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
Bala Hatun has been running away
from someone called Emir.
Boris' real name was Emir.
Bala Hatun is here. She'll meet only you.
Wait for me at the Galata Tower tonight.
There's something strange.
They could find another place to attack us
other than the Kuscu Inn.
Also, they attacked with fewer men
this time.
They want to draw us to another place!
They'd go according to their plan
afterwards.
Cadi Efendi.
Run Ali!
Greetings, Yakup.
Yakup.
I'm here.
Cadi Giyaseddin Hatemi!
Do you know how wolves hunt?
First, they separate the prey
from its flock.
As we did to you.
Shall we take you to Bala Hatun,
Cadi Efendi?
-Where's Cadi Efendi?
-He left a while ago.
-Did he say where he went?
-No.
They especially told us not to follow.
Run Ali, run.
-Where did Cadi Efendi go?
-I guess to Galata.
In the name of God!
Bekri. Tell your mortals to come out.
Let's settle the account.
Is that all, Bekri?
In the name of God!
Stop.
Okay.
What? Do you yield, Cadi Efendi?
The Ottoman Empire never yields.
Don't forget that.
Greetings.
Cadi Efendi. We'll talk nicely with you.
Guys. Have you seen a fight
or something around here?
No, chief. We saw no one.
Cemil.
Bekri has done it.
You can't alter the past, Cemil.
But the future is always in your hand.
That's why you should never despair.
Don't twitch your fingers, Cadi Efendi.
No one could find you here,
no matter what they did.
Bekri.
God knows where I am. That suffices.
Don't say what befell me,
say what will become of me.
You know, you were holding me
in your cage.
Now I host you at my place like kings.
We're on the right track this time, Ali.
Have you counted the men we followed,
Mustafa, brother?
That cur will take us to Bekri.
You'll see.
We've busted five ratholes, Mustafa.
-You said each one was it.
-This one's different.
That cur is Bekri's ex-man.
-What do you want, you cursed soul?
-Money!
A little bit of money is all.
I don't have what you want.
Don't you know that?
But not from you.
If it was up to me I'd steer clear of you.
But
you've got powerful enemies.
Why won't they show themselves?
They put you on my tail instead.
They're so naive. Like babies.
They've got pure hands.
They only use likes of me as a tool.
But they forget
that tool might cut a finger
if they're careless.
-Go in.
-Okay. Come on.
They smell like goat.
What's going on?
-I slipped, bro.
-Do be careful.
Cowards die many times
before their deaths, Bekri.
Death is closer to you
than it is to me, Cadi Efendi.
-Where's Cadi Giyaseddin?
-I don't know, chief.
-There's no one here.
-Aren't you working for Bekri?
Look at me. Don't lie in the presence
of this little child.
Or I'll ruin you.
That Bekri almost got me too.
I could barely flee for my life.
You don't know where he is?
There, my child.
I don't.
If you're lying...
I'm damned if I am.
There, my child.
Boris Efendi.
Everyone's looking for Cadi Giyaseddin.
What do we do?
Let them search for some more. We'll wait.
Let the heat get higher.
There's a place we've got to visit.
Come with me.
Come on, my lions.
Let's play in the garden.
The children are devastated.
-Mustafa.
-The investigation is still on.
What if they kill him?
If they do anything to Cadi Efendi
they know they won't make it out alive.
-How can you be so sure?
-I can.
Don't worry.
I'll bring him home safe and sound.
No harm will come to him. I promise.
Istanbul is not big enough
to hide him from me.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
Esat Pasha. How can you say
Cadi Giyaseddin has been kidnapped
in the middle of Dersaadet?
-My Sultan.
-Enough!
Esat Pasha.
Maybe I have imposed a greater burden
than you can shoulder.
The kidnapping of Cadi Giyaseddin
is not a move against Galata
instead it is a move against
the Ottoman Empire.
And I am the object of this.
The world Padishah.
Esat Pasha.
Either solve this matter,
or you'll get out of my sight.
As our Padishah commands.
-Grand Vizier.
-Command me, my Sultan.
You have been granted permission
to leave, Esat Pasha.
Esat Pasha.
You'll call in the army to aid
in your investigations if need be.
You'll search Istanbul
from house to house, one by one.
And you'll find me Cadi Giyaseddin.
As you command, my Sultan.
Guard! Open the door!
Miss Sureyya,
Cadi Giyaseddin has been abducted.
So another woman will be widowed
because of Boris.
Mustafa, this won't work like this.
How?
We have to be patient first.
We should take a deep breath
then we'll put our police force in action.
Wait.
One moment.
The real owners of these streets
are these kids.
They set fire to poor Semsettin's house
yesterday morning.
Did you know that, Giyaseddin?
My God!
What are you talking about, Vahdet Efendi?
Yes. Poor people are left without a house.
He has two babies. Thank God,
there wasn't anyone inside.
May God help him. What a pity.
So, how did it happen?
-Well, no one knows.
You're saying that it happened
in the morning.
How come no one saw it?
We saw it, Master.
Fritter Master Ahmet
by the mosque did it.
Yes, Ahmet did it. He burned down
the house saying "I want my money".
There you go. They have all the news.
They really do. The real owners
of these streets are these kids.
I found it, Ali.
I found who can lead us to the Cadi.
I know who's going to tell us
where Bekri is.
You're the only happy thing in my life.
I learned what love is
thanks to you, Lara.
I don't care even if death comes next.
I loved you.
My heart beats for you.
These bars, these walls,
they don't matter as long
as I am in your heart.
What are we doing here?
Cadi Giyaseddin was abducted.
We should release the porters into the
street so they can gather information.
Then we let the officers...
-What is it to you?
Look around.
Are we officers?
We're porters, son. Porters!
We're not getting involved in this.
Porters will keep doing their job.
-But father...
-There is no but!
Do you think you're the agha
to these porters?
My words are final!
Bowler, they abducted Cadi Giyaseddin.
And is Mustafa in love with you?
If he is, why did he let you have
a close brush with death?
Love is courage, my daughter.
To be able to sacrifice yourself.
To devote yourself to the one you love.
Did he take a bullet to protect you? No.
It is because of him
that you're laid up in this bed.
Because if Mustafa was in love with you,
then he would be lying
in the bed, not you.
You might remain crippled all your life.
He earned your heart
and he took your legs in return.
Enough! Enough!
Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough!
Enough! Enough!
Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough!
-Lara?
Lara!
-Enough!
-Lara, don't!
-Enough! Go away!
Leave me alone! Go away!
Sweetheart.
I don't exist anymore. Do you understand?
Please, go! Get out!
I told you to go away!
Everything will be fine,
my beautiful daughter.
Get the hell out! Leave me alone!
Go! Get out!
Get the hell out!
-Welcome, brothers.
-Thank you.
Cadi Giyaseddin Father,
who took us under his wings and
protected us has been abducted.
-Why would they abduct Giyaseddin Father?
-Giyaseddin Father was abducted?
-How come?
-When?
We're not stealing, spying
or walking around today.
Today, everyone will look
for Giyaseddin Father.
Our station being in the first place,
all the officers in Istanbul
will search for Cadi Efendi.
Whoever took Cadi Efendi
is obviously a professional.
They didn't leave any traces behind.
Any of the bad guys might have
abducted Cadi Efendi.
But our guess is that it is Bekri.
You're going to check every single hole.
You'll peek at every place.
You'll be all ears for any voice.
Whoever finds a hint will find me at once.
You're going to go after all the bad lot.
Bandits like to brag.
Put on your civilian clothing
and spread in the city.
Understood?
God help us.
Let's search everywhere.
Guys.
Bekri and a couple of his main men
are pictured here.
Everyone should take a copy.
Be careful.
-Didn't they tell you that I was coming?
-No one told me anything.
I told them that I would come for sure.
I don't get it.
I told them to tell you.
-I'm worn to the bone.
-I'm so tired.
Yes, tell me. Is there any news
about Cadi Giyaseddin?
-No, we didn't see him.
-We looked everywhere.
Where did Giyaseddin Father go?
Go. We'll search until we find him.
