Aleph (Alef)

Stop! Police!

Don't run! Stop!

Stop running!

Fuck!

Okay, I am here. I am here, I am here, I am here.

I am here. I am here.

I am here, okay. Show me.

I need an ambulance to Sahaflar street, number 147.

Fuck!

Hurry up!

Fucking hell!

Fucking hell!

The hell with you Fırat, the hell with you Fırat!

Brother, are you okay?

Why did you jump in the middle of the road?

Hold on. Don't move.

The attacker is still in the neighbourhood.

He is on the move. He has a sharp object with him.

He is wearing a hood and he is medium height.

He is still on the move. I need an ambulance here!

Don't move!

Fuck!

You, motherfucker!

We'll lift her on three. 1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3, lift. Lift her, lift her.

Leave it there now.

Professor, professor it really hurts.

-I have to cut it open. -Do you have to cut it open?

Professor, I just got it stitched, don't cut it open again.

I have to see what's inside and all.

-Aren't you curious? -I am not curious at all.

I know what's inside of me. Thank you so much.

Professor Derin, do you want to see Defne Andıç...

...or would the pictures be enough?

Let me see.

Sir, if you'll excuse me now. Have a nice day.

Cuts are similar. He used the same tool.

I told him stab me again.

I told him to stab me twice.

I said, if you are brave enough... Thanks, thank you.

I said if you are brave enough, I said you would be stab me again.

Thanks.

And he saw how courageous I am, you know, he saw I was fearless...

...and then he did a runner, you know.

You wouldn't believe how fast he was running.

He disappeared.

I ran after him for a while but I don't know what tool he used...

...it pierced half of my leg.

Understood?

I mean, after a point it was impossible for me to follow him.

I said to myself, health is important, okay...

...we'll catch him but...

Narin, what are you doing tonight? Shall we have tea together?

No, my aunts will come to visit us tonight.

Your aunt?

But I am wounded.

Fine, then you should heal up first, hero.

Listen, with this foot I used to score from a goal to the other.

From a goal to the other.

I am not talking about Astroturf, I am talking about...

...standard football pitch, grass pitch.

-I used to kick the ball so hard... -Don't get up, don't get up.

Sit down.

Sit down, son.

-Are you okay? -I am okay, sir.

It's not a big deal.

I am really sorry.

Thanks, thank you.

Have you analysed the paper that Defne Andıç gave us?

We are still working on it.

Where are we?

We are on hold.

Is that the sketch?

Is that all?

Kind of.

Thank you so much.

Get better soon.

You don't move. I'll take it. I am done here anyway.

I hope you'll get better soon.

Thank you.

-Hello. -Hello.

Superintendent Çınar Demir.

I have to take Ms Defne's statement.

Is she available?

I just changed her dressing but please don't tire her.

No, no, I am fine, let him in.

Have a nice day.

Hello.

Hello.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

You are not going to pass out, right?

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

I'll try. Take a seat please.

Are you okay?

Do you know the man who attacked you?

Did you see his face?

No.

So, how about his height and size?

I can't remember.

Didn't you hear any voice? Female, male?

No, whoever it was didn't say a word.

I didn't hear any voice but it was someone strong.

I can remember that much.

Sometimes to refresh your memory, even this could help.

Take a good look at it.

What were you doing at the crime scene in the middle of the night?

Okay.

Let me answer that for you.

You went there to find the paper you gave me and the attacker was...

...after it as well.

Actually, he has half of the paper now.

Do you think your father died because of that?

I have no idea.

You have no idea, huh?

Listen, you have to help me.

I need to know what that paper is.

Ms Defne, you were at the scene at the time of the murder.

We found your bloody fingerprint on the alarm.

And on top of that, you went to the crime scene again last night.

I mean, you are doing everything you can to look suspicious.

Please tell me what's going on, so I can help you.

I couldn't tell you that I was there when my father died.

Why?

Mommy, we are home.

Can you pass me that scarf? I don't want her to see like this.

Come on, come on, come on.

My love.

Hello, superintendent.

Look, superintendent Çınar came to see me.

I caught a cold, you know.

What did you do? Did you ride on the swing?

Didn't you?

So, we can ride it together tomorrow, okay?

Is it okay?

Elif, shall we go to your room and draw some pictures?

-Yes, come on then. -Off you go.

Draw some pictures with brother Koray.

Come on.

Maybe brother Çınar would give us a call next time...

...before he comes here to play a game. Huh?

Are you keeping quiet because of Elif, I wonder?

That night...

...that night I left Elif with my dad.

Elif's dad and I are fighting for her custody.

My lawyer Koray and I had to work on a file...

...and then I went to the shop to pick them up.

I am here.

Elif was alone upstairs.

My dad was lying on the floor.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Why did you run away?

Custody case.

If Elif's father finds out that Elif was there...

...when my father was murdered, he wouldn't care what state...

...she was in and use that against me.

Do you know Yüksel Yıldırımoğlu?

I think he is a wealthy hospital owner.

He also has a collection of history of medicine just like your father.

Do you think they knew each other?

Even if they did, I don't know anything about it.

Take a look at this.

It's in Ottoman Turkish.

Do you know Ottoman Turkish?

Kind of, I am not an expert though. I can read simple texts.

The first letter can be H.

I think it is H.

The ones in the middle are interlaced letters.

It can by Y, actually, they are missing dots.

It might be something interesting.

Did your father show you anything like this...

...before or did he mention about a symbol?

Yes, I know that symbol. He had a similar on in his drawer.

He told me if something happened to him, I should open that draw...

...and look after what's inside but I failed.

He put the tulip around my neck.

Tulip?

Yes, tulip.

In Ottoman asylums, an iron ring used to restrain...

...the mentally ill a kind of collapsible leash.

Mentally ill?

Something like this one?

Yes.

This is a tulip but you not many of them survived.

Like I said, you can speak English.

Yes, a little.

-I can speak a little too. -That's nice.

Tarzan can speak better English than I can.

Understood?

We can sort it out, brother Erkan, all around the world.

-Cars are beautiful. -We can communicate with them.

I said to that girl, what shall I do with this bag?

She told me to put it somewhere.

I spoke to her in Turkish and she understood me.

Turkish?

You can use body language, you know.

Body language.

You know where I live...

Do you mean Ataturk industrial estate?
