Episode 144 #1 of 8

A guard is walking Elif to a meeting in the prison. When Elif stumbles, the guard tells her that she turned out to be a weak woman. Look at you, girl! Elif’s expression shows no reaction to this. Omer is waiting for her. Omer hugs her, but she doesn’t react to that, either.
Omer: What happened? Why did you do it? Why did you lose faith?
Elif: Justice had to be done, someone has to pay.
Omer: If what you want is justice, then you should be free. (He takes her hands.) Because no one can be more innocent than you. Your hands are cold and your forehead is wet. Are you OK?
Elif’s hands are shaky. He asks again if she is OK. She starts to fall and he catches her. He puts her on the floor and calls for help. She appears to be convulsing. He tries to calm her down.

At the Dundar mansion, Tayyar opens a champagne bottle to celebrate. Fatih walks in.
Tayyar: Dear Fatih, you’ve arrived just in time. We have much to celebrate. Elif Denizer was in court and confessed to the crime. (Fatih doesn’t look as pleased as his father.) It’s been too long since I’ve felt as happy as I do right now. Let’s raise a glass to Elif Denizer! We’ll never forget what she did to save us.
They tip their glasses to Elif.
Fatih: Well done, Elif.
Tayyar watches Fatih drink his champagne: But, I still have some questions. I will figure it out eventually, how Omer escaped from his grave.
The doctor enters: Mr. Tayyar, I thought I’d been clear enough. You’re prohibited from drinking alcohol.
Tayyar, snickers: Dead rats don’t feel cold. Besides I want to hear news, not reproaches.
Doctor: Everything is ready for tonight, just as you ordered.
Tayyar: Very good, good.
Fatih bites: This evening? What will happen?
Tayyar: That idiot, Husseyn is dead. I got rid of him, and so he won’t be a nuisance anymore. And I’ve reunited with my dear son, and God willing, I’ll find a way to reunite with the other one too. I just need that. I have to have the operation before I can look for him and contact him. Health is the greatest blessing in life, Fatih. As soon as I have my new kidney, he’ll have to receive me.
Fatih: And why didn’t you tell me? I’m so glad. Really. And well, where will it be? I’m asking in case I can help you in any way.
Tayyar: Bless you, dear son. Even though we’ve lost some years, we have a beautiful father-son relationship. The operation will be done at my hospital. But, doctor, change your expression, please. Have a toast with us.
The doctor agrees and fills a glass.
Fatih has an inscrutable expression on his face. He is thinking hard and his eyes are turning every which way. What is he thinking?

At the prison hospital, Elif is in a hospital bed. Omer is beside her telling her everything will be all right. He tells her he won’t leave her alone.

Episode 144 #2 of 8
The doctor says they will proceed; her heart rate is slow. Omer tells her he will be right back.
He goes into the doctor’s office.
Omer: Doctor, what’s wrong? Why is she like this?
Doctor: We have to rule that out, but I don’t think this episode is related to a chronic illness. Stress could have caused her heart rate to drop, as well as her blood pressure. Both of those factors led to this collapse.
Omer: The last time we saw each other, she was fine. It’s too sudden.
Doctor: I saw her file. Her psychiatrist prescribed a fairly low dose of antidepressants. These shouldn’t have caused any side effects, but…
Omer: Doctor, can I see the medication? I suppose Elif had it with her, right?
Doctor hands it to Omer and continues: As I was saying, it’s a low dose, but it could have caused some side effects. However, I wouldn’t rule out that possibility after reviewing her impeccable medical history.
Omer: May I stay with her a little longer?
Doctor: I have to send her back to her cell once the IV is finished.
Omer: Doctor, I ask that you please let me stay with her at least until she feels a little better.
Doctor: OK, Captain, but only five minutes.
Omer smiles and thanks him.
He goes back to Elif and asks how she is feeling.
Elif: Tell me what the doctor said. I’ll live?
Omer nods: Unfortunately, you won’t live long (in jest), but it will be long enough for you to travel in Turkiye, and maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to go to more distant places, like Latin America or Australia.
Elif: Really?
Omer: Of course, Signorina. We’ll visit all the countries that want to share their secerts about happiness and love with us.
[It’s nice to see their banter again.]
Elif: There’s still happiness in this world, Captain.
Omer: Of course, right here we are looking at each other and our hands are intertwined.
Elif: Tell me, what else did the doctor tell you?
Omer: He said your life is all mapped out. Ah, and he also asked me to tell you that your life is intertwined with mine and that you’ll never get rid of me. He also said that we’ll be together sooner than you imagine, and that my name will be engraved on your heart, that our lives and all our dreams will be joined. You know what that means?
Elif: What does that mean?
Omer: It means love, lots of light, hope and lots of children. You won’t be able to avoid it because you’ll live long enough for us to have four children and ten grandchildren.
Elif laughs: Do you think that after we have four children, I’ll be able to live?
Omer: Of course and give others hope. Your love is enough for everyone because in you there’s nothing dark or anything false, only unconditional love. Nothing more.
Elif: I think he’s talking about another woman. Captain, I can’t give you all that. I can’t even think about having a child, much less four.
Omer: Ah, I think you’re telling me that because you don’t want to change your figure. Well, let’s not have children, just…I’ll take care of you, it’s not that big of a deal.
Elif: Omer, when…
Omer interrupts: Shhh. Just dream, imagine, and everything will be reality.

