A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
She left her phone in the car. There's no other trace of them.
We're following the path, but where does it lead?
I asked my crew and the villagers. Nobody saw them.
Erhan, should we call the police?
Atiye's disappeared before.
This is a special place, like Nemrut and Göbekli Tepe.
They must have come here for a reason.
Atiye must be following a lead about the prophecy.
The ancients believed
the prophet Ezekiel performed the miracle of resurrection here.
They would come here to die because they believed they would be resurrected.
I'll find that tree and save my family.
But first, we have to solve the mystery of this place.
Will you give us an answer now?
We need to find that tree right away.
The stars are about to align.
You know what is above.
It's time you saw what is below.
I remember you.
I remember you from thousands of years ago.
The moment we lost each other, the heartbeat of the water stopped.
Rivers stopped flowing.
Seeds stopped sprouting in the soil's womb.
Come on, honey, let's follow it.
The moment we were separated is the moment we forgot each other.
That's when the earth turned on us.
Our minds took over…
and we silenced our hearts.
That's when our fruit died.
We forgot who we were.
We forgot that we are one.
The moment we remember each other will be the moment we're reunited.
That will be the moment we'll go back to the beginning in a timeless place.
The snake brought us here.
Now, we're on our own.
We can find that tree, you and me, even if it's hard.
Come on, let's go.
-Did you log these? -Yes.
NO CAMERA PLEASE EXCAVATION SITE, NO ENTRY
Welcome.
-Cansu, right? -Yes.
Come this way.
What? She left with Ozan?
No, I didn't know.
Mom, why didn't you stop them?
Okay. Sure, I'll let you know. Okay.
We can't get rid of this guy!
Cansu?
-Brother. -Welcome.
Thanks. How are you?
I'm fine.
-Any news? -No.
But I'll find them.
This is Umut.
-Nice to meet you. -Hi, nice to meet you.
Why are you so angry?
Did you know that Atiye went off with Ozan?
Cansu! After everything that's happened with this guy…
Why didn't you tell me?
If she was with him, there must have been a reason.
This is Atiye.
I get that, but why am I the last to know things about my own family?
How should I know?
Come on, sit. Have a coffee.
I'll make it. Dibek coffee?
Sure, thanks.
-Want some? -Please.
Aden and Atiye are missing. I'm worried.
Don't worry about Aden. Head back to Istanbul.
I already sent someone to get the girl.
Okay? I'll handle it.
I am worried about Aden, Mom.
Why? Do you miss her?
I won't come back without her.
Okay?
Okay, Ozan. I said I'll handle it. I'm hanging up.
Everywhere is the same.
There is no sign of life.
But let's not lose hope. We'll find that tree.
Haven't we already passed through here?
We're going in circles.
Did you know the way?
I'm so sorry. I should have listened to you from the beginning.
Erhan.
Take a look at this.
All the maps of Dara, and especially the mythological ones,
are kept in Mardin Museum.
Should we go there? We might find something. What do you say?
But which maps, which era? We have no clue.
Actually…
Wait a minute.
Do you remember? Your aunt spoke of a tree.
Yes, the tree Simurgh lived on.
Yes. According to the legend, each time Simurgh took off,
it would spread the seeds of the Tree of Life throughout the world.
That's how the plants took root and sprouted.
"With the first seed that sprouted." Just like in the prophecy.
You know, that snake helped me find myself.
I was very scared when I first saw it. But now, I understand.
I'm glad it guided me.
I got out of the hole I was living in thanks to that snake.
Maybe it will help unite us now.
Are you still scared?
-Cansu, I… -Where are my sister and my niece?
I don't know. They left me on the side of the road.
If you don't know, get the hell out.
Cansu!
Simurgh burns itself every 1,700 years and rises from its own ashes.
It's actually a different life cycle. I studied this in university.
Look, here's another interesting story.
Persian emperor Zal learns his wife will die during childbirth,
and asks Simurgh for help.
With its help, both the wife and the child survive.
Talking of the Persians…
We saw it somewhere. There's a Persian name for the Tree of Life.
Hold on…
-Was it in there? -Yes.
It should be here. It must be here somewhere.
"Gaokerena, that resurrects dead bodies with its sap."
Gaokerena…
This might be it!
If we look at the Persian maps from this era,
maybe we can find the location of this tree.
I think you're right.
Selim, do you know anyone at Mardin Museum?
Selim! Do you know anyone at Mardin Museum?
Yeah, I do.
Can you give them a call?
Man, I can call them, but at this time--
Just call. We're in a hurry. Tell them we're coming.
We don't have any time to lose.
Yes.
Yes, this could be it. Gaokerena…
Okay.
Cansu. Can you just wait a second, please?
Can you move?
Cansu, please.
