emperor of the world and that is... me
Valide takes everything away from me
Nilüfer, my most beloved horse, Aşk
and now she's preventing me from doing charities
But your mother will change this order soon
What? Why are you here?
Valide Sultana ordered me to summon you
Really?
Why? Did she say anything?
She played a game
She'll make fun of me
Esma
Stay with Mihrimah
Where's the notebook?
You summoned me
Get close
You'll speak about charity, right?
Why did you make me write a letter though you knew the answer?
To make fun of me?
To remind me that I'm a slave?
There's an important matter
Do you recognise this?
Let me explain -Shut up
You can't explain this scandal in any way. You are finished
Your life is between my two lips now
It is not like as you think. I...
I told you to shut up!
I'd expect any kind of malice from you
But I wouldn't even think about this one
You betrayed my lion!
You betrayed him
Never!
Listen to me carefully now Hürrem
If my lion gets this notebook, it would be disaster not only for you but for my grandchildren too...
I will offer you a chance, thinking about them
You'll make a decision Hürrem
If you want to save your children's lives, you'll leave right now. You'll get lost
Nobody will know where you are
How? Where will I go?
Far away, so far away
But...
You'll either go Hürrem, or you'll be executed with your children
The decision is yours
Episode 39
What are you doing?!
Leave us alone
You have got a bloody dagger in your hand. How dare?! How can you come like this? My Valide?
Get out
Out
You...
You did that
You killed my horse. I know that
What if she does anything? She looked like crazy
She can't even dare. Daye Hatun is there. What can she do?
Why did you get out? Go back there
Valide Sultana wanted me to
It was part of me
It was the most precious gift of Süleyman for me
How could you kill it?
Why? Is this how you defeat me?
Pull yourself together, Hürrem
Are you aware of what you are accusing me with?
I have no doubts
You spilled blood
You hit the bull's eye
But don't be happy quickly. This shuldn't make you happy
Because
This is a dirty, bloody victory, my Valide
You didn't kill just my horse today. You killed my innocence too
You spilled blood
By now we can't fit in this palace together
What will you do Hürrem?
Will you kill me?
I live with Süleyman's love
I'm the lover and slave of his Majesty
If you want to put an end, Instead of my horse
You should kill me
A slave can't have love Hürem but can have only have hopes and dreams
You are one of them
Who cares about your feelings?
You are a concubine who's obligated to serve the dynasty with loyalty
A concubine who is needy of our mercy and affection
If I'm just a worthless concubine
Kill me
Come on What are you waiting for?
If you can dare that, if you are strong enough
Take my life now
Do you know what happened?
Hürrem Sultana's horse is killed
Oh my god
Who can dare such thing?
What's going on here?
My Sultana, fortunately you are here
You are forgetting your place Hürrem
I don't need your bloody dagger to get rid of you
Whenever I want I can destroy you at once
You wouldn't even be remembered at this palace. Take your dagger and leave now
You can keep my dagger, my Valide
It will remind you what you said and did to me
Who can kill her horse?
Who can dare to kill his Majesty's gift at daytime?
Enough Daye, I'm fine. You may take your leave
Hürremis lying.... is not she?
What she said was not right
What kind of question is this Hatice?
Please answer me
You didn't kill her horse
Did you?
No, I didn't
Forgive me my Valide
End this topic
My Sultana, his Majesty is not here
Where's he then? Speak
His Majesty left to join the meeting
I hope this council meeting will be blessed
When the time comes, all the enemies of the Ottoman Empire will be punished
Infidel Charles (Karl V.) wishes to turn Ottomans' face to the east
So we would get away from the red apple (Vatican) and we would fight against to Persians in the dirt and desert of the west
Can't happen now
I'll spoil the game
We muslims -the blessed subjects of god- will firstly protect the lands we won by sword and make Charles and Ferdinan pay for what they did
Charles will experience the devastating, effacer power of the Ottomans
Ottomans will start a campaign very soon. Start the preperations
We'll knock their doors
They'll have to resign their crowns and swords
They'll surrender and ask for mercy
Not like this, You'll do it as Nilüfer used to do
Didn't I tell you not to touch to my kids?
Forgive me my Sultana. She wanted me to do hair herself
Where's the other concubine? Summon her
What are you waiting for? Take her here
Mom, what happened?
Nothing my dear, don't be afraid
Both of you, pack your stuff
I don't want you here
But my Sultana. Valide's order...
What else did Valide order you to do?
Did she tell you how to get rid of me too?
