Episodes
While life tosses Ceylin and Ilgaz with waves in a sea they have never known, time has shaped their souls completely differently. Now they need one more miracle to close the distance between them. But in the meantime, life has prepared new surprises for everyone. A new era has begun where enmities will turn into friendships, love will turn into hate, and uncertainties will be revealed...
Ceylin brings Nil to the police station to take his statement. However, what comes next is quite challenging for both Ilgaz and Ceylin. While struggling with the pain they carry inside, they also have to fulfill their professional duties. And this situation brings them face to face again because they have different ideas. Yekta is about to learn that Nil is hiding more secrets than he ever imagined. There is a reason behind Merdan's move to the nursing home that no one can guess. Çınar and Parla have difficulty ignoring some problems in their relationship. Ilgaz chases after the evidence he finds and discovers an unexpected truth about Nil. This situation pushes him towards Ceylin again. No matter what happens, they can't break away from each other and meet at the same point; the place where it all started, the place that placed this pain in their hearts. However, the "truth" is very different and far away from what they expected.
Everyone is clustered around a single question and wants to find the answer as soon as possible, no matter what; "Where is Mercan?" Mercan's disappearance causes deep wounds in the lives of everyone, especially Ceylin and Ilgaz. But trying to stay together while struggling with the loss of their child is very difficult for both of them. Crushed under the weight of the shadow of the past, the couple will confront each other in an attempt to clear the fog a little bit. Meanwhile, efforts to find Mercan continue. The roles of Can, Nadide, Efe, Nil, Dilek, Nil, Dilek, and Macit in Mercan's disappearance, who have quickly entered the list of suspects, begin to get rid of uncertainty day by day. Ceylin and Ilgaz learn to survive on the basis of their despair, but an unexpected surprise will upset all the balances in their lives, and everyone will seek the answer to a new question.
The package left at the door is more than enough to reinforce Ceylin's long-standing belief that Mercan is alive. However, this child's t-shirt carries many questions. As Ilgaz and Ceylin pursue these questions, instead of reaching a solution, they are confronted with suspects they have only just realized. Everyone tries to go through everything once more to reach the end of the rope they have grasped the end of and find Mercan. While Merdan is making a new stage in his friendship with Macit, Yekta is ready to plunge into darkness he would never want to get involved in just to help Ceylin. Ilgaz and Ceylin have to put their differences aside and pursue every scrap of information as if they were a family again. Everyone's efforts are rewarded, especially theirs; at the end of the day, they will go after the truth that has been underneath them all this time but that they have not seen, and both of them will be stunned.
For Ceylin and Ilgaz, who are clinging to every possibility in their search for Mercan, the possibilities that have been constantly bifurcating and increasing until now are slowly diminishing and pushing them toward the truth. Their first goal is to unravel the mystery behind Efe, but on the way, they are confronted with a shocking reality. Everyone continues to mobilize in their own ways to search for Mercan. Tuğçe uses all her determination to find Mercan and reaches a new piece of information. As Yekta faces the fact that Kadir is much more dangerous than he imagined, Can and Osman will be joined by someone new. As Eren continues to watch the statements of the suspects on the beach that day, he realizes a detail that will shock everyone. Ceylin and Ilgaz find themselves in an unexpected and dangerous situation due to the illegal choices they made to find Mercan. What they don't know is that they are facing the reality of where Mercan is.
An unexpected accident awaits Ilgaz and Ceylin on their journey to find Mercan. While they are waiting to reunite and hug their daughter safely as soon as possible, this obstacle they will face and what will happen next will be enough to shake them both. Dilek's truth touching Eren's own life as he pursues Mercan, and the details told will be enough to shatter his world. Yekta, who is determined to take responsibility for Ceylin, will once again have to make an alliance with the darkness, even if he doesn't want to. Will Çınar, who intends to make himself shine in Parla's eyes by doing business with Osman and Can, find a place for himself at the new table? While trying to reach Filiz, Ilgaz and Ceylin will encounter a new collaboration that they did not expect on Dilek's side. It is very close that the door to happy days will be opened for Ilgaz, who is at the top of the list of those who will not forgive himself regarding Mercan, and Ceylin, who risks everything to find her daughter.
