I have no idea

what fantasy you're living in,

but nobody here seems to grasp

the gravity of the situation because

Are you really trying

to make him reset your head?

I don't know, dammit. I don't know!

Do you have any idea

how hard it is living with this?

I'll cut off my head

so Viktor can do experiments.

Seriously, how are you different

from the AEI?

Listen to what you're saying!

Don't compare Plus 1 to the AEI.

That's shameful!

But I followed you around all this time

because you said you'd help us,

giving hope to everybody!

All that's all been bullshit!

You lied to me and used me to find Özgür.

And you don't

really care about helping us.

So how are you different from the AEI?

I don't care about helping, huh?

I ruined the best years

of my life helping!

If I hadn't been involved,

none of this would have happened!

Derya would still be alive right now!

[tense music playing]

Okay, Murat.

You got it figured out.

Just wash your hands of everything.

But you could at least get out of the way

of the people who actually

want to help us survive.

Do you know who

the jabberer Viktor brought in is?

Haluk.

He got me jabbering.

You need to listen to me.

That guy is extremely dangerous.

So maybe I am selfish. Maybe.

But I lost someone I loved once.

And I can't let that happen again.

There are things that are

bigger than

both of us.

This is more important.

Before my colleagues interrogate you,

Fazıl wants to hear you out.

I know you.

On TV.

I have to say, I'm a fan.

Although, there's nothing else to watch.

- Your son

- [door hinge creaks]

[man clears throat]

Now, tell us where he is.

- [camera beeps]

- [shutter clicks]

[chuckles, clears throat]

- [camera beeps]

- [shutter clicks]

Fazıl, by any chance,

do you have children of your own?

[ominous music playing]

[Emel murmurs]

So, I'm sure you'll understand very well.

- I would never sell out my son.

- [Anton chuckles]

[Emel] So, tell the gentleman,

if you please,

I wouldn't want him to waste his breath.

And I don't want

to take too much of your time.

You seem otherwise quite engaged.

Give the woman 24 hours to think it over.

If she's still reluctant to talk,

force it out of her.

As you command, then, Fazıl.

Tell me,

is it possible to call to a lawyer?

Can we still do that?

Dead, jabbering, or alive.

Put those words on it.

[door opens]

- [camera beeps]

- [shutter clicks]

What are the photos for?

I don't want anyone near that woman.

Understood?

[Anton sighs]

[eerie ambient music playing]

[panting]

[gasps]

[music distorts]

[music halts]

[gasps softly]

[gasping]

[panting]

[high voice] Are you really serious

about trying to get your head reset?

No

[panting]

[gasps]

sh*t!

sh*t!

Detox?

[chuckles]

An a*s-kissing apology.

For our unsanctioned lab trip.

Want some?

Wow!

I mean, I never thought

that I'd see Haluk ever again.

Seeing him in a jumpsuit

made me feel really weird.

The guy survived the fire, man.

Those romantic fools. I'm telling you.

They have no idea what

they've gotten themselves into.

Something I couldn't figure out

from the start.

The other jabberers,

they have no control

over their impulses to speak.

It's like they want

to spread the jabbering.

How can he stay so calm and quiet?

Your reset hypothesis is making sense now.

We already know that there are differences

depending on how long ago

you were exposed.

If Haluk was one of the first

to get infected

He was also speaking

endlessly at some point.

[Özgür] Mm-hmm.

So, just like rewriting

instructions on paper.

The process hypothesis.

That makes sense.

But we never had enough information

to build a solid hypothesis.

I mean, why does it begin?

How does it proceed like that?

Take Behzat, for example.

Oh, he's a special case.

Stuck in Purgatory, unable to slip away.

[tense ambient music playing]

[sighs]

What if there's something

that makes Haluk unique?

What if there's something

about you that's unique?

Whatever could that possibly be?

What is wrong with us?

I think we're doing alright. [chuckles]

We got interrupted.

You'll You'll deal with my head, right?

Sure. We'll deal with it.

- How would you like your head? Here or

- Özgür.

[laughs]

It'll take more

than a few CAT scans, obviously.

But we'll have a look at it.

After all, it's a masterpiece.

A masterpiece?

I just want to get rid of it.

All right, all right, Murat!

Okay, but is it really so awful? Huh?

Is it your head or yourself?

Because the skull I saw yesterday

looked amazing to me, Murat.

How can you say that to me?

None of you have any idea

what I've been through.

