-Hi, welcome, ma'am. -Hello, good morning.
-Please. -Thank you. Have a good one.
-See the look on her face? -Hopefully it's all fake.
Hello.
We will fight back right away.
And I just got off the phone with Bora.
Every account that tweeted about this will be sued.
Emre will be here any minute.
We should all agree on what we're gonna do or say
regarding the show, what our next move will be.
Kenan, we need to figure this out first.
We should look into it.
You know what this is, Lale?
It's total bullshit. And we're in deep shit.
They're throwing mud at you just to smear your reputation.
Do you ever check out social media?
Those sons of bitches have claimed to watch your sex tape.
Don't worry, I've already talked to the cybercrime unit.
Yeah.
How are you?
Isn't it obvious?
And you Emre? You okay?
İhsan replaced me this morning.
We said it was some medical emergency.
You did good.
I, uh, will have to explain this tomorrow, I guess.
Great. Have you decided on how we'll refute it?
We need to be on the same page.
We will have the greatest comeback this country has ever seen.
We will sue everyone,
and anyone who's talking about it will be destroyed.
Great. I agree with you.
But how are we going to deny it? We need to figure it out.
What do you think, Lale?
I don't know.
In the meantime, I should go talk to Müge.
I'll keep you guys posted.
WOW, LALE KIRAN, HUH?
BRAVO, EMRE. YOU'VE GOT GOOD TASTE
HOLY SHIT, BRO YOU MUST TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!
I SAW IT JUST NOW, DUDE! WELL DONE, BRO
AS THE CROW FLIES
How could you be so stupid, for God's sake?
In a hotel room, Emre? Come on.
Just do your shit at home, okay?
Damn, what should I say? It just happened, you know.
We were just partying.
-Who was behind the camera? -No idea.
Fine, then can we find it? 'Cause I haven't seen it yet.
And apparently, everyone else has.
Now it's nowhere to be found.
The site where I watched it removed it,
but I'll do my best to find it.
-By the way… -Hmm. You want to go on leave.
Exactly. I should lay low for a couple of weeks, maybe.
I agree.
-Although… -Okay then, I should get going.
Talk soon, Müge.
Müge, why'd you just let this guy walk out?
Don't you think that we should be prioritizing the network right now?
Cause Lale's still here.
Sure, but look, let's be honest here, Gül.
We both know that nobody really cares about where Emre's at.
Everyone's eyes are on Lale.
Kenan.
I wonder how he must be feeling.
He's been cheated on.
I bet he's furious now.
Well, I'm gonna check in on Lale.
I'll keep you in the loop.
Gül, Gül.
We should really track down that tape, somehow.
You think it's fake? Is that why you want it found?
Not at all. It's not fake. Emre told me.
It really happened.
But everyone else has seen it already.
And we need to see it too, so let's get that tape.
Mm-hm. I'll try.
We'll figure something out, okay? This will all blow over soon,
don't you worry.
I'm worried about my daughters.
Lale…
Don't worry about that right now. Trust me.
Please.
Hey, good morning.
Everything is all right now, no?
Kenan?
-We'll start suing people. -Suing, huh?
Because it did not happen, Gül.
It's a lie.
Oh, I'm so relieved. I mean, I never had any doubt.
I just wanted to see you and make sure you're all right.
Oh, and by the way…
Certainly management wants us to be united on this.
We should make a decision on what you're gonna, uh,
say on your show tonight.
And by management, you mean Müge, don't you?
Oh, stop this, Kenan. C'mon.
I'll see you in a bit.
You know I love you, guys.
Oh dear.
Müge. What a fucking bitch.
Now that she has leverage, she's gonna enjoy every bit of it.
Let her enjoy it.
Right now, I really don't have time to deal with her.
GUL - LALE'S CONVINCED KENAN. THE GUY DOESN'T BELIEVE IT AT ALL
TYPICAL MAN. IT'S SELF DECEPTION
THEY'LL GO TO COURT. CYBER CRIMES WILL BE INVOLVED
ON AIR?
NOT SURE YET, WE'LL TALK.
THERE'S A SEX TAPE. SHE MUST BACK HER CLAIM, OR WE'LL LOOK LIKE FOOLS
HANG ON, I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO
You know how it is, as always,
it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
This is what we do, it's our job.
How's Mom, by the way? Mm-hm.
Please make sure she takes her medication. She skipped it not too long ago.
All day long, we had to deal with her.
Uh-huh. All right.
