Kara Para Ask – Black Money Love – Amor y diner negro – Amor de contrabando
Episode 104 #1 of 8

Huso is driving Omer and Elif back from the railroad location.
Omer holds and comforts Elif saying that it’s over. It’s hard to read Huso’s expression. He just went through some serious emotional gymnastics. Now he has to explain this to Tayyar. Omer pulls Elif’s rings out of his pocket. She is surprised and thrilled that he found them and slips them right back on. Huso looks at them through the rear-view mirror and smiles a bit. He must be happy for his brother. He is blinking back tears.

At Tayyar’s mansion, he is giving instructions to someone who will be following Nilufer. Tayyar tells him he wants to know whoever she talks to, where she goes, everything. He tells him that the henchies should bring over their goodies (I guess this means the results of the bugs they planted) so they can listen to what’s been recorded. Tayyar looks very impactado.

At the Denizer mansion, Nedret, Filiz, Levent, Can, and Hulya are sitting in the living room. Asli comes stomping in. She announces she cannot wait any longer and that she is going to the police station. Nedret tells her to calm down. Then Asli spots Elif and Omer walking toward the door. Asli hugs Elif and tells her she doesn’t know how scared she was. Levent stares at Omer, and he stares back. Levent tells him he wishes him well. Nedret asks if something happened to her and Elif tells her it did, and she doesn’t know what she would have done if it weren’t for Omer. Asli tells them to stop standing in the doorway. She leads the way. Omer tells Elif to get some rest and that he will return in the morning. She wants him to come in and sit for a while. (Nedret is watching this closely.) He tells Elif he has to interrogate Serhat. Asli calls him Columbo and thanks him. Elmer kiss and Omer agrees to keep her posted.

At the Dundar mansion, Nilufer is pacing back and forth. She appears very uncomfortable.
Fatih comes in and asks where she has been. She tells him she was in the bathroom.
Fatih: My mother called and wanted to talk, and I’ve looking been for you with the phone with no luck for over an hour.
Nilufer: I went to the bathroom upstairs. I didn’t know I had to ask permission to use the toilet, Fatih.
Fatih moves his shoulders as if trying to relax them: I’ve got good news for you. Omer has saved Elif.
Nilufer: Is she OK? Can I use your phone to call her?
Fatih tells her she is fine, but she tells him she wants to hear her voice. Fatih tells her that he doesn’t think that is a good idea at all. He reminds her how harshly Elif spoke to her. He tells her they will face this together. Fatih leaves her in her room.
Tayyar is putting on his jacket. Fatih asks where he is going this time of night. He replies he’ll be back soon. Fatih, in an irritated tone, tells his father he didn’t ask when he was coming back but where he was going. Tayyar asks if he’s questioning his father. Fatih shakes his head and says they will go together. Tayyar asks him why and Fatih says he wants to work with him as he used to. Tayyar looks very rattled. Tayyar tells him not to worry about work because he’s on his honeymoon right now. He won’t have any free time in the future.
Fatih responds: Tayyar, stop with this empty talk. I didn’t give you a kidney for nothing. I’ll make you pay for it. You promised me that you were going to make me famous, that Fatih Dundar would be known.

Episode 104 #2 of 8
Tayyar tells him he’s going to but not that night: You think the only thing that keeps me busy is work. I have a life of my own, too. I’m going to see a lady this evening.
Fatih: Then I want a meeting in the morning. We can celebrate me being back at work at luncheon. I have to have something to do. I’m very bored. I have to be back at the grindstone.
Tayyar smiles a bit and pats him on the arm: Fine, fine, it’s very good that you’re ambitious. But listen to your Dad and don’t rush it. Work is always there. You are the most powerful candidate for my throne.
Fatih doesn’t look convinced.

Elvan is with her daughter-in-law, Melike.
Melike is thrilled with news from the telephone: Oh, thank goodness, Mom! Omer has saved Elif!
Elvan claps her hands in excitement. She is beaming.
Melike thanks Pelin for calling them. Hasan peeks out from his room to see what the fuss is about.
Elvan asks if Elif is OK. Melike tells her she is fine and that Omer has driven her home already. Elvan again is exuberantly thankful.
Hasan comes out praising his brave uncle and says he wants to grow up and be like him.
Melike tells him to go to bed. Everyone is in a good mood. [Probably not Fatma, who we are fortunate not to see.]

