EPISODE 79

Episode begins with the beautiful wedding gown-wearing gangster making a trip to the police precinct

Boksör Hilmi: KARADAYI! I assure you, I will make you pay this I will not forget what you have done to me! This will be paid for write me in your mind!

Y: Shut up you! Shut up! Throw the little lady into the detention cell!

Journalist: Yasin komiser, what is the incident? If you could give us some information What should we write tomorrow?

Y: Write like this; Karadayi entered the world fastly, he has made a mess of the Boksör, write like this!

Yasin goes back in the police precinct.

A: Wait a minute Did I understand right? You want help from me for your fiancé, is it not so?

F: Actually, we were enga

Ayten (interrupting Feride): What is your intention Hakime hanim? To hurt me (cani yakmak)?

F: No, not at all! I came here to ask your help...

A (again interrupting): There is none else left to ask for help from so you came to me, really?

F: Ayten, Can you listen to me for a minute and let me explain (izah etmek)?

A: No need for an explanation (izah) Hakime hanim. I have understood you. Rubbing salt into my wound (yaraya tuz basmak) pleases you, but pardon me I will not let it happen from now on. Now if you allow me, let me change my clothes.

S: What happened? What did Ayten hanim say? Did she accept?

F: She did not even bother herself to listen to me.

S: How so?

F: She thought that I came to spite her (deliberately offend/hurt – nispet yapmak). She did not even ask me what is going on with Mahir, she only asked why I need her help and then she kicked me out.

S: To such an important judge? She has no limits (hadsiz).

F: Haydi let us go, Suna, haydi.

D: What did you do aslanim (my lion)?

M: I solved it abi.

D: Good.

M: I delivered the girl to her family, and the real enemy to the police station... Our friends cops will see if the bride’s dress suited the Boksör well or not.

D: You really made him wear the bride’s gown? Hahahahaha

M: Exactly abi.

D: What a beautiful punishement. The world never heard about such a punition Everyone’s eyes will be on you now.

M: Was this not our goal, abi? To attract attention (dikkat çekmek) of the men you have enumerated I want to sit with them on the same table. To have them call me and join them. To reveal their secrets to me. I want them to trust me in such a way, that they lead me to the beyefendi with their own hands.

D: This also will happen... The turn will come on this too...

Look, you have bumped someone off (killed someone – lesini sermek) and you are notorious now

You took the territory by humiliating him... Now there will be an acquaintance ceremony for sure...but with the big heads of the world before reaching to the Beyefendi... Particularly, the time has come to show up... Karadayi.

M: Karadayi who makes a mess of the Kabadayi world (causes chaos in the kabadayi world).

Last night, an unaccustomed (alisilmadik) event happened at the Merkez police station. The informations which were given by the authorities, Hilmi Sucu one of the old boxers who became famous as a kabadayi in a small neighbourhood (semt), raised hell by raiding a wedding that took place in the same neighbourhood and kidnapped the bride.

The new kabadayi Mahir Kara alias Karadayi, who has taken a part of this incident, has saved the bride from the Boksör's hands, delivered her to her spouse, and then delivered Hilmi Sucu to the police station by making him wear the bride’s dress.

In this quarrel of settling accounts between the two kabadayis, the humiliated Boksör Hilmi Sucu was put under arrest while swearing that he will take his revenge...

Karadayi who makes a mess of the Kabadayi world

M: Günaydin abi.

D: Günaydin Karadayi... This is your notoriety aslanim, it gets used to, used to your tongue and your ears... Haydi, let us arrive (varmak) to your new territory (mintika)... The notable people (rich people – esraf) who heard that you defeated (beat – alt etmek) the Boksör are wondering about how you look like (your stature – endam)... Have you seen this? (he gave him the newspapper)

M: I did.

D: Very hot news (yakici), and quite showy (afili), let us see what kind of echo it will have in the world.

They get in the car

_____________

Our little friend Seyis is at his farm

S: Tell Mustafa to inform the veterinarians (baytar). Let them examine Karakiz, She is not feeling good (in the mood).

Man: Right away, abi.

S: Where is Yusuf? He did not come?

Y: I came Monsieur, I came.

S: Hos geldin.

Y: Bonjour (hello).

S: Please sit down. Let them bring the tea.

Yusuf looks at the newspaper.

Y: Is this not our Boksör? White looked good on him. This is bad.

S: Eh, he deserved it. He kidnapped the bride from the wedding.

Y: Mahir Kara, is he not the individual whom I bombed? A comical (funny – komik) man.

S: He is not just comical. Courageous, dangerous, someone different (degisik), yani.

FLASHBACK – a day before the wedding Mehmet Zalim and his lover, puppet with 3 hairs on bald head Selim took a break from their romantic walk and were waiting for Seyis

MS: Is this the kabadayi that we are waiting for?

Sel: Yes, efendi. Have no doubt he is the fastest and roughest man in the business. Very fearless (gözü kara). And he is very enthusiastic (hevesli) to kill Mahir.

MS: Beautiful. Selim, what if I am not the person addressed to (muhatap olmak)...? You coordinate the matter.

Sey: We did not make you wait, insallah.

Sel: No, I just arrived.

Sey: The Beyefendi?

Seyis, as he was going to go enter the car to talk to MS, gets retained by Selim.

Sel: Let us not bother him.

Sey: Do not dare touch me again other than shaking hands (tokalasmak). We do not cover our hands in blood for someone who does not step down to meet us, Beyefendi.

MS: Seyis bey, you came? Selim, why did you not inform me?

Sey: Honoured to meet you at last, Beyefendi.

END OF FLASHBACK

ANOTHER FLASHBACK WITH SEYIS AND SOSYETE YUSUF MEETING

Y: What is this face, Monsieur (sir)? Is there a problem?

S: It depends on how you look at it. For some it is a problem, and for others it is the chance of a lifetime.

Y: I am the chief of riddles (puzzles – bilmece), my dear (azizim).

S: Then solve it. I received a request

Y: From Beyefendi.

S: I had the honour of meeting him today. He has a request. In order to establish a connection between us, I said yes, but

Y: But?

S: The work does not suit me. I cannot do it.

Y: Excuse my curiosity, but what did he request?

S: There is a man, he will be killed. They will put a bomb in his wedding car. If he told me to shoot him in the middle of his forehead, I would not think twice, but this is a wedding. The women, and children, and family it is contrary to me. In short (velhasil), I will not do it.

Y: Wait, wait. Maybe we can find a way. We have to think in a big way. The Beyefendi means new doors opened to us in this trade. The weapons business is big.

S: My oath is also big, Yusuf. I cannot do it.

Y: Alright, do not break your oath. Say yes, and I will take care of the matter. Let the crime (sin – günah) and the merit (credit – sevap) be upon me.

S: Are you sure?

Y: I will place the bomb. Who is the target? You just tell me that.

END OF FLASHBACK

FLASHBACK OF NERDY BEY SEYIT AND SOSYETE YUSUF

S: Selamünaleyküm.

Y: Is it taken care of?

S: It is, abi. As you said, I prepared the bomb with my own hands, and put it in its place in a beautiful way. And I left the car in front of the owner’s house and came. It is a great wedding gift, yani. What is going on, abi? The demand for bombs is high. There is no need for this.

Y: Take your gift then. In my opinion, you can let go of the safety peg. Let go of the safety.

Sosyete plays a prank on Seyit. It is a fake grenade that plays some soothing music.

S: Abi, you made me lose my mind.

Y: But I spared your life. Bonsoir (good evening).

END OF FLASHBACK

And then back to Sosyete Yusuf and Seyis having their breakfast

S: Is there anyone from our group that knows you were the one who put that bomb?

Y: No, this subject has never been opened.

S: Good. Let them not know too. Because of insignificant matters, the human becomes like a burden on the back.

Y: Whoever knows knows, azizim. What is there to it? Would the real burden not be that it gets to Mahir's ears (hearing about it)?

S: It would benefit us to behave with sensitivity, Yusuf kardes.

Y: For who? For Mahir? Who is he? Was there anyone who heard of his name until yesterday... Besides, he already killed a poor man and got his revenge, and the book was closed. He has no problem with us.

S: You never know with these matters. Look, he entered into our world through the heaviest seat. We will come face to face and stand side by side. And then someone will pop up that does not know how to speak and say this matter was not actually that way, it was this way.

