Your Honor! They need to get divorced. You have to divorce them.

They don't love each other.

-You must divorce them. Divorce them. -Quiet!

Sit down! If you speak again I'll throw you out of the courtroom.

The court has deliberated.

Considering the case the parties recently filed in this court

their statements in that divorce case

their statements in this hearing,

and the short time that has passed since then

along with their claims that married life could not be restored

which are inconsistent,

and the requests being contrary to procedure and substance

since acceptance by this court is not possible

the case is hereby dismissed.

What's he saying now?

I don't get it, so they didn't get divorced?

Your Honor, wait, wait. Wait, Your Honor, come back.

Don't go.

What kind of useless lawyer are you?

-How did they not get divorced? -Mrs. Sadakat please…

-May the money you made off us choke you! -Mom, this is court, what are you doing?

Mom, come on, let's go.

You're going to resign! You, I swear, you!

Did you know, Erol?

Did you know they wouldn't divorce us because of the previous case?

You brought us here knowing that, didn't you?

You heard Mrs. Sadakat, I'm a useless lawyer.

-I admit it. -Erol.

Alya, here's the truth

the pressure on you was so overwhelming…

If I had said this divorce was impossible, that this judge under these conditions

would never divorce you, no one would've believed me.

We wanted everyone to see it with their own eyes.

Let me give you a small "useless lawyer" discount.

But… do I really have to resign?

Best of luck to everyone.

-Where's Deniz? -Inside, Mrs. Alya.

Don't let him out.

Is it done?

Let's talk upstairs.

-What's going on? -Brother, come on, let's talk.

Come on upstairs, let's talk.

So what happened, did they divorce?

No, they didn't.

The judge couldn't bring himself,

-so they didn't divorce. -Good.

God Almighty, may He help them both.

Amen, amen.

The real hardship

starts now.

That's true.

Why are those rings still on your fingers? Why didn't you take them off?

They couldn't divorce, the judge dismissed the case.

They didn't divorce? How can you not divorce!

Calm down Boran, calm down.

Calm down for what? Didn't you both agree to divorce?

How does a judge not divorce you?

He's the judge, what are you supposed to say to him?

Do we say we don't recognize his ruling, what do we say?

Did you say "we're not divorcing, we love each other," what did you say?

-Oh my God… -No, they didn't say that.

They said we don't love each other, we don't want each other. What else?

True, true, I heard it too.

But I saw it, their mouths said it but their eyes

didn't say the same thing. The judge saw it too.

That's why he didn't divorce them.

Fine, next time we'll take a credibility lesson from you, Mom.

Mom, this isn't something simple.

Judges don't rule based on looks or feelings

they look at the papers and rule from that.

Then why didn't you divorce, why?

He looked at the statements from the previous case, said they don't match.

Then said too little time had passed, and dismissed it.

What previous case?

I filed for divorce from Cihan, but Cihan refused, rejected it.

That's why the judge set a three-year condition.

You filed for divorce from Cihan?

Cihan had a woman he was fooling around with, Mine.

Then she came and took Cihan away from Mine.

And the woman was pregnant.

Mom, you're the last person who should talk about Mine here.

Don't make me open my mouth! You're the last one, don't.

Yes, Alya filed for divorce from me.

And I told the judge I love her.

So we didn't divorce.

We'll see, even if it's not three years, let it be a hundred years

no matter how much your eyes meet in front of the judge

the day I get my ID, that marriage will fall.

And then you'll be my wife.

Slow down, slow down.

-We'll see. -It will happen, just patience.

Get your ID first, then we'll talk about this.

You gave your word, Cihan, you said we'd divorce, but you didn't keep it.

You said if you had the courage you'd protect me from Baybars and the law.

-I did. -So are you going to swallow that promise?

Or will you hand me over to justice just to stay married?

What kind of talk is that?

If someone else said that, it would get ugly fast!

My brother risked his life for you.

To stop bloodshed he married Süleyman's daughter, buried his youth for you!

He was ready to give you his kidney, watch your words, take it back!

-What if I don't, huh, what if I don't… -You will!

Stop it, he's your younger brother, your younger brother.

Look at yourself, calm down already.

Boran, look, I'd give my life for everyone in my family

I'd die, and that includes you.

But I don't play little games, not just to stay married

handing you over to justice, that's not me!

That's not in my nature.

And believe me, Boran, I want you to get your ID more than anyone.

More than anyone, I want it.

Get your ID so I can divorce you, I want it badly.

I'm waiting impatiently.

We'll see, we'll see.

We'll see, yes we will.

Boran, let's be straight and honest.

Once your identity is revealed, Demir will target you.

That's one. Two

that old closed case will be reopened,

and you'll be retried for killing Süleyman Baybars.

When you shot Süleyman, Nadim was there. If he says

it wasn't Boran, I didn't see it, Boran didn't do it, the case collapses.

-Wow. -We made a deal years ago.

Call Nadim, make another deal, give him whatever he wants.

Let him say I didn't kill Süleyman.

-Then the case drops. -Unbelievable! Why?

Why? Why does Cihan pay the price?

Why is all your burden on Cihan's shoulders?

Why is it that whenever someone needs help, whenever something's done

Cihan always pays the price, why?

Boran shot the man who killed his father.

-Bravo. -We all have to carry the weight.

We'll all have to do our part.

Did you hear that, Alya?

If you'd listen to me a little, you'd understand.

I understand you perfectly.

Everyone here understands you perfectly.

You don't understand yourself.

Call Nadim, Cihan, make a deal.

Come on, call him, call him, your identity will be exposed!

What if Nadim refuses the deal, goes to the police, then what?

Are you taking that risk?

Look, Nadim wouldn't waste a card like that.

He'll bargain to the end, push it all the way.

Like Kaya said, it's a huge risk.

Are you really sure you want to take it?

Fine, call him.

Fine.

SYRIA

-Hello, Cihan. -Nadim, we need to talk.

What's going on?

We need to talk face to face, not on the phone.

I'm in Syria right now, I've got some business.

-When will you be back? -A few days.

-Call me when you're back, we'll talk. -Okay, okay.

He's in Syria, says he'll be back in a few days.

-Damn it! -Boran,

for God's sake, calm down!

You'll wait a few more days, patience.

Patience, patience, how long, Mom? I'm losing my mind!

I'm stuck in this mansion, enough!

We have no choice but to wait.

If there's another way, another path, say it, let's do it.

I figured as much.

Stay calm.

Calm down! Just calm down, get your ID first.

Alright, let them send you the invoice, you'll handle the shipping.

-Come on. -Let's go, son.

Let's go before that Ecmel punk shows up.

-We'll leave when Nare comes. -Where'd she go again?

They're dealing with Boran's case, today was their divorce hearing.

-Here she is. -Hello.

-What happened at the hearing? -The judge didn't divorce them.

-Didn't divorce them? -No.

By God, I'm so glad. The girl got used to Cihan, right?

That ship has already sailed.

What did our elders say

once you set sail, you don't listen to the wind.

You don't wave at the smoke of a departing ship.

-Don't pour water into cooked rice… -Enough, proverb chief, enough.

-I've got a few more. -We get it.

Nobody wants them divorced anyway, I'm glad too.

But when Boran gets his ID, the marriage ends.

What? Boran doesn't use his own ID?

Say something, Nare!

-Doesn't my son have an ID? -Why do you think?

Because you tried to kill a man!

He had to get a fake ID to save his life, thanks to you.

-Is that true, Şahin? -It is!

So that's why my son can't get his wife back?

What's it to you? None of your business!

It is my business. He's my son!

So what now? Stay locked in the mansion

living with a fake ID?

That's not right.

Fine, let him tell everyone he's Boran, then go to prison too.

God forbid, let's go.

