EPISODE 4
ACCIDEN
AMBULANCE
POLICE
[indistinct chatter]
- Welcome, sir.
- [Cüneyt] Thank you.
[Akif] We found this.
Think it's Kemal's?
We'll cross-reference it.
Where was it found?
Over there on the bank.
I've called for divers.
I figured you'd want
to start looking from here.
Looks like your driver drove
all the way out here, stopped,
and then went back.
You think he was in a hurry?
Maybe he dumped the body here and escaped.
There's no escape.
- He can't run away, Akif.
- [tense music playing]
The truth always surfaces sooner or later.
[intriguing music playing]
Akif, give us a moment, please.
- You should have dessert.
- Okay. Here, sir.
Thank you.
What can I get you, sir?
They have some amazing stuff here.
- Cut the crap, Cüneyt.
- [intriguing music fades]
All right?
Start talking already.
Tell you what?
The shit you've been doing.
You mean the Kuyern thing?
I vouched for you, for God's sake.
Didn't I tell you that we would both
go down if you messed up, huh?
How did I mess up?
I was standing right behind you
when you requested
the Servet Karaman file.
- I didn't ask for anything.
- [dramatic music playing]
The brass asked for it.
The brass, my ass.
What's your connection?
What'd you give Payen Kuyern
to pull off something like this?
Huh?
Did Servet offer you a share of the money?
- Watch it, Kemal.
- Piece of shit!
[Cüneyt] Captain, I was going
to keep you updated.
Besides, I still haven't done anything.
The file is sitting on my desk.
How long is it gonna stay there?
Hm? What did they ask you to do?
To keep it buried in some dusty drawer.
[Kemal] It always starts
with small requests like this,
and you end up unable to do your job.
You'll become just like me.
[dramatic music continues]
Don't get carried away.
I'll put an end to this Kuyern shit.
Before they end all of us.
[dramatic music fades]

