00:00The story begins in 1969. On the streets of New York City, a truck driver was transporting a
00:06tanker full of petrol to his destination. During this time, his attention was more on the radio
00:11than on the road. The news was reporting about a dangerous serial killer spreading terror across
00:16the city. The police had nicknamed him Nightingale because he targeted hospital nurses. So far,
00:22he had murdered three nurses, and the police still hadn't been able to identify him.
00:26Distracted by the news, the driver lost control of the truck, and it crashed. The tanker,
00:31filled with petrol, overturned right on top of a manhole. Two electricians were working on
00:36electrical repairs beneath it. Petrol began pouring down, and just a small spark could have blown them
00:41to pieces. Just then, a team of firefighters arrived at the scene. Fortunately, a brave firefighter named
00:48Frank Sullivan was with them. Risking his own life, he rescued the two electricians safely,
00:53just seconds before the explosion. Frank was known throughout the city for his bravery,
00:57and many women admired him. But Frank loved only two people more than his own life,
01:02his wife, Julia, and their six-year-old son John. Julia was a nurse at a hospital and cared for her
01:07family just as lovingly as she cared for her patients. For little John, his father was no less
01:12than a hero. Their bond wasn't just that of a father and son, but of two true friends. Back then,
01:18Frank owned a ham radio, which he and John used to communicate with strangers over long distances.
01:23The father's love for his son always warmed Julia's heart. Then came the night of October 12,
01:281969. Frank was standing outside the house, smoking a cigarette, when he saw something strange.
01:35A beautiful and rare sight in the sky, known as the aurora borealis, or northern lights. These are
01:41bright, colorful lights that are usually only seen around the North Pole. But that night,
01:46this phenomenon stretched across cities like New York, which was highly unusual. Auroras occur when
01:52the sun emits powerful energy called solar wind, a strong, hot, continuous stream containing millions
01:58of charged particles. When these particles reach Earth, they collide with gases like oxygen and
02:04nitrogen in the atmosphere, causing them to glow. This glow appears in the night sky as green,
02:10blue, and pink lights, what we call the aurora borealis. Another unique feature of auroras is that
02:16during these events, the ionosphere above Earth becomes so highly charged, that it acts like a
02:22giant radio reflector, allowing radio signals to bounce and travel great distances. Normally,
02:28the Earth's magnetic field directs solar wind toward the North and South Poles. That's why auroras are
02:33usually seen only near those regions. But the aurora that night was the result of a massive solar storm.
02:39A powerful burst from the sun disrupted the Earth's magnetic field so much that the aurora extended
02:44over New York City. However, Frank showed little interest. As usual, he sat down with his ham radio,
02:51hoping to catch a signal from far away. This is where the story took a new turn, flashing forward 30
02:56years later. On October 12, 1999, Frank's little boy, John, was now a 36-year-old police detective.
03:04He was skilled at catching criminals, but his own life felt stuck. His girlfriend had left him because
03:09he still hadn't healed from his past trauma. October 12, 1969, the day his father, Frank, died.
03:16John was only six years old then. Frank had gone to put out a massive fire at a Buxton warehouse in
03:21Brooklyn, but only his charred body returned. That day, John not only lost his father, but also the
03:28support and hope in his life. Even after 36 years, the wound in his heart remained fresh. His home was still
03:34filled with memories of his father, old photographs, baseball trophies, and the same table where Frank
03:40once connected with the world through his ham radio. It was October 12, 1999, the anniversary of Frank's
03:47death. By a strange coincidence, the same aurora was visible in the sky again, just like 36 years ago, and this
03:54phenomenon was becoming more frequent. When John returned home after visiting his mother, Julia,
03:59he saw that his childhood friend, Gordo, had come to visit with his son. While playing around, Gordo's son
04:06discovered Frank's old ham radio. Seeing it, John was deeply moved. A short time later, Gordo and his son
04:12went home. The radio was still on while John watched TV. Then he suddenly heard a voice coming through the
04:18radio. CQ15, CQ15, come in. Is anyone listening? John went to the microphone and replied,
04:25Hello, I'm calling from Queens, New York. My name is John. Who's speaking? The voice on the other end
04:30answered, Dude, I thought ham radios could reach China and Japan, but you're calling from my own city.
