-Hello! -Finally I could reach to you Mrs. Zeynep.

-Mr. Ali, is there a problem? -Mrs. Sule was here at the agency.

Why, what did she want?

I don't know, but she knows her daughter's with you.

Even worse, she knows the address to your hotel.

What do you mean, she knows about this place?

I called as soon as I noticed, but your phone was dead.

I couldn't reach the hotel so I called Mrs. Gonul.

She was just coming to warn you.

No, no one's been here.

Is that so? I'm almost there myself.

But there's a traffic jam. You should leave there as soon as you can.

Okay. Okay.

Mommy, tell me what's going on? Is something wrong?

Turna, dear.

She's in Istanbul.

Did you lock the door?

Let me check.

Let's draw the curtains.

Turna. Turna!

Don't be afraid. I am here with you.

I'll protect you, okay?

-Do you know what happened? -Someone got hit by a car.

Somebody call an ambulance!

I called. It is on its way.

-We should call the police. -There's been an accident..

...I'm stuck in this traffic.

Don't get too close. Don't clutter the way.

Stay away, let her breathe.

-Did you call the ambulance? -Did the driver flee?

Get her water. Ma'am, are you all right?

Somebody got any cologne?

Did you call the ambulance?

The ambulance is on its way.

Yeah, our prices include VAT.

How many nights will you stay for?

Hey, look over!

All right, sir, we've got vacancy on those dates.

-Yes. -I was going to ask something

Pardon me.

Yes?

I'm calling from 106, Zeynep Gunes. If anyone asks me, don't inform anyone.

Don't tell anyone I am staying here.

Enough! I was only going to ask one question!

Ma'am, I'm on the phone.

Yes ma'am, I got your note.

Here you go, now.

-Is Teacher Zeynep here? I can't possibly know anyone's name.

Zeynep Gunes.

Zeynep. Gunes. Do you know?

Speak up! Is she here or not?

There's no such person.

How do you know? Do you memorize all of the names?

Check your computer or something.

I can't share our records with anyone.

We don't tell any information about our guests.

Is that so? Then, I'll go knock on doors and find out for myself.

-Ma'am, where are you going? -I will check them myself.

Ma'am, what do you think you're doing? You can't do that.

Ma'am. you can't!

Turna...

-Do you want to go to Mrs. Clumsy? -Yes.

Okay.

Listen, we're gonna play a game now.

Which hospital are you headed?

Beykoz Training Research Hospital

Okay.

The person you called is not available.

Leave a message after the signal.

Hello, Mrs. Zeynep.

Mrs. Gonul had an accident.

We're headed to Beykoz Research Hospital.

Let go of me! Teacher Zeynep!

Where are you?

-Ma'am, please! -You jezebel!

-Let go! -Ma'am, please.

-Ma'am stop... -Let me go, please!

-Ma'am calm down! -Let me go!

-Calm down! -One side!

I'm sorry sir, I'll take handle it right away.

-Stop! -Ma'am wait!

-Stop! -Ma'am you...

Call the police.

Stop!

Calm down, Ms.!

-Don't make a fuss, please. -Hold her.

You're hurting my arms!

-Enough, what's going on man? -Calm down ma'am, stop.

Stop.

-Enough chaos you've caused!. -Don't tell me enough!

Are you crazy! I can't deal with you.

Here! Zeynep's in here. 106.

Look, whatever problems you have, handle it outside, not here!

-Wait for me. -Okay.

It's funny how we swirled down.

-Wait for me. -I'm waiting.

Come, mommy.

Where do we go now?

-Come here. -Okay.

Come on. Let's go.

There it is.

Get out and don't you ever come back here!

Okay damn it!

Dimwit!

You ***** I'll make you pay.

I'll make you pay for kidnapping my daughter.

Mrs. Gonul!

Mrs. Clumsy!

-The lights are off. -Isn't she home?

I guess.

Let's call her.

You have one new message, please press one to listen.

Hello, Mrs. Zeynep, Mrs. Gonul had an accident.

We're headed to Beykoz Research Hospital.

-What's the matter, mommy? -One second, dear.

Hello, Mrs. Zeynep, how are you?

Did you leave the hotel?

Yes, we're okay. How's Mrs. Gonul? It's not anything serious, right?

I just got to the hospital.

Paramedics said it's not vital.

Don't worry.

