ZONE 6

THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE

NEAREST AEI CONTACT POIN

I held her hand tight,

and through her lips

flowed into another world.

No time.

No meaning.

Just a feeling.

A feeling I'd forgotten for years.

We're almost there.

CAUTION! JABBERER INSIDE KEEP OUT!

- STAY AWAY

When's the last time you came here?

Too long ago.

CAUTION

UNSUPERVISED ZONE

Thank you for your help.

Back at the subway station.

I'd be in handcuffs

if it wasn't for you. You know?

You can still find old-school simit

around these parts.

Here.

Maybe you could help me find

a missing friend of mine.

Do you need to find them before you eat?

Who are you?

Şule.

That's me.

Hearing her name

lights my soul ablaze.

Şule

Light.

Candle.

Flare.

Torch.

A blazing light.

Spark.

Like the burning of a torch.

The flame of the soul's candle

cannot be contained by the bell glass

that is the heavens.

Have some tea.

I find up here I can clear my head.

The warning signs, I thought they were

That's me, I wrote them.

So that people stay away.

Oh.

You know, in theory, you could

start jabbering by listening to music.

Oh no, it's just a theory.

So don't worry.

That pen.

Hm?

The, um

You tied your hair up, just like the day

I saw you at the bus stop.

And you got a makeover.

Well, I had to.

Hmm? What? Are you not gonna tell me?

Where do I start?

My name's Murat.

I know about you.

You read the letter? That how you know me?

I'm gonna level with you, Murat.

Many of us have heard of you

and want to meet you.

We've been trying

to contact you for a while.

That's because we need you to help us.

Are you with the AEI?

Who sent you after me? Tell me.

AEI?

Would I have bothered

to save you if I were with them?

Murat, I'm not with them.

But Plus 1 really needs your help.

Everyone is so excited to see you.

I don't know what you've heard,

but I'm not who you think I am.

- Murat, please. Murat!

- No.

Murat, wait a minute!

Murat!

Murat.

- Leave me alone.

- Murat, wait, please.

Go away.

Murat, just let me explain.

REMEMBER KOCAELİ

Murat! Stop!

You have to listen to me.

Look, we really need your help.

No. Please go away.

Marvelous to infinite

It's a looming danger through Venus

What are you doing?

Have you gone mad? Huh?

Jabbering sound like fun to you?

Take these.

Look, I know you don't need

these headphones, Murat.

But we do.

I can't help you.

Murat, Plus 1 is working

to come up with a cure for the dise

Tell me, then.

How Plus 1's gonna stop

the AEI from tracking me down.

I don't know what you know about me,

but you really screwed up.

I'm not the one you want, okay?

Yeah?

Well, I believe you are that person.

ASK THE KID WITH THE MIRROR ABOUT ME

Find me. We can help you.

Okay?

Have I always been like this?

How could I be this gullible?

How could I ever let a hope

like this grow inside me again?

I want to sleep.

I just want to sleep.

And be the old me when I wake up.

ZONE 6

QUARANTINE RELIEF

RELIEF COORDINATION

What's up?

QUARANTINE

- How are things?

- Going great.

Is Arif around?

No, I'd ask Melisa.

Oh, gotcha.

Okay, good luck, guys.

THE REAL DISEASE IS THE AEI

REMEMBER KOCAELİ

- How are you, Melisa?

- Good, thanks.

Hey, is Arif somewhere?

- Inside. We're loading everything up.

- Oh good. I'll take this one.

KOCAELİ

ZONE 6

REMEMBER KOCAELİ

Arif.

Yeah? Did you meet with him already?

Yeah, Murat's inside

the sixth zone right now.

But he said he's looking for someone.

Can you tell me who it is?

I'd ask him that question directly, Şule.

Because I can't tell you anything else.

Forgive me.

It's not a big deal.

But maybe you can help me with something.

A man approached me on my way here.

He had Plus 1's address

written one of his arms.

He kept asking questions.

I don't know who or what he is.

Can you tell Aslı that, please?

'Cause one of her men saw him as well.

Maybe she'll take a look at it.

You know we're not on good terms.

Sure, I'll handle it.

- Will you be at tonight's group meeting?

- Yeah.

Blowing a giant hole in that wall

sure got us some attention.

We should keep that up.

You've got to stop letting them

tell you what to do. It's bullshit.

Listen to Can's broadcast tonight.

I'll be on it.

Mm-hm.

what will you say when

you are called to account for your sins?

And make your peace the Lord

Derya?

Did you know the bird escaped its cage?

Derya.

Did you know the bird

escaped its cage today?

It didn't escape.

I let it out.

Nothing's gonna happen to us.

Please stop worrying.

- Do you mind if I take a look at that?

- No.

It could be important. Sorry.