04:37By the way, John, if you're from Queens, you must be watching the 69 New York baseball series.
04:43Which team are you supporting? Hearing this, John was startled and said, Are you kidding?
04:47Why would I watch a 30-year-old game right now? Silence filled the air for a moment.
04:52Then John heard something strange. The man on the radio called his son,
04:56Little Chief. John froze. His father, Frank, used to call him by that exact nickname when he was a
05:02child. John asked, By the way, what did you say your name was? The voice replied,
05:07Frank. Frank Sullivan. John's face turned pale. He thought it must be his friend Gordo playing a
05:12prank using his father's name. He said, Gordo, that's a very stupid joke. You're going to get
05:18a good beating from me tomorrow. But the voice replied, Gordo, you mean the neighbor's kid?
05:23Do I sound like a little boy to you? Look, I really am Frank Sullivan. Now tell me clearly,
05:28who are you? John grew irritated and said, Stop talking nonsense. Frank Sullivan was my father's
05:34name. He died 30 years ago. I'm his son, John Sullivan. Speaking from his house in Queens,
05:40New York. Hearing this, the man on the other end froze. His face appeared. And it was a shocking
05:47sight. It was indeed Frank. Speaking from the other side. From 30 years in the past. All of this
05:53was happening because of a celestial phenomenon. Something truly miraculous. That day, at different
05:59times, both John and Frank had seen the aurora glowing in the sky. It seemed the aurora borealis had
06:05opened a hidden dimension, allowing radio signals to travel 30 years back in time. Both Frank and
06:10John found it hard to believe. In a panic, Frank accidentally dropped his cigarette onto the
06:15table. The cigarette landed on a flammable thing, setting the wooden surface on fire.
06:20Frank quickly extinguished the flames. Meanwhile, 30 years later, John was sitting at the same table
06:25with the same radio. Suddenly, the exact same burn mark appeared on his table. John was stunned.
06:32He now realized he was really talking to his father. He said, You burned the table,
06:36didn't you? I can see it. You burned the table. Hearing this, Frank felt the ground slip from under
06:42his feet. It seemed to him as if someone nearby was watching him or playing tricks on him. He shouted
06:47into the radio. Listen, whoever you are, stay away from my family or I'll break your bones.
06:53John replied, But for that, you'll have to stay alive, Dad. You're going to die. On the morning of October 12th,
07:001969, there'll be a fire at the Buxton Warehouse. You'll go to put it out, and you'll be killed.
07:06Frank said, What nonsense are you talking about? October 12th is today. It's already midnight.
07:12You're saying I'll die tomorrow morning? John said, Now listen to me carefully. When you go to put out
07:17the fire, don't take the window exit. Take the other one instead. Do you understand? Exit the other way.
07:24But Frank turned off the radio. He still thought someone was trying to fool him. The next morning,
07:30while Frank was at the station, he got news that the Buxton Warehouse was indeed on fire.
07:35He was shocked. Now he began to believe John's words. At least a little. He and his team rushed
07:41to the scene. The fire was intense. A woman came running, crying that her daughter was still trapped
07:46upstairs. Frank paused for a moment. Fear struck him. Maybe this was the day he'd die. But he couldn't
07:53ignore his duty. He went inside, climbed up to the upper floor, and found the unconscious girl.
07:59He carried her to a window, where his team was trying to reach him with a ladder. But something
08:04went wrong with the ladder's mechanism, and it couldn't reach the window. Then Frank remembered
08:09John's warning to take another exit. Without wasting time, he ran toward the other side and
08:14escaped through a ventilation shaft, sliding down safely out of the burning building. Meanwhile,
08:19in the present, John was sitting at a bar, drinking with his friend Gordo and Chief Officer Satch.