At the mobile hospital, Husseyn is sitting in his hospital bed listening to the television. “According to the latest information from the Palace of Justice, Elif Denizer, the president of the Denizer Holding company, pleaded guilty in the trial held today. The court’s decision will be delivered in five days. We will keep you promptly informed of the development of this case.
Husseyn turns off the TV. He says: You’re a miserable wretch, Dundar, you’ll go to hell, idiot. If you manage to escape, I myself will come looking for you and take you away.
Just then, as if on cue, Fatih enters the room.
Husseyn wipes away tears of frustration and says to himself: Just what I needed.
Fatih tells him the day has come. He directs the doctor to see if he has any problem.
Husseyn asks if he will be going to Istanbul. Fatih tells him not exactly: A great battle awaits us.

Episode 144 #3 of 8
Husseyn tells him he doesn’t understand. What is Fatih talking about?
Husseyn: You said you wanted to kill Tayyar. Your moment has arrived.
Husseyn: What are you saying? It will be difficult like this.
Fatih gives him a pep talk: Husseyn, you are a strong man. Nothing can stop you. Kill him, take revenge on him. Then you will take Burhan and you can be a free man.
Doctor: His leg is not healthy enough to put a prosthesis on him. Even if we did, he wouldn’t be able to walk with it. It takes time to get used to, it’s very difficult.
Husseyn: For me, no. Just do it. Put that prosthesis on me. I’ll take care of the rest. I have to get rid of a bag of garbage.
Fatih: What admirable brothers they must be, the pride of their mother. Neco, go to the car to get the prosthesis.
Husseyn is sitting with his wild-eyed look.

Elif is talking with Omer.
Elif: I don’t know if it’s because of the medication, but I’m seeing Husseyn all the time, no matter if I’m awake or not. When I told my psychiatrist about it, he said it was because of my conscience, and that the medicine would tear down the walls I built.
Omer: But in exchange for them you’ll see ghosts.
Elif: Huh?
Omer: The psychiatrist couldn’t even make you remember what happened that night, right? He just convinced you that you committed the murder. That seems very suspicious. Elif, who do you trust, your psychiatrist or me?
Elif: Of course, you.
Omer: Listen to me, don’t see that psychiatrist anymore, OK?
Elif: OK.
Omer: You were right from the beginning. You said you didn’t like him. We should have asked for a change, but it doesn’t matter anymore. Because we will now. We’re going to get another one. I’ll take care of that.
Elif: What happened?
Omer looks at her a long time, and then the doctor comes in telling him the guards will be there any minute.
Omer asks if they have to take her to the cell. Isn’t it possible for her to stay there? The doctor tells him again that it’s not possible.
Omer strokes her head and stares at her, sending strength for her to withstand what awaits her in the cell.

Husseyn is trying his prosthetic leg. The doctor and Neco help him up. Husseyn is in great pain and can’t stand.
Husseyn: I look like a baby taking its first steps. But I’m a man.
He tells the helpers to just hold him, and he keeps working at it, boasting to the doctor that he’s doing it. He says it hurts less when one has a purpose. He keeps working at it, while Fatih is watching.