The discovery of Mercan has enlightened everyone's world, especially Ilgaz and Ceylin. A great effort awaits Ceylin and Ilgaz to meet their daughter again, to understand her and to become a family again. Yekta, who gets more involved in Kadir's darkness each time, has to make a big decision. Osman, Can and Çınar, who still don't understand what they are getting into, are pressured by the tasks they need to complete. On the other hand, Merdan will pursue an unpleasant truth about Defne. The steps Nil will take in the Filiz and Dilek case and their results will astonish everyone. Ceylin, who is tested by the absence of her daughter, will have to give a big test about herself. Ceylin and Ilgaz's journey, which will not end only with finding Mercan, has just begun. Separating their daughter from Filiz, physically and emotionally, marks a very difficult process. Now they have to unite and fight for their daughter more than ever.
Determined not to let Filiz into their lives again, Ceylin's plan for this purpose will lead her into a dilemma. Yekta, who finds Nil on the other side every time, will try to solve this problem once and for all. At the end of the day, Yekta, who is already in trouble with Kadir, and thus the trio of Osman, Can, Çınar, will be shaken with a big shock on their own fronts. A journey she could never have foreseen awaits Defne, who first falls under the radar of Çınar and then her grandfather. On the other hand, Mercan, who is trying to adapt to her new life, is awaited by a curious group of relatives who have been longing for years and are eager to embrace her as soon as possible. Ilgaz knows very well what Ceylin is capable of doing when she is desperate. Ceylin's impulsive walk alone is enough to anger Ilgaz. Will the happy days in which they have to stand side by side for their daughter be a harbinger of even happier days, or is every moment about to turn into a nightmare?
Ceylin, who breathes a sigh of relief when Mercan is found and settles in the house, will find herself in a conscience examination with the weight of the process and what it makes her feel. The incident that happened to her when she was in her third year at university and that she wants to go back and fix will be enough to confuse her present. Ceylin will also remember those who are no longer alive, such as Engin, Zafer, and İnci, and will come face to face with Yekta's old, dark side. On the other hand, the new fatal case that shakes the police department will drop like a bomb on everyone's agenda. Can's death has shown Kadir's determination and ruthlessness. Ilgaz and Ceylin, who have taken it for granted how much they love each other and that one is incomplete without the other, have to deal with the ghosts of the past together and by joining forces. Ceylin is unaware that a shocking and unexpected ending awaits her as she digs into her past.
Ceylin chooses a difficult path she has never experienced before to save Tülin, who is about to take her last breath in her arms. In order to reveal the truth as soon as possible, she will go on a journey, hand in hand with Ilgaz, going over every detail over and over again. Osman makes a spontaneous plan with Çınar to prevent the body in his garden from being noticed by others. The unknown file, which started with the actor shooting himself on the set of the series, will keep Metin, Eren and Tuğçe very busy. On the other hand, Yekta is waiting for a confrontation with the situations that he hid from Ceylin in the Tülin incident and never wanted to be revealed and avoided talking about. With the continuous new events, Ilgaz will unravel the knot and begin to see the whole. At the end of the day, he will be shocked that the point where the rope is resolved somehow puts Ceylin and Mercan under threat.
Ceylin unknowingly comes face to face with the murderer they are looking for. Mercan's unintentional stay in the middle of the incident will be enough to drive Ilgaz crazy. Moreover, what Okan wants Ilgaz to do to put an end to this situation in which he holds everyone in Tilmen at gunpoint is not likely to be solved easily. The police, headed by Ilgaz, will have to blockade Tilmen Hukuk with all its units. Osman and Çınar, who are barely able to collect Kadir's money, hope to pay off their debts and cut off the relationship. On the other hand, Osman is unaware of Aylin's wrath that awaits him, and it is time for them to confront each other. All family members are on alert for Ceylin and Mercan. Ceylin will make a great effort from the inside, Ilgaz from the outside, for Mercan, whom they are trying to heal from her past wounds, to prevent her from experiencing new ones. But at the end of the day, an event that no one can predict will be enough to distract everyone.
