Previously...

Connection between Nusret Işık and Mustafa Diri...

Güneş is Settar's son.

Drugs and all of that kind of shit...

...the boy was just lost.

He was confused and trying to save his son...

...he beat the boy up.

In the end, the boy just jumped from the bridge.

We couldn't even find his body.

I'm wondering, what brought you to my dad's house exactly?

During an investigation some evidences took us to your dad.

Or rather, my guess is...

...the person we're looking for led us to your dad.

Then did you think that We created you uselessly...

...and that to Us you would not be returned?

So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign.

There is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.

You're posing as the big cop.

You're all tough and harsh.

Where is my son now?

Where is my son?

Yes?

When?

Okay, I'm coming right away.

-Hi. -Hi.

Hi.

Sir, excuse me, I have to go back to my duty.

Thank you, dear Filiz. Thank you, girl.

Good day to you. -Thank you.

I'll go too.

Where, Nejat?

Do you have a duty too?

I'll go for my eye dressing.

I'll come back afternoon. Do you want anything?

No, thanks.

But if you see one of those sulky nurses...

...tell them to make me an egg with pastrami.

Will do.

Get better soon.

How do you feel?

Mustn't grumble.

As good as you can get in their hands.

They're going to make me starve to death.

They don't give me anything besides hot barley flakes...

...like I'm an heifer that has stomachache.

And my visitors come empty-handed, unfortunately.

I bought flowers but they didn't let them in.

Thank God.

Sit.

About the other day...

Don't let it go any further.

There is no use to get offended and be heartbroken.

So?

Any news?

We still couldn't get CCTV from Tunç Hotel.

In the mean time we're searching for Batın Bosnalı.

What? He's out?

They released him, because the custody time was up.

Fuck them then.

We got arrest warrant again.

And I sent the audio recording to a friend in London...

As he could gather, the name of a tanker is on the recording.

What's the name?

Kreon.

The ship that crashed...

...at the Anatolian Lighthouse three months ago.

Probably this recording was made somewhere near the Lighthouse too.

So from the radio of the killer...

...we can hear the ship's call for help.

And he was recording during that time.

Now we're looking into the ships and owners at the Lighthouse.

How did this happen?

What happened?

It's the time for bluefish.

I just wanted to eat some.

So I thought I'll go to Chief Çiko.

What a coincidence.

I was there around five p.m.

To go see the boats and that waterfront residence.

See, Kemal, life drags us to the same places...

...even when we're not in touch.

And then?

Then...

Stuff like these.

You called me last night?

Who else should I call, aren't you my partner?

I thought it was suspicious.

Suspicious?

I think of you when my heart was failing...

...and instead of being happy, you're suspicious?

Here comes the welcome choir.

-Hello. -Get well.

-Get well. -Get well.

Good morning.

-Good morning, Lieutenant. -Good morning, Lieutenant.

Did you visit the Captain? How is he?

He's fine. He's in high spirits.

We want to visit him afternoon. If you'll let us.

Sure, you can go, of course.

Lieutenant?

I found a few things...

...about the abandoned lodge I told you the other day.

The lodge saw similar arson attempts in the past.

992/1584.

What is this?

The translation of a padishah order dated 1584, Lieutenant.

On that date a kadi was asked to inspect that lodge.

The neighborhood reported dervishes of that lodge to padishah...

...saying they're disguising themselves as Mevlevis...

...but in truth they're heathens in contact with Safavid Persian.

And the padishah ordered to close them down immediately, of course.

But the dervishes then wrote a petition to the padishah...

...saying the claims are the work of a few greedy people...

...that wants to seize their lodge.

So to which community or foundation belonged the lodge...

...before being sold to Abdullah Ceren? Did you look into it?

We'll look into it right away, Lieutenant.

Please.

Lieutenant?

I found something about that Kayalar Mosque.

What is it, Cihangir?

It seems that Kayalar Mosque has an important place in sufism history.

A tariqa sheikh in 17th century, named Ismail Maşuki...

...executed at At Avenue with his followers.

They beheaded him.

And threw the pieces to sea.

