The last thing I want to do is hurt you.

But I can't. I told you before.

I told you once I held her hand, I could never leave her again.

She's my daughter.

I raised her in my heart, not in my stomach.

You understand, don't you?

understand perfectly.

No one understands you better than I do.

But you're doing something illegal.

What will you do when the police come to your door, Zeynep?

Don't you ever think about the end?

I've thought about it, Mom, I've thought about everything.

I'll take my daughter and go abroad.

She has a mother, Zeynep.

It's not the same.

You can't have her by taking away

or paying money.

Didn't you pay for me?

I will never give up my daughter.

Just like you didn't give up on me.

gave up on you, Zeynep.

No, sister, you're not going to sign this.

Duru, please.

Mom, how could you do this to my sister?

Sometimes one has to give up

on the ones they love.

It's the right thing to do.

gave up your sister to protect our family.

Turna, come on.

What?

Now that my sister won't be your child for signing this,

is that what you're telling me mom?

Is that even possible?

Thank you very much,

because you're my mother.

You're the best mother a child could ever have.

Girls, please, I love you both so much, okay?

Don't be too hard on my mom, she's right.

Why do you say that like we'll never see each other again?

Turna, come on.

Good evening.

I'm Lieutenant Sinan Demir.

My I speak to Zeynep Günes?

You're the best mother a child could ever have.

Girls, please, I love you both so much, okay?

Don't be too hard on my mom, she's right.

Why do talk like we'll never see each other again?

Turna, come on.

Good evening.

I'm Lieutenant Sinan Demir.

May I speak to Zeynep Güne?

Can you come for a second?

Mrs. Cahide, good evening.

Sorry to bother you at this hour.

But we need to see your daughter, Miss Zeynep.

We couldn't find her in her address, so we came here.

Well, come on in, don't get cold, please.

Zeynep, the commissioner wants to see you.

Miss Zeynep.

It's about an investigation.

We need some information from you.

Can you come with us to the station?

Can I ask what this is about?

About a shooting in Çengelköy two days ago, Mrs. Cahide.

So what does my daughter have to do with it?

Mrs. Cahide, in terms of the secrecy of the investigation,

It wouldn't be right to give you such information.

Just a few questions.

We'll get some information.

from Miss Zeynep.

Miss Zeynep.

We can leave if you're ready.

But, Mr. Sinan

My daughter being taken to the police station, like a criminal.

It's unnecessary.

She doesn't have a record.

There is nothing to.

...run away and hide.

If you'll excuse me, she'll come to the station tomorrow morning and testify.

A Zeynep Abla, is Turna here too?

Who's Turna?

Turna is my daughter.

Mr. Sinan, like I just said,

She'll come to the station first thing in the morning and testify.

I'm hoping you'll take my word for it.

Miss Zeynep, I'll wait for you at the police station tomorrow morning.

Of course, I'll be there.

Mrs. Cahide, good evening.

I'm glad to see you again.

Thank you very much.

Did you get scared, huh?

I didn't, Mom.

You didn't get scared, did you?

Mom, Mommy

Asiye, go and get some lemonade.

Oh, Sarp, you almost ruined everything.

Your other arm.

This was exactly what I was saying.

I knew this would come to this.

What are you going to do now, Zeynep?

We'll take care of ourselves.

I'm so sorry I upset you.

And I won't be bothering you again.

All right, girl.

You're on your own now.

Mom, what does that mean, you're on you own?

Please don't leave like this.

Duru, we'll talk later.

Mom, I don't know you anymore.

Tell me, is what you're doing normal?

All these years, you've been hiding that my sister was adopted,

Then you said it, and now, you're disowning her.

Do you know what you've put us through, Mom?

You disowned my sister,

What are we suppossed to do?

Is she just your kid?

Isn't she our sister?

Isn't she the one who we slept together, and shared our problems, Mom?

Now tell me what we should do--

Duru, that's enough!

Can't you see that it's hard for Mom, too?

I can't stay any longer, Mom.

I'm going with my sister.

Move, Sarp!

Are you cold?

Oh, you're so cold.

That'll keep you warm.

Mom, aren't you going to be cold?

Moms don't get cold when their kids aren't cold, honey.

That's what my mother used to say.

Nothing bad's gonna happen, right?

I'll do my best for it.

Come on, let's go.

We'll find a cab outside the apartment complex.

I think so, too.