Believe me, it made my n*pples hard

just thinking about the potential

of the skull I saw yesterday.

If I had your skull,

I could work miracles.

Does that mean you've decided to help me?

[scoffs] All right!

I'll do it.

I swear. I'll think about it,

work on it, I promise.

However, there's an ancient

pharmacologist saying

"Treat the cause, not the side effects."

[laughing]

All right, I promise you we'll find a way,

press a button, and poof, make it go away.

[whirring]

Aren't you even going to taste

the strawberries I grew on the balcony?

Those strawberries were a pain.

I leave it outside, it gets cold,

I take it inside, it withers.

I jumped through hoops to get it right.

You'll figure it out, baby. You will.

Stop worrying about it.

[soft ambient music playing]

Well, the guy talked about love,

and made promises he didn't keep,

then lied to you.

And you gave him

a piece of your mind in return.

That man deserved worse.

[sighs]

He fooled me all the same.

I'm frustrated.

"You are that which you seek

and chase after."

So,

have you considered

what you're looking for?

I'm just looking for that

cipher key book right now.

The Kocaeli memorial is coming up

and I'm afraid the Hawk Wing

is up to something.

It's not one of these, either.

I have something to show you.

Look, take a look at this.

See, it's got two blossoms. [gasps]

I'll find a good spot for it, yep.

For Engin.

Don't worry about it.

Let's head out. I'd like you to meet Can.

He'll tell you the program.

All the details.

And, sir, what are you going

to do with this?

[ominous music playing]

Hold this.

Makbule. Arif.

There's an address here.

I need to get rid of that Haydar parasite.

[Özgür] Good morning.

She's got a great smile.

Yeah, she does.

That woman's my everything.

I'm head over heels in love with her.

And she is with me.

Though she needs time

to come to terms with things.

Especially in the morning.

Obviously, she loves you.

I'm gonna go speak to Şule.

[Murat inhales sharply]

We have to talk.

Drink this. It's for your nerves.

[sighs]

[Haydar] Why Anton and not Kadir?

What do you care, Haydar?

Mind your own business.

Someone matching his description

has been spotted at this address.

This came through the tip line.

You can stay here. I'll follow up on this.

Listen up, we're rolling out.

[radio chirps]

[man on radio] Copy that. Suiting up.

[tense music playing]

[indistinct jabbering]

[murmuring unintelligibly]

[tense music swells]

[gasps]

DEAD, JABBERING, OR ALIVE

[distant siren wailing]

[people clamoring in background]

[indistinct radio chatter]

You go that way.

You guys check out those buildings.

You're with me, Anton.

[pounding on door]

- Who are you?

- Anton Tarakçı, AEI.

I'm looking for Murat.

Let's just go inside.

[Arif] Murat who?

- It's okay. Just take it easy.

- What's going on?

What the hell?

[indistinct radio chatter]

I don't have much time.

Murat Siyavuş. That's why I'm here.

- We don't know who that is.

- His mother's in custody.

What? Emel's been arrested?

Please, there's nothing to worry about.

Emel's doing fine.

I'm just here to help her and Murat.

- So, I need to know where Murat is.

- Sit down.

Arif, that's your name?

Mm-hm.

I really need your help.

I need you to deliver an important message

to Murat as soon as possible.

Nothing else.

Fine, I'll help you.

But I want something in return from you.

Name it.

Back at the old central station,

I want those agents' names and addresses.

Give me that info, and I can help you.

Are you planning something?

[soft piano music playing]

It's personal.

[Behzat yells] Awakening!

What the hell?

- [continues yelling]

- [rumbling]

Oh, this one's sick!

He has his comings and goings.

[laughs nervously]

[knocking on door]

sh*t.

- Arif.

- You know what I want from you.

- [knocking on door]

- [soldier] AEI! Open up!

Fine. Deal.

Stay quiet, I got this.

[knocking on door]

[soldier] Open up!

- Stop knocking. We're all clear.

- [soldier] We heard noises.

I came to check it.

Come on. Let's move, let's move.

[woman yelling indistinctly]

[ominous music playing]

What is it?

Some lunatic, randomly screaming.

Hey, look at me.

I don't know what you're trying to do.

Just watch yourself.

[music fades]

[indistinct chatter]

Have a good one, dearie.

This is a great system you have.

Donations for the victims

of Kocaeli, right?

Well done.

[Aslı] Suzan!

- Wonderful to see you.