Y: My character and my stance are clear, azizim. I do not come face to face and walk side to side with just any man that says he is a kabadayi. Be at rest (için rahat olsun).

S: Beautiful. But the issue does not get closed just like that.

Y: As long as you are insisting, let it be as you say.

S: Actually, I am regretful for giving this job to you. I wish we did not get involved (got mixed up with this job – bulasmak) at all. A mother’s soul got burned. And I did too.

Y: Eh, it happened this time.

Ohoooo Seyis you feel remorseful now huh How are you going to get closer to Ilknur now that you are mostly the reason behind the tragedy?!!?

Feride went down the stairs and saw the breakfast table set Feride needs the newspapers, and as Kerime was coming down the stairs, she stashed the newspaper quickly into her purse.

K: Günaydin kizim.

F: Günaydin mum.

K: I was waiting for your wake up.

F: If you waited me for the breakfast, you will have it with my father, I have to go out immediately.

K: No Feride. I was going to say let us talk a little... Shall we go to the garden?

F: Why do we not talk here?

K: We will take some fresh air, you know it is autumn (sonbahar) you will miss these days later... Haydi let us go.

They go out.

Mahir, Dalyan and his men were walking in Mahir’s new territory. People were talking about how he saved the bride, and made Hilmi wear the wedding gown and threw him in front of the police precinct. Everyone run to Mahir to kiss his hand as a token of gratitude but Mahir does not allow them and shakes hand instead Dalyan says it cannot be like this, this is his territory now they will not show a lack of respect (saygida kusur etmek) and Mahir will not avoid getting his hand kissed and seeing the people’s respect for him. Mahir asks how is he going to get used to this Dalyan says this is how things goes etc The groom came to greet Mahir and tell him may God bless him for having saved his name and honour. He tells him let him do whatever job Mahir has because his debt is big and he is ready for everything. The man reaches to kiss Mahir’s hand, and Mahir reluctantly allows him. They continue walking around

K: Wait, Feride And you, how are you? What is your state (situation)?

F: I am doing my best (gayret etmek) to be okay mum

K: Yesterday, your father was talking (bahsetmek) about things What is going on Feride? Did Mahir really kill that guy?

F: If only I knew mum. The only thing I know is that everything is not like it was before.

K: Seeing you in disarray like this burns my soul so much...but not being able bandage your wounds is tougher.

F: Do not worry, everything will be more beautiful than before... I will do my best and the necessary for this...because I love him so much, mum. I love Mahir helplessly (umarsiz).

K: Kizim

They hug

Mahir came to a small café when he entered everyone stood up to show respect for KARADAYI Mahir and Dalyan found a place to sit, but the men were still standing up; then Mahir saw an old man standing and showing respect, Mahir was wondering about him and he asked him “Amca (uncle), why are you standing up, sit down" Then the old man said "this cannot be, you have to sit first my son, this is what is appropriate". Mahir politely replied that “I will also not sit down before you do, haydi amca”. The old man thanked Mahir, and then everybody took their place The tea is ready and delivered to them

_____________

The yaziyor boy is advertising the day’s headlines: the new fighter in the kabadayi world, how Mahir Kara alias Karadayi humiliated the Boksör He arrived next to Nazif’s home of which Nazif baba was just in front of Nazif told the yaziyor boy to give him one, and as he read the title, he got angry. He told the boy to take the newspaper back and to not come again and sell the newspaper on this street then the boy said fine, and returned back from where he came from

_____________

Back to Mahir and Dalyan at the small café People are talking about the future of their neighbourhood, and how it looks great under the control of Karadayi, they said good things about him and they thanked Allah for such a gift; they are happy because they are saved from the filth that was Boksör Hilmi May God bless Karadayi etc

D: Do you hear? This respect (saygi) and such high regard (hürmet) is not gifted to everyone. The men salute you with their own will, you want it or not, they have accepted your rule (hükümet).

A man enters the café.

A: Abi buyrun Abi, consider our little as a lot. We were not ready, we will complete what is missing the next time.

M: No need.

A: Forgive my negligence, abi. Have I annoyed you

D: My friend, you leave it on the table and go.

The man left the café.

M: Why abi?

D: You have to take the offerings of the neighbours.

M: It cannot be abi... I cannot take the livelihood (money upon which one lives – nafaka) of the people.

D: Aslanim, those who has it, gives...and no one asks and takes from those who do not. You will consider it as a sort (nevi) of thank you for the neighbourhood’s system, order...

M: Is it obligatory (mandatory – sart olmak) to take it?

D: It is, everything will be according to the rules and this as well.

M: I cannot not swallow this, the money that I did not work and earned for is not legitimate (permissible) for me.

D: This is up to you. If you want use it or if you want take it from the rich and give it to the poor... Since that this world (life – dünya) is not fair (adil), you be fair.

Aysel is working at Belgin’s beauty salon

A: Ayse do not stay like this, show to Sema hanim the new red lipstick that just came...

Lady: I read this morning on the newspaper, my dear (hayatim). The Boksör was truly wearing the wedding gown.

L2: Oh, these are lies for sure.

A: It is true, Sermin hanim. My father was at the wedding last night, he said it too. He saw him how he dragged the Boksör (boxer) with the bride's dress.

L2: Ayyy, so exciting (heyecanli), look at the strength (kuvvet) and the power (kudret) the man has.

L1: How did he accomplish (becermek) it? The boxer is not a weak man, yani When he punches he destroys.

A: Ayyy can Hilmi even be mentioned next to Karadayi, abla... This Hilmi is like a child next to him, a child (tifil)... The man is very tall.

L3: Do you not say, girl Is he handsome at least?

L2: I saw him, he is handsome (yakisikli).

A: Ayyy, and how very handsome he is abla! His photo came out on the newspapers, have you not seen it? Hay Allah, black brows, black eyes, and 2 meters tall...off.

B: Who is this ogre (gulyabani – hahahhaa) Aysel hanim?

A: Hos geldin abla! I was talking about Karadayi...he got rid of the boksör in one night, and all these places belongs to him now, this is what my father told me this morning.

B: Look at that Hos geldiniz hanimlar.

A: I am coming Sermin abla, just a second please... Abla, I will say something Since this salon is in Karadayi’s territory, Karadayi is the one who will protect us from now on, right?

B: Ah goodness (ilahi) Aysel Has the Boksör protected us until this day for Karadayi to protect us now? Ahhh, ahhh. Do not poke your noses (burununu sokmak) into things that your minds cannot understand (akili ermemek)... Let your hands work, your hands not your tongues! Let them prepare my coffee and send it to me immediately.

A: Ayse, go and make the coffee. Pardon me Sermin hanim, let me take...the feet are like hooved feet (toynak gibi).

Aysel is so cute haha Brought some joy to the episode.

_____________

Ayten was trying to drink raw eggs down The myth suggests that drinking down raw eggs improves/clears the voice but it is false Ayten was so disgusted Someone knocks on door, and it is Feride again

A: It is you again, Feride? What do you want again this early in the morning?

F: We have to talk, Ayten? May you allow and let me come in?

Ayten opened the door and lets Feride come inside.

F: My shoes

A: No, we are going to clean the house later, buyrun.

F: Just as you guessed, the subject is Mahir. But let me say it right now. We I mean me and Mahir, we are no longer considered as engaged to each other.

A: How so? Did you two separate?

F: Like I said, we are not considered engaged anymore, because Mahir left and changed his way He will take his revenge. Anyway you must have read the news on the newspapers.

A: I read it Songül said something but where would I know

F: One is not able to believe this, right? But Mahir is very determined, he will find the one who made his family living this pain and take his revenge.

F: And what would he do? His pain is very big, look at those who are at home, every each and single one of them is in a miserable state. What is suitable from Mahir is to find who was the cause of this, and not to stay afraid. What I did not understand is what do you want from me?

F: Ayten, do you not see how dangerous the way Mahir has chosen? He wants to punish them by himself instead finding and turning them over to justice.

A: Why I wonder? If we look at what Nazif Baba has lived, he cannot be deemed as wrong, right?

F: I did not come here to argue (tartismak) about the past with you. Mahir has lost his self-control (gözü karartmak), he considers his soul as nothing. We must protect him, and I came to ask your help.

A: Have you lost your mind Feride? What can we do? You are a big judge, what can I do if you cannot do anything?

