Translation by set.willow6a Enjoy the show!

Welcome, everyone.

"Family…

…is the strongest form of love," they say. True, but incomplete.

It's also the strongest form of hate.

With its sins. With its virtues. You love so deeply

that if you can't have its love

then you settle for its hate.

And I, with my sins.

With my virtues. Until my last breath…

…will stand by my family.

And in the making of this marina you see here, in getting to this day

to all my teammates who contributed

who worked day and night, I want to take a moment

to thank them. I'm truly grateful.

And I'm certain this marina

will mark the beginning of a brand-new life for our family.

To each and every one of you thank you for being here.

Thank you. Truly. I appreciate it.

Mr. Aslan, since you mentioned "family"

we haven't seen you with your dear wife Mrs. Devin in a long time.

How's your marriage going?

My dear wife has been working intensely lately.

She would've loved to be here.

So of course she's very upset emotionally.

There was another question. What were you saying?

Your marriage.

Marriage. Uh. It's going great.

Fantastic.

I want a divorce.

I've seen exactly 12 lawyers in the past two months.

Half of them, in the very first meeting

said they didn't want to take the case.

The other half dropped it later on because of threats.

And then, somehow

you started showing up everywhere I turned.

That's why I'm here.

If you're also afraid and don't want to take this case

I totally understand. No problem at all.

But you need to tell me right now

because I don't have a single minute to waste anymore.

Do you always accuse strangers

of cowardice like this, Mrs. Devin?

Maybe it's not fear you're feeling,

but the terror of truly losing this man.

If you really want a divorce

you need to tell me clearly and directly.

Are you afraid?

I shot someone, Ms. Serap.

I shot someone so the man I love wouldn't die.

Have you ever shot someone?

I was pregnant.

Eight weeks.

Help me!

My baby! My baby!

I lost my baby that same night.

My husband couldn't be by my side because he'd been shot too.

What a bizarre night, right?

Was Mercury in retrograde or something?

Then

the trial process

a quiet, hushed-up case.

I was acquitted.

On behalf of a third party…

It turns out what I did was considered self-defense for a third party.

That's what they called it.

Then came the deep depression.

Fights. Violence.

Antidepressants.

After the miscarriage

the pain kept going like it was saying "Not enough, girl. We're on you till you drop."

I'm afraid, but not the way you think.

I'm not afraid of losing the man you see on the screen.

I already lost him long ago.

I've lived the biggest,

most misguided love of my life.

That's why

now I'm only afraid of what I'm capable of.

I'm afraid of myself.

Because we don't just hurt ourselves.

People die because of us.

The ones we love die.

How many more people have to die before we admit this love is toxic?

I don't know.

So I'm asking you one last time.

Are you going to be my lawyer

or not?

You said 12 lawyers, right?

13 is my lucky number.

Let's do this. Let's make it official.

Mr. Aslan, are you aware of the video that just started circulating?

A video posted minutes ago from an anonymous account

has exploded like a bombshell.

In the video, the Soykan family's daughter-in-law, psychologist Devin Soykan,

is seen shooting her husband's brother, Cihan Soykan, with a gun.

Excuse me.

Can you move a little? I can't breathe. Just a second.

Just a bit. Just a bit.

Move a little.

Move a little!

Move a little!

Move a little!

Move already!

Move!

Mr. Aslan, why isn't Mrs. Devin here?

The confrontation between Aslan Soykan and Cihan Soykan

has revealed truths that are downright chilling.

It turns out Cihan Soykan was adopted, and the man he thought was his father, Yusuf Soykan,

had murdered his biological mother and father years ago.

You're checking every camera and entry system in the house.

You find that leak. Got it?

And wherever that video was posted, you get it taken down from everywhere.

Got it, Aslan.

About that Murat Dalkılıç concert tonight, he was supposed to--

Oh, for ***'s sake.

Fine. I'll talk to his manager.

Canceled.

Ugh!

I can't believe this. It wasn't enough that we knew, now all of Turkey knows.

We were the only ones with this footage. Who would do this?

What are you laughing at? You think this is funny?

No, Mom. I was just thinking how smart it was of me

to take my kids and leave that house.

Did you leak the video?

Oh, welcome, Soykan Hülya. I've missed you so much. So glad you're here.

Enough, Leyla. Enough!

Can you all calm down? Whoever did it, we'll find out.

Grandma, why didn't you wait inside?

Grandma, what are you doing?

Mom, what are you doing, for God's sake?

Mom, do you think uncle could've done it?

Maybe he wanted to expose my father as a woman killer

and finally get the redemption he's been waiting for all these years.

-Leyla. -Hmm?

Have you lost your mind?

Aslan, who could do something like this, huh? Who?

You.

You did it because you know this video will hurt Devin the most.

And you know it'll hurt us too.

Because what you do best

you break us first, then you patch us up, Hülya Soykan.

Isn't that right, Mom?

Look, me, I came here to start

a brand-new chapter to escape this family's filth.

And what a coincidence that this video explodes today. You get it?

And look, this chaotic mess you created, guess who's cleaning it up again? Me.

But you won't get away with any of the things you planned. Don't forget that.

Look at this, still… You see this?

I still have this ring on my finger. Got it?

You've been saying for months, "My father is truly dead now."

Who knows, maybe you're the one who leaked the video.

To drag your dead father's honor through the mud.

And to patch up the wounds of the wife you haven't seen in two months

what better excuse than this video, right?

A good cleanup fixes everything.

Hülya.

What if Cihan's the one who did this?

Leave any metal and walk through again.

Belt. Watch. Coins.

Bullet.

It's stuck in my back. That's what's beeping.

See?

Alright. Good luck.

Sis.

-Everything was finally over. -What's going on? What are you doing?

It was all behind us.

Just when everything had passed, the video came out.

What happened? The video came out.

-The video came out. -Sis, stop. What are you doing?

I'm not going back to the beginning.

I'm not going back to the beginning. Why should I go back? I never will.

Sis.

Yağmur.

Did you know… babies don't have kneecaps?

Isn't that weird? Isn't that such a strange fact?

I think it's a really strange fact.

Sis, look. Of course you know best, but

maybe you should start therapy or something?

Therapy's not enough.

Therapy's not enough.

I need to be reborn. Is that even possible?

You're seriously scaring me right now.

Please, sis. I'm coming!

Look, now you're gonna drop that suitcase and forget about packing. Okay?

You and I are going to the gynecologist this weekend.

We'll get your results, sis. Please just calm down a little, okay?

And if we're gonna lose it, we'll lose it together.

I'm coming!

Mom, where were you? I'm late because of you!

What kind of video was that?

She shoots the guy like a hitman. Like a full-on hitman.

We knew, but seeing it hits different.

Tell me nothing's gonna happen. Right?

No, sweetie. Nothing's gonna happen. Don't worry. My sister was acquitted.

If she was acquitted, then how did that video come out? Who leaked it?

I don't know!

I don't know, Mom, but weird stuff's happening inside.

She said something like "I need to be reborn."

And she's talking about how babies don't have kneecaps or something.

I trust you. Don't let her leave the house. Alright, I'm off.

Yağmur, where are you going? Sweetheart, don't scare me. Don't leave me alone.

Tsk.

What if she does something to me now?

Eek!

Mom.

I love you so much.

You're not drinking water. Drink some water, okay?

Devin!

Nice video, huh?

Like a movie.