Do what I say
Get out
Take Nilüfer and Esma to me
I don't want you near my kids
While we are at campaign, my Vizier Mustfa Paşa will be responsible of the capital city
Gladly your Majesty, I'm honored
There's another letter I want to write
We can't start this campaign without a Serasker (Commander in chief)
I issue the honorable Ottoman army's serasker position to you
İbrahim Paşa, you are my serasker now (commander in chief)
I have no doubts that you will be successful at this position like all your other positions
Do you think it is appropriate to hold serasker position in addition to grand vizier position?
Why did you cry mom? Who made you sad?
They don't like us my daughter
They don't like you, me and your brothers
Who doesn't like us? Valide Sultana?
Go near kids
You'll take care of them as before
But my Sultana...
Just do what I say
Don't get angry. But if Valide Sultana hears. What would she do?
What else can she do?
She killed his Majesty's gift horse
That horse was the sign of the love of me and his Majesty
That's why she did it
I know it won't stop
When she gets a chance, she'll kill me too
That's why we'll have no more sleeping
We have to be alerted all the time
Pargalı I wanted all the authorities to be gathered at you
Because this...
... will increase our military and political movement speed, won't it?
I agree your Majesty
You deserved this position my Paşa
You Majesty it is such a great honor that you bestowed such important position to me
I'm honored
But what?
You are getting me even closer to death with this position, your Majesty
You know what people talk about me even at marketplace
This position will be a new reason for the ones who want to dig a pit for me
As long as I'm alive who can dare to take your life?
The edict has already been written. There's no way back
Go and start the campaign preperations. You may take your leave
Aye aye
Malkoçoğlu, summon Celalzade. I'll have a new legal decision written.
Valide Sultana is resting Sümbül
Come later
Daye Hatun, I wouldn't bother if it was not important
What is it Sümbül? Say it
What again?
Hürrem Sultana, threw out the concubines you sent
and called Esma and Nilüfer back
What shall we do?
Do nothing
Since she's that loyal to her concubines, let them stay
But my Valide Sultana...
You keep Hürrem's dagger, don't you?
Yes, I keep it
Why are you asking?
Send a message to council committee to be ready tomorrow
Aye aye your Majesty
Master of privy chamber
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
I need to talk to you
Come in
You look pale. What's wrong?
What happened? Why are you crying?
My horse...
My love died
How so? I ordered to be cared the best
Not because of illness Süleyman. Not because of an accident either
They killed it
They killed with a dagger with my dagger
Who can dare such thing?
I don't know
It was laying in blood
I fed it with my hands yesterday
Come
The horse I gifted to MY sultana was killed in My palace
Who can dare it?
Whomever it is, you'll take to me
You'll take me so I'll rip their heart off
Don't you worry your Majesty. I'll take care of it immediately
I'll find whoever the traitor is
Welcome
Thank you
What happened? Have you found the murderer? Who did it?
What murderer?
Someone killed Hürrem's horse
Didn't you know?
No
I'm hearing it first time
Hürrem got mad when she heard
She took the dagger and went to see my mother. She blames her
Can you believe that?
That's too much
How can his Majesty and mother can keep quiet? It is hard for me to understand
It was stabbed at daytime. Haven't you heard about anything?
I really just heard it now
Sultana loved that horse very much
I'm very shocked
I quickly questioned. Nobody knows a thing
You told it to our Sultana
Tell whatever you saw
I didn't see it
I was told that it was killed
Who said that?
Bostancı Bilal Ağa
I ran to Sultana as soon as I heard it
We went together
Where's the dagger?
I have it master of privy
This is a very valuable dagger
It is Hürrem Sultana's dagger
What?
I also didn't get it
Obviously someone took it from her chamber
Tell if you know anything
No
Okay then, question everyone. Sombody must have seen something
I saw the dagger in Nilüfer Hatun's hand last times
Hürrem Sultana's servant
Don't cry anymore
I promise you, they'll pay for it
See what they do to me
I'm afraid Süleyman
My Hürrem
My smiling face
My deep love, the reason of my existance
Throw your sorrow away. Never be afraid
Your life is my life. What can they do? Is it possible?
Come on, don't make yourself sad. Squar your shoulders
Maintain your composure
There'll be a long seperation soon. I shaun't be worried
What does it mean?
Are you going somewhere?
I decided to start a campaign. We'll march to Buda and further to Wien
No, you can't
Don't go Süleyman
When you go, I'll be totally alone
It will be an opportunity for my enemies. They'll walk over me
When you come back, you might not find me here
What's wrong?
