A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
-[soft music plays] -[wind blows]
[birds caw]
[Erhan] Sorry, babe. Something urgent came up. I didn't have time to let you know.
-[Hannah] Where are you? -Hey, what are you doing? You promised.
Don't worry. I'll be on the road for a little while.
[Hannah] Erhan, where are you going?
Listen, I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Okay, baby?
I'll be home soon.
-[Hannah] Love me. -You bet I do.
Now what are you doing?
Just making sure I can't be found, if I haven't been already.
Come on. Nobody's looking for us. Don't be absurd.
-You're being absurd because Serdar is. -Oh, stop this bullshit!
Erhan, didn't you see the ring on Serdar's finger?
The same symbol's on the stone and his ring.
It's impossible that that could only be a coincidence.
Please, we're here to check out those passages, not play detective,
then at Göbekli Tepe you show me where you found that stone.
And no more conspiracy theories. I don't wanna hear any more about it.
Yes, general!
What do you want me to do?
There's no more to tell you. He didn't say anything else.
Maybe he suspects me, I don't know.
Unlikely.
It's time for you to get ready, Hannah.
Or you'll be late for your father-in-law.
I don't like this sneaking around Erhan anymore, sir.
Why not just tell him the truth?
And that is?
I'd start with the real reason you adopted him.
What you're actually trying to get your hands on.
And you're planning a little love nest, will that do?
-Stop that! -[tense music plays]
It's done, Hannah.
You tend to your own business and I'll tend to mine.
Well, I love Erhan and I'm not going to lie to him.
Then I guess you'll understand
that he and Atiye need to be found soon.
Or you'll lose him forever.
[chuckles]
Sansar…
Get some men and look for Atiye.
And I also want you to forge a police file on her,
so she'll have no place to hide.
Maybe there's something in here,
some kind of clue of where to start.
How did you come to know my father?
I didn't know him really, I just…
I followed him when I noticed him watching Elif from a distance.
Like a guardian angel? Don't give me that.
[scoffs] Give me a break.
[chuckles] Super Dad! Yeah, what a guy.
You've got every right to be angry, okay?
But don't forget he was trying to protect you and her.
Yeah! Bullshit.
And who are you, anyway? Why the hell did he say I should trust you?
Because our families know each other.
Your father and my grandmother knew each other from before.
How's that?
Does it make a difference?
We're here to explore those tunnels and go to Göbekli Tepe.
[sighs] I don't even know what my father discovered there in the first place.
He found a cave under Göbekli Tepe a long time ago.
And what's in it is…
What's in it is what? Come on, Atiye.
-If I tell you, you won't believe me. -[Erhan] Give it a shot. Go on, try me.
-Nuh-uh. You'll have to see it yourself. -[Erhan] I don't believe this.
It's important we find that place, Erhan. Otherwise, women will…
Go on, say it!
No baby will ever be born again.
[tense music plays]
[sighs]
This is such bullshit. She's nuts.
What am I doing here, anyway?
There isn't a thing you said I can find a valid reason for.
You talk like a goddamn crazy person. I'm even crazier for having believed it.
So, the symbol in the library? None of that means anything?
You have to understand me, as a scientist, I only look at facts and hard evidence.
I've been digging for years and haven't found anything but pure limestone.
-I don't think that cave exists! -It does.
[groans] I have no memories of my father.
So, it's a farce?
It was hidden because it fell into the wrong hands, but it exists.
[sighs] Come on.
Let's go get something to eat then drive back to Istanbul.
Or stay and take a balloon ride. They're filled with hot air too!
Since you are so darn pig-headed, you've no chance of finding the cave.
That's because your world is based on logic and evidence. My God!
-I can't believe how arrogant you are! -I'm the arrogant one?
You're the one telling me to forget everything I've ever known
and trust you unquestionably!
What's so tough about it?
Is admitting there are facts beyond our knowing so impossible?
What about quantum physics, alright?
Everybody laughed at parallel universes, and then they proved it.
Tell me how we fit in with any of that.
[sighs]
It's got everything to do with it, because…
Because I'm from one of those universes, Erhan.
[soft music plays]
A probability where we fell in love with each other and…
and where your child is in my womb now.
[laughs]
That's nuts.
[echoing]
You wanna tell me how we fit in with any of that?
Um… No, no. You're right. We don't fit in at all!
-[faint traffic noise] -[birds caw]
[sighs]
PREGNANCY TEST RESULT: POSITIVE
[knocking]
What is it, Osman?
Inspector, I brought you a file I think you should look at.
Come in.
Atiye's print match came back positive, sir.
