I need to speak to Miss Zeynep

I couldn't get her on the phone.

I told you about it.

A student of Miss Zeynep, Melek Akçay

At the age of seven, she was lost,

I need to talk to you about her.

Excuse me.

We were looking for Zeynep Gunes.

We looked in the Officer's Room, and whe wasn't there, so we thought we'd ask you.

Zeynep Gunes started teaching here.

This is her class, but she left.

Zeynep Gunes, you said, right?

Is your sister someone

To go on a trip to observe birds?

Yes, she mentioned it.

My brother is in the same research group, that's how I know.

I saw her at the bus station yesterday.

She was on her way to Istanbul.

Who called?

Say something, girl.

Who did Turna call Mom?

Who called Turna on the phone?

Sister, Turna is your daughter, right?

Why would she call a child her daughter

Who isn't hers.

I don't know, Mom, ask her.

Say something, girl.

Turna is your...

Turna is my daughter.

Look at me and tell me.

Zeynep.

Sister.

Wait a minute, Duru.

The missing girl from Bandirma.

She was about seven, too, wasn't she?

That student of yours?

Zeynep.

I'll take Turna and go.

Forget everything.

Forget about this situation, about Turna, please.

Don't take me for a fool.

Tell me exactly what you did.

Zeynep.

Answer me.

Did you-

I'll take Turna and go.

I'll go, I'll go

You're not saying anything else.

It's like everything's gonna be okay when you're gone.

Wait a minute, Gamze.

There's a criminal in our family.

And we can't ignore it.

Zeynep, please answer me.

Turna-

My mother has a name.

She owns a company.

Duru goes to school, I'm getting married.

Sister

If they catch you, they'll arrest you.

Then no one's gonna believe we don't know anything.

Zeynep.

That kid.

Turna.

She's not my daughter.

...was my student, I kidnapped her.

What do you mean you kidnapped her?

Do you realize that

Kidnapping

Is a crime?

It's a very serious crime.

And you make it sound like you bought a cat and a puppy on the street.

I'll take a look at Turna.

Hello, Kamil?

Cengiz.

Have Sule come in early tonight.

Ercu Father's friend is coming.

He specifically asked for yours.

Well, thank you.

Who is this respectable customer?

Like you'd know him if I told you.

Incompatible Necmi.

Why do they call him incompatible?

Stop questioning, Just come in early.

Okay, okay, hang up.

What did Cengiz say to you, my girl?

Didn't I tell you you'll shake Istanbul in your panties?

Look, I found a fucking private client on the first day.

I don't want to.

What the fuck do you mean you don't want to?

I'm not working today, I'm busy.

What are you doing, girl?

What the hell are you doing?

Who do you know huh? Who are you with?

Cengiz

Please.

There's no such thing.

What the fuck is it like?

Uh, what's it like?

Talk, woman.

That's enough!

Enough!

Let go of me.

Uh-oh, crazy.

I'm a fucking maniac.

I'm a fucking maniac, you just figured it out?

Get the fuck out of here.

You're gonna do what you're doing with me.

Here we go.

eave my side for a minute or two, and see what I can do to you.

Yes, Mrs. Shule.

What's the direction?

To pavilion.

Where are we going?

Say it.

I thought I'd go shopping after all this months.

I went out on the street for a breath.

Sule should always work.

We're going to the pavilion.

I have to get ready for the evening anyway.

Look, you're screwed.

The chips are down.

Fuck your excuses, your attitude.

I need to get my costumes.

Turna's real name is Melek Akcay,

The other teacher told me when we went to Bandirma.

The kid was treated badly by his mother and her lover.

They were torturing her.

She's got bruises all over her.

My sister couldn't leave her there when she found out about the kid.

Here, take a look.

But is it up to her to protect someone else's child?

Let's just say she couldn't leave her

She should have gone to the police.

Then his mother would have tortured her more.

So my sister Zeynep did the right thing?

So what are we gonna do?

Turna, come on, tell your grandma you're here.

Okay.

So we're just gonna hide them and join them in their crimes?

Enough.

We're not hiding anyone.

I don't want to talk about this anymore.

I'm home.

Welcome.

We're home.

What can I get you, bird?