Did what I told upset you?
No, not because of it
An important decision has been made today
We are starting a campaign
We will seperate again
I'm here for a little more while my Sultana
Preperations will take a long time
Our target is Wien
Additionally
I'll join this campaign as a serasker (Commander in chief)
Are you Serasker now?
I'll command the great Ottoman Army
His Majety graced the highest position to me for the campaign
Are not you happy?
İbrahim, I know you will be angry
But I did something
What is it?
I met with astrologer Yakup Efendi
He said me
As long as someone in your family rises
will get more powerful
Will get more greedy
and that power
that greed
will bring death
That deluder's words shouldn't make you sad my Sultana
My power, my rising will only bring happiness to our family
Did you see this dagger before?
Do you know whose dagger is it?
Did you lose your tongue girl? Speak
Of course I saw it
This is Sultana's dagger
Then you heard that our Sultana's horse was killed with this dagger
I heard it. Yes
Tell then
What shall I tell?
Why did you do it?
Master of privy chamber, it is a lie, slander
I really didn't do anything
I can cut your throat right now
Daye Hatun saw it in your hands
That's true. I had it
But as soon as Daye Hatun saw it, she took it from me
How so?
I was at the harem
Gülşah, Gülşah came
Gülşah?
Mahidevran Sultana's servant
When she said bad things about Hürrem Sultana I got mad
I took the dagger
I just wanted to scare her
Daye Hatun came at that moment
She was angry on me. She took it from me
Who do you think did it?
Who could do that my Ağa?
There are many people. Which one should I blame?
be quiet
Someone might hear
Right
So what will we do?
Nothing
How nothing? Will we leave Hürrem Sultana alone?
I think you forgot what you told to me
What had I told you?
One of them is Sultan, the other one is Paşa
Nothing will happen to them. Only we would be harmed
Oh I was so right
So we shouldn't interfere to this
What the hell are you doing here?
Are we supposed to explain you man? Go away
I'll really hurt you
Be my guest. I think you forgot that night
What night? What happened?
Oh nothing. He is just saying
Come on help me a little
As you know, we can't sleep tonight
What happened?
Nevermind. Let's go
Nilüfer Hatun obviously lies
I didn't take any dagger
But you saw it at her hand
You saw such a valuable dagger at a concubine's hand and you did nothing. Is that so?
She's at Sultana's service
I asked her. She said it was entrusted to her
So I told her to give it back
I thought she is not at her service anymore
That's right. That's why I was angry and told her to do so
What's her fault?
Who fired her?
Valide Sultana approved it
The concubine was not informed about it
Perhaps she thought Hürrem Sultana fired her
Master of privy chamber, Gülşah Hatun came
Let her in
Come Gülşah Hatun
I heard you argued with Nilüfer Hatun a few days ago
Is that right?
I asked a question
Yes
She attacked me with a dagger
Luckily Daye Hatun saved me
What happened then?
Then...
Speak up girl
Then Daye Hatun sent me away
If questioning is over, I'll go
You know, Valide Sultana should be waiting for me
This woman did whatever she said she would. I can't prevent her no matter how hard I try
She'll get stronger as she achieves her goals
What's the situation? Could you learn anything?
I couldn't confirm who it is yet
But I'll find it soon
How's our Sultana?
She's very scared
She's sad. She loved that horse a lot
Whomever is behind it, don't hesitate and walk over it. Understood?
Understood your Majesty
Don't forgive the ones who neglected. Impose the necessary penalty
Don't you worry
Hürrem eat something
Malkoçoğlu, come
Good morning
To you too
Message has been sent to the council committee. They'll come as you ordered
Good
Have you found the murder?
I'm investigating it myself
That matter will be solved today
If you will excuse me I have a question for you
I'm listening
Your servant Nilüfer Hatun. Did you give her the dagger?
Yes, I gave it. Why?
Do you suspect her?
I just consider everything
Not a chance. She wouldn't do it
I totally rely on her
She's loyal to me
Is there anybody you suspect?
No. But whomever did it must be a powerful person or there's somebody important who protects them
You are not settled them even after being fired from the palace
Do you continue your lies here?
I only tell what I see
What did you fill in Hatice Sultana's mind?
Whose lies did you tell her?
Our Sultana is so weak to hear the truths
Is that so?
Is that so?
Then tell me
What are the "truths"?