08:25Satch had been a close friend of Frank's, and since today marked exactly 30 years since Frank's death,
08:31the three of them were reminiscing about old times with him. John had completely forgotten the previous
08:35night's strange events, thinking it had all been just a dream. Suddenly, strange memories began to
08:41form in John's mind. Memories he had never known before. Memories of growing up with his father,
08:46being taken to school, playing together, talking as if Frank had never died. John dropped his glass
08:52of wine and suddenly blurted out, My dad didn't die in a fire 30 years ago. Hearing this, Gordo and
08:58Satch looked at John in confusion. Gordo said, We know John. Your father died of cancer 10 years ago.
09:05John was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He realized that he had actually spoken to his father
09:10in the past, and Frank had listened to him and avoided his death in the fire. A new memory now
09:15appeared in John's mind. Frank had died of cancer 10 years ago because of his smoking addiction.
09:21Meanwhile, in the past, Frank came out of the burning building with the rescued girl. He
09:26discovered that a loud explosion had occurred in the same room where he had been waiting for the
09:29ladder. Had he stayed there any longer, he would have been killed. Frank was now completely convinced
09:34that the man he had spoken to on the radio was truly his future son. Frank returned home and tried
09:39to contact John again on the radio, but he couldn't reach him. Meanwhile, in the present,
09:44John was filled with joy. When he returned home late that night, he saw that all the pictures in
09:49his house had changed. The newspaper clipping that once reported Frank's death now described him as a
09:54hero who had risked his life to save a little girl. Then John noticed some letters written on the
09:59table. They read, I'm still alive, chief. John's eyes filled with tears, knowing Frank had written
10:05those words in the past. John and Frank were once again connected. Both were overjoyed and talked
10:11for hours. During this time, John eagerly told Frank about things that would happen in the future,
10:16which team would win the baseball game, when Frank would buy his favorite car, and many other things.
10:22Finally, he told his father that he would die of cancer because of smoking. He begged him to quit
10:27so he could live long enough to see him in the future. During all this, John became very emotional.
10:32He called his mother to ask about her health, but her phone was unreachable. In the past,
10:38Frank went to the hospital to visit his wife, Julia. She was treating a patient at the time.
10:43When she saw Frank, she asked her junior to take care of the patient and went to meet him.
10:47Frank was happy, as if he had been given a second life. He was sharing his joy with his wife when
10:53Julia suddenly noticed her junior about to give the patient the wrong medication,
10:56a mistake that could have been fatal. Julia ran and stopped him just in time.
11:00Frank expressed his love to Julia and returned home. Meanwhile, in the present,
11:06John was fast asleep when he had a strange dream. He dreamt that someone from his family had died and
11:11a funeral was taking place. Little John was sitting in a corner, terrified and crying.
11:16Suddenly, he saw his mother's locket. The next moment, John woke up with a start,
11:21drenched in sweat and breathing heavily. But the strangest thing was that he couldn't forget the
11:25dream. Every detail, every face, every feeling was still clear in his mind, as if it wasn't a dream,
11:33but a memory. Panicked, John called his mother, but a strange woman answered the phone. He tried again,
11:40and once more, the same unfamiliar voice replied. John thought it might be a network issue. He got
11:46ready and went to meet his girlfriend, Samantha. Now that the weight of his father's death had been
11:51lifted from his heart. He wanted to apologize and make things right with her. But when he saw
11:55Samantha, he was shocked. She didn't recognize him at all. She acted as if she had never met him.
12:01For a moment, John was stunned. Then he assumed Samantha was only pretending out of anger.
12:07Disheartened, he returned to the police station to resume his duty. But things there felt strange,
12:11too. John's chief, Satch, who had once treated him like a friend and sympathizer,
12:16had suddenly changed his attitude. Now, he seemed cold and intimidating.
12:21Satch handed John a case file. The two of them had been working on a case for several days.
12:26A few days earlier, they had found a buried body at a construction site, reduced to nothing but bones.