A worthless family drama.

Look. This is my family.

My mother and dad.

This is all that's left of them.

They don't even have graves.

What would you do?

If the moment you were born they killed your parents

then adopted you…

…took away everything that made you who you are

killed you every day with lovelessness, and even that wasn't enough

still, every single day, they kept *** living their lives

what would you do?

The ones who did this to me…

…I'd *** kill them.

But look. Just know this

if Yusuf Soykan were alive today, I'd fight him right alongside you.

Thank God he's dead.

But Hülya Soykan is still alive.

If I had killed your mother with my own hands, what would you think?

Hey, man. Chill.

Alright, I get it. You've been wronged.

I'm angry about it too. Fine.

But listen, no one in this family is without protection.

You hear me?

You're not gonna hurt anyone. I won't allow it.

And that includes you. You're still my brother.

You're still my brother. You're my family.

I came to the hospital to see you.

I came to the hospital so many times. You were angry. You didn't see me. Fine.

Yeah, you came. But did she?

She didn't. Why?

Because she's still thinking about her Aslan.

I shot her son. She's probably lost it.

But you know what?

There's only one thing she cares about in this world.

Power.

Now she's gonna put you in Yusuf Soykan's place.

To protect her power, she wants to turn her beloved Aslan, the king of the jungle,

into a guard dog. A guard dog. Wake up!

-Look, man. Listen. -Shh.

-Brother, brother-- -Look.

-I'm telling you-- -No more "brother."

-Listen to me. -No more "brother"!

I should've come with you. Where are you going all alone?

To feel alive. To be happy. To go crazy.

To remember who Devin Akın really is.

I know you don't like me pushing you on this. I get it.

But just reconsider that clinic in London, okay?

Your references are ready. You've got your letter of intent.

They already loved you, you said it yourself.

Let's go together. And

maybe you'll even start therapy there.

Therapy's not enough, Ilkay. I need to be reborn.

Hey, are you okay? You haven't lost it, have you?

Maybe I have. So what? What's the big deal?

Isn't madness just the mind's safety valve?

Got it.

Ilkay, by the way, how did you even get in touch with that clinic?

They're notoriously hard to reach.

Come on. Will you stop underestimating me already?

Alright. Just keep your phone on. I'll call you, okay?

See you later.

What's she saying?

She says "therapy's not enough."

She says she needs to be reborn.

Has she lost it?

Perfect.

That video came at just the right time.

Now she'll speed up her decision to go to England.

Did you leak that video?

If I did, what difference would it make?

Are you really gonna pass up the chance to go to England with Devin? Huh?

I'm waiting for good news, Ilkay.

What do you even want from me?

-What do I want? -Yeah. What do you want?

I want everything, man. Everything!

I want a family, for starters.

I want a life half wasted. Can you give me that?

I want to see you writhing in pain.

I want to see you crawl.

I want to hear you beg to die.

Can you give me that?

No. You can't.

But I'll take it.

I'll take everything you've got. I'll take this place too.

-This place too? -I'll take it. I'll take the house too.

You know that table Yusuf Soykan built with his own hands?

I'm gonna burn it to ashes, brother.

Burn it slow.

Sure. Slow works too. I've got time.

Listen. If a single hair on any member of this family

gets harmed

I'll hold you responsible. You'll have to kill me first.

That's not gonna happen. Got it?

Death is a gift to you people.

No way. You won't die.

You'll live just to be powerless.

Got it?

Every day you'll be weaker than the day before.

Because that woman, she doesn't break when she's alone.

She breaks when she's powerless.

Yeah.

Us. You. Me.

Two brothers.

Now we're two new enemies. Is that it?

That's it.

That's bad.

Bad.

Bad?

Think of every villain you've seen in movies, the worst of the worst.

Keep them all in your head.

I'm the king of them all, man!

Me. I'm the baddest villain in the world.

And I'm the most justified villain in the world.

I'm the kind of villain who's got nothing left to lose.

I'm the villain who'll rip your heart out.

Got it?

I'm the villain who'll take everything from you.

If one day I end up having to kill you…

Look, I'm apologizing in advance for that.

Alright, brother?

No more "brother," brother.

No more "brother."

Alright, brother.

Yes, Yağmur?

Sis, I was really worried about you.

Mom said you left. Where are you?

I just want to be alone for a bit, Yağmur.

Are you okay though?

Keep me updated, alright?

Yağmur, it's okay, sweetie. I'm fine. I'm fine, don't worry about me. Okay?

Give me a little space.

-Okay. -Love you.

Love you too, sweetie. Talk soon.

Bye bye.

With their massive bodies and long curved tusks, elephants

have the ability to shape their environment.

From stripping bark off trees to digging irrigation channels,

they carry out many vital tasks.

Aslan, could Cihan be behind this video?

You have to look at who benefits most.

From that angle, a lot of people benefit.

Could be anyone.

You…

Could I be the one, for example?

No, man. Come on. That's not what I meant.

I was just thinking out loud.

That's what you say, huh? Alright then. If you say so.

Now let me think out loud too.

Just when I thought everything was falling into place, this video drops.

Right when I was about to sign new lease deals.

Now this marina is associated with scandal. Got it?

Everything we've done, everything we were going to do, ruined.

Then I ask myself, who did this?

My mother on one side. My uncle on the other. My brother. All of them, my family.

And it's not enough. Then I walk out and come here.

Then our…

Columbo Turgut

starts thinking out loud.

He suspects me. Then I say, "Aslan,"

I say, "What if I lay Turgut down and give him a nice ***?"

Yeah. Not a bad idea, right?

Aslan, no one's accusing you of anything.

I was just thinking out loud. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.

Alright. If I'm not on the list,

then you better keep your eyes wide open. Got it?

Watch every breath the people around you take. Got it?

My uncle. My mother. My brother. And that weasel Tolga, he'll crawl out of whatever hole he's hiding in.

Drag him here. Drag him out of that ***. Go.

Alright, you got it.

Move, Iskoç.

I'll… You stay put.

These are your better days, son.

You stay put.

Shh.

Bro.

*** bro, Eko.

*** your bro.

What the hell is this?

Sorry, bro.

Did I miss the opening?

I drank a bit too much yesterday…

You drank a bit too much yesterday?

Man, you haven't been sober more than five days in two months.

If you love this girl so much, why'd you leave her?

Are you sick?

Aslan, there's news about your wife.

The guys just called. She's left Istanbul.

-Hello. Good luck with your work. -Hello. Welcome.

Come in, dear. Have a seat.

Thank you.

Forget that.

Tell me what you want.

I want not to forget.

Because if I forget

I'll start over from the beginning. And if I start over…

Elephant.

Alright.

Can we do it like this?

♪ My heart's eye is closed ♪

Aslan Soykan!

What do you want from me, man?

You want my life?

What do you want?

Money's been deposited to your account.

Bride's allowence.

Devin's allowence.

Welcome.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Where's everyone going?

Boat tour.

Some guy came this morning. He treated everyone to a boat tour.

No one's left at the hotel.

Some guy?

What kind of guy?

A really handsome guy.

Look, he's coming.

No worries, Lütfü.

She's my wife.

Got it, brother.

Everything's ready, Mrs. Hülya.

It'll be served to Mrs. Leyla this evening.

Just as you requested.

Good. Anything else?

There's also the video issue.

It seems to have stirred up quite a reaction publicly.