In Yekta's absence, Kadir makes an even more difficult request of Osman and Çınar to settle his debts. The duo will be left on their own with their non-existent business skills, but the decisions they make along the way will turn everyone's world upside down. While Tuğçe and Efe are in a full-fledged rapprochement away from prying eyes, Parla is waiting for a back story about Çınar that she has never known until now. A new forensic case will fall into the laps of Ilgaz and Ceylin, who return to their ranks of prosecutors and lawyers like the old days. The events that begin with the woman found unconscious and unidentified are the first spill of a river that is on its way out of its bed, and if left unchecked, it is likely to sweep away all those in its path.
At the table in Ceylin and Ilgaz's house, the tension over who will eat the marked pizza is at its peak. Osman, who is watching them anxiously, has a decision to make without letting anyone know anything. A story that will shatter their hearts awaits Ceylin, Ilgaz, and the security crew, who are determined to follow Seçil's steps. With the horrifying details that will emerge, it will be more difficult than ever to unravel this case that is shrouded in so many unknowns. It is now Yekta's turn to intervene for Osman and Çınar, whom Kadir has taken in his grasp. On the other hand, someone else they never expected will see this downhill slide and come after them. While Ilgaz mobilizes all his forensic power to solve the case of Seçil and the growing case, Ceylin will pursue Seçil's story in her own way. At the end of the day, Ceylin and Ilgaz, who are invincible when they combine their powers from their own fields, are waiting for executions they never expected.
Ceylin and Ilgaz are met with unexpected deaths in the case sparked by Seçil's story. On their separate paths, they come across an organized evil network they have never seen before. Turned into puppets in Kadir's hands, Osman and Çınar face difficult times ahead. With the involvement of Merdan and then Ceylin, everything will have to be revealed as it is. The decisions that must be made at the end of the day will shake everyone's world, especially Aylin and Parla. In the case of Seçil, which leads back to Kadir, this time, it is Kadir's turn to make a move. As enemies and friends become clearer and clearer, will Kadir be able to use his connections to exonerate himself and his actions? Bringing down the organization, whose roots go deeper than they ever imagined, will be one of the biggest tests of justice for Ilgaz. Will the war he will wage inside and outside, despite all kinds of obstructions, be enough to reinforce his belief in "justice" and give everyone the end they deserve?
Ilgaz's organization operation, in which he even confronts the chief prosecutor, has come to an end, and everyone, including the chief prosecutor, has been unmasked. The entire police force, especially Ilgaz and Eren, will mobilize to catch the fugitive Nadide and Kadir as soon as possible. On the other hand, Efe's surprise phone call will upset all the balances, and at the same time, it will be enough to give him the slap of his life. Osman and Çınar, who no longer hold back from telling what they know about the Kadir case, have problems to face in their personal lives; both with their families and with themselves... Yekta, Ceylin, and Parla will do everything they can to provide legal services to the victims of the organization. A brand new turn awaits Ceylin and Ilgaz's relationship, where whichever one of them falls, the other one reaches out a hand, grasps it tightly, and pulls them back to their feet each time.
Ilgaz has Kadir, the cause of his father's death, firmly cornered. The fairest choice he tries to find within himself does not seem to be enough to cool everyone's hearts. In addition, the case of Meltem, one of the victimized girls of the organization that was brought down, drops like a bomb on Ceylin and Ilgaz's agenda. After the collapse of their business with Osman, Parla's departure, and the death of his father, Çınar is now waiting for a voice message from his father. After the final confrontation with his brother Ilgaz, which will bring things to a breaking point, Çınar is waiting for a journey away from everyone and into himself. Ceylin and Ilgaz are faced with the Meltem case with all its unknowns. Their professional separation will lead them to pursue clues from different places. At the end of the day, the truth that both of them come close to finding will affect their own realities and make their differences more visible.
