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
Is it your first time in Istanbul, aunt?
No. I came 27 years ago.
Are you okay, aunt?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Come over to our house
if you don't have anywhere to go.
I have a place to go.
Thank you, my dear girl.
We traveled together for many days.
We hold a bond of the road.
You didn't even give me your name, aunt.
I have nothing to be scared of anymore.
My name is Bala Hatun.
So why did you do this to me?
You're a mistake. You're my illegitimate child.
After I kill you, in this order
I will kill your son, your bride
and your little grandchild.
If that's the case
I will be the only one
-that lives from your lineage.
-Don't!
What's happening?
Is Boris Zaharyas leaving
without even saying goodbye?
That's not the case at all.
I'm thankful for your hospitality.
Are you really thankful?
There's not a single thing
I can't explain...
...and I never remain indebted.
So, Sureyya, I won't forget this.
I should've done this before.
It was written to be done today.
Field Marshal Mustafa...
...in result of your decisions and success
my final decision is clear.
Your condemnation of death that's been
decided by Cadi Giyaseddin Hatemi...
...has been lifted.
My Hodja!
Many thanks to God.
My Hodja, get up.
You've been freed from your burden.
We've reached this happy day
thanks to God's divinity
and your decisions, my Sultan. Thank God.
There isn't a single human in the world
that doesn't go through troubles.
If there is, he's not a human.
You passed this test,
Field Marshal Mustafa.
The sagacity you showed...
...has been an unforgettable lesson
of dignity and justice
to the whole Ottoman nation.
Our Prophet Efendi says that...
"The heart gets sorrowful
and the eye gets watery."
Raise your head, lad!
Keep your head up all the time.
Blade Ali
and Field Marshal Mustafa.
I have very important plans for you.
My Sultan...
I'm grateful to you for pardoning me, but...
But?
I would like to be tried again
in front of everyone
and prove my innocence there.
You don't want to be pardoned
but you want to be vindicated.
The Ottoman Empire's...
base emotions are honor and morals.
This nation and civilization
will rise on these emotions.
Yes?
I'm sorry for disturbing you
but I was going to have a request.
I used to live here years ago.
You're...
...Bala Hatun!
The woman you talked to at the station...
She tried to kill our Padishah Efendi.
Please excuse my confusion
but I have to ask this.
Cadi Efendi, how is that possible? How?
His Highness Padishah is one
of the most protected people on earth.
Being able to get very close to him
in this situation...
Facing death and daring to attack
His Majesty...
How does that happen?
This woman, Emine Hatun,
how do you know her?
Know her? Where did you
come up with that?
It was my first and last time
seeing that woman at the station.
Cadi Efendi, I hope that
you're not thinking
that I have anything to do
with this woman.
If that's what you're thinking,
that means you're suspecting me
for the assassination
of our Padishah.
Boris Efendi, it's correct
that I have suspicions about you
but trying to kill our Padishah Efendi...
That's not one of the suspicions
I have about you.
At least I'm happy to hear that much.
I hope that you're not overseeing this.
This woman...
Emine Hatun, right?
She especially wanted to be with me
in your presence.
As you command, Boris Efendi.
You wanted to be seen with me because
you want to uncover our relation.
But why?
She came out of nowhere.
She asked me silly questions.
-For example?
-My name. Then about the bank.
For example, she congratulated me
for setting up the bank.
My God.
Look, we set up this bank.
But financial power alone
is not enough for it.
You also need to have courage.
Foreign countries did whatever they can
to stop the setting up of this bank.
Maybe you're not aware but I tried
to resist all this as much as I could.
I mean that we have a lot of enemies.
They tried to take me down
as well as our Padishah.
I mean that I'm just another victim
of this big set up.
Boris Efendi...
...I would've never guessed
that I would say this one day
but I believe that
you're telling the truth.
Cadi Efendi, we have to be
able to fight together
against the enemies of the Ottoman Empire
or else we will be crushed.
-So you came back.
-How do you know me?
We've been waiting for you for years,
Bala Hatun.
You have really important
and powerful enemies.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. Don't worry.
Fortunately, you have friends too,
as well as enemies.
-They'll be really happy to see you.
-Who are they?
Miss Sureyya.
We'll go to her soon.
Let's have a rest first.
You look tired.
What's going on?
We'll talk.
Let's eat first.
Faris Efendi was my father.
Did you know that?
I've been called an illegitimate son.
You knew that.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Good.
-What do you want?
-To eat.
I've never seen such a dinner table.
As I said, we're half-brothers.
I'd never do anything to you.
So I have a nephew!
I wanted to congratulate you
and meet him.
Our coffee is bitter but tasty,
Bala Hatun.
By the way
what brings you back to the place
you disappeared from years ago?
I hid something over there years ago.
It's time.
What was hidden will be unearthed now.
What is it?
Something that will ruin the demon
who is after me.
If you're waiting for Faris Efendi
he won't be able to make it.
His men either.
I was just with them.
He's my father after all.
I had to see him first.
It's out of respect.
But don't worry.
After all he did to me for years
his death was quick and clean.
I'm a slave that was tortured for years
and you are a spoiled prince.
Whereas, we were both his sons.
Take whatever you want and go.
Oh, my dear brother.
I wish it were only about money.
We're brothers after all.
We could've taken care of it
somehow, right?
But I want revenge.
You said you wouldn't harm us!
Is that so?
I lied.
You were raised like a sissy, my brother.
What's that thing
that's going to ruin Boris?
I didn't say Boris.
How did you understand?
-You...
-It's nothing personal.
Let's just say that Boris paid more.
Coffee.
The coffee is poisonous.
Boris will give me a lot of money
when he hears that you're dead.
Then it will be Sureyya's turn.
The big game starts.
It's your turn.
Please show mercy to my baby.
No one showed mercy to me.
Bala Hatun, run!
No one can run away from me.
Your son will come after you,
don't worry.
I knew Boris before you.
He taught me not to trust anyone.
Our coffee is bitter but tasty,
Bala Hatun.
I'm sorry. Can I get a glass of water?
I knew Boris before you.
He taught me not to trust anyone.
You learned that too
but it was a little late for you.
One day, everything will see
the light of day with these.
Bala Hatun, open the door!
Bala Hatun!
Bala Hatun...
...give me the kid
and I'll spare your life.
Bala Hatun!
I'll find you wherever you are, son.
The neighbors found them like this,
my chief.
Poor woman.
I think she was poisoned.
She knew the person
she was sitting down with.
Take this to Abdullah.
Have him analyze it.
Whoever this person is
they killed the poor woman
by poisoning her, Mustafa.
Someone was hiding something here.
Nahide, for example.
She's not as innocent as she looks.
Sometimes nothing is what it looks like.
Whoever Nahide was sitting with,
whoever she made the coffee for...
They succeeded in being a hunter
while they were the prey.
So Nahide hoisted with her own petard.
She was poisoned when
she was trying to poison someone.
-Who's that woman?
-This is Nahide.
She's someone that I settled
in the neighborhood years ago.
She lets me know whoever comes
looking for Bala Hatun.
Once someone is sold, Ali,
everyone can hire that person.
You just need to raise the price.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
I talked to Boris Zaharyas as needed.
Him being seen with Emine Hatun
who tried to kill you
was against his will.
The woman got together with Boris Zaharyas
by the order of her conspiracy partners.
God knows
it is a conspiracy to raise suspicions
about Boris Zaharyas.
I think the same.
Killing the man who's sitting
on top of the Ottoman Empire's property
let alone Boris Zaharyas' power,
it even exceeds his imagination, my Hodja.
We know who's behind this, right?
Some people got uncomfortable
because of what we did recently.
I consulted this with you before.
I'll tell you briefly, Master.
We've actually come to the end of an era
rather than the end of a century.
Our efforts in the last 200 years
were to make our state powerful again
with all its organs.
But we lost a lot of time.
During this time we lost,
the infidels made a lot of progress.
We need time to be able to catch up
with them.
