Aleph (Alef)

Previously...

He poured honey on the man's head?

He put it in honey, to prevent decomposing.

He sent it just because he wanted to.

Remember what he said on the recording?

"Why wait? I do whatever I want."

Who brought the box?

It came with a courier, Lieutenant.

He's entering the Harbiye door at 22.32 p.m.

And leaves in one minute.

We make the patient sleep. The patient is sleeping.

So, when would the guy get up, Doc?

It's from the body's stomach.

Autopsy continues, but they sent it, because it's important.

Have you ever saw something like that?

A dervish mirror.

Meeting in two different ways in a short time...

...an interesting coincidence.

They say coincidences are God's way of revealing himself.

So you started to memorize the same things again.

Yes. It wouldn't hurt if you read them too.

Why do I need you for if I have to do everything myself, British?

-Blessed evening. -Blessed evening.

-Blessed evening. -Blessed evening.

Peace be with you, Mr. Brother-in-law.

I'm here to take Semiha.

Would it be so bad if you say hello in the name of God, first?

Just cut it short, Sadettin.

You haven't lost your wit.

Magnificent, you didn't change a bit.

But this place changed a lot.

If your afterlife is in danger when you're not wealthy...

...why don't we know about it?

God forbid. Only Allah knows that.

Our duty is to... -Enough of your bullshit...

...I'll just take Semiha and go.

Semiha!

I'm calling you, Semiha!

This is not the place, Mr. Brother-in-law.

And it would be a disgrace before our some distinguished guests.

Biology Specialization Department

Yours is already done.

I waited for you too long, but you didn't come.

I hope you received the gift I sent you.

Anyway, you came just in time for the best part.

Artist souls have different ways...

...of transforming their libido into creative energy.

Verdi composed "Nabucco" when he was 28.

This man lying here is also 28.

The victim is a male, married with two children...

...in the bathroom of his house...

...sitting, his back against the wall...

...his legs is extended before him...

...wearing a white blouse...

...and a flowery skirt...

Used a white rope to hang...

...and a magic marker with two centimeters diameter...

...have been put in the anus all the way in...

And so on, so on...

Does it sound familiar?

Autoerotic asphyxiation.

Bravo.

If you do this job for years like me, cases become ordinary.

But asphyxiations are always very fascinating.

Suffocating yourself to increase sexual pleasure.

To reach the pleasure's climax when you're closest to death.

How fascinating, isn't it?

Every year, thousands of people are coming...

...too close to death and they can't return.

Like this young man here.

Behind the creative act...

...it lies the desire to find back the completeness feeling...

...that has been built during the narcistic stage...

...between mother and child and lost later.

Every artist go after this desire.

There is another way to reach this feeling of completeness...

Death.

When you're closest to death, you're closest to this feeling.

Verdi or...

...this young man...

...they're both after this feeling of completeness.

And in my opinion...

...they're both extraordinarily creative.

And I admire both of them.

To this young man who wasn't as lucky as his peer Verdi...

...but turned himself an artwork...

...maybe even more so.

And you?

Don't you admire killers you're after in the same way?

Because they're after this feeling of completeness...

...not by dying, but by killing...

...and doing that in a creative way...

...don't they deserve at least a little admiration?

I talked too much, aren't I?

Whatever...

Your Abdullah Ceren...

As we've guessed...

...the same cutler.

But he kept the body in ice, not in honey.

It seems he didn't have that much honey to use.

The body is defrosted only a few days ago.

Nejat.

That eye of yours was an extra anyway.

I can give the good one to you.

You need it so much.

What's up, Doc? You smelled woodcock?

Istanbul Training and Research Hospital

What is it?

You said he woke up, Doc?

Yes, he woke up, but...

...there was an unexpected aneurysm hemorrhage.

We didn't saw that coming.

Actually...

...we reached the aneurysm by dissection.

Preserving the perforating artery...

...and posterior cominican artery there...

...the bleeding artery on the left PICA exit...

I got it, got it. It's the will of God.

We dealt with the aneurysm, but unfortunately, we lost the patient.

Excuse me.

It wasn't a bad operation.

What's the complication rate on such cases?

Well, probably... We expect...

...intraventricular hemorrhage in the first 24 hours...

...for half of the traumatized and bleeding cases.

Okay, we're coming.

-It's an interesting case. -Doc, excuse us.

Kids found the courier Santa. Let's see what's in his bag.

Doc?

Keep in touch.

You got upset when you saw that black boy.

Listen, you're British and all, but it seems...

...you got some downside of this country from your grandfather.

You're tender-hearted.

What about the theological school? Is there any news?

Multiple organ failure...

...caused by recurring intraventricular hemorrhage.

We have to demand an autopsy.

What?

I said, we have to demand an autopsy.

Do you collaborate with Arap, British?

It wasn't enough you caused the kid to die...

...now you you want to dissect him?

Maybe Moussa knew something we shouldn't know.

Didn't you tell me, this kid knew nothing?

Why is he valuable to you now?

Maybe I'm wrong.

Anybody could give that poor kid a couple bucks...

...and use him as a courier.

It's obvious that they just used him to bring that book to the library.

He comes back to life from Glaskow scale three.

He wakes up, all indications are positive.

All doctors are there.

And suddenly... -You're surprised by his death...

...but not that he revives?

How can we explain what happened then?

You don't have to understand everything.

What's that even mean?

It means that...

His life has expired. It's the will of God.

You live what destiny decides.

Nothing more, nothing less.

What, don't you believe fate?

You know everything, I asked a simple question.

What does it have to do with what I'm telling?

Everything has to do with everything.

If you mean a predetermined life-line by fate...

No.

That understanding removes the individual's responsibility...

...to the whole world.

You're evading, British.

I asked your opinion, not what you've learned from books.

Since when you care about my opinion?

I believe that free will exist.

That we can decide our destiny...

...with our decisions and acts, despite everything.

-Despite everything? -Yes.

I wish I can believe that too.

What do you believe?

Me?

I...

I believe in the wrestling.

Even if your tights are old, even if your oponent is tough...

...even if the end is known.

I believe in the wrestling.

Well, who's this dickhead?

Sir, here.

If you look here carefully...

...you see a logo on the trunk. -So?

A company named Epsilon.

It seems they delivering with motorcycle couriers.

But they bankrupted in 2016.

We couldn't reach anybody in charge.

We couldn't find any information about couriers either.

Then, Cihangir found something.

Sir, bikers love their bikes so much.

You can't even know.

Some of them love them as they love their children and family.

Cut it short, Cihangir.

There are some forums on the internet...