It's the council group?

Yes.

Before the end of the week,

they're going to cut off

the internet for a while.

Just today there are more

than 1,200 cases.

Derya.

Look. Look at me. Shh.

- Baby

- Mm-hmm?

Listen, we'll be at Artur's

at the end of September.

We'll watch the sunset

at Tutor's in Martı.

- Okay?

- Mm-hm.

Shh.

We might have

some raki left in the fridge.

We'll stay covered in salt

and have dinner in our swimsuits.

And have sardines.

- And eat fava beans.

- That's right.

It'll happen. Promise.

Mm-hm.

AEI

Let's talk.

A man from our Operations unit

is chasing someone

that he believes

is not affected by the disease.

He is almost certain

that the guy is immune.

The guy he's after

worked on Özgür Çağlar's team.

Murat Siyavuş.

Does that name ring a bell?

It could be the infamous Patient X.

PROJECT X RESEARCH TEAM

MURAT SİYAVUŞ

This requires discreet methods.

We need to find this guy

as quickly as we can.

This was a b*tch to find.

Keep your eyes on that guy.

They're howling "Suat" inside the bureau.

Those dogs!

PEACE WILL PREVAIL

ARDS PATIENT ROOM 1

Incoming patient!

CAUTION!

WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMEN

Incoming!

Put your headphones on!

Incoming patient! Headphones!

Şule!

I wasn't expecting you alone today.

What about the guy?

I helped get him into the sixth zone.

But I have no idea where he is now.

Also

He's being hunted by the AEI.

- Oh no.

- And you know for sure?

That he's immune to ARDS, yeah?

Um, I'm not completely sure yet.

But don't worry, I will convince Murat.

And he'll help us, I assure you.

ROOM FOR REN

DAILY/WEEKLY RENTALS

Hey, brother, where have you been?

- It's been years since I last saw you.

- What? What are you saying?

- What are you

- Move! Move!

What's going on?! Let me go!

Anton wanted this footage

from the cameras.

It's footage of a suspect

spotted in the subway station.

What are you doing here?

Didn't I warn you, Anton?

Hmm? Do you know

what could happen if Fazıl sees these?

WANTED

Look, I'll take over the Siyavuş file.

If anything comes up,

AEI will do everything

in its power to find him.

Understood.

Is that it?

What kind of animal are you, Anton?

b*stard. How could you?

You won't even look me in the eye now.

You're a coward.

It's nothing to do with you.

I'm warning you for the last time.

"WE'RE HAVING RAKI

WITH ERTEM KANATLI TONIGHT."

AEI

ZONE 6 CONTACT POIN

PETITIONS ARE COLLECTED ON FRIDAYS

Get the f*ck outta here!

And don't show your face here again!

b*stards!

They would have stolen it

if I didn't hear them.

Come in.

Those b*stards have

banned the rally, can you believe that?

I mailed in the signatures.

And I'll do it every week if I have to.

But I have no idea how we'll pull it off.

If I knew you were coming,

I'd have made potato pastries for you.

They're your favorite.

So, tell me.

You find that man you're looking for?

- Yes.

- Oh?

Yeah. Well, I may

have scared him a little bit.

You went

and dropped the b*mb on him, right?

What else could I do?

Dakota!

Oh, I swear to you,

this cat is really cheeky.

They push and they prod.

And in the end,

Dakota gets what she wants.

Huh?

It's just too bad

Dakota wasn't there to help.

You have this light inside. Just share it.

You need to go by what you feel.

Listen, this will be our frequency

for tonight. Don't miss it.

Tonight's broadcast

will be about your grandson.

I need to ask you for a favor.

The year my Engin died,

I started to grow a rose.

Now it's all grown.

Say I give it to you,

would you reunite it with the earth? Hm?

You called me, sir?

The Murat Siyavuş case.

Is there anything new?

I've obtained footage of the subject

entering the subway downtown.

- We've got him.

- Proceed with haste.

Put an end to this, Canan.

Understood.

Let me go!

Who are you?

Screw you! Let me go! Get off me!

Stop squirming.

Are you with the AEI?

Am I with the AEI?

For the last time, who are you?

And what are you doing here?

Name's Murat. I'm looking

for a friend in the sixth zone.

No, no, no, no!

Murat? Hey, stop!

Aslı, what're you doing?

Is this the guy who was following you?

Are you kidding me? No, of course not.

He's my friend Murat. Let him go!

Hey, let him go!

Are you okay? You okay, Murat?

I'm sorry about this, I am.

Ah, bravo, Aslı!

- We took him because you said

- Enough, Aslı. Come on.

Maybe you're the one who's after me.

Don't just stand there, untie him!

This is outrageous!

Would you take a look at him?