Let's go now or you'll get cold too, Mom.

Look, there's one. Come on.

Sister.

What are you doing in here?

I'm coming with you.

Duru, please, I can't put you in danger.

It's normal for me to be with you..

...if you're in danger.

I can't leave you alone in these difficulttimes.

Come on.

Mr. Ali called.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Come on, Turna

Necmi says hello from jail.

He said he'd show who's unstable.

Are you still here?

There's nothing you can do right now

Go home and get some rest.

What if he opens his eyes and asks for me?

Then we'll let you know right away.

Look, you've had surgery, too.

You shouldn't be in a hospital environment. You might get infected.

Now please go home.

I'll just curl up over there.

No, Ms. §ule.

You'll be better off at home,

Escort the lady out.

It's probably Mr. Ali.

Welcome, Ali, go ahead.

Turna, let's take a look at Tombi.

Did he eat, huh?

The police have your name, Miss Zeynep.

You have to be very careful.

I know, they came to my mother's house.

That's what I was afraid of.

What about Turna?

Did they see her?

Can we go into the kitchen?

I don't want Turna to hear.

Is Zeynep Güne married?

She's got a kid.

Based on our information, she's not.

But maybe she's divorced.

Investigate her husband.

Maybe he has something to do with them.

What he does, who he hangs out with.

Where does he go, I want to know it all.

Yes, sir.

This Zeynep Güne.

Wasn't she was a little nervous?

You're gonna make a good cop.

When you're testifying,

Give short answers.

Don't get excited.

If they suspect you,

They'll get a court order for your phone call history

Maybe someone saw you leave the scene?

I don't know.

I don't remember.

Miss Zeynep, you've come this far.

You need to be stronger from now on

For now, it's best not to leave the house,

until Turna's passport is ready.

It's not just the police,

ule is still a threat for you too.

It's late, I'll be going.

Mom, how many times have I told you,

I lost track of my daughter,

and I don't know where she is.

How can you say that?

It's not a stone, not a land, not a road.

It' a kid.

How can you lose track of your kid?

And who's that girl?

How many times have I told you?

We've met when she came to the store.

And her name is Zeynep...

So, just because her name is Zeynep,

You treat her like your daughter, huh?

You didn't just make me lose a son,

you also made me lose a grandchild too.

Just look away.

Can you do that in the afterlife too?

Mom, how much longer are you going to..

It's a good thing you lost track of her.

If only she could front you,

How would you be able to look at her?

How are you going to say?

I killed your father.

Is Turna asleep?

I made us some tea.

Are you okay?

I think I'm scared, Duru

What am I going to tell that cop tomorrow?

What if someone saw me?

Maybe they found my fingerprints.

I don't know what they're going to ask.

Even if I knew, I can't lie, they'd know

What if that cop finds out I'm lying?

If he finds out, he'll arrest you.

That's what my mom said.

I'm scared too.

Okay, I love turna so much, too.

I want her to stay with you, with us.

But she can't, if you get arrested.

Maybe you'll get mad at me.

But if Turna went to the police station,

said that she was lost,

Then the problem would be solved.

Then they can't arrest you.

That's not the problem.

I'm not afraid of getting arrested.

I don't want Turna to go back that hell.

I'm afraid of that.

I'm afraid I'll never see Turna again.

Even when I go out, I miss her.

Sometimes when I wake up,

I see that her arms are on me.

I know it sounds stupid, but I get happy.

I don't think it's stupid.

If you feel that way,

about a child you didn't give birth to,

What her mother did was stupid.

What ule did is stupid.

What your real mother did is stupid.

I mean, how could anyone leave you?

Do you remember the time she left you?

Did my mom know her?

I mean, you said mom gave her money

What money?

I found out later, too.

Mom gave her money.

How did you find out?

Did you see her?

Twenty four years later,

She showed up.

She showed up and said she's your mother?

She didn't say anything, I got it.

How did you feel?

How did I feel?

I've hated that woman my whole life.

But when we met,

I don't know.

It's a little different.

Maybe it's the blood.

But it's not love.

Sometimes I think about it.

wonder if my mom,

when he saw us with that woman,

'Cause I wonder sometimes,

Does Turna love ule more?

I love you the most, Mom.

You, more than anyone.

I have a mother,

And that's you.

I love you so much, too.

Why did you wake up, huh?

Damn your battery.

Have a good rest.

You didn't pay for last night.