F: Mahir now became someone who flagrantly violates the law (kanun çigneyen biri), the only way I can help him with is by sending him to the prison. But look, the man who Mahir humiliated yesterday is throwing threats, and said that he will kill Mahir How can I sit when I know something like this? I am talking about Mahir's life, something not to happen to him. Ayten There only is one person who just like me wants the best for Mahir, and this person is you This is why I am in front of you.

_____________

Dalyan and Mahir are still touring around the area

D: The territory is done for since your name on everyone's tongue.

M: Let them say my name with good and prayers, and there is nothing else for me to wish for, abi.

Mahir saw an old woman who was cleaning her house’s door and her child was sitting next to her.

M: Give me the cash...kolay gelsin bacim (sister).

W: Thank you abi. No abi, I do not want it. I work for my livelihood anyway.

M: May Allah make it easy for you. Take it for the child.

W: Thank you. May God bless you. May God bring you reunited with your loved ones at home.

M: Amen. Kolay gelsin

D: Frown (kaslarini çatmak), lose your temper, do what you want to do. The real (the essence of) gem is always clean, always brightly shining (piril piril).

A man stopped them.

M: Abi, hos geldin. Buyrun abi, the news came, from now on this place is yours. We did our best in preparing it and in cleaning it Come and take a look if you want. And if there is something missing, let us complete it (tamamlamak). Buyrun abi.

M: Let us enter and see.

_____________

Back to Ayten and Feride having their coffee.

F: I heard that it is you who is in charge of the casino I do not have that much information (malumat)... There are Necdet’s men over there, right?

A: Of course there are In the end it is not an easy work, families and good people (düzgün insanlar) do not come to the casino. Sometimes vulgar, impolite people (it kopuk) come, and some people drink, get drunk then go crazy (sapitmak) Yani you find all the kinds you are looking for. And the men are there to secure the peace.

F: What if we put one of these men after Mahir? At least he will tell us where is he and what is he doing And if a bad thing will happen to him, he will inform me and I will do what I can to stop (prevent – mani olmak) him...or we help him when gets in trouble.

A: Good, let us say we did what you have said We put the man after Mahir Alright, what would happen if Mahir hears about it? Did you not think about it at all? I will tell you, he will harass both of us (give us hell – canina okumak).

F: That means we will be careful. And we will pray for Mahir not to find out... We have no other choice, Ayten. We are obliged to do this to keep Mahir in safe and to not regret it later b y saying if only

A: Offff. I do not know.

F: Ayten, please... You are the only one who can find a solution this. Find a guy, put him to follow Mahir. There is no need to protect him, it is enough for the guy to do the work of a detective (hafiyelik). For Mahir’s best interests

A: Tamam, tamam. I will find someone and I will put him to follow Mahir... Then I will inform you.

F: Thank you very much, you relieved me, even if a little bit.

A: Let us pray that Mahir does not hear about this.

F: Insallah. I am waiting for news from you. Thank you very much... Thank you for the coffee.

A: No problem (bir sey degil).

Feride leaves.

Nazif was at his shop working, then Ismet came to see him

I: Nazif baba, kolay gelsin Do you allow me to come in?

N: Sit, my son (evladim)!

I: What can I say? I do not know from where to start talking, Nazif baba. I am only aware of your situation... And I wanted you to know this...if there is anything you want from me, I am ready to do it, whatever you want.

N: Ahhh Ismet If only death is the only thing which has no remedy (deva). Sometimes the human's willpower (iradesi) stands facing you (opposes you – karsisina dikilmek) like iron (demir), you cannot bend (egmek) it and lean it... And you cannot say this is fate and accepting it. Mahir is not only my son, he is my support my back rest (chair – mesnet) The hand that I hold My tongue that speaks Mahir was my companion (yoldasi)... Anyway I was hit where I am most vulnerable and sensible (can evinden vurmak) because of what I have lost. I have no desire (heves) left to continue living And with what Mahir has done, all of it (toptan) made me have an awful fright (yüregine inmek).

I: Nazif Baba, I am counted like your son too. Yani, not to the point of filling Mahir’s place, but night or day when you are in need of anything you can just call me, and I will run and come right away, Nazif Baba.

N: Thank you evladim. Allah razi olsun (may God bless you)

Back to Mahir’s new gambling den The man working there tells him how the work has been slacking a bit nowadays etc He goes to bring them some tea when Kütük Nail’s man Ziya comes in

Z: Selamünaleyküm agalar.

Man: Ziya bey, hos geldin.

Z: Thank you, kardes. Dalyan abi... Kardes (brother), there is a greeting from Nail abi... He heard that the territory and the gambling den has changed its owner. He said “say that I raised up the price...from now on the bottles prices are raised by 3.”

Mahir is remembering what Dalyan Riza said about Kütük Nail "Kutuk Nail, a carpenter (marangoz). Only by name of course All kinds of smuggling will be asked from him, but they are not goods like ours, tobacco (tütün) and alcohol (içki). it is him who provides (beslemek) for all the casinos and night clubs.”

D: Why is this necessary (icap etmek) now? Did Nail stand his guard for him to raise the prices?

Z: The drill (rule) is very clear Dalyan abi. Nail abi gives the alcohol permit (ruhsat) to the person and not to the place... If the owner of the place is changed, the contract is ruined and the raise is made. If it suits your plans.

M: Tamam kardes, give my greetings to Nail bey. I accept with pleasure (basim gözüm üstüne) whatever he says. But tell him that Karadayi has a request (istirham). Tell him that I want to get acquainted and talk with him about this subject.

Z: Every person that comes in front of him freely like this cannot come before Nail abi, kardesim. Did you understand? And these work by ranks (kademe). There is Mahmut abi, best is if you go and talk to him about your problem.

M: Be a messenger (elçi), arkadas. Transmit it to him... Maybe he will say tamam.

Z: Alright then. Let it be as you said (whatever you say – dedigin gibi olsun). Haydi eyvallah.

D: What can I say. Well done (helal olsun sana). You took the pass and scored the goal immediately (aninda). It is still too soon (dün bir bugün iki) but you have created a chance of meeting one of the leaders.

Sosyete Yusuf and Seyis’ romantic breakfast came to an end, and Yusuf was on his way to leave the farm

Y: It was a wonderful (fevkalade) breakfast (kahvalti). Merci monsieur (French – thank you sir).

S: Do not mention it (lafi olmaz), kardesim. I will always wait (welcome) for you.

Y: I will let you know when the trucks come in the evening, let us be careful azizim (my dear).

S: I got this, do not worry.

Yusuf quits the farm and Orhan comes riding his car.

S: From where my lion?

O: I have delivered the deposit that you gave me yesterday abi...then I passed by my mum...I poured some water on her grave.

S: You did well.

O: Abi. I have a favour that I want to ask from you. Bülent, the father of my nephew that died... He lost his self-control (mind – dagitmak) after the incident... Of course it is not easy, he lost his son I brought him here and I said to let him kiss your hand. If you see it suitable, he can work with us.

S: You did well But (fakat) what kind of work does he do? What is he able to do?

O: He does any work you give him abi I mean he can run errands (getir götür bakmak) If you allow.

S: Alright then, let him stay for now (simdilik), we will see later what he will do.

O: Thank you abi, let me call him and let him kiss your hand.

S: I do not have time...later.

O: You know better.

S: Prepare the car... Let me change my clothes, then I will go out.

Dumb Orhan is happy for Dumber Caveman Bülent.

Ayten is in Necdet's office at the casino... Seems like she is waiting for our superstar the sweet Yasar

Y: You have asked for me, yenge.

A: Close the door and enter... I will give you a very important mission (vazife), Yasar!

Y: Whatever you want, yenge.

A: But it is a very secret (gizli) job. I have chosen you from all these men, this means that I trust in you that much, but if a mistake is made and that you mess up (eline yüzüne bulastirmak), you will pay a very big price for that.

Y: Do you not worry yenge. With God’s help (evvel Allah), I will solve whatever you want without being involved in a difficult situation.

A: Beautiful. (Ayten went to bring the Quran and made some gestures to show the respect for Allah's book (some habits) – thank God for a friend of mine otherwise I would not have understood why Ayten does this). First you will swear on the Quran (Kuran’a el basmak).

Y: Why yenge?

A: You will not repeat (say – tekrar etmek) what I will say to anyone. Especially your brother Necdet must never know. You will not say it even to yourself, this will be kept between us at that degree...now swear (yemin etmek).

