01x08 - My name doesn't matter

[bunniefuu]

I was read.

I was erased.

I was written.

We have reports

that many of the AEI top brass

were inside the building,

including Suat Gürbay,

the prospective chief

for the coming session at Marmara branch.

Preliminary reports indicate

it is likely that everyone inside is lost

I say good for them!

What are you talking about?

It's nothing to celebrate.

Shut up! Be quiet!

to make a statement.

I'm speechless.

Simply speechless.

We will bring swift justice

upon these traitors,

who, terrified of progress

and a brighter future,

set their sights on our new laboratory

and demolished it.

This was to be our flagship

against the disease.

They will receive

the most severe punishment.

We know they'll pin this on us.

How could you gamble with that information

for someone you didn't even know?

And who did you ask

before you used that information?

I'm sorry. I went too far, I see that.

But I was out of options.

I had to be sure

you could stage that rally.

Anton needed my help,

so I couldn't abandon him.

I'm not blaming you

for the expl*si*n, Murat.

It's obvious who's responsible.

But it won't stop here.

These people are too dangerous.

Did you give them anything on Plus 1?

Evidence, documents, anything?

Do they even need it?

Hey, listen to me, Murat.

I see you trying to figure out everything

all by yourself.

When you first stepped into

the sixth zone, I asked you for something.

Remember?

You can make us whole, Murat.

We need you.

But you have to work with us.

Will you join our team and help us?

It's not that difficult.

All hell will break loose.

So I must get my family someplace safer.

How about Viktor's hospital?

They treat the jabberers

as humanely as possible

and care for them. Okay?

I'll talk to them for you.

They're safer in the quarantine zone

until all the dust settles.

But thanks anyway.

My mother has to be moved somewhere.

Armutlu.

I can't believe I'm even

saying this to you,

but right now that's probably

the only safe spot for them in the city.

We can take your mother there.

Aren't outsiders prohibited?

If you know the right people

and aren't bringing along a jabberer,

then yeah.

But how?

I'll arrange it.

What about you?

What are you gonna do?

Fazıl's gonna be

after you by now, you know.

I know.

There's nowhere to run, Murat.

You know that, don't you?

It's time to fight.

You've got to be willing to fight them.

That's the best thing you can do

to find a cure for the disease.

A thorough

investigation is being

Wow, this is bad. Shh. Calm down.

It's okay. Yeah? Don't worry.

Everything's under control. Please. Shh.

One minute. Yeah?

This is bad. This is bad. This is bad.

This is very bad. This is bad.

This is very bad!

- Özgür.

- Huh?

Hm?

but officials still

haven't made any kind of statement

about the perpetrators

Did you change the code?

Of course I did.

What'd you expect?

You see what's going on?

Something's very wrong, Murat.

It means we're in danger.

You're also in danger, but don't worry.

- I gotta ask you some questions.

- Don't worry, man.

Because I've got it up here.

If sh*t hits the fan,

we've got everything

we need to live here, Murat.

But Özgür, I can't keep hiding anymore.

What's this about now?

What are you talking about?

We'll be dead.

Being dead's my specialty, Murat.

And this is my tomb.

Like Tutankhamen's f*cking cat!

Let us die together, Murat.

We'll resurface once everything settles.

What did you do?

Are you serious?

Murat, have you been watching the news?

It's a nightmare.

See what's happening?

I am looking.

Yet I'm wondering the same thing.

And seeing Haluk made me wanna

ask myself that question all over again.

What did you do to me, Özgür?

We have some kind of connection,

Haluk and I.

He used body language to communicate.

That's the first time

I've seen a jabberer act like that before.

Now, you tell me.

What did you do?

I made you untouchable.

So what else do you want from me, dammit?

Tell me what happened to me.

What happened?

Well, I don't know, Murat! I don't know!

You wanna know the truth?

Ask Haluk.

Wait, what do you mean?

Just f*ck off, Murat.

So you tried this on others?

