biberli) Its hot pepper and water. Its necessary.7. (siki ba)Tie

Aaaaaaaahhh!
(ne oldu)What happened? Is he dead?(bayildi) He fainted. Hell
wake up before the others are finished.
8. (aam) My boss sent his greetings. He said not to let half of
them die, like last time. He has an order for castrated boys. That
is, customers are already waiting (ulan ben) What! You think I
enjoyiing killing them? Theyre half dead by the time they get
hereLossing a little blood finishes them off(tamam)Okay, boss, dont
get so angryAAAAHHHH! HEEEELP!9. (ben yatma) Im going to bed. Dont

them walk around. If they start to bleed, call me.(Hekim)
Doctor!(galiba) I think these are dead. Im going to take these
other two. This one even openned his eyes. Heturned out to be a
tough thing, the little brat (ne oldu) What happened?10. (diger)
Where are the other two?(onlar) They died, boss. The doctor said to
take it easy on them and let them rest, or they wont make the trip
to Istanbul.
(gtr)Then take them to lie down. Look here, dont let them die.
Stand over them if you have to. Im holding you accountable
(Aln) Here, take this, you filth!
11. Istanbul
(Onu ilk)I never forgot the first day I saw him
(Dnyanin) I thought I was in the center of the world
(deersiz) I thought I was going to be passed around like a piece
of worthless trash but(Allah) May God lead you to believe, Sir, the
trip was very rough. So much of my property died. But this one
turned out to be very strong, I swearjust like you wanted.
12. (yanil) I was wrong.(sen nereye) What are you staring
at!
(bana bak) Look here, Merchant! That boy belongs to me nowto the
palace...to our master. If your hand touches him again, youll be
walking around without it!
13. (kabusla) I guess I had some value in this new life that
started as a nightmare(Dnyann)I was in the center of the world, in
the palace of the leader of the world
(ve burada) and here life meant education. Study without
reprieve
14. ( Allah vergisi) With the quick wits God gave me, I learned
everything easily( aferin) Bravo, Suleyman. I hear you are picking
up Greek quickly, as well as reading Arabic and Persian. Eh, your
penmanship is more more beautiful than mine.
(aman) But teacher, you are too kind.
(Yok) No, no, Its the truth. YOure the best student in the
Eunick School . Im going to recommend that you be employed in the
Sultans Harem.
(Siz nasil) Whatever you think is best, Sir.
15. (Hayatim) I was taking the first steps toward my new
life
(Artik) I was now in the harem of the palace. The home of our
master the Sultan
(Zaman) It was as if time passed in a different way it was a
world of silence
16. (Sessizliin) Silence and beauty
(ama) But there was turbulence in the empireLong live the
Sultan! Long live the Sultan!
17. (Yeni) Our new master, the Sultan was very young. But his
mother would always be by his side
(bu gece) Take care of this business tonight! Tonight (Ferman)
Your word is my command. Have no fear.
(aa) Aga, put a pair of eyes on Kizilca Pasha. Make sure they
watch him carefully. I want to know where he is and what hes doing
every moment. 18. (Ne kadar) I didnt realize at the time what an
important job Id been given
(Akam) Aren t you coming to supper, Suleyman? You didnt come to
prayer either.(Sonra) Later, later
19. (Hey) Hey, Suleyman aga, whats up?(Destur) Watch out, Aga!
What are you doing? (birakin) Let me go! I have to see the Queen
MotherLet me go!(bu) Not now, its impossible20. (Ne oluyor) Whats
happening here? What do you want Aga?
Forgive me, Queen Mother.You told me to follow Kizilca Pasha. I
never let him out of my sight the whole day. A little while ago I
saw him say something to some gypsy assassins,who then went off in
a hurry.
(Gittiler) They left! Which direction did they go, Aga, tell
me!
(u) They went this way, to the princes rooms
21. (Kend) I was afraid of the words that came out of my own
mouth(abuk) Hurry, come with me!
Dont! Dont you believe in God? The wickedness What do you want
from these children?
Shut up and give him to me
22. (vermem) I wont give him to youtake my life but spare
his.Your wish is my command, my lovely
Aaahhh!
Its your turn, my prince. Dont be afraid, we finish our task as
quickly as possible
23. (Destur) Halt!(Hnkarmn) It was an order from the Sultan, my
lady.