FLASHBACK: Nilufer is talking to Fatih: I thought you could change. I believed in that. That’s what I hoped for. I don’t know how I could have been so blind all this time. No matter how hard you try, the evil inside you won’t let you come out. Fatih, no matter how hard you try, you keep on being Metin.

Fatih tells Husseyn he must hate him for doing this, but he didn’t have an alternative. You know, the forensic team said they needed a tissue sample from you to identify you. Your brother would have requested a sample from a different lab. I had to cut it so there wouldn’t be any doubt.
Husseyn: My problem isn’t that you amputated my leg, but that I’m blaming you?
Fatih: You’re right. I reprimand you, but don’t hate me.

Episode 144 #4 of 8
Husseyn: I only feel hatred for one person, for myself. This is my punishment after acting like a pig. It’s lucky I only lost a leg. Believe me, what I feel for myself is worse than any mutilation.
That’s enough (he tells his helpers). There’s no time for philosophical conversations. We have a lot of work to do. We won’t achieve anything if I don’t practice. Come on!
The doctor tells him they need to walk to the parallel bars. He can practice there better.
Once at the bars, he grabs both of them.
Neco: Mr. Husseyn, in an hour you’ll be running. Please don’t give up.
Husseyn: Of course I’m going to run. I don’t intend to give up.
The doctor gives instructions for him to lean on the bars and try to walk alone. Husseyn starts and with some difficulty is finally able to stumble along. Fatih has to catch him once when he falls. It’s obvious the three men are impressed with Husseyn’s resolve.

At the prison, Omer brings Elif out to put her in the wheelchair that will take her to her cell. Omer puts her in the chair and the two smile. Elif: Don’t look at me like that, Omer.
Omer: How?
Elif: With so much love.
Omer: It’s because I’m in love. The day your lips touched mine, I couldn’t do anything to stop it. Once a beautiful girl told me that she loved riding her bicycle.
Elif: Really?
Omer: Yes, and now I remember that I’ve never gone with her to do it.
Elif: And we never did it, nor have we flown a kite, either.
They smile again as the guards tell them that’s enough.
Omer kisses her forehead and tells her to take care and to take her medicine and promise that she’ll eat. She promises.
As she is wheeled down the hall, she smiles at him, looking much more like the Elif we know! Omer follows her with his eyes, hoping for the best.

Omer is with Arda and very frustrated. Arda tells him they found the guy who shot Osman. He was an ex-con disguised as a policeman. We’re trying to get him to talk, but so far, he hasn’t.
Omer: Of course he’s not going to talk. The only way he will is if he hasn’t received the payment they promised. Omer is also frustrated because they haven’t received results. Just then, a doctor comes to him and tells him he was absolutely right. The ingredients listed on the box of medication aren’t the same as the pills.
Omer: Well, and what did they give her?
The doctor: It’s a type of drug. The side effects are memory loss, hallucinations, tremors, fainting, dizziness, difficulty thinking, and the worst is that it’s addictive. Luckily she didn’t use it in large quantities. Omer thanks him and turns to run to the prison.
Arda tries to stop him, but Omer insists that those miserable people want to kill the woman he loves.
Arda: Don’t abandon her! And what do you plan to do? You’ll shoot them? Great idea. Because then you’ll be going to prison, she’ll become addicted, she’ll hallucinate and then she’ll try committing suicide. And Tayyar will never pay for everything he’s done. Do you really want that ending? Is that really what you’re looking for?
Arda looks intently at Omer who then takes off, with Arda following closely.

At the Dundar mansion, Fatih is sitting in the living room alone, lost in thought. He takes out his phone to call Nilufer. She is sitting in Mert’s new apartment. Nilufer is conflicted about answering. She turns off the call without answering. Mert is watching her. She starts crying.
Fatih calls again with no luck. He paces a bit and then sees his father and Batur come up the stairs. Tayyar tells him he has some pending matters to take care of, but he will get there in time the operation. Dr. Batur tells him they should be going to the clinic now. This enrages Tayyar who says he can’t go now. I’ll go when I’m free.
Fatih: I didn’t know you had to go to the clinic so soon. I would have gone to see you there.