Are you okay, Murat?

Come on. Let's go.

I'm really sorry about this, Murat.

Murat, I really had no idea about this.

They always do this.

What kind of people are they?

Oh wait

I think she might be able

to help you with this. Aslı.

So, Murat's been looking

for a friend in this region.

Uh maybe you can help find him.

And maybe we can put

this unfortunate mistake to good use.

Huh?

Uh, Murat?

The person who made these pills.

They said they were sold in this zone.

We'll ask around.

Good to see you.

You can just kidnap me

if you need anything.

Hey, listen.

You were right.

But I was afraid

I would never see you again.

I'm still not the guy

you're looking for, Şule.

Can we please just start things over?

Please.

Hi, Murat. I'm Şule.

And yes. I did read your letter.

And no, I didn't know

that there was a snowdrop

across from the bus stop.

THERE'S NO YOU, THERE'S NO ME

THERE'S PLUS 1

Şule!

Come on, we're starting.

Come with me.

Yeah. Let's go.

are willing to sneak inside

and rush headlong into danger

headphones, flashlights,

batteries, pocketknives, tools

I've listened to these broadcasts

This is Plus 1 Radio.

And here is Nocturnal Chitchat.

On the days

when listening is banned,

greetings to everyone

who has their ears on us.

My guest today is a living icon.

For all those who oppose the AEI,

she is a symbol of hope,

who knew very well our beloved brother,

our fallen comrade,

Engin Gökhanlı,

who we lost at a very young age.

If you'll allow me,

I'll not introduce her with her real name.

How should we address you?

Call me the girl who is waiting

at the inactive bus stop.

All right, the girl who's waiting

at the inactive bus stop, tell us.

How was Engin in person?

How did you guys meet?

Engin and I met in high school.

Funny.

He was different.

His eyes were filled with joy.

And he wasn't one to back down

from saying what he believed,

or stay quiet in the face of wrongdoings.

It was the beginning of his illness

when we fell in love.

Childlike and pure.

I'll never forget.

First, they cut off the internet.

Then schools stopped, and then

other restrictions followed.

That meant we could barely see each other.

From something as naive as that

was born our hatred of the AEI.

Then the AEI began.

They gave up

on calling everyone human beings.

They gathered and closed them off

behind walls without food or water.

The AEI thought they were just jabberers

to be discarded when necessary.

They used their power to make

the rest of society think the same thing.

We could never find a way

to come to terms with it.

And we said, "Jabberers exist."

We started to join small protests.

And then we founded Plus 1.

We wanted solidarity, cooperation,

and to be treated like human beings.

And when we decided to resist,

we stepped out on the front lines

so that we could protest

the inhumane methods of the AEI.

Then

they struck back at us with real b*ll*ts,

shot at us.

But his eyes were still full of hope.

He didn't blink.

'Cause he had things to say.

Injustices he knew he had to stand up to.

He should've had more time with us.

His family didn't deserve that.

Engin is in the great beyond now.

But we carry his memory.

And his hope.

We hold on to that hope

even with the dark times

that we're living in.

We're going to find a way

to overcome this disease.

No matter what anyone says,

there is still hope for humanity.

The day he died,

Engin's grandmother Suzan,

she planted a rose.

Now that rose is entrusted to me.

I will plant it in the soil

on the anniversary of the Kocaeli events.

Even if my hands bleed,

even if the thorns tear my palms,

I will hold that rose tight

and unite it with the earth.

It will grow every day.

Eventually it will cover up

a building of its very own.

And the roots will grow

so strong in the ground,

no one will ever rip them out.

And that whole site will be Engin's grave.

We hope to see you on brighter days

when everything is different.

Good night, everyone.

This is how a torch

could light a fire in the darkness.

Could a woman's light

be the hope for an entire city?

Şule. That's a beautiful name.

School.

What?

It means "school" in German.

Welcome. Welcome, sir.

We're honored to have you.

Please. Please, sit.

Ah, after you.

What can I get you?

We'll have raki and some feta cheese

and roasted chickpeas to go with it.

Of course. Right away.

Ertem.

- We should name your raki.

- Just go and find that liver for me first.

It's been an hour! Get it! Go! Go!

Is Ertem's liver coming up?

Come and get it.

How is it? Should I try it?

What's that?

I'm asking about the liver.

Is it any good here?

Saim makes an epic liver dish.

If this is your first time here,

I highly recommend it.

Then enjoy it.

Please have some.

Taste the raki too. I made it.

Do you also sign your raki with "E.K."?

Huh?

Murat Siyavuş.

He's your patient.

I don't know It sounds familiar.

It's possible.

However, I haven't taken a patient

in some time now.

Don't try to fool me, Doctor.

You're seeing patients and Murat.

No need to make a scene here.