During that time we catch up with them,
we have to run.
You'll ask me where this progress
brought the infidels?
You know the answer better than me.
They're bleeding nations dry
that live under them.
They're doing things
that will jeopardize all humanity,
for their daily needs.
They're also trying to take over us.
That's what we'll take advantage of.
I mean that we'll benefit from
their ambition and arrogance.
Hopefully.
And we'll set these bloodsuckers
against each other.
Hopefully.
Lara Zaharyas?
POST OFFICE
-Miss Azize?
-What a surprise!
I know that we had
a lot of conflict between us
but I wanted to tell you I'm sorry
for what you've been through.
After all, we both suffer
the same fate.
We've been deceived by the same guy.
-Are you here to send a letter too?
-Yes.
I sent letters to my nanny Gulbahar's
relatives.
I'm here to send letters, too.
We can talk it over with a coffee
if you'd like.
I knew Nahide for a long time.
I received the bad news
before you arrived.
I'm really sorry.
Did you know her well?
-What?
-Look, Miss Surreya.
Whoever Ms. Nahide was sitting with,
whoever she made the coffee for...
...they were able to be the hunter
while they were the prey.
So, Nahide got hit by her own petard.
So she kept a foot in both camps
for all these years.
She was poisoned while
she was trying to poison someone.
She's dead.
She couldn't complete her mission.
Does that mean that the person
you were waiting for returned to Istanbul?
Bala Hatun. She came back.
Miss Sureyya.
It's time to tell us what you know.
Or this situation will strangle us all.
Just so you know.
Don't worry about me right now.
What you need to do right away is...
...find Bala Hatun.
Bring me that woman, Weasel.
Yes, sir. But...
We don't know her appearance at all.
Yes. That's why...
You have to investigate
where she's been before.
The place where she dropped me off.
In front of the Kulliye.
Ali.
Have a good day.
You too.
Oh my God.
God bless you.
Okay.
Yes, nurse?
A baby was dropped off here years ago.
Do you know how many babies
are dropped off here every year?
This baby had a clock on him.
Exactly 27 years ago.
If you were the one
that dropped the baby off
why did you come
looking for him now, nurse?
Did your conscience take 27 years off
and started working now?
See, it's not what you think.
It's really important.
It's a matter of life and death.
I'm not that old here.
-But...
-But?
But there was a young man on duty here
back then.
He used to deal with the kids.
If you find him...
...he might be able to help you.
-His name was Giyaseddin.
-Thank you.
Thank you very much.
How can I find him?
There's no one that doesn't know
Giyaseddin Efendi in Istanbul, nurse.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
No one could get away from you easily,
Boris Efendi. Who's this woman?
This woman...
This woman, Esat Pasha...
We could definitely call this woman
the exception of my life.
I've never chased anyone else that much.
Can I make myself clear?
Her name's Bala Hatun.
She should be in her sixties right now.
So you're expecting me to send
the whole army after a woman.
Yes, Esat Pasha.
Only the ones you trust the most.
We don't want it to spread.
You want us to find a woman
that we only know by name, Bala Hatun
and bring her to you.
Yes, Esat Pasha. Yes.
And hopefully you'll find her
before it's too late and bring her to me.
Is there anything I left out?
Good.
Do you remember what I asked you
the first time we met here?
Mustafa and Ali are after Bala Hatun
as well, Riza.
Let's see if you show the capability
of finding her before them.
We'll find that woman, Mustafa.
We'll find her.
If she stays alive.
Greetings, uncle.
Greetings.
Yes, lads? What do you want?
We're looking for a woman.
We thought that she might have come here.
This woman is looking for a baby
that was left in front of
this Kulliye 27 years ago.
A baby was dropped off here years ago.
This baby had a clock on him.
Exactly 27 years ago.
What makes Sureyya think
that she's trying to find you?
The woman's after me, Ali.
There isn't another explanation.
She trusts no one.
If she knew where you are,
she would come and find you.
Today, everyone's looking for Bala Hatun
in Istanbul but she's after me.
It's like your looks are hiding something
from me, uncle.
Your eyes are giving you away
as a scoundrel, but...
Go away!
I can tell. You talked to her.
But you won't be able to talk anymore.
Take your most trusted men with you
and find this Bala Hatun.
-Then I'll take her to Boris Efendi.
-No!
You'll bring her to me.
Let's find out who this woman is
that scares Boris Zaharyas.
What's she made of?
I'll meet her first.
Yes, Minister Efendi.
They knew that we were coming.
He was killed so he couldn't talk.
Our idea of starting with the Kulliye
was on point.
It's obvious. Bala Hatun was here.
They're trying to act faster than us
to block us from finding her, Mustafa.
I heard what happened to you.
You were shot. Get well soon.
-Thank you.
-How do you feel now?
A little tired
-cheated on.
-Cheated?
Miss Azize, there are hundreds
of scums in this world
that are willing to abuse people.
Tell me about it!
Field Marshal Mustafa.
Handsome and skillful.
He was whispering
love words to me on the one hand,
and trying to win your heart
on the other hand.
Men, dear.
There isn't a single lie they wouldn't say
in order to get what they want.
I know very well where to find you.
Boris Efendi.
-Sureyya.
-Are you calling Esat Pasha for help?
The weather is great, isn't it?
For some people.
You hired Nahide.
I did.
Poor idiot.
She tried to do it on her own
instead of letting me know.
Why does Bala Hatun scare you so much?
Scare me?
Bala Hatun doesn't scare me.
Bala Hatun is an old friend.
I just want to take a trip down
memory lane with her.
I care about old friends.
You know that the best.
Don't forget this, Boris Zaharyas.
You won't win this game
of running away and chasing.
I'll find Bala Hatun before you.
Little Sureyya...
...this game is way too big for you.
On top of that, if we consider
the mistakes you made
and your shortcomings
since you came to Istanbul
it's also really dangerous.
Be careful when you're running around
in Istanbul's streets.
You might fall and we wouldn't want you
to get hurt.
I'll refresh your memory if you want.
This little Sureyya, instead of
blocking you from setting up a bank
is personally a partner of it.
I can anticipate your every move.
I wouldn't be offending my partner
if I were you.
You might regret it later.
Regret?
Regret is only pitifulness
that's only felt by weak people.
I never needed excuses and what ifs.
Enjoy the weather.
That woman must be found at whatever cost.
Riza Efendi, how will we find this woman?
I have an idea.
Hang on.
Hang on, I'm almost there.
So, they killed Eyup Efendi.
He was a very good person.
God rest his soul.
Amen.
These damned people are always
a step ahead of us
and they're doing whatever they can
so we can't catch up with them.
And they're not abstaining from killing
to do that.
If these murderers
find Bala Hatun before us
we'll lose the only key to the story.
She's looking for you
and we're looking for her.
We have to find and help her
before bloody hands get to her.
Bala Hatun went to the house
she used to stay as her first stop.
I used to live here years ago.
Boris will give me a lot of money
when he hears that you're dead.
He taught me not to trust anyone.
Then she went to the place
she dropped Mustafa off.
A baby was dropped off here years ago.
Exactly 27 years ago.
I'm not that old here.
But there was a young man on duty here
back then.
He used to deal with the kids.
His name was Giyaseddin.
That woman needs to find you first
in order to be able to find me.
Be careful, my sons.
This woman's been fleeing death
for 27 years.
She doesn't trust a single human on earth
to be able to stay alive.
Go to my house right away, my sons. Go on.
Come on inside.
Thank you for not refusing us
and coming here, Boris Efendi.
Emine Hatun that
tried to kill the Padishah...
Nothing can be proven about my relation.
But Cadi Efendi still interrogated you
this morning about this matter.
Why are you so surprised?
We have men in the Ottoman Empire as well.
What did you talk with Cadi Efendi?
I'd be in the dungeons if he thought
that I have anything to do
with the assassination.
Boris Efendi
we have really big plans about
the Ottoman Empire
and you're putting us in danger
with every step you take.