-I'm very tired but I'll keep looking.
-Keep looking!
-We'll find him!
-Come on!
I regarded you as my daughter for years.
I get depressed when I see you like this.
Even if you're not my own blood,
you're a part of my life, Lara.
We'll get through these days together
even if you like it or not.
Put that at the back of your mind,
my beautiful daughter.
Come in.
Minister Efendi.
When did we sell our souls to the devil?
I was a really good soldier, Riza.
I'm looking at what I gained
and what I lost.
I feel like a bug caught up
in a spider web.
When I try to escape,
it wraps me in even more.
A soldier doesn't deserve this.
This can't go on.
Have my coach ready, Riza.
Yes, sir.
You didn't even touch your plate.
There are no hard feelings at the table.
Didn't you like this poor guy's food?
I can have something else
prepared for you, if you want,
your Highness Cadi Efendi!
Bekri.
Whatever your intent is,
you have to act fast.
Don't waste my time.
We're actually a lot like each other.
To tell you the truth, your beard
is longer than my beard.
There's also this.
Neither of us are afraid of death.
Bekri,
in truth, death is the
first step to eternity.
I'm not afraid because I know
what comes after death.
You're not afraid because you
don't know what's after it.
No. No.
You're wrong, Cadi Efendi.
I know that hellhounds are waiting
for me impatiently on the other side.
I'm just postponing my journey to hell.
That's it.
Ignorance.
Mehmet Efendi.
I didn't hear you, Boris Efendi.
Do you see, Weasel? Such a man
that's in love with his job.
Can you call such a man a counterfeiter?
No.
He is an artist.
Your fake documents saved me
from such troubles that...
Lastly, Omer Pasha got in trouble.
Like you ordered.
Did you prepare the last thing I wanted?
I just finished it.
The ink just finished drying.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
Mehmet.
Don't forget this.
I'm smart enough to buy you.
But I'm not foolish enough to trust you.
Just make your art talk.
Don't talk around.
Okay?
The document about Omer Pasha.
What about that?
The document looks legit, my Sultan.
Or...
Or what?
Or it was prepared
with a demonic craftsmanship.
We shouldn't disregard
the evil powers of humans
that believe in Satan,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
You always accuse us, Cadi Efendi.
Take a look at these men.
Which one chose this way willingly?
This is fate, Cadi Efendi! Fate!
Bekri, only unwary people
would see fate responsible
for what happened to them.
God gave us free will
in this world of trial
so we can distinguish coal
from diamond.
We pick between darkness and light.
I love when you speak.
It makes me intoxicated,
your Highness Cadi Efendi.
You speak very well.
I never had teachers like you.
-That's enough.
If I had such teachers, I would go.
You mortal, even an ant could be a teacher
to those who want to find the right way.
Don't forget that.
You're right, your Highness Cadi Efendi.
If I couldn't do it,
that means it's not fated.
We'll see what happens
to you, Mighty Cadi.
Only God knows that.
Are you sure it was Bekri's man you saw?
Chief, I don't know
but I think he looked similar.
Chief, those men were saying
that the Cadi got his dessert.
-You can go. Thank you.
-Okay.
In the name of God.
Let death come from wherever it wants.
Either with prayers
or from a jackal's hand like yours.
If it is our time,
death will be pleasurable for us.
We were having a good conversation,
your Highness Cadi Efendi.
Life is short.
For some people, it's shorter.
As the saying goes.
Angry people hurt themselves.
Why are you getting furious?
Why are you getting into a rage?
Have a little patience.
I'm not getting into a rage, you mortal.
Don't you see?
It's almost past prayer time.
Peace be upon you.
And peace be upon you.
Where's your owner?
Slow down, Filinta Mustafa.
What if I don't?
We don't have anything to do
with Bekri anymore.
You can't get anything here.
Come on, leave us alone now.
Or...
-Or what?
You can only have an effect
as much as yourself.
Cannibal!
If that's what you're saying.
You asked for it.
Filinta Mustafa.
Do your job.
You'll kill him.
You'll kill him. Kill Mustafa.
Kill Mustafa. Do your job.
Kill Mustafa.
Do your job.
I'll kill you if you don't talk.
Where is Bekri?
Chief,
I swear I don't know.
That scumbag didn't give us our money.
We don't work with him anyway!
Mustafa, okay. Calm down.
This bastard doesn't know anything.
I'll deal with you later.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
Come in.
Grand Vizier Efendi, your guests are here.
Don't make our guests wait. Let them in.
We're grateful that you accepted us
in such a short notice,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
You stated that it's an urgent matter.
Have a seat.
I'm listening.
It's about the bank
that the state is going to set up,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
It will be a benefit for Ottomans
to know behind the scenes.
Gulbahar, I'll ask you to do something.
Yes, Boris Efendi.
Take this letter to the
Field Marshal right away.
But this is Lara's handwriting.
Exactly. Right away.
Yes, Boris Efendi.
Did you see that?
Calligrapher Mehmet did a good job.
Even Gulbahar thought
that it's Lara's handwriting.
How dare you come here?
Leave us alone.
This meeting is for your good, Omer.
But it's up to you anyway.
Wait.
Leave us alone.
The thing that will free you
from all your troubles
is in my hands right now, Omer.
As you know, my deceased husband was
one of the richest
and most respected entrepreneurs.
We have information about him.
I'm an Ottoman from birth and I also
grew up here. This is my native land.
That's why the state's bank
concerns me a lot.
Tell me what you know about
the bank, Miss Sureyya.
Before everything, you should know
that Omer Pasha is innocent.
At least about this.
-So...
-I told you that you're innocent.
All those documents about you are fake.
So you're admitting?
I can tell you more.
The man behind this
is Boris Zaharyas.
Boris Zaharyas.
He did everything in order
to set up the bank.
A banker can do anything he can
to set up the state's bank.
If you have any claims
that Boris Efendi did this illegally,
you have to prove it.
It was apparent that scoundrel
Boris Zaharyas was behind this.
It was obvious.
So why are you telling me this?
You're his helper too.
If you had even a little bit of honor,
you would say this in the presence
of our Padishah.
Honor.
Honor, Omer Pasha?
I would. I would say all this
in the presence of our Padishah.
Because I'm so cornered that...
But believe me, I wouldn't do this
for a traitor like yourself.
Traitor? Why are you here then?
Just like I said.
To free you from all your troubles.
I have no proof about Boris Zaharyas.
This is not what I wanted
to talk with you, anyway.
Please go on.
As you know, he doesn't have enough money
to set up a bank.
I would like to set up our state bank
if my Sultan allows me.
Plus, with 30 million gold funding
instead of 12 million gold.
We can set up a much stronger bank
with that amount of money.
Miss Sureyya, money isn't the only
sensitive problem of the state
when it comes to setting up the bank.
But I will take your request
to our Padishah.
Esat Pasha, you came here telling me
that you'll vindicate me...
How many children do you have?
-What?
-Three.
I have three children.
They recently lost their mother.
Yes, I told you that
you're innocent this time.
But you're one of the most corrupt people
this government has ever seen.
-But...
-There's no but, Omer Pasha.
I obtained very interesting documents
from my investigation on you.
Fig, grape and tobacco farms in Mugla
registered in the name
of your brother in law.
Accounts in foreign banks full of money
in your acquaintances' names.
You have been
the Minister of Finance for years.
And you robbed the government
during your duties as a minister.
Where do you come up with this bullshit?
Where do you think
I got all this information?
You can't prove these.
Are you sure?
Believe me, I have sources too.
How much do you want?
I'll give you half of it.
Keep all your property.
I don't care about those.
But maybe you can leave
an honorable death to your family.
Who knows? Maybe they'll be saved
from going on the streets
with no money after you are gone.
Esat.
Pasha.
Like I said.
The thing that will save you
from all your troubles
is in these bullets.
Do what honor requires you to do, Pasha.
Take this.
You have to do this for the
honor of your family.
Let's go, Riza.
Yes, nanny?
This is from Lara.
Maybe you'll trust this
if you didn't trust me the last time.
I had great hopes and I loved you
so much, Mustafa.