Please, Doctor.

We don't want to tire ourselves out.

We have a research team working with us.

And they're trying to look into ARDS

from a different perspective.

PEACE WILL PREVAIL

Using methods

that are different from the AEI's.

And if we join forces,

it would give us a chance

to come up with a cure.

A real possibility.

Şule, you know that's not why I'm here.

Please.

Before today, no one had even met someone

who is even

a little bit immune to jabbering.

Certainly not someone who thought

about it scientifically like you, Murat.

You say I'm immune. How do you know?

You seem so sure of whatever

those people told you.

Tell me.

It's Arif, right?

But aren't you immune?

Um

I'm not sure if what I have

could be called an immunity.

I don't know the limit

to my head's temperature.

What, the temperature of your head?

When I'm exposed to jabbering,

my head heats up.

What do you mean?

A high temperature just in the head.

That was the first diagnosis

in the emergency room.

My fever rises rapidly,

only in the cranial area.

How did this start?

Call it a side effect.

Well, it couldn't be just by chance.

A gift.

From an old friend.

Özgür Çağlar.

Do you know Özgür?

But wasn't he put in charge of Project X?

They said he died in the fire.

Or maybe he survived.

I'm here to find Özgür, Şule.

Sir.

Who do you think Murat

is looking for in the sixth zone?

I don't know.

Wait, honey. Hold on, hold on.

Come on, easy, easy.

Where did you find this?

Are you sure

you want to hear that, Fazıl?

Fresh air feels better.

You'd be much safer

crashing at Plus 1 tonight, you know.

No, I'll find a place.

Let's assume Özgür is alive and well

and you find him.

What're you gonna do?

I have questions to ask him.

Jabberers incoming.

You wanna see it?

Do you want to? Put on your headphones.

Whoo!

You are a candle!

A torch!

Blazing light!

It means school, Şule! Yes!

Morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

The research team I told you about.

Nice to meet you.

This is Viktor,

Ayşe, and I'm Erkin.

Professor Can you already know.

Murat.

We already know you.

We've all been waiting to meet you.

We've been trying

to find a cure for years.

Lately we've been working on

mirror neurons, the semantic brain,

- and the damage in the Wernicke region.

- Şule, what's this all about?

This is the best research team anywhere,

and I wanted you to meet them.

Hello, everyone. Good luck.

Excuse me.

Şule said you were immune.

Is it true?

Maybe you could

have our scientific support

to harness that power you have.

That is, if you decide to work with us,

you'll need our help to do that.

You're wasting your time.

You'll never find a cure.

Whatever you're working on,

I'm sure there's been

plenty of research on it.

And to be honest,

this A-Team act is ridiculous.

Are you really walking away?

Şule.

This man is

He's a clown.

What are you on about?

Sir

Are you not aware of your condition?

You don't jabber, isn't that right?

I mean, you hear jabberings,

listen to jabberings,

but you don't jabber.

And then he says, "There is no cure."

How would you know

anything about my condition?

All right.

Tell us. So that we know.

Murat, we need your help.

Maybe we could help you in return.

And, well

We've been keeping our own secrets too.

I don't want to hear

about any more secrets.

We've acquired a test subject.

A very high-level jabberer.

Could be a level six.

Stop this.

You have no idea what you're messing with.

Come on. Neither do you.

People could die. It's too dangerous.

Dangerous Da!

Which is why

it's important that you help us.

Murat.

Murat!

Look, I already told you.

I want no part of this.

Whatever those lunatics come up with

doesn't matter to me,

but this is dangerous.

Murat, these people are out here

putting themselves on the line for us

to find a cure.

The least you can do is listen to them.

Maybe.

What?

Maybe. I said maybe.

I'll think about giving them a chance

if you help me find Özgür.

I got something on your pills.

Apparently, they're being distributed

from the mob district.

My sources mentioned a hotel.

The hotel is in Aksaray. Let's go.

What I wanted was to hang out

There's a woman in here.

Why didn't you tell me there was a woman?

You should have told me

there was a woman, huh?

Would you step aside, sister? Step aside.

I buy tapes from him,

he had one of those.

- It is.

then you should record in analog.

You're not playing tricks on me, are you?

No, I'm telling you the truth. I promise.

- There's someone we're looking for.

- Who?

The person who made these pills

Nice to see you.

And everything is in here?

Even the ones for my dad?

Yes, baby.

The other delivery's complete.

Great.

For you.

We're looking for

the person that made these pills.

That is Lazarus.

Come again?

The king, the king, the king!

Everything!

He's got it all. Real good stuff.

And the hot stuff that was just here?

Yasemin?

Well, she's Lazarus's front.

Only way to reach him is through her.

- That's his rule.

- Wait a minute!
