Summary: 

In Episode 31, we delve deeper into Safir Sultan’s emotional and psychological struggle with the legacy that has been imposed upon him. The episode opens with Safir being released from the police station after his driver takes full responsibility for the drugs found in Safir’s car. While legally cleared, Safir is still burdened by the social stigma and the public perception that he will carry for years to come. As he sits in the car with Farwa, resting his head on her chest, we see a broken man grappling with the weight of the Sultan legacy​(31).
Farwa, trying to comfort him, tells Safir to hold his head high, reminding him that he is Safir Sultan, invincible and undefeatable. She insists that no one can bring him down, attempting to instill pride and strength in him, but Safir’s exhaustion is palpable. He quietly questions whether he can continue living as the powerful, untouchable Safir Sultan. He admits that he feels overwhelmed by the expectations placed upon him, expressing a desire to shed the “Sultan” title and live as an ordinary man​(31).
Safir’s vulnerability is laid bare as he confesses to Farwa that he no longer wants to be the victor, the undefeatable Sultan. He speaks of the relentless pressure to constantly fight, to always be prepared for the next battle, and how he longs for peace. His mother, however, refuses to accept his wishes. She harshly rebukes him, telling him that being a Sultan is not a burden but an honor, and that he must embrace the title with pride. Farwa’s insistence that Safir continue to live up to the Sultan name only deepens his inner conflict​(31).
The episode also flashes back to Safir’s childhood, showing how his mother conditioned him from a young age to believe that weakness and failure were unacceptable. We see a ten-year-old Safir, who was once sensitive and prone to tears, transformed into a hardened young man through his mother’s harsh lessons about power and revenge. She teaches him to never forgive and to always seek vengeance, shaping him into the man he is today​(31).
As the flashback ends, we return to the present, where Safir sits defeated, lamenting that he no longer has the strength to carry the weight of the Sultan legacy. Farwa, however, remains unyielding, pushing Safir to continue fighting, insisting that without the Sultan name, he is nothing. Despite her attempts to bolster his confidence, Safir remains conflicted, unable to reconcile the demands of his legacy with his yearning for peace​(31).
The episode closes with a powerful image of Safir sitting in the back seat of the car, his head resting against the window, as Farwa’s words echo in his mind. He silently repeats to himself, “I am Safir Sultan. I am undefeatable.” But his hollow voice reveals the cracks in his armor. The episode ends with a single tear falling from Safir’s eye, symbolizing his internal struggle with the burden of his family’s name​(31).