All right, I'll have to call you back. All right, bye.
-Of course. We knew this would happen. -Exactly.
-Just my damn luck. Thank you. -Have a good one.
Yours sincerely. Alright.
All right, man. Let's do this.
-Who do you think it is, Kenan? -Obviously, the other party, our rivals.
Who, Yusuf?
Oh, come on, what could he have to do with this?
Lale, it could as well be Güliz.
Or even…
Aslı, you mean?
Don't you think that's a little too obvious, Kenan?
This is her game, Lale. You can't change what you are.
She just knows how to hurt people.
Hell, no.
I really didn't do it, I promise.
Wait a minute.
Maybe it's just dirt being thrown at her. Maybe that's all there is to it.
At the end of the day, she's just divorced.
It's possible she's gone completely insane thinking about all the years she's lost.
Right? Fucking Emre, of all people. My goodness.
People have different tastes.
Güliz, Lale would never do something like that.
I agree.
Lale is all about morality.
She wouldn't fall for that fantasy thing.
Aslı, admit you did it.
I told you it wasn't me, Yusuf.
I wouldn't have. Because I'd think this wouldn't hurt Lale.
On the contrary, this would let everyone know she's back on the air.
That's my opinion, and so that's why I'd never do it.
Wow, look how she thinks.
A kernel of wisdom from Aslı Tuna.
-Güliz? -Hm?
Could you have done something like this
because RedW is now our major competitor?
Whoa.
You think I'm involved? Is that what you're insinuating?
Just curious. This stays between us.
I wouldn't have the heart nor the time.
And it's your heads that are on the line here.
You're the ones who have to beat Lale.
I would only fire the people who couldn't and be done.
Sweetheart, you're really offending me now, you know.
I agree, Yusuf.
The idea that Güliz is to blame for this is absurd.
I'll remember this, y'know?
Whoa, hang on a minute, hang on.
I just now understood why the three of us are here right now.
What?
Poor Mister Yusuf here couldn't handle the pressure,
and knowing that he's Lale Kiran's most devoted follower, he got scared.
He didn't wanna be a target.
And this ruse is just to paint "I didn't do it" all over these walls.
Everyone murders the ones they love, don't they?
What do you think, love?
I can't say I'm not sold on this. Is it possible? What do you think?
I would never do this to Lale. What are you talking about, Aslı?
Truth is that Lale would never suspect you, Yusuf.
Am I right?
Of course she wouldn't.
Let me remind you that you were Büşbüş too.
So, don't be so sour about it. You're their prime suspect.
Büşbüş? What is that?
Never mind.
Things from the past.
Come on. Say it.
It was you, wasn't it?
Come on, say it, love.
Just say it. Don't worry, we'll clean it up.
I hope you took extra care to hide your IP address,
because I'm sure Kenan's got the whole internet
turned upside down by now.
Whoever did this,
I'm sure they'll drop like a fly soon.
I'm not guilty, goddamn it!
Enough! I really don't have the time to put up with this anymore.
And I won't forget that you accused me of this, Yusuf.
-Güliz, tonight… -Tonight? There is no tonight.
Just forget about it. I'm going to Sila's by myself.
Twenty-four hours, Bora. You sure it won't take longer?
Listen, I can feel it, it's gonna explode.
Okay, we need to find them and hang them ASAP. I'll be in touch.
I'm off to see my daughters. I need to check in on them.
So you're going to Selim's then?
No problem. I'll see you.
I won't be long.
Good day to you.
Mila?
My love? Sweetie?
-Baby? Mila? -Ma'am.
-Mila! -Hi, ma'am. Welcome.
I appreciate it, Ömer.
Uh, didn't Mila go to school?
She didn't want to go. She was here with Selim earlier.
Kids nowadays, they're all glued to their phones.
They know everything that's going on.
Yeah, Ömer, I agree with you, but this is of little consequence.
It's gonna blow over quickly. I'll talk to her.
Ma'am. This is devastating.
Seeing Mila like that this morning…
My heart's breaking.
Thank you, Ömer, much appreciated.
Have a good one.

LALE KIRAN'S SEXTAPE WATCH IT BEFORE THEY DELETE IT
MEET THE WORLD OF CRYPTO
Jesus Christ.
THE BIG EXPOSÈ
HELLO, CAN YOU SEND ME LALE KIRAN'S SEXTAPE?
FUCK OFF
What's going on?
