This is done for the enjoyment of KPA fans all over the world. :) Episode 54 Fine, you don’t have a penny! They took away everything you had. I accept that! But you can start from scratch, Grandpa! Come with us! Ok, I will come. And then we will open a small shop and sell watermelons. Is that ok? During the summer we will make a profit, and during the winter we will spend. Look, think about it very well. You will rot here all alone. Perhaps it can’t replace your own children, but you can take care of my son as his grandfather! Would that be so bad? You talk too much, Fatih! Son, you’re the same as me – when you start up the emotional side of things, you forget yourself! I will not come with you, Son! If you want, you go – have a nice trip! I will live what was written for me right here – this is the end! End of the running! End of the swimming against the stream! Whatever was written for me until the end of my life – I will live it. The way I deserve. Fine, Grandpa, don’t come. But I am getting out of here! I will take my wife and my mother and start a new life for myself! The way I deserve it. Pelo, where is Elif? I haven’t seen her Mr. Best Man, where are you going? We will dance some more, Brother. Fine, Brother, you warm up for a while, and I will come back in a bit and dance you to death. Don’t worry. No such world, Brother. My shoes already have holes from dancing. You will dance too! Ok, Son, ok! Let me find Elif, and I will be right back! Look, if you run away, I will hold you responsible for it - just so you know! Pelin, come here! Mother, have you seen Elif? She was here, Son. But I haven’t seen her for a while now. Where did she go? Ah, Devrem, have you seen Elif? She was here a while ago. Let’s ask Asli. She is not here either. Let it be for a good thing! The number you are calling cannot be reached at this time… The number you are calling cannot be reached at this time. Please, try again later. Love…is the strongest feeling! But, its flame burns out so quickly! Its coals go out so quickly! Love can’t be held in someone’s hands. It wants to be free. It can’t fit into a beautiful frame. It has no limitations. It takes its power from the distance between two people. If their hearts are entwined in each other, then love is endless, and it can lift the weight of a ton. But one fierce look can turn it into dust. And you want it to leave - even from itself! Not to leave you, but to stay no more with you. For a woman leaving is the greatest test - her hardest - to be left without love. I learned this with you, too, my love! You are both the pain in my heart and the healing. I am begging you – please, stop me! Don’t let me leave! Elif, where are you? Brother, have you seen this lady? Did she leave a while ago? Would you give up the designer profession that you put so much effort into? Would you leave the company to your sisters? You couldn’t do it, of course! Uncle, where are you? Arda is looking for you everywhere. You’ve been gone for two hours. Come on! Fine, we‘re coming. Elif Abla, you come too! Elif! Elif, what are you doing? What's happening, Elif? Speak, say something. What happened? Did you have a fight with Colombo? Have you separated? What happened? Speak, Elif. Asli, please excuse me. No. No, I won’t excuse you. Tell me what happened. Calm down. Take a breath. Why has Colombo made you so sad? I don't know. Perhaps, I made him sad. The only thing I am sure of is that I cannot bear it anymore, Asli. I'm unable to do anything. I can't do anything. Nothing helps. What's can’t you bear? I just want to go. Elif, where are you going? Elif. Stop. Let's talk. Elif, there's nothing we can't solve. Please, you are talking nonsense. There's nothing we can't solve. Let's talk. You'll be really sorry later. Please, Elif. Asli, I've been talking to myself the past few days as it is. It's over. It's time to leave. Elif! Elif! What have you done, Elif? What have you done? What have you done Elif? How could you do this to us? What have you done? Omer, my love, Tonight I asked you to do something you couldn't do. I’m sorry if I made you sad, but I have to end this nightmare! I don't want to live feeling afraid of losing you every second. You are also right, because you think that it is your job that makes you a whole person. Your job is your lifestyle. Perhaps you'll be offended with me, but I don't want this lifestyle of yours. On top of that, I think I have the right to ask this of you, because love is the foundation of life. You and I are able to build everything from the beginning in our world for two. Since we can't do this, I am leaving. This hasn't been the first time in my life that I have left, but it will be the last. It's difficult to say goodbye. It is devastating; it is crushing. But, I have to do this. I will hide you in the most beautiful place in my memories. Farewell, my love. Hello? Asli, are you at home? I’m at the shore, close to our home. Do you know what happened? Yes! Where did Elif go? Why didn't she tell me? Omer, I really tried to stop her, but I couldn't. Wait for me. I'm on my way. Asli, where is Elif? I don’t know, Omer. How could you not know? She probably told you. I swear, she didn’t tell me anything! She said she'd contact me when she gets there. I honestly think that she doesn't know where she is going either. What did she say? She said she couldn't do it, Omer. Believe me, I tried to stop her and talk to her, but she wouldn't listen and just left. Was it so simple? Like a child who takes her ball and leaves? That's it? You know it's not like that. Don't be unfair to my sister. What about the injustice done to me? What about her irresponsible behaviour towards me? What kind of injustice is this towards me? What kind of tremendous injustice is this? I'm going, is that it? How can Elif just go without saying anything to me? If the person standing opposite her only thinks of himself, as you are doing, then she'll go, Omer. If this has hurt her so much, then she'll go. -You’re my life, don’t forget this! -You’re my eternity! I love you so much! Engrave that in large letters in your brain, because I did! Please, don’t be upset, my love, everything will turn out just fine! I am even ready to die in your arms. You won’t run away, Signorina! -Did you forget? We are still going to travel the world and have children! -I love you! Doesn't love mean trust? Not giving up? To fight for the impossible? Love is resistance, even against yourself when need be. Trying to understand and accept. Not I - but we. Love is not to abandon and runaway when something happens. However bad it is - when you are close to each other, it is better than being far apart. Because when she leaves, your eyes don't touch hers. Signorina, when a person leaves, he doesn't