Original subtitles

He's coming, gather up.

Salaam Alaikum.

Alaikum Salaam.

Sit.

What is it?

We caught him selling.

Didn't I say no drugs would come in here?

You did.

But the stuff belongs to Kabzımal, and he says I have sell it.

And I said you won't sell it, damn it.

Brother.

Open your mouth.

Brother.

Open your damn mouth.

Brother.

Open!

Water.

Swallow.

Swallow it, damn it.

After six months in prison

Eşref was still Eşref.

Every poor soul who heard he was coming to that prison

celebrated like it was a holiday.

Of course, there were those who mourned too.

He knew everyone was hurt by him.

Gürdal

Faruk

Müslüm.

They were all angry.

But most of all, Nisan.

Ever since that day Eşref

said he went to Rüya.

Nisan lived like a bird with a broken wing.

Bless your hands. Thanks so much.

Thank you.

Sis,

you look so beautiful.

Did you get a chance to look at the interview questions?

Yeah, I did.

Like, how did you get into music?

What does it mean to you?

By the way, there are questions about your love life too.

Like…

is there someone in your life?

Do you have a love you can't forget? Stuff like that.

Any news, Afra?

What are you gonna do, sis?

Just let it go already. That chapter's closed. Please.

Come on!

You're already lying down before you even get--

Do I really have to keep putting this in my mouth?

Guys… no dragging the play out.

You've got talent,

but no pressing.

No dribbling past players.

Your men in the first zone are set.

Short passes, pressing… …tiki taka, tiki taka… that's it.

Come on. Let's go.

Together, together.

Good job. Nice.

Keep passing. Talk, talk.

Brother Gürdal was consoling himself like this.

Eşref, who had walked every path with him for years… was gone.

Faruk finally found the time to write the novel

he'd been building in his head for years.

-Hello. -Hi.

I'm looking for a beautiful love story.

But it has to end happily.

Happy-ending love stories don't sell well, ma'am.

But the sad ones really upset me.

If it doesn't hurt, no one remembers it,

but I think you should try another bookstore.

We don't carry love stories with happy endings, unfortunately.

Here you go.

How much is it, son?

This one's on me.

Come on, sweetheart, really?

Anyway, may God bless you, dear.

Thank you.

-Take care. -Thanks.

Müslüm.

You'll sink like this.

You don't take money from anyone. This won't work like that.

Boy, don't give me advice with legs that short.

Müslüm was trying to earn an honest living,

and get his father's blessing.

He was trying to change his life, but

he couldn't change his nature.

Guys.

Play that ball for each other, boys.

For each other.

Play to have fun.

Look, helping each other is the most important thing.

You've got to help.

Cover your teammate's gaps.

He gets tired? You run harder!

But never, ever leave your teammate behind.

It's not about being a hero, son.

Don't forget that. You know what it's about?

It's about creating heroes.

Got it? That's the point.

-Are we clear? -Crystal.

Alright, hit the showers.

Good job, proud of you.

Go on now.

-Hope you're alright, kids. -Thanks Irmak.

Let me swing around.

What happened?

No one hires me when they hear my name.

They've blacklisted me everywhere.

I'm so fed up, I just want to work.

Girl, thank God for the kids. I just keep busy with them here.

-Brother. -Hm?

What do you think will happen with Eşref's trial?

Ah, thanks for the reminder.

I'm starving too.

-Let's go. -Brother!

Ah, Irmak, don't say Eşref to me. I don't want to hear it.

-Come on, don't be ridiculous. -Irmak!

Are you gonna drag this out? No, if not, I have something important to say.

Don't drag it out.

So you're just gonna give up on him that easily?

Girl, what are you even saying? What are you talking about? Give up?

Who gave up on who?

Didn't we go to that man despite everything?

Didn't he grab our hands right there?

6 MONTHS AGO

Sit down.

Eşref,

are you okay?

-Do you need anything? -No.

-Why are you here? -Eşref, you never called.

We couldn't reach you either.

We came to see if you're okay.

Your friends are in my hands.

I brought in a special team.

Let the Gürdal and the others go, Kadir.

In exchange for what?

Fine, I'm leaving this place.

I'm getting the hell out of here.

How can I trust you?

Don't confuse me with yourself, damn it.

Eşref Tek never breaks a promise.

I'm fine

you've seen it

now go and don't come back.

I'm done.

What are we supposed to do?

Figure it out yourselves.

I left you enough money.

In the safe house in Sapanca.

Take that money,

and build yourselves a new life.

What the hell are you saying to me?

What?

What money are you even talking about?

Are we your hired guns now, huh?

Fuck your money, and whoever walked the road with you!

What are you even saying?

-Are you not hearing this? -I've said my final word.

Final word? What final word?

Where are you going, Eşref?

Look at what we've done for you…

-Brother. -Kids!

-What kids? -Stop!

Eşref! Why am I yelling, why?

Don't throw it!

Oh, for the love of God!

Irmak!

There's no more Eşref.

Got it?

You'll forget. We'll all forget.

Whoever left us

we'll leave them too.

Let's head inside. Let's not keep Kadir waiting.

-Or there'll be trouble again. -Go ahead, gentlemen.

Go head Sungur.

Kadir had gotten everything he wanted.

He was now the head of the Orphans.

Stronger, richer,

and more ruthless.

He had it all.

Except the respect he craved.

Come here. Come on, let me see.

Welcome! Take your seats.

You had us called in.

Exactly.

Because I've got things to say.

You know that.

I've come a long, hard road.

Yakup Baba knew I was the one who deserved this legacy the most.

But you…

…never understood my greatness.

You didn't get it, but

I want the next generation to know it.

How does it look?

What's so funny?

-Is it that hilarious? -Brother, I swear I didn't mean it.

What brother?

You'll call me Baba.

Did I amuse you that much?

Joy? You think I brought joy?

Tell me. Let us laugh too.

Sorry, boss.

I didn't mean to disrespect you.

Respect…

Respect is a big deal.

People respect their elders.

That's how it is in our world.

I slipped up just for a moment.

Sorry.

It happens.

Don't beat yourself up.

But don't forget this

if you laugh too much something bad always follows.

So?

How does it look?

It's perfect, right?

It's perfect.

This guy's really losing his mind.

Really, Sadık, I don't know what we'll do.

Kabzımal wants to talk to you.

Hello?

Eşref Tek.

Speaking.

Alright.

Brother, I heard you're not following the rules in prison.

I don't follow rules.

I make the rules.

Well, well.

Is that so?

Eşref.

There's just one small difference between us.

You're inside, I'm outside.

And Miss Nisan is outside too.

So?

What the hell are you saying?

What am I saying? Stay calm, stay calm.

If you don't…

I'll stab you first.

Then I'll take Miss Nisan

make her my woman.

Kabzımal, was it?

Exactly, exactly.

I'm killing you today.

Is that so?

We'll see who dies…

Soon enough.

Take that.

Eşref isn't keeping calm here. He's stirred things up again.

But this time, he hit a solid wall.

Who is it?

A drug lord named Kabzımal.

They won't keep him here long.

Either he gets transferred, or Eşref ends up dead.

We'll handle whatever comes.

Keep your eyes and ears on Eşref at all times.

If anything happens to Eşref, I'll hold you accountable.

Got it, boss.

Hello Nisan, welcome.

Thanks.

Your new song is out, so let's start with music.

When did you first connect with music?

For as long as I can remember.

That's lovely.

So, your first single It's getting a lot of plays.

Everyone's talking about the song.

-Are you excited? -Very.

We've been waiting for this moment for years.

You said "we", who's that?

My sister Afra.

She's my sister, my friend, my confidant.

And also her manager.

-Oh, wonderful. -And that's Ceren, my best friend.

She's also our music director.

We composed most of the songs together.

That's great, you've built a powerhouse of women.

-Yes, full-on girl power. -Amazing.

I'm going to shift away from music for a moment.

If it's okay with you, I heard you lost family in the earthquake.

Is that true?

Yes, the Dinar earthquake.

Afra and I made it out, but…

Our parents sadly didn't survive.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That's heartbreaking.

What was life like after that?

I was really withdrawn…

Until we got to Istanbul, people we knew took care of us.

It must've been hard going through all that.

It was truly difficult.

I don't want to upset you any further.

Let's try to lighten the mood a bit…

-Let's move on to something easier. -Okay, deal.

What does love mean to you?

It's our reason for being.

What do you mean?

