A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
I know that every darkness we pass through leads to light,
and each night leads to day.
As long as we don't doubt the power of hope.
Day comes, and light rises again.
Life starts all over again with every reunion.
The pieces that had fallen apart come together. They become one.
Lives and families are rebuilt once again.
The hard thing is to heal,
to be partners in silence,
and to understand each other without speaking.
It takes effort to hear the voice of your heart.
Shams says, "Patience is to look at the thorn and see the rose."
It takes time for a crescent moon to grow full.
It's like a miracle, isn't it?
She's finally here. We're all together.
We're one big family.
She's been back a while, but she's still distant.
She called to us. Let's give her a little time.
She'll accept us all once she realizes how much we love her.
That's true. I know you'll win her heart too.
Everything will be alright in time.
I'm sure of it.
Come on, let's bring out the food, Atiye.
Did you find anything, Dad?
No, son.
Whoever did it, it was a clean job.
They've been working on it for days. There's not a single trace.
Now I'm getting the autopsy reports examined,
maybe that will show us something.
Everything seems so clear to me.
What about you? Did you tell Atiye about Serdar?
No.
She doesn't need to know that right now.
Don't you think about it anymore, either.
Whatever you did, you did it for your daughter.
Stay away from it, too.
Dad, I won't rest until I find out what they want from her.
You forced him, you pushed him. He didn't talk. What more can you do?
What if they come again?
Let them come, son. We won't just roll over and play dead.
Take care of your daughter.
Forget about all this, okay?
Have you spoken to Cansu recently?
No.
Something has happened to her since we found Aden.
It's as if she suddenly changed.
Why don't you talk to her?
You know our relationship has its limits.
So?
I can talk to her.
Of course I can.
-Erhan, let me have some of that. -Here you go.
-Give me some too. -Here honey, you first.
-Taste it. -It looks very nice. Take it, honey.
Aden.
Look what I sewed for you.
Did you like it?
I made it myself.
Okay.
-Are we making a bouquet of roses? -Does anybody want some lemonade?
I'd love some.
She makes delicious lemonade.
Aden?
Did you sew that? How pretty.
I did.
It's by her paternal aunt, the world-famous designer.
Let's say maternal aunt.
Let's say that, but she hasn't even looked at it yet.
I think she'd like to wear it on a special occasion. Hm?
Can we at least see what it would look like on her?
Aden, it's okay. I stopped.
Honey.
We're all a family,
and we want the best for you.
Now, our bodies are together, like our souls.
Please let me in.
You know, I think she has a problem with me.
How can that be? You're her mother.
Ozan said he was trying to protect her.
Maybe…
Please, I don't want to hear his name in this house.
Our daughter is the way she is because of him.
It could have been me in your place, or someone else.
But she only looked into my eyes.
I saw the pain inside her.
It's not anger. She's hurt.
If I knew what the problem was, I'd behave accordingly.
But she doesn't want this, she's running away.
I can't see her soul without her consent.
I need to win her love first. Then maybe she'll let me in again.
I think we should look into that prophecy.
I'm sure many secrets about our daughter are hidden there.
Thank you.
Do you miss her?
No.
I'm just worried about her.
There's nothing we can do.
You knew how difficult this path was from the beginning.
Your father started all of this.
His greed and insatiability
broke us apart.
I wanted to run away, save myself.
He didn't leave me any choice other than suicide, Ozan.
No, I mean…
I don't get it.
Dad did everything for you.
-He loved you so much. -Did he make you believe that?
Your father was a liar and a crook.
He also used you.
How are you here?
They're protecting me, Ozan.
I know it's ridiculous…
I mean…
I don't know how to tell you, but…
Ozan.
Death is not the end, but an interlude.
Really.
They took me out of that interlude.
Who did?
It's very difficult, I know. It's hard to understand.
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
But the thing is…
Ozan, it turns out there are miracles in life.
Miracles.
There are powers beyond what we think we know.
Really, you'll see when the time comes.
But I ask one thing from you until then.
Stand by me.
Let's walk together.
Hold my hand.
Please.
Just like when you were little.
Okay.
Now, we're at the end of the road.
Aden…
chose to be by her mother's side instead of guiding us.
Thankfully, you won't be separated from her for long.
We can't let go of her completely.
We need her power and knowledge.
We need to be more careful from now on.
You must get close to them, gain their trust.
Never let her out of your sight.
I hope they let me in.
It doesn't matter about them, only Aden.
And you raised her.
She has a bond with you.
Aden is the only person Atiye can't say no to.
It's enough if she just sees you.
Well…
Erhan…
Erhan.
Erhan is tough.
