01x01 - Hotter Than The Sun

Post by bunniefuu »

To the elements it came from

Everything will return,

Our bodies to earth, blood to water,

heat to FIRE, breath to air.

They were well born,

they will be well entomb'd.

Welcome, dear viewers.

We will cover violence against women

with Metin Güreli on Sıcak Gündem.

However, I would firstly like to introduce

Assistant Professor Erdal Bilgin

who will be joining us

on this program from now on.

Welcome.

MEZARLIK

GÜNEŞTEN DAHA SICAK

And now

I would like to invite

Captain Önem Özülkü to the microphone.

Femicides

are hate crimes

committed by men against women

based on gender

only because they are women.

While the majority of victims are m*rder*d

by their close relatives,

six out of a thousand of these are k*lled

by their colleagues

or by their acquaintances.

This is so boring.

Yes, the systematic m*rder of women

is boring, you're right.

Mom, you know I'm not talking about that.

Are you really going to read that?

What should I do, Sude?

The police department's PR team

prepared it.

What should I do?

- I'm not keen on it either.

- I wonder what else they've written.

Don't Sude.

"The number of femicides"

compared to 2019

has in 2020

seen a substantial

Decrease.

This is all nonsense.

Nothing is decreasing.

- Oh well, I'm running late for school.

- Sude.

Sude!

As Captain Önem Özülkü noted,

the police have made great progress

in hate crimes against women.

However these accomplishments are only

the beginning compared to the achievements

that will be reached in the special crimes

unit under Captain Önem's command.

- The Special Crimes Unit

- Hello.

will be working seamlessly

- Welcome Captain.

- together with

its dynamic specialized personnel,

a cutting edge lab,

and access to international databases.

Thank you.

Captain?

Hello. I am Önem Özülkü.

- Special crimes u

- Welcome. Follow me.

- Why don't we take the lift?

- It doesn't go down.

Please.

- You are?

- Officer Hasan Duru.

- Are you in SCU?

- It's my 33rd year on the force.

I was assigned to the archives

two years ago.

- I see, you came from archives?

- No. You came to archives.

Don't mind that it says archives.

They call it something else on the force.

Welcome to the Graveyard.

Mr. Haluk is unavailable right now,

he's on the phone.

Yes.

I'll let our Captain know.

Don't you worry sir, my respects.

"Önem, this time everything

will be different.

You'll have all the resources

of the force at your disposal."

Don't forget that I outrank you.

I apologize Mr. Deputy Chief.

You screwed me over real good, sir.

It's the best I could do.

The force does not want to spend more.

Even so, I've sent you

the latest model plasma TV.

Is this a joke to you?

Do you think what I need is

a new plasma TV?

Look.

Phones are ringing non-stop

to congratulate you.

- Good.

- Fine. Right now they're clapping.

But they hope that we'll stumble.

Look Önem.

I took a risk placing you at the head of

a unit that was hard enough to assemble.

- So?

- You're no longer at the district office.

You'll follow the rules here.

I've read the text you gave me.

- Have you?

- Yes I have.

Not all of it.

Don't worry, I was scolded for that.

Look, if I didn't think you could make

a difference, I wouldn't have chosen you.

I just want you to be more diplomatic.

Okay. I'll be more diplomatic.

How can I solve murders

in the archives with

someone waiting to retire?

What do you expect?

Surely not.

I've appointed Serdar to your unit.

Just as I taught you in the past,

I expect you to do the same.

He's expecting you at the crime scene.

At the crime scene

- Serdar.

- Mr. Prosecutor.

Should I congratulate you or

hope that it will pass soon?

Let's not say anything Mr. Prosecutor.

Do you see that female firefighter?

She's carrying more than she can bear.

If she stumbles and falls,

she'll end up hurting herself

as well as others.

- She seems to manage it.

- Now

once the fire is out, yes.

Will she be able to perform as well

when she's completely surrounded by fire?

I'm afraid you'll be

in the same situation.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Prosecutor Gökhan Demirdelen.

I'm on this case.

Glad to meet you.

I need to be at the courthouse.

My clerk is here,

you can share your findings with him.

Of course.

Firefighters receive the call at around

eight in the morning.

They arrive, put out the fire, and find

a fully burnt corpse.

Who owns the factory?

- Have you found out?

- We have.

A businessman.

Bankrupt, fled the country, no trace.

This place was abandoned

and empty for years.

- Was there no groundskeeper?

- No.

And no witnesses.

- No.

- Önem!

Feriha.

Congratulations on the promotion.

I don't know if we can call it a promotion

but thank you anyway.

It's too early to tell the cause

or the time of death.

- I don't have enough data yet.

- Come on!

Come on! What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Go forward! What are you doing, man?

What the hell?

- Come on! Calm down.

- Slow down.

- Calm down!

- Hey!

What's going on? Come on we're all

in the same boat.

Hasan, come on man, I have work to do.

- Come on. Go inside.

- Go on.

They're destroying evidence.

- Are you okay?

- I am.

By the way I'm Berk, I was assigned

to your team from the criminal bureau.

Nice to meet you.

Berk.

Calm down man.

- Berk.

- Hasan.

Weren't you at the Public Order Office?

I was.

- Did you find something?

- Fire scene.

Fire scenes compared to other crime scenes

are both more difficult and more specific.

- Right.

- Let me explain it like this

if the regular crime scene is a color TV

then the fire scene is a

black and white CRT TV.

- 50 shades of gr

- Okay, now look.

Tell us what you've found on this

black and white TV, picture

photograph whatever.

- The fire started on the driver's side.

- Yes.

Analyzing the hood, we can see that

fuel was used

as a combustible. I didn't go inside but

I can eliminate the chance of an accident.

I'm sorry.

That's incredible, really.

You're saying it wasn't an accident?

It's great to know, right?

And we were about to pass

the case to traffic.

I didn't mean it like that.

All right, okay.

It's burnt up.

We won't get anything out of it.

- Still, let IT take look at it.

- The ID is burnt too.

Mr. Hasan.

What do you think about this?

That woman had a whistle and pepper spray.

So?

So, she was afraid of someone.

The devil wouldn't have thought about it.

Look Önem, do you see inside the lungs?

She breathed hot air during the fire,

so her lungs were scorched.

- She was burnt alive.

- Yes.

That's not all.

She has cracks on her cheekbones.

- Her skull.

- Micro cracks on her skull

and two broken fingers.

And my guess is, just before the fire.

So, right before she was k*lled

she was also tortured.

- All right.

- Look I found something else.

- See?

- The clavicle, is it a healed injury?

