Weekend Schedule 100-102

Friday Episode 100 Babachita
Saturday Episode 101 Dondi
Sunday Episode 102 Darcy

We have something to think about. Kat in SC has offered to join us in this summarizing project. That would make four of us. We’d probably start this in very late March or early April.

Some ideas for how to do this:

1. Four-day: Add a fourth episode to our “weekend” viewing. Monday-Tuesday might work. I could easily switch to that if Kat would prefer my current Fri-Sat. Or not, if she wants Mon-Tues.

2. Three-day: Keep the 3-day schedule and rotate so one gets a week off every fourth week. This would mean we’d no longer always have the days we are accustomed to because it would rotate. (See #3 for another way to do this.)

3. Three-day: Keep our days, with Kat taking my Fri-Sat. I would rotate taking F-S one week, S-S the second week, S-M the third week and be off (or not) the fourth week.

4. Two-day: Reduce the weekend to just two episodes, Sat and Sun, and have two teams of two who can split their schedule to their liking. This gives a week-on-week off, A-B alternating schedule.

My personal favorite is #1 because I am anxious to get to the end, so doing four a week gets us there faster. But, I am retired and have more time and flexibility than some.

Let me know what you think. I’m sure there are other ways we can do it. I’m easy and can adjust to whatever!

I'm also anxious to finish. I would prefer a weekend recap day as that is when I have more free time. I actually have 3 days off next week as my daughter is taking a family vacation to Dollywood for the grands birthdays/spring break. Sunday night into Monday I think I could commit to. My recaps will likely be much shorter as I usually hit the high points and don't quote a lot because I'm not THAT fluent....

Grettel Valdez does an excellent job of portraying evil antagonists & despicable characters.

Kat, I think Sunday night into Monday works because Darcy usually publishes Sundays during the day. As long as you hold off until she’s published hers, that works. She technically has Sunday to Monday, but usually posts Sunday, as I said. I wouldn’t want Darcy to feel pressure.

Do you write yours in Word or something like I do? I can do mine ahead of time at my convenience and then cut and paste it into the blog when it’s my time. If so, you could do it when you like and then post after Darcy’s is on the blog. We are lucky that we can access kpa any time, unlike current tns and dizis.

If this works, let me know when you want to start. Your summaries are great. No dialogue needed. Just fyi, it’s on Dailymotion dubbed in English.

Babachita I write on my cell phone! I have a laptop I never use. I've tried writing in notes and importing the page but I have a hard time. So I have a general feel for how long the comment can be to not be too long. It's usually 1/3 of an episode, lol. I will post later Sunday or Monday.
 

Ok! Works for me. Glad you’re on board!

Episode 100 #1 of 7

We are at the Centennial Mark! One Hundred Episodes! Hard to believe! Well done us!!!

Tayyar with Nedret:
Tayyar: I think of Nilufer as entrusted to me. She is my daughter now. You are welcome to visit her anytime you want in my house. Although I’m not sure if she’ll want to after all this trouble.
Nedret: At some point, we’ll talk about this. She is my niece, and of course she will want to see me. When this all calms down, everything will be fine. But you are right in what you said before, I am the leader of my family. They have been alone for a long time, but now I’m here to protect them. I will be the protector of my family, and I will not let anyone hurt them in any way.
Tayyar looks at her very seriously.
Nedret: Elif! Let’s go. Asli, let’s go. Have a good day. (To Tayyar)
Tayyar: Take care of yourself. (That could be good wishes or a threat; knowing Tayyar, it’s probably both.) Nedret walks to the gate.

Tayyar plays with his moustache, making his mouth look funny. I think he is lost in thought.
Inside his mansion, we see Nilufer thinking as Fatih walks up. He asks if she is OK. She nods that she is.
Nilufer: I will be better.
Fatih sits next to her and pulls her face towards his: We knew this would happen. We both knew it. Niufer tells him that what they think doesn’t matter to her: I was prepared for this to happen. Can I go wash my face? (Fatih nods.)
As Nilufer walks away, we see her face is full of anguish. She locks the bathroom door. She cries as she looks at her face and then just collapses in sadness.

