Previously...

He poured honey on the man's head?

He put it in honey, to prevent decomposing.

He sent it just because he wanted to.

Remember what he said on the recording?

"Why wait? I do whatever I want."

Who brought the box?

It came with a courier, Lieutenant.

He's entering the Harbiye door at 22.32 p.m.

And leaves in one minute.

We make the patient sleep. The patient is sleeping.

So, when would the guy get up, Doc?

It's from the body's stomach.

Autopsy continues, but they sent it, because it's important.

Have you ever saw something like that?

A dervish mirror.

Meeting in two different ways in a short time...

...an interesting coincidence.

They say coincidences are God's way of revealing himself.

So you started to memorize the same things again.

Yes. It wouldn't hurt if you read them too.

Why do I need you for if I have to do everything myself, British?

-Blessed evening. -Blessed evening.

-Blessed evening. -Blessed evening.

Peace be with you, Mr. Brother-in-law.

I'm here to take Semiha.

Would it be so bad if you say hello in the name of God, first?

Just cut it short, Sadettin.

You haven't lost your wit.

Magnificent, you didn't change a bit.

But this place changed a lot.

If your afterlife is in danger when you're not wealthy...

...why don't we know about it?

God forbid. Only Allah knows that.

Our duty is to... -Enough of your bullshit...

...I'll just take Semiha and go.

Semiha!

I'm calling you, Semiha!

This is not the place, Mr. Brother-in-law.

And it would be a disgrace before our some distinguished guests.

Biology Specialization Department

Yours is already done.

I waited for you too long, but you didn't come.

I hope you received the gift I sent you.

Anyway, you came just in time for the best part.

Artist souls have different ways...

...of transforming their libido into creative energy.

Verdi composed "Nabucco" when he was 28.

This man lying here is also 28.

The victim is a male, married with two children...

...in the bathroom of his house...

...sitting, his back against the wall...

...his legs is extended before him...

...wearing a white blouse...

...and a flowery skirt...

Used a white rope to hang...

...and a magic marker with two centimeters diameter...

...have been put in the anus all the way in...

And so on, so on...

Does it sound familiar?

Autoerotic asphyxiation.

Bravo.

If you do this job for years like me, cases become ordinary.

But asphyxiations are always very fascinating.

Suffocating yourself to increase sexual pleasure.

To reach the pleasure's climax when you're closest to death.

How fascinating, isn't it?

Every year, thousands of people are coming...

...too close to death and they can't return.

Like this young man here.

Behind the creative act...

...it lies the desire to find back the completeness feeling...

...that has been built during the narcistic stage...

...between mother and child and lost later.

Every artist go after this desire.

There is another way to reach this feeling of completeness...

Death.

When you're closest to death, you're closest to this feeling.

Verdi or...

...this young man...

...they're both after this feeling of completeness.

And in my opinion...

...they're both extraordinarily creative.

And I admire both of them.

To this young man who wasn't as lucky as his peer Verdi...

...but turned himself an artwork...

...maybe even more so.

And you?

Don't you admire killers you're after in the same way?

Because they're after this feeling of completeness...

...not by dying, but by killing...

...and doing that in a creative way...

...don't they deserve at least a little admiration?

I talked too much, aren't I?

Whatever...

Your Abdullah Ceren...

As we've guessed...

...the same cutler.

But he kept the body in ice, not in honey.

It seems he didn't have that much honey to use.

The body is defrosted only a few days ago.

Nejat.

That eye of yours was an extra anyway.

I can give the good one to you.

You need it so much.

What's up, Doc? You smelled woodcock?

Istanbul Training and Research Hospital

What is it?

You said he woke up, Doc?

Yes, he woke up, but...

...there was an unexpected aneurysm hemorrhage.

We didn't saw that coming.

Actually...

...we reached the aneurysm by dissection.

Preserving the perforating artery...

...and posterior cominican artery there...

...the bleeding artery on the left PICA exit...

I got it, got it. It's the will of God.

We dealt with the aneurysm, but unfortunately, we lost the patient.