take his loved one with him. You have nothing left. Every preference means giving up. Sorry! Sorry! It’s my mistake, sorry! Is the owner of the pension inside? He is standing right in front of you! Hello, I am Ege. Hello, I’m Elif! What can I do for you? Do you have a room? I do, of course. You go inside, look at the rooms, and if you like them, we will accommodate you in one of them. I think you’re one of those who left the city behind and ran away just like me. This place will suit you fine. Trust me. Experience speaks. Please go in. We checked the road cameras, and we managed to follow Elif’s car on the way out of the city. We asked customs as well. If she left for Rome, we will know it soon. I'm thinking we should contact all Istanbul hotels and those nearby until we hear from customs. Maybe she'll be back in a couple days as it is. Then, let’s not bother the Signorina! Let her enjoy her life! What does that mean, Omer? Why, Brother, aren’t you going to pick her up? No! She made her choice! A choice of which I am not a part. And in one go! She left me in front of her door like a kitten. I won't go after her, nor look for her. You'll do the same. Let her live the way she wants. Omer, you are angry; your heart is broken, and your pride hurt. But, you'll be sorry later. -She left without hearing me out, Pelo. She left. -Omer, brother, look. Pelin is right. You'll be sorry. If you go tomorrow and find her, it could be too late. Someone new will capture her heart and life. Then that means I am right. This is a tale, and I am the only one who believed in this tale. 3 months later…. Down! Down! Down, down, down! Where is Rifki? Brother, who is Rifki, ya? Same old story - same old story! Take this one! Search well - search very well! Who is this Omer Demir? Brother Tayyar is gone, and now is it my turn? We have to finish him off before he finishes us. Kill him. Kill him. Brother Rifki, Omer Demir will be accepting an award tomorrow Let's kill him even though there's going to be a lot of police there. It'll be good for our reputation. Wonderful. Bring him to me.You'll accomplish this personally. Ok? One should really be afraid of you, Son. You made the prison warden believe Neco is a lawyer. You are the king of deception. Grandpa, Neco is my only way out! He organised everything. The guard, the prison, and my mom sold her house so we can be free. Enough. We've spoken about this. My place is here. I came because Neco called me. I won't go with you. My son won’t grow up waiting for his Dad to get out of jail. Let's have a look. Did Nilufer bring it to you? It’s grown, Son! And, thanks to you, I understand these things better now. Look, look at its face! It looks just like you! But, its black-haired! Grandpa, cut this out! Be serious! Come on, let’s leave this place tonight! I will fix this; you don’t worry! Where have you been, Son? You called for us, but you’re nowhere to be seen! Lawyer Necdet is spending his time buying shoes for the guard and giving cash to the warden. I had to go through 40 doors to get here. Everything is arranged, isn't it? I'm going tonight? Exactly, brother. You'll go tonight, inshallah. But I have come to warn you that this Rifki... The one after Tayyar… Exactly. After Tayyar's death, Rifki has become the new boss. He'll be owning everything now. He's pretending to avenge Tayyar in order to be on good terms with Tayyar's friends. I’ll bet Fatih and I are at the top of his list because we helped the police. Yes, brother. You and Omer Demir head the list. And, he's planning to kill you in prison. We are leaving tonight, so let him find us and kill us. Am I right, Grandpa? Where is he going to kill Omer? Have you heard something? Omer is receiving an award tomorrow for putting you in prison and finishing off Tayyar's gang. It is said that Rifki will be there. Have a productive day, friends! Thank you, Chief! Eh, Commissar Omer, you put Rifki’s people in jail and ruined their business, And tomorrow you will receive an award. There’s no one like you. I won't feel I deserve the award unless I capture Rifki, sir. Let this be our lucky charm, Omer. You haven't slept for months. You've worked day and night. You deserve something better than this award. Good night, Chief Omer! Good night! Aren’t you leaving, Omer? No, Chief. This Rifki is telling everywhere that he will seek revenge on me. I am trying to get to know this guy. I am reading his old testimonies. We should give you security, or let’s call your devrems - Arda and Pelin. It might be a trap. Let's be extremely vigilant. Oh, oh, sir. If we were scared of everyone who has threatened us, we wouldn't be here today. Don't worry. The dog that barks doesn't bite. Kolay gelsin then! Thank you! Yes, Sister? Omer! You haven’t forgotten that tonight they will be coming to ask for our girl, right? Hopefully, you won’t be late. I am leaving right away! Coming, Sister! Elif! Look, you lost the competition, but my heart didn’t let me, so I decided to share my burek with you! I made you juice from fruit mixed with my own hands too! Thank you, but there was no need; I’m not hungry. Elif, look, you’re not eating hardly anything, and each and every day you become thinner. If you continue like this, I will force you to eat! When I’m hungry, I eat - don’t worry. Yes, but you never crave anything. I don’t know why. At least, try drinking some of this. I made it with my own hands for you. The fruit is from brother Ahmet’s garden. Can you see this burek’s tears? Why isn’t Elif eating me? It is constantly asking this and crying. Oh, be! Now the second bite wants this as well. You can’t stand anyone denying you anything, right? Standing before you is the fastest salesman of the century, little girl. I haven't met anyone who has said no to me yet. Ege! Wait a bit, Kutlu, I’m coming! Are my orders ready? They’re ready! Elif. When people see these traditional pieces, they'll marvel at them. The accessories we sent to Istanbul sold like hot cakes. On top of that, we have new orders, and this is also going to Istanbul. Not to Istanbul! Elif! It can't be Istanbul. Impossible. We spoke earlier about this, but you still sent it to Istanbul without telling me. These will go to the resorts on the Mediterranean and Agean Sea. Please! You'll make more money. You'll get to rest a bit. You are just making ends meet. I don't want to make more money. I am happy like this. I know you are thinking of me, but this is how it should be. As you like. Let's offer Kutlu something to eat or drink. There is no need. We'll drop by the hotel, and I'll give him something there. Fine, see you later! See you! Kutlu, how are you? I’m fine, brother. How are you? I’m fine, thanks. Kutlu, this box will go to Istanbul as well - to the buyer from Baghdad