INCOMING CALL
KEMAL ARGUN
Did you come alone?
You're as hardheaded as
they say, Lieutenant Cüneyt.
Tell me what you really want.
Why don't you do what I tell you?
[intriguing music playing]
Do you see me in your nightmares, Cüneyt?
Do you arrest me in your wildest dreams?
[heavy breathing]
When are we gonna shake hands?
I'd like to know
when the requests will be over.
We should've known
that you were getting paid
by that asshole Servet.
You keep charging us for cases
we take away from Kemal to give you.
My income should increase as well.
Isn't that how the system works?
It does, for people like you
who think money is power.
[man] I have a clear shot.
[Nasuh] But don't worry, as the business
grows bigger, your needs will change.
[intriguing music continues]
I got him. He's in my sight, sir.
[Nasuh] For instance,
we asked you to bring us blood,
and to bring us fresh organs,
but then, instead of a child,
you brought us a completely
worthless police officer.
I didn't wanna be part of it.
I'm not talking about you.
[intriguing music builds to a climax]
- [static]
- [music becomes quiet and dramatic]
Are you okay?
You should write a nice report
to Kemal regarding the sniper.
I didn't pick you because Kemal's old,
but because you're connected
to Social Services.
Now, you'll erase a child's record
and bring them to me.
Welcome to Payen Kuyern.
THE BOY
[giggling]
[quiet, dramatic music continues]
Sir, is there only a father? No mother?
No.
[sighs]
Let's go.
- [quiet, tense music stops]
- [horns honking]
Where are we going, sir?
To your new home.
Really, a new home?
Look, you see this name tag bracelet?
If someone asks, this is you now.
Look what it says here.
Mert.
If you tell them your name is Mert,
you can stay at the house
we're going to, as long as you want.
- Forever?
- Forever.
But if you tell them your real name, then
they'll send you back to the orphanage.
You got me?
I won't tell them.
[ominous music playing]
But where does Mert live now?
Hey, I'm hungry.
Aren't you hungry?
I know a really good place.
Hm? You wanna grab a bite?
Wanna give the bracelet back?
Hm? You don't wanna lose it.
Should I keep it for you?
I'm hungry.
This is something I saw in a dream.
A man was present too.
- [tires screech]
- [thud]
[ominous music swelling]
- [music stops]
- [clicking sound]
12 HOURS BEFORE THE ACCIDEN
TAXI
[lively ethnic music playing]
[Asaf] I'm not an ungrateful son.
I'm not an incompetent husband.
- [man] Dude, it's freezing.
- [Asaf] And I'm not a bad father.
This time Murat, you'll see.
I won't be the loser.
I'll show her that I'm a winner.
[men chattering]
- [exhales deeply]
- [man chuckling] Yeah.
How much do you think
an attorney's salary is?
I have no fucking clue.
Why, do you need one?
I'd be useful
if I were an attorney, wouldn't I?
I could have made a lot of money.
You agree, right?
And what's my job? Driver.
What's a driver?
The car does most of the labor anyway.
This isn't work.
You should see the way she looks at me.
Like I'm a nobody.
As if I don't matter at all.
I know she does it just to hurt me.
She calls me useless.
She says I'm deficient.
Do you know what deficient
even means, huh?
Have you ever used it in a sentence?
Sema enjoys calling me names.
I'm exhausted man.
Come on, drink up and let's go. [sniffs]
[cell phone ringing]
Yeah.
[sighs]
Answer it.
Yeah, what's up, Muzaffer?
Yeah, he's with me.
- What? What's wrong? Who?
- What's wrong?
You got an older brother
called Aziz or something?
[mysterious music playing]
- Mom?
- [chime rings]
[distant siren blaring]
What's wrong? Is it bad?
No, Dad's okay.
They found blood, and he's okay, again.
Thank God.
[cell phone ringing]
Ma?
Aziz called you many times.
He looked for blood all night.
He called and called.
- [moody music playing]
- I'm here, Ma.
You never picked up,
so I told him to stop calling.
You're just worthless.
You can't even give blood
to your own father.
I can smell
the stinking alcohol from here.
[melancholy music playing]
[music fades out]
[siren wailing in distance]
[cell phone ringing]
NEW RIDE
6 KM AWAY
[man] Where are you?
Where the hell are you?
Cancel my ride if you're not coming!
Traffic is clearing up I think.
- [thud]
- [quiet, dramatic music playing]
[groans] Asshole!
[dramatic music swelling]
Sir, hey!
[cars honking]
Look, man, I have people to report to.
Everyone's on edge.
All right, have a good one. Take care.
[gun blast]
[dramatic music becomes quiet]
When I trashed your office, I had no idea
that this was what they wanted you to do.
I told you.
Everyone does the dirty work of someone
else. This is how the system works.
It's not my dirty work.
I didn't kill anybody.
I just moved them.
I never killed anyone, either.
But I buried them all.
- Sir, do you need us to do anything else?
- What?
Servet told us to ask you
about the foundations.
Would you like us to pour another layer?
I know nothing about this.
Pour more if needed.
I can't do that, sir. It's your store now.
We'll pour more in if you want.
Did Servet say that?
Forgive me for asking,
but what kind of store is this?
It was originally planned as an apartment.
What made you change that?
An accident.
[dramatic music playing]
[Nasuh] Asaf.
Now you know what you have to do.
There is no way out of Payen Kuyern.
[tires screech]
Get the car ready for tonight.
I have an urgent matter.
There are other customers.
I've had my fill
of waiting around for other people.
But I'm done waiting. Hold this.
Come on, what are you doing, sir?
You know about how they take some
collateral until their demands are met.
I mean, Payen Kuyern,
that's how they operate. Isn't that right?
Don't believe their promises
of making easy money.
I'll take that ring back. Quick.
[dramatic music continues]
[music fades]
FAMILY AND SOCIAL SERVICES
[door opens]
Thank you.
Don't leave after the meeting,
because the social worker will see you.
No problem.
- Hello.
- Hello. This way.
Hey.
Let's get out of here.
We'll get out of here in a minute.
But, um, before that, I'm gonna
need your help with something.
Or I'll never see my son again.
His mother doesn't want me
to see him anymore.
She's scared that he could go
missing again because of me.
You went missing too
but you're not scared at all.
I promise I won't send you
anywhere for now.