12:32Satch told John that the body belonged to a nurse named Mary Finley, who had been the first victim of
12:37Nightingale, the same dangerous serial killer who had murdered three nurses 30 years ago and had
12:42remained unidentified ever since. Satch said in frustration,
12:46What a shame. A serial killer who murdered 10 people 30 years ago and even today, the police
12:52haven't been able to identify him. John was shocked. According to his knowledge, Nightingale had only
12:57killed three nurses 30 years ago before disappearing. But when John looked at Nightingale's murder file,
13:02the ground seemed to slip from beneath his feet. His mother, Julia, was listed among Nightingale's
13:07victims. John's mind went blank. He rushed home and saw that Julia had vanished from the family photos.
13:14At that moment, he realized something horrifying. The changes he made in the past to save his father
13:19had also altered the present. John immediately contacted Frank in the past and told him that
13:24changing history had caused major disruptions in the present. He said that the serial killer,
13:29Nightingale, had murdered his mother. Hearing this, Frank was horrified and asked,
13:33What are you saying, John? When and how did this happen? John replied,
13:37On the night of Caldas, October 22nd, which is probably a week later in your time. But I don't
13:44understand how it happened. Dad, did you do anything yesterday that you hadn't planned before?
13:49Frank thought for a moment and said, Yes, yesterday. After I escaped death, I went to the hospital to
13:55visit your mother. John realized that something must have happened at the hospital that led to his
13:59mother's death in the future. Then Frank said, John, don't worry. If you're sure Nightingale is going
14:04to kill Julia, I'll take her and go somewhere far away. So far that even Nightingale's shadow can't
14:09reach her. But John disagreed. He said, Dad, maybe doing that would save Mom. But think about this.
14:16Nightingale killed two women before Mom and four more innocent women after her. And all this happened
14:21because of us. Should we let them die like this? I don't think so. We may not know who Nightingale is,
14:27but I know who he's going to kill next. We can stop him, Frank said. But how, John? Do you want
14:32me to go to the police and tell them that Nightingale is about to murder a woman? Do you think
14:37they'll believe me? They'll just laugh, John said. Not the police, Dad. This is your job. You have to
14:43follow that woman and find out who Nightingale is. Once we identify him, the police can arrest him
14:49red-handed. Frank agreed. Though scared, he gathered his courage and went to the bar John had mentioned,
14:54the place where the next murder was supposed to happen. The target this time was Carrie Reynolds,
15:00a nurse who was expected to arrive that evening. John had told Frank clearly that Carrie left the
15:04bar exactly at 7.30 p.m. and her body was found behind the bar at 8 p.m. That meant Nightingale's
15:10attack occurred between 7.30 and 8 o'clock. John strictly instructed Frank to keep an eye on anyone
15:16following Carrie as soon as she left the bar and to call the police immediately. Frank was sitting at
15:21the bar when Carrie arrived with two of her friends. When the women saw him, they recognized
15:26him as the brave firefighter who had risked his life to save a girl. All three of them were impressed.
15:31They offered him a drink and chatted with him for hours. Meanwhile, Frank had no idea that the killer,
15:37Nightingale, was sitting at the bar, silently staring at him. But what was this? Nightingale turned
15:43out to be the same man Julia had treated at the hospital. Now everything became crystal clear. In fact,
15:48if John hadn't intervened in time and Frank had died in the fire, events would have unfolded exactly like
15:54this. Julia, who was treating Nightingale, would have received the news of her husband's death at that
16:00very moment. She would have left everything behind and rushed to her husband's side in tears. The novice
16:06doctor working with him accidentally gave Nightingale the wrong medication, which caused Nightingale's
16:11death. That would have been the end of his story. But the past changed. Frank survived, and Julia never
16:17left the hospital. Instead, Frank came to visit her at that very moment. The novice doctor was about to give
16:23Nightingale the wrong medication when Julia stopped him, and that's where all the trouble began. Nightingale
16:29survived and went on to continue murdering nurses, and a few days later, he killed Julia as well. However, Frank
16:35unknowingly ruined Nightingale's plan. He couldn't kill Carrie. As a result, Carrie's case file disappeared from
16:42police records in the present day. John was happy about that, but he still hadn't been able to
16:46identify Nightingale. John told Frank about Nightingale's next target, Sissy Clark, a nurse who
16:52also worked as a waitress at a nightclub. Nightingale was planning to kill her that night, between 2am and
16:575am. Frank arrived at the bar that night. Sissy was there, and Frank waited until 2am. Finally, when it was
17:04time to close, Sissy went upstairs to change. Frank also went to the bathroom, keeping an eye on her.
