[dramatic music playing]

[Gökhan] Allah, Your wisdom
can't be questioned.


I'm just a servant of Yours.

My mind cannot even comprehend
why things happen the way they do,


or why You want them that way.

There's a reason for everything
You command to happen.


This I know for sure.

Just like Khidr,
I never question Your commands.


Only You know what is evil
and what is good.


And everything that's good comes from You.

Both rewards and punishments
come from You.


You are all-knowing.

You are the designer of our fate.

Without Your command,
not even a leaf falls.


The wind doesn't blow. Water doesn't flow.

You are the creator
of all humanity, of all animals,


of the world, the universe.

Everything exists because of You.

We can't question Your wisdom,
or Your will, or Your word.


[dramatic music continues]

I haven't k*lled anyone.

How any good can come
from that man's death is beyond me.


But I embrace whatever comes from You.

Whether it's life or death, I accept.

MIGHTY - ARROGANCE - GREAT - GRAVE

[distant explosions]

[music stops]

[man] The suspects of the Semavi t*rror1st
group that were previously detained


have now been released
after thorough interrogations


by official law enforcement.

Meanwhile, Gökhan Şahinoğlu, and...

Allah, thank you. They're finally out.

Did you hear that?
Exactly as Semavi said, they're all free.

[chatter on radio stops]

Didn't you hear? Our brothers got out.

Yeah, they got out.

[ominous music playing]

But supporters in the police force
were taken in.

What do you mean?

Look, something's fishy.

Something's going on.

If we have supporters in the police force,
why did they arrest and t*rture followers?

Maybe they had to because they were given
orders to do it. Makes sense, right?

And the chief's suicide?

If he was a supporter,
then why'd he do it?

What's with all of the scrutiny?
What are you trying to get at, huh?

We're stuck down here, Salih.
We're not doing jack sh*t.

-Watch your mouth or I'll f*ck you up...
-Isn't it true, though?

These things are happening,
and we're clueless.

-And no one tells us anything.
-Who exactly do you mean by "no one"?

Is it Semavi that you're questioning? Huh?

-Are you seriously questioning Semavi?
-[Gökhan] Salih...

You're asking for an explanation.

Is that it?

[ominous music continues]

The reason is justice.

The reason is freedom.

The reason is equality.

Listen up, I'm gonna do
what needs to be done.

And while doing that,
I don't have to answer to anyone,

except to Allah.

[Ali Cemal] We don't want you
to answer to us, Semavi.

A lot of things are going on,
and some of them, we don't understand.

Everyone just wants to know
what's going on right now.

Didn't you hear what I said?

What did I tell you?

I told you they'd release
the Semavi supporters.

And then they did. They let them go.

Every single promise
I've made to this day, I've kept!

And I will continue to do the same.

Do you have anything else
to say right now?

Don't worry about the details.

Have faith in me.

And whatever I do,

I do for Allah first,
and then for all of us.

That's exactly the problem, Semavi.

You do things, and we wait.

You act while we just watch.

And all these people, everyone,

they're all here
to walk on Allah's path with you.

But you don't even see us, or hear us.

And you don't include us in anything.

And most of all,
you don't tell us anything anymore.

And If something happened to you,
how would we even know?

That's our real concern, right now.

You didn't have this problem before.

Is it because now
the real fight has begun?

Or are you defying Allah's commands?

Of course not, Semavi.

[Gökhan] The path is hard!

This path is long!
And this path is treacherous!

At the end of this path,
there is both life and there is death!

There is both heaven and there is hell!

I told you this on day one.

Either you walk this path with me,

or you will be left to fend for yourself.

It's your choice.

You've made a mistake.

-[panting]
-[ominous music continues]

[Hakan] What do you mean?
You have a mole on the inside?


DRAGOS WRAPS

-Exactly. Someone very close to him.
-[ominous music fades]

"Very close to him?" Wait, how close?

Close enough they share a bed together.

Do you really think
that his wife is gonna turn him over?

-Couldn't he be setting you up?
-Mm-mm. No.

[tense music playing]

[Merve] You'll get what you want.

I'll hand over Gökhan to you.

-Why's that?
-To protect him, it's the only way.

Isn't it a little late to protect him?

I have my conditions though.

You will only arrest the two of us.

Why you?

Because I'm just as guilty as he is.

If there is a price to pay,
then we'll do it together.

If he's going to prison now, then so am I.

You want to keep your families,
your loved ones and Semavi supporters.

-Everyone out of this?
-Exactly, yeah.

And there's one more thing.

