S1E2.7. To conquer Rhodes. I heard that you were a good dancer. Dance for us, Alexandra! Eng voice

Magnificent Century Season 1 Episode 2 Part 7 Suleiman and Ibrahim recite Muhibbi’s poems and discuss a strategy to conquer Rhodes. Provocation from Mahidevran: I heard that you were a good dancer. Dance for us, Alexandra! Valide sends Hürrem to the dungeons for the first time. You played the violin beautifully last night. I’ve missed it. Hürrem loved it too. She asked about you. - Hürrem? - Alexandra is no more. I named her Hürrem. Hürrem means joyful, cheerful and bright. Very poetic. You gave her a beautiful name, Your Majesty. Hürrem might make me take up writing poems again. It’s time to wake Muhibbi up. Muhibbi’s poems are high literature. Muhibbi says: My friend, I sent my heart out to you. It is impossible for it to come back again. Your eyebrows are like a bow. Whenever you point your arrow at my heart I wouldn’t call myself a man if I didn’t put my chest forward to the head of that arrow. O friend! You have my heart. If you are coming to take my life now I have already given it up for this cause. Even I forgot it, how did you remember? Nice poem. This Muhibbi guy seems like a decent poet, right? Look, look, look. Beg for forgiveness or I’ll take your head! Forgive me, my prince. Spare my life. Father, I beat your soldiers! But you can’t beat me! Come here! Mustafa, run! He will beat you! - Hold it tight! - Good job! Come here! Take this! Come here! Make way! Come here! Guard yourself! Come! Did he exhaust you? Not at all. Mustafa gives us joy and happiness. Come here! I will beat you now! You are cheating! I won! No, I won. Accept the defeat. Fathers don’t cheat. Mustafa, that’s enough for today. We should not keep His Majesty busy. You can take him, he’s been swinging swords for hours. Come on, Mustafa. Go with your mother. You can go, Hatice. Hürrem! Come, Hürrem! There is entertainment. What is she doing there? Watching us from up there like she is the host. She was promoted to the favourites’ wing. Lady Hürrem. Invite her here. But, my sultan, the valide sultan is here. She might say something. Are you trying to tell me what to do, Gülşah? Come to your senses. Go and do what I told you. My ancestor, Sultan Mehmed, besieged Rhodes with 180 ships. He didn’t succeed. Then my grandfather Bayezıt tried. As a result of the Venetians’ plots, the knights of Rhodes captured my Great Uncle Cem. They held him hostage for use against us. My uncle is dead now, but his children are still held there. Are we building 200 galleys now? We have to build 300, or even 400 of them. Egypt is ours. But the Rhodians command the Mediterranean. The earliest we can start this campaign is in spring. Perhaps even later. But even if we can’t capture Rhodes right away it would be good if we start stirring things up from the inside. If you can’t beat them, frustrate them? I am not saying that. Aristotle does. He was the mentor of Alexander the Great. “It is difficult to swallow a big bite. Divide it before eating,“ he said. Divide and conquer. A good policy. Find some Greek people, İbrahim. Mix with the people, sniff around the bazaar. Choose a few men to be sent to Rhodes to trade. They are to open businesses and gain power there. They will open the gates for us when the time comes. Alexandra! I heard that you were a good dancer. Dance for us, Alexandra. Come on. Good job, Alexandra. You are a skilful entertainer. Hürrem. What did you say? My name is Hürrem. Not Alexandra. Sultan Süleyman said so. Don’t be disrespectful, Alexandra. You are disrespectful! Take her. Take her to the dungeons! I don’t want to see this woman! Let me go! Let me go! I am Hürrem! I am Hürrem!