If you don't want to attend the foundation gala tonight

-I can go in your place-- -Our name is clean, our heads held high, Çağrı.

We've got nothing to hide from anyone.

Will you mention Mr. Yusuf?

What kind of question is that? Of course I will.

Yusuf Soykan is the founder of this foundation.

As a family, tonight's donation will be made in his name again.

Is that a problem?

Not at all, Mrs. Hülya.

Alright. You may go.

An elephant.

Nice.

Has it been two months since we last saw each other?

Just briefly.

Can you listen to me for just a moment?

That night ruined all our lives.

But it ruined yours the most.

I know that.

And with that video…

…I know you've gone back to square one.

But listen. Know this.

I'm going to find out who leaked that video.

And I'm telling you

Until my last breath…

…I'll be by your side. Know that.

Therapy's not enough.

I need to be reborn.

I don't understand.

Is that it?

Are you done talking?

I'm done.

Good.

-Let go of me. Let go! -Devin. Wait. Come here.

Come. Come here.

Aslan, move.

Look. Okay. I understand you.

Devin, I understand your grief. I understand your pain.

I understand everything about you, but I lost my baby too.

We both lost it. You're not the only one. You get that?

But I have to stay strong.

I have to stand strong in front of everyone. I have to hold it together for everyone. Right?

We're shattered.

We're broken. Crushed. In pieces.

But I don't have the luxury of showing my pain. Do I?

I need you, sweetheart.

I need to help you heal. I need to be by your side.

Then what, Aslan?

Huh?

Are we gonna have a house with pink shutters, raise a bunch of kids,

and just wait for them to die too?

I was becoming a killer. A killer.

I was killing someone because I was in love.

What's so hard to understand about that, for God's sake?

I'm scared, man. I'm scared.

I'm scared of myself.

Alright. Fine. Okay.

Doesn't matter. Let us die. Let us rot. Who cares?

Why do the people we love have to die?

Why do they have to die just because we're in love?

Forget love.

If that's love, I want no part of it.

You can tell the rest to my lawyer.

Did you just say "lawyer"?

Yes. The person handling the divorce.

Aslan, don't do this. Why are you doing this? Don't.

What am I doing? I didn't--

I didn't do anything.

You're following me.

I'm going to my room.

I don't get it.

I mean

this much anger really does harm a person.

What's your plan anyway? What are you doing?

Leaving. Thanks to you.

Alright. Fine. Just be careful. The roads are a mess.

Just saying. Be careful, okay?

God. God. God.

Yes?

You didn't forget about tonight's event, right?

It's the foundation's donation gala.

Nope. Didn't forget. It's on my mind. And have fun.

What do you mean "have fun"? You?

It means I'm not coming.

Maybe you should drop this whole donation thing.

Because no amount of money you raise will ever clear Yusuf Soykan's name.

Stop talking nonsense, Aslan.

You don't have the luxury of skipping tonight.

Already did. I'm out of town right now.

In fact, I'm with Devin.

And she sends her regards.

Tell Havva to get our room ready ASAP.

We're coming to stay tomorrow.

Alright then.

Aunt Hülya.

Aunt Hülya.

I had a request to make about my parents.

There's some girl or something

Are you drinking again?

Aslan on one side, you on the other. You both chased after two ***.

You burned yourselves.

Get out of my sight!

Yes, Mom?

Mom, don't do this. Please don't. I'm begging you, don't. What marriage?

I swear I don't know her. Elif whoever, I don't know her. Don't!

Alright, Mom. I've got work now. I'll call you later. Okay?

Okay.

Okay. Bye.

The person you're trying to reach is not accepting calls.

I'm listening, Ilkay.

There's been a deposit into my account.

Yes. I just transferred it.

Plane tickets to England. Lodging.

Whatever's needed, use that money.

But Mrs. Hülya, Devin hasn't even accepted the offer yet.

Devin is currently with Aslan.

This is our last chance to make it happen.

Just do what I said.

Double six. Hit.

Hold up.

One. Hold it like that.

It fits better in your hand that way.

Two. Lütfü. Yeah?

Three. Four. Good. Keep going.

Bro.

Sebayüdü.

The streets of Marseille are paved with stone, right Lütfü?

You're so lucky.

Man, we studied this. Lütfü, keep going.

Your wife's leaving.

She's not. Play.

How is she not leaving?

-She's clearly going. -Man, she's not.

Her system works differently. Now that I told her "go"

she can't. It's against her nature.

Keep going. You rolled a six.

Hold on a sec.

She's coming back.

Let her.

Why am I leaving?

You leave.

Me?

Nope. I'm perfectly fine here.

I'm staying. But clearly you've packed your bags.

If you want to go, I can let you. Yeah?

Lütfü, keep going.

Aren't you leaving now?

I came here to relax. To take a little vacation. Alright?

Because the last two months have been hell for me.

We opened a marina in Istanbul.

Come by when you're free. Have some tea or coffee.

You're welcome anytime.

Keep going. Your turn.

Double six.

Look.

That's one.

You're using reverse psychology.

That's two.

You told me to leave.

You knew I'd do the opposite and stay.

That's three.

At that school you studied at, I'm the one teaching, Aslan Soykan.

That's four.

I'm in.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying.

Take that too.

This game doesn't turn back now.

Whatt did she mean with that reverse psychology stuff?

She's a psychologist. She's doing therapy.

How do psychologists treat people? Just with words?

What else, man? With guns?

Hülya Soykan!

You can't run, Hülya Soykan!

I swear to you!

I'll talk to you before this day is over!

You're going to learn what hell really feels like!

Why are you following me?

Because we need to talk, Mr. Cihan.

You're too pretty to talk.

Good thing I like listening.

And I like talking.

My name is Serap Varol.

I'm Devin Akın's lawyer.

Ah. I'm her patient.

Former.

I was suicidal once. We had a few sessions.

Then she saw I couldn't do it

She shot me in the back.

The bullet's still in there. Want me to show you the wound?

It's nice when someone's at peace with their scars,

but I'm not here about your wound.

I'm here because you're Devin Akın's husband's brother.

Former.

Former brother.

Another scar.

But I know about that too.

Maybe the pain from that scar

will convince you to testify in our favor, Mr. Cihan.

Alright. Let me summarize.

Lawyer

wants Cihan

to testify for the person who shot him.

Right?

No. The correct summary is this:

The lawyer thinks that after everything that's happened,

Cihan might want to hurt the Soykans.

Shall we speak plainly?

Who are you?

Really.

This might be hard to settle verbally.

Let's try writing it down.

Maybe reading will help you understand better.

I'm Devin Akın's lawyer. Here's my card. My name is Serap Varol.

Pleasure.

I'm Sıdkı Sıyrılmış.

I'm seriously fed up with all this.

Only thing left untouched is behind my ear. Looks like you're after that too.

You can't die from that wound.

Wow, Ibrahim.

They've been running a full-on perception op on you for years.

For 40 years it's been "his hand shook,"

"he missed the shot", all kinds of nicknames.

My man.

Truth has this nasty habit of coming out eventually.

And now this truth is out too.

Ibrahim Soykan is not the kind of man who would ever kill a woman.

We didn't think that about Yusuf Soykan either.

But now everyone sees who's who.

That video they watched, that was just the trailer.

They'll all come to me one by one. They'll kiss my hand.

They'll learn who the real pillar of this family is.