Okay, we'll be right there.

Did you encounter with Mrs. Sule?

No, we didn't. We'll talk when we get there.

Mommy, what happened to Mrs. Clumsy?

She got a little sick. Come on sweetie we'll visit her.

-Come here. -Mommy you'll make me fall.

I'm thinking but I don't understand

How could you keep something like this from us for years?

Zeynep never felt...

...like she belonged to this family.

If you knew she was adopted...

...she'd feel a lot more alienated.

I couldn't have done that to her.

Mom, you've always thought about her, you didn't care about us.

-What are you talking about, Gamze? -Am I lying?

Haven't you scolded me for years, but not her?

I was traumatized for nothing...

...she's not even my sister.

You know what's worse?

You always took her side, Mom.

You loved her more than your own children.

Don't be silly, Gamze. She is still our sister. Either step or not.

Speak for yourself.

Mom didn't discriminate anyone. Don't have blinders on.

Don't blame my sister with such excuses.

Are you blind?

Your dear sister crossed us out when she got the chance.

No, never.

She didn't want to put us in danger.

Is that why she brought that girl here?

She left us. Even for a kid that isn't hers.

You can go on advocating her, but I'm not on the same page with you.

Do you see what you caused mom?

You didn't protect my sister...

...you didn't ask her to stay here in her home...

...now here we are.

Do you think we're still a family?

You don't have any broken bones.

And we couldn't find any fractures in the skull.

But, you'll be staying in for the night since you had a concussion.

No, I can't stay here.

Mrs. Gonul I have to insist. You'll be our guest for the night.

But if you insist on leaving, you need to sign a paper for your own risk.

Okay, get me whatever it is and I'll sign it.

-Doctor, can I see you a little? -Sure.

-You should consider again. -Okay.

I think you should listen.

They want to keep you because of the concussion.

No, I can't stay.

I don't know how's Turna and Zeynep. They must need me.

I've talked, they're fine.

Is that so?

-Did Turna's mother go to the hotel? -They left without encountering her.

Thankfully.

Thank you God.

Where are they headed now?

Tell them to come.

I need to go to my house, it's locked.

Mrs. Gonul calm down. They are coming here.

Is that so?

Okay, they'll be safe here. Okay, it's better this way.

They'll be right beside me. Okay.

Tell them to come here.

I understand you very well.

And I know why you're concerned about Turna and Mrs. Zeynep.

Because they are in a hardship. Thank you for helping them.

No one would help them like you did. As if you're their mother.

You care about them a lot.

Mrs. Gonul.

I know you're Mrs. Zeynep's mother.

I don't mean to make you or Mrs. Zeynep upset.

I just wanted to know why you are protecting her.

I researched with an occupational curiosity.

Okay.

You found out.

Now forget all of it.

Zeynep cannot know.

But there's this thing.

Why are you hiding the truth away from her?

Because she hates her mother.

From me.

She'd be mad at you at first maybe.

It's hard for her to accept after all these years.

But she'd understand you.

I'm not afraid because of myself.

Because of her...

...I'm afraid because of her.

Why?

Because she has a life...

...a family.

They are already on the outs because of a new life with Turna.

She couldn't bear the burden of the past too.

I can't do this to her.

That's why...

...everything we talked will be our secret forever.

-Mrs. Clumsy! -Turna, cutie pie!

My cutie pie!

-How are you? -I'm okay, I was worried about you.

-Hello. -Hello.

Can we take the little miss outside?

We can't allow kids inside unfortunately

Okay, come on Turna, let's draw something outside.

Get well soon, okay?

Now that you kissed me, I'll recover soon.

Come here.

Come sit.

Can you wait for me here? I need to be with Mrs. Clumsy a little.

You can draw here, you can knock if you need something.

Okay mommy.

The doctor insisted I stay for the night, but there is no need.

-We can leave together. -No, you should stay.

-You can leave tomorrow.

No, I'd be worried about you.

I can rest in my home.

No way. Thanks for thinking about us. Your presence makes me feel stronger.

Oh, don't mention it.

You had an accident..

..an accident on your way to save us.

Yesterday, we were just strangers.

But you held onto us, didn't leave us.

You opened your heart and your home for us.

I don't know how to ever repay you.

I'll be outside.

Hello.

Are you mad at me?

I know, it wasn't pleasant last time.

