02x01 - Episode 1

Post by bunniefuu »

Come with me!

Come with me!

Come with me!
Come with me!

It was reported that the person
who was found dead...

...in front of the building in the
morning was Yüksel Yıldırımoğlu...

...the owner of the clinic.

Relatives of the patients
who flocked to the scene are...

...in a fearful wait
with the fear...

We have been waiting here for
hours! Nobody told us anything.

We have to call him late.

Late Yüksel Yıldırımoğlu's family
just arrived at the crime scene.

The victim Yüksel Yıldırımoğlu...

Make some room, make some room.

Wait a minute!

Grandma!
Wait a minute!

Move!

Move!

Move!
Move!

Lower your g*ns!

Lower them!

Is this how you secure
the crime scene?

What do you think you are doing!

Move!

I am superintendent Çınar Demir.

Let me give you a hand.

Grandma, be careful.

Are you okay?

Thank you.

Thank you.

The victim is the owner of
the clinic, Yüksel Yıldırımoğlu.

He died after falling from
the top floor of the building.

No one saw how it happened
because they found him...

...on laying on the ground.

Guys, make some room, please.

And also, there is a
museum on the top floor.

It was robbed.

I've asked for the
security camera footage.

Our great-grandfather,
Master Yıldırım.

One of the greatest
physicians of Ottoman.

My condolences.

When I heard the noise
coming from the outside...

...I was working at my office.
I ran downstairs.

I just realized that the man
on the ground was my father...

...when I got closer to him.

So, have you heard a noise
coming from the museum before that?

No.

Have you seen anyone suspicious?

Did your father have an argument
with someone lately?

Did he have any enemy?

Mr Çınar, as you know
we had a difficult day.

We are grief-stricken and
my wife needs to get some rest.

I'd appreciate
if you question her later on.

It's okay, Tayfur,
officer is doing his job.

No, Mr Çınar,
my dad didn't have any enemies...

...he didn't have an argument
with anyone.

I see.

Mr Tayfur, where were you?

I was on this floor when it
happened. I was in my office.

We were working on this
month's expenses...

...with our accountant, Mrs Tuana.

All those people, all that staff!

Hasn't anyone heard anything?

Hasn't anyone seen anything?

We are questioning everyone.

Firstly, we'll investigate
if your father was k*lled...

...in a petty theft
or was it a premeditated m*rder.

Premeditated m*rder?

Who would want
to k*ll my father?

We are evaluating every option.

It's our job.

What were you doing
when the incident took place?

Mr Tayfur and I were
working on the accounts.

And then, we heard that Mr Yüksel
fell from the top of the building.

Was it a suicide?

We are investigating it.

How long have you
been working here?

About 3, 4 years.

Thank you, Mrs Tuana.

My condolences.

Was there a valuable item
stolen from the museum?

Ibn Sina's Canon Medicinae.

It was published in 18th century,
that's why it is so valuable.

You can find the
reissues of it everywhere.

My brother is
in charge of the museum.

Anything else?

Antique medical instruments.

They are valuable for some people.

Otherwise, you can find
similar instruments...

...in every medical museum.

So, anything else?

A diary...

...your great-grandfather
Master Yıldırım's diary.

It has only sentimental value.

This museum was so important
for our father.

At least, the times got stolen.

It's okay.

The last 6 hours of
the footage is missing.

Okay, take the
hard disk to the lab.

Tell them to check it out
and save it if they can.

All that staff, patients,
relatives of the patients...

...didn't anyone see anything?

In the brawl, a policeman tried to
disperse the anxious relatives...

...of the patients
by sh**ting in the air.

Although we repeatedly
asked for an explanation...

...we haven't heard anything
from the police force yet.

Come on!

Move!

My dear, bring me
a glass of lemonade.

I did what was necessary, sir.

You didn't do much, Çınar!

Son, while you pulled your g*n,
why didn't take some of them down?

Huh?

Our police force would be a
phenomenon on the internet.

It would be great, wouldn't it?

After that, I would get
phone calls from the mayor...

...from the district governor
and businessmen.

I'd be so happy, you know.

Sir, you can find
everything on incident report.

The hell with the incident report!

Report, he says!

Despite the public was warned
repeatedly, as a result of...

...resistance against the police,
fire was opened in the air...

...in a controlled manner
to disperse the crowd.

Listen to that!

Nobody got wounded
during the incident.

Thanks.

The fire, which was opened to
ensure security, was carried out...

...with the aim of dispersing
the crowd at the scene...

...and there was no other purpose.

Son, you should have
another purpose, man!

You should have done it, son.

Çınar, have you
lost your mind, son?

Doctor told me not to get angry.

I can't get angry, you know.

He told me to stay away
from stress, son.

Son, I have a high blood pressure.

Do you want to k*ll me
or something?