24. (Sen) Were you the one who strangled my children? (Ama) But
It was ordered by the masterthe SultanI
(Sen) Was it you who strangled my children?
(Sultanim) Queen Mother, pleaseI was just following orders
(Destur) Halt! Our master, the Sultan!
25. (Hayirdir)Whats wrong, my lady? Are you interferring with my
orders?(Karde)Do your brothers have to die, son?
(Ben) I gave an order, so it must be obeyed. Hasnt this always
been the way with the Ottomans?
(Elbette) Of course it is your right to give this command, son.
But you dont have to bloody your hands with the lives of your
brothers. Let this one live. You know hes not even in line for the
succession.
26. (peki) Okay, this time. But keep him out of my sight. That
man was just obeying my orders. You cant punish the servant obeying
my commands. (peki) So, are you the one that took the life of my
concubine?(ama) ButI
(Benim) Who gave you orders to kill my concubine? Off with his
head!
(Aman)But, Queen Mother
27. (Suleyman)Suleyman Aga , the Queen Mother wants to see you.
(Gel) Come in , Aga.
(Senin) What is your name?
(Suleyman) Suleyman, your servant.
28. (bak) Listen Suleyman Aga, you saved one of my sons. This is
not near enough to repay you for this deed, but I want you to know
how grateful I am.
(Allah) Long life to you, Queen Mother.
( Bak) Now, I need something else from you, Suleyman.
(Emir) Your wish is my command.
(Bizim olan..) We have to keep this child out of his brothers
sight. Ive placed him in a pavilion. He needs to stay inside as
much as possible. I am putting you in charge of his care. I want no
one to enter without my knowledge. The poor child is terrified
(Bastn) As you wish, Queen Mother.
29. (Bylece)That was the beginning of the small princes
confinement and the days of my guardianship.
(ehzadem) Prince, Ive brought your supper
(yalniz) Are you alone? Has anyone followed you?
(Yalnzm) Im alone, my prince, dont worry.
(Dn) I heard footsteps in front of my door last night. I couldnt
sleep for fear they were assassins. Did you hear anything outside?
What are they saying? Did my brother say anything about me?
30. (korku) I saw what living in fear can do to a person (Kim)
Who are they? Did they comefor my head? Make them leave. I dont
want them here.(olur) Thats not posible, prince. Theyve come to
change the bed sheets. Dont concern yourself. Theyll be gone in no
time(Bu) About that time, a wave of fear was washing over the whole
country(Ben)! Arent you ashamed of yawning when Im talking pasha?
Since youre so sleepy, I think Ill grant you eternal sleep. Off
with his head!31. (Istanbul) A fire broke out in Istanbul
(yillarca) the whole empire burned for several years(Nihayet)
The fire is finally out, my master, but the damage is severe. The
people believe that this fire was Gods curse.
( Hakkn ) A curse? Then from here on Im outlawing tabacco and
alcohol. Thatll be two sins the people are kept from. Also, make it
forbidden to walk the streets after dark without a latern. What
business does an honest man have on the streets after dark
anyway?
32. (byle) Thats how the years of days and nights of fear
began
(dur) Hey! Where do you think youre going?(sen) Dont you know
about the decree?(ah) But, Pasha our son is sick, burning with
fever. I was going to the doctor for medicine, just right here,
next door.
(Yapmayin) Dont, have pity! For Gods sake, Im going for
medicineaahhh!
(Bir) Another sitting headpoor man
33. (Suleyman) So, tell me, Suleyman. How is my son? Does he
still live in fear?(Saglg) Thank God he has his health, but hes
still very nervous.
(neyse) Oh well, with Gods help it will pass. I actually bid you
come for another reason.
(Biliyorsun) You know Im pleased with you. You saved my son and
now protect him.
(emredin) Just command me, Queen Mother. (vazi) Your wish is my
command.(Hah) Thats just itYour duty my become heavier. Are you
ready?
(Elimin) With all the strength of my hand and wisdom of my
brain, I am yours to command, Queen Mother.
34. (Bu Kon) I learned the meaning of this conversation the next
day
(Aam) Eunick, you are summoned to the stateroom.