I smell blood, Paşa
The smell is even on the white marble stairs of the palace
That blood is your blood
When will you leave?
When the preperations finish. We have time
Will İbrahim go too?
Of course he will. As a serasker this time
I'm really wondering
How more will Paşa rise?
Are you wondering how much he will rise?
The next step is my throne
But he can't even dream about it
Because he is not a member of the dynasty
But he's the groom of the family
Maybe he will still want it
You know, human soul can never be fed
He's not an Ottoman
He's İbrahim of Parga. Don't forget that
Go back to your chamber. You'd been troubled all night. Rest well
Which one of you were responsible of Sultana's horse?
We all are responsible master of privy chamber. But I was on charge yesterday
Where were you last morning?
I went to Kılıç Ağa farm
Why?
New horses came. I was told to check them
Who ordered you?
Gül Ağa. He sent a message the night before
Didn't you leave anyone on your place?
Where were you then?
Turkish delight came from the palace. I ate it at night. Then I felt sleepy
I barely woke up in the morning
When I came, the horse was about to die
It was in blood
Summon all the guards who were on duty yesterday and the night before that
Aye aye
Fidan Hatun
I've been told there's a horse murderer in the harem
Did you see?
How can I know my ağa?
But you know how to set traps
Why are you here?
My Ağa, I have thigns to say. They are very important
What's the matter?
I saw who killed Hürrem Sultana's horse
So you saw nobody suspicious
No, we didn't
Lock the stud grooms and guards in the dungeon
Master of privy chamber, please don't. I'm really innocent
Mercy
Take them
What is it Sümbül?
Master of privy chamber
Who's this?
Battal Ağa. He has things to tell you
I saw Nilüfer Hatun while entering to the stable
I didn't suspect beacuse I thought she'd check the horse
But when I heard about the situation I remembered it. She had a dagger
Are you sure?
I'm sure. I saw it with my eyes
Then why didn't you inform us?
I heard about situation today
Summon Nilüfer Hatun
Why is the council meeting again İbrahim Paşa? Do you know why?
His Majesty wanted us to meet. I don't know either
He'll announce at the council meeting
Sultan Süleyman Khan his Imperial Highness
I want you to read this at the meeting
Tell them to bring some milk and remind to bring clean cloth
Where's your mind?
I'm thinking about our Sultana
She's very sad
She must be devastated when she heard it
There ar many horses in the stable. You mind your business
Girls
Come with me
What happened my Ağa?
Don't question it
Come on
Master of privy chamber, Bali Bey said he's investigating himself
It must be soon. My enemies will be caught
Of course it will be found
What will happen then?
Who can do harm to Valide Sultana?
It would be enough to be found
Even if nothing happens, Sultan Süleyman will see his mother's real face
My Sultana, Nilüfer was pressured a lot last night
Such a pity. What if she's blamed?
Who would believe that?
It is an obvious lie
Really, where's she?
She was in your chamber
The decision has been made. His Majesty is starting a campaign
So they are leaving
This is a unique opportunity for my enemies
When Sultan Süleyman will be back, I won't be in this palace
Where will you be?
Most probably in a grave
or at the bottom of sea
I praise the supreme Allah who makes my wishes come true;
My rules and lawys are applied all around the world
In the country, my orders are followed with the obeying order of Quran to Allah and Prophet Muhammed
I appointed İbrahim Paşa as Serasker for the protection of countries under my reign
I raise his salary from 2 million coins to 3 million coins
It will be kbown that he represents me and my words
And noone will dismiss his orders and words
and they'll be followed
During my life, İbrahim Paşa is the only responsible person to take measures and punish without asking me
My subjects can not act against my edict
Come
You were seen walking in to stable with a dagger
Lies. I swear I did nothing
Don't cry
If you want me to protect you, then you should help me. You'll tell me everything you know
I'm innocent
Why would I do that? I have nobody to rely on besides Hürrem Sultana at this palace
Maybe someone else approached you
with gifts and golds
They might have threaten and confuse you
No, never
I'd rather die than to betray my Sultana
But they betrayed you
First it was told you had the dagger
Then I was told you walked in to the stable
Pull yourself together girl. They are using you. Can't you see?
So you'll keep quiet
Okay then
You'll be executed tonight. Guards
Take her to the dungeons
Master of privy chamber
What are you waiting for?
No
Okay
Okay, I'll tell
Leave her
Get out
I'm listening to you
That night, I mean, the night that the horse died
I was sleeping
Come with me
He's waiting to take you
Where to?
