Meliha?
[girl] I found you, Mummy. I was so scared when you disappeared.
But I didn't disappear.
You're the one who did.
-[gasps] -[Meliha] I was always here.
[girl] Don't ever leave me again, Mummy.
[Meliha] Even if you don't see me, I'm always here with you.
You should never forget that, Esra. I'm always with you.

MIDNIGHT AT THE PERA PALACE
[tense music playing]
[stubs out cigarette]
[metal door clanks and groans]
[suspenseful music plays]
[Kadri] Here, drink this.
Take it.
[sighs]
So do you have a last request?
Someone you want to say goodbye to, hmm?
My father.
Who is your father?
What's his name?
Halit.
Halit, you say?
[Ahmet] How did it all get so messed up?
[sighs]
And why did I allow all of this to happen?
[Ahmet sighs]
This is the end of the road for you, but…
think of those you leave behind.
If you plead guilty, maybe you can give them a bit of peace.
I'm the one to blame.
Hmm.
[Ahmet] Everything that's happened, it's all my fault.
And I deserve everything that's coming. [sighs]
Tomorrow you'll be executed.
Pray. There's time to repent and ask for forgiveness.
You have time as well.
To save Esra and all the others who have been kidnapped.
The train will explode tomorrow at noon.
She can't breathe. She's not breathing.
The baby's dead. She won't come round.
-[sobbing] -[woman 1 whispers] Esra.
-[midwife] Esra. -[woman 1, echoing] Esra. Esra.
-[midwife] She's not breathing. -[woman 1] Esra.
-Esra. -[Lili sobbing]
-[woman 2] She's right. -[woman 1] Esra.

[music fades]
[footsteps approaching]
[Ahmet] Esra.
[gasps] Is it you, Ahmet?
What happened to me?
You must return now.
You have to go back.
We still need you there.
Your story has more pages.
Don't forget.
Life is just a brief moment.
[heartbeat quickens]
Everything starts with an instant.
-[echoing] Esra, you have to go back. -[Lili]
-[loud rushing sounds] -[woman 1]
[gasps]
-[coughing] -[baby crying]
[Lili] She's breathing! She's breathing!
[laughing and sobbing]
Oh, oh!
[breathing raspingly]
-[baby crying] -[Esra sobbing]
-Mum? -[baby wailing]
[sobbing]
I was too late.
I couldn't save you, I'm sorry.
[sniffles]
[Lili] Ah, would you look at that?
Aw!
[woman 1] Oh, they're adorable. Ah!
-[laughter and cooing] -[woman 2] So sweet. That is so precious.
[Lili] Sh, sh, sh, sh.
[door crashes open]
[guard 1] Get out of the way! Take those babies.
[guard 2] Hey! Move!
-[Lili] No! Don't take the babies! Please! -[babies wailing]
[Lili] No! Don't! Please!
-[guard 2] Shut up! Out the way! -[Lili] They're just…
-They're just babies! -[woman 3] Where are they going with them?
-[Lili] No! No! Just open the door! -[clamouring]
No! Let us out! We can take care of those babies!
[guard 1] Inform Mr Mümtaz that she's given birth.
You take them to the mansion.
-And you plant the bombs. -[guard 3] Right.
[all clamouring]