His body was found at Bebek shore.

And his followers took it and buried it at Kayalar Mosque.

Thank you, folks.

Have a good day.

-You too, Lieutenant. -Thank you.

Revered Ismail Maşuki (The Victim Ismail)

Al-Fatiha to his soul

Hello.

I want to book for two tonight.

Yes.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

-Didn't you like it here? -Nah.

I'm just surprised you picked here.

This was the only place I knew.

I didn't expect it would be so quiet though.

We can go somewhere else if you want.

No, it's very good.

Really.

I'm glad you called.

I mean, what happened last night...

I'm still a little ashamed.

I came to your door.

I drank a few glasses too.

But I didn't imagine the night would be ended like that.

It was great, actually.

Really?

Yes.

Well, I'm listening.

Excuse me?

You didn't call me for a romantic dinner, right?

No, no.

Kemal...

You can't lie.

Okay...

Also for a dinner...

...and to ask a few questions maybe.

Bon appetit.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Again, welcome.

Thank you.

I'm ready, Detective.

What do you know about the evil interdiction?

An era that pressure increased against sufistics.

That whirling is banned and there were similar restrictions.

Even widely accepted orders like Mevlevis...

...took their share in that time of oppression.

Ismail Maşuki?

The boy sheikh?

An important "kutb" of Bayrami Malamatiyya.

The youngest.

What's "kutb"?

It's sheikh. The leader of the tariqa.

Do you know why Maşuki is killed?

Because he insisted on "wahdat al-mawjud"...

...they named him as nonbeliever and deviant.

What is "wahdat al-mawjud"?

There were two concepts in Medieval sufistic tradition.

One of them is the widely accepted "wahdat al-wujud"...

...and the less known is "wahdat al-mawjud".

"Wahdat al-wujud" is the sufistic concept that claims...

...the creator and creature are the same and comes from the same source.

According to that "everything is one, and one is everything."

Everything we can or can't see is manifestation of god.

So, you, me, all of us are a part of Him.

And "wahdat al-mawjud"?

The same unity concept with a little close...

...to pantheism and materialism.

I mean, basically, believing that the nature is god.

"Wahdat al-mawjud" also says there is a unity of all beings.

But according to it, god isn't anything else...

...then the whole sum of the beings constitute universe.

God is the universe itself.

And the both concepts...

What kind of threat are they?

"Wahdat al-wujud" and "wahdat al-mawjud"...

...they both contradicts the "tawhid" concept in Islam.

But "wahdat al-wujud" concept...

...is able come to terms with central Sunni view.

As a matter of fact the Sunni sufistic tradition...

...managed to come to terms with Sunni ulama...

...by a soft "wahdat al-wujud" view.

But this way is almost entirely closed...

...for "wahdat al-mawjud" concept.

It wasn't possible for view that sees the universe as god...

...to come to terms with Sunni ulama.

Is it done? I think I passed the test.

I asked you the other day too...

Are these kind of groups still exist?

It's hard to answer that.

They don't exist officially.

They say during years, Qalandaris or Haydaris fused into...

...accepted sufistic movements like Mevlevis or Bektashis...

...trying to escape from political and religious oppression.

But some are saying that a few groups...

...continue to exist even today maintaining their beliefs.

Come up if you want.

Another time.

Why? Because you didn't drink enough?

I really have to work.

I'm sorry.

I can't keep my mouth shut.

Good night. -You too.

Good morning.

-Good morning, Lieutenant. -Good morning, Lieutenant.

Is something happened?

We found something important.

What? -That abandoned building...

Circulation of World Science...

...and Knowledge Society sold it to Abdullah Ceren.

What?

And the chairman during the selling...

Rahmi Görener.

The arsoned lodge is very important it seems.

Those who died in the lodge fire...

You said homeless people who took shelter in the lodge?

Who were those homeless people, look into it.

Yes, Lieutenant.

Abdullah Ceren.

Most probably, he arsoned in order to use the land.

And the one who sold the building...

Billur!

Find Rahmi Görener immediately.

Call right now and find out if he's home.