((Hayir) God-willing, theres nothing wrong. Heaven help us
(lme) I thought I was walking to my deathmy mind confused with
what prayers were most appropriate
35. (Suleyman) Suleyman Aga(Senin) Ive been hearing things about
you(Emredin) Your wish is my command, my Sultan.
(zel) Particularly the things the Queen Mother says. You are the
most clever and hard working eunick in the harem, is that
so?(ltifat) Im gifted with flattery, my Sultan. (Gre) Well see if
theyve exaggerated your talents or if its trueYou are now Head
Eunick in charge of the harem. Its serious business to be in charge
of my harem. Theres no room for error. Lets see how good you really
are36. (Hayatmn) It was the chance of a lifetime
(biraz) I soon saw the dangers involved.
(artik) I was the Head Eunick of the Sultans harem
(doduu) I, whod forgotten the name of the land of his birth
37. (kck) a little eunick who came to the palace as a slave
(padi)I was the official guardian of my master the Sultans
harem.
(En mahrem) Privy to the most private
(ah, bu) Oh, the girlsprisoners behind high walls, young birds
that never grew up
38. (yed) The most beautiful girls from every corner of the
worldall my responsibility(bu) This Austrian girl is fifteen years
old and very healthy
(ou) Though their playfulness often caressed my spirit
(ou) feeling my power over them gave me more pleasure.
39. (kim) No matter what anyone says, this is what it is to be
in commanda Eunicks command.(ne olur) Please forgive me, my masterI
didnt do it on purpose((ancak) Then one morning, something happened
no one expected.(aam) Master, hurry!(Valide) The Queen Mother wants
you right away.(ne) What happened?40. (Sultan) Queen Mother, you
called?(Siz) Out with youeveryone out!(Dinle) Listen to me AgaWhat
I have to say to you is very important. (kulam) My ears are all
yours.(Padiah) My son, the Sultan, met his maker last night.(Aman)
Oh my God! The Sultanhow?41. (Nasl)Dont worry about how. His days
on earth were finished. What matters is what happens now. You know,
the throne cant remain empty. I have no grandchildren yet, so my
young son will take it.(Allah) May God preserve him.(ben) In order
to make sure this happens, I took action early this morning. The
Ottoman Empire cannot remain without its Sultan. But my son wont
open the door for the pashas who went to get him. Hes afraid they
intend to assasinate him.(Dinle) Listen to me, Aga. My son must be
convinced and take the throne as soon as possible. If this
situation continues, we will be unable to prevent gossip that he is
not in his right mind. Convincing him must fall to you. He will
believe you.
42. (ehzadem) My prince, its me Suleyman. Open the door. I have
news for you.(Yalnz) Are you alone, Suleyman? Theyve been trying to
get in since early this morning.(kimse) Im alone. Open
(Cellat) Theres no assassin, Prince, dont worry. I have news for
you.(ne) What news?
43. (Padi) Unfortunately, your brother the Sultan died last
night. The Ottoman throne is yours. Im here to take you to the
ceremony that will make you Sultan.
(yalan) Lies ! Youre here to take me to be strangled! Youre
lying to make me leave this place! Get out! This morning they told
me the same lies...
(vallahi) I swear my words are true, my prince. The Queen Mother
has sent me.
(Yalan)Lies! Why should my brother dieHes young and healthy. May
he have long life.
44. (takdir-) Its Gods will. Come to the garden with me and
youlll see the thone thats being prepared for the ceremony.
(Buyrun) Here, take this sword. If I lie you can have my
life.
(Bana) Show me my brothers body!
45. (glum) My sonWhat are you doing?
(Sen) Stay out of ituncover his face, I want to see it. (Ah) Oh,
my brother
(Padi) Long live the Sultan!Long live the Sultan!
46. (ben) So Im really sultan now? (Oldunuz) You are.May God
give you long life.
(Hmmmm) HmmmmWhich one of you should I have strangled first?
(Iste) So the young man who had lived in fear for years, who had
waited with his ear at the door was Sultan of the vast Empire
(Ama) But living in fear for so many years changes a person.
(Sana) I have nothing against you, Pasha. Let it be understood,
I just want to watch you die.
47. (Genc)Now the death the young sultan had waited for years
for
(imdi) was visited on others just for his pleasure.