cadde. Do you understand? Fine, brother, got it. Fine, then go! Excuse me, I know I am late, but they are coming to ask for my niece’s hand in marriage tonight, and I must buy her a present. Can you give me 5 minutes? Of course, do come in! What can I do for you? My niece likes plain and simple things - maybe a bracelet or a necklace. Of course, we have some new things. Let me show you some of them. It’s not so plain, but we have a very lovely necklace. We have very beautiful and simple earrings. But you seem to like this. This is handmade – one of a kind. Only your niece will have this in the whole world. Leave it! It will be this bracelet. Nice choice. How much? Who left and who stayed? Is the person who leaves always at fault? When does separation begin? When does friendship end? A part of us is taken from us as the days go by. As though nothing is like it used to be. As if it changes on its own. Our hands were untied. Our heart was split in two. One of us should have talked to the other without hurting that person. Who left and who stayed? In fact, the one who stayed was the one who left and not the one who left. That’s why the person who left is gone. Who left and who stayed? Is the person who left always the guilty one? When does separation begin? When does friendship end? You’re very beautiful! Thank you! My dear niece! Come! Ha, they came! You sit down, so you won’t look too excited! Good evening! Welcome! Do come in! Good evening! Welcome, Asli, daughter! Thank you, dear Demet. Who is this beauty? Thank you! Mert, come in! Thank you! Welcome, take a seat! When I saw you last, we were at the house moving things out. Glad you came. I am glad my sisters and I have been well since that day. Eh? How are you, Colombo? How's work? I'm really inquisitive. Are you happy at work? I am fine, Asli. As you know, we are doing our job. Good! Good! I brought Asli because I don't have any relatives, and Asli is like my sister. Demet, let's go to the kitchen, and see how the tea is brewing. Why didn't you tell me Asli was coming? I didn't know, Mother. There'll be a lot of tension tonight. I wish he'd asked me. I would have told him not to bring her. And Asli is doing something else. She's reminding Omer what's he been trying to forget these last few months. What will we do? I hope tonight passes quickly. Eh, how are you, Mert? I’m good, Brother Omer, thank you. I graduated, and my work has increased - as you probably heard. My position at the company changed. I heard; I heard. I am very glad. Brother Omer, in fact, I wanted to come sooner to see you. But I wanted to leave my past behind and all that happened to you and your family. Pardon. That is the reason why I waited so long. The case took a while. I am no longer called Dundar. I bear the family name of my mother’s father. And, I am proud of it. The name Dundar isn’t present in my life anymore. To start from scratch was very difficult. I had nothing and no hope. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it, but love has opened a path for me. Hoping to be happy with Demet has given me strength. But you don't! You are behaving like a spoiled child! You are saying it should be like this and ending it as you want! What else can I do after all this time? In what type of job can I be successful? What can I do after all this time? I spoke too much. To start from scratch and build a past from scratch has been very difficult. But I have developed some - thanks to Asli, of course. No. Never. I won't accept this. It happened because of Elif and not because of us. Because my sister is a person who makes everything she touches beautiful. She touched Mert’s life as well, and it turned out well! But you were very brave too, Mert! Elif is like an angel. We all miss her. I want Demet to finish her education, Brother Omer. If you don’t allow us to get married, we will wait. We will become engaged now. If you allow me, I will… Boy, why am I here, eh? Hm? I will ask for the girl! Let’s drink our coffee first. We will drink them afterwards, dear, afterwards! So, the reason for our visit is clear. We, by God’s will and Mohammed’s rule, want your daughter Demet for our son Mert. Fine, what do you say, Demet? What should I say, Uncle? Whatever you say, will happen. The young have already taken their decision, and we must only say “Yes”! Stand up, Brother! I am so calm on the inside. I'll be behind you always, in everything you wish to do. I have one condition. Demet should finish her education. Of course, Brother Omer. We'll definitely let Demet graduate with a degree in engineering. Daughter, come and kiss your uncle’s hand and then your grandmother’s. Thank you, my child! It’s good that you exist, Uncle! Is it already time, kid? Let’s see then! Mert said something very valuable today. A man must sometimes start from zero for the one he loves. He should be able to start a new life. You've succeeded in this. I feel happy and proud of you. As mother says, “Let no stone trip your feet” Look at each other like that till the end of your life. Amen! Who is this? Why is he kissing Demet? Shall we beat him? There’s two of us! I love you. Demet, sweetie, listen to me. Your family tends to be quitters. Don’t yield to your genes, okay? Because this man would do anything for you. The stuff is in here. Get ready and wait for me here. I’ll come pick you up. Good night! - Good night! See you soon. Son, we’ll be waiting for you to visit us again. Good night! - Bye-bye! How do these people walk here? - Stop complaining! Let’s throw a stone at him, so that he doesn’t come anymore. Not now – they’ll see us and get mad. We’ll do it later. What are you doing here, cunning things? No stones! Get in there! Come on. Put on your pajamas and straight to bed. Uncle… thank you so much. I’m so happy. I promise to finish my studies. You’ll be proud of me. I’m proud of you already. I hope you and Elif will be even happier. I hope you’ll get back together again. Demet dear, Elif’s gone. Demet, come! The boys want to tell you something or won’t go to sleep. I’m coming. Omer, I’m like an older sister to you, right? Right, Yenge. I watched you grow up. - Yes, Yenge. What’s up? What’s up? You are not aware of it, but you are like the walking dead. For the last few months, you’re like a ghost going to work and coming back home. You think you decided not to go with Elif, but you left with her, Omer. I know how moved you were a while ago. When you were looking at Mert and Demet, you were thinking about Elif, right? Yenge, please, don’t! - You cannot run away from me, Omer! I’m your big sister, so you’ll listen to me. You were afraid to start a new life, but Elif wasn’t afraid. She must have built a new life for herself, because she didn’t come back. You’re missing your