Nurullah!
Nurullah!
Nurullah!
Where's Mümtaz?
Where's Mümtaz?
Of course, honorable sir.
After all that I've told you,
if you were to ask what my main goal is
Those enemies of Mustafa Kemal
I said we'll undo the reforms.
They followed me without question.
You
We
we will rule this world together,
as if World War I never happened.
First, we need to overthrow
the current prime minister.
I have a brilliant plan.
Some well-known and prominent women
in our country have been kidnapped,
and everyone's eyes are on the news.
What's your plan?
Guten Appetit, my friend.
MIDNIGHT AT THE PERA PALACE
EDUCATION CENTER FOR WOMEN
We've reached the final stage
of the new world
we've been building for years.
So far, I haven't let down anyone
who followed me and believed in me,
and I will not.
I stand by my words.
However,
sadly, there are those
who stubbornly refuse to understand
what we are doing,
and unfortunately,
this resistance is led by women.
It seems we will have to open
more education camps for women.
This is my last warning.
Either stop this resistance and go home
or do as you wish.
Your new home will be here
waiting for you.
Bravo! That's it!
Damn.
What the hell?
I think we should go.
Now.
NO WOMEN ON STREETS
Not a single woman here. What's going on?
We came to this time,
but is the baby here?
The hotel must have brought us here
for a reason.
Wait, woman!
Show your ID.
-Is he talking to me?
-Yes.
-I said show your ID.
-Come. Let's get out of here too.
Hey! Don't run!
-Move!
-Stop her! Stop the woman!
Red, white, pink. Hats for the twins!
Move!
Move!
What's that look? I'm allergic to pepper.
-How do we get out of here?
-I don't know.
Don't take your hand off your mouth.
Then don't shake.
It'll be fine if you stop moving.
Come out.
Can I help you?
-We'd like to see Madam Eleni.
-Hold on.
How did you know the late Madam?
Late?
We didn't know she passed away.
She had helped me a lot.
-In the past.
-It's been almost ten years.
Clearly, you weren't close.
What's your relation to her?
She was like a mother to me.
Why are you looking for her?
Well, you know
She held all of Pera's secrets.
We needed to consult her.
Yes. Also, apparently,
Esra needs to hide for a while.
Or she'll be arrested.
Come with me.
You seem like a rebel too.
Like me.
Rebel is an understatement.
I wish there were more women like us.
Then we could have
an organized resistance,
and we could change things.
But we are too late.
Still, we shouldn't lose hope.
Actually, we are in a hurry.
We need to find what we're looking for
and leave before midnight.
Which time are you from?
Madam told me everything
about the Pera Palace.
She never experienced it herself,
but a very close friend of hers,
a man named Halit, told her about it.
Halit is waiting for us in our time.
You need to help us.
We are here to stop the evil deeds
Mümtaz will do.
How can you stop him?
We need to stop him and his organization.
It all started in 1941
with the kidnapping of women
who excelled in their careers.
Those infamous women
who were declared traitors?
Traitors?
Mümtaz kidnapped a baby in 1941
and forced it to time travel.
If we can find that baby,
we can prevent everything.
A baby?
It's complicated.
But if we can find that baby and go back
How will you find it? Istanbul is huge.
We suspect it's at the Pera Palace.
The Pera Palace
is like Mümtaz's headquarters.
You can't just walk in.
But we have to get in somehow.
Can't you help us?
There must be a way.
There is a special party tonight
at the Pera Palace for high-level guests.
They'll have a dance performance.
Can you dance with my girls?
-I mean
-She can. She's experienced.
Ahmet!
Then you can enter the Pera Palace
with my girls.
What about me?
I have an idea for you too, handsome.
At the opening
of the women's education camp,
Soyluoğlu stated
that this is just the beginning,
and that his work
would continue at full speed.
THE PERA PALACE HOTEL
Let's go.
Wait!
-I've never seen you before.
-Yes. I've just started.
Where's Fevzi?
I don't know. You should ask Madam Eva.
All right. Go ahead.
Ahmet, take the second and third floors.
I'll take the fourth and fifth.
-Okay?
-Okay.
-Hurry, okay?
-Okay.
-We don't have time.
-Be careful.
Welcome, sir.
-Are we ready?
-Yes, Mr. Mümtaz.
-Have Eva's girls arrived?
-Yes.
They went out with work permits
and caused a commotion again.
The council has been nagging me.
When the show is over, arrest them all.
Make it grand.
And immediately release the photos
to the press.
"Deviant women
are taken for treatment
in the new education camp."
Ta-da!
Headline.
Go on.
By the way,
have the room cleaned again
after I leave.
Ahmet!
Hey, have you seen Ahmet? He was with me.
Forget him. We're going on stage.
-What?
-Let's go!
Wait a second!
We don't have a second.
Even if one day you show up again
Hold my hand and beg me
Even if you regret all you've done
I won't forgive you
Even if you say, '"Don't leave me"
Even if I hear your heart
Even if I know you love me deeply
I won't forgive you
I don't want your love anymore
I built my life without you
You made my life miserable
I won't forgive you
I forgot all your words
And those beautiful eyes of yours
Have a seat.
Esra?
Esra?
What happened?
Where is Esra?
-Let go!
-Shut up!
Let go!
-Let me go!
-Move!
-Don't talk! Move!
-Let me go!