- Thank you for the welcome.

It's really empowering to have you here.

I don't know if you remember,

but I'm Aslı.

We've met. We visited you

at your home to pay our respects.

We had lots of visitors.

I'm sure we probably met.

Aslı, Grandma Suzan is really exhausted.

Why would I be exhausted? We just arrived.

[whispers] Help me!

Let me get you something to drink.

It'd be a breather for you, right?

- We could have a chat.

- Yeah, this room is really cold.

[woman] I'll take that.

Let's go to my room.

- It's not so cold.

- [Suzan murmurs]

Right, I'm fine with that.

- [whispers] Just play along. Move it.

- All right, all right.

We'd like to get some results, Suzan.

Writing petitions

to the AEI liaison's office every week

for a rally permit is not the way to go.

We have to do things

to get their attention.

We have to strike them where it hurts.

Would you like a strawberry, dear?

[Aslı] No, thank you.

Do you agree with me on this?

I mean, your support

would mean a lot to us.

- And if Engin were still

- Aslı.

Have one of those strawberries.

They're good.

Please, try one.

[suspenseful music playing]

You know what they say.

The sun rises without discrimination.

But roses and carcasses smell different.

Sour, perhaps?

- Mm-hmm.

- Here, try this.

I think this one's better. Here.

Never forget that in life,

you should smile at everybody.

You'll find the earth

to your flower eventually.

Think I'll have one myself.

- [drawer squeaks]

- [coughing]

- [continues coughing]

- Suzan?

- [Suzan] Please forgive me!

- [Aslı] Are you okay?

- Went down the wrong way!

- Suzan? Suzan!

Are you okay?

[Aslı] Would you like some water?

Are you okay?

Whoa! Hang in there. Hang in there.

[coughs]

[groaning]

[spits]

You okay?

I'm okay.

Let's get some fresh air.

No more strawberries for you.

[Suzan strains]

She didn't even give me a glass of water.

So, what was that?

Ah, my cat Dakota invented that trick.

Do whatever's necessary.

I mean

Can you believe that b*tch?

She didn't like my strawberries.

[both laugh]

- I found it thanks to you.

- Ah, you're welcome.

Ah. Here's the special guest

of the Kocaeli broadcast, Suzan,

and the creator of the show, Can.

Welcome, Suzan.

Thank you.

Right. I should give you the rundown

of what I'd like to talk to you about.

Sounds good. Mm-hm.

[emotional string music playing]

- Right, I'll be there to pick you up.

- Okay, Şule.

If you're going to start ranting about

how dangerous that jabberer is,

save your breath.

- I've got more important

- Şule.

Şule, what?

The Hawk Wing's planning sh*t.

Nobody knows what they're up to yet.

I'm telling everybody

that there'll be a rally,

to give them hope.

But I'm not sure now.

You lied to me.

You said you would help, but you left.

You lied to me.

- You expect me to help you?

- Şule.

They took my mother.

[knocking on door]

AEI

GUARD ROSTER

Anton sent me to give this to you.

All right. All right.

This will find its way to Murat,

don't worry.

Well, being so close with you guys,

this is an unusual situation for me.

You're on official duty now.

I signed your papers. You're reinstated.

You seem lost in thought lately.

The Insignias of Merit.

Oh, the appointments.

The very ground I'm walking on

is falling away, Haydar.

I know you have a lot on your mind.

[sighs]

I don't know about tomorrow,

but I'm not moving out anywhere soon.

Not yet.

That's a wonderful privilege, huh?

The chance to decide for yourself

how your life will be written.

Let's not lose that ability. Okay, Haydar?

Keep an eye out.

Dead, jabbering, or alive.

What the f*ck?

Who'd do something like that?

I can't believe this.

Now you understand why we're fighting.

You could eliminate the very reason

the AEI exists in the first place.

Can you now understand

why I want to get rid

of this g*dd*mn skull of mine?

Because I'd rather survive this

than fight against these people.

[Murat breathing rapidly]

Maybe it'd be better if I called them,

made contact somehow.

Or if I turn myself in.

If something happens to her

You're playing into their hands right now.

'Cause they might just be playing games.

And if it's really true,

then I'm sure we can find another way.

Stay calm.

Stay calm?

Seriously? Calm down?

Do you see that photo of her?

I do!

But I've also seen how

that head of yours works.

Giving up without a fight? Really?

You think they'll let your mother go

even if you turn yourself in?