You promise?
I do.
Now tell me how you got
in my car that night.
I was hiding in the apartment.
What apartment?
Was the apartment close to where I parked
my car that night? Is that the address?
The policeman's apartment.
Would you remember his face?
Um, was it maybe this policeman?
- [tense music playing]
- [Kemal] Get in that closet, now.
Just wait in there,
and don't come out, okay?
All right, go in there, come on. Go.
A car is on its way
to take you away from here.
Where did this policeman go after that?
Um, I don't know anything. I just don't.
- [sipping]
- [dramatic music playing]
Trust me.
[Rüya] Are you looking for Kemal Argun?
[music stops]
[siren blaring]
No comment.
There's no story for you here, Rüya.
Seems like you know who I am.
And I know you, Lieutenant Bozkurt.
Captain Argun had quite
a bit to say about you.
What's that supposed to mean?
Were you close to the captain?
Close enough to worry
about him more than you do.
Just one question.
Why aren't you looking for Kemal Argun?
You're wrong.
So why don't you ask me then?
I received a text from Kemal
on the night he went missing.
Why didn't you ask
what that message was about?
Aren't you curious about the package?
Kemal Argun gave you some package?
You tell me, Lieutenant.
If you had that package,
you wouldn't be here to ask me about it.
[mysterious music playing]
[Kemal] Rüya, your phone is off.
I found the package for the exchange.
We have no time. You need to come
get it now. Where are you?
- Have a good one.
- Thanks.
Cüneyt, that Asaf guy you gave me
is a victim of Payen Kuyern. He
[mysterious music fades]
Did you put the driver in jail?
Which driver?
Remember the accident?
[tense music playing]
[Nasuh] We gave you a task,
but it cost us dearly, Lieutenant.
I picked the kid up yesterday.
But when I didn't hear from you
- The kid is still with me.
- [Nasuh] I'm not talking about that.
Do you know what happened yesterday?
Some asshole wrecked my car.
The car is in rough shape.
I was there. My men took him into custody.
We're looking into it.
Who is he?
Why did he do it?
Why did he smash up the car?
I'm not sure.
We'll find out what his problem is.
[tense music continues]
You know, I already have a home.
Can you take me home?
Who are you, kid?
Look, I'm Mert. When are we going home?
Mert, how do you know about the accident?
I was on my way home with him.
We had an accident.
I'll release the man
who smashed the car and send him to you.
Someone will bring him your way.
So, you were in the car with Mr. Cüneyt?
What kind of a car were you in?
Let's see.
Was it a black SUV, Mert?
How about you show it to me, kiddo?
You can go home after that.
I'll find the package, you'll see.
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades]
I need information about the boy.
Sir, you made us burn that file.
The police came here,
even though you said no one would.
I didn't tell them anything.
[tense music plays and ends]
- Welcome, sir.
- Thank you.
Sir, I called you,
but I was unable to reach you again.
Oh, you did?
Let me see.
The battery's probably dead or something.
Why did you call me?
Sir, I just wanted to ask you
if you needed anything from me.
All I need from you is my car.
Your car is fine, sir.
I mean, I got that, don't worry.
Listen.
- Asaf, if I may.
- Hm?
Our mechanic found something in the trunk.
- What do you mean?
- [mysterious music playing]
There you are.
Take a look.
[mysterious music fades]
Thank you, sir, much appreciated.
- I have a question if you don't mind.
- Sure.
How come you keep this cellphone, sir?
Why not?
You know, you could get
a burner phone out there.
I mean, isn't it how this job works?
So that no one finds out
anything about Payen Kuyern?
- Şerif.
- Yep.
I need my car now.
Sure, sir. Yeah, right away.
Here you go, Mr. Erdem.
What's this?
Sir, your car need more than a day
of repairs, and I apologize for that.
I also understand your preference
for not flaunting your car or phone.
So, I didn't want to inconvenience you.
- [horn honks]
- [intriguing music playing]
Sir, we also own a car dealership
business, and İrfan and the guys run that.
And they want to meet you.
If that's possible.
Sure, tell İrfan we can meet.
[Şerif] Thank you, sir.
[engine starts]
[intriguing music continues]
[intriguing music fades]
[music playing over speaker]
- [Sema] Asaf?
- Sema.
- Well, um
- What?
I invited him to lunch
to apologize for what you did.
Did you really?
- Hey, Asaf.
- Hm?
- Please don't do anything.
- I won't.
- Did you hear me?
- I said I won't. Calm down.
Wait.
I apologize.
What?
I just lost all self-control that day.
When it comes to Atlas, I can see red.
Yeah.
See you at the courthouse.
Daddy!
Atlas.
What's up, son?
I'm good.
What's this?
I made a drawing.
He's well-advised, obviously.
He must've found a lawyer now.
He doesn't want his tendency towards
violence to come up in court. Bastard.
What are you talking about, Harun?
What violent tendency do you mean?
Asaf has always been kind to me and Atlas.
Sema,
do you want to divorce him or are you
still uncertain about your decision?
Who are they?
This is me, here,
that's Mom, and here is you.
Really? Do I own
a green pair of pants like that?
Here, my boy.
- Need anything from me?
- No.
Are you all right?
Mmm.
Go to your mother, go.
[Rüya] Asaf.
- [Sema] Hey, kiddo. How was school today?
- [Atlas] Good. Hi, Mom.
- Are you stalking me now?
- What else do you expect me to do?
They threatened you? Talk to me.
You know you can tell me about it.
[intriguing music playing]
- [car beeps]
- What are you hiding, Asaf?
I'm not hiding anything from you.
What do you mean you're not? What's that?
Rüya, you should let this go.
I'm serious about that.
This is on a different level.
Much more complicated than you think.
I love your new car, is it brand new?
The informant didn't give you anything?
I told you we didn't meet.
No, he didn't give me anything.
Enough, all right.
If you're not gonna be honest with me,
we can't work this out together.
Is this the place?
I'll figure out the rest myself.
What? Rüya, what do you mean?
How are you going to solve this on
your own? This is bigger than any of us.
[intriguing music ends]
[pop music playing]
Can't go in!
What's this?
Uh
This gentleman is with me.
All right.