It's the raw material of humanity.

Of people, of life…

Even the reason the universe was created.

So Nisan, are you in love right now?

There's no one in my life at the moment.

That's a dodgy answer.

You're really putting me on the spot here.

But if we keep digging into this…

Please, let's move on from this topic already.

-She's definitely going to spill. -God forbid.

My heart feels like it's going to burst.

There was someone in my life once.

But now he's very far away.

I don't really want to talk about him.

So how do you know when you're in love?

When I write songs.

And what are you like when you're in love?

It'd be better to ask the person I fall in love with.

I'm sure you've got at least a little idea.

Here's how I see it.

I don't think love and reason ever coexist.

They just can't.

You lose your mind, basically.

Want me to tell you the biggest similarity between love and madness?

What is it?

Smart people envy both.

Wow, now that's a great answer.

So is your heart empty right now?

I don't think anyone's heart is ever truly empty.

If there's no love, there's longing.

If there's no longing, there's anger.

There's always some emotion filling you up.

And it's not always a good one, of course.

Wow, that was beautiful.

Nisan, thank you so much.

Thank you.

And thank you for being on the show. I hope our paths cross more often.

-I hope so. -Cut.

That was great. Oh, I was so nervous.

I didn't mess up my first interview, did I?

No, you were amazing.

It's like you had everything memorized.

-I pushed a little, sorry about that. -No, no, not at all.

-It was great meeting you. -Likewise.

-I think we'll be seeing each other a lot more. -I hope so.

-Thanks so much. -See you.

-Thank you. -See you.

-How was it? -It was amazing.

So beautiful, oh my God.

By the way, the owner of the production company wants to meet you.

-Who? -Mr. Dinçer.

Not just the owne, he's actually the CEO of the group that owns the company.

-Whatever, same thing. -When?

-They'll let us know the time and date. -Alright, cool.

Eşref? Guard, guard, hurry!

Eşref, are you okay?

Are you alright? Who did this?

-What's going on here? -Can't you see?

They stabbed Eşref.

Eşref, you can get up now.

Is everything ready?

Ready.

Dad!

Dad!

Uncle!

You know Yakup Baba's effort means a lot to me.

Otherwise I wouldn't do this.

You'll come back for sure, right? We'll burn if not. You have only two hours.

Your wounds aren't deep anyway, the guys did a good job.

Everything's in the car. Car's in the parking lot, be careful.

-What did you do? -Nothing.

You?

Nothing.

What about you, Irmak?

Nothing.

Another colorful day.

I'm just saying

maybe we should move somewhere decent?

With what money?

-The money Eşref left behind. -I'm not touching his money.

I'd rather starve.

I'll crawl if I have to,

but I won't eat off his money.

Come on, Gürdal.

Why are you so bitter toward this guy?

He just dumped us here and walked away.

Where'd he go? To Nisan.

Where's Nisan?

She went to the water.

Where's the water? The cow drank it.

Where's the cow? Cows don't climb trees, man.

Nisan dropped a track.

It really blew up.

Track? What track?

A single.

Ah.

Now I get it. A single, of course.

Eşref's not with her anymore. And we're the ones paying for it.

Wouldn't you leave us for the girl you love?

I'd never leave my sister, my brothers, for anyone.

We saw what happened to the one who did.

Rotting in prison like a car thief.

Let him rot. If I ever pity him, I'm no man,

and if I feel sorry for him, I'm nothing but scum.

-Hey Gürdal, you said you were hungry. -Who's got an appetite after all this?

Every night it's Eşref, Eşref, Eşref.

Let Eşref eat your damn rice.

You miss him that much?

Marble Merve, Marble Merve, mar‑ver mar‑ver.

Idiot.

What an idiot.

I named her in memory of your late aunt.

What's going on?

Guys?

Hey.

Why's no one answering?

-Eşref. -Shh.

Wait, wait. Calm down, brother, calm down.

We didn't finish our talk.

You were saying something.

I was just talking, didn't mean it like that.

How did you even get out?

No, no.

You were saying something about Nisan.

She was your ex.

Just because she's my ex doesn't mean I'll stop loving her forever.

I told you I'd kill you today.

I keep my word.

Eşref may say he did all this to kill that guy, but it was all just to see Nisan again.

That's how he loved her.

He was ready to burn his whole life for that one moment.

The moment he saw her, he wanted to run straight to her.

He wondered what she'd do when she saw him.

Would Nisan run into his arms?

Or would she turn and walk away?

Every day in prison, he imagined their first meeting.

Maybe years later he'd find a completely different Nisan, but

that first meeting wouldn't be today.

1 MONTH LATER

What's going on?

What do you want to talk about?

Give me the phone.

Come.

What's happening?

Kadir.

I got an offer.

What kind of offer? From who?

Doesn't matter who.

But it's a huge offer.

If we accept, we'll grow tenfold.

Maybe a hundredfold.

What are you saying?

What's the plan?

There was this guy called Kabzımal. You've heard of him.

He was killed recently.

He was at the top of the drug business.

So?

After he died, the offer came to me.

-We'll take over the drug trade. -Whoa.

Are you serious?

You know me. I care about money. Doesn't matter to me.

But the Orphans won't get involved.

-Why not? -They've got principles.

Yakup Baba's rule.

Orphans don't touch drugs.

Then let me tell you.

They won't let you either.

Who the hell are they for me to ask permission, huh?

I'm the boss now! Kenan, I'm talking billions.

With that kind of money, you can buy every principle in the world.

Hey!

If we don't do it, someone else will.

Then they'll grow stronger.

Then maybe they'll become enemies.

They'll crush us.

When will we ever get another chance like this?

Who is it? Who made the offer?

Some guy called the Old Man.

Nobody knows him, nobody sees him.

He's behind everything.

You… already accepted the offer, didn't you?

I can't pass this up.

Kadir, everyone will turn against you.

Then one leaves, another takes his place.

But Eşref's against it.

You know how strongly he opposes this stuff.

So what?

He'll rot behind four walls, he's done.

Gather everyone.

-Are you nervous? -No, why would I be?

Sis, you're about to meet the boss.

Look, he's done a lot for you.

Don't you dare say that when you're up there.

How are you talking to your sister?

Well sis, you're unpredictable sometimes.

-Alright, what's his name? -You're still asking his name?

-Dinçer Burçay. -Okay Afra, okay.

Hello there.

-Hi, welcome. -Thank you.

-How are you? -Good, and you?

I'm good. Mr. Dinçer is waiting.

-The guy's seriously charismatic. -Afra, sweetie.

-Hello there. -Hi.

I'm Dinçer.

I'm Nisan, nice to meet you.

-Hi, I'm Afra. -Hello.

Come this way.

-Shall we talk a bit? -Of course.

What would you like?

Just water, please.

Sure.

So?

How's life after your first interview?

Honestly, I've become more visible.

People are staring, curious looks and all.

I'm not really used to that.

You better get used to it.

Because soon all of Türkiye will be talking about you.

You'll be everywhere.

How's that going to happen?

Because I want it to.

I'm not aiming for the top.

I just want my songs to be heard, that's enough. Really.

Thank you so much.

Enjoy.

Here you go.

You don't seem to realize your potential.

I mean, I don't know.

I want to show you something.

This way please.

You're going to be a huge star.

Our company will invest in you fully.

You'll get every kind of support.

But why me?

There are thousands of singers like me.

True.

There are thousands of singers like you.

But none of them have your light.

Look.

People stop and stare.

Whoa.

I don't even know what to say.

We're just getting started.

We're going to do a launch event for you. The entire press will be there.

-I'd appreciate it if you prepare well. -Of course, okay.

Well then

it was great meeting you.

Likewise.

Have a good day.

Sis,

this is incredible.

Afra.

How many times do I have to tell you… Don't call me on this phone.

Come on, Detective, what's the big deal?

Not Detective.

Chief.

Remember, I got promoted.

Well deserved.

Hey, listen.

Eşref's trial is today, right?

Yeah, today.

I'm heading to court now.

Why are you going?

I know him.

Everything depends on my testimony.

Listen.

There won't be any trouble, right?

-No, there won't. -Alright then.

Whether he gets out or not… Let's not ruin the mood.

If he doesn't, don't call this number again. Alright, hang up.

What a genius.

Hello?

Open the glove box.

-Who are you? -Do what I say.

Now open the envelope.

What the hell is going on?

Who are you?

If you don't do what I say

these photos will be sent to the press within an hour.