You've given up on yourself

to the point that

you can no longer see things clearly.

- They've got Emel.

- And that's exactly why I came.

A guy called Anton

came by today. He's AEI.

He asked me to deliver this.

He said, "I want to help Murat."

Emel's doing fine, he said.

Don't worry about her.

He said he placed the red pine for us.

What's he want?

He wants to meet.

He sent this for us to get in touch.

How can you believe this guy?

I mean, he sent away the squads

that were going to raid us.

The guy seemed like

he was hiding something.

I made sure I wasn't followed here.

Get Makbule

and your dad out of there, Arif.

This could be traced back to you.

But where would I take my dad, man?

I'm not sure.

Give me a minute to think about this.

[soft ambient music playing]

Murat.

You're not alone, okay?

One piece of advice for you.

You have to use your head.

Okay?

DEAD, JABBERING, OR ALIVE

[somber music playing]

[knocking on door]

[indistinct voice on radio]

[distant siren wailing]

Murat.

Come on in.

Derya's dead.

[Murat sniffles]

She started jabbering.

But it was my fault.

She k*lled herself.

[gasps]

[exhales softly]

[Murat exhales sharply]

I can't do this on my own, I can't.

I don't have anywhere else to go.

[sighs]

Do you think I might be able

to stay here with you?

There's so much I

need to say.

I'm here for you, son.

I'm here for you.

The old house.

What the hell are you doing there?

Are you nuts?

Listen, we're going out.

And blow off a little steam.

We'll have a chat too.

Özgür, you guys go ahead.

I won't be joining you.

- I need to be alone.

- What is it? Something happen?

No, it's just

Haluk.

I can't shake the thought of him.

It's like he's calling to me.

Calling to you?

Ah, let's go, Murat.

Let's go! Come on, now!

Look, I'm gonna take you

to an amazing place this time.

Just go on your own.

Hey, let me ask you something.

You remember during the operation

we'd have patients eat stuffed food.

Conscious craniotomy.

Özgür, cut it out.

[laughs] Come on, man, come on.

Just thinking here.

Oh, when my mom

made stuffed food. So good.

the Insignia of Merit is the sign

at the end of the term.

Any bureaucrat who receives

an Insignia has always been promoted

or kept their current positions

[Cevat] I've got a guy

from the lower neighborhood.

He repairs power generators

and brews beer.

Give it a try.

- How are things?

- [cork pops]

Fazıl's put someone

on my tail. Like a tick.

Anyway, despite him,

I got closer to Murat.

I sent him a message.

Waiting for an answer.

Have some roasted chestnuts. Smoking hot.

[emotional string music playing]

News of your family?

Yeah. They're fine.

For now. [sighs]

How long can you keep this going?

I have to remain inside.

I need to keep Murat and my family safe.

Hawk Wing's people already inside.

[sighs]

So, what can we do?

We should proceed

with the rally no matter what.

But we need to get a permit,

even for a group that small.

Also, this Hawk Wing plan,

we need more details about it.

To find a way to keep it from happening.

And prevent violence.

[somber music playing]

[Viktor sighs]

[opera aria playing in background]

We did a background check

on that guy, all right?

No need to worry.

[Yasemin] Uh-huh.

You've seen how that guy thinks.

Trust my gut.

That guy's up to something, I know it.

Murat's gonna cause trouble for us.

Yasemin.

After all this time,

I can see my friend again.

So just let me be.

No trouble will come out of this.

Trust me. [sniffles]

Look, Murat is the talk

of the streets now.

They're swarming

with informants and agents.

- I mean, you gave the gate code to him.

- Yasemin!

Back off. All right?

Back off.

[exhales]

Maybe you're right and it's all fine.

But if it turns out I'm right this time,

this world you've created,

this perfect little reality, will fall.

[Şule] So, you were with our

extremely dangerous subject, huh?

I suppose news travels fast.

But why?

I'm not sure.

[chuckles] Your advice was good.

And it led to him.

No, don't ask me about it.

It's not clear yet.

But I owe you an apology.

I was dishonest.

I'll meet with the guy from the AEI.

You really mean it?

I need to get Mom out of there.

I'm meeting him

to understand what's happening.

Then I'm coming with you.

Please let me go on my own.

But you're gonna need some help.

[soft music playing]

Murat, I'm asking for a miracle.

The rally. You.

All of it.

[sighs]

I found the book.

