Aleph (Alef)

Previously...

We have some urgency.

We have to publish this book by the weekend.

I'm sorry. It's impossible for us to get you back in such short time.

We're not even one step ahead from where we started.

We're wasting time.

The guy saw Nusret Işık three times before he died...

...brought back magazines that are lost for 35 years...

...and you say he doesn't have to do with anything?

Are you going to a conference?

Yes, to London.

My favorite city.

What a coincidence.

I'm from London.

Look, daddy, I found some beautiful stones.

Better than my mother's.

I didn't wait for the time to end.

Because I'm sure you can't publish the book.

No publisher would accept that.

Eyes will be blind, ears will be deaf...

...to the call of the truth.

Don't worry, the likes of Nusret Işık...

...and Mustafa Diri, will be reincarnate in new bodies.

Don't worry...

...the evil will be forever.

September 1656

You know us, Master Nurettin.

We don't approve your way.

According to our religion...

...we see whirling and dancing as sin and innovation.

Of course, we know, Master Hodja.

But the Mevlevi are respectful to the sharia.

However, them, Qalandaris, Haydaris, Bayramis...

They assume the guise of Mevlevi and they cost us our lodge.

They filled our lodge with sacrilege.

If we don't stop them immediately...

...God forbid, the days that sharia will be in danger are close.

Give us your blessing, and help us take our lodge back.

We have a quarrel with evil!

Followers of Muhammad, gather under the banner!

We couldn't find a silver tray...

...but please accept this, Your Majesty.

The first time I saw something like that...

...it was on a symposium in America about the history of identification.

And I was proud of our ancestors.

Arap, cut it short.

Don't be shy, come closer.

Closer.

Touch it.

-Honey? -Exactly.

And it's high quality.

He poured honey on the man's head?

He put it in honey, to prevent decomposing.

Come.

See, expressions are almost frozen.

Executioners were keeping the heads of criminals in honey...

...they executed outside Istanbul.

To prevent decomposing on their long journeys.

Those heads that their faces being preserved carefully...

...later being shown on silver plates before the padishah.

To leave no doubt about identification.

When did he decapitated?

It's hard to tell.

Aminoacids in honey, delayed necrosis.

And lipids formed when subcutaneous structures hydrogenated.

We call it saponification.

Because of the density of lipids, tissue almost not decomposed.

I can say something definite after the toxicology test.

But I have a hunch that says it's decapitated...

...at least three months ago.

Three months?

After decapitated, he kept it for three months?

So it seems.

Do we have any record about it?

There is no match for blood and DNA samples on our system.

But if there is a missing report...

...his relatives can identify him easily.

Could you be able to identify the cutter?

The cut seems the same on the first victim's palate.

Is it post mortem?

It's hard to know.

But if you want me to guess roughly...

...I can say that the strike on the neck was the cause of death.

Chief wants to see you both, sir.

Sure.

Let us know.

While officials didn't make any statement...

...about the possible connection between two murders...

...it's stated that the Nigerian citizen suspect Moussa Moseiv...

...who's still under treatment is living for 12 years in our country.

Come, come.

These fuckers can get the scent of a dick from far away.

Look at them.

They even built a tent here.

Look at me...

Don't speak a word about the murders.

Don't answer anything whatever they ask.

Just say "We're investigating. We'll share information soon."

I'll send a general order when the time comes.

Settar!

Look, I'm saying especially to you...

...this time I'll do nothing if hell raises.

Is identification done?

We're waiting.

If they find the other half of this man...

Let me tell you, we'll get fucked.

Is it certain that this is the job of our maniac?

Why did that motherfucker emerge?

Why did that son of a bitch became a problem to us?

Yes, Governor?

Get up, get up.

Of course, sir, of course.

You're right, sir, of course.

Yes, sir.

We had still two days until the end of the time he gave us.

It's still not ended, so what, Kemal?

It wasn't a law anyway.

He's sick. He sent it just because he wanted to.

Remember what he said on the recording?

"Why wait? I do whatever I want. I'm can fucking mess around."

I feel like he was very different than the other recording.

It was like his mental state was completly changed.

The dickhead must have a guilty conscience...

...after cutting all those people.

He defines a typical mission to himself...

...but on the other hand, he believes that evil won't end.

But serial killers generally believe they can do that.

A hopeless serial killer.

What else would you expect from a serial killer in this country?

What do we have?

Blood and DNA tests are negative.

We're on missing person reports, sir.

Is there any news on the rest of the body?

All units are aware. I talked to the gendarmerie and coast guard.

They're trying to find it soon.

Who brought the box?

It came with a courier, Lieutenant.

He's entering the Harbiye gate on 22.32 p.m.

And leaves in one minute.

Good. You picked that guy up, right?

We're trying to identify him, sir.

Trying to identify? He came here, didn't he?

Yes, sir, but...

Don't tell me he just left with his cock dangling.

Who received it?

It's brought on İsa's watch, sir.

Didn't you talk to İsa?

He says, a lot of documents and mail comes...

...they leave them in the room, we don't see them.

My Gosh! Anybody saw him?

Didn't that dickhead İsa said, they put me here to grow my ass!

Is this is a fucking open house!

Well, sir...

I found some interesting things on "R. Gö."

-What is that? -Trade registry gazette.

That society, Nusret Işık was a board member...

Circulation of World Science and Knowledge Society.

There is a corporation tied to this society.

I was taking the list of the corporation's board members...

...and Rahmi Görener was the chairman...

...of the society until two years ago.

"R. Gö."?

Yes, sir, and there is more.

Rahmi Görener is also an amateur miniature painter.

He was selling his own work on society's exhibitons.

The work you saw at Nusret Işık's house...

...was bought from a society auction...

...and made by Rahmi Görener.

Good job, girl.

Tell me we have the address.