Is that so?
If you're following
my every step carefully
why didn't you warn me about the trap
the English set up for me?
Yes. I also have men among the Germans.
This bank we set up is our biggest force
against the Ottoman Empire.
The bank I set up.
You did nothing else but slow me down
with your incapability.
The past is the past.
We have to look forward
in a friendly manner now.
I needed a friend on my back
to be able to look forward
and I thought that your country
was my friend but you...
You disappointed me, dear Ambassador.
We only did what we had to do.
You did nothing but to watch me go down.
Now you're talking about friendship.
Of course, I might think about
joining forces with Germany but...
...friendship is a mutual concept.
And if you try to set me up once more
you'll bear the consequences.
And you, Anita.
I started having deep feelings about you.
Don't even dare to call me here anymore.
Does Giyaseddin Efendi live here?
Yes. Do you have a question?
The one that worked
in the Yusuf Efendi Kulliye 27 years ago?
That's correct.
Oh, thank God!
Are you okay?
Here, come in.
Stop!
You'll bring her to me.
Let's find out who this woman is...
...that scares Boris Zaharyas.
I'll meet her first.
You're Bala Hatun, right?
Who dropped off this box?
-Did you see who got in the coach?
-I didn't, sir.
Of course you didn't.
You didn't.
They're invisible.
How dare you come to this house?
Aunt Ayse?
Don't pronounce my name
with your filthy mouth.
Bala Hatun, you're coming with us.
That woman is searching Giyaseddin Efendi.
From now on, this matter
concerns the police.
Don't get involved.
Mother, what's happening?
Ayse...
...Hatun.
Let's not make a scene here.
What do you say to that?
That woman is suspected of murder.
And she's wanted in the name of law.
Don't worry, my beautiful daughter.
Don't worry.
I'll tell Giyaseddin Efendi
that you were here.
Sure, tell him. Tell him.
After all, even we can't do anything
if she gets shot
while she's trying to run away.
Who's that woman, mother?
Miss Azize, I'm glad that I ran into you.
I haven't laughed this much
in a long time.
Then we should thank Mustafa.
We're friends thanks to him.
I was so happy that I was able to
make your beautiful face smile.
Sadness doesn't look good at all
on those beautiful eyes of yours.
I just can't believe I was so blind.
Lara, of course there are a lot of people
that would like to use someone
of such family, influence and wealth.
How strange.
My father said the same thing.
See, you're finally healthy again.
You're young, beautiful and smart.
Plus, all the handsome guys in Istanbul
would be on your doorstep
with a single wave of your hand.
Miss Azize, I'll tell you something.
Would you like to dine together
at our place tonight?
-What do you think?
-But, I mean...
I won't take no for an answer.
Okay, if you say so.
-Who is it?
-It's us, Aunt.
What gives, Aunt? Did something happen?
Riza. He took someone called Bala Hatun.
What?
Don't leave the house.
Don't open the door
to anyone but us, Aunt. Okay?
Maybe you won't believe me
but I'm actually a great officer,
Bala Hatun.
See? I found a woman
that's been wanted for 27 years
with the snap of a finger.
I can tell. You're also the dog
of that man known as Boris.
You'll find out about my owner
when we get to the door we belong
-Bala Hatun.
-Lookie here!
Such an inconvenience we caused!
We'll take it from here, Riza Efendi.
You can...
Get away from here.
Minister Efendi ordered. Go!
That minister of yours...
Don't forget who he takes his orders from.
Move!
Go away with your consent, Riza.
That fits well.
Go on.
You can't take this woman from us.
Now get away from here!
Get away!
Bala Hatun.
We were raided.
Where's Bala Hatun?
She got away.
Riza
I'm wondering which of our sins
led God to curse us with your presence.
Couldn't you recognize me?
You dropped me off
in front of the Kulliye 27 years ago.
Do you remember this?
You...
My son!
See, we've met again after years.
You don't need to run away
from Boris anymore.
I'm here.
We won't be separated ever again.
Which way did she go?
Where did she go?
Ali!
God damn it!
I'd know my child from his smell.
Whoever you are,
don't ever confront me again!
I'll kill you!
So you let her slip through your fingers?
If Boris Efendi's men weren't there,
she would be in your presence right now.
If Boris Zaharyas' men can risk
clashing with officers
that woman must be really important.
Boris Efendi...
Boris Efendi's men
killed the state's officers.
Now he has to answer to me.
Find Bala Hatun meanwhile.
-You can go.
-Yes, Minister Efendi.
What is it again, Riza?
You...
Bala Hatun got away from Riza
and disappeared, madam.
Our men can't find her either.
It fell to my lot.
What should we do, madam?
We'll join the search.
You're really surprised, Esat Pasha.
I came back from death.
My Azize!
Thank God.
I thought that I'd never see you again.
I have a new mission now.
Do you see that, Azize?
We've had too many troubles.
You came back from death
and I ended up in a dungeon.
-I did everything you asked.
-I know.
That's why you're able to breathe
in front of me.
You're free now but our cooperation
will go on for sure.
-What do you want me to do?
-Good.
What do I want you to do?
Unfortunately, Lara's nanny Gulbahar
had to leave us.
I need someone to accompany her
and to look after her.
And that will be me.
Bravo.
And you'll protect her
from that fool Mustafa.
I'm okay for anything
but I really don't think
that Mustafa is a fool.
Someone that values their enemy.
Look, Cemil. I always make this mistake.
Good luck.
So Lara Zaharyas is under your wings
from now on.
Good.
Very good.
Everyone in Istanbul
is looking for Bala Hatun
but she's looking for Mustafa.
She must have understood
that she can't trust anyone by now.
A woman who's been on the run
for 27 years
would know that she can't trust anyone.
The matter is that we have to find her.
We'll find Bala Hatun according to
the description we have of her.
We won't sleep until we find Bala Hatun!
I went to Aunt Ayse first.
We specified her description with her.
By the way,
this is my new invention
called Speedy Abdullah.
Maybe they could name it differently
in the future but that's the name for now.
We can use this machine to make copies
of Bala Hatun's picture
whose appearance we have already drawn.
I can do it.
Ali, please don't jam it.
Give that appearance only to officers
we can trust.
We have to be the first ones
to find Bala Hatun.
Come on, you can do it now.
Fortunately, the wound isn't too deep.
I've seen worse.
You'll live, chief.
Garbis, don't be silly.
We'll find Bala Hatun at all costs.
We'll burn all of Istanbul's streets
if we have to.
I checked your notebooks.
You're evading your taxes.
How did you come up with that, Fatih?
You can lie but numbers don't lie.
I mean, maybe this much.
This much.
Let's say this much.
That's how many taxes you're evading
from the state.
Fatih, my brother...
Listen to what Fatih says, anyway.
They'll scar you badly.
Everyone that ever cheated the state...
...ended up poorly.
You'll be baffled. Which you are, anyway.
But Fatih's calculations
never get baffled.
My God.
My God.
-Welcome, Abdullah Efendi.
-Thank you, Fatih.
What does our state order this time?
The state never lacks business.
You look a little tired.
Let's get some fresh air if you'd like.
We could chat.
Okay.
You're searching this woman...
...and you want me to ask
shopkeepers.
Exactly.
All of Istanbul's inputs and outputs
pass by you every day.
If you find traces of this woman...
...you can contact me,
my Mustafa or my Ali.
Consider it done, Abdullah Efendi.
By the way, don't forget this.
Show that picture
only to people you trust.
Don't have any doubts about that.
Sometimes I think...
...who knows what I could do
if I had your intelligence and capability?
Don't exaggerate, Abdullah Efendi.
Human kind stops at nothing
as long as they believe.
You're very bighearted.
Luckily, you're my friend.
Did I tell you about my new invention?
What is it?
A steam coach.
-A steam coach?
-What is it? Are you surprised?
Get rid of the horses.
Then...
...put a rudder
in front of the coachman efendi...
...that's riding the horses.
