Sumbul has informed Hurrem that Beyazid is missing. Hurrem is angry and says: "How is this possible, Sumbul!? When there is so many people around him, how can he get lost!?" Sumbul, looking distressed, replies: "Sultanim, I swear by Allah, I also do not understand. The last I heard, he was going for studies!' Hurrem, stricken with worry rushes off, and Sumbul and Fahriye follow her. Cihangir suddenly appears from the back and stares...
Meanwhile in a Janissary
camp, Beyazid and his friend arrive. The friend (his name is Hassan)
says: "This is an inexperienced boys unit, Shehzadem." Beyazid responds:
"I told you! There is no shehzade! My name is now Hussein!" His friend
(Hassan) apologizes and they walk into the camp.
Meanwhile,
in the Palace, Afife asks why the cariye are waiting outside the hamam
and the cariye replies saying that they were asked to exit. Suddenly,
the doors open and Mihrimah exits shouting "Hurry! Afife Hatun, help,
help!" They all rush inside and Afife kneels down to check on Esmahan
who is unconscious and orders that doctors be called at once. She sees
blood on her fingers when she tries to lift Esmahan's head...
Later,
Hurrem is with Sumbul speaking to Beyazid's teacher and Mercan and the
Head of the Imperial Guard. She says: "How does this happen, Mehmet
Hoca! My Shehzade was not with you? Is this how you attend to him?"
Mehmet Hoca: "Sultanim, we were together for the studies - I left him
for a moment because he wanted me to leave." Sumbul says to the teacher:
Look here now! Is this kind of thing possible? For what reason did you
leave, ooooeeeee?!" Mercan almost rolls his eyes when Sumbul says this.
Mehmet Hoca: "He wished to work alone - many times he wishes to work
alone anyway, so I did not suspect anything." Hurrem angrily says: "My
Shehzade leaves, and no one is witness to it, is that right!!?? Did you
think I would believe this? - Where is my Shehzade? " Then Hurrem turns
to Mercan and says: "What did you do to him?" Mercan says: "God forbid!
Never! Who could do such a thing?!" Hurrem replies angrily: "If that is
the case, then where is he, Mercan!? Where did my aslan go? Are you not
the Kapi Agha? (Gate Keeper)? You are responsible for whoever enters and
leaves the Palace!" Mercan: "When our Hunkar was leaving, I accompanied
him (Beyazid) personally to see him (the Sultan) off...afterwards,
Mehmet Hoca came to me...I immediately gave word to the Bostanciler
(Imperial Guards)." The Bostanci Basi (Head of the Imperial Guards)
says: "Be rest assured, Sultanim, the Imperial guards are searching
every place - he will be found safe and sound." Hurrem replies: "God
Willing it will be this way, Bostanci Basi, if any harm comes to my
aslan, I will take all your heads!" She looks at Mercan directly and
then looks away and continues: "And now, go and find my Shehzade. Hurry
up, quick!!" The men leave, and Sumbul remains behind. Hurrem says to
him: "And Sumbul you go too, I do not trust any of them!" Sumbul leaves
immediately...
Meanwhile in the
young janissary camp. Beyazid is getting his food, and then goes and
sits down to eat. He looks down at the watery soup...then notices how
happily Hassan, his friend is eating. Then, a young man watches from
afar and suddenly says: "Shhht! Momma's boy!" Beyazid turns around to
look at him. The young man says: "If you don't want to eat it, give it
to me!" Hassan, Beyazid's companion, shouts to the guy: "Be satisfied
with what you have!" Then, Hassan taps Beyazid saying: "You eat your
food, Huseyn, otherwise later you will be hungry." Beyazid tastes a
little of the watery soup and cringes with disgust.
Meanwhile,
a doctor is trying to revive Esmahan from her unconscious state.
Mihramah, who is standing with Afife asks why Esmahan has not awoken
yet. The doctor replies that she has hit her head very bad, and that
they must wait for her to come to on her own. Mihrimah mumbles a prayer
to God. Then she asks Afife if she has sent word to Shah Sultan, which
Afife says she has...
Meanwhile
in Hatice Sultan's Palace, Shah Sultan is looking at some fabric. A
woman is telling her where they are from (Italian, Genovese, or from
Bursa etc.). Shah turns and notices her sister is staring out the
window. She says, smiling: "Hatice? Don't wait there, come, choose
something, we can make you some new clothes! Colorful ones!" Hatice
responds, unsmiling: "I have no need." Shah gets up and walks over to
her sister and then says: "What will you do? Spend your whole life in
darkness?" Hatice replies: "Forget me, and tell me what you will do
about Hurrem." There is a knock at the door just then and Shah turns to
find an agha looking quite distressed. He tells her that Afife hatun
has sent him...
Meanwhile, Hurrem
storms into the room where Esmahan is lying down. She is looking for
Mihrimah and says: "Mihrimah! Where are you?! Your room -" Suddenly,
Hurrem notices Esmahan on the bed. She looks at Afife Hatun with worry
and asks her what has happened. Afife Hatun tells her that Esmahan has
fallen in the Hamam. Hurrem sighs and asks how she is? Afife replies
that the doctor has checked her - then she notices Hurrem is looking
very agitated, so she asks her if she is alright. Hurrem answers that
she is not alright. Then she turns to Mihrimah and asks her if she has
seen Beyazid at all. Mihrimah says no, and asks if something has
happened. Afife prays to God, then asks how this could have happened.
Hurrem says she does not know, and Mihrimah interjects saying that she
(her mother) should not worry, that he must have gone off and hidden
somewhere out of anger for not going on the campaign. Hurrem replies
that God Willing that is the case. Afife leaves...