At the pier, Elif is fussing to Omer: I can’t believe Nilufer did this. I can’t understand it.
Omer: Elif, this is my fault.
Elif turns and stares at Omer.
Elif: Your fault?
Omer: Look, this isn’t what she and I agreed to. She promised me that she wasn’t going to marry.
Elif: Wait a minute. Since when did you know about this marriage?
Omer: Yesterday, when I went to your house and I asked that we talk. She told me that Fatih wanted to marry her. She said she tried to tell you, but that you wouldn’t listen to her.
Then, she said she had decided to get into Tayyar’s house to spy on them.
Elif: Did she go crazy? How did she think of this? What a terrible idea.
Omer: Pinar was already working for me in secret. She found a CD with the name of my brother written on it. Fatih trapped her when she was going to bring it to me. Afterwards, she told all of this to Nilufer, and she thought that when he proposed, this would let her recover the CD.
Elif: And you said, perfect! You told her to go for it?
Omer: No, Elif. Don’t underestimate me. Of course, I said it was a bad idea. But she said that even if I didn’t want it, she was going to do it anyway. After a while I stopped fighting with her. I had to accept it. I didn’t have another option. But there wasn’t going to be any marriage. She was only going to go to Tayyar’s house for dinner and to recover the CD. Only that. Just this one time.
Elif: You were going to accept that she got into that house full of psychopaths.
Omer: No, Elif. We were going to be waiting at the door and were going to look out for her. She promised that she wouldn’t marry. I took her in a taxi myself, and she was only going to go to him when I said to. Do you really think I would have let such a thing to happen to her?
Elif: It’s just that you should have told me because it had to do with my sister.
Omer: That’s true.

Episode 100 #2 of 7
Elif: Agreeing with me doesn’t do any good, Omer. Now my sister is stuck in a house with two crazy people. I’m going right now to take her out of that place. I can’t leave her there without doing something.
Omer: Elif, wait.
Elif: No, Omer. You wait, if you want to.
Omer: Understand we can’t just force Nilufer to get out of there. It won’t be easy if she doesn’t want to.
Elif: Then, I’ll tell the truth to Fatih that his wife is deceiving him. That this was planned. That the only thing Nilufer wanted was to find that stupid CD.
Omer: All this will accomplish is that Fatih will be really angry at her and hurt her. Is that what you want?
Elif: Omer, Nilufer was kidnapped again by Fatih. How do you think I can live knowing she is with them?
Omer: Elif, Nilufer will get out of that place but not by force.
She has to want to do so. If not, all we get is that she returns. Understand that she needs to act like you, too. She also wants to save the family. If anything, she’s trying to be like you.
Elif: Nilufer is in love with him.
Omer: No, she isn’t.
Elif: And you can’t know that. Can one stop loving like that? How do you know that this isn’t just an excuse to be with him and that we are the ones who are being fooled? How can you be so sure that this is not how it is? Maybe she is just looking for how to be with him. She’s always wanted to be with him. It’s impossible that you could know what she is thinking. That is what gives me anguish. Can you understand me a little, why I feel so desperate here?
Omer looks anguished and watches Elif as she walks away.

At the Denizer offices, Mert enters his office with flowers.
Mert: How are you?
Demet: Hello.
Mert puts the orchids on her desk. She moves them to his desk.
Mert: I thought with the orchids I could make you smile.
Demet: I’m allergic to pollen.
Mert brings the orchids back: They’re not open yet.
Mert pulls cotton candy out of his back pocket: Maybe this can make you smile.
She throws it in the trash and tells him she doesn’t want the candy floss either.
Mert: Don’t do this to me.
Demet: Mert, it’s better if we talk about deliveries or your appointments because we no longer have anything else in common to talk about. Have I made myself clear?
Mert, sighs: The little girl has turned into a tough rock.
Levent sticks his head in and asks if Mert knew that Nilufer got married. Mert asks to whom. Levent says: To your brother.
Suddenly Demet has a happier countenance.

At the police station, Pelin is fiddling with things, Arda is pacing, and Ipek wonders why Tolga isn’t there yet.
Husseyn comes in and asks what they are all doing there. You stay here all day from one day to the next. What kind of work is that?
Ipek: You told us to take some rest.
He tells her to hold her tongue. Don’t you say anything. Didn’t I tell you to rest? You’ve got no self-control.
He asks Arda if they have found anything.
Arda: No, we’ve been sitting like this since yesterday.
Husseyn: Oh, yeah? Other people don’t think so. Ipek came yesterday, the kids told me. She met with Emre.