I'm sorry for what had happened.

Let's make it up.

Sure.

What are you drawing?

A little girl...

sun...

...and some clouds.

Really?

It's a friend, I can call them later.

-Is this okay? -Yes, please make yourself comfortable.

Please sit.

I think you have a little fever.

No, it's because of this. I got hot all over.

When I was little, I used to get sick a lot too.

When I first got out from orphanage..

...must be out of sadness.

My mom used to stay at my bedside whenever I got a fever.

I'd always find her beside me when I woke up.

She used to put her hand on my forehead.

And I used to remember my mother's warm hands.

When I'd opened my eyes she'd smile at me.

She'd say that it'd pass when the morning came.

But she also knew that the fire was inside my soul.

You want some?

All these years I didn't want to be close to anyone.

A kid who's left out by her mom.

I used to think if your mother

doesn't like you, then no one would.

I'm so sorry, I don't know why I keep doing this. I find myself talking...

about my problems when I'm with you. You're the one who is hurt.

Again, I'm sorry.

I, need to drink some water.

Let me get you some.

How's Mrs. Clumsy doing?

She's fine don't worry.

I got her food but she didn't want it.

Turna you can eat if you want.

Okay.

Can we talk?

Okay, I'll be there in a minute.

Mrs. Sule called, I didn't pick up.

-She won't leave us alone. -She'll call again, I need to pick up.

Otherwise, things will be difficult

Is that her?

-Hello. -Sule I...

-...Melek's mother. -Where are you?

I told you to wait, you left.

I can't stay in places like that. I go out whenever I want.

I thought about you after you asked about Mrs. Zeynep.

That's why I called.

Go on...

...what can I do for you?

...have no place to stay in Istanbul.

I need to find Melek.

Okay, where are you. I can pick you up.

Wait there, I'm coming.

What did she say?

She said she needs some place to stay.

She won't give up.

I better go pick her up. She can stay at my place.

I'll keep an eye on her.

We caused you trouble.

I told you I'd help you.

Thank you.

We'll be in touch.

You're welcome. Goodbye.

I was going to buy some water.

Here you go.

I'm a little messy, pardon me.

Are you hungry?

Do you want a sandwich or something else?

I went to the hotel to find her.

She wasn't there.

Or that ***** took my daughter and left before I came.

-Which hotel are you talking about? -The one you...

...jotted down to your notebook. As Mrs. Zeynep.

Yes I know, Mrs. Zeynep was staying there.

Really? Then why did you stare like an idiot when you heard me?

I didn't know about Melek. We could've talked about it.

Even we could've gone there together but you didn't wait.

What else should've I done? She took my daughter, don't you get it?

Mrs. Sule...

...the only thing I know is Mrs. Zeynep left that hotel...

...but I'm not sure if I can find her.

Why can't you, aren't you a journalist?

You can find anyone if you wanted!

Let's say Melek really did run away with Mrs. Zeynep..

...there has to be a reason behind, right?

Why would a little girl run away from her mother?

Who told you about running away?

That woman kidnapped my daughter.

She kidnapped her. You hear me? She took my daughter.

Mommy, don't turn off the lights.

Okay.

Let's draw the curtains too.

...all shut...

...no one can see us this way.

Okay. It's done.

Look, we drew the curtains. No one will see us. I locked the door too.

You don't have to be afraid. Come on.

Do you want me to tell you a fairytale?

Okay.

Once upon a time...

...there was a big green forest with long and old trees.

There lived a small bambi.

The bambi's favorite thing was...

...running in the forest freely...

...and chasing butterflies and birds.

She must've sugared the pill with gifts and then...

...she took my daughter.

Why would she do that?

What could be the reason?

How am I supposed to know?

She must be crazy!

Then go ahead and report her to the police.

They'd search her everywhere.

They'd arrest Mrs. Zeynep in 24-hours.

But if Melek says that she ran away...

...things might get difficult for you.

I researched for a news when your daughter went missing.

The ones at the school, your neighbors...

...were telling interesting stuff..

...about the things happening.

Jesus!

None of their business!

You didn't care about Melek. They even assumed you were beating her.

If what they say is true...

...you going to the police might be a bad idea..

...am I right?

None of your business!

You just find me that woman, that's all.

Mrs. Sule I'm a journalist, not a cop.

If you're that determined, let's go to the station together.