Ilgaz is trying to find out who killed Meltem's father from home as soon as possible. However, the fact that Ceylin, who was following the same case, knew more than him and thought that she was hiding it from him made him angry. Their professional separation will bring out the tension between them. Help comes from an unexpected place for Osman, who is trying to find a new way and hold on to life. On the other hand, Merdan has his own plans. Çınar's disappearance worries everyone, especially Ilgaz and Parla. Looking for his own way, Çınar finds himself in a completely different world that no one knows about. While Ceylin deals with the hospital case with Yekta, she also mobilizes all her wealth to support Meltem and her family, who have already been victimized. In the case where Ilgaz is in control from moment to moment, it is difficult for both of them to move forward by hiding what they found from each other.
While a child being guilty puts Ilgaz between conscience and justice, the new "missing child" file that Ceylin receives will escalate the tensions between Ilgaz and her even further. Moreover, the investigating officer in the case is Ceylin's ex-boyfriend, Fırat. The newly appointed supervisor at the police station, Kubilay, will change the established order of everyone, especially Eren. On the other hand, the new prosecutor assigned to the courthouse, Ertuğrul, brings a wind that is beyond the usual even before he arrives. Despite all the differences between Ceylin and Ilgaz, their relationship is in danger. Their marriage, already walking on a thin line, has been wounded with the growth of their professional conflicts. Now, with the uncertainty of Ceylin's past, the dark clouds that have settled over them make it even more difficult to defeat them and stand side by side again.
Ilgaz's conversation has stirred unexpected emotions within Ceylin. She finds herself questioning whether she is truly happy with the life she's leading and the person she has become due to fate's twists and turns. She feels torn between what she has expressed to Ilgaz and what remains unsaid. The discovery of Yiğit's body has sent shockwaves through everyone. The entire family is now under suspicion. As Ceylin endeavors to unravel the family's secrets, she will also come to realize that even Yekta, who is seemingly close to her, is keeping secrets from her. Merdan is on the brink of accessing Kadir's hidden fortune through his plan with Osman. Kürşat's news of death will serve as the catalyst for a completely different path for Çınar. Fırat's forced involvement in the Yiğit case has created a rift in Ceylin and Ilgaz's relationship. While their relationship has been tested before, this time, the distance between them seems harder to bridge.
Ceylin has chosen to accept herself as she is in the war within herself. Moreover, now that the prosecutor İclal is standing right next to her and Ilgaz, with all the mystery of Ilgaz's past... The curtain of mystery behind Kadir's death is about to be revealed. İclal is the first name that the prosecutor sees as a suspect and orders an operation, which will shock everyone. Ceylin, who wants to reveal the truth as soon as possible, will choose dangerous paths and leave herself and Yekta in a difficult situation. Left alone with a situation he never wanted, Çınar is faced with the opposing demands of those in the association. Ceylin and Ilgaz's relationship, which has become stronger under all kinds of difficult conditions and situations, is on the eve of a completely different turning point. While they can heal each other in every difficulty, their fate is preparing tests for them that they never expected.
Ceylin and Ilgaz were trying to resolve their tense relationship when Iclal's arrival hit their agenda like a bomb. Witnessing the conversation between Ilgaz and Iclal from the interrogation room has left Ceylin shaken, expecting a back story she has never heard before. The events that started with Yiğit's death and escalated with the murder of his brother Mustafa, who was a secret witness, have become increasingly complicated. In the Kaya family, who has not yet overcome the loss of their father, things are still unsettled. After Merdan was arrested on suspicion of killing Kadir, all arrows are now pointing at Çınar as the suspect. Ceylin, who doesn't hesitate to use any means necessary for her loved ones, is facing an impossible situation. Caught between the promises she made to Ilgaz, the need to save Çınar, the truth-seeking Iclal, and her family, she is stuck. And this time, with Yekta also involved in lifting the stone for Çınar...
Ceylin, in her quest to find and rescue Çınar, has come face to face with her own past. On the other hand, Ilgaz, devastated by an unexpected betrayal, is also searching for Çınar. The bitter truth that unites Ceylin and Ilgaz at the end of their journey will be enough to shake the entire family. With the murders of Kadir and Mustafa, all unanswered questions have converged around the "association". Ilgaz and İclal must collaborate on their separate investigations and research. However, at the end of the day, the revelation that Ceylin and Yekta are involved with the association will open up a brand new mystery that will make both cases forgettable. For Ceylin and Ilgaz, who have faced every kind of pain from those closest to them, it is time to loosen some familial ties. Meanwhile, the time has come for them and the whole family to come together again; Mercan's first birthday... However, today, when everyone seems happy, heralds the beginning of the unhappiest days for some.