Inside that, there's a steam machine...
...that's more powerful than the horses...
Give the poor woman some water
for God's sake.
Come on, aunt. Take a seat.
Thanks, my sons.
Come on.
How are you? Are you feeling better?
Would you like us to call a doctor
or something, my aunt?
No, thank you. It'll pass.
God bless you.
God bless you, too.
Do you have any other requests from us?
Yes. You went outside even though
you're sick. Where are you going?
We can take you there.
No, my house is close, anyway.
Thank you, boys. Thank you.
Good, whatever you say.
Take care of yourself, my mother.
Be careful. Walk from the sides.
Godspeed.
-What should we do?
-What should we do, Zeyrek?
Duty is sacred. We'll keep inspecting.
Yes.
-Thrace?
-Thrace.
I know that.
Have a nice working day, my brother.
You only know
whatever concerns your belly, anyway.
Oh my God.
Who is that woman, Ali?
Could she be my mother?
We'll find out everything
when we find her, my Mustafa.
Don't worry about it, my brother.
Look at our fates. We've been looking
for each other for years...
...but neither of us
could find each other.
You'll have faith in God, my Mustafa.
We'll find Bala Hatun sooner or later.
We'll find her, my brother.
-Okay but who's this poor woman?
Who does she know in Istanbul?
You can take more.
Sir, it's really heavy...
Don't you see that?
The man's getting crushed under that load!
Don't worry. Nothing happens to these men.
Mind your own business.
This is my business!
Mecit!
Take off that load.
Sure, father.
What's it to you?
Look at me.
Know your place or I'll knock you dead.
My porters won't carry that load.
Who's going to carry it?
You look like a donkey.
Take it on your back.
Maybe you can carry it.
Mecit...
...give the porter his daily wage.
-Yes, father.
-My daughter.
-Dear father?
It's so nice to see you smiling.
-I've almost recovered.
-Yes.
Yes.
Did you know
that we have a guest for dinner tonight?
Who is it?
Miss Azize.
I'd really like you to meet her.
So you're making new friends.
That's great.
But unfortunately, I won't be able to stay
for dinner, my daughter.
Why?
Business doesn't wait.
Come on.
I have to talk to you
about something really important.
Yes, my sister?
It's me.
The child of darkness.
Didn't you recognize Bekrihan...
...the apple of Istanbul?
My brother! How are you?
Stop babbling.
Move away!
What gives, aghas?
You've started coming down here
every time you're itchy.
I don't see Mecit as much as you do.
Hamdi Agha...
...I wish I could figure out
if you're the good or bad kind of meat.
Bala Hatun.
What gives?
Did I touch a sore spot, Hamdi Agha?
Aghas...
...what do you want from me?
I'm just a head porter.
That's right.
A porter agha that's the oldest main man
of Boris Zaharyas.
A porter agha that knows Bala Hatun
and her whereabouts...
...and he lets Abdullah know about it.
You're full of secrets, Hamdi Agha.
You'll be so relaxed
if you tell us what's inside you.
What gives, Bekri?
Are you a man of this situation?
I thought I would dance the Halay
with the Satan...
...but he stepped on my foot.
I stumbled over...
...but I didn't fall down. Thanks God.
That's the reason of my visit.
What do you want?
Satan's...
...soul.
Boris Zaharyas.
My daughter...
...you're my only asset in the world.
You know that, right?
Good.
My daughter...
...if something happens to me one day...
Father!
Allow me.
If something happens to me one day...
...you'll leave Istanbul
with the first ship.
There's an account in your name
in Milano Bank, in Italy.
That account has enough money
to let you live like a princess...
...for the rest of your life.
You'll live in Europe.
You'll never go back to Istanbul.
Never.
Daddy...
...why are you saying such things?
Who could harm you?
I want you to promise me.
Please.
Lara...
...please.
Thank you.
-Get the coach ready.
-How many people should go?
No one.
Tell us whatever you know...
...about Bala Hatun.
Bala Hatun...
...changed her name at some point.
It was Sefika.
Boris used to look for her everywhere
in Istanbul.
I found her.
Instead of taking her to Boris...
...I helped her run away.
But Boris never knew about this.
Where did she go?
I have no idea.
I didn't want to know.
I just told her that if she comes back
to Istanbul again...
...she couldn't make it out alive.
Bala Hatun...
...is back in Istanbul now.
If she comes to you, you'll let us know.
You know better than me
how important this is.
Don't make a mistake this time.
Miss Sureyya, what are we going to do now?
We're going to the port.
We'll also have a talk with Hamdi.
Here you go.
I've finally been invited to your house.
Who do you think invited you?
What about Boris's men?
Don't worry about them.
I'm talking to you about Satan...
...but you're asking me about his tail.
What's actually important
is Boris Zaharyas himself.
You can tie everything else together...
...and throw it into the waters
of Bosphorus.
Don't worry.
My situation is obvious.
If I stick my nose out the door...
...they will kill me
from the base of my neck.
Okay.
What are we going to do?
Come closer.
Good evening.
Come on, Bala Hatun.
Have a seat.
You saved my life once, Hamdi Agha.
Will you help me now?
What do you want, Bala Hatun?
You turned Istanbul upside down again.
That child I brought to Istanbul
in my arms.
Do you know him?
That child is a big fellow now,
Bala Hatun.
He has a wrist of iron...
...and he's a really brave young man now.
His name's Mustafa.
Filinta Mustafa.
His fame has spread throughout Istanbul.
He's the most fearless officer
in this city.
Does he know who Boris is?
No one but you knows
who that demon is.
I will be the only one...
...that lives from your lineage.
Boris Zaharyas.
What does that coin in front of you mean?
It symbolizes that even my life
isn't worth that much, Supreme Efendi.
That's right.
We're entities
who want to reach their goals...
...and we are worthless for our goal.
Do you accept that, Boris Zaharyas?
I've always accepted this
and I accept it now, Supreme Efendi.
Good.
We gave you the name Boris Zaharyas.
We supported you.
We ensured
that you'd become who you are now.
What we wanted from you
was to set up the Ottoman bank.
And I did that.
But at what cost?
We're a river
that flowed underground for centuries...
...Boris Zaharyas.
We never revealed ourselves
with any of our moves and we won't.
But you, Boris...
You disregarded our basic principle.
You revealed us at the time the river
has almost made it to the sea.
You were imprudent.
You're right.
I accept that.
I was imprudent.
He has to suffer the consequences.
-He knew that he had to be careful.
-That's right. It's a serious mistake.
Accepting that
doesn't make us forgive your mistakes.
You went after a little Field Marshal type
called Mustafa...
...and you almost revealed yourself.
What happens if Bala Hatun,
who came here today...
...makes what she knows about you public?
Bala Hatun can't make anything public.
Bala Hatun isn't a threat for us,
Supreme Efendi.
Would you take me to Mustafa?
He doesn't need to.
I'm here.
If you'll allow me...
...I'd like to explain
how worthless I am to you, Supreme Efendi.
Ottoman's bank is now in our hands.
We can follow through with everything...
...this organization has been aspiring to
for centuries.
Gentleman...
...yes.
I'm really not an important person...
...but if you'd like,
I can put Ottoman in your hands...
...just like those coins.
Just like you stated, Supreme Efendi.
We've never been closer to our goal.
It's your decision.
You're very arrogant, Boris Efendi.
We'll vote on your arrogance now.
Accept.
Reject.
Accept.
Reject.
Accept.
Reject.
Three rejects and three accepts.
Your fate is at the tip of my fingers,
Boris Zaharyas.
Are you ready for this?
My son.
My Mustafa.
Thank God, I found you.
Here it is. This is your smell.
That's you.
My Mustafa.
My Mustafa.
I had to leave you
in front of the Kulliye.
Satan has always been after us.
We couldn't both run away.
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Tell me for God's sake.
Who are you?
You'll find out the truth now, Mustafa.
Mustafa, my son.
You're...
