ul.
Tell Halime to come immediately.
We shall now sow discord in the harem.
Do not rely on your youth and beauty.
They could be taken from you in an instant.
No one would gaze upon your face again.
They have your favorite concubine.
Rasha.
What are you talking about, Zulfikar Aga.
That is impossible.
I was told she had perished.
I saw her with my own eyes. She is alive.
What's more, she is with child.
You have recovered surprisingly fast.
Not sleeping well, Halime?
I know very well what your place in this palace is
and what's going on through your mind.
You can't sleep because you're afraid
that one day they'll knock on your door
in order to kill your son.
Thank Allah, the sultan is merciful.
.
He wants us to leave.
I could see what would happen to you.
What's your offer, Sultana?
Because that's why you asked me to come here, isn't it?
The sultan left Istanbul unexpectedly.
He went to face the Celalis.
My offer is...
Before he comes back,
Prince Mustafa will ascend to the throne.
But isn't that weird, Sultana?
He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.
At least he would let us know.
Maybe he didn't because he knew we wouldn't let him go.
But don't worry.
Dervis Pasha went for him.
I saw our emperor's enemies, Sultana.
I looked at them in the eye.
I know what they could do to him.
How could I not be worried?
You want to dethrone our sultan.
Why should I believe you?
Because you have no choice.
You tried to get your eldest son Mahmud to the throne,
but you couldn't do it,
because that time
you had me against you.
But now,
I'm with you, Halime.
I'm the only one
who can make Prince Mustafa ascend the throne.
I wonder how you could do that.
Everybody backs Sultan Ahmed.
We still have important people in this palace.
The general they trust the most
is working for us.
.
Nobody knows that.
There are others.
A sign from me would be enough.
Sultan Ahmed's sultanate would collapse.
There's not much time, Halime.
Think about it tonight.
Come see me tomorrow
at noon
and tell me what you've decided.
Think it through.
Don't forget
that this...
could be your last chance.
Get some rest, Kosem.
I'll protect you.
I won't let Safiye Sultan make use of this opportunity.
I'm not worried about her. I'm worried about him.
We have to find him.
We need to know what's happening.
Come in.
Mother Sultan.
I followed Halime Sultan.
She left Safiye Sultan's chambers,
but I don't know what they talked about.
That viper is already moving.
Allah, protect my son.
What's going on? What could they do?
Haci Aga?
Halime Sultan tried to get her eldest son Mahmud
to the throne.
That night was a nightmare.
She's always denied it, but we all know it.
Will Halime Sultan try to get Mustafa to the throne?
She doesn't have that power, Safiye Sultan does.
She could take advantage of my son's absence
and make the prince ascend the throne.
Haci Aga, why doesn't the sultan follow the rules?
?
What rules?
?
It's always been done this way.
The sultan must take the prince with him
every time he leaves the city.
It doesn't matter if it's for a day or a year,
the prince must be with him
so that he can't ascend the throne.
What would happen when he comes back?
He'd fight.
Allah forbid it.
Nobody would side with him now, especially the soldiers.
They're loyal to Safiye Sultan.
The prince is here. We won't let that happen.
They won't dare do it.
Haci Aga, take precautions.
I want to know
about Halime Sultan's every step.
And lock the prince in his chambers.
I'm sorry, but if we did that,
wouldn't that be calling their attention?
Haci Aga is right.
They could use it as a pretext.
The prince is too young and innocent.
We shouldn't scare him.
The Celalis are headed to Hamid, and we...
Your Majesty.
Come closer, Zulfikar.
It's time to start our journey, Your Majesty.
We planned to stop at the Cilician Gates.
Okay, we're leaving right away.
Sultan, excuse me,
but you should be somewhere more remote and safe
when we find them.
How could we protect you amid the chaos, Sultan?
You shouldn't worry, Pasha.
I'm responsible for the Sultan's life.
Did you hear that, Nasuh?
You shouldn't worry.
What's that?
Sultan, I'm sorry, I...
What did you do, Iskender?
If that woman knew you burned her lace, she'd be upset.
Your Majesty, I...