İclal's surprise visit and intimidation to Ceylin on Mercan's birthday surprised her. The paths that Yekta and Ceylin have taken suddenly become a nightmare for both of their professional lives. The incident, which seems like an ordinary judicial case at first, will hit Ilgaz's agenda like a bomb, with great mysteries behind it. Meanwhile, a murder case at the police station will shock everyone. While Eren is drawn to passive duties at the police station, a familiar face will arrive and he will suddenly find himself in the middle of all events. On the one hand, Ilgaz is working hard after his file, and on the other hand, Ceylin is trying to cover everyone's tracks in her own ways... While they are trying to make the lives of everyone around them better to the extent that they can intervene, they are unaware of the plan of fate. A discovery pursued without anyone's knowledge is about to throw everyone into a huge darkness.
Ceylin finds herself defending Yekta in a peace court, while Ilgaz is on a quest to find out who died in the house that was broken into for theft. Efe has a severed head of unknown origin, and Eren has dusty old files. Until everyone's agenda changes irreversibly with Tuğçe's return... Eren sees Kubilay, who has locked his daughter in the field and himself at the table, as the primary culprit of the events. His steps taken in anger will lead to the closing of many doors for him. Meanwhile, Yekta, who is dragged into a professional deadlock with Iclal's arrival, awaits his own marriage. Ceylin and Ilgaz mobilize all their resources and efforts for Tuğçe. On the other hand, they must find a way to control Eren, whom they think will not be able to maintain his composure, stand by him, and give him the truth. However, what they do not know is that the revenge blade, which is slowly being sharpened, has already been drawn from its sheath...
Ilgaz and the police have found the scene of Tuğçe's incident and are chasing after details. The smallest clue they find, the bits of information they gather, will lead them to unexpected places. The homicide department is particularly mobilized, with all units on high alert. Eren has been cut off from the police, as well as all possible updates. With all his determination, he must investigate his daughter's case parallel to the official investigation. The anonymous attackers are about to take on a tangible form for Eren. Ceylin wants to be involved in Tuğçe's investigation with Yekta. Their independent sources and methods outside of the police force could change the course of the investigation. Ceylin and Ilgaz are speeding towards uncovering the details of the case by combining their efforts. However, they are unaware that a third path has already come into play. At the end of the day, all intertwining roads will converge on Tuğçe, who lies in a hospital bed, unaware of everything.
Ceylin, Ilgaz, and the police rush to the hospital, thinking that Tuğçe is in danger. It's only a matter of time before they come face to face with a criminal they've never known before, who has infiltrated even those closest to Tuğçe. The police, along with all units, are working tirelessly day and night for their colleague Tuğçe. Meanwhile, Eren, empowered by his collaboration with Efe, is determined to go all the way. In this adventure, unexpected and brand-new allies will join him. While Yekta tries to thaw the ice with İclal, Laçin will change her plans with a counterattack. As Osman slowly moves towards his dream path with Zümrüt, Aylin also follows Zümrüt on her own. Having made significant progress in shedding light on what happened to Tuğçe and capturing the culprits, Ceylin and Ilgaz inevitably link the connected murders to a single person: Eren. They are facing a major interrogation by their closest friends.
Ilgaz, the police and the courthouse captured the fugitives involved in the Tuğçe incident dead, whom they were pursuing. Ilgaz is determined to follow the question he is afraid of hearing the answer to, to the end, and not to err on the scales of justice. As Tuğçe slowly comes to her senses, she will burst into tears with Efe's big surprise. As soon as Osman divorces Aylin, he finds himself with Zümrüt, being drawn step by step into a dark plan that he does not know about. On the other hand, he makes another move to corner Laçin, whose anger is increasing. With a new development, Ceylin suddenly finds herself in the middle of the chaos of the case of children poisoned at school. The suspicion of "Eren", which started with Ilgaz and Ceylin and increased in everyone, now makes it necessary to take Eren to the stand. Eren's striking words and perspective on events shake everyone deeply.