I saw it after the scans with Viktor.

Don't ask.

Özgür, I'm begging you.

What is it?

It can't just be about

my f*cking treatment!

What do you think?

I couldn't achieve this result

with anybody else.

Look, it's about your combination

with Haluk. Understand me?

Happy now?

Hmm?

Maybe I'm not the person

to reset your head.

Oh, we have other issues now.

No, no. We're only transferring

the fourth quarantine zone to the fifth.

Mm-hm. It's one zone now.

The zone is clear.

We'll declare it a safe zone.

That's our agenda. Thank you.

Taken care of?

Waiting for your orders.

Everything's set.

Just waiting for your call.

Wow, Emel.

What happened around here?

- Don't get me started.

- Oh, dear Lord.

When I heard you were arrested,

I was at my wits' end.

My stomach was in knots.

But how did he save you?

Oh, that's a long story.

Your son's become quite the dark horse.

Yes. Intelligent but like a machine.

That's the issue.

I heard that Özgür's alive.

Could he help my boy?

Let's make you comfortable first.

Come now, come now.

Let's go, son.

Let's go, Behzat. Come.

Behzat, right this way.

Engaged in deep conversation?

Özgür tried to help other patents.

But he failed.

His treatment didn't work

on anyone but me.

Is it Haluk or is it me that's special?

Blank slate. The reset hypothesis.

Written pages, you know?

With the mind.

Exposure to jabbering,

it's like your mind is a piece of paper

being gradually erased from bottom to top.

That's what we based

the jabbering levels on.

But eventually it gets completely erased.

We never would have imagined

that it could be rewritten.

Until you saw Haluk.

I was dreaming of him

like he was inside my head.

As a scientist, do you think it's possible

we can communicate between our dreams?

So what are these dreams like?

I see him staring at me

on the edge of a forest.

On some plains too.

It doesn't make sense. Never mind.

It's entirely possible that,

as a scientist,

you may find this irrelevant.

However,

Yusuf, our jabberer merchant,

he found Haluk on the edge of a forest.

Say again?

He saw him standing idly

on the edge of a forest in Bolu.

How should I say

I guess I mean, that reality,

in the conventional sense,

is not subject to

the limits of perception.

That it includes

consciousness and science.

So it could be that

whatever we're looking for,

you two have in common.

Evening.

I wasn't able to thank you, man.

It's okay.

m*rder*r!!

Nope.

I'll never get used to that.

Hey, man.

My dad, is there a way to fix him?

We'll see.

What's upsetting him?

Everything.

I wanted to see if you're alright.

Come in.

- Şule, there's something I want to

- Before the AEI makes a move

We need to leave Istanbul at once.

I need to get my mother

and the others to Armutlu.

Armutlu?

How?

They'll be safe there.

Anton has a contact.

Until things settle down,

I want you to go to Armutlu with them.

Tomorrow, we'll warn everybody

and temporarily disband Plus 1.

We can leave here tomorrow night

if we can make sure everyone's safe.

But we leave here together.

Şule, maybe I should go alone.

Anybody I get close to

gets ruined eventually.

No, wait a minute.

It's best if I'm alone.

Wait a minute. Wait.

Are you serious?

All those who've died.

Plus everyone who's in danger right now.

You have to finish this.

Please don't give up.

You're not alone.

I know, despite everything,

we'll find a way through this.

Feel your inner strength. Right here.

You've no other choice.

Hear me?

That's all we can do.

We have to finish it.

My condolences, Fazıl.

It's a miracle that you weren't inside

and that you survived the expl*si*n.

It really is.

Considering the time you already

spent serving the Marmara branch,

the council had made the decision

to replace you with Suat.

Alas, he's no longer with us.

Yes, it's very sad.

In such a time of crisis,

the Marmara branch

cannot be entrusted to someone

who lacks experience.

Therefore, we would like to ask you

to resume your position.

I am willing to make the sacrifices

necessary to keep us safe.

