THE PERA PALACE HOTEL

Esra?

Where did you disappear to? I was worried when I heard the...

It's terrible.

Come on.

Come on, let's talk a bit.

About what?

- Talk about what? - Don't yell.

What's going on?

Why is the killer's symbol in your pocket?

Was it you who killed Leyla?

You've lost your mind.

You're talking nonsense.

Hello?

Hello, my dear friend.

I'm listening.

You finally came to your senses.

I'll be expecting you today, my dear friend.

I will introduce you to the others.

Everyone will be here.

- We can do great things together. - All right, Halit.

You were right all along.

I'm with you, no matter what. Just like the old days.

We'll make up for lost time now.

As long as we act together,

no one can stop us.

No one.

We'll talk when you arrive.

MIDNIGHT AT THE PERA PALACE

Esra.

Esra, open the door, please.

I'm very worried about you.

Esra.

Esra.

I know how hard it is.

Please, open the door so we can talk.

Meliha, please! I want to be alone.

But people need each other in times like these.

No wound heals alone. Please open the door.

Esra.

There's a new letter.

My condolences.

I wish I had come with you.

At least I would have been by your side. I'm so sorry.

Thanks.

What about the letter?

"The government must have failed to take me seriously,

as no action has been taken in response to my demands."

"This has cost a young woman her life."

"What you need to do is extremely simple."

"Turkish Civil Code No. 743 will be repealed, never to be reinstated."

"Women and men are not equal, and they will not be."

"If you don't publish this letter, another woman dies."

"Then another and another."

Bastard.

Murderer.

You were right from the start, I guess.

Halit is involved in this.

Gentlemen.

I'd like to introduce you to my oldest and dearest friend, Halit.

Halit Vatansever.

We've achieved a lot in the past. I hope we can achieve even more now.

Welcome, Halit.

- Thank you, Mümtaz. - Have a seat.

Yes.

How could Halit change so much?

How could he join an organization that is an enemy of Atatürk?

- The Gateway of Truth. - What is that?

Maybe nothing is as it seems.

Maybe there's an explanation for everything.

It's not your fault, okay?

This would probably have happened even without the article.

Go to the police.

Tell them.

There's a witness too.

He disguised himself as a woman and deceived everyone.

Which Mr. Mümtaz are you talking about?

Mümtaz Soyluoğlu.

Chrome merchant. Friend of the Nazis.

Mümtaz Soyluoğlu?

- Go on, tell me. - They're like a secret organization.

I witnessed their meetings. They're planning terrible things.

If we don't act, the course of history will change.

- The course of history? - Yes.

Halit is his right-hand man.

There are others. They're a cult.

Who knows where they've infiltrated.

What happened?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm fine. It's okay.

The food I ate yesterday upset my stomach.

Sometimes we make wrong choices like this.

What did he say?

- He didn't believe you? - No.

Such a thickhead!

I see.

We'll do it ourselves.

I'll head back. Give me the letter.

God, he is after me again.

Can we leave?

I want to show you a place for the captives.

What is it? You're very excited today.

As you said, there's no time to waste.

There are hundreds of women to be kidnapped.

We can put them there.

It's a safe place. No one will know.

All right.

Let's take my car.

Esra.

It seems that Leyla...

If she were my mom, I wouldn't be here.

Maybe this is my destiny.

Esra Köksüz.

Esra the Rootless.

That's who I am.

And who I'll always be.

What is meant to be will be. Don't worry.

"What is meant to be."

Do you think Halit did it?

Maybe he's playing both sides again.

Lili said Ms. Halime would be so glad

if she could find a way to get rid of Mümtaz.

- So? - So...

So, maybe if Ms. Halime knows what Mümtaz and Halit are doing,

she can confirm it.

But why would she tell us?

She wouldn't tell us, but

she might tell a trusted friend.

Let's transfer the women tonight.

Why the rush?

You didn't like it?

It's good.

It's good.

- I'll think about it. - Think fast.

No one can find them here.

What is it with you today?

You're acting strange.

If you don't trust me,

who will you trust?

No, you misunderstood. It's not about trusting you...

Then stop mumbling.

Let's go.

Let's talk elsewhere.

We're not going anywhere.

Ahmet, the door is open.

Lili?

Lili!

Esra!

Ahmet, this handwriting.

"Stop looking for my baby. It's useless."