[Cüneyt] Rüya Deren.
You're under arrest
for the murder of Kemal Argun.
Take her away.
Come on, take her away.
- Yes, sir. Come with me.
- Wait.
- Take her.
- Wait a minute. Let go of me!
Stop this nonsense!
What the hell are you doing, Bozkurt?
Can someone explain to me
what's going on? I'm a journalist.
Bring the boy to me tomorrow,

[dramatic action music continues]
[music fades]
[indistinct chatter]
Good morning.
Look. This is your boy's work!
Can I see him? No one's taken him, right?
He's in the yard.
You didn't see him, I guess.
- I'll go look for him.
- Yeah.
Hey, kiddo! Atlas!
- [children screaming]
- Careful, careful.
Where are you?
[monitor humming]
[sighs]
You're actually sneaking up on me.
You told them you weren't going anywhere.
I told them you were picking me up.
Did you bite that guy?
Things happened.
Look, I need to talk to you
about some stuff, all right?
There are human beings who are both nice
and mean, in the world, you know?
I know that you are a good person, Asaf.
[dramatic music playing]
You see, when nice people become
desperate, or get in serious trouble,
social workers are there
to make sure children are safe.
For a while, at least, to figure
some things out and find a solution.
You understand?
So, grown-ups
do all they can to protect children,
but they still have
to make tough decisions
that children
don't necessarily understand.
You promised me.
You promised me!
You promised me!
You promised me!

No! Don't let him take me!
Don't let him take me, Asaf!
He did it! It was him!
It was him! He did it!
[Kemal] You need to get into that closet.
Just wait in there,
and don't come out, okay?
- All right. Go in there, come on. Go.

A car is on its way

Are they going to take me home?
Sure, they're gonna take you home.
Get in there now.