It turns out that you
don't deserve any of it.
You're the reason for my situation.
This relationship
should've never happened.
I never want to see you again, Mustafa.
Never.
Lara.
What is that, Mustafa?
Lara.
She's telling me that it's over.
Oh, my Mustafa. The last thing you needed
was to suffer the pangs of love.
What are you looking for, Mustafa?
There's something going on.
I'll find it out.
One should believe in his own lies first.
Or no one would believe you.
I told Cadi Efendi that...
Bala Hatun...
Has been running away from someone
called Emir for years.
Bala Hatun will see only you.
Wait for me by the Galata Tower tonight.
Only you.
What happened? He trusted me.
He came over. Like a toddler!
Enough! Get lost!
-Yes, sir.
Thanks, sir.
Boris.
You called me.
-Yes.
I want you to send a telegram to Mayer.
We need money to set up the bank.
-So?
-So what?
Sureyya took 20 million in gold away
from us because of your clumsiness.
Then, forget both the bank and Mayer.
Don't you...
...talk to me like that!
Never.
The things we go through in life
and the things we're exposed to
may shake us
but that's exactly
where we get our power, right?
Your lover, probably your child's father,
has been killed. Poor guy.
But there's also this.
Your lover wasn't noble.
He was a common officer.
What is your father's attitude going to be
when he finds out you're pregnant
by a man like that?
Everyone deserves to be a mother.
You deserve it too, for sure.
That's why you shouldn't
talk to me like that.
Think about your baby.
What do you want me to do?
Good.
Go to the embassy right away.
Tell Mayer to send 25 million gold
through this bank...
-25 million?
-Yes, Anita.
Yes. 25 million.
Mayer and your father will find the money.
They'll send me that money
if they want Istanbul that much.
That's why your job is easy.
That way, we'll keep
the pregnancy a secret.
Now, 25 million in gold.
I want it right away.
Bekri, it's obvious
that I won't survive this.
Tell me.
I'll learn who's behind this before I die.
I can tell you,
but everything has a time and place.
That's not the way to do it, Bekri.
You wanted to talk.
Did you change your mind?
Okay. Okay. Let's talk.
That's more like it. Sit down.
Those two officers,
Filinta Mustafa, Blade Ali,
are they your pupils, Cadi Efendi?
You need to leave every job
to the professional, Master.
Tell me if you won't be able to do it.
So I know.
Wait, Huseyin Efendi.
Don't confuse my simple mind.
This is the right move, Master.
Well done, Mustafa Efendi. Thank you.
Bravo.
Huseyin Efendi, we look but they see.
Wisdom doesn't come with age.
With God's help,
my sons will find me, Bekri.
You know that.
Those two pupils of yours,
slaughtered my blood, my life,
my brother, in front of my eyes.
Bekri.
People do evil not because
they have strong ambitions
but because they have a weak conscience.
If your intent is to kill me in return
for your brother, draw the gun.
I won't even bat an eye.
But,
if your intent is to kill my sons,
I will never let you do that,
don't forget it.
Don't lie to me with your
"my brother was innocent" bullshit.
Your brother knew that
and you know it as well.
If you run in the dark, you'll fall down.
Cadi Efendi, you have a way with words.
We'll see who falls down first!
Slow down, slow down.
What's going on?
-Come over to our place, my chief.
Let's go.
Esat Pasha!
Welcome.
What can I do for you?
Omer Pasha committed suicide.
What are you saying?
So they couldn't get his service pistol.
Poor guy.
Sure, he couldn't stomach it.
-I convinced him.
What? How?
What did you say?
I washed all his dirty linen in public.
He didn't have much choice.
Esat Pasha.
I discovered your talent the first day.
You're getting better every day.
Good.
But I'm thinking that you're not here
to give me this news.
No. The news would get to you anyway.
I want something else.
What is it?
Where is Cadi Giyaseddin?
Cadi Giyaseddin?
I know that you abducted him.
No one else is strong enough for this.
If I can't bring the Cadi
to the Padishah safe and sound,
my duty as Minister of Internal Affairs
will be in jeopardy.
Our ruse too.
You have the right to make
the final decision of course.
As I said, you get better every day.
Very smart.
Giyaseddin would be my gift to you anyway.
By saving him, you'll have more dignity
in the eyes of the Padishah.
You'll be a hero.
Just like I thought.
Sure, Esat Pasha. Sure.
Giyaseddin is in Kasim Street in Tophane.
By the way,
if you raid that place,
don't let anyone but Giyaseddin survive.
I understand, Boris Efendi.
Welcome, my chief.
-Welcome, my chief.
-What's the situation?
I think we've found the bandits' den
this time.
Where's Cadi Giyaseddin?
He's in Tophane. In Kasim Street.
Well done.
Give me that.
Never steal from anyone else again. Okay?
Wouldn't we give
you what you want?
Here.
Go and eat with your friends.
Thank you, my chief.
Come on, let's get something to eat.
Bekri, you always make the same mistakes.
What are those?
This man that's using you,
he's no good at anything
but getting you into trouble.
I said that you have a way with words,
okay, but you speak a lot, Cadi.
You're speaking nonsense.
But I speak the truth, Bekri.
You know that as well.
If you kill me,
all of your ways out
will be blocked, Bekri.
You know that this man
won't leave any witnesses behind.
I'm your last chance, Bekri.
Speak so I can save you, Bekri.
Look at me.
Who's behind this? Tell me.
Tell me, come on. Confess to me,
so I can do whatever I can to forgive you.
How's that going to work?
Tell me his name
and I will save your life.
What are you going to say?
The man whose daughter I kidnapped
and almost killed
hired me to do banditry in Istanbul.
Is that what you are going to say?
Who would believe you?
No one would believe me
even if I told you now.
They would make me kiss
the gallows soon.
You won't be executed because of me
but soon you'll get shot
in the back, Bekri.
You have no other option but to trust me.
Bekri, whether you go to the mountains
or stay in Istanbul
you have no way out.
You know way too much.
They won't let you live, man.
Talking is for your own good, Bekri.
Stop!
How did you find this place?
-What is it to you, scumbag?
We're raiding this place. Go away.
Try and stop me.
Go to the back door. You'll raid the place
when the firing starts. Go on.
There are at least 20 bandits inside.
-It's 21 with you.
You've always been a coward, Riza.
Don't look at me like that.
Let's go, then. Like the old days.
If this is another setup
and Cadi Efendi gets hurt
I won't let you live, Riza.
Even if I take you out of here,
where would we go, Cadi Efendi?
That's easy. Leave it to me.
The name.
If you betray us, I'll make you eat this.
It's a raid!
Soldiers, come in!
Show no mercy to anyone!
I'll find you later.
Son, for the first time I am not happy
for you to arrive right on time.
Don't miss Bekri.
-Master.
I'm okay. Go!
Stop!
It's the end of the road, Bekri.
Let's go!
We have to go!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Once again you escaped, Bekri.
You ran a lot.
Go to Cadi Efendi. I can't trust anyone.
I'll take him to Abdullah.
You didn't leave any witnesses behind
once more, Riza.
These are bandits, Cadi Efendi.
They don't understand
laying down their guns.
What happened to Bekri?
The bastard got away again.
Don't worry. We'll catch that dog
sooner or later.
Let me introduce you.
Our bandit, Bekri.
Don't get too close. He's like a snake.
You couldn't trust anyone from the station
so you brought him here?
Exactly.
Aunt Ayse, Cadi Giyaseddin was saved.
Don't worry.
He should be at the station now.
Thank God.
In the name of God.
Thank God.
Why aren't we going to
Abdullah's store, Cadi Efendi?
We can make Bekri talk there.
Let's act like everything is in order
instead of making suspicious moves.
Bekri is in good hands anyway.
In the name of God.
-Mr. Cadi!
-My cherub Cadi! Cherub!
-Okay. Okay.
-Cadi Giyaseddin.
-Yes?
Father, where have you been?
We were worrying for days. We were scared.
You don't listen to us. You go outside
by yourself and made us very worried.
Yes. I was scared out of my mind.
-Get better soon.
