01x07 - Confrontation

[bunniefuu]

Peride] Oh my God. That is horrific.

[thunder crashing]

I promise you I'll stop them.

APRIL 18, 1919

THE NIGHT OF THE BALL

What are you up to?

Where did you get the outfit?

It was just a front, the article,

wasn't it?

Because you've planned all this.

How did you know about this? Who are you?

If you don't immediately let go of my arm,

I shall have to call you

to the attention of the police, sir.

[Peride snorts]

- [Ahmet sighs]

- [Peride sniffs]

I think you must be confusing me

with someone else.

[Peride] Do you not understand?

Mustafa Kemal is in great danger,

and I have to stop them.

[thunder crashing]

Just listen to me.

You have to give me a key,

so I can go forward

and do something about it.

It's not as easy as it sounds,

Miss Peride.

[thunder rumbling]

[Dimitri sighs]

If you choose not to help me, I will have

to open the underground door.

You can't!

Tell me, then.

I have to know.

[Dimitri sighs]

Go to 411.

And don't come to me again.

The slate is wiped clean between us!

[sighs]

[Ahmet sighs]

[breathing shakily]

Now, tell me why Halit is chasing you.

ROOMS 408 - 411

[screaming]

[screaming]

No way. It can't have been Halit.

You must have been mistaken.

You explain, then. Isn't that room 411?

At first, I didn't get it when you said

Peride had been m*rder*d.

But when I saw Halit at the hospital,

I knew exactly what happened.

There's no doubt.

Peride was k*lled by your father.

- Oh!

- [Dimitri laughs]

You still haven't grasped

how dangerous this hotel is.

You really have no idea

what you're up against.

And then you think, "Hey! We'll sort out

these problems just like that!"

I don't want any more

to do with you, you're insane.

I suppose it's true what they say.

You can't even trust your own father.

Did you really believe

what that lunatic said?

Why not?

It's not like Halit

hasn't k*lled anybody before.

Didn't he k*ll

Didn't he sh**t Fahrettin

right in front of you?

[Esra sighs]

Uh What if Dimitri did it? Hey?

What if he's framing Halit to save

his own neck? Is that so impossible?

Why would someone so obsessed

with the flow of time want to change it?

[Esra sighs]

Because if Halit did do it,

he would have known I wasn't Peride

from the very beginning.

Are we sure he doesn't?

But

that means

he's been lying about everything.

14 MAY 1919

[Halit grunts]

[sighs]

Pera, yes?

[Sonya] You should go home.

You need to rest.

[Halit] I have rested more than enough.

I have no time to lose.

No time to lose for what, exactly?

Peride's on your mind again.

Hmm?

She didn't come and visit you once.

But I was there the whole time.

Whoa. Shhhh.

Thank you, Sonya, for everything.

- What can I do to repay you?

- Please, don't.

You don't have to repay me.

[Viennese waltz playing]

Thank God for antibiotics.

And they seem to be getting imtimate.

[chuckles]

Hopefully, I'll get rid of this soon.

[sighs]

I need to be conceived, first, but

- We must ask Halit some questions today.

- Huh?

It's the only way.

Write down exactly what I say, okay?

[sighs]

[slow jazz]

Must say, I'm remarkably impressed

with your speedy recovery, Halit.

That Turkish blood of yours

must be stronger that I thought.

It will take more than a single b*llet

to k*ll me.

[chuckles]

Maybe I should have been the one

pulling the trigger.

Well, now that you're back on top form,

let's meet at the Pera Palace tomorrow

and continue where we left off

before this unfortunate incident.

Halit, sir. Madam Peride

has sent you this. It's urgent.

[Ahmet] Did you have to call him in here?

Ahmet, Agatha Christie,

in her plays and novels,

has the suspect questioned

at the crime scene.

Say he is the m*rder*r,

it'll be obvious to us.

- Hmph.

- [knocking at door]

I think this is a bad idea.

Ahmet, please don't make me nervous.

- Get in the bathroom.

- [sighs]

[sighs]

Where I come from, you'd welcome back

someone who'd almost died.

Welcome back.

And you wouldn't summon him

to your room to say that. [grunts]

You'd go and see how he is. [sighs]

Well, never mind that.

So, this message.

It's got to be important.

Hasn't it Peride?

I'm not Peride.

Why tell me now?

[Esra] So you knew.

- Then you know Peride

- She's dead. I know.

[gasps]

Why did you k*ll her?

What? What are you talking about?

I have a witness

who saw you in this room that night.

[Halit sighs]

They can't have done.

There was no one in the room.

So you admit

you were in the room that night.

I was.

But it was too late

by the time I got here. Peride was dead.

That night,

George said he wanted me to k*ll her.

So it looked like I chased you.

ABDULLAH BROTHERS PHOTOGRAPHY

But I wasn't going to do

what he asked me to do.

I just wanted to warn her.