Okay, Lieutenant.

Yaşar, good morning.

I need to ask you something.

When was the last time you were in touch with your father?

Two days?

Okay.

No, no, nothing important. We'll talk later.

And?

No answer.

Call Kandil Police Department. Tell them to break the door...

...and go in. -Yes, sir.

Crime Scene Investigation

Lieutenant?

Lieutenant, everything is exactly how it was.

We didn't touch a thing.

-Do we know the time of death? -No, Lieutenant, like I said...

...we're ordered to not touch a thing, and we didn't.

It is exactly how it was.

Oh, by the way, Lieutenant...

...you know, in a neighborhood everyone knows each other.

So I talked to the errand boy of the grocery store.

He said that he didn't hear from the housekeeper for two days.

Okay. Thank you.

This is my house!

-Lieutenant will speak to you. -Just let me go!

-Please, don't do that. -Sir...

Hilmi!

Is my dad okay?

Kemal, is my dad okay?

I want to see my dad.

You will, don't worry.

But not now.

There are four of them.

They escaped from ship that sank 25 years ago...

...in front of the shoe factory and they took shelter in here.

Do you have someone to call?

Sign here and here, please.

Fire!

Great!

He survived again, huh?

When is he coming out?

Tomorrow, I guess.

The next day he'll be trouble for us then.

There are two significant things.

The first one is obvious.

...enucleation...

We can't be exactly sure without an autopsy.

But it seems like it's done ante mortem.

And the cutting tool?

The same.

And the second thing?

Drugs on the nightstand...

Apparently he had dementia.

But to know on what stage, we need to do a biopsy.

Hopefully, he was very advanced...

...so he couldn't understand what happened to him.

And the other one, the housekeeper?

Apparently a big nail on T4 caused his death.

Probably it's been pounded in the victim's head by a nail gun.

I didn't see any sign of struggle.

That's all for now.

I'll evaluate more after some tests.

Thank you for coming all the way here.

It's really me who should thank you.

For what?

Thanks to you, I smelled the air of Bosphorus after all those years.

I didn't go any further than Çengelköy for years.

The last time I was around here was 35 years ago for my defense.

Your defense?

Disciplinary investigation on me.

Kuleli Military High School.

You were a soldier?

Not really.

My father forced me to apply the exams.

I did everything wrong...

...but my father did everything he could...

...and managed me to get accepted to the school.

Thank God I managed to get fired in the end of the second year.

I couldn't think that you'd have a military training.

There are some people among people...

...they're worthy of heaven, with their good deeds from the outside.

But they're all worthy of hell.

It was written on the digital board...

...of the mosque down there coming here.

In short, you shouldn't be fooled by the appearance.

Our profession taught me that very well.

Our brethren and friends of the heart are invited to be...

...in our conversation assembly to be with us with a deep feeling.

Every Thursday - 20.30 Kadıyoran Lodge, Kadıyoran St.

You can still change your mind.

No need.

I gave you enough trouble.

I don't mind, I can come.

Really.

Okay.

Thank you.

Are you feeling any better now?

I don't know.

I don't feel anything.

I'm all empty inside.

How curious, you'd think you'd be sorry.

But I feel like I'm all alone among all those people.

I get what you’re saying.

When I lost my wife and my daughter...

That's exactly how I felt.

Then that strange feeling of emptiness is gone...

...and an unspeakable rage come instead.

Stuff and people continue to be like nothing happened...

...was making me mad with anger.

I'm sorry.

I'm talking about my own pain in a moment like this.

While yours is still so fresh.

Are you okay?

What is it?

Kemal, I need to tell you something.

But I don't know where to begin.

My dad...

My dad had a second life different than it appears.

The other day...

...you asked me Medieval deviant tariqas still exist or not?

There are still that exist.

I wanted to tell you before.

But my promise to my dad kept me from it.

But when it came down to this...

My dad wasn't just a prominent Mevlevi.

He was also the last kutb of Mashukis.

Mashukis?

The dervishes who follows Ismail Maşuki call themselves that.

Like Faik Ahlat Karaca.