- Yeah.

- Hmm.

Look at that break at the radius.

I get it.

And around two years ago

somebody made her suffer

a very serious trauma.

Her fingerprints are gone.

- Teeth?

- Nothing came out of her dental records.

- But

- What's that?

Look.

Can you focus on that?

I'll do you one better.

HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM

Here.

Yes.

Alev Gölpınar. 28 years old.

She was working as assistant

guest coordinator at a private TV channel.

We don't have a record of her address

since last year.

Mr. Hasan, I'd like you to go over

all Alev's records.

Namely the prosecutor's, and the police's.

It's clear she was exposed to violence.

She must've appealed somewhere.

All right?

Serdar.

Analyze all the fuel stations and

surveillance cameras

around the crime scene. Okay?

Understood?

Understood, Captain.

Guys you see the minutes.

Look, here, a woman is being k*lled by her

husband in the middle of the street,

and the ratings are peaking.

That's the kind of news we need.

Do I make myself clear? We need just

that kind of news.

I'm sorry, hello.

- I think you're in the wrong place.

- Mr. Metin?

Yes.

I'm from the Special Crimes Unit.

I would like to ask you about

Alev Gölpınar.

Now I remember.

You're the woman captain

heading the new unit?

My name is Önem Özülkü. My being a woman

has nothing to do with my job.

Of course not.

Guys, could you give us a minute?

- I'm sorry.

- Please.

Thank you.

Has Alev Gölpınar come to work today,

have you seen her?

Alev I didn't see her today.

Ms. Yasemin will know better,

she's the production coordinator.

She didn't come to work. We called

but her phone was switched off.

Did something happen, why do you ask?

Her family reported her missing.

Her family?

Right.

Why are you surprised?

- I thought they didn't speak.

- Is that so?

- Why not?

- How can I put it

Her family were somewhat

narrow minded, uneducated.

- Isn't that so Yasemin?

- Yes

If I'm not wrong, her older sister

was subject to an honor k*lling.

That's why I thought she wasn't in touch

with her family for years.

Okay, was there someone at the station

who Alev didn't get along with

or had a grudge against her?

- No.

- Did you know? You?

That can't be. We're like a family,

for many years.

How close exactly is this family?

- I don't understand.

- Did Alev have a relationship

a boyfriend, a lover, anyone?

No, to my knowledge

she didn't have a lover.

Are you close?

Alev was the type of person

to distance herself a bit.

- She wasn't close to anyone.

- I understand.

All right.

Would you be able to give me

Alev's home address?

Sure, I'll ask HR and send it to you.

Okay, thank you. If you don't mind,

I'd also like to talk

to Alev's other colleagues.

- Of course.

- Thank you.

Unbelievable.

Checking surveillance cameras

like a rookie.

What is it Berk?

All right, we're coming.

Berk found something.

We shouldn't get too excited

if the kid's found something.

He probably found

that the car works with fuel.

- Mr. Prosecutor.

- I had a meeting with your father.

I wanted to check where you were with

the investigation.

We've determined the victim's ID.

Alev Gölpınar.

Following your Captain's request

the coroner has moved up your case.

- That's good.

- I'm sorry?

That's good, Mr. Prosecutor.

Finding the culprit who's burned

someone alive should be

the police's highest priority.

She was burned alive?

Yes, Mr. Prosecutor.

- Even so, procedures must be

- Pardon me, sir.

There's been a development in the case.

- Keep me informed.

- Yes, Mr. Prosecutor.

- What has he found?

- He'll be right with us.

Hello.

Come on man. Do we have to wait for you?

What have you found?

How do you register a vehicle

in the system?

Licence plate.

Yes. That's what comes to mind.

I thought so too

but the license plate

was destroyed in the fire.

So I fixed it and found it.

It belongs to a 4x4 from Adana.

So it's a fake. VIN number?

Chassis number, namely VIN,

the Vehicle Identification Number.

All vehicles have it standard since 1981.

It's formed of 17 characters. The letters

I, O, Q are invalid characters.

The reason being to avoid resemblances.

No man, I don't understand.

- Did you find the VIN num

- Did you know that

the VIN number is on eight different parts

of a car?

No.

The one on the front panel and engine were

unusable, due to the fire.

I've managed to combine the others

to reach 12 of the 17 characters.

If we find the other five, we'll determine

who the vehicle is registered to.

The first three give you the make

of the car. The others are different

- This is burnt. It's unreadable.

- Unreadable for now. Let me take that.

Now

- positive and negatively charged

- Enough.

When will you have it?

In a short while.

Ahmet Gölpınar, the victim's brother,

he's a crime machine.

Born in Istanbul but from

Diyarbakır, he's a middle child.

- His sisters are Alev, and Zelal, 14

- Slow down.

One by one.

- Yes.

- Ahmet Gölpınar, the victim's brother.

He's a real crime machine, a nutcase.

He m*rder*d his older sister Zelal

when he was 14.

The reason was because she'd eloped.

It was an honor k*lling.

Gets out of jail, gets conscripted.

He wants to stay in the military,

but is refused

due to psychological reasons.

He is wounded in a conflict and

discharged early.

Upon his return, he quickly enters

the criminal world.

- What has he done?

- A little bit of everything.

Blackmail, threats, as*ault, he even

put someone in the hospital. All in there.

He is out on probation,

and would you believe he hasn't been in to

see his probation officer today.

All right.

The address Alev Gölpınar

gave her employer is outdated.

Someone else is living there.

Furthermore, her colleagues

say Alev requested some time off

in September for family reasons.

She was back in November.

Family reasons.

Nutcase of a brother, simple case.

We've solved it.

The brother is the k*ller.

Well done Sherlock,

you've solved it in a flash.

Hey, grandpa, were you here?

Show us what you're working on? Let's see.

Six letters, old geezer.

Serdar, any news from the phone?

IT couldn't do anything, but the

GSM operator sent Alev's phone records.

Most of her recent calls were work related

but one number caught my attention.

And that number was registered to her.

She must have gotten

a phone number for someone.

Weird.

Why are you being a buzzkill bro?

Get over there and play.

Come on, men!

That's enough! Sit down Mr. Hasan.

Guys

this is not a preschool, do you get that?

And I am not your peer.

I am your superior.

Is that understood?

Do you want to work in this unit or not?

- I don't.

- Lower that hand.

Lower that hand.

Tough luck,

I want to work with grown-ups,

but all I got was you.

So I have to make do.

Until this case is closed,

you will follow my orders, understood?

After that you can ask for a transfer,

retirement, whatever you want.