Look, I'm riding so fast, yay!

-My son. -Oh, Mom, Dad.

You know what, Mom, now I ride like a storm on my bike.

I saw, I saw, you're really good, really.

Come on, let's see if you're a storm or just the wind.

-Show us again. -Come on, pedal.

-Pedal. -Come on.

Bravo!

Don't run anyone over.

Turn around.

One more lap.

Bravo!

My son.

Do you remember Toronto, son? We used to ride bikes together.

You sat in front, I pedaled in the back.

We'd race others, your helmet would slip and I'd fix it.

-Do you remember, son? -Yes.

Dad, can we do it again?

You can do whatever you want, son, whatever you want.

We'll race again, right Dad?

We'll race, son, as long as you want.

-Mom. -Yes, dear.

Since they're both my dads

you're not married to Boran Dad, right?

No, I'm not married to Boran Dad.

Because you're married to Cihan Dad.

That's right, yes. Come on, one more lap.

Go on.

Very nice, very nice.

Go ahead, keep fooling the kid.

How much longer will this game go on?

When you divorce, what will you tell the child?

When we divorce, since nothing will change

my son needs to know.

On the contrary, everything will change, and the child has to know that.

Boran…

the child is standing right there, don't escalate, don't.

-What is it, Kadir? -Brother.

-Ms. Ipek is here. -Who?

Ipek, go, go Boran, go, don't let her see you.

Come on son, faster, faster.

Come on dear, come on.

The mansion is on fire, and tomorrow we're having a wedding.

-Hello Ipek, welcome. -Hello, thank you.

Ipek, welcome dear, how are you?

I'm fine. You?

Thank God.

Ipek, are you excited for tomorrow?

Of course, there's excitement.

You set up the mansion in Midyat just the way you wanted, right dear?

-Did everything turn out the way you wanted? -It did, it did.

It turned out beautifully, thank you.

Thank God, may you live there happily.

We finished all the wedding prep for tomorrow, everything's ready.

We'll have a wedding with food, drums and pipes, God willing.

Yes, there will be drums and pipes.

Kaya, I'm going to my final wedding dress fitting now.

Then I'll pick it up.

I came so we could go together, okay?

Go with her, Kaya, go. Son, go with her.

Of course I'll go, let's go together.

Let's head out now, come on.

See you, take care.

Ümmü, did you finish tomorrow's food? It'll be ready, right?

Did you arrange the usual cook? The pots and all?

Yes, the cook came, the pots came, same cook as always, don't worry.

-The food will be ready. -Okay.

-Okay then. -I need to go to the hospital now.

Could you bring my bag please?

-I'll take you. -Okay.

Why are you taking her?

-What? -Why are you taking her?

It's my hospital, I've got work.

-Come on. -Cihan, let's go.

Good grief.

Hey, Boran.

Did you know, did you also know

that because of the case I filed before, we'd get rejected?

I didn't know from the start, of course

Erol told me as we walked into court.

He put it off out of fear.

So I didn't know from the start.

Still, I found out, but you didn't tell me.

I told you I found out at the last minute, Alya.

At the last minute.

I couldn't have said let's not go in.

If I had, you know my mother and Boran would've piled on us at home.

…they would've swarmed us.

This way was better, they saw the rejection themselves, better this way.

Isn't it strange? If I hadn't filed that divorce case

back then we would've been divorced today.

I told you not to file back then, but of course you didn't listen.

-We couldn't divorce because of you. -Because of me?

-Yes, because of you. -No, because of you.

-Why? -If you had divorced that day, it would've been over.

-We wouldn't be struggling like this today. -My speech had something to do with it too.

Of course, whatever kind of speech you gave that day.

Look, even today the judge still refers back to it.

-Bravo. -It was so real and heartfelt…

I'm telling you clearly, not a single lie in it

everything just poured straight out of my heart.

Maybe my mother was right. Think about it, we're in court

our mouths say we don't love each other, but our eyes say otherwise.

-Really? -Really.

Didn't you tell your mother, this is court, not theater

the judge looks at paper, not at hearts?

I did, I told her.

Turns out sometimes the judge does look at the heart, thankfully.

See, there are good judges out there.

Boran is going to get more aggressive, more and more aggressive.

Even if we divorce

he won't let go of me easily, that's clear.

We were never easy anyway.

Boran…

…come on, sit down, let's talk mother to son.

Come on, my boy, come on.

Slowly, slowly.

You just got up, don't rush, be careful.

Are you okay?

Good.

Boran, until Alya and Cihan divorce

you won't say a word to the child about them separating.

He's still little, he's gotten used to Cihan.

It's normal he got used to Cihan. He thought you were dead.

But now you're here, the child will get used to you slowly.

If you say they're separating now, he'll cause chaos.

I'm telling you, when I said they'd divorce

he caused chaos, brought them even closer together, out of spite.

So what should I do?

Just because my son doesn't want it, should I let them stay married?

First, you'll stay calm.

You won't get tense.

Everything in order, son, you'll be patient.

First get your ID, then Alya, then you'll officially be husband and wife again.

Meanwhile the child will get used to you.

Once he gets used to you, we'll tell him properly.

I'll be by your side, we'll convince him.

But calm, step by step, no rushing.

First the ID, then Alya, then the child, understood?

Boran, we need to talk.

-Why? -Come to the room, we'll talk there.

-What happened? -Come with me.

-What happened? -A little kid came up outside.

He said, "Give this to Boran Albora." Handed it to me and ran off.

-Hello? -It's Ecmel.

Ecmel.

What the hell are you trying to do?

-Look, son, just listen. -Don't call me son.

Don't call me son!

-How dare you call me? -You're stuck in that mansion.

You're like a prisoner there, you don't even have an ID.

-I can help you. -You? Help me?

You help me? You lying dog.

-Boran, listen, son… -The only thing you can do

is try to take my life.

May the devil see your face, get lost!

Jackass.

You'll come to your senses.

You'll see.

Boran…

What is it, why are you here again?

Nothing, come on, let's go.

Hello, I couldn't get out of school, sorry.

My dear.

Mom.

Come sit, dear.

-Is the passport ready? -Ready, ready.

The place you'll stay is ready too.

When you land at Frankfurt Airport, one of our men will pick you up.

Don't worry, they're trustworthy.

They'll settle you in your new place.

If you need anything, just let us know.

-When am I flying? -Tomorrow.

On Kaya's wedding day, you'll go to Frankfurt.

Zerrin,

Demir can't find out you're leaving.

Yes brother, don't worry.

So, there's a ceremony tonight.

Based on my current GPA, I'm first in the department.

Really?

-Congratulations. -Thanks.

But after all that effort, I'll leave without graduating.

No… all the conditions will be set for you to continue studying there.

…everything will be arranged.

-Really? -Of course.

Yes.

Thank you, really.

Come on, let's go.

Zerrin, let me hug you.

-Thank you. -Take care of yourself and your baby.

If anything happens, call or write right away, okay?

Cihan, I'm glad you're here, really.

In our family, there's no happy love.

-Can you leave, Boran? -I just came to see Deniz.

Deniz isn't here, please leave.

Okay, why are you so angry?

I'm not angry, you didn't knock. Okay, please leave.

Boran… Boran, leave.

What, are you kicking me out of my room?

-Boran. -Boran.

Leave, come on.

Come on.

-Boran, don't test my patience. -What if I do, Cihan?

-What if I do, what will you do? -What's going on here?

I'm… Mom, don't interfere, don't…

I'm talking to you like a man, don't push it.

-Brother, what's happening? -Stay out of it.

Alright? We're going to talk like men right now.

My son is staying in there.

-I want to see my son. -Nobody's saying you can't see him.

Alya is staying in that room too.

-You can't just barge in like that. -I'll stay with my son.