-Exactly. -Alright. Let's get back to work.

Bozo.

Yes, Turgut?

Ibo is up to something. Just letting you know.

Like what? What could he be doing that I don't know about?

Anything new? Tell me, Tugi.

Swear to God, he just showed up at the marina with two guys who look like horse thieves.

They're on a boat. Okay? They're definitely up to something at the marina.

Just so you know.

Alright. Don't let those guys back into the marina.

I got it.

Any news about my mother?

Iskoç's checking Hülya's bank activity right now.

You know how you always say, "Follow the money"? Like that.

Tolga?

Last spotted in Beyoğlu.

We're on his tail. We'll find him.

Alright. Anything else?

Else… Oh! We got a broadcast ban on the video.

Also, Aslan, there's that Murat Dalkılıç thing.

His manager called.

He paid--

He hung up.

I can't believe this.

One little thought out loud and our lives fell apart.

He's obsessed, man. The boss is obsessed with me.

Why are you reacting so strongly?

It just makes me more suspicious.

Just say "I didn't leak the video." Done.

You'll see. There's something else behind this video mess.

Just thinking out loud.

Oh, by the way, by the way

we got a broadcast ban on the video. Just so you know.

Ah, great news.

I'm thrilled. Seriously. Brilliant move.

Are you mocking me?

Aslan, I was trending yesterday. Trending!

Alright. Fine. Congrats then.

Is that a child crying?

Oh.

Sweetheart.

What happened to you? Why are you crying?

Little lady, why are you crying, my dear?

Your mother…

Aren't your mother and dad here?

Are you lost?

No. I ran away.

Ran away from where?

The wedding. My brother's wedding.

Wow. Who runs away from their brother's wedding?

What's that in your hand?

The bride's veil. I stole it.

Why did you steal it?

So they wouldn't get married. I hate that bride.

Alright, I get it.

You're trying to be a proper sister-in-law, huh?

But let me tell you something

They can still get married without that thing in your hand, you know?

No. They can't.

There's no such thing as a bride without a veil.

Oh, are you jealous of your brother? Poor thing.

What a pretty tiara you've got.

She's going to steal my brother from me.

Oh, no way. That's not happening.

Who knows what he's doing right now without you?

Can someone even get married without their family's support?

Right? Proven by experience.

Are you married?

-Yes. -No.

It's a bit complicated, sweetheart.

So, let's see, where's this wedding of yours?

Let's take you there. People must be worried by now.

No way. I'm not telling. I'm not going back there.

Nope. No more running away.

Since we're all mad right now, you know what we'll do?

We're gonna crash that wedding.

They can't get married without you.

Alright? Deal? You in?

-I'm in! -Then let's go. Come on!

You know what? You're a real role model. I'm impressed.

So what are we gonna do when we get there?

I mean, I can't think of everything, Aslan Soykan.

So, little miss sparkle, why are you so jealous of your brother?

Because he's supposed to love only me.

Well, look at you.

What's your name?

Hülya.

Ah!

Well then…

Alright. That works.

-Here. -Alright, Mrs. Hülya.

You were the last thing I needed.

Mrs. Hülya, a large donation just came in to the foundation.

In the name of Nedret Soykan and her son Bedri Çakır.

-If they're attending the gala-- -They're not.

Refund the donation down to the last cent through my account.

-Alright? -Yes, ma'am.

Everything's ready, Mrs. Hülya. I've booked the plane tickets too.

Hülya dear.

Ugh. I keep saying "don't do this every time." "Just donate," I say.

"No, Mom. We'll do both," they say.

Hülya dear, is what they're saying in that video true?

We were so shocked. We didn't believe it, of course.

It's a lie, Vesile dear. A lie. Of course not. A lie.

Did Mr. Mehmet call you?

They did. They'll definitely come.

What are you doing to my face?

Just a little something. Mom, stop!

-Mom. -Hmm?

What'll happen when you start working?

We've gotten so used to you.

Nothing will happen, sweetheart.

You'll be at school during that time.

And I'll come visit you during lunch breaks.

But work is important.

We could ask uncle for money. He'd give it.

Zeyno.

What did we say, sweetheart? Hmm?

We're not taking money from anyone.

We're building our own life now. Right?

Deal?

Deal.

Then…

Here comes the kiss monster!

Mom!

Come here!

Oh wow, you're bright red, Kaya.

Wait, someone's at the door. Hold on.

You guys keep painting.

We'll hang it on the wall, alright? I'll be right back.

We're gonna be so embarrassed. Look at this mess.

Leyla Soykan Sayıcı.

Yes?

I just need your signature here.

Here you go.

Have a good day.

Leyla Soykan Sayıcı

due to alcohol and substance abuse and current mental health condition,

is deemed incapable of caring for Kaya Sayıcı and Zeynep Sayıcı,

and of providing the necessary care for her children.

The defendant struggles to meet her own daily needs.

Mom, what's going on?

Nothing.

Go play.

I'll be right there.

Okay.

Cemre.

Cemre, yes. Hi. One second.

If you're free tonight, please

could you come over to watch the kids?

I'll come.

Of course I'll come, but are you okay, Leyla? You sound awful.

My mother's suing me.

She wants to take my kids away.

Tolga's nowhere to be found.

And apparently I'm a drug addict. That's the reason.

What?

Okay. Okay. I'm coming right now.

Okay.

When I grow up, I'm not getting married. I'm not falling in love either.

Don't make such bold statements, Little Hülya.

Love is the most beautiful thing in the world.

What's it like?

What's it like?

Alright then, let's hear it.

Let me put it this way.

What do you love most in the world?

Chocolate!

Bravo. Then imagine this

Imagine you're swimming in a giant pool of chocolate.

Actually, let's go bigger.

Imagine you're swimming in a massive chocolate ocean.

How's that?

Really?

But what do we do, Hülya dear? We wear floaties when we swim.

Because what could happen? We could drown, right?

But now, Little Hülya, if you only swim with floaties, what won't you learn?

Here's a question. Answer?

You won't learn how to swim.

Right?

So you're saying "we drown if we must"?

No. I'm saying "I'll hold you."

Who's gonna hold you?

If it's not too much trouble, maybe you'll lend a hand.

Or if you're like "Nope. I'm not touching this,"

then I'll wrestle the giant chocolate waves for both of us.

So, are we sticking with the chocolate sea metaphor?

What am I supposed to say

in front of our little girl?

Should I have said chocolate volcano?

Why are you laughing?

Turns out I didn't need to be so jealous of my brother.

Oh yeah? Why's that?

Because they're not as in love as you two are.

I didn't say it. She did.

Yes.

Little Hülya, I think the sound's coming from this way, right?

Let's go this way. Come on.

Let's go.

I'm coming.

Give me your hand.

We're going the right way, right?

Devin, how are you, sweetheart?

I'm fine. What's up?

Nothing. Nothing really. I just saw that leaked video.

Alright. Thanks. Appreciate it.

I had a doctor's appointment tomorrow too. I'm out of town.

You pulled a lot of strings for that doctor. Thank you.

You're welcome. I didn't do much.

She's right here with me now.

Devin.

The other doctors said it was a uterine infection, but

I think it's more serious, sweetheart.

This kind of infection is common in traumatic miscarriages like yours.

Your hormone test results will be ready tomorrow morning.

It's better to talk after that.

Okay. Got it.