"Thanks for your help. Always your friend, Halime."

It's the same handwriting.

It really is.

Am I the baby Halime's looking for?

Hello? Ms. Halime?

It's Alfred.

Your butler, Alfred.

Well, I'm not really Alfred.

My real name is Ahmet, and as you can see, I'm Turkish.

We need to meet immediately.

It's about your friend Lili. Let's meet at the Markiz in an hour.

Can I not trust anyone in my life?

How could you stab me in the back?

Just like you did, the day you stole the keys.

Halit, what else could I have done? Huh?

You showed me the door to a miracle and didn't let me go in.

Time shouldn't be a toy for people like you.

Like me?

What about people like you? Huh?

I'm tired of your arrogance. You see your friendship as a blessing.

You're not even worthy

of being my foe, let alone my friend.

How long do you think you can keep me here?

They must've noticed I'm gone and started looking for me.

Last night, Lili said, "Don't leave me."

I shouldn't have left her.

I didn't want anything to change.

I, the Guardian of Time.

I don't have much time.

If Mümtaz finds out we've met...

Lili's been kidnapped.

What?

When?

I don't know.

We found this at Lili's.

Lili was the only witness to Cahide Sonku's abduction.

She said it was a woman with long red hair.

That's what she said.

Last night,

I found a red wig

in your husband's closet, just like the one Lili had described.

Ms. Halime.

Do you know where Mümtaz keeps the women he kidnaps?

Do you?

He wouldn't tell me.

A woman was murdered.

We must find the others before it's too late.

Mümtaz...

- I don't know. - Ms. Halime, please.

Do you realize what you're asking of me?

Ms. Halime.

What happened to your baby?

How do you know about that?

I...

I fell in love.

I cheated on Mümtaz.

I got pregnant.

At first, Mümtaz thought it was his.

But then he found out.

He took her away.

Lili.

I only told her.

Lili did everything to find her, but she couldn't.

Because I just learned

that my baby is not in this time.

She is in another time.

Mümtaz said so.

You must think I'm crazy, don't you?

No.

We're familiar with those things.

I guess it's the Pera Palace.

It's enchanted.

He took my daughter to another time at room 411.

But he won't say which time.

If I knew, I would find her, but I don't understand such things.

I can't do it.

I have to do whatever Mümtaz says to find my daughter.

We can help you find your daughter.

How?

Ms. Halime.

We'll help you, and you'll help us.

I need to save Lili.

Where does Mümtaz keep the women he kidnaps? If you know, tell us.

Of course I will.

- But first, bring me my baby. - Don't you understand?

Lili's life is in danger.

Well, then,

hurry up.

Where is he going now?

Come on.

Welcome to the Pera Palace. We have valet service now.

Yes, you must try our special cocktail.

Your car will be here when you're ready to leave.

Let's go.

He took a turn. Step on it.

Wait, okay. Don't step on it.

Turn off the headlights. He'll see us.

- Oh no. He stopped. - Slow down. He'll see us. Hit the brake.

- Hit the brake! - I did!

Ahmet, are you okay?

Oh, let me see.

Oh, okay. You're not harmed.

He's moving. Come on.

Come on.

This is beyond us. Should we call the police?

Sure, Ahmet. Give me your phone. I'll send the location on WhatsApp.

They are here.

See? He is partners with Mümtaz.

No.

Halit has him tied up.

You never change your ways, Halit.

I promise you power,

and you're still trying to be a hero.

But men like you won't last. They'll be forgotten, you know?

Don't test my patience. Tell me where the women are.

Halit.

Esra? How did you...

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have doubted you.

When will you learn to trust me?

Mümtaz!

- Alfred? - Ahmet?

Not Alfred, Ahmet.

- I should've known you were Halit's agent. - Mr. Ahmet!

- Where's Lili? - Ahmet, stop!

- I'll kill you. Where's Lili? - Get off me!

Mr. Ahmet, calm down.

Leave it to me.

Mr. Halit!

Another woman has been kidnapped.

You don't know who you're dealing with.

I'll destroy you all.

All of you.

I don't know how I'll forgive myself.

I should have realized your intentions.

But Lili...

When she said Cahide Sonku was kidnapped in your car...

Only one other person has that same car in Istanbul.

We bought the cars together.

Don't blame yourself.

Then Naim Effendi saw the same car the night Leyla was kidnapped.

That was me.

