Hello?

Ms. Ayhan?

What’s going on Ferhat?

Is there something wrong?

I am sorry to bother you at this time.

Don’t worry about it, is there a problem?

I want to divorce Asli.

Can you file a lawsuit?

Ferhat, listen,

I know you two are having a rough ride lately

and I know it is not up to me but...

Can you do it?

Yes, Ayhan?

I hope I didn’t wake you up.

No, I wasn’t sleeping.

Ferhat just called me.

Is that so?

He wants me to be his lawyer.

For what?

He wants to divorce you.

Is that so?

Asli, listen,

Ferhat is really not a man who wants to divorce,

he is more like a helpless and trapped man.

If he is determined, he’ll do it.

Don’t let him do it.

Ayhan, I need to hang up.

Okay.

Why are you still up?

I couldn’t sleep.

Maybe I am doing my best to sleep.

So maybe sleep can save me from my problems.

No, it can’t.

Maybe I am doing it even though I know it won't work.

It is ridiculous.

It is.

I am hungry.

Are you?

Tell Hulya to prepare you something to eat.

Shall we cook together?

What do you want?

Pasta, maybe.

Menemen.

We can’t make stuffed vine leaves at this hour.

Are you crying?

No I am not, it is the onion.

You have to kill it, right?

Hmmm.

It may remain raw.

Yes.

That’s why you have to kill it.

Sometimes I feel like my head’s scrambled.

Not scrambled enough.

You want my head to be more scrambled?

I don’t understand.

I mean the egg.

You may scramble it more.

Is it good enough?

It is.

He is not asleep yet, Gulsum?

No, he is not.

Maybe he has gas.

I relieved it actually.

Give him to me.

Come here now, oh.

Yigit, can you get me a blanket, honey?

My baby.

Ozgur was like this too.

He never slept.

We almost begged him to sleep.

We could do anything for him to sleep a little.

Spread it out.

Gulsum, hold it please.

Let me pass.

We almost hurt our arms when we were swinging Ozgur.

Right, Yigit?

I used blankets to make all three of you sleep.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree then...

Mrs. Yeter, I prepared the room for you,

maybe you two have to squeeze a little in the bed though.

No, I can’t let you do that.

I already did it anyway.

What about you two?

I took care of it.

Everything will be okay.

Come on, finish it.

No, I am full. You finish it.

The bite of kindness always goes waste anyway.

That’s why I say you should finish it.

It is always like that.

But I don’t let that happen.

I eat it.

Is it good?

It is.

Bless your hands.

Enjoy it.

Thanks.

You are leaving it just like this?

I mean the table.

In the morning, tell Hulya to take care of the mess.

So you just want to leave it as a mess.

Forget about it.

Let it stay a mess.

Thank you.

For what?

For accepting my offer, to go Yigit’s place.

That’s why.

No problem.

It was very important for Gulsum.

You are mad at her, though it was good to her.

Fine.

That’s why I thanked you.

Fine, you did.

Would you like to eat some fruit?

Suna, you...

You should check on Ozgur.

He was coughing.

Okay, honey.

I know we are bothering you.

Thanks for letting us stay here.

Did you shoot Namik Emirhan?

Are you asking me this, as a prosecutor or as a son?

Will you answer me?

I use my right to remain silent.

You told me that.

So I follow your advice.

But why?

Why did you do such a thing?

You have already made up your mind, son.

Sometimes, being silent is the most obvious answer.

That’s what my job taught me.

And life taught me to remain silent.

To endure.

So you want to keep it a secret?

Whatever you say.

Besides, what does it matter if I shot Namik Emirhan or not?

You can remove the bullet.

The wound could heal.

What about the other wounds?

What about Gulsum?

What about her?

I don’t know.

How could you do such a thing?

How could you hide it for such a long time?

We just did, son.

A mother can do anything for her kids.

But truths are always revealed, sooner or later.

Life has no secrets.

You are right.

Who is the father?

She doesn’t tell.

She doesn’t?

Why?

Are you so worried about your sister?

That’s not my point.

Why would it matter? Whoever the father is.

She is left stranded with a kid in her arms.

That’s what it is.

You are right.

What really matters is what you two will do.

We can take care of ourselves.

Don’t worry about it.

Excuse me.

You lose sleep about something, doctor?

Yes, I just can’t sleep.

Is there something wrong?

There is always something wrong in this house.

It is weird that you ask.

But if you have something to tell me, I can listen.

I don’t.

Why are you awake?

I don’t like to sleep much.

Are you thinking about Gulsum?

There is a lot to think about, but anyway.

I guess they are going to Bolu.

They can.

It is okay for you then.

They better take care of it.

They had it coming.

And didn’t tell me anything.

Gulsum needs you, Ferhat.

And I need some answers.

Is that what your life is?

It is built on questions and answers?

Is that all?

Exactly.

Fine, then.

Answer me also.

I can answer any question, doctor.

Do you hear me?

I can answer any question.

Why do you just turn your back and leave then?

Are you available?

Yes.

He is asleep.

He is.

Is it this easy for you to turn your back on those who love you, Ferhat?

I am not turning my back on anyone.

Are you sure?

I am tired of these questions and answers.

It is normal, because the answers are really difficult.

It is easier to fire your gun up in the air, right?

Why aren’t your mom and Gulsum here?

Especially in such a time that they need you most.

It is turning your back on them, isn’t it?

Isn’t it running away?

Did I ask them to do that?

Did I ask them to lie all the time?

I didn’t, right?

That’s why they should take care of themselves.

And don’t think about them much, go to bed.

If you don’t feel like sleeping and if you want to talk,

I’ll be here.

I appreciate it.

Ferhat, I say they are going to go to Bolu.

They shouldn’t go there.

Just don’t think about such things much.

Let them go wherever they want.

You escape fighting.

It is beneath you.

You did something wrong.

You and your mom.

I am so sorry.

I mean,

how long could you hide from everyone?

What were you thinking?

How could we tell the truth?

Of course, you don’t know brother Ferhat well.

Yes.

You are right.

I don’t know him.

Anyway. The damage is done.

The important thing is what you will do now.

Mom says we are supposed to go to Bolu.

I know.

She told me.

I don’t want to go there.

What can we do there?

Be patient.

Don’t worry.

It will be okay.

It will be okay, right?

Brother...

Even now I feel hopeful, you know.

That it will be okay.

Until now, nobody’s ever looked at me when I said brother.

But you just did.

I miss you both so much.

Go on, get some sleep.

Good night.

Good night.

Dad?

When did you come? I didn’t hear anything.

It wasn’t that long ago.

By the way,

why are you still up?

Are you worried about something?

Ferhat called me.

He wants to divorce Asli and prefers me to be his lawyer.

Aren’t you going to sleep?

I am going to stay here for a while.

You can go to bed.

What are we going to do, Yigit?

What do you mean, Suna?

Is there going to be a distance between you and your family?

We have never been close.

Don’t you think it is a pity?

Come on, Suna.

Are we supposed to talk about it again?

We are not, Yigit.

You have let your mom and sister stay here.

Just stop fighting yourself, please.

It is not what I am doing. I am not fighting myself.

You always say that your brother left you.

Just don’t do the same thing.

Don’t compare him with me.