Alright. Great. Once the results are in tomorrow,

I'll call and talk to her. Don't worry.

Thanks for your concern, but pity is the last thing I want right now.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I'm not pitying you. I just want to help.

Okay. Thanks. I understand. Thanks again. Talk soon. Bye bye.

How was it?

I'm trying to get her used to it, but she keeps brushing me off.

Sometimes facing the truth isn't easy, Ergun.

Especially in a situation like this.

She says I shouldn't pity her.

But I do.

If she'd listened to me from the start and ended the pregnancy,

none of this would've happened.

It's a shame. Truly a shame.

Anyway. Come on.

Ugh, sis…

Still no word from the buyer?

Nope. Unfortunately.

Once it's confirmed, everyone will know.

They're calling.

Hello?

I was waiting to hear from you.

You know our option is about to expire.

Hmm.

I see. Of course.

Of course.

Of course. You're right.

I understand. Talk soon.

That's it!

-We sold it! -I knew it!

Congratulations.

Thank you. We sold it.

Congrats.

Thanks.

They're over there.

Huh? Alright then.

Oh, thank goodness. Wait.

Thank God.

Where have you been, honey?

Where were you, sweetie?

-We were worried sick. -You really scared me.

Thank you. Come here.

Hello.

Hello, brother.

Did you find her?

-Hello, yes. -Thank you so much.

-Really, thank you. She scared us. -Much appreciated.

We were talking about you nonstop.

-Thanks again. -She scared us.

May God bless your marriage. Congratulations.

-Wishing you happiness. -Thank you so much.

See you then, Boncuk.

Have fun, you two.

Oh no, come on. We won't let you leave.

-No, thank you. We-- -We've got things to do.

We really need to go. Sorry about that.

But you found our Hülya. Let us host you.

-That's very kind. Thank you. -But we…

Look, it's starting now.

-Don't leave! -Turn up the music, please!

Guys, look, it's starting.

Please.

Well then…

Maybe half an hour…

What can we do? Let's stay for half an hour, yeah?

Let's have some fun.

Of course, of course. You're welcome.

Make yourselves at home. Please.

Thanks.

Sweetheart.

Heh.

So where are we sitting?

Where?

Are you guys celebrities?

No, uncle. Just regular folks.

Are you married?

-Yes. -No.

It's a bit complicated, auntie.

Alright, alright. That's fine.

If we've gone from "no" to "complicated," that's perfect.

What should I have said? "Future ex-wife"?

Look, let me tell you something.

Don't trust that lawyer of yours too much, alright?

Don't fight, my dears.

Kiss. Make love.

Drink, sweetheart, drink. Lemonade.

Drink. You'll choke.

Auntie, what kind of lemonade is this?

Blondie, you drink too.

Oof!

Whoa, auntie, this is strong.

Of course it is.

It's the secret to 49 years of marriage.

See? How else would I put up with this?

Gotta wet the beak somehow.

What's your secret, uncle?

-Huh? -Oh!

Yeah!

That's great.

Uncle, I figured out your secret.

Clear and simple.

Come on, sweetheart. Get up.

Blondie, come on. You too.

No, auntie. We're not really in the mood today, thanks.

Well, alright then. Drink up.

Go on, drink.

Come on now.

Devin!

As the Soykan Family, in memory of my late husband Yusuf Soykan,

we want to support this project to give voice to the girls of this country

with a contribution of 50 million lira.

Don't be afraid, Mom. I'm here.

Your daughter is here.

Hello. I'm Leyla Soykan.

First, I want a big round of applause for this beautiful mother.

Not just for her own children,

but for all children, she works tirelessly.

A big round of applause for my beautiful mother.

Do you remember, Mom?

I used to be just like that little girl.

Full of life, but clueless about what to do.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be the mother or the wife I am today.

You were always by my side.

You were always my teacher.

I learned from you, for example,

to say "I drank cranberry sherbet" while bleeding inside.

What's good and what's bad.

That a woman's sole and most important duty is motherhood.

That when the arm breaks, it should stay hidden inside the sleeve, I learned that from you.

That a woman's place is beside her husband.

That having a child can fix a broken marriage, I learned that from you.

But above all else,

do you know what the most important thing I learned from you was, Mom?

Silence.

Yes. Silence.

Because I was afraid of you, Mom.

Because for you, fear was the quickest way to teach.

So I feared you and stayed silent.

But I won't be silent anymore.

Because I'm not afraid of you or this army of hypocrites.

-Thank you to Leyla Soykan for her speech-- -Don't you dare!

I'm not finished speaking yet.

Look at me, Mom--

Look at me, Mom.

If you wanted to give girls a voice,

why did you try to silence me?

Why did you silence me for years?

If you wanted girls to be free, why did you trap me in your world?

But it doesn't matter. It's okay.

I forgive you. Really, I do. I forgive you.

The veins in my brain were tangled like yarn, you know?

And that problem was solved with a single surgery.

But there's no surgery yet to fix your corrupted way of thinking.

So take those thoughts and keep them to yourself.

You won't poison my children. You can't take them from me.

If you touch them, look, that's when…

That's when I won't forgive you.

That's when I'll destroy you.

Hülya, where are you going?

What are you going to do, Hülya?

Drive to Leyla's house.

I don't care, Çağrı. This ends now.

My grandchildren can't live with that woman any longer.

We're going the wrong way.

When have we ever gone the right way?

Cihan?

Yes, Cihan.

Your former son. Your new enemy, Cihan.

Stop the car.

Don't do anything stupid. Stop.

Get a grip. What are you doing?

Well, I said we'd talk, didn't I? So we're talking.

You've caused enough trouble. What do you want now?

I want to know. To know.

Why?

Why did you ruin my life?

Why did you do this?

What did I do, huh? Ungrateful brat.

If it weren't for me, you'd be dead by now. Dead.

Why interfere with God's will? You should've let me die.

I never treated you differently from my own children.

But what did you do, huh? You shot my son. My son.

And now I'm the guilty one?

My son this, my son that.

This isn't the time or place for that song, alright?

You and your husband teamed up and destroyed my family.

You ruined my life.

Now you'll face the consequences of your sins.

I've got nothing to face.

And I'm not afraid of you. You can go straight to hell.

Oh really?

Fine. Then hell it is.

Are you ready, Hülya Soykan?

Are we ready for hell?

-Stop. -Louder.

-Stop. -Louder.

Stop!

You'll wish you hadn't told me to stop.

You'll wish I had died right there.

Humans are the only animals who live knowing they'll die.

They know they'll die, but they still want to live.

To do that, they need something. Something. Like…

Like hope.

Do you know what yours is?

Power.

And of course, money.

Put Aslan at your door if you want.

Or a thousand guard dogs.

Doesn't matter.

I'll take your power,

and your money.

Everything you have, I'll take it all.

Everything.

And then do you know what?

You'll be left as a pathetic, powerless woman.

In a nursing home.

*** in some corner.

*** dying on some bed.

Welcome to hell,

Hülya Soykan.

This morning at the hotel…

…you said watching that video took you back to the beginning.

♪ Haven't you checked the calendar? ♪

You were right.

♪ The years are passing ♪

Ever since that video surfaced…

…I've been reliving that night over and over.

Every night I lose our baby again.

♪ Some of us are pale, some rebellious ♪

♪ The bitter truth is this ♪

♪ Our lives are like water ♪

Devin.

Never.