But I need authority over Marmara

from the council.

Allow me to eliminate

those traitors on your behalf.

All those we lost,

they deserve vengeance.

Full authority?

Yes. Burn it to the ground.

After yesterday's bombing attack,

a state of emergency has been declared

throughout the Marmara region.

Entering or leaving Istanbul

will be under strict surveillance.

Additionally, there is a curfew

that will now be enforced

for all local residents

in every district after 9:30 p.m.

KOCAELİ MONUMEN

ZONE 6

Thanks to the efforts

of our intelligence,

we have identified the perpetrators

- Aslı!

- of the treacherous attack.

Unfortunately, the people responsible

for that villainous act,

exploiting the soft spots of the people,

taking advantage of our goodwill,

are the members

of the organization known as Plus 1.

An attack of this magnitude,

in a time when we are so close

to finding a cure for this disease,

is proof enough that this organization

thrives on violence.

The perpetrators will be caught

and punished as quickly as possible.

Everyone should keep in mind

that I will not compromise

with our enemies.

Anyone who foolishly tries

to set the terms

under the false pretense

that they are negotiating with us,

and tries to discredit us,

will feel the full force of the AEI,

even if they run

to the very edges of the earth.

Start packing. You have to go now.

Where are we going?

I don't have time to explain. Armutlu.

Armutlu?

It's safer for you there.

Well, we have Behzat with us.

He'll be fine. He's not a jabberer.

And you're doing what?

We need to warn everyone at Plus 1.

Then we'll see what happens.

I'm coming too.

Father.

See you in Armutlu, all right?

Get up. Let's go get packed.

Again, all citizens

must be searched

Do not leave your homes.

Starting at 9:30 p.m

We're all set.

Awaiting your orders, sir.

I need Murat

and the Plus 1 leaders left alive.

As you command.

Proceed.

We should make a declaration right now.

People have to know

we weren't behind the attack

and the AEI is exploiting this situation.

That won't do anything to help us.

Disband and go underground.

Why should we run? We have to resist.

We should try and explain ourselves.

They're going to attack us.

- They're trying to save face.

- Hey!

Aslı's right.

You've all have seen

what's happening out there.

It's a trap.

They're setting us up. It's all arranged.

Everybody should

get out of here immediately.

They're preparing for a huge operation.

We must leave the sixth zone.

We can go to the university.

They wouldn't plan

something like that.

They know the people support us.

We won't sit idly by

while Fazıl's men come to arrest us.

We have to go right now.

Arif! Arif!

Come out now!

Show yourself!

m*rder*r!!

Arif! Şule.

- Arif!

- Easy now.

- Stay back.

- Arif!

Arif!

Open your eyes, Arif!

- Easy now. Easy now.

- Stay back!

Stay back!

Can you hear me? Arif, look at me.

Arif!

Arif. Stay with me.

I'll take that.

That's a nasty wound.

Do you know any doctors nearby?

Yes, but we need to drive there quickly.

Arif, hang in there.

We're almost there. It's okay, Arif.

Sipsi!

Sipsi!

Get out here!

Kemal, please, don't do this.

The car's already covered in blood.

The kid is dying, you as*h*le! Come on!

The Kabataş hospital is hell right now.

They won't let you in.

We brought three people with Sipsi's van.

AEI TV

Can you take us to the other side

of the Golden Horn?

Come on, the van is over there.

Easy, careful with him.

- You're going to get me in trouble.

- Shut up.

Wanna know who paid a visit

to Maksudi today?

I'll give you a hint.

His name sounds like the person

cracking down on the sixth zone.

Fazıl Eryılmaz.

Fine, now for the real bombshell.

Guess what he asked Maksudi.

To hand over your friend, Murat.

See?

See?

I bought us a little time.

For now.

However, it won't be long

before it reaches a point

where we're unable to deal with it.

Think about it.

Grab him, grab him, grab him.

Be careful. Be careful.