Babachita
 

Episode 100 #3 of 7
Arda: Oh, so you know about that. And you know about Emre. He found some evidence for the file and brought it to us. We apparently lost it and haven’t been able to get hold of him.
Husseyn: You lost it! Are you so stupid? What did Emre find?
Ipek: It happened because of me. I lost it before we even looked at it. Omer removed the videos and now we can’t even reach him.
Husseyn: What can you expect? How did you lose it? Did you drop it in the toilet or tear it up by mistake?
Tolga comes and tells them he can’t reach Emre: Here are the addresses you requested.
Husseyn: What addresses?
Arda hems and haws: Just possible addresses Emre might have gone to.
Husseyn: Good, check them. If you work like this, I know what to expect. Losing evidence. Stupid people.
Husseyn leaves them and goes into his office with a frowny face.

Arda: Let’s share Arif’s addresses and let Omer know about this.
Tolga says he will take the first address.
Ipek: If we find Arif, we may also find Serhat.
Pelin: We’ll find both Serhat and your son. Don’t worry about this, OK?
Ipek looks very worried.

Mert is walking down the hill to Tayyar’s home. Mert can see Fatih and Nilufer in the window and is frowning at this sight. He finally turns around to leave and walk back up the hill and finds Tayyar approaching. Father and son stare at one another.

On a stakeout, Arda, Pelin, and Ipek are watching one of the addresses they have. Tolga has gone in to see who lives there. Ipek asks if Omer will join them. Arda says he will join them if they’re sure. First they need to be sure Arif lives here. Tolga has returned to the car: We found our man. Arif must be very hungry. He’s enjoying two large pizzas at the moment.
Ipek: Are you sure it’s our man?
Tolga: Yes, I’m sure. He even tipped me.
Pelin: Then let’s inform Omer. Arda places a call.

Tayyar is running after Mert down the hill toward the Dundar mansion, telling him to stop.
Mert: Don’t call me son!
Tayyar: I actually have two sons. Come home and live with your father like your brother is.
Mert says that Tayyar must prefer Fatih because he looks and acts just like him.
Tayyar: I love you too, son. I raised you myself. I’ve done everything for you. I’ve done nothing for Fatih.
Mert: So, you’re compensating for this by giving Fatih the woman I love in return?
Tayyar: They love each other. They’d still have married even if I’d said no.
Mert: It was I who loved her first, Dad. You’ve seen what I’ve done for her. I’ve done everything I could.
Tayyar: That’s where you made a mistake, son. You’re trying to change yourself into a hard man so Nilufer would love you. Just be yourself.
Mert: I feel ashamed to have blood ties with you. I’ll make both you and Fatih pay for this. I’ll sue you and take my fair share from both of you.
Tayyar is very impactado.

Omer and Elif are on the pier. Omer finishes a phone call saying he’ll be there right away.
Omer: Elif, it sounds like they found Arif’s home address. I’m going there now. If we find him, we’ll catch Tayyar and then your sister will be completely safe.
Elif: If you had told me this from the beginning, this wouldn’t be happening now, Omer.
Omer: Elif, you’re right. I made a mistake. But, I give you my word. Even if this should lead to my death, I’ll get your sister out of there.

Episode 100 #4 of 7
Elif: I want to be on my own for a while.
Omer watches her walk away with a painful expression.

Mert is walking very fast toward some benches by the water. He takes a seat and clenches and unclenches his hands. He takes out his wallet and looks at a picture of Nilufer for a long time before tearing it into pieces and throwing them into the water.