Do you understand? Don’t compare him with me!

There is no difference between you and him.

I know Gulsum made a mistake or she was fooled,

I don’t know, whatever.

But she is, your sister.

She is a mother.

She is afraid to look into your eyes even as her baby is in her arms.

A sister is never afraid to look into her brother’s eyes,

she shouldn’t be.

On the contrary, she should know that she can trust him.

Until now, nobody’s ever looked at me when I said brother.

But you just did.

Good night, Suna.

Are you going to sleep?

You said you would stay here for a while.

You are running away, aren’t you?

Good night.

Good night.

Gulsum, I am outside.

Where are you going?

I am going to the bathroom, mom.

How are you?

As you know.

How is Necdet?

He is fine, asleep.

You know, brother Yigit helped me to put him to sleep.

You better leave before someone sees you.

I’ll be fine, Gulsum.

But I am afraid.

Gulsum, I have been thinking...

You have been thinking and saying that

me and my mom should leave, right?

How could you say that, Gulsum?

Really?

Gulsum, listen.

Once you left the house,

I mean you and Necdet left the house,

a big piece of my heart was torn off.

I have been thinking that what we could do about it...

So I have a crazy idea in my mind now but,

I am afraid to tell you.

What is it?

Listen, Gulsum,

someday Necdet will grow up and ask you where his father is.

Well, this shouldn’t happen, a boy growing up without a father.

It is a very difficult thing.

Of course, it is difficult for a girl too but...

I don’t know, well.

A boy needs a man

who can teach him how to shave, how to make a kite...

A man who the boy can steal money

from his pant pocket for allowance,

ask for the man’s car keys...

He needs a man that, when he is in love he could go and say,

“I love her so much, dad, but, she sees me as a friend or a brother,

I am really scared to hurt or lose her.”

He needs a man like that.

I mean, I have been thinking and...

I mean, just don’t get me wrong please.

Just for Necdet, if we get married...

I mean if you and I get married,

on his identity card it will be saying

his mother’s name Gulsum and father’s name Abidin...

Gulsum, just don’t get me wrong,

I am just thinking about Necdet.

What have you done, Abidin?

Abidin, what have you done!

You shitty mouth! I am one big shitty mouth!

Abidin!

What have you done, Abidin!

Is that what your life is?

It is built on questions and answers?

Is that all?

Answer me also.

I can answer any question, doctor.

You escape fighting.

Did you tell Asli anything?

Who is it?

Ferhat.

He is asking if I told Asli about the divorce.

I guess he couldn’t tell her.

His mind and heart are having a fight.

If his mind wins, it will be a shame.

Do you think so?

Maybe he is trying to buy some time.

He needs courage, not time.

Maybe I shouldn’t be involved.

Dear, it is not about if you get involved or not.

I mean, maybe he is having a hard time to tell her but,

I am not sure if he regrets.

I know guys like him well.

Now,

just tell him that,

you haven’t talked to Asli yet.

So he can have a good night’s sleep.

Okay.

Uncle, get well soon.

I should say thank you but I don’t feel like it. Goodbye.

Wait, uncle, just wait.

Don’t hang up.

I need to say what I have to say,

then you can do whatever you like.

Do tell.

I know who shot you.

How do you know?

Are you kidding me, uncle?

I am saying that I saw who shot you.

It was interesting though, I was surprised.

Cut to the chase, Cuneyt.

Calm down, uncle.

I am just trying to help you.

I thought you would want to know the guy who shot you,

that’s why I am calling.

The guy?

Yes,

I couldn’t see his face, he was facing away.

But I saw him walking with a gun in his hand.

Tell me.

That’s better, uncle.

I told you that,

someday you would trust and stop ignoring me, right?

So it is the day then.

Listen.

Everyone should think that,

this is a mafia showdown, okay?

I am sending you some small gifts,

whoever gets suspicious about Yeter,

show them the gifts.

Uncle?

Are you there?

Find out who that guy is, Cuneyt.

I will, uncle. Don’t worry.

And the thing about Gulsum is just a disaster.

Enough.

Okay.

Of course, I forgot.

I am tiring you out while you are in a hospital.

We’ll have plenty of talk.

We’ll have time for that.

We will solve it together, don’t worry.

Just don’t forget that,

everyone is plotting against you, especially Ferhat.

Once you fall down,

Ferhat will stab you in your back.

I will be the only one who stands by you.

Leave the house tomorrow, Cuneyt.

Vildan?

You were curious about where I had been.

You know my uncle will come out of the hospital soon.

He won’t like to see you here.

Let’s see once he is out of the hospital.

Maybe I make up with him.

Maybe there is no problem.

What are you planning, Cuneyt?

Don’t worry about such things.

Just go to bed, my beautiful wife.

I talked to Namik.

I told him that Yeter and Gulsum left.

They are getting out of the hospital.

They will be here soon.

We were so scared for him.

But I am glad it is over now.

The one who shot him is still at large.

I don’t know how.

Good morning.

What happened?

Who made your face look like a disaster scene?

Do you like it?

I laughed at what he said.

The disaster scene. It is not a big deal.

Just had a quarrel while driving.

Well, you should be careful about whose road you drive on.

If you are not, they will hurt you like this.

You are right, brother.

Sometimes someone unexpected can be a hard nut to crack.

We all should be careful.

Yes, you should.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Enjoy it.

Sister Asli, shall we go?

Now I see that Ferhat doesn’t even

have to say something to you.

You just move like his equerry when he makes a gesture.

I am happy with my life, mother.

It will be much better, if you try that too...

Let’s go, sister.

Ferhat, I guess you have changed your mind.

About what?

We were supposed to talk.

But you’ve organized things with no intention to join me.

That’s how I feel like.

Is there a problem?

No there is none.

Is there anything else you’d like to say?

No.

You didn’t take care of that thing that

I told you about in the quarry, Cuneyt?

What thing, brother?

Didn’t I tell you to talk to the excavation workers?

It has been weeks.

I forgot.

I’ll call them now, brother.

Don’t call,

just don’t. I took care of it.

There is a meeting today.

Just don’t forget things again.

Yigit.

Have you thought what we talked about yesterday?

Listen, don’t let them go to Bolu with a baby on their arms,

like they have nobody to take care of them.

Huh?

-Mom? -Huh?

Maybe my aunt would like this, right?

Yes, maybe she would.

You can ask her, dear, put it on the table.

Mom?

Yes, baby?

My aunt should visit us more often.

With her baby.

They can stay in my room.

I will let him play with my toy cars when he’s grown up.

Okay, baby, we’ll tell her.

But the baby is so cute, isn’t he?

He has the same name with my second one.

Yes, you are Ozgur Necdet.

That’s your grandfather’s name.

When a mom and dad love their parents so much,

they name their kids after them.

Right?

My baby.

Gulsum.

Gather your things so we can leave.

I will tell Yigit to take us to the coach station.

Okay.

Mom,

brother Abidin came here last night.

He has an idea that...

Breakfast is ready.

My mom is waiting for you.

We have peanut butter too.

Okay, baby, we are coming...

Let’s go.

It is better like this, sister.

How could we let them go back to the village?

Right?

Sister Asli?

Are you okay?

I am okay, Abidin.

I am sorry, I didn’t hear what you said.