Beyazid
and Hassan are sorting herbs, when the young man who was bothering
Beyazid (from now on let's call him the rude guy because it is easier to
type since he doesn't have a name :p) earlier about his food,
approaches and grabs Beyazid's bag. Beyazid catches him and says: "What
are you doing?! That is mine!" Rude guy: "It's mine now. You can find
another one." Beyazid: "Give that to me right now, quick!" The rude guy
pulls away the bag, and says: "What precious property do you have in
here? Take it!" Then he pretends to hand it over and pulls it away
again. He repeats this until Beyazid grabs him, and the rude guy pushes
Beyazid to the ground and says: "Go back home, Momma's boy! What are you
doing here anyway?" Suddenly, their leader yells out for the soldiers
to form a line, as the Sultan is approaching. Everyone including Beyazit
gets in line and bow their heads. Beyazid looks up and sees through
some trees, the Sultan and his entourage and also Selim....
Meanwhile in the Vatican, the Pope is praying when the Cardinal arrive. The Cardinal informs the Pope that Emperor Charles V and Francois are going to meet again and that Ferdinand and the Princes will also be there. They will make decisions about the Crusader fleets. The Pope expresses that he is pleased and tells the Cardinal to prepare, for they will also join. The Cardinal says "as you wish" and tells the Pope that this time, Suleyman will not be able to raise a foot even against such a holy alliance. The Pope says "By God's Will, by God's Will..."

Meanwhile
in the Sultan's Tent, a Divan is in session and Lutfi Pashsa is
speaking. He informs the Sultan that the Pope has started preparations
for a big crusader fleet and that taking extra precautions in the
waters/seas would be beneficial. Suleyman agrees. Then Suleyman tells
Ayaz Pasha: "When we are in Bogdan, it is important for our coastal
lands to be safe." Ayaz Pasha replies: " Hizr Hayrettin Pasha is already
underway in the seas, he will not let the unbelievers breathe." Husrev
Pasha interjects here and says: "If they have an alliance then their
fleet will be larger than ours and their ships will be bigger as well,
Pasha Hazretleri. Especially, the Venetian fleet will cause us some
headaches." Lutfi says: "Husrev Pasha has a point, Hunkarim, we have not
been able to overcome their forces (Venetians') on the waters up until
now." Suleyman agrees with them and says that it is necessary to take
precautions...
Meanwhile,
somewhere outside in Manisa, Mustafa asks Yahya if he thinks Benito is
telling the truth (if you all remember, in the last episode, Benito had
approached Mustafa and told him he needed to tell him somethings about
Gabriela). Yahya says he does not think the accusations are true,
however, they will have to take what he said about Gabriela carefully
(as in not discard it yet). Mustafa believes that something must have
taken place between them, some animosity, for how could such close
friends become such enemies all of a sudden (Gabriela and Benito). He
says how do we know it is not false accusations? Yahya says that he will
investigate. Mustafa says there is no need, as he himself will
personally look into the matter.
Meanwhile,
Gabriela is walking through a corridor in Mustafa's Palace. She stops
at an open door and looks inside and sees her sister Rumeysa/Lucrezia.
She watches as Rumeysa looks after Nergis Shah. Gabriela enters the
room, saying: "Lucrezia!" Rumeysa says: "What are you doing here?! Are
you following me?!" Gabriela sits down and says: "Lucrezia! Do not be
afraid, it is me, Gabriela Sfenza...from the De Feo family, just like
you! You are my sister!" Rumeysa looks uncomfortable and quickly says:
"I do not have a family...I do not have any sister..." Gabriela replies:
"Years ago, Corsair pirates overtook a ship, killed my husband and
kidnapped you...since that day I am searching for you, my sister! You
weren't in the slave market. I looked everywhere! Lucrezia! My little
angel!" Gabriela touches her sister's face, but Rumeysa turns away.
Gabriela continues: "I can assure you, I am speaking the truth! You are
from a wealthy family! A Genovese family! The De Feos!" Rumeysa eyes her
with an annoyed look when Fidan enters the room and says: " Signora,
are you still here?" Gabriela replies that she just wanted to see Nergis
Shah, and says she will leave, but before she gets up, she whispers to
her sister "I will take you away from here!" Fidan asks Rumeysa if
something happened and what Gabriela wanted from her, but Rumeysa
replies that it was nothing...
Meanwhile,
Shah Sultan rushes into the room where Esmahan lies unconscious. She
goes over to her and says: "My child..." Hatice asks the doctor to
explain, and the doctor tells her that she has fell in the hamam and
that they are awaiting her to wake up and that thank God, Mihrimah was
there and send word on time. Shah says: "Mihrimah?" Mihrimah says: "She
came to me, Sultanim, we were talking, afterwards her foot slipped
suddenly." Hatice says: "So you speak in the hamam now a days?"
Mihrimah is about to say something when Esmahan wakes up. Shah Sultan
asks her if she is alright...
Meanwhile,
in Hurrem's room, Cihangir watches with anxiety as his mother is crying
for Beyazid. There is a knock at the door and Sumbul enters. Hurrem
asks him if he has any news and Sumbul says: "Sultanim, our Shehzadem
first went to the Has Bahce (Main Gardens) and there he met with
Hassan." Hurrem asks who Hasan is and Sumbul responds: "A student in
Enderun (the Palace school). Our Shehzade likes him very much. He is
also missing. It is likely they are together." Cihangir says: "Anne
(mother)?" Hurrem says to Cihangir: "Aslanim, do not be sad...your
brother will come." Cihangir says: "But, but I -" Hurrem interrupts him
and tells Gulsum to take him inside. There is a knock and Mercan enters.
Cihangir continues to look at his mother, Gulsum tries to get him to
stand, which he does but he watches Mercan. Mercan says to Hurrem:
"Sultanim, I found our Shehzade's clothes...they were hidden in the ders
hane (classroom)." Cihangir suddenly shouts: "Anne!" Hurrem says:
"Cihangir! I told you to go inside!" Cihangir shouts: "Anne, I know
where my brother is!" Hurrem surprised turns around to listen.
