HUBBUB OF TRAFFIC AND SIRENS
All right, so, we have two suspects.
No arrests.
And another body, just two days after the last one.
Well, no-one was acknowledging the fact that we were dealing
with a serial killer. Semantics aside, we now need results, fast.
Inspector Ikmen, thank you for joining us so early.
I need you to get on top of this quickly. Of course.
Please let my team here bring me up to speed,
then I'll be in touch with a strategy.
Fine.
Thank you.
OK, so, where are we at?
After last night's murder, we're left with two suspects.
Karim Rahimi and Ibrahim Nasser.
Karim is the owner of the trash depot
and Ibrahim Nasser works as a trash collector
but also has another job as a super at a nearby apartment. Hmm.
OK. Did your surveillance turn up anything else on them?
No?
OK.
So, the only way to solve this is
to build a profile of our suspect's personality and proclivity.
I mean, if we don't have physical evidence,
we need psychological and behavioural.
So we need to know why in order to find out who.
And we have to do this for our victims as well.
Now, what put them in the wrong place at the wrong time?
We need to get closer.
OK. How are we going to do that?
Ah.
Ah?

DOOR BUZZES AND CLICKS
Hey, bro.
What are you doing?
Excuse me? Yeah. You work at Karim's recycling depot, eh?
You shouldn't collect here. This is not our turf.
Right.
Thanks. Still trying to figure this out.
I haven't been doing it very long.
Oh, what are those for?
You work here, or something?
I'm the super. Nice. Give you a place to stay too?
Yes, but it doesn't pay much. How did you get the job?
Maybe there's are building round here, I could... I doubt it.
I inherited the job from my father when he passed away. Oh, I'm...
I'm sorry.
CAR HORN SOUNDS
PHONE BUZZES
Er...
SHE LAUGHS
SHIP'S HORN HONKS
Did you get what you need? Yeah.
Pass code is 4729. I need it back today.
Karim's agitated. Worse than usual.
Hopefully this tells us why.
So, how you doing out there? You all right? How do you think?
But I did managed to break the ice with Ibrahim.
Told me his dad used to be the super at his building. I'll look into it.
What about the others? Nah.
Others don't talk to me.
Turf boundaries don't make it any easier.
Had a few near misses going down the wrong street.
They don't trust me yet.
And you know that talking to people and interrogating them
are two separate things, right? Ha, ha.
You want to switch? I'm good.
CAMERA BEEPS
How are you getting on? Kayra Khan.
The forensics on the cigarette butt came back clean.
There's no DNA match in our system, unfortunately. I'm really sorry.
What about Tarik? The metadata?
I'll chase it up.
You stay focused. Be careful.
Remember, you're a potential target now.
PHONE RINGS
Ali's phone. This is Ali.
Hey, Suleyman.
So I finally got the toxicology results back for Ihsan and Feyzi.
They did have dangerous levels of alcohol in their blood,
along with traces of opioids.
Not enough to kill them, though. Only enough to knock them out. OK.
So the killer is still using alcohol. Yeah.
But why still get them drunk before killing them? To weaken them?
I think it's interesting to note that Ibrahim's father, Mehdi Nasser,
died last year of alcohol-induced liver failure.
And that's the most we can find on Ibrahim.
No trace of his mother, no birth certificate, nothing.
Sir. Data from Karim's phone.
It seems he owes somebody a lot of money.
We checked his records. There's no sign of debt.
This is more an off-the-books kind of debt.
You stole his phone?
Um... Well, we just borrowed it for a short period of time.
We walk the line on this one.
Understood?
Er, yeah.
So, we're now looking for a link between debt and murder.
Suleyman, you have to get closer. Mm-hm.
And I still want to talk to Omer about that bar.
The killer is still out there
and will strike again if we allow it. Yep.

Abe. Scale's broken?
No, it's not broken.

MUFFLED VOICES
What you want me to do? Please!
Why are you still here? Huh?
Why are you still here? Didn't you get paid?
My friend.