-Thank you.
But do you have the right
to do this to this guy?
Do you know what he's been through
while you were gone?
Only me and God knows that.
I mean, your Honor Cadi Efendi.
Your Honor.
We will ask you to
not to ever do such a thing.
Yes, sir. The whole nation
needs you, please.
Okay. Okay.
Don't be afraid.
You're right, mortals.
I trusted a mortal way too much
and I was deceived.
I'll be sure to let you know next time.
Thank you.
Let's not push it too much
because we said what needed to be said.
We should go.
-I think so. He looks very tired anyway.
We'll talk with him later. Okay.
Run!
What a laugh.
God bless these two with a long life.
-Amen.
If it weren't for them,
we'd never be smiling.
Weasel.
Weasel.
Does it really hurt so much?
I'm wondering.
Pull the knife out, Azize.
You're acting like a child.
You should try to man up a little.
Pull out the knife already!
There's something else
that's bothering you.
Don't worry about it,
in the midst of all these troubles.
Tell me.
Lara sent this to me.
"I want to leave you."
Take a look at this.
That's an article she wrote
for the foundation.
They both have the same writing.
Mustafa.
You're so smart.
I just finished it.
The ink is just now dry.
You're the only happy thing in my life.
I learned what love is
thanks to you, Lara.
Love is to be able to love
despite all hardships.
I don't care even if death comes next.
And is Mustafa in love with you?
I loved you.
My heart is beating for you.
If he is, why did he leave you
to have a close brush with death?
These bars, these walls,
they don't matter as long
as I am in your heart.
Love is courage, my daughter.
To be able to sacrifice yourself.
To devote yourself to the one you love.
Did he take a bullet to protect you? No.
It is because of him
that you're laid up in this bed.
Because if Mustafa was in love with you,
then he would be lying in the bed,
not you.
You might remain crippled all your life.
He doesn't love you, understand this.
He earned your heart and
he took your legs in return.
You'll stand up, my daughter.
Stronger than before and more ruthless.
The letters are the same but...
But the ghayn and ayn letters
are a little taller.
The letters are the same,
but they're too neat.
So?
So, a hurt girl wouldn't write
such a standard letter.
Lara didn't write this letter.
But I can guess who wrote it, Mustafa.
Esat Pasha, I practically handed you the
guy but you were capable of missing him.
Whatever, my men will go after him.
There's something else, Boris Efendi.
Sureyya.
Miss Sureyya, I thought
that you went to see the Grand Vizier
not to set up the bank
but to talk about Boris Zaharyas.
If I talked to him about Boris Zaharyas,
what would the Grand Vizier,
who is a real statesman, say?
He would say that they can't hear a case
based only on opinions
and that they need my proofs
and witnesses.
But we don't have any proof
on Boris Zaharyas.
But, we have power and money.
That is what we'll use against him.
In the first step, we will weaken Boris.
So, Sureyya talked to the Grand Vizier
to set up the bank.
What is the Padishah
going to say about this?
So this woman called Sureyya
wants to invest 30 million in gold
to set up the bank.
That's right, my Sultan.
She has enough assets to do this.
Then who is Miss Sureyya?
She is the widow of one of the
richest men in the world.
All of her husband's assets
passed down to Miss Sureyya.
That's not what I'm asking,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
I understand that she has assets.
I want to know her intentions.
They'll be more careful about the bank
after Omer Pasha's suicide.
This is good for us.
Omer Pasha's suicide
will be really beneficial for us.
All the countries are aware
that Ottoman will set up a bank.
In this situation, the Padishah
has to decide quickly.
Padishah's work is unfathomable,
Boris Efendi.
We shouldn't let our guards down anyway.
We don't have any more time to lose.
This bank will be set up,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
This bank will be set up.
But with whom?
How is he?
He's okay.
He'll be on his feet soon.
-Yes?
I can get up.
Lie down. Lie down.
I need him up as soon as possible.
-Peace be upon you.
-And peace be upon you.
Mustafa.
Is this our new prison?
Magnificent. It is full of books.
If all the prisons are like this,
there would be
an abundance of wise people in Istanbul,
your Honor Cadi Efendi!
Untie him, Mustafa. Untie him.
Don't talk so much.
The problem is not being wise, Bekri.
The problem is being nothing
and getting carried away.
Let's get to the main problem.
The man you protected deceived you again.
He also tried to kill you.
Now, give me what I want,
and I'll give you the rest of your life.
If you don't tell us who hired you...
Boris Zaharyas.
What?
You heard right, Cadi Efendi.
Boris Zaharyas is behind
all the crimes in Istanbul.
We've worked so hard but
we'll finally set up the bank.
Mr. Boris Zaharyas was going to
set up his bank beautifully
and count his money
while I was causing disarray in Istanbul.
While Filinta Mustafa
and his Highness Cadi Giyaseddin Hatemi
was coming after me,
he was going to play his tricks.
I want you to turn the streets
of Istanbul upside down.
You'll create trouble every day.
That way, Cadi Giyaseddin and Mustafa
will be too busy to lift their heads
to mess with me.
Anything else?
There's nothing else. Wait for my word.
What?
What happened?
Were you planning to leave Istanbul?
What's more, I'm leaving
Istanbul tomorrow.
Anita, we're in this together.
Did you think I would give you up
so easily?
You got the money.
You don't need me anymore.
Don't dare to tell me what I need.
You are going to stay in Istanbul.
Think about your baby if you aren't
thinking for your own sake.
Long journeys wouldn't
be good for him. Right?
Boris Zaharyas.
The man whose daughter you kidnapped
and asked for ransom.
The man whose daughter you shot.
So he hired you?
If I give them your name,
what will happen then?
What are you going to say?
The man whose daughter I kidnapped
and almost killed
hired me to do banditry in Istanbul.
Is that what you are going to say?
Who would believe you?
I told you that you wouldn't
believe me, Cadi Efendi.
What I'm saying is groundbreaking.
On the contrary, I believe you, Bekri.
But be careful with that man.
Satan has his headquarters
based in that man's mind.
He does all kind of dirty work.
Abducting people,
gathering men from the mountains,
fake documents.
Wait.
What the hell did you say?
Lara didn't write these letters.
But I can guess who wrote it, Mustafa.
We have to talk.
You could've been
a very good calligrapher.
But you didn't stick to your masters' webs
and you ruined yourself.
With forgery.
You're such a perfectionist
that your obsession gave you away.
Could a letter from a sick,
hurt girl in her bed be this regular?
Your fake documents, and bank kites,
they're enough to have you jailed
for the rest of your life.
You'll talk, right?
Just make your art talk.
Boris Zaharyas.
You're under arrest
for treason against the state,
for forging documents,
for causing mayhem and murder.
What are you blathering, Cadi Efendi?
Put on the handcuffs.
It's time for you to pay for your sins.
You!
We can deal with this right now,
if you want.
Right away.
Gazanfer, take them out.
-Son!
-My brother.
You were behind every single trouble
that happened to us.
You can't prove anything.
I don't understand
how you can even talk right now.
Take him away.
Not a leaf moves in this city
without my permission, Cadi Efendi.
We'll see.
-Come on, we're going.
-Officers!
Hurry up, come on!
Don't slack, man. Come on.
I told you to hurry, right?
Come on, man.
I'll make all of you pay for this
one by one.
Go.
Father?
Father, where are you going?
Don't worry, my daughter.
Everything will be fine.
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father! Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Mustafa, you and I will overcome hardships
and be happy together.
I'm sure that you'll vindicate yourself.
My heart is beating for you.
Just like yours is beating for me.
Don't forget, we will be happy
at last, Mustafa.
Don't ever feel alone.
You're the only reason
that I'm happy in life.
-I was really hard on you.
-Do you understand?
I learned what love is
thanks to you, Lara.
Don't forget, we will be
happy at last, Mustafa.
Don't ever feel alone.
-I don't care even if death comes next.
-You...
I'm as close to you as your heart.
Whenever you feel alone,
put your hand over your heart.
That is where I will be.
You will never win
unless I give up, Mustafa.
Never!