[knocking]

We have to talk. Open the door.

[Peride screams]

- [gasping]

- What's happening?

[Peride screaming]

[thunder crashing]

[thunder rumbling]

[Esra] So, if you didn't do it,

why did you run away?

It was better that

George believed I had done it.

Well, then

[sighs]

I mean

if it wasn't you, who was it?

[Halit sighs]

[grunting]

If you ask me, it was all planned.

When Peride came into the room,

the k*ller was already waiting for her.

[Esra] Someone who didn't want her

to stop the assassination.

[Halit sighs]

Peride

[gasps] The plot against Mustafa Kemal,

she knew all about that.

She wanted to stop George.

That's why she was

in this room that night.

What?

It's difficult. [sighs]

But k*lling her and the assassination

are part of the same thing.

Why else would anyone want to k*ll Peride?

If you're worried about Mustafa Kemal,

you don't have to be, because

I'm supposed to be his assassin.

[sighs]

You might not believe I'm a good person

because I've done

a lot of bad things, but

but about this, you can trust me.

I have information

no one else is aware of.

There was a ring, on a broken chain.

Peride had it in her hand.

Well, where is it?

- You have to show it to me.

- I've hidden it somewhere safe.

I'll bring it here tomorrow.

But now

you need to give me some information.

Two years ago, you saved my life.

I never found out the name of

that strange lady.

Tell me.

Who are you?

I don't get it. How do you know?

After that beautiful night we had

together, you disappeared completely.

The Pera Palace was my only clue, 'cause

I knew this is where you'd been staying.

So every day I'd come

hoping you were here.

Every day, I'd be here.

And finally, I saw you.

However, this lady who had been on my mind

for so long didn't seem to remember me.

Then it became clear.

She was married, with a child as well.

I was disappointed, of course.

But then I became suspicious.

Because this lady

her demeanour, everything she did,

were so different from that eccentric lady

who saved my life that day.

In this situation,

there could be only one way to explain it.

You were Peride's twin sister.

I started investigating straightaway,

and I realised I must have been right

in my presumptions.

Peride is not

one of Naim's blood relatives.

- She must have been adopted.

- [gasps]

The year this hotel was opened,

they found an abandoned baby

in a vacant room.

Her family, where she came from,

everything was complete mystery.

That baby was Peride.

And it would be perfectly believable

if there were a twin sister of Peride.

However hard I tried, it seemed

I'd never be able to find her.

That is, until I saw you again.

You were behaving like Peride

when we met, though.

I need to understand

why you behave like that.

- Now tell me what you're doing.

- I'll tell you all you need to know.

But first, you need

to hand over the ring tomorrow.

[sighs]

I'll be here first thing.

[sighs]

Oh God, Ahmet.

Wh-what beautiful night?

What was all that about, hmm?

You you saved his life?

That eccentric lady? Wh

If it wasn't Halit,

we're back to square one.

[sighs]

Tomorrow is the 15th.

İzmir's about to be occupied.

On the 16th of May,

Mustafa Kemal will be leaving Istanbul

if we can stop him from being k*lled.

[clock begins chiming]

15 MAY 1919

[slow jazz playing]

This must have been

around the k*ller's neck.

How do we find the owner. though?

Wait a few days first.

Mustafa Kemal has to get away, then

I'll be able to handle all of this myself.

You promised you'd explain everything.

Sorry. Later.

[sighs]

[door opens]

What's wrong?

[sighs] We're in the sh*t, Ahmet.

[sighs]

Tell me how we're supposed

to find the owner of this in Istanbul?

It's like looking

for a needle in a haystack!

My mother's ring.

[Sonatina in D major - Allegro vivace

by Schubert]

[chuckles]

She's quite taken with you, old boy.

[sighs]

You're familiar with her story, I presume.

- Sonya?

- Mmm.

No.

The daughter of Russian aristocrats.

Had you met her a few years ago,

you would be serving her instead.

Isn't time cruel?

Hmm.

The new weapons shipment has arrived.

It's at Mr Naim's warehouse

for the time being.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

I have a feeling that this time around,

luck will be on our side.

- Let's hope so.

- No need to worry, Halit.

We will be putting

them to good use very soon.

When?

I'll let you know.

That'll be all.

Hmm.

[sighs]

Enjoy your tea.

You're saying there's only one ring

like this in the entire world?

Yes, that's right.

You said the same thing

about the keys too.

Look at this mark.

When my mother was a child,

her grandmother got hysterical once.

She swore the ring was cursed

and grabbed it from my mother,

then tried to smash it with a stone.

[sighs] See where she damaged it.

[sighs]

I'm sure of it.

It must be her ring.

She was always telling me the story.

[sighs]

- What are you up to?

- We can do a little test. Come on.

[gasps]

[sighs] Why do we have to involve her?

Sonya? Please come here a moment.

Are you all right?