17:10Suddenly, someone attacked him. It was none other than Nightingale. Frank tried to fight back,
17:15but Nightingale knocked him unconscious. Then he took Frank's wallet from his pocket,
17:19stole his driver's license, and fled. When Frank regained consciousness, he immediately ran upstairs
17:25to look for Sissy. But by then, Nightingale had already killed her. Terrified, Frank returned home
17:31and told John that he had failed to save Sissy, and that Nightingale had also stolen his driver's
17:36license. Their situation had now become even worse. They still didn't know who Nightingale was,
17:42but now Nightingale knew everything about Frank, and could even reach Julia and little John. Frank
17:48was terrified, but John encouraged him. After thinking for a while, John suddenly said,
17:53Dad, if Nightingale touched your wallet, his fingerprints must be on it. Now listen to me
17:59carefully. Hide your wallet somewhere safe for the next 30 years so that no one can touch it.
18:03Frank did exactly that. He sealed the wallet in a packet and carefully hid it in an old wooden box
18:09by the window of their house. In the present day, John opened the same box 30 years later,
18:14and the wallet was still there, perfectly preserved. John excitedly said to Frank over the radio,
18:19Dad, don't worry. We have Nightingale now. John immediately brought the wallet to the police
18:24station and had the fingerprints tested. The results were shocking. Nightingale wasn't just anyone.
18:30He was a retired police officer named Jack Shepard. John found Jack, who was still alive and living a
18:35respectable life, hiding his dark past. John spoke to him and tried to learn everything about Nightingale
18:41during their conversation. Later, he returned home and contacted Frank through the radio. He told Frank
18:46that Nightingale's real name was Jack Shepard, and that he had been a police officer. John instructed
18:51Frank to call the FBI from a public phone, and tell them that Jack was the serial killer who had
18:56murdered all those nurses, and that after each murder, he kept a memento from his victims,
19:01like a locket or a piece of jewelry. John hoped that when the FBI raided Jack's house,
19:06they would find all the evidence and finally put him behind bars. But luck was still not on their
19:11side. Before Frank could do anything, Police Chief Satch arrived at his house. When Frank had gone to
19:17Sissy's place to rescue her, some neighbors had seen him there. And to make matters worse,
19:21Jack had planted Frank's driver's license near Sissy's body. Now Satch was convinced that Frank
19:27was Sissy's murderer and the real Nightingale. Satch arrested Frank and forcibly took him to the
19:32police station. During the struggle, Frank's ham radio fell to the ground and broke, and at that
19:37exact moment, the radio in the present also suddenly shut off. Now, John and Frank were completely cut off
19:44from each other. Satch took Frank into police custody and began a harsh interrogation. Frank tried to tell
19:49him the truth, that he had been talking to his future son through the radio, and that his son
19:54had told him Jack Shepard was the real murderer, Nightingale, who had been killing nurses one after
19:59another. But Satch didn't believe him at all. He thought Frank was making up ridiculous excuses
20:04to escape punishment. Frank then tried to convince Satch that he really was talking to his son from the
20:09future. He even told Satch the results of a recent baseball game, information John had already
20:14shared with him. But Satch, fed up, refused to listen to another word. Just then, Julia arrived
20:21at the police station to meet Frank, but Satch wouldn't let her see him. Instead, he took her
20:26to a nearby cafe to tell her that her husband was a serial killer. Meanwhile, Frank was locked up in
20:31custody when Jack Shepard arrived. Using his authority as a police officer, Jack entered the
20:36custody area without restriction and pointed a gun at Frank. He was about to kill him right there,
20:41but just then, another officer entered the room. Jack quickly hid his intentions, pretended to be a
20:47decent cop, and left with the officer. Frank was terrified. He knew Jack would come back to finish
20:52the job. Then something caught his eye. An electric wire. He connected it to the metal door of his cell
20:57and waited for Jack. Meanwhile, Satch was telling Julia that her husband was a serial killer. Julia was
21:03devastated, but Satch's attention soon shifted to the baseball match playing on the cafe's TV.