Set him over there. Here.

Okay.

We've got it.

Arif?

Good luck to you all.

Thank you.

We've not forgotten Kocaeli.

Arif. Arif, hang on.

Arif, hang on, we're here.

Arif, stay with me.

Özgür.

Open the door.

The kid's gonna die out here.

I'm begging you.

Özgür!

You hear me?

Özgür, open the door!

I'm begging you, open it!

The kid's gonna die out here,

can't you see?

Apply pressure with this. Press down hard.

Murat.

This is all I can do.

He needs a doctor.

The b*llet needs to be taken out.

We need to get him over to Viktor.

Yeah, but they'll be looking for us.

Hang in there, Arif.

You're gonna be alright.

We'll leave when you're ready.

I see.

Uh-huh. Copy that.

What's wrong?

We have a change of plans, everyone.

You need to wait here a little longer.

Wait till you hear from me.

How is he?

- So I just spoke to Anton.

- Shh.

Keep it

He's coming to help us get to Viktor's.

Did you tell Erol what's happening?

I did, but Arif needs to get better

before we take him on a boat.

A phone call?

So, that bandage is soaked with blood.

I'll get him a new one.

Thank you.

Özgür, you may have saved that kid's life.

Dude, you deliver this kid

right into my house?

We were out of options.

Then you're the most

desperate person I've met.

But Istanbul's not safe.

Anyway, we'll be leaving soon.

Why don't you come with us?

So you've chosen a side, then.

I'm not playing a game with you.

Who's talking about sides here?

I can't just watch everything

crumble from afar.

I guess you're still the same guy.

Aren't you, Hot Skull?

Murat?

Anton's at the door with an AEI ambulance.

Arif's fever is getting higher.

Think about it, won't you?

We'll have everything ready soon.

what I initially said

Over here! Over here!

AMBULANCE

Hurry up! Hurry up, now!

Let's go.

He's badly wounded.

You here for something?

We got stuck here

in the commotion.

I'm waiting for Viktor here to repay me.

So is this the hospital you mentioned?

Is this place still an option?

We did all we could.

However, I can't be sure.

Arif's condition is critical.

Murat

What is it?

Thought we'd leave here without you?

You wouldn't, right?

I made my dad a promise.

I told him I'd save him.

How naive.

Shh.

Nothing's over yet.

Don't exhaust yourself.

Just get some rest.

Where is he?

ZONE 6

The kid.

Here.

Murat.

I'm here, Arif.

I don't want to die yet.

Arif

Oh God!

Arif?

Arif!

Arif! Arif! Son!

Arif!

You don't wanna speak to me?

Come on, talk.

Let's go. Tell me.

What are you gonna show me?

I said let's hear it!

Let's hear it!

Go ahead, tell me!

What made you jabber me?

You wanted my attention?

Speak!

Just say something, won't you? Say it!

Say it.

Just talk.

Get him talking.

Maksudi say anything?

Nothing yet.

REMEMBER KOCAELİ

I know that some of you

don't really know me.

I'm Murat Siyavuş.

I'm a linguist.

I used to work for the AEI.

I'm one of the masterminds

behind Project X.

But I'm not sure if that's something

to be proud of any more right now.

I have an immunity to the disease.

I mean, when I'm exposed to jabbering,

my head heats up.

My fever increases, but

I'm not a jabberer.

That's my secret.

That's why the AEI's after me.

That's why I was contacted by Plus 1.

The laboratory expl*si*n,

anything going on

out there on the streets

Arif's death, they're all on me.

Şule asked me to be part of the team

when I first came looking for Özgür

in the sixth zone.

But I made the choice

to run away from all that.

I wanted my skull back to normal.

I had my reasons,

my justifications, you know

But I acted selfishly.

And yet,

I still have hope despite everything.

I am now part of this w*r

that I have ignited.

Fighting with everything I am.

And whatever I can do.

I'll give my life for it.

But I can't do this alone.