I went to get the evidence I left behind.

I killed the man who planted the bomb at the Pera Palace.

Esra, the man was after Leyla.

He was going to kill Leyla.

Sometimes...

something happens to me, along with a headache.

I can't control myself.

Anger takes over me.

It may be because of the Gateway of Truth.

Come on, it's late.

- Go with Mr. Ahmet. - You?

I'm not done with Mümtaz.

Ms. Sabiha, Safiye Ayla's also been kidnapped.

What?

How will this end?

Dear God.

Rush it to the first edition.

I can't bear it if another woman is killed.

- Right away. - All right.

Extra! Read the latest news!

Safiye Ayla has been kidnapped!

Read the tragic news from all over the country!

Extra!

Read the unfortunate incidents happening to women!

Read the letter of the murderer who kidnaps women!

Don't miss this letter, folks!

Extra!

Read about why women are being kidnapped!

"Turkish Civil Code No. 743 will be repealed, never to be reinstated."

"Women and men are not equal, and they will not be."

"Patriarchy is the engine of a nation."

"If you don't publish this, another woman will die."

"Then another and another."

I don't give a damn about women.

I have another goal.

What is it?

I want my name to be known when I die.

I want to leave a mark on this world.

I want them to say, "Mümtaz Soyluoğlu did great things."

Like Fatih.

Like Mustafa Kemal.

Living and dying as an ordinary person is not for me.

People die as they live, Mümtaz.

You won't die like an ordinary person.

You will die like a dishonorable and despicable man.

And looks like it won't be long.

Halit!

Halit!

Ahmet, it has become a shitshow.

We must figure out the portals.

I say... let's...

Should we implement that Garden Bar plan?

Well...

Let's call it an idea, not a plan.

I don't like it either, but

what choice do we have?

Think about it.

If we succeed, everything will be fixed in rapid succession.

The women will be saved.

Mümtaz will go to prison.

Halime will get her baby, you will get Lili,

and I will get my mother.

What a hill. It never seems to end.

I will kill that bastard.

Forget about him.

We have a new plan.

Tell him.

We'll blow up the Garden Bar.

Ahmet, explain it properly.

Okay, fine.

Now... it all began with that earthquake in 1894.

Then it ended with the explosion at the hotel.

So

there's a magnetic effect related to the tremor.

I think.

Probably.

It doesn't come with a manual. I'm just brainstorming.

It's like...

it's like hitting a broken TV.

I mean, hitting a broken device.

The Turkish way.

Destroying the Garden Bar

means destroying my past.

It was our first...

It should have been demolished in '39.

Then it became a parking lot or something.

If the course of history hadn't changed, it would've been gone.

We'll make what already happened happen.

Don't worry so much.

What?

In the end, only the memories remain.

It's just four walls.

Your past will always be yours.

Why are you doing this?

Why did you jump into the Gateway? Didn't you know the danger?

I would have done it anyway.

Love.

But now?

Why try to be a hero?

What do you want to prove? To whom?

I'm just doing what needs to be done. That's all.

When it's all over,

when everyone's back in their time...

I hope you do what needs to be done then too.

What do you mean?

In your time, you have a son who needs you.

Anyway,

let's blow it up.

Three, two, one...

And?

Two, one...

Whoa.

We did it.

Whoa. Did you use all the dynamite in Istanbul?

All right. Come on.

Let's see if it worked.

What?

Now?

But we...

What? We'll just go and come back right away.

Can't you be apart for a bit? I thought your love was timeless.

Time can take many forms.

What if we can't return?

I'll be waiting at 411.

I can't lose you again.

Let's go together.

Mümtaz?

Nurullah can watch him until we return.

Can he manage?

How about Ahmet going alone?

I can't leave him alone.

He needs me.

I need you too.

We have no choice.

You know that.

Ahmet.

We'll go and come back right away. Okay?

No messing around. Let's handle our business and come back.

Just behave yourself.

SUNDAY, JULY 22, 1979 HOW DID THE CITY FALL?

Who's that?

What is she doing here?

Today is July 22, 1979.

Now the news.

We start with news from Istanbul.

President Mümtaz Soyluoğlu

gave a speech at the opening of the education center for women.

EDUCATION CENTER FOR WOMEN

We have reached

the final stage of the new world we have been building for years.

So far, I haven't let down...

Mümtaz.

President?

...anyone who followed me and believed in me.