Faik Ahlat Karaca...

...and my dad was very close friends, I knew that.

He was the kutb of Mashukis before my dad.

Yes.

Your dad made miniatures for his novels.

I don't know the details of their relationship.

But I know that Faik Ahlat Karaca...

...stands for "wahdat al-mawjud" I told you the other day.

In fact my dad told me that he tried to integrated...

...more radical and anarchist ideas to the lodge.

Just like the dervish in the novel.

In time, they fall out with each other.

After his death, the prominent people of the lodge...

...find my dad suitable to lead them.

So, who...

...and why killed your dad?

Could it be who are disturbed with those deviant ideas?

I don't think so.

In fact, it could be just the opposite.

How so?

My dad was very accommodationist, Kemal.

He was denying "wahdat al-mawjud" downrightly.

He said that he wanted that Mashukis...

...to dissolve in Mevlevi tradition.

Maybe some people are disturbed by that.

Like the ones who accepted Faik Ahlat Karaca's ideas?

Could be.

Did your dad told you where they gather and who his followers were?

No.

I understand why they had to hide themselves in the past.

But why are they acting like that today?

My dad said nothing changes...

...everything just changes their shape.

And that this land is a mill that grinds people.

And that it doesn't matter it runs with muscle or electricity.

Why didn't you tell me that before?

My dad lived his entire life hiding things, Kemal.

My love and my promise to him kept me.

I know, it's hard for you to understand.

It's the same to me too.

But how could I know it would be like this?

I don't know Nusret Işık or that transsexual.

I couldn't think that the killer was around my dad.

I didn't know anything, Kemal.

My dad became ill last year.

The dementia advanced and slowly took over his mind.

When he understood that this illness will destroy his consciousness...

...he called me on night and told me the secret he kept from everyone.

Kemal, I didn't mean to hide anything from you.

Now, I'm going to ask you something.

Listen to me very carefully.

What you'll tell is very important.

There is a burned, abandoned lodge.

This lodge was belonged to the foundation...

...that your dad was its chairman...

...and then sold to someone.

And then the building burned.

And the homeless people living inside the building was blamed.

But my guess is...

...the new owner of the building...

...arsoned the lodge to use the land.

About this lodge...

...do you know anything?

No.

I don't know so much about my dad's business.

Could this lodge be the hidden gathering place...

...for the tariqa members?

I don't know.

I'm glad you're better now.

Thank you.

I won't be here too long.

I'm just here to see if you need anything.

Semiha...

I left a few things in the fridge.

Semiha...

Please, don't make a scene, Settar.

I found Güneş.

I found our son, Semiha.

Sometimes I think you never sleep, Lieutenant.

Sorry, I hope I didn't distracted you.

No, Billur, no.

This miniature...

...didn't catch my eye when we first visited Rahmi Görener.

Prophet Jonah getting out of the belly...

...of the whale with the help of Gabriel.

And the traces on the wall points that it was hung up later.

I think that it's a sign the killer left.

Why didn't you leave?

I'm on watch duty, Lieutenant. Ahmet's wife is sick.

By the way...

I found something you may be interested...

...when I was making clean copies of the files.

-What is it? -I noticed it...

...when I looked into the file of Faik Ahlat Karaca.

Karaca was buried in Göksu cemetery in 1964.

I think it's very near to the marina...

...where Nusret Işık's boat was at, Lieutenant.

Thank you, Billur.

And then manifested that matter...

...and made some of it steam...

...and some of it molten.

And then the molten part became dense with His manifestation...

...and the steam ended.

And then the Earth and seven spheres...

...the world He created from that foam.

Consequently, for every world...

...from clean air, a firmament came to be.

And then extending that steam matter...

...settled sevenfold of heaven and planted stars in it.

Included the seeds of those stars...

...heavens came to be and formed.

From the creation to being...

Faik Ahlat Karaca 01.01.1930-12.02.1964

Al-Fatiha to his soul

I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn.

From the mischief of created things.

From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads.

From the mischief of those who practice Secret Arts.

And from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy.

I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn.

From the mischief of created things.

From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads.