I'll arrest Nasuh in the morning.
And to arrest me as well, right?
Huh?
What was your plan?
I told you not to get carried away.
That I would end Payen Kuyern.
You planned to do that how?
The boy is your evidence?
You saw your personal address
and thought the boy was the package.
Kemal
The package is not the boy.
Nasuh doesn't give a damn about the boy.

[indistinct chatter]
- Welcome, sir.
- [Cüneyt] Thank you.
[Akif] We found this.
Think it's Kemal's?
We'll cross-reference it.
Where was it found?
Over there on the bank.
I've called for divers.
I figured you'd want
to start looking from here.
Looks like your driver drove
all the way out here, stopped,
and then went back.
You think he was in a hurry?
Maybe he dumped the body here and escaped.
There's no escape.
- He can't run away, Akif.
- [tense music playing]
The truth always surfaces sooner or later.
[intriguing music playing]
Akif, give us a moment, please.
- You should have dessert.
- Okay. Here, sir.
Thank you.
What can I get you, sir?
They have some amazing stuff here.
- Cut the crap, Cüneyt.
- [intriguing music fades]
All right?
Start talking already.
Tell you what?
The shit you've been doing.
You mean the Kuyern thing?
I vouched for you, for God's sake.
Didn't I tell you that we would both
go down if you messed up, huh?
How did I mess up?
I was standing right behind you
when you requested
the Servet Karaman file.
- I didn't ask for anything.
- [dramatic music playing]
The brass asked for it.
The brass, my ass.
What's your connection?
What'd you give Payen Kuyern
to pull off something like this?
Huh?
Did Servet offer you a share of the money?
- Watch it, Kemal.
- Piece of shit!
[Cüneyt] Captain, I was going
to keep you updated.
Besides, I still haven't done anything.
The file is sitting on my desk.
How long is it gonna stay there?
Hm? What did they ask you to do?
To keep it buried in some dusty drawer.
[Kemal] It always starts
with small requests like this,
and you end up unable to do your job.
You'll become just like me.
[dramatic music continues]
Don't get carried away.
I'll put an end to this Kuyern shit.
Before they end all of us.

Did you come alone?
You're as hardheaded as

Tell me what you really want.
Why don't you do what I tell you?

Do you see me in your nightmares, Cüneyt?
Do you arrest me in your wildest dreams?

When are we gonna shake hands?
I'd like to know
when the requests will be over.
We should've known
that you were getting paid
by that asshole Servet.
You keep charging us for cases
we take away from Kemal to give you.
My income should increase as well.
Isn't that how the system works?
It does, for people like you
who think money is power.
[man] I have a clear shot.
[Nasuh] But don't worry, as the business
grows bigger, your needs will change.
[intriguing music continues]
I got him. He's in my sight, sir.
[Nasuh] For instance,
we asked you to bring us blood,
and to bring us fresh organs,
but then, instead of a child,
you brought us a completely
worthless police officer.
I didn't wanna be part of it.
I'm not talking about you.
[intriguing music builds to a climax]
- [static]
- [music becomes quiet and dramatic]
Are you okay?
You should write a nice report
to Kemal regarding the sniper.
I didn't pick you because Kemal's old,
but because you're connected
to Social Services.
Now, you'll erase a child's record
and bring them to me.
Welcome to Payen Kuyern.
THE BOY
[giggling]
[quiet, dramatic music continues]
Sir, is there only a father? No mother?
No.
[sighs]
Let's go.
- [quiet, tense music stops]
- [horns honking]
Where are we going, sir?
To your new home.
Really, a new home?
Look, you see this name tag bracelet?
If someone asks, this is you now.
Look what it says here.
Mert.
If you tell them your name is Mert,
you can stay at the house
we're going to, as long as you want.
- Forever?
- Forever.
But if you tell them your real name, then
they'll send you back to the orphanage.
You got me?
I won't tell them.
[ominous music playing]
But where does Mert live now?
Hey, I'm hungry.
Aren't you hungry?
I know a really good place.
Hm? You wanna grab a bite?
Wanna give the bracelet back?
Hm? You don't wanna lose it.
Should I keep it for you?
I'm hungry.
This is something I saw in a dream.
A man was present too.