Honey.

I missed you so much, why don't you come?

Ah, beautiful, here you go.

Good for you.

I'll pass.

What's up girl?

You don't like the fruit or you don't like me?

I get it.

Here you go.

Put a smile on your face.

It suits you.

What's with the face?

I shut down the pavilion, you're gonna frown all night?

Where are you going?

I'll deal with her.

Don't worry about it.

Relax, you haven't been here in days.

I'm here but look at that.

I missed you.

What the hell did you do to get off the table?

He's waiting, girl.

I went out for a breath.

Fuck your taking breaths.

There's no fucking air in there?

Come on, don't drive me crazy.

Too much homework?

The teacher said she'll look tomorrow.

I know you've worked so hard on this picture.

But I glued it.

Well, I'll do it again.

Don't be sad, okay?

Your grandmother and aunts love you very much.

I can't write.

I'm sorry.

You're my sweetheart.

How could you do such a thing?

When I found Turna, she was dying.

I couldn't leave her like that.

You wanted to help her.

It was to protect her from her mother.

You should have gone to the police.

You should've applied for social services.

I tried.

They didn't believe us, they told us to prove it.

So you kidnapped her?

I can't condone such a crime, Zeynep.

Tomorrow we'll pick up Turna right away.

And take her to his mother.

I can't, Mom.

You'll do it.

When you think rationally

You'll understand how wrong this is.

I know it hurts your conscience.

You want to protect her, I understand that.

But Zeynep

The world is full of unfortunate children like Turna.

You can't take them all and look after them one after another.

That's not how you get justice.

Maybe you saw your childhood in Turna.

You felt close to her.

That's not gonna happen.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Don't apologize, Zeynep.

I'm not trying to justify myself.

I know I committed a crime.

Maybe I'm a fool to you.

Neither the sense of justice in me

Nor do I think Trane is like me.

So why did you do it?

Why would you do that?

I just...

I've decided to be the mother of that child.

Are you listening to yourself, Zeynep?

That's child theft.

Do you have any idea what this is going to cost?

I know, I know.

But I've risked everything.

Turna is my daughter,

I'm her mother.

And I'm your mother.

I need to think about Gamze and Duru as much as I think about you.

You're right.

I should never have come here, I don't want anyone to get in trouble because of me.

Is that what I just said?

I'm trying to protect you...

Mother, disown me.

Disown me.

That way, even if it gets bigger,

You can't be harmed because we don't have family ties.

When we delete it from the records

You think this is gonna end?

What about our family?

Duru worships you, you know that?

Ever since she was a kid, she's been running after you saying sister sister.

She's still protecting you.

So is Gamze.

She's the most emotional kid we've ever had, even if she doesn't show it.

And she's pregnant.

You're my

daughter, Zeynep.

For twenty five years

I was your mother.

You can't trade that child for our family.

That would be ingratitude.

Tomorrow, Turna

Melek

You'll give her to his mother.

Can I have some cheese, baby?

It's not like that.

You'll feed me.

Can I have some grapes, too?

You're so sexy.

You're not gonna get wasted here.

Get up from there.

Get up.

Manager

Don't Iet anyone in the room.

I've got some work to do.

Yes, sir.

What fucking room?

What's he talking about?

What you mean easy?

Let's go.

What?

Come on.

Walk where?

Come on.

What the hell?

Do what I'm saying, woman, come on.

Go.

For God's sake, let me go.

I'm telling you, I'm not going.

What do you mean, go?

Who the hell are you?

What the fuck did you do?

Get her the fuck out of here!

Who the fuck are you throwing away, huh?

Sign these.

Lock them up.

We gave our statement.

We're not running away, let us go.

Come on, don't talk, get up.

Bro, when do we go out?

You're here tonight, that's for sure, whenever the D.A. calls.

Fuck.

Look, we're not late, no one's in yet.

Turna.

Turna.

You're all right, aren't you?

I'm fine, Mommy.

You have a lunchbox but

Here's your allowance.

If you want something, take it from the canteen.

Okay, thank you.

Mom, Melis is playing games, can I go too?

I love you so much, Mom.

Honey.

I love you too, sweetheart.

Let me look at you.

I love you too.

