Shahmaran (2023) s01e07 Episode Script

[Shahsu] Maran!
Cihan!
[bellowing shriek]
Maran?
[panting]
What did you do to him?
What did he tell you?
Where was he taking you?
You're hurt.
Shahsu, where did he take you?
I need to know.
Let go! What does it matter?
Just look at yourself.
What in the world have you done to Cihan?
- Cihan!
- Shahsu, I called for help. He'll be fine!
- Where have you been?
- I'm here now!
Where were you? Huh?
I'm here now.
[tense music playing]
Where is Cihan, Ural?
What happened? Did he do something?
Interesting question.
Interesting how?
You asked if he did something, am I right?
You didn't ask if he was okay, though.
Tell me, do you suspect your son
did something wrong, Lakmu?
Shahsu, I'm very sorry, but
I would've come if I could.
Look.
I'll go wherever you want me to go.
Let's leave.
Listen, let's go.
- Let's get out of here.
- Are you completely crazy?
Have you lost your mind?
You really think I'll go anywhere with you
without an explanation?
I know it sounds crazy.
But listen, you have to trust me.
Do you wanna know
what is actually crazy, Maran?
I was ready to come along with you!
If you'd check your messages
you would've known.
And like the fool I am,
I was actually going to go with you.
But luckily, you disappeared
and saved me the trouble.
Listen to me, whatever
senseless thing we have between us
made me break all of my promises for you.
And all of that
in less than a single week.
Every single one of them.
But never again, Maran.
I'll never go anywhere with you, Maran.
Shahsu.
Never again, Maran.
Shahsu.
[cell phone vibrating]
Yes?
No, why?
My grandfather has disappeared.
[stones scraping]
What happened, Salih?
I really don't know, Shahsu.
I can't find him anywhere at all.
- Tell me what happened.
- We were just talking.
And he got very emotional.
Then he just got up and hugged me.
After that, he left.
I asked where he was going
and ran after him.
But he was gone.
It's like he just vanished into thin air.
Shahsu. Lord, have mercy on me,
I'm not sure how to say this.
But But he looked very strange to me.
Very strange.
Like he went crazy or something.
He didn't even hear me.
- Which way did he go?
- He went in that direction.
Okay. Okay, I'll take care of this.
I'll do it. Don't worry.
You don't have to do this.
Let me come with you. Okay?
Shahsu, trust me for a change.
I will bring Davut back to you.
[engine turns over]
- [ominous music builds]
- [bird calling]
[wind whistling softly]
[panting]
Master Davut?
[music intensifies]
Master Davut?
[music peaks and fades]
[gasps]
Where am I?
[melancholy music playing]
Come here.
Come.
[music fades out]
When did you start forgetting things?
Two weeks ago.
[Ural] Do you ever
get confused about the time of day
or don't know where you are?
Mm-hmm.
[Ural] Do you find yourself
misusing words?
You're fine, Master Davut.
You're fine.
All you need is some rest.
We'll talk later, all right?
You'll be okay.
He's doing fine.
It's too early to make a proper diagnosis.
This might be the start of Alzheimer's.
In any case, bring him to the hospital
so I can run some tests.
Okay.
Call me anytime, and I'll be right over.
Thank you.
Master Davut is very important to me.
Master Davut will be all right.
You don't have to worry, okay.
Look, whatever I've put you through,
I'm dealing with much worse.
I hope you know.
And what's that, Maran?
Why won't you tell me?
You don't tell me anything.
Why did you leave earlier? What happened?
I don't know what's going on with you.
Or even if this could
possibly happen again.
Where is Cihan, Maran?
Your silence continues
to make things even worse for us.
Can you not see that?
Heavy is the burden of untimely truth.
Not everyone can handle that.
Cihan was about to take
Shahsu to Anavarza.
How do you know what he was
about to do, or what his intent was?
Your son had lost his mind, Lakmu.
He had to be stopped.
You
stopped my son?
What did you do to him?
Did you not hear what I said?
I had to do it.
Basilisks should never harm each other.
No matter what.
If I hadn't stopped him right then,
Anavarza would've been the end for Shahsu.
- Was this not about the prophecy?
- So now you talk about the prophecy?
You've always denied it.
Avoiding it like the plague.
Why did you decide to protect her now?
Just pray the basilisks
never get wind of this.
If they do
Enough!
[Lakmu] I told you.
The basilisks are furious.
They want revenge, not prophecy.
- I can't hold them back.
- But I held your son back.
- [rattling snarl]
- [whooshing]
[soft hissing echoes]
[hissing]
[hissing]
[ethereal whoosh]
[exhales]
Shahmaran's actions
were all done out of love.
I expect you all to do the same.
What your son did
can't go unpunished, Lakmu.
Allow me to deliver the punishment, then.