What is this? Please. What is this? It's crazy!
Omer?
Hi, Omer, hey. Look, I've done my cardio for the day.
What do you want?
Look, you're not in trouble, but you need to listen to me.
Your life depends on it, and the lives of your friends.
What are you talking about?
Just leave me alone.
You need to know, the guy who walked in on you
the other night at Zehra bar was a police officer.
OK? He was looking for information on Ihsan's murder.
Then what the hell was he doing in the changing room?
It was unintentional, and I'm very sorry.
He mentioned your scars. Were you attacked? Maybe I can help.
The guy left Istanbul a while ago, I think.
He was a drunk client from the bar.
I used to be a hostess there.
He was obsessed with me, waited for me one night.
Threw acid at me.
I am so sorry.
What the hell did your guy think he was going to find at the bar anyway?
You. He was looking for you.
Why?
I only go back because they let me use the shower.
I don't know who the murderer is.
But you know the victims.
We think whoever killed Ihsan killed Zain
and three other people as well.
The more we know about the kind of people he targets,
the better chance we have of getting to his next victim before he does.
I know.
I know what it's like to not feel safe.
Please.
Will you help me make sure no-one else has to die?
My name is Leah.
We found this in Ihsan's wallet.
He prayed to this photo every morning.
He killed them. His wife, too.
It was a horrible accident.
He was stealing gas to heat their house in winter.
There was an explosion.
He couldn't forgive himself.
Do you recognise this man?
Zain. He was at the Zehra bar on the night he died. Yeah.
He was crazy drunk that night.
So he was drunk before he arrived? Yes.
Mm. And the doorman kicked him out the back door.
But he wasn't a drinker. He just liked to come in and talk.
Mm-hm. His brother had an overdose and his family blamed him for it.
They disowned him.
He was totally alone.
I'd like to go home now.
Er, home? Back to the depot.
Uh, Leah, I don't think that's a good idea... Thank you, but...
No. I feel safe there, as a boy.
Nobody notices me. I'm careful.
If that's what you really want.
OK.
Hmm.
All the victims were isolated from their families,
all plagued by their past.
And with no-one to miss them.
Our killer targets weakness.
Vulnerability.
I might have a lead on Karim's debt.
This guy in a suit turned up,
strong-arms him into accepting this envelope.
Whatever was in it really upset him.
And Ibrahim was right over to comfort him.
You think they have a relationship? You think they're working together?
Possible.
I need to find what was in that envelope.
There's something else.
I got a call this morning. Had coffee at Aunt Hulya's apartment.
Leyla's remembering things.
What kind of things? Feelings. You know, more than actual facts.
Grief. Er... Confusion.
Love.
She thinks you're lying to her about what happened between you guys,
about why you broke up.
Mehmet, she thinks it's the key to everything.
That if she finds that out, her memory will come back,
that she'll remember everything.
You know, look, I know it's scary or hard being open with people,
but she needs to know the truth.
You know?
And, look...
..letting people in, that is what's going to draw out our killer. Yeah?
What about you?
You're the most closed-off person I know.
CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
HE SIGHS
Detective Ayse Farsakoglu.
My poor mother's recipe.
He dishonours her.
Well, it smells amazing.
So you finally came to take me up on my offer? Oh, no, not quite.
I'm actually here because I have a recipe as well.
I think it's yours.
So this is a kind of a courtesy call to tell you that once
I tie that recipe to you, Mr Kayra Khan,
it will disappear from the streets of Istanbul forever.
So, what's this?
Fair warning?
You think I deal Kayra Khan? Goodness me, no!
I will concede it has been troubling me.
It...
Kayra Khan, the drug, has been troubling you?
You know, drugs are an unfortunate hazard of the restaurant business.
DISHES CRASH
God knows what this idiot's on. Sorry!
If you say you have the recipe...
..I'd be willing to trade. Mm?
It would be of interest to me.
Purely academic, of course.
I'm sure, but that's not going to happen, so...
Don't be naive, Detective.
I told you before.