And to the prosecutor's office too.

I know a lot more about you, Çiğdem.

Are you playing games with me?

What do you want? Who are you?

If you don't do what I say, you'll see the game.

What do you want?

Ah, Çiğdem.

There's more where that came from.

You wouldn't believe what else I've got.

Eşref's trial is today, right?

Yes, yes, I'm at the courthouse.

They're bringing Eşref in now.

Any chance he'll get out on parole or something?

No way, not a chance.

Are you coming today?

No.

Last time we came, he told us not to come again.

My brother's still hurt, you know that.

Even if I wanted to bring him, he wouldn't come.

Just keep me posted on what happens, okay?

Don't worry, I will. I'll call you, Irmak.

Eşref.

You alright?

I'm good, you?

Good.

How are the guys?

They're keeping busy.

Keep them away from trouble.

Eşref.

Detective.

Chief.

You're the cop who put Eşref behind bars that day.

You earned that promotion.

Congrats.

Thank you.

How's Chief Serdar?

What can he do?

He's in prison.

They played good cop, bad cop.

And the result

the good cop's locked up.

Alright, give your statement.

Then everyone back to their lives.

Chief.

So.

Tell us what you saw.

Your Honor, I

when I arrived at the scene that day

before I entered

I heard the victim Nimet shouting.

"I'm going to kill you, Eşref!"

…she was yelling.

When I entered… I saw the victim pointing a gun at the defendant.

Then I

before I could intervene

a shot was fired.

The defendant

in self-defense

shot the victim Nimet.

That's not how you described it in your earlier statement.

Yes, I know. I didn't say it like this.

Back then, I wasn't in a good mental state.

I wanted to catch the suspect.

I'd been after him for a long time.

You'll pay for this, Chief.

Prosecutor, I didn't do anything wrong.

There was a mistake, I just wanted to correct it.

I'll destroy you.

I'll make you suffer.

I can't believe this. You'll be tried without detention.

-Are you serious? -Yes.

The release procedures are almost done.

To what do I owe this favor, Chief?

It's not a favor.

Someone wants you out.

Whether it's out of love or hate, I don't know.

Be careful.

Alright.

Eşref, see you around.

If anything comes up, be sure to call me.

-Thanks, Gonca. -Okay.

Irmak, you won't believe what just happened.

-He's coming, he's coming! -Mr. Eşref!

-Mr. Eşref! -Mr. Eşref, can you look?

Mr. Eşref, will you make a statement?

Mr. Eşref, what did the court decide, please tell us?

Mr. Eşref, a statement please.

Mr. Eşref, will you make a statement?

Sis.

You look amazing.

Don't you think it's super bright?

Well, you're a star now.

More than a star.

Just because we're stars doesn't mean we need to spin like disco balls.

No, sis. Come on, please. It looked great.

Actually, um…

if it were something more…

-more like… -Like what?

Something simpler.

Let me take this off. You look for something simpler too.

But it really looked great.

EŞREF TEK WILL BE TRIED WITHOUT DETENTION

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit!

Excuse me. Can you help me?

Uh. Where's the remote for this? Can we turn it off?

-It was around here somewhere… -Okay.

Let's find the remote and turn it off.

Where could you have put it?

I can't find it.

-Oh my God. -How did this happen?

Did you pick something else?

Afra?

Afra?

Yes?

What are you doing? Where are you?

What did I do, sis?

How does it look?

Well…

kind of…

You look like a government clerk.

I meant simple, I guess.

Simple.

It's a bit plain.

So what do we do? Forget it, this is a mess.

Actually, I have another outfit.

-I think you'll love it. -Really?

This means a lot to me.

Okay, come with me, love.

Let's try it.

Don't disappear on me. Wait.

Thank you so much.

Actually, I love every color…

Come on, Ceren.

Hello?

Ceren.

Did you see the news?

What news?

Eşref.

Eşref's out of prison.

What?

What do we do now?

Does Nisan know?

She doesn't, but she'll find out.

This is the worst timing.

What if she finds out?

What if Eşref shows up?

Wait. Wait. Calm down.

It'll be fine.

That chapter's closed.

You think so?

Well…

I hope so.

-Have a good day. -You too, take care.

Your father's coming.

Hey kid, he said hello.

He said hello to me, damn it. Swear to God, my father said hello.

He waved to me.

Brother, get in.

You won't believe what just happened.

You won't believe it either. Come on, get in.

Give me the cap.

-The shop's yours. -Don't worry, boss.

-What's going on, man? -Let's go, let's go.

Take care.

This time press there. Don't let them play in the first zone.

Chase him, chase together.

Guys, don't forget to help each other.

Don't let him play, man.

Don't let him play.

Don't let him play.

Good job, my boy.

Like that, like that, like that. Watch your positioning.

-No offside, no offside. -I hit it, I hit it.

Watch your positioning.

Well done, troublemaker! Together, helping each other.

Dat! I can do it too!

-Oh come on. What happened? -Get in, we're going urgently.

-Is something up? -I said it's urgent, get in.

What's so urgent? Professor, don't drive me crazy.

There's a match, can't you see?

It's not like you're refereeing a championship final.

-Get in the car. -Fine, okay. Coach, it's yours.

Wait slow, don't rush.

Come on guys.

Help each other, friends.

Don't let them play.

-Good job. -Pass it inside.

Well done, keeper.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Mr. Eşref.

Please.

Who are you?

Mr. Hıdır is expecting you.

Who's that?

He'll explain himself.

Someone's coming to pick me up soon, thanks.

Mr. Hıdır said to come for Yakup Baba's sake.

Get in.

-Salaam Alaikum, soldier. -Alaikum Salaam.

We heard Eşref Tek was getting out today, is that true?

He just got out.

Just now?

Where did he go?

-A car came and picked him up. -What kind of car?

A black SUV.

Did you see the plate?

How would I know, man? You think I looked at the plate?

He's messing with us.

He's messing with us.

Eşref did the same thing again.

-Who leaves us hanging like this? -Brother, chill.

Don't get worked up. Maybe something urgent came up.

Oh dear God.

What could be more urgent than your own brothers?

Sorry about that.

Came off a bit commanding, but I'm Hıdır.

I'm Eşref.

Please, come in.

This way.

I knew Yakup Baba.

I knew him very well.

We had a friendship going back forty-five years.

So you see, I'm one of the original Orphans.

-Really? -Yeah.

Why did you leave?

I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything.

Let's catch our breath first.

Two plain coffees, please.

How did you know how I take it?

I know everything about you, son.

Everything.

Wow, Yakup Baba. Look.

This photo is at least forty-five years old.

Look how young we were.

God rest his soul.

Amen.

Gentlemen.

So here's the offer.

There's a lot of money in this.

We'll all make a hundred times more.

We'll be stronger.

More powerful.

Alright. The offer's good, but…

Drug business isn't for us, Kadir.

Are we going to poison people's kids?

I'm not getting into this.

Me neither.

-That's what you're saying? -That's right.

We don't get into dirty business like this.

Besides, we made a promise to Yakup Baba.

Actually… You're right.

I've never seen you before.

Yakup Baba never mentioned you either.

Why did you leave?

I fell in love.

I asked for permission.

You started a family.

I was going to.

I asked Yakup Baba for permission.

There was a woman.

We loved each other so much, we got married.

We even had a child.

Where are they now?

After I left the Orphans

my old enemies saw their chance.

One day while we were walking

those bastards ambushed us in crossfire.

My son…

He was just a little kid.

Gone.

My condolences.

May your friends live long.

Years passed.

So what do you want from me?

Times are bad.

The Orphans are in bad hands now.

Kadir's path is not the right one.

It's none of my business.

We made a deal.

I won't touch him, and he won't touch my friends.

That's not the case.

It's not like you left it.

What happened?

Kadir is pulling the Orphans into the drug business.

After Kabzımal died

the real owners of this business, those bastards at the top

found Kadir and offered him the job.

And Kadir wants to accept it.

If you don't take the Orphans back very bad things will happen.

Very bad.

Look,

they call this Cracker.

I know, I saw it in prison.

These are distributed by Scrapper Sedat.

Kadir is going to bring him back to the Orphans.

Because that dishonorable, shameless man

was kicked out by Yakup Baba himself.

Scrapper Sedat, huh?

Yeah.

Yakup Baba's legacy is now in the hands

of scoundrels and traitors, the very worst.

It makes my blood boil.