Y: I swear, what you say will be kept just between us yengem.

A: Good, now listen to me very well. You remember this Mahir (hani var ya) Mahir Kara. You will follow him. You will be behind him day and night just like his shadow, where did he go and what did he do and who is he talking to. I want to know everything one by one (tek tek).

Y: What is up (hayirdir) yenge? Is there an enmity (düsmanlik)?

A: This part does not concern you, you only do what I said...but do not dare let Mahir catch you.

Y: Do not worry about this yenge. Know that this job is done.

A: Maybe he is at Dalyan, or in the neighbourhood, I do not know. Go and find him wherever he is.

Y: I will find him, and stick on him like a leech (be hot on his trail – ensesine sülük gibi yapismak).

A: Do not forget what I said. There is no getting caught, there is no such possibility. Let us say (diyelim ki) something happened and Mahir noticed you (fark etmek). I did not put you to follow him, or even the best is that you forget that you know me.

Y: Tamam yenge.

A: Tamam, what are you waiting for (ne duruyorsun)? Haydi, get out hurry up!

I love this Yasar, he looks so innocent and you all owe him one

Journalists: Karadayi will take care of your territory from now on, really? What do you say about the bride dress?

BH: I did not forget the good and the bad who has been done to me, and especially this dirty trick (backstabbing), I will also never forget this. Count down my days inside and Karadayi’s days outside. The day that I will be released will be my dawn, as for him, it will be his last day. Let the man write this like this in his mind, understood?

Feride arrived to THEIR home Mahir was inside hanging the picture frames on the wall but Feride came before Mahir hung hers. Feride was reluctant whether she should open the door herself or not She knocks

M: Feride

(Ahhh how Mahir had said her name happily )

F: Mahir

(and then Mahir came back to his senses)

M: Why did you come?

F: Are we going to talk here? Will you not let me in?

M: What is happening, Feride? Why do you not tell me.

F: I want to talk inside if you do not mind.

He lets her in Feride looks around in the house Especially their bedroom Then she sees Mahir’s family portrait on the wall.

M: Why did you come, Feride?

(Always that same god damn question, huh Mahir!!!!!)

F: We had a lot of dreams concerning this house, Mahir. You and I talked a lot about what we would go through between these four walls. While we were longing for each other this much all these years, how can you look at me like ice (with coldness)? How are you able to do this, Mahir?

M: That pain that they made me live through, Feride this hell I went through when they ripped out my soul and took it, that is what turned me to stone (taslastirmak) like this.

F: Alright, but is turning our love into stone that easy, Mahir? I understand you very well. But you are not only punishing (cezalanmak) those men, you are punishing me also. Me, you, our love. What is our fault, Mahir? Is it not a pity for us?

M: Why did you come, Feride?

(AGAIN THAT QUESTION!!!!! Mr. why did you come.)

F: They brought to the courthouse today the kabadayi that you turned in last night. They made a decision to arrest him while awaiting trial. But while the man was exiting the courthouse he started making threats (tehditler savurmak). He will hurt you.

M: The man was arrested, he is in prison yani.

F: His next hearing will be in one month at the latest. What if he gets released? What will you do if he comes after you, Mahir Kara? You humiliated (rezil etmek) the man. It is clear he bears a grudge (kin) against you. Plus, he is not scared or and is indifferent that he was screaming ‘I will kill him and get my revenge’ and left without even saying that there is police and that he is in front of the Courthouse

M: Let him get out first. At that time I will think about what I will do.

F: How can you be so unconcerned (umursamaz)? My mind is going crazy (worry near panic – akili çikmak) because something will happen to you.

M: There is no solution for what will happen and death, Hakime Hanim.

F: Do not upset (kahretmek) me more by talking like this. Did you lose your self-control (gözü karartmak), or become blind with rage (gözü dönmek) I do not know what to say. But you are not well, Mahir. This state of yours is not good.

M: You said what you wanted to say, Feride. It would be good if you leave.

F: You really erased me. You erased me not just from your eyes, but from your heart (gönül) as well. Look, I do not even have a place on your wall.

It is as if you never loved me, as if I never entered your life As if I disappeared.

Feride leaves slamming the door Mahir went back to what he was doing He takes Feride’s framed picture He looks at it, touching it And hangs it on the wall Close enough so when he sits he can be close to her picture. I like how it is a picture from episode 19.

Dalyan comes to Nail's carpentry atelier...

D: Good day (hayirli günler) to you Nail.

N: Oooh, Dalyan. Hos geldin. Buyrun have a seat. Eeeh, how you want your coffee?

D: No, I will not have one, thank you. As you know I am getting older, everything in excess affects the body.

N: Do not do this Dalyan, what is this speech? We still have a lot to do, my dear (iki gözüm means that in this context). And what did they say, a worthless person does not suffer hardship (aci patlicani kiragi çalmaz).

D: I came on hurry but I will not take much from your time.

N: Estagfurullah, buyrun.

D: Karadayi has sent news, and he wanted to see you and get acquainted with you.

N: Hmmm do not ask. These new rookies do not know the way of the order (system). I pasted the NO and I sent it in an stamped envelope.

D: If only you accepted, he is close to me like my son. I want him to get bigger in this world... I told you we got old. Before passing away (göçüp gitmek), helping (lending a hand – el vermek) is part of the procedures (racon). And I will lend Mahir a hand.

N: I did not know this part of the subject, Dalyan... Though when Hilmi came to the place of gambling and asked the parties about the boy, you mentioned the name of Karadayi, right? But at that time I would not know that it was like this in between you two. If I knew, I would not have rejected the young man. After all (ne de olsa) we have a friendship that lasted for years. What can do? Better late than never (geç olsun güç olmasin) right Dalyan? Since Mahir has requested, and since the young man is considered as your son Then let him come tomorrow night and let us get acquainted (tanismak)... And also not here, but to our place.

D: I will tell him Nail.

N: Eyvallah

D: Take care (saglicakla kal).

Seyis was at his farm with his men waiting for the weapons shipment to arrive. The truck arrived and the truck driver came out

Driver: Selamünaleyküm abi.

S: Aleyküm selam. It is if you were late.

Driver: No abi. I crossed the border (sinir) exactly on time.

S: What is wrong, is there any kind of a set back (aksilik)?

Driver: Do not ask abi. We crossed the shipment and got it stamped, then the police raided the place before we made two steps.

S: Do not say it.

Driver: The doors were closed at the right time. People from both sides were captured.

S: Say that we pulled it off (yirtmak) nicely.

Driver nods head with yes.

S: Open, let us see.

They opened the back of the truck and there were huge boxes full of weapons.

In Belgin’s beauty salon, Belgin was fixing a customer’s hair...

Customer: From here a little bit too.

B: Of course You look very beautiful. You look very beautiful. Believe me if Catherine Deneuve (dear Funda work on your French-names pronunciation xox) stands next to you, she will disappear. Yani it is to that degree.

Customer: You are very nice darling (cicim). Ellerine saglik. Look, do not dare forget about the perfume that I told you. Bring it from Paris.

B: Tabii tabii (of course). It is on my mind.

Customer: Haydi, ciao (good bye).

B: Ciao canim. I will wait for you next week.

Belgin (you cannot deny that she looks great) cannot believe she left. She walked and stood next to her assistance, Aysel.

A: You are so nice cicim.

B: Do not do it Aysel, do not. She drove me crazy (deli etmek), crazy! A dried-up (sort of an ugly, shrewish woman – kaknem) socialite. I wish she knew what she wanted. She made me like a candle on top of her head for hours.

A: Ahhh but well done for you abla. Does someone not appear broke just by looking at his eyes or eyebrows?

B: Eeeh, the work is like this sweetie (sekerim). Even if you throw blood, you will say I drank cranberry sherbet (kizilcik serbet). Crazy or what, customer gives the bread (income – nimet).

A: Tabii.

B: Show me your hands.

Aysel showed her fingers and the color she puts on her nails match the one Belgin has on.

B: I do not want to see this nail polish (oje) on you tomorrow. You will remove it. Come on ladies, let us clean up and leave straight away (bir an once).

A: Come one girls, the day is over.

Beautiful Belgin went to her office as the phone was ringing. It was Sosyete Yusuf who was checking about the weapons shipment. She picked up the phone

B: Allo, buyrun.

