01:21:32,397[br]...my sufferings were great,[br]your Holiness.[br][br]557[br]01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:36,673[br]I no longer knew myself.[br][br]558[br]01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:40,196[br]I was surrounded by envy, betrayal...[br][br]559[br]01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,836[br]...and ingratitude.[br][br]560[br]01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:51,993[br]I learned that hypocrisy wears[br]a guise of respect and fidelity.[br][br]561[br]01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:57,149[br]I learned this too late.[br][br]562[br]01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:00,596[br]I let myself be deceived.[br][br]563[br]01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:04,190[br]Life has dealt me such severe blows...[br][br]564[br]01:22:04,440 --> 01:22:08,069[br]...that my skin is tough as leather.[br][br]565[br]01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:11,989[br]For this reason, I choose to[br]divert my poison to the palace...[br][br]566[br]01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:16,119[br]...and the milk of my kindness[br]to the general public.[br][br]567[br]01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:23,357[br]But there have been times[br]when I've been consumed by rage.[br][br]568[br]01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:27,109[br]I allowed myself to be[br]overcome with hatred.[br][br]569[br]01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:34,635[br]Later, I repent of[br]my words and actions.[br][br]570[br]01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:40,997[br]But -[br][br]571[br]01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:44,948[br]You assumed great responsibilities[br]at a tender age, I know.[br][br]572[br]01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:50,990[br]Your suffering has been great.[br]Such is the human condition.[br][br]573[br]01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:54,636[br]Praise God, you have endured.[br][br]574[br]01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,832[br]When you feel remorse, pray.[br][br]575[br]01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:01,794[br]It will relieve you.[br]Perform two verses of prayers.[br][br]576[br]01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:08,035[br]Follow the ways of[br]His Holiness Mahmud Hudai.[br][br]577[br]01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,757[br]He and Sultan Ahmed[br]were like father and son.[br][br]578[br]01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:16,799[br]I'll do what you say.[br][br]579[br]01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:19,913[br]I'll do it...[br][br]580[br]01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,549[br]...starting tomorrow.[br][br]581[br]01:23:57,440 --> 01:24:00,238[br]Greetings, Halil Agha.[br][br]582[br]01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,238[br]Greetings, Behram Agha.[br][br]583[br]01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:08,591[br]Remember the promise[br]you gave Grandmother Sultana.[br][br]584[br]01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:13,679[br]Grandmother Sultana is our benefactress.[br][br]585[br]01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:17,190[br]If this is what she wants,[br]there must be a reason.[br][br]586[br]01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:22,751[br]Meet at the garden gate[br]when everyone is gone.[br][br]587[br]01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:27,118[br]Ali Agha will leave the door unlocked.[br][br]588[br]01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:32,031[br]He will arm his men and wait.[br][br]589[br]01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:36,392[br]The state is in the hands of a boy.[br][br]590[br]01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:40,991[br]Mehmed Khan and his mother[br]know nothing of affairs of state.[br][br]591[br]01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:46,030[br]We must show them who has[br]the strength and power.[br][br]592[br]01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:51,715[br]- Stand by at dusk.[br]- At your command, my Sultana.[br][br]593[br]01:25:05,440 --> 01:25:08,318[br]Do you remember the day[br]I saved you from...[br][br]594[br]01:25:08,480 --> 01:25:12,473[br]...the executioner, Üveys Agha?[br]Oh what a day![br][br]595[br]01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:17,390[br]How could I forget, my Sultana![br]I've never forgotten![br][br]596[br]01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:21,189[br]Every day I pray to God[br]to give me the opportunity...[br][br]597[br]01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:24,676[br]...to repay my debt.[br][br]598[br]01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:28,793[br]Well, your prayers[br]have been answered, Agha.[br][br]599[br]01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:33,636[br]The opportunity[br]to repay your debt has arisen.[br][br]600[br]01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,312[br]This is the day![br][br]601[br]01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:42,114[br]At your command, my Sultan.[br]My life belongs to you.[br][br]602[br]01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:50,878[br]Take this.[br][br]603[br]01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:58,079[br]After dusk, pour it into the[br]sherbet from the Sultan's kitchen.[br][br]604[br]01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,671[br]Mehmed Khan's sherbet?[br][br]605[br]01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,990[br]Down with his reign![br][br]606[br]01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:08,550[br]He's so busy playing soldier,[br]when can he find time to rule?