And that bastard Kadir is part of it.

Does he know you're out?

Any minute now.

Look, I talked to the old guns.

they're ready to do whatever it takes.

We're behind you.

As long as you lead the way.

The final decision is yours.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

That's a real crew.

-Salaam Alaikum. -Alaikum Salaam.

Kadir Baba.

Take a seat.

You know them, right?

Captain, Scrapper, Butcher.

Exactly, exactly.

Who doesn't?

Of course we do.

They know what's going on.

They're very eager about our new line of business too.

A little change in the lineup does good sometimes.

Exactly, Kadir Baba.

Let's focus on our business.

Who cares about principles these days?

The only thing that matters is money.

You're dripping glucose from your mouth.

See, a smart guy just hits different.

Eşref…

…he's out.

So… what do you say?

I don't intend to get into trouble.

Son, guys like us don't run from trouble.

We can't.

It's not for me.

It's for the ones I love.

I made some promises.

I don't want them to get hurt.

This won't work without you.

It will, it will.

Everything works without me.

What are you going to do?

Go to a coastal town and fish or something?

Is that your dream?

Sounds nice.

Eşref…

You're not a civil servant, there's no retirement in this line of work.

Even if you sit quietly your enemies won't.

We've got your back.

Hıdır…

When I do something

I don't think about who's behind or in front of me.

I do it alone.

For now, I'll take my leave.

You're always welcome, son.

But think.

Think carefully.

Think of the young ones.

Middle school, high school age being dragged into the swamp of drugs

think of the homes that'll be destroyed.

Think of the orphans in this city.

They'll poison people from the inside out.

Stopping this is your duty too.

Mr. Dinçer wants everything to be perfect.

-Will he be there too? -Of course he will.

He's personally handling everything.

We're planning to start right at five.

You'll be on stage.

And after that we'll take questions from the press.

Isn't this all a bit too much?

Nisan, this is your life now. You have to get used to it.

Everything comes with a price, right?

Exactly.

It'll be hard for me to adjust.

But you have to.

We'll be involved in everything.

What you eat, what you drink, we'll manage it all.

We'll be watching what you wear, and who you're with.

Look, Mr. Dinçer really trusts you.

As you can see, he spared no expense for you.

I understand.

-But if you're tired, we can continue tomorrow. -Yes, please.

Alright then, friends, let's head out.

Thank you so much for everything.

You're welcome.

-Thanks. -Thanks.

-Much appreciated. -Thank you all very much.

This way.

Did this come from a confession analysis or what?

He's not here.

No one's seen or heard anything. I asked every place.

Where did this guy go all of a sudden? Doesn't he miss his friends at all?

Nothing bad happened to him, right?

If Kadir heard he got out, he's already after him.

If you're so worried about your brother, why don't you call Nisan?

He probably went straight to her after getting out.

Definitely.

-She still doesn't know, right? -Nope.

But she will.

Sis?

Who's calling?

-It's Irmak. -What does she want?

Don't answer, forget it.

-Maybe… -Maybe what?

Maybe it's something important, Afra.

Hello, Irmak?

Hi Nisan, how are you?

Good, thanks. What's up? You never call.

-I wanted to ask something. -Sure, go ahead.

Is Eşref with you?

-Eşref? -Yeah, he got out today.

We were worried since we haven't heard from him.

No.

He didn't call or come by.

Alright.

Sorry to bother you.

-Eşref's out of prison. -So what? What's it to us?

Nisan, you're living the most important days of your life right now.

I heard what Ms. Seda said today.

You need to be careful with your steps from now on.

Seeing Eşref right now would be a disaster.

That man went to prison because of me, you know that, right?

I know.

I know honey, but none of this will solve anything.

Sis, you shouldn't see Eşref.

-I have no desire to, Afra! -Good then.

I'm really tired, I'm going to rest in my room.

Damn it.

Just when everything was falling into place

just when I was trying to forget you… now's the time.

What do you mean I remembered wrong?

What do you mean?

Are you messing with me?

All the newspapers, TV channels, social media are talking about this.

The guy walked out waving fifty guards behind him.

Did someone threaten you?

-I just told what happened, sir. -Just told what happened, yeah.

Where was your head before?

Look, they pulled the prosecutor off the case.

I ruined the guy too.

Look Çiğdem, this isn't over, alright?

I'm going to have an investigation opened on you.

Now get out of here, I don't want to see you.

What is it? What?

Çiğdem, Eşref's out.

Yeah, he's out.

What's going on here, girl? What's going on?

They threatened me. I had no choice.

Who was it?

I don't know.

Someone who knows a lot about me.

Why didn't you come to me?

What would you have done?

-What do we do now? -How should I know?

I've got enough trouble already. I can't deal with you.

Eşref.

Glad you're out.

Thanks, Selim.

-Did you bring my stuff? -I did, everything's ready.

Here it is.

-The keys? -Here.

The stone?

Where'd that come from, man?

-Did you bring it? -It's in the car.

Phone's ready too. I saved everyone you asked for.

Thanks.

You're scaring me honestly. All this stuff…

Grave digging, headstone and all…

Are you heading to your death?

I'm already coming from there, Selim.

-Take this. -No need.

-Take it, man. -Thanks.

Shh. Keep your mouth shut.

-If anyone asks, don't say a word. -Got it.

I'll call you.

Pistachio.

ALONE AGAINST ALL EŞREF TEK

Hello?

Kadir.

Eşref.

Wasn't expecting your call.

You're out.

Glad you're out.

Come on, let us see that handsome face.

I promise I won't do anything.

Come kiss my hand. We'll forget all the grudges.

Where are you? Tell me so my guys can come pick you up.

Don't bother yourself.

I'll be visiting you soon.

Be my guest.

After all, you're an old tenant.

I heard you got into the drug business.

Thought I'd ask you directly, is it true?

Yeah.

I did. So what?

I won't let the Orphans get involved, Kadir.

And I won't let you either.

You don't matter anymore, Eşref.

This is my city now.

I'm the boss now, you know that.

I make the rules.

We made a deal, remember?

I wasn't going to touch you.

Yeah.

Well, that deal expires today.

Is that so?

You'll be the one to suffer.

You'll suffer a lot.

And so will your loved ones.

Don't worry about me, Kadir.

Take care of yourself.

Man, I missed that voice.

Kenan, now.

Increase security immediately.

Make sure our men don't leave our side.

Does Eşref know?

There's no turning back now.

This city's too small for both of us.

When he comes to us, we'll take him out, Kenan.

Be ready.

Got it, boss. Don't worry.

Damn you, Eşref.

Taylan, I told you I can't go out tonight.

My sister's not feeling well.

But I promise, another time, okay?

Alright.

Who were you talking to?

Taylan.

He's a really good guy.

Where are you going like that?

Getting some air.

What's going on?

Sis, promise me.

Girl, get out of my way.

-You're not going to him. -I'm not going to anyone.

-I said I'm getting air. -Okay.

Promise me.

I promise, Afra.

Now move.

Oh come on.

Ugh.

-You need a taxi? -No thanks, I'm good.

-Keep going. -Alright, good night.

Taxi! Wait, wait!

I changed my mind.

Where to, miss?

-I don't know. -What do you mean?

Let's just drive around a bit. But first

play a heartbreak song, will you?

The saddest one.

Arabesque is what keeps us going.

Exactly.

♪ How can I explain my regret? ♪

-Do you have a girlfriend? -No.

-Have you ever been in love? -Once.

And after that, no one?

There were.

But I wasn't in love.

Why not?

Because a heart only loves once.

♪ My enmity to those who look at you ♪

♪ Don't blame my ignorance, don't ♪

♪ Since you left, everything lost its color ♪

♪ The roses of my heart wilted and faded ♪

Can you pull over here?

♪ The smiling face of my life disappeared ♪

♪ Oh ♪

♪ I have a couple of wishes, don't break them ♪

Keep driving.

Stop the car, stop.

Can we go back for a moment?

Was that your boyfriend?

Once upon a time.

Was this your spot?

Yes.

If you don't get out, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

How do you know? Maybe I'll regret it if I do.

You'll regret it either way.

-Then why get out? -I used to have a workshop.

I was doing well. I had someone I really loved.

I was in the same situation.

We broke up.

She waited for me but

-I didn't have the courage to go to her. -Ugh.

-What happened after? -I drive a taxi now.

Not even my own license plate.

I never take money from someone suffering heartbreak.