You look pale all of a sudden.

Sit down.

How did that ring end up with you?

What, this ring? Why do you wanna know?

Well

I recognise it.

Why's that?

Because it was mine.

It's an heirloom.

It's very old.

It was in the family for years.

When I arrived in Istanbul,

I had to sell it to a pawnbroker.

It fills me with sadness

to see it on somebody else.

I'd hoped I could buy it back

one day, you see.

[clears throat] Uh, well, uh

where did you sell it?

You're right. A White Russian princess

sold me a ring exactly like this.

But, sir, who bought it from you, then?

Nobody. I'm starting to think it's cursed.

Look, it's been sitting here

for two years.

[sighs] I can't sell it to anybody.

[Esra] What?

That princess told me that it was unique.

You just can't trust anyone nowadays.

They're identical. But this was unique.

Hey, Ahmet. What the hell does this mean?

None of it makes any sense.

Why don't we go to another time

and try again?

Uh, no. Don't even think about it.

[Esra sighs]

It would make things worse.

I need to talk with you. Alone.

Sorry.

You can't avoid this forever.

Find me when you're done.

[Ahmet sighs]

[Esra gasps]

[Halit sighs]

I've been waiting so long

to see you again.

I can't wait any more.

Whoever you are, I don't care.

Because the thing is

we we are meant to be with each other.

You know it, too.

I can see it in your eyes.

I need you.

And I'll do whatever I can to have you.

And I can see that you need me, too.

Destiny has brought us together.

You can't keep running away.

Stop. Don't.

[sighs]

Why?

Sonya's in love with you.

But I'm in love with you.

But I'm not in love with you.

I'm Look, we have

more pressing matters than love.

[sighs]

Didn't you say that

our w*r was just beginning?

You have a mission.

Mustafa Kemal needs you.

[sighs]

Latest on the plague!

It's spreading like wildfire!

Read all about it! Extra, extra!

Latest on the plague! Read all about it!

[sobbing]

[George] A small token of gratitude.

[cutlery clinking]

Have some, won't you?

[chuckles]

[sighs]

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

To see a princess

toiling among all these paupers.

It's heartbreaking.

You deserve so much better.

Every single day, the people you serve

walk around acting as

as if they're royalty.

No one more so

than that foul woman, Peride.

And yet she could never be like you.

[dog barking outside]

This city is crying out

for a civilising influence.

Something which has been missing

since the Turks took it from the Romans

400 years ago.

We will be that civilising influence.

I can give you your old life back.

The jewels,

the cars,

the servants.

Your standing in this world.

In return, all I ask is

one small thing.

[breathing shakily]

[grunts]

ROOMS 408 - 411

No. But if you still have something

of mine, I'd like to buy it back if I can.

My diamond bracelet. Do you remember?

Alas, the diamond bracelet was sold

a long time ago.

But your unique ring is here.

I can sell it back to you

for what I paid you for it two years ago.

[band playing up-tempo jazz]

Maybe you should slow down, sir.

We should keep our wits about us.

Tell me.

What is the heart's greatest enemy?

Love.

You should take care

never to fall into its trap.

Maybe we should do this another night?

We're gonna do it tonight.

[sighs]

[gasps]

[sighs]

[panting]

Madam, excuse me.

How are you?

You're looking well.

The the baby came all right, then?

What do you mean?

Is it a boy or girl? Tell me.

You must have mistaken me

for someone else.

Uh

He's got some nerve, this man.

He didn't even bother

leaving a guard for these arms.

Load them onto the lorries.

[man yells] Armed police!

Surrender!

You're surrounded!

Give yourselves up now!

[glass shatters]

[banging at door]

- [grunts]

- What have you done with that key?

- What are you on about? I gave them back.

- I'm missing a key!

- [choking]

- You thought I wouldn't notice, right?

- What? [groans]

- [spits]

- And you stole the ring?

- What?

You dirty thief.

Don't you feel sorry for the poor lady?

[panting]

Huh? What lady?

What lady?

Don't play games with me, Ahmet.

- I warn you.

- What lady?

Tell me now! What lady? Who?

[grunts] I don't know what her name is.

She works at the hotel.

I just bumped into her now.

- [sighs]

- [Ahmet gasping]

That night

when I came over to talk to Peride,

I saw that same woman here at the hotel.

[sighs]

She was pregnant then.

That's why her hands were swollen,

I thought.

[gasps] And that's why she had

the ring around her neck.

[sighs]

[sighs]

Betraying the Sultan

is a mortal sin, Halit.

[George] They say the price of treason

is death.

But stabbing me in the back

will cost you far more than that.

Ah-ah.

You won't be able to protect

your beloved Mustafa Kemal any more.

He will die a public death.

So will your friend Peride.

A new era is coming, dear Halit.

It's a shame

you won't be around to see it.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[door opens]

[gasps]

[grunting and gasping]

[squeals]