Meanwhile,
Shah speaks to her daughter. "Esmahan, are you alright, my daughter?"
Esmahan says: "Validem, ben..." but then she coughs and they give her
water. She speaks again: "My head is hurting a lot." Shah says: "The
doctor is preparing some medicine for you, Esmahan. It will pass God
Willing..." Hatice says: "You scared us all very much! How did this
incident occur? They said you fell? Esmahan's eyes go towards Mihrimah,
but then she looks back at her mother and says: "Everything happened in a
single moment, Validem, I do not know how it happened..." She looks at
Mihrimah again and then looks away and says: "Mihrimaha and I - we were
speaking, then my foot slipped, and I fell." Hatice
looks suspiciously at Mihrimah, while Mihrimah is relieved...
Meanwhile, Hurrem is speaking to Cihangir, as everyone stands around. Hurrem says: "Tell me, aslanim, where is your brother?" Cihangir: "You won't be mad at him?" Hurrem gets angry: "Cihangir!' and Cihangir frowns...Hurrem collects herself, reaches her hand out to him, and says: "Fine...I won't be angry..." Cihangir says: "Promise?" Hurrem says: "I promise to you, Shehzadem, but now, say - where is Beyazid?" Cihangir (who looks soooo adorable!!!!!! <3) says: "He went to the Sefer (Campaign)." Hurrem mumbles to herself: "I should have guessed!" She turns to the others and says: "Bring my Shehzade to me, at once!" Mercan and Sumbul rush of...

Meanwhile,
Beyazid sees Selim walking by far away, and he watches from the corner
trying not to be seen. The rude guy approaches from behind, startling
him, and says: "Who are you hiding from like this?" Beyazid turns around
and says: "Get away from me, or else!" The rude guy says: "Or else
what? What will you do?!" Hassan motions for Beyazid to be careful not
to give himself away. The rude guy meanwhile says: "Don't say things you
are not big enough to say (literally, do not say words bigger than your
height)." Beyazid turns around and then suddenly turns back and
punches the guy. the guy rushes over and throws Beyazid to the ground.
The leader comes and sees what the boys are up to and separates them.
The rude guy says that Beyazid started to bother him first, while
Beyazid says no, that the rude guy started it. Suddenly, Selim arrives
asking the sergeant in charge what is going on. Selim walks over and
asks Beyazid to raise his head and recognizes him at once.
Meanwhile,
Shah Sultan is in the corridor and tells Hatice that she did not like
how Mihrimah was acting...and that she is hiding something...Hatice
tells her that she heard Esmahan, it was an accident, but Hatice says
this in a voice is as if she does not believe it either...Then Mercan
arrives in the corridor. Shah asks him where he was this whole time how
her daughter was fighting for her life and he was nowhere to be found
and Mercan replies that he just heard and came to ask about her. Shah
tells him that Esmahan is better, that they will be taking her back to
Hatice's Palace...she asks Mercan where he was and he tells her that
Shehzade Beyazid is missing and that he was looking for him
everywhere...Hatice asks what happened and Mercan replies that in order
to join the Campaign he ran away from the Palace...he says that he has
sent the Imperial guards to get him...Shah shakes her head...
Meanwhile,
Selim is pulling Beyazid aside and says angrily: "Are you crazy? How
could you come here, do you not know our father, Hunkar will be
furious!" Bayezid tells him not to interfere and Selim says "what do you
mean, don't interfere!? Come with me hurry!" Beyazid says: "leave me
alone!" and the sergeant who is watching says angrily: "Know your limits
soldier! In front of you stands a Shehzade!! Forgive him, Shehzadem, I
will give him his punishment at once!" Selim: "You don't interfere
sergeant!" Selim turns back to Beyazid and says: "Come with me I said,
or else!" Beyazid says: "Don't touch me! I will come on my own!" They
walk away...
In
the Sultan's tent, Rustem is telling the Sultan that as the Sultan had
ordered, he has sent word to Hadim Suleyman Pasha and "20,000 soldiers,
more than 70 ships and galleons, and they are making their way towards
India." Suleyman says: "It is apparent that, Hadim Suleyman Pasha is in
India. We are in Karabogdan, and Hizr Hayrettin Pasha in Italy - so we
are fighting on three separate fronts." Mehmet says: "This is a
phenomenal strength, Hunkarim, everyone will see the overwhelming power
of our nation" Husrev adds to this, saying: "The world will fall to it's
knees in front of your will" Suleyman says: "With the help of
Cenab-i-Hakk (literally, the Majesty of Truth, referring to God). We are
carrying the sword of Islam to spread the name of Allah. Our only wish
is for our faces to be bright in front of the Lord of the
Worlds...Malkocoglu what is the state of our soldiers?" Bali Bey:
"Hunkarim, the soldiers have gathered, the army is ready. Whenever you
wish, we may leave." Suleyman sits down and says: "Great."
Just
then, Selim enters the tent, along with a young boy dressed
in Janissary uniform with his head bowed. The young boy steps forward
and the Sultan recognizes him immediately! Suleyman: "Beyazid?" Selim
tells the Sultan that he has run away from the Palace and that he caught
him fighting with a soldier. All the Pashas are looking at Beyazid with
surprise - but most of all the Sultan is the most shocked!
Meanwhile,
Hurrem speaks to Cihangir. "If you had told me earlier, none of this
would have happened..." Cihangir replies very sadly: "My brother is
going to be very mad at me..." Hurrem puts her hand on his back and rubs
it saying: "Cihangir, you did the right thing, perhaps you saved your
brother's life!" She smiles at him and continues: "Outside there are
many dangers...let us pray that momentarily they will bring him back to
us, hmm?" She pets his head and tries to comfort him, when there is a
knock on the door. Shah Sultan enters. Hurrem stands and greets her.