That's my principle.

Are you sure you're a taxi driver?

I watched a movie in prison.

A Turkish film.

-What's it called? -I don't know the name.

Two lovers can't be together.

Interesting.

Never heard of it.

Then every year…

…they meet in a park once a year

chat and part ways.

It goes on for years.

Until old age.

Once a year.

Once a year.

That's the title.

What?

The movie's called "Once a Year."

Kartal Tibet and Hülya Koçyiğit star in it.

Oh, look at you knowing all that.

How did you get out?

Someone wanted me out.

Why?

No idea.

Irmak called, they were really worried about you.

Let them be.

You…

You went to prison because of me.

I didn't go to prison because of you.

I went to prison because I committed murder.

But you committed murder because of me

I was the one who shot that woman.

But I was the one who killed her.

But why?

I wasn't exactly innocent to begin with, Nisan.

Don't think about it.

Maybe if you had come to me that day none of this would've happened.

Whatever's meant to happen… happens.

They call that fate.

They call it fate.

Want me to tell you what fate really is?

It's what you see when you look back at what you've done.

But you chose to chase Rüya.

I really believed you loved me.

I really did love you.

That's why you ran straight to your Rüya.

Hm.

But it's hard to explain.

You…

You'll never love me as much as I loved you.

Knowing that hurts me so much.

Me too.

-Where to? -Home.

-I'll take you. -No need.

Coming here was a mistake anyway.

Nisan, I won't be around here long.

Where to now?

I know that look.

You're going to do something.

Something bad.

What are you going to do, Eşref?

Do whatever you want.

-Nisan, get in the car. -I'm not getting in.

I said get in.

I said I'm not getting in.

Just get in the car.

I don't want to, Eşref. I'm not getting in.

Get in.

What if I don't?

I'll be sad.

You used to be scarier.

I'm getting old.

You could at least say please.

I'm not going to beg you to get in the car.

Beg anyway.

-Careful. -Sorry.

There are twelve months, fifty-two weeks, and 365 days in a year.

Couldn't you have gotten out two days later?

-Of all days, you picked today? -Seriously?

What's in two days?

Tomorrow's a really important day for me.

Why? What happened?

My single dropped.

-Your what? -Single.

A song.

Just one track.

Oh.

Like those old 45s?

-Nope. -Nine millimeter.

-Why are you mad at me now? -I'm just asking questions.

Maybe because I hate you?

What did I do to be hated?

You looked me in the eye and told me you loved another woman.

What more could you do?

Might as well rip out my heart and eat it.

Another woman.

A woman who was never mine.

What difference does it make?

What difference? It makes no difference.

Even if she were dead, what difference?

God forbid, of course.

But she's still in your mind.

Gürdal, I found Eşref.

He's in front of Ms. Nisan's house right now.

They're together.

Same old story again.

Alright, keep watching.

Okay.

-Is this a joke? -What happened?

-Eşref's car pulled up to the door. -What?

God, is this girl crazy? They've found each other again.

Anyway, hang up.

I won't bother you again.

Please. I'll do my best too.

Alright.

What's this?

Nothing.

What is it?

Wait, don't touch--

ALONE AGAINST ALL EŞREF TEK

-What is this, Eşref? -A gravestone.

It has your name on it.

Because it's my gravestone.

Are you insane? What is this?

Let it be. Might need it someday.

Fine, go die.

Die so we're both free.

You never get enough of dying, or killing.

You drive people mad, make them sick.

Wish you'd rot in prison.

Do you even know what I've been through?

I used to check the papers every day for death notices.

I couldn't even turn on the TV out of fear.

Do you know what you put me through?

You haunted my dreams.

Do whatever you want.

Die, live, whatever. Just do it.

Just stay away from me. Enough already!

What did I even say now?

What's up?

Are you following me?

Yes.

I'm checking if you kept your word.

Get in, let's not talk here.

Sick-minded, psycho, lunatic.

He even had a gravestone made for himself.

-What? -No way.

Same old story, nothing's changed.

I can't believe you right now.

-Where did you two meet? -We didn't meet, Afra.

-We ran into each other. -Ran into each other?

Where?

Where doesn't matter. In the depths of hell.

I told you something and now you're yelling at me?

Whatever. Let them shoot him full of holes. I don't care.

Psycho freak!

Psychopath!

It's beautiful.

When will you stop chasing me?

-Just leave me alone. -You know what I want.

You won't see Nisan again.

And if I do, what do you think will happen?

You think I'll come to you?

Huh?

Don't come.

Don't come to me either.

But you won't go to her.

We made a deal.

Do you love her that much?

Are you mocking me?

Yes.

Cool.

Then you'll stay away from her.

I won't just burn you, Eşref.

I'll burn Nisan too.

I'll go to the prosecutor.

I'll say Nisan killed Nimet.

If you think I won't do it, you're very wrong.

We're done talking. Get out.

What's going on?

You know everything could've been so different, right?

Çiğdem, I said get out.

Our deal still stands. You won't hurt Nisan.

And I'll stay away from her.

Good.

I want the same.

Lunatic.

There won't be a story called Eşref and Nisan.

Sis.

Can I come in?

Come.

Come.

-Are you okay? -I feel like shit.

I've been trying to forget this man for months.

Trying not to think about him. And now look.

In moments like this, remember the Rüya thing.

-He loves someone else. -It's not working.

Afra, it's not working.

I can't stop thinking about him. I can't get him out of my head.

You have to forget him.

Especially now, especially at this time.

Even a single photo could ruin everything.

-I prayed so hard that no one would see you. -Afra, it's not like I'm a global star.

Paparazzi chasing me. Don't talk nonsense.

-Don't exaggerate. -Those days will come too.

Imagine being with a guy like that.

-If it gets out, you're done. -What relationship?

Is it even possible to be with Eşref?

Would you want it?

Yes.

I'd want it very much.

Sleep well, Eşref Tek.

Tonight is the last sleep of your life.

Enjoy it.

Brother, is this a hotel?

-Get up, come on. -Müslüm?

Salaam Alaikum.

How did you find me?

Why didn't you call?

Come here.

I didn't want to bother you.

What kind of talk is that?

You think you're a stranger?

Come on.

We're going home.

I'm fine like this.

We need to talk.

About what?

About reclaiming what belongs to you.

The Orphans.

That chapter's closed, Faruk.

Leave me out of it. You should drop it too.

Kadir betrayed everything Yakup Baba entrusted to him.

He's completely lost it.

Brother, we have to take back what's ours.

If we die, we die on this path.

That dog Kadir shouldn't get away with what he's done.

They think the field is empty.

They're walking around like it's a village without dogs.

Eşref.

We have to do something.

I'm telling you, I'm out.

-Don't push it. -I told you.

This Eşref isn't the old Eşref anymore.

For fuck's sake, look at the state we're in.

Man's about to commit a massacre.

He killed Cemil!

Gürdal…

This country has police. It has gendarmerie. Right?

-Let them catch him. -Can you hear yourself right now?

Yakup Baba must be turning in his grave.

He's probably flipping over, for crying out loud!

-Don't drag him into this. -Don't drag him? Really?

You sold us out that day, man.

You left for that girl. You left us behind.

We were about to finish Kadir!

We wouldn't be here today.

How did we end up at this point?

-I'm leaving. -Where are you going?

Aren't you tired of this? Huh?

Aren't you tired of living at gunpoint every day?

You go back to your stand.

-And you go sit in your bookstore. -How do you know that?

I know everything, Faruk.

You don't know shit, and you still claim you do!

Gürdal, aren't you teaching kids soccer in the field we got for Ömer?

How do you know that?

Yeah…

We're brothers until the end of time.

Only our paths to the end will be different.

Eşref,

tell us what's on your mind so at least we know.

Not getting into trouble again. Not going to prison again.

Find a job honorably, properly and earn money.

This path has no end. Leave it behind.

Go build yourselves ordinary lives.

Boss is messing with us, huh? Is that it, boss?

What's your deal, Eşref Tek?

Oh, so my backwards hat is hilarious to you, huh?

Huh? Ah.

Actually, he might be right.

When you think about it, it makes sense.

Living life at gunpoint… I swear I'm done, guys.

Isn't it time to build a home?

Marriage, yeah, marriage maybe. Right, Professor?

Having a kid would suit you well. A daughter, mashallah.

Then maybe after all this, a civil job.

Right, Müslüm? You know about this stuff.