♪ Where are the ones we waited for? ♪

♪ I hoped for years ♪

Did I ever tell you?

♪ Pain always runs wild ♪

I really wanted to be a mother.

♪ Still no peace from the nights ♪

♪ Time is late ♪

I probably never said it because…

…I've only just admitted it to myself.

Devin.

-Aslan, don't. -Come here.

-Aslan, please. -Come here.

Aslan, please. Please. Please.

Aslan, don't. Let go.

Let go? Let go of you, huh?

You're joking. Forget it. Forget it. Impossible.

What do you want from me?

What do you want?

I want you to give us one more chance.

Just one more chance.

To make everything even worse?

What could be worse than this?

What could be better?

Better?

We could have a daughter, for example.

Then maybe a son.

Then we could be a family.

We could build our own family, huh?

But it didn't happen, Aslan.

It didn't. We didn't make it.

Don't. Don't force it.

Don't force it. Why are you forcing it?

Sweetheart, I'm in love with you.

I'm in love with you.

I'm in love with every part of you. Got it?

Look… Look, we could've done it, okay? We were so close.

I saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

I saw it.

We lost it somehow, but even if it's buried seven layers deep in hell…

I'll chase that light. You hear me?

I'll chase that light.

As long as you're by my side.

-Don't. -Come here.

-Don't. -Come.

Aslan, don't.

Please, don't.

As long as you're by my side, okay?

As long as I'm by your side.

Sweetheart, I missed you so much.

I missed you too. That's why, don't. Please don't.

I missed you so much.

This place smells awful, by the way.

Sis, call me when your test results are in.

Devin, did your test results come in?

Hello?

Hello, doctor. This is Devin.

Are you available?

Hello, Mrs. Devin.

Your results came in this morning. You should've received them too.

Yes, I just got the email.

What's the situation?

If you'd like, we can discuss it in person when you're in Istanbul.

No.

Please. I'm available. You can tell me.

Mrs. Devin, according to the results, your AMH levels are quite low.

Meaning?

Meaning your ovarian reserve

indicates that it's unfortunately not possible for you to get pregnant again.

The infection after your miscarriage

especially after such a traumatic miscarriage,

can unfortunately damage the uterus and fallopian tubes like this.

Mrs. Devin?

I'm fine.

Yeah. I'm totally fine.

Actually, I was at a decision point…

I was waiting for a sign.

This was good.

When you're in Istanbul, I'd like to go over the details in person, Mrs. Devin.

Okay. Of course. I'll…

make an appointment. Thank you very much. Take care.

See you soon.

Hello?

Are you sleeping? If you are, I'll call later.

Go ahead.

There's something going on.

You know Devin's psychologist friend Ilkay? The one who's ***?

Hülya made a big payment to him,

but that's not the real issue. There's something else.

Devin is moving to England, Aslan.

You're going to England?

Not going, I'm already going.

What are you saying? Why didn't you tell me yesterday?

You didn't ask.

Wait a minute. Look at me.

You're not going anywhere, right?

This isn't real. Are you messing with me?

Aslan, I'm going. It's London's top clinic. I couldn't pass this up.

Where did this come from?

-Where did this come from? -Where do you think it came from, Aslan?

Maybe because I can't practice my profession here anymore?

Maybe because the video of me shooting someone went viral?

Maybe because my clients are now afraid of me?

And do you know who gave you this job opportunity? Look at me.

Do you know who gave you this opportunity?

-I kn-- -Do you know who?

Your mother.

Wait a second. Hold on. Just stop.

Look at me. What are you doing?

-What are you doing? -Aslan, I'm not--

What are you doing?

Aslan, I'm not doing anything.

Your mother did something good for once.

I went to the interviews, got accepted, and I'm going.

Tell your mother I said thank you.

Wait, is this some kind of prank?

There's something else going on here.

Okay? Look at me.

There's something else going on.

No. There's something else behind this.

-You're going to tell me what it is. -Aslan…

Look, you're going to tell me the truth. Or else…

Or else what, Aslan? You'll lock me in a room?

Don't push me! Don't push me!

Go ahead. Lose it all you want.

Just because we spent one night together, you think everything's fine now?

That's not how the world works. Move.

You don't get to have your "moving to England" world either.

That world doesn't exist. Got it?

What are you going to do? Close the borders?

Hey, not a bad idea.

Aslan, move. Move.

Tell me the truth.

-You want the truth? -Yes.

The truth is that I'm leaving you right now.

Now take that truth and do whatever you want with it. Move.

Every time I looked at Aslan, I'd be reminded I couldn't be a mother.

And he'd never have the family he dreamed of.

We couldn't be apart, but we couldn't be together either.

We'd just keep struggling in the same swamp.

Neither of us had the right to do this to the other.

Did you ever think of telling the truth?

What would've changed if I did, Leyla?

More guilt. More tears.

Everything would've just gotten worse.

I love you so much and I'm always here for you. You know that, right?

I'm so glad you're here.

I love you so much too, Leyla.

Who else knows about your condition?

My father knows, since he arranged the doctor.

Had to tell him.

And you.

No one else knows. And I don't want anyone else to know.

Not my mother, not Yağmur.

All I want is to leave this place

and start my life over from scratch.

Come on, run, run, run!

Devin, look!

Oh, what's this?

Is this for me?

Yes.

We made it for you because you looked sad.

So this is me?

Yes.

Devin, we love you so much. Don't be sad, okay?

I love you all so much too.

I love you so, so, so much.

So this big-nosed lady is supposed to be me?

Huh?

Well…

Go on, draw a new house for Devin.

How are you?

Have you calmed down a bit?

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm losing it.

But I expected it.

She thought I'd get scared and crawl back to the farmhouse.

But you gave her the perfect response, Leyla.

I wish I could've been there yesterday.

She won't stop though.

If I know my mother at all, she won't accept yesterday's defeat.

So our war is just beginning.

I'm so sorry, especially as a mother.

You build your children's throne, but you can't shape their fate.

She said some really harsh things, sweetheart.

But why on earth did you bring up taking the kids, Hülya?

Because I was thinking of my grandchildren.

Of their future.

An alcoholic, a pill addict,

and sadly someone prone to violence cannot care for my grandchildren.

They can't live with them.

Even if it's my own child, I won't show mercy.

Wait, violence? What do you mean?

Even toward the kids?

Unfortunately. What you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

Why do you think a six-year-old boy still doesn't speak, huh?

The timing couldn't be worse, of course.

With all these slanders and videos about Yusuf coming out.

Aslan's devastated. Mostly upset for me.

You should see him, he comes to me whenever he has a moment.

Calls every hour. "Mommy, how are you? Mommy, how are you?"

Welcome, Aslan dear.

-Welcome, Aslan. -Welcome, Aslan dear.

How are you, sweetheart?

Can we talk?

What is it, son? I have guests right now.

Listen…

Listen, I'm not as merciful as Leyla.

I'll strike the match and burn this place down.

Got it? Get inside.

Friends, there's something I need to handle. You go ahead, I'll be right back.

Of course, once she saw Devin wasn't leaving,

she dropped the England bomb to split them up.

Honestly, Hülya is scary. She could split atoms.

Wait, what if she leaked the video?

Though I still suspect Aslan a bit…

I'm torn.

Dude, don't do it. Don't gossip like that.

Man, you're gonna crash the car just to scratch yourself.