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
Bala Hatun has been running away
from someone called Emir.
Boris' real name was Emir.
Bala Hatun is here. She'll meet only you.
Wait for me at the Galata Tower tonight.
There's something strange.
They could find another place to attack us
other than the Kuscu Inn.
Also, they attacked with fewer men
this time.
They want to draw us to another place!
They'd go according to their plan
afterwards.
Cadi Efendi.
Run Ali!
Greetings, Yakup.
Yakup.
I'm here.
Cadi Giyaseddin Hatemi!
Do you know how wolves hunt?
First, they separate the prey
from its flock.
As we did to you.
Shall we take you to Bala Hatun,
Cadi Efendi?
-Where's Cadi Efendi?
-He left a while ago.
-Did he say where he went?
-No.
They especially told us not to follow.
Run Ali, run.
-Where did Cadi Efendi go?
-I guess to Galata.
In the name of God!
Bekri. Tell your mortals to come out.
Let's settle the account.
Is that all, Bekri?
In the name of God!
Stop.
Okay.
What? Do you yield, Cadi Efendi?
The Ottoman Empire never yields.
Don't forget that.
Greetings.
Cadi Efendi. We'll talk nicely with you.
Guys. Have you seen a fight
or something around here?
No, chief. We saw no one.
Cemil.
Bekri has done it.
You can't alter the past, Cemil.
But the future is always in your hand.
That's why you should never despair.
Don't twitch your fingers, Cadi Efendi.
No one could find you here,
no matter what they did.
Bekri.
God knows where I am. That suffices.
Don't say what befell me,
say what will become of me.
You know, you were holding me
in your cage.
Now I host you at my place like kings.
We're on the right track this time, Ali.
Have you counted the men we followed,
Mustafa, brother?
That cur will take us to Bekri.
You'll see.
We've busted five ratholes, Mustafa.
-You said each one was it.
-This one's different.
That cur is Bekri's ex-man.
-What do you want, you cursed soul?
-Money!
A little bit of money is all.
I don't have what you want.
Don't you know that?
But not from you.
If it was up to me I'd steer clear of you.
But
you've got powerful enemies.
Why won't they show themselves?
They put you on my tail instead.
They're so naive. Like babies.
They've got pure hands.
They only use likes of me as a tool.
But they forget
that tool might cut a finger
if they're careless.
-Go in.
-Okay. Come on.
They smell like goat.
What's going on?
-I slipped, bro.
-Do be careful.
Cowards die many times
before their deaths, Bekri.
Death is closer to you
than it is to me, Cadi Efendi.
-Where's Cadi Giyaseddin?
-I don't know, chief.
-There's no one here.
-Aren't you working for Bekri?
Look at me. Don't lie in the presence
of this little child.
Or I'll ruin you.
That Bekri almost got me too.
I could barely flee for my life.
You don't know where he is?
There, my child.
I don't.
If you're lying...
I'm damned if I am.
There, my child.
Boris Efendi.
Everyone's looking for Cadi Giyaseddin.
What do we do?
Let them search for some more. We'll wait.
Let the heat get higher.
There's a place we've got to visit.
Come with me.
Come on, my lions.
Let's play in the garden.
The children are devastated.
-Mustafa.
-The investigation is still on.
What if they kill him?
If they do anything to Cadi Efendi
they know they won't make it out alive.
-How can you be so sure?
-I can.
Don't worry.
I'll bring him home safe and sound.
No harm will come to him. I promise.
Istanbul is not big enough
to hide him from me.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
Esat Pasha. How can you say
Cadi Giyaseddin has been kidnapped
in the middle of Dersaadet?
-My Sultan.
-Enough!
Esat Pasha.
Maybe I have imposed a greater burden
than you can shoulder.
The kidnapping of Cadi Giyaseddin
is not a move against Galata
instead it is a move against
the Ottoman Empire.
And I am the object of this.
The world Padishah.
Esat Pasha.
Either solve this matter,
or you'll get out of my sight.
As our Padishah commands.
-Grand Vizier.
-Command me, my Sultan.
You have been granted permission
to leave, Esat Pasha.
Esat Pasha.
You'll call in the army to aid
in your investigations if need be.
You'll search Istanbul
from house to house, one by one.
And you'll find me Cadi Giyaseddin.
As you command, my Sultan.
Guard! Open the door!
Miss Sureyya,
Cadi Giyaseddin has been abducted.
So another woman will be widowed
because of Boris.
Mustafa, this won't work like this.
How?
We have to be patient first.
We should take a deep breath
then we'll put our police force in action.
Wait.
One moment.
The real owners of these streets
are these kids.
They set fire to poor Semsettin's house
yesterday morning.
Did you know that, Giyaseddin?
My God!
What are you talking about, Vahdet Efendi?
Yes. Poor people are left without a house.
He has two babies. Thank God,
there wasn't anyone inside.
May God help him. What a pity.
So, how did it happen?
-Well, no one knows.
You're saying that it happened
in the morning.
How come no one saw it?
We saw it, Master.
Fritter Master Ahmet
by the mosque did it.
Yes, Ahmet did it. He burned down
the house saying "I want my money".
There you go. They have all the news.
They really do. The real owners
of these streets are these kids.
I found it, Ali.
I found who can lead us to the Cadi.
I know who's going to tell us
where Bekri is.
You're the only happy thing in my life.
I learned what love is
thanks to you, Lara.
I don't care even if death comes next.
I loved you.
My heart beats for you.
These bars, these walls,
they don't matter as long
as I am in your heart.
What are we doing here?
Cadi Giyaseddin was abducted.
We should release the porters into the
street so they can gather information.
Then we let the officers...
-What is it to you?
Look around.
Are we officers?
We're porters, son. Porters!
We're not getting involved in this.
Porters will keep doing their job.
-But father...
-There is no but!
Do you think you're the agha
to these porters?
My words are final!
Bowler, they abducted Cadi Giyaseddin.
And is Mustafa in love with you?
If he is, why did he let you have
a close brush with death?
Love is courage, my daughter.
To be able to sacrifice yourself.
To devote yourself to the one you love.
Did he take a bullet to protect you? No.
It is because of him
that you're laid up in this bed.
Because if Mustafa was in love with you,
then he would be lying
in the bed, not you.
You might remain crippled all your life.
He earned your heart
and he took your legs in return.
Enough! Enough!
Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough!
Enough! Enough!
Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough!
-Lara?
Lara!
-Enough!
-Lara, don't!
-Enough! Go away!
Leave me alone! Go away!
Sweetheart.
I don't exist anymore. Do you understand?
Please, go! Get out!
I told you to go away!
Everything will be fine,
my beautiful daughter.
Get the hell out! Leave me alone!
Go! Get out!
Get the hell out!
-Welcome, brothers.
-Thank you.
Cadi Giyaseddin Father,
who took us under his wings and
protected us has been abducted.
-Why would they abduct Giyaseddin Father?
-Giyaseddin Father was abducted?
-How come?
-When?
We're not stealing, spying
or walking around today.
Today, everyone will look
for Giyaseddin Father.
Our station being in the first place,
all the officers in Istanbul
will search for Cadi Efendi.
Whoever took Cadi Efendi
is obviously a professional.
They didn't leave any traces behind.
Any of the bad guys might have
abducted Cadi Efendi.
But our guess is that it is Bekri.
You're going to check every single hole.
You'll peek at every place.
You'll be all ears for any voice.
Whoever finds a hint will find me at once.
You're going to go after all the bad lot.
Bandits like to brag.
Put on your civilian clothing
and spread in the city.
Understood?
God help us.
Let's search everywhere.
Guys.
Bekri and a couple of his main men
are pictured here.
Everyone should take a copy.
Be careful.
-Didn't they tell you that I was coming?
-No one told me anything.
I told them that I would come for sure.
I don't get it.
I told them to tell you.
-I'm worn to the bone.
-I'm so tired.
Yes, tell me. Is there any news
about Cadi Giyaseddin?
-No, we didn't see him.
-We looked everywhere.
Where did Giyaseddin Father go?
Go. We'll search until we find him.
-I'm very tired but I'll keep looking.