Civil service, for example, green passport.

They give it after ten years, but still.

What are you even talking about? What are you saying?

If Yakup Baba heard this he'd spit in your face right now.

Maybe he would.

Is he leaving?

Eşref, you're leaving?

Get lost!

Don't come back again. Got it?

He's gone, man.

Damn piece--

If any of you…

Ever say Eşref's name again, I'll lay you out right here.

Shoot you in the head!

-Where you going? -What do you mean where?

Where are you headed? Didn't you hear him?

I'm just gonna ditch all this and start a normal life!

Sedat, is the shop open? Wait, I'm coming.

Move your feet first!

Let's go.

Whoever had me followed clearly has been on my tail for a while.

I opened the glove box…

-A short dossier on Çiğdem Serim. -So she's solid, huh?

Yeah, clearly solid.

Why would someone get Eşref out of prison?

No idea.

Who had him released?

I don't know their motive but…

Eşref's been fixated on me since he got out.

That's my real problem.

So?

-What will you do? -Do I have a choice?

It's either him or me.

Hold on.

You gave me your word.

You said you wouldn't touch Eşref.

And I helped you in return, Kadir.

As you can see plans have changed.

I'll kill you.

I won't even blink.

Shh,

old Kadir's gone damn it.

No one stops me now!

You hear me? No one!

Do you know what I did to get here?

Who I crushed?

Whose blood on my hands you know?

I'll crush you too.

Get your head straight.

Gonca!

Gonca, open up!

Gürdal, what are you doing?

-I'm jumping, open up! -Stop jumping, I'm coming!

Oh my God.

Is something wrong?

No, no, nothing. Everyone's fine.

-I came to tell you something. It's important. -Okay, tell me.

There's a wedding on Saturday.

-Who's getting married? -Hafize is.

She came to us and said, "I found a tall, triangle-shaped guy."

She really likes him. Girl, what nonsense are you telling me?

And you act all surprised like "Oh!" We're getting married.

-We are? -Yes.

-Why am I just hearing about this? -I'm telling you right now, aren't I?

Jeez.

-Gürdal, is this what I think it is? -You're so sweet, so lovely.

Should I wrap you in cotton or just hug you tight?

Girl, I came all the way to your door. I've got a ring in my hand.

What do you think is happening right now?

Give it here.

-Aren't you going to ask? -Ask what?

The marriage thing, the proposal?

You know, the question that comes with a proposal?

Gonca…

I don't like asking questions I already know the answer to.

Oh come on.

Girl, for heaven's sake.

Okay, it was rushed. I went out late and got it. That's why it's like this.

-Is this a joke? -Why would it be a joke, Gonca?

For God's sake, I'm saying we're getting married.

I seriously can't believe this.

-Are we really getting married? -What kind of question is that?

Why wouldn't people get married? What's wrong with us?

We're getting married. We'll build a beautiful home.

We'll have kids.

I'm tired of this gun business.

Tired of living with death hanging over me.

I want a normal, ordinary life.

Still, you could've taken me to a restaurant or something.

Look at me.

Don't get my hopes up. Okay?

Or I'll grab you by the nose. I'm serious.

Dead s--

Don't say another word.

You know why?

If you say one more word

I swear I'll call it off.

For God's sake, enough with the chatter. Just hush.

Do what I said.

Go look at wedding dresses tomorrow or the next day.

Okay? We'll be in touch.

I mean…

You're gonna eat that?

-Guys. -Man, cut it out.

-How are you getting married? -What do you mean how?

I'm marrying Gonca. I asked, she said okay.

Were you drunk?

What does that have to do with anything?

Come on, man.

Weren't you the ones who wanted a normal life?

Here you go, Gürdal's version of normal.

If deciding to marry in two hours counts as normal…

Hello?

Talk to me.

What? Really?

Okay, we'll talk later. Hang up now.

-Was that about Eşref? -No, not him.

My mom talked to my dad.

She said Müslüm wants to come over and ask for permission to kiss your hand.

And?

My dad didn't say anything.

-And? -What do you mean "and"?

He didn't say anything, that's it.

That's what you're happy about?

At least he didn't curse me out. What more do you want?

He could've said "Get lost, never set foot in this house again."

Say something… Comment… Anything. Aren't you happy?

-Congrats, son. -Thanks, Hafize.

-Congrats, dear. -Very good, man.

Perfect landing.

-I couldn't find my shoes. -I grabbed them for you.

Come on, we need to go. You'll get ready at the hotel.

The car's waiting downstairs.

Got butterflies?

Feels like my heart's going to jump out.

You'll be fine.

Come on, we really need to go.

Which hotel are we going to?

Uh, don't be mad but…

-Eşref's old hotel. -What?

Mr. Dinçer requested it. I tried to change it but couldn't.

-The hotel belongs to Kadir now. -Where did this come from?

It is what it is. We're not going to cancel at this point, are we?

-Come on. -Did Istanbul run out of hotels?

It'll be fine, let's go.

I'm heading to the hotel. You stay here.

Warn everyone, Kenan.

Eşref's roaming around.

-Find him. -Got it, boss. Don't worry.

Kadir.

-I need to tell you something. -What is it?

So I was gonna sit at the table too.

Are you an Orphan?

-Nope. -Then?

Alright.

I understand you very well, Kadir.

Where are you?

We'll move on my signal.

-What did you do about Eşref? -We're searching everywhere, Kadir Baba.

Good.

Let me know the moment you find him.

Got it, Kadir Baba.

What's going on?

Go check it out, go.

Eşref?

You can't escape me, Kadir!

What the hell?

-It's Eşref Tek! Run! -Come on.

Come on run!

Run! Surround Kadir.

Take him out.

You piece of shit!

I won't die without killing you damn it.

-Eşref. -Who are you?

Hıdır sent us.

Don't go, come with us.

I'm not done yet, you go.

You can't leave. You won't reach that guy either.

Come with us.

Ah, Eşref…

I was looking for you, you came yourself.

Drive, drive.

Head to the hotel. Now we have to deal with this too.

How did your job interview go?

Good. I got the job.

It's not exactly what I dreamed of… but it's good.

-Maybe your voice isn't that great? -It is.

Just unlucky.

-I don't believe in luck. -I do. Have a nice day.

She'll wear on stage. Send these to first floor too.

Alright.

Miss Nisan.

Mr. Kadir, are you alright? You look a bit tense.

No, no, I'm fine.

Welcome.

We've been preparing for you for days.

Don't mention it.

Treat Miss Nisan very well.

-Don't deny her anything. -Of course, Kadir Baba.

This way.

Hello there.

Hello.

Hello there.

Hello.

-Hi. -Welcome.

So? Feeling nervous?

Quite a bit.

I came a bit early to check the preparations.

You did well.

The press will be here soon too.

We'll be just about ready by then.

If you need anything, please let me know, okay?

Thank you. Thank you so much.

-Take care. -Come let's go.

Let's go with this elevator.

I've got a few things to handle upstairs.

I'll take care of them and come down.

Welcome.

Why did you stop me?

I was going to kill Kadir.

I didn't stop you from killing Kadir.

I stopped you from getting yourself killed, son.

There was no way you'd make it out alive.

If I cared about my life, I wouldn't have taken this path.

But I have to think about it.

Why?

This isn't just about Kadir.

There's someone bigger behind him.

We need to find that person. And we need your help.

Who's behind Kadir?

That's what we don't know.

Let's say you killed Kadir. Let's say you died doing it.

Other Kadirs will rise and plague this city.

We need to drain the swamp.

We need to find the one at the top.

I have to go.

Eşref,

don't go to Kadir.

There's no turning back now.

You can't stop me.

Kadirs never end.

He's just a mosquito in a giant swamp.

At least I'll have done my part.

This cause is way above personal issues.

I have no cause.

Just a debt that needs to be settled.

Alright then.

If you change your mind, let me know.

Because this is bigger than Kadir. Don't forget that.

Taylan, my love.

Hey.

-What's up? -I'm good, love. You?

I'm good too. These are for you, Miss.

You're kidding. And they're my favorite.

Put them in water and the greens will bloom.

Love, what are you wearing?

-Why, what's wrong with it? -Didn't I tell you to wear a suit?

I was going to surprise my sister and introduce you.

A suit?

-Am I here to ask for you hand? -Love, don't be ridiculous.

First impressions matter, don't you know?

-You look beautiful too. -Thank you.

Thanks.

Love.

Love, you're too clingy.