(aferin) BravoI enjoyed your performance
(Acaba) I wonder what your last breath will be like?48. (Demek)
So thats what it isvery effective.
(Bu arada) About that time the Queen Mother again wanted me to
do something.
(Bak) Listen Aga, you know my last son had no offspring.
(maalesef) Unfortunately, Queen Mother.
(Bu) This time we need to act quickly.
(senin) You understand , this job falls to you.
(Baim) A job I place before all others, my queen.
49. (Kutlu) A big part of insuring the continuance of the
celebrated dynasty fell to me.(Akama) Make her ready for
tonight...
50. (ama) But something went wrong(Kimseyi) I told you I dont
want anyone. Im sleepy!(ne) Sadly, our Sultan wasnt interested in
any of our beauties(Beni) Leave me alone, Im busy51. (Bu en) Our
last amulet didnt do any good? (maalesef) Unfortunately. The girl I
sent last night waited all night at the foot of his bed.The Sultan
never touched her.
(Bu durum) The girls in the harem talked amongst themselves.
(Ne) What are you talking about?(Hi) Nothing important. We were
discussing the new charcoal the jewish woman brought for us to put
around our eyes.
52. (Bu kzlar) But I knew those girls like the palm of my handI
knew they were lying and what they were thinking (ama) There was
one amongst them named Safiye(ilk) At first I didnt pay her much
attention.(aam) Aga, the two older sisters of this Circassian girl
had five sons a piece. Its in the family. You know I never lie.53.
(nce) Like the others, she was very sad when she got here.(Al) When
she got used to her new environment, she started to wait to be sent
to the Sultan(Hep) And waited(Ama) But every long wait is not met
with disappointment.54. (kz..)When embers are stirred flames will
leap (ama) But this is the harem(Klang!) CRASH!(ve burada) And
nothing happens here without me finding out(nce) I thought it was a
mouse. But then I looked in the door to the storeroom55. (Aksam)
Tonight, after supper, tell Safiye to come to me.
(Beni)You called for me, Aga.
(Siz) The rest of you, leave
(Safiye) Do you know how much water is carried to our kitchens
everyday?
56. (Su mu) Water? I dont knowI know it comes in huge containers
in wagons everyday, but I never counted them
(peki) Okay, how much fire do you think that water can
extinguish?
(Ates) Fire, sir?
(Ates) Yes, firefor example, the fire inside a persons body
(Avu) I love the way they flutter in the palm of my hand.
(yoksa) Or should I ask one of the watercarriers?
(Aam) Aga, sir, Im
57. (ama) But theres enough water to put out all fire, right
outside of this window, Safiye! The waters of the Bosphorus is
enough to putout all such fire, forever, do you understand
that?
(Aam) Aga, let me be the slave of your servantsdont kill meI was
foolish. I listened to the wicked one. Ill do whatever you ask. I
beg of youplease dont throw me into the sea.
(ne)Whatever I want?
(ne) Whatever you want
58. (ama) But Aga.
(Hadm) Its thought that castrated men have no feelings of
desire. They dont know how mistaken they are
(tpk) They have no idea what a eunick can do
(aahhh) AAAHHHAGAAAAOOOHHH!
59. (Aam) But, sir, if someone sees( Akama) Come to my room
tonightuntil then, keep your ears open. I want to know what the
girls talk aboutDont forget, after supperSo I had another faithful
pair of eyes and ears in the harem.60. (ona) After the pleasure we
shared, I knew she would never forsake me, but always be my extra
eyes and ears
(Benim) My pleasure had just begun, but my masters problem
continued.
(Ama) What was it they said? Nothing lasts forever.
(sen) You! You come here!
61. (gir) Get inside!
(Aahh) Oh master, stopAayyy! My master
(Haaa) Whats going on?
62. (Suleyman) Suleyman Eunick, Im sorry to wake you, but
somethings happened to the sultan. You need to come(Hayr...)God
protect usWhat is it? Is he sick?(Yok) Its nothing like that it
would be best if you come look(hah)Oh, are you here Aga? Bring me
another girl.(Anlamadim) I dont understand, a girl? Another
girl?(Sen) Are you in charge of the harem or not? I want you to
bring me a girl from the harem. What is it that you dont
understand?63. (derhal) Right away, my sultan.