He'll get you on a boat and sail in the sea. Then he'll throw a hood over your head
After that he'll throw you to sea alive
You'll be dinner for the fish
Mercy me
You can go back to your warm bed under one condition
I'll do whatever you want me to do
I had no other options
If I didn't do what she said...
I'm embarrassed
I betrayed my Sultana
Please don't tell her
Pity
Such a pity
Whereas Hürrem Sultana defended you today
She said she relies on you and that you are loyal to her
Don't be sad
You thought about your own sake at first like everyone else here
What will happen now?
What will you do to me?
His Majesty will decide on it
What is it Pargalı?
Are you tongue-tied?
Don't you like the decisions I made?
I never discussed your decisions all my life. I fulfilled them without conditions
I understood some of them and I tried to understand some of them
Is this one of the them you try to understand?
You told me that position of commander in chief gets you even closer to death
and I aimed to save you from that fear
Like everyone you should also know that your life is under my protection
I'm protecting you even from myself with this decision
Let's talk about the campaign preperations
Nilüfer, Esma, where are you?
Where's Nilüfer?
She's not back yet
Where did she go?
I don't know. Sümbül Ağa came to take her
Go check her. Find out where she is
Valide Sultana her Highness is here
Forgive me, I'm bothering you
Daye, wait outside
What's the matter?
I questioned Nilüfer Hatun a while ago
She made a confession
So she accepted her crime
Punish her immediately
But she said one more thing my Valide
According to what she said, Daye Hatun instigated her
What does it mean?
She woke her up at the morning the horse was killed. She said I'll kill you if you don't do what I want
Did you believe in that?
What kind of dare?1
Don't you know that Daye Hatun is my eyes and ears in the harem?
Is my 40-year-chamberlain suspected because of an impertinent concubine?
I'm just trying to end the investigation with his Majesty's order
If you have an evidence, tell me
I'll punish Daye myself
But if you don't have a proof, I'll regard the insultation made to her as it is an insultation towards me
Of course not my Valide..
Master of privcy chamber, the concubine already condessed her crime
Do the necessary thing immediately
Additionally, nobody will know about she told about Daye Hatun
Especially his Majesty
Because I don't want my lion's valuable mind to be busy with such lies
Do you understand me?
Your Majesty I'm sure Charles will do castle defence
Because he can't dare pitched battle
Therefore the cannon balls are very important
We should take siege cannon. We should even manufacture new cannons
You are right Pargalı
But before Vienna, we have got whole Hungary to re-conquer
The preperations should be faster
We should leave for the campaign as soon as possible
We must knock the doors of Vienna up until July
Because I don't want to be caught by the winter
Your Majesty, Bali Bey is here
Let him in
Come Malkoçoğlu
Join us. We are talking about the campaign preperations
You wanted me to investigate the case that happened yesterday
Yes, did you find it?
Nilüfer Hatun
Are you sure?
She's the most loyal servant of Hürrem Hatun
She confessed everything crying. She's embarrassed
She beged me not to tell Hürrem Sultana about her betrayal
What's your personal opinion?
Your Majesty, I think
She has no reason to do that
Esma, what happened?
Where's Nilüfer? Why is not she back?
I searched everywhere in the harem my Sultana. But I couldn't find Nilüfer
Like she went to earth
Where did she go?
Sultan Süleyman Khan his Highness
What happened my lion?
I learnt who killed the horse I gifted to Hürrem
Really? Who is the traitor?
One of Hürrem's servants
Nilüfer
But my Valide, it is obvious that she can't dare it on her own
I don't know who adviced her yet
Whomever gave her the order obviously intented to blame it on me
I think the order was issued by the closest one to her; Hürrem
Nilüfer is her concubine
My Valide, incidents are going on incessantly
If the order won't be maintained in the harem, I'll interfere to it myself
I'll inform his Majesty
I came to talk to you
Really?
I'm listening to you my Sultana
Where's Nilüfer?
Sümbül told me she was brought with your order
There're stil no news
Where's she?
What did you do to her?
What happened? Why did you come? What will you do to me?
Calm down
I want to see Hürrem Sultana. Take me to her
My Mehmet
My little lion
Hürrem Sultana is not here
If you wish, I'll call her right now
There's no need. Icame her eto see my grandchildren
My beautiful girl
What's wrong my dear? Are you sick?
You don't like us
You don't like my mother and brothers
I don't like you
Go on
My Sultana, go on
That's enough
I'll study later
What did you do today?