12 HOURS BEFORE THE ACCIDEN
TAXI
[lively ethnic music playing]
[Asaf] I'm not an ungrateful son.
I'm not an incompetent husband.
- [man] Dude, it's freezing.
- [Asaf] And I'm not a bad father.
This time Murat, you'll see.
I won't be the loser.
I'll show her that I'm a winner.
[men chattering]
- [exhales deeply]
- [man chuckling] Yeah.
How much do you think
an attorney's salary is?
I have no fucking clue.
Why, do you need one?
I'd be useful
if I were an attorney, wouldn't I?
I could have made a lot of money.
You agree, right?
And what's my job? Driver.
What's a driver?
The car does most of the labor anyway.
This isn't work.
You should see the way she looks at me.
Like I'm a nobody.
As if I don't matter at all.
I know she does it just to hurt me.
She calls me useless.
She says I'm deficient.
Do you know what deficient
even means, huh?
Have you ever used it in a sentence?
Sema enjoys calling me names.
I'm exhausted man.
Come on, drink up and let's go. [sniffs]
[cell phone ringing]
Yeah.
[sighs]
Answer it.
Yeah, what's up, Muzaffer?
Yeah, he's with me.
- What? What's wrong? Who?
- What's wrong?
You got an older brother
called Aziz or something?
[mysterious music playing]
- Mom?
- [chime rings]
[distant siren blaring]
What's wrong? Is it bad?
No, Dad's okay.
They found blood, and he's okay, again.
Thank God.
[cell phone ringing]
Ma?
Aziz called you many times.
He looked for blood all night.
He called and called.
- [moody music playing]
- I'm here, Ma.
You never picked up,
so I told him to stop calling.
You're just worthless.
You can't even give blood
to your own father.
I can smell
the stinking alcohol from here.