chance to be with her and to be happy. And, for what?! Why did your brother leave me? For money. Why did you leave her? Because of your job. My dear Omer, my brother… don’t you understand? Work, rank, and money are all fleeting. You’ll always find a piece of bread to feed yourself. Okay, Yenge, but Elif didn’t leave me a choice. She just left. You should have gone after her. Has this been worth it? Has it been worth living without her for months? One has one life and one chance to be happy. You just let your chance slip by. You destroyed yourself and that girl. Nothing is more important than love, Omer. I didn’t know love and affection, but destiny put your brother and me together. Think about it. If I had been you, I would have never let her go, Omer! Omer, go and find Elif! Pray it’s not too late and run to your beloved! Every minute that goes by is getting too late. It’s time for the next shift. Everyone’s leaving. From now on you’re alone. If the soldiers don’t catch you, you’ll be free. If they do, you’re dead. Got it? Good luck! He’s coming, my girl. Your dad is coming. Where’s Fatih? - He’s coming, don’t worry. Hey, you! Stop! Damn! Stay calm, boy! I didn’t see your ID well. Can I take another look? Here, look. Please, God, please! Here. Good night. - Thanks. Good night. Come on, boy, you’ll hug later. Go girl! Step on the gas. What are you doing here, Omer? Where’s Elif? Is she okay? So now you remember her? I miss her so much. Don’t. Forget her. Asli, where’s Elif? I need to see her. You’re asking now? She waited for you for months; she cried for you. Now, she has built a new life for herself. No! I’ll never tell you where she is! I’m not going to let you upset my sister again! Asli, I have to see Elif. Go away, Omer! Elif has forgotten you; you forget her, too. She has a new life. You have your life before you – start over. Don’t you dare bother my sister again! Hello? Ege? I’m leaving. Good luck to you? Don’t be silly, Grandpa. Where are you going? Look, Son, our ways part here. You’ll build a new life and start a family. I’ll save the life entrusted to me. Save what, Grandpa? You escaped from prison, and you’re going in among a hundred policemen. You’ll get caught; I’m telling you. You think it’s all up with me. I may be old, and I may be a cripple, but I’m still holding on. Brother… Ah, Fatih, I still don’t understand how that psycho Tayyar made a boy like you… Don’t, Son. Don’t. Look, there’s your beloved. You have a picture of your child. They are what you have been after all your life. Just don't fall again. If you consider me your older brother, if I took at least some care of you, promise me one thing. Don’t touch forbidden things, and don’t give in to anger. Okay? The last words of a convicted man. No, Son. Advice to a younger brother. Don't forget Neco's words. If Rifki is thinking of revenge, he’ll go after you. Take care of Nilufer and yourself. Take care too, Grandpa. Go. See you in the next life. I’d be honoured. Son! Ege! - I know it’s late, but can we talk? Okay. Sure, we can talk. There’s nothing wrong, is there? Well, Asli called. What? What’s happened? Is there something wrong? No, nothing like that. Elif... That man you escaped from, Omer… He went to see Asli today and asked for you. Look, Elif. You suffered a lot - you made so much effort to start a new life. You don’t want to face this man and start all over again, believe me. Look, we can leave - the two of us. Okay, Brother, I’ll be waiting. Just check. Okay. Yagiz finally fell asleep. Let me take a look. Okay. Okay. She hasn’t used her credit card, and she hasn’t opened a new account. What? What are you laughing at? What’s so funny? We cannot find her through her credit card. Brother, we have waited months for you to wake up. For the first time you’re doing something right, and we’re glad. I hope I’m not too late like my sister-in-law said. Let’s hope not. Why are men’s chips so angular? Buddy, you said Elif and Asli talk on the phone. What if we ask the mobile operator for a list of their conversations? Brother, Asli could have told me if she wanted to. We’ll violate her privacy. It’s not like we’re investigating a crime. It’s for love’s sake, Brother. I’ll find her on my own, Brother. I’ll find her on my own. I did this to myself, so I’ll find her myself. Shall we check the roads? She may have committed a driving offence that was documented. Can’t we track her down using her registration number? Brother, you left Elif, but we didn’t. We tried that months ago. She sold her car somewhere around Izmir, but she didn’t put the money in the bank. There hasn’t been a money transfer from her company. I know, Brother. She transferred all her shares to Asli. Mert told me. We’re sure she hasn’t left Turkey. She hasn’t been abroad. Friends, there are 81 regions in this country. How can we find her? We will, Brother - we will. You’ll see. Actually, there is a way. Good morning. - Good morning. Looks like you urgently need another present. No, this time I want to ask you something. - Sure. Come in, we’ll talk inside. How can I help you? Where did you get the necklace with the angel wings? Can you tell me? I don’t know. We got it from a company we work with. She collects handmade jewels from all over Turkey and sells them to us. The necklace is very beautiful. You liked it yesterday – that didn’t escape my notice. Could you give me the address of the company? - Of course. I’ll call them, and you can ask them whatever you want. - Thank you. Halo? Chief? - Omer, did you hear the news? What news? - Huseyin Demir and Fatih Dundar escaped from prison yesterday. They were missing at the morning head count. All divisions have been alerted; they’re looking for them everywhere. They must have crossed the border a long time ago. I’m afraid so. Come here to discuss it. The award ceremony is starting. Your family is here, and you’re not. Okay, I’m coming. - Hurry, we’re waiting for you. Okay. Goodbye. I spoke with someone from the company. They buy goods from several traders. He’s checking for the name of the person who sold them the necklace. He’ll call me when he finds out. Here’s my card – if you find out something, please call me. I wouldn’t bother you if it weren’t a matter of life and death. Please – I’m happy to help you. - Thank you. Uncle Halil, this is Elif’s rent for this month. Okay, but what am I to do now? How will I find another tenant? Uncle Halil, the house is great. You’ll find tenants very quickly. Okay, okay. I’ll accept it because of Elif. I wish you all the best! All the best, Uncle Halil! - Have a good day. Elif, we settled it. So, you and Asli decided for me, and now we’re leaving? Elif, I thought this was what you wanted. Was I wrong? Would you like some coffee? No, there’s