You should listen to a man when he offers you something.
Huh. Yeah, that depends on what it is.
Information that would be very useful to you.
The question is not what, but who.
You're bluffing.

PHONE BEEPS
Hey. Hey.
You OK?
So what was so urgent? I thought you were undercover?
Ayse just texted me.
OK.
Kayra Khan is the drug. It's not the dealer.
Finally we're getting somewhere.
Nice work, Ayse.
You should go undercover more often.
I'm guessing she told you.
She did.
I cheated on you, Leyla.
In London.
It's why you left.
I didn't want to mess up your recovery.
Look, I...
I don't know what's going to happen to me.
And you deserve to know the truth, so there it is, but...
Look, Leyla, I was sorry, and...
Look, I can't even begin to describe how sorry I am now. Stop!
Hey. Stop! Hey, hey, hey, hey. Just...
Just let me... Just let me...
Look, I...
I've had this...
This hole in my heart since I was a kid,
and I have tried to fill that hole with ambition, and work.
And then I met you.
Right?
And I felt whole for the first time in my life, and you know what?
It terrified me.
And so I messed it up.
Oh, please.
I love you, Leyla.
Don't.
What are you going to do, then? You watch where you're going!
Hey! Hey!
Leave him alone!
HE GROANS
Are you OK? I'm OK. I'm OK, fine, it's...
It was my fault.
I just...
I'm so stupid and...
Come on.
Don't let Karim see you like this.
Hey.
Ali?
Come with me.
Come.
Wow.
You can breathe here.
Take a moment.
So, what happened?
What are you so angry about?
You want a list?
My mum was...
..erratic.
She had episodes.
But you can't hit your own mum back, can you?
Sometimes I...
I get angry.
So, er...
So...
..frustrated.
Maybe you're scared.
We have all been thrown away with so little mercy.
And your father, he didn't stop her?
She moved me away when I was six.
I...
..paid him a visit after she passed.
He's got... He's got a new family.
You don't have anyone else?
I did find someone.
And I ruined it.
I found myself so scared of losing her, it was...
..the first thing I did.
HE SNIFFS
I'm sorry for boring you.
No.
It's OK.
What about you? Mm?
How did you end up here?
Hah.
I didn't just end up here.
This is where my life started.
Let's leave the past where it should be.
Agh!
You stink, man!
Here. Do us all a favour.
Ugh.
You're melted.
Go to the hammam.
Anyone else to weigh in?
No? Good.
You've seen this?
I have told you, we're not acting for you.
So I'm not receiving any papers from the other side.
Please.
I know I haven't paid your last invoice, but she's just bled me dry,
and these people that I borrowed money from...
I am sorry, Karim.
I can't help you.
Please.
Please. I just...
I just want to walk my kids to school.
Read them bedtime stories.
I...
I just want to be a good father.
Please. Sorry, Karim, I really am.
We've got Karim all wrong.
His anger, his aggression...
He's in the middle of a custody battle.
I think...
..the window, the face.
Hear the sound of the leaves rustling through the trees.
GROANING
So beautiful.
So calm, peaceful.
You're going to like it.
I promise you.
Omer, trust me.
LEAH MUMBLES
Hey. Ali.
What's going on?
Omer had too much to drink.
LEAH GROANS
Don't worry.
I'll get him to bed.
Hey there, mate. How are you doing?
Not too good, right?
OK, let's get you to bed, shall we?
Come on, come on.
Three, two, one. Oh!
Thank you.
Make sure you lie him on his side.
Keep him safe.
Yeah.
Keep him safe.
Ayse, he got to Leah.
She's OK, but... I think I just saved her life.
It's Ibrahim, he's the killer.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
He's got trophies from each of the victims.
This is Ihsan, Nirrop, Sevket, Feyzi.
What is this?
Male baby, 25th of May, 1983.
What, is this the seventh victim we're yet to discover?
Hey.
Hi.
Are you OK?
Was he going to kill me?
Erm...
Where am I meant to go?
Nowhere is safe for me now.
