FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY
WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH
ARE DETECTIVE STORIES
THAY HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP
TO ACTUAL PERSONS OR EVENTS.
THIS SHOW IS IN MEMORY OF THOSE
GLORIOUS MARTYRS OF
THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, WHICH HAD
RULED JUSTLY OVER THE WORLD,
AND OF THE DESCENDANTS
OF THIS GREAT NATION
WHO LOST THEIR LIVES
IN THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE.
FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY
Sir
you're tired.
Let me finish it. Go and get some rest.
There's not much left. I'll finish it.
Sir
I'll finish it.
Okay then.
Thank you.
Have a good day.
In the name of God.
Sir!
Sir. How are you?
I'm so tired that I can't think,
Master Murat.
-I'm okay. How are you?
-I'm okay.
-How is business?
-Would you like one?
See, this is just for you.
-So you're talking about patience.
-Yes, sir.
Okay then.
Sir, you and Sergeant Hasan
both ended up without ladies.
I'm going to meet him now. I'll tell him.
Tell him. It won't work out like this.
-Have a good day.
-Thanks, sir.
Sir, tell Sergeant Hasan to stop by
every now and then.
He doesn't have to buy prayer beads.
Yes, Mustafa.
One of your guys, for one of mine.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
There was no one around. No one saw it.
We can go.
This hope you're talking about
fluctuates depending on one's courage.
You can't lose your courage.
You'll stand on your feet, Mustafa.
Despite everything,
despite all the unfavorableness
you'll stand on your feet.
You won't bow to those cursed people.
You'll stand upright. Upright!
I know what love is
and I know what it's like
to suffer from it.
I had a wife whom I loved
and a beautiful girl.
Love is not about calculations,
it's about fate.
Love is dedication, not a pursuit.
Don't do this.
Hasan, don't do this.
Don't forget this.
If you don't put your life on the line
there won't be a life
to protect afterwards.
Even if you go back
to prove yourself innocent
I won't leave you alone.
You're not alone anyway.
There are dozens of people around you
who believe in you and trust you.
You must not lose your courage.
You'll stand on your feet, Mustafa.
You'll stand on your feet.
I thought you had a better place to live.
Do you sleep on the floor?
Comfortable beds make my back hurt.
I am used to it from jail anyway.
How do you know where I live?
Please.
German Intelligence
already investigated everything.
What do you want?
Don't be afraid.
I brought your piece back.
-You fired the gun.
-That's right.
I also want you to tell me this.
Boris Efendi can keep me in Istanbul
until the investigation is concluded...
...but he has to show me respect.
What did you do?
What I had to do.
You will pay, if you go wrong
with Anita von Wilhelm.
Boris shouldn't forget this.
As I said
you're going to a better place.
We surely belong to God
and to Him we shall return.
Who silenced your big heart, Hasan?
Who dared to do this?
Death is a bridge, Hasan.
It makes friends unite.
Here you are
uniting with your wife and daughter.
Lucky you.
God forbid.
There is no opposing fate.
But...
...shame on you, young man.
Did you have to go so early?
I'm proud of you.
TWO WEEKS LATER
Left Handed Sarkis.
Filinta Mustafa, we know why you're here.
You left no stones unturned in Istanbul
for the past two weeks
but we have nothing to do
with Sergeant Hasan's death.
Weren't you left with one arm
because of his bullet?
Don't draw your guns or I'll kill you.
That's right. Hasan made me lose my arm.
He was my enemy for life
but I haven't lost all my senses
as to kill an officer of Istanbul.
-We're not who you're looking for.
-Sir!
Listen to me.
If you have anything to do with this
I'll riddle you with holes
and send you to hell.
Sir!
Don't move.
Guys, we'll be famous in Istanbul
from now on.
Go on! Faster.
Wonderful, Mecit.
You're working like a beaver.
This is the last load of tonight.
What's inside these?
Don't trouble yourself with such things.
Boris Efendi is very content with you.
That's all you need to know.
Thank you.
The next delivery is in two days.
-We'll be ready.
-Good.
Mecit, Hamdi Agha doesn't know
about the smuggling, right?
-Leave my dad out of this.
-Right.
If he knew about it
he would hang you upside down
by your feet to make an example.
Don't worry though.
We've got your back from now on.
We'll do great things together.
-Thank you.
-Have a good evening.
What gives, chief?
Did you end up becoming a smuggler
while talking about setting up a bank?
Boris Efendi's work is unfathomable.
You might see us setting up a bank
and next thing you know we're smuggling.
Would that work?
Okay, chief. Don't get mad.
Lie low for a while.
Mustafa is flipping Istanbul inside out
because he's suffering from Hasan's death.
-Who shot Hasan?
-Someone very dangerous.
Very dangerous.
Miss Anita, do you know
what you're talking about?
You heard me.
We'll do whatever it takes
to take some of the artifacts
especially the tablets
and the Bogazkoy Sphinx to German soil.
Okay but that history
belongs to these lands.
Do you think they'll just give away
those centuries-old pieces to us?
-That's impossible.
-I think it's possible.
They'll do better in Berlin anyway.
We're facing the Great Ottoman Empire.
And Istanbul, we can't even
remove them from Galata.
-They'll never let it happen.
-Okay.
Then we'll take them
with their permission.
They can't find a better ally than Germany
to recondition the historical artifacts.
My father will be the happiest
of everyone.
We can't do this.
We'll do whatever's necessary. With...
...or without you.
If I were you
I wouldn't object so much. Because...
Who told you to follow me?
Cadi Giyaseddin Efendi.
You haven't slept or shown up
at the police station for two weeks.
You flipped Istanbul upside down, sir.
Cadi Giyaseddin is worried about you.
He wants you to come to the station
in the morning.
They took my brother.
I won't sleep before I find his murderers.
I won't see the light of day.
-Understood?
-We're all after Hasan's murderers, sir.
I have no leads.
I don't know who killed Hasan or why.
Go to your homes.
I'll see you at the station tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
Husband
you haven't been sleeping
or eating for two weeks.
They slaughtered my man, Hatun.
The pain is like a fire in my heart
and it keeps burning.
Didn't you used to say
that as long as one is with God
both life and death are pleasant?
You're right.
But this isn't the first ambush
by the traitors.
I can hardly breathe
and it won't get better.
While I hold the scales of justice
injustices increase.
If I had done my duties properly
maybe Hasan would still be with us.
How could you say that?
Don't ruin yourself
with a guilty conscience.
Is there anyone without fate
or heartache in the world?
There is no questioning God's wisdom.
Amen.
We need to be invulnerable.
Invulnerable.
What invulnerability, Abdullah?
First, they set us up.
They took Ali away from me.
Then they besmirched me as a murderer.
While I was mourning for him...
...they added Hasan on top of it.
First, my little brother
then my brother.
Not to offend God...
...but being tested like this
is difficult.
I have a lot to deal with.
What's a year? What's left of it?
I don't have any time left
to deal with this issue.
That scoundrel Riza
became the assistant to
the Minister of Internal Affairs.
He keeps looking straight into my eyes.
You know, I see Ali
whenever I look at him.
"Mustafa
how could you let that scoundrel live?"
He keeps telling me that.
Every day, every night.
I'm not a bandit.
Revenge isn't my thing.
Is this what I had coming, Abdullah?
I'm tired.
Mustafa
we have to say that it's God's will.
We have to say that
every cloud has a silver lining.
We have to be grateful to God, Mustafa.
We have to be grateful.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe that
my brave brother is dead.
Do you remember how happy he was
when he heard that Igor was dead?
"My wife...
...and my daughter...
...will sleep in peace." he said.
He went to them, right, Abdullah?
Okay, come on. Raise your head.
Stand upright, Mustafa.
For God's sake, stand upright.
I promise you
Hasan's revenge will be taken.
So that he can rest in peace
and his daughter Ceylan
can hug her father tightly, Mustafa.
Come on, stand up.
Stand up.
Don't you think of going away.
Boris Efendi, Esat Pasha is here.
Let him in.
Esat Pasha!
-Good morning. You're early.
-Good morning, Boris Efendi.
Take a seat. What can I do for you?