I'm stressed, bro. Stressed.

The pressure on me keeps piling up.

What pressure are you even talking about?

Murat Dalkılıç.

I said I'm in a hurry, man.

What don't you understand?

The money's ready. Just get the passport ready.

Come in.

Iskoç, this way.

Hey! Don't run! Don't run! Don't run!

Salaam Alaikum.

Come here. Come. Come here.

We're getting out. Chill, man. We're getting out.

Hurry up!

He ran off, that weasel! He ran!

Come on, let's check his room. Come.

What's that?

How did you find me?

Nice.

Nice?

Yeah, just nicely found you.

How did you pull that money?

Bro, okay. Chill, bro.

Are you addicted to getting slapped?

Okay, okay, I'll talk. I need to run, Cihan.

And I need money to run.

Aslan kicked me out of the country. What can I do? And now Ilyas is after me.

Ilyas? What Ilyas?

Ilyas is alive, Cihan.

They're hiding him like a secret.

Just because I know, they've got people chasing me.

They'll kill me the moment they find me.

Dude, we killed that guy.

-Where is Ilyas? -I don't know.

Cihan bro, I swear on the Qur'an, I don't know.

I swear, I don't know. On the Qur'an.

Alright.

How did you pull the money? Tell me.

Man!

Bro, I… someone from accounting, I got someone on the inside.

Then after the donation night, we withdrew it from the foundation account.

We made fake checks.

We issued fake invoices.

Under the name of that project.

We withdrew it.

Alright, here's what you'll do.

You'll go to that accountant guy, okay?

About the money laundering, the shady transfers and all that.

Invoices, receipts, whatever, some kind of document.

Got it?

Bring it to me, and I'll give you the money.

What are you staring at? Got it?

Got it.

Got it, ***.

Got it.

Doctor?

I told Sinem. She prepared your room.

Where's your lovely wife?

Do you know what happened last night?

Clearly you heard from Leyla.

But did you hear from Cihan?

He showed up yesterday. Stole my car. Nearly killed me.

Last night, I was dying.

Because you weren't with me, I was dying last night.

Devin's going to England.

So?

I know you're behind it.

I know about your partnership with Ilkay.

I know you arranged that clinic in London.

Look, I know everything. You know what's strange?

What's strange is Devin knows too, and she's still going.

Come here. Come. Come here.

Come. Sit down.

Come on.

Why are you doing all this? Why?

Didn't you love me more than life itself?

Is it because I married someone you didn't approve of?

Because I loved someone you didn't?

What are you doing? Just tell me.

Your son loved someone. You should've said, "Maybe I can love her too."

I love you so much… Look at me.

I love you so much, why are you doing this to me?

Why are you poisoning me with your love every day?

Huh? Weren't you the one who said you loved me more than life?

You said it was for family.

That if we couldn't earn their love, we'd settle for their hate.

So go ahead, hate me now if you want.

But know this.

You're hurting now, but it's going to hurt a thousand times more.

Not just you. That girl will hurt too.

I could cancel the England thing with one phone call, but what would change, huh?

What would change?

You made each other live through hell.

Wasn't that enough?

I lived through the same hell. With your father.

I lost my family. I lost my innocence.

I lost myself.

Now that history is repeating itself…

I can't lose you.

I won't let that happen.

You're everything to me.

I can't lose you.

Mom…

Don't worry.

From now on, you won't lose anyone.

From now on, as a family

we'll grow even closer to each other.

Whether through love or hate.

So?

Did you call me to pack boxes?

Or to finish what you started yesterday?

Cihan, I…

I'm truly sorry.

Believe me, I haven't been able to breathe properly for two months.

I'm so, so, so sorry.

I'm a wreck.

But you know what's worse?

If it happened again, I'd do it again. I know that.

I'm moving to England.

I got accepted to a really good clinic.

Ah, so you called me to say goodbye.

And in the place where it all began.

And England, huh?

-Does Aslan know? -He knows.

Then be careful.

Plane tickets, place to stay, everything's ready.

I'm really going, Cihan.

Leaving someone you loved enough to shoot for

must be really hard.

Cihan, do you

forgive me?

You're the only one who ever truly listened to me.

Thank you.

Come on.

So…

You found yourself quite the lawyer.

What lawyer?

How many beautiful lawyers do you have?

Did Ms. Serap talk to you?

Yeah.

She asked me to testify. Didn't you send her?

No. I didn't ask her to do that.

Then she must be the ambitious type.

Still, ambitious lawyers are good.

They are.

So…

If you can't go, or if you come back…

I'll be around, okay? Just so you know.

Thank you so much, Cihan.

Come here.

Take care of yourself, okay?

You too.

Safe travels.

Welcome, Aslan.

We've got a few problems.

Those guys from the Ibo gang I told you about

we didn't let them in like you said,

but Ibo snuck them in by sea.

And that weasel Tolga slipped away at the last second.

A storm's coming, boys.

There's something off in those eyes, I'm telling you.

They finally drove the man mad.

Yes, I spoke with Mr. Cihan.

What's so strange about that, I don't get it.

Maybe because you didn't inform me?

Or maybe because I never asked you to?

Do you really want to get divorced, Mrs. Devin?

Then let me do my job.

Unless you'd prefer to find another lawyer.

Up to you. I won't take it personally.

We'll either never get along,

or we'll get along very well.

They say Leo and Taurus get along.

You're a Leo, right?

But getting along with Mr. Aslan will be very difficult.

Unless you have something that could change the game.

Like what?

That leaked video.

It wasn't taken from the case file.

It wasn't leaked by an outsider.

I think it was someone trying to inflict psychological harm.

I think it's someone from the family.

His mother loves that kind of thing.

Your husband?

Doesn't he?

Aslan wouldn't stoop to something so low and dirty.

-You never know. -It wasn't Aslan, Ms. Serap.

Getting divorced when you still love someone must be hard.

But if you truly want to divorce, you'll need to give me something

that will make my job easier and destroy the Soykans.

I don't want to destroy anyone's life.

I just want to get divorced and move on with my life, Ms. Serap.

I'll do the best I can, Mrs. Devin.

I wish you a beautiful life in London.

Thank you.

Talk soon.

Nice move.

You stirred up the whole family.

Welcome, Mr. Cihan.

But I'm not sure what you mean.

There's a film I starred in too.

It caused a huge stir. You must've heard.

The Soykans.

You leaked that film online.

Aslan, we finally got the report from the camera guys.

On the day of the incident, the system was accessed externally.

It might not have been an internal leak.

Someone accessed the cameras remotely.

Devin is leaving.

What, Aslan?

Devin is leaving.

What's he saying?

He says Devin is leaving.

Speak.

There's one more thing.

We found this in Tolga's room.

He left a letter.

He wrote: "If I die, the ones responsible are Aslan Soykan and Ilyas Koruzade."

So…

…Ilyas Koruzade might still be alive.

Get out.

Get out now.

Elephant hunters have used

traditional methods for centuries that require deep knowledge to track elephants.

One of those methods is the pit trap.

First, they dig a large pit.

Then they cover it with brush and wait.

A long wait.

Why did you do it?

Why did you leak the video?

To make my client's case easier.

Yeah, sure. I believe that.

You pressed a button.

Or rather

you and the person you're working with pressed it together.

Nice move.

But not enough.

The button you're looking for is with me.

To destroy the Soykans, you have to bankrupt them.