We see the car with Arda, Ipek, and Pelin. Pelin tells them Tolga is waiting at the end of the street.
Ipek: Why don’t we just break in? If he escapes, I won’t have any chance of finding my son.
Arda: Calm down. We’ll break in after Omer comes. In a few moments, Yaz (short for Yagiz) will be with us.
Arda looks at Ipek for a moment and asks: Would you have named your son Yaz if you and Omer had a son when you were together?
Pelin: Ipek, is there something you’re hiding about Yagiz? Something about his father’s identify, maybe?
Ipek: What exactly do you mean?
Arda: What do we mean? We are asking you to tell us if there is something we should know. You are Omer are our friends. We don’t want you to have any regrets in the future.
Ipek thinks. Then Omer gets in the car.
Omer: What’s up? What’s the situation?

In his office, Husseyn is on the phone with Nedret.
Husseyn: Hello, Nedret. You were right. I’ve got good news for you. You know Sirdar, he did the DNA test. I used my ID card. You’ll have it in an hour.
Nedret: That’s the best news I’ve had all day. Meet me at the café where we met last time.
Husseyn: Good, I’ll be there in 2 hours or so.
After hanging up, Nedret is thinking hard.

The team is entering the home they were staking out. No one is in the living areas, but finally they find a man in bed. Omer: Don’t move, Police!
They disarm and cuff him. He looks at Ipek.
Ipek: Hi, What’s up? You must be feeling bad after what happened yesterday.
Arif: Kill me. Shoot me in the head, otherwise they’ll kill me anyway.
Omer asks him who would kill him, Tayyar?: It’s really interesting that everyone goes all quiet when they hear Tayyar’s name. He just cut this guy loose. Don’t be afraid, man. We’re not going to give you away. Just do as you’re told and Tayyar won’t hear about it
Arif: I don’t know who you’re talking about.
Omer: I know, of course you do. But I want someone else now, not Tayyar.
Arif, looking at Ipek: Who do you want?

At the Dundar mansion
Tayyar: I want it to be a wonderful visit. It’s going to be a welcome to my son and daughter-in-law. Where’s Nilufer?
Fatih strides into the room: She wanted to rest. The Denizer family must have exhausted her.
Tayyar says it’s fine if she rests. She needs to feel at home here. That also goes for Fatih.
Tayyar: I’m happy when you’re happy.
While they are talking, Nilufer is already snooping in the mansion’s office. She recalls Omer’s instructions to find the CD. She looks in the shelves and finds a safe. Then she hears Fatih telling her dinner’s ready.
She leaves the office and, as she leaves, looks back at the office. She sees the cabinet with the safe. Is she leaving it as she found it?

Episode 100 #5 of 7

Arda, Pelin, Ipek, Omer, and Arif.
Pelin is trying to locate something on a computer map.
Arif keeps looking at Ipek.
Pelin says they are ready to go.
Omer gives Arif a phone and tells him to keep Serhat talking for a while so we can get a signal.
Arif: No, he’s not stupid. He’ll know we are up to something.
Omer: I can talk to him if that’s what you want, to keep him on the phone, but then I’ll have to smash your face! (Omer is getting testy here.)
Arif: Go on, I’m told you have a long history with Serhat. He told me he once took your wife from you.
That provoked Omer as it was intended and he punches Arif.
Arda: Omer, stop!
Arif: Give me two more punches until I no longer have a mouth to speak.
Arda: Calm down. Think about Ipek’s son.
Arda gives the phone to Arif and tells him to call his boss.
It must be his phone, because “Serhat Abi” is in it. He calls it.
Serhat finally answers: Hello.
Arif: Serhat, this is Arif.
Serhat: I’ve been looking forward to hearing from you. What happened yesterday? Did you make your boss happy?
Arif: Yes, I did, but I couldn’t complete your order. I couldn’t kill the woman.
Ser: Why?
Arif: Don’t worry, I’ll kill her. I’ll finish what I started.
Arda gives him a sign to cut off the call, or maybe to change the subject. They need him talking so they can locate him.
Everyone looks very serious.
Arif and Ipek continue to stare at one another.
Arif is still taking to Serhat. They told me about a couple of men that will come from Dubai for this plan.
Serhat: We’ll talk when they’re here. I’ll say hi to you from the boss.
Pelin signals she has the caller located. Omer grins.
Serhat tells Arif to take it easy. Arif tells him regards, my friend.
They hang up.
Omer: Good news, Ipek. We found your son.


Elif drives up to the pink house and sits, looking at the house, thinking for a long time.