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
Is it your first time in Istanbul, aunt?
No. I came 27 years ago.
Are you okay, aunt?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Come over to our house
if you don't have anywhere to go.
I have a place to go.
Thank you, my dear girl.
We traveled together for many days.
We hold a bond of the road.
You didn't even give me your name, aunt.
I have nothing to be scared of anymore.
My name is Bala Hatun.
So why did you do this to me?
You're a mistake. You're my illegitimate child.
After I kill you, in this order
I will kill your son, your bride
and your little grandchild.
If that's the case
I will be the only one
-that lives from your lineage.
-Don't!
What's happening?
Is Boris Zaharyas leaving
without even saying goodbye?
That's not the case at all.
I'm thankful for your hospitality.
Are you really thankful?
There's not a single thing
I can't explain...
...and I never remain indebted.
So, Sureyya, I won't forget this.
I should've done this before.
It was written to be done today.
Field Marshal Mustafa...
...in result of your decisions and success
my final decision is clear.
Your condemnation of death that's been
decided by Cadi Giyaseddin Hatemi...
...has been lifted.
My Hodja!
Many thanks to God.
My Hodja, get up.
You've been freed from your burden.
We've reached this happy day
thanks to God's divinity
and your decisions, my Sultan. Thank God.
There isn't a single human in the world
that doesn't go through troubles.
If there is, he's not a human.
You passed this test,
Field Marshal Mustafa.
The sagacity you showed...
...has been an unforgettable lesson
of dignity and justice
to the whole Ottoman nation.
Our Prophet Efendi says that...
"The heart gets sorrowful
and the eye gets watery."
Raise your head, lad!
Keep your head up all the time.
Blade Ali
and Field Marshal Mustafa.
I have very important plans for you.
My Sultan...
I'm grateful to you for pardoning me, but...
But?
I would like to be tried again
in front of everyone
and prove my innocence there.
You don't want to be pardoned
but you want to be vindicated.
The Ottoman Empire's...
base emotions are honor and morals.
This nation and civilization
will rise on these emotions.
Yes?
I'm sorry for disturbing you
but I was going to have a request.
I used to live here years ago.
You're...
...Bala Hatun!
The woman you talked to at the station...
She tried to kill our Padishah Efendi.
Please excuse my confusion
but I have to ask this.
Cadi Efendi, how is that possible? How?
His Highness Padishah is one
of the most protected people on earth.
Being able to get very close to him
in this situation...
Facing death and daring to attack
His Majesty...
How does that happen?
This woman, Emine Hatun,
how do you know her?
Know her? Where did you
come up with that?
It was my first and last time
seeing that woman at the station.
Cadi Efendi, I hope that
you're not thinking
that I have anything to do
with this woman.
If that's what you're thinking,
that means you're suspecting me
for the assassination
of our Padishah.
Boris Efendi, it's correct
that I have suspicions about you
but trying to kill our Padishah Efendi...
That's not one of the suspicions
I have about you.
At least I'm happy to hear that much.
I hope that you're not overseeing this.
This woman...
Emine Hatun, right?
She especially wanted to be with me
in your presence.
As you command, Boris Efendi.
You wanted to be seen with me because
you want to uncover our relation.
But why?
She came out of nowhere.
She asked me silly questions.
-For example?
-My name. Then about the bank.
For example, she congratulated me
for setting up the bank.
My God.
Look, we set up this bank.
But financial power alone
is not enough for it.
You also need to have courage.
Foreign countries did whatever they can
to stop the setting up of this bank.
Maybe you're not aware but I tried
to resist all this as much as I could.
I mean that we have a lot of enemies.
They tried to take me down
as well as our Padishah.
I mean that I'm just another victim
of this big set up.
Boris Efendi...
...I would've never guessed
that I would say this one day
but I believe that
you're telling the truth.
Cadi Efendi, we have to be
able to fight together
against the enemies of the Ottoman Empire
or else we will be crushed.
-So you came back.
-How do you know me?
We've been waiting for you for years,
Bala Hatun.
You have really important
and powerful enemies.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. Don't worry.
Fortunately, you have friends too,
as well as enemies.
-They'll be really happy to see you.
-Who are they?
Miss Sureyya.
We'll go to her soon.
Let's have a rest first.
You look tired.
What's going on?
We'll talk.
Let's eat first.
Faris Efendi was my father.
Did you know that?
I've been called an illegitimate son.
You knew that.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Good.
-What do you want?
-To eat.
I've never seen such a dinner table.
As I said, we're half-brothers.
I'd never do anything to you.
So I have a nephew!
I wanted to congratulate you
and meet him.
Our coffee is bitter but tasty,
Bala Hatun.
By the way
what brings you back to the place
you disappeared from years ago?
I hid something over there years ago.
It's time.
What was hidden will be unearthed now.
What is it?
Something that will ruin the demon
who is after me.
If you're waiting for Faris Efendi
he won't be able to make it.
His men either.
I was just with them.
He's my father after all.
I had to see him first.
It's out of respect.
But don't worry.
After all he did to me for years
his death was quick and clean.
I'm a slave that was tortured for years
and you are a spoiled prince.
Whereas, we were both his sons.
Take whatever you want and go.
Oh, my dear brother.
I wish it were only about money.
We're brothers after all.
We could've taken care of it
somehow, right?
But I want revenge.
You said you wouldn't harm us!
Is that so?
I lied.
You were raised like a sissy, my brother.
What's that thing
that's going to ruin Boris?
I didn't say Boris.
How did you understand?
-You...
-It's nothing personal.
Let's just say that Boris paid more.
Coffee.
The coffee is poisonous.
Boris will give me a lot of money
when he hears that you're dead.
Then it will be Sureyya's turn.
The big game starts.
It's your turn.
Please show mercy to my baby.
No one showed mercy to me.
Bala Hatun, run!
No one can run away from me.
Your son will come after you,
don't worry.
I knew Boris before you.
He taught me not to trust anyone.
Our coffee is bitter but tasty,
Bala Hatun.
I'm sorry. Can I get a glass of water?
I knew Boris before you.
He taught me not to trust anyone.
You learned that too
but it was a little late for you.
One day, everything will see
the light of day with these.
Bala Hatun, open the door!
Bala Hatun!
Bala Hatun...
...give me the kid
and I'll spare your life.
Bala Hatun!
I'll find you wherever you are, son.
The neighbors found them like this,
my chief.
Poor woman.
I think she was poisoned.
She knew the person
she was sitting down with.
Take this to Abdullah.
Have him analyze it.
Whoever this person is
they killed the poor woman
by poisoning her, Mustafa.
Someone was hiding something here.
Nahide, for example.
She's not as innocent as she looks.
Sometimes nothing is what it looks like.
Whoever Nahide was sitting with,
whoever she made the coffee for...
They succeeded in being a hunter
while they were the prey.
So Nahide hoisted with her own petard.
She was poisoned when
she was trying to poison someone.
-Who's that woman?
-This is Nahide.
She's someone that I settled
in the neighborhood years ago.
She lets me know whoever comes
looking for Bala Hatun.
Once someone is sold, Ali,
everyone can hire that person.
You just need to raise the price.
DOLMABAHCE PALACE
I talked to Boris Zaharyas as needed.
Him being seen with Emine Hatun
who tried to kill you
was against his will.
The woman got together with Boris Zaharyas
by the order of her conspiracy partners.
God knows
it is a conspiracy to raise suspicions
about Boris Zaharyas.
I think the same.
Killing the man who's sitting
on top of the Ottoman Empire's property
let alone Boris Zaharyas' power,
it even exceeds his imagination, my Hodja.
We know who's behind this, right?
Some people got uncomfortable
because of what we did recently.
I consulted this with you before.
I'll tell you briefly, Master.
We've actually come to the end of an era
rather than the end of a century.
Our efforts in the last 200 years
were to make our state powerful again
with all its organs.
But we lost a lot of time.
During this time we lost,
the infidels made a lot of progress.