Y: It is me Belgin, Yusuf. What happened to our merchandise (mallar)?

B: It has crossed the border. It should even have been arrived to Seyis.

Y: Alright, but they said there was a raid.

B: I have information about it. But do not worry; our ship was the last one that escaped. As you can see, those came after us have sunk (batmak). There was a clash even when they seized the shipment of famous (meshur) Igor. The poor (zavalli) guy passed away (hakkin rahmetine kavusmak).

Y: What are you saying Mademoiselle (miss)? It is unfortunate for the man. Eeeh, what will happen now?

B: Ah Yusuf, let us have the conversation (lakirdi) later. I am exhausted (bitmek) from fatigue (yorgunluk). I still need to go home and change my clothes. I am coming to our place anyway.

Y: I look forward (dort gözle beklemek) to you coming mademoiselle.

B: Tamam, Haydi, Haydi.

Belgin was talking to herself, come on Belgin pull yourself together

Mahir was walking in the territory that Boksör Hilmi controlled... The groom (the man whose bride was saved by Mahir) was walking with him

G: You are a big man, abi. Look, the first day you came, the neighbourhood has become tranquil (found peace – huzura ermek). You saved me from staining my name and my honour. Is it too much if I stay around you day and night?

M: What is the reason for that my güzel kardesim. Go to your home and wife, that will be more appreciated (makbule geçmek).

G: No abi. I will not leave you from now on. Whatever the job (duty) there is, I accept it with pleasure (basim gözüm üstüne). I owe you my gratitude (gönül borcu).

My best friend Yasar was still following Mahir

M: Look my güzel kardesim. You owe me nothing. You accept this. Since you want to do something, then continue with your job (memuriyeti). Take care of your house and roof (dam). May you have beautiful children in your clean house. Raise a bright youth for the country (ülke).

G: Our good wishes are always with you. If you need anything, I am ready for all jobs.

The beautiful Belgin (ehehehhehehe) came out from her salon just behind where Mahir and the man were standing.

M: Eyvallah .

G: You have a heart brilliant like a diamond (pirlanta). May God make you come across someone that will know your value (kiymetini bilmek) and will make your face smile. Good evening (hayirli aksamlar) abi.

The groom’s words reminded Mahir of Feride (no need for this, mister the Groom Mahir already has found that person hehe)

The groom left and Mahir continued walking Belgim was driving her car (ooo driving a mustang I see ) behind him and she almost drove into Mahir. She pressed on the brake violently.

M: Be careful kardesim, are you blind?

(He thought it was a man, and then Belgin came out of the car).

B: You need to be more careful efendi. Did you notice that you are in the middle of the street.

M: Haydi, I am in the middle of the street. It is clear I was lost in thought (dalmak). But, your headlights (farlar) are off. How do you want me to notice that you moved?

Belgin came to see if the lights were really off.

B: I am sorry beyefendi. It is lack of experience (acemilik). I harshly press on the gas sometimes.

M: Then do not drive in traffic until you are used to it.

B: There is nothing wrong with you and no problem, why are you making it a big deal? I strongly urge you to walk on the sidewalk (kaldirim).

M: Ya sabiiiir (god give me patience)

(Mahir’s attitude with Belgin Hahaha)

Then each walk to their direction But, Belgin wanted to know more.

B: Hey look here

Mahir stopped and looked back.

B: Who are you? Unless you are the famous karadayi?

M: Yes.

Mahir walks away without giving much attention to miss Belgin

B: Pleased to meet you (memnun olmak)

Valla Belgin your situation is EXTREMELY tough if you want to land Mahir. Your chances are close to a nano/10-9 /0.000000001% – actually it is more accurate if we say yocto/10-24/0.000000000000000000000001% but I do not want to make you sob and have your mascara leak making you a dwarf racoon . But still, does not hurt to try especially when a man like Mahir is involved ;-)

Meanwhile my best friend Yasar is still after Mahir. Good boy, you continue like this until you get us the news that landed us a love scene between our two sexy tall towers in Episode 81.

_____________

Feride is writing in her diary as she sits by her vanity.

“Fate is testing our love once again Mahir Kara...

As long as one exists, one shall be tested.

While you look at me, you darken your eyes (you lose your temper) but my love, I can see the light (isik) inside your eyes

And your heart’s beat that is for us that you try to hide

This light is our love’s hope

And this heart is our love’s breath

Choose whichever path you shall choose.

Throw your heart as far away as you will throw it.

I will never give up on our future.

In spite of our fate, I will keep our love alive, Mahir Kara.

And no matter what I will protect you to the utmost of my strength...”

Nazif baba’s house, Yasin knocked on the door and Nazif opened the door for him

Y: Good evening baba. (he kisses his hand). I did not disturb you insallah.

N: What are you saying son. This is your house too, come on in. Sit my son.

Y: How are you doing? I did not ask about your situation (hatir sormak) for some time because of work.

N: The flaming fire that burnt our heart has been burning more furiously (harlamak) with Mahir’s winds (rüzgar). As you see, even the breath we take to live became forbidden to us. Nevertheless (mamafih – oh I miss you Turgut), there is no need (hacet yok) for explanations (izah), you must know what happened.

Y: I know baba.

N: Mahir Ufff Yasin. He entered such a path that has no return... that even if he wants to, he will not be able to exit from it. I am afraid with this direction (istikamet), he will be in a bitter emnity (kanli biçakli olmak) with you. You will do what is required from your job Yasin.

Then Songül came from upstairs.

S: Who came baba?

(She saw Yasin, but no smile on her face).

S: Hos geldin.

Y: Hos görduk.

_____________

In the prison, Boksör Hilmi was trying to bribe one of the guards to help him escaping for one night to fight Mahir. Hilmi was giving the guard stack of money.

BH: This is the price for one night of freedom. Do what is needed and fly me out of here tomorrow. Valla, I will not escape efendi. I have something to settle. I will finish it and return. I promise, I will be here early morning. Do you understand?

G: What if something happen?

BH: Nothing will happen. You will write me in the count at night, and you will leave the doors open. I will take care of the rest. Do you understand?

G: Tamam. Tomorrow night.

Back to Yasin and Songül at the backyard of her house. Yasin holds her hands

Y: My life (ömrüm), Songülüm... How are you?

Songül pulled her hand and picked a leaf.

S: How can I be I am handling (managing – idare etmek)...

Y: Listen, let me take permission from Nazif baba tomorrow and go to the shore (sahil). You will relax (açilmak) a little bit, do you want that?

S: No, I do not want.

Y: How about if we go to the movie (theater), it will distract you. There is a new Yilmaz Güney movie. Tamam, let me take you for a ride along the bosphorus by car and then pass by the Çay Bahçesi. We will not stay there for long if you do not want to.

S: Yasin, I will not leave home tomorrow. I do not feel like doing anything. I got cold, can we go inside?

Yasin nods with yes, and Songül threw the leaf on the ground, went back in.

I hate you Songül. You are fucking selfish. Be playing with Yasin’s feelings and cheating on him Since you do not love him, call off the engagement for God’s sakes instead of walking and kissing around with Osman !!!!!! You care about how your father will react but you do not think about Yasin’s feelings. I loathe girls like you. LOATHE LOATHE LOATHE. I live for the day that Yasin will catch you in the act.

Nazif was trying to get the thread through the needle and was having hard time

N: Ahhh hay allah

Then he looked at the family picture on the wall.

N : How will I do this Safiye? How will I continue to keep the order of this house? They say that the man is the backbone of the house. You were the foundation (temel) of our house. Oh, my wife that smells like the flower.

Ilknur walked in.

I: Baba

N: Huh, say it canim?

I: Baba, tell me the story of Incili Savus (figure of humour culture during Ottoman era). The tale (masal) that Nazif loved the most.

Nazif took his glasses off and put his hand on her head.

N: Once upon a time, the worshippers of God were many. But there was one among them that was the alternative for seven worlds...

Ilknur felt asleep .

Mahir was walking to Dalyan’s place and car came up... One of Hilmi’s men came out of the car and gave Mahir the message from Hilmi.

Man: Karadayi!

Then Dalyan’s men came and Mahir waived to them to stop.

Man: My brother Boksör sends you his regards. He is inviting you to the boxing ring tomorrow. He said let him come and we will settle our accounts (koz paylasmak) one-on-one (teke tek) and there is no weapon. The fists (yumruklar) will talk. Whoever knocks the other down wins.