Episode 144 #5 of 8
Tayyar: I have to make a couple of calls before I leave. I’m going to rest a bit. I need to ask you one last favor. Behave like a good brother and go get Mert so he can be here with us.
Fatih: You’re afraid. What! You’ve overcome a million challenges.
Tayyar: Everything will be alright, even though I know everything that happens inside the operating room. Undergoing an operation intimidates me. There’s always the possibility of not surviving. I want to see my children together while I’m alive. Bring Mert to me, please.
Fatih looks at his father and gives him a little smile.

At the Denizer mansion, Nedret, Asli, and Filiz are having tea (or coffee). Nedret says she is exhausted and is going upstairs to rest.
Asli wishes her good night. Filiz also excuses herself to go rest.
Asli: It’s too early! Let’s talk early so we can keep each other company.
Filiz thinks a little and then agrees.
Asli tells her she’s been in the family for so long and living with us for the last couple of months, but they still don’t know her.
Filiz: It’s just that we’ve never taken the time to sit down and talk.
Asli pats her hands: So, tell me something about yourself. For example, do you have contact with your parents, or have you ever been able to know them?
Filiz: No, never. Ms. Nedret has always been like a mother and father to me. I think that’s why I never needed them.
Asli: My aunt is very nice, by the way. And how you meet?
Filiz smiles.

Omer and Arda are in the car, with Omer driving fast.
Arda: Omer, you haven’t said a word the whole way. At least you could tell me what you plan to do.
Omer: Give me patience, please.
Omer drives up to a house and parks.
Omer: Number 11. We’ll find out who’s paying that idiot psychiatrist.
Arda: Have you lost your mind? You know that we can’t be here at this hour. We could be reported. Let’s come back tomorrow. Omer, listen to me, for once in your life,…
Omer rings the bell and the psychiatrist (Haluk) answers the door. He asks who they are and why they are there at this hour. Omer gives him his very intent Captain Omer Demir look. Omer thinks for a minute and then grabs him, telling him he will come with them.
Omer: We’re going to talk. You don’t know how many times I’ve wanted to talk to you.
Omer punches the doctor, who falls to the ground.
Omer shows the pills to the doctor: Tell me what this is. Do you want to try one? Remember this? What kind of doctor are you? You help people with this? (Omer gives him a hard slap.) Start talking, you idiot.
Haluk: I don’t understand what you want. Are you a thief? What does this mean?
Omer: There are pigs like you everywhere. Tell me, where are your ethics? You don’t even have a shred of compassion.
Haluk struggles to stand up and calls for help.
Omer: Wait, where do you think you’re going, you idiot? She trusted you and opened her heart, and you just wanted to drive her crazy.
Omer hits him again, and Arda tells him that it’s enough.
The person who Haluk was yelling for appears at the door: What did you do to my husband?
Arda goes over and tells Haluk to stand up and that they need to talk.
Haluk tells them he will denounce them: You’ll regret coming here. You can’t come to my house like this. I’m going to report you.