-Where are we going? [shrieks] -[midwife] I don't know!
-[women sobbing and gasping] -[Lili] Where are they taking us?
Please, somebody help us! Please!
Anybody, help! Anybody!
[train horn blares]
[inhales]
-[sighs] Esra. -[Nurullah] Mr Halit?
[Halit] Esra.
[grunts]
No, don't, Mr Halit.
You need to get some rest.
The doctor said you shouldn't move.
Where's Esra?
-[shudders] -[Nurullah] Miss Esra…
[Halit breathing shakily]
-[Nurullah] She was kidnapped, Mr Halit. -[gasps]
[tram bell ringing outside]
I have to find her.
-I have to get to the train. -Mr Halit!
You can't go anywhere in this condition!
Although your arm doesn't look like gangrene,
the doctor said he wants to keep you under observation for a while.
Then he will decide.
Mr Halit, you may need to be hospitalised.
Don't you even think about stopping me!
Mr Halit, please!
[dramatic music playing]
[tram bell ringing]
[car horn blares]
Mr Halit, you seem to be in a hurry.
Sh! [tutting]
I'll be taking you in our car. It'll be much safer.
What's the matter, gentlemen?
What's going on here?
Mr Halit's coming with me. I need to take his statement.
[vendor] Extra, extra! "Women's Equality in Parliament!" Extra!
Tell Mr Mümtaz about this.
[Kadri] I don't know if I should take Mr Ahmet's allegations seriously.
The man isn't well.
-His condition is well known. -Everything he says is true.
Mümtaz kidnapped the women.
If we don't get there in time, they'll die.
What happened to your hand?
[Halit sighs]
Are you sick, Halit?
[sighing] Just drive.
[train whistle blowing]
[rapid ticking]
Halit, you're not well.
I'll take you to the nearest hospital, and I'll carry on.
Not before I save Esra.
Just get to the train.
[siren wailing]
[Kadri] We won't make it!
[train horn blares]
Go right on that road.
[horn blares]
[siren fading]
[bleating]
Get them out of the way, man! Move!
[tyres squeal]
-[Halit] Five minutes to go! -[Kadri] Run, Halit! Run!
[Halit] Esra!
Esra!
[Kadri] Is anyone here?
[Halit] Esra!
Esra!
[Kadri] Is anyone here?
[Halit] Esra!
[Esra] Halit!
[Halit] Esra!
Esra!
Halit! Oh!
[gasps] Halit! We're in here!
We're in here!
-[banging] -[Esra] Halit!
-[banging] -[Halit] Esra!
Esra!
-[Lili] Do something! -[Esra] We're in here!
-[Halit] Esra! -[Esra] Halit!
-[women] Let us out! -[Esra] We're in here!
-[banging] -[Esra] Halit!
-Esra! -[Esra] We're in here!
[Esra gasps and sobs]
-[Halit] I found you. -[Kadri] Come on!
-Everyone out! Quick! -[Lili] Quick!
-[Halit] We need to get out. -My mum. My mum!
-We can't leave my mum here! -[Kadri] The bomb! The bomb will explode!
[Lili] Hurry!
[Halit] Everybody, get away! The bomb will go off!
Hurry up! Everybody out! Get to the station!
Hurry! Hurry!
-Halit? -You too! There's no time. Get to safety.
-I'll be right behind you, don't worry. -[Kadri] Run!
Clear the station!
Quick, run!
The bomb's going to explode! Hurry up!
[panicked screaming]
[dramatic, emotional music playing]
[gasps]
Halit!
[sighs]
[sighs deeply]
[laughs and sobs]
[sirens approaching]
What's wrong?
I'm not going anywhere before catching Mümtaz.
-Don't worry. -What do you mean?
You can't go anywhere now.
Not without me.
No matter what time we're in?
Exactly.
When it's over,
first thing I'll do is ask Ahmet for your hand.
Uh… where is Ahmet?
[tense, dramatic music playing]
[men shouting and booing]
Traitor! You're a traitor!
-You're a traitor! -Traitor!
Gonna see you swing!
[Ahmet] I see that every single one of you has come all the way here to see me.
I can't thank you enough for that.
I would like to say that to every single one of you here today, I bow down.
But that would be a lie. You see, it's only to God that I bow.
SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR THE SAKE OF SOCIAL ORDER
So we are here for the execution of this wretched man.
The hour of farewell has come.
Soon we will all go our separate ways.
Your way is life.
My way is death.
None of us knows which way is better. Only God does.
Come on. Just put the noose on him, man.
[siren approaching]
[tyres screech]
[car doors slam]
[Esra] Ahmet!
-[gunshot] -[Kadri] Stop!
-[man 1] Put the noose on him! -This execution must stop immediately!
[man 1] Get on with it!
As this man's confession is now officially null and void!
He's mentally unbalanced.
Take him down from the platform straight away!
[man 1] You can't… What's goin' on?
-[Lili] Ahmet! -[man 2] That can't be right!
-Just do it! -[Lili gasping]
Ahmet! Step aside!
[men complaining]
-[Lili] Ahmet! [gasps] -[man 3] Big mistake!
Oh! Lili!
-Lili! Oh, Lili! -[crying]
-Oh! -I just knew it.
-Mmm!
-I knew that you were alive! -Mmm!
[emotional music playing]
[crying]
[sighs]
[sobbing]
It's okay. It's okay.
[Ahmet sighs]
[broadcaster] of a tragic incident.
A bomb has exploded at Edirne train station,
underneath a train bound for Romania.
According to the reports, no one was killed or injured in the explosion.
It was also reported that a large number of recently kidnapped women
were found in the wagon to which the bomb was attached.
There are serious allegations against the businessman Mümtaz Soyluoğlu,
who is suspected of involvement in kidnapping the women.
Halit!
[sighs]
[siren approaching]
[siren fades]
[tense music playing]
[crows cawing]
[footsteps]
[Kadri] Mr Mümtaz?
I need you to come with me.
There are very serious allegations against you.
[chuckles softly] Hmm.
And how could someone like me have serious allegations against them?
Well, go on.
Do you mean the rumours about me that all of my enemies have been spreading?
Put the gun down.
It turns out you're a woman killer.
Hmm.
And what's more, you also kidnap newborn babies.
What were you going to do with those poor babies?
[thud]
[sighs]
How could a man like you understand?
[sighs]
[cooing]
[fussing]
[ringing]
Mümtaz.
[tense music playing]
All right, agreed.
He says, "If you want to take the babies, go to Belgrade Forest at midnight."
At midnight?
[Halit] He's trying to lure us away from the hotel.
[Esra] He's planning to travel through time and escape.
We'll have to stop him.
[Halit] We will.
-[thunder crashing] -[birds calling frantically]
[ticking loudly]
[Halit] Where the hell is he?
[tram bell ringing]
[urgent, dramatic music playing]
[porter] Welcome to Pera Palace. I'll take your luggage.
[thunder rumbling]