I said, I am glad you are here.

If it wasn’t for you,

my aunt and Gulsum could never go back to home.

Ferhat would have never accepted that, I know him.

It doesn’t have to do with me, Abidin.

It does, sister Asli.

You don’t know.

My cousin’s changed a lot since you came along.

I don’t know whatever you said to him, but he seems convinced.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told us to take them back.

Let’s see if they can be comfortable in the house.

There are lots of people who are willing to bother them.

It won’t be easy for them.

You are right.

Thank God, we have you, sister Asli.

Maybe you do, maybe you don’t, Abidin.

What do you say?

I am just saying.

I wish Ferhat was here too.

I know that my aunt will resist us.

She would accept it right away if her son was here.

Ferhat would never come.

He loves to escape fighting, you know.

I know.

Sister Asli,

I have been thinking that...

I am sorry, Abidin.

Yes?

What was the medicine you gave him?

Okay, go on with that dose,

I’ll be in the hospital after I handle something.

Okay.

Shall we?

What do you want, from me, Ferhat?

I love you, do you understand me?

Is that what your life is?

It is built on questions and answers?

Is that all?

Exactly.

Fine, then.

Answer me also.

I can answer any question, doctor.

Why do you just turn your back and leave then?

I’ll get it...

Oh, Asli?

Welcome, come in.

We are just having breakfast.

Come in, please.

Enjoy it.

We better not have breakfast now.

We are here to take Mrs. Yeter and Gulsum home.

What?

What do you mean by that?

Ferhat asked us to take you home, you know.

He asked.

Isn’t he here now?

He is not, unfortunately.

He is busy. As usual, you know.

Well anyway, maybe this is better,

as you can keep staying in Istanbul.

Right, Yigit? Why don’t you say something?

They should know what’s best for them.

No way.

We can’t go back to the house.

Please, Mrs. Yeter.

We don’t have the face to go back there.

Isn’t that right, Gulsum?

Can you go back there feeling right?

Aunt, please calm down and think like that.

Mrs. Yeter, please. That is your house too.

Nobody can kick you out as long as you don’t want to.

And you just can’t leave like this, without thinking.

Please.

And after some time, you can talk about this and find a solution,

right?

Actually, I don’t want to go to Bolu.

But my brother will never talk to me again.

Okay, let’s do it like this.

My father’s place is available, if it is okay for you,

I can take Gulsum there and Mrs. Yeter will go with Abidin.

Gulsum, you can stay there as long as you want.

I need to rest my head anyway,

we can go back to the house anytime we want.

Is that okay?

I don’t know.

That’s okay, don’t worry.

Let’s go.

Good morning, daddy.

Good morning.

Are you going to visit your mother?

As I do every year.

Then I am going to meet Yigit to talk about the case.

How is it going?

There will be no problem unless someone tries to hinder it.

Okay.

Enjoy it, daddy.

Why did they go?

They will come again, baby.

Finish the breakfast.

I guess Mrs. Yeter will be convinced, right, Yigit?

I guess.

You could have been a bit nicer to them.

Though you weren’t that bad, you know.

After you scolded me.

Your dad is like a diamond.

But he is kind of a difficult guy.

What is diamond?

That’s me.

Alright, son of the diamond, finish that.

Go on.

Oh well, I feel relieved now, aunt.

Get me to the bus station, Abidin.

What?

What bus, aunt?

We are supposed to go home!

I can’t live there anymore.

I just can’t deal with anyone.

Oh my God,

just forget about them, aunt, they will talk for a while and then stop.

And you just can’t go like you run away.

What about Gulsum?

She should take care of herself.

Oh, my God.

If you won’t take me to the station, then pull over, Abidin.

I can take a cab.

Okay, aunt, okay then.

Yes?

Dear Yeter?

Hello, this is Idil.

How are you?

What do you want?

I know it has been tough for you, but don’t be sad.

I’ll be your relative soon.

We can visit each other often.

Goodbye.

Aunt, who was it?

You seem angry.

I am not going to Bolu.

Let’s go back to the house, Abidin.

That’s more like it, aunt!

Get in the living room.

You have such a lovely place.

Of course, it is a family place.

I don’t remember our family home...

-Asli. -Yes, dear.

You and my brother had a fight again, right?

That’s why we are here.

We are here for you two.

For you to be comfortable.

Okay?

Ferhat is just being Ferhat.

If he can manage to calm down, maybe I can talk to him someday.

What will happen then?

What do you mean?

You, I mean you and my brother.

I am like a leaf, I just fly away with the wind.

But you are strong.

Why are you guys like that?

Maybe,

we are not strong enough anymore, Gulsum,

maybe we’ve come to the end of the road.

What about love?

Isn’t that the most important thing?

Love is strong enough for anything, right?

It is, actually.

But sometimes, obviously it is not.

Sometimes even love is not enough.

As we can see now.

Anyway, I am going to the hospital now, I have to.

Okay, Asli I need your advice about something.

Gulsum, they called me from the hospital,

it is an emergency, so I really need to go.

Well, can we talk about it tonight?

Of course, okay.

Okay, call me if you need anything.

Welcome.

Thank you, Zeynep.

Come in, honey.

Thank God, dear, Namik.

We were really scared.

Welcome, uncle.

Thank you, thanks.

Namik has to rest.

Come with me, honey.

Where is Yeter?

Namik, whoever did this to you,

find and call them to account for it.

We can find and punish them together.

Just get some rest, it is a long story anyway.

Come with me, honey.

I wonder what my uncle will do when he finds out about Gulsum.

Come in, come in, dear Namik.

Come in.

Let me get the pillow...

Don’t worry, sister, it is okay like that.

You feel better, right honey?

Yes, I do.

You may leave, I need to talk to Cuneyt about the business...

So tell me then.

Have you found the guy?

No.

Nobody knows who erased the camera records in the hotel.

But that guy came to the hotel.

By a car or a cab.

I will check the entrance and the exits.

Don’t worry. I won’t let him escape.

Out.

Uncle, listen.

Cuneyt,

this is your last chance to win my favour, you know that, don’t you?

You need to find that guy.

And I want to know who he is related to,

what he is doing or when he breathes.

Just don’t do anything wrong this time.

I have learned my lesson, uncle.

Don’t worry.

Fine.

Go on then, show me what you’ve got.

This is much better, aunt.

I am glad you are not leaving.

Giving up easily has never been my cup of tea.

Of course.

And don’t worry about my mother.

She can’t get the best of you easily.

Don’t worry.

I won’t be deterred by anyone.

That’s my house.

Everyone should know their places.

Besides, you have me too, aunt.

Don’t worry, I won’t let them speak ill of you...

By the way,

I have been thinking about something, aunt...

Well, anyway.

I should talk to Ferhat first.

What are you going to talk to him?

Nothing, aunt, nothing.

Are you going to join the seminar?

I don’t know, Dilara, I don’t think so.

It is an important seminar, you really have to join it, Asli.

Actually, I could do that, why not?

Last year I had a great time.

That’s more like it!

I’ll talk to you, okay?

Okay, I will let you know when the registration is.

-See you then. -See you.

What gives, doctor? Where are you going?

It is about the job, don’t worry.

Well, well, why wouldn’t I get worried?

I don’t know.