You'll make sure that Gökhan gets
the shortest prison sentence possible.

Young lady...

Listen, you seem like an intelligent
person with common sense.

But really, do you think it's possible
to get away with a short sentence

after throwing the entire country
into such chaos?

It is.

Because you don't know who Gökhan
has been working with on this.

I know that they're using him
and that they've tricked him.

He's a victim, as well.

And they're going to continue what
they're doing with or without Gökhan.

Who are they?

I don't know.

Gökhan said that they were a company.

I've actually seen one of them.

Listen, I'll go find out
who they are for you, okay.

Only, you'll have to accept
my conditions first.

Do we have a deal?

She thinks that Gökhan has a chance if she
hands over the real criminals, you know.

-She's not wrong.
-[tense music fades]

So if Gökhan's just a pawn,
and she exposes the real culprits,

with a solid defense lawyer,
he might get off with only a few years.

[Kara] Mmm.

But... can she actually
find out who they are?

If she loves her husband,
she better find out.

Or they'll see each other
in the afterlife.

You're the only one
in the department I trust.

But let me remind you, okay?
What we've talked about stays between us.

-Hey, come on, boss.
-Hey, don't "come on, boss" me, okay?

Just be very careful, right now.

Can't trust anyone
in the department today.

Especially the newcomers.

What do you mean?

Haven't they been hired
to replace the Semavi supporters?

[Kara] I think those
who were suspended were done so


by Gökhan or those behind him.

The newcomers are
the real Semavi supporters.


JOIN MEETING

[mysterious music playing]

[sighs]

As-salamu alaykum, my brothers.

Alaykumu s-salam, Semavi.

-Congratulations on your new appointments.
-[men] Thank you.

It wasn't easy, getting you
into all these new positions.


But I have no doubt
that you will all honor your role in this,

and you'll all fulfill your duties on
this holy path that we walk together.

Now, if you're ready, let's begin.

We're, going to initiate,
a major uprising.


In all the cities,
across the entire country.


Together with the faithful,

and those who are deprived
of justice, and equality,

who are willing to risk everything
for community and for brotherhood.

-Let's say that your theory's correct.
-[music stops]

That there's some kind
of cyber terror organization

that can pull off an operation
this big in the government.

Are you saying this Merve woman
is the only leverage we have against them?

And what if she gets caught by them?

Or what if she flips and betrays you?

Hakan, you don't need to worry
about that, okay?

Just be careful. And look out for
any new guys on the force. I got the rest.

Hey, my man, I'll take one more tea, okay?

It's hard for me to sneak out like this.

But I'll find a way to send you a message.

I hope so.

Have a good night.

[mysterious music playing]

If you're pulling some kind of stunt,

I'll make you and your husband
regret you were born.

[Gökhan] We will

freeze the system.

Technology, transportation, communication.

Any kind of infrastructure.

-What are you doing?
-Shh.

Huh? Were you spying? On Gökhan?

-Why are you sneaking around?
-Shh. Be quiet?

-Let go! Will you tell me?
-Shut up!

-What's going on? Tell me or I'll scream!
-I said quiet.

Come on!

Life will come to a standstill.

Fear, panic, insecurity.

This will be the fabric of everyday life.

As I said, first, we'll create this chaos.

Then we'll be the ones who end that chaos.

We will be the hope and the salvation

of all humanity.

We're going to boost public support, Adem.

Kübra has used an algorithm
to process personal data pools,

social media data, political predictions
to identify a broad target audience.

Now, using this information,

we'll find those people
who believe in Gökhan,

and we'll simply increase
his public support.

You mean, we'll first
vigorously promote Gökhan

through all networks
of the predetermined audience.

That exactly right. We'll bombard them.

And then we'll give the people
exactly what they want to see in Semavi.

Whether it's him being oppressed,

his poverty, being a veteran,

his good looks,
or whatever people latch onto,

we'll provide it all.

[mysterious music fades]

So then all of this is fake? Everything?

Since the beginning?

Huh?

So we're all are trapped, in here
because of artificial intelligence?

What about all those men they brought in?
They were arrested, beaten, and tortured?

Burak? Burak died because of this?

And Gökhan knew about this all along?

Huh?

How long have you known?

You knew too, didn't you? Huh?

-Did you know?
-I just found out.

If you just found out,
why were you eavesdropping?

Gökhan and I just had a fight.

I want to know what's really happening,
because he hasn't told me anything.

I didn't know what they were doing
or planning, because he tells me nothing.

I thought if I found out,
maybe I could put an end to it somehow.