Arda: Shut up or I’ll finish what my partner started. I can continue with the places he forgot to hit you.
Omer: Let’s go. We’ll take you to talk to the judge, and you’ll tell him everything you know about Elif Denizer.
Haluk exclaims he won’t because he doesn’t know anything about it.
Omer: You’ll come, you idiot!
The wife tells them that’s enough: Leave us alone.
Some police drive up. She yells to them that they are trying to kill her husband. Arda walks up to them with his badge. The policeman asks what’s happening. Arda tells him it was a small problem and is already solved. The policeman offers to help Arda. He thanks him but tells him everything is in order. The policeman wishes him a good evening and leaves.
The wife starts yelling: Why are you leaving? Don’t you see? They are beating my husband. Why don’t you arrest them?
Omer glares at her. He sighs in relief as the cops get in their car.
Omer: Enough. Let’s get out of here. We’ll see each other again. Did you hear me? You won’t get away from me that easily.
He and Arda get in their car. The doctor’s wife takes him inside the house.
At their car, Omer watches and tells Arda they will have to follow that jerk. He might be going to Tayyar. Two birds with one stone.
Wife: Haluk, come inside.
Haluk: You go inside while I go get some ice.
He calls Tayyar: Hello, this is Haluk, sir.
Tayyar: I suppose you’re calling from a secure phone?
Haluk: Of course. I have bad news, sir.
Tayyar, annoyed: What do you mean you have bad news?
Halik: Omer Demir came to my house. It seems he found me out. He must have had the antidepressants tested. I’m finished.
Tayyar looks alarmed now.
Tayyar: Even if he did, that doesn’t prove anything. You have to play the victim, understand? Don’t panic. Do this: get out of where you are and don’t ever call me again. Forget I exist. You never knew me. And lastly, don’t even think about mentioning my name because you know what will happen to you if you do. Goodbye.
Tayyar hangs up.
The doctor says: I can see you don’t allow any mistakes. Sometimes I’m afraid of what might happen to me if I make one.
Tayyar, with a grim expression: If my operation isn’t having optimal results, you’ll know, doctor.
Doctor: Everything is ready, we should go.
Tayyar: I’m waiting for my sons. I need to see them first. We’ll wait.

Mert’s doorbell rings. We see Nilufer drying her hair. She goes to Mert, sleeping on the couch, who doesn’t react. She asks if he’s expecting anyone. No response, so she goes to answer the door. [It’s Fatih for sure, I’m thinking!] Bingo! Fatih is surprised to see her.
Fatih asks what she is doing there? She asks him what he’s doing there.
Fatih: I’m at my brother’s house. You know I can come whenever I want. Why are you here?
Nilufer: After knowing what you did with Elif, I couldn’t face my family.
Fatih, angrily: There are hotels!
Nilufer: I just wanted to feel safe.
Mert is waking up now!
Fatih: So, you feel safe. One of us provokes passion and the other makes you feel safe. You find another place to stay. Let’s go.

Nilufer: Fatih, don’t be ridiculous. Mert is my friend from infancy.
Fatih: He came first, he has priority.
Nilufer, angrily: Exactly.
Fatih: So, sometimes you think, why didn’t you choose him?
Nilufer: Who knows.
Mert: Don’t be ridiculous. Don’t drag me into your fights. I love another woman and Nilufer and I have been friends since we were kids. Tell me what you’re doing here.
Fatih: They are going to operate on your father. He wants you to be with him.
Mert: You can tell him not to worry because I’ll see him at his funeral. Now leave.
Fatih: Go, get your things now, go, go!
Mert: Nilufer, don’t go if you don’t want to.
Fatih turns quickly to look at Mert, feeling a little bit triumphant. She gets her things and thanks Mert for everything. She kisses his cheek. She tells him she is glad to have him. Nilufer leaves.
The brothers continue to stare at each other, and then Fatih turns to leave.
Outside the building, Fatih tells her he will take her. She declines the offer.
Fatih: You heard me. I’ll leave you at a hotel.
Nilufer: I’ll go to the hotel that I choose. You won’t know where.
A taxi drives up.
Nilufer gets in, Fatih stoops to look at the driver, and the taxi takes off, with Fatih frowning.

Omer is flicking his Zippo lighter lid, always a sign of his frustration. He is carefully looking over the photos of the evidence in the case of Husseyn. He is alone in the police office.

FLASHBACK #1: Omer is remembering when Osman, the crooked police forensic leader, dies after being shot by the fake poiliceman. Osman told him “an ambulance,” twice, very earnestly. After that, he dies.

FLASHBACK #2: A different forensic expert tells him: When we were leaving, we found tire tracks. They were very strong marks and recent. Arda and Pelin ask what kind of tracks, from a car or something else. The policeman tells him they were from something bigger, like a truck. We were going to photograph them, but….

Omer, in present time, grabs his phone.