Excuse me.

It wasn't a bad operation.

What's the complication rate on such cases?

Well, probably... We expect...

...intraventricular hemorrhage in the first 24 hours...

...for half of the traumatized and bleeding cases.

Okay, we're coming.

-It's an interesting case. -Doc, excuse us.

Kids found the courier Santa. Let's see what's in his bag.

Doc?

Keep in touch.

You got upset when you saw that black boy.

Listen, you're British and all, but it seems...

...you got some downside of this country from your grandfather.

You're tender-hearted.

What about the theological school? Is there any news?

Multiple organ failure...

...caused by recurring intraventricular hemorrhage.

We have to demand an autopsy.

What?

I said, we have to demand an autopsy.

Do you collaborate with Arap, British?

It wasn't enough you caused the kid to die...

...now you you want to dissect him?

Maybe Moussa knew something we shouldn't know.

Didn't you tell me, this kid knew nothing?

Why is he valuable to you now?

Maybe I'm wrong.

Anybody could give that poor kid a couple bucks...

...and use him as a courier.

It's obvious that they just used him to bring that book to the library.

He comes back to life from Glaskow scale three.

He wakes up, all indications are positive.

All doctors are there.

And suddenly... -You're surprised by his death...

...but not that he revives?

How can we explain what happened then?

You don't have to understand everything.

What's that even mean?

It means that...

His life has expired. It's the will of God.

You live what destiny decides.

Nothing more, nothing less.

What, don't you believe fate?

You know everything, I asked a simple question.

What does it have to do with what I'm telling?

Everything has to do with everything.

If you mean a predetermined life-line by fate...

No.

That understanding removes the individual's responsibility...

...to the whole world.

You're evading, British.

I asked your opinion, not what you've learned from books.

Since when you care about my opinion?

I believe that free will exist.

That we can decide our destiny...

...with our decisions and acts, despite everything.

-Despite everything? -Yes.

I wish I can believe that too.

What do you believe?

Me?

I...

I believe in the wrestling.

Even if your tights are old, even if your oponent is tough...

...even if the end is known.

I believe in the wrestling.

Well, who's this dickhead?

Sir, here.

If you look here carefully...

...you see a logo on the trunk. -So?

A company named Epsilon.

It seems they delivering with motorcycle couriers.

But they bankrupted in 2016.

We couldn't reach anybody in charge.

We couldn't find any information about couriers either.

Then, Cihangir found something.

Sir, bikers love their bikes so much.

You can't even know.

Some of them love them as they love their children and family.

Cut it short, Cihangir.

There are some forums on the internet...

...they put their fotos with their bikes...

...and I thought I could find something. Ahmet, open it.

Batın Bosnalı.

He has multiple criminal records for bodily injury and intrusion.

His probation ended last year.

Address?

Cihangir.

Well done.

Thank you, sir.

Why are you banging, damn it! Why are you banging?

What?

Police.

Isn't anybody in there?

Don't kick it if the boy isn't home.

Aunt Hacer can't hear. Just push the button up there.

Thanks.

I didn't think that I meet people like you, coming here.

Yeah, it's a big gain.

-As if we knew each other for years. -Yeah.

Does Batın Bosnalı lives here?

Batın Bo...

Okay, okay, then we'll come to you next weekend.

Okay, great.

But no. We can't do it next weekend.

Stop! Police!

Stop!

Stop!

Stay down! Down!

Now, tell me.

Son, we're very busy. Okay, you wanted to play a game.

We had some fun together.

Now, tell us everything.

Come on, tell us.

Don't shake your fucking leg!

I'll fuck you!

You can't leave here alive, got it?

Speak, boy! Speak!

It was an accident, sir. I swear, it was an accident.

Are you fucking with me?

Are you fucking with me?

He just jumped in front of me, sir, I didn't see him, I swear.

Who jumped in front of you?

The boy.

Don't try the multiple personality psycho act you saw on the movies...

...I'll fuck your every personality!

Sir... I swear, it was an accident, sir.