Look, I really don't know
what to do either.

And I'm extremely worried right now.

For Gökhan, and for us too,
and for everybody here.

How long has Gökhan
been lying to all of us?

I don't know!

Where are you going?
You can't tell anyone about this!

I'm not! I'm just not going to make
the same mistakes I did last time!

-Where are you going, then?
-Let go of me!

Gülcan! Gülcan, please stop!
You can't tell anyone anything about this!

Gülcan, I'm begging you!
Please don't do this!

[ominous music playing]

[music becomes quiet]

What's going on? Didn't I say
nobody's allowed in here till I'm done?

What's going on?
Did I interrupt your secret meeting?

Were you talking with your secret partners
that you've been hiding?

Don't look at her. You don't have
any right to be mad at anyone.

-[dramatic music playing]
-Gökhan, what are you doing?

What the hell do you think
you're doing, huh?

I'm very aware of what I'm doing, Gülcan.
You don't know. Don't jump to conclusions.

Oh, really?

As a matter of fact, I know perfectly well
that you're not the chosen one.

I also know,
I'm standing in front of a complete liar.

-Isn't that enough for me to speak up?
-Gülcan. Gülcan.

Will you calm down?

I'm not gonna calm down.
No, I don't wanna be calm!

I can't be calm when I'm standing in front
of a liar who's ruining people's lives!

Be careful what you say.

What are you gonna do?
You gonna put me in prison? Beat me up?

-Or try to force me to believe your lies?
-Stop. Gülcan.

-Huh?
-Stop it.

You made me believe that father talked
to me from the other side. I believed it!

What are you doing?
What is this? What's possessed you?

You're f*cking up people's lives now!
How could you do this?

The reason all of this happening,
so you can play proph...

[hard slap]

-[panting]
-[dramatic music fades]

I told you to stop.

[Gülcan gasps]

You know that I...

I had put you in our father's place.

I'd say, "Father's gone
but my brother's my rock."

Turns out even a rock can crumble.

It's all right, though.

[breathing deeply]

[vehicle approaching]

[moody music playing]

[Merve] It's hard for me to sneak out.
But I'll find a way to send you a message.


Have a good night.

What are you doing?

[music stops]

[man over radio]
...has been in a state of chronic drought,

though we occasionally
experience serious floods as well.


This can be observed
in the Black Sea region,


and it's a clear sign
of the growing climate crisis.


We're currently at risk
of multiple climate related dangers


occurring in the same exact region.

For example,
right after the earthquake hit last year,


the area was also tragically hit
by severe flooding,


even though this region
was also experiencing a drought.


Unfortunately, this has become
the current reality,


and it appears that it will only continue
to get worse over time.


The Mediterranean, as well as all
of the countries that surround it,


will continue to be severely affected
by ever-increasing climate change.


And of course, in addition
to the droughts and flooding,


there's also heatwaves happening
all across these same...

[song continues with ghostly humming]

[song ends]

-[applause]
-[metallic door opens]

[applause stops]

Father?

How are you?

I'm okay, honey.

Seems like they're doing okay too.
They're having a good time.

They're just bored.

You know how they are in our neighborhood,
they can't help but join in

when they hear a song. [chuckles]

There's something
called "terminal lucidity." Heard of it?

Patients often have a moment of clarity,
right before they pass away.

They'll sit up and start talking
and laughing for a short period of time.

It's kind of like a farewell.

Then suddenly, they just die.

Do you really believe
that there's no hope?

Honey, keep in mind you're asking
this to an isolated man in prison.

And that man is your father.

Did he send you to talk to me?

Don't look at me like that.

Like what?

Like I'm some kind of criminal.

Like I'm the reason you're locked in here.

[heartfelt music playing]

When I was little, you used
to always call me your "smart girl."

[sniffles]

"She'll grow up and get an education.
That girl's going places" you'd say.

I've grown up, but I didn't get
an education or pursue a career.

Are you disappointed in me, Father?

I want you to know, if you ever think
I'm disappointed in you, I could never be.

And besides, I'm very proud
to have you as my daughter.

Soon, you'll be even more proud.

-You were right about one thing, Father.
-Well...

Someone is going to have
to do something, it's true.

That someone is me.

What will you do?

[sniffles]

Whatever I can do
with the least amount of damage.

[heartfelt music continues]

I love you so much, Mom.

[heartfelt music fades]

[ominous music playing]

[music becomes mysterious]

Take care of my mother and brother.

Good care of them. Okay?

Okay.