We have some leverage against him.
I know.
Did you like your room?
We were always thinking about you, and had this room ready for you.
Do you like it?
I made that for you.
Look, there's this, too.
Do you want to do some painting?
That pine cone you added really helped us.
You can use anything you want in here.
I don't know if you like painting,
but when I was your age, I would paint whenever I got bored.
Suddenly I could get away from the real world.
I'd watch myself from the outside, and feel happy.
I'll give you some space.
Mr. Mustafa?
Welcome. Please, come in. Let's go inside.
No. I'll keep it short.
I'm here to warn you.
Stay away from the girl, and from my family, alright?
If you don't, I will show no mercy.
-Mr. Mustafa, look-- -Stop talking!
Listen to me.
Look, son, you're still young.
But I've lived long enough.
I have nothing to lose in this life, other than my family.
If any harm comes to them,
I'll come and kill you.
I'll destroy you.
And I won't even look back.
That's why
you need to watch your step.
So that neither of us gets hurt.
Get it?
I get it.
Good.
If you get it, then that's okay.
Umut, it's me, Erhan. There's nothing to worry about.
I have good news!
Erhan, why have you come back?
We found our daughter.
The girl in your dreams.
What the hell?
I'm going to fuck you up.
Where the hell are you?
Fucking bastard.
Answer the phone!
So? What do you want from me?
Can you help me translate?
-I can't. I don't know this language-- -You do. Umut, you do know it.
You found and translated everything in this file.
My friend said that this language had different levels.
My knowledge isn't enough. Maybe…
Maybe yours is.
Just a couple of sentences.
Nobody will know.
Let's go.
-Where? -To Aden.
To your savior. Seeing her may do you good.
No, I don't want to.
Maybe seeing you will be good for her, too.
Enough!
I said I didn't want to!
What does everyone want from me?
I'm fine here. I don't want to go out.
I don't want to be outside, okay?
My God…
You never leave this place.
I mean, you said so the other day.
You said you shut yourself off after the wreckage.
But I didn't realize you meant inside this shop.
Three years.
Wow.
That's tough.
Very tough.
Okay.
I'll do my best, but I'm not promising anything. Okay?
Can you leave now?
The stars are shining
Your eyes are sleepy
You close your beautiful eyes too
My gorgeous child
The stars are shining
Your eyes are sleepy
You close your beautiful eyes too
My gorgeous child
Aden!
What are you doing here?
I was worried about Aden.
Can I see her quickly? Then I'll go.
Of course.
It's all good.
I'll come back again.
I'm sorry. I should go.
Have some tea, since you're here.
Okay.
You shouldn't have come here.
She has a temper.
If you go against her, she gets stubborn, and won't eat, drink, or even sleep.
Once she acclimatizes, once you both acclimatize,
she'll do it less and less.
If there's an emergency, I can help out, if you want.
This is the last time. You can't come again.
Okay. Of course. You're right. I mean…
I…
I raised her.
I mean, I know her rhythm, everything about her.
I nursed her when she got sick.
I don't want to leave her in case she needs me.
I know it's hard, but…
Please, you can trust me.
You broke that trust by keeping quiet, hiding things.
How can I trust you, Ozan?
Ask me. What do you want to know?
How I joined them, for example?
Actually…
I didn't really have any other option.
Serdar always said that, too.
Is it my daughter's turn now?
Who's behind you?
I don't know. I've never seen them.
They talk through screens and middlemen. I've never seen their faces.
I didn't ask questions. Our communication isn't like that. It's more like…
obedience.
Like my father.
But…
they asked one thing from me.
To protect her.
She's safe with her mother now.
You can relax.
Do you think all mothers are sacred? Are they all good?
Don't you think there are mothers who upset and harm their children?
I will not be one of them, Ozan. You can be sure of that.
I think you should ask Aden that.
She has a gift.
She can hold perhaps thousands of years of information
about the mothers and women of your lineage in her memory.
It goes back to Göbekli Tepe.
How can that be?
She's your child.
And you're after her memory and the things she knows.
No, I'm not after anything, Atiye.
All I want is for her to be okay.
She was very well taken care of. You can be sure of that.
She wanted you. She was determined.
But my duty is still to protect her.
Even from you.
What are you doing here?
-I was visiting my daughter. -What do you mean by that?
Erhan! Please, what are you doing?
He wants to help us.
You want to help? Then tell us everything.
Tell the truth!
You can't talk because you're still someone's pawn!
That's what you are.
Get out of here!
Go!
I'm not anyone's pawn, Erhan. I'm trying to do what's right.
That's why I brought Aden.