-No way. -Why not?

He's my son, isn't he? I'm his father, so why can't I stay?

You're his father, but my son will stay with me.

You didn't let me in earlier, you blocked me.

I didn't block you, I'm staying in that room too.

I said don't come in without knocking!

So you're telling me to crawl back into my cave, bury myself there, is that it?

-What does that have to do with it? -No, my dear, it's not like that.

Bride, let's do this. Boran stays in his room here,

and you stay in the room upstairs, okay?

Fine, stay in your room, I'll stay with my son there.

He'll stay with me.

Listen, for a year I've done everything to keep my son with me,

so I wouldn't be separated from him. Ask them, they'll tell you.

And now I should give him up? My son will stay with me, don't push it!

He'll stay with me!

You heard Alya, exactly.

Boran, that child is used to being there, he'll stay with his mother too.

If you don't want to stay in the cave room, there are plenty of rooms in the mansion

pick one and stay there.

But you can't just walk into that room whenever you want.

-What happens if I do, Cihan? -I'll tell you what happens.

I'll tell Alya, she'll take Cihan and stay in my room, and you'll

enjoy the room all alone.

-No, that won't work. -Mom, I said don't interfere

why don't you get it!

I just want to see my son, my son!

My son is in that room. I'll see him and the room too!

Stop making me repeat myself, Boran!

You're going to learn to act properly, to act like a man.

Don't you understand?

What are you doing here?

-My son. -Cihan.

Your father wants to see your room, go show him

spend some good time together.

Come on, Dad.

Alright son, let's go.

Come on, come on.

Well done, you've turned the mansion into hell.

-Don't talk nonsense, Mom! -Go to hell.

Keçe, are you free?

Yes.

I've got a meeting, I'm heading out, I'll be back late tonight.

Alright, I'm going to the ceremony tonight anyway.

I'm first in the department, they're giving me a plaque.

Congratulations, well done.

To be first with all these troubles, that's impressive.

But why didn't you tell me?

I would've canceled my meeting, I want to be there with you, Keçe.

-I'm your husband. -You're right, sorry.

There's been so much going on, I forgot.

But from now on, we'll be together.

We'll find other places to go.

If my meeting ends early, I'll try to make it.

Okay.

-I'll tell the guys to drop you off. -Okay, okay.

Alright then.

Congratulations again.

Thanks again.

Use your knife

well done, my boy.

So tell me

did you show your dad the room?

Yes, I showed him, he was glad it hadn't changed.

Of course it won't change, it's his room.

So what did you talk about?

We talked about the days in Toronto.

-What else did you talk about? -Nothing else.

So you didn't talk, fine then.

Boran, come here, we were talking about you.

Son,

what did you talk about?

That you were glad the room hadn't changed, that's what I was saying.

Dad, your favorite dishes are here.

Ümmü and Pakize made them.

Did you tell them to cook?

Nope! Grandma told them.

Nope what, son?

Is that how you talk to your father? Does that suit you?

We love it, Cihan Dad. Don't we, Dad?

That doesn't suit you at all, Deniz.

Nope! It suits me.

Here everything is natural.

If you relax, maybe you'll enjoy it more.

Yeah Dad, don't stress.

Ümmü, dear, Boran's service, his meal.

-What does Mr. Boran eat, what does he want? -I'll handle it, leave it.

-I'll give him stuffed grape leaves then. -I said I'll handle it, enough!

-Okay. -Go on.

Leave it.

Pakize, give me some water.

Cihan, tomorrow is Uncle Kaya's wedding.

I know. He's marrying Ipek.

Yes. Tomorrow our mansion will be very crowded.

People everywhere.

So we need to agree on something.

Agree on what?

You won't tell anyone about Boran Dad.

Why not?

Because not everyone knows Boran Dad is here.

Most people don't know.

I know it's not easy for a kid your age to understand this.

But I promise when the time comes, you'll learn with everyone else

you'll know the reason too, okay?

-Okay. -Deal?

Deal.

It's almost time, son, almost time.

Ipek's family

aren't having a henna night. What does that even mean?

How can that be?

It can, Mom, it can.

There's a ceremony at school. Ipek came second in her department.

So they're giving her a plaque.

Congratulate her for me.

I will, thanks.

Good, well done to my girl. Wish she had been first.

Zerrin was first, Mom.

Bravo, Mom, bravo. You'll choke.

I'm late, I'll go. Enjoy your meal.

Send greetings to her, tell her I congratulated her.

-I'll tell her, Mom. -Water.

-Is he still in love with Zerrin? -Hey!

What?

-Pakize. -Cihan.

-Do we have dessert? -Of course we do.

-You wanted dessert? -Yes.

We made you şekerpare.

Zerrin Albora Baybars.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Good evening, everyone.

First to my faculty, then my professors,

and finally my family, thank you.

I guess in life, while we make plans, things happen as they should.

In my most desperate moment

a small life growing inside me

taught me how to hold on to life.

May this plaque be a light for whatever awaits me ahead.

Let it shine a little.

Thank you.

Come, come.

Let's see.

Let me look first, wait.

Shall we go greet Kaya and Ipek too?

Let's.

We'll come later.

-Congratulations, dear. -Thank you so much.

-How are you? -How are you?

-I'm fine, how are you? -Good too. Did you pick your dress?

-I did. -Are you happy with it?

Yes, it's beautiful, now just waiting for tomorrow.

-Zerrin, you're okay, right? -I'm fine, Mom, just tired.

My head hurts a bit.

If it's because you're leaving for Frankfurt…

No.

I'm determined, I'll go.

So you say.

Come on, let's congratulate her.

Congratulations, Zerrin, you deserved it.

Thank you, Ipek. And congratulations to you too.

I congratulate you too.

She was always first in high school too.

And I was first from the bottom.

Everything continues as it was.

Except for one thing.

Thank you.

By the way, I wish you happiness.

Take good care of yourselves.

Be very happy.

Come on, Zerrin, let's go.

Good evening.

See you tomorrow morning.

-Okay. -See you.

See you.

-Congratulations. Good evening. -Good evening.

Keçi, sorry, I really couldn't make it in time. Congratulations.

Thanks, Demir, thank you.

Alright, good evening.

Demir, he's getting married tomorrow. Let it go.

"Then the Little Prince looked at his star and smiled."

Getting sleepy?

-Yes. -Okay.

Close your eyes, we'll continue tomorrow.

-Mom? -Yes, dear.

Are you staying here again tonight?

-Yes. -Are you mad at Dad?

No, sweetheart, nothing like that.

But lately your dad's meetings have been running late.

I didn't want to be alone, so I came to be with my son.

Shouldn't I come? Don't you want me here?

I don't know, maybe I do.

Really? Don't you want me?

Mom, you'll keep me awake.

You just don't like it, right? You don't like it at all.

Close your eyes, sleep. Come on, my love.

But sometimes we'll go to Dad again, right? Because I miss him.

We will, we will. Now sleep, we'll go.

-Good night, I love you. -I love you too.

Oh!

-Good night. -Good night.

What's up?

Couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd make some herbal tea. You?

Ugh! I couldn't sleep either.

I'll make you some too.

Herbal tea won't do it for me.

If only I knew a good doctor, they'd prescribe me sleeping pills.

Well, I know a very good doctor.

But she prescribes herbal tea. Drink it.

I'll drink it.

Bring your cup, come.

Where are Pakize and the others?

Probably went to bed early. Don't know.

Strange! They're usually here at this hour.

How's Cihan?

Good, asleep.

But he fell asleep asking questions.

Like why I'm staying here, are you mad at Dad, things like that.

I said no, Dad has late meetings.

I said I'm staying with him.

But one day he'll definitely learn we're divorcing.

He will, of course, but no need to confuse him now.