-[mysterious music continues]
-[crickets chirping]

[music becomes ominous]

[music fades]

[distant chatter]

[groans]

[Dilek] Gökhan!

-Mm.
-[Dilek] Gökhan!

What's going on?

Gökhan! She's gone!

-What's wrong?
-Gülcan's gone!

-What do you mean?
-She's left, gone!

[Gökhan] Where has she gone?

I don't know.
She left these on her pillow. Here. Look!

[Dilek panting]

-"You were right."
-[mysterious music playing]

"All of this was a mistake and I can't
live here like a prisoner anymore."

"I'm not following Semavi anymore.
I'll walk my own path. Goodbye."

[Dilek] She wouldn't k*ll herself,
right? Huh?

-Mom...
-She wouldn't right?

-Mother.
-Right? Son, say something!

WRONG PIN

WRONG PIN

[Gökhan] Anyone seen where Gülcan went?
Does anyone know where she went?

-[Dilek] Has anyone seen her? Huh?
-No. What happened?

-[Gökhan] Isn't there a guard at the door?
-Of course.

Then how did she get out, huh?
I only gave you one job to do!

Semavi, there are a lot of exists.
The guys couldn't possibly guard them all.

Gülcan walks out, and no one sees
her leave? Is that what you're telling me?

-This is a big place.
-How are we gonna keep people safe?

-How will we protect this place?
-I don't know, too many exits.

What if she tries to hurt herself again?
What if that's why she left?

-She wouldn't do that, okay?
-No!

-I'll find her, I promise. It'll be okay.
-Where would she go?

-Sit down. Get water.
-Where would she go?

-Didn't anyone see her?
-I'll find her. It'll be okay.

-Stay calm.
-What are you trying to get at?

Gülcan! Gülcan!

-Have some water. Have some water.
-What are you waiting for?

It'll help you relax. She'll be fine,
don't worry. We'll find her.

[mysterious music continues]

[Gökhan panting]

What happened? Did you find out anything?

Did she say anything to you?
Anything at all?

Nothing.

[cell phone vibrates]

Semavi, the chief.

-Gülcan's missing.
-[Berk] What do you mean?

I mean that she's gone.
And I need to find her.

Wait, calm down,
I'll find her, no problem,

but are you sure
that Gülcan even wants to be found?

Berk, listen,
don't get smart with me, okay.

[Berk] Yeah, okay.
Calm down. Wait a minute.


[Berk clears his throat]

[Gökhan] Forget it, I'll find her.

No way. That's out of the question.

I said that my sister's missing.

It's too dangerous outside,
you can't go out during the day.

[breathing deeply]

You better find a way to handle this,
if not, then I'm going outside.

Wait. I'll scan all
of the surveillance footage for her.

Don't you dare go outside and risk
destroying everything we've worked on.

What if they catch her?
What if something happens to her?

She won't get caught. Kübra will find her.
Give me a little time. By tonight.

Let's meet tonight, okay?

[Berk] Gökhan!

Find her, Berk. Find her.

Wait to hear from me.

[mysterious music continues]

[Gökhan sighs]

So, are you going out?

[breathing deeply]

[mysterious music fades]

You don't have
your cell phone on you, right?

I left it behind.
You're gonna keep asking me?

All right, fine. Okay, okay.

Can you calm down for a change? Huh?

-Look at me, okay?
-Huh?

Remember, I made a promise to you.

From now on,
life is going to be different.

We'll start over with a new life
that's just the two of us.

-[chuckles]
-Do you promise?

Promise. I promise.

[chuckles]

[barks loudly and chuckles]

Okay, baby.

[Serhat sighs giddily]

[Gülcan panting]

[gasps]

Why are you just sitting here?

Get up! Come on! Get up!

Go and look for Gülcan,
find out where she is!

-Didn't you hear me? Come on, get up!
-Stop.

-Your sister is missing!
-I can't go out, Mom.

What do you mean?

It's too risky.

It's too risky?

I'm telling you your sister is missing!
What risk are you talking about right now?

What's Allah say about this?
That it's "risky"?

Does He say
"Stay inside, daytime is too risky"?

Come on, ask Him! Talk to Allah!
Come on! Talk to Him now!

Tell Him to find your sister! Come on!

Come on, ask Him!
Why aren't you asking Him?

What if something terrible
happened to her?

What if she's thinking
of suicide again? Allah!

Oh, Gökhan, what have you
gotten us all into, huh?

What have you done to us!
What have you done to us?

-What have you done to us?
-Mom.

-[gasping] Look at the state we're in!
-Mom...