I swear, I'm innocent, sir. God damn me...

Accident? What kindd of accident is that?

You killed all those people by accident?

You killed them by accident?

What is this, sir?

What's this? These are nothing to do with me, sir, I swear.

Nothing to do with you?

Tell me, who's this? Who's this?

Who's this? I don't know him, sir!

You don't know?

Isn't that your bike?

Isn't that yours?

It's my bike. How did that go there?

It got there fucking flying. Flying.

Listen to me...

My patience is growing thin, think hard, I'll fuck you good.

I'll fuck you real good.

Sir, God help me, I swear.

I thought I'm here because of the boy I hit last night!

What boy? What boy?

Sir, last night a boy jumped in front of me when I was going home.

I didn't know what to do. I swear, I'm innocent.

I swear to God, I'm innocent. Please, sir.

-Let my... Let my arm go! -Don't send me in! I beg you!

-Let go! Get up! -I beg you, sir!

Sir! Sir!

Okay! Let go off me!

Guys, get out.

Get out, out, out.

I'm innocent, sir. So help me God, I'm not guilty, sir.

I'm innocent, sir, I swear.

Batın?

Go sit there. -Get up! Up! Up!

So help me God, I'm not guilty, sir. I swear.

Where were you last night?

At Tunç Hotel, sir.

And then?

Then I came home, sir.

-When? -Around one P.M.

Why were you at Tunç Hotel?

Well, sir...

I have a friend from the neighborhood, since we're kids...

...he's an animator, he puts on shows for tourists...

...and earns some money.

Sometimes he calls me too.

What kind of shows?

Every kind of show, what they like.

Why did he call you?

He called me for semah, sir.

You know, dressing up like dervishes and whirling.

He said one guy was missing, so he called me.

What do you think?

Guys, check what he told.

Hello?

No, I'm not surprised.

Now?

Yeah, I know, by the tunnel.

Deal. I'll be there in half an hour.

It's a nice place.

And they have British ale.

I couldn't think we'd meet in a place like this.

I hope you didn't think I'd drink grape juice or rose syrup...

...because I'm an Islamic history professor.

No, of course not.

I almost forgot...

Fundamental sources on Anatolion sufism.

Thank you very much.

I couldn't think that my years of work...

...would one day be useful to the police.

The killer you're after...

...leaves sufistic symbols by victims...

...like the mirror you showed me?

I can't say "by" them.

Then where? Was it hanging on somewhere?

I can't answer this question.

The confidentiality of the investigation.

I see.

And you?

You're here on a special duty or something?

No, I just...

I decided to continue with my life here.

You said you were raised there.

Yes, I was in England since 13.

Your parents went there for business or something?

Political reasons.

My father escaped because of political reasons.

He tried for years to bringing us there too.

And after six months me and my mom arrived in England, he left us.

I'm sure it wasn't easy.

Well, it was hard.

My mom didn't know a word in English.

Me too, of course.

How long did you stayed in London?

Can we address each other with our first names now?

Sure.

How long did you stayed in London?

I did my master degree and doctorate at LSE.

My house was at Holoway Road.

I was at Highbury and Islington for all my childhood.

Oh, really?

And then I lived at Caledonian Road for a long time.

Do you know Coronet? I love it.

Of course. I was going there when I was a child.

Me too. It was a movie theater once.

I remember it from my childhood.

It was an interesting place.

One of the places that I felt very good when I'm there.

Then to Coronet.

Thanks.

Let that be our last round or I can't teach tomorrow.

Okay, last ones.

If you love London so much, why did you come back?

I mean... For predictable reasons.

Affairs of the heart.

After my doctorate, I came back here for a while.

And I met someone.

I cancelled all of my businesses...

...and we got married with a surprise wedding.

I applied a university here.

But then, it didn't go like we expected.

We broke up.

I'm sorry.

And I couldn't go back to London.

It seems, I got his strong love of country.

And that necklace, I guess.

You surprise me, Detective.

How did you know?

It's my job.

This was his gift.