When are you leaving?
Our preperations will be finished in spring
What's wrong?
Is something bothering you?
Today
At the council meeting
My life is graced to be protected by his Majesty
During his life, I'll never be sentenced to death
Why was it necessary?
Such an assurance
I hold all of the authorities of the Empire now
Like a bed of nails
I came to see my grandchildren. Where have you been?
When Nilüfer disapeard suddenly
I was wondering about her
The poor girl is killed
I heard it
My lion ordered it
How many more victims should I give to you?
When will your grudge end?
When I die?
Who cares your unvaluable life?
I'm worried about my grandchildren
Mihrimah just said she doesn't like me
Obviously you are poisoning the kids against me
Who are you to confuse a Sultana from my blood, from dynasty's blood?
This is my last warning Hürrem. Know your place
Never ever consider yourself equal to royal family
Don't think you are one of them. Otherwise I'll take my grandchildren away from you
You'd never see them again
May 1529
Not to the sword, you should look into my eyes my Prince
Take it
Yes
I've learnt how to hold a sword
Instead of a prince sword, I want to train with a real sword
It will happen when the time comes
I want too
Come on my prince
My father won't take me to the campaign again. I wish I could go with you
Yes
No rush my prince
We'll have many more campaigns. We'll conquer the world
Let's go. It is time to say goodbye to his Majesty
It is the time
I don't want to say goodbye
With Allah's permission, I will come back with a great victory
Don't be sad
But I have a request from you
Stay at the Topkapı Palace until I come back
No
I'll wait you here
I'll be worried about you
You shouldn't
I'm fine
My the only wish...
...is to come back unharmed
I promise you. I'll come back
Sultan Süleyman Khan his Highness
My lion, I truly believe you'll return with a great victory
May god open your way and sharpen your sword
Amen
Write me always
I'd like to know how you are
Mother, my harem is entrusted to you
Especially...
Hürrem Sultana
As you know
The last incident made her pretty sad. If you will be by her side she'll feel safe
Don't be worrying yourself
Goodbye
4 months later
Buda Palace, Budapest
Mohacs Plain, August 1529
Command all the squads to move faster
We have been too slow because of rain and mud
We had to leave the heavy cannons
I don't want to waste any more time. We need to marchto Vienna. Noone should stop at nothing
Your Majesty, many left Buda palace yesterday. Helter-stelker
We'll siege and conquer buda next week at the latest
Sultan Süleyman settled in Mohacs
We must get out of here before his cruel army arrives
Archduke your Highness, our preperations are done
We can even leave now
Let's go then. We need to make it to Vienna
Inform the princes to meet in Vienna
You kept your promise
I'm expressing my nation's gratitude to you
Archduke Ferdinand stole a crown he didn't deserve and he's ruling our country for months
Buda is still occupied
But they'll leave Buda when they learn Ottomans are marching
It can't be considered to battle against your supreme army
But he'll take the holy crown and escape
Janos Szapolyai
We kept our promise
Your throne and crown will be returned to you
As long as you keep your reign
Or finding a king who would keep it would be inevitable
I understand. I understand it very well
Bali Bey, this mission is yours
Immdiately go and get the crown before we arrive to Vienna
Vatican Palace
Sultan Süleyman will march to Vienna with his army, your Holiness
He's approaching to Buda from Mohacs, Charles is asking for your help
I warned Charles and Archduke Ferdinand
They ran a wrong politics by stealing the holy crown and occupying Buda
They tried to make Persians against Turks in vain
Nobody will support Charles
Vatican Palace
They say Sultan Süleyman is approaching to Vienna
If that siege would be successful, that'd be the end of Christian World
Maybe Luther is right about not fighting against Turks
If things go wrong we can cooperate with Sultan Süleyman
You Majesty, Crown of Hungarian king is taken back
Take this to Buda and crown it to Zapolyai
Your Majesty, asking for your forgiveness, while you are here is it for me to crown it?
Yes, it is Bali Bey
Zapolyai will get his crown from an Ottoman hero like you, especially form the master of my privy chamber. What else could he want?
We need to take the road
Vienna is waiting for us
We got an important thing
You see the value Sultan Süleyman values
Zapolyai doesn't deserve this
Can a king who lost his crown once be a king once again?
A powerful European who knows Habsburgs better should sit on the Hungarian throne
Signore Gritti
You have someone in your mind
Obviously
Who?
Is it you?