[porter] Coming through.

Mümtaz. I'm sure it was him. He took the stairs.
Stay with her.

Sh, sh, sh.
[chuckles] Girls.
[baby fussing]
Hello. [chuckles]
Come here.
Come on.
Oop-ah!
-Yes. [laughs] -[baby squeals]
Oh! And now your turn.
Here we go, oop!
[cooing] Ooh.
[softly] There you go.
-[both fussing] -[Mümtaz chuckles]
[thunder rumbles]
Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.
Sh, sh, sh.
[chuckles]
Are you ready for your first adventure?
Hmm?
[chuckles] Hmm?
-Your key! -[baby coos]
Ah. And your key.
There.
-[sighs] -[door opens]
[thunderclap]
Hello there, Mr Mümtaz. Where are you going?
Defeat does taste good.
[dramatic music playing]
Meliha's babies, I want them.
I would rather die than give you my girls.
[dynamic, suspenseful music playing]
Th…
They're your twins?
They will carry on my name, yes.
[thunder rumbling]
In a better time.
I'll make a fresh start with both of them.
But how?
How are you my father?
I'm your father?
[breathing shakily]
[sighs]
[gulps]

-[clashing, distorted sounds] -[gasps]
-[breathing heavily] -[scritching sounds]

-You're my… -[Esra sobs]
[sighs shakily]
[chuckles] So you're one of these babies?
[sniffles]
[chuckles]
And which time are you from?
[sniffles]
Meliha and you? That's sick!
-[shudders] How can that be true? -[splutters]
[sighs] Meliha and I, we had a very brief affair.
[gasps]
I only learnt she was pregnant when I kidnapped her.
[sighs] I couldn't let a woman like that bring them up.
[melancholy, emotional music playing]
[chuckles softly]
I wish we'd met another way.
[clock chiming]
[sighs] You have to leave.
Please.
Don't stop me. Just leave.
My daughter.
Please.
[sighs]
[whispers] For me.
[twins cooing]
[Mümtaz] Please.
[tense music playing]
[inhales]
They're gonna be better off as orphans…
[shuddering]
…than having you as a dad.
[thunderclap]
[scoffs]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
[breathing unsteadily]
[Mümtaz chuckles softly]
[sighs]
[crying]
You would shoot your father?
Hmm?
Shoot.
[sniffles]
Do it.
-[breathing shakily] -[Mümtaz] Shoot.
-Do it. -[gasps]
-[sniffles] -[crash]
-Esra! -[Esra] Halit!
No!
-[twins crying] -[groans]

Don't get hurt!