Arda and Pelin are sleeping. Arda, in a romantic mood: My love, this is very similar to a Chinese torture.
Pelin: Arda, please.
Arda: OK. Look, I’m going to talk to my mother so she can ask for your hand. I’ll do it whenever you want. We’ll get married.
Pelin: Arda, it’s not a good time to get married. Look how things are. Let’s wait until Elif gets out of jail. After that, we can think about getting married.
Arda: And, in the meantime, I must continue to endure this torture.
Pelin nods: Yes.
Arda: Then I will singlehandedly find the assassin, I’ll save Elif because I can’t stand this anymore.
Pelin: Arda, I told you from the beginning what I think.
The phone rings. Arda jokingly acts very thrilled at this development, making Pelin laugh.
It’s Omer. He tells Arda his theory about Osman saying ambulance just before he died: Instead of asking for an ambulance to save himself, he was trying to tell us that the vehicle that left the tracks was an ambulance.
Arda thinks that is excellent, and Omer goes on to speculate that they killed Husseyn somewhere else, so they need to find another crime scene. Arda tells him he is a genius and that he and Pelin will join him shortly.
Pelin asks what he said, and Arda tells her “only after they get married.” She is very frustrated that he won’t tell her. She tells him it isn’t funny and then goes to get dressed.

Episode 144 #8 of 8

Fatih is walking in a hospital and talking with Husseyn on the phone. Husseyn tells him he is ready. Fatih tells him to come to the clinic: The operation is about to end. If luck isn’t on our side, you’ll have to force things.
Husseyn struggles to get up and tells Neco to move it, Tayyar must be missing him.
Husseyn: His hand trembles to shoot and use an axe, he can’t kill an unconscious old man, and yet he thinks he’ll be the emperor. [Husseyn is referring to Fatih here, IMO.]
Neco: Well, he is his father, his heart won’t let him. That’s what I think. He wanted to do it other times but simply couldn’t. That’s why he must have chosen you. (Neco looks at Husseyn with great admiration here.). He knows you hate him with all your being.
Husseyn, annoyed: Why don’t you just go to hell with Tayyar and Fatih?

Fatih is pacing outside the operating room in the hospital. The doctor comes out and tells Fatih it was a very difficult surgery, but that he is stable now. It was a success.
Fatih: What joy!
Doctor: He’s going to recover soon.
Fatih: Where will they take him now? Intensive care, right?
Doctor: I can’t give out that information. He was very clear about that.
Fatih: What do you mean?
Doctor: For security reasons, your father was transferred by air ambulance to another facility. But don’t worry, he is doing very well.
Fatih is very animated now: How dare you, doctor? You yourself said it, you’re talking about my father. I want you to tell me where he is. He might need me!
Doctor: He gave me that order. I’m very sorry, I can’t tell you where we took him.
Fatih reacts and grabs the doctor with his hands: Where, where is he?
The doctor shakes his head.

On the road, Husseyn is enjoying being out in Istanbul, riding in a van. He tells Neco (who’s driving) he hadn’t been out for a long time.
Husseyn: It seems like a century has passed. It’s beautiful.
Neco gets a call from Fatih. Husseyn tells him to put it on speaker.
Husseyn asks Fatih if he’s killed his pig of a father yet.
Fatih: Unfortunately, he’s alive. There’s a change of plans.
Husseyn: What happened? The paranoid idiot ordered himself to be transferred somewhere else. No matter how much I pressured the doctor, he wouldn’t tell me where he is. So, now you’re going back to the mobile hospital in the warehouse.
Husseyn, chuckling: And what did you expect, Fatih, that Tayyar is new to this business? Of course he’d act like a fox.
Fatih: Stop trying to lecture me. Shut up. You’re going back to the warehouse immediately. Now!
Husseyn, now on the way back, tells Neco that the city looks wonderful: What do you say we go for a walk?
Neco: If someone recognizes you, I’ll be killed.
Husseyn: Don’t worry, nothing will happen. They won’t recognize me. Have some compassion.
Neco pulls up to park. He begs Husseyn not to do this, they will get into trouble. He tells him Fatih will be back soon.
Husseyn: Shut up. Let me enjoy this.
Then the camera moves back and we see that Husseyn is at Elvan’s home. He sees his mother bid Melike and family goodbye as they head out for the day. Hasan and Demet exchange sibling insults, and Melike hurries them along. Then he sees Burhan come out and Melike and Elvan giving him lots of love. Melike walks Burhan, who looks very happy.
Husseyn tells himself that he made serious mistakes.