You'll stop using Azize for your business.
All of a sudden, like this...
Can I ask why?
Because she is to be my wife.
That's even more sudden...
I'm sorry. Azize?
You're in love.
Just do what I told you
and that will be enough.
You dare to command me
in my own house, Esat Pasha?
You can take it however you want.
You will give up Azize.
Or?
We have an alliance that's working
pretty well for both of us.
We wouldn't want this to be disrupted.
Our alliance is going to be disrupted?
Esat Pasha.
-Believe me, I'm really envious of you.
-Pardon?
Love...
...really encourages people.
Had I known how you felt towards Azize
we wouldn't even had to have
this conversation.
I would've given up Azize
because not everyone can find love.
Lucky you.
I knew you would understand.
If I was too frank...
Please.
Only true friends can speak so frankly
to each other. So, thank you.
I'll meet Azize today
and explain the situation to her
if it's okay with you.
I'm grateful.
My Pasha.
We're going on a hunt.
What gives, you blessed creature?
What are you waiting for?
Stop it, I have things to do.
Stop.
Stop. Sit.
I understand.
I know who sent you.
Go on, I'll follow you. Come on.
Go on.
What did you say you did?
You heard me. Are you deaf, Riza Efendi?
Did you tell everyone
that you killed Hasan
on top of all the troubles we face?
This way, we'll be famous in Istanbul.
Is it a bad thing?
You idiot. Do you think that
Mustafa won't come after you?
Why did you take on something
that you didn't do?
Riza Efendi, our time has finally come.
I'm sick of following people like dogs.
Mustafa can come. Isn't he mortal?
It's only a matter of a single bullet.
Bekri
you don't know what kind of trouble
you have brought on yourself.
-Riza Efendi.
-Shut it!
Calm down!
Riza Efendi just got a little excited.
It happens.
This isn't over, Bekri.
I'll see you later.
I'll see you sooner than you think, Riza.
Come on, girl. Come on.
Come on, girl.
Well done, my girl.
Greetings, Hasan Father.
Greetings.
Here you go, Father.
-You've summoned me. Here I am.
-You know
dogs sense earthquakes
before everyone else.
The quake going on inside you
can be heard in Fatih,
all the way from Galata.
You're making my dogs anxious.
That's why I called you.
We lost a true friend in a vicious raid.
Don't tell me how he died, Giyaseddin.
All the street dogs in Galata
are witnesses to that.
-They would tell me if I wanted to know.
-Yes?
Our Prophet said...
...that humans are sleeping in this world
and they wake up when they die.
How could you feel bad for his awakening?
The world is impregnated with humans
and when humans die, birth takes place.
Can you grieve birth?
-Thank you.
-Tell me Cadi Efendi
didn't they say that
"death is my wedding night"?
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi.
You know his holiness Pir
but you don't know
not to grieve for a wedding?
Of course you do.
You regarded him as your own son.
Allah's beloved, when his son, Ibrahim
passed away, what did He say?
"The heart feels sad
and the eyes fill with tears.
Ibrahim
we're very sad today
but if it wasn't the time
for convergence
we would be much sadder."
Whoever it is that took
the ones you loved
and whoever it is that promised you
be together again
he is the intercessor in the other world.
His intercession isn't for a year
like the Padishah's or the Cadi's.
His intercession is perpetual.
May God
forgive our brother.
Amen.
You have my permission. Now go.
Thank you, father.
You left your grief here.
Leave your questions as well.
Excuse my curiosity, Hasan Father.
That blessed creature over there...
He didn't have a single bite to eat
since I came.
That dog was greedy for
another dog's food.
I told him not to see me for three days
because he's grounded.
He's waiting.
Thank you.
My Pasha.
I've talked to Boris about everything.
He won't be disturbing you anymore.
-What did you tell him?
-I told him to forget you.
-Are you crazy?
-Azize, calm down.
You're looking at a mighty
Minister of Internal Affairs.
-What did he say?
-What could he say?
Do you think he could afford
to be in conflict with me?
-What did he say?
-He accepted.
Yes.
You're making a big deal out of Boris.
He would never betray his interests.
You'll be my wife soon.
The wife of
the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Maybe even a Grand Vizier's wife
in the future.
-So I'll be rid of Boris?
-Yes.
He will meet you today
and explain the situation to you.
-I can't believe it.
-Azize.
What did I tell you?
Life goes on for us.
Don't forget this.
Lara, you've caged me in here.
We're supposed to go to the foundation
but I haven't even gotten ready.
You're not going anywhere.
Drink this while it's still hot.
I put all the healing herbs we have in it.
My beautiful girl,
why are you exhausting yourself?
I'm not exhausted.
I'll sacrifice anything for my nanny.
It's very nice. Thank you.
Enjoy it.
Nanny, you don't take care of yourself.
Look at you.
Now listen to me, missy.
I have to go to the foundation now.
Without you!
You'll drink it before it goes cold.
I don't want to hear a single word.
Understood?
-Okay, nanny.
-Well done, my little girl.
Come on.
Cemal.
-Yes, Cadi Efendi.
-Tell all the officers to come in.
As you wish, Cadi Efendi.
Take it away.
At ease!
Good.
Now listen to me carefully.
Two weeks ago
they martyred our friend
our brother
our Hasan.
Its wrecked us and we've
cried during this time
but did you know
that even tears have a purpose?
They clean up for the ensuing smile.
Hasan lived an honorable life.
He was a beloved friend.
He was decent and ethical.
But a decent person knows
that this life is a trial for all of us.
The real life is the eternal life
that starts after death.
Yes, they took him from us viciously
but our duty
is to work without holding anything back
and to secure the justice
that he has been martyred for,
to let his soul rest in peace.
I know
that your hearts are aching.
I wish you to use your heartache
to secure justice.
Only then would we be worthwhile
of our duties.
Only then could we avenge Hasan.
Everyone to their posts now.
You can go.
Mustafa.
Come to my room.
Azize.
Welcome.
Meet Anita von Wilhelm.
I thought it was only going to be
the two of us.
Please.
I specially invited Miss Anita.
There is absolutely no problem.
Esat Pasha came to visit me this morning.
Did you know that?
The Minister of Internal Affairs?
Yes.
Believe me, I would have had
this conversation with you a lot earlier
if I knew your relationship
was so serious.
Do you see?
A magnificent woman
with outrageous self-confidence.
She did almost all her tasks perfectly
to this day.
I see.
What should we drink?
There's a very special herb
that came from India.
Tea. Have you heard of it?
I think it will spread all over
the whole world in a short time.
Do you think you're the only sad one?
Do you think you're the only one
that's cut to the bone?
Sir...
Listen.
You haven't been at the station
for two weeks.
You've kicked up a dust in Istanbul.
We will come to our senses as of today.
What would Hasan say
if he saw us like this?
We will only be powerful if we unite, son.
All the officers are looking up to
your strength and my courage.
Would it be nice for us to let them down?
Yesterday is gone
today is agonizing death
and tomorrow hasn't been born yet.
We'll dominate tomorrow
if we're strong, son.
Otherwise, we can't hold up
against this wind.
It's hard to explain
what you and I have been through.
It's even harder to picture it.
But, son
what good is an archer without a target?
We'll swallow our anger.
We'll overcome this
with patience and wisdom.
I actually live free.
I like to be served.
But today is special.
Azize is leaving us for a while.
-What did you think of it?
-Good.
Awesome.
One should never be scared
of trying new things.
Because that's the only way
to renew yourself.
Time passes so fast.
I discovered Azize's terrible talent
as soon as I found her on the street.
Ruthlessness.
Yes, maybe it isn't a virtue
but it's a big power.
Especially if one wants to rise
in Istanbul.
But with time
people start having other needs.
We should understand this.
For example
Azize first poisoned Mustafa
then she saved him.
Please.
I told you that I understand it.
You wanted to have leverage against me
by saving Mustafa.
Then you ensnared Esat Pasha.
That's another leverage.
What did I say?
Time.
Time.
Time is the ultimate teacher.
But unfortunately
it always kills its students.
And makes them suffer
from terrible miseries.
The cup...
...was poisoned.