I need you at my side.

Are you with me?

I stand with you.

Count me in.

Me too.

We're with you.

So, what do you want us to do?

What's the plan?

Anton, you'll be

our contact inside the city.

You'll ensure the safety

of those who remain.

Aslı, you're in charge

of the safety of everyone in Plus 1.

You need to make sure

all of our friends disappear for a while.

The rest of us can't stay here.

We will leave Istanbul.

Lay low until the storm dies down.

So we can come back

and gather the strength to fight.

They won't get away

with what they've done here.

I promise you.

Can you broadcast this on the radio

for me once we've all left town?

Absolutely.

Is it ready?

Then we'll meet you there at ten.

I DON'T WANNA LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND.

SÜTLÜCE AT 10.00 AM.

Have you swept through

the quarantine zones yet?

We have.

That Plus 1 kid. He talked.

You'll escort Emel

along with everyone else to Armutlu.

And then I'll make sure

Murat and the others

make it out of Istanbul safely.

Mm-hm.

Mom, I never meant for this to happen.

I know, Murat, believe me.

We should be going.

Do you want me to make stuffed leaves

for you like when you were a kid?

Don't worry about us, okay?

We'll be alright.

How're we gonna make it out of Istanbul?

Some more of that, if you please, Viktor.

Calm down, Yusuf!

I've got your money right here.

You found Haluk in Bolu.

Yeah, exactly.

He was standing guard

on the edge of a forest.

Can you describe the forest for me?

It was the Seven Lakes area.

Just a standard redwood forest.

The AEI!

They've been spotted on the campus

at the southern entrance.

Erkin, tell everybody

to spread out and run.

That's their best chance of getting away.

- I'll tell everyone.

- We're leaving too.

No, no. We need to get Haluk.

- Huh?

- Just a second.

Anton, you take the service exit.

We'll get Haluk and meet you

at the main gate.

Let's go.

You're sure about this?

Murat. Murat!

Listen to reason.

We can't sit next to him.

He'll make us all into jabberers.

Şule, he has to come with us.

Without Haluk,

we have no chance at a cure for this.

Trust me. It's gonna be fine.

All right, let's go.

- Use this stuff on him.

- Huh?

- Put him under with this!

- Hold on.

No.

- Good?

- Good luck to you all, now.

Buh-bye. I'm leaving.

Out!

Get out!

Move it, come on. Move!

Get out of the vehicle.

Get out!

- Hands in the air!

- Hands in the air!

Exit the vehicle!

Now!

I said hands in the air!

Exit the vehicle!

Words that make

your ears to break.

In my neighborhood making

the coffee of champions for today.

It completes

Stop!

Let's go.

Here. Watch out.

They're jabbering.

Good luck to you!

What the hell was that?

That the guy who got Murat jabbering?

Yeah, that's Haluk.

He's a level six jabberer.

Okay, but they all had headphones.

Yeah, they were wearing headphones.

It's bone conveyance.

You didn't reply to my text.

Arif's dead.

So sorry.

I'm convinced

there's no other way out of this for us.

- But if you team up with us and

- Murat.

- Come with us, and then

- Murat.

I'm not going.

I asked you to choose a side.

But you wouldn't take it seriously.

You chose the wrong side, Hot Skull.

Fazıl, babe.

I arrive with news.

You have to accept it.

AEI

Erol?

Something's not right.

The docks are swarming with agents.

Look, we've been burned.

I'm sending the boat back.

I'll call you back. Wait for me there.

sh*t.

All sea traffic in the Golden Horn

has been blocked, sir.

Watch boats are on alert.

We're in position.

Nothing so far.

How'd they find out?

Özgür.

What do you mean?

Özgür Çağlar?

Özgür Çağlar's alive?

But how could he know what route

we'd take to get out of here?

We just got that information.

I told him.

I didn't want to leave anyone behind.

You're kidding.

Now what do we do?

You mentioned there was

another option for us.