We need time to be able to catch up
with them.
During that time we catch up with them,
we have to run.
You'll ask me where this progress
brought the infidels?
You know the answer better than me.
They're bleeding nations dry
that live under them.
They're doing things
that will jeopardize all humanity,
for their daily needs.
They're also trying to take over us.
That's what we'll take advantage of.
I mean that we'll benefit from
their ambition and arrogance.
Hopefully.
And we'll set these bloodsuckers
against each other.
Hopefully.
Lara Zaharyas?
POST OFFICE
-Miss Azize?
-What a surprise!
I know that we had
a lot of conflict between us
but I wanted to tell you I'm sorry
for what you've been through.
After all, we both suffer
the same fate.
We've been deceived by the same guy.
-Are you here to send a letter too?
-Yes.
I sent letters to my nanny Gulbahar's
relatives.
I'm here to send letters, too.
We can talk it over with a coffee
if you'd like.
I knew Nahide for a long time.
I received the bad news
before you arrived.
I'm really sorry.
Did you know her well?
-What?
-Look, Miss Surreya.
Whoever Ms. Nahide was sitting with,
whoever she made the coffee for...
...they were able to be the hunter
while they were the prey.
So, Nahide got hit by her own petard.
So she kept a foot in both camps
for all these years.
She was poisoned while
she was trying to poison someone.
She's dead.
She couldn't complete her mission.
Does that mean that the person
you were waiting for returned to Istanbul?
Bala Hatun. She came back.
Miss Sureyya.
It's time to tell us what you know.
Or this situation will strangle us all.
Just so you know.
Don't worry about me right now.
What you need to do right away is...
...find Bala Hatun.
Bring me that woman, Weasel.
Yes, sir. But...
We don't know her appearance at all.
Yes. That's why...
You have to investigate
where she's been before.
The place where she dropped me off.
In front of the Kulliye.
Ali.
Have a good day.
You too.
Oh my God.
God bless you.
Okay.
Yes, nurse?
A baby was dropped off here years ago.
Do you know how many babies
are dropped off here every year?
This baby had a clock on him.
Exactly 27 years ago.
If you were the one
that dropped the baby off
why did you come
looking for him now, nurse?
Did your conscience take 27 years off
and started working now?
See, it's not what you think.
It's really important.
It's a matter of life and death.
I'm not that old here.
-But...
-But?
But there was a young man on duty here
back then.
He used to deal with the kids.
If you find him...
...he might be able to help you.
-His name was Giyaseddin.
-Thank you.
Thank you very much.
How can I find him?
There's no one that doesn't know
Giyaseddin Efendi in Istanbul, nurse.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
No one could get away from you easily,
Boris Efendi. Who's this woman?
This woman...
This woman, Esat Pasha...
We could definitely call this woman
the exception of my life.
I've never chased anyone else that much.
Can I make myself clear?
Her name's Bala Hatun.
She should be in her sixties right now.
So you're expecting me to send
the whole army after a woman.
Yes, Esat Pasha.
Only the ones you trust the most.
We don't want it to spread.
You want us to find a woman
that we only know by name, Bala Hatun
and bring her to you.
Yes, Esat Pasha. Yes.
And hopefully you'll find her
before it's too late and bring her to me.
Is there anything I left out?
Good.
Do you remember what I asked you
the first time we met here?
Mustafa and Ali are after Bala Hatun
as well, Riza.
Let's see if you show the capability
of finding her before them.
We'll find that woman, Mustafa.
We'll find her.
If she stays alive.
Greetings, uncle.
Greetings.
Yes, lads? What do you want?
We're looking for a woman.
We thought that she might have come here.
This woman is looking for a baby
that was left in front of
this Kulliye 27 years ago.
A baby was dropped off here years ago.
This baby had a clock on him.
Exactly 27 years ago.
What makes Sureyya think
that she's trying to find you?
The woman's after me, Ali.
There isn't another explanation.
She trusts no one.
If she knew where you are,
she would come and find you.
Today, everyone's looking for Bala Hatun
in Istanbul but she's after me.
It's like your looks are hiding something
from me, uncle.
Your eyes are giving you away
as a scoundrel, but...
Go away!
I can tell. You talked to her.
But you won't be able to talk anymore.
Take your most trusted men with you
and find this Bala Hatun.
-Then I'll take her to Boris Efendi.
-No!
You'll bring her to me.
Let's find out who this woman is
that scares Boris Zaharyas.
What's she made of?
I'll meet her first.
Yes, Minister Efendi.
They knew that we were coming.
He was killed so he couldn't talk.
Our idea of starting with the Kulliye
was on point.
It's obvious. Bala Hatun was here.
They're trying to act faster than us
to block us from finding her, Mustafa.
I heard what happened to you.
You were shot. Get well soon.
-Thank you.
-How do you feel now?
A little tired
-cheated on.
-Cheated?
Miss Azize, there are hundreds
of scums in this world
that are willing to abuse people.
Tell me about it!
Field Marshal Mustafa.
Handsome and skillful.
He was whispering
love words to me on the one hand,
and trying to win your heart
on the other hand.
Men, dear.
There isn't a single lie they wouldn't say
in order to get what they want.
I know very well where to find you.
Boris Efendi.
-Sureyya.
-Are you calling Esat Pasha for help?
The weather is great, isn't it?
For some people.
You hired Nahide.
I did.
Poor idiot.
She tried to do it on her own
instead of letting me know.
Why does Bala Hatun scare you so much?
Scare me?
Bala Hatun doesn't scare me.
Bala Hatun is an old friend.
I just want to take a trip down
memory lane with her.
I care about old friends.
You know that the best.
Don't forget this, Boris Zaharyas.
You won't win this game
of running away and chasing.
I'll find Bala Hatun before you.
Little Sureyya...
...this game is way too big for you.
On top of that, if we consider
the mistakes you made
and your shortcomings
since you came to Istanbul
it's also really dangerous.
Be careful when you're running around
in Istanbul's streets.
You might fall and we wouldn't want you
to get hurt.
I'll refresh your memory if you want.
This little Sureyya, instead of
blocking you from setting up a bank
is personally a partner of it.
I can anticipate your every move.
I wouldn't be offending my partner
if I were you.
You might regret it later.
Regret?
Regret is only pitifulness
that's only felt by weak people.
I never needed excuses and what ifs.
Enjoy the weather.
That woman must be found at whatever cost.
Riza Efendi, how will we find this woman?
I have an idea.
Hang on.
Hang on, I'm almost there.
So, they killed Eyup Efendi.
He was a very good person.
God rest his soul.
Amen.
These damned people are always
a step ahead of us
and they're doing whatever they can
so we can't catch up with them.
And they're not abstaining from killing
to do that.
If these murderers
find Bala Hatun before us
we'll lose the only key to the story.
She's looking for you
and we're looking for her.
We have to find and help her
before bloody hands get to her.
Bala Hatun went to the house
she used to stay as her first stop.
I used to live here years ago.
Boris will give me a lot of money
when he hears that you're dead.
He taught me not to trust anyone.
Then she went to the place
she dropped Mustafa off.
A baby was dropped off here years ago.
Exactly 27 years ago.
I'm not that old here.
But there was a young man on duty here
back then.
He used to deal with the kids.
His name was Giyaseddin.
That woman needs to find you first
in order to be able to find me.
Be careful, my sons.
This woman's been fleeing death
for 27 years.
She doesn't trust a single human on earth
to be able to stay alive.
Go to my house right away, my sons. Go on.
Come on inside.
Thank you for not refusing us
and coming here, Boris Efendi.
Emine Hatun that
tried to kill the Padishah...
Nothing can be proven about my relation.
But Cadi Efendi still interrogated you
this morning about this matter.
Why are you so surprised?
We have men in the Ottoman Empire as well.
What did you talk with Cadi Efendi?
I'd be in the dungeons if he thought
that I have anything to do
with the assassination.
Boris Efendi
we have really big plans about
the Ottoman Empire
and you're putting us in danger
with every step you take.