something I need to do. I’m going to the boarding house. Call me if you need something. Isn’t this man coming to pick up his prize? There he is, Rifki Abi. We can kill him right here, right now, if you want. - No, that would spoil the show for me. But, it would be easier here. We can do it right now. Don’t be a coward! If you can’t do it, I’ll kill you now and find someone else. Got it? I’m Chief Inspector Omer Demir. - I need to take your weapon, inspector. I cannot give away my weapon, sorry. - Such are the rules, inspector. The station’s director is in there. I have to take it. Look, I’m being threatened. I hope these security measures apply not only to me. No worries, Chief Inspector Demir. Nothing bad can happen to you while we are here. Okay, I trust you. Mister Omer, it’s your turn. - Okay, I’m cming. Now, I have the pleasure to present one of our worthiest police officers – Omer Demir. As you all know, Chief Inspector Omer Demir, together with his team, uncovered one of the biggest money laundering crime organizations in the country. He handed in all the criminals and brought them to justice. All those involved in the crimes are now in jail. He and his team achieved this through a lot of hard work and patience, and without social discrimination. I have the great pleasure to award his important contribution to our profession. I wish you even greater success, Omer! Here! Success number one. Looks like we got rid of Omer Demir. Looks like it, but our man was killed by the police. Don’t worry – I’ll say a prayer for him. Where are the others? Huseyin Demir is gone, the scoundrel! But, I found the man who hides Fatih Dundar. His name’s Necdet. I’ll catch them both very soon. I want them dead! Everyone should get their punishment - even if he were my own son. Understood. He has a bullet in his head. Call the surgeons and the X-Ray department immediately. - The operating room is ready! Omer! Omer! Your manager called! Rifki was at the entry. He was watching everything. They’re checking the footage from the security cameras now. Let’s go. - Come on, buddy Fatih, where are we? Is this really Istanbul? Where’s Necdet? - He’s coming. Don’t worry, beautiful. Congratulations Fatih Abi! - Thank you Neco. You have helped us a lot, thank you. - I did my best, Fatih Abi. You shouldn’t be seen so much. You said you’d take us some place. Let’s go. This is it, Abi. You’re staying here. It’s affordable, and no one will come looking for you here. Good work. I’ll unlock the door, Abi. Fatih, are we really going to live here? Are you sure? Don’t be so skeptical. I’ll make it the coziest place to live. Come. Throw the gun down. Hands up! Hands up! Where are you going, huh? Where are you going? Tayyar’s dog! What an untouchable man you are, Omer Demir! What can I do? A lot of people pray for me. Now tell me, who else did you send your dogs after? - No one - just you. Is that so? Move! Open the door! Come, we started cleaning up. Fatih, how can we raise a child here? A child doesn’t expect luxury and comfort, my beautiful. It just needs love and attention. We can both give her these, thank God. Let me call my sisters and ask them for help. I haven’t seen them for months, but they wouldn’t let me live here. My girl, we have taken a new road. If you tell your sisters, they’ll give me away. I promise you. I’ll sell lemons or carry stones on my back, but I won’t keep you with dirty money. This is our way. Don’t get your sisters involved. Trust me! I do trust you. I would die for you, Fatih! Hello? Tell Rifki that I found Fatih’s refuge. I’m waiting for his orders. Ah, Arda… take him to the interrogation room. - Of course, inspector. Are you okay, Omer? - I am, Boss. I spoke with the doctors. Your brother is in very bad condition. They will be operating until morning. Do you want to stay here or go to your family in the hospital? Answer it… answer it. - Excuse me. Hello? Hello, Omer Bey. I’m calling from the shop on Bagdad Street. I have been waiting for your call. I found who made the necklace. It was a secret. First, they said they couldn’t tell me, but I made up a story and found out. If you want the address, I can text it to you. I will never forget what you did for me. I owe you. I hope you find what you’re looking for. - That’s my only dream. Thank you. You have to attend the interrogation; it’s your right. You need to make Rifki talk. We need to find who the corrupt policemen are. Then, there’s Fatih Dundar. He’s disappeared. The cameras show Nilufer Denizer helped him escape. Omer, your brother… - Boss, I quit. I don’t understand. I’m sure the boys will find him. I’m leaving everything behind. I’m done. What are you leaving, son? - The police. Boss, I love my job, and I’ve always done it gladly. I’ve been fighting for justice since I was 17 years old. I’ve lost a lot of things in the process. I have one hope for happiness. I don’t want to lose it too. Understand me and accept my resignation. Omer, calm down. I am calm, Boss - calmer than I’ve ever been before. My decision is final. Thank you. Thank you for everything. Yenge, I’m going to find Elif. I don’t want to be too late. I entrust you with the kids, mother and my brother. Don’t worry, I’ll always help you. I’ll always be with you in my heart and in my mind. Omer, Brother, don’t worry. I’ll take care of everyone. Don’t sacrifice yourself for us anymore. Now’s the time for you to be happy. Go and take care of the person you love. Thank you, Abla. Thank you. May God look after all of you! There’s a truck coming tomorrow at noon to take all the stuff to the warehouse. Tomorrow night you and I will be on the plane to Rome. Thank you for everything. - Just keep smiling - that’s all I want. The next day… Love can withstand anything. Only time lacks strength. You know how people say that time cures everything? This is because time erases everything – pain, but also love. It’s not love that can withstand anything, but affection. Signorina, love is one thing, affection – another. This is the last affection for you and me, believe me. Good morning, Uncle Mustafa. One bagel, please. Uncle Mustafa, make that two! Good morning. - Good morning. So, Elif – tomorrow we’ll be in Rome. How does that feel? Would you really change your life for me? Sure I would. Elif, we are a family now. Come on, don’t look so sulky anymore. Look, we’ll turn over a new leaf. Haven’t we done it before? I find it very exciting! Let’s go have our last breakfast at Uncle Halil’s. - Okay. Let’s see who gets to Uncle Halil’s first! - Let’s! Come – I want to show you something. Close your eyes. Good. Did you make that? I know a painter who actually paints queens, but… I wanted to tell the story of our love, so this may have influenced me. Thank you so much. This is the