Got it?

I think you misunderstood, Mr. Cihan. I'm Mrs. Devin's lawyer.

I'm not here to destroy the Soykans.

I know you, Serap.

I know who you are.

Welcome, lawyer.

Careful now, no eye contact. We avoid eye contact while speaking, okay?

Why?

He's been strange lately. Doesn't talk.

Only speaks when absolutely necessary.

What do you mean he doesn't talk?

What does he do then? Watches documentaries, lawyer.

Or maybe I shouldn't interfere.

If you need to talk, then talk. Look him in the eyes, okay?

It's important. We definitely need to talk.

Lawyer, do what you can. Let's hope for the best.

-Welcome, Mr. Çağrı. -Thank you.

But today, environmental concerns

and animal protection efforts

have raised awareness against such hunting methods.

Wildlife…

Mr. Aslan.

Mr. Aslan, we received intel from our sources at the courthouse.

A major investigation is being launched

against the family for money laundering.

With their massive bodies

and long, curved tusks, elephants

possess the ability to shape their environment.

From stripping bark off trees

to digging irrigation channels, they carry out many vital tasks.

The ability to shape their surroundings…

Ilyas Koruzade might still be alive.

And that weasel Tolga slipped away at the last second.

No more "brother" talk!

There's something else going on here.

The truth is, I'm leaving you right now!

You're hurting now, but it's going to hurt a thousand times more.

Not just you. That girl will hurt too.

Do you know anything about the video that just leaked?

A major investigation is being launched

against the family for money laundering.

Ilyas Koruzade might still be alive.

Just because we spent one night together

you think everything's over?

What are you going to do now, huh? Close the borders?

Iskoç!

I'm here, Aslan.

Call the lawyer.

Yeah. He's on his way. He just called from the parking lot.

He's asking if you're free. He said he's got something to tell you.

When was Devin going to England?

This weekend.

Hello Mr. Aslan. If you're available, I have things to tell you.

I've got questions for you too, Çağrı.

Do you know how elephant hunters take down those giant elephants?

Ever heard of that? Let me tell you.

Did you grab your charger?

I'm getting it, Mom. Right now. Got it.

Please don't do this.

Don't. There's no need. It's like we'll never see each other again.

We will, right?

Just look into the residency permit and the visa stuff,

please.

Otherwise I won't be able to take it.

Okay mom, okay. Please don't do this.

Go wash your face. Pull yourself together. You can't be like this.

Aren't you taking this?

The transfer's here. I should go now, Yağmur.

I love you so much. You know that, right?

I love you so much too.

Be careful, okay?

Stay safe. Let me know, alright?

Take care of yourself.

We could've at least driven her.

We offered, Mom. She just doesn't want that.

Why isn't Aslan doing anything, for God's sake?

So it's over? Big, mighty Devin. Is Aslan's love over?

No, Mom. Come on. Come on, let's go inside.

Something's going on. I'm telling you.

-There's something happening. -Oh come on. Just be careful, please.

Unbelievable.

I thought you'd go after Devin.

No. We're not going anywhere.

We've got more important things to do. Let's talk while we eat inside.

By the way, we're in Haringey.

So between the clinic and where we're staying

it's like ten minutes max. And that's walking.

Can we pull over to the right, please?

What happened? Did you forget something?

Could you open the door, please?

Right. I forgot to drop you off.

Devin, are you okay? What are you doing?

I'm going to England, but you're not coming.

Say hi to Mrs. Hülya for me.

Get out.

Devin, look, calm down, okay? I can explain. Just listen, alright?

-Can you get out? Ilkay, get out. -Devin.

Devin, don't. Devin! Devin, will you just listen? Devin!

Did you gather us here just to eat, Aslan?

Son, say something. What's going on?

We're broken.

As a family

like this table, alright? Like this painting

we cracked, shattered, and broke apart.

That's why we're here to talk about this, Mom.

Our family's been broken for a long time, Aslan.

Say something new.

The prosecutor's office

has launched a new investigation against us.

Is that new enough?

This could leave us penniless.

Could rot us in prison for years.

It's a money laundering investigation.

If we can't be united, if we can't be a family,

if we can't hold on tight to each other

we won't survive this investigation.

Like I said, we've already shattered as a family.

And to fix something that's broken

they haven't invented a glue strong enough yet.

Who's behind this, Aslan?

Mr. Cihan.

And a few people around Mr. Cihan who could possibly be involved.

But I hope

one of those men around him isn't Ilyas.

Because Ilyas is still alive.

Son, what are you saying?

What are you saying, Aslan?

A good cleanup

fixes everything.

Mom.

The ones who released that video and started that investigation. They're the ones haunting us.

Enjoy your meal…

…Dad.

Enjoy your meal.

All of us.

They say if you've got no enemies, not even a brother, not even a relative, well, now you do.

Here. Now you've got one.

This table and this family are broken. Shattered to pieces.

And what's left for the former brothers…

…is to become enemies.

What are we gonna do, Aslan?

We're going to prepare.

We're going to prepare like we're going to war.

We'll become a family again, but not like before.

We'll be a real family.

I'm talking about being a real family.

I'm talking about locking arms, holding each other tight.

With love. With passion. And if those two don't work, then hell, with hatred.

As long as we don't let go of each other.

As long as we hold on tight to each other's hands.

What's going on over there?

Do you know how elephant hunters take down those giant elephants?

Ever heard of that?

Look, I'll tell you.

Now

if this investigation opens

will they issue a travel ban?

That's why I came, Mr. Aslan.

We've accessed the case file. It looks serious.

It would be wise to go to the prosecutor's office and have a preliminary meeting.

Without dragging the whole family into it…

No. No. It's going to drag in.

It's going to drag in. This thing is going to drag in the whole family, alright?

And we're not going to any prosecutor's office or whatever.

Who even are you? Yusuf!

-Yusuf. -What's going on?

Then they'll come and take us one by one. First my mother.

Then my uncle.

Then me.

They'll take us all one by one.

Let's go, everyone.

I'm asking you again.

If this investigation opens, will they issue a travel ban?

Yes, but if we can buy some time, we might be able to get out of this.

No. It's happening now. This isn't about time.

It's happening now, alright?

In fact, I want my precious wife to be included in this investigation too.

Because this family won't pull itself together any other way. You get me?

Do you

know how elephant hunters take down those giant elephants?

Ever heard of that? Look, I'll tell you.

So these honorless bastards go out there

they dig a huge pit in the forest, alright?

A deep pit.

Then they cover it up completely.

And they wait in ambush.

A baby elephant comes along. Falls into the pit.

Then they dress in pitch-black clothes.

They go down into the pit.

Right next to that elephant.

They torture it in ways you couldn't even imagine.

Until that baby elephant loses all hope in life.

Then they climb back out.

They leave.

This time, they dress in pure white clothes and go back into the pit.

Pretending to rescue the elephant.

The elephant sees them in those white clothes.

That baby elephant.

Then it thinks, these are the ones who came to save my life.

Yes. It says, I'll devote myself to them for life.

I'll be their slave.

Now let me ask you something.

Do you think that baby elephant…

…deserves that?

Nope.

But people do.

They deserve even worse.

That's why this investigation will open.

Everyone's statement will be taken one by one.

This family needs an elephant hunter to finally learn its lesson.

Alright then. We'll give them one.

Bring me my suit from inside. The black one.

Welcome.