Yasar hears it all.

M: Tamam.

The man left and Mahir went inside to see Dalyan. Dalyan was having a headache.

M: Are you alright abi

D: It will pass. Hos geldin. Where were you all day?

M: Walking around the neighbourhood.

D: Ah

M: While I was coming in, the Boksör’s dogs came.

D: Look, what was their problem (dert)?

M: The Boksör send news. He said to box tomorrow evening.

D: He is challenging (meydan okumak) haaa.

Mahir nods with yes.

D: Say that he will be a bird at night.

M: Evet (yes).

D: What did you say?

M: I agreed.

D: Right thing to do (en dogrusu), of course you will go. Gangster does not run away from the challenge.

Dalyan’s man came in and brought water and headache reliever.

D: Give me. These fights normally are clean. You cannot bring weapon, tool, etc. Whoever loses is dejected (süngüsü öne düsmek) and retires to pasture (kösesine çekilmek). Like the wrestler (pehlivan) who never gets enough from wrestling and boxing wants two in one. Do not let him hurt your head while boxing. You have another rendezvous right after the fight.

M: With who?

D: It is not with whom my lion, but it is with who (means many people). Kütük Nail received your request and said to let him come.

M: Is that true abi?

D: He invited you to a special place tomorrow night.

Mahir then knocked on the table.

D: Anyone that you are looking for and want to know will be there. Only the big gangsters can enter this place and not anyone else, specifically the special room that the big gamblers meet. It is almost (nerdeyse) impossible (mümkünsüz) for someone else to enter. Nail will welcome you in a special lodge (loca) at midnight. Yani Mahir, you got your ticket from the jackpot (büyük ikramiye).

_____________

At the gambling den in a very special room (I looooove that room), the gangsters were gathered around the table gambling (Nail, Yusuf, Seyis, Sari Cemal, and beautiful Belgin).

N: Eeee, is everybody here tomorrow?

Sari Cemal shakes his head with yes.

B: I have nothing to do.

Y: If there is be a game, I will be here monsieur (sir).

Se: What is going on Nail abi? What is the reason for this roll call (yoklama)?

N: I have a guest that I would like you to meet.

Sc: Really, who?

N: Karadayi.

The gangsters started looking around and wondering

Yasar came to Ayten’s house and was knocking on her door early in the morning

A: Allah, Allah, who is it at this hour? Who is it?

Y: It is me yenge, Yasar.

A: What are you doing at my house early in the morning?

Y: I have some important information yenge. I hardly waited for the morning.

Ayten was shocked.

_____________

Mahir was walking in his neighbourhood and stopped by Ismet’s bakery... He looked through the window and saw Ismet busy.

M: Hayirli isler.

Ismet was giving him bad look and Mahir did not like it at the beginning

M: You no longer have bread to sell to me Ismet?

Ismet came out and they were looking at each other then Ismet smiled.

I: The man who will not sell you bread is not born yet abi.

They hugged each other (what a brotherhood).

I: Mahir, you are my real brother from different parents. I accept your decision. My road is your road.

Mahir smiles

Nazif was trying to wake Songül up in her room

N: Songül, kizim. Haydi wake up kizim. It is morning my little.

S: Babacigim.

N: Haydi, you will be late. It is enough of this laziness (tembellik), have your breakfast and go directly to the university. Haydi canim.

S: I do not want to go baba.

N: What are you talking about kizim? You have studied a lot for this university; in addition you have promised me that you will finish it. You will be the only one in the family who studied higher education. You are our hope Songül.

S: But, I do not have any hope left from now on baba. Nothing is like before. I wish we can go back to the day that I promised you. I wish everything froze like that moment.

N: Canim, life repeats itself again kizim, the world spins without knowing how to stop, seasons (mevsim) will pass by, winter will change to summer, destiny and worries will dissipate and the pain will find an end...

S: How will our pain go away baba?

N: I do not know kizim. We will live and try but will not give up.

S: But

N: I know it is extremely difficult. Every breath you take, it burns your soul. Sometimes there is no power (mecal) left for the man to give money (eli oynatmak). But as long as this soul is in this body, you have to suffer its consequences (kefaret ödemek) and give life its right. You will make your dreams and hopes grassed (be green – yesertmek). You will kick off (start to act – harekete geçmek) again. Haydi, I made tea, fill up your stomach and go to school immediately. Haydi.

S: Alright baba, as you want.

A: The man is an old Boksör or what, though he cannot beat Mahir, but

They walked into Feride’s office and Feride was trying to contact the prison’s manager to check if the Boksör has escaped.

F: Allo, I am hakime Feride Sadoglu from Istanbul Courthouse. I have received a notice (denunciation – ihbar) regarding one of your prisoners Hilmi Sucu, he may have escaped. Would you give me information immediately?

M: There such an incident (vukuat) did not happen hakime hanim. But, if you are concerned, I will check and get back to you immediately.

F: Please, I am waiting urgently for news from you.

M: Tabii hakime hanim.

F: The müdür will inform us.

A: Insallah it is not true.

Suna knocked on the door.

F: Come on in..

Suna walked in and looked at Ayten. Ayten gave her bad look.

S: Günaydin Feride hanim.

F: Günaydin Suna. Ayten, what can I offer (ikram etmek) you? Do you want to drink coffee?

A: No, actually I am hungry. I left home early morning without eating anything. I live a certain way, it will affect me so I will not drink.

F: Suna, would you please buy (get us) simit and tea for us.

Suna did not like that but nodded with yes.

A: Uhhh and white cheese on the side please.

Suna nods with a fake smile (ahahaha).

F: Ayten, I will go and see Savci Ahmet (was he not dead – Ahmet Metiner – or they just love the name Ahmet ?) and return.

Feride wanted to talk to Suna and went outside her office and talked to her.

S: What is going on Feride? Since Ayten hanim came all the way here, it must be really important news.

F: Come Suna, Mahir can be in trouble at any minute. The gangster that he brought to prison.

S: Yes

F: He wants to settle things with Mahir. He had sent a message from prison, think about it.

S: I understand you Feridecigim. I notice your fear and concern, but being next to this lady bothers me. Is it appropriate for Ayten to come in and out of your office comfortably? In the end you are a judge, her husband is guilty and he is currently in prison. If we think about the work the lady is doing, your characters are different.

F: I realise that Suna. I know my cooperation (isbirligi) with Ayten is not suitable and these types of works are extremely dangerous. But what can I do? I have no other solution (çare). I have to prevent (mani olmak) Mahir. I cannot convince him with talk. I cannot stay close to him because of the sensitivity of my profession. Because the places that he is found at and the things he does are illegal (yasal degil).

S: I understand you Feride. While all eyes are on you, this solution seems to me dangerous a little bit.

F: Believe me, it bothers (discomforts me – huzursuz etmek) me as well when I request help from Ayten. But now it is impossible to tell her not to interfere from now on after we put one of her men to follow Mahir. In addition, what will happen to Mahir scares me more than what people think. I want this nightmare (kabus) to end already. I do not want Mahir to get hurt (cani yanmak).

S: Let me go and have them buy the simit and cheese for Ayten hanim.

Mahir and Ismet were walking along the shore

I: He passes by my shop and I also pass by his shop to ask him about his condition and if he needs something. His face does not smile at all abi. I asked myself inside where the old Nazif baba is. Tamam, his pain is big and cannot be described (tarifsiz), but your absence is heavier than anything else for him.

M: I wish there was another way, but there is not Ismet. There is no tranquility for me until I pull this game from its roots. I am more relieved because you are by their side kardesim. You have carried this responsibility without asking you.

I: Is what happened acceptable Mahir? They are not only your family, they are my family too.

M: Thank you kardesim. They are entrusted to you. Ismet, try to protect anyone who needs something in the neighbourhood not only my family. Find out who has a problem and let me know.

I: Tamam kardesim. Do not worry at all.

They hugged each other again.

I: Be safe Mahir, I will pray for you.

Ismet left and Mahir sat on a bench...

_____________

Back to Ayten and Feride in her office. Feride was patiently waiting for a call from the manager of the prison regarding Hilmi

F: Allah, does a roll call take this much time?

The phone rang and Feride picked it up.

F: Allo ..tamam. Thank you.

A: That was the manager?