At Elvan’s home, Melike enters her room and finds Huso. She goes to get him pajamas, but Husseyn says: Don’t, I’m going to the station.
Melike looks at him incredulously: Why? I made your favorite meal for you because you said you were coming home early. The kids are missing you so much.
Husseyn: Aren’t you going to ask for more money?
Melike: For goodness sake, you think I bore your children for money? I treat your mom like she’s mine. I have money, thank you for asking. Demet has some money. At least she cares for her mom.
Husseyn: Same old story, say whatever you want. By the way, how much money did she draw out? It’s you, you who made her do that. You force her to do these things. I don’t want to ever hear such a thing again. Here you are, this is the last time. He throws money on the shirt he dropped on the floor.

Episode 100 #6 of 7
Melike inhales the aroma from the shirt and holds it close, thinking sad thoughts.
Elvan to Husseyn: We haven’t seen either of you for a long time.
Huseyn: Because we’re working, mother.
Elvan gives a container of pancakes to Husseyn and tells him to leave some for Omer, too. At least I see you once in a while. I never see Omer at all. Tell him that I’m miss him. Tell him his sister-in-law Melike is sorry and misses him so very much.
Husseyn smiles and promises.
Fatma is knitting and listening to all this.
Husseyn: What will you do when they get married, mother? They will stop coming.
Elvan: I can get used to it as long as he’s happy with Elif.
Fatma: Why don’t you let him be henpecked. Everything is worth it if the bride is rich. Shame on you, shame on you.
Husseyn wants to go after her and argue but Elvan restrains him.
Husseyn: I can’t understand how I don’t go crazy. I’ll become a saint with all this patience, I tell you. [Yeah, right!]

Arif tells them he did everything they asked and now they are supposed to let him go. Tolga asks, sarcastically, if he wants a five-star hotel.
Omer: We need to keep him safe and quiet. If we take him to the station now, Tayyar will know we are on to him.
Tolga promises to take care of this.
Omer: He’s your problem, now.
Arif laughs and says: It’s a weird world if you can’t trust the police. [That made me laugh.]

Melike is still holding the shirt of Husseyn’s. Demet comes in and says: Do you know what happened today? I was doing what you told me. I didn’t pander to him. But today came the biggest news of all, Nilufer is no longer competition. Melike is crying, and Demet finally notices. Melike throws the shirt to the ground and falls on the bed crying. Demet asks her what’s wrong. She goes to get her some water. Melike goes and picks up the shirt again, and what do you know, a thumb drive fell out of the pocket!

At the police station, Husseyn walks toward his office, and someone comes up and says he just came from the lab that did the DNA. He gives Husseyn the report. Husseyn is very pleased and tells him to get something to drink at the canteen. He tells them to put it on his tab.

Elif is walking on a restaurant patio looking out toward the Bosphorus. It’s nighttime. She is crying.

The team is approaching Serhat’s hideout. Omer tells them to turn out the lights. Pelin wants to hurry, but Omer tells them they need to be cool, not in a hurry. They pull up near a gate. They can see a house in the background. Arda verifies they have backup coming.
They decide to get started. Ipek gets out, and Omer says: Oh, no, you’re not coming in!
Ipek: You can’t expect me to sit in the car. My son’s inside.
Omer: And you’re injured!
Pelin: Ipek, emotions can ruin everything, please.
Arda: You don’t want to put your son’s life at risk.
Omer: I give you my word. I’ll bring you your boy.
The team of three starts toward the house.
A guard walks by the house. Omer disables him. They enter the house: Police!
They can see kid’s toys on the table.

Episode 100 #7 of 7
All the rooms are empty until Omer gets to a last room. It also looks empty until he opens a cabinet. He finds a woman holding a boy. He tells her to take her hands off the boy. She says Serhat will kill her. Omer tells her he is a cop and to let the boy go. He will take the boy to his mom. Omer tells the boy he will take him to his mother, who is right outside. The boy’s face lights up: Really?
Arda comes in and smiles seeing Omer holding Yaz.
Arda then takes charge of the woman.

Elif is still watching over the Bosphorus. A gloved hand reaches out and touches her shoulder. Hmmm.