Sir, victim's old mother
was on the ground. It was crowded.

I didn't know what
was going to happen.

What should I do?
Just sit there and watch it?

Didn't your doctor
ban you from smoking?

It's none of your business, man!
Good God!

I'll quit smoking! Here.
I am quitting it.

Okay.

I stopped having salt as well.
I stopped having sugar as well.

Here!
The hell with the cigarette!

Now, get the f*ck out of here!

You, f*cking idiot.

Come in.

Why you took so long
to bring me some water?

You see, Dynamite.

No, man, I am not swearing at you.
Don't get me wrong.

I love you.
That's why I swore at you.

God!

We have the preliminary
autopsy report.

Thanks, Narin.
Come with me.

Come inside with me.

Professor Derin, hello.

Hello.

He died because of the impact.

All the findings point to it.

Anything else?

There aren't any visual marks
or any other wounds on the victim.

These are the preliminary findings.

I'll open it now.

Sir, can I go outside
for a while please?

-Are you feeling bad?
-Yes, sir.

-Where are you going?
-I'll be outside.

Sir, if something happens to me
one day...

...please don't let her
to chop me up in pieces, please.

Yes, there are no
visual marks on the body.

Let's start from the scratch.

What is the first thing
that comes to mind?

He might have
jumped off the building.

Let's put the first thing
that comes to mind for last.

Yes.

Anything else?

It might be an accident.

But the museum was robbed.

So?

So, he was pushed.

Yes.

Yes.

We have to ask more questions
to find out which one it was.

Who?

It might be someone
from the family.

Tayfur and Oya was at the clinic
when the incident took place.

Okay, but they own the museum.
Why would they rob themselves?

Let's check their bank accounts.
Let's see what we can find.

The person you are calling cannot
take your call at the moment.

Su!

I am sorry but we are closed.

I am sorry but we are closed.

Good God!

Hey!

You, as*h*le!

f*ck off, man!

Are you pissed off with me?

Aren't you going to say anything?

But they deserved it.

Do you know what would happen if
you hit someone on the head...

...with a bottle? To both of you!

What were you going to do?

Were you going to k*ll him?

Look who's talking.

You kicked the sh*t out of them.

It wouldn't be a bad thing,
would it?

We could save the world
from an as*h*le.

It's not as easy as you think.

Hello, Fırat?

Sir, someone's m*rder*d.

Sir, the squad arrived at the crime
scene after the alarm went off.

The victim is the owner
of the shop, Rıfat Andıç.

We don't have a witness
unfortunately...

...because the neighbouring shops
were closed.

It's obvious.
They've looked for something.

They must have found
what they were looking for.

They didn't touch here.

That's the first thing
comes to mind, Fırat.

What about the 2nd scenario?

Do you think he couldn't
finish what he started?

Did you find any fingerprints
or DNA samples on the alarm?

We took all of them, sir.

Have you called the relatives
of the victim? Or anyone?

Defne Andıç, his daughter.
We are trying to reach her.

Hello?

Am I speaking with Defne Andıç?

It's me.

Ms Defne, I am calling
from the police department.

I am superintendent Çınar Demir.

My condolences.

Whenever you are ready...

The death occurred between


There is a ring-shaped lesion on
the neck, but the cause of death...

...seems to be blood loss due to
both carotid artery cuts...

...at first glance. I'll know it
for sure after the autopsy.

Do you have any idea
about the m*rder weapon?

Atypical.

Besides the ring-shaped lesion,
a single object created...

...two symmetrical holes.

It's not two different blows,
you know. But take a look at this.

If he pierced his carotids, the man
would have surrendered his soul...

...in 40, 45 seconds anyway but
after the first perforations...

...both carotids were torn
proximally really bad.

It seems like it was
pulled from behind.

as*h*le!

He tortured him.

Hey! Stop!
Where do you think you are going?

What the hell
are you talking about?

Akın, let go of my arm!
You are even lying here!

Weren't you the one
who threatened my father?

What! Threatening him?

I said I wanted to talk to you
but you didn't want to talk to me.

I don't know why we
can't talk with each other.

Stop shouting and
let go of my arm!

Hey!

-What's going on here?
-Who the hell are you, man?

Stay out of it!
Good God!

I am a cop, man.

How do you know Rıfat Andıç?

It looks like you don't know me.

My name is Akın Saka.

Your chief knows me, actually.
AKS Holding.

This is not the chamber of
commerce. It's forensics.

-How do you know the victim?
-He is my ex-husband.

What about that threat thing?

Last week, he went to
see my dad at his shop.

He yelled at him and
he threatened him.

She is lying, officer.

My wife is grieving at the moment,
she doesn't know...

...what she is saying.
I didn't threat anyone.

I see.

Come with me then.
Let's have a word with you.

We'll decide if you
threatened him or not.

-Come on, follow me.
-Good God!