Hey, no, no. It's OK, we've got a place for you.
At the women's refuge, they're getting a room ready for you now.
They can help you find a new job, a new life.
You won't have to live in fear any more. You'll be safe.
OK.
Pembe, this is Leah. Leah, this is Pembe.
She'll take you to the women's refuge we talked about, OK?
You can go in the back.
Searched all night, went back to the depot, asked around.
No-one's seen him. He's hiding.
Mm.
Tarik says his phone is offline, and no sign of him at his apartment.
Any other leads?
He talked about mercy.
Maybe that's what he thinks he's giving to his victims.
Huh...
Reeling them in, showing them the compassion they've been lacking.
Where's Ayse?
I said I'd debrief her when I got back.
I'll feed back to Ayse.
Do you remember when we first met?
I asked you why you were here.
She told you? Yes.
If you had told me then, when I asked,
things might have been different.
Your duty is to this job...
..and this job alone.
We have a serial killer that needs your full attention.
Mind, body and soul.
Have I made myself understood?
Yes, sir. Good.
Now, get yourself cleaned up and be ready.
Ayse will keep you posted.
PHONE RINGS
Yep, Ayse?
Leah's missing, Suleyman. Ibrahim kidnapped her at gunpoint.
Can you track her mobile? I'm trying, bro.
I'm trying, but there's nothing. It's dead.
OK, OK.
Ayse, Ibrahim took me to a safe place.
It's in an abandoned building on Cukur Street. Try there.
That's the old hospital. Suleyman, can you meet us there?
I'm on my way. Let's go. Let's go.
Cukur Street, please, fast as you can.
It's going to be so beautiful.
Ibrahim.
Hey.
Let's talk about this, mate.
Ibrahim! Hey!
Hey, put the gun down!
Put it down now.
Detective, shoot me...
..and we both go over.
Huh?
Don't worry. She's fine.
Just given a little dose of medicine.
Her suffering will soon be over.
Put the gun down. OK.
Ibrahim.
It's all right, it's all right.
I'm Cetin, this as Ayse.
I see you, Ibrahim.
I know nobody's heard your cry for help, but I see you.
And I also see my colleague...
..and someone whose life is just beginning...
..as yours could, too.
No, it's...
It's too late for me.
It's been too late.
From the moment my mother left me in the hospital...
..like trash.
Too late for your friends, too!
No.
Their lives will never be worth living.
Their only freedom will come in death.
No, no, no, no... Hey, hey, hey, Ibrahim.
Hey. Ibrahim.
I'm going to put my gun away, OK?
I want to show you something.
OK?
Hey.
This is yours, isn't it?
You're the final victim.
It didn't work, did it?
All that killing, all that mercy.
It didn't stop the pain and the noise in your head, did it?
None of this was about them. It was about you.
About this place, the source of all your pain.
Where your mother left you.
So, you brought us here...to die.
To finally taste freedom.
Well, that... what other choice is there?
It doesn't have to be this way.
You can face your feelings, you can do it.
I know it's hard, but you can do it, Ibrahim.
What happened to you does not define you.
You can fight your demons.
You can fight them and you can defeat them.
I promise.
I did, and you can, too.
Put the gun down, please.
Please.
Yeah.
OK.
Now untie Leah.
Yeah...
Yeah.
Please, give me your hand, Ibrahim.
I've already lost. No...
No, no, no! No! Hey, don't!
AYSE GASPS
POLICE COMMS CHATTER
You couldn't have stopped him.
He's right, you know.
You can't unpick a lifetime of pain in one moment.
Well done. Well done, Ayse.
Well done...
AYSE EXHALES
Tea?
Are you feeling a bit better?
A little bit better.
They're going to take you to the hospital now, OK?
Sir?
About earlier...
I know I let you down.
I'm sorry.
Look...
I just want us to be a team again.
I need your help.
No.
Please. Sir?
This isn't about me.
I'm not going to drop it, sir. I...I can't.
Mehmet.
Hey, I...
Thank you.
Yeah.