We see Nedret and Husseyn in the agreed-upon restaurant. He is holding the DNA envelope. Nedret tells him to go ahead and open it so they can know they truth.
Nedret: Let’s see who the real father of Ipek’s child is.
Husseyn gives a wry smile: This is so strange. We were almost killing one another before, Nedret, and now you’re desperate to know what’s in the envelope. What do they call this, an alliance?
Nedret: Please don’t test my patience. It won’t be the first alliance for me to break, you hear? She tells him to open it.
Husseyn opens it: Oh my goodness.
She grabs the paper out of his hands.
Nedret is impactada, but we still don’t know why.

Ipek is out of the car, waiting by the gate. She finally sees Omer bringing Yaz out.
Ipek finally has a smile on her face. She runs toward him and Omer lets the boy down to run to his mother.
Ipek: Look how much you’ve grown. I missed you, Mr. Big Man. (Yaz has a toy car in his hand.)
Omer, Arda walk over to join mother and son.
Arda: There’s bad news. There’s no trace of Serhat. Either he isn’t home or he knew we were coming. Pelin is trying to get the man and woman to talk.
Omer: We aren’t going to chase after Serhat. He’s going to come to us. But we need to be careful.
Omer’s phone rings. He answers.
Serhat: Hello, Omer, it’s been a long time. You’ve probably forgotten about me.
Omer asks who it is.
Serhat: This is Serhat.
Omer signals for everyone to be quiet.
Serhat: You broke into my house. And you took my son. You have my wife with you. You need to know that I’m really angry.
Omer: What are you going to do about it?
Serhat: We’ve met once before and you looked into my eyes. You should remember that I’m a person who gets what he wants.
Omer: I don’t remember any such thing.
Serhat gives a signal, and a henchie cuts something with a knife. It’s a gag and Elif cries out: Omer, Omer!
Omer: Elif! (He looks at Arda in alarm.)
Serhat: Don’t worry, she is fine. After all, she’s a guest. So, Omer, which one of us is more powerful? If my wife and child aren’t here within 24 hours, then I will kill your fiancée.
Omer and Arda look at Ipek and Yaz.

KPA

Wow. I haven't seen this episode yet. Time to put KPA back in my rotation. It will make a lot more sense watching after I've read the recap. Thanks Babachita.
 

KPA

Thanks, Babachita, your recap is fantastic as always!

Several things about this episode don't really make sense.

First, Nilu asks Fatih for permission to wash her face? She has never been the permission seeking type and she's already refusing to sleep with him, this level of submission doesn't match her personality.

Next, Nilu goes straight into the office on the very first day there and starts snooping? She seems smarter than that and would be better off waiting for the right opportunity rather than desperately seeking one - plus, why would the CD be in the office? Tayyar is just going to put it back where Pilar found it with no thought to protecting it? Not likely...

The DNA test!!! The boy is missing (was until the end of the episode) how did Huso get DNA to test?? It makes no sense and even if he could get the DNA because maybe Tayyar does have access to Yaz, it would be all kinds of stupid to tip that hand to Nedret - it's basically a confession of being involved in criminal activity by bringing her that DNA test! And Nedret has no questions, doesn't she know the boy is missing? Everyone knows this.

I wonder if Melike will be smart enough to give the flash drive to Omer.
 

kpa

Nilufer seemed almost like in a trance. I guess Fatih was keeping an eye on her so she needed a good reason to leave him.

IIRC, she has been a bit envious of Elif’s cloak and dagger work. Perhaps she is hoping to do some of her own. Originally she was going to be there one evening only, so doing it fast would be needed. Maybe she is still on the same timeline. She is probably ready to leave as soon as possible, so finding the cd would allow her to leave soon.

DNA, I wondered that. Maybe he got a hairbrush or something.

Fingers crossed that Melike handles the flash drive well by giving it to Omer.

Babachita
 

kpa

Thanks, Babachita! Your recaps are always a good read.

I guess they got DNA through Tayyar. Didn't he send the boy's shirt with blood to Ipek

Nilu and Fatih are one of the strangest loves I've ever seen.

I'll have 101 up later today.

 

KPA

I forgot about the shirt!!! But then again, Ipek didn't test the blood to make sure it was his, she just took the threat at face value. That could have been someone else's blood.