NEW RIDE
6 KM AWAY
[man] Where are you?
Where the hell are you?
Cancel my ride if you're not coming!
Traffic is clearing up I think.
- [thud]
- [quiet, dramatic music playing]
[groans] Asshole!
[dramatic music swelling]
Sir, hey!
[cars honking]
Look, man, I have people to report to.
Everyone's on edge.
All right, have a good one. Take care.
[gun blast]
[dramatic music becomes quiet]
When I trashed your office, I had no idea
that this was what they wanted you to do.
I told you.
Everyone does the dirty work of someone
else. This is how the system works.
It's not my dirty work.
I didn't kill anybody.
I just moved them.
I never killed anyone, either.
But I buried them all.
- Sir, do you need us to do anything else?
- What?
Servet told us to ask you
about the foundations.
Would you like us to pour another layer?
I know nothing about this.
Pour more if needed.
I can't do that, sir. It's your store now.
We'll pour more in if you want.
Did Servet say that?
Forgive me for asking,
but what kind of store is this?
It was originally planned as an apartment.
What made you change that?
An accident.
[dramatic music playing]
[Nasuh] Asaf.
Now you know what you have to do.
There is no way out of Payen Kuyern.
[tires screech]
Get the car ready for tonight.
I have an urgent matter.
There are other customers.
I've had my fill
of waiting around for other people.
But I'm done waiting. Hold this.
Come on, what are you doing, sir?
You know about how they take some
collateral until their demands are met.
I mean, Payen Kuyern,
that's how they operate. Isn't that right?
Don't believe their promises
of making easy money.
I'll take that ring back. Quick.
[dramatic music continues]
[music fades]
FAMILY AND SOCIAL SERVICES
[door opens]
Thank you.
Don't leave after the meeting,
because the social worker will see you.
No problem.
- Hello.
- Hello. This way.
Hey.
Let's get out of here.
We'll get out of here in a minute.
But, um, before that, I'm gonna
need your help with something.
Or I'll never see my son again.
His mother doesn't want me
to see him anymore.
She's scared that he could go
missing again because of me.
You went missing too
but you're not scared at all.
I promise I won't send you
anywhere for now.
You promise?
I do.
Now tell me how you got
in my car that night.
I was hiding in the apartment.
What apartment?
Was the apartment close to where I parked
my car that night? Is that the address?
The policeman's apartment.
Would you remember his face?
Um, was it maybe this policeman?
- [tense music playing]
- [Kemal] Get in that closet, now.
Just wait in there,
and don't come out, okay?
All right, go in there, come on. Go.
A car is on its way
to take you away from here.
Where did this policeman go after that?
Um, I don't know anything. I just don't.
- [sipping]
- [dramatic music playing]
Trust me.
[Rüya] Are you looking for Kemal Argun?
[music stops]
[siren blaring]
No comment.
There's no story for you here, Rüya.
Seems like you know who I am.
And I know you, Lieutenant Bozkurt.
Captain Argun had quite
a bit to say about you.
What's that supposed to mean?
Were you close to the captain?
Close enough to worry
about him more than you do.
Just one question.
Why aren't you looking for Kemal Argun?
You're wrong.
So why don't you ask me then?
I received a text from Kemal
on the night he went missing.
Why didn't you ask
what that message was about?
Aren't you curious about the package?
Kemal Argun gave you some package?
You tell me, Lieutenant.
If you had that package,
you wouldn't be here to ask me about it.
[mysterious music playing]
[Kemal] Rüya, your phone is off.
I found the package for the exchange.
We have no time. You need to come
get it now. Where are you?
- Have a good one.
- Thanks.
Cüneyt, that Asaf guy you gave me
is a victim of Payen Kuyern. He
[mysterious music fades]
Did you put the driver in jail?
Which driver?
Remember the accident?
[tense music playing]
[Nasuh] We gave you a task,
but it cost us dearly, Lieutenant.
I picked the kid up yesterday.
But when I didn't hear from you
- The kid is still with me.
- [Nasuh] I'm not talking about that.
Do you know what happened yesterday?
Some asshole wrecked my car.
The car is in rough shape.
I was there. My men took him into custody.
We're looking into it.
Who is he?
Why did he do it?
Why did he smash up the car?
I'm not sure.
We'll find out what his problem is.
[tense music continues]
You know, I already have a home.
Can you take me home?
Who are you, kid?
Look, I'm Mert. When are we going home?
Mert, how do you know about the accident?
I was on my way home with him.
We had an accident.
I'll release the man
who smashed the car and send him to you.
Someone will bring him your way.
So, you were in the car with Mr. Cüneyt?
What kind of a car were you in?
Let's see.
Was it a black SUV, Mert?
How about you show it to me, kiddo?
You can go home after that.
I'll find the package, you'll see.
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades]
I need information about the boy.
Sir, you made us burn that file.
The police came here,
even though you said no one would.
I didn't tell them anything.
[tense music plays and ends]
- Welcome, sir.
- Thank you.
Sir, I called you,
but I was unable to reach you again.
Oh, you did?
Let me see.
The battery's probably dead or something.
Why did you call me?
Sir, I just wanted to ask you
if you needed anything from me.
All I need from you is my car.
Your car is fine, sir.
I mean, I got that, don't worry.
Listen.
- Asaf, if I may.
- Hm?
Our mechanic found something in the trunk.
- What do you mean?
- [mysterious music playing]
There you are.
Take a look.
[mysterious music fades]
Thank you, sir, much appreciated.
- I have a question if you don't mind.
- Sure.
How come you keep this cellphone, sir?
Why not?
You know, you could get
a burner phone out there.
I mean, isn't it how this job works?
So that no one finds out
anything about Payen Kuyern?
- Şerif.
- Yep.
I need my car now.
Sure, sir. Yeah, right away.
Here you go, Mr. Erdem.
What's this?
Sir, your car need more than a day
of repairs, and I apologize for that.
I also understand your preference
for not flaunting your car or phone.
So, I didn't want to inconvenience you.
- [horn honks]
- [intriguing music playing]
Sir, we also own a car dealership
business, and İrfan and the guys run that.
And they want to meet you.
If that's possible.
Sure, tell İrfan we can meet.
[Şerif] Thank you, sir.
[engine starts]
[intriguing music continues]
[intriguing music fades]
[music playing over speaker]
- [Sema] Asaf?
- Sema.
- Well, um
- What?
I invited him to lunch
to apologize for what you did.
Did you really?
- Hey, Asaf.
- Hm?
- Please don't do anything.
- I won't.
- Did you hear me?
- I said I won't. Calm down.
Wait.
I apologize.
What?
I just lost all self-control that day.
When it comes to Atlas, I can see red.
Yeah.
See you at the courthouse.
Daddy!
Atlas.
What's up, son?
I'm good.
What's this?
I made a drawing.
He's well-advised, obviously.
He must've found a lawyer now.
He doesn't want his tendency towards
violence to come up in court. Bastard.
What are you talking about, Harun?
What violent tendency do you mean?
Asaf has always been kind to me and Atlas.
Sema,
do you want to divorce him or are you
still uncertain about your decision?
Who are they?
This is me, here,
that's Mom, and here is you.
Really? Do I own
a green pair of pants like that?
Here, my boy.
- Need anything from me?
- No.
Are you all right?
Mmm.
Go to your mother, go.
[Rüya] Asaf.
- [Sema] Hey, kiddo. How was school today?
- [Atlas] Good. Hi, Mom.
- Are you stalking me now?
- What else do you expect me to do?
They threatened you? Talk to me.
You know you can tell me about it.
[intriguing music playing]
- [car beeps]
- What are you hiding, Asaf?
I'm not hiding anything from you.
What do you mean you're not? What's that?
Rüya, you should let this go.
I'm serious about that.
This is on a different level.
Much more complicated than you think.
I love your new car, is it brand new?
The informant didn't give you anything?
I told you we didn't meet.
No, he didn't give me anything.
Enough, all right.
If you're not gonna be honest with me,
we can't work this out together.
Is this the place?
I'll figure out the rest myself.
What? Rüya, what do you mean?
How are you going to solve this on
your own? This is bigger than any of us.
[intriguing music ends]
[pop music playing]
Can't go in!
What's this?
Uh
This gentleman is with me.
All right.