At the police station, Omer arrives and asks if they have brought Serhat back, and Arda tells him yes. He asks what Pelin and Arda are doing.
Pelin: We are looking at the email coming in from Emre.
Omer: Is he OK? Where has he been all this time?
Pelin: I think there’s something weird in the email. It says: “Pelin, I got scared after that night. I won’t be in Turkiye for a while. Don’t try to find me where I am. I won’t let you know. I want to cut connection for a while. Take good care of yourself.”
Omer: Are we sure that Emre wrote this?
Pelin: I think not. It’s all nonsense. He hasn’t even mentioned the evidence that he found.
Arda: But hasn’t he given the evidence to Ipek?
Pelin: He would have wanted to know the outcome. He would have wanted to know if they evidence was any good.
Omer: Pelin, write a response. Tell him that he must give us proof that he’s OK. Then let’s see what happens. I’m going to the interrogation room. I have a meeting with Serhat.
Arda tells him he will finish that report and then he’ll join Omer.
Pelin is still worrying. Arda tells her not to worry about it. Emre’s like that. He’s like a teenager and thinks he is living a TV series or something.
Pelin: I hope you’re right. But, it didn’t seem like that. She drafts an email back to him:
“Emre, it can’t just be with two lines. I’m very concerned about you. Please send at least a picture to show that you are OK.” Pelin ponders the situation.

In the interrogation room, Omer and Serhat face each other. Serhan’s right hand is thickly bandaged. Omer picks Serhat up with both hands and head butts him. Then he punches him. Serhat looks at him with a weird expresssion. Omer: I just wanted to warn you before you try to go near the woman I love again.
Serhat: You said the same thing years ago, and look what happened. And then I married that precious girlfriend of yours, didn’t I? I made a baby. You couldn’t do anything.

Episode 104 #3 of 8
Omer lifts him up with both hands again. He holds him against the wall and tells him to shut up.
Omer: Racin gave you away and he kidnapped a man. If you want to get comfortable in prison you had better tell me about Tayyar Dunder.
Serhat: My son is my only concern. Tell Ipek that I’m going to get my son back from her.
Omer tells him to sit down.
Omer: Did you have anything to do with Bahar’s murder? Is Tayyar using you to launder his businesses? Say something.
Serhat: If Ipek could see how you look right now, she would be very disappointed. You eventually found me. But all you do is ask about Tayyar.
Omer: Ah, now you mention Tayyar. So you admit that you know Tayyar. Interesting.
Serhat: Ever wonder why Ipek left you? Why did she choose me? You were making a lot of noise about her that night. Shouting her name, uncovering that wound. The wound you never forgot. I pity you. But don’t be afraid. Ask me. I’ll joyfully tell you why Ipek chose me, and not you.
Omer: I hope you realize when I’m done with you, you won’t want to live a day longer.

Tayyar is in the usual meeting place with Husseyn. Husseyn suggests he likes this place with dirt floors better than his own house.
Tayyar: You say you’ve sorted everything out now? You are being defeated by your own conscience again.
Husseyn: I didn’t do what you wanted and I don’t regret it.
Tayyar: Husseyn, don’t harm even an ant from now on.
Tayyar then goes on to discuss Husseyn entering the next world. Maybe he should repent. He predicts that Husseyn’s end will come at his brother’s hand, very soon.
Husseyn looks seriously at Tayyar: I’d give me life for him. I accept everything, good and bad, that comes from my brother.
Tayyar: You talk like a hero.
Tayyar goes on to tell him that killing her was the only solution to the situation.
Husseyn: I couldn’t do it! I couldn’t destroy my brother’s heart again. Do you understand that?
Tayyar: That brotherly love will kill you one day.
Husseyn: There were very happy when they were reunited. I couldn’t do it and I know that I never will do it.
Tayyar: Let’s see. What are they going to do with the pictures on my memory stick that you lost? We’re all going to eventually see if your brother will tear you into little pieces. I hope you don’t think brotherly love is going to stop that. It’s not!
Husseyn face shows that he is impactado.