prettiest kid’s room I’ve ever seen. You’re the sun that has risen in my life. You and our daughter. I’ll make you happy. I’ll keep you happy until the end of our lives. Coffee’s on me. - Wait, I already packed the cups. I’ll take care of it. I will. You take care of your stuff. You’re right; I couldn’t find the cups. Wait, I’ll help you. - No, no… I can handle it. I got it. I got it. You’re so stubborn! I guess this is not the first time you’ve heard that. You did everything yourself; you didn’t let me help you at all. Elif… If you want to cry, cry. I’ll understand. You’ve made a very hard decision about your life. But don’t forget that I’ll always be by your side. Feel a little better? Then show me where the cups are. We’ll have some coffee, and then get on with the packing. Good idea. Good idea. - Come. Here they are. I’d do anything to bring back your smile. I’ll answer it. Can I talk to Elif? I’m Omer Demir. Elif? Hello. - Hello. Can I have a word if you’re free? Elif. I don’t think that’s a good idea, Omer. - I insist. Please, it won’t take much time. Look, she doesn’t want to talk to you. Didn’t you hear her? Will you please leave? Look, I don’t know you, and I don’t want to know you. Got that? Come. Five minutes won’t kill you. Wait, wait, what are you doing? Not once can you do it properly, can you? I wanted to, but you wouldn’t listen to me. Come. Elif… You look good. You must be wondering why I’m here after so many months… You’re right. It took me too much time. But, not because I didn’t love you. I mean, I was a little lost. - I don’t care, Omer. If you had loved me as you say, you wouldn’t have been lost. You’re right. Don’t you have anything else to say? - I don’t. Looks like it’s too late to tell you anything. So, all this… was for nothing? Is that all? - You didn’t give me a choice. You’re right. You’re tired of waiting. You’re tired of the pain. Life without you is not worth living. If you say so, so be it. Elif.... Why did he come? He came, but he didn’t say anything. To hurt me. Okay, okay… Stop crying… he’s not worth it. Look, Elif, you’ve made a decision. We’re leaving. You have to be strong. Ege, when I see him, I can’t think. My mind is silent, and my heart starts talking. And it keeps talking! It won’t shut up. It’s full of feeling - love, anger… but it still talks, you see? Only Omer doesn’t talk. Only Omer doesn’t talk. Elif, enough. Forget about that man… forget that he came here. Don’t let him hurt you again, please! Don’t cry. Thank you, but I’d better stay alone. - Okay. Okay. Stop, stop, stop! Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Get out of my way, okay? - I will, but I want to tell you something first. Go away and don’t come back! And you’ll leave that girl alone. Got that? Are you giving me orders? I know very well what’s good for Elif. Really? It doesn’t look that way. You only upset her most selfishly! What? Are you judging me? What do you know about us? Elif has told me everything, okay? Is that so? Then she must have told you how short-tempered I am. Get out of my way. And what if I don’t? - Get away, or I’ll take it out on you. I know your type. Men like you just talk. Now, go away! Did you get me now? - Omer, what are you doing? What are you doing, Omer? If Elif means so much to you, stay out of my way! I haven’t been staying with Elif for three days. We’re family. Did you marry this man? Not me, Omer. Asli got married. Don’t you know? Asli? - Yes. Our relationship started when she came to see Elif. We got married a month ago. Excuse me, brother. - I do, but my mouth objects. When I saw you hugging… Inspector, nothing in life is as it seems. Madam, the doctor explained his situation. He was shot in a very bad place. This means there is paralysis. He won’t be able to talk or move. Some believe he might get better, but in my opinion, he’s as good as dead. The doctor already explained this. Please don’t do it again because it makes mother suffer. The important thing is that he can stay in the hospital for several weeks only. Then, we’ll need to discharge him. What will happen then? - You can take him home if you like. They say he cannot get better. He’ll have to serve his sentence in prison. If you don’t want him, he’ll have to stay here. He’ll live as long as he’s meant to, then he’ll die. Okay then, prosecutor… We… let his family think about it. We’ll let you know their decision. Of course, think about it. That’s how it is, unfortunately. It’s hard to make a decision. Now I’m going to complain to my wife about you, inspector. I’ll tell her I got a beating from Colombo because of her. Buddy, I’m really sorry. I saw Asli recently; she didn’t tell me anything. It figures - she’s angry with you. And you know why. Elif, I’m going. See you later. Elif, wait. Let’s talk. Elif! Listen to me! Elif. Elif, listen to me! Hey, what are you doing? Abi, leave the bike! - I’ll buy you ice-cream. Abi, you can’t. Even a person sentenced to death gets a final wish! Good day, Uncle Yashar! Give me a half kilo of peaches. Okay, my girl. I’ve run out of tomatoes, too, so I’ll take a half kilo of tomatoes. Okay. These are not very good. I’ll get you better ones. Are you looking for me? I won’t leave until you listen to me. I won’t. Put them aside for me, Uncle Yashar. I’ll pick them up tonight. Elif, I know you’re angry with me. You think that if I had wanted to come, I would have come months ago. I stopped talking to you a long time ago, inspector. But look… I came. I’m here. Let’s talk. Why now? - I missed you a lot. I missed you a lot too. I was waiting for you. But it goes away, don’t worry. It doesn’t, Elif. It won’t. You taught me the most important lesson in my life, Elif Denizer. When I had you, I started my life from scratch. Elif, I realized that I can't give you up. For months I've been trying to live alone…without you… I tried to live, but it is impossible. The sun went down. I was without air. I woke up every morning with this emptiness inside me. Elif, I didn't give up on you, but I gave up my profession. I am not a policeman anymore. I know why you got angry, and why you left. Tayyar's death came between us. Elif, that man should not have lived. If the judge had ruled otherwise, I would have never done that. If I had another chance to catch him, I would never do that, Elif. You were right. A father like that can never hug his children in peace. Elif, if love is stained with dirt, it can't prosper. I also know that we are destined to be together. You once asked me how many times one heart can be broken and put back together. Mine got broken into a thousand pieces. I can't do this. Usta, have you seen Ege? - No, I haven't seen him, child. Ok, Elif! I did not understand you, but now I am here. Please don't turn your back