It shouldn't kill
but he should suffer a very rare pain.
I wonder what you're after this time.
Comfort.
This is a poison used
by Hashashi assassins to give comfort.
Here you go.
Azize.
Some people are born weak
and some are born strong.
You're one of the weak ones.
But don't worry.
I'll help you ease that load
on your shoulders.
I'll make anyone who does me wrong pay.
You sent word two weeks ago.
You said that anyone
who does you wrong will pay.
It's great that we have
the same principles.
This document...
...is worth 20 million gold.
Mayer...
...really wants you...
...to set up this bank.
Cemil.
We're going hunting.
-They'll supply you with all your needs.
-God bless you.
-Not at all.
-God bless you.
-Get better soon.
-Thank you. God bless you.
Mustafa.
I am so sorry.
I really liked Sergeant Hasan.
I was really worried about you.
I couldn't get any word on it.
-Are you okay?
-I've been angry recently.
I needed time.
I'm sorry.
Just know that...
Just know that I'm with you.
Thanks God, you are in my life.
Guys, aghas, welcome.
As you know, Istanbul's streets
have been cleaned.
You survived.
-Did you ever ask why?
-Why?
Because we wanted you to live.
Gentlemen, we'll rule Istanbul together
but there'll be new rules.
No one will do anything
outside of their turf.
You won't play games
against the government.
Istanbul's a very rich city.
Everyone will do their duties
but of course, you'll get your share.
Riza Efendi, don't worry about it.
We'll get our money in any way.
No problem.
Bekri.
I see that everyone
from the underground is here.
Twelves, Husrevlis
Partners, Fugitives
Gunners.
My warmest regards
and respects to all of you.
Bekri, what the hell are you doing here?
I'm really offended, Riza.
How am I different from these men?
What's happening here, Riza?
Nothing's happening.
Bekri, we're holding a meeting.
-Get out.
-I ask for your forgiveness.
I interrupted your conversation.
With all due respect.
But there's this...
Bekri!
Don't interrupt me, Riza.
You came here without guards.
That's the procedure.
You have respect for each other.
If you want to be big in Istanbul,
you have to act big!
On the other hand, your situation
gives a huge opportunity to those
who want to ambush you.
I'm warning you
as your friend.
Don't ever make the same mistake.
The meeting is over.
Is it because of me?
Agha.
What should we do with the bodies?
Leave it as it is.
We'll be famous!
Field Marshall Efendi.
My father's waiting to have coffee
with you if you're available.
I understand.
Let's go.
What gives, Riza? What's the hurry?
Speak, man!
-It's a disaster.
-What's a disaster?
-They're all dead.
-Who's dead, Riza?
What are you talking about?
We were having a meeting
with the underground barons.
What?
Bekri. He's gone crazy.
Come in.
Minister Efendi, Boris Zaharyas
would like to see you.
Goddamn it!
What kind of trouble have you caused me?
Let him in.
Leave us alone.
Esat Pasha.
I can't believe this.
How many cases did you mess up?
Do you know what happened?
Was it your plan to overtake Istanbul?
I know nothing about what happened.
-Everything happened without my knowledge.
-Giving orders is so easy, Esat Pasha.
What matters is finding the men
to carry out those orders.
You thought you could do it
with a bunch of bandits.
Foolish people that think they are
powerful enough to do anything
are doomed to failure.
Goddamn it.
What am I going to do now?
Fresh air is good.
I'm sorry, Field Marshall Efendi.
It's like I ordered you to come here.
It should be something that's not
suitable to talk about at the station.
That's right.
-I don't want to be called a snitch.
-Okay. I'm listening.
They say that people die
but their reputation lives on.
Hasan was a very gallant and strong man.
The best.
-May God rest his soul.
-Amen.
Some new guy emerged around here
in the last few months.
He's called Bekri.
He's apparently a bandit
from the mountains.
I don't know who called him here
but he hit the town.
-So?
-So, Field Marshall Efendi
he keeps talking around.
He says that he killed Hasan.
Why?
Does he have a death wish?
You know
if you want to rise
you need to commit a serious crime.
Now that he killed Hasan
Bekri obtained his much wanted fame.
Where can I find Bekri?
He goes to a different place
with his guys every night.
My advice is that you should
check out the casinos.
Thank you.
Thank you, Hamdi Agha.
See how awesome it is?
You're helping justice.
Fresh air feels so good
when you're distressed.
You've been distressed recently,
Esat Pasha.
-There have been a lot of problems.
-You're right.
Luckily, I have friends like you,
Boris Efendi.
Do you really think so?
I help you, right?
But you threaten me in my house.
Our friendship is based on this,
Esat Pasha.
I have bribery documents
that belong to you.
I put you in that chair.
So I have requests for you in return.
-But...
-But?
The bribery documents are safe with me.
-As well as your chair.
-Then what do you want from me?
What do they get from hunting?
I don't get anything.
They try to hunt things
that they can easily get
from countrymen or the butcher.
They end up in mud and dirt.
They hunt down things
they can easily obtain.
Did you hear?
Here's what I want from you.
Comprehend the power of your position.
Don't go after things you can buy.
Don't make any mistakes, Esat Pasha.
Azize?
Azize?
Azize?
What happened to you?
I've told you.
I know how to take it back
just like I know how to give it.
But you didn't listen to me.
When you don't listen to me
I end up being obliged to do things
I don't want to do.
For example
if you dare to threaten me again
you'll lie here with Azize forever.
Why would that be necessary?
Why would we go through such things
when we can enjoy our power?
Wouldn't that be a pity for us?
Just do what I want you to do
and you'll see
how life gets better for us.
Do you understand?
Good.
Make a decision now.
What should we do with Azize?
Should we bury her or let her live?
Okay.
I actually want to tell you
something else.
We're setting up the bank.
We've found the money.
What is going to happen to Azize?
Never mind. We'll decide that later.
Come on.
All the gang leaders of Istanbul
were here.
It was a big clean up.
Twelves, Husrevlis.
They're all here.
They were all ambushed.
These men are smart enough
to not be ambushed.
What power brought them here
without guards?
This means that the balance is shifting
in Istanbul, son.
A single man is gaining all the power.
Who is this man?
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
My Shah Father, how are you?
Thank you, Neslihan Sultan.
Will we have dinner together tonight?
-Sure, I'd like that.
-Thank you.
Good.
I'm very happy with Neslihan Sultan's
education.
She apparently learns a lot from you.
I can see her improvement.
You're as good as they say.
My Padishah, God bless you.
Come in.
My Sultan, Grand Vizier Efendi is here.
Let him in.
My Sultan.
Excuse me, Shah Father.
Yes.
-If my Sultan would allow me...
-Yes, Pasha.
Boris Zaharyas sent word.
He'd like to talk to you about the bank.
Good. It's the right time.
Son, I'm in my room.
Gather all the officers upstairs
to the meeting room.
Yes, sir.
Bekri, you'll take over all of Istanbul
if we let you.
We're following your orders, Cemil Efendi.
Well done, Bekri.
See how people rise
when they're given a chance.
Six months ago, you were running away
from officers in the mountains.
Now look around you.
You're the king.
Riza doesn't know anything, right?
Just like we've discussed.
No one knows about our deal.
Good.
Cleaning Istanbul was important.
Now we own the streets.
But you made one mistake, Bekri.
What is it?
You're going around saying
that you killed Hasan.
You can't stop the truth in the street.
Bekri, did you think I was born yesterday?
Far from it.
This must have been heard.
Mustafa will go after you.
What do you want me to do?
What you do best.
We couldn't find any of his photos
in the archive
but we've got a picture drawn
according to Hamdi Agha's description.
The suspect's name is Bekri.
He's a bandit that just arrived
in Istanbul.
He says that he shot Hasan
so he can get famous.
A bandit from the mountains is
hard to find when he hits the city.
They will find a weakness for sure.
What are we going to do?
When God gives us a problem He
will give us the solution for sure.
This guy called Bekri is extremely...
-Can you be the devil?
-Sorry?
You need to be the devil
to overcome the devil.
If you can't do it,
don't dream for nothing.
You thought you were so smart,
right, Esat Pasha?