[br][br]607[br]01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,752[br]The empire is in ruins[br]and he doesn't even realize it![br][br]608[br]01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,959[br]And his mother couldn't care less.[br][br]609[br]01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:21,276[br]Praise be to God,[br]the Empire is not without a head.[br][br]610[br]01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,993[br]Listen, Agha. The army[br]has made its decision.[br][br]611[br]01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:32,113[br]And I have assented.[br][br]612[br]01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:37,434[br]Until my son Murad came of age,[br]I governed the Empire for ten years.[br][br]613[br]01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:42,276[br]I did not do that in order for[br]the Ottoman Empire...[br][br]614[br]01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:47,548[br]...to land in the hands of a child.[br][br]615[br]01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:53,634[br]We have reached agreement[br]and made our decision.[br][br]616[br]01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:56,838[br]We are blameless.[br][br]617[br]01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:04,872[br]A quarter measure[br]should be sufficient.[br][br]618[br]01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:12,789[br]But use half, just in case.[br][br]619[br]01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,959[br]My Sultana, of course you know best.[br][br]620[br]01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,877[br]Your wish is my command.[br][br]621[br]01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:21,957[br]But the Sultan does not[br]always drink sherbet.[br][br]622[br]01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,588[br]What if he doesn't want it?[br][br]623[br]01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:27,638[br]If he doesn't, he won't drink it.[br][br]624[br]01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,032[br]But if he does, give it to him.[br]Off with you.[br][br]625[br]01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:54,199[br]Have you talked to the Aghas?[br]Have measures been taken?[br][br]626[br]01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:00,630[br]Everything is ready, my Sultana.[br][br]627[br]01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:04,435[br]You've also talked to[br]Royal Quartermaster Ali Agha.[br][br]628[br]01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:09,839[br]He said not to worry.[br]Your wish is his command.[br][br]629[br]01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:13,913[br]And I talked to Head[br]Janissary Halil Agha.[br][br]630[br]01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:17,629[br]Everything is ready.[br]After sunset-[br][br]631[br]01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:48,917[br]I leave nothing to chance, Behram.[br][br]632[br]01:28:49,440 --> 01:28:55,231[br]If he survives Üveys' poison[br]he'll be caught in the army's net.[br][br]633[br]01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:59,633[br]There is no turning back.[br][br]634[br]01:28:59,920 --> 01:29:04,118[br]My Sultana...[br]...your garments are ready[br][br]635[br]01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,511[br]for the accession ceremony.[br][br]636[br]01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,395[br]I can't do it![br][br]637[br]01:30:04,480 --> 01:30:06,675[br]I must see the Sultana.[br][br]638[br]01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:08,108[br]What is it?[br][br]639[br]01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:11,437[br]It's private.[br]I must speak in person.[br][br]640[br]01:30:24,440 --> 01:30:26,476[br]This is no time[br]to make a petition.[br][br]641[br]01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:31,037[br]That's not it, Agha.[br]It's urgent![br][br]642[br]01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,239[br]Okay, follow me.[br][br]643[br]01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:43,312[br]I've forgotten how many[br]bloodstained garments I've donned.[br][br]644[br]01:30:43,480 --> 01:30:46,472[br]May this be the last time.[br][br]645[br]01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:49,240[br]Ahmed, you shouldn't have left me.[br][br]646[br]01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,559[br]It was you who said we are nothing[br]unless we hold the reins of power.[br][br]647[br]01:30:53,800 --> 01:31:00,069[br]For years I have endured[br]your mother, Mahfiruz, our sons.[br][br]648[br]01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:03,357[br]It was I who saved Ibrahim from[br]Murad[br][br]649[br]01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:06,358[br]and installed him on the throne.[br][br]650[br]01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:10,035[br]And it is was I who drove him[br]into the clutches of Kara Ali.[br][br]651[br]01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:13,038[br]My son's blood is on my hands.[br][br]652[br]01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:15,395[br]And now, Turhan obstructs me.[br][br]653[br]01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,068[br]I myself chose that foolish girl[br][br]654[br]01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:21,676[br]to amuse my son, lbrahim.[br][br]655[br]01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:27,159[br]I imagined she would[br]sit quietly.[br][br]656[br]01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:30,630[br]But she's revealed as a snake![br][br]657[br]01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:39,874[br]So, she seeks to poison Sultan Mehmed.