Shah says: "Beyazid has escaped from the Palace, Hurrem...is this how
you are watch over my Shehzade?" Hurrem replies: "It has been determined
where he is...my Aslan is coming back." Shah says: "Pray that it
happens... for if a single hair on my Shehzade has been harmed, no one
will be able to answer!" Hurrem says: "Do not worry, Sultanim, whoever
has been negligent will be punished." Shah says: "The actual negligent
one is you, Hurrem...be certain that our Hunkar will not be pleased at
all with this..."
Meanwhile in the Sultan's tent, Suleyman is removing his helmet and then speaking to Beyazid. "How did you come here? Who helped you?" Beyazid, visibly shaken and perhaps crying even says: "No one Hunkarim, I came by myself." Suleyman: "Look at this condition!" Beyazid says: "I also want to be in this campaign, Hunkarim, I prepared in the best way possible for this - I am good at riding, the sword, archery...Bali Bey is here...ask him if you wish..."

Beyazid says: "I also want to be in this campaign, Hunkarim, I prepared in the best way possible for this - I am good at riding, the sword, archery...Bali Bey is here...ask him if you wish..."
Suleyman:
"All of these virtues are natural for my Shehzade to have. But when
they are not brought together with wisdom and intelligence, they are
worthless! You say you want to join the campaign, but war is done with
an army, and is run by generals. I ordered you to stay at the
Pay-i-taht, and you disobeyed my order! What good is a soldier on the
field who doesn't listen to orders?" Beyazid: "Do what you want with me
Hunkarim, but don't order me to go back." Suleyman: "I am ordering you
to go to the palace. You won't be taking part in any campaigns until you
learn how to obey commands.... Malkocoglu, I want you to find a way to
securely send him back to the palace. Also, I want you to find out who
helped him and those who were negligent, and have their heads cut off!"
Beyazid: "They weren't at fault! It is all my fault!" Suleyman: "You
should've thought of that before!... Look at me... Look at me! You are a
Shehzade, and every mistake you make has a consequence, don't ever
forget this! You can leave now!"
Beyazid stays still, and Malkocoglu escorts him out. Mehmet: "Beyazid, how could you 'escape'? Didn't you think of our mother? She must be so worried right now." Beyazid walks away and Mehmet screams out his name. Rustem: "Shehzadem, let us not disturb him any further right now." Beyazid walks over to Hasan and says: "Run away from here Hasan, if you want to keep your head, don't ever come back to the palace. I order you..."
Back
at the palace, Cihangir says: "My mother promised that she would not
punish you..." Beyazid: "Don't be sad. I am not upset with you. Selim
saw me anyway, which is how I got caught..." Hurrem walks into the room
and tells Gulsum to take Cihangir back to her room. Hurrem: "When will
you grow up?" Beyazid: "It is my right to take part. If this happens
again I will run away again. Give me any punishment you want." Hurrem:
"Because of you your teacher and the Bostanci Basi will be executed.
This doesn't make you sad at all??? ... My courageous son... Be aware
that everybody knows about your wonderful virtues, but your roughness
and stubbornness leaves all of that in the shadows! Sometimes it is
better to pause and wait for things. You must learn to have patience,
otherwise you will pay for it for the rest of your life! Until you
learn, you will stop archery and sword lessons. This is my last warning
to you..."Beyazid stays still, and Malkocoglu escorts him out. Mehmet: "Beyazid, how could you 'escape'? Didn't you think of our mother? She must be so worried right now." Beyazid walks away and Mehmet screams out his name. Rustem: "Shehzadem, let us not disturb him any further right now." Beyazid walks over to Hasan and says: "Run away from here Hasan, if you want to keep your head, don't ever come back to the palace. I order you..."
Meanwhile in Manisa, Mustafa visits Gabriella's home, and he starts talking to her about Benito, as he said he explained some things to him about her. Mustafa pushes her to the wall and asks her who she really is.
In the living room of the palace, Hurrem says Mihrimah got very scared when Esmahan fell. Shah: "I can imagine... she has a sensitive nature, just like you!" Hurrem: "What do you mean??" Hatice: "It means you made her like you... She is clearly lying. I hope you don't expect us to believe that Esmahan just slipped." Hurrem: "You can say whatever you want to me, but be careful when you are speaking about the only daughter of our Hunkar." Hurrem and Mihrimah leave to go back to the palace.
Later, Hurrem is visiting the woman's house, and she tells her she offered her twice and thrice the amount that her home is worth, and the woman says that money is not the issue, and that her home was left to her, and that she has so many memories here that it would be impossible to sell. Hurrem: "I, too have memories... and none of them are as lovely as your memories... I was 17 years old, they killed my mother, father and sister. I was taken from my family and my home and brought here as a slave (by the Tatars). As you have lived in the Avratpazari neighbourhood for so many years, you must have seen many women who were crying... I too was one of them, not knowing where I would wake up the next day. But they took me and brought me to the palace, and that morning I woke up with the sound of a snow-white pigeon. It was hurt, and all alone, just like me. I took it in my hands and kissed it, and prayed. I prayed that, just like that pigeon, I could fly away and go back home... But I wasn't aware that Allah accepted my prayers, as He made the palace my home. I was fortunate, as Allah blessed me with the love of our Hunkar, and the ability to be his Sultana..."
Hurrem: "Kevser hatun... I came here to gain your permission, as I want there to be smiling and happiness in this Avratpazari neighbourhood, which has seen so much sadness and crying. I want people to pray, I want those who are hungry to be fed. I want the homeless to have a home, I want kids to study in a school and for them to have a place to stay..." Kevser: "Sultanim... If I had known that you wanted this so badly, I would have never made you come all this way... You have received my heart, and my permission... My home is yours... May it lawfully be yours..." :'( [We cried here...]