-Keep looking!
-We'll find him!
-Come on!
I regarded you as my daughter for years.
I get depressed when I see you like this.
Even if you're not my own blood,
you're a part of my life, Lara.
We'll get through these days together
even if you like it or not.
Put that at the back of your mind,
my beautiful daughter.
Come in.
Minister Efendi.
When did we sell our souls to the devil?
I was a really good soldier, Riza.
I'm looking at what I gained
and what I lost.
I feel like a bug caught up
in a spider web.
When I try to escape,
it wraps me in even more.
A soldier doesn't deserve this.
This can't go on.
Have my coach ready, Riza.
Yes, sir.
You didn't even touch your plate.
There are no hard feelings at the table.
Didn't you like this poor guy's food?
I can have something else
prepared for you, if you want,
your Highness Cadi Efendi!
Bekri.
Whatever your intent is,
you have to act fast.
Don't waste my time.
We're actually a lot like each other.
To tell you the truth, your beard
is longer than my beard.
There's also this.
Neither of us are afraid of death.
Bekri,
in truth, death is the
first step to eternity.
I'm not afraid because I know
what comes after death.
You're not afraid because you
don't know what's after it.
No. No.
You're wrong, Cadi Efendi.
I know that hellhounds are waiting
for me impatiently on the other side.
I'm just postponing my journey to hell.
That's it.
Ignorance.
Mehmet Efendi.
I didn't hear you, Boris Efendi.
Do you see, Weasel? Such a man
that's in love with his job.
Can you call such a man a counterfeiter?
No.
He is an artist.
Your fake documents saved me
from such troubles that...
Lastly, Omer Pasha got in trouble.
Like you ordered.
Did you prepare the last thing I wanted?
I just finished it.
The ink just finished drying.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
Mehmet.
Don't forget this.
I'm smart enough to buy you.
But I'm not foolish enough to trust you.
Just make your art talk.
Don't talk around.
Okay?
The document about Omer Pasha.
What about that?
The document looks legit, my Sultan.
Or...
Or what?
Or it was prepared
with a demonic craftsmanship.
We shouldn't disregard
the evil powers of humans
that believe in Satan,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
You always accuse us, Cadi Efendi.
Take a look at these men.
Which one chose this way willingly?
This is fate, Cadi Efendi! Fate!
Bekri, only unwary people
would see fate responsible
for what happened to them.
God gave us free will
in this world of trial
so we can distinguish coal
from diamond.
We pick between darkness and light.
I love when you speak.
It makes me intoxicated,
your Highness Cadi Efendi.
You speak very well.
I never had teachers like you.
-That's enough.
If I had such teachers, I would go.
You mortal, even an ant could be a teacher
to those who want to find the right way.
Don't forget that.
You're right, your Highness Cadi Efendi.
If I couldn't do it,
that means it's not fated.
We'll see what happens
to you, Mighty Cadi.
Only God knows that.
Are you sure it was Bekri's man you saw?
Chief, I don't know
but I think he looked similar.
Chief, those men were saying
that the Cadi got his dessert.
-You can go. Thank you.
-Okay.
In the name of God.
Let death come from wherever it wants.
Either with prayers
or from a jackal's hand like yours.
If it is our time,
death will be pleasurable for us.
We were having a good conversation,
your Highness Cadi Efendi.
Life is short.
For some people, it's shorter.
As the saying goes.
Angry people hurt themselves.
Why are you getting furious?
Why are you getting into a rage?
Have a little patience.
I'm not getting into a rage, you mortal.
Don't you see?
It's almost past prayer time.
Peace be upon you.
And peace be upon you.
Where's your owner?
Slow down, Filinta Mustafa.
What if I don't?
We don't have anything to do
with Bekri anymore.
You can't get anything here.
Come on, leave us alone now.
Or...
-Or what?
You can only have an effect
as much as yourself.
Cannibal!
If that's what you're saying.
You asked for it.
Filinta Mustafa.
Do your job.
You'll kill him.
You'll kill him. Kill Mustafa.
Kill Mustafa. Do your job.
Kill Mustafa.
Do your job.
I'll kill you if you don't talk.
Where is Bekri?
Chief,
I swear I don't know.
That scumbag didn't give us our money.
We don't work with him anyway!
Mustafa, okay. Calm down.
This bastard doesn't know anything.
I'll deal with you later.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
Come in.
Grand Vizier Efendi, your guests are here.
Don't make our guests wait. Let them in.
We're grateful that you accepted us
in such a short notice,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
You stated that it's an urgent matter.
Have a seat.
I'm listening.
It's about the bank
that the state is going to set up,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
It will be a benefit for Ottomans
to know behind the scenes.
Gulbahar, I'll ask you to do something.
Yes, Boris Efendi.
Take this letter to the
Field Marshal right away.
But this is Lara's handwriting.
Exactly. Right away.
Yes, Boris Efendi.
Did you see that?
Calligrapher Mehmet did a good job.
Even Gulbahar thought
that it's Lara's handwriting.
How dare you come here?
Leave us alone.
This meeting is for your good, Omer.
But it's up to you anyway.
Wait.
Leave us alone.
The thing that will free you
from all your troubles
is in my hands right now, Omer.
As you know, my deceased husband was
one of the richest
and most respected entrepreneurs.
We have information about him.
I'm an Ottoman from birth and I also
grew up here. This is my native land.
That's why the state's bank
concerns me a lot.
Tell me what you know about
the bank, Miss Sureyya.
Before everything, you should know
that Omer Pasha is innocent.
At least about this.
-So...
-I told you that you're innocent.
All those documents about you are fake.
So you're admitting?
I can tell you more.
The man behind this
is Boris Zaharyas.
Boris Zaharyas.
He did everything in order
to set up the bank.
A banker can do anything he can
to set up the state's bank.
If you have any claims
that Boris Efendi did this illegally,
you have to prove it.
It was apparent that scoundrel
Boris Zaharyas was behind this.
It was obvious.
So why are you telling me this?
You're his helper too.
If you had even a little bit of honor,
you would say this in the presence
of our Padishah.
Honor.
Honor, Omer Pasha?
I would. I would say all this
in the presence of our Padishah.
Because I'm so cornered that...
But believe me, I wouldn't do this
for a traitor like yourself.
Traitor? Why are you here then?
Just like I said.
To free you from all your troubles.
I have no proof about Boris Zaharyas.
This is not what I wanted
to talk with you, anyway.
Please go on.
As you know, he doesn't have enough money
to set up a bank.
I would like to set up our state bank
if my Sultan allows me.
Plus, with 30 million gold funding
instead of 12 million gold.
We can set up a much stronger bank
with that amount of money.
Miss Sureyya, money isn't the only
sensitive problem of the state
when it comes to setting up the bank.
But I will take your request
to our Padishah.
Esat Pasha, you came here telling me
that you'll vindicate me...
How many children do you have?
-What?
-Three.
I have three children.
They recently lost their mother.
Yes, I told you that
you're innocent this time.
But you're one of the most corrupt people
this government has ever seen.
-But...
-There's no but, Omer Pasha.
I obtained very interesting documents
from my investigation on you.
Fig, grape and tobacco farms in Mugla
registered in the name
of your brother in law.
Accounts in foreign banks full of money
in your acquaintances' names.
You have been
the Minister of Finance for years.
And you robbed the government
during your duties as a minister.
Where do you come up with this bullshit?
Where do you think
I got all this information?
You can't prove these.
Are you sure?
Believe me, I have sources too.
How much do you want?
I'll give you half of it.
Keep all your property.
I don't care about those.
But maybe you can leave
an honorable death to your family.
Who knows? Maybe they'll be saved
from going on the streets
with no money after you are gone.
Esat.
Pasha.
Like I said.
The thing that will save you
from all your troubles
is in these bullets.
Do what honor requires you to do, Pasha.
Take this.
You have to do this for the
honor of your family.
Let's go, Riza.
Yes, nanny?
This is from Lara.
Maybe you'll trust this
if you didn't trust me the last time.
I had great hopes and I loved you
so much, Mustafa.