You never worry about a thing related to me,

so you shouldn’t worry about that either.

Listen to me, doctor.

If there is something you want to tell, just tell me.

Pour your heart out.

Just don’t show off to me.

That’s exactly what I was going to ask you,

is there something you want to tell me?

Why are you here?

I talked to the mute.

Gulsum is not home, where is she?

She is in my house.

Where is your house.

My family’s house.

I took you there once, don’t you remember?

I didn’t know how you would react to her, so I took Gulsum there.

Fine, tell her to come back home.

You want her to be around, but not near you, the same story.

So, it is like that with your sister too then, fine.

I am tired of such words, you know that.

I am glad you are tired of them,

that means you can feel something.

I wonder from who she’s got those words...

What is going on now?

Aunt.

Get inside, I need to go somewhere, okay?

Where is your daughter?

None of your business.

Why do you care?

I see that once Ferhat found out everything, you just ran away.

Were you afraid of his wrath?

What brings you here now?

Listen to me, you dirty bastard.

I am listening.

You should be grateful that, nobody’s mentioned your name yet.

That was your only option.

Otherwise, I would go to heaven while your son would go to hell.

Am I wrong?

Don’t worry, I can keep your secret.

What are you doing here?

Weren’t you supposed to leave?

I changed my mind.

What would I have done in Bolu anyway?

I said to myself, Yeter, this is your home.

Here I am.

I am not going anywhere.

You are such a barefaced woman.

And you don’t feel ashamed.

Why would I feel ashamed?

Don’t play dumb with me.

Namik didn’t give you away because...

Huh?

Don’t start what you can’t finish, Idil.

Let’s say I shot Namik.

And everybody knew that.

What do you think would happen?

I would go to jail and you’d live happily ever after?

No.

Everyone would investigate that.

To find out why.

It would be a complete mess.

And Namik would kick you out soon, as you added fuel to the flames.

Is that what you want?

If you want that, just go and tell everyone that Yeter did it.

Who would believe you anyway?

You’ll be punished sooner or later, Yeter.

I wonder when.

Sassy.

You know that, don’t you?

You are blind and you are aware of that, right?

What sauce is this?

Your daughter brought disgrace to us,

don’t you have just a bit of honour?

Leave me alone.

You think you know everything,

but you don’t know how to be a brother.

And you are a big sister all of a sudden?

Maybe. At least I try to understand Gulsum.

Listen, you both lied to me.

You hear me? Both of you.

Gulsum lied about hiding the baby and you lied about the birth.

Do you always tell the truth, Ferhat?

Are you clean as a whistle?

Are you a truthful person?

Stop talking about me, it is not about me.

It is exactly about you.

You are in the middle of everything.

Or you think like that.

Yes?

Tell me now.

Where are you?

We’ll talk again, doctor.

We’ll talk, it is not a problem.

What is it? What are you looking at?

You have no idea what happened here when you helped Namik.

Mom.

What you do is such a shame.

Does the shame belong to me?

Tell me, please.

You know the baby, Abidin and Sadiye’s son.

Yes?

Apparently, he is Gulsum’s baby.

Oh!

I can’t believe that, how could that be possible?

Let’s ask that to her mother.

To find out how her daughter got knocked up and hid it from everyone.

Well done to her.

Well, Yeter?

Dear Yeter, there is such a busy agenda in the house

and you never told me.

Because it is none of your business.

Whatever happens in this house is a concern of everyone.

There is something else that I wonder,

who shot Namik?

Baby, why are you up here?

You are supposed to get some rest.

Laying down doesn’t fit me.

As you are here,

Yeter has something to tell you.

Don’t you, Yeter?

What’s going on here?

Dear Yeter, don’t hesitate. Just tell him.

He is your elder brother.

Will someone tell me what’s going on?

It is such a big disgrace.

Just promise that, you won’t get mad badly.

Then I can tell you.

You are still weak.

You are not healed yet.

I don’t want to hurt your heart.

Get to the point, sister.

You know that Abidin and our bride’s son.

Apparently, he is Gulsum’s son.

What?

So, Gulsum?

You haven’t said anything.

I mean, of course, if you don’t want that, we won’t do it, but...

What can I say, Abidin, brother.

I ask myself that what I have done to deserve this.

So, you are not mad, right?

Are you crazy? Of course, I am not.

God’s brought you to me.

But.

But...

You are afraid of your brother, right?

You know.

I’ll talk to Ferhat.

He won’t say yes.

There is no way he could say yes.

Please, he’ll be mad at you too.

Please don’t trouble yourself more for me.

Listen, Gulsum,

as an elder brother,

I’ll protect and take care of you.

I mean, you know.

There is nothing wrong with that.

Ferhat will accept that.

Well.

I guess so.

Gulsum.

If you say yes, I have made my decision.

I just can’t hang you and Necdet out to dry.

Just say yes.

I’ll fight anyone.

I’ll deal with anything.

Don’t be afraid, I’ll be fine.

Why are you doing this, really?

Huh? For Necdet?

I mean, if you agree with that,

give me your identity card so I can deal with the paperwork.

We can get married as soon as possible, okay?

My brother.

I am sure he heard it, someone talked to him.

What will we do?

Just calm down, Gulsum.

Who could talk to him about it?

I am listening, cousin.

Where are you, Abidin?

I am, outside. I have things to do.

What’s going on?

Cuneyt is really bugging me.

He didn’t finish the deal with the excavation workers.

The meeting is cancelled, can you handle it now?

Okay, cousin, I’ll deal with it.

Where are you now?

It is a bit crowded here.

I need to talk to you anyway.

I’ll call you.

Don’t worry about that Cuneyt thing, I’ll deal with it.

Okay, fine.

No, he’ll shoot both of us.

Gulsum, just calm down. Nothing bad will happen.

Do you trust me?

Of course, I do.

Okay. Give me your identity card.

It will be a disaster.

Who cares anyway?

Who cares, Gulsum?

What are you doing here?

How did you find here?

It wasn’t that hard, pretty.

When Abidin was in such a hurry, I just followed him.

Bingo!

He brought me to you.

Whose house is this?

None of your business!

Shh, don’t get mad.

Get out of here!

You are being rude, so rude.

How could you treat your son’s father like that?

Huh?

I am his father.

I missed him so much.

Both of you.

Where is my son?

What are you doing?

My son...

My son.

You gave yourself away, but you still put on airs.

Be careful, don’t get hurt again.

Why do you care?

You are just afraid that I will reveal you, right?

You can’t do that.

I’ll make you lose your mind.

Both yours and your witchy mother.

God damn you!

You look so pretty when you are mad.

Don’t touch me!

Don’t!

Shh.

I won’t touch you.

But just for now.

He is getting bigger.

My son, come here.

Don’t touch my son too.

I said get the hell out of here!

I hate you!

I begged you!

I begged you to elope with me.

You said you needed money and didn’t do anything!

You just left me!

Now you remember you have a son?

Don’t get me mad now.

Don’t count on your brother too.

He kicked you out anyway.

Watch your behaviour around me.

You can’t do anything to me.

Do you understand?

You can’t do anything.

Get out of here now.

Get out of here before I call the police.

Okay. I am going.

But it is not over yet.

I won’t leave you alone, don’t forget that.