{PART 2}
Rustem: "Also, there is no strength at Bogdan that can repel us... We can annex the entire territory." Lutfi: "I believe that this territory will not accept any foreign ruling powers, and they will give us quite a headache." Husrev: "Lutfi Pasha is right. We should bring Raresh down and appoint someone from Bogdan as their leader." Bali Bey enters the tent and announces that Raresh's brother Stephan has arrived. Stephan is allowed to enter the tent and the Sultan says to him: "When your brother Raresh is trying to flee from me, why are you here in front of me?" Stephan: "I came to offer myself as a servant to you, Sultanim."
Back in the Vatican, the Pope says: "Finally, the children of Jesus have come together... Our large fleet will stop the Turks." Francis: "This is a dream. Nobody has been able to stop them until now." Charles: "If every nation gave enough money and ships, we will destroy the Turks." Pope: "You are right... Malta, what will your support be?" Malta: "We will give 10 galleys." Genoa: "We will be providing 1 galleon and 52 galleys against the Turks." Venice: "We will commit 10 galleons and 70 galleys under the banner of Christ." Charles: "We, alongside the Portuguese are committing 80 galleons with soldiers, cannons and everything necessary." Pope: "The Vatican, and the other principalities in Italy are giving 48 galleons, and 36 galleys." Charles: "Why is the French king not saying anything? How many ships are you committing to the crusader fleet?" Francis: "France will not be taking part in this adventure against the Turks, your holiness..." Charles: "Even without France, we have a fleet of 300 ships. But it is imperative for admiral Andrea Dorea to be at the head of the fleet." Venetian: "When the Venetians are here, a Genoese cannot be at the head of the fleet! Everybody knows our strength in the seas!" Charles: "My condition for this union is that my admiral will be leading the fleet!"
In the war tent, Suleyman is speaking to Stephan and says: "Your brother has betrayed the door where he was fed from. Despite all my warnings, he did not pay his taxes." Husrev: "The list of Raresh's sins is inexhaustible. He also wanted to annex Poland, whom we have a peace treaty with." Bali Bey: "He also had Alvissa Gritti (who was loyal to the Ottomans) killed, and declared his betrayal to us." Suleyman: "Lutfi Pasha, what is the punishment for those who betray us?" Lutfi: "They will receive the most severe punishment... During the time of the father of conquest, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Han, the fate of the traitor Vlad (the impaler) must be a lesson for all of your subjects." Suleyman: "Those who betray us will receive their punishments, and those who are loyal to us will receive their rewards. If indeed you show your loyalty to us, I will then replace your brother with you as the governor of Bogdan." Stephan: "I am always in your service, Hunkarim, with my soldiers who are loyal to me." Stephen then proceeds to kiss Suleyman's throne.
Meanwhile at Egriboz, Barbarossa is planning with two of his Reis. Barbarossa: "With Allah's permission, all of the islands except Crete and a few other small islands are ours." Turgut Reis: "What is the state of the enemy fleet? We still haven't heard anything from them." Barbarossa: "It doesn't mean that they aren't there, Turgut Reis. They are preparing a large fleet." Sadi Reis: "They will arrive one of these days, soon." Turgut Reis: "I pray that they do... So that all of our preparations were not done in vain." Barbarossa: "Yes... we will turn the Mediterranean into a boiling pot, we will throw the enemy inside and look at them from above."
Back at the palace, two hatuns are talking about a loan that one of them gave to the other one, when Sumbul scuttles into the room and tells them to get to their classes. Hatun: "Sumbul agha, when will our backlogged salaries be given to us? We are all penniless at this point!" Hatun #2: "It has been more than a month... how long will this last?" Sumbul: "Oh Allah! You are acting like we let you all starve! Nobody's money will be forgotten. You will all receive more than you are owed!" Hatun #3: "That's what you said the other day, agham!" We then see Hurrem walking with Afife hatun in the hallway, and Afife says that "As you know, there is a shortage of currency right now. We have not been able to pay people for weeks..." Hurrem: "I am looking into this matter. I will find a solution as soon as possible." Hurrem then hears the hatuns arguing with Sumbul and she draws closer to their room. Sumbul: "Don't you guys understand what I am saying??? The army is at war, and you are saying these things without being embarrassed at all! Do not get on my nerves!!! Have you guys become bandits?? Are you aware of how many hatuns there are outside who would die to be in your position?" Hurrem: "Sumbul agha, what is going on here??" Hatun #1: "Forgive me Sultana, we do not have money left in our pockets! We would never want to be disrespectful to you, we are just curious..." Hurrem: "Be patient for a few more days, you will receive what you deserve soon." The girls are thanking Hurrem and Hurrem then tells Sumbul to call Mercan agha...she smiles and leaves....
Meanwhile, Shah, Hatice, Nigar and Mercan are talking in Hatice's palace...Mercan says: "I am executing your commands to the letter, Sultanim. The pot has started to boil in the harem." Shah: "Good. Hurrem will lose her power bit by bit everyday. As she loses, we will gain..." Nigar: "Nobody is happy with the situation. But Hurrem Sultan will definitely quiet them down in some way." Shah: "She may very well do that, but she cannot prevent the fire from burning. If we keep throwing wood under the fire, it will keep growing."
In the next scene, Seker agha is trying to negotiate for some supplies for the palace kitchen and complains that the merchant is charging too much money. He then walks towards where a crowd is gathered, and sees Sheikh (preacher) Mashuki from Aksaray giving a speech:
"Humanity is quite ancient. As long as a person remains true to themselves, then nothing is forbidden for them. Oh people! Do not take heed to those scholars in the divan who make legal judgements. They tell us not to do this or that, that this is forbidden, etc, yet they do not know that our Lord almighty has allowed us to do whatever we want to do. In actuality, whatever the Shariah forbids us from doing is incorrect, as we are allowed to do whatever we want to do. Additionally, do whatever you are able to do, eat, drink, sleep, these are all a form of worship. Fasting, giving charitable alms, making the hajj pilgrimage were all sent to Yazid as a penalty. I say that none of these are true forms of worship for a true Muslim believer. I say that it is sufficient for a true Muslim to pray the prayers during the two religious festivals of the year (bayram). I say it is sufficient for them to see us and our Lord in prostration."