ISTANBUL POLICE DEPARTMENT
What the…?
These are petty crimes, small change.
[tuts] Atiye would never do stuff like this.
Maybe, but every station, roadblock, and airport were sent her description.
Every unit's looking for her.
[atmospheric music plays]
[sighs]
Listen, Osman, I need to find her before anybody.
If you hear something, anything at all, you tell me first, you got it?
-Of course, Inspector. -Great.
What if we started with the underground city?
It's even larger than what's above ground.
No matter where we start, it's gonna be rough going.
Don't forget, there have been landslides and tectonic shifts over time,
so the shape of the passages will have changed.
We might find something, anyway.
-From the looks of this-- -Hey, uh... your nose is bleeding.
Huh.
Thanks.
[echoing]
You okay?
I'm fine. Don't worry.
-[goat bleats] -You alright?
Uh-huh.
Are you taking any medication?
No, I probably just got car-sick.
I'm okay.
-You wanna see a doctor? -It's fine.
Kadir, that's not you, is it?
Uh, I think you're confusing me with someone else.
My name's not Kadir.
Kadir, were you reborn, old friend? It's like you haven't aged.
Mister, my name's not Kadir.
Course it is! You're from there.
Narlıkuyu, that Kadir.
[tense music plays]
Old Kadir was my grandfather. You probably have me confused with him.
Ah…
You're the spitting image of him.
What do they call you?
Erhan.
Ha! Erhan!
Well, I'll be.
So, you're here visiting your mother's grave, are you?
[atmospheric music plays]
This is where she's buried?
Uncle Yusuf, let's go. Be well.
You take care.
Are you from here?
Uh… I was born here.
And you didn't think to tell me?
Didn't think it mattered.
It matters, Erhan. It means you have a connection to all this.
Can we visit your mother's grave, seeing we've come all this way?
[Melek] What is it? What's so urgent?
[tense music plays]
[Elif] I found it in the pocket of Ozan's jacket.
I have the feeling he didn't really go abroad.
Yes, but…
What's this mean, then?
Did Ozan tell you where he was going?
Sure, I know he said it was overseas, but did he tell you where?
Nothing.
Just that he wanted to get away.
And that he was finished with you.
-Oh, really? -That's right.
Atiye's disappeared, too.
Or do you believe that's just a coincidence?
Did you see her?
She just said, "So long," and then took off.
I called her, but it doesn't ring.
Should she check in with you again,
you tell me where she is. Is that clear?
And only me.
-[Atiye] How long did you live here? -Until I was about five or six.
-Elif wasn't born yet. -[goats bleat]
Do you remember anybody? Any relatives who might still be alive?
No.
I wasn't curious about the people who took my mom's body and left us by ourselves.
[wind blows]
[atmospheric music plays]
Erhan. Come on, let's follow her.
[barking]
[knocking]
[barking]
[Nazım] Who is it?
Um, my name's Hannah.
Your son, Erhan's wife.
[door unlocks]
Erhan hasn't come home.
Please help me find where he is.
[Hannah] Please.
[door chain rattles]
[unlocking]
Sorry to bother you.
It's been hours since I received any news from him. I'm worried sick about him.
Something may have happened to him. I thought of you.
Okay, I get it, you're looking for him. Yeah, so?
The real question is who?
Who else is looking for Erhan?
[Nazım] How did you get this address?
Um… I'm really sorry, but I don't understand what you--
What do you want from me, lady?
[tense music plays]
If you really want me to believe you love Erhan,
it's better you don't say another word.
As long as we're being open.
Now, you either tell me where Erhan is hiding,
or Elif's life in danger.
How dare you?
Aren't you afraid I'll tell my son?
Mmm. No, no.
Nazım "invisible" Kurtiz?
Erhan can't even see you.
Oh, yeah. He thinks that, um…
you're nothing but a big hole in his life, a cipher.
So, face it. The truth is you have no value for him at all.
And, um… did I say he's furious with you?
[inhales] You won't harm Elif, I know you.
Well, how about someone else then?
Now tell me…
where exactly Erhan's hideout is.
And if Atiye's with him.
Otherwise, you'll tell him you're responsible for the death of his sister.
Just like you caused the death of his dear mother.
PRAY FOR HER SOUL
[Erhan] Mom.
I just…
[soft music plays]
It's so strange…
When I say it like that…
it's as if you're still around.
[sighs] Poppa's still alive.
I know you know it.