I deciphered the message.

Aslı and her men are planning

a full-frontal attack on the AEI.

I don't know where,

but I know this will be the end of us

if we can't find a way to stop them.

Murat, this is something important.

Take things slow, Şule.

You got this.

[man] Everything will be ready

for the grand opening of the lab, sir.

[ominous music playing]

Anton.

What is it?

That b*stard

is definitely up to something.

He wouldn't do something stupid

while we have his family.

Murat.

I'm Anton.

Where's my mother?

She's being held by the AEI.

Don't worry, she's unharmed.

Where'd you get these from?

We went to take her in.

I told her that I wanted to help you

escape the AEI.

And she trusted me, so she gave me those.

Well, you could have just taken the pines.

Look, if your mother hadn't explained it,

how would I know how they worked?

Besides, you managed

to avoid me once by using those.

Were you the one chasing me all along?

Yes.

I'm the reason

the AEI's been chasing after you.

I see.

I've been tracking Project X

and your research for a long time now.

That was you inside the supermarket.

That was miraculous what you did there.

But I shared what I knew

with the wrong people.

And now they're coming after you.

Who are they?

Fazıl Eryılmaz and his people.

So what do you want?

I want your trust.

And your blessing for me

to help you escape them.

Tell me. Why would you want to help me?

I have a family too.

They're jabberers,

and I refuse to have them

locked away in some quarantine zone.

It's obvious Fazıl isn't interested

in finding a cure

for all the people

who are still suffering.

But I still believe

there's a cure for this disease.

And you're the living evidence.

Murat.

Help me. I can't do this without you.

Then why are you still working for them?

They have my wife and son.

Your family for me. Is that it?

Listen, it's not that simple.

I won't give you to them.

I-I can get your mother out.

I'll make a plan.

But you need to give me some more time.

That plan is ready,

but we don't have much time.

She'll be out today.

What's that?

[Murat] We're going to get her

but we'll do it my way.

I'm surrendering myself.

What are you saying? Are you nuts?

Turn yourself in for what?

- I've never been this sane.

- [Anton] Wait a minute.

Look, I didn't find you

just so you could go turn yourself in.

Look, Anton.

You wanted to meet, here I am.

You told your story. I listened.

You want me to trust you?

Then trust me first.

No questions asked.

So, what's on your mind?

What do you need?

At 13 minutes to 7:00,

I plan to turn myself in.

Tell them that.

Tell them to be ready.

Thirteen to 7:00?

Yeah.

Why not 7:00?

That's just the way it is.

Go home and wait for me there.

- Murat, what're you doing?

- Şule, just trust me, okay?

Please go home.

[man on TV] The person experiences

mood swings for a few days,

then at the end of that day,

they start jabbering.

[woman] So, what's your take

on this year's candidates

for the Insignia of Merit?

[man] The Insignia is considered

FENTANYL

as the herald of assignments.

Fazıl Eryılmaz, who has played

a great and important role

NALOXONE

in bringing the Institution this far,

is going up against a young,

dynamic, brilliant rival

with an intelligence background.

I think Suat Gürbay

is as remarkable as Fazıl.

[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[buzzer sounds]

[female voice]

Please keep talking to confirm.

Fazıl Eryılmaz.

Marmara Branch Head.

[beeping]

[inaudible]

[ominous music swells]

Keep talking.

Those rookies who have been

deemed worthy of replacing me

see me as a challenge.

But I [scoffs]

still have to convince everybody

that my system works.

This morning you really f*cked me over.

I don't know what you're talking about.

So, Murat called the tip line

and said he'd turn himself in

at 13 minutes to 7:00?

Well, it might be an unfounded tip,

don't you think?

No, I don't.

[woman] Insignia of Merit

for scientific research.

Ali Aydın Başhisarlı.

[applauding]

Congratulations.

Fazıl Eryılmaz.

I want to say,

being nominated is such an honor,

especially since we're up

for the same award.

Any one of us would be eager

to see their efforts pay off, Suat.

You have a bright future ahead of you.

Don't put stock into these awards.

You can only create a future

with your own choices.

[woman] Atilla Karamanoğlu.

[cell phone vibrating]

I'm having a report drawn up on Project X.

Figured if the topic interested you,

then I should educate myself about it.

You reminded me

that I should always be appreciative

of my mentors in this life.

- [continues vibrating]

- Perhaps your inspiration

will help me create that future.

Excuse me.