Take good care of my son.

This is just a scandal.

We better find someone who won’t talk

and get that guy married to Gulsum, that’s all.

We can give him some money

and in return he’ll give his surname to the baby.

Then they’ll get divorced.

I think that’s the best option now.

Who do you think you are?

How could you make decisions for my daughter?

You should have controlled your daughter

so she wouldn’t have behaved coquettishly and got knocked up.

Mind your own daughter!

What about her?

Namik, say something.

It is not a house anymore.

Her son is planning to replace you!

Her daughter dishonoured you!

-Say something! -All of you, just shut up!

We can’t discuss this like that.

We need to correct it, Namik.

Is this how we are going to live?

You stay out of it!

All of you, shut up!

Yeter, go to your room.

Listen to me,

if any of you touches my daughter,

I’ll destroy you!

And I won’t show mercy to anyone!

Listen to her!

The pot calling the kettle black!

Sister, just calm down for a while!

Are you blind, Namik?!

You’ve spoiled them, that’s why they act like that!

For years you brought her to the house

as our step sister and we acknowledged her.

But this is just a big scandal!

How could I remain silent?

You have no authority in this house anymore, just so you know!

You are still...

I am still the head of the household, sister!

And nobody is planning to replace me!

Nobody can! Do you understand?

I guess she was your wife.

And that’s little Ayhan.

Ayhan was five years old when it was taken.

Have a seat.

It was 1995.

There were casinos back then.

I bought a casino.

And I got richer and thrived in a short time.

There was a guy called Ismail the Blind.

Who owned most of the casinos back then.

Of course, he didn’t like it, when I thrived that fast.

Someday, when I wasn’t at home,

they killed my wife.

When I got back home,

there were cops everywhere.

Ayhan...

She was so little.

Everything happened before her eyes.

She didn’t...

She didn’t talk for two years.

Couldn’t you find the one who did it?

I did.

I shot Ismail the Blind.

Of course, they put me into jail.

That’s where I met that Cigal.

Yes, I shot Ismail the Blind.

But I couldn’t find the hitman who shot my wife.

If I can’t find him before I die,

I will never have peace in my grave, son.

Mom.

Here I am.

I miss you so much.

Ayhan, get inside.

Hurry up, get inside the closet!

Mom, you?

Hurry up! Don’t make a noise!

-Stay there! -I am afraid!

Don’t be afraid! Get inside the closet!

Don’t do it! I am begging you!

Don’t do it! Please don’t do it!

God bless her soul.

I miss you so much...

I wish you were here with me now.

I wish you could wake me up by kissing me again.

I need you so much.

Goodbye.

Thank you...

23 years ago,

today, Albina was killed.

Ayhan goes to her grave every year and puts white flowers on it.

Every year.

I am sorry for your loss.

Alright.

That’s enough about me.

Okay then, start talking.

What kind of storms are blowing up in your heart again?

Storms never spend themselves in my heart, father Azad.

Ayhan told me.

You want to divorce the doctor.

You asked her to file a lawsuit.

That’s true. You know.

But for what?

For Asli’s sake.

Well,

did you tell her that, you are going to leave her,

in the middle of your path?

That silence tells me

you are a passenger of a dark road and will destroy her life too.

That you leave her not because you don’t love her,

but you love her.

Is that what you are saying, son?

That’s exactly what I am saying.

That’s wrong.

What you are saying is wrong.

You know,

the one who puts a rose on bare,

thorny stick knows something better than us, right?

Besides those thorns never hurt the rose.

They hurt that vile hand.

A woman is soil, son.

And you are supposed to be the sun.

You will burn yourself, but warm her up.

You are supposed to be rain to feed her.

Then she’ll welcome you with countless flowers,

you’ll see.

If you love the flesh,

you are just a male, if you love the soul, you are a real man.

Once you love,

you are supposed to do it like a real man.

You just can’t give up on love easily.

If you have fear on one side and hope on the other,

it means you have two wings.

And you can’t fly with a single wing anyway.

A rock needs to give up on being rock

to become a ring for a finger.

A rock that wants to be a ring has to endure being crushed and ground.

Let her...

Let her heal you.

You don’t run away from her, but yourself.

You don’t fight her, but yourself, my son.

You just need to be a man of your word and a soldier for your love.

Leave the rest to her.

I am afraid to destroy her in this path of mine, father Azad.

This is the only problem.

Do you think, she’ll be better off like that?

She’s found the love and been suffering a lot not to lose it,

can’t you see that?

Hello?

Mom, how are you doing?

What do you think?

I am just suffering the trouble you brought to us.

Come on, mom.

What do you say?

I feel like being on the carpet.

Handan never stops, neither does that witch Idil.

They keep talking about you and getting you married.

I have heard so many insults.

Now your uncle knows it too.

What?

What did he say?

What do you expect?

He was mad of course.

Stop messing around there and come here.

Or someone could pick you up.

Mom, I need to tell you something.

Don’t tell me anything anymore, Gulsum.

Just come here beside me.

Mom, I am getting married.

What?!

I am getting married.

We will solve the problem for good.

What are you talking about?

Marriage?

Stop being ridiculous!

Who are you getting married to?

To brother Abidin.

Gulsum!

Gulsum, do you want to bury me alive, Gulsum!

What is that nonsense?

You and Abidin are getting married?

Where is that house?

Don’t get me mad! Tell me where it is.

We have the ballistic reports now.

They match the statement which is very good.

Good.

Then it won’t take much time.

Seems like that...

You don’t remember, do you?

No.

I mean, in the courthouse or something?

No, the faculty. I was a freshman when you were senior.

Oh, is that so?

I am sorry, the faculty was so crowded.

It was. You were a senior anyway.

But your notes were legendary.

Do you remember Remzi the photocopier?

Yes, I do. He was a nice man.

We were asking about Yigit Aslan’s notes about

Roman Law, Constitution 101, Commercial Law.

He thought you were a professor.

But you helped us a lot with those neat and tidy notes.

Come on, it wasn’t a big deal.

It was really.

But you didn’t come to the cafeteria much,

I saw you only a few times there.

I was in the library.

Anyway, this is the situation.

Apparently, we won’t have lots of trouble about the case.

Thank you.

We should keep in touch.

Okay, I can give you a lift if you like.

Thank you, but my car is here anyway.

See you then.

Bye.

Ayhan?

Come in, come in please.

What’s up, why are you here?

What brings you here?

I can guess it though, anyway.

Please take a seat.

Well, I met a client of mine nearby so I wanted to see you also.

I see.

How are you?

Not bad, well.

Did you talk to Ferhat?

About the divorce.

No, we didn’t.

Interesting.

Why?

Last night, he texted me asking if I told you about the divorce.

And I said no.

You did well...

What would you like to drink?

Don’t bother please, I am going to go to the courthouse anyway.

I am busy.

But I don’t like this situation.

Sometimes we have to live through the things we don’t like.

There is nothing we can do.

But I don’t think that Ferhat really wants to divorce you.

He called me to file a lawsuit, then he didn’t tell you about it.

What is he expecting now?

A citation?

I don’t know what he is expecting, actually.

There is only one thing I know.

That I am more courageous than him.

This is usually the case.

Men run away from the women they love...