We'll talk later.

I went to see father Rıfat
last week. That's correct.

We have an ongoing custody case
but you saw it with your own eyes.

It's impossible to have a
decent conversation with Defne.

So, I decided to have
a word with father Rıfat.

We just had a chat.

I did not threaten him,
it's just bullshit.

We didn't even
argue with each other.

What were you doing yesterday
between 22.00 and 24.00?

Wait a minute!

Are you going to blame me?

Are you sure?

Good God!

I was having dinner
with my secretary.

We were at the restaurant,
Harun's Table.

And then, one of my colleagues
from the news channel called me.

After they told me what happened,
I went to see Defne.

What's your secretary's name?

Ceyda, Ceyda Tatar.

Let me give her a call.

So, she can come here
and tell you everything.

No need for that.

We can call her
if it is necessary.

Okay, if you don't have
any other questions for me...

We'll call you if we need
to question you again.

If necessary.

Actually, you shouldn't
even bother but...

What did you eat?

At the Harun's Table?

Meat, kebab, the usual stuff.

What did you drink?

I had rakı and
my secretary had wine.

Is that all, officer?

Thank you.

Enjoy.

Did he admit that
he threatened my father?

Of course, he didn't.

God knows what he told you.

I am sure, he squirmed
out of it like a snake.

Did you ask him
where he was when my father died?

Ms Defne, we have to
question everyone...

...who is linked to this case.

Where were you between


Ms Defne and I were
in a meeting together.

Koray Gülümser, I am her lawyer.

Where was the meeting?

We did it over the internet.

I was at home.

Your daughter?

She was with me.

What do you think the
m*rder*r looked for at the shop?

I have no idea.

It's a used-book shop
at the end of the day.

There is nothing but books.

I think the books on the top floor
was special, right?

I think so.

They are about Ottoman medicine
and history of medicine.

It was his field of interest.

Did he get a valuable
work of art lately?

I don't think so.
I would know if he did.

He used to love telling me about it
whenever he got something special.

So, if he had a valuable piece,
where would he keep it...

...in the shop or in his house?
Did he have a safe?

No.

Officer, if you don't have
any other questions...

...please don't tire
my client anymore.

Do you know the passcode
of the alarm system?

Yes, of course, I do.

Sir, I talked with
the other shop owners.

They said Akın threatened
the victim a few days ago.

Thank you, Ms Defne,
you can leave now.

We'll call you if we have
more questions for you.

My condolences.

Thank you.

-Where is Elif?
-Don't worry, I called İbrahim.

Thanks.

Come in, come in, come in.

-Is Elif okay?
-She is okay, she is okay.

She just went to bed and
I am cooking some food.

My condolences.

Thanks.

Thanks.

-Didn't she say anything yet?
-No, she didn't.

How are you?

You didn't fly here, did you?

It was very tiring, man.

Come on, let's put it in bed too.

Let's tuck it in.

Do you want me to
sing a lullaby for you?

Sleep now, my love, sleep now.

Sleep now, my dear, sleep now.

Sir, Defne Andıç filed for
domestic abuse...

...before she filed for divorce
but she couldn't prove it.

On contrary, there is a report
in the file saying that...

...her husband Akın Saka
was battered by her.

Witnesses also confirmed
Akın's story.

They are currently having a lawsuit
for the custody of their daughter.

Sir, we have the results
of the fingerprint analysis.

There was nothing on the business
card but the prints on the alarm...

...and the glass match.

What about the security footage?

Let me explain, sir.

There are no CCTV's on
the street where the shop is.

What about those ones?

Didn't you find
anything on those?

We checked them too.

Like you said, we also scanned
the vehicles that are registered...

...to Akın Saka and Defne Andıç.
They didn't match.

What was the name of
Akın's company?

Anyway, find it out for me.

I want all the vehicles that are
registered to that company, okay?

Check all the CCTVs and see if any
of them was caught on the camera.

Yes, sir.

Fırat, what are you looking for?
Don't you know what to do?

What do you want me to do, sir?

Okay, Defne Andıç!

I am off!
I am leaving right now.

Mr Çınar, I am really sorry.

I hope I didn't keep
you waiting for so long.

It's not a problem.

What happened?

Did you find anything
about the m*rder*r?

Rıfat Andıç, do you know him?

Who is he?

Did he k*ll him?

He was m*rder*d last night.

His shop was turned upside down.

He had historical artifacts
in his shop just like you do.

Ibn Sina, Ottoman medicine,
history of medicine.

Were there any original
books amongst them?

What did they steal exactly?

We don't know that yet.

But they were valuable books.
We are still investigating.

Check this out.

The values vary according to the
year of publication...

...and how they were preserved.
And there are also books...

...that are rumoured to be lost.

If you come across one of them...

...the history of medicine
can be rewritten.