Is that so?
If you're following
my every step carefully
why didn't you warn me about the trap
the English set up for me?
Yes. I also have men among the Germans.
This bank we set up is our biggest force
against the Ottoman Empire.
The bank I set up.
You did nothing else but slow me down
with your incapability.
The past is the past.
We have to look forward
in a friendly manner now.
I needed a friend on my back
to be able to look forward
and I thought that your country
was my friend but you...
You disappointed me, dear Ambassador.
We only did what we had to do.
You did nothing but to watch me go down.
Now you're talking about friendship.
Of course, I might think about
joining forces with Germany but...
...friendship is a mutual concept.
And if you try to set me up once more
you'll bear the consequences.
And you, Anita.
I started having deep feelings about you.
Don't even dare to call me here anymore.
Does Giyaseddin Efendi live here?
Yes. Do you have a question?
The one that worked
in the Yusuf Efendi Kulliye 27 years ago?
That's correct.
Oh, thank God!
Are you okay?
Here, come in.
Stop!
You'll bring her to me.
Let's find out who this woman is...
...that scares Boris Zaharyas.
I'll meet her first.
You're Bala Hatun, right?
Who dropped off this box?
-Did you see who got in the coach?
-I didn't, sir.
Of course you didn't.
You didn't.
They're invisible.
How dare you come to this house?
Aunt Ayse?
Don't pronounce my name
with your filthy mouth.
Bala Hatun, you're coming with us.
That woman is searching Giyaseddin Efendi.
From now on, this matter
concerns the police.
Don't get involved.
Mother, what's happening?
Ayse...
...Hatun.
Let's not make a scene here.
What do you say to that?
That woman is suspected of murder.
And she's wanted in the name of law.
Don't worry, my beautiful daughter.
Don't worry.
I'll tell Giyaseddin Efendi
that you were here.
Sure, tell him. Tell him.
After all, even we can't do anything
if she gets shot
while she's trying to run away.
Who's that woman, mother?
Miss Azize, I'm glad that I ran into you.
I haven't laughed this much
in a long time.
Then we should thank Mustafa.
We're friends thanks to him.
I was so happy that I was able to
make your beautiful face smile.
Sadness doesn't look good at all
on those beautiful eyes of yours.
I just can't believe I was so blind.
Lara, of course there are a lot of people
that would like to use someone
of such family, influence and wealth.
How strange.
My father said the same thing.
See, you're finally healthy again.
You're young, beautiful and smart.
Plus, all the handsome guys in Istanbul
would be on your doorstep
with a single wave of your hand.
Miss Azize, I'll tell you something.
Would you like to dine together
at our place tonight?
-What do you think?
-But, I mean...
I won't take no for an answer.
Okay, if you say so.
-Who is it?
-It's us, Aunt.
What gives, Aunt? Did something happen?
Riza. He took someone called Bala Hatun.
What?
Don't leave the house.
Don't open the door
to anyone but us, Aunt. Okay?
Maybe you won't believe me
but I'm actually a great officer,
Bala Hatun.
See? I found a woman
that's been wanted for 27 years
with the snap of a finger.
I can tell. You're also the dog
of that man known as Boris.
You'll find out about my owner
when we get to the door we belong
-Bala Hatun.
-Lookie here!
Such an inconvenience we caused!
We'll take it from here, Riza Efendi.
You can...
Get away from here.
Minister Efendi ordered. Go!
That minister of yours...
Don't forget who he takes his orders from.
Move!
Go away with your consent, Riza.
That fits well.
Go on.
You can't take this woman from us.
Now get away from here!
Get away!
Bala Hatun.
We were raided.
Where's Bala Hatun?
She got away.
Riza
I'm wondering which of our sins
led God to curse us with your presence.
Couldn't you recognize me?
You dropped me off
in front of the Kulliye 27 years ago.
Do you remember this?
You...
My son!
See, we've met again after years.
You don't need to run away
from Boris anymore.
I'm here.
We won't be separated ever again.
Which way did she go?
Where did she go?
Ali!
God damn it!
I'd know my child from his smell.
Whoever you are,
don't ever confront me again!
I'll kill you!
So you let her slip through your fingers?
If Boris Efendi's men weren't there,
she would be in your presence right now.
If Boris Zaharyas' men can risk
clashing with officers
that woman must be really important.
Boris Efendi...
Boris Efendi's men
killed the state's officers.
Now he has to answer to me.
Find Bala Hatun meanwhile.
-You can go.
-Yes, Minister Efendi.
What is it again, Riza?
You...
Bala Hatun got away from Riza
and disappeared, madam.
Our men can't find her either.
It fell to my lot.
What should we do, madam?
We'll join the search.
You're really surprised, Esat Pasha.
I came back from death.
My Azize!
Thank God.
I thought that I'd never see you again.
I have a new mission now.
Do you see that, Azize?
We've had too many troubles.
You came back from death
and I ended up in a dungeon.
-I did everything you asked.
-I know.
That's why you're able to breathe
in front of me.
You're free now but our cooperation
will go on for sure.
-What do you want me to do?
-Good.
What do I want you to do?
Unfortunately, Lara's nanny Gulbahar
had to leave us.
I need someone to accompany her
and to look after her.
And that will be me.
Bravo.
And you'll protect her
from that fool Mustafa.
I'm okay for anything
but I really don't think
that Mustafa is a fool.
Someone that values their enemy.
Look, Cemil. I always make this mistake.
Good luck.
So Lara Zaharyas is under your wings
from now on.
Good.
Very good.
Everyone in Istanbul
is looking for Bala Hatun
but she's looking for Mustafa.
She must have understood
that she can't trust anyone by now.
A woman who's been on the run
for 27 years
would know that she can't trust anyone.
The matter is that we have to find her.
We'll find Bala Hatun according to
the description we have of her.
We won't sleep until we find Bala Hatun!
I went to Aunt Ayse first.
We specified her description with her.
By the way,
this is my new invention
called Speedy Abdullah.
Maybe they could name it differently
in the future but that's the name for now.
We can use this machine to make copies
of Bala Hatun's picture
whose appearance we have already drawn.
I can do it.
Ali, please don't jam it.
Give that appearance only to officers
we can trust.
We have to be the first ones
to find Bala Hatun.
Come on, you can do it now.
Fortunately, the wound isn't too deep.
I've seen worse.
You'll live, chief.
Garbis, don't be silly.
We'll find Bala Hatun at all costs.
We'll burn all of Istanbul's streets
if we have to.
I checked your notebooks.
You're evading your taxes.
How did you come up with that, Fatih?
You can lie but numbers don't lie.
I mean, maybe this much.
This much.
Let's say this much.
That's how many taxes you're evading
from the state.
Fatih, my brother...
Listen to what Fatih says, anyway.
They'll scar you badly.
Everyone that ever cheated the state...
...ended up poorly.
You'll be baffled. Which you are, anyway.
But Fatih's calculations
never get baffled.
My God.
My God.
-Welcome, Abdullah Efendi.
-Thank you, Fatih.
What does our state order this time?
The state never lacks business.
You look a little tired.
Let's get some fresh air if you'd like.
We could chat.
Okay.
You're searching this woman...
...and you want me to ask
shopkeepers.
Exactly.
All of Istanbul's inputs and outputs
pass by you every day.
If you find traces of this woman...
...you can contact me,
my Mustafa or my Ali.
Consider it done, Abdullah Efendi.
By the way, don't forget this.
Show that picture
only to people you trust.
Don't have any doubts about that.
Sometimes I think...
...who knows what I could do
if I had your intelligence and capability?
Don't exaggerate, Abdullah Efendi.
Human kind stops at nothing
as long as they believe.
You're very bighearted.
Luckily, you're my friend.
Did I tell you about my new invention?
What is it?
A steam coach.
-A steam coach?
-What is it? Are you surprised?
Get rid of the horses.
Then...
...put a rudder
in front of the coachman efendi...