Captain, I want to.

I want to work in the unit.

Okay. This is not the time.

SPEAK UP

NO TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

DON'T FILL YOUR SAFES

FINING WOMEN

Don't you worry Mr. Prosecutor.

Captain Önem follows all the protocols.

We won't have any problems later on.

Come on in Önem, come in,

I've been expecting you.

Mr. Prosecutor.

I was just leaving.

Keep me updated about the case.

Of course.

- You've moved up the autopsy.

- What a thing.

Önem moved up the autopsy.

Look Önem,

we've set the wheels in motion for change.

Those like Gökhan are scared that

it will spread to them.

That's why you can't afford

to make a mistake.

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

- I'm sorry.

- Önem.

Nobody expects a speedy conviction

on your first case.

Our priority is to show that this new unit

can work in harmony with everyone.

- Harmony?

- Yes, harmony.

We're on thin ice.

We'll all go down if this ice breaks.

Anyway. How is the case going?

- Are you happy with your team?

- Very much so.

They are working in great harmony. Really.

But, IT couldn't unlock the phone.

Okay, that's no problem. Place

a written request, they'll send an expert.

Wait a minute, anybody but her.

- Önem!

- See you later.

Hackers can monitor phones,

modems, or even smart TVs.

To protect these end nodes, security

I'm sorry, it's my mistake.

Are you stupid?

You're can't even do

the simplest job in the world.

What is it? What happened?

You're getting up from this table,

and you'll apologize to that waitress.

Then, you'll get the f*ck out of here.

Get lost.

Don't mess with me.

I don't have the time to deal with you.

- I'm talking to you.

- I heard you

I need to make a decision.

ME TOO

LAST NIGHT WAS GREA

Should I send these texts

from your mistress

to your wife or your father-in-law?

Or maybe, wait a minute, if I dig in more,

what other dirty

I'll report you to the police.

What will you say?

"Officer, a girl broke my finger."

Thank you.

Nergis?

Sofia.

You don't say, he said that?

That's great.

After you retire, you should do stand-up.

What's that? Hasan?

You got in the car, you're silent.

I'm bored, don't you get it?

I'm bored, There's nothing to read there.

The case is obvious, as usual.

We know the guy,

we'll go and pick him up.

For God's sake.

Are you angry with me?

Let's talk it out.

We're colleagues,

we should be open with each other.

Are you mad that I called you a geezer?

Enjoy it, man.

These will be the last cases

you will work on.

It's game over for you.

90 minutes plus 4, the referee is about to

blow the last whistle.

Look these special crimes and so on

They'll be shut down soon.

They will turn it back to archives,

and plant you there.

What's more

When they close it down,

who knows where I'll be exiled.

Don't worry, your father will save you.

He'll save me. Yes.

He will save me.

My father always saves me.

He'll save me in such a way that

he might make me police chief.

You want me to work with the cops.

Not with the cops.

I want you to work with me.

I can make a difference in this new unit.

Femicides

- are hate crimes

- You'll make a difference like this?

I know that you'll say

those are not your words.

Then you know I had to say them.

The old Önem would tear that paper up

and speak her mind.

Sofia, that Önem couldn't head this unit.

This is the phone that belonged

to a woman burned alive.

If I am to bring justice to her

and others like her,

this time I need to do

everything by the book.

Do you understand?

What if somebody's life is at stake

and that book tells you to wait and see,

what will you do?

I have to take this, sorry.

Hello?

Yes.

Is this the place?

It looks empty?

Man the weather is like a joke.

It's sunny, then rainy.

Just like you.

Is anyone home?

What are you doing?

Wow.

Look at the geezer. Respect, man.

You're saying it's not over yet.

- Good, you're not only solving crosswords.

- Can I help you?

Hey brother, we were looking for Ahmet.

I'm a friend of Ahmet's from the army.

We were in the same company.

Don't worry about him. He's our commander.

He got shot in the head. He's lost it.

He was a cannoneer, he can't hear.

I'm Ahmet's buddy.

We used to spend a lot of time together.

We had some important things to tell him.

A matter of life and death.

Where can we find him?

HOTTER THAN THE SUN

Hotter than the sun.

Let's see how hot it is.

Come on. It's really burning.

We don't have our g*ns, let's see.

Let's not blow our cover.

Pull yourself together!

- Ahmet is inside!

- I know.

- Are you the guy?

- What?

- Do we place our bets with you?

- Yes.

- How much for shirtless?

- Two to one.

- The other?

- Three.

On shirtless!

- Are there any more?

- No.

I see. Do I get a receipt or something?

- No.

- So how do I

Is that the method?

Yes.

Come on man!

Mind your left. Your left side.

There it is!

That's it!

f*ck!

Your guard!

Come on! Don't make this a losing night.

Come on, on your guard!

- Welcome home.

- Hello.

- How was school today?

- The usual.

- Good. Your exam?

- The exam

It was fine. Why?

- It was biology, right?

- Don't be a policewoman Mom.

What are you after?

- You weren't at school today.

- Did they call you?

I'm not in the mood. Can we talk later?

We'll talk now, Sude.

Yes Mr. Hasan?

Yes.

I'm expecting your call, okay.

Come on Ahmet! Come on son!

He's winning!

Where were you?

Don't get lost! You'll get crushed

under these big men.

Come on!

Ha-ha!

Go, Ahmet!

Get up son! Up! Come on!

Come on son! Come on!

Let's get him.

Get lost man. Out.

Look here! Look! I'm counting to three!

Anyone left I'll cuff one by one!

I'll f*ck you!

One, two, three!

f*ck off man!

Come on man, come on.

On your way, sir, please.

Braveheart.

What's going on, hello?

- Look, here. Hey!

- What's going on?

What's up with you? Slow down.

- Who are you?

- What's it to you?

- Look now girl

- Girl?

If you're here for a control,

it's on the third floor,

- first to the bathroom, than the control.

- f*ck off.

Look here, talking trash won't fly here.

- I'm looking. So what?

- What's going on?

The Captain is here. She's talking trash.

- Who's your daddy?

- Shush. Sofia.

It's okay, no worries.

The place is cool, who's your architect?

- What about the phone?

- You're not surprised I'm here?

- I'm not, because you took the phone.

- Okay, only for this case.

We'll see.

Now, what I don't get is

how can this girl solve

what the great IT department couldn't.

If I tell you my secret,

I'd have to k*ll you.

I like this girl.

She doesn't have any messages, call logs,

photographs, nothing.

But still

the memory is nearly half full.

- She's hiding something.

- Exactly what I thought.