[Esra] Halit?
-[Halit sighs] -[Esra] Halit?
Your hand. Look!
It's because of the Gateway of Truth.
Come on.
-We'll get you to a hospital. -[sighs]
Ahmet, we need to get him to a hospital.
We'll get you help. I can't lose you too.
-Get up. Get up! -[shuddering] Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Whatever I did,
I did it so we could be together.
So we could be happy.
But we're destined to be apart, it seems.
No. [sobs]
No, we're not.
Get up. I can't lose you too. Just get up!
You won't lose me.
I…
I'll always be here.
No, please. [sniffles]
No, come on. [gasps]
-Please, Halit! -[thunderclap]
Halit?
[sniffles] You're okay.
Get up! Please! [sobbing]
Come on, we're gonna get you help.
[sobbing]
I can't lose you too! Get up!
[sobbing]
-[telephone ringing] -[murmur of voices]
So, a bell really can't be unrung, then.
[Ahmet sighs]
You said everything starts with an instant.
-When was that? -And if we can change that instant…
[quiet, solemn music playing]
My first time in the hotel…
I won't go into room 411.
And I'll never spot that key, Ahmet.
None of this will ever have happened.
To make what happened unhappen…
Do you think that can be done?
[sighs] Um… let's try and send you first.
[sighs]
Keep an eye on that.
[sighs]
[clock ticking]
[thunder rumbling]
[breathing unsteadily]
Come here now, Esra.
[baby cooing]
-Oof. -[baby gurgles]
[thunder rumbles softly]
[baby babbling]
[sighs heavily]
Sorry, but I'm not in control of this.
Well, it's not like I can control anything, but…
[sighs]
But I reckon… you'll go to the time you need to get to.
What has to be will be.
[chuckles]
-[sighs] -[baby whimpers]

[Lili]
[distant thunder]
But those things you said…
Time travel…
Is that true?
[shudders] I can tell you that life is stranger than fiction.
Fairy tales have nothing on reality.
-[Lili] Oh! -[chuckles softly]
Are you…
going to a better time now?
No.
-Hmm? -There isn't a better time.
[piano plays poignant melody]
-And I've been to many times. -[Lili laughs]
-Don't leave me, then? -[Ahmet] Lili…
Stay here. With me.
-[distant thunder] -[Lili] Stay here with me.
I have to go.
You're scared.
You're scared, aren't you?
-Goodbye. -[gasps]
[sniffles]
Farewell.
[sighs]
[mysterious, poignant music playing]
[thunder continuing]
[clock chiming]
[heavy rumbling]
[thunder crashing]
[dramatic music playing]
[rumbling fades]
[Ahmet sighs]
It's worked. We're in the right time.
-Where we should be. -Let's go.
We have to hurry. Come on.
[suspenseful music playing]
-[Ahmet] Whoa, stop, stop, stop, stop! -[Esra] Huh?
[chuckles] I'll have that key.
-[Esra] Oh… but… -Yes. Let's go to your room. After you.
-[Esra] Didn't you just give me this key? -[Ahmet laughing] Come on.
[Esra laughs] When did you change your clothes?
[Ahmet chuckles] Good night, then.
[Esra laughs]
-You really are a strange man, Ahmet. -[Ahmet chuckles]
[Esra] Good night.
[sighs]
[exhales]
[sighs]
[quiet, emotional music playing]
[Ahmet sighs]
So this means everything's back to how it should be?
Hmm… I suppose.
[sighs] In the meantime,
we have to find a good hiding place for these.
[sighs]
That's it, Ahmet? There's nothing more?
-[Ahmet sighs] -[thunder rumbling]
I think. [chuckles]
Uh… come on. We shouldn't stay here.
But wait. Now, if we stopped me from leaving,
how do you explain the fact that we're back here?
So logically,
if I couldn't go to 1919,
there shouldn't be an Esra here talking to you now, right?
I mean, okay, time has many forms, but…