...that's riding the horses.
Inside that, there's a steam machine...
...that's more powerful than the horses...
Give the poor woman some water
for God's sake.
Come on, aunt. Take a seat.
Thanks, my sons.
Come on.
How are you? Are you feeling better?
Would you like us to call a doctor
or something, my aunt?
No, thank you. It'll pass.
God bless you.
God bless you, too.
Do you have any other requests from us?
Yes. You went outside even though
you're sick. Where are you going?
We can take you there.
No, my house is close, anyway.
Thank you, boys. Thank you.
Good, whatever you say.
Take care of yourself, my mother.
Be careful. Walk from the sides.
Godspeed.
-What should we do?
-What should we do, Zeyrek?
Duty is sacred. We'll keep inspecting.
Yes.
-Thrace?
-Thrace.
I know that.
Have a nice working day, my brother.
You only know
whatever concerns your belly, anyway.
Oh my God.
Who is that woman, Ali?
Could she be my mother?
We'll find out everything
when we find her, my Mustafa.
Don't worry about it, my brother.
Look at our fates. We've been looking
for each other for years...
...but neither of us
could find each other.
You'll have faith in God, my Mustafa.
We'll find Bala Hatun sooner or later.
We'll find her, my brother.
-Okay but who's this poor woman?
Who does she know in Istanbul?
You can take more.
Sir, it's really heavy...
Don't you see that?
The man's getting crushed under that load!
Don't worry. Nothing happens to these men.
Mind your own business.
This is my business!
Mecit!
Take off that load.
Sure, father.
What's it to you?
Look at me.
Know your place or I'll knock you dead.
My porters won't carry that load.
Who's going to carry it?
You look like a donkey.
Take it on your back.
Maybe you can carry it.
Mecit...
...give the porter his daily wage.
-Yes, father.
-My daughter.
-Dear father?
It's so nice to see you smiling.
-I've almost recovered.
-Yes.
Yes.
Did you know
that we have a guest for dinner tonight?
Who is it?
Miss Azize.
I'd really like you to meet her.
So you're making new friends.
That's great.
But unfortunately, I won't be able to stay
for dinner, my daughter.
Why?
Business doesn't wait.
Come on.
I have to talk to you
about something really important.
Yes, my sister?
It's me.
The child of darkness.
Didn't you recognize Bekrihan...
...the apple of Istanbul?
My brother! How are you?
Stop babbling.
Move away!
What gives, aghas?
You've started coming down here
every time you're itchy.
I don't see Mecit as much as you do.
Hamdi Agha...
...I wish I could figure out
if you're the good or bad kind of meat.
Bala Hatun.
What gives?
Did I touch a sore spot, Hamdi Agha?
Aghas...
...what do you want from me?
I'm just a head porter.
That's right.
A porter agha that's the oldest main man
of Boris Zaharyas.
A porter agha that knows Bala Hatun
and her whereabouts...
...and he lets Abdullah know about it.
You're full of secrets, Hamdi Agha.
You'll be so relaxed
if you tell us what's inside you.
What gives, Bekri?
Are you a man of this situation?
I thought I would dance the Halay
with the Satan...
...but he stepped on my foot.
I stumbled over...
...but I didn't fall down. Thanks God.
That's the reason of my visit.
What do you want?
Satan's...
...soul.
Boris Zaharyas.
My daughter...
...you're my only asset in the world.
You know that, right?
Good.
My daughter...
...if something happens to me one day...
Father!
Allow me.
If something happens to me one day...
...you'll leave Istanbul
with the first ship.
There's an account in your name
in Milano Bank, in Italy.
That account has enough money
to let you live like a princess...
...for the rest of your life.
You'll live in Europe.
You'll never go back to Istanbul.
Never.
Daddy...
...why are you saying such things?
Who could harm you?
I want you to promise me.
Please.
Lara...
...please.
Thank you.
-Get the coach ready.
-How many people should go?
No one.
Tell us whatever you know...
...about Bala Hatun.
Bala Hatun...
...changed her name at some point.
It was Sefika.
Boris used to look for her everywhere
in Istanbul.
I found her.
Instead of taking her to Boris...
...I helped her run away.
But Boris never knew about this.
Where did she go?
I have no idea.
I didn't want to know.
I just told her that if she comes back
to Istanbul again...
...she couldn't make it out alive.
Bala Hatun...
...is back in Istanbul now.
If she comes to you, you'll let us know.
You know better than me
how important this is.
Don't make a mistake this time.
Miss Sureyya, what are we going to do now?
We're going to the port.
We'll also have a talk with Hamdi.
Here you go.
I've finally been invited to your house.
Who do you think invited you?
What about Boris's men?
Don't worry about them.
I'm talking to you about Satan...
...but you're asking me about his tail.
What's actually important
is Boris Zaharyas himself.
You can tie everything else together...
...and throw it into the waters
of Bosphorus.
Don't worry.
My situation is obvious.
If I stick my nose out the door...
...they will kill me
from the base of my neck.
Okay.
What are we going to do?
Come closer.
Good evening.
Come on, Bala Hatun.
Have a seat.
You saved my life once, Hamdi Agha.
Will you help me now?
What do you want, Bala Hatun?
You turned Istanbul upside down again.
That child I brought to Istanbul
in my arms.
Do you know him?
That child is a big fellow now,
Bala Hatun.
He has a wrist of iron...
...and he's a really brave young man now.
His name's Mustafa.
Filinta Mustafa.
His fame has spread throughout Istanbul.
He's the most fearless officer
in this city.
Does he know who Boris is?
No one but you knows
who that demon is.
I will be the only one...
...that lives from your lineage.
Boris Zaharyas.
What does that coin in front of you mean?
It symbolizes that even my life
isn't worth that much, Supreme Efendi.
That's right.
We're entities
who want to reach their goals...
...and we are worthless for our goal.
Do you accept that, Boris Zaharyas?
I've always accepted this
and I accept it now, Supreme Efendi.
Good.
We gave you the name Boris Zaharyas.
We supported you.
We ensured
that you'd become who you are now.
What we wanted from you
was to set up the Ottoman bank.
And I did that.
But at what cost?
We're a river
that flowed underground for centuries...
...Boris Zaharyas.
We never revealed ourselves
with any of our moves and we won't.
But you, Boris...
You disregarded our basic principle.
You revealed us at the time the river
has almost made it to the sea.
You were imprudent.
You're right.
I accept that.
I was imprudent.
He has to suffer the consequences.
-He knew that he had to be careful.
-That's right. It's a serious mistake.
Accepting that
doesn't make us forgive your mistakes.
You went after a little Field Marshal type
called Mustafa...
...and you almost revealed yourself.
What happens if Bala Hatun,
who came here today...
...makes what she knows about you public?
Bala Hatun can't make anything public.
Bala Hatun isn't a threat for us,
Supreme Efendi.
Would you take me to Mustafa?
He doesn't need to.
I'm here.
If you'll allow me...
...I'd like to explain
how worthless I am to you, Supreme Efendi.
Ottoman's bank is now in our hands.
We can follow through with everything...
...this organization has been aspiring to
for centuries.
Gentleman...
...yes.
I'm really not an important person...
...but if you'd like,
I can put Ottoman in your hands...
...just like those coins.
Just like you stated, Supreme Efendi.
We've never been closer to our goal.
It's your decision.
You're very arrogant, Boris Efendi.
We'll vote on your arrogance now.
Accept.
Reject.
Accept.
Reject.
Accept.
Reject.
Three rejects and three accepts.
Your fate is at the tip of my fingers,
Boris Zaharyas.
Are you ready for this?
My son.
My Mustafa.
Thank God, I found you.
Here it is. This is your smell.
That's you.
My Mustafa.
My Mustafa.
I had to leave you
in front of the Kulliye.
Satan has always been after us.
We couldn't both run away.
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Tell me for God's sake.
Who are you?
You'll find out the truth now, Mustafa.
Mustafa, my son.
You're...