Men just run away whether those women are alive or dead.

Good morning, dad.

Good morning.

Are you going to visit your mother?

As I do every year...

Just give them a gun,

so they can ravage and stand up to the whole world

for the women they love.

But if you ask them to say

they love you and hold your hand, they just look for a place to hide.

You are right.

I just feel tired.

I am tired.

That’s why, you need to be stronger now, Asli.

We’ll see.

Let her heal you.

You don’t run away from her, but yourself.

You don’t fight her, but yourself, my son.

Burcu, I just sent you a patient

and can we get the results of his blood work soon?

Okay, thank you.

Come in.

My Asli.

Brother...

Welcome.

Thank you.

You are my precious...

Are you okay?

I am. I am fine.

I am just busy as usual.

And the things happening in the house, you know.

Listen, it takes guts to lie to a cop.

I can be the brave sister of a cop, can’t I?

Don’t worry, it is okay.

Take a seat.

No, I just felt depressed,

so I just wanted to see your face.

Our last conversation was a little bit.

I am not hurt.

You could never hurt me.

My dear...

Come in.

Come in.

Ma’am, we need you.

Is it an emergency?

It is ma’am, a seriously injured patient.

Go on.

Do your job so I can be proud of you again.

Okay.

Thank you.

Ah, Gulsum!

Are you determined to kill me, girl?

You and Abidin? What is this?

Are you crazy?

Mom, I have no choice.

Do you want me to be left all by myself and my son?

Besides, you said that

witchy Handan’s already started to look for a suitable husband for me.

That witchy Handan,

that woman will make a real scene once she finds out about it.

She will blame you for getting your claws into him!

I don’t care what she says.

Listen to me, girl.

Did you talk him into this?

Abidin is a naïve and compassionate guy.

Did you put that idea into his head?

I swear it was his idea.

My God, I will lose my mind.

I will just lose my mind.

How can it be possible?

How can you marry Abidin, Gulsum?

Mom, it is not going to be a real marriage.

Brother Abidin says that he sees me as his sister,

it is going to be only on paper, so that Necdet could have a father.

-Only on paper? -Yes!

And everyone will buy it?

What can I do?

I don’t care what they think!

What about your brother, huh?

He will kill you and Abidin before Handan!

Listen to me, get this and call Abidin.

Tell him you’ve changed your mind and you can’t do it.

Right now.

It is too late now.

I gave him my identity card.

He is going to get a date as soon as possible.

What is going on?

Why did you want to meet in this secluded place, like a secret meeting?

What is it?

Ferhat, there are some things I need to tell you.

Do tell.

Did Cuneyt do something wrong again?

No, it is not about Cuneyt.

It is about Gulsum.

What about her?

She is at the mercy of me.

Do tell.

Ferhat, I want to marry Gulsum.

Come again?

You heard it right, cousin.

I want to marry Gulsum.

What did you say?

Did you hear what you just said, man?

Huh?

Did you?

What is your intention?

What is it, man?

What is your intention?

What are talking about?

Just listen to me, cousin!

Why would I listen to you!

Listen to me, cousin, I don’t have any bad intention.

I just want to help!

You guys just can’t stop it, can you!

You guys just can’t stop!

What do you mean you want to marry Gulsum!

For God’s sake, just listen to me, Ferhat!

I just want to take care of her, that’s my intention.

Do you all want to make me crazy?

You barely saved her from me

and now do you want me to shoot both of you in your heads?

Huh? Is that what you want?

Go on, shoot me! Go and shoot Ferhat!

Shoot me!

Let me shoot myself if I can!

Huh?

They are going to make her get married to some other guy!

Someone she doesn’t know!

Would it be better?

Listen to me, cousin, Gulsum is a sister to me.

She will always be like that.

I just want to help you, I just want to help you, Ferhat.

I want to help her.

Do you think it is easy?

Do you think it is easy to look into your eyes and say these things?

It is not easy.

It is not easy, Ferhat.

The folks...

The folks will just blast us, do you think I don’t know that?

Huh?

I know that.

But I just can’t,

I just can’t turn my back on Gulsum when she is in trouble like that.

I just can’t say that she deserves a punishment for the mistake she did.

Just let her suffer, just let her suffer what she deserves!

Why can’t you do it? Just why?

I just can’t say!

Do you know what I said to Safiye

when I took her to the coach station?

I said, I am who I am, I can’t be someone else.

I said I am blind, deaf and dumb to the ones I love.

I said I can sacrifice myself just to protect the ones I love.

That I can be sad forever if they are happy...

Just why?

You don’t understand, do you?

You don’t understand

why I am doing this and you think I am being stupid, right?

You don’t understand, do you?

You won’t understand!

You think I am being stupid, don’t you!

You don’t understand.

We have a new scene every day.

I wonder if Gulsum will come back.

Brother Ferhat has a soft spot for her.

He will forgive her.

You know, he already sent Sister Asli and Abidin to take them.

I hope so...

Are you going to go to the hospital today?

No.

What do you mean?

I don’t know, Brother Ferhat didn’t say anything.

Mr. Ferhat and Mrs. Bride are at odds with each other, you know.

This morning they didn’t even look at each other’s faces.

They will break up soon.

God forbid.

Besides, they get along pretty well.

If it wasn’t for Asli, Mr. Ferhat would have killed Gulsum.

I think Mrs. Asli has changed Mr. Ferhat.

I guess she has.

Let’s hope for the best...

Why did you ask if I would go to the hospital?

I can give you a lift if you need.

No, only if you go to the hospital.

Never mind.

Gulsum?

Why is she crying?

Why are you crying?

Like she hasn’t done enough,

now she is planning to marry Abidin.

What?

Yeah.

What can I do, Asli?

Do I have any other choice?

Abidin called and asked me to marry him, for Necdet’s sake.

It won’t be a real marriage, why does it sound so bad?

Open the door!

-Okay wait! -Open it now!

Calm down, I will take care of it.

Get out of my way. Get out.

Wait! Wait!

-Get out of my way! -Wait a second!

What are you planning?

What are you planning to do?

Tell me about Abidin and that marriage!

Answer me, tell me about Abidin and that marriage!

-Listen, my son. -Don’t call me son!

Don’t you ever call me son again!

I am not your son!

Will you calm down?

You stay out of it.

What do you mean!

You stay out of it!

Stay out of it.

Do you want me to be a fratricide?

Talk to me.

Talk to me, Gulsum.

Ferhat, will you just calm down?

-Stay out of it! -How could I?

I have to intervene!

I am your wife so Gulsum is a sister to me.

Alright?

All you know is being a bully, don’t you?

You never think about what they feel.

Okay, dear, sit down.

I need to call Abidin.

Hello, hello, are you okay?

He didn’t hurt you, did he?

He didn’t, Gulsum, I am fine.

I am fine.

I talked to Ferhat.

He is so mad!

He is going to kill us!

You know, Ferhat, he is a bit angry.

But don’t worry, it is going to be okay.

Trust me.

Okay?

Come with me.

Where did it come from?

Where did it come from? Did you know about it?

I swear I didn’t know, son.

Gulsum called me and said she’s getting married.

You just couldn’t control your daughter.

I am tired of it, Ferhat, I am tired!

I am tired of being accused and blamed for years!