Ilgaz fell right into the heat of the fatal accident in front of the hospital. Ceylin, on the other hand, found herself in turmoil in the school case; Children are transported to the hospital one by one. Events await both of them, in which they take their steps into great unknowns. On the other hand, their wedding anniversary has come. Ilgaz and Eren are looking for concrete evidence in the new case they are working on together. However, their inability to reach the truth points to a case that is about to be closed as "unknown perpetrator". Despite all the burden of the case, Ceylin is also trying to find a form of defense with Yekta to get Çınar a trial without arrest. With İclal's acceptance, Yekta enters into a dangerous game with Bülent Kısmetov. While Ceylin and Ilgaz's romantic time alone strengthens their relationship even more; The enemy who will take Ilgaz hostage in five days is waiting for his time in a corner.
Ilgaz, together with Eren, is making a great effort to bring the real criminal to justice. The murder file brought by Eren, which will expire, will be enough to cloud the present while digging into the past. On the other hand, Ceylin is advancing rapidly in the school case and is trying to catch the teacher who is chasing her. With the revelation of Rafet, Yekta creates a new road map in his relationship with Bülent. Osman, on the other hand, embarks on a surprise plan that will save both Zümrüt and his own life. Ceylin, together with Yekta, pursues the only clue they have to prove Çınar's innocence. After Ilgaz and Ceylin's wedding anniversary celebration, they are looking for a way to make the most of their upcoming holidays. But it is only a matter of time before the psychopath waiting in ambush takes action to kidnap Ilgaz. The belief in good days that they dream of with hope is about to turn into a nightmare at any moment.
Ilgaz's determined pursuit of Yeliz quickly draws her into a trap. Very difficult times await Ceylin, who pays close attention to every step Ilgaz takes throughout the day. Moreover, there is a Mercan at home who asks about Ilgaz and is constantly talking... On the other hand, for Çınar, whose hearing day has arrived, Dilan, who is the key to getting out of prison, must be found as soon as possible and persuaded to testify. Yekta's plan to capture Bülent is about to go wrong. Alarm bells are ringing loudly for Yekta, who is cornered and now it is his turn to act. Ilgaz is face to face with the murderer, who asks how he wants his death to be and demands an answer; It is as if he is looking into the eyes of his own death. In a world where loved ones are not with them, every answer carries great meaninglessness. His choice will take him on an unexpected, unknown journey, far from everyone.
The entire courthouse and police department to find Ilgaz as soon as possible; mobilized with all its units. Everyone shares the slightest clue they have and continues to investigate rapidly from all sides. Unaware of all this, Ilgaz finds himself in the waves while looking for a way to escape. While Ceylin is tested by Ilgaz's absence, on the other hand, she has to keep the family together, especially not to make Mercan feel anything. Moreover, in all this effort, Çınar's court date has come and there is no one other than Ceylin who can take part in the case. Yekta is about to make his final shot in the dangerous Bülent game and settle accounts for his past with İclal. Ilgaz and Ceylin, who have come out of many troubles together, maybe less but always stronger, are left with a question that is difficult to answer.
An unidentified body found in a container; Metin and Eren standing over the body... İnci and Engin who came to the courthouse to celebrate Ceylin's birthday... Ilgaz Kaya, the prosecutor who was called to the scene; who quietly passed by the Ceylins... Everyone is as they should be, as they are remembered; but everything is different... This time Ceylin and Ilgaz are suspects in the same murder! Ceylin and Ilgaz are a couple who have been brought together by many family secrets around a murder! A love story tied with invisible threads that tighten and tighten as they untie the knots... A corpse that appears in their garden in the city where they go to start a brand new life, as if to underline that they cannot escape their fate... Perhaps a curse... Do two souls searching for each other, unaware of each other for a lifetime, always intersect at some place, at some time? Does everything end where it begins? Or does everything begin in order to end?