It's gonna be somewhere…
BÜŞBÜŞ, SHARE THE VIDEO
BÜŞBÜŞ WOULD'VE FOUND IT
NO ONE'S HEARD FROM BÜŞBÜŞ?
LALE KIRAN IS A STONE COLD FOX
SHAMELESS, SHE'S SUPPOSED TO ME A MOM
I'm not gonna beat around the bush. You know what I want, don't you?
Eh, in your post you said you watched the video. Right?
Yeah, send me the link for it, okay? It's not online anymore.
ANYONE GOT THE LINK? #LALEKIRAN
All right, yeah. Send it to me.
I SIMPLY MUST WATCH IT
DM ME IF YOU WANT THE LINK #LALEKIRAN
Hmm.
Damn! Oh, no.
YOU WON CRYPTO!
No, no, no, no! No. Ugh!
For crying out loud…
DETECTING LOCATION
Wow. This was assigned to you?
So, you're the shield now?
-I'll get you some tea and bagels. -Okay. Thank you.
Yeah.
LOCATION FOUND
I'm good at this, I swear, I'm so good, man!
THE OTHER SIDE
What is Güliz doing here?
No idea.
Right. Okay.
Listen, guys, the IP address of the cyberattack on Lale Kiran
has been found.
The attacker's identity is still unknown,
but would you be interested in covering this as a breaking news story?
I'm going to the bathroom.
Um…
No, let's not do that.
It's just raw news without an identity.
Thanks, hon.
I tried to call you.
They found the IP address.
It's only a matter of time 'til they find who did it.
We're almost at the end now.
No, we're not.
What's wrong, Lale?
I went to the restaurant as planned.
I went there for damage control.
You should have seen how Mila was.
Kenan, this is over.
It's already spread into the atmosphere.
What are you talking about?
We're going to disclose that right now, we're gonna make 'em pay.
Think of this as murder.
The damage has already been done.
It doesn't matter how they pay for this.
The dead are gone for good.
So, forgive me if I'm not exactly over the moon about this.
Sound check.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
January, February, March, April.
LALE, I TRIED TO CALL YOU. I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU. ARE YOU OKAY?
I don't think you should push this further.
It is too late now.
Why are you being so hard on me, Aslı?
What's your issue?
Last five before airtime.
Four, three,
two, one,
you're live.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
-I'm Yusuf Tunca. -And I'm Aslı Tuna.
Welcome to The Other Side.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
We have an action-packed show for you tonight.
Hey, it's Mom!
İzmir's been transformed into a winter wonderland following the hailstorm.
The hailstorm in the Çeşme and Karşıyaka districts of İzmir
was particularly intense. The streets, alleys--
Don't turn it off, I wanna watch Mom!
No way.
-…covered in a pristine white-- -Give me that. We're not gonna watch her.
The council got together today at noon
in order to discuss and come up with a solution for that particular scenario.
Around six o'clock in the evening, the initial statement was made public.
I'm Lale Kiran.
And this is Daily Journal.
Perception is real.
What people believe is more real than what actually happened.
And no one can change what has already been agreed upon as real.
Here we reach the stage of surrender and retreat.
The president's vision for the future and his…
LET'S HEAR WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY
WE'RE LISTENING, LALE
TELL US ALREADY, LALE
CUT TO THE CHASE, LALE
WHAT'S SHE ON ABOUT? THIS IS INSANE
DON'T YOU FIND IT STRANGE TOO?
NO WAY! SHE'S GONE ON AIR!
AT LEAST EMRE DIDN'T SHOW
WE'RE NOT USED TO SEEING YOU LIKE THIS, LALE
STOP IT, LALE. YOU'VE SHOWN YOUR TRUE COLORS!
SEEING LALE IN CLOTHES…
IT FEELS WEIRD SEEING HER LIKE THIS NOW.
THOSE WHO WATCHED THE TAPE, PING ME I STILL CAN'T FIND IT
So did you manage to find the video?
I will soon. I'm about to find it, I can feel it.
As a journalist, you know, this is where I excel.
Have you decided what you're gonna do?
Decided what? About what?
We need to know what we should do.
You're the CEO, you have to make a decision now.
Um, hmm…
I'll think on it.
How are the girls?
Thank God, Melisa has no idea about what's happening.
I don't care about me. I'm just worried about you three.
Mila, is that you?
Put her on, so I can speak to her, please.
She doesn't want to?
Selim, uh…
I was wondering if…
I could come by so that we can talk…
Of course. No problem.