You've lost to your own ambition.
One day.
One day, Boris.
My Sultan, Boris Zaharyas
is here to see you.
Let him in right away.
My Sultan, Grand Vizier Efendi.
-Do you bring us good news, Boris Efendi?
-I'd like to happily state
that we've found the necessary funding
for the bank.
Good.
How did you do it?
We created the funds from our
own sources with the right partners.
So you didn't accept any help
from the outside?
-Remarkable, Boris Efendi.
-Thank you, my Sultan.
Let the Minister of Finance know
right away.
Tell him to issue the necessary permits
at once.
Yes, my Sultan.
Finally.
Finally, our country will see good days.
No doubt about that, my Sultan.
Assistant, open the door.
Pasha, you will investigate
every little bit of this fortune.
Yes, my Sultan.
GERMAN EMBASSY
-Mr. Ambassador. *
-Miss Anita.
I'd love to give you good news
but unfortunately you're staying.
How?
We paid the money today.
We're done here. We should leave Istanbul.
The truth is that your father and Mayer
want you to stay here
until the bank is set up.
-How?
-I've received the news.
They don't trust Boris Efendi too much.
They can't be considered wrong.
Istanbul.
I understand.
Vivienne
we'll stay in this city
for a while longer.
I'm sure my father has a reason...
...for keeping us here.
The fabled
Filinta Mustafa.
No one can escape my ambush.
You're in my trap.
You think you're so smart, right, Bekri?
A bandit is a bandit everywhere.
Both in the mountains and in the city.
If you're so crafty and smart
why were you ambushed?
It's easy to beat people
who have too much confidence.
Do you understand? You're a bandit.
You'll only ambush as long as
you're someone else's dog.
It's not hard to predict your moves.
Now we'll talk.
Why did you shoot Hasan?
Hold your positions!
Run, Bekri! Run!
Son,
do whatever you want to do, but just
make sure you find that cursed man.
There's something not right.
What is it? Tell me.
Bekri.
If he shot Hasan,
then why didn't he mention that
during these past two weeks?
Right.
Why would a man that lived a life
in banditry and hiding shoot Hasan
when he comes to Istanbul?
He knows pretty well
that we'll go after him.
Last night, someone took Bekri
and his men from us.
Who are they?
Whoever's using Bekri
for their dirty work.
What kind of dirty work?
Let's think about the massacre yesterday.
No one from Istanbul would do
such a thing.
They'd know that they can't make it
through and the revenge would be taken.
These men came from outside Istanbul,
but who brought them here?
That's the right question.
These men also have something
to do with you.
Yes.
First, they had Bekri
take care of the job,
and then they unleashed them on us.
If we had killed Bekri...
Both Hasan's incident and
the massacre will be history.
Right.
Son, Bekri is the key to this.
We can open all the doors
if we find Bekri.
These documents came from
the Ministry of Finance, Boris Efendi.
Put them down.
You see, right?
Even the best plans fail
because of an idiot.
Where is Bekri?
We're looking for him, Boris Efendi.
Do you know how hard it is
to find a guy like yourself?
I didn't understand, Boris Efendi.
Now that Azize is gone too,
try to put yourself in my shoes and think.
Bekri will give them your name
if he gets caught.
Your name means my name.
Do you see the position I'm in?
Why are you doing things
that will upset me, Cemil?
Please go.
Find Bekri by tonight
and we'll forget about this situation.
I know, you're so sad.
If there's anything I could do...
It's enough that you're with me.
I don't need anything else.
He was a great man.
He was.
I can't go in his house.
It's like I'll see him any minute.
That girl is our ticket out of Istanbul.
We'll both take revenge from Mustafa
and become rich.
I'm talking about money.
But we have to be shrewd, right?
There's no use in getting sad.
I never want to leave you.
But I have to go.
I'm so glad that I have you, Lara.
If you can't find that guy called Bekri
by the end of today,
I will make you all dig your own graves!
Do you understand me?
Now go!
We need to determine which households
are poor and write down their needs.
I already wrote down the households
that need help.
Is that so? Did you also add their needs?
Not yet.
Hatice.
You see Mustafa more than me.
He seems really deep in thought, lately.
I mean, when he's with me.
Is he always like that?
Yes.
I think the situation affected him
quite a bit.
I mean, that's what it looks like to me.
Get in the coach! Get in the coach!
Get in!
-Help!
Go!
Lara Zaharyas.
The guardian angel of Galata Station.
Boris Zaharyas' daughter.
We've heard a lot about you
but most importantly,
I found out that you're Mustafa's lover.
What do you want from us?
Some money from your banker father!
What am I doing in the city?
My forte is banditry in the mountains.
Also, abducting people and taking them
to the mountains.
It makes people really happy
when they return to themselves.
This is what I understood.
If you do us any harm...
-Are you okay?
-Now, if you don't sit down quietly,
you'll be praying over
your friend's dead body.
Sir, Bekri!
He abducted Lara and Miss Hatice.
We'll see how much your daddy values you.
Don't worry. He'll give you what you want.
He had better.
Or this beautiful face of yours...
Get your hands off!
Now, you may think I have a conscience,
but I don't.
As soon as I get the money,
Mustafa will get your dead body.
Go to Boris Zaharyas' house now.
Show him the ring.
Tell him that his beautiful girl
says hello.
It would be nice if you tell him
that I also said hello.
I want 40 thousand in gold.
He can bring it himself,
or he can send it with someone,
but it must be in an hour.
Do you know
what warms you the most in the mountains?
Sacks of gold.
Go and look around.
See what they're saying about us.
Money is very important.
Money!
-Boris Efendi.
-What happened?
-Lara.
-What?
Bekri abducted Lara.
Bekri doesn't know that he's my man.
Right?
No.
Then he most likely abducted my daughter
for ransom.
He thinks I'm a banker.
He'll send his right hand man.
We'll wait.
Don't be around
when his right hand man is here.
Go out.
Come in.
Boris Efendi, someone wants to see you.
He says he has news about your daughter.
Let him in, quickly.
Go out.
Yes. You...
Did you bring news from my daughter?
How do you know Lara?
Let's put it this way.
We have your daughter. She's our guest.
What are you talking about?
To tell you the truth,
Boris Zaharyas Efendi,
we have abducted your daughter.
And I'm here to take your
40 thousand in gold.
Oh my God! What are you saying?
See if this looks familiar.
This is Lara's ring.
I don't have any gold,
but I do have money.
These...
These will be enough for the 40 thousand.
Take it.
Where's my daughter?
Well done, miss.
Blood.
There's not much blood.
I hope nothing bad happened.
They were in this coach.
They left the coach
to avoid drawing attention,
and then they continued on foot.
Listen to me. Bandits feel safe
in desolate places. Do you understand?
Leave no corner unchecked. Check all
the warehouses and empty buildings.
Go.
Where's my daughter?
I can't tell you, Mr. Zaharyas.
But your daughter is alive.
Don't worry. Just wait for our word.
Is that so?
Where's my daughter?
Where is she?
At the old tobacco warehouse
by the shipyard.
Where?
At the old tobacco warehouse
by the shipyard!
You're not lying. That means we're done.
The old tobacco warehouse by the shipyard.
You're not coming. Clean up this mess.
Where is he? It's been so long!
-My wrist hurts so badly.
-Come on, we have to run.
No, I can't walk, Lara.
My wrist hurts so bad. You should go.
No way. Come on, try harder.
We have to go.
-Lara, please go.
-Hatice, come on. We're close to the door.
The beautiful sparrow was hurt,
but the other bird didn't notice that.
Did you think that you could
get away from me?
Let her go.
Bekri, let her go!
I should be crazy
to let such a beautiful girl go.
Let her go.
Dad?
What happens if I don't let her go?
Here's what happens.
Poor Azize.
We'll deal with you later.
Great.
We'll see how it looks.
Great. Do you remember your name?
-No.
-It doesn't matter.
We'll take care of it.
Your biggest enemy is Filinta Mustafa.
Filinta Mustafa.
Filinta Mustafa.
Filinta Mustafa.
FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY
WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH
ARE DETECTIVE STORIES
THAY HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP
TO ACTUAL PERSONS OR EVENTS.
THIS SHOW IS IN MEMORY OF THOSE
GLORIOUS MARTYRS OF
THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, WHICH HAD
RULED JUSTLY OVER THE WORLD,
AND OF THE DESCENDANTS
OF THIS GREAT NATION
WHO LOST THEIR LIVES
IN THE PURSUIT OF JUSTICE.
FILINTA
AN OTTOMAN DETECTIVE STORY
Sir
you're tired.
Let me finish it. Go and get some rest.
There's not much left. I'll finish it.
Sir
I'll finish it.
Okay then.
Thank you.
Have a good day.
In the name of God.
Sir!
Sir. How are you?
I'm so tired that I can't think,
Master Murat.
-I'm okay. How are you?
-I'm okay.
-How is business?
-Would you like one?
See, this is just for you.
-So you're talking about patience.
-Yes, sir.
Okay then.
Sir, you and Sergeant Hasan
both ended up without ladies.
I'm going to meet him now. I'll tell him.
Tell him. It won't work out like this.
-Have a good day.
-Thanks, sir.
Sir, tell Sergeant Hasan to stop by
every now and then.
He doesn't have to buy prayer beads.
Yes, Mustafa.
One of your guys, for one of mine.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
There was no one around. No one saw it.
We can go.
This hope you're talking about
fluctuates depending on one's courage.
You can't lose your courage.
You'll stand on your feet, Mustafa.
Despite everything,
despite all the unfavorableness
you'll stand on your feet.
You won't bow to those cursed people.
You'll stand upright. Upright!
I know what love is
and I know what it's like
to suffer from it.
I had a wife whom I loved
and a beautiful girl.
Love is not about calculations,
it's about fate.
Love is dedication, not a pursuit.
Don't do this.
Hasan, don't do this.
Don't forget this.
If you don't put your life on the line
there won't be a life
to protect afterwards.
Even if you go back
to prove yourself innocent
I won't leave you alone.
You're not alone anyway.
There are dozens of people around you
who believe in you and trust you.
You must not lose your courage.
You'll stand on your feet, Mustafa.
You'll stand on your feet.
I thought you had a better place to live.
Do you sleep on the floor?
Comfortable beds make my back hurt.
I am used to it from jail anyway.
How do you know where I live?
Please.
German Intelligence
already investigated everything.
What do you want?
Don't be afraid.
I brought your piece back.
-You fired the gun.
-That's right.
I also want you to tell me this.
Boris Efendi can keep me in Istanbul
until the investigation is concluded...
...but he has to show me respect.
What did you do?
What I had to do.
You will pay, if you go wrong
with Anita von Wilhelm.
Boris shouldn't forget this.
As I said
you're going to a better place.
We surely belong to God
and to Him we shall return.
Who silenced your big heart, Hasan?
Who dared to do this?
Death is a bridge, Hasan.
It makes friends unite.
Here you are
uniting with your wife and daughter.
Lucky you.
God forbid.
There is no opposing fate.
But...
...shame on you, young man.
Did you have to go so early?
I'm proud of you.
TWO WEEKS LATER
Left Handed Sarkis.
Filinta Mustafa, we know why you're here.
You left no stones unturned in Istanbul
for the past two weeks
but we have nothing to do
with Sergeant Hasan's death.
Weren't you left with one arm
because of his bullet?
Don't draw your guns or I'll kill you.
That's right. Hasan made me lose my arm.
He was my enemy for life
but I haven't lost all my senses
as to kill an officer of Istanbul.
-We're not who you're looking for.
-Sir!
Listen to me.
If you have anything to do with this
I'll riddle you with holes
and send you to hell.
Sir!
Don't move.
Guys, we'll be famous in Istanbul
from now on.
Go on! Faster.
Wonderful, Mecit.
You're working like a beaver.
This is the last load of tonight.
What's inside these?
Don't trouble yourself with such things.
Boris Efendi is very content with you.
That's all you need to know.
Thank you.
The next delivery is in two days.
-We'll be ready.
-Good.
Mecit, Hamdi Agha doesn't know
about the smuggling, right?
-Leave my dad out of this.
-Right.
If he knew about it
he would hang you upside down
by your feet to make an example.
Don't worry though.
We've got your back from now on.
We'll do great things together.
-Thank you.
-Have a good evening.
What gives, chief?
Did you end up becoming a smuggler
while talking about setting up a bank?
Boris Efendi's work is unfathomable.
You might see us setting up a bank
and next thing you know we're smuggling.
Would that work?
Okay, chief. Don't get mad.
Lie low for a while.
Mustafa is flipping Istanbul inside out
because he's suffering from Hasan's death.
-Who shot Hasan?
-Someone very dangerous.
Very dangerous.
Miss Anita, do you know
what you're talking about?
You heard me.
We'll do whatever it takes
to take some of the artifacts
especially the tablets
and the Bogazkoy Sphinx to German soil.
Okay but that history
belongs to these lands.
Do you think they'll just give away
those centuries-old pieces to us?
-That's impossible.
-I think it's possible.
They'll do better in Berlin anyway.
We're facing the Great Ottoman Empire.
And Istanbul, we can't even
remove them from Galata.
-They'll never let it happen.
-Okay.
Then we'll take them
with their permission.
They can't find a better ally than Germany
to recondition the historical artifacts.
My father will be the happiest
of everyone.
We can't do this.
We'll do whatever's necessary. With...
...or without you.
If I were you
I wouldn't object so much. Because...
Who told you to follow me?
Cadi Giyaseddin Efendi.
You haven't slept or shown up
at the police station for two weeks.
You flipped Istanbul upside down, sir.
Cadi Giyaseddin is worried about you.
He wants you to come to the station
in the morning.
They took my brother.
I won't sleep before I find his murderers.
I won't see the light of day.
-Understood?
-We're all after Hasan's murderers, sir.
I have no leads.
I don't know who killed Hasan or why.
Go to your homes.
I'll see you at the station tomorrow.
Yes, sir.
Husband
you haven't been sleeping
or eating for two weeks.
They slaughtered my man, Hatun.
The pain is like a fire in my heart
and it keeps burning.
Didn't you used to say
that as long as one is with God
both life and death are pleasant?
You're right.
But this isn't the first ambush
by the traitors.
I can hardly breathe
and it won't get better.
While I hold the scales of justice
injustices increase.
If I had done my duties properly
maybe Hasan would still be with us.
How could you say that?
Don't ruin yourself
with a guilty conscience.
Is there anyone without fate
or heartache in the world?
There is no questioning God's wisdom.
Amen.
We need to be invulnerable.
Invulnerable.
What invulnerability, Abdullah?
First, they set us up.
They took Ali away from me.
Then they besmirched me as a murderer.
While I was mourning for him...
...they added Hasan on top of it.
First, my little brother
then my brother.
Not to offend God...
...but being tested like this
is difficult.
I have a lot to deal with.
What's a year? What's left of it?
I don't have any time left
to deal with this issue.
That scoundrel Riza
became the assistant to
the Minister of Internal Affairs.
He keeps looking straight into my eyes.
You know, I see Ali
whenever I look at him.
"Mustafa
how could you let that scoundrel live?"
He keeps telling me that.
Every day, every night.
I'm not a bandit.
Revenge isn't my thing.
Is this what I had coming, Abdullah?
I'm tired.
Mustafa
we have to say that it's God's will.
We have to say that
every cloud has a silver lining.
We have to be grateful to God, Mustafa.
We have to be grateful.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe that
my brave brother is dead.
Do you remember how happy he was
when he heard that Igor was dead?
"My wife...
...and my daughter...
...will sleep in peace." he said.
He went to them, right, Abdullah?
Okay, come on. Raise your head.
Stand upright, Mustafa.
For God's sake, stand upright.
I promise you
Hasan's revenge will be taken.
So that he can rest in peace
and his daughter Ceylan
can hug her father tightly, Mustafa.
Come on, stand up.
Stand up.
Don't you think of going away.
Boris Efendi, Esat Pasha is here.
Let him in.
Esat Pasha!
-Good morning. You're early.