Come on, have a good day at school.

Go be with your friends.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'm leaving.

Without breakfast?

I'll pick something up on the way.

Bye. - Goodbye.

Asiye, will you get my tea?

I'll get it right away.

Did Zeynep leave?

They're gone, ma'am.

Good morning.

One morning I came for your coffee, mother-in-law.

Good morning.

My love.

How did you get in?

Duru, Duru opened the door.

Oh, good, you're here by surprise.

You had a doctor's check yesterday, and I was worried about you and the baby.

I-I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'll make your coffee.

What's wrong with Gamze?

Is there a problem, Mrs. Cahide?

Come on, let's talk about this. Come on.

What did you do that my daughter loved you?

What did you do that your name was written here?

I don't know her very well. I was in classes for a little while.

I'm a substitute teacher.

She didn't know her at all.

She didn't know her.

I'll show you to not know.

Yesterday's bagel, you'll be fine.

I don't want it.

I want to make a phone call.

That doesn't just happen, you wait.

What do you mean, wait?

Don't I have the right to make a phone call?

I said you'll wait.

I'll wait.

My love, I made the coffee just the way you wanted it, low sugar.

Darling, there's something wrong with the baby, your mother told me.

I found out yesterday.

But I was going to tell you.

Honey, this is our problem, our baby.

We can work this out together.

I'm his father, you're not alone.

Mert's right.

You're not alone.

But you're right, you made the right decision.

As a result

His illness will be a burden on us.

You can't have him on purpose.

It's best to have the baby aborted.

Is that my new favorites book?

Look, this is my treasure.

Things I like.

To my mother.

Dear Mother,

I love you, Mom.

I wrote a letter for you, read it.

I made a bookmark for you.

Use it.

You like reading books, don't you?

I loved all the things you cooked.

We had so much fun making omelets.

I memorized the recipe.

Next time

I'm not gonna drop the shell inside it.

When I take a bath

we were so surprised

To see bubbles flying around

Just like

an ice cream shop.

Now I can wash my own hair.

It was fun shopping at the market.

I can shop by myself now.

When I buy something for fifteen liras

I'll give twenty liras.

The change will be five liras.

I'll put the money back carefully.

I loved going to school.

I became friends with Melis, Hale and Alara.

I can do a lot of things myself.

I can buy a bus ticket by myself.

First look to the left, then to the right.

I can cross carefully.

I can sleep alone at night.

I won't have bad dreams, but if I do, I won't be afraid.

I'll be fine on my own.

When I grow up, I'll get my hair cut like you.

I'll dress like you.

I'll look like you.

I'll be strong.

Thanks for being my mom, Mom.

I love you so much, Mom.

I'll love you forever.

You're my sweetheart.

Turna Gunes.

Turna.

Hello?

Look here.

What, why are you yelling?

I said I wanted to make a phone call. How long am I gonna be here?

So I can't make a phone call?

I told you to wait.

What do you mean, wait?

What the hell am I waiting for? Did I kill a man?

Why are you treating me like this?

I told you I'd make a phone call.

God damn it.

All right, all right, all right.

Are you opening it?

Enough.

Just shut up.

God damn you!

Easy, easy, easy.

Let's go, let's go.

I have to go.

-Go. - When do I get out, huh?

I said move.

Tell me something. When do I get out?

And the water became a cloud.

Turna, isn't Turna here?

No, Turna didn't show up for school today, and I thought you knew.

Melis.

I'm here.

Melis.

You played games this morning with Turna, and then she didn't go to class?

I saw her this morning, but she didn't show up for class.

Miss Zeynep, is there something wrong? Can I help you?

No, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Here you go.

Thank you.

- All power to your elbow. - Thank you.

Thanks.

Turna.

Turna.

What happened?

Isn't Turna here?

You freaked me out, why would Turna be here, she's not at school?

No, not at school.

Where is she?

She's gone.

She had a notebook when she was in Bandirma.

To forget her pain, her bad memories

She wrote about the things she loved, the things she liked.

Ah, it turns out she's been writing a notebook here, too.

She wasn't happy with me, how could I not know?

Why should she be unhappy child? Why do you say such things?

I don't know why she left out of the blue.

