 Episode 183 One Man Down

Quick synopsis: A manhunt. Firat's series of mistakes. The end is nigh.

They have tracked Derya's phone to a tall planter outside a station (Train? Bus?) but she's not there. She's still in the witch's hut sans witch. Cevahir, of all people, is helping her. Who is this dude who pulls everybody's strings? When Baran goes back to the hospital Cihan is left in charge.

Gul and Dilan are lamenting Derya's choices. And being left with bodyguards. Ah, a gangster's wife's life...

Sabiha shows up at the hospital. Wait, doesn't she own one? Is this her hospital? Nobody says so.

A couple interesting things happen:

1. Gul and Dilan wonder, sort of off-handedly, whom Derya teamed up with now. Because she would team up with the worst lowlife to save herself. (I feel like the writers are just having fun now.) So we get some insight into what Cevahir is supposed to be in this world. If we haven't already figured it out from the one-gloved hand, shadowy close-ups, and slow-reveal clues. Paired with Baran's certainty that there's a mastermind involved. To be one tier up from both Derya and Sabiha, he must be next level.

2. Sabiha assures Dilan she is right to be angry with her, but maybe if she were a mother who'd lost her child, she'd understand. This feels like a reach, seeing as there's no kids yet. But it also feels like fore-shadowing. (Oof. That doesn't sound fun.) And then Sabiha thinks to herself that she lost both of them actually, and we are reminded that one of them--we think--is standing right in front of her. She's accepting of Dilan's censure and passing on good wishes for Kerem's recovery when Baran walks in through the sliding door. 

His eyes go wide.

But really, what was Dilan supposed to do? It's a public place. 

He inserts himself between them. And when she's gone, suits up to go into the ICU.*

Someone is finally eating: Gul has a small packet of crackers. Which she offers to Firat. Baran eats a bite too; Dilan insists. He's reduced to blinks as responses though, he's so forlorn. 

Firat offers, tea? No, Gul and Dilan just had some. Coffee then? No.

Azade and the boys show up. She dismisses Gul back to the house with a veiled threat about her mom and then she and Hasan lay into Firat. He points out that Gul is a more preferable to the woman they seemed to like so well. A woman like Derya. Point Firat! They try to throw it back on him but he reminds them, Hasan told him to marry Derya. And he knew how awful she was. Azade bangs her stick and Hasan gives him a look like, 'Yeah! What she said!' He's such a rat.

Derya's father is coming to the hospital. He looks shady, kinda broken down and floppy. Baran is on him; gimme your phone. They call a recent unknown number. Put the phone on speaker. She answers! There's a windchime in the background. After a brief conversation where everyone but her dad is completely silent, she hangs up, knowing they are onto her. Kudret stays with Dilan; Firat and Cihan go with Baran. He knows where she is. That sound was familiar.

Ok, so remember how I noted we never hear about Firat's mom? Well, in grousing about Derya, Azade wants to know, "What is it with Karabey boys? (Oh hon, don't we all?) They always go for the bad ones." Only Kudret picked a good one and that ended too soon. So she inadvertently insults Hasan, because his choice was iffy, but also he's the one who killed Kudret's wife Ayten, the only good choice. It's a double whammy for Hasan and she doesn't even realize it.

The Karabey boys have game faces on. Baran is absolutely certain of the place. His mom bought the windchime he heard in the background. Derya has been staying in one of their own cottages.**

Derya's ride pulls up out front. Baran pulls up facing her getaway car. It's a shoot-out between the Karabeys and the guys who came for Derya.

Dilan has a mild panic attack at the same time. A show of how connected they are? Kudret calms her down by saying he's in the same situation she is, it's his family out there too.

Cevahir's guys back down or flee. Firat pulls Derya out of the car. Okan is called in. Cevahir gets an update. Dilan gets an update. Kudret too.

There's nothing to update about Kerem.

When Baran gets to the hospital, he gets a big hug from Dilan. Baran should go home. Nope. Dilan should though. Fat chance. Kudret will go home.

Gul is on the patio when Firat and Cihan return. Firat gives her an update. A few things happen quickly:

1. Firat says he can see Silah is a bad guy. (I'm not sure about that. Also, see previous judgement.)

2. Yes, it was his decision to marry Derya, but it was just business. (The worst kind of excuse actually.)

3. But it wasn't only his decision; also he didn't go through with it.

4. Don't marry that guy because you are angry with me.

Gul counters with #5. and the final point, it doesn't matter if I do or don't marry him, I can't say 'yes' to you.

He believed Derya's lies and not Gul. They are ruined and done. And she goes back in the house.

And then: "Derya's lies?" Firat doesn' know what that means. 

Oh my dude. Firat, you misguided toad.

Sabiha is calling it quits. She needs to get away from it all and they (Dilan and Baran) need her to as well.

Kerem is awake! Baran can go see him. He's still in ICU so make it quick. They joke a little. And then he flatlines. But he won't let go of Baran's hand. The medical team hustle him out and start to use the paddles on Kerem.

Yelling at the tv:

*Again, you can't get suited up and then take your mask down. I know, I know, he has to talk. But still. It's weird.

**So, witch hut wasn't so far off, if you think of it in terms of Azade-doom.

Of note, Cevriye reads a letter that she thinks will explain why there are no baby photos of Dilan.

1 Hagia Sophia and 2 Hagia Sofaraways chanted.

Teaser 184:

Oh frick. They are seaside talking about Kerem in the past tense. Baran is remembering going fishing with him. Dilan comforts him. She's pretty good at it.