A man in the crowd asks if their regular daily prayers are in vain, and Mashuki responds:
"I cannot speak to that. But I can say that nobody can question the heart of the one who holds Allah near to it (i.e. the one who is constantly worshiping Allah). It is obvious that ibadah (the forms of worship he was describing above) are for lowly people. They have come to keep people busy."
The scene then focuses on Ebu Suud Efendi, who looks quite perturbed.
[Note from the translator: As a note to those who may not be familiar with these concepts, the vast majority of Muslims throughout the generations have believed, and continue to believe in the five pillars of Islam as the mandatory forms of worship and obedience to God: Attesting to His Oneness, praying, giving charity, fasting, and doing the hajj pilgrimage (if they have the means). These forms of worship are clearly cited in the Qur'an. The opinions that Mashuki is preaching in this episode would be considered blasphemy, not just by Muslims today, but also from Muslims back then. Suleyman was a very ardent follower of the laws in the Qur'an, as is evident with his strong association with Ebu Suud Efendi, so this gives you bit of background on why this would be so offensive to a judge who is so well versed in Islamic law and doctrine. Lastly, I would like to point out that Mashuki's opinions that are stated in this episode are quite unorthodox and controversial.]
Back in Hurrem's room, she is wondering where Mercan agha is. Fahriye says she can call him if she wishes, when suddenly Mercan agha walks into the room. Hurrem: "Where were you? The harem is about to collapse, and you are nowhere to be seen." Mercan: "Forgive me, I was busy with some tasks." Hurrem: "The money owed to the cariye's has still not been paid. When will we receive our allotment of money (from the budget)?" Mercan: "I consulted with Mustafa Pasha about this issue. Unfortunately due to the shortage of currency due to the campaign being waged, we are not sure when the allotment will come... We have no choice but to wait for it to arrive. Or..." Hurrem: "I cannot pay from my pocket, as all my money is being spent on the construction projects." Mercan: "I am aware, Sultanim. I was thinking that you could get a loan from the Jewish merchants." Hurrem: "I understand... you may leave now..." After he leaves, Sumbul says: "You would know best, but I don't think there is a need for that." Hurrem: "You saw the hatuns... they cannot wait another 1-2 months. We wouldn't want a riot, would we? I don't want to give our enemies an opportunity to attack me." Fahriye: "Who would dare? We will silence all of them!"
We are back in the marketplace in the next scene, and several men are discussing their confusion about the speech they just heard. "This man is insane! He is an unbeliever! He goal is to spread dissension among the people." We then see Ebu Suud approaching Mashuki, and he says: "You have made some large claims, son. Are you not afraid of sinning, or causing dissension among the public?" Mashuki: "I say the truth. Who are you?" Ebu Suud introduces himself and Mashuki bows from respect, and says his father spoke highly of Ebu Suud. Ebu Suud: "I have a lot of respect for your father, Pir Ali. I also heard your speech, and the things you say do not fit into religion, or into logic. It is clear that you are inexperienced. If you keep talking like this, your end will not be very good... Allah forbid, your breath might be cut short (i.e. die)." Mashuki: "If my breath will be cut short from speaking, let it be so. I won't stop saying what I know to be true."
Meanwhile in the palace, Shah Sultan sees Hurrem in the corridor and says she was coming to see her. Shah: "I heard the harem was starting to become troubled." Hurrem: "Do not worry, I am handling it..." Shah: "These things happen during wartime, let me know the amount and I will pay it." Hurrem: "I am handling it." Shah: "Are you sure? In the end this is our Hunkar's harem. I wouldn't want its reputation to be tarnished." Hurrem: "Be at ease. I have thought about everything."
In the war tent, Suleyman is chastising the head architect: "How many bridges have collapsed already??? How long will we keep the army here?" Architect: "You are correct, Hunkarim.. but the bottom of the river is a swamp, and our constructions cannot handle the speed of the water. Building a suitable bridge will take a long time. If everything goes well, it will take at least a month." Lutfi: "We do not have that much time. We need to cross it before the rain starts." Matrakci: "The Prut river is quite wild, it is difficult to handle. But there is someone who is very capable. Perhaps he may find a solution to this." Lutfi: "Good idea! Hunkarim, he had quickly built three ships during the Acem war, and it is due to his efforts that we were able to cross the Van sea. Ibrahim Pasha had him appointed as a haseki (bodyguard). If you wish, we can give him this task." Suleyman: "Who is he? Can he build bridges?"
The next scene cuts to Mimar Sinan, Lutfi Pasha and Matrakci. Sinan says he was working on plans for the bridge to submit to the head architect. They say that they were just coming to speak to him about the bridge. Sinan says if they wish he can explain the concept to them, but Lutfi says that he will explain it to the Hunkar. Matrakci: "We spoke highly of you. Do not let us down..."
Back at the palace, Fahriye escorts Rakel hatun to see Hurrem Sultan. Rakem: "Forgive me, I was at Genoa for some time. I pray for your health, Sultana... Sumbul agha has informed me of the situation. We are here to help in these types of times, Sultanim..." Hurrem: "We need 50,000 gold. Once our allotment arrives, you will receive more than you gave." Rakel: "As you wish, Sultanim. But the amount is quite large, please give me a few days to secure it for you."
Nigar is walking
in one of the harem corridors by the stairs when she comes across Rakel
Hatun. They greet each other and Rakel says she heard that she has
married a Pasha and congratulates her and says she is a lucky woman.