on me. Elif! Elif, listen! Omer, our relationship can't start from here. It will never be the same as before. I don't want it to be like before. What we have been through brought us here. I don't want to lose you once more. Where are we going to start from then? - Where we left off. Where are you going to live? - Here! I don't know - whereever you want. What are you going to do for work? - I don't know, Elif. We will decide together. Your family, your friends… You can't be apart from them. You can't handle it, Omer! Elif, I am here. I am next to you. I did that. You will get bored. - We will never know until we live it. After a while you will get angry at me and tell me that I forced you to give up your life. Maybe I will, but maybe you will say that, too. You will say - what happened to our freedom.. We can't be happy with so many “maybes” hanging in the air… Omer, Omer, please... Elif Denizer, our love was so impossible that everyone gave up on us. Do you understand, every time we separated our love got stronger. Yes, maybe I will hurt you again. But this time I am determined that we won’t say: “If only…” Elif, I don't know what the fates will bring us, but I know that I would live anywhere you want to go. If I have to, I will sell lemons, but I will not let you down. I will erase your tears with my love, even if I am not the reason you are crying. My only thought is – to wake up and fall asleep next to you. To wake up to the sound of our children’s steps. I know that among our happy days there will be days when we will feel sad. Even if we don't see them, there might be obstacles to our love. When you said “unconditional love,” I understood that no matter what happens we will always love each other. Unconditional love means to love no matter what happens. You taught me that. Elif, if you will be my wife, I will love you unconditionally no matter how much you change. I will never let go of your hand. If I am still somewhere in your heart… Say: “Yes” Say “yes” and give me a reason to live. I said “yes” the minute you got here. I just wanted to torture you a little bit. Two days later... Do you, Elif Denizer, daughter of Ahmet and Zerrin Denizer, take Omer Demir to be your lawful husband? Yes Do you Omer Demir, son of Burhan and Elvan Demir, take Elif Denizer to be your lawful wife? I am very excited. Forever YES!! Do you agree to this? - We do! Here… By the power vested in me by the state, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You, Signorina and Commissar, will listen to me now. Me. Many of us here learned so much from you. What the word “friend” means… How two hearts can stay together… How to be a good sister. That is what I've learned. Until this moment, you have always put other people’s happiness first, but enough is enough. It is over. We are not here anymore. Forget about us. Yes, forget about everything. I am kidding - don't forget us at all. Love each other and hold on to each other tightly. I am not going to cry. Ok? I love you. First, I want to propose a toast to my husband. Then, to all of you. A person can't choose his family, ... but he can create his own. Thank you all for being my family. It is good to have you. Groom, it is your turn now. Me… There is nothing left to say. Everything has been said. Now, if you will excuse me, I would like to dance with my wife. Omer, we hadn’t thought about this. We don't have music. - Ok, we've taken care of that, no problem. I even selected a song for you. Buddy… So, now you are my husband? - That is what the paper says. But don't get loose. Just because we got married does not mean that we have solved our problems. Each of us should have his/her own space. I think that two people in love should always be as they were at the beginning. What do you… When did you manage to do this? - When I told you I was going to wash my hands. I will do everything to make my wife happy. I am happy either way. I only want to have a peaceful life with you. That life has started. Our lives are intertwined, Signorina.. Where are you going, Ilmaz? We are coming to see you! I am closed. - Open then. Omer, Omer! Please stay out of it. - Who are those people? I can tell you that they are a local gang, and you can think of the rest… May your work be easy, Usta! – Thanks, same to you. 20 minute break to eat. Maybe we should open a pastry shop instead of book shop; it looks so beautiful. If you do that I will be a regular customer. Very funny. This will be a book store. Let me see! I took my piece, and now I am going to the pension. I will come back later. May your work be easy. - Thank you. Nothing again? There is no work for me in this country. I will have to go abroad. But, I will need fake passports, and fake passports are expensive. I don't know what to do. Look what your daughter is saying. Gunes says: “You are a great father, Daddy!” Don't worry everything will be fine. Huseyin Demir said something to me: {\i1}“A man who causes pain to others ends up suffering the most.{\i0} Everything will be fine. - You are my hope. I am going for a walk. I am going for a walk. Abi, Rifki was going to give me an order. That’s why I haven’t got him yet. I am waiting for the command. He has been in the investigation room for days. I hardly got to see him today. He ordered that Fatih Dundar should be killed today. I understand. I made the interior last night while you were sleeping. You drew it? Signorina, aren’t we going to open a bookstore? I will call the craftsman, and he will come here and set up the shelves. It is not going to be that easy. There will be a chair for reading, coffee for those who want it, and I thought that there might be a small kitchen. And two retro tables… what do you think? What do you think? Will Baby Masal be able to take you away from all the books? Who knows? We do, Signorina - we do. Ok, we have a decision. There is no time to rest until Baby Masal comes into this world. We have been following this man for days now, and he still hasn’t met up with Fatih. Maybe he will meet him now; maybe we will catch Fatih. I hope so. Arda, I been wanting to tell you something, but you were on duty last night. Tell me now. I don't want to let this guy out of my sight. I don't want to lose him. I am pregnant. What? – Arda, what did you just do? We lost the man! – Are you serious? It is too soon, right? We didn't wait, plus we have Yagiz, and he will be angry… What is going to happen? He will be a big brother. Pelo, this is the best news in my life. Yes, Tolga! Devrem, I have bomba news for you! It had better be an atomic bomb; otherwise, it will be bad for you. Fatih Dundar is at Tayyar Dundar's grave. Ok, you watch him - we are coming now. Ok, Devrem. May he rest in peace, Abi! Do you want water to spill on his grave?It is