No, you mean Impossible! Too late!

Do it, Erol. I'm asking you. Please.

Son of a b*tch!

I spoiled you

because you know that

customer satisfaction is my top priority.

Hang up. It'll be minute.

Time's an issue.

If only time wasn't an issue.

Hey, where are you?

No one in sight.

They'll be there.

Be patient. I want them alive.

Don't mess this up.

Roger that.

Any word back from my mother?

They've arrived.

They're fine, don't worry.

Looks like the lab isn't an option

for your wife and kid anymore.

Don't worry about my family.

I'll figure it out.

How we doing?

The AEI's chasing after you again.

Happy now?

How much longer, Erol?

I have a problem

with this client's attitude. God!

Any minute, any minute.

On their way now.

Something's wrong.

Haydar!

They're somewhere else.

Two or three miles away

from the pier where you are.

Get over there. Right now!

Move, move, move! Come on!

Have all units move in to surround them.

Yes, sir.

Attention, all units.

We have located the suspects.

So, where is it?

Uh Ah-ha!

There it is!

We're taking that?

You gotta be kidding.

Why is it so wobbly, Erol?

The captain's a little rusty.

- Been a long time since he flew.

- Rusty? Come again?

Little bit.

Good pilot though.

He's just not in total control

of the plane.

Sabiha!

Amelia Earhart, over here man!

They're getting away in a seaplane.

Hurry up!

Roger that. Faster.

Get the patrol boats over there!

I don't want that plane taking off!

Whoo! I've been wanting to do that

for a long time. That was fun.

You got here in 30 minutes, Sabiha.

'Cause I was already by the plane. Lucky!

I was thinking how on earth

we'd we get her out of that place

before the evacuation,

and that's when you called.

What evacuation?

The AEI is transferring

the jabberers somewhere else.

Everyone in the fourth zone's

getting moved to the fifth.

That's where my family is.

We got it from here.

Okay. Godspeed.

Come in, come in.

Welcome, sir. You too.

Şule, come on.

Are you sure it's safe?

I don't wanna start jabbering.

Why are you? Hello!

Why are you standing there?

This is the last call. Get on!

Which one was it?

Yeah.

That's it, Sabiha, babe!

All right, let's go.

Haydar, it's taking off!

Hurry up and catch them!

They're getting away!

Dammit!

Come on, girl. Come on, girl!

Whoo!

So, where to?

- Bolu.

- All right, then.

Bolu? For real?

Yeah, Bolu.

I gave a copy of this to Can.

It'll air on the radio.

Everything that's

going on right now

The expl*si*n at the lab,

they want to pin it on Plus 1.

That demonstration in the plaza

showed them how strong we could be.

And Plus 1 is about people.

It is the future.

We are looking for a cure for this disease

as humanely as possible.

I'd like to play you

a message from someone

who can be a beacon of hope for all of us.

So, please, listen

and tell everyone you know.

My name

Actually, my name doesn't matter.

Those who know my secret

call me Hot Skull.

I'm an urban legend,

forged in the fire of these awful times.

And from this, I can tell you

that this dark era is ending

and leading us to a new hope.

Anyone who needs a reason

to believe in this new possibility

should ask the AEI about me.

Ask Fazıl Eryılmaz about me.

Ask the people on the streets.

Even if you're exposed, you are no longer

condemned to live in the darkness.

Like a crack in a wall,

we are breaking through to find the light.

Between the darkest clouds,

in the smallest cracks in the pavement,

at the edges of the veil

that covers our eyes,

there is a clarity

that no mason can wall off.

You need only to ask

to pierce that veil.

Yesterday, a young man died in this city.

His name was Arif.

He has a father

who's holding his breath underwater.

And if you could hear his cries,

they would break your heart.

They give us

something to fight for now.

A friend of mine

was once trapped in the darkness.

But he saw through the crack in the wall

and shared his light with me.

He said, "If you want to fight,

the best way is to help