F: Yes, the man has not escaped, at least (en azindan) for now (simdilik).

A: Allah Allah, Yasar heard it with his own ears.

F: I wonder where is Mahir? What is he doing? What is his situation?

A: Valla, I warned (tembihlemek) Yasar. I asked him to come every day at 10:00 o’clock in the morning, noon, 14:00 and in the evening and give the news, of course with the exception (hariç) of urgent matters. Yani, he will come to the casino in a while to give his report about Mahir.

F: Now it is 9:30, let us go then.

_____________

Mehmet Zalim was in his office trying to call the editor in chief (yazi isleri müdürü). Mualla brought him coffee (poison insallah Bak Mualla you have the choice in between arsenic, strychnine, or even one of the tetramine compounds group - I am only giving you some suggestions yani)

M: I brought your coffee efendim.

MS: Put it over here.

MS: Can I speak to the editor in chief. Tell him this is Mehmet Zalim Sadoglu. Muratcigim I am fine thank you. The country’s current situation bothers me When looking to the latest incidents it is not possible not to be sad. Yes, yes you are right. I will be at the Cennet restaurant at lunch time. Send some reporters (journalists) and I will give my statement (demeç) in regard to the way things are going (gidisat) in the Country and its situation. Thank you very much.

You always need everything to be about you HUH !!!!

_____________

I am sorry, but as much as Songül and Osman suit each other, Songül has really fallen from grace in my eyes ever since that stunt she pulled on Yasin. SO SKIIIIP Anyway she is just talking about skipping class, etc. Yasin was looking at Songül from afar He was blocking the road, so he had to drive away.

_____________

Mahir was still sitting on the bench by the shore Smelling Nazif Jr’s handkerchief

_____________

Necdet’s casino, Selim was giving orders to the workers to move on and finish preparing the place. Feride and Ayten arrived to the casino

S: Hos geldin yenge. Hayirdir (what is wrong), you are early?

A: Where is Yasar Selim?

S: He came and he is outside. Hayirdir? Is there a problem?

A: Selim, do not get involved in something that does not concern you and find Yasar for me quickly (çabuk).

Then Yasar came in running

(I swear this Yasar is too cute)

Y: You called for me yenge?

A: Come here for a minute.

F: Where is Mahir?

Y: He is at the shore down there.

A: I am leaving Ayten.

Feride left to go and see Mahir efendi.

Y: He also left in a hurry yesterday yenge, after that he left home and he was crying, yazik.

A: Really? How long did he stay in the house?

Y: I do not know, maybe 5 or 10 minutes. After that, he drove the car and left.

A: Anyway, come on run and continue following him, haydi.

_____________

Back to Mahir on that bench at the shore He was about to leave when he comes face to face with Feride Both get lost in each other’s eyes when Mahir finally goes back to his errrm to his “senses”.

M: How did you find me?

(ALWAYS THE SAME QUESTIONS!!!!!! HOW THIS HOW THAT WHY THIS WHY THAT Ufff Mahir )

F: I do not know. Call it the voice of my heart. If you want, you can say I followed (izini sürmek) my fears. My worries (endiseler) grow everyday and every night, Mahir. Please do not do this to me. Do not test me with these fears.

M: Do not do this, Feride. Give up on me. Give up on this fight (struggle – mücadele). Do not come in my way (yoluma çikma). What you are doing is making both of us sadder.

F: You do not do this. I am almost losing my mind from fear that something bad will happen to you. There is not one moment that I am not thinking about you and afraid for you. I do not sleep, Mahir. I do not eat, or drink. I just worry about you. Do these feelings of mine have no importance to you at all? Huh?

And Mahir leaves Feride without answering her

The song Geri Dönülmez Bir Yoldayim interpreted by Nese Karaböçek starts playing

He walks away and she breaks down in tears. He turns back, looks at her sobbing but he continues on his way, also deeply saddened.

“Geri dönülmez bir yoldayim – I am on a road of no return,

Bir avuç toprak son nasibim – I am the last one granted a handful of soil,

Gün günes olsa ben neyleyim – Even if the day is sunny, what should I do,

Gönlümde aksam oldu benim – It became evening in my heart

Bazen bir rüzgarim esen – Sometimes my wind who has blown,

Bazende de düsen bir yaprak – And sometimes a leaf who has fallen,

Tut ellerimi istersen – Hold my hand if you wish,

Maziye uzanarak – By stretching to the past

Bütün baharlar geçip gitti – All the springs have come and go,

Hayallerim artik hep sensiz – My dreams are all without you now,

Yasiyorum bak kaderimi – See, I am living my fate,

Agaçlar gibi sessiz sessiz – Just like trees, silently ”

_____________

The reporters were gathered at Cennet restaurant to take on Mehmet Zalim’s statement (more like for his little fanfare). The butthole arrived and the reporters were after him with questions.

Reporter: My honourable minister, last night an important operation has taken place (gerçeklesmek), what will you to say about this subject?

MS: Yes, large network (ring – sebeke) was brought down (çökertmek) yesterday evening. No matter how proud we are of Turkish police, it is little.

Reporter2: Is the talk about the three weapon shipment trucks correct efendim?

MS: Yes, true. Three shipments of weapons and bullets were seized before they became tool (mean) for bad plans. Who knows how many innocent lives would have been hurt with these weapons, but we prevented it. I am calling out (seslenmek) to all the smugglers that their road is not right. We will not allow this. We will be hard upon them (give no chance/respite – göz açtirmamak) and now if you excuse me, there are still lots of problems that need to be solved for the prosperity (refah) of this country (memleket), Have a good day.

The butthole went inside to have his poison and the reporters were after him. His dog Selim was waiting for him. Woof woof.

MS: The eyes of the entire country are on us Selim. Let them write and sketch out, but our merchandise is gone. Haydi I passed on that one, what about the promise that we gave to Günay? Igor’s death ruined us. Who will solve these issues from now on?

S: Certainly (muhakkak) it needs a new order (system), or it will be necessary not to use the existing (mevcut) one.

MS: Speak clearly (açik konusmak) man. I am not in a situation to solve a riddle (puzzle).

S: Seyis.

MS: Hum

S: The man is a smuggler and they are several partners. What if we make a deal with them

MS: Look, what you said is possible. When did you say that Necdet is coming out?

S: Today efendim.

MS: Wonderful. Bring him to me when he comes out. Let us put Necdet in control of this job.

S: With pleasure efendim. What do you want efendim?

MS: A foamy coffee.

S: Excuse me sir (to the waiter).

Süeda our dearest promiscuous blonde duck was outside the prison waiting anxiously for Necdet. Necdet came out and they hugged each other. Necdet asked her to be careful and not to hurt the baby. They were telling each other how much they missed each other. Süeda told him that it was hard without him. Süeda was asking if he only told her about his release. She asked him unless he has erased Ayten after she told him that she went on stage and sang. Necdet told her that he knew about it before she told him. He told her that it is his casino, his stage, and Ayten is his she will not go on stage without him knowing. Süeda asks whether he truly allowed Ayten to appear on stage He told her that it will be nicer until he comes out and do what is needed face to face. Süeda warned him not to leave her alone there and go to Ayten because it will be very hard for her. Necdet tells her look what he is doing and what goes on through her mind He called her here first because he wanted to see her then go home and do what is necessary at work.

vomits, even their “love” is disgusting

_____________

Feride was inside her room and Mualla knocked on the door

F: Come on in.

Mu: Feride hanim, you have a phone call.

F: Who? Is it Mahir?

Mualla shakes with no.

Feride went to see who is on the phone.

F: Allo. Buyrun it is Feride

Man: I am sorry to disturb you hakime hanim. It is me, Sabri Tolon the chief of the prison.

F: Buyrun müdür bey, I am listening.

S: You warned me this morning regarding a prisoner named Hilmi Sucu. He has escaped with the help of a guard.

F: What?

She dropped the phone and left

S: Allo Hakime hanim allo. Are you there hakime hanim? Allo

_____________

Mahir was at Dalyan’s office eating, Dalyan walked in

D: Afiyet olsun my lion.

M: Thank you abi. The men said you went home, that is why I did not wait for you.

D: You did well. I ate with the girls at home. But, this cannot be Mahir, the men supposed to get you lamb liver. As you know there is a fight tonight so you have to eat well.

M: There is no need abi. It is enough I am full.