-Good morning, Boris Efendi.
Take a seat. What can I do for you?
You'll stop using Azize for your business.
All of a sudden, like this...
Can I ask why?
Because she is to be my wife.
That's even more sudden...
I'm sorry. Azize?
You're in love.
Just do what I told you
and that will be enough.
You dare to command me
in my own house, Esat Pasha?
You can take it however you want.
You will give up Azize.
Or?
We have an alliance that's working
pretty well for both of us.
We wouldn't want this to be disrupted.
Our alliance is going to be disrupted?
Esat Pasha.
-Believe me, I'm really envious of you.
-Pardon?
Love...
...really encourages people.
Had I known how you felt towards Azize
we wouldn't even had to have
this conversation.
I would've given up Azize
because not everyone can find love.
Lucky you.
I knew you would understand.
If I was too frank...
Please.
Only true friends can speak so frankly
to each other. So, thank you.
I'll meet Azize today
and explain the situation to her
if it's okay with you.
I'm grateful.
My Pasha.
We're going on a hunt.
What gives, you blessed creature?
What are you waiting for?
Stop it, I have things to do.
Stop.
Stop. Sit.
I understand.
I know who sent you.
Go on, I'll follow you. Come on.
Go on.
What did you say you did?
You heard me. Are you deaf, Riza Efendi?
Did you tell everyone
that you killed Hasan
on top of all the troubles we face?
This way, we'll be famous in Istanbul.
Is it a bad thing?
You idiot. Do you think that
Mustafa won't come after you?
Why did you take on something
that you didn't do?
Riza Efendi, our time has finally come.
I'm sick of following people like dogs.
Mustafa can come. Isn't he mortal?
It's only a matter of a single bullet.
Bekri
you don't know what kind of trouble
you have brought on yourself.
-Riza Efendi.
-Shut it!
Calm down!
Riza Efendi just got a little excited.
It happens.
This isn't over, Bekri.
I'll see you later.
I'll see you sooner than you think, Riza.
Come on, girl. Come on.
Come on, girl.
Well done, my girl.
Greetings, Hasan Father.
Greetings.
Here you go, Father.
-You've summoned me. Here I am.
-You know
dogs sense earthquakes
before everyone else.
The quake going on inside you
can be heard in Fatih,
all the way from Galata.
You're making my dogs anxious.
That's why I called you.
We lost a true friend in a vicious raid.
Don't tell me how he died, Giyaseddin.
All the street dogs in Galata
are witnesses to that.
-They would tell me if I wanted to know.
-Yes?
Our Prophet said...
...that humans are sleeping in this world
and they wake up when they die.
How could you feel bad for his awakening?
The world is impregnated with humans
and when humans die, birth takes place.
Can you grieve birth?
-Thank you.
-Tell me Cadi Efendi
didn't they say that
"death is my wedding night"?
Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi.
You know his holiness Pir
but you don't know
not to grieve for a wedding?
Of course you do.
You regarded him as your own son.
Allah's beloved, when his son, Ibrahim
passed away, what did He say?
"The heart feels sad
and the eyes fill with tears.
Ibrahim
we're very sad today
but if it wasn't the time
for convergence
we would be much sadder."
Whoever it is that took
the ones you loved
and whoever it is that promised you
be together again
he is the intercessor in the other world.
His intercession isn't for a year
like the Padishah's or the Cadi's.
His intercession is perpetual.
May God
forgive our brother.
Amen.
You have my permission. Now go.
Thank you, father.
You left your grief here.
Leave your questions as well.
Excuse my curiosity, Hasan Father.
That blessed creature over there...
He didn't have a single bite to eat
since I came.
That dog was greedy for
another dog's food.
I told him not to see me for three days
because he's grounded.
He's waiting.
Thank you.
My Pasha.
I've talked to Boris about everything.
He won't be disturbing you anymore.
-What did you tell him?
-I told him to forget you.
-Are you crazy?
-Azize, calm down.
You're looking at a mighty
Minister of Internal Affairs.
-What did he say?
-What could he say?
Do you think he could afford
to be in conflict with me?
-What did he say?
-He accepted.
Yes.
You're making a big deal out of Boris.
He would never betray his interests.
You'll be my wife soon.
The wife of
the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Maybe even a Grand Vizier's wife
in the future.
-So I'll be rid of Boris?
-Yes.
He will meet you today
and explain the situation to you.
-I can't believe it.
-Azize.
What did I tell you?
Life goes on for us.
Don't forget this.
Lara, you've caged me in here.
We're supposed to go to the foundation
but I haven't even gotten ready.
You're not going anywhere.
Drink this while it's still hot.
I put all the healing herbs we have in it.
My beautiful girl,
why are you exhausting yourself?
I'm not exhausted.
I'll sacrifice anything for my nanny.
It's very nice. Thank you.
Enjoy it.
Nanny, you don't take care of yourself.
Look at you.
Now listen to me, missy.
I have to go to the foundation now.
Without you!
You'll drink it before it goes cold.
I don't want to hear a single word.
Understood?
-Okay, nanny.
-Well done, my little girl.
Come on.
Cemal.
-Yes, Cadi Efendi.
-Tell all the officers to come in.
As you wish, Cadi Efendi.
Take it away.
At ease!
Good.
Now listen to me carefully.
Two weeks ago
they martyred our friend
our brother
our Hasan.
Its wrecked us and we've
cried during this time
but did you know
that even tears have a purpose?
They clean up for the ensuing smile.
Hasan lived an honorable life.
He was a beloved friend.
He was decent and ethical.
But a decent person knows
that this life is a trial for all of us.
The real life is the eternal life
that starts after death.
Yes, they took him from us viciously
but our duty
is to work without holding anything back
and to secure the justice
that he has been martyred for,
to let his soul rest in peace.
I know
that your hearts are aching.
I wish you to use your heartache
to secure justice.
Only then would we be worthwhile
of our duties.
Only then could we avenge Hasan.
Everyone to their posts now.
You can go.
Mustafa.
Come to my room.
Azize.
Welcome.
Meet Anita von Wilhelm.
I thought it was only going to be
the two of us.
Please.
I specially invited Miss Anita.
There is absolutely no problem.
Esat Pasha came to visit me this morning.
Did you know that?
The Minister of Internal Affairs?
Yes.
Believe me, I would have had
this conversation with you a lot earlier
if I knew your relationship
was so serious.
Do you see?
A magnificent woman
with outrageous self-confidence.
She did almost all her tasks perfectly
to this day.
I see.
What should we drink?
There's a very special herb
that came from India.
Tea. Have you heard of it?
I think it will spread all over
the whole world in a short time.
Do you think you're the only sad one?
Do you think you're the only one
that's cut to the bone?
Sir...
Listen.
You haven't been at the station
for two weeks.
You've kicked up a dust in Istanbul.
We will come to our senses as of today.
What would Hasan say
if he saw us like this?
We will only be powerful if we unite, son.
All the officers are looking up to
your strength and my courage.
Would it be nice for us to let them down?
Yesterday is gone
today is agonizing death
and tomorrow hasn't been born yet.
We'll dominate tomorrow
if we're strong, son.
Otherwise, we can't hold up
against this wind.
It's hard to explain
what you and I have been through.
It's even harder to picture it.
But, son
what good is an archer without a target?
We'll swallow our anger.
We'll overcome this
with patience and wisdom.
I actually live free.
I like to be served.
But today is special.
Azize is leaving us for a while.
-What did you think of it?
-Good.
Awesome.
One should never be scared
of trying new things.
Because that's the only way
to renew yourself.
Time passes so fast.
I discovered Azize's terrible talent
as soon as I found her on the street.
Ruthlessness.
Yes, maybe it isn't a virtue
but it's a big power.
Especially if one wants to rise
in Istanbul.
But with time
people start having other needs.
We should understand this.
For example
Azize first poisoned Mustafa
then she saved him.
Please.
I told you that I understand it.
You wanted to have leverage against me
by saving Mustafa.
Then you ensnared Esat Pasha.
That's another leverage.
What did I say?
Time.
Time.
Time is the ultimate teacher.
But unfortunately
it always kills its students.