Yesterday, Sule called.

Who's Sule?

Her mother.

Turna picked up the phone, and when my family heard her calling her "Mom," it got messy.

Turna was very upset, of course.

She didn't say anything when I dropped her off at school.

I love you so much, Mom.

Honey.

I love you too, sweetheart.

Let me look at you.

I love you too.

That's why she hugged me like that.

That's why she hugged me like that.

How could I not understand?

And then when I got home, I found her letter.

What letter?

She left me a letter.

She said goodbye.

After I read it, I ran to school, and when she wasn't there,

I came here to see if she had come to you.

Wait, wait, we'll figure it out, wait.

I don't know where she has gone, what has she done?

When we took her to that school, we took her to a park.

She picked flowers or something, she loved it there, so let's take a look there.

Dude, don't rattle.

Oh, thank God.

What the fuck?

You gave us a corny bagel.

And the tea is from yesterday. Are you fucking with me?

Watch your mouth, this isn't a hotel.

It is what it is, whether you eat it or not.

What the hell?

You'll make your prisoner eat the properly.

Call your fucking superior, come on.

Look at me, get down, get down.

I'm not fucking sitting down.

What are you gonna do, man? What are you gonna do?

You're talking too much, shut up.

Who the fuck are you?

You didn't let me sleep you ***

Who the fuck are you swearing at?

Who are you swearing at, man? - Hey, hey, hey.

- I'll fucking kill you. - Stop.

Break it up!

Let go, I'll fucking burn it!

I'll fuck you all up.

Let me go, I'll fucking kill him.

Excuse me?

Have you seen a girl here? She's got school clothes.

Seven years old, red backpack.

I haven't seen her, we've been here a while.

Turna.

What are you doing, ma'am?

You scared the hell out of the kid.

I'm sorry.

Well, I'm sorry, but our daughter, who's about this tall, has a school gown, and she's missing.

Ah, did you lose her?

I didn't see her. Did you go to the police station?

Thank you.

Excuse me.

A girl who fit your description fell off a slide this morning, I think she was alone.

Where did they take her?

They took her to that hospital down there.

Come on, come on.

My Gamze.

Are you sure you want to do this?

It's a decision that can't be undone.

Mom, didn't you hear Mert?

He doesn't want the baby.

Let it be as soon as possible, then I'll be at peace.

What are you talking about, girl?

We're talking about your baby.

Would you look at the color of that chair? Would you put it in your house?

If you feel anything for the baby in your belly..

Mom.

How am I supposed to feel about a baby I don't know if he's gonna live or not?

Doesn't it hurt at all?

Don't you feel any pain?

A little bit.

A little bit?

After I got my hair done at the salon.

As much as getting caught in the rain.

Miss Gamze

Come on, let's get you inside.

We need to run a test for anesthesia.

Gamze.

I'll call the doctor and let you know.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

They brought a girl here, she fell in the park, she was seven.

She's wearing school clothes.

Oh, you mean the girl who fell off a slide in the park and hurt her eyebrow.

She's out.

How did she get out? Where did she go?

We've done the treatment.

She left with her mother, I think her name was Deniz.

No need to worry, it was nothing serious.

Imagine where you've been.

We had dinner recently, pasta, melted ice cream.

I wonder if she'd go there, she was happy.

Come on, let's have a look.

Here you go.

I wonder what he's like.

Who?

Turna's mother.

Why do you ask?

Maybe she is like me.

She's selfish like me,

The one who doesn't love her child,

Someone who doesn't want her child.

That's not who you are.

Then why am I so scared, Mom?

Why am I still so confused?

You're worried about your baby.

Because you're already his mother.

Gamze.

Gamze.

Gamze, baby.

Mom, I'm a terrible person.

I'm so selfish.

I'm not a good person, Mom.

Does my baby love someone who doesn't want her, Mom?

Tell me mom, does he want me?

Oh, my dear.

My dear girl.

Welcome.

You can send her.

Okay.

Come on, you're good to go.

The prosecutor has asked for your release.

They dropped the complaint.

Your guy couldn't get out.

He's gonna be here for a while.

Gengiz?

He made a scene this morning, another one opened before one case was closed.

Here's your stuff.