[Cüneyt] Rüya Deren.
You're under arrest
for the murder of Kemal Argun.
Take her away.
Come on, take her away.
- Yes, sir. Come with me.
- Wait.
- Take her.
- Wait a minute. Let go of me!
Stop this nonsense!
What the hell are you doing, Bozkurt?
Can someone explain to me
what's going on? I'm a journalist.
Bring the boy to me tomorrow,
or watch what happens next.

[indistinct chatter]
Good morning.
Look. This is your boy's work!
Can I see him? No one's taken him, right?
He's in the yard.
You didn't see him, I guess.
- I'll go look for him.
- Yeah.
Hey, kiddo! Atlas!
- [children screaming]
- Careful, careful.
Where are you?
[monitor humming]
[sighs]
You're actually sneaking up on me.
You told them you weren't going anywhere.
I told them you were picking me up.
Did you bite that guy?
Things happened.
Look, I need to talk to you
about some stuff, all right?
There are human beings who are both nice
and mean, in the world, you know?
I know that you are a good person, Asaf.
[dramatic music playing]
You see, when nice people become
desperate, or get in serious trouble,
social workers are there
to make sure children are safe.
For a while, at least, to figure
some things out and find a solution.
You understand?
So, grown-ups
do all they can to protect children,
but they still have
to make tough decisions
that children
don't necessarily understand.
You promised me.
You promised me!
You promised me!
You promised me!

No! Don't let him take me!
Don't let him take me, Asaf!
He did it! It was him!
It was him! He did it!

Just wait in there,
and don't come out, okay?

And to arrest me as well, right?
Huh?
What was your plan?
I told you not to get carried away.
That I would end Payen Kuyern.
You planned to do that how?
The boy is your evidence?
You saw your personal address
and thought the boy was the package.
Kemal
The package is not the boy.