Didn't I say it's hard to handle you?

But it's so crowded here.

-Come with me. -Where to?

-Come on, love. -Where to?

Get inside, get inside, get inside, get inside.

Is there another surprise?

I booked you a room, what more do you want?

Hello?

We need to talk. I'm waiting for you.

First room on the left after the lobby.

We'll talk there.

Ali.

Yes, sir?

I can't reach Kenan.

-Tell him to call me. -That's Kadir's voice.

-Come. -Who's Kadir.

Kadir? Who is it?

What happened? What's the issue?

Eşref.

He tried to kill me as soon as he got out of prison.

Why?

He somehow found out the Orphans got involved in drug business.

What can I do about that?

If Eşref's in this world, I can't be. If I'm here, Eşref can't be.

I have to eliminate him.

Not now. It's not the time.

Eşref is mine.

I've got a score to settle with him.

What score?

What score do you have with Eşref?

Where is this girl? I can't reach her.

-She's probably handling something. -But is now the time to disappear?

Sweetie, our time's running out. We need to do your makeup.

Come on, darling, don't stress.

Okay, go find her quickly.

Wherever she went, get her out. Come on.

Wait, I'll go check on her.

Look at you.

Looks like we've got a couple sneaking around here.

What are you doing here?

Young lovers picked a bad place to show their love.

Mr. Dinçer, we…

…we swear we didn't hear anything.

We didn't hear a thing, we swear.

What do you say, Kadir?

Should we believe them?

Or did they hear everything we said?

Mr. Dinçer, I swear we didn't hear anything.

Even if we did, we wouldn't tell anyone.

-Just let us go, we'll be on our way. -Shh!

You two, be quiet.

Kadir,

handle this quietly.

What do you mean?

-What do you expect me to do? -Okay, okay.

Alright, you go, I'll take care of it.

-Ms. Nisan, how do you feel? -Very excited.

I hope you all liked my song.

Will there be an album too?

Yes, we can say the album is coming soon.

Preparations are underway as we speak.

Are the songs yours?

Some of the lyrics are mine, yes.

And some of the compositions I did with my best friend, Ceren.

When is the single coming out?

It'll be live on all platforms starting midnight tonight.

And your love life?

Thank you, everyone.

Thanks to each of you for coming.

We'll be in touch again soon.

We're heading out.

-Thank you so much. -Thank you.

That was wonderful.

Bravo, you were amazing.

-They loved you. -Thank you so much.

-Congratulations. -Thanks.

Soon the whole country will be talking about you.

They've already started.

Have you seen Afra? I can't reach her.

No, haven't seen her yet.

Where did she disappear to?

-What's wrong, is something up? -Afra…

I just can't reach her and I'm worried.

That's strange.

Mr. Dinçer, thank you for everything.

Ceren and I will head out

I'm really worried about Afra.

I want to reach her as soon as possible.

-Thanks again for everything. -See you soon.

-See you. -Thanks so much.

-Really, thank you. -See you.

Ceren, open a line on your end.

Don't worry.

This time we'll take Eşref down before he gets close.

Thank God, we fear no one.

Whatever comes, we'll settle it.

I'm going crazy. Still not answering. It's been hours.

How could a girl right in front of our eyes just vanish?

-I don't get it. -Ugh!

-She was talking about a guy. -Taylan.

Huh?

I don't have his number.

Should I call Çiğdem?

-What? -I don't know, maybe the police or something.

-Why would I call that lunatic? -Then let's go to the station or something.

-Should I try calling first? -Go ahead, call.

Who's the new prosecutor?

-Do we know? -No idea, Chief.

They're coming from Ankara.

Hmm.

Good.

Let's hope they don't become a headache.

Alright, you may go.

Hello?

-Çiğdem, Afra's missing. -What?

We were together all day, then she suddenly vanished.

It's not my fault.

I'm not saying it is, but I need help. I couldn't reach anyone at first.

Go to the police station, girl. Why are you calling me?

I'm going crazy. Where is this girl?

-I feel so anxious. -Okay.

She won't just show up like this. Let's go to her friends at least.

Maybe they know something. Then we'll go to the station.

-We'll file a missing person report. -Alright, let's go.

-Where are you, girl? -Alright.

You still haven't found that guy?

Clearly he's hiding.

Otherwise he'd have shown up.

Don't talk nonsense, Kenan.

When was Eşref last spotted?

Nisan?

Hello.

Eşref, sorry to bother you. Forgive me.

I wouldn't call if it weren't urgent.

No worries, go ahead.

Afra's been missing for hours. I'm starting to worry.

She's a young girl.

-She's probably with friends. -No way.

She's been preparing for this launch for weeks.

She was more excited than I was.

Something definitely happened. She wouldn't just disappear.

We're heading to the station now.

Where was she last?

At the hotel. The launch was at your hotel.

Okay, you go to the station. I'll take a look around.

Alright.

Tell me.

Clearly you haven't heard what happened.

No, what is it?

Someone attacked Kadir.

He survived an assassination attempt.

Who attacked him, girl?

I don't know that much. Just a few courthouse rumors.

Alright, if you hear anything, let me know, okay?

Okay, love, don't worry.

Someone attacked Kadir. Tried to assassinate him.

Goodness gracious. Who could've done it?

Eşref is calling.

Hello?

Hello, Irmak.

-Anyone we know at the hotel? -At our hotel?

Yes, our hotel.

Yeah, some people still work there.

Security Manager Musa still there?

He is.

Did something happen?

No, it's nothing. All good.

Irmak, what's going on?

He asked if anyone we know still works at the hotel.

Didn't say anything else.

He's definitely going to storm the hotel, wants to kill Kadir.

Move, damn it! He's gonna kill Kadir! Get up! Don't sit. Get up! Move!

-Out of the way! -That guy's seriously sick.

He forgot his phone.

Eşref.

What's up?

-Is Mousa here? -Yes.

-So you're out, huh? -I'm out.

Please save us from this maniac Kadir.

That'll happen too.

Eşref.

Welcome. Saw on the news that you're out.

Thanks, Mousa.

-I need a favor. -Say the word.

Hey, where do you think you're going? Mr. Kadir gave orders.

You're not allowed in this hotel.

What are you doing?

Don't mess with me, man.

I'll hang you from the flagpole.

I've got five minutes of business here, then I'm gone.

Go tell your Kadir whatever you want, do what you gotta do.

Stop. Fast‑forward.

The boy came out. The girl's still inside.

Keep watching what happens next.

No one else went in or out.

Maybe something's still in there.

Let's go, Mousa.

Afra.

Afra.

Afra.

Afra?

Is she dead?

She's dead.

-What do we do? -Hold on now!

-Don't touch. Look our… -Psst!

-Hopefully they find her soon. -They will, they will.

They'll check her phone or something and find her in no time.

I wonder if Eşref found anything.

Nisan?

Eşref, any news?

-I found Afra. -Oh thank God.

Where was that donkey? I'm going to kill her.

At the hotel.

She wasn't doing well.

She fainted.

What?

They took her to the hospital.

Which hospital? Why didn't anyone tell me?

I don't know.

I don't know which hospital either.

Eşref, is everything okay?

Is Afra alright?

I'm going to check now.

Okay.

Call me the moment you find out anything.

It's nothing bad, right? Tell me the truth.

They said it's not. She just fainted.

Oh God.

I'm going to lose my mind. Please call me right away, please.

Okay.

Taxi!

Hey! Come on! Come here!

You can drive!

Gürdal, come to the hotel, quick.

We're here, Eşref, we're here.

Eşref, what's going on?

There's a guy named Scapper Sedat.

Kadir's crew.

-Involved in drugs. -Whoa, damn!

So?

I'll give you Hıdır's number. Call him.

Find Sedat's location.

Don't do anything once you find him. Just let me know.

Alright, alright.

Are you okay?

Afra…

She's dead.

What?

She's dead?

How did it happen, Eşref?

Drugs.

Listen to me.

Find that Sedat. Right now, tonight.

Go.

-Are you okay? -Something's off about this.

That girl wouldn't be involved in drugs. She's not that kind of girl.

Goodness gracious.

Why isn't Eşref answering his phone?

Nisan.

Hi, Irmak. I can't reach Eşref.

My brother just went to the hotel.

I think Eşref is there. I don't really know either.

-The hotel? -Yes.

-He told me he was going to the hospital. -What hospital?

Okay. Okay. Thanks a lot.