But unfortunately, there is
no such book amongst them.

Emir!

Catch him!

Emir!

Catch him!

Emir!

Okay.

Okay.

He is harmless.

He is harmless.

He wouldn't hurt anyone.

-He is just a child.
-He didn't see me.

He didn't take his pill today,
that's all. Come on.

Come on!
Come on, come on, Emir.

Come on.

He didn't see me.
He had his back turned.

He didn't see me because
he had his back turned.

Just like an owl.

Nurse Aysun,
what's going on here?

It's taken care of, Mrs Oya.

Emir won't skip taking his pills.

Right, Emir?

Sir, they don't have any security
cameras at the restaurant...

...where Akın Saka had dinner.

They said it was disturbing
their VIP customers.

But I got a copy of his bill.

Okay.

Sir, he threatened the victim and
there has been a long animosity...

...between them due
to the custody case.

Son, didn't you find the woman's
bloody fingerprint on the alarm?

What else do you need?

If Defne Andıç k*lled him,
why did she ring the alarm...

...and called the cops?

The shop was turned upside down.

It's obvious that the m*rder*r
was looking for something.

Defne has a key.
She would enter the shop quietly...

...she would take whatever
she wanted and leave the shop.

We found blood marks on the books
but we couldn't find...

...any fingerprints.
This is not a simple case.

Çınar, listen, son.

Sometimes it is quite simple, son.

You with me?

Let's see what we have got.

Go and question her.
Ask her why was she there?

What was she doing?
Where did she touch?

Where didn't she touch?

Huh!

Sir, I'll question her.

I'll question her but maybe
Defne Andıç witnessed the m*rder...

...but she is afraid to tell.

-Let me first question Akın Saka...
-Hold on, hold on.

Listen, don't question
Akın Saka if you are not sure.

He knows some powerful people.

He might call some bigwigs
and they would give us a call...

...and sh*t on your heads.

Just so you know.

Sir, what did he say?

He said not to question him if
we don't have a hard evidence.

Why did you k*ll that man?

I beg your pardon?

Why did you k*ll that man?

Didn't I warn you an hour ago?

Huh?

Didn't I tell you
about bigwigs, son?

Didn't I tell you
he knew some powerful people?

Huh, Çınar?

Didn't I tell you, son?

Huh!
Here we go!

Hello!

I am listening, sir.

Okay.

He asked me why I k*lled that man!
What are we waiting for?

-It's okay but...
-No, nothing is okay!

Sit down.

Sit down.

Officer, are you going to
charge him with anything?

Yes.

You lied to us.

We have witness statements
confirming that you threatened...

...Rıfat Andıç 3 days ago.
Here, you can take a look.

You lied to us.

You went to the restaurant
later than you told us.

The first order was placed
at 23.18.

When the did the alarm go off?



Yes.

On the night of the incident,
you have seen nearby...

...in a vehicle registered to your
company, at around 22.20.

And we have a picture of you here.

You look really handsome on it.

Is that you?

So, what, brother?

So, what?

I can't communicate
with that crazy woman, so...

...I went to talk to his father.
What's wrong with that?

And I offered him money to
get my daughter's custody.

Stay out of it!
Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!
Stay out of this.

I did what every father
would do, okay?

And I don't regret anything.

I couldn't even stay there
for 10 minutes. He snapped at me.

He said some bullshit
and he kicked me out.

I didn't k*ll that stupid dotard!

Akın Saka, you are the suspect of
Rıfat Andıç's m*rder.

You'll stay here with us
for a few days.

We'll send your file to
the prosecutor tomorrow.

Aren't you going to do anything?
Aren't you say something?

-But you don't listen to us.
-Why are you here then?

We'll fix it.
We'll fix it, okay.

Sit down, sit down.

Son! You didn't bring
any dried aubergines here.

Brother, these are enough for me.

No.

Hey, bring some salted tunny
as well.

Don't forget to bring red opinion.

I just made the salted tunny, man.
It's delicious, you know.

Thank you
but I would be fine with mackerel.

Son, salted tunny is our
traditional starter, man.

Forget about mackerel.

Come on.

Rest in peace, Hüseyin.

Your son is just like you.

Did you know that?

Is that Su?

Brother, she is not answering
my calls.

I text her but she doesn't read it.

She is so stubborn.

She is a grown up woman, son.

Leave her alone.

You can't tell her
what to do after a point.

I mean, it is her life.

It's her rights, it's her wrongs.
That's all.

She will make some mistakes.

She will learn from them
and she will find her own way.

If you can't trust her,
how could she trust herself, son?

Come on!

Come on!

Hello?

Sir, I lost her.

Where are you?

I am driving towards centre
of Ürgüp from Paşabağı.

She must be on her
way to the old book shop.

Fırat, step on it, okay!
Don't go in there alone.

Wait for me.
I am on my way.