a blessing. I am collecting money for school, Abi! Give me how much you can. Here you go. - You leave the gallon jug here, and I will take it when I come back? Fine. You are not worth even a cent in this world. You managed to destroy everything that was around you. You left just like that! Without a drop of love. What are you going to say? You died, but your curse stayed with me. Is there anyone who is a more unjust person in this world, Tayyar Dundar? You destroyed my life. I can never be happy - whatever I do or wherever I go. I can’t make my wife happy. Because of you! I hope you burn in hell! Elif, you chose a color that has to be painted many times before it turns out nice. But, it will be so beautiful. - Yes it will; it will be so beautiful. No, don’t hit me! Leave me alone. Please! Leave me alone! Something is going on… Uncle Yilmaz… Uncle Yilmaz, do you hear me? - Yilmaz Abi? Uncle Yilmaz… Omer… Uncle Yilmaz… - He is unconscious. Uncle Yilmaz… Uncle Yilmaz, do you hear me? - Yilmaz Abi, are you ok? They are here. Go inside without running. Be careful. Aunt Melike, we are thirsty! Ok, darling, I will bring you water. Go on inside and play quietly. Mom, I think it is better for me not to take them to the park. It is too hard. What can we do, Child? We haven’t managed to put some toys in the yard; otherwise, they could play here. But everything will be fine. Hayrie started working, and we will take care of her children. Have some patience. I will turn the yard into a children’s playground. You will play beautifully. I will bring you water - you play. What is happening? The maniac has been screaming at the grave for an hour. Let’s arrest him. Fatih! Fatih, stop! Stop! Pelo, don't run. You watch from here. Don't leave Pelo alone. Come here and sit down. Does your head hurt? I will get you a glass of water. What did those man want from you? Money! It has been a month or two since they last came here, and if I don't give them money, they beat me. They want my store. They are saying that I should go away, and that they will run it. Ok, where can I find them? This is the end, Fatih Dundar. You managed to pray for your father. Now, say your last prayer. Greetings from Rifki. Put the gun down, police! Go and leave me alone - don't make me break my promise. Drop the weapon, Fatih. Drop it, Fatih. Hands up in the air and get down. Arda, please let me go. Yeah, sure… I will arrest you every week. Go, Fatih, I am sure that your cellmates are waiting for you. You saw it yourself! If they don't kill me, they will kill my wife and my child. Arda! - Walk! Arda, please don't do this! - What are you doing here? I got worried about you. - You did very well. You are coming with us, too. You know what you have done. Leave us alone, Arda. For a man who escaped from prison, life is itself a prison. Don't tire yourself, Nilufer. It is over. - No it is not! We have suffered enough, and we are still suffering. Look, we don't have a house or much to eat. All we have is our dreams, and one of them is to raise our daughter together. Please, don't leave my daughter without a father. We really don't want anything bad to happen. We are just trying to start a new life. We are serving our sentence in one way or another. Let Nilufer go, Arda. Her life is not going to be easy. You are still not a father, so maybe you will not understand me - but you are a good person. Do a good deed for us. Don't waste your time. You always did good deeds for us. I will pay you and Omer back. It is enough for me that you not do bad things anymore. Go on now. Disappear. Thank you very much. They are not on the other side. - Where are they! I can't wait. I am going. Arda, where is Fatih? He ran away. As you know, he has long legs. How is that possible? If you needed help, you could have called us. Let it go now... Look at Yagiz. He is going to be a big brother, Uncle. - Arda! That is why you didn't allow Pelin to run? There is no more running for my wife. Abi,that is great news. Congratulations, Buddy! - Thanks! Congratulations! - Thanks! Come on, Mommy! Children, come on hurry ! - I have made you pastry! Is there no spicy, Mother Melike? I love spicy. Mother, did you hear him? He wants spicy, little donkey. He is just like his Uncle Omer. He puffed his cheeks at that age… Take this… Now you are burning inside to get a glass of water, ha? Omer, if I put this color on, the blue will be different? Where were you? - Here I am! You went to the police station, didn’t you? Because of Yilmaz Abi? Did you get the paint? Good! Where will we put this shade of blue? You owe me an explanation, Omer. Why did you go to the police station? Because I wanted to be sure. - About what? I wanted to see if they were collecting the statements as they should, and if they are hiding them.It is good that I went. I wanted to tell them what the men looked like and to draw him, but there was no artist. I thought that maybe you could do it. - I will not. Why? What do you mean why? Omer we are starting a new life here. Didn't we say that we are going to live a happy and peaceful life? Haven’t we agreed that we are not going to interfere in people’s live if they don't mess with us? Ok, I could not resist. What can I do? We did what we had to do. We called the police. Searched for the people - filed a complaint. From now on, let the police take care of it. I went as a citizen and filed a complaint. The old Omer would have run after them. But look, here I am. I know what will happen later. You will make this your problem, and then those people will come after you. You are right. Come on, let us finish painting. There is so much work to do. You understand me, right? - I understand you, because I am on your side. Ok. Then let us finish. painting today, Omer Demir. Ok, Elif Demir – Elif Denizer - Demir We have become very modern, very feminist. Ok, let it be Elif Denizer Demir. Look at this! The police were supposed to come and arrest them, and they are still doing what they want. Who are they working for? They will take Uncle Hilal. Omer, Omer come and see this. They are putting Uncle Hilal in the car, Omer! - What is going on? Where is the police? They are kidnapping a man! Where is the police? Omer, his grandchildren are over there. - I know, Elif… I know. {\i1}Signorina, admit that your soul likes danger.{\i1} {\i1}But, what can we do? Should we look away at the injustice?{\i0} {\i1}You and I are the same. We can't stay quiet when people are hurting.{\i0} {\i1}Let us not be quiet, my love. We are strong. We will not allow the weak to suffer.{\i0} {\i1}As long as we are together, we will not give up on that.{\i0} {\i1}Then be ready, Commissar. This won't end here.{\i0} {\i1}It should not end, Signorina. I am with you whatever you decide.{\i0}