-Come on!
-Get in there!
Shut up!
She made such a mess tonight.
Tell me about it.
Halit?
I've been dreaming of this day for years.
You're finally here.
What's that look?
Won't you say anything?
What are you doing here?
Why were you at Mümtaz's table?
I had my reasons.
Believe me.
It was years ago.
I stole the portal keys from Mümtaz
and threw them into the Bosporus.
But I always kept him close,
in case he still had a key.
That way, I prevented him
from traveling through time.
But you stayed here too.
Time
was never able to stop us.
I knew that wouldn't change.
I never lost faith.
Fate would bring us together again.
If it was meant to be,
it would surely happen.
Meant to be?
This is not meant to be.
We must find Halime's baby.
Then it will all
Who is it?
Halit, it's me. Open the door.
Is it Mümtaz?
Don't open it.
Don't open it, Halit.
Halit? My friend, it's me. Open the door.
Where did you disappear to?
You've taken one of the dancers
for yourself.
I was just having a bit of fun.
You like the same type of women, huh?
They're arresting the dancers downstairs.
Let them take her too.
You wouldn't mind, I guess.
I was going to hand her over
after one night.
Magnificent.
Magnificent.
Halit?
Halit!
Hey, wait a second!
What's going on? Let go of me!
Halit! Let go! Halit!
Let go!
In the morning, I'll line them all up
and hold a press briefing.
Do whatever you want.
Enjoy your drink.
Esra!
Mr. Ahmet?
Where's Esra?
I had to, or he would've killed us both.
The briefing is tomorrow.
Don't worry.
I'll find a way to rescue her.
I need to find the baby by then.
We can't stay in this time any longer.
Did you ask Ms. Halime?
Maybe she has learned more over time.
Right.
I hope she knows something.
We'll see.
After Mümtaz left,
she was left alone here.
Forgive me.
I haven't had any visitors in a long time.
My home is a bit messy.
Not at all.
Have we met before?
I don't think so.
Ms. Halime.
We need your help.
Help?
How can I help you?
Your baby
Have you heard anything?
That heartless scoundrel.
Not only did he hide her,
but he didn't even show me a photo.
I got this photo years later.
Look. She's 18 months old here.
This isn't Esra.
She'll be upset when she finds out.
Wrong again.
Halime is not her mother.
Let's just save her first.
We'll think about the rest later.
I've gathered you
and the esteemed members of the press
for an important occasion.
Unfortunately, today,
those deviants who do not understand
the future we are building
endanger the welfare of society.
We built the education camps
precisely to put such women in order.
Bravo!
Today,
to set an example,
I'll expose some lowly women
who abuse their status
as entertainment workers
and act waywardly,
in front of the press
and the rest of Türkiye.
Gentlemen,
Mr. Mümtaz has an important request
for you. He's waiting downstairs. Hurry.
But, Mr. Halit, we
Hurry up! I'll keep an eye on here. Go on!
These women will be educated
until they learn their lesson.
Halit!
You were going to hand me over, huh?
We don't have time.
-Go on, run!
-Run!
Esteemed members of the press
I will soon expose
these unruly women to you.
Sir, the women are
What do you mean?
Find Halit for me.
We are taking a ten-minute break.
Hey!
Goddamn you!
We made it out so well.
We got away just in time. Great.
You haven't changed a bit.
It's safe here.
Stay in that room for a while.
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
Oh, thank God.
-Are you okay?
-Yes.
-You?
-I'm fine.
What happened?
What is it this time?
We found Halime's baby.
Really?
So where is she?
There's a photo of her
taken when she was 18 months old.
It was taken on April 12, 1950,
at the Pera Palace.
That's great.
So we know which time we need to go to.
There's more.
That baby isn't you.
So Halime isn't
My mother.
We still need to find her baby.
Because after you left,
things got even worse.
Mümtaz put all the women he had imprisoned
in a wagon and blew it up.
The explosion happened
on October 17, 1941, at 11:57 a.m.
At the Bulgarian border.
It exploded
when the train stopped at Edirne.
Mümtaz claimed it was the Soviets,
and Türkiye
went to war with the Nazis.
That's when Mümtaz's rise began.
I'll bring Halime's baby.
I'll use the Gateway of Truth.
Ahmet, don't you always say
I don't care.
I need to save Lili.
-Okay, I'm coming too.
-No.
Esra.
No.
No way. We don't have to go together.
Go back to the room we came from.
We'll meet in '41.
-No.
-This is the only way.
See you in '41.
Be careful.
Okay.
Why are you scared?
Are we impossible?
I feel strangely close to you.
Come again, Mr. Ahmet.
I'd like to see you again.
Maybe we're destined to be separated.
And to be reunited.
I found you in 1941.
I won't let you go again.
Let's hope we succeed this time.
Halit?
Halit.
Esra?
Thank God you're here.
I've missed you so much.
Halime's baby wasn't there.
Ahmet went to find and bring her.
I know.
He already did.
So?
Did Halime tell you where the women are?
She knows nothing.
She tricked you into bringing the baby.
She ran away with the baby.
So what happens now?
Where's Ahmet?
That's the problem.
Things got so complicated here.
You've been gone for five months, Esra.
Nurullah!
Nurullah!
Nurullah!
Where's Mümtaz?
Where's Mümtaz?
Of course, honorable sir.
After all that I've told you,