She has two calculators in her apps.

So? What happens

when she has two calculators?

Nobody uses two calculators

on their phone.

An app. Directly downloadable.

It's an interface

to hide messages and calls.

That's right. It's not an app that you can

download directly from the store.

Most probably all the messages

and photographs are in this app.

But why would anyone install such a thing?

To protect the information in case

the phone is hacked.

Okay, how soon can you crack it?

The password is 12 characters long,

so I guess it might take a week or so.

With a single computer that's true.

But we could speed it up if we connect

to the force's server

and make use of their processing power.

- Exactly.

- Exactly?

How so?

Is this an internet café?

What are you doing?

Captain?

Do I have this right?

We will be connecting an unknown computer

to the police force's secure network,

is that it?

Very brave.

Let's do it from my computer.

Okay?

We found your car at the crime scene.

It was stolen last week.

What would anyone want

with your crappy car?

Ahmet.

We found your car at the crime scene

with the woman you burnt.

Alev.

You k*lled your younger sister

just as you k*lled your older sister.

You b*stard!

Let me go!

Captain?

Ahmet! Place your hands on the wall!

- Okay Serdar, calm down.

- Captain, stay away.

- You don't get it.

- Explain it then, Ahmet!

Look I'm the one standing between the g*n

and you. You don't want me to move away.

You don't get it.

Once you go to jail

you're always in.

You're the same in people's opinion.

You're always the villain.

Always a m*rder*r.

Only

only Alev didn't see it like that.

In this world, only Alev

saw me as a human.

You didn't k*ll your older sister.

And Alev knew this?

Hmm, Ahmet?

My father

sold my sister for a large sum.

Dowry.

When my sister ran away, he said we needed

to k*ll her for our honor.

I couldn't do it.

I mean

How could I?

But he didn't have mercy.

No mercy for his own daughter.

He k*lled his own daughter.

I took the blame.

Come on. Let's get up.

There you go.

Is your father still alive?

He died.

From cancer. Three years ago.

Did you give your car to Alev?

She came two months ago.

She needed a car so I gave her my spare.

Why the fake license plate?

- For work.

- Ahmet,

Someone was abusing her for some time.

They were hurting her.

You know who that was, don't you?

You know them.

Right, Ahmet?

No. I don't know them.

- Look me in the eyes.

- I don't know.

You said "you b*stard" back then,

do you remember?

If you want to get him yourself,

you'll have to wait a long time.

I'll have you followed 24/7. You won't be

able to wipe your a*s without me knowing.

And Alev's m*rder*r will get away,

do you understand?

Last year

it seems she disappeared

between September and November.

We thought she was afraid of you,

and reappeared once you were in jail.

But we were wrong, weren't we?

COMPLAINT REPOR

Will you remember?

b*stard.

Firstly I would like to thank you.

Speaking on an important issue

like violence against women

ASSOC. DR. ERDAL BİLGİN

Once Ahmet learns that Alev

is being abused, he starts following her.

He finds out that she's seeing this guy.

He sees them fight, breaks his nose,

puts him in hospital.

This is our guy.

Erdal Bilgin.

Ahmet, beats this guy up in November 2020,

breaks his probation conditions and

spends 10 months in jail.

So during this time,

namely these 10 months,

has there been any communication

between Alev and Erdal?

- Alev blocked the guy's number.

- I'm not surprised.

All right, Mr. Hasan,

anything on the credit cards?

About a year ago, Mr. Erdal made

payments to various private clinics.

I've spoken to two of these and

they remembered Alev.

So why didn't this girl go to the police

even though she was

beaten repeatedly?

- Because the police don't do sh*t.

- What?

Unfortunately.

Alev was afraid to be k*lled just like

all the other m*rder*d girls, Serdar.

She was also afraid that her brother would

k*ll Erdal and go back to jail.

Exactly.

Mr. Erdal, what do you think is the reason

behind the increase in femicides

in our country?

Mr. Metin, we should first ask this:

are men and women equal?

If they aren't then why not,

if they are then why this discrimination.

Men and women are equal

in the eyes of the law, right?

But in our country this matter

is evolving unhealthily.

While trying to protect women's rights,

men become discredited

and their words don't mean anything.

Man or woman doesn't matter.

When unqualified people get promoted,

because of this positive discrimination,

qualified men become rather passive.

However in society, passive men

shatter the family structure.

A society or family with passive men

is bound to crumble.

- Mr. Erdal

- One minute, I haven't finished.

Something else,

the woman's word is to be trusted.

What does that mean?

Were we not equal, right?

Isn't a man's word as worthy as a woman's?

You're changing the subject.

And you're interrupting me? Are you aware?

In conclusion, you can't act based on

a woman's word.

Mr. Metin. I'm sorry I'm late.

Yes dear viewers, another guest today is

from the newly founded SCU

of the Istanbul Police Force

and heading it, Captain Önem

Özülkü.

Yes.

Ms. Özülkü, could you tell us

and our viewers

why you are here today?

Of course. First of all hello.

I would like to point out that,

I found Mr. Erdal's statements

to be insincere and malicious.

I see, which ones did you find

insincere and malicious?

Even though you are aware of

how hard it is for a woman

to say they were attacked

or subjected to violence

you still use the concept of

equality of men and women

for manipulation.

- God, were you even listening?

- With both ears.

I heard you clearly,

but right now I don't have the time to

analyze your sentences.

But I can say this in summary,

you're a miserable man who wants

women to live under

the hegemony of men.

- How can you talk to me like this?

- Is it bothering you?

But I don't care about that. I would like

to tell you why I'm here.

I'm sorry Mr. Metin.

We've discovered the victim's identity

who was burnt alive yesterday morning.

She's the guest coordinator of this

show, Alev Gölpınar.

Unfortunately, this is not

all that we've found out.

Erdal Bilgin, who's a married man, has

been having an affair with Alev Gölpınar.

When the victim learns about this

and wants to end the relation

he subjects her to violence.

Violence so extreme

that it dislocates her shoulder

and hospitalizes her.

You're lying!

- Cut, cut the show. She's lying!

- You're the real liar.

You've subjected your lover

to violence numerous times,

hospitalizing her, and yet you're here

in front of the cameras

lecturing.

- I'll finish you off. Who are you

- You can't do anything to me.

I am Captain Önem Özülkü,

arresting you on suspicion

of murdering Alev Gölpınar

- She's lying, What's she saying?

- We're sorry.

She's lying!

- She's lying!

- I'm sorry again.

Let me leave this microphone here.

Congratulations, boss.