And you know what I'm gonna say, but it's okay, so, um…
I've thought about this a lot, uh…
I wish it had been me that died in the earthquake…
but…
[sighs]
It's all so weird. It feels like I'm…
in the middle of a shift of some kind and…
everything in my life's changing and I…
don't know if I'm ready, Mom.
She was a beautiful woman.
She was.
Those flowers, um… they're not old.
And idea who'd put them there?
[rooster crows]
-Uh-uh. -[woman] May I put some water there, dear?
Of course, thank you.
[Atiye] Um, those flowers…
would you happen to have seen who brought those?
There's a woman who often comes to see her.
-Who is it? -She's an old woman.
They call her the woman with the star mark.
Is it a sort of birth mark?
I guess so, yes.
-How could we get a hold of her? -I wouldn't know, miss.
[soft music plays]
Take this.
Thank you.
We've found a place to start at least. I think we should go look for that woman.
Why's that?
Check this out.
What's wrong?
Just come take a look. I won't bite.
-What am I supposed to…? -There. Right there.
[atmospheric music plays]
There's a mark that resembles a star, but I don't see what--
I know that woman can lead us to the place we're looking for.
And I know it sounds ridiculous to you, but I'm asking you to trust me.
Are now we're gonna have to search for this woman all over Cappadocia?
[man] Erhan!
Is that you?
-Nazım's son, Erhan, am I right? -That's my name.
I'm so glad you're here!
Welcome. Welcome!
Uh… Thank you.
You don't remember me?
Uh, Uncle İlyas, the potter?
[atmospheric music plays]
Uh… Uncle İlyas, how did you find me?
In the coffee house, I heard you were here,
so I ran all the way to say I still have the trust you left me.
I've been waiting for you for years.
What do you mean, a trust?
That's right, it's your trust.
[whirring]
[tense music plays]
[Serdar] Darling?
-Serdar. -[Serdar] Where are you?
Come over here.
Well… come on.
Melek…
I want an explanation, Serdar, and I want it this instant.
Just be calm. I'll tell you.
[Serdar] Some things I haven't shared with you, love.
I'm sorry I didn't.
But this is about the people I'm working with.
-So, please, please believe me. -[echoing]
It's for your own good that I've kept this from you.
[Melek] This was found in Ozan's pocket.
That… What Serap said…
I'm not understanding certain things.
I want my boy.
You find him.
Please.
[phone rings]
Well, go ahead.
-Hello? -[Hannah] I know where they are.
[Erhan] It's exactly the same as it was.
[chuckles]
I remember it all.
It's wonderful you recall Erhan's childhood.
You have a good memory.
No. You don't forget a child like Erhan.
[İlyas] When this naughty boy was about five years old,
he scared the life out of everyone in this town.
How'd he manage it?
-Here. -Thanks a lot.
[İlyas chuckles] He got lost, poor thing.
The whole town searched for him for five days and five nights.
We looked everywhere, but we just couldn't find him.
Your poor mother…
She just crumbled, God rest her soul.
Hmm. Weird, I don't remember anything.
So, what then?
We found him in a hole in the ground.
-In a cave after five days. -[soft music plays]
He didn't speak for a long time after that.
We couldn't understand how he'd survived,
without eating or drinking, all that time alone.
Five days alone? That's even worse than me.
You don't remember?
Then rumors began to circulate.
It happens.
Some people said he'd seen a jinni.
And some said…
he'd become nothing less than a saint.
And you came to me every day after that incident…
-[atmospheric music plays] -…and you made these.
One day you said, "Uncle İlyas,
keep these for me. Someday, I'll come back to take them."
Who listens to a five-year-old kid, but…
you… you were so serious when you said that,
what could I do? So, I listened to you.
Then again, there was that woman who said…
"You have to get ready.
Erhan is coming, İlyas.
You have to prepare the trust."
Who was it?
The one with the tattoos on her face.
They call her the woman with the star mark here.
She lives in the very house where you were born and raised.
[Melek, on tape] Serap, do you remember your childhood?
[Serap] Which one?
[Melek] Oh, for example, your first crystal clear recollection.
What's the very first thing you remember?
[Serap] I remember my mother sitting below Venus.
And her gazing up at the star.
I think I was seven or eight.
She was telling me about the Princess of Cappadocia.
"Her name is İsias.
Some people call her İsis.
She's known as the goddess of birth.
And this star was the place she came from."
[phone vibrates, rings]
Yeah, what?
[man] Uh, Nevşehir and surrounding police stations have been notified, Inspector.
Anyone finds her, you just make sure no one hurts her.
Yes, sir.
[rhythmic music plays]
[rooster crows]
[atmospheric music plays]
It's strange…
It feels like time has stopped here.