_____________

Ayten was on the stage singing and saw Feride coming. She slowed down and stopped. She apologised to the audience. Feride waved to her with her head to go back and talk

A: What happened Feride? Do you not dare say that something bad happened.

F: The man has escaped Ayten. He will fight with Mahir, and to death. I saw the man. He seemed like he had gone crazy. I heard him with my own ears that he promised to kill him.

A: Tamam. What are we going to do now?

F: Where will they fight?

A: I never asked that.

F: Let us go and ask then. Let us find this man.

A: Tamam, let us go out. Maybe he is outside. Yasar.

Yasar came down from upstairs.

Y: Buyrun yenge.

F: Where will the fight take place?

Y: At the same place always abla.

F: Where is this place?

Y: There is storage where Kibrit Yasin holds the rooster fights. The fight will be there.

A: Tamam. I know this place. Wait, I will change my clothes and let us leave.

_____________

Boksör Hilmi arrived at the place that he will fight Mahir. His man was waiting for him

Man: Is there a problem abi?

BH: The place is empty. Is that not so?

Man: It is empty abi.

BH: Good. You fly, get me a very sharp knife and come. I will cut his neck like cutting an apple. He will not get away with it. Do you understand? Since I wore the dress, let us shed Karadayi’s blood (kan akitmak) and save our honour.

The pansy goes back inside Oooo what a coward, for an ex-boxer Quite the charming type too eh Right folks ?

_____________

Feride was driving and heading with Aytan to the place that Mahir will fight.

A: We are on our way, what can we do by ourselves Feride? We cannot interfere between the men when they fight.

F: This fight will not happen Ayten. Do not worry.

A: We will prevent them by ourselves? I wish we would have thought about it and took two men with us before leaving the casino.

F: I called the police while you were changing your clothes.

A: Very good, wonderful. The police you say is Mahir’s friend anyway. Did you not say by yourself that Yasin tricked (fooled) you? What about if he knows about this fight and did not say anything?

F: It is not Yasin. There is someone that I know. I met him when I was on duty in Agri. He is the chief of police of the region. I contacted him, though contacting the man for a small thing like this was not nice. But because the police were going to give the information and they were going come here, since we cannot wait, I saw it appropriate to call the high ranks.

A: Aman aman çok sükür, you did well.

F: I have explained to him the situation and he will do what is needed.

_____________

Boksör Hilmi was in a room waiting for his man to bring him a sharp knife. The man walked in

Man: The thing is ready abi.

He handed him the knife.

BH: Aferin

He hides it in his socks.

What a bunch of pansies!!!! That that is needed left is the two of them wearing teletubbies costumes carrying with them a basket of pansies! Cowards.

On the other hand, Mahir and Dalyan arrived at the same place.

D: They have come.

They both walked inside.

D: Mahirim, let us leave from here just like we walked through this door haaa. I am not the one who will advise (nasihat vermek) someone like you regarding the fight. But, I have the paternity right on you. Be careful, Allah’a emanet ol.

M: Thank you Dalyan abi. Let us finish our work here, I will leave from here safely and go directly to the gambling place. I will enter their passages (dehliz) and sit on their table; otherwise there is no meaning for me to walk on this road abi.

Mahir walked inside the fighting room and Boksör Hilmi was waiting for him with his dog.

BH: Vay vay vay. Karadayi came. I said you will be afraid and will not come.

M: Why should I be afraid of someone wearing a wedding gown?

(Hilmi did I not tell you to go put on Teletubbies’ Tinky Winky’s costume on???)

BH: Look at me

M: Hide your anger for the fight. Haydi, if you are ready let us start. I have a lot of work to do.

They walked in the ring.

BH: Your only work from now on is to come out of eternal rest.

They started fighting and the Boksör landed a couple on Mahir. Then it was Mahir’s turn. He hits him with a hammer and knocked the Boksör down. The Boksör then pulled the knife from inside his socks. (I know, that is the feeling you get when you know you cannot beat Mahir, right Hilmi )

BH: I will kill (gebermek) you.

Dalyan was worried when he saw the knife. Then police walked in HELLO VEHBI DURU.

Police: It is the police. Stay wherever you are and stop the fight.

VD: Catch this fugitive.

The police caught and arrested Hilmi.

P: Get going Hilmi efendi.

VD: Did you escape from prison for this?

BH: Is this your manhood (erkeklik)? Is this how a real mean should be?

Mahir shows him the knife to prove his point

VD: Take this dog and put him in the hole that he came out from.

Police: Yes müdür bey.

VD: Let me see the guard who sold his profession to this early morning tomorrow.

Police: As you wish müdür bey.

VD: Scatter you two, go and do not let me put you all in prison.

Feride and Ayten were waiting outside little bit far from the entrance of the fighting place. Feride saw someone coming out of the place.

F: Look, it is him. They came out.

They were about to hold hands, but they came back to their senses at the last minute eeehahahaha

A: Eeeh, where is Mahir? Why he did not come out?

F: I do not know Ayten. Please do not call for bad things.

Vehbi saw Feride waiting in her car and he asked the police to wait for him for a couple of minutes.

F: Vehbi efendi is coming.

Feride came out of the car to talk to him.

F: Iyi aksamlar.

VD: Iyi aksamlar.

F: It looks like you found the prisoner.

VD: You were right hakime hanim. The Boksör Hilmi escaped from prison and came here. When we raided the place, the fight only had just started. We caught him quickly and took him in.

F: Thank you very much Vehbi bey.

VD: I should thank you on the behalf of the police corps. This is our job, and as a result of (bu vesileyle) this, I saw you again.

F: I will visit you at your office (makam) as soon as possible (en kisa zamanda).

VD: Iyi geceler.

F: Good night.

Feride got back in her car.

A: Haydi, let us go.

F: Mahir did not come out yet. Let us just see if he is alright or not.

A: It cannot be. If Mahir catches us, he will do really bad things. Also, if something happened, the man would have told you. Haydi

F: You are right.

They buckled and left.

_____________

Back to Mahir and Dalyan

M: He wanted to fight with this.

D: Whore (kahpe – it can also mean back-stabbing), serefsiz is not with the money He was not courageous enough to come before you empty-handed. Despite that let him bring whatever he wants, you still would have knocked him on the ground. This means, they understood that he escaped. But, I cannot understand this at all; how did they know he came to here?

M: I do not know abi. Let us get out. Let me go to the place before midnight.

D: You are right. Let us go my lion.

_____________

Beautiful Belgin (hhahhaha) arrived at the gambling den where Mahir was invited and walked to the room where the gangsters gathered at the table

B: Good luck (seytaniz bol olsun) gentlemen.

N: Oh Our singer has come. We can now start with the real game.

B: Forget about playing now Nail abi. I have very important information.

N: When was it the last time you gave us unnecessary (lüzumsuz) news? Say it.

Belgin looked at Yusuf.

Mahir arrived at the place with Dalyan.

D: Do not think it is quiet as it seems. Anyone who passed from outside does not know what kind of work is inside. Even entering through the gate (door) is difficult and locations inside are like floors and floors. It is impossible to sit on the table that you want.

M: My table is clear abi. One of them has invited me.

D: Carry on your road; meet the one that you were curious about that from now on let your birth begin. I will return to the casino. When you finish your work, come and see me. Do not let me worry.

Dalyan tapped on Mahir’s arm and Mahir came out of the car and went inside the place.

Men were outside and welcomed him. Mahir walked inside the gambling house, looking around, and surprised of what he was seeing. The man pointed out to him to follow him. He finally arrived to the special room that he was supposed to meet all the gangsters. Two guards (men) were standing by the door.

Man: Buyrun.

M: Inform the ones who are inside. They were waiting for me.

Man: Whom should I say that came?

M: Tell them Karadayi came.

The man shakes his head and went to tell them. He came out and gave Mahir the bad news.

Man: Excuse me Karadayi, but I cannot let you in.

M: Why? Nail abi has invited me.

Man: I do not know that. But, Nail abi said that we have no business with someone who works for the government (devlet).

M: What are you saying kardesim? What government (State)? What business?

Man: I do not know this either. Nail abi said that “he used his fiancée hakime hanim and turned the Boksör into the police tonight. Maybe he is an informant, from where would we know and still invite him to our table”. Yani, this door is closed to you Karadayi

Mahir is in “what the heck” mode Completely dumbfounded. Episode ends.