Where are you going?

Well, I'm not running away.

You can't leave here without paying.

guess you're not staying tonight.

All right, that's a lot of tattling, man.

Can you give me a fiver there?

I will buy a bagel, I'm hungry.

Here, have a cup of tea from me.

Hello, I'm Zeynep Güne.

I'm calling about my passport.

You can't ask for a passport on the phone.

What passport?

Just hang up.

That's not something to talk on the phone.

It's not ready yet.

We'll let you know.

Good morning, sis.

Ah, good morning,

I was just leaving, writing you a note.

You're leaving?

Isn't it early?

I want to get back as soon as possible.

Call me if anything happens.

Don't worry about it.

Everything's gonna be okay, I know it.

You're leaving?

Yes, darling, I'm leaving.

Mom, can I show you something before?

Show me what?

with Aunt Duru,

We painted you a picture.

Can I look at it when I come back?

Well, all right, okay.

Can I show you one more thing?

What's that?

You know I have a blonde baby.

I made a ponytail for her.

It's not loose, it's tight.

Well done, sweetheart.

You know, Tombik looks beautiful now.

Let's watch it a little bit, shall we?

Let me tell you something.

I'll look at it all when I get back.

Okay, I promise.

Now, let me get a kiss.

Mom, don't go.

Don't be like that.

Come on, I'll be right back.

No, no, don't go.

They won't let you go.

Oh, sweetheart.

They'll let me go.

I'll give a statement and come back.

They're gonna ask a few questions.

If so, they wouldn't let me go last night.

What did the police say?

He said to come by tomorrow.

Have I ever lied to you?

You believe me, don't you?

Then let's wipe our tears.

We shouldn't be suspicious until we leave.

We're leaving, aren't we, Mom?

We'll go, we'll go to warm places.

Now give Mommy a big hug.

You know I love you so much, right?

Never forget that.

I love you too.

Let's wipe our tears.

If you cry, I can't leave.

Come on, eat something.

You'reI hungry.

You should've built a bathroom downstairs.

Don't touch me.

Come on, Mom.

For God's sake, don't.

Why did you kill my baby?

Whenever he was in trouble,

He would call out for me first.

Tell me, Gönül,

Did he say "mom" before he died?

Did he wait for her mom...

to save him?

Did he get mad at me?

I didn't make it.

I didn't make it.

Why are you crying?

Now let me ask you.

Does it hurt a lot?

Sometimes, life becomes too hard.

It's like you're crushed under it.

It's like you'll never get away.

Sometimes you can't.

You just disappear like me.

Let's get in. You're in a thin sweater.

Don't cry.

If I knew what happened before them,

I could have interfered earlier.

Things would never come to this.

I wish you'd called me.

Well, Honestly,

When Mert didn't want to involve you..

Thanks to my son.

He would never let me be upsed.

Look, Mrs. Cahide.

I'll be honest with you.

This can't be changed now.

And I'm just learning that.

Gamze is pregnant.

As someone with a daughter,

I don't know how you would react, but...

When I found out, I was devastated.

What's done is done.

What's important now is what comes next.

But it's not a piece of cake.

You know, we have a reputation.

I can't explain this kind of separation,

three days before the wedding.

Let's have a wedding,

Let them get married,

They'll get divorced if they want to.

I cant't believe it.

Is that what you think?

Do you know why they broke up?

Of course, because of Gamze's whinings.

Look, I like Gamze.

But you need to be able to handle a man.

Isn't that right, Mrs. Cahide?

I think you should talk knowing that..

...there are things you don't know.

What don't I know?

Gamze gave Mert the ring back,because.

He wanted her to have an abortion.

Why would he want that?

There is a chance that..

the baby might be born sick.

Gamze tried to convince Mert but...

said he didn't want the child.

Well, my son was right, Mrs. Cahide.

How can you say such a thing?

There's a chance that the baby's not sick.

Obviously, you're reacting emotionally.

But I've always look at things rationally.

My son is just like me.

It won't be a breakup if we get together.

I'm afraid we look at things differently.

It's impossible for us to understand you.

Is that your final word?

Then I won't bother you any more.

As you wish.

Don't let anything bad happen to my mom.

She's a good person.

Do her a favor.

Don't let the cops put my mom in jail.

I'll never be naughty again, Lord.

What are you doing here all by yourself?

Come on in, let's sit together, huh?