He's already scarred enough because of Boran.

He's trying to get past it. Let it be.

If it stays like this, it's fine.

Just don't do anything new to hurt my son more.

This is nice, like this.

What?

Just sitting here, drinking something.

We'll do it.

-Really? -Yes.

Let's do it.

So, what else?

-I'm good, you? -Well…

I was going to say something, but you cut me off with honey.

-Do we have honey, should we add some? -We'll add it.

-Really. -It boiled.

It boiled. I'll get it.

-Tell me. -Wait, just joking, go on.

That's enough.

-Now it needs to steep. -Okay.

Three or four minutes.

We've got three or four minutes.

I like that.

It felt like a surprise, really nice.

-I didn't expect it at all. -Mhm!

-Do you like surprises? -I do.

-I'm glad. -So, would you make one?

-No, I wouldn't. -Then why ask?

Because I like them too.

We'll do it.

Oh! Very nice.

So now that the rooms are split, you meet in the kitchen?

Yes.

What's up, Boran?

What are you two doing here alone in the middle of the night?

You sent everyone away. Trying to be alone together?

Boran, what are you implying?

Look, Cihan, just because you haven't divorced Alya doesn't mean she's still your wife.

What's going on?

Come, Mom, come, so he doesn't feel alone, stand by him.

What do you think, Mom? They're meeting secretly here behind my back.

-What are you saying, Boran? -What are you talking about?

Mom, we just wanted to sit and have a drink,

and you'll make it forbidden again.

Cihan, I was just looking for you.

Mehmet came. His daughter's giving birth, he's waiting outside urgently.

-Outside, here? -Yes, outside. Come on.

-Who's Mehmet? -From a nearby village, Cihan.

Whoever he is, she's sick.

Mom, you stay here, we'll be right back.

What's happening, where are they going?

Wait, wait, just wait. They'll be back soon, son.

-I'll check. -No, stop. Don't, Boran.

What if they recognize you? Stay calm, they'll be back soon.

-What happened? -What's wrong, Mehmet?

Mr. Cihan, my daughter's in Alakayın village.

The midwife is trying but can't manage. Her condition is very bad.

-Your wife is a doctor. -Yes.

For God's sake, let her save my daughter.

Madam, for God's sake, it'll be charity for my child,

-my family, for all of us. -Okay, okay.

-Please, sir, for God's sake. -Of course.

-Of course. -Get the full address.

-Wait, we're coming now. -God bless you, sir.

-May God never separate you. -Of course. We're coming.

-I'll grab my bag. -Okay, okay.

-You got the full address, right? -We did, brother, we did.

-Will you explain what's happening? -Hurry up.

There's an emergency birth in Alakayın village.

The man came asking for help, I said okay.

We'll go with Alya. I'll take her.

-Alakayın? At this hour? -Yes.

Babies choose their own time, Boran.

Why are you taking her? Let the men take her.

The man asked me to help.

So I'll take Alya. What's the problem, should I leave her alone…

I'm ready.

Cihan, isn't there another doctor at the hospital?

-Why Alya? -Come on, they asked me…

-Call someone else, send them. -They asked me personally,

so of course I'll go. Please, births don't wait.

-Can we go? -Okay, come on, come on.

Alright son, leave it to me.

-I'm coming too. -No, no. Boran, don't even think about it.

-Mom! -Get a grip.

If someone sees you and recognizes you, you'll be caught.

She's not going out for fun. She's a doctor, she's going to work.

-Brother, can you grab my bag? -Should I take it? Okay, I'll take it.

-Hurry up. -Here.

-Come on, hurry. -I'll get the bag.

-Come on! -Okay, okay, you…

Wait, I'll grab the bag too.

-Oh! -Oh! Welcome, Mr. Cihan.

-Welcome, Madam. Please. -Thank you.

-Go, go, go. -This way, right?

First room on the right, ma'am.

-Oh! -Please.

-Should I come too? -Come, come.

So?

-Oh! -What oh?

Where's the woman giving birth, Mehmet?

Wait, wait. She's at the hospital, already gave birth.

She had a beautiful baby girl. Both are fine, very well.

-What? -Yes.

Yes, brother, they're fine.

Thank God, they're doing great.

What's going on?

-What? What time is it? -What time?

-It's past midnight. -Okay.

And today is your birthday.

♪ Happy birthday, brother ♪

♪ Happy birthday, Cihan ♪

♪ Happy birthday, brother ♪

♪ Happy birthday, happy birthday ♪

♪ Happy birthday, brother ♪

-Why did you do this now? -Come on!

We wanted to celebrate at the mansion but

there's no peace there anymore, so we did it here, sorry brother.

We thought you needed to breathe, to smile a little.

And Alya really wanted it. Glad we did.

We had to trick you a little to bring you, but it was worth it.

Honestly, I said let's make a kebab cake.

But Alya didn't want it, Nare got mad, so we dropped it.

-Thanks. -We made it with Mom, Mr. Cihan.

We found the recipe online. It's our first time.

But just the way you like it, simple. No fancy decorations.

Two candles, blow them out.

This is the first time in my life I'll blow out a birthday cake.

Blow.

Or don't blow yet, make a wish first, then blow.

Oh, a wish, okay.

I wished.

Blow.

-Bravo! -Bravo, brother!

Happy birthday.

-Happy birthday. -Come here.

Happy birthday, brother, glad you're here.

-Glad you're here. -You too.

You too, thank you, bless you.

Cihan, what did you wish for?

That stays with me.

-You cut it so we can serve. -Come on, let's cut the cake.

-Come on. -Brother, really.

-Let me take this off first. -Take it off.

-Get a knife. -Let's cut the cake.

-Here. -Kadir's going to fall into the cake

-any second now. -What would I fall?

-You'll fall, I can see it. -I don't like cream cakes.

-Obviously you don't. -I don't.

-Kadir, did you criticize my cake? -I didn't.

-If you eat more than two slices, you'll see. -I swear I don't like it.

I don't like cream cakes, honestly, I don't.

Wait, Cihan gets the first cut.

Why are you cutting, son? They told me to cut.

Are you cutting it? Was the cake made for you?

The first slice is yours.

Wait, let's take these.

Brother, look, we even tuned the instruments here.

I'll give this to the Old Man.

-It's pistachio! -Come on then.

The rest is his.

Don't you know I don't eat pistachio? I'm allergic, don't you know?

On your birthday I'll make it without pistachio. Don't eat it then.

Ümmü, come on, Ümmü.

-Kadir, shut up! -But pistachio baklava…

I swear I'll throw it at your head!

Let's just enjoy ourselves.

Now, what are we doing for Cihan's special day?

Ah, I know this one.

-"I climbed over the garden wall." -We talked about it in the car.

Come on, give me a plate, a spoon, something.

Play, play. You found something again.

♪ I climbed over the garden wall ♪

♪ I climbed over the garden wall ♪

♪ Ivy tangled with roses ♪

♪ Ivy tangled with roses ♪

♪ I kissed, I loved, I made peace ♪

♪ I kissed, I loved, I made peace ♪

♪ I'm burning, burning, burning, oh burning ♪

Oh no, Mrs. Sadakat.

She hasn't slept again, looks like a zombie. Oh Lord, my God.

Where have you been until this hour?

Ugh! It was a very difficult birth. It took a long time, until now.

The baby's fine, if you're wondering.

Just came late, that's all.

So, where were you?

They went to their relatives, Mom.

My mother was sick, we stopped by to wish her well.

Alright, may God heal her, get well soon.

Mom, let me tell you before you ask.

I went to the ceremony, you know Ipek came second.

Then we walked around a bit after. You know, our wedding is tomorrow.

It wasn't a problem, right Mom?

We'll see tomorrow.