Back with Omer and Serhat in the Interrogation room
Omer: Are you helping Tayyar with his money laundering?
Serhat: You know, you look very old. I remember your face. You used to look so much younger. [IMHO, Engin looks particularly handsome in this scene!]
Serhat continues: Did you fall apart after Ipek left you?
Omer: How are you involved in the illegal transplants?
Serhat: Of course, one always dedicates one’s self to work when one is unsuccessful with women. Let’s see if you’re going to be able to keep Elif in your hands. It seems to be promising, but let’s see.
Omer: Everything I’ve predicted about you has proven to be right. Maybe Tayyar is making you do his dirty business. He’s using you as a laundering stooge. You can’t play the big game, Serhat. You’d be scared to death.
Serhat: You are the ghost that I’ve been quarreling with. I gave a good life to that stupid Ipek. But I couldn’t save her from you. But I’m grateful to you. You have given her the biggest punishment of all. Elif is very beautiful, isn’t she?
Serhat finally has goaded Omer into reacting. He puts his hands around Serhat’s throat.
Omer: If you mention Elif again I’ll kill you.

Serhat: You can’t do anything; you’re an honest man.
Finally, Arda comes into the room, followed by two lawyerly types.
Arda: Omer, Omer!
One of them, asks: What is happening? What do you think you’re doing?
Omer shrugs: We were just having a friendly chat.
Arda: Omer, Chief Ender from the Organized Crimes Department has taken over the file.
Omer: I should interrogate him myself.
Ender tells Omer they are taking over now, and they’ll inform him if something happens that concerns Omer. He goes on to say have been pursuing Serhan for many years now and from now on Serhat will be the subject of the Organized Crimes Department.
Serhat: How sad, we were having such a nice conversation. But it’s been great to see each other after so many years. Don’t worry, I won’t let you go anywhere, Omer.
The other man, who looks like a lawyer, speaks up: Listen, Omer, don’t forget that the subject has rights, too. Nobody can treat him like this. Calm down. Please leave the room immediately.
Arda takes Omer out of the room.
Then the two men take Serhat out of the room as well.

At Elvan’s house
Husseyn wakes Hasan: I gave you a task, did you do it?
Hasan: What?
Then he tells him he watched his mom and she cleaned, cooked, etc. Husseyn tells him she always does those things. Didn’t she do something else? Hasan says sometimes she takes the laptop from my sister and sits in her room. Husseyn asks if she had a flash drive? He describes one to Hasan. Hasan says he never saw what she was doing. She kept the door shut.
Husseyn gets up to leave and Hasan reminds him of his promise to buy a bicycle as he promised. Husseyn says he will.

At the Dundar mansion, Nilufer is sitting and thinking as she looks at picture of her sisters.
Fatih comes bursting in and sits on the vanity table stool. He looks very uncomfortable.
Nilufer: Are you OK?
Fatir: I am not. I think I can’t be OK these days.
Nilufer presses him for more information. She asks why he is so angry.
Fatih: Tayyar Dundar is worrying me. He wants to keep me away from work. But he had better think again.
Nilufer: Fatih, I with you wouldn’t get involved in that dirty business, and not to hurt anyone.
Fatih: What shall I do, Nilufer?
Nilufer: There are lots of things to do to earn money.
Fatih: I don’t care about money. My father took my kidney away. Can he pay it off with money? I want Tayyar Dundar’s power. He’s enjoying his life at the top of the empire. I want my share, I’ll take what I desire. His reign will end. Mr. Fatih’s reign will start. Be prepared.
He paces back and forth.
Nilufer: I love Fatih, not Mr. Fatih.
Fatih: Nilufer, have I ever told you a lie? You knew what sort of man I am when you loved me and when you married me. Don’t ever try to change me. Just trust me. A famkly man willnever emerge out of this man. (He band down to look into her eyes). Understand?
Nilufer looks unhappy with this declaration.

Episode 104 #5 of 8

Back at Elvan’s, Melike is not sleeping well. She hears Husseyn enter the room and she turns to look asleep.
He turns on the bright light and calls her name a few times before roughly grabbing her arm to wake her. He starts looking in her hands and other places for what she is hiding. She asks what she would hide. She asks if he’s gone crazy?
Melike: How can you wake me up like this?
She starts to get up and he grabs her roughly and asks where she is going. Then he grabs her by the hair and yanks her across the bed: You’ve been my wife for years, so I know when you’re telling the truth and when you’re not. He finally wrests the flash drive out of her hand. He hits her hard and asks: Who are you?