Nigar tells her to come with her that the "sultana" is waiting and when
Rakel remarks that she has already just come from there, Nigar corrects
her saying, not Hurrem Sultan, but Shah Sultan is waiting for you, and
Rakel follows her...
Later,
Rakel and Nigar have arrived to Hatice Sultan's Palace and meet with
Shah. Rakel greets Shah and tells her it is an honour to meet her. Shah
says: "I have heard your name quite a bit, Rakel hatun, in my mother's
time, you would come and go in the harem..." Then Rakel says that the
Sultanas have honoured her...and Shah replies: "Especially, Hurrem
Sultan...is that not right, I know?" Rakel mumbles that it is just
regular business and Shah asks directly: "How much has she asked from
you?" Rakel taken aback, is quiet, and then Nigar tells her to answer
the question. Rakel answers that Hurrem has asked for 50,000 gold. Shah
Sultan asks when the gold will be deliverd and Rakel answers that in a
few days, but then she asks Shah to forgive her curiosty, but why is she
asking these questions and Shah says that she will tell her...
Meanwhile,
in the harem hall where the cariye's stay, Fahriye walks in and tells
the cariyes to gather around and they hesitate and she gets angry and
tells them to do it. They gather around and ask what is going on and
make comments: "What is going on, Fahriye Hatun? Are you giving us our
money?" and another one says: "Where are those days..." Fahriye tells
them to behave and then she tells them that Hurrem Sultan has arranged
for their allowances plus some extra for them, and the girls are so
happy. They praise Hurrem and Hurrem watches, pleased, from above.
Meanwhile,
somewhere outside in Manisa, Mustafa and Yahya are taking a walk and
conversing. Yahya says that the army is stationed at the Prut
River...today or tomorrow Raresh's head will be taken, and Mustafa
replies that Raresh is nothing, and that he believes that they lured the
Sultan their on purpose. Yahya says that the Sultan has taken
precautions, and Hizr Hayrettin Pasha has docked around Egriboz Island.
Mustafa says that they should keep one eye on the Pay-i-taht, in case of
any attacks there and that the army should be ready in such a situation
if it arises...Just then, Gabriela's carriage approaches. Yahya motions
for them to come over, and Gabriela steps out. She walks over to
Mustafa and greets him, then Yahya asks her why she is still here, and
she says she has sent word over and over to him (Mustafa) and then she
starts pleading for his help...she tells him that he must have found out
now that she is telling the truth about Rumeysa being her sister. She
begs him to help her and she says he has every right to be angry at her,
but if he could just try to understand her - she implores him that he
also has siblings, and how would he feel if one of them was taken
away...She says she does not want to lose her sister again...
Meanwhile, Fidan enters Mustafa's main harem and asks for Rumeysa and tells her to walk ahead of her...
Meanwhile,
Mahidevran is speaking to Mustafa and says that it was obvious Gabriela
was hiding something...Mustafa says that today they met and that she
wants her sister returned to her. Mahidevran says that this is
impossible. She says: "She is now a part of your harem."
Meanwhile,
Fidan enters a room where Gabriela is waiting and leaves Rumeysa to
talk to her. Gabriela says: "Lucrezia, my sister!"Rumeysa says: "I do
not know you. How do I know you are my sister?" Gabriela shows her a
birthmark on her arm and says: "You have one too, is that not right?"
She lifts Rumeysa's sleeve and sees the mark, and Rumeysa pulls her
sleeve back down. Gabriela touches her sister's face and says:
"Lucrezia, my beautiful angel. Finally, I was able to find you! From
this point on, no one will come between us. I am going to take from you
here. Don't be afraid! Our Shehzade knows of this - you will come with
me. From this point on wards, you will live a free and wealthy life."
Rumeysa looks troubled...
Back
in Mahidevran's room, Mustafa is speaking to his mother: "I left the
decision up to Rumeysa. If she wants I will free her and she will go
with her...Mustafa says: "What was the need for this Mustafa? How can
you give this kind of right to a cariye (slave). If this gets to the
other cariye's ears, how will we put everyone/everything in order after
that?" Mustafa replies that he saw it fit this way. Mahidevran looks
troubled, when there is a knock at the door. Fidan and Rumeysa enter.
Rumeysa bows and then walks forward. Mahidevran says: "It is apparent
you have come to say goodbye..." Rumeysa says: "I am indebted to you, my
Shehzade, you have honoured me..." Mustafa says: "May your way be open,
hatun." Rumeysa pauses then says: "My Shehzade, if you give your
permission, I would like to stay here with you." Mahidevran says: "Now
what does this mean? You do not want to go?" Rumeysa shakes her head.
Mustafa says: "Or did Gabriela not inform you that I left the decision
up to you?" Rumeysa replies: "She did tell me, but-" Mustafa interrupts:
"But what, Hatun? You will be free! you will have a home and family! On
top of that a wealthy and famous family.." Rumeysa says: "My home is
here, Shehzadem, my family is you! I have no complaints, I am happy
being with you." Then she falls at Mustafa's feet, kissing his cloak and
cries: "Please, do not send me away!" Mustafa and Mahidevran are
shocked by her behaviour.
Meanwhile,
by the Prut River, the Sultan's men stand around and wait and then the
Sultan arrives on his horse with his guards behind him. He dismounts and
all bow to him. They watch down below as the army is standing on the
bridge, and Lutfi tells the Sultan that they are awaiting the Sultan's
order to cross. Suleyman asks for Haseki (in this case, meaning
bodyguard) Sinan and Sinan steps forward and bows. The Sultan asks if he
has done what he had said and if the army will not fall into the water.