Anyway, get well soon again, good night.

-Thank you. -Thanks.

-Get well soon. -Thank you, thanks.

-Thanks. -Thanks.

Kadir, son, don't pout just because you ate little cake, come on.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

-Good night. -You too.

Good night.

What's up, Mom? Still interrogating?

Alya went to her room, end your watch.

What now, you'll stand cross-watch duty?

Alright, good night.

Good night.

Ugh!

Alya.

Cihan.

Do your mother's watches include phone calls too?

No, if I'm on her radar

I'll speak carefully.

Probably they do.

Better call next time from a cordless phone.

Alya, thank you so much.

Honestly, this was the most wonderful, simplest

most beautiful night I've ever had. Thank you.

You're welcome. But the celebrations aren't over yet.

-Not over? -No.

What's next?

Your gift.

Gift?

Yes, where are you now? My…

Go to my room's side.

Okay, it'll take a bit.

I'll go to your room, wait.

Yes.

Open the nightstand drawer.

Nightstand?

See it?

Yes.

So, do you like it?

Cihan?

Cihan?

Cihan?

Cihan?

To see if I like it, I need to wear it first.

Let's put it on.

-This is the Mardin sun. -Okay.

To always light our hearts.

Then these are the lover cranes.

So if our paths ever part, we'll return to each other.

And these, you already know. Infinity symbol.

So our story never ends.

Give me your wrist.

So?

Do you like it?

It's the best gift I've ever received.

Really?

Because it has you in it.

Whatever we go through

whatever comes our way, I'll love you all my life.

Alya.

I'll love you all my life too.

Happy birthday.

Good night.

-Okay. -Okay.

-Watch the step. -Okay.

Okay.

Then…

…I'll go.

Thanks again.

Glad I was born.

Beyto, where's the cauldron? The fire's not lit yet!

Light it! Look at the time!

Cover these, don't let dust in.

Light that! If it won't burn, light the other!

Careful!

Come on, come on! Do I have to say everything?

-Old Man. -Yes, Cihan?

Good luck.

-Thanks, dear. -Good morning, sir.

Good morning, Kadir. Where's Kaya?

He hasn't come down yet.

Okay.

-Where's the musician? -Come on, son, come on.

Beyto, what are you still bringing?

Hey! What's this?

Brother.

Damn your brother!

-Damn the brother who trusts you! -Just a little…

-Just a little drink… -What did you do?

-Don't you have a wedding? -I do.

That's why I drank, I'm getting married.

The bride's family is about to arrive, are you insane?

Yes, they're coming, we'll greet them at the door.

We'll go, get married together, dance the halay.

-Are you marrying like this? -This is how you marry anyway.

I can't say yes sober.

I can't say yes with a clear head, if you can, I don't know.

Now the registrar will come and say Kaya Albora

without any pressure, force, or violence

I'll say yes!

Yes, damn it, yes!

All together now, yes!

Yes!

Yes!

-Oh no! -Oh no!

Look, I told him

I asked, are you sure? I said you're going to marry

-I said there's no turning back. -He swore on the Qur'an.

I said you're going to marry.

Look at him now, like a monkey.

Brother, should we fix him before Salih's family arrives?

No, at this wedding bullets will fire instead of drums.

Hey!

What Kadir?

What Salih?

What Salih, man?

Everyone just eats what's in front of them!

-Salih? -Hey flower, come down.

That's why I'll shout again, yes!

Don't shout!

-Close the door. -I'll shout, yes!

Act like a man, pull yourself together.

I'll slap you so you sober up!

Look, you're my brother.

Ipek, Ipek loves me so much.

Ipek loves me, she's a very good girl.

Can we say no to such a good girl at the table?

Would that fit the book of manhood?

It wouldn't. Zerrin told me…

…go, be happy.

She said go, get married.

So that's why I'll go and say yes.

-Damn. -Yes.

Come on, come on.

Call Alya, let her bring medicine or something.

Yeah…

I said whether it's a girl or boy, they'll love it.

A toy is a toy, it doesn't matter for a child, right?

Doesn't matter.

Two months left until we meet, right?

Two months.

As long as it comes healthy, we'll wait.

We'll wait.

Once the baby is born healthy, everything will be fine, right?

Mhm.

I'm going to my mom…

…I'll be back tonight.

Sure, I'll come pick you up in the evening, Keçe.

Okay.

Man, where have you been?

-Hungover from last night. -Sit down, sit down.

I thought the wedding was canceled, you know?

Why?

Because there's no wedding without a groom, and no groom without a shave.

-I get it. -But don't worry.

Brother Adem will give you a perfect groom's shave

-he'll get you ready well. -I'm totally relaxed.

Oh, my little troublemaker.

Oh, my beautiful girl.

I'll come there at the first chance to see you, okay my girl?

-Mom. -Speak, my dear.

Don't come.

-What do you mean don't come? -Don't come because

if you do, Demir and Dad will find me and never leave me alone.

-So don't come. -How can that be?

-Without seeing you. -I know.

-And there's a grandchild too. -I know, I'll miss you so much too.

But I promise, after some time I'll find a way.

God willing, God willing.

Promise.

My dear.

It's time, come on. Let's leave before Dad comes.

You think so?

-Come on, we're outside. -Okay.

Are you better, how are you?

My head's still pounding but I'm okay. The medicine helped.

-Now you'll take another one. -Really?

So you'll feel better, here.

Wait.

Go on, take it.

-I feel better. -How did that happen?

I'm better now.

Thanks, sister-in-law.

Kaya, son, is this what you should be doing?

You're getting married today, pull yourself together

get your head straight.

Alright Mom, he's just now coming around, let it go.

Instead of silencing me, you should stand by your brother.

I don't trust him, I don't trust him.

He could back out at the last minute. Say he won't sit at the wedding table.

Don't look at me like that, I said I'll marry. In a moment I'll go, I'll marry, Mom.

Hopefully, Kaya, God willing. I hope you're clear-headed enough

otherwise you know what could happen to you, right?

I hope you're clear-headed.

He still reeks, still stinks.

Mrs. Sadakat, Ipek and her family have arrived.

Alright dear, what are you waiting for? Don't keep them at the door, bring them in.

-Did you hear, Kaya? -Yes, I heard Mom, they've come.

Kaya, you're getting married, married. Come on, pull yourself together.

All of you, go welcome the bride.

-Let me lie down a bit more. -No, no.

-Get up, fix your hair now. -Get up, come on.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Mrs. Sadakat is waiting upstairs.

-Welcome. -Come in.

Thank you, thank you.

Oh, thank God.

Alright, let's hope for the best.

-Welcome, welcome. -Thank you, Mrs. Sadakat.

-Mr. Cihan. -Welcome.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

-Ipek, my girl. -Welcome.

-Welcome. How are you? -Thank you. I'm fine, you?

I'm okay, thank God.

So

-where's Kaya? -Getting ready.

Ipek, you girls go inside to the room.

Ümmü, Pakize, come on girls, go help.

Boys, take the bundles, the packages. Come on, this way.

You too, please, this way.

Welcome, welcome.

I'll go get dressed too, you all get ready.

-Brother, what are we going to do? -I don't know what we'll do.

This boy doesn't want it at all, how will it really happen?

I told him fifty times, anyway, I'll get ready now.

We'll get ready too.

How's Boran?

Worse off, how else?

Your clothes are in Deniz's room, come, let's get dressed.

-What's going on? -I came to pick up Zerrin.

Zerrin's not here, nobody's home.

What happened?

-Yes? -Demir Baybars.

-Yes, who are you? -Never mind who I am, just listen.

Zerrin Baybars's

at Mardin Airport right now.

What?

What are you saying?

She went to the international terminal.

I suggest you catch her before she flies.

What's happening, son? What's the problem?