[woman] And the next Insignia of Merit

is for the Central Anatolian region.

What is it?

[Haydar] We have our missing guy.

What?

It's Murat, Murat Siyavuş.

- He's turned himself in.

- [applause]

Looks like he couldn't bear the isolation.

Where is he now?

Heading downstairs to be interrogated.

You sure you know what you're doing?

I can still get you out of here.

[woman] Insignia of Merit

for the Marmara Branch.

Suat Gürbay.

[loud applause]

[ominous music continues]

[music fades]

[somber music playing]

[sighs]

May I have a glass of water?

[Haydar] Wow, really.

The famous Patient X

is right in front of us.

And such a mama's boy too.

If only we'd known,

we'd have brought her in earlier. Huh?

The time?

[Anton] 6:59.

You got somewhere else to be?

Just waiting.

[ventilator switches on, whirs]

[Murat inhales sharply]

Did you know the ventilation system

inside this building works on a timer?

Just like it did when I was working here.

It circulates fresh air

at specific times of day.

They cause a lot of interference

on our sound recordings,

so we learned the timetable.

That's how we scheduled our recordings.

[fan hissing]

I'm glad to see that it hasn't changed.

- [sniffs]

- What is this?

What the hell are you doing?

[chair clattering]

[Murat grunts]

- [panel beeps]

- [lock clicks]

[gas mask hissing]

[Erol] Here you go.

- [panel beeps]

- [lock clicks]

- [panel beeps]

- [lock clicks]

[Murat] In here. Come on. Mom!

- Mom, are you okay?

- [Emel sighs]

Inhale this. Inhale.

- Inhale.

- [Emel sighs]

Give me that. Give me the mask.

- Okay. I'm here, Mom.

- Murat?

- Okay.

- Murat

[Murat] Okay, breathe in.

It's okay. It's okay.

[energetic music playing]

[Haydar] Murat!

[music intensifies]

[Anton grunts]

[Anton strains]

[Erol] Go on. I'm right behind you.

I'm sorry.

[Anton grunting]

[triumphant harmonica music playing]

1ST FLOOR

[Emel sighs, groans]

[Murat] Mom, are you okay?

- [Emel] Oh, I need a cigarette.

- [Murat] You're okay.

[Emel groans]

[Erol] That's weird.

These guys have passed out too.

[Murat] Erol, did you gas

the entire building?

[Erol] As far as I remember,

the ventilation systems were different.

I thought we only gassed the lower floor.

Wow, did we gas the whole AEI?

[Murat] What do you think, Erol?

[music fades]

LORE - PEST CONTROL

PROFESSIONAL EXTERMINATORS

[soft ambient music playing]

You okay?

[Emel sighs]

[both chuckling]

[Emel laughs]

[Emel sighs]

Um

Do you have any idea

how much these would sell for?

No.

I see, my good sir, Murat.

Glad you're out at last.

[Erol strains]

I'm grateful for it.

Well, look at you. You've really changed.

You should never have forced me

to get off my a*s and out of that chair.

[both laughing]

[laughter continues]

[knocking on door]

[gasps]

You

I'm back.

I told you I had it all under control.

You did.

But you can't

always be sure of that, Murat.

You can't wander off like that

without explaining what your plan is.

It doesn't always go as planned.

I'm speaking from experience.

[soft string music playing]

[Şule] Ah

I've got to go settle

a small matter first.

[Murat takes a deep breath, sighs]

[breathes shakily]

I told you that Anton was up to no good.

See?

- [agents coughing]

- [panel beeps]

I would have shot him down as he ran,

but this b*stard ruined everything!

What else could I have done?

Let this buffoon

send the only person

with a cure for jabbering to oblivion?

- [Haydar] Stop the bullshit!

- It's the truth! Listen to me, dammit!

I had nothing to do with this.

But this idiot

Haydar!

Take him away to his wife and kid.

- Yes, sir!

- [Anton] What?

- Fazıl, you're making a serious mistake.

- Get up, you!

[cell phone vibrating]

Yes?

Murat Siyavuş?

- Patch him through.

- [phone beeps]

You better understand

you won't get away with this.

[Murat] I have some information

that you might be interested in.

Plus 1 is preparing

an enormous attack against the AEI.

Go on, then.

I'd like to share

the details of that information.

- Go ahead.

- But not with you.

I'll tell it to Anton. Wait for my call.

- [call end beep]

- [grumbles]