It turns out that you
don't deserve any of it.
You're the reason for my situation.
This relationship
should've never happened.
I never want to see you again, Mustafa.
Never.
Lara.
What is that, Mustafa?
Lara.
She's telling me that it's over.
Oh, my Mustafa. The last thing you needed
was to suffer the pangs of love.
What are you looking for, Mustafa?
There's something going on.
I'll find it out.
One should believe in his own lies first.
Or no one would believe you.
I told Cadi Efendi that...
Bala Hatun...
Has been running away from someone
called Emir for years.
Bala Hatun will see only you.
Wait for me by the Galata Tower tonight.
Only you.
What happened? He trusted me.
He came over. Like a toddler!
Enough! Get lost!
-Yes, sir.
Thanks, sir.
Boris.
You called me.
-Yes.
I want you to send a telegram to Mayer.
We need money to set up the bank.
-So?
-So what?
Sureyya took 20 million in gold away
from us because of your clumsiness.
Then, forget both the bank and Mayer.
Don't you...
...talk to me like that!
Never.
The things we go through in life
and the things we're exposed to
may shake us
but that's exactly
where we get our power, right?
Your lover, probably your child's father,
has been killed. Poor guy.
But there's also this.
Your lover wasn't noble.
He was a common officer.
What is your father's attitude going to be
when he finds out you're pregnant
by a man like that?
Everyone deserves to be a mother.
You deserve it too, for sure.
That's why you shouldn't
talk to me like that.
Think about your baby.
What do you want me to do?
Good.
Go to the embassy right away.
Tell Mayer to send 25 million gold
through this bank...
-25 million?
-Yes, Anita.
Yes. 25 million.
Mayer and your father will find the money.
They'll send me that money
if they want Istanbul that much.
That's why your job is easy.
That way, we'll keep
the pregnancy a secret.
Now, 25 million in gold.
I want it right away.
Bekri, it's obvious
that I won't survive this.
Tell me.
I'll learn who's behind this before I die.
I can tell you,
but everything has a time and place.
That's not the way to do it, Bekri.
You wanted to talk.
Did you change your mind?
Okay. Okay. Let's talk.
That's more like it. Sit down.
Those two officers,
Filinta Mustafa, Blade Ali,
are they your pupils, Cadi Efendi?
You need to leave every job
to the professional, Master.
Tell me if you won't be able to do it.
So I know.
Wait, Huseyin Efendi.
Don't confuse my simple mind.
This is the right move, Master.
Well done, Mustafa Efendi. Thank you.
Bravo.
Huseyin Efendi, we look but they see.
Wisdom doesn't come with age.
With God's help,
my sons will find me, Bekri.
You know that.
Those two pupils of yours,
slaughtered my blood, my life,
my brother, in front of my eyes.
Bekri.
People do evil not because
they have strong ambitions
but because they have a weak conscience.
If your intent is to kill me in return
for your brother, draw the gun.
I won't even bat an eye.
But,
if your intent is to kill my sons,
I will never let you do that,
don't forget it.
Don't lie to me with your
"my brother was innocent" bullshit.
Your brother knew that
and you know it as well.
If you run in the dark, you'll fall down.
Cadi Efendi, you have a way with words.
We'll see who falls down first!
Slow down, slow down.
What's going on?
-Come over to our place, my chief.
Let's go.
Esat Pasha!
Welcome.
What can I do for you?
Omer Pasha committed suicide.
What are you saying?
So they couldn't get his service pistol.
Poor guy.
Sure, he couldn't stomach it.
-I convinced him.
What? How?
What did you say?
I washed all his dirty linen in public.
He didn't have much choice.
Esat Pasha.
I discovered your talent the first day.
You're getting better every day.
Good.
But I'm thinking that you're not here
to give me this news.
No. The news would get to you anyway.
I want something else.
What is it?
Where is Cadi Giyaseddin?
Cadi Giyaseddin?
I know that you abducted him.
No one else is strong enough for this.
If I can't bring the Cadi
to the Padishah safe and sound,
my duty as Minister of Internal Affairs
will be in jeopardy.
Our ruse too.
You have the right to make
the final decision of course.
As I said, you get better every day.
Very smart.
Giyaseddin would be my gift to you anyway.
By saving him, you'll have more dignity
in the eyes of the Padishah.
You'll be a hero.
Just like I thought.
Sure, Esat Pasha. Sure.
Giyaseddin is in Kasim Street in Tophane.
By the way,
if you raid that place,
don't let anyone but Giyaseddin survive.
I understand, Boris Efendi.
Welcome, my chief.
-Welcome, my chief.
-What's the situation?
I think we've found the bandits' den
this time.
Where's Cadi Giyaseddin?
He's in Tophane. In Kasim Street.
Well done.
Give me that.
Never steal from anyone else again. Okay?
Wouldn't we give
you what you want?
Here.
Go and eat with your friends.
Thank you, my chief.
Come on, let's get something to eat.
Bekri, you always make the same mistakes.
What are those?
This man that's using you,
he's no good at anything
but getting you into trouble.
I said that you have a way with words,
okay, but you speak a lot, Cadi.
You're speaking nonsense.
But I speak the truth, Bekri.
You know that as well.
If you kill me,
all of your ways out
will be blocked, Bekri.
You know that this man
won't leave any witnesses behind.
I'm your last chance, Bekri.
Speak so I can save you, Bekri.
Look at me.
Who's behind this? Tell me.
Tell me, come on. Confess to me,
so I can do whatever I can to forgive you.
How's that going to work?
Tell me his name
and I will save your life.
What are you going to say?
The man whose daughter I kidnapped
and almost killed
hired me to do banditry in Istanbul.
Is that what you are going to say?
Who would believe you?
No one would believe me
even if I told you now.
They would make me kiss
the gallows soon.
You won't be executed because of me
but soon you'll get shot
in the back, Bekri.
You have no other option but to trust me.
Bekri, whether you go to the mountains
or stay in Istanbul
you have no way out.
You know way too much.
They won't let you live, man.
Talking is for your own good, Bekri.
Stop!
How did you find this place?
-What is it to you, scumbag?
We're raiding this place. Go away.
Try and stop me.
Go to the back door. You'll raid the place
when the firing starts. Go on.
There are at least 20 bandits inside.
-It's 21 with you.
You've always been a coward, Riza.
Don't look at me like that.
Let's go, then. Like the old days.
If this is another setup
and Cadi Efendi gets hurt
I won't let you live, Riza.
Even if I take you out of here,
where would we go, Cadi Efendi?
That's easy. Leave it to me.
The name.
If you betray us, I'll make you eat this.
It's a raid!
Soldiers, come in!
Show no mercy to anyone!
I'll find you later.
Son, for the first time I am not happy
for you to arrive right on time.
Don't miss Bekri.
-Master.
I'm okay. Go!
Stop!
It's the end of the road, Bekri.
Let's go!
We have to go!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Once again you escaped, Bekri.
You ran a lot.
Go to Cadi Efendi. I can't trust anyone.
I'll take him to Abdullah.
You didn't leave any witnesses behind
once more, Riza.
These are bandits, Cadi Efendi.
They don't understand
laying down their guns.
What happened to Bekri?
The bastard got away again.
Don't worry. We'll catch that dog
sooner or later.
Let me introduce you.
Our bandit, Bekri.
Don't get too close. He's like a snake.
You couldn't trust anyone from the station
so you brought him here?
Exactly.
Aunt Ayse, Cadi Giyaseddin was saved.
Don't worry.
He should be at the station now.
Thank God.
In the name of God.
Thank God.
Why aren't we going to
Abdullah's store, Cadi Efendi?
We can make Bekri talk there.
Let's act like everything is in order
instead of making suspicious moves.
Bekri is in good hands anyway.
In the name of God.
-Mr. Cadi!
-My cherub Cadi! Cherub!
-Okay. Okay.
-Cadi Giyaseddin.
-Yes?
Father, where have you been?
We were worrying for days. We were scared.
You don't listen to us. You go outside
by yourself and made us very worried.
Yes. I was scared out of my mind.
-Get better soon.
-Thank you.