Zerrin? International terminal?

He said Zerrin. He said international terminal.

Who said? International… What's she doing there? Where is this girl going?

Wait, son! I'm coming too, wait!

-Uncle, how are you? -Good, nephew, thank you.

-How are you? -Good, good, thank God.

Thank God.

Dad, do I look handsome?

You're the most handsome man in the world.

So handsome, so very handsome.

Look at my little prince.

Mashallah, my grandson, mashallah.

Mashallah. Did they give you an evil eye charm?

-No. -Let's put one on right away.

-Then let's ask them to put it. -Okay.

Yes, let's put it.

Seeing you all so happy together brings me such joy, nephew.

May God keep you together. May God never separate you.

Hasan, enough with the compliments, come on.

Go to the in-laws, spend some time with them. Help me out.

Alright, alright, sister.

Come on, son, come on.

Pakize, shall we go downstairs?

For God's sake, son, what are you doing here?

-They'll see you, honey. -I'm tired of living in hiding, Mom.

-Don't be foolish, please. -Nothing will happen.

They'll see you, honey, they'll see you.

Still no word from Nadim. Go inside, there are too many people.

-He hasn't come yet, hasn't called? -No, nothing, no news.

Maybe he never went to Syria at all. You're stalling me.

Are you lying to delay the meeting?

For God's sake, why would I do such a thing, Boran?

God forgive me. If you want, I'll give you his number, call him.

Now he's mocking me too, unbelievable.

What mocking? Enough, enough. For God's sake, enough.

Go inside. On the wedding day, people…

Come on, with all these people, honey, come on.

Come on.

-Still no news? -Mom, if there was, why wouldn't I tell you? No.

Alright then.

Zerrin?

Şahin called, they picked up Zerrin, they're on the way.

Good.

I'll check on Kaya. Come, go, go.

Oh Lord, grant me patience.

Get up.

Brother, what the hell have I done?

I knew it would be hard, but not this hard.

My mind doesn't accept it, my heart doesn't accept it.

It feels like today

I'm burying Zerrin forever in my heart.

I don't know what to do.

Pull yourself together, I'll come get you soon.

Ipek.

Ipek. Ipek.

Ipek.

He loved her so much, Cihan.

He still loves her so much.

I thought he could forget Zerrin,

but he couldn't, he couldn't forget her.

There's still hope for me, isn't there?

Maybe I can forget, maybe he'll forget. Hope is what keeps people alive.

-Brother Cihan? -I wish I could tell you nice things.

I wish I could say the words you want to hear, but

I can't. Because if I did, I'd be unfair to you both.

You need to know the truth.

You're about to start a path, you're going to marry.

This marriage doesn't only concern you.

It concerns Kaya too. When you marry…

Do you really think you'll be happy even though Kaya doesn't love you?

You won't be.

It can't be something one-sided.

Kaya has loved Zerrin since he was a boy, Ipek.

He tried a few times to give up on her, but he couldn't.

He never stopped loving her.

If you ask me, he'll love Zerrin until he dies.

That's how it is.

I'll tell you another truth.

You need to know this.

The child Zerrin is carrying is Kaya's.

-Does Kaya know? -No, he doesn't.

-Why didn't you tell him? -We couldn't.

We only just found out ourselves. And when we did

Zerrin had already married Demir.

And you were engaged to Kaya.

Things like this aren't easy to say.

You have to wait, balance things.

Find the right moment.

Think it through. Anyway, now you know the truth.

Whatever you decide, just don't wrong yourselves

don't ruin yourselves, alright?

It's your choice, whatever you want to do.

Ipek, my girl? Where are you?

Where are you, my girl?

I'm here, Mom.

My girl, the registrar has arrived.

Where are you?

The registrar is waiting, come on.

-I'm coming. -What's going on?

What are you doing here?

I just came out for some air.

They kept me company, thankfully.

I see. Did the fresh air help, my girl?

It did.

Good, then let's go downstairs. Don't keep the registrar waiting.

Come on, my girl.

Careful, slowly, my girl.

Tell Kaya

to get ready quickly and come. Don't be late yourselves.

-What do you think she'll do? -We'll see.

We'll see, we'll see. We'll see.

The registrar's here, let's go.

Come on.

Dear passengers, last call for flight 2984 from Mardin to Frankfurt.

Please proceed to gate 12 immediately.

We wish you a pleasant journey. Thank you.

My beautiful girl.

May God open your path wherever you go.

Alright Mom, don't cry anymore.

For Zerrin, this will be a new beginning.

Don't worry, everything will be fine, okay?

You'll be safe.

Go on, may your path be clear.

Go.

You missed it, stop.

Sorry, sorry, excuse me.

There's a line.

-Wait your turn, we're in a hurry. -Demir, calm down.

-The plane's leaving, the plane's leaving! -I can't calm down.

-Wait. -Sir.

-Here, call, call, here okay. -Sir.

-One minute. -Wait.

Goodbye, my child.

-My girl. -Go safely.

-My darling. -Zerrin?

-Zerrin, come here. -Come on Zerrin, hurry, hurry.

-Zerrin, get inside, my girl. -Come on, get inside, hurry.

My girl, get inside.

Zerrin!

-Zerrin! -Why are you running, why?

-Where to? -Let go.

-Ecmel. -Move.

-You can't pass like this, sir. -Zerrin, don't go. Don't do this.

-Come here. -Don't interfere.

-Get out of here. -Come here quickly.

Don't interfere. Go bother Boran.

Zerrin!

Don't go!

-Don't meddle with my daughter. -Do you want to destroy her home?

-Zerrin, come back. -Go bother Boran.

-Zerrin? -Sir, you can't pass.

Please step back.

Zerrin?

Come on sir, step back.

-You're not interfering. -Don't interfere.

Where is she going? Where are you sending my daughter?

-I said don't interfere. -Where are you sending my wife?

-You bastard! -You're vile men.

-Let go. -You're dishonorable men.

Get off, get off my children's lives.

-Get off. -Stop! Let go!

-You'll pay for this. -I'll make you pay.

Quiet down. Sir, calm down please.

Sir, this is an airport. Outside, now.

Are you insane?

Gentlemen, this is an airport. Get a grip.

-Okay, we're leaving. -Okay, okay.

Alright.

Don't worry Demir, I'll take care of it.

Not just Frankfurt, not just Germany

wherever you go in the world, I'll find you.

If I don't, don't call me Demir Baybars.

-Sir? -I'll find you, damn it.

-Please don't shout. -Come on.

My precious girl.

My daughter is my most precious. Take care of her like your own eyes.

I entrust her to you.

One day you'll grow up and be a groom like this.

Dear guests, welcome.

From the Albora family, Kaya Albora, and

from the Önderlioğlu family, Ipek Önderlioğlu

have applied to our municipality to marry.

After review, no obstacle to their marriage was found.

Now, in front of you all, I will take their vows.

Ipek Önderlioğlu, without any pressure or influence

do you, of your own free will, accept Kaya Albora as your husband?

My girl Ipek, answer.

Miss Ipek, we couldn't hear you. Do you accept Kaya Albora

as your husband?

Madam Registrar, she's just nervous. Please ask again.

I think she's a bit excited. Miss Ipek, I'll ask one last time.

Do you accept Kaya Albora as your husband?

No.

-What are you saying? -My girl?

-What's wrong, daughter? -What are you saying, my girl?

What's happening, Ipek?

I can't marry you, Kaya.

What happened? Ipek, what's wrong?

Mr. Salih, what's going on here?

Mom, why did the bride run away?

Stay close to Pakize, alright?

-My girl? -Boys go.

My girl, what's wrong, wait? My girl?

Ipek, Ipek, stop a moment.

Ipek?