Matrakci then says that he (Sinan) has done a great job and that it is
as stable as the ground. Sinan smiles and so does the Sultan, who turns
to Sinan and then says that he may ask for what he wants. Sinan replies
that other than the Sultan's favour and the chance to serve him, what
else would he want? The Sultan is pleased and says he will indeed be
rewarded, and entrusts Lutfi Pasha with the task of rewarding him. Then,
he tells Lutfi Pasha and Malkocoglu to prepare as they will be
crossing...everyone around is pleased with Sinan and his work...
Meanwhile,
somewhere on the Italian coast. Barbarossa is in his cabin on the ship
poring over one of his maps, when one of his men, Turgut Reis, arrives
to tell him that there is bad news, that the Crusader fleet has left
from Preveza coast. Barbarossa replies that "finally, they are gracing
us with their presence. Who else is there?" Turgut Reis: "Andrea Doria,
the head of the Crusader fleet." Barbarossa says: "This is good news. At
least we know the habits of our enemy. You get the preparations ready
and move ahead with 20 galleys to scout and we will follow behind you."
Also, let our Hunkar know of the situation...
Meanwhile,
on one of the Crusader ships, Andrea Dora is speaking to his advisor:
"For certain Barbarossa will come to save Preveza." The advisor says:
"Andira Dora, we must get the Turks out in the open seas, it is
impossible for them to fight our massive fleet." Andrea says: 'No no, we
will squeeze them at the Preveza coast." If they come to the coast,
they will for sure not leave." Andrea tells him not to worry and the
advisor says that they should be wary of the wind and Andrea says do not
worry about the winds, as I say, it will happen...let us see Barbarossa
come...the whole of Blacksea will be full of Crusader flags...
Meanwhile,
Hurrem is reading in her room when Sumbul enters and informs her that
Rakel hatun has sent word that the gold is ready. Hurrem tells Sumbul to
go at once and deliver it safely.
In
Hatice's Palace, Shah Sultan is waiting impatiently, when Nigar
arrives. "Finally you have come" she says and asks if there is word from
Rakel hatun, and Nigar says that there is, and that she will be
delivering the gold today.
Meanwhile,
Sumbul arrives at Rakel's villa and thanks Rakel on Hurrem's behalf.
Rakel says she is honoured to serve her. Sumbul leaves, and when he
does, Rakel prays to God to save her as she is stuck between two fires.
Meanwhile,
in the harem, the cariyes are looking at a paper and giggling. A cariye
watches from the outside and goes to tell Mihrimah. She says "There is
something you must know, Sultanim. The cariyes found a letter and it is
being passed between there hands...and this letter is written from Bali
Bey to you." Mihrimah tells her she may leave, and then rushes over to
her drawer, but finds that a letter is missing.
In
the harem, the cariyes are laughing and one of them grabs the letter
and starts to read it out loud in a dramatic voice. "Sultanim! Be
assured that I do not want to make you sad or upset, this is why I was
quiet - but I see that this quiet is becoming a reason for your
misunderstanding of me. I do not know who wrote you that letter, but
whatever was written in there, is the truth - I am a loyal and faithful
soldier of our Hunkar. My life has been spent this way, and will always
go on this way. I would never dream of anything else, and even if I did,
it would be impossible. Forgive me, Malkocogulu Bali Bey!" Then the
girl notices that Mihrimah is watching. Mihrimah enters and says who
gave it to you! The cariye says that she has seen it for the first time,
someone had placed it on her bed. Mihrimah mumbles...Esmahan!...
Meanwhile
on a road somewhere in Istanbul, bandits ambush a carriage. Inside,
Sumbul hears horses and noise and wonders what is going on. A bandit
opens the curtain and Sumbul holds out his dagger, but the bandit looks
into the chest of coins....Sumbul prays fervently.....
Meanwhile, Hurrem wonders why Sumbul is taking so long...Fahriye says what could have happened?
Later,
Sumbul has entered the harem and is mumbling to himself what he should
do! What will he say to his Sultana? Then, some cariyes arrive and ask
him what happened to their allowances, that Fahriye had told them they
would get it today. Sumbul scolds them and tells them to leave him
alone!
Meanwhile,
Hurrem tells Fahriye to go check and see what has happened, when
suddenly, Sumbul enters. "Felaket! Felaket! Disaster! Disaster!" he
shouts. "I swear by God, I am not at fault, they just came in front of
us, by great difficulty I saved my own life!" Hurrem says: "Where is the
gold?" Sumbul is shaking and cannot speak and Hurrem says: "Speak, man!
What happened?!" Sumbul tells her that bandits took it...they took
everything....Hurrem is so angry she shakes...
The
cariye who read out Mihrimah's letter goes and says to the rest of the
cariyes that it is obvious they will not get their allowances again.
Everyone asks what is happening, and a great commotion sparks up...Afife
asks what is going on and they all start up and no matter what she
threatens them with (falaka/lashing) they do not quiet until Mercan
announces Shah Sultan. Shah enters and says: "Afife hatun..." Meanwhile,
Fahriye watches from upstairs balcony...
Meanwhile,
Hurrem is yelling at Sumbul: "So many men, so many guardians! How is it
possible that you all could not protect the gold?!" Sumbul says with
his eyes lowered: "Sultanim, I swear I do not have fault in this! How
did they know about our coming on that path, they were very strong or
else.." Hurrem: "Silence!!" She scolds him for his incompetence, and he
stands with his head lowered, thoroughly embarrassed and anxious.
Fahriye suddenly appears and Hurrem turns to her and says: "What did I
tell you, Fahriye? To call Mustafa Pasha to me!" Fahriye says: "Shah
Sultan has arrived, I wanted to tell you about that...she is
downstairs..."
Meanwhile,
Shah Sultan is handing out little bags of gold to the cariyes...The
cariyes are pleased and praising her and praying for her. Then one of
them also sees Hurrem watching from above and bows to her. Shah notices
and turns with a smile on her face up at Hurrem who is looking down
furiously at her....