Right now you're the most viewed woman

in Turkey who still has her clothes on.

By the way I found something

on the guy's phone

- Do you know what you've done?

- Haluk.

Out.

Get out.

- Sofia.

- I said get out.

Can we talk inside, Chief?

- I told you not to hire her.

- She was the only one to crack the phone.

- Is that why you're here?

- No it's not.

I came to ask if you know

what you've done today.

- What have I done?

- Önem.

I told you they didn't want this unit, and

all eyes were on us, and to be careful.

- What did you do?

- What did I do?

You not only arrested him on live TV

but you also tried to break his wrist.

- No.

- What's going on?

Daddy and mommy are fighting.

- Who?

- That's what he says!

- He can say whatever he wants!

- I told you.

You told me this and that.

You told me everything,

well then you should have

hired a puppet to do exactly as you

asked, Haluk.

Do you need me at all?

You shouldn't have hired me, then.

- Here.

- What's this?

I'm as clear as you are.

- What's this?

- My resignation.

Process it at your leisure.

Want to play with fire?

All right.

Play with fire.

One mistake, just one more mistake,

and I won't have a choice.

Yes. What were you going to show me?

Show me.

One day before, Erdal was asked

to become a permanent guest on the show

that Alev worked on.

What a coincidence.

That's why, the first show Erdal is on

is the last show Alev is alive in.

What are you saying?

Hello?

Okay.

His lawyer is here.

Let him come.

Why is the sound off?

Why don't we turn the sound on?

Why haven't we thought about that?

Miss, the police can't listen on the

discussions of a lawyer and his defender.

I'm not a cop.

But you're working for the police.

Should I remind you again?

And we can't use what we hear here.

It's inadmissible, it won't help us.

And despite the way he was treated

he would like to help you find Alev's

m*rder*r.

When did your relationship

with Alev start?

Two years ago.

Alev wanted to find an expert guest

for another show.

Then she found me.

Our relationship continued after the show.

When did she leave you?

About a year ago.

Was that before or after

you broke her clavicle?

I never did such a thing.

Whenever she was subject to violence

from you, she was treated on your account.

I've never done anything

that wasn't deserved.

Are you the one who decides

on who deserves what?

Look, Mr. Erdal accepts that he made

some mistakes.

My client is a passionate man.

He gets easily emotional.

The fight was reciprocal.

Following Alev's provocations

my client could not contain his anger.

And once they broke it off,

he never saw her again.

- If we don't count yesterday's show.

- Your first show

was by sheer coincidence Alev's last day

on this earth.

My client is a highly respected

sociologist.

He receives offers from many shows.

Erdal Bilgin.

One last question.

- Why did Alev leave you?

- Was it because you were married?

Or because you beat her repeatedly?

- I didn't k*ll Alev! You

- This meeting is over.

Thank you.

I want to know what he's eaten, drunk,

who he's met with in the last year.

I want all sorts of information.

I want everything on Erdal Bilgin.

Önem.

I studied Alev's phone signals

between September-November.

The phone gave off

a signal at certain times.

Okay, right, from where?

From Kurtuluş. She didn't leave Kurtuluş

for two months.

Okay, that's great, Mr. Hasan please find

anyone who might know her around Kurtuluş.

And you, look at the past medical records.

Investigate medical centers,

anything you can find.

- Okay.

- She must have left an address

to a medical facility.

Maybe we can manage

to find her new address.

If we're lucky.

Hello? Mr. Sezgin.

Sude beat up two male students today.

Up to now we have been lenient

toward her absences,

her fights with her teachers,

and her failure to submit her homework.

However we couldn't tolerate her

fighting and beating up

her friends at the same school.

Sude has crossed the line.

I told you I didn't start it. They did.

Sude.

The kids' families are complaining.

Ms. Önem please remove your daughter

from this school before things escalade.

Otherwise

I'm sorry.

Well

Are you expelling the other two kids

as well, are all three being expelled?

I didn't catch that.

A disciplinary inquiry

will be conducted for them as well.

When they manage to get back to school.

Ms. Önem one of the kids has

a twisted wrist,

while the other has cracked ribs.

Let me get this straight.

The other two kids start the fight.

My daughter protects herself.

You're only conducting

a disciplinary inquiry

for the other two And you're expelling

my daughter, did I get it right?

Ms. Önem, Sude is having difficulties

adapting to school this year.

As an educator, you decide to expel her?

I don't get it.

- I can't make you see

- You can.

Ms. Önem,

this school has certain principles.

We can't allow for such a thing.

Either you remove Sude from school

or the disciplinary board will expel her.

If that happens, it will be in

her records. Do you want that?

Okay, I get it. Then let's do this

assemble the disciplinary board

Mr. Principal. Get up Sude.

Start the inquiries but be fair.

If not, let me inform you that

I will seek my rights as a parent.

Ms. Önem.

Way to go mom, you were like

the Terminator in there.

Shut up, Sude. We'll talk at home.

- Captain's not here, if you came for her.

- I came to see you.

You're working out gloveless,

you'll get injured.

So what?

You've buried me in this graveyard.

Are you here to throw some dirt over me?

I'm not the reason why you're here.

It's what you did in Public Order.

What have I done there? What?

I did what I had to do. A life was over.

That doesn't mean anything

to you, does it?

Of course not. Let me ask you this.

Did you ever care for someone?

Including your precious Captain,

have you ever cared for someone?

- I protected

- Don't protect me! What for? Don't!

- Son!

- f*ck off!

Don't protect me. Each time you do that

my life gets f*cked.

Don't protect me.

Your concern is your career.

Your road to governorship

can't be hampered by any hurdles.

Staying on track.

That's your only concern.

- Nothing else.

- Son.

What "son"? Serdar shouldn't be

reproached, get told off

- shouldn't piss about.

- Son!

What "son," come on? No more son.

Serdar is unreachable here.

Do you do this to the suspects too?

What is that?

Using silence as a weapon.

Is that what I'm doing?

Do you want to talk?

Okay.

Let's talk. I'm listening.

I protected myself.

Sude you didn't protect yourself. You beat

them up and hospitalized them.

Why did you beat them up?

- Do you really want to know?

- Of course I do.

All right. Okay.

Look, those imbeciles watched the video

like all the others at school, okay?

- So?

- They made fun.

They said "Your feminist mom beat the guy

up on TV, did she beat your dad too?"

And you attacked them because of this?

I told you I didn't attack them.

Don't you listen to me?

Okay, I'm sorry.

You're right, go on, I'm listening.

I swore at them.

They couldn't take

being sworn at by a woman.