-Ipek, my girl, what happened? -What happened, Ipek?

Ipek, tell us, explain, what happened?

-My girl, open up. -Go, go, go. Hurry, hurry.

What is this disgrace?

Kaya?

Inside.

Everyone inside, come on. Inside, Mom.

Inside. Kadir, tell them the wedding's over.

Say sorry or something, so people don't misunderstand.

-Luck. -That's right.

Sorry.

I don't understand, I don't know.

I just can't grasp it. How could the girl do this?

Why did she do this? Was it because of you?

Did you say something, did you do something to her?

I didn't say anything, I don't know anything

I have no idea, Mom.

Look, this girl would never leave you

she loved you so much, she'd never leave you.

So why did she walk away?

Did you tell her you love Zerrin?

-She already knew. -What are you saying?

She knew, I didn't say it outright, but she guessed.

She sat at the wedding table knowingly. She's not stupid.

But I didn't say anything. I don't know why she left, Mom.

-I don't know. -Okay, let's calm down. Mom, calm down.

Look, the girl sat down

she thought it over and made the right decision.

Why? Because he doesn't want her, he doesn't love her.

Would she spend a lifetime with him? A joyless marriage.

They'd argue and fight. This was for the best, Mom.

How is this for the best? Tell me.

A beautiful girl just left him.

Zerrin, his great love, is married to someone else

pregnant by someone else. He'll carry this love,

and dry up with it for the rest of his life.

Enough, Mom, enough.

-Come here, we're talking. -Mom, enough, Mom.

Mom, listen…

if the one who said no downstairs had been Kaya

there would've been war downstairs. Right? Right.

It would've turned into hell here.

So pray that the girl said no.

Really. Relax.

Mom.

I'll tell you. They talked her out of it.

Cihan's behind this. They must have planned it.

-Look, I struggled a lot, okay? -Calm down. Yes.

But I was ready, I was going to say yes at that table.

-What's going on? -I told her.

Told her what?

-The truth. -What truth? What truth?

The child Zerrin is carrying is yours, Kaya.

My child?

Yes, the child Zerrin is carrying is yours.

Yes.

Zerrin's…

…mine…

Zerrin told me no a hundred times.

Denied it a hundred times.

Did Zerrin lie to me?

Huh?

You?

How did you find out?

Demir can't have children.

Zerrin was never with Demir. She told us.

Zerrin didn't tell me. You…

How could you not tell me?

I couldn't. Because you were engaged, and Zerrin was married.

How does that matter?

How does it matter? How could you not tell me?

Zerrin's child is mine

I'm going to be a father, and you don't tell me?

For the baby's safety, Zerrin didn't want it told.

Cihan wanted to tell you, I stopped him too.

-Sister-in-law, look… -For the baby's safety.

Wait, I came to your room, looked into your eyes…

-How could you not tell me? -For the baby.

No. I cried blind beside you. I fell into that pit.

I went blind! How could you not tell me?

Kaya, we had to protect you and that girl.

Protect me like this? This isn't protection. This isn't right.

I'm becoming a father! How could you not tell me?

Do I need you to teach me how to protect?

-This isn't protection! No! -Calm down.

No! Will that child grow up with Demir?

-Calm down. -I can't hold back anymore.

I'll go get Zerrin. No matter what, I'll go get her.

Now do you see why I didn't tell you?

-What should I do? -Kaya, you're being reckless.

-What, just wait here? -Yes.

No way, I'll go get Zerrin.

-Kaya, stop! -What?

-She went to Germany. -Who?

Zerrin.

Germany? What?

She's flying to Frankfurt now.

She's gone.

You…

What are you saying, what are you talking about?

Do you hear yourselves? How could this be?

You sent Zerrin to Germany while she's carrying my child?

-Kaya, calm down. -You let Zerrin and my child

go to Germany? How could you?

What will Zerrin do there?

What will Zerrin do alone in Germany?

She begged us to send her. For the baby's safety, I said.

What safety? How?

-Listen. -Huh?

Our brother and Şahin arranged a place for her, very safe.

Safe? Her safety is with me, Nare!

-She's in a safe place. -Don't drive me crazy!

What will Zerrin do there? I'm losing my mind! No!

Şahin. Come, come. Come here, stand in front of me.

No, no!

Şahin, what did you do, did you put her on the plane?

We did, we did. The plane took off, no problem.

Alright. Did Demir get the message?

Yes, yes.

Our man delivered the news.

Demir, thankfully, made it just in time to watch Zerrin fly to Frankfurt.

Good.

Now let him search alone in Germany.

How can you talk so casually like that?

Calm down! I swear I'll hit you! Shut up!

What is he doing, what's he saying?

Whose house is this, why did you bring me here?

Why did this one come, this miserable one, what's happening?

Zerrin!

Oh, my little troublemaker!

My child!

What did you do, where are you? Your mother would die for you.

I'm fine, Mom, it's okay.

I hear Zerrin's voice. So the Old Man took her off the plane, right?

Zerrin? Is Zerrin there?

-Wait a minute. -He did, he did.

We brought her to the house we arranged, no problem.

They're just staring at me in shock.

Alright, hang up.

Is Zerrin there?

Didn't Zerrin get on that plane, didn't she leave?

-Now look. -What's going on?

Yes. She's in a safe place now, no problem, okay?

-Here? In Midyat? -Yes, here.

I couldn't tell you. If I had, you'd have broken off the engagement.

The reason I did this was…

See, it worked out. The girl left the wedding.

Mr. Salih has nothing to do with us anymore.

And Demir can go search alone in Germany.

-You did this? -Yes, I did.

-Let me kiss your hand. -Get out, get out!

I swear I'll slap you right now. You shouted.

And now you tell me? Am I being reckless too?

If something went wrong, we didn't want false hope.

I'm going to be a father.

-Let's go get Zerrin. -Wait a minute, for God's sake.

-Let's go see Zerrin. -Be patient.

-What will we do? -Tomorrow we'll say we're going to the company.

I'll take you all, we'll go see Zerrin, okay?

I'm going to be a father.

-I'll be a father, a father! -Stop shouting!

Stop. I said they'll hear. Calm down, calm down. They'll hear.

How did this child wait in his mother's belly like this?

I'm going to be a father.

I will.

-What's going on? -Mom, I don't understand.

I boarded the plane, the officer came, said there's an emergency.

Before I could say anything, Muzaffer took me here.

I just follow orders.

Şahin and Cihan told me to, so I did.

Come on, let's go home. Come on.

Thank you. God bless you. But why didn't you tell me?

-Come on, Mom. -Come, Mom.

I died and came back to life there.

Sorry, Mom, but for Dad and Demir to believe, it had to be this way.

-What is this place? -Forget it now, come on.

-Come on, Mom. -Whose house is this?

Mom, don't ask, let's go.

God's will. On the day your wedding was ruined, Zerrin escaped to Germany.

Is that so?

So you didn't know, you had no idea?

No, I knew. I helped her escape.

I thought you'd be happy. Aren't you?

You're mocking me, son, making fun of me?

Go ahead, laugh.

I'm happy. Of course I'm happy. Very happy.

I was going to give charity, but I stopped, thinking he'd chase after her.

Give your charity anyway, Mom, it's a blessing, for God's sake, but

this boy can't go anywhere, don't worry.

No, I really can't.

I don't have a visa, no appointment.

-What? -Yes.

Come son, sit.

Welcome, Mr. Boran.

Good evening.

Ümmü, serve his soup.

I made tarhana soup, you like it.

Where's Deniz?

Downstairs, eating with Kadir and the others, in the kitchen.

What's this, Alya?

Are you hiding my son in the kitchen now to keep him from me?

What are you saying, Boran, what does that mean?

Ümmü, my girl, bring the child, come on.