We'll plan it ahead. No problem. Yeah, in a few days. No problem.
No, I'm fine, I'm--
I'm fine, I'm okay, I don't need anything.
I can handle this on my own.
You should focus on the girls.
See you.
What do you need? Please, ask me something, anything.
Hm?
Do you want to be alone?
Okay.
You can call me whenever you want, no matter what time it is.
I'll come running.
There's this guy at the network, Mert.
Mmm.
He's the new producer.
A junior, not some big shot or anything, but
he's quite good at his job.
So I'm thinking, maybe I should give it a shot and be with him.
Don't you have a boyfriend?
No, I don't.
That's weird, your vibe says differently.
How's that?
Well…
You know, the girl with, um, a boyfriend vibe.
You know, that kind of vibe.
I'm not really into that kind of thing,
as you might have guessed.
But, one might need a person to, mmm…
keep up appearances in social circles.
Mmm!
And, of course, sex is awesome. Mm-hm.
Was Kenan your first? I'm curious.
He was.
We need more.
And how was it?
Did you tell yourself,
"Wow, sex is such an amazing thing, I should do this often?"
Hm…
Oops.
Okay, give me that. I'll do it.
Well, I mean…
It was strange, naturally.
It was strange
being so close…
to someone.
It was a strange experience.
Being close to someone?
So I guess, um, I have a lot of close people.
Have you ever fallen in love?
No. No. I never have.
Uh-huh, that's not true. That's clearly a lie.
Sorry.
I'm sorry, for a moment
I forgot the person I was talking to.
Thank you, Miss.
I've been in love, that's true.
-I still am, actually. -Hmm.
But it's not working out, I try not to think about it.
You think it's possible?
I mean, can you go from desperately in love
to not giving a damn anymore?
Well, It depends on your reason.
Does it need to be divine intervention to, uh, decide that I'm giving up on it?
Uh…
In my opinion, if it has a negative influence on your drive to succeed,
then you should give up on it.
If not, don't throw in the towel.
So, you're saying that love is worth living for?
Well, not exactly,
but out of all the things that you'll go through in life,
it's a rare and special experience.
Love is…
…is not easy to come by.
Hey, you know what? I really hate Pilates after all.
I run away when the trainer comes over.
So don't do Pilates, then.
Do something else that you enjoy, Aslı.
-I used to play ball in our neighborhood. -Oh.
On top of that, I was a hell of a player, if you must know.
There was this boy, Soner,
I used to show off to him with my skills with the ball.
I thought I could win him over by convincing him
that I was an exceptional soccer player.
-You know how we do that. -Do what?
You know, falling for a guy who is good at something.
That Soner prick made fun of me.
I was furious with him, you know.
Do you know people that you can't stand?
-Some girl that was a pain in the ass? -Mm.
Like, you know, a person you'd love to rub their nose in it
and say "Eat this" when you're on air?
Or do you think sometimes, "I'm sure that asshole is watching me right now."
Aw. I should get off the high horse.
No, it's not that, no.
To be honest,
at first, I also had some people in my head
that I loved or hated.
Some I didn't like at first, but then liked, and vice versa.
Some were friends, and some were relatives, you know.
Well, in fact…
I was constantly trying to see myself through their eyes at first.
Only at first though…
Yeah, naturally, after a while
you don't care anymore.
It wears off
and you forget about those people. Basically.
Do you think that I did that to you?
Those rumors about the tape.
I don't think anything, to be honest, Aslı.
There's an iceberg hidden
within my subconscious.
You want something stronger perhaps?
This is the right dose.
Maybe Selim will call,
or something happens where the girls could need something too.
I'm good, thank you.
This is good.
Ugh.
Lale and her endless responsibilities.
They're endless.
What is this?
Whoa!
Whoa, what the hell is this?
Ratings?
These ratings set a new record. his is the highest ever!
Are you happy?
What do you think?
Hey, guys. Listen…
I have something to ask of you.
Uh, as you're all aware,
there is a challenging time period that we are currently going through.
So, please, I beg of you, do not place too much stock in the ratings,
and this is especially true in the upcoming days.
This wasn't something we achieved because of our work.
It's merely the repercussions of that goddamn scandal.
That's exactly right.
Yeah, but, I…
Uh, yeah, sure. I agree. Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay, let's begin. Who wants to go first?
TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE VIOLATION OF PRIVACY
Come in.
Captain.
Is this the perpetrator?
Who is it?
Come on.
Thank you.