(nerede) Where have you been, Aga? Its almost morning.
(Aaahhh) AaahhhOoohhh!
64. (Suleyman) Suleyman Aga! (Sen) You wait here
(aahh) Aaahhhooohhh!
(Suleyman) Suleyman! Who is that beside you?
65. )Ite)Thats how everything changed overnight.
(Bunca)All his years of silence were broken in one night, in a
very noisy manner
(Aaahhh) Aaahhhooohhh!
66. (Hunkar)Our Sultan will not be attending the meeting. Hes
busy with other things. He sent word for you not to wait.
(Aaahhh) Aaahhhooohhh!
(bu) How many meetings have been canceled in this way,
Pasha?
(Haremin) The atmosphere in the harem began to change
67. (goruntusu) and the look of it(Tam) Just as we were geting
used to the situation(Ben) You called, my Sultan.(hah) Come
Suleyman, comeTheres something I want from you(Emir)Consider it
done, my master.(bu) The girls in the harem are sowell, soboney.
Theyre all so skinny and boney looking. Find me a rounder, more
rotund woman.(Siz) As you wish, my Sultan.68. (benim) So I began
another search
(Ama) But it wasnt easy
(Boyle) Not like that. Fatter, fleshier
(daha) More! I want her fatterBring me the fattest woman in the
empire!
69. (bu) Could anything in the land be more important than the
Sultans wishes?
(Hunkarim) My Sultan, as you commanded
70. (Guzel) Beautiful, very lovelyThe rest of you, get out(
artik) So night after night our Sultan lay happily in the massive
folds of that womans body(haremdek) The strange storm within the
harem ended as quickly as it began.71. (yeniden) Some of the girls
even tried to get fat, so theyd once again havea chance of giving
birth to a prince.
(ama) But there was only one place theSultan was happy
(Bu) This isnt good Aga, not good at all. A giantess of a woman
is here and lodged herself in the center of this palace. The Sultan
has eyes for no one else. The soldiers and public officials have
all begun to talk. Im afraid a bad wind is coming, Aga, very
bad
72. (Koskoca) Of course, our Queen Mother, mother of two
sultans, wasnt mistaken(bir) One day the form that evil would take
took shape(Haydi) Hurry, you go Safiye. Come again tonight.(angir)
CRASH!
73. (tovbe) Forgive me, forgive me Godwhere is it?
(En) My most precious treasure disappeared before my eyes.
(Buyur) As you ordered, my masterThe stalk of a newly castrated
boy...
(bir) For years I never took it off. We never know when God
might call us to his side
(ve) And everyone know s bodies missing any part God gave us,
are not allowed in heaven.
74. (ana) But one day I lost it again. No mater how I searched
for it, I couldnt find it(En) I had to find a new one as soon as
possible. (Kleciye) Get word to the slave driver. He must come to
the palace and see me at once.(ama) But what was going to happen
cant be stopped(bre) You men of no conscience! Let me go! I order
you!75. Ill have your heads for this! I swear, Ill have your
heads.
(buras) This is my palace. Has none of you, whove eaten my
bread, a conscience?
(Paa) Pasha, pasha, Ill have your life! Ill have you all
impaled!
76. The daydream of that day seemed more like a
nightmare(Hepinizi) Ill have your skin! All of you!(Neler) I didnt
understand what was going on. I started running with no idea where
I was going.(aam) Aga, whats happening?(Hnk) Where is our
Sultan?77. (bilmiyorum) I donTt know. Leave me. Everyone to her
room and dont come out
(Neler) There was only one way to find out the truth
(Sultan) My queen mother the way theyre treating the Sultan is
breaking my heart.
78. (Bak) Listen AgaUntil today the foundation of the Ottoman
Empire has risen on the severed heads of those who lived outside of
religious law. May God treat my son the Sultan in whatever way he
sees fit.
(En) One of my greatest talents was to feel which way the wind
blew.
(Hakk) You have right on your side, Queen Mother. Whatever
happens will be for the best.
79. (Etrafta) Dont let unrest spread throughout the palace, Aga.
TheJanissaries and the people want to overthrow the government. The
Prime Minister has fled. The troops will tear him to bits when they
find him. The infidels are at the mouth of the Strait of
Dardanelles.