And makes them suffer
from terrible miseries.
The cup...
...was poisoned.
It shouldn't kill
but he should suffer a very rare pain.
I wonder what you're after this time.
Comfort.
This is a poison used
by Hashashi assassins to give comfort.
Here you go.
Azize.
Some people are born weak
and some are born strong.
You're one of the weak ones.
But don't worry.
I'll help you ease that load
on your shoulders.
I'll make anyone who does me wrong pay.
You sent word two weeks ago.
You said that anyone
who does you wrong will pay.
It's great that we have
the same principles.
This document...
...is worth 20 million gold.
Mayer...
...really wants you...
...to set up this bank.
Cemil.
We're going hunting.
-They'll supply you with all your needs.
-God bless you.
-Not at all.
-God bless you.
-Get better soon.
-Thank you. God bless you.
Mustafa.
I am so sorry.
I really liked Sergeant Hasan.
I was really worried about you.
I couldn't get any word on it.
-Are you okay?
-I've been angry recently.
I needed time.
I'm sorry.
Just know that...
Just know that I'm with you.
Thanks God, you are in my life.
Guys, aghas, welcome.
As you know, Istanbul's streets
have been cleaned.
You survived.
-Did you ever ask why?
-Why?
Because we wanted you to live.
Gentlemen, we'll rule Istanbul together
but there'll be new rules.
No one will do anything
outside of their turf.
You won't play games
against the government.
Istanbul's a very rich city.
Everyone will do their duties
but of course, you'll get your share.
Riza Efendi, don't worry about it.
We'll get our money in any way.
No problem.
Bekri.
I see that everyone
from the underground is here.
Twelves, Husrevlis
Partners, Fugitives
Gunners.
My warmest regards
and respects to all of you.
Bekri, what the hell are you doing here?
I'm really offended, Riza.
How am I different from these men?
What's happening here, Riza?
Nothing's happening.
Bekri, we're holding a meeting.
-Get out.
-I ask for your forgiveness.
I interrupted your conversation.
With all due respect.
But there's this...
Bekri!
Don't interrupt me, Riza.
You came here without guards.
That's the procedure.
You have respect for each other.
If you want to be big in Istanbul,
you have to act big!
On the other hand, your situation
gives a huge opportunity to those
who want to ambush you.
I'm warning you
as your friend.
Don't ever make the same mistake.
The meeting is over.
Is it because of me?
Agha.
What should we do with the bodies?
Leave it as it is.
We'll be famous!
Field Marshall Efendi.
My father's waiting to have coffee
with you if you're available.
I understand.
Let's go.
What gives, Riza? What's the hurry?
Speak, man!
-It's a disaster.
-What's a disaster?
-They're all dead.
-Who's dead, Riza?
What are you talking about?
We were having a meeting
with the underground barons.
What?
Bekri. He's gone crazy.
Come in.
Minister Efendi, Boris Zaharyas
would like to see you.
Goddamn it!
What kind of trouble have you caused me?
Let him in.
Leave us alone.
Esat Pasha.
I can't believe this.
How many cases did you mess up?
Do you know what happened?
Was it your plan to overtake Istanbul?
I know nothing about what happened.
-Everything happened without my knowledge.
-Giving orders is so easy, Esat Pasha.
What matters is finding the men
to carry out those orders.
You thought you could do it
with a bunch of bandits.
Foolish people that think they are
powerful enough to do anything
are doomed to failure.
Goddamn it.
What am I going to do now?
Fresh air is good.
I'm sorry, Field Marshall Efendi.
It's like I ordered you to come here.
It should be something that's not
suitable to talk about at the station.
That's right.
-I don't want to be called a snitch.
-Okay. I'm listening.
They say that people die
but their reputation lives on.
Hasan was a very gallant and strong man.
The best.
-May God rest his soul.
-Amen.
Some new guy emerged around here
in the last few months.
He's called Bekri.
He's apparently a bandit
from the mountains.
I don't know who called him here
but he hit the town.
-So?
-So, Field Marshall Efendi
he keeps talking around.
He says that he killed Hasan.
Why?
Does he have a death wish?
You know
if you want to rise
you need to commit a serious crime.
Now that he killed Hasan
Bekri obtained his much wanted fame.
Where can I find Bekri?
He goes to a different place
with his guys every night.
My advice is that you should
check out the casinos.
Thank you.
Thank you, Hamdi Agha.
See how awesome it is?
You're helping justice.
Fresh air feels so good
when you're distressed.
You've been distressed recently,
Esat Pasha.
-There have been a lot of problems.
-You're right.
Luckily, I have friends like you,
Boris Efendi.
Do you really think so?
I help you, right?
But you threaten me in my house.
Our friendship is based on this,
Esat Pasha.
I have bribery documents
that belong to you.
I put you in that chair.
So I have requests for you in return.
-But...
-But?
The bribery documents are safe with me.
-As well as your chair.
-Then what do you want from me?
What do they get from hunting?
I don't get anything.
They try to hunt things
that they can easily get
from countrymen or the butcher.
They end up in mud and dirt.
They hunt down things
they can easily obtain.
Did you hear?
Here's what I want from you.
Comprehend the power of your position.
Don't go after things you can buy.
Don't make any mistakes, Esat Pasha.
Azize?
Azize?
Azize?
What happened to you?
I've told you.
I know how to take it back
just like I know how to give it.
But you didn't listen to me.
When you don't listen to me
I end up being obliged to do things
I don't want to do.
For example
if you dare to threaten me again
you'll lie here with Azize forever.
Why would that be necessary?
Why would we go through such things
when we can enjoy our power?
Wouldn't that be a pity for us?
Just do what I want you to do
and you'll see
how life gets better for us.
Do you understand?
Good.
Make a decision now.
What should we do with Azize?
Should we bury her or let her live?
Okay.
I actually want to tell you
something else.
We're setting up the bank.
We've found the money.
What is going to happen to Azize?
Never mind. We'll decide that later.
Come on.
All the gang leaders of Istanbul
were here.
It was a big clean up.
Twelves, Husrevlis.
They're all here.
They were all ambushed.
These men are smart enough
to not be ambushed.
What power brought them here
without guards?
This means that the balance is shifting
in Istanbul, son.
A single man is gaining all the power.
Who is this man?
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
My Shah Father, how are you?
Thank you, Neslihan Sultan.
Will we have dinner together tonight?
-Sure, I'd like that.
-Thank you.
Good.
I'm very happy with Neslihan Sultan's
education.
She apparently learns a lot from you.
I can see her improvement.
You're as good as they say.
My Padishah, God bless you.
Come in.
My Sultan, Grand Vizier Efendi is here.
Let him in.
My Sultan.
Excuse me, Shah Father.
Yes.
-If my Sultan would allow me...
-Yes, Pasha.
Boris Zaharyas sent word.
He'd like to talk to you about the bank.
Good. It's the right time.
Son, I'm in my room.
Gather all the officers upstairs
to the meeting room.
Yes, sir.
Bekri, you'll take over all of Istanbul
if we let you.
We're following your orders, Cemil Efendi.
Well done, Bekri.
See how people rise
when they're given a chance.
Six months ago, you were running away
from officers in the mountains.
Now look around you.
You're the king.
Riza doesn't know anything, right?
Just like we've discussed.
No one knows about our deal.
Good.
Cleaning Istanbul was important.
Now we own the streets.
But you made one mistake, Bekri.
What is it?
You're going around saying
that you killed Hasan.
You can't stop the truth in the street.
Bekri, did you think I was born yesterday?
Far from it.
This must have been heard.
Mustafa will go after you.
What do you want me to do?
What you do best.
We couldn't find any of his photos
in the archive
but we've got a picture drawn
according to Hamdi Agha's description.
The suspect's name is Bekri.
He's a bandit that just arrived
in Istanbul.
He says that he shot Hasan
so he can get famous.
A bandit from the mountains is
hard to find when he hits the city.
They will find a weakness for sure.
What are we going to do?
When God gives us a problem He
will give us the solution for sure.
This guy called Bekri is extremely...
-Can you be the devil?
-Sorry?
You need to be the devil
to overcome the devil.