Like nothing's moved.
At last, you're here.
It can't…
Grandma!
Atiye!
-You're here, you're here. -[sighs happily]
Excuse me, but what are you doing in my house?
Don't worry. I'll be happy to clear any doubts. Why don't you sit?
[soft music plays]
I've been waiting here for years.
I've protected this house since you went away.
That was important because of your treasure,
the treasure that little Erhan hid in his room so many years ago.
[atmospheric music plays]
[Erhan] I drew these?
Are you sure?
[Zühre] Oh, yes, you did.
Those are the dreams of your childhood.
You knew your duty, even though you were nothing more than a small child.
[Zühre] But nobody believed you, nobody listened to you.
Except for one person…
Your papa, Nazım.
He trusted in your vision, Erhan.
He took his family to Urfa
and found the center of that area you had discovered.
But, unfortunately,
he made a… an error, and the wrong hands control it now.
[atmospheric music plays]
Could my dad be… You don't think he could be cursed, do you?
Oh now, don't you go believing in curses.
Everything that occurs should occur.
It all happens for the best.
Now that you are here, you have the power to change everything again.
It's easy.
You can do it. Ask your soul.
Only the soul can create change.
Listen to it.
[Erhan] Well, what does that mean?
We've met before, you and I.
Only to find each other again.
And Atiye and you…
the two of you met long before that.
A long, long time ago.
Please, I'm not following you.
I know, dear.
You need to go there.
To the cave? But how do we find it?
It's in Love Valley.
The tunnel will open at sunset.
You need to make good time
before the real storm begins.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Melek] But, Serap, what exactly does this have to do with you?
[Serap] "She had a partner.
One sought the mystery of the mountains,
the other the mystery of the underground.
When they united, the womb of the Earth gave birth.
That child was entrusted to us," she said.
"And when the time is right,
the child will open the door to the mystery of the heavens and the Earth."
[Atiye] Why do they call this Love Valley?
[Erhan] Well, according to the story
there were two enemy villages here.
A boy from one village fell in love with a girl from the other,
and they married in secret.
On the wedding night, villagers from the girl's village
ambushed them and killed the boy.
The girl couldn't take the pain and committed suicide.
The gods got angry
and they threw rocks down on this valley and that's how these shapes were formed.
My mother used to tell me that.
She often brought me out here.
[soft music plays]
You know, I can imagine…
how hard to comprehend this is.
Then go ahead.
What?
Everything.
Tell me all those things you said I wouldn't believe even if you did tell me.
You sure you're ready?
[sighs]
We have to wait here till sunset. Come on.
[laughs] When did you get that?
[chuckles]
I thought it might be a good idea.
And it's a tough job putting up with you.
Besides, the wine here's famous.
[dog barks]
[tense music plays]
Who are you looking for?
Erhan. Um… I'm his wife.
Erhan is where he should be, dear,
although I'm not sure I can say the same for you.
[chuckles] If possible, I'd like to know where he is.
-[loud echoing] -[gasps]
[gasping]
What happened there? Who are you?
I just showed you the truth, is all.
I'm Erhan's wife. That's what's important.
And you'd better say where he is.
Or I'll burn this place.
I'll put you inside and I'll burn the house down if you don't say where he is!
How do you mix burning, destroying,
rage, and love in the same thought?
You seem a bit confused.
[atmospheric music plays]
[phone vibrates]
INCOMING CALL
You can still choose, you know.
You still have a chance to fight.
Just say where I can find him.
-[wind blows] -[atmospheric music plays]
[Atiye] That mystery under the ground, that cave… it's real.
I was there. I was inside it together with the man I love.
And, um… Where is he now? What happened to him?
Far away.
I find that cave, I might find him.
Or maybe he'll recall us.
[soft music plays]
There's a miracle there, Erhan.
And believing it is tough, I know what you're going through.
[Atiye] It was built thousands of years ago.
Think of that, thousands of years before people settled down in one place.
They wanted to make a connection, perhaps, to the sky.
I don't know. No one knows why they did it.
Maybe they built their temples to speak with their gods. Nobody knows.
And for some unknown reason, those people covered up those temples again.
Until one day Klaus Schmidt came.
He was the one who discovered them.
[Atiye] Then your father joined the dig.
The things they found are at least 12,000 years old.
[soft music continues]
[Atiye] And you know what else?
Some people believe that place is the paradise of Adam and Eve.
The place where everything began.
The only female figure in there, you know what it is?
What?
A woman giving birth.
You understand now?
Yeah.
Um… The earthquake occurred just as digging was starting to get underway.