Tell me who she is.
It seems that you love her very much, don't you?
I...
I don't know, sir.
It's just someone I saw.
I saw her once on the street and haven't seen her since.
We're leaving.
My lion is very generous.
.
You have more things than any sultana.
That's because Sultan Ahmed has a big heart.
That's right.
And you deserve it for all you've done.
Appreciate it, Kosem.
.
Walk away from vanity.
Others from the harem are waiting for their turn.
I don't want those women to get jealous
and try to hurt you.
Sultana.
Safiye Sultan is waiting for you in her chambers.
She says it's important.
What's wrong, Sultana? Where are we going?
I need to know how serious Safiye Sultan was, that's all.
Are you going to accept it?
Please, don't.
We can't endanger our prince again.
How much longer will you keep up this farce?
We both know you're not sick.
Sadness is a sickness, too.
Worry and desolation break your heart.
Heart?
I doubt you have one.
Come closer.
I'll tell you something important.
Halime came to my chambers.
You should talk to her.
Why would I do that?
Do you know what Halime is planning?
Do you know what she offered to me?
She dared tell me
she won't send us to the Palace of Tears
and she'll treat us with respect.
In exchange for my help
in Mustafa's accession to the throne
while your son isn't here.
That arrogant woman.
Why should I believe you?
Why should I do it?
To you, I'm the evil sultana.
If you don't believe you, go talk to Halime.
She's being watched.
Go see her.
Find out whom she's meeting,
with whom she's negotiating.
You should do that.
Welcome, Sultana.
We've been expecting you.
You were expecting me?
What are you doing here? Where's Safiye Sultan?
I'm sorry, but we haven't heard from Safiye Sultan.
We're here for you.
You wrote that you're worried
for Prince Mustafa's safety
and asked us to protect him.
What are you talking about? Where did you get that?
?
I didn't write anything. I haven't called you.
Sultana, here's the letter you wrote.
Sultana, we have to get out of here.
Let's go.
If you spare the life of a snake, it'll bite you.
I'm innocent, Sultana. It was a trap.
It was Safiye Sultan's doing.
The letter to the soldiers is also fake?
?
It's obvious you wrote it.
You asked for protection for the prince.
I didn't write that letter.
Let's say you're telling the truth.
Then, why did you go to the Incili mansion?
No one forced you to go there.
Dudu Hatun, Safiye Sultana made me an offer.
She said she'd crown my son while the Sultan was gone.
I said no.
I didn't know about those soldiers.
I only know what I see and hear.
.
Sultana...
I'm not lying, I swear.
Dudu Hatun, this is my decision.
She will go to the Old Palace.
.
And those soldiers will be imprisoned.
Don't do it!
Safiye Sultan wants to pit us against each other.
Don't let her deceive you.
First off, we were never allies.
Now go say goodbye to your prince.
.
I won't!
Dudu Hatun, I'm a sultana.
What will you do when the Sultan returns?
I'm sorry, Sultana, but until the Sultan returns
and makes a final decision, you should go
-to the Old Palace. -Don't do this. It's a trap.
.
I can't leave Mustafa here. Sultana!
Halime's fear, envies and dreams are big.
All it took was a small bait.
Now she'll have to answer for them.
Handan Sultan was looking for an excuse to expel
Halime Sultan from the palace.
She has no idea the problems this incident will cause her.
Isn't it a rather harsh punishment, Sultana?
She should be grateful I didn't have her killed.
You know it too. You saw it.
You witness what Halime did while my son fought
for his life.
I'm not saying Halime Sultan is innocent.
I'm sure she had a plan, that's why she went there.
But this incident would benefit Safiye Sultan as well.
The truth should be discovered.
The truth?
Who cares about the truth?
Why not take advantage of such an opportunity?
My sultana, at least wait a while.
Let's see what Safiye Sultan does.
Safiye Sultan wants to win our favor,
but she'll be sent to the Old Palace as well.
No matter what she does, nothing will change that.
Sultana...
Kosem, you're not to get involved in these issues.
And don't ever, ever, question my decisions.