Elif is sitting in her room. Her phone rings. It’s Nilufer. After letting it ring a bit, Elif answers.
Nilufer asks how she is doing.
Elif says she is fine.
Nilufer: Are you sure?
Elif: Not too bad.
Nilufer: You’re going to get better. It’s always like that at the beginning. You can’t control how you feel. Listen to me. You’ll hear voices in your head. You’ll suspect everybody that comes up behind you whilst walking on the street. You’ll be frightened. But everything will pass with time.
Elif: It doesn’t mean anything that you are telling me all of this.
Elif continues to rant about Nilufer leaving with those people.
Nilufer: I have reasons for being here.
Elif: Omer told me about your plan. Why don’t we meet and talk?
Nilufer: Look, they are suspicious about me. I can’t see you. It’s dangerous. Look, you and I are both safe. Trust me.
Elif: Don’t ask me that. That plan is over, Nilufer! You need to leave that place. Even when my arms were tied, I was thinking about you because you are in danger.
Nilufer: Good night.
Elif: Don’t sacrifice yourself, please. It’s not worth it if something happens to you.
Nilufer: You need to distance yourself from me. If you want me to be safe, stay away from me.
Nilufer hangs up, while Elif keeps saying her name into the phone. Asli arrives to hear this.
Asli asks if Nilufer had called. Elif nods yes. Asli says that Nilufer is shameful. She is finally worried about Elif. How incredible. Elif tells Asli it’s not what she is thinking. Asli’s eyes grow wide and she tells Elif she doesn’t want to know anything about it. She tells Elif not to tell her because it doesn’t interest her. All she cares about is that Elif is there and safe. Asli tells Elif she copes with everything. They can then move forward.
Asli is ready for bed and gets in bed.
Asli: At least now we can sleep. I’m so tired because I couldn’t sleep while the beautiful princess was kidnapped.
Elif: I was the one who was kidnapped, not you.
Asli: Oh, you talk a lot, Ms. Columbo. We’ll stay together tonight because crazy me missed you a lot.
Elif: I missed you a lot, too. I missed having small fights with you.
Asli offers to stroke Elif’s hair. Elif laughs and asks how much it will cost this time. Asli tells her it’s free this time. The girls settle in to the bed, and Asli strokes Elif’s hair. It’s a very touching scene of the two sisters.

In contrast, we see Melike in tears and terrified after the beating by Huso. He enters and brings her some ice, telling her it will help her heal.
Melike: How are you going to heal my soul, Huso?
He looks apologetic an tells her it’s her stubbornness that caused this [typical wife beater comment.] She relaxes and takes the ice.
Huso: I’m also in pain here. Do you think I want this. But you are driving me crazy. Why are you touching my work things? Why didn’t you answer me when I asked you? Why are you keeping secrets behind my back? Tell me, Melike. Wouldn’t any husband do the same thing?
He reaches for her and she recoils. He tells her not to be afraid.
Then he gets to the main thing he wants to know, did she look at what was in the flash drive?
She tells him no, that she couldn’t open it. Huso stares intently at her, with a most serious expression. He tells her OK.
Next we see him outside walking toward the old well. He damages the flash drive with a rock and then throws it down the well. He covers the well again.

At the Denizer mansion the next morning, Elif enters the dining area and asks Hulya if Nedret is there. Hulya tells her they left early. Elif enjoys her coffee and looks at the paper featuring an article about Tayyar Dundar. She reads some of it aloud: “I had a health problem a while ago, that’s why I’m resigning as the chairman of the foundation. We will elect a new chair, someone who the children can look up to, like me.”
Elif frowns and tosses the paper aside.
Then Asli comes in, talking with a blonde guest about a project they are working on that, according to Asli, must be cheerful and heartwarming. Elif greets her and Asli mentions that before she objects to her project, can you say Happy Birthday or something?
Elif is horrified that she forgot her birthday! They hug and Asli tells her she gets credit for celebrating her birthday even if it’s by force.
Elif greets her companion. Elif tells Asli it looks like there’s going to be a party. They both think it’s a great idea.
Elif gets her things and leaves.

At Elvan’s home, we see Elvan with a head scarf sitting on the couch as Fatma enters. Fatma is crying, and Elvan asks why. Fatma tells her that her daughter, Hattice, is leaving. She has a two-year scholarship to London. Elvan tells her not to worry, but to be happy. It’s a wonderful opportunity for her daughter. She tells her they will grow old together and they have a roof over their heads, so be happy. Elvan sends her to wash her face.