They attacked.

When they attacked I

You know the rest. Okay? Are you happy?

Are you done?

Don't be stupid, why should I be happy?

You don't have to protect me, darling.

I'm not protecting you.

I'm protecting myself.

As always.

But if my father was here

What if your father was here?

Sude go on, what if your father was here?

You start a sentence, finish it off.

I'm sick of it, you know?

I'm sick of you using your father

every time you're in the wrong.

Get up. Give me your phone.

The conversation is over. Come on.

Unbelievable.

Give it.

- No phone for a week. That's it.

- Is that a joke? What will I do?

If something happens, will I send

smoke signals?

You're really funny. Here.

You'll manage with this.

And for one week,

to make sure that you're at school,

I'll drop you off and pick you up.

Here is your SIM card. There we go.

I swear I'll go and run away

to a women's shelter.

Go on, as if they were expecting you,

weren't they?

Do you know how offensive it is,

what you've just said?

Women's shelters,

as if you know how they are!

Brat.

Why didn't I think of that?

You continue.

Yes Önem?

- Can I ask you something?

- Of course, tell me.

Alev might have gone to women's shelters.

They might not tell me anything

if I call them as the police.

- Could I ask you to

- Me, working at the association

- they might talk to me.

- Exactly.

Okay, send me the information on Alev,

I'll see to it right away.

- Good morning Feriha.

- Good morning Önem.

I found the shelter Alev was in.

That's wonderful, okay.

Mom, you're going the wrong way.

Where are we going? I'm going to be late.

Mom, why did you bring me here?

Mom, answer me, why are we here,

are we going to do something here?

Come on, get out.

- Come on.

- Why are we here?

Because this is the place where both

our lives changed.

You blamed me for your father's death.

- I'm not blaming you.

- You are.

I also blame myself.

If I had been

on time with you at your school that day

your father could be with us today.

But you weren't, okay? You were late,

late as usual!

That's it! Önem Özülkü's most important

thing in her life is her work, okay?

You were late!

Okay, look, that's why we're here now.

Whenever I get stuck

or I can't solve something,

I come here to unburden myself.

You can let go of your anger at me here.

- Önem.

- Sude?

- She's fine. She's alive.

- Sude! My baby.

My baby. Thank God.

Dad.

Ba Bahadır.

- Bahadır!

- Önem! Don't go, Önem!

Bahadır enough!

I'm worn out, I'm worn out

because I can't reach my daughter.

I've had enough of fighting

with her every single day, Bahadır!

- Bahadır!

- Önem! Don't go, Önem!

Bahadır!

Dad it's not fair!

Why did you leave me and go?

Nobody gets me, nobody!

I hate Mom and everyone at school.

I hate them all.

All right.

- My love, all right.

- I hate it all.

All right my love.

Look, I'm right here, I'm here.

I promise I'll never leave you.

- Welcome.

- How are you Feriha?

- Fine and you?

- Good, my dear.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Ms. Feriha right?

Please, Ms. Didem is expecting you.

- Can I take you're phones please?

- Of course.

Hello.

Hi.

- Welcome.

- Hello.

Good luck with that

- Welcome Feriha.

- Hello.

Thank you for seeing us.

How may I be of assistance?

Actually Feriha told me on the phone

you wanted to speak about Alev.

Yes, she stayed at your shelter

for a while right?

Yes.

It was a year ago.

How long did she stay?

About two months.

She was very afraid of her old boyfriend.

Is this him?

Well, we've never see him. Alev was

really scared of the man.

She said they had a strong relationship.

That's why she came to us.

She never filed a complaint though.

She told us she wouldn't go to the police

because she was scared.

He said that he'd k*ll her if she did.

If she was that afraid, why did she leave

after two months?

At the end of the day, this is a shelter.

There are rules to be followed.

When Alev was here, she couldn't

go to work. Phones are not allowed.

Our guests are only allowed

to leave the shelter

at certain times of the day.

And that's only for work.

Alev's work hours did not suit that.

Alev couldn't stay here

because her work hours didn't work out.

- I see.

- Look.

We have a limited capacity.

When certain conditions are met,

the women have to leave

and live their lives.

I understand.

Do you have the address she was living at

after she left here?

Unfortunately no.

Ms. Didem, I'm going to ask you a

hypothetical question.

Let's say two women had a problem

here at your shelter.

What happens then?

It doesn't happen often,

but it does occur.

So what's the procedure

when it does happen?

The first time we warn them. Unfortunately

the second time, they're expelled.

They are thrown out.

You have to understand.

Was there anyone Alev had a problem with?

- Hello, Meltem.

- Hello.

Thank you for accepting.

You didn't leave me another option.

Do you remember me?

Yes, you're the Captain

at the scene of the burning car.

We spoke to your Captain

before bringing you in.

- You were late to work on Monday.

- You came directly to the crime scene.

Do you know the victim who lost her life

in the burning car, Meltem?

Alev.

The woman you fought with at the

Beyaz Papatya s helter.

Right?

I swear I had no idea

until you said it on live TV.

Why didn't you come forward afterwards?

What was I going to say?

You had already arrested Erdal.

When did you meet?

With Alev? How?

Where?

When the district set up an exam for

firefighters, I applied with my husband.

It was a physical endurance test.

I passed, he couldn't.

He couldn't accept being beaten by me.

He threw a tantrum first,

and then we would fight for no reason.

One day, I fought back.

Next thing I know I was in the hospital.

Why didn't you tell anyone?

It was tough to be the only woman

at the station.

They would treat me differently.

Can I have some water?

Fight with the woman.

Go burn her.

Then try to put it out.

That's great.

It would suit you, right?

- Are you talking to me?

- Woman kills woman, case closed.

The patriarchal order is not disturbed.

That's what I'm saying.

Did I say that?

What I was What's going on?

A hacker's inside the force's network.

f*ck. What are we going to do?

Calm down champ, I'm just joking.

I found the ghost driver's password.

So?

PH IS FOLLOWING

Say something, what's going on?

Let's not get in trouble.

I searched on the internet.

I called the association, they told me

I could come. But I didn't stay long.

About two weeks, until I found a house.

That's where I met Alev.

You couldn't stay long because you

fought with Alev and had to leave.

Look, it's not easy for anyone.

Sharing five square meters with people

you don't know. I was angry.

What Gürkan did, all that happened to me.

So I lashed out at Alev,

but we made up afterwards.

How so?

After I left the shelter I'd sometimes

stay at my friend's

or I'd sleep at the station.

My chief noticed

and I was getting in trouble.