[br][br]658[br]01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:43,914[br]Have I heard you correctly?[br][br]659[br]01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,117[br]I passed on what I heard,[br]my Sultana.[br][br]660[br]01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:51,434[br]Grandmother Sultana seeks to[br]take the life of our sultan.[br][br]661[br]01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,279[br]On her orders, the Janissaries...[br][br]662[br]01:31:55,440 --> 01:31:59,194[br]...will enter the palace after sunset.[br][br]663[br]01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:04,520[br]I tell you so you can make provisions.[br][br]664[br]01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:17,308[br]Have Royal Guardian Reyhan and[br]Ismail Agha come immediately.[br][br]665[br]01:32:17,480 --> 01:32:20,711[br]At your command, my Sultana.[br][br]666[br]01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:26,791[br]You spoke of taking measures.[br][br]667[br]01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:28,916[br]You were right.[br][br]668[br]01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:33,398[br]A person who betrays the hand[br]that feeds is capable of anything.[br][br]669[br]01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:39,915[br]My Sultan, I beg you.[br][br]670[br]01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:45,435[br]You misunderstand me.[br][br]671[br]01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:48,712[br]Your fears are groundless.[br][br]672[br]01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:52,350[br]All measures are complete.[br][br]673[br]01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:54,551[br]You're right.[br][br]674[br]01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:57,756[br]The time has come.[br][br]675[br]01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:01,356[br]I'll perform my prayers in the[br]quarters of the aghas.[br][br]676[br]01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:05,109[br]Then I'll let the Janissaries[br]into the palace by the garden gate.[br][br]677[br]01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:10,437[br]Don't worry.[br][br]678[br]01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:23,389[br]What's keeping that girl?[br][br]679[br]01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:27,196[br]It's time to take up arms, aghas.[br][br]680[br]01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:31,517[br]First, we must take[br]Sultan Mehmed to a safe place.[br][br]681[br]01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:35,233[br]Eyup is a secure area.[br][br]682[br]01:33:35,480 --> 01:33:39,268[br]Then we'll spread word[br]in the halberdiers' barracks...[br][br]683[br]01:33:39,480 --> 01:33:42,517[br]...of Grandmother Sultana's schemes.[br][br]684[br]01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,875[br]We'll ask if they'll stand by[br]as the Sultan's life is threatened.[br][br]685[br]01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:48,595[br]I know all the chiefs[br]of the Janissary corps.[br][br]686[br]01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:52,912[br]Leave it to me to select and arm[br]a few of them.[br][br]687[br]01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:56,910[br]Suleyman and I will ensure[br]the protection of our Sultan.[br][br]688[br]01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,310[br]We won't allow anyone to touch him.[br][br]689[br]01:33:59,480 --> 01:34:02,278[br]We'll also post guards in the area.[br][br]690[br]01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:07,110[br]They'll be taking action[br]right after prayers.[br][br]691[br]01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,511[br]We must act before[br]the Janissaries are at the door.[br][br]692[br]01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:16,954[br]We must put a stop[br]to Grandmother Sultana.[br][br]693[br]01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:18,991[br]Tonight![br][br]694[br]01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:26,798[br]Listen Agha, if the soldiers[br]come and find the door locked[br][br]695[br]01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:28,956[br]everything will go wrong.[br][br]696[br]01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:31,475[br]Zeynel will open the door, Agha.[br][br]697[br]01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:34,318[br]When you get inside...[br][br]698[br]01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,398[br]...don't get confused and lose[br]your sense of direction...[br][br]699[br]01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,273[br]I'll wait for the soldiers.[br][br]700[br]01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:42,994[br]Don't worry Agha.[br]There'll be no confusion.[br][br]701[br]01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:45,435[br]We'll follow the path you described[br][br]702[br]01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:49,109[br]and find the apartment[br]of the Mother Sultana.[br][br]703[br]01:35:09,440 --> 01:35:13,035[br]The Mother Sultan[br]sends her regards, Agha.[br][br]704[br]01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:16,158[br]The Grandmother has attempted[br]to take the life of the Sultan.[br][br]705[br]01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,759[br]She tried to break the established order.[br][br]706[br]01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:24,037[br]It is therefore necessary[br]to end her life.[br][br]707[br]01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:28,910[br]The Mother Sultana's wish is[br]is our