Episode 104 # 7 of 8

On a street, we see Arda talking on the phone saying he understands. Omer is there and asks if Serhat’s prosecution has finished. Arda says not yet: But I’m telling you, they won’t escape Chief Ender. He will definitelhy go to prison.
Omer: What is this? We caught that man with our own sweat, and we can’t even interrogate him.
Arda tells him that he’s in their hands, one way or another, and that Omar needs to stop thinking about it. Focus on your happiness. Arda then asks what he thinks if he gets him a grill as a house-warming present (for the pink house). Omer asks why a present! He’s already in debt enough to him. Arda tells him not to talk nonsense.
Omer: You will never regret giving me my security deposit. (It seems that Arda borrowed to do this because he didn’t have ready cash.)
Arda tells him it’s a big step and that he wants a barbeque party every week. Omer tells him not to get too far ahead, because he still has to meet with the realtor and sign the contract.
Arda: I don’t know how to ask this, but will the loan be enough for this? You have rented a house which is more expensive that your budget allows. And there are the wedding costs, etc.
Omer: For the first time in my life, I’m not thinking about any of that. If problems come up, I’ll deal with them. All I want to see is Elif happy.
Omer drives off.

We see Nedret meeting with Huso in a restaurant. It was at her request, apparently, and Huso tells her it must be quick as he has work.
Nedret: Good Morning. What’s the matter? Did you get out of bed on the wrong side?
Huso tells her to quit with the small talk and tell him why they are there.
Nedret: I’ve been thinking of something that could help us both. I think I’ve found a good solution.
Huso: What?
Nedret: I’ll get Ipek to go to Omer and tell him he is Yagiz’s father.
Huso starts to laugh, saying she must be crazy. Ipek wouldn’t do such a thing.
Nedret: Of course she would. She’s in love with Omer.
Huso tells her that was years ago and that nothing remains of that love. Nedret tells him she never does things she isn’t sure about. She says Ipek is still in love with Omer. Where would she find a better father? He would protect her kid against Serhat.
Huso asks her why she called the sudden meeting. She tells him it’s important that Omer sees more of Yagiz and it needs to be witnessed by both Ipek and Elif.
Huso, with sarcasm: So, what am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to take them to play in the park?
Nedret: Be careful before you make fun of me. You’re the one who’s with Ipek all day long. We don’t have any other option, Husseyn.
The wheels in Husseyn’s head are starting to spin.

Elif is sitting in a restaurant and Omer joins her. He seems in a hurry, but Elif tells him to enjoy some tea. He reaches for her and tells her they need to go.
Elif: Sit down. Just for a minute.
Omer relents.
Elif: Besides, you haven’t told me about last night. Give me some hope at least. Say that you made Serhat talk. Tell me it’s just a matter of time that we can get rid of all this pain.
Omer says he needs more time.
Elif: We won’t be able to catch that man like this, even if they give you a lifetime. Whatever he does, he gets away with it. Nilufer is still with them. She called me yesterday. I was so sad when I heard her voice.
Omer: You’re absolutely right. I’m so angry with myself. I haven’t been able to make Tayyar pay for what he’s done.
Elif: What should we do? Give up?
Omer: Never. (He thinks for a bit.) I still have Husseyn. I can use him as a trap to catch Tayyar. I have no other option.
Elif, looking very serious: To what extent do you think your brother is involved in all of this?
Omer: I don’t know, Elif. I think he’s doing Tayyar’s dirty work. I think he’s hiding Tayyar’s files at the police station somehow. He’s destroying evidence. He’s protecting Tayyar.
Elif: I asked you about this before, but you didn’t answer. Why would Huso do something like this? Is Tayyar threatening him? Or is there something bad about Husseyn in that CD in Tayyar’s house and maybe this is how Tayyar’s making him do whatever he wants?
Omer: Husseyn once did a favor for him, and now he’s gone and built himself a second life.
Elif: I don’t understand.
Omer: Husseyn Demir has a girlfriend and had a child with her. He gave the child my late father’s name. He’s gone and bought them a nice house. Poor Melike. She thinks her husband works long hours at the police station, meanwhile he’s having an affair.
Elif: I can’t believe it.
Omer: Elif, let’s go, please.
He pays and they leave.

Nilufer is walking down a street. A bus drives up and Mert gets out. Mert walks away, and she runs after him telling him to wait.
Mert: Nilufer, we don’t have anything to talk about.
Nilufer: Mert, I need your help.
She repeats this as she follows him, and Mert finally turns to face her.