If I was someone's pawn, do you think you'd be able to see her?
And my father is gone, you can be sure of that.
Wait a minute. What happened to Serdar?
Didn't you tell her?
Ask him.
Fine, I'll tell her. May I?
They found Serdar's body near a shipyard a few days ago.
Erhan.
You knew they were after him, right?
Even though he knew that, he kept meeting him.
They followed him and found Serdar.
Anyway, I'm sure there's a silver lining.
Maybe you understand why I came here today.
I didn't want to leave Aden.
I know I'm not her father, but she is my daughter.
-She's not your daughter. -Erhan!
Moron.
Son of a bitch.
I won't cry.
Son of a bitch.
Moron! I won't cry.
Isn't Dad home yet?
Would you like some Serap instead?
Thanks, but no.
Isn't it too late for this?
Let me be.
I'll take care of myself.
How is she?
She doesn't want to leave her room.
Erhan, what was that about?
She had just started opening up.
We had started communicating, and look what happened.
We need to gain her trust.
But I can't tell if we trust each other. Why did you hide that from me?
Are we going to fight because of him?
No, but I'd have treated him differently if I'd known his dad was dead.
Ozan is not a bad person. He's lost.
Atiye.
That man kept our daughter for eight years.
How is he not bad?
I don't trust him one bit.
I don't trust him either, but that doesn't change the facts.
He lost his dad. He's trying to change.
You really believe this guy is trying to change for the better?
I think Ozan can help us.
He knows Aden better than both of us. He's obviously good for her.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
He's responsible for everything that happened to us.
And you need to hear me. It hurts me too.
I can't get close to my daughter. I can't touch her.
I want to have a bond with her.
I want to hug and kiss her like a normal mother
and I would do anything to have that.
Do you think I don't know that? But this is all a plan!
Those guys are watching us!
Hush!
I can't bare losing you again.
I can't survive losing you, Atiye.
Erhan, I know it's very hard.
But it's harder for Aden.
Please, put yourself in our daughter's shoes,
and don't get stuck in the past.
So, should we act like nothing happened?
Okay, let's do this then.
You stay here with Aden.
And I'll try to solve this prophecy.
-If anything happens… -I'll call.
You'll call.
Let's burn it together.
Mom.
Okay, listen to this.
Sun…
In the sun temple…
Pain, or a painful event… Something like a bad event.
Something in Mesopotamia,
I didn't get that part.
It's something like a temple, or in a temple, or something in a temple.
And he says saffron somewhere. That's what I could figure out.
-Wait a minute. He says saffron? -Yes.
The sun…
The temple in Mesopotamia with a sun inside it
is the Saffron Monastery.
They're talking about Mor Hananyo.
During construction,
they mixed saffron flowers into the plaster to color it.
Mor Hananyo.
-Maybe if we go there… -To Mardin?
Yes.
What is it?
That's where I grew up. Mardin.
You'll come with me, won't you, Umut?
-Of course not! -Umut, come on.
Can't you see how you're connected to everything that's happening?
Please, I need your help.
Why don't you go with Atiye?
She's on a different path.
Believing in you was such a good decision, son.
Really. You accomplished something very difficult, do you know that?
The rest will be easy now.
And don't you ever feel bad
because we couldn't fit into their lives, okay? Never!
Never.
They fooled us up until today, son.
They fooled us.
"We're more beautiful. We're better. We're smarter. We're richer."
They said all that to fool us.
But let me tell you something.
They're the delusional ones.
There are lives far beyond the world we perceive, Ozan.
Let the doors of perception open up.
Let's destroy the borders.
Let a new world begin for people like us.
Enjoy your meal, son.
Ozan.
This is a very important mission for humanity.
We'll make it happen.
Okay, my darling son?
Okay.
And we'll show everyone who we are.
Don't be unfair to yourself, Umut. You're not crazy.
Everything you said you found out ended up being true.
You were right all along.
And you're not alone anymore. Why are you still scared?
You don't understand.
-If you'd been through what I've-- -Umut, my life wasn't that amazing either.
I stumbled too. I fell. But I knew how to get back up.
We didn't stop searching for eight years.
And finally we got our reward. We found our daughter.
You can do it too. In fact, you should.
Look.
I don't know what your connection to this is,
or who you really are,
but you'll find answers to your questions once this journey is over.
I'm sure of that.
Believe me.
Aden?
Aden.
Honey?
Stop!
Honey, stop. Calm down!
Look at me. Look into my eyes.
Let yourself go, let's overcome this together.
Honey.
I promise you,
whatever happened in the past, we'll get through it together.
We'll be one again.
Please give me a chance.
Thank you.