They'll find her quicker than me.

Let's go now so that they can start the search soon enough.

I have a police friend. I'll even talk to the chief, don't worry.

No, I'm not going anywhere. I need some sleep.

Show me where I should sleep and I'll go.

Sure.

You can sleep in the room on the left corner.

-Hello. -Sister...

...how are you doing, I've been worried about you.

We're fine, don't worry. How about you?

We're also fine.

Where are you staying at? A hotel?

No, we're staying at a friend.

That yarn-selling lady's house?

Yes.

Okay, then I'll call you later.

Okay Duru, talk to you later.

Where are you going at this early?

None of your business!

-Tell me. -I'll meet Sarp, okay?

Don't lie to me. I know you're going to meet Zeynep.

Yes, I'm meeting my sister. Do you have anything to say?

You're still calling that woman sister?

Don't you have any pride?

I don't, okay? Do what you want to do, and keep your nose away from my life.

You were always on her side any ways.

And she protected you.

My childhood was ruined because of you!

Don't be ridiculous, no one has done anything to you.

I was guilty no matter what I said or done.

"Don't talk like that Gamze, she's your sister", blah-blah.

No way!

You were coming up with ways to pick on us.

You were always ready to fight.

You were always jealous when she played with me.

Was I jelaous?

Yes!

In fact, she was jealous of me!

She was getting in between even though she knew everyhting.

But you loved to be her puppy anyway.

She loved me.

She even loved you despite your annoying attitude.

Oh yeah? Thank you.

You two become one and bullied me all those years, but enough, okay?

I won't let you make me sad anymore.

You don't have a sister like her anymore. I'm your only sister.

What's going on here? Why are you fighting again?

Whatever.

Ms. Duru is on her way to her beloved sister.

And I was reminding her some of the facts.

...I'll visit my sister.

Fine! Tell her I said hi!

Turna dear, you haven't eaten anything. Please eat this.

You'll be late to school.

My stomach aches.

Your stomach aches?

Is it too much?

Can't I be excused today?

Okay.

I'll talk to your teacher about it.

Aren't you mad?

No, I'm not...

...these can happen.

Come here.

I still can't believe you talked to Zeynep.

Please let's get this over with Gamze.

Mom, don't act like it's not a problem.

Zeynep caused all of us great trouble.

Duru is still after her.

They make you sad. I'm the only one who thinks about you.

But no one thinks about me.

Where does that come from?

Let me remind you, I'm pregnant.

And the baby is sick.

You're still thinking about her but not me.

She left but she's still the topic.

Please don't do this Gamze. I'm not neglecting you.

I got up early today and made a doctor's appointment.

What?

I've called the fetus expert. They'll be expecting us today.

What about Mert?

Do you think he'll back off when he hears about the baby?

Don't worry, we'll talk to him too.

But first, we need to think about the baby's health.

Then we'll manage everything.

Now come on, let's have breakfast.

Come on, honey.

Come on.

They came all the way for that file?

You want some?

Okay, okay Mehmet. Thanks. Bye.

-Drink your coffee and let's go. -To where?

To the station.

You were tired.

Let's go to the station and talk.

They can find her quickly.

You can't, can you?

Because they've already investigating you and Cengiz.

They even hired someone from Ankara only for Melek's file.

He interrogated Cengiz.

And they've been looking for him.

Speaking of him...

...really...

...where's he?

..If the chief is troubled he should..

...check the prison.

Cengiz is imprisoned.

He has got nothing to do with me.

Really?

I don't think he will ever leave you alone.

Listen...

...the chief inspector doesn't want to stop the investigation.

I think he'll interrogate Cengiz again.

What if this time Cengiz tells the truth in order to save himself?

I didn't do anything.

But you didn't hinder Cengiz from doing anything either.

You're not actually here for Melek, are you?

You intended to hide from the police.

You don't know ****.

You think you know but you don't know ****!

You don't know ****.

Maybe...

...but I've made many news similar to your story.

There are so many mothers...

...that while they are trying to survive...

...they don't even realize they are neglecting their kids

I don't blame them.

Maybe they'd be great mothers...

if things were different.

What are you mumbling about!

It seems that Melek was a burden to you.

You neither could protect her from Cengiz nor yourself.

But if Melek...

...is with Mrs. Zeynep and is happy...

...let her stay there.