He bought two of them for us to wear them together.

Why did you say that the last time?

I didn't understand.

I mean, you said that you're sharing my feelings about London.

But for some reason, I think it's just the opposite.

What?

I mean, like you loved it there so much once...

...but now there are things you're trying to forget.

Maybe.

A woman convinced you to come this foreign country?

No. No.

Why then?

I lost my wife and my daughter.

Actually, my wife commited suicide...

...and my daughter...

Kemal, I'm so sorry.

It didn't occur to me, it was something like that.

It's going to be one year on 6th of May.

I wanted to...

...leave everything and move in here...

...where I feel myself the most uncomfortable.

I see.

Here.

Thank you for walking with me.

I'm afraid, he's telling the truth, sir.

Eye witnesses confirmed...

...there was a semah show at Tunç Hotel during that time.

And the suspect was one of the whirling dervishes.

And traffic department reported a similar accident.

The boy is okay, but...

Could you find out who took the bike?

We asked for CCTV records of the hotel, Lieutenant.

When would it come?

Well, the owners of the hotel don't want to be involved in this.

They want an order from the prosecutor.

Have you got it?

I talked to Deputy Prosecutor.

He said Mr. Prosecutor will assess the situation.

Assess the situation?

Is this a child's play?

This is a murder investigation.

I told that, sir. But unfortunately the Prosecutor wasn't in his office.

He's going to a wedding.

A wedding? Would he go in the bridal chamber himself?

It's Mr. Secretary's daughter's wedding, sir.

See?

I'll put a wedding gift one day in that dickhead's ass for sure.

Sir...

-What's this? -We investigated Abdullah Ceren.

We found something that I think you'd want to know.

Three years before Abdullah Ceren went missing...

...he applied to Fatih Province Police for protection.

He claimed that because he wants to buy...

...an abandoned building in Fatih...

...some unknown people are threatining him with his life.

But then he withdrew his complaint.

It seems the victim bought the building after all.

Then a big fire broke out.

Four people died in the fire, and many people got injured.

According to the records, dead are all homeless.

But the building is first grade historical building...

...and it's suspected there was arson.

Yeah, that's it. They did that in half of Istanbul, girl.

What's interesting is news about the incident, sir.

According to these news, this abandoned building...

...was a Mevlevi lodge in the last century...

...and a controversial foundation property.

Don't release that guy until morning, okay?

-Yes, sir. -See you.

Where are you going?

I'll go and get rest.

What do you mean you'll get rest?

It means I'll get rest and get it together.

You're going home when we just got an important lead?

No, I'll go and have a chat with Sultan Akyazılı, first.

I'm tired of this bullshit.

How can you leave when we're so close to shed a light all of this?

What, are you close?

You're close to what?

The guy cuts a head and put it in a box...

...and brings it himself to us...

...and makes us run like dogs on the streets!

You're close to what?

You resented because he made a fool of you?

He wants us to see whatever is his problem.

Everything follows a certain pattern.

We have to understand the killers way of thinking...

...and his motives behind the murders.

All we need to do is to focus on the connection...

...between victims and mystic references.

You think you had come into a fortune...

...because you saw a couple strange things.

I want to crush that dickhead as much as you.

But things are not like what you think here!

How are things here?

I'm here for a month now, and nothing's going on.

I told you before...

You'll learn by being a wrestler!

I'm sick and tired of this bullshit!

The killer commits ritualistic murders...

...and leaves a strange book to be printed in one week...

...but you don't even read it.

If you bothered to read, you'd know it mentioned...

...a Mevlevi lodge burnt by fanatics in 17th century!

Then maybe you wouldn't go to sleep...

...when we have a lead on a burnt lodge at Fatih!

You can't investigate a murder like this.

We can't do anything with that blimpishness and foolishness.

Listen, talk carefully...

Don't drive me crazy!

And those poor guys in there.

Leave it and go if you can't do it.

I saw things you can't even fucking imagine, okay?

Don't look down on me, little brat! Or...

Or what?

Or what? You'd punch me?