21:08Everything Frank had said about the game was happening exactly as he had described.
21:13Satch was shocked. He began to realize that Frank had been telling the truth all along.
21:18At the same time, Jack re-entered the custody cell to kill Frank. As soon as he touched the metal door,
21:23he was hit by a powerful electric shock and collapsed unconscious. Frank searched his pockets
21:28and found Jack's address written on his license. He then triggered the fire alarm in the police station,
21:34flooding the entire area with water, and used the chaos to escape custody. Frank was now determined
21:39to prove his innocence and expose Jack as the real murderer. He went to Jack's house,
21:45searching for the jewelry and mementos Jack had taken from his victims. Frank found them. But just then,
21:50Jack returned home. Frank ran, and Jack chased after him, firing his gun. The chase led them near a port,
21:56where Frank disappeared from sight. While Jack was looking for him, Frank suddenly emerged from
22:01beneath the dock, pulled Jack into the water, and stabbed him to death with a screwdriver.
22:07Frank climbed out of the water, gasping for breath, finally free. Moments later,
22:12Satch arrived with his team. He had just come from Jack's house, where he'd already found all the
22:17evidence proving Jack's guilt. After taking Frank's statement, Satch sent divers to recover Jack's body.
22:23Frank was officially declared innocent. He returned home, relaxed at last, and began repairing his
22:29radio. He noticed a pack of cigarettes on his table, picked it up, and threw it away. He didn't
22:35want to die of cancer in the future, leaving Julia and John alone. Then he turned the radio back on.
22:41The connection with John was restored. Frank told his son that everything was fine now. Jack Shepard was
22:47dead. But John found something strange. Nothing in the present had changed. His mother was still
22:53missing from the family photo. He was telling Frank this when suddenly, someone punched him hard,
22:58knocking him to the ground. It was the present-day Jack. That meant Jack hadn't died in the past.
23:04At that very moment, in the past, Frank was also attacked. By Jack. He knocked Frank unconscious and
23:10went straight to Julia's room to kill her. But just then, little John entered the room. His voice
23:15distracted Jack, allowing Julia to pounce on him, clawing at his face. The same scratch instantly appeared
23:22on the present-day Jack's face. Jack punched Julia unconscious and grabbed little John, trying to
23:27take him away. As he came downstairs, he saw Frank standing there with a gun aimed at him. Jack pushed
23:33little John forward and said, Drop the gun, Frank, or I'll snap his neck. Frank began lowering his weapon.
23:39In the past, Jack had put Frank, Julia, and little John's lives in danger. And in the present,
23:45he was holding a gun to John's head. Jack was about to erase John's existence with one shot.
23:50Just then, Julia attacked Jack from behind in the past. Frank quickly grabbed the gun. Jack shoved
23:56Julia aside and lunged toward Frank. But before he could reach him, Frank fired. Jack's hand was blown
24:01apart. And at that exact moment, the present-day Jack's hand began to vanish. Because in the past,
24:07he had lost it, trying to escape. Frank, Julia, and little John were finally safe. After that moment,
24:14major changes began to occur in the present. John's house, walls, and photos all started to
24:20transform. But the danger wasn't completely over. The present-day Jack still had a gun in his other
24:25hand. He aimed at John and was about to shoot when someone fired first. Jack's shepherd was gone
24:30forever. The one who shot him was none other than John's father, Frank. Yes, Frank was alive. And so was
24:38Julia. A son's love and faith in his father had made the impossible possible. Even time itself had
24:44surrendered. John finally had his family back. The future was now shaping a new story. John's girlfriend