I will do what I must do.
Hand him over.
Ural.
He is my son.
Please.
Put him under house arrest.
If I hear that he's gone anywhere,
you already know the punishment.
[hissing]
I watched you being born.
I saw you grow up.
I witnessed your rebellion.
And your acceptance.
But I didn't interfere.
But the humans do forget.
It's how they survive.
I knew you'd forget neither who you were,
nor the basilisks.
[warbling rumble]
[muffled soundscape]
But Davut is running out of time.
He's starting to remember.
[warbling rumble]
We're running out of time too.
And you just hurt a basilisk.
There is only one reason
why this goes unpunished.
Shahsu.
This is your destiny, Maran.
It will come true.
All you have to do
is be there for it.
[somber music builds slowly]
[breathes deeply]
[cuffs clicking]
[breathes deeply]
Sleep well.
Is it true?
Were you taking Shahsu to Anavarza?
He pulled off my serpent teeth.
I thought basilisks
never attack each other?
Why do we submit to that family?
Look at my face, Father.
He is the one that should be punished!
Isn't he the non-believer?
Isn't he the one who never does anything?
I just wanted to
end this whole thing.
There was no need for you to do anything.
[scoffs lightly]
Right. Right.
Because I'm not the chosen one.
Yeah.
I have no right to do anything. Hmm?
- Not because of that.
- Then what is it?
Because I will do something now.
[hissing, rattling echoes]
[heavy breathing]
I'm not Ural.
I'm not going to give up
on Cihan for a prophecy.
You will stay away from him. You hear?
[rattling hiss]
I will tell you who
you should go after, understand?
[panting softly]
[music fades out]
Ah.
- [hisses]

ASSOC. PROF. TUTKU BÖKE
LECTURER
Professor? Have you seen Shahsu?
They're on a field trip. In Anavarza.
Why Anavarza?
This is Anavarza Castle.
Do you know why it was built on rocks?
Because they wanted
to fend off the invaders.
Anyone heard about the legend of Anavarza?
Now, gather around.
I'll tell you all about it.
[indistinct conversations]
[voicemail] The person you have called
cannot be reached at this time.
You may leave a message after the tone.
[guide] Gather around.
I'll tell you about it here.
Cihan, where are you?
I've been calling you since yesterday
and you haven't picked up.
You don't reply to any of my texts either.
Hey, I'm warning you. I will find you.
Just give me a call
when you get this message, please.
[guide] you will see a few ruins
from the Byzantine era,
and the Roman era, as well.
And on the left, you can see traces
of the Ottomans, and the Seljuks.
[high-pitched ringing]

[wind howling]
- [hissing rises]
- [rattling]
Leave her.
- But, ma'am, she's
- I said leave her.
[deep rattling echoes]

- [shrieking echoes]
- [music fades]
- Let go of me.
- No.
- My necklace is down there. Stop.
This it?
[door clatters shut]
[footsteps approaching]
Did you manipulate Mirac?
Or did he
speak with you first?
Tell you to bring her to Anavarza?
Who's "she"?
Go on, say her name.
You don't believe anyway.
No, but you believe.
You're a basilisk in faith.
You decided to fight me
even though it was forbidden.
Why, Cihan?
You know exactly why, Maran.
Why ask?
Shahsu?
[chuckles softly]
You.
You!
I fought you because I fucking hate you!
You don't deserve this.
You didn't want to be chosen.
You refused it and treated us like dogs.
"The chosen one."
Shahsu blows your fuckin' mind.
And out on nowhere you become a believer.
Then you start playing the prophet.
Fuck off.
Fuck off!
You can't break me, damn it.
Shahsu deeply cares about you, Cihan.
You're safe for now.
But that may change very soon.
[tense music builds slowly]
As you see, he's locked up.
Will that be all?
Keep your son on a tight leash.
[music fades out]
Are you sure it's the same necklace?
It looks a little rusty.
I was wearing it during the fire.
I bought it from
a woman at the Hidirellez.
But when I came back I couldn't find it.
- So I thought it didn't happen.
- Why would you think it didn't happen?
Because he said it wasn't real.
Who's "he"?
Who?
It's pretty cold, so don't drink too fast.
- [Shahsu] Thank you.
- Would you like me to take you home?
- I drove here.
- I can take her home.
Are you sure, Professor? I can take her.
You've done enough, Diba. You can go.
[tense music plays]
All right. Guess I'll see you later, then.
I got this for you, Professor. Here.
[warbling rumble]
[wind howling]
You were telling me something.
Who told you it wasn't real?
Maran.
But what does this mean?
Would you like to come
stay with me at my place?
What?
Isn't Maran's father the chief of staff?
I don't know what's going
on between you two.
But I know his father is a weird man.
I could never get along with them.
You should stay away from that family.