Then maybe you could protect her this way.

Consider this.

Thankfully.

I thought you'd make me wait forever.

I'm outta here, good luck.

Hey, hey, wait.

What's going on?

You're going on a trip to prison.

How come?

You're arrested.

Shackle him.

There must be a misunderstanding.

What are you talking about?

You let her get away with it! She's the one who hit me!

Why are you arresting me?

Jesus! Wait.

Struggle a little more and I'll report another file for you.

Okay officer, wait please.

Let me call my girl, please.

You can call her in the prison, go.

What are you talking about, Jesus!

So, you did this.

Good for you.

We made this with Mrs. Clumsy.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

What about your coloring books?

Are they complete?

No, they're not.

-Go fetch one, let's do it together. -Okay, you should come with me.

Okay.

Duru, does mom know you're here?

Of course, why would I hide?

I don't want you to be in trouble.

I've made you all upset.

No matter what, you're still my sister.

No one can change that.

I'm always by your side.

If I were in your shoes, would you let me down?

-But this is complicated. -Doesn't matter.

You're my sister.

Thank you.

How's mom doing, is she fine?

Meh, kind of but she tries to hide it.

Gamze...

How's she?

She changed her mind about the abortion.

Really?

For now, of course. You can never be sure.

It's not an easy call..

...but I think she'll turn up to be a great mother.

I hope so.

Duru...

...while you're here, can I go and check Mrs. Gonul...

...can you take care of Turna?

-Of course, go ahead. -Okay, thank you.

Sister...

...who is...

...that woman?

Turna loved her, you always come here..

...did you know her before?

We've met her when we came here.

She is alone, has no one.

Okay, if you trust her then it's fine.

I trust her.

We're here!

Wow your pencils are cool! Look at all the colors!

Turna honey..

...I'm going to visit Mrs. Clumsy...

-...can you stay with your auntie? -Sure.

-...but be quick, okay? -Okay, I'll be quick.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye, sister.

I see you're leaving, Mrs. Gonul.

You told me to stay one night..

...I stayed, and I'm fine..

...enough resting for me.

I understand you got bored, but I can't leave you.

I requested consultation from another doctor friend.

Why?

I'm alright.

There are some complications on your test results...

...I wanted Mr. Omer had a look at them.

Okay, let me leave, I'll come back later...

...you can do your tests then, let me go home now.

Mrs. Gonul, don't keep this at bay.

Because the test shows that your liver is at risk.

Dr. Omer.

I'm trusting you with her.

Alright.

Hello Mrs. Gonul, how are you?

I'm alright.

I want to leave.

You want to but first we need to run some detailed tests.

We'll keep you as our guest for some time.

Because you can't leave before this results turn back to normal.

But I'm fine.

Now, Mrs. Gonul.

...we're assuming that you have cirrhosis onset.

Cirrhosis...

...I never smoke nor drink.

These are not the only cause for this.

It's a very vital disease...

...in some cases even liver transplant may be needed.

Transplant?

I'm running the tests as soon as possible to detect the disease.

I understand.

Okay, do what you need to do.

Doctor, can I ask you a favor?

Can this stay in between us? Don't tell anyone about this, okay?

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Good morning.

-These are for you! -Oh, they're so pretty, thank you.

How are you doing?

Is everything fine, Mrs. Gonul can leave today, right?

Of course, but they said I should stay in a little while.

Why?

Is there a problem?

No, no problem.

They are just checking up.

-It's not about the accident, right? -No, it's not about it.

The nurse will be right here to get some blood.

Okay.

Have a nice day.

-I've brought you some clothes. -Oh, thank you so much.

So pretty.

I've had these for days, thank you.

Come, have a seat.

Come.

I'm fine too, thankfully Mrs. Zehra.

Oh dear, I've missed you too.

Melek...

...she's fine...

.fine...

We'll visit you.

Yes I'm sick of Bandirma, yes...

I'll let you know, okay?

Okay...

..okay, tell everyone I said hi.

Goodbye.

Going somewhere?

What's it to you?

Tell me if you'll help me or not.

I'll help you, but...

...I don't know your intentions.

Are you intending to find Melek or run away?

I need to see my daughter.

Why don't you understand?

I get that...

...but after that...

..are you going to take her?

All I want is to see Melek.

She must've missed me.

My daughter adores me.