Vienna Palace
Our stately emperor,
We would like to inform you that we are ready to support you to fight against the Turks
30.000 infantry and 2.000 cavalry from Bohemia
25.000 soldiers are gathered from Moravia
In addition to these, our squads will join from Bavaria, Saxony, Westphalia
But
But what?
In return to our support, we believe you will support us too
What does it even mean?
How can I help you when Turks knock our doors?
We request you to soften your attitude against the Luterians
Forgive me my Sultana. I'll clean it now
Forget it now. You'll clean later
I have things to tell you
Bring me Yakup Efendi
Aye aye my Sultana
Come on, very quicly, be careful
Don't stare at me like an idiot. Check the meat and rice come on
My Ağa. Do you have an order?
Reserve me a big portion of best, the softest part of the meat
My Ağa, this is the sacrifice meat of Mahidevran Sultana
Listen to me, reserve me 3-5 kg
Wow, maybe I should give you the whole cow?
Since you said cow, Where's the cow Sümbül?
My Sultanas
Did you distribute the meat to the people?
All needers are delivered meat, my Sultana
Everyone prays for you and Mahidevran Sultana
They say " May God bless them "
May God bless his Majesty
Thanks to him, I got a lot of prayers because of the fountains I had made
I hope they'll return with victory within a short time
Inshallah, amen
It is silent in the harem for a long time
His Majesty entrusted Hürrem Sultana to Valide Sultana, that's why
He hogtied her
He did but...
This silence is no good
A storm is about to break out
I'm telling you
The best hearted of the Sultanas, welcome
What's happening here?
Mahidevran Sultan's foundations in Aksaray and Balat are opened
Lots of meat is served, delights will be served in the evening
Everyone talks about her now
They pray for her, right?
Right
I want to do charity work too
Wht can I do bigger than what she did?
The most favourite one is the holy lands
If you do charity work to Mecca and Kaaba, everyone would hear about that
Everyone would be talking about you
To Kaaba?
My Hatice, eat something. You get thin
I'm fine mother
I'm not relaxed when you are alone there
With your sanction
Okay, I'll take care of it, you can go
If you allow me, I'd like to have Nigar Kalfa with me again
Sure
She's much better. She's hardworking like she was before
She can stay with you at least until İBrahim returns
That'd be good
Gülfem would be comfortable too
Daye, did you hear that?
I did my Valide
I hope your fountains will always have water
If you allow me, I'd like to do to charity work too
Get ready, you are going to Hatice Sultana's palace
Where did that come from?
Hatice Sultana wants it herself
Alrght but Paşa sent me back here before
I can't return when he's not here
Actually I don't want to send you either
But there's nothing to do
You'll go tomorrow
Make your preperations
What will I do now?
I made a voew hos his Majesty to come back unharmed
What do you want to do? Tell me
I want to build caravansaries (hostels) , hamams (baths) and fountains to the holy lands
Of course if you allow me
So the holy lands
I don't mind it
But in order to do this we need to get the opinion of Shaykh al-İslam (the chief religious official in the Ottoman empire)
Really? why?
It is the rules
If he finds it appropriate, I'll allow you too
What shall I do?
Tell Sümbül to write a letter on your behalf to Hodja Efendi
Did you make it up with her?
What making up?
My lion hogtied me before he left
See what she wants to do?
Who is she to do charith work to the Kaaba?
What's the appropriate thing about this matter in ecclesiastics law?
I request your answer
Hürrem, the favourite
Did you write it?
I'm writing my Sultana
I'll post it early in the morning, inshallah
When would I receive an answer?
Soon
We would get the letter of reply in the evening
Haven't you packed yet?
I'm not leaving at night time, Daye Hatun
Would it be bad? You'd see what to do in the morning
I don't really want to go. I wish...
Forget about that
Our Sultana called you herself
Is it for you to refuse?
Don't go too far
You were forgiven once
This time nobody would save you
If you don't want to serve the palace, we can get you married
Okay, okay Haye Hatun
I shut up
We can call Mehmet too and sit together
Why bother?
Don't get too close with Hürrem's children
You are the oldest prince, don't forget that
But they are my siblings
My father wants me to support them
Do you have any wishes?
Nigar Kalfa would go to Hatice Sultana's palace today
Get the jasper rosary ready, she'll take it to the Sultana
I'll take care of it immediately my Sultana
Shaykh al-Islam wrote that it is not appropriate for a concubine to do charitable acts in the holy lands
Take it to Hürrem right away.Read it to her face
She'll hear why it is not appropriate and realise who she is
Right now my Valide
The most elegant of the Sultanas
What happened?