What have I done to you?

What have I done?

Just once try to understand and support me!

How could you become a person like this?

How could you?

What kind of a person I am?

Are you the one asking me this question?

I still have it here, right here, you see?

I’ve become a man without being a youngster.

I have been a man since I was 12.

Do you hear me?

You do.

So now you just can’t ask me what I have done to you!

You have no right to ask me that.

And thanks to that, your daughter is just like you.

Well done.

She loves to lie.

Don’t talk like this, son.

Be patient, I have a lot to say.

I am not forgetting about who shot my uncle.

Once this marriage thing is over,

I will take care of it too, don’t worry.

There are lots of accounts to settle.

You are Ferhat Aslan.

You can settle all those troubling accounts.

But remember this.

Someday, someone will call you to account.

It is not a problem for me.

What am I going to do, Asli?

I wish I was dead,

I couldn’t even manage to die!

How can you say that!

Don’t be ridiculous.

First of all, he is your brother.

He can get mad, yell or swear.

But your brother will never harm you,

he won’t harm someone he loves.

Don’t be like this.

Secondly, please keep your head up!

I can’t. I just can’t.

What do you mean you can’t?

Of course you can.

You are supposed to look into people’s eyes purposely!

How come you can’t?

Abidin is holding your hand and he shows the courage to do that.

Once your hands come together like this,

nobody can take a stand against you, Gulsum.

Neither Ferhat nor Mrs. Handan.

Please. Pull yourself together and calm down.

I’ll talk to Ferhat and your mother, okay?

Just calm down.

My sweet girl.

Calm down.

I will call you both to account for it.

That’s enough, please stop fighting.

Mrs. Yeter, I think you need to listen to Gulsum.

Asli.

Mrs. Yeter, please...

What do you think you are doing without listening to anyone?

What am I supposed to hear?

Why would I listen to them?

Why would I listen to them!

Don’t you know Abidin?

I don’t! Okay? I don’t!

Do you have to be such a paranoid guy?

You should ask this to those who made me one.

You should ask them.

Just keep going like this.

Just keep hurting everyone.

What are they planning now?

What are they talking about?

What are you planning to do now?

If you just once try to understand, will you die?

I will. Do you hear me? I will.

Now I see, you really can kill by being stubborn.

Yes I can.

Move, just move.

Do you always have to be the one dragging me?

Do you?

If there is something you hesitate to tell me,

you’ll have to tell me now, we are going, okay?

Move!

Move!

We’ll talk.

This is just a scandal.

We better find someone who won’t talk

and get that guy married to Gulsum, that’s all.

We can give him some money

and in return he’ll give his surname to the baby.

Then they’ll get divorced.

I think that’s the best option now.

Gulsum.

Get your belongings, we are going.

Come on.

There is no going back now.

Mom.

I didn’t want things to be like this.

It is too late to feel bad or apologize.

Gulsum!

You are okay, right?

I am okay, Gulsum, I am okay.

I am fine.

I better get you some ice.

No, don’t worry, it is okay, Gulsum.

Is it your idea?

Yes, Aunt.

Why?

I told that to Ferhat too.

I don’t know if he understands.

But I had no choice...

Please, don’t look at me like that, Aunt.

Don’t look at me

like I did something wrong and I have to apologize.

It is not your fault.

It is not Gulsum’s fault either.

Actually, there is no fault at all.

There is just a mistake.

There is a girl who believed in that mistake.

A girl who has to carry a huge lie.

A poor girl who has nothing to take refuge in but her baby...

I am good, Gulsum...

People can make mistakes,

do bad and shameful things, Aunt.

Maybe you never experienced something like this,

so you are having a hard time to understand this,

but now,

if I want to kiss your blessed hand,

would you let me do it, Aunt?

Come on, we are going now.

I don’t care what could happen.

Let’s get the baby ready.

Maybe it is the last journey we share...

We have had lots of journeys,

to the unknown and the darkness.

But I have never been scared this much before.

We were on unknown paths, but I still wasn’t scared.

Now I am so scared.

Zeynep.

Take Necdet to his room.

Please don’t let go of my hand.

Be strong, Gulsum.

Be strong.

They just keep coming back, don’t they?

Good evening, to everyone...

We have something to tell you.

What is it?

We,

Gulsum and I,

are getting married.

-What! -What?

Is this a joke?

What are you talking about, Abidin?

Are you cold?

No, don’t bother.

I am good, I don’t feel cold anymore.

Fine.

I wanted to make sure.

Thanks, you are so nice.

Now tell me,

did you know about Gulsum’s marriage story?

As you talk to her much more than I do.

What gives? Why are you smiling now?

Tell me if there is something funny so I can laugh too.

Actually, I should be crying rather than laughing.

Is that okay?

You wouldn’t laugh even if I told you.

You wouldn’t laugh even if I told you something funny.

Because you don’t know how to laugh.

It is true.

Yeah, it is not a problem for me.

Now quit stalling and answer my question.

That’s it?

Did I know about the story of Abidin and Gulsum?

The same repeats.

Ferhat Aslan asks, Asli answers.

Did you know or not?

I didn’t!

-Is it okay? -It is not.

I just found out.

But you know what I said to myself when I found out?

I said, way to go, Abidin,

you have the courage to hold her

and stand against everyone, way to go, Abidin.

Is it your duty to father her son, Abidin?

Are you really that stupid?

Are you blind?

Mom, come on.

Stay out of it!

Namik, say something.

Mom, we have made our decision.

Oh.

It is such a scandal.

What do you mean you have made your decision?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Gulsum gave birth to a baby.

She made a mistake.

So?

What are we supposed to do?

Are we all supposed to kick her out?

We are going to do whatever it takes.

And I am not going to let that happen, Mom...

I have embraced the baby.

I have seen him as my son.

But actually, he is not my son.

Safiye is not his mom and I am not his father.

What does it matter?

Kamil the baby, who Gulsum calls Necdet,

Necdet is still my son.

He won’t grow up without a father.

I’ll be a big brother to Gulsum.

I asked her to marry me and she said yes.

Of course she did!

As she has found the dumbest guy in the world.

She will use you as the baby’s father!

Actually, she’s planned this with her mother.

It is my decision, Mom.

You can’t say anything to my aunt or Gulsum.

I will be Gulsum’s big brother but on paper, she’ll be my wife.

I can’t believe that.

Namik, won’t you say something?

Won’t you say no?

Of course I can’t let that happen.

I am not asking for anyone’s permission, Uncle.

Do not cross the line, Abidin.

You just can’t control your daughter, can you?

She caused that disgrace and now this!

Say something, Namik.

You are the one who spoiled them.

Did you know about that, Yeter?

Of course she did.

Look at her.

They planned it together and now they make a fool of everyone.

Is this your problem?

It is not going to happen!

I am never going to let that happen.

Enough!

Enough.

I am, Abidinadaklı,

I take Gulsum Aslan as my wife.

She is my crown and my companion.

Her son is my son.

I will continue to be a big brother to her and father to her son.

Her joy is my joy, her sorrow is my sorrow.

Whoever wants to stop that,

they better consider us dead to them if they like.

Gulsum, give me your hand.

Uncle,

either you shoot me now, because Ferhat couldn’t.