If you can't do it,
don't dream for nothing.
You thought you were so smart,
right, Esat Pasha?
You've lost to your own ambition.
One day.
One day, Boris.
My Sultan, Boris Zaharyas
is here to see you.
Let him in right away.
My Sultan, Grand Vizier Efendi.
-Do you bring us good news, Boris Efendi?
-I'd like to happily state
that we've found the necessary funding
for the bank.
Good.
How did you do it?
We created the funds from our
own sources with the right partners.
So you didn't accept any help
from the outside?
-Remarkable, Boris Efendi.
-Thank you, my Sultan.
Let the Minister of Finance know
right away.
Tell him to issue the necessary permits
at once.
Yes, my Sultan.
Finally.
Finally, our country will see good days.
No doubt about that, my Sultan.
Assistant, open the door.
Pasha, you will investigate
every little bit of this fortune.
Yes, my Sultan.
GERMAN EMBASSY
-Mr. Ambassador. *
-Miss Anita.
I'd love to give you good news
but unfortunately you're staying.
How?
We paid the money today.
We're done here. We should leave Istanbul.
The truth is that your father and Mayer
want you to stay here
until the bank is set up.
-How?
-I've received the news.
They don't trust Boris Efendi too much.
They can't be considered wrong.
Istanbul.
I understand.
Vivienne
we'll stay in this city
for a while longer.
I'm sure my father has a reason...
...for keeping us here.
The fabled
Filinta Mustafa.
No one can escape my ambush.
You're in my trap.
You think you're so smart, right, Bekri?
A bandit is a bandit everywhere.
Both in the mountains and in the city.
If you're so crafty and smart
why were you ambushed?
It's easy to beat people
who have too much confidence.
Do you understand? You're a bandit.
You'll only ambush as long as
you're someone else's dog.
It's not hard to predict your moves.
Now we'll talk.
Why did you shoot Hasan?
Hold your positions!
Run, Bekri! Run!
Son,
do whatever you want to do, but just
make sure you find that cursed man.
There's something not right.
What is it? Tell me.
Bekri.
If he shot Hasan,
then why didn't he mention that
during these past two weeks?
Right.
Why would a man that lived a life
in banditry and hiding shoot Hasan
when he comes to Istanbul?
He knows pretty well
that we'll go after him.
Last night, someone took Bekri
and his men from us.
Who are they?
Whoever's using Bekri
for their dirty work.
What kind of dirty work?
Let's think about the massacre yesterday.
No one from Istanbul would do
such a thing.
They'd know that they can't make it
through and the revenge would be taken.
These men came from outside Istanbul,
but who brought them here?
That's the right question.
These men also have something
to do with you.
Yes.
First, they had Bekri
take care of the job,
and then they unleashed them on us.
If we had killed Bekri...
Both Hasan's incident and
the massacre will be history.
Right.
Son, Bekri is the key to this.
We can open all the doors
if we find Bekri.
These documents came from
the Ministry of Finance, Boris Efendi.
Put them down.
You see, right?
Even the best plans fail
because of an idiot.
Where is Bekri?
We're looking for him, Boris Efendi.
Do you know how hard it is
to find a guy like yourself?
I didn't understand, Boris Efendi.
Now that Azize is gone too,
try to put yourself in my shoes and think.
Bekri will give them your name
if he gets caught.
Your name means my name.
Do you see the position I'm in?
Why are you doing things
that will upset me, Cemil?
Please go.
Find Bekri by tonight
and we'll forget about this situation.
I know, you're so sad.
If there's anything I could do...
It's enough that you're with me.
I don't need anything else.
He was a great man.
He was.
I can't go in his house.
It's like I'll see him any minute.
That girl is our ticket out of Istanbul.
We'll both take revenge from Mustafa
and become rich.
I'm talking about money.
But we have to be shrewd, right?
There's no use in getting sad.
I never want to leave you.
But I have to go.
I'm so glad that I have you, Lara.
If you can't find that guy called Bekri
by the end of today,
I will make you all dig your own graves!
Do you understand me?
Now go!
We need to determine which households
are poor and write down their needs.
I already wrote down the households
that need help.
Is that so? Did you also add their needs?
Not yet.
Hatice.
You see Mustafa more than me.
He seems really deep in thought, lately.
I mean, when he's with me.
Is he always like that?
Yes.
I think the situation affected him
quite a bit.
I mean, that's what it looks like to me.
Get in the coach! Get in the coach!
Get in!
-Help!
Go!
Lara Zaharyas.
The guardian angel of Galata Station.
Boris Zaharyas' daughter.
We've heard a lot about you
but most importantly,
I found out that you're Mustafa's lover.
What do you want from us?
Some money from your banker father!
What am I doing in the city?
My forte is banditry in the mountains.
Also, abducting people and taking them
to the mountains.
It makes people really happy
when they return to themselves.
This is what I understood.
If you do us any harm...
-Are you okay?
-Now, if you don't sit down quietly,
you'll be praying over
your friend's dead body.
Sir, Bekri!
He abducted Lara and Miss Hatice.
We'll see how much your daddy values you.
Don't worry. He'll give you what you want.
He had better.
Or this beautiful face of yours...
Get your hands off!
Now, you may think I have a conscience,
but I don't.
As soon as I get the money,
Mustafa will get your dead body.
Go to Boris Zaharyas' house now.
Show him the ring.
Tell him that his beautiful girl
says hello.
It would be nice if you tell him
that I also said hello.
I want 40 thousand in gold.
He can bring it himself,
or he can send it with someone,
but it must be in an hour.
Do you know
what warms you the most in the mountains?
Sacks of gold.
Go and look around.
See what they're saying about us.
Money is very important.
Money!
-Boris Efendi.
-What happened?
-Lara.
-What?
Bekri abducted Lara.
Bekri doesn't know that he's my man.
Right?
No.
Then he most likely abducted my daughter
for ransom.
He thinks I'm a banker.
He'll send his right hand man.
We'll wait.
Don't be around
when his right hand man is here.
Go out.
Come in.
Boris Efendi, someone wants to see you.
He says he has news about your daughter.
Let him in, quickly.
Go out.
Yes. You...
Did you bring news from my daughter?
How do you know Lara?
Let's put it this way.
We have your daughter. She's our guest.
What are you talking about?
To tell you the truth,
Boris Zaharyas Efendi,
we have abducted your daughter.
And I'm here to take your
40 thousand in gold.
Oh my God! What are you saying?
See if this looks familiar.
This is Lara's ring.
I don't have any gold,
but I do have money.
These...
These will be enough for the 40 thousand.
Take it.
Where's my daughter?
Well done, miss.
Blood.
There's not much blood.
I hope nothing bad happened.
They were in this coach.
They left the coach
to avoid drawing attention,
and then they continued on foot.
Listen to me. Bandits feel safe
in desolate places. Do you understand?
Leave no corner unchecked. Check all
the warehouses and empty buildings.
Go.
Where's my daughter?
I can't tell you, Mr. Zaharyas.
But your daughter is alive.
Don't worry. Just wait for our word.
Is that so?
Where's my daughter?
Where is she?
At the old tobacco warehouse
by the shipyard.
Where?
At the old tobacco warehouse
by the shipyard!
You're not lying. That means we're done.
The old tobacco warehouse by the shipyard.
You're not coming. Clean up this mess.
Where is he? It's been so long!
-My wrist hurts so badly.
-Come on, we have to run.
No, I can't walk, Lara.
My wrist hurts so bad. You should go.
No way. Come on, try harder.
We have to go.
-Lara, please go.
-Hatice, come on. We're close to the door.
The beautiful sparrow was hurt,
but the other bird didn't notice that.
Did you think that you could
get away from me?
Let her go.
Bekri, let her go!
I should be crazy
to let such a beautiful girl go.
Let her go.
Dad?
What happens if I don't let her go?
Here's what happens.
Poor Azize.
We'll deal with you later.
Great.
We'll see how it looks.
Great. Do you remember your name?
-No.
-It doesn't matter.
We'll take care of it.
Your biggest enemy is Filinta Mustafa.
Filinta Mustafa.
Filinta Mustafa.
Filinta Mustafa.