But do you have the right
to do this to this guy?
Do you know what he's been through
while you were gone?
Only me and God knows that.
I mean, your Honor Cadi Efendi.
Your Honor.
We will ask you to
not to ever do such a thing.
Yes, sir. The whole nation
needs you, please.
Okay. Okay.
Don't be afraid.
You're right, mortals.
I trusted a mortal way too much
and I was deceived.
I'll be sure to let you know next time.
Thank you.
Let's not push it too much
because we said what needed to be said.
We should go.
-I think so. He looks very tired anyway.
We'll talk with him later. Okay.
Run!
What a laugh.
God bless these two with a long life.
-Amen.
If it weren't for them,
we'd never be smiling.
Weasel.
Weasel.
Does it really hurt so much?
I'm wondering.
Pull the knife out, Azize.
You're acting like a child.
You should try to man up a little.
Pull out the knife already!
There's something else
that's bothering you.
Don't worry about it,
in the midst of all these troubles.
Tell me.
Lara sent this to me.
"I want to leave you."
Take a look at this.
That's an article she wrote
for the foundation.
They both have the same writing.
Mustafa.
You're so smart.
I just finished it.
The ink is just now dry.
You're the only happy thing in my life.
I learned what love is
thanks to you, Lara.
Love is to be able to love
despite all hardships.
I don't care even if death comes next.
And is Mustafa in love with you?
I loved you.
My heart is beating for you.
If he is, why did he leave you
to have a close brush with death?
These bars, these walls,
they don't matter as long
as I am in your heart.
Love is courage, my daughter.
To be able to sacrifice yourself.
To devote yourself to the one you love.
Did he take a bullet to protect you? No.
It is because of him
that you're laid up in this bed.
Because if Mustafa was in love with you,
then he would be lying in the bed,
not you.
You might remain crippled all your life.
He doesn't love you, understand this.
He earned your heart and
he took your legs in return.
You'll stand up, my daughter.
Stronger than before and more ruthless.
The letters are the same but...
But the ghayn and ayn letters
are a little taller.
The letters are the same,
but they're too neat.
So?
So, a hurt girl wouldn't write
such a standard letter.
Lara didn't write this letter.
But I can guess who wrote it, Mustafa.
Esat Pasha, I practically handed you the
guy but you were capable of missing him.
Whatever, my men will go after him.
There's something else, Boris Efendi.
Sureyya.
Miss Sureyya, I thought
that you went to see the Grand Vizier
not to set up the bank
but to talk about Boris Zaharyas.
If I talked to him about Boris Zaharyas,
what would the Grand Vizier,
who is a real statesman, say?
He would say that they can't hear a case
based only on opinions
and that they need my proofs
and witnesses.
But we don't have any proof
on Boris Zaharyas.
But, we have power and money.
That is what we'll use against him.
In the first step, we will weaken Boris.
So, Sureyya talked to the Grand Vizier
to set up the bank.
What is the Padishah
going to say about this?
So this woman called Sureyya
wants to invest 30 million in gold
to set up the bank.
That's right, my Sultan.
She has enough assets to do this.
Then who is Miss Sureyya?
She is the widow of one of the
richest men in the world.
All of her husband's assets
passed down to Miss Sureyya.
That's not what I'm asking,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
I understand that she has assets.
I want to know her intentions.
They'll be more careful about the bank
after Omer Pasha's suicide.
This is good for us.
Omer Pasha's suicide
will be really beneficial for us.
All the countries are aware
that Ottoman will set up a bank.
In this situation, the Padishah
has to decide quickly.
Padishah's work is unfathomable,
Boris Efendi.
We shouldn't let our guards down anyway.
We don't have any more time to lose.
This bank will be set up,
Grand Vizier Efendi.
This bank will be set up.
But with whom?
How is he?
He's okay.
He'll be on his feet soon.
-Yes?
I can get up.
Lie down. Lie down.
I need him up as soon as possible.
-Peace be upon you.
-And peace be upon you.
Mustafa.
Is this our new prison?
Magnificent. It is full of books.
If all the prisons are like this,
there would be
an abundance of wise people in Istanbul,
your Honor Cadi Efendi!
Untie him, Mustafa. Untie him.
Don't talk so much.
The problem is not being wise, Bekri.
The problem is being nothing
and getting carried away.
Let's get to the main problem.
The man you protected deceived you again.
He also tried to kill you.
Now, give me what I want,
and I'll give you the rest of your life.
If you don't tell us who hired you...
Boris Zaharyas.
What?
You heard right, Cadi Efendi.
Boris Zaharyas is behind
all the crimes in Istanbul.
We've worked so hard but
we'll finally set up the bank.
Mr. Boris Zaharyas was going to
set up his bank beautifully
and count his money
while I was causing disarray in Istanbul.
While Filinta Mustafa
and his Highness Cadi Giyaseddin Hatemi
was coming after me,
he was going to play his tricks.
I want you to turn the streets
of Istanbul upside down.
You'll create trouble every day.
That way, Cadi Giyaseddin and Mustafa
will be too busy to lift their heads
to mess with me.
Anything else?
There's nothing else. Wait for my word.
What?
What happened?
Were you planning to leave Istanbul?
What's more, I'm leaving
Istanbul tomorrow.
Anita, we're in this together.
Did you think I would give you up
so easily?
You got the money.
You don't need me anymore.
Don't dare to tell me what I need.
You are going to stay in Istanbul.
Think about your baby if you aren't
thinking for your own sake.
Long journeys wouldn't
be good for him. Right?
Boris Zaharyas.
The man whose daughter you kidnapped
and asked for ransom.
The man whose daughter you shot.
So he hired you?
If I give them your name,
what will happen then?
What are you going to say?
The man whose daughter I kidnapped
and almost killed
hired me to do banditry in Istanbul.
Is that what you are going to say?
Who would believe you?
I told you that you wouldn't
believe me, Cadi Efendi.
What I'm saying is groundbreaking.
On the contrary, I believe you, Bekri.
But be careful with that man.
Satan has his headquarters
based in that man's mind.
He does all kind of dirty work.
Abducting people,
gathering men from the mountains,
fake documents.
Wait.
What the hell did you say?
Lara didn't write these letters.
But I can guess who wrote it, Mustafa.
We have to talk.
You could've been
a very good calligrapher.
But you didn't stick to your masters' webs
and you ruined yourself.
With forgery.
You're such a perfectionist
that your obsession gave you away.
Could a letter from a sick,
hurt girl in her bed be this regular?
Your fake documents, and bank kites,
they're enough to have you jailed
for the rest of your life.
You'll talk, right?
Just make your art talk.
Boris Zaharyas.
You're under arrest
for treason against the state,
for forging documents,
for causing mayhem and murder.
What are you blathering, Cadi Efendi?
Put on the handcuffs.
It's time for you to pay for your sins.
You!
We can deal with this right now,
if you want.
Right away.
Gazanfer, take them out.
-Son!
-My brother.
You were behind every single trouble
that happened to us.
You can't prove anything.
I don't understand
how you can even talk right now.
Take him away.
Not a leaf moves in this city
without my permission, Cadi Efendi.
We'll see.
-Come on, we're going.
-Officers!
Hurry up, come on!
Don't slack, man. Come on.
I told you to hurry, right?
Come on, man.
I'll make all of you pay for this
one by one.
Go.
Father?
Father, where are you going?
Don't worry, my daughter.
Everything will be fine.
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father! Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Father!
Mustafa, you and I will overcome hardships
and be happy together.
I'm sure that you'll vindicate yourself.
My heart is beating for you.
Just like yours is beating for me.
Don't forget, we will be happy
at last, Mustafa.
Don't ever feel alone.
You're the only reason
that I'm happy in life.
-I was really hard on you.
-Do you understand?
I learned what love is
thanks to you, Lara.
Don't forget, we will be
happy at last, Mustafa.
Don't ever feel alone.
-I don't care even if death comes next.
-You...
I'm as close to you as your heart.
Whenever you feel alone,
put your hand over your heart.
That is where I will be.
You will never win
unless I give up, Mustafa.
Never!