I don't believe you. There's no coming back from this. It's over.
Cansu!
I came for Aden.
I know Aden better than all of you. I came to be of use.
What are you doing here? Where are Atiye and Aden?
-Brother, wait. -I don't know.
I know you left together. Tell me where you left them!
We set off together, but they left me on the road.
-Brother, let it go. -What are you doing with this guy?
-Erhan. -I don't know, Erhan. Honestly.
-If you're lying… -Erhan, I really don't know.
Come on, we have to go.
As you can see, nobody wants your help here.
Fuck off.
My grandma helped me find my inner voice.
I can teach you what I know, if you want.
Listen to the deepest silence.
If you listen patiently, it will definitely answer you.
As long as you listen.
HARD HATS REQUIRED
Even the soil has a sound.
It has its own unique language.
If you speak that language, it has so much to tell you.
Return to nature.
Returning to it means finding happiness.
If you return to it…
it always opens its arms to you.
Come here.
Welcome.
-Hello. -Thank you.
Come in, let us offer you some tea.
By the way, we can't let you take the maps out of the museum, as they are originals.
This way to the archives.
Wait a second.
ARCHIVES
Mr. Ahmet?
What happened, sir?
Wait a second.
Mr. Ahmet?
Someone is running away!
Erhan!
He got away.
-Thank you. -Enjoy.
Where is he?
What's going on?
Where's Ozan?
-I don't know. -Is he inside?
I don't know!
Ozan!
-The maps were stolen. -Ozan!
Erhan thinks Ozan did it.
Erhan, what are you doing?
I will find him!
-How? Search every street for him? -If I have to, yes!
-He didn't do it. -What?
What do you mean by that? How do you know?
I just know. I can feel it.
Ozan loves Aden very much. He wouldn't do anything to harm her.
Cansu, is there something you know? Tell me straight.
Looking for this?
Remember to look around, Erhan.
Be careful of those around you.
Selim?
Will you be able to find Aden with these?
The stars are shining
Your eyes are sleepy
You close your beautiful eyes too
My gorgeous child
Your friend left.
She went home.
Find anything on the map?
You don't know this, but you're just like your dad.
He told me the same thing when I last saw him.
"Remember to look around, Erhan.
Be careful of those around you."
He would talk about you a lot.
He would say, "We're lonely fathers. Nobody else can understand us."
He said you didn't have any good memories.
Whatever you've been through.
He would get angry at himself for not being a good father.
Deep down, he loved you very much.
Whenever he talked about it…
I would feel sorry for myself, too.
I would think of the things I missed as my daughter grew.
Her first step…
Her first word…
Her crying, laughing…
Her hugging, playing…
Her love.
You stole them all from me, Ozan.
I'll never let you near my family again.
How did I not think of this?
What is it? Find something?
The map.
Erhan?
Remember what we talked about?
Selim.
It was a big mistake to lose the maps, but it was smart to take photos of them.
So, if you want to belong somewhere,
if you want to be protected by someone,
you can't disappoint them.
Can you?
Well…
You deserve another chance, but it's the last one.
Today, the first seed will sprout, the door to real life will open.
You will make history as the first archaeologist to discover it.
Isn't that nice?
Go get the girl.
Don't worry, ma'am.
Actually, the sky chart…
I mean…
It shows where the stars and planets are positioned.
They made a code by putting these two maps on top of each other.
That's very smart.
Now, what we need to do
is find Sirius's projection on the map of Dara.
Will Sirius help us find Aden?
Yes. They're not lost.
Atiye is on another journey.
Sirius had guided them before.
If I can find
Sirius's projection on this map…
we can find the tree.
Polaris…
Antares…
Sirius.
Here it is.
-Is it this place? -That's where it is.
This is Mitra.
Near Mitra.
Yes.
I think we found it.
Come on, let's go.
Calm down.
Please, let me in.
Your hands are ice cold.
Feeling better? Come on, get up.
Let's go.
Whatever it takes, I'll find that tree and I'll save you.
Come on, honey. Take my hand.
Come on, hang on.
We can do it. We can find that tree.
We can get out of here, okay?
Hang on. You need to guide me.
It must be here somewhere.
Atiye!
Erhan?
Atiye!
Erhan?
Please hang on. Look, Dad's calling for us.
Come on. Come.
Atiye!
-Atiye! -Erhan!
Atiye!
The tree!
The tree…
Aden…
We found the tree.
We found you.
Show us your miracle!
Aden.
Honey.
Come on, honey. Wake up.
Atiye!
I saw them.
I saw them!
They're over there! Atiye!
Atiye.
She's breathing. Atiye.
Aden.
Are you okay?
Atiye.
Atiye, wake up.
Atiye.
Mom!
Atiye.
Mom.