No. The boy wanted to eat there himself. Why bring him?

If his father is here, my son will be with me.

I'll eat with my son, that's all.

Boran, it's not intentional. Pakize, Kadir, and the Old Man, once a week

they take Cihan with them, make pasta day.

They cook, have fun, talk, eat.

If you force the boy to come here now, what will happen?

Why upset him for no reason?

If you want, go eat with them downstairs.

I don't eat in the kitchen with the servants.

What are you doing?

They're not servants. They're the ones who built this home with us, Boran.

Not only do I eat with them at the same table

I share my soul with them.

I entrust them with my soul.

What's a meal, anyway?

Good evening.

Good evening, Muzaffer.

Enjoy your meal.

-Cihan, the village head called. -What did he say?

About tomorrow's circumcision feast.

He said they won't start until you and Alya arrive.

He asked when to begin.

-Hmm. -Noon.

-Okay, noon. -Noon works.

Alya's not going anywhere.

I don't understand?

You're not going!

What are you saying, Boran?

Boran, if you'll allow me…

Stop acting like her husband, Cihan!

I said you're not going anywhere, you're not!

-Look here, Boran… -Old Man.

Yes, Cihan?

Listen to me very carefully now.

Look, Alya stayed by those children's side when they were sick.

She stayed up all night just to see them get better.

When that wasn't enough, she took them to the hospital, brought them to school, helped them.

She bought clothes for those children.

She never held herself back from them.

She never withheld her help.

So if those children are waiting for Alya now, the answer lies with her.

You'll get your answer from Alya, you'll ask Alya.

Alya will give her answer, you won't listen to anyone else here.

Of course I'm coming. Brother, of course I'm coming, of course.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Enjoy your meal.

Mom, enjoy your meal. Kaya, enjoy your meal.

Ümmü, thank you.

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

Ümmü.

My girl, clean up what's spilled.

Clean up what's spilled, if you can.

Clean up what's spilled, if you can.

-Did you eat well? -I did.

Guess who won the fastest pasta-eating contest?

-Who could it be? -Who won?

-Who? -That's what we're asking, who won?

That's what I'm asking, who?

-Who? -We're asking who won.

Who? I'm asking.

-Who won? -Who won, who, who?

Alright, let's say it.

One, two, three!

Kadir.

Correct. Because I asked an easy one.

That's why we got it right. Come on.

Shall we sleep now?

-Pakize, thank you. Good night. -Good night.

Tomorrow morning we're leaving with Kaya, you know that, right?

Yes.

When I return, for the celebration will you be ready?

I will. I'm not going to the hospital tomorrow anyway.

Alright.

-Come on. What do we say to Dad? -Good night, Dad.

Good night.

Go on.

Good night.

Sleep in the bed.

Sleep in the bed.

-This is the place, right brother? -This is it.

She's inside, right?

-Hey! -Hello, Aunt.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

Honestly, I wish my daughter had gone instead.

Aunt, please don't.

-Is Zerrin inside? -Yeah.

Let me see her.

No closer than one meter.

-Did you hear me? -Okay, Aunt.

One meter, I promise.

I'll measure it! I've got a tape measure in my pocket!

Alright Mom, measure if you want. The boy's heart is melting already.

Go in, before she changes her mind.

Zerrin!

Zerrin!

Zerrin!

The wedding with Ipek didn't happen.

Because she learned the truth that only I should have known

the truth that only I should have known, before I did.

Why was I the last to know, Zerrin?

I wanted to tell you.

But I couldn't, I just couldn't.

I had to protect you, Kaya.

I had to protect our baby too.

Our baby.

Yes.

Kaya, what did I say, my boy?

No getting close.

Aunt, I love her so much.

She's carrying my baby.

Yes, you messed up.

Standing tall like a rooster won't clean up the mess you made.

You think just because the baby's yours you'll take the girl right away.

That's not how it works. I'm in shock.

I haven't even digested what I did myself.

And my daughter is still married.

Kaya, come. Come here.

Kaya, come.

Look, she will pull out the tape measure and show us all, come on.

Come on.

From now on, you'll both do whatever she says.

Aunt, whatever you say goes, okay?

Did you hear?

I heard.

You'll wait, you'll be patient. I know it'll be hard to wait.

Meanwhile we'll figure out how to handle things, alright Aunt?

But first this girl must divorce.

-Yes. -Hm.

So until Zerrin divorces, she'll stay here?

She'll stay here, but be careful when you come and go

don't let anyone follow you, it could cause trouble.

-You heard. Did you hear me? -Yes.

-Why are you laughing, did you hear? -I heard.

-Did you hear? -I heard.

Alright, alright.

We're coming to the celebration with Nare too.

Okay. I'll bring Alya and Mom. Kaya will come with you.

Zerrin, take care of yourself and our baby, alright?

Alright.

Yes, she will, she will. Come on.

Don't stay too long with her, so Dad doesn't suspect, okay?

-Okay son, don't worry. -We'll be in touch.

If you need anything, call me.

-Don't call, don't call. -Enough, walk!

Walk, come on, walk.

Where have you been for two hours?

Book tickets to Frankfurt immediately.

Go to the consulate.

Under the name Zerrin Baybars, passport entries and exits

all the information, bring it to me.

You'll spread out into the Turkish neighborhoods.

Mosques, markets, cafés, ask each one, one by one.

A sound, a sight, a breath. You will find Zerrin Baybars.

Don't come back without finding Zerrin Baybars, understood?

-Understood. -Hurry!

Go! Go!

Dino, why are you standing there? You go to the airport too.

Camera footage, entries, exits. Bring me documents

bring me information, quickly.

-We're going. -Hurry!

I'm ready, I'm ready.

Now I'm going down to Deniz.

Alright, I'll wait, okay.

Did you dress like this for the celebration, or for Cihan, Alya?

-What nonsense are you talking? -You're not going!

-Get out of my way. -I said you're not going!

You won't be seen with him in that square.

-Get out! For God's sake! -I said you're not going!

-Boran, let me go! -You're not going!

-Let go! What's it to you? -You're not going, I forbid it!

Let me go!

-Give me that necklace! -Stop!

-I said give me that necklace! -You're hurting my arm, let go.

You'll take Cihan out of your heart, Alya. Give me that necklace!

-I won't. -Give me that necklace, Alya!

-I won't, let me go! -I said give me that necklace, give it!

Cihan! Boran!

Cihan, what are you doing?

Are you two brothers going to fight each other? What are you doing?

Come on, get up slowly. Get up, slowly, slowly.

-Are you alright? -Slowly.

Come on, slowly, slowly get up.

Mom, we'll be late.

Alright, go down then.

Boran, my dear, what are you doing?

Vurgun, handle it.

Boran, are you in your right mind, my champ? What are you doing?

Stay out of it, Vurgun.

-Boran. -Don't.

-Don't come! -Boran, just listen.

Welcome.

Come, come.

Give that too.

Here, take it.

Take this too.

Do you have a brother? Take this to him too.

-It's time for the halay. -Yes, yes, of course.

Let's dance the halay, come on.

Halay, halay, say it, come on.

-Go. -I don't know how.

Come on, come on.

-Come on, come on, come on. -Kadir, bring them too, bring those.

Mr. Cihan, join us too.

Mr. Cihan, Mrs. Alya, don't break the children's hearts, dance with us.

You dance, we'll watch.

But we want to dance with you.

Let's not upset the children, boss, come on.

Hit it, hit it!

Boran!

What are you doing?

You can't dance with Cihan in this square!

-Boran! -Be quiet! Everyone's watching, they'll realize!

You're my wife, mine!

-Mr. Boranisn't dead! -Boran Bey!

You're the wife of Boran Albora!

Boran!

Isn't that Boran?

That's Boran, damn it!