(Devlet) The rule of the Ottoman Empire is going through
troubled times. The property, honor and life of my son are safe.
Dont let doubt enter your heart. Calm the people of the palace. You
are once again in charge of making sure my son, the Sultan, gets
his meals regularly. My eyes will be on you
( Emriniz) You wish is my command.
80. (Dmemek) It was all I could do to keep from falling downSo,
the Queen Mother was behind everything(Aam) Aga(Safiye) Safiye, is
it you? You scared me, girl(Aam) Aga, Ive heard terrible things81.
(Ne gibi) Like what?(Dedi) I heard the girls gossiping. They say it
was the Queen Mother behind the Sultans arrest.(Ah,gzelim) Ah my
pretty, dont askUnfortunately, its not gossip, but the truth. May
God protect our last days on this earth.(bu) This new situation
affected some more than others(Sultanim) Queen MotherIm honored82.
(Demek) So , your superiority rests on obesity (Bu) Today you will
bring this woman food, all day, without stop. She will eat
constantly. If she stops you will force her. If you have to, you
will shove it down her throat. If she stops, if she rests, cut off
her head ((ama) But, Queen MotherI
83. (Ben) I didnt see her with my own eyes, but they say she
barely made it until the morning of the third day(su) watera little
water(Benim) My days became more difficult(bana) Gve it to me. You
go back to the kitchen84. (Efendim) Sir, its I. SuleymanIve brought
food.
(Sen) Is it you, Aga.
(Benim) Its me master, your servant Suleyman.
(Neler) Whats happening, Aga? Why am I ahere? Who betrayed me in
this way, I want to know?
(Efendim) Sir, dont concern yourself. Ive spoken to your mother.
Shes working night and day for your good.
85. (Validem)The Queen Motherdoes she know what a state Im
in?(Evet)Yes, master, shes the one who ordered me to see after you
food (ste) It was then that he understood the situation
completely((Hndar) My masteris something wrong?...Master?
(Git) Go, Aga,goleave me alone
(Ayni) He began to see the same dream again, or the same
nightmare
(Halk) The say the civil unrest has started to die back. The
soldiers are beginning to see the evil of their ways. We are almost
over the worst of it, with Gods help, my master
86. (yine) once again, a prisoner in the palace
(Valideniz) I talked to the Queen Mother again today. All her
prayers are with you. Shes working to get you out very soon
(yine) once again Im bringing him news and nourishment.
(BBgn) Today the ministers brought miraculous news.
87. (Ve) And this time there was no unnecessary wait
(Bismi) Blessings, my Sultan
(Iste) Now, we had a new Sultan
(Saltanat) The Sultanate has fallen to your son, my master
88. (Efendimiz) Sr, what is it?
(Ve) And that horrible idea came to my mind. I told my master
what my thoughts of the day before had been.
(Hnkar) Master, I know another way to get your throne back
(Ne?) What? What are you talking about?
89. (Dn) I thought about it all last night until morning. I have
an idea(Laf) Quit wasting words and tell me what you have in mind
(Efendim) Sir, except you and your sons, there is no one else of
Ottoman blood alive. If your sonsthat is, if you are the only one
alive(O sessiz) His silence seemed to last a whole day90. (p) Kiss
my hand!
(Hunkarim) Master?
( p) Kiss my hand, you dog!
(Aahh) Aahhh..sir
(Bak) Listen to me, Aga!
91. (Sen) Are you telling me to kill my own sons? You think it
would be so easy for me , dont you? I, who have taken the lives of
so many, what would the lives of three, four, five smalll children
mean?(sen) Have you ever seen a young child strangled to death,
Aga? How their small feet thrash around in the air? How their young
eyes that dont even know whats happening, bulge out of their tiny
faces.
(taht)People cant sacrifice their own children, even for a
throne, AgaI know now theres no way to save me. Im finished with
this life anyway92. (Ve) And then he did something that Ive been
thinking about until this morning(sana) I beg of you, Aga. Dont let
anything happen to my children(Beni) Do you hear me, Aga? Dont
dare(ben) Oh God, what have I said? How could I ever suggest such a
thing?93. (Akam) Wont you have supper, Aga?(Allah) God, you have no
servants without sin. Please forgive me mine.94. (aam)