Either you shoot me now

or nobody shall stand in our way, including you.

Come on, Uncle.

Uncle, come on...

I am Abidin.

I just can’t turn my back on the ones whom I love.

Mom! Mom!

Sister! Get her some water.

Mom!

Mrs. Handan!

Does it hurt?

It did.

But now, it is okay.

I told you.

It is all because of me, look at you.

Today, Asli saved me from my brother.

Gulsum.

Your brother loves you so much.

He can’t hurt you.

And you know he kills who hurts you.

It is all because of me.

All because of me.

It is going to be okay, Gulsum.

Your wounds are going to be healed, Gulsum.

But now, we need to do something.

Actually, I need to do something.

What?

We are going to Yigit’s place.

Why?

I helped Gulsum to deliver the baby and I told you this already.

After it was too late, right?

Yes, it was too late.

Someone had to help her when she was suffering

and trying to give birth in that boiler room, where were you?

Where were you that

the folks were begging to hear something from you?

I sacrificed myself blindly for them!

I just sacrificed myself blindly for them!

But you can’t understand that.

I would have understood if you told me, you know.

I would have understood you.

I’d have listened to you.

I’d have shared your pain.

But you always chose to run away.

You are nowhere to be found in the lives of your loved ones.

You are so far away and distant that

all you can do is suffocate us

with your unlimited anger and call us to account!

What do you expect?

You know, my brother came to the hospital today

as he felt bad

and depressed about our last conversation and he asked,

"are you okay sister?

Did I hurt you?’’.

He dropped by, because this is what being a brother is.

And now Abidin is holding Gulsum’s hand.

He stands against the whole world, why?

Because this is what love is.

But you don’t know that.

Exactly.

I don’t know how to be a big brother, unlike yours.

You are right.

Right.

It is not bad if you don’t know.

You just don’t choose how to learn it.

This is the problem.

Like a wounded animal,

you try to bite all the hands that try to help you.

Abidin and Gulsum are not going to get married.

Do you understand?

Abidin, Abidin and Gulsum are not going to get married!

Period!

What’s going on?

That smart Ferhat Aslan tries to make a judgment

as something he doesn’t want is about to happen.

You don’t want them to get married so quickly,

but you remember what you did to me?

Huh! What did you do to me?

Tell me.

Tell me what you want from me.

Just tell me.

I don’t want anything from you anymore.

I don’t want anything from you anymore.

Do you understand?

What do you want from me?

What! Tell me what you have to tell!

I wonder what they have been doing.

Who?

Come on, Yigit.

You know who, your mother and sister.

I am sure they can take care of themselves.

You haven’t even called them, have you?

Yigit, you are a prosecutor.

You see thousands of cases every day.

Broken families, kids without parents.

Don’t you ever feel bad?

I do.

Earlier in your career,

something happened and you told me, do you remember?

Yes.

The story of the girl who ran away.

Was she 17?

She was all alone with her baby.

They shot her brother before her eyes,

for a matter of honour.

She came to you for help and protection

as you are the prosecutor of the state, remember?

Yes.

You protected her, right?

What was her name?

And her son’s name?

Nergis.

And her son’s name was Omer.

Look.

Nergis sent you this.

-Nergis? -Hmm.

Omer’s started school.

His school report is very good.

You are like a father or a big brother to Nergis,

as you saved her and her son.

Yigit,

when you think about Gulsum and Necdet, remember this too, okay?

Hello?

Yeter, hello.

Who is this?

How are you?

You called me the other day too.

I said, who is this?

You’ll find out soon.

But it is not something you should be worried about.

I just want to know how you are doing, that’s all.

You, in the hotel...

Good night.

Ah, Mrs. Handan.

You listened to her and got to side against me.

I am surprised at you.

Now you see what’s happened.

But we were in the same page.

Now you see what she did, what she can do.

She manipulated Safiye.

She took advantage of Abidin’s good will.

Unbelievable.

Even the devil can’t think of it.

Have your water.

Let me tell you.

Let me tell you what you will tell.

I am the darkness,

I am the swamp, I am the ugly one.

You told me so.

Yes I did.

But you chose to accept that.

Didn’t you? Why?

Because it is easier like that, isn’t it?

It is the easiest option.

I know you took a life when you were 12

and life’s brought you somewhere you never expected to be,

I would’ve accepted at all.

But have you ever wanted to come out of this?

Have you tried to come out of that darkness?

Have you tried that?

Can you admit that to yourself?

Let me answer you, no.

No!

You haven’t!

That darkness is not a place you’ve been trapped in.

You choose to hide in the darkness, why?

Because you feel much stronger in there,

actually, that darkness is the only place

where you can feel yourself strong!

Is this a lie?

And I have seen it all since I looked into your eyes.

I took you to the house where I grew up.

So maybe you could understand something.

You know what I have done?

Most of my high school friends just got married

in a few years after school.

They just got comfortable in their soft couches,

that’s what they chose?

What about me?

I took the old textbooks of the senior students and cleaned them.

I cleaned and erased the notes to study and write things down better.

Do you have the courage to clean and start over, Ferhat?

To get an eraser to erase, to get a pen to write?

Let me answer that, no you don’t!

You don’t have the courage to look into my eyes

and tell me anything!

Even if you tell me something,

you have no courage to stand by your words!

You don’t!

You don’t!

Do you understand! You don’t have the courage!

Let me go! You did let me go anyway!

Let me go.

Let me go. Let me go.

Let me go.

I didn’t let you in.

I didn’t ask anyway.

I really can’t stand you now, Idil, get out.

Bravo, Yeter.

You are a woman to be feared.

Leave me alone, Idil.

Got knocked up and married to Necdet the barber.

Your daughter got knocked up, you had her give birth in the house.

And found parents for the baby.

Once your plot was revealed,

you planned to marry her, Abidin.

Unbelievable.

Bravo, you are a woman to be feared.

Even if we leave them aside, you are a murderer.

You tried to kill Namik, I know that for sure.

But you got away with it too.

I have never seen such a crook and lucky person like you.

But you know, it will end somehow, Yeter.

Fear me then!

Fear what I could do!

Fear my wrath!

Do you understand?

Now get the hell out of here!

Stay out of my way!

Leave me and my daughter alone,

do you understand me!

Everything is going to be great, believe me.

Yeter! What are you doing?

Yeter! Stop that!

Yeter!

Sister!

Are you Sister Ayhan?

How do you know my name?

This is yours.

What is this?

Who gave you this?

Where are you going?

Who gave you this?

Do you want to know the real story behind your mother’s death?

My condolences, again.

I see.

Thank you, Sister Suna.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Right now, I guess there is nothing much to do.

I hope everything will be okay.

Actually, there is something to do.

I mean,

I talked to Ferhat.

As much as I could, you know.

What did you talk to him?

Yigit,

we are for, for the thing...

I mean, I am here for the thing...

According to the command of God and the word of the prophet,

I ask you for Gulsum’s hand in marriage.

Even the tea has troubles as it is put to burn on fire,

as it gets darker and darker while waiting.

The tea is cool now and I am tired.

Goodbye.

Don’t worry about last night, it was just a sudden flare.

Get me a cup of tea, Doctor.

Dark red tea.

I’ll be right back.

Aslı!

Asli!

Asli