-I can't even search for my own daughter!
-I promise I'll find her.

-I can't go out!
-Mom.

-I can't even look for my baby!
-I'll find her. I promise I will.

-[sobbing]
-Don't worry, Mom, I'll find her.

I will find her.

What happened?

-Yesterday. Something happened.
-[mysterious music playing]

Clearly something happened yesterday.

She left that note because something
happened yesterday. What happened!

What happened yesterday?

-Um, Mother...
-You stay out of this! Shhh.

You stay out of this.

What happened to Gülcan?

What happened yesterday
that made her leave so suddenly, huh?

Nothing happened.

[Dilek] Oh, really? Nothing?

Listen to me, Gökhan.

On my life, I swear to you.

In the name of Allah, I promise,

if anything happens to even a single hair
on my daughter's head,

I don't care if you're my son,

oh, I'll personally hand you over
to the police! Do you hear me?

[sniffling]

You will bring my daughter
safely back here into my arms.

[mysterious music continues]

[gasps]

Gökhan...

Get out.

Get out, this is because of you!

Get out!

Why don't you just say it?

Why don't you say something?

Say, "It's not me, it's you."
Say, "It's your fault."

-Say, "You hit your sister." Say it!
-How would that change anything?

You'll just yell at me
and kick me out again!

Don't go. [sobbing]

It was me. It's my fault.

I hit her.

I did.

I hit her. I hit her.

She left because of me.

She's gone because of me.

She left me! It was my fault!

-Gökhan...
-I did this!

Gökhan, look at me.

I became way too full of myself.
It's all my fault!

-Hey. It's okay, Gökhan.
-Mine.

You.

You won't leave me, will you?
You won't leave me, will you?

Merve!

No, I won't.
I won't, I'll always be by your side.

Don't go.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. [continues sobbing]

Forgive me. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, forgive me.

I'm so sorry.

[sobs quietly]

Gökhan, it's okay. It's gonna be okay.

[kissing] Calm down, honey.

Okay. Come on.

Sit down.

-Take a seat.
-[sighs]

Look at me. Breathe.
Look at me. Look at me.

It's gonna be okay. Hey, do you hear me?

It'll be okay, we'll be together again.
You, me, and Gülcan.

Everyone. Do you hear me?

Okay, now take a deep breath for me.

[breathing deeply]

Okay. Now, let's think.

What's his name, Berk, right? Berk.
Do you think that he can find Gülcan?

-Do you think he can?
-He can.

-Okay, then we'll meet with him tonight.
-He can.

And we'll discuss what to do next, okay?

Try to stay calm.

[mysterious music fades]

[Hakan] If you know where they are,
then why not... just go in and arrest them?

I need to take Gökhan and everyone
backing him at the same time.

Because if I only capture one, it'll alert
the others. Gökhan's no use to me alone.

-[alert on cell phone]
-It's the ones behind him I care about.

So how long are we gonna wait?

We're not going to.

[dramatic action music playing]

[dramatic action music continues]

[music becomes quiet]

-You brought your most trusted men, right?
-That's right, just as you asked for.

Skilled team with no tech devices.

My guess is more than half the force
will try to shield them. You know, right?

That doesn't matter.

I don't care who's involved,
we're arresting all of them.

-This Semavi saga will be ending tonight.
-[music fades]

[tense music playing]

Gökhan?

What is it?

Gökhan, I really love you.

You know that, right?

I love you too.

Will you love me forever?

Till the end.

[dramatic action music playing]

No one's coming.

They should show up any second now.

[car beeping]

[beeping stops]

Are you sure?

Am I sure?

Am I sure? How about
you check this and see if I'm sure!

[sighs]

[tense music playing]

[Berk gasps]

It was her.

She did it.

Was it you who talked to the police?

Are you kidding? [sighs]

Why?

[tense music continues]

Why?!

[gasps]

I promise, I did it for us, Gökhan.

I did it for you. I swear, I did it
because I thought it would protect us.

-Why else would I do that?
-What is she saying?

Do you think this is Romeo and Juliet?
Are you freaking kidding me?

Gökhan...

You betrayed me tonight.
You f*cking betrayed me tonight!

-Gökhan...
-You betrayed me!

-Gökhan, just listen to me, please.
-Go! You betrayed me.

-[Berk] Gökhan!
-Gökhan...

[Berk] There's no turning back from that.

The path we've chosen
doesn't tolerate mistakes like that.

-Gökhan, hear me out.
-Semavi! There's no coming back from that.

-Do what needs to be done!