You should really stay with me.
For a while.
Thanks, Professor.
My grandpa's not feeling well.
I have to take him to the hospital soon.
In fact, I need to go. Thanks, though.
This is a weird town, Shahsu.
This place can play tricks on your mind.
But you're not alone.
You can trust me, okay.
Thank you.
See you.
[brakes squeaking]
[engine cuts off]
Hi, there.
I need to go see Maran real quick.
But I promise, I'll be right back.
Shall we go to the hospital after that?
No, thanks.
- What do you mean, "No, thanks"?
- Gülsüm is making a paste for me.
I'll be fine after that.
Fine, you can have your paste, as well.
But we're going
to the hospital after that.
Don't take me all the way out there.
The cab is already waiting
We'll be back in no time. Quick.
Let's go.
Please, come.
Ural can do a full physical on you.
I want nothing to do with hospitals.
Why are you so stubborn?
What is your problem? Huh?
Is it because I asked you to go?
Or do you just like
getting on my nerves? Is that it?
I don't want to argue about this anymore.
I need you to come with me, Grandpa.
You're not well.
You need to go see a doctor.
Okay? You need treatment.
What are you looking at?
Why are you suddenly silent again?
Do you have a death wish?
Do you want to die? What is your problem?
You said "Grandpa."
[sighs]
Why did you just leave like that?
Why did you abandon my mother?
Because of you, my father left us.
You ruined that poor woman.
Answer me. Don't just sit there.
I want to know, damn it!
I grew up all alone because of you.
[melancholy music playing]
Why weren't you there?
Why weren't you with us? Huh?
Everyone's hiding things from me.
And I just want to know one goddamn thing.
Just tell me already!
[Davut] In this big world,
humans can enslave
any creature they want to.
But they cannot stop themselves.
The mind doesn't know how to.
But the heart knows who to flow to.
And surrender to
very well.
I promise.
Tomorrow, I'll go to the hospital.
[exhales deeply]
[Bike] When did this appear?
Just now.
So, it's almost time, then.
The fire.
The many cattle deaths that occurred.
A basilisk assaulting one of its own.
Possessing of a human.
They're all omens.
- I'm not sure about Professor Tutku.
- I said I saw it, Dad.
I even smelled it.
It's just that we haven't ever
harmed a human before.
I need to be sure of it first.
So, how can we be sure about it?
The moon is full.
The cotton harvest is here.
Huh? What's that mean?
- We gather cotton now?
- [Diba growls]
[Ural] We'll hold a feast tonight.
For the basilisks.
They've been uneasy lately.
Do you really think that's safe?
I'll take extreme precautions.
Diba, I need you
to invite Professor Tutku.
Maran, make certain
that Shahsu is there, as well.
The necklace was found by Shahsu.
I mean, she knows he's been lying.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come.
[Gülsüm] That tattoo
didn't raise its head for nothing.
Its heart is big.
[dramatic music plays]
It's expanding.
Shahmaran's love
is flowing into it, bit by bit.
She's just taken a step
towards her grandpa.
She'll take one for you.
Call her.
[music fades out]
- [dog barking]
- [water boiling]
[Davut] Don't do that.
Don't leave yourself to your own mercy.
So, the mercy of others is much better?
Why don't you trust Maran?
I don't know.
You're better at these
matters of the mind.
If you ask me,
it's not Maran you don't trust,
but yourself.
You're afraid that you won't be
able to fully protect yourself.
Just like my mother, I guess.
[gentle music plays]
Children always
always have to carry the
heavy burden of their parents.
They must claim them.
Your mother couldn't protect herself.
From me, or her husband.
Now you have to claim that debt, as well.
So, you're telling me
that you'll protect yourself.
And not let yourself give in to anyone.
But it's not your debt.
it's my mother's.
Gül couldn't save herself, but
she did well with you.
You're the bravest girl I've ever met.
So, you're telling me
to let her go. Is that it?
I don't know about that,
but you shouldn't be alone in this.
That is what I'm saying.
[footsteps departing]
[inhales]
[exhales deeply]
[footsteps approaching]
[birds chirping]
FROM GÜL DEMİR
TO DAVUT DEMİR
- [whooshing]
- [gasps]
I will be okay.
Why don't you go ahead
and put on your best suit.
Let's go and check out that feast.
Shall we? Come on.
[gentle music fades out]
[birds chirping]
[pleasant music flourish plays]
[suspenseful music builds slowly]
I want the band here
by six o'clock at the latest.
Yes. Of course, sir.
Just do one last check
on the lights, okay?
Absolutely. I'm right on it.
We have a big problem.
Mirac has escaped.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
[Ural sighs]
[wind gusting]
[woman echoes] Arun.
It is time.
[sharp inhale]
[theme music playing]
[mysterious music playing]
[music ends]