When Alev found me.

She took me in.

Are you still staying at her house?

No. I moved about four months ago.

Once my divorce was finalized.

Önem, I found something.

Meltem, Alev sent you a message

a couple of hours before she died.

And she said "PH is following. I have to

go home pick up the guest."

Is this right?

Meltem, who is PH?

Who was Alev hiding at home?

Meltem.

Alev might have died because of this.

The shelters have a certain limit.

So you were helping those

who couldn't find a place there, right?

Right.

Who was Alev hiding at home?

- I don't know.

- Meltem, who is PH?

I don't know.

It's really not the right time

to hide information.

Look, I really don't know.

PH is an abbreviation we use

for Psycho Husband.

That's why I was late for work

that morning.

I called Alev but couldn't reach her.

No one was there when I went over.

Meltem, why are you telling us

all this right now?

Why didn't you say before?

Alev might have lost her life

because of this.

Do you know how many women are k*lled by

their husband after they go to the police?

It's safer for them to stay in hiding.

It was safer for Alev too.

Meltem

who was Alev hiding at home?

I really don't know.

That was the system. The less people knew,

the better it was.

I just know the guest arrived

two days before.

Okay. We need Alev's address.

You stay there.

Clear.

This place is 1.5 km from the crime scene.

So a psycho husband followed Alev.

Berk!

What's going on?

Broken glass. Look at it.

A broken ashtray.

This is all we have for the time being.

No it's not.

That's not all we have.

Everything is too clean and organized.

Captain!

What is it?

- Blonde.

- Alev was a brunette.

You're hanging by a thread

as thin as a strand of hair,

- I hope you're aware.

- Sorry Mr. Prosecutor,

but it doesn't matter much to me anymore.

It should. We need officers like you.

Önem heading this unit is nothing more

than a PR move.

Your father chose the wrong person.

- But you can show him the truth.

- I

- I will show the truth to my father?

- I know.

You don't approve of his actions.

He's a politician. He has other concerns.

You and me, we have a common concern.

Justice.

So, Mr. Prosecutor?

You should have been Captain

instead of Önem a long time ago.

That would have been right.

Önem sees this unit as

just a step for promotion.

Haluk too for that matter.

Whereas you want to do the right thing.

But you're acting on your emotions.

Look.

Even if I think it was wrong,

you did what you had to do.

What did your father do in return?

He threw you in the Graveyard

to work under that woman.

You're talented, intelligent.

Don't get angry and waste your potential

because of your father's weakness.

Let me help you.

- Where's Serdar?

- I'm here.

Okay, did we get anything

out of the piece of glass?

Since ancient times it has been known

that fingerprints are unique.

The Bible says,

"He sealeth up the hand of every man,

that all men may know his work."

The Holy Quran says,

"We are able to make whole

his very finger-tips."

Berk.

My dear brother, did you find anything

on the glass pieces? That's the question.

Unfortunately it's impossible to reach

a conclusion from such a small sample.

That is if you don't have Interpol's

AFIS software.

Download it then.

Did I miss something or did Interpol open

a store?

This can't be found on the internet.

What's it do?

The algorithm transforms the

fingerprint to a numeric model

and comparing it to a database

can closely estimate the original.

It creates a new model.

Wait a minute.

This program combines the fingerprints

on its database with the one

that we provide using

- its algorithm?

- It does.

- Yes.

- But it's impossible to find the program.

What's that? A.I. FIS.

Wait a second, how'd you do that?

Where did you get it?

- What did you do? Hack Interpol?

- No.

- I hacked the company that created it.

- Wait a second, Captain.

That's too far.

Okay, look I thought I was oblivious,

but this is too much.

As if he never used any pirated software.

Captain, to my understanding

this isn't like the regular

office programs that we use.

Did you suddenly decide

to follow the rules?

Now

Önem, a woman's life is at stake.

You've downloaded it, will we get

in trouble if we delete it now?

Not if I'm here.

Okay, then let's do this. Everyone other

than Sofia can leave.

Nobody has to collude. Okay?

I think I gave an order.

I'm sorry, it must be old age,

I'm hard of hearing.

I had some work to do.

Have it your way.

Sofia, use the software quickly

and then delete it.

But quickly.

I may have a suggestion, if you will.

I'm listening.

Be more careful when Serdar is around.

Why?

Do you know what he did in Public Order?

No I don't, but I think you do Mr. Hasan?

NO FINGERPRINT MATCH FOUND

Am I correct?

Not connected to any crime.

Okay.

Let's check the fingerprints for

passport and ID applications.

It's a match.

Is it here?

Serdar stay here.

What?

Can we talk please?

- Please.

- I heard about Public Order.

You beat your colleagues and

hospitalized them.

Did Mr. Hasan tell you?

I don't care who said what.

I know what Hasan doesn't know.

Those in the Public Order were

responsible in the death

of your informant. I'm sorry.

You're playing the tough guy

to protect yourself.

I can see and understand that.

- You don't get it.

- I do.

You don't.

Look, there are things you don't know.

You don't know anything about me.

I'm sorry but at this moment,

I don't have to explain myself to you.

Serdar.

Look, if we're going to work together

we have to trust each other.

Don't forget that.

- Do we have to?

- Yes we have to.

We have to trust.

That kid trusted me.

The informant.

He wasn't just an informant living

in the streets and helping out

cops once in a while.

He was a kid who wanted

to escape the streets.

He was helping us.

He was inspired by us,

and felt good about it

when he was helping us.

He felt he was being useful.

And we were getting information

from time to time.

We thought we were doing

intelligence work.

One day, the guys told us about a raid

and said we'd catch them red handed.

They asked me to make my guy a courier,

I said fine but asked them

to be careful to avoid problems.

They said that nothing would happen.

They asked me to trust them.

I trusted them.

And that kid trusted me.

What happened then?

We held his funeral.

I didn't plan to do that.

I went to ask for explanations.

I wasn't planning on causing trouble.

I saw them with their phones,

watching movies, laughing about it.

And then I lost it.

So Captain Önem.

When I last trusted someone I buried

a 15-year-old kid.

That's why I can't trust anyone

since then.

I'm sorry, but no one

should trust me either.

- Hello.

- Hello.

I was here to see Sevda Güreli.

That's me.

I'm Captain Önem Özülkü from

special crimes.

I would like to ask you a couple of

questions about Alev Gölpınar.

Ms. Önem.

- Hello Mr. Metin.

- Hello.

- I didn't know her that much.

- Really?

But your fingerprints were found

at her home.

Didn't you help her when she was moving?

It's probably from then.