That temple was discovered
a long time ago in the place where I come from.
People can visit there.
Scientists from all over the world try to crack its secrets.
"Where I come from?"
Hmm…
Maybe time is… isn't linear.
Maybe something that happened in one timeline is affecting people in others.
Maybe there are millions of us in some other universe.
The man I love is the one who told me that.
He told me something else, too.
He said, "I had no choice but to love you."
What was his name?
[Hannah] Erhan!
[suspenseful music plays]
Hannah?
Hannah! What are you doing here?
Try asking yourself that.
Consorting with this delinquent.
[Erhan] Who?
What delinquent?
The police are looking for her.
That's not true.
Police? What do they want with Atiye?
She's a compulsive liar.
She has a criminal record and she's insane, Erhan.
-Atiye, what's going on? -It's ridiculous.
-[sirens approach] -Then what are those sirens about?
[music grows dramatic]
Atiye!
Hannah, listen. How did you find us?
I'll tell you.
No, I think I'll let the chief inspector tell you himself.
[grunts]
[sirens continue]
Oh, no! Please, don't faint.
Not now.
Chief Inspector Özgürsoy.
-Good to meet you, sir. -Hi, Erhan. How are you?
-Fine. -Please.
[Mustafa sighs]
Could you have a look at this, please?
[atmospheric music plays]
[wind blows]
I don't understand what's going on, Grandma.
The police are… They're looking for me.
They can say whatever they like.
Now it's time for you to remind yourself of who you are.
Everyone holds a vision that is unique.
The roads they take are determined
only according to the evolution of the soul.
The police department has found evidence
that links Atiye to a violent crime spree
that includes robbery and even kidnapping.
Please, what's my mission here?
[atmospheric music continues]
It's to maintain a family legacy.
A tradition that goes back many, many years.
You need to protect that family legacy and the mountain,
the womb for the events of all future time.
[Atiye sighs]
Everything will be different, I guarantee that,
as soon as you remember each other, Atiye.
Why are you here, Mr. Kurtiz? The real reason?
Uh… we came for research, actually.
Atiye said she could help me with that.
Can I ask you exactly what kind of research you came here for?
Mining.
It concerns mining.
[tense music plays]
Hannah?
Let me be straight with you.
I personally don't believe Atiye committed any of those crimes.
I've a lot of years in the force. I looked her right in the eyes.
She can't have done those things.
I need your help, Mr. Kurtiz, to reveal the truth and clear her name.
[man on radio] Inspector, they've found her.
Suspect's location is number 8, Venus Street, over.
-[sirens sound] -[tense music plays]
POLICE
[over megaphone] Atiye Özgürsoy! This is the police! You're surrounded!
They're here already?
[radio bleeps, indistinct chatter]
Police! Open the door!
[gasps]
[through megaphone] Atiye Özgürsoy!
Put your hands up and come out of the house!
You're surrounded!
Atiye Özgürsoy, this is your final warning!
Atiye, you should be going home.
But the passage! You said it was opening.
[atmospheric music plays]
Erhan can still help us. There is still a chance.
Please go. As soon as he is ready, you'll meet.
-[shots fire] -[Atiye exclaims]
No, stop! What are you doing? I'm coming out!
Come on, Grandma.
[grunting] Lie down.
That's it. [grunts]
[groans]
You can do it, Grandma. Hold on.
[weak] Go back home now, Atiye.
Go home.
What do you mean?
You need to speak to a person waiting there.
[groaning] Urfa…
[yells]
[tense music plays]
-[gunfire resumes] -[fast-paced music plays]
Damn it, hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Who ordered you to open fire? Are you out of your minds, you idiots?
-None of us did, Inspector. -Who was it?
The shots came from down there.
[music intensifies]
Oh, no.
[Erhan] Where did you go?
[Hannah] I needed to be alone for a while.
What will happen to Atiye?
She'll go to prison for years, I guess.
And we'll be happily married.
[atmospheric music plays]
What are you doing?
[Hannah] Erhan!
Hey!
Erhan!
Stop!
Erhan!
[atmospheric music continues]
[Erhan] Wait! Please!
Wait!
-[atmospheric music plays] -[wind blows]
[panting]
[wind blows]
[music intensifies]
[man] You've been waiting to go on this trip for a long time.
[Erhan] Who are you?
Why do you stay away, then?
What is the memory that most tortures you?
[music intensifies]
Don't worry, my child.
He'll remember us, you'll see.
-[soft music plays] -And he'll find us.
Your father has to remember us soon.
[atmospheric music plays]