Did you talk to Yakup Efendi?
When is he coming?
I went to see him in the morning my Sultana
But the door was locked
Then I learnt from his brother that Yakup Efendi died
Dead?
Why?
He was found dead at his home. They riped his stomach off
and his tongue was cut
God know what he was into
What is Valide ordering again?
The answer to the letter you wrote to Shaykh al-Islam İbni Kemal Efendi has arrived
Really?
What does it say? Read me now
Shaykh al-Islam his nibs doesn't find this request appropriate because you are a concubine
What does it mean?
It is not possible to do charity work in Mecca and Medina as a slave
It is unacceptable
Valide knew this answer would come, didn't she?
She made me write a letter in purpose
You should know
Is there no way?
You can do that only if you are freed from slavery
Freeing?
When you are freed, you are not a subject anymore
Then you can do charity work
Who can free me?
Our Valide?
Only his Majesty can make such decision
He can free you
Do you have a death wish?
Why did you come again?
I heard that you are packing everything and leaving
None of your business!
Don't be mad
My Sultana wants you to take this to Hatice Sultana
What is it?
Jasper rosary. It is said that it carries stress away and gives peace
Good, put it there
Then leave. Get out of my sight
Come my Mustafa, get ready. It is time for school
Instead of being at school I was supposed to be with my father and İbrahim Paşa at war
Don't worry
One day, this world will moan with the sound of your sword
You'll rule the world
My Sultana, the book that I had found...
Yes?
I saw it in Nigar Kalfa's room. I took it secretly
Wonders never cease! I knew Nigar took it
What's written on it?
What's that in your hands?
It is a notebook written in Russian language
It is probably Hürrem's
I guess there are secrets about her in it
What secrets?
I don't know that much. But you speak Russian
Would you like to read?
Buda Palace
Vienna Palace
Buda fell in a week
Obviously Süleyman wants to conquer Vienna nad spend the winter there and then conquer the whole Germany
We can't stand against him with our army
Some of the promised forces didn't come
The situation is getting worse
What will we do?
Don't worry Ferdinand
The other forces will arrive soon
There are 72 big cannons, around 20.000 infantry and 2000 cavalry are ready in Vienna
There are brave, experienced noblemen from Germany with them
Their commander is famous Nicholas Folztein (?)
and his assistant Wilhelm
Do you think that would be enough to stop the Ottoman Army?
Calm down Ferdinand
We'll stop
There's no need to be afraid of Süleyman and his army. Take it easy
Your Majesty, your raider subjects are attacking the towns around Vienna
Our other advance guards, are conquering the castles and cities we set sight
Vilsengrad, Altenberg, Regensburg, Brno and Elns are conquered
Additionally, the city of Vaduz is conquered and their Prince is captured
Croatia and Slovenia entered under your rule too
Good
You know that but we lost a lot of time because of rain and floods
We had to leave the heavy sieging cannons in Belgrade
The weather is cold too. It looks like the winter will come early this year
At this rate, we can barely make it to Vienna at the end of September
In spite of all these things, will we still go?
We will go, Pargalı
We will go so we will putfear in Christian World's heart
Charles (Karl V.) will see and understand that there is only one emperor of the world and that is... me
Valide takes everything away from me
Nilüfer, my most beloved horse, Aşk
and now she's preventing me from doing charities
But your mother will change this order soon
What? Why are you here?
Valide Sultana ordered me to summon you
Really?
Why? Did she say anything?
She played a game
She'll make fun of me
Esma
Stay with Mihrimah
Where's the notebook?
You summoned me
Get close
You'll speak about charity, right?
Why did you make me write a letter though you knew the answer?
To make fun of me?
To remind me that I'm a slave?
There's an important matter
Do you recognise this?
Let me explain -Shut up
You can't explain this scandal in any way. You are finished
Your life is between my two lips now
It is not like as you think. I...
I told you to shut up!
I'd expect any kind of malice from you
But I wouldn't even think about this one
You betrayed my lion!
You betrayed him
Never!
Listen to me carefully now Hürrem
If my lion gets this notebook, it would be disaster not only for you but for my grandchildren too...
I will offer you a chance, thinking about them
You'll make a decision Hürrem
If you want to save your children's lives, you'll leave right now. You'll get lost
Nobody will know where you are
How? Where will I go?
Far away, so far away
But...
You'll either go Hürrem, or you'll be executed with your children
The decision is yours