Anything else?

We need to ask Ms. Sevda

a couple of questions.

We have to take her for questioning.

I'm sorry Captain

but she's feeling unwell today.

If you have any more questions

please contact our lawyer.

I'm sorry we've disturbed you.

15 days ago I told Metin that I wanted

to leave him.

That's why he beat me for days on end.

I thought about running away

Metin realized that.

He began taking me to the station

so I was always around him.

Alev

Alev must have suspected something

since I was at the station every day.

Three days ago, she came and told me

what had happened to her.

She told you that

she could hide you at her place.

The next day I left before Metin woke up.

We met with Alev at five in the morning.

She took me to her place.

She gave me a new phone.

She told me not to talk to anyone.

But that last day Alev told me that Metin

might be suspicious of her.

Thinking that he might learn something

he invited Alev's ex Erdal

to the show as a guest.

- Did he get the address from him?

- Alev called me later on in the evening.

She said Metin was following her.

She said she was trying to reach a friend

who would pick me up.

But nobody came.

I was waiting at her place, so afraid.

Then Alev called back.

But it was Metin on the phone.

He said if I didn't tell him where I was

he'd k*ll Alev.

You told him.

After a while Metin came.

Alev wasn't with him.

I asked him but he didn't tell me.

I knew what he'd done.

I tried very hard

to save myself from Metin.

He was much stronger than me.

He brought me back home.

I couldn't save Alev.

We weren't close but she

put her life in danger for me

but I couldn't save her. I couldn't.

You did everything you could.

- Believe me.

- I couldn't.

There is only one person to blame here.

Metin Güreli,

your wife told us everything.

You understood that Alev

was trying to distract you.

You held her up at the first occasion,

tortured her until she passed out.

When that didn't do,

you convinced her that you'd let her go

if she called your wife in tears.

When Sevda answered,

you k*lled her without mercy.

- Is that what I did?

- Yes it is.

Because you got what you wanted.

In order not to leave

any evidence or trace

and to continue

that shitty career of yours

you put that woman in the car,

and burned her alive.

- Then you went to the house to Sevda

- Do you have any proof?

Why are you smirking man?

Why are you smirking?

Pull yourself together, scumbag.

This isn't like your TV show.

Don't you hear?

She says your wife told us all.

Sevda didn't see any of the things

you just told me.

Her testimony is not valid.

As for kidnapping her

it's Sevda's word against mine.

So far, I haven't seen any evidence

tying me to this crime.

You only have the

delirious statements of my wife, right?

Scumbag.

He burns her alive, and then smirks

like the Cheshire Cat.

Sofia did you find anything on

this guy's phone?

The last signal

on his phone was from a base station

close to the station.

He didn't calibrate the GPS.

His car was stationary for three hours

1.5 km from the factory where

Alev was k*lled.

From there he went to Alev's and then

to his own house.

Not enough.

He'll say he went to get his wife after

speaking to Alev, and get away with it.

I'm going mad.

Captain.

Do you trust me?

It isn't over yet.

I'll sue you all one by one.

Can you get your man out of here?

He's not my man.

He's Alev's brother Ahmet.

Actually he was our first suspect.

Let me remind you,

he's the one who hospitalized

Erdal when Erdal beat Alev.

Who knows what he'll do to her m*rder*r.

- You have to protect me.

- Why should I?

You told us you weren't her m*rder*r, no?

Get out.

- Out.

- You can't make me.

Out.

Come on.

Get out.

Jerk.

I want to change my deposition.

Good.

Thank you Ahmet for coming.

You're welcome

but I don't know you've asked me here.

I think there was a misunderstanding.

Ahmet.

We have your sister's m*rder*r.

- No.

- No.

Ahmet.

Don't.

Mr. Prosecutor, all the evidence and

depositions are in the file, here.

Well done, Captain.

I'd like to congratulate you.

Thank you.

I never stopped believing in you.

Are you sure you don't want to keep it?

However

there is something we need to discuss.

Congratulations guys,

we've successfully solved our first case.

I would like to thank you all.

But there is a shitty detail.

This as*h*le Erdal Bilgin

wants us to apologize to him.

Otherwise apparently he is going to sue

the force for defamation.

What if you spoke to Mr. Haluk?

- What if I told you I heard it from him.

- Let him sue.

He can't do anything.

Yes but the force wants us

to formally apologize.

Bullshit.

I think so too.

Mr. Hasan.

I was going to make a complaint.

Yes. Your name?

Gülseren. Gülseren Bilgin.

Erdal Bilgin's wife Gülseren Bilgin.

The Special Crimes Unit solved

its first case very quickly

achieving phenomenal results

in the arrest of Metin Güreli

for the m*rder of Alev Gölpınar.

The name behind this great success

is as you know none other than

Captain Önem Özülkü.

Now

I would like thank her on behalf

of the force and leave the floor to her.

Welcome.

Alev Gölpınar was a brave woman.

Just like many others, she was subject

to violence yet she didn't yield to it

and even tried to save her fellow women

who were subjected to violence.

One of those was Sevda Güreli.

We've made a number of mistakes

during our investigations.

I would like to apologize for those here

in front of you.

I would like to apologize

to Alev Gölpınar.

For not being able to give the necessary

reassurance as a police force to make her

feel confident enough to file

a complaint against Mr. Bilgin who

systematically subjected her to violence.

I am also sorry about Erdal Bilgin.

Thinking that he was

Alev Gölpınar's m*rder*r

we lost time in finding Sevda Güreli,

who was being held c*ptive

by her husband Metin Güreli.

Mr. Erdal,

unfortunately I can't arrest you for

what you've done to Alev Gölpınar.

But, here guys.

Erdal Bilgin,

- following Mrs. Bilgin's complaint

- What?

we are detaining you for violence

against women

and breach of their rights.

- Here.

- What are you looking at? Do something!

Did you know?

Yes. I personally gave the order.

I apologize to every

single woman in the country,

on behalf of the police for not being able

to provide the necessary security for them

to walk without having to glance behind.

For them having to hide when

they're r*ped or harassed

because they have no faith

in the justice system.

I apologize to all the children

in the country.

Because their murderers are

free to walk away

when these children are k*lled in violent

and barbarous ways.

It doesn't matter if it's a woman,

man, or child.

I would like to apologize to every

single citizen

who was mistreated and couldn't

find justice when they sought it.

Those who believe they're untouchable

mistreating and defrauding

the innocent, those who are fleeing

the justice system,

I am calling out to you.

Things will change.

WE WISH TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE TO

CULTURE AND TOURISM