-Something's going on, Ceren. -Nothing's going on.

Wait. No. What could it be?

I don't know. I have a really bad feeling.

Chief, you know the hotel Kadir runs?

Used to be Eşref's too.

Yes. What happened?

They just found a woman's body there. It came through the dispatch.

A body?

Do we know who?

They said Afra.

What?

That's what they said, Chief.

Alright, thanks.

Can we go a bit faster, please?

Okay, calm down.

Stay calm.

Yeah? Talk.

Kadir Baba, Afra was found dead in our hotel.

What?

-Afra is dead? -Yes, Kadir Baba.

What are you saying, man?

Goddammit! Hang up!

We need to meet urgently.

You didn't tell me it would be like this.

Eşref.

I heard Afra's name, is it true?

It's true.

How did it happen? Who did it?

Aren't you the cop? You figure it out.

She was already dead when I got there.

-What happened? -Drug overdose, Chief.

That new stuff they call "Cracker."

-Are you sure? -We've seen it before, Chief.

Bruising, convulsions, everything points to it, but

we'll know for sure after the autopsy.

The prosecutor is coming.

Good luck with your duties, everyone.

Who found her?

Eşref Tek and the hotel's head of security.

-Did you take his statement? -Yes, ma'am.

Good.

Collect everything.

Whatever there is, camera footage, everything.

Yes, Prosecutor.

Çiğdem.

Yes, Prosecutor?

What are you doing here?

I heard the news, so I came.

Why don't you come with me, honey?

You've lost weight.

I've been watching what I eat and drink.

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

It has.

A very long time.

I just arrived in Istanbul today.

I heard what happened.

You're changing your statement.

Eşref gets out, then finds a body. Strange, isn't it?

Life's full of coincidences.

I'm staying around here now, Çiğdem.

Then…

Welcome back.

Mom.

-What happened? -Afra is dead.

-What did you expect? -She's Nisan's sister.

Maybe. She wasn't supposed to see me, but she did.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Wh…

Huh?

W-Why?

Your sister fell in love with the wrong person.

Stay calm.

An overdose kills in 15 minutes. You've got a few minutes left.

Her sister will be devastated.

And you, young man…

Now listen to me carefully.

She was just a young girl, man.

Who kills a young girl? Are you insane?

Kadir,

she saw us.

She heard what we said.

There was nothing else to do.

-And in my hotel, no less. -Don't worry.

She died of overdose. No one will even suspect murder.

They won't?

But we entered the room too. There are security cameras.

Won't the police or prosecutor check?

It's all handled. Don't be afraid.

Don't worry.

No one will find a trace of us.

You're completely insane.

But calm down a bit.

If you're going to work with me, we can't blow things up like this.

Listen to me.

I don't want this happening again.

-I'm basically your employer. -I don't care who you are!

Everything has its code!

Still talking about codes?

Old-school guy.

What happened here?

Place is a mess.

Did Eşref cause trouble again?

Eşref?

What are you doing here, Nisan?

What are you doing here? Weren't you going to the hospital?

I was.

Where's Afra?

At the hospital.

Come on, let's go too.

Bring the body bag.

We're transferring the deceased to the morgue.

Prosecutor's orders.

Alright then. You stay here.

I'll head home quickly.

Afra will be back soon. She'll worry.

She gets really scared when she's alone.

-Nisan, wait. We need to talk. -No, no. We'll talk later.

Afra will worry.

-Drive. -Nisan.

Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive.

No, no, no, no.

Play something upbeat. Something cheerful.

Bring the body bag.

We're transferring the deceased to the morgue.

Prosecutor's orders.

Alright then, you stay. I'll head home quickly.

Afra will be back soon.

She'll worry if she doesn't find me.

You know she gets scared.

Nisan, wait. We need to talk.

No, no. There's nothing to talk about.

Afra will worry.

The runaway is here.

Welcome.

Come in.

Are you hungry? I'm making pasta.

Well, spaghetti actually. Afra loves it.

She'll definitely come home starving.

"Sis, I'm starving, sis!"

If you set the table, we'll eat together.

Okay.

Wait, let me add some salt.

Nisan.

Come sit with me.

What's wrong?

Just come.

Did something happen?

Sit down.

Oh my God.

Please stay calm.

Please.

Soon

a psychologist and two medics will come to talk to you.

Why?

They have something to tell you.

Like what?

About Afra.

We…

Eşref, we…

with Afra…

…do you know how we survived that earthquake?

Mom and dad died.

Do you know how we made it out?

She was just a baby.

She held onto my pinky finger.

I sang lullabies to her.

Oh, how she cried.

How she cried.

She calmed down as I sang lullabies.

The more I sang, the calmer she got.

That's how we survived together.

My baby.

My baby.

Eşref, I'll ask you just one thing.

Is Afra okay?

Tell me Afra is okay.

Tell me there's nothing wrong with Afra.

Tell me Afra is perfectly fine.

Please.

Eşref, answer me!

Say Afra is okay!

Nisan.

Eşref, tell me something!

Say Afra is okay.

Say she went out with friends

they hung out, she's not coming home, she's embarrassed!

Say she went to Çeşme!

Answer me, tell me Afra is okay!

I'm begging you, tell me Afra is okay!

Eşref, tell me Afra is okay!

Eşref, she's my sister!

She's my sister!

Eşref, I'm begging you for Afra!

-Calm down. -She's my baby!

She's my baby!

Please, please.

Let's find Afra.

I beg you, let's find Afra.

-Get ready, go in. -Please, don't let them knock me out!

Afra!

Afra. Eşref please!

Please!

-Please! -Nisan.

That day was the hardest day in Eşref and Nisan's lives.

Afra's story had ended.

But theirs was just beginning.

You'll be okay, don't worry.

Let's find Afra.

Everything will be alright.

-She's in your care, I'll follow behind. -Of course, don't worry.

-Careful. -Let's take Nisan in.

Please, be careful.

Hello?

Eşref, we found the guy.

I'm coming right away.

Ceren?

What's going on here?

Afra…

We lost Afra.

What?

How?

I don't know.

I don't know how it happened.

I don't understand anything.

Where's Nisan?

Inside. They gave her a sedative, she's resting.

It's really awful.

How could this happen?

-Nurse, may I see her? -In a little while.

He's inside.

-Is that him? -Scrapper Sedat, that's him.

Are you the one selling that stuff?

Get the fuck out of here!

Kadir Baba will fuck every one of you up.

No one can touch us.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Shut it!

Shut up!

Put men everywhere, Eşref is coming. He's not getting out of here alive!

Got it?

Kadir!

Where are you?

Come out!

We finally meet.

What do you want?

You shouldn't have gotten involved, Kadir!

Because of you, a young girl died.

What's it to you?

Are you a cop or a prosecutor?

You won't drag the Orphans into this!

And if I do, what then?

I'll take all your heads.

Take a look around you.

You should be the one looking around, Kadir.

No one's getting out of here alive.

Is anyone here afraid of death?

Alright.

Kadir.

Alright.

My partner doesn't want bloodshed.

For now.

Tell your partner

spilled blood doesn't stay in the vein.

I'll drown him in his own blood.

Then it'll be your turn.

I'll cut off your hands, arms, and legs one by one.

Then I'll rip your head off, Kadir!

I'm giving you a chance, leave now, Eşref.

Until I get the Orphans!

Until the time comes to take your life, I'll be here, Kadir!

Let everyone hear what I have to say!

And let those who didn't hear be told!

This is the fate of anyone who gets involved in drugs!

The game has changed while I was inside!

If this is the game now, then there's only one rule!

I wish I could say it'll all pass…

…but it's only just beginning, Nisan.

Your sister heard something she never should've.

I'm sorry.

Who are you?

Hello, I'm Dinçer.

Eşref.

I'm Nisan's producer.

It was a huge shock, really.

It was.

Do I know you from somewhere?

I don't know.

Maybe we crossed paths somewhere.

Your face seems familiar.

Could be.

Eşref.

Nisan.

Eşref, please don't go.

I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.

Afra is gone, Eşref.

I'm alone now.

Shh.

I'm here.

Dad?

Dad.

Dad.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, please… Dad, please don't leave me!

Don't leave me! Don't leave me!

Son!

Son!

That night, while Eşref was staining his hands with blood,

he had no idea that the unknown enemy

who would one day shatter his fate was there too.

Eşref!

My father's killer!

I will make you suffer unimaginable pain!
